The present invention relates to a toe insert for preventing athlete's foot in the summer, and to prevent foot drowsiness and frostbite in the winter, and more particularly, antibacterial or sterilizing agent and sweat to combat athlete's foot inside the toe insert having excellent thermal insulation. The present invention relates to a toe insert provided by absorbent high absorbent resin, and in summer, the insert is inserted into the sole surface of the foot to combat athlete's foot sweat due to sweat between the toes, and to suppress disgusting foot odor. By inserting the insert between the toes on the side of the foot in the opposite direction to the summer season, the cold air temperature is blocked primarily, so that the four seasons always provide a toe insert that prevents foot odor or prevents athlete's foot and prevents foot stiffness. It is confirmed that the invention is completed.

Athlete's foot is a skin disease caused by mold, and mold likes to live on moist and warm parts of the skin, and when hands or feet sweat, fungi (sick fungus) choose a good place to live, such as toes and soles. It is a fungal bacterium that dissolves keratin and makes it a nutrient.

In particular, modern people wear narrow shoes with an emphasis on appearance, and the shoes with narrow balls inhibit the air circulation between the toes, causing sores and accelerate the occurrence of athlete's foot by creating a hot and humid atmosphere. do.

Athlete's foot is the best condition for athlete's foot fungus activation when sweat and sweaty, high temperature and high humidity conditions, athlete's foot can be concentrated in the callus and dead skin of keratin, and if the air is blocked by shoes or socks, By this fungus is more active.

To prevent athlete's foot, you should wash your feet every day to keep the fungus inhabited, and keep your feet completely dry, especially between your toes, to keep them hot and humid. It is recommended to wear socks with cotton socks and change them once a day. If possible, stay barefoot at home to minimize moisture on the skin.

Frostbite refers to a phenomenon in which the moisture in the skin tissue freezes and damages the cell membranes due to cold weather below freezing during the winter months.The part of the body where the frostbite can catch can be easily deprived of heat. It is easy to occur on the tip, the tip of the ear, the upper part of the cheek (clown bone), fingers, toes, hands, feet, etc., and shoes or gloves are tightly fitted, so it is difficult to get blood pressure or socks, gloves are often caused.

The soles of shoes or shoes are made of rubber or urethane resin with a thickness of several centimeters to alleviate the impact of weight while walking, and the cover (cover) is made of natural leather, artificial leather, nylon, etc. Most workers and soldiers in outdoor activities feel sick in winter, even if they are wearing thick socks to prevent feet or frostbite.

Since the sole of the shoe has a thickness of more than a few centimeters, it provides some insulation and lowers the cause of the cold feeling or frostbite of the sole, but the upper side of the sole or the part of the shoe cover the thickness of the cloth or leather. Since it is thin, the probability of getting frostbite on the toes or upper part of the toes, which is larger than the sole of the foot, is relatively high.

In view of the above-mentioned problems in recent years, looking for examples of some prior applications for preventing athlete's foot, in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2004-0015664, in order to smoothly ventilate by spreading between the toes to prevent athlete's foot or foot odor. We propose a toe insert that connects the plastic grass which makes artificial turf to form a mesh shape and connects it into a round ring shape again. Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2003-0086499 proposes toe moisture removal between the toes. By putting a disposable band between the toes to wear socks or stockings, it proposes a moisture removing band between the toes to keep the toes clean and dry, and in Korea Patent Publication 1998-0032014 So that the air It is flowing freely and also to prevent athlete's foot as well, offering a toe fungus protector so you can cure athlete's foot.

In the 2004-0015664 technology proposed in the patent, simply insert three rings on the toes to keep the toes from sticking to each other to maintain ventilation, and the toes do not adhere to each other. There is no ability to remove the moisture generated in the toes by using the polymer, and the process of making the mesh shape and making three round rings is not only complicated but also inconvenient when inserting the toes. Technological progress is not significant.

In addition, the 2003-0086499 technology is expected to reduce the cause of athlete's foot by removing moisture between the toes, but the shape is so complicated that it is difficult to manufacture and can not eliminate the athlete's foot. In addition, in 1998-0032014 technology, the toes do not stick to each other, so the ventilation is smooth, which prevents athlete's foot, but the band is attached to the skin of the foot to fix the inside of the shoe at high temperature. If the band is in contact with the skin for a long time under the high probability of dermatitis, it has the disadvantage that it is possible only for single use.

In addition, the prior art does not propose a method for combating the already generated athlete's foot fungus, and does not make a technical proposal to remove moisture generated in the toes, and to prevent foot drowsiness or frostbite caused by cold temperature outside in winter. It has a technical idea that it has a limitation that does not provide a method and improves it.

Accordingly, the present inventors have made a lot of efforts to prevent the athlete's foot in the summer and to prevent problems with frostbite and frostbite in the winter, and as a result, an antibacterial agent (sterilizer) capable of combating athlete's foot inside the toe insert having excellent thermal insulation and // Alternatively, the present invention was completed by confirming that the above problem can be solved by a toe insert for preventing athlete's foot and frostbite, including a super absorbent polymer and / or a deodorant capable of absorbing sweat.

Toe inserts provided herein is excellent in fit and insert the insert on the sole surface in the summer to combat the athlete's foot sweat due to sweat between the toes as well as to suppress the smell of the foot, in the winter to insert the insert in the opposite direction to the instep in the summer It is an object of the present invention to provide a toe insert that can be used at any time by inserting in to block the cold temperature from the outside.

The present invention relates to a toe insert for preventing athlete's foot in the summer, and to prevent foot drowsiness and frostbite in the winter, and more specifically, including only an antibacterial or sterilizing agent capable of combating athlete's foot inside the toe insert having excellent thermal insulation. Provided or provided with a superabsorbent resin that can absorb sweat, and in the summer has a technical idea to provide a toe insert in a configuration to add a deodorant to suppress foot odor.

That is, the present invention relates to a toe insert provided with 3-4 wings attached to a toe support, provided with an antimicrobial agent included in the toe insert, and the toe insert material is provided selected from natural fibers or artificial fibers. , Antibacterial agent is selected from the inorganic antibacterial or organic antibacterial agent provided in the summer to have a basic configuration to provide a toe insert to prevent athlete's foot and winter frostbite.

The basic composition may be provided by additionally including a super absorbent polymer, the super absorbent polymer may be provided selected from three-dimensional cross-linked acrylic acid, starch, methyl cellulose, and further includes a deodorant to the toe insert Can be provided

Also disclosed is a technical idea of a toe insert of a form provided by adding a deodorant to the basic composition or adding a deodorant to the addition of a super absorbent polymer to the basic composition.

Hereinafter, the technical spirit of the present invention will be described in detail.

First, the basic shape of the toe insert 30 to be provided herein may be provided in three types of FIGS. 1, 2, and 3.

Figure 1a shows an A-type toe insert 30 having a wing portion 10 above the A-type support 20 between the toes to prevent athlete's foot in summer, Figure 1B shows an A-type toe insert 30 ) Is a front front view of a state worn between the toes, and in FIG. 1C, a bottom view of the sole is shown in a state where a type A toe insert 30 is worn between the toes.

Figure 2a shows the B-type toe insert 31 of the structure to prevent frostbite in winter, so that the B-type support 20 for supporting the wing 10 to enter between the toes are located on the upper toe toward the instep. A toe insert 31 of type B is shown, and FIG. 2B shows a front perspective view of the type B toe insert 31 placed on the top of the toe, and FIG. 2C shows a type B toe insert 31 of FIG. While wearing between the toes shows a plan view from the instep side.

Figure 3a shows a C type toe insert 32 having a mixed structure of A type and B type, the structure having a C type support for supporting the wing portion 10 to be entered between the upper and lower both sides It is shown.

3b shows a front view of the toe front part in a state of wearing a C-type toe insert 32 having a support body 20 and 21 supporting the wing portions 10 entering between the toes from both the upper and lower sides thereof. In FIG. 3C, a perspective view of a state of wearing a C type toe insert 32 having supports 20 and 21 supporting the wings 10 on both sides is shown.

The A, B, and C type toe inserts 30, 31, and 32 are integrally formed so that four wings 10 are attached to the supports 20 and 21, respectively, so that they can be inserted into the toes at the same time. If the space of the big toe and the second toe is always separated, of course, it can be applied to the structure having only two to three wings (10).

The toe insert material is advantageously constructed to be as flexible and thin as possible to protect the skin damage of the toe caused by the toe insert during prolonged walking, and to prevent discomfort. In order to prevent frostbite, it is advantageous to be composed of the fiber to enhance the insulation effect by the formation of the air layer between the fiber and the fiber, the fiber can provide the heat insulation effect and flexibility by the formation of the air layer between the fiber and the fiber If present, natural or artificial fibers can be used without limitation, and the toe inserts may be provided with antibacterial or athlete's foot fungicides, super absorbent polymers, deodorants, and the like.

Natural fibers in the toe insert material may include cellulose-based fibers (seedling fibers, bast fibers, salt fiber fibers, fruit fibers), staples, filament-like protein fibers or mineral fibers, artificial fibers (organic fibers) Recycled fibers, semi-synthetic fibers, synthetic fibers) may be included, but it may be most desirable to use paper pulp that is relatively inexpensive and easily purchased from the environment.

The antimicrobial agent or athlete's foot sterilizing agent contained in the toe insert support 20 or three to four wings 10 is dissolved or dispersed in a solvent so as to be uniformly included in the toe insert wing of the present invention. Dip the toe insert (wing) into the solution and dry it to include the active ingredient in the toe insert, or to increase the sterilization effect in athletes with athlete's foot. May be advantageous.

The antimicrobial agent and athlete's foot sterilizing agent of the present invention may be used either of an inorganic antimicrobial agent and an organic antimicrobial agent, and in the case of the inorganic antimicrobial agent, it may be selected from silver nano antimicrobial agents of silver nano or silver salts and zinc oxide, or By using zinc oxide in a weight ratio of 1: 1 to 1:10 by weight, the antimicrobial action of the silver antimicrobial agent and zinc oxide itself can be provided together with the antimicrobial action, and the inorganic antimicrobial agent can be provided with the toe insert (wing part). ) Based on 100 parts by weight of the material is advantageous to include 0.5 to 15 parts by weight, preferably 2.5 to 10 parts by weight, and most preferably 4 to 8 parts by weight, which is included in 0.5 parts by weight or less. If the antibacterial and athlete's foot ability is insufficient, when contained in more than 10 parts by weight, the antibacterial and athlete's foot ability is excellent but silver nano or silver-based In the case of the anti-fungal agent, since it is expensive, it is not only economically low but also has a disadvantage of low flexibility of the toe insert, so it is preferable to add the appropriate ratio.

In the case of an organic antimicrobial agent, a pyridine antimicrobial agent or a benzoimidazole antimicrobial agent may be used alone or in combination. When used in combination, the antimicrobial activity may be further enhanced by a synergistic effect. -Oxide sodium as at least one of carbendazim (1H-2-benzoimidazolecarbamate) and thibendazole (2- (4-thiazolyl) -1H-benzoimidazole) as a benzimidazole-based antimicrobial agent. One can be selected and used, or a mixture thereof can be used.

Organic antimicrobial agent is advantageous to include 0.1 to 3.5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the toe insert (wing part), preferably 0.25 to 2.0 parts by weight, most preferably 0.5 to 1.0 parts by weight When included in less than 0.1 part by weight, the antibacterial and athlete's foot ability is insufficient. If included in more than 2.0 parts by weight, the antibacterial and athlete's foot ability may be excellent. Do.

In order to use the super absorbent polymer to add functionality to increase the moisture absorption rate of the moisture generated in the toes to the basic configuration of the toe insert, if it has a moisture absorption function can be used without limitation, mainly acrylic acid, starch, The thing manufactured by carrying out three-dimensional crosslinking reaction using water-soluble polymers, such as methylcellulose as a main component, can be used.

The superabsorbent polymer is advantageously contained 0.05 to 2.5 parts by weight, preferably 0.1 to 2.0 parts by weight, and most preferably 0.5 to 1.0 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the toe insert (wing part). Bar, when included in less than 0.05 parts by weight of moisture absorption in the toes is low, the occurrence rate of athlete's foot as well as high incidence of athlete's foot odor may occur, and if included in more than 2.5 parts by weight of long-term moisture Because of the strong hygroscopic power can reduce the cause of the athlete's foot for a long time, but the cost is expensive because of the disadvantage of economical disadvantages, there is a problem that the drying process for recycling is long, it is preferable to add in the appropriate ratio.

If you want to add a function to remove the odor in the toe insert configuration is preferably used by adding a deodorant having a physical adsorption function, deodorant is activated carbon or activated carbon fiber, zeolite, silica gel, porous material or chemical ring ( It has a ring structure and can be selected from cyclodextrins that can collect odors in the ring structure. Deodorant is advantageously 0.5 to 5.0 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the toe insert (wing). Preferably, 1.0 to 2.5 parts by weight is advantageous, and most preferably 1.5 to 2.0 parts by weight. When included in 0.5 parts by weight or less, the adsorption efficiency of the foot odor malodor is insufficient and the ability to remove odors is insufficient, and 2.5 parts by weight. If it is included above, it has excellent adsorption capacity of odor generated from toes, but activated carbon As the color of the toe insert of the female is changed to black, there is a disadvantage in that it can provide a visual rejection, and in the case of cyclodex, it is preferable to add the proper ratio because it may cause economic and visual problems such as high price. Do.

The size or color of the toe insert of the present application is not particularly limited and may be adjusted according to the size of the foot or the taste of the color of people. For example, it may be advantageous to provide a flesh-colored color to disguise that a toe insert for preventing athlete's foot and frostbite is mounted on the toe when the foot is exposed to the naked eye for example by wearing stockings.

Hereinafter, the present invention can be described in more detail by the following examples, it is obvious that the technical concept of the present invention is not limited by the embodiments.

Example 1

500 ml of water, 200 g of toilet paper, 2.0 g of acryl-type superabsorbent resin purchased from Kolon Emulsification, 4 g of silver nitrate (AgNO ₃ ) of Jusei Co., Ltd. as an inorganic antibacterial agent, deodorant 5 g of activated carbon of Tec was measured and dissociated toilet paper using a hand mixer to make it uniform.

The wet dissociated toilet paper was aliquoted so that the wing and the support were integrally formed so as to be inserted into the toes, and dried in a drier at 100 ^° C. for 5 hours to prepare a toe insert for preventing athlete's foot and frostbite.

The sample of the embodiment of the present application is made integrally with the wing portion and the support of the toe insert, but when produced on an industrial scale, the similar chemical treatment of Example 1 can be used only on the wing portion, and the support can be used as a material without chemical treatment, of course. In addition, the above embodiment describes an embodiment of using both an antibacterial agent, a super absorbent resin, and a deodorant, but among these, an embodiment using only a toe insert base material + an antibacterial agent and not using a super absorbent resin or a deodorant is also possible. Also, the embodiment using only the toe insert base material + antimicrobial agent + superabsorbent resin and no deodorant is also possible, and the embodiment using only the toe insert base material + antimicrobial agent + deodorant and without super absorbent resin is also possible, Toe Inserts Base + Antibacterial + Super Absorbent Resin + Deodorant All Raw Materials Yonghan the embodiments of Example 1, available as a matter of course.

The toe inserts prepared by the method of Example 1 were divided into 16 high school male students one by one, and inserted into only one toe in the direction of the sole to compare the insertion and the non-insertion of the sweat removal rate and foot odor. .

Example 2

The same as in Example 1 was inserted into only one toe to four people working in the freezer warehouse to test the foot discomfort between the inserted and uninserted. At this time, the insertion method was inserted to cover the toes and the like as opposed to Example 1. Three of the participants were wearing sneakers, and only one was wearing shoes.

Table 1 shows the experimental results of Examples 1 to 2.

Table 1

division Sweat removal (%) Odorless Odor (%) Porosity (%) Example 1 93.7 81.2 - Example 2 - - 87.5

According to Example 1, only one of the 14 students who participated in the experiment could not clearly identify the degree of sweat absorption occurred in the toes compared with the insertion and non-insertion of the toe insert according to the present invention, the remaining 13 toes When inserting the insert, it was confirmed that the sweat between the toes was firmly absorbed. In the case of foot smell, only 3 of the 16 did not feel the difference between the insert and the toe insert.

As such, the toe insert of the present invention prevents the overlap between the toes and the toes, absorbs sweat at a very high speed, and eliminates the high temperature and high humidity environment. By killing various germs, it was found that the smell of foot odor could be removed.

According to Example 2, only one person wearing shoes did not feel clearly, but the third person wearing the remaining sneakers inserted the toe insert of the present invention and confirmed that there was no discomfort clearly, thus completing the invention.

As described above, the four wing 10 is attached to the support 20, the antimicrobial and athlete's foot fungicide, super absorbent resin, deodorant inside the fibrous toe inserts integrally configured to be inserted into the toes at the same time By inserting the insert on the sole of the foot in summer, not only to combat athlete's foot caused by sweat between the toes, but also to suppress foot odor.In winter, the insert is inserted into the toe toward the back of the foot in the opposite direction to summer to block the cold temperature. It can be used for four seasons for people who have a lot of outdoor activities by preventing frostbite or frostbite, which has a great advantage in preventing damage to athlete's foot or frostbite.
