Description

Inflatable joint compression band

This technology forms an air layer between the skin and the body when an elderly person with weak skin around the joints wears a compression band, maintaining the force for compression but preventing direct contact between the skin and the body, damaging the skin even after wearing it for a long time. This relates to an inflatable joint compression band that does not cause this.

In general, a wrist band refers to a cylindrical band that is worn on the wrist to protect the wrist joints from external force during exercise or work.

This conventional wrist band is woven into a cylindrical shape using a mixture of natural fiber and rubber thread, and has strong elasticity, so it can always press the same wearer's wrist with the same force.

These conventional wrist bands are mainly used in a variety of sports, leisure, cultural and industrial activities, and have recently been widely used as a replacement for compression bandages to treat and protect various bone, ligament and muscle diseases that occur in the wrist.

On the other hand, the conventional wrist band has a problem in that it is not possible to wear it for a long time because the pressure is so severe that the skin of the elderly and the weak is relatively weakened.

Domestic registered patent No. 10-1997789 (announcement date: 2019.07.08.) Domestic registration utility No. 20-0231532 (announcement date: 2001.07.03.) Domestic registration utility No. 20-0406754 (announcement date: 2006.01.24.)

In order to solve the above-described conventional problems, the present invention is a joint that does not directly contact the weakened skin of the elderly and the wrist band, but maintains the force for compression, so that no damage occurs to the user's skin even when worn for a long time. The purpose is to provide a compression band for wearing.

In order to solve the above-described technical problem, the inflatable joint compression band according to the present invention is molded to have the shape of a plate using a flexible material that is free to bend and unfold, and has an attachment portion 111 formed in the longitudinal direction on the outer surface. A body 110 wrapped around the joint (J) portion, and an air injection body 120 provided on the bottom of the body 110 and inflated to apply different pressures to the joint (J) by the amount of air injected from the outside. and a hot and cold member 130 that is removably inserted into the air injection body 120 and is provided to dissipate cold or warm air in the direction of the joint J, and the body detachably from the attachment portion 111. (110) It is formed to have a predetermined length on one side and is characterized by including a fixing band 140 for fixing the body 110 wound around the joint (J).

In addition, the air injection body 120 is injected with external air through the air inlet 113 formed in the body 110, and the air layer 121 is formed after the body 110 is wound around the joint J. It is preferable that the body 110 is expanded to have an embossed shape in the longitudinal direction.

In addition, the air injection body 120 preferably communicates with the inside of the insertion hole 123 and has a through hole 125 formed so that the cold or warm air of the cold or hot member 130 can be dissipated in the direction of the joint J. do.

According to the present invention, unlike the prior art, an air layer 121 is formed in the form of embossing between the user's skin and the body 110, and an air injector 120 into which the hot and cold member 130 is inserted is provided, so that the skin and the body 110 are provided. Since direct contact between the bodies 110 does not occur, it is expected that the wearer can be worn for a long time without damaging the skin at the joint J area.

In addition, unlike in the past, the provision of a hot and cold member 130 dissipates cold or warmth to the joint (J) area according to the summer or winter season, so that it can be used for pain relief or muscle relaxation as well as for maintaining body temperature. Effects can also be expected.

Hereinafter, the inflatable joint compression band (hereinafter simply referred to as 'compression band') according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

Prior to the description, the joint (J) described below refers to the wrist joint or the knee joint formed in the user's body, and in order to clearly understand the gist of the present invention, the wrist Please note that the detailed explanation is based on a joint as an example.

First, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the compression band 100 according to the present invention largely consists of a body 110, an air inlet 120, a hot and cold member 130, and a fixing band 140. It is equipped to compress the user's wrist joint through the organic combination of these components, preventing pain by maintaining the range of motion in the joint, and furthermore, dissipating cold or warmth to the wrist to relieve pain. It has the advantage of helping with alleviation.

In more detail, the body 110 is designed to surround the user's joints, such as the wrist, so that not only pressure from the air injector 120, which will be described later, but also cold or warmth through the hot and cold member 130 is applied to the wrist. It is designed to radiate from one part to another.

For this purpose, the body 110 is made of a flexible material that is free to bend and unfold but is harmless to the human body, especially the skin, and is molded into the shape of a plate so that the ink part of the hand can be wrapped when used.

An air injection body 120 is provided on the bottom of the body 110 (in the direction of the body), and an air inlet 113 communicating with the inside of the air injection body 120 is formed on the plane through a hose pipe (not shown), etc. It has a structure that allows air to be injected into the air injection body 120.

Here, in addition to the hose pipe, the air inlet 113 allows the user to easily control the amount of air injected into the air injector 120 by directly pushing the air rather than injecting it through a machine such as a compressor. It is desirable to use an air injection ball (not shown) that can inject air little by little into the injection body 120.

On the outer surface of the body 110, a fixing band 140, which will be described later, and an attachment portion 111 for attachment and detachment in the form of a Velcro tape are formed in the longitudinal direction of the body 110, so that the length can be adjusted according to the circumference of the joint on which it is worn. It has a structure that can be attached.

In addition, the air injection body 120 is formed on the bottom of the body 110 described above and expands according to the amount of air injected from the outside through the air injection port 113 to compress the joint.

For this purpose, the air injection body 120 is molded using a synthetic resin material such as a typical water play tube, and is preferably formed in an embossed form to form a convex portion in the longitudinal direction of the body 110 to surround the joint. An air layer 121 is formed during compression.

Here, the air layer 121 functions as a circulation path for external air, and serves to prevent sweat from accumulating in the area where the compression band 100 according to the present invention is worn, especially in the summer, through the circulation of external air.

Of course, since the air injection body 120 also comes into direct contact with the user's skin, it is desirable to use a material that is harmless to the human body, like the body 110 described above.

Here, the air injection body 120 in the present invention is changed to have an opening width widened after expansion to form an insertion hole 123 through which the hot and cold member 130, which will be described later, can enter and exit, and the insertion hole 123 is formed. ) can be formed individually on each convex part that makes up the embossing.

At this time, each insertion hole 123 is formed in the air injection body 120 as close to the bottom of the body 110 as possible, so that the cold or warm air generated by the hot and cold member 130 inserted into the insertion hole 123 is transmitted to the user. It is desirable to ensure that it can be easily delivered to the skin, that is, to the joints.

For this purpose, the air injection body 120 may further include a plurality of through holes 125 formed in the air injection body (0) to communicate with each insertion hole 123, and the air injection body 120 is inserted into the insertion hole 123. The cold or heat from the hot and cold member 130 is dissipated in the direction of the joint J through the through hole 125, which not only relieves pain but also allows it to be used as a hot pack to maintain body temperature in the winter.

Meanwhile, the air injector 120 in the present invention varies the degree of expansion depending on the amount of air injected through the air inlet 113 to adjust the degree of pressure on the joint (J) for convenience of use. It is also possible.

In addition, the hot and cold member 130 is inserted into the above-described insertion hole 123 and radiates cold or warmth to the joint area through the air injection body 120 and the through hole 125, thereby relieving pain and relaxing muscles. It is designed to function as a hot pack during the winter.

For this purpose, as shown, the hot and cold member 130 is, for example, molded from a PVC material that does not change shape in heat or cold, but the inside is filled with a gel-type receptor to use in refrigerators, microwave ovens, etc. By using it, the receptor is inserted into the insertion hole 123 so that it can be frozen or accompanied by heat, and cold or heat is applied to the joint (J) area through the penetration hole 125, so that pain relief or muscle relaxation can be achieved. .

In addition, the fixing band 140 is made of a flexible material and is detachably attached to the attachment portion 111 so that the body 110 worn on the user's body can be fixed to the body so as to surround the joint J. do.

As described above, the compression band 100 according to the present invention is different from the conventional one in that an air layer 121 is formed between the user's skin and the body 110 due to the embossing shape, and the air layer 121 into which the hot and cold member 130 is inserted is formed. Since the injection material 120 is provided, direct contact between the skin and the body 110 does not occur, so it is expected that the wearer can be worn for a long time without damaging the skin in the joint J area.

In addition, unlike in the past, the provision of a hot and cold member 130 dissipates cold or warmth to the joint (J) area in accordance with the summer or winter season, and is used for pain relief and muscle relaxation as well as for maintaining body temperature. Effects can also be expected.

As described above, the present invention has been described with specific details such as specific components and limited embodiments and drawings, but this is provided only to facilitate a more general understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. , those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations from this description.

Therefore, the spirit of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, and the scope of the patent claims described below as well as all things that are equivalent or equivalent to the scope of this patent claim shall fall within the scope of the spirit of the present invention. .
