Description

  The present invention relates to a device for correcting wrinkles aimed at improving / preventing the balance of the body caused by skidding on the upper surface of the heel of the shoe sole when wearing shoes, and also exhibits the same effect. It relates to socks for heel correction.

When standing or walking while wearing shoes, most of the weight is supported mainly by the heel. For this purpose, it is important that the position of the heel is stable on the heel of the shoe sole. Many modern people have become accustomed to the movement of their toes that are restricted by footwear, so they do not use them much for walking. It tends to be. When the pelvis is tilted backwards and becomes stooped, both legs inevitably invert and the inner crotch feels worse, not only the function of physical movement decreases, but the internal organs are also compressed, the metabolism decreases, and various poor health Arise.

On the other hand, in walking, there is a tendency that the heel does not stabilize on the sole and shifts to the outside during walking. As shown in FIG. 1 (1) showing the state of the right foot of the human body when viewed from the rear, the human foot originally has a thick tibia of the two bones under the knee that mainly supports the weight, via the talus of the ankle joint. It is normal for the weight of the foot ribs to be applied vertically as seen from the back. However, when the talus and ribs of the heel are shifted outward from the center of gravity line, the weight is applied to the outside of the shoe sole as shown in (2) of FIG. This is why in many modern people, the outside of the shoe is reduced faster than the inside.

In this case, the two bones below the knee are inclined inwardly to become the so-called X leg, and at the same time, the toes of the foot are inevitably inverted by the abduction of the heel, and the tendency of the inner crotch is further strengthened. When walking, the triceps surae located on the back side of the leg and the so-called hamstring, which is a thick and powerful muscle, is the driving force. This places a burden on the peroneal muscle group and anterior tibialis muscle located on the front side of the legs that play the roles of “stretching” and “stopping movement”. In other words, this is a “state where the brake is applied while the accelerator is depressed”, and the exercise efficiency of the body is lowered, and naturally the balance is also lost.

To solve such a problem, it is necessary to prevent the heel from slipping and abduction on the sole, but most of the shoes on the market are not considered in this regard, especially like women's high heels. In the first place, the abduction of the heel easily occurs in shoes where the width of the heel of the shoe sole is narrow and the weight tends to hang on the toes. In fact, in many shoes, it can be seen that the toe is squeezed by the upper of the shoe while walking, whereas the outer side of the heel has a gap between it and the heel is not stable. is the current situation.

Prior art as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 4 is effective to some extent for such abduction. Since these have a structure in which a protrusion is provided on the outer side of the foot on the upper surface of the shoe sole or the upper surface of the insole, or the outer surface of the upper surface itself is made higher than the inner side, it is considered to be effective in preventing the outer rotation of the heel. . However, these prior arts are originally dedicated shoes and braces for the purpose of correcting and treating hallux valgus and knee joint diseases. Not only is it difficult to apply to many existing shoes, but in the case of insoles There is a problem in terms of cost.

A wrinkle correction device according to the present invention is a very simple and low-cost wrinkle correction device that can solve the problems of the prior art and can effectively correct and prevent the abduction of the wrinkle by applying to existing shoes, and It is an object to provide socks for correcting wrinkles.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the wrinkle correction device according to claim 1 of the present invention has a configuration in which a long convex body having a substantially bowl-shaped cross section made of silicon rubber is provided on a base material having elasticity. The top of the long convex body is held so as to press the lower part of the outer fruit surface at the lower end of the rib on the outer side surface of the rib. In addition, the wrinkle correction device according to the present invention is premised on wearing one set of left-right symmetry in principle, but only one of them may be worn as necessary.

The wrinkle correction device according to the present invention utilizes the effect of somatic reflection of the human body. The human body has a variety of reflexes, but its functions include visceral reflex (autonomic nerve reflex) that contracts visceral muscles and promotes gland secretion via the autonomic nervous system, and contracts skeletal muscles. It is roughly divided into somatic reflection. One of the typical somatic reflexes is the patella tendon reflex in which the lower leg jumps when the patella tendon is struck with a mallet. In the foot, when external stimuli are applied to the skin below the external surface of the lower end of the rib on the outer side of the heel (the part where the heel bone protrudes to the side), the heel unintentionally (inward) On the other hand, it is known to show a reflection in which the toes are abducted (open outward).

In the lower part of the external surface, the long and short radial muscle tendons intersect with the ligaments and the ganglia of the superficial peroneal nerve are located. Known as position. Reflection by external stimulation to the skin at this location causes the short peroneus muscle to contract. The short peroneus muscle stops at the fifth metatarsal bone from the lateral side of the rib via the sole, and its function is mainly the valgus of the ankle joint. Invert the heel and abduct the toes. However, the above-mentioned “points” merely indicate the position on the skin for the sake of convenience, and the wrinkle correction device according to the present invention is applied to muscles and tendons that are located directly under the point, such as acupressure and wrinkles. It does not give a strong stimulus directly. The somatic reflex, which is the principle of the present invention, is a somatic reflex in which a predetermined muscle reacts at the spinal level by a slight stimulus given to the skin, and the external stimulus given by the top of the long convex body is a foreign object on the skin. Just enough to touch.

The heel correction device according to the present invention is used by inserting the long convex body between the upper of the shoe and the upper of the shoe while wearing the shoe. At this time, if the long convex body is positioned so as to contact the lower part of the outer fruit surface, the top of the long convex body is in a state of stimulating the skin at the position of the above-mentioned “Kinmen” and “Ken-Zu”. The long convex body is provided on the base material, and in a state sandwiched between the outer side surface of the heel and the inner surface of the upper part of the shoe, the long convex body is easily walked by the friction between the base material and the inner surface of the upper part of the shoe. Is not misaligned. As a result, the long convex body always stimulates the lower part of the external surface of the skin, regardless of when standing or walking, so that the wearer unconsciously turns the foot outward and the heel turns Become. As a result, the heel is prevented from shifting outward from the upper surface of the shoe sole and the position of the heel is stabilized, so that the X leg is improved and the normal state in which the ribs, talus, and ribs are vertically aligned is maintained. The weight will be properly supported by the ribs. As a result, the pelvic tilt is also corrected, and the spinal column draws the original S-curve, improving the balance of the entire body.

In addition, with respect to muscles, the burden on the front side of the foot such as the anterior tibial muscle is reduced, and the muscles on the back side of the leg such as the triceps surae that should originally be responsible for exercise such as walking can be used correctly. This not only improves the efficiency and balance of physical exercise, but also improves blood and lymph flow by increasing the use of the calf muscle, also called the “second heart”.

In order to effectively cause the above-described physical reflection, it is necessary to hold the top of the long convex body made of silicon rubber in contact with the lower part of the outer fruit surface during wearing. Even if only the long convex body is inserted, such an effect can be expected, but the wrinkle correction according to the present invention is prevented so that the long convex body is not easily displaced in the shoe or the top contact state does not change during walking. In the orthosis, a long convex body is installed on the substrate. With this configuration, it can be stably held so that it does not deviate from a predetermined position due to the frictional force between the base material and the inner surface of the upper of the shoe, and furthermore, an adhesive that can be repeatedly applied to and peeled from the back surface of the base material is applied. Alternatively, by attaching an adhesive sheet, each time a shoe is changed, a pair of wrinkle correction devices can be diverted. In addition, it is good also as a structure integrally formed with the silicon | silicone rubber | gum instead of making a base material and a long convex body into another body like the device of Claim 2.

Next, the invention described in claim 3 is a sock having the same effect as the heel correction device of claims 1 and 2, wherein a long convex portion having a substantially hook-shaped cross section made of silicon rubber is formed on the inner surface of the heel outer portion. The top of the long convex body is configured to press the lower part of the outer fruit surface at the lower end of the rib at the time of wearing.

The wrinkle correction device separate from the shoe according to claim 1 or 2 can be applied to an existing shoe and can be easily attached / detached. However, it is necessary to insert the device every time the shoe is worn. In the case of a shoe whose upper is higher than the heel, it is difficult to insert the shoe into an appropriate position after wearing the shoe.

The sock for correcting wrinkles according to claim 3 is intended to solve such a problem, and the long convex body is pasted or sewn into an appropriate position on the inner surface of the sock in advance. With such a configuration, the same effect can be expected if the shoes are put on after wearing like normal socks, and there is no possibility of being lost when the shoes are taken off.

The heel correction device according to the present invention has a very simple structure, can be manufactured at a very low cost, is easy to carry, and has a shape in which the heel portion is wrapped in an upper. It can be applied without any processing. The application prevents and stabilizes the heel from slipping out on the shoe sole when standing or walking, so that the balance of the posture of the whole body is adjusted through correction of the X leg and inner thigh, and improvement of posterior tilt of the pelvis. It also has the effect of improving performance.

(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of the wrinkle correction device 1 according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a plan view of this device as seen from the back surface (the surface that contacts the upper of the shoe).

  In the first embodiment, the wrinkle correction device 1 has a configuration in which a long convex body 10 made of silicon rubber is sewn between base materials 11 made of two pieces of cloth, and one end of the base material 11 protrudes upward to make ears. 12 is formed. Moreover, the back surface of the base material 11 is provided with an adhesive layer (not shown) to which an adhesive that can be repeatedly applied and peeled is applied. When the heel correction device 1 is inserted into the gap between the heel outer surface and the upper of the shoe after setting the shoe, the ear 12 is slightly exposed from the upper end of the upper. Therefore, when removing the shoe, the ear 12 is removed. By pulling, the wrinkle correction device 1 can be easily peeled off from the back of the upper and removed. However, the ear 12 is not an essential component and may be omitted.

(Second embodiment)
Note that the wrinkle correction device according to the present embodiment is provided with a long convex body in order to give an external stimulus to the positions of a plurality of acupoints on the skin below the external fruit surface, but the somatic reflex has an external stimulus. Occurs when given to the proper location on the skin. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, it is good also as a structure which abuts not only a long convex body but the hemispherical silicon rubber convex body on the skin at a pinpoint.

In the case of footwear with an exposed shape that is not covered with upper leather, such as sandals, it is not possible to insert an orthodontic appliance between the heel and the inner surface of the upper. If an adhesive layer coated with an adhesive is provided on the surface in contact with the skin on the front side, it can be directly applied to the exposed skin and used. Since the somatic reflection of the skin is expressed in a state in which a foreign substance is in contact with the skin, even in this embodiment, if the application position is appropriate, the effect of turning the heel inward and inverting the toe can be expected.

  FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 3 for the wrinkle correction device 1 according to the first embodiment. In (1), a base 11 is formed by sewing a long convex body 10 between two cloths. (2) exposes the long convex body 10 from a hole provided on the surface of the fabric. (3) is obtained by integrally molding the entire long convex body 10 and the base material 11 with silicon rubber.

  Drawing 6 is a mimetic diagram of the side of a leg showing the state where wrinkle correction appliance 1 of a first embodiment was worn. The heel correction device 1 is inserted into the shoe with the surface facing the outer surface of the heel, and is set at a position where the top of the long convex body 10 comes into contact with the lower part of the outer surface of the lower end of the rib. If only the long convex body 10 is used, there is a risk of misalignment in the shoe during walking. However, since the base material 11 is widely contacted with the surface of the foot and the inner surface of the upper of the shoe and fixed by friction, it is easy. There is no misalignment.

(Third embodiment)
FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of one embodiment of the sock 2 for correcting wrinkles according to the present invention. Only the long convex body 10 is affixed to the inner surface of the fabric corresponding to the outer surface of the heel portion of the sock 2 by means of an adhesive or the like, or the fabric at the relevant location is sewn between the fabrics as a double structure. . The fixed position of the long convex body 10 is such that the top of the long convex body 10 abuts on the lower part of the external surface of the lower end of the rib when the socks are worn.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described referring drawings, this invention is not necessarily limited only to the structure mentioned above, In the range which achieves the objective of this invention and has an effect, suitably As long as they can be modified and fall within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention, they belong to the technical scope of the present invention.

The device for correcting wrinkles according to the present invention can be applied to existing shoes in daily life, and the wrinkles are naturally stabilized on the upper surface of the sole when standing up or walking, so that the inversion of the soles is corrected. Is done. Not only can it be used as a device for correcting unbalanced body postures caused by pelvic tilt, such as the X leg and inner crotch, but also improves the performance of various exercises in order to have the effect of using leg muscles efficiently for healthy people.
