Description

本発明は、指及び指の関節部に生じる痛みを緩和する指保護具に関する。 The present invention relates to a finger protector that relieves pain generated in a finger and a finger joint.

従来、リウマチ等の病に侵された人は、指等の節々に痛みが生じる等の後遺症を患っており、苦痛と共に生活しなければならないと言う問題があった。不意に指をどこかに打ち当てた際には指の関節部に痛みが生じ、後遺症よっては曲げた指を伸ばせない場合や、指が変形してしまう場合もあった。 Conventionally, a person affected by a disease such as rheumatism suffers from a sequelae such as pain in nodes such as fingers and has a problem of having to live with pain. When a finger is suddenly hit somewhere, pain occurs in the joint of the finger, and the bent finger may not be stretched or the finger may be deformed depending on the sequelae.

特開２０００−１５７５６７号公報に、指に装着する指固定具を開示するが、指の骨折または縫合治療の際に指の動作を抑制するものであり、生活する上での使い勝手が悪かった。
特開２０００−１５７５６７号公報 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-157567 discloses a finger fixing tool to be attached to a finger, but it suppresses the movement of the finger during finger fracture or suturing treatment, and is not convenient for living.

本発明は、指及び指の関節部に生じる痛みを緩和する使い勝手の良い指保護具の提供を目的とする。 An object of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-use finger protector that relieves pain generated in a finger and a finger joint.

本発明に係る指保護具は、保護部と装着部とを備え、保護部は、ワイヤー等の線部材からなり、指先から第１関節又は第２関節を越える辺りまでの指の側部に沿って有し、装着部は樹脂製からなり、保護部と指の付け根側で連設し、指の側部から腹部にまたがって形成してあるとともに、少なくとも指の第１関節部の腹部前後を切り欠いてあることを特徴とする。
また、指の動かしやすい点からは、保護部を形成する線部材の指の側部に上下方向の曲げ支点部を形成するとよい。
ここで本明細書においては、指の爪側を背とし、その反対側を指の腹部と称し、指と指との間に沿った部分を指部の側部、及び指先側を前方向と定義する。 The finger protector according to the present invention includes a protection part and a mounting part, and the protection part is made of a wire member such as a wire, and extends along the side of the finger from the fingertip to the vicinity of the first joint or the second joint. The mounting portion is made of resin, is connected to the protective portion and the base of the finger, and extends from the side of the finger to the abdomen, and at least the front and back of the abdomen of the first joint portion of the finger It is characterized by a notch.
From the viewpoint of easy movement of the finger, it is preferable to form a bending fulcrum portion in the vertical direction on the side portion of the finger of the line member forming the protection portion.
Here, in this specification, the fingernail side is the back, the opposite side is referred to as the abdomen of the finger, the part along the finger is the side of the finger, and the fingertip side is the front direction. Define.

ワイヤー等の線部材で保護部を形成することにより、保護部にて指先に当たる衝撃を緩和し、指の関節部を保護しつつ、指先の腹部と線部材とは連結していなく、指先の腹部には装着部も無いので、指先の腹部を使って物に直接触ることができ、生活する上での使い勝手が良い。
また、樹脂製の装着部が指にフィットすることにより、指への装着状態を保持することができ、指の付け根で指の上下運動ができる。
特に、指の第１関節部に位置する近傍の装着部を切り欠くことで、指の動きの自由度が高い。 By forming the protective part with a wire member such as a wire, the shock applied to the fingertip is mitigated by the protective part, and the fingertip abdomen and the wire member are not connected while protecting the finger joint part. Since there is no mounting part, you can use the abdomen of your fingertips to make direct contact with things, which is convenient for daily life.
Moreover, when the resin mounting part fits the finger, the mounting state on the finger can be maintained, and the finger can move up and down at the base of the finger.
In particular, the degree of freedom of movement of the finger is high by notching the nearby mounting portion located at the first joint portion of the finger.

また、第１関節の腹部側の前後（指先側及び指の付け根側）には装着部を形成していない。
装着部１２は弾性を有しているのが良く、弾性樹脂又は形状記憶樹脂等が例として挙げることができる。
図１に示したように、腹部装着部１２ａの一部を切り欠いておくのがよく、指が蒸れることを防ぎ、違和感なく装着したまま生活することができる。
また、保護部１１と装着部１２とで指の変形を抑止することができる。
指の関節部に生じる痛みが強い場合には、指の腹部側を装着部１２で覆うのも良い、この際には通気用の孔を備えておくのが良い。 FIG. 1 shows a finger protector 10 according to the present invention, in which (a) is a side view and (b) is a perspective view.
The finger 40 is indicated by an imaginary line.
This finger protector 10 has a protection part 11 and a mounting part 12, and is particularly effective in relieving pain that occurs in the first joint 40b.
The protection part 11 is formed with a wire member such as a wire from the fingertip 40a to the vicinity of the first joint 40b along the side of the finger.
In order to prevent the fingertip 40a from being detached from the protective portion 11 during the vertical movement at the base 40d of the finger, the protective portion 11 and the fingertip 40a are preferably in contact with each other.
The protection unit 11 includes an abdomen protection unit 11a along the abdomen of the finger around the first joint 40b.
The wire member is preferably strong enough to mitigate the impact, and a metal wire or the like can be given as an example.
The mounting portion 12 of the finger protection unit 10 is provided from the second joint 40c to the middle portion of the finger base 40d along the side of the finger and along the abdomen on the base of the finger. The part 11 is connected from both sides.
The part along the abdominal part on the base side of the finger in the mounting part 12 is referred to as an abdominal part mounting part 12a.
Moreover, the mounting part is not formed in front and back (fingertip side and finger base side) of the abdomen side of the first joint.
The mounting portion 12 preferably has elasticity, and examples thereof include an elastic resin or a shape memory resin.
As shown in FIG. 1, it is preferable to cut out a part of the abdomen attachment part 12a, so that the finger can be prevented from being steamed, and the user can live without wearing a sense of incongruity.
Further, the deformation of the finger can be suppressed by the protection unit 11 and the mounting unit 12.
When the pain generated in the finger joint is strong, the abdomen side of the finger may be covered with the mounting portion 12, and in this case, a ventilation hole may be provided.

図２に本発明に係る他の実施例として指保護具２０を示し、（イ）は側面図であり、（ロ）は斜視図である。

また、この実施例の場合には第１関節４０ｂ辺りと第２関節４０ｃ辺りとの間の装着部２２を切り欠き、切り欠き部のワイヤーに上下方向に曲げることが可能な曲げ支点部２３を形成すると、図２にＶで示すように指が曲げやすくなるとともに、指を伸ばす際のサポートとなる。 FIG. 2 shows a finger protector 20 as another embodiment according to the present invention, in which (a) is a side view and (b) is a perspective view.
This finger protector 20 has a protective part 21 and a mounting part 22, and is particularly effective in relieving pain that occurs in the entire finger.
In the case of this embodiment, the protective part 21 is formed by a line member along the side part of the finger from the fingertip 40a to not only the first joint but also the area beyond the second joint 40b.
Also in this case, the protection part 21 includes an abdomen protection part 21a that curves toward the abdomen of the finger around the first joint 40b.
The mounting part 22 is connected to the protection part 21 and is provided along the abdomen of the finger from the second joint 40c to the middle of the base 40d of the finger.
As shown in FIG. 2, if the abdomen attachment part 22a is also provided with a line member as the abdomen protection part 21a, the protection range for relieving pain in the fingers can be expanded, and the person can live more safely. .
In the case of this embodiment, the mounting portion 22 between the first joint 40b and the second joint 40c is cut out, and a bending fulcrum portion 23 that can be bent vertically in the wire of the cutout portion is provided. When formed, the finger becomes easy to bend as indicated by V in FIG. 2, and it becomes a support when the finger is extended.

また、保護部３１をワイヤー線で形成したことにより、例えば図３に示すように、保護部３１の先を指４０の指先４０ａ形状に合わせて曲げ調節できる。
このように保護部３１をワイヤー線で形成したことにより、女性、男性、指の太い人、指の細い人等を問わず、人差し指や中指等の装着する指が異なっても、それぞれの指４０のサイズや大きさに合わせて調節できる。 Moreover, by forming the protection part 31 with a wire, for example, as shown in FIG.
Thus, by forming the protection part 31 with a wire, regardless of whether a finger is worn, such as a forefinger or a middle finger, regardless of whether it is a woman, a man, a person with a thick finger, a person with a thin finger, etc., each finger 40 It can be adjusted according to the size and size.
