Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve problems in the conventional correction aids, for example, accidental deviation of a band with the stretching or contracting of muscles or covering of condition by a supporter too much to check, eventually inducing a rash by sweating or the like with worsened breathing by mounting both ends of a bar-like resilient member inside a circular resilient member and applying the work on an elbow to correct it suffering from habitual bending due to disorder or the like. <P>SOLUTION: Both the ends of the bar-like resilient member are mounted inside the circular resilient member. The work is applied on the elbow with the circular resilient member inside it and the bar-like resilient member outside it. This makes the bar-like resilient member support the circular resilient member firmly in place outside the elbow. As a result, resilient force of the circular resilient member and the bar-like resilient member combine to stretch the elbow thereby developing an effect for the straightening of its habitual bending. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

本発明は障害などで曲がり癖のある肘を矯正して伸ばす補助具に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an auxiliary device for correcting and extending an elbow with a bending heel due to a disorder or the like.

従来の矯正補助具には、関節部分の上下にバンドを装着して、その間に弾性部材を取り付けたものである（例えば特許文献１参照）。
また、サポータに弾性部材を取り付けたものもある（例えば特許文献２参照）。 A conventional correction assisting tool is one in which bands are attached to the top and bottom of a joint part, and an elastic member is attached therebetween (for example, see Patent Document 1).
Some supporters have elastic members attached (for example, see Patent Document 2).

以下、図７、図８により従来の矯正補助具について説明する。   Hereinafter, a conventional correction assisting tool will be described with reference to FIGS.

上記に述べた特許文献１の矯正補助具では、膝の上下にバンドを設け、その間に弾性部材を取り付けるもので、弾性部材の伸縮によって歩行を補うものだが、バンドがズレないようにするには、そうとう締め付けなければならない。
そうなると、バンドによってうっ血する恐れがあると考えられる。 In the correction assisting tool of Patent Document 1 described above, bands are provided above and below the knee and an elastic member is attached between them. The elastic member expands and contracts to compensate for walking, but to prevent the band from shifting. And finally tighten it.
If that happens, there is a risk of blood congestion by the band.

また、バンドを装着した足の筋肉は力を入れたり、ゆるめたりして伸縮するもので、バンドがズレて補助具の機能は果たさなくなる。したがって、その度に補助具の調整を行う必要があると考えられる。   In addition, the muscles of the legs wearing the band expand and contract by applying force or loosening the band, and the function of the assistive device can no longer be fulfilled because the band is displaced. Therefore, it is considered necessary to adjust the auxiliary tool each time.

上記に述べた特許文献２の矯正補助具では、バネ材をサポータに設けるもので、バネ材でサポータが破れて突き出てしまう恐れがある。  In the correction assisting tool of Patent Document 2 described above, the spring material is provided on the supporter, and the supporter may be broken and protruded by the spring material.

また、サポータは矯正している肘を覆い隠して状態が把握できない。さらに、通気性が悪いと汗でカブレる恐れがある。  Moreover, the supporter cannot cover the elbow that is being corrected and cannot grasp the state. Furthermore, if the air permeability is poor, there is a risk of fogging with sweat.

本発明は、このような従来の構成が有していた問題を解決しようとするものであり、締め付け、うっ血、ズレ、破れ、状態が把握できないことを改善するものである。  The present invention is intended to solve the problems of such a conventional configuration, and it is intended to improve that tightening, congestion, displacement, tearing, and state cannot be grasped.

本発明は上記目的を達成するために、棒状の弾性部材の両端を円状の弾性部材の内側に取り付けて、肘に装着することを特徴としたものである。   In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized in that both ends of a rod-like elastic member are attached to the inside of a circular elastic member and attached to an elbow.

課題解決手段による作用は、円状の弾性部材を肘の内側につける。その円状の弾性部材を曲げると、元に戻ろうとする力が働く。また、円状の弾性部材を棒状の弾性部材が肘の外側で支えて外れない伸縮力になる。よって、円状と棒状の弾性部材の元の形に戻る力が肘を伸ばすこととなり、曲がり癖の矯正を行う効果を発揮するものである。   The action by the problem solving means attaches a circular elastic member to the inside of the elbow. When the circular elastic member is bent, a force for returning to the original force is applied. In addition, the elastic member becomes a stretching force that the rod-like elastic member supports the circular elastic member on the outside of the elbow and does not come off. Therefore, the force of returning to the original shape of the circular and rod-like elastic members stretches the elbow, and exhibits the effect of correcting the bending wrinkles.

本発明は全体の構造が弾性部材でできているので、肘に力が入ったり、ゆるめたりして筋肉の伸縮でもズレない。   In the present invention, since the entire structure is made of an elastic member, a force is applied to the elbow or the elbow is loosened so that the muscle does not expand or contract.

また、本発明は衣服の上側でも下側でも装着することができるので、うっ血を防ぐことができる。  In addition, since the present invention can be worn on either the upper side or the lower side of clothes, congestion can be prevented.

そして、本発明は矯正している部分を覆い隠すこともないので、通気性が良くカブレの抑制ができる。また肘の状態が把握しやすいものであり、取り外しが容易である。  And since this invention does not cover the part which is correct | amending, air permeability is good and it can suppress fogging. Moreover, the state of the elbow is easy to grasp, and it is easy to remove.

上述したように本発明は弾性部材から形成されているので、装着時は容易に取り付けることができる。また、棒状の弾性部材はリングにより円状の弾性部材と連結されて可動式であるので、曲がっている肘に装着する場合でも肘に合わせて装着することができるものである。  As described above, since the present invention is formed of an elastic member, it can be easily attached at the time of mounting. Further, since the rod-like elastic member is movable by being connected to the circular elastic member by a ring, it can be attached to the elbow even when it is attached to a bent elbow.

また、本発明は円状および棒状の弾性部材の伸縮力により、無意識に肘の曲がり癖を矯正することができるものである。
すなわち、弾性部材の元に戻る力が曲がっている肘を伸ばすことになり自然と矯正するものである。 In addition, the present invention can unintentionally correct elbow bending wrinkles by the elastic force of circular and rod-like elastic members.
That is, the force to return to the elastic member stretches the bent elbow and corrects naturally.

そして、棒状の弾性部材が肘の上側または下側のどちらかに寄ったとしても、円状の弾性部材が肘の内側を中心として装着している限りは矯正を行っているものである。  And even if the rod-like elastic member approaches either the upper side or the lower side of the elbow, as long as the circular elastic member is mounted around the inner side of the elbow, correction is performed.

肘の動きでズレることがなく、サポータのように矯正部分を覆い隠して状態が把握できないことやカブレることもない。  There is no displacement due to the movement of the elbows, and the situation cannot be grasped or blurred by covering the correction part like a supporter.

衣類の上側でも下側でも装着ができるので、目立たず矯正することができる。  Since it can be worn on the top or bottom of clothing, it can be corrected without noticeable.

以下、本発明の形態を図１、図２、図３、図４に基づいて説明する。  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4.

図１において、円状の弾性部材ａは肘の内側に来るようにする。そして棒状の弾性部材ｂと棒状の弾性部材ｃは肘の外側に来るように装着する。   In FIG. 1, the circular elastic member a is placed inside the elbow. The rod-like elastic member b and the rod-like elastic member c are mounted so as to be outside the elbow.

棒状の弾性部材ｂと棒状の弾性部材ｃを肘の上側と下側に分けて取り付ける。
このとき、棒状の弾性部材ｂおよび棒状の弾性部材ｃは、上側または下側の取り付けの指定はない。 The rod-like elastic member b and the rod-like elastic member c are attached separately on the upper side and the lower side of the elbow.
At this time, the attachment of the upper side or the lower side is not specified for the rod-like elastic member b and the rod-like elastic member c.

棒状の弾性部材ｂおよび棒状の弾性部材ｃはリングｄで円状の弾性部材ａと連結されているが、リングｄは可動式なので、取り付けるときは円状の弾性部材ａ上なら動くようになっている。  The rod-like elastic member b and the rod-like elastic member c are connected to the circular elastic member a by a ring d. However, since the ring d is movable, when attached, the rod-like elastic member b moves on the circular elastic member a. ing.

図２、図３、図４は、本発明の矯正補助具を示す。
本発明は円状の弾性部材ａ、棒状の弾性部材ｂおよび棒状の弾性部材ｃから形成されているので、曲がっている肘に装着する場合でも肘に合わせて調節しながら装着することができる。 2, 3 and 4 show the correction assisting tool of the present invention.
Since the present invention is formed of the circular elastic member a, the rod-shaped elastic member b, and the rod-shaped elastic member c, even when mounting on a bent elbow, it can be mounted while adjusting to the elbow.

本発明の取り付けの一実施例として、図５、図６に基づいて説明する。  An embodiment of the attachment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

肘の上側と下側に棒状の弾性部材ｂと棒状の弾性部材ｃを別々に装着すると、外れないようにする伸縮力が両側にかかるので、図５は肘の上側へ、図６は肘の下側に棒状の弾性部材ｂと棒状の弾性部材ｃをいっしょに取り付けることで、肘の外側で支える伸縮力を和らげる形態となる。  When the rod-like elastic member b and the rod-like elastic member c are separately attached to the upper and lower sides of the elbow, the stretching force is applied to both sides so that it does not come off. By attaching the rod-shaped elastic member b and the rod-shaped elastic member c together on the lower side, the stretching force supported on the outside of the elbow is reduced.

または棒状の弾性部材ｂか棒状の弾性部材ｃをどちらかひとつにして、肘の上側か下側に取り付けてもよい。  Alternatively, either one of the rod-like elastic member b or the rod-like elastic member c may be attached to the upper side or the lower side of the elbow.

円状の弾性部材ａと棒状の弾性部材ｂおよび棒状の弾性部材ｃなどの伸縮を妨げないように保護部材で覆うものでもよい。そうすることによって、地肌に直接装着しても皮膚などを傷めず、また、金属アレルギーなどを防止する形態にもなる。  The circular elastic member a, the rod-like elastic member b, the rod-like elastic member c, and the like may be covered with a protective member so as not to prevent expansion and contraction. By doing so, even if it is directly attached to the ground, the skin and the like are not damaged, and a form of preventing metal allergy and the like is also achieved.

また、リングｄは棒状の弾性部材ｂおよび棒状の弾性部材ｃと一体になっている形態でもよい。  The ring d may be integrated with the rod-like elastic member b and the rod-like elastic member c.

円状の弾性部材ａ、棒状の弾性部材ｂおよび棒状の弾性部材ｃとリングｄの接続部分が異種金属の場合、電解腐食により錆びてしまうので、同じ金属で作るか、異種金属の間へ保護部材を挟んで電解腐食を回避すると錆びないのでより良い形態となる。  If the connecting portion between the circular elastic member a, the rod-shaped elastic member b, and the rod-shaped elastic member c and the ring d is made of a different metal, it will rust due to electrolytic corrosion. If electrolytic corrosion is avoided by sandwiching the member, it does not rust, so a better form is obtained.
