[0002] Toe deformities seriously affect daily life and appearance, especially hallux valgus. Hallux valgus is a common bone deformity in which the big toe of the first toe joint is displaced outward, and is one of the most common foot deformities.

[0003] Existing hallux valgus correctors include two types: those fixed on the foot and those fixed on the insole. The former is tied to the foot with a strap to pull the big toe outward, or is put on the toe with a ring to squeeze the big toe to achieve the purpose of correction. This type of corrector that pulls outward is not suitable for wearing in shoes because it protrudes on the side of the foot, and it is a great hindrance to daily activities; the ring-type corrector will excessively squeeze other toes, which may easily cause deformation of other toes, and is easily restricted by the toe seam. The correction strength is insufficient and the effect is not good. The latter is fixed on the insole with a stopper or a limiter, and the limiter is placed between the big toe and the second toe. Since the insole is soft, it has similar shortcomings to the ring-type corrector. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figure 1As shown, the utility model provides a toe corrector, comprising: a limiting portion 10 placed in the toe gap, a fixing portion 20 that rigidly fixes the limiting portion 10, the fixing portion 20 is fixed on the insole by clamping itself, and the matching surface between the fixing portion 20 and the insole is a plane extending to both sides.

[0024] The toe corrector provided by the utility model has a matching surface of the fixing part 20 and the insole as a plane extending to both sides, so that the fixing part 20 will not be deformed and offset along with the soft insole, thereby making the limiting part 10 relatively stable. When the limiting part 10 is located in the toe gap, the toe that needs to be corrected, such as hallux valgus, can be squeezed to one side, which is not easy to cause deformation of other toes, and the correction strength is high, and it has a high correction effect. Since it is clamped and fixed on the insole by the fixing part 20, the fixing part 20 can be located at the bottom of the toe joint and can be worn in the shoe, which has little hindrance to daily activities.

[0025] In this embodiment, the fixing portion 20 is in the shape of a U-shaped clip structure, which clamps the insole. At the same time, the volume of the structure protruding outside is very small, and the overall structure can be made relatively flat, reducing the foreign body sensation on the foot.

[0026] In this embodiment, a latch tooth 201 is provided on one side of the fixing portion 20, and a guide hole 103 and an elastic latch 104 are provided on the limiting portion 10. A portion of the fixing portion 20 of the U-shaped clip structure is passed through the guide hole 103, and the elastic latch 104 is naturally engaged with the latch tooth 201.

[0027] Specifically, the fixing portion 20 of the U-shaped clip structure has a serrated latch on one side. The elastic latch 104 is pressed by hand to close to the limiting member, and the limiting member moves along the latch through the guide hole 103. When the limiting member moves to a suitable position and has sufficient correction strength for the target toe, the elastic latch 104 is released to fix the limiting member on the fixing portion 20.

[0028] In this embodiment, the limiting portion 10 includes a base 102 and a vertical plate 101. The guide hole 103 and the elastic clip 104 are arranged on the base 102. The wider base 102 has a larger mating surface with the fixing portion 20, which improves the stability of the limiting portion 10.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] like Figure 2As shown, the utility model provides a toe corrector, comprising: a limiting portion 10 placed in the toe gap, a fixing portion 20 that rigidly fixes the limiting portion 10, the fixing portion 20 is in the shape of an elongated strip, and a double-sided adhesive tape 30 is provided at the bottom, the fixing portion 20 is bonded to the insole through the double-sided adhesive tape 30, the elongated fixing portion 20 can provide a stable supporting effect, and through its own rigidity, it is not easy to deform and shift with the insole, so that the limiting portion 10 is relatively stable, and when the limiting portion 10 is located in the toe gap, the toe that needs to be corrected, such as the hallux valgus, can be squeezed to one side, and it is not easy to cause deformation of other toes, and the correction strength is high, and it has a high correction effect. Since the fixing portion 20 is in the shape of an elongated strip, the fixing portion 20 can be located at the bottom of the toe joint and can be worn in a shoe, which has little hindrance to daily activities.

[0031] In this embodiment, a slot 202 is provided at the top of the fixing portion 20, a second latching tooth 203 is provided on the side wall of the slot 202, and the limiting portion 10 is embedded and slidably connected with the slot 202 and meshed with the second latching tooth 203. In this way, the embedded and slidably connected between the limiting portion 10 and the slot 202 can limit the limiting portion 10 from swinging and deviating, and the engagement between the limiting portion 10 and the second latching tooth 203 can prevent the limiting portion 10 from moving along the slot 202, so that the limiting portion 10 and the fixing portion 20 can be fixed together without screws or adhesive.

[0032] Furthermore, the single tooth structure of the second latch tooth 203 is a right triangle, so that the limiting part 10 can be unidirectionally moved and adjusted along the second latch tooth 203, and the slot 202 is a through slot, so that the limiting part 10 can enter from one end of the slot 202 and exit from the other end, and the limiting part 10 can be moved to a suitable position to correct the target toe.

[0033] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cross-section of the card slot 202 is convex-shaped. The limiting portion 10 includes a T-shaped piece 105, a vertical plate piece 101 fixed to the top of the T-shaped piece 105, and a clip-type card piece 106 fixed to the side of the T-shaped piece 105. The T-shaped piece 105 is embedded and slidably connected with the card slot 202, and the clip-type card piece 106 is engaged with the second card tooth 203. In this way, when a force is applied to one side of the limiting piece, the clip-type card piece 106 is squeezed to the middle and can move along the card slot 202. Without applying a force, the clip-type card piece 106 recovers under the action of its own elastic force and engages with the second card tooth 203 to fix the limiting piece at a certain position of the fixing portion 20.
