Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of toe correction, in particular to a comfortable hallux valgus corrector. Background Art

[0002] At present, due to people's non-standard shoe wearing, ill-fitting shoes or other reasons, toe deformities, inward turning deformities, etc. occur. Especially for women who wear high heels for a long time, the big toe of the foot will deflect towards the toe adjacent to the big toe, resulting in deformity of the big toe of the foot and affecting the beauty of the foot.

[0003] Although there are many correctors for the above problems existing currently, the existing correctors are not convenient and comfortable to use. For example, a detachable toe corrector with the publication number CN214342832U and the publication date of October 8, 2021 discloses "a detachable toe corrector, including a main bracket, a main bandage is arranged on the main bracket for tying the main bracket on the arch of the foot; a sub-bracket is rotatably arranged on the main bracket; a sub-bandage is arranged on the sub-bracket for tying the sub-bracket on the big toe; a rotating column is arranged on the main bracket, and an elastic clip is arranged on the sub-bracket; by clamping the elastic clip on the rotating column, the main bracket and the sub-bracket are connected. Through the clamping and rotating form of the sub-bracket and the main bracket of the present utility model, the sub-bracket can be easily removed from the main bracket, so that the replacement of the sub-bracket becomes easy, and different sub-brackets with different offset angles can be replaced during use to adapt to toes with different degrees of deformity."

[0004] The above corrector needs to adjust the angle of the corrector by disassembling the sub-bracket, which is not convenient to use, and there is also the trouble of losing multiple sub-brackets. In addition, the existing ones directly use an airbag to abut against the foot support point without setting a good buffer structure such as a spring. Users will feel rigid and have poor fit during the correction process, resulting in poor comfort, and even feel pain after long-term use by users. Summary of the Invention

[0020] (3) The moving rod can move up and down along the slide rail and can also drive the adjusting member (9) to rotate through the moving rod. The user can adjust the distance between the support member and the main bracket by rotating the support member, so as to meet the correction needs of different users.

[0021] (4) Through the design of the spring component of the corrector, during the process of walking while wearing the corrector, not only can the fit between the support member and the foot be better, but also through the telescopic action of the spring, the user can repeatedly perform the effect of traction correction on the toes during the walking process.

[0022] (5) A tower-shaped spring is adopted. The tower-shaped spring can be compressed to a greater extent compared with other springs, so it has a larger adjustment space and also has a greater elastic force. Adopting the tower-shaped spring and providing a spring groove at the bottom of the tower-shaped spring can ensure that the structure in contact with and connected to the spring is more compact and stable, and can make the fit between the support member and the user's foot better.

[0023] (6) The main bracket can rotate 360 degrees horizontally relative to the auxiliary bracket connected above the connecting member. The rotation angle is large and the structure is more flexible. During the walking process of the user, the main bracket and the auxiliary bracket can rotate horizontally at will, so that the comfort of the user during the walking process after wearing the corrector is better.

[0031] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments: Embodiment

[0032] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a comfortable hallux valgus corrector includes a main bracket 1 located on the inner side of the user's foot during use and an auxiliary bracket 2 connected to the main bracket 1. After the user wears it, the auxiliary bracket is located on the side of the user's thumb. It also includes straps 3 provided on the main bracket 1 and the auxiliary bracket 2. The straps 3 are used to fix the above-mentioned main bracket and auxiliary bracket on the user's foot. The main bracket 1 is connected to the auxiliary bracket 2 through a connecting member 4. A support member 5 is provided below the main bracket 1. After the user wears it, the support member 5 is located on the side of the user's foot, at a position slightly below the big toe, and with the support member 5 as a fulcrum, the inwardly deviated big toe is rotated outward through the auxiliary bracket to achieve the correction of the position of the big toe; in order to enable the hallux valgus corrector to adapt to people with different degrees of toe deformation, the support member 5 is arranged to be movable up and down relative to the main bracket 1 to change the distance between the two. In addition, in order to improve the wearing comfort and the user experience, a spring 6 is provided between the support member 5 and the main bracket 1. The spring 6 can achieve a very good buffering effect. Compared with the existing hallux valgus corrector without the spring 6, it can make the user feel that the support member 5 is not so rigid and uncomfortable to wear after wearing. Even if worn for a long time, the user will not feel discomfort. During the use of the corrector by the user, since the support member 5 contacts the foot and will bear a very large pressure, it is very necessary to provide a spring 6 with a buffering function on the support member 5.

[0033] As Figure 1 、 4 、5 and Figure 6As shown, a threaded hole 7 is provided at the center of the connecting member 4. The threaded hole 7 cooperates with the adjusting member 9 having a thread 8 at the top, so as to realize the up and down movement of the adjusting member 9 inside the connecting member 4. The inside of the adjusting member 9 is a hollow structure. The inside of the adjusting member 9 is movably connected with the moving rod 10, and the moving rod 10 can also move up and down inside the adjusting member 9. The moving rod 10 is columnar and is fixedly connected to the center of the support member 5 by screws; the top of the above-mentioned moving rod 10 is provided with a limiting block 11 that is centrosymmetric and extends fan-shaped outward. The shape of the limiting block 11 matches the shape of the sliding rail 12 at the center of the adjusting member 9, so as to ensure that the above-mentioned moving rod 10 can move up and down along the above-mentioned sliding rail 12 and can also drive the adjusting member 9 to rotate through the above-mentioned moving rod 10. When the user needs to adjust the distance between the support member 5 and the main bracket 1, the support member 5 can be driven to rotate the moving rod 10 fixedly connected to the support member 5. During the rotation of the moving rod 10, the adjusting member 9 is driven to rotate through the limiting block 11. During the rotation of the adjusting member 9, it moves up and down inside the connecting member 4 through the thread 8 at its top, so as to finally realize the adjustment of the distance between the support member 5 and the main bracket 1. The user can adjust the distance between the two according to his own acceptance degree; the spring 6 is located on the moving rod 10 between the adjusting member 9 and the support member 5. When the support member 5 is stressed, it will move into the inside of the adjusting member 9 through the moving rod 10. When the support member 5 is not stressed, it will return to its original state downward under the restoring force of the spring 6.

[0034] The above-mentioned spring 6 adopts a tower-shaped spring that increases from top to bottom. The top of the spring 6 contacts the adjusting member 9, and the bottom of the spring 6 is located inside the spring groove 13 provided on the support member 5; adopting a tower-shaped spring and providing a spring groove 13 at the bottom of the spring 6 can ensure that the structures in contact with and connected to the spring 6 are more compact and stable, and can also make the fit between the support member 5 and the user's foot better. The bottom of the above-mentioned adjusting member 9 is provided with a limiting part to prevent the moving rod 10 from falling off downward. The limiting part only needs to block the sliding rail 12 to prevent the moving rod 10 from falling off downward.

[0035] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the main bracket 1 includes a first main bracket 14 and a second main bracket 15. The first main bracket 14 and the second main bracket 15 are connected to the connecting member 4 through an annular flange 16 extending outward from the bottom of the connecting member 4. The above-mentioned annular flange 16 is located in the limiting groove 17 formed by the combination of the first main bracket 14 and the second main bracket 15. The above-mentioned connection method does not completely fix the main bracket 1 and the connecting member 4, but enables the main bracket 1 to rotate relative to the connecting member 4. The movable connection structure is more flexible and changeable, which is beneficial to the use of users of different groups.

[0036] In addition, the auxiliary bracket 2 can rotate relative to the connecting member 4, which is specifically achieved through the following structure: the top of the connecting member 4 is hemispherical, and the connecting member 4 is symmetrically provided with a plurality of slots 18 arranged up and down, and the left and right sides of the connecting member 4 are provided with connecting holes 19, and the above-mentioned connecting holes 19 are movably connected with the connecting columns 20 provided on the auxiliary bracket 2 to realize the longitudinal rotation of the auxiliary bracket 2, and a hemispherical ball cover 21 is provided at one end of the auxiliary bracket 2, and a protrusion 22 that cooperates with the slot 18 is provided inside the ball cover 21; in actual use, the user only needs to move the auxiliary bracket 2 by hand to allow the protrusion 22 to be inserted into the slot 18 at different positions, thereby realizing the auxiliary bracket 2. The change in the angle of the bracket 2 relative to the main bracket 1 can adapt to people with different degrees of toe deformation so as to perform more appropriate correction. Compared with the existing sub-bracket 2 that can be detached and replaced at different angles, it is more convenient. When the sub-bracket 2 is rotated to a position parallel to the main bracket 1, the highest point of the bottom surface 31 on the sub-bracket 2 is at the same level as the circular bottom surface 30 of the main bracket 1; due to the presence of the spring 6, the height of the circular bottom surface 30 of the sub-bracket 2 is lowered relative to the existing sub-bracket 2, so that it can better fit the user's foot, among which lowering the height to be at the same level as the circular bottom surface 30 of the main bracket 1 has the best effect.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a square steel ring 23 is symmetrically fixed between the first main bracket 14 and the second main bracket 15, the steel ring 23 is connected to the strap 3, the ends of the strap 3 are adhered to each other by Velcro 24, a through slot 25 is provided on the auxiliary bracket 2, the strap 3 is connected to the through slot 25, the user can easily and quickly wear the corrector through the Velcro on the strap 3, a support pad 26 is provided on one side of the second main bracket 15, the support pad 26 can make the user more comfortable after wearing, the first main bracket 14 is provided with a curved groove 28 with mirror symmetry on the left and right, the curved groove 28 makes the product more beautiful and lightweight, the auxiliary bracket 2 is provided with a curved bottom surface 31, making the user more comfortable to wear. Example

[0038] like Figure 7 As shown, compared with Example 1, the adjusting member 9 in Example 1 is directly fixed inside the connecting member 4 through reinforcing ribs and the threaded connection between the two is eliminated. At this time, the two can be regarded as a whole, and only the slide rail 12 is set in the middle part of the connecting member 4 to cooperate with the limit block 11, eliminating the function of adjusting by rotation in Example 1, making the structure simpler and more stable.

[0039] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
