Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a toe corrector. Background Art

[0002] Hallux valgus is a common disease. In addition to its unsightly appearance, difficulty in choosing shoes, and easy damage to the shoe shape, it also causes discomfort to people, the most common of which is soreness. In order to correct hallux valgus, many toe correctors are available on the market. A common example is a toe corrector provided by Patent No. 202322149516.X. This type of toe corrector can maintain the correction state with the support of the sole of the foot, and the correction effect is good. However, this type of corrector on the market is currently mostly used at night when sleeping or at home. The main reason is that its adjustment parts mostly use knobs, and the adjustment knobs are large in size. When the corrector is in use, the adjustment knobs protrude from the sides of the sole of the foot, resulting in the problem of being unable to put on shoes when wearing the corrector. Therefore, it can only be used when sleeping or at home, with a short usage time or inconvenience. For this reason, the utility model provides a toe corrector with a small adjustment part that does not affect wearing shoes, which can solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0037] In one embodiment, the sole binding 11 is a strap, one end of which is fixed to one side of the palm rest 1. The other end passes through the strip opening in the side guard 12 and then loops around. It is then secured to the main body of the strap with Velcro, making it easy to wear. In addition, to improve breathability, in other embodiments, the palm rest 1 is provided with ventilation holes 13.

[0038] The fingertip 2 is arranged on a side of the palm rest 1 provided with a side guard plate 12 and is movably connected to an end of the palm rest 1 facing the user's toes, so that it can swing to different angles corresponding to different angles of the toes.

[0039] One end of the adjustment strap 3 is a fixed end 31, and the other end is an adjustment end 32. During use, the fixed section and the finger cuff 2 are relatively fixed, and the adjustment strap 3 extends along the outside of the side guard 12 to the strip-shaped perforations 121. The adjustment end 32 passes through the two strip-shaped perforations in sequence and then curves back to the fixed end 31. A simple adjustment structure is provided between the adjustment end 32 and the side guard 12, or between the adjustment end 32 and the middle portion of the adjustment strap 3. The adjustment strap 3 is tightened or loosened by the simple adjustment structure, and the finger cuff 2 is adjusted relative to the palm rest 1 by tightening or loosening the adjustment strap 3, thereby bending the toes of the wearer of the finger cuff 2 inward to correct the toe valgus condition.

[0040] Preferably, the simple adjustment structure adopts an adjustable and simple structure such as a buckle 14, a pin buckle, a button or a Velcro. In one embodiment, the simple adjustment structure includes a buckle 14 and an adjustment hole 33. The buckle 14 is arranged between the two shaped perforations 121 and is arranged on the outward side of the side guard plate 12. There are a plurality of adjustment holes 33, which are evenly arranged along the adjustment end 32 of the adjustment belt 3. The adjustment end 32 passes through the two shaped perforations 121 in sequence and then makes a detour. The buckle 14 is inserted into any adjustment hole 33. When in use, after maintaining the position of one adjustment hole 33 for a period of time or achieving the adjustment effect, the adjustment belt 3 can be further tightened and the next adjustment hole 33 can be used until the last adjustment hole 33 is used.

[0041] On the basis of the above embodiment, in another embodiment, in order to improve the locking effect, the end of the buckle 14 is provided with an undercut, and the end of the buckle 14 is divided into at least two parts to form an elastic undercut.
