[0020] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 4 This utility model will be described in detail.
[0021] This utility model relates to an adjustable toe protector, comprising a corrective strap 2, the corrective strap 2 having at least a first fabric layer 21, and an adjustment component 1; the adjustment component 1 has a limiting position 11 for the corrective strap 2 to pass through; one end of the corrective strap 2 is connected to the adjustment component 1, and the other end extends out of the limiting position 11; the corrective strap 2 and the adjustment component 1 cooperate to form a wearing space 3 for wearing the toes; the outer surface of the end of the corrective strap 2 extending out of the limiting position 11 is provided with at least a hook and loop fastener 4; the outer surface of the corrective strap 2 is also provided with a hook and loop fastener 5 that cooperates with the hook and loop fastener 4. The hook and loop fastener 5 may be a built-in loop layer of the corrective strap 2.
[0022] Compared to traditional toe protectors, this invention features an adjustable component 1, making the toe correction space adjustable, thus enhancing its applicability and suitability for a wider range of users. Simultaneously, the correction band 2 is positioned using Velcro, making it more convenient to use. The correction force of the correction band 2 is adjustable, providing a better user experience and meeting more user needs. Furthermore, the overall protective sleeve has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost. The correction band 2 can be single-color or multi-color.
[0023] In this technical solution, the first fabric layer 21 is made of breathable elastic fabric. Orthodontic bands 2 made of this material facilitate heat dissipation from within the band, keeping the skin surface cool and reducing the likelihood of allergic reactions. The breathable fabric can be nylon, linen, or similar materials.
[0024] As one embodiment, an elastic layer 6 is provided on the inner surface of the first fabric layer 21. The elastic layer 6 is an elastic silicone layer or a soft plastic elastomer. The elastic layer 6 is soft and has good tensile properties. After adding the elastic layer 6 to the inner wall of the first fabric layer 21, the tensile properties of the overall corrective belt 2 are further improved, the corrective belt 2 is not easy to be strained, and the elastic layer 6 fits the human skin more comfortably.
[0025] Preferably, the elastic layer 6 has a plurality of vent holes 61 evenly distributed thereon. The vent holes 61 work together with the breathable elastic fabric to enhance the heat dissipation performance of the overall protective cover. The vent holes 61 extend to the inner side of the first fabric layer 21 or penetrate the entire first fabric layer 21.
[0026] When the wearing space 3 is used to correct multiple toes at the same time, the protective cover also includes a separator 7. The separator 7 is installed in the wearing space 3 and separates two adjacent toes so that each toe can get an independent correction space. At the same time, the separator 7 has a recess 71 on both sides. The recess 71 is adapted to the human toe and plays a role in positioning the toe after fitting the human foot.
[0027] Preferably, the separator 7 is detachably connected to the wearing space 3, allowing users to install the separator 7 according to their actual needs, thus increasing its applicability.
[0028] In this technical solution, the adjusting component 1 is an adjusting ring.
[0029] In another embodiment, the corrective band 2 includes a second fabric layer 22 and an elastic layer 6 disposed between the first fabric layer 21 and the second fabric layer 22; both the first fabric layer 21 and the second fabric layer 22 are made of breathable elastic fabric; the elastic layer 6 has a plurality of air vents 61 evenly distributed thereon. In this embodiment, the elastic layer 6 is disposed between the two fabric layers, which also has the advantages of improving the tensile properties of the corrective band 2 and assisting in heat dissipation.
[0030] Preferably, the bottom layer of the hook and loop fastener 4 is made of rigid plastic, and the front end of the hook and loop fastener 4 is arc-shaped. This structure gives the hook and loop fastener 4 a certain degree of rigidity and the front end a guiding function, helping the corrective strap 2 to pass through the adjustment hole more easily.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
