Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of auxiliary devices for correcting hallux valgus, specifically a hallux valgus corrector. Background Technology
[0002] There are many types of hallux valgus correctors available, but most of them require binding the big toe and pulling it inwards towards the foot. This can affect blood circulation in the big toe, and binding the big toe can also cause significant discomfort. Furthermore, binding the big toe requires more material, making it difficult to wear the corrector while wearing shoes. In addition, traditional correctors are usually worn on the side of the foot, which further increases the difficulty of wearing them while wearing shoes. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is how to design a hallux valgus corrector that can reduce discomfort when wearing it.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A hallux valgus corrector includes a foot fixing part, and a support frame is provided on the foot fixing part at the toe end. The support frame has a blocking part that prevents the big toe from turning outward and extends to the space between the big toe and the second toe.
[0006] The blocking part is provided with soft pads on both sides or one side where it contacts the toes.
[0007] The support frame has a pull strap between its side and the foot fixing part to pull the big toe inward.
[0008] The support frame and the foot fixing part are movably connected by a pin.
[0009] The foot fixing part includes a foot fixing frame and a foot fixing strap. The support frame is movably connected to the foot fixing frame, and the foot fixing frame is located at the instep position.
[0010] The foot fixing part includes a foot fixing frame, a foot fixing strap, and an angle adjustment frame. Both the angle adjustment frame and the foot fixing frame are equipped with foot fixing straps. The width of the foot fixing strap on the foot fixing frame is wider than that on the angle adjustment frame so that the angle adjustment frame can be adjusted. The front part of the foot fixing frame is movably connected to the angle adjustment frame via a pin, and the rear part of the foot fixing frame is connected to the angle adjustment frame via a locking mechanism. The support frame is movably connected to the front end of the angle adjustment frame.
[0011] The locking mechanism includes a slide groove on the angle adjustment frame and a locking member that passes through the slide groove. One end of the locking member is pressed against the angle adjustment frame, and the other end of the locking member passes through the slide groove and is connected to the foot fixing frame.
[0012] The foot fixing frame is provided with a protruding connecting part for connecting the locking element, and the locking element is threaded or fastened to the connecting part of the foot fixing frame.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting a support frame with a blocking part between the big toe and the second toe to prevent the big toe from turning outward, the big toe is not bound, which effectively reduces the impact on the blood circulation of the big toe and increases the wearing comfort. At the same time, since the support frame is set at the instep, the instep of the shoe has a large space for adjustment, making it easier to put on the shoes. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Example 1
[0020] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The figure shows a hallux valgus corrector, including a foot fixing part. A support frame 4 is provided at the toe-facing end of the foot fixing part. The support frame 4 has a blocking portion that prevents the big toe from turning outward and extends to the space between the big toe and the second toe. Soft pads are provided on both sides or one side of the blocking portion that contacts the toes. In this embodiment, pads are provided on both sides. The soft pad on the side of the blocking portion closest to the big toe is the first soft pad 5, and the soft pad on the side closest to the second toe is the second soft pad 6. The soft pads make the device more comfortable for the user.
[0021] To further prevent bunions, this embodiment includes a pull strap 1 between the side of the support frame 4 and the foot fixing part to pull the big toe inward. One end of the pull strap 1 is connected to the support frame 4, and the other end is connected to the foot fixing part. The pull strap 1 assists the support frame 4 in pulling, preventing the support frame 4 from being restricted in movement between the foot fixing part due to bunions, thus improving wearing comfort. The support frame 4 and the foot fixing part are movably connected by a first pin 7. In this embodiment, the foot fixing part includes a foot fixing frame 8 and a foot fixing strap. There are generally two foot fixing straps, namely a first foot fixing strap 2 and a second foot fixing strap 3. These two foot fixing straps are respectively located at the front and back of the foot to provide a secure fixation. The support frame 4 is movably connected to the foot fixing frame, which is located at the instep. In this embodiment, a third soft pad 9 is also provided at the contact part between the foot fixing part and the foot to improve wearing comfort.
[0022] Example 2
[0023] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the foot fixing part in this embodiment includes a foot fixing frame 8, a foot fixing strap, and an angle adjusting frame 10. Both the angle adjusting frame 10 and the foot fixing frame 8 are equipped with foot fixing straps. The first foot fixing strap 2 is provided on the angle adjusting frame 10, and the second foot fixing strap 3 is provided on the foot fixing frame 8. The width of the foot fixing strap on the foot fixing frame 8 is wider than that on the angle adjusting frame to allow the angle of the angle adjusting frame to be adjusted. The front section of the foot fixing frame 8 is movably connected to the angle adjusting frame via a second pin 12, and the rear section of the foot fixing frame is connected to the angle adjusting frame via a locking mechanism, allowing the angle adjusting frame to rotate around the pin. The support frame 4 is movably connected to the front end of the angle adjusting frame. In this embodiment, the angle adjusting frame and the foot fixing frame are movably connected and locked by the locking mechanism, making the angle of the support frame 4 adjustable and the tightness of the strap 1 adjustable, thus improving the corrective effect.
[0024] The locking mechanism described in this embodiment includes a slide groove 11 on the angle adjustment frame 10 and a locking member 13 passing through the slide groove 11. One end of the locking member 13 is pressed against the angle adjustment frame, and the other end of the locking member passes through the slide groove and connects to the foot fixing frame. The foot fixing frame has a protruding connecting part for connecting the locking member. The locking member is threaded or fastened to the connecting part of the foot fixing frame. In this embodiment, the end of the locking member is round, and its diameter is larger than the width of the slide groove.
[0025] In both of the above embodiments, the pull strap 1 and the fixing strap are flexible webbing.
