Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toenail correction technology, specifically an automatic stretching toenail correction clip. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, traditional ingrown toenail correctors typically use two patches with a fixed spacing, requiring different sizes of correctors to be designed for different patients' toenails. This causes inconvenience for both patients and operators, resulting in poor applicability. Furthermore, the two patches are usually connected by an elastic rod, which cannot be replaced during use, and the corrective force of the elastic rod cannot be adjusted. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN219089842U discloses a combined ingrown toenail corrector. This corrector fixes one end of a strip elastic element to the first patch, then glues the lower surface of the first patch to one side of the patient's toenail. The other side of the strip elastic element is flipped to the other side of the patient's toenail, the required length is determined and cut, and it naturally springs back after being released. Next, the strip groove on the lower surface of the second patch is aligned with the strip elastic element, and the two are glued together. Finally, the second patch is pressed down onto the patient's toe and glued in place.

[0003] The various drawbacks of traditional toenail correction clips make the process complicated and the results difficult to guarantee when patients receive toenail correction treatment. This not only increases the pain and financial burden on patients, but also causes great trouble for medical staff or operators. Therefore, in view of the above situation, there is an urgent need to develop an automatic stretching toenail correction clip to overcome the shortcomings in current practical applications. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: An automatic toenail straightening clip includes at least one stretching auxiliary rib, at least one elastic strip, and at least one fixing clip; The elastic strip is connected to the fixing buckle, the tension auxiliary rib is used to assist the installation of the elastic strip, and the tension auxiliary rib is trimmed and removed after installation; The positions of the tensioning auxiliary rib, elastic strip, and fixing buckle can be located in any direction (up, down, left, right) of the correction buckle.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the two ends of the elastic strip are provided with snap fasteners, and the elastic strip is connected and fixed to the tension auxiliary rib through the snap fasteners.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the elastic strip is straight or curved; When the elastic strip is straight, it is located below the fixing buckle, and in use, the elastic strip fits the toenail. When the elastic strip is arc-shaped, the elastic strip is located above the fixing buckle.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: when the elastic strip is arc-shaped, at least one through hole is provided on the elastic strip.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the tensioning auxiliary rib is provided with at least one hollow hole, the elastic strip is provided with at least one hollow hole, and one end of the fixing buckle is provided with at least one hollow hole.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the connection between the elastic strip and the fixing buckle is achieved by: connecting with adhesive, or by providing auxiliary holes at corresponding positions of the elastic strip and the fixing buckle, and connecting by a connector passing through the auxiliary holes.

[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] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an automatic toenail straightening clip, including a stretching auxiliary rib 1, an elastic strip 4, a fixing clip 3, and a locking piece 5. At least one stretching auxiliary rib 1 is provided, and its position is unrestricted, allowing it to be located in any direction (up, down, left, right) of the straightening clip. At least one elastic strip 4 is provided, also distributed in any direction (up, down, left, right) of the straightening clip, and the elastic strip 4 is straight, located below the fixing clip 3, and conforms to the toenail surface in use. At least one fixing clip 3 is provided, and its position can be flexibly selected (any direction (up, down, left, right)). Locking pieces 5 are provided at both ends of the elastic strip 4, connecting and fixing it to the stretching auxiliary rib 1. After installation, any excess portion of the stretching auxiliary rib 1 needs to be trimmed.

[0021] By incorporating a flexibly arranged tension auxiliary rib 1, elastic strip 4, and fixing buckle 3, along with a quick-connect design for the snap-fit ​​piece 5, there is no need to design individual sizes for different patients' toenails, resulting in wider adaptability. The installation process requires no complicated operations; fixation can be completed simply by positioning the auxiliary rib and connecting the snap-fit ​​piece 5, achieving a convenient and quick effect. The overall structure is simple, requiring no additional complex parts, balancing product aesthetics with low-cost production needs, and solving the problems of traditional orthodontic buckles requiring glue fixation, cumbersome operation steps, and high costs.

[0022] In one embodiment of the present invention, the elastic strip 4 may be designed as an arc shape, and the arc-shaped elastic strip 4 is located above the fixing buckle 3; at least one through hole is provided on the elastic strip 4.

[0023] The arc-shaped elastic strip 4 conforms better to the curved contour of the toenail. Combined with the through-hole design, it can optimize the rebound performance and force uniformity of the elastic strip 4. Users can choose elastic strips 4 with different numbers of through holes according to the thickness of the toenail and the correction needs, thereby indirectly adjusting the correction force. This solves the problem that traditional correction clips cannot adjust the force according to the thickness of the toenail and have poor correction effect.

[0024] In one embodiment of this utility model, at least one perforated hole 6 is further provided on the tension auxiliary rib 1, the elastic strip 4, and the fixing buckle 3. The perforated hole 6 of the tension auxiliary rib 1 is located on its body, the perforated hole 6 of the elastic strip 4 is opened on the strip body, and the perforated hole 6 of the fixing buckle 3 is located at one end. The positions of all the perforated holes 6 are not restricted and can be flexibly arranged according to installation requirements.

[0025] The design of the hollow hole 6 mainly achieves two functions: first, it effectively reduces the overall weight of the correction buckle and improves wearing comfort; second, it can assist in positioning and operation during installation, further simplifying the installation steps. When used in conjunction with the tensioning auxiliary rib 1, it makes the installation process more convenient and efficient, without affecting the structural strength and elasticity of the correction buckle.

[0026] In one embodiment of this utility model, the connection between the elastic strip 4 and the fixing buckle 3 is one of the following two methods: the first method is to directly connect and fix the elastic strip 4 and the fixing buckle 3 with an adhesive; the second method is to set an auxiliary hole 2 at the corresponding position of the elastic strip 4 and the fixing buckle 3, and to connect and fix the two by passing the connector 7 through the auxiliary hole 2.

[0027] Neither of the two connection methods requires the use of glue to bond the elastic components of traditional corrective buckles, avoiding the inconvenience of replacement caused by glue curing. When the elasticity of the elastic strip 4 weakens after long-term use, it can be easily disassembled and replaced. At the same time, the two connection methods are suitable for different installation scenarios and usage needs, with strong connection and no need for additional complex fixing structures, further reducing production and operation costs, and solving the defects of difficult replacement of elastic components and cumbersome operation steps of traditional corrective buckles.

[0028] In all the above embodiments, the number of stretching auxiliary ribs 1, elastic strips 4 and fixing buckles 3 can be increased according to actual correction needs, and their position layout can be flexibly adjusted according to the shape of the toenail and the correction area. They can all achieve the core function of automatic stretching correction, and the overall structure is simple and easy to produce, which can meet the toenail correction needs of different patients.

[0029] It should be noted that, in this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms sliding, rotating, fixed, and provided should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to welded connections, bolted connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
