Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This specification discloses a technique relating to support bands for upper and lower limbs. [Background technology]

[0002] As a method for alleviating symptoms of deformed upper and lower limbs, such as shoulder joints, knee joints, and hip joints, a method of taping parts of the upper and lower limbs with adhesive tape is known. Patent Document 1 describes a support band for alleviating symptoms of deformed feet, such as flat feet and hallux valgus. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3248872 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The method of applying taping using adhesive tape has the problem that repeated use places a great strain on the skin. In addition, the support band in Patent Document 1 requires the use of both hands when putting it on, which makes it difficult for users with one hand to wear it, and it also has the problem that it is difficult to wear with one hand when wearing it on the upper arm. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] One embodiment of the upper and lower limb support band disclosed in this specification includes a band-like body having a length sufficient to wrap around the upper and lower limbs and stretchable in the longitudinal direction, a hook-and-loop fastener provided on the back surface of the band near one end and detachable from the front surface of the band, a non-slip portion provided on the back surface of the band near the other end and having a higher coefficient of friction than the back surface, and a buckle connected to the other end of the band and having a slit through which the one end can be folded back. With this embodiment of the lower limb support band, a user can wrap and secure the upper and lower limb support band around the upper and lower limbs while applying tension to the band-like body by passing one end through the slit of the buckle with one hand and pulling it while attaching the hook-and-loop fastener to the front surface. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0006] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a top view showing the upper and lower limb support band. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a rear view showing the upper and lower limb support band. [Figure 3] FIG. 2 is a right side view showing the upper and lower limb support band. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] FIG. 1 is a top view of the upper and lower limb support band 100. FIG. 2 is a rear view of the upper and lower limb support band 100. FIG. 3 is a right side view of the upper and lower limb support band 100. The upper and lower limb support band 100 is a device that is wrapped around the upper and lower limbs to relieve symptoms of deformation of the upper and lower limbs, such as the shoulder joint, knee joint, and hip joint. The upper and lower limb support band 100 includes a band-shaped body 110, a hook-and-loop fastener 120, an anti-slip portion 130, a buckle 140, and a protector 150.

[0008] The band-shaped body 110 of the upper and lower limb support band 100 is in the form of a band of a length that can be wrapped around the upper and lower limbs. The band-shaped body 110 is stretchable in the longitudinal direction. The length of the band-shaped body 110 in the longitudinal direction is preferably about 30 cm to 40 cm. The width of the band-shaped body 110 is preferably about 5 cm.

[0009] The front surface 112 of the band 110 is configured as a loop surface that can be attached to and detached from the hook-and-loop fastener 120 configured as a hook-and-loop surface. The back surface 114 of the band 110 is provided with a non-slip portion 130 and the hook-and-loop fastener 120.

[0010] The hook and loop fastener 120 of the upper and lower limb support band 100 is provided on the back surface 114 of the band 110 near one end 118. The hook and loop fastener 120 is configured as a hook surface that can be attached to and detached from the front surface 112 of the band 110, which is configured as a loop surface.

[0011] The anti-slip portion 130 of the upper and lower limb support band 100 is provided on the back surface 114 of the band-shaped body 110, near the other end 116. The anti-slip portion 130 is made of a material with a higher coefficient of friction than the back surface 114. The anti-slip portion 130 may be made of an elastomer resin.

[0012] The buckle 140 of the upper and lower limb support band 100 is connected to the other end 116 of the band-like body 110. The buckle 140, together with the protector 150, is sewn to the other end 116 of the band-like body 110 with sewing thread 144. The buckle 140 has a slit 142 through which the band-like body 110 can be passed. A user can pass one end 118 of the band-like body 110 through the slit 142 and fold it back, and then adhere the hook-and-loop fastener 120 to the surface 112 of the band-like body 110. This forms the upper and lower limb support band 100 into a loop that can be wrapped around the upper and lower limbs.

[0013] The protector 150 of the upper and lower limb support band 100 is a piece of cloth provided on the back side of the buckle 140. The protector 150 is slightly larger than the buckle 140. The protector 150 protects the user's skin from the buckle 140 so that the buckle 140 does not come into direct contact with the user's skin.

[0014] According to the upper and lower limb support band 100 described above, the user can use one hand to pass one end 118 through the slit 142 of the buckle 140 and pull it while attaching the hook-and-loop fastener 120 to the surface 112, thereby wrapping and securing the upper and lower limb support band 100 around the upper and lower limbs while applying tension to the band-shaped body 110.

[0015] The technology disclosed in this specification is not limited to the above-described embodiments, examples, and modifications, and can be realized in various configurations without departing from the spirit thereof. For example, among the technical features of the above-described embodiments, examples, and modifications, those corresponding to the technical features of each form described in the Summary of the Invention column can be appropriately replaced and combined to solve some or all of the above-described problems or achieve some or all of the above-described effects. Furthermore, technical features not described as essential in this specification can be appropriately deleted. [Explanation of symbols]
