The disclosure relates to compression devices and more particularly pertains to a new compression device for inhibiting the formation of varicose veins.
The prior art relates to compression devices.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a compression garment that is worn on a user's lower body. The compression garment is comprised of an elastic material thereby facilitating the compression garment to squeeze against the user's body wherein the compression garment to inhibit the formation of varicose veins in the user's lower body. A plurality of first mating members is each integrated into the compression garment. Each of the first mating members is positioned to extend along strategic locations on the user's body when the compression garment is worn. A plurality of second mating members is each wrappable around the compression garment at strategic locations on the compression garment.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A plurality of first mating members 26 is each integrated into the compression garment 12. Each of the first mating members 26 is positioned to extend along strategic locations on the user's body 14 when the compression garment 12 is worn. Moreover, each of the first mating members 26 may comprise a loop portion of a set of hook and loop fasteners or the like.
The plurality of first mating members 26 includes a plurality of vertically oriented mating members 28 and a plurality of horizontally oriented mating members 30. Each of the horizontally oriented mating members 30 extends around a respective one of the legs 18. Each of the horizontally oriented mating members 30 is aligned with the crotch 20. In this way each of the horizontally oriented mating members 30 can wrap around an upper threshold of the user's thighs when the compression garment 12 is worn.
Each of the vertically oriented mating members 28 is positioned on a respective one of the legs 18. Additionally, the vertically oriented mating members 28 on each of the legs 18 are spaced from each other and are distributed around an entire circumference of the legs 18. A respective plurality of the vertically oriented mating members 28 extends between the horizontally oriented mating member 30 on the respective leg 18 and a terminal end 32 of the respective leg. A respective pair of the vertically oriented mating members 28 extends between the waist 22 and the terminal end 32 of the respective leg 18 along an outer side of the respective leg 18.
A plurality of second mating members 34 is provided and each of the second mating members 34 is wrappable around the compression garment 12 at strategic locations on the compression garment 12. Additionally, each of the second mating members 34 engages respective first mating members 26. In this way the second mating members 34 tighten the compression garment 12 around the strategic locations in the effort of inhibiting the formation of varicose veins. Each of the second mating members 34 is wrappable and tightenable around a respective one of the legs 18. Moreover, each of the second mating members 34 may comprise a hook portion of a set of hook and loop fasteners or the like. Each of the second mating members 34 is structured to form an elongated strap.
In use, the compression garment 12 is worn to inhibit the formation of varicose veins. The compression garment 12 may be worn by a woman during pregnancy, an elderly person with poor circulation or by any individual seeking relieve from varicose veins. The second mating members 34 can be wrapped around legs 18 to increase the pressure on the user's body 14. Additionally, the second mating members 34 can be positioned at strategic locations on the user's legs 18. In this way the user can apply pressure to selected areas on the legs 18 that are most vulnerable to developing varicose veins.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
