The present disclosure claims priority of the Chinese patent application No. 202320683083.3 filed on Mar. 31, 2023, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of socks, in particular to a toe separation correction sock.
Hallux valgus is a common foot problem, there are various reasons, such as congenital heredity and compressed deformation of halluces caused by long-term wearing of narrow-lasted shoes or high heels, and common flat feet are also one of the reasons. Slight hallux valgus can be relieved with the help of various correction apparatuses, while severe cases can only be treated through surgery.
A novel patent No. TW110212055U from Taiwan, China has disclosed a hallux correction sock, including a sock body, a fixing part, and at least one adjusting part. The sock body is provided with a hallux part and a four-toe part. A containing region is formed outside the sock body and located between the hallux part and the four-toe part. The fixing part is located in the containing region and connected with the hallux part. The at least one adjusting part is located in the containing region and detachably combined with the fixing part. In the above technical solution, one side of the fixing part is fixedly connected with the hallux part, the other side thereof is connected with the adjusting part, the adjusting part is relatively separated from opposite sides of the four-toe part, therefore, in actual application, when a hallux moves up and down relative to a second toe, the adjusting part may disengage from the containing region; and the pressed adjusting part and fixing part will rebound to deform after the adjusting part disengages from the containing region since both the adjusting part and the fixing part are made of plastic, the adjusting part and fixing part that rebound to deform become larger, so that the adjusting part cannot normally return into the containing region after the hallux returns to an original position again, and therefore a correction effect of the adjusting part is lost.
The present disclosure aims at providing a toe separation correction sock. Two sides of an elastic sleeve in the correction sock are fixedly connected with a hallux sleeving part and a second sleeving part respectively, and filling blocks are clamped in the elastic sleeve, so as to be effectively prevented from disengaging from a position between a hallux and a second toe when the hallux moves up and down, thereby ensuring a continuous correction function of the correction sock.
A technical solution adopted for solving the technical problem of the present disclosure is as follows: A toe separation correction sock, includes a toe separation sock and an elastic toe separation module, a front end of the toe separation sock includes a hallux sleeving part and a second sleeving part, the second sleeving part is used for sleeving four toes except for the hallux, the elastic toe separation module includes a carrier assembly and a filling assembly, the carrier assembly includes an elastic sleeve, the elastic sleeve is fixedly arranged between the hallux sleeving part and the second sleeving part, the filling assembly includes a plurality of filling blocks, and any filling block can be contained in an inner cavity of the elastic sleeve.
Preferably, a filling opening is formed in an upper portion of the elastic sleeve, a cross section area of the filling opening is less than a cross section area of the cavity of the elastic sleeve, and a cross section area of any filling block is greater than the cross section area of the filling opening.
Furthermore, the carrier assembly further includes an annular reinforcing tape, and the annular reinforcing tape is fixedly arranged on a left side of the elastic sleeve and used for fixedly sleeving the hallux sleeving part.
Furthermore, the carrier assembly further includes a left square bracket-shaped reinforcing tape, the left square bracket-shaped reinforcing tape is fixedly arranged on a right side of the elastic sleeve, and a side wall, away from the elastic sleeve of the left square bracket-shaped reinforcing tape is fixedly connected with a corresponding outer side wall of the second sleeving part.
Furthermore, the elastic sleeve, the annular reinforcing tape and the left square bracket-shaped reinforcing tape are all made of silica gel.
Furthermore, the filling assembly includes three filling blocks, and the three filling blocks are a first filling block, a second filling block and a third filling block respectively.
Furthermore, the first filling block, the second filling block and the third filling block are all elastomers.
Furthermore, both thicknesses and hardnesses of the first filling block, the second filling block and the third filling block are sequentially increased, cross sections of the first filling block and the second filling block are oval, and a cross section of the third filling block is triangular.
Furthermore, the second sleeving part is in a single-cylinder shape, and when the four toes are sleeved with the second sleeving part, an upper extension end of the left square bracket-shaped reinforcing tape is located above a second toe, and a lower extension end of the left square bracket-shaped reinforcing tape is located below the second toe.
The present disclosure has the beneficial effects that the toe separation correction sock is simple in structure and convenient to process and manufacture; the two sides of the elastic sleeve are fixedly connected with side walls of the hallux sleeving part and the second sleeving part respectively, so that the elastic sleeve swings along with the hallux up and down to a certain degree when the hallux swings up and down relative to the second toe, and when the elastic sleeve swings up and down to a certain degree, the filling blocks can be effectively prevented from disengaging from the elastic sleeve since they are clamped in the elastic sleeve, so as to still ensure the correction function of the correction sock when the hallux moves up and down, thereby improving the practicality of the correction sock; the annular reinforcing tape and the left square bracket-shaped reinforcing tape are fixedly connected with corresponding sock body, so that the stability and fixation of the elastic sleeve between the hallux sleeving part and the second sleeving part can be improved, thereby improving the durability of the correction socks; both the thicknesses and hardnesses of the first filling block, the second filling block and the third filling block are different, so that different correction requirements of users can be met, thereby improving flexibly application of the correction socks; and the filling blocks are the elastomers, so that they can be smoothly put in the cavity of the elastic sleeve through the filling opening after being compressed, and the cross sections of the filling blocks are larger than the cross section of the filling opening after the filling blocks rebound to restore in the cavity, so that the filling blocks can be effectively prevented from being exposed out of the filling opening, laying a foundation for continuously ensuring the correction function of the correction sock.
