Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field This invention relates to socks used for the treatment of so-called athlete's foot in the toes.

(b) Prior art Athlete's foot is a common name for skin lesions that occur when the fungus Trichophyton inhabits the crotch of the toes. The symptoms vary and are typical of intractable lesions, and treatments include oral and topical medications, as well as methods of protecting the affected area from moisture.

Conventionally, a type of cloth that wraps around each toe by wearing it on the front half of the foot has been used to help treat athlete's foot that resides in the crotch of the toes (hereinafter referred to as the crotch of the toes). My socks are warm. As shown in Fig. 6, this type of socks has a cylindrical part 1 worn on the front half of the foot A and a plurality of pointing parts 2 that fit into each toe B of the foot. The knitting yarn used was pure cotton yarn, synthetic fiber yarn, synthetic fiber yarn, etc., and Gomu knitting was used as the knitting yarn structure at the rear end of the tubular portion 1.

Patients also wore sizes organized according to gender or foot size.

When you wear these socks, the fingers B will not rub against each other directly, and the affected areas, such as the crotch of the fingers, will not get stuffy.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention However, when walking while wearing conventional socks, the rear end of the cylindrical part 1 becomes loose as shown in FIG. There was a problem that the socks would roll up and fold in the middle, and the folded part 3 would become bulky, making it difficult to walk or causing discomfort, and in severe cases, the socks would fall off.

Additionally, in the treatment of athlete's foot, it is said to be effective to improve ventilation of the affected area and at the same time patiently and frequently apply therapeutic agents to the affected area. The socks were only secured by the small stitches of the socks, which were not sufficient, and if the socks were left on for a long time, the affected area would get stuffy, and it was a hassle to have to take off the socks each time the medicine was applied. There was also the problem that this became an obstacle to continuing the treatment of athlete's foot, which required patience.

This invention solves the above problems, and it not only prevents fingers from rubbing against each other, but also has elasticity that adapts to various foot sizes regardless of gender, adult or child, and allows you to walk while wearing it. Even if you wear it for a long time, it will not fold, and even if you wear it for a long time, it will ensure good ventilation and protect the affected area from stuffiness.
It is an object of the present invention to provide socks for treating athlete's foot that have various advantages in that a therapeutic agent can be applied while wearing the socks.

(d) Means for solving the problem This invention consists of a cylindrical part that is worn on the front half of the foot, and each toe fits into it so that the toes do not come into direct contact with each other. The socks for treating athlete's foot are formed by integrally knitting a plurality of pointing parts, and the yarn structure of the cylindrical part and the pointing part contains a core yarn such as polyurethane elastic yarn having elastic stretchability. At the same time, the rear end of the cylindrical part is made into a band part that is more elastic and stretchable than other parts, and the pointing part has an opening at its tip through which the toes protrude, and the pointing part has an opening through which the toes protrude, and the pointing part has an opening through which the toes protrude. It is characterized in that holes larger than the stitches of the knitting yarn structure are formed in the branched valleys formed between the sections.

(e) Effect According to this invention, the pointing part prevents fingers from touching or rubbing against each other. In addition, not only the stitches of the knitting yarn structure ensure ventilation, but also the opening at the tip of the pointing part and the large hole formed in the branched valley between the pointing parts, making it easier than the stitches mentioned above. Even better ventilation is ensured. Further, the hole also serves as a drug injection hole when applying a therapeutic agent to an affected area such as the crotch of the fingers.

In addition, the socks of this invention are highly elastic and stretchable as a whole due to the action of the core yarn contained in the knitting yarn structure, so even if the socks are uniform in size when not worn. It is well suited for feet of various sizes depending on gender, adults and children, and when worn, the center part of the foot is tightly tightened by the large elastic band, and the other parts are tightly tightened. The front half of the foot is tightened evenly.

(f) Embodiment FIG. 1 is an overall schematic perspective view of socks that are an embodiment of this invention. These socks are integrally knitted with a cylindrical part 1 worn on the front half of the foot and a plurality of pointing parts 2 into which each toe fits. In the socks shown in the example, the pointing part 2 is the first to fifth part.
Although one is provided for each finger, only the necessary ones may be provided.

The tubular part 1 and the pointing part 2 are knitted by stockinette knitting, waste knitting, or other knitting methods that allow expansion and contraction, and all or part of the knitting yarn is made of yarn itself such as polyurethane elastic yarn or natural waste yarn. A knitting yarn with great elasticity and stretchability is used. Therefore,
Even if the size of the socks when not worn is even smaller than the small feet of women and children, by stretching them, they are suitable not only for the large feet of women and children, but also for the large feet of men and adults. can also be worn well.

The rear end portion of the cylindrical portion 1 is a band portion 4 having more elasticity and stretchability than other portions. This band part 4
can be easily knitted by including more of the core yarn in the knitting yarn structure than in other parts. In this case, the method of incorporating the core yarn can be, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, by intertwining the core yarn 6 with the synthetic yarn or synthetic yarn 5 forming the main body of the knitting yarn structure.

The pointing part 2 has an opening 7 at its tip, and the toe B protrudes from this opening 7 when the socks are worn, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, holes 9 are formed in each of the branched valley portions 8 formed between the adjacent pointing portions 2, 2. It is essential that the holes 9 are larger than the stitches of the knitting yarn structure.

Note that the rear end edge of the cylindrical portion 1, the periphery of the opening 7, and the hole 9
The peripheral edges of the knitting yarn are stopped to prevent the knitting yarn from fraying.

When wearing the socks described above, the base of each finger B is wrapped by the pointing part 2 as shown in Fig. 5, which prevents the affected areas C in the crotch of the fingers from rubbing against each other, and also prevents the affected areas C from rubbing against each other. Ventilation occurs not only through the stitches of the knitting yarn structure, but also through openings 7 (see Figure 1).
This is also ensured by the gap between the peripheral edge of the finger B and the hole 9, so even if the finger is worn for a long time, the affected area C
stuffiness is kept to a minimum. In addition, the hole 9
Since it is possible to apply the therapeutic agent to the affected area C by inserting the medication nozzle from the inside, there is no need to take off the socks every time you apply the therapeutic agent, and you can apply the therapeutic agent patiently and frequently without having to worry about it. Can be applied. Furthermore, in the worn state, in addition to the entire front half of foot A being tightened by the socks, the band portion 4 also allows the part of foot A from the base of the foot to the top of the foot to be tightened by other socks. Even if you walk while wearing it, the rear end of the cylindrical part 1 will hardly be bent in the middle as in the conventional case. Therefore, the socks do not fold in the middle, making them bulky or causing discomfort.

(g) Effects of the device According to this device configured as described above, not only do fingers not come into contact with each other, but also ventilation to the affected area is ensured much better than with conventional devices.
Even if you wear it for a long time, the stuffiness of the affected area is kept to a minimum, and the affected area can be kept dry at all times.
Furthermore, since there is no need to take off the socks each time a therapeutic agent is applied, the therapeutic agent can be patiently and frequently applied to the affected area without any hassle. In addition, since it does not bend when you walk while wearing it, there is no bulky feeling or discomfort associated with wearing it, and it is not a burden to wear for a long time, making it ideal for treating athlete's foot that requires a long period of time. I can say that. Furthermore, since the knitting yarn of the knitting yarn structure contains a highly elastic and stretchable core yarn, if one size is made, it can be used by anyone regardless of gender, adult or child, and even if the foot size is different. However, it also has the advantage of being easy to use.
