Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to a moisture absorbing device for the toes, particularly a moisture absorbing device for the toes that absorbs moisture such as sweat generated between the toes. be.

(Prior Art) Conventional toe hygiene devices or athlete's foot prevention drying devices as toe moisture absorbing devices that absorb moisture such as sweat generated between the toes include the following.

First, in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-163220, a toe separating piece inserted between the toes is placed parallel to a flat plate-shaped receiving piece that receives the sole of the toe and has a width that approximately matches the width of the sole. In addition to standing upright, the receiving piece and separating piece are coated with a surface layer that can be impregnated with an athlete's foot medicine, and the athlete's foot medicine is applied to this coating layer and used by applying it to the soles of the feet and between the intertoes. This is a toe hygiene device that absorbs sweat generated between the toes and takes measures against athlete's foot that occurs between the toes.

Furthermore, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 51-39676 discloses a convex portion inserted between the toes and held between adjacent toes;
The interdigital stabilizing concave portions formed between the convex portions are formed in series from a hygroscopic material into which a chemical can be applied, and the entire concave portion is formed into a curved shape corresponding to the shape of the base of the interdigital foot. This is a dry product for preventing athlete's foot that is inserted into a person's toes and absorbs secretions such as moisture and oil.

(Problems with the conventional example) However, in the toe hygiene device that absorbs moisture generated between the toes described in the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-163220, the toe separation device that protrudes from the flat plate-shaped receiving piece By providing a coating layer on the surface of the piece, each toe is separated, and by applying an athlete's foot medicine to the coating layer on the surface of the toe separation piece, a corresponding effect can be expected. Well,
Since the toe septum was simply made upright from the flat plate-shaped receiving piece, its contact surface with the sole of the toe was limited, resulting in low moisture absorption, and the upright state of the toe septum In order to ensure this, appropriate strength and rigidity are required for the receiving plate and toe separation piece, and,
Since no consideration was given to the raised part of the sole of the foot, it does not fit well with the sole of the foot and toes when worn, and the width of the part does not reach the sole of the foot and the outside of both outer toes. Because it is formed in
This toe sanitary device has a wide width and is bulky, which poses a problem in that it may be difficult to handle.

Moreover, in the case of the athlete's foot prevention dried body described in the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-39676, there is a convex portion inserted between the toes and held between adjacent toes, and a convex portion between each of the convex portions. The formed toe stabilizing recesses are formed in a series from a hygroscopic material that can be coated with chemicals, and the entire recess is formed in a curved shape that corresponds to the shape of the base of the interdigital toe, making it easy to insert into the toe. By wearing leather shoes, it is possible to absorb moisture, oil, and other secretions that occur on the toes of people who wear leather shoes for long periods of time, and to keep these areas dry for a considerable period of time. Since the dry athlete's foot prevention substance is filled in the gap between the sole surface of the shoe and the toes, there is no gap between adjacent toes and the inside of the sole, and there is no gap between the bases of each toe. There was a problem in that the athlete's foot dry body tends to cause a feeling of pressure and, furthermore, a feeling of wearing the athlete's foot dry body.

This invention was made by focusing on the problems in the conventional example, and the moisture absorption device main body and the toe sole contact part are approximately the same shape as the flip-up part of the sole and the sole of the toe,
Their lengths are short and narrow, and their widths are narrow.
The above-mentioned problem can be solved by providing a toe separating piece that rises between the toes from the side edges of the soles of adjacent toes and is folded back twice at the center of the height of the toes. The purpose is to provide a moisture absorbing device for toes.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the conventional problems as described above, this invention uses a material such as cloth, netting, paper, etc. that comes into contact with the raised part 23 of the sole 22 and has hygroscopic properties. A first toe sole abutment part that comes into contact with the soles of the first toes 24 to 5th toes 27 is provided on the front side of the moisture absorbing device main body 1, which is formed by impregnating a suitable shape retaining material into a flexible material. 3 to 5th toe sole contact parts 7 are provided protrudingly, and the moisture absorbing device main body 1 and the first toe sole contact parts 3 to 5th toe sole contact parts 7 are connected to the sole 22 of the foot.
Jumping part 23 and first toe 3 to fifth toe 7
The side edge portions of adjacent toe sole abutting portions of the first toe sole abutting portion 3 to fifth toe sole abutting portion 7 are formed to have substantially the same shape as the sole of the toe. Raise it to approximately the center of the toes 24 to 28 that are in contact with the backing parts 3 to 7, and fold it back so that the center is doubled.
A toe separation piece 8 to a fourth toe separation piece 11 are formed, and the first toe sole contact portion 3 and the fifth toe sole contact portion 7 are formed.

(Effects of the invention) Since this invention has the structure and functions as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) By inserting the 2nd to 4th toe septum of the toe moisture absorbing device between the 1st to 5th toes so that they are in close contact with each other along the back surface of the toes, the moisture generated between each toe can be It absorbs sweat, moisture, etc. along its entire surface, and its use maintains a dry state between the toes, ensuring a refreshing feeling around the toes.

(2) Stand up along the sole surface from the side edge of the toe pad that protrudes forward from the moisture absorbing device body, and fold it double at the center of the toe to form the first to fourth toe separation pieces. Because of this structure, a gap is created between the bases of adjacent toes and the inner surface of the sole, and therefore, even though the toe sole contact part contacts the sole of the toe along the entire surface, the adjacent foot There is no feeling of pressure at the base of the toe, and this moisture absorbing device for the toe can be used with almost no feeling of being worn.

(3) The side edges of the moisture absorbing device body, the first to fifth toe sole abutting parts, and the edges of each toe sole abutting part are shorter and smaller than the sole edge and toe end edge that contact them, respectively; Also, the height of the second to fourth toe separation pieces is lower than the height of the toes that contact them, so when this toe moisture absorption device is attached to the sole of the foot, No part of the moisture absorbing device is exposed around the periphery or above the toes, so there is no risk of creating a step or bulk around the toes when worn, and it also prevents socks, shoes, etc. When worn, there is no fear that a difference in level will appear around the toes or on the upper side thereof, and shoes, etc. can be worn as usual without strain.

(4) The first to fourth toe separation pieces of the moisture absorbing device for the toes are held between adjacent toes, and the moisture absorbing device between the toes is attached to the sole of the foot during walking, etc. At that time, the body of the moisture absorbing device comes into contact with the raised part of the sole of the foot,
Since it is pressed down, the moisture absorbing device worn on the toes is stably held and there is no risk of it becoming swayed unnecessarily.

(5) Since the first to fourth toe separation pieces have a simple structure, just raise the both side edges of the toe sole abutting parts that are integrated with the moisture absorbing device body up to the center of the toes and fold them back.
It is easy to manufacture and has cost advantages, such as the fact that each part, including the toe release pieces, can be made of the same material at the same time.

(6) Since the moisture absorbing device main body and the first to fifth toe sole contact parts are formed in substantially the same shape as the flip-up part of the sole and the first to fifth toe sole contact parts, this toe part The compatibility between the moisture absorbing device and the sole of the foot is good.

(7) The toe separation piece doubles the moisture-absorbing material that stands up from the side edge of the toe sole contact part from approximately the center of the height of the toe that contacts the toe sole contact part. Because it is folded and molded, the relatively thin hygroscopic material creates a thick and highly hygroscopic toe septum, which in turn,
A toe moisture absorbing device with excellent moisture absorption properties can be constructed from a relatively thin moisture absorbing material.
