Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to an ankle ornament for decorating the ankle.

[Conventional technology]

Fashion accessories have traditionally included necklaces and pendants to decorate the neck, bracelets to decorate the wrist, etc., and are selected and used according to the outfit and mood at the time.

As one of these fashion accessories, several ankle decorations have recently been introduced and are attracting the attention of women. For example, a chain-shaped ornament 1 as shown in FIG. 7 is an adaptation of a conventional pendant or bracelet for ankle decoration.

[Problems that the invention attempts to solve]

However, the above-mentioned ankle ornament is simply a diversion of a pendant or bracelet, and involves wrapping a thin metal chain around the ankle and locking the metal chain in a ring shape using metal stops attached to both ends of the metal chain. Therefore, when putting on and taking off the stockings while wearing them, the metal fasteners catch the stockings and easily tear them. In addition, if the metal chain does not have enough room for the ankle, it will not be able to respond to changes in the ankle (changes due to joint and muscle movement) when walking, and the metal chain will easily break, and if the metal chain breaks and falls on the road, etc. The problem is that it is easy to lose the item without noticing it. On the other hand, if the metal chain is too long, the chain will easily flicker under your feet and get in the way of your walking. Furthermore, metal chains only sparkle when exposed to light from a certain angle, and are usually not very noticeable, so they do not have a strong enough appeal to make your feet stand out.

Incidentally, although unique shoes and socks are on the market that positively make an impression on the feet, the reality is that no ankle decorations that actively emphasize the ankles independently of shoes and socks have been proposed.

This invention was developed in view of these circumstances, and is an ankle decoration that actively emphasizes the ankle.It does not damage the ankle even when used in combination with stockings, etc., and does not interfere with the movement of the ankle. The purpose is to provide a flexible ankle ornament that is easy to wear.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the ankle ornament of this invention includes a narrow band material wrapped around the ankle, and a narrow band material attached to one end and the other end of the band material. The strip material includes a planar fastener that is removably engaged and a decorative portion formed at at least one place on the surface of the strip material, and the strip material is provided with the planar fastener inserted inward from the edge of the surface of the strip material. It is configured such that it is attached to.

[Effect]

In other words, the ankle decoration of this invention is a bold change in concept from ankle decorations that were conventionally thought of as mere diversions from pendants and bracelets, and involves wrapping a ribbon-like narrow band material around the ankle. In addition to actively appealing to the feet, both ends of this strip material are designed to be attached and removed safely and conveniently using planar fasteners that extend inward from the edges. . Moreover, since the narrow band material is tightened and tied along the ankle, the band material intermittently tightens the ankle as the ankle flexes while walking, and this tightening causes the area below the ankle to tighten. Blood can be prevented from accumulating. Therefore, even when walking for a long period of time, the toes do not swell and fatigue caused by walking is reduced.

Next, a detailed explanation will be given based on an example of this invention.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of this invention. This ankle accessory is composed of a belt-shaped material 2 made of black Betutin, and a ribbon decoration 3 made of Betutin, which is sewn to one end with thread.
A piece (engaging piece) 4 of a sheet fastener is attached to the other end of the strip material 2 on the same side as the ribbon decoration 3 sewn. The width of the sheet fastener piece 4 is set to be smaller than the width of the strip material 2, so that the sheet fastener piece 4 is inserted further inside the edge of the strip material 2. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2 which is obtained by turning over FIG. It is attached. The width of the sheet fastener piece 5 is also set to be smaller than the width of the strip material 2, so that the sheet fastener piece 5 is inserted further inside the edge of the strip material 2. The dimensions of the strip material 2 above are 1.8 cm in width and 1.8 cm in length.
It is 26cm. Further, the dimensions of each sheet fastener piece 4, 5 are 1.4 cm in width and 3.5 cm in length.

This ankle ornament is used as follows. That is, the band material 2 is wrapped around the ankle with the side with the ribbon decoration 3 on the outside, and both ends are overlapped, and one piece 4 of the sheet fastener is brought together with the other piece 5, so that the band material 2 is wrapped around the ankle in a ring shape. Stop at.
FIG. 3 shows a state in which the ribbon decoration 3 is placed on the heel side. Note that the ribbon decoration 3 may be placed in front of the ankle or on the side of the ankle.

When this ankle decoration is used, since the flexible belt-like material 2 made of vettin is wrapped around the ankle, the belt-like material 2 can sufficiently cope with changes in the ankle during walking, and the burden on the ankle is small. In particular, Betutin is a napkin,
It is good because it is made of cushion and does not slip. Moreover, the strip material 2 will not be stretched and cut. Under normal conditions, it hugs the ankle, and when the ankle flexes while walking, it tightens the ankle appropriately, prevents blood from pooling below the ankle, and prevents swelling of the toes due to long-term walking. . Moreover, the sheet fastener pieces 4, 5
is attached with its edge extending inward from the edge of the strip material 2, so stockings, etc. are not damaged by the engagement protrusions of the sheet fastener pieces 4, 5, and can be easily attached and detached. It also has the advantage of being able to Furthermore, the material used in this ankle accessory is Betutin, which has a lustrous and bulky feel, giving it a strong impression on the feet. You will also be able to get the added benefit of getting used to walking.

In addition, in this invention, the material of the strip material 2 is:
The material is not limited to vettin, but may be appropriately selected from woven fabrics, non-woven fabrics, artificial leathers, etc. made of various fibers. Moreover, the color of the strip material 2 is not limited to black. It is preferable to prepare shoes in various colors so that the user can freely select and wear them, considering the visual effect when matching the color of shoes or socks. Furthermore, regarding the shape, it is preferable that the width is set within a range of 0.5 to 4 cm. If the width is less than 0.5cm,
The band material 2 digs into the ankle when walking and leaves streaks, which is undesirable.Moreover, the sheet fastener pieces 4 and 5
installation becomes difficult. Furthermore, if the width exceeds 4 cm, the effect of tightening the ankle during walking will be weakened, and the band material 2 will have difficulty conforming to the shape of the ankle, resulting in poor wearing comfort. Moreover, the fashionability is also poor. The length of the band material 2 can be determined as appropriate according to the general ankle dimensions, so that it does not tighten the ankle under normal conditions and exerts an appropriate tightening force on the ankle when the ankle is bent. It is preferable to set the length to a certain length. Therefore, since there are individual differences in ankle dimensions, distinctions such as L dimension, M dimension, and S dimension may be provided, following the standards for clothing.

In addition, in this invention, the decorations attached to the strip material 2 are not limited to the ribbon decoration 3 described above, but also those imitating flowers 3a as shown in FIG. 4, and those imitating butterflies as shown in FIG. It is possible to decorate with various designs that give a visually aesthetic impression, such as item 3b. The material of these decorative parts does not necessarily have to match the material of the strip material 2. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 6, instead of a one-point decoration, continuous decorations 3c can be applied to the surface of the strip material 2 at equal intervals.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, the ankle ornament of this invention has a narrow band-like material and a planar fastener that removably engages this band-like material, so it easily follows the movement of the ankle and can be worn while walking. It will not break even if it is stretched. The narrow band material wrapped around the ankle intermittently applies appropriate tightness to the ankle as it flexes, preventing blood from pooling below the ankle and improving comfort during long-term walking. It also has the effect of preventing your toes from swelling. In addition, it can be easily attached and removed using the sheet fastener, and since the sheet fastener is attached to the inside of the strip material 2, it can be used in combination with stockings, etc. It won't even damage it. Furthermore, since the color and shape of the strip material and the decorative part create a strong impression that has never been seen before, it has the advantage that a new visual effect can be consciously created by combining it with shoes or socks.
