Toe corrector
View Patent ↗A toe corrector is provided including: a floor part; correction protrusions protruding between each toe from an upper surface of the floor part to correct the toes; a connection part for connecting the upper ends of the correction protrusions so that correction protrusions are put on toes to be fixed; and light emitting units for emitting light by independently generating electricity, which are provided inside the correction protrusions and on the floor part.
1. A toe corrector comprising:
a bottom part;
correction protrusions configured to protrude between adjacent toes from an upper surface of the bottom part to correct the toes;
a connection part configured to connect upper ends of the correction protrusions so that correction protrusions are fitted on toes to be fixed; and
light emitting units configured to emit light by self-generating electricity, which are provided inside the bottom part and the correction protrusions,
wherein the bottom part includes:
a pad provided inside the bottom part;
a heating line arranged zigzag on one side surface of the pad;
a power transmission portion configured to receive power from an outside so that the power transmission portion is connected to an end portion of the heating line and provided to be exposed to the outside of the bottom part and; and
an acupressure portion configured to perform acupressure on skin by a plurality of protrusions formed on the upper surface of the bottom part in contact with a part of the skin between a sole and toes,
wherein the correction protrusions include:
a first protrusion configured to protrude between a big toe and a long toe;
a second protrusion configured to protrude between the long toe and a third toe;
a third protrusion configured to protrude between the third toe and a fourth toe; and
a fourth protrusion configured to protrude between the fourth toe and a little toe,
wherein upper edges of the first, second, third, and fourth protrusion are formed in chamfer shapes and edges formed in the chamfer shapes are formed round, sides of the first, second, third, and fourth protrusion in contact with sides of the toes are formed to be recessed toward an inside of the first, second, third, and fourth protrusion to cover the sides of the toes,
wherein the connection part includes:
a first connecting bridge configured to connect the upper ends of the second protrusion and the third protrusion; and
a second connecting bridge configured to connect the upper ends of the third protrusion and the fourth protrusion,
wherein one end of the first connecting bridge is connected to the second protrusion and the other end is connected to the third protrusion while a first coupling protrusion inserted and coupled to a first recessed groove formed in an upper surface of the third protrusion is formed at the other end, and
wherein one end of the second connecting bridge is connected to the third protrusion and the other end is connected to the fourth protrusion while a second coupling protrusion inserted and coupled to a second recessed groove formed in an upper surface of the fourth protrusion is formed at the other end,
wherein a light emitting unit of the light emitting units includes:
a piezoelectric element provided inside the bottom part and the correction protrusions and configured to self-generate electricity when an external force is applied thereto;
a thin film battery which stores power generated from the piezoelectric element; and
a light emitting diode (LED) provided on an upper surface of the correction protrusions, configured to receive the power stored in the thin film battery, and configured to emit light, and
wherein the toe corrector further includes:
a logo part bonded on an upper surface of at least one of the correction protrusions and a logo is printed on an upper surface of the logo part; and
a fragrance emitting layer formed on the upper surface of the correction protrusions by applying a mixture in which a fragrance is added to a mixed UV coating agent, the mixed UV coating agent comprising:
an ultraviolet curable oligomer which influences physical properties to form a coating film for a surface on the upper surface of the correction protrusions,
an ultraviolet curable monomer which is a diluent reacting with the oligomer,
a photoinitiator which induces polymerization of the oligomer and the monomer, and
an additive which is chemically combined with a coating film formed by the oligomer and the monomer to improve durability or slipperiness of the surface on the upper surface of the correction protrusions.
