Abstract

The device has a pair of identical large quilted straps (1) each including wide and narrow parts (1d, 1e) separated by a seam (1c). The wide part holds ankle of a person, and the narrow part forms a twine (2) such that an opposed placement of the straps around the ankle permits a self locked grip by crossed superposition of the straps. A single node forms a buckle (2a) that connects the straps for being prolonged by a series of nodes (2b). The nodes (2b) form hooking loops hooked to an outer support (3) or to a long anchor master (2c) for being hooked to remote supports.

Description

-1- La présente invention concerne un dispositif de traction de laThe present invention relates to a traction device of the

cheville pour assouplir les muscles à des fins sportives ou médicales. Les dispositifs actuels de maintien de la cheville avec système d'accroche incorporé utilisés en kinésithérapie et plus particulièrement en pouliethérapie sont destinés à être reliés soit à un poids de quelques kilos pour des exercices de musculation soit à une traction dite de suspension qui permet de compenser une perte de force des membres inférieurs. Aucun d'entre eux ne résiste à des tractions égales ou supérieurs au poids du corps adulte et corpulent. Il manquait donc un dispositif permettant d'être étiré ou suspendu par les chevilles, de pose simple et rapide, sans nécessité de recours à un système de laçage ou de fermeture quelconque et adapté à toute taille de pied d'adulte ou d'adolescent Le dispositif, selon l'invention, permet de remédier à ce inconvénients. Il est constitué en effet, selon une première caractéristique, d'une paire de sangles larges molletonnées en forme de boucle, la première étant identique à la deuxième, comportant chacune deux parties séparées par une couture, à savoir une partie large qui permet la saisie de la cheville et une partie étroite qui constitue un passage pour une ficelle de sorte que le placement opposé des deux sangles autour de la cheville, l'une tournée vers la malléole externe, l'autre vers la malléole interne suivi d'une manoeuvre de retournement permet une prise auto bloquée par superposition croisée des sangles, alors qu'un simple noeud permet de réaliser une boucle qui solidarise les deux sangles pour se prolonger par une série de noeuds formant autant de boucles d'accrochages possibles à un support externe ou à une sangle longue de relais pour des accrochages à des supports éloignés. Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation - une largeur suffisante et un molletonnage interne permettent aux sangles destinées à passer autour des chevilles d'assurer une prise confortable et 30 non blessante. - un positionnement particulier des deux sangles caractérisé par un entrecroisement permet un auto blocage des sangles et une prise d'appui en double lasso de part et d'autres des malléoles. - une couture large et solide permet de transformer la sangle large en deux 35 boucles à fonction différente, l'une pour attraper la cheville, l'autre pour laisser passer une ficelle. 20 25 -2- - une ficelle nouée solidarise les deux sangles pour se prolonger ensuite par des noeuds réguliers destinés à s'accrocher à des supports extérieurs - un élément d'amortissement complémentaire peut permettre l'adaptation à des particularités anatomiques ou des déformations pathologiques. - la composition matérielle des éléments, la taille de section des ficelles, la largeur et l'épaisseur des sangles, la qualité des coutures sur les sangles et le choix d'un support d'accroché adapté permettent au dispositif de l'invention de résister à une traction supérieure au poids du poids du corps de l'utilisateur.  ankle to relax the muscles for sports or medical purposes. The current devices for maintaining the ankle with an attached attachment system used in physiotherapy and more particularly in pulley therapy are intended to be connected either to a weight of a few pounds for weight training exercises or to a so-called suspension traction that compensates for a loss of strength of the lower limbs. None of them withstand pulls equal to or greater than the weight of the adult body and corpulent. It lacked a device to be stretched or suspended by the ankles, simple and fast installation, without the need for any lacing or closure system and suitable for any height of adult or adolescent foot. device, according to the invention, overcomes this drawbacks. It consists in fact, according to a first feature, of a pair of wide loops loop-shaped, the first being identical to the second, each having two parts separated by a seam, namely a wide part that allows the seizure of the ankle and a narrow portion which constitutes a passage for a string so that the opposite placement of the two straps around the ankle, one facing the external malleolus, the other towards the internal malleolus followed by a maneuver of reversal allows self-locking by cross-layering of the straps, while a simple knot allows for a loop that secures the two straps to extend by a series of knots forming as many loops possible hooks to an external support or a long relay strap for clashes to distant supports. In particular embodiments - sufficient width and internal padding allow the straps to be passed around the ankles to provide a comfortable and non-offensive fit. - A particular positioning of the two straps characterized by a crisscrossing allows a self-locking straps and a support double lasso support on both sides of the malleolus. - A wide and sturdy seam can turn the wide strap into two loops with different function, one to catch the ankle, the other to let a string. A knotted string secures the two straps to then extend by regular knots for hanging on external supports - a complementary damping element may allow adaptation to anatomical features or pathological deformations . the material composition of the elements, the section size of the strings, the width and thickness of the straps, the quality of the seams on the straps and the choice of a suitable hooked support allow the device of the invention to withstand at a traction greater than the weight of the body weight of the user.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention : La figure 1 représente la composition du dispositif de l'invention: La figure 2 représente le dispositif de l'invention dans une de ses utilisations pratiques, ici pour un double accrochage latéral poignets-cheville.  The attached drawings illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 represents the composition of the device of the invention: FIG. 2 represents the device of the invention in one of its practical uses, here for a double lateral wrist-ankle lock.

En référence à ces dessins, et à titre d'exemple le dispositif est constitué d'une paire de sangles larges (1) d'environ 25 centimètres ou plus, en forme de boucle, cousue solidement sur une bande (1c) de 4 à 5 centimètres, à 2 centimètres d'une extrémité, assemblée par une ficelle en nylon (2a) de 20 à 30 centimètres ou plus de longueur et de 2 à 4 centimètres de section, comportant quelques noeuds (2b), cette ficelle pouvant être complétée ou remplacée par une sangle longue (2c). Les sangles larges (1) sont constituées par l'enroulement d'une bande de tissus synthétique à forte résistance cousue sur elle-même sur un côté contiennent une bande de mousse ou tout matériel d'amortissement.  Referring to these drawings, and by way of example the device consists of a pair of wide straps (1) of about 25 centimeters or more, loop-shaped, sewn firmly on a strip (1c) of 4 to 5 centimeters, 2 centimeters from one end, assembled by a nylon string (2a) 20 to 30 centimeters or more in length and 2 to 4 centimeters in section, with a few knots (2b), this string may be completed or replaced by a long strap (2c). The wide straps (1) are constituted by the winding of a high-strength synthetic fabric band sewn on itself on one side contain a strip of foam or any damping material.

La bande cousue (2) de 4 à 5 centimètres, à 2 centimètres d'une extrémité de chaque sangle divise la sangle en deux parties à fonction distincte, la plus large étant destinée à entourer et tracter la cheville (1d), la plus étroite réalisant la coulisse (le) d'environ 2 centimètres dans laquelle la ficelle est introduite pour relier les deux sangles.  The sewn band (2) 4 to 5 centimeters, 2 centimeters from one end of each strap divides the strap into two parts with distinct function, the widest being intended to surround and tow the ankle (1d), the narrowest making the slide (le) of about 2 centimeters in which the string is introduced to connect the two straps.

La ficelle d'au moins 20 à 30 centimètres qui relie les deux sangles en passant à l'intérieur de leur coulisse comporte quelques noeuds (2b) qui permettent d'ajuster la distance d'accroche à la fixation externe. La ficelle d'accrochage (2b) peut être complétée par une sangle avec fermoir à clapet, longue de plusieurs mètres qui permet d'atteindre des supports d'accrochage éloignés (3) comme dans le cas sur la figure 2. -3- L'effet global du dispositif consiste en une prise articulaire sur les malléoles, réalisée simplement en croisant par l'arrière les 2 sangles engagées par le pied jusqu'à la cheville. Ce croisement des sangles provoque une superposition d'une sangle sur l'autre ce qui a pour effet une prise stable et confortable. L'invention concerne donc un dispositif simple et solide permettant à une personne de se suspendre ou d'être étirée par le ou les chevilles quelque soit la taille de son pied pour réaliser notamment des exercices d'étirement musculaire en chaîne et en décoaptation articulaire. Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à la récupération et l'entretien de la souplesse corporelle à des fins médicales, sportives ou de bien-être. Il concerne donc les établissements de rééducation et réadaptation, les cabinets de médecine physique et de kinésithérapie, les centres sportifs et de remise en forme ainsi que la pratique à domicile. 20 25 30 15 35  The string of at least 20 to 30 centimeters which connects the two straps passing inside their slide has a few knots (2b) which adjust the distance of attachment to the external fixation. The hanging string (2b) can be completed by a strap with clasp valve, several meters long which can reach distant hanging brackets (3) as in the case in Figure 2. -3- L The overall effect of the device consists of an articular grip on the malleoli, performed simply by crossing from behind the 2 straps engaged by the foot to the ankle. This crossing of the straps causes a superposition of one strap on the other which has the effect of a stable and comfortable grip. The invention therefore relates to a simple and solid device allowing a person to suspend or be stretched by the ankle or ankles regardless of the size of his foot to perform including stretching muscle exercises in the chain and articular decoaptation. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the recovery and maintenance of body flexibility for medical, sports or wellness purposes. It therefore concerns rehabilitation and rehabilitation institutions, physical medicine and physiotherapy practices, sports and fitness centers and home-based practice. 20 25 30 35 35
