PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a supporter for the calf, which can cope with leg cramp, resolves edema or lassitude similarly as a conventional one, and can reliably keep initial state in which it is worn.SOLUTION: A supporter for a calf comprises: a cylindrical supporter body 1 composed of freely expandable fabric that elastically deforms and is brought into close contact with a surface of a lower leg part from below the knee to the ankle and an auxiliary belt body 2 encircling the supporter body 1. The auxiliary belt body 2 is configured in such a way that free end parts of a pair of first belt piece 3 which are disposed in almost a horizontal direction and formed by adhering distal ends immovably to an upper part in a front surface center of the supporter body 1 and provided opposed to each other via the supporter body 1 are connected to free end parts of a pair of slant-shaped second belt pieces 4 formed by adhering distal ends immovably to a lower part of the distal end parts of the first belt pieces 3 in the front surface center, via an intermediate piece 7 which elastically deforms and expands. An auxiliary belt body 2 tongue-shaped piece 8 is superimposed on the intermediate piece 7, and a male material of a hook-and-loop fastener is provided on a reverse surface of the tongue-shaped piece 8.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】こむら返りの発生に対応でき、しかも、従前例と同様にむくみやだるさを解消し、身に付けた当初の状態を確実に維持できるふくらはぎ用サポータを提供する。【解決手段】膝下から足首間の下脚部の表面に密接させる、弾性変形して自在に伸縮する布地から成る、筒状のサポータ本体1と、サポータ本体1を取り囲む補助ベルト体2とで成る。補助ベルト体2は、サポータ本体1の前面中央の上部に基端を止着してサポータ本体1を介して相対設した、一対の、略水平方向に配した第一ベルト片3´の自由端部と、前面中央の、第一ベルト片3´の基端部より下部に基端を止着してサポータ本体1を介して相対設した、一対の、傾斜状の第二ベルト片4´の自由端部を弾性変形して伸縮する仲介片7を介して互いに接続して構成する。補助ベルト体2舌状片8を仲介片7に重ね合わせ、舌状片8の裏面に、面状ファスナの雄材を設ける。【選択図】図5
