Description

Der Gegenstand der Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine gestrickte Socke mit einem Zehenbereich, dessen Rand im wesentlichen einem Verlauf von Zehen folgt, sowie auf ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer gestrickten Socke.The subject of the invention relates to a knitted sock with a toe area, the edge of which substantially follows a course of toes, and to a method for producing a knitted sock.

Eine solche Ausbildung einer Socke ist beispielsweise durch das US-Patent 3,217,336 bekannt. Dieses Patent offenbart, daß der Zehenbereich der gestrickten Socke im wesentlichen so ausgeformt ist, daß dieser beim Tragen dem Verlauf von Zehen folgt. Entsprechend ist zwischen einer Socke für einen rechten Fuß und einer Socke für einen linken Fuß zu unterscheiden.Such a design of a sock is for example by the U.S. Patent 3,217,336 known. This patent discloses that the toe area of the knitted sock is substantially shaped to follow the course of toes when worn. Similarly, a distinction is made between a sock for a right foot and a sock for a left foot.

Obwohl der Vorschlag nach dem US-Patent 3,217,336 seit geraumer Zeit bekannt ist, haben sich derartige Socken im Markt nicht durchgesetzt. Gemäß dem US-Patent 3,217,336 wird der Zehenbereich der Socke aus einem einzigen Faden gestrickt.Although the proposal after the U.S. Patent 3,217,336 has been known for some time, such socks have not prevailed in the market. According to the U.S. Patent 3,217,336 The toe area of the sock is knitted from a single thread.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Zielsetzung zugrunde, eine gestrickte Socke mit einem Zehenbereich, dessen Rand im wesentlichen einem Verlauf von Zehen folgt, so auszubilden, daß diese einen erhöhten Tragekomfort aufweist.On this basis, the present invention, the object underlying a knitted sock with a toe area, the edge of which essentially follows a course of toes, so that it has an increased comfort.

Ein weiteres Ziel der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren anzugeben, durch welches eine Socke mit einem Rand, der im wesentlichen einem Verlauf der Zehen folgt, gestrickt werden kann, wobei die Socke einen erhöhten Tragekomfort aufweist. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 bzw. des Anspruchs 7 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Socke sind Gegenstand der jeweiligen abhängigen Ansprüche.A further object of the invention is to provide a method by which a sock can be knitted with an edge substantially following a course of the toes, the sock having an increased wearing comfort. This object is achieved by the features of claim 1 and of claim 7. Advantageous developments and refinements of the sock according to the invention are the subject of the respective dependent claims.

Aus der US-Patentschrift 2,144,563 sind Socken bekannt, deren Zehenbereich aus einem Gründfaden und einem weiteren Faden gestrickt ist, wobei der Rand des Zehenbereichs jedoch nicht dem Verlauf der Zehenfolgt.From the U.S. Patent 2,144,563 Socks are known, the toe area is knitted from a Gründfaden and another thread, but the edge of the toe area does not follow the course of the toes.

Die erfindungsgemäße gestrickte Socke mit einem Zehenbereich, dessen Rand im wesentlichen einem Verlauf von Zehen folgt, zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß der Zehenbereich durchgehend gestrickt ist. Durch diese erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung der gestrickten Socke wird im Zehenbereich ein erhöhter Tragekomfort erreicht, da in diesem Zehenbereich keine als störend empfundenen Nähte vorhanden sind.The knitted sock according to the invention with a toe region whose edge substantially follows a course of toes, is characterized in that the toe region is knitted throughout. This embodiment of the knitted sock according to the invention achieves increased wearing comfort in the toe area, since there are no seams perceived as disturbing in this toe area.

Insbesondere wird auf Nähte verzichtet, die zur Anlage an die große bzw. die kleine Zehe gelangen könnten. Diese Nähte werden als besonders störend empfunden, wenn ein Fuß bekleidet mit der gestrickten Socke in einem im Zehenbereich geschlossenen Schuhwerk ist, da das Schuhwerk, welches eng anliegend ist, die Naht gegen die große bzw. die kleine Zehe drückt.In particular, it dispenses with seams that could come to rest on the large or small toe. These seams are found to be particularly troublesome when a foot clad with the knitted sock is in a footwear closed toe area because the footwear, which is snug, presses the seam against the big toe or little toe.

An dieser Stelle sei darauf hingewiesen, daß unter dem Begriff Socke auch Strümpfe zu verstehen sind. Eine Socke im Sinne der Erfindung ist jegliche Fußbekleidung, die gestrickt ist und einen Zehenbereich aufweist.It should be noted at this point that the term sock also includes stockings. A sock in the sense of the invention is any footwear that is knitted and has a toe area.

Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, daß der Zehenbereich so ausgestaltet ist, daß die aufeinander zugeneigten Ränder des Zehenbereiches unter unterschiedlichen Winkeln bezüglich einer gemeinsamen Basis geneigt sind. Hierbei ist vorzugsweise der Randbereich, der beim Tragen der Socke der großen Zehe benachbart ist, stärker geneigt als der gegenüberliegende Randbereich.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention it is proposed that the toe area is designed so that the mutually inclined edges of the toe area are inclined at different angles with respect to a common base. In this case, preferably, the edge region, which is adjacent to the wearing of the sock of the big toe, more inclined than the opposite edge region.

Zu einer weiteren Erhöhung des Tragekomforts der erfindungsgemäßen Socke wird vorgeschlagen, daß der Zehenbereich aus einem Grundfaden und wenigstens einem weiteren Faden gestrickt ist. Durch den wenigstens einen zusätzlichen Faden wird eine Polsterung des Zehenbereichs erreicht.To further increase the wearing comfort of the sock according to the invention, it is proposed that the toe area be knitted from a basic thread and at least one further thread. By at least one additional thread padding of the toe area is achieved.

Vorzugsweise ist der wenigstens eine weitere Faden mit einer höheren Schlingdichte gestrickt als der Grundfaden. Die Socke als solche weist vorzugsweise einen durchgehenden Grundfaden auf. Durch die höhere Schlingdichte des wenigstens einen weiteren Fadens wird eine Polsterung des Zehenbereiches mit einfachen Mitteln erreicht.Preferably, the at least one further thread is knitted with a higher loop density than the base thread. The sock as such preferably has a continuous ground thread. Due to the higher sling density of the at least one further thread padding of the toe area is achieved by simple means.

Die gestrickte Socke ist im Zehenbereich so ausgebildet, daß diese im wesentlichen der Außenkontur der Zehen folgt. Entsprechend sind für einen linken Fuß und für einen rechten Fuß unterschiedlich konturierte Socken notwendig. Um die Unterscheidung zwischen einer linken und einer rechten Socke zu erleichtern wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Socke wenigstens eine optische und/oder haptische Markierung aufweist. Vorzugsweise ist die Markierung eingestrickt.The knitted sock is formed in the toe area so that it follows substantially the outer contour of the toes. Accordingly, different contoured socks are necessary for a left foot and for a right foot. In order to facilitate the distinction between a left and a right sock, it is proposed that the sock have at least one optical and / or haptic marking. Preferably, the mark is knitted.

Zur Herstellung einer gestrickten Socke mit einem Zehenbereich, dessen Rand im wesentlichen einem Verlauf von Zehen folgt, wobei der Zehenbereich durchgehend gestrickt ist, wird ein Verfahren vorgeschlagen, bei dem die Socke auf einer Rundstrickmaschine gestrickt wird. Es wird zunächst ein zylindrischer Abschnitt durch Rundstricken gebildet. An den zylindrischen Abschnitt schließt sich der Zehenbereich an, dessen Rand im wesentlichen einem Verlauf von Zehen folgt. Die Ausbildung des Zehenbereichs erfolgt bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren dadurch, daß bis zu einem Mittelbereich die Maschenanzahl der einzelnen Maschenreihen beidseitig abgemindert werden. Danach wird die Maschenanzahl der folgenden Maschenreihen beidseitig vergrößert. Der so ausgebildete Zehenbereich wird danach zusammengenäht.In order to make a knitted sock with a toe area, the edge of which substantially follows a course of toes with the toe area being knitted throughout, a method is proposed in which the sock is knitted on a circular knitting machine. First, a cylindrical section is formed by circular knitting. The cylindrical portion is adjoined by the toe area, the edge of which follows substantially a course of toes. The formation of the toe area in the method according to the invention is characterized in that up to a central area, the number of stitches of the individual rows of stitches are reduced on both sides. Thereafter, the number of stitches of the following courses is increased on both sides. The thus formed toe area is then sewn together.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung des Verfahrens wird vorgeschlagen, daß in jeder Maschenreihe die Anzahl der Maschen gleichmäßig abgemindert wird. Vorteilhafterweise erfolgt die Zunahme beidseitig mit je zwei Nadeln bis zum Ende des Zehenbereichs.According to an advantageous embodiment of the method is proposed that in each course, the number of stitches is uniformly reduced. Advantageously, the increase takes place on both sides with two needles each to the end of the toe area.

Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens wird vorgeschlagen, daß zwei Maschenreihen beidseitig abgemindert werden. Vorzugsweise werden die ersten beiden Maschenreihen abgemindert. Auf diese Maschenreihen folgt eine Maschenreihe, für die mittels eines Zunahmefingers einseitig wenigstens zwei Nadeln zugeschaltet werden, so daß die Anzahl der Maschen erhöht wird. Auf diese Maschenreihen folgen zwei Maschenreihen, die beidseitig abgemindert werden. Die Abminderung und die Zunahme der Maschen in den einzelnen Maschenreihen wird abwechselnd wiederholt bis zu einem Mittelbereich. Die Zunahme erfolgt nach dem umgekehrten Prinzip. Nach jeder dritten Reihe setzt der Zunahmefinger einseitig, wahlweise rechts oder links, aus. Vorzugsweise wird im Mittelbereich eine Standardreihe gestrickt.According to a further advantageous embodiment The method proposes that two courses be reduced on both sides. Preferably, the first two courses are reduced. Following this course of stitches is a course of stitches for which at least two needles are connected on one side by means of an increase finger, so that the number of stitches is increased. These courses are followed by two courses, which are reduced on both sides. The reduction and increase in the stitches in each course is repeated alternately up to a middle area. The increase follows the reverse principle. After every third row, the index finger unfolds on one side, either right or left. Preferably, a standard series is knitted in the middle region.

Gemäß einer noch weiteren vorteilhaften Ausbildung des Verfahrens wird vorgeschlagen, daß in einem ersten Schritt in eine Maschenreihe wahlweise an einem Rand eine Nadel mittels eines abgeänderten Mittelfingers zugeschaltet wird. In einem weiteren Schritt wird auf diese Maschenreihe folgend eine Maschenreihe gebildet, die beidseitig mittels des Minderfingers abgemindert wird. Die einzelnen Schritte wiederholen sich abwechselnd bis zum Mittelbereich. Danach erfolgt eine Zunahme der Maschen, wobei nach jeder zweiten Reihe durch den Zunahmefinger wahlweise an dem einen oder dem anderen Rand eine Nadel in Tätigkeit gebracht wird.According to yet another advantageous embodiment of the method, it is proposed that, in a first step, a needle is selectively switched into a row of stitches by means of a modified middle finger at one edge. In a further step, following this course of stitches, a row of stitches is formed, which is reduced on both sides by means of the lower finger. The individual steps are repeated alternately up to the middle area. Thereafter, an increase of the stitches, wherein after every other row by the increasing finger optionally at one or the other edge of a needle is brought into action.

Bevorzugt wird ein Verfahren, bei dem mittels eines abgeänderten Minderfingers zwei Nadeln beidseitig außer Tätigkeit gebracht werden. Mit einem abgeänderten Zunahmefinger wird bis zum Mittelbereich beidseitig je eine Nadel in Tätigkeit gebracht. Ab dem Mittelbereich werden die Minderfinger abgeschaltet. In den nachfolgenden Reihen werden beidseitig je eine Nadel in Tätigkeit gebracht.Preference is given to a method in which two needles are brought out of operation on both sides by means of an amended lower finger. With a modified index finger, a needle is brought into action on both sides up to the middle area. From the middle area the Minderfinger are switched off. In the following rows, a needle is brought into action on both sides.

Gemäß einer noch weiteren vorteilhaften Ausbildung des Verfahrens wird vorgeschlagen, daß mittels eines Minderfingers beidseitig zwei Nadeln außer Tätigkeit gesetzt werden. Mittels eines Zunahmefingers wird an einem Rand eine Nadel in Tätigkeit gesetzt, wobei ab dem Mittelbereich der Minderfinger abgeschaltet wird und in den nachfolgenden Maschenreihen wenigstens eine Nadel an einem Rand in Tätigkeit gesetzt wird.According to yet another advantageous embodiment of the method, it is proposed that two needles be put out of action on both sides by means of a reduced finger. By means of an increase finger, a needle is put into action on one edge, wherein the lower finger is switched off from the central region and in the subsequent courses at least one needle is set in operation on one edge.

Figur 1 zeigt schematisch und in einer Draufsicht eine Teilansicht einer linken Socke 1. Die Socke 1 weist einen Zehenbereich 3 auf. FIG. 1 shows schematically and in a plan view a partial view of a left sock 1. The sock 1 has a toe area 3.

Die Socke 1 ist gestrickt. Der Zehenbereich 3 ist durchgehend gestrickt. Der Zehenbereich 3 weist einen Rand 4 auf, dessen Verlauf im wesentlichen einem Verlauf von Zehen entspricht. In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Zehenbereich 3 im wesentlichen trapezförmig ausgebildet. Der Zehenbereich 3 weist einen Randabschnitt 5 auf, der beim Tragen der Socke an der großen Zehe des linken Fußes anliegt. Die Neigung des Randabschnittes 5 ist gegenüber einer gemeinsam gedachten Basis 7, die gestrichelt dargestellt ist, stärker als die Neigung des gegenüberliegenden Randabschnitts 6. Der Rand 4 ist nahtfrei, so daß beim Tragen der Socke im Zehenbereich keine durch eine Naht bedingte Druckstellen entstehen können, so daß der Tragekomfort der Socke gegenüber den herkömmlichen Socken wesentlich erhöht wird.The sock 1 is knitted. The toe area 3 is knitted throughout. The toe area 3 has an edge 4, the course of which substantially corresponds to a course of toes. In the illustrated embodiment, the toe region 3 is formed substantially trapezoidal. The toe area 3 has an edge portion 5, which abuts when wearing the sock on the big toe of the left foot. The inclination of the edge portion 5 is compared to a common imaginary base 7, which is shown in dashed, stronger than the inclination of the opposite edge portion 6. The edge 4 is seamless, so that when wearing the sock in the toe area caused by a seam pressure points can not arise so that the wearing comfort of the sock compared to conventional socks is substantially increased.

Figur 2 zeigt eine beispielhafte Ausgestaltung einer rechten Socke in einer Draufsicht. Die Ausgestaltung der rechten Socke 2 in der Fig. 2 entspricht im wesentlichen der Ausgestaltung der linken Socke 1 nach Fig. 1. FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of a right sock in a plan view. The embodiment of the right sock 2 in the Fig. 2 corresponds essentially to the embodiment of the left sock 1 after Fig. 1 ,

Figur 3 zeigt schematisch eine linke Socke. Die Socke 1 weist einen Schaft 8 auf, an den sich ein Fußteil 9 mit dem Zehenbereich 3 anschließt. Die Socke ist aus einem Grundfaden 10 gestrickt. Im Zehenbereich 3 ist wenigstens ein weiterer Faden eingestrickt, wodurch der Zehenbereich 3 gepolstert ist. Zusätzliche Polsterungen der Socke 1 können vorgesehen sein. Insbesondere sind die Polsterungen so ausgebildet, daß diese dem anatomischen Verlauf eines Fußes entsprechen. FIG. 3 schematically shows a left sock. The sock 1 has a shaft 8, to which a foot part 9 connects with the toe region 3. The sock is knitted from a basic thread 10. At least one further thread is knitted in the toe area 3, as a result of which the toe area 3 is padded. Additional padding of the sock 1 may be provided. In particular, the upholstery are designed so that they correspond to the anatomical course of a foot.

Figur 3 zeigt auch, daß der Schaft 8 mit einer Markierung 11 versehen ist, die im Schaft 8 eingestrickt ist. FIG. 3 also shows that the shaft 8 is provided with a mark 11 which is knitted in the shaft 8.

Figur 4 zeigt eine Abwicklung eines Zehenbereichs in einer Draufsicht. Die Socke wird auf einer sogenannten Rundstrickmaschine gestrickt. Zunächst wird ein nicht dargestellter zylindrischer Abschnitt durch Rundstricken gebildet. Der Zehenbereich 3 wird durch Abmindern Nadel um Nadel beidseitig mittels eines Minderfingers bis zu einem Mittelbereich 12 gebildet. Die Zunahme ist in der Figur 4 durch das Bezugszeichen 13 verdeutlicht. Die Socke mit dem Zehenbereich gemäß Fig. 4 ist nicht erfindungsgemäß. FIG. 4 shows a development of a toe area in a plan view. The sock is knitted on a so-called circular knitting machine. First, an unillustrated cylindrical portion is formed by circular knitting. The toe area 3 is formed by reducing needle to needle on both sides by means of a reduced finger to a central region 12. The increase is in the FIG. 4 clarified by the reference numeral 13. The sock with the toe area according to Fig. 4 is not according to the invention.

Durch die sich unterscheidende Abminderung und Zunahme wird ein Zehenbereich ausgebildet, der im wesentlichen einem Verlauf von Zehen folgt.By differing reduction and increase, a toe area is formed which substantially follows a course of toes.

Eine Möglichkeit, den Zehenbereich auszubilden, verdeutlicht die Figur 5. Die beiden ersten Reihen werden beidseitig mittels eines Minderfingers abgemindert. In der dritten Maschenreihe werden zusätzliche Nadeln, vorzugsweise zwei, zugeschaltet. Figur 5 zeigt, daß die Nadeln linker Hand zugeschaltet werden. Dieser Vorgang wiederholt sich bis zur drittletzten Reihe vor dem Mittelbereich 12. Nach einer Standardreihe werden in der letzten Reihe des Zehenmittelbereichs wieder zwei Nadeln einseitig, wahlweise rechts oder links, zugeschaltet. Die Zunahme erfolgt nach dem umgekehrten Prinzip. Nach jeder dritten Maschenreihe setzt der Zunahmefinger einseitig, wahlweise rechts oder links, aus.One way to train the toe area illustrates the FIG. 5 , The first two rows are reduced on both sides by means of a reduced finger. In the third course will be additional needles, preferably two, switched on. FIG. 5 shows that the needles are switched on the left hand. This process is repeated until the third last row in front of the central area 12. According to a standard series, two needles are again switched on one side, optionally on the right or left, in the last row of the toe center area. The increase follows the reverse principle. After every third row of stitches, the index finger sets on one side, either right or left.

Figur 6 zeigt eine weitere Abwicklung eines Zehenbereichs. Die erste Reihe des Zehenbereichs wird beidseitig mittels Minderfinger abgemindert. In der zweiten Maschenreihe wird zusätzlich mittels eines Zunahmefingers, wahlweise rechts oder links, eine Nadel zugeschaltet. In dem dargestellten Ausrührungsbeispiel ist rechter Hand eine Nadel zugeschaltet. Dieser Vorgang wiederholt sich bis zur vorletzten Reihe des Mittelbereichs 12. Danach wird bei 14 rechts oder links eine Nadel zugeschaltet. Die Zunahme der Maschen erfolgt nach dem umgekehrten Prinzip. Nach jeder zweiten Maschenreihe bringt der Zunahmefinger eine Nadel in Tätigkeit. Die Nadel kann wahlweise rechter oder linker Hand eingesetzt werden. Die gegenüberliegende Seite der Minderung arbeitet weiter. Der Zunahmefinger bringt dort zwei Nadeln in Tätigkeit, wie dies im rechten Teil der Figur 6 erkennbar ist. FIG. 6 shows a further development of a toe area. The first row of the toe area is reduced on both sides by means of reduced fingers. In the second course, a needle is additionally connected by means of an increase finger, either right or left. In the illustrated Ausrührungsbeispiel a right hand a needle is switched on. This process is repeated until the penultimate row of the central region 12. Thereafter, at 14 right or left a needle is switched on. The increase of the stitches follows the reverse principle. After every second course, the index finger brings a needle into action. The needle can be used either right or left hand. The opposite side of the reduction continues to work. The index finger brings two needles into action there, as in the right part of the FIG. 6 is recognizable.

Eine noch weitere Möglichkeit der Herstellung einer Socke wird nachfolgend anhand der in der Figur 7 dargestellten Abwicklung des Zehenbereichs erläutert. Mit 12 ist ein Mittelbereich des Zehenbereichs bezeichnet, um den herum die gegenüberliegenden Bereiche geklappt werden.Yet another way of making a sock is described below with reference to the FIG. 7 illustrated processing of the toe area explained. Denoted by 12 is a middle area of the toe area around which the opposing areas are folded.

Ab dem Mittelbereich werden die Minderfinger ausgeschaltet. In den folgenden Maschenreihen des Zehenbereichs werden beidseitig je eine Nadel in Tätigkeit gebracht.
Die Socke mit dem Zehenbereich gemäß Fig. 7 ist nicht erfindungsgemäß.From the middle area the Minderfinger are switched off. In the following courses of the toe area, a needle is brought into action on both sides.
The sock with the toe area according to Fig. 7 is not according to the invention.

Figur 8 veranschaulicht eine noch weitere Möglichkeit der Ausbildung eines Zehenbereichs. Die Darstellung zeigt den Zehenbereich als eine Abwicklung. Mittels eines abgeänderten Minderfingers werden zwei Nadeln beidseitig außer Tätigkeit gebracht. Mit einem Zunahmefinger wird eine Nadel in Tätigkeit gebracht. Die einzelnen Maschenreihen werden gestrickt bis zum Mittelbereich 12. Ab dem Mittelbereich werden die Minderfinger ausgeschaltet. In den nachfolgenden Maschenreihen werden wahlweise rechts oder links zwei Nadeln in Tätigkeit gebracht. Hieraus ergibt sich, daß die Steigung der Ränder bis zum Mittelbereich 12 unterschiedlich ist. FIG. 8 illustrates yet another way of forming a toe area. The illustration shows the toe area as a settlement. By means of a modified Minderfingers two needles are brought on both sides out of action. With an increase finger a needle is brought into action. The individual courses are knitted up to the middle section 12. From the middle section the lower fingers are switched off. In the subsequent courses, two needles are put into action either on the right or on the left. It follows that the slope of the edges is different up to the central region 12.
