Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sock, in particular for use in sports activities, which has a padding in the region of the Achilles tendon which is formed by at least two cushions, wherein between the cushions in each case a substantially horizontally oriented joint is formed.
  • the human feet are usually housed in sturdy shoes. In addition, they are often surrounded by socks. Due to the many and fast movements, sporty activities result in increased friction of the foot in the shoe, combined with dynamic shock loads. This particularly affects the area of the protruding Achilles tendon. Due to the usually hard edge of the shoe upper, which rests depending on footwear at different heights on the Achilles tendon, this can also be extremely loaded by the punctually attacking friction and shock. This can lead to premature fatigue of the foot as well as abrasions and damage to the Achilles tendon.
  • the additionally processed material results in thermal insulation which is undesirable because climate control in socks, particularly in athletic activities, is of great importance in preventing premature fatigue and blistering.
  • the invention aims to remedy this situation.
  • the invention is based on the one hand to ensure mobility in the Achilles tendon while maintaining the protection of the Achilles tendon, on the other hand to allow an improvement of the air conditioning in the Achilles tendon.
  • this object is achieved in that the cushions have a bent shape in the direction of the heel region, and that the outermost ends of the cushions are bent down into a region in the direction of the heel region, which lies below the highest point of the adjacent cushion ,
  • a sock especially for sporting activities, created that further improves the protection of the Achilles tendon in the shoe.
  • By provided between the pads joints is while maintaining the Achilles tendon protection improves mobility in the area of the Achilles tendon, as the sock thus has a kind of "predetermined kinking points" in the area of the heel.
  • an improvement of the air conditioning in the area of the Achilles tendon is made possible because on the one hand not always provided additional material for the protection of the Achilles tendon, on the other hand, the joints assume the function of ventilation channels.
  • the curved shape is also a very good shield against the sock surrounding footwear created and caused a uniform pressure distribution.
  • the pads are divided by a vertically oriented web. Through the bridge, which is behind the cushions, the pads are held on the side of the Achilles tendon in an optimal position. In addition, a distance between Achilles tendon and shoe is achieved, whereby friction and shock loads can be kept away from the Achilles tendon.
  • the web is formed in a further embodiment of the invention in the form of a pad which has a smaller thickness than the pads.
  • the additional padding of the bridge further enhances the protection of the Achilles tendon.
  • it is ensured by the smaller thickness of the web that the distance pads reliably maintain their position on both sides of the Achilles tendon even during extreme sporting activities.
  • the Achilles tendon itself is additionally protected by the padding of the bridge against frictional and shock loads.
  • the pad in shape of the anatomical shape of the foot are aligned in the Achilles tendon.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 are not part of the invention.
  • the sock chosen as an exemplary embodiment consists of a foot part 1 and a shaft 2.
  • the foot part 1 has a toe area 11, a heel area 12 and an access area 13 located between the toe and heel area.
  • the regions 11, 12 and 13 can, as shown in the exemplary embodiment, be made of reinforced material.
  • the use of material combinations such as virgin wool with Elastomaschinetechnikstöffen, such as elastane, is possible.
  • the arrangement of additional pads or Paddings in the above areas is possible.
  • the shaft 2 is provided at its end facing away from the foot part 1 with a collar 21.
  • the shaft 2 is provided with cushions 22, wherein in the example shown bent cushions 22 are provided in the direction of the cuff 21; other forms of upholstery - for example, Stabpadding - are possible.
  • a padding is provided in the area of the Achilles tendon.
  • the padding is formed by at least two pads 24; in the embodiment of the Figures 1 and 2 the padding is formed by three pads 24.
  • the pads 24 have a curved shape and each have different dimensions.
  • the pads 24 are bent in the direction of the heel area 12.
  • the extreme ends of the pad 24 are up in one Area bent in the direction of the heel region 12 downward, which is below the highest point of the adjacent pad 24.
  • the pad 24 adjacent the heel area 12 has the largest dimensions of all the pads 24.
  • the shape of the joints 25 is dependent on the shape of the pad 24th
  • the shape of the pad 24 is adapted to the anatomy of the foot in the area of the Achilles tendon.
  • the pads 24 begin at the heel area 12 and terminate narrower in the area of the collar 21.
  • the pad 24 adjacent the heel area 12 extend with their lateral ends into the cavity of the foot formed between the Achilles tendon and the ankle, thereby providing very good support of the foot in the shoe is caused.
  • the pads 24 each have a substantially horizontally aligned joint 25.
  • the pad 24 is divided by a vertically oriented web 26.
  • the web 26 also extends between the heel region 12 and the waistband 21, which receives the Achilles tendon.
  • the pads 24 are formed such that they protrude from the web 26. This ensures that the Achilles tendon has sufficient distance to the surrounding footwear. Friction and impact are absorbed directly by the pads 24 without stressing the Achilles tendon.
  • the web 26 may also be formed in the form of a pad, which has a smaller thickness than the adjacent pads 24th
  • the sock can also be equipped with a - not shown - X-cross bandage, which consists of an elastic climate-regulating fabric is trained.
  • the X-Cross Bandage supports the ankle in the transition area between leg and foot.
  • the sock can also be provided with an air duct (not shown), which as a rule extends from the access area 13 to the collar 21 and is formed from climate-regulating net knit fabric.
  • the air duct helps to drain moisture upwards from the entrance area.
  • Such an air duct can also be provided on the inside of the leg and the outside of the leg on the sock.
  • the pads are generally made of plastic yarns or compound fabrics or yarn or similar materials.
  • the upholstery of the sock made of hollow-core fibers, which are wound with wool or cotton.
  • the hollow-chamber plastic yarns are particularly strong shock and pressure damping.
  • the appearance area 13 may be made of microfiber knit which helps to reduce the abrasion. Also in the toe and heel area, depending on the requirement, the footbed is made of microfibre.
