Definitions

• the invention relates to a sock, in particular for use in sports activities, with a shaft and a foot part, which has a toe and a heel area and a tread area located between toe and heel area, and which is provided with a bandage.
• the human feet are usually surrounded by socks.
• ring bandages on socks or stockings. These are each provided with a tubular cross-section.
• the so-called bandages are used to support the joints during sports activities. They usually meet the requirements placed on them.
• the bandages do not take into account the basically narrow cross section of the foot in the region above the ankle and its extension in the direction of the foot.
• the part of the bandage facing the foot due to the same diameter as the part facing away from the foot, will be too tight in the expanding area of the foot. This can lead to bruises.
• the sock is worn directly on the skin, it can also lead to skin abrasions. In any case, the performance of the athlete is reduced.
• the invention aims to remedy this situation.
• the invention has for its object to provide a sock, which takes special account of the anatomy of the foot and optimally adapted to the conditions in the transition between foot and tibia. According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the bandage has a conical design.
• the invention provides a sock, especially for sporting activities, which has a funnel-shaped design and takes special account of the anatomical conditions in the transition between the tibia and the foot. It is characterized pressure points in the area of the foot facing the end of the bandage avoided.
• the formation of the bandage causes it to attach itself more firmly to the ankle when exercised, thereby additionally increasing the protective function. At the same time, the bandage prevents the shaft from slipping towards the foot.
• the bandage forms on its side facing away from the tread area the conclusion of the shaft. This creates the opportunity to dispense with the usually provided on socks federal government. This is particularly suitable for very short socks, such as special running socks or tennis socks. It is well taken into account the respective trends of sports, while a high support function is achieved.
• a web is provided.
• the web extends substantially from the region of the ankle in the direction of the area of occurrence, wherein it is most preferably connected with its free ends with the bandage.
• the provision of the bridge leads to a further fixation of the bandage and thereby to an even better fit of the sock on the foot. Due to the in principle U-shaped design of the web under the tread also an increased lateral support function is caused.
• the sock chosen as an 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 areas 11, 12 and 13 may, as in the embodiment shown to be made of reinforced material. The use of material combinations such as virgin wool with elastofiber materials is also possible.
• the shaft 2 is provided at its end applied to the foot part 1 in the embodiments of Figures 1 and 2 with a collar 21.
• the sock In the area of the ankle, the sock is provided with a bandage 3.
• the bandage 3 is formed of an elastic and also climate-regulating tissue. Elastane, Lycra or other materials of differing elasticity are preferably used.
• the bandage 3 is continuously encircling and interwoven with the sock forming tissue. It has a conical design and is therefore different in width in diameter. On its side facing away from the entrance area 13, the bandage 3 has a smaller diameter than on the side facing the access area 13, that is, facing away from the collar 21. It results from this a funnel-shaped design of the bandage 3.
• This training causes the bandage 3 applies during exercise more firmly to the ankle, whereby the support effect is additionally reinforced. At the same time, this prevents the sock from sliding in the direction of the foot part 1 during exercise, which increases wearing comfort.
• a web 4 is provided.
• the web 4 extends substantially from the region of the ankle in the direction of the access region 13 and traverses this transversely to the longitudinal center line of the appearance region 13.
• the web 4 therefore surrounds the foot from the ankle of the inside to the ankle of the outside, in which he the foot in this area - in the view from behind U-shaped - encircled.
• the web 4 With its free ends of the web 4 is connected to the bandage 3.
• the web 4 causes a further fixation of the bandage 3 and leads to an even more accurate fit of the sock.
• the web 4 exerts a force on the bandage in the direction of the area of occurrence 13, the bandage 3 remains in its predetermined position due to its conical shape.
• the sock has no federal government.
• the bandage 3 assumes the function of the federal government.
• the bandage 3 therefore forms on its side facing away from the area of occurrence 13 the conclusion of the shaft 2. This embodiment is particularly recommended for short running socks, tennis socks and the like.
