Definitions

  • the innovation covers the field of legwear, more particularly the technical sock category used by athletes and people living active lifestyles.
  • a sock is a type of clothing used to cover a wearer's feet with the aim of providing comfort inside shoes. This comfort can be provided by way of a softer cushioned feel, by removal of sweat, and/or by providing warmth in colder environments.
  • Sweat is a natural way to facilitate cooling of body temperature, since evaporation of sweat is an endothermic (i.e., heat absorbing) process. During exercise, body temperature rises, and may result in excessive sweating. Sweat must be evaporated to cause endothermic cooling of a body. Since this evaporation is an integral part of sweat cooling, it may be desirable for clothing articles to have the ability to transfer moisture through them in order to promote evaporation of sweat.
  • socks contend with more difficult conditions, since socks are tightly fitted against a wearer's skin and are typically covered with shoes having limited breathability. Such conditions result in less evaporation and prolonged wetness, which in turn result in increased friction against the wearer's skin - giving rise to blisters as well as bacteria growth, bad odor, and other disorders.
  • socks include at least a sole portion thereof comprising a specialized layered fabric including a dual face or dual layer material (e.g., terry material) with a hydrophobic inner face (or layer) and a hydrophilic outer face (or layer).
  • the sole portion of the sock corresponds to a sole portion of a wearer's foot having a maximum number of sweat glands and almost no airflow.
  • the inner face (or layer) of the sock is arranged for placement in contact with skin of a wearer.
  • a sock according to the present invention may include a dual face or dual layer material (e.g., terry material) at at least a sole portion thereof, with the inner face or layer including a hydrophobic yarn, the outer face or layer including a hydrophilic yarn, and the inner face or layer being arranged for placement in contact with skin of a wearer.
  • This construction essentially provides low absorbency fibers along the inner face (or layer) and high absorbency fibers along the outer face (or layer).
  • Such construction is designed to transport moisture away from skin of a wearer via absorption using the hydrophobic yarn of the inner face or layer, and to spread moisture within the outer face via absorption using the hydrophilic yarn of the outer face or layer, to permit evaporation of sweat from the outer face or layer to a surrounding environment.
  • hydrophobic yarns that may be used in constructing portions of a sock as described herein include, but are not limited to, polypropylene, polyester, acrylic, and blends of the foregoing materials. As will be recognized by one skilled in the art, other hydrophobic materials or combinations of materials may be used.
  • hydrophilic yarns that may be used in constructing portions of a sock as described herein include, but are not limited to, wool, cotton, viscose, and blends of the foregoing materials. As will be recognized by one skilled in the art, other hydrophilic materials or combinations of materials may be used.
  • a sock as described herein includes plaiting of stretch hydrophobic yarn.
  • Such plaiting may be provided in the dual face or dual layer material arranged in at least the sole portion of the sock.
  • Such plaiting may be tailored to specific zones of a sock provide desired level of stretch characteristics.
  • an inner face or inner layer of the dual face or dual layer material consists of 100% hydrophobic yarn. Such yarn may keep a wearer's skin dry and isolated while providing cushioning.
  • an outer face or outer layer of the dual face or dual layer material (or an outer face or outer layer of the entire sock) comprises hydrophilic yarn to transport sweat from the inner face or inner layer to the outer face or outer layer. Sweat is absorbed by the outer face or outer layer and spread around such face or layer by absorption to promote evaporation.
  • the outer layer or outer face of the entire sock (not just the sole portion) comprises hydrophilic material to maximize evaporation of sweat to an ambient environment.
  • an inner side or inner layer of the dual face or dual layer material has minimal to no affinity for moisture or sweat.
  • Such inner side or inner layer may have an absorbency test value of at least 30 seconds according to AATCC Test Method 79.
  • Such test method measures a propensity of fabric to take up water, whereby a fabric sample is placed in an embroidery hoop with all creases removed, a burette dispenses a drop of water onto the surface of the fabric from a distance of 9.5 mm below the burette, and time is recorded until the water drop is complete absorbed into the fabric.
  • an outer face or outer layer of the dual face or dual layer material has great affinity for moisture or sweat.
  • Such outer side or outer layer may have any absorbency test value of 5 seconds or less.
  • an outer face or outer layer of the dual face or dual layer material (which covers the entirety of the sole portion, and in certain embodiments preferably covers the entire outer perimeter of a sock) exhibits excellent spread of moisture, with the outer face or outer layer being arranged to interact with an ambient atmosphere.
  • Such outer face or outer layer may exhibit vertical wicking of at least 10 centimeters in 30 minutes.
  • Vertical wicking tests e.g., AATCC Test Method 197 or Consumer Testing Lab method CTL-FW-1 06
  • vertical wicking tests generally involve placement of suspension of vertically aligned fabric specimen with a cut edge in a container of liquid, (e.g., distilled water) and recordation of height of liquid the is absorbed for a specified time. Such tests are used to evaluate the ability of fabric to transport liquid along and/or through the fabric.
  • a sock as disclosed herein may have separate colors on inner and outer sides (or faces) thereof.
  • an inner face (or layer) may include a first color
  • an outer face (or layer) may include a second color
  • the first color differs from the second color.
  • the provision of separate colors along inner and outer sides (or faces) of a sock may exclude heel and toe areas of the sock.
  • a sock may include a mesh or mesh channeled material portion arranged to be positioned along a top portion of a wearer's foot where conditions of less sweat and greater airflow may be experienced.
  • Such mesh or mesh channeled material portion may include hydrophilic main yarn and stretch hydrophobic plaiting yarn.
  • a sock may include a plain knit fabric portion arranged to be positioned along a wearer's ankle.
  • Such plain knit fabric portion may include hydrophilic main yarn and stretch hydrophobic plaiting yarn.
  • a sock may include reverse plaited terry fabric portions arranged to be positioned along a wearer's heel and along a wearer's toes, and intended to provide increased (e.g. maximum) cushioning.
  • Such reverse plaited terry fabric portions may include hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic main yarn and stretch hydrophobic plaiting yarn.
  • a sock may include simulated rib fabric portion arranged to be positioned at a top portion of the sock (e.g., above an ankle portion) for maximum grip along a wearer's leg.
  • the simulated rib fabric portion may include hydrophilic main yarn, stretch hydrophobic plaiting, and laid-in elastic yarn.
  • At least a sole portion of a sock may include two thread terry fabric construction with dual faces or layers, having a hydrophobic inner pile, stretch hydrophobic plaiting, and hydrophilic main yarn in the outer layer or face.
  • At least a sole portion of a sock may include an inner pile (e.g., embodying an inner face or layer) comprising hydrophobic yarn, with stretch plaiting in the middle, and with an outer face or outer layer comprising hydrophobic yarn.
  • an inner pile e.g., embodying an inner face or layer
  • hydrophobic yarn with stretch plaiting in the middle
  • an outer face or outer layer comprising hydrophobic yarn.
  • a hydrophobic inner face or inner layer portion is arranged to press against and contact a hydrophilic outer face or outer layer portion under application of elastic pressure and/or body weight of a wearer. Such contact causes adsorbed moisture on the hydrophobic inner face or inner layer portion to be absorbed by the hydrophilic outer face or outer layer, into which the moisture is rapidly spread to promote evaporation.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sock according to one embodiment of the present invention, showing different constructions corresponding to different foot and ankle locations depending on functional requirements at those places.
  • Mesh channels 5 are arranged to be positioned at a top portion of a wearer's foot where there is lesser sweat and greater airflow.
