Definitions
- the invention relates to a sock, in particular a disposable sock or a footlet, in particular a disposable footlet, and in particular a disposable footlet or a sock, in particular a disposable sock made of a fiber-based material, which is used in the healthcare sector, in particular in connection with podiatric care, in the cosmetics, body care and hygiene sectors, in the transport and hotel sectors as well as in social institutions and/or healthcare facilities.
- Such disposable socks are, for example, from the DE 100 52 825 C2 or the DE 299 18 743 U1
- This article describes a paper stocking, in particular a paper sock, made of soft, durable, absorbent, and elastic paper.
- the paper sock is disposable. It is made from a single-piece, flat paper blank and can be joined to form a custom fit on the foot during application. The cut edges in the heel and toe areas are glued, sewn, or glued together to form a custom fit. This ensures that the user's foot is snugly enclosed and as wrinkle-free as possible.
- a manufacturing method for a disposable nonwoven footlet in which a cutting pattern of a disposable footlet is predetermined and the cutting pattern has at least two first cutting pattern edges, two second cutting pattern edges and two third cutting pattern edges.
- the nonwoven material is provided as a roll or sheet.
- the sheet is printed and/or embossed.
- at least one elastic strip element is attached to the nonwoven material at the third pattern edges, with the third pattern edges defining the foot opening.
- Microspheres are also introduced into the nonwoven material, and the first and second pattern edges provided for this purpose are then joined together. Finally, the nonwoven material is punched out according to the pattern or cut out in another suitable manner.
- the DE 10 2004 005 556 B4 Describes a textile stocking, sock, pantyhose, or bandage worn in close skin contact, containing active ingredient layers with a gradually releasing active ingredient deposit.
- Predeterminable areas of a textile inner surface in contact with the skin and/or pads that can be combined with it, which can be specified according to a specific indication or defined according to known acupressure points, meridians, or the like, are coated with an inorganic metal oxide powder with incorporated organic liquids and/or oils, produced using a sol-gel process.
- the US 5 575 013 A which discloses the preamble of claim 1, describes an easy-to-put-on sock.
- the sock is like a conventional sock and includes a toe pocket, a heel portion, a sole portion, a lower leg portion, and an upper portion.
- the upper portion generally refers to the portion of the sock extending between the toe pocket and the lower leg portion on the upper side of the sock.
- the sock is no different from a conventional sock in that it is made of a suitable, soft, and flexible fabric, such as a cotton-polyester blend.
- the sock can be made in a variety of different sizes, like a conventional sock.
- the lower leg portion of the sock is relatively short, reaching just above the ankle of a wearer. However, the lower leg portion of the sock can reach above the knee of a wearer.
- the sock includes a slit extending from the toe pocket to the upper portion and the lower leg portion. The slit preferably separates the upper section and the lower leg section of the sock into two parts.
- the DE 20 2007 011 165 U1 is directed to an article of footwear.
- the article of footwear essentially consists of two elements, namely a stocking element and a bandage strap.
- the stocking element In the toe area, the stocking element has receptacles for the respective toes. From here, the stocking element extends over the sole of the foot or instep, as well as the heel and ankle, preferably up to the instep.
- the stocking element is predominantly made of a special material, preferably processed in a single layer, which has the properties of being thin yet cut-resistant and preferably elastic.
- the special material is preferably a mixture of Teflon and cotton.
- light, elastic preferably two-layer mesh materials are provided.
- the stocking element ensures that the stocking element can be easily put on, provided that the remaining special material has little or no stretch.
- the stocking element also has the property that, although it is designed to fit snugly against the foot, it can easily slip due to the shear forces that occur, particularly when surfing and running.

- the toe part 200 is adapted, together with the sole part 100, to completely accommodate the toe area of the foot 1 when the disposable footlet 10 is applied.
- the instep part 300 is adapted to at least partially cover the instep of the foot 1 when the disposable footlet 10 is applied to the foot 1.
- the terms instep, instep, and instep should be considered synonymous.
- a section of a cutting edge 310 of the instep part 300 can be separated from the toe area of the foot 1 run diagonally across the instep of the foot 1 to an ankle region of the foot 1.
- Fig. 2A and 2B show a schematic perspective view of a disposable booty 10 according to a further embodiment of the invention in an open and a closed state.
- the disposable footlet 10 or the sock 10 in particular the disposable sock 10, comprises, in addition to the sole part 100, the toe part 200 and the instep part 300, a heel part 400, which is adapted to cover the heel of the foot 1 when the disposable footlet 10 is put on.
- the disposable footlet 10 or the sock 10, in particular the disposable sock 10, has an instep closure part 500, which is adapted to releasably close the disposable footlet 10 on the instep of the foot 1 when the disposable footlet 10 is put on the foot 1.
- the instep closure part 500 has a tab part 510 which is fastened to the sole part 100 and which has an adhesive element 515 for releasably fastening the tab part 510 to the instep part 300 or to the sole part 100.
- the section of the cut edge 310 runs from a first longitudinal side 101 of the sole part 100 to a second longitudinal side 102 of the sole part 100, starting from the toe part 200 of the disposable footlet 10 to the heel part 400 of the disposable footlet 10.
- the sole part 100, the instep part 300 and the toe part 200 are adapted such that the disposable footlet can be fitted correctly either on a left foot or, as shown, on a right foot 1.
- the first longitudinal side 101 of the sole part 100 is located on the inside of the foot and the second longitudinal side 102 of the sole part 100 is located on the outside of the right foot 1.
- the section of the cut edge 310 of the instep part 300 runs in a put-on state of the disposable booty 10 from a toe area of the foot 1, which is accommodated in the toe part 200, or from the toe part 200 on an inside of the foot, i.e. the first longitudinal side 101 of the sole part 100, to an ankle area of the foot 1 on an outer side of the foot 1, i.e., the second longitudinal side 102 of the sole part 100.
- the section of the cut edge 310 of the instep part 300 thus runs along the longitudinal sides 101, 102 of the sole part 100, alternating from the toe part 200 to the heel part 400.
- the first longitudinal side 101 of the sole part 100 corresponds to the inner side of the left foot
- the second longitudinal side 102 of the sole part 200 corresponds to the outer side of the left foot 1.
- two disposable booties 10 are provided, which are mirror-symmetrical.
- the sole part 100 advantageously has a shape that encloses a vertical projection of the foot 1.
- the tab part 510 of the instep closure part 500 is advantageously attached to the first longitudinal side 101 of the sole part 100, i.e., to an inner side of the foot 1, on the sole part 100.
- the foot 1 is first pushed with its toe area into the toe part 200 shaped as a pocket from an inner side of the foot or from the first longitudinal side 101 of the sole part 100 into the toe part 200. This is facilitated by the fact that the instep part 300 is open towards the inner side of the foot 1 or towards the first longitudinal side of the sole part 102.
- the shape of the section of the cut edge 310 of the instep part 300 further facilitates the application of the disposable booty 10 to the foot 1 in that the big toe in the toe area of the foot 1 can be inserted centrally into the toe part 200 from the inside of the foot or the first longitudinal side 101 of the sole part 100 into the toe part 200 and can then be moved by a pivoting movement of the foot 1 in the toe part 200 toward the inside of the foot or toward the first longitudinal side 101 of the sole part 100 in the toe part 200.
- the heel of the foot 1 is inserted into the heel part 400.
- the instep closure part 500 When adjusted to a left/right foot, the instep closure part 500 is attached to the inside of the sole part 100, i.e., on the side where the big toe is located.
- the instep closure part 500 closes the open area of the instep part 300 and is located opposite the closed area of the instep part 300.
- the heel part 400 forms a pocket for the corresponding toe area and the heel of the foot 1.
- the disposable booty 10 or the sock 10, in particular the disposable sock 10 is closed by the instep closure part 500.
- the flap part 510 is moved over the instep of the foot 1 in the direction of the outer side of the foot 1 or in the direction of the second longitudinal side 102 of the sole part 100, wherein it sweeps over the section of the cut edge 310 of the instep part 300.
- the instep closure part 500 is thus designed such that, when the disposable booty 10 is put on, it sweeps over the section of the cut edge 310 of the instep part 300.
- the provision of the instep closure part 500 according to the invention enables a particularly fitting or form-fitting application of the disposable bootie 10 to the foot 1, since a continuous adjustment is possible due to different positions of the adhesive connection between the adhesive element 515 and the instep part 300.
- Fig. 3A and 3B show schematic perspective views of a disposable booty 10 according to a further embodiment of the invention in an open and a closed state.
- the disposable booty 10 shown differs from the one shown in the Fig. 2A and 2B
- the disposable footlet 10 shown is essentially distinguished by the fact that the instep closure part 500, instead of a flap part 510, comprises an adhesive bandage 520 which is adapted to enclose the sole part 100 and the instep part 300 at least once when the disposable footlet 10 is applied to the foot 1.
- An adhesive bandage is to be understood as a part of a functional dressing material which has the property of adhering to a roughened material or to a textile material or to itself.
- the adhesive bandage 520 When enclosing the metatarsal region of the disposable footlet 10 when applied to the foot 1, the adhesive bandage 520 therefore adheres to itself in an area in which the adhesive bandage 520 has enclosed or wrapped the disposable footlet 10 at least once in a metatarsal region.
- An adhesive bandage is also known as a rein bandage or tape bandage. It is a self-adhesive pressure bandage that is applied curatively and preventively to restrict the mobility of joints, for example.
- a tape bandage is therefore a functional bandage.
- An adhesive bandage, a rein bandage, or a tape bandage is a support bandage used to strengthen weakened or damaged structures such as muscles and ligaments. to protect the horse without having to completely immobilize it. Even in cases of instability, the rein bandage can be applied as a prophylactic measure to prevent injuries.
- the adhesive bandage, rein bandage, or tape bandage also has a certain elasticity in its longitudinal direction to exert pressure on the enclosed body part. Fig.
- the adhesive bandage 520 contributes in a particularly advantageous manner to ensuring that the disposable footlet 10 or the sock 10, in particular the disposable sock 10, fits properly or fits snugly against the midfoot of the foot 1.
- the adhesive bandage 520 can also be a kinesiotape or a bandage without adhesive effect, which is fastened in the midfoot area by means of staples after wrapping the disposable footlet 10.
- the adhesive bandage 520 further has the advantage that, when the disposable booty 10 is applied to the foot 1, the adhesive bandage 520 also covers the sole part 100 and is thus in contact with the floor when a user walks.
- the self-adhesive or adhesive properties of the adhesive bandage 520 create a slip resistance of the disposable booty 10 when applied to the foot 1 when the user walks on a floor surface.
- both a particularly precise fit of the disposable footlet 10 to the foot 1 and slip resistance when walking with the disposable footlet 10 are achieved.
- the Fig. 4A and 4B show schematic perspective views of a disposable booty 10 according to a further embodiment of the invention in an open and a closed state.
- the Fig. 4A and 4B The disposable booty 10 shown differs essentially from the one shown in the Fig. 2A and 2B shown disposable footlet 10, that the disposable footlet 10 or the sock 10, in particular the disposable sock 10, further comprises an ankle closure part 600, which is adapted to detachably close the disposable footlet 10 at the ankle of the foot 1 in a donned state of the disposable footlet 10.
- the ankle closure part 600 comprises at least one tab part 610, which is attached to the heel part 400, and which has an adhesive element 615 for releasably attaching the tab part 610 to the ankle closure part 600 or to the heel part 400.
- the side of the sole part 100 facing the ground can be machine-coated during the manufacturing process, for example, with silicone to create slip resistance. This produces the same effect as in the embodiment of the Fig. 3A and 3B , in which an adhesive bandage 520 is used, which is wrapped around the instep area of the foot 1.
- the adhesive element 615 of the ankle closure part 600 and the adhesive element 515 of the instep closure part 500 can be designed as a hook-and-loop fastener or adhesive strip. Furthermore, the adhesive element 515, 615 can be designed as a silicone closure element. For example, an OPSITE Flexifix from Smith & Nephew can be used as the silicone closure element for the adhesive element 615, 515.
- the instep closure part 500 is first closed and then the ankle closure part 600 is closed at the ankle of the foot 1.
- the disposable booty 10 or the sock 10, in particular the disposable sock 10 sits firmly on the foot 1 when put on the foot 1, whereby detachment of the disposable booty 10 from the foot 1 is impeded even more than would be the case if the instep closure part 500 alone were provided.
- the ankle closure part 600 rests in a shapely and fitting manner on an ankle region and on a heel region of the foot 1, whereby a completely fitting disposable booty 1 over the foot 1 from the ankle region of the foot 1 to the toe region of the foot 1 is achieved.
- the close fit of the disposable footlet 10 against the foot 1 ensures, on the one hand, that the foot 1 is insulated by the disposable footlet 10.
- the close fit of the disposable footlet 10 against the foot 1 allows care or medicinal agents contained in the disposable footlet 10 to penetrate into the foot 1, since the disposable footlet 10 or sock 10, in particular the disposable sock 10, is in direct contact with the foot 1 over a large area.
- the Fig. 5A and 5B show a schematic perspective view of a disposable booty 10 according to a further embodiment of the invention in an open and a closed state.
- the Fig. 5A and 5B The disposable booty 10 shown differs from the one shown in the Fig. 4A and 4B shown embodiment essentially in that the ankle closure part 600 comprises at least one adhesive bandage 620, which is adapted to enclose the ankle of the foot 1 at least once in a donned state of the disposable booty 10.
- the ankle closure part 600 comprises at least one adhesive bandage 620, which is adapted to enclose the ankle of the foot 1 at least once in a donned state of the disposable booty 10.
- the ankle area of the foot 1 by the adhesive bandage 620 either from one side or from two be wrapped around the sides, whereby a tight fit of the ankle closure part 600 is achieved by means of two adhesive bandages 620 or by means of one adhesive bandage 620.
- the Fig. 6A and 6B show schematic perspective views of a disposable booty 10 according to a further embodiment of the invention in an open and a closed state.
- the Fig. 6A and 6B The disposable booty 10 shown differs from the one shown in Fig. 3A and 3B shown disposable booty 10 essentially in that an ankle closure part 600 is provided, as in the disposable booty 10 in Fig. 4A and 4B has been shown and described.
- an ankle closure part 600 is provided, as in the disposable booty 10 in Fig. 4A and 4B has been shown and described.
- the Fig. 7A and 7B show schematic perspective views of a disposable booty 10 according to a further embodiment of the invention.
- the Fig. 7A and 7B The disposable booty 10 shown differs from the one shown in Fig. 5A and 5B
- the disposable booty 10 shown essentially differs in that an ankle closure part 600 is provided, which has a bandage 620a that closes the disposable booty 10 both in the instep area and in the ankle area by alternately wrapping around both the ankle of a foot 1 and the instep of a foot 1.
- the bandage 620a can be designed as an adhesive bandage, as described above. However, the bandage 620a can also be an elastic bandage or dressing without an adhesive effect. In this case, the bandage 620a can be fixed by staples or adhesives. If an adhesive bandage is used as the bandage 620a, the advantageous effect of increased slip resistance when walking also occurs.
- At least one of the parts 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 510, 600, and 610 of the disposable booty 10 is made from a blank of a flat material.
- the flat material can be nonwoven, paper, a cellulose fiber nonwoven, or a textile fabric.
- a nonwoven material is a structure made of fibers of limited length, continuous fibers (filaments), or cut yarns of any type and origin, which have been joined together in some way to form a nonwoven (a fiber layer, a fiber pile) and bonded together in some way.
- a textile is a material produced by crossing or interlacing yarns, as occurs in weaving, knitting, lacemaking, braiding, and the manufacture of tufted products. Films and papers are also not considered nonwoven materials. Paper is a flat material consisting essentially of fibers of plant origin, which is formed by dewatering a fiber suspension on a screen. This creates a fiber felt, which is then compacted and dried (DIN 6730).
- creped cellulose nonwovens This is a soft and absorbent paper nonwoven. Pulp serves as a high-quality raw material in the paper industry. Bleached pulps can meet very high standards in terms of chemical purity, which makes them suitable for the production of hygiene products.
- Cellulose nonwovens are finely creped, have a short-term wet strength, and are highly absorbent. They can be processed in single or multi-layered forms. The nonwovens can be cut, punched, and embossed. Embossing creates a larger surface area, allowing the paper to absorb more moisture.
- the nonwoven material can be made from synthetic and/or natural fibers. Synthetic nonwoven materials or blends of natural and synthetic nonwoven materials exhibit increased elasticity. For ecological reasons, the nonwoven material can consist almost exclusively of natural fibers to ensure biodegradability. Modal fibers or viscose fibers, for example, can be used as fibers. Furthermore, natural fibers exhibit better absorbency than synthetic fibers.
- Nonwovens are largely flexible textile fabrics, meaning they are easily bendable. Their main structural elements are textile fibers, and they are comparatively thin compared to their length and width. There are also nonwovens that, due to the fibers used, such as non-spinnable short fibers, or the bonding processes, are more similar to paper, films, or fiber-reinforced plastics than to textiles.
- a nonwoven fabric intended for use in hospitals and nursing homes is preferably used.
- nonwoven patient blankets or nonwoven compresses are already manufactured and widely used.
- At least one first nonwoven material can be embossed or mechanically pressed with at least one other nonwoven material.
- the nonwoven material layers can be bonded together using an airlaid process. Similar or different nonwoven materials can be at least partially bonded together. This increases not only the absorbency but also the wet strength of the composite nonwoven.
- the nonwoven material can be provided on a roll and/or bale such that at least two cutting patterns with corresponding cuts can be processed in parallel.
- the nonwoven material can be supplied by the nonwoven manufacturer on a roll, bale, or the like with a width of approximately 240 cm.
- paper could be used as a flat material for cutting one of the parts of the disposable footlet 10.
- cellulose wadding which is used in tissue papers such as absorbent kitchen rolls or toilet paper, is preferred as the paper material.
- the blanks made of a flat material of the parts 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 510, 600 and 610 of the disposable booty 10 described below can be provided with a marking element for aesthetic or similar reasons according to a further embodiment of the present invention.
- one or more marking elements such as logos or Company logos can be embossed and/or printed. This step can be performed after the preparation step, allowing multiple patterns to be processed simultaneously.

- the sole part 100, the heel part 400, the instep part 300 and the toe part 200 can also be designed as a one-piece pattern.
- the one-piece blank 700 shown of the sole part 100, the toe part 200, the instep part 300, and the heel part 400 has a blank edge 710.
- the blank edge 710 has a first blank edge portion 712, which extends from a point B to a point A' on the blank edge 710.
- the first blank edge portion 712 forms the above-described portion of a blank edge 310 of the instep part 300, which, when the disposable booty 10 is worn, runs diagonally from a toe area across the instep to an ankle area of the foot.

- Fig. 13 shows the one-piece blank 700 of the sole part 100, the toe part 200, the instep part 300 and the heel part 400 according to a further embodiment of the invention.
- the flat blank 700 can have a preferred direction L stretch , in which the flat blank 700 is more stretchable or resilient than in other directions along the plane of the blank 700 or along the cutting plane.
- the cutting plane is to be understood as a plane which is parallel to the surface of the flat material before the corresponding cut edge sections are joined. The cutting plane is therefore a plane which lies parallel to the sheet plane of a corresponding cutting pattern.
- the flat blank 700 preferably has only one preferred direction; the cut of the flat material, such as a flat nonwoven material, is therefore formed from a so-called unistretch material.
- a flat blank with two preferred directions, for which purpose a so-called bistretch material is used.
- a stretch material Perlon or nylon fibers can be incorporated into the nonwoven material to create extensibility or stretchability along a preferred direction in the nonwoven material.
- elastomers such as spandex or elastane, can be incorporated into the nonwoven material to give the flat material a certain degree of elasticity.
- the material's recovery capacity is important. Recovery describes the extent to which a material returns to its original shape following stretching.
- extentsibility here corresponds to the English term “stretch,” while the term “recovery capacity” corresponds to the English term “extensibility.”
- a material is interesting if it is both stretchable and partially recoverable. For use as a disposable product, full recovery, i.e., perfectly elastic behavior, is not necessary. The material therefore does not have to fully return to its original shape after stretching, but can remain in a stretched form after an initial contraction. Thus, the recovery capacity can be less than 100%, with a recovery capacity of 100% corresponding to perfectly elastic behavior.
- a recovery capacity is preferred. From 100% to 30%, or from 100% to 50%, or from 100% to 70%.
- Stretchability corresponds to the ability to withstand stretching without damage, such as tearing. The higher the stretchability, the more the material can be stretched in percentage terms.
- a well-known manufacturer of stretchable or resilient nonwoven materials is Micrex, for example.
- the preferred direction L stretch of the sole part 100 is parallel to the longitudinal direction L s of the foot 1.
- a sole part 100 that was created for a standard size can adapt to a slightly larger foot length of a foot 1 in the longitudinal direction L s , in order to bridge the gap between different standard sizes.
- the preferred direction L stretch of the heel part 400 is oblique to the normal to the sole part 100.
- a normal to the sole part 100 is to be understood as a normal to the plane of the sole part 100. This means that if the sole part 100 or cut of the sole part 100 lies in a horizontal plane, the normal to the sole part 100 coincides with a vertical direction. In the Fig.
- the preferred direction L stretch can be provided such that in a finished disposable footlet 10, i.e. after the corresponding cut edge sections have been connected, the preferred direction L stretch lies parallel to the sole plane and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L s of the foot 1.
- the preferred direction L stretch in the toe part 200 can be oblique or substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction L s of the foot 1.
- the cut as for example in Fig. 9 shown, the toe part 200 can be arranged relative to the preferred direction L stretch of the flat material, which is made of nonwoven fabric, for example, such that after the corresponding cut edge sections have been connected to the sole part 100, it has a preferred direction which is oblique or substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction L s of the foot 1.
- a corresponding change in the preferred direction L stretch within the disposable footlet 10 is achieved after connecting the corresponding cut edge sections by a one-piece cut 700, which comprises the sole part 100, the toe part 200, the instep part 300 and the heel part 400.
- a one-piece cut 700 which comprises the sole part 100, the toe part 200, the instep part 300 and the heel part 400.
- the one-piece blank 700 is intended to produce a flat cut of the material according to the Fig. 13 shown cut 700 is cut or punched out of this material.
- the preferred direction L stretch is parallel to each other in all parts 100, 200, 300, and 400 when the blank 700 lies flat on a horizontal plane.
- the preferred direction L stretch is gradually rotated in space, as illustrated by the differently drawn longitudinal directions L' s in the heel part 400 and L" s in the toe part 200.
- the preferred direction L stretch in a finished disposable booty 10 runs diagonally in a plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L' s of the foot 1.
- an expansion in the heel region of the foot 1 is possible in a region between the first longitudinal side 101 and the second longitudinal side 102 of the sole part 100.
- the preferred direction L stretch in the toe part 200 is furthermore perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L" s of the foot 1 and substantially parallel to the plane of the Sole part 100.
- an extension of the toe part 200 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L s of the sole part 100 is possible. Due to the special design of the cut 700 of the Fig. 13 It can therefore be achieved that the disposable footlet 10 or the sock 10, in particular the disposable sock 10, is stretchable or resilient in the longitudinal direction in the sole area, is stretchable or resilient in the horizontal direction in the heel area and is also stretchable or resilient horizontally and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the sole part 100 in the toe area.
- At least one part 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 510, 600, and 610 of the disposable footlet 10 or footlet has a care or medicinal active ingredient embedded therein.
- This active ingredient can, for example, comprise microspheres.
- the microspheres can be incorporated into the nonwoven material. Specifically, resin spheres and/or gelatin spheres can be used as microspheres. Microencapsulation allows solids and liquids to be surrounded by a shell. These microspheres can have a diameter of up to 800 ⁇ m . Suitable capsule walls can be natural and synthetic polymers. Resin spheres are preferred due to their mechanical stability, higher temperature resistance, harder walls, and their ease of application to the nonwoven. Gelatin spheres are particularly suitable due to their low dermatological risks, low required production temperature, and only a minimal need for binding agents. For continuous Different microspheres can be used to release the stored substances over a longer period of time.
- the microspheres can contain conditioning agents and/or fragrances as ingredients. Each microsphere can be filled with different ingredients. Likewise, a single microsphere can contain various ingredients. For example, natural oils and fats can be used, such as jojoba oil, aloe vera, olive oil, avocado oil, shea butter, stearic acid, panthenol, vitamin E, glycerin, and the like. Furthermore, antibacterial substances such as fanesol, polyaminopropyl biguanide, isopropyl alcohol, or clotrimazole can be used.

Thereafter, the parts selected from the parts 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 510, 600, 610 of the disposable booty 10 are separated from the flat material according to a predetermined cutting pattern. Finally, the parts are bonded to the parts of the Disposable footlet 10. Particularly preferably, the heel portion 400 is connected to the sole portion 100 such that it is perpendicular to the sole portion 100.
- a connecting edge is formed between the heel portion 400 and the sole portion 100, which has an angle in the range between 60 degrees and 120 degrees, or in the range between 70 degrees and 110 degrees, or in the range between 80 degrees and 100 degrees, or in the range between 85 degrees and 95 degrees between the heel portion 400 and the sole portion 100.
- the nonwoven material With a higher proportion of plastic fibers or synthetic fibers such as polyester or polypropylene, the nonwoven material can also be welded. In the textile industry, there is also the thermal molding process. This process creates 3D objects, and the Footlet 10 can also be manufactured using this method. However, this requires certain material properties, such as a high synthetic content. If good composability of the product after use is desired, which requires a low proportion of plastic fibers, other joining methods such as sewing or gluing are preferable.
- a disposable booty 10 which consists, for example, of a nonwoven fabric, wherein a pattern from a one-piece cut or a multi-piece cut can be used.
- a company logo for example, can already be woven into the nonwoven fabric.
- the nonwoven fabric is stretchable or resilient in a stretch direction

- the Fig. 14 shows a schematic perspective view of a disposable booty 10 according to a further embodiment of the invention in a closed state.
- the disposable footlet 10 or the sock 10, in particular the disposable sock 10 comprises, in addition to the sole part 100, the toe part 200 and the instep part 300, the heel part 400, which is adapted to cover the heel of the foot 1 when the disposable footlet 10 is worn.
- the disposable footlet 10 or the sock 10, in particular the disposable sock 10 has a receiving part 450, which is adapted to receive an insert part 460 (see arrow in Fig. 14 ).
- the receiving part 450 is adapted, when the disposable footlet 10 is worn, to extend from the instep of the foot 1 around the heel of the foot 1 and at least partially under the ball of the foot 1.
- the insert part 460 can be inserted into the receiving part 450, in order to thereby enclose, in particular, a rear part of the foot 1.

- inserts 460 are also conceivable that are adapted to support the foot or ankle of the foot and thus increase the stability of the foot 1 through supporting measures. This is all the more effective the further the receiving part 450 extends upwards along the ankle of the foot 1. Furthermore, inserts 460 are conceivable that are adapted to act like a type of insole and support the foot 1 from the sole.
- a surface area or surface areas of the disposable footlet 10 that are adapted to contact the foot 1 when the disposable footlet 10 is worn can comprise a friction-reducing material.
- a perceived haptic "softness" i.e., a finish without edges that is particularly smooth, clean, etc. is also advantageous for the wearer or the foot.
- the risk of friction negatively affecting the skin is increased by sustained pressure, in addition to the influence of the material.
- Increased pressure always occurs in places where a small surface area bears a relatively high weight, such as the heel of the foot, particularly in patients with limited mobility.
- the duration of the pressure also plays a role.
- the disposable footlet 10 according to the invention therefore has the receiving part 450, into which, in particular, a pressure-reducing insert 460 can be inserted.
- Friction between skin and disposable socks can be reduced, for example, as follows: by using a material made of preferably "manufactured man-made fibers," such as those sold under the product name Parafricta, among others.
- the "manufactured man-made fibers” exhibit lower friction in mechanical processes to prevent skin irritations, which in turn can lead to minor abrasions or redness, to serious consequences such as decubitus (bedsores), and thus involve considerable costs for the healthcare industry; by using an impregnated material, for example, impregnated with a formulation incorporated directly into the material; and/or by using a formulation applied to the material that creates a lubricating effect between the skin and the disposable socks 10.
- a textile strip (not shown) containing a lotion may also be provided.
- the textile strip may, in particular, be adapted to at least partially cover the instep of the foot 1, the ankles of the foot 1, and/or the sides of the foot 1.

- the donning aid can have a tab, an eyelet, or a flap protruding from the heel part 400.
- the exemplary embodiment according to Fig. 15 it has the ankle closure part 600.
- the receiving part 450 can extend from the heel part 400 to the ankle closure part 600 in order to accommodate a larger insert part 460. This allows a larger part of the foot 1 to be protected and/or supported.
- the disposable footlet 10 or sock 10, in particular the disposable sock 10 can have a coating, for example with silicone, on its inside, i.e. the side of the disposable footlet 10 that is in contact with the skin, in the area of the heel, in particular towards the ankle, to prevent the disposable footlet 10 or sock 10, in particular the disposable sock 10, from slipping back over the heel after being put on.
- a silicone coating can also be present on the inside of the disposable footlet 10 in points or over other areas to prevent the disposable footlet 10 from slipping or twisting on the foot.
- a slip-resistant coating such as a base material with a silicone coating, can therefore be applied to the inside of the disposable footlet 10, which prevents the sock or disposable footlet 10 from accidentally twisting in on itself, for example at night.

- stretch material 2000 and its production is described, for example, in DE 10 2007 055 524 A1 and/or DE 10 2005 011 059 B3 described.
- the stretch material 2000 comprises elasticizing means 1300 and a material or a material layer 1000.
- the elasticizing means 1300 can, for example, be fixed under prestress to a chassis-forming sheathing material of the material 1000 (stretch bonding).
- the elasticizing means 1300 are prestressed and connected to the sheathing material of the material 1000 at connection points 1140, so that when the elasticizing means 1300 are relaxed, the material 1000 is folded out in an accordion-like or wave-like manner along the preferred direction of extensibility, i.e., along the direction of prestress of the elasticizing means 1300.
- the prestress can be 1.5-6.0, in particular 2.5-5.0.
- the pre-tension can be defined as a factor of the degree of stretching compared to the unstretched/relaxed state of the elastic threads 1120.
- the stretch material 2000 can comprise a material layer 1110 made of a material 1000, for example, a nonwoven material, in a corrugated state applied to contracted elasticizing means 1300, for example, elastic threads 1120.
- the material layer 1110 can have depressions and elevations.
- the elastic threads 1120 can be arranged parallel and connected to the depressions of the material layer 1110.
- the elastic threads 1120 can also be completely coated with an adhesive layer and then bonded under prestress to the material layer 1110, which is in particular a nonwoven material layer.
- the nonwoven material consists of a plurality of fibers or filaments, this also results in a point-like connection between the elastic threads 1120 and the material layer 1110. If tension is now applied along the elastic threads 1120, the corrugated state of the material layer 1110 can transition to a stretched state, and the material layer 1110 can stretch in the direction along the elastic threads 1120, in particular until a smooth state of the material layer 1110 is achieved. A restoring force in the direction of the corrugated state can be provided by the elastic threads 1120. In this way, elasticity can be created in a material layer that does not have intrinsic elasticity.
- the elasticizing means 1300 preferably comprise thread- or band-shaped elasticizing means, such as rubber or polyether polyurethane or polyester polyurethane threads, preferably elastic threads such as Lycra® or Spandex® threads.
- the elasticizing means 1300 can preferably have a thickness of 300-1500 dtex, in particular of 500-1200 dtex, more particularly of 500-900 dtex.
- a unistretch material can be produced as the stretch material 2000, which has elastic properties along a single predetermined stretch direction L STRETCH .
- the material layer 1110 in the corrugated state can provide padding that can prevent skin damage and/or thermal insulation. Furthermore, the structure thus created can be used to cover seams and/or edges. Furthermore, friction due to micro-movements can be reduced. Furthermore, a highly elastic stretch material 2000 is thus provided that offers high extensibility with simultaneously high recovery capacity.
- the two middle pictures of the Fig. 21 show a similar principle, but here, instead of the elastic threads 1120, an elastic layer 1130 is used as the elasticizing means 1300, which has an elasticity at least in the spatial direction in which the non-woven material layer 1110 is corrugated, in order to provide a stretch material 2000 with elastic properties.
- the connection between the nonwoven material layer 1110 and the elastic layer 1130 can be formed via the connection points 1140, produced by an ultrasonic weld or an adhesive bond. This offers the advantage of forming a tear-resistant connection.
- the two lower images of the Fig. 21 show a transfer of the previously described one-dimensional principle to two spatial directions.
- the material layer 1110 is not as in the two upper and middle images of the Fig. 21 Not corrugated along one direction, but along two spatial directions.
- the elastic layer 1130 is prestressed in two directions and connected to the material 1000 via a grid of connection points 1140.
- an elastic film can also be applied to the material layer 1110 made of the material 1000, wherein the elastic film contracts during a post-treatment.
- An example of such a stretch material is the material Conforma from HB Fuller. This allows the stretch material 2000 to be produced as a bistretch material that has elastic properties in two spatial directions, i.e., a first stretch direction L STRETCH1 and a second stretch direction L STRETCH2 .

- the Fig. 31A shows a schematic perspective view of a disposable booty 10 according to a further embodiment of the invention and the Fig. 31B shows the corresponding pattern.
- the Fig. 31A and 31B The disposable booty 10 shown differs from the one shown in the Fig. 30A and 30B shown disposable bootie 10 essentially in that parts of the instep part 300 overlap.
- the overlapping parts of the instep part 300 can be formed in an area near the toe area to ensure an even more secure hold and to provide thermal insulation in the area.
- this pattern does not have the semicircular recess in an area corresponding to the toe part 200.
- the Fig. 32A and 32B show a cutting pattern of a sock 10, in particular a disposable sock 10, which may comprise a stretch material 2000.

- the sock 10 is produced from a one-piece or two-piece cutting pattern of a stretch material 2000 that has only a single stretch direction L STRETCH , i.e., is elastically stretchable along only one direction in the surface plane of the flat, sheet-like, or fabric-like stretch material 2000.
- a stretch material 2000 with only a single stretch direction L STRETCH has the advantage of simple, uncomplicated, and cost-effective production with a reduced number of production steps.
- the Fig. 32A shows the pattern of a sock 10 made of a stretch material 2000 in a non-stretched state, which can correspond to a contracted state of the sock 10.
- the Fig. 32B shows the same pattern in a stretched state.
- the stretch between the Fig. 32A shown condition and the one in Fig. 32B The stretching capacity shown is 100%.
- a stretching of a certain percentage corresponds to a change in length by this percentage compared to the unstretched state.
- a stretching of 100% therefore corresponds to a change in length by +100%. Therefore, the Fig. 32B
- the pattern shown has a stretch along the line indicated by the arrow L STRETCH that is twice as long as the pattern shown in the Fig. 32A contracted cutting patterns shown.
- the stretch material 2000 can have a maximum achievable elongation before tearing apart, i.e., an extensibility or elongation at break along the stretch direction L STRETCH from a contracted state to a stretched state of more than 50%, or more than 100%, or more than 150%, or more than 200%, or more than 250%, or more than 300%, or more than 400%, or more than 500%, or more than 600%, or more than 700%, or more than 800%, or more than 900%, and less than 1000%. Extensibility corresponds to the ability to withstand stretching without destruction such as tearing. The higher the extensibility, the more the material can be stretched in percentage terms. As with respect to Fig. 21 As described, the extensibility of a stretch material 2000 can be adjusted via the pre-tensioning degree of the elasticizing agents 1300 before joining with the material 1000.
- full recovery i.e., perfectly elastic behavior
- the recovery can therefore be less than 100%, with a recovery of 100% corresponding to perfectly elastic behavior.
- a recovery of 100% to 30%, or from 100% to 50%, or from 100% to 70% is preferred.
- a recovery of 100% means that the material fully returns to its original shape
- a recovery of 0% means that the material remains in its stretched state
- a recovery of, for example, 70% means that the material only returns to its original shape from its stretched state by 70% of the stretched distance.
- the material does not have to fully return to its original shape after being stretched, but can remain in a stretched shape after an initial contraction.
- a full recovery capability of 100% is preferred.
- the cutting pattern of the sock 10 or the disposable sock 10 shown can be formed in one piece, as shown. Alternatively, the cutting pattern can also be formed in two parts. In this case, the cutting pattern of the sock 10 or the disposable sock 10 can be axially symmetrical along an axis of symmetry AS , and in particular can consist of two mirror-symmetrical parts that are arranged along the axis of symmetry AS (dashed line in the Fig. 32A and 32B ) are separated from one another.
- the cutting pattern of the sock 10 can therefore have a butterfly shape, wherein in the finished state of the sock 10, the folded edge of the cutting pattern along the axis of symmetry AS corresponds to the shaft region 400b of the heel part 400 of the sock 10 and the cutting edges of the cutting pattern in the region of the heel region 400a of the heel part 400, in the region of the sole part 100 and in the region of the toe part 200 are connected or sewn to one another.

- the shaft area 400b comprises the area of the sock 10 that is referred to as the sock shaft in a known sock.
- the waistband region 400c comprises the region of the sock 10 which, in a known sock, is referred to as the sock waistband, also known as the cuff or waistband, and corresponds to the region of an upper finishing edge K2 of the sock 10.

If the end edge K2 of the sock 10 does not form a straight end edge in the contracted state of the sock 10, the Longitudinal direction L a of the sock 10 can be defined parallel to the longitudinal direction of the sock shaft in the shaft region 400b.
- the dimension a shall be defined as a dimension of the sock 10 along a direction along which the sock 10 has the largest dimension in the contracted state.
- the longitudinal direction L a of the sock 10 in the contracted state does not correspond to the longitudinal direction of the foot 1 or the sole part 100, as with respect to Fig. 13 was introduced as the longitudinal direction L S.
- This direction L S would be used in the Fig. 33B shown sock 10 rather parallel to a cut edge section or cut edge section K4 adjacent to the sole part 100 ( Fig. 35B ) get lost.
- the sock 10 can have a dimension or length from the tip S of the toe part 200 to the end edge K2 in the waistband area 400c of the heel part 400 of more than 25 cm, or of more than 30 cm, or of more than 35 cm, or of more than 40 cm, or of more than 45 cm, or of more than 50 cm, and less than 60 cm.

- the pattern can be Fig. 33B and 33C be provided with a seam 1350 that is elastic in the seam direction and connects at least two of the parts 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 510, 600, 610 of the sock 10 to one another.
- the elastic seam 1350 can be formed in the sole part 100. It can therefore connect two parts of the sole part 100 to one another.
- the seam 1350 that is elastic in the seam direction can be formed in the toe part 200. It can therefore connect two parts of the toe part 200 to one another.
- the elastic seam 1350 can be formed at least partially in the heel part 400. It can therefore at least partially connect two parts of the heel part 400 to one another.
- the seam 1350 which is elastic in the seam direction, can connect two parts of the heel area 400a with each other, wherein the shaft area 400b in the case of a one-piece pattern, as in Fig. 32A and 32B shown, is formed in one piece as a folded edge.
- the elastic seam 1350 runs centrally along the foot 1 from the toe part 200 over the sole part 100 to the heel part 400 when the sock 10 is worn.
- the seam 1350 can be a T-seam or a zigzag seam.
- a zigzag seam can be produced using a zigzag stitch with a longer stitch length than that used for a non-elastic seam.
- a non-elastic seam for example an ultrasonic welding seam, can also be provided as the seam 1350 that is elastic in the seam direction, which connects the parts to be joined in the seam direction under pretension, so that when contracted again, it acts like a seam that is elastic in the seam direction and is elastically stretchable.
- the seam 1350 which is elastic in the seam direction, can thus be created by joining two parts of the sock 10 together in the stretched state. This is particularly possible if the stretch direction L STRETCH does not run perpendicularly into the seam 1350, which is elastic in the seam direction.
- the elastic seam 1350 (in the Fig. 33B and 33C shown as a dashed line) have a U-like or V-like shape. Furthermore, in the shaft area 400b of the heel part 400, a connected or one-piece area of the pattern can be connected, which is arranged along the axis of symmetry A S ( Fig. 32A and 32B ) of the pattern is folded.
- the seam 1350 can elastically connect the two parts of the shaft region 400b along the cut edge section K3, the two parts of the heel region 400a and the two parts of the sole part 100 along the cut edge section K4 as well as the two parts of the toe part 200 along the cut edge section K5 to one another in the seam direction (see also Fig. 35B and 35C ).
- the instep opening OR adjoins the area connected by the seam 1350, which can extend from the heel part 400 to the toe part 200.
- the instep opening OR has the function of making it easier to put on the sock 10.
- the instep opening OR can be a longitudinal slit which, when the sock 10 is worn and not yet closed, extends from the finishing edge K2 in the waistband area 400c of the heel part 400 in the area of the ankle of the foot 1 to the toe part 200, in particular to the instep opening end E in the transition area between the toe part 200 and the instep part 300 of the sock 10, in particular to the end of the seam 1350 in the transition area between the toe part 200 and the instep part 300.
- the instep opening O R can also be designed as a cutout, an incision, or a cut in the sock 10.
- the Instep opening OR can have a dimension or length starting from the end edge K2 in the waistband area 400c of the sock 10, in particular starting from the area of the ankle closure part 600, to the toe part 200, in particular to the instep opening end E in the transition area between the toe part 200 and the instep part 300, in particular to the end of the seam 1350 in the transition area between the toe part 200 and the instep part 300, of greater than 5 cm, or of greater than 10 cm, or of greater than 15 cm in a contracted sock 10.
- the length or dimension of the instep opening OR can also be at least 20%, or at least 30%, or at least 40%, or at least 50%, or at least 60%, or at least 70%, or at least 80%, and a maximum of 90%, or a maximum of 80% of the dimension a in the longitudinal direction LA of the sock 10 in the contracted state.
- the instep opening end E in the transition region between the toe part 200 and the instep part 300 of the sock 10 can coincide with the end of the seam 1350 if, for example, the seam 1350 runs centrally along the longitudinal direction LS of the sole part 100 in a sock 10 in the put-on state through the sock 10.
- a toe region of the foot 1 of a patient or user can be inserted in the contracted state into the toe part 200 of the sock 10, which receives it, whereby the sole part 100, the heel part 400, and the instep part 300 of the sock 10 do not enclose or accommodate the remaining area of the foot 1, apart from the toe area, due to the instep opening OR opposite the sole part 100 and the heel part 400 when the sock 10 is not closed.
- the user or a person putting on the sock 10 for example a caregiver, can grasp the sock 10 at the cuff area 400c of the heel part 400 and pull the sock 10 over the heel of the foot 1, preferably up to the ankle.
- the stretch material 2000 of the sock 10 is stretched along the elasticizing means 1300 (for simplicity of illustration, only one reference number 1300 is used in the Fig. 33A to 33C shown). This allows the sock 10 to adapt to the user's foot 1 while providing a secure hold.
- elasticizing means 1300 in the shaft region 400b of the heel part 400 can run perpendicular to a longitudinal direction L a of the sock 10 in the contracted state.
- the stretch material of the sock 10 can have only one preferred direction, i.e. only one stretch direction L STRETCH , which can in particular correspond to a direction of the arrangement of the elasticizing means 1300.
- L STRETCH stretch direction
- the user pulls the sock 10 upwards over the heel. Since the elasticizing means 1300 extend perpendicular to the pulling direction caused when putting on the sock 10, no stretching in the pulling direction occurs in the shaft area 400b when putting on the sock 10, thus allowing for comfortable putting on.
- the sock 10, when worn, can have an angle at the ankle closure part 600 of equal to or greater than 80°, in particular equal to or greater than 85° and/or equal to or less than 100°, in particular equal to or less than 95° and/or preferably approximately equal to 90°. This ensures force transmission perpendicular to the user's foot.
- the elasticizing means 1300 preferably extend at an oblique angle to the elastic seam 1350. If the elastic seam 1350 has a U-shaped or V-shaped form, the elasticizing means 1300 can intersect the elastic seam 1350 at an acute angle in the area of the heel region 400a of the heel part 400 and/or the sole part 100. The elasticizing means 1300 can further extend from the heel part 400 and/or the sole part 100 to the instep part 300 and/or the toe part 200. The elasticizing means 1300 can again intersect the elastic seam 1350 at an acute angle in the toe part 200. This applies in particular to elasticizing means 1300 that intersect the elastic seam 1350 in the sole part 100.
- elasticizing means 1300 can intersect the instep opening OR in the region of the instep part 300 at an acute angle. This applies in particular to elasticizing means 1300 that intersect the elastic seam 1350 in the sole part 100 and/or the heel region 400a of the heel part 400.
- the angle between the elastic seam 1350 in the area of the sole part 100 or a cut edge section K4 of the sock 10 adjacent to the heel area 400a of the heel part 400 and the sole part 100 and the stretch direction L STRETCH can therefore deviate from an orthogonal to the seam direction of the seam 1350 in a range between 10° and 80°, or between 10° and 70°, or between 10° and 60°, or between 10° and 50°.
- the stretch material 2000 can therefore have a stretch direction L STRETCH , which in the contracted state of the stretch material 2000 runs essentially parallel to a terminal edge K2 in a waistband region 400c of the heel part 400 and intersects a cut edge section K4 adjacent to the sole region 100 at an angle in the range between 10° and 80° deviating from the normal direction of the cut edge section K4.
- the stretch direction L STRETCH cuts a cutting edge section K3 adjacent to the shaft region 400b of the heel part 400 essentially perpendicularly.
- the sock 10 can adapt to the user's foot 1 not only along its longitudinal direction LS , but also in a width direction and a height direction.
- the stretch direction L STRETCH thus runs in the region of the sole part 100 in the region of the seam 1350 at an angle to the elastic seam 1350 and not perpendicular to it, resulting in elasticity in the seam direction of the seam 1350 due to the elasticizing means 1300 running into the seam 1350 in a V-shape.
