Description

Hosiery garment.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to a pledge of hosiery, obviously intended and designed to materialize preferably and fundamentally a specially designed sock for use in sports, although it can also be Applicable for urban use.

The object of the invention consists in the development of a textile article, specifically a sock without seams, which uses chitin fiber as a basic component, likely to be combined, at least, with a support fiber, to ensure that the garment has some properties, among others, of breathability, bactericide, healing and regeneration of the skin.

Background of the invention

It is well known that the feet are one of the parts of the body that suffer most, since they are continuously in activity and subjected to very strong efforts due to conditions in which they are found, so that the accommodation of the feet inside the footwear contributes to a softening of the skin that, together with friction and friction, They can become wounds and / or blisters. Obviously this fact sharpens sharply in athletes, since these subject their feet to long and hard activity sessions and stress.

In addition, there is the problem of those people suffering from the so-called "diabetic foot", for whom a simple wound or chafing can become a serious problem, as a consequence of the difficulty in regeneration and It cures the skin, and can lead to serious infections.

However, garments or socks are known that they are usually marketed to try to solve or alleviate possible any of the evils or problems, such as the breathability, scarring, bactericides, generation of the skin, etc., although the garment or sock is always conceived and done to solve each problem individually. Is that is, there are different types of socks on the market that they contribute some of those qualities mentioned, but none of them It presents all the features at once. They are also well-known socks with chemical finishes to try to solve those problems, although the properties do not remain constantly, since the chemical components are removed quickly after very Few socks wash.

Description of the invention

The garment of the invention, materialized in a sock, it is totally innovative in its characteristics and allows to solve the problem stated above, guaranteeing the properties of breathability, bactericides, healing and regeneration of the skin, as the user needs. That is, the garment or sock provides high breathability thereby increasing the ability to absorb sweat and maintain Dry skin. In addition, it provides bactericidal properties that eliminate All kinds of bacteria and fungi, prevents infections and minimizes odor produced by the feet, providing comfort to these.

Regarding the procedure for obtaining the garment, will be based on a knitting process by weft, being mainly a fabric based on chitin, viscose, polyamide and polyester.

Specifically, the garment or sock is characterized by presenting a structure based on chitin tissue and viscose, this being another fiber combinable with chitin, allowing to act as a healing and regenerating skin, of such that the chitin yarn will form a loop in the inside of the garment, that is, the part that is continuously in skin contact, providing softness, comfort, comfort and a natural feeling, in addition to the properties already commented.

That chitin tissue can be complemented with a polyamide yarn that, due to its elasticity, reinforces and gives adaptability to the corresponding zone, when inserted into the interior of the textile structure determined by the spinning of chitin with viscose or similar and the yarn itself polyamide.

It is also planned that said yarn of polyamide, is complemented with a series of silver particles ionized that provides bactericidal properties and anti-odor

The garment can also be materialized with an area based on the commented textile structure of chitin and polyamide, and a zone of thermo-regulating fabric, which makes it possible for the garment to be suitable for both summer and for winter, as it adapts to the conditions in which it find the user, such as temperature, humidity, etc. The Chitin zone with polyamide will correspond to the plant, heel and toe while the tissue area thermo-regulator will correspond to the instep.

Said thermo-regulating fabric It consists of two types of thread, one of polyester with section corrugated and / or hollow, and another polyamide. The polyester thread is formed by multiple fibers of different cross sections, providing evaporative cooling functions, in order to multiply the area available for film expansion of water and therefore a high rate of evaporation, so that the more the garment is heated with body heat, the more sweat will evaporate quickly and therefore more cool, until an equilibrium point arrives between the body's heat input and the cooling of the garment, which is when the point of thermo-regulation That is, when the user is heated and sweaty, the channels provide cooling by evaporation, keeping the user cool and comfortable while When the user is cold, the hollow fiber reduces the exposure of impact with outside temperatures, keeping the user warm and thermo-regulated.

As for the polyamide thread of said fabric thermo-regulator will present the same characteristics than that used with chitin.

The area of the garment occupied by said fabric thermo-regulator, will correspond to the instep of the foot, where it is not too tight, the mesh being more open and thereby achieving greater perspiration, in addition to that originated by the composition of said tissue itself. The different points that make up the rest of the tissue have a tighter mesh so that it provides greater adaptability and subjection.

Finally, the garment may also incorporate an area of tissue that gives it total adaptability, an area that occupies a front transverse part and is materialized by a different fabric, although with adequate characteristics so that the garment or sock is fully adapted and attached to the foot, but without at any time pressing too much and not causing pain.

As for the properties provided by the chitin to the garment or sock, in addition to those already mentioned and due because chitin is 100% natural, it gives the fibers composed of a total biodegradability and recyclability that, together with its non-toxic character contributes to conservation environmental.

On the other hand, and as discussed with Previously, one of the fundamental properties of chitin is its healing power, based on the reconstruction of the skin by regularly forming the cells that favor the blood clotting, serving as cell support in the Skin regeneration in the affected areas. In addition, their moisturizing and bactericidal properties constitute an excellent complement to preserve wounds from possible infections that retard the healing process.

That is, the properties provided by the use of chitin fiber in the construction of a sock, can be summarized in the following:

-

Coagulation and flocculation capacity that regenerates soft tissue from wounds.

-

Biodegradable.

-

Antimicrobial activity that prevents Fungal and bacterial proliferation.

-

Cellular regenerator that helps increase the reproduction of cells in damaged areas.

-

Body activator (accelerates the cure of the wounds).

-

Tissue regeneration accelerator of the skin.

-

Great Absorption capacity.

-

Softness and comfort.

As for polyamide as a means of reinforcement and of adaptability of the corresponding area of the sock or garment in which it is applied, the incorporation of ionic silver contributes to the garment a series of advantages among which the following:

-

Antibacterial: eliminates fungi, viruses, protozoa and bacteria like any other bacterial agent, preventing bad smell and athlete's foot.

-

Antistatic, that is preventing the accumulation of static elasticity.

-

Thermo-regulator, is say use the thermal conductivity of silver to regulate the body temperature in any situation.

-

Therapeutic driver, where the Silver's electrical conduction capacity is combined with the magnetic fields generated by the human body, providing benefits similar to those obtained with the acupuncture.

       \ newpage
    

In relation to the tissue area thermo-regulator that may include the garment or sock, say that the thermo-regulation that Provides such tissue has a dual function:

1st.- When the user is cold, just before start a physical activity or during a break from it at finish the exercise, body temperature is low, in which case hollow tissue fibers provide thermo-damping protecting the user with maximum lightness The hollow fibers simultaneously insulate the body of the outdoor temperature changes.

2nd.- This fabric evaporates the moisture than other materials during physical exercise and consequent increase in temperatures, thanks to its unique mixture of fibers, these being designed to provide a surface of superior evaporation and extraordinary moisture transport thanks to the channels of the surface of the multichannel fibers. Hollow fibers allow better air circulation and locate the energy in the process of getting an evaporation of incomparable cooling.

Therefore, as a result of the singular combination of fibers, tissue temperature tends to remain within the limits of comfort, so that ability to neutralizing excess heat and cold is the unique property and exclusive thermo-damping that helps keep the user in the comfort temperature zone, avoiding extreme temperature situations.

Finally, say that the sock is materialize without seams to avoid chafing that sometimes produce those, in addition to avoiding skin irritation and prevent that friction and / or moisture wounds occur, since it is a tissue Very soft and flexible.
