Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a piece of socks giving the wearer no incompatible feeling or causing no pain when worn and also hard to get torn, wherein the sewn portion thereof does not come out of a piece of shoes. SOLUTION: This piece of socks has the following structure: a highly shrinkable part 4 formed on a sole side 3 in the vicinity of an opening part 2 at one end of a cylindrically knitted body 1 wherein the above-mentioned opening part 2 is positioned on the sole side 3 of a toe part 5 and also made by sewing it up in the longitudinal direction of the sole.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to improvements in various types of socks such as stockings such as pantyhose, tights, and socks.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A sock such as a pantyhose is manufactured by suturing one end of a tubular knitted body to serve as a toe portion.

[0003] However, conventional socks, when worn,
The sutured part hit the toes of the toes, and often felt discomfort and pain.

[0004] Therefore, utility model registration No. 3056820
Some socks have been modified so that the stitching part is located on the sole side, as shown in the figure, but even with this sock, the stitching part takes a large weight and is located in the raised part near the base of the finger on the sole Therefore, when worn, the foot sole often feels uncomfortable or painful.

[0005] Further, since the sewn portion is sewn to the left and right sides of the sole, the sewn portion reaches both the left and right sides of the foot and hits the left and right sides of the foot when wearing shoes. I often felt pain. Further, when the shoe is worn, both sides of the sewn portion may be exposed outside the shoe, and the appearance may be poor.

Moreover, the sock is pulled in the front-back direction of the sole when the sock is worn, so that the sewn portion is torn,
Often torn.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention
An object of the present invention is to provide a sock that does not cause discomfort or pain when worn, does not expose a sewn portion from shoes, and is hard to tear.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention employs the following technical means.

In the sock according to the present invention, a high shrinkage portion 4 is formed in a portion to be the sole 3 near one opening 2 of one end of the tubular knitted body 1, and the opening 2 is connected to the sole 3 of the toe 5. And stitched in the longitudinal direction of the sole.

The main body of the tubular knitted body 1 can be knitted by plain knitting, and the high shrinkage portion 4 can be knitted by combining tack knitting and float knitting.

The sewn opening 2 and the high shrinkage 4
May have an interval.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the sock of the present invention, a high contraction portion 4 is formed in a portion to be the sole 3 near one end of the tubular knitted body 1 near the opening 2, and the opening 2 is connected to the sole 3 of the toe 5. And stitched in the longitudinal direction of the sole.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a tubular knitted body 1. The tubular knitted body 1 has a main body (a part excluding the high shrinkage portion 4) knitted by plain knitting, and has a high shrinkage portion 4 formed near the opening 2 at one end.

As the material of the tubular knitted body 1, for example, in the case of pantyhose, any suitable material can be used according to the type of sock, such as elastic fibers obtained by covering nylon with nylon. The method of knitting, the thickness, and the density of the stitches can also be appropriately set for each part.

The high-shrinkage portion 4 is a portion that is harder to expand and contract than the main body of the tubular knitted body 1, and is continuously woven into the main body. The high shrinkage portion 4 is knitted by combining a tack knit which is hard to expand in the vertical direction and a float knit which is hard to expand in the horizontal direction, but is not limited to this. The shape of the high shrinkage portion 4 is not limited to the shape shown in the figure, and may be an appropriate shape such as a triangle, a square, and an ellipse.

In the illustrated embodiment, the stitched opening 2 and the high-shrinkage portion 4 have an interval, but they may be in contact with each other.

In order to manufacture this sock, first, the tubular knitted body 1 is elongated in the longitudinal direction.

FIG. 2 is a view showing a state where the tubular knitted body 1 is extended, and FIG. 3 is a view showing a side surface thereof. Tubular knitted body 1
Is extended in the longitudinal direction (vertical direction in FIGS. 2 and 3), the high contraction portion 4 is difficult to expand.
Are located on the sole side 3 where Then, the opening 2 is
Suture in the anterior-posterior direction of the sole.

FIG. 4 is a view showing the sole side 3 of the completed sock, and FIG. 5 is a view showing a state where the sock is mounted on the foot.

When the sock is worn, the stitched portion of the opening 2 is located on the sole side 3 of the toe 5, so that the wearer does not feel discomfort or pain in the toe.

The raised portion near the base of the finger on the sole 3 receives a large weight, but since the suturing portion extends in the front-back direction of the sole, the suturing portion and the vicinity of the base of the finger are close to each other. The contact area is small, and there is little pain or discomfort in the raised part near the base of the finger.

Moreover, since the direction in which the suturing portion extends is the front-back direction of the sole, even if the sock is pulled in the long direction,
The suturing portion is not easily torn and can withstand long-term use. Further, when the shoe is worn, both sides of the sewn portion are not exposed outside the shoe, so that the appearance does not deteriorate.

[0024]

The sock of the present invention is configured as described above, and does not cause discomfort or pain when worn.
The sewn parts are not exposed from the shoes and are not easily torn.
