Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sock which can be easily and smoothly worn by an elderly or sick person while ensuring an appropriate tightening force of a mouth portion.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Usually, as shown in FIG.
The socks were worn by the covering yarn of the backing thread, specifically, the appropriate stretch elasticity of the nylon-wound polyurethane for the wearing part 30, the leg part 31, the instep part 32, the bottom part 33, the toe part 34 and the heel part 35. While fitting the legs and feet of a person without wrinkles, the mouth part 30 is further woven with rubber thread,
It has been practiced to prevent the socks from slipping off due to the large elasticity of the rubber thread.

[0003] When an elderly or sick person who has been sleeping for a long period of time tries to wear socks by himself without disturbing others' hands, the muscles of the legs and hips are weak. It is difficult to wear with movement, it is often cumbersome to support the body with one hand, hold the sock's mouth with the remaining hand, put the toe into the sock's mouth, pull up the sock, and put on the foot .

[0004]

However, in the conventional knitting method, the elasticity of the mouthpiece of the sock is set large to prevent the sock from slipping off, so that the elderly or sick person can wear the sock with one hand. It is difficult to insert the toe into the mouth part with a hand, even if it can be inserted well, it can not pull up the sock this time, and after all, it often disturbs the caregiver's hands, which is why wear socks When it was a psychological burden.

[0005] In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a sock that can be easily worn by an elderly or sick person while securing an appropriate tightening force of a mouthpiece.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor has found that it is necessary to reduce the stretch elasticity of the sock's mouth portion. If the elasticity is simply reduced, the socks will easily slip off.On the other hand, pile knit sinker knitting is adopted in the latter half of the mouth section, and if the rubber thread is appropriately skipped in the course direction and knitted, the elasticity is small and the elasticity is low. Focusing on the fact that it can be knitted so as to be two to three times more than pile knitting or flat knitting, and that the socks can be prevented from slipping off due to the elasticity of the front half of the mouth part, and to complete the present invention Reached.

That is, a sock according to the present invention is a sock formed by knitting a toe, an instep, a bottom, a heel, a leg, and a mouthpiece with a knitting yarn and a covering yarn and / or a rubber yarn. The rear portion of the mouthpiece has at least one
The present invention is characterized in that the book yarn is knitted by pile knitting with a sinker, and a rubber yarn or a covering yarn is knitted as a back yarn while skipping one or three stitches in the course direction.

[0008] One of the features of the present invention is that the latter half of the mouth portion of the sock is knitted by pile knitting with a sinker.
Moreover, the rubber yarn is woven while skipping one or three stitches in the course direction.

[0009] As a result, the latter half of the mouth portion of the sock grows more than twice as much as flat knitting or pile knitting, so that the elderly or sick with weak leg muscles can support the body with one hand and remain. If you hold the second half of the sock's mouth with your hands and try to insert your toe into the sock's mouth, the second half of the sock's mouth stretches greatly with a small force, and the toe is easily and smoothly inserted into the mouth. Can be.

When the sock is pulled up after the toe is inserted into the mouth part, the whole part of the mouth part is sufficiently extended due to the small elasticity of the rear half, and the sock is pulled up lightly and smoothly, so that the sock is put on the foot. You can wear it.

[0011] In particular, when the pile knitting is performed with a sinker, and the rubber thread is knitted while skipping one or three stitches in the course direction, the rear half of the mouth part becomes higher than the front half, so that the shape of the shoehorn is changed. As a result, even an elderly or sick person with weak muscles in the legs and legs can securely grasp the second half of the mouthpiece, insert a toe into the mouthpiece, and pull up the sock.

Further, since the rear half of the mouth portion has a small elasticity due to the characteristics of the sinker knitting, it has moderate elasticity as a whole in combination with the large elasticity of the front half of the mouth portion, so that the socks slip down. Can be reliably prevented.

Here, the front half and the rear half of the mouth part refer to the front half and the rear half when the mouth part is divided into two front and rear parts.
Depending on other conditions, socks in which the first half is large and whose second half is small are included, and conversely, socks in which the first half is large and the second half are small are also included.

The reason why the rubber yarn or the covering yarn is knitted while skipping one or three stitches in the course direction as the backing yarn of the rear half of the mouth portion is to secure a suitable stretch elasticity, In such a case, the elasticity may be too small to withstand use.

The present invention can be applied to both socks with short legs and high socks with long legs.

The toe, instep, bottom, heel and leg of the sock may be knitted in any knitting method. Specifically, it may be appropriately selected according to the use of the sock. Knitting,
It can be knitted by mesh knitting, pile knitting or a combination thereof.

The knitting yarn used in the rear half of the cuff portion is a single yarn of No. 5 to No. 15 or a cotton-acryl mixed yarn as a front yarn, or a No. 15 to No. 30 wool or a wool-acryl mixed yarn as a back yarn. It can be knitted by using one 90th to 100th rubber yarn or covering yarn, and 2 to 3 second to 15th cotton yarns or cotton-acryl mixed yarns as the surface yarns, or 7th yarns No. 25 or No. 25 wool or acryl-blend yarn as one backing yarn.
It can be knitted by using a number 1 to 100 number rubber thread or covering yarn.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to specific examples shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of a sock according to the invention. In the figure, the sock is the mouthpiece 1
0, leg portion 11, instep portion 12, bottom portion 13, heel portion 15, and toe portion 14.

The front half 20 of the mouthpiece 10 is made of two # 8 to # 15 hair acrylic mixed yarns.
It is knitted by pile knitting, and the back yarn is used to make one 9
Knitted using No. 0 rubber thread.

The rear half 21 of the cuff portion 10 is knitted by pile knitting with a sinker and two yarns of a No. 7 to No. 15 hair acrylic blended yarn. No. 90 rubber thread is woven by skipping three stitches.

The leg 11, the instep 12, the bottom 1
3. The heel part 15 and the toe part 14 are numbered 7 to 1 as the front thread
The 5th hair acrylic blended yarn is knitted by pile knitting using one 90th rubber thread as one nylon wound polyurethane thread consisting of 40 denier nylon and 70 denier polyurethane as the backing yarn. I have.

Here, the pile knitting in this example will be described. As shown in FIG.
On the other hand, the knitting is performed while the back thread 41 is not put on the head 51 and the rubber thread 44 is not put on the head of the sinker 50 while skipping an appropriate number of stitches in the course direction. Therefore, the height of the pile 43 is determined by the dimension t in FIG.

On the other hand, a description will be given of pile knitting with a sinker. As shown in FIG. 3, a method of knitting the back yarn 41 in pile knitting on the head 51 of the sinker 50 in the same manner as the front yarn 40, In this case, both the yarns 40 and 41 become the front yarns, and the rubber yarns 44 substitute for the back yarns.

Therefore, although pile 43 like pile knitting cannot be formed by sinker-laying knitting, the stretch elasticity is small,
The socks are the same size as pile knitting, but the elongation is 2 to 3 times as large and the tightening is small, so the socks
As shown in (2), the rear half portion 21 has a shape that is larger than the front half portion, specifically, a shape like a shoehorn.

When an elderly or sick person with weak legs wears the above socks, the elderly or sick person supports the body with one hand,
Hold the second half 21 of the sock mouthpiece 10 with the remaining hand,
Since the latter half 21 is larger than the former half 20 and is in the form of a shoehorn, the elderly or sick can easily and surely hold the latter 21 by hand.

Next, the toe is inserted into the mouthpiece 10.
The rear half 21 of the mouth part 10 of the sock has a smaller elasticity than the front half 20 and the elongation is more than twice that of the flat knitting or pile knitting. It is greatly extended by force, and the toe can be easily and smoothly inserted into the mouthpiece 10.

Finally, the socks are pulled up after the toe is inserted into the mouthpiece portion 10. The socks portion 10 is fully extended due to the small elasticity of the rear half portion 21, so that the socks can be pulled up lightly and smoothly. You can wear socks on your feet.
