JP2001355101A - Sprain preventive socks - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the subject socks capable of protecting the tendon and the ligament from unnecessary load such as blurring and distortion to prevent sprain while providing a mobile part at the ankle through wearing the socks. SOLUTION: This socks comprises unitedly interweaving with a ground knitted part a part having a strong support power covering in a ring shape the center of the calf 3, the top of the ankle 4, the joint of the instep 5 and the joint of the toe 6, and forming a nonstretchable part through sticking a film such as resin to parts 7 and 8 passing through 3, 4, 5 and 6 and running through the inside and outside of the calf.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sock having a function of protecting and supporting muscles, tendons, and ligaments of a lower leg of a wearer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional socks for protecting and supporting lower limbs are each constituted by an elastic ring-shaped portion, a vertical band, and a cylindrical portion.
It is intended for both lower limb protection and support, and does not consider active ankle ligament protection.

[0003]

The socks with the conventional lower limb support are designed to protect all the muscles, tendons and ligaments of the lower limbs, and each purpose has too much purpose and flexibility. Since a certain portion occupies almost the whole, each individual organ cannot be completely protected and may be injured.

[0004] Conventional socks with lower limb support are:
It is designed to cover the upper part of the knee to prevent it from slipping down, and it is not a casual appearance, so it may be unsuitable for everyone.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and when playing various sports or walking casually,
Prevents ankle injuries such as sprains caused by getting on and off the car in advance, protecting the ankle and the other ankle trying to cover it after injury, and being able to go anywhere, The purpose is to provide socks that can be used.

[0006]

The sock of the present invention comprises a thread having a strong supporting force at the lower calf, above the ankle, at the base of the instep, and at the base of the toe in the tubular part of the conventional sock. Weave in general elastic yarn in the other parts, pass through the above part, attach a sheet or film such as resin to the lining of the part that traverses the inner and outer calves, deprive the elasticity, Suppress unnecessarily blurring and twisting to prevent sprains.

Further, by applying a frictional force to the resin sheet adhered to the lining of the sock, the slip is prevented from falling and the blood flow is prevented from being blocked because the sock does not close too much like a conventional sock.

[0008]

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

FIG. 1 shows a sock according to an embodiment of the present invention. The sock 1 has a knitted fabric 2 knitted with ordinary yarns and a calf including elastic fibers having a strong support force. The lower part 3, the ankle part 4, the base 5 of the instep, and the base 6 of the toe are knitted in a ring shape, and a resin sheet or film is attached to the upper and lower calves 7 and 8 in such a manner that the above-mentioned four places are vertically cut. It deprives the elasticity and suppresses the ankle from being unnecessarily shaken and twisted, thereby preventing sprains.

【Example】

The knitted fabric 2 has a conventional flat knitting structure, and the lower part of the calf 3, the upper ankle 4, the base 5 of the instep, and the base of the toe 6 are made of rubber, polyurethane, nylon or the like. Using a material with strong support using elastic fibers, a sheet or film made of silicon, urethane, acrylic resin, etc. is passed through 3, 4, 5, and 6 using a hot melt type, high frequency welder type, A printing method, a sewing machine mounting method, or a method in which the above resin is applied in a liquid state and cured, or the like, is applied.

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be described.

When the sock 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is worn,
The non-stretchable portions 7, 8 supported by the 3, 4, 5, 6 ring-shaped portions suppress unnecessarily lateral deflection and twisting of the ankle and prevent sprains.

[0013] However, by wearing in various sports and everyday life, sprains can be prevented, and when worn, the ankles can be appropriately fixed and the symptoms can be prevented from worsening. .

[0014]

As described above, the present invention prevents the ankle from being sprained and promotes the healing of the sprain by providing a limited stretchable portion and a non-stretchable portion in the knitted fabric of the sock.
