Description

【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、人体の爪先の形状に合わせ、小指側よりも親指側の編地面積が大きくなるように設計したソックスに関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
図４Ａに示す如く丸編機によるソックス１０１の編成は、一般に穿口部１０２から筒状に編成を開始し、脚部１０３に次いで必要に応じ踵部のヒールポケット１０４を編成し又は編成せずに足部１０５，爪先部１０６の編成をし、最後に爪先部と足部との間に生じた開口をリンキング等１１３により閉じて製品とする。足部１０５，爪先部１０６は着用時上面側に位置する胛側編地１０７と下面側に位置する足底側編地１０８とよりなり、足部１０５の編地は編機シリンダの回転により環状に、足部に続く先端の爪先部１０６は、足底側の編地１０８を編機の回転範囲を適宜コース順次縮少することにより台形編地１０９を編成して爪先先端のコース１１０まで編成し、その後は、前記編幅を縮少した編成とは逆に同コース数編幅を増大しつつ台形編地１１１を編成する。この編幅を増大しつつ編成された台形編地１１１は、爪先部最先端のコース１１０から爪先部の胛側の編地となり、足底側の台形編地１０９と胛側の台形編地１１１とはその編地両端で綴じ合わされゴアライン１１２を形成して袋状となり、爪先部最終のコースと、前記筒状に編成された足部１０５の胛側の編地１０７の最終コースとの間に開口を作る。この開口はリンキング等適宜手段１１３により閉じられる。
【０００３】
然し、この手段によって編成されたソックスを、偏平に畳んだ状態での爪先部１１６の平面視は、左右対象の台形をなし足に着用した際に足指の形状に添う形とは言えず、親指の当たる部分は編地が伸びて変形することになり、編地を傷める原因ともなっている。そのため使用中足の形とソックスの平面形状とが一致するように親指側の編地を突出させたソックスが考えられた（例えば特許文献１参照）。
【０００４】
また、丸編機によるソックス爪先部の編成において、足底側編地の編成の際に、シリンダを往復回転しその往復動時に、少なく共一方側において編目数を多く減らすことによって、編成するコース幅の中心をコース編成の都度親指側に移行させ、作られた台形の編地の各コース中心を親指側に振らし、爪先最先端コースで最も振り幅を減少してから胛側編地の編成に移り、以後足底側編地の編成とは逆にコースごとに編目数を増加して足底側編地と対称形の胛側編地を編成し、各コース端において足底側編地と胛側編地とを編み綴じることで爪先の袋部分を編成したソックスが考えられた（例えば特許文献２参照）。
【０００５】
然し、上記文献１に記載されたソックスは厚味増加編立部分を有することで親指側の爪先部分の袋体は大きくふくらむが、爪先部分の（胛側編地と足底側編地との接合部分にはゴアラインが生じ、これを平面視的に見れば、爪先部先端を除き爪先部周縁にゴアラインが位置することになる。このゴアラインの位置については特許文献２に記載されたソックスでも同様位置となる。
【０００６】
スポーツ時に着用するソックスにあっては足を保護する目的で太糸により厚手に編成されるが、そのような編成を行いゴアラインが爪先の周縁に発現するような編成手段を採用した場合、ゴアラインを構成する編糸が着用者の指先或いは指周縁に当たり不快感を生じ、更には足を傷めることにもなり兼ねない。この点において紳士用ソックスにあっても編地は厚くないが同様の障害の恐れは生ずる。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は上記の点に鑑みて、足の爪先の形状に合わせ、小指側よりも親指側の編地面積を大きくし、かつ、平面視爪先部周縁にゴアラインが位置することによる履心地の低下を生ずることのないソックスを得ることを目的とする。
【０００９】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項１記載の発明においては、胛側編地と足底側編地とをその外縁を一にして重ね、前記両編地それぞれの、踵部から爪先部に至る長手方向に延びる中心線上に基点を定め、胛側編地と足底側編地のそれぞれに、ソックス外面より見て対称形に前記基点から長さの異なる２以上の連続するゴアラインを前記両編地の爪先部に形成し、小指側よりも親指側の爪先部において編地面積を大きくした。
請求項２記載の発明においては、ゴアラインをＶ字状としている。
請求項３記載の発明においては、ゴアラインはＶ字の一辺が、更に分岐したＹ字状としている。
【００１０】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明ソックスはトウポケットよりなる爪先部の形状に特徴を有するもので、シリンダの往復回転により編成されるトウポケットよりなる爪先部の編成時、編成の中心を、足部編地の平面視における編成の中心位置より９０°変位させることによってトウポケットに作られるゴアラインをソックスの胛側編地と足底側編地内面に発現させ前記両編地の周縁には発現しないようにしたものである。
【００１１】
本発明ソックス１は丸編靴下編機により穿口部２，脚部３，踵部４，足部５，爪先部６と連続して筒状に編成される。此の間踵部４には必要に応じて常法によりヒールポケット７が作られる。ヒールポケット７を設けない場合には、脚部３に続いて足部５を環状に編成する。ヒールポケット７を設ける場合は環状に編成していた脚部３の編成が終了したときに、図１Ｂに示すシリンダＳに挿入された半数のｃ，ｄ，ａの範囲の針（図示せず）を休止させａ，ｂ，ｃの範囲の針（図示せず）によってシリンダの往復回転による編成を続行し、かつ、適宜コース数ごとに端部に位置する編成中の針を休止位置に置くことで前記シリンダの往復編成による編み幅を減じ台形の編地７ａを作る（図１Ｃ参照）。このときシリンダＳの往復回転により編成されたコースの中心は図１Ｂに示すｂ点である。
【００１２】
所定コース数編成後、今度は逆に同範囲（ａ，ｂ，ｃ）の針により編幅を増加しつつ前記同様ｂ点を中心に往復回転し台形編地７ａとは対称形をなした台形編地７ｂを編成する。台形編地７ａ，７ｂはその両側端縁で編みとじされゴアライン８を形成し袋状にヒールポケット７を作る。踵部４の編成が終了すると休止していたｃ，ｄ，ａの範囲の針も編成位置に移しシリンダＳの連続回転により環状に足部５の編成を行う。ｃ，ｄ，ａの範囲の針で編成された編地が胛側編地５１となりａ，ｂ，ｃの範囲の針で編成された編地が足底側編地５２となる。足部５は環状に編成されるから胛側編地５１と足底側編地５２とを重ね偏平にした状態での踵部から爪先部に延びる足部中心線ｘ−ｘは図１Ｃのｂ−ｂ線とｄ−ｄ線の重なった線となる。足部５を所定コース数編成した後爪先部６のトウポケット９の編成に移る。
【００１３】
爪先部６の編成はヒールポケット７を編成したシリンダＳのａ，ｂ，ｃの範囲の針と９０°位相をずらせたｂ，ｃ，ｄの範囲の針でシリンダの往復回転で編成を行う。前記往復動の中心は図１Ｂのｃであり、先に踵部４のヒールポケット７を編成した針の中心ｂとは位相上９０°ずれた位置の針となる。
上記ｂ，ｃ，ｄの範囲の針を用いシリンダＳの往復回転によってトウポケット９の編成を開始するが、編成されるコースの開始点・基点Ｐはｂ又はｄの針ということになり、このｂ，ｄの針は前述の如く、胛側編地５１と足底側編地５２とを重ね偏平にした状態で足部を爪先方向に延びるに中心線ｘ−ｘ上に位置することになる。即ち、トウポケット９編成の開始点Ｐは上記足部中心線ｘ−ｘ上にあり、後述する如く、トウポケット９の構成により作られるゴアライン１０の基点も同一位置となる。
【００１４】
トウポケット９の編成は、次の如く行われる。編成を開始しつつ所定コース編成して後、次いで逆に振り幅を増大しつつ同一コース編成して第２の台形編地９ｂを編成する。そして、上記第１，第２の台形編地９ａ，９ｂはヒールポケット７と同様にそれぞれのコースの端部でゴアライン１０を京成して９１を構成する。第１の袋体９１はｃｄ間の針で編成された編地が胛側編地となりｂｃ間の針で編成された編地が足底側編地５２となる。そして、上記第１，第２の台形編地９ａ，９ｂの端縁にはゴアライン１０ａが構成される。このゴアライン１０ａは、胛側編地と足底側編地の双方に発現する。
【００１５】
第２の台形編地９ｂに続いて第３，第４の台形編地９ｃ，９ｄの編成を行う。これらの編成は第１，第２の台形編地９ａ，９ｂの編成と同様に第３の台形編地９ｃが第２の台形編地９ｂの長辺に続いて編成を開始されコースの編成が進むにつれて編幅を縮少し、所定の編幅となってからは逆に編幅を増大してｂ，ｃ，ｄ範囲まで編幅を増加させて第４の台形編地９ｄの編成を終る。上記の編成において第１の台形編地９ａと第２の台形編地９ｂのコース端縁が編み綴じされて第１の袋体９１とゴアライン１０ａが作られ、第３の台形編地９ｃと第４の台形編地９ｄのコース端縁が編みとじされて第２の袋体９２とゴアライン１０ｂが作られる。ゴアライン１０ａ，１０ｂはいずれも胛側編地５１と足底側編地５２の爪先部から踵部に至る長手方向に延びる中心線ｘ−ｘ線上にある基点Ｐから爪先方向に延びることになる。
【００１６】
図示の例では、第３，第４の台形編地９ｃ，９ｄによって作られた第２の袋体９２のゴアライン１０ｂの方が第１，第２の台形編地９ａ，９ｂで作られた第１の袋体９１のゴアライン１０ａより長い。これは台形編地９ｃ，９ｄのコース数を多くすることにより第２の袋体９２を大きくし台形編地９ｃ，９ｄの端縁部分の長さを長くするためであり、また、このようにすることによりって該部の編地の面積を大きくすることにもなっている。上記ゴアライン１０ａ，１０ｂは共に胛側と足底側編地の双方にソックス外面より見て対称に発現するものでありソックス１の爪先部６の周縁にはゴアラインは存在することはない。
【００１７】
編地の面積を大きくするためにはゴアラインの形状を変化させれば良く図２Ｂに示す第２の例のごとくアラインの親指側のゴアラインを先端付近でＹ字状に更に分岐させることでその部分に更に袋体を増加させることも出来る。
【００１８】
シリンダーＳのｂ，ｃ，ｄ間の針により台形編地９ｄの長辺コースまで編成が終了した後に、該長辺コースと先にシリンダーＳのｂ，ｃ，ｄ間の針により編成し編成を休止していた足部５の最終コースとの間に開いている開口部をリンキング或いは縫着等適宜手段により綴じ合わせる。図２における１１はリンキングラインである。
【００１９】
更に図２Ｃに示す第３の例では、爪先部６の範囲を広げ、爪先部６の形状を足先の形状により一層添い易くするために、図２Ａに示す第１の例の足部５と爪先部６の間に環状に補整帯１２を設けている。補整帯１２はシリンダＳに挿入された針を２群に分け、その群の適宜数の針でシリンダの往復回転による半筒形の編地を作り、爪先先端部分の編成後別途一群の適宜数の針で前記同様半筒形の編地を作り両編地の端縁を編み綴じした筒状となしている。
【００２０】
その編成は次の如くして行なわれる。足部５の環状編成が終了した後、図１Ｂに示すシリンダＳのｄ，ａ，ｂの針は休止位置に置きシリンダＳのｂ，ｃ，ｄの範囲の針を用いシリンダの往復回転でコースの編成が進むにつれてその往復動の振り幅を減じつつ台形編地１２ａの編成を行う。
この振り幅の減少は極めてゆるいものとして編み上がった編地幅が急激に縮少しないようにする。また続いて編成する台形編地と同等の振り幅縮小率として両台形編地の端縁の線が一直線となるようにしても良い。
【００２１】
台形編地１２ａの編成に続き台形編地９ａの編成に移る。爾後第１の例と同様に台形編地９ｂ，９ｃ，９ｄを編成し、台形編地９ｄの長辺に続き台形編地１２ｂを往復編成し、漸次編幅を増大し、台形編地１２ａと対称の編地１２ｂとする。上記台形編地の編成において、台形編地９ａと９ｂ、同９ｃと９ｄ、１２ａと１２ｂとはそれぞれコース端縁において編みとじされてい、該部にゴアライン１０ａ，１０ｂ，１３ａが作られる。台形編地１２ｂの往復編成の端部では編地１２ａのコース端部の針に保持されていた編地に編み綴じされ台形編地１２ａ，１２ｂにより環状の補整帯１２となる。台形編地１２ｂの最終コースと足部５の最終コースとの間には開口部が形成されるので、リンキングマシンによりリンキングライン１１を構成し或いは縫着するなど適宜手段により開口を閉じる。
【００２２】
上記環状に形成された補正帯は緩かに屈曲して足部から爪先の形状に良く添はせる事が出来るために、爪先部にのみ台形編地を配し袋体を作った場合に比して編地にゆとりが生じ良好に足部及び爪先部を保護することが出来る。
【００２３】
上記の例はいずれも爪先部の編成は親指側から開始され小指側で終了しているためにリンキングライン１１が小指側に現われているが、爪先部の編成時、足部に続いて図１Ｂに示すシリンダＳのｄ，ａ，ｂの範囲の針で爪先部の編成を行なえば爪先部の編み終りは親指側の胛側及び足底側編地に位置することになり親指側にリンキングライン１１が出現する。
【００２４】
【発明の効果】
本発明ソックスは、胛側編地と足底側編地とをその外縁を一にして重ね、前記両編地それぞれの、踵部から爪先部に至る長手方向に延びる中心線上に基点を定め、胛側編地と足底側編地のそれぞれに、ソックス外面より見て対称形に前記基点から長さの異なる２以上の連続するゴアラインを前記両編地の爪先部に形成したために、爪先部分における人体の形状にあわせ、小指側よりも親指側の編地面積を大きくすることが出来、かつ、ゴアラインの発現する位置が胛側編地面と足底側編地面の内側に位置することになり爪先部周縁に発現することはないため着用時ゴアラインを構成する編糸が着用者の爪先或いは指周縁に当たり不快感を生じ更には足を傷めることもない。
特にスポーツソックスの如き厚手の編地に対し有効である。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a sock designed such that the area of the fabric on the thumb side is larger than that on the little finger side in accordance with the shape of the toe of the human body.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As shown in FIG. 4A, knitting of a sock 101 by a circular knitting machine generally starts knitting in a cylindrical shape from a perforated portion 102, and then knits or does not knit a heel pocket 104 of a heel portion as required after the leg portion 103. Then, the foot 105 and the toe 106 are knitted, and finally the opening formed between the toe and the foot is closed by linking or the like 113 to obtain a product. The foot portion 105 and the toe portion 106 are composed of a shell-side knitted fabric 107 located on the upper surface side and a sole-side knitted fabric 108 located on the lower surface side when worn, and the knitted fabric of the foot portion 105 is annular by rotation of the knitting machine cylinder. In addition, the toe 106 at the tip following the foot is knitted into a trapezoidal knitted fabric 109 by sequentially reducing the rotation range of the knitting machine of the knitted fabric 108 on the sole side as appropriate in the course, and knitting to the course 110 at the tip of the toe. After that, the trapezoidal knitted fabric 111 is knitted while increasing the knitting width of the same number of courses, contrary to the knitting in which the knitting width is reduced. The trapezoidal knitted fabric 111 knitted while increasing the knitting width becomes a knitted fabric on the toe side from the foremost course 110, and a trapezoidal knitted fabric 109 on the sole side and a trapezoidal knitted fabric 111 on the bevel side. Are bound at both ends of the knitted fabric to form a gore line 112 to form a bag, and between the last course of the toe portion and the last course of the knitted fabric 107 on the side of the shell of the foot portion 105 knitted in a tubular shape. Make an opening. This opening is closed by appropriate means 113 such as linking.
[0003]
However, the sock knitted by this means, in a plan view of the toe portion 116 in a state where it is folded flat, cannot be said to be a shape that conforms to the shape of the toe when worn on the foot without a trapezoidal shape symmetrical left and right, The part hit by the thumb causes the knitted fabric to be stretched and deformed, causing damage to the knitted fabric. Therefore, a sock in which the knitted fabric on the thumb side is projected so that the shape of the in-use foot and the planar shape of the sock match with each other has been considered (for example, see Patent Document 1).
[0004]
Further, in knitting of a sock toe portion by a circular knitting machine, a knitting course is performed by knitting the knitted fabric by knitting the sole side knitted fabric by reciprocatingly rotating the cylinder and reducing the number of stitches on at least one side during the reciprocating motion. Shift the center of the width to the thumb side every time the course is knitted, swing the center of each course of the created trapezoidal knitted fabric to the thumb side, reduce the swing width most in the toe tip cutting course, and then Moved to knitting, and thereafter, in contrast to the knitting of the sole side knitting, the number of stitches was increased for each course to knit the sole side knitting and the symmetrical shell side knitting, and the sole side knitting at the end of each course A sock in which a bag portion of a toe is knitted by knitting a ground and a shell side knitted fabric has been considered (for example, see Patent Document 2).
[0005]
However, the sock described in Document 1 has a thickened knitted portion, so that the bag body of the toe portion on the thumb side swells greatly. A gore line is formed at the joint portion, and when viewed in a plan view, the gore line is located at the periphery of the toe except for the tip of the toe.The same applies to the position of the gore in the sock described in Patent Document 2. Position.
[0006]
In the case of socks worn during sports, it is thickly knitted with thick yarn for the purpose of protecting the feet, but if such knitting is performed and knitting means that the gore line appears on the periphery of the toe, the gore line is used. The knitting yarn may hit the wearer's fingertip or the periphery of the finger, causing discomfort and possibly damaging the foot. In this respect, even though the men's socks have a thin knitted fabric, the same risk of obstacles arises.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In view of the above, in view of the above, in accordance with the shape of the toe of the foot, the area of the knitted fabric on the thumb side is larger than that on the little finger side, and a decrease in comfort due to the presence of the gore line on the periphery of the toe portion in plan view. The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a sock that does not cause any problem.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the invention described in claim 1, the outer side knitted fabric and the sole side knitted fabric are overlapped with their outer edges in one, and each of the two knitted fabrics is positioned on a center line extending in a longitudinal direction from a heel portion to a toe portion. A base point is determined, and two or more continuous gore lines having different lengths from the base point are formed on the toe portions of the both knitted fabrics on the toe side knitted fabric and the sole knitted fabric in a symmetrical shape as viewed from the outer surface of the socks. The area of the knitted fabric was larger at the toe portion on the thumb side than the little finger side.
In the invention according to claim 2, the gore line is V-shaped.
According to the third aspect of the present invention, the gore line is formed in a Y shape in which one side of the V shape is further branched.
[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The sock of the present invention is characterized by the shape of the toe portion consisting of a toe pocket, and when knitting a toe portion consisting of a toe pocket knitted by reciprocating rotation of a cylinder, the center of knitting is in plan view of the foot knitted fabric. The gore line formed in the toe pocket by displacing 90 ° from the center position of the knitting is expressed on the inner surface of the knitted fabric on the side of the socks and the knitted fabric on the sole side so as not to be expressed on the periphery of the two knitted fabrics. .
[0011]
The sock 1 of the present invention is knitted into a cylindrical shape by a circular knit sock knitting machine continuously with the piercing portion 2, the leg portion 3, the heel portion 4, the foot portion 5, and the toe portion 6. During this time, a heel pocket 7 is formed in the heel portion 4 by a conventional method as necessary. When the heel pocket 7 is not provided, the foot 5 is knitted in an annular shape following the leg 3. In the case where the heel pocket 7 is provided, when the knitting of the legs 3 which has been knitted in an annular shape is completed, the needles (not shown) in the range of half of c, d and a inserted into the cylinder S shown in FIG. 1B. To continue knitting by reciprocating rotation of the cylinder with needles (not shown) in the range of a, b, and c, and place the needles at knitting positioned at the ends at the rest positions as appropriate for each number of courses. The knitting width by the reciprocating knitting of the cylinder is reduced to form a trapezoidal knitted fabric 7a (see FIG. 1C). At this time, the center of the course knitted by the reciprocating rotation of the cylinder S is point b shown in FIG. 1B.
[0012]
After the knitting of a predetermined number of courses, the trapezoid which is symmetrical to the trapezoidal knitted fabric 7a by rotating back and forth around the point b as described above while increasing the knitting width by the needles in the same range (a, b, c). The knitted fabric 7b is knitted. The trapezoidal knitted fabrics 7a and 7b are knitted at both side edges to form a gore line 8 and form a heel pocket 7 in a bag shape. When the knitting of the heel 4 is completed, the needles in the range of c, d, and a, which have been suspended, are also moved to the knitting position, and the foot 5 is formed into a ring by the continuous rotation of the cylinder S. The knitted fabric knitted with the needles in the ranges c, d, and a becomes the knitted fabric 51 on the shell side, and the knitted fabric knitted with the needles in the ranges a, b, and c becomes the knitted fabric 52 on the sole side. Since the foot 5 is knitted in an annular shape, the center line xx extending from the heel portion to the toe portion in a state where the upper knitted fabric 51 and the sole knitted fabric 52 are overlapped and flattened is b in FIG. 1C. This is a line in which the -b line and the dd line overlap. After knitting the foot portion 5 by a predetermined number of courses, the process proceeds to knitting of the toe pocket 9 of the toe portion 6.
[0013]
Knitting of the toe portion 6 is performed by reciprocating rotation of the cylinder with needles in the range of a, b, and c of the cylinder S in which the heel pocket 7 is knitted and needles in the range of b, c, and d with a 90 ° phase shift. The center of the reciprocation is c in FIG. 1B, which is a needle which is shifted by 90 ° in phase from the center b of the needle previously knitted the heel pocket 7 of the heel part 4.
The knitting of the toe pocket 9 is started by the reciprocating rotation of the cylinder S using the needles in the ranges b, c and d. The starting point / base point P of the knitted course is the needle b or d. As described above, the needles b and d are located on the center line xx so as to extend the foot portion in the toe direction in a state in which the upper knitted fabric 51 and the sole knitted fabric 52 are overlapped and flattened. . That is, the starting point P of the formation of the toe pocket 9 is on the foot center line xx, and the base point of the gore line 10 formed by the configuration of the toe pocket 9 is also at the same position as described later.
[0014]
The knitting of the toe pocket 9 is performed as follows. After the knitting is started and the predetermined course is knitted, then the same course is knitted while increasing the swing width to knit the second trapezoidal knitted fabric 9b. The first and second trapezoidal knitted fabrics 9a and 9b form the gore line 10 at the ends of the respective courses, similarly to the heel pocket 7, to form 91. In the first bag body 91, the knitted fabric knitted with the needles between cd and cb becomes the blade side knitted fabric, and the knitted fabric knitted with the needles between b and c becomes the sole knitted fabric 52. A gore line 10a is formed at the edge of the first and second trapezoidal knitted fabrics 9a and 9b. The gore line 10a appears on both the knitted fabric on the shell side and the knitted fabric on the sole side.
[0015]
After the second trapezoidal knitted fabric 9b, the third and fourth trapezoidal knitted fabrics 9c and 9d are knitted. In the knitting, the knitting of the third trapezoidal knitted fabric 9c is started following the long side of the second trapezoidal knitted fabric 9b as in the knitting of the first and second trapezoidal knitted fabrics 9a and 9b, and the knitting of the course is started. As the process progresses, the knitting width is reduced to a predetermined knitting width, and thereafter, the knitting width is increased to increase the knitting width to the range of b, c, d, and the knitting of the fourth trapezoidal knitted fabric 9d is completed. In the above knitting, the course edges of the first trapezoidal knitted fabric 9a and the second trapezoidal knitted fabric 9b are knitted and bound to form the first bag body 91 and the gore line 10a, and the third trapezoidal knitted fabric 9c and the The edge of the course of the fourth trapezoidal knitted fabric 9d is knitted to form the second bag body 92 and the gore line 10b. Each of the gore lines 10a and 10b extends in the toe direction from a base point P on a center line xx extending in the longitudinal direction from the toe portion to the heel portion of the blade-side knitted fabric 51 and the sole-side knitted fabric 52.
[0016]
In the illustrated example, the gore line 10b of the second bag body 92 formed by the third and fourth trapezoidal knitted fabrics 9c and 9d is the same as that of the first and second trapezoidal knitted fabrics 9a and 9b. It is longer than the gore line 10a of one bag body 91. This is because the number of courses of the trapezoidal knitted fabrics 9c and 9d is increased to increase the size of the second bag body 92 and lengthen the edge portions of the trapezoidal knitted fabrics 9c and 9d. By doing so, the area of the knitted fabric of the portion is also increased. The gore lines 10a and 10b are both symmetrically expressed on both the shell side and the sole side knitted fabric as viewed from the outer surface of the sock, and the gore line does not exist on the periphery of the toe portion 6 of the sock 1.
[0017]
In order to increase the area of the knitted fabric, the shape of the gore line may be changed, as in the second example shown in FIG. 2B. Furthermore, the number of bags can be further increased.
[0018]
After the knitting to the long side course of the trapezoidal knitted fabric 9d is completed by the needle between the cylinders b, c and d, the knitting is performed by knitting with the long side course and the needle between the cylinders b, c and d first. The opening that is open between the resting foot 5 and the final course is bound by appropriate means such as linking or sewing. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 11 denotes a linking line.
[0019]
Further, in the third example shown in FIG. 2C, in order to widen the range of the toe portion 6 and make the shape of the toe portion 6 more easily conform to the shape of the toe, the foot portion 5 of the first example shown in FIG. A compensation band 12 is provided annularly between the toe portions 6. The compensation band 12 divides the needles inserted into the cylinder S into two groups, forms a semi-cylindrical knitted fabric by reciprocating rotation of the cylinder with an appropriate number of needles of the group, and after knitting the tip end of the toe, separates an appropriate number of groups. In the same manner as described above, a half-cylindrical knitted fabric is formed and the edges of both knitted fabrics are knitted and bound to form a tubular shape.
[0020]
The knitting is performed as follows. After the annular knitting of the foot 5 is completed, the needles d, a, and b of the cylinder S shown in FIG. The knitting of the trapezoidal knitted fabric 12a is performed while the swing width of the reciprocating motion is reduced as the knitting progresses.
This reduction in the swing width is extremely loose so that the width of the knitted fabric does not suddenly decrease. Further, as the swing width reduction rate equivalent to that of the trapezoidal knitted fabric to be subsequently knitted, the lines at the edges of the two trapezoidal knitted fabrics may be aligned.
[0021]
The knitting of the trapezoidal knitted fabric 12a is followed by the knitting of the trapezoidal knitted fabric 9a. Thereafter, the trapezoidal knitted fabrics 9b, 9c and 9d are knitted in the same manner as in the first example, and the trapezoidal knitted fabric 12b is reciprocally knitted following the long side of the trapezoidal knitted fabric 9d to gradually increase the knitting width. The knitted fabric 12b is symmetric. In the knitting of the trapezoidal knitted fabric, the trapezoidal knitted fabrics 9a and 9b, 9c and 9d, and 12a and 12b are knitted at the edge of the course, respectively, and the gore lines 10a, 10b, and 13a are formed in the portions. At the end of the reciprocal knitting of the trapezoidal knitted fabric 12b, the knitted fabric held by the needle at the end of the course of the knitted fabric 12a is stitched and bound to form an annular correction band 12 by the trapezoidal knitted fabrics 12a and 12b. Since an opening is formed between the last course of the trapezoidal knitted fabric 12b and the last course of the foot portion 5, the opening is closed by a linking machine by forming or linking the linking line 11 as appropriate.
[0022]
The ring-shaped correction band is gently bent so that it can be attached to the shape of the toe from the foot well. As a result, the knitted fabric has room and the foot and toe can be well protected.
[0023]
In each of the above examples, the knitting of the toe portion starts from the thumb side and ends on the little finger side, so that the linking line 11 appears on the little finger side. However, when knitting the toe portion, FIG. If the toes are knitted with needles in the range of d, a, and b of the cylinder S shown in (1), the end of knitting of the toes is located on the side of the thumb and the knitted sole, and a linking line is formed on the side of the thumb. 11 appears.
[0024]
【The invention's effect】
The socks of the present invention, the upper side knitted fabric and the sole side knitted fabric are overlapped with their outer edges in one, and each of the two knitted fabrics defines a base point on a center line extending in a longitudinal direction from a heel portion to a toe portion, Since two or more continuous gore lines having different lengths from the base point are formed on the toe portions of both the knitted fabric and the sole-side knitted fabric in a symmetrical shape as viewed from the outer surface of the socks, In accordance with the shape of the human body, the area of the knitted fabric on the thumb side can be made larger than that on the little finger side, and the position where the gore line appears is located inside the knitted ground on the sole side and the knitted ground on the sole side. Since it does not appear on the periphery of the toe, the knitting yarn constituting the gore line at the time of wearing will hit the toe or the periphery of the finger of the wearer, causing no discomfort, and will not damage the foot.
It is particularly effective for thick knitted fabrics such as sports socks.
