Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reinforced sock a tiptoe part and a heel part of which are reinforced so as to solve the problem that such parts of a sock are easily worn out. <P>SOLUTION: The reinforced sock has the following structure: a semi-circular sheet is joined with an arc line generally forming a shape of the front edge of a sock as a tiptoe part by a synthetic resin hot-melt method in accordance with the arc line; and a circular sheet made by putting semi-circular sheets together so as to be face-to-face is bonded to the heel part via resin like in the tiptoe part. In the structure, reinforcing strength can be regulated via the amount of resin to be used, or material or thickness of the sheet. The resin can be applied to the semi-circular sheet in advance and thereby all a user has to do is to prepare heat resource such as iron when bonding so that reinforcing material can be provided as home use. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to reinforced socks. .

Naturally, there is a concept of reinforcing socks, but most of the materials are related to fiber and knitting (such as double), and there are few things to join and reinforce sheets such as cloth. This seems to be due to a method that is unfamiliar with the production of socks, but its advantages should also be considered. In addition, there is a sheet with a synthetic resin thinly attached to cloth, etc., but it is currently used for repair at home when it is torn, and it is a method of using a fixed shape for reinforcement from the beginning Is not established.

  Generally, socks are easily damaged at the toe and heel, but this is caused by the toenails, especially the toenails, and the heel is heavy and wears the fabric. Is the cause.

  The front end of the sock that is easily damaged and the rear end that is the heel part are arced in line with the shape of the fingertips and heel, respectively. A sheet having a shape as a part thereof is bonded to a fragile front end or rear end in the vicinity of the front end or rear end by heat-melting synthetic resin instead of bonding such as sewing with a thread. The sheet is joined inside the sock (with the sock turned upside down).

  The effect of a sheet with a part of the shape of this arc-shaped line is, in extreme cases, when the sock is worn when the sheet is made by joining a sheet like a board and the sock is worn, socks The arcuate line is kept in its original position and is not displaced by the movement of the foot, and the nail or heel of the fingertip always hits this plate, so that the reinforcing effect can be surely obtained. Corresponding to the effect of this plate is the thickness of the sheet with the shape of an arc-shaped line and the elasticity with respect to bending and bonding with synthetic resin, and the part where the sheet is bonded is thicker than other parts, so it is difficult to bend, In addition, it becomes harder to bend and bend than other parts even when joining with synthetic resin, and it works in the direction to suppress the deviation at the time of wearing.

  A bow-shaped sheet with strings in an arcuate line is an effective shape that can be used not only as a toe portion but also as a reinforcing sheet for the heel portion. In particular, if the arcuate sheet is semicircular, it is convenient for manufacturing and joining the sheets.

  If the sheet is joined with the socks turned upside down, when worn, the sheet is not visible inside, and the appearance is a sock that is knitted so that an aesthetic point of view can be obtained.

  Sheet joining by heat melting of the resin becomes strong against tearing by squeezing the sheet with a resin cloth or the like, or forming a thin film, and does not spread even if it tears. The strength can be adjusted by the amount of resin used for bonding, the material and thickness of the sheet, etc., so it can be easily handled for sports.

  In addition, it is easier to perform industrial processing and processing time than sewing with thread.

  If a sheet having a large number of holes or a mesh is used, it is possible to provide a non-peeling and improved air permeability.

  An embodiment of the invention will be described based on an example with reference to the drawings.

An arc-shaped line 12 shown by a thick line in FIG. 1 is a general shape line of socks, and tearing by a toe nail occurs at a location of the reinforcing portion 13 indicated by a diagonal line at the tip of the sock.
The sock 11 is in an inverted state with the instep side up, but a sheet 14 having the shape of the arcuate line 12 is placed on a part thereof so that the arcuate lines 12 are aligned with each other, and a synthetic resin such as polyurethane or polyamide resin is used. Reinforce bonding by heat melting.

  FIG. 2 shows the reinforcement of the heel part, and the sock 21 turned upside down with the sole turned up and the sheet 24 having the shape of the arc line 22 on a part of the sock 21 are joined together by joining the arc-shaped lines 22 and 22 together. And reinforce.

  When the socks are stored in a chiffon or the like, the socks are generally folded at the center lines 15 and 25, but in resin bonding, it becomes difficult to bend due to the thickness of the sheet or the thickness of the resin. In this Example 2 and the following Example 3, it is possible to provide a sock that is easy to bend and folds, excluding its drawbacks.

  The sheet 34a and the sheet 34b in FIG. 3 are halves of the sheet 14 in FIG. 1, but if this is resin-bonded to the position of the sheet 14, there is no sheet or resin on the center line, so it is easy to bend and clean socks I can collapse.

  Further, it can be used as a reinforcing sheet for socks having a shape like a tabi having a toe line divided into a thumb and other fingers.

  The sheet 44a and the sheet 44b in FIG. 4 are obtained by halving the sheet 24 in FIG. 2. However, if the sheets 24 are respectively joined to the position of the sheet 24 by resin, there is no sheet or resin on the center line, so that the sheet 44a and 44b are easily bent. Further, if the sheet 44a and the sheet 44b have the same shape and the same size as the sheet 14, the shapes can be shared, which is convenient.

  Rather than adhering the molten resin to the entire joining surface, the molten resin is adhered in the form of dots or lines having a gap between the bonding resins (particularly, a line parallel to the center line).

  Alternatively, the portions along the center line 15 and the center line 25 are prevented from adhering resin to the sheet.

  Example 4 is a method of preparing a sheet 14 with a resin attached in advance and a sheet of each shape. However, if this reinforcing sheet is prepared at home or the like, it is necessary to melt the resin at the time of joining. It is convenient because only the heat source (iron etc.) can be prepared.

  In order to cope with the fact that the shape of the arc-shaped line 12 is slightly different depending on each sock, by making the shape of the sheet 14 semi-circular, it becomes easy to cope with each difference by performing slight processing. Along with this, the sheet 24 is circular and the sheets 34a and 34b are divided into quarters, and can be reused by sharing the shape.

  Even if the sheet is not formed in the desired shape, a resin is attached in advance to a large sheet or tape-like sheet on which a plurality of the same shapes or arbitrary shapes as the sheet 14 are printed, and cut out with scissors at the time of use. There is also a method of forming and using. By printing the circle and its diameter, two semicircular sheets can be cut out and formed.
