  Also, if a vent hole is opened through the inner and outer surfaces, air permeability can be secured.

  The sport stocking of the present invention can be easily manufactured simply by fixing the protector to the required portion of the inner surface of the stocking body at the upper and lower ends, and has an inner moisture absorbing layer on the inner surface side, so that it is comfortable to wear.

  A protector in which the inner buffer layer 9 is polymerized and bonded inside the outer buffer layer 8, and the inner moisture absorbing layer 10 is polymerized and bonded inside the inner buffer layer 9, and for a sport in which this is fixed to a required portion on the inner surface stockings.

  A is a knee 4 having a toe portion 1, a heel portion 2 and an ankle portion 3, a leg portion 5 continuing to the foot portion 4, a leg portion 5, and a mouth rubber portion 6 at the upper end. It is a stocking body consisting of part 7.

B is a protector having a vertically long and rounded inverted trapezoidal shape in which the upper base is slightly longer than the lower base, and the left and right sides are curved backward with respect to the center to form an arcuate cross section.
This protector B is made of a required synthetic resin material, such as EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) or polyethylene, having a certain flexibility and excellent shock buffering properties (shock absorption, impact resilience). An inner buffer layer 9 having a thickness of about 1 to 4 mm made of the same synthetic resin material as the outer buffer layer 8 is polymerized inside the outer buffer layer 8 of about 8 mm, and further knitted or woven with polyester fibers or the like on the inner side. The inner hygroscopic layer 10 having a high hygroscopic property and strength is polymerized, and a three-layer structure is formed in which the entire surface of each layer is bonded to each other with an adhesive such as a hot melt adhesive or an adhesive for synthetic resin (see FIG. 2, 5, 8 etc.).
Here, an example in which both the outer buffer layer 8 and the inner buffer layer 9 are made of the same material has been shown, but for example, they may be made of synthetic resin materials having different hardnesses and types. Moreover, you may change those thickness suitably.

11... Is formed by penetrating the outer buffer layer 8, the inner buffer layer 9 and the inner moisture absorbing layer 10, that is, penetrating the inner and outer surfaces of the protector B, and having a width of about 5 mm and a length of about 2 to 4 cm. It is a vent hole.
The vent holes 11 are vertically arranged in the center of the protector, and six vertically arranged on the right and left sides thereof to form three vertical columns. In contrast, they are arranged alternately by shifting in the vertical direction (FIG. 5).
Note that the number, arrangement, and size of the air holes 11 may be changed as appropriate.

  12 and 12 are projecting pieces formed by extending the upper and lower ends of the inner moisture absorbing layer 10 outward from the upper and lower edges of the outer buffer layer 8 and the inner buffer layer 9.

  In the protector B of the present embodiment, the outer buffer layer 8, the inner buffer layer 9 and the inner moisture absorbing layer 10 have a certain flexibility, so that they can be bent freely when a force is applied. Since a plurality of the vent holes 11 are provided, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper and lower ends can be bent flexibly with a light force.

The protector B is attached to the front inner surface of the leg portion 5 of the stocking body A on the upper and lower end portions of the protector B, more specifically, only the protruding pieces 12, 12, or the protruding pieces 12, 12 and The outer surfaces of the upper and lower edge portions of the outer buffer layer 8 are bonded to each other with an adhesive such as a hot-melt adhesive so that the outer buffer layer 8 is fixed at a position facing the shin.
Usually, it is sufficient to bond and fix only the projecting pieces 12 and 12, but when it is desired to improve durability, the outer surfaces of the upper and lower edges of the outer buffer layer 8 are also bonded as shown in FIG. You just have to do it.

  Further, the fixing may be performed by adhering the upper and lower ends of the protector B to the stocking body A, or may be performed by other methods such as sewing.

When the sport stocking of the present embodiment is worn, the inner surface (inner moisture absorption layer 10) of the protector B comes into contact with the wearer's shin (FIG. 3).
Since the protector B has a circular cross section, the entire surface of the protector B is in close contact with the shape of the shin, so there is no sense of incongruity.
Further, since the inner moisture absorbing layer 10 is further polymerized on the outer buffer layer 8 and the inner buffer layer 9 which buffer, absorb or repel impacts from the outside, a three-layer structure is formed as a whole. Compared with the protector d comprising the pad part c ..., the shock can be effectively buffered and the shin can be reliably protected.

  In addition, the protector B opens the air holes 11 to improve the air permeability, and the inner surface facing the other side of the shin is composed of the inner moisture absorbing layer 10 having an excellent moisture absorbing property as described above. Since 10 absorbs sweat, it is more comfortable to wear than a conventional protector that only has a vent hole.

By the way, since the protector d is clamped between the double knitted fabrics a and b in the conventional sports stocking shown in FIG. 11, when the upper half part is turned over from the knee part to the leg part and attached or detached. The protector d pulled the stocking body, and it was not easy to attach or detach it.
Also, in the conventional sports stocking shown in FIG. 12, the pad part c is bonded or welded to the inner surface of the stocking body at least at three points of the upper end part 13, the lower end part 14 and the intermediate part 15 (FIG. 13), Alternatively, since it was bonded or welded over its entire length, when the upper half part from the knee part to the leg part is turned over and attached, the intermediate part 15 of the pad part c pulls the stocking body in the same manner as in FIG. (Fig. 13), it was not easy to attach and detach.

  On the other hand, the sport stocking of the present embodiment fixes the protector B, which is flexibly bent with a light force on the outer surface side as described above, to the inner surface of the stocking body A only at the upper and lower ends, for example, As shown in FIG. 4, the part (upper half part) from the knee part 7 to the leg part 5 can be easily turned over while the protector B is bent in an arch shape, so that the attachment / detachment is easy.

That is, when wearing sport stockings, for example, first, the toes and heels are inserted into the foot part 4 of the sport stockings with the upper half turned upside down to the state shown in FIG. 4, and then turned over. What is necessary is just to pull up toward the shin, returning the said upper half part of the above.
Further, when taking off the sports stocking, for example, the upper half portion may be turned upside down to the vicinity of the toes and the heel to obtain the state shown in FIG. 4 and further pulled in the toe direction.

  Note that the above attachment / detachment method is merely an example, and the protector B fixed to the stocking body A only at the upper and lower ends is designed to be flexibly deformed with a light force. Even when the detachment method is used, it is not an obstacle.

  There are several types of stockings for sports, such as for infants, elementary school students, junior high school students, and adults. Therefore, the user can position the protector B so as to face the shin on the other side only by wearing an appropriate size.

  In the above description, the sports stocking has been described in which the protector B that protects the front surface of the shin, that is, the other shin, is fixed to the stocking body A. Similarly, the protector having the required shape and size for protecting the knee. And can be fixed to the front inner surface of the knee portion 7 of the stocking body A that faces the kneecap. According to this, the impact on the knee can be effectively buffered, absorbed or repelled.

  Also, it is obvious that if the protector having an appropriate shape and size is fixed to the rear inner surface of the leg portion 5 that faces the inflating shin of the stocking body A, the inflating shin can be protected. It is.

A ′ is a leg-type stocking body comprising a knee portion 7 having an upper end rubber portion 6, a leg portion 5 continuous with the knee portion 7, and a band 16 attached to the lower end of the leg portion 5. (FIG. 10).
The sport stocking of the present embodiment is formed by fixing the protector B to the front inner surface of the leg portion 5 of the stocking body A ′. 4 is different from the first embodiment only in that a band 16 is provided instead of the reference numeral 4. Therefore, the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

In each of the above embodiments, the protector B has been described as having a three-layer structure of the outer buffer layer 8, the inner buffer layer 9, and the inner moisture absorbing layer 10. However, for example, an additional layer is provided outside the outer buffer layer 8. Similarly to the inner moisture absorbing layer 10, an outer moisture absorbing layer knitted or woven with polyester fibers or the like may be polymerized and bonded to form a four-layer structure (not shown).
In that case, a protruding piece is formed by extending the upper and lower ends of the outer moisture absorbing layer outward from the upper and lower edges of the outer buffer layer 8 and the inner buffer layer 9, and is fixed to the inner surface of the stocking by the protruding piece. If so, the protruding pieces 12, 12 of the inner moisture absorption layer 10 can be omitted.
Moreover, you may fix with the protrusion pieces 12 and 12 of the said inner moisture absorption layer 10 not forming a protrusion piece in an outer side moisture absorption layer.
