Description

  The present invention relates to a sock, and more particularly to a five-finger sock that allows five toes to be individually inserted into the toe portion.

  Conventionally, a five-finger socks that can insert five toes into the toe portion are generally known. As this type of five-finger socks, Patent Document 1 discloses a five-finger socks obtained by separately knitting a toe part and a main body part excluding the toe part and sewing them together. Here, it is described that the toe portion is knitted by flat knitting using a flat knitting machine, and the main body portion is knitted into a cylindrical shape using a circular knitting machine.

  That is, the knitted fabric of the five-finger socks is usually a weft knitted fabric (horizontal knitting, circular knitting), and the stitch structure is knitted with a plain knitting as a basic structure. In flat knitting, yarn is supplied perpendicularly to a knitting needle, and stitches to be formed are joined in the vertical direction to form a knitted fabric. The stitch in the yarn feeding direction is called a course, and the vertical stitch in which the knitting needles are planted is said to be a wale, and is composed of a chain of loops. Will be formed.

  In addition, since the back stitch structure of flat knitting has a smaller amount of yarn and is coarser than the face structure, the feel to the toes is poor. Moreover, since the back thread of the back tissue formed by squeezing the curved part of the bag-like part into which the toes are inserted is on the inner surface side of the bag-like part, the fit feeling of the bag-like part to the toes is generally poor, and the thread Combined with a small amount of back tissue, the toe feels worse.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a five-finger sock that allows easy insertion of toes, a good feel on the toes, and that has a fit and does not loosen.

  The five-finger socks according to the present invention are five-finger socks having a flat knitted stitch structure, and when knitting, the back yarn that is pulled so as to narrow the front face on the curved surface of the fingertip is attached to the front side together with the back face after knitting. It is made to appear in. It is preferable that the number of back yarns pulled so as to narrow the front is two or more.

  In the five-finger socks according to the present invention, since the flat knitted surface tissue appears in the form of vertical stripes on the inner surface of the toe portion into which the toes including the toes are inserted, it becomes easy to insert the toes. . Further, since the surface texture on the inner surface side of the toe portion has a larger amount of yarn and is denser than the back surface texture, the feel to the toes including the toes is improved.

  Moreover, since the back yarn of the back tissue formed by narrowing the curved portion of the bag-like portion into which the toes are inserted is turned over to the outer surface side of the toe portion together with the back tissue, the amount of yarn on the inner surface of the bag-like portion is large. The surface texture fits well with the toes, and the touch to the toes is further improved. Further, since the flat knitted back tissue appears side by side on the outer surface side of the toe portion, the toe portion is difficult to slip in the shoe when the five-finger socks are worn and the shoes are worn.

  According to the five-finger socks according to the present invention, since the flat knitted surface tissue appears in the form of vertical stripes on the inner surface side of the toe portion into which the toes including the toes are inserted, insertion of the toes is possible. It becomes easy to do. In addition, since the surface texture on the inner surface side of the toe portion is denser and denser than the back texture, the feel to the toes including the toes is improved.

  Moreover, since the back yarn of the back tissue formed by narrowing the curved portion of the bag-like portion into which the toes are inserted is turned over to the outer surface side of the toe portion together with the back tissue, the amount of yarn on the inner surface of the bag-like portion is large. The surface texture fits well with the toes, and the touch to the toes is further improved.

  And, since the flat knitted back stitch structure appears side by side on the outer surface side of the toe portion, the toe portion becomes difficult to slip in the shoe when wearing this five-finger socks and wearing shoes, Since the slippage of the toe portion is reduced, good comfort can be obtained.

  Furthermore, according to the five-finger socks according to the present invention, the elastic yarn in the cuff part appears on the outer surface side after knitting, so that the adhesion to the ankle is increased even when knitted with the same tension as in the past.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a five-finger socks according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings to be referred to, FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a five-finger socks according to an embodiment, and FIG. 2 is an exploded rear view of the five-finger socks shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a five-finger sock according to an embodiment includes a toe part 1 knitted with five bag-like parts 1 </ b> A to 1 </ b> E into which five toes are individually inserted, and a toe part 1. The main body portion 2 includes a cuff portion 2A and a heel portion 2B which are knitted into a continuous substantially cylindrical shape.

  First, the toe portion 1 is knitted from the little finger 1E side, then knitted toward the thumb 1A, and then knitted in the order of the heel part 2B and the cuff part 2A. Here, the stitch structure of plain knitting will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, and the knitting of the bag-like portions 1A to 1E of the toe portion 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The surface texture W shown in FIG. 3 is arranged in a vertical streak shape as indicated by a thick line along the wale direction perpendicular to the course direction, which is the yarn feeding direction. Further, the back tissue C shown in FIG. 4 is arranged in a horizontal streak shape as indicated by a thick line along the course direction. Here, when comparing the surface texture W represented by the thick line in FIG. 3 and the back texture C represented by the thick line in FIG. 4, the surface texture W has a larger yarn amount than the back texture C and is dense. It turns out that it is. In this way, the stitches are perpendicular to each other on the outer surface side and the back surface side, and the front stitches are in a state of being continuous in the vertical direction toward the fingertips, whereas the back stitches are in the lateral direction toward the fingertips. It is in a continuous state.

  On the other hand, FIG. 5 is a development view in the wale direction in which a curved portion at the tip of any bag-like portion of the bag-like portions 1A to 1E is developed in the wale direction, and FIG. 6 is a curved portion at the tip of the bag-like portion. It is a course direction expansion | deployment figure which expand | deploys and shows in a course direction. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the curved portion at the tip of the bag-like portion sequentially reduces the number of stitches on the tip side, back yarn W <b> 1 (see FIG. 5) extending in the wale direction, and back yarn extending in the course direction. It is formed by narrowing down C1 (see FIG. 6).

  That is, first, when the yarn of the first course is supplied, a crest is formed in a zigzag by the knitting needles alternately fed from the front and rear (see the center of the figure). In the example shown in the figure, there are 13 knitting needles on the front side and 13 knitting needles on the back side. Next, when the second course yarn is supplied, a loop of 13 knitting needles on the front side and 12 knitting needles on the rear side is formed as in the first course. In the third course, a loop with five knitting needles on the front side and seven knitting needles on the rear side is formed. Here, the knitting needles are reduced at a stroke in order to sharpen the tip of the finger.

  Next, on the 4th course, a loop with 7 knitting needles on the front side and 9 knitting needles on the back side is formed. On the 5th course, a loop with 9 knitting needles on the front side and 11 knitting needles on the back side is formed. In the 6th course, a loop with 11 knitting needles on the front side and 11 knitting needles on the back side is formed. On the 7th course, a loop with 11 knitting needles on the front side and 13 knitting needles on the back side is formed. Then, a loop is formed by the same number of knitting needles as the eighth course to the first course.

  At this time, the thread W1 of the connecting portion indicated by the straight dotted line on both sides of the central portion in FIG. 5 and the back yarn C1 of the connecting portion indicated by the straight line in the central portion of FIG. A thread that is pulled so as to narrow the front surface for rounding, and forms a back thread. On the other hand, as described above, many yarns appear on the front and fewer on the back, so that the yarn amount of the front is larger as a whole. And since the back yarn C1 is pulled on the lower side of the front face, the curved surface of the fingertip does not have the same curve as the back face on the front face side.

  Therefore, in the present invention, after the knitting, the back yarn C1 appears so as to appear on the outer surface so that the back yarn C1 pulled so as to narrow the face W in order to apply a curved surface to the fingertip appears. Thus, by expressing the back thread C1 on the outer surface side, the back thread C1 wraps the thread forming the front loop, and as shown in FIG. The curved surface is the same as the designed finger shape on the outside of the fingertip. Therefore, when the toes are inserted, the toes fit snugly.

  After the five-finger socks according to the present invention are knitted in a flat knitting, the back eye C appears on the outer surface, so that the front W in contact with the toes is in a continuous state toward the fingertips, It will be in the insertion direction and will be easy to insert, and it feels smooth and soft.

  Conventionally, the elastic yarn in the cuff portion 2A is shrunk on the lower side of the face W. On the other hand, if the elastic yarn is placed on the outer surface side, it is pressed from the upper side of the face W as opposed to knitting. Since it is shrunk in a state where it is laid, even when knitted with the same tension, the adhesion to the ankle is increased. Therefore, coupled with the fact that the back thread C1 is pulled so as to narrow the surface texture W at the fingertip and is rounded, the overall fit is improved by the close contact force at the cuff portion 2A.
