Utility Model Registration No. 3076702

However, such conventional socks have the following problems.
That is, the massaging action by each convex part is stronger as the height dimension of each convex part is larger, but in conventional socks, each convex part is knitted by tack knitting, so the height dimension of each convex part In order to increase the length, each yarn related to more courses must be knitted into one stitch. However, since there is a limit to the number of threads that can be engaged with the hook part of one needle, the height dimension of each convex part cannot be further increased, and socks with a stronger massage action are provided. I couldn't.

  Furthermore, in conventional socks, in order to exert a stronger massage action, the thread of one course is engaged with as many courses as possible to increase the height of each convex part. Even if it is made, since each convex part is knitted using low stretch yarn such as cotton thread or nylon thread, the height dimension of each convex part by repeated use such as wearing and washing the socks However, the so-called sagging gradually decreased, and the massage action was reduced.

  This invention is made | formed in view of such a situation, Comprising: There exists a stronger massage action and provides the sock which can maintain the said massage action by repeated use.

(1) The sock according to the present invention is a sock in which one or a plurality of linear convex portions are provided in an appropriate region, and the region is a knitted fabric obtained by knitting a plurality of courses of ground yarn. Provided with a knitted structure in which elastic yarns having elasticity are knitted in a plurality of courses by insertion knitting, and the convex portion floats ground yarns related to a plurality of courses and elastic yarns related to at least one course at appropriate portions of the knitted structure. It is formed by performing a floating knitting.
The area | region mentioned above can be set to appropriate parts, such as the sole part of a sock, an instep part, and / or a body part.

  On the other hand, the linear convex portion can be formed into various linear shapes such as a wave shape, a linear shape, and / or a V shape, and can be continuously or discontinuously as necessary. Moreover, a convex part can be formed in the front side and / or back side of a knitting structure.

  In the sock of the present invention, since the convex portion is formed by a floating knitting, even if the ground yarn and elastic yarn related to more courses are bundled to increase the height dimension of the convex portion, Without being limited to the number of yarns that can be engaged with the hook portion of the needle of the needle, it can be carried out easily and reliably, and by bundling ground yarns and elastic yarns relating to more courses, the convex portion The height dimension of this can be made higher, and a stronger massage action can be achieved.

  Moreover, since the elastic thread which concerns on at least 1 course is knitted in this convex part, the said convex part has a stretching property, and, thereby, the shape of a convex part is maintained. In addition, even if the convex part is returned to its original shape even if it is deformed by external pressure, the height of the convex part is made higher, and even if it is used repeatedly, the massage action by the convex part is maintained. be able to.

  Furthermore, since the knitted structure around the convex portion also has an elastic force due to the elastic yarn, it is possible to give the convex portion a force that resists the force to be deformed by the external pressure, and to further increase the height dimension of the convex portion. Even if it is made high and used repeatedly, the shape of the convex portion, that is, the massage action is maintained.

(2) The sock according to the present invention is characterized in that the knitted fabric is knitted by a rubber knitting as required.
In the sock of the present invention, since the knitted fabric in the above-described region is knitted by rubber knitting, the knitted fabric further has a stretching force. Therefore, a stronger massage action can be further maintained.
