DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to stockings worn by chills patients for therapeutic purposes. In the present invention, the term “stockings” refers to all clothing worn on the legs, and includes socks, high socks, over knees, pantyhose, tights, and the like.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Hypothermia is a condition in which other parts of the body do not feel cold, but only parts of the body, especially the legs, and in some cases, only the hands and lower back, feel cold. It is often caused by various symptoms such as abnormal internal organ function and poor physical condition. Conventionally, for this cold,
From the viewpoint of keeping warmth in mind, treatments such as layering of stockings, foot hot water, floor heating, local hot compresses, and thermotherapy have been adopted.

[0003]

However, of the conventional treatment methods, two or three times of stockings are worn,
Or the method of using thick stockings,
There is little therapeutic effect, and even worse, symptoms may even worsen. The cause has not been elucidated at all, but as a result of various studies, the present inventors have found that the cause is that the whole leg is kept warm.

[0004] That is, since the coldness is caused by the failure of the autonomous thermoregulatory mechanism of the human body to function properly, even if an attempt is made to improve this by external warming or heating, it will not be a fundamental treatment. It only weakens the intrinsic function of the autonomic nervous system and worsens the symptoms.

[0005] The body's thermoregulatory action is based on the fact that a sensory nerve sends a signal obtained by a thermal sensory organ existing on the skin surface, for example, a cold sense or a warm sense, to the brain. It is designed to control body temperature by issuing heat radiation and heat generation commands. For example, in response to signals from cold sensation, the sympathetic nerve issues heat dissipation control commands such as contraction of capillaries, piloerection, and suppression of sweating, and heat production commands such as secretion of adrenaline and thyroxine and muscle tremors. To control body temperature rise. However, for example, if the temperature of the toes is artificially kept high despite the low outside temperature, the cold sensation sends inaccurate information to the brain. Is the result.

The present invention is based on the elucidation of the mechanism of the onset of cold sensation and provides a stocking that can effectively treat cold sickness by keeping the legs warm while obtaining the necessary cold sensation stimulus. Things.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, there is provided a cold-stocking stocking comprising a sensing area 1 which easily stimulates the sense of cold of the skin and a heat insulating area 2 having a high heat insulating property. The toe A, the sole C and the heel D are used as the sensing area 1, and the instep B, the body E and the rubber band F are used as the heat retaining area 2, and the sensing area 1 is 100 denier or less. The basic configuration of the present invention is that the flat knitting is performed using the fine-count yarn, and the heat retaining region 2 is the pile knit using the thick-count yarn having a denier of 100 denier or more.

Further, the sensing area is preferably made of a thin fabric having good air permeability or a structure having excellent moisture absorption.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a cold-stocking stocking provided with a sensing area 1 for easily stimulating the cold sensation of the skin and a heat insulating area 2 having a high heat insulating property. Bottom part C and heel part D in sensing area 1,
The instep portion B, the body portion E, and the rubber mouth portion F are made to be a heat insulating region 2, the sensing region 1 is made of a flat knit using a fine yarn of 100 denier or less, and the heat insulating region 2 is made of 100 denier. The basic configuration of the present invention is to form a double flat knit using the following fine yarn. According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the second aspect of the present invention, a 100-denier yarn is used by blending polyamide fiber, acrylic fiber, and wool.

When the sense of cold is stimulated, a signal that the leg is cold is sent to the brain via the sensory nerve. Then, the brain issues an instruction to suppress heat dissipation and heat production toward the legs, and the legs try to control body temperature by suppressing sweating and trembling muscles. The command signal from the brain is issued to all parts of the leg even when the stimulus signal from the cold sense is only from a part of the leg such as a toe, and a body temperature regulating action is generated in the entire leg.

Further, in the stocking of the present invention, since the body and the like are in a heat retaining area and the body heat is not released to the outside, the body temperature regulation action by the command from the brain is effective, and the legs are moderately effective. It is kept at a high temperature. Therefore, the blood circulating in the legs returns to the internal organs without being cooled,
The burden on the internal organs is reduced, and the illness associated with coldness, visceral diseases, and the like are treated. In the present invention, the formation area of the sensing area is sufficient only to output a body temperature control command signal from the brain, and it is sufficient if the sensing area is provided in a part of the stocking such as a toe, so that the leg is kept warm. Does not hurt.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. The embodiment is an example used for high socks. In the drawings, the toe A, the instep B, the sole C, the heel D, the body E, and the rubber band F are used as the names of each part of the stocking divided by broken lines in the drawings. Further, in this specification, a portion below the ankle of the body is referred to as a foot, and the entire leg, the lower leg and the thigh are referred to as a leg.

The stocking of the present invention does not have the same composition on the entire surface, but has a sensing region 1 partially different in composition. Since the sensing area 1 is for facilitating the stimulation of the cold sense of the skin, the heat retaining property is suppressed as much as possible so that the skin is well exposed to the outside temperature. For example, the fabric thickness in this region is reduced, and in the case of knitting, the fabric is thin. Specifically, 10
A fine yarn of 0 denier or less, preferably 70 denier or less is used, and usually a flat knitted fabric with good air permeability is used. In addition, the heat dissipation of the dough may be increased so that the skin easily feels cold. In this case, a yarn having high hygroscopicity, for example, a cotton yarn or a synthetic fiber made of a synthetic fiber is used.

The sensing area 1 only needs to have an area sufficient for the cold sensation of the skin to receive a required amount of cold stimulus, and it is preferable that the area be as small as possible from the viewpoint of heat retention. Also, the position of the region is preferably selected as a region where there is much cold sensation on the skin surface. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, only the toe A is the sensing area 1.
I have to. The toes have a high distribution rate of cold sensation in the skin,
Since the surface area is large, it is suitable for forming the sensing area 1.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the sensing area 1 includes the toe A, the sole C, the heel D, and the front half of the instep B.
It was made. As can be seen from the fact that there are many acupoints in the acupressure treatment on the sole of the foot, it is an important part for nerve stimulation, and it is preferable to form a sensing area here.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a heat retaining area, and at least the body part E is a heat retaining area. In particular, since blood vessels are located near the skin surface near the ankles and ankles, keeping the area warm is important for the treatment of coldness. The heat retaining area 1 is made of a dough composition having a heat retaining property as much as possible. Specifically, there are the following means. Use a yarn with a denier of 100 denier or more, preferably 130 denier or more. Use specially processed yarns with high heat retention, such as far-infrared radiation yarns, multifilament yarns, and hollow yarns. The knitting method is a thick knitting such as pile knitting or rib knitting. Paste a heat-insulating thin film such as urethane foam or far-infrared radiation particulate material on the inner surface,
There are methods such as coating polyurethane.

As a method of providing the sensing area 1 and the heat retaining area 2 in the same stocking, in addition to a method of switching yarns or changing a knitting method at the time of knitting work, after knitting each area separately, Can be freely adopted such as a method of joining by means of suturing or the like.

It is indispensable for the stocking of the present invention to provide the sensing area 1 and the heat retaining area 2 described above.
In addition, it does not prevent the provision of a region for another purpose. For example, it is possible to freely adopt a configuration in which the sole portion C and the heel portion D have a dough composition with cushioning properties.

Example 1 Shape: As shown in FIG. 1, only the toe A was used as a sensing area, and the other was used as a heat retaining area. Composition: Polyamide fiber, acrylic fiber, and wool are used as the yarn, and a yarn having a thickness of 100 deniers is used. The sensing area is simply plain knitting, and the heat retaining area is double plain knitting.

Embodiment 2: Shape: As shown in FIG. 2, the toe A, the front half of the instep B,
The sole C and the heel D were used as the sensing area, and the others were used as the heat retaining area. Composition: The sensing area was a plain knit using 70 denier polyamide / polyurethane blended yarn, and the heat retaining area was a pile knit using 150 denier polyamide / polyurethane / wool blended yarn.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but can be freely modified and implemented within the scope of the claims. In particular, the method of forming the sensing region 1 and the heat retaining region 2 is free. For summer items,
It is not necessary to provide the heat retaining area 2 with exceptional heat retaining properties, and it is only necessary to provide the sensing area 1 with hygroscopicity.

[0022]

The stocking of the present invention has a sensing area where a sufficient cold sensation can be stimulated, so that the body temperature regulating action of the leg can be induced and the body temperature of the leg can be maintained by the warming area. Therefore, the leg can always be put in a moderately high temperature state, and the leg can be effectively cooled and the associated visceral diseases can be effectively cured. Further, since the stocking of the present invention has a simple structure, it can be manufactured at the same cost as a normal stocking, and does not impair comfort and appearance.

According to the second aspect, since the sensing region can be easily formed, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and it is practical.

According to the third aspect, by the evaporation of sweat,
This method is particularly suitable for summer because it gives a cool feeling.
