Description

The present invention relates to socks.

In general socks, in order to prevent the tubular part that covers the leg, which is the part above the wearer's heel, from slipping off, the opening is made by rubber knitting or woven knitting using rubber thread. The elasticity of the mouth) is made higher than other parts to give a tightening force. However, if the tightening force of the opening is excessively increased, itching and pain are caused by biting into the skin, so it is difficult to prevent the tubular portion from slipping off only by the tightening force of the opening.

Some people use an adhesive to bond the area around the opening to the skin to prevent the tubular part from slipping off, but the bonding process is time-consuming and the adhesive can cause skin irritation. there were. Therefore, there has been a demand for socks in which the sliding of the tubular portion is reduced by the configuration of the sock itself without excessively increasing the tightening force of the opening.

Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide socks in which the slip-off of the tubular portion covering the leg portion, which is the portion above the heel of the wearer, is reduced.

In order to solve the above problems, the socks according to the present invention
"Shoes to which the toes that cover the toes, the feet that cover the area from the toes to the ankles, the heels that cover the heels, and the tubular parts that cover the legs above the ankles are connected. And
The inner surface of the tubular portion is provided with a rubber convex portion. "

Since the sock of this configuration has a convex portion on the inner surface of the tubular portion that covers the leg portion above the ankle, the frictional force between the inner surface of the tubular portion and the skin is convex. It is possible to reduce the slip-off of the tubular portion. In addition, the convex portion is made of rubber and has elasticity, and is deformed according to the change in the surface shape of the leg portion due to the movement of the wearer, so that a frictional force acts regardless of the movement of the wearer. , The fit of the inner surface of the tubular part to the skin is maintained.

Here, as the "rubber" forming the convex portion, a rubber having a certain degree of softness in a completely cured state is desirable, and silicone-based rubber, polyurethane-based rubber, and acrylic-based rubber can be exemplified. ..

The shape of the convex portion is not particularly limited, and may be a polygonal shape such as a straight line, a wavy line, a hemisphere, or a triangle.

In addition to the above configuration, the socks according to the present invention have
"The convex portion is a convex strip extending in parallel with the axial direction of the tubular portion."

In order for the socks to be easily put on and taken off, the tubular portion is required to have high elasticity in the radial direction. In this configuration, the rubber ridges are linear ridges, and the ridges are formed so as to extend parallel to the axial direction of the tubular portion, so that the presence of the ridges is in the radial direction of the tubular portion. The risk of affecting the elasticity of the product is reduced.

In addition to the above configuration, the socks according to the present invention have
It can be said that "the convex portion is made of silicone-based rubber".

Silicone rubber is highly flexible when it is completely cured, and it easily deforms along the surface shape of the wearer's legs and has high adhesion to the skin, preventing it from slipping off. It is very suitable as a material for forming a convex portion for the purpose.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide socks in which the slip-off of the tubular portion covering the leg portion, which is the portion above the heel of the wearer, is reduced.

It is a partially cutaway perspective view of the sock which is one Embodiment of this invention. (A) is a cross-sectional view of the sock of FIG. 1 cut in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction in a tubular portion, and (b) is a cross-sectional view of socks of modified examples having different numbers of ridges cut at the same position. (A) to (d) are partially cutaway perspective views of socks of modified examples having different shapes of convex portions.

Hereinafter, the sock 1 of a specific embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As a basic configuration, the socks 1 covers the toe portion 10 that covers the toes, the foot portion 20 that covers the portion from the toes to the ankle, the heel portion 30 that covers the heel, and the foot portion above the ankle. The opening 50 is provided with a tubular portion 40, and the end portion of the tubular portion 40 is an opening.

The fibers for weaving and knitting the socks 1 composed of these parts include natural fibers such as wool, cotton, silk, and linen, acrylic fibers, polyamide fibers, polyester fibers, polypropylene fibers, and cellulose-based recycled fibers. Can be used without particular limitation. Further, different fibers may be used for each portion of the sock 1 to be woven and knitted. The opening 50 is more elastic than other parts by knitting with rubber or by woven and knitting using fibers rich in elasticity such as polyurethane elastic yarn, and is appropriately tightened to the tubular part 40. It gives power.

The sock 1 is provided with a rubber convex portion on the inner surface of the tubular portion 40. The convex portion in the present embodiment is a convex portion 41 formed so as to extend in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the tubular portion 40. In the present embodiment, a plurality of ridges 41 are formed at equal angular intervals with respect to the axial center of the tubular portion 40. In the present embodiment, the number of ridges 41 is four, and as shown in FIG. 2A, they are provided at positions corresponding to the front, rear, left, and right parts of the wearer's legs. There is.

The ridge 41 is made of silicone-based rubber. Such ridges 41 can be formed by linearly applying a silicone-based rubber having fluidity before curing to the inner surface of the tubular portion 40 by printing and curing by heating. it can.

The height of the ridges 41 can be 0.5 mm to 2 mm, and the width of the ridges 41 can be 1 mm to 3 mm. Further, the length of the ridge 41 can be set according to the length of the tubular portion 40, and can be, for example, 5 cm to 20 cm. The outer shape of the cross section of the ridge 41 in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction may be an arc or an elliptical arc so that it feels good when it comes into contact with the skin.

With the above configuration, the frictional force between the inner surface of the tubular portion 40 and the skin is increased by the ridges 41, so that the sliding of the tubular portion 40 can be reduced. Further, since the ridge 41 is made of elastic rubber and deforms along with the change in the surface shape of the leg due to the movement of the wearer, a frictional force acts regardless of the movement of the wearer and the frictional force acts on the skin. The fit of the inner surface of the tubular portion 40 is maintained.

In addition, in the present embodiment, silicone-based rubber is used as the rubber constituting the ridge 41. Silicone rubber is highly flexible when it is completely cured, so it easily deforms along the surface shape of the wearer's legs and has high adhesion to the skin, preventing it from slipping off. The action of rubber is effectively exerted.

Further, since a plurality of ridges 41 are formed at equal angular intervals with respect to the rotation center of the tubular portion 40, the ridges 41 have an action of preventing slipping down in response to various movements of the wearer's legs. It can be effectively demonstrated.

In particular, one of the plurality of ridges 41 is located at a position corresponding to the front portion of the wearer's leg. This position is the position where the force acting on the tubular portion 40 so as to slide down when the wearer bends the ankle exerts the greatest force. Therefore, the effect of preventing the tubular portion 40 from slipping off by the ridge 41 is more effectively exerted.

Further, in the present embodiment, the ridge 41 is formed so as to extend parallel to the axial direction of the tubular portion 40. When the sock 1 is put on and taken off, the tubular portion 40 needs to be expanded in the radial direction. Although rubber has some elasticity, it is not as elastic as the tubular portion 40 knitted with fibers. Therefore, if the rubber ridges 41 are formed so as to extend in the radial direction in the tubular portion 40, the presence of the ridges 41 may reduce the elasticity of the tubular portion 40 in the radial direction. .. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the ridges 41 are formed so as to extend parallel to the axial direction of the tubular portion 40, the ridges 41 hinder the expansion and contraction of the tubular portion 40 in the radial direction. There is no such thing.

As described above, the sock 1 of the present embodiment is suitable as a sports sock in which the wearer moves violently or a sock having a long tubular portion 40 because the sliding of the tubular portion 40 is effectively suppressed. ..

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to suitable embodiments, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and as shown below, various improvements and various improvements are made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. The design can be changed.

For example, in the above, the case where the number of ridges 41 is four is illustrated, but the number of ridges 41 is not particularly limited. For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, the sock 1b may have five ridges 41 provided at equal intervals with respect to the axial center of the tubular portion 40. In this case, as shown in the figure, one of the ridges 41 may be located at a position corresponding to the front portion of the wearer's leg.

Further, the shape of the convex portion is not limited to the linear convex stripes exemplified above. For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the sock 2 has a corrugated convex portion 42. When the convex portion is a waveform, as shown in the figure, if the continuous direction of the waveform is parallel to the axial direction of the tubular portion 40, the elasticity of the tubular portion 40 in the radial direction is not reduced. , The frictional force between the convex portion 42 and the skin can be increased.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3B, the sock 3 has a triangular convex portion 43. When the convex portion has a triangular shape, it is desirable to arrange the convex portion so that the bottom side of the triangle faces upward as shown in the figure, because it effectively acts as a resistance against the downward sliding of the tubular portion 40.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3C, the sock 4 having the hemispherical convex portion 44 can be used. When the convex portion is hemispherical, as shown in the figure, if a plurality of convex portions 44 are arranged in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the tubular portion 40, the convex portion has a tubular shape as in the case of the linear convex portion 41. The frictional force between the convex portion 42 and the skin can be increased without reducing the elasticity of the portion 40 in the radial direction.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3D, the sock 5 may have small granular convex portions 45 dispersed as a whole on the inner surface of the tubular portion 40.

It should be noted that one sock may be configured to have a plurality of types of convex portions having different shapes.

Further, in the above, the case where the toe portion 10 is one bag-shaped portion that covers the five toes together is shown as an example, but the illustration is not limited to this, and the five toes are individually covered. A sock having a toe part consisting of five bag-shaped parts covering the toes, a bag-shaped part covering the first finger, and a bag-shaped part covering the other four fingers. It can also be.

In addition, a support type sock in which a tightening strengthening part is formed in a band shape on a part of the foot, which is more elastic than the other parts and is given a tightening force by reducing the number of stitches. The device can be applied.

In addition, in the above, the case where the rubber ridge 41 is formed only on the tubular portion 40 has been illustrated, but the ridge can be formed on other portions in addition to the tubular portion. .. For example, by forming a ridge on the portion of the foot that comes into contact with the instep of the wearer, it is possible to effectively prevent the tubular portion from slipping off due to the displacement of the foot.
