[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a sock having a good fit to a foot, and particularly to a sock which is less likely to be displaced from the foot when playing sports.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, in order to improve the fit of socks, when a sock is knitted using an inelastic yarn, a stretchable yarn is inserted into a mouth or a body. Further, the insertion amount of the elastic yarn is changed in each part so that the tightening force on the leg of the sock is constant (for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-2051 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-94603). Bulletin).

However, the tightening force in each part of the sock varies depending not only on the insertion amount of the stretchable yarn but also on the supply amount of the non-stretchable yarn. That is, the larger the amount of inelastic yarn fed, the greater the tightening force, and the smaller the amount of yarn fed, the smaller the tightening force. Therefore, if the elastic yarn is cut even if the insertion amount of the elastic yarn is changed while keeping the same amount of non-elastic yarn supplied, the sock will be changed to non-elastic yarn in the sock at the cutting point. The sagging sometimes occurred. Therefore, there is also an attempt to obtain a desired tightening force by changing both the amount of non-elastic yarn supplied and the amount of elastic yarn inserted (Japanese Patent Application No. 2-411504). This approach is preferred to obtain the desired tightening force.

Each of the above-mentioned conventional techniques is intended to adjust the tightening force of the body part of the sock (the part from the calf of the foot to the heel) by mainly adjusting the insertion amount of the elastic yarn. It is not to adjust the tightening force from the heel to the toe (from the heel of the foot to the tip of the foot). That is, conventionally, attention has been paid to the tightening force on the body of the sock, but the tightening force to the part from the heel part to the toe part has been careless. It is considered that the comfort of socks is greatly related to the tightening force in the body, and that the tightening force from the heel to the toes does not have much relation to the comfort of socks. Because it was.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, for socks worn during sports, for example, the tightening force for the area from the heel to the toes is also important. This is because it is possible to prevent slippage of the sock with respect to the foot during sports, particularly slippage of the sock with respect to the back of the foot or the instep of the sock, and to improve not only comfort but also mobility. Therefore, when knitting a part from the heel part to the toe part, it is possible to apply the above-mentioned conventional technique. However, if the elastic yarn is inserted from the heel part to the toe part, the tightening force becomes too large, which rather impairs motility.

In view of this, the present invention uses elastic yarns having elasticity similar to that of elastic yarns, and knits the elastic yarns instead of inserting them from the heel portion to the toe portion. Therefore, it is intended to obtain socks with a proper tightening force for the foot. That is, paying attention to the fact that the circumference of a human foot generally becomes gradually shorter from the heel part to the toe part, and socks are knitted using elastic and inelastic threads, and from the heel part to the toe part. By gradually decreasing both the amount of elastic yarn and the amount of non-elastic yarn supplied, an attempt is made to obtain an appropriate tightening force from the heel portion to the toe portion.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 That is, the present invention is a sock in which an elastic yarn and an inelastic yarn are knitted, and by gradually reducing the supply amount of both the elastic yarn and the inelastic yarn from the heel portion to the toe portion. The present invention relates to a sock characterized by being knitted. Further, in this sock, from the mouth portion to the heel portion, that is, in the body portion, knitting is performed by gradually reducing the yarn supply amount of both the elastic yarn and the inelastic yarn, and further inserting a stretchable yarn. And socks.

In the present invention, socks are knitted using both elastic and inelastic threads. As is well known, a sock is knitted in the order of a mouth part 1, a body part 2, a heel part 3, a foot part 4 and a toe part 5 as a tubular weft knitted fabric using a circular knitting machine. Therefore, the stitches made of the elastic yarn and the stitches made of the non-elastic yarn are double-knitted. As the elastic yarn to be used, polyurethane yarn, yarn in which polyurethane fiber is coated with nylon fiber (FTY), yarn in which polyurethane fiber is coated with cotton fiber (DCY), and the like are used. The non-elastic yarns used are cotton yarn, cotton-polyester blended yarn, cotton-acrylic blended yarn, wool yarn, wool-polyester blended yarn, wool-acrylic blended yarn, polyester yarn, acrylic yarn, nylon. Thread or the like is used. When knitting, a non-elastic yarn is generally used as a front yarn and an elastic yarn is used as a back yarn. The mouth portion 1 may be knitted only with elastic threads to form a mouth rubber portion. Further, as the knitting structure of the sock, any conventionally used structure can be used.

When the heel portion 3, the foot portion 4 and the toe portion 5 are knitted by this circular knitting machine, the supply amount of both the elastic yarn and the inelastic yarn is gradually reduced. When only the amount of elastic yarn supplied is reduced, the tightening force on the foot from the heel to the toes can be kept constant to some extent, but the following points are not sufficient. That is, the stitches formed by the non-elastic yarn are in a floating state, the appearance is poor, and when the elastic yarn is cut, slack may occur due to the non-elastic yarn. Further, even when only the amount of inelastic yarn supplied is reduced, the tightening force can be applied to the feet from the heel to the toes to some extent, but the following points are not sufficient. That is, the stitches formed by the elastic yarns are in a floating state, the elasticity of the elastic yarns cannot be sufficiently exhibited, and the tightening force is too small to provide good motility. Therefore, only when the amount of both the elastic yarn and the inelastic yarn supplied is reduced, the circumference of the sock gradually decreases from the heel portion 3 to the toe portion 5 of the sock, and the foot from the heel to the toe is gradually reduced. It is possible to maintain a constant tightening force against.

From the mouth portion 1 to the heel portion 3, that is, the body portion 2 may be knitted by a conventionally known method. In particular, in the present invention, it is preferable that the body portion 2 is also knitted with elastic yarns and inelastic yarns, and knitting is performed by gradually reducing the yarn supply amount of both. This is because the tightening force of the body 2 on the foot becomes constant. At this time, it is preferable to insert the stretchable yarn between the stitches in the wale direction. This is because the elastic force can be adjusted with respect to the calf of the foot by inserting the elastic yarn. The elastic yarn may be of the same type as the elastic yarn described above.

[0011]

[Action and effect of the device]

 As described above, the sock according to the present invention is knitted from the heel to the toe of the sock by reducing the amount of supply of both the elastic yarn and the inelastic yarn, so the sock circumference is It gradually shortens from the heel to the toe. That is, like the circumference of a human foot, it gradually decreases from the heel to the toe, and the elastic thread produces a proper tightening force, and thus fits the human foot well. Therefore, the sock according to the present invention has the effects of being comfortable to wear, having less displacement with respect to the foot during exercise, and being able to improve motility.

Furthermore, when knitting is performed by reducing the amount of both elastic and inelastic yarns fed from the mouth to the heel, the circumference of the sock gradually increases from the mouth to the heel. It gets shorter. That is, like the calf of a human, the length is gradually shortened toward the heel portion, and an appropriate tightening force is generated by the elastic thread. Further, by inserting a stretchable thread into this portion, the tightening force can be adjusted. Therefore, it fits well to the calf of a human being, and a desired tightening force can be applied to the body. Therefore, this sock has the effect of preventing the body from slipping off and providing good comfort.
