Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a foot cover worn in shoes and a method for manufacturing the foot cover.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a woman wears shoes such as pumps when she goes out, she usually wears stockings before wearing the shoes. This is because wearing stockings facilitates slipping when putting on and taking off shoes, and makes it easier to put on and take off shoes. In addition, since ordinary stockings and pantyhose cover not only the legs but also the thighs and buttocks, they have a heat-retaining effect that prevents the lower body from getting cold. It also has the drawback that it sticks to and sticks to the skin, causing discomfort. However, when wearing shoes without wearing stockings in the summer,
The fact is that the inside of shoes is sticky due to sweat, and slipperiness makes it difficult to put on and take off shoes and the inside of shoes becomes odorous, so it is necessary to wear stockings.
There is also a desire to walk with bare tanned legs in the summer, but wearing pumps-like shoes with short socks like ordinary cotton socks is not very nice. In particular, young women wear stockings all year round, even though they feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, as means for solving the above problems, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-167106 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-92 have been proposed.
In Japanese Patent No. 706 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-106304,
A foot cover (short stockings) having a shape that fits inside the shoe when wearing shoes such as pumps has been proposed. In other words, if you wear this foot cover, your legs will remain bare skin and will not stick or get peeled due to sweat, and you will be able to slip when putting on and taking off your shoes, so you can easily put on and take off your shoes. It becomes.

[0004]

However, the above-mentioned foot cover is one in which the conventional foot cover for indoor shoes is simply worn as a thin material in shoes such as pumps. However, it was not taken into consideration at all that it was affected by the movement of the legs such as walking when wearing it hidden in the shoes. In addition, a manufacturing method for easily and beautifully finishing the appearance at low cost has not been examined, and the reality is that the foot cover hidden in the shoes is not lost.

That is, in the foot cover which is entirely housed in and hidden in the shoe as described above, there is a portion which comes out above the shoe and covers the ankle portion and the like so as to prevent the slippage, like a normal sock. Therefore, even if the user's legs are tightly worn when standing still, if the legs move during walking, the problem is that the shoes gradually slip off from the heels and come off. And in such a situation, it becomes troublesome to take off the shoes one by one, pull up the displaced foot cover, and put on the shoes again, and in a place where the shoes cannot be taken off,
I had to endure the jarring discomfort of the misplaced foot covers in my shoes.

Further, since such a foot cover is a small one made of a relatively thin knitted fabric, it is difficult to handle, and it has been extremely difficult for an expert to efficiently and beautifully finish it.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and by wearing the stockings instead of the stockings, the discomfort of wearing the stockings due to the feeling of heat in the summer can be eliminated, and the shoes can be put on and taken off. To provide a foot cover that does not slip off and slip off in the shoe due to foot movements such as walking, and a manufacturing method that enables efficient and beautiful manufacturing of this foot cover. It is intended.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, the foot cover of the present invention has the following structure.
That is, in a foot cover that covers the entire sole of the foot and a toe portion and a heel portion that are formed in a bag shape at both longitudinal ends of the sole portion, at least in the vicinity of the opening portion of the heel portion. It is characterized in that a non-slip material is fixed inside. Further, the method for manufacturing a foot cover of the present invention is a method for manufacturing a foot cover by a sock knitting machine, in which the opening portion is knitted in by knit-in, and subsequently, the ankle portion is knitted by circular knitting, and then the heel. The part is knitted into a bag shape, circular knitting is further performed to form an original fabric, and the original fabric is turned upside down and cut from the lower part of the heel part substantially parallel to the above-mentioned opening, and the toe part is formed by sewing. After that, return to the table and heat set,
It is characterized in that it is turned back again and a non-slip material is fixed to at least the inside of the vicinity of the opening on the heel side.

[0009]

Since the foot cover of the present invention having the above-mentioned structure is composed of the sole, the toe and the heel, it can be worn in the state of being hidden in shoes such as pumps. Therefore, this foot cover allows the user to walk in a fashionable manner with bare legs exposed in the summer, wearing shoes and freeing the woman from the discomfort of wearing stockings in the heat. Also, by wearing this foot cover, stickiness in the shoes can be prevented, and the shoes can be smoothly attached and detached. Further, the anti-slip material provided inside the vicinity of the opening on the heel side has an anti-slip action between the foot cover and the heel of the foot, so that the foot cover can be prevented by the movement of the foot when walking. It is possible to prevent the problem of slipping off inside and coming off, and to obtain a good fit.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the foot cover of the present invention. As shown in the figure, this foot cover comprises a sole (1) covering the entire sole of the foot, a toe portion (2) formed in a bag shape at both longitudinal ends of the sole (1), and a heel. It is composed of a part (3), and by putting a foot through the opening part (4), it can be worn in a state where only the toes and heels are covered from the whole sole of the foot as shown in FIG. Then, a non-slip material (5) that is in contact with the heel of the foot and exerts a non-slip action is fixed inside the vicinity of the opening (4) on the side of the heel (3).

Then, in the state of being folded in half as shown in FIG. 1, the width of the opening (4) is 0.5 cm,

The depth of is slightly deeper. Therefore, when this is worn in a pump, as shown in FIG. 2, the toe part (2) is tightly covered with the tip of the toe, and the heel side is hidden in the pumps. The ideal wearing condition such as invisible is realized.

Further, the anti-slip material (5) which comes into contact with the heel of the foot and exerts an anti-slip action as described above is attached to prevent displacement of the heel portion (3) when the shoe is worn. In this embodiment, a heat-welding transfer material (flocky) using a material made by raising rayon at 0.5 m / m so that the surface has an anti-slip effect is used. This transfer material can be appropriately sized and shaped as required, and can be easily fixed to stocking cloth or the like in a short time by heat of about 100 to 150 ° C. Then, this non-slip material (5) is formed into a substantially rectangular shape with a length of about 1 cm and a width of about 4 cm, and is fixed about 1 cm below the upper end of the hole (4) on the heel part (3) side, It is possible to reliably prevent the heel portion (3) from shifting.

Next, an example of the method of manufacturing the foot cover of the present invention will be described.

1. Knitting A knitting machine for stockings (KSC-E, 272 needles, manufactured by Nagata Seiki Co., Ltd.) is used to knit an original fabric (6) as shown in FIG. 3 with a nylon yarn of 70 denier / 18 filaments. First, by knit-in knitting in which rubber threads are woven,
After knitting the 0.5 to 1.0 cm opening (4), circular knitting is performed for 15 to 25 courses to form the ankle (7).
Then, the heel portion (3) is knitted into a bag shape by using the knitting needles of about one-third of the total knitting needles, and again 70 to 1 with all the knitting needles.
The original fabric (6) shown in FIG. 3 is obtained by knitting for 00 courses. Then, at the time of knitting the original fabric (6), the front center mark line (8) and the rear center mark line (9) shown by dotted lines in the figure are provided on the toe part (2) side and the heel part (3) side. ,
A cutting / sewing mark line (10) is provided as a mark in the cutting / sewing process to be described later, and a slip prevention material (5) to be described later is further provided.
By providing a non-slip material positioning mark (11) on the hole (4) as a mark in the fixing step, the work efficiency and shape and quality of each step are made uniform.

2. Cutting / Sewing The original fabric (6) knitted as described above is turned over, and the lower part of the heel part (3) is used as a starting point for cutting / sewing. By this cutting and sewing, the sole portion (1) extending from the heel portion (3) to the toe portion (2) is formed, and the material (12) having a shape above the cutting and sewing mark line (10) in FIG. Is obtained. Then, the starting point and the end point of the sewing line obtained by cutting and sewing on the cutting / sewing mark line (10) are located at the positions indicated by S in FIG. 1 showing the finished state. The cutting and the sewing can be efficiently and easily performed by using a sewing machine capable of simultaneously performing the cutting and the sewing. Further, the cutting / sewing mark line (10) is provided substantially parallel to the opening (4) with the lower part of the heel (3) as a starting point, but in this embodiment, from the upper edge of the opening (4). The length is 8.0c at the heel part (3) side L3
m and 8.5 cm on the toe portion (2) side L4, the depth on the toe portion (2) side is set to be slightly deeper.

3. Dyeing The fabric (12) obtained through the above cutting and sewing steps is returned to the surface and dyed at about 80 ° C. At this time, if necessary, processing such as antibacterial deodorization processing can be simultaneously performed.

4. Heat setting After dyeing, the dried cloth (12) is mounted on a foot mold (13) as shown in FIG. 4 and heat set at about 100 ° C. to adjust the shape. The foot mold (13) is made by processing a metal plate into the shape of a foot as shown in the figure, and is designed to be lightweight and to prevent the foot mold (13) itself from storing too much heat. A hole (14) is formed in the unattached portion of the cloth (12).

By passing through the dyeing step and the heat setting step in this way, the length from the upper edge of the opening part (4) to the sole part (1) is shown in FIG. 3 on the heel part (3) side. Starting from L3 = 8.0 cm of the original fabric (6) shown, L1 = 5.
5 cm, L4 = 8.5 cm to L2 = 6.
2 cm, and the width of the opening (4) is 0.8 cm to 0.5 cm, the entire fabric is shrunk, and a foot cover having desired dimensions with uniform stitches can be obtained.

5. Fixing of the non-slip material The fabric (12) on which the heat setting has been completed is turned over again and attached to the foot mold (15) as shown in FIG. 5, and about the upper end of the hole (4) on the heel (3) side. A transfer material (5) having a size of about 1 cm in length and about 4 cm in width is transferred under 1 cm. The transfer material (5) is fixed on the release paper at a temperature of about 150 ° C. for about 10 seconds, with the rayon brushed surface (flocky) having a non-slip function as the surface. The foot mold (15) is made of cloth (1
It is made by processing a metal plate in such a shape that the toe part (2) and the heel part (3) of 2) can be hooked, the weight is reduced, and the foot mold (15) itself heats. The hole (16) is formed so as not to store too much, and the convex portion (17) is provided for positioning when the cloth (12) is attached. In addition, a silicon sponge (18) as a receiving material is fixed to a portion of the foot mold (15) corresponding to a mounting portion of the transfer material (5), so that the pressing force is equal to that of the transfer material (5). And the foot shape (1
Adhesion of the adhesive to 5) is prevented.

6. In this way, the dough (12) to which the non-slip material (5) is fixed is packed.
After being returned to the table again, it is sent to the packaging step and subjected to packaging to become the final product.

According to the manufacturing method as described above, knitting can be continuously performed at high speed by the knitting machine for stockings. In addition, by knitting a mark that serves as a mark in a later step at the time of knitting, the work efficiency and the product homogenization can be achieved. Also, non-slip material (transfer material)
Since the work of fixing (5) is performed with the fabric (12) attached to the dedicated foot mold (15), it is easy and efficient even for thin and small fabric (12) which is originally extremely difficult to handle. Good work can be achieved, and the finished state becomes extremely good.

The anti-slip material (5) is not limited to the ones in the above-mentioned embodiment, and if the anti-slip material (5) has a sufficient anti-slip effect, is harmless to the skin, and has a good feel to the skin, a fixing means suitable for it is used. It can be selected and used appropriately.

[0024]

As described above, since the foot cover of the present invention is composed of the sole, the toe, and the heel, it can be worn hidden in shoes such as pumps. Therefore, this foot cover allows the user to walk in a fashionable manner with bare legs exposed in the summer, wearing shoes and freeing the woman from the discomfort of wearing stockings in the heat. In addition, since the anti-slip material provided inside the vicinity of the opening on the heel side exerts an anti-slip action between the foot cover and the heel of the foot, the foot cover may cause the foot cover to move due to movement of the foot while walking. It is possible to prevent the problem of slipping off inside and coming off, and to obtain a good fit. Further, according to the foot cover manufacturing method of the present invention, it is possible to manufacture a thin and small foot cover extremely efficiently and easily, and a uniform and beautiful foot cover can be obtained without requiring skill.
