Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide ankle socks usually referred to as foot covers, etc., by forming the socks so that the almost whole parts of the socks are hidden in shoes, and disposing slip-preventing members on the inner sides on the heel sides of the socks to prevent the separation of the socks from shoes, even when the shoes are worn and subsequently walked, and even when the worn shoes are taken off from the feet. SOLUTION: A slip-preventing member 5 such as a sponge member is disposed on the inner surface on the heel side of each of elastic socks 1 knitted with knitting yarns so that the almost whole parts of each of the socks are hidden in each of shoes. The slip-preventing member 5 is thereby pressed and tightly adhered to the skin of the foot of a woman by the force of each of the socks 1 themselves and the shrinking force of a tip rubber ring 3.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sock formed so as to be hidden in a shoe.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, socks of this kind have been used, for example, in actual Kaihei 3
-106304 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-72906. As is clear from these publications,
This kind of sock does not have legs like ordinary socks, so with this sock on and shoes on it,
The sock is formed so that it is almost entirely hidden in the shoe.

This type of sock, which is commonly referred to as "foot cover" or "pumps-in type socks", is mainly used by women for the purpose of preventing discomfort and tiredness and coldness when the shoes are directly put on bare feet. ing. In addition, it is common to wear pantyhose on top of this type of sock.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional socks, when wearing socks and pantyhose, the coefficient of friction between the socks and the pantyhose is generally higher. Greater than the coefficient of friction between the skin and socks. Therefore, when you walk with your shoes on, if the parts of the pantyhose that are the soles of the feet move slightly in the anteroposterior direction due to the movement of your feet in the shoes, the socks pulled by this pantyhose gradually move to the toe side. However, there was a problem of getting off from the heel side.

When wearing socks and shoes,
When the shoes are taken off, the heel side of the socks is pulled downward by the inner surface of the shoes, which causes a problem that the socks come off.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and is a sock which is formed so as to be substantially hidden in a shoe, and is worn when the shoe is worn or when the shoe is worn. The purpose of the present invention is to provide socks that do not come off even when taking off shoes.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a sock which is formed so as to be hidden in the shoe, and is provided with an anti-slip member on the inner surface of the heel side. It is a thing.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A sock according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a sock according to the present invention. This sock 1 is made entirely of cotton,
A knitting yarn made of silk, polyurethane or the like is used for knitting so as to have great elasticity.

As can be seen from the figure, the sock 1 does not have a portion called "leg" which is provided with ordinary socks such as socks, and has a large sock 2 at the portion corresponding to the instep.
Are formed.

The mouthpiece 2 is provided with a rubber band 3.
The mouth rubber 3 is sewn by a warp stitch using a thread (not shown) in a state where a thin transparent polyurethane tape (elastic string) is arranged along the opening edge of the shoe opening 2.

On the inner surface of the sock 1 on the heel 4 side, a non-slip sponge 5 (an example of a non-slip member) is provided. The sponge 5 is formed by cutting a sponge sheet having a thickness of about 5 mm into an inverted trapezoidal shape having an upper side of about 80 mm, a lower side of about 60 mm, and a height of about 20 mm (see FIG. 2). It is sewn with a thread (not shown) along the opening edge of No. 2. The material of the sponge 5 is not limited, but, for example, soft urethane foam (urethane foam) is preferably used.

Next, the usage state of the sock 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a schematic side cross-sectional view showing a state in which the sock 1 is put on the foot A, the pantyhose B is put on the sock 1, and the pump C (an example of shoes) is further put on the sock 1, and the chain line in FIG. The foot A and the pantyhose B are shown by the chain double-dashed line.

As shown in the drawings, when the sock 1 according to the present invention is put on, the sponge 5 is placed on the part a of the heel of the foot A, which protrudes rearward in a round shape, and the main body of the sock 1 and the rubber band are provided. Due to the force of 3 to shrink, it is pressed against the skin of this portion a and brought into close contact therewith.

At this time, generally, the coefficient of friction between the sponge 5 and the skin is better than the sock 1 and the pantyhose B.
Since the friction coefficient between the foot and the foot is larger than the friction coefficient between the foot and the foot, even when the foot of the pantyhose B, which is the sole of the foot, slightly shifts in the front-rear direction as the foot A moves in the pump C when walking. The sponge 5 does not move. Therefore, since the heel 4 side of the sock 1 is held at a predetermined position, the sock 1 is prevented from gradually moving to the toe side and coming off from the heel 4 side.

Although not shown, when the sock 1 is put on the foot A and the pump C is directly put on the sock 1,
Even if the heel 4 side of the sock 1 is pulled downward when the pump C is taken off, the sock 1 is not removed because the heel 4 side is held at a predetermined position by the sponge 5.

Since the sponge 5 is soft, it does not give a foreign body sensation when worn, and also has the effect of preventing shoe rub due to its cushioning property.

FIG. 4 shows another sock 11 according to the invention. This sock 11 has the same structure as the sock 1 described above except that five finger portions 6 are formed on the toe side. Such five-finger type socks and so-called mittens type socks where the toe side is divided into two, the thumb and other fingers,
It goes without saying that the present invention can be applied.

The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above example, but the shape and size of the sponge 5 are arbitrary. It is also conceivable to attach the sponge 5 to the inner surface of the heel 4 side with an adhesive without sewing.

Further, the non-slip member may be other than the sponge 5, for example, a projection formed by curing liquid rubber or foamed vinyl chloride, as is found in commercially available non-slip work gloves. It is also conceivable that an appropriate number of (not shown) are provided on the inner surface of the heel 4 side. In this case, liquid rubber or foamed vinyl chloride may be directly attached and cured on the inner surface of the heel 4 side, or liquid rubber or foamed vinyl chloride may be attached and cured on the surface of another fabric,
You may sew or stick this cloth on the inner surface of the heel 4 side.

[0020]

As described above, according to the sock according to the present invention, the slip preventing member is brought into a state in which it does not move in close contact with the skin of the heel when worn, whereby the heel side of the sock is in a predetermined position. It will be retained, so when you walk with shoes on,
The socks are prevented from coming off when taking off the worn shoes.
