Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a pair of socks, each having an unexposed inlet of a bag section, allowing an object, e.g. a protector, to be securely inserted and held without damaging supporting force of the socks, and advantageous in terms of manufacturing cost. SOLUTION: This pair of socks has a leg section 3, outer opening section 4 composed of a double-layered knit fabric knitted into a double well monolithically with the leg section 3, and inner opening section 5 which is continuous with the end of the inner layer of the outer opening section 4 via a space 52, wherein a bag section 6 is formed by knitting only a wale corresponding roughly to a half round of the cylindrical knit fabric in two opposite directions into the space 52 so as to hold a protector of the like. It is knitted from the toe section 21, with knitting needles kept idle at intervals of one or several needles, increasing one or several working needles for every or several courses for knitting a section from the ankle section 24 to leg section 3 and using all of the needles for knitting a section of almost upper half of the leg section and the opening section 4, so as to gradually increase diameter of the leg section and the above as the needles move upward.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a sock having an insertion portion for an article such as a protector.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a sock is provided with an insertion portion for an article such as a protector or a disposable body warmer, a knitted fabric piece having the same shape as the insertion portion, that is, a pocket, is sewn to a leg portion of the sock or the like. It is known to sew a tubular knitted fabric on the inner layer side of a leg as described in JP-A-99706. However, each of these requires the preparation of a knitted fabric such as a pocket separately from the sock body, and the sewing is sewn to the sock body. There is also concern that they will be disconnected.

On the other hand, JP-A-52-52740, JP-A-59-30902, and JP-A-59-37307.
In the publications, etc., the same number of stitches or circular stitches are formed on the legs of the socks by circular knitting machines, or in the same manner as when knitting the heel pockets, to form pockets integrally knitted with the sock body by knitting forward and reverse. It is described.

[0004] However, in these socks, the insertion opening of the pocket is exposed on the outer surface, so that not only the appearance of the sock is different from that of a normal sock, but also the insertion opening partially covers the tubular knitted fabric of the sock itself. There is a problem that the support power and the feeling of wearing of the socks themselves are impaired because they are provided so as to penetrate them. In particular, when the insertion port is provided immediately below the perforated rubber portion, the knitted fabric on the perforated rubber portion side and the knitted fabric below the insertion port are separated by the insertion port, and the support force of the perforated rubber portion is reduced. There was a problem that could be said to be fatal for sports socks, because it was not reflected on the entire leg.

[0005] Further, the human leg, particularly the calf, is thicker than the foot and the like, and has conventionally been provided solely by adjusting the knitted fabric, elasticity of elastic yarn, or adjustment of yarn tension. Moreover, when the protector is inserted into the leg, the difference in diameter becomes considerable,
As the knitted fabric is expanded, there is no doubt that the cushioning property of the knitted fabric in the thickness direction is reduced, and improvement in the protection of the legs against external impact has been desired.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional socks, the present invention does not expose the entrance of the bag portion to the outside and does not impair the support capability of the sock itself. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sock that can insert and hold the above-mentioned article without fail and that is advantageous in terms of manufacturing cost.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems An outer layer side perforated portion composed of double inner and outer knitted fabrics knitted integrally with a leg and a double welt, and an inner layer continuous with the inner knitted fabric end of the outer layer side perforated portion A bag portion is formed by forward and reverse knitting only a wale corresponding to substantially a half circumference of the tubular knitted fabric in a continuous portion thereof having a side perforated portion, and a protector or the like can be inserted.
It is preferable that the bag portion is formed by folding a continuous band-shaped knitted fabric portion between the outer layer side perforated portion and the inner layer side perforated portion into two and binding the side edges overlapping each other. In addition, it is preferable that at least the surface of the bag portion that comes into contact with the wearer's skin when wearing socks is pile knitted. In addition, knitting is started from the side of the dissecting part with the knitting needles in the inoperative position every other one or several, and in the knitting from the ankle to the leg, one or several knits are formed every one or several courses. It is preferable to increase the number of knitting needles one by one and knit with all the knitting needles from the substantially upper half of the leg to the perforated portion, thereby gradually increasing the diameter of the portion above the leg. At this time, knitting is started from the side of the dissecting part in a state where the knitting needles are set at the inoperative position at every other or several knitting needles. Is increased by one or several at every several wales, then the remaining knitting needles are increased by one or several at every knitting of several courses, and after performing these operations once or several times, By knitting with all knitting needles from the substantially upper half of the portion to the perforated portion, the diameter of the portion above the leg may be gradually and gradually increased.

[0008]

1 and 2 show a sock 1 according to a representative embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, a sock 1 includes a foot portion 2 including a discalc portion 21 and a heel portion 22, a leg portion 3, an outer layer side perforated portion 4, an inner layer side perforated portion 5, and an outer layer side perforated portion 4 and an inner side perforated portion. Bag portion 6 formed in a continuous portion (52) with portion 5
And a first portion of the leg 3 near the ankle 24.
And second enlarged diameter portions 31 and 32. Hereinafter, the knitting of the socks 1 will be described with reference to the drawings.

For knitting the socks 1, a sock circular knitting machine is used.
The knitting needles are set in the non-operational position every other needle, and knitting is started from the dissecting section 21 using a half of the total number of needles. That is, after knitting a disposable knitting portion (not shown) connected to the dissecting opening portion 20, the foot portion 2 is knitted in the order of the dissecting portion 21, the ring toe 25, the non-tread portion 23, the heel portion 22, and the ankle portion 24. Then, the knitting of the leg 3 is started. At this time, a rubber thread is inserted into the untouched soil portion 23 and the ankle portion 24, and a rubber support is formed by 1 × 3 rubber knitting.

In the knitting of the leg 3, the lower end 30 of the leg is knitted to the point indicated by 31a in FIG. 1 with the same number of knitting needles as the total number of stitches, and then the knitting needles are moved from the point 31a to 31b. The knitting needles of the shin side wale are increased one by one at every other wale for every knitting of two courses, and the first enlarged diameter portion 31 is knitted.
In the first enlarged diameter portion 31, half of the 1/2 knitting needles which were in the inactive position up to that time are knitted by 3/4 of all knitting needles by adding to the knitting, and one knitting needle is provided for every third knitting needle. Is still in the inoperative position.

Next, from the point indicated by 32a in FIG. 1, one knitting needle is sequentially added to the knitting at every three courses at the above-mentioned inactive position, and the knitting is performed every four courses. In the wale on the side, every other knitting needle, which has been in the inactive position, is sequentially added to the knitting for every knitting of the two courses to knit the second enlarged diameter portion 32. And point 32
Above b, all knitting needles on the shin side join the knitting, and point 32c
As described above, all the knitting needles are added to the knitting on the calf side, and thereafter, the remaining portion of the leg 3 is knitted with twice the knitting needles at the beginning of knitting.

After the knitting of the leg 3, the loop of the upper end 40 of the leg is held by a transfer jack, and the double-welt knitting of the outer-layer perforated portion 4 is started, and the outer-layer perforated portion is formed by 1 × 3 rubber knitting. No. 4 front knitted fabric 41 and inner knitted fabric 42 are continuously knitted.

After the knitting of the inner knitted fabric 42, the loop held by the transfer jack is transferred to the knitting needle being knitted, and the inner layer side which is a continuous portion of the outer layer perforated portion 4 and the inner layer perforated portion 5 is transferred. The knitting of several courses of the leg upper end portion 52 is performed, and then the knitting of the bag portion 6 is started. In the knitting of the bag portion 6, the knitting needle corresponding to 1/2 of the entire circumference on the calf side on the right side in FIG. 1 is made inactive while holding the loop, and only the remaining half of the knitting needles are used for forward / reverse knitting. As a result, the band-shaped knitted fabric portions having a constant width forming the front portion 61 and the rear portion 62 of the bag portion 6 are continuously knitted. At this time, the rear portion 62 has an inner pile knitting, and a sinker pile 64 is formed on the entire surface.

After the knitting of the band-shaped knitted fabric portion (6), the knitting needle on the calf side, which was in the inoperative position, is returned to the operative position, and the remaining portion of the upper end portion 52 of the inner layer leg is knitted into a tubular shape by all the knitting needles. ,
Further, after the mouth rubber portion 51 of the inner layer side perforated portion 5 is knitted into a double welt while inserting a rubber thread, a knitting end portion 53 is formed.
Is knitted with a 1 × 1 float structure to prevent fraying.

Next, after the above knitting step, the Disc opening 20
And the side edges 63 of the front part 61 and the rear part 62, which are formed by folding the band-shaped knitted fabric part in two, are stitched together with an overlock sewing machine to form the bag part 6. 1 is completed.

FIG. 3 shows the wearing state of the sock 1. After wearing the sock 1, only the outer layer side perforated part 4 is once turned back to insert the soccer protector P into the bag part 6. FIG. As shown, the bag 6
Since the entrance portion 60 is integrally formed by continuous knitting with the outer layer side perforated portion 4 and the inner layer side perforated portion 5, the inserted protector P is less likely to be displaced, and the entrance portion 6
Since 0 is suppressed by the outer layer side perforated portion 4 and is closed, the protector P is securely held in the bag portion 6.

Since the inlet portion 60 of the bag portion 6 is provided between the outer layer side perforated portion 4 and the inner layer side perforated portion 5, the bag inlet is exposed to the outside like a conventional sock. Without
Not only the appearance is good, but also there is no influence on the support force of the outer layer side perforated part 4 and the leg part 3, and conversely, the perforated part is doubled by the outer layer side perforated part 4 and the inner layer side perforated part 5. Because of the (four layers), the support power of the perforation is improved, and slipping-off is less likely to occur. Further, intrusion of mud or the like into the bag portion 6 is completely prevented.

Further, a knitted fabric of the rear portion 62 of the bag portion 6 is interposed between the protector P and the skin of the sock wearer, and a sinker pile 64 is entirely formed on the knitted fabric by pile knitting. Since it is formed, moisture absorption and transpiration due to perspiration are improved, and the sticky feeling and stuffiness unlike when the protector is directly worn on the skin are hardly generated, and the heat retention is also good.

Then, the first and second enlarged diameter portions 31 and 32 formed in the portion from the ankle portion 24 to the leg portion 3 form a small-diameter foot 2 side knitted with half the number of knitting needles. When,
A human body whose large-diameter legs 3 or more knitted with all knitting needles are smoothly continuous, and whose diameter has become much larger by inserting a protector P on top of being considerably thicker than the legs. It fits well on the calf and provides a natural support force, and the knitted fabric is not excessively stretched, so that the cushioning of the knitted fabric in the thickness direction does not decrease.

In the lower leg portion 30 and the first enlarged diameter portion 31 adjacent to the first and second enlarged diameter portions 31 and 32, the sinker loop between the wales corresponding to the inactive knitting needles becomes longer. , To form stripes parallel to the wale direction,
A W-shaped pattern appears by the first and second enlarged diameter portions 31 and 32, and a design effect can be obtained.

In the above-described embodiment, a case is shown in which only the rear portion 62 of the bag portion 6 is pile knitted. However, the other portion of the sock 1 including the front portion 61 of the bag portion 6 is pile knitted. Is also good. In this case, it is possible to obtain a certain cushioning effect by using the cushioning property of the knitted fabric of the bag portion 6 without using the protector. Although the pile knitting of the bag portion 6 is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to this, and the bag portion 6 may be knitted with another structure. Further, the number of knitting yarns may be increased or decreased as necessary to make the knitted fabric of the bag portion 6 thicker or thinner.

Further, in the above embodiment, the enlarged diameter portion 3 composed of the first and second two steps having different patterns for adding the stitches.
Although the case where the first and second diameters 32 are formed has been shown, the first diameter expansion part 31 may be omitted and only one diameter expansion part may be provided, or conversely, three or more diameter expansion parts may be provided. Also, the points 31a and 32a where the stitches start to be added and the points 31b and 31b where the stitches end and the stitches are added.
32b and 32c may be other than these positions.
Each may be one place or two or more places. In this case, the boundary between the enlarged diameter portions 31 and 32 and the upper half of the leg has a V shape, a zigzag shape, or the like.

Alternatively, the entire sock may be knitted with the same number of stitches without providing the enlarged diameter portions 31 and 32. In this case, the sock 1 is knitted from the inner layer side perforated rubber portion 51 for the first time and knitted at the discrete opening portion 20. You may end it. Further, in each case, the rubber mouth portion 51 of the inner layer side perforated portion 5 may be formed of a single layer knitted fabric such as a roll welt other than the double welt.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the side portions of the front side portion 61 and the rear side portion 62 of the band-shaped knitted fabric portion having a constant width overlapping each other are stitched to form the bag portion 6 has been described. The bag portion can be formed only by knitting by using a knitting method similar to that of the heel pocket or toe pocket, or by performing needle raising and needle lowering in a plurality of courses in the same method. Also, the socks 1 can be knitted by a flat knitting machine having four needle beds, in which case the forward / reverse knitting of the bag portion is replaced by reciprocal knitting using only the knitting needles of one of the front and rear needle beds. You.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the protector P (for soccer or the like) is inserted into the bag portion 6 is shown.・ It can be used for various purposes, such as inserting a heat insulator, a cold insulator for compresses, etc., a hidden pocket for inserting a portable accessory case or emergency money, and securely inserts various articles. Can hold. At this time, the shape, size, position, and number of the bag portions may be appropriately determined according to the article to be inserted. In addition, a supporter can be formed by omitting the foot 2 of the sock 1.

[0026]

Since the sock of the present invention is constituted as described above, it has the following effects.

An outer-layer perforated portion composed of an inner and outer double knitted fabric knitted in a double-welt integrally with the leg portion, and an inner-layer perforated portion continuous to the inner knitted fabric end of the outer-layer perforated portion. Since a bag portion is formed in the continuous portion by forward and reverse knitting only a wale corresponding to substantially a half circumference of the tubular knitted fabric, and a protector or the like can be inserted, an insertion opening of the bag portion is provided. Is located between the outer layer side perforated part and the inner layer side perforated part and is not exposed to the outside, so that not only the appearance of the sock is good, but also the support force and wearing feeling of the sock itself are reduced by the insertion hole. On the contrary, the inner and outer double perforations improve the perforation support force, and the socks do not easily slip down. Also, the insertion port of the bag portion is an inner layer side perforated portion,
Since it is fixed and closed by the outer layer side perforated portion, articles such as a protector can be securely held in the bag portion, and intrusion of mud or the like into the bag portion can be prevented.

The bag portion is formed by folding a continuous band-shaped knitted fabric portion between the outer layer side perforated portion and the inner layer side perforated portion into two and binding the side edges overlapping each other. ,
A sock with a bag portion can be manufactured by continuous automatic knitting and minimum sewing, and the size of the bag portion can be sufficiently secured, and the shape and position of the bag portion can be freely set.

Further, since at least the surface of the bag portion that comes into contact with the wearer's skin when wearing socks is piled, moisture absorption and transpiration due to perspiration is good, and the sticky feeling as when the protector is directly worn on the skin. It is hard to cause stuffiness and also has good heat retention.

Then, knitting is started from the side of the dissected part in a state where the knitting needle is in the inoperative position every other one or several socks, and in the knitting from the ankle to the leg, every one or several knittings, By increasing the number of knitting needles by one or several, and knitting with all the knitting needles from the upper half of the leg to the perforated part, the diameter of the part beyond the leg is gradually increased, or the knitting is similarly performed from the dissected part side. First, in knitting from the ankle to the leg, the number of knitting needles is increased by one or several at every knitting of one or several courses, every one or several wales, and then,
The number of remaining knitting needles is increased by one or several for each knitting of several courses, and after performing these operations once or several times, knitting is performed with all knitting needles from the substantially upper half of the leg to the perforation. By gradually increasing the diameter of the part beyond the leg gradually and stepwise, it is considerably thicker than the foot part, and it fits well on the human calf part where the diameter has become larger by inserting the protector and naturally Since a sufficient support force is obtained and the knitted fabric is not excessively stretched, the cushioning of the knitted fabric in the thickness direction does not decrease. In addition, since stripes parallel to the wale direction are formed in the enlarged diameter portion, a W-shaped pattern or the like appears, a design effect is obtained, and it is possible to contribute to improvement of a functional appearance as a sports sock.
