Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sock for correcting hallux valgus, which is called an O-leg, and for stabilizing a stance during exercise.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are many people with hallux valgus, in which the sole of the foot can be turned inside out and rolled. For this correction, it is necessary to raise the outer end portion of the sole portion of the little finger, which is mainly used as shoes, slippers and insoles. Therefore, when these socks, slippers and insoles were not worn, the effect of the correction could not be expected.

[0003] Also, a band type is in practical use. However, the band type has five metatarsal bones 101, 102, 103, 104 and 105 shown in FIG.
It is of the type that tightens the tip of However, since this tightening is for the width direction of the toe,
It is not optimal for correcting the entire O-leg. That is, the O-leg means whether or not not only the toe but also the shin 107 below the knee kid 106 can stand straight and vertically when standing, as shown in FIG. That is, a normal person has a center of gravity on the inner ankle (ankle) 108 side, whereas a person with O-legs has an outer ankle 1
It is a state where it goes toward 09. For this reason, it is more effective to lift the related fourth and fifth metatarsal bones and change the direction of the soles of the feet, rather than tightening them in the width direction.

[0004] Also in socks, for hallux valgus,
In some cases, a rubber sheet is attached to the outer side of the little finger to increase the height.
However, since the socks had a thick rubber sheet, the stretch of the knitted fabric was killed, the stuffiness was severe, and the socks could not withstand washing. Therefore, it is not widely used at present.

The raising of the outer side of the little finger can be applied not only for correcting hallux valgus, but also for stabilizing the stance during exercise. For example, a person who hits the golf right has a habit of leveling the ground in advance with spikes so that the right sole is stepped inward in order to shift the weight from the right foot to the left foot. However, there are socks in which the little finger side is raised outside, and if this is worn on the right foot, the necessity is eliminated. This is not limited to golf, and the same can be said for the movement of a baseball pitcher.

[0006]

Therefore, according to the present invention, the stretch of the knitted fabric is maintained, and the fabric is not stuffy, and has a washing-resistant and comfortable feeling. It is an object to provide socks for correcting hallux valgus and stabilizing stance during exercise.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above circumstances, the present invention is directed to a sock made of different knitted fabrics for the right foot and the left foot. The above problem has been solved by configuring a sock made of a thick knitted fabric.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a sock according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an embodiment in which the socks of the present invention are turned over. FIG. 2 is a rear view of an embodiment showing a state where the socks of the present invention are worn on feet. FIG.
1 is a plan view showing one embodiment of a sock with only a thick knitted fabric according to the present invention. FIG. 4 is a plan view showing another embodiment of another sock having only a thick knitted fabric according to the present invention. FIG. 5 is an organization diagram showing another embodiment of the thick knitted sock fabric of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a short sock showing one embodiment of a sock consisting only of the knitted fabric of the present invention. Reference numeral 2 denotes an example of a tissue of an upper rubber portion (Top), which is lengthened to prevent slipping. 3 is the upper instep (Instep),
4 is a sole part (Sole) of the lower surface, and 5 is a thick knitted fabric of the present invention.

FIG. 2 shows that the sock of the present invention consists of different ones, distinguished into a right foot 1a and a left foot 1b. The thick knitted fabrics 5a and 5b are connected to both soles 4a and 4b.
Are provided on the outer sides Oa and Ob of both little finger sides 6a and 6b.
The positions of the thick knitted fabrics 5a and 5b are, specifically, the little finger side 6
a, 6b from the base side to the middle finger via the ring finger,
This is a position on the distal end side from the metatarsal to the third metatarsal (not shown).

In the case of this embodiment, the sock 1 shown in FIG. 1 has an instep portion 3 and a sole portion 4 other than a thick knitted fabric 5 made of a plain thin knitted fabric. However, in the case of the thick knitted fabric 5, in the case of FIG. 3, the thickness is increased by using a pile knitting structure using a thick pile yarn 7 or a basic knitting structure using an extremely thick count yarn (not shown), The knitting is made so that this part becomes extremely high. The basic knitting structure referred to in the present invention is a flat knitting / rubber knitting / part knitting.
This refers to the three original organization consisting of the knitting, excluding the pile knitting organization. In the case of FIG. 3, the thick pile yarn 7 is used only in the portion of the thick knitted fabric 5, and in other portions, the thick pile yarn 7 is used.
Is made to float (float), and this is cut 7c. This is a technique that is commonly referred to as "clearly edited" by traders.

FIG. 4 shows a thick knitted fabric 15 showing another embodiment. This thick knitted fabric 15 is composed of a two-stage knit of a slightly thick thick knitted fabric 15a and an extremely thick knitted fabric 15b. The thick knitted fabric 15α on the inner side I is a normal pile knitting structure using a normal pile yarn 17α, and this portion is thicker and slightly higher than other thin knitted fabrics. The thick knitted fabric 15β on the outermost side O has a pile knitting structure using a thicker pile yarn 17β, as in the previous embodiment.
In other parts, cut this thick pile yarn 17β 17c
Then, the thickness is increased so that this portion becomes extremely high. In the case of this two-stage method, the thin knitted fabric becomes a slightly thick thick knitted fabric 15α, and then the clearly cut yarn 17c is added to the thickness. Will not occur.

FIG. 5 is an embodiment of an organization chart showing the two-stage knitting. 5 is a slightly thick knitted fabric 1 on the inner side I.
5α is shown. In this case, the yarn used as the ground yarn at the time of flat knitting is replaced with the ordinary pile yarn 17α as the core yarn 1α.
8 has a pile knitting structure in which a pile Pα is formed on the inner surface. The left side of FIG. 5 shows an extremely thick knitted fabric 15β at the outermost O. In this case, the core yarn 18 is the same,
A normal pile yarn 17α and a thicker pile yarn 17β
Is used as an auxiliary thread to form a pile knitting structure in which a pile Pβ is formed. The thick pile yarn 17β is cut 17c at the slightly thicker knitted fabric 15α.

As the pile yarns 17α and 17β, cotton, acrylic, or spun yarn of 100% wool can be used. Also,
If 100% wool is used for the pile yarns 17α and 17β, the moisture can be diffused better than cotton and can be provided as a high quality sock, but in any case, the compressive strength is strong and the height can be maintained. Desirable. The core yarn 18 is made of spandex or the like, and nylon or the like can also be used. The core yarn 18 has shrinkability, and the pile yarn 17
This is a pile knitting structure in which α, 17β is placed on a large nail (not shown) of a sinker to expand the loop and form piles Pα, Pβ in a ring shape.

Although a detailed view of knitting is omitted, in the case of this embodiment, three knitting yarns of 18, 17α and 17β are supplied from three yarn paths. However, the pile yarn 17β of the present invention
When knitting a slightly thick knitted fabric 15α, pile yarn 1
With the 7β needle in the inoperative position, the needle is not supplied with knitting yarn so that it cannot be held (known by those skilled in the art as “flying”) and retain the previous stitch I just want to. That is, when knitting other than the extremely thick knitted fabric β of the present embodiment, the pile yarn 17β is left floating on the back of the knitted fabric for a long time, and cut and cut later. For this purpose, automatic cutting may be performed using a K-type circular knitting machine.
Such floating knitting is a technique that has been used when a pattern is formed using colored yarn.

Therefore, the outermost sides O of the two little fingers of the sole of the sock sole have the same number of stitches in the present embodiment knitted as described above, but the outermost side O includes the thick pile yarn 17β. It becomes an extremely thick knitted fabric 15β consisting of two knitting yarns, and then becomes a slightly thicker knitted fabric 15α with less one knitting yarn. The sole is a thin knitted fabric. Therefore, a gentle step height is formed by the difference in thickness, and when the user wears this, the sole of the foot is kept in a state where the outside of the little finger side is highly inclined. Such an inclination forms a void in the sole and improves the air permeability, and thus has an effect of eliminating stuffiness and contributing to prevention of athlete's foot.

FIG. 6 is a plan view showing a sock according to another embodiment of the present invention in an inverted state. FIG. 7 shows a state in which the sock of the present invention is worn, in which the sock is cut at the position of the thick fabric knitting, and the position of the toe inserted therein is indicated by a broken line. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view. Further FIG.
Shows a state in which the sock of the present invention is also worn, the sock is cut at the position of the thick fabric knitting, and the position of the toes inserted in the sock is added by a broken line. FIG.

In the sock 21 shown in FIG.
The instep 3 and the sole 24 have a flat knitting structure. The thick knitted fabric 25 in this embodiment is made of a knitted fabric, which is integrated with the inner surface of the sock 21 by sewing 29 as shown in FIG. Since the cloth of the thick knitted fabric 25 is sewn on the inner surface of the sock 21 in this manner, the sock 21 is not different from a normal sock when viewed from the surface. The thick knitted fabric 25 made of this cloth in the case of FIG. 6 has a flat knitting structure like the instep portion 23 and the other sole portions 24, but uses a thick knitting yarn in an aligned manner, and is extremely thick and firm. The knitted fabric is thick enough to be easily sewn and has a sufficient height. Then, as can be seen in FIG. 7, the height is set so as to reach from the little finger 26 to the middle finger including the ring finger.

The sock 31 shown in FIG. 8 is a thick knitted fabric 35 showing another embodiment. This thick knitted fabric 35 is also sewn with this cloth 3
9, the thick knitted fabric 35 of the cloth is folded inward at the outermost end of the little finger side 36, and the periphery thereof is sewn 39. Therefore, the outer side of the little finger side 36 has a thicker two-step thickness by overlapping and sewing the two pieces, and as the outer side of the little finger side 36, the one having a gradually higher step is obtained. Has become. In addition, since it is folded inside, there is no discomfort to the sole of the foot when worn.

The thick knitted fabrics 25 and 35 to be sewn in the form of the cloth shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 are made of the same knitted fabric as the socks in the present invention. Therefore, the knitted fabric has elongation. Further, in the thick knitted fabric 25 shown in FIG. 6, an example of a flat knitting is shown as an example, but it can be freely selected from a pile knitting, a row knitting, and the like. The knitting yarn to be used can have a desired height from the thickness due to the difference in thickness between several aligned yarns and an extremely thick yarn.
Furthermore, the gauge of the stitch or the pile tip of the pile stitch may be raised, and this can also be freely selected.

When the socks 1 and 21 of the present invention are used for correcting hallux valgus, the socks are put on the outside of both feet 1a and 1b with thick materials 5a and 5b as shown in FIG. You should keep it. Further, when one leg is used for stabilizing a stance during exercise, in which only one leg is inclined and stepped on, only one leg or the other leg may be repeatedly worn to wear the socks of the present invention. As described above, the socks of the present invention are truly useful and practical with a wide range of applications.

[0022]

The socks of the present invention can contribute to correcting hallux valgus and stabilizing the stance during exercise.

Since the sock of the present invention is composed of only a knitted fabric and a thick knitted fabric is attached to the inner surface, the appearance is the same as that of a normal sock, and it is easy to wash, is soft, has good cushioning and elongation, and has a step. There is no discomfort and the socks have a good feel.

The socks of the present invention are well-ventilated so that they do not become stuffy and prevent athlete's foot. In this respect, the socks can be developed for a wide range of applications.
