Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to toe covers.

Undersocks having toe pockets into which five toes can fit have been developed for the purpose of preventing or treating the occurrence of athlete's foot in the toes. If you wear such undersocks with toe pouches and then use regular socks without toe pouches on top of them, it will cause damage between each toe, especially in the toe area. Because the toe part of the toe bag of the undersock is interposed, directly adjacent toes do not come into contact with each other, and therefore, the hygroscopicity and breathability of this part are maintained well. It can exhibit excellent effects such as preventing athlete's foot and promoting the therapeutic effect of athlete's foot when used in combination with a drug.

However, these undersocks are meant to be worn under regular socks, especially for women.
Since it is meant to be worn under stockings, it is better to keep the length as short as possible so as not to add bulk. In other words, it is better for undersocks used as toe covers to have a length that does not reach the heel much.

Therefore, even if undersocks of such length are worn alone or with socks or stockings layered over them, after a while the undersocks will fall off in the direction of the toes inside the socks or stockings. There was a problem with how easy it was.

However, upon careful study, this phenomenon is also due to the fact that the openings of short undersocks only extend to the vicinity of the arch of the foot, and do not extend beyond the heel. However, more fundamentally, each time you walk, the lower part of the base of your toes repeatedly bends and stretches, so at that time, the part near the base of the toe of the undersock is repeatedly bent and stretched, and each time, it becomes difficult to wear them. The opening side is slid out toward the toe of the foot, and once the opening side is slid out toward the toe, the opening edge of the opening can be pulled in the opposite direction by a tab that catches on the inner surface of socks, stockings, etc. It was recognized that this was due to the failure to restore.

In order to eliminate this problem of easy slipping off, a known method is to attach the end of a U-shaped rubber band to the opening of the undersock, and then hook this rubber band to the rear part of the heel. It has been proposed to prevent undersocks from coming off. However, such combined use of a rubber band has the disadvantage that it is not only very unsightly, but also causes pain in the area touched by the band when worn.

Also, when known undersocks are worn under socks or stockings, they are bulky, making it difficult to put on shoes or causing pressure pain, especially when worn under women's stockings. In such cases,
This caused problems such as being unsightly because it could be seen through exposed areas such as pumps.

This invention was made in order to solve all the problems of the conventionally known undersocks as mentioned above at once, and here, the toe socks which have the effects as mentioned at the beginning are provided. Although it is a cover, it is intended to provide something that is easy to wear, difficult to take off, and is not bulky, so it is easy to wear shoes and does not look unsightly. The undersocks had five toe pockets, but now they are located only in the area where four toes can fit, excluding the outermost little finger.
Two to four toe pouches are formed into which each toe can fit, and at least the space between each of the five toes is partitioned by one of the toe pouches. Finger bags,
The toe cover is characterized in that it is continuous and integrated with a cylindrical cuff into which the four toes of the foot following the four toes can fit.

One embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. A is a toe cover made of stockinette fabricated according to this invention. When a flat knitting machine is used, each toe bag (11) to (14) is divided into a toe bag (U

When inserted, the opening portion 15Q is given contractility in the direction of narrowing its diameter, similar to the wrist portion of a glove.

In addition, the method of inserting the elastic thread b as described above in order to give elastic contractility to this shoe opening ftQ is, for example, as follows.
As shown in FIG. 3, the rubber thread or elastic thread b inserted through the above-mentioned courses is exactly the same as the method of inserting the rubber thread or elastic thread into the cuff of a conventional sock or the wrist of a knitted glove. As shown in the same figure, it is possible to simply insert it and intertwine it with the knitting yarn a of the bag knitting course, but in other embodiments, the rubber yarn inserted through the above course Alternatively, a part of the elastic yarn b may be woven into the knitted fabric of the shoe opening (5) (not shown).

In addition, in the above embodiment, the rubber thread or elastic thread b is inserted through the entire cormorant pad of the shoe opening φ} for each course, but in other embodiments, this part The rubber thread or elastic thread b may be inserted into every other course, or in the embodiment of the pond, the rubber thread or elastic thread b may be inserted only into the portion near the mouth edge lining ( (not shown)

Position the two toes (4) and (2), which correspond to the ring finger and index finger, respectively, to form a toe pocket 0 x 4 for each finger, and then place the toes in the remaining two middle fingers and toe fingers. The parts into which the corresponding toes (3) and (1) can enter, respectively, are connected from the parts to the toes (31 (1)), respectively.
Finger hole (may be four-D) with exposed finger hole.

As in each of the embodiments shown in FIGS. 4 to 7 above, one toe is exposed from each region where one or two of the four toes are inserted. When one or two of the finger holes q0 to (23) are used, the finger holes (2I) to

Several embodiments of the toe cover A according to the present invention have been described above, but since the toe cover A according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, when it is worn on the toe of the foot, , the following effects can be achieved. In other words, the four finger bags (11) shown in Figure 1
Taking as an example the toe cover A having a toe cover A according to the present invention, the details thereof will be explained in detail with reference to FIG. The toe cover A has no toe sockets and consists of four toe sockets (11) to (l4) followed by a cylindrical cuff OQ, except for the outermost little toe (5). Four toes (1) to (4)

) can fit in, so when it is worn in the state shown in Figure 2, a) The right side end part Oea in Figure 2 of this toe cover A (IQ) is The toe opening (l) of the toe cover A is held between the main body (6) and the outermost little toe (5).
The left side part QQb in Figure 2 of lQ is the left side (1) b of the part where the phalanx of the toe (l) corresponding to the toe has the largest width. and the slightly constricted left side of the four-legged body (6), midway between the left side (7)b of the part where the five phalanges make the width of the five-legged body (7) of the foot the largest. Since the toe cover A according to the present invention is in close contact with the surface (6)b, even if you walk on tatami or jutan while wearing it, it will not easily come off, and it will not come off easily even if you walk on tatami or jutan while wearing it. Even if you are wearing stockings, etc., it is difficult to take them off inside the socks or stockings.

■ Also, even if you wear this toe cover A and wear socks or stockings on top of it, the toe opening (16
) is because it does not cover the area (7) a (7) b where the width of the foot (7) is widened the most by the five phalanges, so it is not bulky and you can wear shoes on it. Also, you won't feel any strong pressure or pain like you would when wearing traditional undersocks.

■ Moreover, between each of the five toes (1) to (5),
Since the toe bags (1) to (4) of this toe cover A keep them isolated from each other, it is possible to prevent athlete's foot from forming at the base of the toes or between the fingers. It can be prevented in much the same way as undersocks with five toe pockets.

(Also, this toe cover A has a short length from the toe to the edge of the shoe opening, so even if you wear pumps, etc., it will not be exposed at all, or even if it is exposed again, it will not be exposed.) Because the amount of exposure is small, it's hard to tell if you're wearing toe covers, or even if you can tell, it's not noticeable, so it looks good.

It has such depressing effects.
