Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to socks, and particularly to socks having toe pockets at the toe portions thereof.

For the purpose of preventing or treating the occurrence of athlete's foot in the toes, socks have been developed that have toe pockets in which five toes can fit.

When such socks with toe bags are worn, the toe areas of the toe bags of the socks are interposed between each toe, especially in the toe area, and the toe area is directly adjacent to the toe area. To prevent athlete's foot by allowing the toes to come into contact with each other, thus maintaining good hygroscopicity and air permeability in this area, and to promote the therapeutic effect of athlete's foot when used in combination with a drug. It can exhibit excellent effects such as:

However, among these socks, undersocks are worn under regular socks, and especially for women, they are also worn under stockings. The length should be as short as possible to avoid bulk.

In other words, in the case of undersocks that serve as toe covers, the length to the opening of the shoe should not reach far enough to reach the heel.

Therefore, especially in the case of such short undersocks, even if you wear them alone or with socks etc. on top of them, after a while the undersocks will tend to move towards the toe inside the sock. There was a problem with it being easy to take off.

However, upon careful study, this phenomenon occurs because in the case of short undersocks, the opening of the shoe only extends to the vicinity of the arch of the foot, and the opening does not extend beyond the heel. Although this may depend on the fact that there is no movement, the more fundamental reason is that the lower part of the base of the toe repeatedly bends and stretches each time you walk, so at that time, the part near the base of the toe socket of the sock is repeatedly flexed and stretched, and the toe It was observed that the bag was pushed out toward the tip of the toe, and that the toe corresponding to the little finger was the most likely to come off.

In addition, the phenomenon that the toe pockets of socks with toe pockets tend to come off from the toe pocket side corresponding to the little finger is caused by the phenomenon that the toe pockets of socks with toe pockets tend to come off from the toe pocket side corresponding to the little finger. The same thing was observed in the case.

Therefore, based on the above knowledge, this invention aims to provide socks with toe pockets that do not easily come off naturally while being worn.
In socks having toe pouches into which toes can be inserted, the part near the base of any of the toe pouches, including the toe pouch in which at least a toe corresponding to the little finger can be inserted, is made of rubber thread or elastic thread. The point is that it is given a contractility in the direction of narrowing the diameter of the finger sack.

An example will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. This example relates to a case where the undersock A is made of stockinette and has five toe pockets 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in the toe area. , each finger bag 1 of the undersock A of this example
5, parts 1a and 5a near the bases of the toe pouch 1 where the toe corresponding to the big toe enters, and the toe pouch 5 corresponding to the little finger are each provided with a direction in which the aperture of the toe pouch is narrowed as follows. This gives it contractility.

That is, if the undersock A of this example is entirely knitted with the knitting yarn 6 made of cotton yarn, or both cotton yarn and woolly nylon yarn, or elastic yarn with appropriate elasticity, then The above-mentioned portions 1a and 5a of the knitted fabric that constitutes the finger bags 1 and 5 include, respectively,
At every arbitrary course, for example every other course, an elastic thread 7 such as rubber thread or spandex is inserted to cause the knitted fabric in that part to contract more strongly than in other parts in the direction of narrowing the diameter of the finger bag. It gives it gender.

Note that the elastic yarn 7 for each knitted fabric portion 1a and 5a
For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the method of inserting the elastic thread is exactly the same as the method of inserting the elastic thread in the cuff of a conventionally known sock, or the method of inserting the rubber thread or elastic thread in the wrist part of a knitted glove. The rubber thread or elastic thread 7 inserted through the course may simply be inserted and intertwined with the knitting thread 6 as shown in the figure, but in other embodiments, A part of the rubber thread or elastic thread 7 inserted through the above course may be knitted into the knitted fabrics 1a and 5a (not shown).

In the above embodiment, the rubber thread or elastic thread 7 is inserted into the knitted fabrics 1a and 5a every other course, but in other embodiments, each course of the knitted fabrics 1a and 5a is A rubber thread or elastic thread 7 may be inserted for each course, or in other embodiments, a rubber thread or elastic thread 7 for one to three courses may be inserted every two to three courses.

In this way, in each of the above embodiments, the rubber thread or elastic thread 7 inserted through the parts 1a and 5a of the knitted fabric constituting the finger bags 1 and 5, respectively, or the part 1a of the knitted fabric
and 5a, and a part of the knitted fabric is knitted into the knitted fabric by a rubber thread or elastic thread 7, which imparts contractility in the direction of narrowing the caliber to the parts 1a and 5a of the knitted fabric. However, in still another embodiment, the knitted fabric may be configured as follows to impart contractibility to the portions 1a and 5a of the knitted fabric in the direction of narrowing the diameter thereof.

That is, in other embodiments, the portion 1a of the knitted fabric
and 5a, the knitting yarn 6 that knits the other parts of the knitted fabric.
Instead, by knitting with a yarn with stronger elasticity (for example, spandex called C3Y), the knitted fabric of the sections 1a and 5a has a diameter of the finger bag that is stronger than the other sections. Contractibility in the direction of narrowing may be imparted,
In still another embodiment, the portion 1a of the knitted fabric
and 5a, the knitting yarn 6 that knits the other parts of the knitted fabric.
By knitting with an elastic yarn such as spandex, the knitted fabric of the sections 1a and 5a has a stronger contractility in the direction of narrowing the diameter of the finger bag than the other sections. good.

In each of the above embodiments, in addition to the portion 5a near the base of the toe pouch 5 where the toe corresponding to the little finger is placed, there is also a portion 1a near the base of the toe pouch 1 where the toe corresponding to the thumb is placed. An example has been shown in which the toe bag is given contractility in the direction of narrowing the aperture, but in the socks according to this invention, at least even the part 5a near the base of the toe pouch 5 has the aperture narrower than the other parts. It suffices that the contractility in the direction of narrowing the aperture is imparted to the part 1a near the base of the finger sack 1, which is stronger than other parts. It is not limited to the examples.

In another embodiment of the socks according to this invention, in addition to the toe pouch 5 in which the toe corresponding to the little toe is inserted, a part or all of the toe pouch including the toe pouch, that is, each toe pouch 1 ,2
, 3, 4, or all of them, and the portions near the bases of the finger stalls 5, contractibility in the direction of narrowing the diameter of the finger stalls may be imparted using rubber threads or elastic threads. It is something.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the case where this invention can be applied to undersocks with a short length has been illustrated and explained, but this invention can be applied to socks with a long length, such as undersocks with a short length.
It can also be applied to long socks B whose length exceeds the area where the heel rests, as shown in the figure.
In the sock B shown in FIG. 3, among the toe bags 1 to 5 formed in the parts where each of the five toes fits, the part near the base of the toe pouch 5 corresponding to the little finger According to this invention, only the finger bag 5a is given contractility in the direction of narrowing the diameter of the finger stall 5 by means of a comb thread or an elastic thread.

As described above, in socks A, B, etc. according to this invention, at least the silk part 5a near the base of the toe bag 5 where the toe corresponding to the little finger is inserted is made of rubber thread or elastic thread. It would be good if the socks were given contractility in the direction of narrowing the aperture of the toe bag, but the socks to which this idea can be implemented are undersocks, as shown in Figure 1. A toe pouch is formed in each part of the five toes, that is, five toe pouches 1 to 5.
It is not limited to all of them.

That is, in other embodiments, the shape of the undersock is such that only a portion of the toe area, where five toes are inserted, has a toe pouch, as shown in FIG. 4, for example. 3. 5 may be formed, and only finger holes 12 and 14 may be formed in the remaining part. In still other embodiments, each of the finger holes 1 to 5 shown in each of the above embodiments may be formed. , it may be cylindrical with an open end.

An example of the latter is as shown in FIG. In addition, according to this invention, for example, the knitted fabrics 21a and 25a of the finger bags 21 and 25 in the vicinity of the base of each finger bag are provided with a structure as described in each of the above embodiments. In addition to imparting contractibility, the tips of each of the finger bags 21 to 25 are also provided with contractility in the direction of narrowing the diameter using rubber threads or elastic threads, similar to the knitted fabric sections 21a and 25a. It is a good idea to give it to them.

Incidentally, in the socks of the above embodiments, elastic threads such as rubber threads or spandex are inserted through the knitted fabric of the portion 8 near the collar opening, similarly to the known side, for each arbitrary course. Needless to say, it is difficult to take off.

The socks according to this invention have been described above in detail with reference to several embodiments, but as can be easily understood from the above, the socks have toe pockets in which the toes can be inserted.
The socks according to this invention include the above-mentioned finger bags.
The part near the base of some or all of the toe pouches, including at least the toe pouch in which the toe corresponding to the little finger is inserted, is made contractible in the direction of narrowing the diameter of the toe pouch with rubber thread or elastic thread. Given that, when you wear these socks, at least
The part near the base of the toe bag where the toe corresponding to the little toe, which is easy to come off, is in close contact with the part near the base of the toe with elastic contraction force.

Therefore, with the socks of this invention, even if you wear them for a long time while walking, the toe bags will not come off toward the fingertips.
The effect of the socks with toe bags described at the beginning is achieved by keeping the toe bags in the same state as when the socks were worn, that is, without direct contact between each adjacent toe. , it is possible to achieve 100% performance.
