Moreover, the lateral pore pads 116 and 136 support the lateral pore opposite to the medial pore which is the arch portion of the sole, and thus the phalangeal pads 110 and 130, the calcaneus pads 112 and 132 and the medial pore pad 114 , More protruded relative to 134).

Since the outer pore pads 116 and 136 are not provided in the center of the bottom surfaces 102 and 122 of the left and right socks 100 and 120, but are provided outside the bottom surfaces 102 and 122 of the left and right socks, The right side should be distinguished, and it is preferable to be formed in a different color from the phalanx pads 110 and 130, the calcaneus pads 112 and 132, and the medial pore pads 114 and 134.

Furthermore, the surface of the phalangeal pads 110 and 130, the calcaneal pads 112 and 132, and the medial pore pads 114 and 134 and the outer pore pads 116 and 136 are formed to form a plane. In particular, the inner pore pads 114 and 134 may be formed in an inclined surface or curved surface in addition to the horizontal surface so that the surface corresponds to the sole arch shape.

Meanwhile, the phalanx pads 110 and 130 and the medial pore pads 114 and 134 are formed in a lattice shape, and the outer pore pads 116 and 136 are formed in a half moon shape and a flat pattern, and the calcaneal pads 112 and 132. Illustrates that they are formed in a circular shape which is concentric and differs in diameter. Here, the phalanx pads 110 and 130 and the inner pore pads 114 and 134 may be arranged in a circular, polygonal, cross, or straight shape instead of lattice, and the outer pore pads 116 and 136 may be arranged. It is formed in a shape other than a half moon, and can be arranged in a grid or circle, polygon, cross, or straight instead of a flat pattern, and the calcaneus pads 112 and 132 are oval, flat or polygonal, cross-shaped instead of concentric and have different diameters. It can be changed to a straight shape or the like to form an array.

Furthermore, the heights of the phalanx pads 110 and 130, the medial pore pads 114 and 134, and the calcaneus pads 112 and 132 are formed in a range of 1 to 3 mm (preferably 2 mm), and the outer pore pad ( 116, 136 are formed in the 4-6 mm range (preferably 5 mm). Here, the heights of the phalanx pad 130, the medial pore pads 114 and 134, the calcaneus pads 112 and 132, and the outer pore pads 116 and 136 are limited as described above, but the height can be increased or decreased. The higher the maximum value, the less accurate the weight-bearing sport.

Therefore, the effects of using the functional socks according to the present invention, for example, when golf swings during sports such as golf, baseball, badminton, etc., mountain climbing, walking (walking), bicycles as follows .

First, when the functional socks according to the present invention is used only for golf, help the stable posture and smooth weight movement when playing golf after wearing socks, the phalanx pads (110, 130) and calcaneus pads (112, 132) It prevents the left foot from being opened by excessive force during downswing, and plays a role to hold the direction.

In addition, the medial pore pads 114 and 134 stimulate the medial pore, which is the sole arch, to relieve foot fatigue, and the outer pore pads 116 and 136 have a main function of holding distance and direction.

On the other hand, the outer pore pads 116 and 136 have a relatively high height compared to the phalanx pads 110 and 130, the medial pore pads 114 and 134, and the calcaneus pads 112 and 132. Both feet are seated in an inverted triangle shape from the sole bottom of the shoe rather than the medial end where the sole arch is located. (See Figure 6)

As a result, both feet are inclined by weight loss prevention openings (118 and 138) to help prevent inadequate slipping in the shoes during golf rounding, helping inverted triangular posture, increasing swing speed and sophisticated impact. It is possible.

In other words, it prevents the collapse of the shaft, which is the left tilting phenomenon and the sway, which is the right tilting phenomenon, through the outer pore pads 116 and 136 during the swing, thereby preventing the weight from being pulled to one side when moving the weight, thereby reinforcing weight movement and quickness. This enables powerful impact and even natural posture correction. Furthermore, by making a perfect lower body fixation at the putting address, it helps to putt stable and can reduce the number of strokes.

For example, as illustrated in FIGS. 7A to 7F, the load distribution on the socks during swinging in the process of playing golf after wearing the functional socks according to the present invention is as follows.

First, as shown in FIG. 7A, the phalangeal pads 110 and 130, the calcaneus pads 112 and 132, the medial pore pads 114 and 134 of the left and right socks 100 and 120 at the address. The front of the outer pore pads 116 and 136 support both feet to maintain a stable balance.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7B, the back swing leader is connected to the phalanx pad 130, the calcaneus pad 132, the medial pore pad 134, and the lateral pore pad 136 of the right sock 120. Support from the front of the to prevent the posture is disturbed.

Next, on the back swing, as shown in FIG. 7C, a partial surface (about half) of the phalanx pad 130 and the calcaneus pad 132 of the right sock 120 and the front side of the outer pore pad 136 are supported. .

Next, as shown in FIG. 7D, the phalanx pad 110 and the calcaneus pad 112 of the left sock 110 are prevented from opening and rest of the left sole by excessive force during down swing. While supporting the front and the front of the outer pore pad 116 to hold the direction.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7E, at the moment of impact, the left knee is partially partially (about half or more) of the phalangeal pad 110 and the calcaneal pad 112 of the left sock 110 and the front of the lateral pore pad 116. It is fixed while being supported at, increasing the flying distance.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7F, a partial surface (about half) of the phalanx pad 110 and the calcaneus pad 112 of the left sock 110 and the front side of the outer pore pad 116 in the finish operation. Supported by, you can feel the axis of the left foot.

In particular, the phalangeal pad portion 202a and 222a and the metatarsal pad portion 202b and 222b prevent the forefoot slipping into the narrow space in front of the shoe when walking downhill (climbing, wearing high heels) so that the limb valgus ( hallux valgus) can be prevented.

The first metatarsophalangeal joint pads 210 and 230, and the calcaneus pad 212, are respectively included in the phalanx pad portions 202a and 222a, the metatarsal pad portions 202b and 222b, and the ankle foot pad portions 202c and 222c. 232, inner foot pads 214 and 234 and outer foot pads 216 and 236 are included in detail.

In particular, the large phalangeal pad portion (202a, 222a), metatarsal pad portion (202b, 222b) and the ankle bone pad portion (202c, 222c) and the first metatarsal joint pad (210, 230), calcaneus The pads 212 and 232, the inner foot pads 214 and 234 and the outer foot pads 216 and 236 are preferably formed of a synthetic resin material having excellent frictional force such as nylon urethane, silicone, and rubber, and the like, and are limited to the materials described above. It is possible to change to a material with excellent frictional force.

The first metatarsal joint pads 210 and 230 are pads that support the metatarsal joints of the big toe among the phalanx pad portions 202a and 222a and the metatarsal pad portions 202b and 222b. Approximately triangular grooves are formed.

Here, the first metatarsal joint pad (210, 230) is the sesamoid bone of the first metatarsal joint when the big toe pushes the floor strongly during the pre-swing phase during the gata cycle. Relieve stress on).

The calcaneus pads 212 and 232 are pads on which calcaneus are supported among the ankle pad portions 202c and 222c, and have a circular shape formed inside thereof. In particular, the calcaneus pads 212 and 232 are marked with left, right or L (Left), R (Right) letters, etc. corresponding to the left foot and the right foot, so that the user can easily wear the foot. In addition, the pads are provided in a divided form while connecting the rear ends of the inner foot pads 214 and 234 and the outer foot pads 216 and 236 to the outside of the calcaneal pads 212 and 232, respectively.

Here, the calcaneal pads 212 and 232 provide shock absorbing to the calcaneal at the heel strike phase of the walking cycle.

In addition, between the first metatarsal joint pads 210 and 230 and the calcaneus pads 212 and 232, pads having an “11” shape are separately provided.

The inner foot pads 214 and 234 are formed along the inner end edges of the bottom surfaces 202 and 222 of the left and right socks 200 and 220 from the tips of the outer foot pads 216 and 236 which will be described later. 216 and 236, the pad is divided into lengths shorter than the length of the inner foot support.

Lateral foot pads 216 and 236 start from the toe (from the index finger) of the phalangeal pad parts 202a and 222a, the metatarsal pad parts 202b and 222b, and the ankle foot pads 202c and 222c. The pad supports the arch, and the outer edge is one curved shape, and the inner edge is a shape in which two opposite curved shapes are connected.

In particular, the outer foot arch pad 216 of the left sock 200 is integral with the height relative to the first metatarsal joint pads 210, 230, calcaneus pads 212, 232, and medial foot arch pads 214, 234. Protruding to a high height, the outer foot pad 226 of the right sock 220 is divided and the first metatarsal joint pad (210, 230), calcaneus pads (212, 232) and the inner foot pad (214, 234) Is formed equal to the height.

Here, the outer foot arch pad 216 of the left socks 200 of the outer foot arch pads 216 and 236 function as follows.

First, the fifth metatarsal head (front support point), cuboid bone (3-5 mm), calcanal tuberosity (calcaneal tuberosity), which is the joint at the point where the toe and instep meet the golf swing Support the outer foot arch formed by). At this time, when the outer foot arch pad 216 does not support the outer foot arch, the weight (increased several times during the golf swing) becomes a mechanical load, and is transferred from the talus to the calcaneus, and the load is forward Dispersion between support points and posterior supports complements the weak spots formed between the two groups of trabecular trabeculars.

Second, the long plantar ligamament (deep fiber, cladding fiber) forming the bottom of the lateral longitudial arch prevents the instability of the longitudinal and cubic metatarsal joints. At this time, when the intense stress in the vertical direction (golf swing, etc.) is applied, if the long plantar ligament does not resist the impact with strong elastic force, fatigue fracture may occur in the anterior segment of the calcaneus. Reinforces the fragility of long ligaments.

Third, the lateral femoral pad (216) is the plantar ligament with the plantar ligament (peroneus brevis) and the periorus longus (peroneus longus: prosthetic force action to the anterior upper arch of the uterine arch), the extraoral muscle ( Abductor digiti minimi reduces the fatigue of the outer foot arch, thereby preventing ankle inversion sprains.

Fifth, the instability of the support surface (outer foot arch) that can occur during golf swing can lead to greater instability that can cause diseases of the ankle, knee, hip, and lumbar spine. It ensures the stability of the joints.

Moreover, the outer footbow pad 216 formed on the bottom surface 222 of the left sock 200 may perform the same function as the outer foothole pad of the first embodiment.

In addition, the outer footbow pad 226 formed on the bottom surface 222 of the right sock 220 may also be integrally formed with the same height as the outer footbow pad 216 formed on the bottom surface 222 of the left sock 200. . Alternatively, the lateral foot pads 216 and 236 of the left and right socks 200 and 220 may be combined with the first metatarsal joint pads 210 and 230, the calcaneus pads 212 and 232 and the medial foot pads 214 and 234. At the same height, it may be formed in a divided form.

In particular, the phalangeal pad portion 302a and 322a and the metatarsal pad portion 302b and 322b prevent the forefoot slipping into the narrow space in front of the shoe when walking downhill (climbing, wearing high heels) so as not to be limb vulva ( hallux valgus) can be prevented.

Furthermore, divided pads are disposed at edges of the phalanx pad portions 302a and 322a and the metatarsal pad portions 302b and 322b of the bottom surfaces 302 and 322 of the left and right socks 300 and 320. A plurality of pads, such as curved, protrusion, and straight lines, are disposed in a space except for the first metatarsophalangeal joint pads 310 and 330 formed in the metatarsal pad portions 302b and 322b.

In addition, the first metatarsal joint pads 310 and 330, the calcaneus pads 312 and 332, and the medial foot arch are included in the phalanx pad portions 302a and 322a, the metatarsal pad portions 302b and 322b, and the ankle foot pad portions 302c and 322c. Pads 314 and 334 and outer foot pads 316 and 336 are included in detail.

In particular, the large phalangeal pad portion (302a, 322a), the metatarsal pad portion (302b, 322b) and the ankle bone pad portion (302c, 322c) and the first metatarsal joint pad (310, 330), the calcaneus The pads 312 and 332, the inner foot pads 314 and 334, and the outer foot pads 316 and 336 are preferably formed of a synthetic resin material having excellent frictional force such as nylon urethane, silicone, and rubber, and the like. It is possible to change to a material with excellent frictional force.

The first metatarsal joint pads 310 and 330 are pads that support the metatarsal joints of the big toe among the phalanx pad portions 302a and 322a and the metatarsal pad portions 302b and 322b and are formed in a substantially “D” shape. "D" shaped pads are formed on the inside and the outside of the groove, and have the same function as in the foregoing second embodiment.

The calcaneus pads 312 and 332 are pads on which calcaneus are supported among the ankle pad portions 302c and 322c and have a circular shape formed inside thereof. In particular, the calcaneus pads 312 and 332 are marked with left, right or L (Left), R (Right) letters, etc. corresponding to the left foot and the right foot so that the user can easily wear the foot. In addition, the pads are provided in a divided form while connecting the rear ends of the inner foot pads 314 and 334 and the outer foot pads 316 and 336 to the outside of the calcanic pads 312 and 332, respectively. same. Furthermore, the manufacturer's trademark may be provided in the form of a pad on the periphery of the calcaneus pads 312 and 332. In addition, a plurality of point-shaped pads are separately disposed between the first metatarsal joint pads 310 and 330 and the calcaneus pads 312 and 332.

The medial foot pads 314 and 334 are pads having a concave arc surface while the inner end has a concave arc surface so that the medial foot arch 302c and 322c support the longitudinal arch. The socks 300 and 320 are formed at the same height, respectively. As a result, the medial foot pads 314 and 334 protrude to a relatively higher height than the first metatarsal joint pads 310 and 330, the calcaneus pads 312 and 332, and the medial foot pads 314 and 334.

Here, the inner foot pads 314 and 334 function as follows.

First, the medial foot pads 314 and 334 are the first metatarsal bones, which are joints at the point where the calcanal tuberosity medial projection, the navicular bone (15-18 mm from the ground), and the big toe and the foot meet each other when walking. Supports the medial foot arch formed by the head.

Second, the medial foot pad in the process of maintaining the medial foot arch by combining the tarsal bones and the metatarsal bones by plantar ligaments, such as the sublingual foot ligament, the snow ligament ligament, and the basal ligament ligament. (314, 334) compensate for ligament weakness or sagging. In addition, the medial foot pads 314 and 334 protect the medial foot arch from excessive stress against short-term powerful stress, and support to maintain proper tension of the plantar ligaments forming the medial foot arch.

Third, the medial foot pads 314 and 334 combine the flexor hallucis longus, which stabilizes the talus and calcanus, and the posterior tibial muscle, which maintains the foot arch by collecting the tarsal bones together. posterior), if weak or stretched the abductor hallucis muscle that supports the entire medial foot arch, it functions to secure the role of the muscles. As a result, the medial foot pads 314 and 334 reduce the sustained stress on the muscles by preventing the medial foot arch from collapsing.

Fourth, the plantar fascia extends from the calcanus to the proximal phalanges beyond the metatarsal joints, which can lead to microtrauma if you walk or climb a long period of time without being sufficiently trained. By supporting the foot arch through the pads 314 and 334, it maintains moderate tension of the fascia and supplements the elasticity to prevent plantar fasciitis.

The outer foot arch pads 316 and 336 are pads that are supported by the outer foot arch at opposite positions of the inner foot arch pads 314 and 334, and are divided by a set number.
