4 is a view showing a double-sided structure by the double-sided knitting technique.

The present invention relates to an antimicrobial socks having an antimicrobial single-sided or antimicrobial pile in a double-sided knit structure or pile structure.

Socks are generally manufactured by knitting method, and the products which consist of single jersey or rib jersey are most commonly used, and they are manufactured by forming various pile structures during double jersey in special applications. do. In most cases, this is applied in the form of a loop file, but it is often applied to another file structure such as a cut file.

Korean Patent Application No. 10-2001-0004928 (and its dual application utility model registration application No. 20-2001-0002384) discloses pile socks with different materials of outer thread and solid thread and a sock knitting machine for manufacturing them. Here, the yarn and the outer thread constituting the socks are selected differently in material and / or color.

Korean Utility Model Registration Application No. 20-2003-0038148 discloses a sports socks knitted a pile structure that can support the toes on the bottom of the socks, the pile organization absorbs the impact and promotes the stability of the foot, It is described that serves to allow the heat and moisture released from the foot to be quickly discharged.

On the other hand, if you wear socks made of natural fibers for a long time, the feet will keep warm, but the warmed feet will emit a lot of moisture to maintain body temperature, socks made of natural fibers will absorb the discharged moisture.

The moisture absorbed by the socks makes it easier to breed germs that are harmful to the human body due to the body's body temperature and the space inside the shoes, which can harm unpleasant smells and health of the feet. These bacteria are severely reproduced.

In order to prevent this, many socks made of antimicrobial fibers made by attaching or containing antimicrobial substances such as charcoal, zeolite, antimicrobial metal, microparticles of far-infrared emitting substance or colloid to the surface of the fiber are proposed. Since the substance is applied equally to the whole socks or partly, specifically the sole and the side part (between the sole and the instep), the amount of antibacterial substance is used or the antimicrobial activity is differentiated according to the user's foot disease. There was a limit to being used as a professional socks manufacturing technique such as giving.

Therefore, there has been a need for a method that can produce antibacterial socks that exhibit more effective and economical antibacterial activity.

The present inventors, in order to solve the above problems, in the socks having a double-sided knit structure or pile structure, by knitting or forming a single-sided tissue or pile tissue on the side that directly receives the sweat and heat in contact with the foot skin part by forming antibacterial fibers In addition, it was possible to produce antibacterial socks that exhibit more effective and economical antibacterial activity.

An object of the present invention, in socks having a double-sided knit structure or pile structure in whole or in part, the antimicrobial in which one single-sided tissue in the aforementioned double-sided flat structure or the pile structure in the aforementioned pile structure is knitted or formed as antimicrobial fibers To provide socks.

In understanding the specification of the present invention, one side of the single-sided tissue knitted with antimicrobial fibers in the double-sided knit structure is called antimicrobial single-sided tissue, and the pile structure knitted with antimicrobial fibers in the pile structure is called antimicrobial pile tissue.

In general, socks can be divided into ankles, insteps, toes, sides, heel and soles, and the soles can be divided into toes, heel, medial middle (concave), lateral middle and heel. .

1 and 2 are views showing the parts of the socks according to the body parts, are provided to help understand the present invention. 1, 1. Band portion; 2. ankles; 3. instep; 4. toes; 5. side section; 6. heel; 7. the sole of the foot, in Figure 2, 71. toe; 72. Ankle heel area; 73. medial medial region (concave); 74. Outer middle region; 75. Indicate heel area.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, antimicrobial unilateral tissue or pile tissue made of antimicrobial fibers is applied to a portion of the sock, in particular the toe, side, heel and / or sole of the sock.

According to one variant of the present invention, the antimicrobial pile can be selectively applied to either the inside or the outside of the sock, preferably to the inside of the sock, in particular the sole of the foot, in contact with the foot. That is, fungi or microorganisms that cause illness or bad smell on the feet may exist inside shoes that have been used for a long time, but the antibacterial or antifungal action of the socks acts first on the human body, or on the fungus or microorganisms that may be present on the skin of the foot. It is because it is preferable. Therefore, the antimicrobial pile tissue according to the present invention is preferably applied to the inside of the socks, but if necessary can be applied to the outside of the socks, in some cases can be applied so that the difference in the content of both inside and outside. have.

According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an antimicrobial sock with different application of antimicrobial fiber density at various parts of the sole. Specifically, when the sole is divided into a toe part, an heel part, a middle part concave part, a middle part outward, and a heel, the toe part and the concave part are particularly sweaty and moist, so that the activity or reproduction of the microorganism is estimated to be active. Areas and recesses need to increase antimicrobial activity compared to other areas, and this distinctive function is very important for diabetic patients and the like whose body immunity is greatly reduced.

In order to increase the antibacterial activity, the content of the antimicrobial component, ie, silver nanoparticles (nanosilver), should be increased. First, the method of using antimicrobial fiber with higher silver content, and second, the amount of antimicrobial fiber or antimicrobial pile itself (number or density). ) May be considered. In the present invention, both methods can be used.

The content of the antimicrobial component such as silver nanoparticles may vary by 5 to 200 wt%, preferably 10 to 100 wt%, more preferably 10 to 100 wt%, depending on various parts of the socks. More specifically, in the case of using the same amount of antimicrobial fiber, the number or density of the antimicrobial fiber or antimicrobial pile in the antimicrobial socks according to the present invention is 5 ~ 200 wt%, preferably 10 depending on various parts of the socks. The difference may be about -100 wt%, more preferably about 10-100 wt%.

Specifically, the content of the above-described antimicrobial nanoparticles or the number or density of the antimicrobial fibers or the antimicrobial file may be various parts of the socks, for example, the band part 1, the ankle part 2, the instep part 3, the toe part ( 4) along the side part 5, the heel 6 and the sole part 7 or in various parts of the sole part of the sock, for example, the toe part 71, the heel part 72, the medial middle part (Concave) 73, lateral middle 74, and heel 75 may not only have the above-described content differences, but also the various parts of the sole of the sock (toe, heel, medial middle) Concave, lateral medial, and heel) may result in a difference in the above-mentioned content or in the aforementioned number or density.

In the present invention, the antimicrobial fiber or the antimicrobial file is a fiber produced by directly spinning the antimicrobial component, specifically, the antimicrobial nanoparticles are included in the fiber, or is prepared to contain the antimicrobial nanoparticles on or near the fiber surface by coating or injection method. It may be a fiber. Here, the antimicrobial nanoparticles included in the fiber means that the nanoparticles are evenly dispersed in the fiber, and can be prepared by spinning the nanoparticles together with the fiber raw material polymer. On the other hand, since the coating or injection method can inject or penetrate only the nanoparticles in close proximity to the surface, the antimicrobial particles are present only on the surface or very shallow interior of the fiber.

In the present invention, the antimicrobial nanoparticles are nanoparticles made of antimicrobial metals such as silver (Ag), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), inorganic particles such as silica, titania or zirconia containing such antimicrobial metals. It means a metal-inorganic composite nanoparticle containing an antimicrobial metal.

According to the present invention, in socks having a double-sided structure or pile structure, the antimicrobial one-sided tissue or pile tissue made of antimicrobial fibers may be concentrated or selectively installed on the whole or a part of the socks, in particular, the sole of the socks by knitting or the like. Antibacterial socks that can effectively and economically exhibit antimicrobial activity can be provided.
