To provide hold-up stockings in particular by a circular hosiery knitting machine, comprising using a circular hosiery knitting machine with two or more feeds or drops, wherein at least one first feed is capable of dispensing bare elastomeric yarns, on the back side. A method for producing a tubular product having a gripping region and a tubular product obtained by the method. The method is that, in the first feed, one or more needles of one or more adjacent needle groups are moved to a “tuck” position or “drop” position to pick up bare elastomeric yarn, while other needles of the needle group are moved to a “miss” position. Locked in position or moved to a “miss” position and thus excluded from picking up bare elastomeric yarns, the needles of the needle group pick up the yarn or yarns dispensed in subsequent feeds and are in a “miss” position at least in the first feed. It is operated in one or more subsequent feeds to form knitting with constrained needles.

Sock manufacturing according to this existing method involves installing several needles on the same axis in a rotating cylinder that rotates in the forward and reverse directions, and loop tissue is created as the yarn is wound around the rotating cylinder. Circular cylinder type sock knitting machines are widely used.

On the other hand, in the socks (S) woven in this way, as shown in [FIGS. 1] to [FIG. 3], the instep portion (T) and the ankle portion (A) are formed at a predetermined angle (θ1), so that when the sock wearer stands, Make the top of the foot (T) and the ankle part (A) form an “ㄴ” shape. At this time, the angle formed by the instep portion (T) and the ankle portion (A) is made larger than the angle (θ1) when socks (S) are not worn than the angle (θ2) when socks (S) are worn. This allows the socks to be worn conveniently by standing up the instep (T), and after wearing the socks, the instep (T) and ankle (A) become a folding angle (θ2), making them convenient to wear. This is to enable activity.

Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2015-0089244 (Publication Date: 2015.08.05) Korean Patent No. 10-2397028 (Registration Date: 2022.05.09) Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2017-0049555 (Publication date: 2017.05.10)

However, as shown in [FIGS. 1] to [FIG. 3], the angle (θ1) at which the instep portion (T) and the ankle portion (A) contact each other is, when wearing socks, the instep portion (T) and the ankle portion (A) As the angle formed is wider than θ2, the following problems occur.

(1) If the contact angle (θ1) between the instep part (T) and the ankle part (A) is large, not only does it make it easier to wear socks by extending the wearer's feet outward, but also when wearing socks, the instep part (T) Even if the contact angle θ2 between the and ankle portion A is reduced to approximately a right angle, the wearing state can be conveniently maintained.

(2) However, as the angle between the instep (T) and the ankle (A) becomes smaller before and after wearing the socks, wrinkles (W) occur in this area after wearing the socks.

(3) Wrinkles (W) formed like this act as a factor that spoils the appearance and aesthetics of worn socks.

(4) In addition, when wearing shoes, the wrinkles (W) are pressed against the back of the shoe, which puts pressure on the sock wearer's skin or creates marks, causing inconvenience in using socks.

The present invention takes this into consideration, by partially creating a loop tissue created when the feeder rotates, and forming a container-shaped connection part to protrude out of the body of both feet at the area where the instep and ankle come into contact. The purpose is to provide a method of weaving wrinkle-improving socks and socks that prevent wrinkles from forming in the area, making them easy to wear and convenient to use.

In particular, the present invention configures the connecting portion to be woven in various shapes such as an oval shape or a rectangular shape, so that the connecting portion can be woven in various shapes in consideration of the degree, number of folds, thickness, etc. of the connecting portion depending on the purpose of use or material of the sock. Another purpose is to provide a weaving method for wrinkle-improving socks and the socks.

The method of weaving wrinkle-improving socks according to the present invention to achieve this purpose is installed on a rotating cylinder in which several needles (N1 to N12) are disposed at equal intervals on the outer circumference of the needles (N1 to N12) rotating forward and backward. In this method of weaving wrinkle-improving socks, which are woven using a sock machine including several feeders that continuously repeat and weave the loop tissue (L); When weaving the connection part (C) where the instep (T) and the ankle (A) come into contact, one of several feeders rotates 4 to 20 times so that the needles (N1 to N12) form a loop tissue (L) as follows. Let it be woven; It is characterized in that only some of the needles (N1 to N12) are repeatedly woven to create a loop tissue (L) so that the connecting portion (C) protrudes out of the sock body (B).

In particular, the connecting portion (C) is characterized by being woven in an overall oval shape with the number of loop tissues (L) decreasing toward the middle between the instep (T) and the ankle (A).

In addition, the connection portion (C) is characterized in that it has a rectangular shape between the instep (T) and the ankle (A).

It should be understood that there may be variations.

[Weaving method for wrinkle improvement socks]

In the weaving method of wrinkle-improving socks according to the present invention, as shown in [FIG. 4] to [FIG. 7], a rotating cylinder in which several needles (N1 to N12) are arranged at equal intervals on the outer circumference and rotates in the forward and reverse directions is used. , a sock machine configured with several feeders is used to repeatedly weave loop tissue (L) using the needles (N1 to N12).

At this time, the present invention uses one of several feeders to rotate about 4 to 20 times to weave a connection part (C) at the contact area between the instep (T) and the ankle (A), and the connection part (C) By weaving the sock so that it protrudes out of the main body (B), when the sock is worn, this connecting part (C) unfolds, making it easy to wear the sock, but when the sock is worn, the part where the instep (T) and the ankle (A) come into contact This is to prevent wrinkles from forming.

Here, the connecting portion (C) is formed in an oval or rectangular shape so that it can be expanded and contracted appropriately according to the material, purpose, and purpose of the sock.

Hereinafter, this configuration will be described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings. In the drawing, reference numerals "N1 to N12" represent needles, and when the length of the needles (N1 to N12) is displayed as long, it is raised to create a loop structure. Conversely, when the length is displayed as short, it is in a raised state so that a loop structure is not created. Each indicates a descending state.

go. socks machine

The sock machine includes a rotating cylinder that rotates in forward and reverse directions. Additionally, several needles (N1 to N12) are formed at equal intervals on the outer circumference of the rotating cylinder. The drawing exemplarily shows 12 needles (N1 to N12) formed on a rotating cylinder. Each of these needles (N1 to N12) creates one loop tissue (L) each time the rotating cylinder rotates, and these loop tissues (L) are intertwined to weave socks.

Meanwhile, several feeders are mounted on the rotating cylinder, and each feeder supplies yarn so that the loop tissue (L) is woven from each needle (N1 to N12) each time it rotates along the outer circumference of the rotating cylinder. Accordingly, as the sock machine rotates once, each feeder rotates once, so a row of loop tissue (L) equal to the number of these feeders is woven each time it rotates.

me. Weaving of the joint where the ankle and instep meet

The weaving of the connection part (C) where the ankle (A) and the instep (T) come into contact with the sock body (B) is, as shown in [Figure 4] to [Figure 7], when the rotating cylinder rotates once, the ankle (A) The loop tissue (L) is formed only in the area where the instep and the instep (T) are in contact, so that the connection part (C) protrudes out of the sock body (B).

As such, the weaving process of the connecting portion (C) will be described with reference to [FIGS. 5] to [FIG. 7] as follows.

The connection part (C) is made up of several needles (N1) in the section where the ankle (A) and the instep (A) come into contact in the sock body (B) woven up to the instep (T), as shown in [FIG. 5] to [FIG. 7]. ~N12) are woven using only some of them.

At this time, the connection part (C) uses only one of several feeders that have finished weaving the instep (T), as shown in [Figure 5], so that the loop organization (L) is made only for some needles (N4 to N9), like this. For the created loop tissue (L), weave the loop tissue (L) again as shown in [Figure 6], and then use the needle ( It is formed by weaving the ankle (A) portion with respect to the needles (N1 to N3, N10 to N12) and the needles (N4 to N9) that were woven to form the connection portion (C) according to the present invention.

The connection part (C) woven in this way is shown as an example in that it is formed in a two-row rectangular shape with six loop tissues (L) formed in one row, as shown in [Figure 7].

However, the connection part (C) is shown as an example of being formed by rotating one feeder twice to explain the weaving method in [Figure 7], but preferably, the connection part (C) is formed by one of several feeders. It is desirable to configure it so that one can be rotated 4 to 20 times to adjust the width of the connecting portion (C) for weaving. This is to allow the socks to be used by determining the number of rotations by taking this into account as the degree of folding between the ankle and the instep varies depending on the material, purpose of use, and use of the socks.

In addition, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the connecting portion (C) is formed in a rectangular shape by weaving the same number of loop tissues (L) each time it rotates, as shown in [Figure 7], but is limited to this. That is not the case. In other words, the connecting portion (C) can be manufactured in various shapes depending on where the loop tissue (L) is created each time the feeder rotates.

Among them, the connection part (C) is formed so that the number of loop tissues (L) decreases from the edge of the ankle (A) and the instep (T) to the middle, so that it can be manufactured in an overall oval shape. Most desirable.

As described above, the present invention forms a connection part between the ankle and the instep, but this connection part protrudes out of the sock body, so that when wearing the sock, the sock can be spread out long and easily worn, and after wearing it, the sock is connected to the ankle and the instep. It prevents wrinkles from forming between the instep, making it convenient to wear and use.
