Description

The invention relates to a sock, in particular to a sports sock, which in some areas has shock absorbing pads.

In particular, when a person moves a lot and quickly, for example during sports, his legs are in tight shoes. In this case, footwear serves, on the one hand, to absorb shock, and also for strong support of the foot, on the other hand, prevents injuries of the sole of the foot in contact with sharp irregularities or objects located on the soil.

As a result of movement, the body becomes very hot. For heat regulation, the body releases sweat to provide cooling as a result of the expenditure of heat on evaporation. Inside the shoe, this evaporation, however, is slowed down. This leads to the fact that the foot in the shoe heats up very much, to which the body reacts with even more sweat. An increased amount of sweat is absorbed by the socks in the shoes, which leads to moisturizing the feet and softening the skin. As a result, the protective effect of keratinized skin of the leg is weakened, and this contributes to the formation of corns. The leg after this no longer withstands the load.

To promote the evaporation of sweat secreted inside the shoe, membrane fabrics are included. However, it turned out that eliminating the humid atmosphere in shoes in this way is possible only to a limited extent. In addition, the use of membrane tissues has its limits with respect to the area occupied by them, since with its increase the strength of the shoe decreases.

The purpose of the invention is to eliminate these problems. The basis of the invention is the task of creating such a sock that provides sufficient air conditioning in the shoes and, thus, ensures dry skin of the legs when playing sports. According to the invention, this problem is solved by placing on the arch of the foot of the conditioning channel.

The invention provides a sock, which makes it possible to sufficiently condition the shoes and, as a result, ensure dry skin when playing sports. During the roll of the foot from heel to toe between the arch of the foot and the tongue of the shoe, the effect of changing high and low pressure occurs, as a result of which air exchange is activated through the conditioning channel.

Advantageously, the conditioning channel is located between at least two shock absorbing spacers arranged parallel to each other.

This allows you to increase the width of the free space to the shoe, which contributes to the circulation of air and thereby the evaporation of moisture.

Preferably, the shock absorbing pads are placed in the form of thickenings on both sides of the tongue of the shoe, therefore, the conditioning channel is located directly under the tongue of the shoe. This ensures optimal air exchange through the air conditioning duct. Preferably, the conditioning channel is formed by a thin mesh fabric, mainly jacquard fabric.

In an embodiment of the invention, an air gap is formed between the conditioning toe channel and the shoe tongue in a stationary position. Due to this, when rolling the legs from heel to toe, the effect of increased or decreased pressure is enhanced.

In another embodiment, there is a conditioning channel on the inside or outside of the toe that extends from the plantar region to the cuff of the toe. Due to this, an effect of increased or reduced pressure is achieved, which when rolling the legs from heel to toe, manifesting to a lesser extent in the side of the shoe, is used to divert moist air from the shoe. Thus, conditioning inside the shoe is enhanced even more.

In another improved embodiment of the invention, the longitudinal sides of the conditioning channel are interconnected by at least one ligament that intersects the plantar region. Due to this, the position of the conditioning channel on the arch of the foot is fixed and formation of wrinkles at the toe on this side of the foot is prevented. Using a ligament, the conditioning channel is rigidly fixed on the arch of the foot. Thus, in addition, support is provided for the midfoot. An elastane bundle is preferred.

In a preferred improved embodiment of the invention, the conditioning channel extends over the entire area of the arch of the foot. This ensures optimal removal of moisture from the back of the foot.

Other improvements and embodiments of the invention are reflected in the dependent claims. One embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawings and will now be described in detail. Show:

Fig.7 is a view of a pair of socks from below.

In general, the toe indicated by 1 has a toe 11, a heel 12 and a sole 13 located between the toe and heel. The toe 11, the heel 12 and the sole 13, as shown by the embodiment of the invention according to FIGS. 1 and 3, can be made of hardened material for cushioning . It is also possible to use a combination of materials, such as natural wool with elastofibrous materials, such as elastane.

The upper part of the sock adjoins the fitting part of the toe, which in the embodiment of the invention according to FIGS. 1 and 3 extends even higher than the calf. Outside or on top there may be a toe trim element for cushioning of the ankles. At the end that is remote from the end of the toe portion of the toe, the upper part of the toe has a sleeve 14. In the present embodiment, the conditioning channel 15 leaves the sleeve 14, which extends to the sole 13 and is made of conditioning mesh fabric. The conditioning channel 15 facilitates the removal of moisture from the sole up. Such a conditioning channel 15 may be located both on the inside of the leg, and on the outside of the leg or on both sides of the toe.

An air conditioning channel 16 is also provided on the arch of the foot of the toe 16. The air conditioning channel 16 extends from the heel 11 above the fold of the foot. In an improved embodiment, passage of the channel to the sleeve 14 of the toe 1 is possible. In this way, it is possible to increase the efficiency of the conditioning channel 16. The conditioning channel 16 is made of very thin fabric, for example, knitted or jacquard fabric. Because of this, a step is formed between the conditioning channel 16 and the adjacent sections.

In this embodiment, furthermore, gaskets 21 are provided on both sides of the conditioning channel 16 on the arch 17 of the foot of the toe 1. The gaskets 21 are made in the form of thickenings and extend from the toe 11 to the fold of the foot. Gaskets 21 are thicker than the material used in the tarsal area; even more so than the conditioning channel 16 made of a very thin conditioning mesh-knitted fabric.

Sock 1, for example, has other gaskets 2. In the embodiment of the invention according to Fig. 1, gasket 22 is located in the area of the heel of sock 1. In this case, the shape of the gasket 22 corresponds to the anatomical features of the leg in this region. In addition, in the ankle region, i.e. at the point of transition from the toe-fitting part of the toe to its upper part, a gasket 23 is provided, which has a substantially annular shape. The annular gasket 23 covers essentially the surface 24 of a circular shape. The gasket 23 is made in such a way that it rises significantly above the surface 24.

Gaskets 2 are usually made from synthetic yarn or from Compount-fabric, or Compount-yarn, or similar materials. In this embodiment, the toe strips 2 are made from hollow fibers that are wrapped in wool or cotton. Yarn made of synthetic hollow fibers especially softens shock and pressure. The sole 13 can be made of microfiber knitwear, which helps to reduce abrasion. The foot bed in the areas of the toe 11 and heel 12 can also, if necessary, be made of microfibre fabrics.

5 ligaments 18 are provided on either side of the conditioning channel 16 in this embodiment according to FIGS. 5-7, which, starting at the pads 21, intersect the plantar region 13 and are attached to the opposite side of the conditioning channel 16. Since, in a modification of this embodiment of the pads, 21 as limiters of the conditioning channel 16 is not provided, the ligaments 18 begin directly at one side of the conditioning channel 16 and end after covering the plantar Asti 13 on the other side of the ventilation channel 16. In the present embodiment, the ligament 18 made of spandex, pairwise are attached to both outer sides and in the middle of the ventilation channel 16. In this way the ventilation channel uniformly stretched on the roof 17 of the foot.

Shown in the embodiment of FIG. 2, shoes 3 have a sole 31 to which a closed top 32 is attached. In the shod state (FIG. 3), the user's foot rests on the sole 31, while the rest of the foot to the ankles is surrounded by the top 32. Top 32 may be made of various materials. Whereas previously leather was used as the material for top 32, nowadays, mainly synthetic fibers and synthetic materials are used.

The top 32 of the shoe 3 has a tongue 33, on top of which - not shown - the shoe is laced. For this, blocks 34 are provided on the shoe. The tongue 33 has a cotton lining, so that when the shoe is tightly laced or under heavy load, the user's foot does not feel pain. On the sides of the shoes 3 there are air conditioning zones 35, which, depending on the area of application of the shoes, are in different places and have different shapes and sizes. The conditioning zones 35 are made of membrane fabric.

The functioning of the gaskets 21 and the conditioning channel 16 at different locations is explained below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4: in a stationary position due to differences in the thickness of the conditioning channel 16 and adjacent fabrics of the toe 1 and tongue 33 of the shoe 3, an air gap 4 is formed. This effect reinforced by the gaskets provided for in the respective embodiment 21. The ligaments 18 help to ensure that the conditioning channel 16 on the arch of the foot is uniformly tensioned, resulting, for example, to prevent the formation of Doc.

When rolling the foot from the heel to the toe, the conditioning channel 16 is pressed against the tongue 33, resulting in increased pressure in this area. This increased pressure accelerates the discharge of moist air through the conditioning channel 16 to the outside. After the foot returns to the resting position between the conditioning channel 16 and the tongue 33, an air gap 4 is again formed, which leads to the appearance of a reduced pressure in this region. Under the influence of this reduced pressure, now dry external air through the conditioning channel 16 enters the inside of the shoe. This change of high and low pressure during running occurs between the tongue 33 and the conditioning channel 16 continuously, which ensures optimal conditioning inside the shoe.

A similar effect can be achieved on the inside or outside of the shoe. During the run, the distance between the upper of the shoe 32 and the foot is continuously changing, so that in this area, although a weak effect of the pump is achieved. This effect of the pump, provided by the side channel 15 located on the side of the toe 1, which extends from the sole of the toe 13 at least slightly above the fold of the foot, can be used to further condition the space inside the shoe.
