Abstract
A diabetic sock assembly for protecting a diabetic's feet from abrasions while walking on a granular material includes a sock that may be worn on a foot thereby protecting the foot from granular material while walking. A strap is coupled to the sock and the strap is selectively matable to itself. The strap selectively closes the sock around a leg when the sock is worn thereby inhibiting the granular material from entering the sock. A panel is coupled to the sock and the panel is positioned on the sole. The panel is comprised of a rigid material to protect the foot from the granular material.

- The disclosure and prior art relates to sock devices and more particularly pertains to a new sock device for protecting a diabetic's feet from abrasions while walking on a granular material.
- An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a sock that may be worn on a foot thereby protecting the foot from granular material while walking. A strap is coupled to the sock and the strap is selectively matable to itself. The strap selectively closes the sock around a leg when the sock is worn thereby inhibiting the granular material from entering the sock. A panel is coupled to the sock and the panel is positioned on the sole. The panel is comprised of a rigid material to protect the foot from the granular material.
- There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
- The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
- The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a bottom perspective view of a diabetic sock assembly according to an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 2 is a bottom view of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 3 is a top perspective view of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view taken along line 4-4 ofFIG. 2 of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 5 is a perspective in-use view of an embodiment of the disclosure. - With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, a new sock device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by thereference numeral 10 will be described. - As best illustrated in
FIGS. 1 through 5 , thediabetic sock assembly 10 generally comprises asock 12 that is selectively configured to be worn on afoot 14. Thesock 12 is worn by a diabetic user or the like when the diabetic user expects to be walking on sand at a beach or the like. Thesock 12 protects thefoot 14 fromgranular material 16 while walking thereby inhibiting thegranular material 16 from abrading thefoot 14. In this way thesock 12 inhibits the diabetic user from developing potentially life threatening sores on thefoot 14 resulting from walking in sand. Thesock 12 has a sole 18, atop edge 20 and anouter surface 22. - A
strap 24 is coupled to thesock 12 and thestrap 24 is selectively matable to itself. Moreover, thestrap 24 closes thesock 12 around aleg 25 when thesock 12 is worn. Thestrap 24 has adistal end 26 with respect to thesock 12 and thestrap 24 is positioned on theouter surface 22 of thesock 12. Thestrap 24 extends around thetop edge 20 of thesock 12. - A
first mating member 28 is coupled to thestrap 24 and thefirst mating member 28 is spaced from thedistal end 26 of thestrap 24. Asecond mating member 30 is coupled to thestrap 24 and thesecond mating member 30 is aligned with thedistal end 26 of thestrap 24. Thesecond mating member 30 engages thefirst mating member 28 wherein thestrap 24 to close thetop edge 20 of thesock 12 around theleg 25. Thus, thesock 12 frictionally engages theleg 25 when thestrap 24 closes thetop edge 20. In this way thetop edge 20 inhibits thegranular material 16 from entering thesock 12 and causing abrasions on thefoot 14. - A
panel 32 is coupled to thesock 12 and thepanel 32 is positioned on the sole 18. Thepanel 32 is comprised of a rigid material to protect thefoot 14 from thegranular material 16. Thepanel 32 has afirst surface 34 and asecond surface 36 and thefirst surface 34 is coupled to theouter surface 22 of thesock 12 corresponding to the sole 18. Thesecond surface 36 of thepanel 32 abuts thegranular material 16 when the user walks. - In use, the
sock 12 is worn on thefoot 14 when the user expects to walk in sand, dirt and othergranular material 16. Thestrap 24 is tightened around theleg 25 and thefirst mating member 28 is releasably fastened to thesecond mating member 30. In this way thetop edge 20 of thesock 12 is closed around theleg 25. Thus, thegranular material 16 is inhibited from entering thesock 12 and causing abrasions on thefoot 14. Thepanel 32 on the sole 18 provides support while walking on thegranular material 16 and thepanel 32 protects a bottom of thefoot 14 from abrasions. - With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
- Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
