Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sock to be worn on a foot.
  • Hosiery such as socks and pantyhose generally cover the surface of feet and legs in a worn state. In wearing socks and then wearing shoes having large instep openings that allow the insteps to be visible, the socks can be seen from the openings. This may sometimes impair the aesthetic appearance based on the design of the shoes.
  • socks such as so-called foot covers, which are made invisible from the outside even in wearing shoes such as pumps having large instep openings by knitting a sock having a size of not reaching an ankle and providing a larger opening for a foot insertion on the instep side, is growing.
  • JP 2003-342803 A An example of such a conventional sock having a larger opening on the instep side is disclosed in JP 2003-342803 A.
  • Patent Literature 1 JP 2003-342803 A
  • Patent Literature 2 JP 3112115 U
  • the conventional sock has a large opening in an instep portion of the sock, so that even if a shoe having a large opening in its instep is worn, the sock would be hard to see from the opening of the shoe, preventing the aesthetic impression based on the design of the shoe from being impaired.
  • Patent literature 2 requires a step of cutting off fabric of an instep portion of the once knitted sock to form an opening, and processing an edge around the opening by overcast or the like, thus having a problem in that not only it takes time but also material for manufacturing the sock is partially wasted.
  • the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a sock that can maintain a state in which the sock is less likely to slip off and provide an excellent wearing feeling while ensuring a state in which the sock is hard to see, as well as that can be manufactured without taking time by a circular knitting machine in the same manner as a general sock.
  • An aspect of the present invention provides a sock that is integrally knitted as a whole with a circular knitting machine and has at least a toe portion covering a toe of a foot, a heel portion covering a heel of the foot, and a body portion cylindrically surrounding a lower leg of a leg, the sock including: a non-cylindrical foot connecting portion that is knitted between the toe portion and the heel portion and integrally connects the toe portion and the heel portion; and a non-cylindrical ankle connecting portion that is knitted between the heel portion and the body portion and integrally connects the heel portion and the body portion, wherein the foot connecting portion is knitted between the toe portion and the heel portion as a knitted fabric having a predetermined knitting width located on a sole side in a worn state, the ankle connecting portion is knitted between the heel portion and the body portion as a knitted fabric having a predetermined knitting width located on a back side of an ankle in the worn state, and a predetermined opening surrounded by the
  • this sock provides the foot connecting portion between the toe portion and the heel portion that form the sock and the ankle connecting portion between the heel portion and the body portion that form the sock, wherein the foot connecting portion and the ankle connecting portion that sandwich the heel portion are knitted as the non-cylindrical knitted fabrics having the predetermined knitting widths, respectively, to form the opening on the instep side, and this opening is surrounded by the toe portion, the foot connecting portion, the heel portion, the ankle connecting portion, and the body portion to open the large area from the ankle to the instep in the worn state.
  • the body portion is hidden under the pants, and the ankle connecting portion is positioned behind the ankle to be inconspicuous when viewed from the front of the foot, so that even in a state where a shoe having a large instep opening is worn, the opening of the sock is sufficiently larger than the opening of the shoe, and the portions other than the ankle connecting portion and the body portion of the sock do not protrude out of the shoe, thus enabling the existence of the sock not to be easily recognized by another person and preventing the sock from adversely affecting the aesthetic impression centered on the shoe.
  • the ankle connecting portion is knitted with a width dimension such that the ankle connecting portion is hidden behind the ankle and invisible from a front side of the foot in the worn state.
  • the ankle connecting portion located between the body portion and the heel portion of the sock is knitted with the width dimension that fits the ankle connecting portion to the back side of the ankle in the worn state, and is hidden behind the ankle to be invisible from the front side of the foot. This enables the sock to be further hard to see in the foot when the shoe is worn, and to be worn without making another person aware of the existence of the sock while ensuring difficulty of slipping off, so that the sock does not impair the aesthetic impression based on the shoe.
  • the ankle connecting portion is knitted in a different knitting method from that for a knitted fabric of the other portions of the sock as the knitted fabric that causes a stronger elastic contraction force in a course direction, and is in a state of the knitted fabric being more shrunk in the course direction with respect to the other portions of the sock.
  • the ankle connecting portion is knitted in a different knitting method from that for the other portions of the sock, wherein the knitted fabric of the ankle connecting portion causes the stronger elastic contraction force in a circumferential direction compared to the knitted fabric of the other portions of the sock to be more shrunk in the circumferential direction than the knitted fabric of the other portions of the sock.
  • This reduces the width dimension of the ankle connecting portion thus enabling the width dimension of the ankle connecting portion to be surely suppressed to such a width dimension that fits the ankle connecting portion to the back side of the ankle.
  • This enables the sock to be hard to see, and to be worn without making another person aware of the existence of the sock while ensuring difficulty of slipping off, preventing the sock from impairing the impression of wearing shoes on bare feet.
  • the toe portion, the foot connecting portion, the heel portion, the ankle connecting portion, and the body portion are knitted to include at least one continuous common yarn in their knitted fabrics, and the ankle connecting portion is knitted by inserting a predetermined insertion yarn having larger elasticity than that of the common yarn while continuously inserting the insertion yarn in a course direction, and more shrinks in the course direction by an elastic force of the insertion yarn compared to other portions of the sock.
  • this sock is knitted to include the continuous common yarn in the knitted fabrics of the respective portions of the sock, and in particular, the ankle connecting portion is knitted by inserting the insertion yarn having larger elasticity than that of the common yarn to more shrink in a circumferential direction by the elastic force of the insertion yarn compared to the other portions of the sock.
  • This enables the sock to be hard to see, and to be worn without making another person aware of the existence of the sock while ensuring difficulty of slipping off, preventing the sock from impairing the impression of wearing shoes on bare feet.

  • the toe portion 11 is knitted into a bag shape corresponding to the shape of the toe of the foot, and can cover the toe of the foot in the worn state.
  • the bag-shaped knitted fabric forming the toe portion 11 is knitted by a known knitting method in which a knitted fabric bulging in a bag shape is obtained by using a predetermined partial area set in advance, such as a half circumference instead of the entire circumference of a cylinder 50 of a circular knitting machine, and knitting while reducing and increasing the number of stitches to form a gore line on the side in the forward and reverse reciprocating rotational motion of the cylinder 50 .
