Abstract

This knitted tubular foot and/or leg wear comprising a foot part and a leg part (13) comprising an upper edge with no welt. It is held up by two helical strips (20, 20') on the leg part of the garment where the material of the knit exhibits greater resistance to elongation than in the surrounding regions, this being achieved by a different form of knitting at the site of the strips. It comprises at least one massage region, particularly around the heel, near the inside of the ankle and/or the outside of the ankle, with a knitted strip (24) in the form of a loop surrounding the heel and massage reliefs (25). A massage region is also provided under the instep where the foot does not touch the ground.

Description

Article tricoté chaussant, notamment mi-bas relaxants Knitted article of footwear, particularly relaxing knee socks
L'invention concerne un article tricoté chaussant du type bas ou chaussette, mais plus particulièrement du type mi-bas.The invention relates to a knitted article footwear of the type down or sock, but more particularly the type down.
Il est connu d'intégrer à un article chaussant tricoté sur métier circulaire des éléments en relief disposés notamment au niveau de la semelle pour apporter un certain confort au pied. Ces éléments peuvent être intégrés par tricotage, comme dans le document EP 0 845 553 ou bien rapportés sous forme de petites saillies comme dans EP 0 348 023 ou de coussinets comme dans FR 2 848 071.It is known to incorporate in a footwear item knitted on circular loom elements in relief arranged in particular at the sole to provide some comfort to the foot. These elements can be integrated by knitting, as in EP 0 845 553 or reported in the form of small projections as in EP 0 348 023 or pads as in FR 2 848 071.
Il est connu par les documents US 2 514 108, WO 2005/000047, DE 199 38 764, EP 1 079 017, de maintenir en place le bord supérieur d'un article chaussant tricoté, en prévoyant des zones anti-glissement, avantageusement réalisées par des reliefs réalisés en une matière telle qu'un silicone, ce qui permet de remplacer le bord-côte épais qu'on a pu connaître dans l'art antérieur pour résister au glissement et qui a pour inconvénient de couper la circulation.It is known from documents US Pat. No. 2,514,108, WO 2005/000047, DE 199 38 764 and EP 1 079 017, to hold in place the upper edge of a knitted article of footwear, by providing anti-slip zones, advantageously made by reliefs made of a material such as a silicone, which makes it possible to replace the thick edge-coast that may have been known in the prior art to resist slippage and which has the disadvantage of cutting off the circulation.
L'invention vise à améliorer la tenue de la partie montante des articles chaussants et aussi à améliorer encore les effets relaxants d'un article chaussant tricoté, et notamment à mettre à profit les enseignements de la réflexologie.The invention aims to improve the holding of the rising portion of footwear and also to further improve the relaxing effects of a knitted footwear, and in particular to take advantage of the teachings of reflexology.
L'invention atteint son but grâce à un article chaussant tubulaire tricoté, comprenant une partie de pied et une partie montante comportant un bord supérieur résistant au glissement, caractérisé par deux bandes hélicoïdales croisées sur la partie montante de l'article où le tricot présente localement une résistance à l'étirement plus élevée que dans les régions voisines, chaque bande formant sur la partie montante sensiblement une spire ou moins d'une spire. Ces bandes hélicoïdales, avantageusement limitées à deux, favorisent à la fois un bon maintien de la partie montante de l'article et favorisent aussi la circulation et le massage dans cette partie de jambe.The invention achieves its purpose by means of a knitted tubular footwear article, comprising a foot part and a rising part comprising a sliding-resistant upper edge, characterized by two crossed helical strips on the rising part of the article where the knit is locally present. a higher resistance to stretching than in neighboring regions, each band forming on the rising part substantially one turn or less of a turn. These helical strips, advantageously limited to two, promote both a good maintenance of the rising part of the article and also promote the circulation and massage in this part of the leg.
Les deux bandes hélicoïdales se croisent avantageusement symétriquement sur la partie montante de la jambe, à l'avant de celle-ci. Du fait que chaque bande ne présente qu'une spire d'enroulement au maximum, ces bandes ont un angle d'enroulement relativement grand par rapport à l'horizontale, et elle exercent une action prépondérante dans la direction verticale mais relativement faible dans la direction horizontale, au contraire par exemple de bas de contention tel que ceux connus par le document US 6 311 334 dont les lignes diagonales dessinent de nombreux losanges et qui, tant par leur nombre que par leur disposition rapprochée et relativement inclinée sur l'horizontale, induisent une contention circonférentielle importante. Selon l'invention, la spire préférée est avantageusement comprise entre un tour complet et un demi-tour. Cet enroulement n'est pas gênant au porter, mais procure au contraire un léger massage, et surtout donne un certain maintien à la partie montante de l'article.The two helical strips advantageously cross each other symmetrically on the rising part of the leg, in front of it. Because each strip has only one winding turn at a maximum, these bands have a relatively large winding angle relative to the horizontal, and they exert a predominant action in the vertical direction but relatively low in the direction horizontal, unlike for example compression stockings such as those known from US 6 311 334 whose diagonal lines draw many diamonds and which, both in their number and by their close arrangement and relatively inclined to the horizontal, induce significant circumferential restraint. According to the invention, the preferred turn is advantageously between one complete turn and one half turn. This winding is not awkward to wear, but gives on the contrary a light massage, and especially gives some support to the rising part of the article.
Avantageusement, la résistance locale plus élevée à l'étirement au sein des bandes est obtenue par une différence de tricotage à l'endroit desdites bandes. Le métier cylindrique qui sert à la fabrication est réglé pour modifier la nature et/ou la dimension des mailles dans cette zone de manière connue pour augmenter cette résistance, notamment grâce à des mailles plus serrées à l'endroit des bandes.Advantageously, the higher local resistance to stretching within the bands is obtained by a difference in knitting at the location of said bands. The cylindrical loom that is used in the manufacture is set to modify the nature and / or the size of the meshes in this zone in a manner known to increase this resistance, in particular by means of tighter meshes at the location of the belts.
Il est possible aussi que les bandes comportent un apport de matière, définissant à lui seul ou en en complément de la différence de tricotage, l'augmentation localisée de la résistance. Il peut s'agir par exemple d'une enduction de matière, notamment une matière élastique du type silicone, ou de collage de bandes additionnelles.It is also possible that the strips include a contribution of material, defining alone or in addition to the difference in knitting, the localized increase in resistance. It may be for example a coating of material, in particular an elastic material of the silicone type, or of bonding additional strips.
Par ailleurs, le maintien peut être favorisé par l'utilisation d'une combinaison de fils plats et textures avec guipage sur élasthanne, donnant une rigidité dans le sens vertical. On peut aussi utiliser, au moins sur une partie de la hauteur, de Pélasthanne nu.Moreover, the maintenance can be promoted by the use of a combination of flat and textured yarns with elastane wrapping, giving rigidity in the vertical direction. One can also use, at least on a part of the height, of bare elastane.
Avantageusement, le bord supérieur est dépourvu de bord-côte (ou de revers ou de toute autre surépaisseur continue de contention au niveau du bord supérieur). L'absence de bord-côte supprime la gêne généralement ressentie au porter et améliore la circulation sanguine. L'article ainsi conçu permet d'éviter plus facilement la sensation de «jambes lourdes ».Advantageously, the upper edge is devoid of edge-rib (or lapel or any other continuous allowance for compression at the upper edge). The absence of ribbing eliminates the discomfort generally felt when wearing and improves blood circulation. The article thus designed makes it easier to avoid the sensation of "heavy legs".
Cette absence de bord-côte est rendue possible par le système de deux bandes hélicoïdales sur la partie montante de l'article, associé de préférence à des zones anti-glissement localisées. Celles-ci, prévues près du bord supérieur de la partie montante, sont de préférence constituées par des dépôts discrets de matière anti-glissement telle qu'un silicone à coefficient de frottement élevé.This lack of edge-coast is made possible by the system of two helical strips on the rising portion of the article, preferably associated with localized anti-slip areas. These, provided near the upper edge of the rising portion, are preferably constituted by discrete deposits of anti-slip material such as a silicone with a high coefficient of friction.
D'une manière particulièrement avantageuse, l'article de l'invention comprend au moins une zone de massage (en plus de l'effet de massage obtenu par les bandes hélicoïdales).In a particularly advantageous manner, the article of the invention comprises at least one massage zone (in addition to the massage effect obtained by the helical strips).
Il est notamment prévu de préférence au moins une zone de massage autour du talon, au niveau de la malléole interne et/ou externe.In particular, there is preferably at least one massage zone around the heel, at the level of the internal and / or external malleolus.
Ladite zone de massage comprend avantageusement une bande tricotée analogue aux bandes hélicoïdales, de préférence sous forme d'une boucle entourant le talon. Cette bande tricotée en forme de boucle a avantageusement sa partie supérieure contiguë à l'extrémité basse du système de bandes hélicoïdales, ou confondue avec cette extrémité, de manière que ces bandes hélicoïdales exercent, lors de la marche, une traction sur la boucle et favorisent un léger massage de cette zone.Said massage zone advantageously comprises a knitted strip similar to the helical strips, preferably in the form of a loop surrounding the heel. This loop-shaped knitted band advantageously has its upper part contiguous to the lower end of the helical strip system, or merged with this end, so that these helical strips exert, during walking, traction on the buckle and favor a light massage of this area.
Cette zone de massage autour du talon (et le cas échéant les autres zones de massage éventuelles, par exemple dans la zone plantaire) comprend de préférence des reliefs de massage, formés à l'extérieur ou mieux à l'intérieur de l'article, par exemple par des dépôts discrets de silicone non adhésif éventuellement chargé de produits destinés à en changer la consistance et/ou les propriétés. D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description suivante, en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :This massage zone around the heel (and optionally any other massage areas, for example in the plantar area) preferably comprises massage reliefs, formed outside or better inside the article, for example by discrete deposits of non-adhesive silicone optionally loaded with products intended to change the consistency and / or properties. Other features and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the following description, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
-les figures 1 et 2 sont des vues latérales, respectivement côté extérieur et côté intérieur de la jambe, d'un mi-bas conforme à l'invention.FIGS. 1 and 2 are side views, respectively outer side and inner side of the leg, of a knee-length according to the invention.
Le mi-bas 10 porté sur la jambe 11 comporte une partie de pied 12, qui enveloppe le pied jusqu'à la cheville, et une partie montante de jambe 13 qui part de la cheville et couvre le mollet ; les deux parties 12, 13 sont tricotées d'un seul tenant de manière connue sur un métier circulaire.The mid-bottom 10 worn on the leg 11 includes a foot portion 12, which surrounds the foot to the ankle, and a rising leg portion 13 which extends from the ankle and covers the calf; the two parts 12, 13 are knitted integrally in a known manner on a circular loom.
La partie de pied 12 va de la pointe 14, en tricot renforcé de manière usuelle, à la partie de talon 15 et à la cheville 16. Elle peut comporter dans sa partie inférieure 17 des reliefs 18 dont le nombre, la taille, l'épaisseur, la consistance (molle ou ferme), la composition et la disposition sont choisis en fonction des effets voulus, notamment en rapport avec l'enseignement de la réflexologie à ce sujet. Les reliefs 18 peuvent notamment s'étendre dans des zones qui ne limitent pas leur action à la seule plante des pieds en contact avec le sol, mais peuvent concerner les côtés de la plante ou des pieds non en contact avec le sol. Dans le mode de réalisation qui a été représenté, ces reliefs 18 s'étendent seulement sous la partie plantaire, et ne sont donc visible que du côté intérieur (fig.2).The foot portion 12 goes from the tip 14, in the usual reinforced knit, to the heel portion 15 and the ankle 16. It may comprise in its lower part 17 reliefs 18 whose number, size, thickness, consistency (soft or firm), composition and layout are chosen according to the desired effects, especially in relation to the teaching of reflexology on this subject. The reliefs 18 may in particular extend in areas that do not limit their action to the soles of the feet in contact with the ground, but may relate to the sides of the plant or feet not in contact with the ground. In the embodiment that has been shown, these reliefs 18 extend only under the plantar part, and are therefore visible only on the inside (FIG.
Selon l'invention, la partie montante 13 du mi-bas 10, qui va de la cheville 16 au bord supérieur 19, comprend au moins deux, et de préférence deux seulement, bandes 20 s 'enroulant hélicoïdalement, réalisée au cours du tricotage tubulaire par un choix de mailles différentes du reste de la partie montante, de manière qu'elles présentent localement une résistance à l'allongement supérieure à celle des régions voisines. Il s'agit avantageusement de deux bandes croisées symétriques 20 et 20', d'un demi- centimètre à deux ou trois centimètres de largeur. Chacune des deux bandes 20 ou 20' fait sensiblement une spire incomplète ou presque complète sur la hauteur de la partie montante. Les bandes 20 et 20' partent avantageusement de l'arrière de la cheville et peuvent rejoindre le bord 19 en formant une bande demi-annulaire 26 disposée vers l'arrière du mi-bas et joignant les extrémités des bandes 20 et 20'. La traction procurée par les bandes 20, 20' contribue à maintenir la partie montante du mi-bas mais est suffisamment répartie et faible pour ne pas faire sentir d'effets négatifs au porter. Du fait de l'angle d'inclinaison des bandes sur l'horizontale, de préférence supérieur à 45° ou à 60°, les effets de la résistance à l'étirement induite par les bandes ont une forte composante verticale. Il est possible d'améliorer encore le confort du mi-bas en supprimant le traditionnel bord-côte et en prévoyant sur la face intérieure du mi-bas 10, au voisinage de son bord supérieur 19, des zones anti-glissement localisées 21, avantageusement discrètes (c'est-à-dire disjointes) et réparties sur le tour de jambe ou plus spécifiquement sur l'arrière comme représenté. Ces zones peuvent être réalisées de manière connue en soi par une enduction d'un silicone choisi pour son coefficient élevé de frottement. On peut employer par exemple le procédé décrit dans le document WO 2006/011168. En alternative ou en complément à cette technique, il est possible de prévoir au voisinage du bord supérieur 19, de tricoter de l'élasthanne nu sur une certaine hauteur, ce qui contribue à donner une extension et une force de rappel minimum à cette région.According to the invention, the rising portion 13 of the knee 10, which goes from the ankle 16 to the upper edge 19, comprises at least two, and preferably only two, strips 20 wound helically, made during tubular knitting. by a choice of meshes different from the rest of the rising part, so that they have locally resistance to elongation greater than that of neighboring regions. It is advantageously two symmetrical crossed strips 20 and 20 ', from one half centimeter to two or three centimeters in width. Each of the two strips 20 or 20 'is substantially an incomplete or almost complete turn on the height of the rising part. The strips 20 and 20 'advantageously leave behind the ankle and can join the edge 19 forming a half-annular band 26 disposed towards the rear of the knee and joining the ends of the strips 20 and 20'. The traction provided by the strips 20, 20 'helps to maintain the upward portion of the knee but is sufficiently distributed and weak to not cause any negative effects to wear. Due to the angle of inclination of the bands on the horizontal, preferably greater than 45 ° or 60 °, the effects of the stretching resistance induced by the bands have a strong vertical component. It is possible to further improve the mid-low comfort by eliminating the traditional edge-coast and by providing on the inner face of the mid-bottom 10, in the vicinity of its upper edge 19, localized anti-slip zones 21, advantageously discrete (that is to say disjointed) and distributed on the leg turn or more specifically on the back as shown. These zones may be made in a manner known per se by a coating of a silicone chosen for its high coefficient of friction. For example, the method described in WO 2006/011168 can be used. Alternatively or in addition to this technique, it is possible to provide in the vicinity of the upper edge 19, to knit naked elastane over a certain height, which contributes to give an extension and a minimum restoring force to this region.
Selon un aspect très avantageux de l'invention, il est prévu dans la zone entourant le talon 15, dans la région des malléoles interne 22 et/ou externe, une zone de massage. Celle-ci est avantageusement constituée par des reliefs disposés sur le mi-bas et/ou par une zone de contention entourant le talon. Cette zone de contention est avantageusement réalisée comme les bandes 20, 20' sous forme d'une bande en boucle 24 qui peut venir prolonger les bandes 20 et 20' sous la cheville. Des reliefs 25 sont disposés de préférence sur cette bande 24, à l'extérieur ou préférablement à l'intérieur du mi-bas. Là encore, le nombre, la taille, l'épaisseur, la consistance, la composition et la disposition des reliefs 25 sont choisis en fonction des effets voulus. Les reliefs 25 sont avantageusement réalisés en silicone non adhésif. Les bandes 20 et 20' ont un effet de traction entre le bord supérieur 19 et l'anneau 24, ce qui induit un mouvement sur l'anneau 24 et crée un léger massage lors de la marche.According to a very advantageous aspect of the invention, there is provided in the area surrounding the heel 15, in the region of the medial malleolus 22 and / or external, a massage zone. This is advantageously constituted by reliefs arranged on the knee and / or by a compression zone surrounding the heel. This contention zone is advantageously made as the strips 20, 20 'in the form of a loop band 24 which can extend the strips 20 and 20' under the ankle. Reliefs 25 are preferably arranged on this band 24, outside or preferably inside the mid-bottom. Again, the number, size, thickness, consistency, composition and layout reliefs 25 are chosen according to the desired effects. The reliefs 25 are advantageously made of non-adhesive silicone. The strips 20 and 20 'have a traction effect between the upper edge 19 and the ring 24, which induces a movement on the ring 24 and creates a light massage when walking.
L'invention a été décrite en l'illustrant avec un mi-bas, mais elle pourrait s'appliquer à d'autres articles textiles chaussants analogues, tels que bas, chaussettes, protège-bas. The invention has been described by illustrating it with a knee-high, but it could be applied to other similar footwear textile articles, such as stockings, socks, low-socks.
