  • a problem encountered by many women is that many of the fashionable footwear are uncomfortable or ill fitting and this causes foot injuries or pain. This can often lead to formation of corns, bunions, or blisters or calluses on the foot of the wearer.
  • the present invention may have application to other types of clothing , such as for example, head protection to be worn inside crash helmets, or protective clothing for use in sports or other activities where the wearer might incur injury or damage due to an item of outerwear impacting on, or rubbing against, the skin of the wearer, or baby's clothing or children's clothing where it is desired to provide protection against the baby or child being knocked or struck by objects.
  • other types of clothing such as for example, head protection to be worn inside crash helmets, or protective clothing for use in sports or other activities where the wearer might incur injury or damage due to an item of outerwear impacting on, or rubbing against, the skin of the wearer, or baby's clothing or children's clothing where it is desired to provide protection against the baby or child being knocked or struck by objects.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an item of clothing with one or more integral patches located at regions on the clothing where rubbing or an impact is likely to occur that may cause discomfort or injury to the wearer.
  • clothing having one or more regions provided with patches in the form of corresponding complementary shaped confronting flexible membranes located on the inside and the outside surfaces of the clothing.
  • the patches are provided at one or more regions corresponding to the ball of a foot, the underside of the heel of a foot, the back of the heel of a foot, the top of a foot of a person, a region adjacent the joint of the big toe of a foot of a person, or a region adjacent the joint of the small toe of a foot of a person.
  • the patches are provided at one or more regions corresponding the front, back, and one or more sides of the legs, arms, torso, or neck or on the head of a person.
  • the membrane is a thermoplastic elastomer, but it could be made of any thin plastics membrane such as rubber, silicone, Polyvinylchloride (PVC) or a plastisol that is not an allergen to the wearer.
  • each of the membranes is 0.1mm to 0.15mm thick.
  • the membranes may be of substantially uniform thickness or could taper at the edges so as to reduce discomfort due to the ridge.
  • a method making clothing comprising the step of providing pairs of complementary shaped patches for fixing inside and outside the clothing and fixing the patches to the inside and outside surfaces of the clothing hosiery so that they confront each other.
  • the method of fixing the patches to the clothing are many and varied, and include adhesively bonding, stitching, heat sealing, heat welding , ultrasonically welding and high frequency welding the membranes to the inside and outside surfaces of the hosiery.
  • the membranes may be formed in situ on the inside and outside of the hosiery by a plastics moulding or casting process.

  • the hosiery 10 has four regions 12, 14, 16, 18 at which complementary shaped patches 20, in the form of very thin membranes, are applied to the inside and outside surfaces of the stocking.
  • the regions 12 to 16 correspond to the regions where rubbing or pain from pressure often occur on the ball of the foot of the intended wearer of the hosiery, the back of the heel, the region under the heel, and a region on top side of the foot of the wearer. If desired further regions of the hosiery (not shown) may be provided with similar patches 20, such as in the outer region of a person's foot adjacent the joint of the small toe, or at the joint of a person's large toe (where bunions or corns are often formed).
  • Each patch 20 is in the form of very thin membrane 20 that is applied to or formed on the inside and outside surfaces of the stocking, and is typically in the range of 0.1mm to 5.0mm thick, and is preferably in the range of between 0.1 to 0.15mm thick.
  • the membranes are made of a flexible, transparent or translucent, thermoplastic elastomer.
  • the membrane material is one that is safe on the skin of the wearer and is preferably a non-allergic material of medical grade that will not cause allergic reactions to the wearer of the hosiery.
  • the membranes are preferably flexible enough so as to allow the stocking to be stretched over the foot of the wearer and are preferably porous or foraminate to allow the wearer's foot to breathe, but need not be.
  • the membranes 20 may be of uniform thickness or preferably have tapering edges to minimize discomfort of a perceivable ridge.

  • the patches 20 may be preformed and adhesively bonded, stitched, welded, or fused, on to the hosiery.
  • the welding method may be an ultrasonic, or high frequency plastics welding process, or a heat-sealing process, or other plastics joining processes.
  • the patches may be spot welded or welded around the whole or part of the periphery of the patch.
  • the patches 20 may be formed in situ from a mouldable material or a material that can be die cast and formed on to the inside and outside surfaces of the garment.
  • the patches may be spray deposited onto the surfaces of the garment.
  • an internal former in the shape of a human foot is made with recesses located in the regions 12 to 16 where the patches are required and sprues to enable mouldable membrane materials to be fed to the recesses.
  • One or more outer mould plates are provided that have corresponding recesses confronting those on the internal former, and sprues for supplying mouldable membrane materials to the recesses in the outer mould plate or plates.
  • the item of hosiery to which the patches 20 are to be fixed is pulled over the internal former, and the one or more outer mould plates are placed in contact with the hosiery to clamp it between the inner and outer moulds.
  • Mouldable membrane material is supplied under pressure to the recesses in the inner former and outer mould plates to form the patches simultaneously on the inside and outside surfaces of the hosiery.
  • the inner former and outer mould plates are separated and the item of hosiery removed from the inner former.
  • An alternative method of forming the patches 20 on the inside and outside surfaces of the hosiery 10 is to heat-seal or heat-bond the patches 20 by placing a heated platen with a patch positioned where it is required inside the hosiery and a patch 20 on an external heated platen positioned where it is desired to fix the outer patch 20.
  • the two patches 20 with the hosiery material between them are then sandwiched and squeezed between heated platens to fuse the patches 20 to the inside and outside surfaces of the hosiery 10.
