Description

  The present invention relates to a sock, and more particularly to a five-finger sock that allows a person with a large toe or a long toe to wear comfortably for a long time without feeling a sense of inconvenience.

  Socks are used for the purpose of protecting the feet and keeping warm, but normal socks are knitted in a generally cylindrical shape from the sock body to the toe, so it is difficult for moisture between adjacent toes to escape and diseases such as athlete's foot Is concerned.

  On the other hand, a sock (hereinafter referred to as a five-finger sock) in which a finger pouch for separately inserting five fingers into the toe portion of the sock has been proposed (Patent Document 1). In this five-finger socks, each toe is wrapped by a finger-bag part, so that it has the advantage that moisture easily escapes. However, the conventional five-finger socks have the same knitting structure as a glove, that is, flat knitting Since it was knitted, the elasticity of each finger bag part of five fingers was poor.

  By the way, considering the shape and size of the human toes, the shape and size of the human toes are not uniform, and the toes are extremely thick or thin, or the middle toes are extremely long. In conventional five-finger socks knitted with flat knitted finger bags, the finger bags do not match the size and shape of the toes and are sometimes cramped and difficult to wear.

  On the other hand, a five-finger sock (Patent Document 2), or a finger pouch portion, in which a finger pouch portion is knitted thickly with a coarse stitch by adding elastic yarn and a back yarn having a small elongation to the front yarn, and the finger pouch portion is easily stretched. Has been proposed with a five-finger sock (Patent Document 3) in which the knitted fabric is knitted with tuck knitting and the finger bag portion is easily stretched.

  However, in the five-finger socks described in Patent Documents 2 and 3, since the finger pouch portion is knitted thickly, when the socks are put on, a sense of incongruity may be felt. In particular, the sense of toes is very sensitive, and if the above-mentioned feeling of incongruity is felt for a long time, it may be very tired.

  In view of such problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a five-finger socks that can reduce the sense of incongruity while ensuring the elasticity of the finger bag portion.

  The sock according to the present invention is a sock obtained by knitting a sock body and a toe portion with knitting yarn or knitting yarn and an elastic yarn, and five finger pouch portions into which five fingers of the foot are placed are placed on the toe portion. A knitting structure in which each of the five finger pouch portions is knitted alternately with one or two flat knitting and one or two tuck knitting in the course direction. It is characterized by becoming.

  Tuck knitting is not to make a certain stitch when knitting a fabric, but to make a stitch together when knitting the next course, so that the stitch is not escaped from the knitting needle. This is a structure in which a new stitch is formed by holding the stitch together with, for example, forming a stitch by the next yarn feeding and simultaneously pulling out two stitches.

  The number of times to tack (number of tacks) is usually 1 to 2 times, but can be continued 5 to 6 times. However, as the number of tacks increases, the climax of the tacked part increases, and it is easy to feel uncomfortable, so that the number of tacks is preferably about 1 to 4 times. Tack knitting is applied for various purposes, and is used for making a transparent stitch, raising a knitted fabric, thickening a knitted fabric, and creating a pattern or pattern using colored yarn.

  One of the features of the present invention is that the finger bag portion of the toe has a knitted structure in which flat stitches and tuck stitches are alternately arranged. As a result, because of the characteristic of tack knitting that the stretchability in the machine direction and the transverse direction is larger than that of flat knitting, a large elongation can be obtained compared to the case of a knitting structure of only flat knitting. The bag part is easy to stretch according to the shape and size of human toes, and there is little cramped feeling of comfort and it can be worn easily.

  In addition, there is a thickness compared to the case where the entire finger pouch portion of the toe is made into a flat knitted structure, but since it is thinner than the case where the entire finger pouch portion of the toe is made into a tuck knitted structure, socks are worn. There is no sense of incongruity in the finger bag, and there is little fatigue even if you keep wearing socks for a long time.

  Here, the combination of 1st or 2nd flat knitting and 1st or 2nd tuck knitting alternately is the combination of 3 or more flat knitting and 1st or 2nd tuck knitting. In the case of the combination of 1st or 2nd flat knitting and 3rd or more tuck knitting, it is difficult to wear for those who have little extension of the finger pouch and those who have extremely large toes and middle fingers. This is because the bag portion becomes too thick, and there may be a feeling of tingling that causes fatigue when worn for a long time.

Specifically, the flat knitted stitches and the tucked knitted stitches of each finger bag portion may be 1: 1, 2: 1, 2: 2 or 1: 2 .

  The knitting structure of the sock body is not particularly limited, but it can be knitted by plain knitting as in the conventional case.

  The material of the knitting yarn is not particularly limited, and knitting yarn used for socks such as cotton yarn, cotton acrylic blended yarn, wool yarn, wool acrylic blended yarn, silk yarn, silk acrylic blended yarn, hemp yarn, hemp acrylic blended yarn, nylon yarn, etc. Can be used. As the elastic yarn, rubber yarn, nylon yarn, polyester yarn, polyurethane covered yarn, and core yarn can be used.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on specific examples shown in the drawings. 1 to 3 show a preferred embodiment of a sock according to the present invention. The sock is composed of a sock body 10 and a toe part 20, and the sock body 10 is composed of a cuff part 11, a leg part 12, an instep part 13, a sole part 14, and a heel part 15.

  The sock body 10 includes a knitting yarn 30, for example, a cotton acrylic blended yarn and an elastic yarn 31, for example, a covered yarn made of polyurethane and covered with polyester, and is covered with polyester and covered with a cuff portion 11 to an instep portion 13 and a foot. The bottom portion 14 is knitted in a cylindrical shape toward the distal end side, and five finger pouch portions 21 to 25 are knitted on the toe portion 20 in a size and shape corresponding to the size and shape of the toes. Each of the finger bag portions 21 to 25 uses a knitting yarn 30, for example, a cotton acrylic blended yarn and an elastic yarn 31, for example, a covered yarn made of polyurethane and covered with polyester. The knitting structure is formed by alternately knitting one stitch T in the course direction.

  Since the tuck knitting structure is tucked in the wale direction, the stretchability in the vertical and horizontal directions is greater than that of the flat knitting structure. In the sock of this example, the finger bag portions 21 to 25 are knitted structures in which tuck knitting and flat knitting are alternately knitted 1: 1, and the number of tuck knitting is set once per step in the wale direction. Therefore, compared to the case of a knitting structure with only flat knitting, large elongation in the vertical and horizontal directions is obtained, and it grows moderately according to the shape and size of human toes and can be worn easily without feeling cramped. be able to.

  Further, the finger bag portions 21 to 25 of the toe 20 are thicker than the case where the whole is a flat knitted structure, but compared to the case where the entire finger bag parts 21 to 25 of the toe 20 are a tuck knitted structure. Because it is thin and does not differ greatly from flat knitting, it is less likely to feel uncomfortable when you wear socks, and you will not feel much fatigue even if you keep wearing socks for a long time.

  In the above example, the finger pouch portions 21 to 25 are knitted structures in which tuck knitting and flat knitting are alternately knitted 1: 1, but this tuck knitting and flat knitting are the sex of the person who wears socks. Depending on age, physique, etc., it may be knitted at a ratio of 1: 2, 2: 1, 2: 2, and the same effects are obtained.

  In addition, the number of tacks in tuck knitting may be from 2 to 6 times. For example, in the case of delicate and weak knitting yarns such as silk thread, even if the number of tacks is 6 times, there is little feeling of tingling, and the tucked part Swells and becomes thicker and reinforces the knitting yarn, so that the tear of the finger pouch portion can be reduced.

It is a schematic perspective view which shows one example of the sock which concerns on this invention. It is a principal part enlarged plan view of FIG. It is a figure which shows the example of a knitting structure | tissue.
