BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to socks, and more particularly to socks obtained by tubular knitting with a sock knitting machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, the sock 10 shown in FIG. 4 is tubular knitted from the foot entrance to the toe 12, and then is attached to the end of the opening formed on the instep of the sock-shaped tubular knitted part 11. Can be obtained. In FIG. 4, the portion where the opening is attached is shown as attachment 14.
The sock 10 shown in FIG. 4 is an industrial sock knitting machine, for example, a rotating operation in which a needle hook having a plurality of knitting needles arranged around it is rotated and knitted in a fixed direction, and the needle hook is moved in the forward and reverse directions. Are knitted using a circular knitting machine having both a rotating operation for alternately rotating and knitting. As shown in FIG. 6 (a), such a knitting needle is configured such that the other end of the spatula 54 that opens and closes the collar 52 provided at the tip is rotated around a nail 56 provided at the neck of the collar 52. It is pivotally mounted. Further, as shown in FIG. 6B, the needle hook is formed with a plurality of longitudinal grooves 64, 46,... On the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical member 62, and each longitudinal groove 64 is formed in FIG. Is inserted so as to be movable up and down. When the needle hook 60 is rotated in a certain direction, the knitting needles 50 are sequentially lifted at predetermined positions to perform a knitting operation.
[0003]
A conventional toe portion of a sock that is knitted by a circular knitting machine including a knitting needle 50 and a needle hook 60 shown in FIG. 6 is knitted by the procedure shown in FIG.
First, the needle hook 50 is rotated in a certain direction to knit the tubular knitting portion 11 having a predetermined length, and then the needle hook 60 is rotated to knit the toe portion 102 of the sock 100. When knitting the toe portion 102, after knitting to the AB position in FIG. 5 (c) showing the sole 100a of the socks, the knitting needles involved in the knitting while rotating the needle hook 60 in the forward and reverse directions The number of stitches of 50 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the number of stitches involved in knitting) is sequentially decreased and knitted to the CD position.
Subsequently, after knitting to the CD position shown in FIG. 5, the number of stitches involved in the knitting while rotating the needle hook 60 in the forward and reverse directions to the AB position in FIG. 5 (a) showing the upper side 100 b under the socks. The toe portion 102 can be formed by knitting with increasing the sequentially.
[0004]
Further, after knitting to the AB position shown in FIG. 5 (a), it is formed on the upper side 100b of the sock-shaped tubular knitting portion 11 while keeping the number of needles involved in the knitting of the needle hook 60 at a predetermined number. The braided portion 14 is knitted to the opening.
Here, at the end edges of the sole side 100a and the instep side 100b of the toe portion 12, connecting lines AC and BD are formed in which a part of the loop forming each side is entangled with each other. The connecting lines AC and BD are also rotation ends when the needle hook 60 is rotated in the forward direction or the reverse direction.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The sock 100 shown in FIG. 5 is such that when the toe portion 102 is knitted by sequentially increasing / decreasing the number of needles involved in knitting while rotating the needle hook 60 of the circular knitting machine in the forward / reverse direction, Since the number is substantially the same, the knitting direction of the circular knitting machine is constant in the direction of the center line under the socks. Therefore, the toe part 102 of the obtained sock 100 is a figure formed from right and left symmetrical as seen from FIG. 5 (a) and FIG. 5 (c) and viewed from the front end side of the toe part 102. As shown to 5B, it forms in the substantially same thickness. For this reason, the sock 100 shown in FIG. 5 can be worn on both the left and right feet.
[0006]
However, in general, a human foot has an asymmetric shape in which the thumb is thicker than the other fingers and the most advanced position of the foot is located on the thumb side. For this reason, when the socks 100 of the left and right symmetrical shape and the thumb side and the little finger side shown in FIG. There is. Especially in sports where the force is applied to the thumb, the thumb may be painful during competition. Furthermore, since the shoe base is pulled by the thumb, the shoe base on the little finger side is also pulled, and a feeling of pressure is also felt on the little finger side. In this manner, the shoe base on the thumb side that is rubbed against the inner surface of the shoe while being pulled by the thumb is easily damaged.
Usually, the heel part 14 is located closer to the toe, and when the socks are worn, the heel part 14 is located between the toe and the base of the toe, and is rubbed against the heel part 14 to rub the toe. There are cases where it is easy to make edema (blister) on the surface, and improvement in appearance is also demanded.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a sock that can approximate the shape of a person's foot as much as possible and prevent giving a feeling of pressure to the thumb side when worn.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  As a result of repeated examinations to solve the above problems, the present inventors put on socks so that the shape of the toe portion of the socks approximates the shape of the foot of a person whose thumb is thicker than the other fingers, It has been found that the feeling of pressure on the thumb can be alleviated by knitting the knitting portion for increasing the thickness on the thumb side of the toe portion into which the thumb is inserted, so that the feeling of pressure on the thumb can be alleviated.
  That is, the present invention is obtained by tubular knitting with a sock knitting machine.Of the asymmetrical shape where the most advanced position in the toe portion is biased to the thumb side.Socks,

  The edge of the knitting portion for increasing the thickness as viewed from the side surface on the divided portion side of the other finger portion is V-shaped, and the end of the knitting portion for increasing the thickness as viewed from each side surface of the thumb portion of the toe portion By making the edge also V-shaped, the knitting portion for increasing the thickness can be easily knitted into the thumb portion and other finger portions.
  In the sock-like socks according to the present invention, a thickness increasing knitted portion knitted to the thumb portion of the toe portion forms the tip portion and both side surface portions of the thumb portion, and the thickness knitted to the other finger portions of the toe portion By forming the tip portion of the other finger portion and the side surface portion on the divided portion side by the knitting portion for increase, the feeling of pressure on the thumb and other fingers can be further alleviated when wearing a sock-like sock.
[0009]
As shown in FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (b), the conventional socks are formed symmetrically, and the thumb side into which the thumb is inserted and the little finger side into which the little finger is inserted have substantially the same thickness. A sock having a formed toe portion. When this sock is put on an asymmetrical human foot whose thumb is thicker than the other fingers, the toe portion of the sock is extended by the thumb, and the sock is imitated by the shape of the human foot. For this reason, when the socks are worn, the thumb is pressed in the direction of the other finger by the toe portion of the socks, and a feeling of pressure is felt at the same time, and at the same time, the little finger is also pressed in the direction of the thumb.
[0010]
In this respect, in the present invention, the shape of the toe part under the socks increases the thickness on the thumb side more than the little finger side of the toe part so that the thumb approximates the shape of a human foot thicker than the other fingers. The knitting portion for use is formed at the tip of the toe portion and biased toward the thumb side, and the foremost position of the toe portion is biased toward the thumb side. For this reason, the sock according to the present invention can be shaped to follow the human foot as much as possible. As a result, when the sock is worn, the toe portion of the sock presses the thumb in the other finger direction. The pressure can be reduced as much as possible, and the feeling of pressure on the thumb and little finger can be reduced.
Also, in the sock-like socks according to the present invention, the tip of the sock's toe portion is similar to the shape of the foot of a person whose thumb is thicker than other fingers. Knitting a knitting part for increasing the thickness to increase the thickness of the thumb part, and also the knitting part for increasing the thickness to increase the thickness of the other finger part at the other finger part under the socks Partly and knitted to the divided part side. For this reason, as a result of being able to form the thumb part of the socks as closely as possible to the shape of the thumb of a person's toes, etc., when a socks like a socks are worn, the feeling of pressure from the socks against the thumb or the like can be reduced.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An example of the sock according to the present invention has substantially the same shape as the sock 10 shown in FIG. 4, and FIG. 1 shows a toe portion 12 of the sock 10 for the left foot. FIG. 1A is a view as seen from the upper side 10 b of the sock 10, and FIG. 1B is a view as seen from the tip side of the toe portion 12. FIG. 1C is a view as seen from the sole side 10 a of the socks 10.
In the toe part 12 of the sock 10 shown in FIG. 1, the left side part of the toe part 12 shown in the drawing is the thumb side 16 into which the thumb is inserted, and the right side part of the toe part 12 shown in the drawing is the little finger side into which the little finger is inserted. 18.
As shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (c), the sock 10 shown in FIG. 1 is an asymmetric sock 10 in which the foremost position G of the toe portion 12 is located more biased toward the thumb side 16 than the center line X. . This shape follows the shape of a person's foot.
[0012]
Further, the toe portion 12 shown in FIG. 1 has a thickness of the toe portion 12 as apparent from a comparison between FIG. 1 (b) and FIG. 5 (b) showing the tip portion of the toe portion 102 of the conventional sock 100. The knitting portions 20a and 20b for increasing the thickness are excessively knitted, and the knitting portions 20a and 20b for increasing the thickness are knitted unevenly on the thumb side 16 of the toe portion 12. For this reason, the thickness of the thumb side 16 of the toe part 12 can be made thicker than the thickness of the little finger side 18, and the shape of the foot of a person whose thumb is thicker than the little finger can be approximated.
As shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), the toe portion 12 of the sock 10 shown in FIG. 1 forms the knitted portions 20a and 20b for increasing the thickness at the tip portion of the toe portion 12 and the side surface portion on the thumb side 16. Therefore, a further margin can be given to the thumb side, and the feeling of pressure on the thumb and little finger can be further alleviated when wearing socks.
Furthermore, by making the edges HJ and HM of the knitting portions 20a and 20b for increasing thickness viewed from the side surface of the thumb side 16 of the toe portion 12 (the direction of the arrow AA in FIG. 1B) into a V shape, The knitting portions 20a and 20b for increasing the thickness can be easily formed by a manufacturing method for socks described later.
[0013]
The socks 10 shown in FIG. 1 has the knitting direction of the sock knitting machine in the direction of the thumb side 16 so that the knitting portions 20a and 20b for increasing the thickness of the toe portion 12 are knitted toward the thumb side 16. It can be obtained by shifting and knitting.
A circular knitting machine widely used as such a sock knitting machine, that is, a needle hook [a needle shown in FIG. 6B] having a plurality of knitting needles [the same knitting needle as the knitting needle 50 shown in FIG. FIG. 1 shows a circular knitting machine having both a rotating operation for rotating and knitting the same needle hook as the hook 60 in a fixed direction and a rotating operation for alternately turning the needle hook in the forward and reverse directions. An example of knitting the sock 10 shown will be described.
[0014]
  First, the needle hook is rotated in a fixed direction to knit the tubular knitting portion 11 (FIG. 4) of a predetermined length, and then the needle hook is alternately rotated in the forward and reverse directions to knitting needles involved in the knitting. The toe part 12 under the socks is knitted by increasing or decreasing the number. The increase / decrease of the number of needles is performed when the needle hook rotating in the forward / reverse direction changes the rotation direction. When knitting the toe portion 12 shown in FIG.aAfter the knitting to the HI position shown in FIG. 1 (c), the number of knitting needles involved in the knitting (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as the number of needles) is successively reduced and knitted to the JK position. In this case, the decrease in the number of needles when the needle hook is rotated in the forward direction and the decrease in the number of needles when the needle hook is rotated in the reverse direction are substantially the same. Furthermore, when the needle hook rotates to the J position after knitting to the JK position, the number of needles is sequentially increased and knitted to the H position, and at the same time the needle hook rotates to the K position. By knitting to the L position side by sequentially decreasing the number of needles, the knitting direction can be knitted while shifting in the direction of the thumb side 16 under the sock. As a result, the knitting portion 20a for increasing the thickness can be knitted on the foot side 10a of the toe portion 12 while being biased toward the thumb side 16.
[0015]
  Next, when the needle hook rotates to the H position side,DecreaseAt the same time as knitting to the M position, and at the same time when the needle hook rotates to the L position side,increaseBy knitting up to the K position side, the knitting can be knitted while shifting the knitting direction toward the thumb side 16 under the sock. As a result, the knitting portion 20b for increasing the thickness can be knitted on the upper side 10b while being biased toward the thumb side 16. The knitting portions 20a and 20b for increasing the thickness are integrated. Thus, after knitting to the MK position, the toe portion 12 can be formed by sequentially increasing the number of needles and knitting to the HI position. In this case, the increased number of needles when the needle hook is rotated in the forward direction is substantially the same as the increased number of needles when the needle hook is rotated in the reverse direction.
[0016]
Further, after knitting up to the HI position, while maintaining the predetermined number of needles, the braided portion 14 is formed by knitting to the opening which is the final end formed on the upper side 10b under the socks.
Here, connection lines HJ, IK, KL, and HM are formed at each end edge of the portion forming the toe portion 12 by entwining and connecting a part of the loop forming the edge portion of each portion. ing. The connecting lines HJ, IK, KL, and HM are also rotation ends when the needle hook is rotated in the forward direction or the reverse direction.
Of these connecting lines, the connecting lines HJ and HM are the edges of the knitting portions 20a and 20b for increasing the thickness forming the side surface portion of the thumb side 16, and in FIG. When viewed from [direction of arrow AA in FIG. 1B], it is V-shaped.
In the description of FIG. 1 so far, “substantially the same number” means a decrease or increase in the number of needles when the needle hook rotates in the forward direction and a needle when the needle hooks rotate in the reverse direction. It means that about 10% of the number of knitting needles involved in knitting may differ between the decrease number and the increase number.
[0017]
In the toe portion 12 of the sock 10 shown in FIG. 1, the tip side G is positioned so as to be biased toward the thumb side 16, and the thumb side 16 is increased in order to increase the area of the thumb side 16 of the knitting portions 20 a and 20 b for increasing thickness. As the included angle of the connecting lines HJ and HM forming the edges of the knitting portions 20a and 20b for increasing the thickness forming the side surface portion is increased, the connecting line HJ or the connecting line IK, and the H position and the I position are set. Each inclination angle α with the straight line HI to be connected tends to be small, and the width of the toe portion 12 (interval between the leading edge G and the straight line HI) tends to be narrow.
In this regard, according to the knitting method shown in FIG. 2, the tip position G of the toe portion 12 is biased to the thumb side 16 and the width of the toe portion 12 is kept constant while the thickness of the knitting portion for increasing the thickness is kept. The area of the thumb side 16 can be enlarged.
[0018]
2 shows the toe portion 12 of the sock 10 for the left foot, FIG. 2 (a) is a view seen from the back side 10b of the sock 10, and FIG. 2 (b) is from the tip side of the toe portion 12. FIG. FIG. 2C is a view as seen from the sole side 10 a of the socks 10.
An example in which the socks shown in FIG. 2 can be knitted by the sock knitting machine and the socks shown in FIG. 2 are knitted using the circular knitting machine will be described.
First, the needle hook of the circular knitting machine is rotated in a certain direction to knit a tubular knitting portion of a predetermined length, and then the toe portion 12 is knitted by increasing or decreasing the number of needles while rotating the needle hook in the forward and reverse directions. Stand up.
At this time, after knitting to the NO position shown in FIG. 2 (c), the number of needles is sequentially decreased and the inflection points N 'and O' at which the rate of decrease in the number of needles is changed to the PQ position. Knitting. The number of decreases in the forward / reverse direction of the number of needles is substantially the same.
[0019]
Further, after knitting to the PQ position, the number of needles is sequentially increased to knit to the position of the inflection point N′O ′. Thereafter, the number of stitches is sequentially decreased and knitted to the TS position. The number of reductions in the forward and reverse directions of the number of stitches from the inflection point N′O ′ to the TS position is substantially the same, but the reduction rate is the same as that when knitting from the inflection points N ′, O ′ to the PQ position. The rate is smaller than the rate of decrease in the number of stitches.
Next, after knitting to the TS position, when the needle hook rotates to the T position side, the number of needles is increased and knitted to the N position through the inflection point N ′. By knitting to the U position by reducing the number of needles when rotating, the knitting can be knitted while shifting the knitting direction toward the thumb side 16 under the sock. As a result, the knitted portion 20a for increasing the thickness can be knitted on the sole side 10a of the toe portion 12 while being biased toward the thumb side 16. Here, at the inflection point N ′, the rate of increase in the number of needles when the needle hook rotates toward the T position is changed.
[0020]
Subsequently, after knitting to the UN position, when the needle hook rotates to the N position side, the number of needles is decreased, and the needle hook is moved to the V position through the inflection point V 'and at the same time the needle hook is moved to the U position side. As the needle rotates, the number of needles is increased and knitted to the S position, so that the knitting can be knitted while shifting the knitting direction toward the thumb side 16 under the sock. As a result, the knitting portion 20b for increasing the thickness can be knitted on the upper side 10b while being biased toward the thumb side 16. Here, at the inflection point V ′, the rate of decrease in the number of needles when the needle hook rotates toward the N position is changed. The knitting portions 20a and 20b for increasing the thickness are integrated.
In this way, after knitting to the VS position, the number of stitches is sequentially increased to the positions of the inflection points V ′ and O ′, and then the number of stitches is decreased to the WY position and further knitted. The toe portion 12 can be formed by knitting up to the NO position. The number of increase / decrease in the number of needles in the forward / reverse direction from the VS position to the NO position is substantially the same, but the rate of increase or decrease in the number of stitches is changed at the inflection points V ′ and O ′.
[0021]
Further, after knitting to the NO position, the number of needles is maintained at a predetermined number, and the braided portion 14 is formed by knitting to the opening that is the final end formed on the upper side 10b of the sock.
Here, the connecting lines NP, OQ, NT, OS, SU, which are formed by entwining and connecting a part of the loop forming the edge of each part to each end edge of the part forming the toe part 12, VN, WN, and YO are formed. Such a connecting line is also a rotation end when the needle hook is rotated in the forward direction or the reverse direction.
Of these connection lines, the connection lines NT and VN are the edges of the knitting portions 20a and 20b for increasing the thickness forming the side surface portion of the thumb side 16, and are the side surfaces of the thumb side 16 [of FIG. When viewed from the direction of arrow AA], it is substantially V-shaped.
[0022]
Further, since the connecting lines NT and VN forming the edges of the knitting portions 20a and 20b for increasing the thickness are bent outward at the inflection points N'V ', the thicknesses formed by the method shown in FIG. Compared to the increase knitting portions 20a 'and 20b' (the portion surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 2B), the areas of the thickness increasing knitting portions 20a and 20b can be formed wider and biased toward the thumb side 16.
For this reason, when the sock 10 shown in FIG. 2 is worn, the feeling of pressure on the thumb can be further reduced.
Note that “substantially the same number” in the description of FIG. 2 so far means that the number of needles decreases or increases when the needle hook rotates in the forward direction and the number of needles when the needle hook rotates in the reverse direction. This means that about 10% of the number of knitting needles involved in knitting may differ from the decrease or increase in the number.
[0023]
By the way, the socks include a sock-like sock in which a toe portion is divided into a thumb portion and other finger portions. The present invention can also be applied to such a sock-like sock.
An example of a sock-like sock according to the present invention is shown in FIG. FIG. 3 shows a toe portion of a sock-like sock 30 for the right foot. 3, FIG. 3 (a) is a view seen from the back side 30b of the sock-like socks 30, and FIG. 3 (b) is a view seen from the tip side of the toe portion. FIG. 3C is a view as seen from the sole side 30 a of the socks 30.
The toe-like sock 30 shown in FIG. 3 has a toe portion divided into a thumb portion 32 and another finger portion 34 by a dividing portion 36. The thumb portion 32 is knitted with knitting portions 32a and 32b for increasing the thickness of the thumb portion 32, and the other finger portion 34 is also used for increasing the thickness of the other finger portion 34. The knitted portions 34a and 34b are knitted so as to be biased toward the dividing portion 36 side.
[0024]
For this reason, the thumb portion 32 and the finger portion 34 of the socks-like socks 30 can be formed as closely as possible to the shape of the human toe and other finger portions, and when the socks 30 are worn, the thumbs etc. The feeling of pressure from the socks against can be reduced.
The tabi sock 30 shown in FIG. 3 forms the tip and both side portions of the thumb portion 32 by the thickness-increasing knitted portions 32 a and 32 b knitted on the thumb portion 32, and is knitted on the other finger portion 34. Since the knitted portions 34a and 34b for increasing the thickness form the tip portion of the other finger portion 34 and the side surface portion on the divided portion side, when the sock-like socks 30 are worn, the feeling of pressure from the socks against the thumb or the like is felt. Further reduction.
Further, the edges of the knitting portions 32a and 32b for increasing the thickness as viewed from both side surfaces of the thumb portion 32 (each direction of arrows BB and BB shown in FIG. 3B) are V-shaped, and other By forming the edges of the knitting portions 34a and 34b for increasing the thickness as viewed from the side surface [the direction of the arrow CC shown in FIG. The socks 30 can be easily manufactured by a manufacturing method using a knitting machine.
[0025]
An example in which the sock-like socks 30 shown in FIG. 3 can be knitted by the sock knitting machine and the socks shown in FIG. 3 are knitted using the circular knitting machine will be described.
The sock-like socks 30 shown in FIG. 3 rotate the needle hook in a certain direction to knitting the cylindrical portion 11 (FIG. 4) of a predetermined length, and then rotate the needle hook alternately in the forward and reverse directions. Thus, the thumb part 32 and the other finger part 34 can be individually knitted.
Hereinafter, a method for manufacturing a sock-like sock 30 in which the thumb part 32 is knitted and the other finger part 34 is knitted will be described.
In FIG. 3 (c), the needle hook is rotated in a certain direction, the tubular knitting portion 11 of a predetermined length is knitted and knitted to the A1 A2 position, and then the number of needles that can be knitted from the A2 position to the A3 position is reduced. Then, the thumb part 32 is knitted.
In this way, the needle hook with the reduced number of needles is rotated in the forward and reverse directions, while the number of needles is sequentially reduced and knitted to the A4 A5 position. At this time, the number of decreases in the forward / reverse direction is substantially the same.
Further, after knitting to the A4 A5 position, the number of stitches is sequentially decreased and knitting to the A6 A7 position. The number of reductions in the forward / reverse direction of the number of stitches from the A4 A5 position to the A6 A7 position is substantially the same, but at a higher rate than the reduction rate of the number of stitches when knitting from the A3 A2 position to the A4 A5 position. Reduce the number of stitches.
[0026]
After knitting to the A6 A7 position, knitting to the A4 A5 position while sequentially increasing the number of stitches. By such knitting, the knitted portion 32a for increasing the thickness of the sole side 30a can be formed. After knitting to the A4 A5 position, the knitting portion 32b for increasing the thickness of the upper side 30b can be formed by continuously knitting to the A8 A9 position while successively reducing the number of needles. The thickness increasing knitted portions 32a and 32b knitted in this way are integrated.
Further, after knitting up to the A8 A9 position, the number of stitches is sequentially increased to the A4 A5 position. Thereafter, the thumb portion 32 can be formed by knitting up to the A3 A2 position while sequentially increasing the number of needles. When knitting from the A8 A9 position to the A3 A2 position, the rate of increase in the number of stitches from the A8 A9 position to the A4 A5 position is higher than the rate of increase in the number of stitches from the A4 A5 position to the A3 A2 position.
[0027]
Next, the number of needles in the needle hook is adjusted to the number of needles that can be knitted from the A1 position to the A3 position shown in FIG. 3C, and the other finger portions 34 are knitted.
The needle hook with the adjusted number of needles is rotated in the forward and reverse directions, and the number of needles is sequentially decreased to be knitted to the B2 B3 position, and further knitted to the B4 B5 position while further reducing the number of needles. The number of decreases in the forward / reverse direction of the number of stitches from the B2 B3 position to the B4 B5 position is substantially the same, but at a higher rate than the decrease rate of the number of stitches when knitting from the A1 A3 position to the B2 B3 position. Reduce the number of stitches. At this time, the number of decreases in the forward / reverse direction is substantially the same.
Further, after knitting to the B4 B5 position, when the needle hook rotates to the B5 position side, the number of needles is increased and knitted to the B3 position. At the same time, the needle hook is rotated to the B4 position side. By reducing the number and knitting up to the position B6, the knitting direction can be shifted in the direction of the dividing portion 36 and knitted. As a result, the knitted portion 34a for increasing the thickness can be knitted on the sole side 30a so as to be biased toward the divided portion 36 side.
[0028]
B3 After knitting to the B6 position, the number of needles is decreased when the needle hook is rotated to the B6 position side and knitted to the B7 position. At the same time, the needle number is adjusted when the needle hook is rotated to the B6 position side. By increasing and knitting to the position B4, knitting is performed while shifting the knitting direction in the direction of the dividing portion 36 side. As a result, the knitted portion 34b for increasing the thickness can be knitted on the upper side 30b while being biased toward the divided portion 36. The knitting portions 34a and 34b for increasing the thickness are integrated.
Further, after knitting up to A1 A3 A2 on the upper side 30b, the braided portion 14 is formed by knitting to the opening which is the final end formed on the upper side 30b while maintaining the predetermined number of needles.
Here, each end edge of the part forming the thumb part 32 and the other finger part 34 is formed with a connecting line formed by intertwining a part of the loop forming the edge part of each part. Yes. This connecting line is also a rotation end when the needle hook is rotated in the forward direction or the reverse direction.
[0029]
Among the connecting lines, the connecting lines A5 A6, A5 A8, A4 A7, A4 A9, B3 B5, B3 B7 are knitted portions 32 a, 32 b for increasing thickness that form the side portions of the thumb portion 32 and the other finger portions 34. 34a and 34b, which are V-shaped when viewed from both side surfaces of the thumb portion 32, and on the divided portion 36 side of the other finger portion 34 (in the direction of arrow CC in FIG. 3B) When viewed from the top, it is V-shaped.
Note that “substantially the same number” in the description of FIG. 3 so far means that the number of needles decreases or increases when the needle hook rotates in the forward direction and the number of needles when the needle hook rotates in the reverse direction. This means that about 10% of the number of knitting needles involved in knitting may differ from the decrease or increase in the number.
[0030]
In the above description, the case where the sock-like socks 30 are knitted from the thumb portion 32 has been described, but knitting may be performed from the other finger portion 34.
In the description so far, the example of knitting socks using a circular knitting machine as the sock knitting machine has been described. However, the socks may be knitted using a flat knitting machine.
Further, although the heel portion 14 is formed on the upper side, the heel portion 14 may be formed on the sole side due to a pattern or the like.
In addition, the explanation so far has been about socks that are about the length of an ankle when worn, but long socks that exceed the ankle when worn, and tights and stockings that are longer than the thighs. The present invention can be applied, and the present invention can be applied to any number of cases where the collar portion is not formed.

【The invention's effect】
According to the sock according to the present invention, when the sock is worn, the pressing force for pressing the thumb in the direction of the other finger can be reduced as much as possible by the toe portion of the sock, and the feeling of pressure on the thumb and the little finger can be reduced. For this reason, it is suitable for sports socks used in sports where force is applied to the thumb, and is also effective in preventing thumb hallux valgus and little finger hallux valgus. Furthermore, since the shoe base can be prevented from being rubbed against the inner wall surface of the shoe while being pulled by the thumb, durability of the socks can be improved.
In addition, since the position of the heel part where the end of the opening part of the sock-shaped tubular knitting part is attached can be positioned in the vicinity of the base of the toe, when the sock is worn, the toe is rubbed against the attachment part. It is also possible to prevent the formation of edema (blister) on the instep. Moreover, since the toes are wrapped around the toes under the socks, the toes can be supported from the base, and the appearance when worn can be improved.
