(Constitution)
FIG. 1 is an overall view of the legware according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, socks will be described as an example of leg wear. The sock 100 includes a toe portion 110 that covers the toes of the human body leg, a foot portion 120 that covers the entire foot from the sole of the foot to the instep, a heel portion 130 that reinforces the fabric that covers the heel, and from under the knee to above the heel. It has a cylindrical main body 140 that covers the lower leg portion up to and a rubber mouth portion 150 having an opening (not shown) corresponding to the lower knee portion. Each of these parts consists of the same knitted fabric. Further, the toe portion 110, the heel portion 130, and the rubber mouth portion 150 may use a reinforced knitted fabric from the viewpoint of reinforcement.

When the sock 100 is attached, a plurality of magnets 16 are arranged on the calf portion 160 attached to the calf-corresponding portion which is the upper part of the heel portion 130 of the main body 140. The magnet 16 is provided on the surface of the lower leg of the main body 140 in contact with the skin. In FIG. 1, a plurality of magnets 16 are schematically shown by dotted lines.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the arrangement of magnets in the calf portion 160 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Three magnets 16 are arranged in the circumferential direction, and five magnets are arranged in the vertical direction (from the heel to the upper part of the lower leg), but it is sufficient that two or more magnets are arranged in the vertical direction. In the embodiment shown in this drawing, a case where 15 magnets 16a to 16o are arranged on the inner surface of the calf portion 160 of the cylindrical main body 140 in contact with the skin will be described. The first magnet group consisting of the three magnets 16a, 16b and 16c is arranged as an interval width W1 in the inner peripheral direction, and is closer to the rubber mouth portion 150 than the other magnets 16 and at the height closest to the knee corresponding portion. Have been placed. Here, for convenience of explanation, it is said that the first magnet group (16a, 16b and 16c) is arranged in the first inner peripheral direction.

Next, the second magnet group composed of the three magnets 16d, 16e and 16f is arranged in the second inner peripheral direction closer to the heel portion 130 than the arrangement position of the first magnet group. Further, the arrangement spacing width W2 of the magnets (16d, 16f) outside the second magnet group is narrower than the spacing width W1 between the magnets (16a, 16c) outside the first magnet group. There is.

Similarly, the third magnet group consisting of the three magnets 16g, 16h and 16i is arranged in the third inner peripheral direction closer to the heel portion 130 than the arrangement position of the second magnet group. Further, the spacing width W3 between the magnets (16g, 16i) outside the third magnet group is narrower than the spacing width W2 between the magnets (16d, 16f) outside the second magnet group.

Similarly, a fourth magnet group consisting of three magnets 16j, 16k and 16l is arranged in the fourth inner peripheral direction closer to the heel portion 130 than the third inner peripheral. Further, the distance width W4 between the outer magnets (16j, 16l) is narrower than the distance width W3 between the outer magnets (16g, 16i) of the third magnet group.

Similarly, a fifth magnet group consisting of three magnets 16m, 16n and 16o is arranged in the fifth inner peripheral direction closer to the heel portion 130 than the fourth inner peripheral. Further, the spacing width W5 between the magnets (16m, 16o) between the outer sides is narrower than the spacing width W4 between the magnets (16j, 16l) between the outsides of the fourth magnet group.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the shape of the magnet according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The magnet 16 is attached to the inner peripheral surface 162, which is the inner surface of the calf portion 160 that is attached to the calf corresponding portion at the time of attachment and is in contact with the skin. The shape of the magnet 16 is a hemisphere having a diameter dimension D and a height dimension H, and a circular bottom surface is attached to the inner peripheral surface 162. The magnet 16 is covered with a silicon-containing cover and protrudes from the fabric. Further, the magnet 16 may contain magnet powder in silicon.

When the sock 100 having this configuration is worn, the wearer's calf comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface 162 of the calf portion 160 of the sock 100, and the magnet 16 gets stuck in the wearer's skin by the height H. Further, the area in contact with the skin on which the magnet 16 bites corresponds to the area obtained by adding the area of the circle obtained by the diameter dimension D of the magnet 16.

FIG. 4 is a table illustrating the pressure applied to the sock corresponding to the size of the magnet according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The magnet 16 has a diameter dimension D of 5 to 30 mm, a height dimension H of 0.3 to 50 mm, and a magnetic force of 80 to 200 mT.

The shape of the magnet is not limited to the hemisphere and may be a cube. When the bottom surface is square, the dimension D in FIG. 4 represents the length of each side of the square, and the dimension H represents the height of the cube. Here, the corners of the upper surface (that is, the surface that is difficult for the wearer's skin to enter) may be rounded. The dimension of the radius R of the roundness of the corner may be appropriately determined, but if the dimension of R is increased, the wearing feeling becomes good.

Further, the pressure applied to the main body 140 of the sock 100 gradually increases from the rubber mouth portion 150 side (also referred to as "upper end of the main body") to the heel portion 130 side (also referred to as "lower end of the main body"), and is 0 to 0. It is 50 hPa.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a modification of the shape of the magnet. FIG. (A) shows the dimensional shape of the bottom surface (elliptical shape) when the shape of the magnet is an elliptical hemisphere. FIG. 3B shows the dimensional shape of the bottom surface (rectangle) when the shape of the magnet is a rectangular parallelepiped. When the shape of the magnet is a rectangular parallelepiped, the corners of the upper surface may be rounded as in the case of the cube described above. The height dimension H is 0.3 to 50 mm.

(Action)
The magnets 16 arranged on the inner peripheral surface 162 of the calf portion 160 of the sock 100 are arranged in three rows in the length direction of the cylindrical main body 140 from the rubber mouth portion 150 to the heel portion 130. Then, as described with reference to FIG. 2, the width between the magnets in each row has a narrow dimension W5 closest to the heel portion 130, and a wide interval with the dimension W4, the dimension W3, and the dimension W2 toward the rubber mouth portion 150 side. The magnet spacing dimension W1 closest to the rubber mouth portion 150 is the widest arrangement.

Normally, the calf of the lower leg has a vein from the heel side to the back of the knee (also called "above the lower leg"), but by arranging the magnet 16 in this way, when the sock 100 is attached, Three rows of magnets in the sock 100 can be abutted at positions corresponding to the positions of the three veins that extend from the heel side to the back of the knee on the surface of the calf. As a result, the magnet 16 is brought into contact with the position corresponding to the vein where the thrombus, which is one of the economy syndromes, is brought into contact with each other and crimped, so that the thrombus is less likely to occur.

Further, the shape of the magnet 16 covered with the silicon cover is a hemisphere, and the magnet has a hemispherical shape, which makes it difficult for the magnet to squeeze into the skin and the SN of the magnet to recirculate more effectively.

In addition, the pressure applied to the lower leg portion 140 is highest on the heel portion side, and by lowering the pressure toward the rubber mouth portion 150 side, blood circulation can be promoted and economy syndrome can be prevented.

(effect)
According to the first embodiment, the blood circulation of the calf of the wearer of the sock 100 can be promoted from the heel portion to the upper part of the lower leg portion. This can alleviate the symptoms of economy syndrome.

Further, since the magnet 16 is covered with a silicon cover and is arranged on the surface in contact with the skin when worn, once the sock 100 is worn, the magnet 16 gets stuck in the skin and does not easily slip off against the skin. It has become. In addition, since the silicon cover is a hemisphere, the circular bottom surface of the hemisphere becomes flat, which has the effect of easily sticking to the fabric of the sock 100.

Further, when the shape of the bottom surface of the magnet is the shape shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), if the long sides are arranged parallel to the long axis direction of the main body, the shape is along the vein and the magnetic force is effectively applied. It has the effect of being able to receive it.

On the other hand, if the long sides are arranged parallel to the circumferential direction of the cylinder, there is a slight individual difference in the position of the vein flowing through the calf in the circumferential direction, but there is an effect that the individual difference can be covered.
