Description

The present invention relates to a wearing device.

In the past, it was reported that "a tabi part having at least an instep part and a sole part, a triangular wedge part provided on the toe side of each of the instep part and the sole part, the triangular wedge part having the sock width line on the first toe side in a plan view as its base and an acute angled apex located on the sock width line on the fifth toe side or halfway to the sock width line on the fifth toe side, at least the first to fifth toe stalls having base positions that are inclined or curved toward the heel more than the base positions of at least the first toe stalls and the second toe stalls, and at least the base positions of the fourth toe stalls and the fifth toe stalls having base positions that are inclined or curved toward the heel more than the base positions of at least the first toe stalls and the second toe stalls, A five-toed sock has been proposed, which has a base part where the base parts of adjacent toe stalls are connected so that the base part is inclined or curved toward the heel more than the base parts of the first and second toe stalls, and a linking line at a position where the base part and the instep side of the tabi part are connected, and the linking line has a shape that is inclined or curved toward the heel more than the positions corresponding to at least the first and second toes at positions corresponding to at least the fourth and fifth toes (see, for example, JP 2017-043868 A). In these five-toed socks, the ring finger and little finger are less likely to slip off the toe stalls than in normal five-toed socks.

JP 2017-043868 A

The five-toed socks mentioned above are thought to be quite effective during relatively light exercise such as slow walking, but there is a risk that the little toe (fifth toe) may slip out of the toe pouch during relatively intense exercise such as fast walking, running, or the complex movements involved in various sports.

The objective of the present invention is to provide a device that prevents the little toe (fifth toe) from slipping out of the toe pouch even during relatively vigorous exercise such as that described above.

The wearing device according to the first aspect of the present invention is knitted by a circular knitting machine and is a wearing device that covers at least the foot, and includes an inner toe pouch, an outer toe pouch, and a foot part. Note that "toe" in this specification is synonymous with "toes". In addition, in this specification, the foot part does not include the toe pouch. The inner toe pouch covers at least the first toe. The outer toe pouch covers at least the fifth toe. Note that multiple toes may be inserted into the toe pouch, but the number is four or less. The foot part has an inner region and an outer region. The inner region includes the same wale stitches as the part corresponding to the base of the first toe, but does not include the same wale stitches as the outer toe pouch. The outer region includes the same wale stitches as the outer toe pouch, but does not include the same wale stitches as the part corresponding to the base of the first toe. And the inner region has higher stretchability than the outer region.

In this wearing device, the medial region has a higher extensibility than the lateral region. Therefore, when this wearing device is worn, the toe pouch that can cover the fifth toe (little toe) can be pulled toward the heel, and deformation of the toe pouch can be suppressed during exercise. Therefore, with this wearing device, the little toe (fifth toe) is less likely to slip out of the toe pouch even during relatively intense exercise.

The wearing device according to the second aspect of the present invention is the wearing device according to the first aspect, and the inner region includes a high stretch area and the outer region includes a low stretch area. The high stretch area exhibits higher stretchability than the low stretch area.

This makes the device relatively easy to make and keeps manufacturing costs down.

The wearing device according to the third aspect of the present invention is the wearing device according to the second aspect, and the high stretch area has a sector or wedge shape in which the number of courses on the inside is greater than the number of courses on the outside.

As a result, this garment can increase the stretchability on the inside of the high stretch area and decrease the stretchability on the outside.

The wearing device according to the fourth aspect of the present invention is the wearing device according to the second or third aspect, and the foot part is a basic component part that has lower stretchability than the high stretch area and higher stretchability than the low stretch area.

In other words, this harness is mainly composed of a basic component part, a high stretch part, and a low stretch part. Therefore, this harness can solve the problem of the present invention while providing other necessary characteristics such as heat retention and breathability to the basic component parts.

The wearing device according to the fifth aspect of the present invention is a wearing device according to any one of the second to fourth aspects, and the high-stretch area is formed to include a portion corresponding to the base of the first toe.

The wearing device according to the sixth aspect of the present invention is the wearing device according to any one of the second to fifth aspects, and the low stretch area is formed to include an area corresponding to the base of the fifth toe.

The wearing device according to the seventh aspect of the present invention is a wearing device according to any one of the first to sixth aspects, and in the foot part, the side length on the first toe side is longer than the side length on the fifth toe side.

This makes it even more difficult for the little finger (fifth toe) to slip out of the toe pouch.

The wearing device according to the eighth aspect of the present invention is the wearing device according to the seventh aspect, and the ratio of the side length on the first toe side when a tension of 3.5 kg is applied to the side length on the fifth toe side when a tension of 3.5 kg is applied is within the range of 1.04 to 1.27.

The above ratio range has been determined based on actual measurements of the feet of many people. This allows many people to experience the effect of making it difficult for the fifth toe to slip out of the toe pouch.

The wearing device according to the ninth aspect of the present invention is a wearing device according to any one of the first to eighth aspects, in which the ratio of the side length of the inner region when a tension of 3.5 kg is applied to the side length of the first toe side when a tension of 3.5 kg is applied is within a range of 0.13 to 0.31.

The above numerical range is a ratio range suitable for the lateral length from the base of the first toe to the heel, and the dimensions of the proximal phalanx and metatarsal bone. This allows the first toe pouch to fit the first big toe, and prevents the fifth toe pouch from slipping off due to being pulled toward the toes.

The wearing device according to the tenth aspect of the present invention is a wearing device according to any one of the first to ninth aspects, in which the ratio of the side length of the outer region when a tension of 3.5 kg is applied to the side length of the fifth toe side when a tension of 3.5 kg is applied is within a range of 0.02 to 0.18.

The above numerical range is a ratio range suitable for the lateral length from the base of the fifth toe to the heel, and the dimensions of the proximal phalanx and metatarsal bone. This makes it difficult for the fifth toe pouch to be pulled toward the toes, preventing the fifth toe from slipping off.

The wearing device according to the eleventh aspect of the present invention is a wearing device according to any one of the first to tenth aspects, in which the ratio of the side length of the inner region when a tension of 3.5 kg is applied to the side length of the outer region when a tension of 3.5 kg is applied is within the range of 1.5 to 10.

The above numerical range is a ratio range suitable for the dimensions of the proximal phalanges and metatarsals on the first and fifth toe sides. This makes it difficult for the fifth toe pouch to be pulled toward the toes, which not only prevents the fifth toe from slipping off, but also provides a good fit.

The wearing device according to the twelfth aspect of the present invention is knitted by a circular knitting machine and is a wearing device that covers at least the foot, and includes an inner toe pouch, an outer toe pouch, and a foot part. The inner toe pouch covers at least the first toe. The outer toe pouch covers at least the fifth toe. Note that multiple toes may be inserted into the toe pouch, but the number is four or less. The foot part has an inner region and an outer region. The inner region includes stitches on the same wales as the part corresponding to the base of the first toe, but does not include stitches on the same wales as the outer toe pouch. The outer region includes stitches on the same wales as the outer toe pouch, but does not include stitches on the same wales as the part corresponding to the base of the first toe. The elasticity of the outer region is higher than that of the inner region.

In this wearing device, the elasticity of the outer region is higher than that of the inner region. Therefore, when this wearing device is worn, the toe pouch that can cover the fifth toe (little toe) can be pulled toward the heel, and deformation of the toe pouch can be suppressed during exercise. Therefore, with this wearing device, the little toe (fifth toe) is less likely to slip out of the toe pouch even during relatively intense exercise.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of knitting of a toe pouch of an attachment with toe pouch according to one embodiment of the present invention. 1 is a diagram showing the positional relationship of a high stretch portion of an attachment with a toe pouch according to an embodiment of the present invention with respect to the foot bones. FIG.

<Configuration of the wearing device with toe pouch according to the embodiment of the present invention>
The toe pouch wearing device according to the embodiment of the present invention is knitted by a circular knitting machine and is a device with toe pouches that covers at least the foot, such as socks, tabi socks, foot covers, stockings, tights, etc. An example of the toe pouch wearing device according to the embodiment of the present invention is a foot wearing device with five toe pouches 100 shown in Fig. 1. Below, the foot wearing device with five toe pouches 100 will be described in detail, and a configuration that can be allowed in the present invention will be described.

The foot attachment with toe pouches 100 shown in FIG. 1 is mainly composed of a foot section 160, a first toe pouch section 110, a second toe pouch section 120, a third toe pouch section 130, a fourth toe pouch section 140, and a fifth toe pouch section 150. Note that this foot attachment with toe pouches 100 may further be formed with a leg section, a panty section, etc. Note that the leg section is a section that covers part or all of the leg. Also, the panty section is a section that covers part or all of the area from the crotch to the waist. Examples of items that have both a leg section and a panty section include stockings and tights.

The foot section 160 is a part that covers the foot. Here, the toe pouch sections 110 to 150 are not included in the foot section 160. When the leg section is formed in the foot attachment with five toe pouches 100, the leg section extends upward from the heel end of the foot section 160. As shown in FIG. 1, the side length L1 of the first toe pouch side of the foot section 160 is made slightly longer than the side length L5 of the fifth toe pouch side (in other words, the side length L5 of the fifth toe pouch side of the foot section 160 is made slightly shorter than the side length L1 of the first toe pouch side). It is desirable to make such a relationship of side lengths to the limit that can be realized by a circular knitting machine. Examples of methods that can realize such a relationship of side lengths include the following methods. The toe pouches are knitted in sequence from the fifth toe pouch to the first toe pouch by repeating narrowing, widening, and full-circle knitting (see FIG. 2. The white areas in FIG. 2 are areas knitted with the needles lowered.) This method makes the number of courses in the foot part on the first toe side (= the number of courses from the toe side end point of the heel gore line to the heel side end point of the toe pouch gore line) longer than the number of courses in the foot part on the fifth toe side (= the number of courses from the toe side end point of the heel gore line to the heel side end point of the toe pouch gore line) (i.e., when aligning the positions of the toe pouches, the number of courses of the wale corresponding to the toe pouch knitted later is longer by the number of courses in the full-circle knitting area knitted between the toe pouches), and the above-mentioned relationship in side length can be realized. Additionally, the length of the gore line can be adjusted, the tip can be a Y-shaped heel, or the number of stitches can be adjusted.

Methods for measuring the side lengths L1 and L5 include, for example, a method in which the foot attachment with a five-toe bag 100 is placed on a flat surface and measured in a flat state (laying dimension measurement method), and a method in which a certain load is applied in the length direction to the foot attachment with a five-toe bag 100 to measure it in a stretched state (stretch dimension measurement method). Either measurement method is carried out in the following steps (1) to (4). In the stretch dimension measurement method, the tension applied to the foot part must be the same in the above (2) and (4). Note that this tension is preferably 3.5 kg, since this tension is approximately the same as the dimension when the attachment 100 is worn.

(1) Fold the foot portion 160 along a widthwise imaginary line passing through the midpoint between the toe side end point of the gore line on the outer side of the first toe and the toe side end point of the heel gore line.
(2) Measure the stretch dimension of the portion from the midpoint specified in (1) above to the toe-side end point of the gore line on the outer side of the first toe. This stretch dimension is defined as the side length L1.
(3) Fold the foot portion 160 along a widthwise imaginary line passing through the midpoint between the toe side end point of the gore line on the outer side of the fifth toe and the toe side end point of the heel gore line.
(4) Measure the stretch dimension of the portion from the midpoint specified in (3) above to the toe-side end point of the gore line on the outer side of the fifth toe. This stretch dimension is defined as the side length L5.

In addition, in the five-toe pouch footwear 100, if there are multiple heel gore lines due to branching, it is preferable to use the toe side end point of the longest main gore line in the heel area as the toe side end point of the heel gore line.

As shown in FIG. 1, the foot portion 160 is mainly composed of a basic component part MBP, a high stretch part HEP, and a low stretch part LEP. These parts are described in detail below.

The basic component part MBP constitutes the majority of the foot part, and is formed with consideration given to properties other than stretchability, such as heat retention, breathability, and cushioning. It is preferable that this basic component part MBP is knitted with a knitted fabric. In addition, if leg parts or panty parts are formed in the foot wearing device with five-toed pouch 100, the leg parts and panty parts may be of the same construction as the basic component part MBP.

The high stretch area HEP has a higher stretchability than the basic component area MBP. It is preferable that the high stretch area HEP is knitted with a highly elastic knit (e.g., mesh knit or pearl knit). It is also preferable that the high stretch area HEP has a fan or wedge shape in which the number of courses on the inside is greater than the number of courses on the outside (see Figure 1). This is because it is possible to increase the stretchability of the inside of the high stretch area HEP and decrease the stretchability of the outside. In an embodiment of the present invention, the high stretch area HEP is formed in an area that includes the same wale stitches as the area corresponding to the base of the first toe, but does not include the same wale stitches as the fifth toe pouch portion 150. It is preferable that the high stretch area HEP is provided at a position including the base of the first toe (big toe) in the course direction and at a position corresponding to the ball of the big toe in the wale direction (in terms of the relationship with the foot bones, it is a position corresponding to the proximal phalanx or metatarsal bone as shown in FIG. 3). It is also preferable that the high stretch area HEP extends from the back side area through the outer surface area of the first toe side to the instep side area. In addition, when forming the high stretch area HEP, not only the stretchability but also other characteristics (for example, heat retention, breathability, cushioning, etc.) may be taken into consideration.

The low stretch area LEP has a lower stretchability than the basic component area MBP. In other words, the stretchability of the low stretch area LEP is lower than that of the high stretch area HEP. It is preferable that the low stretch area LEP is knitted with a knitted fabric with low elasticity (for example, tuck knitting or miss knitting (floating knitting)). In an embodiment of the present invention, the low stretch area LEP is formed in an area that includes the same wale stitches as the fifth toe pouch portion 150 but does not include the same wale stitches as the area corresponding to the base of the first toe. It is preferable that the low stretch area LEP is located at a position that includes the base of the fifth toe (little toe) in the course direction and at a position that corresponds to the little toe ball in the wale direction (in terms of the relationship with the foot bones, it is a position that corresponds to the proximal phalanx or metatarsal bone as shown in FIG. 3). In addition, it is preferable that the low stretch area LEP extends from the back side area through the outer surface area of the fifth toe side to the instep side area. In addition, when forming the low stretch area LEP, not only the stretchability but also other characteristics (e.g., heat retention, breathability, cushioning, etc.) may be taken into consideration.

The first toe pouch 110 is a portion that covers the first toe, i.e., the big toe, and extends forward from the innermost end in the width direction of the foot part 160 when viewed from the bottom as shown in FIG. 1. It is preferable that the first toe pouch 110 is knitted with a knitted fabric.

The second toe pouch 120 is a portion that covers the second toe, i.e., the index toe, and extends forward from a portion that is sandwiched between the base portion of the first toe pouch 110 and the base portion of the third toe pouch 130 of the foot part 160 in a bottom view as shown in FIG. 1. It is preferable that the second toe pouch 120 is knitted with a knitted fabric.

The third toe pouch 130 is a portion that covers the third toe, i.e., the middle toe, and extends forward from a portion that is sandwiched between the base portion of the second toe pouch 120 and the base portion of the fourth toe pouch 140 of the foot part 160 in a bottom view as shown in FIG. 1. It is preferable that the third toe pouch 130 is knitted with a knitted fabric.

The fourth toe pouch 140 is a portion that covers the fourth toe, i.e., the ring toe, and extends forward from a portion sandwiched between the base portion of the third toe pouch 130 and the base portion of the fifth toe pouch 150 of the foot part 160 in a bottom view as shown in FIG. 1. It is preferable that the fourth toe pouch 140 is knitted with a knitted fabric.

The fifth toe pouch 150 is a portion that covers the fifth toe, i.e., the little toe, and extends forward from the outermost end in the width direction of the foot part 160 when viewed from the bottom as shown in FIG. 1. It is preferable that the fifth toe pouch 150 is knitted with a knitted fabric.

<Modification>
(A)
In the explanation of the embodiment above, a foot attachment device with a five-toe pouch 100 has been described as an embodiment of the present invention, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this and may include, for example, an attachment device with a two-toe pouch, an attachment device with a three-toe pouch, an attachment device with a two-toe pouch, an attachment device with a three-toe pouch, or an attachment device with a four-toe pouch.

Examples of the attachment with two toe pouches include a1) a toe pouch for covering only the first toe, and a toe pouch for covering the second, third, fourth, and fifth toes together, a2) a toe pouch for covering the first and second toes together, and a toe pouch for covering the third, fourth, and fifth toes together, a3) a toe pouch for covering the first, second, and third toes together, and a toe pouch for covering the fourth and fifth toes together, and a4) a toe pouch for covering the first, second, third, and fourth toes together, and a toe pouch for covering only the fifth toe.

Examples of the attachments with three toe pouches include b1) a toe pouch for covering only the first toe, a toe pouch for covering only the second toe, and a toe pouch for covering the third, fourth, and fifth toes together, b2) a toe pouch for covering only the first toe, a toe pouch for covering the second and third toes together, and a toe pouch for covering the fourth and fifth toes together, and b3) a toe pouch for covering only the first toe, a toe pouch for covering the second, third, and fourth toes together, and a toe pouch for covering only the fifth toe. b4) those having a toe pouch for covering the first and second toes together, a toe pouch for covering only the third toe, and a toe pouch for covering the fourth and fifth toes together; b5) those having a toe pouch for covering the first and second toes together, a toe pouch for covering the third and fourth toes together, and a toe pouch for covering only the fifth toe; b6) those having a toe pouch for covering the first, second, and third toes together, a toe pouch for covering only the fourth toe, and a toe pouch for covering only the fifth toe.

Examples of the attachments with four toe pouches include c1) a toe pouch for covering only the first toe, a toe pouch for covering only the second toe, a toe pouch for covering only the third toe, and a toe pouch for covering the fourth and fifth toes together, and c2) a toe pouch for covering only the first toe, a toe pouch for covering only the second toe, a toe pouch for covering the third and fourth toes together, and a toe pouch for covering only the fifth toe. c3) those with a toe pouch for covering only the first toe, a toe pouch for covering the second and third toes together, a toe pouch for covering only the fourth toe, and a toe pouch for covering only the fifth toe; c4) those with a toe pouch for covering the first and second toes together, a toe pouch for covering only the third toe, a toe pouch for covering only the fourth toe, and a toe pouch for covering only the fifth toe.

(B)
The foot part 160 of the foot wearing device with five-toed pouch 100 according to the previous embodiment was composed of the basic component part MBP, the high stretch part HEP and the low stretch part LEP, but the foot part 160 may be composed of only the basic component part MBP and the high stretch part HEP, or may be composed of only the basic component part MBP and the low stretch part LEP. In the former case, the stretchability of the basic component part MBP is made lower than that of the high stretch part HEP, and in the latter case, the stretchability of the basic component part MBP is made higher than that of the low stretch part LEP.

(C)
In the foot wearing device 100 with five-toed pouch according to the previous embodiment, the high stretch areas HEP and low stretch areas LEP are formed by changing the knitting method (by changing the type of knitted fabric). However, the high stretch areas HEP and low stretch areas LEP may also be formed by a) changing the yarn material, b) changing the number of yarns, c) adding a material other than the knitted fabric, or d) changing the processing method.

a) When forming high elongation areas HEP and low elongation areas LEP by changing the yarn material, the yarns on the same course are switched using a circular knitting machine capable of intarsia knitting. In other words, highly elongated filament twisted yarn (FTY), polyurethane yarn, rubber yarn, etc. are used as the yarn that constitutes the high elongation areas HEP, and normal low elongation yarn is used as the yarn that constitutes the low elongation areas LEP.

b) When forming the high elongation region HEP and the low elongation region LEP by changing the number of threads, the number of threads in the low elongation region LEP is increased compared to the number of threads in the high elongation region HEP, thereby making the elongation of the low elongation region LEP lower than that of the high elongation region HEP.

c) When forming high elongation areas HEP and low elongation areas LEP by adding materials other than the knitted fabric, resin, hard rubber, hard elastomer, etc. may be applied to the low elongation areas LEP, or a film or sheet may be attached.

d) When forming high elongation regions HEP and low elongation regions LEP by changing the processing method, examples of methods include a method in which the low elongation regions LEP are knitted with thermoplastic resin yarn or fused yarn, and then the low elongation regions LEP are melted and solidified so that they are related to the other regions in terms of elasticity, and a method in which only the low elongation regions LEP are knitted with thermoplastic resin yarn or fused yarn as additional yarn, and then the low elongation regions LEP are melted and solidified so that they are related to the other regions in terms of elasticity.

(D)
The foot part 160 of the foot wearing device with five-toed pouch 100 according to the previous embodiment is composed of the basic component part MBP, the high stretch part HEP, and the low stretch part LEP, but the high stretch part HEP may be replaced with a low elasticity part, and the low stretch part LEP may be replaced with a high elasticity part. Here, the low elasticity part shows lower elasticity than the high elasticity part. In other words, the low elasticity part has a weaker restoring force than the high elasticity part. This example may be applied to the above modification (B).

<Measurement example>
(1)
We investigated the range of lengths that 80% of people would meet based on the measurement data of the length of each toe and the length from the base of the fourth toe to the base of the fifth toe when viewed from the bottom of the foot. 104 people (60 men and 44 women) were recruited as measurement subjects. Then, the length of each toe and the length from the base of the fourth toe to the base of the fifth toe were measured for each measurement subject using the following method.

1. Have the person place their right foot lightly on the printer and have the printer take a footprint of the sole of their foot.
2. From the footprint, measure the length of each toe and the length from the base of the fourth toe to the base of the fifth toe.

As a result, the length ranges that 80% of people met were as follows.
Male: 1st toe length 40-46mm, 2nd toe length 28-36mm, 3rd toe length 24-32mm, 4th toe length 20-26mm, 5th toe length 22-26mm, length from base of 4th toe to base of 5th toe 14-18mm

Female: 1st toe length 36-42mm, 2nd toe length 26-34mm, 3rd toe length 20-30mm, 4th toe length 18-26mm, 5th toe length 20-24mm, length from base of 4th toe to base of 5th toe 14-18mm

By setting the dimensions of each part of the foot attachment with five-toe pouch 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention based on the above measurement data, it is possible to achieve a shoe that not only fits the shape of the foot, but is also comfortable to wear and difficult to slip off.

(2)
The lateral length from the tip of the toe whose tip is located at the front to the heel, the lateral length from the base of the first toe to the heel, and the lateral length from the base of the fifth toe to the heel were measured when viewed from the bottom of the foot. 48 subjects (31 Egyptian type, 17 Greek type) were collected. Then, the lateral length from the tip of the toe whose tip is located at the front to the heel, the lateral length from the base of the first toe to the heel, and the lateral length from the base of the fifth toe to the heel were measured for each subject by the following method. In the Egyptian type, the toe whose tip is located at the front is the first toe, and in the Greek type, the toe whose tip is located at the front is the second toe.

1. Have the person place their right foot lightly on the printer and have the printer take a footprint of the sole of their foot.
2. From the footprint, measure the lateral length from the tip of the toe whose tip is at the forefront to the heel, the lateral length from the base of the first toe to the heel, and the lateral length from the base of the fifth toe to the heel.

As a result, the average values for the lateral length from the tip of the toe with the tip positioned at the front to the heel, the lateral length from the base of the first toe to the heel, and the lateral length from the base of the fifth toe to the heel were as follows:

<Egyptian type>
Side length from tip of first toe to heel: 252 mm
Side length from base of first toe to heel: 207 mm
Side length from the base of the fifth toe to the heel: 184 mm

＜Greek Type＞
Side length from tip of second toe to heel: 251 mm
Side length from base of first toe to heel: 206 mm
Side length from the base of the fifth toe to the heel: 182 mm
(3)
From the lateral length from the tip of the toe with the forward-most tip position obtained in (2) above to the heel, the dimension from the base of the first toe to the heel, and the lateral length from the base of the fifth toe to the heel, we investigated what percentage longer the lateral length from the base of the first toe to the heel was compared to the lateral length from the base of the fifth toe to the heel for the Egyptian and Greek types. We found that for the Egyptian type, the average was 112.8%, or 12.8% longer, and for the Greek type, the average was 113.2%, or 13.2% longer.

These results make it clear that the area of the garment on the first toe side needs to have elasticity in the range of 110% to 120% compared to the area on the fifth toe side.

According to the above measurement examples and empirical rules in the art, for a person with a foot length of 24.0 cm to 26.0 cm, the lateral length (laying dimension) from the tip of the toe whose tip position is at the forefront when the foot wearing device with five-toe bag 100 is laid flat to the heel is preferably 210 mm ± 20 mm, the lateral length L1 (laying dimension) from the base of the first toe to the heel is preferably 140 mm ± 20 mm, and the lateral length L5 (laying dimension) from the base of the fifth toe to the heel is preferably 135 mm ± 20 mm. In addition, for the same person, the side length (stretched dimension) from the tip of the toe whose tip position is the foremost to the heel when the five-toed foot attachment 100 is stretched with a load of 3.5 kg is preferably 350 mm ± 20 mm, the side length L1 (stretched dimension) from the base of the first toe to the heel is preferably 210 mm ± 20 mm, and the side length L5 (stretched dimension) from the base of the fifth toe to the heel is preferably 200 mm ± 20 mm. In other words, in the laid-down dimension, L1/L5 is preferably in the range of 1.03 (≒ 160/155) to 1.05 (≒ 120 mm/115 mm). In addition, in the stretched dimension, L1/L5 is preferably in the range of 1.04 (≒ 230 mm/220 mm) to 1.06 (≒ 190 mm/180 mm).

In such a case, the side length (laying dimension) of the high stretch area HEP when the foot attachment with five-toe pouch 100 is laid flat is preferably 30 mm ± 10 mm, and the side length (laying dimension) of the low stretch area LEP is preferably 15 mm ± 10 mm. In addition, for the same person, the side length (stretching dimension) of the high stretch area HEP when the foot attachment with five-toe pouch 100 is stretched with a load of 3.5 kg is preferably 60 mm ± 10 mm, and the side length (stretching dimension) of the low stretch area LEP is preferably 15 mm ± 10 mm. Note that the side length (stretching dimension) of the high stretch area HEP is the dimension when a load of 3.5 kg is applied only to the high stretch area HEP, and the side length (stretching dimension) of the low stretch area LEP is the dimension when a load of 3.5 kg is applied only to the low stretch area LEP. That is, in the laid-down dimension, the ratio of the side length of the high stretch region HEP to the side length of the low stretch region LEP is preferably 1.6 (= 40 mm/25 mm) or more and 4 (= 20 mm/5 mm) or less. In addition, in the stretched dimension, the ratio of the side length of the high stretch region HEP to the side length of the low stretch region LEP is preferably 2.8 (= 70 mm/25 mm) or more and 10 (= 50 mm/5 mm) or less. In addition, if the ratio of the side length of the high stretch region HEP to the side length of the low stretch region LEP is reversed, the fifth toe side becomes more difficult to stretch, and the difficulty of slipping off can be further improved. However, there is a risk of a feeling of tightness in the fifth toe.

As described above, the ratio of the side length (laying dimension) of the high stretch area HEP to the side length L1 (laying dimension) from the base of the first toe to the heel when the foot attachment with five-toe pouch 100 is laid flat is preferably 0.16 (≒20mm/120mm) or more and 0.25 (=40mm/160mm). Also, the ratio of the side length (stretching dimension) of the high stretch area HEP to the side length L1 (stretching dimension) from the base of the first toe to the heel when the foot attachment with five-toe pouch 100 is stretched with a load of 3.5 kg is preferably 0.26 (≒50mm/190mm) or more and 0.31 (≒70mm/230mm) or less.

As described above, the ratio of the side length (laying dimension) of the low stretch area LEP to the side length L5 (laying dimension) from the base of the fifth toe to the heel when the foot attachment with five-toe pouch 100 is laid flat is preferably within a range of 0.04 (≒5mm/115mm) to 0.17 (≒25mm/155mm). Also, the ratio of the side length (stretching dimension) of the low stretch area LEP to the side length L5 (stretching dimension) from the base of the fifth toe to the heel when the foot attachment with five-toe pouch 100 is stretched with a load of 3.5 kg is preferably within a range of 0.02 (≒5mm/180mm) to 0.12 (≒25mm/220mm).

In another design, for a person with a foot length of 24.0 cm to 26.0 cm, the lateral length (laying dimension) from the tip of the toe whose tip position is the most forward when the foot wearing device with five-toe bag 100 is laid flat to the heel is preferably 180 mm ± 20 mm, the lateral length L1 (laying dimension) from the base of the first toe to the heel is preferably 150 mm ± 20 mm, and the lateral length L5 (laying dimension) from the base of the fifth toe to the heel is preferably 120 mm ± 20 mm. In addition, for the same person, the side length (stretched dimension) from the tip of the toe whose tip position is the foremost to the heel when the five-toed foot attachment 100 is stretched with a load of 3.5 kg is preferably 460 mm ± 20 mm, the side length L1 (stretched dimension) from the base of the first toe to the heel is preferably 400 mm ± 20 mm, and the side length L5 (stretched dimension) from the base of the fifth toe to the heel is preferably 320 mm ± 20 mm. In other words, in the laid-down dimension, L1/L5 is preferably in the range of 1.21 (≒ 170/140) to 1.30 (≒ 130 mm/100 mm). In addition, in the stretched dimension, L1/L5 is preferably in the range of 1.23 (≒ 420 mm/340 mm) to 1.27 (≒ 380 mm/300 mm).

In such a case, the side length (laying dimension) of the high stretch area HEP when the foot attachment with five-toe pouch 100 is laid flat is preferably 30 mm ± 10 mm, and the side length (laying dimension) of the low stretch area LEP is preferably 20 mm ± 10 mm. In addition, for the same person, the side length (stretching dimension) of the high stretch area HEP when the foot attachment with five-toe pouch 100 is stretched with a load of 3.5 kg is preferably 70 mm ± 20 mm, and the side length (stretching dimension) of the low stretch area LEP is preferably 40 mm ± 20 mm. Note that the side length (stretching dimension) of the high stretch area HEP is the dimension when a load of 3.5 kg is applied only to the high stretch area HEP, and the side length (stretching dimension) of the low stretch area LEP is the dimension when a load of 3.5 kg is applied only to the low stretch area LEP. That is, in the laid-down dimension, the ratio of the side length of the high stretch region HEP to the side length of the low stretch region LEP is preferably 1.3 (= 40 mm/30 mm) or more and 2.0 (= 20 mm/10 mm) or less. In addition, in the stretched dimension, the ratio of the side length of the high stretch region HEP to the side length of the low stretch region LEP is preferably 1.5 (= 90 mm/60 mm) or more and 2.5 (= 50 mm/20 mm) or less. In addition, if the ratio of the side length of the high stretch region HEP to the side length of the low stretch region LEP is reversed, the fifth toe side becomes more difficult to stretch, and the difficulty of slipping off can be further improved. However, there is a risk of a feeling of tightness in the fifth toe.

As described above, the ratio of the side length (laying dimension) of the high stretch area HEP to the side length L1 (laying dimension) from the base of the first toe to the heel when the foot attachment with five-toe pouch 100 is laid flat is preferably 0.15 (≒20mm/130mm) or more and 0.24 (=40mm/170mm) or less. Also, the ratio of the side length (stretching dimension) of the high stretch area HEP to the side length L1 (stretching dimension) from the base of the first toe to the heel when the foot attachment with five-toe pouch 100 is stretched with a load of 3.5 kg is preferably 0.13 (≒50mm/380mm) or more and 0.22 (≒90mm/420mm) or less.

As described above, the ratio of the side length (laying dimension) of the low stretch area LEP to the side length L5 (laying dimension) from the base of the fifth toe to the heel when the foot attachment with five-toe pouch 100 is laid flat is preferably within a range of 0.10 (≒10mm/100mm) to 0.22 (≒30mm/140mm). Also, the ratio of the side length (stretching dimension) of the low stretch area LEP to the side length L5 (stretching dimension) from the base of the fifth toe to the heel when the foot attachment with five-toe pouch 100 is stretched with a load of 3.5 kg is preferably within a range of 0.06 (≒20mm/300mm) to 0.18 (≒60mm/340mm).

The above numerical range of ratios can be applied to any size of foot attachment 100 with five-toed pouch.
