Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to socks suitable for winter sports such as skiing and skating.

Unlike business socks, winter sports socks focus on keeping feet warm and protected.
For example, if the sole is thickly knitted throughout, the sole of the foot will also be thick, creating a feeling of discomfort between the sole of the foot and the shoe, making it difficult to transmit the subtle movements of the foot to the shoe, and making it easier to get tired. He has the drawback of not being able to play well.

Conventionally, socks such as the one shown in FIG. 1 have been used for this type of sports.

This sock 1 has a thick pile knit from the instep side of the ankle 2 to the instep 3, and a thin flat knit from the back of the ankle 2 to the heel 4, bottom 5, and toe 6. In other words, the entire sole of the foot is made thinner to eliminate the discomfort between the shoe and the shoe.

However, this sock 1 has the disadvantage that the ankle part is thin, so the Achilles tendon is not protected when shoes are worn, and the ankle part 2 has poor elasticity, so it is difficult to fit around the ankle. Furthermore, it is generally said that the lower part of the toes feels the coldest, but since the toes 6 of these socks 1 are thin throughout, they lack warmth for the toes for winter use. There was also a problem.

This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and the back side of the ankle, malleolus, and lower part of the toe of the conventional socks are made thicker to protect the area from the ankle to the Achilles tendon and to keep the lower part of the toe warm. The ankle part has a ridged tightening part that can be expanded and contracted in the circumferential direction to improve the fit of the ankle.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on FIG. 2.

10 is a ski sock according to the present invention, and the drawing shows the sock turned inside out for convenience of explanation, and the front side (not shown) has an opening edge 11 and a tightening part 12.
The entire fabric is woven in a plain color with the same stitch pattern, except for the .

The opening edge 11 is, as is well known, threaded with a suitable elastic material such as rubber thread, and serves to hold the sock 10 on the foot.

The socks 10 have a thick ankle part 13, instep part 14, bright part 15, and lower toe part 16 by pile knitting.
On the other hand, the heel portion 17, bottom portion 18, and upper toe portion 19 are thinly knitted by flat knitting.

Moreover, between the opening edge 11 of the ankle part and the ankle part 15,
In other words, the tightening part 12 is formed by ridge knitting and is formed by elongating the rubber knitting at the opening edge downwardly, thereby giving elasticity in the circumferential direction of the sock.

This tightening part 12 is used to reduce the diameter of the sock to fit the ankle when worn. Depending on the aspect, the entire sock has elasticity, and the elasticity of the tightening part 12 is higher than that. It may be formed as follows.

Note that the pile knitting in this example is applied to the inside of the socks.

As mentioned above, the front side is knitted in a plain color, but the rectangular tightening part 12 following the rubber knitting at the opening edge reveals a vertical striped stitch pattern, giving it a beautiful look as if it were a one-point design. There is.

Since the socks according to the present invention have the above-described structure, even when wearing sturdy shoes such as those for skiing or skating, they can sufficiently protect the area from the hip to the Achilles tendon and keep the lower part of the toes warm. can.

On the other hand, the sole of the foot and the upper part of the toe are made thinner, creating a sense of unity between the foot and the shoe, allowing the player's subtle intentions to be conveyed to the skis, etc.

Moreover, the sock according to the present invention completely eliminates the drawbacks of conventional products, such as the presence of the tightening portion 12, which allows the sock to fit the foot well, and exhibits excellent effects.
