Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sports sock which is knitted from a basic yarn and reinforced areas having.
  • the reinforced areas are created by additional yarns which are knitted with the base yarn.
  • additional threads mentioned Plush loops are the additional threads mentioned Plush loops.
  • Sports socks with knitted areas are known which Form reinforcements on the heel and sole or in the leg area Have padding or padding.
  • a sports sock is known from EP-A-0 015 119, in which the ball and heel area compared to the other areas a higher loop density is provided. Through this training is intended to directly close the heel and ball area protect because of the higher snare density in these areas has a shock-absorbing effect. The natural rolling movement of the However, this sock does not support the foot.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate the above Disadvantages with the help of a sock with special ball protection, the prevents the formation of bubbles on the ball of the foot and with which also another bale injury in the sports mentioned Operations can be largely avoided.
  • the invention relates to a sports sock of the above Kind of a device for making a sock, which has a special bale protection and the injury and prevents overuse of the bale.
  • a sock as proposed in claims 1 to 10 is proposed is and a device for manufacturing the sock after claims 11 to 14.
  • the sock has in selected areas a second or even a third additional yarn, which yarns are entangled with the base yarn, but with the loop density of the plush loops formed always in the ball area of the Sock is highest.
  • loop density Loops understood per unit area.
  • the so defined Loop density can be achieved through the additional use of a knitted one second or third yarn, but also by one denser attachment of loops per unit area can be increased. Because the second possibility with special equipment difficulties is mainly the first one Possibility treated, but without the second possibility entirely to exclude.
  • the sole area can also be padded, preferably the same as the toe and heel area, so that heel, sole and toe area are the same but less are densely padded like the bale area.
  • the padded areas not only convey a soft and comfortable footrest, but also ensure that the strong Sweat the moisture is wiped away immediately so that there is no unpleasant wetness and a feeling of cold.
  • Another object of the invention is a device to manufacture the proposed sock using a double cylinder plush machine, one apron and one swivel Thread guide and another thread guide for the base yarn owns. Such a facility differs in that in the features listed in the claims 11 to 14 of the prior art.
  • Sports sock has a shaft part 10, which in the usual Way up with a stop edge 11 is completed.
  • the Shaft part 10 is followed by a foot part 12, the upper one Area forms the instep or instep 13, while the lower Part of a heel area adjoining the shaft part 10 14, a further following sole area 15 and one the foremost Part of the toe region 16 forming the foot part 12, whereby between the sole area 15 and the toe area 16 the important bale area 17 is located.
  • the whole sports sock is knitted from a single base yarn G, which preferably consists of a moisture-wicking Microfiber and consists of an elastic fiber.
  • moisture-wicking fiber can be called the "Coolmax” known fiber and as elastic fiber an elastane fiber be used.
  • the heel area 14, the sole area 15, the ball area 17 and the toe region 16 of the sock contain a first additional yarn P1, which together with the base yarn G in the mentioned areas is knitted in so that plush loops are created.
  • This first additional yarn is preferably made of new wool.
  • a second additional yarn P2 processed which in turn Forms plush loops and made from a synthetic staple fiber like e.g. "Coolmax" can exist.
  • This third Additional yarn P3 can be made from textured synthetic yarn, e.g. made of nylon yarn consist.
  • the sock shown and described has in the shaft part 10 the first additional yarn P1, in the heel area 14 the first and second Additional yarn P1 and P2, the first and third in the sole area 15 Additional yarn P1 and P3, in the bale area 17 the first, second and third additional yarn P1, P2 and P3 and in the toe area 16 the first and the second additional yarn P1 and P2.
  • the sock described has excellent properties and is suitable great for athletic purposes.
  • additional support formed by the processing of three additional yarns P1, P2 and P3, which form plush loops with a high loop density there particularly sensitive bales protected the foot rolling in a natural way Favored and by the choice of materials of the Base yarns and the additional yarns have a beneficial climate effect achieved by wicking moisture away.
  • the sock described is produced by means of a in Fig. 2 schematically and only partially shown double cylinder plush machine 1 equipped with an apron 2 is. Instead of the usual short recess, there is a slot elongated recess 5 in the form of a narrow cutout provided which recess is against the back 9 of the apron 2 extends. Towards the inner end of the recess 5 is the end of a thread guide tube provided with an outlet nozzle 7 directed, which is equipped with an air inlet nozzle 6 is. In this way, a controlled thread guide for the third additional yarn P3 is formed, which exactly by means of compressed air transported into the recess 5 for loop formation becomes.
  • a bore 4 is provided at 8 there is a thread guide for that Ground yarn G and 3 with another thread guide in the Form of a high heel apparatus, which with one end up led to the recess 5 and in the usual way in the directions of the arrows P is arranged to pivot back and forth.
  • the arrangement is taken so that this pivotable thread guide 3 in the at the same height as the thread guide tube 7, which feeds the third additional yarn P3 to the recess 5.
  • the double-cylinder plush machine designed in the manner described offers the possibility of plush loops from the first additional yarn Form P1, which is guided through the bore 4.
  • the optional feeding of the second additional yarn P2 and the formation of corresponding plush loops is done using the as High heel apparatus designed pivotable thread guide 3rd
  • an inventive Socks can be made easily and varied.
