Definitions

  • the invention relates to a knitted footwear, in particular a knee-high.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an article of footwear a new kind of knitted fabric, which can be made in a single operation and not having the disadvantages of articles of the prior art.
  • the invention achieves its goal by proposing an article of footwear knitted, in particular a knee-high, the sole of which has patterns in relief made by knitting, at the same time as the knee-high itself, this which eliminates the need to bring a separate sole.
  • relief patterns are meant patterns which retain a noticeable relief even after the item has been put on the foot and the knitting is in extension.
  • the relief patterns are advantageously in the form of small beads, that is to say partially tubular portions of knitted fabric, rising above the average surface of the knitted fabric; the lips of partially tubular portions are retained in the plane of said surface by specific meshes.
  • These tubular beads can be obtained by knitting according to various techniques known per se, such as “needle hooking", “plate hooking” or “double” techniques needle bed ".
  • needle hooking needle hooking
  • plate hooking or “double” techniques needle bed”
  • the beads of the invention which do not initially have an aesthetic function but are intended to form sensitive reliefs under the feet, are knitted in the circular loom only on the part that will form the sole (i.e. roughly the half of the bottom) and not on the entire periphery of the bottom.
  • beads of the invention are advantageously knitted with a thread additional, so as to give more consistency to the bead.
  • the beads of the invention form tubular portions which certainly crash under the foot but nevertheless constitute an extra thickness notable, sensitive by its relaxing effects.
  • the reliefs are in the form of parallel zigzags.
  • the reliefs have a height less than about 6 mm and they are arranged in lines spaced about 1 to 3 mm apart.
  • Figure 1 shows a knee-high 1 with a leg portion 2 and part of foot 3.
  • the leg part 2 can be made, as known per se, so as to exert a gradual pressure from the calf to the ankle. She ends with a ribbing 4.
  • the foot part 3 has a finished sole part 7 on one side by the heel part 5 and on the other by the toe part 6, these two parts 5 and 6 being reinforced as known per se.
  • the sole 7 is three-dimensional and comprises, obtained directly during knitting and therefore not reported, relief patterns 8, for example in parallel zigzags as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the reliefs 8 are separated by flat parts 9.
  • the height of the knitted beads constituting the reliefs 8 can vary depending on the desired effect. From a very low height (a few tenths of a millimeter), a sensation appears under the foot. The higher the relief, the more the hardness decreases, so that we consider in practical that the height must be less than 6 mm.
  • the distance between the raised parts 8 is preferably included between 1 and 3 mm.
  • the knee-high of the invention can be knitted according to the method and the characteristics illustrated in figure 3 where we will find the parts indicated numbered above.
  • Leg 2 and the top of foot 3 are knitted with or without play of stitches in every other fall, with progressive clamp for the leg; the sole is knitted every fall so as to give a shape shapely fitting perfectly to the foot and heel.
  • Figure 6 shows the tubular shape of a bead 8 between two flat regions 9.
  • the hatched wire corresponds to the wrapped wire added in the sole part.
  • the figure shows in particular the meshes 10 hanging between them the lips of the tubular part 8.
  • the upper part of the foot 3 can be carried out in fine titration or in large titration by knitting only the corresponding threads 1 row on 2 in an identical positioning at the bottom of the foot.
  • the measurements were made by placing a knee-high (size 38) on a form, in wearing condition. Using a cylinder with a surface area of 1 cm 2 , a force is exerted on the sole and the deformation of the sole is measured as a function of said force.
  • the sole of the invention deforms much more (for a force of 4N, the deformation is less than 0.3 mm for ordinary knitting and reaches 0.9 mm for the sole of the invention).
  • the sole of the invention plays therefore a role of shock absorber improving comfort: indeed, during the walking, the foot is under high pressure on small areas in contact with the ground; a deforming sole increases the surface in contact, which reduces pressure.
