Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention generally relates to socks, and more particularly to socks having a function of absorbing and removing sweat secreted on the soles of feet. The present invention can be applied to both socks made of hydrophilic fiber material and socks made of hydrophobic fiber material.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As shoes have become the mainstream of footwear as in recent years, it has become common to wear socks for 24 hours a day, which has become a lifestyle habit. In this way, if the socks are generally worn all the time, the wet condition of the socks due to the sweat secreted on the soles of the feet cannot be easily resolved. The continuation of the above state not only gives an unpleasant sensation to the wearer of the sock, but also causes an unpleasant odor to give discomfort to the wearer of the sock and the surrounding people. In addition, the sweat secreted on the sole of the foot easily causes a problem that the sock turns yellow. Furthermore, if the above-described condition continues for a long time in a hot and humid environment such as summer, the foot may be susceptible to skin diseases such as athlete's foot.

Therefore, as a measure for solving the above-mentioned various problems and problems, a method of preparing a few pairs of socks made of a sweat absorbing material in advance and replacing the socks with new socks every time sweating, Alternatively, a method of removing the socks that were worn and wiping off the sweat accumulated on the soles of the feet was supposed. However, the first method is an obstacle because you must always carry more than one pair of socks, especially when you have a lot of baggage. In some cases, it is not practical to change the socks. Also in the second method, as in the first method, depending on the time and place, it may not be possible to take off the socks and wipe off the sweat accumulated on the soles of the feet. However, it is hard to say that it is a practical method. As described above, none of the above-mentioned methods can be put to practical use.

Therefore, as a practical method for removing sweat on the soles of the feet, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-184525, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-205533, and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-84622 is used. Various proposals have been made. The content described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-184525 is that a band-shaped ring is formed from a material having water absorption and elasticity, and each toe of the foot is inserted into the band-shaped ring from above. They wear socks. The contents described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-205533 disclose that a sack is formed of a material having water absorption and elasticity, and each toe of the foot is inserted into the sack and the sock is inserted from above. It is supposed to be worn. In addition, the contents described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-84622 discloses that a slipper-like material is formed from a material having water absorption and elasticity, and each toe of the foot is inserted into the slipper-like material. He wore socks from above.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, when each toe is inserted into a belt-shaped ring, sack, or slipper, the socks are put on it because the fingers are greatly inflated by the ring or sack. It's not easy. Also, even if you can manage to put on your socks with your fingers inserted in the above-mentioned rings or sack, etc., if you cannot take off your socks, such as when you are out, you may replace the rings or sack. , I can't even get rid of a sweaty ring or sack.

Therefore, when it is not possible to take off the socks or put on the removed socks such as when going out, it is impossible to replace the wheels or the sack, so that any of the above proposals is practical. It was not the target.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to prevent sweat from being put on and taken off of socks, and secreted to the soles of the feet without taking off socks. The purpose of the present invention is to provide socks having a structure capable of removing the socks.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, a sock according to the present invention is a bag portion provided at an appropriate portion in a bottom surface region of a sole of a sock, and a sock is provided in a longitudinal direction of the sole. A bag portion made of a fibrous material formed to have a width corresponding to the width of the portion to be provided, and a shape capable of being inserted into and removed from the bag portion, A sheet member having a size and a water absorbing power is provided.

[0009]

[Action]

 In the above structure, the sweat secreted on the sole of the foot soaks into the fiber material forming the sole of the sock and the fiber material forming the bag. Then, the fibrous material of the bag portion is absorbed by the sheet member having a water absorbing force inserted into the bag portion.

The sweat absorbed by the sheet member in this manner is removed from the sole of the foot by pulling out the sheet member from the bag portion after an appropriate time has elapsed. After that, the sweat secreted on the soles of the feet is absorbed by the new sheet member having a water-absorbing ability inserted into the bag portion through the same process as described above. Since each sheet member having water absorption capacity is set to match the shape and size of the void area defined by the bag portion, the sock must be removed when inserting or removing the sheet member into or from the bag portion. It can be done easily without it.

Further, the bag portion is formed so as to have a width corresponding to the width of the portion to be attached in the bottom surface region of the foot sole, and is not wider than the width of the foot sole. There is no problem that the width is too large to hinder walking or the sheet member inserted in the bag part deviates from the bag part.

That is, it has become possible to provide a sock that does not hinder wearing and removing socks, and that can remove sweat secreted on the sole of the foot without taking off the socks that are being worn. .

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall sectional view showing a state in which socks according to an embodiment of the present invention are worn. As is apparent from FIG. 1, a sock S according to an embodiment of the present invention has a bag portion 3 provided on a sole 1 thereof. The bag portion 3 is provided at an appropriate site in the bottom surface region of the sole 1 of the sock S, and the bag portion 3 in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. It is provided in the part from the so-called arch to the toe.

To further explain the bag portion 3, the bag portion 3 is made of a suitable fiber material so as to have a width corresponding to the width of the region in the bottom surface region of the sole 1 to which the bag portion 3 is attached. And is positioned so as to open in the longitudinal direction of the sole 1 and attached to the above-mentioned portion (see FIG. 2). In other words, the bag portion 3 is attached to the bottom surface of the sole 1 so that it does not protrude in the lateral direction of the sole 1 of the sock S. In this embodiment, the so-called bottom is not formed in the bag portion 3 so that the sheet member 5 described later in detail can be easily inserted and removed. That is, when the bag portion 3 is attached to the bottom surface of the sole 1 of the sock S in the manner as described above, the portions on both longitudinal ends of the sole 1 are opened.

In the present embodiment, the bag portion 3 is a so-called bottomless bag as described above, but it goes without saying that a bag having a bottom may be used.

The fiber material constituting the sock S according to the present embodiment may be hydrophilic or hydrophobic. The fiber material is preferably thin so that the foot does not easily get damp even in a hot and humid environment such as in summer.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing a structure of a seat member according to an embodiment of the present invention. The sheet member 5 according to the embodiment of the present invention has a water absorbing ability, and as will be apparent with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the sheet member 5 has a shape and a size capable of being inserted into and removed from the bag portion 3. Is set.

The sheet member 5 described above will be described in more detail. The sheet member 5 is a thin sheet impregnated with a polymer absorbent and / or one of a deodorant and an antibacterial agent. 9 and a non-woven fabric 7 having a predetermined wall thickness and holding the sheet 9 therein. The polymer absorbent is used for enhancing the absorption of sweat secreted on the sole of the foot by increasing the water absorbing ability of the sheet 9. The above-mentioned deodorant is for eliminating the bad odor caused by the sweat secreted on the sole of the foot by wearing the socks S. The deodorant is used in combination with a polymer absorbent or an antibacterial agent, respectively. Those that do not diminish or eliminate the efficacy of the drug are selected appropriately. Further, the antibacterial agent kills bacteria such as athlete's foot caused by sweat secreted on the sole of the foot by wearing the socks S, or suppresses the growth and proliferation of the bacteria. As with the deodorants mentioned above, those that do not diminish or eliminate the efficacy of each drug by using it in combination with a polymeric absorbent or deodorant shall be selected appropriately. .

The non-woven fabric 7 is obtained by mechanically, chemically, and thermally treating a fiber sheet (web) made of fibers much thinner than the yarn without passing through the form of the yarn to melt the adhesive or the fibers themselves. It is a cloth that is created by joining with force. This non-woven fabric 7 is generally less likely to shrink or wrinkle, has excellent breathability, and is soft and light. The sheet member 5 composed of the sheet 9 and the non-woven fabric 7 as described above is preferably thin as a whole in order to improve the wearing center of the sock S. Further, in consideration of the sticking between the opening end of the bag portion 3 by the adhesive tape when inserted into the bag portion 3 and the removal from the bag portion 3, the length of the sheet member 5 in the longitudinal direction is considered. Should be set to be slightly longer than the length of the bag portion 3 in the longitudinal direction.

FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing the structure of another seat member according to an embodiment of the present invention. The sheet member 11 shown in FIG. 4 also has a water absorbing force similarly to the sheet member 5 shown in FIG. 3 above, and as inferred from FIGS. 1 and 2 above, The shape and size are set so that the bag portion 3 can be inserted and removed.

The sheet member 11 described above will be described in more detail. The sheet member 11 includes a layer 17 composed of a high molecular weight absorbent powder, and / or a deodorant and / or an antibacterial agent. And a non-woven fabric 13 having a predetermined thickness and holding the water absorbing paper 15 in a state of holding the layer 17. Has been. The polymer absorbent powder increases the water absorbing ability of the sheet member 11 together with the water absorbent paper 15 as in the case of the polymer absorbent described above, and thereby more reliably absorbs the sweat excreted on the sole of the foot. Is used for.

The deodorant and the antibacterial agent forming the layer 17 together with the polymer absorbent powder perform the functions described above. As deodorants and antibacterial agents, those that do not diminish or eliminate the efficacy of each drug by using it in combination with the polymer absorbent powder shall be selected appropriately. The non-woven fabric 13 is substantially the same as the non-woven fabric 7 described above, and the water-absorbent paper 15 is, for example, a blotter paper. The sheet member 11 composed of the layer 17, the water absorbing paper 15 and the non-woven fabric 13 as described above is also formed thin as a whole in order to make the sock S comfortable to wear as in the case of the sheet member 5. The ones that have been given are desirable.

Next, a usage mode of the sock S using the sheet member 5 shown in FIG. 3 as the sheet member to be inserted into the bag portion 3 will be described. First, the sheet member 5 described above is inserted into the bag portion 3. It is desirable to carry out this work after wearing the socks S as shown in FIGS. Because the socks S are highly flexible due to their uses and constituent materials, the socks S will be fixed in a state in which their shape is almost the same as the shape of the foot only when they are worn on the feet. Therefore, the bag portion 3 provided on the sole 1 is also substantially fixed in shape, so that the seat member 5 can be inserted more easily than when the sock S is not worn.

As described above, the shape and size of the sheet member 5 are set so as to match the shape and size of the bag portion 3, and since the sheet member 5 is formed thin, The sheet member 5 can be smoothly inserted and removed from the bag portion 3. When the sheet member 5 is inserted into the bag portion 3, the open end of the bag portion 3 and the end portion of the sheet member 5 are attached to each other with an adhesive tape or the like, so that the inserted sheet member 5 can be inserted into the bag portion 3. It is also possible to prevent the position from being displaced inside.

When sweat begins to be released from the sole of the foot due to the fact that the user is wearing shoes for a long time or is staying in a hot and humid environment for a long time, the sweat is generated in the socks. The fiber material forming S is soaked into the sheet member 5 from the bag portion 3. The sweat permeating the sheet member 5 is absorbed by the polymer absorbent impregnated in the sheet 9 through the nonwoven fabric 7. When the sheet 9 is impregnated with the polymer absorbent and the deodorant, the malodor caused by the secretion of sweat is eliminated by the deodorant. When the sheet 9 is impregnated with an antibacterial agent together with a high molecular weight absorbent, the bacteria causing skin diseases that have propagated on the soles of the feet due to the secretion of sweat are killed by the antibacterial agent, Be suppressed. Furthermore, when the sheet 9 is impregnated with a deodorant and an antibacterial agent together with a polymer absorbent, the effect of the deodorant and the effect of the antibacterial agent can be obtained.

The sheet member 5 thus absorbing the sweat removes the above-mentioned adhesive tape while wearing the socks S, and then removes the end of the sheet member 5 looking through the opening of the bag 3. It can be pulled out easily by grasping and pulling it out. After the sheet member 5 is pulled out, a new sheet member 5 is inserted into the bag unit 3 in the manner as described above. The same applies when the sheet member 11 shown in FIG. 4 is used.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to easily insert the sheet member 5 into the bag portion 3 and remove the sheet member 5 from the bag portion 3 while wearing the socks S. , The secretion of sweat secreted on the sole of the foot can be reliably performed, and discomfort such as stickiness due to sweat can be reduced, and further, the malodor caused by secreted sweat can be removed and skin diseases can be prevented. It became possible to provide the socks S.

FIG. 5 is an overall sectional view showing a state in which socks according to another embodiment of the present invention are worn. As is apparent from FIG. 5, a sock S'according to another embodiment of the present invention has a plurality of bags 23a, 23b, 23c provided on the sole 21 thereof. This is different from the embodiment. That is, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the plurality of bag portions 23a to 23c are provided at the so-called arch of the foot to the toe. Each of these bag portions 23a to 23c is formed of an appropriate fiber material so as to have a width corresponding to the width of the portion in the bottom surface region of the foot portion 21 where the bag portions 23a to 23c are to be provided. The soles 21 are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the sole 21 so as to open in the lateral direction of the sole 21. The sheet members 25a to 25c to be inserted into the bag portions 23a to 23c are set in shape and size so that they can be smoothly inserted into and removed from the bag portions 23a to 23c. It has been done.

As described above, the bag portions 23a to 23c formed smaller than the bag portion 3 shown in FIG. 1 are opened in the lateral direction of the sole 21 as shown in FIG. 21 are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction, and the sheet members 25a to 25c to be inserted into the bag portions 23a to 23c are also set to have a shape and size suitable for the bag portions 23a to 23c. The reason is that by making the bag portion and the sheet member smaller, the insertion and removal of the sheet members 25a to 25c can be performed more smoothly, and the positional deviation in the sheet members 25a to 25c can be made smaller. Because it can be done.
