Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain socks wearable without applying a squeezing force to the calf and resistant to slipping-down. SOLUTION: The socks 1 are men's socks covering up to the calf. The part from the ankle B to the calf A is totally knitted by rib stitching and the width of the calf part A is about 1.5 times the width of the ankle part B in a state before wearing on the foot. The calf part A is preferably knitted by lowering the tension of a stretchable yarn to be knit into the fabric to form a plating stitch and increasing the tension of the yarn for the knitting of the socks part B.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sock knitted from a toe to a calf.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional sock, an ankle portion and a calf portion are formed to have the same width. Or, since the calf part is just the upper edge of the sock, it is often the case that the part is made of rubber knitting or that part is made of rubber knitting stronger than the ankle part.

[0003]

However, as described above, when the same width is formed from the ankle to the calf,
The calf was tightened and felt cramped and painful. If tightened too tightly, there is a risk that blood circulation will deteriorate and health will be adversely affected. Also, if you make only the calf rubber knitting or strong rubber knitting,
Certainly, it is difficult to slip down, but there is a problem that the calf part is tightened and a trace of tightening remains even after taking off the socks. Thus, if it is loosened in order to prevent it from being tightened, there is a problem that it is easy to slip down during the wearing and it becomes hard to see.

[0004] The various problems as described above are caused by the fact that the calf C of the human leg is thicker than the ankle D as shown in FIG. The inventor, who has obtained the knowledge that it is caused by the same width and the same thickness up to the present, provides a sock knitted according to the shape of the foot, and provides a sock with a structure in which the calf C is difficult to tighten. The present invention has been proposed for the purpose of doing so.

[0005]

The socks according to the first aspect of the present invention are configured so that the elasticity in the width direction at the calf portion is higher than the elasticity in the width direction at the ankle portion. In addition, high elasticity means that it is easily stretched. In the sock according to the second aspect, the width of the calf portion is wider than the width of the ankle portion.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, a sock according to the present invention will be described.
The embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a sock of the present invention, which is knitted as a gentleman's sock up to the calf.
The entire body is knitted with rubber knitting from the ankle part B to the swelling part A. In particular, before knitting, it is knitted so that the width of the calf part A is about 1.5 times the width of the ankle part B. I have.

[0007] When knitting the calf portion A, knitting is preferably performed by reducing the tension of the elastic yarn to be knitted as the auxiliary yarn, and when knitting the socks B, it is preferable to increase the tension of the auxiliary yarn. With such knitting, socks with different elasticities in the width direction can be formed even if the calf portion A and the ankle portion B have the same wale number. When knitting the upper edge portion A1, the tension is set to be slightly stronger than that of the calf portion A, so that the upper edge portion A1 is tightened on the calf when worn so that it does not slip easily. That is, since the tension of the auxiliary thread at the calf portion A is weak, it is easy to spread in the width direction when the calf is pierced, and since the whole is knitted with rubber, the calf is wrapped and hard to slip down.

[0008] The socks of the present invention are not limited to those knitted by the above-described knitting method, but may have different wale numbers. The ankle B and the upper edge A1 have elasticity. By narrowing the width of the ankle B and the upper edge A1 using a means such as tying a string, the calf A
Should be formed looser or wider than the ankle B. That is, it is only necessary that the calf portion is formed wider than the ankle portion, or that the calf portion is configured to have higher elasticity than the ankle portion.

With such a configuration, FIG.
When the calf C of the foot is worn on the human foot as shown in the above, the calf C of the foot corresponds to the calf A of the sock, and the ankle D of the foot corresponds to the ankle B of the sock. The socks are widened, and the thin ankles are slender, so that the socks are properly tightened, so that they can be worn comfortably without being too tight or being too loose and slipping off. FIG. 2 shows a front view, a side view, and the like of the sock of the present invention.

[0010]

When the socks of the present invention are worn on the feet, the calves can be worn comfortably because the calves are loosely held and do not slip down.
