Abstract

The sports sock has a leg region (10), a heel region (14), a sole region (15), a ball region (17) and a toe region (16), knitted from a continuous basic yarn (G), some or all of these regions being reinforced. The reinforced regions are produced by means of additional yarns which are knitted together with the basic yarn. In order to obtain a soft and agreeable cushioning, the said additional yarns form plush loops. In the basic yarn (G), a first and a second additional yarn (P1, P2) can be knitted into the toe region and heel region (16 and 14 respectively) and a first and a third additional yarn (P1, P3) can be knitted into the sole region (15), whilst the ball region (17) can be knitted from the basic yarn (G) and from the three additional yarns (P1, P2, P3). The reinforcements thus formed constitute plush loops, the density of which can be higher in the ball region (17) than in the remaining reinforced regions. <IMAGE>

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Sportsocke, welche aus einem Grundgarn gestrickt ist und verstärkte Bereiche aufweist. Die verstärkten Bereiche werden durch Zusatzgarne erzeugt, welche mit dem Grundgarn verstrickt werden. Um eine weiche und angenehme Polsterung zu erhalten, bilden die genannten Zusatzgarne Plüschschlingen.The present invention relates to a sports sock knitted from a base yarn and having reinforced areas. The reinforced areas are created by additional yarns, which are knitted with the base yarn. In order to obtain a soft and comfortable upholstery, the additional threads mentioned form plush loops.

Es sind Sportsocken mit eingestrickten Bereichen bekannt, welche an der Ferse und an der Sohle Verstärkungen bilden oder im Beinbereich Polsterungen oder Wattierungen aufweisen.Sports socks with knitted-in areas are known which form reinforcements on the heel and sole or have padding or padding in the leg area.

Ein wesentlicher Nachteil der bekannten Socken besteht jedoch darin, dass keine speziellen Vorkehrungen getroffen sind, um diejenigen Fussteile zu schützen, die bei der Abrollbewegung des Fusses besonders stark beansprucht werden. Darunter werden in erster Linie die Fussballen verstanden, welche die ganze Abrollbewegung bewerkstelligen und dadurch besonders stark beansprucht sind. Demzufolge bilden sich bei grossen Beanspruchungen des Fusses, wie z.B. bei Wanderungen, beim Jogging und Tennis, aber auch beim Fahrrad- und Skifahren, oft Blasen und andere Verletzungen an der genannten Stelle, die meistens sehr schmerzhaft sind und eine sofortige Behandlung der verletzten Stelle benötigen, was in zwingender Weise den Abbruch der sportlichen Betätigung nach sich zieht.A major disadvantage of the known socks, however, is that no special precautions are taken to protect those parts of the foot that are particularly stressed during the rolling motion of the foot. These are primarily the balls of the feet, which accomplish the entire rolling movement and are therefore particularly stressed. As a result, large stresses on the foot, e.g. when hiking, jogging and tennis, but also when cycling and skiing, often blisters and other injuries at the site mentioned, which are usually very painful and require immediate treatment of the injured area, which inevitably leads to the termination of the sporting activity pulls itself.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Beseitigung der obigen Nachteile mit Hilfe einer Socke mit besonderem Ballenschutz, der die Bildung von Blasen am Fussballen unterbindet und mit dem sich auch eine sonstige Ballenverletzung bei den erwähnten sportlichen Betätigungen weitgehend vermeiden lässt.The object of the present invention is to eliminate the above disadvantages with the aid of a sock with special ball protection prevents the formation of blisters on the ball of the foot and with which other ball injuries during the aforementioned sporting activities can be largely avoided.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich nebst einer Sportsocke der oben erwähnten Art auch auf eine Einrichtung zum Herstellen einer Socke, welche einen besonderen Ballenschutz aufweist und die Verletzung und Überbeanspruchung des Ballens verhindert.In addition to a sports sock of the type mentioned above, the invention also relates to a device for producing a sock, which has a special bale protection and prevents injury and overuse of the bale.

Vorgeschlagen wird eine Socke, wie sie in den Ansprüchen 1 10 definiert ist und eine Einrichtung zur Herstellung der Socke nach den Ansprüchen 11 14.A sock as defined in claims 1-10 and a device for producing the sock according to claims 11-14 are proposed.

Gemäss dem Anspruch 1 weist die Socke in ausgewählten Bereichen ein zweites oder sogar ein drittes Zusatzgarn auf, welche Garne mit dem Grundgarn verstrickt sind, wobei jedoch die Schlingendichte der gebildeten Plüschschlingen immer im Ballenbereich der Socke am höchsten ist.According to claim 1, the sock has a second or even a third additional yarn in selected areas, which yarns are knitted with the base yarn, but the loop density of the plush loops formed is always highest in the ball area of the sock.

Überraschenderweise hat sich gezeigt, dass die verstärkte Polsterung am Ballenbereich gegenüber allen anderen Bereichen, insbesondere gegenüber dem Fersenbereich, die sonst bei intensiven sportlichen Betätigungen auftretenden Fussbeschwerden im Ballen- und im Fersenbereich beinahe vollständig verschwinden lässt. Dies kann damit erklärt werden, dass die gegenüber dem Ballenbereich etwas härtere Auflage im Fersenbereich beim Gehen, Joggen oder beim Tennisspielen zu einer leichten Gewichtsverlagerung nach vorne führt, welche dann das natürliche Abrollen des Fusses erleichtert und begünstigt, während der Fersenbereich entlastet wird.Surprisingly, it has been shown that the increased padding on the ball area compared to all other areas, especially the heel area, makes the foot discomfort in the ball and heel area, which otherwise occurs during intensive sporting activities, almost completely disappear. This can be explained by the fact that the somewhat harder support in the heel area when walking, jogging or playing tennis leads to a slight shift in weight, which then causes the foot to roll naturally relieved and favored while relieving the heel area.

Unter Schlingendichte wird immer die Anzahl der gebildeten Schlingen pro Flächeneinheit verstanden. Die so definierte Schlingendichte kann durch die zusätzliche Verwendung eines eingestrickten zweiten oder dritten Garnes, aber auch durch eine dichtere Anbringung von Schlingen pro Flächeneinheit erhöht werden. Da die zweite Möglichkeit mit besonderen apparativen Schwierigkeiten verbunden ist, wird nachfolgend hauptsächlich die erste Möglichkeit behandelt, ohne jedoch die zweite Möglichkeit gänzlich auszuschliessen.Loop density is always understood to mean the number of loops formed per unit area. The loop density defined in this way can be increased by the additional use of a knitted-in second or third yarn, but also by a denser attachment of loops per unit area. Since the second option is associated with special apparatus difficulties, the first option is mainly dealt with below, but without completely excluding the second option.

Wird die Schlingendichte im Zehen- und im Fersenbereich gegenüber den übrigen Bereichen mit Ausnahme des Ballenbereiches, ebenfalls erhöht, so entsteht eine zusätzliche sehr angenehme Polsterung des ganzen Fusses, wobei jedoch der Ballenbereich bevorzugt geschützt bleibt.If the loop density in the toe and heel areas is also increased compared to the other areas with the exception of the ball area, additional very comfortable padding of the entire foot is created, although the ball area remains preferably protected.

Es kann darüber hinaus auch der Sohlenbereich eine Polsterung erhalten, vorzugsweise die gleiche wie der Zehen- und Fersenbereich, so dass Fersen-, Sohlen- und Zehenbereich gleich aber weniger dicht gepolstert sind wie der Ballenbereich.The sole area can also be padded, preferably the same as the toe and heel area, so that the heel, sole and toe areas are padded the same but less densely than the ball area.

Die gepolsterten Bereiche vermitteln nicht nur eine weiche und angenehme Fussstütze, sondern sorgen auch dafür, dass beim starken Schwitzen die Feuchtigkeit sofort weggeleitet wird, so dass keine unangenehme Durchnässung und ein Kältegefühl entsteht. Zu diesem Zweck können nebst Schurwolle für ein erstes Zusatzgarn eine synthetische Spinnfaser für das zweite und ein texturiertes Zusatzgarn als drittes Zusatzgarn verwendet werden, während im Grundgarn ein elastischer Lycrafaden vorhanden sein kann.The padded areas not only provide a soft and comfortable footrest, but also ensure that when sweating profusely, the moisture is immediately carried away, so that there is no unpleasant drenching and a feeling of cold. For this purpose you can use new wool for a first additional yarn a synthetic staple fiber for the second and a textured additional yarn can be used as the third additional yarn, while an elastic lycra thread can be present in the base yarn.

Einen weiteren Gegenstand der Erfindung bildet eine Einrichtung zur Herstellung der vorgeschlagenen Socke mit Hilfe einer Doppelzylinder-Plüschmaschine, die eine Schürze und einen schwenkbaren Fadenführer sowie einen weiteren Fadenführer für das Grundgarn besitzt. Eine solche Einrichtung unterscheidet sich durch die in den Ansprüchen 11 14 aufgeführten Merkmale vom Stand der Technik.Another object of the invention is a device for producing the proposed sock with the help of a double cylinder plush machine, which has an apron and a pivotable thread guide and another thread guide for the base yarn. Such a device differs from the prior art by the features listed in claims 11 14.

Wesentlich ist, die Schürze durch die Aenderung der Aussparung derselben sowie durch das Anbringen einer Bohrung so zu gestalten, dass aus den durch die Fadenführer geleiteten Zusatzgarnen sowie aus dem durch die Bohrung geführten Garn Plüschschlingen gebildet werden können.It is essential to design the apron by changing the recess thereof and by making a hole in such a way that plush loops can be formed from the additional yarns guided through the thread guides and from the yarn passed through the hole.

Auf beiliegender Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der vorgeschlagenen Socke und eine Skizze der Einrichtung dargestellt und zwar zeigen,

  • Fig.1 die Seitenansicht einer Socke; und
  • Fig.2 die schematische Darstellung einer Einrichtung zur Herstellung einer Socke.
The attached drawing shows an exemplary embodiment of the proposed sock and a sketch of the device, namely
  • 1 shows the side view of a sock; and
  • 2 shows the schematic representation of a device for producing a sock.

An dieser Stelle soll ausdrücklich darauf hingewiesen werden, dass es sich bei der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Socke lediglich um ein Ausführungsbeispiel im Rahmen der Erfindung handelt.At this point, it should be expressly pointed out that the sock shown in the drawing is merely an exemplary embodiment within the scope of the invention.

Es sind selbstverständlich den Rahmen der Erfindung nicht verlassende, andere Ausführungsformen denkbar, namentlich was das Verstricken der Zusatzgarne mit dem Grundgarn in den einzelnen Bereichen anbelangt.It goes without saying that other embodiments that do not go beyond the scope of the invention are conceivable, particularly as far as the knitting of the additional yarns with the base yarn in the individual areas is concerned.

Die als Beispiel in den Zeichnungen schematisch dargestellte Sportsocke weist einen Schaftteil 10 auf, welcher in üblicher Weise nach oben mit einem Anschlagrand 11 abgeschlossen ist. Dem Schaftteil 10 schliesst sich ein Fussteil 12 an, dessen oberer Bereich den Fussrücken oder Rist 13 bildet, während der untere Teil einen sich dem Schaftteil 10 anschliessenden Fersenbereich 14, einen weiter folgenden Sohlenbereich 15 und einen die vorderste Partie des Fussteils 12 bildenden Zehenbereich 16 umfasst, wobei sich zwischen dem Sohlenbereich 15 und dem Zehenbereich 16 der wichtige Ballenbereich 17 befindet.The sports sock, which is shown schematically as an example in the drawings, has a shaft part 10, which is closed in the usual way upwards with a stop edge 11. The shaft part 10 is followed by a foot part 12, the upper region of which forms the back of the foot or instep 13, while the lower part comprises a heel region 14 adjoining the shaft part 10, a further sole region 15 and a toe region 16 forming the foremost part of the foot part 12 , the important ball area 17 being located between the sole area 15 and the toe area 16.

Die ganze Sportsocke ist durchgehend aus einem Grundgarn G gestrickt, welches vorzugsweise aus einer feuchtigkeitstransportierenden Mikrofaser und aus einer elastischen Faser besteht. Als feuchtigkeitstransportierende Faser kann die unter der Bezeichnung "Coolmax" bekannte Faser und als elastische Faser eine Elastanfaser verwendet werden.The entire sports sock is knitted throughout from a base yarn G, which preferably consists of a moisture-transporting microfiber and an elastic fiber. The fiber known under the name "Coolmax" can be used as the moisture-transporting fiber and an elastane fiber as the elastic fiber.

Der Fersenbereich 14, der Sohlenbereich 15, der Ballenbereich 17 und der Zehenbereich 16 der Socke enthalten ein erstes Zusatzgarn P1, welches zusammen mit dem Grundgarn G in den genannten Bereichen so eingestrickt ist, dass Plüschschlingen entstehen. Dieses erste Zusatzgarn besteht vorzugsweise aus Schurwolle.The heel area 14, the sole area 15, the ball area 17 and the toe area 16 of the sock contain a first additional yarn P1, which is knitted together with the base yarn G in the areas mentioned in such a way that plush loops are formed. This first additional yarn is preferably made of new wool.

Im Fersenbereich 14, im Ballenbereich 17 und im Zehenbereich 16 ist ein zweites Zusatzgarn P2 verarbeitet, welches wiederum Plüschschlingen bildet und aus einer synthetischen Spinnfaser wie z.B. "Coolmax" bestehen kann.In the heel area 14, in the ball area 17 and in the toe area 16, a second additional yarn P2 is processed, which in turn forms plush loops and is made of a synthetic staple fiber such as e.g. "Coolmax" can exist.

Schliesslich weisen der Sohlenbereich 15 und der Ballenbereich 17 ein drittes Zusatzgarn P3 auf, welches ebenfalls mit dem Grundgarn G verarbeitet wird und Plüschschlingen bildet. Dieses dritte Zusatzgarn P3 kann aus texturiertem Kunstgarn, z.B. aus Nylongarn bestehen.Finally, the sole area 15 and the ball area 17 have a third additional yarn P3, which is also processed with the base yarn G and forms plush loops. This third additional yarn P3 can be made from textured synthetic yarn, e.g. are made of nylon yarn.

Die dargestellte und beschriebene Socke weist im Schaftteil 10 das erste Zusatzgarn P1, im Fersenbereich 14 das erste und zweite Zusatzgarn P1 und P2, im Sohlenbereich 15 das erste und dritte Zusatzgarn P1 und P3, im Ballenbereich 17 das erste, zweite und dritte Zusatzgarn P1, P2 und P3 und im Zehenbereich 16 das erste und das zweite Zusatzgarn P1 und P2 auf.The sock shown and described has the first additional yarn P1 in the shaft part 10, the first and second additional yarn P1 and P2 in the heel area 14, the first and third additional yarn P1 and P3 in the sole area 15, the first, second and third additional yarn P1 in the ball area 17, P2 and P3 and in the toe area 16 the first and second additional yarns P1 and P2.

Da im Ballenbereich 17 nebst dem Grundgarn G noch drei zusätzliche Garne P1, P2 und P3 verarbeitet sind, ist in diesem Bereich die Schlingendichte, d.h. die Anzahl der Schlingen pro Flächeneinheit, grösser als in den übrigen Bereichen, wo nur zwei zusätzliche Garne, und zwar P1 und P2 in den Bereichen 14 und 16 bzw. P1 und P3 im Bereich 15, verarbeitet sind. Im Schaftteil 10 ist nur ein zusätzliches Garn P1 verarbeitet.Since three additional yarns P1, P2 and P3 are processed in the bale area 17 in addition to the base yarn G, the loop density, i.e. the number of loops per unit area, larger than in the other areas, where only two additional yarns, namely P1 and P2 in areas 14 and 16 or P1 and P3 in area 15, are processed. Only one additional yarn P1 is processed in the shaft part 10.

Ferner geht aus den vorangehenden Ausführungen hervor, dass die Schlingendichte im Zehenbereich 16 und im Fersenbereich 14 gleich ist, da in beiden Bereichen die Zusatzgarne P1 und P2 verarbeitet sind, und dass der Sohlenbereich 15 die gleiche Schlingendichte wie der Zehenbereich 16 und Fersenbereich 14 aufweist. In allen drei vorgenannten Bereichen sind nämlich Plüschschlingen aus zwei Zusatzgarnen P1 und P2 bzw. P1 und P3 vorhanden.Furthermore, it is apparent from the preceding explanations that the loop density in the toe area 16 and in the heel area 14 is the same, since the additional yarns P1 and P2 are processed in both areas and that the sole area 15 has the same loop density as the toe area 16 and the heel area 14. In all three areas mentioned above, there are plush loops made of two additional yarns P1 and P2 or P1 and P3.

Die beschriebene Socke hat ausgezeichnete Eigenschaften und eignet sich hervorragend für sportliche Zwecke. Durch die im Ballenbereich 17 gebildete zusätzliche Stütze, die durch die Verarbeitung von drei zusätzlichen Garnen P1, P2 und P3 entsteht, die dort Plüschschlingen mit hoher Schlingendichte bilden, wird der besonders empfindliche Ballen geschont, das Fussabrollen in natürlicher Weise begünstigt und durch die Wahl der Materialien des Grundgarnes und der Zusatzgarne eine vorteilhafte Klimawirkung erzielt, indem die Feuchtigkeit weitergeleitet wird.The sock described has excellent properties and is ideal for sporting purposes. Due to the additional support formed in the bale area 17, which is created by processing three additional yarns P1, P2 and P3, which form plush loops with a high loop density, the particularly sensitive bale is protected, the foot rolling is naturally favored and by the choice of Materials of the base yarn and the additional yarns achieve an advantageous climate effect by passing on the moisture.

Die Herstellung der beschriebenen Socke erfolgt mittels einer in Fig. 2 schematisch und nur ausschnittweise dargestellten Doppelzylinder-Plüschmaschine 1, die mit einer Schürze 2 ausgerüstet ist. Anstelle der üblichen kurzen Aussparung ist eine schlitzartig verlängerte Aussparung 5 in der Form eines schmalen Ausschnittes vorgesehen, welche Aussparung sich gegen die Rückseite 9 der Schürze 2 erstreckt. Gegen das innere Ende der Aussparung 5 ist das mit einer Austrittsdüse versehene Ende eines Fadenführungsrohres 7 gerichtet, das mit einer Lufteintrittsdüse 6 ausgerüstet ist. In dieser Weise wird eine gesteuerte Fadenführung für das dritte Zusatzgarn P3 gebildet, welches mittels Druckluft genau in die Aussparung 5 zwecks Schlingenbildung transportiert wird.The sock described is produced by means of a double-cylinder plush machine 1 which is shown schematically and only in part in FIG. 2 and is equipped with an apron 2. Instead of the usual short recess, a slot-like elongated recess 5 in the form of a narrow cutout is provided, which recess extends against the rear 9 of the apron 2. The end of a thread guide tube 7, which is provided with an outlet nozzle and is equipped with an air inlet nozzle 6, is directed toward the inner end of the recess 5. In this way, a controlled thread guide is formed for the third additional yarn P3, which is transported precisely into the recess 5 by means of compressed air for the purpose of forming loops.

Ferner ist am unteren Teil der Schürze 2 unterhalb der Aussparung 5 eine Bohrung 4 vorgesehen. Mit 8 ist ein Fadenführer für das Grundgarn G bezeichnet und mit 3 ein weiterer Fadenführer in der Form eines Hochfersenapparates, welcher mit dem einen Ende bis zur Aussparung 5 geführt und in üblicher Weise in den Pfeilrichtungen P hin- und herschwenkbar angeordnet ist. Die Anordnung ist dabei so getroffen, dass dieser schwenkbare Fadenführer 3 in der gleichen Höhe in die Aussparung mündet wie das Fadenführungsrohr 7, welches das dritte Zusatzgarn P3 der Aussparung 5 zuführt. Die in der beschriebenen Weise ausgebildete Doppelzylinder-Plüschmaschine bietet die Möglichkeit, Plüschschlingen aus dem ersten Zusatzgarn P1 zu bilden, welches durch die Bohrung 4 geführt wird. Die wahlweise Zuführung des zweiten Zusatzgarnes P2 und die Bildung von entsprechenden Plüschschlingen erfolgt mittels des als Hochfersenapparat ausgebildeten schwenkbaren Fadenführers 3.Furthermore, a bore 4 is provided on the lower part of the apron 2 below the recess 5. With 8 a thread guide for the base yarn G is designated and with 3 another thread guide in the form of a high heel apparatus, which is guided with one end to the recess 5 and is arranged in the usual manner in the arrow directions P to pivot back and forth. The arrangement is such that this pivotable thread guide 3 opens into the recess 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 forming plush loops from the first additional yarn P1, which is guided through the bore 4. The optional feeding of the second additional yarn P2 and the formation of corresponding plush loops takes place by means of the pivotable thread guide 3 designed as a high heel device.

Um Plüschschlingen aus dem Zusatzgarn P3 zu bilden, wird die beschriebene gesteuerte Fadenführung mittels Pressluft verwendet, die eine sehr genaue Einstellung erlaubt, indem das Ende 7a der Rohrführung 7, aus welcher das Zusatzgarn P3 austritt, auf der gleichen Höhe wie der zusätzliche Fadenführer 3, aber gegen das Ende der Aussparung 5 hin versetzt positioniert wird. In dieser Weise wird vermieden, dass der zusätzliche Fadenführer 3 beim Einlegen gehindert wird.In order to form plush loops from the additional thread P3, the described controlled thread guidance by means of compressed air is used, which allows a very precise adjustment by the end 7a of the tube guide 7, from which the additional thread P3 emerges, at the same height as the additional thread guide 3, but is positioned offset towards the end of the recess 5. In this way it is avoided that the additional thread guide 3 is prevented from being inserted.

Mit der beschriebenen Einrichtung kann eine erfindungsgemässe Socke einfach und variationsreich hergestellt werden.With the device described, a sock according to the invention can be produced in a simple and varied manner.
