Abstract
A foot sock for envelopment about the foot of an individual, the sock formed with a 2-ply sole thereby defining a chamber between the first upper ply and the second lower ply, one of the plies being formed with a reinforced slit transverse to the axis of the sole of the sock, the reinforced slit allowing for the insertion of an orthotic into the chamber between the first and second fabric plies of the sole. The reinforced slit can be made either in the upper interior ply requiring the sock to be turned inside out in order to insert the orthotic or the slit can be made in the lower outer ply allowing the orthotic to be inserted without the requirement of turning the sock inside out.
Description
- Applicant claims the benefit of provisional application Ser. No. 61/131,356, filed Jun. 9, 2008.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to socks and to orthopedic foot pads commonly referred to as orthotics, and in particular to a sock which is formed with a pocket which allows the orthotic to be inserted into the sole of the sock.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Orthopedic foot pads, or orthotics, are required by many people for a variety of maladies. They may be required for people with Planters Facia, or other foot problems to help relieve the pain. Still further, they are oftentimes required for orthopedic situations far removed from the foot, such as aiding the individual in the proper alignment of the foot and leg in order to relieve either knee pain, hip pain, or even back pain.
- The orthotic is normally fabricated by a professional who can shape the orthotic to the shape of the sole of the individual's foot, and to fabricate the proper curvatures in order to alleviate or lessen the pain associated with one of the aforementioned problems. However, generic orthotics are available over the counter to provide cushioning to the foot or arch support. The orthotic is typically inserted into the shoe of the individual before the individual positions his or her foot within the shoe. In an ideal situation, the orthotic will fit snugly within the shoe and not slide around or become mispositioned as the individual walks about. However, most people wear a variety of different shoes, and therefore the orthotic is used in a variety of different shoes and may not always fit as snugly as desired. In such a situation, the individual normally has to remove the shoe to reorient the orthotic before replacing the shoe back on one's foot. Applicant's sock with an orthotic pocket maintains the orthotic in position relative to the individual's foot sole and if the orthotic requires realignment, the individual does not have to remove the shoe, but merely pull up on the ankle portion of the sock to correctly realign the orthotic.
- An object of the present invention is to provide for a novel sock having a pocket on the sole of the sock for the receipt of an orthotic.
- A still further object of the present invention is to provide for a novel sock in which the sole of the sock is of two-ply construction, one ply having a reinforced slit for the insertion of an orthotic.
- A still further object of the present invention is to provide for a novel sock for the receipt of an orthotic wherein the reinforced slit for the insertion of the orthotic is on the upper ply of the sole of the sock such that the sock is turned inside out in order to insert the orthotic.
- A still further object of the present invention is to provide for a novel sock for receipt of an orthotic wherein the reinforced slit is formed on the lower ply of the sole of the sock allowing for the insertion of the orthotic.
- A still further object of the present invention is to provide for a novel sock having a pocket for the receipt of an orthotic which allows the individual to realign the orthotic to its correct position by pulling up on the ankle portion of the sock and not having to remove one's shoes.
- A still further object of the present invention is to provide for a novel sock having an orthotic pocket for receipt of an orthotic which will maintain the orthotic in its desired position or orientation as opposed to inserting the orthotic independently into the shoe.
- A still further object of the present invention is to provide for a sock with an orthotic pocket for the receipt of an orthotic which allows an individual to gain the benefit of the orthotic when not wearing shoes by allowing the individual to walk around in his or her socks with the orthotic in place.
- A foot sock for envelopment about the foot of an individual, the sock formed with a 2-ply sole thereby defining a chamber between the first upper ply and the second lower ply, one of the plies being formed with a reinforced slit transverse to the axis of the sole of the sock, the reinforced slit allowing for the insertion of an orthotic into the chamber between the first and second fabric plies of the sole. The reinforced slit can be made either in the upper interior ply requiring the sock to be turned inside out in order to insert the orthotic or the slit can be made in the lower outer ply allowing the orthotic to be inserted without the requirement of turning the sock inside out.
- These and other objects of the present invention will become apparent, particularly when taken in light of the following illustrations wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of the prior art illustrating an individual's foot, an orthotic, and a shoe; -
FIG. 2 is a side cross-sectional view of one embodiment of a sock of the present invention; -
FIG. 3 is a side cross-sectional view of a second embodiment of a sock of the present invention; -
FIG. 4 is a top cross-sectional view of one embodiment of the sock of the present invention; -
FIG. 5 is a side cross-sectional view of a sock of the present invention with the orthotic in place; and -
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional side view of a sock of the present invention for use with a rigid orthotic. -
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a typical arrangement of a shoe and an orthotic of the prior art. The orthotic 10, whether it be a generic flexible orthotic purchased over the counter to provide cushioning for the foot or arch support, or whether it be a rigid prescription orthotic fabricated to fit the individual's sole of the foot, it is inserted into theshoe 12. Since individuals wear a variety of different shoes, the orthotic 10 itself may not always fit within theshoe 12 in the same manner as it fits within other shoes worn by the individual. Once the orthotic 10 is in place in theshoe 12, the individual inserts hisfoot 14 into the shoe orienting the sole 16 of thefoot 14 on the orthotic 10. Theshoe 12 itself may be a slip on or a lace shoe which would require the user to lace the shoe once he had obtained the correct orientation of the orthotic. - In this situation, if the orthotic 10 and the sole of the
foot 14 become misoriented, it requires the individual to remove theshoe 12, adjust the orthotic 10, and then reinsert thefoot 14. Still further,FIG. 1 illustrates a full foot orthotic which is designed to abut the full sole of thefoot 14 and therefore when inserted in ashoe 12, normally has less chance of becoming misoriented with respect to thefoot 14. In many instances there are half orthotics which only are concerned with providing support or pain relief to the heel portion of the foot. These orthotics can become misoriented much easier than a full orthotic, particularly when the individual is inserting the foot into the shoe containing the orthotic. Applicant's invention would have application to both of these situations. -
FIG. 2 illustrates theorthotic sock 20 of the present invention. It is a cross-sectional side view comprised of a series of panels which are sewn together resulting in a unitaryorthotic sock 20 which covers thefoot 14 and at least a portion of theankle 18. Theorthotic sock 20 comprises anankle portion 22 which normally would have anelastic ankle band 24 at itsupper terminus 26. Theorthotic sock 20 is further comprised of afoot portion 28 designed to encapsulate thefoot 14. Thefoot encapsulating portion 28 is formed with asole member 30 which is comprised of two plies, a firstupper ply 32 and a secondlower ply 34, firstupper ply 32 and secondlower ply 34 defining achamber 36 between the plies. Thischamber 36 between the firstupper ply 32 and the secondlower ply 34 is for the receipt of an orthotic 10. In the embodiment illustrated inFIG. 2 , there is aslit 38 transverse to the axis of the sock and formed midway between thetoe portion 40 and theheel portion 42.Slit 38 is made in the firstupper ply 32 and is reinforced withstitching 44 on both sides. The individual's access toslit 38 is obtained by turning the sock ofFIG. 2 inside out. Once turned inside out, the individual can take a flexible orthotic 10 identical or similar to that as illustrated inFIG. 1 and insert the toe portion of the orthotic throughslit 38 and into thechamber 36 formed by firstupper ply 32 and secondupper ply 34 until the toe portion of the orthotic abuts the toe end ofchamber 36. The individual would then fold the flexible orthotic so as to insert the heel portion of the orthotic throughslit 38 and extend the heel portion of the orthotic inchamber 36 until the heel portion of the orthotic abuts the heel terminus ofchamber 36. The individual would then reverse the inside out procedure to return the sock to its normal orientation. The individual could then insert hisfoot 14 into theorthotic sock 20, the foot being in alignment with the orthotic 10 and separated from the orthotic by the firstupper ply 32 of thesole member 30 of theorthotic sock 20. The individual would then insert his foot containing the sock and the encapsulated orthotic into the individual's shoe of choice. Thefoot 14, and the orthotic 10, both encapsulated by theorthotic sock 20, are then free to move in unison and orient themselves naturally with no slippage as identified in the prior art. In fact, this method is more beneficial to the individual in that he can still wear the orthotic 10 even if he has removed his shoes in that theorthotic sock 20 will maintain the orthotic 10 in the proper orientation to the sole of thefoot 14. -
FIG. 3 is a second embodiment of theorthotic sock 20 of the present invention. It is identical to the first embodiment as illustrated inFIG. 2 , with the exception that theslit 38A and the reinforcedstitching 44A associated therewith for allowing the insertion of the orthotic 10 into thechamber 36 formed between firstupper ply 32 and secondlower ply 34 is now formed in the secondlower ply 34 thereby negating the need to turn the sock inside out in order to insert the orthotic 10. - In this embodiment the individual inserts the orthotic 10 in the same manner as accomplished in
FIG. 2 without the need for turning the sock inside out. Once the orthotic is positioned inchamber 36 between firstupper ply 32 and secondlower ply 34, the individual merely inserts his foot into the shoe of choice and gains the same benefits as enjoyed by the individual utilizing the embodiment as illustrated inFIG. 2 . As withFIG. 2 , the embodiment illustrated inFIG. 3 allows the individual to wear the orthotic 10 even when his foot is not within a shoe. -
FIG. 4 is a planar view which more clearly identifies the relationship between the firstupper ply 32, secondlower ply 34, and slit 38. For explanatory purposes,FIG. 4 is an illustration of the plies as illustrated inFIG. 2 . Firstupper ply 32 is sewn around its periphery 46 to secondlower ply 34 so as to form thechamber 36 as illustrated inFIG. 2 . Theslit 38 is made in firstupper ply 32 approximately midway between the toe terminus and the heel terminus.Slit 38 is secured by reinforcedstitching 44 on both sides of the slit. -
FIG. 5 is a side cross-sectional view of theorthotic sock 20 of the present invention illustrating the orthotic inserted and positioned therein.FIG. 5 illustrates the embodiment ofFIG. 3 wherein theslit 38A is formed in the secondlower ply 34 of the sole of the sock. The orthotic 10 has been inserted intochamber 36 such that the firstupper ply 32 is positioned between the orthotic 10 and the bottom or sole of the individual'sfoot 14, which is now encapsulated by the sock portion. The individual could walk around without shoes in this illustration and still have the benefit of the orthotic 10 cooperative with the individual'sfoot 14. The individual could also take his foot with the sock and/or orthotic positioned as shown and insert it into theshoe 12 of choice. The orthotic 10 will be maintained in position because it is encapsulated within thechamber 36 of theorthotic sock 20 and the individual'sfoot 14 will remain in position and oriented with the orthotic 10 more easily that that of the prior art since it is also encapsulated by the same sock. Should any misorientation or slippage occur, the individual is not required to remove his or her shoe in order to correct the orientation, but rather can pull up on theankle portion 22 of theorthotic sock 20, without removing theshoe 12 in order to bring tautness to the sock as it relates to the foot which is encapsulated and to the orthotic which is encapsulated. -
FIGS. 2 through 5 are illustrative of anorthotic sock 20 for use with a flexible orthotic for the full foot or with respect to a partial orthotic, such as for the heel. In those instances where an individual is prescribed a full orthotic of rigid construction, theslit 38 may transverse to the axis of the foot and midway between the toe and the heel may present difficulty in inserting the orthotic as previously described. In those instances, aslit 38B may be formed in either of the firstupper ply 32 or the secondlower ply 34 proximate the heel portion of the orthotic sock which would allow for the rigid orthotic to be positioned withinchamber 36 more easily. - Therefore, while the present invention has been disclosed with respect to the preferred embodiments thereof, it will be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It is therefore manifestly intended that the invention be limited only by the claims and the equivalence thereof.
