Energy-enhanced health-promoting sock structure

Abstract

An energy-enhanced health-promoting sock structure is disclosed, wherein a sock body is provided with an energy-generating material that is distributed on at least one surface of the sock body at different densities and over different extents in accordance with a distribution density of acupuncture points on a human foot and requirements in selecting the acupuncture points on the foot, so that stimulating and conducting effects of various strengths can be produced at different meridians and acupuncture points of the foot. In addition, the sock body remains perfectly soft in areas that need not produce such effects and therefore provides a more comfortable wearing experience.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present invention relates to a sock structure, and more particularly, to an energy-enhanced health-promoting sock structure, wherein a sock body is provided with an energy-generating material that is distributed on at least one surface of the sock body at different densities and over different extents in accordance with a distribution density of acupuncture points on a human foot and requirements in selecting the acupuncture points on the foot, so that stimulating and conducting effects of various strengths can be produced at different meridians and acupuncture points of the foot. In addition, the sock body remains perfectly soft in areas that need not produce such effects and therefore provides a more comfortable wearing experience.[0003]2.

Benefits of technology

[0006]A primary objective of the present invention is to design an energy-enhanced health-promoting sock structure which can be more comfortably worn and is configured to better conform to the physical therapy principles of traditional Chinese medicine. More particularly, a sock body is provided with an energy-generating material (comprising a negative electromagnetic energy-generating material, a positive electromagnetic energy-generating material, or a mineral having energy), wherein the energy-generating material is distributed over a large extent and / or in a great quantity on parts of the sock body corresponding in position to areas of the foot where acupuncture points are densely distributed, and over a small extent and / or in a small quantity on parts of the sock body corresponding in position to areas of the foot where acupuncture points are sparsely distributed. Thus, energy level effects of sufficient but varied strengths can be generated in different areas of the foot to facilitate the conduction of qi and blood, increase the momentum for qi and blood transportation, and thereby improve the circulation of qi and blood.

[0007]Another objective of the present invention is to apply an energy-generating material to an article of clothing only in areas corresponding in position to acupuncture points that need to be acted upon, whereas other areas of the article of clothing corresponding in position to acupuncture point that need not be acted upon are provided with a reduced quantity of, or not provided at all with, the energy-generating material, thereby satisfying the requirements of physical therapy in traditional Chinese medicine, overcoming the problem that the article of clothing might have a less pleasing texture due to the application of the energy-generating material, and reducing the overall production cost.

[0008]A further objective of the present invention is to apply an energy-generating material, in the form of a coating material or an adhesive material, to a surface of a sock body at a very small thickness, so that the applied area is allowed to remain sufficiently soft and will not press too hard on or even irritate a user's skin when the sock body is worn, thereby giving the user a more comfortable wearing experience.

Problems solved by technology

Stressful lifestyles and lack of proper exercise and relaxation lead to a variety of diseases of civilization.

Therefore, illnesses may take place wherever the circulation is congested.

Although the final product can be conveniently worn, the particles may make a wearer uncomfortable if they are not distributed uniformly over the entire product.

On the other hand, an overly dense distribution of the particles may reduce the overall softness of the product and restrict the design and application thereof.

In this case, however, the production cost is higher and, in order to satisfy users' need of a comfortable feel on the body, the materials used to make the objects themselves tend to limit the application, and impair the strength, of the final products, thereby leaving much room for improvement.

Moreover, the foregoing two designs are suitable for comprehensive application of the energy-generating element, and yet the acupuncture points on the foot are not distributed uniformly over the entire foot.
