Benefits of technology

"The present invention is about a special sock that has an energy-generating material distributed on certain parts of the sock to promote better health. The energy-generating material can be a negative or positive electromagnetic energy-generating material, or a mineral with energy. By wearing this sock, the energy level can be increased in areas of the foot where acupuncture points are densely distributed, and decreased in areas where they are sparsely distributed. This can help to improve the circulation of qi and blood, and promote better health. The sock can also have a reduced amount of energy-generating material in areas where it is not needed, to avoid discomfort or skin irritation. Additionally, the energy-generating material can be applied to the sock in a very thin coating or adhesive, making it comfortable to wear."

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.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]FIGS. 1 to 3 illustrate distributions of acupuncture points 11 (shown as black dots) on a human foot 10. As mentioned earlier, the acupuncture points 11 are densely distributed in certain areas (such as a forward dorsal portion and a lateral side) of the foot 10, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, and sparsely distributed in other areas of the foot 10 (such as the ankle and a central portion of the sole), as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

[0019]Referring to FIGS. 4 to 6, the present invention comprises a sock body 20, wherein an energy-generating material,.30 (including a negative electromagnetic energy-generating material, a positive electromagnetic energy-generating material, or a mineral or mineral powder having energy) is printed, coated or adhered on predetermined surface areas of the sock body 20. The extent to which and the quantity in which the energy-generating material 30 is distributed on the sock body 20 depend on and correspond to the extent to which and the density at which the ...

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. Description of Related Art[0004]People in a modern society live a busy life. Stressful lifestyles and lack of proper exercise and relaxation lead to a variety of diseases of civilizati...
