[0041]The sock of the present invention is now explained in further detail on the basis of examples. FIG. 1 is a drawing illustrating a sock of the present invention viewed from the side.

[0042]Sock S of this example is an ankle-length sock with a sock opening H and an opening welt K positioned in the vicinity of the ankle of the wearer. An elastic welt 1, which suitably tightens around the periphery of the ankle due to rubber yarns embedded in knitted ground yarns, is knitted into the opening welt K.

[0043]Reference Numeral 2 is an ankle portion, and in the ankle-length sock of this example, the vertical length thereof is extremely short.

[0044]The most characteristic feature of the present invention is that a compression area 7 with high elasticity and high compressive force is disposed in an area extending from behind an arch portion T to an Achilles tendon portion A above a heel portion 10 in a diagonal direction from the lower left to the upper right, when the sock S is viewed fro...

Abstract

An ankle length sock having an opening welt positioned in the vicinity of an ankle of a wearer, and having an elastic welt provided at the opening welt is provided. The sock may include a compression area with high elasticity and high compressive force disposed laterally in a diagonal direction in an area extending from behind an arch portion to an Achilles tendon portion above a heel portion. A size control course with a knitted fabric increased by 4-20 courses may be disposed between the compression area and the heel portion. An additional pocket may be interknit with 2-24 courses by reverse knitting, repeatedly alternating normal rotation and reverse rotation of the circular knitting machine cylinder, at a position on the sole portion side between the size control course and the compression area.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims priority to Japanese Patent Application Number 2008-053658 filed Mar. 4, 2008, the entirety of which is hereby incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to a sock and a process for the production thereof. It is an object of the present invention to prevent slipping of a heel side of an elastic welt disposed at an opening of a sock, particularly in an ankle-length sock.BACKGROUND ART[0003]When wearing sneakers or pumps, or when wearing athletic shoes such as tennis shoes, an ankle-length sock is used which has an opening welt positioned in the vicinity of the ankle of the wearer. In an ankle-length sock, the leg portion is short, and the leg portion and an elastic welt are hidden inside the shoe, or are only slightly visible when the shoe is worn, and this is desirable from the standpoint of fashion. It should be noted that in ankle-length socks, the position corresponding to the “leg portion”...
