AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a special sock made of merino wool that absorbs moisture and is resistant to staining and odor. This sock is designed to improve movement and comfort for each toe. The merino wool fabric is also known for its natural properties, which make it great for absorbing moisture and keeping feet cool.

Problems solved by technology

However, none of them has been able to combine the benefits of merino wool without the cost implications by using the current technique.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]In the first embodiment according to FIG. 1 of the diagrams, it is illustrated a five finger sock in accordance with this disclosure. The diagram illustrates a sock body 1 with a five toe design. By keeping the toes separate, the design minimizes the amount of odor, bacterial and fungal buildup in the areas between the toes labeled 3. The sock is also characterized by am absorbent strategically targeted to the toe section 2 for added benefits. The strategic targeting is an improvement upon existing merino wool designs. Generally, the use of absorbent material in a sock is very useful in keeping the feet moist free and thus minimize the possibility of microbial growth. Merino wool has antimicrobial properties, as the natural lanolin in the sheep's wool repels odor-causing bacteria. Since merino wool manages moisture so well, there is no wet environment for that bacteria to grow.

[0022]When converted into fibre, merino wool is known to have very high absorbent / wicking properties,...

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]In general, the present invention relates to socks technology, and in particular a five finger sock which provides for a strategic merino wool absorbent in the toe sections.RELATED APPLICATIONS[0002]U.S. Ser. No. 10 / 492,543B2: Heated socks used to keep a wearer's feet and toes warm. The heated socks include pockets for oxygen-activated chemical heating pouches which generate heat when exposed to air and via friction caused by the wearer when walking, jumping, or other activities and distributed through the sock from toe to ankle to heel. The heated socks are provided with extra cushioning on the bottom of the feet to aid in comfort for the wearer. The heated socks also keep the feet dry from moisture and perspiration.[0003]U.S. Pat. No. 4,631,755A: The knitted clothing article has a nonfeltable base mesh layer. On the outside surface of said base mesh layer a yarn layer is knitted in a said base mesh and consisting of feltable textile fibres and forming loop ...
