[0040] Hereinafter, in order to fully understand the present invention, reference will be made to... Figures 1 to 5 Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described. The embodiments of the present invention can be modified in various ways and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention to the embodiments described in detail below. Therefore, the shapes of elements in the drawings may be exaggerated for emphasis. Note that the same structures are sometimes indicated by the same reference numerals in the various drawings. Detailed descriptions of well-known functions or structures that are thought to unnecessarily affect the gist of the invention will be omitted.

[0041] Figure 1 (a) and (b) are structural diagrams showing the state in which the anti-separation structure of the socks with hidden modules according to the present invention is fixed to the two socks respectively; Figure 2 (a) and (b) are front views illustrating the anti-separation structure of a sock with a concealed module according to the present invention; Figure 3 (a) and (b) are longitudinal sectional views showing the operational state of the anti-separation structure of the sock with a concealed module according to the invention; Figure 4 This is a longitudinal sectional view showing the state in which two socks are joined together by the anti-separation structure of the socks with hidden modules of the present invention. Figure 5 (a) and (b) are longitudinal sectional views showing the state in which the anti-separation structure of the socks with hidden modules of the present invention is hidden from the separation of the two socks.

[0042] refer to Figures 1 to 5, the sock with the hidden module according to the present application includes: left and right hidden modules 20a, 20b, which are fixed on one side of two socks 10a, 10b respectively, and are formed with one side open or closed access parts 22 respectively; and female and male snaps 30a, 30b, which are fixed in the center of the left and right hidden modules 20a, 20b respectively, and are exposed to the outside and combined in a mutually corresponding manner when the access parts 22 of the left and right hidden modules 20a, 20b perform an opening action, so that the two socks 10a, 10b become a pair.

[0043] That is, a pair of pocket parts 12 are formed on one side of the two socks 10a, 10b in a semilunar shape, so that the left and right hidden modules 20a, 20b are fixed to the sock surface (outer surface), and during the knitting of the socks, the pair of pocket parts 12 are formed in the area between the ankle position part A and the heel position part B on one side of the two socks 10a, 10b respectively, thereby minimizing the protruding volume of the left and right hidden modules 20a, 20b to the sock surface (outer surface).

[0044] The left and right hidden modules 20a, 20b are provided to correspond to the area of the pair of pocket parts 12, and are fixed to the sock surface (outer surface) by a circular adhesive tape 40, which is injection molded from a silicon material.

[0045] That is, the left and right hidden modules 20a, 20b include: a cap part 23, which is semilunar, with the female and male snaps 30a, 30b fixed in the center and supported so as to face outward, the cap part 23 being inserted into the pair of pocket parts 12 from the outside of the two socks 10a, 10b to deform in a shape that is recessed inward or protrudes outward; a cover part 24, which is a thin plate extending inward from the surface edge of the cap part 23 and simultaneously linked according to the shape change of the cap part 23 to open or close the female and male snaps 30a, 30b supported by the cap part 23 to the outside; and an edge part 26, which extends outward from the edge where the cap part 23 and the cover part 24 are connected, and is formed with a plurality of through holes 25, the edge part 26 being attached to the edge of the sock surface (outer surface) that forms a boundary with the pair of pocket parts 12.

[0046] At this time, the cap part 23 is formed in a way that the cross-sectional thickness from the center to the edge is thinned, so that the cap part 23 is easily deformed in a shape that is recessed inward or protrudes outward by pressing force.

[0047] The cover portion 24 is formed in a certain thickness at the edge of the cap portion 23 and is divided in a trisection or a multiple section to open or close the access portion 22.

[0048] The plurality of through holes 25 are formed in a circular shape at a certain interval along the circumferential direction of the outer edge portion 26.

[0049] The outer edge portion 26 is formed in a circular band shape in a manner corresponding to the area of the adhesive tape 40.

[0050] The back surface of the adhesive tape 40 is coated with an adhesive to be attached in a manner corresponding to the area of the outer edge portion 26 and is partially attached to the edge of the surface (the outer surface) of the sock forming a boundary with the pair of pocket portions 12 through the plurality of through holes 25, so that the left and right hidden modules 20a and 20b are fixed to the pair of pocket portions 12 of the two socks 10a and 10b.

[0051] In the thus configured present application, as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 1, Figure 1 In order to combine the two socks 10a and 10b into a pair by using the left hidden module 20a or the right hidden module 20b fixed to the pocket portion 12 (the area formed between the ankle position portion A and the heel position portion B of the two socks 10a and 10b) respectively, first, in the state shown in (b) of FIG. 1, Figure 3 When the cap portion 23 of the left hidden module 20a or the right hidden module 20b is pressed backward at the rear portion thereof in the direction of the arrow respectively, the cover portion 24 integrally formed at the edge of the cap portion 23 is opened while being spread in a radial shape, and at the same time, the female snap 30a or the male snap 30b supported at the center of the cap portion 23 is moved forward by a certain distance and exposed to the outside, as shown in (a) of FIG. 2, Figure 3

[0052] When the two socks 10a and 10b are combined into a pair by mutually approaching the two socks 10a and 10b in a manner corresponding to each other while combining the female snap 30a and the male snap 30b in a manner corresponding to each other, as shown in (b) of FIG. 1, the two socks 10a and 10b are connected into a pair, and thus, the two socks 10a and 10b are not separated during washing, drying, and storage of the two socks 10a and 10b, so that it is possible to prevent the inconvenience of confirming or searching for the other one of the two socks 10a and 10b one by one in advance. Figure 4

[0053] On the other hand, when the two socks 10a and 10b are separated and worn, as shown in (a) to (c) of FIG. 3, Figure 3 Figure 3 ​​​As shown in (b), the cap 23 of the left hidden module 20a or the right hidden module 20b is pressed inward, thereby turning it over in a concave shape. Based on the shape change of the cap 23 after it is turned over, the cover 24 integrally formed on the edge of the cap 23 is folded towards the center of the cap 23 to close the access portion 22. Therefore, the female snap 30a or male snap 30b supported in the center of the cap 23 can be prevented from being exposed to the outside.

[0054] That is, such as Figure 5 As shown in (a) and (b), when the entry / exit portions 22 of the left hidden module 20a and the right hidden module 20b of the pocket portion 12 of the two socks 10a and 10b are closed, the female snap and the male snap 30a and 30b are covered by the cover portions 24 of the left and right hidden modules 20a and 20b, respectively, and are not exposed to the outside. Therefore, it has the advantage of being able to prevent chafing that may occur due to the T-shaped protrusions formed on the female snap 30a and the male snap 30b coming into contact with the skin of the opposite ankle or pilling that may occur due to contact with clothing.

[0055] Furthermore, the left and right hidden modules 20a and 20b are inserted and fixed in accordance with the crescent-shaped pocket portion 12 formed in the area between the ankle bone position portion A and the heel position portion B according to the height of the protrusion of the ankle bone in the human body. They are injection molded from silicone material, so they have a volumetric feel caused by the setting area of ​​the left and right hidden modules 20a and 20b. Moreover, in terms of the properties of silicone material, it not only has a soft touch, but also does not have any discomfort caused by its composition to irritate the skin.

[0056] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but can be implemented with modifications and variations without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the technical ideas of such modifications and variations should also be considered to fall within the scope of the claims.
