[0006] Technical problem to be solved by the invention

[0007] However, in the above-mentioned wearing devices such as socks, the fastening force of the fastening part on the upper side of the covering part covering any one of the heel, knee and elbow prevents the socks from shifting or falling off during walking, exercise and other movements when worn. If the fastening force is too strong, it may sometimes cause marks on the skin after wearing, and cause the wearing feel to be reduced, such as the tightness is uncomfortable. Therefore, in recent years, there has been a demand for wearing devices that can prevent the socks from shifting or falling off during walking, exercise and other movements when worn, and that provide a good wearing feel without being too tight.

[0008] The technical problem of the present invention is to provide a wearing device that can prevent displacement and slipping off during walking, exercise, etc. when worn and has a good wearing feeling without being too tight.

[0009] Solutions for solving technical problems

[0010] The wearable device according to the first aspect of the present invention comprises a covering portion, a first barrel portion and a second barrel portion. The covering portion covers any one of the heel, knee and elbow when worn. The first barrel portion extends from the end of the first side of the covering portion to the first side and is in the shape of a barrel. The second barrel portion extends from the end of the second side of the covering portion that is different from the first side to the second side and is in the shape of a barrel, and is continuous with the first barrel portion via the covering portion. In addition, the first barrel portion has a first winding portion and a first low-elasticity portion. The first winding portion is wound around the first barrel portion and is woven from a first face yarn and a first inner yarn having a higher friction coefficient than the first face yarn. It should be noted that "winding" means forming along the circumference of a certain portion, and can be formed in a ring-shaped manner without a gap, or in a ring-shaped manner with more than one gap. The first low-elasticity portion is woven in the first winding portion and is low-elasticity compared to the first winding portion.

[0011] According to the above configuration, when the wearable device is a pair of shoes and socks (registered trademark) such as sports socks (SNEAKER SOCKS), socks, etc., which have a height covering the ankle, that is, there is no footwear and socks covering the area above the ankle (hereinafter referred to as "ankle-height footwear and socks"), the covering portion covers the heel when worn, the first tube covers the ankle, and the second tube covers the instep and bottom of the foot. Moreover, when worn, the first tube fastens the ankle through the first low-elasticity portion of the first tube, and the first tube is in a state where it is difficult to slide relative to the ankle through the first lining yarn with a relatively high friction coefficient of the first winding portion of the first tube. In addition, when the wearable device is a knee pad, when worn, the covering portion covers the knee, the first tube covers the upper part of the knee, and the second tube covers the lower part of the knee. Moreover, when worn, the first tube fastens the upper part of the knee through the first low-elasticity portion of the first tube, and the first tube is in a state where it is difficult to slide relative to the upper part of the knee through the first lining yarn with a relatively high friction coefficient of the first winding portion of the first tube. In addition, when the wearable device is an elbow guard, the covering portion covers the elbow when worn, the first tube portion covers the upper part of the elbow, and the second tube portion covers the lower part of the elbow. Moreover, when worn, the first tube portion fastens the upper part of the elbow through the first low-elasticity portion of the first tube portion, and the first tube portion is in a state that is difficult to slide relative to the upper part of the elbow through the first lining yarn with a relatively high friction coefficient of the first winding portion of the first tube portion. It should be noted that, here, the fastening force of the first low-elasticity portion of the first tube portion can be made weaker than the fastening force of the fastening portion in the previous wearable device. Therefore, through this wearable device, it is possible to prevent the wearable device from shifting or falling off during walking, exercise, etc. when worn, and it is possible to provide a good wearing feeling without being too tight.

[0012] The wearing device according to a second aspect of the present invention is the wearing device according to the first aspect, wherein the friction coefficient of the inner side of the first wrapping portion is higher than that of the inner side of the covering portion, and the first low-elasticity portion is less elastic than the covering portion.

[0013] According to the above structure, it is possible to further prevent the wearer from shifting or falling off during walking, exercising, and the like when the wearer is wearing the wearer.

[0014] A wearing device according to a third aspect of the present invention is the wearing device according to the second aspect, wherein the first low-elasticity portion is formed by inserting a raised yarn.

[0015] The raised yarn is a yarn with high elasticity and flexibility, and for example, wool nylon is preferably used. According to the above-mentioned structure, it is possible to further prevent the wearer from shifting or falling off during actions such as walking and exercising when wearing the wearer.

[0016] The fourth aspect of the present invention relates to a wearing device according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the second barrel portion has a second winding portion and a second low-elasticity portion. The second winding portion is wound around the second barrel portion and is knitted from a second face yarn and a second back yarn having a higher friction coefficient than the second face yarn. The second low-elasticity portion is knitted in the second winding portion and is less elastic than the second winding portion.

[0017] According to the above configuration, when the wearing device is an ankle-height footwear, when the wearing device is worn, the second tube fastens the instep side and the bottom side of the foot through the second low-elasticity portion of the second tube, and the second tube is in a state that is difficult to slide relative to the instep side and the bottom side of the foot through the second lining yarn with a relatively high friction coefficient of the second winding portion of the second tube. In addition, when the wearing device is a knee pad, when the wearing device is worn, the second tube fastens the lower part of the knee through the second low-elasticity portion of the second tube, and the second tube is in a state that is difficult to slide relative to the lower part of the knee through the second lining yarn with a relatively high friction coefficient of the second winding portion of the second tube. In addition, when the wearing device is an elbow pad, when the wearing device is worn, the second tube fastens the lower part of the elbow through the second low-elasticity portion of the second tube, and the second tube is in a state that is difficult to slide relative to the lower part of the elbow through the second lining yarn with a relatively high friction coefficient of the second winding portion of the second tube. It should be noted that, here, the fastening force of the second low-elasticity portion of the second tube can be made weaker than the fastening force of the fastening portion in the conventional wearing device. Therefore, the wearing device can further prevent the wearer from shifting or falling off during walking, exercising, or the like when the wearer is wearing the wearer, and can provide a good wearing feeling without being too tight.

[0018] The wearing device according to claim 5 is the wearing device according to claim 4, wherein the friction coefficient of the inner side of the second wrapping portion is higher than that of the inner side of the covering portion, and the second low-elasticity portion is less elastic than the covering portion.

[0019] According to the above structure, it is possible to further prevent the wearer from shifting or falling off during walking, exercising, and the like when the wearer is wearing the wearer.

[0020] A wearing device according to claim 6 of the present invention is the wearing device according to claim 5 , wherein the second low-elasticity portion is formed by inserting the raised yarn.

[0021] The raised yarn is a yarn with high elasticity and flexibility, and for example, wool nylon is preferably used. According to the above-mentioned structure, it is possible to further prevent the wearer from shifting or falling off during actions such as walking and exercising when wearing the wearer.

[0022] The seventh aspect of the present invention is a wearing device according to the first or second aspect, further comprising a through hole formed on the side of the first tube opposite to the second tube and knitted with a third yarn having a higher friction coefficient than the first yarn.

[0023] According to the above configuration, when the wearing device is an ankle-height footwear, the third veil with a relatively high friction coefficient of the through-mouth is in a state where it is difficult to slide relative to the ankle (more specifically, the upper part of the part of the ankle covered by the first tube) when the wearing device is worn. In addition, when the wearing device is a knee pad, when the wearing device is worn, the third veil with a relatively high friction coefficient of the through-mouth is in a state where it is difficult to slide relative to the upper part of the knee (more specifically, the upper part of the part of the upper part of the knee covered by the first tube) when the wearing device is worn. In addition, when the wearing device is an elbow pad, when the wearing device is worn, the third veil with a relatively high friction coefficient of the through-mouth is in a state where it is difficult to slide relative to the upper part of the elbow (more specifically, the upper part of the part of the upper part of the elbow covered by the first tube) when the wearing device is worn. Therefore, with this wearing device, it is possible to further prevent the wearing device from shifting or falling off during walking, exercise, or other actions when worn.

[0046] <Configuration of Wearing Device According to Embodiment of the Present Invention>

[0047] The wearing device according to the embodiment of the present invention is a wearing device that is worn on at least the foot or the arm, such as ankle-high shoes and socks, knee pads, elbow pads, and the like.

[0048] First embodiment

[0049] As an example of the wearing device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, there can be mentioned: Figure 1 The ankle-height footwear 1 shown. The ankle-height footwear 1 will be described in detail below.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the ankle-height footwear 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is hook-shaped in a side view, and is mainly composed of a toe cover 100, a foot cover 110, a heel cover 120, an ankle cover 130, and a sock opening 140. These parts will be described in detail below.

[0051] It should be noted that for the sake of convenience, Figure 1 The up-down direction and the front-back direction are defined in . In the following, these directions are sometimes used to explain the ankle height footwear 1.

[0052] (1) Toe cover

[0053] The toe tip covering portion 100 is a bag-shaped portion for covering the toe tip. Figure 1 As shown, it extends forward from the front end of the foot covering portion 110. In addition, the toe covering portion 100 is woven from a stretchable fabric. The stretchable fabric can be woven from natural yarns such as cotton, linen, wool, silk, or synthetic yarns such as nylon and polyester, or blended yarns thereof.

[0054] (2) Foot covering

[0055] The foot covering portion 110 is a cylindrical portion for covering the instep and bottom of the foot. Figure 1 As shown, it extends rearward from the rear end of the toe cover portion 100 (extends forward from the front end of the heel cover portion 120 ), and is continuous with the ankle cover portion 130 via the heel cover portion 120 .

[0056] In addition, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the foot covering portion 110 is formed with a front wrapping portion 111 and a front low elastic portion 112, and the portion of the foot covering portion 110 where the front wrapping portion 111 and the front low elastic portion 112 are not formed is woven with a highly elastic fabric (described above). Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the front side winding portion 111 is wound around the foot covering portion 110. It should be noted that the front side winding portion 111 can be wound around the foot covering portion 110 in a ring shape without a gap, or in a ring shape with more than one gap. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper portion of the front winding portion 111 is connected to the front portion of the upper winding portion 131 of the ankle covering portion 130. In addition, the front winding portion 111 is woven from a face yarn and a lining yarn. The face yarn is, for example, natural yarn such as cotton, linen, wool, silk, or synthetic yarn such as nylon, polyester, or a blended yarn thereof. The lining yarn is a yarn having a higher coefficient of friction than that of the face yarn, such as split fiber yarn, polyurethane, NANOFRONT (ナノフロント) (registered trademark), Crimpal (クリンパル) (registered trademark), etc. As a result, the friction coefficient of the inner side (skin side) of the front winding portion 111 is higher than that of the inner side (skin side) of the heel covering portion 120. As shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the front low elasticity portion 112 is knitted in the front winding portion 111 (inner region). It should be noted that the front low elasticity portion 112 can be knitted in the center of the front winding portion 111 (refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 ), it can also be woven in the front of the front winding portion 111, or it can be woven in the back of the front winding portion 111. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , the front low elastic part 112 is wound around the front winding part 111 in a ring shape with a notch at the instep side of the foot, but it can also be wound around the front winding part 111 in a ring shape with one or more notches other than the instep side of the foot. That is, the front low elastic part 112 only needs to be woven in the front winding part 111, and can be woven in various shapes and forms. In addition, as Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown, the upper end of the front low-elasticity portion 112 (i.e., the end on the side where the notch on the instep side of the foot is formed) is connected to the front end of the upper low-elasticity portion 132 of the ankle covering portion 130 (i.e., the end on the side where the notch on the front side of the ankle is formed). Moreover, the front low-elasticity portion 112 is formed to suppress stretching by inserting a raised yarn in the face yarn or the back yarn, and is low-elasticity compared to the front winding portion 111 and the heel covering portion 120. The face yarn is, for example, natural yarn such as cotton, linen, wool, silk, or synthetic yarn such as nylon, polyester, or a blended yarn thereof. The back yarn is a yarn with a higher friction coefficient than the face yarn, such as split yarn, polyurethane, NANOFRONT (registered trademark), Crimpal (registered trademark), etc. The raised yarn is a yarn with high elasticity and softness, for example, wool nylon, etc. is preferably used. It should be noted that, as other knitting methods, it is also possible to use tuck knitting, reduce the stitch density, insert elastic cord, or combine these methods, so that the front low-elasticity portion 112 is low-elasticity compared to the front winding portion 111 and the heel covering portion 120. In addition, when the raised yarn is inserted, it is preferred that the raised yarn spreads over the inner side of the front low-elasticity portion 112, that is, the skin side, and the length of the raised yarn that spreads over the skin side is preferably a length to the extent that the fingers do not hook the raised yarn when worn. It should be noted that the length of the raised yarn can be appropriately adjusted in combination with the age, gender, physique, etc. of the wearer. In the case where the raised yarn is not cut at the place where it spreads over the skin side, the stretching is further limited, which can well prevent the wearer from shifting or falling off during walking, exercise, and other actions when worn. When the raised yarn is cut at the part where it reaches the skin side, the elasticity is appropriately maintained, so that the wearing comfort can be improved by appropriate tightening, and the movement and slipping off during walking, exercise, etc. can be prevented. In addition, when the length of the raised yarn is longer than the width of the finger, the raised yarn can be cut at the part where it reaches, so that the finger can be prevented from being caught on the raised yarn. In addition, by reducing the stitch density around the raised yarn, the stretching is suppressed, and the movement and slipping off during walking, exercise, etc. can be well prevented, and the raised yarn can be prevented from falling off.

[0057] (3) Heel cover

[0058] The heel covering portion 120 is used to cover the heel. Figure 1As shown, it extends (bulges) from the rear end of the foot covering portion 110 to the rear side and is knitted with a highly elastic fabric (described above). In addition, as described above, the friction coefficient of the inner side (skin side) of the heel covering portion 120 is lower than that of the inner side (skin side) of the front side wrapping portion 111, and the heel covering portion 120 is highly elastic compared to the front side low elastic portion 112. In addition, as will be described later, the friction coefficient of the inner side (skin side) of the heel covering portion 120 is lower than that of the inner side (skin side) of the upper side wrapping portion 131, and the heel covering portion 120 is highly elastic compared to the upper side low elastic portion 132.

[0059] (4) Ankle cover

[0060] The ankle covering portion 130 is a cylindrical portion for covering the ankle. Figure 1 As shown, it extends upward from the upper end of the heel covering portion 120 and is continuous with the foot covering portion 110 via the heel covering portion 120 .

[0061] In addition, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the ankle covering portion 130 is formed with an upper wrapping portion 131 and an upper low elastic portion 132, and the portion of the ankle covering portion 130 where the upper wrapping portion 131 and the upper low elastic portion 132 are not formed is knitted with a highly elastic fabric (described above). Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper winding portion 131 is wound around the ankle covering portion 130. It should be noted that the upper winding portion 131 can be wound around the ankle covering portion 130 in a ring-shaped manner without a gap, or can be wound around the ankle covering portion 130 in a ring-shaped manner with more than one gap. As described above, the front portion of the upper winding portion 131 is connected to the upper portion of the front winding portion 111 of the foot covering portion 110. In addition, the upper winding portion 131 is woven from a face yarn and a lining yarn. The face yarn is, for example, natural yarn such as cotton, linen, wool, silk, or synthetic yarn such as nylon, polyester, or a blended yarn thereof. The lining yarn is a yarn with a higher coefficient of friction than the face yarn, such as split fiber yarn, polyurethane, NANOFRONT (registered trademark), Crimpal (registered trademark), etc. Thus, the friction coefficient of the inner side (skin side) of the upper side wrapping portion 131 is higher than that of the inner side (skin side) of the heel covering portion 120. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper low elastic portion 132 is knitted in the upper winding portion 131 (inner region). It should be noted that the upper low elastic portion 132 can be knitted in the center of the upper winding portion 131 (refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 ), it can also be woven at the upper part of the upper winding portion 131, or it can be woven at the lower part of the upper winding portion 131. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the upper low-elasticity portion 132 is wound around the upper winding portion 131 in a ring-shaped manner with a notch at the front side of the ankle, but it can also be wound around the upper winding portion 131 in a ring-shaped manner with more than one notch other than the front side of the ankle. That is, the upper low-elasticity portion 132 can be knitted in various shapes and forms as long as it is knitted in the upper winding portion 131. In addition, as described above, the front end portion of the upper low-elasticity portion 132 (i.e., the end portion on the side where the notch at the front side of the ankle is formed) is connected to the upper end portion of the front low-elasticity portion 112 of the foot covering portion 110 (i.e., the end portion on the side where the notch at the instep side of the foot is formed). In addition, the upper low-elasticity portion 132 is formed to suppress stretching by inserting a raised yarn in the face yarn or the back yarn, and is low-elasticity compared to the upper winding portion 131 and the heel covering portion 120. The veil is, for example, natural yarn such as cotton, linen, wool, silk, or synthetic yarn such as nylon, polyester, or their blended yarns. The lining yarn is a yarn with a higher friction coefficient than the veil, such as split yarn, polyurethane, NANOFRONT (registered trademark), Crimpal (registered trademark), etc. The raised yarn is a yarn with high elasticity and softness, for example, wool nylon is preferably used. It should be noted that, as other knitting methods, it is also possible to knit using loop knitting, or reduce the stitch density, or insert elastic cord or combine these methods, so that the upper low-elasticity portion 132 is low-elasticity compared to the upper winding portion 131 and the heel covering portion 120. In addition, when inserting the raised yarn, it is preferred that the raised yarn spreads over the inner side of the upper winding portion 131, that is, the skin side, and the length of the raised yarn that spreads over the skin side is preferably a length that does not hook the raised yarn when worn. It should be noted that the length of the raised yarn can be appropriately adjusted in combination with the wearer's age, gender, physique, etc. In the case where the raised yarn is not cut at the place where it covers the skin side, stretching is further suppressed, which can effectively prevent the yarn from shifting or falling off during walking, exercise, etc. when worn. In the case where the raised yarn is cut at the place where it covers the skin side, since the elasticity is moderately maintained, the wearing comfort can be improved with appropriate tightening, and the yarn can be prevented from shifting or falling off during walking, exercise, etc. when worn. In addition, in the case where the length of the raised yarn is longer than the width of the finger, the raised yarn can be cut at the place where it covers, so that the finger can be prevented from hooking the raised yarn. In addition, by reducing the stitch density around the raised yarn, stretching is suppressed, which can effectively prevent the yarn from shifting or falling off during walking, exercise, etc. when worn, and the raised yarn can be prevented from falling off.

[0062] However, when only relying on the tightening force generated by tucking knitting, inserting elastic cord, etc. to prevent the shoes from shifting or falling off during walking, sports, etc. when worn, the tightening sometimes causes discomfort or other deterioration in wearing feeling due to excessive pressure or leaving marks on the skin after wearing. The ankle-height footwear 1 of the present invention focuses on elasticity and high friction to prevent the shoes from shifting or falling off during walking, sports, etc. when worn. When the front side low elasticity portion 112 is formed in the front side winding portion 111 knitted with the inner yarn with a relatively high friction coefficient by inserting elastic cord, and when the upper side low elasticity portion 132 is formed in the upper side winding portion 131 knitted with the inner yarn with a relatively high friction coefficient by inserting elastic cord, the feed amount of the elastic cord is adjusted, and when formed by tucking knitting, the number of tucking is adjusted. Unlike the previous design that only relies on the tightening force to prevent the shoes from shifting or falling off during walking, sports, etc. when worn, the shoes can prevent the shoes from shifting or falling off during walking, sports, etc. when worn without being too tightened. Therefore, a wider range of people, such as people with fragile skin due to physical constitution and children with thin skin, can wear the ankle-height footwear 1 of the present invention with peace of mind.

[0063] (5) Sock opening

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, the sock opening 140 is formed on the upper side of the ankle covering portion 130 and is knitted with a yarn. The yarn has a higher friction coefficient than the yarn used to knit the upper winding portion 131, and is, for example, split fiber yarn, polyurethane, NANOFRONT (registered trademark), Crimpal (registered trademark), etc. In addition, the sock opening 140 is a double-layer structure formed by folding the fabric back and then sewing it. It should be noted that an elastic cord can also be inserted into the sock opening 140.

[0065] <Features of the ankle-height footwear according to the first embodiment of the present invention> (1)

[0067] In the ankle-height footwear 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the upper wrapping portion 131 is wrapped around the ankle covering portion 130, and the upper low-elasticity portion 132 is knitted in the upper wrapping portion 131. In addition, the friction coefficient of the inner yarn used to knit the upper wrapping portion 131 is higher than that of the face yarn used to knit the upper wrapping portion 131, and the friction coefficient of the inner side of the upper wrapping portion 131 is higher than that of the inner side of the heel covering portion 120. In addition, the upper low-elasticity portion 132 is low-elasticity compared to the upper wrapping portion 131 and the heel covering portion 120. Therefore, in the ankle-height footwear 1, when worn, the ankle covering portion 130 is tightened by the upper low-elasticity portion 132, and the ankle covering portion 130 is in a state that is difficult to slide relative to the ankle by the upper wrapping portion 131. Therefore, the ankle-height footwear 1 can be prevented from shifting or falling off during walking, exercise, and the like when worn, and can provide a good wearing feeling without being too tight. (2)

[0069] In the ankle-height footwear 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the front wrapping portion 111 is wrapped around the foot covering portion 110, and the front low-elasticity portion 112 is knitted in the front wrapping portion 111. In addition, the friction coefficient of the inner yarn used to knit the front wrapping portion 111 is higher than that of the face yarn used to knit the front wrapping portion 111, and the friction coefficient of the inner side of the front wrapping portion 111 is higher than that of the inner side of the heel covering portion 120. In addition, the front low-elasticity portion 112 is low-elastic compared to the front wrapping portion 111 and the heel covering portion 120. Therefore, in the ankle-height footwear 1, when worn, the foot covering portion 110 is fastened to the instep and the bottom of the foot by the front low-elasticity portion 112, and the foot covering portion 110 is in a state that is difficult to slide relative to the instep and the bottom of the foot by the front wrapping portion 111. Therefore, the ankle-height footwear 1 can further prevent the footwear from shifting or falling off during walking, exercise, and the like when worn, and can provide a good wearing feel without being too tight. (3)

[0071] In the ankle-high footwear 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the sock opening 140 is formed on the upper side of the ankle covering portion 130 and is knitted with a yarn having a higher friction coefficient than the yarn used to knit the upper wrapping portion 131. Therefore, in the ankle-high footwear 1, when worn, the sock opening 140 is in a state that is difficult to slide relative to the ankle (more specifically, the upper part of the ankle covered by the ankle covering portion 130). Therefore, the ankle-high footwear 1 can further prevent the sock from shifting or falling off during walking, exercise, and other actions when worn.

[0072] <Modification>

[0073] (A)

[0074] Although not mentioned in the ankle-length footwear 1 according to the previous embodiment, the friction coefficient of the yarn used to form the sock opening 140 may be higher than that of the yarn used to form the front wrapping portion 111 .

[0075] (B)

[0076] Although not mentioned in the ankle-height footwear 1 according to the previous embodiment, the front wrapping portion 111 and the front low-elasticity portion 112 may not be formed in the foot covering portion 110 .

[0077] (C)

[0078] Although it is not mentioned in the ankle-height footwear 1 involved in the previous embodiment, a natural resin (such as natural rubber, etc.) or a synthetic resin (silicone rubber, polyurethane rubber, etc.) that has an anti-slip effect can be applied to the inner side of the upper winding portion 131 or the inner side of the front winding portion 111, and the upper winding portion 131 or the front winding portion 111 can also be formed of a natural resin or a synthetic resin instead of being woven from a face yarn and a lining yarn.

[0079] (D)

[0080] Although not mentioned in the ankle-length footwear 1 according to the previous embodiment, the cuff 140 may not be formed. In addition, the cuff 140 may not have a double-layer structure, but may have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure of three or more layers.

[0081] It should be noted that the above-mentioned modifications may be adopted alone or in appropriate combination within a range not inconsistent with each other.

[0082] Second embodiment

[0083] As an example of the wearing device according to the second embodiment of the present invention, there can be mentioned: Figure 3 The kneepad 2 shown. Hereinafter, the kneepad 2 will be described in detail.

[0084] like Figure 3 As shown, the kneepad 2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is hook-shaped when viewed from the side, and is mainly composed of a lower opening 200, a lower covering portion 210, a central covering portion 220, an upper covering portion 230, and an upper opening 240. It should be noted that the main difference between the kneepad 2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention and the ankle-height footwear 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is that the kneepad 2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention has openings on both sides. These parts are described in detail below.

[0085] It should be noted that for the sake of convenience, Figure 3 The up-down direction and the front-back direction are defined in . Hereinafter, the knee pad 2 will sometimes be described using these directions.

[0086] (1) Lower mouth

[0087] like Figure 3 As shown, the lower mouth 200 is formed on the lower side of the lower covering portion 210 and is woven from a veil. The veil has a higher friction coefficient than the veil used to weave the upper winding portion 231 (described later), and is, for example, split fiber yarn, polyurethane, NANOFRONT (registered trademark), Crimpal (registered trademark), etc. In addition, the lower mouth 200 is a double-layer structure formed by folding the fabric back and then sewing it. It should be noted that an elastic cord can also be inserted into the lower mouth 200.

[0088] (2) Lower side covering

[0089] The lower covering portion 210 is a cylindrical portion for covering the lower part of the knee. Figure 3 As shown, it extends upward from the upper end of the lower mouth portion 200 (extends downward from the lower end of the central covering portion 220 ), and is continuous with the upper covering portion 230 via the central covering portion 220 .

[0090] In addition, if Figure 3 As shown, the lower wrapping portion 210 is formed with a lower wrapping portion 211 and a lower low-elasticity portion 212, and the portion of the lower wrapping portion 210 where the lower wrapping portion 211 and the lower low-elasticity portion 212 are not formed is woven with a highly elastic fabric (described above). Figure 3 As shown, the lower winding portion 211 is wound around the lower covering portion 210. It should be noted that the lower winding portion 211 can be wound around the lower covering portion 210 in a ring shape without a gap, or in a ring shape with more than one gap. Figure 3 As shown, the rear portion of the lower winding portion 211 is connected to the rear portion of the upper winding portion 231 of the upper covering portion 230. In addition, the lower winding portion 211 is woven from a face veil and a lining yarn. The face veil is, for example, natural yarn such as cotton, linen, wool, silk, or synthetic yarn such as nylon, polyester, or a blended yarn thereof. The lining yarn is a yarn having a higher coefficient of friction than that of the face veil, such as split fiber yarn, polyurethane, NANOFRONT (registered trademark), Crimpal (registered trademark), etc. As a result, the friction coefficient of the inner side (skin side) of the lower winding portion 211 is higher than that of the inner side (skin side) of the central covering portion 220. As shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the lower low elasticity portion 212 is knitted in the lower winding portion 211 (inner region). It should be noted that the lower low elasticity portion 212 can be knitted in the center of the lower winding portion 211 (refer to Figure 3 ), it can also be woven at the upper part of the lower winding part 211, or it can be woven at the lower part of the lower winding part 211. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , the lower low elastic portion 212 is wound around the lower winding portion 211 in a ring shape with a notch at the rear side of the lower knee, but it may be wound around the lower winding portion 211 in a ring shape with one or more notches other than the rear side of the lower knee. That is, the lower low elastic portion 212 may be woven in various shapes and forms as long as it is woven in the lower winding portion 211. In addition, as Figure 3 As shown, the rear end of the lower low-elasticity portion 212 (i.e., the end on the side where the notch on the rear side of the lower part of the knee is formed) is connected to the rear end of the upper low-elasticity portion 232 of the upper covering portion 230 (i.e., the end on the side where the notch on the rear side of the upper part of the knee is formed). In addition, the lower low-elasticity portion 212 is formed to suppress stretching by inserting a raised yarn in the face yarn or the back yarn, and is low-elasticity compared to the lower winding portion 211 and the heel covering portion 120. The face yarn is, for example, natural yarn such as cotton, linen, wool, silk, or synthetic yarn such as nylon, polyester, or a blended yarn thereof. The back yarn is a yarn having a higher friction coefficient than the face yarn, such as split yarn, polyurethane, NANOFRONT (registered trademark), Crimpal (registered trademark), etc. The raised yarn is a yarn with high elasticity and softness, and for example, wool nylon is preferably used. It should be noted that, as other knitting methods, it is also possible to knit by tucking, or reduce the stitch density, or insert elastic cord, or combine these methods, so that the lower low-elasticity portion 212 is low-elasticity compared to the lower winding portion 211 and the heel covering portion 120. In addition, when the raised yarn is inserted, it is preferred that the raised yarn is spread over the inner side of the lower winding portion 211, that is, the skin side, and the length of the raised yarn spread over the skin side is preferably a length to the extent that the fingers do not hook the raised yarn when wearing. It should be noted that the length of the raised yarn can be appropriately adjusted in combination with the age, gender, physique, etc. of the wearer. In the case where the raised yarn is not cut at the place where it spreads over the skin side, the stretching is further suppressed, and it can be well prevented from deflecting and falling off during walking, exercise, etc. when wearing. In the case where the raised yarn is cut at the place where it spreads over the skin side, since the elasticity is moderately maintained, the wearing comfort can be improved with just the right tightening, and it can be prevented from deflecting and falling off during walking, exercise, etc. when wearing. In addition, when the length of the raised yarn is longer than the width of the finger, the raised yarn can be cut at the places where it is covered to prevent the finger from being caught on the raised yarn. In addition, by reducing the stitch density around the raised yarn, stretching is suppressed, which can effectively prevent the raised yarn from shifting or falling off during walking, exercise, etc., and can prevent the raised yarn from falling off.

[0091] (3) Central cladding

[0092] The central covering portion 220 is used to cover the knee. Figure 3As shown, it extends upward from the upper end of the lower covering portion 210 and is knitted from a highly elastic fabric (described above). In addition, as described above, the friction coefficient of the inner side (skin side) of the central covering portion 220 is lower than that of the inner side (skin side) of the lower winding portion 211, and the central covering portion 220 is highly elastic compared to the lower low-elasticity portion 212. In addition, as will be described later, the friction coefficient of the inner side (skin side) of the central covering portion 220 is lower than that of the inner side (skin side) of the upper winding portion 231, and the central covering portion 220 is highly elastic compared to the upper low-elasticity portion 232.

[0093] (4) Upper side covering

[0094] The upper covering portion 230 is a cylindrical portion for covering the upper part of the knee. Figure 3 As shown, it extends upward from the upper end of the central covering portion 220 and is continuous with the lower covering portion 210 via the central covering portion 220 .

[0095] In addition, if Figure 3 As shown, the upper wrapping portion 230 is formed with an upper winding portion 231 and an upper low-elastic portion 232, and the portion of the upper wrapping portion 230 where the upper winding portion 231 and the upper low-elastic portion 232 are not formed is woven with a highly elastic fabric (described above). Figure 3 As shown, the upper winding portion 231 is wound around the upper covering portion 230. It should be noted that the upper winding portion 231 can be wound around the upper covering portion 230 in a ring-shaped manner without a gap, or can be wound around the upper covering portion 230 in a ring-shaped manner with more than one gap. In addition, as mentioned above, the rear portion of the upper winding portion 231 is connected to the rear portion of the lower winding portion 211 of the lower covering portion 210. In addition, the upper winding portion 231 is woven from a face yarn and a lining yarn. The face yarn is, for example, natural yarn such as cotton, linen, wool, silk, or synthetic yarn such as nylon, polyester, or a blended yarn thereof. The lining yarn is a yarn with a higher coefficient of friction than the face yarn, such as split fiber yarn, polyurethane, NANOFRONT (registered trademark), Crimpal (registered trademark), etc. Thus, the friction coefficient of the inner side (skin side) of the upper winding portion 231 is higher than that of the inner side (skin side) of the central covering portion 220. Figure 3 As shown, the upper low-elasticity portion 232 is knitted in the upper winding portion 231 (inner region). It should be noted that the upper low-elasticity portion 232 can be knitted in the center of the upper winding portion 231 (refer to Figure 3 ), it can also be woven at the upper part of the upper winding portion 231, or it can be woven at the lower part of the upper winding portion 231. Figure 3As shown, the upper low-elasticity portion 232 is wound around the upper winding portion 231 in a ring-shaped manner with a notch at the rear side of the upper knee, but can also be wound around the upper winding portion 231 in a ring-shaped manner with one or more notches other than the rear side of the upper knee. That is, the upper low-elasticity portion 232 can be woven in various shapes and forms as long as it is woven in the upper winding portion 231. In addition, as described above, the rear end portion of the upper low-elasticity portion 232 (i.e., the end portion on one side for forming the notch at the rear side of the upper knee) is connected to the rear end portion of the lower low-elasticity portion 212 of the lower covering portion 210 (i.e., the end portion on one side for forming the notch at the rear side of the lower knee). Moreover, the upper low-elasticity portion 232 is formed to suppress stretching by inserting a raised yarn in the face yarn or the lining yarn, and is low-elasticity compared to the upper winding portion 231 and the heel covering portion 120. The veil is, for example, natural yarn such as cotton, linen, wool, silk, or synthetic yarn such as nylon, polyester, or their blended yarns. The lining yarn is a yarn with a higher friction coefficient than the veil, such as split yarn, polyurethane, NANOFRONT (registered trademark), Crimpal (registered trademark), etc. The raised yarn is a yarn with high elasticity and softness, for example, wool nylon is preferably used. It should be noted that, as another knitting method, it can also be knitted using tuck knitting, or reducing the stitch density, or inserting elastic cord, or combining these methods, so that the upper low-elasticity portion 232 is low-elasticity compared to the upper winding portion 231 and the heel covering portion 120. In addition, when inserting the raised yarn, it is preferred that the raised yarn spreads over the inner side of the upper winding portion 231, that is, the skin side, and the length of the raised yarn that spreads over the skin side is preferably a length to the extent that the fingers do not hook the raised yarn when wearing it. It should be noted that the length of the raised yarn can be appropriately adjusted in combination with the wearer's age, gender, physique, etc. When the raised yarn is not cut at the skin-covered side, stretching is further suppressed, which can effectively prevent the wearer from shifting or falling off during walking, exercise, etc. when the wearer is wearing the raised yarn. When the raised yarn is cut at the skin-covered side, the elasticity is appropriately maintained, so that the wearing comfort can be improved with just the right amount of tightening, and the wearer can be prevented from shifting or falling off during walking, exercise, etc. when the wearer is wearing the raised yarn. In addition, when the length of the raised yarn is longer than the width of a finger, the raised yarn can be cut at the skin-covered side to prevent the finger from hooking the raised yarn. In addition, by reducing the stitch density around the raised yarn, stretching is suppressed, which can effectively prevent the wearer from shifting or falling off during walking, exercise, etc. when the wearer is wearing the raised yarn, and prevent the raised yarn from falling off.

[0096] However, when only the tightening force generated by tucking knitting and insertion of elastic cord is used to prevent the wearer from shifting or falling off during walking, sports, etc., the tightening may cause discomfort or other deterioration of the wearing feeling due to excessive pressure or leaving marks on the skin after wearing. The kneepad 2 according to the present invention focuses on elasticity and high friction to prevent the wearer from shifting or falling off during walking, sports, etc. ... Therefore, a wider range of people, such as people with fragile skin due to physical constitution and children with thin skin, can wear the knee pad 2 according to the present invention with peace of mind.

[0097] (5) Upper mouth

[0098] like Figure 3 As shown, the upper mouth 240 is formed on the upper side of the upper covering portion 230 and is woven from a yarn. The yarn has a higher friction coefficient than the yarn used to weave the upper winding portion 231, and is, for example, a split yarn, polyurethane, NANOFRONT (registered trademark), Crimpal (registered trademark), etc. In addition, the upper mouth 240 is a double-layer structure formed by folding the fabric back and then sewing it. It should be noted that an elastic cord can also be inserted into the upper mouth 240.

[0099] <Features of the knee pad according to the embodiment of the present invention> (1)

[0101] In the kneepad 2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the upper wrapping portion 231 is wrapped around the upper covering portion 230, and the upper low-elasticity portion 232 is knitted in the upper wrapping portion 231. In addition, the friction coefficient of the inner yarn used to knit the upper wrapping portion 231 is higher than that of the face yarn used to knit the upper wrapping portion 231, and the friction coefficient of the inner side of the upper wrapping portion 231 is higher than that of the inner side of the central covering portion 220. In addition, the upper low-elasticity portion 232 is low-elastic compared to the upper wrapping portion 231 and the central covering portion 220. Therefore, in the kneepad 2, when worn, the upper covering portion 230 is fastened to the upper part of the knee by the upper low-elasticity portion 232, and the upper covering portion 230 is in a state that is difficult to slide relative to the upper part of the knee by the upper wrapping portion 231. Therefore, the kneepad 2 can be prevented from shifting or falling off during walking, exercising, or the like when worn, and can provide a good wearing feeling without being too tight. (2)

[0103] In the kneepad 2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the lower wrapping portion 211 is wrapped around the lower covering portion 210, and the lower low-elasticity portion 212 is knitted in the lower wrapping portion 211. In addition, the friction coefficient of the inner yarn used to knit the lower wrapping portion 211 is higher than that of the face yarn used to knit the lower wrapping portion 211, and the friction coefficient of the inner side of the lower wrapping portion 211 is higher than that of the inner side of the central covering portion 220. In addition, the lower low-elasticity portion 212 is less elastic than the lower wrapping portion 211 and the central covering portion 220. Therefore, in the kneepad 2, when worn, the lower covering portion 210 is fastened to the lower part of the knee by the lower low-elasticity portion 212, and the lower covering portion 210 is in a state that is difficult to slide relative to the lower part of the knee by the lower wrapping portion 211. Therefore, the kneepad 2 can further prevent the kneepad from shifting or falling off during walking, exercising, or the like when worn, and can provide a good wearing feeling without being too tight. (3)

[0105] In the kneepad 2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the lower opening 200 is formed on the lower side of the lower covering portion 210 and is knitted with a yarn having a higher friction coefficient than the yarn used to knit the upper winding portion 231. In addition, the upper opening 240 is formed on the upper side of the upper covering portion 230 and is knitted with a yarn having a higher friction coefficient than the yarn used to knit the upper winding portion 231. Therefore, in the kneepad 2, when worn, the lower opening 200 is in a state where it is difficult to slide relative to the lower part of the knee, and the upper opening 240 is in a state where it is difficult to slide relative to the upper part of the knee. Therefore, with the kneepad 2, it is possible to further prevent the kneepad 2 from shifting or falling off during walking, exercise, or other actions when worn.
