Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of clothing and accessories technology, specifically relating to a turn-up sock that can be switched between waterproof and breathable. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, outdoor sports have become increasingly popular, with enthusiasts widely participating in activities such as hiking, mountaineering, climbing, diving, swimming, and skiing. These activities often involve traversing diverse environments, inevitably encountering puddles, humid climates, or areas with large bodies of water; prolonged hiking can also cause excessive sweating, leading to damp socks. This can cause significant discomfort for travelers' feet, and prolonged exposure to a damp, non-breathable environment can cause considerable damage to the skin. While most waterproof socks on the market today use a three-layer bonded structure with a waterproof and breathable middle layer, these types of socks are often more expensive to manufacture. Furthermore, regardless of whether they are in water or not, the constant friction between the sock and the foot and insole during wear can lead to severe wear and tear over time, weakening the waterproof effect and reducing the lifespan of the waterproof layer. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above problems and shortcomings, this utility model provides a flip-up sock with switchable waterproof and breathable design. It features a simple structure and low manufacturing cost. In non-water environments, the waterproof layer of the sock will not come into contact with the foot and cause friction, thus extending the service life of the waterproof layer. The waterproof function can be selected to be used depending on the environment.

[0004] This utility model provides the following technical solution: it includes a sock body, which is connected to a turn-up sock cuff, and the two are woven into a whole structure during knitting. The uppermost ring of the inner surface of the sock cuff is covered with a Velcro hook and loop side. A waterproof layer is connected to the sock cuff. The waterproof layer is divided into a lower sleeve and an upper fixing structure. The top outer surface of the upper fixing structure is connected with a Velcro hook and loop side. An annular movable elastic band is fitted on the outer surface of the waterproof layer.

[0005] The stockings have a ribbed knit, which has uniform vertical pleats.

[0006] The thickness of the sock cuff is slightly greater than the thickness of the sock body.

[0007] The inner surface of the lower sleeve and the outer surface of the sock are bonded together with hot melt adhesive.

[0008] The waterproof layer is made of TPU waterproof and breathable membrane.

[0009] The hook and loop fastener are sewn together with fine thread to the outer surface of the upper fixing structure.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] 1. The waterproof layer is directly bonded to the sock sleeve with hot melt adhesive, which is simple in structure and low in cost.

[0012] 2. The inner waterproof layer is attached to the outer layer of the sock. In non-water-contaminated environments, the entire waterproof layer can be folded down layer by layer and stuffed into the sock. Then, the sock can be flattened outwards, forming a good storage structure. When walking on dry surfaces, the waterproof layer will not rub against the soles of the feet and insoles, extending the service life of the waterproof layer.

[0013] 3. When outdoor athletes participate in activities such as mountaineering or rock climbing, their trouser legs will lift up when their legs bend, exposing their ankles. They can tuck the waterproof layer into their socks to make the socks thicker, and then use a loop elastic band to tighten the socks. This will provide some protection for the ankles.

[0014] 4. In environments with lush vegetation, mosquitoes and other insects are more likely to appear, and the calves will often rub against the surrounding vegetation. At this time, you can pull the waterproof layer out of the sock and pull it up along the calf to cover it. Then, use the loop elastic band to tighten it on the Velcro hook. This can help prevent mosquito bites to some extent.

[0015] 5. The movable elastic band can effectively secure the waterproof layer around the arch and instep. Because the entire foot has an irregular shape, when the waterproof layer covers the entire foot, it is difficult for the waterproof layer in the concave arch and protruding instep areas to completely conform to the foot. Therefore, a movable elastic band can tighten the waterproof layer in these two areas, further improving the waterproof effect and also improving the overall comfort of walking after wearing the waterproof sock.

[0016] The parts of the device not covered herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Please see Figures 1-3 The present invention provides the following technical solution: it includes a sock body 1, which is connected to a turn-up sock leg 2. The two are woven into a whole structure during knitting. The uppermost ring of the inner surface of the sock leg 2 is attached with a Velcro hook side 21. A waterproof layer 3 is connected to the sock leg 2. The waterproof layer 3 is divided into a lower sleeve 31 and an upper fixing structure 32. The top outer surface of the upper fixing structure 32 is connected with a Velcro hook side 33. The outer surface of the waterproof layer 3 is covered with a ring-shaped movable elastic band 4.

[0022] In this implementation plan: As a preferred embodiment, the sock body 1 and sock cuff 2 are woven as a single unit during the knitting process. Both are made of skin-friendly long-staple cotton, ensuring breathability and sweat absorption during prolonged walking in dry environments. Furthermore, as another implementation method, considering the harsh environments encountered by outdoor athletes or workers, and the requirements for antibacterial and hypoallergenic properties of their socks, the sock body 1 is woven with a 1:1 blend of long-staple cotton yarn and linen. This ratio can be adjusted according to different groups of people. The addition of linen ensures both breathability and significant antibacterial properties. Simultaneously, the straight and smooth fiber structure of linen effectively prevents the accumulation of fine dust or dirt, allowing outdoor athletes or workers to maintain healthy and dry feet during prolonged walking in harsh environments.

[0023] The sock cuff 2, located above the ankle bone, is made of ribbed fabric, which is wrinkled in the vertical direction and has great elasticity and extensibility when stretched laterally. This is the preferred fabric structure for the sock cuff 2. In outdoor environments where there is no water, the entire waterproof layer 3 can be folded down layer by layer to cover the sock cuff 2, and then the sock cuff 2 can be flattened outwards. This forms a good storage layer, and the thickness of the sock cuff 2 is slightly thicker than that of the sock body 1, which can better protect the folded and wrapped waterproof layer 3 and prevent it from being accidentally scratched or cut during walking.

[0024] The third waterproof layer is made of TPU waterproof and breathable membrane, which is a non-toxic and harmless environmentally friendly material that does not harm human skin. It has a microporous structure with very small pore size, allowing only water molecules to pass through. Its breathability is 6500~8000g / ㎡ / 24h and above, which can effectively prevent water immersion in water-related environments and getting wet in rainy weather.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment of this implementation, the inner surface of the lower sleeve 31 of the waterproof layer 3 and the outer surface of the sock leg 2 are connected by hot melt adhesive dots, which realizes the separation of the sock body 1, the sock leg 2 and the waterproof layer 3. This simplifies the structure and reduces manufacturing costs, while ensuring that the elasticity of the sock body 1 and the sock leg 2 is not affected by the TPU material of the waterproof layer 3. Conversely, the frequent pulling and friction of the sock will not affect the TPU material structure of the waterproof layer 3.

[0026] When waterproofing the feet is required, the waterproof layer 3 in the sock cuff 2 can be pulled out. The Velcro hook side 33 is then pulled downwards to cover the ankle and heel, followed by the sole, toes, and instep to cover the entire foot. The Velcro hook side 33 is then tightly attached to the Velcro loop side 21 folded out from the sock cuff to form a fixed structure, thus achieving a waterproof effect. Velcro, as a preferred method in this embodiment, allows for quick disassembly and reassembly of the waterproof layer 3. Made of nylon, it offers better breathability and excellent waterproof and corrosion-resistant properties. It will not detach or separate due to prolonged immersion in water. Compared to traditional snap fasteners on clothing, Velcro fits the foot better, preventing discomfort and providing a more secure and flexible fit, making it more suitable for outdoor workers who wear it for extended periods.

[0027] When the waterproof layer 3 covers the entire foot, because the entire foot is an irregular shape, it is difficult for the waterproof layer 3 in the arch and the instep to fit completely. Therefore, a movable ring elastic band 4 can tighten the irregular folds formed by the waterproof layer 3 in these two areas, further improving the waterproof effect and also improving the comfort of walking after the waterproof layer is applied to the sock.

[0028] The working principle and usage of this utility model are as follows: When working or exercising outdoors, in a dry environment where there is no water contact, the entire waterproof layer 3 can be folded down layer by layer to cover the sock leg 2. Then, the sock leg 2 can be flattened outwards, forming a neat storage structure. At this time, it is just like wearing ordinary socks, and the outward-folded edge of the sock leg 2 also has a certain fashion effect. When rock climbing, the ankle will be exposed when lifting the leg. Because the sock leg 2 is thickened with the waterproof layer 3, it will protect the ankle. When encountering environments with many insects, such as dense vegetation or jungles, the waterproof layer 3 can be pulled out from the sock leg 2. Pull the Velcro hook face 33 along the calf upwards until it is fully pulled up, and then move the circular elastic band 4 to the Velcro hook face 33 to cover and tighten it. The waterproof layer 3 can then provide a certain degree of protection against insect bites on the calf skin. When encountering water-related environments, first remove the shoes, then pull the waterproof layer 3 out of the sock 2. Pull the Velcro hook side 33 downwards to cover the ankle and heel, then along the sole, toes, and instep to cover the entire foot. Next, tightly attach the Velcro hook side 33 to the Velcro loop side 21 folded out from the sock 21 to form a fixed structure, thus achieving a waterproof effect. For the arch and instep areas where the upper fixing structure 32 is difficult to fully conform to the foot, the waterproof layer 3 in these two areas forms irregular wrinkles. Therefore, moving the circular elastic band 4 to the arch position can tighten it, further improving waterproofing. The effect is that the waterproof layer 3 on the sole of the foot does not generate too much friction with the shoe upper, and also improves the overall comfort of walking after the sock is waterproof. After passing through water, you can take off your shoes again, first move the circular elastic band 4 above the ankle bone, and then pull the waterproof layer 3 up along the calf. At this time, you can use absorbent paper or absorbent cloth to wipe the water stains inside and outside the waterproof layer 3. Before it is completely dry, you can put it on your calf and move the circular elastic band 4 to the Velcro hook side 33 to tighten it. This will increase the evaporation area of ​​the waterproof layer 3, allowing the water on it to evaporate faster, so that it can be put back into the sock 2 for easy reuse next time.
