[0030] Spacers: By setting certain intervals between different layers or areas of the fabric, a similar effect to "spacers" is formed.
[0031] This embodiment relates to a type of sock, as shown in the following figure. Figure 1Includes: 100 socks. Figure 1 The image on the left side shows the front view of these socks. Figure 1 The right side of the image shows a schematic diagram of the back of the sock. The sock body 100 has a first elastic support structure 210 and a second elastic support structure 220 at the sole. The first elastic support structure 210 is located in the middle of the sole of the sock body 100 and extends laterally towards one side of the sole. The second elastic support structure 220 extends from the position of the first elastic support structure 210 corresponding to the middle of the sole of the sock body 100 towards the arch area of the foot, and is located around the first elastic support structure 210. The sock body 100 has an expansion structure 230 on the upper, corresponding to the middle of the instep. Both ends of the expansion structure 230 extend towards both sides of the upper of the sock body 100, with one end extending to the sole of the sock body 100, corresponding to the medial longitudinal arch of the foot. The first elastic support structure 210, the second elastic support structure 220, and the expansion structure 230 work together to wrap and support the arch area of the user's foot. (See reference) Figure 1 The first elastic support structure 210 extends laterally towards the sole of the sock body 100, corresponding to the lateral longitudinal arch of the human foot. The lateral longitudinal arch of the human foot has relatively poor elasticity and mainly serves to support and bear weight. During exercise, the lateral longitudinal arch can quickly adjust the foot's support angle and force, maintaining balance and stability. Therefore, the first elastic support structure 210 provides auxiliary cushioning for the lateral longitudinal arch and supports the sole of the foot, ensuring the user's overall balance and stability during exercise. The second elastic support structure 220 extends from the first elastic support structure 210 at the middle of the sole of the sock body 100, towards the arch area of the sock body 100, and is located around the first elastic support structure 210. This forms a support structure centered on the middle of the first elastic support structure 210, extending towards the arch area of the sock body 100, and providing good wrapping effect. In this embodiment, the second elastic support structure 220 extends from the middle of the first elastic support structure 210 to the four corners of the sock body 100 corresponding to the arch area of the human foot, forming an "X"-shaped support structure that can provide a strong sense of wrapping and support.
[0032] The first elastic support structure 210 and the second elastic support structure 220 work together at the sole of the sock body 100 to form a bandage-like cross-elastic support structure. This structure better wraps around and supports the arch of the foot, reducing pressure on the arch during walking and exercise, and preventing sports injuries to the arch. Simultaneously, a stretching structure 230 is provided on the upper of the sock body 100, corresponding to the middle of the instep, wrapping around the middle of the instep and providing a comfortable and snug fit. This provides sufficient cushioning and protection for the higher medial longitudinal arch of the foot. The first elastic support structure 210, the second elastic support structure 220, and the stretching structure 230 provide support and cushioning to the arch area from both the sole and instep, while also providing a strong snug fit. This ensures that the sock body 100 conforms more closely to the foot, increases friction between the sock body 100 and the foot, and prevents the sock from riding up or slipping, thus ensuring stability during exercise.
[0033] More specifically, multiple second elastic support structures 220 are provided, with adjacent second elastic support structures 220 arranged in a V-shape. This provides support and wrapping for the human foot arch from multiple aspects, preventing excessive pressure on the arch during exercise and facilitating the transfer of pressure on the arch to other directions, avoiding concentrated force. In this embodiment, four second elastic support structures 220 are provided. In some embodiments, six second elastic support structures 220 may also be provided.
[0034] Furthermore, the first elastic support structure 210 and the second elastic support structure 220 are spaced apart. Compared to a large-area connected support structure, the spaced-apart first elastic support structure 210 and second elastic support structure 220 can better conform to the human foot, better adapt to the shape changes of the arch of the foot during exercise, provide continuous and stable support, and also improve the durability of the socks.
[0035] In this embodiment, the first elastic support structure 210 and the second elastic support structure 220 are provided with a spacer nylon jacquard structure, which thickens the stiffness and strength of the first elastic support structure 210 and the second elastic support structure 220, providing better support for the sole and arch of the foot, and enhancing the wrapping and stability. In this embodiment, the stretch structure 230 is set as a ribbed stretch structure, specifically a 3*1 ribbed stretch structure. Utilizing the good resilience of the rib, it ensures good wearing comfort for the user and provides good support for the instep. In some embodiments, the first elastic support structure 210 and the second elastic support structure 220 can also be other jacquard structures. In some embodiments, the stretch structure 230 can also be other woven structures.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 The sock body 100 has a first mesh structure 310 and a second mesh structure 320 located on the front and / or rear side of the stretching structure 230 on its upper surface, with the first mesh structure 310 and the second mesh structure 320 spaced apart. In this embodiment, the sock body 100 has a first mesh structure 310 and a second mesh structure 320 located on the front and rear side of the stretching structure 230 on its upper surface. From the toe direction of the sock body 100 to the heel direction, the first mesh structure 310 and the second mesh structure 320 are arranged alternately, and multiple first mesh structures 310 and second mesh structures 320 are provided to ensure that the sock has strong breathability, facilitates ventilation and heat dissipation of the feet, keeps the feet dry, and prevents sweat from being trapped. In some embodiments, the first mesh structure 310 and the second mesh structure 320 may only be provided on the front side of the stretching structure 230, i.e., on the side close to the toe of the sock body 100. In some embodiments, the first mesh structure 310 and the second mesh structure 320 may be disposed only on the rear side of the stretch structure 230, i.e., on the heel side near the sock body 100. In this embodiment, the first mesh structure 310 is a 2*1 mesh structure, and the second mesh structure 320 is a horizontal stripe mesh structure. In some embodiments, other mesh structures may also be used.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 The sock body 100 has a first rib structure 410 corresponding to both sides of the ankle joint. The rib structure has good resilience and can fit snugly against the ankle joint, protecting it and preventing sprains without affecting normal activities. Specifically, the first rib structure 410 is a 4*1 rib structure. In some embodiments, other rib structures may also be used.
[0038] In this embodiment, a mesh nylon structure 510 is provided on the sock body 100 corresponding to the back of the ankle joint. The reinforced mesh on the back of the ankle joint not only dissipates heat and maintains good breathability, but also prevents the heel from chafing.
[0039] Furthermore, the sock body 100 features a terry loop structure 520 corresponding to the heel area. The thickened terry loops and their naturally fluffy texture provide cushioning and protection, effectively reducing impact during running and jumping.
[0040] In this embodiment, the sock body 100 has a second rib structure 420 at the cuff, along with a contrasting lining. The good elasticity of the rib combined with the contrasting color technique allows it to fit snugly against the calf, providing a good sense of coverage and appropriate pressure, while also maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance. In this embodiment, the second rib structure 420 is a 3*1 rib structure. In some embodiments, the second rib structure 420 can also be other rib structures.
[0041] In this embodiment, a reflective contrasting color structure 610 is provided around the cuff of the sock body 100, specifically a reflective contrasting color line, which serves as a warning and improves the safety factor for nighttime travel. Furthermore, a lining contrasting color structure 620 is provided around the cuff of the sock body 100, near the sock leg, enhancing the sock's aesthetics. On the side of the lining contrasting color structure 620 near the heel of the sock body 100, a reflective mark is provided at the sock leg, serving both aesthetic and nighttime warning purposes. A usage mark is provided on the upper of the sock body 100 near the little toe for easy identification of left and right feet.
[0042] In this embodiment, the entire body of the sock 100 (except for the toe area) is made of elastic elastic, which makes the entire body of the sock 100 fit the foot better and has a better sense of wrapping and support.
[0043] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The sock body 100 features five independent toe covers 700 at the toe area. This makes it a five-toe sock, allowing each toe to move independently, reducing pressure between toes and preventing blisters and bacterial infections caused by friction. Additionally, the five independent toe covers 700 provide an extra layer of moisture-wicking material between the toes, keeping feet drier during exercise.
[0044] The above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
