Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sock technology, specifically to a sock cuff and sports socks. Background Technology

[0002] Socks can cover the athlete's calves or higher, primarily protecting them from chafing and impact injuries. Especially in intense football matches, athletes' calves are easily kicked by opposing players or struck by the ball. Socks can effectively reduce these injuries while providing some support to the calf muscles, helping athletes generate more power and improve athletic performance.

[0003] During wear, the pressure exerted by the athlete's calf muscles on the sock leg causes some areas of the sock to become tense. This results in the calf being more tightly covered, creating a reaction force that can affect blood circulation and comfort during exercise, ultimately impacting athletic performance. To address the problem of this tension, current technology typically involves cutting holes in the sock leg at the points of tension to reduce the reaction force. However, this cutting method has several drawbacks: First, the cut shapes are irregular: due to a lack of precise control during the cutting process, the resulting holes are often irregularly shaped, affecting not only aesthetics but also potentially the durability of the sock leg. Second, they are prone to snagging: the edges of the cut holes are prone to snagging, reducing the lifespan of the sock leg.

[0004] Although a football sock with patent authorization publication number CN 221843865 U provides a sock body and a sock tube disposed on the sock body, the sock tube is provided with a plurality of connecting holes communicating with the inner cavity of the sock tube. During the process of wearing the football sock, the leg applies pressure to the sock tube, causing the sock tube to tighten. During the tightening process, the connecting holes expand, allowing the sock tube to have more expansion space. This reduces the pressure required to expand the sock tube by the same distance, thereby reducing the reaction force exerted by the sock tube on the leg, reducing the pressure on the leg, and making blood flow in the calf less likely to be affected, thus making the calf area more comfortable. However, each athlete's calf muscle condition is different, and the designed connecting holes cannot be tailored to the leg circumference of every athlete. This results in some parts of the sock tube remaining tight, affecting blood circulation in the calf; or some parts being too loose, failing to wrap around the calf and provide support for the calf muscles, affecting the wearing effect and comfort. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above problems, this application provides a sock cuff that solves the problem of not being able to adjust the tension of the sock cuff in a personalized way.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the inventor provides a sock tube, which includes a sock tube body and a connector. The sock tube body is provided with a plurality of pressure-reducing parts. The connector connects the two sides of the pressure-reducing parts so that the two sides of the pressure-reducing parts are close to each other so that the sock tube body maintains a preset shape.

[0007] Furthermore, the connector is a connecting wire.

[0008] Furthermore, the connecting line is integrally woven with the sock body.

[0009] Furthermore, the connecting lines can be straight, zigzag, diagonal, or intersecting.

[0010] Furthermore, the connector is detachably connected to both sides of the pressure-reducing part.

[0011] Furthermore, the connector connects the pressure-reducing part to both sides along the central axis of the inner cavity of the stocking body.

[0012] Furthermore, the pressure relief part is provided with a hole in the sock body leading to the inner cavity of the sock body, and the connector connects the two sides of the hole so that the two sides of the hole are close to each other.

[0013] Furthermore, the pressure relief section is an expansion area located in the body of the sock, and the connector connects the two sides of the expansion area so that the two sides of the hole are close to each other, and squeezes the expansion area into the inner cavity of the body of the sock.

[0014] Furthermore, the rear body of the sock body is provided with a number of support and anti-slip zones at intervals along the central axis of the inner cavity of the sock body, and the pressure relief part is provided on the support and anti-slip zones.

[0015] A sports sock comprising a sock body and a sock cuff, wherein the sock cuff is the aforementioned sock cuff.

[0016] Unlike existing technologies, the above-mentioned technical solution features several pressure-relief sections on the sock body, connected by connectors on both sides. These connectors bring the sides of the pressure-relief sections together, maintaining the sock body's pre-set shape when not in use. When worn, the design can be flexibly adjusted according to each athlete's calf circumference. For certain sections of the sock body that are under tension, releasing the tension at those locations by disengaging the connectors from the pressure-relief sections. Specifically, disengaging the connectors only at the tightest points on the sock body allows the pressure-relief sections to expand, increasing the internal space of the sock body and effectively reducing pressure on the calf. This reduces the resulting reaction force, making blood flow in the calf less affected and providing greater comfort.

[0045] See Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a sock leg 10, which has several pressure-reducing parts 1011 on the sock leg body 101. The two sides of the pressure-reducing parts 1011 are connected by connectors 102. The two sides of the pressure-reducing parts 1011 are gathered by the connectors 102, so that the sock leg body 101 maintains a stable preset shape when not in use. When wearing, it can be flexibly adjusted according to the leg circumference of each athlete's calf. Some parts of the sock leg body 101 are in a tense state. By releasing the connection of the connectors 102 to the two sides of the pressure-reducing parts 1011 at the corresponding positions, the tension at that position can be released. Specifically, the connectors 102 are released only at the tight positions of the sock leg body 101, so that the pressure-reducing parts 1011 are unfolded, thereby expanding the space of the inner cavity of the sock leg body 101 at that position, effectively relieving the pressure of the sock leg body 101 on the calf, reducing the resulting reaction force, and making the blood flow in the calf less affected, thus making it more comfortable.

[0046] The sock cuff 10 described in this utility model can be used alone, perfectly adapting to various occasions requiring calf support or specific protection; at the same time, it can also be part of various styles of sports socks; the sock cuff 10 is suitable for outdoor adventure, long-term standing work, or specific rehabilitation training, sports protection, etc.; it is especially suitable for high-intensity competitive sports such as football and basketball, as well as endurance sports such as running and hiking.

[0047] Combination Figures 1-5 As shown, the following provides a specific embodiment of a sock tube 10, which includes a sock tube body 101 and a connector 102. The sock tube body 101 is provided with a plurality of pressure relief parts 1011. The connector 102 connects the two sides of the pressure relief parts 1011 so that the two sides of the pressure relief parts 1011 are close to each other so that the sock tube body 101 maintains a preset shape.

[0048] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the aforementioned pressure-reducing section 1011 is used to expand the space within the inner cavity of the stocking body 101 at that location, releasing tension at that position. See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connector 102 connects the two sides of the pressure-reducing part 1011, bringing the two sides of the pressure-reducing part 1011 closer together. This can either create an abutment between the two sides of the pressure-reducing part 1011 or create a gap between the two sides. See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the preset shape of the sock body 101 refers to the sock body 101 conforming to general or average ergonomic considerations, aiming to provide basic fit and support; by connecting the two sides of the pressure relief part 1011 are brought closer together through the connector 102, the sock body 101 can maintain this preset shape when not in use or when not adjusted for a specific athlete. The pressure relief part 1011 can be irregular in shape or regular in shape, such as circular, elliptical, rectangular, or rhomboid.

[0049] The aforementioned connector 102 can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection. See also Figure 2 As shown, in the detachable connection, the connector 102 can be a zipper 1022, Velcro, a buckle, etc. See also... Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, taking a fixed connection as an example, the connector 102 can be a connecting line 1021. The connecting line 1021 connects to both sides of the pressure-reducing part 1011, providing opposing tensions to both sides of the pressure-reducing part 1011. When the connection of the connector 102 at the corresponding position to both sides of the pressure-reducing part 1011 is released, the tension at that position can be released by directly pulling one end of the connecting line 1021 to remove it or by cutting it, reducing manpower and material costs, lowering weaving costs and improving weaving efficiency in mass production. The connecting line 1021 connects to both sides of the pressure-reducing part 1011. It can be used to sew the two sides of the pressure-reducing part 1011 together with the connecting line 1021 after the sock body 101 is woven and formed; or it can be formed together with the sock body 101 during weaving. Preferably, the connecting line 1021 is formed together with the sock body 101 during weaving and connected to both sides of the pressure-reducing part 1011. This design ensures that the connecting thread 1021 is tightly connected to both sides of the pressure-reducing part 1011, preventing it from easily falling off or loosening during wear, thus improving the strength and durability of the connection. Furthermore, the connecting thread 1021, spanning both sides of the pressure-reducing part 1011 and formed together, evenly distributes force, preventing pressure concentration at certain points caused by worker sewing, which could lead to excessive stress on parts of the pressure-reducing part 1011 and deformation or damage to its shape. When weaving the connecting thread 1021, a half-needle is preferred. When disconnecting the connecting piece 102 from both sides of the pressure-reducing part 1011, the connecting thread 1021 can be pulled out from one end, reducing the time and effort required for manual removal. Specifically, during the weaving process, the connecting thread 1021 is hooked onto both sides of the pressure-reducing part 1011.

[0050] The connecting line 1021 connects the two sides of the pressure reducing unit 1011 and can be in a straight line, Z-shape, oblique line, or cross shape. Preferably, the connecting line 1021 is Z-shaped (see...). Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the ends of the connecting line 1021 extend from one end of the pressure-reducing part 1011 to the other end in a Z-shape; the Z-shape of the connecting line 1021 can increase the contact area between the connecting line 1021 and the two sides of the pressure-reducing part 1011, which can effectively prevent the connecting line 1021 from easily loosening or breaking, and increase the stability and durability of the connection; and the Z-shaped connecting line 1021 can evenly distribute the force on both sides of the pressure-reducing part 1011 during the connection process, which can reduce the local pressure on the connecting line 1021 and the sock body 101, and avoid excessive force leading to breakage or damage.

[0051] See Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the two sides of the aforementioned pressure-reducing section 1011 can be either side in any direction. Preferably, the connector 102 connects the two sides of the pressure-reducing section 1011 along the central axis a of the inner cavity of the stocking body. When the two sides of the pressure-reducing section 1011 are connected by the connector 102 along the central axis of the inner cavity of the stocking body 101, these pressure-reducing sections 1011 can more effectively maintain the preset shape of the stocking body 101 when they are not released (i.e., the connector 102 remains connected). Once the connector 102 at a specific position is released according to the actual leg circumference of the athlete's calf, the pressure-reducing section 1011 will expand along the outer periphery of the stocking body 101, thereby maximizing the release of pressure in that area and providing a more significant pressure-reducing effect.

[0052] The aforementioned pressure-reducing section 1011 is used to expand the space within the inner cavity of the stocking body 101 at that location, releasing tension at that position. See also Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the aforementioned pressure-reducing part 1011 is a hole 10111 provided on the sock body 101 leading to the inner cavity of the sock body 101. The connecting member 102 connects the two sides of the hole 10111 so that the two sides of the hole 10111 are close to each other. Specifically, when the connecting member 102 is a connecting line 1021, the pressure-reducing part 1011 of the sock body 101 is knitted by forward and reverse knitting directions, and is turned at the two edges of the hole 10111. The starting needle positions on both sides of the hole 10111 are hooked to the connecting line 1021. See also Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the pressure-reducing part 1011 is an expansion area 10112 located in the sock body 101. The connector 102 connects the two sides of the expansion area 10112 to bring the two sides of the hole 10111 closer to each other, and squeezes the expansion area 10112 towards the inner cavity of the sock body 10 (for better aesthetics) or towards the outer side of the sock body 10 (for comfortable wear). The expansion area 10112 can be a protrusion along the radial direction of the inner cavity of the sock body 101, or a fold along the outer periphery of the sock body 101. When knitting the sock body 101, this can be achieved by gradually increasing the number of knit rows from the starting knit row to the middle knit row on both sides of the expansion area 10112, and gradually decreasing the number of knit rows from the middle knit row to the ending knit row. When the connector 102 is released when the sock body 101 is taut, the expansion area 10112 unfolds, releasing the tension at that position and effectively relieving the pressure of the sock body 101 on the calf.

[0053] In embodiments not shown, to further absorb and disperse the tension originally borne by the sock body 101 and reduce pressure on the calf, the pressure-reducing portion 1011 can be dynamically adjusted according to the actual shape of the calf to better fit the calf contour of different athletes. The elasticity of the expansion area 10112 can be greater than that of the non-expansion area 10112 (i.e., the area of ​​the sock body 101 without pressure reduction 1011). When the connector 102 is released and the sock body 101 is still in a tensioned state, the expansion area 10112 can more effectively absorb and disperse tension, reducing pressure on the calf. The highly elastic expansion area 10112 can better adapt to the movement and shape changes of the calf, reducing material fatigue and damage caused by frequent stretching and compression, and improving the durability of the sock body 10.

[0054] See Figure 5 As shown, in order to further disperse the pressure of the sock 10 on the calf, in some embodiments, the rear body of the sock body 101 is provided with a plurality of support and anti-slip zones 1012 at intervals along the central axis a of the inner cavity of the sock body, and the pressure relief part 1011 is provided on the support and anti-slip zone 1012.

[0055] The rear part of the sock body 101 refers to the position of the sock body 101 corresponding to the athlete's calf muscles. The function of the aforementioned support and anti-slip zone 1012 is to make the sock body 10 fit the athlete's calf more closely, providing the athlete with necessary support and cushioning. This not only helps reduce muscle fatigue during exercise but also helps prevent sports injuries to a certain extent. It also provides an upward lifting force, effectively preventing the sock body 10 from slipping down during exercise, thereby greatly improving comfort and stability during exercise. The support and anti-slip zone 1012 can be designed with, but is not limited to, a corrugated, mesh, or jacquard pattern with specific geometric designs, which enhances the fixation effect of the sock body 10 while further improving the breathability and sweat-wicking performance of the sock body 10. These designs are not only aesthetically pleasing but also help to quickly wick away excess moisture during exercise, keeping the feet dry and reducing discomfort caused by dampness.

[0056] See Figure 5 As shown, this utility model also provides a sports sock, including a sock body 20 and a sock leg 10. The sock leg 10 is the sock leg 10 described above. By providing a pressure-reducing part 1011 in the sports sock, and by using a connector 102 to gather the two sides of the pressure-reducing part 1011, the sock leg body 101 maintains a stable preset shape when not in use. It can be flexibly adjusted according to the leg circumference of each athlete's calf. Only when the sock leg body 101 is tight can the connector 102 be released to expand the pressure-reducing part 1011, thereby increasing the space inside the sock leg body 101 at that location. This effectively relieves the pressure of the sock leg body 101 on the calf, reduces the resulting reaction force, and makes the blood flow in the calf less affected, resulting in greater comfort.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application.
