Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sock technology, specifically to a foot and ankle ligament sock. Background Technology

[0002] Ankle sprains are a common form of sports injury, often caused by sudden twisting or improper turning of the ankle joint, leading to overstretching or even tearing of the surrounding ligaments.

[0003] Currently, products designed to prevent ankle sprains primarily focus on sole design, limiting excessive ankle movement by adjusting the height of the inner and outer sides of the sole or adding support plates. However, sole design only works at the critical point of injury, and because it involves sudden external force intervention, its reaction time is short and the torsional torque is enormous for instantaneous ankle injuries, resulting in poor actual effectiveness in preventing ankle sprains. Socks, on the other hand, are in direct contact with the foot and offer better support and adaptability to the ankle compared to shoe soles. Optimized design can provide more support and stability, offering significant potential for additional ankle protection. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ankle ligament stocking, which aims to improve the poor effectiveness of existing products for preventing ankle sprains.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An ankle ligament stocking, comprising the stocking body;

[0007] The sock body includes a sock bottom worn on the foot, a sock leg section worn on the leg, and an ankle section located between the sock bottom and the sock leg section;

[0008] A base band is provided on the bottom surface of the sock bottom, one end of the base band is connected to a first elastic band, and the other end of the base band is connected to a second elastic band;

[0036] Example

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an ankle ligament stocking, including a stocking body 1; the stocking body 1 includes a stocking bottom 10 worn on the foot, a stocking leg portion 11 worn on the leg, and an ankle portion 12 located between the stocking bottom 10 and the stocking leg portion 11; a base band 101 is provided on the bottom surface of the stocking bottom 10, one end of the base band 101 is connected to a first elastic band 14, and the other end of the base band 101 is connected to a second elastic band 15; the first elastic band 14 and the second elastic band 15 are cross-wound from the stocking bottom 10 to the stocking leg portion 11, and the first elastic band 14 and the second elastic band 15 are cross-wound at least once.

[0038] Specifically, the first elastic band 14 and the second elastic band 15 are cross-wound and wrapped around the sock body 1, and the parts where the first elastic band 14 and the second elastic band 15 connect with the base band 101 are sewn together on the sock body 1 to form a fixing point, thereby using the elasticity of the first elastic band 14 and the second elastic band 15 to provide wrapping and support for the human foot. The first elastic band 14 is located on the inside of the sock body 1 and extends upward along the instep of the bottom of the sock 10 to the ankle 12, wraps around the ankle 12 and continues to extend to the sock leg 11; the second elastic band 15 is located on the outside of the sock body 1, extends upward along the instep of the bottom of the sock 10 to the ankle 12 and crosses with the first elastic band 14 at the instep position, wraps around the ankle 12 and continues to extend to the sock leg 11, so that the first elastic band 14 and the second elastic band 15 apply balanced tension in the upright position of the ankle, ensuring the stability of the ankle joint. Furthermore, as the range of motion of the ankle joint increases, the elasticity of the first elastic band 14 and the second elastic band 15 also increases accordingly, transforming from support to enhanced protection, in order to adapt to different sports needs, effectively prevent sprains, and provide the wearer with flexible and stable foot and ankle protection.

[0039] Meanwhile, the first elastic band 14 and the second elastic band 15 extend from the bottom 10 of the sock to the leg 11, ensuring that the direction of elasticity is consistent with the direction of muscle contraction, thereby providing continuous external assistance during exercise. Since the sock body 1 is in direct contact with the foot, the placement of the first elastic band 14 and the second elastic band 15 on the sock body 1 enhances proprioception and injury prevention in the ankle, further optimizing athletic performance. Furthermore, the width of the first elastic band 14 and the second elastic band 15 can be set to 2-3 cm, ensuring sufficient support while maintaining comfort when wearing the ankle ligament sock.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the first elastic band 14 and the second elastic band 15 are provided with multiple elastic sections from the instep of the sock bottom 10 to the ankle 12, and the elasticity of one elastic section is greater than or less than the elasticity of the adjacent elastic section. By adjusting the elasticity in segments, more precise support and protection can be achieved, adapting to the needs of different stages of exercise and improving overall stability.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the elastic part is provided with three sections. The three sections of the elastic part are a high elastic part 141, a medium elastic part 142, and a light elastic part 143 connected in sequence from the instep of the bottom of the sock 10 to the ankle 12. The elasticity of the medium elastic part 142 is greater than that of the light elastic part 143, and the elasticity of the medium elastic part 142 is less than that of the high elastic part 141.

[0042] Specifically, the mild elastic portion 143 stretches during normal ankle joint movement, assisting and increasing proprioception, thereby better activating the body's muscles and enhancing the natural protection of the ankle joint. During exercise, as the ankle joint's range of motion increases, the mild elastic portion 143 is fully stretched, at which point the moderate elastic portion 142 stretches, providing even stronger assistance. During intense exercise or fatigue, the ankle joint's range of motion further increases, approaching the edge of injury. At this point, both the mild elastic portion 143 and the moderate elastic portion 142 are fully stretched, and the high elastic portion 141 stretches and begins to function, providing strong assistance to protect the ankle joint from injury and prevent inversion or eversion of the foot and ankle.

[0043] Thus, through the segmented elasticity design, low elasticity can be provided when the range of motion of the ankle joint is small, and the elasticity is correspondingly enhanced as the range of motion increases. This provides more effective protection for the ankle joint in a larger range of motion without hindering normal ankle joint movement.

[0044] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the high-elasticity part 141, the medium-elasticity part 142, and the low-elasticity part 143 are all of the same length. In a preferred embodiment, the lengths of the high-elasticity part 141, the medium-elasticity part 142, and the low-elasticity part 143 are all set to 5 cm. The elasticity of the low-elasticity part 143 is 10-20 N, the elasticity of the medium-elasticity part 142 is 20-40 N, and the elasticity of the high-elasticity part 141 is 50 N. The precise coordination of different elasticity values ​​among the various elastic parts ensures that appropriate support and protection are provided under different movement conditions.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first elastic band 14 and the second elastic band 15 also include a fixing part 144, which is connected to the highly elastic part 141 and is wound around the sock leg part 11. By winding the fixing part 144 around the sock leg part 11, the positions of the first elastic band 14 and the second elastic band 15 are fixed, further improving the support effect and ensuring sports safety.

[0046] Furthermore, the sock leg portion 11 is provided with a first connector (not shown in the figure), the first elastic band 14 is provided with a second connector (not shown in the figure) that is fixedly connected to or separated from the first connector, and the second elastic band 15 is provided with a third connector (not shown in the figure) that is fixedly connected to or separated from the first connector. The second and third connectors are Velcro, and the first connector is a hook or loop side that is attached to the Velcro. The Velcro is integrally formed and provided at the end of the elastic portion of the first elastic band 14 and the second elastic band 15, preferably at the end of the light elastic portion 143, so that the user can adjust it according to their own needs to achieve good fit and support performance.

[0047] In this embodiment, the elasticity of the base band 101 is less than the minimum elasticity of the elastic portion of the first elastic band 14 or the second elastic band 15. Furthermore, the base band 101 is fixedly disposed on the bottom surface of the stocking bottom 10. Thus, the base band 101 can provide a stable support base without affecting the segmented protection function of each elastic portion.

[0048] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the sock body 1 is provided with multiple limiting bands 13 that limit the movement of the first elastic band 14 and / or the second elastic band 15. The first elastic band 14 and / or the second elastic band 15 are fitted inside the limiting bands 13. Specifically, the free ends of the first elastic band 14 and / or the second elastic band 15 can move within the limiting bands 13. The limiting bands 13 restrict the range of movement of the first elastic band 14 and / or the second elastic band 15, ensuring that they always provide support along a set path when stretched.

[0049] In this embodiment, the fixed end of the limiting band 13 is fixedly connected to the base band 101, and the open end of the limiting band 13 extends from the instep of the sock bottom 10 to a position 8-12cm above the ankle 12. This ensures that the first elastic band 14 and / or the second elastic band 15 always wrap around the key parts of the ankle, providing precise support and protection, effectively preventing sports injuries, and ensuring that the first elastic band 14 and the second elastic band 15 do not deviate from the preset path during exercise.

[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
