Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of running sock technology, specifically to a breathable running sock with a porous fiber structure. Background Technology

[0002] Running socks are socks specifically designed and manufactured for running. They are significantly different from regular cotton socks or everyday socks. Their main goals are to improve running comfort, prevent blisters, manage foot moisture, provide cushioning and protection, and optimize running performance.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese Patent Application No. CN202420280691.4 discloses a running sock, including a sock body comprising a main knitted portion and an arch knitted portion. The main knitted portion and the arch knitted portion are connected together to form a receiving cavity for accommodating the foot. The arch knitted portion corresponds to the arch position and is constructed using a mixed yarn woven into a looped structure. The mixed yarn includes interwoven first yarn and second yarn, where the first yarn is an elastic yarn, or both the first and second yarns are elastic yarns. Compared to the prior art, the mixed yarn is tightened by the looped structure, which restricts the elasticity of the arch knitted portion in the front-to-back direction while retaining the elasticity in the left-to-right direction.

[0004] Based on the above information, it can be seen that the purpose of running socks is to provide runners with better protection and comfort. However, in actual use, runners' feet are very active and prone to sweating during running. If the socks are not breathable, it will cause stuffy feet and discomfort. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a breathable running sock with a porous fiber structure to solve the problem of stuffy feet caused by poor breathability mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a breathable running sock with a porous fiber structure, comprising an upper and a long sock tube, wherein an elastic band is fixedly installed at the upper end of the sock tube, and a pressure band is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rear side of the sock tube, the pressure band corresponding to the position of the calf muscle, and the pressure band comprising interlaced transverse elastic strips and longitudinal elastic strips, a first breathable part is provided at the bottom of the upper, and a second breathable part is provided at equal intervals on the front side of the sock tube, and both the first and second breathable parts are made of porous bamboo fiber material.

[0007] Preferably, the first breathable part corresponds to the arch of the foot, and the second breathable part corresponds to the front of the lower leg.

[0008] Preferably, the outer surface of the sock is provided with a first abrasion-resistant pad and a second abrasion-resistant pad, the first abrasion-resistant pad corresponding to the heel position and the second abrasion-resistant pad corresponding to the toe position.

[0009] Preferably, both the first and second wear-resistant pads are made of coarse fiber fabric.

[0010] Preferably, the outer surface of the sock is provided with a first protective pad and a second protective pad made of sponge material, the first protective pad corresponding to the ankle position and the second protective pad corresponding to the contact position between the heel and the edge of the shoe.

[0011] Preferably, a ring-shaped Velcro is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the upper end of the sock, and a reflective strip for night running is attached to the outside of the ring-shaped Velcro.

[0012] Preferably, the sock surface includes a sweat-absorbing layer, an antibacterial layer, and a stain-resistant layer. The sweat-absorbing layer is made of pure cotton, the antibacterial layer is made of silver-rich fiber, and the stain-resistant layer is made of polyester fiber.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: this breathable running sock with a porous fiber structure adopts a novel structural design, the specific details of which are as follows:

[0014] 1. The sock upper and the sock cuff are respectively provided with a first breathable part and a second breathable part. The first breathable part corresponds to the foot and the second breathable part corresponds to the calf. The porous bamboo fiber fabric of the first and second breathable parts ensures its breathability, and the bamboo charcoal fiber has a certain antibacterial effect.

[0015] Furthermore, pressure bands are set on the back surface of the sock. The pressure bands are divided into horizontal elastic strips and vertical elastic strips. The horizontal and vertical elastic strips are used to apply pressure to the calf muscles, thereby reducing the muscle fibers in the calf muscles during running and reducing the risk of muscle strain due to excessive muscle movement.

[0016] 2. The front and back ends of the sock are equipped with a first abrasion-resistant pad and a second abrasion-resistant pad, corresponding to the heel and toe positions respectively. Since the toe and heel positions experience greater wear and tear during running, the first and second abrasion-resistant pads, woven from coarse fibers, are used to improve abrasion resistance.

[0017] Furthermore, a ring-shaped Velcro closure is installed on the upper outer part of the sock. When running at night, reflective strips can be attached to the outside of the ring-shaped Velcro closure to achieve reflectivity and improve safety during night runs. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-2 and Figure 5 In order to improve breathability, this embodiment provides the following technical solution, specifically disclosing: a sock upper 1 and a sock tube 2 with a long structure. An elastic band 3 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the sock tube 2, and a pressure band 4 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the back side of the sock tube 2. The pressure band 4 corresponds to the position of the calf muscle, and the pressure band 4 includes intersecting horizontal elastic strips 401 and vertical elastic strips 402. A first breathable part 5 is provided at the bottom of the sock upper 1, and a second breathable part 6 is provided at equal intervals on the front side of the sock tube 2. Both the first breathable part 5 and the second breathable part 6 are made of porous bamboo fiber. The first breathable part 5 corresponds to the arch of the foot, and the second breathable part 6 corresponds to the front side of the calf. The sock upper 1 includes a sweat-absorbing layer 101, an antibacterial layer 102, and a stain-resistant layer 103. The sweat-absorbing layer 101 is made of pure cotton, the antibacterial layer 102 is made of silver ion-rich fiber, and the stain-resistant layer 103 is made of polyester fiber.

[0026] When runners wear socks, foot movements cause air to circulate inside the shoes. At this time, the first breathable part 5 and the second breathable part 6 made of porous bamboo fiber material ensure the overall breathability of the socks, thereby reducing the discomfort of stuffy feet. In addition, during running, the pressure band 4 on the back of the sock 2 applies pressure to the calf muscles (the pressure band 4 is divided into two parts: a horizontal elastic strip 401 and a vertical elastic strip 402, which use the elasticity of both to apply pressure to the calf muscles), thereby limiting the large-scale shaking of the calf muscles and reducing the possibility of muscle strain caused by irregular large-scale shaking during running.

[0027] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 3-4 In order to improve the safety of night running, this embodiment provides the following technical solution, specifically: a first abrasion-resistant pad 7 and a second abrasion-resistant pad 8 are provided on the outside of the sock upper 1. The first abrasion-resistant pad 7 corresponds to the heel position, and the second abrasion-resistant pad 8 corresponds to the toe position. Both the first abrasion-resistant pad 7 and the second abrasion-resistant pad 8 are made of coarse fiber fabric. A first protective pad 9 and a second protective pad 10 made of sponge material are provided on the outside of the sock upper 1. The first protective pad 9 corresponds to the ankle position, and the second protective pad 10 corresponds to the position where the heel contacts the edge of the shoe. A ring-shaped Velcro 11 is fixedly provided on the upper outer surface of the sock cuff 2, and a reflective strip 12 for night running is attached to the outside of the ring-shaped Velcro 11.

[0028] During running, the friction between the toes and heels and the shoes is most frequent. At this time, the first abrasion-resistant pad 7 and the second abrasion-resistant pad 8 are used to improve the abrasion resistance and extend the overall lifespan of the socks. In addition, soft first protective pad 9 and second protective pad 10 are set at the ankle and heel to reduce abrasion in these two areas during running. When running at night, the reflective strip 12 is attached to the outside of the ring Velcro 11 on the upper part of the sock 2. The reflective strip 12 reflects the light of oncoming vehicles to achieve the purpose of warning and improve the safety of running at night.
