Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a wearing tool. [Background technology]

[0002] In the past, a shoe was described as having a tabi part having at least an instep part and a sole part, a triangular wedge part provided on the toe side of each of the instep part and the sole part, the triangular wedge part having the sock width line on the first toe side as viewed from above as a base and an acute angled apex located on the sock width line on the fifth toe stall side or on the way to the sock width line on the fifth toe stall side, first to fifth toe stalls in which the base positions of at least the fourth toe stall and the fifth toe stall are inclined or curved toward the heel more than the base positions of at least the first toe stall and the second toe stall, and A five-toed sock has been proposed, which has a base part where the base parts of adjacent toe stalls are connected so that the base part is inclined or curved toward the heel more than the base parts of the first and second toe stalls, and a linking line at a position where the base part and the instep side of the tabi part are connected, and the linking line has a shape that is inclined or curved toward the heel more than the positions corresponding to at least the fourth and fifth toes at least at the positions corresponding to the first and second toes (see, for example, JP 2017-043868 A). In this five-toed sock, the ring finger and little finger are less likely to slip off the toe stalls than in normal five-toed socks. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2017-043868 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Incidentally, the five-toed socks described above seem to be quite effective during relatively light exercise such as slow walking, but there is a risk that the little toe (fifth toe) may slip out of the toe pouch during relatively intense exercise such as fast walking or running, or the complex movements involved in various sports.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a wearing tool that prevents the little toe (fifth toe) from slipping off the toe pouch even during relatively vigorous exercise such as that described above. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The wearing device according to the first aspect of the present invention is knitted by a circular knitting machine and is a wearing device that covers at least the foot, and includes an inner toe pouch, an outer toe pouch, and a foot part. Note that "toe" in this specification is synonymous with "toes". In addition, in this specification, the foot part does not include the toe pouch. The inner toe pouch covers at least the first toe. The outer toe pouch covers at least the fifth toe. Note that multiple toes may be inserted into the toe pouch, but the number is four or less. The foot part has an inner region and an outer region. The inner region includes the same wale stitches as the part corresponding to the base of the first toe, but does not include the same wale stitches as the outer toe pouch. The outer region includes the same wale stitches as the outer toe pouch, but does not include the same wale stitches as the part corresponding to the base of the first toe. And, the extensibility of the inner region is higher than that of the outer region.

[0007] In this wearing tool, the medial region has higher extensibility than the lateral region. Therefore, this wearing tool can pull the toe pouch that can cover the fifth toe (little toe) toward the heel side when worn, and can suppress deformation of the toe pouch during exercise. Therefore, with this wearing tool, the little toe (fifth toe) is less likely to slip off the toe pouch even during relatively intense exercise.

[0008] A wearing tool according to a second aspect of the present invention is the wearing tool according to the first aspect, in which the inner region includes a high stretch area and the outer region includes a low stretch area, and the high stretch area exhibits higher stretchability than the low stretch area.

[0009] Therefore, this wearing tool is relatively easy to manufacture and manufacturing costs can be kept low.

[0010] A wearing tool according to a third aspect of the present invention is the wearing tool according to the second aspect, wherein the high extensibility portion has a sector or wedge shape in which the number of courses on the inner side is greater than the number of courses on the outer side.

[0011] Therefore, with this wearing tool, it is possible to increase the extensibility on the inside of the high extensibility area and decrease the extensibility on the outside.

[0012] A wearing device according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the wearing device according to the second or third aspect, and the foot portion is a basic constituent part that has lower extensibility than the high stretch area and higher extensibility than the low stretch area.

[0013] That is, the wearing tool is mainly composed of a basic component part, a high stretch part, and a low stretch part, and therefore, with this wearing tool, the object of the present invention can be achieved while providing other necessary characteristics such as heat retention and breathability to the basic component parts.

[0014] A wearing device according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the wearing device according to any one of the second to fourth aspects, and the high-stretch portion is formed to include a portion corresponding to the base of the first toe.

[0015] A wearing device according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the wearing device according to any one of the second to fifth aspects, and the low-stretch area is formed to include an area corresponding to the base of the fifth toe.

[0016] A wearing tool according to a seventh aspect of the present invention is the wearing tool according to any one of the first to sixth aspects, wherein in the foot part, the side length on the first toe side is longer than the side length on the fifth toe side.

[0017] Therefore, this wearing device makes it even more difficult for the little toe (fifth toe) to slip out of the toe pouch.

[0018] A wearing device according to an eighth aspect of the present invention is the wearing device according to the seventh aspect, wherein the ratio of the side length on the first toe side when a tension of 3.5 kg is applied to the side length on the fifth toe side when a tension of 3.5 kg is applied is within a range of 1.04 or more and 1.27 or less.

[0019] The above ratio range is determined based on actual measurements of the feet of many people, so that many people can experience the effect of preventing the fifth toe from slipping out of the toe pouch.

[0020] A wearing device according to a ninth aspect of the present invention is a wearing device according to any one of the first to eighth aspects, in which the ratio of the side length of the inner region when a tension of 3.5 kg is applied to the side length of the first toe side when a tension of 3.5 kg is applied is within a range of 0.13 to 0.31.

[0021] The above numerical ranges are suitable ratio ranges for the lateral length from the base of the first toe to the heel, and the dimensions of the proximal phalanx and metatarsal bone, so that the first toe pouch fits the first big toe and prevents the fifth toe pouch from slipping off due to being pulled toward the toes.

[0022] A wearing device according to a tenth aspect of the present invention is a wearing device according to any one of the first to ninth aspects, wherein a ratio of a side length of an outer region when a tension of 3.5 kg is applied to a side length of a fifth toe side when a tension of 3.5 kg is applied is within a range of 0.02 or more and 0.18 or less.

[0023] The above numerical range is a ratio range suitable for the lateral length from the base of the fifth toe to the heel, and the dimensions of the proximal phalanx and metatarsal bone. This makes it difficult for the fifth toe pouch to be pulled toward the toes, and prevents the fifth toe from slipping off.

[0024] A wearing tool according to an eleventh aspect of the present invention is the wearing tool according to any one of the first to tenth aspects, wherein a ratio of a side length of an inner region when a tension of 3.5 kg is applied to a side length of an outer region when a tension of 3.5 kg is applied is within a range of 1.5 to 10.

[0025] The above numerical range is a ratio range suitable for the dimensions of the proximal phalanges and metatarsals of the first and fifth toes, which makes it difficult for the fifth toe pouch to be pulled toward the toes, preventing the fifth toe from slipping off and providing a good fit.

[0026] The wearing device according to a twelfth aspect of the present invention is knitted by a circular knitting machine and covers at least the foot, and includes an inner toe pouch, an outer toe pouch, and a foot part. The inner toe pouch covers at least the first toe. The outer toe pouch covers at least the fifth toe. Note that, although multiple toes may be inserted into the toe pouch, the number is four or less. The foot part has an inner region and an outer region. The inner region includes stitches on the same wale as the part corresponding to the base of the first toe, but does not include stitches on the same wale as the outer toe pouch. The outer region includes stitches on the same wale as the outer toe pouch, but does not include stitches on the same wale as the part corresponding to the base of the first toe. The elasticity of the outer region is higher than that of the inner region.

[0027] In this wearing tool, the elasticity of the outer region is higher than that of the inner region. Therefore, this wearing tool can pull the toe pouch that can cover the fifth toe (little toe) toward the heel side when worn, and can suppress deformation of the toe pouch during exercise. Therefore, with this wearing tool, the little toe (fifth toe) is less likely to slip off the toe pouch even during relatively intense exercise. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 2] FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of knitting of a toe pouch of an attachment with toe pouch according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Diagram 3] 1 is a diagram showing the positional relationship of a high stretch portion of an attachment with a toe pouch according to an embodiment of the present invention with respect to the foot bones. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0029] <Configuration of the wearing device with toe pouch according to the embodiment of the present invention> The toe pouch wearing device according to the embodiment of the present invention is knitted by a circular knitting machine and is a device with toe pouches that covers at least the foot, such as socks, tabi socks, foot covers, stockings, tights, etc. An example of the toe pouch wearing device according to the embodiment of the present invention is a foot wearing device with five toe pouches 100 shown in Fig. 1. Below, the foot wearing device with five toe pouches 100 will be described in detail, and a configuration that can be allowed in the present invention will be described.

[0030] The foot wearing tool 100 with toe pouches shown in FIG. 1 is mainly composed of a foot part 160, a first toe pouch part 110, a second toe pouch part 120, a third toe pouch part 130, a fourth toe pouch part 140, and a fifth toe pouch part 150. The foot wearing tool 100 with toe pouches may further be formed with a leg part, a panty part, etc. The leg part is a part that covers a part or the whole of the leg. The panty part is a part that covers a part or the whole of the area from the crotch to the waist. Examples of products that have both a leg part and a panty part include stockings and tights.

[0031] The foot part 160 is a part that covers the foot. Here, the toe pouch parts 110 to 150 are not included in the foot part 160. When the leg part is formed in the foot wearing tool 100 with five toe pouches, the leg part extends upward from the heel side end of the foot part 160. As shown in FIG. 1, the side length L1 of the first toe pouch side of the foot part 160 is made slightly longer than the side length L5 of the fifth toe pouch side (in other words, the side length L5 of the fifth toe pouch side of the foot part 160 is made slightly shorter than the side length L1 of the first toe pouch side). It is preferable that such a relationship of the side lengths is realized to the limit that can be realized by a circular knitting machine. For example, the following method can be mentioned as a method for realizing such a relationship of the side lengths. The toe pouches are knitted in sequence from the fifth toe pouch to the first toe pouch by repeating the sequence of narrowing, widening, and full-circle knitting (see Fig. 2. In Fig. 2, the white areas are the areas knitted with the needles lowered.) This method makes the number of courses in the foot part on the first toe side (= the number of courses from the toe side end point of the heel gore line to the heel side end point of the toe pouch gore line) longer than the number of courses in the foot part on the fifth toe side (= the number of courses from the toe side end point of the heel gore line to the heel side end point of the toe pouch gore line) (i.e., when aligning the positions of the toe pouches, the number of courses of the wale corresponding to the toe pouch knitted later is longer by the number of courses in the full-circle knitting area knitted between the toe pouches.), and the above-mentioned relationship of side length can be realized. In addition, the length of the gore line may be adjusted, the tip may be a Y-shaped heel, or the number of stitches may be adjusted.

[0032] The side lengths L1 and L5 can be measured, for example, by placing the foot attachment 100 on a flat surface (laying dimension measurement method) or by applying a constant load in the length direction to the foot attachment 100 to stretch it (stretch dimension measurement method). Either measurement method is carried out in the following steps (1) to (4). In the stretch dimension measurement method, the tension applied to the foot part must be the same in the above steps (2) and (4). This tension is preferably 3.5 kg, since it is almost the same as the dimension when the attachment 100 is worn.

[0033] (1) Fold the foot portion 160 along a widthwise imaginary line passing through the midpoint between the toe side end point of the gore line on the outer side of the first toe and the toe side end point of the heel gore line. (2) Measure the stretch dimension from the midpoint specified in (1) above to the toe-side end point of the gore line on the outside of the first toe. This stretch dimension is the side length L1. (3) Fold the foot portion 160 along a widthwise imaginary line passing through the midpoint between the toe side end point of the gore line on the outer side of the fifth toe and the toe side end point of the heel gore line. (4) Measure the stretch dimension from the midpoint specified in (3) above to the toe-side end point of the gore line on the outer side of the fifth toe. This stretch dimension is the lateral length L5.

[0034] In addition, in the foot wearing device 100 with five-toe pouch, if there are multiple heel gore lines due to branching, etc., it is preferable to use the toe side end point of the longest main gore line in the heel part as the toe side end point of the heel gore line.

[0035] 1, the foot portion 160 is mainly composed of a basic component part MBP, a high extensibility part HEP, and a low extensibility part LEP. These parts will be described in detail below.

[0036] The basic constituent part MBP is a part that constitutes the majority of the foot part, and is formed taking into consideration properties other than stretchability, such as heat retention, breathability, and cushioning. It is preferable that this basic constituent part MBP is knitted with a knitted fabric. In addition, when the leg part and panty part are formed in the foot wearing device 100 with five-toed pouch, the leg part and panty part may be made to have the same structure as the basic constituent part MBP.

[0037] The high stretch region HEP ​​has a higher stretchability than the basic constituent region MBP. The high stretch region HEP ​​is preferably knitted with a highly elastic knitted fabric (for example, mesh knitting or purl knitting). The high stretch region HEP ​​is preferably in a fan or wedge shape with more courses on the inside than on the outside (see FIG. 1). This is because it is possible to increase the stretchability of the inside of the high stretch region HEP ​​and decrease the stretchability of the outside. In the embodiment of the present invention, the high stretch region HEP ​​is formed in an area that includes the same wale stitches as the region corresponding to the base of the first toe, but does not include the same wale stitches as the fifth toe pouch 150. It is preferable that the high extensibility region HEP ​​is provided at a position including the base of the first toe (big toe) in the course direction and at a position corresponding to the ball of the big toe in the wale direction (in terms of the relationship with the foot bones, a position corresponding to the proximal phalanx or metatarsal bone as shown in FIG. 3). It is also preferable that the high extensibility region HEP ​​extends from the back side region through the lateral surface region of the first toe side to the instep side region. In forming the high extensibility region HEP, not only the extensibility but also other characteristics (for example, heat retention, breathability, cushioning, etc.) may be taken into consideration.

[0038] The low stretch area LEP has lower stretchability than the basic component area MBP. That is, the low stretch area LEP has lower stretchability than the high stretch area HEP. The low stretch area LEP is preferably knitted with a low elasticity knit (for example, tuck knit or miss knit (floating knit)). In the embodiment of the present invention, the low stretch area LEP is formed in an area that includes the same wale stitches as the fifth toe pouch 150 but does not include the same wale stitches as the area corresponding to the base of the first toe. The low stretch area LEP is preferably provided at a position that includes the base of the fifth toe (little toe) in the course direction and at a position that corresponds to the little toe ball in the wale direction (in terms of the relationship with the foot bones, it is a position that corresponds to the proximal phalanx or metatarsal bone as shown in FIG. 3). It is also preferable that the low stretch region LEP extends from the back side region through the lateral surface region of the fifth toe side to the instep side region. In addition, when forming the low stretch region LEP, not only the stretchability but also other characteristics (for example, heat retention, breathability, cushioning, etc.) may be taken into consideration.

[0039] The first toe pouch 110 is a portion that covers the first toe, i.e., the big toe, and extends forward from the innermost end in the width direction of the foot part 160 when viewed from the bottom as shown in Fig. 1. The first toe pouch 110 is preferably knitted with a knitted fabric.

[0040] The second toe pouch 120 is a portion that covers the second toe, i.e., the index toe, and extends forward from a portion sandwiched between the base portion of the first toe pouch 110 and the base portion of the third toe pouch 130 of the foot part 160 in bottom view as shown in Fig. 1. The second toe pouch 120 is preferably knitted using a knitted fabric.

[0041] The third toe pouch 130 is a portion that covers the third toe, i.e., the middle toe, and extends forward from a portion sandwiched between the base portion of the second toe pouch 120 and the base portion of the fourth toe pouch 140 of the foot part 160 in bottom view as shown in Fig. 1. The third toe pouch 130 is preferably knitted using a knitted fabric.

[0042] The fourth toe pouch 140 is a portion that covers the fourth toe, i.e., the ring toe, and extends forward from a portion sandwiched between the base portion of the third toe pouch 130 and the base portion of the fifth toe pouch 150 of the foot part 160 in bottom view as shown in Fig. 1. The fourth toe pouch 140 is preferably knitted with a knitted fabric.

[0043] The fifth toe pouch 150 is a portion that covers the fifth toe, i.e., the little toe, and extends forward from the outermost end in the width direction of the foot part 160 when viewed from the bottom as shown in Fig. 1. The fifth toe pouch 150 is preferably knitted with a knitted fabric.

[0044] <Modification> (A) In the explanation of the embodiment above, a foot attachment device with five-toe pouch 100 has been described as an embodiment of the present invention, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this and may include, for example, an attachment device with a two-pronged toe pouch, an attachment device with a three-pronged toe pouch, an attachment device with a two-toe pouch, an attachment device with a three-toe pouch, or an attachment device with a four-toe pouch.

[0045] Examples of fitting devices with two toe pouches include a1) those having a toe pouch for covering only the first toe, and a toe pouch for covering the second, third, fourth and fifth toes together, a2) those having a toe pouch for covering the first and second toes together, and a toe pouch for covering the third, fourth and fifth toes together, a3) those having a toe pouch for covering the first, second and third toes together, and a toe pouch for covering the fourth and fifth toes together, and a4) those having a toe pouch for covering the first, second, third and fourth toes together, and a toe pouch for covering only the fifth toe.

[0046] Examples of the attachments with three toe pouches include b1) an attachment having a toe pouch for covering only the first toe, a toe pouch for covering only the second toe, and a toe pouch for covering the third, fourth, and fifth toes together, b2) an attachment having a toe pouch for covering only the first toe, a toe pouch for covering the second and third toes together, and a toe pouch for covering the fourth and fifth toes together, and b3) an attachment having a toe pouch for covering only the first toe, a toe pouch for covering the second, third, and fourth toes together, and a toe pouch for covering only the fifth toe. b4) those having a toe pouch for covering the first and second toes together, a toe pouch for covering only the third toe, and a toe pouch for covering the fourth and fifth toes together; b5) those having a toe pouch for covering the first and second toes together, a toe pouch for covering the third and fourth toes together, and a toe pouch for covering only the fifth toe; and b6) those having a toe pouch for covering the first, second and third toes together, a toe pouch for covering only the fourth toe, and a toe pouch for covering only the fifth toe.

[0047] Examples of the attachments with four toe pouches include c1) ones with a toe pouch for covering only the first toe, a toe pouch for covering only the second toe, a toe pouch for covering only the third toe, and a toe pouch for covering the fourth and fifth toes together, and c2) ones with a toe pouch for covering only the first toe, a toe pouch for covering only the second toe, a toe pouch for covering the third and fourth toes together, and a toe pouch for covering only the fifth toe. c3) those having a toe pouch for covering only the first toe, a toe pouch for covering the second and third toes together, a toe pouch for covering only the fourth toe, and a toe pouch for covering only the fifth toe; and c4) those having a toe pouch for covering the first and second toes together, a toe pouch for covering only the third toe, a toe pouch for covering only the fourth toe, and a toe pouch for covering only the fifth toe.

[0048] (B) The foot part 160 of the foot wearing device 100 with five-toed pouch according to the previous embodiment was composed of the basic component part MBP, the high stretch part HEP and the low stretch part LEP, but the foot part 160 may be composed of only the basic component part MBP and the high stretch part HEP, or may be composed of only the basic component part MBP and the low stretch part LEP. In the former case, the stretchability of the basic component part MBP is made lower than that of the high stretch part HEP, and in the latter case, the stretchability of the basic component part MBP is made higher than that of the low stretch part LEP.

[0049] (C) In the foot wearing device 100 with five-toed pouch according to the previous embodiment, the high stretch region HEP ​​and the low stretch region LEP are formed by changing the knitting method (by changing the type of knitted fabric). However, the high stretch region HEP ​​and the low stretch region LEP may also be formed by a) changing the yarn material, b) changing the number of yarns, c) adding a material other than the knitted fabric, or d) changing the processing method.

[0050] a) When forming the high elongation region HEP ​​and the low elongation region LEP by changing the yarn material, the yarns on the same course are switched using a circular knitting machine capable of intarsia knitting. That is, highly extensible filament twisted yarn (FTY), polyurethane yarn, rubber yarn, etc. are used as the yarn constituting the high elongation region HEP, and ordinary low elongation yarn is used as the yarn constituting the low elongation region LEP.

[0051] b) When forming the high stretch region HEP ​​and the low stretch region LEP by changing the number of threads, the number of threads in the low stretch region LEP is increased compared to the number of threads in the high stretch region HEP, thereby making the extensibility of the low stretch region LEP lower than that of the high stretch region HEP.

[0052] c) When the high elongation region HEP ​​and the low elongation region LEP are formed by adding a material other than the knitted fabric, resin, hard rubber, hard elastomer, etc. are applied to the low elongation region LEP, or a film or sheet is attached.

[0053] d) When the high elongation region HEP ​​and the low elongation region LEP are formed by changing the processing method, examples of the method include a method in which the low elongation region LEP is knitted with a thermoplastic resin yarn or a fused yarn, and then the low elongation region LEP is melted and solidified so as to establish a relationship with the other regions in terms of elasticity, and a method in which only the low elongation region LEP is knitted with a thermoplastic resin yarn or a fused yarn as an additional yarn, and then the low elongation region LEP is melted and solidified so as to establish a relationship with the other regions in terms of elasticity.

[0054] (D) The foot part 160 of the foot wearing device 100 with five-toe pouch according to the previous embodiment is composed of the basic component part MBP, the high stretch part HEP and the low stretch part LEP, but the high stretch part HEP may be replaced with a low elasticity part and the low stretch part LEP may be replaced with a high elasticity part. Here, the low elasticity part shows lower elasticity than the high elasticity part. In other words, the low elasticity part has a weaker restoring force than the high elasticity part. This example may be applied to the above modification (B).

[0055] <Measurement example> (1) We investigated the range of lengths that 80% of people would meet based on the measurement data of the length of each toe and the length from the base of the fourth toe to the base of the fifth toe when viewed from the underside of the foot. 104 people (60 men, 44 women) were recruited as measurement subjects. Then, the length of each toe and the length from the base of the fourth toe to the base of the fifth toe were measured for each subject using the following method.

[0056] 1. Have the person place their right foot lightly on the printer and have the printer take a footprint of the sole of their foot. 2. Measure the length of each toe and the length from the base of the fourth toe to the base of the fifth toe from the footprint.

[0057] As a result, the length ranges that 80% of people met were as follows. Male: 1st toe length 40~46mm, 2nd toe length 28~36mm, 3rd toe length 24~32mm, 4th toe length 20~26mm, 5th toe length 22~26mm, length from base of 4th toe to base of 5th toe 14~18mm

[0058] Female: 1st toe length 36~42mm, 2nd toe length 26~34mm, 3rd toe length 20~30mm, 4th toe length 18~26mm, 5th toe length 20~24mm, length from base of 4th toe to base of 5th toe 14~18mm

[0059] By setting the dimensions of each part of the foot wearing device with five-toed bag 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention based on the above measurement data, it is possible to achieve not only a proper fit to the shape of the foot, but also a comfortable fit that is difficult to slip off.

[0060] (2) When viewed from the bottom of the foot, the lateral length from the tip of the toe whose tip is located at the front to the heel, the lateral length from the base of the first toe to the heel, and the lateral length from the base of the fifth toe to the heel were measured. 48 subjects (31 Egyptian type, 17 Greek type) were recruited. Then, for each subject, the lateral length from the tip of the toe whose tip is located at the front to the heel, the lateral length from the base of the first toe to the heel, and the lateral length from the base of the fifth toe to the heel were measured using the following method. In the Egyptian type, the toe whose tip is located at the front is the first toe, and in the Greek type, the toe whose tip is located at the front is the second toe.

[0061] 1. Have the person place their right foot lightly on the printer and have the printer take a footprint of the sole of their foot. 2. From the footprint, measure the lateral length from the tip of the forward-most toe to the heel, the lateral length from the base of the first toe to the heel, and the lateral length from the base of the fifth toe to the heel.

[0062] As a result, the average lateral length from the tip of the toe with the tip positioned at the front to the heel, the lateral length from the base of the first toe to the heel, and the lateral length from the base of the fifth toe to the heel were as follows.

[0063] <Egyptian type> Side length from tip of first toe to heel: 252mm Side length from base of first toe to heel: 207mm Side length from the base of the fifth toe to the heel: 184mm

[0064] <Greek type> Side length from tip of second toe to heel: 251mm Side length from base of first toe to heel: 206mm Side length from the base of the fifth toe to the heel: 182 mm (3) Using the lateral length from the tip of the toe with the forward-most tip position obtained in (2) above to the heel, the dimension from the base of the first toe to the heel, and the lateral length from the base of the fifth toe to the heel, we investigated what percentage longer the lateral length from the base of the first toe to the heel was compared to the lateral length from the base of the fifth toe to the heel for the Egyptian and Greek types. It was found that for the Egyptian type, the average was 112.8%, or 12.8% longer, and for the Greek type, the average was 113.2%, or 13.2% longer.

[0065] From the above results, it became clear that the area of ​​the garment on the first toe side needed to have elasticity within the range of 110% to 120% compared to the area on the fifth toe side.

[0066] Incidentally, based on the above measurement examples and empirical rules in the art, for a person with a foot length of 24.0 cm to 26.0 cm, the lateral length (laying dimension) from the tip of the toe whose tip position is the foremost when the foot wearing device 100 with five-toe bag is laid flat to the heel is preferably 210 mm ± 20 mm, the lateral length L1 (laying dimension) from the base of the first toe to the heel is preferably 140 mm ± 20 mm, and the lateral length L5 (laying dimension) from the base of the fifth toe to the heel is preferably 135 mm ± 20 mm. In addition, for the same person, the side length (stretched dimension) from the tip of the toe whose tip position is the foremost to the heel when the five-toe-bag foot attachment 100 is stretched with a load of 3.5 kg is preferably 350 mm ± 20 mm, the side length L1 (stretched dimension) from the base of the first toe to the heel is preferably 210 mm ± 20 mm, and the side length L5 (stretched dimension) from the base of the fifth toe to the heel is preferably 200 mm ± 20 mm. That is, in terms of the laid dimension, L1 / L5 is preferably within the range of 1.03 (≒ 160 / 155) to 1.05 (≒ 120 mm / 115 mm). In terms of the stretched dimension, L1 / L5 is preferably within the range of 1.04 (≒ 230 mm / 220 mm) to 1.06 (≒ 190 mm / 180 mm).

[0067] In this case, the side length (laying dimension) of the high stretch area HEP in the flat state of the foot wearing device with five toe pouch 100 is preferably 30 mm ± 10 mm, and the side length (laying dimension) of the low stretch area LEP is preferably 15 mm ± 10 mm. In addition, for the same person, the side length (stretching dimension) of the high stretch area HEP in the stretched state when the foot wearing device with five toe pouch 100 is loaded with a load of 3.5 kg is preferably 60 mm ± 10 mm, and the side length (stretching dimension) of the low stretch area LEP is preferably 15 mm ± 10 mm. Note that the side length (stretching dimension) of the high stretch area HEP is the dimension when a load of 3.5 kg is loaded only on the high stretch area HEP, and the side length (stretching dimension) of the low stretch area LEP is the dimension when a load of 3.5 kg is loaded only on the low stretch area LEP. That is, in the laid-down dimension, the ratio of the side length of the high stretch region HEP ​​to the side length of the low stretch region LEP is preferably 1.6 (=40 mm / 25 mm) or more and 4 (=20 mm / 5 mm) or less. In addition, in the stretched dimension, the ratio of the side length of the high stretch region HEP ​​to the side length of the low stretch region LEP is preferably 2.8 (=70 mm / 25 mm) or more and 10 (=50 mm / 5 mm) or less. In addition, if the ratio of the side length of the high stretch region HEP ​​to the side length of the low stretch region LEP is reversed, the fifth toe side becomes more difficult to stretch, and the difficulty of slipping off can be further improved. However, there is a risk of a feeling of tightness in the fifth toe.

[0068] As described above, the ratio of the side length (laying dimension) of the high stretch region HEP ​​to the side length L1 (laying dimension) from the base of the first toe to the heel when the foot wearing device 100 with a five-toe pouch is laid flat is preferably 0.16 (≒20mm / 120mm) or more and 0.25 (=40mm / 160mm). Also, the ratio of the side length (stretching dimension) of the high stretch region HEP ​​to the side length L1 (stretching dimension) from the base of the first toe to the heel when the foot wearing device 100 with a five-toe pouch is stretched with a load of 3.5kg is preferably within the range of 0.26 (≒50mm / 190mm) or more and 0.31 (≒70mm / 230mm) or less.

[0069] As described above, the ratio of the side length (laying dimension) of the low stretch area LEP to the side length L5 (laying dimension) from the base of the fifth toe to the heel when the foot wearing device 100 with a five-toe pouch is laid flat is preferably within a range of 0.04 (≒5mm / 115mm) to 0.17 (≒25mm / 155mm). Also, the ratio of the side length (stretching dimension) of the low stretch area LEP to the side length L5 (stretching dimension) from the base of the fifth toe to the heel when the foot wearing device 100 with a five-toe pouch is laid flat is preferably within a range of 0.02 (≒5mm / 180mm) to 0.12 (≒25mm / 220mm).

[0070] In another design, for a person with a foot length of 24.0 cm to 26.0 cm, the lateral length (laying dimension) from the tip of the toe whose tip position is the foremost when the foot wearing device 100 with five-toe bag is laid flat to the heel is preferably 180 mm ± 20 mm, the lateral length L1 (laying dimension) from the base of the first toe to the heel is preferably 150 mm ± 20 mm, and the lateral length L5 (laying dimension) from the base of the fifth toe to the heel is preferably 120 mm ± 20 mm. In addition, for the same person, the side length (stretched dimension) from the tip of the toe whose tip position is the foremost to the heel when the five-toe-bag foot attachment 100 is stretched with a load of 3.5 kg is preferably 460 mm ± 20 mm, the side length L1 (stretched dimension) from the base of the first toe to the heel is preferably 400 mm ± 20 mm, and the side length L5 (stretched dimension) from the base of the fifth toe to the heel is preferably 320 mm ± 20 mm. That is, in terms of the laid-down dimension, L1 / L5 is preferably within the range of 1.21 (≒ 170 / 140) to 1.30 (≒ 130 mm / 100 mm). In terms of the stretched dimension, L1 / L5 is preferably within the range of 1.23 (≒ 420 mm / 340 mm) to 1.27 (≒ 380 mm / 300 mm).

[0071] In this case, the side length (laying dimension) of the high stretch area HEP in the flat state of the foot wearing device with five toe pouch 100 is preferably 30 mm ± 10 mm, and the side length (laying dimension) of the low stretch area LEP is preferably 20 mm ± 10 mm. In addition, for the same person, the side length (stretching dimension) of the high stretch area HEP in the stretched state when the foot wearing device with five toe pouch 100 is loaded with a load of 3.5 kg is preferably 70 mm ± 20 mm, and the side length (stretching dimension) of the low stretch area LEP is preferably 40 mm ± 20 mm. Note that the side length (stretching dimension) of the high stretch area HEP is the dimension when a load of 3.5 kg is loaded only on the high stretch area HEP, and the side length (stretching dimension) of the low stretch area LEP is the dimension when a load of 3.5 kg is loaded only on the low stretch area LEP. That is, in the laid-down dimension, the ratio of the side length of the high stretch region HEP ​​to the side length of the low stretch region LEP is preferably 1.3 (=40mm / 30mm) or more and 2.0 (=20mm / 10mm) or less. In addition, in the stretched dimension, the ratio of the side length of the high stretch region HEP ​​to the side length of the low stretch region LEP is preferably 1.5 (=90mm / 60mm) or more and 2.5 (=50mm / 20mm) or less. In addition, if the ratio of the side length of the high stretch region HEP ​​to the side length of the low stretch region LEP is reversed, the fifth toe side becomes more difficult to stretch, and the difficulty of slipping off can be further improved. However, there is a risk of a feeling of tightness in the fifth toe.

[0072] As described above, the ratio of the side length (laying dimension) of the high stretch region HEP ​​to the side length L1 (laying dimension) from the base of the first toe to the heel when the foot wearing device 100 with a five-toe pouch is laid flat is preferably 0.15 (≒20mm / 130mm) or more and 0.24 (=40mm / 170mm) or less. Also, the ratio of the side length (stretching dimension) of the high stretch region HEP ​​to the side length L1 (stretching dimension) from the base of the first toe to the heel when the foot wearing device 100 with a five-toe pouch is stretched with a load of 3.5kg is preferably within the range of 0.13 (≒50mm / 380mm) or more and 0.22 (≒90mm / 420mm) or less.

[0073] As described above, the ratio of the side length (laying dimension) of the low stretch area LEP to the side length L5 (laying dimension) from the base of the fifth toe to the heel when the foot wearing device 100 with a five-toe pouch is laid flat is preferably within a range of 0.10 (≒10mm / 100mm) to 0.22 (≒30mm / 140mm). Also, the ratio of the side length (stretching dimension) of the low stretch area LEP to the side length L5 (stretching dimension) from the base of the fifth toe to the heel when the foot wearing device 100 with a five-toe pouch is laid flat is preferably within a range of 0.06 (≒20mm / 300mm) to 0.18 (≒60mm / 340mm).

[0074] The above-mentioned ratio range can be applied to any size of the foot attachment 100 with five-toed pouch. [Explanation of symbols]
