Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the art of knitting, and particularly to non-slip socks.

Background Art

[0002] In the heel part of conventional socks, generally, the "straight heel", "Y heel", or "L heel" process is adopted, and a corresponding knitting structure is formed by a knitting method of scooping up and pushing in along the shape of "one", "Y", or "L".

[0003] Among them, for the knitting structure of the "straight heel", since the knitting length is greatly restricted by equipment conditions, it is difficult to produce the heel part in a desired shape. For the "Y heel", due to the influence of the knitting process, the angle of the branch part is basically limited to around 45°. Therefore, when it is desired to increase the size of the heel part according to the size of the foot, the angle of the knitting structure is limited, resulting in a loose shape of the sock and the sock falling off, and an effective anti-slip effect cannot be achieved. For the "L heel" process, it is necessary to improve the holdability of the heel part of the leg.

[0004] In Patent Document 1, socks for preventing comfortable slipping are disclosed. The sock opening and the body part of the sock are provided and manufactured in a trumpet shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom according to the calf, and the sock opening and the body part are knitted with elastic yarn. The lower end of the body part is exactly located at the upper end of the wearer's ankle. In addition, a Y-shaped knitting method is adopted for the heel part of the bottom of the sock. However, such a structure can only be applied to long socks and is inapplicable to short socks.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide a non-slip sock with superior holding power. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, the anti-slip sock provided in this application includes a sock body, a heel portion, and a toe portion, both of which are connected to the sock body, and a first knitting structure, a second knitting structure, and a third knitting structure extend to at least a portion of the sock body and the heel portion, one end of the first knitting structure and one end of the second knitting structure are connected to each other at an inflection point, the first knitting structure has a scoop knitting structure, and the second knitting structure has a scoop knitting structure The third knitting structure has a push-in knitting structure and a push-in knitting structure, and one end of the third knitting structure extends from the intersection of the scoop-up push-in knitting structure and the push-in knitting structure of the second knitting structure, forming a first angle between it and the second knitting structure, and the third knitting structure and the first knitting structure are located on either side of the second knitting structure, the first knitting structure extends toward the toe, and the second knitting structure extends toward the heel.

[0008] In the present invention, the anti-slip sock has a first knitting structure, which is a scoop-up knitting structure (a scoop-up knitting structure is a knitting structure in which the number of needles in each loop gradually decreases as the number of knitted loops formed by scooping up with a needle increases), and a second knitting structure, which includes a scoop-up push-in knitting structure, connected at an inflection point. As a result, the configuration of the first and second knitting structures resembles an L-shape, and by providing an L-shaped knitting method at the heel, the stretch when the sock is pulled can be made more uniform and greater, guaranteeing the sock's hold and anti-slip / anti-slip effects. When this knitting structure is adopted, the loop position of the seam allowance at the toe moves to the rear of the toes under the tensile action of the knitting structure, resulting in a more rational position and improving the comfort of the sock's hold on the sole of the foot. Furthermore, the scoop-up knitting structure on the first knitting structure (a scoop-up knitting structure in which the number of needles in each loop gradually decreases as the number of knitted loops formed by scooping up with a needle increases) can provide better tensile strength to the connection between the sock body and the heel portion of the sock. By adopting a push-in knitting structure in the direction extending toward the heel portion, the number of needles on the loops formed at the bottom of the sock can be increased without affecting the overall shape or hold of the sock, thereby improving comfort when worn. It can also be applied to various types of socks, such as long socks, short socks, and ankle socks.

[0009] Furthermore, by incorporating a third knitting structure, which is a push-in knitting structure, it becomes possible to include more loops in the heel area, forming an improved L-shaped heel. This increases the height of the heel opening knit, resulting in a higher heel and making the sock less likely to slip off after wearing. This achieves superior hold and anti-slip effects. While it is possible to achieve the goal of raising the heel by lengthening the scoop-up push-in knitting structure of the second knitting structure, doing so would make the entire heel excessively large, causing wrinkles on the sole of the foot and affecting comfort during wear.

[0010] To further enhance the cooperation between the second and third knitted structures, an anti-slip tape is added to the heel area, positioned between the third and second knitted structures. More loops, such as flat knits, can be incorporated between the third and second knitted structures, creating a net-sling-like effect between them. This provides more space for the anti-slip tape, and the combined action of these two elements greatly enhances the anti-slip effect at the heel.

[0011] The anti-slip tape may be provided close to the intersection of the scoop-up-push-weave structure and the push-weave structure of the second weave structure.

[0012] The scoop-up and push-in knit structure of the second knitting structure may be closer to the heel than the push-in knit structure.

[0013] The number of knitting loops in the first knitting structure may be less than the number of knitting loops in the second knitting structure. When socks are pulled when putting them on or taking them off, the second knitting structure, which extends from the sock body toward the heel, experiences a large amount of stress and deformation during the tensile process. On the other hand, the first knitting structure, whose extension direction is toward the toe, experiences less tensile stress because the angle between it and the overall tensile direction of the sock is small. By knitting more loops on the second knitting structure than on the first knitting structure, the balance between the deformation of the two knitting structures and the width that can withstand the force when the sock is subjected to stress can be improved, stabilizing the sock structure and making it less likely to sag.

[0014] Taking into account the deformation of the knitting structure and the optimal balance of the width that can withstand force, the number of knitting loops in the third knitting structure may be less than the number of knitting loops in the second knitting structure.

[0015] Taking into comprehensive consideration the deformation of the knitting structure and the optimal balance of the width that can withstand force, the number of knitting loops in the third knitting structure may be less than the number of knitting loops in the first knitting structure. Alternatively, the number of knitting loops in the third knitting structure may be more than the number of knitting loops in the first knitting structure.

[0016] The angle between the first and second knitting structures in their extending directions is 70° to 150°. The second knitting structure may include a scoop-up and push-in knitting structure to reinforce the connection, and the first knitting structure may include a scoop-up knitting structure to reduce the number of needles on the loops formed in the sock. Different knitting structures have different connection characteristics in the sock body. When the extending directions of the first and second knitting structures are set to around 90°, that is, when the two types of knitting structures are perpendicular to each other, the effects of the knitting structures are maximized without canceling each other out, and the improvement in the tensile properties of the sock bottom is most pronounced. Since socks are flexible knitted fabrics and it is difficult to completely fix their shape, a similar effect can be achieved in actual products by arranging the knitting structures at around 90°.

[0017] The scoop-up-and-push

[0018] The angle between the scoop-up-push-weave structure of the second weave structure and the third weave structure in the extension direction may be 20° to 110°.

[0019] The sock body has a sock bottom, and a fourth knit structure and a fifth knit structure extend to at least a portion of the sock body and the toe portion, and one end of the fourth knit structure and one end of the fifth knit structure are connected to each other at an inflection point, or a horizontal loop knit structure is further provided between the fourth knit structure and the fifth knit structure, the fourth knit structure extends toward the toe portion, and the fifth knit structure extends toward the sock bottom portion, the fourth knit structure may have a scoop-up-push knit structure, and the fifth knit structure may have a push-knit structure.

[0020] The toe part has a relatively regular shape, and both the pulling and force-receiving directions are relatively uniform. In the fourth knitting structure facing the sole of the sock, after directly adopting the push-in knitting to increase the number of stitches of the loop part formed on the sole of the foot, the third knitting structure facing the toe part uses the scooping push-in knitting structure to reinforce the connection between the knitting structures, and has little impact on the dimensions and structure of the top part of the sock. In the knitting structure of the sock bottom with an increased number of stitches, the hold is tighter and more uniform, improving the comfort when wearing the sock. Furthermore, between the fourth knitting structure and the fifth knitting structure, a horizontal knitting loop knitting structure is further provided, and there is an intermediate buffer zone that can eliminate the protrusions caused by the fourth knitting structure and the fifth knitting structure, enabling the toe part to be made flatter.

[0021] The included angle in the extending direction between the fourth knitting structure and the fifth knitting structure may be between 70° and 160°.

[0022] The number of knitting loops of the fourth knitting structure may be more than that of the fifth knitting structure.

Advantages of the Invention

[0023] In summary, by further providing the third knitting structure, which is a push-in knitting structure, in the improved L-shaped heel part anti-slip sock of the present application, it becomes possible to incorporate a larger number of loops in the heel part, thereby achieving an even better holding effect and anti-slip effect.

[Figure 9] Figure 6 shows conceptual diagrams of the knitting structures of the fourth and fifth knitting structures of the anti-slip sock. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0025] The following will describe specific embodiments of the present application in more detail with reference to the figures and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the scope of the present application.

[0026] (Example 1) In Figures 1 and 2, 0 indicates that no loop is formed, and 1 indicates that a loop is formed. The push-in knitting structure is a knitting structure in which the number of needles in each loop gradually increases as the number of knitted loops increases, while the scoop-up knitting structure is a knitting structure in which the number of needles in each loop gradually decreases as the number of knitted loops increases by scooping up with the needles. The scoop-up push-in knitting structure is a structure in which the scoop-up knitting structure is formed first, followed by the push-in knitting structure. In Figures 8 and 9, since there are too many needles on the loops to draw, diagrams are used to show the pattern of change in the number of needles on the loops and their correspondence with the knitting structure on the sock.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1, in one selectable embodiment, the actual process of pushing in is such that, as the number of loops increases, one stitch is picked up on one side and two stitches are pushed in on the other side. Therefore, overall, -1 + 2 = 1 stitch, i.e., there is one more push-in stitch. As shown in Figure 2, for picking up, as the number of loops increases, one stitch is picked up on one side. However, this application does not limit the specific knitting method for pushing in or picking up, and in other embodiments, the pushing-in knitting structure and the picking-up knitting structure can be realized by different knitting methods. In particular, there is no limit to the number of stitches for pushing in or picking up in each loop, and it is sufficient that the pushing-in knitting structure is ultimately realized as a knitting structure in which the number of stitches in each loop gradually increases as the number of knitted loops increases, and the picking-up knitting structure is ultimately realized as a knitting structure in which the number of stitches in each loop gradually decreases as the number of knitted loops increases by picking up with the stitches.

[0028] Refer to Figures 3 to 4. The anti-slip sock 1 provided in this application includes a sock body 13, a heel portion 12, and a toe portion 11, the toe portion and heel portion both being connected to the sock body, and the first knitted structure 21, the second knitted structure 22, and the third knitted structure 23 extending to at least a portion of the sock body and heel portion. In other words, the first knitted structure, the second knitted structure, and the third knitted structure may extend only to the heel portion, or the first knitted structure, the second knitted structure, and the third knitted structure may extend only to the sock body, or the first knitted structure, the second knitted structure, and the third knitted structure may extend to both the sock body and the heel portion.

[0029] One end of the first knitted structure and one end of the second knitted structure are connected at an inflection point. The first knitted structure has a scoop knit structure, the second knitted structure has a scoop push knit structure 222 and a push knit structure 221, and the third knitted structure has a push knit structure. One end of the third knitted structure extends from the intersection of the scoop push knit structure and the push knit structure of the second knitted structure, forming a first angle β between it and the second knitted structure. The third knitted structure and the first knitted structure are located on either side of the second knitted structure, the first knitted structure extends toward the toe, and the second knitted structure extends toward the heel.

[0030] Refer to the conceptual diagrams of the knitting structures in Figures 4 and 8. In Figure 4, the scoop-up push-in knitting structure is shown with thick black lines, the push-in knitting structure is shown with dashed lines, and the scoop-up knitting structure is shown with thin solid lines. In Figure 8, the dark gray areas represent the "1" working needles, and the light gray areas represent the "0" non-working needles. However, the number of needles is not absolute and can change according to the needs of the process, and this is merely a conceptual diagram of one such number of needles. In Figure 8, the horizontal dashed lines represent the boundary between the push-in knitting structure 221 and the scoop-up push-in knitting structure 222, and the vertical dashed lines represent the correspondence between the scoop-up knitting section 2221 and the push-in knitting section 2222.

[0031] The height of the knitted structure shown in Figures 8 and 9 indicates the number of knitted loops.

[0032] During the actual knitting process, the first, second, and third knitting structures can be completed continuously without interruption, and the knitting order adopted is as follows: third knitting structure (push-in knitting structure) → scoop-up push-in knitting structure of the second knitting structure (scoop-up knitting portion and push-in knitting portion) → push-in knitting structure of the second knitting structure → first knitting structure (scoop-up knitting structure). For the knitting order, refer to the order indicated by the dashed arrows in Figure 4. Of these, the scoop-up push-in knitting structure of the second knitting structure needs to be knitted twice by going back and forth, thereby forming the scoop-up push-in knitting structure. Following the third knitting structure is the scoop-up knit 2221 of the scoop-up push-in knitting structure 222 of the second knitting structure, then proceeding to the push-in knit 2222 of the scoop-up push-in knitting structure of the second knitting structure, and then proceeding to the push-in knitting structure 221 of the second knitting structure, and finally completing the knitting.

[0033] In the present invention, the anti-slip sock has a first knitting structure, which is a scoop-up knitting structure (a scoop-up knitting structure is a knitting structure in which the number of needles in each loop gradually decreases as the number of knitted loops formed by scooping up with a needle increases), and a second knitting structure, which includes a scoop-up push-in knitting structure, connected at an inflection point. As a result, the configuration of the first and second knitting structures resembles an L-shape, and by providing an L-shaped knitting method at the heel, the stretch when the sock is pulled can be made more uniform and greater, guaranteeing the sock's hold and anti-slip / anti-slip effects. When this knitting structure is adopted, the loop position of the seam allowance at the toe moves to the back of the toes under the tensile action of the knitting structure, resulting in a more rational position and improving the comfort of the sock's hold on the sole of the foot. Furthermore, the scoop-up knitting structure on the first knitting structure (a scoop-up knitting structure in which the number of needles in each loop gradually decreases as the number of knitted loops formed by scooping up with a needle increases) can provide even better tensile strength to the connection between the sock body and the heel portion of the sock. By adopting a push-in knitting structure in the direction extending toward the heel portion, the number of needles on the loops formed at the bottom of the sock can be increased without affecting the overall shape or hold of the sock, thereby improving comfort when worn.

[0034] Furthermore, by incorporating a third knitting structure, which is a push-in knitting structure, it becomes possible to include more loops in the heel area, forming an improved L-shaped heel. This increases the height of the heel opening knit, resulting in a higher heel and making the sock less likely to slip off after wearing, thereby achieving better hold and anti-slip effects. While it is possible to achieve the goal of raising the heel by lengthening the scoop-up push-in knitting structure of the second knitting structure, doing so would make the entire heel excessively large, causing wrinkles on the sole of the foot and affecting comfort during wear.

[0035] (Example 2) Refer to Figure 5. To further enhance the cooperation between the second and third knitting structures, anti-slip tape is applied to the heel. 3 A slip-prevention tape can also be provided, and the slip-prevention tape is placed between the third and second knitted structures in the longitudinal direction of the sock. Since more loops, such as flat knits, can be inserted between the third and second knitted structures, it creates a net-sling-like effect between the second and third knitted structures, giving more space for the slip-prevention tape to be installed. The cooperation of these two greatly enhances the slip-prevention effect at the heel. For the slip-prevention tape, commercially available slip-prevention tapes such as PVC, PE, polyolefins, and SEBS can be used.

[0036] To further improve the anti-slip effect, the space near the intersection of the scoop-up-push-weave structure and the push-weave structure of the second weave structure is made larger, and the anti-slip tape is placed closer to the intersection.

[0037] In this embodiment, the scoop-up-push knit structure of the second knitting structure is closer to the heel than the push-knit structure.

[0038] In this embodiment, the number of knitted loops in the first knitted structure is less than the number of knitted loops in the second knitted structure. When the sock is pulled when putting it on or taking it off, the second knitted structure, which extends from the sock body toward the heel, experiences a large amount of stress and deformation during the tensile process. On the other hand, the first knitted structure's extension direction is toward the toe, and the angle between it and the overall tensile direction of the sock is small, so it experiences less tensile stress. By knitting more loops on the second knitted structure than the first knitted structure, the balance between the deformation of the two knitted structures and the width that can withstand the force when the sock is subjected to stress can be improved, stabilizing the sock structure and making it less prone to sagging.

[0039] In this embodiment, taking into comprehensive consideration the deformation of the knitted structure and the optimal balance of the width that can withstand force, the number of knitted loops in the third knitted structure is less than the number of knitted loops in the second knitted structure.

[0040] In this embodiment, taking into comprehensive consideration the deformation of the knitted structure and the optimal balance of the width that can withstand force, the number of knitted loops in the third knitted structure is less than the number of knitted loops in the first knitted structure.

[0041] In this embodiment, the angle α between the first knitting structure and the second knitting structure in the direction of extension is 90°, but in other embodiments, it may be 70°, 80°, 100°, 110°, 120°, 130°, 140°, 150°, etc. Among these, the second knitting structure includes a scoop-up push-in knitting structure to reinforce the connection, and the first knitting structure includes a scoop-up knitting structure to reduce the number of needles on the loops formed in the sock. Different knitting structures have different connection characteristics in the sock body. When the direction of extension between the first knitting structure and the second knitting structure is set to around 90°, that is, when the two types of knitting structures are perpendicular to each other, the effects of the knitting structures are maximized without canceling each other out, and the improvement in the tensile properties of the sock bottom is most significant. Since socks are flexible knitted fabrics and it is difficult to completely fix their shape, similar effects can be achieved in actual products by arranging the knitting structures at around 90°.

[0042] In this embodiment, the scoop-up-and-push-and-push knit structure and the push-and-push knit structure of the second knitting structure are arranged in a straight line, or an obtuse angle γ is formed between the direction of extension of the scoop-up-and-push-and-push knit structure and the push-and-push knit structure of the second knitting structure.

[0043] In this embodiment, the angle between the scoop-up-push-weave structure of the second weave structure and the third weave structure in the extension direction is 80°, but in other embodiments, it may be 20°, 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 89°, 100°, 110°, etc.

[0044] (Example 3) In another embodiment, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, in addition to having the first, second, and third knitting structures in Figure 3 described above, the sock body has a sock bottom, and the fourth knitting structure 41 and fifth knitting structure 42 extend to at least a portion of the sock body and toe portion. That is, the fourth and fifth knitting structures may extend only to the toe portion, or they may extend only on the sock body, or they may extend to both the sock body and the toe portion. A horizontal loop knitting structure is further provided between the fourth and fifth knitting structures, the fourth knitting structure extends toward the toe portion, the fifth knitting structure extends toward the sock bottom, the fourth knitting structure has a scoop-up-push knitting structure, and the fifth knitting structure has a push-in knitting structure. However, in other embodiments, one end of the fourth braided structure and one end of the fifth braided structure are connected to each other at the inflection point.

[0045] The toe area has a relatively regular shape, and the direction of tension and force is relatively uniform. In the fourth knitting structure facing the sock bottom, the push-in knit is used as is, increasing the number of needles in the loop section formed on the sole of the foot. The third knitting structure facing the toe area reinforces the connection between the knitting structures with a scoop-up push-in knitting structure, and has little effect on the dimensions and structure of the instep of the sock. The knitting structure at the sock bottom with an increased number of needles provides a tighter and more even hold, improving comfort when wearing the sock. Furthermore, a horizontal loop knitting structure is provided between the fourth and fifth knitting structures, creating an intermediate buffer zone that eliminates the protrusions caused by the fourth and fifth knitting structures, allowing the toe area to be made flatter.

[0046] Refer to the conceptual diagrams of knitting structures in Figures 7 and 9. In Figure 7, the scoop-up-push knitting structure is shown with thick black lines, and the push-in knitting structure is shown with thick dashed lines. In Figure 9, the dark gray areas represent "1" working needles, and the light gray areas represent "0" non-working needles. However, the number of needles is not absolute and can change according to the needs of the process, and this is merely a conceptual diagram of one such number of needles.

[0047] In the actual knitting process, the fourth and fifth knitting structures can be completed continuously without interruption, and the knitting sequence adopted is as follows: fifth knitting structure (push-in knitting structure) → horizontal knitting loop → scoop-up knitting section 411 of the scoop-up push-in knitting structure of the fourth knitting structure → push-in knitting section 412 of the scoop-up push-in knitting structure of the fourth knitting structure. For the knitting order, refer to the sequence indicated by the dashed arrows in Figure 7. Of these, the scoop-up push-in knitting structure of the fourth knitting structure needs to be knitted twice by going back and forth, thereby forming the scoop-up push-in knitting structure. Following this is the horizontal knitting loop of the fifth knitting structure, immediately followed by the scoop-up knitting section of the scoop-up push-in knitting structure of the fourth knitting structure, and then proceeding to the push-in knitting section of the scoop-up push-in knitting structure of the fourth knitting structure, and finally completing the knitting.

[0048] In this embodiment, the extension line is shown by a thin dashed line as in Figure 7, and the angle η between the fourth braided structure and the fifth braided structure in the extension direction is 120°. In other embodiments, angles such as 70°, 80°, 90°, 100°, 110°, 130°, 140°, 150°, 160° may also be used.

[0049] In this embodiment, the number of knitted loops in the fourth knitting structure is greater than the number of knitted loops in the fifth knitting structure.

[0050] In this application, the anti-slip socks shown in Figures 3, 5, and 6 are used as conceptual diagrams, but this application does not limit the specific shape or type of socks, and includes all short socks, ankle socks, long socks, etc. The heel portion, toe portion, and sole portion of the sock correspond to the wearer's heel, toes, and sole of the foot, respectively, and the remaining part is the sock body.

They do not indicate or suggest that the applicable device or component is located in a specific direction, or is constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as limitations to the application.
