Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a separable fencing stocking, and more specifically, to a separable fencing stocking in which the sock portion that wraps the wearer's foot and the arm portion that wraps the calf are separated to allow for separate wearing, thereby enabling the sock, which has a relatively high wear rate, to be replaced with a new sock, and allowing the arm portion, which may lose elasticity due to frequent washing, to be separated during washing to maintain the elasticity and function of the arm portion alone for a long time. Background Technology

[0003] Generally, fencing requires various equipment and clothing. In particular, fencing stockings must be worn to protect the ankles and calves. Fencing stockings are an important item that helps prevent ankle and arch injuries by improving performance and supporting the feet.

[0004] Meanwhile, fencing requires continuous forward and backward movement, and to perform the 'fente' technique, a thrusting attack in fencing, one must generate explosive power and speed by extending the front foot as far as possible toward the opponent using the principle of ground reaction force from the sole of the foot.

[0005] However, if you frequently perform these attacks, holes often form in the toe area of ​​the socks, forcing you to throw away the fencing stockings. Additionally, the parts of the fencing stockings that compress the instep and ankle are generally weak, and after washing, their elasticity decreases and the ribbing (pleating) area gets damaged, which lowers the effectiveness of performance enhancement and injury prevention. Furthermore, as wear progresses quickly, holes frequently form in the toe area of ​​the socks.

[0006] Furthermore, fencing stockings must fundamentally adhere to strict standard specifications, and since most must be purchased from overseas, they are expensive and there are also issues such as long purchasing times due to the nature of international buying.

[0007] In addition, fencing stockings are difficult to recycle and difficult to repair damaged parts for reuse, so they must be discarded immediately when a problem arises, which also causes environmental pollution. Prior art literature

[0035] In this specification, singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly specifies them as singular. Additionally, plural expressions include singular expressions unless the context clearly specifies them as plural. Throughout the specification, when a part is described as including a certain component, this means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components.

[0037] FIG. 1 is a drawing showing the overall configuration of a separable fencing stocking (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] Looking at FIG. 1, a separable fencing stocking (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention may largely include a sock (110) and a calf sleeve (120).

[0039] The socks (110) can be worn on the feet of a user (wherein the user refers to a fencing athlete or a trainee training in fencing, etc.) and have a structure separate from the calf sleeves (120) described later. These socks (110) take the form of fencing stockings by partially overlapping with the calf sleeves (120). A more detailed examination of this is as follows.

[0040] Figure 2 is a drawing showing the socks (110) illustrated in Figure 1 in more detail.

[0041] Referring to FIG. 2, the sock (110) can be formed by sewing together multiple divided regions. Here, the multiple divided regions may include a forefoot region (111), a body region (112), a heel region (113), and an outer ankle banding region (114).

[0042] The forefoot area (111) is formed in a shape that can wrap around and cover the user's toes (forefoot), and can be woven from yarn formed by twisting at least 4 strands of yarn. More specifically, the forefoot area (111) is woven to have thickness using eco-friendly 4-strand twist yarn, so that even if the user's toenail frequently touches the inner surface of the forefoot area (111) when using, for example, the 'fence' technique, a thrusting attack in fencing, it will not easily wear out or get a hole, and can be made to be well-ventilated.

[0044] Organic cotton refers to cotton grown without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and yarn made from organic cotton has the advantage of not contaminating the soil when discarded and leaving no chemicals harmful to the human body.

[0045] Linen is a natural fiber made from flax plants; it requires minimal water and chemicals for cultivation and offers the advantages of being highly durable and biodegradable, meaning it does not pollute the soil when discarded.

[0046] Hemp is a natural fiber made from the fibers of metabolic plants, and it has the advantage of requiring almost no water or pesticides during cultivation and having excellent durability.

[0047] Tencel and Lyocell are cellulose fibers obtained from eucalyptus tree branches, which can be produced using eco-friendly solvents and have the advantages of being soft, breathable, and highly biodegradable.

[0048] Bamboo fiber is a fiber obtained from bamboo that is soft and breathable, and has the advantage of requiring little water or pesticides during cultivation.

[0049] Recycled polyester is a fiber made by recycling discarded PET bottles or used polyester clothing; it allows for the recycling of existing waste and possesses the same durability and functionality as conventional polyester.

[0050] Piñatex is an alternative leather material made from fibers extracted from pineapple leaves; by utilizing agricultural waste, it can reduce the environmental burden and provide a texture similar to leather.

[0051] Accordingly, the forefoot area (111) can be woven into a strong yarn formed by twisting at least 4 strands of yarn.

[0052] The body area (112) can be sewn together with the forefoot area (110) and can cover the user's instep and sole.

[0053] The heel area (113) can be sewn to the rear end of the body area (112) to cover the user's heel (back toe). This heel area (113) can be woven into a strong yarn formed by twisting at least 4 strands of yarn, just like the forefoot area (111).

[0054] In particular, in one embodiment, a separate shock-absorbing member (e.g., silicone, rubber, high-elasticity sponge, etc.) may be provided or coated on the outer or inner side of the heel area (113) to mitigate heel impact when the user steps on the ground. Accordingly, even if the user engages in strenuous exercise, the impact applied to the heel is mitigated or offset by the shock-absorbing member provided in the heel area (113), so the user can feel less fatigue.

[0055] Additionally, in one embodiment, the forefoot region (111), body region (112), and heel region (113) may be formed with a relatively thick thickness.

[0056] The outer ankle banding area (114) is sewn to the upper side of the body area (112) to cover and compress the user's ankle, thereby preventing injuries such as shaking, twisting, or folding of the ankle during strenuous exercise. More specifically, the outer ankle banding area (114) has a thickness sufficient to fully wrap around and cover the user's ankle, particularly the ankle bone, and is banded using a one-to-one method of front stitch and back stitch, so that it can be manufactured with very high elasticity and compression.

[0057] In particular, the outer ankle banding area (114) can cover a portion of the lower part of the calf arm (120) when the calf arm (120) described later is worn, thereby providing double compression to the user's ankle and supporting the user's ankle more firmly.

[0058] Additionally, in one embodiment, an anti-slip means may be provided on the inner surface of the outer ankle banding area (114) to prevent slipping down or coming off from the calf sleeve (120) while covering the lower part of the calf sleeve (120) described later. For example, an anti-slip means made of silicone or rubber material may be provided on the inner surface of the outer ankle banding area (114). Here, the anti-slip means may be a silicone pad or rubber pad having a large surface area covering the entire inner surface of the outer ankle banding area (114), or may form a pattern at regular intervals on the inner surface of the outer ankle banding area (114).

[0059] In addition, in one embodiment, a handle area (115) that protrudes upward and can be grasped by a user may be disposed at the upper part of the outer ankle banding area (110), particularly at the upper position of the Achilles tendon.

[0060] The handle area (115) can be grasped by the user when the socks (110) are worn or removed together with the calf sleeves (120) described later, thereby guiding the user to easily remove or wear the socks (110).

[0061] Additionally, in one embodiment, this handle area (115) may be formed in a shape that can be clamped by a user, or in a shape that can be secured by a user's finger. In this case, the user may lift by gripping the handle area (115), or remove the sock (110) by lifting or lowering the handle area (115) while holding it with a finger.

[0062] Additionally, in one embodiment, an anti-slip means (not shown) may be provided on the lower surface of each of the forefoot area (111), body area (112), and heel area (113) to prevent the sock (110) from easily moving or slipping inside the athletic shoe (or fencing shoe) when the user wears the athletic shoe (or fencing shoe).

[0064] The calf sleeve (120) may be worn on the user's calf before the previously described socks (110), or after the socks (110) are worn, and may wrap around and compress the user's calf. This is described as follows.

[0065] FIG. 3 is a drawing showing the calf sleeve (120) in more detail, FIG. 4 is a drawing showing the anti-slip means provided on the inner side of the inner ankle banding area (121), FIG. 5 is a drawing showing the body area (122) in more detail, and FIG. 6 is a drawing showing the anti-slip means provided on the inner side of the knee banding area (123).

[0066] Referring to FIGS. 3 to 6, the calf sleeve (120) may largely include an inner ankle banding area (121), a body area (122), and a knee banding area (123).

[0067] The inner ankle banding area (121) is worn on the user's calf and overlaps with the outer ankle banding area (114) described earlier, thereby providing double compression to the user's ankle. More specifically, the inner ankle banding area (121), like the outer ankle banding area (114) described earlier, covers and compresses the user's ankle, thereby preventing injuries such as shaking, twisting, or bending of the ankle during strenuous exercise.

[0068] These inner ankle banding areas (121) have a thickness sufficient to fully wrap around and cover the user's ankle, especially the ankle bone, and are banded in a one-to-one manner with one stitch in the front and one stitch in the back, so that they can be made with very high elasticity and compression.

[0069] Additionally, the structure has an outer ankle banding area (114) that overlaps the outer side of the inner ankle banding area (121). At this time, an anti-slip means may be coated on the outer side of the inner ankle banding area (121) so that the outer ankle banding area (114) does not slide or slide down from the inner ankle banding area (121). Here, the anti-slip means may be made of silicone or rubber material, and a silicone pad or rubber pad having a large surface area that covers the entire outer surface of the inner ankle banding area (121) may be applied, or a pattern at regular intervals may be formed on the outer surface of the inner ankle banding area (121).

[0070] The body area (122) can cover the user's calf while the calf sleeve (120) is worn. At this time, the body area (122) may not be woven as a single piece, but may be configured to have different weaves and compositions depending on the calf area.

[0071] More specifically, the body area (122) may include a shin cover portion (122-1), an Achilles tendon cover portion (122-2), a rear calf cover portion (122-3), and a central calf cover portion (122-4).

[0072] The shin cover portion (122-1) covers the front of the body area (122), that is, the user's shin bone area, and is formed in a relatively thick and reinforced rigid form. At this time, the yarn forming the shin cover portion (122-1) can be woven by twisting at least 4 strands of yarn, just like the toe area (111) of the sock (110) described earlier, so that the shin can be effectively protected through its thick thickness.

[0073] The Achilles tendon cover portion (122-2) covers the user's Achilles tendon while the body area (122) is worn on the user's calf, and can be reinforced and woven to have a thickness corresponding to that of the shin cover portion (122-1). Through this, the Achilles tendon cover portion (122-2) strongly compresses the user's Achilles tendon, thereby protecting the user's ankle even during vigorous movement.

[0074] The rear calf cover portion (122-3) is positioned above the Achilles tendon cover portion (122-2) and has a thickness corresponding to that of the Achilles tendon cover portion (122-2), but has a structure in which the thickness becomes relatively thinner as it goes upward, thereby allowing for a structure that gradually reduces the pressure applied to the calf. This structure of the rear calf cover portion (122-3) is intended to prevent the upper calf muscles from being excessively compressed by the rear calf cover portion (122-3) when the user bends their knee or sits.

[0075] The central calf cover (122-4) is located between the shin cover (122-1), the Achilles tendon cover (122-2), and the rear calf cover (122-3), and has a structure that allows for good ventilation by being woven with a relatively thinner thickness compared to the shin cover (122-1). In particular, the yarn used for the central calf cover (122-4) may be a relatively fine yarn.

[0076] The knee banding area (123) is sewn to the upper side of the body area (122) and inserted into the inner side of the fencing uniform bottom to cover the user's knee. More specifically, the knee banding area (123) is banded using a three-to-one method of three front stitches and one back stitch, and has a thickness sufficient to fully wrap and cover the user's knee, and can be manufactured with very high elasticity and compression. Through this, the user can prevent injury by allowing the knee and cartilage to withstand the load transmitted when the user assumes an attacking stance.

[0077] In addition, in one embodiment, the inner surface of the knee banding area (123) is coated with an anti-slip means so that the inner surface does not slide or slide down from the user's thigh and can cover the user's knee by pressing against it.

[0078] Additionally, although not shown in the drawing, in one embodiment, a zipper (not shown) may be provided longitudinally on the rear side of the calf sleeve (120). The zipper serves as a means of fastening (or securing) the calf sleeve (120) to make it easier for the user to wear the sleeve while wearing fencing shoes. The user first wears the socks (110) and then wears the fencing shoes. In this state, the user opens the zipper of the calf sleeve (120), positions it on the calf, and then closes the zipper to wear the calf sleeve (120).

[0079] In this state, the outer ankle banding area (114) of the sock (110) is pulled out and the inner ankle banding area (121) of the calf sleeve (120) is covered, thereby completing the wearing of the detachable fencing stocking.

[0080] Additionally, although not shown in the drawing, in one embodiment, an air cushion (not shown) that inflates by sucking air through manual operation by a user may be placed in the ball of the foot or heel of the sock (110), and a manual air pump (not shown) that injects air into the air cushion through manual operation by a user may be placed on one side of the outer ankle banding area (114) of the sock (110).

[0081] For example, if a user wears fencing shoes while wearing socks (110) but the size of the fencing shoes is somewhat large or loose, the user may operate a manual air pump to inflate the air cushion placed inside the socks (110), thereby creating a suitable pressure between the user's foot and the fencing shoes.

[0082] In addition, in one embodiment, the air cushion and manual air pump may be configured to be detachable and replaceable from the sock (110), so that if the sock (110) is worn out, worn out, or has a hole in it and is replaced with a new sock (110), the air cushion and manual air pump may be reattached to the new sock (110) for use.

[0084] Although the embodiments described above utilize aspects of the subject matter currently devised in one or more standalone computer systems, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be implemented in conjunction with any computing environment, such as a network or a distributed computing environment. Furthermore, aspects of the subject matter in the present invention may be implemented in multiple processing chips or devices, and storage may be similarly affected across multiple devices. Such devices may include PCs, network servers, and portable devices.

[0085] Although the present invention has been described in relation to some embodiments, various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as understood by a person skilled in the art to which the invention pertains. Furthermore, such modifications and changes should be considered to fall within the scope of the claims appended to this specification. Explanation of the symbols
