Sock with improved toe region

PCT designated stageWO2026013484A1Weft knittingPanty-hoseFoot regionFourth toe
In a toe region (4) of a sock, said region being knitted as a circular knit directly adjoining a foot region (3) on one side and leading in a stitch direction (S) as far as a sock seam (5), improved adaptation to the anatomy of a foot and unhindered movement of the foot are to be made possible. This is achieved in that the toe region (4) has a first gusset portion (41) and a second gusset portion (41') and, directly adjacent thereto in the stitch direction (S), a third gusset portion (42) and a fourth gusset portion (42') knitted circumferentially in different knitting directions (K), wherein four toe gusset lines (g1, g2, g3, g4), a big toe gusset line (g5) and a toe portion gusset line (g6) are provided, at which the circular knitted fabric is closed, as a result of which a stepped shaping along the first gusset portion (41) to the fourth gusset portion (42') is achieved, wherein the tubular knitted fabric is completely closed by the sock seam (5) after the gusset lines (g1 to g6) have been knitted in.

A coupled linkage posture-changing anti-sinking bionic foot and a coupled linkage walking wheel

ActiveCN116534155BVehiclesFourth toeTarsometatarsal bone
The present invention provides a coupled linkage posture-changing anti-sinking bionic foot and a coupled linkage walking wheel, comprising a bionic foot unit; the bionic foot unit comprises a simulated tarsometatarsal unit, a simulated tarsometatarsal tendon unit and a simulated toe unit; the simulated tarsometatarsal unit comprises a vertical rod and an elastic component; the simulated toe unit comprises a second toe, a third toe, a fourth toe, a left web and a right web; the simulated tarsometatarsal tendon unit and the elastic component are both sleeved on the vertical rod, the lower end of the vertical rod is connected to the base of the third toe; the elastic component is located between the simulated tarsometatarsal tendon unit and the base of the third toe; the simulated tarsometatarsal tendon unit can rotate and move up and down along the vertical rod, and the up and down movement of the simulated tarsometatarsal tendon unit drives the second toe and the fourth toe to open and close simultaneously. The present invention uses the mallard foot as a bionic prototype and develops a design based on the opening and closing method of the mallard's toe web and the coupling linkage mechanism of the tarsometatarsal bones, tarsometatarsal tendons, and metatarsophalangeal joints to improve the maneuverability of the mobile mechanism on soft surfaces such as mudflats.

Anti-slip golf shoes

PCT designated stageWO2026049574A3SolesGround contactFourth toe
The present invention relates to anti-slip golf shoes. A side support part is formed on the outer surface of an outsole ranging from the end of the little toe bone of the pivot foot (the left foot in the case of a right-handed player) to the heel so as to gently protrude outwards, thereby expanding the ground contact surface of the outer surface of the pivot foot. The outsole comprises: a first support surface which supports the lower surface of toes ranging from the fourth toe to the little toe; a second support surface which is adjacent to the first support surface and supports the lower surface of the toe portion of the big toe; a third support surface which is adjacent to the second support surface and supports the arch portion inside the sole; a fourth support surface which is adjacent to the third support surface and supports parts between the arch portion of the sole and the heel; a fifth support surface which is adjacent to the fourth support surface and supports the heel of the sole; and a sixth support surface which is formed between the fifth support surface and the first support surface and supports the outer side surface of the pivot foot.

Footwear

We provide a foot attachment that, simply by being worn on the feet, helps maintain core flexibility and stability, contributing to core training. [Solution] The foot attachment 1 of the present invention is provided with a projection 6 that protrudes inward in the area from the big toe 10 to the little toe 14 on the toe side of the instep. The projection 6 is knitted in the part that comes into contact with the second joint 10a of the big toe 10, the second toe 11, the third toe 12, the fourth toe 13, and the third joints 11a, 12a, 13a, and 14a of the little toe 14, and protrudes toward the second joint 10a of the big toe 10, the second toe 11, the third toe 12, the fourth toe 13, and the third joints 11a, 12a, 13a, and 14a of the little toe 14.

Footwear

PCT designated stageWO2025182382A1FootwearPhysical medicine and rehabilitationAdductor hallucis
A footwear comprises a foot base 10 having: a thin heel part 12a in which the thickness of a portion facing the heel of a user is reduced; a fifth toe-side thin part 12b, 11f in which the thickness of a portion facing the fifth toe of the user is reduced; and a placement part 11b which is formed in a portion excluding the thin heel part 12a and the fifth toe-side thin part 12b, 11f and on which the foot sole of the user is placed. The fifth toe-side thin part 12b, 11f comprises a fifth toe-side flat portion 12b and a downwardly inclined portion 11f. The fifth toe-side flat portion 12b is a portion which, in a state in which the user wears the footwear, faces at least the fourth toe, the fifth toe, the base regions thereof, and a region of the transverse head adductor hallucis muscle, which is located closer to the heel as compared to said base regions, of the foot of the user. The downwardly inclined portion 11f is a portion which, in a state in which the user wears the footwear, faces the fifth toe abductor muscle of the foot sole of the user, and is downwardly inclined from the upper surface of the placement part 11b toward the upper surface of the fifth toe-side flat portion 12b. The upper surface of the fifth toe-side flat portion 12b and the upper surface of the thin heel part 12a are continuous.
