Abstract

The knitwear socks, having soles (7) with heels (5) and toes (6), are made with ridges (8) on the soles to promote relaxation when worn. The ridges are, for example, zigzag in shape and are made from small projecting ribs in the knitwear, made by different types of knitting. The sole ribs can be in the form of lines spaced between 1 and 3 mm apart, with each line covering a width of less than 6 mm. The ribs are made only on the soles of the feet, i.e. covering about half the circumference of each sock's foot.

Description

L'invention concerne un article chaussant tricoté, en particulier un mi-bas.The invention relates to a knitted footwear, in particular a knee-high.

Il est connu de placer dans une chaussure une semelle indépendante portant éventuellement des reliefs de relaxation, tels que des picots.It is known to place a sole in a shoe independent possibly carrying reliefs of relaxation, such as spikes.

Il est également connu d'associer de façon permanente à un article chaussant tricoté (par exemple un chausson pour bébé) une semelle réalisée dans une autre matière (généralement une matière plastique) ; la semelle est alors généralement collée, thermocollée ou thermosoudée à l'article chaussant. Une telle opération supplémentaire dans la fabrication de l'article en grève le coût. Au lieu d'une semelle, il peut s'agir de protubérances isolées fixées sur le tricot, comme l'enseigne le document EP-0 348 023 A, mais là encore une opération supplémentaire est nécessaire.It is also known to permanently associate with a knitted footwear (for example a baby bootie) a sole made of another material (usually plastic); the sole is then generally glued, heat-bonded or heat-sealed to footwear. Such an additional operation in manufacturing of the article strikes the cost. Instead of a sole, it can be isolated protrusions attached to the knit, as the document teaches EP-0 348 023 A, but here again an additional operation is necessary.

Le but de l'invention est de proposer un article chaussant tricoté d'un nouveau genre, pouvant se fabriquer en une seule opération et n'ayant pas les inconvénients des articles de l'art antérieur.The object of the invention is to provide an article of footwear a new kind of knitted fabric, which can be made in a single operation and not having the disadvantages of articles of the prior art.

L'invention atteint son but en proposant un article chaussant tricoté, en particulier un mi-bas, dont la semelle comporte des motifs en relief réalisés par tricotage, en même temps que le mi-bas lui-même, ce qui supprime la nécessité d'avoir à rapporter une semelle séparée.The invention achieves its goal by proposing an article of footwear knitted, in particular a knee-high, the sole of which has patterns in relief made by knitting, at the same time as the knee-high itself, this which eliminates the need to bring a separate sole.

Par motifs en relief, on entend des motifs qui conservent un relief notable même après que l'article a été enfilé sur le pied et que le tricot se trouve en extension.By relief patterns is meant patterns which retain a noticeable relief even after the item has been put on the foot and the knitting is in extension.

Les motifs en relief sont avantageusement sous forme de petits bourrelets, c'est-à-dire de portions partiellement tubulaires de tricot, s'élevant au-dessus de la surface moyenne du tricot ; les lèvres des portions partiellement tubulaires sont retenues dans le plan de ladite surface par des mailles spécifiques. Ces bourrelets tubulaires peuvent être obtenus par tricotage selon diverses techniques connues en soi, comme les techniques "d'accrochage aiguille", "d'accrochage plateau" ou "à double fonture". On peut se reporter par exemple au document US 2 872 800 A. Mais à la différence de l'art antérieur, les bourrelets de l'invention, qui n'ont pas d'abord une fonction esthétique mais sont destinés à former des reliefs sensibles sous les pieds, sont tricotés dans le métier circulaire seulement sur la partie qui va former la semelle (c'est-à-dire a peu près la moitié du bas) et non pas sur toute la périphérie du bas. D'autre part, les bourrelets de l'invention sont avantageusement tricotés avec un fil supplémentaire, de manière à donner plus de consistance au bourrelet.The relief patterns are advantageously in the form of small beads, that is to say partially tubular portions of knitted fabric, rising above the average surface of the knitted fabric; the lips of partially tubular portions are retained in the plane of said surface by specific meshes. These tubular beads can be obtained by knitting according to various techniques known per se, such as "needle hooking", "plate hooking" or "double" techniques needle bed ". We can refer for example to document US 2,872,800 A. But unlike the prior art, the beads of the invention, which do not initially have an aesthetic function but are intended to form sensitive reliefs under the feet, are knitted in the circular loom only on the part that will form the sole (i.e. roughly the half of the bottom) and not on the entire periphery of the bottom. On the other hand, beads of the invention are advantageously knitted with a thread additional, so as to give more consistency to the bead.

A la différence des côtes formées par tricotage, qui disparaissent presque entièrement lors de l'extension du tricot, les bourrelets de l'invention forment des portions tubulaires qui certes s'écrasent sous le pied mais constituent néanmoins une surépaisseur notable, sensible par ses effets relaxants.Unlike the ribs formed by knitting, which almost completely disappear when knitting is extended, the beads of the invention form tubular portions which certainly crash under the foot but nevertheless constitute an extra thickness notable, sensitive by its relaxing effects.

Dans un exemple de réalisation conduisant à d'excellents résultats sur le plan de la sensation de relaxation éprouvée par les utilisatrices, les reliefs sont sous forme de zigzags parallèles.In an exemplary embodiment leading to excellent results in terms of the feeling of relaxation experienced by users, the reliefs are in the form of parallel zigzags.

De préférence, les reliefs ont une hauteur inférieure à environ 6 mm et ils sont agencés selon des lignes espacées d'environ 1 à 3 mm.Preferably, the reliefs have a height less than about 6 mm and they are arranged in lines spaced about 1 to 3 mm apart.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description suivante. On se référera aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est un schéma d'un mi-bas relaxant conforme à l'invention, avec une partie en coupe au niveau de la semelle,
  • la figure 2 est un schéma de la partie du mi-bas formant semelle,
  • la figure 3 détaille le tricotage de chaque partie du mi-bas,
  • les figures 4 et 5 montrent schématiquement le plan de tricotage de la semelle respectivement au niveau du plan d'ensemble et du rattachement des mailles,
  • la figure 6 montre en perspective ces mailles du tricot au niveau d'un bourrelet,
  • les figures 7 et 8 montrent les bourrelets tubulaires de l'invention en coupe transversale, respectivement à l'état non écrasé et à l'état écrasé,
  • la figure 9 est un graphique déformation/force établi pour trois articles différents.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the following description. Reference is made to the appended drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a diagram of a relaxing knee-high according to the invention, with a part in section at the level of the sole,
  • FIG. 2 is a diagram of the part of the knee-high forming the sole,
  • FIG. 3 details the knitting of each part of the knee-high,
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 schematically show the knitting plane of the sole respectively at the level of the overall plan and of the attachment of the stitches,
  • FIG. 6 shows in perspective these knitted stitches at the level of a bead,
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show the tubular beads of the invention in cross section, respectively in the non-crushed state and in the crushed state,
  • Figure 9 is a strain / force graph drawn for three different items.

La figure 1 montre un mi-bas 1 comportant une partie de jambe 2 et une partie de pied 3.Figure 1 shows a knee-high 1 with a leg portion 2 and part of foot 3.

La partie de jambe 2 peut être réalisée, comme connu en soi, de manière à exercer une pression graduelle du mollet à la cheville. Elle se termine par un bord-côte 4.The leg part 2 can be made, as known per se, so as to exert a gradual pressure from the calf to the ankle. She ends with a ribbing 4.

La partie de pied 3 comporte une partie de semelle 7 terminée d'un côté par la partie de talon 5 et de l'autre par la partie de pointe 6, ces deux parties 5 et 6 étant renforcées comme connu en soi.The foot part 3 has a finished sole part 7 on one side by the heel part 5 and on the other by the toe part 6, these two parts 5 and 6 being reinforced as known per se.

Selon l'invention la semelle 7 est tridimensionnelle et comporte, obtenus directement lors du tricotage et donc non rapportés, des motifs en relief 8, par exemple en zigzags parallèles comme représenté sur la figure 2. Les reliefs 8 sont séparés par des parties plates 9.According to the invention, the sole 7 is three-dimensional and comprises, obtained directly during knitting and therefore not reported, relief patterns 8, for example in parallel zigzags as shown in FIG. 2. The reliefs 8 are separated by flat parts 9.

La hauteur des bourrelets tricotés constituant les reliefs 8 peut varier en fonction de l'effet recherché. Dès une hauteur très faible (quelques dixièmes de millimètre), une sensation apparaít sous le pied. Plus le relief est haut, plus la dureté diminue, de sorte qu'on considère en pratique que la hauteur doit être inférieure à 6 mm.The height of the knitted beads constituting the reliefs 8 can vary depending on the desired effect. From a very low height (a few tenths of a millimeter), a sensation appears under the foot. The higher the relief, the more the hardness decreases, so that we consider in practical that the height must be less than 6 mm.

La distance entre les parties en relief 8 (entre les lignes en zigzag pour le mode de réalisation représenté) est de préférence comprise entre 1 et 3 mm.The distance between the raised parts 8 (between the lines in zigzag for the embodiment shown) is preferably included between 1 and 3 mm.

Le mi-bas de l'invention peut être tricoté selon le procédé et les caractéristiques illustrés en figure 3 où l'on retrouvera les parties indiquées numérotées ci-dessus. Dans un exemple particulier de réalisation, on a utilisé un métier à tricoter de marque LONATI L304.The knee-high of the invention can be knitted according to the method and the characteristics illustrated in figure 3 where we will find the parts indicated numbered above. In a particular example of realization, we used a LONATI L304 knitting loom.

La jambe 2 et le dessus du pied 3 sont tricotés avec ou sans jeu de mailles en une chute sur deux, avec serre progressive pour la jambe ; la semelle est tricotée toutes les chutes de manière à donner une forme galbée épousant parfaitement le pied et le talon.Leg 2 and the top of foot 3 are knitted with or without play of stitches in every other fall, with progressive clamp for the leg; the sole is knitted every fall so as to give a shape shapely fitting perfectly to the foot and heel.

Sur un article type collant, le dessous du pied est tricoté en général avec les fils de jambe 2 et de dessus de pied 3 alternés avec un gros fil guipé ajouté. Le tricotage est réalisé en jersey sur toutes les aiguilles au niveau des parties plates 9 suivant la plante du pied. Pour les parties de bourrelet 8, les 2 fils sont tricotés 2 aiguilles sur 3 (avec possibilité 1 sur 2 ou 2 sur 4) toujours sur les mêmes aiguilles sur toutes les rangées ; les aiguilles ne tricotant pas dans cette partie conservent les dernières mailles réalisées dans la partie plate 9 précédente qui seront rattachées aux premières mailles de la partie plate 9 suivante. Ceci est mieux illustré sur les figures 4 à 6. Les figures 4 et 5 montrent notamment la forme en chevrons donnée aux bourrelets 8 et aux parties intermédiaires 9.On a sticky item, the bottom of the foot is knitted in general with leg 2 and toe 3 wires alternated with a large wrapped yarn added. Knitting is done in jersey on all needles at the flat parts 9 following the sole of the foot. For the bead parts 8, the 2 threads are knitted 2 needles out of 3 (with possibility 1 of 2 or 2 of 4) always on the same needles on all the rows; needles not knitting in this part keep the last stitches made in the previous flat part 9 which will be attached to the first stitches of the following flat part 9. this is better illustrated in Figures 4 to 6. Figures 4 and 5 show in particular the herringbone shape given to the beads 8 and to the intermediate parts 9.

La figure 6 montre la forme tubulaire d'un bourrelet 8 entre deux régions plates 9. Le fil hachuré correspond au fil guipé ajouté dans la partie de semelle. La figure montre notamment les mailles 10 accrochant entre elles les lèvres de la partie tubulaire 8.Figure 6 shows the tubular shape of a bead 8 between two flat regions 9. The hatched wire corresponds to the wrapped wire added in the sole part. The figure shows in particular the meshes 10 hanging between them the lips of the tubular part 8.

Sur les coupes transversales des figures 7 et 8, on voit que, à l'état écrasé (figure 8) le bourrelet 8 va s'aplatir certes, mais continuer de former une surépaisseur.On the cross sections of Figures 7 and 8, we see that, at the crushed state (Figure 8) the bead 8 will flatten, of course, but continue to form an allowance.

Cette technique d'accrochage par les mailles 10 est appelée plus communément «accrochage aiguille», et peut être utilisée par exemple pour la réalisation des ceintures de collant. Mais, comme il a été dit précédemment, on peut utiliser les techniques "d'accrochage plateau" ou "double fonture" sur des métiers à tricoter adaptés.This technique of attachment by meshes 10 is called more commonly "needle hooking", and can be used for example for making tights belts. But, as has been said previously, we can use the techniques "shelf hooking" or "double needle bed" on suitable knitting looms.

La partie de dessus de pied 3 peut être réalisée en titrage fin ou en gros titrage en tricotant uniquement les fils correspondants 1 rangée sur 2 dans un positionnement identique au dessous de pied.The upper part of the foot 3 can be carried out in fine titration or in large titration by knitting only the corresponding threads 1 row on 2 in an identical positioning at the bottom of the foot.

On a réalisé des mesures de déformation en fonction de l'effort exercé sur différents supports ; les résultats en sont illustrés sur le graphique de la figure 9 qui montre les courbes déformation/efforts obtenus respectivement pour un tricot traditionnel (courbe A), une semelle relaxante conforme à l'invention (courbe B) et une semelle de mousse de 2 mm d'épaisseur (courbe C).We carried out deformation measurements as a function of the force exercised on different supports; the results are illustrated on the graph of FIG. 9 which shows the deformation / stress curves obtained respectively for a traditional knit (curve A), a sole relaxing according to the invention (curve B) and a foam sole of 2 mm thick (curve C).

Les mesures ont été effectuées en plaçant un mi-bas (taille 38) sur une forme, en condition de port. A l'aide d'un cylindre de 1 cm2 de surface, on exerce une force sur la semelle et on mesure la déformation de la semelle en fonction de ladite force.The measurements were made by placing a knee-high (size 38) on a form, in wearing condition. Using a cylinder with a surface area of 1 cm 2 , a force is exerted on the sole and the deformation of the sole is measured as a function of said force.

En comparant les courbes A et B, on constate qu'à force égale, la semelle de l'invention se déforme beaucoup plus (pour une force de 4N, la déformation est inférieure à 0,3 mm pour le tricot ordinaire et atteint 0,9 mm pour la semelle de l'invention). La semelle de l'invention joue donc un rôle d'amortisseur améliorant le confort : en effet, lors de la marche, le pied subit des pressions élevées sur des petites surfaces en contact avec le sol ; une semelle qui se déforme permet d'augmenter la surface en contact, ce qui réduit la pression.By comparing curves A and B, we see that at equal force, the sole of the invention deforms much more (for a force of 4N, the deformation is less than 0.3 mm for ordinary knitting and reaches 0.9 mm for the sole of the invention). The sole of the invention plays therefore a role of shock absorber improving comfort: indeed, during the walking, the foot is under high pressure on small areas in contact with the ground; a deforming sole increases the surface in contact, which reduces pressure.

L'on compare maintenant l'énergie absorbée par les différents supports entre 2,5 N/cm2 et 4,5 N/cm2 représentée par les secteurs hachurés sur le graphique de la figure 9. Ces deux valeurs correspondent sensiblement à la plage de variations des valeurs de pression exercées sur le pied pendant la marche.We now compare the energy absorbed by the different supports between 2.5 N / cm 2 and 4.5 N / cm 2 represented by the hatched sectors on the graph in Figure 9. These two values correspond substantially to the range variations in the pressure values exerted on the foot during walking.

On constate en comparant les courbes A et B qu'on absorbe deux fois plus d'énergie avec la semelle relaxante de l'invention qu'avec une semelle de tricot ordinaire.We see by comparing the curves A and B that we absorb twice as much energy with the relaxing sole of the invention as with an ordinary knit sole.

En revanche en comparant les courbes B et C, on constate qu'on absorbe sensiblement la même quantité d'énergie avec la semelle de l'invention d'une part et avec une semelle de mousse de 2 mm d'autre part, et ce avec une déformation deux fois moindre.On the other hand, by comparing curves B and C, we note that we absorb substantially the same amount of energy with the sole of the invention on the one hand and with a 2 mm foam sole on the other part, and this with half the deformation.
