Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sock having a shape conforming to a human foot shape: and to provide a method for knitting the sock. <P>SOLUTION: The sock is knitted so that the outside of a heel part, i.e., the fifth toe side is knitted larger than the inside of the heel part, i.e., the first toe side. The method for knitting the sock having such a shape stated above comprises the following process: knitting the sock from its rib top part to its foot part through its body part; wherein the outer side of the heel part, i.e., the fifth toe side of the wearer is knitted while decreasing stitches and sequentially increasing stitches; and knitting the inner side of the heel part, i.e., the first toe side of the wearer in the order corresponding to decrease, increase, decrease and increase. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a sock, and more particularly to a sock that better fits a person's heel and a knitting method thereof.

  The general knitting method of socks is as follows.

  FIG. 5 is a front view of the sock with the names of each part. Socks are generally roughly divided into three parts: a mouth rubber part A, a body part B, and a foot part C.

The elastic band part A is knitted with flat knitting with rubber knitting or rubber yarn inserted to increase elasticity,
Plays a role in preventing socks from falling off.

  The body part B is knitted with an arbitrary organization such as flat knitting.

The foot part C is further divided into each part of the heel part C1, the instep part C2, the sole part C3 and the toe part C4. The heel part C1 and the toe part C4 are knitted by reducing and increasing the number of times around the gore line. The instep C2 and the sole C3 are knitted with an arbitrary organization such as flat knitting.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-164405 proposes a sock in which the knitted fabric of the buttock has a margin and the feeling of cramping when worn is reduced.
JP 2001-164405 A

  Conventional socks are generally knitted without distinction such as for left foot and right foot without being particular about the shape of the human foot. In addition, the one side of the pair of socks is knitted without considering the difference in the shape of the inside and outside of the foot.

  However, human feet do not have a symmetrical shape. For example, the heel is usually smaller on the inner side (first heel / thumb side) and larger on the outer side (fifth heel / little finger side) than the inner side. is there.

  However, as described above, the conventional socks are knitted on the inner side and the outer side symmetrically without being particular about the shape difference like a human heel.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a sock having a shape that matches the shape of a person's foot and a method for knitting the sock.

  In order to solve the above problems, the sock according to the present invention is knitted on the outer side of the heel part, that is, the fifth heel side, larger than the inner side, that is, the first heel side.

  Moreover, the following knitting methods were adopted as a knitting method for the socks having such a shape.

  In socks that are knitted from the rubber band part to the body part and then to the foot part, the outside of the buttock, that is, the wearer's fifth heel side is knitted while reducing and increasing eyes. The inside of the buttock, that is, the first heel side of the wearer is knitted in the order of reducing eyes, increasing eyes, decreasing eyes and increasing eyes.

  In addition, a large number of wales were knitted in the outer direction of the kite.

  The following describes how such a solution works to solve the problem.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of a sock according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a rear view of the same. Here, the front view is seen from the inside, that is, the first side, and the rear view is seen from the outside, that is, the fifth side. The socks shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are for the right foot.

  The sock according to the present invention has a feature that is different from a normal sock knitting method in the knitting method inside the buttocks. That is, the reduction eye step and the increase eye step are not performed once as in the normal knitting method, but the reduction eye and the increase eye are further performed one step at a time. As a result, the inside is shrunk compared to the outside. That is, L1 is shorter than L2 in the figure.

  Further, since the number of wales is knitted in the outer direction of the heel, the outer side is knitted larger than the inner side.

  Thus, the present invention makes it possible to provide a sock that fits the shape of a human foot, that is, the inside of the heel is smaller than the outside, that is, a sock that fits the heel better.

  Preferred embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  The sock knitting method according to the present invention may be the general sock knitting method described in the background art except for the knitting method of the buttock. Therefore, the knitting method of the buttocks that characterizes the present invention will be described below.

  The sock according to the present invention is not different from a normal sock knitting method in that the sock according to the present invention is knitted while the eye is reduced and increased as in the case of a normal sock. In other words, the long bat needle on approximately half the circumference of the cylinder (opposite to the keyway of the cylinder) is raised to the non-knitting level (upper surface of the center cam) and raised by the switch cam. Knitting is carried out while reducing or increasing the number of stitches by needle-up picker and needle-down by forward and backward reciprocating rotation.

  However, the knitting range is made wider in the outer knitting direction as shown in FIG. FIG. 4 schematically shows the cylinder. The knitting range is set larger than the half circumference of the cylinder 4 in the buttock outer knitting direction. In other words, the number of wales increases outside the buttock.

  In addition, each point of A, X, and E in the figure indicates the knitting position of each point of A, X, and E in FIGS.

  However, the sock according to the present invention is different from the normal heel knitting in that the sock according to the present invention has two steps of reducing and increasing eyes inside the heel. In other words, as shown in FIG. 1, from the end point A on the gore line 2a to the end point C on the gore line 2a, which is the point at which the knitting of the body part 3 enters the knitting of the buttocks part 1, is the reduction step. The intermediate point B is the increasing step, B is the decreasing step from B to the end point D on the gore line 2a, and the increasing step is from D to A where the knitting of the heel part 1 is completed.

  Unlike the inner knitting described above, the outer knitting is performed one step at a time for both the reduction eye and the increase eye like a normal sock. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, from the end point E on the gore line 2b, which is the point where the knitting of the body part 3 to the knitting of the buttock part 1, from the end point F on the gore line 2b is the reduction step. Up to E, which is the point at which the knitting is completed, is the increase step.

  FIG. 3 is a development view of the flange 1 as viewed from the right side. X, Y and A to F in the figure correspond to X, Y and A to F in FIGS.
