Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sock that covers a person's feet and has a heat retaining and protecting action.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, there has been an effect in which wearing a sock has an effect of warming a foot or moisturizing the skin of the foot. For example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3040928, a cloth in which a vitamin capsule is adhered to a heel portion is used, or a material of a soil pad portion is a far-infrared radiation cloth, and a material of a fingertip portion is an antibacterial material. There was a sock that was a deodorant cloth.

[0003] In this sock, the foot of the soil was warmed by far-infrared rays, and the heel was moisturized by activating the skin of the heel by each vitamin component. And the fingertip part was able to suppress the propagation and odor of harmful bacteria.

[0004]

In the case of the above-mentioned prior art, there was an effect of warming and moisturizing the foot, but no effect of removing and protecting keratin such as heels. Also,
In the case of removing keratin, it was troublesome to rub it off with a pumice stone or a hard cloth, or to soften it with a keratin agent to remove it.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a sock from which keratin is naturally removed by moving on.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a sock in which a friction portion is provided at least on an inner side surface in contact with the sole of the foot, and the friction portion has an abrasive and a humectant adhered by a binder. The friction portion is provided at a position in contact with the heel or the toe of the sole of the foot. The abrasive is a powder of tourmaline or another inorganic material.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show a sock 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
A friction portion 14 is provided on the inner surface of a sock body 12 made of silk or the like. The friction portion 14 is provided on the entire sole of the user's foot and on a part of the side surface reaching the heel from the sole of the foot.

[0008] The friction portion 14 is provided by a synthetic resin binder having flexibility.
Contains chitosan, tourmaline powder, and silk protein.

[0009] Here, chitosan is a natural polymer having high safety and excellent biocompatibility. It is also one of the few polycations in nature that has highly reactive amino groups and strongly adsorbs to cellulose and protein surfaces. Antibacterial,
Has moisture retention and moisture absorption / release properties.

Silk protein is a natural ingredient of silk. In particular, fibroin contains a large amount of 21 amino acids in the same manner as amino acid composition close to human skin.
It is a skin-friendly material with excellent moisture retention, heat retention and moisture absorption / release properties of silk. In addition, many clinical cases have been reported which increase the vitality of skin cells, cleanse the skin and prevent aging, and are good for skin diseases and allergies.

[0011] Tourmaline, which is also referred to as “tourmaline”, has a hardness of 7 to 7.5 (Mohs hardness) and is used as an abrasive for woodwork products. The ore is a polar crystal and has charging characteristics. Tourmaline has the effect of improving blood circulation, reducing fatigue and enhancing immunity through the combined effect of negative ions and far infrared rays. If tourmaline is limited to health only, it has the function of once absorbing the heat energy released from the human body, converting it into far-infrared rays and negative ions, and returning it to the human body again. It is said that this function has the effect of improving the peripheral circulation of humans and normalizing the autonomic nervous system, relieving the nervousness of the body, relaxing the nerves and stabilizing the brain waves, so that it is possible to have a great sleep. Also, as a major feature, in order to improve the blood circulation itself as well as the part to which tourmaline is adhered, even a small amount of the adhered part spreads to the entire human body.

In the method of manufacturing the sock 10 of this embodiment, a synthetic resin binder mixed with chitosan, silk protein, and tourmaline powder is applied to the inner surface of the sock body 12 in a predetermined shape. After drying for a time, the fibers are fixed to the fibers, and the friction portions 14 are formed.

According to the sock 10 of this embodiment, silk protein and tourmaline powder are adhered to the inside of the sock body 12 by the film-forming effect of chitosan. Moisturizing and health-promoting effects. In addition, when performing exercise such as walking while wearing the sock 10, friction occurs between the sole of the foot and the friction part 14 due to the frictional resistance and abrasiveness of the tourmaline powder, and the keratinized skin of the sole of the foot is removed. It can be gradually removed and smoothed. Then, silk protein enhances the vitality of skin cells on the surface of the renewed skin, imparts an effect of cleaning the skin and preventing aging. In addition, the antibacterial property of chitosan prevents the growth of various bacteria in shoes and has an anti-odor effect. In addition, the humidifying property and the moisture absorbing / releasing property of chitosan can prevent direct stuffiness to feet. And since the friction part 14 is provided by being printed on the sock main body 12,
The sock body 12 made of any material can be easily formed, and the friction portion 14 is provided inside the sock body 12, so that the appearance of the sock body 12 does not change.
It does not spoil the design.

The sock of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the shape of the friction portion may be provided only on the keratinized portions such as the heel and both sides of the foot. The friction portion may be formed not only uniformly on one surface but also in a stripe pattern or a polka dot pattern. Also, the material of the sock body may be cotton or silk, and if it is made of silk, it is not necessary to put silk protein. The abrasive may be ceramic powder or the like in addition to tourmaline powder.

[0015]

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific examples. The composition of the synthetic resin for printing the friction portion 14 of the sock 10 is, for example, 3% of chitosan and 90% of acetic acid.
3%, tourmaline powder 20%, synthetic resin binder 50%,
Others are 24%.

The method of forming the friction portion 14 of the sock 10 is as follows.
First, the sock body 12 is turned over, and the backing paper is inserted into the sock body 12. Next, a synthetic resin having the above composition is applied, and
Allow to air dry for minutes. Thereafter, the backing sheet is pulled out and dried for 30 minutes. Then, the sock main body 12 is turned over and returned to the original state, and inspection, arrangement, and packing are performed.

[0017]

The sock of the present invention is simple because it can naturally remove keratin by friction when worn and exercising. In addition, this sock has antibacterial properties, moisturizing properties, and moisture absorbing / releasing properties, so that it can be worn comfortably. Furthermore, the addition of silk protein has the effect of increasing the vitality of skin cells on the skin surface where the keratin has been removed and renewed, cleansing the skin and preventing aging.
