Description

Socke mit verstärktem FußauftrittsbereichSock with reinforced footstep area
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Socke mit verstärktem Fersen- und Zehenbereich und einem zwischen dem Zehen- und Fersenbereich liegenden Auftrittsbereich.The invention relates to a sock with a reinforced heel and toe area and a tread area located between the toe and heel area.
Es ist allgemein bekannt, daß beim Tragen von Socken der Fersen- und Zehenbereich besonders stark beansprucht wird. Diese Beanspruchung resul¬ tiert aus der Gehbewegung, die zu einer Reibung des Fersen- und Zehenbe- reichs am Schuhwerk führt. Um einen vorschnellen Verschleiß der Socke zu verhindern, ist bereits vorgeschlagen worden, Socken mit verstärktem Fersen- und Zehenbereich auszubilden. Ferner ist durch die EP 0 015 119 eine Socke mit einem Ballenfrotteebereich, einem Fersenfrotteebereich und einem Gewölbebereich, welche Bereiche durchgehend aus einem Grundgarn gestrickt sind, bekannt. Im Fersenbereich und im Ballenbereich ist die Socke ent¬ sprechend verstärkt. Die Verstärkungen dienen der besseren Absorption von Stößen, die dann auftreten, wenn der Träger der Socken beispielsweise einen Dauerlauf unternimmt.It is generally known that the heel and toe areas are particularly stressed when wearing socks. This stress results from the walking movement, which leads to a friction of the heel and toe area on the footwear. In order to prevent premature wear of the sock, it has already been proposed to form socks with a reinforced heel and toe area. Furthermore, EP 0 015 119 discloses a sock with a ball terry area, a heel terry area and a vault area, which areas are knitted throughout from a base yarn. The sock is reinforced accordingly in the heel area and in the ball area. The reinforcements serve to better absorb shocks that occur when the sock wearer, for example, runs continuously.
In Abhängigkeit von der Größe der Verstärkung des Zehen- und Fersenbe¬ reichs kann das Tragen einer solchen Socke als unangenehm empfunden werden, da die Socke der anatomischen Form des Fußes im Sohlenbereich nicht entspricht. Hiervon ausgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, die bekannte Socke so weiterzubilden, daß diese eine verbesserte Trageigen¬ schaft aufweist.Depending on the size of the reinforcement of the toe and heel area, wearing such a sock can be felt as uncomfortable, since the sock does not correspond to the anatomical shape of the foot in the sole area. Proceeding from this, the present invention is based on the object of developing the known sock so that it has an improved wearing property.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Socke mit verstärktem Fersen- und Zehenbereich und einem zwischen dem Zehen- und Fersenbe¬ reich liegenden Auftrittsbereich gelöst, wobei der Auftrittsbereich zwischen dem Fersen- und Zehenbereich verstärkt ist. Durch die Ausbildung des verstärkten Auftrittsbereichs wird der zwischen dem Zehen- und Fersenbe- reich sich ergebende Höhenunterschied ausgeglichen, so daß die Socke der anatomischen Form des Fußes im Sohlenbereich besser folgt. Ein weiterer Vorteil des verstärkten Auftrittsbereichs besteht darin, daß dieser den Ver¬ schleiß der Socke verringert.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a sock with a reinforced heel and toe area and a tread area lying between the toe and heel area, the tread area between the heel and toe area being reinforced. The formation of the reinforced tread area compensates for the difference in height between the toe and heel area, so that the sock better follows the anatomical shape of the foot in the sole area. Another advantage of the reinforced tread area is that it reduces the wear on the sock.
Bevorzugt ist eine Ausbildung der Socke, bei der die Auftrittsbereichsver¬ stärkung im Bereich der Fußauftrittsfläche ausgebildet ist. Hierbei ist die Auftrittsbereichsverstärkung so konturiert, daß diese der Fußauftrittsfläche entspricht. Durch diese Maßnahme wird eine Socke bereitgestellt, die in den verschleißrelevanten Bereichen verstärkt ist. Es ist nicht zwingend notwendig, im Gesamtbereich der Brücke des Fußes eine Verstärkung vorzusehen, da die Socke in diesem Bereich nur teilweise belastet wird. Ein weiterer Vorteil einer solchen Socke besteht darin, daß die Socke sich besser an orthopädisch geformte Schuheinlagen anpaßt.An embodiment of the sock is preferred in which the tread area reinforcement is formed in the area of the foot tread surface. Here, the tread area reinforcement is contoured so that it corresponds to the foot tread surface. This measure provides a sock that is reinforced in the wear-relevant areas. It is not absolutely necessary to provide reinforcement in the entire area of the foot bridge, since the sock is only partially loaded in this area. Another advantage of such a sock is that the sock adapts better to orthopedic shoe insoles.
Zur Ausbildung des verstärkten Auftrittsbereichs wird vorgeschlagen, die Verstärkung durch wenigstens einen zusätzlich eingestrickten Faden auszubil¬ den. Vorzugsweise ist die Auftrittsbereichsverstärkung durch ein rechts/links- Gestrick gebildet, wobei das Gestrick durch mindestens einen zusätzlichen Faden verstärkt ist. Vorzugsweise wird die Verstärkung des durch ein rechts/links-Gestrick gebildeten Auftrittsbereichsverstärkung durch die Ein- arbeitung eines zusätzlichen Fadens als Plüschhenkel verstärkt. Bevorzugt handelt es sich bei dem Faden z.B. um einen Polyamidfaden.To form the reinforced tread area, it is proposed that the reinforcement be formed by at least one additionally knitted-in thread. The tread area reinforcement is preferably formed by a right / left knitted fabric, the knitted fabric being reinforced by at least one additional thread. The reinforcement of the tread area reinforcement formed by a right / left knitted fabric is preferably Working an additional thread as a plush handle reinforced. The thread is preferably, for example, a polyamide thread.
Wenn die Socke eine Auftrittsbereichsverstärkung aufweist, die der Fußauf- trittsfläche entspricht, muß zwischen Socken für den rechten Fuß und Socken für den linken Fuß unterschieden werden, da ansonsten eine richtige Zuord¬ nung der Socke zum Fuß nicht getroffen werden kann. Es wird daher vorgeschlagen, den Auftrittsverstärkungsbereich so auszubilden, daß dieser eine sich wenigstens optisch von anderen Sockenabschnitten unterscheidende Struktur aufweist. Zusätzlich kann die Auftrittsbereichsverstärkung haptisch von den anderen Sockenabschnitten unterschieden werden. Sowohl eine optische als auch eine haptische Unterscheidung kann dadurch erzielt werden, daβ die Auftrittsbereichsverstärkung flauschig aufgerauht bzw. aus Plüsch¬ henkeln gebildet ist.If the sock has a tread area reinforcement that corresponds to the foot tread surface, a distinction must be made between socks for the right foot and socks for the left foot, since otherwise the sock cannot be correctly assigned to the foot. It is therefore proposed to design the tread reinforcement area so that it has a structure that is at least optically different from other sock sections. In addition, the tread area reinforcement can be differentiated haptically from the other sock sections. Both a visual and a haptic distinction can be achieved by roughening the tread area reinforcement or forming it from plush handles.
Gemäß einem weiteren Gedanken wird vorgeschlagen, die Socke mit wenig¬ stens einer optischen Markierung zu versehen. Die Markierung ist vorzugs¬ weise im Schaftbereich der Socke ausgebildet. Um die Markierung nicht als störend zu empfinden, was unter Umständen bei ästhetisch besonders ausge- stalteten Socken der Fall sein kann, wird vorgeschlagen, die Markierung an der Innenseite der Socke auszubilden. Bevorzugt ist die Markierung in der Socke eingestrickt.According to a further idea, it is proposed to provide the sock with at least one optical marking. The marking is preferably formed in the shaft area of the sock. In order not to perceive the marking as annoying, which may be the case with socks that are particularly aesthetically designed, it is proposed to form the marking on the inside of the sock. The marking is preferably knitted into the sock.
Um bei einem Sockenpaar unterscheiden zu können, welche Socke auf den rechten bzw. den linken Fuß gehört, wird vorgeschlagen, die Markierung der einen Socke so auszubilden, daß diese sich von der anderen Socke unterscheidet. Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale des Erfindungsgegenstandes werden anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert. Es zeigen:In order to be able to differentiate with a pair of socks which sock belongs on the right or left foot, it is proposed to design the marking of one sock so that it differs from the other sock. Further advantages and features of the subject matter of the invention are explained using an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing. Show it:
Fig. 1 eine Socke in der Vorderansicht,1 is a sock in the front view,
Fig. 2 eine Socke für einen rechten Fuß in der Unteransicht undFig. 2 is a sock for a right foot in the bottom view and
Fig. 3 eine Socke für einen linken Fuß in der Unteransicht.Fig. 3 is a sock for a left foot in the bottom view.
In der Fig. 1 ist eine Socke 1 in der Vorderansicht dargestellt. Die Socke 1 weist einen Fußbereich 2 und einen Schaftbereich 3 auf. Der vordere Fußbereich 2 weist einen verstärkten Zehenbereich 4 auf. Die Ferse der Socke 1 ist im Fersenbereich 5 verstärkt. Zwischen dem Zehenbereich 4 und dem Fersenbereich 5 ist ein Auftrittsbereich 6 ausgebildet, welcher gegenüber dem Schaftbereich 3 und dem Fußbereich 2 verstärkt ist. Der Verstärkungsgrad des Auftrittsbereichs 6 kann dem Verstärkungsgrad des Zehenbereichs 4 bzw. des Fersenbereichs 5 entsprechen. Im oberen Bereich des Schaftes 3 ist eine optische Markierung 7 ausgebildet, die in dem Schaftbereich 3 eingestrickt ist.In Fig. 1, a sock 1 is shown in the front view. The sock 1 has a foot region 2 and a shaft region 3. The front foot area 2 has a reinforced toe area 4. The heel of the sock 1 is reinforced in the heel area 5. A tread area 6 is formed between the toe area 4 and the heel area 5 and is reinforced in relation to the shaft area 3 and the foot area 2. The degree of reinforcement of the tread region 6 can correspond to the degree of reinforcement of the toe region 4 or the heel region 5. An optical marking 7 is formed in the upper region of the shaft 3 and is knitted into the shaft region 3.
Wie aus den Fig. 2 und 3 ersichtlich ist, ist der Auftrittsbereich 6 ent¬ sprechend der Fußauftrittsfläche ausgestaltet.As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3, the tread area 6 is designed in accordance with the foot tread surface.
Sofern in der Beschreibung und in den Ansprüchen von Socken die Rede ist, so wird dieser Begriff als Oberbegriff für Strumpfwaren im weitesten Sinne verstanden, so z. B. auch für Kniestrümpfe und Strümpfe. BEZUGSZEICHENLISTEInsofar as the description and claims refer to socks, this term is understood as a generic term for hosiery in the broadest sense.
