Definitions
- a sock of the type to which the invention pertains is known from US 2015/0047103A1 .
- the sock described in this document has a foot section with a sole portion and an instep portion, and a leg section connected to the foot section.
- the leg section includes a heel portion and an ankle portion and is distinct from the foot section.
- a plurality of spaced apart strip-shaped raised tube ribs are formed of hydrophobic or hydrophilic yarn or of a combination as cushion yarn/terry on the inner surface facing the skin of the wearer in order to define channels between the adjacent raised ribs that provide for vented air circulation from the bottom of the sole around the sides toward the top or instep portion of the foot section of the sock in order to carry moisture or sweat as vapour or fluid from the relatively lower portion of the wearer's foot towards the upper portion or instep of the foot.
- the instep portion, the heel portion and a heel edge rib are made from hydrophilic material to wick moisture toward an ankle opening edge.
- channels made with or from hydrophilic material i.e. in a blend including hydrophilic material or with only hydrophilic material, and formed in the flat knit structure give a drier feel to skin as the channels are comparatively distanced unlike the predominantly hydrophobic main body.
- the hydrophobic zone shifts the moisture to the hydrophilic channels by combined effect of wicking and diffusion.
- the transport of the moisture through the channels to the evaporation zone at the leg section increases the evaporation because the leg section of the foot is exposed to maximum air flow with every single step taken. This enables the moisture lift off (evaporation) by the atmosphere creating evaporative cooling to additionally comfort the wearer.
- the moisture collection channels are formed in the flat knit structure in the material of the sock, i.e. in a knit or jersey structure.
- the moisture transport channel(s) has/have one or more portions with expanded width, preferably in the direction of extension toward the leg section.
- This structure accommodates the increase of the amount of moisture and utilizes the larger effect of evaporation on the route towards the evaporation zone at the leg portion.
- the moisture collection channels and, if provided, preferably the moisture transport channel(s) are generally strip-shaped.
- the strip shape of the hydrophilic channels within the hydrophobic material of the sock supports the above described effects of transport of moisture and imparts a directional component to the transport of moisture.
- the evaporation zone is located at and/or around the ankle portion of the leg section. At these portions the evaporation is maximized due to the essentially unimpeded exposure to the atmosphere.
- the base layer of the sock i.e. the foot and leg sections 2,3, is formed mainly with or from hydrophobic material, which is made in a single layer construction, preferably in a terry construction and more preferably with the terry piles located on the side facing the foot of the wearer.
- hydrophobic materials for the base layer of the sock are polypropylene, polyester or acrylic but other materials known in the art may be used as well as long as they can be considered as hydrophobic.
- the yarns can be optionally treated to increase hydrophobicity.
