Abstract

The sock (1), comprising a foot (3) and a leg section (4), has the latter made with a greater rigidity, produced e.g. by nylon yarns running parallel to its main lengthwise axis (AX). The leg section is in two halves (11, 12) with lengthwise ribs creating a series of grooves (18) and projections (19) that fit one inside the other when the upper half is folded over the lower one to create two layers.

Description

L'invention concerne une chaussette comprenant un pied et un manchon ou tige prolongeant ce pied, cette chaussette étant destinée à être portée par une personne, de telle façon que le pied de la chaussette entoure le pied de cette personne et que le manchon entoure la cheville ainsi qu'une partie inférieure du mollet de cette personne.The invention relates to a sock comprising a foot and a sleeve or rod extending this foot, this sock being intended to be worn by a person, so that the foot of the sock surrounds the foot of the person and that the sleeve surrounds the foot. ankle and a lower part of that person's calf.

Les chaussettes connues comprennent généralement un manchon incluant une portion supérieure très élastique qui enserre le mollet de manière à maintenir ce manchon en position, pour qu'il ne plisse pas et ne descende pas le long du mollet et de la cheville. On pourra notamment se référer aux documents DE 203 14 607 U1 , US 4 422 307 et US 4 253 317 , lesquels divulguent des chaussettes présentant des manchons en deux parties d'élasticités différentes.Known socks generally include a sleeve including a highly elastic upper portion which grips the calf to maintain the sleeve in position so that it does not crease or descend along the calf and ankle. In particular, documents may be referred to DE 203 14 607 U1 , US 4 422 307 and US 4,253,317 , which disclose socks having sleeves in two parts of different elasticities.

Le manchon est d'autant mieux maintenu que la portion élastique enserre fortement le mollet, de sorte qu'il est nécessaire que la partite supérieure du manchon soit très élastique, de façon à assurer un maintien satisfaisant.The sleeve is all the better maintained that the elastic portion strongly tightens the calf, so it is necessary that the upper partite of the sleeve is very elastic, so as to ensure a satisfactory maintenance.

Il s'ensuit que la portion élastique du manchon exerce un effort d'enserrement, ou contention, qui perturbe la circulation sanguine au niveau de la cheville et/ou du mollet, ce qui provoque une sensation désagréable favorisant notamment l'apparition de varices.It follows that the elastic portion of the sleeve exerts a constraining force, or contention, which disrupts the blood circulation in the ankle and / or calf, which causes an uncomfortable sensation favoring in particular the appearance of varicose veins.

Le but de l'invention est de proposer une chaussette dans laquelle le manchon est maintenu en position autour du mollet et de la cheville sans produire un effet de contention important.The object of the invention is to provide a sock in which the sleeve is held in position around the calf and the ankle without producing a significant compression effect.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une chaussette, comprenant un pied et un manchon ou tige prolongeant ce pied, caractérisée en ce que le manchon a une rigidité plus importante que le pied, cette rigidité assurant le maintien du manchon lorsque la chaussette est portée par une personne.For this purpose, the invention relates to a sock, comprising a foot and a sleeve or rod extending the foot, characterized in that the sleeve has a greater rigidity than the foot, this rigidity ensuring the maintenance of the sleeve when the sock is worn by a person.

La rigidité du manchon lui permet d'être maintenu en position autour de la cheville et du mollet, en l'empêchant de descendre, sans que ce manchon n'enserre fortement la cheville. Le manchon peut par exemple être conçu sans élément élastique, de sorte qu'il n'exerce aucun effort de contention sur la cheville et/ou le mollet. Ce manchon peut aussi être conçu en étant très faiblement élastique, cette faible élasticité assurant uniquement que le manchon est en appui sur la cheville et/ou le mollet qu'il entoure.The rigidity of the sleeve allows it to be held in position around the ankle and calf, preventing it from descending, without this sleeve strongly ankle. The sleeve may for example be designed without elastic element, so that it exerts no effort of contention on the ankle and / or the calf. This sleeve can also be designed with very little elasticity, this low elasticity ensuring only that the sleeve is supported on the ankle and / or the calf that surrounds.

L'invention concerne également une chaussette telle que définie ci-dessus, dans laquelle le manchon est fabriqué avec une étoffe renforcée par un ou plusieurs éléments de rigidification, tels que des fils de nylon, s'étendant parallèlement à une direction principale du manchon.The invention also relates to a sock as defined above, wherein the sleeve is made of a fabric reinforced by one or more stiffening elements, such as nylon threads, extending parallel to a main direction of the sleeve.

Ces éléments de rigidification peuvent se présenter sous forme de fils de nylon ayant un diamètre de l'ordre du demi millimètre, s'étendant parallèlement à la direction principale du manchon en étant solidarisés et/ou intégrés à l'étoffe dans laquelle ce manchon est fabriqué.These stiffening elements may be in the form of nylon threads having a diameter of the order of half a millimeter, extending parallel to the main direction of the sleeve being secured and / or integrated with the fabric in which the sleeve is made.

L'invention concerne également une chaussette telle que définie ci-dessus, dans laquelle le manchon est formé par au moins deux épaisseurs d'étoffe solidarisées l'une à l'autre par au moins une couture.The invention also relates to a sock as defined above, wherein the sleeve is formed by at least two layers of fabric secured to one another by at least one seam.

La ou les coutures augmentent fortement la rigidité du manchon en interdisant un mouvement relatif de glissement d'une épaisseur d'étoffe sur l'autre. Les deux épaisseurs d'étoffe solidarisées l'une à l'autre ont ainsi une rigidité très supérieure à celle de deux étoffes superposées et libres de glisser l'une sur l'autre.The seam or seams greatly increase the rigidity of the sleeve by prohibiting a relative sliding movement of a fabric thickness on the other. The two thicknesses of fabric secured to one another and thus have a rigidity much greater than that of two superposed fabrics and free to slide on one another.

L'invention concerne également une chaussette telle que définie ci-dessus, dans laquelle le manchon comprend un premier demi-manchon prolongeant le pied, et un second demi-manchon prolongeant le premier demi-manchon, le second demi-manchon étant destiné à être rabattu sur le premier demi-manchon, et dans laquelle les demi-manchons sont pourvus de motifs formant des creux et des reliefs complémentaires venant s'emboîter les uns dans les autres lorsque le second demi-manchon est rabattu sur le premier demi-manchon.The invention also relates to a sock as defined above, in which the sleeve comprises a first half-sleeve extending the foot, and a second half-sleeve extending the first half-sleeve, the second half-sleeve being intended to be folded on the first half-sleeve, and in which the half-sleeves are provided with patterns forming hollows and reliefs complementary fitting into each other when the second half-sleeve is folded over the first half-sleeve.

La chaussette peut ainsi être réalisée de façon analogue à une chaussette classique en prévoyant uniquement des motifs complémentaires aptes à s'emboîter les uns dans les autres pour empêcher un glissement d'un demi-manchon sur l'autre.The sock can thus be made analogous to a conventional sock by providing only complementary patterns able to fit into each other to prevent slippage of one half-sleeve on the other.

L'invention concerne également une chaussette telle que définie ci-dessus, dans laquelle les creux et reliefs complémentaires sont formés par des côtes situées au niveau du premier demi-manchon et au niveau du second demi-manchon.The invention also relates to a sock as defined above, wherein the complementary hollows and reliefs are formed by ribs located at the first half-sleeve and at the second half-sleeve.

L'invention concerne également une chaussette telle que définie ci-dessus, dans laquelle le premier et le second demi-manchon comprennent chacun plusieurs côtes parallèles les unes aux autres et s'étendant de façon hélicoïdale.The invention also relates to a sock as defined above, wherein the first and second half-sleeves each comprise a plurality of ribs parallel to each other and extending helically.

L'invention concerne également une chaussette telle que définie ci-dessus, dans laquelle le premier et le second demi-manchon comprennent chacun au moins une côte définissant un motif en zig zag.The invention also relates to a sock as defined above, wherein the first and second half-sleeves each comprise at least one rib defining a zigzag pattern.

L'invention concerne également une chaussette telle que définie ci-dessus, dans laquelle le premier demi-manchon et le second demi-manchon comprennent chacun plusieurs côtes rectilignes parallèles orientées selon une direction principale du manchon en étant espacées les unes des autres d'un même pas, et dans lequel les côtes du deuxième demi-manchon sont décalées d'un demi pas par rapport aux côtes du premier demi-manchon.The invention also relates to a sock as defined above, in which the first half-sleeve and the second half-sleeve each comprise a plurality of parallel rectilinear ribs oriented in a main direction of the sleeve and spaced from one another not even, and in which the ribs of the second half-sleeve are offset by half a step from the ribs of the first half-sleeve.

L'invention concerne également une chaussette telle que définie ci-dessus, dans laquelle le manchon est réalisé en laine tricotée.The invention also relates to a sock as defined above, wherein the sleeve is made of knitted wool.

L'invention sera maintenant décrite plus en détail, et en référence aux dessins annexés qui en illustrent une forme de réalisation à titre d'exemple non limitatif.

The invention will now be described in more detail and with reference to the accompanying drawings which illustrate an embodiment thereof by way of non-limiting example.
  • The figure 1 is a perspective view of the sock according to the invention worn by a person before folding the second half-sleeve on the first;
  • The figure 2 shows the sock according to the invention shown symbolically flat before folding the second half-sleeve on the first;

  • The figure 6 is a sectional view of the two half-sleeves of the sock according to the invention folded over one another.

Dans la figure 1, une chaussette 1 selon l'invention est portée par une jambe 2 d'une personne. Cette chaussette comprend principalement un pied 3 qui entoure le pied de la personne, et un manchon 4, encore appelé tige, qui entoure une partie inférieure de la jambe 2 en s'étendant depuis la cheville 6 jusqu'à une zone médiane du mollet 7.In the figure 1 , a sock 1 according to the invention is worn by a leg 2 of a person. This sock mainly comprises a foot 3 which surrounds the foot of the person, and a sleeve 4, also called rod, which surrounds a lower part of the leg 2 extending from the ankle 6 to a median zone of the calf 7 .

Le pied 3 de la chaussette correspond à une zone s'étendant depuis une partie avant repérée par 8 et correspondant à un renfort d'orteils, jusqu'à une partie arrière, repérée par 9, et correspondant à un renfort de talon.The foot 3 of the sock corresponds to a zone extending from a front part marked by 8 and corresponding to a toe reinforcement, to a rear part, marked by 9, and corresponding to a heel reinforcement.

Ce pied 3 comprend ici une partie inférieure ou semelle 5 et une partie supérieure appelée cou de pied 10 assemblées l'une à l'autre et avec le renfort d'orteils 8, et avec le renfort de talon 9.This foot 3 here comprises a lower part or sole 5 and an upper part called instep 10 assembled to one another and with the toe reinforcement 8, and with the heel reinforcement 9.

Le manchon 4 qui s'étend selon un axe AX comprend un premier demi-manchon 11 prolongeant le pied 3 et un second demi-manchon 12 prolongeant le premier demi-manchon 11.The sleeve 4 which extends along an axis AX comprises a first half-sleeve 11 extending the foot 3 and a second half-sleeve 12 extending the first half-sleeve 11.

Chaque demi-manchon est ici réalisé par tricotage et comprend des côtes, repérées respectivement par 13 pour le premier demi-manchon, et par 14 pour le second demi-manchon. Ces côtes 13 et 14 sont rectilignes et parallèles les unes aux autres en s'étendant selon la direction AX du manchon 4. Ces côtes 13, 14 sont espacées les unes des autres d'un pas constant noté P qui est le même pour les côtes 13 du premier demi-manchon 11 et pour les côtes 14 du second demi-manchon 12.Each half-sleeve is here made by knitting and comprises ribs, marked respectively by 13 for the first half-sleeve, and by 14 for the second half-sleeve. These ribs 13 and 14 are rectilinear and parallel to each other by extending in the direction AX of the sleeve 4. These ribs 13, 14 are spaced from each other with a constant pitch noted P which is the same for the ribs 13 of the first half-sleeve 11 and for the ribs 14 of the second half-sleeve 12.

Ces côtes 13, 14 visibles en coupe transversale par rapport à l'axe AX, dans la figure 3, comprennent chacune une première et une seconde partie 16 et 17. Chaque partie 16, 17 constitue une portion creuse ou en relief, selon qu'elle est vue depuis une face ou depuis la face opposée.These ribs 13, 14 visible in cross-section with respect to the axis AX, in the figure 3 , each comprise a first and a second portion 16 and 17. Each portion 16, 17 is a hollow portion or in relief, depending on whether it is viewed from a face or from the opposite face.

Ainsi, la première et la deuxième partie 16 et 17 constituent respectivement une portion creuse et une portion en relief lorsque vues depuis une face interne du manchon, mais elles définissent respectivement une portion en relief et une portion creuse lorsque vues depuis une face externe du manchon.Thus, the first and second portions 16 and 17 respectively constitute a hollow portion and a raised portion when seen from an inner face of the sleeve, but they respectively define a raised portion and a hollow portion when viewed from an outer face of the sleeve .

Dans les figures, les portions creuses , sont représentées par des bandes noires 18, et les portion en relief sont représentées par des bandes blanches 19.In the figures, the hollow portions are represented by black strips 18, and the raised portions are represented by white strips 19.

Comme visible notamment dans la figure 2, les côtes 14 du second demi-manchon 12 sont décalées d'un demi-pas P/2 par rapport aux côtes 13 du premier demi-manchon 11.As visible especially in the figure 2 the ribs 14 of the second half-sleeve 12 are offset by a half-pitch P / 2 with respect to the ribs 13 of the first half-sleeve 11.

Lorsque les deux demi-manchons sont dépliés, comme dans les figures 1 et 2, chaque portion en relief 19 du premier demi-manchon 11 est prolongée, au niveau du second demi-manchon 12 par une portion creuse 18 correspondante. Réciproquement, chaque portion en relief 19 du second demi-manchon se prolonge au niveau du premier demi-manchon par une portion creuse correspondante 18.When the two half-sleeves are unfolded, as in the Figures 1 and 2 each raised portion 19 of the first half-sleeve 11 is extended at the second half-sleeve 12 by a corresponding hollow portion 18. Conversely, each raised portion 19 of the second half-sleeve is extended at the first half-sleeve by a corresponding hollow portion 18.

Les côtes 13 et 14 du premier et du second demi-manchon constituent ainsi des reliefs complémentaires qui s'emboîtent les uns dans les autres lorsque le second demi-manchon 12 est rabattu sur le premier demi-manchon 11, pour l'entourer, comme c'est le cas dans les figures 4 à 6.The ribs 13 and 14 of the first and second half-sleeves thus constitute complementary reliefs which fit into each other when the second half-sleeve 12 is folded over the first half-sleeve 11, to surround it, as this is the case in Figures 4 to 6 .

Comme visible dans ces figures 4 à 6, lorsque le second demi-manchon est rabattu sur le premier, les reliefs complémentaires que constituent les côtes s'engagent les uns dans les autres pour former un assemblage du type tenon-mortaise, comme visible dans la vue en coupe de la figure 6.As visible in these Figures 4 to 6 when the second half-sleeve is folded over the first, the complementary reliefs that constitute the ribs engage into each other to form a tenon-mortise type assembly, as visible in the sectional view of the figure 6 .

Il convient de noter que les portions creuses 18 du second demi-manchon 12 dans la figure 2 sont des portions en relief 19 dans la figure 5, car la face du second demi-manchon 12 qui est visible en figure 5 est la face opposée à celle qui est visible en figure 2, du fait que ce demi-manchon est rabattu dans la figure 5 alors qu'il est déplié en figure 2.It should be noted that the hollow portions 18 of the second half-sleeve 12 in the figure 2 are relief portions 19 in the figure 5 because the face of the second half-sleeve 12 which is visible in figure 5 is the opposite face to that visible in figure 2 , because this half-sleeve is folded in the figure 5 while unfolded in figure 2 .

Ainsi, grâce au décalage d'un demi-pas des côtes 13 par rapport aux côtes 14, lorsque le second demi-manchon 12 est rabattu, les parties en relief et les parties creuses du second demi-manchon 12 sont superposées aux parties en relief et aux parties creuses du premier demi-manchon 11, comme visible sur les figures 4 et 5.Thus, thanks to the shift of one half-step of the ribs 13 with respect to the ribs 14, when the second half-sleeve 12 is folded down, the raised portions and the hollow portions of the second half-sleeve 12 are superimposed on the raised parts. and the hollow portions of the first half-sleeve 11, as visible on the Figures 4 and 5 .

Cet emboîtement de creux et de reliefs complémentaires assure une cohésion simple et efficace des deux demi-manchons. Ces deux demi-manchons constituent ainsi un unique manchon 4 formé de deux épaisseurs solidarisées l'une à l'autre par emboîtement, ce qui forme un manchon ayant une rigidité élevée.This interlocking of recesses and complementary reliefs ensures a simple and effective cohesion of the two half-sleeves. These two half-sleeves thus constitute a single sleeve 4 formed of two thicknesses secured to one another by interlocking, which forms a sleeve having a high rigidity.

Cette rigidité permet au manchon de se maintenir seul autour de la cheville et du mollet, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de prévoir de moyens élastique en vue de son maintien en position.This rigidity allows the sleeve to remain alone around the ankle and calf, without the need to provide elastic means to maintain its position.

Le maintien du manchon en position autour de la cheville et du mollet est assuré par sa rigidité grâce à laquelle il conserve spontanément une forme générale cylindrique dépourvue de plissage. Cette rigidité évite ainsi le plissage du manchon, de sorte qu'il ne descend pas le long du mollet et/ou de la cheville.Maintaining the sleeve in position around the ankle and calf is ensured by its rigidity thanks to which it spontaneously retains a cylindrical general shape devoid of pleating. This rigidity thus prevents the pleating of the sleeve, so that it does not descend along the calf and / or the ankle.

Dans l'exemple des figures, le second demi-manchon 12 a une longueur, le long de l'axe AX qui vaut sensiblement les deux tiers de la longueur du premier demi-manchon 11. L'utilisation de cette chaussette consiste d'abord à l'enfiler comme illustré sur la figure 1, puis à rabattre le second demi-manchon 12 sur le premier demi-manchon 11. Ainsi, le manchon obtenu 4 a son bord supérieur qui est délimité par la jonction des deux demi-manchons 11 et 12.In the example of the figures, the second half-sleeve 12 has a length, along the axis AX which is substantially two-thirds of the length of the first half-sleeve 11. The use of this sock consists first to put on as shown on the figure 1 and then folding the second half-sleeve 12 on the first half-sleeve 11. Thus, the resulting sleeve 4 has its upper edge which is defined by the junction of the two half-sleeves 11 and 12.

Dans l'exemple des figures, les creux et reliefs complémentaires des deux demi-manchons 11 et 12 sont formés par des côtes 13, 14 s'étendant selon la direction principale AX, mais ces côtes peuvent aussi être inclinées, c'est-à-dire s'étendre de façon hélicoïdale sur chaque demi-manchon. Dans ce cas, le sens d'enroulement hélicoïdal des côtes du premier demi-manchon est opposé au sens d'enroulement hélicoïdal des côtes du second demi-manchon de façon à définir des creux et reliefs complémentaires aptes à s'emboîter les uns dans les autres.In the example of the figures, the complementary hollows and reliefs of the two half-sleeves 11 and 12 are formed by ribs 13, 14 extending along the main direction AX, but these ribs can also be inclined, that is to say ie to extend helically on each half-sleeve. In this case, the helical winding direction of the ribs of the first half-sleeve is opposite to the helical winding direction of the ribs of the second half-sleeve so as to define complementary hollows and reliefs capable of fitting into each other. other.

Les creux et reliefs complémentaires qui sont des côtes rectilignes dans l'exemple des figures peuvent également se présenter sous forme de motifs en zig zag, ou tout autre dessin, pour autant qu'ils définissent des reliefs qui sont complémentaires entre le premier et le second demi-manchon, de façon à pouvoir s'emboîter les uns dans les autres pour assurer une cohésion simple et efficace du premier et du second demi-manchon.The complementary hollows and reliefs which are rectilinear ribs in the example of the figures may also be in the form of zigzag patterns, or any other design, provided that they define reliefs which are complementary between the first and the second half-sleeve, so as to fit into each other to ensure a simple and effective cohesion of the first and second half-sleeve.

Le manchon de la chaussette selon l'invention peut aussi être réalisé à partir de deux épaisseurs d'étoffe solidarisées l'une à l'autre par une ou plusieurs coutumes. Mais ce manchon peut encore être fabriqué à partir d'une ou plusieurs épaisseurs d'étoffe renforcées par un ou plusieurs éléments de rigidification comme par exemple des fils de nylon ayant un diamètre relativement important et s'étendant selon la direction AX.The sleeve of the sock according to the invention can also be made from two thicknesses of fabric secured to one another by one or more customs. But this sleeve can still be made from one or more thicknesses of reinforced fabric by one or more stiffening elements such as nylon threads having a relatively large diameter and extending in the direction AX.

La chaussette selon l'invention permet ainsi de diminuer l'effet de fatigue ainsi que notamment le risque d'apparition de varices.The sock according to the invention thus makes it possible to reduce the effect of fatigue as well as in particular the risk of varicose veins.

Cette conception de chaussette assure une sensation de liberté, de bien être et de légèreté.This sock design ensures a feeling of freedom, well being and lightness.
