Description

この発明は、靴下に関し、詳しくは、つま先部分に５本の足指を各別に挿入できるようにした５本指靴下に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a sock, and more particularly to a five-finger sock that allows five toes to be individually inserted into the toe portion.

従来、つま先部分に５本の足指を各別に挿入できるようにした５本指靴下が一般に知られている。この種の５本指靴下として、特許文献１には、つま先部分とつま先部分を除く本体部分とを別個に編成し、両者を一体に縫合してなる５本指靴下が開示されている。ここで、つま先部分は横編み機を使用して平編みにて編成し、本体部分は丸編み機を使用して筒状に編成することが記載されている。
特開２００２−２０１５０１号公報（段落番号０００５、図１） Conventionally, a five-finger socks that can insert five toes into a toe portion are generally known. As this type of five-finger socks, Patent Document 1 discloses a five-finger socks obtained by separately knitting a toe part and a main body part excluding the toe part and stitching them together. Here, it is described that the toe portion is knitted by flat knitting using a flat knitting machine, and the main body portion is knitted into a cylindrical shape using a circular knitting machine.
JP 2002-201501 (paragraph number 0005, FIG. 1)

特許文献１に開示された５本指靴下においては、本体部分が丸編み機を使用して筒状に編成されているため、足へのフィット性の向上が期待できる。しかしながら、つま先部分が平編みであって、足指を含むつま先が挿入される内面には平編みの裏目組織が横筋状に並んで現れているため、足指の挿入に抵抗があって履きにくい。 In the five-finger socks disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the main body portion is knitted into a cylindrical shape using a circular knitting machine, an improvement in fit to the foot can be expected. However, since the toe portion is flat knitted, and the back knitted tissue of the flat knitting appears side by side on the inner surface where the toes including the toes are inserted, there is resistance to insertion of the toes and it is difficult to wear them .

また、平編みの裏目組織は表目組織に較べて糸量が少なく粗いため、つま先への感触が悪い。しかも、足指が挿入される袋状部の湾曲部を絞り込んで形成する裏目組織の裏糸が袋状部の内面側にあるため、一般に袋状部の足指へのフィット感が悪く、糸量の少ない裏目組織と相俟って足指への感触が一層悪くなる。 In addition, since the back stitch structure of flat knitting has a smaller amount of yarn and is coarser than the face structure, the feel to the toes is poor. Moreover, since the back thread of the back tissue formed by squeezing the curved part of the bag-like part into which the toes are inserted is on the inner surface side of the bag-like part, the fit feeling of the bag-like part to the toes is generally poor, and the thread Combined with a small amount of back tissue, the toe feels worse.

さらに、特許文献１に開示された５本指靴下においては、つま先部分の外面に平編みの表目組織が縦筋状に並んで現れているため、靴を履いた場合、靴内でつま先部分が滑り易いという問題もある。 Furthermore, in the five-finger socks disclosed in Patent Document 1, since a flat knitted surface structure appears in a vertical stripe on the outer surface of the toe portion, when the shoe is worn, the toe portion in the shoe There is also a problem that is slippery.

そこで、この発明は、足指の挿入がし易くてつま先への感触も良く、しかも、つま先部分が滑り難い５本指靴下を提供することを課題とする。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a five-finger sock that allows easy insertion of toes, a good feel on the toes, and a toe portion that is difficult to slip.

この発明に係る５本指靴下は、つま先部分とつま先部分を除く本体部分とが別個に編成され、両者が一体に縫合されてなる５本指靴下であって、前記つま先部分は平編みで編成されており、その平編みの横筋状に並ぶ裏目組織が外面に現れていることを特徴とする。 The five-finger socks according to the present invention are five-finger socks in which a toe part and a main body part excluding the toe part are knitted separately and are sewn together, and the toe part is knitted by flat knitting. It is characterized by the fact that the back stitch structure arranged in the shape of horizontal stripes of the flat knitting appears on the outer surface.

この発明に係る５本指靴下では、足指を含むつま先が挿入されるつま先部分の内面に平編みの表目組織が縦筋状に並んで現れているため、足指の挿入がし易くなる。また、つま先部分の内面側の表目組織は、裏目組織に較べて糸量が多く緻密であるため、足指を含むつま先への感触も良くなる。 In the five-finger socks according to the present invention, since the flat knitted surface tissue appears in the form of vertical stripes on the inner surface of the toe portion into which the toes including the toes are inserted, it becomes easy to insert the toes. . Further, since the surface texture on the inner surface side of the toe portion has a larger amount of yarn and is denser than the back surface texture, the feel to the toes including the toes is improved.

しかも、足指が挿入される袋状部の湾曲部を絞り込んで形成する裏目組織の裏糸が裏目組織と共につま先部分の外面側に裏返されているため、袋状部の内面の糸量の多い表目組織が足指に良くフィットするようになり、足指への感触が一層良くなる。 Moreover, since the back yarn of the back tissue formed by narrowing the curved portion of the bag-like portion into which the toes are inserted is turned over to the outer surface side of the toe portion together with the back tissue, the amount of yarn on the inner surface of the bag-like portion is large. The surface texture fits well with the toes, and the touch to the toes is further improved.

そして、つま先部分の外面には平編みの裏目組織が横筋状に並んで現れているため、この５本指靴下を着用して靴を履いた場合でもつま先部分が靴内で滑り難くなる。 Further, since the flat knitted back-tissues appear in a horizontal stripe on the outer surface of the toe portion, the toe portion is difficult to slip in the shoe when the five-finger socks are worn and the shoes are worn.

この発明に係る５本指靴下において、つま先部分に対する本体部分の縫合部がゴム編で編成されていると、つま先部分の履きずれが減少するため、良好な履き心地が得られる。 In the five-finger socks according to the present invention, when the stitched portion of the main body portion with respect to the toe portion is knitted with a rubber knitting, the slippage of the toe portion is reduced, so that a good comfort can be obtained.

また、つま先部分が薄手に編成されていると、つま先部分が嵩張らないため、靴を履いた場合にも良好な履き心地が得られると共に、足指の通気性が良くなる。 Further, when the toe portion is thinly knitted, the toe portion is not bulky, so that a good comfort can be obtained even when a shoe is worn, and the toe permeability is improved.

一方、本体部分が厚手に編成されていると保温性および耐久性が向上し、本体部分が丸編で編成されていると足へのフィット性が向上する。この本体部分は、編成方法およびデザインに自由度があるため、パイル編みとしたり各種の色柄とすることができる。 On the other hand, when the main body portion is knitted thick, heat retention and durability are improved, and when the main body portion is knitted with a circular knitting, the fit to the foot is improved. Since the main body portion has a degree of freedom in the knitting method and design, it can be pile knitted or various color patterns.

本発明に係る５本指靴下によれば、足指を含むつま先が挿入されるつま先部分の内面に平編みの表目組織が縦筋状に並んで現れているため、足指の挿入がし易くなる。また、つま先部分の内面側となる表目組織は、裏目組織に較べて糸量が多く緻密であるため、足指を含むつま先への感触も良くなる。 According to the five-finger socks according to the present invention, since the flat knitted surface tissue appears along the vertical stripes on the inner surface of the toe portion into which the toes including the toes are inserted, the toes are inserted. It becomes easy. In addition, since the surface texture on the inner surface side of the toe portion is denser and denser than the back texture, the feel to the toes including the toes is improved.

以下、図面を参照してこの発明に係る５本指靴下の実施の形態を説明する。参照する図面において、図１は一実施形態に係る５本指靴下の全体斜視図、図２は図１に示した５本指靴下の分解背面図である。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of a five-finger socks according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings to be referred to, FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a five-finger socks according to an embodiment, and FIG. 2 is an exploded rear view of the five-finger socks shown in FIG.

図１に示すように、一実施形態に係る５本指靴下は、５本の足指が個別に挿入される５つの袋状部１Ａ〜１Ｅが編成されたつま先部分１と、つま先部分１に連続する略筒状に編成されて履口部２Ａおよび踵部２Ｂを有する本体部分２とで構成されている。 As shown in FIG. 1, a five-finger sock according to an embodiment includes a toe part 1 knitted with five bag-like parts 1 A to 1 E into which five toes are individually inserted, and a toe part 1. It is composed of a main body portion 2 knitted into a continuous substantially cylindrical shape and having a cuff portion 2A and a heel portion 2B.

この５本指靴下は、図２に示すように、つま先部分１と本体部分２とがそれぞれ別個に編成される。すなわち、つま先部分１は、従来周知の横編機を使用した平編みにより、５つの袋状部１Ａ〜１Ｅおよび縫合用の開口部１Ｆを有する形状に編成される。なお、つま先部分１は、厚手に編成されていると足指部分の保温性が得られるが、薄手に編成されていると足指部分の通気性が得られると共に、嵩張らないため、靴を履いた場合にも良好な履き心地が得られる。 In the five-finger socks, as shown in FIG. 2, the toe portion 1 and the main body portion 2 are separately knitted. That is, the toe portion 1 is knitted into a shape having five bag-like portions 1A to 1E and a stitching opening 1F by flat knitting using a conventionally known flat knitting machine. When the toe portion 1 is thickly knitted, heat retention of the toe portion is obtained, but when thinly knitted, the toe portion is breathable and is not bulky, so shoes are worn. Good comfort can be obtained even when

一方、本体部分２は、従来周知の丸編機を使用した横編みにより、履口部２Ａ、踵部２Ｂおよび縫合用の開口部２Ｃを有する略筒状の形状に編成される。履口部２Ａは、ふくらはぎにフィットするようにゴム編みとされると共に、適宜の弾性糸（ゴム糸）が伸張状態で編み込まれている。 On the other hand, the main body portion 2 is knitted into a substantially cylindrical shape having a cuff portion 2A, a heel portion 2B, and an opening portion 2C for stitching by flat knitting using a conventionally known circular knitting machine. The mouth portion 2A is knitted with rubber so as to fit the calf, and an appropriate elastic yarn (rubber yarn) is knitted in a stretched state.

また、本体部分２の開口部２Ｃ付近は、つま先部分１の履きずれを減少させるため、ゴム編みとされている。なお、本体部分２は、保温性が得られるようにパイル編みによって厚手に編成してもよいし、通気性が得られるようにメッシュ編みとしてもよい。 Further, the vicinity of the opening 2C of the main body portion 2 is rubber knitted in order to reduce the slippage of the toe portion 1. The main body portion 2 may be thickly knitted by pile knitting so as to obtain heat retention, or may be mesh knitted so as to obtain air permeability.

ここで、図３および図４により平編みの編目組織を説明し、図５および図６によりつま先部分１の袋状部１Ａ〜１Ｅの編成について説明すると、図３に示す表目組織Ｗは、給糸方向であるコース方向と直交するウェール方向に沿って太線で表すように縦筋状に並んでいる。また、図４に示す裏目組織Ｃは、コース方向に沿って太線で表すように横筋状に並んでいる。ここで、図３に太線で表した表目組織Ｗと、図４に太線で表した裏目組織Ｃとを比較してみると、表目組織Ｗは裏目組織Ｃに較べて糸量が多く緻密であることが解かる。 Here, when explaining the knitting structure of the plain knitting with FIGS. 3 and 4 and knitting the bag-like portions 1A to 1E of the toe portion 1 with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, the surface structure W shown in FIG. The yarns are arranged in a vertical stripe shape as indicated by a thick line along the wale direction perpendicular to the course direction, which is the yarn feeding direction. Further, the back tissue C shown in FIG. 4 is arranged in a horizontal streak shape as indicated by a thick line along the course direction. Here, when comparing the surface texture W represented by the thick line in FIG. 3 and the back texture C represented by the thick line in FIG. 4, the surface texture W has a larger yarn amount than the back texture C and is dense. It turns out that it is.

一方、図５は袋状部１Ａ〜１Ｅのうちの任意の袋状部の先端の湾曲部をウェール方向に展開して示すウェール方向展開図であり、図６は袋状部の先端の湾曲部をコース方向に展開して示すコース方向展開図である。図５および図６に示すように、袋状部の先端の湾曲部は、先端側の編み目数を順次減少させると共に、ウェール方向に延びる裏糸Ｗ１（図５参照）およびコース方向に延びる裏糸Ｃ１（図６参照）を絞り込んで形成される。 On the other hand, FIG. 5 is a development view in the wale direction in which a curved portion at the tip of any bag-like portion of the bag-like portions 1A to 1E is developed in the wale direction, and FIG. 6 is a curved portion at the tip of the bag-like portion. It is a course direction expansion | deployment figure which expand | deploys and shows in a course direction. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the curved portion at the tip of the bag-like portion sequentially reduces the number of stitches on the tip side, back yarn W 1 (see FIG. 5) extending in the wale direction, and back yarn extending in the course direction. It is formed by narrowing down C1 (see FIG. 6).

このように平編みにより編成された袋状部１Ａ〜１Ｅを有するつま先部分１は、横筋状に並ぶ裏目組織Ｃと共に裏糸Ｗ１および裏糸Ｃ１が外面に現れるように裏返しにされる。一方、本体部分２は、つま先部分１と同様に裏返しにしてもよいが、通常、縦筋状に並ぶ表目組織Ｗが外面に現れるようにそのままの状態とされる。 The toe portion 1 having the bag-like portions 1A to 1E knitted by flat knitting in this way is turned over so that the back yarn W1 and the back yarn C1 appear on the outer surface together with the back stitch structure C arranged in a horizontal streak shape. On the other hand, the main body portion 2 may be turned upside down like the toe portion 1 but is usually left as it is so that the surface tissue W arranged in a vertical stripe shape appears on the outer surface.

即ち、図７（ａ）に示すように、編成されたままの状態であれば、点線で示す裏目Ｃよりも実線で示す表目Ｗの方が膨らんだ状態となっており、編成後にプレスして仕上げた状態では一層角張った状態となる。袋状部を編み上げるときは、湾曲面の下端の部分では表目を絞りきれず角張った状態になるのを防止できなかった。 That is, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), in the state where it is knitted, the surface W indicated by the solid line is swelled rather than the back eye C indicated by the dotted line, and is pressed after knitting. When finished, it becomes more angular. When weaving the bag-shaped part, it was not possible to prevent the surface from being squeezed at the lower end portion of the curved surface and becoming angular.

編成後に裏返しすることによって、表目組織を絞り込むように引っ張っている裏糸が表側に表れ、裏糸は表目組織を包み込むことになるので、図７（ｂ）に示すように、角張っていた部分が内側に入り、つま先部分は湾曲面となる。従って、足指を入れたときには、指にぴったりフィットすることになる。 By turning over after knitting, the back yarn pulled so as to narrow the surface texture appears on the front side, and the back yarn wraps around the surface texture, so that it was square as shown in FIG. The part goes inside and the toe part becomes a curved surface. Therefore, when the toes are put in, the finger fits perfectly.

裏返しにされたつま先部分１の開口部１Ｆ（図２参照）は、本体部分２の開口部２Ｃ（図２参照）に縫合される。この縫合は、例えばリンキング方式により、本体部分２の開口部２Ｃを構成する編み目の各ループと、つま先部分１の開口部１Ｆを構成する編み目の各ループとを一対一でかがって縫合する。なお、この縫合方式は、編み目より細かく縫合するオーバーロック方式や、オーバーロック方式より更に細かく縫合するロッソ方式としてもよい。 The opening 1F (see FIG. 2) of the toe portion 1 turned upside down is stitched to the opening 2C (see FIG. 2) of the main body portion 2. This stitching is performed by, for example, linking each loop of the stitches constituting the opening 2C of the main body portion 2 and each loop of the stitches constituting the opening 1F of the toe portion 1 in a one-to-one manner. This stitching method may be an overlock method in which stitching is performed more finely than the stitch, or a Rosso method in which stitching is performed more finely than the overlock method.

以上のように構成された一実施形態の５本指靴下では、足指を含むつま先が挿入されるつま先部分１の内面に平編みの表目組織Ｗ（図３参照）が縦筋状に並んで現れているため、この５本指靴下を着用する際、足指の挿入がし易くなる。また、つま先部分１の内面側の表目組織Ｗは、裏目組織Ｃに較べて糸量が多く緻密であるため、足指を含むつま先への感触も良くなる。 In the five-finger socks according to the embodiment configured as described above, the flat knitted surface texture W (see FIG. 3) is arranged in a vertical line on the inner surface of the toe portion 1 into which the toes including the toes are inserted. Therefore, when wearing this five-finger socks, it becomes easy to insert the toes. Moreover, since the surface texture W on the inner surface side of the toe portion 1 is denser and denser than the back texture C, it feels better on the toes including the toes.

しかも、足指が挿入される袋状部１Ａ〜１Ｅの湾曲部を絞り込んで形成する裏目組織Ｃ側の裏糸Ｗ１および裏糸Ｃ１が裏目組織Ｃと共につま先部分１の外面側に裏返されているため、袋状部１Ａ〜１Ｅの内面の糸量の多い表目組織Ｗが足指に良くフィットするようになり、足指への感触が一層良くなる。 Moreover, the back yarn W1 and the back yarn C1 on the back tissue C side formed by narrowing the curved portions of the bag-like portions 1A to 1E into which the toes are inserted are turned over to the outer surface side of the toe portion 1 together with the back tissue C. Therefore, the surface texture W having a large yarn amount on the inner surfaces of the bag-like portions 1A to 1E comes to fit well with the toes, and the touch to the toes is further improved.

そして、つま先部分１の外面には平編みの裏目組織Ｃが横筋状に並んで現れているため、この５本指靴下を着用して靴を履いた場合でもつま先部分１が靴内で滑り難くなる。 Further, since the flat knitted back tissue C appears on the outer surface of the toe portion 1 in a horizontal stripe shape, the toe portion 1 is difficult to slip in the shoe when the five-finger socks are worn and the shoes are worn. Become.

また、つま先部分１に対する本体部分２の縫合部、すなわち開口部２Ｃ付近がゴム編で編成されているため、つま先部分１の履きずれが減少し、良好な履き心地が得られる。 In addition, since the stitched portion of the main body portion 2 with respect to the toe portion 1, that is, the vicinity of the opening 2C is knitted with a rubber knitting, the slippage of the toe portion 1 is reduced, and good comfort is obtained.

この発明に係る５本指靴下は、前述した一実施形態に限定されるものではなく、例えば図１に示した本体部分２は、つま先部分１と別個に編成されるため、デザインに自由度があり、材質を変更したり、適宜のデザイン編みや色柄とすることが可能である。また、一実施形態では、踵付の靴下について説明したが、踵無しの靴下であってもよいのは勿論である。 The five-finger socks according to the present invention are not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the main body portion 2 shown in FIG. Yes, it is possible to change the material, or to make an appropriate design knitting or color pattern. Moreover, in one embodiment, although the sock with a heel was demonstrated, it is needless to say that the sock without a heel may be sufficient.
