Definitions
- This invention relates to foot protection and more specifically to a disposable hygienic sock for protecting feet.
- a disposable sock comprises a first lower layer made of a solid material and a second upper layer made of a mesh or otherwise perforated material.
- the first lower layer covers the bottom and lower portion of a person's foot and the upper layer is attached to the lower layer to allow the flow of water and air.
- the disposable sock also comprises a packaged gel or liquid, or unpackaged powder lining, inside of the surface of the first lower layer containing anti-bacterial, fungicidal and/or other protective compounds or emollients to allow the user to apply to their feet before, during or after the use of the sock.
- the second layer is formed of a solid portion around the toe area of the user and a mesh or otherwise perforated area in the remaining portion.
- a third layer including a heat sensing device is applied to the top portion of the second layer near the toe area.
- the heat sensing device indicates the approximate or relative temperature of the water, in a shower, before the user moves completely under the direct contact of water.
- the present invention provides for a disposable hygienic sock having an upper mesh layer, a lower solid layer, coupled to the upper mesh layer, and a plurality of friction surfaces, disposed on the bottom of the lower layer.
- the upper mesh layer allows the free flow of water into and out of the sock and the friction surfaces are configured to prevent a wearer from slipping on slick or wet surfaces.

- Fig. 2 illustrates a bottom view of the disposable hygienic sock illustrated in Fig. 1 in accordance with another embodiment of the invention
- Fig. 3 illustrates a side view of the disposable hygienic sock in accordance with another embodiment of the invention
- Fig. 4 illustrates a bottom view of the disposable hygienic sock illustrated in Fig. 3 in accordance with another embodiment of the invention
- Fig. 5 illustrates a side view of the disposable hygienic sock in accordance with another embodiment of the invention
- Fig. 6 illustrates a bottom view of the disposable hygienic sock illustrated in Fig. 5 in accordance with another embodiment of the invention
- Fig. 7 illustrates another side view of the disposable socks illustrated in Fig. 1 in accordance with yet another embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 8 illustrates a back view of the disposable socks in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 1 illustrates a disposable sock 10 in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
- Disposable sock 10 includes a first lower layer 12 formed a solid material.
- this solid material is made of latex or non-latex (hypoallergenic) material, although the invention is not limited in scope in that respect.
- other materials such as plastics or neoprene, may also be employed.
- Sock 10 also includes an upper layer 14 made of a mesh or otherwise perforated material. Upper layer 14 extends along the lower layer 12 and is configured to cover the upper portion of the user's foot.
- the mesh or perforated material in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, is made of fabric, however, the invention is not limited in scope in that respect.
- the mesh or perforated material may be made of a plastic material such as latex, or other similar materials such as polyurethane, neoprene, or non-latex material.
- the back portion of sock 10 includes a solid portion 16 that may extend upwardly toward the area of the ball of the user' s ankle. Solid portion 16, which may be made of an elastic material, may stretch to provide a tighter fit on the user's foot. The shape and fit of sock 10 would be similar to a cotton athletic sock, so as to allow the user to put it on and take it off easily.
- Fig. 2 illustrates the bottom portion 20 of sock 10.
- bottom portion 20 includes friction surfaces 22, which exhibit higher friction than that exhibited by the remainder surface of bottom portion 20.
- Friction surfaces 22 are disposed to increase traction and to reduce the risk of slipping when sock 10 is worn by a user.
- friction surfaces 22 may be strategically located near the metatarsal region 26 of the foot and the ball region 28 of the foot.
- a disposable hygienic sock 100 is shown, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
- Disposable hygienic sock 100 includes a first main layer 102 constructed of a permeable or semi- permeable material such as cotton, linen, woven or non-woven fabrics, plastic mesh or other similar material.
- First main layer 102 can be constructed of any material suitable for low cost or disposable construction.
- first main layer 102 is discussed herein as being formed of a cotton fabric.
- a permeable or semi-permeable material allows the foot to breathe in other prolonged situations.
- An elastic ring 104 or other such tightening means is provided around an upper opening in first main layer 104 to allow for user's foot to enter disposable hygienic sock 100 while simultaneously preventing sock 100 from falling off.
- Disposable hygienic sock 100 further maintains a lower non-slip layer 106, formed a semi-permeable or non-permeable material.
- this solid material is made of latex or non-latex (hypoallergenic) material, although the invention is not limited in scope in that respect.
- lower non-slip layer 106 with both a material of high coefficient of friction and to use an additional process of sandblasting, furthering the non-slip properties of layer 106.
- Lower non-slip layer 16 may be attached to first main layer 102 in a number of ways including but not limited to adhesives, heat activated adhesives, a combination of heat and pressure, stitching or any other low cost adhesive method.
- the method of attachment between first main layer 102 and non-slip layer 106 is both permanent and water proof so that the non-slip layer 106 does not separate during uses that involve contact with water.
- a disposable hygienic sock 200 constructed of a semi-permeable or non-permeable material.
- disposable hygienic sock 200 is made of latex or non-latex (hypoallergenic) material, although the invention is not limited in scope in that respect.
- other materials such as plastics or neoprene, may also be employed.
- Disposable hygienic sock 200 is preferably lightly coated with a desiccant powder to prevent multiple socks 200 from sticking to one another in their packaging boxes. As illustrated in Fig. 6, disposable hygienic sock 200, also maintains a non-slip region 202 on the bottom.
- Non-slip region 202 is preferably provided with a high coefficient of friction so as to prevent the wearer of disposable hygienic sock 200 from slipping on wet slippery surfaces. This can be achieved by thickening sock 200 in non- slip region 202 and adding ridges, ribs, bumps or other such textured styles. Additionally, a separate process such as sand blasting, or other such process for creating a textured surface can be used instead. It is understood that the various features disclosed in each of the three above described versions of disposable hygienic sock 10, 100, 200, may be utilized in each of the other designs. Furthermore, in another embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in Fig. 7, a disposable hygienic sock 40 may be provided with additional features.
- Upper layer 44 extends along the lower layer 42 and is configured to cover the upper portion of the user's foot.
- Mesh or perforated material 46 in accordance with one embodiment of the invention is made of fabric, however, the invention is not limited in scope in that respect.
- mesh material 46 may be made of a plastic material such as latex, or other similar materials such as polyurethane, neoprene or non-latex material.
- solid material 48 may be made of a plastic material such as latex or other similar materials such as polyurethene, neoprene and other synthetic rubber and non-latex materials. Solid material 48 covers the top potion of the user's feet near the toe region.
- Sock 40 also includes a heat sensing film 52, which is configured to change its color based on its temperature.
- Heat sensing film 52 is disposed on solid material 48, so as to allow the user to test the temperature of water, steam or other relevant media before moving under the shower head or other water body.
- Heat sensing film 52 is configured to indicate a specific color when the water temperature is around a range between 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit, although the invention is not limited in scope in that respect and other temperature ranges can be configured. For temperatures below this range heat sensing film 52 turns a second color and for temperatures above this range the heat sensing film turns a third color.
- Fig. 8 illustrates the back portion 60 of sock 40 in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
- Back portion 60 includes a label layer 64 that contains an advertising message or symbol.
- sock 40 includes a releasable pouch or package 72 that contains antibacterial, fungicidal and/or other protective gel or liquid.
- This protective gel or liquid may be constituted of any consistency for use with such products, including washable gels and liquids as well as gels or liquids that dry automatically by evaporation.
- Package 72 may be releasably attached to the inside bottom portion of the sock. For example, package 72 may be released by the user by pressing down on or otherwise applying pressure to the packet, although the invention is not limited in that respect.
- the user can adjust the water temperature and check the color of the heat sensor to make sure that the water temperature is appropriate.
- the mesh or perforated layer of the sock allows for the water and soap to flow into the foot and as such wash the foot area, or in the case of sock 10 being lined with a powder, apply the protective mixture. After the use, the socks can be discarded in garbage or recycled for future use. While only certain features of the invention have been illustrated and described herein, many modifications, substitutions, changes or equivalents will now occur to those skilled in the art. It is therefore, to be understood that this application is intended to cover all such modifications and changes that fall within the true spirit of the invention.
