 以下、この入眠促進レッグウォーマー100について詳述すると共に、本発明において許容され得る構成を説明する。 Hereinafter, this sleep-promoting leg warmer 100 will be described in detail, and configurations acceptable in the present invention will be explained.
 本発明の実施の形態に係る入眠促進レッグウォーマー100は、両端が開口する略「く」の字の筒状を呈する編み物であって、図1に示されるように、主に、部分足被覆部110、第1圧締部120、接続部130、足首被覆部140、第2圧締部150および脛被覆部160から構成されている。以下、これらの構成部位について詳述する。 The sleep-promoting leg warmer 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is a knitted fabric having a substantially doglegged cylindrical shape with both ends open, and as shown in FIG. 110, a first clamping part 120, a connecting part 130, an ankle covering part 140, a second clamping part 150, and a shin covering part 160. Hereinafter, these constituent parts will be explained in detail.
 (1)部分足被覆部
 部分足被覆部110は、二重編地構造を有する筒状部位であって、装着者の足の中間部位、すなわち、例えば、足長(足の踵側端部から最も長い足指の端部までの距離)の約50%に相当する領域を被覆するための部位である。上述の通り、この部分足被覆部110は、二重編地構造を有するため、層間に存在する空気層により保温機能を有する。なお、図1および図2に示されるように、この部分足被覆部110の一端は入眠促進レッグウォーマー100の先端となっており、他端は第1圧締部120に繋がっている。すなわち、この入眠促進レッグウォーマー100を装着した場合、装着者の足の爪先側の部位は露出することになる。この部分足被覆部110は、平均的な足形状を有する者であって22cm以上25cm以下の範囲内の足長を有する者を対象として寸法設計されている。また、ここでは、a)足の血管が集中する箇所(例えば、AVA血管が集中する箇所等)を覆うことなく装着者の深部体温の低下を促進して睡眠へ導くと共に、b)血管が集中する箇所以外を覆うことにより足の温度低下速度を緩やかにして足の冷えによる睡眠妨害を防ぐことを目的として、部分足被覆部110の長さは、平均的な足形状を有する者であって22cmの足長を有する者の小趾の付け根あるいは第五中足骨骨頭を超えない長さとされている。かかる場合、入眠促進レッグウォーマー100の装着時において、この部分足被覆部110は、足長に対して踵側から63.3%以上83.1%以下の範囲の部分を覆う。この部分足被覆部110は、不快感が生じないように緩やかに締め付けるという観点から、裏糸(FTY)を用いないゾッキ編みで編成されるのが好ましい。また、同様の観点から、このゾッキ編みにゴム糸が挿入されるのが好ましい。また、同様の観点から、この編地において筒軸方向の伸び率が140%以上160%以下の範囲内であると共に、幅方向の伸び率が270%以上290%以下の範囲内であることが好ましい。また、この部分足被覆部110の周長は、平均的な足形状を有する者であって23.5cmの足長を有する足囲とほぼ同一になるように決定されている。また、この入眠促進レッグウォーマー100は、釜(シリンダー)の直径が5インチ程度である編機で編成されるため、3.5インチ程度の編機で編成されるものよりも部分足被覆部110の周長が長くなり、足の中間部位の締付けが軽減される。また、この部分足被覆部110の着圧は9.50±0.49hPaの範囲内であることが好ましく、9.50±0.16hPaの範囲内であることがより好ましい。なお、この着圧は、室温20℃、相対湿度65%の環境下で、PRESSURE CONVERTER AMI3037-10、丸型エアパックおよびHQL成人女性平均足型(株式会社七彩のトルソー製の平均的人体寸法ダミーMSX-20)を用いて計測した。具体的には、HQL成人女性平均足型に丸型エアパックを貼り付け、その足型に入眠促進レッグウォーマー100を着用させてから1分後にPRESSURE CONVERTER AMI3037-10に表示される着圧計測値を読み取った。ここでは、この計測を3回行ってその平均値を着圧とした。これにより、しっかりとした生地感が得られるだけでなく、縦方向の伸縮を抑制して装着位置のズレを防ぐことができる。そして、これにより、この部分足被覆部110は、装着者の足の中間部位を過度に締め付けることなく足の中間部位にフィットし、装着者に快適感を与えることができる。また、この入眠促進レッグウォーマー100は、上述の構造を有することにより、位置ズレを抑制することができる。
(1) Partial foot covering part The partial foot covering part 110 is a cylindrical part having a double knitted fabric structure, and covers the middle part of the wearer's foot, for example, the length of the foot (from the heel side end of the foot). This area is for covering an area corresponding to approximately 50% of the distance (to the end of the longest toe). As described above, since the partial foot covering part 110 has a double knitted structure, it has a heat retention function due to the air layer existing between the layers. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, one end of this partial leg covering part 110 is the tip of the sleep promoting leg warmer 100, and the other end is connected to the first clamping part 120. That is, when this sleep-promoting leg warmer 100 is worn, the toe side of the wearer's feet will be exposed. This partial foot covering part 110 is dimensionally designed for a person who has an average foot shape and whose foot length is within the range of 22 cm or more and 25 cm or less. In addition, here, a) the wearer's core body temperature decreases without covering areas where blood vessels in the legs are concentrated (for example, areas where AVA blood vessels are concentrated, etc.), leading to sleep, and b) blood vessels are concentrated. The length of the partial foot covering part 110 is set so that the length of the partial foot covering part 110 is suitable for people with an average foot shape, with the aim of slowing down the temperature drop rate of the feet and preventing sleep disturbances due to cold feet. The length does not exceed the base of the lesser toe or the head of the fifth metatarsal bone for people with a foot length of 22 cm. In such a case, when the sleep-promoting leg warmer 100 is worn, the partial foot covering portion 110 covers a range of 63.3% or more and 83.1% or less of the foot length from the heel side. This partial foot covering portion 110 is preferably knitted with a zokki knitting method that does not use a lining yarn (FTY) from the viewpoint of being tightened gently so as not to cause discomfort. Further, from the same viewpoint, it is preferable that a rubber thread is inserted into this zokki knitting. In addition, from the same viewpoint, in this knitted fabric, the elongation rate in the cylinder axis direction is within the range of 140% to 160%, and the elongation rate in the width direction is within the range of 270% to 290%. preferable. Further, the circumference of the partial foot covering portion 110 is determined to be approximately the same as the foot circumference of a person with an average foot shape and a foot length of 23.5 cm. In addition, since this sleep-promoting leg warmer 100 is knitted using a knitting machine with a cylinder diameter of approximately 5 inches, the partial leg covering portion 110 is larger than one knitted using a knitting machine with a cylinder diameter of approximately 3.5 inches. The circumference of the foot becomes longer, reducing the tightness in the middle part of the foot. Further, the wearing pressure of the partial foot covering portion 110 is preferably within the range of 9.50±0.49 hPa, and more preferably within the range of 9.50±0.16 hPa. This compression was measured at a room temperature of 20°C and a relative humidity of 65% using PRESSURE CONVERTER AMI3037-10, a round air pack, and an HQL adult female average foot shape (an average human body size dummy manufactured by Nanasai Co., Ltd.'s torso). MSX-20). Specifically, a round air pack is attached to the average foot shape of an HQL adult female foot, and the pressure measurement value displayed on the PRESSURE CONVERTER AMI3037-10 is displayed one minute after wearing the Sleep Promotion Leg Warmer 100 on that foot shape. I read. Here, this measurement was performed three times and the average value was taken as the wearing pressure. This not only provides a firm texture, but also suppresses vertical expansion and contraction to prevent misalignment of the wearing position. As a result, the partial foot covering section 110 can fit the middle part of the wearer's foot without excessively tightening the middle part of the foot, thereby providing a comfortable feeling to the wearer. Moreover, this sleep-promoting leg warmer 100 has the above-described structure, thereby making it possible to suppress misalignment.
 ところで、部分足被覆部110は、上述の通り、足部のAVE血管近傍を被覆するため、上述のa)およびb)の目的のためには保温性が高すぎないことが好ましい。なお、部分足被覆部110は、足の血管が集中する箇所から離れた、脛被覆部160よりも保温性が低いことが特に好ましい。なお、保温性は、保温率(%)やCLO値(clo)で表すことができる。保温率(%)やCLO値(clo)は、例えば、精密迅速熱物性測定装置(例えば、カトーテック株式会社製のKES-F7,サーモラボII型)を用いてドライコンタクト法に従って測定することができる。なお、以下に規定する保温率(%)やCLO値(clo)は、カトーテック株式会社製のKES-F7,サーモラボII型を用いてドライコンタクト法に従って以下に示される条件で測定されたものである。 By the way, as mentioned above, the partial foot covering part 110 covers the vicinity of the AVE blood vessels in the foot, so it is preferable that the heat retention is not too high for the purposes of a) and b) described above. In addition, it is particularly preferable that the partial foot covering part 110 has lower heat retention than the shin covering part 160, which is located away from the area where blood vessels of the leg are concentrated. Note that the heat retention property can be expressed as a heat retention rate (%) or a CLO value (clo). The heat retention rate (%) and CLO value (clo) can be measured, for example, according to the dry contact method using a precision rapid thermophysical property measuring device (for example, KES-F7 manufactured by Kato Tech Co., Ltd., Thermolab II type). . The heat retention rate (%) and CLO value (clo) specified below were measured under the conditions shown below according to the dry contact method using KES-F7, Thermolab II type manufactured by Kato Tech Co., Ltd. be.
 ・試験室の温湿度:20℃,65%RH
 ・熱板温度:30℃
 ・風速:30cm/秒
 ・熱板側面:裏面
・Test room temperature and humidity: 20℃, 65%RH
・Hot plate temperature: 30℃
・Wind speed: 30cm/sec ・Heating plate side: Back side
 部分足被覆部110の保温率は30%以上60%以下の範囲内であることが好ましく、45%以上55%以下の範囲内であることがより好ましい。また、部分足被覆部110のCLO値は、0.25clo以上1.40clo以下の範囲内であることが好ましく、0.55clo以上0.60clo以下の範囲内であることがより好ましい。これに対し、脛被覆部160の保温率は40%以上70%以下の範囲内であることが好ましく、55%以上65%以下の範囲内であることがより好ましい。また、脛被覆部160のCLO値は、0.40clo以上1.90clo以下の範囲内であることが好ましく、1.25clo以上1.60clo以下の範囲内であることがより好ましい。すなわち、脛被覆部160の保温率に対する部分足被覆部110の保温率の比は0.8以上0.9以下の範囲内であることが好ましく、0.8以上0.85以下の範囲内であることがより好ましい。また、脛被覆部160のCLO値に対する部分足被覆部110のCLO値の比は0.6以上0.7以下の範囲内であることが好ましく、0.6以上0.65以下の範囲内であることがより好ましい。 The heat retention rate of the partial foot covering portion 110 is preferably within the range of 30% or more and 60% or less, and more preferably within the range of 45% or more and 55% or less. Further, the CLO value of the partial leg covering portion 110 is preferably within the range of 0.25 clo to 1.40 clo, and more preferably within the range of 0.55 clo to 0.60 clo. On the other hand, the heat retention rate of the shin covering portion 160 is preferably within the range of 40% or more and 70% or less, and more preferably within the range of 55% or more and 65% or less. Further, the CLO value of the shin covering portion 160 is preferably within the range of 0.40 clo to 1.90 clo, more preferably within the range of 1.25 clo to 1.60 clo. That is, the ratio of the heat retention rate of the partial foot covering part 110 to the heat retention rate of the shin covering part 160 is preferably within the range of 0.8 or more and 0.9 or less, and within the range of 0.8 or more and 0.85 or less. It is more preferable that there be. Further, the ratio of the CLO value of the partial foot covering part 110 to the CLO value of the shin covering part 160 is preferably within the range of 0.6 or more and 0.7 or less, and preferably within the range of 0.6 or more and 0.65 or less. It is more preferable that there be.
 ところで、部分足被覆部110の保温率やCLO値は、第2圧締部150の保温率やCLO値と同一であってもよいが、第2圧締部150の保温率やCLO値よりも低いことが好ましい。なお、前者の場合、部分足被覆部110と第2圧締部150とを、高ピル性を有する同一の素材で形成することが好ましい。なお、第2圧締部150は、部分足被覆部110よりも足の血管が集中部分から遠いため、部分足被覆部110より保温性が高くてもかまわない。すなわち、脛被覆部160との関係も考慮すると、保温性は部分足被覆部110≦第2圧締部150≦脛被覆部160となる。 By the way, the heat retention rate and CLO value of the partial foot covering part 110 may be the same as the heat retention rate and CLO value of the second clamping part 150, but may be higher than the heat retention rate and CLO value of the second clamping part 150. Preferably it is low. In the former case, it is preferable that the partial foot covering part 110 and the second clamping part 150 be made of the same material having high pillability. Note that the second compression part 150 may have higher heat retention than the partial foot covering part 110 because it is farther from the part where the leg blood vessels are concentrated than the partial foot covering part 110. That is, considering the relationship with the shin covering part 160, the heat retention satisfies the following relationship: partial leg covering part 110≦second compression part 150≦shin covering part 160.
 また、部分足被覆部110は、心地よい睡眠を促進する観点からできるだけ柔らかい生地感を有するのが好ましいが、部分足被覆部110の裏側は、歩行時に床等との摩擦が生じたり、入眠促進レッグウォーマー100の装着者がツボを刺激するために同装着者により床等に押し当てたりされるため、ピリングが生じやすい。ピリングができると生地感が悪くなり睡眠促進に悪影響を及ぼすことになる。このため、部分足被覆部110を形成する生地は、柔らかすぎず且つ硬すぎず、ピリングができにくい生地であることが好ましい。 In addition, it is preferable that the partial foot covering part 110 has a texture that is as soft as possible from the viewpoint of promoting a comfortable sleep. Pilling is likely to occur because the wearer of the warmer 100 presses the warmer 100 against the floor or the like to stimulate pressure points. If pilling occurs, the texture of the fabric will deteriorate, which will have a negative impact on sleep promotion. For this reason, it is preferable that the fabric forming the partial leg covering portion 110 is neither too soft nor too hard, and is unlikely to cause pilling.
 上述のような生地を編成する手段としては、例えば、アモーゼ糸を平編みする方法などが挙げられる。なお、アモーゼ糸を平編みしたもののJIS L 1076A法によるピリング等級は4.5級であった。 Examples of means for knitting the above-mentioned fabric include a method of plain knitting amose yarn. In addition, the pilling grade of the plain knitted Amos yarn according to the JIS L 1076A method was grade 4.5.
 (2)第1圧締部
 第1圧締部120は、二重編地構造を有する筒状部位であって、装着者の踵部位の爪先側の部位を被覆すると共に、入眠促進レッグウォーマー100の装着時において部分足被覆部110および足首被覆部140の位置ズレ(ずり落ちや、めくれ上がり等)を抑制するための部位である。上述の通り、この第1圧締部120は、二重編地構造を有するため、層間に存在する空気層により保温機能を有する。なお、図1および図2に示されるように、この第1圧締部120の一端は部分足被覆部110に繋がっており、他端は接続部130に繋がっている。また、上述の位置ズレ抑制の点から、第1圧締部120を編成する編地は、部分足被覆部110および足首被覆部140を編成する編地よりも締め付けが強い編地とされるのが好ましい。このため、この第1圧締部120は、裏糸(FTY)を用いた平編みで編成されるのが好ましい。また、同様の観点から、この平編みにゴム糸や柄糸が挿入されるのが好ましい。また、同様の観点から、この編地において筒軸方向の伸び率が240%以上260%以下の範囲内であると共に、幅方向の伸び率が190%以上210%以下の範囲内であることが好ましい。また、この第1圧締部120の着圧は33.20±3.56hPaの範囲内であることが好ましく、33.20±1.19hPaの範囲内であることがより好ましい。これにより、部分足被覆部110および足首被覆部140が位置ズレを起こしにくく、部分足被覆部110および足首被覆部140の機能を十分に発揮させることができる。
(2) First clamping part The first clamping part 120 is a cylindrical part having a double knitted fabric structure, and covers the toe side of the heel region of the wearer, and also covers the part of the leg warmer 100 that promotes falling asleep. This is a part for suppressing misalignment (slipping down, rolling up, etc.) of the partial foot covering part 110 and the ankle covering part 140 when worn. As described above, since the first clamping part 120 has a double knitted structure, it has a heat retention function due to the air layer existing between the layers. Note that, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, one end of the first clamping part 120 is connected to the partial leg covering part 110, and the other end is connected to the connecting part 130. In addition, from the viewpoint of suppressing the above-mentioned positional deviation, the knitted fabric that knits the first clamping part 120 is a knitted fabric that is stronger in tightening than the knitted fabric that knits the partial foot covering part 110 and the ankle covering part 140. is preferred. For this reason, it is preferable that the first clamping portion 120 is knitted by plain knitting using a back yarn (FTY). Also, from the same viewpoint, it is preferable that rubber threads or pattern threads be inserted into this plain knitting. In addition, from the same viewpoint, in this knitted fabric, the elongation rate in the cylinder axis direction is within the range of 240% or more and 260% or less, and the elongation rate in the width direction is within the range of 190% or more and 210% or less. preferable.

Note that the size of this raised portion 125 is preferably within a range of 25 mm x 25 mm or more and 35 mm x 35 mm or less. Further, as described above, the first clamping part 120 has a double knitted fabric structure, and this double knitted fabric structure is made up of an inner knitted fabric layer 120a and an outer knitted fabric layer 120b, as shown in FIG. It is configured. As shown in FIG. 3, the protrusions 125 include a first protrusion 125a that protrudes from the inner knitted fabric layer 120a toward the outer knitted fabric layer, and a first protrusion 125a that protrudes from the outer knitted fabric layer 120b toward the inner knitted fabric layer. and a second protrusion 125b. As shown in FIG. 3, the first protrusion 125a and the second protrusion 125b are arranged to face each other. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the first protrusion 125a and the second protrusion 125b are composed of a rectangular portion RG, a first wing W1, and a second wing W2. The rectangular portion RG is a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped portion made of knitted fabric. As shown in FIG. 3, in the first protrusion 125a, the lower end surface of the rectangular portion RG is at a position lower than the lower end surface of the first wing W1 and the second wing W2, and the second protrusion 125b, the upper end surface of the rectangular portion RG is designed to be at a higher position than the upper end surface of the first wing section W1 and the upper end surface of the second wing section W2.

The second wing portion W2 is a rectangular parallelepiped that extends from the rectangular portion RG to both sides of the rectangular portion RG along the direction Dl orthogonal to the width direction Dw, that is, the depth direction (direction passing through the heel and toe), as shown in FIG. It is a part of the body. As shown in FIG. 3, in the first protrusion 125a and the second protrusion 125b, the lower end surface or upper end surface of the second wing section W2 is at the same height position as the lower end surface or upper end surface of the second wing section W2. be. Further, as described above, the lower end surface of the first wing portion W1 in the first projection portion 125a is located at a higher position than the lower end surface of the rectangular portion RG, and the upper end surface of the first wing portion W1 in the second projection portion 125b. is designed to be at a lower position than the upper end surface of the rectangular portion RG. In other words, the second wing portion W2 in the first protrusion 125a and the second protrusion 125b is designed to be thinner than the rectangular portion RG. By forming the first protrusion 125a and the second protrusion 125b as described above, twelve corners CN are formed in each of the first protrusion 125a and the second protrusion 125b. Note that four of the corners CN are formed by the rectangular portion RG, and eight corners CN are formed by the first wing portion W1 and the second wing portion W2.
 そして、***部125が上述の通りにして形成されることによって、装着者が装着して歩行等する際において、第1突起部125aおよび第2突起部125bにより形成される***部125が内側(肌側)に向かって***する(このとき、第1突起部125aの矩形部RGおよび第2突起部125bの矩形部RGにより形成される矩形部の上端面は、第1突起部125aの第1翼部W1および第2突起部125bの第1翼部W1により形成される第1翼部の上端面、および、第1突起部125aの第2翼部W2および第2突起部125bの第2翼部W2により形成される第2翼部の上端面よりも高い位置になる)と共に、その***部において第1突起部125aおよび第2突起部125bの各角CNの対応する位置に12個の角が形成されることになり、これらの角によって失眠のツボを効率的に刺激することができる。 By forming the protrusion 125 as described above, when the wearer wears it and walks, etc., the protrusion 125 formed by the first protrusion 125a and the second protrusion 125b will move inside ( (At this time, the upper end surface of the rectangular part formed by the rectangular part RG of the first protruding part 125a and the rectangular part RG of the second protruding part 125b is raised toward the skin side). The upper end surface of the first wing formed by the wing W1 and the first wing W1 of the second protrusion 125b, and the second wing W2 of the first protrusion 125a and the second wing of the second protrusion 125b. (at a position higher than the upper end surface of the second wing part formed by the part W2), and 12 corners are formed at positions corresponding to each corner CN of the first protrusion part 125a and the second protrusion part 125b in the raised part. will be formed, and these horns can effectively stimulate the acupuncture points.
 なお、突起部125a,125bを編地で構成する際、以下の通りにして突起部125a,125bが形成されるのが好ましい。具体的には、パイル編み(部分パイル編み、疑似パイル編みを含む。部分パイル編みと疑似パイル編みが組み合わされてもよい。)などの編み方や、AWカットボス編みで部分的に糸を足す編み方、太い糸などの糸の変化を組み合わせて突起部125a,125bを編成する。これにより第1突起部125aを内側編地層120aに一体化することができると共に、第2突起部125bを外側編地層120bに一体化することができ、突起部125a,125bの形成工程を増やすことなく、接着不良等による突起部125a,125bの位置ズレを抑制することができる。 Note that when the protrusions 125a, 125b are made of knitted fabric, the protrusions 125a, 125b are preferably formed as follows. Specifically, knitting methods include pile knitting (including partial pile knitting and pseudo-pile knitting. Partial pile knitting and pseudo-pile knitting may also be combined), and knitting in which yarn is added partially using AW cut boss knitting. On the other hand, the protrusions 125a and 125b are knitted by combining changes in threads such as thick threads. As a result, the first projection 125a can be integrated with the inner knitted fabric layer 120a, and the second projection 125b can be integrated with the outer knitted fabric layer 120b, thereby increasing the number of steps for forming the projections 125a and 125b. Therefore, it is possible to suppress misalignment of the protrusions 125a and 125b due to poor adhesion or the like.
 より具体的な編成方法を図5に示した。図5において〇印および△印で示されている領域(以下「第1領域」という場合がある。)は平編み領域であり、表糸、裏糸およびゴム糸で編成されている。△印で示される箇所にゴム糸の挿入されている。 A more specific knitting method is shown in Figure 5. In FIG. 5, the areas indicated by O and △ marks (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "first area") are plain knitting areas, and are knitted with front yarns, back yarns, and rubber threads. Rubber threads are inserted at the locations marked with △.
 行番号3~11/列番号1~4で示される領域(以下「第21領域」という場合がある。)、行番号12~22/列番号5~8で示される領域(以下「第22領域」という場合がある。)、行番号23~31/列番号1~4で示される領域(以下「第23領域」という場合がある。)、行番号3~11/列番号129~132で示される領域(以下「第24領域」という場合がある。)、行番号12~22/列番号125~128で示される領域(以下「第25領域」という場合がある。)、行番号23~31/列番号129~132で示される領域(以下「第26領域」という場合がある。)は、表糸、裏糸、ゴム糸、および疑似パイル糸で編成されている。なお、これらの領域において、疑似パイル糸は、灰色の箇所で編みこまれているが、黒色の箇所で編みこまれていない。黒色の箇所で疑似パイル糸が編みこまれないことによってそれらの領域の生地がパイル調になり、厚みが出る。また、これらの領域にはゴム糸が編みこまれていないため、ゴム糸はそれらの領域の上に横たわっている。このようにゴム糸が編みこまれないことによりゴム糸が押しつぶされず、その分、その箇所に厚みが出る。 The area indicated by row numbers 3 to 11/column numbers 1 to 4 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "21st area"), the area indicated by row numbers 12 to 22/column numbers 5 to 8 (hereinafter referred to as the "22nd area") ), the area indicated by row numbers 23 to 31/column numbers 1 to 4 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "23rd area"), the area indicated by row numbers 3 to 11/column numbers 129 to 132. (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "24th area"), the area indicated by row numbers 12 to 22/column numbers 125 to 128 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "25th area"), row numbers 23 to 31 The areas indicated by row numbers 129 to 132 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "26th area") are knitted with front yarns, back yarns, rubber yarns, and pseudo pile yarns. In addition, in these regions, the pseudo pile yarn is woven in the gray areas, but not in the black areas. Because the pseudo pile yarn is not woven in the black areas, the fabric in those areas becomes pile-like and thick. Also, since the rubber threads are not woven into these areas, the rubber threads lie on top of these areas. Since the rubber threads are not woven in this way, the rubber threads are not crushed and the thickness is increased accordingly.
 行番号12~22/列番号1~4で示される領域(以下「第31領域」という場合がある。)、行番号12~22/列番号129~132で示される領域(以下「第32領域」という場合がある。)は、表糸、裏糸、ゴム糸、および疑似パイル糸で編成されている。なお、これらの領域において、疑似パイル糸は、薄い灰色の箇所で編みこまれているが、濃い灰色の箇所で編みこまれていない。この点は、上述の第21~26領域と同じであるが、これらの領域では、更に平編みからパイル編みに変更されている。これにより、これらの領域は、第21~26領域よりも厚くなる。すなわち、上述の各領域の厚さの関係は、以下の通りとなる。 The area indicated by row numbers 12 to 22/column numbers 1 to 4 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "31st area"), the area indicated by row numbers 12 to 22/column numbers 129 to 132 (hereinafter referred to as the "32nd area") ) is knitted with front thread, back thread, rubber thread, and pseudo pile thread. In addition, in these regions, the pseudo pile yarn is woven in light gray areas, but is not woven in dark gray areas. This point is the same as the above-mentioned 21st to 26th regions, but in these regions, the plain knitting is further changed to pile knitting. As a result, these regions become thicker than the 21st to 26th regions. That is, the relationship between the thicknesses of each region described above is as follows.
第31領域=第32領域>第21領域=第22領域=第23領域=第24領域=第25領域=第26領域>第1領域。 31st region = 32nd region > 21st region = 22nd region = 23rd region = 24th region = 25th region = 26th region > first region.
 また、第31領域および第32領域には、第21~26領域と同様にゴム糸が編みこまれていないため、ゴム糸はそれらの領域の上に横たわっている。このようにゴム糸が編みこまれないことによりゴム糸が押しつぶされず、その分、その箇所に厚みが出る。 Further, in the 31st region and the 32nd region, the rubber thread is not woven in like the 21st to 26th regions, so the rubber thread lies on these regions. Since the rubber threads are not woven in this way, the rubber threads are not crushed and the thickness is increased accordingly.
 (3)接続部
 接続部130は、一重編地構造を有する環状部位であって、第1圧締部120と足首被覆部140とを繋ぐ役割を担っている。この接続部130は、装着者の睡眠を妨げない観点から、段差がなく、装着者に締め付けを感じさせないものであることが好ましい。なお、この接続部130の具体的な例としては、例えば、熱融着部位、縫製部位などが挙げられる。なお、この接続部130は、入眠促進レッグウォーマー100の装着時にその装着者の踵よりも爪先側に位置することが好ましい。この接続部130は、装着者に不快感を与えないという観点から、入眠促進レッグウォーマー100の装着時に装着者の足の敏感でない部位に位置することが好ましいからである。なお、この接続部130は、例えば、パイル編み(部分パイル編み、疑似パイル編みを含む。部分パイル編みと疑似パイル編みが組み合わされてもよい。)などの編み方で編成されることが好ましい。
(3) Connecting Part The connecting part 130 is an annular part having a single knitted fabric structure, and plays the role of connecting the first clamping part 120 and the ankle covering part 140. From the viewpoint of not disturbing the wearer's sleep, it is preferable that the connecting portion 130 has no level difference and does not make the wearer feel tight. Note that specific examples of the connecting portion 130 include a heat-sealed portion, a sewn portion, and the like. Note that this connecting portion 130 is preferably located closer to the toe than the heel of the wearer when the sleep-promoting leg warmer 100 is worn. This is because, from the viewpoint of not causing discomfort to the wearer, it is preferable that the connection portion 130 be located at a non-sensitive part of the wearer's foot when wearing the sleep-promoting leg warmer 100. Note that this connecting portion 130 is preferably knitted using a knitting method such as pile knitting (including partial pile knitting and pseudo-pile knitting. Partial pile knitting and pseudo-pile knitting may be combined).
 (4)足首被覆部
 足首被覆部140は、一重編地構造を有する筒状部位であって、装着者の足首回りおよび踵の一部を覆うための部位である。なお、図1および図2に示されるように、この足首被覆部140は接続部130を介して第1圧締部120に繋がっており、その反対側は第2圧締部150に繋がっている。また、この足首被覆部140は、適度な保温性を付与するという観点から、パイル編みなどで編成されるのが好ましい。また、この足首被覆部140は、第1圧締部120の***部125の位置合わせを行うという観点から睡眠時の足首および踵の形状に沿うように屈曲していることが好ましい。足首被覆部140は、足首被覆部140の全周編み領域の間に目減らし編み領域を設けることが好ましく、目減らし編み領域に続けて目増し編み領域を設けてもよい。また、この足首被覆部140の着圧は8.17±2.62hPa以下の範囲内であることが好ましく、8.17±0.87hPa以下の範囲内であることがより好ましい。
(4) Ankle covering part The ankle covering part 140 is a cylindrical part having a single knitted fabric structure, and is a part for covering the wearer's ankle and part of the heel. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this ankle covering part 140 is connected to the first clamping part 120 via the connecting part 130, and the other side thereof is connected to the second clamping part 150. . Further, from the viewpoint of imparting appropriate heat retention, the ankle covering portion 140 is preferably knitted with pile knitting or the like. Further, from the viewpoint of aligning the raised portion 125 of the first compression portion 120, the ankle covering portion 140 is preferably bent to follow the shape of the ankle and heel during sleep. It is preferable that the ankle covering part 140 is provided with a reducing knitting area between the entire circumference knitting areas of the ankle covering part 140, and an increasing knitting area may be provided following the reducing knitting area. Further, the wearing pressure of the ankle covering portion 140 is preferably within a range of 8.17±2.62 hPa or less, and more preferably within a range of 8.17±0.87 hPa or less.
 (5)第2圧締部
 第2圧締部150は、一重編地を有する筒状部位であって、装着者の足首の上側に位置する部位を被覆すると共に、入眠促進レッグウォーマー100の装着時において足首被覆部140および脛被覆部160の位置ズレ(ずり落ちや、めくれ上がり等)を抑制するための部位である。なお、図1および図2に示されるように、この第2圧締部150の一端は足首被覆部140に繋がっており、他端は脛被覆部160に繋がっている。また、この第2圧締部150の着圧は5.63±0.51hPa以下の範囲内であることが好ましく、5.63±0.17hPa以下の範囲内であることがより好ましい。なお、この第2圧締部150は、例えば、パイル編み(部分パイル編み、疑似パイル編みを含む。部分パイル編みと疑似パイル編みが組み合わされてもよい。)などの編み方で編成されることが好ましい。
(5) Second clamping part The second clamping part 150 is a cylindrical part having a single layer of knitted fabric, and covers the part located above the wearer's ankle, and also serves to attach the sleep promoting leg warmer 100. This is a part for preventing the ankle covering part 140 and the shin covering part 160 from shifting (slipping down, rolling up, etc.) at times. Note that, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, one end of the second clamping part 150 is connected to the ankle covering part 140, and the other end is connected to the shin covering part 160. Further, the pressure of the second clamping portion 150 is preferably within a range of 5.63±0.51 hPa or less, and more preferably within a range of 5.63±0.17 hPa or less. The second clamping portion 150 may be knitted using a knitting method such as pile knitting (including partial pile knitting and pseudo pile knitting.

 また、図1および図2に示されるように、この第2圧締部150の側面部には、三陰交のツボに対応する位置にツボ刺激部155が形成されている。なお、このツボ刺激部155の大きさは、25mm×25mm以上35mm×35mm以下の範囲内であることが好ましい。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an acupuncture point stimulation part 155 is formed on the side surface of the second clamping part 150 at a position corresponding to the three-in-continence acupuncture point. Note that the size of this acupoint stimulation part 155 is preferably within the range of 25 mm x 25 mm or more and 35 mm x 35 mm or less.
 (6)脛被覆部
 脛被覆部160は、二重編地構造を有する筒状部位であって、装着者の脛を被覆するための部位である。上述の通り、この脛被覆部160は、二重編地構造を有するため、層間に存在する空気層により保温機能を有する。なお、図1および図2に示されるように、この脛被覆部160の一端は第2圧締部150に繋がっており、他端は入眠促進レッグウォーマー100の基端となっている。また、入眠促進レッグウォーマー100の装着時において脛被覆部160の位置ズレ(ずり落ちや、めくれ上がり等)を抑制する観点から、この脛被覆部160の着圧は4.80±3.13hPa以下の範囲内であることが好ましく、4.80±1.04hPa以下の範囲内であることがより好ましい。
(6) Shin Covering Part The shin covering part 160 is a cylindrical part having a double knitted fabric structure, and is a part for covering the wearer's shin. As described above, since the shin covering portion 160 has a double knitted fabric structure, it has a heat retaining function due to the air layer existing between the layers. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, one end of the shin covering section 160 is connected to the second clamping section 150, and the other end is the proximal end of the sleep promoting leg warmer 100. In addition, from the viewpoint of suppressing the displacement of the shin covering part 160 (slipping down, rolling up, etc.) when wearing the sleep promoting leg warmer 100, the wearing pressure of the shin covering part 160 is 4.80±3.13 hPa or less. The pressure is preferably within the range of 4.80±1.04 hPa or less, and more preferably within the range of 4.80±1.04 hPa.
 ところで、脛被覆部160は、足の血管が集中部分から遠いため、保温性が高ければ高いほど好ましい。すなわち、脛被覆部160は、上述の通り、部分足被覆部110の保温性よりも高い保温性を有することが好ましく、編地で想定される最も高い保温性を有するのがより好ましい。 By the way, since the shin covering part 160 is far from the part where blood vessels in the legs are concentrated, the higher the heat retention, the better. That is, as described above, the shin covering part 160 preferably has higher heat retention than the partial foot covering part 110, and more preferably has the highest heat retention expected of a knitted fabric.
 また、脛被覆部160は、心地よい睡眠を促進する観点からできるだけ柔らかい生地感を有するのが好ましい。なお、ピリングができると生地感が悪くなり睡眠促進に悪影響を及ぼすことになるため、脛被覆部160を形成する生地は、ピリングができにくい生地であることが好ましい。ただし、ピリングができにくい生地は生地感が硬くなりやすく、生地感が硬すぎると睡眠促進に悪影響を及ぼす。したがって、脛被覆部160を形成する生地は、ピリングが全く生じてはいけないことはなく、ピリングが適切量生じることが好ましい。 Furthermore, it is preferable that the shin covering portion 160 has a texture that is as soft as possible from the viewpoint of promoting comfortable sleep. It should be noted that the fabric forming the shin covering portion 160 is preferably a fabric that is less likely to cause pilling, since the fabric will have a poor feel and will have an adverse effect on promoting sleep. However, fabrics that do not easily pill tend to have a hard texture, and if the fabric texture is too hard, it will have a negative effect on promoting sleep. Therefore, the fabric forming the shin covering portion 160 should not be free from pilling at all, but preferably should have a suitable amount of pilling.
 また、脛被覆部160を形成する生地は、歩行時の床等の摩擦を考慮する必要がないため、部分足被覆部110を形成する生地よりも柔らかくすることができる。また、脛被覆部160を形成する生地は、部分足被覆部110を形成する生地よりも厚くなってもかまわないし、重くなってもかまわない。また、脛被覆部160を形成する生地は、部分足被覆部110を形成する生地よりも平均摩擦係数の変動値(MMD値)が小さく、表面が滑らかであることが好ましい。さらに、脛被覆部160を形成する生地は、部分足被覆部110を形成する生地よりも表面の凹凸が小さいことが好ましい。なお、生地表面の凹凸が小さいことについては、KES法に基づく表面粗さの平均偏差(SMD)が小さいことで確認することができる。さらに、脛被覆部160を形成する生地は、部分足被覆部110を形成する生地よりも空気を含みふんわりしていることが好ましい。なお、生地が空気を含みふんわりしていることについては、KES法に基づく圧縮エネルギー(WC)の値が大きいことで確認することができる。なお、脛被覆部160を形成する生地と、部分足被覆部110を形成する生地とは、回復性(RC)の値が等しくてよい。回復性については、KES法に基づいて評価することができる。 Furthermore, the fabric forming the shin covering part 160 can be made softer than the fabric forming the partial leg covering part 110, since there is no need to consider friction from the floor etc. during walking. Further, the fabric forming the shin covering part 160 may be thicker or heavier than the fabric forming the partial leg covering part 110. Further, it is preferable that the fabric forming the shin covering part 160 has a smaller average coefficient of friction fluctuation value (MMD value) and a smoother surface than the fabric forming the partial leg covering part 110. Furthermore, it is preferable that the fabric forming the shin covering part 160 has smaller surface irregularities than the fabric forming the partial leg covering part 110. It should be noted that the fact that the unevenness on the fabric surface is small can be confirmed by the small mean deviation (SMD) of surface roughness based on the KES method. Furthermore, it is preferable that the fabric forming the shin covering part 160 contains air and is softer than the fabric forming the partial leg covering part 110. Note that the fact that the dough contains air and is soft can be confirmed by a large value of compressive energy (WC) based on the KES method. Note that the fabric forming the shin covering part 160 and the fabric forming the partial leg covering part 110 may have the same recovery property (RC) value. Recovery properties can be evaluated based on the KES method.
