The sock as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said massage elements are each discretely sized and shaped to correspond to said reflexology body parts. This application claims the benefit of priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/012,708, filed on Jun. 16, 2014, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference.1. Field of the InventionThis application relates to socks. More particularly, this application relates to socks with massage elements included/coupled directly to the sock fabric.2. Description of Related ArtIn the area of foot massage there are numerous devices that can be used. However, typical foot massage devices require the shoe to be removed and thus have only limited home use applications.Another type of foot massage device is for a sole insert for the inside of a shoe. This type of insert can be worn all day but has several drawbacks including that it needs to be moved from shoe to shoe, it needs to be frequently washed, and in some cases if it does not fit in different shoes then a user would need multiple sets of inserts.The present arrangement provides for a sock with massage elements directly included in the fabric of the sock.

A protective sock that integrates a protective padding to provide a unitary garment is disclosed. As such, a wearer's need to frequently adjust the position of the protective equipment is likely reduced. An integrated and flexible protective padding also limits the amount of equipment required by the wearer. The padding also conforms to the wearer's body, and thus likely increases the athlete's wearer's comfort. A protective sock that integrates a high friction surface to restrict the movement of any secondary equipment is also disclosed. Such a restriction prevents the exposure of a wearer's body to potential injury. Movement of the secondary equipment may also be distracting to the wearer. As such, the integrated high friction surface likely provides the athlete wearer with a performance advantage. The sock may integrate the protective padding and/or the high friction surface. 1: A protective sock for use on and for protecting a wearer's foot and ankle comprising:at least one material for forming the protective sock,a foot portion enclosing the wearer's foot having a top side and an underside,a leg portion extending from the foot portion, having a front portion extending upwardly from the top side and a rear portion extending upwardly from the underside, andat least one protective padding,wherein the at least one protective padding is integrated into at least an area of the front portion of the leg portion.2: The protective sock according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one protective padding is a plurality of protective pads claim 1 , wherein at least two of the plurality of protective pads overlap one another.3: The protective sock according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one protective padding is integrated exteriorly at the front portion.4: The protective sock according to claim 1 , wherein the protective padding comprises a silicone material.5: The protective sock according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one material is a machine-washable material.6: ...

Garment for improved foot and leg alignment and improved circluation

Номер: US20180021199A1

Автор: Joanne Halbrecht

Принадлежит: Individual

A garment for a human lower extremity with variable elasticity in the toe, heel and body of the garment is provided. A band of decreased elasticity is incorporated into the body of the sock extending from the toe area to the proximal end of the garment. A novel method for applying the sock includes twisting the garment, which results in providing targeted neuromuscular stimulation by the band to the location on the human lower extremity that the user positions the band over, thus improving alignment, gait, balance, circulation, and decreasing swelling and injury. Twisting of the garment also selectively increases a level of compression applied by the garment at said location relative to a level of pressure applied at adjacent locations. The location of the band and amount of compression generated by the garment is customizable by the wearer, depending upon the degree of twist chosen by the wearer.

A compression foot garment is integrally knit of a body yarn, and adapted for wear on a foot of a user. The foot garment incorporates first and second high compression zones, and a compression release zone between the high compression zones. The first high compression zone is adapted for applying substantially circumferential compression to the foot below the plantar fascia between the calcaneus and metatarso-phalangeal joints and generally around the midfoot. The second high compression zone is adapted for applying substantially circumferential compression to the foot above the calcaneus and generally around an ankle of the user. The first and second high compression zones may comprise elastic yarns integrated with the body yarn. The compression release zone is adapted for applying reduced compression to the foot in an area between the first and second high compression zones. 1. A compression foot garment integrally knit of a body yarn and adapted for wear on a foot of a user , and said compression foot garment comprising a leg end and a toe end , the foot comprising a calcaneus , a midfoot , metatarso-phalangeal joints , and a plantar fascia extending below the midfoot between the calcaneus and metatarso-phalangeal joints , said compression foot garment comprising:a first high compression zone axially spaced apart from the toe end of said garment and adapted for applying at least 20 mmHg of substantially circumferential compression to the foot below the plantar fascia between the calcaneus and metatarso-phalangeal joints and generally around the midfoot, said first high compression zone comprising elastic yarns integrated with said body yarn, and wherein said foot garment comprises reduced compression axially from said first high compression zone to the toe end of said garment;a second high compression zone axially spaced apart from the leg end of said garment and adapted for applying at least 20 mmHg of substantially circumferential compression to the foot above ...

A sock structure includes a sock body in which a wearer's foot is wrapped. A cuff is provided in an upper end of the sock body, and a toe and a heel are respectively formed at a front end and a rear end of the sock body. An instep is formed at an upside of the sock body, and a contracted opening section is formed in the instep adjacent to the toe. The contracted opening section includes a stitching line by which the contracted opening section is closed and seamed. Depending on the contracted opening section designed on the instep adjacent to the toe, the stitching line stays above the foot toes of a person who wears the sock body and prevents the foot toes from discomfort or injury induced by friction between the foot toes and the stitching line when the sock body is worn on a foot. 1.
