SOCK LINKING SYSTEM AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE
A sock linking system comprising a first sock, a second sock, and a fastener is made by obtaining the first sock and the second sock, forming a fastener opening in each sock, and providing the fastener. The socks comprise material that forms a cylindrical body having a top edge defining a circular opening into an interior of the body and a fastener opening adjacent to the top edge extending through the material. The fastener comprises a center portion extending between a first end and a second end, and is configured to pass through the fastener opening of each sock. The fastener forms a closed loop when the first end is removably coupled with the second end to link the first sock to the second sock after being passed partially through each fastener opening.
Means for coupling a pair of clothing items to one another
A pair of clothing items that can be coupled to each other using a coupling means, wherein each of the clothing items is provided with a respective means wherein either the clothing item or the means, or both the clothing item and the means is at least partially flexible so that the means can be extended from the first and second clothing item, respectively, by the application of a pulling force onto the means, which means in an extended state is arranged to form a first flexible loop and which means in an extended state is arranged to form a second flexible loop, and wherein said first and second means are detachably engageable with each other by bringing the first flexible loop underneath the second flexible loop creating a flexible opening in between the first means and the second means, and thereafter pass the first clothing item through the through hole in question, whereby the first means of a first clothing item in said pair can be detachably attached to the second means of a second clothing item in said pair, wherein the length of the means is approximately ⅓ to ½ times the circumference of the opening for insertion of a body part of the item of clothes.
Sock with lateral toe seam
Concepts provided are directed to a sock having a toe seam that is primarily located on a lateral side of the sock. The sock may comprise a foot locating feature to ensure that the wearer dons a right footed sock on a right foot and a left footed sock on a left foot so that the toe seam is localized to the lateral side of the wearer's foot when the sock is worn by the wearer.
Method and apparatus for assisting in the organization of paired items
A tag useful for being applied to a first item, such as a sock, as an indication that the item is intended to be used with a second tagged item, such as a matching sock in a pair of socks. The tag has a first end portion, a second end portion, a flexible intermediate portion extending between the first and second end portions, and a latching mechanism. The flexible intermediate portion is movable between first and second operative positions wherein the first and second end portions are spaced apart in the first operative position and are adjacent in the second operative position. The latching mechanism is coupled to the first and second portions and is adapted to maintain the first and second end portions in the second operative position. In one embodiment, the tag is clipped and latched onto a sock in the second operative position.
SOCK WITH TOE ANCHOR
Aspects herein are directed to a sock having a plurality of toe-anchor knit courses that form a toe anchor that divides a toe-end opening of the sock into a first toe-end opening and a second toe-end opening by extending across the toe-end opening from a dorsal portion of the toe-end opening to a plantar portion of the toe-end opening. The toe-anchor knit courses are integrally knit with the sock body.
Socks with pairing and holding feature
A pair of socks is provided. The first sock defines a first toe end and a first upper end. The first sock includes an elastically deformable first aperture formed through the first sock proximate the first upper end. The second sock defines a second toe end and a second upper end. The second sock includes an elastically deformable second aperture formed through the second sock proximate the second upper end. When the first toe end of the first sock is drawn through the second aperture of the second sock and the second toe end of the second sock is drawn through the first aperture of the first sock the first and second socks are secured together.
Sock-pair joining device
The Sock Joining Device (200) provides for an efficient way to place sock-pairs (150) into a joined state that is pleasing to the eye, that remain in this joined state and specifically takes into account socks (100) with a heel section (110). The Sock Joining Device (200) comprises a volume (300), a pole (400). The Sock Joining Device (200) may further comprise a means for holding upright the pole (500).
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ASSISTING IN THE ORGANIZATION OF PAIRED ITEMS
A tag useful for being applied to a first item, such as a sock, as an indication that the item is intended to be used with a second tagged item, such as a matching sock in a pair of socks. The tag has a first end portion, a second end portion, a flexible intermediate portion extending between the first and second end portions, and a latching mechanism. The flexible intermediate portion is movable between first and second operative positions wherein the first and second end portions are spaced apart in the first operative position and are adjacent in the second operative position. The latching mechanism is coupled to the first and second portions and is adapted to maintain the first and second end portions in the second operative position. In one embodiment, the tag is clipped and latched onto a sock in the second operative position.
SLEEPING APPARATUS WITH COMPRESSED STATIC MAGNETIC FIELDS
The devices and methods of stimulating the immune system to treat damaged and abnormal tissue using compressed static magnetic fields provides for noninvasive treatment of damages tissue and removal of abnormal tissue. At least two magnets are positioned to have their static magnetic fields compressed at the damaged or abnormal tissue and at the immediately surrounding healthy tissue. The compressed static magnetic fields stimulate the immune system in the immediately surrounding healthy tissue which treats the damaged or abnormal tissue. The treated tissue fully regenerates without additional medical intervention. The devices provide for efficient exposure to compressed magnetic fields and ease of use at different locations on a body and different types of animal species.
SOCKS WITH HOLES AND HANGER
A pair of socks including a first sock having at least one reinforced opening and a second sock having at least one reinforced opening. The pair of socks also includes at least one attachment device. The at least one attachment device is removably securable through the at least one reinforced opening of the first sock and the at least one reinforced opening of the second sock so as to secure the first sock to the second sock.
