A PAIR OF SUPPORTIVE SOCKS FOR DISORDERS CAUSED BY FOOT DEFORMITIES

Abstract

A supporting pair of socks for disorders caused by foot deformities is provided that can be worn on daily basis and it allows comforting of foot in case of flatfoot and hallux valgus disorder.

Claims

1. A pair of supporting socks for disorders related with foot deformation comprising: a first strength zone that features big toe weaving separating a big toe from other toes of a user and extends from inner side of a foot where the big toe creates a joint with the foot, in an elliptical manner and continues in spiral direction towards an upper side of the foot with increased strength in order to transfer the strength from the sole to the curve in inner side of the foot; a second strength zone that extends towards middle parts of an outer foot of the foot by creating a curve towards an ankle and then, continuing from a peak point of the curve in the inner side of the foot in order to balance the strength by increasing inner elevation of the foot and creating the curve towards the ankle; ankle wrapping zone that wraps two bones on the ankle in a circular shape by extending over the bone bumps on ankle for balancing the strength on the force direction and force line created in the first strength zone and the second strength zone; and weaving with lower strength created by zones other than the first strength zone, the second strength zone and the ankle wrapping area.

2. The pair of socks consistent with claim 1 wherein the first strength zone, the second strength zone, the ankle wrapping area, and the weaving are all formed from a yarn.

3. The pair of socks consistent with claim 1 wherein a weaving method creates different strengths of the first strength zone, the second strength zone, the ankle wrapping area, and the weaving.

4. The pair of socks consistent with claim 1 wherein the big toe weaving has high-strength weaving that separates the big toe from the other four toes.

5. The pair of socks consistent with claim 1 wherein the ankle wrapping zone defines a socket sock.

6. The pair of socks consistent with claim 1 wherein the ankle wrapping zone defines a knee level sock.

7. The pair of socks consistent with claim 1 wherein the ankle wrapping zone defines a hip level sock.

8. The pair of socks consistent with claim 1 wherein the ankle wrapping zone defines pantyhose.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION

[0037] In this description, preferred alternative of the pair of socks (A) constituting subject matter of the invention is described without any limiting effect and for the purpose of better understanding of the concept.

[0038] FIGS. 1 and 2 provides bottom and top views of the pair of socks (A) constituting subject matter of invention. Accordingly, in its most basic form, the pair of socks (A) consists of the first strength zone (10) that is in spiral direction and pulls the strength from the sole to the curve in inner side of the foot in order to pull the elevation of the foot to upper direction; second strength zone (20) that creates a curve towards the ankle in order to balance the strength by increasing inner elevation of the foot; ankle wrapping area (30) that continues over the bone bumps on ankle for the purpose of balancing the strength; and weaving with tower strength (40) that is created by zones other than the first strength zone (10), second strength zone (20) and ankle wrapping area (30).

[0039] Any type of yarn can be used for weaving the pair of socks (A) constituting subject matter of the invention. Weaving methods creates the strength. This pair of socks can be applied to any model including socket socks, socks to the knee level, socks above the knee level, socks to the hip level, pantyhose and any other type of model.

[0040] As FIGS. 1 and 2 show, the first strength zone (10) separates big toe from other toes. Big toe weaving (11) is woven separate from the other four toes and it is performed with weaving method that creates high strength.

[0041] As FIGS. 3 and 4 show, the first strength zone (10) extends in spiral direction from inner side of the foot where big toe forms a joint with the foot to the upper part of the foot in an elliptical manner and such that strength is higher in order to pull elevation of the foot to the upper direction by transferring the strength from sole of the foot to the curve in the inner side.

[0042] The second strength zone (20), extends to the middle parts of the outer side of the foot for creating a curve towards the ankle and balancing the strength by increasing the inner elevation of the foot and then it extends from the peak point of the curve in inner side of the foot.

[0043] Ankle wrapping area (30) wraps two bones on the ankle in a circular shape by extending over the bone bumps on ankle in order to balance the strength in the force direction and force line (k) created in the first strength zone (10) and the second strength zone (20). Thus, tension force taken from the big toe is transferred from the outer side of the foot for applying pressure to the inner peak point and it lifts that part upper and big toe is separated from other toes and guided to the inner side with the effect created on big toe. Ankle wrapping zone (30) uses bone bumps on ankles as stabilizing points in order to balance this interaction of forces and allows fixation on the ankle.

[0044] Zones other than the first strength zone (10), second strength zone (20) and ankle wrapping zone (30) feature weaving with lower strength (40).
