Description

SOCKET DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a sock, especially to be used in sports activities, with a cane and a foot part comprising a toe area and a heel area, and a tread zone that is located between the area of the fingers and the heel area, and that is provided with a bandage. Particularly during sports activities the feet of the human being are usually surrounded by socks. To obtain a good form of adjustment of the foot sock it is known to provide bandages in the form of toric rings in socks and stockings (compare, for example, US 5 617 745). However, these are configured symmetrically surrounding parallel to the longitudinal center line of the sock. In the case of the movements of running and jumping, the foot undergoes a greater effort, particularly in the area of the talo-calcaneal joint. The foot has the natural function of bending inwards to cushion an impact. This function is called pronation. After landing with the outer side of the sole, the effort is shifted a little towards the inside, so that the longitudinal arch of the foot can sink and thereby absorb a part of the impact. However, the foot of the human being can be configured in different ways It differs between normal foot, hollow foot or falciform foot as well as flat foot. The normal foot shows a balanced foot arch. When walking and running, touch the ground first with the outer side of the heel. Then roll in to absorb and cushion the impact of the foot. This is designated as natural pronation. The hollow and falciform feet preponderantly do not bend inward in the landing phase, leaving predominantly a footprint in the front and back of the foot. This is designated as infra-pronation or supination. With infra-pronation the natural protection against impact of the foot is greatly reduced. In contrast, flat feet have a very low foot arch and leave a complete footprint. The flat feet bend strongly towards the inner side after the laying phase. This is called supra-pronation. In addition, the movement apparatus may be subjected to stresses in the area of the foot joints due to defective leg positions that are usually referred to as "O-legs" and "X" legs. Both those suffering from supra-pronation as well as those suffering from under-pronation, as well as people with defective leg positions suffer from the small amount of natural damping. By this the foot undergoes an exceptional effort. For supporting the tendons and ligaments of the movement apparatus around the talo-calcaneal joint is known as bandaging the foot. The bandage is rolled horizontally in the lower area of the tibia around the ankle, before the sock is placed on the foot. This winding, on the one hand, only produces insufficient stabilization and support of the movement apparatus and the talo-calcaneal joint, and on the other hand special forms of effort in the case of under-pronation and supra-pronation are not taken into account. Additionally, the bandage under the sock bulges a lot, due to which the comfort is reduced when wearing it. It is in this aspect that the invention wants to remedy. The object of the invention is to create a sock supporting the movement device in the area of the talocalcoccal joint and which is designed especially for the exceptional efforts in the case of infra and supra-pronation as well as a defective position of the legs. In accordance with the invention this problem is solved because the bandage is placed in the area of the talocalco-acoustic joint and consists of at least one bridge and at least one ring. With the invention a sock is created, in particular for sports activities that supports the apparatus of movement in the area of Astragalocalcaneal articulation and which is designed especially for exceptional efforts in the case of infra and supra-pronation or defective positions of the legs. For this reason, the bandage extends in the area of the talocalcaneal joint in order to obtain a support function adapted to the case of respective effort. In refinement of the invention, the ring extends asymmetrically in the shaft. By this, in particular, an ankle support is created and consequently an improvement of the support effect. In a further development of the invention, the ring extends over the tread zone. By this a fixation is created also under the ankle of the foot, which creates additional support for the talo-calcaneal joint. Favorably the bridge extends over the instep. Through this configuration there is the possibility to allow an exceptional fixation in combination with the ring. Here, too, good support is created in the case of sports activities. Additionally the problem is solved by the fact that the bandage consists of two rings that extend through the tread zone. By this a sock is created, in particular for sports activities, which it also supports the movement apparatus in the area of the talocalcaneal joint and is specially designed for exceptional efforts in the case of infra or supra-pronation or defective position of the legs. In addition, by using two mutually combined rings a stronger bandage is possible. Preferably the rings are placed superimposed on the tread area. By this a two-layer bandage is possible in the tread zone which allows an additionally improved support function. Other improvements and other configurations of the invention are specified in the remaining subordinate claims. Exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawing, which are individually described below. They show: Figure 1 a) a c) a sock with bandage seen from the outer side of the foot as well as the view of the pair of socks from behind; Figure 2 a) to c) a bandage sock seen from the outer side of the foot as well as the view of the pair of socks from behind in additional configuration; Figure 3 a) to c) a bandage sock seen from the outer side of the foot as well as the view of the pair of socks from behind in additional configuration; Figure a) to c) a bandage sock seen from the outer side of the foot as well as the view of the pair of socks from behind in additional configuration; Figure 5 a) and b) a bandage sock seen from the outer side of the foot as well as the rear view in additional configuration; Figure 6 a) and b) a bandage sock seen from the outer side of the foot as well as the rear view in additional configuration; Figure 7 a) and b) a bandage sock seen from the outer side of the foot as well as the rear view in additional configuration. The sock that is selected as an example of embodiment consists of a standing part 1 and a shank 2. The standing part 1 comprises a finger area 11, a heel zone 12 and a tread zone 13 located between the area of the fingers and the heel, as well as an instep area 14. The zones 11, 12 and 13 can be produced from reinforced material, as shown in the exemplary embodiment. It is also possible to use combinations of material such as, for example, pure wool with elastomeric materials. The rod 2 is provided with a waistband 21 at its end remote from the foot part 1. In the area of the talocalcoccal joint the sock is provided with a bandage 3. The bandage 3 is constituted by an elastic fabric and also climate regulator. Preferably elastane, lycra or other materials of different extension capacity are used. Generally bandage 3 is surrounding and interwoven with the tissue that constitutes the sock. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 6, it is formed by a bridge 31 and a ring 32. The bridge 31 extends, when surrounding the foot, from the ankle "K" to the ankle "K" on the side external. At the end of the bridge 31 the ring 32 is added in the area of the ankles, which in the embodiment examples according to figures 1 to 6 encloses the cane 2 of the sock and extends substantially over its circumference. Both the bridge 31 and the ring 32 have the same width as well as the same thickness of material in the embodiments according to figures 1 to 6. The ring 32 is arranged asymmetrically. This results in an inclined arrangement of the ring 32 from the inner and outer upper side towards the inner and outer lower side in the bead area. The ring 32 extends at choice above the ankle "K", either on the outside of the foot or on the inside of the foot (figures 1 and 2). In variation of these embodiment examples it is also possible to provide a combination of two rings 32 that extend asymmetrically (figures 3 and 4). Then the rings 32 extend above and below the ankle "K" both on the outer side of the foot as well as on the inner side of the foot. Between the rings that extend above and below the ankle creates a free space that constitutes a control zone. By this the ankle is surrounded by rings. By this, the support function is further improved. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 5 and 6, the ring 32 extends over the foot tread zone 13. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 5, the ring extends from the tread zone 13 through the area of the Achilles tendon. In this way the ring encloses the heel. The bridge 31 extends at the transition between the area 14 of the instep and the shank 2. The free ends of the bridge 31 are arranged in the ring 32. In the exemplary embodiment according to figure 6 a bridge arrangement 31 is proposed. and of the ring 32 which is inverse in comparison to that of the exemplary embodiment according to figure 5. Here the bridge 31 extends above the heel zone 12 in the area of the Achilles heel; the ring 32 encloses the sock when extending from the tread zone to the transition of the area 14 of the instep and the shaft 2. By the configurations according to the embodiment examples according to FIGS. 5 and 6, a further variation of the support function is possible. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 7, the sock also consists of a standing part 1 and a shank 2. The standing part 1 comprises a finger area 11, a heel area 12 and a tread zone 13 which it is located between the finger and heel areas as well as an area 14 of the instep. The zones 11, 12 and 13 can be produced from reinforced material, as shown in the exemplary embodiment. It is also possible to use material combinations. The rod 2 is provided with a waistband 21 at its end remote from the foot part 1. In the area of the talo-calcaneal joint the sock is provided with a bandage 3. The bandage 3 consists of two rings 33, 34 that extend through the tread zone 13. The ring 33 extends from the tread area 13 to the Achilles tendon area and thereby surrounds the heel. The ring 34 extends from the tread zone 13 to the transition zone of the instep area 14 and the rod 2. It therefore extends substantially over the anterior foot. The rings 33 and 34 are arranged superimposed in the tread area 13. By this either a duplication of the material is created in the superimposition zone or the rings are interwoven with each other in the tread zone, so that a uniform structure but nonetheless more resistant. By this, another additional increase in the support function is created. Although socks are mentioned in the description and the claims, the invention is not limited to these only; rather, this concept also includes socks, pantyhose and the like to which the invention also refers.
