ITMI981352A1 - SOCKS ESPECIALLY OF THE MODELING EFFECT TIGHTS TYPE FOR SLIM AND STRAIGHT LEGS - Google Patents

Description

DESCRIPTION

The present invention relates to a stocking, particularly of the tights type, with a modeling effect.

In recent years, knitted hosiery or underwear capable of exerting a modeling effect on the wearer have experienced growing success.

Generally, the modeling effect is obtained in garments such as underpants or pantyhose, also called stockings-underpants, in the area of the underpants, providing compression zones, with a more rigid or in any case less yielding processing than the remaining part of the product, so such as to effectively carry out a containment or displacement action on the parts of the body that are affected by these areas.

However, the need to obtain corrective modeling is also felt for other parts, such as the legs.

In stockings currently on the market, the modeling effect is obtained almost exclusively by means of compression zones with circular development which constrict the body part concerned, very often causing discomfort to the user.

The aim of the present invention is precisely to provide a stocking, in particular of the tights type, which effectively performs a modeling action on the legs, making them more slender, tapered and straight, without causing discomfort.

Within this aim, an object of the invention is to provide a sock that can be produced with modern circular hosiery machines available on the market.

Another object of the invention is to provide a sock that can be produced at competitive costs.

This task, as well as these and other purposes which will appear better later, are achieved by a stocking, particularly of the pantyhose type, characterized in that it comprises: an external lateral compression band extending substantially for the whole area of the thigh and leg and in the plantar zone of the foot, a rear calf compression zone connected to said external lateral band and an internal lateral traction band extending substantially for the whole thigh zone and connected to said rear compression zone.

Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become clearer from the description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of the sock according to the invention, illustrated, by way of non-limiting example, in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a worn perspective view of a stocking according to the invention, of the pantyhose type;

Figure 2 shows a portion of the sock according to the invention seen from the outside;

Figure 3 shows a portion of the sock according to the invention seen from the inside;

Figure 4 illustrates the front region of the panty of the stocking according to the invention;

Figure 5 illustrates the rear region of the panty of the stocking according to the invention.

With reference to the aforementioned figures, the stocking according to the invention, generally indicated by the reference number 1, is preferably constituted by a stocking-pant or pantyhose.

According to the invention, the stocking comprises:

- an external lateral compression band 2 which extends substantially over the entire area of the thigh and leg and in the area of the plantar of the foot,

-a posterior compression zone 3 of the calf which is connected to the external lateral band 2;

-an internal lateral traction band 4 which extends substantially for the whole thigh area and which is connected to the rear compression area 3.

Conveniently, on the inner side of the calf there is a zone with increased yielding 5 which has the function of receiving part of the calf which is moved towards this zone by the combined action of the bands 2 and 4 and of the rear compression zone 3.

The sock is completed by an anatomical pant, globally indicated with the reference number 6.

More specifically, the external lateral band 2, which grips the plantar area, exerts a strong pressure which acts on the structure of the leg for the entire time that the sock is worn, helping to correct the imperfections of the calf.

The posterior compression zone 3 modifies the position of the lower arm by shaping the leg and the internal lateral band 4 acts in traction by correcting the position of the calf, without constrictions, while the zone 5 accommodates the volume deriving from the displacement of the calf operated by bands 2 and 4 and from zone 3.

Preferably, the outer side band 2, the inner side band 4 and the rear zone 3 are made with a 1 to 1 knit processing, alternating every four rows of knitting, which affects each row.

More particularly, in the execution of the sock according to the invention with a single-cylinder circular machine for hosiery with four feeds or feeds, at each revolution of the needle cylinder, the external side band 2, the internal side band 4 and the rear area 3 are made alternating an unloaded stitch and a retained stitch for four rows, ie for the four machine feeds, and inverting the position of the retained stitches with that of the unloaded stitches in the subsequent four stitches.

The remainder of the sock is made almost entirely of plain knit.

The zone with increased yielding 5 is made of enlarged smooth mesh, that is, with mesh loops of increased length, with respect to the remaining part of the product worked in smooth mesh.

The rear region 3 is preferably connected to the upper and lower contiguous knitting regions through regions of gradually decreasing compression.

More particularly, starting from zone 3, the following is envisaged: a first zone 7, which is made with 1 to i knitting, alternating every four rows of knits, which involves three consecutive rows of knits every four rows of knits while the fourth row is made of plain knit, a second zone β, which is made with a 1 to 1 restrained knit, alternating every four rows of knitting, which involves two consecutive rows of knits every four rows of knits while the other two ranks are made of smooth knit, and a third zone 9 which is made with a restrained knitting 1a 1, alternating every four rows of knitting, which involves one row of knitting every four rows of knitting while the other three rows are made of plain knit.

Preferably the heel area 20 is made with 1 to 1 restrained knitting, alternating every four rows of knitting, which involves two consecutive rows every four rows of knitting while the other two rows are made of plain knit.

The anatomical panty 6 has under-buttock areas 10 with increased compression preferably made with a 1 to 1 workmanship held fixed in alternate rows, i.e. involving one row of knit every two rows while the other row is made of plain knit, and the 11 buttock area is made of smooth knit.

The lateral-rear areas 12 of the panty are preferably made with a 1 to 1 restrained process, alternating every four rows of knitting, which affects each row so as to carry out a modeling containing action.

The outer side band 2 is connected to this zone 12.

The rear-upper regions 13 of the panty are preferably made with a 1 to 1 restrained process, alternating every two rows.

which affects one rank of knit every two ranks, while the other rank is made of plain knit.

In correspondence with the belly, the pant has an increased compression zone 14 preferably made with a 1 to 1 knit knitting, alternating every four rows of knitting, which affects each row of knitting.

The inner side band 4 is connected to this zone 14.

The side-front areas 15 of the pant are preferably made with a 1 to 1 fixed knit with alternate ranks, that is, involving one row out of two, the other row being made of plain knit.

For the sake of completeness of description, it must be said that the panty 6 has, at the top, a wide elastic or strap 16 to ensure a perfect seal.

Purely as an indication, a 195 dtex single-covered 33/10/1 1050 spire elastomer yarn can be used to make the strap 16, a single-covered 156 dtex elastomer yarn 33/10/11050 can be used to make the pant 6 coils, a 78 dtex single-covered elastomer yarn 22/17/12200 coils can be used to make the legs. The tips of the feet, the strap 16 and the pant 6 can be reinforced with a textured 33/20/2 nylon yarn.

In practice it has been found that the stocking according to the invention fully achieves the intended aim, since, thanks to its particular structure, it achieves a correction and remodeling of the legs, particularly in the calf area, without any sensitive constraints for the user.

The sock thus conceived is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the inventive concept; moreover, all the details can be replaced by other technically equivalent elements.

In practice, the materials used, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to the requirements and the state of the art.
