Definitions

  • This disclosure relates to the field of footwear garments, referred to as “socks.” More particularly, the disclosure relates to socks work during cleaning.
  • Footwear garments known in the art include a “Waterproof breathable sock”, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,809,447, which discloses footwear where the uppermost part thereof is made of breathable (moisture permeable) material.
  • the sock disclosed in the '477 patent does not have specifically arranged breathing holes at the wrist and calf or in other limited areas. In the disclosed sock the material in itself is breathable.
  • the disclosed waterproof breathable sock in the '477 patent is not meant to address the need for a watertight sock for use in floor cleaning.
  • Sole coated toe sock United States Patent Application Publication No. 2012/00900077 A1 discloses a breathable sock for use when “running barefoot”, i.e., without shoes.
  • the disclosed sock does not have specifically located breathing holes by the wrist and calf or in other limited areas.
  • the disclosed sole coated toe sock is not designed to address the need for a watertight sock for use in floor cleaning.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of an example embodiment of a sock according to the present disclosure.
  • the disclosure relates to a watertight sock with vent holes for use in floor cleaning.
  • the objective technical problem to be solved is how to provide footwear suitable for floor cleaning, preventing water, soap, and chemicals from getting in direct contact with skin and textiles on a foot.
  • the sock may also be used for other activities such as floor painting or floor oiling.
  • the sock is made from soft and pliable material such as rubber, nitrile or latex in such a way that it may easily be tread on the foot.
  • the sock may be reused several times.
  • vent holes are arranged in specific areas by the wrist and the calf such that the sock does not accumulate humidity when used. It is also feasible to have vent holes in other specific locations such as around the calf, at the backside of the calf, at the ankle, at the Achilles heel, and on the heel.
  • a tightening mechanism may be located for rapid treading of the sock, and or snug fit on the foot.
  • the sock may be wide enough in some embodiments to make room for a trouser leg within the sock, and the trouser leg thereby not getting wet.
  • Anti-skid material arranged under the sock will provide that the sock will not skid, thus protecting the user.
  • a curving between toes and heel provides that the sock fits snugly on the foot.
  • the inside of the sock in one embodiment is flossy such that it may easily be pulled up on the outside of clothes.
  • FIG. 1 shows the sock with specific location of vent holes by the wrist ( 1 ), vent holes by the calf ( 2 ), tightening means at the calf ( 3 ), tightening means by the ankle ( 4 ), and anti-skid material under the sock at the toe balls ( 5 ), and at the heel ( 6 ), and curving under the foot ( 7 ), and wide shape at the calf ( 8 ).
  • the sock can be manufactured by dipping adapted model feet in latex, rubber, or nitrile, and thereafter it is sprayed with finely chopped cotton or another material on the inside, and vulcanized such that it becomes elastic.
  • the sock may be manufactured in one integral unit with breathing holes and elastic latex material and anti-skid in strategic areas, or some parts may be produced separately.
  • the sock may be manufactured in different colors, patterns, and sizes.
