DESCRIPTION OFINVENTION:
The invention belongs to the field of footwear - i.e. socks to be used as socks or slippers, but also to the field of the manufacturing technology of such socks, that is, slippers.
The inventor has been working with the sock manufacturing techniques for over 20 years. The problem was noticed when parents and kids visit other homes with strict hygiene rules forbidding guest to walk the premises in their shoes and the owners have no spare guest slippers. In such situations the guests would walk in socks which is rather unhygienic, because the floor dust adheres to the socks and is transferred to their shoes. The same problem exists in children's playhouses when slippers are not required. Children walk in their socks and carry the dirt from their socks into their shoes when returning home.
The second problem that the inventor solved was the removal of the risk when a person carries slippers (in a bag or so) and forgets or easily misplaces them, especially because they are not physically tied to the socks. Thus the socks were invented that may be converted into slippers and vice versa, while the slipper is permanently tied to the sock.
The third problem solved by this invention is the problem of wearing rubber boots when the upper rim of the rubber boot hits the leg during the walking and renders such walking difficult due to the unadjusted part of the rubber boot.
And, finally, in order for such a sock to be serially manufactured, the inventor designed the production process for such a sock and resolved the problem of the manufacturing procedures for such a sock, as well as the upgrade of the existing automatons - sock manufacturing machines - to render them applicable for the manufacturing of such socks. TECHNOLOGICAL STATE
Various computer operated machines for manufacturing standard socks already exist.
The inventor does not know of any sock that is both a sock and a slipper, that is, a slipper that is both a sock and a slipper. It is possible to wear two socks on one foot, one as a sock and the other as a slipper, which is a very impractical solution, because the outer sock must be taken off when you put on a shoe. One such pair would have to be carried in a pocket. When people come to places where shoes are not allowed, they usually take slippers with them. Today, there are very light and thin slippers, of a small volume, but the risk of forgetting slippers still exits. However, the innovative slipper-sock is not possible to be produced on the standard sock manufacturing machine without the necessary adjustments to such a machine. Considering this is a new and innovative sock, there is neither any procedure for the machine production of such a sock, nor the upgrading procedure for the existing sock manufacturing machines.
The procedure to produce the innovative slipper-sock explained in this invention is realized at least in the following consecutive phases: producing the basic sock, forming the fold, producing the outer layer sock, fixing the outer layer sock to the basic sock, fixing the fold to the basic sock and producing the connective elements on the outer sock. Since there are no special features in producing the basic sock, the key for this invention is the production of the outer layer sock on the standard microcontroller managed sock manufacturing machine. The parameters for the outer layer sock are determined depending on the foot size, the number of lines on the upper rim of the outer layer sock, the number of lines of the outer layer sock on the leg, the number of lines around the outer layer sock's foot, the number of lines on the outer layer sock's heel and the number of lines on the bottom rim of the outer layer sock. After the parameters of the outer layer sock have been determined, the sock is produced on the standard microcontroller managed sock manufacturing machine in the following manner: First, a line of the outer layer sock's upper rim is produced and the production of the assigned lines of the outer layer sock's upper rim is tested in the manufacturing loop. The procedure is repeated until the assigned number of lines of the outer layer sock's upper rim has been finished. After that, a single line of the outer layer sock on the leg is produced and the procedure of producing another further line of the outer layer sock's on the leg is repeated the assigned number of times. Then a single line of the outer layer sock's foot is produced on the produced part of the outer layer sock on the foot and the production of the assigned lines of the outer layer sock on the leg is tested in the manufacturing loop. The procedure of producing a further line of the outer layer sock's foot is repeated the assigned number of times. Then a single line of the outer layer sock's heel is produced on the produced part of the outer layer sock on the heel and the production of the assigned lines of the outer layer sock's heel is tested in the manufacturing loop. The last step in the production of the sock's foot is a single line of the bottom rim of the outer layer sock and the production of the assigned lines of the outer layer sock on the foot is tested in the manufacturing loop. The procedure of producing another further line of the outer layer sock on the bottom rim is repeated the assigned number of times, which ends the procedure of producing the outer sock.
This invention is an innovative slipper-sock performing both as a sock and as a slipper, whereas it comprises of at least the basic sock and the outer layer sock aligned thusly that the outer layer sock may be pulled over the basic sock, so that when the invention has the function of the sock, the outer layer sock is rolled over the leg, on the upper part only, and when the outer layer sock has the slipper function, it is pulled over the foot. Therefore, as seen on Fig. 4, when the innovative slipper-sock is on the foot in footwear, the outer layer sock is pulled over the boot, not hindering the walk. The outer layer sock's upper rim is placed above the foot and connected to the basic sock when the innovative slipper-sock is used in the form of the sock. In order to form this innovative slipper-sock aesthetically on the basic sock, there is a fold attached to the basic sock by the fold rim, so that the fold covers the spot where the outer layer sock is attached to the basic sock.ln order to avoid slipping when using the outer layer sock on the foot, the outer layer sock on its other end, opposite from the upper end of the outer layer sock, has a connective element to close, that is, open the outer layer sockon its other end to be pulled over the basic sock towards the spot where the fold is connected to the basic sock.
In order to prevent the skidding of the innovative slipper-sock when used in the form of a sock, the outer layer sock comprises of non-skid elements to prevent skidding on smooth surfaces during walking. The best option is for the non-skid elements to be in the form of crosses distributed over the bottom part of the outer layer sock by hot gluing them to the bottom part of the outer layer sock. The non-skid elements made of elastomere have proved the best, due to the high friction coefficient between them and the surface. Elastomere materials suitable for such use are rubber, silicones or plastisol.
The connective element may be realized in many ways. One option to realize the connective element is the two elements on the upper opening to pull through the band, and the bottom part of the connective element may be folded over the upper part of the connective element. It comprises of two elements of the bottom opening to pull through the band. The connective element also comprises of the connective element of the band so that the outer layer sock may be closed when the connective element of the band is pulled through both elements of the upper opening, while the bottom part of the connective element is simultaneously folded over the upper part of the connective element so that there is one element of the bottom opening over each element of the upper opening. One end of the connective element of the band, exiting each of the upper opening's element is pulled through the appropriate element of the bottom opening and that the ends of the connective element of the band, are attached together over the bottom part of the connective element. The fastening of the connective element of the band is best realized by a spirally formed rubber bandwhen its ends are connected, one end of the band tied with the other end of the connective element.
The other option for the connective element is a Velcro strip on the upper and the bottom part of the connective element. The connective element is realized so that the upper portion of the connective element is on the upper side, while the inner side of the bottom connective element is the bottom Velcro strip, placed so that the bottom portion of the connective element may fold over the upper portion of the connective element and that the connective element closes with the Velcro strip. Thus, the connective element has the first part of the connective element and the second part of the connective element that is positioned one opposite the other when the outer layer sock is not pulled over the foot. The first part of the connective element is on the front of the leg, the second part of the connective element on the back of the leg. This innovative slipper-sock comprises of only the outer layer sock, when its front end, toes, has the opening large enough to pull the outer layer sock from the human leg over the foot and the toes, towards the end of the outer layer sock otherwise placed on the shin of the human leg.
Furthermore, the front end of the outer layer sock may comprise of a connective element to close that end of the outer layer sock. The connective element on this innovative slipper-sock is realized so that it contains two connective elements of the upper openings in the upper part, and in the bottom part connective elements to be folded over the upper connective element with two bottom opening elements to pu!l the band through. The connective element also comprises of the connective element of the band so that the outer layer sock may be closed when the connective element of the band is pulled through both elements of the upper opening, while the bottom part of the connective element is simultaneously folded over the upper part of the connective element and there is one element of the bottom opening over each element of the upper opening and one end of the connective element of the band, exiting each of the upper opening's element, is pulled through the appropriate element of the bottom opening and that the ends of the connective element of the band are tied together over the bottom part of the connective element.
Also, the connective element may be executed with female and male snap fasteners. This comprises of the upper part of the connecting element, two female snap fasteners, two male snap fasteners and the bottom connecting element, when the connective element is realized so that the upper part of the connecting element contains two male snap fasteners on the upper side placed in the line perpendicular to the toe direction, while on the inner side of the bottom part of the connecting element there are two female snap fasteners placed so that the appropriate female snap fastener may receive the appropriate male snap fastener, and that this innovative slipper-sock may be closed at its bottom where the connective element is placed.

The procedure to manufacture the innovative slipper-sock 1 is realized on the standard microcontroller-managed sock manufacturing machine, with programmable choice of producing the following parts of the innovative slipper-sock 1 : producing the basic sock 800 and producing the outer layer sock 810. The procedure of joining the basic parts of the innovative slipper-sock, that is, the basic sock 800 and the outer layer sock 810, is done manually, with the sewing machine. The phases are done in the following order: producing the basic sock 800 and producing the outer layer sock 810, pulling over the basic sock on the form 65,820, pulling over and adjusting the outer layer sock onto the basic sock on the form 65,830, removing the aligned outer layer sock and the basic sock from the form 65,840, fixing of the outer layer sock on the basic sock 850 and producing the connective elements on the outer layer sock 860, in the standard option by sewing the Velcro strip 423,443. This finalizes the procedure to manufacture 870 the innovative slipper-sock .
Another version of the procedure to produce the innovative slipper-sock in regard to the sequence of the phases is to begin with the production of the outer layer sock 8 0, and follow by producing the basic sock 800.
Yet another version may be, in case the sock production is organized on more microcontroller-managed sock manufacturing machines, the parallel production on two such machines, the outer sock 810 on one and the the basic sock 800 on another such machine.
The procedure of producing the outer layer sock 30 is done on the standard microcontroller-managed sock manufacturing machine, when the parameters for the outer layer sock 8200 are set first, depending on the foot size, the number of lines on the upper rim of the outer layer sock 310, the number of lines of the outer layer sock on the leg 320, the number of lines around the outer layer sock's foot 330, the number of lines of the outer layer sock's heel 340 and the number of lines of the bottom rim of the outer layer sock 310. Then a line of the outer layer sock's upper rim 8202 is produced and the production of the assigned lines of the outer layer sock's upper rim is tested in the manufacturing loop 8204. The procedure of producing 8202 another further line of the outer layer sock's upper rim 310 is repeated the assigned number of times. The production of a single line of the outer layer sock on the leg 8212 and the procedure of producing 8212 another further line of the outer layer sock's on the leg 320 is repeated the assigned number of times. Then a single line of the outer layer sock's foot 8220 is produced on the produced part of the outer layer sock on the foot 320 and the production of the assigned lines of the outer layer sock on the leg is tested in the manufacturing loop 8224. The procedure of producing 8220 another further line of the outer layer sock's foot 330 is repeated the assigned number of times. Then a single line of the outer layer sock's heel 8230 is produced 8230 on the produced part of the outer layer sock on the heel 330 and the production of the assigned lines of the outer layer sock's heel is tested in the manufacturing loop 8232. The procedure of producing 8230 another further line of the outer layer sock's heel 340 is repeated the assigned number of times. Then a single line of the bottom rim of the outer layer sock 8240 is produced 8240 on the produced part of the outer layer sock on the foot 330 and the production of the assigned lines of the outer layer sock on the foot are tested in the manufacturing loop 8242. The procedure of producing 8240 another further line of the outer layer sock on the foot 350 is repeated the assigned number of times which ends the procedure of producing the outer sock 8260.
One further version is when, after the production of the portion of the outer layer sock around the foot 330, one line of the outer layer sock's heel is produced at the bottom render on the toes (heel, toes) 8250. Then the production loop is tested whether the n assigned lines of the outer sock's heel on the bottom render on toes (heel, toes) 8252 have been produced. The procedure of the production of one line of the outer layer sock's heel at the bottom render on toes 8250 is repeated until the assigned number of lines for the outer layer's heel at the bottom render on toes (heel, toes) 360 is done.
The innovative slipper-sock is manufactured by the procedure described above, that is, it is the result of the aforementioned procedure.
Regarding the procedure to adjust the microcontroller-managed sock manufacturing machine, it is done in the standard manner to adjust or change the settings to produce socks on the sock manufacturing machine, so that the outer layer sock with the characteristic outer sock's heel may be done at the bottom render on toes (heel, toes) 360, as well as the bottom rim of the outer layer sock 350. The innovative slipper-sock is realized so that the typical procedure begins with the production of the basic sock 10, as any other common sock. Then the outer layer sock 30 is pulled over the basic sock and connected by sewing along the upper rim of the outer layer sock 36 to the basic sock 10 so that the other end of the outer layer sock 30 is open to be pulled over the foot. For the aesthetic form of the invention, non-skid elements 34 are hot glued on the bottom part of the outer layer sock 32. The best non-skid elements 34 are made of elastomere, silicone as best. Then the elements of the upper opening 422 and the element of the bottom opening 442 in the form of a metal ring for the rubber band are pressed into the outer layer sock 30. The connective element 450 is a rubber band or a shoe lace, spirally formed, which is then pulled though the upper and bottom openings 422,442. Thusly, the produced connective element 40 is closed by tying one end of the band around the other 452,454.
Another version is with the connective element of a Velcro strip 423,443.
Yet another version of the innovative slipper-sock is when the connective element 40 is done with female snap fasteners 460 and male snap fasteners 462. This version of the connecting element 40 comprises of the upper part of the connecting element 421 , two female snap fasteners 460, two male snap fasteners 462 and the bottom connecting element 441 , when the connective element 40 is realized so that the upper part of the connecting element 421 contains the two male snap fasteners 462 on the upper side placed in the line perpendicular to the toe direction, while on the inner side of the bottom part of the connecting element 441 there are two female snap fasteners 460 placed so that the appropriate female snap fastener 460 may receive the appropriate male snap fastener 462, and that this innovative slipper-sock be closed at its bottom where the connective element 40 is placed.
