Sports sock

Abstract

A knitted sports garment ( 10 ) to be worn on a limb and for protecting a body part. The garment is made of an ordinary textile material and a cut resistive material and includes at least one first protection section ( 14 ) only including cut resistive material joined with at least one adjacent section ( 12, 16 ) with ordinary textile material. The cut resistive material of the first protection section is knit with stitches forming a number of full loops for encircling the limb when the garment is worn, where each stitch in the protection section is formed using at least two yarns, while the adjacent section with ordinary textile material is knit using fewer yarns in each stitch.

1 . A knitted sports garment to be worn on a limb and for protecting a body part, said garment comprising a textile material and a cut resistive material, the garment including at least one first protection section only including cut resistive material joined with at least one adjacent section with the textile material, characterised in that:
 the cut resistive material of the first protection section is knit with stitches forming a number of full turns adapted to encircle the limb when the garment is worn, where each stitch in the first protection section is formed using at least two yarn, and   the adjacent section with the textile material is knit using fewer yarns in each stitch.   
     
     
         2 . The garment according to  claim 1 , wherein the first protection section covers a larger area than an area of the limb to be protected. 
     
     
         3 . The garment according to  claim 1 , wherein the yarn of the cut resistive material is made of fibres having a thickness in the range of 30-70 Nm. 
     
     
         4 . The garment according to  claim 1 , wherein the cut resistive material has a tensile strength in the range of 3-7 GPa. 
     
     
         5 . The garment according to  claim 1 , wherein the cut resistive material has a density in the range of 1.38-1.47 g/cm3. 
     
     
         6 . The garment according to  claim 1 , wherein the tenacity of the cut resistive material is in the range of 80-160 cN/tex. 
     
     
         7 . The garment according to  claim 1 , wherein the first protection section is provided in-between sections of the textile material. 
     
     
         8 . The garment according to  claim 7 , wherein the turns of the first protection section are wider than at least the closest turns of the adjacent sections of the textile material. 
     
     
         9 . The garment according to  claim 1 , further comprising a second protection section with a patch of cut resistive material sewn or stitched onto a section of the textile material. 
     
     
         10 . The garment according to  claim 1 , wherein the cut resistive material is a para-aramid. 
     
     
         11 . (canceled)
