Socks

Abstract

The modified sock can be used by hikers, campers and other individuals who enjoy the outdoors but want to maintain dry, clean socks. A hole or holes is placed in the top portion of the sock so that the person can air out the sock by simply attaching the socks to a backpack during outdoor activities. The hole will have a grommet that will be reinforced to withstand the washing and general wear and tear that is placed on a sock and still maintain its general shape and function.

         1 . A sock which is comprised of:
 an opening;   said opening is proximate to the opening of the sock;   a grommet;   wherein the grommet is a predetermined shape and size;   wherein the grommet is constructed from durable material;   wherein the area around the grommet is reinforced.   
     
     
         2 . The sock as described in  claim 1  wherein the grommet is made from hard plastic. 
     
     
         3 . The sock as described in  claim 1  wherein the grommet is made from rubber.
