Compressive composite elastic stocking

#The present invention refers to an improved compressive composite elastic stocking.

#It must be specified that in this description, with the term “stocking” are meant actual hosiery such as stockings, tights, socks, etc., with a closed toe or with an open toe.

#Moreover, the term stocking of the “elastic” type indicates stockings, as specified above, with different degrees of compression, for example determined by the greater or lesser presence of elastomeric threads and/or natural rubber, in combination with cotton, polyamide, polyester and other types of fibres.

#The characteristics and advantages of a compressive composite elastic stocking which is easier to put on according to the present invention will become clearer from the following description, given as an example and not for limiting purposes, referring to the attached schematic drawings wherein:

#FIG. 1 is an elevation view of a knee sock with its component parts exploded,

#FIG. 2 is a side elevation view of the stocking of FIG. 1 when applied to the lower part of a leg, to realise a knee sock,

#With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, a compressive composite elastic stocking which is easier to put on is shown in a first embodiment thereof in two parts 11 and 12.

#A first part 11 is suitable for covering the foot and the lower part of the shin and a second part 12 is suitable for covering the remaining part of the shin up to close to the knee.

#Each part 11, 12 has one of its ends 13, 14 facing the other with a degree of compression which is about half of that of the parts 11, 12 constituting the stocking.
