ATHLETIC GARMENT ASSEMBLY
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
Field of the Disclosure
The disclosure relates to garment devices and more particularly pertains to a
new
garment device for cushioning a user's heel.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally
comprising a sock that may be worn by a user. A cushion is positioned on the
sock such
that the cushion may be aligned with the user's heel when the user wears the
sock. The
cushion is comprised of a resiliently compressible material. Thus, the cushion
absorbs
impact energy from the user's heel when the user wears the sock thereby
enhancing
physical comfort of the user's heel.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of
the
disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be
better
understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be
better appreciated.
There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described
hereinafter and
which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty
which
characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims
annexed to and
forming a part of this disclosure.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set
forth
above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following
detailed
description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings
wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of an athletic garment assembly according to an
embodiment of the disclosure.
Figure 2 is a left side view of an embodiment of the disclosure.
Figure 3 is a back perspective view of an embodiment of the disclosure.
Figure 4 is a cross sectional view taken along line 4-4 of figure 3 of an
embodiment of the disclosure.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to Figures 1 through 4
thereof, a new garment device embodying the principles and concepts of an
embodiment
of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be
described.
As best illustrated in Figures 1 through 4, the athletic garment assembly 10
generally comprises a sock 12 that has a foot portion 14 and a leg portion 16.
The foot
portion 14 has a heel section 18 and the sock 12 is substantially hollow. The
leg portion
16 has a top end 19 and the top end 19 is open. Thus, the top end 19 may
inseilably
receive a foot 20 of a user 22 such that a heel 24 of the user 22 is aligned
with the heel
section 18. The heel section 18 has an inner surface 26 and an outer surface
28. The sock
12 may comprise an athletic sock or the like.
A cushion 30 is provided and the cushion 30 is positioned on the sock 12. The
cushion 30 is positioned between the inner surface 26 and the outer surface 28
such that

CA 02934338 2016-06-29
the cushion 30 is aligned with the user's heel 24 when the user 22 wears the
sock 12. The
cushion 30 is comprised of a resiliently compressible material such as a
polyurethane gel
elastomer or the like. Thus, the cushion 30 absorbs impact energy from the
user's heel 24
when the user 22 wears the sock 12. Thus, the cushion 30 enhances physical
comfort of
the user's heel 24.
In use, the user 22 wears the sock 12 when the user 22 is going to participate
in
activities that involve running and jumping. The cushion 30 absorbs impact
from running
and jumping such that user's heel 24 does not become sore. The sock 12 is
washed when
the sock 12 becomes dirty.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the
optimum
dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the
disclosure, to
include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of
operation,
assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in
the art, and
all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and
described in the
specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the
disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles
of the
disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily
occur to
those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the
exact construction
and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications
and
equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In
this patent
document, the word "comprising" is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that
items
following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not
excluded.
A reference to an element by the indefinite article "a" does not exclude the
possibility that
more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires
that there be
only one of the elements.
