Benefits of technology

[0007]It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a pants garment which supports the motion of the leg with a good balance.
[0030]In still another implementation of the present invention, it is desirable that the garment has a hem part formed in a portion corresponding to the area above the knee, and that at least either the lower end of the front thigh elastic band member or the lower end of the back thigh elastic band member is located at the hem part. Furthermore, it is desirable that the upper part of the front thigh elastic band member and the upper part of the back thigh elastic band member are connected in a portion corresponding to the side part of the pelvic region, and that the lower part of the front thigh elastic band member and the lower part of the back thigh elastic band member are connected in a portion corresponding to the lower part of the inside of the thigh. As a result of the formation of such connections, tension is mutually applied to the front thigh elastic band member and back thigh elastic band member, so that the supporting effect of the thigh muscles is increased, and the hip joints can be supported.

Problems solved by technology

In the case of the pants garment disclosed in Reference 1, it is difficult to support these other motions, even if bending and stretching motions can be supported.

Abstract

A pants garment has a pair of thigh leg members for covering the thigh area of a wearer. A front thigh elastic band member is provided substantially at a front side of each of the thigh leg members and extends obliquely from an upper front portion to a lower front portion of each thigh leg member. A back thigh elastic band member is provided substantially at a back side of each of the thigh leg members and extends obliquely from an upper back portion to a lower back portion of each thigh leg member. The garment also has a front and back crus elastic band members extending obliquely on crus leg members, which cover the crus areas of the wearer.

Description

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE[0001]The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-110882 filed on Apr. 15, 2003 and U.S. Provisional Application Ser.
