Garment

Abstract

A garment is provided with a main part which consists of a front body section, a back body section and sleeves extending from front and back body sections toward both arm sides over shoulders, and a pair of first tightening parts separately placed in right and left areas located at the positions of right and left deltoid muscles covering the boundary of the wearer's shoulder and upper arm in the back side, wherein the front and back body sections and the upper arm sections of the sleeves comprise at least two kinds of stretch materials, which differ in stretchability from each other, including a material for the main part and a material for the first tightening parts having a lower stretchability than the main part.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to garments, in particular, to a garment capable of holding a posture in which the chest is elevated and the back is straightened and capable of improving a body function by simply being worn, and particularly suitably used as an undershirt.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Various types of inner wears for correcting a posture or for supporting and assisting the movement of the muscles during exercise and during walking are conventionally provided.[0003]In the posture correcting garment of Japanese Patent Publication No. 2006-320640 (patent document 1), a tension section having a shape of a laterally facing letter H, including tension parts 100, 102 separately located in left and right horizontal directions at an upper part and a lower part on a neck side and a tension part 102 for coupling middles of the upper and lower tension parts 100, 101 is attached to an inner surface of a main body 105. It describes that left and right...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0013]Furthermore, the tension section does not cover from the shoulder to the sleeve so as not to inhibit the movement of the deltoid muscles to widen the movable range of the shoulder joint, but if the arm drops forward at the time of fatigue and the like, the deltoid muscles may adduct and the left and right scapulae may be pulled by the deltoid muscles so as to easily be in a left and right widening direction as the tension section is not provided between the shoulder joints. In such a case, it is difficult to expand the left and right scapulaes to improve a posture unless the force of pulling the left and right scapulae to each other is made stronger by the tension section. If the force of the tension section is made stronger to improve a posture, however, the tightening feeling at the upper region of the back may further increase.

[0101]According to the set garment of the second aspect of the invention, the center of gravity of the lower body can be stabilized with the bottom garment, and hence the walking posture can be induced to a straight and correct posture together with the top garment. Furthermore, the femoral area can be pushed forward and the walking is aided, so that the step increases at the time of walking and the swing of the hands to the back side can be made large with the top garment, whereby the walking posture can be aided to the correct posture with a large step and a large swing of the hands.

Problems solved by technology

In such a case, it is difficult to expand the left and right scapulaes to improve a posture unless the force of pulling the left and right scapulae to each other is made stronger by the tension section.
