Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to clothing. Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, clothing that has a posture-correcting function by increasing pressure on the wearer has been developed (for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] The clothes disclosed in Patent Document 1 include a base fabric, an annular elastic member extending in an annular shape along each armhole portion on the left and right sides of the base fabric, and a back elastic member extending transversely on the back of the base fabric and connecting the left and right annular elastic members to each other. The annular elastic member is formed of elastic yarn or a rubber band. In addition, the back elastic member is formed of elastic yarn or a rubber sheet. The clothes having this structure are connected with the annular elastic member by the back elastic member, and the shoulder near the base of the upper arm of the wearer is pulled backward, thereby correcting the chest of the wearer to a chest-up posture.

[0004] In addition, in recent years, the number of people who want to strengthen their muscles has increased. The muscles that are the target of strengthening muscle strength also include the muscles on the back side such as the deltoid muscle and the latissimus dorsi muscle. Moreover, when it is desired to strengthen muscle strength as described above, it is effective to apply a load to the muscles described above not only during exercise but also in a state where no exercise is performed.

[0005] The clothing disclosed in Patent Document 1 can also apply a load to the muscles on the back side of the wearer by means of the back elastic member and the annular elastic member, and therefore is also considered to effectively enhance the muscle strength of the wearer.

[0006] However, the clothes disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 are not sufficient to effectively enhance the muscle strength of the wearer. Specifically, the front piece and the back piece constituting the base fabric of the previous clothes, including the clothes disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, are joined at the shoulders and the two armpits. Therefore, the annular elastic member of the clothes disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 is formed on the base fabric in a state of crossing the joining portion. The joining portion of the previous clothes has a low degree of elongation relative to the base fabric, resulting in the tension elastic force transmitted along the extension direction of the annular elastic member being dispersed at the joining portion of the base fabric in the shoulder, so that a sufficient load cannot be applied to the muscles of the wearer.

[0009] Patent Document 1: Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-160924 Summary of the invention

[0010] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide clothing that effectively applies a load to the muscles on the back side of the wearer to effectively enhance the muscle strength.

[0011] A garment according to one technical solution of the present invention is a garment worn by a wearer in a state where pressure after wearing acts on the wearer's upper body, and includes a low-stretch portion and a high-stretch portion. The low-stretch portion is a portion provided in a portion and having a first stretch. The high-stretch portion is a portion provided in the remaining portion and having a second stretch higher than the first stretch.

[0012] The low-stretch portion includes: a portion of a base fabric, which becomes the base fabric of the garment; and a low-stretch belt member, which is laminated on and joined to the portion of the base fabric. The low-stretch belt member includes: a pair of loops formed so as to surround the left and right armholes; and a connecting portion connecting the pair of loops to each other at the back of the wearer.

[0013] The high stretch portion is a portion of the base fabric excluding the portion to which the low stretch belt member is joined. The front and rear portions of the base fabric are joined to each other. The rear portion includes a back portion that covers the back, and a pair of armhole portions that are seamlessly continuous with the back portion and extend from the back portion along the left and right armholes through the shoulders to the chest side of the wearer and are joined to the side edge of the back portion. Furthermore, the low stretch portion is formed on a portion of the back portion and the pair of armhole portions.

[0014] In the clothing involved in the technical solution, around the left and right armholes, the base fabric and the low-stretch belt member in the low-stretch portion are each joined to each other at the end portions at the armpit portion of the wearer, and are continuously and seamlessly constructed in other portions.

[0030] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the embodiments described below are illustrative embodiments of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below except for its essential configuration.

[0031] 1. Appearance structure of clothing 1

[0032] use Figure 1 and Figure 2 The external appearance structure of the garment 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. Figure 1 This is a diagram showing the garment 1 as viewed from the front. Figure 2 This is a diagram showing the garment 1 as viewed from the rear side.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, as an example, the garment 1 is a garment directly worn on the upper body, and is a compression garment worn in a state where pressure after wearing acts on the upper body. The garment 1 includes a front piece 10, a back piece 11, left and right sleeves 12, 13, a collar 14, and a low-stretch belt member 20. In addition, the front piece 10, the back piece 11, the left and right sleeves 12, 13, and the collar 14 are formed of a base fabric. The base fabric and the low-stretch belt member 20 are joined to each other using an adhesive. However, they may also be joined by sewing.

[0034] The low-stretch belt member 20 is formed of a member having a relatively lower stretch than the base fabric including the front sheet 10 and the back sheet 11. That is, when the stretch of the portion (low-stretch portion) to which the low-stretch belt member 20 is bonded to the base fabric is a first stretch, the portion (high-stretch portion) to which the low-stretch belt member 20 is not bonded in the base fabric has a second stretch higher than the first stretch. The results of measuring the bursting strength (JIS-L-1096 Mullen method) of the base fabric and the portion to which the low-stretch belt member 20 is bonded to the base fabric are shown.

[0035] (Base fabric) 548kPa

[0036] (base fabric + low stretch belt member 20) 750kPa

[0037] As described above, the portion to which the low-stretch belt member 20 is joined has a bursting strength that is approximately 37% higher than that of the base fabric.

[0038] The above ratio of the bursting strength of the portion to which the low-stretch belt member 20 is joined to the base fabric is an example. For example, the bursting strength may be 20% or more higher than that of the base fabric, and more preferably 30% or more higher.

[0039] Here, in the garment 1, the portion where the low-stretch belt member 20 is laminated and joined to the base fabric is the low-stretch portion, and the portion where the low-stretch belt member 20 is not joined to the base fabric is the high-stretch portion. That is, the low-stretch portion is a portion having a first stretch due to the joining of the low-stretch belt member 20, and the high-stretch portion is a portion having a second stretch higher than the first stretch due to the non-joining of the low-stretch belt member 20.

[0040] The low-stretch belt member 20 is formed by a belt-shaped member divided into two strands on the left and right sides, and is formed by a pair of ends located on the left and right sides of the belt-shaped member being joined to each other. Specifically, the low-stretch belt member 20 has a right loop portion 20a, which is arranged so as to surround the joint of the right sleeve, i.e., the armhole; a left loop portion 20b, which is arranged so as to surround the joint of the left sleeve, i.e., the armhole; and a connecting portion 20c, which connects the loop portions 20a and 20b to each other in the portion covering the back of the wearer. In addition, in the low-stretch belt member 20, the right loop portion 20a and the left loop portion 20b are equivalent to a pair of loop portions.

[0041] The right ring portion 20a is formed so as to cover the parts P1 and P4 in front and back of the wearer's glenohumeral joint (the root of the humerus relative to the scapula). The left ring portion 20b is formed so as to cover the parts P2 and P3 in front and back of the wearer's glenohumeral joint (the root of the humerus relative to the scapula). In addition, the ends of the right ring portion 20a in the long-side direction are joined to each other by sewing at the right armpit portion 1c, and the ends of the left ring portion 20b in the long-side direction are joined to each other by sewing at the left armpit portion 1d.

[0042] In addition, the right loop portion 20a and the left loop portion 20b are joined only at the sewn portions of the armpit portions 1c and 1d, and the other portions in the extending direction are configured in a continuous manner. That is, the right loop portion 20a and the left loop portion 20b each form a seam (a portion where the ends are joined together) at the armpit portions 1c and 1d, respectively, and the portions other than the armpit portions 1c and 1d in the extending direction are configured seamlessly.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the connection part 20c is formed to extend along the shoulder width direction in the area between the left and right shoulder blades of the wearer. In addition, the right ring part 20a and the left ring part 20b are each arranged so that the connection part with the connection part 20c passes through the inner side of the wearer's shoulder blade.

[0044] 2. Structures of the front panel 10 and the rear panel 11

[0045] use Figure 3A , Figure 3B and Figure 4 The structures of the front panel 10 and the rear panel 11 will be described.

[0046] like Figure 3A As shown, the low-stretch belt member 20 is not joined to the front panel 10 of the base fabric 100 .

[0047] In contrast, Figure 3B As shown, the low-stretch belt member 20 is joined to a portion of the back sheet 11 of the base fabric 110. Figure 4As shown, the adhesive exists between a part of the surface 11j of the base fabric 110 and the entire surface or a part of the back surface 20d of the low-stretch belt member 20, thereby joining the low-stretch belt member 20 to the rear sheet 11 of the base fabric 110. However, it may also be joined by sewing.

[0048] return Figure 3B The back piece 11 has a main body (back part) 11a covering the back of the wearer, and armhole parts 11b and 11c extending over the shoulders of the wearer relative to the main body 11a. The edge part 11f, which is one end side in the width direction of the right armhole part 11b, is the armhole edge part joined to the right sleeve 12. The edge part 11g, which is one end side in the width direction of the left armhole part 11c, is the armhole edge part joined to the left sleeve 13.

[0049] The edge 11d, which is the other end side in the width direction of the right armhole 11b, is joined to the edge 10a of the front panel 10. The edge 11e, which is the other end side in the width direction of the left armhole 11c, is joined to the edge 10b of the front panel 10. The edges 11d and 11e of the back panel 11 and the edges 10a and 10b of the front panel 10 may be joined by an adhesive or may be joined by sewing.

[0050] The edges 10c and 10d of the front sheet 10 and the edges 11h and 11i of the back sheet 11 are joined at the armpits of the wearer. The edges 10c and 10d of the front sheet 10 and the edges 11h and 11i of the back sheet 11 may be joined by an adhesive or by sewing.

[0051] The right loop portion 20a in the low-stretch band member 20 includes a structure portion 20a1 that is joined to the base fabric 110 in the right armhole portion 11b and extends to the connection portion with the connection portion 20c, and a structure portion 20a2 that is joined to a part of the base fabric 110 in the main body portion 11a and extends from the connection portion with the connection portion 20c to the edge portion 11h. In addition, the connection portion between the right loop portion 20a and the connection portion 20c is separated from the armhole edge portion 11f of the base fabric 110 inward in the shoulder width direction. As a result, the right loop portion 20a does not cover the wearer's shoulder blade at the connection portion with the connection portion 20c.

[0052] The left loop portion 20b includes a structure portion 20b1 that is joined to the base fabric 110 in the left armhole portion 11c and extends to the connection portion with the connection portion 20c, and a structure portion 20b2 that is joined to a portion of the base fabric 110 in the main body portion 11a and extends from the connection portion with the connection portion 20c to the edge portion 11i. In addition, the connection portion between the left loop portion 20b and the connection portion 20c is separated from the armhole edge portion 11g of the base fabric 110 inward in the shoulder width direction. Therefore, the left loop portion 20b does not cover the wearer's shoulder blade at the connection portion with the connection portion 20c.

[0053] like Figure 3B As shown, the base fabric 110 of the back sheet 11 and the low-stretch belt member 20 joined to a part of the base fabric 110 do not have a joint in the extending direction of the low-stretch belt member 20 at the shoulder portion (arrows A1, A2) covering the shoulders of the wearer. The end edge 20a3 of the structure portion 20a1 of the right ring portion 20a of the low-stretch belt member 20 and the end edge 20a4 of the structure portion 20a2 are joined together with the edge portions 11h and 10c to form a ring shape. Similarly, the end edge 20b3 of the structure portion 20b1 of the left ring portion 20b of the low-stretch belt member 20 and the end edge 20b4 of the structure portion 20b2 are joined together with the edge portions 11i and 10d to form a ring shape. That is, the ends of the ring portions 20a and 20b of the low-stretch belt member 20 in the extending direction are joined to each other at the armpit portions 1c and 1d to form a ring shape, except for the armpit portions 1c and 1d (see Figure 1 , 2 ) is constructed continuously and seamlessly in the extension direction.

[0054] In addition, the interval between the right armhole edge 11f of the right armhole portion 11b and the armhole side edge 20a5 of the structure 20a1 is set to be within 10 mm. However, it is configured to be wider than 10 mm on the side closer to the connection part 20c than the shoulder shown by the arrow A1. The interval between the left armhole edge 11g of the left armhole portion 11c and the armhole side edge 20b5 of the structure 20b1 is also set to be within 10 mm. However, it is configured to be wider than 10 mm on the side closer to the connection part 20c than the shoulder shown by the arrow A2.

[0055] The connecting portion 20c is formed in the back portion of the rear sheet 11 so as to extend in the shoulder width direction between the left and right shoulder blades of the wearer. The connecting portion 20c is also arranged so as not to cover the shoulder blades of the wearer.

[0056] 3. Clothes 1's function of enhancing muscle strength

[0057] use FIG. 5A to FIG. 7 The function of the garment 1 to enhance muscle strength is described. Fig. 6A and Figure 6B The clothes involved in Comparative Example 1 are shown. Figure 7 The clothes according to Comparative Example 2 are shown.

[0058] like Figure 5AAs shown, when the wearer 500 wearing the garment 1 swings his arm 501 forward (arrow B1), the shoulder (glenohumeral joint) is pulled (arrow B2) to the opposite side of the swinging direction of the arm 501 by the low-stretch belt member 20. Thus, as long as the wearer swings his arm 501 forward, a load in the opposite direction to the swinging direction is applied.

[0059] In addition, if Figure 5B As shown in the figure, when the arm 501 is raised upward (arrow B3), a force as indicated by arrow B4 is applied by the connection portion 20c, and a force as indicated by arrow B5 is applied to the portion of the ring portions 20a and 20b above the connection portion 20c. Thus, the wearer 500 is also subjected to a load in the opposite direction to the lifting direction by the action of raising the arm 501 upward.

[0060] As described above, not only during exercise but also in daily life, when the wearer 500 wearing the garment 1 swings his arms 501, a moderate load is applied to the deltoid muscles, latissimus dorsi muscles, etc. of the back, thereby achieving a muscle strength training effect.

[0061] like Fig. 6A and Figure 6B As shown, the garment involved in Comparative Example 1 has the right front portion 92a and the left front portion 92b of the low-stretch belt member 92 joined to the armhole portion of the front piece 90, and the right rear upper portion 92c, the right rear lower portion 92e, the left rear upper portion 92d, the left rear lower portion 92f, and the connecting portion 92g of the low-stretch belt member 92 joined to the upper portion of the rear piece 91. The right rear upper portion 92c, the right rear lower portion 92e, and the connecting portion 92g are formed in a continuous manner, and the left rear upper portion 92d, the left rear lower portion 92f, and the connecting portion 92g are formed in a continuous manner.

[0062] The garment according to Modification 1 is arranged such that the edge 92c3 of the connection portion (arrow C5) between the right rear upper portion 92c and the right rear lower portion 92e and the connection portion 92g does not leave the right armhole portion 91c, and the edge 92d3 of the connection portion (arrow C6) between the left rear upper portion 92d and the left rear lower portion 92f and the connection portion 92g does not leave the left armhole portion 91d. In addition, the edges 92a1 and 92c1 of the right front portion 92a and the right rear upper portion 92c of the garment according to Modification 1 are joined to each other at the shoulder portion (arrow C3), and the edges 92a2 and 92c2 of the right front portion 92a and the right rear lower portion 92e are joined to each other at the armpit portion. Edges 92b1, 92d1 of the left front portion 92b and the left rear upper portion 92d are joined together at the shoulder (arrow C4), and edges 92b2, 92d2 of the left front portion 92b and the left rear lower portion 92f are joined together at the armpit.

[0063] Thus, in the clothes involved in Modification Example 1, the front parts 92a, 92b of the front piece 90 joined to the base fabric and the rear upper parts 92c, 92d of the rear piece 91 joined to the base fabric are joined at the shoulders (the parts shown by arrows C3, C4). Therefore, when the wearer swings his arms, the pulling force acting on the front parts 92a, 92b in the long-side direction is dispersed at the joined parts of the shoulders (the parts shown by arrows C3, C4). Therefore, the pulling force is not effectively transmitted to the rear upper parts 92c, 92d. Therefore, the clothes involved in Comparative Example 1 cannot effectively apply load to the wearer's deltoid muscle and latissimus dorsi muscle, and cannot be said to be sufficient to achieve the function of strengthening muscle strength.

[0064] In addition, the clothes involved in Comparative Example 1 also have low-stretch belt components at the portion covering the shoulder blade (arrows C5 and C6), so when the wearer wants to raise his arms, it will hinder the lifting of the arms. Therefore, in this regard, the function of strengthening muscle strength cannot be fully achieved.

[0065] Figure 7 The low-stretch belt member 94 connected to the base fabric of the garment according to the second modification shown has a right loop portion 94c, a left loop portion 94d, and a connecting portion 94g. The right loop portion 94c and the left loop portion 94d are connected by the connecting portion 94g at the back portion (D1) of the back piece 93. The connecting portion 94g is arranged at a large distance from the left and right armhole portions 93c and 93d, and the length in the shoulder width direction becomes much shorter than that of the garment 1 according to the above embodiment.

[0066] In wearing Figure 7 When the wearer of the illustrated garment swings his arms, a pulling force as indicated by arrow D2 acts on the loop portions 94c and 94d.

[0067] However, the clothing of Modified Example 2 is formed very short because the length of the connecting portion 94g is formed, so the degree to which the wearer's shoulders are pulled backward is reduced. Therefore, the clothing of Comparative Example 2 is also considered to have almost no function of enhancing the wearer's muscle strength.

[0068] In addition, the clothes involved in Modification 2 are also similar to Modification 1, in which the front piece and the back piece of the base fabric are joined at the shoulder, so that the pulling force transmitted on the front surface side of the ring parts 94c and 94d is dispersed at the joined portion. Therefore, the clothes involved in Comparative Example 2 cannot effectively apply a load to the muscles on the back side.

[0069] 4. Dimensions of the low-stretch belt member 20 in the garment 1

[0070] use Figure 8 The dimensions of the low-stretch belt member 20 in the back panel 11 of the garment 1 are explained.

[0071] like Figure 8 As shown, the width dimension of the loop portions 20a and 20b of the low-stretch belt member 20 is set to W1, and the dimension of the connecting portion 20c in the vertical direction is set to W2. In this case, W1 and W2 are set so that the ratio of W2 / W1 is about 100% to 200%. More preferably, W2 / W1 is about 130% to 170%.

[0072] As an example, the value of W1 is set to 30 mm to 50 mm. Furthermore, as described above, the distance W5 between the right armhole edge portion 11 f of the right armhole portion 11 b and the armhole side edge portion 20 a 5 of the structure portion 20 a 1 is set to 10 mm or less.

[0073] In addition, the width of the connecting portion 20c in the width direction is W2, and the width between the left and right armhole edges 11f and 11g in the back sheet 11 is W4. In this case, W3 and W4 are set so that the ratio of W3 / W4 is about 40% to 70%. More preferably, W3 / W4 is about 50% to 60%.

[0074] 5. Effect

[0075] The garment 1 involved in this embodiment includes a low-stretch portion (a portion where the low-stretch belt member 20 is joined to the base fabric 110 in a laminated manner) formed integrally with a pair of loop portions 20a, 20b and a connecting portion 20c, and except for the armpit portions 1c, 1d, the low-stretch portion (a portion where the low-stretch belt member 20 is joined to the base fabric 110) is continuously and seamlessly constructed along the extension direction. Therefore, the pulling force transmitted along the long side direction in the loop portions on the left and right sides of the garment 1 will not be dispersed in the shoulder, but will be transmitted to the back side. As a result, the garment 1 can exert a force that pulls the root portion (glenohumeral joint) of the wearer's 500 arms to the rear side. Accordingly, as long as the wearer 500 wears the garment 1, a load is applied to the muscles on the back side such as the deltoid muscle and the latissimus dorsi muscle, which can enhance muscle strength.

[0076] In addition, the end sides 20a3, 20a4, 20b3, 20b4 of the pair of ring portions 20a, 20b of the garment 1 according to the present embodiment are joined to each other at the armpit portions 1c, 1d, and at the shoulder portions ( Figure 3B The A1 and A2 parts of the armpits 1c and 1d and other parts in the extension direction do not have a joint. Therefore, the pulling force of the garment 1 acts along the long side direction of each loop part 20a and 20b with the joint part in the armpit parts 1c and 1d as the base point. As a result, for the wearer 500 wearing the garment 1, the dispersion of force can be suppressed, and the root parts (glenohumeral joint parts) of the wearer's 500 arms can be effectively pulled backward.

[0077] In addition, if Figure 3A , Figure 3B and Figure 4 As shown, the garment 1 according to the present embodiment includes base fabrics 100, 110 and a low-stretch belt member 20, and the low-stretch portion is formed by laminating and joining the base fabric 110 with the low-stretch belt member 20. Therefore, for the garment 1, the difference in stretch between the low-stretch portion and the high-stretch portion can be variously set by selecting the base fabric 110 and the low-stretch belt member 20. Thus, the force pulling the root portion (glenohumeral joint portion) of the arms of the wearer 500 backward can be adjusted to a force of appropriate size.

[0078] In addition, if Figure 3B As shown, the garment 1 according to this embodiment uses a rear panel 11 having a pair of armholes 11b and 11c. Therefore, the low-stretch portion except the armpits 1c and 1d is continuously and seamlessly constructed in the extending direction, and the garment 1 can be manufactured without complicated operations.

[0079] In addition, the garment 1 according to the present embodiment is formed such that the pair of loops 20a and 20b pass through the inner side of the left and right shoulder blades at the connection portion with the connection portion 20c. Therefore, the garment 1 is unlikely to hinder the movement of the shoulder blades of the wearer 500. Thus, when the wearer 500 wants to raise the arm 501, the movement is unlikely to be hindered.

[0080] In addition, the garment 1 according to the present embodiment is formed so that each of the pair of loops 20a and 20b covers the glenohumeral joint, and the portion joined to the loops 20a and 20b is formed with a relatively low degree of stretch. Therefore, the garment 1 can effectively pull the root portions of the arms backwards with the vicinity of the glenohumeral joint as the point of action.

[0081] As described above, the garment 1 according to the present embodiment can apply a load to the muscles on the back side of the wearer 500 .

[0082] [Modification 1]

[0083] The above embodiment prepares the front panel 10 and the rear panel 11 separately and joins them together, but in this modification, the front panel and the rear panel are integrally formed. Fig. 9 A clothing 2 according to a modified example will be described. Fig. 9 The garment 2 is shown in a state before the respective edge portions are joined together. In addition, illustration of sleeves, collars, etc. is omitted.

[0084] like Fig. 9As shown, the garment 2 involved in this modification includes a base fabric 21 having a rear piece 21a and front pieces 21b and 21c, and a low-stretch belt member 22 joined to a portion of the base fabric 21. In this modification, the portion where the low-stretch belt member 22 is joined to the base fabric 21 is the low-stretch portion, and the remaining portion (the portion where the low-stretch belt member 22 is not joined) is the high-stretch portion.

[0085] The front pieces 21b and 21c of the garment 2 according to this modification are respectively continuous with the back piece 21a. Moreover, the right front piece 21b is formed so as to extend continuously from the right shoulder portion (arrow E7 portion) of the back piece 21a. The left front piece 21c is formed so as to extend continuously from the left shoulder portion (arrow E8 portion) of the back piece 21a.

[0086] The garment 2 has a right armhole portion 21j extending from the back sheet 21a across the right shoulder portion to the right front sheet 21b, and a left armhole portion 21k extending from the back sheet 21a across the left shoulder portion to the left front sheet 21c. An edge portion 21l, which is one end side in the width direction of the right armhole portion 21j, is an armhole edge portion joined to the right sleeve. An edge portion 21m, which is one end side in the width direction of the left armhole portion 21k, is an armhole edge portion joined to the left sleeve.

[0087] like Fig. 9 As shown, the garment 2 according to this modification example has a portion where the low-stretch belt member 22 is joined to the right front piece 21b and the left front piece 21c. That is, the front pieces 21b and 21c of the garment 2 according to this modification example also have a low-stretch portion and a high-stretch portion.

[0088] The low-stretch belt member 22 includes: a right loop portion 22a formed to extend along the right armhole edge; a left loop portion 22b formed to extend along the left armhole edge; and a connecting portion 22c connecting the right loop portion 22a and the left loop portion 22b at the upper portion of the back piece 21a. The right loop portion 22a, the left loop portion 22b and the connecting portion 22c of this modified example are continuously formed.

[0089] The connecting portion 22c is formed in the back portion of the rear sheet 21a so as to extend in the shoulder width direction between the left and right shoulder blades of the wearer.

[0090] In addition, in this modification, as an example, the low-stretch belt member 22 is joined to the base fabric 21 using an adhesive.

[0091] In addition, the right ring portion 22a, the left ring portion 22b, and the connecting portion 22c of this modification are also arranged so as not to cover the shoulder blades of the wearer.

[0092] In the garment 2, the edge 21d (arrow E1 portion) of the back sheet 21a and the edge 21e (arrow E2 portion) of the right front sheet 21b are joined, and the edge 21f (arrow E3 portion) of the back sheet 21a and the edge 21g (arrow E4 portion) of the left front sheet 21c are joined. In addition, the edge 21h (arrow E5 portion) of the right front sheet 21b and the edge 21i (arrow E6 portion) of the left front sheet 21c are joined.

[0093] In addition, the edges 22a1 and 22a2 of the right loop portion 22a in the low-stretch belt member 22 are overlapped with the edge portion 21d of the rear sheet 21a and the edge portion 21e of the right front sheet 21b and joined. Similarly, the edges 22b1 and 22b2 of the left loop portion 22b in the low-stretch belt member 22 are overlapped with the edge portion 21f of the rear sheet 21a and the edge portion 21g of the left front sheet 21c and joined. In addition, as an example, the edges 22a1 and 22a2 are joined to each other, and the edges 22b1 and 22b2 are joined to each other by sewing.

[0094] The difference between the clothes 2 of this modification and the above embodiment is that the back piece 21a and the front pieces 21b and 21c are formed in a continuous manner, and the other structures are the same as those of the above embodiment. Therefore, the clothes 2 of this modification can also produce the same effect as the clothes 1 of the above embodiment.

[0095] Furthermore, since the garment 2 according to the present modification is cut so that the rear panel 21a and the front panels 21b and 21c are continuous, it is also possible to produce an effect that the number of components can be reduced, thereby reducing the number of man-hours required for component management.

[0096] [Other Modifications]

[0097] The above embodiment and the above modification 1 are laminated and joined with members (low-stretch belt members 20, 22) having a lower stretch than the base fabric, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Fig. 10A As shown, a joining cloth 24 made of the same material as the base cloth 23 can be laminated on a portion of the surface 23a of the base cloth 23, and the surface 23a of the base cloth 23 and the back surface 24a of the joining cloth 24 can be joined by adhesive or sewing.

[0098] In addition, if Fig. 10B As shown, the low stretch portion 26 can also be formed in a part of the base fabric 25. That is, it is also possible to adopt a method in which the low stretch portion and the high stretch portion are included in one fabric instead of joining two fabrics in a stacked manner. In addition, various methods can be used to form the low stretch portion 26, for example, a method in which an adhesive or the like is impregnated in a local area of ​​the base fabric 25 can be adopted.

[0099] In addition, if Fig. 10C As shown, a fabric having a low stretch portion and a high stretch portion can be provided by forming a printed layer 28 on a part of the base fabric 27. In addition, the base fabric 27 does not necessarily need to be composed of one type of yarn, but may be a layer in which two or more types of yarn are woven. In addition, the printed layer 28 does not necessarily need to be a coating film, but may be a film formed of a fiber layer.

[0100] Although not shown in the figure, it is also possible to form a garment having a low-stretch portion and a high-stretch portion by joining the end edges of the base fabric and the low-stretch belt member to each other by sewing or the like.

[0101] Furthermore, although the above embodiment and the above modification 1 use compression clothing as an example of the clothing 1 and 2, the present invention is not limited thereto and can also be applied to clothing in which a tensile force acts on fabric according to the movement of the wearer.

[0102] [Summarize]

[0103] A garment according to one embodiment of the present invention is a garment worn by a wearer in a state where pressure after wearing acts on the wearer's upper body, and includes a low-stretch portion and a high-stretch portion. The low-stretch portion is a portion provided in a portion and having a first stretch. The high-stretch portion is a portion provided in the remaining portion and having a second stretch higher than the first stretch.

[0104] The low-stretch portion includes: a portion of a base fabric, which becomes the base fabric of the garment; and a low-stretch belt member, which is laminated on and joined to the portion of the base fabric. The low-stretch belt member includes: a pair of loops formed so as to surround the left and right armholes; and a connecting portion connecting the pair of loops to each other at the back of the wearer.

[0105] The high stretch portion is a portion of the base fabric excluding the portion to which the low stretch belt member is joined. The front and rear portions of the base fabric are joined to each other. The rear portion includes a back portion that covers the back, and a pair of armhole portions that are seamlessly continuous with the back portion and extend from the back portion along the left and right armholes through the shoulders to the chest side of the wearer and are joined to the side edge of the back portion. Furthermore, the low stretch portion is formed on a portion of the back portion and the pair of armhole portions.

[0106] Around the left and right armholes, the base fabric and the low-stretch belt member in the low-stretch portion are joined at their ends at the armpit portion of the wearer, and are continuously and seamlessly constructed at other portions.

[0107] The clothes involved in the above technical solution include a low-stretch belt member having a pair of loops and a connecting portion, and except for the armpit portion, the pair of armholes and the pair of loops forming the low-stretch portion are each continuously and seamlessly constructed. Therefore, the pulling force transmitted along the long side direction of the loops on the left and right sides will not be dispersed in the shoulder, but transmitted to the back side. As a result, the clothes involved in the above technical solution can make the force that pulls the base of the wearer's arms to the back side work. Accordingly, as long as the wearer wears the clothes involved in the above technical solution, the load is applied to the muscles on the back side such as the deltoid muscle and the latissimus dorsi muscle, which can enhance muscle strength.

[0108] In addition, the "pressure after wearing" mentioned above refers to the pressure exerted on the fabric by the pulling force in the low-stretch portion and the high-stretch portion according to the wearer's movements. Therefore, the clothes involved in the above technical solution are not limited to so-called compression clothes.

[0109] In addition, the low-stretch portion of the garment according to the above technical solution is formed by laminating the low-stretch belt member and joining it to the base fabric, so the difference in stretch between the low-stretch portion and the high-stretch portion can be variously set by selecting the base fabric and the low-stretch belt member. Thus, the force pulling the base of the wearer's arms backward can be adjusted to a suitable force.

[0110] In addition, the clothing involved in the above technical solution adopts a structure in which the low-stretch portion is formed on a part of the back portion and a pair of armhole portions. Thus, the low-stretch portion can be continuously and seamlessly formed except for the armpit portion, and can be manufactured without complicated operations.

[0111] In the garment according to the above technical solution, each of the pair of loops is formed at a distance from the armhole so that the connection portion with the connection portion is located further inward than the left and right shoulder blades of the wearer in the width direction of the wearer's back.

[0112] The pair of loops of the garment according to the above technical solution are formed so that the connection portion with the connection portion is located inside the left and right shoulder blades, so that the movement of the wearer's shoulder blades is not easily hindered. Therefore, when the wearer wants to raise his arms, the movement is not easily hindered.

[0113] In the garment according to the above aspect, each of the pair of ring portions is formed so as to be located at a portion covering the glenohumeral joint of the wearer.

[0114] The pair of loops of the garment of the technical solution are each formed in a manner of being located at a portion covering the glenohumeral joint, and the pair of loops are formed with a relatively lower stretch than other portions. Therefore, the garment can effectively pull the root portions of both arms backwards with the vicinity of the glenohumeral joint as a point of action.

[0115] As described above, the clothes according to the above-mentioned embodiments effectively apply loads to the muscles on the back side of the wearer to enhance muscle strength.
