Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing design technology, and in particular to a running shorts. Background Technology

[0002] Running has a broad appeal. Data shows that my country's running population is approaching 300 million, with a 47% increase in full marathon finishers and a 52% increase in half marathon finishers in 2023. The rapid growth in marathon participants means that improving the functionality and comfort of marathon apparel can help sports brands enhance their brand image and capture runners' minds. A marathon is 42.195 kilometers long, requiring runners to replenish electrolytes lost during exercise with energy gels and salt tablets to quench thirst and aid energy recovery. A survey of 2,000 marathon runners found that over 80% of runners need to consume four energy gels during a full marathon. Considering stability during running, energy gels and salt tablets are typically stored in the lower pocket of the running gear.

[0003] Chinese Patent Application No. 202221052372.5 discloses a comfortable sports shorts, including a shorts body, a pocket, and a reflective strip. The pocket is located on the back of the shorts body and is sewn to it. This utility model places the pocket at the back waist, providing a large capacity, preventing valuables from falling out, and not hindering the wearer's movement. Reflective strips are added to the outside of the pocket to increase safety during night runs. The waistband uses a perforated elastic band, and the back waistband and pocket have a fitted design for comfort and breathability. A drawstring at the waist allows for easy adjustment of the waist size, making it suitable for wearers with different waist sizes and broad applicability. However, the pocket lacks a first and second arc-shaped structure, failing to avoid the buttocks area, resulting in poor comfort.

[0004] Chinese Patent Application No. 202322625218.3 discloses a professional running shorts, including a waistband made of elastic material. A left and right leg are sewn together below the waistband. A storage opening is provided between the back of the waistband and the left and right legs, with the opening connected on both sides by a zipper. This utility model provides a professional running shorts that reduces the volume occupied by storage areas by providing storage openings in the waistband, left leg, and right leg, making running more convenient and enhancing the runner's experience. Large items such as mobile phones can be placed in the storage openings and secured by the zipper, ensuring the safety of these items during running. The openings on both sides of the left and right legs ensure that runners do not feel restricted even during vigorous running, further enhancing the user experience. However, the pocket design of this shorts makes the precise and effective retrieval of items less than ideal. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, in view of the above problems, this utility model provides a running shorts that solves the problems of poor comfort of the waist pockets of existing marathon shorts, the tendency of items to be locally too heavy during exercise, poor precision and effectiveness of the action of taking and putting away items, and poor breathability and quick-drying properties of the pockets.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A running shorts package includes a shorts body and pockets. The shorts body has a longitudinal direction along its length. The pockets are made of warp-knitted mesh structure formed by polyester and spandex. The pockets include a first pocket (A), a second pocket (B), and a third pocket (C), corresponding to the first pocket (A), second pocket (B), and third pocket (C) respectively. The first pocket (A) is located in the center of the back of the shorts body. The number of the second pocket (B) and the third pocket (C) is at least one. The second pocket (B) and the third pocket (C) are located on both sides corresponding to the hip area of ​​the user. The upper ends of the first pocket (A) and the second pocket (B) are... The lower ends of the first pocket (A), the second pocket (B), and the third pocket (C) are arranged in a first arc shape, and the longitudinal distance between the first arc shape and the upper end gradually increases from the first pocket (A) to the second pocket (B) and then to the third pocket (C). The angle between the upper end of the third pocket (C) and the upper end of the second pocket (B) on the same side is α, and the value of α is in the range of 100° < α < 130°. The side of the second pocket (B) on the same side that is close to the third pocket (C) has a second arc shape, and the second arc shape protrudes towards the third pocket (C). The opening of the first pocket (A) is provided with a flap, and the flap is provided with a non-slip handle.

[0008] Furthermore, the second pocket (B) consists of two pockets that are distributed at consecutive intervals.

[0009] Furthermore, the third pocket (C) consists of two pockets that are distributed at consecutive intervals.

[0010] Furthermore, the distance between the second pocket (B) and the third pocket (C) on the same side is 0-3cm.

[0011] Furthermore, the first pocket (A) has a maximum width of 16-17cm and a maximum height of 9-10cm.

[0012] Furthermore, the second pocket (B) has a maximum width of 6-7cm and a maximum height of 9-11cm.

[0013] Furthermore, the maximum width of the third pocket (C) is 4-6cm, and the maximum height is 11-15cm.

[0014] Furthermore, the ratio of polyester to spandex is 4:1.

[0015] Furthermore, the weight of the pocket is <95g / m³. 2 .

[0016] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. The first pocket (A) is used to hold a mobile phone. Currently, the mainstream mobile phone size is between 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches. The storage space of the first pocket (A) is just right to hold a mainstream mobile phone. The size is consistent and reduces the risk of the mobile phone shaking in the pocket. The opening of the first pocket (A) is equipped with a pocket flap to prevent valuable items from slipping and being lost during running. The pocket flap is designed with a non-slip handle. In long-distance races, a lot of sweat is produced and hands are easily wetted by sweat. Using a non-slip handle can improve the accuracy and effectiveness of taking out and putting in items. The precise positioning of the handle can reduce the time spent fumbling.

[0018] 2. The longitudinal distance between the first arc-shaped structure and the upper end gradually increases from the first pocket (A) to the second pocket (B) and then to the third pocket (C), which conforms to the body curve law. Thus, the second pocket (B) can avoid the buttock bulge and avoid the items in the pocket from causing excessive local pressure on the buttock skin, and the third pocket (C) can avoid the buttock bulge area.

[0019] 3. The shapes of the second pocket (B) and the third pocket (C) are inspired by the magazine pouches of military uniforms. The second pocket (B) is designed with a second arc-shaped structure on the side closest to the third pocket (C) to ensure that runners can grab the energy gel head with one hand and pull it out quickly during the race, saving time searching in the pocket.

[0020] 4. Currently, the two most commonly used energy gels in marathon running are the 45g Kangbite and the 60g SIS energy gel. Other brands of energy gels have similar packaging sizes to Kangbite and SIS. Therefore, the second pocket (B) and third pocket (C) are designed with reference to the packaging sizes of these two energy gels, which is quite practical. At the same time, the bag opening uses an elastic edge binding process, without bag eyebrow, and the bag opening is elastic to fix the energy gel head and prevent it from shaking.

[0021] 5. In terms of visual appeal, the pockets are symmetrically divided and conform to the body's curves, resulting in a visually attractive and elegant appearance. Regarding comfort, the waist belt is single-layered with breathable, quick-drying mesh pocket fabric attached to it, reducing the risk of sweat buildup on the waist. Functionally, it offers ample storage space, meeting the needs of elite runners carrying four weight-gain gels and salt tablets for a full marathon. The back waist pockets are divided into sections, one for each item. In terms of stability, the distributed placement of items, one item per pocket, ensures even weight distribution. Furthermore, the pocket design takes into account the body's curves, allowing items to conform to the body's surface and effectively enhancing overall pocket stability. Attached Figure Description
