Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] The bottoms of Patent Document 1 are considered to have the superimposed cloth joined to the bottoms body at the above two locations in order to enhance the effect of pressing the lower abdomen and the hip-up effect as much as possible. However, the superimposed cloth joined over the entire circumference of the waist part may limit the movement during wearing, cause wrinkles in the bottoms body by pulling the bottoms body, etc., and may deteriorate the appearance of the wearer. Further, the superimposed cloth joined to the crotch part as well as the entire circumference of the waist part may cause pulling upward of the crotch part and may cause discomfort to the wearer.

[0006] In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide bottoms that have the effect of pressing the lower abdomen of the wearer and the hip-up effect, while suppressing the deterioration of the appearance of the wearer and further reducing the discomfort to the wearer.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] The bottoms according to the present invention comprise a bottoms body including a front body and a rear body, and an overlapping cloth that overlaps from the back side on the upper thigh portion of the bottoms body. The overlapping cloth is stretchable so as to be able to take a first state when not worn, in which the perimeter is shorter than that of the upper thigh portion, and a second state when worn, in which the perimeter is longer than that of the first state. The rear body has a rear crotch groove portion extending in the central portion in the width direction. The overlapping cloth is joined only to the rear crotch groove portion.

[0008] The bottoms having such a configuration has an effect of pressing the lower abdomen of the wearer and a hip-up effect by the overlapping cloth that expands and contracts as described above. Also, the rear crotch groove portion of the rear body is considered to be a portion with relatively little movement due to changes in the body posture of the wearer. For example, when the wearer makes a twisting movement of the body, the rear crotch groove portion arranged near the body axis of the wearer is a portion with less movement compared to a portion farther from the body axis. And the overlapping cloth joined only to such a rear crotch groove portion is suppressed from following the bottoms body even if the back side of the bottoms body moves due to a change in the body posture of the wearer. Therefore, the generation of wrinkles in the bottoms body is suppressed, so that the deterioration of the appearance of the wearer can be suppressed. Also, if the overlapping cloth is joined only to the rear crotch groove portion, the pulling upward of the crotch sitting portion is suppressed, so that the discomfort to the wearer can be reduced.

[0009] The bottoms according to one aspect of the present invention The overlapping cloth includes a left region and a right region extending from the portion joined to the rear crotch groove portion to both the left and right sides, and has an engaging portion that makes the tip portions in the extending directions of the left region and the right region detachable from each other.

[0010] According to such a configuration, since the engaging portion is provided at each tip portion, the wearing of the overlapping cloth can be made easy.

[0011] The bottoms according to one aspect of the present invention are The engaging portion is configured to be able to change the engaging position in the circumferential direction.

[0012] According to such a configuration, it is possible to adjust the degree of pressing by the overlapping cloth according to changes in situations such as changes in body shape and posture.

[0013] The bottoms according to one aspect of the present invention are The bottoms main body includes a waist portion, The overlapping cloth has an upper edge extending along the width direction, and the upper edge is disposed below the upper edge of the waist portion.

[0014] According to such a configuration, it is possible to focus on pressing the lower abdomen of a wearer who is likely to bulge with the overlapping cloth.

Effects of the Invention

[0015] As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide bottoms that have the effect of pressing the lower abdomen of the wearer and the hip-up effect, while suppressing the deterioration of the appearance of the wearer and reducing the discomfort to the wearer.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, bottoms according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following, for each direction of the bottoms of the present embodiment, the direction corresponding to the left - right direction is referred to as the width direction D1, and the direction corresponding to the length direction and orthogonal to the width direction D1 is referred to as the up - down direction D2.

[0018] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bottoms 100 of the present embodiment are trousers, and include a bottom body 1 having a crotch part 1a that covers the lower abdomen on the front side of the wearer to the buttocks on the back side, and leg parts 1b that branch left and right from the crotch part 1a so as to cover both legs of the wearer.

[0019] The bottom body 1 of the present embodiment includes a front body 11 that covers the wearer from the front, a back body 12 that covers the wearer from the back, a first joining cloth 13 that joins the portions forming the crotch part 1a of the front body 11 and the back body 12, a second joining cloth 14 that joins the portions forming the leg parts 1b of the front body 11 and the back body 12, and an annular waist part 15 joined to the upper edge portions of the front body 11, the back body 12, and the first joining cloth 13.

[0020] Further, the bottom body 1 has a U - shaped crotch groove part 16 that extends across the central part in the width direction D1 of the crotch part 1a. That is, the crotch groove part 16 is a part composed of the central parts in the width direction D1 of the front part of the waist part 15, the front body 11, the second joining cloth 14, the back body 12, and the back part of the waist part 15.

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the front body 11 of this embodiment is composed of a pair of left and right fabric pieces p11. Note that FIG. 3 shows only one of the fabric pieces, and the same applies to the fabric pieces that make up parts other than the front body 11. The fabric piece p11 includes an upper edge portion 111 to which the waist portion 15 is joined, an inner edge portion 112 and an outer edge portion 113 extending downward from both ends of the upper edge portion 111, and a front hem portion 114 extending between the lower end portions of the inner edge portion 112 and the outer edge portion 113 respectively. The inner edge portion 112 has a front crotch forming portion 1121 to be included in the upper crotch portion 1a and a front inseam line portion 1122 to be included in the lower crotch portion 1b.

[0022] The fabric piece p12 that constitutes the back body 12 includes an upper edge portion 121 to which the waist portion 15 is joined, an inner edge portion 122 and an outer edge portion 123 extending downward from both ends of the upper edge portion 121, and a back hem portion 124 extending between the lower end portions of the inner edge portion 122 and the outer edge portion 123 respectively. The inner edge portion 122 has a back crotch forming portion 1221 to be included in the upper crotch portion 1a and a back inseam line portion 1222 to be included in the lower crotch portion 1b.

[0023] The outer edge portion 113 of the fabric piece p11 and the outer edge portion 123 of the fabric piece p12 are joined at least at the portions included in the lower crotch portion 1b to form the side line of the bottom 100. On the other hand, above this portion, it branches front and back. Regarding this branch in detail, the outer edge portion 113 of the fabric piece p11 extends along the vertical direction D2, and the outer edge portion 123 of the fabric piece p12 is inclined backward. And a first joining cloth 13 is arranged between the thus-branched outer edge portion 113 and the outer edge portion 123.

[0024] The fabric piece p13 that constitutes the first joining cloth 13 has an upper end edge portion 131 joined to the waist portion 15, a first side edge portion 132 joined to the outer edge portion 113 of the fabric piece p11, and a second side edge portion 133 joined to the outer edge portion 123 of the fabric piece p12. Also, the lower ends of the first side edge portion 132 and the second side edge portion 133 are connected to each other. That is, the fabric piece p13 (the first joining cloth 13) is triangular in shape and tapers downward.

[0025] The fabric piece p14 that constitutes the second joining cloth 14 has an upper end edge portion 141 joined to the fabric piece that is the other paired second joining cloth 14, a front side edge portion 142 joined to the front thigh bottom line portion 1122 at the inner edge portion 112 of the fabric piece p11, a rear side edge portion 143 joined to the rear thigh bottom line portion 1222 at the inner edge portion 122 of the fabric piece p12, and a hem portion 144 extending between the lower ends of the front side edge portion 142 and the rear side edge portion 143.

[0026] The bottom body 1 formed by these fabric pieces includes a front thigh groove portion 161 formed by joining the front thigh groove forming portions 1121 of the pair of fabric pieces p11 that constitute the front body 11, a rear thigh groove portion 162 formed by joining the rear thigh groove forming portions 1221 of the pair of fabric pieces p12 that constitute the rear body 12, and a thigh groove lower end portion 163 formed by joining the upper end edge portions 141 of the pair of fabric pieces p14 that constitute the second joining cloth 14. The front thigh groove portion 161 and the rear thigh groove portion 162 are formed to extend along the vertical direction D2. The thigh groove lower end portion 163 extends between the front thigh groove portion 161 and the rear thigh groove portion 162. The thigh groove lower end portion 163 is a portion including the lower end of the thigh groove portion 16.

[0027] In this embodiment, the length of the rear crotch part 162 is slightly longer than the length of the front crotch part 161. The length of the rear crotch part 162 relative to the front crotch part 161 is preferably 1.1 to 1.5 times, more preferably 1.1 to 1.3 times. As is clear from the description so far in this specification, the respective lengths of the front crotch part 161 and the rear crotch part 162 do not include the width of the waist part 15 (the length in the vertical direction D2).

[0028] And, as shown in FIG. 4, the bottoms 100 of this embodiment include a double fabric 2 that overlaps the upper crotch part 1a of the bottoms main body 1 from the back side. The double fabric 2 has an area that can cover the buttocks to the lower abdomen of the wearer.

[0029] The double fabric 2 of this embodiment is configured to be stretchable so as to be able to take a first state when not worn, in which the perimeter is shorter than that of the upper crotch part 1a of the bottoms main body 1, and a second state when worn, in which the perimeter is longer than the first state. Examples of the fabric constituting such a double fabric 2 include a power net composed of a yarn containing urethane-based fibers.

[0030] The double fabric 2 of this embodiment has a central part in the width direction D1 joined to the rear crotch part 162 of the bottoms main body 1. That is, the double fabric 2 includes a left region 2L extending leftward from a joined edge part 21, which is a part joined to the rear crotch part 162, and a right region 2R extending rightward from the joined edge part 21. The left region 2L and the right region 2R have a left-right symmetric relationship via the rear crotch part 162 except for an extension piece 26 described later. The double fabric 2 of this embodiment is composed of a pair of fabric pieces for forming the left region 2L and the right region 2R respectively. Each of the left region 2L and the right region 2R has a joined edge part 21 joined to the rear crotch part 162 and a tip part 22 in the extending direction in the width direction D1.

[0031] Further, the overlapping cloth 2 has a pair of upper edge portions 23 extending between the upper ends of the joint edge portion 21 and the tip portion 22, and a pair of lower edge portions 24 extending between the lower ends of the joint edge portion 21 and the tip portion 22. Each of the upper edge portion 23 and the lower edge portion 24 forms a free end without being joined to the bottom body 1. As a result, it is possible to prevent the overlapping cloth 2 from pulling particularly the front body part 11 and the back body part 12 of the bottom body 1, and it is possible to suppress the occurrence of wrinkles in the front body part 11 and the back body part 12.

[0032] Thus, the overlapping cloth 2 is joined only to the rear crotch portion 162 of the bottom body 1 and is not joined to other portions. Since the rear crotch portion 162 is a portion that moves relatively little due to changes in the wearer's body posture compared to other portions of the bottom body 1, the overlapping cloth 2 joined only to the rear crotch portion 162 is such that even if the back side of the bottom body 1 moves due to a change in the wearer's body posture, it is suppressed from following other portions of the bottom body 1. For example, when the wearer makes a movement such as bending forward, the portion covering the protruding part of the wearer's buttocks is most deformed, but since the overlapping cloth 2 is not joined to such a portion, the overlapping cloth 2 is suppressed from following the bottom body 1. And by suppressing the following, the occurrence of wrinkles in the bottom body 1 is suppressed.

[0033] Further, the overlapping cloth 2 is not joined to the lower end portion of the crotch 163 either. This can prevent the overlapping cloth 2 from pulling the crotch portion of the bottom body 1 and can reduce discomfort caused by pinching of the crotch portion against the wearer.

[0034] The entire joint edge portion 21 is joined to the rear crotch portion 162. As a result, the pulling force of the overlapping cloth 2 in the second state is likely to be evenly applied to the left and right of the rear crotch portion 162, so that it is possible to prevent the rear crotch portion 162 from becoming a zigzag shape that meanders left and right.

[0035] Each upper edge portion 23 is arranged along the width direction D1 in a state where both ends thereof are gripped and the fabric is pulled and tensioned in the width direction D1 to such an extent that it does not stretch visually (a non-loose state). Further, in this state, the upper edge portion 23 of the present embodiment is arranged below the waist portion 15 (the lower edge thereof). The distance d between the upper edge of the upper edge portion 23 and the lower edge of the waist portion 15 is preferably 1 cm or more and 3 cm or less. By such an arrangement, the double fabric 2 can press the lower abdomen of the wearer with emphasis. As shown in FIG. 4, the distance d shall mean the distance from the upper end of the joined edge portion 21 to the lower edge of the waist portion 15.

[0036] Each lower edge portion 24 is curved so as to approach the upper edge portion 23 as it goes from the joined edge portion 21 toward the tip portion 22 in a state where both ends thereof are gripped and the fabric is pulled and tensioned in the width direction D1 to such an extent that it does not stretch visually (a non-loose state). Specifically, when a straight line L that bisects the left region 2L and the right region 2R in the width direction D1 is drawn in the tensioned state, each lower edge portion 24 has a lower convex portion 241 located in the rear region 2B between the joined edge portion 21 and the straight line L, and an upper convex portion 242 located in the front region 2F between the straight line L and the tip portion 22.

[0037] Each straight line L will be arranged near the side line of the bottoms 100 in the second state during wearing. That is, in the second state, the rear region 2B is arranged on the back side of the back body 12 to cover the back side (especially the buttocks) of the wearer, and the front region 2F is arranged on the back side of the front body 11 to cover the front side (especially the lower abdomen) of the wearer.

[0038] On each upper edge portion 23, a call rubber 231 which is a stretch cord showing high stretchability in the length direction is attached. The call rubber 231 shows higher stretchability in the length direction than the fabric pieces constituting the double-layer cloth 2. The call rubber 231 is attached over the entire upper edge portion 23. Similarly, on each lower edge portion 24, a stretch cord 243 is attached over the entire portion. Due to such stretch cords, although the joint portion of the double-layer cloth 2 is limited to the back crotch portion 162, the double-layer cloth 2 is more likely to be maintained at a predetermined covering position.

[0039] The length of the double-layer cloth 2 in the vertical direction D2 becomes shorter from the joint edge portion 21 toward the tip portion 22. Specifically, the length of the double-layer cloth 2 in the vertical direction D2 becomes shorter from the joint edge portion 21 toward the straight line L (from the rear end to the front end in the rear region 2B), and also becomes shorter from the straight line L toward the tip portion 22 (from the rear end to the front end in the front region 2F). As a result, the covering area of the double-layer cloth 2 in the front region 2F is smaller than that in the rear region 2B in the second state, and excessive tightening in the lower abdomen of the wearer can be suppressed. Further, such a double-layer cloth 2 can enhance air permeability below the front region 2F.

[0040] Each tip portion 22 of the double-layer cloth 2 can be arranged near the back side in the front crotch portion 161 of the front body 11 during wearing due to the elongation of the double-layer cloth 2. And an engaging portion 25 for making the pair of tip portions 22 detachable is attached to the double-layer cloth 2, whereby the double-layer cloth 2 is maintained in an annular shape covering the wearer over the entire circumference. The engaging portion 25 of the present embodiment has a hook portion 251 attached to one of the tip portions 22 and a loop portion 252 attached to the other of the tip portions 22. The hook portion 251 and the loop portion 252 are configured to be detachable.

[0041] Further, the engaging portion 25 of the present embodiment is configured to be able to change the engaging position in the circumferential direction in multiple stages. Specifically, the engaging portion 25 is attached to the extension pieces 26 extending from the respective tip portions 22 of the double fabric 2, and includes one hook portion 251 attached to one extension piece 26 and a plurality of loop portions 252 attached to the other extension piece 26 and arranged along the extension direction of the extension piece 26.

[0042] As a combination of the hook portion 251 and the loop portion 252, for example, it may be formed of a metal wire, may be a snap button made of metal or resin, or may be a hook-and-loop fastener.

[0043] The perimeter of the double fabric 2 of the present embodiment is shorter than the perimeter of the corresponding height portion of the bottom body 1. The perimeter of the double fabric 2 is preferably 5% to 35% shorter than the perimeter of the bottom body 1. The perimeter of the double fabric 2 is, for example, the perimeter at its upper edge portion 23 and is measured in the above-mentioned tensioned state. Also, the perimeter of the corresponding portion of the bottom body 1 is measured in a state where this portion is tensioned in the same manner as the double fabric 2. Note that the length of the extension piece 26 is not included in the perimeter of the double fabric 2.

[0044] Each of the left region 2L and the right region 2R is composed of a plurality of fabric pieces. Each of the left region 2L and the right region 2R is composed of one main fabric piece p21 forming its entire region and a reinforcing fabric piece p22 joined to the main fabric piece p21 so as to be partially overlapped with the main fabric piece p21.

[0045] The main fabric piece p21 forms the outer edge portion of the double fabric 2. That is, the main fabric piece p21 has edge portions corresponding to the joint edge portion 21, the upper edge portion 23, and the lower edge portion 24 of the double fabric 2, respectively.

[0046] The reinforcing fabric piece p22 overlaps the entire main fabric piece p21 in the front region 2F. On the other hand, in the rear region 2B, the reinforcing fabric piece p22 has a first branch portion 27 and a second branch portion 28 that branch vertically, and these extend to the rear crotch portion 162 and are joined to the rear crotch portion 162. The first branch portion 27 extends along the edge portion that forms the upper edge portion 23 of the edge portions of the main fabric piece p21. The second branch portion 28 extends along the edge portion that forms the lower edge portion 24 of the edge portions of the main fabric piece p21. And each of the left region 2L and the right region 2R has a non-reinforced region 29 that is a region partitioned by the first branch portion 27, the second branch portion 28, and the joining edge portion 21 and is composed only of the main fabric piece p21. The edge portions that partition the non-reinforced region 29 of the first branch portion 27 and the second branch portion 28 have a shape that curves outward in the plane direction of the non-reinforced region 29. The portion of the reinforcing fabric piece p22 arranged in the front region 2F and the first branch portion 27 arranged in the rear region 2B function to press the lower abdomen of the wearer together with the main fabric piece p21. On the other hand, the second branch portion 28 arranged in the rear region 2B of the reinforcing fabric piece p22 functions to lift the buttocks of the wearer. That is, the second branch portion 28 is a portion that mainly contributes to the hip-up effect. Also, the non-reinforced region 29 functions to weaken the pressing of the wearer's buttocks and form a rounded buttocks.

[0047] The main fabric piece p21 exhibits higher stretchability in the width direction D1 than in the vertical direction D2. As a result, the double fabric 2 stretches sufficiently in the width direction D1, facilitating the switching from the first state to the second state. On the other hand, the reinforcing fabric piece p22 exhibits higher stretchability in the vertical direction D2 than in the width direction D1, and reinforces the main fabric piece p21 with a small degree of stretching in the vertical direction D2.

[0048] The joining of the fabric pieces in the present embodiment is sewing with a thread.

[0049] Note that the bottoms according to the present invention are not limited to the configurations of the above embodiments. Also, the bottoms according to the present invention are not limited by the above-described effects. The bottoms according to the present invention can be variously modified without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0050] For example, the bottoms according to the present invention may be a skirt.
