Patent Document 1

[0004] In recent years, attention has been focused on running for the purpose of improving health. It is known that during running, since a continuous load is applied particularly to the lower body, it is important to maintain a certain posture. Some sports tights are intended to support the maintenance of posture during running.

[0005] During running, so-called "leg swing" is known as one of the phenomena that can occur in an athlete's body. Leg swing means that during the single-leg support phase in which one leg is in contact with the ground and the other leg is not in contact with the ground in a series of running motions, the other leg is behind. When excessive leg swing occurs, the athlete's foot continues to move behind the body, making it difficult to perform an appropriate kick-off. Also, when excessive leg swing occurs during a long-distance run, fatigue is likely to accumulate in the athlete's legs.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide sports tights that are less likely to cause excessive leg swing.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, at least a high-tension portion and a low-tension portion having a tension lower than that of the high-tension portion are combined to form a predetermined shape including a first cylindrical portion surrounding the first leg, a second cylindrical portion surrounding the second leg, and a third cylindrical portion surrounding the lower abdomen. The high-tension portion is arranged to extend at least along a first direction from the middle in the width direction of the third cylindrical portion toward the outer lower ends in the width direction of the first cylindrical portion and the second cylindrical portion, and there is provided a sports tights.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. In the embodiments, as terms indicating directions, the front-rear direction, the width direction, and the up-down direction may be used. Each direction refers to the direction with respect to the body of the wearer in a state where the wearer wearing the sports tights is standing. That is, the front direction indicates the direction the wearer is facing, and the rear direction indicates the direction the wearer's back is facing. The width direction indicates the width direction of the wearer's body. Further, in the following description, short and medium-distance running sports tights of the short pants type will be taken as an example, but the present invention is also applicable to long pants type or half pants type sports tights or long-distance running sports tights.

[0010] FIG. 1 is a front view of the sports tights. As shown in FIG. 1, the sports tights 10 include a front body 12 and a back body 14. The front body 12 covers the front of a part of the wearer's lower body, and the back body 14 covers the back of a part of the wearer's lower body. The front body 12 and the back body 14 are joined to each other at the width direction ends. The sports tights 10 have a three-dimensional shape composed of three cylindrical parts that surround the wearer's two legs and the lower abdomen by joining the front body 12 and the back body 14. More specifically, the sports tights 10 have a three-dimensional shape including a first cylindrical part 16 that surrounds the wearer's first leg (the right leg in the illustrated example), a second cylindrical part 18 that surrounds the wearer's second leg (the left leg in the illustrated example), and a third cylindrical part 20 that surrounds the wearer's lower abdomen. Note that the term "cylindrical part" is used to schematically explain the three-dimensional shape composed of the front body 12 and the back body 14. As can be seen from the following description, since the functions of the first to third cylindrical parts 16, 18, 20 themselves are not directly related to the characteristic parts of the present embodiment, a detailed description of the boundaries between the first to third cylindrical parts 16, 18, 20 will not be given.

[0011] The first cylindrical portion 16 and the second cylindrical portion 18 extend downward from the third cylindrical portion 20. That is, the third cylindrical portion 20 is located above the first cylindrical portion 16 and the second cylindrical portion 18. The lower ends of the first cylindrical portion 16 and the second cylindrical portion 18 extend to positions corresponding to the vicinity of the lower ends of the wearer's thighs respectively. On the lower ends of the first cylindrical portion 16 and the second cylindrical portion 18 and inside the cylinder, an anti-slip S is attached. The anti-slip S is arranged along the inner sides of the first cylindrical portion 16 and the second cylindrical portion 18 so as to surround the thigh portion. The anti-slip S is composed of a structure or material that can increase the frictional force between the anti-slip S and the skin of the wearer of the sports tights 10. As the anti-slip S, for example, parts with a resin material such as silicon resin attached to the inner sides of the first cylindrical portion 16 and the second cylindrical portion 18 can be used. The anti-slip S may be formed by arranging a fabric with a larger coefficient of friction than the fabric constituting the front body 12 and the back body 14, or may be formed by increasing the contact pressure of that part by narrowing the dimensions, etc.

[0012] The sports tights 10 have a structure that generally tightens various parts of the body. Specifically, the front body 12 and the back body 14 of the sports tights 10 are formed of a stretchable fabric (corresponding to the "low-tension part"). The stretchability is a physical value represented by, for example, tension (N). Most of the front body 12 and the back body 14 are formed of a fabric having the same stretchability (tension: f1 [N]). Such a fabric includes, for example, chemical fibers such as nylon. By making the sports tights 10 using such a fabric, when wearing the sports tights 10, the first cylindrical portion 16 tightens the wearer's right leg from all directions, the second cylindrical portion 18 tightens the left leg from all directions, and the third cylindrical portion 20 tightens the wearer's lower abdomen from all directions. Note that the terms "front body" and "back body" are used only for convenience of explanation and do not mean that each of the front body and the back body is formed of a single piece of fabric.

[0013] The sports tights 10 have a high-tension portion 22 formed of a high-tension material. The tension f2 of the high-tension portion 22 is greater than the tension f1 of the fabric forming the low-tension portion. The high-tension portion 22 is a single contiguous area where the high-tension material is applied (coated, printed, etc.) to the fabric forming the low-tension portion. In the present embodiment where the high-tension material is applied onto the fabric, the entire hexagonal area indicated by reference numeral 22 is the high-tension portion 22. That is, the high-tension portion 22 is a concept including the fabric within the hexagonal area and the laminate of the high-tension material. The sports tights 10 have two high-tension portions 22 corresponding to the right leg and the left leg of the wearer, respectively. As the high-tension material, there is a resin material including a high-tension elastomer. As the high-tension material, various materials having a higher tension than the fabric forming most of the front body 12 and the back body 14 (that is, the portions other than the high-tension portion 22) can be used. As the high-tension material, for example, various thermoplastic elastomers such as polyamide-based, polyurethane-based, and polyethylene-based are preferably used. The high-tension material is not limited to thermoplastic elastomers, and thermosetting elastomers may be used.

[0014] Figure 2 is a schematic development view of the front body of the sports tights. In Figure 2, the virtual line L1 indicates a line extending along the position corresponding to the crotch of the wearer when the sports tights 10 are viewed from the front. Note that Figure 2 mainly shows the high-tension portion 22 provided on the right leg side of the wearer, and hereinafter, the high-tension portion 22 provided on the right leg side will be described in detail. The two high-tension portions 22 have the same configuration except at points where they are provided symmetrically with respect to the center of the wearer's body.

[0015] The high-tension portion 22 is provided at positions corresponding to the left and right thighs of the wearer, respectively. The high-tension portion 22 includes a plurality of continuous straight portions 24, and each straight portion 24 is arranged parallel to each other. The high-tension portion 22 extends outward in the width direction and downward (corresponding to the first direction) from the middle in the width direction of the third cylindrical portion 20. The extending direction of the high-tension portion 22 means the extending direction of each straight portion 24.

[0016] As will be described later, when the high-tension portion 22 is formed by a plurality of discontinuous elements and a plurality of groups each composed of some elements are arranged in parallel to each other (the example of FIG. 6 to be described later), the extending direction of the high-tension portion 22 refers to the direction in which the groups are arranged. Further, as will be described later, when the high-tension portion 22 is formed by a plurality of randomly arranged discontinuous elements, the extending direction of the high-tension portion 22 refers to the direction determined by the average vector of the longest diameters of all the elements (FIG. 7 to be described later).

[0017] The thickness of the straight portion 24 and the distance between the straight portions 24 are determined according to the required tension. Increasing the thickness of the straight portion 24 or reducing the distance between the straight portions 24 can increase the tension of the high-tension portion 22. The thickness of the straight portion 24 is, for example, 1 mm to 50 mm, and the distance between each straight portion (the center distance between the straight portions 24) is preferably, for example, 1 mm to 50 mm.

[0018] The high-tension portion 22 extends upward from the lower end of the third cylindrical portion 20 to a position separated by a predetermined distance. Note that the high-tension portion 22 may extend to the lower end of the third cylindrical portion 20. The upper end of the high-tension portion 22 is located at the middle in the width direction of the third cylindrical portion 20, more specifically, near the center in the width direction of the third cylindrical portion 20 when viewed from the front. It is preferable to provide the upper end of the high-tension portion 22 outside the width direction from the center in the width direction of the third cylindrical portion 20 so that the two high-tension portions 22 do not interfere with each other.

[0019] Further, the upper end of the high-tension portion 22 may be positioned so as to avoid the portion corresponding to the crotch of the wearer. In this case, the upper end of the high-tension portion 22 is provided further outside the width direction than near the center of the third cylindrical portion 20. Thereby, in the vicinity of the crotch where the body movements are relatively large during running, it becomes difficult for the high-tension portion 22 to interfere with the movements of the wearer.

[0020] Further, the high-tension portion 22 is arranged so as to avoid the portion A1 covering the pelvis of the wearer. More specifically, the portion A1 covering the pelvis refers to the portion overlapping the ilium of the wearer when viewed from the front. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the high-tension portion 22 from interfering with the movement of the pelvis.

[0021] Further, the high-tension portion 22 is arranged so as to avoid the portion A2 that covers the inner side in the thigh width direction of the wearer. More specifically, the portion A2 that covers the inner side in the thigh width direction refers to the portion where the left and right thighs face each other. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the high-tension portion 22 from giving a sense of discomfort to the wearer or the left and right high-tension portions 22 from rubbing against each other.

[0022] The extending direction of the high-tension portion 22 is an acute angle within a predetermined range (the angular range between the virtual line L3 and the virtual line L4) with respect to the virtual line L2 extending along the center in the width direction of the third cylindrical portion 20. Specifically, the angle formed by the high-tension portion 22 with respect to the virtual line L2 is preferably between 10 degrees and 80 degrees. The position of the intersection of the virtual line L3 and the virtual line L4 is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of increasing the area of the high-tension portion 22 and enhancing the effect of the high-tension portion 22, the intersection is preferably provided relatively upward.

[0023] The extending direction of the high-tension portion 22 may also be determined from another viewpoint. Specifically, the extending direction of the high-tension portion 22 is preferably substantially perpendicular to the virtual line L1 extending along the position corresponding to the groin of the wearer. In this case, the high-tension portion 22 extends parallel to the inguinal ligament of the wearer. Here, the substantially perpendicular to the virtual line L1 extending along the position corresponding to the groin of the wearer means that the angle formed by the high-tension portion 22 with respect to the virtual line L2 is in the range between 40 degrees and 50 degrees. It can also be said so.

[0024] By arranging the high-tension portion 22 in this way, a tensile force is applied between the lower abdomen and the thigh portion of the leg immediately after kicking during running, in opposition to the movement of the thigh portion moving backward. By applying a tensile force between the thigh portion and the lower abdomen, an excessive leg flow phenomenon during running can be prevented, and an improvement in the performance of the wearer of the sports tights 10 can be expected.

[0025] The operation of the sports tights 10 will be described below. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the movement of the legs during running. In Fig. 3, the movement of the legs during running is shown in four stages of states (i) to (iv). Fig. 3 is a view of the runner seen from the right side of the runner. For clarity, the right leg in the foreground is shown by a solid line, and the left leg in the background is shown by a broken line. The model shown in the upper part of Fig. 3 shows the state when the sports tights 10 are not worn, and the model shown in the lower part shows the state when the sports tights 10 are worn.

[0026] State (i) shows the state immediately after the right foot touches the ground and represents the early stage of the single-leg support period by the right foot. State (ii) shows the state at the moment of kicking by the right foot and represents the late stage of the single-leg support period by the right foot. State (iii) shows the state immediately before the left foot touches the ground. State (iv) shows the state immediately after the left foot touches the ground and represents the early stage of the single-leg support period by the left foot. In this specification, "excessive leg flow" refers to a state in which the angle formed between the thigh of the kicked leg (the right leg in Fig. 3) and the virtual line L5 perpendicular to the ground G becomes large from state (ii) to state (iii). That is, it refers to a state in which the difference between the extension angle α1 and the extension angle β1 becomes large.

[0027] Focusing on the right leg in the series of operations in the upper part of Fig. 3, at the moment of kicking by the right leg in state (ii), the extension angle α1 between the thigh of the right leg and the virtual line L5 perpendicular to the ground G is larger than the extension angle α2 in state (ii) in the lower part. Also, in state (iii) following state (ii), the extension angle β1 in the upper model is larger than the extension angle β2 in the lower model. Further, in state (iv) following state (iii), the thigh of the right leg in the lower model is located in front of the virtual line L5, while the thigh of the right leg in the upper model is located near the virtual line L5. That is, in the upper model, the operation of pulling the right leg forward is delayed in the series of operations from state (ii) through state (iii) to state (iv), and as a result, it is considered that the running speed becomes slow due to a slow pitch or the like.

[0028] As a cause of such excessive leg flow, during the transition from state (ii) to state (iii), a delay in the timing of pulling the leg (the right leg in FIG. 3) forward or insufficient muscle strength to pull the leg forward can be considered. The sports tights 10 are designed to improve the cause of such excessive leg flow. In the series of lower - stage movements in FIG. 3, when focusing on the right leg, in state (ii), the extension angle α2 is smaller than the upper - stage extension angle α1. Also, in state (iii), the extension angle β2 is smaller than the upper - stage extension angle β1. Therefore, the difference between the extension angle β2 and the extension angle α2 (β2 - α2) is smaller than the difference between the extension angle β1 and the extension angle α1 (β1 - α1). This is because when the right leg is extended backward from state (ii) to state (iii), a contraction force acts on the stretched high - tension part 22, and the force trying to contract acts in the direction of flexing the hip joint. As a result, the difference between the extension angle β2 and the extension angle α2 (β2 - α2) becomes smaller. The fact that the difference in extension angles (β2 - α2) becomes smaller means that the right leg can be pulled forward more quickly in the process from state (ii) through state (iii) to state (iv). As a result, the phenomenon of excessive leg flow is less likely to occur, and an effect of contributing to the improvement of the performance of the wearer of the sports tights 10 is expected.

[0029] As described above, according to the sports tights 10, it is possible to make it difficult to cause excessive leg flow, and an effect of contributing to the improvement of the performance of the wearer can be expected.

[0030] In the above - described embodiment, the high - tension part 22 is formed by a high - tension material attached to the surface of the front body 12 (see FIG. 1). However, the high - tension part 22 may be formed by attaching or sewing a fabric different from the front body 12 at a predetermined position of the front body 12. Also, the high - tension part 22 may be formed by attaching the high - tension material to the inside (body side) of the front body 12. Further, at the position corresponding to the high - tension part 22, the basis weight of the fabric forming the front body 12 may be partially increased to form the high - tension part 22 inside the front body 12. The high - tension part 22 may be formed by rubber printing, sewing, embroidery, or the like.

[0031] Also, in the embodiment, two types of materials with different tensions are used. However, the sports tights 10 may be made of two or more types of materials with different tensions. As an example, most of the sports tights 10 may be formed by a low-tension part, a medium-tension part that supports the quadriceps femoris may be formed at a position corresponding to the quadriceps femoris, and the high-tension part 22 may be formed at the position described above. In this case, the tension in the high-tension part 22 may be higher than the tension at the location covering the wearer's hamstring, which serves as resistance when the high-tension part 22 is contracted. Therefore, in such a case, the high-tension part 22 does not mean having the highest tension throughout the sports tights 10, but rather means having a tension higher than at least the location covering the wearer's hamstring.

[0032] In the embodiment, the front body 12 and the back body 14 constituting the sports tights 10 are formed of the same fabric. However, the front body 12 and the back body 14 may be formed of fabrics with different tensions. When the front body 12 and the back body 14 are formed of fabrics with different tensions, it is preferable that the tension of the fabric of the back body 14 is smaller than the tension of the fabric of the front body 12.

[0033] As a result of the present inventor's simulation of the tension change distribution in the back body of sports tights during running, it was found that the tension increases in the longitudinal direction of the leg at the hip, particularly near the gluteal fold, when the leg is swung forward. Therefore, by forming the back body 14 with a fabric having a relatively small tension, the hip joint movement is less likely to be inhibited, and thus an effect of improving the performance of the wearer of the sports tights 10 can also be expected.

[0034] Hereinafter, further modifications of the embodiment will be described. In the following modifications, various shapes or arrangements of the elements constituting the high-tension part will be described. In the following description, the shape of the high-tension part on the right leg side will be described in detail in the same manner as the example shown in FIG. 2. FIGS. 4 to 7 are enlarged front views of a part of the sports tights according to the modification.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 4, the thickness of the straight portion 24 forming the high-tension portion 22 may be changed. In this case, it is preferable to make the thickness of the straight portion 24 on the inner side in the width direction the thickest and gradually reduce the thickness of the straight portion 24 toward the outer side in the width direction. As a result of the motion analysis of athletes by the inventors, it was found that the location where the most stretching force acts on the front body 12 (see FIG. 1) in the state (ii) (see FIG. 3) is near the inner side in the thigh width direction. Therefore, by increasing the thickness of the straight portion 24 near the inner side in the thigh width direction, it is possible to more efficiently make it difficult to generate leg flow.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 5, the interval between the plurality of straight portions 24 forming the high-tension portion 22 may be changed. Based on the results of the above-described motion analysis, by making the interval between the straight portions 24 the narrowest near the inner side in the thigh width direction, it is possible to efficiently make it difficult to generate leg flow.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 6, the high-tension portion 22 may be formed by discontinuous elements. In the example of FIG. 6, a plurality of rhombus portions 30 are arranged linearly, and the dimensions of the rhombus portion 30 near the inner side in the thigh width direction are the largest. Even if the high-tension portion 22 is formed by such discontinuous elements, a certain leg flow prevention effect can be expected.

[0038] In the example shown in FIG. 7, the high-tension portion 22 is formed by a plurality of elongated triangular portions 32. The plurality of triangular portions 32 are arranged without gaps in the opposite direction to the adjacent triangular portions 32 so that the density of the high-tension portion 22 can be increased. Thus, even if the shape of the straight portion 24 is changed, a certain leg flow prevention effect can be expected.

[0039] FIG. 8 is a front view of the sports tights according to the modified example. The sports tights 10 according to the modified example, in addition to the above-described configuration, includes a tension structure 40 that applies a tensile force in a direction orthogonal to a virtual line L1 (see FIG. 2) extending along the crotch of the wearer. The tension structure 40 is formed by a so-called dart structure in which the fabric is pinched and sewn. Specifically, the tension structure 40 is formed by applying darts along the virtual line L1. Even with such a tension structure 40, it is possible to make it difficult to generate leg flow by the same action as the high-tension portion 22.

[0040] FIG. 9 is a side view of the sports tights according to the modified example. The sports tights 10 according to the modified example, in addition to the above-described configuration, has a structure in which a coupling line L6 extending in the vertical direction between the front body part 12 and the back body part 14 has a bent shape that protrudes rearward in the middle part. In the illustrated example, the coupling line L6 is bent so as to be convex in the buttocks direction at the height of the buttocks. Even with such a structure, it is possible to make it difficult to generate leg flow by the same action as the high-tension portion 22.

[0041] FIG. 10 is a front view of the sports tights according to the modified example. The sports tights 10 according to the modified example includes an anti-slip Su provided on the inner surface of the third cylindrical portion 20 and anti-slips Sl provided on the inner surfaces of the first cylindrical portion 16 and the second cylindrical portion 18, respectively. The upper end portion of the high-tension portion 22 extends to a position corresponding to the anti-slip Su provided on the third cylindrical portion 20. That is, when the sports tights 10 are viewed from the front, the upper end of the high-tension portion 22 and the anti-slip Su overlap. The lower end portion of the high-tension portion 22 extends to a position corresponding to the anti-slips Sl provided on the first cylindrical portion 16 and the second cylindrical portion 18. That is, when the sports tights 10 are viewed from the front, the lower end of the high-tension portion 22 and the anti-slip Sl overlap. By overlapping the upper and lower ends of the high-tension portion 22 with the anti-slip Su in this way, the resistance force acting when the high-tension portion 22 is pulled in the extending direction becomes larger, and it is expected to enhance the effect of making it difficult to generate excessive leg flow. Note that only one of the upper and lower ends of the high-tension portion 22 may overlap with the anti-slips Su and Sl.

[0042] FIG. 11 is a front view of the sports tights according to the embodiment. More specifically, FIG. 11 shows the results of a wearing simulation for examining the direction and magnitude of the tension generated in the sports tights at the maximum extension of the hip joint. In FIG. 11, the magnitude of the tension is represented by the shade of color, indicating that a greater tension is generated as the color is darker. The direction of the tension is represented by thin lines, and the direction in which the thin lines extend corresponds to the direction of the tension. The white arrow in FIG. 11 clearly shows the direction and magnitude of the tension generated near the groin. The direction of the arrow represents the direction of the tension generated near the groin. Also, the thickness of the arrow represents the relative magnitude of the tension generated near the groin, and the thick arrow has a greater tension than the thin arrow. Note that the length of the arrow is independent of the magnitude of the tension.

[0043] The conditions of the simulation are as follows. · Tension of the front body fabric: 2.0 N / cm at 40% elongation · Tension of the back body fabric: 0.8 N / cm at 40% elongation · Movement of the human body model: Short-distance running movement at a speed of 10 m / second

[0044] As a result of performing the simulation under these conditions, as shown in FIG. 11, it was found that at the time of hip joint extension, tension is generated along the direction from the middle in the width direction of the third cylinder portion 20 toward the outer lower end in the width direction of the first cylinder portion 16 (second cylinder portion 18). In particular, it became clear from this simulation result that a greater tension is generated in the portion along the groin and more so on the inner side of the groin. Therefore, by extending the high-tension portion 22 along a predetermined direction taking into account the tension direction, an effect of preventing excessive leg flow can be expected.
