Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to pants. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there has been known a jacket equipped with a blower that takes in outside air. While wearing such a jacket allows the wearer to cool the upper half of the body, it has been difficult to cool the lower half of the body. For example, Patent Document 1 below discloses a waist belt for air-conditioned clothing that is worn around the waist of a worker and is used together with an air-conditioned suit (registered trademark) that incorporates a small fan. This waist belt for air-conditioned clothing is configured with a belt base that has joints at both lateral ends that can be locked together, and multiple cylindrical tubes made of a flexible material that extend vertically from the belt base. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5840271 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the waist belt for air-conditioned clothing described in Patent Document 1 requires the wearer to wrap the waist belt under work trousers, and there is also a concern that the belt may shift around the waist or vertically.

[0005] The present disclosure has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned situation, and aims to provide trousers that are easy to put on and can prevent spacers from shifting out of position when worn with a top equipped with a blower, while still allowing the lower body to be cooled. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, configuration 1 of the trousers of the present disclosure is characterized in that the trousers are inserted into a top equipped with a blower that takes in outside air, and have a storage section on the inner side that holds a spacer that ensures an air flow passage that communicates with the space inside the top.

[0007] The following description of the embodiments discloses that the pants according to the present disclosure may have the following subsidiary configurations. <Configuration 2> In configuration 1, the storage section may be provided in a back region of the waistband. <Configuration 3> In configuration 2, the storage section may include a downward extension section that extends downward from the waistband section so as to be able to store the spacer arranged so that its longitudinal direction is in the vertical direction. <Configuration 4> In configuration 2 or 3, the waistband portion may have an extension portion that extends upward at the central portion of the back side where the storage portion is provided relative to other portions, and the storage portion may be provided in a portion including the extension portion and configured to store the spacer arranged so that its longitudinal direction is in the vertical direction. <Configuration 5> In any one of configurations 1 to 4, the housing portion may be a pocket portion that houses the entire spacer. <Configuration 6> In any one of configurations 1 to 5, a plurality of the housing portions may be provided to house a plurality of the spacers. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The pants of the present disclosure are configured as described above, so that when worn together with a top equipped with a ventilation device, they can cool the lower body, while being easy to put on and preventing the spacers from shifting out of position. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] [Figure 1]1 is a partially cutaway schematic rear view showing an example of a pair of trousers according to an embodiment of the present disclosure and an example of a jacket with a blower to be worn together with the trousers. [Figure 2] 2 is a schematic, partially cutaway longitudinal sectional view taken along the line XX in FIG. 1. [Figure 3] FIG. [Figure 4] 1. (a) is a partially cutaway, enlarged schematic front view of the trousers with a portion thereof omitted, and (b) is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along the line YY in FIG. [Figure 5] 4(a) and 4(b) are schematic cross-sectional views each showing a modified example of the trousers, corresponding to FIG. 4(b). DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following embodiment, directions such as the up-down direction will be described based on a wearer wearing trousers according to this embodiment in a standing position.

[0011] 1 to 5 are diagrams schematically showing an example and a modified example of trousers according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, pants 1 according to this embodiment are preferably worn together with a top 2 equipped with a blower (hereinafter referred to as "top") 2, which is fitted with a blower 3 for taking in outside air. The pants 1 are configured with a housing 17 on the inner side for holding a spacer 9 that is inserted into the top 2 and ensures an air flow passage communicating with the space inside the top 2. With this configuration, by wearing the pants 1 with the spacer 9 held in the housing 17, the spacer 9 can be inserted into the top 2, eliminating the need for a separate waist belt or the like for the air-conditioned suit, and allowing for easy donning. Furthermore, because the spacer 9 can be held on the inner side of the pants 1, the spacer 9 can be made less noticeable even when the bottom hem 8 of the top 2 shifts upward, compared to a configuration in which a cylindrical tube is provided on the outer periphery of the belt base. Furthermore, when the upper garment 2 is worn in this manner, by driving the air blower 3, the spacer 9 forms an air flow passage that communicates with the space inside the upper garment 2, and air can be taken into the trousers 1 through this air flow passage, thereby cooling the lower half of the wearer's body. Furthermore, because the spacer 9 is held in a storage portion (17) provided in the trousers 1, it is possible to prevent the trousers 1 from shifting out of position. An example of a specific configuration of the trousers 1 will be described later, followed by an example of the upper garment 2.

[0012] In the illustrated example, the top 2 is a long-sleeved top (clothing for the upper body). The top 2 may be made of an appropriate material such as soft cotton or polyester that has low breathability (or no breathability). The top 2 comprises a front body 5, a back body 4, left and right sleeves 6, 6, and a collar 7. The front body 5 and the back body 4 are joined by stitching or the like, and the left and right sleeves 6, 6 and the collar 7 may be joined to the front body 5 and the back body 4 by stitching or the like. The bottom end of the top 2 (the front body 5 and the back body 4) is provided with a hem 8 configured to fit snugly against the wearer's body or clothing such as underwear. The hem 8 forms a drawstring that prevents air from leaking downward. The hem 8 may be configured to include a stretchable material such as rubber. The hem 8 may be joined to the lower edges of the front body 5 and the back body 4 by stitching or the like.

[0013] The front body 5 may be separated into a left front body 5 and a right front body 5. In this case, the joining part of the left and right front body parts 5 may be provided with opening and closing parts 5a (see FIG. 4(b)) for opening and closing the front part of the top 2. Such opening and closing parts 5a may be interlocking linear fasteners (slide fasteners) or hook-and-loop fasteners, or may be buttons, or a combination of these. The upper garment 2 has mounting holes for attaching the air blowers 3. In the illustrated example, the mounting holes are provided in the back body 4. More specifically, two mounting holes are provided in the back body 4. These mounting holes are provided so as to penetrate the back body 4. These mounting holes are provided at the same height in the vertical direction and spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction. More specifically, these mounting holes are provided at positions symmetrical about a center line passing through the center of the back body 4 in the left-right direction. The height positions (vertical positions) at which these mounting holes are provided, i.e., the height positions at which the air blowers 3, 3 described below are attached, may be appropriately determined depending on the preferences, work content, working posture, etc. of the wearer wearing the upper garment 2, and are not limited to the height positions shown in the illustrations. An appropriate reinforcing sheet may be provided around the mounting holes in the upper garment 2 (back body 4) to reinforce the periphery of the mounting holes.

[0014] The blowers 3, 3 attached to each of these mounting holes may be configured, for example, with a cylindrical portion constituting a fan case, accommodating drive units such as blades and a motor. The blower 3 may be an axial fan. The cylindrical portion has a thin, approximately cylindrical shape. An intake port for drawing in outside air is provided on the outside, which is one axial side of the cylindrical portion (the surface side of the upper garment 2, the side away from the wearer), and an outlet port for blowing outside air into the upper garment 2 is provided on the inside, which is the other axial side of the cylindrical portion (the back side of the upper garment 2). Appropriate linear or lattice-shaped guard portions are provided at the intake port and outlet port of the cylindrical portion. A flange-like portion that protrudes radially outward along the entire circumference is provided on the suction port-side peripheral edge of the cylindrical portion of the blower device 3, which is on the surface side of the cylindrical portion. The outer diameter of this flange-like portion is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting hole. Although not shown, a ring-like member is attached to the cylindrical portion of the blower device 3 in a fitted manner. This ring-like member has an inner diameter that corresponds to the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion. This ring-like member and the flange-like portion may be configured to sandwich and hold the peripheral edge of the mounting hole. The cylindrical portion and the ring-like member may be provided with appropriate locking portions that detachably lock them to each other.

[0015] The air blower 3 is provided with an appropriate connector to which one end of a power cord that supplies driving power to the air blower 3 is connected. The other end of the power cord is connected to a power supply device that constitutes a power supply unit. Such a power supply device may be configured to accommodate replaceable dry batteries or the like, or preferably to incorporate a rechargeable secondary battery (storage battery). In this case, the power supply device may be provided with an appropriate connector to be connected to a commercial power source (external power source) or the like when charging the secondary battery. The power supply device may be provided with an operation unit that is operated to turn the air blower 3 on (start) / off (stop) and an air volume adjustment operation unit that is operated to adjust (change) the air volume of the air blower 3. The power supply device may also be provided with a display unit that displays the air volume strength level and operating status of the air blower 3, an estimate of the remaining capacity of the secondary battery, etc. A storage unit for storing the power supply device and a holder for holding a midpoint of the power cord may be provided in an appropriate position on the upper garment 2. The blower device 3 may have a configuration that does not have a flange portion as described above, and is not limited to a configuration that is substantially cylindrical, but may have a configuration that is substantially rectangular tubular.

[0016] When using the top 2 equipped with the air blower 3 configured as described above, the top 2 is put on, the front openings 5a, 5a are closed, and the air blower 3 is driven. This allows outside air to be drawn into the top 2 through the inlet of the air blower 3, creating an air circulation space between the wearer and the inner surface of the top 2, thereby cooling the wearer. The air drawn into the top 2 is then discharged from outlets such as the space between the collar 7 and the neck and the cuffs of the sleeves 6, 6. Furthermore, since the spacer 9 held in the storage section (17) of the trousers 1 is inserted into the top 2, air can also be drawn into the trousers 1. The top 2 worn together with the trousers 1 according to this embodiment is not limited to the configuration described above, and may have various other configurations. Furthermore, although the top 2 has long sleeves, it may also be a short-sleeved top or a sleeveless top (vest), etc.

[0017] The trousers (pants) 1 are long trousers in the form of slacks, as shown in Fig. 3. The trousers 1 may be made of an appropriate material such as cotton or polyester that is flexible and has low or no breathability, similar to the top 2. The trousers 1 may also have appropriate flame retardancy depending on the intended use. As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the trousers 1 comprise a front body 10 and a back body 12 that define a tubular crotch section separated into left and right halves below the crotch section and the rise section. The front body 10 comprises a left front body 10A and a right front body 10B, and the back body 12 comprises a left back body 12A and a right back body 12B. The left front body 10A and the left back body 12A are joined by stitching or the like, and the right front body 10B and the right back body 12B are joined by stitching or the like to form the left and right tubular crotch sections. The front body 10 has a front fly 11 that can be opened and closed by a zipper or the like. The upper end of the front fly 11 is provided with a fastener 11a such as a button.

[0018] A waistband 13 is provided at the upper end of the trousers 1. The waistband 13 is provided around the entire periphery of the upper end of the trousers 1 so as to extend in the circumferential direction. The fastener 11a of the front opening 11 is provided so as to be located at the waistband 13. As shown in Figure 2, this waistband portion 13 is thicker than other portions of the trousers 1 and is made up of, for example, an outer fabric, a lining, and an interlining, and has greater shape retention than other portions. The upper end of the trousers 1 is provided with belt loops 15 through which a belt wound around the waistband 13 is inserted to hold the belt. The belt loops 15 are provided at multiple locations spaced apart in the circumferential direction at the upper end of the trousers 1. In the illustrated example, the belt loops 15 are joined at their upper ends to the waistband 13 and at their lower ends to the front body 10 and back body 12 below the waistband 13, but this is not limitative. The trousers 1 may be provided with pockets at appropriate locations, although this is not shown. Furthermore, the trousers 1 are not limited to the above-described configuration, and may further include an appropriate yoke or the like, or may have various other configurations.

[0019] As shown in Figures 4(a) and 4(b), the trousers 1 are provided with a plurality of storage compartments (17) for storing a plurality of spacers 9. With this configuration, a spacer 9 can be held in each of the storage compartments (17), and an air flow passage communicating with the space inside the upper garment 2 can be more effectively secured. As shown in Figures 2 and 4(a), the storage section (17) is provided in the back region of the waistband 13. With this configuration, the spacer 9 can be held on the back side of the trousers 1, ensuring an airflow path between the wearer's waist and buttocks and the trousers 1, thereby cooling the lower body including the areas passing through these. Furthermore, since the storage section (17) is provided in the waistband 13, which is relatively thicker than other areas, the spacer 9 can be held stably. As a result, when putting on the trousers 1, the spacer 9 held in the storage section (17) is less likely to tilt in an unintended direction, improving wearability.

[0020] The storage section (17) is configured to store a spacer 9 arranged so that its longitudinal direction is in the vertical direction. With this configuration, the spacer 9 forms an air flow passage that vertically connects the space inside the top 2 and the space inside the trousers 1, allowing air to be taken into the trousers 1 more effectively. The storage section (17) includes a downward extension section 17b that extends downward from the waist belt section 13 so that the spacer 9, which is arranged so that its longitudinal direction is in the vertical direction, can be stored. With this configuration, the spacer 9, which is arranged so that its longitudinal direction is in the vertical direction, can be stably held. Furthermore, since the spacer 9 is provided so as to extend downward from the waist belt section 13, air can be effectively delivered toward the buttocks and other areas below the waist.

[0021] The waist belt 13 has an extension 14 that extends upward from the center of the back region where the storage section (17) is provided, further than other regions. With this configuration, even if the hem 8 of the upper garment 2 shifts upward, the spacer 9 arranged on the inner side of the extension 14 makes it easier to ensure an airflow passage that communicates with the space inside the upper garment 2. The storage section (17) is provided in a region that includes this extension 14. With this configuration, the spacer 9, which is arranged so that its longitudinal direction is the up-down direction, can be stably held by the region of the waist belt 13 that includes the extension 14. That is, in this embodiment, the storage section (17) includes a lower extension 17b that extends downward from the waist belt 13, and an upper extension 17a located at the extension 14 of the waist belt 13. With this configuration, the spacer 9, which is elongated in the up-down direction, can be stably held. Furthermore, even when a belt is wrapped around the outer periphery of the waistband portion 13, the spacer 9, which is larger than the belt width, is arranged to extend vertically on the inner periphery (wearer side) of the belt, so that an air flow passage that communicates vertically can be effectively secured.

[0022] The extension portion 14 is formed in a continuous manner on the back side of the waist belt portion 13. The extension portion 14 has an upper edge that is parallel to the upper edge of the front side portion that constitutes the rest of the waist belt portion 13. On both sides of the upper edge of this extension portion 14, inclined portions are provided that slope downward toward the left-right outer side. In other words, on both left-right sides of the extension portion 14, there are formed portions whose vertical dimension decreases toward the front side of the waist belt portion 13. In other words, the back side of the waist belt portion 13 is formed so that its vertical dimension increases from the left-right outer side toward the extension portion 14 on the left-right center side. With this configuration, the extension portion 14 is less likely to tip over than in a configuration in which both side portions of the extension portion 14 and the upper edge of the waist belt portion 13 on both sides are perpendicular, i.e., in a configuration in which only the rectangular extension portion 14 extends upward when viewed in the front-to-rear direction. In the illustrated example, the inclined portions provided on both sides of the upper edge of the extension portion 14 are formed in multiple steps (two steps in the illustrated example) so that the angle of inclination with respect to the upper edge is larger at the center in the left-right direction than at the outer left-right direction. Instead of this embodiment, the inclined portions may be formed so as to incline in a substantially linear manner, or may be formed in a concave curve.

[0023] The vertical dimension of the extension portion 14 (the vertical dimension from the upper edge of another portion of the waist belt portion 13 to the upper edge of the extension portion 14) may be an appropriate dimension so that the spacer 9 can be stably held and so that it does not get in the way. The vertical dimension of the extension portion 14 may be, for example, about 0.5 to 3 times, or about 1 to 2 times, the vertical dimension of the other portion of the waist belt portion 13. In other words, the vertical dimension of the portion of the waist belt portion 13 where the extension portion 14 is provided, including the extension portion 14, may be about 1.5 to 4 times, or about 2 to 3 times, the vertical dimension of the other portion of the waist belt portion 13. The dimension of the extension portion 14 along the left-right direction (the dimension of the portion of the extension portion 14 having an upper edge parallel to the upper edges of other portions of the waistband portion 13 along the left-right direction) may be smaller than the dimension of the back body 12 along the left-right direction. The dimension of the extension portion 14 along the left-right direction may be about 1 / 5 to 4 / 5, or about 2 / 5 to 3 / 5, of the dimension of the back body 12 along the left-right direction.

[0024] The storage section (17) is a pocket section 17 that stores the entire spacer 9. With this configuration, the spacer 9 is less likely to get caught when putting on or taking off the trousers 1, compared to a configuration in which the spacer 9 is held in the storage section (17) so that a portion of the spacer 9 is exposed. Also, the spacer 9 is prevented from coming into direct contact with the skin, improving comfort. The pocket portion 17 is provided in the spacer holding portion 16 made of mesh fabric. With this configuration, the spacer holding portion 16 is less likely to obstruct air circulation. The spacer holding portion 16 is configured to be able to hold a plurality of spacers 9. In the illustrated example, five pocket portions 17 are provided in parallel on the left and right sides of the spacer holding portion 16, with the central pocket portion 17 being positioned at the center of the back body 12 in the left-right direction. The spacer holding portion 16 has a substantially rectangular shape when viewed in the front-rear direction. The dimension of the spacer holding portion 16 in the left-right direction corresponds to the dimension of the extension portion 14 in the left-right direction. The dimension of the spacer holding portion 16 in the left-right direction may be slightly smaller than the dimension of the extension portion 14 in the left-right direction.

[0025] The vertical dimension of the spacer holding portion 16 corresponds to the length of the spacer 9 so that the spacer 9 can be accommodated. The vertical dimension of the spacer holding portion 16 may be appropriately determined so that an upper extension 17a and a lower extension 17b constituting a pocket portion 17 are formed on both the top and bottom of the portion of the waist belt portion 13 excluding the extension 14. The vertical dimension of the spacer holding portion 16 may be approximately two to eight times, or may be approximately four to six times, the vertical dimension of the portion of the waist belt portion 13 excluding the extension 14. In the illustrated example, the vertical dimension of the spacer holding portion 16 is approximately twice the vertical dimension of the portion of the waist belt portion 13 including the extension 14. The spacer holding portion 16 may have all four sides joined to the waistband 13 including the extension portion 14 and the back body 12 by sewing or the like, or may have an upper approximately half joined to the waistband 13 including the extension portion 14. In other words, the lower approximately half of the spacer holding portion 16 may be left unjoined to the trousers 1. The spacer holding portion 16 may be joined to the object to be joined by welding or the like instead of sewing, or may be joined detachably or non-detachably by an appropriate fastener or the like.

[0026] Each pocket 17 has a bottom at its lower end and is a long, bottomed, cylindrical shape that is open at its upper end, and is configured to hold a spacer 9 in a removable manner. In the illustrated example, spacers 9 are housed in the three pockets 17 at the left and right ends and the center of the five pockets 17, but this is not a limitation. These pockets 17 and the spacers 9 housed therein are appropriately configured so that airflow passages that communicate between the space inside the jacket 2 and the space inside the trousers 1 are formed on both sides of each spacer 9. These pockets 17 and the spacers 9 housed therein may also be configured so that airflow passages measuring approximately 5 mm to 60 mm in the left-right and front-to-back directions are formed on both sides of the spacer 9. Each pocket portion 17 may be formed by forming a cylindrical portion of the left-right middle portion of the fabric that constitutes the spacer holding portion 16, or may be formed by joining, by sewing or the like, a cylindrical portion that defines each pocket portion 17 to one thickness-wise surface of the sheet-like member that constitutes the spacer holding portion 16. Alternatively, the spacer holding portion 16 may have a multi-layer (for example, two-layer) sheet structure in which sheets are stacked in the thickness direction, and each pocket portion 17 may be defined and formed by joining, by sewing or the like, the sheets on both sides in the thickness direction. The spacer holding portion 16 may be made of an appropriate material that is flexible and highly breathable. Such a material may be, for example, a mesh fabric woven into a net shape using a tricot knitting machine, a raschel knitting machine, or the like. The spacer holding portion 16 is not limited to mesh fabric, and may be made of other breathable fabrics.

[0027] The spacers 9 held by the spacer holder 16 are tubular and elongated in the vertical direction. These spacers 9 are cylindrical with a hollow space running through them in the longitudinal direction. These spacers 9 are made of a relatively flexible and cushioned material so that they can deform in response to the wearer's movements and are less likely to cause discomfort. By making the spacers 9 cylindrical with a hollow space running through them in the longitudinal direction, they are more easily crushed and less likely to cause discomfort. Furthermore, these spacers 9 may be made of a non-breathable material that prevents air from passing across them. This configuration facilitates the formation of an air flow from the upper side (the space inside the jacket 2) to the lower side (the space inside the trousers 1), which is expected to have a streamlining effect. These spacers 9 may be made of a foamed resin material such as foamed polyethylene.

[0028] The vertical dimension of these spacers 9 may be approximately the same as the vertical dimension of the pocket portion 17 (spacer holding portion 16), or may be smaller or larger than the vertical dimension of the pocket portion 17. The outer diameter of these spacers 9 may be set to an appropriate size so as to ensure the air circulation space as described above and to prevent discomfort, for example, approximately 15 mm to 40 mm, or approximately 20 mm to 30 mm. The inner diameter of these spacers 9 may be set to an appropriate size depending on the outer diameter described above and to facilitate appropriate deformation, and may be, for example, about 5 mm to 30 mm, or about 10 mm to 20 mm. The thickness (diametric dimension) of the cylindrical wall of these spacers 9 may be an appropriate dimension that allows for the air circulation space as described above and that allows for moderate deformation so as to prevent discomfort, and may be, for example, approximately 5 mm to 20 mm.

[0029] Next, a modified example of the trousers will be described with reference to FIG. In each of the following modified examples, differences from the previously described example will be mainly described, and explanations of similar configurations will be omitted or briefly explained. In each modified example, explanations of the same operational effects as those of the previously described example will also be omitted or briefly explained.

[0030] FIG. 5(a) schematically shows trousers 1A according to a first modified example. In this modification, the structure of the spacer 9A is different from that of the above example. In this modification, the spacer 9A has a semicircular shape when viewed in the longitudinal direction. The spacer 9A has a semicylindrical shape with a hollow portion penetrating in the longitudinal direction. The illustrated example shows an example in which the spacer 9A is held in the pocket portion 17 with the side of the outer peripheral surface having a convex curved surface facing the wearer. While the illustrated example shows an example in which the spacer 9A is housed in all five pocket portions 17, the present invention is not limited to this example.

[0031] FIG. 5(b) schematically shows trousers 1B according to a second modified example. In this modified example, the configuration of the spacer holding portion 16A is different from the above-described example. In this modified example, trousers 1B are provided with a plurality of spacer holding portions 16A (three in the illustrated example) that partition a plurality of pockets 17A, each of which accommodates a spacer 9. Of these three spacer holding portions 16A, the central spacer holding portion 16A is located at the center of the back body 12 in the left-right direction, and the spacer holding portions 16A, 16A on both sides are located at equal intervals from the central spacer holding portion 16A. Each of these spacer holding portions 16A is formed in a cylindrical shape and is respectively joined to the object to be joined (the waistband portion 13 or the back body 12).

[0032] The different configurations described in the above examples may be modified as needed, rearranged, or combined for application. In the above examples, the trousers 1, 1A, 1B are provided with the storage section (17, 17A) positioned at the center in the left-right direction of the back body 12, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the above examples, five or three storage sections (17, 17A) are provided in the trousers 1, 1A, 1B, but two, four, or even six or more may be provided. In each of the above examples, the trousers 1, 1A, 1B are provided with multiple storage sections (17, 17A) for storing multiple spacers 9, 9A, but the trousers may also be configured with one storage section (17, 17A) for storing multiple spacers 9, 9A, or with only one storage section (17, 17A) for storing one spacer 9, 9A. In the above examples, the trousers 1, 1A, 1B are provided with a storage portion (17, 17A) that stores the entire spacer 9, 9A, but it may also be configured to store, for example, approximately half of the spacer 9, 9A.

[0033] In each of the above examples, an extension portion 14 is provided on the back side of the trousers 1, 1A, 1B, and an upper extension portion 17a and a lower extension portion 17b are provided in the storage portion (17, 17A), but it is also possible to have a configuration in which one or both of these are not provided. In the above examples, the storage section (17, 17A) is provided in the back region, but instead of or in addition to this, it may be provided on the lateral or front side, etc. In these cases, a storage section generally similar to the above may be provided in the lateral or front region of the waist belt, or an extension section generally similar to the above that extends higher than other regions may be provided in the region of the waist belt where the storage section is provided. In the above examples, the trousers 1, 1A, and 1B are long trousers, but they are not limited to long trousers and may be shorts or the like.
