Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an intermediate garment that is worn under a kimono and wrapped around the wearer's torso when putting on the kimono. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, body contouring was essential when wearing a kimono, requiring multiple steps, numerous tools, and skilled techniques. Fabric and cotton were tightly attached to the body to create a cylindrical shape, resulting in a lack of breathability and heat dissipation, a reduced range of motion, and breathlessness. Patent Document 1 describes a method of filling in and compensating for sunken areas of the body. However, this configuration lacks breathability and heat dissipation, making it incompatible with the heat caused by global warming in recent years. Furthermore, it is difficult to escape the pressure from the strings needed to adjust the length, resulting in problems such as a lack of range of motion and breathlessness.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3159403 (U3159403) Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] To provide an undergarment that forms a gap between a kimono or the like and the body when the kimono is worn, ensures a range of motion and breathing, and preferably ensures breathability and heat dissipation, reduces discomfort when worn, and also allows for body shape adjustment after wearing the kimono. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present invention provides (1) An intermediate garment worn under a kimono and wrapped around the wearer's torso when wearing a kimono. An intermediate garment characterized by having a body portion formed of a plate material that is elastically deformable and has a bending load of 0.1 to 36N. (2) The mid-layer garment according to (1), characterized in that the torso is perforated. is. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] This invention provides mid-layer garments that, when worn, create a gap between the kimono and the body, ensuring range of motion and breathing, and preferably ensuring breathability and heat dissipation, reducing discomfort while wearing the kimono, and allowing for slender, contoured body shapes. The waist circumference of the mid-layer garment is formed into a roughly circular shape on the outside of the wearer's body by the resilience of an elastic plate, and is suspended from the shoulders by fabric on the shoulders and back, maintaining a shape similar to a stocky figure. Since the various strings required for putting on the kimono and the outer kimono are attached from the outside of the mid-layer garment, pressure from the strings, kimono, obi, etc. is applied directly to the mid-layer garment, freeing the body from pressure. The waist circumference is easily secured, the garment can be donned in a short amount of time, and the mid-layer garment provides a contoured silhouette while providing a beautiful silhouette.

[0008] The mid-length garment according to an embodiment of the present invention is worn under the kimono when putting on the kimono, wrapped around the wearer's torso, and is elastically deformable. It comprises a torso section 1 formed from a plate material that, in a bending test for a component, applies a force of 0.1 to 36 N at a bending displacement of 10 mm in a three-point bending test using a 50 mm x 100 mm test piece with a freely supported beam at both ends and applying a force to the center.

[0009] "Bending load measurement method" The testing machine and test conditions used for measuring the bending load in this test are as follows: Manufacturer: Instron Japan Company Limited Model number: 5565 material testing machine Specifications: Maximum capacity 5kN / Test speed 0.01~500mm / min Test conditions Test piece: 50 x 100 mm Test speed: 100 mm / min Distance between fulcrums: 80mm Test piece width tolerance: 5mm ± 5mm In a three-point bending test, a force was applied to the center of a beam supported freely at both ends, and the load (N) applied when the bending displacement was 10 mm was measured.

[0010] The bending load of the plate material for the body portion used in the present invention must be 0.1 to 36N. If the bending load is less than 0.1N, the hardness of the plate material is low, and the ring-shaped body formed by the plate material itself will not hold, and the circular shape will not be maintained even with the wearing pressure of rubber. When wearing the mid-layer garment, the gap space between the body and the mid-layer garment will collapse, distorting the circular shape and causing the garment to stick tightly to the body, which is undesirable. If the bending load exceeds 36N, the hardness of the plate material will be high, and when the ring-shaped body is formed and worn, the plate material will be more likely to crack, which is undesirable as it will reduce the safety and wearability of the garment as a mid-layer garment worn on the body.

[0011] Regarding the bending load of the plate material, forming the torso using a plate material in the range of 0.1 to 4 N provides moderate elasticity and is preferable for children's kimonos or kimonos that do not require length adjustment with strings, such as two-piece kimonos, and for wearing pre-tied obi such as two-piece obi or pre-tied obi. These kimonos and obi are assisted in length adjustment and obi formation with sewing, rubber, hook-and-loop fasteners, etc., so that they can be worn without the need for tight tying with strings, and are preferable when they can be worn with just enough pressure to not distort the circular shape maintained by the plate material.

[0012] Regarding the bending load of the plate material, it is preferable to use a plate material in the range of 4 to 20 N when wearing something that requires length adjustment or sash formation. Although this varies depending on the type of kimono and obi being worn, it is preferable when the length adjustment and sash formation are done with strings, and the kimono and obi need to be fixed with just enough pressure to prevent them from coming loose while being worn. Regarding the bending load of the plate material, using a plate material in the range of 20 to 36 N is preferable when it is necessary to adjust the length of the kimono or the obi with strings when wearing it, and when wearing a kimono such as a long, thick obi or furisode, which is heavy and requires a lot of pressure when wearing it.

[0013] If the force (N) applied to the torso portion of the mid-layer garment when it is bent by 10 mm is 0.1 to 36 N, the shape of the garment that is maintained by the mid-layer garment and is necessary for the inching movement required for putting on the kimono can be maintained. The plate material that makes up the body is preferably plastic because it is lightweight, and sheet-like materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate, ABS, polystyrene, fluororesin, and PET are preferred.

[0014] The torso is preferably made up of 2 to 4 parts, with a vertical length (height direction) of 10 to 25 cm. Having a torso made up of multiple parts makes it convenient for storage and carrying, and simplifies repair and replacement, but it can also be made up of a single piece if frequent use and durability are required. In either shape, it is preferable that the waist circumference and length can be adjusted when worn. The body plate may be flat or curved. By connecting the curved plates, it is possible to obtain a resilient force and create space around the body while maintaining its shape, thereby providing a mid-layer garment that is comfortable and comfortable to wear.

[0015] The plates that make up the torso are preferably connected at the back or sides. Connecting the plates near the back prevents the sides near the arms from spreading, preventing interference with arm movement, and maintaining space around the chest, ribs, and xiphoid process, which move frequently with breathing, allowing for easier breathing. When the connection is located at the sides, the mid-layer garment can be quickly put on and taken off. The connection can be secured by known methods such as hook-and-loop fasteners, zippers, snap fasteners, magnets, adjustable buckles or belts, latches, hooks, and slide hooks, and stays in place without easily loosening or constricting. The waist circumference adjustment part is preferably arranged on the waist part (abdominal side) where it can be easily fixed by the wearer.

[0016] The torso portion of the mid-layer garment is preferably length-adjustable for ease of donning. It is preferable for this length-adjustable portion to be suspended from the shoulders by a string- or belt-like strap. However, if the torso position can be maintained by the board itself, it may be constructed without such a length-adjustable portion. It may also be combined with an existing separate kimono collar (such as Mito 3066665). Known strings and belts can be used, and widths of 2 to 15 cm are preferred.

[0017] The length (in the direction of waist circumference) and width (in the direction of extension) of the plate material vary depending on the body shape, from a child (about 3 years old) to an adult woman (waist circumference 35-150 cm, width 10-25 cm). It is preferable that the plate material be structured so that it goes around the body through the joints. It is preferable to cover the plate with a mesh lace fabric, as this not only gives it a beautiful appearance but also stabilizes the fastening of the joints and body parts using the surface friction of the fabric. Commercially available lace fabric can be used, but a patterned one is more aesthetically pleasing. It is preferable to cover the edge of the body with elastomer, rubber, silicone, etc., as this will soften the contact with the skin.

[0018] The plate material is preferably perforated. The aperture ratio of the perforated plate material is preferably 10 to 90%. The aperture ratio can be calculated from the area ratio of the perforated portion in a 20 cm square area. The perforation pattern may be changed as needed, for example, round holes, hexagonal holes, square holes, elongated holes, staggered elongated holes, or parallel holes. To ensure breathability, the holes are preferably evenly distributed over a wide area of ​​the torso. The perforated plastic sheet has good breathability, allowing water vapor generated from the body to pass through, reducing stuffiness and preventing deterioration of the kimono itself, making it suitable for wearing in any season.

[0019] The waist cord, which is normally required for length adjustment, is attached to the outside of the mid-layer garment, so it is advisable to provide a support to prevent the cord from falling. The support should be placed at the bottom of the mid-layer garment and made of a material such as rubber, plastic elastomer, soft polyvinyl chloride, silicone, PET, or polypropylene that can withstand the elasticity and bending of the torso, and should preferably be at least 10 mm high in the form of a protrusion or recess. It is recommended to have a pillow string support to secure the pillow string. The pillow string support should be placed on the upper part of the torso (abdominal side) and should be made of the same material and shape as the waist string support.

[0020] There is a space between the mid-layer and the body, but to prevent the mid-layer from becoming loose due to separation from the body, a crotch section that connects to the torso section and a connecting section that allows the length to be adjusted may be provided. Because the waist circumference is separated from the body and maintains its shape independently due to the repulsive force of the board, the obi and kimono worn on the outside of the mid-layer are no longer affected by the movement of the body inside the mid-layer, making them less likely to come undone and also allowing the body to escape pressure from strings, etc. Also, because the kimono no longer comes into direct contact with the body's movements at the torso, the "ohashiori" (shoulders) designed to absorb body movement and prevent the kimono from coming undone can be simplified, and a full-length kimono can be worn more comfortably. Until now, tight-fitting support garments and underwear have been used, resulting in no breathability and the inability to dissipate body heat, but by wearing mid-layer clothing, support is no longer necessary, making it possible to wear only underwear, and the gap between the mid-layer clothing and the body improves breathability and heat dissipation. In winter, areas such as the armpits and thighs that could not be covered by traditional undergarments can be covered by wearing T-shirts, pants, and belly warmers, making it easier to regulate body temperature.

[0021] The following will explain the present invention with reference to examples. The mid-length garment comprises a torso section 1 formed of a plate material and a cloth section 4 that forms the chest and back section.

[0022] "Example 1" The mid-layer garment suitable for adult women in sizes S to M will be explained with reference to FIG. The torso 1 is a board made of hard vinyl chloride sheet, 1 mm thick (bending load 20.7 N), with lengths (in the direction of waist circumference) of 38 cm on the right side and 40 cm on the left side, a 30 cm back, and a width (in the direction of height) of 20 cm. The waist circumference adjustment section 2 has a convex part on the left body and a hole that serves as a concave part on the right body, and the waist circumference is adjusted and fixed by inserting the convex part on the left body into the hole that serves as the concave part on the right body. The waist circumference fixing part 3 is fixed by arranging recessed holes on the left and right sides of the back body and protruding parts on the torso parts (back side) of the left and right body parts, and inserting the protruding parts of the left and right body parts into the recessed holes of the back body part. Rubber anti-slip pads are provided on all recessed and protruding parts. The support 6 is provided with a waist string support at the bottom of the torso 1 so as to surround the waist circumference, and pillow string supports on the upper left and right sides of the torso adjustment connection part 2. The chest and back part 4 is made of mesh fabric and is connected to the torso part 1, and snap buttons are arranged at the length adjustment parts 5 on the shoulders. Before putting it on, the wearer adjusts the length using the length adjustment parts 5 on the shoulders, and by connecting and fixing the torso fixing connection part 3 on the back side of the elastically deformable torso plate in advance, it is connected like a single plate, and then puts it on from the back as if carrying it on the back. Then, by fixing the size to match the wearer's waist circumference using the waist circumference adjustment part 2 on the torso (belly side), it can be adjusted to a size that is similar to the corrected body shape. The repulsive force of the board creates an approximately circular shape around the body, and as it does not stick to the body, the range of motion and breathing is secured, and the pressure from the strings is applied to the mid-layer garment, so the kimono can be worn without being constricted, and as with Western clothing, discomfort is reduced even when worn for long periods of time.

[0023] "Example 2" The mid-layer garment suitable for adult women's sizes S to M will be explained with reference to FIG. The body 1 is a sheet made of high density polyethylene, 6 mm thick (bending load 6.5 N), and molded into a mesh shape. It is 90 cm long (in the direction of waist circumference) and 20 cm wide (in the direction of height). The waist circumference adjustment section 2 has a rod-shaped block that serves as a connection part at the end of the left body, and the waist circumference is adjusted by connecting these rod-shaped blocks in succession, and is fixed by connecting them to the connection part at the end of the right body. The block has a recess and a protrusion, and is easily fixed by sliding it, and is connected to the body by clamping the mesh sheet with the clip part. The chest and back part 4 is made of mesh fabric and is connected to the torso part 1, and snap buttons are arranged at the length adjustment parts 5 on the shoulders. Before wearing, the wearer adjusts the length using the length adjustment part 5 on the shoulders, then puts it on from the back. The waist circumference adjustment part 2 on the torso (belly side) fixes the size to fit the wearer's waist circumference. Because the waist circumference can be adjusted by inserting blocks, one size can be used in facilities where people of various body shapes can wear it, and even people who have never worn a kimono before can easily wear it, and as with Example 1, discomfort after wearing it is reduced.

[0024] "Example 3" The mid-layer garment suitable for girls 130cm to 140cm tall will be explained using Figure 3. The torso 1 is a polypropylene sheet, 0.75 mm thick (bending load 1.2 N), perforated over a wide area of ​​the torso (45 staggered round holes, opening rate 39.25%), with a length (in the direction of the waist circumference) of 38 cm for the right body and 42 cm for the left body, and a width (in the direction of the height) of 17 cm. The torso adjustment connection part 2 and the waist circumference fixing part 3 on the torso part 1 (ventral side) are both fixed with hook-and-loop fasteners. The chest and back part 4 is made of mesh fabric and is connected to the torso part 1, and the length adjustment parts 5 on the shoulders are provided with hook and loop fasteners. The wearing method is the same as in Example 1 above. The torso is soft and the torso adjustment part 2 is steplessly adjustable with a hook-and-loop fastener, and when wearing a kimono or obi that is pre-formed and divided into sizes and supported by strings or hook-and-loop fasteners, it can be worn with just enough pressure to maintain the circular shape of the plate material, making it comfortable for children and those new to kimono wearing.
