[0031] A plurality of strings are provided on the belt attachment portion 6. When the worker puts on the work pants 100, the worker may wrap a belt around the belt attachment portion 6. Specifically, the belt can be wrapped around the belt attachment portion 6 by inserting the belt through the plurality of strings provided on the belt attachment portion 6.

[0032] The work pants 100 are provided with a plurality of openings that communicate with the internal space formed by the first covering part 1 and the second covering part 2. Specifically, the first opening H1 is provided at the uppermost end in the y direction of the belt attachment part 6. When a worker wears the work pants 100, the first opening H1 is positioned around the worker's waist in the y direction.

[0033] A second opening H2 is provided at a position opposite the first opening H1 in the y direction. The second opening H2 is provided in each of the first covering part 1 and the second covering part 2. Of the two second openings H2, one second opening H2 is formed by the first front crus covering part 13 and the first rear crus covering part 16. Of the two second openings H2, the other second opening H2 is formed by the second front crus covering part 23 and the second rear crus covering part 26. When a worker wears the work pants 100, the second opening H2 is positioned at the worker's ankle in the y direction.

[0034] The first front crus covering part 13, the first rear crus covering part 16, the second front crus covering part 23, and the second rear crus covering part 26 are arranged in an area where the distance from the second opening H2 in the y direction is 55 percent or less of the distance from the second opening H2 to the upper ends 11a, 14a, 21a, and 24a of the first covering part 1 and the second covering part 2. The upper ends of the first front crus covering part 13, the first rear crus covering part 16, the second front crus covering part 23, and the second rear crus covering part 26 are arranged in an area where the distance from the second opening H2 in the y direction is 35 percent or more and 55 percent or less of the distance from the second opening H2 to the upper ends 11a, 14a, 21a, and 24a of the first covering part 1 and the second covering part 2.

[0035] The first front upper thigh covering part 12, the first rear upper thigh covering part 15, the second front upper thigh covering part 22, and the second rear upper thigh covering part 25 are positioned in an area where the distance from the second opening H2 in the y direction exceeds the distance to the upper ends of the first front lower thigh covering part 13, the first rear lower thigh covering part 16, the second front lower thigh covering part 23, and the second rear lower thigh covering part 26, and is equal to or less than the distance to the lowest end p2 in the y direction of the crotch part 5.

[0036] The first front lower abdomen covering-part 11, the first buttocks covering-part 14, the second front lower abdomen covering-part 21, and the second buttocks covering-part 24 are arranged in the region sandwiched in the y direction between the lowest end p2 in the y direction of the crotch part 5 and the upper ends 11a, 14a, 21a, and 24a. From a different perspective, the first front lower abdomen covering-part 11, the first buttocks covering-part 14, the second front lower abdomen covering-part 21, and the second buttocks covering-part 24 are arranged in the region where the first covering-part 1 and the second covering-part 2 are connected in the y direction.

[0037] 1 to 3, each of the first covering portion 1 and the second covering portion 2 may be provided with a plurality of storage portions 70. The storage portions 70 include two first storage portions 71, two second storage portions 72, and two third storage portions 73. As shown in FIG. 1, each of the two first storage portions 71 is provided in the first front lower abdomen covering portion 11 and the second front lower abdomen covering portion 21. As shown in FIG. 2, each of the two second storage portions 72 is provided in the first buttocks covering portion 14 and the second buttocks covering portion 24. 1 to 3, the two third storage compartments 73 are provided on the first armpit section 31 connecting the first front upper thigh covering section 12 and the first rear upper thigh covering section 15 of the first covering section 1 in the y direction, and on the second armpit section 32 connecting the second front upper thigh covering section 22 and the second rear upper thigh covering section 25 of the second covering section 2. Any desired contents can be stored in the multiple storage compartments 70.

[0038] 2, the work pants 100 according to this embodiment are characterized in that a first sewn line SL1 is provided between the crotch portion 5 and the first side portion 31 in the x direction. The first sewn line SL1 is formed from the upper end 14a of the first buttocks-covering-part 14 toward the first rear thigh-covering-part 15. The first sewn line SL1 may be formed from the upper end 14a to the lower end 15b of the first rear thigh-covering part 15, or may be formed to the second opening H2 of the first rear lower leg-covering part 16. The lower end 15b may be located in an area that is 35 to 55 percent of the distance from the second opening H2 to the upper ends 11a, 14a, 21a, and 24a of the first covering part 1 and the second covering part 2.

[0039] In this way, the fabric can be sewn along the first sewing line SL1 so that the shape of the first buttocks-covering portion 14 is convex in a direction away from the worker's buttocks. In this case, when a worker wears the work pants 100 and stands with their legs straight, there is slack in the fabric of the first buttocks-covering portion 14. Therefore, when the worker squats with their legs bent, tension in the fabric of the first buttocks-covering portion 14 is reduced. As a result, the work pants 100 do not restrict the worker's movement due to tension.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 2, distance L1 is the distance in the x direction from the crotch 5 to the first side portion 31. Distance L2 is the distance in the x direction from the crotch 5 to 25 percent of the distance L1. If a first region A is defined as a region in the x direction where distance L2 is 25 percent or less of distance L1 from the crotch 5, the first sewn line SL1 may be formed from the upper end 14a of the first buttock-covering portion 14 in the first region A. As shown in FIG. 2, the first sewn line SL1 may be sandwiched between the second storage section 72 and the crotch 5 in the x direction. The distances L1 and L2 can be measured by measuring the length of a line extending from the intersection of the crotch 5 and the upper end 14a of the work pants 100 along the upper end 14a.

[0041] The first sewing line SL1 is formed at the lower end 15b of the first rear thigh covering part 15 to the central region in the x direction of the first underarm part 31 and the first inner thigh part 41. The central region is, for example, a region in the x direction at the lower end 15b of the first rear thigh covering part 15 that is 30 to 70 percent of the distance in the x direction from the first inner thigh part 41 to the first underarm part 31. The first sewing line SL1 may be a seam line or may be formed by a dart.

[0042] A second sewn line SL2 is provided on at least one of the first front upper thigh covering part 12 and the first front lower thigh covering part 13. As shown in Fig. 1, the second sewn line SL2 may be provided on each of the first front upper thigh covering part 12 and the first front lower thigh covering part 13. The second sewn line SL2 may be provided in a portion covering the worker's knee.

[0043] One of the pair of second sewn lines SL2 is connected to the first side portion 31. The other of the pair of second sewn lines SL2 is connected to the first inner thigh portion 41. The distance from the second opening H2 in the y direction of one of the pair of second sewn lines SL2 may be the same as the distance from the second opening H2 in the y direction of the other of the pair of second sewn lines SL2, or may be different from each other.

[0044] The pair of second sewing lines SL2 provided on the first front upper thigh covering part 12 may be positioned in an area where the distance from the second opening H2 in the y direction is 40 percent to 65 percent of the distance from the second opening H2 to the upper ends 11a, 14a, 21a, 24a of the first covering part 1 and the second covering part 2, or may be positioned in an area where the distance is 45 percent to 60 percent.

[0045] By doing so, the fabric can be sewn along the second sewing line SL2 provided on the first front thigh covering part 12 so that the lower part of the first front thigh covering part 12 has a convex shape that faces away from the worker's knee (outward). Therefore, when a worker wears the work pants 100 and stands with their legs outstretched, the fabric in the part covering the worker's knee (the area below the first front thigh covering part 12) has some slack. Therefore, when the worker squats with their legs bent, tension in the fabric of the first front thigh covering part 12 is reduced. As a result, the work pants 100 do not feel tight and do not hinder the worker's movements.

[0046] The pair of second sewing lines SL2 provided on the first front crus covering-part 13 may be positioned in an area where the distance from the second opening H2 in the y direction is 30 to 55 percent, or 35 to 50 percent, of the distance from the second opening H2 to the upper ends 11a, 14a, 21a, 24a of the first covering-part 1 and the second covering-part 2. The second sewing lines SL2 provided on the first front crus covering-part 13 may be inclined with respect to the x direction so as to move away from the first opening H1 as they approach the center of the first front crus covering-part 13 in the x direction.

[0047] By doing so, the fabric can be sewn along the second sewing line SL2 provided on the first front crus covering part 13 so that the shape of the upper part of the first front crus covering part 13 is convex (outward) away from the worker's knees. Therefore, when a worker wears the work pants 100 and stands with their legs outstretched, there is slack in the fabric in the part covering the worker's knees (the area above the first front crus covering part 13). Therefore, when the worker squats with their legs bent, tension in the fabric of the first front crus covering part 13 is reduced. As a result, the work pants 100 do not feel tight and do not hinder the worker's movements.

[0048] The second sewn line SL2 may be a transition line, or may be formed by a dart or a tuck. As shown in Fig. 1, the second sewn line SL2 on the first front upper thigh covering part 12 and the second sewn line SL2 on the first front lower thigh covering part 13 extend in different directions, but may be parallel to each other.

[0049] 2 and 3, a third sewn line SL3 may be provided between the first rear upper thigh covering part 15 and the first rear lower thigh covering part 16. The third sewn line SL3 is provided along the lower end 15b of the first rear upper thigh covering part 15. The third sewn line SL3 is connected to the first underarm part 31 and the first inner thigh part 41.

[0050] This allows the fabric to be sewn along the third sewing line SL3 so that the boundary between the first rear upper thigh covering part 15 and the first rear lower leg covering part 16 has a convex shape that approaches the back of the worker's knee (toward the inside). Therefore, when a worker wearing the work pants 100 bends their legs and squats, looseness of the fabric in the parts covering the back of the worker's knee (part of the first rear upper thigh covering part 15 and part of the first rear lower leg covering part 16) is suppressed. As a result, the work pants 100 do not loosen and do not hinder the worker's movements. The third sewing line SL3 may be a transition line.

[0051] The first sewn line SL1, the second sewn line SL2, and the third sewn line SL3 may be provided on the second covered part 2. That is, the first sewn line SL1, the second sewn line SL2, and the third sewn line SL3 may be formed on both the first covered part 1 and the second covered part 2.

[0052] <Front and back body patterns> Fig. 4 shows a pattern of the front body portion of work pants 100 according to embodiment 1. Fig. 5 shows a pattern of the back body portion of work pants 100 according to embodiment 1. Fig. 6 is a partially enlarged view of the pattern of the back body portion in region VI of Fig. 5. The patterns of the front body portion and the back body portion shown in Figs. 4 and 5 may be, for example, a front part 17 and a rear part 18 that cover the left lower leg of a worker. The front part and rear part that cover the right lower leg are configured to be mirror images of the front part 17 and rear part 18 that cover the left lower leg shown in Figs. 4 and 5.

[0053] 4, the front part 17 includes side edges 17a, inner crotch edges 17b, an upper edge 17t, a lower edge 17h, and a crotch edge 17c. The side edges 17a, inner crotch edges 17b, an upper edge 17t, a lower edge 17h, and a crotch edge 17c are the outer contours of the front part 17.

[0054] 5, the rear part 18 includes side edges 18a, inner crotch edges 18b, an upper edge 18t, a lower edge 18h, and a crotch edge 18c. The side edges 18a, inner crotch edges 18b, an upper edge 18t, a lower edge 18h, and a crotch edge 18c are the outer contours of the rear part 18.

[0055] In the front part 17, the side edges 17a are continuous with the upper end edge 17t and the lower end edge 17h. In the rear part 18, the side edges 18a are continuous with the upper end edge 18t and the lower end edge 18h. The side edges 17a, 18a correspond to the first side portions 31 shown in Figures 1 to 3. The front part 17 and the rear part 18 are connected by sewing the side edges 17a, 18a.

[0056] In the front part 17, the inner crotch side 17b is connected to the crotch side 17c and the bottom side 17h. In the rear part 18, the inner crotch side 18b is connected to the crotch side 18c and the bottom side 18h. The inner crotch sides 17b, 18b correspond to the first inner crotch portion 41 shown in Figures 1 and 2. The front part 17 and the rear part 18 are connected by sewing the inner crotch sides 17b, 18b.

[0057] As described above, the first covering part 1 is formed by sewing the front part 17 and the rear part 18 together.

[0058] In the front part 17, the top edge 17t is connected to the crotch edge 17c and the side edge 17a. In the rear part 18, the top edge 18t is connected to the crotch edge 18c and the side edge 18a. The top edges 17t, 18t correspond to the top ends 11a and 14a shown in Figures 1 to 3. By sewing the front part 17 and the rear part 18 together, the top end of the first covering part 1 that is connected to the belt attachment part 6 is formed.

[0059] In addition, the upper end edges 17t, 18t may correspond to the uppermost end (first opening H1) of the belt attachment portion 6 shown in Figures 1 to 3, and the upper end edges 17t, 18t may form the first opening H1 by sewing the front part 17 and the rear part 18 together.

[0060] In the front part 17, the bottom edge 17h is continuous with the inner crotch edge 17b and the side edge 17a. In the rear part 18, the bottom edge 18h is continuous with the inner crotch edge 18b and the side edge 18a. The bottom edges 17h, 18h correspond to the second opening H2 shown in Figures 1 to 3. When the front part 17 and the rear part 18 are sewn together, the bottom edges 17h, 18h form the second opening H2.

[0061] 4, the crotch edge 17c is continuous with the inner crotch edge 17b and the upper edge 17t in the front part 17. The opening mechanism 8 shown in FIG.

[0062] As shown in Fig. 5, in the rear part 18, the crotch edge 18c is continuous with the inner crotch edge 18b and the top edge 18t. As shown in Fig. 2, the crotch edge 18c corresponds to the crotch portion 5. The crotch edge 18c of the first covering part 1 and the crotch edge 18c of the second covering part 2 are sewn together, thereby connecting the first covering part 1 and the second covering part 2.

[0063] As shown in Fig. 4, a plurality of notches (darts) are provided in each of the side edges 17a and the inner thigh edge 17b of the front part 17. Two notches are provided in the side edges 17a. Two notches are provided in the inner thigh edge 17b.

[0064] As shown in Fig. 4, the notches are V-shaped. Specifically, each of the multiple notches includes a first notch side n1 and a second notch side n2. The first notch side n1 and the second notch side n2 are connected to each other. The distance between the first notch side n1 and the second notch side n2 decreases from the side side 17a or the inner thigh side 17b toward the point where the first notch side n1 and the second notch side n2 are connected to each other.

[0065] The second sewn line SL2 is formed by sewing the first cutout side n1 and the second cutout side n2 that face each other. Note that, although the method of forming the second sewn line SL2 by providing darts like cutouts has been described above, the second sewn line SL2 may also be formed by using tucks.

[0066] As shown in FIG. 5, the rear part 18 has a notch (dart) formed in the upper edge 18t. The notch is V-shaped. Specifically, the notch includes a third notch edge n3 and a fourth notch edge n4. As shown in FIG. 6, the third notch edge n3 and the fourth notch edge n4 are connected to each other at a connection point p. The third notch edge n3 and the upper edge 18t are connected to each other at a connection point p3. The fourth notch edge n4 and the upper edge 18t are connected to each other at a connection point p4. The distance between the third notch edge n3 and the fourth notch edge n4 decreases from the upper edge 18t toward the connection point p.

[0067] At least one of the third cutout edge n3 and the fourth cutout edge n4 is curved. Specifically, the third cutout edge n3 may be convex in the direction of the fourth cutout edge n4 when viewed from the line connecting the connection point p3 and the connection point p. The fourth cutout edge n4 may be convex in the direction of the third cutout edge n3 when viewed from the line connecting the connection point p4 and the connection point p. Since at least one of the third cutout edge n3 and the fourth cutout edge n4 is curved, when the third cutout edge n3 and the fourth cutout edge n4 are sewn, there is slack in the fabric of the first buttocks-covering portion 14.

[0068] The shortest distance t between connection point p3 and connection point p4 may be 7 cm or more and 9 cm or less. The angle θ formed by the line connecting connection point p3 and connection point p and the line connecting connection point p4 and connection point p may be 15° or more and 40° or less. The shortest distance t and angle θ may be changeable to suit the body type of the worker wearing the work pants. For example, when the shortest distance t is 7.3 cm, the angle θ may be 33.6°. When the shortest distance t is 7.7 cm, the angle θ may be 28.1°. When the shortest distance t is 8.1 cm, the angle θ may be 16.3°.

[0069] 5, the length L3 of the third cutout side n3 may be 40 percent to 60 percent of the length L4 of the crotch side 18c. The length L3 is the length along the third cutout side n3 from the connection point p3 to the connection point p. The length L4 is the length along the crotch side 18c from the point where the crotch side 18c connects to the top side 18t to the point where the crotch side 18c connects to the inner crotch side 18b.

[0070] In particular, when upper end edges 17t and 18t correspond to upper ends 11a and 14a shown in Figures 1 to 3, the length L3 of third cutout edge n3 may be 40 percent to 50 percent of the length L4 of crotch edge 18c. For example, when the shortest distance t is 7.3 cm, the length L3 of third cutout edge n3 may be 40.5 percent of the length L4 of crotch edge 18c. When the shortest distance t is 7.7 cm, the length L3 of third cutout edge n3 may be 44 percent of the length L4 of crotch edge 18c. When the shortest distance t is 8.1 cm, the length L3 of third cutout edge n3 may be 48.8 percent of the length L4 of crotch edge 18c.

[0071] When the upper end edges 17t, 18t correspond to the first opening H1 shown in Figures 1 to 3, the length L3 of the third cutout edge n3 may be greater than or equal to 45 percent and less than or equal to 55 percent of the length L4 of the crotch edge 18c.

[0072] The third notched edge n3 and the fourth notched edge n4, which face each other, are sewn together to form a first sewing line SL1. In this way, when a worker wears the work pants 100 and stands with their legs straight, there is room in the fabric of the first buttocks-covering portion 14. Therefore, when the worker squats with their legs bent, tension in the fabric of the first buttocks-covering portion 14 is reduced. As a result, the work pants 100 do not feel tight and do not hinder the worker's movements.

[0073] As shown in FIG. 5, the rear part 18 has an opening V. The opening V is surrounded by a first side V1 and a second side V2. The first side V1 and the second side V2 are continuous with the side side 18a and the inner thigh side 18b. Specifically, the first side V1 and the second side V2 are connected to the side side 18a at a connection point p5. The first side V1 and the second side V2 are connected to the inner thigh side 18b at a connection point p6.

[0074] The first side V1 and the second side V2 are curved. When viewed from the line connecting the connection points p5 and p6, the first side V1 is concave toward the area opposite the area where the second side V2 is located. When viewed from the line connecting the connection points p5 and p6, the second side V2 is concave toward the area opposite the area where the first side V1 is located.

[0075] The opposing first side V1 and second side V2 are sewn together to form a third sewing line SL3. In this way, the length of the back body portion in the y direction shown in Fig. 2 is shorter than the length of the front body portion in the y direction shown in Fig. 1. In other words, loose fabric behind the knees is prevented when the worker squats.

[0076] <Action and effect> Work pants 100 according to the present disclosure comprise a first buttocks-covering portion 14, a second buttocks-covering portion 24, a first rear upper thigh-covering portion 15, a first front lower abdomen-covering portion 11, and a first rear lower thigh-covering portion 16. The second buttocks-covering portion 24 is connected to the first buttocks-covering portion 14 via a crotch portion 5. The first rear upper thigh-covering portion 15 is connected to the first buttocks-covering portion 14. The first front lower abdomen-covering portion 11 is connected to the first buttocks-covering portion 14 via a first armpit portion 31. The first rear lower thigh-covering portion 16 is connected to the first rear upper thigh-covering portion 15. A first sewing line SL1 is provided between the crotch portion 5 and the first armpit portion 31. The first sewing line SL1 is formed from the upper end 14a of the first buttocks-covering-part 14 toward the first rear upper thigh-covering-part 15.

[0077] This allows the shape of the first buttocks-covering portion 14 to be convex outward at the first sewing line SL1. Therefore, when a worker wears the work pants 100 and stands with their legs outstretched, there is room in the fabric of the first buttocks-covering portion 14. Therefore, when the worker squats with their legs bent, tension in the fabric of the first buttocks-covering portion 14 is reduced. As a result, the work pants 100 do not feel tight and do not hinder the worker's movements.

[0078] According to the work pants 100, if the first region A is defined as the region where the distance L2 from the crotch region 5 is 25 percent or less of the distance L1 from the crotch region 5 to the first side region 31, the first sewing line SL1 is formed from the upper end 14a of the first buttock covering portion 14 in the first region A.

[0079] In this way, when a worker wearing the work pants 100 stands with his legs outstretched, the first sewing line SL1 formed near the crotch portion 5 creates slack in the fabric of the first buttocks-covering portion 14. Therefore, when the worker squats with his legs bent, tension in the fabric of the first buttocks-covering portion 14 is more effectively suppressed. As a result, the work pants 100 do not hinder the worker's movement due to tension.

[0080] The work pants 100 include a first front thigh-covering portion 12. The first front thigh-covering portion 12 is connected to the first front lower abdomen-covering portion 11. The first front thigh-covering portion 12 is connected to the first back thigh-covering portion 15 via a first underarm portion 31 and a first inner thigh portion 41. The first inner thigh portion 41 is connected to the crotch portion 5. A first sewing line SL1 is formed at the lower end 15b of the first back thigh-covering portion 15, extending to the central region of the first underarm portion 31 and the first inner thigh portion 41.

[0081] In this way, when a worker wearing the work pants 100 stands with his legs outstretched, there is slack in the fabric of the first buttocks-covering part 14. Therefore, when the worker squats with his legs bent, the fabric of the first buttocks-covering part 14 is prevented from being pulled tight. As a result, the work pants 100 do not hinder the worker's movements due to tension. Furthermore, because the first sewing line SL1 is formed to extend from the upper end 14a of the first buttocks-covering part 14 to the lower end 15b of the first rear thigh-covering part 15, there is slack in the fabric of the first buttocks-covering part 14 and the first rear thigh-covering part 15.

[0082] The work pants 100 include a first front thigh-covering portion 12 and a first front crus-covering portion 13. The first front thigh-covering portion 12 is connected to the first front lower abdomen-covering portion 11. The first front thigh-covering portion 12 is connected to the first back thigh-covering portion 15 via a first underarm portion 31 and a first inner thigh portion 41. The first front crus-covering portion 13 is connected to the first front thigh-covering portion 12. The first front crus-covering portion 13 is connected to the first back crus-covering portion 16 via the first underarm portion 31 and the first inner thigh portion 41. The first inner thigh portion 41 is connected to the crotch portion 5. A second sewing line SL2 that is connected to the first underarm portion 31 or the first inner thigh portion 41 is provided on at least one of the first front thigh-covering portion 12 and the first front crus-covering portion 13.

[0083] In this way, when a worker wears the work pants 100 and stands with his legs outstretched, there is slack in the fabric in the portion covering the worker's knees (the lower region of the first front upper thigh covering part 12 or the upper region of the first front lower leg covering part 13). Therefore, when the worker squats with his legs bent, the fabric is prevented from tightening in the first front upper thigh covering part 12 or the first front lower leg covering part 13. As a result, the work pants 100 do not tighten and do not hinder the worker's movements.

[0084] According to the work pants 100, a third sewing line SL3 is provided between the first rear upper thigh covering part 15 and the first rear lower thigh covering part 16 along the lower end 15b of the first rear upper thigh covering part 15.

[0085] In this way, when a worker wearing the work pants 100 bends his / her legs and squats, looseness of the fabric in the portions covering the backs of the worker's knees (part of the first rear upper thigh covering portion 15 and part of the first rear lower thigh covering portion 16) is suppressed. As a result, the work pants 100 do not loosen and do not hinder the worker's movements.

[0086] In this specification, the "sewing line" may be a line formed by sewing together fabric using thread or the like, or a line formed by joining fabric together using adhesive or the like through a bonding process.
