[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3135859 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Here, the waist belt of Patent Document 1 is simply wrapped around the waist once to fasten it, so there is still room for improvement in terms of fastening it in a stable state around the waist.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its main object is to provide a waist belt and pants with a waist belt that can securely fasten the waist region. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the waist belt of the present invention is A belt body that is fastened to a user's waist, The belt body is formed to have stretchability in the longitudinal direction, Both ends of the belt body in the longitudinal direction are defined as a first end and a second end, The belt body is an intermediate wide portion provided in the intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction; a first narrow portion that is provided closer to the first end than the intermediate wide portion and has an upper edge that is located lower than the upper edge of the intermediate wide portion, thereby making the belt width smaller than that of the intermediate wide portion; a second narrow portion that is provided closer to the second end than the intermediate wide portion and has a lower edge positioned higher than the lower edge of the intermediate wide portion, thereby making the belt width smaller than that of the intermediate wide portion; It has Both longitudinal end portions of the belt body are provided with connection portions that can be connected to the surface side of the intermediate wide portion. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, when fastening the belt body around the waist, the belt body is wrapped around the waist so that the first narrow portion and the second narrow portion are arranged one above the other, and both longitudinal ends of the belt body are guided to the surface side of the intermediate wide portion. Then, in this state, the belt body is fastened around the waist, and the connection portions provided at both ends are connected to the surface side of the intermediate wide portion.

[0008] This method of fastening the belt body allows the belt body to be wrapped around the waist more than once. This allows the belt body to exhibit longitudinal stretchability over a length range exceeding one circumference. This makes it possible to obtain an optimal fastening effect due to the stretchability of the belt body.

[0009] Furthermore, because the first narrow portion and the second narrow portion are arranged vertically, twisting of the belt body can be prevented even when the belt body is wrapped around the waist more than once. This prevents the stretchability of the belt body from being hindered by twisting of the belt body, and as a result, it is possible to reliably obtain the tightening effect due to the stretchability of the belt body.

[0010] As a result, it is possible to tighten the waist in a stable manner. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] 1 and 2, pants 10 with a waist belt include a pants body 11 and a waist belt 12 attached to the pants body 11. In this embodiment, the pants 10 with a waist belt are sports pants worn when playing sports such as soccer.

[0014] As shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), the pants body 11 is a pair of trunk-type pants made of a stretchy fabric. The pants body 11 has a waist portion 14 that covers the waist of the user. A belt loop 16 is provided on the front side of the waist portion 14, through which the waist belt 12 is passed. The belt loop 16 is made of a stretchy rectangular fabric, and its upper and lower edges are attached to the waist portion 14 by sewing. This allows the waist belt 12 to be passed inside the belt loop 16, i.e., between the belt loop 16 and the waist portion 14. The belt loop 16 is also located in the center of the waist portion 14 in the left-right direction.

[0015] A belt loop 17 is provided on the back side of the waist portion 14, through which the waist belt 12 is passed. The belt loop 17 is made of a stretchy rectangular fabric, and its left-right length is the same as or greater than its up-down length. The belt loop 17 is located in the left-right center of the waist portion 14. The upper and lower edges of the belt loop 17 are attached to the waist portion 14 by sewing. This allows the waist belt 12 to be passed inside the belt loop 17, i.e., between the belt loop 17 and the waist portion 14. The belt loop 17 corresponds to the "belt loop" described in the claims.

[0016] Next, the waist belt 12 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0017] 4(a) and 4(b), the waist belt 12 includes a belt body 21 that is wrapped around the waist of the user. The belt body 21 is formed to be stretchable in the longitudinal direction. Both ends of the belt body 21 in the longitudinal direction are a first end 21a and a second end 21b, respectively.

[0018] The belt body 21 has an intermediate wide portion 22 provided in the middle in the longitudinal direction (hereinafter also referred to as the belt longitudinal direction), a first narrow portion 23 provided closer to the first end 21a than the intermediate wide portion 22, a second narrow portion 24 provided closer to the second end 21b than the intermediate wide portion 22, a first wide portion 25 provided closer to the first end 21a than the first narrow portion 23, and a second wide portion 26 provided closer to the second end 21b than the second narrow portion 24.

[0019] The intermediate wide portion 22 is the portion of the belt body 21 that has the largest belt width (in other words, the widthwise length). The belt width W1 of the intermediate wide portion 22 is constant throughout the entire belt longitudinal direction. The center of the intermediate wide portion 22 in the belt longitudinal direction is the center of the belt body 21 in the longitudinal direction.

[0020] The upper edge of the first narrow portion 23 is located lower than the upper edge of the intermediate wide portion 22, so that the belt width W2 is smaller than the belt width W1 of the intermediate wide portion 22. In the first narrow portion 23, the belt width W2 is constant over the entire area in the belt longitudinal direction. The belt width W2 of the first narrow portion 23 is half the belt width W1 of the intermediate wide portion 22. Furthermore, the length L2 of the first narrow portion 23 in the belt longitudinal direction is shorter than half the length L1 of the intermediate wide portion 22 in the belt longitudinal direction, and more specifically, is shorter than one-third the length L1 of the intermediate wide portion 22. The belt width W2 of the first narrow portion 23 may be smaller than half the belt width W1 of the intermediate wide portion 22.

[0021] The second narrow portion 24 has a lower edge positioned higher than the lower edge of the intermediate wide portion 22, so that the belt width W3 is smaller than the belt width W1 of the intermediate wide portion 22. In the second narrow portion 24, the belt width W3 is constant over the entire area in the belt longitudinal direction. The belt width W3 of the second narrow portion 24 is half the belt width W1 of the intermediate wide portion 22. Therefore, the belt width W3 of the second narrow portion 24 is the same as the belt width W2 of the first narrow portion 23. Note that the belt width W3 of the second narrow portion 24 may be smaller than half the belt width W1 of the intermediate wide portion 22.

[0022] The length L3 of the second narrow portion 24 in the belt longitudinal direction is shorter than half the length L1 of the intermediate wide portion 22 in the belt longitudinal direction, and more specifically, shorter than one-third the length L1 of the intermediate wide portion 22. Furthermore, the length L3 of the second narrow portion 24 in the belt longitudinal direction is the same as the length L2 of the first narrow portion 23 in the belt longitudinal direction.

[0023] The first narrow portion 23 and the second narrow portion 24 are both disposed at a distance in the belt longitudinal direction from the intermediate wide portion 22. The belt body 21 further has a first width transition portion 27 provided between the intermediate wide portion 22 and the first narrow portion 23, and a second width transition portion 28 provided between the intermediate wide portion 22 and the second narrow portion 24.

[0024] The first width transition portion 27 is adjacent to the intermediate wide portion 22 and the first narrow portion 23. In the first width transition portion 27, the upper edge is gradually displaced downward from the intermediate wide portion 22 side toward the first narrow portion 23 side, so that the belt width W4 gradually decreases from the intermediate wide portion 22 side toward the first narrow portion 23 side. More specifically, in the first width transition portion 27, the belt width W4 gradually decreases from the belt width W1 of the intermediate wide portion 22 to the belt width W2 of the first narrow portion 23.

[0025] The second width transition portion 28 is adjacent to the intermediate wide portion 22 and the second narrow portion 24, and the lower edge of the second width transition portion 28 is gradually displaced upward from the intermediate wide portion 22 side toward the second narrow portion 24 side, so that the belt width W5 gradually decreases from the intermediate wide portion 22 side toward the second narrow portion 24 side. More specifically, in the second width transition portion 28, the belt width W5 gradually decreases from the belt width W1 of the intermediate wide portion 22 to the belt width W3 of the second narrow portion 24.

[0026] The first wide portion 25 is adjacent to the first narrow portion 23 and includes the first end 21a of the belt body 21. The upper edge of the first wide portion 25 is located higher than the upper edge of the first narrow portion 23, so that the belt width W6 is larger than the belt width W2 of the first narrow portion 23. More specifically, the first wide portion 25 includes a width transition portion 25a adjacent to the first narrow portion 23 and a constant width portion 25b located closer to the first end 21a than the width transition portion 25a. In the width transition portion 25a, the belt width W6 gradually increases toward the constant width portion 25b, and in the constant width portion 25b, the belt width W6 is constant and equal to the maximum width of the width transition portion 25a. The end of the first wide portion 25 on the first end 21a side is cut obliquely.

[0027] The second wide portion 26 is adjacent to the second narrow portion 24 and includes the second end 21b of the belt body 21. The lower edge of the second wide portion 26 is located lower than the lower edge of the second narrow portion 24, so that the belt width W7 is larger than the belt width W3 of the second narrow portion 24. Specifically, the second wide portion 26 includes a width transition portion 26a adjacent to the second narrow portion 24 and a constant width portion 26b located closer to the second end 21b than the width transition portion 26a. In the width transition portion 26a, the belt width W7 gradually increases toward the constant width portion 26b, and in the constant width portion 26b, the belt width W7 is constant and equal to the maximum width of the width transition portion 26a. The end of the second wide portion 26 on the second end 21b side is cut obliquely.

[0028] A hook-and-loop fastener 31a is provided on the back side of the first wide portion 25 (specifically, the constant width portion 25b). A hook-and-loop fastener 31b is provided on the back side of the second wide portion 26 (specifically, the constant width portion 26b). Each of these hook-and-loop fasteners 31a, 31b has a hook surface. The hook-and-loop fastener 31a is located at the end of the first wide portion 25 on the first end 21a side, and the hook-and-loop fastener 31b is located at the end of the second wide portion 26 on the second end 21b side. Therefore, each of the hook-and-loop fasteners 31a, 31b is located at both longitudinal ends of the belt body 21. Each of the hook-and-loop fasteners 31a, 31b corresponds to a "connecting portion."

[0029] Two hook and loop fasteners 32a, 32b are provided on the surface side of the intermediate wide portion 22. Each of the hook and loop fasteners 32a, 32b has a loop surface. The hook and loop fasteners 32a, 32b are arranged spaced apart in the belt longitudinal direction, sandwiching the belt longitudinal center of the intermediate wide portion 22. Of the hook and loop fasteners 32a, 32b, the hook and loop fastener 32a is arranged closer to the first end 21a than the center of the intermediate wide portion 22, and the hook and loop fastener 32b is arranged closer to the second end 21b than the center of the intermediate wide portion 22. The hook and loop fastener 32a is connected to the hook and loop fastener 31b of the second wide portion 26, and the hook and loop fastener 32b is connected to the hook and loop fastener 31a of the first wide portion 25 (see also Figures 1 and 7(a)). It should be noted that each of the hook and loop fasteners 32a, 32b can also be referred to as a "connected portion" to which the hook and loop fasteners 31a, 31b (connecting portion) are connected.

[0030] The belt body 21 is formed using a plurality of sheets of power net fabric, which will be described below with reference to Figs.

[0031] As shown in Figures 5(a) to (c) and Figures 6(a) and (b), the belt body 21 is formed by including a plurality of power net fabrics 35 to 37 stacked on top of each other. The power net fabrics 35 to 37 are made of mesh fabrics using polyurethane elastic yarn and have excellent stretchability. The power net fabrics 35 to 37 have the same thickness. For ease of explanation, the thicknesses of the power net fabrics 35 to 37 are shown larger than their actual thicknesses in Figures 5(b) and (c) and Figure 6(b).

[0032] Each of the power net fabrics 35 to 37 includes a power net fabric 35 provided over the entire belt body 21, a power net fabric 36 provided in the first narrow width portion 23 of the belt body 21, and a power net fabric 37 provided in the second narrow width portion 24 of the belt body 21. As shown in FIG. 5(b), a plurality of power net fabrics 35 (two in this embodiment) are arranged in a stacked state. The power net fabrics 35 are joined together at their peripheries by sewing. The front and back surfaces of the belt body 21 are respectively formed by the power net fabrics 35. The peripheries of each power net fabric 35 are finished with binder tape 39.

[0033] As shown in FIGS. 5(a) and 5(c), the powernet fabric 36 is formed in a band shape extending in the belt longitudinal direction, and its width is slightly smaller than the belt width W2 (see FIG. 4(b)) of the first narrow width portion 23. A plurality of powernet fabrics 36 (two in this embodiment) are stacked and arranged between the powernet fabrics 35. Therefore, in the first narrow width portion 23, a plurality of powernet fabrics 35 and a plurality of powernet fabrics 36 are stacked one on top of another. As a result, the number of powernet fabrics 35, 36 in the first narrow width portion 23 (four in this embodiment) is greater than the number of powernet fabrics 35 in the intermediate wide width portion 22 (two in this embodiment). Also, as a result, in the first narrow width portion 23, the thickness t2 is greater than the thickness t1 of the intermediate wide width portion 22. Note that each powernet fabric 36 is not sewn to the powernet fabric 35, and is not joined to each powernet fabric 35.

[0034] The length of the power net fabric 36 in the belt longitudinal direction is longer than the length L2 (see FIG. 4(b)) of the first narrow width portion 23 in the belt longitudinal direction. The power net fabric 36 is arranged across the entire area of ​​the first narrow width portion 23 in the belt longitudinal direction. Furthermore, the power net fabric 36 is arranged not only across the first narrow width portion 23 but also across the first wide width portion 25 (more specifically, the width transition portion 25a) and the first width transition portion 27.

[0035] As shown in FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b), the powernet fabric 37 is formed in a band shape extending in the belt longitudinal direction, and its width is slightly smaller than the belt width W4 (see FIG. 4(b)) of the second narrow width portion 24. A plurality of powernet fabrics 37 (two in this embodiment) are stacked and arranged between the powernet fabrics 35. Therefore, in the second narrow width portion 24, a plurality of powernet fabrics 35 and a plurality of powernet fabrics 37 are stacked one on top of another. As a result, the number of powernet fabrics 35, 37 in the second narrow width portion 24 (four in this embodiment) is greater than the number of powernet fabrics 35 in the intermediate wide width portion 22 (two in this embodiment). Also, as a result, in the second narrow width portion 24, the thickness t3 is greater than the thickness t1 of the intermediate wide width portion 22. Note that each powernet fabric 37 is not sewn to the powernet fabric 35, and is not joined to each powernet fabric 35.

[0036] The length of the power net fabric 37 in the belt longitudinal direction is longer than the length L3 (see FIG. 4(b)) of the second narrow width portion 24 in the belt longitudinal direction. The power net fabric 37 is arranged across the entire area of ​​the second narrow width portion 24 in the belt longitudinal direction. Furthermore, the power net fabric 37 is arranged not only across the second narrow width portion 24 but also across the second wide width portion 26 (more specifically, the width transition portion 26a) and the second width transition portion 28.

[0037] Next, the attachment structure of the waist belt 12 to the pants body 11 will be described.

[0038] 1 and 2, the belt body 21 of the waist belt 12 is attached to the waist portion 14 of the pants body 11. The belt body 21 is disposed in a state surrounding the waist portion 14.

[0039] The intermediate wide portion 22 of the belt body 21 is disposed on the front side of the waist portion 14 while being threaded inside the belt loops 16. The center portion of the intermediate wide portion 22 in the belt longitudinal direction is threaded inside the belt loops 16, and in this state, (the center portion of) the intermediate wide portion 22, the belt loops 16, and the waist portion 14 are joined by sewing. As a result, the intermediate wide portion 22 is fixed to the front side of the waist portion 14 at its center portion in the belt longitudinal direction. In addition, in this fixed state, the hook-and-loop fasteners 32a, 32b of the intermediate wide portion 22 are disposed on both left and right sides of the belt loops 16.

[0040] The first narrow portion 23 and the second narrow portion 24 of the belt body 21 are respectively passed around the back side of the waist portion 14 and passed through the inside of the belt loop 17 from opposite sides. In this case, the narrow portions 23, 24 are arranged vertically side by side inside the belt loop 17. More specifically, the first narrow portion 23 is arranged on the lower side and the second narrow portion 24 is arranged on the upper side.

[0041] The first wide portion 25 and the second wide portion 26 of the belt body 21 are led to the surface side of the intermediate wide portion 22. This allows the hook-and-loop fasteners 31a, 31b provided on each wide portion 25, 26 to be connected to the hook-and-loop fasteners 32b, 32a provided on the surface side of the intermediate wide portion 22, respectively.

[0042] Next, how to use the waist belt pants 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0043] As shown in Figures 7(a) and (b), when a user U puts on waist belt pants 10, he or she first puts on the pants body 11 and then fastens the waist belt 12 around the waist. At this time, both ends of the belt body 21 are pulled to fasten the waist belt 12, and in this state, the hook and loop fasteners 31a, 31b at both ends of the belt body 21 are connected to the hook and loop fasteners 31b, 31a of the intermediate wide portion 22, respectively. More specifically, the hook and loop fastener 31a is connected to the hook and loop fastener 32b, and the hook and loop fastener 31b is connected to the hook and loop fastener 32a. This completes putting on the waist belt pants 10.

[0044] According to the configuration of this embodiment described above in detail, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

[0045] As described above, when fastening the belt body 21 of the waist belt 12 around the waist of the user U, the belt body 21 is wrapped around the user's waist (in other words, the waist circumference portion 14 of the pants body 11), with the first narrow portion 23 and the second narrow portion 24 arranged one above the other, and both longitudinal ends of the belt body 21 guided toward the surface side of the intermediate wide portion 22 (see FIGS. 1 and 2). In this state, the belt body 21 is fastened around the waist by pulling both ends of the belt body 21, and in this fastened state, the hook-and-loop fasteners 31a, 31b provided at both ends of the belt body 21 are connected to the hook-and-loop fasteners 32a, 32b provided on the surface side of the intermediate wide portion 22.

[0046] According to this method of fastening the belt body 21, the belt body 21 can be wrapped around the waist more than once. This allows the belt body 21 to exhibit its stretchability in the longitudinal direction over a length range exceeding one circumference. This makes it possible to obtain an optimal fastening effect due to the stretchability of the belt body 21.

[0047] Furthermore, because the first narrow width portion 23 and the second narrow width portion 24 are arranged next to each other above and below, it is possible to prevent twisting of the belt body 21 even when the belt body 21 is wrapped around the waist more than once. This prevents the stretchability of the belt body 21 from being hindered by twisting of the belt body 21, and as a result, it is possible to reliably obtain the tightening effect due to the stretchability of the belt body 21.

[0048] As a result, it is possible to tighten the waist in a stable manner.

[0049] The thickness t2 of the first narrow portion 23 and the thickness t3 of the second narrow portion 24 are both greater than the thickness t1 of the intermediate wide portion 22, which increases the rigidity of each narrow portion 23, 24. This makes it possible to effectively prevent each narrow portion 23, 24 from twisting when the belt body 21 is tightened with the narrow portions 23, 24 lined up one above the other.

[0050] The number of plies of powernet fabric 35, 36 in the first narrow width portion 23 (specifically, four plies) and the number of plies of powernet fabric 35, 37 in the second narrow width portion 24 (specifically, four plies) are both greater than the number of plies of powernet fabric 35 in the intermediate wide width portion 22 (specifically, two plies). In this case, by adjusting the number of plies of powernet fabric, the rigidity of each of the narrow width portions 23, 24 can be increased, and thereby twisting of each of the narrow width portions 23, 24 can be more suitably suppressed.

[0051] The length L2 of the first narrow portion 23 in the belt longitudinal direction and the length L3 of the second narrow portion 24 in the belt longitudinal direction are both shorter than half the length L1 of the intermediate wide portion 22. In this case, the short length of each of the narrow portions 23, 24 can effectively prevent each of the narrow portions 23, 24 from twisting.

[0052] The belt body 21 has a first wide portion 25, which is closer to the first end 21a than the first narrow portion 23, and which has a wider belt width than the first narrow portion 23, and a second wide portion 26, which is closer to the second end 21b than the second narrow portion 24, and which has a wider belt width than the second narrow portion 24. A hook-and-loop fastener 31a is provided in the first wide portion 25, and a hook-and-loop fastener 31b is provided in the second wide portion 26. As a result, even though the belt body 21 has the narrow portions 23, 24, the hook-and-loop fasteners 31a, 31b can be formed to be wide in the vertical direction, and as a result, the hook-and-loop fasteners 31a, 31b can be connected stably to the surface side of the intermediate wide portion 22 (specifically, the hook-and-loop fasteners 32a, 32b).

[0053] In the pants 10 with a waist belt, the intermediate wide portion 22 of the waist belt 12 (belt body 21) is fixed to the front side of the waist area 14 of the pants body 11. In this case, when connecting the hook-and-loop fasteners 31a, 31b of the waist belt 12 to the front side of the intermediate wide portion 22, they can be connected at the front side of the waist. This makes it easier to connect the waist belt 12.

[0054] A belt loop 17 is provided on the back side of the waistband 14 of the pants body 11, and the first narrow portion 23 and the second narrow portion 24 of the belt body 21 are passed through the belt loop 17 from opposite sides and arranged vertically side by side. This makes it possible to effectively prevent the narrow portions 23, 24 from twisting when the belt body 21 is fastened.

[0055] A belt loop 16 is provided on the front side of the waist portion 14, and the intermediate wide portion 22 of the belt body 21 is passed through the inside of the belt loop 16, and the intermediate wide portion 22 is sewn together with the waist portion 14 and the belt loop 16. This allows the intermediate wide portion 22 to be stably fixed to the front side of the waist portion 14.

[0056] The belt loop 16 is located on the front side of the waist portion 14, in the center in the left-right direction of the waist portion 14. Furthermore, hook-and-loop fasteners 32a, 32b are provided on the front surface of the intermediate wide portion 22 at positions on both left and right sides of the belt loop 16. In this case, even if the intermediate wide portion 22 is configured to be passed through the inside of the belt loop 16, it is possible to connect the hook-and-loop fasteners 31a, 31b at both ends of the belt main body 21 to the hook-and-loop fasteners 32a, 32b of the intermediate wide portion 22 in a balanced manner on the front side of the waist.

[0057] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be implemented, for example, as follows.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the hook and loop fasteners 32a, 32b are provided on the intermediate wide portion 22 of the belt body 21, but, for example, one of the hook and loop fasteners 32a, 32b, the hook and loop fastener 32a, may be provided on the surface side of the first wide portion 25. In this case, when fastening the waist belt 12 around the waist, first the hook and loop fastener 31a of the first wide portion 25 is connected to the hook and loop fastener 32b, and then the second wide portion 26 is placed on the surface side of the first wide portion 25 and the hook and loop fastener 31b of the second wide portion 26 is connected to the hook and loop fastener 32a of the first wide portion 25.
