[0009] Next, an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, a T-shirt that can be worn as everyday wear (casual wear) will be used as an example of sweat-promoting clothing, but the clothing is not limited to this.

[0010] [1] First embodiment FIG. 1 is an external view of a T-shirt as a sweat-promoting garment according to a first embodiment, as viewed from the front side. FIG. 2 is an external view of a T-shirt as the perspiration promoting garment of the first embodiment, as viewed from the rear side. In Figs. 1 and 2, the T-shirt 10 has short sleeves, but it can also be three-quarter sleeves, long sleeves, or the like.

[0011] The T-shirt 10 comprises a front portion 11, a back portion 12, a collar 13, sleeves 14, 15, cuffs 16, a collar portion 17, a cuff portion 18, a hem portion 19, and a hem 20. These are sutured at predetermined suture points. As shown in FIG. 1, the front fabric 11 includes a front body 21 and front sleeves 22, 23. As shown in FIG. 2, the back fabric 12 includes a back body 31 and back sleeves 32, 33.

[0012] FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view of the front or rear fabric. In the above configuration, the front fabric 11 and the back fabric 12 each include an outer fabric 41 and a lining fabric 42, as shown in FIG. Here, the outer fabric 41 is made of a material that is common for the T-shirt 10. For example, it is made of a blend of 90% polyester and 10% spandex (elastic polyurethane fiber), or cotton and polyester, and is made of a fiber that is breathable and stretchable.

[0013] The lining 42 is made of a moisture-impermeable, stretchable, and heat-insulating material, and is formed, for example, by laminating (vinyl-coating) a polyurethane sheet onto the outer fabric 41.

[0014] According to this lining 42, the polyurethane sheet is a lightweight and strong material, and is highly elastic, with good stretchability in both the vertical and horizontal directions, so it can easily follow the movements of the user's body, and even when the user encourages increased sweating through exercise, etc., heat is not dissipated unnecessarily, thereby impairing the sweat-promoting effect.

[0015] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the state of the lining formed by laminating the back side of the front fabric of the first embodiment. As shown by hatching in FIG. 4, the lining 42 is formed over the entire surface of the front fabric 11 except for the collar area 17, the cuff areas 18 and the hem area 19 of the front fabric 11.

[0016] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the state of the lining formed by laminating on the back side of the back fabric of the first embodiment. As shown by hatching in FIG. 5, the lining 42 is formed over the entire surface of the back fabric 12 except for the collar area 17, the cuff areas 18, and the hem area 19.

[0017] In the above configuration, the collar area 17 is made of, for example, a rib, but if the outer fabric 41 is made of a highly stretchable material (especially a material that is highly stretchable around the neck), it can also be made of the same fabric as the outer fabric 41. The reason for using a highly stretchable material for the collar area 17 is that it adheres closely to the user's skin when the T-shirt 10 is worn, preventing heat from escaping and increasing sweat absorption.

[0018] The cuff surrounding portion 18 is made of the same fabric as the outer fabric 41. The hem opening portion 19 is also made of, for example, a rib cut, but it is also possible to use the same fabric as the outer fabric 41.

[0019] Furthermore, the outer fabric 41 of the front fabric 11 and the back fabric 12 is preferably cut so that the direction in which the fabric is least stretchable is vertical (the up-down direction in Fig. 1) and the direction in which it is most stretchable is horizontal (the left-right direction in Fig. 1). This is to better fit the fabric to the user's body shape and further promote sweating.

[0020] For example, by setting the longitudinal stretch rate of the outer fabric 41 to 5 to 25% and the lateral stretch rate to 10 to 40%, the T-shirt 10 becomes easy to put on and take off, is more comfortable to wear, and is less likely to lose its shape.

[0021] Furthermore, the polyurethane sheet used as the lining is not provided in openings such as the collar area 17, the cuff areas 18, and the hem area 19, so that the T-shirt 10 is easy to put on and take off, is comfortable to wear, and is less likely to lose its shape.

[0022] As explained above, the sweat-promoting clothing of the first embodiment can be worn casually like everyday clothing, while still promoting sweating sufficiently, and ultimately providing a sauna effect or a diet effect.

[0023] [2] Second embodiment Next, a second embodiment will be described. The T-shirt 10A as the perspiration promoting garment of the second embodiment has the same outer fabric configuration as that of the first embodiment, so the description of the first embodiment will be used and only the lining will be described.

[0024] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the state of the lining formed by laminating the back side of the front fabric in the second embodiment. As shown by hatching in FIG. 6, the lining 42 is formed over the entire surface of the front fabric 11 except for the collar area 17, the cuff areas 18 and the hem area 19 of the front fabric 11. Furthermore, as shown by cross-hatching in Figure 6, lining 42A, which is part of lining 42, is provided as a sweat-promoting garment around the arms corresponding to sleeves 14, 15 where the user desires to promote sweating more, and around the abdomen of the user in front body 21 or back body 31.

[0025] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the state of lining formed by laminating on the back side of the back fabric of the second embodiment. As shown by hatching in FIG. 7, the lining 42 is formed over the entire surface of the back fabric 12 except for the collar area 17, the cuff areas 18, and the hem area 19.

[0026] Furthermore, lining 42A, which is part of lining 42, is provided as a sweat-promoting garment around the arms corresponding to sleeves 14, 15 where the user desires to promote sweating more, and around the abdomen of the user in front body 21 or back body 31, as shown by cross-hatching in Figure 7.

[0027] FIG. 8 is a partial cross-sectional view of the front or rear fabric of the second embodiment. In the above configuration, the front fabric 11 and the back fabric 12 include a front fabric 41 and a lining fabric 42, as shown in Fig. 8, and a lining fabric 42A, which is a part of the lining fabric 42, is made of a polyurethane sheet that is thicker than the other parts of the lining fabric 42. However, as described above, the polyurethane sheet is light and strong, and has excellent elasticity and good stretchability in both the vertical and horizontal directions, so it can follow the movements of the user and provide even greater heat insulation.

[0028] Therefore, according to this lining 42A, the polyurethane sheet has improved insulating performance compared to other parts of the lining 42, and is able to promote sweating more, thereby promoting the user's metabolism more, and achieving even greater weight loss effects compared to the first embodiment.

[0029] As described above, according to the sweat-promoting clothing of the second embodiment, in addition to the effects of the first embodiment, by placing a lining 42A that is thicker than other lining parts in specific areas such as around the arms and stomach where the user desires more sweating, it is possible to promote more sweating in specific areas while wearing the clothing as casually as everyday clothing, and ultimately obtain a sauna effect or a diet effect.

[0030] [3] Third embodiment FIG. 9 is an external view of a body belt (so-called belly band) as a sweat-promoting garment according to the third embodiment, as viewed from the front side. In FIG. 9, the body belt 50 has a shape in which the central portion has a narrower portion than the upper and lower ends, but a cylindrical shape is also applicable.

[0031] FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the appearance of the body belt of the third embodiment. The body belt 50 includes a front portion 51, a back portion 52, an upper end opening 53, a lower end opening 54, a narrowed portion 55, an upper end opening peripheral portion 56, and a lower end opening peripheral portion 57.

[0032] The body belt 50 of the third embodiment is sewn to provide a narrowed portion 55 (a shape that narrows the waist portion), which allows for closer contact with the body and promotes a more effective sweating effect.

[0033] In this case, the front fabric 51 and the back fabric 52 have the outer fabric 41 and lining 42 shown in the first embodiment, and since the front fabric 51 and the back fabric 52 have the same shape and structure, only the structure of the front fabric 51 will be described.

[0034] FIG. 11 shows the formation of a lining by laminating the back side of the front fabric. As shown by hatching in FIG. 11, a lining 42 is formed by lamination on the back side of the front material 51 over the entire surface except for the upper end opening periphery 56 and the lower end opening periphery 57 of the front material 51.

[0035] In the above configuration, the upper end opening peripheral portion 56 and the lower end opening peripheral portion 57 are made of, for example, rib knit, but if the outer fabric 41 is made of a highly elastic material (especially a material that is highly elastic around the neck), they can also be made of the same fabric as the outer fabric 41. The reason for using a highly elastic material for the upper end opening peripheral portion 56 and the lower end opening peripheral portion 57 is to ensure that the lining 42 adheres closely to the user's skin when the body belt 50 is worn, preventing heat from escaping and increasing sweat absorption.

[0036] Furthermore, it is preferable to cut the outer fabric 41 of the front fabric 11 and the back fabric 12 so that the direction in which the fabric is least stretchable is vertical (up and down in Fig. 9) and the direction in which it is most stretchable is horizontal (left and right in Fig. 9). This is to fit the fabric to the user's body shape, to fit closer to the abdomen, and to further promote sweating.

[0037] Furthermore, since the polyurethane sheet as the lining 42 is not provided in the openings of the upper end opening periphery 56 and the lower end opening periphery 57, the body belt 50 is easy to put on and take off, and is more comfortable to wear.

[0038] As described above, the sweat-promoting garment of the third embodiment can be worn casually under everyday clothes and still sufficiently promote sweating without being noticeable from the outside.

[0039] In the above description, the lining 42 is a polyurethane sheet of uniform thickness, but it is also possible to configure a portion of the lining 42 as a thicker lining 42A, as in the second embodiment. According to this configuration, by disposing the lining 42A in a region where the user desires to sweat more, sweating can be promoted more in a more specific region.

[0040] In the above description, the upper end opening surrounding portion 56, the lower end opening surrounding portion 57, the front fabric 51, and the back fabric 52 are made up of separate components, but it is also possible to make the body belt 50 out of a single piece of fabric by sewing both ends together.

[0041] [4] Modifications of the embodiment Although the above description has been given of perspiration-promoting clothing worn on the upper body, the present invention can also be applied to clothing worn on the lower body, such as trousers, pants, etc. In this case, as in the above-described embodiments, the lining 42 is not provided at the opening, thereby making it easier to put on and take off.

[0042] Furthermore, in specific areas where the user desires to sweat more, such as around the thighs, a portion of the lining 42 can be configured as a thicker lining 42A, as in the second embodiment. According to this configuration, by disposing the lining 42A, it is possible to further promote perspiration in specific areas, thereby achieving a sauna effect or a diet effect.

[0043] In the above description, the lining 42 is a smooth flat surface, but it may also be a grained or matte surface. [Explanation of symbols]
