Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to fabric pants intended as underwear. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a lower garment. The lower garment comprises a front body and a back body. The central lower end of the front body and the central lower end of the back body are respectively connected to the crotch section. The front body has a double structure having a skin-side section and a front-side section. The skin-side section covers the wearer's abdomen and lower abdomen. The front-side section is disposed on the outer surface of the skin-side section and covers the wearer's abdomen and lower abdomen. The skin-side section includes a skin-side main body. The skin-side main body covers the abdomen and lower abdomen and is connected to the crotch section. The front-side section includes a front-side main body and a front hem section. The front-side main body is disposed in an upper region of the front-side section and covers at least the abdomen. The front hem section is made of a separate member from the front-side main body and is connected to the lower edge of the front-side main body, covers the lower abdomen, and is connected to the crotch section. The front hem section protrudes from the surface on which the lower garment is placed flat because the upper edge, which is connected to the lower edge of the front-side main body, and the lower edge of the front-side main body have different shapes before being connected. The front hem is attached so that the length of fabric from the lower end of the armpit to the end point is greater than the distance between the lower end of the armpit and the end point of the joining part of the front hem to the crotch. The skin-side main body includes a first lower edge. The first lower edge connects the left and right edges of the skin-side main body to the crotch. The front hem covers the first lower edge of the skin-side main body. The front hem extends to a position that covers the upper ends of the wearer's thighs. The front hem includes a second lower edge. The second lower edge connects the left and right edges of the front hem to the crotch. The second lower edge and the side edges of the crotch form the front of the leg openings.

[0003] Patent Document 2 discloses shorts. The shorts have a front body, a back body, and a crotch section. Both side edges of the front body and both side edges of the back body are sewn together to form a torso opening. The lower ends of the front and back bodies are sewn to the crotch section to form leg openings. The crotch section is made of a double-layered fabric. Leavers lace is sewn to the leg-surrounding edges of the front and back bodies that form the leg openings. The elastic-free leavers lace prevents tightness in the groin area.

[0004] Patent Document 3 discloses a double-knit fabric. With a double-knit fabric, edge finishing after cutting is unnecessary (hemmingless). Double-knit fabric is excellent at preventing runs and curling from the cut edges.

[0005] Non-patent document 1 discloses a business being conducted by the applicant. Specifically, non-patent document 1 discloses a circular knit material named FlexMove®. This circular knit material has the characteristic of having a very small stress difference between stretching and tightening, and excellent fit when worn. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6744563 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3211342 [Patent Document 3] International Publication No. 2009 / 011440 [Non-patent literature]

[0007] [Non-Patent Document 1] Seiren Co., Ltd., "FlexMove (registered trademark) FlexMove (registered trademark)", [online], [searched March 9, 2024], Internet<URL:https: / / www.seiren.com / products / clothing / sportsinner / flexmove / > Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] As an undergarment, there are pants made of fabric having the following configuration. In this configuration, the pants include a first portion and a second portion. The first portion covers the wearer's genitals, perineum, and intergluteal cleft when worn. When worn, the pants are worn by the wearer. The second portion is connected to the first portion. The second portion has a ring-shaped configuration and is provided around the outer periphery of the wearer's thighs when worn. The second portion forms the hem of the pants. With pants of this configuration, the hem of the pants may ride up when the wearer moves their legs while wearing them. Riding up of the hem when worn interferes with the comfort of wearing the pants.

[0009] The present invention aims to provide pants that are comfortable to wear. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] One aspect of the present invention is a pair of pants made of fabric as underwear, the pants including: a first portion that covers the genitals, perineum, and intergluteal cleft of the wearer when the pants are worn by the wearer; and a second portion that is connected to the first portion, has an annular shape, and is positioned around the outer periphery of the wearer's thighs when the pants are worn, forming the hem of the pants, the second portion including a third region formed by overlapping a first region and a second region of a fabric portion that forms the second portion of the fabric that forms the pants, the third region having a first form in which the first region and the second region are joined together at a first outer edge of the first region that is positioned at the boundary between the first and second portions, and a second outer edge of the second region that is positioned at the boundary, and a second form in which the first region and the second region are separated from each other in a first range of the first region excluding the first outer edge and a second range of the second region excluding the second outer edge.

[0011] In these pants, the first and second regions are loose in the third region, in a first area of ​​the first region and a second area of ​​the second region. The second portion can relieve tightness around the thighs in the third region. By providing room in the second region, the pants can prevent the hem from riding up due to leg movement of the wearer.

[0012] The third region may be provided on the front side of the pants.

[0013] With this configuration, the second portion can relieve the tightness around the thighs in the third region on the front of the pants. Suppose the wearer walks forward. In this case, the wearer's legs move forward and backward relative to the wearer's torso. The second portion relieves the tightness around the thighs in the third region on the front of the pants in accordance with this movement of the wearer's legs. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] According to the present invention, pants that are comfortable to wear can be obtained. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0016] Embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the configurations described below, and various configurations can be adopted within the same technical concept. For example, some of the configurations described below may be omitted or replaced with other configurations. The present invention may also include other configurations. Dashed lines are hidden lines (see FIG. 1). Dot-dash lines are boundary lines (see FIG. 14).

[0017] <Pants 10> The pants 10 will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 14. Pants 10 are women's underwear worn on the lower body. Pants 10 may also be identified by a name other than "pants." For example, pants 10 may be called "shorts." In the embodiment, two forms of pants 10 are exemplified: boyleg (Figures 1 to 8) and normalleg (Figures 9 to 14). Boyleg pants may also be called boxer shorts. Boyleg pants 10 are called "pants 11," and normalleg pants 10 are called "pants 12." When pants 11 and 12 are not distinguished or when they are referred to collectively, they are called "pants 10." In the embodiment, the state in which the wearer is wearing pants 10 is called the "wearing state" (see Figures 7 to 8, 13 to 14).

[0018] The pants 10 include an absorbent pad 20 (see Figures 5-6, 9, 11-12). The absorbent pad 20 is located on the inside of the pants 10. The inside is the side that faces the wearer's skin when worn (see Figures 6, 12). In this embodiment, the side of the pants 10 opposite the inside is called the "outside" (see Figures 1-5, 7-11, 13-14). The absorbent pad 20 has an absorbent function and absorbs bodily fluids discharged from the human body. Examples of bodily fluids absorbed by the absorbent pad 20 include menstrual blood and urine. When the absorbent pad 20 is for absorbing menstrual blood, the pants 10 may also be called sanitary shorts. Sanitary shorts are well known. Therefore, further explanation of the absorbent pad 20 is omitted.

[0019] The pants 10 cover the wearer's skin when worn (see Figures 7 and 13). The pants 10 are made of fabric. The fabric forming the pants 10 preferably has stretch functionality, and preferably has water absorption and quick-drying functionality. Known fabrics can be used as the material for the pants 10. An example of the fabric forming the pants 10 is the circular knit material disclosed in Non-Patent Literature 1. As is clear from Non-Patent Literature 1, this circular knit material is publicly known. Therefore, further explanation regarding the fabric forming the pants 10 is omitted.

[0020] The pants 10 include a first portion 30 and a second portion 40 (see FIGS. 1 to 14). The first portion 30 is the main body of the pants 10 excluding the second portion 40. The first portion 30 covers the pubic area, perineum, and intergluteal cleft of a wearer of the pants 10. The first portion 30 has a just-waist configuration and covers the lower abdomen (see FIGS. 7 and 13).

[0021] The second part 40 is connected to the first part 30 (see Figures 1-14). The second part 40 has an annular shape. When a wearer puts on the pants 10, the wearer puts their legs through the second part 40. When worn, the second part 40 covers the wearer's thighs. The second part 40 forms the hem of the pants 10. The pants 10 includes second parts 41 and 42 as the second part 40. When a wearer puts on the pants 10, the wearer puts their right leg through the second part 41 and their left leg through the second part 42. When worn, the second part 41 covers the wearer's right thigh and the second part 42 covers the wearer's left thigh. In the embodiment, when the second parts 41 and 42 are not distinguished or are referred to collectively, they are called "second part 40". The left and right of the wearer are opposite to the left and right when the pants 10 are viewed from the front. In the embodiment, the left and right sides are based on the wearer when wearing the pants.

[0022] The second part 40 includes a third region R3. The third region R3 is formed by overlapping two regions of the following fabric portion. This fabric portion forms the annular second part 40 of the pants 10. In this embodiment, the two regions of this fabric portion are referred to as the "first region R1" and the "second region R2". The first region R1 is located on the front side of the pants 10 in the third region R3 (see Figures 1-5, 7-11, 13-14). The second region R2 is located on the back side of the pants 10 in the third region R3 (see Figures 1, 6, 12). That is, in the second part 40, the first region R1 and the second region R2 overlap so that the first region R1 is on the front side of the pants 10 and the second region R2 is on the back side of the pants 10, forming the third region R3. The third region R3 is located on the front side of the pants 10 (see Figures 1, 3-4, 6-10, 12-14). The front of the pants 10 conforms to the front of the wearer.

[0023] The third region R3 has the following first and second forms. In the first form, the first region R1 and the second region R2 are joined at the first outer edge E1 of the first region R1 and the second outer edge E2 of the second region R2. The first outer edge E1 of the first region R1 and the second outer edge E2 of the second region R2 are provided at the boundary portion of the first portion 30 and the second portion 40. In the second form, the first region R1 and the second region R2 are separated at the first range of the first region R1 and the second range of the second region R2. The first range of the first region R1 is the portion of the first region R1 excluding the first outer edge E1. The second range of the second region R2 is the portion of the second region R2 excluding the second outer edge E2. In the embodiment, the boundary portion of the first portion 30 and the second portion 40 is as follows: That is, the boundary portion of the first portion 30 and the second portion 40 is over the entire circumference of the base of the thigh, including the groin of the wearer. The dashed dotted line shown superimposed on the enlarged photograph in FIG. 14 corresponds to part of the boundary between the first portion 30 and the second portion 41 of the pants 12.

[0024] The third region R3 is joined at the first outer edge E1 of the first region R1 and the second outer edge E2 of the second region R2, which are located at the boundary between the first portion 30 and the second portion 40, but is not joined in the first range of the first region R1 and the second range of the second region R2, and is therefore free to move. In other words, the third region R3 is joined only at the first outer edge E1 of the first region R1 and the second outer edge E2 of the second region R2, which are located at the boundary between the first portion 30 and the second portion 40. In the third region R3, the position of the first range of the first region R1 can change freely without being constrained by the second range of the second region R2, or the position of the second range of the second region R2 can change freely without being constrained by the first range of the first region R1.

[0025] The pants 10 are formed by sewing together multiple parts. The multiple parts are formed by cutting the material fabric into the shape of each part. A seam is formed at the seam. An example of a seam is a flat seam. In the pants 10, a flat seam is formed at the seam where the multiple parts are joined. The pants 10 include a seam 50 at the boundary between the first part 30 and the second part 40. In this embodiment, the seam provided at the boundary between the first part 30 and the second part 40 is called "seam 50" and is distinguished from seams provided in other parts of the pants 10. The pants 10 employ a flat seam as the seam 50. The parts shown in the same manner as the seam 50 in Figures 1 to 14 are flat seams, similar to the seam 50.

[0026] In the pants 11, the seam 50 forms the entire boundary between the first part 30 and the second part 40. In the pants 11, the seam 50 is provided on the right and left sides of the pants 11, respectively. That is, the seam 50 on the right side of the pants 11 is provided at the boundary between the first part 30 and the second part 40 over the entire circumference of the base of the right thigh, including the right groin. The seam 50 on the left side of the pants 11 is provided at the boundary between the first part 30 and the second part 40 over the entire circumference of the base of the left thigh, including the left groin.

[0027] In the pants 12, the seam 50 forms part of the boundary between the first part 30 and the second part 40. In the pants 12, the seam 50 is provided in part of the entire boundary between the first part 30 and the second part 40 with respect to the outer thigh, on the circumference of the base of the thigh. In other words, the seam 50 is not provided in the entire remaining part of the boundary between the first part 30 and the second part 40 on the inner thigh side of the circumference of the base of the thigh.

[0028] In the pants 10, the seams 50 of the flat seam machine form low-stretch regions. The low-stretch regions have lower stretch than the fabric forming the pants 10. In the pants 11, as described above, the seams 50 form the entire boundary between the first portion 30 and the second portion 40, and this boundary corresponds to the entire circumference of the wearer's thighs, including the wearer's groin, when worn (see FIGS. 1 to 8 ). In the pants 11, low-stretch regions are provided along the entire boundary between the first portion 30 and the second portion 40. That is, in the pants 11, a first low-stretch region is provided along the entire boundary between the first portion 30 and the second portion 41, and a second low-stretch region is provided along the entire boundary between the first portion 30 and the second portion 42. When worn, the first low-stretch region corresponds to the entire circumference of the wearer's right thigh, including the right groin, and the second low-stretch region corresponds to the entire circumference of the wearer's left thigh, including the left groin.

[0029] In the pants 11, the stretch of the low-stretch region including the seam 50 may be 90% or less of the stretch of the fabric forming the pants 11. In this case, the stretch of the low-stretch region including the seam 50 is preferably 80% or less of the stretch of the fabric forming the pants 11. However, the stretch of the low-stretch region including the seam 50 is preferably 40% or more of the stretch of the fabric forming the pants 11 from the following viewpoint. This viewpoint is the wearing comfort of the pants 11. The sewing thread may be a thread with less stretch than the ground thread of the fabric forming the pants 11. The sewing thread forms the seam 50, and the ground thread forms the fabric forming the pants 11. For example, the stretch of the sewing thread may be about 30% or about 20% of the ground thread of the fabric forming the pants 11.

[0030] JIS L1096:2010 specifies fabric testing methods for woven and knitted fabrics. The elongation of the low-stretch area including the seam 50 and the elongation of the fabric forming the pants 10 can be measured in accordance with JIS L1096:2010 (tensile strength and elongation, Method A (strip method)). JIS L1095:2010 specifies general spun yarn testing methods. The elongation of sewing yarn and ground yarn can be measured in accordance with JIS L1095:2010.

[0031] Gathers 35 may be provided in the first portion 30 (see FIGS. 1-5, 7-8, and 11). In the pants 11, the gathers 35 are provided in the area of ​​the first portion 30 that corresponds to the wearer's pubic region, perineum, and gluteal cleft when worn (see FIGS. 1-5, 7-8). In the pants 12, the gathers 35 are provided in the area of ​​the first portion 30 that corresponds to the wearer's gluteal cleft when worn (see FIG. 11). The area of ​​the first portion 30 where the gathers 35 are provided is determined appropriately taking into account various conditions. The area of ​​the first portion 30 where the gathers 35 are provided may be determined appropriately taking into account the configuration of the pants 10. The gathers 35 are formed by the following method. In this method, elastic is stretched and sewn to the area where the gathers 35 are to be provided. A three-point zigzag stitch may be used for this stitching. The zigzag line drawn along the center of the gathers 35 in FIGS. 1 and 2 indicates that a three-point zigzag stitch is used for this stitching in the pants 11. This technique is well known. Therefore, further explanation regarding this will be omitted.

[0032] <Effects of the embodiment> According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

[0033] (1) The pants 10 are underwear and are made of fabric. The pants 10 include a first part 30 and a second part 40 (see Figures 1-14). The first part 30 covers the wearer's genitals, perineum, and gluteal cleft when worn. The pants 10 are worn by the wearer. The second part 40 is connected to the first part 30. The second part 40 has an annular shape and is provided on the outer circumference of the wearer's thigh when worn. The second part 40 forms the hem of the pants 10. The second part 40 includes a third region R3. In the third region R3, the first region R1 and the second region R2 of the fabric that forms the second part 40 of the pants 10 overlap. The third region R3 has a first form and a second form. In the first form, the first region R1 and the second region R2 are joined at the first outer edge E1 of the first region R1 and the second outer edge E2 of the second region R2. The first outer edge E1 of the first region R1 and the second outer edge E2 of the second region R2 are provided at the boundary between the first part 30 and the second part 40. In the second embodiment, the first region R1 and the second region R2 are separated within the first range of the first region R1 and the second range of the second region R2. The first range of the first region R1 is the part of the first region R1 excluding the first outer edge E1. The second range of the second region R2 is the part of the second region R2 excluding the second outer edge E2.

[0034] According to the pants 10, in the third region R3, the first region R1 and the second region R2 are free from each other, with the first range of the first region R1 and the second range of the second region R2 being free from each other. The second part 40 can alleviate the tightness around the thighs in the third region R3. By providing room in the second part 40, the pants 10 can suppress the hem from riding up due to the wearer's leg movements. The pants 10 offer superior comfort.

[0035] (2) In the pants 10, the third region R3 is provided on the front side of the pants 10 (see FIGS. 1, 3 to 4, 6 to 10, and 12 to 14).

[0036] With this configuration, the second portion 40 can relieve the tightness around the thighs in the third region R3 on the front side of the pants 10. Suppose a wearer walks forward. In this case, the wearer's legs move forward and backward relative to the wearer's torso. The second portion 40 relieves the tightness around the thighs in the third region R3 on the front side of the pants 10 in accordance with this movement of the wearer's legs.

[0037] (3) The pants 11 include a seam 50 (see FIGS. 1 to 8). The seam 50 is provided at the boundary between the first portion 30 and the second portion 40 in relation to the wearer's groin when worn (see FIGS. 7 and 8). The seam 50 forms a low-stretch region at the boundary between the first portion 30 and the second portion 40. The low-stretch region has lower stretchability than the fabric forming the pants 11.

[0038] This configuration allows the seam 50 to form a low-stretch region. The low-stretch region can suppress stretching at the boundary between the first portion 30 and the second portion 40 due to leg movement of the wearer. By suppressing stretch at the boundary between the first portion 30 and the second portion 40 using the low-stretch region, it is possible to prevent the fabric from lifting off the skin in and around the groin, allowing the fabric to adhere closely to the skin. This further suppresses the hem from riding up due to leg movement of the wearer.

[0039] <Modification> The embodiment can also be as follows. Some of the modifications shown below can be combined and adopted as appropriate. Below, we will explain the differences from the above, and explain the similarities as appropriate.

[0040] (1) In the embodiment, women's pants 10 are used as an example (see FIGS. 1 to 14). The pants 10 include an absorbent pad 20 (see FIGS. 5 to 6, 9, 11 to 12). Pants employing the structure of the third region R3 of the second portion 40 may also be for men. When the pants are for men, an example of bodily fluid is urine. In men's pants, the absorbent pad absorbs urine as a bodily fluid. In men's pants, the absorbent pad may have a different shape from the absorbent pad 20. The shape of the absorbent pad is determined appropriately taking into consideration various conditions. In pants employing the structure of the third region R3 of the second portion 40, the absorbent pad may be omitted. In other words, the structure of the third region R3 of the second portion 40 can be employed in women's or men's pants that do not include an absorbent pad.

[0041] (2) In the embodiment, pants 11 are exemplified as boyleg pants 10. In the pants 11, a seam 50 is provided along the entire boundary between the first portion 30 and the second portion 40 around the entire circumference of the wearer's thigh when worn (see FIGS. 1 to 8 ). The seam 50 forms a low-stretch region. That is, in the pants 11, a low-stretch region is provided along the entire boundary between the first portion 30 and the second portion 40 around the entire circumference of the wearer's thigh when worn. The boundary between the first and second portions where the low-stretch region is provided does not have to be along the entire circumference of the wearer's thigh when worn. The low-stretch region at the boundary between the first and second portions only needs to be provided relative to the wearer's groin. In this case, the pants include a seam at the boundary between the first and second portions relative to the wearer's groin when worn. An example of this seam is a flat seam, similar to the seam 50.

[0042] (3) In the pants 10, the third region R3 is provided on the front side of the pants 10 (see FIGS. 1, 3-4, 6-10, 12-14). The third region may be provided at a position other than the front side of the pants. The third region may be provided on the back side of the pants.

[0043] With this configuration, the second portion can relieve the tightness around the thighs in the third region at the back of the pants. Suppose the wearer walks forward. In this case, the wearer's legs move forward and backward relative to the wearer's torso. The second portion relieves the tightness around the thighs in the third region at the back of the pants in accordance with this movement of the wearer's legs. The third region may be provided on both the front and back of the pants.

[0044] (4) The pants 10 are formed by sewing together multiple parts (see Figures 1 to 14). The pants may be seamless. Assume that the pants have a seamless boy-leg configuration. In these pants, a seam similar to the seam 50 is provided along the entire boundary between the first and second portions around the entire circumference of the wearer's thighs when worn. This seam forms a low-stretch region in seamless pants. However, in seamless pants, the first and second portions are integral, so this seam does not sew the first and second portions together. Even in seamless pants, the boundary between the first and second portions where the low-stretch region is provided does not have to be along the entire circumference of the wearer's thighs when worn. This point has been described above. Therefore, further explanation regarding this point will be omitted.

[0045] (5) The pants 10 are formed by sewing together multiple parts. Sewing thread is used to sew together the multiple parts. In pants, multiple parts may be joined by a joining method other than sewing. An example of a joining method other than sewing is adhesion. Examples of adhesion include adhesion using a hot melt adhesive and adhesion using a hot melt adhesive tape. When there are multiple joining areas, different joining methods may be used for each area. Multiple joining methods may be used in combination for one joining area. The joining method for multiple parts is determined appropriately taking into account various conditions. [Explanation of symbols]
