[0034] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following drawings, for the sake of brevity, the same reference numerals are used for members and parts that perform the same function, and redundant explanations may be omitted or simplified. Also, the dimensional relationships (length, width, thickness, etc.) in each drawing may not necessarily accurately reflect the actual dimensional relationships. However, in some cases, the dimensional relationships are consistent in the designated drawings, and in such cases, it is possible to derive the six-view drawing from the dimensional and positional relationships in each drawing. Since this is clothing, the thickness can often be ignored in the six-view drawing.

[0035] Furthermore, matters other than those specifically mentioned herein but necessary for carrying out the present invention can be understood as design matters for those skilled in the art based on the prior art. The present invention can be carried out based on the contents disclosed herein and in the drawings and common technical knowledge in the art. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0036] Figures 1 and 2 show a frontal lateral perspective view (stereoscopic view) and a posterior lateral perspective view (stereoscopic view) of the spats 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, respectively. Figures 3 and 4 show a front view and a posterior view of the spats 100 of this embodiment when laid flat, respectively. Figure 5 is a muscle diagram illustrating the position of the iliotibial band 81. Figure 6 is a muscle diagram illustrating the positions of the vastus medialis muscle 82 and the vastus lateralis muscle 83.

[0037] The spats of this embodiment are garments that cover the lower body of the wearer, and more specifically, they cover the lower body from the waist down to above the knees or ankles. Furthermore, the spats of this embodiment may be either innerwear or outerwear, and may be called spats, leggings, stirrup pants, or tights.

[0038] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the leggings 100 consist of a leggings main body 10 that covers the leg 90 and a leggings opening 12 provided at the upper end 11 of the leggings main body 10. In this embodiment, the leggings main body 10 is provided with leggings pattern parts 20 (21, 22, 23, 24), and each leggings pattern part 20 (21, 22, 23, 24) has a strip-shaped structure (strip part). Specifically, the leggings main body 10 first has a leggings pattern part 21 located along a part of the iliotibial band 81. Next, a leggings pattern part 22 is formed on the upper side of the knee 91, in the region on the base side of the vastus medialis muscle 82, and then a leggings pattern part 23 is formed on the upper side of the knee 91, in the region on the base side of the vastus lateralis muscle 83. Furthermore, a fourth leggings pattern part 24 is formed located along a part of the gastrocnemius muscle 84.

[0039] To explain further, the illustrated spats 100 consist of a spats body 10 which is composed of a crotch area 10a that covers the buttocks 93 (or the crotch area including the buttocks 93) and a leg area (crotch area) 10b that covers the legs 90. The upper end 11 of the crotch area 10a corresponds to the waist of the wearer, and an opening 12 is formed therein for inserting the crotch area including the buttocks 93 and the legs 90. The upper end 11 of the spats 100 can be fitted with elastic (or a drawstring) to allow the spats 100 to be fastened at the waist.

[0040] The leg portion (crotch area) 10b of the spandex shorts 100 includes a right leg portion 15a and a left leg portion 15b. The user's (wearer's) right leg is inserted into the right leg portion 15a of the spandex shorts 100, and the user's (wearer's) left leg is inserted into the left leg portion 15b of the spandex shorts 100. The spandex shorts 100 are also configured so that the feet (ankles) protrude from the lower end 13 (lower end of the leg portion 10b).

[0041] In this embodiment, a first spats pattern portion 21 is provided on the thigh side of the leg portion (crotch area) 10b of the spats 100. Specifically, the first spats pattern portion 21 is formed along the iliotibial band 81 on the outer side of the right leg portion 15a and the outer side of the left leg portion 15b.

[0042] Furthermore, a second spats pattern section 22 and a third spats pattern section 23 are provided on the leg portion (crotch area) 10b of the spats 100, slightly above the knee 91. In the illustrated example, the second spats pattern section 22 and the third spats pattern section 23 are arranged as a pair in an inverted V shape, and are formed to cover the area on the base side of the vastus medialis muscle 82 and the area on the base side of the vastus lateralis muscle 83.

[0043] Furthermore, a fourth spats pattern section 24 is formed on the back of the thigh of the leg portion (crotch area) 10b of the spats 100, positioned along a part of the biceps femoris muscle (not shown). The biceps femoris muscle is part of the hamstrings located on the back of the thigh, and the presence of the fourth spats pattern section 24 stimulates and activates the biceps femoris (or hamstrings), thereby improving the wearer's athletic ability and flexibility. In the illustrated example, the fourth spats pattern section 24 is formed to extend to the middle of the back of the thigh, but it may be formed to be offset from the middle (center line) to accommodate individual differences.

[0044] Figures 3 and 4 are schematic plan and rear views, respectively, showing the configuration of the spats 100 of this embodiment when laid flat. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, spats pattern sections 20 (first to fourth spats pattern sections 21, 22, 23, and 24) are formed on the spats body section 10. In Figures 3 and 4, the spats pattern sections 20 are represented by diagonal lines.

[0045] Since the human body (skeleton, muscles) is basically symmetrical, the spats pattern sections 20 (first to fourth spats pattern sections 21, 22, 23, 24) are each arranged in a symmetrical shape. However, in reality, the roles of muscles on the right and left sides may differ (for example, right-handed people have muscles developed for throwing with their right hand), and in this respect, it may be preferable to form at least one of the first to fourth spats pattern sections 21, 22, 23, 24 asymmetrically, following the flow of muscles on the right and left sides, to suit each individual (custom-made). In addition, if there are cases where an asymmetrical arrangement is desired not due to differences in the position of muscles on the left and right sides (subtle differences in each individual), but for design requirements or other reasons, it is possible to change the spats pattern sections 20 (first to fourth spats pattern sections 21, 22, 23, 24) in this embodiment within the range in which they function. Furthermore, if it is desired to change the shape for design requirements or other reasons, it is possible to change it within the range in which the spats pattern section 20 (first to fourth spats pattern sections 21, 22, 23, 24) in this embodiment can perform its function.

[0046] The width of the spats pattern section 20 in this embodiment is, for example, 30 mm or less (in the illustrated example, for example, 25 mm ± 5 mm, or about 10 mm to 30 mm). Specifically, the widths of the first spats pattern section 21, the second spats pattern section 22, the third spats pattern section 23, and the fourth spats pattern section 24 are each 30 mm or less (25 mm in one example). However, the width of the spats pattern section 20 is not limited to 30 mm or less; it may exceed this if it is effective, and the lower limit of the width of the spats pattern section 20 may be 25 mm ± 5 mm or less than 10 mm.

[0047] Furthermore, as can be clearly seen from Figures 5 and 6, the correspondence between the positions of these muscles (iliotibial band 81, vastus medialis 82, vastus lateralis 83) and the formation positions of the first spats pattern section 21, second spats pattern section 22, and third spats pattern section 23 shown in Figures 1 to 4 is clear. The biceps femoris muscle in the fourth spats pattern section 24 is part of the so-called hamstrings located on the back of the thigh, and is located on the back of the thigh muscles shown in Figure 6. Although not shown in the figure, its position can be clearly understood.

[0048] The material constituting the main body 10 of the leggings in this embodiment is a fabric typically used for clothing (especially one suitable for leggings) and has appropriate elasticity as clothing (leggings). Here, elasticity means having properties appropriate for clothing and does not particularly require restorative force like that of rubber (elastomer). The material (fabric) constituting the main body 10 of the leggings can be a synthetic fiber material (e.g., nylon, polyurethane, etc.), a natural fiber material (e.g., cotton, silk, etc.), a blended synthetic fiber material (e.g., a blend of nylon and polyurethane), or a blend of natural fiber material and synthetic fiber material (e.g., a blend of cotton and polyurethane), or a blend of multiple types of materials (e.g., natural fiber material (cotton, etc.) / nylon / polyurethane, rayon / acrylic / polyester, acrylic / polyester / rayon / polyurethane, etc.).

[0049] In this embodiment, the spats pattern section 20 (i.e., the first spats pattern section 21, the second spats pattern section 22, the third spats pattern section 23, and the fourth spats pattern section 24) is made of tape material. The first spats pattern section 21, the second spats pattern section 22, the third spats pattern section 23, and the fourth spats pattern section 24, made of tape material, can support the muscles by stimulating the corresponding muscle areas of the spats 100 (i.e., the iliotibial band 81, the vastus medialis muscle 82, the vastus lateralis muscle 83, and the gastrocnemius muscle 84) and activating the muscles. In one example of this embodiment, the first spats pattern section 21, the second spats pattern section 22, the third spats pattern section 23, and the fourth spats pattern section 24 are constructed by attaching tape material to the back surface (the side not exposed, the side facing the body) of the spats body section 10. Furthermore, the first spats pattern section 21, the second spats pattern section 22, the third spats pattern section 23, and the fourth spats pattern section 24 can also be constructed by applying the tape material to the surface (exposed surface) of the spats body section 10. It is also possible to construct the first spats pattern section 21, the second spats pattern section 22, the third spats pattern section 23, and the fourth spats pattern section 24 by applying the tape material to both the front and back surfaces of the spats body section 10.

[0050] Alternatively, the tape materials (21, 22, 23, 24) constituting the leggings pattern section 20 can be made of fabric (here, cotton (for example, cotton 40 smooth)), and a heat-sensitive adhesive (or iron-on adhesive) can be applied to the fabric surface that will come into contact with (fix / adhere) the surface (here, the inner surface) of the leggings body section 10 (clothing). By heating with a heater (here, an iron), the tape materials can be attached (adhered and fixed) to the leggings body section 10 (clothing body). In this case, the presence of the fabric (contact surface, cotton) will indirectly irritate the skin. To prevent the tape materials (21, 22, 23, 24) from coming off or shifting even after washing, the tape materials may also be sewn and attached (fixed) to the leggings body section 10. In this case, it is more convenient to fix them with iron-on adhesive first, and then sew them with thread.

[0051] Furthermore, in a modified example of this embodiment, the spats pattern section 20 (specifically, the first spats pattern section 21, the second spats pattern section 22, the third spats pattern section 23, and the fourth spats pattern section 24) is composed of an ink-printed pattern formed by printing ink. That is, the spats pattern section 20 (21, 22, 23, 24) is formed by printing, rather than the tape material described above. In a preferred example of this embodiment, the ink-printed pattern constituting the spats pattern section 20 is formed by silkscreen printing.

[0052] Silkscreen printing (screen printing, silk printing) is a type of stencil printing that involves creating holes in a mesh-like stencil and dropping ink only into the holes to print. While the name originates from the fact that the stencils were historically made of silk, today, due to durability issues, synthetic fibers such as polyester or nylon (and sometimes metal) are used as the mesh material for stencil printing. In silkscreen printing, the mesh of the prepared stencil is pressed firmly against the shirt fabric (in this case, cotton). Ink is then placed on the mesh, and a squeegee is pressed firmly against the mesh and moved in a consistent direction across all surfaces of the mesh (or the desired printing area). This forces the ink through the holes into the fabric, thus completing the print. Silkscreen printing is a common technique for printing on clothing, and because it is not a specialized technique, it offers high technical stability and low manufacturing costs.

[0053] In screen printing, plastisol (ink) and water-based rubber (ink) can be used as inks for printing on leggings. Factories that handle large-volume printing (large orders of 300 pieces or more) often use plastisol, while medium-scale factories (small orders of around 50 pieces) often use water-based ink. In this embodiment, screen printing is used for the garment (leggings 100), but other printing methods (for example, inkjet direct printing) may be used as long as the effects of the garment (leggings 100) of this embodiment can be obtained. Furthermore, the printing ink (ink for printing on leggings) of this embodiment contains mineral (powder). In one example, the printing ink for this embodiment is prepared by adding an appropriate amount of minerals with a particle size of 325 mesh (approximately 44 microns) (minerals commonly known as "power stones" (e.g., radium ore, germanium, quartz, terahertz ore, tourmaline, etc.), or a blend of multiple minerals) at a concentration of 0.1g to 0.5g of each type (in one example, one, two, or three types) per 500 square centimeters of ink. Note that 500 square centimeters of ink corresponds to the print area of ​​one pair of leggings. Note that this concentration is just an example and can be changed or adjusted as appropriate according to the conditions of use. In addition, additives other than minerals (powder) may be added. As for the mineral powder, at least one mineral powder selected from the group consisting of radium ore, germanium, quartz, terahertz ore, and tourmaline (or a blend of two or more mineral powders) can be used. Furthermore, it is also preferable to include such mineral powders in the tape materials (21, 22, 23, 24) that constitute the spats pattern portion 20 described above.

[0054] According to the spats 100 of this embodiment, a first spats pattern section 21 located along a part of the iliotibial band 81, a second spats pattern section 22 located in the area on the base side of the vastus medialis muscle 82, a third spats pattern section 23 located in the area on the base side of the vastus lateralis muscle 83, and a fourth spats pattern section 24 located along a part of the biceps femoris muscle (not shown) are formed on the spats body 10, so that the muscles (81, 82, 83, 84) can be stimulated and activated. As a result, the muscles of the wearer can be supported and their athletic ability and flexibility can be improved. Furthermore, according to experiments by the inventor of this application, it was confirmed that wearing the spats 100 of this embodiment strengthens the legs and hips, that elderly people who had difficulty walking can walk, and that when worn by athletes, their performance improves. While taping, which involves applying tape directly to the body, is commonly used by athletes to protect muscles, the technology of this embodiment uses a weaker stimulus in contrast to the strong stimulus of direct taping, and can be called a non-contact, indirect taping method.

[0055] Furthermore, if the first spats pattern section 21, the second spats pattern section 22, the third spats pattern section 23, and the fourth spats pattern section 24 constituting the spats pattern section 20 are each composed of ink-printed patterns formed by printing ink onto the spats body section 10, then differences in characteristics such as feel (differences in texture, softness, elasticity, surface smoothness, etc.) will occur between the fabric (cotton) part of the spats body section 10 and the printed part (spats pattern section 20), and these differences in characteristics will activate muscles and support athletic performance. However, even if the difference in characteristics is slight, the ink-printed pattern (spats pattern section 20) does not need to support muscles and perform the function of improving athletic performance (the body is a collection of delicate sensors), but rather it only needs to trigger muscle stimulation, and even if the difference in characteristics due to the presence or absence of the ink-printed pattern is slight, it can still exert the effect of improving athletic performance. Furthermore, if minerals are incorporated into the ink (or tape material), it is possible that the effects of those minerals (for example, negative ions, terahertz waves, static electricity, far-infrared rays, hormesis, etc.) may be stimulating the muscles.

[0056] Furthermore, in a preferred example of this embodiment, the ink-printed pattern constituting the spats pattern section 20 (21-24) is formed by screen printing. Compared to patterns made using tape material, ink-printed patterns are more suitable for both small-lot and large-lot production, and manufacturing costs can be reduced by printing (especially by screen printing). Moreover, tape material can peel off after repeated washing, and it is preferable to sew the tape material to the shirt with thread to prevent this, but this increases manufacturing costs. In comparison, using an ink-printed pattern to constitute the spats pattern section 20 in the spats 100 of this embodiment reduces the likelihood of tape material peeling off, making it more durable, and also reduces manufacturing costs because sewing with thread is not required.

[0057] Next, the sock 200 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 7 to 10. Figures 7 and 8 show a front side perspective view (stereoscopic view) and a rear side perspective view (stereoscopic view) of the sock 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention, respectively. Figures 9 and 10 show a front view and a rear view of the sock 200 of this embodiment when it is laid flat, respectively. In Figures 9 and 10, the sock pattern portion 40 of the sock 200 is represented by diagonal lines.

[0058] Figure 11 is a muscle diagram illustrating the locations of the extensor hallucis longus (85) and extensor digitorum longus (86). Figure 12 is a muscle diagram illustrating the locations of the vastus medialis (82) and vastus lateralis (83). Figure 12 also shows the location of the gastrocnemius (84).

[0059] The socks of this embodiment are a type of footwear that covers the wearer's feet (or part of the legs and feet). The socks 200 of this embodiment may be five-toed socks or something like tabi socks.

[0060] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the sock 200 consists of a sock body 30 that covers the foot 94 and a sock opening 32 provided at the upper end 31 of the sock body 30. The foot 94 (toes 95) can be inserted through the sock opening 32 of the sock 200. In this embodiment, the sock body 30 has a sock pattern section 40 (41, 42) formed thereon. The sock pattern section 40 comprises a first sock pattern section 41 and a second sock pattern section 42. The first sock pattern section 41 is a pattern that covers part of the extensor hallucis longus muscle 85 and part of the extensor digitorum longus muscle 86. The second sock pattern section 42 is a pattern that extends from the Achilles tendon 87 to cover the soleus muscle 88.

[0061] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the first sock pattern portion 41 has a configuration that wraps around the area on the toe side of the center point between the toe 95 and the heel 96 (dotted line 99 in Figure 10), as shown in Figure 7. In the illustrated example, the first sock pattern portion 41 is formed in an annular pattern so as to cover the instep and sole of the foot. The width of the first sock pattern portion 40 is, for example, 100 mm or less, and in a preferred example, 70 mm ± 10 mm. The second sock pattern portion 42 has a V-shaped pattern, as shown in Figure 8. The width of the second sock pattern portion 42 is, for example, 30 mm or less (in the illustrated example, for example, 25 mm ± 5 mm, or about 10 mm to 30 mm).

[0062] Referring to Figures 11 and 12, it can be seen that the first sock pattern portion 41 is formed to cover a part of the extensor hallucis longus muscle 85 and a part of the extensor digitorum longus muscle 86, and the second sock pattern portion 42 extends to cover the Achilles tendon 87 and the soleus muscle 88.

[0063] The material constituting the sock body 30 of this embodiment is a fabric typically used for clothing (especially one suitable for socks) and has appropriate elasticity as clothing (socks). Here, elasticity means having properties appropriate for clothing and does not particularly require restorative force like that of rubber (elastomer). The material (fabric) constituting the leggings body 10 can be a natural fiber material (e.g., cotton, silk, wool, linen, etc.), a synthetic fiber material (e.g., polyester, acrylic, nylon, etc.), a blended synthetic fiber material (e.g., a blend of nylon and polyurethane), or a blend of natural fiber material and synthetic fiber material (e.g., a blend of cotton and polyurethane), or a blend of multiple types of materials (e.g., natural fiber material (cotton, etc.) / nylon / polyurethane material, rayon material / acrylic material / polyester material, acrylic material / polyester material / rayon material / polyurethane material, etc.).

[0064] In this embodiment, the sock pattern portion 40 (i.e., the first sock pattern portion 41 and the second sock pattern portion 42) is made of tape material. The first sock pattern portion 41 and the second sock pattern portion 42, made of tape material, can support the sock 200 by stimulating the corresponding muscle areas (i.e., the extensor hallucis longus muscle 85, the extensor digitorum longus muscle 86, the Achilles tendon 87, and the soleus muscle 88) and activating the muscles.

[0065] Alternatively, the tape material (41, 42) constituting the sock pattern portion 40 can be made of fabric (here, cotton (for example, cotton 40 smooth)), and a heat-sensitive adhesive (or iron-on adhesive) can be applied to the fabric surface that comes into contact with (fixes / adheres) the surface (here, the inner surface) of the sock body portion 30 (clothing). By heating with a heater (here, an iron), the tape material can be attached (adhered and fixed) to the sock body portion 30 (clothing body). In this case, the presence of the fabric (contact surface, cotton) indirectly irritates the skin. To prevent the tape material (41, 42) from coming off or shifting even after washing, the tape material may be sewn and attached (fixed) to the sock body portion 30. In this case, it is more convenient to fix it with iron-on adhesive first and then sew it with thread.

[0066] Furthermore, in a modified example of this embodiment, the sock pattern portion 40 (specifically, the first sock pattern portion 41 and the second sock pattern portion 42) is composed of an ink-printed pattern formed by printing ink. That is, the sock pattern portion 40 (41, 42) is formed by printing, rather than the tape material described above. In a preferred example of this embodiment, the ink-printed pattern constituting the sock pattern portion 40 is formed by silkscreen printing. Note that the description of this ink-printed pattern is the same as that of the leggings 100 described above, so it will be omitted for simplicity. However, depending on the conditions, specifications, and effects required of the sock 200, the printing and components of the ink-printed pattern of the sock pattern portion 40 (41, 42) may be modified compared to the ink-printed pattern of the leggings pattern portion 20 (21, 22, 23, 24) of the leggings 100, or the same may be used. In addition, it is preferable to include the mineral powder described above in the tape material (41, 42) constituting the sock pattern portion 40.

[0067] In the sock 200 of this embodiment, a first sock pattern portion 41 that covers a part of the extensor hallucis longus muscle 85 and a part of the extensor digitorum longus muscle 86, and a second sock pattern portion that extends from the Achilles tendon to cover the soleus muscle are formed in the sock body, so that the muscles can be stimulated and activated. As a result, it is possible to support the wearer's muscles and improve athletic ability and flexibility. Furthermore, according to experiments by the inventor of this application, it was confirmed that the feet feel lighter when wearing the sock 200 of this embodiment. Moreover, it was confirmed that the heels of disabled persons whose feet were paralyzed and could not touch the ground were able to touch the ground, and that these disabled persons were able to walk normally with their heels on the ground. It should be noted that the technology of this sock 200, like that of the spats 100 described above, uses a weak stimulus in contrast to the strong stimulus of directly applying tape, and can be called a non-contact indirect taping method.

[0068] Furthermore, the socks 200 of this embodiment can be worn in combination with the leggings 100 of this embodiment. In addition, the leggings body portion 10 of the leggings 100 and the sock body portion 30 of the socks 200 may be connected to form a stocking shape, and then leggings pattern portions 20 (21-24) and sock pattern portions 40 (41, 42) may be formed on that stocking shape to construct a garment.

[0069] Furthermore, the leggings 100 (and / or socks 200) of this embodiment can be combined with the shirt 300 shown in Figures 13 and 14. Figures 13 and 14 show the front and back views of the shirt 300 of this embodiment, respectively.

[0070] The shirt (T-shirt) 300 of this embodiment comprises an upper body portion 110 that covers the upper body and an upper body support portion 120 formed on the upper body portion 110. The upper body support portion 120 includes an upper body first support portion 121 located along at least a part of the psoas major muscle, an upper body second support portion 122 located along the supraspinatus muscle, and an upper body third support portion 123 located along the teres major muscle.

[0071] The first upper body support section 121 consists of a pair of strip-shaped structures (strips) 121a and 121b that extend along a portion of the psoas major muscle. The pair of strips 121a and 121b extend downward from a point 121c that corresponds to the upper starting point of the psoas major muscle. The second upper body support section 122 consists of a pair of strip-shaped structures (strips) 122a and 122b that extend along the supraspinatus muscle. The third upper body support section 123 consists of a pair of strip-shaped structures (strips) 123a and 123b that extend along the teres major muscle. In a preferred example of the shirt 300, the first upper body support section 121, the second upper body support section 122, and the third upper body support section 123 are made of tape material. In another preferred example, the upper body first support section 121, the upper body second support section 122, and the upper body third support section 123 are composed of an ink-printed pattern (typically formed by screen printing). The printing ink in this embodiment may contain minerals (powder). The description of the ink-printed pattern for the shirt 300 (particularly the upper body first support section 121, the upper body second support section 122, and the upper body third support section 123) is the same as that for the leggings 100 described above, and is therefore omitted for simplicity. Furthermore, it is preferable to include such mineral powder in the tape material constituting the upper body first support section 121, the upper body second support section 122, and the upper body third support section 123.

[0072] In this embodiment, the upper body portion 110 of the shirt 300 is composed of a torso portion 115 consisting of a front body 115a and a back body 115b, a collar portion 111, and sleeve portions 112. In this example, the lower end 119 of the torso portion 115 is located around the waist or crotch. Since the shirt 300 (upper body portion 110) of this embodiment has the shape of a T-shirt, the collar portion 111 is a round neck and does not have a collar like a shirt (for example, a dress shirt), but it may have a collar. Also, the sleeve portion 112 is short-sleeved, but it may be long-sleeved, three-quarter-sleeved (or five-quarter-sleeved), or sleeveless. The torso portion 115 is easier to manufacture by sewing together the front body 115a and the back body 115b, but it may also be a seamless, one-piece piece.

[0073] According to the shirt (garment) 300 of this embodiment, an upper body support section 120 is formed on the upper body section 110. The upper body support section 120 includes an upper body first support section 121 located along at least a part of the psoas major muscle, an upper body second support section 122 located along the supraspinatus muscle, and an upper body third support section 123 located along the teres major muscle. By supporting the muscles, it is possible to activate them and allow the Ren and Du meridians to flow naturally. As a result, it is possible to support the wearer's muscles (or the whole body including muscles and joints) during sports, transport, or when being cared for, thereby improving athletic ability and flexibility.

[0074] Furthermore, in the configuration of the shirt (garment) 300 of this embodiment, the ink-printed pattern constituting the upper body support pattern section 120 is made by silkscreen printing. As a result, there is a difference in characteristics such as feel between the T-shirt fabric (cotton) and the printed section (upper body support pattern section 120), and this difference in characteristics activates muscles and supports athletic performance. Even if the difference in characteristics is slight, the ink-printed pattern (upper body support pattern section 120) does not need to support muscles and perform the function of improving athletic performance (the body is a collection of delicate sensors), but rather it only needs to act as a trigger for muscle stimulation, and even if the difference in characteristics due to the presence or absence of the ink-printed pattern is slight, it can still exert the effect of improving athletic performance. In addition, when minerals are incorporated into the ink, it is possible that the influence of those minerals (for example, negative ions, terahertz waves, static electricity, far-infrared rays, hormesis, etc.) is also stimulating the muscles. In one example of this embodiment, the upper body first print pattern section 121, the upper body second print pattern section 122, and the upper body third print pattern section 123 are constructed by forming the ink printing pattern constituting the upper body support pattern section 120 on the surface (exposed surface) of the upper body section 110. Alternatively, the upper body first print pattern section 121, the upper body second print pattern section 122, and the upper body third print pattern section 123 can also be constructed by forming the ink printing pattern (upper body support pattern section 120) on the back surface (body-facing surface) of the upper body section 110.

[0075] Furthermore, the spats 100 of this embodiment may be combined with the shirt 300 according to this embodiment, or the spats 100 and shirt 300 may be combined into a single "jumpsuit." In addition, the socks 200 of this embodiment may be combined with it. The jumpsuit configuration of this embodiment may have buttons or zippers on a part of the jumpsuit (such as the back) to make it easier to put on and take off. The jumpsuit of this embodiment can be used as a jumpsuit for construction sites, a jumpsuit for factory work (for example, car maintenance), as well as a full-body suit, a wetsuit used for surfing or scuba diving, and swimwear.

[0076] Furthermore, the leggings 100 of this embodiment can be modified as shown in Figures 15 and 16. Figure 15 is a rear perspective view showing the configuration of a modified example of the leggings 100 according to this embodiment, and corresponds to Figure 2 described above. Figure 16 is a rear view showing the configuration of a modified example of the leggings 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and corresponds to Figure 4 described above.

[0077] In the spats 100 shown in Figures 15 and 16, a fifth spats pattern section 24 is further formed, located along a portion of the gastrocnemius muscle 84 (see Figure 12). In other words, in the spats body 10 shown in Figure 2 or 4, a fifth spats pattern section 25 is further formed on the back surface of the right leg section 15a and the back surface (posterior side) of the left leg section 15b, along a portion of the gastrocnemius muscle 84. The width and other conditions of the fifth spats pattern section 25 are the same as those described above (for example, spats pattern sections 24 or 21). The presence of the fifth spats pattern section 25 can stimulate and activate the gastrocnemius muscle 84, thereby improving the wearer's athletic ability and flexibility.

[0078] In addition, the spats 100 of this embodiment can be modified as shown in Figures 17 and 18. Figures 17 and 18 are front and rear views, respectively, showing the configuration of another modified example of the spats 100 according to this embodiment, and correspond to Figures 3 and 4 described above. The conditions such as the width of the new spats pattern sections (26, 27, 28, 29, 50) in the modified example are the same as those described above (for example, spats pattern section 24).

[0079] In the spats 100 shown in Figures 17 and 18, a sixth spats pattern section 26 is further formed on the spats 100 described above (especially those shown in Figures 15 and 16).

[0080] As shown in Figure 17, the sixth spats pattern section 26 consists of a psoas muscle pattern section 26a located along at least a portion of the psoas muscle (not shown) and an iliacus muscle pattern section 26b located along at least a portion of the iliacus muscle (not shown). The psoas muscle pattern section 26a and the iliacus muscle pattern section 26b extend upward from point 26c, which corresponds to the lower starting point of the psoas muscle. In the illustrated example, the sixth spats pattern section 26 has a V-shape with point 26c as the intersection (connection point).

[0081] Furthermore, in the spats 100 of this embodiment, the second spats pattern section 22 and the third spats pattern section 23 have a V-shape. In addition, the spats 100 of this embodiment have a seventh spats pattern section 27. The seventh spats pattern section 27 is located below the knee (91) and is a pattern located in a part of the area of ​​the extensor digitorum longus muscle (not shown) and / or the peroneus longus muscle (not shown). In the illustrated example, the seventh spats pattern section 27 is an inverted V-shape pattern. In this example, the second spats pattern section 22 and the third spats pattern section 23 and the seventh spats pattern section 27 are arranged in correspondence, that is, they are formed so that a V-shape and an inverted V-shape meet.

[0082] Furthermore, in the spats 100 of this embodiment, an eighth spats pattern portion 28 is formed that is located in a part of the area of ​​the peroneus brevis muscle (not shown). In the illustrated example, the eighth spats pattern portion 28 is formed to cover the perimeter of the leg 90. Note that it is not necessary to form it to completely encircle the leg 90; it may be in a form with a gap between the front and back sides.

[0083] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 18, the illustrated spats 100 have a ninth spats pattern portion 29 that extends from the Achilles tendon (87) to cover the soleus muscle (88). This ninth spats pattern portion 29 has substantially the same structure and function as the second sock pattern portion 42 (see Figure 8) of the sock 200 described above. In the configuration example shown in Figure 18, the ninth spats pattern portion 29 has a V-shape.

[0084] In addition, as shown in Figure 18, the spats 100 of this embodiment have a 10th spats pattern section 50. The 10th spats pattern section 50 consists of a gluteus minimus pattern section 51 located along the gluteus minimus muscle (not shown), a piriformis muscle pattern section 52 located along the piriformis muscle (not shown), and a sacrotuberous ligament pattern section 53 located along the sacrotuberous ligament (not shown).

[0085] In the tenth spats pattern section 50 of this embodiment, the piriformis muscle pattern section 52 stimulates the piriformis muscle, making it easier to maintain balance in the up-down and front-back directions. Preferably, the piriformis muscle pattern section 52 is formed to extend from end to end of the piriformis muscle (from the starting point to the ending point). Depending on the wearer's body type, it may not be formed along the entire length of the piriformis muscle, but preferably, the shape of the piriformis muscle pattern section 52 should correspond to the starting and ending points of the piriformis muscle pattern section 52, and the size lineup should be provided with this shape (or custom-made). Furthermore, the gluteus minimus muscle pattern section 51 and the sacrotuberous ligament pattern section 53 stimulate and activate (strengthen) the gluteus minimus muscle and the sacrotuberous ligament. In other words, both the gluteus minimus muscle and the sacrotuberous ligament are muscles that support the movement of the lower back, and by activating (strengthening) these muscles, it is possible to strengthen the lower back and prevent lower back pain.

[0086] According to the spats 100 shown in Figures 17 and 18, the spats pattern section 21 is located along a part of the iliotibial band 81, the spats pattern section 22 is located in the area on the base side of the vastus medialis muscle 82, the spats pattern section 23 is located in the area on the base side of the vastus lateralis muscle 83, the spats pattern section 24 is located along a part of the biceps femoris muscle, and the spats pattern section 26 is composed of a psoas major muscle pattern section 26a and an iliacus muscle pattern section 26b, and the long toe The spats body 10 is formed with a seventh spats pattern section 27 located in the area of ​​the extensor muscles and / or part of the peroneus longus muscle, an eighth spats pattern section 28 located in the area of ​​the peroneus brevis muscle, a ninth spats pattern section 29 extending from the Achilles tendon to cover the soleus muscle, and a tenth spats pattern section 50 composed of a gluteus minimus pattern section 51, a piriformis muscle pattern section 52, and a sacrotuberous ligament pattern section 53. By stimulating the corresponding muscles, the spats can be activated. As a result, the wearer's muscles can be supported, improving athletic ability and flexibility.

[0087] Next, the effects of the embodiment when the leggings 100 (and sometimes together with the shirt 300) and socks 200 of this embodiment are worn will be described in detail.

[0088] <Example 1> Male A patient with osteoarthritis of the knee wore Spats 100 for a week, and the knee pain they had experienced for 20 years since an accident disappeared. They were able to bend and straighten their knees smoothly without pain. Furthermore, they no longer needed bilateral knee braces from a world-leading manufacturer in Miyagi Prefecture, nor regular hyaluronic acid injections (joint injections, knee joint injections) or rehabilitation.

[0089] <Example 2> Woman When people experiencing pain due to hip joint deformity wore a 300cm shirt (see Figures 13 and 14) and 100cm leggings, their pain subsided and they were able to walk more easily.

[0090] <Example 3> Woman When elderly people who had become hunched over and walked slowly were fitted with the Relive Shirt 300 and Spats 100, their bodies straightened up and they were able to walk more easily.

[0091] <Example 4> Woman When elderly individuals who had difficulty climbing stairs and required handrails were fitted with the Relive Shirt 300 and Spats 100, they were able to walk more steadily and no longer needed handrails.

[0092] <Example 5> Woman in her 80s (a practicing doctor) When elderly individuals whose spines had curved and who had difficulty walking were fitted with the Relive Shirt 300 and Spats 100, they were able to walk more steadily.

[0093] <Example 6> A man in his 40s (a person with hemiplegia) A person whose left foot was contracted and whose heel wouldn't touch the ground was given a pair of socks (size 200) to wear, and as a result, their heel was able to touch the ground.

[0094] <Example 7> Male in his 50s When people who are prone to swollen and heavy feet wore Socks 200, the swelling subsided.

[0095] <Example 8> Woman in her 50s After trying on the Socks 200, walking long distances became much easier.

[0096] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to preferred embodiments, this description is not limiting, and various modifications are, of course, possible. The configurations or methods of the embodiments or modifications described above are mutually applicable. For example, in the spats 100 shown in Figure 2, a piriformis muscle pattern portion 52 may be formed at the buttocks, or a 10th spats pattern portion 50 may be formed. In the spats 100 shown in Figure 2, a 9th spats pattern portion 29 may be formed in place of the 4th spats pattern portion 24. Also, in the spats 100 shown in Figure 1, a 6th spats pattern portion 26 may be formed. Furthermore, in the spats 100 shown in Figures 17 and 18, the 8th spats pattern portion 28 may be deleted. Alternatively, in the spats 100 shown in Figure 18, the 8th spats pattern portion 28 and / or the 9th spats pattern portion 29 may be deleted and a 5th spats pattern portion 25 may be formed. Furthermore, in the spats 100 shown in Figures 17 and 18, it is also possible to construct spats with a simplified pattern by omitting the second spats pattern section 22, the third spats pattern section 23, the seventh spats pattern section 27, and the eighth spats pattern section 28. Such a simplified spats pattern will also be effective.

[0097] Furthermore, for example, when designing the leggings 100 of this embodiment for athletes, additional patterns to further improve functionality may be added to the illustrated pattern. Also, when the socks 200 of this embodiment are used as baseball stockings, the design (structure, function) may be made to harmonize with that of baseball stockings. In addition, in the configuration of the shirt 300 of this embodiment, since there is an issue of dressing / changing clothes when providing care, the front may be made to open and fitted with buttons or a zipper. This function to make it easy to open (such as a zipper) may also be applicable to the leggings 100 and / or socks 200. Although the shirt was mainly described in the form of a T-shirt, a collared shirt is basically required for golf, so it is preferable to configure it as a collared shirt. [Industrial applicability]

[0098] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide leggings and socks that can support the wearer's muscles and improve athletic performance and flexibility. [Explanation of Symbols]
