Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to clothing. Specifically, it relates to clothing made of a fabric composed of a material having waterproofness and airtightness, and having an effect of promoting an increase in the body temperature and sweating of the wearer.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, there has been lower body clothing having a heat retention effect. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses lower body clothing having elasticity and worn on the lower body, which includes a back fabric disposed on the skin-contact side and a front fabric disposed on the front side of the back fabric. The back fabric is skin-colored and subjected to back napping treatment, and the front fabric is made of yarn of a color darker than the color of the back fabric and is configured to have the stitches open when worn.

[0003] The lower body clothing disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a structure using two layers of fabric and has a certain heat retention effect, but it does not have waterproofness. Also, since the stitches of the front fabric are configured to open when worn, the airtightness is insufficient, and it does not have an effect of promoting an increase in the body temperature and sweating of the wearer, nor is it originally considered such an effect.

[0012] In the clothing according to the seventh aspect of the present invention, the clothing is leggings.

Advantages of the Invention

[0013] According to the first aspect of the present invention, since a fabric made of a material having waterproofness and airtightness is used on the inner side of the clothing, that is, on the side of the wearer's skin, the wearer's skin is blocked from the outside air by the inner fabric, and heat accumulates in the narrow space between the wearer's skin and the inner fabric, causing the wearer's body temperature to rise. Also, the sweat secreted by the wearer is difficult to dry due to the waterproofness and airtightness of the inner fabric, and moisture due to sweat accumulates between the wearer's skin and the inner fabric, making it possible to obtain a sweating promotion effect.

[0014] Moreover, since a fabric made of a stretchable material is used on the outside of the clothing, it is possible to give the clothing a good fit when worn.

[0015] According to the second aspect of the present invention, since a preferable material is used as the material having waterproofness and airtightness, it is possible to more effectively obtain the effect of raising the wearer's body temperature and promoting sweating.

[0016] According to the third aspect of the present invention, since a preferable material is used as the stretchable material, it is possible to give the clothing a better fit.

[0017] According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since optimal materials are used as the material having waterproofness and airtightness and the stretchable material, it is possible to more effectively obtain the effect of raising the wearer's body temperature and promoting sweating, and it is also possible to give the clothing an even better fit.

[0018] According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, since the ratio of the optimal combination of materials constituting the outer fabric is set within a suitable range, it is possible to give the clothing an even better fit, and it is also possible to improve the durability and shape retention of the clothing.

[0019] According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, since the clothing is a lower body clothing, the wearer can effectively tighten the lower body and obtain beautiful legs.

[0020] According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, since the clothing is leggings, an appropriate wearing pressure is applied to the lower body of the wearer, and the wearer can more effectively tighten the lower body and obtain beautiful legs.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0022] Hereinafter, the clothing of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In all the drawings for explaining the embodiments, the same reference numerals are given to common components, and repeated explanations are omitted.

[0023] FIGS. 1 to 3 are views showing an example of the clothing of the present invention. In FIGS. 1 to 3, as an example of the clothing of the present invention, the case where the clothing is leggings is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to leggings.

[0024] The clothing 1 of the present invention includes an inner fabric 2 made of a material having waterproofness and airtightness, and an outer fabric 3 made of a material having elasticity. That is, the clothing 1 of the present invention is composed of a two-layer fabric having the inner fabric 2 and the outer fabric 3.

[0025] The inner fabric 2 is the fabric on the side of the wearer's skin, and the outer fabric 3 is the fabric on the side that does not contact the wearer's skin. When, for example, polyurethane is used as the material constituting the inner fabric 2, the inner fabric 2 and the outer fabric 3 can be joined by uniformly applying liquid polyurethane to one side of the outer fabric 3 and then curing it by heat drying. Thereby, a two-layer fabric in which the inner fabric 2 and the outer fabric 3 are in close contact and integrated can be prepared, and the clothing 1 of the present invention is prepared using the two-layer fabric.

[0026] Since the inner fabric 2 is made of a material having waterproofness and airtightness, moisture and air do not enter from the outside to the inside of the inner fabric 2, and moisture and air are not released from the inside to the outside of the inner fabric 2 either. Therefore, the cold outside air and moisture do not enter the inside of the inner fabric 2, that is, the side of the wearer's skin, and the heat and sweat generated by the body temperature of the wearer inside the inner fabric 2 are not released to the outside of the inner fabric 2. Since the heat inside the inner fabric 2 is not released, the inner fabric 2 has a heat storage effect. Also, since the inner fabric 2 has airtightness, the sweat inside the inner fabric 2 is difficult to dry, and the inside of the inner fabric 2 is in a state where moisture due to heat and sweat accumulates, contributing to the effect of raising the wearer's body temperature and promoting sweating.

[0027] Since the inner fabric 2 of the present invention is adopted for the purpose of raising the wearer's body temperature and promoting sweating, it is desirable to use a material having waterproofness, airtightness, and further heat storage properties.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the material having waterproofness and airtightness constituting the inner fabric 2 is preferably one or a combination of two or more selected from polyurethane, chloroprene rubber, polyvinyl chloride, thermoplastic polyurethane, aluminum coating, graphene composite fiber, ceramic heat storage fiber, germanium fiber, and titanium-coated fiber, and more preferably polyurethane.

[0029] These preferred materials having waterproofness and airtightness have good waterproofness and airtightness, and in some cases, heat storage properties, so that it is possible to more effectively obtain the effect of raising the wearer's body temperature and promoting sweating. In particular, polyurethane has the most suitable waterproofness, airtightness, and heat storage properties for the clothing 1 of the present invention, so it is most desirable to use it as the material constituting the inner fabric 2, and it is possible to more effectively obtain the effect of raising the wearer's body temperature and promoting sweating.

[0030] Since the outer fabric 3 is made of a stretchable material, it imparts a good fit to the clothing 1 when worn. The outer fabric 3 is the fabric on the side that does not contact the wearer's skin and is a part that may come into contact with items existing around the wearer. Therefore, it is desirable that the material constituting the outer fabric 3 has durability.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the stretchable material constituting the outer fabric 3 is one or a combination of two or more selected from polyester, polyamide fiber, polypropylene fiber, regenerated fiber such as Tencel modal, polyurethane elastic fiber such as spandex, natural rubber and synthetic rubber such as elastane and latex, and polybutylene terephthalate fiber. It is more preferably a combination of polyester and spandex. Note that spandex is a fiber mainly composed of polyurethane, that is, a kind of polyurethane elastic fiber.

[0032] Since these preferred stretchable materials have good stretchability, it is possible to impart a good fit to the clothing 1 when worn. In particular, the combination of polyester and spandex has the most suitable stretchability for the clothing 1 of the present invention. Therefore, it is most desirable to use this as the material constituting the outer fabric 3, and it is possible to impart an even better fit to the clothing 1.

[0033] Polyester and spandex, which are a suitable combination of materials constituting the outer fabric 3, are preferably used in a ratio of 70 to 90% by mass of polyester and 10 to 30% by mass of spandex when the total amount of the outer fabric 3 is 100% by mass. Polyester as a material constituting the outer fabric 3 is desirable from the viewpoints of stretchability, durability, abrasion resistance, shape retention, etc. However, if it is used in a ratio exceeding 90% by mass as a material constituting the outer fabric 3, it may be slightly lacking in stretchability. On the other hand, if polyester is used in a ratio less than 70% by mass as a material constituting the outer fabric 3, durability may be slightly lacking. Therefore, by mainly using polyester and secondarily using spandex as materials constituting the outer fabric 3 and using both in the above-mentioned suitable ratio, it is possible to impart appropriate stretchability, durability, and shape retention to the clothing 1.

[0034] As described above, it is desirable to use polyurethane as a material constituting the inner fabric 2 and a combination of polyester and spandex as a material constituting the outer fabric 3. Thereby, it becomes possible to more effectively obtain the effect of promoting the wearer's body temperature rise and sweating, and it also becomes possible to impart a better fit feeling to the clothing 1.

[0035] When using polyurethane as a material constituting the inner fabric 2 and a combination of polyester and spandex as a material constituting the outer fabric 3, it is more desirable that the usage ratio of polyester and spandex be 70 to 90% by mass of polyester and 10 to 30% by mass of spandex. Thereby, it becomes possible to further impart appropriate stretchability, durability, and shape retention to the clothing 1.

[0036] The clothing 1 of the present invention includes items referred to as so-called tops such as shirts and sauna suits worn on the upper body, and items referred to as so-called bottoms worn on the lower body. However, in a preferred embodiment, it is desirable that the clothing 1 is clothing for the lower body. The clothing for the lower body includes various types of bottoms, for example, leggings, trunks, spats, tights, pants, etc. In a preferred embodiment, since the clothing 1 is clothing for the lower body, the wearer can concentrate on the lower body and obtain the effects of the present invention, that is, the body temperature increase and sweating promotion effects, so that it is possible to effectively tighten the lower body and obtain beautiful legs.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is desirable that the clothing 1 is leggings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, leggings are a type of bottom that covers from around the wearer's abdomen or waist to around the ankles, and are configured to fit and moderately adhere to the area from around the wearer's abdomen or waist to around the ankles. In the present invention, it is desirable that the leggings are designed so that an appropriate wearing pressure is applied to the area from around the wearer's abdomen or waist to around the ankles. Since the clothing 1 is leggings, an appropriate wearing pressure is applied to the lower body of the wearer, and the wearer can more effectively obtain the body temperature increase and sweating promotion effects, so that it is possible to more effectively tighten the lower body and obtain beautiful legs.

[0038] The clothing 1 of the present invention is manufactured through, for example, an outer fabric preparation process, an inner fabric preparation process, a cutting process, and a sewing process. Specifically preferably, first, in the outer fabric preparation process, an outer fabric 3 composed of a combination of 90% by mass of polyester and 10% by mass of spandex is prepared. Next, in the inner fabric preparation process, preferably, a liquid polyurethane resin is uniformly applied to one surface of the prepared outer fabric 3, and the two-layer fabric after application is passed through a heat drying device to dry and cure the polyurethane at a high temperature to prepare a two-layer structured fabric. In the cutting process, the prepared two-layer structured fabric is cut based on, for example, a pattern paper for leggings, that is, a pattern, when the clothing 1 is leggings, to prepare the parts constituting the clothing 1. In the sewing process, the prepared parts can be sewn, for example, mainly using a 4-needle 6-thread flat seamer sewing machine to manufacture the clothing 1. When the clothing 1 is leggings, the sewing process of the clothing 1 can be specifically preferably carried out by, for example, sewing the crotch and the inseam part of the front body and the back body, sewing the waistband (with rubber), and finishing the hem part with a 2-needle sewing machine. If necessary, the clothing 1 can be inspected, finished, and packaged to be commercialized.

[0039] The manufacturing method of the clothing 1 is an example of a preferred manufacturing method, and the clothing 1 of the present invention is not limited to those manufactured by the above manufacturing method. As described above, the clothing 1 of the present invention mainly features that the fabric constituting the clothing 1 has a two-layer structure of an inner fabric 2 and an outer fabric 3, and the materials constituting the inner fabric 2 and the outer fabric 3 are specified items. Therefore, other configurations and manufacturing methods of the clothing 1 can adopt known configurations and manufacturing methods in clothing.
