AI Technical Summary
Existing girdles cause discomfort and health issues by constricting the abdomen, fail to correct pelvic distortion, and do not adequately support the knee muscles, leading to low back pain and knee joint pain, particularly in women over 40 or those who have given birth.
A girdle design featuring a front body covering the abdomen, a back body covering the waist, and a support cloth connecting central parts, made of highly stretchable fabric, with additional leg cloth covering the thigh and support at the upper knee, to provide horizontal and vertical support to the pelvis and knee muscles.
The girdle effectively supports the pelvis into a correct upright position, reduces abdominal burden, alleviates knee discomfort, and enables stable walking by using stretchable fabrics that minimize constriction and enhance muscle support.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to clothing that is worn to relieve the instability of the pelvis and knee joints by supporting the pelvis from behind the pelvis and the pelvic floor muscle group to correct the posture and stabilize the pelvis, and by supporting the muscles above the knees in the thigh area.
Background Art
[0002] Generally, a girdle with a corrective effect applies pressure to the body with the compressive force of auxiliary materials such as fabric and power net, forcibly constricts the body, adjusts the lines of the lower body and the body, raises the hips and makes the abdomen look thinner. It causes great pain to the wearer and also causes problems such as constipation and cold sensitivity by constricting the abdomen and hindering the circulation of blood and lymph fluid in the body.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] The problems to be solved are that women over 40 years old, and even women in their 30s, clearly have symptoms of low back pain and knee joint pain along with childbirth, which has caused problems in their lives. The causes of low back pain and knee joint pain are due to the distortion of the pelvis and the breakdown of the balance of the lower body due to pregnancy, childbirth, hormonal decline during menopause, obesity, etc. As people age, the muscles around the pelvis and thighs decrease, the pelvis becomes distorted, the balance of the lower body is disrupted, and anxiety occurs during daily walking.
[0005] The girdle of Patent Document 1 mentioned above can moderately constrict the abdomen and hips to achieve a corrective effect on the surface of the body, but it places a large load on the abdomen and cannot correct the pelvis to its normal position or support the muscle strength around the knees.
[0006] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a girdle that can correct the body shape by correctly positioning the pelvis upright while supporting it from behind the pelvis, reducing the load on the abdomen with internal organs, lifting the relaxed pelvic floor muscle group, creating the correct position of the pelvis, and supporting the quadriceps femoris in the upper thigh to achieve stable walking.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0007] The present invention that achieves the above object includes a front body covering the abdomen, a back body covering the waist, and a support cloth connecting the central part of the front body and the central part of the back body. The support cloth is formed of a highly stretchable fabric, and one end on both sides is sewn to the body fabric at the central part of the lower front body, and the other end is sewn to the body fabric at the central part of the back body, and is characterized by integrally covering the central parts of the abdomen, crotch, and buttocks.
[0008] Also, a leg cloth covering the thigh is sewn across the front body, the back body, and the support cloth, and a support cloth is provided at the upper knee of the thigh, and is worn as a girdle.
Effects of the Invention
[0009] By overlapping and wearing the girdle of the present invention over the shorts, the tension of the support cloth formed of a highly stretchable fabric pulls the crotch part surrounded by the thigh and buttocks upward, and the relaxed pelvic floor muscle group is pulled upward. Therefore, by supporting the pelvis in two directions, horizontal and vertical, the distorted pelvis can be supported in the correct shape. The fabric of the front body abdomen uses a body fabric with better stretchability, which facilitates the attachment and detachment of the girdle and prevents constipation caused by compressing the small intestine and large intestine. It supports the back side of the pelvis and the pelvic floor muscle group at the bottom of the pelvis, reduces the burden on the abdomen, and can adjust the pelvis into the correct shape without feeling abdominal pain, achieving the effect of correcting the body shape.
[0010] In addition, by attaching a support tape made of highly stretchable fabric to the upper part of the thigh above the knee, the loose quadriceps femoris muscle is supported, the looseness of the muscles around the knee is supported, the uneasiness of the knee is improved, and stable walking is enabled.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0012] Hereinafter, based on the drawings, the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figures 1 to 5 show the first embodiment of the present invention. The girdle 11 is composed of a front body 12 that covers the abdomen and hip joints of the wearer, a back body 13 that covers the upper part of the waist, a support cloth 14 that connects the center of the front body 12 and the center of the back body 13, and a cloth 15 that covers the thigh part.
[0013] The body fabrics 12b and 13a of the front body 12 and the back body 13 are made of highly stretchable fabrics and are integrally connected. The central part 12a of the front body 12 is made of a fabric with good stretchability.
[0014] The main body part, the lower front abdomen 14a, the crotch part 14b, and the central part of the buttocks 14c of the support cloth 14 are formed of highly stretchable fabrics and are integrally connected.
[0015] The stretchable leg cloth 15 is formed of a highly stretchable fabric at the upper knee part 15a.
[0016] In this embodiment, by being formed as described above, when the girdle 11 is worn over the shorts, the pelvic floor muscle group is pulled upward by the tension of the support cloth 14 formed of a highly stretchable fabric. By using a stretchable fabric for the front abdomen 12a, it becomes easier to put on and take off, and reduces the constriction on the small intestine and large intestine. The body fabrics 12b and 13a of the front body part 12 and the back body part 13 use a highly stretchable fabric, and by closely adhering to the back of the wearer's pelvis, it supports the back body part and the side parts of the front body part along the back of the pelvis to keep the pelvis in the correct upright position, and the body shape correction effect can be achieved. Also, by attaching the support tape 15a to the upper knee part of the thigh part 15, it supports the relaxed quadriceps femoris muscle, supports the relaxation of the muscles around the knee, improves the knee discomfort, and enables stable walking.
