lower garment

Abstract

This garment provides lower abdominal support and a tightening effect around the lower abdomen, while also helping to suppress a protruding belly. [Solution] The wide pants 10 of this embodiment have a crotch area 11 and a crotch area 12. On the back of the crotch area 11, a band-shaped elastic member 34 is provided so as to encircle the lower torso of the body. Also, on the front side of the crotch area 11, on the back thereof, left and right pocket fabrics 31 and 32 made of non-elastic fabric are provided. The pocket fabrics 31 and 32 are provided in the range from the side seams S1 and S2 to the facing portion 27 or the fly portion, one end of which is sewn to the side seams S1 and S2, and the other end of which is sewn to the facing portion 27 or the fly portion. Conventionally, from the viewpoint of balancing with everyday wear, there is a certain limit to the elasticity performance of elastic members, and even if a tightening effect around the lower abdomen is obtained by the elastic member, there is a problem that the bulging of the lower abdomen (protruding belly) cannot be sufficiently suppressed.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] As described above, even if a stretchable member such as a power net is provided to obtain a tightening effect around the lower abdomen and a support effect such as posture, if the contraction performance of the stretchable member is increased too much to enhance the effect, the tightening feeling will become too strong and it will be unsuitable for daily wear. Therefore, from the perspective of balance with daily wear, there is a certain limit to the stretch and contraction performance of the stretchable member. Then, even if a tightening effect around the lower abdomen is obtained by the stretchable member, there is a problem that sufficient suppression of the bulging of the lower abdomen (pot belly) cannot be obtained.

[0005] This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide lower garments that can sufficiently suppress a protruding belly while providing a tightening effect around the lower abdomen and support for posture, etc. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the lower garment of this invention is: A lower torso covering that covers the lower torso area of ​​the body, An expandable member is provided on the back side of the lower torso cover portion, so as to encircle the lower torso portion from at least the left and right side seams to the rear, On the front side of the lower body cover portion, a non-stretchable member is provided on the back side of the lower body cover portion, It is characterized by having the following features. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] In the lower garment of this invention, elastic members provided at least on the left and right sides and on the back provide a tightening effect and support for posture, etc., on at least the back of the lower torso when worn. Furthermore, on the front of the garment, a non-elastic member provided on the back of the lower torso covering part prevents the lower torso covering part from bulging forward due to a protruding lower abdomen, that is, it suppresses abdominal bulging (a protruding belly). As a result, it is possible to suppress a protruding belly while obtaining a tightening effect around the lower abdomen and support for posture, etc., without excessively increasing the elasticity of the elastic members.

[Figure 2] A partially unfolded view showing the inside of the crotch area of ​​the wide pants of this embodiment. [Figure 3] A partial unfolded view showing the inside of the crotch area of ​​wide pants in another embodiment. [Figure 4] A partial unfolded view showing the inside of the crotch area of ​​wide pants in another embodiment. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] The present invention will now be described in part with reference to the drawings, describing one embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the present invention is embodied in the women's wide pants 10 shown in Figure 1. In the following description, "left and right" refers to the left and right sides as seen from the perspective of the wearer of the wide pants 10.

[0010] As shown in Figure 1, the wide pants 10 have a crotch area 11 and an inseam area 12. The crotch area 11 and the inseam area 12 are made of various fabrics such as cotton, polyester, rayon, and other synthetic fibers, as well as denim (including stretchable denim) and blends thereof. The inseam area 12 has a pair of leg sections 12a and 12b. Because they are wide pants 10, the thigh width and hem width of the pair of leg sections 12a and 12b are made relatively wide.

[0011] The crotch area 11 and the pair of leg sections 12a and 12b are formed by sewing the front panel 13 and the back panel 14 together on the inner thigh and side sides. The parts sewn together on the side sides are called side seams S1 and S2. Note that in the front view of Figure 1(a), the left side seam S1 is shown on the right side and the right side seam S2 is shown on the left side, so the left and right in the illustration are reversed from the left and right in the explanation.

[0012] The crotch area 11 is the part that covers at least the lower torso of the wearer's body and corresponds to the lower torso covering. The lower torso, as used here, refers to the part of the body from the lower abdomen to the hips, excluding the hands, feet, and head above the neck. The crotch area 11 has a main body part 21, a waist belt part 22, an opening / closing part 23, a pair of front pockets 24, and a pair of back pockets 25.

[0013] The main body 21 has a regular rise, and when worn, it covers the wearer's lower torso. The waistband 22 is sewn to the upper edge of the main body 21. The opening / closing section 23 is a slit that extends vertically from the upper edge of the crotch area 11 towards the crotch at the front center CF of the wide pants 10. A zipper 26 is attached to the opening / closing section 23, as shown in Figure 2. When putting on or taking off the wide pants 10, the opening / closing section 23 is opened and closed by opening and closing the zipper 26.

[0014] As shown in Figure 2, pocket bags 31 and 32 are provided on the back side of the main body portion 21 in the crotch area 11, forming a pair of front pockets 24. Each pocket bag 31 and 32 is made of a non-stretchable fabric such as lining, and a mouthpiece 33 made of the same fabric as the crotch area 11 is provided on the front side (see Figure 1). The upper edges of each pocket bag 31 and 32 are sewn to the lower edge of the waistband portion 22 over their entire length. Hereinafter, of the pair of pocket bags 31 and 32, the one forming the left front pocket 24a will be referred to as the left pocket bag 31, and the one forming the right front pocket 24b will be referred to as the right pocket bag 32.

[0015] The left pocket fabric 31 is provided to the left of the opening / closing section 23, in the range from the facing section 27 to the left side seam S1. The left edge of the left pocket fabric 31 is sewn to the left side seam S1, and the right edge is sewn to the left edge 27a of the facing section 27. On the other hand, the right pocket fabric 32 is provided to the right of the opening / closing section 23, in the range from the overhang section 28 to the right side seam S2. The right edge of the right pocket fabric 32 is sewn to the right side seam S2, and the left edge is sewn to the right edge 28a of the overhang section 28. In this embodiment, the left pocket fabric 31 corresponds to the first non-stretchable member, and the right pocket fabric 32 corresponds to the second non-stretchable member.

[0016] Next, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a belt-shaped elastic member 34 is provided so as to go around the upper thigh portion 11 on the back side of the main body portion 21 in the upper thigh portion 11. The elastic member 34 in FIG. 2 is partially omitted on the right side in order to show the right pocket cloth 32. The elastic member 34 is formed of a wide flat rubber and is provided over the entire circumferential direction on the back side of the upper thigh portion 11. Although the width dimension of the elastic member 34 is arbitrary, it is preferably in the range of about 100 mm, for example.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 2, the upper end edge of the elastic member 34 is sewn to the lower end edge of the waist belt portion 22. One of the longitudinal ends of the elastic member 34 is sewn to the left end edge 27a of the turning-back portion 27 on the left side of the opening / closing portion 23. The other of the longitudinal ends of the elastic member 34 is sewn to the right end edge 28a of the take-out portion 28 on the right side of the opening / closing portion 23.

[0018] The elastic member 34 is sewn to the upper thigh portion 11 only at the upper end edge 34a and both longitudinal ends, and the lower end portion is not sewn to the fabric of the upper thigh portion 11 and is a free end. Therefore, the entire back side (the side of the fabric of the upper thigh portion 11) of the elastic member 34 except the upper end edge 34a and both longitudinal ends is in a joined state with the upper thigh portion 11. However, together with the belt passage 22a provided in the waist belt portion 22 (see FIG. 1(a)), the upper thigh portion 21 of the upper thigh portion 11 and the elastic member 34 are partially sewn by the tacking 35. The tacking 35 prevents the displacement and overlap of the elastic member 34.

[0019] The wide pants 10 of this embodiment have the above configuration, and the elastic member 34 is provided over the entire circumferential direction of the upper thigh portion 11. Thereby, when worn, a tightening effect and a support effect such as posture can be obtained around the waist of the body. At the same time, on the front side of the wide pants 10, the upper thigh portion 11 is prevented from bulging forward due to the bulging lower abdomen by the bag fabrics 31 and 32 made of non-elastic fabric provided on the back side of the upper thigh portion 11. That is, the bulging of the lower abdomen (pot belly) is suppressed. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the pot belly while obtaining a tightening effect and a support effect such as posture around the lower abdomen without excessively increasing the elastic performance of the elastic member 34.

[0020] Further, the bag fabrics 31 and 32 provided on the left and right are provided from the opening / closing portion 23 to the side lines S1 and S2, and one end thereof is sewn to the side lines S1 and S2. And the other ends of the bag fabrics 31 and 32 are provided until they reach the turning-back portion 27 or the take-out portion 28, and are sewn to the turning-back portion 27 or the take-out portion 28. Therefore, the left and right bag fabrics 31 and 32 are fixed to the upper thigh portion 11 at the left and right both end edges thereof. Thereby, the pot belly can be suppressed in a wide range on the front side of the upper thigh portion 11.

[0021] Furthermore, in underwear such as pants, where a front pocket 24 is usually provided, the bag fabrics 31 and 32 forming the front pocket 24 are used to suppress the pot belly. For this reason, if the bag fabrics 31 and 32 provided in the conventional underwear are formed to have a size that extends to the turning-back portion 27 or the take-out portion 28 and are sewn to the turning-back portion 27 or the take-out portion 28, a configuration for suppressing the pot belly can be realized. Therefore, when providing a non-elastic member on the front side of the wide pants 10, there is no need to add a process of preparing a new fabric and sewing it, and an increase in manufacturing cost and the time required for manufacturing can be prevented.

[0022] Note that the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the women's wide pants 10 of this embodiment, and for example, the following configuration may be adopted.

[0023] The lower garments may include straight pants, slim-fit pants, skirts, shorts, etc., and there are no restrictions on the gender of the target. If the lower garment is a skirt, the part of the skirt that covers the area from the lower abdomen to the hips will be considered the lower torso covering.

[0024] As shown in Figure 3, the elastic member 34 may be provided only on the side behind the left and right side seams S1 and S2. Even with this configuration, a tightening effect on the lower torso and a support effect on posture can be obtained on the side behind the side seams S1 and S2.

[0025] As shown in Figure 4, the pocket fabrics 31 and 32 may retain the conventional configuration in which the edges opposite to the side seams S1 and S2 are not sewn to the facing portion 27 and the extension portion 28, and the pocket fabrics 31 and 32 float away from the main body portion 21 of the crotch area 11 at the opposite edge. In this case, in addition to the pocket fabrics 31 and 32, non-stretchable members 41 and 42 made of non-stretchable fabric are provided on the back of the front of the crotch area 11.

[0026] More specifically, the left non-stretchable member 41 is provided to the left of the opening / closing section 23, in the range from the facing section 27 to the left side seam S1. The left edge of the left non-stretchable member 41 is sewn to the left side seam S1, and the right edge is sewn to the left edge 27a of the facing section 27. On the other hand, the right non-stretchable member 42 is provided to the right of the opening / closing section 23, in the range from the overhang section 28 to the right side seam S2. The right edge of the right non-stretchable member 42 is sewn to the right side seam S2, and the left edge is sewn to the right edge 28a of the overhang section 28. In this alternative configuration, the left non-stretchable member 41 corresponds to the first non-stretchable member, and the right non-stretchable member 42 corresponds to the second non-stretchable member.

[0027] The crotch area 11 may not have an opening / closing section 23. For example, a configuration in which a flat elastic is provided in the waistband section 22, making it an expandable waistband section 22, is conceivable. In this case, a non-stretchable member is provided in an arbitrary range on the left and right sides, centered on the front center CF, in front of the left and right side seams S1, S2. To obtain the effect of suppressing a protruding belly, it is preferable that the non-stretchable member be provided in a wide range in front of the left and right side seams.
