[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2008-38263 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2008-38262 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in the conventional clothing as described above, when the wearer moves, such as sitting or standing, the fabric follows the expansion and contraction of the skin, which can cause the clothing to slip down.

[0006] An aspect of the present invention aims to reduce slipping that occurs when wearing clothing and performing the action of sitting or standing up. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, a garment according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a panty portion, a waist portion provided at the opening of the panty portion, and a slip-down prevention portion that prevents the panty portion from slipping down, the slip-down prevention portion including two first prevention portions provided on both sides of the panty portion and extending in the length direction of the panty portion, and a second prevention portion provided on the back portion of the panty portion and extending in the width direction of the panty portion above the top of the wearer's buttocks. Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of slipping off when sitting or standing up while wearing clothing. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0009] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a rear view showing the pantyhose according to the embodiment of the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a side view showing the garment of FIG. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a part of the garment shown in FIG. [Figure 4] FIG. 3 is an enlarged side view of a portion of the garment shown in FIG. 2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below. Fig. 1 is a back view of pantyhose (garment) 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a side view of the pantyhose 1 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a part of the pantyhose 1 of Fig. 1. Reference numeral 301 in Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the pantyhose 1 as viewed from the front, and reference numeral 302 in Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the pantyhose 1 as viewed from the back.

[0011] In addition, the dimensional ratios of the drawings do not necessarily correspond to the actual ones. In addition, in the explanation, "upward" refers to the direction from the wearer's abdomen 81 toward the head in the length direction of the pantyhose 1 when worn, and "downward" refers to the direction from the wearer's abdomen 81 toward the feet in the length direction of the pantyhose 1 when worn.

[0012] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the pantyhose 1 includes a panty part 10, a waist part 20, and a leg part 30. The pantyhose 1 is a pair of left and right tubular knitted bodies, and the panty part 10, the waist part 20, and the leg part 30 are knitted integrally using a knitting machine such as a known circular knitting machine.

[0013] The waist portion 20 is provided at the opening of the panty portion 10. The waist portion 20 is made of a knitted fabric having lower elasticity than the knitted fabric of the panty portion 10. The panty portion 10 extends lengthwise from the lower end of the waist portion 20 and includes a front portion 10A covering the wearer's abdomen 81 and crotch portion 82, and a back portion 10B covering the wearer's buttocks 83. The leg portion 30 extends lengthwise from the lower end of the panty portion 10. The leg portion 30 includes a left leg portion 30A covering the wearer's left leg and a right leg portion 30B covering the wearer's right leg, and covers the wearer's legs 84 to feet 85.

[0014] The pantyhose 1 further includes a slip-down prevention section for preventing the panty section 10 from slipping down. In this embodiment, the slip-down prevention section includes two sections: a first low-stretch section (first prevention section) 40 and a second low-stretch section (second prevention section) 50. The first low-stretch section 40 and the second low-stretch section 50 preferably have characteristics for preventing the pantyhose 1 (panty section 10) from slipping down. In this embodiment, the first low-stretch section 40 and the second low-stretch section 50 are made of a low-stretch knit fabric that is less stretchy than the panty section 10.

[0015] The first low-elasticity parts 40 are provided on both side parts 10C of the panty part 10, and extend in the length direction (vertical direction) of the panty part 10. The both side parts 10C are parts of the panty part 10 that cover both the left and right sides of the buttocks 83 along the wearer's body side. In other words, the both side parts 10C are parts located at the ends in the width direction when the pantyhose 1 is in a state where the front part 10A and the back part 10B are overlapped. Note that extending in the length direction (vertical direction) of the panty part 10 means that the first low-elasticity parts 40 extend in the length direction, and that the first low-elasticity parts 40 substantially extend in the length direction. Therefore, the first low-elasticity parts 40 may extend in a direction having a slight angle difference with respect to the length direction.

[0016] The second low-stretch section 50 is provided between the two first low-stretch sections 40 in the back section 10B of the panty section 10. The second low-stretch section 50 extends in the width direction (horizontal direction) of the panty section 10. In this embodiment, the second low-stretch section 50 connects the upper ends of the two first low-stretch sections 40 together. The second low-stretch section 50 is provided at a position above the position of the buttocks top 83A, which is the part of the buttocks 83 of the wearer that protrudes most toward the back side, in a side view when worn. It is preferable that the second low-stretch section 50 connects the two first low-stretch sections 40 together. This improves the effect of preventing slipping down by the first low-stretch section 40 and the second low-stretch section 50.

[0017] FIG. 4 is a side view showing an enlarged portion of the pantyhose 1 in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 4, the first low-stretch section 40 is disposed on both the left and right sides of the buttocks 83 along the side of the wearer's body. The second low-stretch section 50 is disposed above the buttocks 83 of the wearer. The first low-stretch section 40 and the second low-stretch section 50 are preferably connected to each other at an angle. By connecting the first low-stretch section 40 and the second low-stretch section 50 at an angle, the first low-stretch section 40 is suitably restricted from stretching in the width direction (left and right direction), and the second low-stretch section 50 is suitably restricted from stretching in the length direction (vertical direction). As a result, the stretching of the knitted fabric of the pantyhose 1 above the buttocks 83 and on both the left and right sides is suppressed, and thus the shifting of the pantyhose 1 is reduced.

[0018] If the connection between the first low-elasticity section 40 and the second low-elasticity section 50 is a rounded shape (e.g., a band shape stretching along the bulge of the buttocks 83), the slip-down suppression section may be applied to the fabric area around the buttocks top 83A (a certain area of ​​the back part 10B centered on the buttocks top 83A) where stretching should not be suppressed. In the fabric area around the buttocks top 83A, the fabric stretches more when the wearer sits down than in other areas of the panty part 10. For this reason, if the slip-down suppression section is applied to the above fabric area, the slip-down suppression section will also stretch with the stretch of the above fabric area when the wearer sits down, and the slip-down suppression effect of the slip-down suppression section will not be fully exerted.

[0019] Furthermore, when the width of the slip-down suppression portion is narrowed, even if the connection portion between the first low-elasticity portion 40 and the second low-elasticity portion 50 is rounded, the slip-down suppression portion is less likely to cover the fabric area. However, if the width of the slip-down suppression portion is narrowed too much, the effect of suppressing slip-down is not fully exhibited. Therefore, it is preferable that the first low-elasticity portion 40 and the second low-elasticity portion 50 are connected at an angle. This makes it easier to arrange the slip-down suppression portion so that it does not cover the fabric area, and the slip-down suppression portion can provide a sufficient slip-down suppression effect.

[0020] The first low-elasticity section 40 and the second low-elasticity section 50 are preferably connected to each other at an angle of 70° or more and 110° or less, and are particularly preferably connected to each other at an angle of approximately 90°.

[0021] When the first low-stretch part 40 is connected to the second low-stretch part 50 at an angle of less than 70°, the first low-stretch part 40 is inclined toward the back part 10B, and the lower end of the first low-stretch part 40 is located closer to the buttocks top 83A. Therefore, the first low-stretch part 40 may overlap the above-mentioned fabric area, and the slip-down suppression effect of the slip-down suppression part when the wearer sits down or the like is not fully exhibited. Also, when the first low-stretch part 40 is connected to the second low-stretch part 50 at an angle of less than 70°, the first low-stretch part 40 is significantly shifted from the both side parts 10C toward the back part 10B. Therefore, when the wearer sits down or the like, the fabric of the both side parts 10C stretches in the length direction, and the slip-down suppression effect of the slip-down suppression part is not fully exhibited.

[0022] On the other hand, if the first low stretch portion 40 is connected to the second low stretch portion 50 at an angle exceeding 110°, the first low stretch portion 40 will be tilted toward the front portion A, and will be positioned significantly shifted from the both side portions 10C toward the front portion 10A. As a result, when the wearer sits down or performs other actions, the fabric of the both side portions 10C will stretch in the length direction, and the slip-down prevention portion will not be able to fully suppress the slip-down.

[0023] Therefore, it is preferable that the first low stretch section 40 and the second low stretch section 50 are connected to each other at an angle of 70° or more and 110° or less. By having the first low stretch section 40 and the second low stretch section 50 form an angle as described above, stretching in the width direction and length direction is more suitably suppressed, and shifting of the pantyhose 1 is more suitably reduced.

[0024] Furthermore, because the first low stretch portion 40 and the second low stretch portion 50 are provided above and on both the left and right sides of the buttocks 83, the center of the buttocks 83 is not covered by the first low stretch portion 40 and the second low stretch portion 50. As a result, the stretch of the knitted fabric covering the center of the buttocks 83 is not hindered by the first low stretch portion 40 and the second low stretch portion 50, and any decrease in comfort of the pantyhose 1 can be suppressed.

[0025] Moreover, it is preferable that the first low stretch section 40 and the second low stretch section 50 have a substantially linear shape. This suppresses the degree of stretching of the first low stretch section 40, the second low stretch section 50, and the knitted fabric covering the abdominal side, even if pulled from the knitted fabric on the buttocks 83 side. The degree of suppression is greater than the degree of suppression in a configuration in which the first low stretch section 40 and the second low stretch section 50 have a non-linear shape, for example an arcuate shape, and can effectively reduce the slipping down of the pantyhose 1.

[0026] The first low-stretch section 40 and the second low-stretch section 50 may be knitted integrally with the panty section 10. Specifically, the first low-stretch section 40 and the second low-stretch section 50 may be formed by, for example, plating, tuck knitting, adjusting the stitch count, or selecting a yarn having low stretchability. The first low-stretch section 40 and the second low-stretch section 50 may be formed by attaching a low-stretch fabric or material to the panty section 10. Specifically, the first low-stretch section 40 and the second low-stretch section 50 may be formed by attaching a low-stretch fabric or material such as a power net. The configuration in which the first low-stretch section 40 and the second low-stretch section 50 are knitted integrally with the panty section 10 is preferable because it requires fewer steps in the manufacture of the pantyhose 1 than the configuration in which a low-stretch fabric or material is attached to the panty section 10.

[0027] In the pantyhose 1, the knit fabric of the panty portion 10 preferably has a certain degree of elasticity in order to follow the elasticity of the skin accompanying the wearer's sitting and standing movements. Therefore, the waist portion 20 preferably has lower elasticity than the panty portion 10. Also, in the pantyhose 1, in order to obtain a desired tensile force, it is preferable that the first low-stretch portion 40 and the second low-stretch portion 50 have lower elasticity than the waist portion 20. The elasticity of the first low-stretch portion 40 and the second low-stretch portion 50 may be the same or different, but it is preferable that they are the same.

[0028] The first low stretch section 40 and the second low stretch section 50 are preferably configured to have low stretchability throughout, rather than a configuration in which there is a portion that does not have low stretchability within the shape. If the first low stretch section 40 and the second low stretch section 50 have a portion that does not have low stretchability within the shape, it may be difficult for the first low stretch section 40 and the second low stretch section 50 to obtain the desired low stretchability. As an example, if the first low stretch section 40 has a so-called striped shape in which knitted fabrics having low stretchability and knitted fabrics having no low stretchability are alternately present, the first low stretch section 40 becomes more likely to stretch due to the portion of the knitted fabric that does not have low stretchability.

[0029] As a result, with the above configuration, it may be impossible to obtain the desired low stretchability in the first low stretch section 40 and the second low stretch section 50, or it may be necessary to form the first low stretch section 40 and the second low stretch section 50 excessively large in order to obtain the desired low stretchability. In contrast, if the first low stretch section 40 and the second low stretch section 50 are configured from a knitted fabric with low stretchability over the entire area, the desired low stretchability can be obtained with a minimum size.

[0030] Similarly, there are cases where the desired low elasticity cannot be obtained when a gap exists between the first low elasticity section 40 and the second low elasticity section 50. Therefore, it is preferable that the first low elasticity section 40 and the second low elasticity section 50 are connected, and that a part of the first low elasticity section 40 and an end of the second low elasticity section 50 are connected in series without any seams.

[0031] The lower end of the first low-elasticity portion 40 on the leg portion 30 side is preferably located at the connection portion between the panty portion 10 and the leg portion 30. The first low-elasticity portion 40 is preferably formed long in the length direction to obtain a desired tensile force, but if the first low-elasticity portion 40 is formed beyond the panty portion 10 to a part of the leg portion 30, a tensile force is generated from the leg portion 30 direction when the wearer sits down. In this case, the knitted fabric covering the buttocks 83 is pulled downward, so that it is likely to slip off. By positioning the lower end of the first low-elasticity portion 40 on the leg portion 30 side at the connection portion between the panty portion 10 and the leg portion 30, slipping off due to pulling downward is suppressed.

[0032] Incidentally, when the width P (length indicated by symbol P in FIG. 2) of the first low stretch portion 40 and the width Q (length indicated by symbol Q in FIG. 2) of the second low stretch portion 50 are narrowed, the stretching forces of the first low stretch portion 40 and the second low stretch portion 50 are reduced, so that a desired tensile force can be applied to the panty portion 10. Conversely, when the width P of the first low stretch portion 40 and the width Q of the second low stretch portion 50 are widened, the stretching forces of the first low stretch portion 40 and the second low stretch portion 50 are further improved, so that a desired tensile force can be applied to the panty portion 10.

[0033] However, if the width P of the first low-stretch part 40 and the width Q of the second low-stretch part 50 are less than 20 mm, when the stretch force of the second low-stretch part 50 is set to a level that provides a desired tensile force, the stretch force of the second low-stretch part 50 becomes excessively low, resulting in a poor wearing comfort. If the width P of the first low-stretch part 40 and the width Q of the second low-stretch part 50 are made greater than 50 mm, the first low-stretch part 40 and the second low-stretch part 50 reach the panty part 10, which needs to stretch in accordance with the movement of the wearer's skin, and the stretchability of the panty part 10 decreases, resulting in a poor wearing comfort. For this reason, in the pantyhose 1, it is preferable that the width P of the first low-stretch part 40 and the width Q of the second low-stretch part 50 are 20 mm or more and 50 mm or less, respectively.

[0034] It is preferable that the width P of the first low-stretch part 40 is larger (wider) than the width Q of the second low-stretch part 50. If the width Q of the second low-stretch part 50 is too wide, the second low-stretch part 50 may reach the area of ​​the panty part 10 that needs to be stretched (the area covering the buttocks 83). In this case, the knitted fabric of the panty part 10 is excessively pulled by the second low-stretch part 50, resulting in a poor wearing comfort. In addition, when the wearer sits down, the pantyhose 1 stretches the skin largely, particularly in the vertical direction. Therefore, it is preferable to ensure the stretchability of the panty part 10 in the length direction by making the width of the second low-stretch part 50 narrower than the width of the first low-stretch part 40.

[0035] <Effects of Pantyhose 1> Generally, when a wearer changes from a standing position to a sitting position, the skin around the buttocks 83 stretches significantly. Accordingly, in conventional pantyhose, the knitted fabric covering the buttocks 83 stretches significantly, especially in the length direction. If the stretching of the knitted fabric covering the buttocks 83 alone is not enough to keep up with the stretching of the skin of the buttocks 83, the entire panty part and waist part of the pantyhose are pulled toward the leg part. Therefore, in conventional pantyhose, when a wearer changes from a standing position to a sitting position, a downward tensile force is generated on the entire panty part and waist part. As a result, the knitted fabric of the panty part and waist part that should cover the wearer's abdomen 81 and crotch part 82 shifts downward.

[0036] Here, when the wearer sits down and then stands up again, the skin around the buttocks 83 contracts and returns to its original state, but the knitted fabric of the panty part and waist part that has been pulled downward may not return completely to its original wearing position. In this way, for example, the wearer's abdomen 81 may be misaligned with the part of the garment that covers the abdomen 81, or the wearer's crotch may be separated from the part of the garment that covers the crotch, creating a gap, and the pantyhose may slip down.

[0037] Here, the pantyhose 1 of this embodiment comprises a panty portion 10, a waist portion 20 provided at the opening of the panty portion 10, two first low-stretch portions 40 provided on both side portions 10C of the panty portion 10 and extending in the length direction of the panty portion 10, and a second low-stretch portion 50 provided on the back portion 10B of the panty portion 10, extending in the width direction of the panty portion above the position of the wearer's buttocks top 83A, and provided between the two first low-stretch portions 40.

[0038] With the above configuration, when the wearer sits or stands up, even if the portion covering the area where the skin stretches less is pulled toward the area around the buttocks 83 where the skin stretches more, the first low-elasticity portions 40 generate a pulling force from both side portions 10C of the buttocks 83. This suppresses the stretching of the fabric.

[0039] Even if the wearer sits down or stands up and stretches the skin, the knit of the pantyhose 1 is less likely to stretch downward because it is pulled upward by the second low-elasticity portion 50. Furthermore, when the wearer sits down, the second low-elasticity portion 50 is caught on the buttocks top 83A, which acts as a stopper for the second low-elasticity portion 50. Therefore, the second low-elasticity portion 50 is even less likely to stretch downward.

[0040] In addition, because an upward tensile force is generated by the second low-elasticity section 50, when the wearer sits down and then stands up, the fabric of the panty section 10 first stretches and then is pulled upward by the second low-elasticity section 50, making it easy for it to return to its original position.

[0041] As described above, by providing the pantyhose 1 with the first low-elasticity section 40 and the second low-elasticity section 50, the degree to which the pantyhose 1 slips down when the wearer sits down or stands up is reduced.

[0042] In addition, since the pantyhose 1 includes the first low-elasticity section 40 and the second low-elasticity section 50, there is no need to rely on tightening the waist area to prevent the pantyhose 1 from slipping down, as is done in conventional clothing. As a result, the pantyhose 1 reduces the deterioration of the wearing comfort caused by tightening the waist area 20.

[0043] In the above embodiment, the slip-down suppression section is described as having the first low-elasticity section 40 and the second low-elasticity section 50, but the pantyhose 1 according to the present embodiment is not limited to this configuration. For example, the slip-down suppression section may include a member having high friction or adhesive force instead of the first low-elasticity section 40 and the second low-elasticity section 50. Even when the slip-down suppression section has high friction or adhesive force, the slip-down suppression section suppresses excessive stretching of the fabric, thereby reducing the degree of slip-down of the pantyhose 1. The slip-down suppression section may have one of low elasticity, high friction, and adhesive force, or may have a combination of two or more of these characteristics.

[0044] There is no particular limitation on the method for producing the slippage prevention portion having high friction or adhesive force. For example, any method can be used, such as using a resin print having high friction or using a thread having high adhesive force.

[0045] In the above embodiment, an example in which the clothing according to one aspect of the present invention is applied to pantyhose 1 has been described. However, the clothing according to the present invention can be applied to clothing having a panty portion 10, such as tights, leggings, or stirrup, other than pantyhose. That is, in the clothing according to the present invention, the leg portion 30 may be configured to cover a portion of the foot portion 85, or may not cover the foot portion 85. Furthermore, the leg portion 30 is not limited to being configured to cover the entire leg portion 84, and may be configured to cover a portion of the leg portion 84.

[0046] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the claims. The technical scope of the present invention also includes embodiments obtained by appropriately combining the technical means disclosed in the embodiment. Furthermore, new technical features can be formed by combining the technical means disclosed in the embodiment. [Explanation of symbols]
