Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, when a disabled person with leg disabilities uses a wheelchair and uses a tray or the like, they take off the kimono once and put it on again after using the toilet or the like. However, such putting on and taking off is very cumbersome and improvement has been demanded.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a garment that can open at least the portion covering the buttocks.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the clothing according to the present invention is a piece of clothing having a waist covering part that covers the waist and a covering part that covers the lower side from the waist, and the covering part has an opening part that is open at a predetermined position on the rear side and covers at least the buttocks.

[0007] According to the present invention, since the covering part has an opening part that is open at a predetermined position on the rear side and covers at least the buttocks, it is possible to open the part that covers at least the buttocks. As a result, when a disabled person with leg disabilities using a wheelchair uses a tray or the like, instead of taking off the clothes once and putting them on again after using the toilet or the like, it is only necessary to open the rear side of the covering part, and the complexity of putting on and taking off can be reduced.

[0008] If the opening part is an opening where the part on the rear side that covers at least the buttocks opens, and at least the buttocks are configured to be exposed through the opening part, it is possible to wear the clothes in a state where at least the buttocks are exposed without being covered, and it is possible to wear the clothes with the user sitting on a wheelchair or the like without lifting the buttocks.

[0009] The opening part can be configured to open such that the upper end side opens upward and the lower end side opens so as to protrude downward.

[0010] If the range where the opening part is provided is from the waist to near the back of the knee of the lower limb part, it is possible to wear the clothes in a state where the back of the knee is exposed without being covered, and it is possible to surely wear the clothes with the user sitting.

[0011] If a member having elasticity is provided along the edge of the opening part, it is possible to pull the covering part on the lower side of the opening part toward the opening part by the member having elasticity.

[0012] If the member having elasticity is provided in a curved shape along the edge of the lower side of the opening part, it is possible to pull the covering part on the lower side of the opening part along the curved shape of the opening part by the member having elasticity.

[0013] If the covering part is provided with an opening / closing part that opens and closes the part from the lower end part of the opening to the lower end part of the covering part on the rear side, it is possible to wear while opening the part from the lower end part of the opening to the lower end part of the covering part.

[0014] If the lower end part on the rear side of the covering part is positioned above the lower end part on the front side, it is possible to reduce the damage to the appearance.

[0015] The covering part has a front body part on the front side. The front body part has a front side front body part on the front side and a back side front body part on the back side of the front side front body part. The front side front body part and the back side front body part are connected so as to overlap each other. The connection is made by connecting the right end side and the left end side at a predetermined position in at least the middle part in the vertical direction in the front side front body part and the back side front body part, and the part from the middle part in the vertical direction to the lower end part of the right end side and the left end side is made free and unconnected. In this way, while restricting the outward opening of the left and right lower limb parts, the lower side of the lower limb parts can be in a free state.

[0016] If the connection positions on the right end side and the left end side are different positions in the vertical direction, the state where the lower side of the lower limb parts opens outward can be made different positions on the left and right, and the fatigue feeling can be further reduced.

[0017] If either one of the connection positions on the right end side and the left end side is within a range of ±5 cm in the vertical direction with respect to the position of the lower end part of the opening, it is preferable because it can further restrict the outward opening of the left and right lower limb parts and reduce the fatigue feeling.

[0018] If either one of the connection positions on the right end side and the left end side is made to coincide with the position of the lower end part of the opening, it is more preferable because it can further restrict the outward opening of the left and right lower limb parts and reduce the fatigue feeling.

[0019] If a fixing member for fixing the lumbar top part to the lumbar part is provided and the fixing member is fixed by winding it around the lumbar part, it is possible to easily fix the lumbar top part to the lumbar part.

[0020] If the fixing member is curved in a winding shape and has both end parts that are spaced apart from each other, the fixing member can be inserted into the lumbar part from the both end parts that are spaced apart.

[0021] If the fixing member is biased in the inner direction that is the direction of tightening the lumbar part, the lumbar top part can be surely tightened to the lumbar part by the fixing member.

[0022] If the opening part is an opening / closing part that opens / closes at least the part covering the buttocks on the rear part side in an openable / closable manner, the rear part side of the covering part can be closed during normal times and the rear part side of the covering part can be opened as appropriate according to need, etc., and at least the buttocks can be opened without being always exposed.

[0023] The opening / closing part has a right-side opening / closing part that opens / closes the right side on the rear part side and a left-side opening / closing part that opens / closes the left side on the rear part side, and in the closed state, the edge side of the right-side opening / closing part and the edge side of the left-side opening / closing part are crossed so as to overlap each other to be closed so that at least the buttocks are not exposed from the opening / closing part. The edge side of the right-side opening / closing part and the edge side of the left-side opening / closing part project while curving outward from the bottom to the top, so that in the closed state, the edge side of the right-side opening / closing part and the edge side of the left-side opening / closing part can be overlapped so as to cross each other. Thereby, the overlapping part of the edge side of the right-side opening / closing part and the edge side of the left-side opening / closing part in the closed state can be gradually increased from the bottom to the top, and it is possible to surely prevent the buttocks from being exposed due to accidental opening in the closed state.

Effects of the Invention

[0024] As described above, according to the present invention, at least the part covering the buttocks can be opened.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0026] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing the configuration of a piece of clothing according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view showing the configuration of the covering portion of the piece of clothing, FIG. 3 is another front view showing the configuration of the covering portion, FIG. 4 is a rear view showing the configuration of the covering portion, FIG. 5 is another rear view showing the configuration of the covering portion, FIG. 6 is a development view showing the covering portion in a developed state, FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a state in which both side ends of the waistband portion of the covering portion are separated, and FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a fixing member inserted into the waistband portion of the covering portion. In the following description, the upper side of the human body A is taken as the upper direction, the lower side as the lower direction, the right side as the right direction (lateral direction), the left side as the left direction (lateral direction), the front side as the front direction, and the rear side as the rear direction, and each direction is clearly shown in the drawings.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, the piece of clothing 1 has a waistband portion 10 that covers the waist portion A1 of the human body A and a covering portion 20 that covers the lower side from the waist portion A1 of the human body A, more specifically, a covering portion 20 that covers the portion from the waist portion A1 to the lower limb portion A2. It can be mainly a piece of clothing 1 for a disabled person with a disability in the lower limb portion A2 who uses a wheelchair. The piece of clothing 1 can be a kimono, and the covering portion 20 can be the lower limb portion A2 side of the kimono. That is, the kimono can be a two-piece kimono having an upper garment 2, a sash 3, and a lower garment 20, and the covering portion 20 can be the lower garment 20 of the two-piece kimono (the lower limb portion A2 side of the two-piece kimono). The covering portion 20 can cover up to the lower end portion of the lower limb portion A2, that is, near the back of the lower limb portion A2.

[0028] The waistband portion 10 is provided at the edge portion 20a on the upper end portion side of the covering portion 20 and is an elongated bag-shaped body. That is, one of the both side ends 10a, 10b of the bag-shaped body of the waistband portion 10 is open and the other is closed, and a fixing member 11 (FIG. 8) for fixing the waistband portion 10 to the waist portion A1 can be inserted into the internal space of the bag-shaped body.

[0029] The waist covering part 10 can be fixed by inserting the fixing member 11 into the internal space of the bag-shaped body and winding it around the waist part A1. That is, the fixing member 11 is curved in a winding shape and has both end parts 11a, 11b that are spaced apart from each other, and is provided along the waist covering part 10. The fixing member 11 is in the shape of an elongated plate or rod and is biased like a leaf spring in the inner direction that is the direction of tightening the waist part A1.

[0030] That is, for the waist covering part 10, the user U can hold the end parts 11a, 11b of the fixing member 11 inserted from one of the both side end parts 10a, 10b of the bag-shaped body by hand and curve them in the direction in which the interval between the end parts 11a, 11b widens (outer direction) to separate them together with the both side end parts 10a, 10b of the bag-shaped body (Fig. 7). That is, the waist covering part 10 has a separation part 12 that is separated by a predetermined distance on the rear part side. Then, it is worn so as to be inserted into the waist part A1 through the separated both side end parts 10a, 10b, and in this worn state, when the user U releases the hand, the waist covering part 10 can be fixed so as to be wound around the waist part A1 with a predetermined biasing force.

[0031] The covering part 20 is provided with an opening part 21. That is, the covering part 20 has an opening part 21 that opens a part that is on the rear part side and covers at least the hip part A3 by a predetermined amount. More specifically, the covering part 20 has an opening part 21 that opens a part that is on the rear part side and covers the hip part A3 and the upper part side of the lower limb part A2 from the waist part A1 by a predetermined amount. Even more specifically, the opening part 21 is an opening part 21' where a part that is on the rear part side of the covering part 20 and covers at least the hip part A3 of the covering part 20 opens. Even more specifically, it is an opening part 21' that opens so that a part that covers the hip part A3 and the upper part side of the lower limb part A2 from the waist part A1 of the covering part 20 is missing. That is, the covering part 20 is configured such that at least the hip part A3, more specifically, the hip part A3 and the upper part side of the lower limb part A2 from the waist part A1 are exposed through the opening part 21'.

[0032] The opening 21' is configured such that the upper end 21a side opens upward through the separation part 12 of the waist part 10, and the lower end 21b side opens so as to protrude downward in a curved shape. More specifically, the curved shape is substantially U-shaped. The range from the waist part A1 where the opening 21' is provided to the upper part side of the lower limb part A2 can be, more specifically, the range from the waist part A1 to the vicinity of the back of the knee A4 of the lower limb part A2 (the rear part side of the covering part 20 that the opening 21' cuts off can be, more specifically, the part from the vicinity of the back of the knee A4 of the lower limb part A2 to the upper part side).

[0033] A member 22 having elasticity is provided along the edge 21c of the opening 21'. The elastic member 22 is provided only on the lower edge 21c of the opening 21'. That is, the elastic member 22 is provided in a curved shape along the lower edge 21c of the opening 21' so that the lower end 21b side protrudes. More specifically, the curved shape is substantially U-shaped. Therefore, the elastic member 22 can hold the part of the covering part 20 around the lower edge 21c of the lower side of the opening 21' by its elastic force so as to draw it in.

[0034] Wrinkles 22a are formed in the part of the covering part 20 around the lower edge 21c of the lower side of the opening 21' by being drawn in by the elastic member 22. The elastic member 22 can be, for example, a rubber material.

[0035] Also, the covering part 20 is provided with an opening / closing part 23 on the rear part side. That is, the opening / closing part 23 can open and close the part from the edge 21c of the lower end 21b side that protrudes in a U-shape of the opening 21' on the rear part side to the edge 20b2 of the lower end side of the covering part 20.

[0036] The opening / closing part 23 has a plurality of predetermined engaging members 24. By engaging or disengaging the engaging members 24, the opening and closing of the lower part on the rear part side of the covering part 20 can be performed. The plurality of predetermined engaging members 24 can be, for example, male and female snap buttons.

[0037] The covering portion 20 is held so that the edge 20b2 on the lower end side of the rear portion is drawn by the action of the member 22 having the above-described elasticity. Therefore, the edge 20b2 on the lower end side of the rear portion can be pulled up and positioned above the edge 20b1 on the lower end side of the front portion.

[0038] Also, the covering portion 20 is held so that the lower side and the side portions are drawn in as a whole by the action of the member 22 having the above-described elasticity. Therefore, the lower side and the side portions of the covering portion 20 are pulled inward. As a result, the covering portion 20 can be configured such that the width dimension gradually decreases from the upper side to the lower side so that the lower side is narrowed.

[0039] Here, more specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the covering portion 20 has a front body portion 20A on the front side and a rear body portion 20B on the rear side. Further, the front body portion 20A has a front surface front body portion 20A1 on the front side and a back surface front body portion 20A2 on the back side of the front surface front body portion 20A1.

[0040] The front surface front body portion 20A1 has a shape in which a triangular shape is cut off from the middle portion in the vertical direction to the lower side from the edge 20A1´´ side on the left end side of the rectangular shape, and is configured such that the width dimension gradually decreases from the middle portion in the vertical direction to the lower side. On the back side of the lower side of the edge 20A1´ on the right end side in the front surface front body portion 20A1, there is a region 25 where a pattern and / or coloring is applied in a band shape. Therefore, even when the back side of the lower side of the edge 20A1´ on the right end side is wrinkled, it is possible to reduce the damage to the aesthetic appearance. Note that the upper end side edge 25´ of the region 25 where the pattern and / or coloring is applied in a band shape can be curved, and the curved shape can be an arc shape protruding upward.

[0041] The inner front body part 20A2 is shaped such that it is cut out in a triangular shape from the vertical middle part to the lower part on the side of the edge 20A2' on the right end side of the rectangular shape and from the vertical middle part to the lower part on the side of the edge 20A2'' on the left end side of the rectangular shape, and is symmetric about the left and right. The inner front body part 20A2 is configured such that the width dimension gradually decreases from the vertical middle part to the lower part.

[0042] The inner front body part 20A2 has the same shape as the edge 20A1'' side on the left end side of the front body part 20A1 on the front side at the edge 20A2'' side on the left end side. Also, the inner front body part 20A2 is set to have a larger width dimension than the front body part 20A1 on the front side.

[0043] Therefore, when the front body part 20A1 on the front side and the inner front body part 20A2 are overlapped with the edges 20A1'', 20A2'' on the left end side being aligned, the edge 20A2' side on the right end side of the inner front body part 20A2 can be configured to protrude and be exposed by a predetermined amount from the edge 20A1' side on the right end side of the front body part 20A1 on the front side.

[0044] The back body part 20B has a right back body part 20B1 on the right side and a left back body part 20B2 on the left side. The right back body part 20B1 and the left back body part 20B2 are symmetric about the left and right, and both have the same shape as the front body part 20A1 on the front side.

[0045] That is, the right back body part 20B1 and the left back body part 20B2 are shaped such that they are cut out in a triangular shape from the vertical middle part to the lower part on the side of the edge 20B1' on the right end side of the rectangular shape or from the vertical middle part to the lower part on the side of the edge 20B2'' on the left end side of the rectangular shape. The right back body part 20B1 and the left back body part 20B2 are further shaped such that they are cut out in a J shape from the upper part on the side opposite to the side cut out in a triangular shape of the rectangular shape, that is, from the upper part on the side of the edge 20B1'' on the left end side to the vertical middle part side or from the upper part on the side of the edge 20B2' on the right end side to the vertical middle part side.

[0046] That is, from the upper side to the middle part in the vertical direction on the side of the edge 20B1'' on the left end side of the right rear body part 20B1, a right opening 21A which is one side of the opening 21' is provided. From the upper side to the middle part in the vertical direction on the side of the edge 20B2'' on the left end side of the left rear body part 20B2, a left opening 21B which is the other side of the opening 21A is provided. Further, on the lower side of the edge 20B1'' on the left end side of the right rear body part 20B1, a right opening and closing part 23A which is the right side of the opening and closing part 23 is provided. On the lower side of the edge 20B2'' on the left end side of the left rear body part 20B2, a left opening and closing part 23B which is the left side of the opening and closing part 23 is provided. The above-described engaging member 24 is provided on the right opening and closing part 23A and the left opening and closing part 23B. For example, a female snap button is provided on either one of the right opening and closing part 23A and the left opening and closing part 23B, and a male snap button is provided on the other one of the right opening and closing part 23A and the left opening and closing part 23B.

[0047] The covering part 20 can be formed as follows by connecting the front body part 20A1 on the front side, the front body part 20A2 on the back side, the right rear body part 20B1, and the left rear body part 20B2 configured as described above.

[0048] That is, as shown in FIG. 10, first, the edge 20A2' side on the right end side of the front body part 20A2 on the back side and the edge 20B1' side on the right end side of the right rear body part 20B1 are connected by sewing or the like to form a right body part 20α. Next, as also shown in FIG. 10, the edge 20A1'' side on the left end side of the front body part 20A1 on the front side and the edge 20B2'' side on the left end side of the left rear body part 20B2 are connected by sewing or the like to form a left body part 20β. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 11, the right body part 20α and the left body part 20β are connected by sewing or the like so as to overlap while aligning the edges 20A1'', 20A2'' on the left end side of the front body part 20A1 on the front side and the front body part 20A2 on the back side. Thereby, the covering part 20 becomes a single body part.

[0049] That is, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 12, the clothing 1 having the covering portion 20 formed in this way is wrapped around from the side so as to cover the portion from the waist portion A1 to the lower limb portion A2 of the human body A while separating both end portions 10a and 10b of the waist top portion 10, and as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the right opening / closing portion 23A and the left opening / closing portion 23B are engaged via the engaging member 24 and closed, whereby it can be worn on the human body A. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, it can be worn in a state of being exposed without covering the range from the waist portion A1 to the vicinity of the back of the knee A4 of the lower limb portion A2 on the rear side.

[0050] Here, the connection between the right body side portion 20α and the left body side portion 20β in the covering portion 20 is performed by connecting the edge portions 20A1', 20A2' on the right end side and the edge portions 20A1'', 20A2'' on the left end side at predetermined positions X1 and X2 in at least the middle portion in the vertical direction in the front body side portion 20A1 on the front side and the rear body side portion 20A2 on the back side (the "connection at predetermined positions X1 and X2 in at least the middle portion in the vertical direction" includes both the case of connecting only at positions X1 and X2 and making the upper sides of the edge portions 20A1', 20A2' on the right end side and the edge portions 20A1'', 20A2'' on the left end side free and unconnected, and the case of connecting the edge portions 20A1', 20A2' on the right end side and the edge portions 20A1'', 20A2'' on the left end side from the upper side to the middle portion as will be described in detail below). And this connection is made in a free state where the front body side portion 20A1 on the front side and the rear body side portion 20A2 on the back side are unconnected from the middle portion in the vertical direction to the lower end portion of the edge portions 20A1', 20A2' on the right end side and the edge portions 20A1'', 20A2'' on the left end side.

[0051] More specifically, the connection between the right side body part 20α and the left side body part 20β in the covering part 20 is achieved by sewing and fixing the edge parts 20A1´, 20A2´ on the right end side and the edge parts 20A1´´, 20A2´´ on the left end side in the front body part 20A1 on the front side and the rear body part 20A2 on the back side from the upper side to the middle part in the vertical direction. The parts from the middle part to the lower end in the vertical direction of the edge parts 20A1´, 20A2´ on the right end side and the edge parts 20A1´´, 20A2´´ on the left end side are in a free state without connection. The positions X1 of the lower connection end parts of the edge parts 20A1´, 20A2´ on the right end side and the positions X2 of the lower connection end parts of the edge parts 20A1´´, 20A2´´ on the left end side are different in the vertical direction. More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 10, 11, and 14, the position X2 of the lower connection end part of the edge parts 20A1´´, 20A2´´ on the left end side is located below the position X1 of the lower connection end part of the edge parts 20A1´, 20A2´ on the right end side.

[0052] And the position X1 of the lower connection end part of the edge parts 20A1´, 20A2´ on the right end side is within a range of ±5 cm in the vertical direction with respect to the position of the lower end part 21b of the opening 21´. More specifically, the position X1 of the lower connection end part of the edge parts 20A1´, 20A2´ on the right end side is made to coincide with the position of the lower end part 21b of the opening 21´.

[0053] As described above, in the present embodiment, since the covering part 20 has the opening part 21 that opens a part covering at least the buttocks A3 on the rear side in a predetermined manner, more specifically, since it has the opening part 21 that opens a part covering the waist A1 to the buttocks A3 and the upper part of the lower limb part A2 on the rear side in a predetermined manner, it is possible to open a part covering at least the buttocks A3. More specifically, it is possible to open a part covering the waist A1 to the buttocks A3 and the upper part of the lower limb part A2. Thereby, when a disabled person with leg disabilities uses a wheelchair and uses a tray or the like, they do not need to take off their clothes once and put them on again after using the toilet or the like. They only need to open the rear side of the covering part 20, and the complexity of putting on and taking off can be reduced.

[0054] The open part 20 is configured as an opening 21' that opens at the rear side and covers at least the buttocks A3, and at least the buttocks A3 is exposed through the opening 21'. More specifically, the part that covers the buttocks A3 and the upper side of the lower limb part A2 from the waist A1 at the rear side is exposed through the opening 21'. Therefore, it can be worn in a state where at least the buttocks A3 is exposed without being covered. More specifically, it can be worn in a state where the part from the waist A1 to the upper side of the buttocks A3 and the lower limb part A2 is exposed without being covered, and the user can wear it while sitting on a wheelchair or the like without floating the buttocks A3. Also, when the user U uses the toilet, it can be used while being worn.

[0055] The range where the opening 21' is provided is set to the range from the waist A1 to the vicinity of the back of the knee A4 of the lower limb part A2. Therefore, it can be worn in a state where the back of the knee A4 is exposed without being covered, and it is possible to surely wear it while the user is sitting.

[0056] A member 22 having elasticity is provided along the edge 21c of the opening 21'. Therefore, the covering part 20 below the opening 21' can be pulled toward the opening 21' side by the elastic member 22. For example, it is possible to reduce the situation where the covering part 20 below the opening 21' hangs downward and spoils the appearance. In this embodiment, a plurality of engaging members 24 are provided on the opening / closing part 23 below the opening 21'. Therefore, the above-mentioned effect of preventing the hanging downward by providing the elastic member 22 is great.

[0057] Since the elastic member 22 is provided in a curved shape along the lower edge 21c of the opening 21', the elastic member 22 can pull the covering portion 20 below the opening 21' along the curved shape of the opening 21'. As a result, it is possible to reduce the downward sagging of the covering portion 20 below the opening 21', and the covering portion 20 can be configured such that the lower side is narrowed.

[0058] Since the covering portion 20 is provided with an opening / closing portion 23 that opens and closes a portion from the lower end portion 21b of the opening 21' to the lower end portion 20b of the covering portion 20 on the rear side, it is possible to wear while opening the portion from the lower end portion 21b of the opening 21' to the lower end portion 20b of the covering portion 20, and it is possible to wear so as to cover from the side while the feet are on the floor or the ground, improving convenience.

[0059] If the lower end portion 20b2 on the rear side of the covering portion 20 is positioned above the lower end portion 20b1 on the front side, it is possible to reduce the impairment of the appearance.

[0060] The covering portion 20 has a front body portion 20A on the front side. The front body portion 20A has a front side front body portion 20A1 on the front side and a back side front body portion 20A2 on the back side of the front side front body portion 20A1. The front side front body portion 20A1 and the back side front body portion 20A2 are connected so as to overlap each other. The connection is made by connecting at least the right side edge portions 20A1', 20A2' and the left side edge portions 20A1'', 20A2'' at predetermined positions X1, X2 in the middle portion in the vertical direction in the front side front body portion 20A1 and the back side front body portion 20A2. Also, from the middle portion in the vertical direction of the right side edge portions 20A1', 20A2' and the left side edge portions 20A1'', 20A2'' to the lower end portion 20b, it is made non-connected and in a free state. Therefore, while restricting the outward opening of the left and right lower limb portions A2, the lower side of the lower limb portion A2 can be in a free state, and in particular, for disabled persons with foot disabilities, it is possible to reduce the fatigue feeling in a state of sitting for a long time.

[0061] Since the connection positions of the edges 20A1', 20A2' on the right end side and the connection positions of the edges 20A1'', 20A2'' on the left end side are set to be different in the vertical direction, the lower sides of the lower limb parts A2 can be in different positions in the left - right direction when they open outward, and the fatigue feeling can be further reduced. Since either one of the connection positions of the edges 20A1', 20A2' on the right end side and the connection positions of the edges 20A1'', 20A2'' on the left end side is set to be within a range of ±5 cm in the vertical direction with respect to the position of the lower end 21b of the opening 21', it is possible to further reduce the fatigue feeling while restricting the outward opening of the left - right lower limb parts A2.

[0062] Since either one of the connection positions of the edges 20A1', 20A2' on the right end side and the connection positions of the edges 20A1'', 20A2'' on the left end side is set to coincide with the position of the lower end 21b of the opening 21', it is possible to further reduce the fatigue feeling while restricting the outward opening of the left - right lower limb parts A2.

[0063] Furthermore, a fixing member 11 for fixing the lumbar support part 10 to the lumbar part A1 is inserted and provided. Since the fixing member 11 is fixed by winding around the lumbar part A1 while being inserted into the lumbar support part 10, it is possible to easily fix the lumbar support part 10 to the lumbar part A1.

[0064] Also, the fixing member 11 is curved in a winding shape and has both ends 11a, 11b that are spaced apart from each other. Since it is provided along the lumbar support part 10, the fixing member 11 can be inserted into the lumbar part A1 from both ends 11a, 11b that are spaced apart.

[0065] Furthermore, since the fixing member 11 is biased in the inner direction which is the direction of tightening the lumbar part, the fixing member 11 can firmly tighten the lumbar support part 10 to the lumbar part A1.

[0066] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above - described embodiments, and it goes without saying that various modifications and applications can be made within the scope of the invention described in the claims.

[0067] For example, in the above-described embodiment, the garment 1 is a two-piece kimono, and the covering portion 20 is the lower garment side (lower limb portion A2 side) of the two-piece kimono. However, it is not limited to such a kimono. For example, a garment 1 having a covering portion 20 (covered portion) that covers the portion from the waist A1 to the lower limb portion A2 of the human body A, such as a one-piece long undergarment or a skirt, is also included. However, considering functionality and the like, it is a more preferable embodiment that the garment 1 is a two-piece kimono and the covering portion 20 is the lower garment side (lower limb portion A2 side) of the two-piece kimono.

[0068] Also, in the above-described embodiment, the opening / closing portion 23 is a snap button for opening and closing by engaging or disengaging. However, it is not limited to such an engaging member 24. As long as it can open and close the opening / closing portion 23, it includes other buttons, hook-and-loop fasteners, zippers, and other members. However, considering the ease and certainty of opening and closing, it is a more preferable embodiment that the opening / closing member 23 is a snap button.

[0069] Furthermore, like the garment 1' of the modified example shown in FIGS. 15 to 19, the opening portion 20 may be configured differently from the above-described opening 21 (in the following description, for the configurations described above and not described below, the description may be omitted assuming they are the same as above).

[0070] That is, in the modified example of the garment 1', the above-described opening / closing portion 23 is designated as the first opening / closing portion 23, the right-side opening / closing portion 23A is designated as the first right-side opening / closing portion 23A, and the left-side opening / closing portion 23B is designated as the first left-side opening / closing portion 23B. At the same time, the opening portion 20 can be a second opening / closing portion 21'' that opens and closes a portion on the rear side that at least covers the buttocks A3. More specifically, the opening portion 20 can be a second opening / closing portion 21'' that opens and closes a portion at the central portion on the rear side that covers the buttocks A3 and the upper side of the lower limb portion A2 from the waist A1. In this modified example, the first opening / closing portion 23 can open and close a portion on the rear side from the edge portion 21c on the lower end portion 21b side of the second opening / closing portion 21'' to the edge portion 20b2 on the lower end portion side of the covering portion 20.

[0071] That is, the second opening / closing portion 21'' has a second right-side opening / closing portion 21A'' that opens and closes the right side on the rear side of the covering portion 20 and a second left-side opening / closing portion 21B'' that opens and closes the left side on the rear side of the covering portion 20. In the closed state, the edge portion 21A1'' side on the central portion side of the second right-side opening / closing portion 21A'' and the edge portion 21B1'' side on the central portion side of the second left-side opening / closing portion 21B'' are crossed and closed so that they overlap each other, and at least the buttocks A3, more specifically, the upper side of the buttocks A3 and the lower limb portion A2 from the waist A1 are configured not to be exposed from the second opening / closing portion 21'. The edge portion 21A1'' side on the central portion side of the second right-side opening / closing portion 21A'' and the edge portion 21B1'' side on the central portion side of the second left-side opening / closing portion 21B'' can project while curving outward from the bottom to the top.

[0072] And the garment 1' is provided with a fixing member 11' for fixing the waist top portion 10 to the waist A1. The fixing member 11' is fixed by winding it around the waist A1, and the edge portion 21A1'' side on the central portion side of the second right-side opening / closing portion 21A'' and the edge portion 21B1'' side on the central portion side of the second left-side opening / closing portion 21B'' can be crossed and closed so that they overlap each other.

[0073] This fixing member 11' has a string-like first fixing member 11A' and a second fixing member 11B' extending from both end portions 10a, 10b of the waist top portion 10. The first fixing member 11A' and the second fixing member 11B' have engaging portions 12' engaging with each other on the end portion sides. By engaging the engaging portions 12' with each other, the first fixing member 11A' and the second fixing member 11B' are engaged to fix the waist top portion 10 to the waist portion A1, and the edge portion 21A1'' side on the central portion side of the second right opening / closing portion 21A'' and the edge portion 21B1'' side on the central portion side of the second left opening / closing portion 21B'' can be crossed and closed so as to overlap each other. The first fixing member 11A' extends leftward from the right end portion 10a of the waist top portion 10 on the rear side, and the second fixing member 11B' extends rightward from the left end portion 10b of the waist top portion 10 on the rear side. The end portion side of the first fixing member 11A' reaches so as to turn from the left side to the front side on the rear side along the waist portion A1 of the human body A, and the end portion side of the second fixing member 11B' reaches so as to turn from the right side to the front side on the rear side along the waist portion A1 of the human body A. The first fixing member 11A' and the second fixing member 11B' are engaged in front via the engaging portion 12'. The engaging portion 12' can be constituted by a hook-and-loop fastener.

[0074] In the garment 1' according to the modification, the opening portion 21 is a second opening / closing portion 21'' that opens the portion on the rear side that at least covers the buttocks A3 in an openable manner. More specifically, it is a second opening / closing portion 21'' that opens the portion on the rear side that covers the waist portion A1, the buttocks A3, and the upper side of the lower limb portion A2 in an openable manner. Therefore, in normal times, the rear side of the covering portion 20 is closed, and the rear side of the covering portion 20 can be opened as appropriate when necessary. That is, at least the buttocks A3, and more specifically, the waist portion A1, the buttocks A3, and the upper side of the lower limb portion A2 can be opened without being constantly exposed.

[0075] Also, the edge 21A1'' side of the second right opening / closing part 21A'' and the edge 21B1'' side of the second left opening / closing part 21B'' project while curving outward from bottom to top, so that in the closed state, the edge 21A1'' side of the second right opening / closing part 21A'' and the edge 21B1'' side of the second left opening / closing part 21B'' can overlap each other in a crossed manner. Thereby, in the closed state, the overlapping part Y (the hatched part in FIG. 19) between the edge 21A1'' side of the second right opening / closing part 21A'' and the edge 21B1'' side of the second left opening / closing part 21B'' can be gradually enlarged from bottom to top, and it is possible to surely prevent the hip A3 from being exposed due to accidental opening in the closed state.
