Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to bottom clothing that can support the wearer's pelvis at an appropriate position without burdening the human body.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, girdle-type bottom clothing for supporting the pelvis has been made by overlapping a stretchy stretch fabric with a stretch material having the same or higher stretchability to tighten the area around the wearer's pelvis more strongly (see Patent Document 1). Bottom clothing of this strongly tightening type exhibits a strong effect of correcting the tilt of the pelvis and enhancing the hips.

[0003] However, bottom clothing that tightens the body too much not only leaves linear marks on the wearer's skin but also inhibits blood flow and burdens the human body when worn for a long time. In particular, it was unsuitable for wearing such bottom clothing during exercise.

[0004] On the other hand, when trying to lift the weakened pelvic floor muscle group using bottom clothing that does not strongly tighten the area around the pelvis, there is a risk that the tightening around the pelvis may become weak or the tightening position may shift. The phenomenon of pelvic internal organs dropping without being supported by the pelvic floor muscle group is caused by pelvic looseness, so it is necessary to lift the pelvic floor muscle group while moderately tightening the area around the pelvis.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] However, the girdle described in Patent Document 2 not only has a complicated structure because it uses stretch tapes, fasteners, etc., but also the correction cloth 23 formed of a belt-shaped, highly stretchable power net tightens the waist and hips, strongly tightening around the pelvis while lifting the pelvic floor muscle group.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a bottom garment that can guide the pelvis to a correct inclination by tightening the pelvis with an appropriate wearing pressure so as not to inhibit blood flow even when worn for a long time, and can support the pelvis at an appropriate position while lifting the pelvic floor muscle group.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0028] A detailed embodiment of the bottom clothing according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0029] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bottom clothing 1 includes a bottom body 10, a horizontally long first support portion 20 disposed on the front side (outer side) of the bottom body 10, and a vertically long second support portion 30 disposed on the front side (outer side) of the bottom body 10.

[0030] The bottom body 10 has a front body covering the front side (abdomen side) of the wearer's body during wearing (FIG. 1) and a back body covering the back side (hip side) of the wearer's body (FIG. 2). A waist circumference opening 101a and a pair of left and right leg circumference openings 102a, 102b are formed, covering each part from the wearer's waist to the crotch and the upper parts of the left and right thighs, and having a pant-like shape that fits the body. The bottom body 10 is divided into an annular upper part 101 covering the upper part of the abdomen and the upper part of the hip from the wearer's waist (waist part) during wearing, and a lower part 102 located below the upper part 101 and covering the lower abdomen, crotch, and upper part of the thigh of the wearer. The lower part 102 is further divided into a lower right part and a lower left part divided left and right along the crotch. The lower right part has a right leg circumference opening 102a, and the lower left part has a left leg circumference opening 102b. The upper part 101 is sewn at the central part of the back body, the lower part 102 is sewn at the central parts of the front body and the back body, and the lower edge of the upper part 101 and the upper edge of the lower part 102 are sewn. Note that the bottom body 10 may not be divided into the upper part 101 and the lower part 102.

[0031] The bottom body 10 is made of a knitted or woven fabric having stretchability in two different directions. For example, two-way stretch ricot, plain knitting, satin net, frise knitting, smooth knitting, spandex, etc. can be used. The bottom body 10 is preferably arranged to stretch more in the body height direction Y (vertical direction) than in the body width direction X (left and right direction).

[0032] Terms indicating directions including up, down, left, right, front, and back are based on the directions as seen from the wearer when worn. Also, it does not mean that each of the front body and the back body is formed of a single piece of fabric.

[0033] The first support part 20 is made of a member different from the bottom body 10, is long in the lateral direction (left - right direction), and is generally formed of a strip - shaped knitted fabric. It is disposed overlapping the surface side of the bottom body 10, and the entire peripheral edge thereof is sewn to the bottom body 10. Note that L1, L2a, and L2b in FIGS. 1 and 2 indicate the sewn seam lines. At this time, the region surrounded by the peripheral edge in the first support part 20 and the bottom body 10 overlapping this region are not sewn to each other. The first support part 20 may be disposed to surround the pelvis in the circumferential direction so as to return from the central part on the back - body side of the bottom body 10, via the front - body, to the central part on the back - body side of the bottom body 10. Also, the region disposed on the front - body side of the bottom body 10 and the region disposed on the back - body side of the bottom body 10 may be composed of separate parts. At this time, the bottom body 10 is divided into an upper part 101 and a lower part 102 along the lower edge part of the peripheral edge of the first support part 20 so that the first support part 20 is disposed on the bottom body 10, and the lower edge part of the upper part 101 and the upper edge part of the lower part 102 are sewn together with the lower edge part of the first support part 20 (the seam lines are L2a and L2b).

[0034] The first support part 20 has a front body center region 20a that is horizontally long and substantially rectangular in shape in the region that is sewn to the front body of the bottom body 10 (the region located on the front side of the wearer's body when worn), a front body inclined region 20b that inclines obliquely upward from the front body center region 20a, and in the region that is sewn to the back body (the region located on the back side of the wearer's body when worn), it has a back body curved region 20d that curves with the central part in the body width direction X (hereinafter referred to as "back body center region 20c") as the top, and these are continuously formed. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, this corresponds to the position of the wearer's pelvis and is configured to surround each part constituting the upper pelvis of the wearer's pubis B1, ilium B3, and sacrum B4 when worn. More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the first support part 20 covers the left and right pubises B1, B1 centered on the pubic symphysis PS of the wearer, with the upper edge avoiding the left and right anterior superior iliac spines B5, B5, the lower edge covering the vicinity of the upper part of the left and right greater trochanters B2, B2, covering the central part of the left and right iliums B3, B3 obliquely upward, and covering the upper part of the sacrum B4. In this way, the first support part 20 is formed in a substantially belt shape, and has a front body center region 20a that covers the left and right pubises B1, B1 of the wearer when worn, a pair of front body inclined regions 20b that cover the roots of the left and right thighs curved obliquely upward from the front body center region 20a, a pair of back body curved regions 20d that curve obliquely upward in an arc from the front body inclined region 20b to the central part of the back body and cover the ilium B3, and a back body center region 20c that covers the upper part of the sacrum B4 at the central part of the back body. The dashed-dotted lines shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 respectively represent the boundary lines of these regions.

[0035] The length of the first support part 20 in the body length direction Y (the width in the up-and-down direction) is preferably about 4 to 8 cm. If the length in the body length direction Y is shortened (narrowed), not only may the tightening act strongly and leave linear marks on the skin of the wearer, thus impairing comfort, but it may also become a factor inhibiting blood flow. On the other hand, if the length in the body length direction Y is lengthened (widened), it will pass through the pelvic region where pressure should not be applied, and it will be impossible to guide the pelvis to the correct inclination. However, it is desirable that the length of the front body inclined region 20b in the first support part 20 is shorter (narrower) than other regions, and the length of the front body inclined region 20b in the body length direction Y is preferably about 2 to 6 cm. Therefore, the upper edge of the front body inclined region 20b is shaped like an arc, and the lower edge is shaped like an S. Since the vicinity of the hip joint repeats flexion and extension in conjunction with the movement of the lower limb, by making it narrower than the width of other regions, it is possible to prevent the up-and-down movement of the lower limb.

[0036] The first support part 20 is made of a knitted fabric that is non-stretchable or hardly stretchable (the property of not stretching or hardly stretching) in one direction and stretchable in the other direction orthogonal to this one direction. For example, the first support part 20 can use a knitted fabric that stretches in the wale direction but does not stretch or hardly stretches in the course direction (for example, one-way power net, one-way tricot, etc.). Note that the knitted fabric may be a weft-knitted fabric or a warp-knitted fabric.

[0037] Then, the first support part 20 is overlapped and arranged on the front body side of the bottom body 10 so that the non-stretchable or hardly stretchable direction faces the body length direction Y, and on the back body side of the bottom body 10, it is overlapped and arranged so that the non-stretchable or hardly stretchable direction faces the body length direction Y or the bias direction (a direction linearly inclined obliquely downward from above toward the body width direction). Hereinafter, the case where a knitted fabric that stretches in the wale direction but does not stretch or hardly stretches in the course direction is used for the first support part 20 will be described.

[0038] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the first support portion 20 is arranged on the front body side of the bottom body 10 such that the course direction (the direction indicated by the dotted line) faces the body height direction Y (FIG. 5), and on the back body side of the bottom body 10, the course direction is also arranged to face the body height direction Y (FIG. 6). Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the first support portion 20 is arranged on the front body surface side of the bottom body 10 such that the course direction faces the body height direction Y (FIG. 5), and on the back body surface side of the bottom body 10, the course direction may be arranged to face the bias direction (FIG. 7). The bias direction preferably slopes downward to the right or left in the body width direction symmetrically with respect to the central portion in the body width direction from the upper edge portion to the lower edge portion of the first support portion 20. The inclination angle does not have to be 45 degrees. In FIGS. 5 to 7, the dotted line indicates the non-stretchable or hardly stretchable direction (course direction).

[0039] In this way, the bottom garment 1 uses the first support portion 20 having a stretchability lower than that of the bottom body 10, and by arranging the direction with low stretchability in the first support portion 20 toward the body height direction Y or the bias direction, while ensuring the extension in the body width direction X at the location where the bottom body 10 and the first support portion 20 overlap, the extension in the body height direction Y is suppressed. When the wearer wears this bottom garment 1, the bottom body 10 extends in the body width direction X and the body height direction Y respectively until it fits the wearer's body. At that time, the region where the bottom body 10 and the first support portion 20 overlap extends following the bottom body 10 in the body width direction X, but the extension in the body height direction Y is suppressed, so that pressure is applied to the inner side of the wearer's body, and a force for pressing each part constituting the wearer's pelvis acts. In this way, pressure is applied around the pelvis in the region where the first support portion 20 and the bottom body 10 overlap, and pressure can be applied to the pubis, ilium, and sacrum of the wearer, making it possible to effectively support the pelvis.

[0040] Here, as shown in FIG. 6, if the first support portion 20 is arranged on the back side of the bottom body 10 in the same manner as on the front side such that the course direction faces the body height direction Y, the same pressing force as on the front side acts on the back side of the wearer's body. However, on the back side of the bottom body 10, due to the swelling of the buttocks, a greater force acts on the back side of the wearer's torso than on the front side, so greater pressure is applied to the back side of the wearer's torso. This is particularly effective for wearers who visually want to appear to have a so-called small buttocks.

[0041] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, if the first support portion 20 is arranged on the back side of the bottom body 10 with the course direction facing the bias direction, compared to when it is arranged with the course direction facing the body height direction Y, since it stretches in response to the swelling of the wearer's buttocks, the force acting inward on the back side of the wearer's body is weakened. As a result, it becomes possible to apply pressure almost evenly to the front and back sides of the wearer's torso. As a result, if the first support portion 20 arranged in this way is wound around the pelvis, appropriate pressure can be applied to the pubis, ilium, and sacrum respectively, and it becomes possible to effectively support the pelvis.

[0042] Note that it is preferable that the fabric direction (for example, the course direction) of the first support portion 20 is oriented in the bias direction such that the fabric of the back side of the upper part 101 of the bottom body 10 is oriented in the bias direction and is parallel to the fabric direction of this bottom body 10. By arranging the bottom body 10 and the first support portion 20 in this way, the curved region 20d on the back side of the first support portion 20 may curve downward while curving in the body width direction X (left - right direction) from the central region 20c on the back side, and since the stretchability in the body width direction X is ensured, the difficulty in wearing during use is eliminated.

[0043] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the second support portion 30 is made of a member different from the bottom body 10 and the first support portion 20, has a substantially vertically long rectangular shape with one or both ends in the longitudinal direction widened, and the longitudinal direction is oriented in the body height direction Y. It is arranged on the front surface side of the bottom body 10 so as to cover the crotch portion and a part of the buttocks of the wearer when worn, along the central portion in the body width direction X of the bottom body 10, in a state of being folded back from the front body side to the back body side of the bottom body 10. And one end (the upper side of the substantially rectangular shape) of the second support portion 30 is sewn together with the bottom body 10 along the lower edge of the first support portion 20 (the front body central region 20a) arranged on the front body side of the bottom body 10, and the other end (the lower side of the substantially rectangular shape) is sewn together with the bottom body 10 along the lower edge of the first support portion 20 (mainly the back body central region 20c) arranged on the back body side of the bottom body 10. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the sewing line L1 indicates the sewing line where the bottom body 10 and the first support portion 20 are sewn at the upper edge of the first support portion 20, the sewing line L2a indicates the sewing line where the bottom body 10 and the first support portion 20 are sewn at the lower edge of the first support portion 20, and the sewing line L2b indicates the sewing line where the bottom body 10, the second support portion 30, and the first support portion 20 are sewn at the lower edge of the first support portion 20.

[0044] Neither of the two longitudinal sides (301a and 302a) of the second support portion 30 is sewn to the bottom body 10, and it is in a state of hanging downward below the crotch portion. At this time, the position 30t where the second support portion 30 is folded back from the front body side to the back body side of the bottom body 10 is in contact with the lower end of the central portion in the body width direction X of the bottom body 10, and it is preferable that the lower end of the central portion in the body width direction X of the bottom body 10 is slightly lifted upward. For this reason, when the bottom clothing 1 is not worn, as shown in FIG. 1, the fabric on the central portion side in the body width direction X (the side in contact with the inner thigh of the wearer when worn) of the right leg opening 102a and the left leg opening 102b of the bottom body 10 is folded, forming a fold. However, when the bottom clothing 1 is worn, as shown in FIG. 8, the fabric of the bottom body 10 stretches and the fold disappears.

[0045] Thus, the second support part 30 has a substantially square-shaped front body region 301 disposed overlapping the front body side of the bottom body 10, and a vertically long substantially rectangular rear body region 302 disposed overlapping the rear body side of the bottom body 10. With a part of the leg peripheral openings 102a, 102b of the bottom body 10 lifted upward, the upper end (substantially rectangular upper side) of the front body region 301 is sewn to the lower edge of the first support part 20 (front body central region 20a), and the upper end (substantially rectangular lower side) of the rear body region 302 is sewn to the lower edge of the first support part 20 (mainly the rear body central region 20c) together with the bottom body respectively.

[0046] In addition, among the two longitudinal sides (substantially rectangular left side and right side) 301a, 301b in the front body region 301, the upper region (the region located on the front body side of the bottom body 10 and sewn to the first support part 20) curves so as to widen in the body width direction X so as to be continuous with the lower edge of the front body inclined region 20b of the first support part 20.

[0047] When the bottom clothing 1 does not include the first support part 20, the second support part 30 is sewn to the bottom body 10 so as to cover the wearer's pubis B1 on the front body side of the bottom body 10 when worn, and is sewn to the bottom body 10 so as to cover the wearer's sacrum B4 on the rear body side of the bottom body 10 when worn.

[0048] The second support part 30 can use the same fabric as the bottom body 10, and can also use the same fabric as the first support part 20. More specifically, a fabric (a knitted or woven fabric having stretchability in two different directions) having substantially the same stretchability as the bottom body 10 or lower stretchability can be used. Also, a fabric (a warp knitted fabric or a weft knitted fabric that stretches greatly in one of the wale direction and the course direction but hardly stretches in the direction orthogonal to this greatly stretching direction) having substantially the same stretchability as the first support part 20 or lower stretchability can be used.

[0049] Thus, since the second support portion 30 is folded back near the boundary between the front body side and the back body side from the front body side to the back body side of the bottom body 10, a force that pulls upward acts with the crotch portion of the wearer as a fulcrum during wearing. As a result, pressure is applied to the crotch portion of the wearer, and it becomes possible to support the pelvis from below. Since the lower end edge of the first support portion 20 is sewn together with the bottom body 10, compared with the case where the first support portion 20 and the second support portion 30 are sewn to the bottom body 10 in a separated state, it is possible to support the pelvis without the pressure applied to the crotch portion of the wearer decreasing due to the stretching of the bottom body 10. Further, the upper regions of the left side 301a and the right side 301b of the second support portion 30 are curved and spread in the body width direction X, and continuously, the front body side inclined region 20b of the first support portion 20 is inclined obliquely upward in the body width direction X. Therefore, the force that is pulled upward is naturally converted into the force that is pulled in the left-right direction. As a result, it becomes possible to support the pelvis from below while stably supporting around the pelvis without applying a load to the first support portion 20 or the second support portion 30, and thus without applying a load to a part of the pelvis.

[0050] Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, it is preferable that the second support portion 30 is arranged with the weft direction facing the body length direction Y using a fabric having a lower stretchability in the weft direction than in the warp direction. That is, by orienting the weft direction with low stretchability in the body length direction Y, the stretching in the body length direction Y is more suppressed than when the direction with high stretchability is arranged in the body length direction Y. In particular, since the second support portion 30 extending in the body length direction Y is stitched to the first support portion 20 extending in the body width direction X, the first support portion 20 does not shift or sag. Therefore, compared to the case where the direction with high stretchability is arranged in the body length direction Y, stronger pressure is applied to the crotch portion of the wearer, and a force that more strongly attempts to pull the pelvis upward from below acts. This is particularly useful for a person with dropped pelvic organs. Since the loosening of the pelvis may be caused by the pelvic organs dropping without being supported by the pelvic floor muscle group, the dropped pelvic organs can be pulled upward by pulling the pelvic floor muscle group upward from below. Further, since the pressure is applied to the second support portion 30 arranged in this way from the front side (abdomen side) to the inner side of the wearer's body and from the rear side (hip side) to the inner side, pressure is applied not only from below to above but also inward to the crotch portion of the wearer, and it also has the function of making it difficult for the pelvic floor muscle group pulled upward to drop.

[0051] In addition, it is preferable that the second support portion 30 uses a structure in which a plurality of fabric pieces are overlapped and stitched to each other at the peripheral edges. When using a structure overlapped with two fabric pieces, compared to a single fabric piece, the stretching in the body length direction Y is more suppressed, and a force that attempts to pull the pelvis upward from below acts more.

[0052] Further, the second support portion 30 may be stitched to the bottom body 10 at a position 30t (the position of the lower end of the center portion in the body width direction X of the bottom body 10) where it is folded back from the front body side to the rear body side of the bottom body 10. Since the second support portion 30 is folded back near the boundary between the front body and the rear body, a force that pulls upward acts with the vicinity of the crotch portion of the wearer as a fulcrum during wearing. Therefore, even if it is stitched near this boundary, the stretching in the body length direction Y is not suppressed by the stitching, and the left - right displacement of the second support portion 30 during wearing can be prevented.

[0053] It is preferable that the second support part 30 is formed such that the length in the short direction in the region covering the crotch part of the wearer during wearing is within the range of 5 to 10 cm. If the length in the short direction of the substantially rectangular shape is shortened, there is a risk of biting into the crotch part of the wearer during wearing, and the feeling of fit to the body may decrease. On the other hand, if the length in the short direction of the substantially rectangular shape is lengthened, the pushing up of the pelvic floor muscle group of the wearer may be suppressed, and there is a risk that the pelvis cannot be supported in a stable state.

[0054] Also, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the second support part 31 has a substantially square front body region 311 disposed overlapping the front body side of the bottom body 10, and a rear body region 312 having an upper part formed wider disposed overlapping the rear body side of the bottom body 10. With a part of the leg circumferential openings 102a and 102b of the bottom body 10 lifted upward, one end of the front body region 311 is at the lower edge of the first support part 20 (front body central region 20a), and the other end of the rear body region 302 is at the lower edge of the first support part 20 (a part of the rear body central region 20c and the rear body curved region 20d), and they are respectively sewn together with the bottom body. In this way, it is preferable that the rear body region 312 is formed so as to widen in the body width direction X toward the upper side (the side sewn to the first support part 20 on the rear body side of the bottom body 10) so that the region covering the buttocks of the wearer during wearing is wider than the region covering the crotch part. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, it is preferable that the region covering the buttocks of the wearer during wearing is formed in an inverted trapezoidal shape so as to cover substantially all of the sacrum except the upper part of the sacrum B4. Since the sacrum B4 has an inverted triangular shape (see FIG. 3), the sacrum B4 can be supported by lifting the sacrum B4 from below by the second support part 31. Further, since the upper part of the sacrum B4 is supported by the first support part 20, the entire sacrum can be supported by the first support part 20 and the second support part 31. Thereby, while guiding the pelvis to the correct inclination, the hip-up effect is also exhibited.

[0055] As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the third support portion 40 is made of the same fabric as the second support portion 31, is formed in a trapezoidal shape, and is disposed on the bottom body 10 in the same orientation as the orientation in which the second support portion 31 is disposed on the bottom body 10. The third support portion 40 is continuous with the side where the second support portion 31 is sewn to the first support portion 20, and the terminal end is sewn to the upper edge of the waist opening 101a on the back side of the bottom body 10 (L3c indicates the sewing line). The left and right edges of the third support portion 40 may be sewn to the bottom body 10 or the first support portion 20 respectively (L3a and L3b indicate the sewing lines). Note that the third support portion 40 may be made of a single piece of fabric, but it is preferable to use a plurality of pieces of fabric that are overlapped and sewn to each other at the peripheral portions. Note that the third support portion 40 may be made of the same fabric as the second support portion 30 shown in FIG. 2, may be continuous with the side where the second support portion 30 is sewn to the first support portion 20, and may be disposed on the bottom body 10 in the same orientation as the orientation in which the second support portion 30 is disposed on the bottom body 10.

[0056] Since the second support portion 31 has a length from the crotch portion to the sacrum of the wearer on the back side of the bottom body 10, a force that tries to shift downward more than the front side of the bottom body 10 acts. This downward shift may affect not only the pressure exerted by the second support portion 31 but also the pressure exerted by the first support portion 20. If the pressure exerted by the first support portion 20 weakens, it may become impossible to support the ilium and sacrum of the wearer, and there is a possibility that the pelvis cannot be guided to the correct inclination. Therefore, by sewing the upper side of the third support portion 40 to the waist opening 101a whose waist circumference is narrower than the hip circumference (L3c indicates the sewing line), it can be firmly held at the waist circumference during wearing, and the downward shift can be prevented.

[0057] Also, when the wearer wears the bottom garment 1, the third support part 40 will cover the central region 20c of the back body that covers the upper part of the wearer's sacrum B4 and the region that covers a part of the wearer's lumbar vertebra. If a fabric with a lower stretchability in the weft direction than in the warp direction is used for the third support part 40 and this weft direction (the direction with lower stretchability) is arranged in the body length direction Y, the extension in the body length direction Y will be suppressed, pressure will be applied to the inner side of the wearer's body, and not only the upper part of the wearer's sacrum but also a part of the lumbar vertebra can be supported.
