Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to sleepwear for people with protruding chests, which, when worn by the person, closely covers the person's chest circumference, abdomen, and waist circumference. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional women's sleepwear is mainly pajama-style and negligee-style.

[0003] Pajama-style sleepwear is a two-piece set consisting of a top worn over the upper body and a bottom worn under the lower body, while negligee-style sleepwear is a one-piece set in which the bottom of the top extends below the thighs.

[0004] Both pajama and nightgown styles are designed so that when worn by a person, there is a gap between the nightgown and the chest, abdomen, and waist, allowing the upper and lower body to be relaxed and not constricted.

[0005] Some negligee-type bras have cups in the chest covering section that come into contact with and cover the chest, The abdominal and waist covering portion is designed to leave a gap between the abdominal and waist circumference so as not to constrict the abdominal and waist circumference.

[0006] For people who tend to get cold around the waist while sleeping, conventional pajama- or negligee-type sleepwear alone, which creates a gap between the body surface and the sleepwear, is insufficient to keep the waist warm, so they use a belly warmer underneath the sleepwear to keep the waist warm.

[0007] Conventional belly warmers are cylindrical garments that can cover the abdominal circumference, and have a higher stretch rate in the diameter direction than in the length direction of the cylindrical shape.When worn, the diameter of the belly warmer stretches significantly, allowing it to be worn over the head and pulled down to the abdomen, or over the legs and pulled up to the abdomen to cover the abdominal circumference.Some belly warmers have a large cylindrical length that can cover the entire body from the chest to the abdominal circumference.

[0008] A protruding chest may be caused by a large accumulation of fat, as in the case of many women, or by breast implants such as silicone being injected into the chest to make it protruding. In either case, if the chest is not kept in shape, the fat and breast implants will not be able to maintain a stable shape (the shape of the chest will be distorted), so from the perspective of breast beauty, people often wear clothing such as bras that have a breast-retaining function.

[0009] When sleeping, if you lie on your back or side without maintaining your chest shape, the fat and breast structures will not be able to maintain a stable shape, so from the perspective of breast beauty, you may need to wear clothing that has a breast shape-maintaining function, such as a brassiere. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0010] [Non-Patent Document 1] "Textile Technology Handbook: Knit Technology Edition" edited by Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Technology Research Institute Sumida Office (published March 2006) Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0011] From the viewpoint of keeping the abdomen and waist warm while sleeping, belly warmers are often not designed to cover the chest, and even if the tube length is increased to cover from the chest to the abdomen, the chest coverage may slip down while sleeping, or the abdomen coverage may slip up, so that the insulation between the chest, abdomen and waist is not sufficient.

[0012] From the perspective of maintaining the shape of the chest during sleep, brassieres are made of relatively hard materials such as metal or plastic to form the structural framework and strengthen shape retention, in order to maintain a good fit to the chest even during everyday activities that subject the chest to up and down vibrations, and to prevent the shape of the nipples and other parts of the human chest from being visible from the outside.They are also covered with thicker fabric than pajamas or negligees, so wearing a bra under sleepwear can feel like a hard, foreign object and may not be very comfortable.

[0013] Instead of using both sleepwear and a brassiere, some people wear casual clothing such as tank tops or camisoles, which have some of the functionality of a brassiere, as sleepwear. However, like sleepwear, tank tops and camisoles tend to create gaps around the waist and abdomen, and do not take into consideration the warmth of the waist and abdomen.

[0014] In view of the current state of sleepwear as described above, an object of the present invention is to provide sleepwear that can both retain heat around the abdomen and waist while maintaining the shape of the chest area during sleep. [Means for solving the problem]

[0015] The present invention is a sleepwear for people with protruding chests, The sleepwear, when worn by the person, a chest covering part that covers the chest from at least the upper part of the bust top to the underbust; an abdominal / hip circumference covering part that is connected to the chest covering part and extends downward to cover the abdominal / hip circumference, including the waist circumference, abdominal circumference, hip circumference, and thigh circumference, from the underbust downward; The chest side of the chest covering part has a cup part that can come into contact with and cover the protuberance, The maximum width W of the front view of the chest covering part from the underbust circumference to the middle part of the waist circumference downward AHmax and the minimum value is W AHmin When The width W of the cup portion when viewed from the front around the bust top BT Regarding, The W AHmax Ratio (W AHmax / W BT ) is 0.1 to 0.9, The stretch rate in the width direction in front view from the underbust circumference to the middle part of the waist circumference downward is W BT / W AHmin That's all, The sleepwear has a longitudinal elongation rate of 1.4 or less below the underbust periphery. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide sleepwear that can maintain both the warmth of the abdominal and waist area while sleeping and the shape of the chest area. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
