Patent Document 1

[0004] In recent years, running has attracted attention for the purpose of improving health. It is known that during running, it is important to maintain a certain posture because a continuous load is constantly applied to the lower body in particular. Some sports tights are aimed at supporting the maintenance of posture during running.

[0005] During running, so-called "leg swing" is known as one of the phenomena that can occur in an athlete's body. Leg swing refers to the situation where, during the single-leg support phase in which one leg is on the ground and the other leg is not, the other leg is behind. When excessive leg swing occurs, the athlete's foot continues to move behind the body, making it difficult to perform an appropriate kick-off. Also, when excessive leg swing occurs during a long-distance run, fatigue is likely to accumulate in the athlete's legs.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide sports tights that are less likely to cause excessive leg swing. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, an athletic tight is provided which is formed in a predetermined shape including a first cylindrical portion surrounding the first leg, a second cylindrical portion surrounding the second leg, and a third cylindrical portion surrounding the lower abdomen, by combining at least a high-tension portion and a low-tension portion having a lower tension than the high-tension portion, wherein the high-tension portion is arranged to extend at least from the middle of the third cylindrical portion in the width direction toward the lower outer ends in the width direction of the first and second cylindrical portions.

[0009] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. In the embodiments, the terms front-to-back direction, width direction, and up-and-down direction may be used to indicate direction. Each direction refers to the direction relative to the wearer's body when the wearer wearing the athletic tights is standing. That is, the front direction indicates the direction the wearer is facing, and the back direction indicates the direction the wearer's back is facing. The width direction indicates the width direction of the wearer's body. Furthermore, in the following description, athletic tights of the shorts type for short and middle distance running will be used as an example, but the present invention is also applicable to athletic tights of the longspant type or half-pants type, or athletic tights for long distance running.

[0010] Figure 1 is a front view of athletic tights. As shown in Figure 1, athletic tights 10 comprises a front panel 12 and a back panel 14. The front panel 12 covers the front of a portion of the wearer's lower body, and the back panel 14 covers the back of a portion of the wearer's lower body. The front panel 12 and the back panel 14 are joined to each other at their widthwise ends. By joining the front panel 12 and the back panel 14, athletic tights 10 have a three-dimensional shape consisting of three cylindrical sections that surround the wearer's two legs and lower abdomen, respectively. More specifically, athletic tights 10 have a three-dimensional shape including a first cylindrical section 16 that surrounds the wearer's first leg (right leg in the illustrated example), a second cylindrical section 18 that surrounds the wearer's second leg (left leg in the illustrated example), and a third cylindrical section 20 that surrounds the wearer's lower abdomen. The term "tubular section" is used simply to provide a general description of the three-dimensional shape consisting of the front panel 12 and the back panel 14. As can be seen from the following explanation, the functions of the first to third tubular sections 16, 18, and 20 themselves are not directly related to the characteristic parts of this embodiment, so a detailed explanation of the boundaries between the first to third tubular sections 16, 18, and 20 will not be provided.

[0011] The first cylindrical portion 16 and the second cylindrical portion 18 extend downward from the third cylindrical portion 20. That is, the third cylindrical portion 20 is located above the first cylindrical portion 16 and the second cylindrical portion 18. The lower ends of the first cylindrical portion 16 and the second cylindrical portion 18 extend to a position corresponding to the vicinity of the lower end of the wearer's thigh. Anti-slip material S is attached to the lower ends of the first cylindrical portion 16 and the second cylindrical portion 18, and to the inside of the cylinders. The anti-slip material S is arranged along the inside of the first cylindrical portion 16 and the second cylindrical portion 18 so as to surround the thigh. The anti-slip material S is made of a structure or material that can increase the frictional force between the athletic tights 10 and the wearer's skin. As the anti-slip material S, for example, parts made by attaching a resin material such as silicone resin to the inside of the first cylindrical portion 16 and the second cylindrical portion 18 can be used. The anti-slip surface S may be formed by placing a fabric with a higher coefficient of friction than the fabrics that make up the front panel 12 and the back panel 14, or by increasing the pressure on that area by narrowing the dimensions or the like.

[0012] The athletic tights 10 have a structure that constricts various parts of the body overall. Specifically, the front panel 12 and back panel 14 of the athletic tights 10 are made of an elastic fabric (corresponding to the "low tension portion"). Elasticity is a physical value expressed, for example, by tension (N). The majority of the front panel 12 and back panel 14 are made of a fabric having the same elasticity (tension: f1 [N]). Such a fabric is, for example, a synthetic fiber such as nylon. By making the athletic tights 10 using such a fabric, when the athletic tights 10 are worn, the first tube section 16 constricts the wearer's right leg from all directions, the second tube section 18 constricts the left leg from all directions, and the third tube section 20 constricts the wearer's lower abdomen from all directions. Note that the terms front panel and back panel are used only for convenience of explanation and do not mean that the front panel and back panel are each made of a single piece of fabric.

[0013] The athletic tights 10 have high-tensile portions 22 formed of a high-tensile material. The tension f2 of the high-tensile portion 22 is greater than the tension f1 of the fabric forming the low-tensile portion. The high-tensile portion 22 is a single, unified area where the high-tensile material is applied (coated, printed, etc.) to the fabric forming the low-tensile portion. In this embodiment, where the high-tensile material is applied on top of the fabric, the entire hexagonal region indicated by reference numeral 22 is the high-tensile portion 22. In other words, the high-tensile portion 22 is a concept that includes the fabric within the hexagonal region and a laminate of the high-tensile material. The athletic tights 10 have two high-tensile portions 22, corresponding to the wearer's right leg and left leg, respectively. The high-tensile material can be a resin material containing a high-tensile elastomer. As the high-tensile material, various materials with higher tension than the fabric forming most of the front panel 12 and back panel 14 (i.e., the parts other than the high-tensile portion 22) can be used. As high-tensile materials, various thermoplastic elastomers such as polyamide, polyurethane, and polyethylene are suitably used. The high-tensile material is not limited to thermoplastic elastomers; thermosetting elastomers may also be used.

[0014] Figure 2 is a schematic unfolded view of the front panel of the athletic tights. In Figure 2, the dashed line L1 represents a line that extends along the position corresponding to the wearer's groin when the athletic tights 10 are viewed from the front. Figure 2 mainly shows the high-tension portion 22 located on the wearer's right leg side, and the following will provide a detailed explanation of the high-tension portion 22 located on the right leg side. The two high-tension portions 22 have the same configuration except that they are located symmetrically with respect to the center of the wearer's body.

[0015] The high-tension sections 22 are provided at positions corresponding to the wearer's left and right thighs. The high-tension sections 22 include a plurality of continuous straight sections 24, each of which is arranged parallel to the others. The high-tension sections 22 extend from the middle of the third cylindrical section 20 in the width direction, outward in the width direction and downward (corresponding to the first direction). The direction in which the high-tension sections 22 extend refers to the direction in which each straight section 24 extends.

[0016] Although details will be described later, when the high-tension portion 22 is formed by a plurality of discontinuous elements and a plurality of groups each composed of some elements are arranged parallel to each other (example in FIG. 6 described later), the direction in which the high-tension portion 22 extends refers to the direction in which the groups are arranged. Also, although details will be described later, when the high-tension portion 22 is formed by a plurality of randomly arranged discontinuous elements, the direction in which the high-tension portion 22 extends refers to the direction determined by the average vector of the longest diameters of all the elements (FIG. 7 described later).

[0017] The thickness of the straight portion 24 and the distance between the straight portions 24 are determined according to the required tension. Thickening the straight portion 24 or narrowing the distance between the straight portions 24 can increase the tension of the high-tension portion 22. The thickness of the straight portion 24 is, for example, 1 mm to 50 mm, and the distance between each straight portion (the center-to-center distance of the straight portions 24) is preferably, for example, 1 mm to 50 mm.

[0018] The high-tension portion 22 extends to a position a predetermined distance above the lower end of the third cylindrical portion 20. Note that the high-tension portion 22 may be extended to the lower end of the third cylindrical portion 20. The upper end of the high-tension portion 22 is located in the middle of the width direction of the third cylindrical portion 20, more specifically, near the center of the width direction of the third cylindrical portion 20 when viewed from the front. It is preferable to provide the upper end of the high-tension portion 22 outside the width direction from the center of the width direction of the third cylindrical portion 20 so that the two high-tension portions 22 do not interfere with each other.

[0019] Also, the upper end of the high-tension portion 22 may be positioned so as to avoid the portion corresponding to the crotch of the wearer. In this case, the upper end of the high-tension portion 22 is provided further outside the width direction than near the center of the third cylindrical portion 20. Thereby, in the vicinity of the crotch where the body movements are relatively large during running, it becomes difficult for the high-tension portion 22 to interfere with the movements of the wearer. <00001​​

[0021] Furthermore, the high-tensile portion 22 is positioned to avoid portion A2, which covers the inner side of the wearer's thigh in the width direction. More specifically, portion A2, which covers the inner side of the thigh in the width direction, refers to the area where the left and right thighs face each other. This prevents the high-tensile portion 22 from causing discomfort to the wearer and prevents the left and right high-tensile portions 22 from rubbing against each other.

[0022] The direction in which the high-tensile portion 22 extends is an acute angle within a predetermined range (the angular range between virtual lines L3 and virtual lines L4) with respect to a virtual line L2 extending along the widthwise center of the third cylindrical portion 20. Specifically, the angle that the high-tensile portion 22 makes with respect to virtual line L2 is preferably between 10 and 80 degrees. The position of the intersection of virtual lines L3 and virtual line L4 is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of increasing the area of ​​the high-tensile portion 22 and enhancing its effect, it is preferable to set the intersection relatively high.

[0023] The direction in which the high-tensile portion 22 extends may be determined from another viewpoint. Specifically, the direction in which the high-tensile portion 22 extends is preferably approximately perpendicular to the imaginary line L1 that extends along the position corresponding to the wearer's groin. In this case, the high-tensile portion 22 extends parallel to the wearer's inguinal ligament. Here, "approximately right angle with respect to the imaginary line L1 extending along the position corresponding to the wearer's groin" means that the angle that the high-tension portion 22 makes with respect to the imaginary line L2 is in the range of 40 to 50 degrees. That is also possible.

[0024] By positioning the high-tensile portion 22 in this manner, a tensile force can be applied between the thigh and the lower abdomen to counteract the backward movement of the thigh immediately after pushing off during running. By applying a tensile force between the thigh and the lower abdomen, excessive leg movement during running can be prevented, and an improvement in the performance of the wearer of the athletic tights 10 can be expected.

[0025] The function of the athletic tights 10 is described below. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing the movement of the legs during running. In Figure 3, the movement of the legs during running is shown in four stages, (i) to (iv). Figure 3 is a view of the runner from the right side of the runner, and for clarity, the right leg in the foreground is shown with a solid line, and the left leg in the background is shown with a dashed line. The model shown in the upper part of Figure 3 shows the state when the athletic tights 10 are not being worn, and the model shown in the lower part shows the state when the athletic tights 10 are being worn.

[0026] State (i) represents the state immediately after the right leg makes contact with the ground, indicating the early stage of single-leg support by the right leg. State (ii) represents the state at the moment of push-off by the right leg, indicating the late stage of single-leg support by the right leg. State (iii) represents the state immediately before the left leg makes contact with the ground. State (iv) represents the state immediately after the left leg makes contact with the ground, indicating the early stage of single-leg support by the left leg. In this specification, "excessive leg movement" refers to the state from state (ii) to state (iii) in which the angle between the thigh of the push-off leg (right leg in Figure 3) and the imaginary line L5 perpendicular to the ground G becomes larger. That is, it refers to the state in which the difference between extension angle α1 and extension angle β1 becomes larger.

[0027] Focusing on the right leg in the series of movements shown in the upper panel of Figure 3, in state (ii), at the moment of kicking off with the right leg, the extension angle α1 between the right thigh and the imaginary line L5 perpendicular to the ground G is larger than the extension angle α2 in state (ii) in the lower panel. Also, in state (iii) following state (ii), the extension angle β1 in the upper panel model is larger than the extension angle β2 in the lower panel model. Furthermore, in state (iv) following state (iii), the right thigh in the lower panel model is located in front of the imaginary line L5, whereas the right thigh in the upper panel model is located near the imaginary line L5. In other words, in the upper panel model, the movement of pulling the right leg forward is delayed in the series of movements from state (ii) through state (iii) to state (iv), and as a result, the running speed is thought to be slower due to factors such as a slower pitch.

[0028] Possible causes of this excessive leg movement include a delay in the timing of pulling the leg (right leg in Figure 3) forward from state (ii) to state (iii), or insufficient muscle strength to pull the leg forward. The exercise tights 10 are designed to improve the cause of this excessive leg movement. In the series of movements in the lower row of Figure 3, focusing on the right leg, in state (ii), the extension angle α2 is smaller than the extension angle α1 in the upper row. Also, in state (iii), the extension angle β2 is smaller than the extension angle β1 in the upper row. Therefore, the difference between extension angles α2 and β2 (β2-α2) is smaller than the difference between extension angles β1 and α1 (β1-α1). This is because, in the state where the right leg is extended backward from state (ii) to state (iii), a contractile force acts on the stretched high-tension portion 22, and this contractile force acts in the direction of hip flexion. This reduces the difference between extension angles α2 and β2 (β2-α2). A smaller difference in extension angles (β2-α2) means that the right leg can be brought forward more quickly in the process from state (ii) through state (iii) to state (iv). As a result, excessive leg movement is less likely to occur, and this is expected to contribute to improved performance for the wearer of the athletic tights 10.

[0029] As described above, the athletic tights 10 can prevent excessive leg movement, and are expected to contribute to improving the wearer's performance.

[0030] In the above embodiment, the high-tensile portion 22 is formed by attaching a high-tensile material to the surface of the front body 12 (see Figure 1). However, the high-tensile portion 22 may also be formed by attaching or sewing a different fabric to a predetermined position on the front body 12. Alternatively, the high-tensile portion 22 may be formed by attaching a high-tensile material to the inside (body side) of the front body 12. Furthermore, the high-tensile portion 22 may be formed inside the front body 12 by partially increasing the basis weight of the fabric forming the front body 12 at a position corresponding to the high-tensile portion 22. The high-tensile portion 22 may also be formed by rubber printing, sewing, embroidery, etc.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, two types of materials with different tensions were used. However, the exercise tights 10 may be made from two or more types of materials with different tensions. For example, the majority of the exercise tights 10 may be made of low-tension material, a medium-tension material to support the quadriceps femoris muscle may be formed at a position corresponding to the quadriceps femoris muscle, and a high-tension portion 22 may be formed at the above-mentioned position. In this case, the tension in the high-tension portion 22 should be higher than the tension in the area covering the wearer's hamstrings, which provides resistance when the high-tension portion 22 is compressed. Therefore, in such a case, the high-tension portion 22 does not mean that it has the highest tension in the entire exercise tights 10, but rather that it is at least higher than the tension in the area covering the wearer's hamstrings.

[0032] In this embodiment, the front panel 12 and back panel 14 constituting the athletic tights 10 are made of the same fabric, but the front panel 12 and back panel 14 may be made of fabrics with different tensions. When the front panel 12 and back panel 14 are made of fabrics with different tensions, it is preferable that the tension of the fabric of the back panel 14 be less than the tension of the fabric of the front panel 12.

[0033] The inventors conducted simulations on the distribution of tension changes in the back panel of athletic tights during running and found that when the legs are swung forward, tension increases in the buttocks, particularly around the gluteal crease, in the direction of the long axis of the leg. Therefore, by forming the back panel 14 with a fabric that has relatively low tension, hip joint movement is less likely to be hindered, and this is also expected to improve the performance of the wearer of athletic tights 10.

[0034] Further modifications of the embodiment will be described below. In the following modifications, various shapes or arrangements of the elements constituting the high-tensile section will be described. In the following description, the shape of the high-tensile section on the right leg will be described in detail, similar to the example shown in Figure 2. Figures 4 to 7 are enlarged front views of a part of the athletic tights according to the modifications.

[0035] As shown in Figure 4, the thickness of the straight sections 24 that form the high-tensile section 22 may be varied. In this case, it is preferable to make the thickness of the straight sections 24 on the inside in the width direction the thickest, and gradually decrease the thickness of the straight sections 24 toward the outside in the width direction. As a result of motion analysis of athletes by the inventors, it was found that in state (ii) (see Figure 3), the area where the most stretching force acts on the front body 12 (see Figure 1) is near the inside in the width direction of the thigh. Therefore, by making the thickness of the straight sections 24 thicker near the inside in the width direction of the thigh, it is possible to more efficiently prevent leg movement.

[0036] As shown in Figure 5, the spacing between the multiple straight sections 24 that form the high-tension section 22 may be varied. Based on the results of the motion analysis described above, by making the spacing between the straight sections 24 narrowest near the inner side in the width direction of the thigh, it is possible to efficiently reduce leg flow.

[0037] As shown in Figure 6, the high-tension portion 22 may be formed by discontinuous elements. In the example in Figure 6, multiple rhombic portions 30 are arranged in a straight line, and the dimensions of the rhombic portion 30 near the inner side in the width direction of the thigh are made the largest. Even if the high-tension portion 22 is formed by such discontinuous elements, a certain leg-slip prevention effect can be expected.

[0038] In the example shown in Figure 7, the high-tension portion 22 is formed by multiple elongated triangular sections 32. The multiple triangular sections 32 are arranged without gaps between adjacent triangular sections 32 in reverse order to increase the density of the high-tension portion 22. In this way, even if the shape of the straight section 24 is changed, a certain leg-slip prevention effect can be expected.

[0039] Figure 8 is a front view of a modified form of athletic tights. In addition to the above-described configuration, the modified form of athletic tights 10 includes a tension structure 40 that applies tensile force in a direction perpendicular to a virtual line L1 (see Figure 2) that extends along the wearer's groin. The tension structure 40 is formed by a so-called dart structure, which involves pinching and sewing the fabric together. Specifically, the tension structure 40 is formed by applying darts along the virtual line L1. This tension structure 40 also makes it difficult for the legs to slip, similar to the effect of the high-tension section 22.

[0040] Figure 9 is a side view of a modified form of athletic tights. In addition to the above-described configuration, the modified form of athletic tights 10 has a structure in which the vertically extending connecting line L6 between the front panel 12 and the back panel 14 is bent in the middle portion to protrude backward. In the illustrated example, the connecting line L6 is bent so as to be convex towards the buttocks at the height of the buttocks. This structure also makes it difficult for the legs to slip due to the same effect as the high-tensile section 22.

[0041] Figure 10 is a front view of a modified version of the athletic tights. The modified athletic tights 10 includes an anti-slip surface Su provided on the inner surface of the third cylindrical portion 20, and anti-slip surfaces Sl provided on the inner surfaces of the first cylindrical portion 16 and the second cylindrical portion 18, respectively. The upper end of the high-tensile portion 22 extends to a position corresponding to the anti-slip surface Su provided on the third cylindrical portion 20. In other words, when the athletic tights 10 are viewed from the front, the upper end of the high-tensile portion 22 and the anti-slip surface Su overlap. The lower end of the high-tensile portion 22 extends to a position corresponding to the anti-slip surfaces Sl provided on the first cylindrical portion 16 and the second cylindrical portion 18. In other words, when the athletic tights 10 are viewed from the front, the lower end of the high-tensile portion 22 and the anti-slip surface Sl overlap. By overlapping the upper and lower ends of the high-tensile portion 22 with the anti-slip Su, the resistance force acting when the high-tensile portion 22 is pulled in the direction of extension is increased, which is expected to enhance the effect of making it less likely for excessive leg slippage to occur. It is also possible for only one of the upper or lower ends of the high-tensile portion 22 to overlap with the anti-slip Su,Sl.

[0042] Figure 11 is a front view of the athletic tights according to an embodiment. More specifically, Figure 11 shows the results of a fitting simulation that investigated the direction and magnitude of tension generated in the athletic tights during maximum hip extension. In Figure 11, the magnitude of tension is represented by the intensity of the color, with darker colors indicating greater tension. The direction of tension is represented by thin lines, with the direction in which the thin lines extend corresponding to the direction of tension. The white arrows in Figure 11 clearly show the direction and magnitude of tension generated near the groin. The direction of the arrows represents the direction of tension generated near the groin. The thickness of the arrows represents the relative magnitude of tension generated near the groin, with thicker arrows indicating greater tension than thinner arrows. Note that the length of the arrows is unrelated to the magnitude of tension.

[0043] The simulation conditions are as follows: • Tension of the front panel fabric: 2.0 N / cm when stretched to 40%. • Tension of the back panel fabric: 0.8 N / cm when stretched to 40% • Human body model movement: Short-distance running motion at a speed of 10 m / s

[0044] As a result of simulations performed under these conditions, it was found that, as shown in Figure 11, tension is generated during hip extension from the middle of the third cylindrical portion 20 in the width direction toward the lower outer end in the width direction of the first cylindrical portion 16 (second cylindrical portion 18). In particular, the simulation results revealed that greater tension is generated in the portion along the groin and towards the inner side of the groin. Therefore, by extending the high-tension portion 22 along a predetermined direction that takes the tension direction into account, it is expected that excessive leg movement can be prevented.
