Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] When the wearer is in a posture of bending the knees and lowering the waist, the fabric around the knees of the legs is pulled and the knees are compressed. There is room for improvement in Patent Document 1 regarding such suppression of compression around the knees.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide stretch pants capable of suppressing compression around the knees.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The inventors of the present invention have found that one of the factors causing the knees to be compressed when the wearer is in a posture of bending the knees and lowering the waist is that the fabric around the buttocks in the torso stretches, and the fabric around the knees of the legs is pulled along with this stretch. The present invention has been made based on such findings.

[0007] The present invention comprises a torso and a pair of left and right legs projecting downward from the torso, wherein at least one of the legs and the torso has a starting end located below the portion corresponding to the wearer's buttocks on the back side Outward in the width direction and downward or upward The present invention provides stretch pants that have a first seam that extends to the buttocks and causes the fabric in the area located at the buttocks to bulge out.

[0008] The back of the stretch pants features a first seam that extends from the lower part of the section corresponding to the wearer's buttocks to the rest of the garment, causing the fabric in the buttock area to bulge. This allows for extra room in the torso area covering the buttocks, while maintaining a slim fit that conforms to the wearer's body lines in the rest of the garment. The extra room around the buttocks reduces the stretching of the torso by the buttocks when the wearer bends their knees and lowers their hips. Consequently, the tension on the leg fabric around the knees caused by the stretching of the torso is reduced. Therefore, compression around the knees caused by the stretching of the torso is suppressed. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] This invention can suppress compression around the knee. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0012] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a pair of baseball pants 10, which is an example of stretch pants according to an embodiment of the present invention, includes a body part 11 and a pair of leg parts 12 connected to the body part 11. Hereinafter, the configuration of the baseball pants 10 will be described based on the wearing state while referring to the human body parts shown in FIG. 15.

[0013] First, an overview of the baseball pants 10 will be described.

[0014] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, the torso 11 is cylindrical and covers the part of the body from the waist 1 to the buttocks 2 as shown in Figure 15. The pair of left and right leg portions 12 are cylindrical with a shorter circumference than the torso 11 and protrude downward from the torso 11. The leg portions 12 in this embodiment are of the so-called short-fit type, with the hem 12a positioned below the knee 6 and above the calf 7 of the leg 5 shown in Figure 15. The boundary between the torso 11 and the leg portions 12 is defined as a straight line perpendicular to the center line CL that passes through the center of the width direction of the leg portion 12 and extends in the length direction of the leg portion 12, and tangent to the crotch portion 14, which is the top of the pair of leg portions 12.

[0015] The baseball pants 10 consist of a front panel 20 and a back panel 23 made of stretchable fabric. The fabric making up the front panel 20 and the back panel 23 is, for example, 100% polyester with a weight of 200-300 g / m². 2 ) It has sweat-absorbing and stretchable properties.

[0016] Referring to Figures 2 and 4, the front bodice 20 is composed of the front left bodice 21 shown in Figure 11 and the front right bodice 22 shown in Figure 12. The front left bodice 21 has a tengu 13 that covers a zipper (not shown). The front right bodice 22 differs from the front left bodice 21 in that it does not have a tengu 13. The front left bodice 21 and the front right bodice 22 are sewn together by the seam on the underside of the tengu 13. This sewing forms a single front bodice 20, and a seam line 26 is formed between the front left bodice 21 and the front right bodice 22. Here, the seam line 26 includes not only the stitches made by thread, but also the boundary line of the fabric that appears on the surface due to the sewing (see Figures 6 and 9). The same applies to seam lines other than the seam line 26 which will be described later.

[0017] Referring to Figures 3 and 5, the back panel 23 is composed of a pair of upper hind panel 24 shown in Figure 13 and a pair of lower hind panel 25 shown in Figure 14. The pair of upper hind panel 24 and the pair of lower hind panel 25 are each the same shape. The pair of upper hind panel 24 are sewn together, and the lower hind panel 25 is sewn to their lower ends. These sewn parts form a single back panel 23, with a seam line 27 formed between the pair of upper hind panel 24 and a seam line 33 formed between the upper hind panel 24 and the lower hind panel 25. The specific structure of the seam line 33 will be described in detail later.

[0018] By sewing the central and outer sides of the width direction of the front panel 20 and back panel 23, which are formed in this way, baseball pants 10 are created. As a result, a crotch seam 28 is formed on the central side of the width direction of the front panel 20 and back panel 23, and a side seam 29 is formed on the outer side of the width direction of the front panel 20 and back panel 23.

[0019] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, in this embodiment, for baseball pants 10 having the basic configuration described above, three types of seams 31 to 33 are provided in pairs on the left and right sides to reduce the burden on the wearer's legs 5 and improve the appearance when the legs are spread apart and the knees 6 are bent and the waist 1 is lowered, that is, when an infielder takes a defensive stance. Of these, one seam (first seam) 31 is provided from the torso 11 to the leg 12 of the back panel (back side) 23. The other seam (second 3 The remaining seam (32) is located on the part of the torso 11 that makes up the front bodice (front side) 20. 2 The seam line 33 is located on the part of the back bodice 23 that makes up the leg portion 12.

[0020] The following will provide a detailed explanation of seam lines 31-33, referring in conjunction with the cutting diagrams of the garment shown in Figures 11 to 14. In each cutting diagram, the thick lines represent the outer edge of the cut fabric, and the thin lines represent the planned fold lines or sewing lines of the fabric.

[0021] Referring to Figures 1, 3, and 5, the seam line 31 is provided to allow for extra room in the torso 11 where the buttocks 2 shown in Figure 15 are located, while slimming the legs 12 to conform to the wearer's body line. This seam line 31 extends downward from the center of the width direction of the torso 11 to the outside of the width direction of the legs 12, sloping downward so as to extend from the lower part of the buttocks 2 shown in Figure 15 toward the knee 6, which is the part other than the buttocks 2.

[0022] More specifically, the suture line 31 comprises a starting end 31a located at the lower part of the portion corresponding to the buttocks 2 shown in Figure 15, and a ending end 31b located on the lateral suture line 29 in the leg portion 12, extending in a straight line between them. However, the suture line 31 may also be curved, and it is sufficient if it extends from the buttocks 2 towards the portion corresponding to the knee 6 shown in Figure 15.

[0023] The starting point 31a is located at the intersection of the centerline CL of the leg 12 and the straight line SL that extends in the width direction along the lower part of the buttocks 2. However, the starting point 31a does not need to be located at the exact intersection of the centerline CL and the straight line SL in a geometrically strict sense, as long as it is located in the lower part of the buttocks 2. On the other hand, the ending point 31b is located in the part corresponding to the upper side of the knee 6 and below the center of the hamstrings 8 as shown in Figure 15.

[0024] Referring to Figures 6, 7, and 13, the seam line 31 is formed by a dart (first dart) 35 created by folding the fabric inward and sewing it. No cutting is done in the upper hind bodice 24 to form the dart 35. The amount of fabric folded by the dart 35 increases as it moves away from the starting end 31a, and is greatest at the end 31b. This configuration allows the fabric to bulge out in the part of the torso 11 where the starting end 31a is located, providing some leeway. On the other hand, the leg portion 12 can be gradually tapered from top to bottom to match the leg 5, which tapers away from the buttocks 2 shown in Figure 15, and can be sufficiently slimmed down in the part where the end 31b is located.

[0025] Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 4, the suture line 32 is provided in the torso 11 to allow for extra room in the upper part of the crotch area 14, while reducing sagging and wrinkles in the fabric in the area corresponding to the hip joint 3 shown in Figure 15. This suture line 32 extends from the inside of the area corresponding to the hip joint 3 shown in Figure 15 toward the part 4 where the iliac crest, the outermost protruding part of the waistline, is located, sloping upward outward in the width direction from the crotch area 14.

[0026] More specifically, the suture line 32 comprises an inner end 32a located on the widthwise central side of the torso 11 and an outer end 32b located on the lateral suture line 29 of the torso 11, extending in a straight line between them. However, the suture line 32 may also be curved, and it is sufficient if it extends from the inside of the part corresponding to the hip joint 3 shown in Figure 15 toward the part 4 where the iliac crest is located.

[0027] The inner end 32a is located above the crotch area 14 and on the outside in the width direction, generally adjacent to the outside in the width direction of the lower part of the tengu 13. In the vertical direction, the position of the inner end 32a is generally the same as the position of the starting end 31a of the seam line 31. On the other hand, the outer end 32b is located on the side seam line 29 at the same height as the pocket 15 provided on the upper side of the part corresponding to the buttocks 2 shown in Figure 15. In other words, the outer end 32b is located above the starting end 31a of the seam line 31.

[0028] The seam line 32 is formed by darts (second darts) 36, which are created by folding the fabric inward and sewing it, similar to the seam line 31 shown in Figure 6. Referring to Figures 8, 11, and 12, the front left bodice 21 and the front right bodice 22 are not cut to form darts 36. The amount of fabric folded by the darts 36 is greatest at the midpoint (intermediate portion) 32c, which is located between the inner end 32a and the outer end 32b of the entire length of the seam line 32. More specifically, the amount of fold in the darts 36 gradually increases from the inner end 32a towards the midpoint 32c, and gradually decreases from the midpoint 32c towards the outer end 32b, with the amount of fold being greater at the outer end 32b than at the inner end 32a. The midpoint 32c is located at the intersection of the seam line 32 with the center line CL of the leg portion 12. However, the midpoint 32c does not need to be located on the intersection with the center line CL in a geometrically strict sense, as long as it is located in the part corresponding to the hip joint 3 shown in Figure 15. With this configuration, the fabric can be made to bulge out to provide room in the upper part of the crotch area 14 where the inner end 32a of the torso 11 is located. On the other hand, the torso 11 can be made thinner as it moves away from the crotch area 14, and can be made sufficiently slim in the part where the midpoint 32c is located.

[0029] Referring to Figures 1, 3, and 5, the seam line 33 is provided to allow for extra room in the leg portion 12 where the knee 6 is located, while reducing sagging and wrinkles in the fabric in the area corresponding to the back of the knee 6a shown in Figure 15. This seam line 33 is formed by a seam 37 created by sewing together the upper hindquarter panel 24 and the lower hindquarter panel 25, and extends in the width direction of the leg portion 12.

[0030] Referring to Figures 11 to 14, the width of the leg portion 12 of the upper hindquarter bodice 24 and the lower hindquarter bodice 25 is wider than the width of the leg portion 12 of the front left bodice 21 and the front right bodice 22. As a result, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, when the front bodice 20 and back bodice 23 are overlapped, as shown in Figure 4, when viewed from the front, a portion of the back bodice 23 is visible on both sides of the front bodice 20, and as shown in Figure 5, when viewed from the back, the front bodice 20 is not visible on both sides of the back bodice 23.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, in the leg portion 12, the portion below the knee 6 shown in Figure 15 is bent towards the back relative to the upper portion by the seam 37. As a result, the portion of the front body 20 that constitutes the leg portion 12, corresponding to the knee 6, bulges out from the portion of the back body 23 that constitutes the leg portion 12 by the seam 37. Furthermore, the total length of the portion of the back body 23 that constitutes the leg portion 12 is longer than the total length of the portion of the front body 20 that constitutes the leg portion 12. In addition, the seam line 33 formed by the seam 37 is set in a curved shape in the cut state of the upper hind body 24 and lower hind body 25 shown in Figures 13 and 14, but appears straight in appearance when sewn, as shown in Figures 1, 3, and 5. It is preferable that the bending angle θ1 of the portion of the leg portion 12 below the seam line 33 relative to the portion above the seam line 33 be set to 10 degrees or more and 90 degrees or less, and in this embodiment it is set to 15 degrees.

[0032] The suture line 33 has an inner end 33a located on the inseam suture line 28 and an outer end 33b located on the side suture line 29, and extends in a straight line between them. However, the suture line 33 may be curved, and it is sufficient if it is located in the part corresponding to the back of the knee 6a shown in Figure 15.

[0033] The inner end 33a is positioned below the portion corresponding to the top of the knee 6 shown in Figure 15. The outer end 33b is positioned above the inner end 33a, more specifically above the portion corresponding to the top of the knee 6 shown in Figure 15, and below the end 31b of the suture line 31. In other words, the suture line 33 in this embodiment extends inclined from the inside to the outside in the width direction of the leg portion 12.

[0034] Referring to Figures 4 and 5, in the baseball pants 10 of this embodiment, the pair of leg sections 12 are configured to gradually separate as they move away from the torso 11 when the front panel 20 and back panel 23 are overlapped. If the angle θ2 between the inseam seams 28 of one leg section 12 and the other leg section 12 is made too small, when the wearer spreads their legs, the fabric on the inside of the leg section 12 stretches and puts a strain on the leg 5 due to compression. On the other hand, if the angle θ2 is made too large, when the wearer stands upright, sagging and wrinkles may occur on the inside of the leg section 12, resulting in an unsightly appearance. To prevent these problems, it is preferable to set the angle θ2 between the pair of leg sections 12 in the range of 75 degrees to 120 degrees, and in this embodiment, it is set to 80 degrees.

[0035] Figures 16 and 17 show the results of body shape change analysis when the wearer assumes a defensive stance with legs spread, knees 6 bent, and hips 1 lowered. Figure 16 shows the analysis results when wearing conventional baseball pants without seams 31-33, and Figure 17 shows the analysis results when wearing the baseball pants 10 of this embodiment, which have seams 31-33. The shades of gray in these figures represent the level of pressure applied to the legs 5 depending on the fabric, with darker areas (red in the color image) indicating higher pressure than lighter areas (pale green in the color image).

[0036] Referring to Figure 16, it can be seen that in conventional baseball pants, high pressure is generated from the hamstrings 8 through the knee 6 to the lower part of the knee 6. This is because, when taking a defensive stance, the fabric of the torso is stretched by the buttocks 2, and this stretching pulls on the fabric around the knees of the legs, compressing the knees.

[0037] Referring to Figure 17, it can be seen that in the baseball pants 10 of this embodiment, high pressure is generated in a part of the hamstrings 8 and a part of the area around the knees 6, but overall the pressure applied by the fabric is lower than in conventional baseball pants. This is because the seam line 31 provided near the buttocks 2 provides room in the torso 11, reducing the stretching of the fabric of the torso 11 by the buttocks 2 when taking a defensive stance, and reducing the pulling of the fabric around the knees of the legs 12. Also, the seam line 32 provided near the crotch 14 provides room in the crotch 14, reducing the pulling of the fabric around the hip joint 3. Furthermore, the seam line 33 provided behind the knee 6a provides room around the knees 6 of the legs 12, reducing the pulling of the fabric around the knees 6. Furthermore, these results show that the baseball pants 10 of this embodiment can suppress the compression around the knees 6 by the legs 12 caused by the stretching of the torso 11, thereby reducing the burden on the wearer's legs 5.

[0038] The baseball pants 10 constructed in this manner have the following features.

[0039] The back panel 23 is provided with a seam 31 that extends from an origin 31a located below the part corresponding to the wearer's buttocks 2 to the part other than the buttocks 2, causing the fabric in the part corresponding to the buttocks 2 to bulge out. This allows for extra room in the part of the torso 11 that covers the buttocks 2, while maintaining a slim shape in the part other than the buttocks 2 that conforms to the wearer's body line. Because there is extra room around the buttocks 2 of the torso 11, when the wearer bends their knees 6 and lowers their hips 1, the stretching of the torso 11 by the buttocks 2 is reduced. Therefore, the pulling of the fabric around the knees 6 of the legs 12 due to the stretching of the torso 11 is reduced. Thus, the compression around the knees 6 by the legs 12 due to the stretching of the torso 11 can be suppressed.

[0040] The seam line 31 is formed by a dart 35 created by folding the fabric, and the amount of fabric folded by the dart 35 increases as it moves away from the starting end 31a. This allows for ample room around the buttocks 2 of the torso 11, while achieving a slim fit in the legs 12 that conforms to the wearer's body lines.

[0041] The suture line 31 slopes downward and outward from its starting point 31a. In other words, when the wearer is in a posture with their knees 6 bent and their hips 1 lowered, the suture line 31 extends in the direction in which the fabric stretches. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the obstruction of the fabric's stretchability while also reducing the unraveling of the seam due to the stretching of the fabric.

[0042] The starting point 31a of the suture line 31 is located at the intersection of the center line CL, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the leg portion 12, and the straight line SL, which extends in the width direction along the lower part of the buttocks portion 2. Therefore, it is possible to ensure that there is sufficient room in the portion of the torso 11 that covers the buttocks portion 2.

[0043] The front panel 20 has a seam 32 that extends upward from the crotch area 14 outwards in the width direction, causing the fabric in the area where the crotch area 14 is located to bulge. This allows for extra room in the upper part of the crotch area 14 of the torso 11, while maintaining a slim fit that conforms to the wearer's body line in areas other than the crotch area 14. Furthermore, it reduces sagging and wrinkles in the front panel 20 at the hip joint area 3 when the wearer is in a posture with their waist 1 bent forward. Thus, the appearance of the baseball pants 10 in such a posture can be improved.

[0044] The seam line 32 is formed by a dart 36 in which the fabric is folded inward, and the amount of fabric folded by the dart 36 is greater at the outer edge 32b of the torso 11 than at the inner edge 32a. This allows for extra room in the upper part of the crotch area 14 of the torso 11, while achieving a slim fit that conforms to the wearer's body line in areas other than the crotch area 14.

[0045] The amount of fabric folded in by the dart 36 is greatest at the midpoint 32c of the entire length of the seam line 32. This effectively reduces sagging and wrinkles in the front panel 20 when the wearer is in a posture with their waist 1 bent forward, thereby improving the appearance of the baseball pants 10.

[0046] A seam 33 is provided in the back panel 23 at the area behind the knee (6a) of the leg portion 12, extending in the width direction and causing the fabric on the front panel 20 side to bulge. Therefore, when the wearer is in a posture with their knee 6 bent, the pressure on the knee 6 by the fabric is reduced, and the looseness and wrinkles of the back panel 23 that occur at the area behind the knee 6a are reduced. Thus, the appearance of the baseball pants 10 in such a posture can be improved.

[0047] When the front panel 20 and the back panel 23 are overlapped, the angle θ2 (see Figure 4) between the inseam seam 28 of one leg portion 12 and the inseam seam 28 of the other leg portion 12 is between 75 and 120 degrees. This reduces the stretching of the fabric on the inner part of the leg portion 12 when the wearer is in a spread-legged position, thereby suppressing compression of the legs 5 by the fabric. Therefore, these pants 10 are suitable for baseball players who frequently maintain a defensive stance with their legs spread, knees 6 bent, and hips 1 low.

[0048] The following describes variations of the present invention, but unless otherwise specified, the same aspects as in the embodiments. In the drawings referred to below, the same reference numerals are used for elements identical to those in the embodiments.

[0049] The starting end 31a of the suture line 31 may be located at the upper end of the center in the width direction of the leg portion 12.

[0050] As shown in Figure 18, the suture line 31 extends from its starting end 31a inclined downward toward the inside in the width direction of the leg portion 12, and its end 31b may be located on the inseam suture line 28.

[0051] As shown in Figure 19, the suture line 31 curves upward outward in the width direction from its starting end 31a located in the torso 11, bypassing the portion corresponding to the buttocks 2 shown in Figure 15, and its end 31b may be located on the lateral suture line 29 in the torso 11.

[0052] Two or more suture lines 31, as shown in Figures 5, 18, and 19, may be combined to provide the sutures.

[0053] The end 31b of the suture line 31 may be located at a distance from the suture lines 28, 29 without reaching the inseam suture line 28 or the side suture line 29.

[0054] As described above, the suture line 31 only needs to have its starting end 31a located at the lower part of the buttocks 2 and extend to the part other than the buttocks 2.

[0055] The seams 31 and 32 may be formed by easing, stretching stitches, tucks, and seams. The seam 33 may be formed by darts, easing, stretching stitches, and tuck seams.

[0056] The baseball pants 10 may consist of a left half panel that makes up the left half and a right half panel that makes up the right half.

[0057] In the above description, the stretch pants of the present invention were explained using baseball pants 10 as an example, but the stretch pants may also be for golf or work. In these cases, the leg portion 12 has a total length where the hem 12a reaches the ankle. In the case of golf pants, it is preferable that the angle θ2 (see Figure 4) between a pair of leg portions 12 is set in the range of 10 degrees to 40 degrees, and the bending angle of the portion of the leg portion 12 below the seam line 33 relative to the portion above the seam line 33 is set to 10 degrees to 40 degrees.

[0058] The stretch pants may also be shorts, with the hem 12a positioned above the knee 6. In this case, the seam 33 is unnecessary, and they are suitable for soccer, volleyball, and basketball.

[0059] A first aspect of the present invention is: It comprises a torso 11 and a pair of left and right legs 12 that protrude downward from the torso 11. The present invention provides stretch pants 10, which have a seam 31 on at least one of the back panels 23 of the leg portion 12 and the torso portion 11, extending from a starting end 31a located below the portion corresponding to the wearer's buttocks 2 to a portion other than the buttocks 2, and causing the fabric in the portion corresponding to the buttocks 2 to bulge.

[0060] A second aspect of the present invention is: The aforementioned seam line 31 is formed by a dart 35 created by folding the fabric inward and sewing it together. The present invention provides stretch pants 10 according to the first embodiment, wherein the amount of fabric folded by the dart 35 increases as it moves away from the starting end 31a.

[0061] A third aspect of the present invention is: The present invention provides stretch pants 10 according to the first or second embodiment, wherein the suture line 31 is inclined outward and downward from the starting end 31a so as to extend from the buttocks 2 toward the knee 6.

[0062] A fourth aspect of the present invention is: The starting end 31a of the suture line 31 is located at the intersection of a center line CL that passes through the center of the leg portion 12 in the width direction and extends in the length direction of the leg portion 12 and a straight line SL that extends in the width direction along the lower part of the buttock portion 2, thereby providing the stretch pants 10 according to any of the first to third embodiments.
