Cross Reference to Related Applications
This application was filed as a PCT international patent application on day 9/8 in 2018 and claiming priority from U.S. patent application No. 15/848,694 filed on day 20/12 in 2017 and U.S. provisional patent application No. 62/550,002 filed on day 25/8 in 2017, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
Background
Garment manufacturers typically construct garments with visible seams, pockets, cutouts (basffles), and other lines and/or details. These construction features may be necessary for the shape of the garment, the fit of the garment, or extra detail added to express fashion. These construction features will form lines and varying garment thicknesses that fall on the wearer's body.
The aspects disclosed herein have been made with respect to these and other general considerations. Moreover, although relatively specific problems may be discussed, it should be understood that these aspects should not be limited to solving the specific problems identified in the background or elsewhere in this disclosure.
Disclosure of Invention
The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for anatomical adjustment, including anatomical warping. More specifically, the anatomical adjustment is any intentional manipulation of the thickness, cut, seams, pockets, edges, color blocking, and/or other construction lines and/or details of the garment to change the perceived shape of the wearer of the garment toward a desired appearance. In addition, the present disclosure generally relates to garments resulting from the use of these systems and methods for anatomical adjustment.
In one aspect, the present invention relates to a garment having a body enhancing cut. The garment includes a first set of cut lattices positioned over a first anatomical region of the wearer and a second set of cut lattices positioned over a second anatomical region of the wearer. Anatomical adjustments are made to at least two cut grid edges of the first set of cut grids to change the appearance of the first anatomical region of the wearer. Anatomical adjustments are made to the dimensions of at least two different cutaways in the first set of cutaways to change the appearance of the first anatomical region of the wearer. Anatomical adjustments are made to at least two cut grid edges of the second set of cut grids to change the appearance of the second anatomical region of the wearer. Anatomical adjustments are made to the dimensions of at least two different cutouts of the second set of cutouts to change the appearance of a second anatomical region of the wearer.
In another aspect, the present invention relates to a garment having a body enhancing cut. The garment includes a first set of cut panels disposed over a first anatomical region of a wearer. Anatomical adjustments are made to at least four cutlets of the first set of cutlets using perspective rules to change an appearance of the first anatomical region of the wearer.
In an additional aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for designing a body enhancing garment utilizing cut-outs. The method comprises the following steps:

Detailed Description
In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments or examples. These embodiments or examples may be combined, other embodiments or examples may be utilized, and structural changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present disclosure is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
Every time a human opens their eyes, their brains perform trillions of calculations in order to see a three-dimensional (3-D) world. These calculations operate according to a set of rules. One of these rules is the geodesic assumption: the curve on the surface reveals the 3D shape of the surface. This is why the person looking at fig. 1 has to see the 3-D shape even if the lines are naturally flat. Specifically, fig. 1 is a two-dimensional image composed of only curves. The vision system using geodesic assumptions assumes that lines on a curved surface are curved due to the 3-D shape of the curved surface. Thus, the brain interprets the curve as lying on the surface of a sphere, which is considered to come out of the page.
Another rule utilized by vision systems is linear perspective. An example of a linear perspective view is shown in fig. 2, where parallel train tracks converge as they get farther apart. This depth cue makes use of the fact that as an object moves farther away, its viewing angle decreases. Thus, if we target the distance between the train tracks, the bottom of the image (the train tracks are very wide) appears close to the viewer, while the top of the image (the train tracks are very narrow) appears far from the viewer. The image presented in fig. 2 is two-dimensional (2-D), so the depth perception is fully built by the visual system, mainly with linear perspective cues.
Additional rules utilized by the vision system include foreshortening cues and texture gradients. In this case, the texture gradient refers to the local size of the pattern elements, such that larger elements are generally perceived as being on a surface closer to the viewer, while smaller elements are generally perceived as being on a surface further away from the viewer. Foreshortening cues may provide additional information about the deflection, inclination, and curvature of the surface. For example, if a planar pattern consisting of circular elements is distorted in depth, the areas that are biased or tilted from the viewer will have an ellipse instead of a circle. The width of the ellipse can be used by the vision system as an additional cue when constructing a 3D shape of the surface.
Another rule utilized by the visual system relates to how the brain uses intensity gradients to construct and perceive 3-D shapes. This rule is known as a shape recovered from shading, and one example of this rule is shown in fig. 24. In viewing fig. 24, the vision system assumes that the light rays are generally from the top, and thus interprets the first set of five circles 2402 as depressions extending into the page, and the second set of five circles 2404 as protrusions extending from the page. The brain makes these determinations based on the intensity gradients of circles 2402 and 2404 and assumptions of the top light source. For example, when viewing figure 24 upside down, the brain perceives the first set of five circles 2402 as protrusions extending out of the page and the second set of five circles 2404 as depressions extending into the page, both because of the position of the circle's shadow switches. In this way, changes in shading can significantly affect the perception of the subject by the brain.
Many garments are constructed with visible seams, pockets, and other details besides the main fabric. These construction details usually form straight lines when the garment is laid flat, but bend when worn on the body (properties of geodesic lines; see fig. 3). The vision system assumes that the curvature of these lines is entirely due to the body shape (i.e., if the garment is laid flat, the curve on the garment will be a straight line). Thus, using geodesic assumptions, the vision system will construct a three-dimensional body shape based in part on the curvature of the construction details.
It is known from the field of evolutionary psychology that each time an individual encounters a person, the brain automatically assesses a variety of sensory cues relating to the fitness and reproductive fitness of the person in less than a second. The initial judgment of an individual for attraction is a summary of this evaluation, and the individual will experience greater attraction for individuals that appear healthier and more appropriate for reproduction. Thus, the three-dimensional shape of a person's body is a key sensory cue for assessing the attractiveness of a person.
When a person wears clothes, they voluntarily place several lines or construction details on their body. The brain uses the rules discussed above and several other rules to interpret these details and lines. Current garment designs do not take into account that the brain adds its own interpretation of the lines and details on the garment to change the shape of the wearer. Thus, a problem with existing garment constructions or designs is that it may result in a garment that reduces the appeal of the individual's form to others, which is clearly undesirable to the individual wearing the garment. Despite intensive research into perception rules, these rules have not been applied to garments. Additionally, perception rules have not been utilized on garments to alter the perception of human features to fall within or move towards attractive and/or desired size and shape ranges known when worn.
As such, there is generally no system or method for designing or manufacturing garments using perception rules and desired feature ranges. Accordingly, the systems and methods disclosed herein provide systems and/or methods for systematically constructing garments using perception rules to change the perceived shape of the wearer. These anatomical changes are based on the anatomy of any wearer and are referred to herein as anatomical adjustments. The anatomical adjustment includes an anatomical warp. Anatomical warping is any intentional manipulation of seams, pockets, or other construction lines and/or details of a garment to change the perceived shape of the wearer of the garment toward a desired appearance. In some embodiments, anatomical adjustments are used to increase the attractiveness of the wearer. For example, an attractive body will bend seams and pockets on the garment differently than a body that is not attractive. Accordingly, the systems and methods disclosed herein may bend, resize, apply color patches, and/or modify the construction details of a flat garment to change the perception of the wearer's 3D shape based on curves created by an attractive body in a manner that makes the wearer considered more attractive. As used herein, color matching refers to applying contrasting colors (such as darker, lighter, or different colors) to blocks or areas on a garment to emphasize or de-emphasize anatomical areas on the wearer of the garment that are covered by the color blocks. However, in other embodiments, anatomical adjustments are used to change the appearance of the wearer towards any desired characteristic shape.
For example, a garment such as a jacket may utilize cut-outs (also referred to as channels) to hold the insulation in place. The edges of the cut-outs (resulting in the shape of the cut-outs), the size, and the thickness of the cut-outs may be adjusted with perceptual rules to change the appearance of the wearer of the garment. The thickness of the cut cells may be adjusted by any known method, such as by reducing the amount of insulation or filler placed inside the cut cells, changing the type of insulation used to fill the cut cells, or changing the size of the interior region capable of receiving the insulation.
The change in the construction characteristics of the garment may cover any body part or anatomical region, such as the buttocks, legs, chest, waist, feet, shoulders, upper back, lower back, buttocks, back of the waist, arms, and the like. This list is exemplary only and not meant to be limiting. Clothing includes any ready-made article of clothing that can be worn by humans, such as pants, shirts, skirts, jackets, shorts, skirts, dresses, leggings, tights, bras, undergarments, swimsuits, shoes, vests, coats, and the like. This list is exemplary only and not meant to be limiting.
Referring now to the drawings, in which like numerals represent like elements throughout the several views, various aspects of the present disclosure will be described. Fig. 3 is a partial back view illustrating a strip of jeans 300 laid flat 302 and worn 304 in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure. The pocket 306 has a straight edge 308. When the jeans 300 are worn 304, the straight edges 308 appear curved. As discussed above, a straight line appears curved when placed on a circular object. The brain interprets the curve and estimates the size and shape of the buttocks based in part on the curve.
It is known that the brain automatically constructs a 3-D shape from curves on the buttocks so that the shape, size and/or positioning of the pocket can be adjusted to change the perceived shape of the buttocks. The field of orthopedics has identified several characteristics that have attractive female hip shapes. In this way, the pocket can be adjusted to change the perceived shape of the buttocks to appear more attractive or to appear closer to these known orthopedic characteristics. The field of orthopedics has also identified shape characteristics of several other body parts, regions and/or features that are deemed attractive that can be used for anatomical adjustment.
For example, fig. 4 is a partial back view illustrating a pair of jeans 400 having a conventional pocket 406 and the same pair of jeans 400 having an anatomically-adjusted pocket 416 worn by the same virtual body or avatar in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure. The jeans 400 with the conventional pockets 406 are referred to as standard jeans 402. The jeans 400 with the anatomically-adjusted pockets 416 are referred to as adjusted jeans 404. Each different jeans 400 includes a first pocket on the back side that, when worn, is at least partially positioned over a first cheek of the wearer's buttocks and a second pocket on the back side that, when worn, is at least partially positioned over a second cheek of the wearer's buttocks. Pocket, as used herein, refers to the outline of a container or compartment or a man-made container or compartment on a garment. An artificial container or compartment as utilized herein is a compartment that is represented by seams and is not actually present on a garment.
The standard jeans 402 utilize conventional pockets 406 having straight side edges 408 and standard pocket sizes and orientations. The adjusted jeans 404 include anatomically adjusted pockets 416. The anatomically adjusted pocket 416 is adjusted with perception rules to change the perceived shape of the buttocks when compared to standard jeans 402 using conventional pockets 406. For example, the inside edge 418 of the pocket 416 is curved. In this embodiment, the inboard edge 418 includes a 12 degree arc or curve. However, other bend angles may be utilized to achieve other desired feature shapes. Additionally, in this embodiment, the pocket 416 is reduced by 9%, moved inward by 0.3 inches, and moved upward by 0.25 inches when compared to the conventional pocket 406 on standard jeans 402. These differences in lines and details of construction change the appearance of the wearer's buttocks to look more attractive when compared to a conventional pocket 406 based on known orthopedic features.
Anatomical adjustments to the garment may be made using several different procedures or methods. In some embodiments, anatomical adjustments may be performed after visual inspection of the living model by manually adjusting the construction lines and details on the clothing based on perceptual rules (such as the principles of geodesic assumptions). In other embodiments, the anatomical adjustment is based on a curve difference found between an actual body shape of a selected feature and a desired body shape of the selected feature. In other embodiments, as shown in fig. 16, a method 1600 for anatomical adjustment may be utilized.
Fig. 16 is a flow diagram illustrating a method 1600 for designing or constructing an anatomically tailored garment in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure. The anatomical adjustment uses perceptual rules to change the perceived size and/or shape of the wearer. In some embodiments, anatomical adjustments are used to increase the attractiveness of the wearer. Fig. 5A-5E show schematic examples of different operations of a method 1600 for making anatomical adjustments to a pair of jeans to change the hip's appearance.
The routine or method 1600 begins at operation 1602, where a desired 3-D body shape or body feature is identified. The feature may be any body part or anatomical region of the body covered by the garment. For example, the feature may be the buttocks or chest. In some embodiments, the desired 3-D body shape is generated by one or more computing devices. In some embodiments, the desired 3-D body shape is an attractive body shape based on an attractive known range of sizes and shapes. In other embodiments, the desired 3-D body shape emphasizes or minimizes the appearance of particular features of the body. For example, the desired body shape may be any desired range of sizes and/or shapes of one or more features. FIG. 5A shows an example of a desired 3-D body shape 550 of a computer-generated hip 560.
After identifying the 3-D body shape during operation 1602, the method 1600 moves to operation 1604. At operation 1604, the desired 3-D body shape is converted into a 2-D depth map. In some embodiments, a 2-D depth map of a desired 3-D body shape is generated by one or more computing devices. For example, FIG. 5B illustrates an example of a computer-generated transformation of a desired 3-D body shape 550 of the buttocks 560 into a 2-D depth map 570.
Next, method 1600 moves to operation 1606 where one or more construction lines and/or details of the flat garment are identified. The one or more construction lines and/or details may include a cut-out, including the shape, size, and/or thickness of the cut-out. Additionally, one or more of the construction strands may include a construction material dimension, such as a yarn or other threadline. In some embodiments, operation 1606 identifies pre-existing construction lines and/or construction details on the flat garment to adjust. In other embodiments, operation 1606 identifies construction lines and/or construction details to be added to the flat garment to be located over or near the one or more identified features. In further embodiments, operation 1606 identifies construction lines and/or construction details to be added to the garment, and identifies pre-existing construction lines and/or details on a flat garment. For example, fig. 5C shows an example of a piece of flat jeans 580 having a conventional pocket 500 that falls over the hips 560 that is identified for alteration or adjustment based on its fall on the hips 560 (the identified desired features of fig. 5A and 5B).
Once the construction lines and/or details are identified at operation 1606, operation 1608 is performed. At operation 1608, the construction lines and/or details are positioned on the 2-D depth map of the desired 3-D body shape. In some embodiments, the dimensions of the build lines and/or details are also determined at operation 1608. The positioning at operation 1608 ensures that one or more construction lines and/or details fall appropriately over or near the selected feature when worn. In some aspects, the thickness of the garment may be adjustable. In these aspects, a uniform thickness is applied and also positioned on the 2-D depth map of the desired 3-D body shape. In some embodiments, one or more computing devices perform operation 1608. For example, FIG. 5D shows an example of a flat pocket 500 as shown in FIG. 5C positioned over the buttocks 560 on a 2-D depth map 570. In some embodiments, at operation 1608, the location and/or size of the constructed lines and/or details are determined by utilizing an adaptive genetic algorithm, which will be described in more detail below. In other embodiments, at operation 1608, the location and/or size of the construction lines and/or details is determined based on the perception rules and/or visual inspection. In further embodiments, the sizing and positioning may come from an adjustment task, where the consumer may adjust the size and location of construction lines and/or details on the simulated garment. For example, the consumer may move the slider left or right, with a smaller size simulated to the left and a larger size simulated to the right. Consumer preferences are accumulated to inform of preferred sizes and positioning and then applied to construction details.
Next, operation 1610 is performed. At operation 1610, the construction lines and/or details are adjusted based on their positions on the 2-D depth map to create adjusted construction details and/or lines. In other words, at operation 1610, the construction lines and/or details are shifted from the 2-D depth map to show the curves that a flat pocket would create if it were worn by a body with the desired features. In a further aspect, where the thickness of the garment is adjustable, at operation 1610, the thickness is made thicker or thinner or adjusted according to the 2-D depth map to emphasize the curve that would be perceived if the garment were worn by a body having the desired features. In other aspects, where the thickness of the spin or yarn is adjustable, at operation 1610, the thickness is made thicker or thinner or adjusted according to a 2-D depth map to emphasize the curve that would be perceived if the garment were worn by a body with desired characteristics. In some embodiments, operation 1610 is performed by one or more computing devices.
After operation 1610, operation 1612 is performed. At operation 1612, the perspective projection is utilized to create a 2-D image of the adjusted construction lines and/or details. In some embodiments, operation 1612 is performed by one or more computing devices. The formed 2-D image provides a template for adding anatomically adjusted construction lines and/or details to the garment that changes the perception of the identified features toward the appearance of the desired 3D body shape. In some aspects, the formed 2-D image provides thickness templates for different regions of the garment to change the perception of the identified features toward the appearance of the desired 3-D body shape. For example, FIG. 5E shows an example of a 2-D image of a selected flat pocket 500 (or a conventional pocket 500) and a 2-D image of an anatomically adjusted pocket 502 created using perspective projections from a 2-D depth map 570.
In some embodiments, the consumer may further adjust the anatomically adjusted construction lines and/or construction details formed during operation 1612. The input may come from an adjustment task in which the consumer may adjust the amount of adjustment to the simulated garment. For example, the consumer may move the slider left or right, with less adjustment simulated to the left and more adjustment simulated to the right. In another example, the consumer may move the slider left or right, with a smaller thickness simulated to the left and a larger thickness simulated to the right. The consumer preferences are then accumulated to inform the preferred amount of adjustment to apply to the construction lines and/or details during operation 1612.
At operation 1614, the garment is constructed and/or added to the already constructed garment with the adjusted construction lines and/or details based on the 2-D image. In some embodiments, the one or more determined construction lines and/or construction details are formed on the garment by machine and/or in an automated assembly process. In other embodiments, one or more determined construction lines and/or construction details are manually added to or constructed on the garment. In alternative embodiments, one or more of the identified construction lines and/or construction details are manually formed and formed via a machine.
In further aspects, at operation 1614, a garment is constructed and/or added to the already constructed garment with the desired thickness for each region of the garment based on the 2-D image. For example, if the garment contains cut-outs, the thickness, size, color, and/or shape of each cut-out may be adjusted. In another example, if the garment utilizes a yarn, the thickness of the yarn may be adjusted. For example, finer yarns may be used in areas that should be adjusted to be smaller, while coarser yarns may be used in areas that are expected to look larger.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 17, a method 1700 for designing an anatomically tailored garment is disclosed. The method 1700 includes: at operation 1702, a feature for anatomical adjustment is selected; at operation 1704, a desired appearance of the selected feature is determined; at operation 1706, based on the perception rules, determining one or more construction lines and/or details to change perception of the selected feature toward a desired appearance; and at operation 1708, adding the one or more determined construction lines and/or construction details to the garment. Operation 1706 may include determining the location, size, shape, and/or thickness of lines and/or details on the garment.
In some embodiments, during the determination of one or more construction lines and/or details, the amount of bending, angle, size, thickness, and/or positioning of the construction lines and/or details is determined or adjusted based on consumer feedback. For example, the amount of curvature, angle, positioning, thickness, and/or size of the construction lines and/or details can be determined by utilizing an adjustment task, wherein the consumer can adjust the amount of adjustment to the simulated garment. For example, the consumer may move the slider left or right, wherein less adjustment (increased size, increased thickness, and/or positional offset) is simulated to the left and more adjustment (decreased size, decreased thickness, and/or positional offset) is simulated to the right. Consumer preferences are then accumulated to inform the preferred amount of adjustment (size, thickness, and/or location) applied to the construction lines and/or details.
In an alternative embodiment, a method for designing or constructing an anatomically tailored garment is provided. The method comprises the following steps: identifying a desired 3-D body shape; converting the 3-D body shape into a 2-D depth map; identifying construction details and/or lines of the flat garment; positioning construction details and/or lines on a 2-D depth map of the garment; adjusting the construction details and/or lines with a position on the 2-D depth map to create adjusted construction details and/or lines; and creating a 2-D image of the adjusted construction details and/or lines using perspective projection; and constructing a garment with the adjusted construction details and/or lines based on the 2-D image of the adjusted construction details and/or lines.
In a further embodiment, as shown in fig. 18, a method 1800 for designing or constructing an anatomically tailored garment is provided. The method 1800 includes: at operation 1802, applying or curving a flat mesh around an actual 3D body shape and around a desired 3D body shape of a selected body feature to form two different curved meshes; at operation 1804, positioning selected construction lines and/or details over each mesh of the body shape; at operation 1806, finding an angular difference between curves of two different curved meshes at corresponding locations of the located construction details and/or lines (such as shape, thickness, curves, etc.) on each mesh; and at operation 1808, the construction lines and details at the corresponding grid locations are adjusted using the determined curve differences.
As discussed above, fig. 5E is a front plan view illustrating a conventional pocket 500 and an anatomically adapted pocket 502 in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure. Based on the process 1600, the conventional pocket 500 is adjusted to include an S-shaped curve on the inner edge 504, as shown by the anatomically adjusted pocket 502. In this embodiment, pocket 502 includes an inner edge 504 having a first curve 510 above a second curve 512. The first curve 510 of the inner edge 504 is arcuate toward the center 514 of the pocket 502, while the second curve of the inner edge 504 is arcuate away from the center 514 of the pocket 502.
Additionally, in this embodiment, the top edge 506 of the pocket 502 is curved to change the appearance of the wearer's buttocks. In other words, the pocket 502 includes a curved top edge 506 that arches away from the center 514 of the pocket 502. In this embodiment, based on the process 1600, the outer edge 508 of the pocket 502 is also curved to change the appearance of the wearer's buttocks. As such, the pocket 502 includes a curved outer edge 508 that bows away from the center 514 of the pocket 502. Additionally, the pocket 502 is asymmetric, with the outer edge 508 being shorter and/or rounded than the inner edge 504 to alter the perception of the wearer's buttocks. In other words, the curved outer edge 508 is longer than the inner edge 504 of the pocket 502. The curved top edge 506 of pocket 502 includes an inner end 515 and an outer end 516. The inner edge 504 of the pocket 502 includes an upper end 518 and a lower end 520. Upper end 518 and inner end 515 intersect to form an upper inner corner 524 on pocket 502. The outer edge 508 of the pocket 502 includes a top end 521 and a bottom end 522. The outer end 516 intersects the tip end 521 to form an upper outer corner 526. The lower end 520 and the bottom end 522 meet to form a lower corner 528.
Additionally, based on the process 1600, the emphasis details 530 of the conventional pocket 500 are also adjusted. Based on the process 1600, the inner curve 532 widens and increases in height, while the outer curve 534 is smaller in width but also increases in depth to change the perception of the wearer's buttocks.
In addition to determining the desired lines of construction for the pocket 502, the desired construction details (such as size and placement) of the pocket are also determined by process 1600. In this embodiment, the method 1600 reduces the pocket size and moves the position of the pocket upward and inward to change the perception of the buttocks when compared to conventional pocket size and placement.
As discussed above, in some embodiments, adaptive genetic algorithms may be utilized to determine the size and/or location of the constructed lines and/or details. The adaptive genetic algorithm utilizes data from individual test subjects to find the most desirable size and location of construction lines and/or details on the garment for a particular feature of the wearer. In this process, the subject is provided with a set of randomly different garments showing the particular features of the wearer (i.e., buttocks, chest, legs, waist, etc.) with various differently configured lines and details that change the appearance of these features of the wearer. The subject is then asked to select one or more garments from the group that most appeal or best embody the desired characteristics. The algorithm then selects a different new garment based on the previous selection, containing different construction lines and details to change the appearance of the wearer and ask the same subject to select again the garment or garments from the group that most appeal or best embody the desired features. Each construction line and/or detail is created specifically to change the appearance of the wearer based on perception rules. This process is repeatedly performed. In some embodiments, after approximately 20 generations or trials, the algorithm converges to the most attractive or desirable size and/or location of the construction lines and/or details of the garment located above or near the particular feature. However, any suitable system or method may be utilized for determining the location and/or size of the lines and/or details of construction for anatomical adjustment based on the perception rules.
In some embodiments, the distance between the upper interior corners 518 of the anatomically-adjusted pocket 502 is 2 to 3 inches, 1.75 to 3 inches, 2 to 2.75 inches, or 2.25 to 2.5 inches. In further embodiments, the distance between the outer end 516 and the york is 1 inch to 1.5 inches. In other embodiments, the height of each pocket 502 at the center 514 of each pocket 502 is 4 inches to 5.5 inches, 4 inches to 5 inches, 4.25 inches to 4.75 inches, or 4 inches to 9 inches. In further embodiments, each pocket 502 has a width at the top edge 506 of 4.5 to 5.5 inches or 4.5 to 7 inches. In other embodiments, the width of the pocket 502 at the center 514 is about 0.25 inches, 0.5 inches, or 0.75 inches less than the width at the top edge 506 of the pocket 502. In other embodiments, the distance between the inner end 515 to the york is 0.5 inches to 0.75 inches. In further aspects, table 1 below lists different sizes and placement sizes of the adjusted pockets above the hips of the wearer on the rear side of different pants styles adjusted with anatomical structures.
Surprisingly, it was found that the pocket placement, size and shape increased the applied wearer's appeal across a variety of pant sizes and styles with only minor differences, as shown in table 1 below. In addition, the placement, size and shape of the pockets have been found to increase the appeal of the applied wearer's hips in different ethnic and geographical areas (such as china and india) with only small differences.
In addition to pockets, other construction lines often appear on the back side of the garment, such as a york. As shown in fig. 3, the jacket 310 is a seam line on the rear side of the jeans 300, above the buttocks, or on the upper portion of the buttocks, and below the waist line 312 of the jeans 300. As used herein, a waist line refers to a horizontal line that extends around the garment at a location at or near the waist of the wearer when worn. In some embodiments, the waist line is a seam or line visible on the garment. In other embodiments, the waist line is an invisible line that can be drawn on the garment at or near the waist of the wearer when worn. In an alternative embodiment, the waist line is at least partially visible and at least partially invisible on the garment. For example, fig. 11 shows an invisible waist line 1109, and fig. 12 shows a visible waist line 1240. If a pocket is present, the york 310 is located above the pocket 306 and below the waist line 312 of the garment. Conventionally, the york 310 is a straight line as shown in fig. 3 and a straight line horizontally across the back of the garment, or two straight lines that are slightly downwardly inclined and meet at the center 314 of the back side of the garment to form a wide V-shape. Similar to the straight edges 308 of the pocket 306, the nurseries 310 appears to bend when the wearer 304 wears the straight nurseries 310 on the jeans 300. The brain interprets the curve and estimates the size and shape of the buttocks based on this curve.
Thus, in some embodiments, anatomical adjustments are made to the shape, size, and/or positioning of the york to change the perceived shape of the buttocks. In some embodiments, each side of the jacket is curved over the garment to change the perception of the buttocks and make the buttocks of the wearer look more rounded and/or lively, as shown in fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a rear view of a garment 600 showing an anatomically tailored york 602 to alter the perception of the wearer's buttocks, according to one aspect of the present disclosure. York 602 has a right curve 604 and a left curve 606. In this embodiment, the right curve 604 and the left curve 606 are each curved or bowed toward the waist line 608 of the garment 600. The right curve 604 and the left curve 606 each extend from a different side seam and are connected at a horizontal center 610 of the back side of the garment 600 to create a shape similar to a heart-shaped top or similar to a sweet-heart collar. In this embodiment, the york 602 alters the perception of the wearer's buttocks to appear more rounded and/or lively when compared to the same garment on the same wearer having a conventional york.
In some embodiments, the left curve 606 and the right curve 604 are closest to the waist line 608 of the garment, and are a distance of 2.5 inches to 4.25 inches, 3.75 inches to 3.5 inches, 3 inches to 3.75 inches, 0 inches to 8 inches, or from 3.25 inches to 4 inches from the horizontal center 610 of the back side. In further embodiments, each of the left curve 606 and the right curve 604 is a distance of 3 inches to 3.5 inches from the horizontal center 610 of the back side at 0.5 inches to 1.5 inches below the lower waist seam 614 of the waist line 608. In additional embodiments, each of the left curve 606 and the right curve 604 is spaced a distance of 1.5 inches to 2.25 inches or 17/8 inches to 1.75 inches from the lower waist seam 614 at the first side seam. In other embodiments, each of the left curve 606 and the right curve 604 is a distance of 0.5 to 1.5 inches or 0 to 5 inches from the lower waist seam 614 and a distance of 3 to 3.5 inches or 2.5 to 8 inches from the horizontal center 610 of the back side. In other respects, table 1 below lists different sizes and placement sizes of nurses positioned over or directly over the hips of wearers on the rear sides of different pants styles, adjusted with anatomical structures.
Fig. 7 is a rear view illustrating a pair of jeans 700 having a conventional pocket 702 and a conventional nursing pouch 704 on a first side 706, and an anatomically-adjusted pocket 708 and an anatomically-adjusted nursing pouch 710 on a second side 712 of a wearer 714, according to one aspect of the present disclosure. Fig. 7 shows how subtle modifications to the curves of the pocket 708 and the york 710 using the perception rules can cause the brain to perceive the same buttocks in very different ways. For example, even if the same person 714 wears both sides 706 and 712 of the jeans 700, the first side 706 with the conventional pocket 702 and the york 704 makes the buttocks appear flat, while the second side 712 with the anatomically-adjusted pocket 708 and the anatomically-adjusted york 710 makes the buttocks appear rounded and/or lively. In this way, the anatomically tailored pocket 708 and/or the anatomically tailored york 710 change the appearance of the wearer's buttocks to appear more rounded and/or lively when compared to the conventional pocket 702 and/or the conventional york 704. In some embodiments, the anatomically tailored pocket 708 and/or anatomically tailored york 710 change the appearance of the wearer's hips to look more attractive when compared to the conventional pocket 702 and/or conventional york 704.
While the anatomically adjusted pockets and nurses discussed above have been shown on pants, these anatomically adjusted construction lines and details can be applied to the rear side of a variety of different garments, such as skirts, shorts, briefs, coveralls, pants dresses, and dresses. For example, fig. 14 is a rear plan view showing a dress having an anatomically adjusted pocket 1402 and an anatomically adjusted york 1404 according to an aspect of the present disclosure. While the anatomically adjusted pockets and yolks discussed above focus on a desired range of circularity to increase attraction, any desired range/size of features can be utilized by anatomical adjustment to vary the perception of the buttocks toward the desired range/size of features with a perception rule. For example, the perception rules may be used to change the perception of the buttocks to move toward or fall within a desired size range, flatness range, and/or another shape range of the buttocks.
In addition to modifying or adjusting the construction lines and/or details already present on the garment, additional construction lines or construction details may be added to the garment for anatomical adjustment. For example, the side panels 802 on each side of a pair of pants 800 may taper in width from the waist line 804 to the bottom 806 and may make the legs of the wearer appear longer and/or more slender, as shown in FIG. 8. Fig. 8 is a left perspective view illustrating a pair of pants 800 including side panels 802 according to an aspect of the present disclosure. In some aspects, the side panels 802 may be used for anatomical adjustment of the wearer's legs. In this embodiment, the first side panel 802 may be formed between the first seam 808 and the second seam 810. A second side panel opposite the first side panel may be formed between the third seam and the fourth seam. In this embodiment, the width of the first side panels 802 and the second side panels gradually decreases from the waist line 804 to the bottom 806 of the pant 800. For example, the width near the waist line 816 is greater than the width near the vertical center 818 of the pant 800. In addition, the width near the waist line 816 and the width near the vertical center 818 of the pants are both greater and/or wider than the width near the bottom 820 of the pants 800. In some embodiments, the first and second side panels may utilize anatomical adjustment to make the wearer's leg appear longer, shorter, thinner, larger, and/or any other desired characteristic dimension of the leg of the garment wearer.
In some embodiments, the first and second side panels have a width of 1 to 2 inches at the waist line 816 of the pant and a width of 1/8 to 7/8 inches at the bottom 820 of the pant 800. In other embodiments, the first and second side panels have a width of 1 to 5 inches at the waist line 816 of the pant and a width of 1/8 to 37/8 inches at the bottom 820 of the pant 800. In some embodiments, each side panel is located on a side of the pant between the back side and the front side. In other embodiments, the side panels are at least partially located on the front or back side of the pant. In an alternative embodiment, each side panel is located entirely on the front or back side of the pant. In other embodiments, each side panel is located partially on the front side of the pant and partially on the back side of the pant. When the side panels are positioned on the back or front side of the pant, each side panel is located near or at the outermost edge of the back or front side.
While the construction lines and construction details described above focus on the legs and hips of the wearer, anatomical adjustments may also be applied to alter the perception of other features or areas of the wearer, such as the chest, torso, and/or waist. For example, fig. 9 shows a shirt 900 with a straight seam 902 and the same shirt 900 with an anatomically-adjusted seam 904 on the same person 906 according to one aspect of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, seams 924 on shirt 900 have been anatomically modified to increase the appearance of the rounding and/or size of the breasts or breasts of wearer 906. Thus, anatomically-adjusted seam 904 curves outward over the chest of wearer 906 or bows away from the horizontal center of shirt 900. Additionally, in this embodiment, seam 904 is straight above and below the chest of the wearer 906 of the garment. Thus, the seam 904 is curved or adjusted over or near the feature being adjusted (such as the breast in this embodiment).
Fig. 10-14 are front views of various garments illustrating different anatomical adjustment techniques for altering the perception of one or more features of a wearer. Fig. 19 is a front and rear view of a garment with cut-outs illustrating different anatomical adjustment techniques for altering the perception of one or more features of a wearer. Fig. 10 is a front plan view illustrating a shirt having anatomically tailored seams to change the appearance of the wearer's chest when worn in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, horizontal seam 1002 is located on garment 1000 above and/or near an upper portion of the wearer's chest when worn. The anatomically adjusted seam 1002 comprises a first curve 1004 and a second curve 1006 that bow away from a bottom 1008 of the garment 1000. In this embodiment, each curve 1004, 1006 is positioned to fall over or near the wearer's breast when worn. Thus, in some embodiments, the anatomically adjusted horizontal seam 1002 makes the breast appear more rounded and/or larger when compared to a shirt that utilizes a straight horizontal seam on the garment when worn. In further embodiments, the anatomically-adjusted horizontal seam 1002 makes the breast look more attractive when compared to a shirt that utilizes a straight horizontal seam on the garment when worn. In some embodiments, the thorax and/or waist is adjusted based on known suction characteristics determined and/or collected by the orthopaedic surgeon.
Fig. 11 is a front plan view illustrating a dress 1100 having anatomic adaptation seams 1102, 1103, 1104, 1122, and 1120 according to one aspect of the present disclosure. Similar to fig. 10, garment 1100 includes a horizontal anatomically adjusted seam 1104 that is located on dress 1100 above and/or near the upper portion of the wearer's chest when worn. The anatomically adjusted seam 1104 comprises a first curve 1106 and a second curve 1108 that are arcuate away from the wearer's waist line 1109 when worn. In this embodiment, each curve 1106, 1008 is positioned on garment 1100 at or near the wearer's breasts when worn. Similar to fig. 9, the dress 1100 also includes anatomically adjusted vertical seams 1102 and 1103 to change the appearance of the wearer's chest when worn. Anatomically adjusted vertical seams 1102 and 1103 begin at horizontal seam 1104 and curve out 1110, 1112 or bow away from the horizontal center of dress 1100 over and/or near the chest of the wearer. However, unlike the seam 904 in fig. 9, in this embodiment, the seams 1102 and 1103 continue to curve inwardly 1114, 1116 below the chest of the garment wearer 906. Curves 1114 and 1116 are bowed towards the vertical center of dress 1100. Curves 1114 and 1116 not only make the breasts appear more rounded and/or larger, but also make the waist of the wearer appear smaller.
Additionally, the vertical seams 1102 and 1103 each include a corresponding portion vertical seam 1122 and 1120. These corresponding seams 1122 and 1120 begin at the horizontal seam 1104 and extend downward and curve across the wearer's breasts. In addition, the width between seams 1122 and 1103 and between seams 1102 and 1120 gradually decreases from horizontal seam 1104 until the seams intersect, as shown in FIG. 11. Similar to the side panels 802 on the pants 800 discussed above, these anatomically tailored vertical seams 1120 and 1122 not only make the breasts appear more rounded and/or wider, but also can cause the wearer's breasts to appear vertically longer to the human brain due to the change in width.
Fig. 12 is a front plan view illustrating a dress 1200 having anatomically adjusted seams 1202, 1204, 1206, 1208, 1218, and 1220 according to one aspect of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the dress 1200 utilizes four separate vertical anatomically tailored seams 1202, 1204, 1206, 1208 to change the appearance of the wearer's chest or breast. In addition, the four separate vertical anatomically adjusted seams 1202, 1204, 1206, 1208 can reduce the size of the waist line and can make the torso of the wearer appear longer. In this embodiment, seams 1202 and 1206 form a first front seam panel 1203 and seams 1204 and 1208 form a second front seam panel 1205. Accordingly, the anatomically adjusted seams 1202, 1204, 1206, 1208 or the first and second front seam panels 1203, 1205 each include curves 1210, 1212, 1214, and 1216 that are arcuate away from the horizontal center of the dress 1200 over the chest of the wearer. In addition, in the present embodiment, the widths of the first front seam panel 1203 and the second front seam panel 1205 are gradually reduced from the top of each seam panel to the bottom of each seam panel. As such, the torso of the wearer may appear longer and/or slimmer. The four separate vertical anatomically adjusted seams 1202, 1204, 1206, 1208 each include an upper end and a lower end. The upper end portion is positioned closer to the outside of the front side than the lower end portion. Thus, the first front seam panel 1203 and the second front seam panel 1205 include slight second lower curves 1230, 1232, 1334, and 1236 that are arcuate toward the horizontal center of the garment. In this way, the waist of the wearer may appear smaller. Additionally, the dress 1200 includes a left horizontal curve 1220 and a right horizontal curve 1218 that span or are near the bust line of the wearer, which bow and slope downward toward the top of the dress 1200. As such, the breasts of the wearer of the dress 1200 appear more rounded and/or larger than dresses that utilize straight, horizontal lines across or near the chest of the wearer. Fig. 12 shows how different anatomically tailored construction lines and details are used in conjunction with and across different features.
Fig. 13 is a front plan view illustrating shirt 1300 with anatomically adjusted seams 1302, 1304, 1310, 1312 and pockets 1318, 1320 according to one aspect of the present disclosure. Fig. 13 shows another example of how different anatomically tailored construction lines and details can be combined and used across the same and different features. For example, the vertical seams 1302, 1304, 1310, 1312 and the pockets 1318, 1320 all make the wearer's breasts appear more rounded and/or larger. In addition, vertical seams 1302, 1304, 1310, and 1312 may also make the torso and/or breasts of the wearer appear longer. Vertical seams 1302 and 1304 extend downward from a top or top seam 1305 of shirt 1300 to a bottom 1307 of shirt 1300. When worn, each seam 1302 and 1304 bends 1308 and 1306 over and/or near the wearer's breast. Curves 1308 and 1306 are arcuate toward the exterior of shirt 1300. Each seam 1302 and 1304 includes a corresponding inner vertical seam 1310 and 1312 to form a left vertical panel 1342 and a right vertical panel 1340. Inner vertical seams 1310 and 1312 extend from top edges 1322 and 1324 of pockets 1320 and 1318 to bottom 1307 of shirt 1300. Additionally, when worn, the inner vertical seams 1310 and 1312 also span and/or are proximate to the wearer's breast curves 1314 and 1316. The width of sheets 1340 and 1342 gradually decreases from top edges 1322 and 1324 of pockets 1318 and 1320 to bottom 1307 of shirt 1300. For example, the width 1334 near the top of the sheet 1340 is greater than the width 1336 near the bottom 1307 of the sheet 1340. The curves 1306, 1308, 1314, and 1316 of the seams 1302, 1304, 1310, and 1312 make the wearer's breasts appear larger and/or more rounded. In addition, the gradual reduction in width of vertical panels 1340 and 1342 formed by seams 1302, 1304, 1310, and 1312 may make the torso of the wearer appear longer and/or more slender.
Shirt 1300 as shown in fig. 13 also includes left and right pockets 1320, 1318 that are positioned above and/or near the wearer's breasts when worn. Each of pockets 1318 and 1320 includes a top edge 1322, 1324, an inner edge 1328, 1330, an outer edge 1326, 1332, and a bottom edge 1338, 1339. As shown in FIG. 13, top edges 1322 and 1324 of pockets 1318 and 1320 are curved so that they bow toward top 1305 of shirt 1300. Curved top edges 1322 and 1324 make the breast appear more rounded and/or larger than straight top edges. In addition, both pockets 1318 and 1320 include inner edges 1328 and 1330 that are longer than their corresponding outer edges 1326 and 1332. Thus, the vertical height of the pockets 1318 and 1320 decreases from the inner edges 1328 and 1330 to the outer edges 1326 and 1332. This gradual reduction in the height of the pockets 1318 and 1320 may make the wearer's breasts appear wider and therefore larger when compared to pockets having a uniform height.
Fig. 19 is a front plan view 1902 and a rear plan view 1904 illustrating a jacket 1900 having anatomically adjusted grid cut edges 1906, 1908, 1910, 1912, 1914, 1916, 1918, 1920, 1922, 1924, and 1926 and anatomically adjusted thicknesses 1928, 1930, and 1932 in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure. Typically, the shape and thickness of the cut cells in a banded lattice jacket are uniform. As shown in fig. 19, the size, thickness, and shape of the anatomically tailored cut lattice edges vary in order to change the perception of the wearer's body shape toward the desired characteristic shape. For example, the edges of the lattice are anatomically adjusted based on anatomical regions, desired feature shapes, and/or perception rules. Grid cut edges 1906, 1908, 1910, 1916, 1918, and 1920 are in chest area 1934 and are anatomically adjusted to change the perception of the chest of the jacket wearer. For example, edges 1906 and 1916 slope downward, and edges 1908, 1910, 1918, and 1920 are curved and S-shaped. In addition, while the lattice cut and lattice cut edges terminate at the central zipper, in this embodiment each edge spans the zipper or has a mirror image edge on the other side of the zipper. For example, edge 1906 is a mirror image of edge 1916 positioned across or on the other side of the zipper, edge 1908 is a mirror image of edge 1918 positioned across the zipper, and edge 1910 is a mirror image of edge 1920 positioned across the zipper. Other areas of jacket 1900 include a mid torso region 1936, a waist region 1938, shoulder regions 1940, an upper back region 1942, and a lower back region 1944. The mid torso region 1936 has anatomically tailored edges 1912 and 1914. The waist region 1938 also has an anatomically tailored cut edge, such as edge 1922. The upper back region 1942 has a downwardly sloped grid cut edge 1924, and the lower back region 1944 has an upwardly sloped grid cut edge 1926. Each cut edge or a portion of a cut edge on the garment may be adapted by the anatomical structure to change the perception of the anatomical region toward the desired feature shape. For example, edges in the chest region 1934 may make the wearer's chest appear larger, and edges in the mid torso region 1936 and waist region 1938 may make these regions appear smaller or slimmer. In this example (fig. 19), the thickness of the cut grid is also adjusted by the anatomy to change the appearance of the wearer. For example, the thickness of the cut grid 1928 may be slightly increased to enlarge the size of the chest area 1934. In addition, the thickness of the cut lattices 1930 and 1932 may be reduced slightly to lighten the waist region 1938 and the mid-torso region 1914 of the wearer. However, the shape of the grid edges and/or the thickness of the grid may be adjusted using perceptual rules to achieve any desired shape of the anatomical region.
Fig. 21 is a front and rear plan view illustrating a lay-flat jacket 2100 having an anatomically adjusted cut lattice 2102 in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure. Zipper 2110 extends laterally downward at the central front portion of jacket 2100. For example, a plurality of cut panels 2102A over a chest area have curved edges 2104 to alter the appearance of the chest of a wearer of the jacket. In addition, the size of the several cutouts 2102A above the chest have been increased, while the size of the several cutouts above the waist 2102B have been adjusted or decreased to make the chest of the wearer appear larger and the waist of the wearer appear smaller. In this example, a curved seam 2106 is added that bends one edge of several cut-outs on the front, sides, and back of the jacket 2100. In addition, the side cut panels 2102C extending between two different curved seams 2106 have been provided with contrasting color patches 2108 to emphasize this adjustment feature. For example, the seam 2106 curves inward at the waist and slopes outward as the seam moves away from the waist. In addition, the adjusted side cutlet 2102C may have edges that slope downward and are adjusted in size and shape as shown by cutlet edge 2112.
Fig. 22-24 illustrate different views of two different jackets 2200 and 2202 being worn with anatomically-adjusted cut lattices 2204 in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 23, a zipper 2210 extends laterally downward at the central front portions of the two jackets 2200 and 2202. In jackets 2200 and 2202, a plurality of cut-outs 2204A above the chest area have curved edges 2205 to change the appearance of the chest of the wearer of jackets 2200 and 2202. Additionally, as shown in fig. 22 and 23, several panels 2204B have been sized to make the waist of the wearer appear smaller on both jackets 2200 and 2202. In addition, a curved seam 2206 is added in both jackets 2200 and 2202, which bends at least one edge of several cut lattices 2204 on the front, side and back of the jackets 2200 and 2202. Additionally, the side panels 2204C extending between the two distinct curved seams 2206 have been provided with contrasting color patches 2208 to emphasize this adjustment detail in the two jackets 2200 and 2202. For example, the seam 2206 curves inwardly at the waist and slopes outwardly as the seam moves away from the waist. As shown in fig. 24, the side cut lattice 2204C on the jacket 2200 slopes downward to change the perceived anatomy of the wearer. However, the side cuts 2204C on the sheath 2202 do not slope downward. In addition, as shown in fig. 22, several of the cut edges 2218 of the cut 2204D are curved to change the appearance of the wearer's hips on the jacket 2202. In contrast, the grid edges of the grid 2204E on the jacket 2200 above the buttocks are straight and not curved; however, the size or height of these cut-outs 2204E have been changed (e.g., increased) to change the appearance of the wearer's hip region. In both jackets 2200 and 2202, the size of the cut-out 2204F above the front hip region of the wearer has been changed to change the appearance of the wearer's hip for the jackets 2200 and 2202.
As described above, anatomically adjusted construction lines and details on the garment utilize perceptual rules to change the appearance of the features of the wearer. While the above examples adjust the curves, angles, widths, and/or heights of the construction lines and construction details or add construction lines and/or construction details to alter the perception of human features, these adjustments must be fine enough for the brain to interpret the adjusted lines and/or details as being created by the shape of the wearer rather than attributing them to the garment itself. For example, variations in construction lines and construction details that are too large or too extreme may be interpreted by the brain and attributed to the garment itself rather than the wearer. These types of changes are design choices and may not be a definition of anatomical adjustments.
Although anatomical adjustment has been described in detail with respect to particular features of a feminine garment, the principles discussed above for anatomical adjustment can be applied to various other feminine garments and various other male garments. Additionally, although the disclosed anatomically adjusted construction details and lines are discussed with respect to a particular garment and in the particular combinations above, any of the disclosed anatomically adjusted construction details and/or lines can be used on any desired garment, alone and/or in any combination. Additionally, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, additional anatomical adjustments in addition to those discussed above, in which lines and/or details are constructed, may be utilized to alter the appearance of the features discussed above. In addition, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, additional anatomical adjustments to construct lines and/or details may be utilized to alter the appearance of additional features not discussed above. Additionally, although the disclosed anatomically tailored construction details and lines are discussed above with respect to specific desired feature ranges and sizes, the appearance of the garment can be altered toward any desired feature range or size using perceptual rules.
