Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of garments and, more precisely, to an elastic garment having a tubular structure which, due to its elasticity, is suited to adhere to the body.
  • the elastic adherence of the garment to the body creates a compression which is distributed across the same in a way that is generally not homogeneous.
  • the compression exerted by some parts of the garment is, within certain limits, necessary (e.g. to sustain the garment) and in some cases is even desirable (e.g. when it fulfills a function of containment, as in the case of the body portion or girdle in a pantyhose).
  • the elastic band or waist-band of a pair of pantyhose has an elastic constant which is uniform for every portion of the same. That is, if one were to divide a waistband into equal portions, each portion would behave in the same way if it were subjected to an elastic stress. The more a portion of a waistband is stretched, the greater the elastic response and corresponding internal elastic tension will be, and, consequently, the greater the compressive force exerted on the corresponding part of the body will be. This means that the compression will be greater in correspondence with those particular areas of the body which contribute most to the tension of the waistband (i.e. generally the side areas).
  • the non uniform distribution of the compression generates effects that are sometimes bothersome, above all in relation to body shapes (e.g. more or less wide hips, more or less voluminous tummies, etc.) which do not conform to the standard adopted for each particular size.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an elastic garment, having an at least partially tubular structure, which is able to adapt itself perfectly to the body shape of the person who wears it, without exerting any undesirable local compression.
  • a particular object of the present invention is to provide a garment of the above-mentioned type, which comprises an elastic band suited to exercise an intensity of compression which is appropriate and differentiated with respect to the various body portions around which it is wrapped.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a garment of the above-mentioned type in the form of a pair of pantyhose with an elastic waistband suited to exert a lower compression in correspondence with the hips while exerting a higher compression with respect to the tummy.
  • waistband 2 is composed of a number of consecutive portions having different elastic constants.
  • Side portions 2a have an elastic constant which is lower than that of front portion 2b and back portion 2c.
  • the waistband can be considered equivalent to a closed system of springs having different elastic constants. If it is stretched, an elastic reaction force develops inside the system of springs and is directed along the nearly circular form of the system.
  • the radial compression which is created in a certain predetermined area results from the composition of the elastic forces -exercised point by point in that particular area. Therefore, with respect to a standard waistband (i.e. having a uniform elastic constant), the waistband having differentiated compressions or, in other words, a different elastic constant from one area to the next according to the invention is able to adapt perfectly to the shape of the body, optimizing the compression in the various points. This situation is shown in figure 2 in which one can clearly see that the forces of elastic compression in the sides are decreased, whereas they are increased in the front and back portions.
  • an elastic waistband can be realized with a different number of portions having different elastic constants and arranged differently from the ones illustrated in figure 2, with the object of obtaining particular effects.
  • continuous bands formed by consecutive portions having different elastic constants can be provided both on the girdle and on other parts of the pantyhose where, in particular, the system having different radial compressions according to the invention can be combined with the traditional system of differentiated longitudinal compression, thus obtaining an integrated system of differentiated three-dimensional compression.
  • the elastic garment with a continuous band, or more in particular, with a waistband composed of portions having different elastic constants can be realized with the use of known technologies.
  • a particular type of stitch can be used so that the corresponding area is more elastic or, in other words, for a determined amount of stretching of the area in question, the elastic reaction is weaker.
  • the nullification of the elastic effect of the elastomer in the area in which a weak compression effect is desirable can also be obtained by inserting a particularly inelastic yarn during knitting in order to impede the stretching of the elastomer and therefore nullify the elastic reaction in that particular area (e.g. the side area).
  • additional elastomer can be inserted in the stitch, thus creating an area in which the elastic constant and corresponding elastic reaction are greater.
