Technical Field
-
The present invention relates to a mechanism for supporting and
correcting a human body such as the breasts, the abdomen, and the buttocks,
etc., and a clothing provided with the mechanism; and the invention
specifically relates to a mechanism that, using an expandable material,
prevents healthily a suspension or a deformation in accordance with a body
form characteristics and an operational mechanism and a physiological
mechanism, and supports, corrects, and reforms a human body in a stable
shape, and a clothing provided with the mechanism.
-
Further, the invention relates to a mechanism for supporting and
correcting the lower parts of the abdomen and the buttocks, and a clothing
provided with the mechanism.
-
More concretely, any one of the mechanisms and the clothing
assumes the median shape as the design reference, uses an expandable
material, pinches the regions that need a support and correction, such as the
lower sides of the breasts, the abdomen, and the buttocks, etc., that are likely
to be hung down and deformed, forms a plane jointly with plural regions
facing to the regions, adjusts the size, the shape, and the reduction rate
thereof. During wearing, correlative tensile (tense) relations are produced
over the whole mechanism by the original form recovering property of the
expandable material, and an appropriate pressure is exerted to the lower
sides of the breasts, the abdomen, and the buttocks, etc., that are likely to
create a suspension and a deformation, which produces an effect of the
support and correction to neatly fit to a body form. The invention relates to a
mechanism for supporting, correcting, and rectifying the breasts, the
abdomen, and the buttocks by means of the foregoing effect and the body form
characteristics of a wearer, and a clothing provided with the same.
Background Technology
-
There are differences among individuals in the breasts, depending on
the degree of physical growth, the size thereof and the state that the muscles
and fats are put thereon, and the like. The breasts are inclined to be drawn
near the armpits as shown in Fig. 13, and to be hung down as shown by the
arrow Y in Fig. 14. Further, the breasts projects out from the chest, and
during exercise they are apt to produce motional differences from the motion
of a human body and create a harmful effect such as a swing or a
deformation. If such a swing or a deformation of the breasts is left as it is, it
will cause a possibility of damaging the sound and stable growth in the breast
tissue, and a tendency to invite a distorted deformation, which is a problem.
-
Accordingly, in order to maintain the sound growth in the breast
tissues and prevent the deformation, there are various brassiere products
available in the market, which claim to provide a function for correcting the
breasts.
-
As shown in Fig. 17 and Fig. 18, more than 80 % of these brassiere
products are provided with a semi-circular mold 31 made of a wire, a cup 32
made of an urethane resin or the like, and a pad 34, and around the shoulders
and chest they are provided with a shoulder string 35 by a rubber material or
the like and a tightening part 33.
-
The conventional brassiere (or clothing with a brassiere) is disclosed
in, for example, the Japanese Published Unexamined Utility Model
Application No. Hei 6-83712, No. Hei 6-79707, the Japanese Published
Examined Utility Model Application No. Sho 58-15443, and the Japanese
Published Examined Patent Application No. Hei 5-77761.
-
The clothing having cups to catch the breasts disclosed in the
Japanese Published Unexamined Utility Model Application No. Hei 6-83712
has a structure in which wire cups and cups are sewn to the parts hollowed in
a shape of the breasts on the lower sides of the breasts, on the plate
tightening part surrounding the lower chest, the armpits, and the back.
-
This brassiere is claimed to gain the effect to push up the bust, since
the wire cups and the cups push up the breasts from the lower part thereof
and the shoulder strings pull up the breasts toward the shoulders.
-
The brassiere disclosed in the Japanese Published Unexamined
Utility Model Application No. Hei 6-79707 is the so-called "push-up type
brassiere", in which thick pads are installed on the curved parts under the
cups. This brassiere thrusts out the breasts front toward the center by the
pads, and thereby shows the chest between the breasts deeper and effects to
display the breasts larger.
-
The brassiere disclosed in the Japanese Published Examined Utility
Model Application No. Sho 58-15443 is the so-called "sport brassiere", in
which a guiding ring is formed on the rear center upper edge of the rear
patch, a shoulder string coupled with one cup is passed through the guiding
ring, and the shoulder string is coupled with the other cup.
-
In the clothing structure disclosed in the Japanese Published
Examined Patent Application No. Hei 5-77761, the clothing is provided with
an expandable part that expands in the same direction of the muscular action
of a human body on wearing, and the expandable part enhances the wearing
feeling, excels motions, and exhibits the function to support and correct the
human body.
-
However, in the clothing having cups to catch the breasts disclosed in
the Japanese Published Unexamined Utility Model Application No. Hei 6-83712,
the wire cups and the cups are fixed to the tightening part placed
surrounding the lower sides of the breasts, and the shoulder strings coupled
with the wire cups and the cups are fixed to the foregoing tightening part by
way of the shoulders and the back. Accordingly, the wire cups and the cups
push up the breasts, and when pulling up by the shoulder strings, the
tightening part also creeps up, which is a problem. In order to prevent this
creeping-up, it is necessary to strengthen the tightening still more by the
tightening part. However, to do that will make the clothing unhealthy in
reverse, which will make it difficult to push up the breasts, thus creating an
extremely contradictory problem.
-
The brassiere disclosed in the Japanese Published Unexamined
Utility Model Application No. Hei 6-79707 improves an external shape
during wearing; however, the breasts are pressured by the wire cups and the
cups inside the brassiere, which increases unwholesomeness to the breasts
and distorts the breasts in a ugly-looking shape. Further, in both the above
brassieres, the tightening is heavy, and the wire cups bite the body, which
presents a problem that they can only give a poor fitting feeling.
-
The brassiere disclosed in the Japanese Published Examined Utility
Model Application No. Sho 58-15443 forms a simple covering shape, and
since the expandability of the material during wearing pressures the whole
bust, as shown in Fig. 16, the pressure is applied on the whole breasts
including the nipples, the breasts are made flat accordingly, and a beautiful
silhouette cannot be obtained, which is a problem.
-
These brassieres use very many components from 10 to 50, and take a
great deal of time on production, which is disadvantageous.
-
In the clothing structure disclosed in the Japanese Published
Examined Patent Application No. Hei 5-77761, the shape of the expandable
core belt disposed along the direction of the muscular lines of the greater
pectoral on the bust is able to display the fitting and movement performance
coincident to the muscular line direction; however, it is not able to
sufficiently support and correct the protruded breasts which are located
overlying the greater pectoral in conformity with the size and swing thereof,
which is a problem.
-
The bottom of a human body is structured such that the pelvis and
the glenoid cavity (acetabulum) of the pelvis accept the right and left
thighbones, the abdomen is equipped with the abdominal rectus and the
external oblique muscles on both the sides thereof, the thighs and the
buttocks are equipped on the right and left each with the femoral straight
muscles, sartorius muscles, quadriceps, and great gluteal muscles, and
accompanied with these, the vascular tissue, lymphatic tissue, nervous
tissue, and fatty tissue are minutely connected thereto.
-
The bottom is a part that forms the base of a body movement, and the
action characteristics is formed also independently of the right and left.
Besides, the waists and the buttocks are the pivotal part of the physiological
mechanism. Therefore, the supply and wearing of unreasonable and
unwholesome products must be avoided as far as possible.
-
The muscular tissue and the fatty tissue are likely to cause
development and decrement of the tissue, in accordance with the frequency of
exercises and various movements or the aging, and accordingly the shape of
the bottom is inclined to vary. From these circumstances, there are many
"girdle" products available in the market, which perform the shape-up
function that suppresses a swelling of the abdomen, and compensate a
suspension and a deformation of the buttocks.
-
When these products are examined, it is found in the majority of the
products that the girdle body itself does not match the shapes of the crotch
and buttocks and buttocks-lining part, and the design assumes a flat
structure. In addition, correction members are partially attached or disposed
on a part of the abdomen or on parts of the buttocks. Besides in most of the
products, members disposed on the lower parts of the right and left buttocks
are sutured each other on the center of the lower part thereof. Moreover, the
wearing system depends on an unwholesome tightening. Therefore, the
waists and the surrounding parts thereof are tightened intensely, and the
swollen abdomen remains as is only to recess the back. Also, the so-called
correcting members that are mutually sutured and disposed on the lower
part of the right and left buttocks create such an ugly shape that the right
and left buttocks are united into one as if a diaper were worn. Further, the
members invite a state that the crotch and buttocks-lining part are
disengaged from the bottom shape, which is out of shape. Therefore, the
shape-up effect of the right and left buttocks cannot be expected. And, many
of them have a tendency that the hems of the lower parts of the buttocks
creep up or shift toward the buttocks-lining part, accompanied with
movements.
-
It has been considered difficult in the girdle products to achieve a
close contact with the crotch and the buttocks-lining part on wearing. In
spite of that, many proposals to acquire a close contact with the crotch and
the buttocks-lining part have been applied for. There are products including,
for example, a proposal in which a piece of texture having the same shape as
the so-called T-back shorts is provided on a part equivalent to the buttocks-lining
part, and a proposal in which rubber strings are sutured on the lower
part of the buttocks-lining part to contract the texture and make a slight
depression.
-
However, in any one of the aforementioned proposals, the fitness to
the parts of the bottom has not been achieved in practice.
-
Also in the sanitary shorts products, the design cut system is similar
to that in the girdle products, and there are many products that do not fit to
the crotch and the buttocks-lining part. Therefore, if a user wears such a
sanitary product and makes usual movements, the sanitary product is likely
to disengage from the vulva and the anus, and a displacement or a leakage
will be a consequence, which is a problem.
-
In order to verify such imperfections of the conventional products, a
trial to restore the cut form of the conventional product into a cut paper and
form the three-dimensional image thereof was made, and it was found that
the cut form itself is completely different from the bottom shape and presents
an extremely flat structure. That is, the swollen parts of the right and left
buttocks as well as the depression of the buttocks-lining part, and still more
the shape of the crotch were not reproduced, which confirms the reason of the
conventional products not fitting to the shape of the bottom, and the
irrationality thereof.
-
Hereunder, the concrete examples will be shown.
-
Fig. 31 illustrates a cut form of a girdle product that was on sale in
1998, in Japan, and a typical chart thereof, in which (1) shows cut parts and
components of rubber materials, etc. (2) is a typical chart illustrating that
the cut parts shown in (1) are joined and assembled, in which A is a front
view and C is a back view. (3) is a typical chart illustrating that the girdle
product shown in (2) is cut out on the center line, in which A is a front view
and C is a back view.
-
In the girdle product shown in Fig. 31, the front and back bodies are
formed in a completely flat plane. And, the center line part is formed longer
than the right and left peak line buttock protrusions. Therefore, it is seen
that the center line dividing the right and left goes greatly off from the
median level, and does not fit on the buttocks-lining part to be detached
therefrom. This can be confirmed more clearly by wearing.
-
Fig. 32 illustrates a state by a symbol 23 (colored parts), in which the
fitness becomes incomplete on wearing the conventional girdle product
shown in Fig. 31, so that the product is detached from the crotch and the
buttocks-lining part. Most of the conventional girdle products show such a
state.
-
Fig. 33 illustrates a core material having a high tension (power net
fabric or woven and knitted fabric) which is attached to the lower buttocks of
the conventional girdle product shown in Fig. 31, and an action
characteristics thereof.
-
In Fig. 33, the part having a high tension which is provided by the
core material (power net fabric or woven and knitted fabric) is allocated from
the buttock furrow to the lower buttocks and to the waists by way of the
buttock regions, and the right and left parts are sutured at the buttock
furrow.
-
In this manner, when right and left expandable core materials are
sutured and allocated near the buttocks-lining part, the property to recover
the original form is exerted on the expandable core materials, which effects to
unite the right and left buttocks into one from the lower and the side parts,
and displays an ugly buttock shape as if a diaper, were worn.
-
And, no matter how the expandable core materials are allocated, as
far as the design of the girdle lacks the fitness to the various parts of the
bottom as the conventional products, it will produce a displacement, a
loosening, or a bite, which makes it impossible to obtain a desired correcting
effect.
-
This applies not only to the girdle products, but to all the bottom
products. Conventionally, the one-piece form swimming wear, leotard, and
bodysuit, etc., lack the appropriateness of movement, and is likely to produce
a tensing, loosening, tightening, and biting, and also on movement a
creeping-up on the lower buttocks, since the body balance of the upper half
and the lower half is of infinite variety, and besides the ratio of the size of a
human body against the wearing size of a clothing is set less than 80 %,
around 70 %, which is extremely on the small side. Moreover, since the
products advertised as having the correcting function make use of many
wires, cups, core materials, and rubber materials, etc., when a user wears
any one of them and moves, the tightening gives the user a pain, makes the
blood circulation and physical condition get out of shape, and makes the nude
bust and hips look ugly and distorted in most cases, which is a problem.
-
Fig. 40 is a plan view illustrating an example of a cut form of a
conventional one-piece form swimming wear, and Fig. 41 is a typical chart in
which the cut form of the one-piece form swimming wear is shown three-dimensionally.
A illustrates the right side of the front part, C illustrates the
right side of the back part, and D illustrates a state that the front part shown
in A and the back part shown in C are united.
-
As shown in Fig. 40, in the conventional one-piece form swimming
wear, any three-dimensional considerations based on the shape of the right
and left busts are not seen around the bust position on the front part, and
simply the right and left breadth is set slightly larger.
-
Also in the lower half of the body, simply the breadth at the waist
position is set slightly larger, and any three-dimensional considerations
based on the shape of the right and left buttocks are not seen. The part
corresponding to the median is shown by the symbol 11B, which is set by far
the longer than the other parts.
-
And as shown in Fig. 41, in the conventional one-piece form
swimming wear, the part corresponding to the median is set longer than the
length at the top position of the right and left busts in parallel to the part,
and longer than the length at the position of the protruded parts of the hips.
On top of that, there is not any three-dimensional treatment corresponding to
the swelling shapes of the right and left busts and hips. When actually
wearing, the right and left busts are made flat by the expandable material,
the hip part does not fit to the buttocks-lining part, and the right and left hips
present such an ugly shape that the right and left hips are united into one as
if a diaper were worn. Also on movement, the hems at the lower hips creep up
or bite the buttocks-lining parts.
Disclosure of the Invention
-
The present invention considers it as the task to solve the problems
that these conventional proposals and conventional products embrace and
achieve a more reasonable and wholesome supporting, correcting and
rectifying mechanism of a human body, and a clothing mechanism provided
with the same. And, it is therefore an object of the invention to realize a
product that is excellent in the adaptability to the body form characteristics,
the physiological tissue, and the body movements, and in the wearing feeling.
-
The supporting, correcting and rectifying mechanism of a human
body, and the clothing mechanism provided with the same relating to the
invention regard the body form characteristics and the median shape as the
design reference, and the mechanism uses an expandable material (thread),
pinch the regions that need a support and a correction, such as the fan-shaped
areas including the lower sides of the breasts and the armpit sides
thereof, the abdomen, and the buttocks, etc., that are likely to hang down and
deform, form a plane jointly with plural regions facing to the regions, adjust
the size, the shape, and the reduction rate thereof. Thereby, correlative
(interactive) tensile (tense) relations are produced between the body form and
the mechanism and inside the mechanism, and a necessary pressure is
exerted to the foregoing region by the body form characteristics and the
movements of a wearer, thus achieving a healthy supporting and correcting
effects.
-
The front part in the foregoing mechanism 1 on the upper half body
pinches the fan-shaped areas that are likely to produce a suspension and a
deformation of the breasts, uses an expandable material on the front center
region, armpit regions, shoulder regions that face the fan-shaped areas,
forms a plane by adjusting the size, shape, and reduction rate of the material
to produce and effect a tensile (tense) relation, unites the right and left sides
of the body on the front center, whereby the upper parts from the nipples are
made open.
-
The front part in the foregoing mechanism 2 on the upper half body
pinches the fan-shaped areas that are likely to produce a suspension and a
deformation of the breasts, uses an expandable material on the front center
region, armpit regions, shoulder regions that face the fan-shaped areas,
forms a plane by adjusting the size, shape, and reduction rate of the material
to produce and effect a tensile (tense) relation, provides change-over darts
from the nipples to the front center region, forms covering parts that cover
the nipples and the upper sides of the nipples reaching to the shoulders,
unites the right and left sides of the body on the front center, and thereby
effects a support and a correction of the breasts, and fits the front center part
thereof to the recess between the breasts in conformity with the median
shape.
-
In the front part in the foregoing mechanism 2 on the upper half
body, the reduction rate relating to the shape and the size of the covering
parts that cover the nipples and the upper sides of the nipples is set lower
than that of the shape of the lower sides thereof.
-
Further, in the foregoing front part, the reduction rate relating to the
shape and the size of the material from the lower sides of the breasts toward
the nipples is increased so as to increase the plane supporting pressure near
the lower breasts, and the reduction rate toward the nipples is decreased so
as to gradually weaken the supporting pressure toward the nipples.
-
The foregoing mechanism 3 on the upper half body uses an
expandable material, extends the material from the lower sides of the right
and left breasts toward both the sides of the armpits and extends the
material toward the shoulders from the lower sides of the right and left
breasts by way of the fan-shaped areas that are likely to produce a
suspension and a deformation of the breasts, and thereby forms a plane. The
mechanism is mounted by the adhesive applied in advance on the peripheries
and lower sides of the right and left breasts and on the extended regions to
thereby support the lower sides of the breasts, and to support and correct the
breasts.
-
Further, the supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts
made up with only the front part uses an expandable material, extends the
material toward both the armpits continuously by way of the lower sides of
the right and left breasts and extends the material toward both the shoulders
from the lower sides of the right and left breasts by way of the fan-shaped
areas and the armpit regions, and forms a plane. The mechanism is
mounted, while stretching the material to the above extended directions,
with the adhesives applied in advance on the front center region, the lower
sides and peripheries of the breasts, and the extended regions, whereby a
pressure is exerted to the lower sides and fan-shaped areas of the breasts to
achieve a support and a correction of the breasts.
-
The bottom mechanism of the invention uses an expandable material
(thread), has the front and back parts and/or the right and left parts, regards
the body form characteristics and the median shape as the design reference,
and forms a plane in close contact with various parts of the bottom. The
mechanism pinches the regions that need a support and a correction, such as
the abdomen and the lower buttocks, which are likely to produce a
suspension and a deformation due to the decline of the muscles and the
adhesion of fats and the like, and forms a plane jointly with plural regions
facing to the regions. Thereby, the mechanism produces the correlative
tensile (tense) relations between the body and the mechanism and inside the
mechanism, and exerts a necessary pressure to the abdomen and the lower
buttocks, etc., that need a support and a correction in accordance with the
body form characteristics and the movements of a wearer, thus achieving a
healthy support and correction without a displacement or a loosening.
-
This bottom mechanism is provided with cut lines of the front and
back, right and left parts in conformity with the median shape, forms the
crotch region and the vicinity thereof located on both sides of the median
shape of the right and left parts in a concave shape that they are largely
separated before being joined, forms them in a shape to conform with the
shapes of the crotch region and the right and left thighs by being joined. On
wearing, the bottom mechanism has a close contact with the abdomen, crotch
region, lower sides of the buttocks, buttock cleft, and the whole buttocks,
exerts a pressure to the abdomen and the lower sides of the buttocks, and
thereby achieves a support and a correction of the abdomen and the lower
sides of the buttocks.
-
Further, the bottom mechanism relating to the invention is provided
with a cut line of the back part based on the median shape to form the right
and left back parts, forms the front part in a shape to conform with the
median shape, forms the front part in one plane without dividing it into right
and left, unites the front and back parts individually in the crotch
corresponding regions, and thereby completes the abdomen neatly, reduces a
deformation, fits the parts to the buttock cleft closely, thus achieving the
effect of supporting and correcting the abdomen and the lower sides of the
buttocks.
-
The bottom mechanism including the thighs as well as the abdomen
and the lower sides of the buttocks includes cut lines of the front and back,
right and left parts based on the median shape, makes the cut form of the
crotch region and the vicinity thereof located on both sides of the median
shape of the right and left, front and back parts so as to mutually swell out
both the sides near the median shape in the crotch before being joined, and
forms them in a shape to conform with the shape on movements between the
crotch and the right and left thighs. The mechanism does not produce a
displacement or a loosening during movements, and always achieves the
effect of supporting and correcting the abdomen and the lower sides of the
buttocks.
-
Further, the bottom mechanism includes one that allocates an
expandable core material having a specified breadth to the abdomen region
including the front ilia and the groins of the front part, further to the regions
between the crotch and the thighs of the right and left parts, and also to the
buttock furrows, lower buttocks, and hip sides of the back part, and each
reaches to the front center of the abdomen.
-
Furthermore, the bottom mechanism includes one such that the front
part of the expandable core material extends from the right and left front ilia
and the vicinities thereof, by way of the hips, the lower sides of the buttocks,
further to the buttock furrows, and reaches to the crotch region along the
right and left thighs, and on the side of the abdomen, and the whole abdomen
covering from the right and left groins reaching to both the front ilia is
formed in one plane.
-
Further, the invention may take on a construction such that the
support and correction mechanism of the breasts and the support and
correction mechanism of the abdomen and the lower buttocks are integrally
formed in a one-piece.
-
The one-piece form clothing mechanism may provide cut lines of the
front and back, right and left parts in conformity with the median shape.
-
Also, the one-piece form mechanism may have a structure, in which
the cut line of the front and back parts on the upper half body is provided in
conformity with the median shape, the regions from the breasts reaching to
the back are formed in one plane, the front part on the lower half body is
formed in one plane, the back part is divided into the right and left parts by
providing a cut line in conformity with the median shape, and the parts each
are joined.
-
Also, the one-piece form clothing mechanism may allocate the
expandable core material to the places mentioned above.
-
The bottom mechanism including the abdomen and the buttocks may
provide change-over darts in the regions from the hems of the lower buttocks
reaching to the peak line buttock protrusions.
-
Also, the bottom mechanism including the abdomen and the buttocks
may provide cut lines from the hems of the lower buttocks, by way of the peak
line buttock protrusions, reaching to the waists.
-
The bottom mechanism including the abdomen and the buttocks may
have a structure such that the right and left, front and back parts are not
provided with the darts or the cut lines reaching to the peak line buttock
protrusions, and the cut form is made to add the shapes of the peak line
buttock protrusions and the corresponding quantities to the texture shape
and size on the hip sides of the right and left parts.
-
In each of the foregoing mechanisms, the ratio of the size of the
mechanism formed by cutting and joining against the size of the human body
may be set more than 80 %, less than 100 %.
-
In each of the foregoing mechanisms of the upper half side, the
bottom side, the one-piece form, and the clothing, the plane is formed by the
expandable material. However, utilizing a weaving technique using
expandable threads, the plane may be formed by adjusting a shape, tensile
(tense) relation, and a pressure into a desired ones.
-
In each of the mechanisms provided with the bottom mechanism, a
support part allowing a physiological sanitary product to be mounted may be
provided at specific positions of the vulva and the anus in the crotch.
-
Concretely, the invention provides a supporting and correcting
mechanism of the breasts, which is made up with an expandable material
and is provided with the front and back parts. The front part is formed
continuously in one plane with the nipples as the peaks that are likely to be
hung down and deformed, which includes the fan-shaped areas covering from
the front center and the vicinity, via the under busts, reaching to the upper
armpit regions, pinches the fan-shaped areas, and covers the front center
region, armpit regions, and shoulder regions that face the fan-shaped areas.
The mechanism is made such that the upper sides from the nipples and the
front center regions are open.
-
The supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts provided
with this construction, when it is worn, pinches the fan-shaped areas,
produces tensile (tense) relations over the whole plane mechanism joining
plural regions that face the fan-shaped areas. Thus, the mechanism gives a
wearer a comfortable wearing feeling, gradually weakens the pressure from
the lower sides of the breasts toward the nipples, and supports the under-busts
securely, whereby beautiful nude busts toward the nipples can be
realized.
-
Further, the invention provides a supporting and correcting
mechanism of the breasts, which is made up with an expandable material
and is provided with the front and back parts. The front part pinches the
fan-shaped areas, forms a plane jointly with the areas covering from the
shoulder regions and armpit regions, reaching to front center. The front part
provides change-over darts reaching to the front center region with the
nipples as the peaks, and provides covering parts that cover areas including
the nipples and the upper sides of the nipples, reaching to the front center. In
this mechanism, the reduction rate of the size in the covering parts is set
smaller than that in the plane formed areas including the fan-shaped areas,
in regard to the size of a wearer. Therefore, the plane formed areas including
the fan-shaped areas effect to support and correct the breasts, and the
provision of the covering parts covers the nipples and fits the front center
sides to the median.
-
The supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts provided
with this construction, when it is worn, is able to voluntarily reduce the size
ratio against a wearer's size. Therefore, the original form recovering
property of the material produces the tensile (tense) relation over the whole
mechanism, which exerts a pressure to the lower sides of the breasts and the
fan-shaped parts to securely support and correct the breasts and give a
comfortable wearing feeling to the wearer. Further, since the reduction rate
in the covering parts to the wearer is formed smaller than that in the plane
formed areas including the fan-shaped parts, the pressure applied to the
covering parts gradually weakens, which maintains the shape of the breasts
naturally beautifully.
-
The supporting and correcting mechanism of the upper half body is
formed with the reduction rate of more than 80 %, less than 100 % to the size
of a wearer, and it is preferable to be closer to the body size (100 %).
-
The supporting and correcting mechanism of the upper half body is
able to set the reduction rate to gradually decrease from the lower sides of the
breasts toward the nipples. Thereby, the pressure applied to the nipples
gradually weakens from the lower sides of the breasts toward the nipples,
accordingly the lower sides of the breasts and the fan-shaped parts can be
supported securely, and the whole breasts can be supported and corrected in
a natural beautiful manner.
-
In order to securely support the lower sides of the breasts, the tension
in the region from the shoulder region by way of the armpit side of the fan-shaped
area reaching to the front part, and the tension in the region from the
armpit side by way of the lower side of the breast reaching to the front center
have to be raised, and the reduction rates in these regions have to be raised in
comparison to the other regions. This can be accomplished by making the
shape of the front center short, forming the right and left shapes in the front
center region to be recessed to each other, and joining.
-
The right and left front parts can be joined on the front center. This
can be done by suturing or by a joint member such as a button or a hook, or it
may be done by being joined in advance (being seamless).
-
And, the covering parts may be formed with optional darts from the
nipples reaching to the front center, or they may be joined in advance
(seamless).
-
Further, the invention provides a clothing that is provided with at
least the right and left front parts at specific positions. The clothing provided
with this construction is able to support and correct the bust in a natural
beautiful manner, when a correction underwear such as a brassiere or a body
suit is not worn separately.
-
Further, the invention provides a supporting and correcting
mechanism of the abdomen and the buttocks, and a clothing mechanism
provided with the same, in which the whole mechanism is brought to close
contact with the body in conformity with the shapes of the bottom parts, and
the wearing produces tensile (tense) relations over the whole mechanism.
The tensile relations exert a necessary and appropriate pressure to the
abdomen and the lower buttocks, and effect to support and correct the
abdomen and the buttocks, whereby the mechanism is neatly fit to the crotch
and the buttock cleft to remove a displacement or a loosening.
-
The invention provides a supporting and correcting mechanism of the
bottom that uses an expandable material and includes cut lines of the right
and left parts in conformity with the median shape. The right and left parts
that pinch the median form the crotch region and the neighborhood thereof in
a shape that they are separated each other before being joined, form them in
a shape to conform with the shape between the crotch and the right and left
thighs by being joined, provide change-over darts in regions from the buttock
protrusions on the peak line buttock protrusions reaching to the lower sides
of the buttocks to form the regions in shapes to conform with the shapes of the
buttocks, whereby, on wearing, tensile (tense) relations are produced over the
whole mechanism to bring the parts into a close contact with the bottom
areas including the buttock cleft and exert a pressure that prompts correction
to the abdomen and the lower sides of the buttocks.
-
The bottom mechanism provided with this construction produces an
interactive effect between a human body and the bottom mechanism with the
median as the reference, and tensile (tense) relations inside the mechanism.
Thereby, the bottom mechanism does not need any unhealthy materials and
processing other than the expandable material, which achieves more
comfortable wholesome supporting and correcting mechanism of the bottom
by utilizing the body characteristics of a wearer.
-
The bottom mechanism, when it is worn, produces the tensile (tense)
relations over the whole mechanism, brings a close contact with the bottom
parts of a human body, exerts a pressure to the abdomen and the lower parts
of the buttocks, supports and corrects the bottom parts appropriately, and
neatly fits to the crotch and the buttock cleft.
-
The invention provides a supporting and correcting mechanism of the
bottom that uses an expandable material and includes cut lines of the right
and left parts in conformity with the median shape. The right and left parts
that pinch the median form the crotch region and the neighborhood thereof in
a shape that they are separated each other before being joined, form them in
a shape to conform with the shape between the crotch and the right and left
thighs by being joined, provide cut lines in the regions from the hems of the
lower buttocks by way of the buttock protrusions on the peak line buttock
protrusions reaching to the hips, and forms the regions in shapes to conform
with the shapes of the buttocks. When it is worn, the tensile (tense) relations
are produced over the whole mechanism to bring the parts into a close contact
with the bottom areas and exert a pressure that prompts correction to the
abdomen and the lower sides of the buttocks, thus shaping up the buttocks
beautifully.
-
Further, in this bottom mechanism the right and left parts can be
divided into the front and back parts in the crotch.
-
And, the invention provides a supporting and correcting mechanism
of the bottom that uses an expandable material and includes cut lines of the
right and left parts in conformity with the median shape. The right and left
parts are divided into the front and back parts in the crotch, and the front
part forms the median sides in the crotch to bulge each other. The median
sides are joined to face each other, which forms a shape in conformity with
the shape between the crotch and the right and left thighs. The bottom
mechanism provides the darts from the buttock protrusions on the peak line
buttock protrusions reaching to the hems of the lower buttocks, or the cut
lines in the regions from the hems of the lower buttocks by way of the buttock
protrusions on the peak line buttock protrusions reaching to the hips, thus
forming the shape of the regions in conformity with the shape of the buttocks.
Thereby, the whole mechanism comes in a close contact with the bottom
parts, when it is worn, and produces the tensile (tense) relations, which
exerts a pressure that prompts correction to the abdomen and the lower sides
of the buttocks.
-
The bottom mechanism provided with this mechanism, when it is
worn, produces the tensile (tense) relations over the whole product, brings a
close contact with the bottom parts of a human body, exerts an appropriate
pressure to the abdomen and the lower buttocks, supports and corrects the
bottom parts, and neatly fits to the crotch and the buttock cleft, which shapes
up the right and left buttocks beautifully.
-
Further, this bottom mechanism is provided with a cut line of the
back part based on the median shape to form the right and left parts. The
front part is formed in conformity with the median shape, and is not divided
right and left to form a plane. The front and back parts are joined in the
crotch, so that the abdomen can be finished simply and the buttock cleft can
be finished to neatly fit.
-
The foregoing change-over darts areas can be formed by the darts or
the cut lines, or by means of a molding with heat and pressure.
-
Further, this bottom mechanism may be provided with an
expandable core material having a specified breadth, which is disposed on
the abdomen regions including the right and left front ilia and the groins of
the front part, on the regions between the crotch and the thighs of the right
and left parts, by way of the buttock furrows and lower buttocks of the back
part, and armpit sides, and on a region reaching to the front center of the
abdomen; and the right and left parts are joined on the front center.
-
The right and left front part in the bottom mechanism may also be
formed with the expandable material such that an area on the abdomen
surrounded by the right and left front ilia and the right and left groins is
formed in one plane, an area close to the crotch in the front part is cut off with
a specific breadth in which the front part is divided right and left, and the
front part goes round by way of the right and left thighs to the right and left
lower buttocks, and further by way of the right and left hips comes back to
front part correspondents, where the right and the left are joined.
-
In the right and left, front and back parts of the aforementioned
bottom mechanism, a support part that permits a physiological sanitary
product to be mounted may be provided at specific regions of the vulva and
the anus in the crotch.
-
Further, the bottom mechanism may be formed with expandable
threads by means of weaving and knitting. Concretely, the expansion
directions, reduction rates, and strengths that are necessary and appropriate
to various parts of the bottom can be adjusted by using the expandable
threads, by utilizing the weaving knitting technique, and the bottom
mechanism can produce a pressure on the regions where the support and
correction of the abdomen and the lower buttocks, etc., is needed, thus
providing a seamless bottom mechanism that bears a high fitness and a
supporting and correcting effect. In this case, however, the developed form of
the bottom mechanism is preferably provided with a shape in conformity
with the developed form of the aforementioned bottom mechanisms that are
formed with the expandable material.
-
In the bottom mechanism, the ratio of the size against the body size is
preferably set to more than 80 %, less than 100 %, in view of wholesomeness
on wearing.
-
Further, the invention provides a clothing provided with the
aforementioned bottom mechanisms and the functions.
-
The one-piece form clothing mechanism may include the supporting
and correcting mechanism of the breasts, in which the right and left parts are
formed in conformity with the shape and the median of the breasts, and a
pressure is applied to the fan-shaped parts on the lower sides of the right and
left breasts during wearing.
-
Also, the supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts may be
integrally formed with the bottom mechanism into a one-piece form
mechanism and clothing, or the upper and lower mechanisms may be joined
by a joint mechanism.
-
Further, in the aforementioned one-piece form mechanisms, an
opening may be provided in at least a part of the region corresponding to the
back in order to reduce a tension that is produced on the back during
anteflexion movements.

BEST MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
-
Next, the embodiments relating to the invention will be described
with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[EMBODIMENT 1]
-
As shown in Fig. 3 to Fig. 6, the supporting and correcting
mechanism of the breasts relating to the embodiment 1 includes an
expandable material, and the size thereof is reduced by the scale factor of
more than 80 % to less than 100 % against the size of a wearer. This
supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts includes a front part 2
and a back part 3.
-
The front part 2 has a right front part 2R and a left front part 2L,
which are joined (sutured) together on a front center F. This front part 2 as
well as the right front part 2R and left front part 2L is likely to be hung and
deformed, forms a fan-shaped area 4 having a nipple 10 that needs the
support and correction as the peak point, which covers a region from the
vicinity of the front center F via an under-bust UB reaching to the vicinity of
an armpit region S, and a continuous plane that covers a region from the
front center F via the under-bust UB reaching to the armpit regions and the
shoulder region, so as to function to pinch the fan-shaped area 4. That is, this
front part 2 is made open (exposed) on the upper side of the nipple 10
including the nipple 10 itself and on the region of the front center F.
-
In the fan-shaped area 4, the foregoing scale factor is designed to
gradually increase from the under-bust UB toward the nipple 10. That is, as
shown in Fig. 4, the pressure P is designed to gradually decrease from the
under-bust UB toward the nipple 10. Therefore, the mechanism with this
pressure P prevents a deformation or a flattening around the top of the bust,
and securely supports and corrects the breasts from thereunder.
-
Here, the distances (lengths) from the nipple 10 of the breast to the
under-bust UB before a suspension and a deformation in Fig. 4(1) and after a
suspension and a deformation in Fig. 4(2) are almost the same. The line N-N
shown in Fig. 4 indicates the level of the nipple 10 before a suspension and
a deformation and after the support and correction. The supporting and
correcting mechanism of the breasts relating to the invention supports
securely upward the region from the under-bust UB via the fan-shaped area 4
reaching to the nipple area, and supports and corrects the breasts so as to
recover the nude bust shape before a suspension and a deformation. The
mechanism achieves an idealistic bust line, because it supports and corrects
the breasts in a natural shape.
-
Because a shoulder K and the under-bust UB, etc., are formed
broadly, the front part 2 receives the pressure on areas, and prevents a load
from being imposed locally.
-
The back part 3 has the so-called X-letter shape, as shown in Fig. 9,
avoids the operational areas of the scapulae, enhances the fitness, and holds
the front part 2 securely. This back part 3 is joined (sutured) to the front part
2 on both the armpit regions S.
-
The supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts with this
construction provided produces tensile strengths in the directions of the
arrows, for example, shown in Fig. 5, Fig. 8, and Fig. 9, when it is worn, and
creates the original form recovering property that avoids the tensile state
because of the expandability and returns to the original state. At this
moment, the foregoing decreasing formation of the scale factor in the
mechanism exerts a slightly higher pressure to the under-bust UB, compared
to the other parts, and weakens the pressure gradually toward the nipple 10.
And, it also gives an appropriate pressure to the area corresponding to the
fan-shaped area 4. Thus, even during a strong exercise, not to mention in the
normal state, the mechanism can securely support and correct the breasts,
prevent a rolling and pitching, etc., of the breasts, and give a pleasant
wearing feeling to a wearer.
-
Further, the supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts
relating to the embodiment 1 includes the right and left front parts 2R, 2L
and the back part 3 or the right and left back parts 3R, 3L, and has a plane
without a darts. Accordingly, the mechanism can sufficiently utilize the
expandability that the expandable material contains. That is, the
mechanism is able to produce a tense relation actively between the body form
of a wearer and itself, to pinch the region in need of support and correction,
and to effectively utilize the pressure obtained by stretching the expandable
material in plural directions. Further, as compared with the conventional
brassiere, the mechanism uses very small number of components and bears a
very high production efficiency.
-
Further, the supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts
relating to the embodiment 1 is formed in the reduced size of more than 80 %
to less than 100 % against the size of a wearer. On the other hand, as to the
wearing part of the conventional brassiere, etc., the size has been reduced to
approximately 70 % to less than 80 % against the size of a wearer. In view of
this figure, it is also understood that the supporting and correcting
mechanism relating to the embodiment 1 removes an excessive tightening
and gives an excellent wearing feeling to a wearer.
-
Although around the breasts are the mammary tissues, vascular
tissues, and lymphatic tissues, etc., minutely related, the supporting and
correcting mechanism of the breasts relating to the invention will not
damage the skeleton and muscles, vascular tissues, lymphatic tissues, and
nervous tissues, etc., and will perform a health support and correction of the
breasts, because the breasts are not pressured unnaturally firmly.
-
Further, the supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts
relating to the invention is able to achieve a wearing effect to various body
forms and breast shapes of a wearers, in a range that the distance (length)
from the under-bust UB reaching to the nipple 10 and the under-bust UB
surrounding length are equal.
[EMBODIMENT 2]
-
Next, the supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts
relating to the embodiment 2 will be described with reference to Fig. 10 and
Fig. 11.
-
In the embodiment 2, the same regions, parts, and members as in the
embodiment 1 are given the same symbols, and the detailed explanations
thereof will be omitted.
-
As shown in Fig. 10 and Fig. 11, the supporting and correcting
mechanism 20 of the breasts relating to the embodiment 2 includes an
expandable material in the same manner as the supporting and correcting
mechanism of the breasts described in the embodiment 1.
-
The supporting and correcting mechanism 20 of the breasts includes
the fan-shaped area 4 and the plane region formed by pinching the fan-shaped
area 4, and a covering region 22 that covers a region reaching to the
front center F, which is located on the upper side of the nipple 10 including
the nipple 10 itself.
-
In the covering region 22, the scale factor against the body form size
of a wearer is designed to be lager than the scale factor of the fan-shaped area
4 and the plane region formed by pinching the fan-shaped area 4. In other
words, the pressure exerted on the covering region 22 is designed to be
smaller than the pressure exerted on the plane region including the fan-shaped
area 4.
-
Therefore, the mechanism can prevent a deformation and a flattening
by pressure, in a top-bust region and an area covering from the top-bust
reaching to the front center F.
-
The supporting and correcting mechanism 20 of the breasts with this
construction provided produces tensile strengths in the directions shown in
Fig. 11, when it is worn, and exerts a pressure to the under-bust UB and the
fan-shaped area 4. The pressure is gradually weakened toward the nipple 10.
And, a further weaker pressure is exerted to the region covering from the
nipple 10 reaching to the front center F, located on the upper part of the
nipple 10. As the result, even during a strong exercise, not to mention the
normal state, the mechanism is able to securely support and correct the
breasts, to prevent a swing of the breasts, and to give a pleasant wearing
feeling to a wearer.
-
Next, an example of a clothing provided with the supporting and
correcting mechanism of the breasts relating to the embodiment 2 will be
described with reference to Fig. 12.
-
The clothing as shown in Fig. 12 is joined (sutured) with the
supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts described in the
embodiment 1, which forms an integrated structure. Although, this clothing
is an outer wear, it can bear the supporting and correcting function of the
breasts. That is, on wearing, it does not need a correcting underwear such as
a brassiere or a body suit, and it can support and correct the breasts healthily
to an idealistic bust line, and a wearer can enjoy a pleasant wearing life.
-
The design of this clothing can be made voluntarily. For example, the
clothing can be formed integrally with the supporting and correcting
mechanism of the breasts, by making the whole clothing using an expandable
material. Further, the integration of the clothing with the supporting and
correcting mechanism of the breasts can be carried out by means of the gluing
or weaving technique, etc., other than the suturing technique.
-
Further, in the embodiment 2, the supporting and correcting
mechanism of the breasts is mounted on the clothing, however only the front
parts in the embodiment 1 and 2 may be mounted on the clothing.
-
The supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts relating to
the invention avoids to use artistic and unhealthy materials as in the
conventional, excels in wholesomeness and operability with the simple
mechanism, and gives a comfortable wearing feeling to a wearer; and it can
support and correct the nude breasts naturally beautifully, and it is suitable
for a broad range of clothing products such as underwear and sportswear.
-
Especially, to various types of crews of air crafts, vehicles, vessels,
etc., who work in an unstable posture, the wearing of a conventional
brassiere that accompanies tightening or pain and lacks operability will
damage a healthy function of the physiological mechanism such as inviting a
bad blood circulation, or a further unwholesome and unstable conditions,
which will cause a hindrance of the work.
-
The supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts relating to
the invention excels in mobility and wholesomeness, and it is specially
effective for use in the clothing for various types of crews, which requires
such a posture control and a stable support of the body form, and work clothes
and sportswear, etc.
-
The supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts relating to
the invention is based on a concept that the mechanism should follow and
make the best use of the structural, mobile and functional properties of the
body tissues in the ranges thereof, and a human body and the mechanism
should utilize the body form characteristics, and thereby a simple and
dynamic mechanism should be configured which revives reasonably healthily
the inborn shape of the breasts before a suspension and a deformation.
-
And, the supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts relating
to the invention responds to the swing conditions and volume variations of
the breasts while a wearer moves, prevents a useless swing, reduces motional
differences from the body movements, stabilizes the lower breasts, raises the
breasts upward in a gradual manner, and thereby achieves the natural
healthy simple support and correction of the breasts with a soft harness.
-
Fig. 14 illustrates one example of the supporting and correcting effect
of the breasts, when the mechanism relating to the embodiment 2 shown in
Fig. 10 and Fig. 11 is actually worn. The state on wearing is illustrated by
the colored parts, and the nude state before wearing is shown by the borders.
Both the states assume the median (front center) and the shoulder as the
references. Fig. 14 compares the developed shapes of the body surfaces of the
front half and the back half. The shapes of the backs are almost the same,
but the shapes of the fronts are greatly varied. Especially, the positions of
the breasts are shifted up inward, and the positions of the nipples on wearing
are supported and corrected up inward by about 2 cm, compared with the
positions of the nipples in the nude state before wearing.
[EMBODIMENT 3]
-
Next, the supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts
relating to the embodiment 3 of the invention will be described with reference
to the drawings.
-
As shown in Fig. 15(1) and Fig. 15(2), the supporting and correcting
mechanism of the breasts relating to the embodiment 3 employs an
expandable material, and forms a plane so as to cover the lower breasts and
the fan-shaped areas. And, as shown in Fig. 15(3), the mechanism is
mounted and fixed by an adhesive applied in advance in the order of a, b, c,
first to the front center, next to the lower breasts, and further to the armpit
regions and the shoulder regions so as to wrap the fan-shaped areas and to
pull it slightly. As the result, the right and left breasts are supported and
corrected up inward.
-
This mechanism can conveniently be used in case of wearing a dress
with the shoulders and the shoulder areas exposed widely, or in case of
wearing a costume for an entertainer, since it does not need the shoulder
regions and the back parts. However, since considerations are necessary for
the appropriateness to the skin of the materials and adhesives used in the
mechanism, the wearing should be limited within a shorter time, and it
should be preferred to use the mechanism in a form of a disposable product.
-
As described above, the supporting and correcting mechanism of the
breasts relating to the invention forms the whole in one plane made of an
expandable material, which includes the fan-shaped areas and the plane
parts to pinch the fan-shaped areas; and therefore, on wearing, it will
produce a tensile (tense) relation to the whole mechanism. As the result, it
presents a comfortable wearing feeling to a wearer, and securely supports the
lower breasts and the under-bust regions, whereby an idealistic bust line can
be achieved.
[EMBODIMENT 4]
-
Next, the bottom mechanism and the clothing mechanism provided
with the bottom mechanism relating to the embodiment 4 of the invention
will be described with reference to the drawings.
-
Here, the "short type" stated in the invention
means the shorts (including high leg, regular, basic, etc.) or the girdle types,
as shown in Fig. 20 or Fig. 23, etc. And, the "pants type" stated in the
invention means the long types such as the boxer pants, etc., as shown in Fig.
24.
-
The parts shown in Fig. 19 are generally named as follows. The
symbol 1 denotes the median, 52 the buttock cleft, 53 a peak line buttock
protrusion, 54 a buttock protrusion, 55 an ilium, 56 a groin, 57 a lower
buttock; 58 a buttock furrow, 59 the vulva, 60 the anus.
-
Fig. 19B recognizes a big difference of shape in the lines indicating
the median 1 and the peak line buttock protrusions 53. And, as shown in Fig.
19D, the crotch 62 in the split state has a right and left spread with the line
indicating the median 1 as the border line. When the right and left thighs are
closed, the root of the thighs forms a rising shape, as shown in Fig. 19C. The
buttocks are constructed with the right and left individual skeletons,
muscles, nervous tissues, vascular tissues, and lymphatic tissues, etc., with
the median 1 as the border.
-
Therefore, in order to achieve a wearing product that fits to the
bottom, it is necessary to construct the form and mechanism based on the
right and left buttocks.
-
On the median 1 of the bottom of a human body are located the
buttock cleft 52, the vulva 59, and the anus 60. On the right and left sides of
the abdomen are located the ilia 55, and between the positions thereof and
the crotch are located the groins 56. On the back right and left are located
the peak line buttock protrusions 53 and the buttock protrusions 54, and on
the lower buttocks 57 near the crotch are located the buttock furrows 58.
-
The above major parts of a human body are the essential parts to
accomplish the mechanism of this application, and at the same time they are
the essential parts that are needed to bear the fitness and to carry out the
support and correction.
-
As shown in Fig. 20, the bottom mechanism relating to the
embodiment 4 assumes the median 1 as the design reference. The
mechanism forms the right and left parts with the cut line 61 as the border,
and the right and left parts are divided into the front and the back. Here, the
median 1 is the reference for the design, and it is not always necessary to
provide the cut line on the median 1. Further, it is not always necessary to
divide into the right and left parts on the crotch, with the median 1 as the
border.
-
In Fig. 20A to Fig. 20F, the cut line 61 on the median 1 goes from the
abdomen by way of the crotch 62 and the buttock cleft 52, and reaches to the
back. The cut line 61 on the median 1 signifies the front center and the back
center. Darts 65 are provided on the lower sides of the buttock protrusions 54
on the peak line buttock protrusions 53 so as to bring out the round shapes of
the buttocks. A division line of the front and back parts on the crotch 62 is
illustrated by a symbol 67 in Fig. 20D. Joint (Suture) parts of the front and
back parts are shown by symbols 66 in Fig. 20B.
-
Further, the darts 65 may be replaced by the cut lines running on the
peak line buttock protrusions 53. Or, they may be replaced by forming the
shapes so as to conform with the round shapes of the buttocks, for example,
by utilizing the weaving technique. Further, the joint parts 66 on the sides
and the division line 67 are not necessarily essential, and the whole may be
developed into one integrated shape.
-
The short type bottom mechanism as shown in Fig. 21 has the front
part F and the back part B. In this bottom mechanism, the front and back
parts are divided by the division line 67 and joined (sutured) on this part, but
they may be formed in an integral shape.
-
The right and left parts on the median are formed to be separated
each other on a part corresponding to the crotch 62. When the right and left
parts are joined (sutured), the part forms a swelling inward, whereby the
bottom mechanism will fit to the crotch 62, the thighs 63, and the buttock
cleft 52 to be matched comfortably.
-
Fig. 23 shows that the short type bottom mechanism forms a swelling
part 68 so as to conform with the narrow plane in the crotch 62. It confirms
that the region near the cut line 61 corresponding to the median 1 comes
inward against the peak line buttock protrusions 53, and fits to the buttock
cleft 52 comfortably. And, also it confirms that the whole bottom mechanism
forms a three-dimensional shape to conform with the bottom shape of a
human body.
-
The pants type bottom mechanism as shown in Fig. 22 has the front
part F and the back part B. In this bottom mechanism, the front and back
parts are divided by the division line 67.
-
On the side of the cut line 61 on the median 1, viewed from the
division line 67 of the right and left parts, the swelling part 68 (colored part)
is provided in conformity with the shape between the vulva 59 and the thighs
63. The swelling part 68 forms a protruded shape against the division line 67
and makes a rising shape, when joined (sutured) each other. The swelling
part 68 is located on the side of the median 1 against a line that connects the
groin 56 and the lower buttock 57. Thereby, the part attains a comfortable
fitness.
-
Fig. 24 confirms that the pants type bottom mechanism forms a
three-dimensional shape in conformity with the shape of the bottom of a
human body, and also clearly confirms that the swelling part 68 forms a
rising shape so as to fit the shape in the crotch 62.
-
Next, the tensile (tense) state will be described which is produced
when the bottom mechanism relating to the embodiment 4 is worn.
-
Fig. 25 illustrates a state, in which the bottom mechanism relating to
the embodiment 4 is worn, and illustrates the tensile (tense) relations that
are produced thereat by the arrows. Fig. 25A is the front view, Fig. 25B is the
side view, and Fig. 25C is the back view. Fig. 25D shows the split state in the
crotch. Fig. 25 E and Fig. 25 F show the postures in the split state. The
arrows illustrate the fitness to the parts of the bottom, and the supporting
and correcting function and the directions thereof.
-
As shown in Fig. 25, the arrows are directed toward the median 1
(namely, the cut line 61) on the hips, which shows that the right and left
parts on the back of the bottom mechanism step into the median 1, and do not
float but fit comfortably to conform with the shape thereof. And, in the same
manner, it is also found that the crotch 63 and the buttock cleft 52 fit
comfortably securely to conform with the shape thereof. This function is also
effected during movements, which does not produce a displacement and a
loosening, and displays a pleasant wearing feeling. The fitness to the buttock
cleft 52 and the supporting and correcting effect present beauty and comport
to a wearer.
-
Further, the bottom mechanism can independently be offered as a
clothes, however the mechanism can be incorporated into a clothes to thereby
attain a clothing mechanism equipped with this bottom mechanism.
[EMBODIMENT 5]
-
Next, the bottom mechanism relating to the embodiment 5 of the
invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
-
Fig. 26 illustrates a cut form (developed form) for a half body of an
expandable core material relating to the embodiment 5. And, Fig. 27
illustrates a cut form (developed form) for another half body of the
expandable core material relating to the embodiment 5, in which the side of
the abdomen is formed in a plane.
-
The expandable core material 71 shown in Fig. 26 and Fig. 27 has a
recess 69 formed on a region in the crotch 62, so that the expandable core
material 71 does not come into contact with the physiological organs. Here, a
symbol 70 denotes the joint (suture) part.
-
This mechanism equipped with the expandable core materials 71
effects to prevent the physiological organs from being pressured because of
the provision of the recesses 69.
-
Fig. 28 illustrates a state that the expandable core materials 71
shown in Fig. 26 and Fig. 27 are joined (sutured) three-dimensionally. The
arrows shown in Fig. 28 illustrate the tensile (tense) relations produced in
the expandable core materials 71 during wearing, and the pressures for
support and correction which are exerted on the abdomen and the lower parts
of the buttocks. Further, Fig. 28 confirms that the expandable core materials
71 are formed individually right and left by way of the lower buttocks 57.
-
Fig. 29 illustrates a state of the installations of the expandable core
materials 71 relating to the embodiment 5, when the short type with the
expandable core materials 71 installed inside is worn. The arrows in the
drawing illustrate the circumstances in which the tensile (tense) relations
are produced when it is worn, and the circumstances of the fitness and the
supporting and correcting functions effected by the tensile relations. Here,
Fig. 29A is a front view, Fig. 29B is a side view, Fig. 29C is a back view. Fig.
29D illustrates the crotch in the split state, and Fig. 29E and Fig. 29F
illustrate postures in the split state.
-
The core materials separately provided on the crotch 62 and the right
and left buttocks and lumber parts support the lower sides of the right and
left buttocks separately from under, and thereby the bottom mechanism
relating to the embodiment 4 fits tightly to the buttock cleft 52, and makes a
neat and beautiful silhouette of the right and left buttocks.
-
Further, this bottom mechanism can be incorporated into a clothes to
thereby attain a clothing mechanism equipped with the foregoing bottom
mechanism.
[EMBODIMENT 6]
-
Next, the bottom mechanism relating to the embodiment 6 of the
invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
-
Fig. 30 illustrates a split state, in which a support member 72 that
allows a sanitary product to be mounted thereon is installed in the crotch 62
in the bottom mechanism relating to the embodiment 4 or the embodiment 5.
Fig. 30D1 shows a state, in which the support member 72 is installed in the
crotch 62 in the short type bottom mechanism relating to the embodiment 4.
Fig. 30D2 shows a state, in which the support member 72 is installed in the
crotch 62 in the short type bottom mechanism relating to the embodiment 5,
and Fig. 30D3 shows an appearance when the bottom mechanism shown in
Fig. 30D1 and Fig. 30D2 is worn.
-
Here in the embodiment 6, the same parts and members as in the
embodiment 4 and the embodiment 5 are given the same symbols, and the
detailed explanations will be omitted.
-
As shown in Fig. 30D1, the support member 72 capable of mounting a
sanitary product is installed inside the crotch 62 in the bottom mechanism.
Concretely, the support member 72 is disposed on a region corresponding to
the vulva 59 and the anus 60 in the right and left, front and back parts shown
in Fig. 20D. The bottom mechanism furnished with this construction bears
the effect derived from the bottom mechanism described in the embodiment 4
and the embodiment 5. This effect can prevent a sanitary product (for
example, napkin or the like) from being displaced.
-
Further, as shown in Fig. 30D2, the support member 72 capable of
mounting a sanitary product is installed in the bottom mechanism shown in
Fig. 29D. Concretely are constructed in the order from the inner sides (the
sides that touch the skin) to the support member 72, the expandable core
material 71, and reaching to the expandable material included in the bottom
mechanism.
-
Here, the joint (suture) of the support member 72 and the expandable
core material 71 with the expandable material forming the external shape of
the bottom mechanism is carried out only on the edges (on the sides of the
thighs) of the expandable material. This will secure the operability of the
expandable core material 71, and it is not always needed to join (suture) the
whole areas of the members. Further, the bottom mechanism can be
incorporated into a clothes to thereby attain a clothing mechanism equipped
with the bottom mechanism.
[EMBODIMENT 7]
-
Next, the one-piece form clothing mechanism relating to the
embodiment 7 of the invention will be described with reference to the
drawings, which is equipped with the supporting and correcting mechanism
of the busts and the bottom mechanism.
-
The one-piece form clothing mechanism is provided with the
supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts that forms the right and
left, front and back parts in conformity with the shapes of the breasts and the
back, to conform with the shape of the median, namely, the front center and
back center, and on wearing exerts pressures on the lower parts of the right
and left breasts and the fan-shaped areas, and the bottom mechanism that
forms the right and left, front and back parts in conformity with the shape of
the median, and on wearing exerts pressures on the abdomen and the lower
parts of the right and left buttocks.
-
And basically, the supporting and correcting mechanism of the
breasts expects the same mechanism and construction and effect as those in
the foregoing embodiment 1 and the embodiment 2. Also, the bottom
mechanism expects the same mechanism and construction and effect as those
in the foregoing embodiment 4, embodiment 5, and embodiment 6.
-
The one-piece form clothing mechanism may include the supporting
and correcting mechanism of the breasts and the bottom mechanism
separately, or in an integrated manner. Or, they may be provided separately
or both on a one-piece form clothes. Or, they may be provided in separately
finished upper and lower clothes, and the upper and lower clothes may be
joined, on wearing, with a joint mechanism beforehand provided at a position
near the waist. An integrated construction of the supporting and correcting
mechanism of the breasts and the supporting mechanism of the bottom will
effectively achieve the wearing stability by the whole clothing mechanism,
the effect to derive the tensile (tense) relations, and the variety of a clothing
design.
-
Fig. 34 and Fig. 35 illustrate an example, in which the supporting
and correcting mechanism of the breasts and the bottom mechanism are
integrated into a one-piece form, which can be used as, for example, a
swimming wear, leotard, body suit, or the like.
-
Fig. 35 illustrates an example of a cut form, in which the front part on
the upper half of the body is divided right and left on the front center with the
median as the reference, and the front part on the lower half of the body is
formed in a plane, and the back part is divided into the right and left sides of
the body with the median as the reference. The finished shape size in this
case is virtually the same as in Fig. 34, however the finished shape size will
be varied slightly by an adjustment of the expansion ratio that depends on
the shapes of the cut parts and the expansion directions of the materials and
an influence by the joined (sutured) parts.
-
The cut line 61A of the one-piece form clothing mechanism, provided
to conform with the median 1, is formed to completely wrap the fats put on
inside the buttock furrows 58 of the right and left buttocks, whereby the
fitness can be enhanced still more. Also, a creeping-up on the lower buttocks
57 and useless displacement and bite into the buttock cleft 52 during
movements can be cleared, and the right and left hips can be shaped up
naturally beautifully.
-
Further, the one-piece form clothing mechanism is provided with the
supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts that forms the right and
left parts in conformity with the shapes of the breasts, to conform with the
median of the breasts, namely, the front center, and on wearing exerts
pressures on the lower armpit regions of the right and left breasts.
-
Concretely, the whole supporting and correcting mechanism of the
breasts is made up with the expandable material, which includes the right
and left front parts 82 and back parts 83.
-
In this supporting and correcting mechanism of the breasts, the
pressure is designed to gradually decrease from the under-bust toward the
nipple 80. Therefore, the mechanism with this pressure prevents a
deformation or a flattening around the top of the bust, and securely supports
and corrects the breasts from thereunder. Further, the supporting and
correcting mechanism of the breasts that is formed by pinching the fan-shaped
areas and adjusting the tensile relations in the shoulder direction,
armpit direction, and front center direction, and the shape and size of the
expandable material brings the breasts inward upward in a natural form,
and achieves an idealistic bust line.
-
Further, the front part 82 receives the pressure on areas, and
prevents a load from being imposed locally, because the shoulder K is formed
broadly. Here, a symbol 81 denotes darts. Further, an opening 87 may be
formed between the back of the back part and the waist, and the tension of
the material on the back part during an anteflexion movement can be eased
by this opening 87. Thereby, the creeping-up of the hems on the lower
buttocks can be easily prevented.
-
The lower half of the body in the one-piece form clothing mechanism
with this construction provided is formed to completely wrap the fats put on
inside the buttock furrows 58, whereby the fitness can be enhanced still
more. Also, a creeping-up on the lower buttocks 57 and a bite into the buttock
cleft 52 during movements can be cleared. And, the upper half of the body
securely supports and corrects the breasts and prevents swings of the
breasts, even during a strong exercise, not to mention in usual movements.
Therefore, the mechanism gives a wearer a comfortable wearing feeling
without giving an unpleasant pressure to the body, and shapes up the right
and left breasts and hips in the nude state more naturally more beautifully.
-
Fig. 36 illustrates three-dimensionally a cut form for half the body in
the one-piece form clothing mechanism shown in Fig. 34. Fig. 36A shows the
front part on the right side of the body, Fig. 36C shows the back part on the
right side of the body, and Fig. 36D is a sketch viewed from the joined
(sutured) side of the right half of the front and back parts. The darts may be
extended to the waist vicinities in conformity with the peak line buttock
protrusions, which may be regarded as a cut line 83.
-
Fig. 37 illustrates the postures on the front and back sides and the
posture on the left side, in which the one-piece form clothing mechanism
shown in Fig. 35 is worn.
-
The one-piece form clothing mechanism in the foregoing embodiment
is provided with the opening 87 on the back part, however the mechanism
does not necessarily need to be provided with the opening 87. In the
examples of the one-piece form clothing mechanism as shown in Fig. 38 and
Fig. 39, the bottom part is the pants type, and yet the back part is not
provided with the opening 87.
-
The buttock side part 83 in Fig. 38 is provided with a large darts 65
almost reaching to the waist. When this part is used as a cut line, it is only
needed to cut on the line shown by the symbol S.
-
In the one-piece form clothing mechanism as shown in Fig. 39, the
bottom part is the pants type. And, this mechanism makes the outward form
neat and simple on wearing, by adding the shape and size of the protruded
regions on the buttocks to each of the armpit regions of the front and back
parts. Further, the colored parts show the positions where the expandable
core materials are disposed and the state thereof, which are provided in the
foregoing embodiment so as to still more reinforce the support and correction
of the abdomen and the lower buttocks.
-
The one-piece form clothing mechanisms as shown in Fig. 34 to Fig.
39 displays an effect that supports and corrects the busts and hips to shape
them up naturally beautifully, and in addition excels in wearing stability and
operability. Therefore, these mechanisms can effectively be used for various
types of work clothes, sportswear, or supporters.
-
Fig. 40 illustrates an example of cut forms of the front part and the
right and left back parts of a conventional one-piece form swimming wear.
Fig. 41 illustrates three-dimensionally the cut forms for half the body of the
conventional one-piece form swimming wear shown in Fig. 40. 11B
illustrates the front center and the back center. However, in the conventional
products, the front center and back center lines are not necessarily coincident
with the median, and they are dislocated rather significantly from the
median. This is clearly seen from the fact that the length of 11B is set longer
than the other parts, as shown in Fig. 40 and Fig. 41.
-
Being dislocated from the median as above, the part dislocated
produces a large shift during movements, which consequently creates a
displacement, loosening, and bite.
-
On the other hand, in the conventional swimming wear, an
abnormally smallish swimming wear has generally been used in order to
prevent an invasion of water in a competition. However, in spite of wearing
such a smallish swimming wear and tightening firmly whatsoever, as far as
the swimming wear is not designed to be matched with the body shape, body
motions during swimming will create openings in various parts of the
swimming wear, which results in inviting the invasion of water.
-
Furthermore, in the conventional swimming wear, it is a common
exercise to firmly tighten the lower buttocks as well as the openings with
rubber strings so as to prevent a displacement and a loosening. However, if
the body motions in swimming creep up the hems, etc., the hems will stay at
the positions crept up, which needs actions to put back the hems afterwards,
at any time when it happens.
