Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a semi-circular mold 31 made of a wire
  • a cup 32 made of an urethane resin or the like
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • correction members are partially attached or disposed on a part of the abdomen or on parts of the buttocks.
  • members disposed on the lower parts of the right and left buttocks are sutured each other on the center of the lower part thereof.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the part having a high tension which is provided by the core material 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.
  • 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.
  • Fig. 40 is a plan view illustrating an example of a cut form of a conventional one-piece form swimming wear
  • 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
  • D illustrates a state that the front part shown in A and the back part shown in C are united.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the hems at the lower hips creep up or bite the buttocks-lining parts.
  • 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.
  • 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 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the bottom mechanism 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.
  • 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.
