Definitions

  • This invention relates to an inner wear primarily for women, and more particularly to an inner wear that is worn to be fitted to the wearer's body, for example a tank top, a waist nipper, a bodysuit, underpants, a girdle, spats, pantyhose, tights, a leotard, a swimsuit or the like, and comprises an elastic knitted fabric having an elegant external appearance.
  • Girdles which are typical women's inner wear, are worn to make the shape of the wearer's body more attractive from the waist downwards, specifically around the hips, the belly, the buttocks, the thighs and the like.
  • Girdles have a function of producing natural-looking curves by restraining and pulling in a protruding underbelly and at the same time lifting buttocks prone to sagging.
  • Girdles produce attractive body lines and are thus worn by many women.
  • a girdle is that disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. H11-152607 (corresponding to EP 0 919 145 A2).
  • Many lines of wave-shaped protrusions knitted using tuck stitches are provided on the inner surface of this girdle, and hence every time the wearer's body moves, these wave-shaped protrusions push against and stimulate the wearer's skin to a moderate degree, producing a massage action, resulting in the girdle exhibiting a refreshing effect and a relaxing effect.
  • the many lines of elastically deformable wave-shaped protrusions W, W ... W comprising tuck stitches are continuously provided in rows across the whole of the required places with no breaks, and hence when the wave-shaped protrusions W are stretched by the action of movement of the wearer's body, the protrusions W are extended excessively as shown in Fig. 21, and hence the height of the protrusions W drops dramatically during movement by the wearer, albeit only temporarily, resulting in a problem in which there are times at which the massage effect and refreshing effect due to the protrusions W, W ... W are not sufficiently exhibited.
  • the skin is stimulated by protruding parts and recessed parts formed on the inner surface of the inner wear by altering different knit structures.
  • an inner wear which has three areas having different depths to ensure smooth air circulation between the skin and the inner wear.
  • the inner wear has a reinforcing structure in knitting structures making protrusions to keep the protrusions even when being excessively expanded.
  • an inner wear comprising an elastic knitted fabric including protruding parts and recessed parts having different knit structures alternately with respect to an inner surface of the inner wear in required places of portions fitting against a wearer's body, wherein the protruding part includes a knit structure in which plain stitch regions and float stitch regions are alternately arranged, and the float stitch region has a plurality of float stitches and at least one tuck stitch.
  • the protruding parts and recessed parts on the inner surface of the inner wear stimulate the wearer's skin, producing a massage action, promoting metabolism, and improving blood flow.
  • superfluous flesh and/or subcutaneous fat is pinched by the protruding parts and the recessed parts, with this pinching action being repeated every time the wearer's body moves, resulting in an effect being exhibited in which superfluous flesh and/or subcutaneous fat is reduced naturally.
  • the pinching force varies according to the difference in the depth between the deep recessed parts and the shallow recessed parts, resulting in an even greater effect of reducing subcutaneous fat.
  • the inner wear may have a constitution in which the deep recessed parts are knitted with plain stitches, the shallow recessed parts have a knit structure in which plain stitch regions and float stitch regions are arranged in a matrix, the protruding parts have a knit structure in which plain stitch regions and float stitch regions are alternately arranged, and the number of rows of stitches is set to be greater in the float stitch regions of the protruding parts than in the float stitch regions of the shallow recessed parts.
  • the float stitch region may be formed with a plurality of float stitches and a plurality of tuck stitches every a predetermined number of float stitches.
  • the recessed parts or the shallow recessed parts may be constituted by an arrangement of plain stitch regions, float stitch regions, and tuck stitch regions.
  • the protruding parts become such that the plain stitch regions bulge out on the reverse side by an amount due to being pulled by the float stitch regions that are alternately arranged
  • the shallow recessed parts become such that the plain stitch regions bulge out on the reverse side by an amount owing to being pulled by the float stitch regions that are arranged in a matrix, but because the number of rows of stitches is set to be greater in the float stitch regions of the protruding parts than in the float stitch regions of the shallow recessed parts, the amount by which the protruding parts bulge out is greater than the amount by which the shallow recessed parts bulge out.
  • the deep recessed parts are knitted with plain stitches and thus remain flat.
  • the knit structure on the reverse side becomes such that the undulating shape of the protruding parts, the deep recessed parts and the shallow recessed parts is formed assuredly, with the relationship between the protruding parts, the deep recessed parts and the shallow recessed parts being maintained, and as a result the above-mentioned effects are produced assuredly.
  • the tuck stitch will reinforce the formation of protrusions.
  • the extending yarn of the float stitch may have a strength stronger than yarns constituting the other stitches. This will reinforce and support the formation of protrusions.
  • the inner wear is knitted such that, when the inner wear is worn, the outer surface side of each of the deep recessed parts expands into an approximately elliptical shape, and the outer surface side of each of the shallow recessed parts expands into an approximately quadrangular shape. Accordingly, the elliptical shapes show prominently in the external appearance, and inner wear having an attractive, tasteful design not achieved with conventional inner wear may be obtained.
  • Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of the invention.
  • Reference numeral 1 indicates a girdle main body.
  • the left and right of this girdle main body 1 are knitted separately by circular knitting, and are then joined together by sewing together the respective edges on the inside, thus making a single girdle.
  • a broad elastic belt 2 having high elasticity is provided in a sidewise direction around the periphery of an upper opening of the girdle main body 1, and the girdle additionally includes an under panty cloth 3 that covers the wearer's hips and buttocks, a groin cloth 4 of an elastic knitted fabric that covers the wearer's groin, and a thigh cloth 5 that covers the wearer's thighs.
  • An elastic yarn of a polyamide, a polyurethane or the like and a cotton yarn or the like are used for the girdle main body 1.
  • Protruding parts 6 and recessed parts 7 and 8 having a different knit structure to one another are knitted alternately as shown in Fig. 7 in a circumferential direction on the inner surface of the under panty cloth 3 and the thigh cloth 5 of the girdle main body 1 shown in Fig. 1, with the recessed parts comprising deep recessed parts 7 and shallow recessed parts 8 knitted alternately (see Fig. 8).
  • the front side (outer surface) of the knit structure has a form in which portions corresponding to a protruding part 6, a deep recessed part 7, a protruding part 6 and a shallow recessed part 8 are knitted alternately in this order as shown in Fig. 5.
  • each deep recessed part 7 is knitted with plain stitches
  • each protruding part 6 has a knit structure in which 1-column 20-row float stitch regions R1 (second float stitch regions) and 3-column 20-row plain stitch regions R2 are arranged in alternate lines
  • each shallow recessed part 8 has a knit structure in which 2-column 2-row float stitch regions R3 (first float stitch regions) and 2-column 2-row plain stitch regions R4 are arranged in a matrix.
  • each plain stitch region R2 bulges out on the reverse side by an amount corresponding to 20 rows being pulled into 1 row by a loop 61 of each 1-column 20-row float stitch region R1
  • each plain stitch region R4 bulges out on the reverse side by an amount corresponding to 2 rows being pulled into 1 row by two loops 81 of each 2-column 2-row float stitch region R3.
  • the reverse side (inner surface) of the knit structure becomes such that a protruding part 6, a deep recessed part 7, a protruding part 6 and a shallow recessed part 8 are knitted alternately in this order
  • the front side (outer surface) of the knit structure becomes such that portions corresponding to a protruding part 6, a deep recessed part 7, a protruding part 6 and a shallow recessed part 8 are knitted alternately in this order.
  • the outer surface side of each of the protruding parts 6 does not change shape much, the outer surface side of each of the deep recessed parts 7 expands and changes shape into an approximately elliptical shape, and the outer surface side of each of the shallow recessed parts 8 expands and changes shape into an approximately quadrangular shape.
  • the protruding parts 6 do not change shape much, the deep recessed parts 7 expand and change shape into an approximately elliptical shape, and the shallow recessed parts 8 expand and change shape into an approximately quadrangular shape.
  • the reason that the deep recessed parts 7 change shape as described above is that, whereas the protruding parts 6 cannot expand since a state is maintained in which 20 rows are pulled into 1 row by the loop 61 of each 1-column 20-row float stitch region R1, the deep recessed parts 7 are knitted with plain stitches and hence can expand freely, and so the deep recessed parts 7, which are each surrounded on all four sides by protruding parts 6, expand and change shape while being restrained by the protruding parts 6 which cannot expand, the result being that the shape of each of the deep recessed parts 7 becomes approximately elliptical.
  • the reason that the shallow recessed parts 8 change shape as described above is that, whereas the protruding parts 6 cannot expand, the shallow recessed parts 8 each have a knit structure in which 2-column 2-row float stitch regions R3 and 2-column 2-row plain stitch regions R4 are arranged in a matrix and so expand and change shape with a quadrangular shape being maintained, and so the shallow recessed parts 8, which are each surrounded on all four sides by protruding parts 6, expand and change shape while being restrained by the protruding parts 6 which cannot expand, the result being that the shape of each of the shallow recessed parts 8 becomes approximately quadrangular.
  • the pinching force varies according to the difference in the depth between the deep recessed parts 7 and the shallow recessed parts 8, resulting in an even greater effect of reducing subcutaneous fat.
  • the girdle when the girdle is worn, superfluous flesh and/or subcutaneous fat pushed out by the protruding parts 6 moves into the shallow recessed parts 8 and the deep recessed parts 7, but even if the shallow recessed parts 8 are filled with superfluous flesh and/or subcutaneous fat, in the deep recessed parts 7, a state is secured in which a layer of air remains above the layer of superfluous flesh and/or subcutaneous fat, resulting in the girdle having improved breathability and in a feeling of oppression being alleviated, and hence in a refreshing, favorable wearing sensation being obtained.
  • air enters into the deep recessed parts 7 and the shallow recessed parts 8 to produce a thermal insulation effect, and hence the girdle can be used for protecting against cold.
  • Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment of the invention.
  • the above-mentioned first embodiment related to a girdle that covers as far as the thighs, but the present embodiment relates to long spats 11 that cover from the thighs down as far as the ankles, being provided with recessed parts and protruding parts on the inner surface of both the front and the back from the waist to the ankles.
  • the basic knitting method - including the materials of the elastic yarns - are the same as with the first embodiment, and equivalent parts have been given the same reference numeral.
  • Fig. 3 shows a third embodiment of the invention.
  • the above-mentioned first and second embodiments related to inner wear worn on the lower half of the body, but the present embodiment relates to an example in which the invention is applied to a tank top 21 worn on the upper half of the body. Recessed parts and protruding parts are provided on the inner surface of both the front and the back of the tank top 21.
  • Fig. 4 shows a fourth embodiment of the invention.
  • the above-mentioned first and second embodiments related to inner wear worn on the lower half of the body, and the third embodiment to inner wear worn on the upper half of the body, but the present embodiment relates to an example in which the invention is applied to a swimsuit 31 that covers both the upper half and the lower half of the body. Recessed parts and protruding parts are provided on the inner surface of both the front and the back of the swimsuit 31.
  • a first embodiment of the invention is shown in Fig. 15.
  • a protruding part 106 is formed in such a manner that 1-column 20-row float stitch regions R11 (second float stitch regions) and 3-column 20-row plain stitch regions R12 are arranged in alternate lines.
  • a tuck stitch 161 (162, 163, 164, or 165) is provided every 4 rows (tuck stitch group of 161 to 165).
  • a shallow recessed part 108 is so formed that 2-column 2-row float stitch regions R13 (first float stitch regions), 2-column 2-row plain stitch regions R14, and 2-column 2-row tuck stitch regions R15 are arranged in a certain order.
  • a deep recessed part 107 is formed by plain stitches.
  • the knit structure of Fig. 15 is shown spread out for explanatory purpose, but in actual fact, a portion corresponding to the protruding part 106 comprises the plain stitch regions R12 and the float stitch regions R11 in alternate lines, and the reverse side (inner side) of the knit structure becomes such that each 3-column 20-row plain stitch region R12 bulges out by an amount corresponding to 20 rows being pulled into 1 row by a loop 166 provided in each 1-column 20-row float stitch region R11.
  • each float stitch region R11 of the protruding part 106 is tucked each 4 rows by the tuck stitch group 161 to 165, thereby retaining the protruding part 106 at a desired height even if the knitted fabric is expanded.
  • constructing the protruding part 106 by alternately knitting 20-row float stitches and 20-row plain stitches with a combination of a tuck stitch provided each 4 rows (tuck stitch group) in each float stitch region R11 enables to retain the protruding part 106 at a sufficient height.
  • the formation of tuck stitches is free from a burden due to needle operation of a circular knitting machine during knitting because a smaller number of tuck stitches are formed each 4 rows.
  • the shallow recessed part 108 is so constructed that the reverse side (inner side) of the knit structure corresponding to each plain stitch region R14 bulges by an amount corresponding to 2 rows being pulled into 1 row by two loops 81 provided in each 2-column 2-row float stitch region R13.
  • the shallow recessed part 108 is so constructed that each 2-column 2-row tuck stitch region R15 adjoins the float stitch region R13 and the plain stitch region R14 in a certain direction in a certain order. Thereby, the shallow recessed part 108 securely retains its desired depth owing to the existence of tuck stitches 182 (tuck group) even if the knitted fabric is expanded.
  • the shallow recessed part 108 may be made by arranging 2-column 2-row plain stitch regions R14 and 2-column 2-row tuck stitch regions R15 in a matrix, or by arranging 2-column 2-row plain stitch regions R14 and 2-column 2-row float stitch regions R13 in a matrix. Both of these altered arrangements securely retain the shallow recessed part 108 at a desired depth even if the knitted fabric is expanded in a similar manner as the knit structure shown in Fig. 15 where the floated stitch regions R13, the plain stitch regions R14, and the tuck stitch regions R15 are adjoined one another in a certain order.
  • the reverse side (inner side) of the knit structure becomes such that portions corresponding to the protruding part 106, the deep recessed part 107, the protruding part 106, and the shallow recessed part 108 are knitted alternately in this order.

  • the reverse side (inner side) of the knit structure of the girdle is deformed, as shown in Figs. 9 and 14, in such a manner that the inner surface side of each of the deep recessed parts 107 is expanded into an approximately elliptical shape and the inner surface side of each of the shallow recessed parts 108 is expanded into an approximately quadrangular shape while retaining the inner surface side of each of the protruding parts 106 generally unchanged.
  • the reason that the deep recessed parts 107 change shape as described above is that, whereas the protruding parts 106 cannot expand since a state is maintained in which 20 rows are pulled into 1 row by the loop 166 of each 1-column 20-row float stitch region R11 with a combination that the float stitch region R11 is tucked by the tuck stitch group of 161 to 165.
  • the deep recessed parts 107 are knitted with plain stitches and hence can expand freely, and so the deep recessed parts 107, which are each surrounded on all four sides by protruding parts 106, expand and change shape while being restrained by the protruding parts 106 which cannot expand, the result being that the shape of each of the deep recessed parts 107 becomes approximately elliptical.
  • the reason that the shallow recessed parts 108 change shape as described above is that, whereas the protruding parts 106 cannot expand, the shallow recessed parts 108 each have a knit structure in which 2-column 2-row float stitch regions R13, 2-column 2-row plain stitch regions R14, and 2-column 2-row tuck stitch regions R15 are arranged in an adjoined manner and so expand and change shape with a quadrangular shape being maintained, and so the shallow recessed parts 108, which are each surrounded on all four sides by protruding parts 106, expand and change shape while being restrained by the protruding parts 106 which cannot expand, the result being that the shape of each of the shallow recessed parts 108 becomes approximately quadrangular.
  • the protruding parts 106 formed on the inner surface between the belly and the buttocks and around the thighs fit closely against these parts of the wearer's body, producing a shiatsu (finger-pressure)-like action and stimulating the wearer's skin, and resulting in the flow of the blood and the lymph being promoted and in metabolism in the wearer's body as a whole being improved.

  • the protruding parts 206D are aligned straightforwardly in line direction with each rib thereof retaining its desired height and with the plain stitch region 203" interposed between the adjacent ones of the protruding parts 206D.
  • one tuck stitch 241" is formed in the float stitch region R21" of the protruding part 206D.
  • the tuck stitch 241" is formed by the yarn on the row immediately following the row on which the yarn resides to form the loop 245".
  • the series of protruding parts 206D and recessed parts corresponding to the plain stitch regions 203" securely produce a massage action and result in prominent embossed-like patterns formed by the series of protruding parts and recessed parts in its external appearance, thus providing the clothing of an attractive and tasteful design.
  • the entirety of the knitted fabric is knitted with the same knitting material.
  • the invention is not limited thereto.
  • a knitting material for the loop 166 in the float stitch region R11 in the first embodiment of the knit structure may have a greater strength than the one used for the other parts in order to increase the tension force exerted from the loop 166 in the float stitch region R11.
  • double yarns may be provided in place of the single yarn.
  • the loop 245" by a soft yarn and form the tuck stitch 241" by a hard yarn.
  • the soft yarn and the hard yarn are combined into a single yarn in the plain stitch regions.
  • the same alteration is applicable to a set of two loops 81 which are provided in each float stitch region R13.
  • the alteration is applicable to the tuck groups of 161 to 165, 241 to 244, 241' to 244', and 241" and 182, 182.
  • the invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments.
  • an inventive inner wear comprises an elastic knitted fabric including protruding parts and recessed parts having different knit structures alternately with respect to an inner surface of the inner wear in required places of portions fitting against a wearer's body.
  • the recessed parts includes deep recessed parts and shallow recessed parts.
  • the protruding part has a knit structure in which plain stitch regions and float stitch regions are alternately arranged.
  • the pinching force varies according to the difference in the depth between the deep recessed parts and the shallow recessed parts, resulting in an even greater effect of reducing subcutaneous fat.
  • superfluous flesh and/or subcutaneous fat pushed out by the protruding parts moves into the shallow recessed parts and the deep recessed parts, but even if the shallow recessed parts are filled with superfluous flesh and/or subcutaneous fat, in the deep recessed parts a state is secured in which a layer of air remains above the layer of superfluous flesh and/or subcutaneous fat, resulting in the inner wear having improved breathability and in a feeling of oppression being alleviated, and hence in a refreshing, favorable wearing sensation being obtained.
  • the deep recessed parts may be preferably knitted with plain stitches.
  • the shallow recessed parts may be preferably constituted with a knit structure in which plain stitch regions and float stitch regions are arranged in a matrix.
  • the shallow recessed parts may be preferably constituted with a knit structure in which plain stitch regions, float stitch regions, and tuck stitch regions are arranged in a matrix.
  • the protruding parts may be preferably constituted with a knit structure in which plain stitch regions and second float stitch regions are alternately arranged, the number of rows of stitches being set to be greater in the float stitch regions of the protruding parts than in the float stitch regions of the shallow recessed parts.
  • the undulating shape of the protruding parts, the deep recessed parts and the shallow recessed parts is formed assuredly on the reverse side (the inner surface) of the knit structure, with the relationship between the protruding parts, the deep recessed parts and the shallow recessed parts being maintained, and as a result the above-mentioned effects are produced assuredly.
  • the extending yarn of the second float stitch has a strength stronger than yarns constituting the other stitches. This will reinforce and support the formation of the protrusion by the combination of the float stitch and the plain stitches.
