Description

  The present invention relates to a sports garment, and more particularly to a sports garment capable of controlling the shaking of a fat part (breast, buttocks, etc.) of a wearer during exercise while suppressing a feeling of pressure given to the wearer.

  Sports clothing such as a brassiere used during exercise is conventionally known.

  For example, JP-A-8-100308 (conventional example 1) discloses a breast cup used for women's clothing. Here, the breast cup is divided into a cup upper part and a cup lower part by a horizontal imaginary line (A) passing through the apex of the bulge of the breast cup, and a band-shaped reinforcing part (a) in a direction crossing the cup upper part, A band-shaped reinforcing portion (b) connected to the reinforcing portion (a) and extending over the imaginary line (A) to the lower portion of the cup is provided.

Japanese Patent No. 2930932 (conventional example 2) discloses a technique for suppressing shaking of a bust by sewing a protective tape made of a stretchable material to a front cloth portion of a sports bra.
JP-A-8-100308 Japanese Patent No. 2930932

  However, the sports clothing as described above has the following problems.

  In order to suppress the shaking of the fat portion (for example, the breast) during exercise, it is necessary that the portion located in the fat portion of the sports garment has a certain tightening force. On the other hand, if the tightening force of the part is too strong, the wearer feels a feeling of pressure and breathlessness. In conventional sports clothing, this problem is not always solved sufficiently.

  As a result of the study by the inventors of the present application, by providing a portion having a different elastic coefficient between the main direction of the fat portion swing and the direction orthogonal to the main direction, the fat portion is controlled while controlling the fat portion swing during exercise. It was found that the force acting on can be dispersed. In addition, in the prior art examples 1 and 2, such a concept is not disclosed.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to control shaking of a fat portion of a wearer during exercise while suppressing a feeling of pressure given to the wearer. It is to provide possible sports clothing.

  In one aspect, the sports garment according to the present invention includes a cup portion that receives the breast of the wearer, a first portion provided along the peripheral portion of the cup portion, and a first portion along the peripheral portion of the cup portion. A second portion provided so as to be adjacent to the portion, and the second portion has a tightening force in a first direction, which is a longitudinal direction of the first portion, by a tightening force in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Are made of a weak material, and the tightening force of the first portion in the first direction is stronger than the tightening force of the second portion in the first direction.

  According to this configuration, it is possible to control the shaking of the wearer's breast during exercise while suppressing the feeling of pressure applied to the wearer.

  In another aspect, the sports garment according to the present invention includes a cup portion that receives the breast of the wearer, a first portion provided along the peripheral portion of the cup portion, and a first portion along the peripheral portion of the cup portion. A second portion provided so as to sandwich the portion, and the second portion has a tightening force in the first direction in which the first and second portions are arranged more than a tightening force in the second direction perpendicular to the first direction. It is composed of a weak material, and the tightening force in the first direction of the first portion is stronger than the tightening force in the first direction of the second portion.

  According to this configuration, by providing the second part on both sides of the first part, it becomes easy to control the shake of the wearer's breast during exercise.

  Here, the cup portion is provided on the outer side of the cup portion along the cup portion at least on the opposite side of the first and second portions, and has a tightening force stronger than the tightening force in the first direction of the second portion. Preferably, a third part is further provided.

  By providing the third portion, the cup portion can be firmly held from the opposite side of the first and second portions. As a result, it becomes easier to control the shaking of the wearer's breast.

  The cup portion is preferably provided between the first and second portions and the breast of the wearer, and has an inner layer portion that comes into contact with the breast, and the inner layer portion preferably has an uneven portion that holds the breast of the wearer. Further, the inner layer portion may include a knitted fabric portion having a relatively strong tightening force and a knitted fabric portion having a relatively weak tightening force.

  By providing such an inner layer portion, the breast can be firmly held. As a result, the deviation between the breast and the cup portion is suppressed, and it becomes easy to control the shaking of the breast.

  It is preferable that an intermediate layer portion having shock absorption is further provided between the first and second portions and the inner layer portion.

  By providing the intermediate layer portion having shock absorption, it is possible to more effectively delay the phase of breast shaking.

  It is preferable that the first and second portions are provided in the lower portion of the cup portion.

  In the downward direction, the acceleration of the breast tends to become the largest due to the impact at the time of landing and the inertial force of the breast. By providing the first and second parts at the lower part of the cup part, this large shaking can be controlled.

  In the case where the first and second portions are provided at the lower portion of the cup portion, a shoulder strap portion that is hung on the wearer's shoulder is further provided above the third portion, and the shoulder strap portion is adjacent to the third portion. It is preferable that the tightening force is gradually reduced toward the position away from the third portion.

  Thereby, it can suppress that a shoulder strap part extends too much and the shaking control of a breast is inhibited.

  In yet another aspect, the sports garment according to the present invention includes a support portion that receives the wearer's buttocks, a first portion provided along the peripheral portion of the support portion, and a first portion along the peripheral portion of the support portion. A second portion provided adjacent to the first portion, and the second portion has a second direction tightening force in which a first direction tightening force that is a longitudinal direction of the first portion is perpendicular to the first direction. The tightening force of the first portion in the first direction is stronger than the tightening force of the second portion in the first direction.

  According to the above configuration, it is possible to control shaking of the buttocks of the wearer during exercise while suppressing a feeling of pressure given to the wearer.

  In yet another aspect, the sports garment according to the present invention includes a support portion that receives the wearer's buttocks, a first portion provided along the peripheral portion of the support portion, and a first portion along the peripheral portion of the support portion. A second portion provided so as to sandwich one portion, and the second portion has a tightening force in a first direction in which the first and second portions are arranged more than a tightening force in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Are made of a weak material, and the tightening force of the first portion in the first direction is stronger than the tightening force of the second portion in the first direction.

  By providing the second part on both sides of the first part, it becomes easy to control the shaking of the wearer's buttocks during exercise.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to control the shaking of the fat portion during exercise without giving the wearer a feeling of pressure or the like.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of sports clothing according to the present invention will be described.

  The sports garment according to the present embodiment is typically a sports bra provided with a cup portion that receives the breast (bust) of the wearer. However, the garment may be a swimsuit, a leotard, a body suit, or the like. As such, it may be clothing that covers from the upper body to the lower body. Further, the technical idea of the present invention can be applied to clothes that abut against a spat or other fat part having a buttocks (support part) that receives the buttocks of the wearer.

  Below, the sports bra as sports clothing is demonstrated.

  The sports bra includes a cup portion that receives the wearer's bust. The cup portion typically includes an outer layer portion (outer surface), an inner layer portion that contacts the wearer's bust, and an intermediate layer portion provided between the outer layer portion and the inner layer portion. However, in some cases, the intermediate layer portion can be omitted.

  The outer layer portion may be knitted with a circular knitting machine or may be formed with a cut-and-sew. In the outer layer portion, a first portion and a second portion are provided along the peripheral edge portion of the cup portion. Here, the first portion is typically disposed within the cup portion, but may be disposed outside the cup portion as long as the first portion is disposed along the periphery of the cup portion. Further, the second portion may be disposed in the cup portion or may be disposed outside the cup portion. The second part is typically provided on both sides of the first part so as to sandwich the first part, but may be provided adjacent to only one side of the first part.

  The first portion is provided such that the direction perpendicular to the main direction of shaking of the wearer's bust is the longitudinal direction. Here, the longitudinal direction of the first portion means a direction in which the first portion extends along the peripheral portion of the cup portion with a certain width. For example, since the main shaking direction of the bust during running is the vertical direction (vertical direction), in the brassiere for controlling the shaking of the bust during running, the longitudinal direction of the first portion is the horizontal direction. It is provided as follows. In this case, since the acceleration of the bust is particularly large at the time of landing, the first portion is provided below the cup portion in order to absorb the large acceleration. The above is an example of the longitudinal direction of the first portion and the position where the first portion is provided, and these can be appropriately changed according to the characteristics of the bust of the bust to which attention is paid.

  The second portion is made of a material in which the tightening force in the first direction, which is the longitudinal direction of the first portion, is weaker than the tightening force in the second direction orthogonal to the first direction. Further, the tightening force in the first direction of the first portion is stronger than the tightening force in the first direction of the second portion. In other words, the first portion is made of a material having a strong tightening force in the first and second directions, and the second portion is made of a material having a weak tightening force in the first direction and a strong tightening force in the second direction. . That is, the second portion has anisotropy with different tightening forces in the first and second directions.

  For example, in a brassiere for controlling bust shaking during running, as described above, since the longitudinal direction of the first portion is the lateral direction, the first direction is the lateral direction and the second direction is the longitudinal direction. . Therefore, in this case, the first portion is made of a material having a strong vertical / lateral tightening force, and the second portion is made of a material having a strong vertical tightening force and a weak horizontal tightening force. .

  Here, the tightening force means a resistance force of the material against elongation. The strength of the tightening force can be confirmed by the magnitude of the stretch rate of the fabric at a constant load. That is, a fabric having a strong tightening force has a low elongation rate, and a fabric having a weak tightening force has a high elongation rate.

  In the present specification, “strong tightening force” means, for example, that the elongation ratio (= α) at a load of 4.9 N (500 gf) is about 10 percent or more and less than 40 percent. “Weak” means, for example, that the elongation ratio (α) is about 40% or more. If the tightening force of the first and second portions is about this level, it is possible to obtain an effect of reducing the bust shaking while suppressing the tightening is too strong and the movement is inhibited.

  Moreover, it is possible to realize a stretch property (which means an elongation rate (= β) at a load of 17.6 N (1800 gf) in this specification) of a certain value or more regardless of the strength of the tightening force. is there. For example, it is possible to make both the elongation ratios (β) about 40 percent or more for the above-mentioned “strengthening / strong” tightening materials. Thereby, it can suppress that clamping | tightening is too strong and an exercise | movement is inhibited.

In order to realize the above-described tightening force and stretch characteristics, for example, when an elastic yarn is used as a constituent yarn of a knitted fabric, it is conceivable to use the following means.
(I) In the strong tightening material, the constituent ratio of the elastic yarn is made higher than that in the weak tightening material.
(II) Increase the fineness of the elastic yarn in the strong tightening material compared to the weak tightening material.
(III) Increase the knitting density in the strong tightening material compared to the weak tightening material.
(IV) In the strong tightening material, the knitted fabric is manufactured by increasing the tension of the elastic yarn compared to the weak tightening material.
(V) In the strong tightening material, the knitted fabric is manufactured by increasing the thickness of the fabric compared to the weak tightening material.

  It is also possible to use high crimped calcined yarns such as polyester and nylon that have been subjected to high crimped calcined processing to give stretchability to at least a part or all of the fabric. It is also possible to use a plurality of stretchable knits. In addition, a two-layer laminate fabric made by laminating elastic knit fabrics into a two-layer structure, or a polyurethane sheet having stretch properties sandwiched between elastic knit fabrics to form a three-layer structure. A layer laminate fabric may be used.

  The elongation rate, which serves as an index of the tightening force and stretchability, is measured using, for example, a TENSILON universal tensile tester (UTM-III-200) manufactured by Toyo Baldwin. The elongation shown in the present specification is a measurement result when the tensile strength is 20 cm / min, the size of the sample fabric is 5 cm (width) × 20 cm (length), and the sample gripping interval is 10 cm. When measuring the tightening force and the stretch product, as described above, loads of 4.9 N (500 gf) and 17.6 N (1800 gf) are applied, respectively. Further, when actually performing the measurement, the sample fabric is knitted and measured with the knitted fabric of only the portion to be measured (for example, the first and second portions).

  According to the above configuration, for example, in a brassiere that suppresses bust shaking during running, it is possible to suppress the vertical movement of the bust during landing, while delaying the phase of bust shaking and absorbing shock. it can. Thus, according to the sports bra according to the present embodiment, there is no need to excessively tighten the wearer's bust, and the wearer's bust during exercise is suppressed while suppressing the feeling of pressure (breathing difficulty) given to the wearer. Can control bust shaking.

  The shock absorption mechanism will be described as follows.

  For example, in the case of a brassiere that controls shaking of the bust during running, the second portion adjacent to the first portion has a weak lateral tightening force (first direction) and a relatively high lateral stretchability. Therefore, when the breast swings downward, the first part made of the strong tightening material firmly holds the lower part of the breast, and the fabric extends slowly in the second part adjacent to the first part. Can delay the phase of breast movement.

  By the way, at least on the opposite side of the first portion and the second portion with respect to the cup portion, the third portion has a tightening force stronger than the tightening force in the first direction of the second portion on the outside of the cup portion along the cup portion. It is preferred that a portion is provided. When the first and second parts are provided on the lower side of the cup part, the third part is, for example, from the upper side of the cup part opposite to the first and second parts to the side of the cup part. Provided outside. By providing such a third portion, the cup portion can be firmly held from the opposite side of the first and second portions. As a result, it becomes easier to control the shaking of the wearer's breast. Moreover, it is suppressed that a wearer feels a pressure feeling by arrange | positioning a 3rd part on the outer side of a cup part.

  The third portion is typically made of the same material as the first portion, but different materials may be used for the first and third portions.

  In the brassiere that controls the shaking of the bust during running, as described above, the first part and the second part are provided on the lower side of the cup part, and the third part is provided in the region including the upper side of the cup part on the opposite side. Is provided. In this case, a shoulder strap portion that is hung on the shoulder of the wearer is provided above the third portion. Here, the shoulder strap portion is preferably formed so that the tightening force gradually decreases from a position adjacent to the third portion toward a position away from the third portion. Thereby, it can suppress that a shoulder strap part extends too much and the shaking control of a breast is inhibited.

  By the way, when forming the “strong / weak” tightening force by different knitting structures, there may be a clear boundary line between the portions where the tightening force (knitting structure) is different, or continuously. A clear boundary line may be eliminated by gradually changing the tightening force (knitting structure).

  The inner layer portion that comes into contact with the wearer's bust may be formed of a knitted fabric or a pad.

  When the inner layer portion is formed of a knitted fabric, it is preferable to mix a knitted fabric having a relatively strong tightening force and a knitted fabric having a relatively weak tightening force. The specific range of the “strong / weak” tightening force here is the same as the “strong / weak” tightening force of the first and second portions in the outer layer portion described above. By mixing the strong tightening portion and the weak tightening portion, the knitted fabric portion having a strong tightening force presses the bust while the bulge of the bust enters the knitted fabric portion having a weak tightening force. Therefore, the contact area between the wearer's skin and the knitted fabric is increased and the frictional resistance is increased, so that the bust contact portion can hold the bust firmly. As a result, the effect of reducing the shaking due to the structure of the outer layer portion including the first and second portions is sufficiently exhibited. For the arrangement of the strong tightening portion and the weak tightening portion, a dot pattern, a line pattern, a lattice pattern, a staggered pattern, a stripe pattern, a corrugated pattern, or the like can be used. In addition, the area ratio (strong: weak) of the strong tightening portion and the weak tightening portion is 20:80 to 60:40 (more preferably 30:70 to 50:50, most preferably 40:60). preferable. By setting the area ratio within the above range, it is possible to suppress the wearer from feeling uncomfortable due to tightening while sufficiently exerting the gripping force.

  When the inner layer portion is composed of a pad, the pad preferably has a concavo-convex portion that holds the wearer's breast. By providing such a concavo-convex portion, the convex portion (projection portion) firmly holds the bust while the bulge of the bust enters the concave portion (base portion). Therefore, the contact area between the wearer's skin and the pad increases, and the frictional resistance increases, so that the bust contact portion can hold the bust firmly. As a result, the effect of reducing the shaking due to the structure of the outer layer portion including the first and second portions is sufficiently exhibited. In addition, you may make it not provide a convex part in a teat part.

  The intermediate layer portion is typically provided for the purpose of preventing the shock buffer and the wearer's bust from being seen through. The material used for the intermediate layer portion preferably has shock absorption and breathability. By providing the intermediate layer portion having shock absorption, it is possible to more effectively delay the phase of bust shaking.

  When the intermediate layer portion is composed of a knitted fabric, the fiber material used is not particularly limited, and natural fibers, synthetic fibers, or combinations thereof can be selected. The intermediate layer portion may be formed of any one of a woven fabric such as plain weave, a knitted fabric such as tricot, double raschel, sinker pile knit, and circular knitting, a three-dimensional structure fabric such as double raschel, and multiple woven fabric.

  When the intermediate layer portion is made of a foam, the intermediate layer portion can be made of a synthetic resin foam made of, for example, polyurethane, polystyrene, polypropylene, polybutadiene, natural rubber, synthetic rubber, or silicon.

  The shape of the intermediate layer is not particularly limited as long as the above object can be achieved. For example, when the inner layer portion is formed of a knitted fabric, it is conceivable that the inner layer portion and the intermediate layer portion have the same shape.

  The intermediate layer portion is typically integrated with the outer layer portion by sewing or bonding. However, since the stretch rate of the fabric is generally different between the intermediate layer portion and the outer layer portion, it is preferable to sew only the lower side and the outer side, for example, without fixing the entire circumference.

  Examples 1 to 14 according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a sports brassiere according to Example 1, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an impact absorbing structure in the brassiere.

  Referring to FIG. 1, a sports bra 1 according to this embodiment includes a cup portion 2 that receives a wearer's bust (breast), a shoulder strap portion 3 that is hung on the wearer's shoulder, a neck portion 4, and A side wall portion 5 and an underbust portion 6 are provided.

  When the wearer of the sports bra 1 exercises, the wearer's bust shakes in various directions (for example, the directions of arrows in FIG. 1). In particular, when running or the like, vertical shaking is remarkable.

  On the other hand, the sports brassiere 1 according to the present embodiment sandwiches the first portion 2A and the first portion 2A made of a strong tightening material provided at the lower portion of the cup portion 2 as shown in FIG. And a provided second portion 2B. Here, the first portion 2 </ b> A is provided inside the cup portion 2 along the peripheral edge portion of the cup portion 2. The second portion 2B is provided on the outer side of the cup portion 2 along the peripheral portion of the cup portion 2 on the center side of the body, and the cup portion 2 along the peripheral portion of the cup portion 2 on the side side. Is provided inside. A third portion 2 </ b> C made of a strong tightening material is provided on the upper side and the side side of the cup portion 2. The shoulder strap portion 3 is formed so that the longitudinal tightening force gradually decreases upward from the third portion 2C. The underbust portion 6 is configured by a rib structure.

  In FIG. 2, the first and second portions 2A and 2B are formed side by side in the lateral direction (the arrow direction in FIG. 2). The longitudinal direction of the first portion 2A is the lateral direction.

  The strong tightening materials constituting the first and third portions 2A and 2C have an elongation rate of 18% at a load of 4.9 N (500 gf) representing the tightening force in both the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 2) and the horizontal direction. The elongation at the time of 17.6N (1800 gf) load representing the stretchability is 45%.

  The material constituting the second portion 2B has a different tightening force in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, and has the same tightening force as that of the strong tightening material constituting the first and third portions 2A and 2C in the vertical direction. In the lateral direction, the tightening force is weaker than that in the longitudinal direction. Specifically, in the lateral direction, the elongation at the time of 4.9 N (500 gf) load representing the tightening force is 65 percent, and the elongation at the time of 17.6 N (1800 gf) load representing the stretchability is 200 percent. .

  The portions (body cloth portions) other than the first to third portions 2A, 2B, 2C in the sports bra 1 have a certain degree of stretchability in the vertical and horizontal directions. For this part, the elongation at the time of 4.9 N (500 gf) load representing the tightening force is 50 percent, and the elongation at the time of 17.6 N (1800 gf) load representing the stretchability is 150 percent.

  FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure around the cup portion 2 in the sports brassiere 1.

  Referring to FIG. 16, the cup portion 2 of the sports brassiere 1 is composed of three layers of an outer layer portion 20A, an intermediate layer portion 20B, and an inner layer portion 20C.

  The outer layer portion 20A is composed of nylon fibers (90 mass percent) and polyurethane fibers (10 mass percent). As the knitting structure, plain knitting and float knitting are applied in combination.

  The mid layer portion 20B is composed of nylon fibers (86 mass percent) and polyurethane fibers (14 mass percent). Double raschel knitting is applied as the knitting structure. The intermediate layer part 20B is integrated with the outer layer part 20A by the sewing part 7. However, only the outer side (side side) and the lower side of the intermediate layer portion 20B are sewn.

  The inner layer portion 20C is configured by mixing a weakly tightened knitted fabric and a strongly tightened knitted fabric. The ratio of the fibers constituting the inner layer portion 20C and the knitted structure are the same as in the case of the intermediate layer portion 20B. The inner layer portion 20C is integrated with the outer layer portion 20A by the sewing portion 7. Here, the peripheral edge portion of the inner layer portion 20C is sewn over the entire circumference.

  FIG. 17 is a view showing the inner structure of the sports bra 1.

  Referring to FIG. 17, the knitted fabric 8 constituting the inner layer portion of the cup portion has a strong tightening portion 8A and a weak tightening portion 8B. Here, the strong tightening portion 8A is formed in a dot shape on the weak tightening portion 8B. The area ratio of the strong tightening portion 8A and the weak tightening portion 8B is about 40:60.

  18 and 19 are views showing a modification of the inner structure of the sports bra shown in FIG.

  Referring to FIG. 18, the inner layer portion of the cup portion can be configured with a pad 9 made of resin or the like. The pad 9 is integrated with the outer layer portion 20 </ b> A by the sewing portion 7. Here, only the outer side (side side) and the lower side of the pad 9 are sewn. Thereby, size adaptability improves. Further, as shown in FIG. 19, the pad 9 may be sewn with the outer layer portion 20A through the stretchable fabric 10.

  FIG. 20 is an enlarged view of the pad 9. 21 and 22 show the XXI-XXI cross section and the XXII-XXII cross section in FIG. 20, respectively.

  Referring to FIGS. 20 to 22, pad 9 has a concavo-convex portion composed of protrusion 9 </ b> A and base 9 </ b> B. The protrusion 9A has a thickness (t1) of about 4.5 mm, and the base 9B has a thickness (t2) of about 2 mm.

  In producing the sports bra 1, first, a circular knitted fabric constituting the entire brassiere including the outer layer portion of the cup portion is knitted. Here, the direction of the fibers is the longitudinal direction / lateral direction (for example, the up / down direction / left / right direction in FIG. 1). Next, after the neck portion and the side neck portion are formed by cutting, the shoulder strap portions are connected by sewing. As a knitting machine for knitting a circular knitted fabric, for example, a circular knitting machine having a hook system of about 4 inches (more specifically, an L series manufactured by LONATI, Italy) or a circular knitting machine having a hook system of about 13 inches (More specifically, the SM series manufactured by SANTONI, Italy) can be used. These circular knitting machines can control the movement of the knitting needle by computer control or mechanical control, knitting any place with any knitting structure, knitting any place with any yarn, It is possible to knit in a state where it is inflated three-dimensionally while changing the knitting conditions at an arbitrary place.

  The circular knitted fabric knitted as described above is preferably heated in a state of being fitted to a template in the presetting process. Synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon have the property of shrinking when heated, so that the loop is tightened and the fabric is stabilized. As a result, even when a physical force is applied to the cloth in the dyeing process, a certain degree of dimensional stability can be ensured. In the dyeing process, the circular knitted fabric is put into a net and put into a drum type dyeing machine. At this time, it is also possible to add a drug having sweat-absorbing property, antibacterial deodorizing property, etc. to impart these functions to the fabric.

  Next, a method for measuring the impact applied to the bust during running will be described. FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating a position where the accelerometer is pasted during impact measurement.

  Referring to FIG. 23, the accelerometer (“×” in FIG. 23) is in a nude standing position, just below the nipple (see FIG. 23) about 1/3 of the height of the breast from the trunk. (See (b)). As the accelerometer, 352A24 (weight of about 0.8 g) manufactured by PCB Piezotronics can be used.

  24 to 27 are diagrams showing experimental results obtained by measuring the impact acceleration applied to the bust during running. 24 to 27, “right” and “left” mean the measurement results of the right and left breasts, respectively. 24 to 27, case 1 shows the result of measurement in a nude state without wearing clothing, and case 2 shows the result of measurement with a general brassiere that is not used for sports. 3 shows the result of measurement with the conventional sports bra attached, and Case 4 shows the result of measurement with the sports brassiere 1 according to the present embodiment attached. 24 and 25 show the impact acceleration when the right foot and the left foot are in contact with each other when traveling at a speed of 166 m / min. FIGS. 26 and 27 show the speed at a speed of 200 m / min. It shows the impact acceleration when the right foot and the left foot touch each other when running.

  24 to 27, it can be seen that the impact acceleration of case 4 is smaller than the impact acceleration of other cases under all the experimental conditions. That is, according to the sports bra according to the present embodiment, it can be understood that the impact acceleration acting on the lower part of the breast during running can be more effectively suppressed as compared with the conventional brassiere. In most cases shown in FIGS. 24 to 27, it is considered that the impact acceleration of the right chest is larger than the impact acceleration of the left chest due to the characteristics of the subject.

  FIG. 28 is a diagram showing a relationship (166 m / min, left foot contact, left chest) between acceleration applied to the bust during running and the passage of time. Note that the maximum acceleration values in cases 1 to 4 in FIG. 28 correspond to the “left” impact acceleration values in cases 1 to 4 in FIG. 25.

  Referring to FIG. 28, the acceleration peak in case 4 appears later than the acceleration peak in cases 1 to 3. That is, according to the sports bra according to the present embodiment, the phase of the bust that moves downward when the foot touches down can be delayed, and the maximum value (peak value) of acceleration can be kept low.

  As described above, according to the sports bra 1 according to the present embodiment, an effect of reducing the impact acting on the wearer's bust can be obtained. Here, in particular, the impact when the bust that has moved downward rebounds is alleviated.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the arrangement of the first to third portions in the sports bra according to the second embodiment.

  The sports bra according to the present embodiment is a modification of the sports brassiere according to the first embodiment, and basically has the same configuration as the brassiere according to the first embodiment, but the first portion 2A is sandwiched therebetween. The second portion 2B is different from the first embodiment in that both the side portion and the center side of the body are disposed outside the cup portion 2.

  Even with such a configuration, similarly to the sports bra according to the first embodiment, the effect of reducing the impact acting on the wearer's bust can be obtained. Here, in particular, the impact when the bust that has moved downward rebounds is alleviated.
