Description

  The present invention relates to a slightly stretchable tape mainly used for tightening a trunk portion of clothing such as swimwear and sportswear, and clothing using the same.

  Thin clothing including sportswear and underwear such as swimwear, tennis wear, figure, etc. generally has openings such as leg mouth, waist, neck, cuff, etc., and this opening has elastic properties such as rubber tape. The tape is stitched with a sewing machine or the like as an edge material. By attaching such a rubber tape as a rim material to a predetermined edge of the garment, when the garment is worn, the garment is in close contact with the body so that the rim does not slip up. As an example of a configuration for preventing such a swimsuit shift, a “swimsuit misalignment prevention structure” of Patent Document 1 is known.

  The “swimsuit misalignment prevention structure” of Patent Document 1 is provided with a misalignment preventing portion made of a silicone-based elastomer fixedly provided on the edge of the swimsuit or on the back side in the vicinity of the marginal portion. It is formed by arranging dot-like convex portions in a dotted pattern. Silicone elastomer or silicone resin is actually used for the silicone-based elastomer. Swimwear with such an anti-displacement part may cause the buttocks and chest areas to rise and fall while swimming. It is supposed to prevent the fit from deteriorating and impair the appearance.

On the other hand, men's swimsuits for swimming are generally passed through a string insertion part formed in a bag shape on the upper edge of the trunk of the pants, so that the pants will not slip out of the trunk during swimming competitions. It is used by directly tying the string at the front position of the upper edge. In this men's swimsuit for swimming, in order to prevent the pants from slipping, a thin string with a fine stretch is generally used. Since this thin string is slightly stretchable, the user adjusts the length according to the size of his / her body and is used in a state where no deviation occurs. Thus, the part where the swimsuit is displaced occurs not only at the leg opening part of the swimsuit or the edge part near the opening part, but also at the upper edge part of the trunk part or the vicinity of the upper edge part thereof.
JP 2001-011711 A

  By the way, men's swimsuits generally have a string that is passed through the upper edge of the trunk of the pants so that the upper edge of the trunk is in close contact with the waist (back) so that the pants are not displaced from the trunk during swimming competition. It is used by directly tying the string at the front position of the upper edge, and the string is a thin string that is slightly stretchable in total length, but it is easy to tie when tying in front of the body to adjust the length, and easy to tie Must be unsolvable. In addition, since the string used is a thin string, and the length remains the same when the length is adjusted, the position that hits the lower back (back) that does not have the elasticity corresponding to the expansion and contraction of the body that changes during exercise However, it is not necessarily held in close contact with the waist (back).

  On the other hand, in general underwear such as pants and undershirts, elastic rubber tape-like fabric fits the body and slips down at the waist and hem of clothing such as pants and undershirts. Although it is widely used to prevent water from being stretched, it is too stretchy to use such elastic rubber fabric and rubber tape for swimming swimsuits that perform intense exercise. There is a problem that occurs.

  Patent document 1 “Swimsuit misalignment prevention structure” prevents inconveniences such as loss of fit and loss of appearance due to shifting up and down of the buttocks and chest while repeated intense swimming. In order to do this, the dot-like convex part of the slip prevention part is attached to the edge of the swimsuit or the back surface in the vicinity of the edge in a protruding manner over a predetermined range. It cannot be used to prevent the displacement of the trunk.

  Therefore, it is possible to maintain the adhesiveness of the clothing, but to prevent the displacement of the clothing for use in which the length is adjusted and fixed to the length like a lace of a male swimsuit. The swimsuit prevention structure of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 cannot be used, and any of the conventional thin string-like tapes are used for men's swimming as a narrow string used for preventing the deviation of the upper edge of clothing. It is not cheap and economically applicable to various clothing such as swimwear, women's spats, slacks pants, ski wear, windbreakers, and sweat pants. As described above, there are merits and demerits in the means corresponding to the upper edge of the conventional garment, and there remains a problem to be solved about using a slightly stretchable thin string with a simple structure as a rational and economical means. Has been.

  In consideration of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is used for the upper edge position of the trunk portion of clothing using cloth such as men's swimsuits, women's spats, slacks pants, ski wear, windbreakers, sweat pants, etc. A fine stretchable tape that can prevent a swimsuit from slipping from the body and can be widely used for various clothes at a low cost and economical cost as in the case of a conventional fine stretchable thin string and a clothing using the same. The issue is to provide.

As a means for solving the above-mentioned problem, the present invention forms a wide portion over a predetermined length range centering on the central position of the length of a thin cord using a slightly stretchable material, and the cord other than the wide portion is predetermined. This is a structure of a slightly stretchable tape formed in a thin string shape.
In this case, it is also possible to use a fine stretchable tape in which the predetermined wide portion is provided in a length range corresponding to the back width of the human body.
Further, a string insertion part for inserting a string through the upper edge of the garment is formed, and the fine stretchable tape is inserted into the string insertion part so that the garment is closely attached to the body and held. It can also be set as the clothing which has a property tape. In this garment, the garment is a swimsuit for swimming, and the garment having the trunk portion freely tightened by inserting the above-mentioned slightly elastic tape into the string insertion portion formed at the upper end edge of the trunk portion of the swimsuit. You can also

  The finely stretchable tape of the present invention having any one of the above configurations forms a wide portion over a predetermined length range centering on the center position of the length of the thin string using the finely stretchable material, except for the wide width portion. Since the string is formed in the shape of a predetermined thin string, all the tapes are mainly on the top edge of the trunk of various clothing such as men's swimsuits, women's spats, slacks pants, ski wear, windbreakers, sweat pants, etc. Used by being inserted into the string insertion part. Since both tapes are used so that the wide part is located on the waist (back), even if you exercise intensely, if you wear clothing using this slightly elastic tape, its fit fit, trunk The upper edge of the garment is in close contact with the waist (back) with a slightly elastic tape, so the upper edge of the torso rises and falls slightly from the waist while wearing. No longer occurs.

  The fine stretchable tape of the present invention and clothing using the same are mainly trunks of various clothing such as swimsuits for men's swimming, spats for women, slacks pants, ski wear, windbreakers, and sweatpants. Used by being inserted through the string insertion part at the top edge, can hold the body of the garment, ensure adhesion, and widely used for various clothes at a low cost and economical cost, just like conventional fine stretch string The advantage that it can be obtained.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1A is a plan view and FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view of a slightly stretchable tape T1 according to the first embodiment. As shown in the drawing, the fine stretchable tape T1 of this embodiment has a wide portion 2 provided in a predetermined range centering on a central position of the length of the thin string 1, and a length portion other than the wide portion 2 A normal thin string 1 is formed in the. As the material, a material having low stretchability (fine stretchability) made of cotton or synthetic fiber is used. In the illustrated example, the thin string 1 is formed into a thin flat string shape as shown in the plan view of (a) figure and the cross-sectional views of (b) and (c), and the wide portion 2 has a narrow string width. The width D is approximately twice the width d of 1 (D = about 1.5 cm in the illustrated example).

  In the cross section, only the width D of the wide portion 2 is wide, and the thin string 1 and the wide portion 2 have the same shape and configuration. The thin string 1 and the wide part 2 are each knitted into a thin string width and a wide part as shown in the figure using the yarn of the above material, and the thin string 1 and the wide part 2 have a small elongation during knitting. Knit into a hard state. The width D of the wide portion 2 is set to a range of about twice or about 2 to 3 times, and the range of the length L is the waist (back) of the human body when the object to be used is, for example, a male swimsuit. The length corresponding to the portion is inserted into the string insertion portion 3 (see FIG. 3) at the upper end of the swimsuit (in the example shown, about 30 cm). For other garments, the length L is appropriately set according to the use of the garment.

  The thin string 1 is necessary for tightening the upper end of the trunk of the swimsuit and, for example, bowing like the conventional thin string, and the entire length including the wide portion 2 is not long enough. Is formed. The selection of the overall length of the thin string 1 including the wide portion 2 is selected from those that are appropriately set according to the swimsuit size of S, M, and L, for example. In this case, when tying the thin string 1 at the front or lateral position of the body, it is necessary that the length is not too long and not too short to tie.

  FIG. 2 is a (a) perspective view and (b) and (c) cross-sectional views of a slightly stretchable tape T2 of the second embodiment. The overall shape of the slightly stretchable tape T2 of this embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment. The same members are denoted by the same reference numerals, description thereof is omitted, and different portions will be mainly described below. The wide portion 2 is formed to be approximately twice as wide as the thin string 1 as in the first embodiment. However, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), the wide portion 2 is larger than the tape of the first embodiment. The cross section of the slightly wide portion 2 is elliptical, and the cross section of the thin string 1 is also formed in a thin, substantially elliptical shape as shown in FIG. (C) As shown in the figure, the periphery of the middle core material 2a inserted in the length direction of the wide width portion 2 is surrounded by an outer peripheral material 2b knitted around the middle core material 2a. It is formed to be softer than the wide portion 2 of one embodiment. The cross-section of the thin cord 1 is also smaller than the wide width portion 2 as shown in FIG. 5B, and the cross-section is thin and substantially oval composed of the core material 1a and the outer peripheral material 1b.

  The finely stretchable tapes T1 and T2 of this embodiment formed as described above are used for various clothing such as men's swimming suits, women's spats, slacks pants, ski wear, windbreakers, and sweat pants. It is mainly used by being inserted through the string insertion portion at the upper end edge of the trunk portion. In this case, the length is suitable for tying the string, and the wide part 2 is used so as to be positioned on the waist (back) of the human body. Used around the body. The wide part 2 has a width D wider than that of the thin string 1, so that it is stably tightened around the torso in contact with the waist (back), and changes to a tightened holding state by tightening the string even if strenuous exercise is performed. There are very few, and since both ends are the thin string 1, it is easy to tie. Therefore, as compared with the conventional tightening string formed only by the thin string 1, the holding power and stability of tightening are remarkably improved while maintaining the ease of tying.

  FIG. 3 shows an example in which the fine stretchable tape T1 or T2 is applied to a men's swimsuit P as an example of application to specific clothing. FIGS. 3A and 3B are (a) an external view of a long trunks type pant P1, and (b) an external view of a short type pant P2. In any of the above men's swimsuits for swimming P, a string is passed through the string insertion part 3 formed in a bag shape on the upper edge of the trunk of the pants so that the pants are not displaced from the trunk during the swimming competition. It is used by directly tying the string at the front or lateral position of the upper edge of the swimsuit.

  The swimsuit P for men's swimming formed as described above involves intense exercise in the case of swimming, so the string of the torso does not hold the upper end of the swimsuit firmly on the waist, so the harsh condition that competition is not possible Used in. Therefore, since it is not suitable to use elastic rubber tape to hold the upper end of the body, conventionally, a thin string with a total length of slightly stretchable is generally used. Insufficient retention and adhesion of the part that hits the back (back). On the other hand, in the pants for swimming according to this embodiment, the wide section 2 is used so as to correspond to the waist (back) through the string insertion section 3 at the upper end edge of the trunk section. For this reason, the string can be firmly tightened by the thin string 1 and the holding and adhesion of the upper end of the pants with respect to the waist (back) are further increased, so that stable holding and a feeling of adhesion can be obtained.

  As mentioned above, although the example of the swimsuit using the slightly elastic tape including the form of various examples was explained, the composition of clothes, such as the swimsuit of the fine elastic tape and its application example, can be variously configured in addition to the above. Even if it is not described as an embodiment, all within the scope of the gist of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention.

  The finely stretchable tape of the present invention forms a wide portion over a predetermined length range centering on the center position of the length of the thin string using a slightly stretchable material, and the string other than the wide part is formed into a predetermined thin string shape. All the tapes are mainly inserted into the string insertion part at the upper edge of the trunk of various clothing such as men's swimsuits, women's spats, slacks pants, ski wear, windbreakers, sweat pants, etc. Widely used to prevent clothing slippage.
