Description

  The present invention relates to a garment with a posture maintaining function.

  Due to the increase in desk work time such as PC work and the use time of mobile phones (including smartphones), the time to take a prone posture (stuck-back state) increases, resulting in an increase in the number of people who become “straight neck” ing. The straight neck refers to a state where the neck is straightly distorted, specifically, a state where the physiologic anterior bay angle of the cervical vertebra is 30 degrees or less. Straight necks are considered problematic because they are thought to cause chronic headaches, neck pain, stiff shoulders, depression, and vision loss.

  Therefore, conventionally, as in Patent Document 1, a correction tool for correcting the back of the back by pulling the left and right shoulder blades toward each other has been widely developed. However, in such a correction tool, the left and right scapulas are always forcibly pulled when worn, and there is a problem that the burden on the wearer is large and that there is a sense of incongruity when worn.

JP 2006-320640 A

  An object of the present invention is to provide a garment with a posture maintaining function capable of suppressing a straight neck by suppressing the left and right scapulas from protruding forward.

Such an object is achieved by the present inventions (1) to (4) below.
(1) With clothing
A hard-to-deform member that is harder to deform than the garment,
The garment with a posture maintaining function, wherein the hardly deformable member is provided on the back of the garment so as to straddle both shoulder blades when worn.

(2) Clothing and
A hard-to-deform member that is harder to deform than the garment,
The garment with a posture maintaining function, wherein the hardly deformable member is provided along a shoulder width direction on both shoulders of the garment.

  (3) The clothes with posture maintaining function according to (1) or (2), wherein the hardly deformable member is detachable from the clothes.

  (4) The clothes with posture maintaining function according to any one of (1) to (3), wherein the hardly deformable member is made of a superelastic alloy.

  According to the present invention, since the hardly deformable portions are provided straddling the left and right shoulder blades or along the left and right shoulder portions, it is possible to suppress the left and right shoulder blades from protruding forward. it can. Therefore, it can suppress that the back becomes round and the neck becomes a stoop that comes out forward, and furthermore, it can be suppressed that it becomes a straight neck due to the stoop. According to such a configuration, since a tensile force that draws the left and right shoulder blades is not used, the burden on the wearer and a sense of discomfort can be reduced.

It is a top view (back view) which shows clothing with a posture maintenance function concerning a 1st embodiment of the present invention. It is a top view (back view) which shows the clothes with a posture maintenance function concerning a 2nd embodiment of the present invention.

  DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a garment with a posture maintaining function of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

<First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a plan view (back view) showing a garment with a posture maintaining function according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  The garment 100 with a posture maintenance function shown in FIG. 1 is, for example, a white robe worn by a dentist during treatment. However, the garment 100 with the posture maintaining function is not limited to a white robe for dental treatment, and is, for example, a garment having a back body that covers the left and right shoulder blades, such as underwear, T-shirts, trainers, jumpers, uniforms, and work clothes. Anything is acceptable.

  Such a garment 100 with a posture maintaining function includes a garment 200 and a hardly deformable member 300 attached to the garment 200.

  The garment 200 includes a body 210, sleeves 220 and 230 provided on the left and right of the body 210, and a collar 240. The body 210 has a front body (not shown), a back body 212, and a storage portion 213 provided in the back body 212. The storage portion 213 extends in the lateral direction so as to straddle the left and right shoulder blades 910 and 920 of the wearer 900 when worn, and the hardly deformable member 300 is stored in the storage portion 213.

  Such a garment 200 can be made of a fabric such as a woven or knitted fabric made of natural fibers such as cotton and linen, synthetic fibers such as nylon, polyester, acrylic, triacetate, and polyurethane.

  The hardly deformable member 300 is formed of a long plate member, and is stored in the storage portion 213 so as to straddle the left and right shoulder blades 910 and 920 of the wearer 900 when worn. Such a difficult-to-deform member 300 is a member that is hard and less elastically deformed than the garment 200 (the back body 212). The constituent material of the hardly deformable member 300 is not particularly limited, and can be made of, for example, a metal material such as iron, copper, or aluminum, plastic, wood, bamboo, or the like.

  The storage portion 213 is provided with an opening 213a, and the hardly deformable member 300 can be attached to and detached from the clothing 200 through the opening 213a. Thereby, for example, it becomes possible to change the size and hardness by exchanging the hardly deformable member 300. Therefore, the garment 100 with the posture maintaining function can be customized according to the wearer's preference, and the garment 100 with the posture maintaining function is highly convenient. Further, by removing the hardly deformable member 300, it can be used as a normal clothing. Note that the opening 213a may be provided as necessary and may be omitted. That is, the hardly deformable member 300 may not be detachable.

  When the garment 100 with posture maintaining function is worn, the hardly deformable member 300 is positioned on both shoulder blades 910 and 920 so as to straddle the left and right shoulder blades 910 and 920 of the wearer 900. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the difficult-to-deform member 300 from serving as a tension and prevent both shoulders (both shoulder blades 910 and 920) from protruding forward relative to the spine. Therefore, it can suppress that the wearer 900 becomes a stoop, and as a result, a straight neck is suppressed.

  In particular, the hardly deformable member 300 is preferably positioned so as to straddle the shoulder blades of both shoulder blades 910 and 920. Since the scapula is a portion protruding backward in the scapula, the scapula is a portion that easily comes into contact with the hardly deformable member 300 and can exhibit the above-described effect more effectively. According to the garment 100 with such a posture maintaining function, since a tensile force that draws the left and right shoulder blades 910 and 920 is not used as in the conventional case, the burden on the wearer 900 and a sense of discomfort can be reduced.

  The width W of the hardly deformable member 300 is not particularly limited, but is preferably about 2 to 6 cm. By setting it as such a width | variety, the movement of parts other than a shoulder can be performed smoothly, suppressing the shoulder coming out forward.

  In the present embodiment, the hardly deformable member 300 is configured by a straight flat plate, but the shape of the hardly deformable member 300 is not limited to this. For example, the hard-to-deform member 300 may be curved so that the center portion in the longitudinal direction is positioned forward of both end portions. In the correct human posture, the left and right shoulder blades 910 and 920 are positioned behind the spine, and therefore, the longitudinally central portion of the hardly deformable member 300 is applied to the back by curving as described above. Can do. Therefore, the feeling of fitting of the hardly deformable member 300 is improved, and the central portion of the hardly deformable member 300 functions as a fulcrum, so that the above effect can be more effectively exhibited. It is preferable that the degree of curvature be in accordance with the positional relationship between the left and right shoulder blades 910 and 920 and the spine.

  It is also preferable that the hardly deformable member 300 is made of a shape memory alloy such as a Ni—Ti alloy or a Cu—Zn alloy. In this case, the hard-to-deform member 300 is straightly shaped as described above, or is curved and shaped. Moreover, it is preferable that the transformation point of the shape memory alloy which comprises the hardly deformable member 300 is about a human body temperature (for example, 30-37 degreeC). Even if such a hard-to-deform member 300 is deformed by, for example, washing, storing, etc., the garment 100 with posture maintaining function is worn and warmed by body temperature to return to the original shape. Therefore, the effect of the hardly deformable member 300 as described above can be surely exhibited.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment of the garment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 2 is a top view showing a garment according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

  Hereinafter, the clothing of the second embodiment will be described focusing on the differences from the first embodiment described above, and the description of the same matters will be omitted.

  The garment of the second embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment except that the arrangement of the hardly deformable members is different.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the garment 100 </ b> A with the posture maintaining function of the present embodiment, the hardly deformable members 300 are provided on both shoulder portions of the body 210. Each hardly deformable member 300 is provided so as to extend in the shoulder width direction (from the neck to the shoulder). In addition, storage portions 213 are provided on both shoulder portions of the body 210, and the hardly deformable member 300 is stored in the storage portions 213.

  According to such a configuration, since the displacement of the neck and the shoulder is suppressed to some extent by the hardly deformable member 300, it is possible to suppress the both scapulas 910 and 920 from protruding forward with respect to the spine. . Therefore, the back of the wearer 900 can be suppressed, and as a result, the straight neck is suppressed. Since the garment 100 with such a posture maintaining function does not use a pulling force that draws the left and right shoulder blades 910 and 920 as in the related art, the burden on the wearer 900 and a feeling of strangeness can be reduced.

  As mentioned above, although the clothing with a posture maintenance function of the present invention was explained based on the illustrated embodiment, the present invention is not limited to these. For example, in the garment with a posture maintaining function of the present invention, the configuration of each part can be replaced with an arbitrary configuration that exhibits a similar function, and an arbitrary configuration can be added. Moreover, you may combine the above-mentioned embodiment suitably.

  In the embodiment described above, the hardly deformable member has a plate shape, but the shape of the hardly deformable member is not particularly limited as long as the above-described function can be exhibited. For example, the hardly deformable member may be linear (wire shape). In this case, the number of wires may be one or two or more.

  In the above-described embodiment, the hardly deformable member is attached to the garment by being housed in the housing portion, but is not limited thereto. For example, the hardly deformable member is fixed between the lining of the garment and the outer surface of the garment. May be.
