Description

  The present invention relates to a garment for a lower body, which is made of a stretchable body cloth and has an abdominal support function including a torso, a pair of left and right legs, and a crotch.

  Since the middle abdomen, the center of gravity moves forward as the lower abdomen bulges, so pregnant women try to keep their balance by leaning their backs in a standing position and taking a pelvic tilt in a sitting position.

  However, this posture puts strain on the muscles around the pelvis and causes pelvic pain and low back pain. Conventionally, during the period from the middle of pregnancy to the final month, the pelvic tilt was corrected by lifting the stomach from the bottom, Pregnant belts are used to prevent back pain.

  In Patent Document 1, it is a belt-like shape that is wound obliquely downward from the vicinity of the upper end of the lumbar part on the back side of the pregnant woman toward the lower abdomen, both ends thereof being detachable from each other on the front side, and the back side A lower abdomen belt portion having elasticity in a direction along the lower abdomen from the vicinity of the upper end of the lumbar region, and connected to the back side of the lower abdomen belt portion and disposed on the back side along the thoracic vertebra of the pregnant woman, A back belt portion having elasticity in a direction along the shoulder, and a shoulder belt portion connected to the upper end portion of the back belt portion and positioned with respect to the shoulder portion by being hung on the shoulder portion of the pregnant woman; A pregnant woman band characterized by comprising:

  In Patent Document 2, as a pregnant woman band integrated into shorts, a panty body is sewn with a stretchable fabric, and a stretchable net is formed on the lining side of the panty body along the lower abdomen from the waist. A maternity belt is disclosed, in which a front belt made of ground is stitched and a side-up fabric made of a stretchable net similar to that described above is stitched to the hip contact portions on both sides.

  Patent Document 3 discloses a girdle composed of a stretchable fabric as a whole, and a wide rubber-elastic tape having a width of 40 to 55% of the rear width is provided in the center of the waist of the back body in the width direction of the waist. The front body has a switching line that curves downward from the waist part sewn to the tape to the center of the abdomen, and the switching line is below the switching line. A lower abdomen made of a highly elastic material having a substantially inverted triangle shape with the line as the upper side is formed, and the upper abdomen above the switching line and the lower part of the tape on the back body are made of a flexible material In addition, there is disclosed a prenatal girdle characterized in that the lower abdomen and the upper abdomen are sewn with a dart taken at the center of the abdomen.

JP 2008-144319 A Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-59011 Japanese Patent No. 4309993

  It is recommended that conventional maternity belts as disclosed in Patent Document 1 be firmly fixed at the correct position in order to enhance the effect, and the fixing position of the lower abdominal belt part is adjusted using a hook-and-loop fastener at the time of wearing Since it is comprised so that it can adjust to an appropriate position according to the extent of the swelling of a lower abdomen.

  However, it is not easy for general pregnant women to accurately determine whether or not the abdominal belt fixing position such as the lower abdomen belt is correct, and if the fixing position is incorrect, the desired effect cannot be obtained. Not only that, but the abdominal band was fastened and fixed at the wrong position, there was a possibility of feeling uncomfortable pressure or having an adverse effect on the fetus or mother.

  In addition, even if the abdominal band can be fixed in the correct position in a standing posture, the abdominal band pressure changes because the shape of the abdomen and buttocks and the position of the bones around the pelvis change when the posture changes to the sitting position. However, even if the abdominal girdle can be fixed in the correct position in the sitting position, the shape of the abdomen and buttocks and the pelvic area Since the position of the bone changes, the feeling of pressure on the abdominal band changes and the comfortable state is not always maintained.

  In the case of a pregnant woman band integrally incorporated in shorts as described in Patent Document 2, not only a troublesome operation of fixing the abdominal band every time it is worn, but also the fixing position is an appropriate position. There is no need to determine whether or not.

  However, the “stretchable net fabric” sewn on the lining side of the body fabric as described in Patent Document 2 with sufficient support force obtained by a thick elastic belly band disclosed in Patent Document 1 It was difficult to secure.

  If a strong elastic “stretchable net” such as a power net is used to secure such a large bearing capacity, not only will the overall tightening force act, but the body will feel uncomfortable. As a result of being greatly different from the stretch properties of the fabric, there is also a problem that the comfort is deteriorated.

  Further, in a girdle having an “inverted triangular lower abdomen made of a strong elastic material” made of a stretchable fabric lined on a body fabric composed of a knitted fabric as described in Patent Document 3, “elasticity” `` An inverted triangular lower abdomen made of strong material '' acts to push the lower abdomen of the pregnant woman uniformly upward, but against the abdomen at the boundary with the body fabric side where the pushing force outside the edge does not act Not only does it feel uncomfortable because the tightening force changes abruptly, but there is also the problem that it takes time to attach and detach for pregnant women with restrictions on posture due to the characteristic of a girdle with a strong tightening force overall. It was.

  In view of the above-described problems, the object of the present invention is to attach and detach easily and be gentle to the skin even if the wearer is a pregnant woman or a patient with abdominal lymphedema, etc. It is in the point which provides the clothing for lower body which has the abdominal support function with the comfortable wearing which acts.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, the first characteristic configuration of the lower body garment having the abdominal support function according to the present invention is a body fabric having stretchability as described in claim 1 of the claims. A lower body garment having an abdominal support function comprising a torso, a pair of left and right legs, and a crotch, comprising a lower edge having at least a central portion in the left-right direction disposed at the crotch height, and a left intestine The body cloth is made of a stretchable belt-like fabric having an upper edge that slopes upward from the upper part of the bone part toward the upper part of the right side of the abdomen, and the left and right edges of the trunk part are the left and right side parts of the trunk part so as to cover the abdomen. The right abdominal band part joined to the lower edge, at least the central part in the left-right direction is arranged at the crotch height, and the upper edge inclined upward from the upper part of the right iliac part toward the upper part of the left side abdomen It is made up of stretchy belt-like fabrics with left and right edges on the left and right sides of the torso to cover the abdomen Consists of a stretchy belt-like fabric with a left abdominal band joined to the fillet fabric, a lower edge at least at the center in the left-right direction at the crotch height, and an upper edge connecting the upper left and right side abdomen A central abdominal band part joined to the body cloth at left and right side parts of the torso so as to cover the abdomen, the right abdominal band part, the left abdominal band part, and the central abdominal band part It exists in the point arrange | positioned so that it may overlap in a lower abdomen.

  The wearer's lower abdomen is gently supported by the right abdomen, the left abdomen and the central abdomen so as to protect them from the surroundings. Even if each abdominal band is made of a gentle stretch fabric that is gentle on the skin, a large tension acts on the lower abdomen center where the right abdomen, left abdomen and the central abdomen overlap, and a large support upwards Power can be gained. As a result, even after the middle gestation, even if the uterus grows and hangs down, the support force that effectively lifts the uterus upward from the lower abdomen acts, so the pressure on the bladder is suppressed and frequent urination improves Will come to be. In addition to the left and right abdominal bands that support the abdomen from the center of the lower abdomen to the left and right abdomen, the abdomen is also supported in the central abdominal band, so the support force does not fluctuate rapidly at the upper edges of the left and right abdominal bands Thus, it becomes possible to ensure both extremely good support force and comfort.

  In addition to the first feature configuration described above, the second feature configuration is configured by an elastic band-like fabric having an upper edge and a lower edge, and covers the waist. The left and right edges are further provided with waist support portions joined to the edges of the body cloth or each abdominal band at the left and right sides of the trunk.

  According to the above-described configuration, the lumbar vertebra is supported by the torso support part joined to the edge of each body cloth or each abdominal band part at the left and right side parts of the torso part, and at the same time, the abdomen of the wearer that is put on each abdominal band part The load is supported stably.

  In the third characteristic configuration, as described in the third aspect, in addition to the first or second characteristic configuration described above, the body fabric has a course direction of the knitted fabric along a circumferential direction of the trunk portion. The right belly belt part and the left belly belt part are composed of weft knitted fabrics arranged so that the course direction of the knitted fabric is along the length direction.

  In general, weft knitted fabrics have a feature that the stretchability in the course direction is larger than the stretchability in the wale direction. Therefore, the body cloth arranged so that the course direction is along the circumferential direction of the torso greatly expands and contracts in the circumferential direction of the torso, and the right abdominal belt part and the left are arranged so that the course direction is along the length direction. The abdominal band part expands and contracts greatly in the length direction. As a result, the tightening force acting on the wearer's abdomen is adjusted in the region where the body cloth and the right abdomen and / or the left abdomen overlap, and the region where it does not overlap. A tightening force is generated by the abdominal band and the left abdominal band, and a force to lift the wearer's uterus acts, and the body fabric stretches greatly in the circumferential direction around the umbilicus where the right and left abdominal bands do not overlap. Thus, it acts to release the upper part of the lifted uterus to some extent, so that a comfortable tightening force and comfort can be obtained.

  In the fourth feature configuration, as described in claim 4, in addition to any one of the first to third feature configurations described above, the central abdominal band portion is such that the course direction of the knitted fabric is along the length direction. Is composed of weft knitted fabrics.

  The body cloth arranged so that the course direction is along the circumferential direction of the torso will greatly expand and contract in the circumferential direction of the torso, and the central abdominal band part arranged so that the course direction is along the length direction is in the length direction It expands and contracts greatly. As a result, the tightening force acting on the wearer's abdomen in the region where the body fabric and the central abdomen overlap and the region where the body abdomen does not overlap is adjusted, and the tightening force by the central abdomen along the left and right abdomen from the center of the lower abdomen The force that lifts the uterus of the wearer acts, and in the heart region where the central abdominal band does not overlap, the body cloth stretches greatly in the circumferential direction and acts to release the upper part of the lifted uterus to some extent Thus, a comfortable tightening force and comfort can be obtained. The height may be set so that the region where the central abdominal band does not overlap extends to the epigastric region and the left and right seasons, but the region where the central abdominal band does not overlap is the epigastric region and the left and right If the height is set so as not to reach the season, it is preferable that the stomach is not compressed.

  In the fifth feature configuration, as described in claim 5, in addition to any of the first to fourth feature configurations described above, the central abdominal belt portion is more than the right abdominal belt portion and the left abdominal belt portion. It is located on the skin side.

  The region where the central abdominal band, the right abdominal band and the left abdominal band overlap is the largest support force for the abdomen, the overlapping region of the central abdominal band and the right abdominal band and the overlapping region of the central abdominal band and the left abdominal band The next largest support force acts on the abdomen, and the central abdomen portion where neither the right abdominal band portion nor the left abdominal belt portion overlaps the smallest support force on the abdomen. In such a case, if the central abdominal band with the largest area facing the abdomen is placed on the skin side, the pressure that the edges of the right abdominal band and the left abdominal band bite into the skin is dispersed in the central abdominal band As a result, good comfort can be obtained.

  In the sixth feature configuration, as described in claim 6, in addition to the fifth feature configuration described above, the right abdomen, the left abdomen, and the central abdomen are arranged on the outer side of the body cloth. It is in the point.

  Since the body cloth that has the largest area facing the abdomen is placed on the skin side, pressure is applied to the body cloth so that the edge of the overlapped area of the central, right and left abdominal belts bites into the skin. As a result, good comfort can be obtained.

  In addition to any one of the first to fifth characteristic configurations described above, the seventh characteristic configuration includes the right abdominal belt portion, the left abdominal belt portion, and the central abdominal belt portion. A part of the edge is joined at the crotch portion.

  A reaction force acting from the lower abdomen of the wearer on the support force generated in the right abdomen, the left abdomen and the center abdomen is received at the joint position of the crotch, so that a stable support force can be obtained.

  In the eighth feature configuration, in addition to any of the first to seventh feature configurations described above, the right and left sides of the right abdominal band portion, the left abdominal belt portion, and the central abdominal belt portion may be provided. The edge is joined to the body cloth on the back body side with respect to the center of the left and right side portions of the trunk.

  As the pregnant woman's age progresses and the abdomen swells, the fabric covering the abdomen expands greatly. Even in such a case, if the left and right edges of each abdominal band part are joined to the body cloth on the back body side with respect to the center of the left and right side parts of the torso, The balance of the front and back body parts can be maintained. In the case where the waist support portion is provided, a better balance can be maintained.

  In addition to any one of the first to eighth characteristic configurations described above, the ninth characteristic configuration is the lower edge of the right abdominal band part and the left abdominal band part, as described in claim 9. It exists in the point arrange | positioned so that it may be located more upward.

  When the lower abdomen is supported by the right abdomen and the left abdomen, if the buttocks are pressed, lymph flow may be inhibited and edema may occur. However, if the lower edges of the left and right abdomen are positioned above the buttocks, lymph flow will not be disturbed, and the lower abdomen can be lifted by the left and right abdomen. Even in patients who develop lymphedema, lymph flow is improved and symptoms are improved.

  In the tenth feature configuration, as described in claim 10, in addition to any of the first to ninth feature configurations described above, the body cloth has a larger elongation rate on the opening side of the trunk portion. It is in the point which is switched as follows.

  When the lower body garment having the abdominal support function is worn, the opening side of the trunk is positioned around the epigastric region. If this area is compressed by the contraction force of the body cloth, the stomach may be compressed by the uterus, which may cause discomfort in the so-called late pregnancy morning sickness. If switching is performed so that the expansion rate is increased, such discomfort can be greatly reduced.

  In the eleventh characteristic configuration, as described in claim 11, in addition to any one of the first to tenth characteristic configurations described above, the body fabric and the belt-shaped fabric include a heat-deformable elastic yarn and the others. The yarn is knitted by plating knitting, and is composed of a weft knitted fabric that is unwound by heat deformation of the heat-deformable elastic yarn.

  Using such a weft knitted fabric that has been processed to prevent unwinding eliminates the need for end processing to prevent unraveling, and the fabric thickness may increase at the region where each fabric is superimposed or at the edge of that region. There is no, and good comfort can be secured.

  According to the twelfth characteristic configuration, as described in claim 12, in addition to the eleventh characteristic configuration described above, the trunk portion is a tubular knitted fabric in which a front body and a rear body are knitted integrally. Or the front body and the back body are composed of a tubular knitted fabric joined with an adhesive.

  With such a tubular knitted fabric, for example, even when the opening end of the body portion is too long, it can be cut to an appropriate length, and unraveling occurs without special end portion processing. There is nothing.

  As described above, according to the present invention, even if the wearer is a pregnant woman, a patient with abdominal lymphedema, etc., it is easy to attach and detach and is gentle to the skin, but a sufficient tightening force acts on the necessary part. It is now possible to provide a lower body garment having a comfortable abdominal support function.

Hereinafter, a lower body garment having an abdominal support function according to the present invention will be described.
1, 2, and 3 show the appearance of a lower-body garment 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as “lower-body garment 1”) having a flat-mounted abdomen support function. The lower body garment 1 is formed of a stretchable body fabric, and includes a body 2 composed of a front body 3 and a back body 4, a pair of left and right legs 5, 6, and a crotch 7. Reference numeral 2A denotes a body opening.

  The body fabric is composed of a milled knitted fabric mixed with cotton yarn and polyurethane yarn, and more specifically, a cylindrical knitted fabric knitted with a circular knitting machine. An upper end and a lower end of the tubular knitted fabric are cut, an upper end is formed in the trunk portion opening 2A, and a lower end is formed in the leg portions 5 and 6. The center part of the lower end of the tubular knitted fabric is cut out from front to back, and a rectangular gusset fabric is joined to the body fabric to constitute a part of the legs 5 and 6 and the crotch portion 7. In addition, the crotch part 7 may not be provided with a separate gusset fabric, and in this case, the area within 10 cm from the branch point of the legs 5 and 6 is defined as the crotch part 7. A cotton pad is joined to the skin side of the crotch portion 7.

  On the front side of the body cloth, a piece of cloth that becomes the right abdominal band part 30, the left abdominal band part 32, and the central abdominal band part 34 is joined to the front body 3 side, and a piece of cloth that becomes the waist support part 40 is joined to the back body 4 side. ing. The central abdominal band part 34, the left abdominal band part 32, and the right abdominal band part 30 are arranged in this order from the skin side. The central abdominal band part 34 is preferably disposed on the skin side of the left abdominal band part 32 and the right abdominal band part 30, and any of the left abdominal band part 32 and the right abdominal band part 30 may be disposed on the skin side. .

  In this specification, the term “joining” is used as a general term for a process of integrally joining fabrics, specifically, a sewing process in which sewing is performed with a thread, and an adhesive process in which an adhesive made of a thermoplastic resin is used for bonding. Etc. are included. In the following, an example of joining mainly by a sewing process will be described, but it goes without saying that an adhesion process may be used.

  Examples of the thermoplastic resin used as the adhesive include polyurethane hot melt resin, polyester hot melt resin, polyamide hot melt resin, EVA hot melt resin, polyolefin hot melt resin, styrene elastomer resin, and moisture curable urethane. System hot melt resin, reactive hot melt resin and the like. Among them, the reactive hot melt resin is particularly preferable because it has high adhesive strength and can be bonded in a short time.

  For the convenience of the following description, FIG. 5 shows the correspondence between the abdominal region and the lower body garment 1 when the upper and lower left and right are divided into three parts centering on the arrangement of the navel. The upper region of the umbilical region E is the epigastric region B, the lower region is the lower abdominal region H, the right region of the umbilical region E is the right abdominal region D, the left region is the left abdominal region F, the right region of the epigastric region B is the right heel region A, the left side The region is referred to as the left heel region C, the right region of the lower abdomen H is referred to as the right iliac portion G, and the left region is referred to as the left iliac portion I.

  As shown in FIG. 4 (a), the central abdominal band portion 34 includes a lower edge 34L inclined downward from the lower left and right iliac portions toward the crotch portion 7 and the left and right sides when the lower garment 1 is worn. It is made of a stretchable belt-like cloth having an upper edge 34U that connects the upper part of the abdomen, and right and left end edges 34S are joined to the body cloth at the left and right side parts 8 of the trunk part 2 so as to cover the abdomen.

  As shown in FIG. 4 (b), the left abdominal band portion 32 includes a lower edge 32L inclined downward from the lower left and right iliac portions toward the crotch portion 7 and the right It is composed of a stretchable belt-like fabric having an upper edge 32U inclined upward from the upper part of the bone part toward the upper part of the left flank part. It is joined to the fabric.

  As shown in FIG. 4 (c), the right abdominal band portion 30 includes a lower edge 30L inclined downward from the lower left and right iliac portions toward the crotch portion 7 when the lower body garment 1 is worn, It is composed of a stretchable belt-like fabric having an upper edge 30U inclined upward from the upper part of the bone part toward the upper part of the right side abdomen, and the left and right end edges 30S are the left and right side parts 8 of the trunk part 2 so as to cover the abdomen. It is joined to the fabric.

  The lower edge 34L of the central abdominal band 34, the lower edge 32L of the left abdominal band part 32, and the lower edge 30L of the right abdominal band part 30 are arranged at substantially the same position. The right side of the upper edge 30U of the abdominal band 30 is positioned at the same height, and the left side of the upper edge 34U of the central abdominal band 34 and the left side of the upper edge 32U of the left abdominal band 32 are positioned at the same height. The right abdominal band part 30, the left abdominal band part 32, and the central abdominal band part 34 are arranged so as to overlap in the lower abdomen.

As shown in FIG. 3, the waist support portion 40 is formed of a stretchable belt-like fabric having an upper edge 40U and a lower edge 40L, and the left and right end edges 40S cover the waist and the left and right side portions 8 of the trunk portion 2 are covered. It is joined to the fabric. The left and right edge 40S of the waist support part 40 may be directly joined to the right and left end parts of the right abdominal band part 30, the left abdominal band part 32, and the central abdominal band part 34, and the left and right end parts and the body cloth of each abdominal band part. They may be joined together.

  The right abdominal band part 30, the left abdominal band part 32, the central abdominal band part 34, and the waist support part 40 are all made of a milled knitted fabric knitted by mixing cotton yarn and polyurethane yarn in the same manner as the body cloth.

  6, 7, and 8 show the appearance of the above-described lower body garment 1 in a worn state. In the present embodiment, the front body 3 and the back body 4 are configured as separate bodies and are joined by the side portions 8. As in the previous embodiment, the right abdominal band part 30, the left abdominal band part 32, and the central abdominal band part 34 are gently supported so that the lower abdomen of the wearer is protected from the surroundings, and the lumbar vertebra is supported by the lumbar support part 40. Is done.

  Even if each of the abdominal band portions 30, 32, 34 is formed of a gentle stretch fabric that is gentle on the skin, a large tension acts on the lower abdominal center portion where the right abdominal belt portion 30, the left abdominal belt portion 32, and the central abdominal belt portion 34 overlap. Thus, a large supporting force toward the upper side can be obtained.

  As a result, even if the uterus becomes large and hangs down after the second trimester, a supporting force that effectively lifts the uterus upward from the lower abdomen acts without causing deterioration of comfort. In particular, since a large supporting force acts upward at the center of the lower abdomen, the compression of the bladder is effectively suppressed and frequent urination is improved.

  Further, since the abdomen is supported by the central abdominal band part 34 in addition to the left and right abdominal band parts 30 and 32 that support the abdomen from the center of the lower abdomen to the left and right side parts, the upper edges 30U and 32U of the left and right abdominal band parts 30 and 32 The support force does not fluctuate abruptly, and it is possible to ensure both extremely good support force and comfort.

  The body fabric constituting the body part 2 and the leg parts 5 and 6 is composed of a weft knitted fabric so that the course direction of the knitted fabric is along the circumferential direction of the body part 2, whereas the right abdominal belt part 30 and the left abdominal belt part 32 are composed of weft knitted fabrics arranged so that the course direction of the knitted fabric is along the length direction.

  In general, weft knitted fabrics have a feature that the stretchability in the course direction is larger than the stretchability in the wale direction. Therefore, the body cloth arranged so that the course direction is along the circumferential direction of the torso 2 greatly expands and contracts in the circumferential direction of the torso 2, and the right abdominal belt part is arranged so that the course direction is along the length direction. 30 and the left abdominal band part 32 come to expand and contract greatly in the length direction.

  As a result, the tightening force in the waist direction and the length direction acting on the wearer's abdomen in the region where the body fabric and the right abdomen 30 and / or the left abdomen 32 are overlapped and the region where the body is not overlapped is adjusted, and the center of the lower abdomen is adjusted. A tightening force is generated by the right abdominal band part 30 and the left abdominal band part 32 along the left and right side abdomen, causing a force to lift the wearer's uterus upward, and the right abdominal band part 30 and the left abdominal band part 32 may overlap. In the vicinity of the umbilicus, the body cloth greatly extends in the circumferential direction, and acts to release the upper part of the lifted uterus to some extent, so that a comfortable tightening force and comfort can be obtained.

  The central abdomen 34 is also preferably composed of a weft knitted fabric so that the course direction of the knitted fabric is along the length direction, and is worn in a region where the body fabric and the central abdomen 34 overlap and a region where it does not overlap The tightening force acting on the abdomen of the wearer is adjusted, and the tightening force generated by the central abdominal band from the center of the lower abdomen along the left and right abdomen acts to lift the wearer's uterus, and the central abdomen overlaps In the epigastric region and the right and left seasons, the body fabric stretches greatly in the circumferential direction, and acts to release the upper part of the lifted uterus to some extent, so that a comfortable tightening force and comfort can be obtained. become.

  The region where the central abdominal band part 34, the right abdominal band part 30 and the left abdominal band part 32 are overlapped has the greatest supporting force on the abdomen, and the overlapping region of the central abdominal band part 34 and the right abdominal band part 30 and the central abdominal band part 34 and the left The next largest support force acts on the abdomen in the overlapping region of the abdominal band part 32, and the central abdominal band part 34 that does not overlap with either the right abdominal band part 30 or the left abdominal band part 32 has the smallest support force on the abdomen. .

  In such a case, when the central abdominal band part 34 having the largest area facing the abdomen is arranged on the skin side, pressure is applied so that the edges of the right abdominal band part 30 and the left abdominal band part 32 bite into the skin. Since the portion 34 is dispersed at the boundary of the edge portion, good comfort can be obtained.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the right abdominal band part 30, the left abdominal band part 32, and the central abdominal band part 34 are disposed on the outer side of the body cloth, so that the body cloth having the largest area facing the abdomen is disposed on the skin side. Thus, the pressure that the edge of the overlapping region of the central abdominal band part 34, the right abdominal band part 30, and the left abdominal band part 32 bites into the skin is dispersed in the body cloth so that good comfort can be obtained. Become.

  It is preferable that a part of the lower edge of the right abdominal band part 30, the left abdominal band part 32, and the central abdominal band part 34 (the lowermost part of the center) is joined to the body cloth at the crotch part 7. The reaction force acting from the lower abdomen of the wearer with respect to the support force generated at 32 and the central abdomen 34 is received at the joint position of the crotch part 7 and a stable support force can be obtained. The desired effect can be obtained even if the lower abdominal band part 30, the left abdominal band part 32, and the lower edge part of the central abdominal band part 34 (the lowermost part of the center) are not joined to the body cloth.

  The upper edges 30U, 32U, 34U of the right abdominal band part 30, the left abdominal band part 32, and the central abdominal band part 34 and the lower edges 30L, 32L, 34L except for the crotch part 7 are not joined to the body cloth and floated from the body cloth. It becomes a state, and it is comprised so that a certain amount of relative movement may be permitted between a body cloth and each stomach band part according to a wearer's attitude | position. As a result, even if the posture changes variously such as standing position, sitting position, lateral position, etc., it is possible to maintain a gentle abdominal support state without the local abnormal tension that occurs when each edge is joined. become.

  The lower edges 30L, 32L of the right abdominal band part 30 and the left abdominal band part 32 are preferably arranged so as to be located above the buttocks. When the lower abdomen of the wearer is supported by the right abdominal band part 30 and the left abdominal band part 32, if the buttocks are pressed, the lymph flow may be inhibited and edema may occur.

  If the lower edges 30L, 32L of the left and right abdominal band portions 30, 32 are arranged so as to be located above the buttocks, the lymph flow is not hindered, and the left and right abdominal band portions 30, 32 are not disturbed. By lifting the lower abdomen, even in patients who have developed lymphedema, lymph flow is improved and symptoms are improved.

  In the present embodiment, the body fabric and the belt-like fabrics 30, 32, 34, and 40 are both heat-set processed by knitting a heat-deformable elastic yarn such as a low melting point polyurethane yarn and other yarns such as cotton yarn by plating. The heat-deformable elastic yarn is composed of a weft knitted fabric that is unwound and processed by being thermally deformed.

  Plated knitted fabric knitted by feeding knitting needles from different yarn feeders has a stable placement of low-melting polyurethane elastic yarn and cotton yarn in each knitting loop, so low-melting polyurethane elasticity is applied to all loops If the low melting point polyurethane elastic yarn is melted by heat setting after knitting, the fraying prevention function can be surely exhibited in all the loops of the knitted fabric.

  The horizontal knitted fabric is knitted into a cylindrical seamless knitted fabric using a circular knitting machine, then set on a setting machine, heat set at 150 to 190 ° C., and after passing through a dyeing process as necessary, is set again on the setting machine. The final heat setting is performed at a temperature of 100 to 120 ° C. while being set and under tension.

  In addition to using a heat-fusible elastic yarn such as a low-melting point polyurethane elastic yarn as the heat-deformable elastic yarn, it is also possible to use a polyurethane urea elastic fiber. Due to heat treatment such as heat set processing, the polyurethane urea elastic fibers are compressed and deformed at the contact points between the polyurethane urea elastic fibers or between the polyurethane urea elastic fibers and the partner yarn, and the polyurethane urea elastic fibers are bonded to each other or against the polyurethane urea elastic fibers. Since the yarns are fixed, the polyurethane urea elastic fibers and the partner yarns are not easily removed from the knitted fabric, and a knitted fabric in which curling and unwinding are suppressed can be obtained.

  That is, fibers other than the low-melting point polyurethane elastic yarn and the polyurethane urea elastic yarn can be used as long as they are heat-deformable elastic yarns having a characteristic of being melted or compressed and deformed by heat treatment. The heat deformation temperature means a temperature at which heat deformation is performed in order to embody a detent function, such as a softening temperature of polyurethane and a compression deformation temperature of polyurethane urea.

  By using such a weft knitted fabric that has been processed to prevent unraveling, the edge processing for unraveling the cut end is not necessary, so that the fabric thickness is increased at the region where each fabric is superimposed or at the edge of the region. There is no increase in size and good comfort can be secured.

  When the lower body garment 1 is worn, the opening 2A side of the torso 2 is positioned around the epigastric region, and when this part is compressed by the contractile force of the body cloth, the stomach part is compressed by the uterus, for example. There is a possibility that it promotes morning sickness, which is a so-called late pregnancy, that provides a pleasant feeling. Even in such a case, for example, by adjusting the length of the trunk opening 2A in a ring shape so as to shorten the length, the stomach can be opened and the discomfort can be resolved. In addition, when joining the front body 3 and the back body 4 by a side part, it is preferable to join by an adhesion | attachment process so that a tear may not arise even if the trunk | drum opening 2A side is cut | disconnected.

  The lower limit of the stretching force at 30% constant elongation in the width direction of the body fabric (JIS L1096 B method) is preferably 0.05N, more preferably the lower limit can be exemplified by 0.1N, and the upper limit is preferably 2N. The upper limit is 1.5N, and a more preferable upper limit is 1N.

  The lower limit of 30% constant stretching force (JIS L1096 B method) in the width direction of the left and right abdomen is preferably 0.4N (* 0.4N is correct?), More preferably 0.5N The upper limit is preferably 5N, the more preferable upper limit is 3.5N, and the more preferable upper limit is 3N.

  The lower limit of 30% constant elongation force (JIS L1096 B method) in the width direction of the central abdominal band is preferably 0.05N, more preferably 0.1N can be exemplified, and the upper limit is preferably 5N. A preferred upper limit is 3N, and a more preferred upper limit is 2N.

  If the stretching force at 30% constant elongation in the width direction is at the above level, moderate support force is demonstrated by the elongation of the fabric when worn, and the abdomen can be supported without tightening too much, preferable.

  Stretching force at 30% constant elongation in the width direction of the body fabric (JIS L1096 B method) is equal to or less than the stretching force at 30% constant elongation in the width direction of either the left or right abdominal band part, central abdominal band part, or each abdominal band part If it is less than that, the stretching force at a constant elongation of 30% in the width direction of the body can be: body fabric <fabric of the middle stomach band <fabric of the left and right stomach bands.

  More preferably, at the same time, the stretching force at 30% constant elongation in the width direction of the fabric of the left and right abdomen is 1.5 times or more of the stretching force at 30% constant elongation in the width direction of the body fabric 4 It is preferably less than double. Thus, by setting the stretching force at the time of 30% constant elongation in the width direction of each fabric, the effect of lifting the abdomen is effectively exhibited, but there is no cramped feeling of the abdomen and an appropriate support feeling is obtained. Therefore, it is preferable.

  The stretch recovery rate in the width direction of the body fabric (JIS L1096 D method) is preferably from 50 to 100%, more preferably from 60 to 100%, and even more preferably from 70 to 100% after repeated 30% stretching.

  The stretch recovery rate (JIS L1096 D method) in the width direction of the central abdominal band is preferably 60 to 100%, more preferably 70 to 100%, and still more preferably 80 to 100% in 30% stretch repetition.

  The stretch recovery rate in the width direction of the left and right abdomen (JIS L1096 D method) is preferably 60 to 100%, more preferably 75 to 100%, and still more preferably 90 to 100% in 30% repeated elongation.

  The stretch recovery rate in the width direction of each fabric is in the above range, so that it is easy to attach and detach, and the dimensional change due to repeated wearing is suppressed, so that the so-called sagging is kept small, and the quality of clothing as long-term It is preferable because it is maintained.

  It is preferable that the right and left end edges of the right abdominal band part 30, the left abdominal band part 32, and the central abdominal band part 34 are joined to the body cloth on the back body side with respect to the center of the left and right side parts of the trunk. For example, as the age of the pregnant woman advances and the abdomen swells, the fabric covering the abdomen greatly expands.

  Even in such a case, if the left and right end edges 30S, 32S, 34S of the abdominal band portions 30, 32, 34 are joined to the body cloth on the back body side with respect to the left and right side portions center of the torso 2, the age is increased. Regardless of this, it is possible to maintain a good balance between the support force of the lumbar support part and the support force of the lower abdomen by each abdominal band part.

  Each of the lower edge 30L of the right abdominal band part 30, the lower edge 32L of the left abdominal band part 32, and the lower edge 34L of the central abdominal band part 34 is inclined downward toward the crotch part 7 from the lower part of the left and right iliac parts. However, the lower edge of each abdominal band part is only required to be arranged at the crotch height, for example, the entire lower edge is arranged at the crotch height. May be. Moreover, the lower edge shape of each abdominal band part does not necessarily need to correspond in the overlapping state, and some deviation may occur.

  The lower body garment 1 may be configured not to include the lumbar support portion 40. Even in such a configuration, the left and right end edges 30S, 32S, 34S of the abdominal band portions 30, 32, 34 are provided. If it is joined to the body cloth on the back body side with respect to the center of the left and right side parts of the torso 2, the lower abdomen support force by each abdominal band and the balance of the front and back body parts can be maintained regardless of the age.

  When the front body and the back body are configured separately, the width of the front body 3 is configured to be longer than the width of the back body 4, and the left and right ends of the abdominal band portions 30, 32, 34 It is preferable that the joining positions of the edges 30S, 32S, and 34S coincide with the joining positions of the front body 3 and the back body 4.

  It is preferable that the body cloth is switched so that the elongation rate is increased on the opening 2A side of the trunk portion 2. As described above, when the age of the baby advances and the epigastric region is compressed by the shrinkage force of the body cloth, there is a possibility that it promotes morning sickness that causes discomfort. If switching is performed so that the extension rate is increased on the opening 2A side, such discomfort can be greatly reduced.

  The lower body garment having the abdominal support function described in the above embodiment is an example of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited by the description, and the specific configuration of each part (body cloth and each abdominal band part) Needless to say, the type of the knitted fabric, the yarn type, the fineness, and the like constituting the knitted fabric can be appropriately changed and designed within the range where the effects of the present invention are exhibited.

  The present invention is suitable for use as a lower body garment having a comfortable abdominal support function in which a sufficient tightening force is applied to a necessary part while being easy to attach and detach, and is gentle to the skin, such as maternity shorts. Can be used.
