Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an improvement in a bodysuit worn when exercising or working.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A body suit is a close-fitting suit worn during exercise and work. A typical example of a bodysuit is a wetsuit. This is often worn by surfers, divers and fishermen. Recently, there is a tendency to wear body suits in competitions such as skiing, and professional wrestlers sometimes wear body suits.
[0003]
A bodysuit is an integrated upper trunk and lower trunk, and belongs to a kind of one piece. The upper trunk has arms and the lower trunk has legs. Such a body suit has high airtightness and liquid-tightness in terms of material and shape, and adheres to the body as described above when worn. The body suit has a neck opening on the upper trunk side that expands and contracts.
[0004]
In the initial stage of taking off the body suit, one shoulder is pulled out of the suit from the opening while expanding the opening of the neck, and at the same time, one arm is extracted from the arm. This is difficult for the wearer to do alone, and in many cases requires the assistance of others. However, after this, one of the shoulders and arms becomes free so that only the wearer can perform the subsequent undressing operation.
[0005]
Many improvements have been made to make it easier to take off bodysuits. They are roughly divided into the following two types. One is to provide fasteners from the neck to the back on the back of the upper trunk. The other is to provide a flap (folding) heel from the neck to the chest on the front of the upper trunk. In the former case, the fastener can open the neck of the upper trunk from the neck to the back, making it easier to take off the bodysuit. Even in the latter case, the flap-type heel can be deployed to increase the opening of the neck, making it easier to take off the bodysuit than without it.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, body suits with fasteners have the following disadvantages. That is, the fastener forms a relatively hard and poor-feeling part of the bodysuit and does not expand or contract in the length direction. The adverse effect is conspicuous in the wet suit for surfers. For example, when a surfer bends down, the fastener does not extend to the rear area along the spine, so it restricts the ability of the surfer to try to bend or puts a wet suit on the neck and crotch. When the surfer is bowed, the fastener does not shrink, and the neck part rides behind the surfer's neck. Therefore, wet suits are forced to design fasteners that are slightly shorter or longer than ideal.
[0007]
On the other hand, in a bodysuit with a flap-type heel, it is as if it is easy to take off by increasing the opening of the neck. However, in a wearing state where both arms are in close contact with both arms of the suit, it is not easy to extract the shoulder from the neck opening even if the neck opening is widened. Therefore, it still requires help from others.
[0008]
Both of the above types further impose restrictions on the design, cutting, sewing, etc. of the bodysuit, making them difficult. This is also a factor in increasing the cost of bodysuits.
[0009]
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
In view of such a technical problem, the present invention is intended to provide a body suit that is simple in configuration and easy to undress at low cost.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The body suit according to claim 1 of the present invention is characterized by the following problem solving means in order to achieve the intended purpose. That is, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a body suit having an upper trunk having an arm portion and a lower trunk having a leg portion and having a neck portion having an opening that also serves as a suit detaching opening is provided in the upper trunk. There is one or more tension operation members for expanding and deforming the opening of the neck portion by a pulling operation on the back side of the bodysuit , and having an attachment portion and a grip portion, and the attachment portion of the tension operation member is an upper trunk It is attached to the arbitrary location of the site | part containing from the neck part to a shoulder part and the back part under a shoulder part .
[0011]
Bodysuit according to claim 2 of the present invention, it said the claim in 1 as described, is either the pull tension operating member is an inner shell selected for the elongated, U-shaped · V-shaped ring-shaped To do.
[0012]
The body suit according to claim 3 of the present invention is the body suit according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the tension operation member is an elongated shape, a U shape, a V shape, a ring shape, a mounting portion branching shape, a mounting portion enlarged shape, and a gripping portion. It is one selected from ring shapes.
[0013]
A body suit according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the body suit according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the upper trunk has a flap-type heel.
[0014]
[Action]
The body suit of the present invention is worn while greatly expanding the opening of the neck. This is no different from wearing a conventional suit. At that time, the pulling operation member on the neck side is stored in the upper trunk of the body suit. When taking off the body suit of the present invention, the gripping portion of the pulling operation member taken out from the upper trunk through the neck opening is pulled down with one hand (eg left hand). This extends the suit neck, widens its opening, and exposes the wearer's shoulder (eg left shoulder). At this time, grasp the edge around the neck with the right hand to further widen the neck opening, and then escape the left shoulder from it, or pull out the left arm from the left arm of the suit. This frees the left shoulder and left arm. Therefore, the right shoulder and right arm are allowed to escape while expanding the neck opening of the suit with the left hand. After putting both shoulders / arms out of the suit, lower the bodysuit and take it off as if removing the slacks.
[0015]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of a bodysuit according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0016]
The body suit of the present invention illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 6 is one in which an upper trunk 11 and a lower trunk 21 are integrated with each other. Such body suits belong to the one-piece class. Of the upper and lower trunks, the upper trunk 11 has a neck portion 12 and two arm portions 15 and 16 at predetermined portions. A collar 13 is attached to the edge of the neck 12 and there is an opening 14 there. The opening 14 is used as a desorption port when a suit is put on or taken off. Therefore, the opening 14 can be greatly expanded by utilizing the elasticity of the suit material. More specifically about the upper trunk 11, this includes the shoulders, torso, heels, elbows, cuffs, and other parts. However, since these are self-explanatory, explanation is omitted. The lower trunk 21 has two legs 22 and 23. The lower trunk 21 also has the waist, hips, crotch, knees, hem and other parts, but the description thereof is omitted for the sake of obviousness.
[0017]
The upper trunk 11, both arm parts 15, 16, lower trunk 21, both leg parts 22, 23, etc. in the above are used for foam fiber, neoprene (trade name: DuPont), etc. It is made by combining different types of fiber materials such as rich elastic materials.
[0018]
In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 6, the tension operation member 31 is made of a long material such as a string, a band, or a tape, and has one end as a mounting portion 32 and the other end as a gripping portion 33. The tension operation member 31 is usually made of any one of natural fiber, synthetic fiber, plastic, or a composite thereof. As a material of the pulling operation member 31, a material that is flexible but strong and hardly stretches is desirable, but a certain degree of stretchability is acceptable. The pulling operation member 31 is attached to any part of the part including the vicinity of the neck 12 from the neck 12 on the back side of the upper trunk 11. Incidentally, in the case of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the attachment portion 32 of the tension operation member 31 is attached to the inner surface of the neck portion 12 (the inner surface of the collar 13) on the back surface (back) side of the upper trunk 11. In this attached state, the tension operation member 31 is biased to the right (or left) from the center of the back surface of the upper trunk 11. What is necessary is just to determine the attachment means of the tension operation member 31 according to the material of a suit, and the material of the tension operation member 31. FIG. Some typical attachment means include sewing, pressure bonding, adhesion, and caulking (metal fitting). The tension operation member 31 may be attached to the predetermined portion by applying a reinforcing piece to the attachment portion 32 thereof. Thus, the pulling operation member 31 attached to a predetermined portion can freely move the grip portion 33 side into and out of the upper trunk 11 through the opening 14 of the neck portion 12.
[0019]
The bodysuit of the present invention illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 6 is as follows when undressing after wearing. First, as shown in FIG. 4, the gripping portion 33 side of the pulling operation member 31 is pulled out of the upper trunk 11 and hung on the back side, and the gripping portion 33 is pulled down with the left hand turned to the back. By doing so, the neck 12 is extended, the opening 14 is expanded, and the left shoulder of the wearer is exposed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, a part of the collar 13 is grasped with the right hand to further widen the opening 14. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the left shoulder is escaped from the opening 14 or the left arm is pulled out from the arm portion 16. This frees the left shoulder and left arm. Next, the right shoulder and right arm are escaped from the suit while the opening 14 is widened with the left hand. After putting both shoulders and arms out of the suit, lower the bodysuit and take it off.

Among these, the thing of FIG. 7 (A) has the attachment part 32 of the tension | pulling operation member 31 branched in the forked shape. Of course, it may be more than three branches. Since the branch-shaped attachment portion 32 reduces the concentration of the tensile stress locally, the attachment portion of the upper trunk 11 is not easily damaged. In the case of FIG. 7B as well, the attachment portion 32 is enlarged for the same purpose. In FIG. 7B, the attachment portion 32 is an inverted triangle, but this may be a polygon other than a triangle or a circle. In the case of FIG. 7C, the gripping portion 33 of the tension operation member 31 has a loop shape. The loop-shaped gripping portion 33 can insert a hand here and pull the tension operation member 31 without slipping. In FIG. 7D, the entire tension operation member 31 has a loop shape. In this case, any portion of the pulling operation member 31 can be used as the attachment portion 32. If the attachment portion 32 is determined, the gripping portion 33 is also determined. The pulling operation member 31 in FIG. 7D is also desirable in the same manner as that in FIG. 7C in that a clue can be obtained, and the strength of the pulling operation member 31 is increased because the pulling operation member 31 has a double structure. . In the case of FIG. 7E, the tension operation member 31 is U-shaped. This becomes such a shape by bending an elongated material into a U shape. The pulling operation member 31 in FIG. 7E has two attachment portions 32. The pulling operation member 31 in FIG. 7E is also doubled when the two attachment portions 32 are attached to a predetermined part, and thus it is desirable in terms of good clue and strength. The V-shaped pulling operation member 31 is almost the same as the U-shaped pulling operation member 31. Each of the tension operation members 31 illustrated in FIG. 7 is also attached to the neck 12 or the vicinity of the neck according to the above-described contents.
