Description

The present invention relates to a lower limb support clothing having a crotch portion, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a stretchable lower limb support clothing having a stretchable portion having a strong tightening force at a specific portion.

  The knee is the most troublesome part of orthopedics, such as the muscles and ligaments that support the knee with aging, and knee injury caused by sports.

  In recent years, in order to treat and protect knee injuries, it is often performed to tap necessary parts of the human body or wear corsets.

  However, it is difficult to apply taping by yourself, and it is necessary to have other people tap it, but it is not possible for an amateur to tap, so it is necessary to have an expert tap it one by one. Inconvenient. In addition, there are problems such as being unable to wear for a long time and possibly causing skin problems. In addition, the knee joint is fixed, and the degree of freedom of movement of the knee joint is considerably reduced. On the other hand, when the corset is used, since the patella is not sufficiently free, the degree of freedom of movement of the knee joint is also considerably reduced.

  In recent years, various clothes that support specific muscles have been proposed (see Patent Documents 1 to 6 below).

As a clothing having such a muscle support function, a clothing having a relatively strong tightening portion on the muscle to be supported or on the side of the muscle is usually used.
JP-A-4-343868 JP-A-4-57902 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-50302 JP-A-8-81807 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-241906 JP-A-10-280209

  However, the clothes having the muscle support function are not designed with a focus on the protection of the knee.

  Humans tend to try to erect just by standing. That is, the leg is applied with a force to bend inwardly with the inner side of the knee joint as the apex, and the collateral ligament on the inner side of the knee joint (hereinafter referred to as the inner collateral ligament) has more tension. It depends. The medial collateral ligament is covered and protected by the lower tendon portion of the sewed muscle, semi-tendon-like muscle, semi-membranous muscle and thin muscle. However, when these muscles become fatigued or muscle strength decreases due to aging, the ligament alone cannot endure and the knee becomes unstable.

By the way, until now, there has been little study on clothing for supporting and supporting the inner collateral ligament of the knee joint of the human body. However knee medial collateral ligament injuries among the knee joint disease Ru Oh statistically significantly more disease. Therefore, it was found that the medial collateral ligament should be mainly studied to ensure the freedom of movement of the knee and to provide sufficient support for the knee.

  The medial collateral ligament is present on the medial side of the knee joint and slightly behind the medial side of the knee joint so as to connect the vicinity of the lower end of the femur and the vicinity of the upper end of the tibia. An outer collateral ligament exists on the outer side surface of the knee joint opposite to the inner collateral ligament, and exists in a shape that connects the vicinity of the lower end of the femur and the vicinity of the upper end of the radius on the outer side surface of the knee joint. However, the lateral collateral ligament disease is considerably less than the medial collateral ligament disease, and there are many medial collateral ligament diseases. The reason for this is that the inner side collateral ligament has a lower tensile strength than the outer side collateral ligament, and the elongation until rupture is also small. That is, the inner collateral ligament is inferior to the outer collateral ligament in toughness and elasticity.

  As described above, the medial collateral ligament is covered with the lower tendon portion of the sartorius muscle, semi-tendonoid muscle, semi-membranous muscle, or thin muscle, and slightly on the inner side of the knee joint. Since it exists behind the back, no proposals for muscle support clothing have so far been found that specifically addressed the support of the medial collateral ligament.

  Therefore, the present inventors examined the support of the medial collateral ligament mainly to protect the knee more efficiently, keep the knee joint stable, and not reduce the degree of freedom of movement of the knee joint so much. To provide clothing for lower limb support that has a good wearing feeling and is useful for the prevention and reduction of knee pain caused by instability of the knee, as well as the prevention of medial collateral ligament damage caused by sports and others. It is the purpose.

Therefore, the description of the same parts as those shown in FIGS. 93 to 96 is omitted by giving the same reference numerals in the drawings.

  The points other than the above are substantially the same as those of the embodiment shown in FIGS.

That is, a portion 14 protrusion of the lower portion of the patella 1 vertex and tightening force strong elastic portion 124a of the convex portion of the part 4 of the lower portion of the patella 1 of strong elastic portion 121a of tightening force The apex is in contact under the patella 1. 93 to 96 can perform the same function as the lower limb support clothing, and the portions indicated by 4 and 14 are in contact with each other, so that the position of the end portion of the clothing under the knee is stably in the lower knee. It stays and is less likely to break down.

  Next, FIGS. 113 to 116 are views showing still another reference embodiment of a semi-long tights type lower limb support clothing of a reference example, FIG. 113 is a rear view thereof, FIG. 114 is a front view thereof, FIG. 115 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA ′ of FIG. 114, and FIG. 116 is a right side view thereof.

The clothing of this embodiment is a modification of the clothing of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 109 to 112. In the clothing of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 109 to 112, the stretchable part (A ² 1) 121a having a strong tightening force and This is a mode in which the stretchable part (B ² ) 124a having a strong tightening force is in contact with the lower side of the patella so that it is not a point contact but a little wider. Therefore, the description of the same parts as those shown in FIGS. 109 to 112 is omitted by giving the same reference numerals in the drawings.

That is, a portion 14 of the lower portion of the patella 1 of strong elastic portion 124a part 4 and the tightening force of the lower portion of the patella 1 of strong elastic portion 121a of tightening force is connected under the patella 1 It supports the knee from the left and right and below. Therefore, the same function as the lower limb support clothing of FIGS. 109 to 112 can be exhibited, and the function of supporting the knee from below is somewhat enhanced.

In addition, in the case of this aspect, when forming a stretchable portion having a strong tightening force by forming a stretchable fabric of a predetermined shape on the clothing body and stitching it, the tightening force is strong. coupled with some 14 of the lower portion of the patella 1 of part 4 and the tightening force strong elastic portion 124a of the lower portion of the patella 1 of the stretchable portion 121a is stronger elastic portion 121a and the tightening of tightening force It is possible to use a single fabric in which the strong elastic portion 124a is formed of a continuous cloth and this portion is connected in advance, or the elastic portion 121a having a strong tightening force and the elastic force having a strong tightening force . Each of the sex portions 124a may be made of a separate fabric, and the connecting portions may be formed by overlapping and sewing the portions indicated by 4 and 14 of the separate fabrics.

  As described above, some embodiments of the semi-long tights-type lower limb support clothing have been described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the various long tights-type lower limbs illustrated above. The support clothing can be applied as a semi-long tights type with a design in which the lower part is cut from below the knee.

  In addition, as long as the object of the present invention is not hindered, it is not excluded at all that the semi-long tights-type lower limb support clothing is designed so that an upper body portion is further added as necessary. Or, in the garment for supporting the lower limbs of the heel length according to the present invention, it is not excluded at all that a cloth that crosses the sole and connects both hem ends is provided as necessary.

In the long tights type or semi-long tights type lower limb support clothing of the present invention, at least a region on the collateral ligament having a strong elastic force existing on the collateral ligament on the inner side surface of the knee joint. It is preferable that the sewing line of the clothing main body does not pass.

  That is, in both the long tights type and the semi-long tights type clothes of the present invention, it is necessary to form a part covering the leg part in a cylindrical shape, but to form the leg part in a cylindrical shape. For example, a technique of rounding a flat fabric into a cylindrical shape and stitching one edge and the other edge of the fabric is used. In the case where the fabric is made into a cylindrical shape by stitching as described above, in the conventional method, the stitching line is generally sewn so as to pass through the inside of the leg portion.

In the present invention, it is possible to design such a sewing line so that it does not pass through at least the region on the collateral ligament of the elastic part having strong tightening force existing on the collateral ligament on the inner side surface of the knee joint. preferable. In order to facilitate understanding, the sewing line of the clothing main body in which the leg portions are formed in a cylindrical shape will be described with reference to the above-mentioned few drawings with specific examples.

FIG. 117 is a drawing in which a sewing line of a clothing body in which legs are formed in a cylindrical shape is entered in the drawing of FIG. That is, FIG. 117 shows one mode in the case where the sewing line 50 of the clothing body that forms the leg portion in a cylindrical shape passes through the inside of the leg portion. The sewing line 50 of the clothing body which forms the leg part in a cylindrical shape avoids at least the region on the collateral ligament 3 of the elastic part 121 having strong tightening force existing on the collateral ligament 3 on the inner side surface of the knee joint. It is designed to pass over a part of the edge of the elastic part 121 having a strong tightening force . Thus, "a strong elastic portion of tightening forces present on the collateral ligaments of the inner side of the knee joint at least the not to pass through the region on the collateral ligament" and, strong elastic portion of tightening force When passing over the edge of the region on the collateral ligament, it is used in an acceptable sense. Of course, the sewing line may pass through a position slightly away from the region on the collateral ligament of the elastic part having a strong tightening force without passing through the edge of the region on the collateral ligament at all. Of course.

Next, FIG. 118 is a diagram showing a mode different from the mode shown in FIG. 117 for explaining the position of the sewing line of the clothing main body. In FIG. The sewing line of the clothing body to be formed is entered. That is, FIG. 118 shows one mode in the case where the sewing line 51 of the clothing body that forms the leg portion in a cylindrical shape passes through the outside of the leg portion. When the sewing line of the clothing body that forms the leg portion in a cylindrical shape passes outside the leg portion, at least the side of the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force present on the collateral ligament on the inner side surface of the knee joint Since it does not pass through the region on the accessory ligament, in principle, such a sewing line may pass through any position outside the leg. However, if there is an elastic part with strong tightening force on the outside of the leg part, avoid the area of the elastic part with strong tightening force , if possible, along the edge of the sewing line. It is preferable to design the sewing line so that the sewing line passes slightly away from the stretchable region having a strong tightening force . In the example shown in FIG. 118, the sewing line 51 of the clothing main body in which the leg portion is formed in a cylindrical shape is provided in the upper portion along one edge of the elastic portion 121 having a strong tightening force. The sewing line 51 is slightly away from the stretchable part 121 having a strong tightening force from a position that is lowered about 1/3 of the overall length of the clothes from the position 10, and almost passes through the central part on the side of the clothes. Designed.

Next, FIG. 119 is a view showing another embodiment different from the embodiment shown in FIGS. 117 to 118 for explaining the position of the sewing line of the clothing main body. The sewing line of the clothing main body which forms a cylinder shape is entered. That is, FIG. 118 shows another aspect in the case where the sewing line 52 of the clothing body that forms the leg part in a cylindrical shape passes through the outside of the leg part. In the example shown in FIG. 118, the sewing line 52 of the clothing body that forms the leg portion in a cylindrical shape is provided along the rear edge of the elastic portion 156 having a strong tightening force. Since the sewing line is along the edge of the elastic part 156 having a strong tightening force , only the sewing line does not appear separately on the clothing and hardly affects the appearance of the clothing, so that the design is not impaired. Have advantages. In particular, when the stretchable part having a strong tightening force is constituted by a patch cloth, this sewing point is also a sewing point between the patch cloth and the clothing body cloth, so that it does not impair the design and is common. It is preferable that the lower limb support clothing of the present invention can be made with a small number of sewing locations. The above example is an example, but when the elastic part with strong tightening force passes through the outside of the leg part of the clothing and is almost passed from the upper end to the lower end of the clothing, the tightening is performed. It is preferable to provide a sewing line for the clothing main body in which the leg portion is formed in a cylindrical shape along the edge of the strong stretchable portion because of the above-described advantages.

  As mentioned above, although the sewing line of the clothing main body in the case of sewing a leg part in a cylinder shape was demonstrated giving a few specific examples, in this invention, it is not limited to the above-illustrated specific example.

As described above, a preferred aspect of the present invention in which the sewing line of the clothing body does not pass through at least the region on the collateral ligament of the elastic part having strong tightening force existing on the collateral ligament on the inner side surface of the knee joint. If the sewing line of the clothing body passes through at least the area on the inner collateral ligament of the elastic part having a strong tightening force existing on the inner collateral ligament, the elasticity decreases due to the sewing line. By doing, it can prevent that the power which supports an inner side collateral ligament becomes inadequate. Therefore, by adopting a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable that the tightening force of the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force existing on the inner collateral ligament is sufficiently exhibited.

In the clothes of the present invention, as a method for forming the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force , it may be formed by superposing a stretchable fabric of a predetermined shape on the clothes body and stitching it together, Alternatively, the elastic fabrics may be laminated and bonded together. In particular, according to the former method, it is possible to easily manufacture durable clothes. Of course, the elastic part with a strong tightening force and the other parts may be parts of a predetermined shape, respectively, and they may be joined to form the lower limb support clothing of the present invention, but the sewing becomes complicated, Slightly troublesome.

In addition, for example, the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force may be formed by a method in which stretchable fabric having a predetermined shape is stretched on the clothing body and overlapped and stitched or adhered. These methods are suitable when a strong tightening force is applied to the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force.

In addition, stretch and contraction with strong tightening force is achieved by a method of impregnating or coating an elastic resin or rubber solution or emulsion on a predetermined part of the clothing body and then drying, or a method of laminating an elastic resin or rubber film. A sex part may be formed. According to these methods, the thickness of the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force can be made relatively thin. As the synthetic resin having elasticity, polyurethane resin, polyester elastomer resin and other appropriate elastic resins can be applied.

Further, the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force may be formed by a method in which the knitted structure of the stretchable fabric constituting the clothing main body is changed to a knitted structure having a stronger tightening force . According to these methods, since it is not necessary to superimpose, the thickness of the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force can be made thinner. In addition, in the definition of the method of forming a stretchable part having a strong tightening force by switching the knitting structure as described above, among the fiber materials constituting the clothing body, the elastic fiber is thicker than the other part. And a method of forming a stretchable part having a strong tightening force by making the use density of the elastic fiber larger than other parts. Also by this method, it is not necessary to overlap, so that the thickness of the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force can be further reduced.

In addition, when a circular knitted fabric or the like is used as the fabric for forming the clothing, the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force can be formed by a cut boss knitting method.

  Among the methods of forming the strong tightening force portion described above, a method of forming a stretchable fabric of a predetermined shape on a clothing body and stitching it together, and a stretchable fabric of a predetermined shape stretched on the clothing body And easy to sew. In addition, according to these methods, the tightening force of the stretchable fabric sewn to the clothing body may be slightly smaller, the same or larger than the tightening force of the stretchable fabric of the clothing body. This is because, as a result of the stretchable fabric being superimposed on the clothing body, the tightening force of the overlapped portion is increased. The amount of tightening fabric to be stacked may be appropriately selected depending on the type of clothing, the purpose of use, the wearer's preference, and the like.

For ease of understanding, a method for forming a stretchable portion having a strong tightening force by the above-described cut boss knitting method will be described below with reference to FIGS. 120 to 122.

  120 to 121 are cross-sectional conceptual process diagrams for explaining a cut boss knitting method in circular knitting. The side indicated by the dotted arrow A is the front side of the circular knitted fabric, and the side indicated by the dotted arrow B is the back side of the circular knitted fabric.

First, as shown in FIG. 120, when the front yarn 61 and the back yarn 62 are supplied and knitted by the circular knitting machine, the middle yarn 63 is placed between the front yarn 61 and the back yarn 62 at a portion where the tightening force is to be increased by the cut boss method. Inserted between them, the front yarn 61, the middle yarn 63 and the back yarn 62 are supplied together and knitted by a circular knitting machine. This portion is between the arrows 64a and 64b and between the arrows 64c and 64d (the middle thread 63 is shown by a one-dot chain line for easy understanding). Then, in the portion corresponding to the portion where the tightening force is weak, such as the portion between the arrows 64b to 64c, the middle yarn 63 is floated on the back side so that the middle yarn 63 is not inserted between the front yarn 61 and the back yarn 62. Knitting with only the front yarn 61 and the back yarn 62. Then cut the intermediate thread 63 floated on the back side at the arrows 64a, 64b, 64c, 64d, Z 1 and Z ₃ portions middle thread 63 as shown have been inserted in Figure 120, strong tightening force It becomes a stretchable part, and the Z ₂ part becomes a stretchable part with weak tightening force knitted by only the front yarn 1 and the back yarn 2.

In FIG. 122, the cross-sectional conceptual diagram of the circular knitted fabric obtained by the above-mentioned cut boss knitting method was shown. 61a is the front side of the circular knitted fabric in which the front yarn 61 appears, 62a is the back side of the circular knitted fabric in which the back yarn 62 appears, 63a is a reinforcing layer composed of the middle yarn 63, Z ₁ and Z ₃ The portion becomes a stretchable portion having a strong tightening force , and the portion Z ₂ becomes a portion having a weak tightening force .

In the present invention, a weak stretchable portion having a strong elastic part and tightening force of tightening forces as the may be formed only in Kattobosu knitting technique but, further, the time adjustment in the same course in circular knitted fabric Further, a technique for imparting a change in tightening force may be used in combination.

The tightening force of the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force is not particularly limited, but it is preferably designed so as to have a tightening force of approximately 0.3 N to 4 N in the length direction. In such a tightening force range, the function of the present invention is effectively exhibited, and the feeling of wearing is good and preferable without being too strong. Even if the tightening force of the stretchable part having a weak tightening force exceeds 0.3 N, the tightening force may be smaller than that of the stretchable part having a strong tightening force provided in the clothing. .

When measuring the tightening force of the fabric, such as weak stretchable portion having a strong elastic portion and tightening force of tightening force is measured by performing the following tensile test.

  Create a test piece with a width of 2.5 cm and a length of 16.0 cm so that the material warp direction (wel direction) is the length direction of the test piece. Grab. The upper grip length is 2.5 cm and the lower grip length is 3.5 cm. Therefore, the grip interval is 10.0 cm and attached to a constant speed extension type tensile tester (Shimadzu "Autograph" AG-500D). 30 The specimen is stretched to 80% elongation at a rate of ± 2 cm / min. At this time, the stress applied to the test piece at the time of elongation of 30% is recorded, and this is applied to the test piece which is stretched (unit N), [1 gf≈0.0098 N] and then extended to 80% of elongation. When the stress is removed, the test piece shrinks to return to the original length, but the stress applied to the test piece when the elongation is restored to 30% is defined as a tightening force (unit N). These values are set so as to be automatically recorded by the tensile tester. For both the extension force and the tightening force, these data were obtained as the average value of the two test pieces, which were taken as the extension force and the tightening force, respectively.

Here, the elongation (%) means that the length of the fabric in the stretched direction in the stretched state is d, and the original length of the sample before stretching (that is, the gripping interval) is e.
The value is [(d−e) / e] × 100.

  It should be noted that the size of the test piece is preferably used when measuring the stretching force and the tightening force, but when a sample having such a size cannot be cut out from the clothing to be measured. Can be smaller. However, since the measurement error increases as the sample size decreases, it is preferable to collect and measure as large a sample as possible within the cutout range.

The width of the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force in the clothes of the present invention is defined by the existence site, the strength of the tightening force of the material used, the means for forming the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force , the purpose of use of the clothes (for example, the knee of the wearer The degree of joint disorder and the site of the disorder, or the purpose of preventing the disorder, the type of sport to be performed, etc.), the adult or child, etc. Naturally, the width differs depending on the value, so it is difficult to define it with a numerical value.However, it is meaningless if the width is narrow, such as a linear shape. For example, the width is preferably 2 cm or more on average. The average width is more preferably 3 cm or more. The widest part is usually about 15 cm or less, more preferably about 13 cm or less.

Of course, as long as the object of the present invention is achieved, the width of the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force may be partially narrowed or widened depending on the region. Absent.

In the present invention, the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force for supporting the various muscles described above is provided mainly in a direction substantially along the fiber direction of the muscles and ligaments, except for special details. By adopting such a mode, it is possible to promote muscle contraction and ligament function without inhibiting the function of muscle and ligament, which is preferable.

Further, the clothing of the present invention is a polyurethane fiber-containing power net, which is a polyurethane fiber-containing raschel knitted fabric having elasticity in the clothing main body portion and each elastic portion having strong tightening force , and a polyurethane fiber-containing tricot knitted fabric. The polyurethane fiber-containing two-weight ricot knitted fabric, polyurethane fiber-containing circular knitted fabric, etc. can be preferably used, so when compared to conventional supporters using relatively thick pile fabric or neoprene sheet, etc. Can be used, for example, about 0.3-0.8mm thick, so the appearance of the proportions when worn is low, fit well to the body, and relatively breathable Good clothes can be provided. Examples of the type of power net include a plain power net, a satin power net, a two-way raschel, “Triskin” (trademark of Tobe Co., Ltd.), and the like.

In addition, the tightening forces of the stretchable parts having strong tightening forces need not all be the same, and may be different depending on the site.

  There are no particular restrictions on the types of fiber yarns that make up the fabric of the clothing, including various synthetic fiber yarns such as polyester and nylon, natural fiber yarns such as cotton, wool, and silk, and rayon. Elastic fiber yarns typified by semi-synthetic fiber yarns, polyurethane fiber yarns, etc., or yarns consisting of mixed fibers in which at least two kinds of these fibers are mixed, covering yarns, water-absorbing quick-drying yarns, and other processed yarns Various fiber yarns can be used.

  When using elastic yarns, yarns made only of elastic fibers may be used, but depending on the purpose, water-absorbing quick-drying yarns, synthetic fiber yarns excellent in water repellency, or natural yarns may be used. It is more preferable to use an elastic yarn covered with another fiber such as a fiber yarn.

  As described above, the lower limb support clothing of the present invention efficiently protects the knee, such as long-type sports tights and semi-long type sports tights, keeps the knee joint stable, and prevents movement of the knee joint. It is useful as a lower limb support garment that does not decrease the degree of freedom and has a good wearing feeling, and is useful for prevention and reduction of knee pain and the like, and prevention of medial collateral ligament damage caused by sports and others.
