Description

  The present invention relates to a new category of shirts that support the exercise of the upper body of the wearer.

  At present, unlike general underwear, shirts that support the movement of the upper body of the wearer have been proposed and spread. This type of shirt has a taping function and a supporter function, and strongly supports or brakes a specific part. Although it is not a shirt, the tight structure of the same structure which has a taping function and a supporter function is shown by the following patent documents.

JP 2001-214303 A

  An object of the present invention is to provide a new category of shirt that supports correct exercise of the upper body of a wearer, unlike a shirt having a taping function or a supporter function.

  In order to achieve the above object, a shirt according to the present invention is a shirt that supports the movement of the upper body of a wearer, and is formed of a material having elasticity as a whole, and has a strong pressure region and a tightening force that are strong. And a weak low pressure region. The strong pressure region includes at least a first region corresponding to the wearer's back. Preferably, the first region has an X shape in which a belt-shaped region intersects near the center of the back.

  By forming a region with a strong tightening force on the back, the wearer can easily maintain a good posture by stretching the chest and stretching the back when the shirt is worn. Further, the X-shaped upper half V-shaped region and the lower half inverted V-shaped region may be configured such that the V-shaped region has a stronger tightening force than the inverted V-shaped region. preferable. Since the inverted V-shaped region is located on the waist of the wearer, the most important waist for keeping a posture of a person is difficult to bend, and it is easy to take a correct posture with the waist stretched. Generally, when the balance between the abdominal muscles and the back muscles is lost, it causes back pain. The shirt according to the present invention brings the abdominal and back muscles closer to the ideal balance and stabilizes the waist. In addition, by strengthening the tightening force at the center of the back and waist, the consciousness is concentrated on the part and the correct walking posture is guided.

  As a whole, a portion with a strong tightening force becomes a resistance, leading to bending and stretching in a weak direction. However, the strong resistance mentioned here is not a resistance that cannot be moved at all, but a resistance that is felt to be relatively strong against other parts. That is, in the present invention, it does not strongly support or brake the local part like a brace, taping, or supporter, but rather guides a reasonable and correct movement for the human bone joint. It supports to move easily.

  In addition, if a bilaterally symmetric belt-like second region extending from the wearer's clavicle through the vicinity of the greater pectoral muscle to the armpit is formed, resistance acts when pulling the shoulder backward, making it difficult for the shoulder to pull backward more than necessary. Become. For example, it is possible to prevent a baseball player from hurting his shoulder.

  An X-shaped third region spirally intersecting near the wearer's elbow is formed, the two belt-like lower end portions extend to the wearer's wrist, and the two belt-like upper end portions are the upper end of the V-shaped region and If the structure is connected to the lower ends of the second regions, the elbow is naturally guided in the correct direction.

  As a strong pressure region, if a fourth region consisting of two strips extending in the horizontal direction symmetrically along the lower edge of the diaphragm is formed, the wearer can easily maintain a naturally stretched state, It can be expected to have the effect of making breathing easier and resulting in less fatigue.

  As a strong pressure region, it is connected to the left and right belt-like regions of the second region near the center of the chest side, extends downward to the vicinity of the pigeon tail (groove), and further forms a fifth region connected to the fourth region, Due to the synergistic effect of the second region in the vicinity of the clavicle and the fourth region in the vicinity of the lower edge of the rib, the effect of each region becomes more remarkable.

  If the configuration further includes a sixth region surrounding the waist of the wearer as the high pressure region, the waist is stabilized, leading to a correct walking posture, and there is an effect of reducing the burden on the waist. In addition, an effect becomes still larger by using together with the tights described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-8730.

  As described above, the tightening force of the six regions has been shown to be strong. However, in the present invention, these regions can be appropriately combined and employed according to the application.

In the present invention, for example, a shirt is formed by bundling a plurality of elastic yarns, and the tightening force can be adjusted by changing the number and / or interval of the elastic yarns to be bundled.
Alternatively, the shirt according to the present invention can be formed using a fabric knitted by a warp knitting machine. In this case, the texture becomes smoother with less surface irregularities than in the case of circular knitting, and the design feels excellent. Further, since the knitted state is flat, there is an advantage that it is easy to display as a product and easy to package. Furthermore, there is an advantage that a delicate adjustment of the tightening force of the shirt can be easily performed.

  The shirt of the present invention can be used, for example, for the purpose of preventing or eliminating stiff shoulders, improving exercise efficiency during sports, and preventing undesirable bone joint formation in growing children.

  As the distribution of the tightening force, for example, when the tightening forces in the V-shaped region, the inverted V-shaped region, the second region, the third region, and the low pressure region are P1a, P1b, P2, P3, and P0, respectively, P1b = P3> P1a = P2> P0. More specifically, when measured by the method specified in JIS 1018, for example, the maximum elongation (elongation rate) of the inverted V-shaped region and the third region is about 120%, and the maximum of the V-shaped region and the second region is The elongation (elongation) is about 150%, and the maximum elongation (elongation) in the low pressure region is about 200%.

As a derivative effect by wearing the shirt according to the present invention, a massage effect can be obtained by applying an appropriate pressure to muscles, and an effect of relieving fatigue can be expected by a cool-down effect after exercise.

  FIG. 1: is the perspective view which looked at a mode that the inner shirt 10 which concerns on the Example of this invention was worn from the wearer's front. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the shirt 10 as seen from behind the wearer. FIG. 3 is a plan view (front view) showing the strength distribution of the tightening force of the shirt 10. FIG. 4 is a plan view (back view) showing the strength distribution of the tightening force of the shirt 10. The shirt 10 of this embodiment is particularly suitable for everyday wear, but can also be worn when performing sports.

  As a material of the shirt 10, for example, a material excellent in stretchability such as 85% nylon and 15% polyurethane is used. For example, a structure in which a plurality of elastic yarns are bundled and the tightening force is adjusted according to the number and interval of the elastic yarns to be bundled.

  The shirt 10 which concerns on a present Example is shape | molded by the raw material which has a stretching property as a whole, and has a strong pressure area | region (14-18) with a strong clamping force, and a weak pressure area | region (12) with a weak clamping force. The strong pressure region includes a first region (18A, 18B) having an X shape in which a belt-like region intersects in the vicinity of the center of the back; a second symmetrical belt-like second extending from the wearer's clavicle through the vicinity of the pectoral muscle to the armpit. A region (14R, 14L); and an X-shaped third region (16R, 16L) that spirally intersects near the wearer's elbow. In FIGS. 3 and 4, a white area is a low pressure area.

  Here, the first region (18A, 18B) is located in the vicinity of the wearer's back center, and the X-shaped upper half V-shaped region 18A; It is composed of a lower half inverted V-shaped region 18B. In addition, the two belt-like lower ends of the third region (16R, 16L) extend to the vicinity of the wearer's wrist, and the two belt-like upper ends are on the upper end of the V-shaped region 18A and the lower ends of the second regions 14R, 14L. Connect each one.

  The shirt of this example depends on the wearer's physique, but in the planar state shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the bust width B = about 25-40 cm, the hem width W = about 25-40 cm, and the sleeve length A = 15-20 cm (short sleeves), 30-45 cm (long sleeves), wrist width C = 7-10 cm, total length = 50-75 cm. In addition, since the shirt according to the present embodiment is basically used as underwear, the thickness of the fabric is relatively thin, for example, about 0.7 mm to 1.4 mm. The total weight is about 110 g to 120 g, for example.

  As the distribution of the tightening force, for example, the tightening forces in the V-shaped region 18A, the inverted V-shaped region 18B, the second regions 14R and 14L, the third regions 16R and 16L, and the weak pressure region 12 are P1a, P1b, P2, and so on. When P3 and P0 are set, P1b = P3> P1a = P2> P0. More specifically, when measured by the method defined in JIS 1018, for example, the maximum elongation (elongation rate) of the inverted V-shaped region 18B and the third regions 16R and 16L is about 120%, the V-shaped region 18A and The maximum elongation (elongation) of the second regions 14R and 14L is about 150%, and the maximum elongation (elongation) of the low pressure region 12 is about 200%.

  Here, “elongation” refers to a relative degree of elongation when a constant tensile force is applied from a normal time when no tensile force is applied, and is measured by a method defined in JIS 1018. . The “maximum elongation” is inversely proportional to the “clamping force” indicated in the claims, and the larger the maximum elongation, the smaller the clamping force.

  In this embodiment, the maximum elongation (tightening force) of the shirt is adjusted by the size, number and combination of tack (cover) and miss (float) when knitting the fabric. Increasing the tack width increases the strength. FIG. 5 shows an enlarged cross section of the shirt 10. In the reverse V-shaped region 18B and the third regions 16R and 16L having the strongest tightening force, for example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the tack and the miss are alternately arranged at a ratio of 3: 1: 2: 2. . Further, in the V-shaped region 18A and the second regions 14R and 14L, for example, as shown in (B), the tack and the miss are alternately arranged at a ratio of 2: 2: 2: 2.

  Although the embodiment has been described above, the tightening force of the elbow lines 16R and 16L can be changed or eliminated depending on the application to be used and the type of sport. Of course, in the case of a short sleeve, the lines 16R and 16L cannot be formed.

  FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a shirt 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention as seen from the front of the wearer. Moreover, FIG. 7 is the perspective view which looked at a mode that the shirt 100 which concerns on the Example shown in FIG. 6 was worn from the wearer's back. This embodiment has basically the same structure and concept as the above-described embodiment, but the position of the strong pressure region is different. A duplicate description of the parts common to the previously described embodiments is omitted.

  In the present embodiment, a fourth region 104 formed of two strips extending in the horizontal direction symmetrically along the lower edge of the diaphragm is formed as the strong pressure region. Thereby, the wearer can easily maintain a state in which the chest is stretched naturally, and it can be expected that the wearer can easily breathe and, as a result, less fatigue.

  Further, as the strong pressure region, a fifth region 102 connected to the left and right belt-like regions of the second regions 114R and 114L in the vicinity of the center of the chest side and extending downward to the vicinity of the pigeon tail (groove) is connected to the fourth region 104. Furthermore, it forms. Thereby, the effect of each region becomes more remarkable by the synergistic effect of the second regions 114R and 114L near the clavicle and the fourth region 104 near the lower edge of the rib. Note that the second regions 114R and 114L of the present example correspond to the second regions 14R and 14L of the previous example.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a sixth region 106 that surrounds the waist of the wearer is formed as the strong pressure region. As a result, it is possible to stabilize the wearer's waist, lead to a correct walking posture, and reduce the burden on the waist. In addition, an effect becomes still larger by using together with the tights described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-8730.

  As described above, although two embodiments have been described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7, in the present invention, the first to sixth strong pressure regions can be appropriately combined and employed according to the application. For example, the third region corresponding to the elbow may be a structure that is not adopted except for sports such as baseball where the elbow is burdened. In addition, it is desirable to appropriately change the tightening force in the high pressure region and the low pressure region according to the application.

  In the present invention, for example, a shirt is formed by bundling a plurality of elastic yarns, and the tightening force can be adjusted by changing the number and / or interval of the elastic yarns to be bundled. That is, the fabric is formed by circular knitting, and the maximum elongation (tightening force) of the shirt can be adjusted by the size, number, and combination of tack (cover) and miss (float). Alternatively, the fabric can be knitted by warp knitting using a warp knitting machine. By using a warp knitting machine, surface irregularities are reduced as compared with the case of circular knitting, and the design feels excellent. Further, since the knitted state is flat, there is an advantage that it is easy to display as a product and easy to package. Furthermore, there is an advantage that a delicate adjustment of the tightening force of the shirt can be easily performed. As a specific knitting method, the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 62-223351 can be employed.

  When the inner shirt 10 according to the present embodiment is worn, the effect can be obtained only by performing a natural operation (daily operation) without performing any special movement. Of course, when playing sports, the correct movement of the bone and joint is guided, so there are effects such as improvement of technology and reduction of fatigue.

As mentioned above, although the Example of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to these Examples at all, It can change in the category of the technical idea shown by the claim.
