Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、各種の運動競技やそれに準じる運動等をするために着用される運動用被服とその製造方法に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
運動等で障害を受けた関節は障害の完治後も、運動等により同じ障害を再発する場合がある。そこで、一般には粘着テープを障害を受けた部分に巻き、保護、補強することによって障害の再発を防止するテーピング手法が用いられている。このようにテーピングは障害を受けた関節の再発予防に有効なものであるが、テーピングは、本来解剖学原理に基づいて靱帯や腱の走行に沿ってテープを張ることによって靱帯や腱を補強することを基本としているため、テーピング方法は身体の筋肉の形状、方向に密接に関わっており、より大きな効果を得るためにはできるだけ必要な部位、方向に適切な張力を得るのが理想である。特に運動時には障害のない部分まで、筋肉の運動を制限するのは筋肉に不要な負担をかけ、また運動能力の低下を招き好ましくない。このため実際にこれを行うには身体に関する専門的な知識が必要となり、容易ではなかった。また、テーピングを施す部位によっては、テーピング時に他の者の補助を必要とする場合もあった。
【０００３】
そこでこの問題を解決するため、伸縮性を有し体表面に密着して着用される下半身用被服で、サポート機能を持たせたものがあった。このような下半身用被服は、サポート機能を持たせるために、緊締力を大きくしたい部分に適宜の当て布を取り付けたり切り替えたり、また弾力性のある合成樹脂液を塗布する方法も提案されている。
【０００４】
また近年は、下半身用被服を丸編や経編のジャガード編で設け、緊締力を大きくしたい部分の編組織を変化させて緊締力を大きくし、サポート機能を持たせる試みが提案されている。このような下半身用被服としては、特開２０００−８２０３号公報に開示されている体型補正機能又は筋肉サポート機能を有する衣類があった。これは、身体に密着して着用される衣類であり、この衣類は経編のジャガード編機により編まれた伸縮性を有する経編地に、緊締力を大きくしたい部分の編組織を変化させて緊締力を大きくし、サポート機能を持たせている。そして、緊締力が強い部分はパターン状に設けられ、このパターンは、帯状やカーブした連続パターンである。
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記従来の技術の場合、当て布や切り替えをして緊締力が強い部分を作る場合は、縫製を行うことにより縫い目部分が伸縮性を制限するため、人体の動きを妨げるという問題があった。また、縫い代が多いため縫い代が体を圧迫するため着用感が損なわれるものであった。また、合成樹脂液を塗布する方法は、編み地の編み目をふさいでしまうため、通気性が低下し蒸れやすいという問題があった。
【０００６】
そして、丸編を用いる方法は、伝線しやすく耐久性に問題がある。また経編のジャガード編を用いる方法は、緊締力の大きい部分は、編み目が密であるため通気性が低下して蒸れやすいため、着用感が良くなかった。そして帯状に設けられた緊締力の大きい部分は緊締力が均一であり、必要な部位に適切な緊締力を与えることが難しく、人体の動きが制限されるという問題がある。
【０００７】
この発明は上記従来の問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、運動性や着用感が良好で、身体の各部位に適した形状で適切な強さでサポートすることのできる運動用被服とその製造方法を提供することを目的とする。
【０００８】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明の運動用被服は、体表面に密着して着用され伸縮性素材によって構成されている運動用被服であり、経編のジャガード編により形成され高い伸縮性を有する編み地で形成されている伸縮部と、上記伸縮部とは異なる素材構成又は異なる素材構成を有しかつ上記伸縮部より緊締力が高く伸縮性を有する編み地で形成されている緊締部とを備えている。上記緊締部の内側には、通気性が高い編み地等で作られた隙間部が設けられ、上記緊締部は、緊締力の強弱の必要性に応じて緊締力や伸縮性が異なる区分に分けられて設けられ、身体の所望の部位に当接しサポートする所定の形状に設けられている。そして、上記隙間部の編み地は上記伸縮部の編み地と同じでも良い。
【０００９】
また、上記緊締部は帯状で、人体の大臀筋と中臀筋の上方に沿って上方に湾曲する円弧状に形成され、この円弧状の両端部は大転子部分に達し、各大転子部分と両脚の内側のつけね付近から各々一対の上記緊締部が、大腿部中央に向かって内側広筋と外側広筋に沿って斜めに延出し膝蓋部上方付近で互いに交差し、膝蓋部の両脇を通って膝蓋靱帯部分で交差し、腓腹筋に沿って下腿部の両側に達し、各大転子部分からは別の緊締部が大腿部の長手方向に沿って延出し膝蓋部の外側側方に達し、両足の内側の付け根付近からも別の緊締部が大腿部の長手方向に沿って延出し、膝蓋部の内側側方に達している。
【００１０】
また、上記緊締部の内側に設けられた上記隙間部は、伸縮性が高く緊締力が低い編み地で設けられ、上記緊締部は上記隙間部との面積比により緊締力が任意に設定され、上記隙間部は、線状パターンの組み合わせで形成され、その線の方向、長さを、身体の部位毎に適切に設定することにより緊締力、方向性を任意に設定する。
【００１１】
また、上記隙間部は水玉状等で散在して設けられ、上記水玉等の大きさや間隔を部位毎に適切に設定することにより上記緊締部の緊締力を任意に設定する。
【００１２】
またこの発明の運動用被服の製造方法は、体表面に密着して着用される伸縮性素材によって構成されている運動用被服の製造方法において、経編のジャガード編からなる地編が非弾性糸で編まれ、さらに弾性糸が挿入されてなる経編のジャガード編からなる高い伸縮性を有する伸縮部と、上記伸縮部とは異なる素材構成又は異なる素材構成を有しかつ上記伸縮部より緊締力が高く伸縮性を有するような経編のジャガード編からなる緊締部と、上記緊締部の内側に設けられ通気性が高い経編のジャガード編からなる隙間部とを、連続して一体に編み、上記緊締部が身体の所望の部位に当接しサポートする形状に編む。そして、上記編み地の編み密度の調整、編み組織の変化、編み糸本数の変更、または編み糸種類の変更を適切に設定して、所望の位置で緊締力を所定の値に設定されるように編む。
【００１３】
この発明の運動用被服は、緊締部の内側に通気性が高い編み地で作られた隙間部が形成され、この隙間部により汗や熱が発散され、快適に着用される。また、隙間部は伸縮性が高く緊締力が低い編み地で作られ、隙間部を任意のパターンで設けることにより緊締部の緊締力や、緊締力が働く方向を調節する。
【００１４】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、この発明の実施形態について図面に基づいて説明する。図１、図２はこの発明の第一実施形態を示すもので、この実施形態の運動用被服は、ウエストラインから踝に達するスパッツ１０である。スパッツ１０の表面で一番広い面積を占め、高い伸縮性を有する編み地で形成されている伸縮部１２は、組織Ａで形成されている。組織Ａは薄地であり、一単位区画当たりに非弾性糸２本で編まれた地編に弾性糸４本が編み込まれ、高い伸縮性と適度な通気性を有している。そして、伸縮部１２以外の部分は、その他の編組織Ｂ，Ｃ，Ｄ，Ｅで形成された緊締部として設けられ、以下にこの各緊締部について説明する。
【００１５】
まず、スパッツ１０の臀部１１には、大殿筋と中臀筋の上方に沿って上方に湾曲する円弧状に、臀部緊締部１４が形成されている。臀部緊締部１４は、組織Ｂで形成されている。組織Ｂは、一単位区画当たりに非弾性糸２本で編まれた地編に弾性糸６本が編み込まれた厚地をベースとし、この厚地に伸縮部１２の組織Ａと同じ薄地が細かい水玉状に散在して配置された隙間部１３が形成されている。組織Ｂは、厚地を広く使用することで高い緊締力を有し、そして水玉状の隙間部１３から汗や熱を発散させる。
【００１６】
そして臀部緊締部１４の両端部は大殿骨と股関節の結合部である大転子付近に延出し、矩形の大転子緊締部１６が各一個形成されている。大転子緊締部１６は組織Ｃで形成されている。組織Ｃは組織Ｂと同じ厚地をベースとしこの厚地に組織Ａと同じ薄地が放射線状に入れられた隙間部１７が形成されている。大転子緊締部１６は、腰の位置を保つために厚地の部分を設け、編み地のストレッチの方向をコントロールする。そして隙間部１７は放射状の直線で設けられているため、大転子緊締部１６が固くならず身体にフィットする。
【００１７】
そして、一対の大転子緊締部１６から、膝蓋部１５の上方に達する外側広筋緊締部１８と、膝蓋部１５の下方に達する腸脛靱帯緊締部２０が形成されている。外側広筋緊締部１８と腸脛靱帯緊締部２０は、いずれも組織Ｄで形成されている。組織Ｄは組織Ｂと同じ厚地を帯状に形成し、この帯状の長手方向に対してほぼ直角に組織Ａと同じ薄地で作られた線状の隙間部２１が設けられ、縞模様を形成している。組織Ｄは、図３に示すように隙間部２１の幅や間隔を変えることで伸縮性と緊締力を変化させることができる。また、隙間部２１対して直角方向に伸びやすくなるため、隙間部２１の角度を変えることにより伸縮方向を変えることが出来る。
【００１８】
まず外側広筋緊締部１８は、大転子緊締部１６に近づくにつれて隙間部２１の幅が狭くなり、緊締力が強いものとなる。そして大腿部１９の中程のところでは隙間部２１の幅が広くなり緊締力は少し低くなり、膝蓋部１５に近づくにつれて再び隙間部２１の幅が狭くなり、緊締力が強いものとなる。これにより外側広筋緊締部１８の中央付近は伸縮性が向上し、伸びへの対応力が向上し、運動動作時のずれが減少する。
【００１９】
そして腸脛靱帯緊締部２０は、大転子緊締部１６近傍で、線状の隙間部２１が、図１において腸脛靱帯緊締部２０の長手方向に対して右上がりに傾斜して設けられている。これにより、腸脛靱帯緊締部２０の大転子緊締部１６近傍は、身体の上下方向に強い緊締力が生じ、身体の前後方向に弱い緊締力が生じ、運動追従性が良好となる。そして、膝蓋部１５の近傍では隙間部２１の幅が狭くなり、緊締力が強いものとなる。
【００２０】
そして、大腿部の内股２３側には、脚のつけねから膝蓋部１５の上方に達する長内転筋緊締部２２と、脚のつけねから膝蓋部１５の下方に達する内側広筋緊締部２４が形成されている。長内転筋緊締部２２と内側広筋緊締部２４は、いずれも組織Ｄで形成されている。
【００２１】
まず、長内転筋緊締部２２は、足の付け根に近づくにつれて隙間部２１は図１において右上がりに垂直に近い角度に傾斜して設けられて身体の上下方向の緊締力がより強くなっている。そして内股２３の中程で、隙間部２１は長内転筋緊締部２２の長手方向に対してほぼ直角に設けられ、そして隙間部２１の幅が広くなり、緊締力は低くなる。そして、膝蓋部１５に近づくにつれて隙間部２１の幅が狭くなり、再び緊締力が強くなっている。
【００２２】
そして内側広筋緊締部２４は、足のつけね側で緊締力が弱く、内股２３の中程で緊締力がわずかに強くなり、膝蓋部１５までほとんど均一な緊締力となる。
【００２３】
ここで、外側広筋緊締部１８は大腿部１９の中間広筋と縫工筋をサポートし、腸脛靱帯緊締部２０は大腿部１９の下方外側の外側広筋をサポートしている。長内転筋緊締部２２は内股２３の長内転筋と内側広筋をサポートし、内側広筋緊締部２４は薄筋をサポートしている。これにより外側広筋と内側広筋は、外側広筋緊締部１８と長内転筋緊締部２２にＸ状にサポートされ、筋肉を下から持ち上げＸ字状に交差した方向に引き上げられている。
【００２４】
次に、外側広筋緊締部１８と長内転筋緊締部２２は膝蓋部１５の上方の大腿四頭筋（膝上）で交差し、外側広筋緊締部１８と長内転筋緊締部２２の交差部分は大腿四頭筋緊締部２６となっている。大腿四頭筋緊締部２６は、組織Ｂで形成され強いサポート力を有し、大腿直筋で運動時に局部的に力のかかる大腿四頭筋を局部的にサポートし、腱のダメージを防いでいる。そして大腿四頭筋緊締部２６には互いに交差した一対の線状の隙間部２７が形成され、適度な伸縮性を有している。このため着用時に容易に立体的となり、各動きに対応することができる。
【００２５】
外側広筋緊締部１８と長内転筋緊締部２２は、各々大腿四頭筋緊締部２６の下方に延出し、膝蓋部１５の両側を通り膝蓋部１５の下方に沿って半円状にサポートする膝下緊締部２８となる。そして膝下緊締部２８の下端部は、膝の両側から下方に三角形状に延出する一対の下腿緊締部２８ａが形成されている。
【００２６】
膝下緊締部２８の膝蓋部１５に隣接する部分と下腿緊締部２８ａは、臀部緊締部１４と同じ組織Ｂで設けられている。組織Ｂは、強いサポート力を有し、固定に近い状態となる。そして、膝下緊締部２８には膝蓋部１５を中心として左右対称に複数の線状の隙間部２９が形成され、適度な伸縮性を有している。このため、着用時に容易に立体的となり、各動きに対応することができる。また、膝蓋部１５は固定しないため、伸縮部１２となっている。そして膝下緊締部２８は、膝蓋腱を局部的に強くサポートすることにより、互いに連続する膝上の大腿四頭筋と膝下の膝蓋腱を保護し、膝蓋部１５の炎症と大腿直筋の肉離れを防いでいる。そして、膝下緊締部２８の下方に延出する下腿緊締部２８ａは、腓腹筋、ヒラメ筋、前脛骨筋の上部にかけてサポートする。
【００２７】
また、膝下緊締部２８の、膝蓋部１５よりも少し下側の両脇の側縁部２８ｂは、組織Ｅで形成されている。組織Ｅは、組織Ｂと同じ厚地をベースとし、この厚地に上記実施形態の組織Ａと同じ薄地が水玉状に配置された隙間部２９が形成されている。水玉状の隙間部２９の大きさは、膝下緊締部２８に使われている組織Ｅの隙間部１３よりも大きく形成され、緊締力は組織Ｅに比べてやや劣るが汗や熱の発散がより効率よく行われる。
【００２８】
この実施形態の運動用被服の作り方は、スパッツ１０の伸縮部１２を作る経編のジャガード編機により、組織Ａの薄地と組織Ｂの厚地が所定パターンに配置されるように設定して、スパッツの編み地を自動に各緊締部と一体に編み上げる。編組織は、経編のジャガード編からなる非弾性糸２本で編まれた地編に、編み込む弾性糸の振り量を変化させて一単位区画当たりの弾性糸の本数を変化させ、この組織の変化により編み地の厚さ、伸縮性、緊締力を変える。そして、このように編み上げられた編み地を所定の手順で両脚分つなぐように縫製し、スパッツ１０を作る。
【００２９】
この実施形態の運動用被服によれば、薄地の伸縮部１２に連続して厚地の変化組織を設けて継ぎ目なく各緊締部を形成し、着用するだけで人体の所望の部分をサポートすることができる。これにより、運動、動作に伴う局部的な圧迫や、抵抗を大幅に減らすことができる。また、各緊締部は経編のジャガード編機に所定のパターンを設定するだけで、緊締力と伸縮方向、通気性が異なる経編のジャガード編みによる組織Ｂ、Ｃ、Ｄを簡単に短時間で形成し、任意の部位に適切な緊締力を与えることができる。経編のジャガード編により厚地の部分を形成すると各緊締部の編み組織が密となり通気性が悪くなるが、隙間部２１を設けることで通気性を確保し、汗や熱を発散し快適に運動することができる。また隙間部２１により各緊締部に適度な柔軟性を与えることができ、身体にフィットし運動追従性が向上する。
【００３０】
臀部緊締部１４と大腿四頭筋緊締部２６、膝下緊締部２８は組織Ｂ、組織Ｅで設けられ、強い緊締力を有し、また汗や熱の発散を効率よく行うことができ、着用感が良好である。組織Ｂ、組織Ｅは、水玉状の隙間部１３、２９の大きさや間隔を変えることにより、緊締力や通気性を任意に設定することができる。
【００３１】
外側広筋緊締部１８、長内転筋緊締部２２、内側広筋緊締部２４は、組織Ｄと高緊締部３２が組み合わされて設けられ、適度な柔軟性を有するため運動追従性が良好で、なおかつ高緊締部が確実に身体をサポートする。また、組織Ｄは隙間部２１が縞模様を形成して設けられているため、隙間部２１の幅や角度を変えることにより緊締力を微調整し、伸縮しやすい方向を任意に設定することができる。
【００３２】
さらに、この運動用被服は、障害の発生を防止するとともに、長時間の連続的な運動、例えば登山のような活動時間のほとんどを連続的に運動を繰り返すものについても疲労軽減に効果を有する。また、血流促進（静脈環流促進）にも効果があり、長時間の着用においても快適さを維持できる。
【００３３】
次に、この発明の第二実施形態について、図４に基づいて説明する。ここで、上述の実施の形態と同様の部材は同様の符号を付して説明を省略する。この実施形態の運動用被服は、ウエストラインから踝に達するスパッツ３０である。
【００３４】
臀部緊締部１４に連続する大転子緊締部１６は、組織Ｃで設けられている。組識Ｃは、組織Ｂと同じ厚地をベースとしこの厚地に組織Ａと同じ薄地が放射線状に入れられて隙間部１７が形成されている。
【００３５】
そして一対の大転子緊締部１６から膝蓋部１５の上方に達する外側広筋緊締部１８は、組織Ｄで形成され、隙間部２１により線状に形成された厚地部分の幅は、大転子緊締部１６に近づくにつれて広くなり、緊締力が強いものとなる。そして外側広筋緊締部１８には、図４において左側の側縁部に、外側広筋緊締部１８の長手方向に沿って厚地部分が互いに連結して帯状となる高緊締部３２が形成されている。高緊締部３２は、大転子緊締部１６に近づくにつれて外側広筋緊締部１８の長手方向に対して直角方向が長くなっている。このように、組織Ｄの端部に高緊締部３２が設けられる場合、図５、図６に示すように、伸縮方向が均一ではなく高緊締部３２側へ湾曲する。これを利用し、外側広筋緊締部１８は脚を前に上げたり屈伸したりすることが容易でなおかつ強い緊締力を維持する。
【００３６】
また、一対の大転子緊締部１６から膝蓋部１５の下方に達する腸脛靱帯緊締部２０は、組織Ｄで形成されている。
【００３７】
そして大腿部１９の内股２３側に設けられ、脚のつけねから膝蓋部１５の上方に達する長内転筋緊締部２２と、脚のつけねから膝蓋部１５の下方に達する内側広筋緊締部２４は、組織Ｄで形成されている。そして、長内転筋緊締部２２と内側広筋緊締部２４には、図４において右側の側縁部に、各緊締部の長手方向に沿って高緊締部３４、３６が設けられている。高緊締部３４、３６は、膝蓋部１５に近づくにつれて幅広に形成されている。
【００３８】
この実施形態のスパッツ３０の作り方は、上記実施の形態と同様であり、同様の効果を有するものである。そして、外側広筋緊締部１８、長内転筋緊締部２２、内側広筋緊締部２４は、組織Ｄと高緊締部３２が組み合わされて設けられ、適度な柔軟性を有するため運動追従性が良好で、なおかつ高緊締部が確実に身体をサポートする。また、組織Ｄは隙間部２１が縞模様を形成して設けられているため、隙間部２１の幅や角度を変えることにより緊締力を微調整し、伸縮しやすい方向を任意に設定することができる。
【００３９】
なお、この発明の運動用被服とその製造方法は、上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、例えば緊締力を調整する方法は、編み方や編み糸の本数を変更する以外に、編み糸の種類（太さ、断面形状、組成、伸縮加工、弾性等）を編成途中で変更しても良い。そして、組織Ｄにより設けられた緊締部の伸縮方向を変化させる方法として、図７、図８に示すように緊締部３８の長手方向に沿って中心を貫通して線状の高緊締部４０が設けられても良い。そして、各緊締部の厚地に設けられる隙間部のパターンは上記各実施形態の各組織に限定されるものではない。例えば、図９に示す緊締部４２ように緊締部４２を三角形のドットに切り残すジグザグ線の隙間部４４や、図１０に示す緊締部４６ような枝状の隙間部４８、図１１に示す緊締部５０ように緊締部５０の長手方向に対して傾斜した縞模様の隙間部５２等、自由に変更可能である。
【００４０】
また、運動用被服の各緊締部の配置は、適した部位に設けられていれば良く、図１２に示すように脚の外側側面に緊締部５４が設けられ、緊締部５４は上下方向に伸びる高緊締部５４ａと、高緊締部５４ａに沿って前側に取り付けられた組織Ｄからなる低緊締部５４ｂから成るものでも良い。この場合は膝蓋部１５の屈伸により内側調と外側長に著しい差が生じるが、緊締力を保ちつつ屈伸運動を抑制しないものである。また、図１３に示すように脛部２５に緊締部５６が設けられ、緊締部５６は脛部２５の前中心を上下方向に伸びる高緊締部５６ａと、高緊締部５６ａを挟んで左右に取り付けられた組織Ｄからなる低緊締部５６ｂを設けても良い。さらに、この緊締部５６は、ふくらはぎ部に設けても良い。
【００４１】
【発明の効果】
この発明の運動用被服は、経編のジャガード編により短時間に効率よく作ることができ、着用するだけで人体の各部分を最適な状態でサポートするテーピング機能が得られ、スポーツ障害を防ぐものである。そして、緊締部には通気性と柔軟性を有する隙間部が設けられ、着心地と密着性、通気性が良好で運動性能が向上する。また、隙間部の形状や面積比を細かく設定することにより、緊締部の緊締力を調整することができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an athletic garment worn for various athletic competitions and exercises according to the athletic competition and a manufacturing method thereof.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A joint that has been damaged by exercise or the like may recur the same failure due to exercise or the like even after the failure has been completely cured. Therefore, in general, a taping technique is used in which a recurrence of a failure is prevented by winding an adhesive tape around the damaged portion to protect and reinforce. In this way, taping is effective in preventing recurrence of damaged joints, but taping reinforces ligaments and tendons by stretching the tape along the ligament and tendon travel based on anatomical principles. Therefore, the taping method is closely related to the shape and direction of the muscles of the body, and in order to obtain a greater effect, it is ideal to obtain an appropriate tension in the necessary part and direction as much as possible. Limiting the exercise of the muscle to a portion where there is no obstacle especially during exercise is not preferable because it puts an unnecessary burden on the muscle and causes a decrease in exercise ability. Therefore, in order to actually do this, specialized knowledge about the body is required, which is not easy. In addition, depending on the part where taping is performed, there is a case where assistance from another person is required at the time of taping.
[0003]
In order to solve this problem, there has been a lower body garment that has elasticity and is worn in close contact with the body surface, and has a support function. In order to provide a support function for such lower body clothing, a method of attaching or switching an appropriate application cloth to a portion where the tightening force is desired to be increased or applying a flexible synthetic resin liquid has been proposed. .
[0004]
In recent years, attempts have been made to provide a support function by providing lower body clothes with circular knitting or warp jacquard knitting, and changing the knitting structure of the portion where the tightening force is to be increased to increase the tightening force. As such lower body clothing, there was a garment having a body shape correction function or a muscle support function disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-8203. This is a garment that is worn in close contact with the body, and this garment is a warp knitted fabric that is knitted by a warp knitting jacquard knitting machine. The tightening force is increased to provide a support function. And the part with strong tightening force is provided in a pattern shape, and this pattern is a continuous pattern with a band shape or a curve.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the case of the above-described conventional technique, when a portion having a strong tightening force is formed by applying a patch or switching, there is a problem in that the seam portion restricts stretchability by performing sewing, thereby preventing the movement of the human body. Moreover, since there is much seam allowance, a seam allowance presses on a body, and a feeling of wear was impaired. In addition, the method of applying the synthetic resin solution has a problem that the air permeability is lowered and the steam is easily steamed because the stitches of the knitted fabric are blocked.
[0006]
And the method using a circular knitting has a problem in durability because it is easy to wire. Further, the method using the warp jacquard knitted fabric has a poor feeling of wearing because the portion where the tightening force is large is densely stitched and the air permeability is lowered and it is easy to get stuffy. In addition, a portion having a large tightening force provided in a belt shape has a uniform tightening force, and it is difficult to give an appropriate tightening force to a necessary portion, and there is a problem that movement of a human body is restricted.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and has excellent mobility and a feeling of wear, and an exercise clothing that can be supported with appropriate strength in a shape suitable for each part of the body and its An object is to provide a manufacturing method.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The athletic clothing of the present invention is an athletic clothing that is worn in close contact with the body surface and is made of an elastic material, and is formed of a knitted fabric having high elasticity formed by a warp jacquard knitting. And an elastic part, and a tightening part that is made of a knitted fabric having a material structure different from or different from the elastic part and having a higher tightening force than the elastic part and having elasticity. Inside the tightening part, there is a gap made of knitted fabric with high air permeability, and the tightening part is divided into sections with different tightening force and stretchability according to the necessity of tightening force. Provided in a predetermined shape that contacts and supports a desired part of the body. The knitted fabric of the gap portion may be the same as the knitted fabric of the stretchable portion.
[0009]
In addition, the tightening portion is in a band shape, and is formed in an arc shape that curves upward along the upper and lower ankles of the human body. Both ends of the arc shape reach the greater trochanter portion, and A pair of tightening parts from the inner part of the inner part of the child part and both legs extend obliquely along the inner vastus and outer vastus muscles toward the center of the thigh and intersect each other in the vicinity of the upper part of the patella.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the present invention, and the exercise clothing of this embodiment is a spats 10 that reaches the heel from the waistline. The stretchable portion 12 occupying the widest area on the surface of the spats 10 and formed of a knitted fabric having high stretchability is formed of the structure A. The structure A is thin, and four elastic yarns are knitted into a ground knitted with two inelastic yarns per unit section, and has high stretchability and appropriate air permeability. The portions other than the stretchable portion 12 are provided as tightening portions formed of other knitting structures B, C, D, and E. Each tightening portion will be described below.
[0015]
First, a buttock tightening portion 14 is formed on the heel portion 11 of the spats 10 in a circular arc shape that curves upward along the upper gluteus medius and the middle gluteal muscle. The buttocks tightening portion 14 is formed of the tissue B. The organization B is based on a thick fabric in which 6 elastic yarns are knitted in a ground knitted with 2 inelastic yarns per unit section, and the same thin fabric as the organization A of the stretchable portion 12 is fine polka dots in this thick fabric. The gap portions 13 are formed so as to be scattered. The tissue B has a high tightening force by widely using thick ground, and radiates sweat and heat from the polka-dot-shaped gap portion 13.
[0016]
Then, both end portions of the buttocks tightening portion 14 extend near the greater trochanter which is a connecting portion of the great calcaneus and the hip joint, and one rectangular greater trochanter tightening portion 16 is formed. The greater trochanter tightening portion 16 is formed of the structure C. The tissue C is based on the same thick ground as the tissue B, and a gap portion 17 is formed in the thick ground where the same thin ground as the tissue A is radially provided. The greater trochanter tightening portion 16 is provided with a thick portion in order to maintain the waist position, and controls the stretch direction of the knitted fabric. Since the gap portion 17 is provided by a radial straight line, the greater trochanter tightening portion 16 does not become hard and fits the body.
[0017]
Then, from the pair of greater trochanter tightening portions 16, an outer vastus muscle tightening portion 18 that extends above the patella portion 15, and a iliac ligament tightening portion 20 that extends below the patella portion 15 are formed. The outer vastus muscle tightening portion 18 and the intestinal shin ligament tightening portion 20 are both formed of the tissue D. The tissue D is formed in the same thick ground as the tissue B in a strip shape, and a linear gap portion 21 made of the same thin ground as the tissue A is provided substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the strip to form a striped pattern. Yes. As shown in FIG. 3, the tissue D can change stretchability and tightening force by changing the width and interval of the gap 21. Moreover, since it becomes easy to extend in the direction perpendicular to the gap 21, the expansion / contraction direction can be changed by changing the angle of the gap 21.
[0018]
First, in the outer broad muscle tightening portion 18, the width of the gap portion 21 becomes narrower as it approaches the greater trochanter tightening portion 16, and the tightening force becomes stronger. In the middle of the thigh 19, the width of the gap 21 is widened and the tightening force is slightly reduced. As the patella 15 is approached, the width of the gap 21 is narrowed again, and the tightening force is strong. As a result, the stretchability of the vicinity of the center of the outer vastus muscle tightening portion 18 is improved, the ability to cope with elongation is improved, and the shift during the movement is reduced.
[0019]
The intestinal shin ligament tightening portion 20 is provided in the vicinity of the greater trochanter tightening portion 16 with a linear gap portion 21 inclined upward to the right in the longitudinal direction of the intestinal ligament tightening portion 20 in FIG. Yes. As a result, in the vicinity of the greater trochanter tightening portion 16 of the intestinal shin ligament tightening portion 20, a strong tightening force is generated in the vertical direction of the body, a weak tightening force is generated in the front-rear direction of the body, and the movement followability is improved. And in the vicinity of the patella part 15, the width | variety of the clearance gap part 21 becomes narrow and a tightening force becomes strong.
[0020]
Further, on the inner crotch 23 side of the thigh, the long adductor elastic banding portion 22 that extends from the knee of the leg to the upper side of the patella 15 and the inner vastus muscle tightening portion that extends from the leg of the leg to the lower side of the patella 15. 24 is formed. The long adductor tightening portion 22 and the inner broad muscle tightening portion 24 are both formed of the tissue D.
[0021]
First, as the long adductor tightening portion 22 approaches the base of the foot, the gap portion 21 is provided so as to incline at an angle close to a right angle in FIG. 1 so that the tightening force in the vertical direction of the body becomes stronger. Yes. In the middle of the inner crotch 23, the gap portion 21 is provided substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the long adductor tightening portion 22, and the width of the gap portion 21 is widened and the tightening force is reduced. As the patella portion 15 is approached, the width of the gap portion 21 becomes narrower and the tightening force is increased again.
[0022]
The inner vastus muscle tightening portion 24 has a weak tightening force on the side where the foot is attached, the tightening force slightly increases in the middle of the inner crotch 23, and an almost uniform tightening force up to the patella portion 15.
[0023]
Here, the outer vastus muscle tightening portion 18 supports the intermediate vastus muscle and the sewing muscle of the thigh 19, and the intestinal shin ligament tightening portion 20 supports the outer vastus muscle below the thigh 19. The long adductor tightening portion 22 supports the long adductor and inner vastus muscle of the inner crotch 23, and the inner vastus tightening portion 24 supports the thin muscle. Thus, the outer vastus muscle and the inner vastus muscle are supported in an X shape by the outer vastus muscle tightening portion 18 and the long adductor muscle tightening portion 22, and the muscles are lifted from below and pulled up in a direction intersecting the X shape.

A plurality of linear gap portions 29 are formed symmetrically about the patella portion 15 in the below-knee tightening portion 28 and have appropriate stretchability. For this reason, it becomes three-dimensional easily at the time of wearing, and can respond to each movement. Further, since the patella portion 15 is not fixed, the patella portion 15 becomes the stretchable portion 12. Then, the below-knee tightening portion 28 locally supports the patella tendon to protect the quadriceps femoris and patella tendons below the knee, and protects the inflammation of the patella 15 and the separation of the rectus femoris. It is preventing. The crus tightening portion 28a extending below the below-knee tightening portion 28 supports the upper part of the gastrocnemius, soleus and anterior tibial muscles.
[0027]
Further, the side edge portions 28 b on both sides slightly below the patella portion 15 of the below-knee tightening portion 28 are formed of the tissue E. The tissue E is based on the same thick ground as the tissue B, and a gap 29 in which the same thin ground as the tissue A of the above embodiment is arranged in a polka dot shape is formed in this thick ground. The size of the polka dot-shaped gap portion 29 is larger than the gap portion 13 of the tissue E used for the below-knee tightening portion 28, and the tightening force is slightly inferior to that of the tissue E, but sweat and heat divergence is greater. It is done efficiently.
[0028]
The method of making the exercise clothing of this embodiment is set so that the thin fabric of the tissue A and the thick fabric of the tissue B are arranged in a predetermined pattern by a warp knitting jacquard knitting machine that creates the stretchable portion 12 of the spats 10. The knitted fabric is automatically knitted together with each tightening part. The knitting structure is obtained by changing the number of elastic yarns per unit section by changing the amount of elastic yarn to be knitted into a ground knitting made of two inelastic yarns made of warp jacquard. Changes in knitted fabric thickness, elasticity, and tightening force. Then, the knitted fabric thus knitted is sewn so as to connect both legs in accordance with a predetermined procedure, and the spats 10 are made.
