Description

  The present invention relates to a waist supporter capable of preventing back pain by obtaining stability by supporting a lumbar spine from the outside.

  A medical corset is well known as a device that fixes the lumbar spine and relieves back pain. The medical corset is a wide belt-like shape having a large elasticity, and is used by firmly fixing it to the waist. Further, as a device for preventing back pain, a belt-like device is wrapped around the waist, a waist support band that supports the waist and prevents back pain, and a waist supporter that reduces fatigue at the waist (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). reference).

  Medical corsets are mounted on underwear, but some belt-like devices that support the lower back are mounted from above clothing (for example, see Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2). Belt-like braces that support the lower back and prevent back pain have names such as lower back fixation bands, lower back supporters, waist supporters, lower back support belts, lower back belts, etc., but these basic functions and configurations are almost the same. Since they are the same, hereinafter, these are collectively referred to as a waist supporter.

  Since the medical corset fixes the waist tightly, when used, it is firmly fixed to the waist with a large tightening force. In addition, many of the conventional waist supporters, including the waist supporters described in Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2, are made using a material having rubber elasticity. Further, an auxiliary belt is provided on the waist supporter body, and the waist is firmly secured. There are many types of tightening. Conventional waist supporters have a good feeling of wearing at the beginning of wearing because they are tightly attached, but over a long time leads to a feeling of pressure and is not suitable for wearing for a long time. If the tightening force is reduced, the feeling of pressure will disappear, but the waist cannot be supported sufficiently.

  If ordinary people such as businessmen can wear waist supporters and can carry out daily activities and activities, it will be useful for preventing back pain. In particular, if it can be worn on top of clothes such as shirts and sweaters, it can be used easily. Some conventional waist supporters can be worn on top of shirts, but there are many products for specific people and it is hard to say that they are fashionable.

  The object of the present invention is to provide a waist supporter that can be worn for a long time without difficulty and that can be worn on top of clothes such as shirts and sweaters and can support the lumbar spine from outside to obtain stability and prevent back pain. Is to provide. Furthermore, it aims to provide a waist supporter with excellent fashionability.

The present invention is a waist supporter for supporting the lumbar vertebrae, which is worn from above the garment, and a support part for supporting the lumbar vertebrae and a belt part located on both sides of the support part and wound around the abdomen from the lateral abdomen The belt body is provided with fixing means capable of fixing each other, and the belt body is between two sheets of stretchable fabric and the two sheets of fabric. The belt- like core material arranged along the outer periphery of the fabric is overlapped and sewn, and the two fabrics have different stretchability in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, and the stretchability of the fabric is large. The waist supporter is characterized in that the direction and the longitudinal direction of the belt body coincide with each other.

In the waist supporter of the present invention, the belt body uses stretchable fabrics having different stretch rates in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, the direction in which the stretch rate of the fabric is large matches the longitudinal direction of the belt body, and further on the outer periphery. Since the belt-like core material is sewn along the belt , the belt main body extends in the longitudinal direction, but the elongation is suppressed within a certain range. For this reason, it is stretched appropriately without being tightened with an unnecessarily large force when it is mounted, and there is no sense of incongruity even when it is mounted. On the other hand, since it is difficult to expand and contract in the short direction of the belt body, the posture is naturally corrected when worn. Back pain can be prevented because the lumbar spine is firmly supported.

  Further, the waist supporter of the present invention has different stretchability in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. Therefore, when the waist supporter is worn, the upper edge and the lower edge cannot be wrinkled even when pulled in the longitudinal (lateral) direction. Since the waist supporter of the present invention is basically worn on top of clothes such as shirts and sweaters, the appearance when worn is also important, and it is important that wrinkles cannot be made when worn. Moreover, durability is also improved by sewing a core material on the outer periphery.

Moreover, the waist supporter of this invention is characterized by the said core material consisting of a raw material with a small elasticity compared with the said cloth | dough in addition to the said structure.

The waist supporter of the present invention uses a core material made of a material that is less stretchable than the fabric used for the belt body as the core material, so that the stretchability of the belt body is used for the belt body. It can be made smaller than its own stretchability. In this case the core material, the use of the elasticity and close elastic core fabric used for the belt body, it is possible to make the elastic belt body stretch fabric itself. In this way, a belt body having an arbitrary stretchability can be obtained simply by changing the core material, so that it is possible to easily and accurately respond to user requests.

  Moreover, the waist supporter of this invention is characterized by the said fabric being a stretch denim place in addition to the said structure.

  The stretch denim fabric is a stretchable fabric having different elongation rates in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, and thus is preferable as the fabric of the waist supporter of the present invention. Furthermore, since stretch denim is excellent in fashion and has many variations in color and texture, it can be suitably used as a fabric for a waist supporter that can be worn over clothing such as shirts and sweaters.

  The waist supporter of the present invention is characterized in that, in addition to the above configuration, a belt loop for passing the other belt portion is provided on one of the belt portions.

  If one belt part is provided with a belt loop, the other belt part does not sway when worn, and the appearance may be good. Since the waist supporter of the present invention is basically worn on top of clothes such as shirts and sweaters, fashionability is important, and it is preferable to provide a belt loop.

Moreover, the waist supporter of the present invention is provided with a reinforcing plate-like body in the support portion in addition to the above configuration, and the plate-like body is a reinforcing fabric in which a plastic net and two interlinings are bonded together. The reinforcing fabric is made of the same fabric as the fabric used in the belt body, and the interlining is made of the same fabric as the core material used in the belt body, and has flexibility .
The waist supporter of the present invention is characterized in that, in addition to the above-described configuration, a reinforcing rod-like body is provided in the support portion, and the rod-like body is formed by forming a stretch denim fabric into a columnar shape. .

In the waist supporter of the present invention, a reinforcing plate and / or rod may be attached to the support as necessary. By attaching a reinforcing plate-like body to the support portion, the lumbar vertebra can be firmly supported, and if the rod-like body is provided on both sides of the support portion, the spinal column standing muscle can be stimulated.
The reinforcing plate-like body is formed using the same fabric as the fabric and core material used in the belt body in addition to the plastic net, so it has moderate strength and is flexible overall. Since it can bend both in the direction and in the vertical direction, there is no sense of incongruity when worn.

  The waist supporter of the present invention is characterized in that, in addition to the above configuration, a pocket is provided in the support portion.

  Since the waist supporter according to the present invention is basically worn on top of clothes such as a shirt and a sweater, convenience is increased by providing a pocket. If a pocket is provided in the waist supporter, it can be used as a substitute for the waist pouch.

  The waist supporter of the present invention can be worn comfortably for a long time, and can be worn from above a clothing such as a shirt and a sweater and the lumbar spine can be supported from outside to obtain stability and prevent back pain. In addition, because it is also fashionable, there is no sense of incongruity even if it is worn on a shirt or sweater.

It is a measurement result of the elongation rate of the longitudinal direction of the waist supporter 1 of FIG. It is a top view of the waist supporter 2 as 2nd Embodiment of this invention. It is a figure for demonstrating the sewing procedure of the waist supporter 2 of FIG. 8, and is sectional drawing of the cutting line BB of FIG. It is a perspective view of the pocket 61 of the waist supporter 3 as 3rd Embodiment of this invention.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a waist supporter 1 as a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the waist supporter 1, and FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a sewing procedure of the waist supporter 1. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along section line AA in FIG. 2. 4 and 5 are perspective views of the state in which the waist supporter 1 is worn from above the shirt. FIG. 4 is a view as seen from an oblique front, and FIG. 5 is a view as seen from an oblique rear.

  In the present embodiment, the front side of the waist supporter 1 is the same as the outer side when the waist supporter 1 is worn. On the other hand, the back side of the waist supporter 1 agrees with the inner side in the direction of the body side when the waist supporter 1 is worn. Hereinafter, for ease of understanding, typical dimensions in the case of an M male waist supporter 1 for adult men will be described, but the waist supporter 1 of the present invention is not limited to this dimension.

  The waist supporter 1 is a brace that can be worn around the lumbar region to support the lumbar spine from the outside, maintain the stability of the lumbar spine, and prevent low back pain. Can do. The waist supporter 1 can be worn on underwear, but it is basically worn on top of clothing such as T-shirts, shirts, blouses, sweaters, vests, cardigans, etc. It is a brace that can be worn when working or living.

  The waist supporter 1 has a belt main body 11 that swells in the center and has an elongated strip shape as a whole. The waist supporter 1 has a support portion 13 that supports and fixes the lumbar spine at the central portion of the belt main body 11, and is continuous with the support portion 13. On both sides, belt portions 15 (15a, 15b) wound around the abdomen from the side are provided. Further, the belt portion 15 is provided with surface fasteners 21 (21a, 21b) capable of fixing the belt portions 15a, 15b to each other. Further, a belt loop 23 is attached to one belt portion 15a.

  The support portion 13 has a length that can substantially cover the lumbar portion (the entire circumference of the back portion) when the waist supporter 1 is mounted, and the width (height) has a width that can firmly support and fix the lumbar vertebra. The size of the support portion varies depending on the physique of the person who uses it. For example, in the case of M size for an adult male, the length is about 22 cm and the width is about 16 cm.

  The belt portion 15 (15a, 15b) is a portion that wraps around the abdomen from the flank (lateral abdomen) when the waist supporter 1 is worn. The belt portion 15 is narrower than the support portion 13 and has a parallel portion 17 (17a, 17b) having a substantially constant width, and an inclined portion 19 (19a, 19b) smoothly connecting the parallel portion 17 and the support portion 13. ). The size of the belt portion 15 varies depending on the physique of the person who uses it. For example, in the case of an M size for an adult male, the length of one belt portion 19a (19b) is about 41.5 cm and the parallel portion 17 The length and width are about 17.5 cm and about 9 cm, respectively.

  The support portion 13 and the belt portion 15 of the belt main body 11 are integrally formed. The upper edge portion 35 of the band main body 11 is substantially flat, but the parallel portion 17 of the band portion 15 is slightly upward toward the end portion, and is generally slightly curved. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, there is no clear division between the support portion 13 and the belt portion 15 and between the parallel portion 17 and the inclined portion 19 of the belt portion.

  Many conventional waist supporters have substantially the same width, but this waist supporter 1 fits the support part 13 to the whole waist part to firmly support and fix the lumbar vertebrae and keep the waist supporter 1 for a long time. The above-mentioned shape is adopted so that it can be mounted without difficulty. Furthermore, by making the shape of the waist supporter 1 as described above, it becomes easy to attach and detach, and is excellent in fashionability.

  In the surface fastener 21, a male surface fastener 21a is sewn to the outer end portion of one belt portion 15a, and a female surface fastener 21b is sewn to the inner end portion of the other belt portion 15b, and the waist supporter 1 is attached. Then, the waist supporter 1 can be firmly fixed to the waist by locking the male surface fastener 21a and the female surface fastener 21b. The male surface fastener 21a and the female surface fastener 21b are large in width and length so that the waist supporter 1 can be firmly fixed to the waist. For example, in the case of M size for an adult male, both the male surface fastener 21a and the female surface fastener 21b are 7 cm wide and 12 cm long. Of course, the positions of the male surface fastener 21a and the female surface fastener 21b may be interchanged.

  In the present embodiment, a rectangular and large surface fastener 21 is used, but the shape and size are not particularly limited as long as the waist supporter 1 can be firmly fixed to the waist. Since the surface fastener 21 is a fixing means for firmly fixing the waist supporter 1 to the waist when the waist supporter 1 is attached, a fixing means in place of the surface fastener 21 may be used. For example, hooks and buttons can be used. However, the hook-and-loop fastener 21 can be said to be a preferable fixing means in consideration of being able to cope with a wide range of waist sizes without being limited to a specific waist size and detachability.

  The belt loop 23 is a member for passing and fastening the belt portion 15b when the waist supporter 1 is attached, and is attached to an intermediate portion of the belt portion 15a so as to be aligned with the male surface fastener 21a. The belt loop 23 is a wide belt loop, and by providing the belt loop 23, the end of the belt portion 15b can be prevented from wobbling when the waist supporter 1 is attached. Since this waist supporter 1 is basically worn on top of clothing such as a shirt or sweater, there are many occasions when the end of the belt portion 15b hangs, and in some cases, the belt portion 15b is locked. The belt loop 23 is preferably provided from the standpoint of preventing this. The belt loop 23 may be provided on the belt portion 15b side.

  FIG. 3 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a sewing procedure viewed along the cutting line AA in FIG. 2A. Since FIG. 3 is a drawing for explaining the sewing procedure, the scale is not necessarily the same. The band main body 11 is made using stretch denim having different elongation rates in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. The stretchable denim is made into a front fabric 25 and a back fabric 27, the front fabric 25 and the back fabric 27 are overlapped, and core materials 29, 31 are placed between the front fabric 25 and the back fabric 27 on the outer periphery. These are integrally sewn and formed. Core materials 29 and 31 are sewn to the front side fabric 25 and the back side fabric 27, respectively, and 3 mm edge stitches are provided on the outer periphery.

  Stretch denim fabric having different stretchability in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction is suitable for the fabric of the band body 11. When using a stretch denim fabric, it is important to match the direction in which the stretchability of the fabric is large and the longitudinal direction of the band body 11, and here the direction in which the stretchability of the front fabric 25 and the back fabric 27 is large and the band body. 11 coincides with the longitudinal direction. When the direction in which the stretchability of the fabric is large coincides with the longitudinal direction of the band main body 11, the band main body 11 is easily stretched in the longitudinal direction and hardly stretched in the lateral direction. Since the lumbar vertebra moves in the front-rear (longitudinal) direction, the lumbar vertebra can be firmly supported and fixed by suppressing the expansion / contraction ratio of the waist supporter 1 in the short direction. On the other hand, it is preferable that the longitudinal direction of the band body 11 is larger in stretchability than the longitudinal direction in terms of fitting to the waist.

  The front side fabric 25 and the back side fabric 27 are basically the same fabric. This is advantageous in terms of cost compared to the case of using different fabrics. On the other hand, when it is desired to change the wearability, breathability, etc. according to the user's request, the adjustment becomes easy by using stretch denim fabrics having different stretchability.

  Table 1 shows the elongation percentage of typical stretch denim fabrics. The elongation is measured by the JIS L 1096: 2010 8.16.1A method (slow elongation method).

  The front side fabric 25 and the back side fabric 27 greatly affect the elongation rate of the band main body 11, and the elongation rate of the band main body 11 greatly affects the feeling of wearing. For this reason, the cloth is preferably a cloth or a combination of cloths that generates an elongation rate of the band main body 11 that produces an appropriate tightening feeling without giving a feeling of pressure when worn. As a result of making a prototype of the West Supporter 1 with various fabric changes, a monitor test was conducted. (1) Stretch denim with the name B12Z on the front and back sides, (2) Stretch denim with the name B11Z on the back, and the name on the front B12Z stretchable denim fabric (3) It was found that the combination of the front and back sides with the stretchable denim fabric of the product name B11Z was preferable in terms of wearing feeling and air permeability. It goes without saying that the front side fabric 25 and the back side fabric 27 may be appropriately selected according to the user's preference.

  Stretch denim is a fabric that is preferable in terms of fashionability in addition to stretchability. As is well known, stretch denim is used for jeans and the like, is excellent in fashionability, and has many variations in color and texture, so it is preferable as a fabric for a waist supporter to be worn on top of clothes such as shirts and sweaters.

  The core materials 29 and 31 also greatly affect the elongation rate of the band body 11. The core material 29 and the core material 31 basically use the same core material. The stretch rate of the band body 11 differs greatly depending on whether or not the core materials 29 and 31 are inserted, and the stretchability of the band body 11 is adjusted by using the core materials 29 and 31 having different stretch properties. Can do.

  Next, the result of having measured each characteristic value of the waist supporter 1 of this embodiment is shown.

<Elongation rate of West Supporter 1>
The measuring point and result of the elongation rate of waist supporter 1 are shown. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the elongation percentage of the belt portion 15b of the waist supporter 1 is measured. The elongation was measured in the following manner. Rings 111 and 113 fitted into the pipes 101 and 103 were made before and after the portion where the elongation percentage was measured. The rings 111 and 113 were produced by folding the waist supporter 1 and sewing it. A metal pipe 101 was passed through one of the rings 111, and the pipe 101 was suspended. A metal pipe 103 was also passed through the other ring 113, and a weight 105 was attached to this pipe 103. The weight of the weight 105 was changed, and the length of the corresponding part was measured with a ruler to obtain the elongation rate.

  The elongation of the waist supporter 1 is measured by setting the center in the longitudinal direction of the waist supporter 1 to 0, (A) 15 cm, (B) 30 cm, (C) 30 cm on the left and right—total 60 cm, and (D) of the belt portion 15 a. It carried out about the inclined part 11.5cm.

  FIG. 7 shows the measurement results of the elongation at a portion of 30 cm on the left and right in the longitudinal direction and 60 cm in total with the center of the support portion 13 of the belt main body 11 being zero. This portion corresponds to the support portion 13 of the belt main body 11 and the inclined portions 19a and 19b of the belt portion, and corresponds to a length of about 60% of the belt main body 11. The elongation percentage was calculated using the formula (1).

  From FIG. 7, the elongation rate of any waist supporter 1 increased in proportion to the load. Further, the elongation varies greatly depending on the presence or absence of the core materials 29 and 31. When the core materials 29 and 31 were not attached, the elongation rate was equal to or higher than that of the rubber waist supporter. In FIG. 7, B12Z-11Z (with core material) indicates that the outer fabric is a stretch denim fabric with the product name B12Z, the inner fabric is a stretch denim fabric with the product name B11Z, and the core material is attached to the outer periphery. . Here, a cotton core having a width of 1.5 cm is used as the core material, and a thread having a 30th span is used as the yarn. Neoprene rubber AK-048 is a commercially available rubber support (comine, AK-048 neoprene waist supporter).

  In another experiment, the front and back fabrics 25 and 27 are stretchy denim fabrics with the product name B12Z, and the waist supporter 1 with the core materials 29 and 31 made of a 1.5 cm wide cotton core is worn by a middle-thick man. When the tightening force when mounted was measured, the tightening force was 40-60 N when tightened normally without being particularly loose and not particularly loose. With reference to this, the elongation percentage of each waist supporter with a load of 6 kg is shown in Table 2 in FIG.

  It can be seen from Table 2 that when the core materials 29 and 31 are attached, the influence of the fabric itself is suppressed and an elongation of about 4 to 5.5% is exhibited regardless of the fabric. When the core materials 29 and 31 are attached, the elongation rate is 1/3 to 1/5 of the case where the core material is not attached, and when the core materials 29 and 31 are attached, a commercially available rubber support waist supporter It becomes 1/3 to 1/4 of the elongation. Since the cotton cores are the core materials 29 and 31 that are difficult to stretch, if the core materials 29 and 31 having high stretchability are used, the stretch rate of the waist supporter 1 approaches the stretch rate without the core materials 29 and 31.

<Waist supporter 1 wearing and muscle activity>
Table 3 shows the results of measuring the relationship between the presence or absence of the waist supporter 1 and the muscle activity. The numerical values in Table 3 are integrated values of myoelectric data for 10 seconds for each muscle. When a person flexes the trunk (forward bending), the back muscles work, and when the trunk extends (back bending), the rectus abdominis and oblique abdominal muscles work. When the waist supporter 1 is worn and bent forward, any muscle activity decreases, but the reduction rate of the back muscles is the largest at about 81%. From this result, it can be seen that the muscle activity is supported by the waist supporter 1.

<Receiving pressure when wearing waist supporter 1>
When a waist supporter is attached to a mannequin for gentlemen using an air pack type internal pressure measuring device and the pressure applied to each part is measured, the waist supporter 1 shown in the present embodiment is a commercially available rubber waist supporter at the pressure applied to the flank. It was about 50% of (Neoplane rubber AK-048).

  As described above, the waist supporter 1 shown in the present embodiment uses stretch denim fabrics having different stretch rates in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, and matches the direction in which the stretch rate of the fabric is large with the longitudinal direction of the belt body, By sewing the core materials 29 and 31 along the outer periphery, the stretchability of the belt body 11 in the longitudinal direction can be suppressed as compared with a commercially available rubber waist supporter. When worn by restraining the stretchability of the belt body 11 in the longitudinal direction, it is stretched appropriately without being tightened with an unnecessarily large force, and even when worn, there is no sense of incongruity and it can be worn comfortably for a long time. . On the other hand, since it is difficult to expand and contract in the short direction of the belt body 11, the posture is naturally corrected when worn. Back pain can be prevented because the lumbar spine is firmly supported.

  The waist supporter 1 shown in the present embodiment does not have an auxiliary belt often found in conventional rubber waist supporters, and the structure and shape are very simple, but the lumbar spine is firmly supported by adopting the shape and configuration described above. It is possible to wear it for a long time without difficulty while fixing. In the case of a device worn by a general person during daily life or work, it is preferable that the device can be worn for a long time without difficulty. If a material with great elasticity such as a rubber-based fabric is used, the tightening force when attached is likely to increase. When the tightening force is strong, the wearing feeling is good at the beginning of wearing, but over a long time leads to a feeling of pressure and is not suitable for wearing for a long time.

I actually made a waist supporter with the following specifications and got it attached to the monitor.
Front fabric: B12Z, back fabric: B12Z Outer core: 1.5cm wide cotton core Thread: 30th <Monitor: Female>
Although there is a feeling of wearing immediately after wearing, it is better to have a natural feeling without feeling natural. The place where the posture naturally improves without feeling of wearing is wonderful.
<Monitor: Farmer>
There should be no feeling of pressure when standing or sitting.
<Monitor: Male office worker (50s)>
Most of the day is desk work, but I forget to wear it during work.
<Monitor: Male office worker (60s)>
In summer, I wore it on a shirt and went to work by train.

  All the monitors did not experience any loosening force, and it was confirmed that a certain amount of tightening force continued although there was no feeling of wearing.

  Since the waist supporter 1 has different elongation rates in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, the upper edge portion 35 and the lower edge portion 36 cannot be wrinkled even when pulled in the longitudinal (lateral) direction. Since the waist supporter 1 shown in the present embodiment is basically worn on top of clothes such as a shirt and a sweater, it is important that wrinkles are not formed when worn. Furthermore, fashionability is important in consideration of wearing shirts, sweaters, and other clothing. Stretch denim fabric is preferred as a material for the waist supporter 1 because it is fashionable and has many variations in color and texture. Moreover, durability is also improved by sewing the core materials 29 and 31 on the outer periphery.

  Moreover, since the waist supporter 1 shown in this embodiment can adjust the stretchability of the waist supporter 1 by the core materials 29 and 31 provided along the outer periphery in addition to the stretchability of the stretch denim fabric used, It is possible to easily and accurately respond to user requests. In particular, even if the same fabric is used, it is efficient because the belt main body 11 having an arbitrary stretchability can be obtained only by changing the core materials 29 and 31.

  FIG. 8 is a plan view of a waist supporter 2 as a second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9 is a view for explaining a sewing procedure of the waist supporter 2, and is a cross-sectional view taken along a cutting line BB in FIG. Since FIG. 9 is a drawing for explaining the sewing procedure, the scale is not necessarily the same. The same configurations and parts as those of the waist supporter 1 shown in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. Hereinafter, for ease of understanding, typical dimensions in the case of an M male waist supporter 2 for adult men will be described, but the waist supporter 2 of the present invention is not limited to this dimension.

  The basic configuration such as the shape of the waist supporter 2 and the fabric to be used is the same as the waist supporter 1 of the first embodiment. However, the waist supporter 2 is provided with a plate-like reinforcing plate 41 on the support portion 13 of the belt body 12. Is different. The reinforcing plate 41 is provided in the central portion of the support portion 13 for the purpose of further improving the support and fixation of the lumbar spine.

  The reinforcing plate 41 is composed of a reinforcing fabric 43 bonded with an interlining 45, a reinforcing fabric 49 bonded with an interlining 47, and a plastic net 51. Between the front fabric 25 and the back fabric 27, the reinforcing fabric 43, the interlining 45, the interlining 47, the reinforcing fabric 49, and the plastic net 51 are arranged in this order from the front fabric 25 to the back fabric 27. The back side fabric 27 is sewn together. In the case of M size for adult men, the width of the reinforcing fabric is 16 cm, the length is 16.5 cm, the width of the plastic net is 14 cm, and the width is about 14.5 cm. The sewing location is sewn in the vertical direction at a position of 62.5 mm from the center to the left and right from the center.

  The reinforcing fabric 43, the interlining 45, the interlining 47, and the reinforcing fabric 49 constituting the reinforcing plate 41 are not limited to specific fabrics, but the reinforcing fabrics 43 and 49 may be the same fabric as the front fabric 25 or the back fabric 27. As the interlinings 45 and 47, the same fabric as the core materials 29 and 31 can be preferably used. In this way, the preparation of the dough is easy and an appropriate strength can be obtained.

  The thickness of the support portion 13 provided with the reinforcing plate 41 is about 3 to 4 mm, has flexibility as a whole, and can be bent in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. For this reason, when the waist supporter 2 is attached, the waist can be fitted and the waist can be firmly supported. Moreover, since it has flexibility, there is no sense of incongruity when it is worn.

  Furthermore, when it is desired to increase the strength of the support portion 13 of the waist supporter 2, a stay may be attached as a reinforcing rod. The stay is made of, for example, a stretch denim fabric having a cylindrical shape with a diameter of about 2 cm and a height of 14 cm, and is disposed on the back side of the plastic net 51 between the front side fabric 25 and the back side fabric 27, and the front side fabric 25, the back side fabric 27 and What is necessary is just to sew together with the reinforcement board 41. FIG. The attachment position is preferably a position that stimulates the spine erect muscle.
