Description

The present invention relates to support innerwear that is worn to cover, for example, the wearer's torso and lower abdomen.

Habits of unfavorable postures, such as hunched back postures, can have an adverse effect on beauty and impair health. Conventionally, a belt as shown in FIG. 7 has been used to correct this posture. This belt has a shoulder belt part 51 and a torso belt part 52, and the shoulder belt part 51 is worn across the body, and the torso belt part 52 is wrapped around the waist so that it extends from the shoulder to the lower part of the armpit and around the waist. It tightens the

However, with the above-mentioned conventional belt, digging and stuffiness occur at the contact points of the shoulder belt portion 51 and torso belt portion 52 with the wearer's body, making it uncomfortable and painful to wear for a long time. There is a possibility that it may become unsuitable for wearing over time.

The present invention has been made with the above-mentioned considerations in mind, and an object of the present invention is to provide a support innerwear that can be worn comfortably while supporting correction of the wearer's posture.

In order to achieve the above object, the support innerwear according to the present invention has an upper part that straddles both shoulders of the wearer in the front and back and is integrated with a part that covers the front side of the wearer and a part that covers the back side of the wearer. and a lower part that is connected to the upper part and covers around the wearer's pelvis, and the upper part extends in the vertical direction from the upper end to the lower end of the upper part at the center of the back, and has an upper part. has a darted suture line, which is obtained by suturing the two rear edges located at the center of the back of the upper part, and the two rear edges are aligned with each other on the pattern. When pressed against each other, the lower part almost matches, and the upper part is configured so that it becomes a dart at the upper part. A stretch tape is attached to apply a tensile force toward the rear edges, and the entire two rear edges are sewn to the stretch tape, and during this suturing, the middle part of the stretch tape is stretched against the two rear edges. After suturing, in a free state where the stretch tape is restored by its elastic restoring force, gathers are attached to the intermediate portions of the two rear edges (Claim 1).

In the support innerwear, the upper part and the lower part may be connected at least at the center of the front and the center of the back (Claim 2).

In the support innerwear, a stretch tape other than the stretch tape may be provided along the upper edge of the upper part (Claim 3).

The present invention provides support innerwear that is comfortable to wear and can support correction of the wearer's posture.

In other words, in the support innerwear of the invention according to each claim of the present application, by providing darts and stretch tape at predetermined positions, a tensile force is exerted that tends to direct the wearer's shoulder tips downward at the center of the back. , it can support the wearer's posture correction, and unlike the conventional belt shown in Fig. 7, there is no strong contact between specific parts of the wearer's body, causing digging or stuffiness. , it is possible to wear it comfortably.

FIG. 2 is a front view schematically showing the configuration of a conventional belt when it is worn.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The support innerwear shown in Figures 1 (A) and (B) has an upper part that straddles both shoulders of the wearer and is integrated with a part that covers the front side of the wearer and a part that covers the back side of the wearer. 1, and a lower part 2 connected to the upper part 1 and covering around the wearer's pelvis.

The upper part 1 is obtained by sewing together the front and rear edges of the two left and right upper part pieces 3. At the center of the back of the upper part 1, there is a seam extending in the vertical direction from its upper end to its lower end. The part has darts 4 (see Figure 2) and suture lines 5.

The suture line 5 is formed by the rear edges 6 of the two left and right upper part pieces 3, and the two rear edges 6 are mutually connected on the pattern (in the unfolded state) as shown in FIG. When abutted against each other, the darts 4 are configured so that they substantially match at the bottom and are spaced apart toward the top to form darts 4 at the top.

In this way, by purposely providing the darts 4 by making the fabric area insufficient between the rear edges of the two left and right upper part pieces 3, the upper part 1 has a substantially inverted triangular shape (shown in light ink in FIG. 1B) ( The central upper region of the back (area affected by the darts 4) R1 (area affected by the darts 4) of the isosceles triangular shape is not connected to the sutures when wearing this support innerwear by passing the arms through the armholes 7 provided on each side of the upper part 1. It is stretched to the left and right about line 5, and as a reaction, a force acts on both shoulders (left and right shoulder blades) of the wearer to pull them toward the center of the back.

In order to ensure the transmission of such force, in this example, as shown in FIG. 1(A) and FIG. A tape 9 is provided. This stretch tape 9 extends from a position on the upper edge 8 facing the rear edge 6 to near the bottom of the armhole 7.

In addition, a stretch tape 10 is attached to the back of the upper part 1 to apply a tensile force F (see FIG. 1(B)) downward at the center of the back to the part of the upper part 1 that straddles both shoulders of the wearer in the front and back. Attach to. Here, in this example, the entire (substantially the entire) rear side edges 6 of the two left and right upper part pieces 3 are sewn to the stretch tape 10, and during this suturing, the stretch tape is attached to the rear side edges 6. After stretching and suturing the middle part of the rear edge 6, in a free state where the stretch tape 10 is restored by its elastic restoring force (a state in which no stretching force is applied), gathers G (see FIG. 1) are formed at the middle part of the rear edge 6. so that it is in the attached state. Note that the portion of the stretch tape 10 that is stretched may not be limited to a part of the stretch tape 10, but may be the entire stretch, and when only a portion of the stretch tape 10 is stretched, the portion that is stretched is not limited to the middle portion. Furthermore, the range in which the gathers G are attached to the upper part 1 is not limited to the above.

By stretching and attaching the stretch tape 10 vertically so as to attach the gathers G to the upper part 1 in this way, when wearing this support innerwear, the parts of the upper part 1 where the gathers G are attached will be stretched upward and downward. As a reaction to this, a force is applied near the line connecting the wearer's shoulders (left and right shoulder blades) to pull it downward. Then, this force is combined with the force derived from dart 4 that tries to bring the wearer's shoulders (left and right shoulder blades) toward the center of the back, and causes the tips of the wearer's shoulders to move downward toward the center of the back. It will act as a pulling force F that tries to dodge it.

The support innerwear of this example, in which the darts 4 and the stretch tape 10 are provided to apply the tensile force F to the wearer as described above, can support correction of the wearer's posture such as hunched back. In addition, the support innerwear of this example does not have specific parts that come into strong contact with the wearer's body, causing digging or stuffiness, unlike conventional belts, and can be worn comfortably.

Note that the magnitude of the tensile force F can be changed as appropriate by adjusting the elasticity of the stretch tape 10 and the amount of gathers G.

On the other hand, unlike the upper part 1 which is composed of two left and right upper part pieces 3, the lower part 2 is composed of a single piece of fabric and is obtained by sewing the left and right edges of the piece. It is preferable that the elasticity of the lower part 2 in the body width direction is lower than the elasticity of the upper part 1 in the body width direction in order for the body part 2 to exhibit a pelvic support function (a function that supports correction of pelvic misalignment and distortion). . In other words, by reducing the elasticity of the lower part 2 in the body width direction, the lower part 2, which is firmly attached to the wearer's waist, can exert a pelvic support function, and furthermore, the lower part 2 can be suspended. It also becomes possible to prevent the fabric from rising or falling apart, and to maintain the above-mentioned tensile force F well. Moreover, by increasing the elasticity of the upper part 2 in the body width direction, the wearer can easily move around and wear it. In addition, when the upper part 1 and the lower part 2 are made of the same material (same fabric), the stretching direction is different for both 1 and 2, the upper part 1 has the stretching direction left and right, and the lower part 1 has the stretching direction. It is conceivable to make it face up and down. Of course, the upper part 1 and the lower part 2 may be made of different materials (cloth).

Further, in order to prevent the lower part 2 from being dragged by the movement of the upper part 1 as much as possible, the upper part 1 and the lower part 2 are preferably not connected (stitched) over the entire circumference. Therefore, in this example, when stitching together the lower edge of the upper part 1 and the upper edge of the lower part 2 by, for example, about 2.5 cm, as shown in FIGS. 1(A) and (B) and FIG. 2, A sutured part 11 that performs the suturing and a non-stitched part 12 that does not perform the suturing are provided, and the non-stitched part 12 is arranged on the left and right sides of the front surface. In addition, in order to maintain the above-mentioned tensile force F and reliably obtain the effect of supporting posture correction, the upper part 1 and the lower part 2 are sutured (connected) at least at the center of the front and the center of the back, respectively. This is desirable.

Incidentally, the stretch tapes 9 and 10 used in this example are band-shaped and have higher elasticity in the longitudinal direction than the fabric (material) of the upper part 1.

Furthermore, if the vertically extending suture line formed at the center of the front surface of the support innerwear of this example is made by flat seam sewing, for example, it can be sewn flat on the front and back surfaces, and its strength can be improved. It is also possible to

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, the following modifications can be given.

Specifically, the support innerwear of the present invention may be used not only as underwear such as a sleeveless tank top or camisole, but also as underwear with sleeves. Further, although FIG. 1A shows a cover-up type innerwear, the innerwear is not limited to this, and may be a front-opening type innerwear that can be opened and closed with a button, a zipper, or the like.

In the upper part 1 shown in FIG. 1(A), the neckline 1a has a large U-shape so as to remove the bust part, but the shape and dimensions of the neckline 1a are not limited to this and can be changed in various ways. .

In the examples of FIGS. 1A and 2, the stretch tape 9 is provided along only the upper edge 8 of the upper part 1, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the stretch tape 9 may be extended to It may also be placed along the top of the .

In the embodiment described above, one stretch tape 10 is attached to the center of the back surface of the upper part 1, but the number of stretch tapes 10 and the attachment position thereof can be changed in various ways. However, the stretch tape 10 is attached so as to obtain the tensile force F shown in FIG. 1(B), and as shown in FIG. Attach the stretch tape 10 symmetrically around the suture line 5 in the tied region R2. Specifically, attach one end of the stretch tape 10 in the longitudinal direction near the upper part of the rear center of the lower part 2, and attach the other end to the upper part. It is effective to attach part 1 from the shoulder to the upper part of the back collar. Of course, the stretch tapes 10 may intersect with each other in an X-shape or may be connected in a Y-shape within a range where the above-mentioned tensile force F can be obtained. In addition, in the example of FIG. 3, in addition to the stretch tape 10 shown in FIG. 10 are provided.

Further, in the embodiment described above, the stretch tape 10 is provided so as to remain on the upper part 1, but the stretch tape 10 is not limited thereto, and may be provided so as to extend to the lower part 2.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, the upper part 1 is composed of two left and right upper part pieces 3, but the present invention is not limited to this. 13 (see FIG. 2) may be connected together to form the upper part 1 from a single piece of fabric. Further, similarly to the upper part 1, the lower part 2 may be divided at the rear center and configured with two left and right fabric pieces.

In order to more securely fix the lower part 2 to the pelvis and the body, adjustment means such as a hook-and-loop fastener that can adjust the dimensions around the lower abdomen may be provided.

The support innerwear shown in FIGS. 1(A) and 1(B) is configured such that both the upper part 1 and the lower part 2 taper toward the upper side as a whole. Therefore, in the pattern shown in FIG. The left and right front edges 13 of the part 1 and the left and right front edges 14 of the lower part 2 are inclined so that they are spaced apart from each other (width increases) toward the bottom. The upper edge of the lower part 2 extends in a downwardly convex curve. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the upper part 1 as a whole may be configured to narrow toward the upper side, and conversely, the lower part 2 as a whole may be configured to narrow toward the lower side. In this case, the lower part Regarding the part 2, as shown in FIG. 4, the left and right front edges 14 may be inclined so that they approach each other toward the bottom (the width of the body becomes narrower). Accordingly, in the example of FIG. 4, the upper edge of the lower part 2 extends in an upwardly convex curve. If the lower part 2 is narrowed downward, the effect of preventing the lower part 2 from lifting is enhanced.

Note that the upper part 1 is not limited to narrowing toward the upper side, but may be configured to narrow toward the lower side, for example. And of course, the upper part 1 and the lower part 2 do not necessarily need to taper towards the top or bottom, respectively.

Further, in the example of FIG. 2, the circumferential direction (width direction) dimension of the lower part 2 is approximately the same as that of the upper part 1, but this is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. The dimension in the circumferential direction (body width direction) is made smaller than that of the upper part 1 (the upper edge of the lower part 2 is smaller than the lower edge of the upper part 1), and the lower part 2 is made to fit around the wearer's waist. The pelvic support function may be strengthened by strongly tightening the pelvis. In this case, the upper edge of the lower part 2 is stretched and sewn to the lower edge of the upper part 1.

In the example of FIG. 4, the upper edge and lower edge of the lower part 2 extend parallel to each other, and the vertical width thereof is substantially constant in the circumferential direction, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the lower edge of the lower part 2 is extended in a wavy manner so that the vertical width of the lower part 2 becomes larger on the rear side, thereby further increasing the restraining force of the lower part 2 on the human body. You may try to do so.

Furthermore, if the wearer is expected to engage in relatively strenuous exercise, the lower part 2 should cover the wearer's crotch, as shown in Figure 6, in order to more reliably prevent the wearer from riding up. A gusset portion (crotch portion) 16 may be provided. In the example of FIG. 6, the tip 16a of the gusset 16 connected to the rear part of the lower part 2 and its vicinity are joined (for example, by suturing) to the front end 2a of the lower edge of the lower part 2 and its vicinity (upper part). In addition to non-removable joints using hooks or hook-and-loop fasteners, openings are formed on the left and right sides of the gusset 16 for the wearer's legs to pass through.

It goes without saying that the above modifications may be combined as appropriate.
