Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to pants with a supporter that supports the back side waist of the wearer.

As this kind of conventional technology, there is one shown in Patent Document 1. In the prior art described in Patent Document 1, a bag made of a flexible fabric material is attached to the back surface of a waist member, and the bag is divided into three parts in the waist direction so as to follow the curve of the waist. It has a hard pad made of urethane resin, etc. inside, and by tightening the belt, the hard pad is pressed against the waist, providing excellent fit to the waist and supporting that area.

Although such conventional technology is mainly aimed at sports pants, the desire to improve stability and reduce the burden on the lower back region has been voiced not only by athletes but also by people who are forced to work while seated for long periods of time. These include sewing workers and taxi drivers, as well as nursing care workers and care recipients whose work often puts strain on their lower backs.

Utility model registration No. 3076152

However, in the prior art described in Patent Document 1, since the upper end of the bag with the hard pad inside is attached to the waist part of the pants (Claim 3, paragraph [0008], etc.), the position of the top of the bag is As a result, when the wearer bends forward, the waist on the back side is exposed, which not only does not look good, but also causes the waist to become cold.

In addition, regarding the range that can support the lumbar region, it is difficult to say that it provides sufficient support for the lumbar region, as the position of the bag with hard padding does not extend beyond the height of the waist of the pants. Ta.

Furthermore, the conventional technology described in Patent Document 1 is configured to press the hard pad against the waist by tightening the belt, so the tightness of the waist of the pants and the tightness of the hard pad are inseparably related. As a result, if you try to forcefully press the hard pad against your lower back, you have to tighten the belt too tightly, which does not look good. There was a problem that it could not be adjusted.

The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide pants with a supporter that can prevent the wearer's back waist from being exposed and can sufficiently support the waist over a wide range. With the goal.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized by being configured as follows.
That is, the present invention
Pants with a supporter that supports the back side lumbar region of the wearer,
The pants body,
a support surface portion that is integrally provided on the back side of the trouser body and whose top portion is located above the waist portion of the trouser body;
a waistband that is placed inside the waist of the pants body and is wrapped around the waist of the wearer to press the support surface against the back waist of the wearer;
It is characterized by having the following.

According to the present invention, since the support surface portion located on the back side of the trouser body extends to a position above the waist portion of the trouser body, the lumbar region can be supported over a wide range. In addition, since the support surface is integrally formed with the pants body, the waist on the back side will not be exposed even when the wearer bends forward.

Furthermore, in the present invention, while the support surface portion is integrated with the trouser body, a waistband is provided separately inside the waist portion of the trouser body, which is wrapped around the waist of the wearer and presses the support surface portion against the back side waist of the wearer. Therefore, even if the waist belt is tightened tightly, the appearance is not adversely affected, and the tightness between the support surface part and the back waist of the wearer can be adjusted independently of the tightness of the waist part of the pants body. For this reason, it is possible to wear the pants loosely and still have the support surface part pressed firmly against the waist.

As one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention,
The waist belt includes a main belt body that is relatively stretchable in its longitudinal direction, and by stretching this main belt body relatively to the waist belt, the support surface portion is pressed against the back side waist region of the wearer. It is preferable to configure it as follows.

With this configuration, the support surface part can be applied to the back side lumbar region by fastening the waist belt, and then the support surface part can be pressed against the back side lumbar region by stretching the main belt body relative to the waist belt. The degree to which the support surface is pressed can be finely adjusted using the main band.

Furthermore, as one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention,
The waist belt includes a stretchable secondary band that connects the main belt and the support surface, and when the main belt is stretched relative to the waist belt, the secondary band also stretches. Accordingly, it is preferable that the support surface portion is bent in a dogleg shape when viewed from the side.

With this configuration, when the wearer bends forward and the waist belt stretches, the support surface portion also bends in a dogleg shape to follow the wearer's body, so the support surface portion is placed in front of the wearer. It can be made to follow bent postures. This can prevent the support surface from separating from the wearer's body and creating a gap between them when the wearer bends forward.

Furthermore, as one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention,
The sub-strip includes left and right upper sub-strips that connect the left and right positions of the main band and the upper position of the support surface, and connects the left and right positions of the main band and the lower position of the support surface, respectively. It is preferable to include left and right lower sub-bands to be coupled, and to configure the left and right upper sub-bands and lower sub-bands to be arranged in a substantially diamond shape.

With this configuration, the support surface portion can effectively follow the posture of the wearer.

Furthermore, as one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, it is preferable that the support surface portion includes a removable support core material.

With this configuration, it is possible to replace the support core material, and if the support core material is composed of a plurality of divided bodies, each of which can be attached and detached, the number of pieces to be attached or the number of pieces to be attached can be adjusted according to the wearer's body shape and preference. Since the number of pieces can be adjusted, it is possible to provide more suitable lumbar support.

Furthermore, as one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, it is preferable that the support core material is made of a shape memory material.

With this configuration, it is possible to freely form a shape that fits the posture of the individual wearer or a desired shape, and it is also possible to stably hold the shape, so it is possible to easily obtain pants with highly compatible supports. can.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain pants with a supporter that can prevent the wearer's back waist region from being exposed and can sufficiently support the waist region over a wide range.

(shown). FIG. 3 is a diagram comparing the natural state and the stretched state of the main band body and the sub-band body.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. In addition, in the following, the left and right direction means the left and right as seen from the wearer.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, trousers with supports 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention include a trouser body 2, a support surface portion 3 integrally provided in the trouser body 2, and a waist band 4. As shown in FIG. 3(B), the trousers body 2 is equipped with a gouged part 2b that has a shape in which the waist area on the back side is largely gouged downward, and is different from normal trousers in this point. .

The support surface part 3 is made by overlapping two pieces of breathable mesh fabric (preferably relatively thick and stiff ones), an inner surface part 3a and an outer surface part 3b, so as to cover the gouged part 2b of the pants body 2. It is integrated with the pants body 2 by stitching its peripheral edge. In this embodiment, the inner side surface part 3a and the outer side surface part 3b are integrated (also integrated with the pants body 2) by sewing their peripheral edges together. The uppermost part of the support surface part 3 is located above the waist part 2a of the pants main body 2, and the lowermost part thereof is located below the waist part 2a of the pants main body 2, so that the wearer's back side It covers a wide area of the lower back. In addition, although the support surface part 3 of this embodiment has an octagonal shape, it is not limited to this shape.

As shown in FIG. 4(A), storage pockets 6 for storing the support core material 5 are provided on the inner surface (the surface on the human body side) of the inner surface portion 3a of the support surface portion 3 so as to be parallel to the vertical direction. There is. In this embodiment, a total of four support core materials 5, two sets long and short, can be attached, and correspondingly, four storage pockets 6, two sets long and short, are provided. In this embodiment, a total of four support core materials 5, two sets of long and short lengths, can be installed symmetrically, so that a short support core material 5 can be installed on the outside and a long support core material 5 can be installed on the inside. ing.

The storage pocket 6 is provided with a cut 6a that extends in the horizontal direction, and the support core material 5 can be stored inside the storage pocket 6 through this cut 6a, and the support core material 5 can be inserted through the cut 6a. It can also be taken out. The support core material 5 has a flat and elongated plate shape, and is made of shape memory resin. A belt loop 10 for passing a belt through is provided on the outer surface of the outer surface portion 3b of the support surface portion 3 (the surface on the opposite side to the human body). However, providing the belt loop 10 on the outer surface portion 3b is not an essential configuration.

The positional relationship between the waist part 2a of the pants body 2 and the support core material 5 in this embodiment is that the top of the support core material 5 is located above the waist part 2a of the pants body 2, and the bottom part of the support core material 5 is located above the waist part 2a of the pants body 2. It is located below the waist part 2a of the wearer (corresponding to the upper part of the buttocks), thereby making it possible to support the wearer's back side lumbar region over a wide range in the vertical direction. Note that the lateral direction or the horizontal direction is handled by arranging a plurality of support core materials 5 in parallel (an example in which the support core material is composed of a plurality of divided bodies corresponds to this).

The waist belt 4 is provided on both the left and right sides of the support surface part 3, and is arranged inside the waist part 2a of the pants body 2 (on the human body side). A hook-and-loop fastener 20 is provided on the outer surface of both ends of the waist belt 4 (the surface on the side opposite to the human body), and a hook-and-loop fastener 21 is provided on the inner surface (the surface on the human body side) of the left end of the waist belt 4. It is provided. When the waist belt 4 is wrapped around the waist, the hook-and-loop fastener 20 provided on the outer surface of the right end (surface opposite to the human body) and the hook-and-loop fastener 20 provided on the inner surface of the left end (surface facing the human body) By engaging the attached hook-and-loop fasteners 21, both ends of the waist belt 4 can be fastened and fixed at appropriate positions. Note that, in this embodiment, no hook-and-loop fastener is provided on the inner surface of the right end portion of the waist belt 4 (the surface facing the human body). Further, the function of the hook-and-loop fastener 20 provided on the outer surface of the left end of the waist belt 4 (the surface opposite to the human body) will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 5(B), a single elastic main band 4a made of rubber is inserted into the left and right waist bands 4 through between the inner side 3a and the outer side 3b of the support surface 3. Both ends of the main belt body 4a are led out to the outside of the waist belt 4 at an intermediate portion of the outer surface of the waist belt 4 (the surface opposite to the human body). Hook-and-loop fasteners 22 are provided on both the front and back sides of each end of the main band 4a. This main belt body 4a can be stretched relative to the waist belt 4, and by stretching this main belt body 4a relatively to the waist belt 4, it can be pulled out from inside the waist belt 4. . Then, attach the hook-and-loop fasteners 22 (as described above, these are provided on both the front and back sides) provided at each of the left and right ends of the main belt body 4a to the outer surface of each left and right end of the waist belt 4 (which is not connected to the human body). By engaging with the hook-and-loop fastener 20 provided on the opposite surface, the stretched state can be maintained at that position. Further, the proximal surface of the waistband 4 through which the main belt 4a is inserted is also made of a stretchable material, so that the waistband 4 itself is elastic. However, as long as the main band body 4a is configured to be elastic, the elasticity of the waist band 4 itself is not essential. Note that FIGS. 5 and 6 show the case in a natural state in which no load is applied to the main band body 4a (a state in which the main band body 4a is not stretched relative to the waist belt 4).

In this way, the main belt body 4a extends inside the left and right waist belts 4 by passing through the inside of the support surface part 3 (between the inside face part 3a and the outside face part 3b), but the main belt body 4a also extends inside the support surface part 3. 3, it is integrated with the inner side surface portion 3a by elastic sub-bands 4b and 4c made of rubber. Specifically, in the upper half of the inner side part 3a, an upper secondary band member 4b connects the left and right positions of the main band member 4a and the upper position of the outer surface (the surface opposite to the human body) of the inner side face part 3a. A lower side is provided on each of the left and right sides, and connects the left and right positions of the main band 4a and the lower position of the outer surface (the surface opposite to the human body) of the inner side surface 3a in the lower half of the inner side surface 3a. Subband members 4c are provided on each of the left and right sides. These left and right upper sub-bands 4b and lower sub-bands 4c are arranged in a substantially rhombus shape in plan view. By configuring the main band 4a and the sub-bands 4b and 4c in this way, when the main band 4a is stretched in the longitudinal direction, the above-mentioned diamond-shaped portion is also stretched in the lateral direction. The effects brought about as a result of this action will be described later.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the main band body 4a is sewn integrally with the inner side surface part 3a at the center part 30 (the center part in the left-right direction and the vertical direction) of the inner side surface part 3a. However, such a configuration is not essential, and the main band 4a and the inner side surface 3a (or the support surface 3) may be connected only through the sub bands 4b and 4c.

The supporter-equipped pants 1 of this embodiment configured as described above operates as follows.
First, the wearer puts both legs through the pants 1 like when wearing regular pants, and then pulls up the waist part 2a to the height of the waist. Since the support surface portion 3 is constructed integrally with the waist portion 2a of the pants body 2, the support surface portion 3 is also pulled up and positioned near the waist on the back side of the wearer. In this state, when the waist belt 4 is wrapped around the wearer's waist and tightened, the support surface portion 3 is pressed against the wearer's back side waist. In this embodiment, since the waist belt 4 itself is configured to be elastic, the degree of close contact of the support surface portion 3 may be adjusted depending on the elasticity of the waist belt 4 itself. Since it is relatively stretchable, the waist belt 4 may be wrapped around the waist, and then the main belt body 4a may be further stretched from the waist belt 4 to adjust the tightness of the support surface portion 3.

In this way, while adjusting the tightness of the support surface part 3 using the waist belt 4 or the main belt body 4a, lock the hook-and-loop fasteners 20 and 21 of the left and right waist belts 4 and the hook-and-loop fastener 22 of the main belt body 4a at appropriate positions. Fix the support surface part 3. This completes the lumbar support. After that, the waist part 2a of the pants main body 2 is worn over the waist belt 4 as when wearing regular pants, and if necessary, the belt is fastened to complete the wear. As described above, in this embodiment, the degree of close contact or the degree of pressing of the support surface portion 3 against the back side waist region of the wearer is adjusted separately from the degree of tightening of the waist portion 2a of the pants body 2.

In the above-mentioned wearing process, when the waist belt 4 is wrapped around the wearer's waist and the waist belt 4 itself or the main belt body 4a is tightened, the main belt body 4a expands from side to side as shown in FIG. As a result of the body 4b and the lower subband body 4c being pulled left and right, the rhombus shape that they constitute is also being pulled left and right. In FIG. 7, the state shown by the broken line is the stretched state, and the state shown by the solid line is the natural state. In addition to this action, due to the action of the main band 4a being wrapped around the wearer's waist in an annular manner, the support surface portion 3 to which one ends of the sub bands 4b and 4c are connected is also bent into a dogleg shape when viewed from the side. It turns out. As a result, when the wearer bends forward and the waist belt 4 stretches, the support surface portion 3 also bends in a dogleg shape to follow the wearer's body, and the support surface portion 3 It can be made to follow a forward bending posture.

Further, since the support core material 5 of this embodiment is made of shape memory resin, it can be used after being deformed into a shape preferred by the wearer in advance. Thereby, the shape of the support surface portion 3 can be adjusted as appropriate according to the wearer's preference.

As described above, according to the supporter-equipped trousers 1 of the present embodiment, the support surface portion 3 provided with the support core material 5 extends to a position above the waist portion 2a of the trouser body 2, so that the lumbar region extends over a wide range. can be fully supported.

Further, in this embodiment, since the support surface portion 3 is integrally formed with the pants body 2, the waist portion on the back side is not exposed even when the wearer bends forward.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, while the support surface part 3 is integrated with the trouser body 2, a waist band 4 that is wrapped around the waist of the wearer and presses the support surface part 3 against the back side waist of the wearer is attached to the trouser body 2. Since it is provided inside the waist part 2a, it does not adversely affect the appearance even if the waist belt 4 is tightened tightly, and the support surface part 3 is attached to the wearer's back side waist area independently of the tightening condition of the waist part 2a of the pants body 2. You can adjust the degree of contact. Therefore, it is possible to wear the pants loosely and still press the support surface 3 firmly against the waist.

Further, in this embodiment, since the support core material 5 is configured to be detachable from the support surface part 3, the support core material 5 can be easily replaced, and the number of support core materials 5 can be adjusted according to the wearer's body shape. Can be adjusted. Specifically, when used by a person with a small waist size, the two outer support core materials 5 are removed and only the two inner support core materials 5 are used, and when used by a person with a large waist size. In this case, it is possible to use all four support core materials 5 to suit the wearer's body shape. Alternatively, the support core material 5 may be completely removed and worn.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the wearer bends forward and the waistband 4 stretches, the support surface portion 3 also bends in a dogleg shape to follow the wearer's body. 3 can be made to follow the posture of the wearer. This can prevent the support surface portion 3 from separating from the wearer's body and creating a gap between the two when the wearer bends forward.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the support surface part 3 is made of breathable mesh fabric, even if it covers a wide area, it can reduce stuffiness and heat sensation, and improve comfort. can be kept.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the configuration of the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiments. In the present embodiment, the main belt body 4a is configured to be expandable and contractable relative to the waist belt 4, but it may be configured such that both are expandable and contractible only integrally. In this embodiment, one end of the sub-bands 4b and 4c that connect the main band 4a and the support surface 3 is connected to the inner surface 3a of the support surface 3, but is configured to be connected to the outer surface 3b. You may.

In the present embodiment, the left and right waist belts 4 are locked to each other by the hook-and-loop fasteners 20 and 21, but the means for locking the waist belts 4 is not limited to hook-and-loop fasteners. Additionally, the hook-and-loop fastener 22 was also used as a means for locking the main band body 4a stretched relatively to the waist belt 4, but the hook-and-loop fastener 22 was used as a means for engaging the two. It is not limited to. However, if hook-and-loop fasteners are used for these means, they can be freely adapted to the wearer's size, and the hook-and-loop fasteners can also be used to adjust the tightness of the waist and the tightness of the support surface to the back waist. It is very convenient because it can be adjusted freely within the range.

In the present embodiment, a total of four support core materials 5, two pairs of long and short differing only in length, are configured to be stored in four storage pockets 6 parallel to the vertical direction, but the number of support core materials 5 is is not limited to that of this embodiment. Further, in this embodiment, the support core material 5 has a plate-like and elongated shape, but it is not limited to this shape. Furthermore, regarding the manner in which the support core material 5 is attached, in this embodiment, a storage pocket 6 is provided on the inner surface (surface on the human body side) of the inner side surface portion 3a, and the support core material 5 is stored therein so as to be freely inserted and removed. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. Appropriate configurations can be adopted regarding the number and specific shape of the support core members 5, how to attach them to the support surface portion 3, and the like.

For example, a single large plate-like member may be used as the support core material 5. Further, the support core material 5 does not need to be configured to be detachably attached to the support surface section 3, and may be provided integrally with the support surface section 3. Furthermore, in the first place, a reinforcing member such as the support core material 5 may not be used, and the lumbar region may be supported only by the support surface portion 3. It is generally said that lower back pain is caused by weakening of the abdominal muscles, and even without using a reinforcing member such as the support core material 5, just applying the support surface part 3 to the lower back and tightening the waist belt is expected to provide sufficient support for the lower back. can do.

In this embodiment, a support core material 5 made of shape memory resin is used, but the support core material 5 is not limited to such a structure. It may be made of general synthetic resin, or may be made of a material other than synthetic resin. Furthermore, when using a shape memory material, it is not limited to a shape memory resin, and other shape memory materials such as a shape memory alloy may also be used.
