Description

Compressed clothing incorporating far infrared (FIR) emission particles

The present invention relates generally to a garment with enhanced shape, and in particular to a compressed garment incorporating far-infrared (FIR) emission particles.

Compression garments provide support for wearers with poor blood circulation. For example, compression clothing worn on the legs can help prevent deep vein thrombosis and reduce swelling. To support the body, many compression garments need to be worn for a long time. However, compression garments are usually made of thick and rough fabrics, which may cause discomfort or skin irritation if worn for a long time. In addition, in order to achieve a compression effect on the target area, some compression clothing may require additional wearing assistance, which may cause inconvenience for some wearers. The present invention provides an improved garment that solves the aforementioned disadvantages. Advantageously, the present invention incorporates FIR emission particles into the garment to enhance the wearer's circulation.

An object of the present invention is to provide a compression garment with a pressurized area for enhancing the body shape of a target area.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a compression garment that is tight-fitting and easy to wear.

In another embodiment, the other pressure range of the intermediate region is lower than the pressure range of any other region.

In one embodiment, the compression garment is a pair of pants (100) with embedded far-infrared (FIR) emission particles. The pants include at least two different areas, each area is suitable for surrounding and realizing the use when wearing The compression effect of the leg of the person includes: the upper compression zone (200); and the lower compression zone (300), wherein the lower compression zone (300) has a higher pressure than the upper compression zone (200).

In another embodiment, the compression garment is a pair of pants (100) with embedded far-infrared (FIR) emission particles. The pants include at least two different regions, each region is suitable for surrounding and realizing The compression effect of the user's legs, including: upper compression zone (200); lower compression zone (300); and intermediate compression zone (400), where the pressure in the lower compression zone (300) is higher than the upper compression The pressure in the zone (200), while the pressure in the intermediate pressurization zone (400) is lower than the pressure in the upper or lower pressurization zone.

In both of these embodiments, the compression garment is configured with a diamond-shaped weave pattern.

In these two examples, the compressed garment is made from a polymer blend containing nylon, polyurethane, and far infrared (FIR) emission particles impregnated therein.

Preferably, the polymer blend includes 85 to 90% by weight nylon and 10 to 15% by weight polyurethane.

More specifically, nylon includes 40 to 45% far-infrared (FIR) emission particles impregnated therein.

Preferably, the far-infrared (FIR) emission particles are zirconia, titanium, silica, or a combination of any two or more thereof.

The invention relates to a compression garment for limbs (for example, pants, sleeves, etc.). More specifically, this garment is designed to improve body fluid circulation, mobility support, and also provide body shaping functions.

Exemplary and non-limiting embodiments of the present invention will be disclosed here. It should be understood, however, that the description is limited to the preferred embodiments of the invention only to facilitate discussion of the invention, and it is foreseen that those skilled in the art can make it without departing from the scope of the appended claims Various modifications.

According to FIG. 1, the compression garment is a pair of pants 100 that fits tightly from the waist to the ankle and shows a sense of compression on the wearer's skin.

In a preferred embodiment, the pants 100 are made of breathable, stretchable fabric with thermal insulation properties. Preferably, the fabric is made of a polymer blend containing nylon, polyurethane and far-infrared (FIR) emission particles impregnated therein. More specifically, the polymer blend contains 85 to 90% by weight of nylon and 10 to 15% by weight of polyurethane. In addition, nylon contains 40 to 45% of FIR emission particles impregnated therein. The FIR emission particles may be selected from zirconia, titanium, silica, or any combination of two or more thereof. Known exemplary materials under the trade name Kodenshi® may be used, but are not limited thereto. The fabric may be further blended with additives such as deodorants and antibacterial agents. Since the FIR emission particles increase the wearer's body temperature, the use of the above fabric enhances the circulation of body fluids. In giving this fabric compression characteristics, the pants 100 provide body support and shaping functions.

In addition to the inherent stretchability of the material, weaving technology also plays a vital role in enhancing breathability and stretchability to make it easier for the wearer to perform daily activities. In the present invention, a fabric having a diamond-shaped weave pattern is preferably used. An additional fabric layer can also be used to form a compression area on the pants. More specifically, the additional fabric used has a relatively small size or perimeter, resulting in a firmness or "push-in" effect when worn. Or, some parts of the trousers (for example, waist and abdomen areas) are thicker and will produce a "fold" effect when worn.

As described above, the pants 100 are formed by joining fabric pieces belonging to different body parts, which include limb parts (left and right), waist parts, pelvic parts (left and right), crotch parts and Hips (left and right). The pressurized area is selectively disposed on the above-mentioned sheet portion to support muscle movement and maintain the shape of the body. More specifically, each sheet portion may be configured with one or more pressurized areas, and the pressurized area has one or more combined types of patterns, such as rectangular, "Z" shaped, "X" shaped, "V" shaped Or more.

According to FIG. 3, the pants 100 includes an upper compression zone 200 and a lower compression zone 300, where the lower compression zone 300 has a higher pressure than the upper compression zone 200. As shown by the arrows in Figure 3, this configuration provides compression and "push-up" effects. Advantageously, the trousers 100 further include an intermediate compression zone 400, wherein the pressure of the intermediate compression zone 400 is lower than any of the upper compression zone 200 and the lower compression zone 300. This configuration provides unimpeded mobility in the knee area.

More specifically, the upper compression region 200 includes an upper thigh region 201 and a middle thigh region 202. Preferably, the upper pressurizing zone 200 has a compression level of 9 to 11 mmHg (12 to 15 hpa). More specifically, the upper thigh region 201 has a compression level of 8 to 11 mmHg (11 to 15 hpa), and the middle thigh region 202 has a compression level of 8 to 11 mmHg (11 to 15 hpa). As shown in FIG. 1, the upper thigh region 202 has a compression belt PB1 extending from the crotch region 700 to the outside of the thigh region. More specifically, the width of the compression belt PB1 at the upper thigh region 202 is between 3.0 and 6.5 cm. In addition, the mid-thigh region 202 has a compression belt PB2 that extends across the outside of the upper thigh region 202 to the inside of the thigh region. More specifically, the width of the pressure belt PB2 at the mid-thigh region 202 is between 3.0 and 4.5 cm. In view of the above and with further reference to FIG. 1, the pressurized area at the upper pressurized area 200 exhibits a “Z” shape.

Referring to FIG. 3, the lower compression area 300 includes a calf area 301, an upper ankle area 302, and an ankle area 303. Preferably, the lower pressurizing zone 300 has a compression level of 13.50 to 16.50 mmHg (18 to 22 hpa). More specifically, the calf area 301 has a compression level from 9.7 to 12.7 mmHg (13 to 17 hpa), the upper ankle area 302 has a compression level from 15.7 to 18.7 mmHg (21 to 25 hpa), and the ankle area 303 has a compression level from 18 to 21 mmHg ( 24 to 28hpa) compression level.

The intermediate compression zone 400 refers to a knee region having a compression level from 7.5 to 10.5 mmHg (10 to 14 hpa). The compression at the intermediate compression zone 400 provides unimpeded mobility, while the upper compression zone 200 and the lower compression zone 300 provide a compression effect for the wearer's legs.

In a preferred embodiment, there are also a waist region 500, a pelvic region 600, and a crotch region 700. Preferably, these areas are configured as a thicker fabric to produce a "pleating" effect. More specifically, the waist region 500 is entirely surrounded by a compression belt having a width of 5.0 to 6.0 cm.

In another preferred embodiment, the compression garment also includes a lower hip region 800 on the back. The lower hip region 800 is configured to have a thinner fabric than the adjacent upper compression region 200, thereby creating a "push-up" effect in the hip region when worn.

The present invention may be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the basic characteristics of the present invention. The described embodiments are considered in all respects to be illustrative and not restrictive. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is indicated by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and all changes falling within the equivalent meaning and scope of the claims should be included in the scope thereof.
