Description

Compressed clothing incorporating far infrared (FIR) emission particles

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

Compression garments provide support for wearers with poor blood circulation. For example, compression garments worn on the legs can help prevent deep vein thrombosis and reduce swelling. In order 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 when worn for long periods of time. In addition, in order to achieve a compression effect on the target area, some compression garments may require additional wearing assistance, which may cause inconvenience for some wearers. The present invention provides an improved garment that solves the above-mentioned disadvantages. Advantageously, the present invention incorporates FIR emission particles into clothing to enhance the wearer's circulation.

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

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

Another object of the present invention is to provide a compressed garment incorporating FIR emission particles to enhance the wearer's blood circulation.

The present invention fully or partially satisfies at least one of the foregoing objectives, wherein one of the embodiments of the present invention is a compressed garment with embedded far-infrared (FIR) emission particles, including at least two different areas, each area It is suitable to surround and achieve a compression effect on the user's target body area when wearing, one of the areas can achieve a compression effect on the target area within the first pressure range, and the other area can be different from the first pressure range In the second pressure range, the compression effect is achieved on another target area.

Figure 3 is a side view of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention with marked pressurized areas.

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

Illustrative but not restrictive embodiments of the present invention will be disclosed herein. It should be understood, however, that the description is limited to the preferred embodiments of the present invention only to facilitate discussion of the present invention, and It is foreseeable that those skilled in the art can make various modifications without departing from the scope of the appended claims.

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

In a preferred embodiment, the trousers 100 are made of a 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 nylon and 10 to 15% by weight polyurethane. In addition, nylon contains 40 to 45% of FIR emission particles impregnated therein. The FIR emission particles may be selected from zirconium oxide, titanium, silicon dioxide, or a combination of any two or more thereof. A known exemplary material with the trade name Kodenshi® can be used, but is not limited to this. The fabric can also be further mixed with additives such as anti-odor agents and anti-bacterial agents. Since FIR emission particles increase the body temperature of the wearer, the use of the above-mentioned fabric enhances body fluid circulation. In giving the fabric a compression feature, 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. It is also possible to use an additional layer of fabric to form a pressurized area on the trousers. More specifically, the additional fabric used has a relatively small size or circumference, thereby creating a firmness or "push-in" effect when worn. Or, some parts of the pants (for example, the waist and abdomen area) are thicker, which creates a "wrinkle" effect when worn.

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

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

More specifically, the upper compression zone 200 includes an upper thigh zone 201 and a middle thigh zone 202. Preferably, the upper compression zone 200 has a compression level of 8 to 11 mmHg (11 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 201 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 201 is between 3.0 and 6.5 cm. In addition, the mid-thigh region 202 has a compression belt PB2 that extends across the outer side of the upper thigh region 201 to the inner side 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 pressurizing area at the upper pressurizing zone 200 presents a "Z" shape.

3, the lower compression area 300 includes a calf area 301, an upper ankle area 302, and an ankle area 303. Preferably, the lower pressure zone 300 has a compression level of 9.7 to 21 mmHg (13 to 28 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 area having a compression level from 7.5 to 10.5 mmHg (10 to 14 hpa). The compression at the middle 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 a waist region 500, a pelvic region 600, and a crotch region 700. Preferably, these areas are configured as thicker fabrics to produce a "wrinkle" effect. More specifically, the waist region 500 is entirely surrounded by a compression belt with a width of 5.0 to 6.0 cm.

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

The present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the basic characteristics of the present invention. The described embodiments are to be considered only illustrative in all respects 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.
