Definitions
- the present invention relates to clothes having a waist portion, more specifically clothes in which a condition for allowing the same mechanism to work as that adjusting the shape of the wearer's abdomen after childbirth is adopted.
- PTL1 has proposed the girdle that is capable of pulling up the lower abdomen obliquely upwardly by contractile force obliquely upward on stretchable abdomen lining fabrics 21 and 22 sewn to a stretchable clothing body top fabric when putting on and keeping this status by a stronger pressing force after putting on so as to adjust and maintain the shape of the abdomen to look beautiful.
- an object of the present invention is to provide clothes that are capable of adjusting the body shape itself with wearing of the clothes without a strong pressing force to the abdomen and further modifying the body shape itself gradually.
- clothes having a waist portion of the present invention provided with a body front side fabric consisting of a single ply piece of waist front side fabric 1 and a single ply piece of abdomen fabric 3 and a body back side fabric consisting of a single ply piece of waist back side fabric 2 and a single ply piece of lower back fabric 4 , includes a function in which the horizontal contraction distance of the body front side fabric is longer than that of the body back side fabric, with wearing of the clothes.
- the clothes further include a crotch fabric 12 .
- the clothes further include a buttock fabric 5 .
- the clothes further include a gluteus action portion 10 in a portion of the buttock fabric 5 that corresponds to a gluteus region of a human body, and the gluteus action portion 10 includes a function in which the horizontal contraction distance is shorter than that of the buttock fabric 5 based on the same width, with wearing of the clothes.
- the clothes further include a part or all of an upper body fabric. Any of these clothes is preferable.
- body shape adjustment mechanism a condition for allowing the same mechanism to work as that adjusting the shape of the abdomen after childbirth
- body shape adjustment mechanism a condition for allowing the same mechanism to work as that adjusting the shape of the abdomen after childbirth
- the present invention can provide clothes having a function to loose abdominal skin, wrinkle the abdomen lightly with wearing of the clothes, and adjust the shape of the wearer's abdomen fundamentally from continuous daily use (or a function to use physiological effect for correcting the body shape itself).
- a condition for allowing the body shape adjustment mechanism to work in not only the abdomen but also the waist and the buttock can be adopted as a function.

- the present inventors have made efforts to study and found that the loose abdomen is closely related to a physical force applied to abdominal skin.
- Skin has physiological properties that stretch skin when a continuous extensional force (hereinafter referred to as “continuous extensional load”) is applied but not causing pain and otherwise shrink skin when the continuous extensional load decreases.
- Fetal weight increases inside the body of pregnant women during pregnancy.
- the increasing of the fetal weight causes a continuous extensional load from the inside of the body to the abdominal skin of pregnant women.
- abdominal skin is stretched according to physiological properties that stretch skin when a continuous extensional load is applied, and the abdomen is expanded.
- abdominal skin is still expanded and noticeably loosened.
- the continuous extensional load caused by fetal influence disappears at this time. Then, abdominal skin is shrunk over time according to the physiological properties of skin that shrink it when a continuous extensional load decreases, and the shape of the abdomen is adjusted to that before pregnancy.
- the abdomen is temporarily loosened after childbirth.
- the shape of the abdomen is adjusted over time since the continuous extensional load applied to abdominal skin is decreased.
- This is a mechanism to adjust the shape of the abdomen after childbirth.
- the use of the body shape adjustment mechanism similar to this mechanism makes it possible to adjust the body shape fundamentally including abdominal expansion at the time other than pregnancy and the loosened abdomen other than after childbirth.
- the decrease of the continuous extensional load applied to abdominal skin is an essential condition.
- Another example of a means for adjusting the body shape is orthodontics, which does not use a strong physical pressing force but the physiological properties of bones (osteoclast and osteoblast) that are caused by continuous load applied but not causing pain.
- a means for loosening abdominal skin from horizontal direction, wrinkling the abdomen lightly and decreasing the continuous extensional load to abdominal skin is effective.
- the body shape adjustment mechanism works so that the shape of the abdomen can be adjusted without strongly pressing the muscle of the abdomen or internal organs from continuous daily use, regardless of age or sex. From this viewpoint, in conventional clothes, it is obvious that the continuous extensional load to abdominal skin is not considered.
- the present inventors have selected a stretchable fabric that is capable of conforming with the increasing and decreasing of the abdominal girth in accordance with abdominal breathing and the like without strongly pressing the abdomen or excessively tightening the waist, so as not to cause the wearer feel discomfort and pain.
- the present inventors conceive clothes created by selecting additional fabrics and combining the selected fabrics. Specifically, test pieces are cut from the selected fabrics respectively, a predetermined force is applied to the test pieces, and the extending length of each test piece is measured. Then, the lengths (hereinafter referred to as “contraction distance”) are determined each by subtracting the original lengths of the test pieces before their extension from these measured extending lengths respectively, and the fabrics with different contraction distances are combined.
- Action is caused by the combination of the fabrics with different contraction distances or by the difference in the contraction distance at each portion of the clothes (, which means that in the case in which the clothes stretches by a constant force when putting on, portions with a long contraction distance extends longer than those with a short contraction distance, in other words, the portion with the longest contraction distance shrinks most with wearing of clothes.)
- the present inventors have found that a means for allowing the body shape adjustment mechanism to work can be adopted to clothes as a function and that the present invention can provide clothes having a function to loose abdominal skin, wrinkle the abdomen lightly, and adjust the shape of the wearer's abdomen fundamentally from continuous daily use, so as to complete the present invention.
- the present invention is basically provided with a function in which the horizontal contraction distance of the body front side fabric making up the clothes having a waist portion is longer than that of the body back side fabric, with wearing of the clothes.
- the belly band according to the first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is provided with a body front side fabric consisting of the waist front side fabric 1 and the abdomen fabric 3 ; and a body back side fabric consisting of the waist back side fabric 2 and the lower back fabric 4 .
- the clothes are provided with a function in which the horizontal contraction distance of the body front side fabric is longer than that of the body back side fabric, with wearing of the clothes.
- the proper size is determined moderately shorter than the actual abdominal girth of the wearer. Accordingly, wearers select their proper size and stretch the clothes when putting them on. This causes friction between the clothes and the wearer's skin.
- the difference in which the horizontal contraction distance of the body front side fabric close to the abdomen is longer than that of the body back side fabric close to the lower back, with wearing of the clothes, is provided. Accordingly, the degree of the contraction distance with wearing of the clothes is maximized in the body front side fabric close to the abdomen, so that a function to loose abdominal skin more than lower back skin in horizontal direction and wrinkle the abdomen lightly can be provided.
- the present invention can provide clothes having a function to loose abdominal skin, wrinkle the abdomen lightly, and adjust the shape of the wearer's abdomen fundamentally from continuous daily use.
