Description

This application claims the benefit of Taiwan application Serial No. 103144029, filed Dec. 17, 2014, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates in general to a lifting resilient garment, and more particularly to a lifting resilient garment and a method for adjusting the same. The lifting resilient garment is easy to be put on or taken off, and once the lifting resilient garment is put on, the lifting resilient garment provides a taping effect to lift the muscle.

BACKGROUND

As people nowadays are getting more and more aware of their health, more and more people are doing exercise to strengthen their body and energy. The exercisers are more and more aware of the equipment and auxiliary devices related to the safety of exercises to maintain or protect their health during exercises.
During exercises, particularly the time-consuming endurance exercises, the exercisers need to check muscle stabilization. The exercisers normally wear tights or pressurized tights to improve their performance and help with post-sport recovery. The tights or pressurized tights not only stabilize the muscle but further avoid thigh friction, promote perspiration and keep the exercisers' body warm. The currently available tights provide a great tightening effect, but take more time to put on. Due to the wearing inconvenience, some users choose to give up.
Meanwhile, other products, such as kinesio tape, are provided to benefit the muscle and increase the effect of exercises. The kinesio tape uses a special adhesive and has a wave pattern. When the kinesio tape is taped on the skin, the skin will be pulled and contracted, a taping effect is created to contract and lift the muscle. In practical use, the kinesio tape must follow muscle texture so as to fully bring out its effect. The kinesio tape can only last for 2-3 days. The effect of the tape will be decreased each time the user sweats after exercises.

SUMMARY

The disclosure is directed to a lifting resilient garment, which can be put on or taken off through the design of the zip-fastening device. After the zip-fastening device is zipped up, a lifting force is provided for taping the trouser on the muscle tissue, such that the resilient garment will have tightening, covering, lifting and stabilizing effect.
According to one embodiment, a lifting resilient garment is provided. The lifting resilient garment at least comprises a pair of trousers and the zip-fastening devices disposed on the trousers. The lifting resilient garment is formed of at least one elastic material. When the zip-fastening device is zipped up, the trouser is tightened and a first cross-sectional area (A1) of the trouser is created consequently. When the zip-fastening device is zipped down, a second cross-sectional area (A2) of the trouser is created consequently. The first cross-sectional area is smaller than the second cross-sectional area.
According to another embodiment, a method for adjusting lifting resilient garment is provided. The lifting resilient garment at least comprises a pair of trousers and the zip-fastening devices disposed on the trousers. The method comprises:
zipping up the zip-fastening device to tighten the trouser and create a first cross-sectional area (A1) of the trouser, wherein the tightened trouser applies a lifting force to the muscle along a vertical direction of the zip-fastening device to help the muscle contract and accordingly achieves a taping effect;
zipping down the zip-fastening device to loosen the trouser and create a second cross-sectional area (A2) of the trouser, wherein the first cross-sectional area is smaller than the second cross-sectional area.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

A lifting resilient garment disclosed in the embodiments of the disclosure is described below with reference to accompanying drawings. Anyone who is skilled in the technology filed of the disclosure can implement the lifting resilient garment based on the disclosed descriptions. The inventive concepts of the disclosure can be implemented in different modes, and are not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Moreover, to more clearly elaborate the embodiments of the disclosure, some generally-know descriptions are omitted in the specification, and common reference numerals are used throughout the drawings and the detailed description to indicate the same elements.
Disclosed in the embodiments of the disclosure is a lifting resilient garment, which changes the tightening degree of the trousers when the wearer wants to wear the lifting resilient garment and restores the tightening effect of the trousers once the lifting resilient garment is worn on the wearer. The resilient garment is formed of at least one elastic material. The lifting resilient garment has zip-fastening devices (such as sewed on the trousers) disposed on the lifting resilient garment. When the zip-fastening device disposed on the lifting resilient garment is zipped up, the overall tightening effect is enhanced, and the cloth is taped on the muscle tissues of the wearer's skin surface. Meanwhile, the zip-fastening device disposed on another block additionally enhances the taping effect, such that the muscle can be lifted.
Refer to FIG. 1A-FIG. 1C and FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B. FIG. 1A illustrates the state of a trouser of a lifting resilient garment before the zip-fastening device is zipped up according to an embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 1B illustrates the tightened state of a trouser of a lifting resilient garment after the zip-fastening device is zipped up according to an embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 1C illustrates how the cross-sectional area of a trouser of a lifting resilient garment varies with the state of the zip-fastening device according to an embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 2A illustrates the loosened state of the muscles before the zip-fastening device of the lifting resilient garment is zipped up according to an embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 2B illustrates the stable state of the tightened muscle after the zip-fastening device of the lifting resilient garment is zipped up according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
In an embodiment, a lifting resilient garment at least comprises trousers P and zip-fastening devices 2 disposed on the trousers P. The resilient garment is formed of at least one elastic material. When the zip-fastening device 2 is zipped up, each trouser P is tightened and becomes the trouser state (the trouser P′) as indicated in FIG. 1B, Meanwhile, the wearer's muscle M′, affected by of the tightening effect of the trouser P, contracts and becomes stabilized. When the zip-fastening device 2 is zipped down, the trouser P′ becomes the trouser state (the trouser P) as indicated in FIG. 1A. Meanwhile, the wearer's muscle M is loosened. Refer to FIG. 1C. The cross-sectional area of the trouser varies with the tightened or loosened state of the zip-fastening device 2. As indicated in FIG. 1B, when the zip-fastening device 2 is zipped up, the trouser is tightened and a first cross-sectional area A1 of the trouser P′ is created. As indicated in FIG. 1C, when the zip-fastening device 2 is zipped down, a second cross-sectional area A2 of the trouser P is created. The first cross-sectional area A1 is smaller than the second cross-sectional area A2.
According to the lifting resilient garment of an embodiment, when the zip-fastening device 2 is not used, the resilient garment body can be easily put on and taken off, the muscle is in a loosened state (as indicated in FIG. 2A), and the trouser P completely covers the muscle M. After the zip-fastening device 2 is zipped up and the trouser becomes tightened, the resilient garment body generates a tightening effect, which makes the cross-sectional area of the resilient garment body (the diameter of the cross-sectional area) reduced. As indicated in FIG. 1C, the second cross-sectional area A2 is reduced to the first cross-sectional area A1. Under such circumstance, the tightening effect of the resilient garment is enhanced and the wearer's muscle is stabilized (as indicated in FIG. 2B).
According to the lifting resilient garment of an embodiment, after the user puts on the resilient garment, the zip-fastening device can be used to increase the tightening degree. After the zip-fastening device is zipped to a suitable position, the zip-fastening device will provide a stabilizing force to the muscle. Under such circumstance, the wearer's skin taped by the tightened resilient garment will generate a taping effect. When the wearer wants to take off the resilient garment, the wear can zipper down the zip-fastening device to release the tightening effect off the resilient garment body the resilient garment so that the resilient garment can be easily taken off. Therefore, the lifting resilient garment with zip-fastening device can resolve the difficulty in putting on or taking off the tights currently available in the market. The zip-fastening device can be disposed on the trouser body or the trouser leg to provide a taping effect and lift the muscle.
In an embodiment, the zip-fastening device 2 can be realized by a zipper sewed on the trouser. When the zipper is in an opened state, the resilient garment can be easily put on and taken off, and the trouser P completely covers the muscle. When the zipper is in a tightened state, the tightening effect of the resilient garment is enhanced.
Refer to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B and FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B. In an embodiment, the zip-fastening device 2 at least comprises a first chain 21, a second chain 22 and an engaging portion. As known in the people skilled in the art, an engaging portion comprises a retaining box 210 at a bottom of the first chain 21, a slider (with pull-tab) 23 movably attached to the first chain 21, and an insert pin 220 at a bottom of the second chain 22. The slider 23 is held to move up or down to join (engage) or separate (disengage) the teeth of the first chain 21 and the second chain 22. After the insert pin 220 is inserted into the retaining box 210, the slider 23 is moved up to engage the teeth of the first chain 21 and the second chain 22, and the zipper is closed (FIG. 2B). When the slider 23 is moved down to separate the teeth of the first chain 21 and the second chain 22, the zipper is opened. Moreover, the zip-fastening device 2 may comprise a plurality of chains disposed at intervals for being selectively engaged with the first chain 21, such as the second chain 221 with an insert pin 2201 and the third chain 222 with an insert pin 2202, as shown in FIG. 2A. Noted that the zip-fastening device 2 may comprise more than two chains for being selectively engaged with the first chain 21. The first chain 21 can be engaged with or disengaged from one of those chains by the teeth of the chains. Disposition of a plurality of chains such as the second chain 221 and the third chain 222 (or more) enables the trouser P to generate different tightening and deformation degrees, such that the tightening degree of the resilient garment of the embodiment can be determined and adjusted to different stages by the wearer. Also, disposition of the second chain 221 and the third chain 222 (or more) enables the trouser P to fit a wider range of body sizes. Accordingly, the design of the trouser P of the embodiment provides a wider application for being wore by users in different sizes or the same user in changing appearance (i.e. loose weight or gain weight).
Moreover, in an embodiment, when the zip-fastening device 2 is zipped down, the first chain 21 and the second chain 22 disposed on the trouser P can be completely separated from each other. That is, the slider 23 of the engaging portion is positioned at the bottom of the first chain 21 but the first chain 21 is not engaged with the second chain 22, such that no zip-fastening device 2 is engaged at the bottom of the trouser.
In an embodiment, before the first chain 21 and the second chain 22 disposed on the trouser P are engaged with each other, an original space between the first chain 21 and the second chain 22 has a width W as indicated in FIG. 1A. After the first chain 21 and the second chain 22 are engaged with each other, the space between the first chain 21 and the second chain 22 decreases such as a width W′ as indicated in FIG. 1B. The width W, corresponding to the unengaged condition of the first chain 21 and the second chain 22, can be a fixed value or a width variation, which can be adjusted or modified according to actual needs. In one embodiment with only one second chain 22, if the original space between the first chain 21 and the second chain 22 (i.e. corresponding to the unengaged condition) is designed to have a width variation, different portions of the trouser P would generate different tightening degrees when the first chain 21 and the second chain 22 are engaged with each other and become tightened. Take a long-trouser type lifting resilient garment of an embodiment for example. Each trouser P comprises a thigh section, a knee section and a calf section. If the first chain 21 and the second chain 22 disposed on the trouser have a second width corresponding to the thigh section and a first width corresponding to the calf section before the first chain 21 and the second chain 22 are engaged with each other, then the first width is larger than the second width. That is, the trouser body corresponding to the calf section can be further contracted. Moreover, before the first chain 21 and the second chain 22 are engaged with each other, the width of a particular portion of the trouser P, such as the thigh section or the calf section, also varies. For example, the width corresponding to the calf section shrinks towards the knee section from the bottom of the calf section.
The trouser P used in the disclosure can have different lengths, such as 10 tenths length (i.e. full length), 9 tenths length, 8 tenths length, 7 tenths length, 6 tenths length, 5 tenths length, 4 tenths length or other lengths of the sport tights available in the market, and the disclosure does not have specific restrictions regarding the length of the trouser.
A number of embodiments and accompanying drawings are disclosed below to elaborate the implementation of the zip-fastening device of the disclosure and the applications of the zip-fastening device in cooperation with a composite material cloth. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto. The disclosure does not illustrate all possible implementations, and detailed structures of the implementations may have slight differences, and can be adjusted or modified according to actual needs provided that the spirit and scope of the disclosure are not breached. For example, the positions of the zip-fastening device can be selectively adjusted according to the lengths of the trouser used in actual applications, and are applicable to other implementations not disclosed in the disclosure. In addition, the shapes, sizes and scales of elements are not based on actual dimensions of the products, and the descriptions of the specification and drawings are for elaborating the embodiments, not for limiting the scope of protection of the disclosure.
<Style I of the Zip-Fastening Device>
According to style I of the zip-fastening device used in an embodiment, each trouser of the lifting resilient garment at least comprises a thigh section, and each zip-fastening device 2 is disposed along the outer side of the thigh section. Let a long-trouser type lifting resilient garment (such as a 10 tenths length trouser) be taken for example. Each trouser P comprises a thigh section P1, a knee section P2 and a calf section P3. FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B respectively illustrate a front view and a rear view of a lifting resilient garment using style I of the zip-fastening device according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The zip-fastening device 2 is disposed along the outer sides of the thigh section P1, the knee section P2 and the calf section P3. The zip-fastening device 2 is zipped upwards from the bottom of the trouser (for example, after the first chain 21 and the second chain 22 are engaged with each other through the slider 23 of the engaging portion, the slider 23 is pulled upwards from the bottom of the trouser and makes the trouser tightened and deformed). The thigh section P1, the knee section P2 and the calf section P3 of the trouser P are tightened by the zip-fastening device 2 and the trouser is deformed accordingly, such that the surroundings of wearer's thigh, knee and calf are tightly wrapped and lifted in one single direction (such as a lifting force along a vertical direction of the zip-fastening device 2) to help to contract the muscles and achieve a taping effect. Therefore, when the resilient garment using style I of the zip-fastening device is in a tightened state, the slider 23 of the engaging portion is positioned on the thigh section P1. In another embodiment, the slider 23 of the engaging portion is pulled downwards from the top of the trouser to make the trouser tightened and deformed. The disclosure does not have specific restrictions regarding the pulling direction of the slider 23.
FIG. 3C is a side view of a lifting resilient garment using style I of the zip-fastening device according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 2A and disclosed descriptions of relevant elements. According to style I, the zip-fastening device 2 of the lifting resilient garment may further have width variation of engagement. As indicated in FIG. 3C, the long-trouser type trouser P comprises a thigh section P1, a knee section P2 and a calf section P3. Before the first chain 21 and the second chain 22 disposed on the trouser are engaged with each other, the first chain 21 and the second chain 22 have a first width W1 corresponding to the calf section P3 and a second width W2 corresponding to the thigh section P1. The first width W1 is larger than the second width W2. That is, That is, the trouser body corresponding to the calf section has a higher tightening degree. Also, the first width W1 and the second width W2 can selectively have width variation.
It should be noted that the zip-fastening device is not limited to be disposed on the outer side of the trouser. In many implementations of the disclosure, the zip-fastening device can be disposed on the thigh section P1 of the trouser P and at least passes through the inner side, the front side and the outer side of the thigh section P1 (the inner side→the front side→the outer side; or the outer side→the front side→the inner side), such that the cross-sectional area of the trouser increases or decreases as the zip-fastening device is zipped down or zipped up.
<Style II of the Zip-Fastening Device>
FIGS. 4A and 4B respectively illustrate a front view and a rear view of a lifting resilient garment using style II of the zip-fastening device according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Style II is also exemplified by a long-trouser type lifting resilient garment. Each trouser P comprises a thigh section P1, a knee section P2 and a calf section P3. According to style II, the zip-fastening device further comprises a zip-fastening device 2-2 in addition to the zip-fastening device 2-1 disposed on the outer side of the trouser according to style I.
According to style II of the zip-fastening device used in an embodiment, the zip-fastening device 2-2 is distributed on the thigh section P1 of the trouser P and extends downwards from the outer side P1-o of the thigh section P1 and passes through the front side P1-f of the thigh section P1 to reach the inner side P1-i. The zip-fastening device 2-2 is pulled in an upward direction. Therefore, when the resilient garment is in a tightened state, the slider of the engaging portion of the zip-fastening device 2-2 is also positioned on the thigh section P1 (that is, the outer side P1-o). According to style II, the zip-fastening devices 2-1 and 2-2 generate a tightening effect which makes the surroundings of wearer's thigh, knee and calf tightly wrapped and lifted in one single direction (such as a lifting force along a vertical direction of the zip-fastening devices 2-1 and 2-2) to help to contract the muscles and achieve a taping effect.
<Style III of the Zip-Fastening Device>
FIGS. 5A and 5B respectively illustrate a front view and a rear view of a lifting resilient garment using style III of the zip-fastening device according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Style III is also exemplified by a long-trouser type lifting resilient garment. According to style III, a zip-fastening device 2-3 is distributed on the thigh section P1, the knee section P2 and the calf section P3 of the trouser P.
According to style III of the zip-fastening device used in an embodiment, the zip-fastening device 2-3 extends downwards to the inner side P1-i from the outer side P1-o of the thigh section P1, passes through the front side P1-f of the thigh section P1 and further extends downwards along the inner side P3-i of the calf section P3. The zip-fastening device 2-3 is pulled in an upward direction. Therefore, when the resilient garment is in a tightened state, the slider of the engaging portion of the zip-fastening device 2-3 is also positioned on the thigh section P1 (that is, the outer side P1-o). According to style III, the zip-fastening device 2-3 generates a tightening effect which makes the surroundings of wearer's thigh, knee and calf tightly wrapped and lifted in one single direction (such as a lifting force along a vertical direction of the zip-fastening device 2-3) to help to contract the muscles and achieve a taping effect. In another embodiment, the zip-fastening device 2-3 can also be pulled in an upward direction for enabling the resilient garment to reach a tightened state. The disclosure does not have specific restrictions regarding the pulling direction of the zip-fastening device 2-3.
<Style IV of the Zip-Fastening Device>
FIGS. 6A and 6B respectively illustrate a front view and a rear view of a lifting resilient garment using style IV of the zip-fastening device according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Style IV is also exemplified by a long-trouser type lifting resilient garment. According to style IV, a zip-fastening device 2-4 is distributed on the thigh section P1, the knee section P2 and the calf section P3 of the trouser P.
