Abstract
Proposed are taping tights. On a front part of a lower body, each of first taping patterns laterally symmetrical to each other converges to a point at an inner distal end along the pelvis of a wearer, and extends to a rear part, with the inner distal end being terminated with a concave curved line. Each of second taping patterns provided on thigh portions includes an inclined line extending on the front part from an inner top end toward an outer bottom end. Each of third taping patterns provided on calf portions includes an arc extending on the front part from an outer top end of the calf portions to be curved inward and then outward and another arc extending on the rear part to be curved inward and then outward. Fourth taping patterns are provided laterally symmetrical from the third taping patterns with respect to the shank line, respectively.
Description
- The present invention relates to taping tights serving as sportswear or athletic underwear clinging to the skin and, more particularly, to taping tights having both a muscle protective function and a body shape correction function.
- Athletic taping is a sports medicine technique that has been widely used in order to protect the muscles of an athlete. A type of sportswear to which this technology is applied is taping tights. Taping tights are produced by coating the surface of clothing fabric with a predetermined pattern of a resin, such as silicone, along the texture of muscles or depending on a predetermined purpose, such as shoulder muscle protection, mobility improvement, or balance maintenance.
- As a technology for forming a taping pattern on clothing, Korean Patent No. 0228724 already proposed a pattern for protecting the joint and muscles of a shoulder. Korean Patent No. 0305598 proposed a hamstring protective pattern, and Korean Patent No. 0706631 proposed a knee protective pattern. However, since the uses of these patent technologies are mainly suitable to body shape correction underwear, it has been unsuitable to directly apply these technologies to sportswear.
- In addition, Korean Patent No. 0989829 and Korean Patent No. 1200852 proposed athletic taping tights as full body clothing for body shape correction and muscle support functions. However, due to specific purposes of these patents directly targeting taping tights dedicated to athletes, it has been difficult for the general public to easily, conveniently, and relatively inexpensively use these athletic taping tights.
- Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an objective of the present invention is to provide taping tights which may be easily worn by the general public who enjoy exercises, have a muscle protective function and a body shape correction function, and be worn as casual wear.
- In order to accomplish the above objective, provided are taping tights configured to be worn on a lower body and such that a front part and a rear part are connected to each other. The taping tights may include: first taping patterns laterally symmetrical to each other, wherein, on the front part, each of the first taping patterns has a predetermined width in a vertical direction on a pelvis portion, is gradually narrowed inward along the pelvis of a wearer to converge to a point at an inner distal end, and continuously extends inward from the predetermined width in the vertical direction on an outer portion of the front part to the rear part while being gradually spread in the vertical direction, with the inner distal end being terminated with a concave curved line along a hip line; second taping patterns provided on thigh portions, wherein each of the second taping patterns includes an inclined line extending on the front part from an inner top end toward an outer bottom end, the inner top end being directed toward the groin, and another inclined line continuously extending on the rear part from the outer bottom end on the front part to join the inner top end on the front part; third taping patterns provided on calf portions, wherein each of the third taping patterns includes an arc extending on the front part from an outer top end to a bottom end of a corresponding one of the calf portions to be curved inward and then outward and another arc continuously extending on the rear part from the bottom end to the top end of the arc to be curved inward and then outward such that a top end of the other arc joins the outer top end on the front part; and fourth taping patterns provided laterally symmetrical from the third taping patterns with respect to the shank line, respectively, wherein each of the fourth taping patterns includes an arc extending on the front part from an inner top end to a bottom end of the calf portion to be curved outward and then inward and another arc continuously extending on the rear part from the bottom end to the top end of the arc to be curved outward and then inward such that a top end of the other arc joins the inner top end on the front part.
- Here, the second taping patterns may include pairs of taping patterns each including upper and lower taping patterns provided on upper and lower portions of a corresponding one of the thigh portions.
- In addition, the taping tights may further include fifth taping patterns provided as seamless finishing patterns on finishing portions provided along finishing lines surrounding the ankles of the lower limbs, wherein each of the fifth taping patterns is provided along circumference of the finishing portion and has a predetermined width.
- Each of the first to fourth taping patterns may include a silicone resin printed on the taping tights and non-printed areas located in each of the taping patterns, the non-printed areas having a shape of a regular hexagon and being regularly distributed on a plane.
- In addition, the taping tights may be taping tights for men, and each of the first taping patterns may include an inner end joining a vertical boundary between a penis portion and a scrotum portion provided in an inner central portion of the front part.
- As described above, the taping tights according to the present disclosure may be easily worn by the general public who enjoy exercises, have a muscle protective function and a body shape correction function, and be worn as casual wear. Thus, these features may significantly contribute to the enlargement of the market of taping tights. The taping tights according to the present disclosure may be used in a variety of applications, such as sportswear, sports underwear, innerwear, leggings, gym wear, and gym clothing.

FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of the taping pattern used in the taping tights according to embodiments of the present disclosure; and -
FIGS. 8 to 13 are schematic views illustrating body muscle portions in which the taping tights according to embodiments of the present disclosure are functionally involved. - The motion of the human body a continuous center motion to maintain balance in the front and back direction, the lateral direction, and the vertical direction regardless of any action. This balancing of the human body during motion is referred to as the postural reflex mechanism.
- When the postural reflex mechanism is applied to clothing, any imbalance in the front and back direction, the lateral direction, or the vertical direction may be corrected to assist in balancing of the body. Accordingly, the human body may be naturally healed from diseases caused by imbalance.
- Specifically, the human body continuously has postural reflect against motion in order to maintain balanced posture in response to any motion. At this time, balancing of the human body occurs in the front and back direction, the lateral direction, and the vertical direction. In order to heal weakness of muscle strength, joint misalignment, or nervous system abnormality caused by postural imbalance, only taping main agonist muscles of each portion of the human body is sufficient to obtain a healing effect.
- The present disclosure is characterized by applying the above-described postural reflex mechanism to taping patterns. The present disclosure includes the following patterns configured to mainly complement matching muscles in order to balance flexion and extension, i.e., joint motion occurring in the front and rear sides of the body, and abduction and adduction, i.e., joint motion occurring in the right and left sides of the body.

FIGS. 1 to 3 are front, side, and rear viewsillustrating taping tights 10 for women according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Thetaping tights 10 are configured to be worn on the lower body and such that a front part F and a rear part R are connected to each other. - On the front part F,
first taping patterns 11 each having a predetermined width in the vertical direction are provided on pelvis portions, respectively. Each offirst taping patterns 11 is gradually narrowed inward along the pelvis of a wearer to converge to apoint 11 a at the inner distal end. Each offirst taping patterns 11 having the predetermined width W1 in the vertical direction on the outer portion of the front part F continuously extends inward to the rear part R while being gradually spread in the vertical direction. At the inner distal end, each offirst taping patterns 11 is terminated with a concavecurved line 11 b along the hip line. - The
first taping pattern 11 is a pattern designed according to the muscle flows of the human body. Thefirst taping pattern 11 is printed such that different areas thereof are applied to different body portions. Thefirst taping pattern 11 performs a body shape correction function of highlighting the curves of the pelvis and pressing the buttock along thehip line 11 b so that the buttock is supported to protrude. - In addition, as illustrated in
FIGS. 8 and 9 , thefirst taping pattern 11 assists in the motion ofgluteus medius 1 participating in the front-back, lateral, and vertical flexion in the buttock# and the motion ofgluteus maximus 2 participating in extension in response to the flexion. - The
first taping pattern 11 on the rear part F highlights the muscle line of the buttock# by thecurved line 11 b, thereby obtaining a butt lift effect, as described above. Consequently, the buttocks look more prominent and the beauty of the motion is improved. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 to 3 , in each ofsecond taping patterns 12 provided on thigh portions, an inclined line extends from aninner top end 12 a toward anouter bottom end 12 b, theinner top end 12 a being directed toward the groin, and another inclined line continuously extends on the rear part R from theouter bottom end 12 b on the front part F to join theinner top end 12 a on the front part. In particular, a lowersecond taping pattern 12′ may be provided on the thigh portion below thesecond taping pattern 12, thereby providing a pair of upper and lowersecond taping patterns FIGS. 10 and 11 , an effect of pressing a biceps femoris group 3 (e.g., biceps femoris, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus) participating in flexion in the thigh and a quadriceps muscle group 4 (e.g., rectus femoris, vastus intermedius, vastus medialis, and vastus lateralis) participating in extension in response to the flexion may be obtained to assist in blood circulation, thereby reducing fatigue. In addition, pressing the thigh muscles may obtain a beauty effect of slimming the thighs and highlighting the muscles. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 to 3 , in each ofthird taping patterns 13, an arc extends on the front part F from anouter top end 13 a to a bottom end of a calf portion to be curved inward and then outward, and another arc continuously extends on the rear part R from thebottom end 13 b to the top end of the arc to be curved inward and then outward such that the top end of the other arc joins theouter top end 13 a on the front part F. - In each of
fourth taping patterns 14, an arc extends on the front part F from aninner top end 14 a to a bottom end of the calf portion to be curved outward and then inward, and another arc continuously extends on the rear part R from thebottom end 14 b to the top end of the arc to be curved outward and then inward such that the top end of the other arc joins theinner top end 14 a on the front part F. - The
third taping pattern 13 and thefourth taping pattern 14 may be provided laterally symmetrical from each other with respect to the shank line. - The third and
fourth taping patterns - In addition, the pressing effect by the third and
fourth taping patterns anterior group 5 participating in flexion of the lower limb and triceps surae muscle 6 (e.g., Achilles tendon and soleus muscle) participating in extension in response to the flexion, as illustrated inFIGS. 12 and 13 . - In particular, as illustrated in
FIG. 3 , the effect of thethird taping patterns 13 and thefourth taping patterns 14 pressing the calves inward from both sides may assist in blood circulation in the calf muscles also referred to as the second heart. (This effect is also referred to as a tunnel effect.) Thus, the pumping effect of the calf muscles may be promoted. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 1 to 3 ,fifth taping patterns 15 are provided as seamless finishing patterns on finishing portions provided along finishing lines E surrounding the ankles of the lower limbs. Each of thefifth taping patterns 15 is formed along the circumference of the finishing portion made of single clothing fabric, and has a predetermined width W2 in the vertical direction. Thefifth taping pattern 15 may replace conventional fold finishing, i.e., seam processing. As a characteristic feature, finishing processing may be provided by the single clothing fabric itself. In addition, the length of the taping tights may be adjusted to the height of the wearer by the wearer him/herself by cutting suitable portions of the fifth taping patterns within the width W2 depending on the height. - The
fifth taping patterns 15 serve to hold the hems of the taping tights so as not to be dragged up toward the thighs during knee bending motion, thereby guaranteeing the activity of the wearer. -
FIGS. 4 to 6 illustrate tapingtights 20 for men according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Patterns of the tapingtights 20 for men are substantially the same as those of the tapingtights 10 for women and thus descriptions thereof will be omitted. - In
FIG. 4 , thefirst taping patterns 21 are configured such that inner ends 21 a thereof join a boundary L between apenis portion 26 and ascrotum portion 27 provided in the inner central portion. Thus, thefirst taping patterns 21 serve to pull the boundary L outward to help the penis and the scrotum be separated from each other. Consequently, the penis and the scrotum may remain separated from each other even during intense sports activities. -
FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of a pattern shape used in the above-described patterns. A pattern P formed by printing a silicone resin on the surface ofclothing fabric 10 a includes non-printed areas N having the shape of a regular hexagon, the non-printed areas N being regularly distributed on a plane. Accordingly, moisture discharge performance and permeability, as well as improved elasticity, may be obtained.
