Description

Description A KNITTING AND INNER WEAR

Technical Field

[1] The present invention relates, in general, to knit fabric and inner wear, and more particularly, to inner wear that is used for girdles, bodysuits, swimwear, tights, etc. for correcting the shape of a wearer in a state of being in close contact with the body, which includes massage regions raised discontinuously on the inner face of knit fabric contacting the skin of the wearer, in which the massage regions include a plurality of linear or arcuate short loops extending in one direction, are arranged through the repetition of a ridge-type massage part, which is upwardly curved to form a ridge in the middle thereof, and a furrow type massage part, which is downwardly curved to form a furrow in the middle thereof, are regularly arranged such that the ridge and the furrow face each other between the two adjacent massage parts, and are disposed in a manner such that the ridge-type and furrow-type massage parts alternate with and partly overlap each other at opposite ends thereof, so that the massage regions are formed with high density. Background Art

[2] In general, women's underwear is mainly worn for the purpose of covering the main parts of the body, protecting the body, and keeping the body warm. Recently, women's underwear has been designed to be more elegant using various fabrics and patterns, thereby being developed with emphasis on beauty. Furthermore, many pieces of functional underwear have appeared for the purpose of correcting body shapes. Such underwear is currently popular, and thus constitutes a distinctive field.

[3] Such functional underwear is called foundation garments, which include brassieres, girdles, waist nippers, bodysuits, and so on. These pieces of functional underwear fit the shape and correct the overall silhouette of the body, thereby making the body comfortable and balanced.

[4] The girdle has nonelastic cloth disposed in the front middle thereof in order to displace excess fat from the belly and underbelly, and correcting elastic cloth, which is cut out in a substantially U shape when viewed from the back, and is sewn to the back thereof in order to raise the buttocks. Further, another piece of elastic cloth is sewn to another region. Thereby, the girdle is finished.

[5] The bodysuit is made so as to be able to combine the functions of various types of underwear, such as brassieres, girdles, and waist nippers to correct shapes of the bust, belly and hips at the same time, and thus is widely used due to its convenience and functionality. [6] As described above, the lengthwise long nonelastic cloth for the girdle and bodysuit is provided in the front middle thereof so as to be applied to the belly, underbelly, bust, etc. of a user, so that it enables the excess fat of the belly and underbelly of the user to be firmly tightened. Moreover, the elastic cloth, which is cut out in a substantially U shape when viewed from the back, is sewn to the buttocks of the girdle or bodysuit in order to raise the buttocks of the user. Thus, when the user wears this correcting underwear, the underwear exerts a function of firmly tightening the whole body of the user, thereby accomplishing a correcting function.

[7] Most of the correcting underwear firmly tightens the excess fat of the belly or raises the buttocks of the user, so that it is effective in correcting the shape of the user. However, the correcting underwear has a problem in that it does not promote the circulation of the blood, or in that it is not smoothly ventilated. In addition, because the correcting underwear is in close contact with the body, the warming effect is reduced.

[8] Particularly, although the correcting underwear is required to exhibit various functions other than the function of correcting the body shape, it cannot perform these functions. For example, current underwear shows a tendency toward functional underwear having a massage effect, a relaxing effect, etc. in addition to the shape correcting function.

[9] Korean Patent No. 10-0562202 discloses inner wear made of knit fabric, in which ridges protrude inward from the inner surface thereof. Further, Korean Patent No. 10-0597028 also discloses inner wear made of knit fabric, in which a massage region is provided by ridges that protrude inward from the inner surface thereof, and furrows are formed between the ridges repeated in the same shape.

[10] Even in this case, since the ridges are continuously formed in a corrugated shape, they can simultaneously promote and hinder blood circulation. The furrows, which are formed between the continuous ridges, are poorly ventilated because they are isolated from their surroundings. Further, since the ridges are continuously formed, the massage effect is not very good.

[11] Particularly, the elasticity is very different between the region where the ridges are continuously formed and a flat region. Further, tightening force is continuously propagated by the ridges, so that the skin is pressed, and thus overall elasticity is reduced.

Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem

[12] Accordingly, the present invention has been made in an effort to solve the problems occurring in the related art, and a first object of the present invention is to provide knit fabric and inner wear, capable of correcting a body shape and displacing excess fat. [13] A second object of the present invention is to provide knit fabric and inner wear, capable of overcoming adverse effects of massage regions, such as reduction of elasticity and deterioration of blood circulation, which are caused by continuous, integral connection of the massage regions.

[14] A third object of the present invention is to provide knit fabric and inner wear, capable of circulating air through gaps between massage regions and bringing excess fat into close contact with the gaps.

[15] A fourth object of the present invention is to provide knit fabric and inner wear, capable of reducing oppression of the skin of a wearer, minimizing stress attributable to bodily movement, and maximizing formfitting capability. Technical Solution

Mode for the Invention

[69] Hereinafter, knit fabric and inner wear according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[70] FIGS. 1 and 2 are a photograph and a plan view illustrating knit fabric, particularly massage regions of the knit fabric, when viewed from the inner side of inner wear according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line A-A of FIG. 2.

[71] As illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the inner wear of the present invention comprises a plurality of massage regions 120, which are discontinuously formed on the inner face of knit fabric 110, which is in contact with a skin, in an arc or arch shape. The massage regions 120 are formed by repetition of a ridge-type massage part 122, which is curved in an upward direction, and a furrow-type massage part 124, which is curved in a downward direction. The knit fabric 110 refers to woven fabric, knit fabric, or knitted goods, made by linking loops on opposite faces, either continuously, using a single piece of knitting yarn, or alternately, using multiple pieces of knitting yarn.

[72] As illustrated in FIG. 4, the ridge-type massage parts 122 and the furrow-type massage parts 124 are in line with each other in a vertical direction at opposite ends thereof. Otherwise, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the ridge-type massage parts 122 and the furrow-type massage parts 124 partly overlap each other in a vertical direction at opposite ends thereof, so that they alternate with each other at the opposite ends thereof. Further, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the ridge-type massage parts 122 and the furrow-type massage parts 124 partly overlap each other in vertical and horizontal directions at opposite ends thereof, so that they have a considerably close texture. Of course, the case where the massage regions 120 have a linear shape and alternate partly with each other at opposite ends thereof is not excluded.

[73] In this manner, the massage regions 120 are discontinuously formed, and are divided into the ridge type and the furrow type. The ridge-type massage parts 122 and the furrow-type massage parts 124 overlap partly with each other. Thereby, the massage regions 120 are increased in the density per unit area. The discontinuous formation of the massage regions 120 increases the region in which the skin is massaged, and forms gaps between the massage regions 120. Air can circulate in the gaps, so that the warming effect and the ventilating effect can be increased.

[74] A flat part 130 is provided between the massage regions 120. Each flat part 130 has elasticity equal to or greater than that of each massage region 120. As such, the knit fabric having the flat parts and massage regions is pulled further in all directions compared to that having only the massage regions 120 formed continuously in the horizontal direction, so that it increases the elasticity overall, and makes the user comfortable by avoiding the case where only part of the skin is intensely pressed. Further, in the case in which only the massage regions 120 are continuously formed, the knit fabric 110 is expanded when the inner wear is worn, and thus the distance between the massage regions 120 is increased. As a result, the massage effect is not substantially produced.

[75] Before wearing, the ridge-type or furrow-type massage part 122 or 124 has a length from about 0.4mm to about 0.8mm, and a raised height from about 0.05mm to about 0.2mm. The distance between the opposite ends or between the middles of the ridge- type or furrow-type massage part 122 or 124 ranges from about 0.4mm to about 0.8mm. When worn, the ridge-type or furrow-type massage part 122 or 124 has a length from about 1.2mm to about 2.4mm, without a great change in the raised height. However, the distance between the opposite ends or between the middles of the ridge- type or furrow-type massage part 122 or 124 is increased up to a range from about 0.6mm to about 1.2mm.

[76] FIG. 8 illustrates the texture of knit fabric, when arch-shaped massage regions constituting the knit fabric are viewed from the outer side of inner wear according to the present invention. FIG. 9 illustrates the texture of a knit fabric, which is represented by knitted loops.

[77] As illustrated in FIG. 8, the transverse direction indicates a crosswise row (also called a course), and the longitudinal direction indicates a lengthwise row (also called a wale). A quadrilateral part, at which the crosswise and lengthwise rows join, represents a stitch. Dark color parts are parts where float stitches 150 are formed because a knitting needle is located at an inactive position when performing knitting, and correspond to the massage regions 120 in the present invention. In contrast, white color parts are parts where a knitting needle moves up and down to form flat stitches 152 at the time of knitting, and correspond to the flat parts 130 rather than the massage regions in the present invention.

[78] Referring to FIG. 8 again, the float stitches 150 forming the massage regions 120 are continuously formed in the direction of the crosswise row so as to have 9 or 11 wales. In other words, 9 or 11 welt loops 160 are formed in the direction of the crosswise row, and held loops 162 are formed in the direction of the lengthwise row. The float stitches 150 are formed by the welt loops 160 and the held loops 162.

[79] In fact, since the held loops 162 are not long and are in a contracted state due to the elasticity thereof, the float stitches 150 are raised toward the inner face of the knit fabric, thereby forming the massage regions 120. In contrast, the remaining regions, other than the float stitches 150, are flat when viewed from either face of the knit fabric.

[80] The float stitches 150 are inclined upwards or downwards within a range from 1 to

3 wales in the direction of the crosswise row. Thus, each ridge-type massage part 122 is smoothly inclined upwards while moving in the direction of the crosswise row, and then downwards from the middle thereof. Each furrow-type massage part 124 is smoothly inclined upwards while moving in the direction of the crosswise row, and then upwards from the middle thereof.

[81] At this time, if the flat part 130 between the massage regions 120 is too wide, the massage effect is not realized. For this reason, the interval between the ridge-type and furrow-type massage parts 122 and 124 is preferably maintained within a range from 2 to 7 wales.

[82] The knitting yarn forming the knit fabric 110 is elastic yarn, which is made of polyurethane carbon fiber as a main component, and has elasticity. The knitting yarn adopts polyurethane as the component of a core yarn, and can cover nylon on the outer surface of the polyurethane core yarn. At this time, in order to realize the elasticity, the used percentages of nylon and polyurethane are preferably set to 70 wt% nylon and 30 wt% polyurethane. In addition to this knitting yarn, any knitting yarn may be used, as long as it has elasticity.

[83] As illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11, the inner wear 200, having massage regions according to an embodiment of the present invention, is directed to a girdle, which comprises a middle part 210 made of a knit fabric with ordinary tightening force in the middle of the belly, hip parts 220, having an uneven part that has tightening force weaker than that of the middle part 210 and continuously extending in a horizontal direction, and thigh parts 230 having massage regions 210 that massage the thighs in backward and forward directions. [84] The inner wear 200 of the present invention is fabricated by integrally forming a knit fabric in a tube shape together with a seam 240 inside the thigh, and folding and sewing the knit fabric to form upper and lower end finishing parts 250 and 260. The upper end finishing part 250 can be additionally provided with an elastic band.

[85] As illustrated in FIGS. 12 and 13, the inner wear 300, having massage regions according to another embodiment of the present invention, is directed to a bodysuit, which comprises cup parts 310 supporting the breasts of a wearer, a front panel part 320, supporting the belly of the wearer, a rear panel part 330, supporting the back and both sides of the wearer, hip parts 340, supporting the hips of the wearer, and shoulder straps 350, each of which connects an upper end of each cup part 310 and an upper end of the rear panel part 330 and runs around the shoulder of the wearer. The front panel part 320 is provided with the massage regions 120 at a lower portion thereof.

[86] The bodysuit is adapted to be opened and closed at the lower end thereof for convenience when responding to the call of nature. To this end, the bodysuit can further comprise a detachable part 360 at the lower end thereof. The detachable part 360 is provided with a fastener such as a button at the boundary where the front panel part 320 is joined to the hip parts 340.

[87] Meanwhile, the massage regions 120 are responsible for the function of massaging the belly, which protects the internal organs, particularly, the underbelly, which helps with urination and defecation. The bodysuit is supported by the shoulder straps 350 at the upper end thereof and by the detachable part 360 at the lower end thereof, so that it is tightly expanded up and down. Thus, when the wearer moves, the bodysuit has a massage effect in which the belly of the wearer is naturally massaged up and down by the massage regions 120.

[88] As illustrated in FIG. 14, the inner wear 400, having massage regions according to yet another embodiment of the present invention, is directed to a cylindrical tube top, which has a circumferential face corresponding to the size of the waist of the wearer so as to be able to surround the waist of the wearer. The tube top is provided with the massage regions 120 on the outer circumferential face thereof, except for upper and lower ends thereof. Upper and lower end finishing parts 410 and 420 are formed by folding and sewing a piece of knit fabric. Each of the upper and lower end finishing parts 410 and 420 is further provided with an elastic band.

[89] As illustrated in FIG. 15, the inner wear 500 having massage regions according to yet another embodiment of the present invention is directed to a cylindrical knee sock, which extends above the ankle to the knee and has a circumferential face corresponding to the size of the leg of the wearer so as to be able to surround the leg of the wearer. The knee sock is provided with massage regions 120 on the outer circumferential face thereof except for upper end lower ends thereof. Upper and lower end finishing parts 510 and 520 are formed by folding and sewing a piece of knit fabric.

Each of the upper and lower end finishing parts 510 and 520 is further provided with an elastic band. [90] The tube top or the knee sock has ridge-type or furrow-type massage parts 122 or

124 on an inner face thereof. The ridge-type or furrow-type massage parts 122 or 124 protrude inward to conduct a massage function, in which the skin of the wearer is pressed. Particularly, when the wearer moves, the massage regions 120 can further increase the massage function by pressing or stimulating the skin of the wearer. [91] In the drawings and specification, typical exemplary embodiments of the invention have been disclosed, and although specific terms have been employed, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only, and are not for the purposes of limitation, the scope of the invention being set forth in the following claims.

Industrial Applicability [92] As described above, the following effects can be expected from the configuration of the present invention. [93] First, the present invention maximizes the effect of massaging the skin of the wearer, which is applied by the discontinuous high-density arch-shaped massage regions. [94] Second, the present invention has an excellent warming effect and ventilating effect, due to air remaining in and flowing through the gaps between the massage regions. [95] Third, the present invention prevents the thigh parts from being pulled upward when bending the body, for instance the torso, due to the alternating massage regions. [96] Fourth, the present invention has a good massage effect because the excess fat of the wearer is disposed between the inwardly protruding massage regions, as well as an effect in which the silhouette of the body is naturally restored. [97] Fifth, the present invention has an effect of not being oppressive, providing good wearing comfort, and having good formfitting capability because stress is minimized even at the time of bodily movement, for instance, when the wearer puts on or takes off the inner wear.
