Definitions
- the present invention relates to exercise clothing.
- the muscle electrical stimulator is expected to exercise the muscles and strengthen the muscles by applying a weak electric current to the muscles to tension and relax the muscles (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
- the present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and an object of the present invention is to provide fitness wear that maintains aesthetics and functionality.
- the electrically stimulating fitness wear of an aspect of the present invention is close to each of a garment portion that can be worn on the body and a plurality of target body parts in order to apply electrical stimulation to a plurality of target body parts.
- a plurality of electrode portions provided on the clothing portion at positions facing each of a plurality of target body parts and having a surface formed of a conductive polymer cloth, and a control unit for controlling the voltage of the plurality of electrode portions.
- a connection unit that is electrically connected to the control unit, and a plurality of electric wires that electrically connect each of the plurality of electrode units to the connection unit are provided.
- All or part of the garment portion has a multi-layer structure in which a plurality of fabrics are overlapped, and has a closed space formed by sewing all or a part of the surrounding fabrics between the plurality of fabrics.
- the plurality of electric wires include a first electric wire and a second electric wire, and are arranged in a closed space.
- the plurality of electrode portions are a first electrode portion to which the first electric wire is connected and a second electric wire.
- the first electrode portion and the second electrode portion include a second electrode portion to which the two electrodes are connected, and the first electrode portion and the second electrode portion are provided at positions separated from each other so that a predetermined body part can be energized.
- This electrical stimulation fitness wear has elastic clothing that can be worn on the body and multiple target body parts so that they can be close to each of the plurality of target body parts in order to apply electrical stimulation to the plurality of target body parts.
- a plurality of electrode portions provided at positions facing each other, a connection portion electrically connected to a control unit for controlling the voltage of the plurality of electrode portions, and each of the plurality of electrode portions and the connection portion are electrically connected. It is equipped with a plurality of stretchable electric wires to be connected to.
- An aspect of electrical stimulation fitness wear is provided on each of a wearable garment and a plurality of target body parts so that they can be close to each of the plurality of target body parts in order to provide electrical stimulation to the plurality of target body parts.

- the elastic core material and the spirally wound coated lead wire are elastic in the longitudinal direction of the elastic core material, and the total length thereof can be extended up to, for example, about 1.4 times. Since such an electric wire can have both water resistance and elasticity, it can be washed as a part of the clothes part as it is without removing the electric wire from the clothes part, and also the clothes part depending on the user's body shape and movement.
- the electric wire can be stretched following the stretch, and it is possible to prevent the expansion and contraction of the garment portion from being hindered.

- At least a part of the garment portion may have a multi-layer structure in which a plurality of fabrics are overlapped, and may have a closed space formed by sewing at least a part of the periphery between the plurality of fabrics.
- the electric wire has elasticity that can expand and contract in accordance with the expansion and contraction of the garment portion, and a part thereof may be fixed to at least one predetermined fixing portion of the plurality of fabrics.
- the electrode portion may include a pad member provided on the side of the clothing portion facing the wearer's skin and a conductive polymer fabric covering the pad member.
- the electric wire may be connected to the conductive polymer fabric via a connector that penetrates the fabric of the garment portion and electrically connects the front and back surfaces.

- the garment portion is composed of a multi-layer structure in which a plurality of fabrics are stacked, an electric wire is wired inside the multi-layer structure and electrodes are provided on the outside of the multi-layer structure, that is, the side facing the wearer's skin. Even if these are provided, these can be easily electrically connected.
- the pad member by covering the pad member with a conductive polymer fabric to form an electrode, the electrode is prevented from being separated from the skin by protruding toward the skin by the pad member while maintaining a good feeling of contact with the skin. The contact state can be maintained.
- the fabric of the garment part has a multi-layer structure

Abstract
Description
筋電気刺激装置のユーザーの中には、より本格的に、あるいはより効率的に、筋電気刺激装置を利用して全身の筋肉を同時に鍛えたいと考えるユーザーが少なからずいる。また、そのような全身の筋肉を同時に鍛えるための複数の筋電気刺激装置を利用した運動プログラムをフィットネスジムのような場所で複数人のユーザーに同時に提供することも考えられる。複数の身体的部位を対象に複数の装置を同時利用する場合、より簡単な手順で実行できるのが好ましい。また、運動に対するユーザーの動機や意欲を高めるためにも、運動プログラムの提供場所や用いる器具、フィットネスウェアの一つ一つに美観が求められる。しかしながら、従来のフィットネス用衣類の場合、筋電気刺激装置や多数の電気ケーブルが衣類から露出して美観を損ねていただけでなく、剥き出しの電気ケーブルの存在がユーザーの動きを制限してしまう場合があった。電気ケーブルがいくつも剥き出しとなる場合、一部に接触不良や断線が生じやすい問題もあった。また、筋電気刺激装置の配線が露出していると、複数ユーザーの同時使用時に配線をひっかけるおそれもある。そうした電気的部品の取り付けが必要となる上に衣類の着脱自体も第三者の手助けが必要な場合が多く、取り扱いに難があった。さらに、フィットネスジムのように多数のユーザーに運動プログラムを提供する環境ではウェアを繰り返し洗濯する必要があるが、従来のフィットネス用衣類ではそのまま洗濯することはできず、電気的部品を毎回着脱する必要があり煩雑であった。
第2の実施の形態においては、主に、制御ユニット128を制御ユニット接続部20に固定するための構造が第1の実施の形態と異なる。以下、第1の実施の形態との相違点を中心に説明し、共通点の説明を適宜省略する。
上記の第1の実施の形態において説明した電極および制御ユニットの構成例とその配置について、以下説明する。図5に示す上半身用衣服部120においては、陰陽一対の電極が5組配置される。これら電極対の間で通電することを想定し、電極対ごとに印加する電圧値を設定することにより、個別の電気刺激の強度を設定する。ここで、複数の電極対がすべて共通のグラウンドに接続される設計がなされた場合、電圧印加を意図する電極間以外の電極間にも人体を介して閉回路が形成され得るため、一つの電極対と他の電極対の間に大きな電位差が生じれば意図しない体内の経路で漏れ電流が流れるおそれがある。そこで、対として想定する電極間以外の電極間、特に漏れ電流の発生を防止すべき電極間に閉回路が形成されないようにグラウンドを分けた構成とする。そのために、電極構成とその配置に関する以下の4つのユニット構成例からいずれかを採用する。前提として、胴周りの電極群(第1電極部30a、第2電極部30b、第3電極部30c、第4電極部30d、第5電極部30e、第6電極部30f)を「第1電極群」と呼び、腕周りの電極群(第7電極部30g、第8電極部30h、第9電極部30i、第10電極部30j)を「第2電極群」と呼んで、これらを区別する。その上で、第1電極群と第2電極群の間に漏れ電流が生じることを回避するように構成する。なお、制御ユニットの構造としては、第1の実施の形態における図8のような構造を採用してもよいし、第2の実施の形態における図16~19のような構造を採用してもよい。
図20は、第1例における上半身用衣服部および上半身用制御ユニットの外観を模式的に示す。第1例では、第1電極群と第2電極群を同じ上半身用制御ユニット(第1上半身用制御ユニット124a)により制御するが、それぞれの基準電圧として別個のグラウンドを同じ第1上半身用制御ユニット124a内に設けて相互に内部で絶縁する。ただし、1つの第1上半身用制御ユニット124a内に別々のグラウンドを設けて相互に絶縁する一体型の制御ユニットを構成する場合、その第1上半身用制御ユニット124aのサイズは、図4に示す上半身用制御ユニット124や後述する他の構成例における制御ユニットのサイズの約2倍となり得る。
図23は、第2例における上半身用衣服部および上半身用制御ユニットの外観を模式的に示す。第2例では、第1電極群と第2電極群で制御ユニットを分け、それぞれの制御ユニット内に基準電圧としてのグラウンドを設置する。具体的には、各電極への印加電圧を制御する制御ユニットを、第1電極群を制御するための第2上半身用制御ユニット124bと第2電極群を制御するための第3上半身用制御ユニット124cとに分離する。第2上半身用制御ユニット124bは、図4の上半身用制御ユニット124や図20の第1上半身用制御ユニット124aと同様に右脇腹に設置され、第3上半身用制御ユニット124cは右腕前面側に設置される。第3上半身用制御ユニット124cは、腕周りに装着したときに邪魔にならない形状および大きさとすることが好ましく、例えば第2上半身用制御ユニット124bよりも小さいサイズにて構成される。第2上半身用制御ユニット124bは、図4に示す上半身用制御ユニット124と同じサイズの制御ユニットである。なお、電極の構成および配置は、第1例の図21に示される電極の構成および配置と同様である。
図25は、第3例における上半身用衣服部および上半身用制御ユニットの外観を模式的に示す。第3例でもまた、第2例と同様に、第1電極群と第2電極群で制御ユニットを分け、それぞれの制御ユニット内に基準電圧としてのグラウンドを設置する。具体的には、各電極への印加電圧を制御する制御ユニットを、第1電極群を制御するための第4上半身用制御ユニット124dと第2電極群を制御するための第5上半身用制御ユニット124eとに分離する。第4上半身用制御ユニット124dは、図23の第2上半身用制御ユニット124bと同様に右脇腹に設置され、第5上半身用制御ユニット124eは、図23の第3上半身用制御ユニット124cと同様に右腕前面側に設置される。ただし、第4上半身用制御ユニット124dと第5上半身用制御ユニット124eとして、部品を共通化したユニットをそれぞれに用いることとし、製造コストの低減を図る。なお、第3例における電極の構成および配置は、第1例の図21に示される電極の構成および配置と同様である。
図26は、第4例の上半身用衣服部における電極のサイズと配置を模式的に示す。電極対ごとの電気刺激の強度としてユーザーが任意の強度を設定できる機能を省略した上で、意図しない電極間に漏れ電流が生じるような電位差が生じないような限定的な範囲で電圧を制御する。ここで、電極間に印加する電圧および流す電流が一定の場合、所定の臨界値に達するまでは、対となる電極同士の距離を大きくするほど電気刺激の体感強度は大きくなり、また、対となる電極の大きさを大きくするほど電気刺激の体感強度は大きくなる。その特性を利用し、第4例では少なくとも一部の電極間に印加する電圧値を他の構成例の場合より小さくする代わりに、体感強度が他の構成例の場合より大きくなるような電極の距離とサイズに調整することで、印加電圧を低減させながら体感強度を保つことができる。図26の各電極は、第1例の図21に示される各電極とほぼ同様の位置に配置されるが、それぞれ図21の各電極より幅が細く、面積が小さい分、体感強度が相対的に小さくなる方向に調整される一方、対となる電極間の距離が図21における対となる電極間の距離より広い分、体感強度が相対的に大きくなる方向に調整される。また、印加電圧の最大値が、第1例における最大値より小さい値に限定される。また、図26では、対となる電極間の距離とサイズをすべて調整した例を示したが、変形例として一部の対の電極は図21において対応する電極と同様の距離やサイズとなるように構成してもよい。なお、第4例では、制御ユニットを第1電極群用と第2電極群用とで分離せず、図4と同様に一体の制御ユニットで構成するとともに、グラウンドも分けず、単一のグラウンドに各電極が接続される。ただし、変形例においては、第1例と同様に制御ユニット内でグラウンドを分けて接続する構成としてもよいし、第2,3例と同様に制御ユニットを分けて構成してもよい。
