Description

Garment with crotch part

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a crotch-equipped garment, and is particularly suitable for use as a sports crotch-equipped garment.

Background

Some of the conventional clothes with a crotch for exercise are provided with a support portion having a strong tightening force at a predetermined portion thereof for supporting the movement of leg muscles. For example, japanese patent laying-open No. h 10-110306 (patent document 1) discloses a garment with a crotch part, which supports muscle movements so that thighs, knees and calves are sandwiched from left and right by support parts. When wearing such a garment with a crotch portion, the support portion suppresses the movement of the leg portions in the left-right direction, and therefore the movement of the leg portions in the front-back direction can be stabilized. At the same time, the garment has an effect of supporting the flexion and extension movements of the hip joint or the knee joint.

However, since body movements include inward and outward rotation movements, and the like in addition to bending and stretching movements, the crotch garment disclosed in patent document 1 can support bending and stretching movements, but is still difficult to support other types of movements.

Disclosure of Invention

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a garment with a crotch portion, which can support leg movements with good balance.

In order to achieve the above object, a crotch-equipped garment according to the present invention includes a tightening part formed in a band shape covering at least a part of a lower body, the tightening part including at least: the thigh front tightening part is formed in a front portion corresponding to the front side of the thigh obliquely from above to below the front portion, and the thigh rear tightening part is formed in a rear portion corresponding to the rear side of the thigh obliquely from above to below the rear portion.

Since the thighs of the wearer are held between the thighs front and rear fastening parts with strong fastening force, muscles located in front and rear of the thighs can be supported in a balanced manner, and inward and outward rotation movements of the legs of the wearer can be easily performed.

In the crotch-equipped garment of the present invention, the thigh front side fastening portion and the thigh rear side fastening portion are preferably inclined in opposite directions with respect to the vertical direction, respectively, when viewed from either the front side or the rear side. In the crotch-equipped garment of the present invention, the front thigh fastening part and the rear thigh fastening part may be inclined in the same direction with respect to the vertical direction when viewed from either the front side or the rear side, and in this case, the front thigh fastening part and the rear thigh fastening part are preferably connected to at least one of the inner side of the thigh and the outer side of the thigh, and more preferably connected to both sides of the inner side of the thigh and the outer side of the thigh. Here, the inner side means the upper or lower side of the inner side of the thigh portion, the outer side means the upper or lower side of the outer side of the thigh portion, and the connection at both sides means the connection between the upper side of the inner side of the thigh portion and the lower side of the outer side of the thigh portion, or the connection between the lower side of the inner side of the thigh portion and the upper side of the outer side of the thigh portion (the same applies hereinafter). In the crotch-equipped garment of the present invention, a part of the tightening part is preferably formed in a part corresponding to the large trochanter.

In the crotch-equipped garment of the present invention, it is preferable that the tightening part further includes a lower thigh tightening part formed obliquely at least from a middle of either the front thigh tightening part or the rear thigh tightening part to a lower side of the inner thigh or a lower side of the outer thigh. Thus, the tension can be generated in either one or both of the thigh front side tightening part and the thigh rear side tightening part, and the effect of supporting the thigh front side tightening part and the thigh rear side tightening part can be improved. In this case, it is preferable that a part of the lower thigh tightening part is formed at a part corresponding to the inner side of the knee or the outer side of the knee, or that the lower thigh tightening part connects the front thigh tightening part or the rear thigh tightening part with another tightening part formed at a part corresponding to the inner side of the knee or the outer side of the knee. This can improve the knee supporting effect. In this case, the lower thigh tightening part is preferably formed from the vicinity of the center in the longitudinal direction of at least one of the thigh front tightening part and the thigh rear tightening part of the thigh. This makes it easier to apply tension to the tightening parts.

In the crotch-equipped garment of the present invention, the crotch-equipped garment includes a tightening part formed in a band shape so as to cover at least a part of the lower body, the tightening part including at least: the thigh front tightening part is formed in a front portion corresponding to the front side of the thigh obliquely from above to below the front portion, and the thigh rear tightening part is formed in a rear portion corresponding to the rear side of the thigh obliquely from above to below the rear portion. Accordingly, tension can be generated in either or both of the thigh front side fastening section and the thigh rear side fastening section, and therefore the supporting effect of the thigh front side fastening section and the thigh rear side fastening section can be improved. In this case, the upper thigh tightening part is preferably formed from the vicinity of the center in the longitudinal direction of at least one of the front thigh tightening part and the rear thigh tightening part. This makes it easier to generate tension between the tightening parts.

Further, a crotch-equipped garment according to the present invention is a crotch-equipped garment covering at least a part of a lower body, and includes a tightening part formed in a band shape and including at least: a lower leg portion front side tightening portion formed in a front portion corresponding to a lower leg portion front side so as to be inclined from above to below the front portion; and a lower leg portion rear side tightening portion formed in a rear side portion corresponding to a lower leg portion rear side so as to be inclined from above to below the rear side portion. The lower leg portion front tightening portion and the lower leg portion rear tightening portion are inclined in opposite directions with respect to the vertical direction, respectively, when viewed from either the front side or the rear side.

Since the lower leg portion of the wearer is sandwiched between the lower leg portion front tightening portion and the lower leg portion rear tightening portion, which have strong tightening force, the muscles located in front of and behind the lower leg portion can be supported in a well-balanced manner, and the wearer can easily perform the inward/outward rotation movement and the inward/outward rotation movement of the leg portion.

In the crotch-equipped garment of the present invention, the lower leg portion front side tightening portion and the lower leg portion rear side tightening portion may be inclined in the same direction with respect to the vertical direction as viewed from either the front side or the rear side, and in this case, the lower leg portion front side tightening portion and the lower leg portion rear side tightening portion are preferably connected to at least one of the lower leg portion inner side and the lower leg portion outer side, and more preferably connected to both sides of the lower leg portion inner side and the lower leg portion outer side. This makes it easier to cause tension to be generated between the tightening parts.

In the crotch-equipped garment of the present invention, it is preferable that the tightening part is formed at a portion corresponding to at least one of the inner side of the knee and the outer side of the knee. In this way, at least one of the inner side of the knee and the outer side of the knee can be supported by a part of the tightening part, so that the movement of the knee in the left-right direction is suppressed, and the movement of the leg in the front-back direction is stabilized. Therefore, the wearer can easily perform the flexion and extension movements of the knee joint. Here, the ranges indicated as the upper side of the knee, the lower side of the knee, the inner side of the knee, and the outer side of the knee refer to positions within the knee joint, or positions within several cm from the outer periphery of the patella, that is, positions close to the extent of stabilizing the knee joint directly by the tightening part (the same applies hereinafter). Therefore, at least a part of the tightening part may be formed in contact with the position.

In the crotch-equipped garment of the present invention, the tightening part further includes a below-knee tightening part formed from a part corresponding to the inner side of the knee and a part corresponding to the outer side of the knee to a part corresponding to the lower side of the knee, and the upper edge of the below-knee tightening part is preferably formed in a concave shape toward the lower side of the lower leg. Thus, the wearer can receive firm support on the inner side, outer side and lower side of the knee by the below-knee tightening part with strong tightening force, so as to stabilize the knee, thereby suppressing the excessive movement of the knee. Further, the tightening part does not contact the knee or below the knee, and therefore the degree of freedom of the knee can be ensured.

In the crotch-equipped garment of the present invention, the tightening part preferably further includes a knee tightening part formed from a part corresponding to the inner side of the knee and a part corresponding to the outer side of the knee to a part corresponding to the upper side of the knee, and the lower edge of the knee tightening part is preferably formed in a concave shape in the upper direction of the thigh, whereby the stability of the knee can be improved.

In the crotch-equipped garment of the present invention, the tightening part further includes: preferably, the waist tightening part is formed at a portion corresponding to both left and right sides of the waist, and the abdomen tightening part is formed at a portion corresponding to the abdomen, wherein the abdomen tightening part connects the waist tightening parts positioned at the left and right sides. Thus, the waist tightening parts in contact with the left and right side parts of the waist are pulled in the body center direction, and the hip joint and the pelvis are stabilized.

In the crotch-equipped garment of the present invention, the thigh front side fastening portion is preferably formed from the lower side of the inner side of the thigh to the thigh through the upper side of the thigh front surface, and is formed so as to be curved in a concave shape in the upper direction of the thigh, whereby the contraction of muscles on the thigh front surface can be supported.

The crotch-equipped garment of the present invention preferably has a hem portion formed on a portion corresponding to the knee, at least one of the lower end of the thigh front side fastening portion and the lower end of the thigh rear side fastening portion is preferably located on the hem portion, and preferably, the upper side of the thigh front side fastening portion and the upper side of the thigh rear side fastening portion are connected to a portion corresponding to the waist side, and the lower side of the thigh front side fastening portion and the lower side of the thigh rear side fastening portion are connected to a portion corresponding to the lower side of the inner side of the thigh. By such connection, the thigh front side tightening part and the thigh rear side tightening part are mutually tensioned, so that the supporting effect on the thigh muscles is increased, and the hip joint can be supported.

Detailed Description

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same members are given the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

First, before the embodiments are explained, the positions of muscles and bones for explaining the functions of the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to fig. 1 and 2. Fig. 1 is a view showing muscles and bones of a human lower limb as viewed from the front side, and fig. 2 is a view showing muscles and bones of a human lower limb as viewed from the rear side. As shown in fig. 1, adductor longus 102, pubic longus 103, and sartorius 104 are located on the anterior side of the thigh, and fibula longus 108, tibialis anterior 109, flexor longus 110, gastrocnemius 111, and soleus 112 are located on the anterior side of the calf. As shown in fig. 2, adductor muscles 101, semitendinosus muscles 105, biceps femoris muscles 106 and semimembranosus muscles 107 are located on the rear side of the thigh, and gastrocnemius muscles 111 and soleus muscles 112 are located on the rear side of the calf. Fig. 1 and 2 show the large rotor 113. These drawings only show representative muscles and bones, and do not limit the muscles and bones to be supported in the present invention.

Next, the training pants (i.e., the wearing article with a crotch portion for exercise) according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to fig. 3 and 4. Fig. 3 is a front view of the pair of sports pants 1, and fig. 4 is a rear view of the pair of sports pants 1.

As shown in the figure, the training pants 1 are pants covering from the waist to the lower leg, and have a tightening part 2 formed in a band shape. The body and the tightening part 2 of the pair of sports pants 1 are made of a material having a close fit. As the material having a tight-fitting property, for example, an elastic mesh warp knitted fabric, a satin mesh fabric, a tricot mesh warp knitted fabric, a bidirectional tricot warp knitted fabric, a bidirectional raschel warp knitted fabric, or the like can be used. The following description will be made of specific examples of materials used for the main body and the tightening part 2. For example, a two-way tricot (a blend ratio of 56dtex polyester yarn of 82% and a blend ratio of 55dtex polyurethane yarn of 18%) was used as the main body fabric, and an elastic mesh tricot (a blend ratio of 55dtex nylon yarn of 82% and a blend ratio of 310dtex polyurethane yarn of 18%) was used as the tightening part. As described above, the tightening part 2 is formed using a material having a tight fit, like the body part of the sports pants 1, but the tightening part 2 is stronger than the body part in terms of the tightening force of the cloth, which is a characteristic feature of the present invention. In addition, the material for the body cloth is preferably tight in both directions.

The width of the tightening part varies depending on the location to be formed and the size of the garment, and therefore, it is difficult to specify the width as data, but generally, it is preferable to be 2cm or more on average, and more preferably 3cm or more on average. In particular, it is preferable that the width of the tightening part corresponding to the important supporting portion is 5cm or more. Specifically, for example, the width of the tightening part in contact with the lower leg part is preferably about 2 to 6cm, and the width of the tightening part in contact with the inner knee or the outer knee part is preferably 3cm or more (more preferably about 5 to 10 cm). Further, it is preferable that the width of the tightening part contacting the thigh is about 3 to 8cm, and the width of the tightening part contacting the greater trochanter and the waist is about 4cm or more (about 8 to 15cm is optional). In addition, a part of the sheet may be formed to have a width of about 20 cm. Here, these data are based on the M size of japanese men (the same applies hereinafter). In other embodiments described below, the width is the same as the width of the tightening part.

The tightening part 2 may be formed of a continuous cloth or a plurality of cloths. In addition, the method of forming the tightening part 2 is preferably such that a cloth having a strong tightening force is superposed on the outer side of the main body cloth having a tight fit in both directions, but may be superposed on the inner side of the main body cloth. The method of forming the tightening part 2 is the same in other embodiments described below.

When the tightening part 2 is formed in such a manner that it is easier to apply tension to the muscle in contact with the tightening part 2, for example, the tightening part 2 is formed so as to connect the greater trochanter to the inner side surface of the knee, the upper side of the inner thigh to the outer side surface of the knee, or the one side surface of the knee to the ankle side surface on the other side thereof by a shorter distance. Further, for example, the tightening parts may be connected at a shorter distance if they have a shape of a straight line or a shape close to a straight line, but they are not necessarily formed of a straight line, and may be formed of a curve expanding upward or downward from a straight line as the shortest distance between two points as a fulcrum, for example. In other embodiments described below, the tightening part 2 is connected to each other at a shorter distance.

As shown in fig. 3, the tightening part 2 has a thigh front tightening part 2b at a part 1a corresponding to the thigh front side, and has lower leg front tightening parts 2e and 2f at a part 1b corresponding to the lower leg front side. As shown in fig. 4, the tightening part 2 has thigh rear tightening parts 2c and 2d at a part 1c corresponding to the thigh rear side. The features of each tightening part will be described in detail below.

The thigh front tightening part 2b shown in fig. 3 is formed in a portion 1a corresponding to the thigh front, and is inclined from the upper outer side to the lower inner side of the portion 1 a. Specifically, the upper part of the thigh front tightening part 2b is located at a part of the pair of training pants 1 corresponding to the trochanter 113, and the lower part of the thigh front tightening part 2b is located at a part corresponding to the inner side of the knee joint. The thigh front side tightening part 2b is formed substantially linearly from a part corresponding to the upper greater trochanter 113 to a part corresponding to the inner side of the knee joint in the lower part, and contacts the thigh front side. By means of such contact, the muscles located on the front side of the thigh are restrained between the upper and lower parts. The thigh front tightening part 2b may be linear or slightly curved upward and downward in a shape in which it contacts the front surface of the thigh from the lower inner side to the upper outer side of the thigh, preferably from the inner knee to the greater trochanter. The thigh front tightening portion 2b is formed to extend upward from the thigh 113 along the side of the waist from a portion above the thigh 113.

The lower leg portion front side fastening portion 2e shown in fig. 3 is formed in a portion 1b corresponding to the lower leg portion front side in an inclined manner from the inside upper side to the outside lower side of the portion 1 b. Specifically, the upper part of the lower-leg-portion front tightening portion 2e is located at a portion corresponding to the inner side of the knee joint, and the lower part of the lower-leg-portion front tightening portion 2e is located at a lower hem portion corresponding to the outer side of the ankle. The lower leg front side tightening portion 2e is formed between the upper portion and the lower portion thereof so as to be able to support the peroneal long muscle 108. By providing the lower leg front side tightening portion 2e in this way, the action (movement) of the fibula longissimus 108 is supported. Here, the upper portion of the lower leg portion anterior tightening unit 2e is not necessarily located at a portion corresponding to the inner side of the knee joint, and may be located at least on the medial side (femoral side) and the upper side near the center on the lower leg portion anterior surface. The lower part of the band-shaped portion formed between the upper part and the lower part of the lower leg front tightening portion 2e is not necessarily formed only on the lower leg front side, but a part thereof may be continuously formed to a portion 1d corresponding to the lower leg rear side as long as most of the tightening portion can be positioned on the lower leg front side (see fig. 4).

The lower leg portion front side fastening portion 2f shown in fig. 3 is formed in an inclined manner from the outer upper side to the inner lower side of the portion 1b corresponding to the lower leg portion front side at the portion 1 b. Specifically, the upper portion of the lower-leg-portion anterior tightening unit 2f is located at a portion corresponding to the outer side of the knee joint, and the lower portion of the lower-leg-portion anterior tightening unit 2f is located at a portion corresponding to the lower hem portion of the inner side of the ankle. The lower leg front side tense portion 2f supports a fibula anterior muscle 109, a long flexor hallucis muscle (not shown), a long flexor digitorum muscle 110, and a long fibula muscle 108 between the upper and lower portions thereof. By providing such a lower leg front side tightening part 2f, the movement (activity) of the anterior fibula muscle 109, the long flexor hallucis muscle (not shown), the long flexor digitorum muscle 110, and the long fibula muscle 108 is supported. Here, the lower portion of the band-shaped portion formed between the upper portion and the lower portion of the lower leg portion front side tightening portion 2f is not necessarily formed only on the lower leg portion front side, and a part thereof may be formed in a portion 1d corresponding to the lower leg portion rear side (see fig. 4).

As shown in fig. 3, the lower leg portion front side tightening portion 2e and the lower leg portion front side tightening portion 2f intersect below the knee, and the upper edge thereof is formed in a V-shape. As shown in fig. 3, a thigh front tightening portion 2b and a lower leg front tightening portion 2e are formed in the knee inner portion, and a lower leg front tightening portion 2f and a thigh rear tightening portion 2d are formed in the knee outer portion, corresponding to the portion around the knee, but no tightening portion is formed in the knee upper portion. Thus, by supporting the knee in three directions from the left and right side surfaces and the lower side, the knee ligament can be reliably supported, and the wearer can easily perform the bending and stretching movements of the knee joint. Further, since the tightening part is not formed at the upper part of the knee, the following performance of the knee movement can be ensured.

Further, the width of each of the tightening parts formed at the portion corresponding to the periphery of the knee is preferably 3 to 10 cm. The tightening parts may be formed in a fixed width or different widths as long as the width is within the range. When the tightening part is formed with different widths, the width of the part in contact with the inner knee with a weak ligament is preferably made larger than the width of the other parts, particularly the outer knee or the width under the knee. The width of each of the tightening parts formed at the portion corresponding to the periphery of the knee is the same in the embodiments described below.

In addition to the tightening part shown in fig. 3, two tightening parts described below may be formed. The first fastening portion is formed from the inner knee portion of the calf portion front side fastening portion 2e shown in fig. 3, and extends over the upper portion of the calf portion front side fastening portion 2f where the calf portion inner side contacts, via the calf portion inner side surface. The second tightening part is formed from the outer knee part of the calf front tightening part 2f shown in fig. 3 to the upper part of the calf outer side contact part of the calf front tightening part 2e via the calf outer side surface. Both or only either of the two tightening parts may be formed. By forming such a tightening part, it is possible to easily apply tension to the tightening part in contact with the inner side, outer side, and lower side of the knee, and to improve the effect of supporting the knee. Further, since these tightening parts are in contact with the side surfaces of the calf, the calf can be supported. Further, the two tightening parts are preferably formed in a straight line, which is most likely to generate tension, but may have some curvature. The two tightening parts may be made narrower than the other tightening parts as long as they can generate tension with the other tightening parts connected to the respective tightening parts.

The thigh rear side tightening part 2c shown in fig. 4 is formed at a portion 1c corresponding to the thigh rear side, obliquely from the upper outer side to the lower inner side of the portion 1 c. Specifically, the upper part of the thigh rear side tightening part 2c is located at a part corresponding to the greater trochanter 113, and the lower part of the thigh rear side tightening part 2c is located at a part corresponding to the inner side of the knee joint. The thigh rear side tightening part 2c is formed to support the semitendinosus muscle 105 between the upper and lower parts thereof. By providing such a thigh rear side tightening part 2c, the movement of the semitendinosus muscle 105 can be supported. Here, the upper portion of the thigh rear side tightening part 2c is not necessarily located at a portion corresponding to the greater trochanter 113, but may be located beyond at least the vicinity of the center on the rear side surface of the upper portion of the thigh. The part of the thigh rear fastening section 2c above the greater trochanter 113 is formed from the greater trochanter 113 in contact with the side surface of the waist and toward the upper part of the rear center, and also in contact with the upper part of the hip bulge (upper part of the waist), and the ends of the thigh rear fastening sections 2c located on the left and right sides thereof are connected near the rear center of the waist (upper part of the waist). Here, the thigh rear side tightening part 2c may be connected to the thigh front side tightening part 2b shown in fig. 3 at the side of the waist. In this way, since the thigh rear side tightening part 2c and the thigh front side tightening part 2b are connected to each other at the side of the waist, tension can be applied to each other, the effect of supporting the thigh muscles can be increased, and the hip joint can be supported. The femoral posterior tightening part 2c or the femoral anterior tightening part 2b is in contact with a side part including the lumbar part of the greater trochanter 113, and can support the hip joint. Further, the left and right thigh rear tightening portions 2c are connected to the rear center of the waist, or the left and right thigh front tightening portions 2b are connected to the front center of the abdomen, whereby the supporting effect on the hip joint is further increased. When the left and right thigh rear side tightening portions 2c are connected at the rear center of the waist portion, the connection portion is preferably provided above the waist portion.

The thigh rear side tightening part 2d shown in fig. 4 is formed in a portion 1c corresponding to the thigh rear side in an inclined manner from the inside upper side to the outside lower side of the portion 1 c. Specifically, the upper part of the thigh rear side tightening part 2d is located at a part corresponding to the vicinity of the ischial junction (lower part of hip cleft), and the lower part of the thigh rear side tightening part 2d is located at a part corresponding to the outer side of the knee joint. The thigh rear side tightening part 2d can support the biceps femoris muscle 106, the semimembranosus 107 and the semitendinosus muscle 105 between the upper and lower parts thereof. By providing such a thigh rear side tightening part 2d, the action of the biceps femoris muscle 106, the semimembranosus muscle 107 and the semitendinosus muscle 105 can be supported. The upper ends of the thigh rear side tightening parts 2d positioned on the left and right thigh parts are connected in the vicinity of the ischial joint. This enables the left and right thigh rear side tightening portions 2d to be tensioned. The upper portion of the thigh rear side tightening part 2d may be located on the inner upper portion (under the thigh) on the thigh rear side. The upper portion of the thigh rear side tightening part 2d may be brought into contact with the cleft of the buttocks to reach the waist, or may be brought into contact with the cleft of the buttocks to be connected to another tightening part at the rear center above the waist. This can provide greater tension to the thigh rear side tightening part 2d, and improve the muscle support effect.

As shown in fig. 4, since the thigh rear side fastening portion 2c and the thigh rear side fastening portion 2d are not formed above the hip cleft, the extension of the waist can be secured. Thus, for example, even if the wearer is performing a forward bending motion, the garment can easily follow the motion.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the thigh front side tightening part 2b and the thigh rear side tightening part 2c are connected at their upper parts to a part including the greater trochanter from above the outer thigh, and at their lower parts to the inner knee from below the inner thigh. In this case, the tightening portions that come into contact with the front and rear sides of the thigh are connected to the hip joint side portion above the outer thigh and the inner knee below the inner thigh. That is, the tightening parts which come into contact with the front and rear sides of the thigh are connected to the inside and outside of the thigh. Thus, it is possible to provide a tightening force to both of the knee joint and the hip joint, thereby stabilizing and supporting both of the knee joint and the hip joint. Further, the upper part of the lower leg front tightening part 2e is connected to the thigh front tightening part 2b and the thigh rear tightening part 2c on the inner side of the knee. Further, the lower part of the thigh rear side tightening part 2d and the upper part of the lower leg front side tightening part 2e are connected to each other outside the knee. Here, both the thigh rear side tightening part 2d and the thigh rear side tightening part 2c are not necessarily formed, and only one of the tightening parts may be formed. In addition, with respect to either of the thigh rear side tightening part 2d and the thigh rear side tightening part 2c, only the lower side portion may be formed from the intersection of the two tightening parts. Further, only the thigh front side fastening portion 2b and the thigh rear side fastening portion 2c may be formed. In this case, the thigh front side tightening part 2b and the thigh rear side tightening part 2c are connected to the inner knee and the greater trochanter, whereby the inner knee and the lumbar side can be stabilized. Further, only the thigh front side fastening part 2b and the thigh rear side fastening part 2d may be formed. In this case, by separately forming the below-knee tightening part described later, the below-knee tightening part and the parts in contact with the outer knee and the inner knee can be pulled in the opposite directions to each other at the front and rear parts of the thigh, and the knee can be stabilized. Furthermore, the thigh front side tightening part 2b is formed so as to avoid contact with a portion directly above the knee, thereby ensuring the degree of freedom of the knee.

As described above, the thigh is supported from the front and rear by the thigh front tightening part and the thigh rear tightening part, and the internal rotation/external rotation movement or the internal rotation/external rotation movement of the hip joint or the knee joint can be facilitated. Further, the knee is supported from the left, right, and lower sides by a part of the tightening part to be stabilized, and the bending/stretching motion of the knee joint is facilitated. Therefore, the present invention can provide the training pants suitable for supporting the muscle movements during leg exercises.

The thigh front tightening portion, the thigh rear tightening portion, and the calf front tightening portion are connected (i.e., continuous) to each other at any one of the waist, the thighs, the knees, and the calves, and the left and right thigh rear tightening portions are connected above and below the rear center of the waist. Thus, the tightening parts are configured to apply tension around the back center of the waist (the portion where the spine and the pelvis contact) as a fulcrum, and therefore tension can be applied to the lower body around the core of the body. Therefore, the muscles and joints of the waist, thighs, knees, and calves can be supported in a well-balanced manner.

In the pair of sports pants 1 shown in fig. 3 and 4, one tightening part 2b is provided on the front side of the thigh, and two tightening parts 2c and 2d are provided on the rear side of the thigh. In this way, the supporting effect when the thigh is moved forward and backward is improved by providing more tightening parts on the rear side of the thigh than those on the front side of the thigh. Such an effect can be similarly obtained in other embodiments described below.

Next, a modification of the tightening part 2 of the training pants according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to fig. 5 to 8.

Fig. 5 is a front view of the training pants 1, showing the thigh front side fastening part 2a formed in the part 1a corresponding to the thigh front side. The thigh front side fastening part 2a shown in fig. 5 is formed in a portion 1a corresponding to the thigh front side so as to be inclined from the upper inside to the lower outside of the portion 1 a. Specifically, the upper portion of the thigh front tightening part 2a is located at a portion corresponding to the inner side of the thigh under the thigh (above the inner side of the thigh), and the lower portion of the thigh front tightening part 2a is located at a portion corresponding to the outer side of the knee joint. The muscles of the thigh are bound obliquely from the upper part to the lower part, and the contraction motion of the muscles located therebetween can be supported. Therefore, the thigh front tightening part 2a is formed to be inclined from the upper part to the lower part of the thigh, and is formed to support the pubic muscle 103, the adductor brevis (not shown), the adductor longus muscle 102, and the adductor maximus muscle 101, thereby supporting the operation of the pubic muscle 103, the adductor brevis muscle, the adductor longus muscle 102, and the adductor maximus muscle 101. Here, the lower portion of the thigh front side tightening part 2a does not necessarily have to be located at a portion corresponding to the outer side of the knee joint, but may be located at least on the outer side (lateral side) of the vertical center line of the thigh front side, that is, the lower portion of the thigh outer side.

Fig. 6 is a rear view of the training pants 1, showing a lower leg portion rear side tightening part 2g formed at a portion 1d corresponding to the lower leg portion rear side. The lower leg portion rear side fastening portion 2g shown in fig. 6 is formed in a portion 1d corresponding to the lower leg portion rear side in an inclined manner from the upper outside to the lower inside of the portion 1 d. Specifically, the upper portion of the lower leg rear side tightening portion 2g is located at a portion corresponding to the outer side of the knee joint or the lower portion of the outer side of the knee joint, and the lower portion of the lower leg rear side tightening portion 2g is located at a portion corresponding to the lower hem portion of the inner side of the ankle. The lower leg rear side tightening portion 2g is formed between the upper portion and the lower portion thereof so as to support the gastrocnemius 111, the tibialis posterior muscle (not shown), and the soleus muscle 112. The calf-posterior tightening section 2g is provided to support the movement of the gastrocnemius 111, the tibialis posterior muscle (not shown), and the soleus muscle 112. Here, the band-shaped portion formed between the upper portion and the lower portion of the lower leg rear side tightening portion 2g is not necessarily formed only on the rear side of the lower leg, and a part thereof may be formed on a portion corresponding to the front side of the lower leg.

Fig. 7 is a rear view of the training pants 1, showing the lower leg portion rear side tightening part 2h formed in the portion 1d corresponding to the lower leg portion rear side. The lower leg portion rear side tightening portion 2h shown in fig. 7 is formed in a portion 1d corresponding to the lower leg portion rear side in an inclined manner from the upper inside to the lower outside of the portion 1 d. Specifically, the upper portion of the lower leg rear side tightening portion 2h is located at a portion corresponding to the inner side of the knee joint or the lower portion of the inner side of the knee joint, and the lower portion of the lower leg rear side tightening portion 2h is located at a portion corresponding to the lower hem portion of the outer side of the ankle. The lower leg rear side tightening part 2h is formed between the upper part and the lower part thereof so as to support the gastrocnemius muscle 111 and the soleus muscle 112. The calf-back-side tightening portion 2h is provided to support the operation of the gastrocnemius muscle 111 and the soleus muscle 112. The band-shaped portion formed between the upper portion and the lower portion of the lower leg rear side tightening portion 2h is not necessarily formed only on the rear side of the lower leg, and a part thereof may be formed on a portion corresponding to the front side of the lower leg.

Fig. 8 is a front view of the training pants 1, showing the below-knee tightening part 2v formed in the portion 1b corresponding to the front side of the lower leg. The below-knee tightening part 2V (i.e., the solid line part) shown in fig. 8 is formed from a part corresponding to the inner side of the knee joint and a part corresponding to the outer side of the knee joint to a part corresponding to the lower side of the knee joint, and the upper edge of the below-knee tightening part 2V is V-shaped. Accordingly, the knees of the wearer can be firmly supported from the inner side, the outer side and the lower side of the knees, and therefore, the wearer can easily perform the knee extension exercise by suppressing the excessive movement of the knees. Further, by forming the below-knee tightening part 2v, the bending motion of the knee is suppressed, and the patellar ligament located below the knee can be protected. The upper edge of the below-knee tightening part 2V is not necessarily formed in a V shape, and may be formed in a U shape or a crescent shape, for example. That is, the shape of the upper edge of the below-knee tightening part 2v may be concave toward the lower part of the lower leg. The two tightening portions may intersect below the knees to form below-knee tightening portions 2 v. Further, as shown in fig. 8, since the portion corresponding to the upper side of the knee is formed by the weak tightening part H having a weaker tightening force than the tightening part 2, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the motion following performance of the knee. The body portion (excluding the tightening portion 2) and the weak tightening portion H of the training pants may be formed of a fabric having a weaker tightening force than the tightening portion 2, and the body portion (excluding the tightening portion 2) and the weak tightening portion H may be integrally formed of the same fabric.

Here, even if the aforementioned respective parts are combined as described below, the tightening part 2 in the present embodiment can obtain the same effect as the tightening part 2 combined as shown in fig. 3 and 4.

First, the thigh front side fastening section 2a and the thigh rear side fastening section 2d may be combined with each other for the combination of the parts corresponding to the thigh. With such a combination, the medial rotational motion of the knee and the lateral knee can be supported. Particularly, the knee cap has a support effect of preventing the knee of the wearer from being directed outward when the wearer falls on the ground. Further, the thigh front side fastening section 2b and the thigh rear side fastening section 2c may be combined. With such a combination, the greater trochanter and the inner knee can be supported. The greater trochanter is supported to support the hip joint, thereby facilitating the bending and stretching movements of the hip joint for the wearer. The thigh front side fastening portion and the thigh rear side fastening portion thus combined are inclined in the same direction with respect to the vertical direction when viewed from either the front side or the rear side of the body-tightening pants 1. The vertical width of the connecting portion between the outer thigh and the inner thigh of the tightening part thus assembled is preferably 5cm or more. More preferably, the vertical width of the connecting portion on the outer thigh is about 5 to 15cm, and the vertical width of the connecting portion on the inner thigh is about 5 to 10 cm. The description of these widths is the same in other embodiments. When a tightening part for supporting the gluteus medius (i.e., the muscle above the hip) is added to the combination of the tightening parts, the outward rotation of the hip joint can be supported.

Further, the thigh front side fastening part 2a and the thigh rear side fastening part 2c may be combined. Such a combination supports the medial rotation of the knee and the medial rotation of the hip joint. Further, the thigh front side fastening section 2b and the thigh rear side fastening section 2d may be combined. With such a combination, the knee is supported by the outward turning and outward rotation motion. The thigh front side fastening portion and the thigh rear side fastening portion thus combined are in a relationship such that each fastening portion is inclined in the opposite direction with respect to the vertical direction when viewed from either the front side or the rear side of the body-tightening pants 1.

Thus, the thigh is supported in the front-rear direction by the thigh front-side tightening part and the thigh rear-side tightening part, and the internal rotation/external rotation motion or the internal rotation/external rotation motion at the hip joint or the knee joint is facilitated. In addition, the knee is supported from the left and right by a part of the thigh front side tightening part and a part of the thigh rear side tightening part, whereby the flexion and extension movements at the knee joint are facilitated.

Next, the combination of the portions corresponding to the lower leg portions may be a combination of the lower leg portion front side fastening portion 2e and the lower leg portion rear side fastening portion 2 h. With such a combination, the medial rotation motion of the knee and the medial knee are supported. Further, the lower leg portion front side tightening portion 2f and the lower leg portion rear side tightening portion 2g may be combined. With such a combination, the knee is supported by the external rotation motion and the external knee. The lower leg portion front side tightening portion and the lower leg portion rear side tightening portion thus combined are in a relationship such that the tightening portions are inclined in the same direction with respect to the vertical direction when viewed from either the front side or the rear side of the body-tightening pants 1.

Further, the lower leg portion front side tightening portion 2e and the lower leg portion rear side tightening portion 2g may be combined. With such a combination, the supination of the knee and the supination of the lower leg are supported. Thus, a kicking motion or the like of the inner side of the foot of a soccer ball can be supported. Further, the lower leg portion front side tightening portion 2f and the lower leg portion rear side tightening portion 2h may be combined. With such a combination, the swing-out motion of the knee is supported. The lower leg portion front side tightening portion and the lower leg portion rear side tightening portion thus combined are in a relationship such that each tightening portion is inclined in the opposite direction with respect to the vertical direction when viewed from either the front side or the rear side of the body-tightening pants 1.

In this way, the lower leg portion is supported from the front-rear direction by the lower leg portion front side tightening portion and the lower leg portion rear side tightening portion, and the internal rotation/external rotation movement or the internal rotation/external rotation movement at the knee joint or the ankle is facilitated. In addition, the knee is supported from the left and right by a part of the calf-section front-side tightening section and a part of the calf-section rear-side tightening section, so that the bending and stretching motions at the knee joint are facilitated.

Further, the combinations of the portions corresponding to the thigh and the combinations of the portions corresponding to the lower leg may be combined. A specific example of this case will be described below with reference to fig. 9 and 10. Fig. 9(a) is a front view of the pair of sports pants, showing a case where the thigh front tightening part 2a and the lower leg front tightening part 2f are combined on the front side of the legs. Fig. 9(b) is a rear view of the training pants, showing a combination of the thigh rear side tightening part 2d and the lower leg rear side tightening part 2g on the rear side of the legs. In the tights shown in fig. 9(a), (b), the thigh front tightening part 2a and the thigh rear tightening part 2d are formed in an inclined relationship in the same direction at the thigh, and the lower leg front tightening part 2f and the lower leg rear tightening part 2g are formed in an inclined relationship in the same direction at the lower leg. By forming the tightening parts in this manner, the thigh and the lower leg of the wearer can be firmly supported from the front and back. The tightening parts are connected to each other at a portion corresponding to the outer side of the knee. Therefore, the tightening parts in contact with the outer side of the knee are stretched in all directions by the respective tightening parts, and therefore, the outer side of the knee of the wearer can be firmly supported. In this case, other tightening parts contacting the inner side of the knee may be additionally formed so as to be able to support the inner side of the knee. This enables the knees of the wearer to be firmly supported from the inside and the outside. Further, the lower leg portion front side tightening portion 2f and the lower leg portion rear side tightening portion 2g are connected to each other at the lower portion of the inner side of the lower leg, so that a larger tension can be applied to each tightening portion. Further, the lower ends of the lower leg front side tightening part 2f and the lower leg rear side tightening part 2g preferably reach the hem of the tights.

Fig. 10(a) is a front view of the pair of sports pants, showing a state in which the thigh front tightening part 2b and the lower leg front tightening part 2e are combined at the front side of the legs. Fig. 10(b) is a rear view of the training pants, showing a state in which the thigh rear side tightening portion 2c and the lower leg rear side tightening portion 2h are combined on the rear side of the legs. The tights shown in fig. 10(a) and (b) are formed such that the thigh front tightening part 2b and the thigh rear tightening part 2c are inclined in the same direction at the thigh, and the lower leg front tightening part 2e and the lower leg rear tightening part 2h are inclined in the same direction at the lower leg. The upper portion of the thigh front side tightening part 2b and the upper portion of the thigh rear side tightening part 2c are connected to each other in contact with the greater trochanter. By forming the tightening parts in this manner, the thigh and the lower leg of the wearer are strongly supported from the front and rear. Further, since the tightening portions that contact the inner side of the knee are stretched in all directions by the respective tightening portions, the inner side of the knee of the wearer is strongly supported. In this case, another tightening part may be additionally formed to be able to support the outer side of the knee. This enables the knees of the wearer to be firmly supported from the inside and the outside. Further, by connecting the lower leg portion front side tightening part 2e and the lower leg portion rear side tightening part 2h to each other below the lower leg outer side, a larger tension can be applied to each tightening part. Further, the lower ends of the lower leg front tightening part 2e and the lower leg rear tightening part 2h preferably reach the lower hem of the tights.

Further, each combination of the parts corresponding to the thighs may be combined with each of the below-knee tightening parts 2 v. Specific examples of the above-described case will be described below with reference to fig. 11 and 12. Fig. 11(a) is a front view of the pair of training pants, showing a state in which the thigh front tightening part 2a and the below-knee tightening part 2v are combined at the front side of the legs. Fig. 11(b) is a rear view of the training pants, showing a state in which the thigh rear side fastening part 2d is formed on the rear side of the leg. As shown in fig. 11(a) and (b), the tights are formed with the thigh front side fastening section 2a and the thigh rear side fastening section 2d inclined in the same direction in the thigh. Further, the lower part of the thigh front side tightening part 2a, the lower part of the thigh rear side tightening part 2d, and the outer knee side upper part of the below-knee tightening part 2v are connected at the outer knee part. By forming the tightening parts in this manner, the thighs of the wearer can be firmly supported from the front and rear. Further, the below-knee tightening parts 2v are brought into contact with the inner side, outer side, and lower side of the knee, and are pulled obliquely upward by the tightening parts formed in the front and rear of the thigh, so that the knee of the wearer can be firmly supported from three directions. Thus, when the tightening part is not in contact with the knee, the knee can be kept free and the motion following performance can be improved. On the other hand, when the tightening part is in contact with the knee cap, the stability of the knee cap can be improved, but the motion following performance is lowered. Here, the tights shown in fig. 11(a) and (b) may further have thigh rear side tightening parts 2 c. In this case, the lower portion of the thigh rear side tightening portion 2c and the upper portion of the below-knee tightening portion 2v on the medial knee side are connected to the medial knee portion. In this way, the portion of the under-knee tightening part 2v that contacts the inner knee is pulled upward toward the outside of the thigh by the thigh front-side tightening part 2c, and the portion of the under-knee tightening part 2v that contacts the outer knee is pulled upward toward the inside of the thigh by the thigh front-side tightening part 2a and the thigh rear-side tightening part 2 d. That is, the inner knee side contact portion and the outer knee side contact portion of the below-knee tightening portion 2v are stretched in opposite directions in the front and rear of the thigh, and therefore, the supporting force for the knee can be further increased. Further, a tightening part may be separately formed so as to be connected to the inner knee side upper part of the below-knee tightening part 2v, and the upper part of the tightening part may be connected to the thigh front side tightening part 2a or the thigh rear side tightening part 2 d. Alternatively, the thigh front tightening part 2b, the thigh rear tightening part 2c, and the below-knee tightening part 2v may be combined. In this case, the lower portion of the thigh front side tightening part 2b, the lower portion of the thigh rear side tightening part 2c, and the inner knee side upper portion of the below-knee tightening part 2v are connected at the inner knee portion. By additionally providing a tightening part for connecting the lower part of the below-knee tightening part 2v and the lower hem of the training pants, the tightening parts positioned below and in the knee can be given a greater tension, and the supporting effect can be improved. Further, the number of the tightening parts for connecting the lower part of the below-knee tightening part 2v and the lower hem of the training pants may be one, but if two tightening parts are formed so as to stretch the below-knee tightening part 2v in the lower left and right directions, a larger tension can be easily generated. Further, only the thigh front side tightening part 2a and the thigh rear side tightening part 2d may be formed without forming the below-knee tightening part 2 v.

Fig. 12(a) is a front view of the pair of training pants, showing a state in which the thigh front tightening part 2a and the below-knee tightening part 2v are combined on the front side of the legs. Fig. 12(b) is a rear view of the training pants, showing a state in which the thigh rear side tightening part 2c is formed on the rear side of the leg. In the tights shown in fig. 12(a) and (b), the thigh front side fastening section 2a and the thigh rear side fastening section 2c are formed in a relationship of being inclined in opposite directions at the thigh. The lower part of the thigh front side tightening part 2a and the upper part of the below-knee tightening part 2v on the outer knee side are connected to the outer knee part. Further, the upper portion of the thigh rear side binding portion 2c contacts the greater trochanter. By forming the tightening parts in this manner, the thighs of the wearer can be firmly supported from the front and rear. The below-knee tightening part 2v is in contact with the inner side, outer side, and lower side of the knee, and is pulled upward by the tightening parts formed in the front and rear of the thigh, so that the knee of the wearer is firmly supported in three directions. Thus, when the tightening part of the knee is not contacted, the degree of freedom of the knee can be ensured and the motion following performance can be improved. In contrast, when the tightening part touches the knee, the stability of the knee is improved, but the motion following performance is lowered. In the tights shown in fig. 12(a) and (b), the thigh rear side tightening part 2c may be formed separately. At this time, the lower part of the thigh rear side tightening part 2c and the inner knee side upper part of the below-knee tightening part 2v are connected to the inner knee part. Further, a tightening part may be formed and connected to the inner knee side upper part of the below-knee tightening part 2v, and the upper part of the tightening part may be connected to the thigh front side tightening part 2a or the thigh rear side tightening part 2 c. Further, the thigh front tightening part 2b, the thigh front tightening part 2d, and the below-knee tightening part 2v may be combined. In this case, the lower part of the thigh front side tightening part 2b and the inner knee side upper part of the below-knee tightening part 2v are connected at the inner knee part, and the lower part of the thigh front side tightening part 2d and the outer knee side upper part of the below-knee tightening part 2v are connected at the outer knee part. Further, by providing a tightening part for connecting the lower part of the below-knee tightening part 2v and the lower hem of the training pants, a greater tension can be generated in the tightening part located below and in the knee, and the supporting effect can be improved. Further, the number of the tightening parts connecting the lower part of the below-knee tightening part 2v and the lower hem of the training pants may be one, but if two tightening parts are formed so as to stretch the below-knee tightening part 2v in the lower left and right directions, tension can be more easily applied. Further, instead of the below-knee tightening portion 2v, only the thigh front side tightening portion 2a and the thigh rear side tightening portion 2c may be formed.

Next, a modification of the tightening part on the front side of the thigh will be described in detail with reference to the front views of the training pants shown in fig. 13 to 16. Fig. 13 shows a state in which the thigh front tightening part 2b and the thigh front tightening part 2au (i.e., the upper thigh tightening part) are combined on the thigh front side. As described above, the thigh front side fastening part 2b is formed to be inclined from the upper side to the lower side of the thigh front surface. The thigh front side tightening part 2au is formed as a connecting part from the upper part of the inner side of the thigh to the two tightening parts 2b and 2au located in the middle of the thigh front side tightening part 2 b. By providing such a thigh front tightening part 2au, tension can be applied to the thigh front tightening part 2b formed in an inclined manner from the upper side to the lower side of the thigh front, and therefore the supporting effect of the thigh front tightening part 2b can be improved. The width of the thigh front tightening part 2au may be set narrower than the width of the thigh front tightening part 2 b. Specifically, it can be set to about 2 to 4 cm.

Fig. 14 shows a state in which the thigh front tightening part 2b and the thigh front tightening part 2aw (lower thigh tightening part) are combined on the front side of the thigh. The thigh front side tightening part 2aw is formed as a connecting part from the lower part of the outer side of the thigh to the two tightening parts 2b and 2aw located in the middle of the thigh front side tightening part 2 b. The lower part of the thigh front tightening portion 2aw is connected to the upper part of the lower leg front tightening portion 2f formed outside the knee. By providing such a thigh front tightening part 2aw, tension can be applied to the thigh front tightening part 2b formed in an inclined manner from the upper side to the lower side of the thigh front, and therefore the supporting effect of the thigh front tightening part 2b can be improved. Further, since the lower leg portion front side tightening portion 2f formed on the outer side of the knee portion can be tensioned, the knee supporting effect can be improved. The width of the thigh front fastening portion 2aw may be set narrower than the widths of the thigh front fastening portion 2b and the lower leg front fastening portion 2 f. Specifically, it can be set to about 2 to 4 cm. The thigh front tightening part 2b is curved so as to curve concavely toward the lower part of the thigh from the front surface of the thigh, and the thigh front tightening part 2aw forms a lap tightening part by the thigh front tightening part 2b and the thigh front tightening part 2aw when the thigh front tightening part 2b is connected to the upper part of the knee joint. That is, the above-knee tightening part is formed from a part corresponding to the inner side of the knee joint and a part corresponding to the outer side of the knee joint to a part corresponding to the upper side of the knee joint. The lower edge of the lap lacing portion is formed in an inverted V-shape. The lower edge of the lap-top tightening part is not necessarily formed in an inverted V shape, and may be formed in an inverted U shape or a crescent shape, for example. That is, the lower edge of the tightening part on the knee may be formed in a concave shape toward the upper part of the thigh. By forming such a lap-lacing portion, the stability of the knee can be improved.

Fig. 15 shows a state in which the thigh front tightening part 2a and the thigh front tightening part 2bu (upper thigh tightening part) are combined on the front side of the thigh. As described above, the thigh front side engaging portion 2a is formed to be inclined from the upper side to the lower side of the thigh front surface. The thigh front tightening part 2bu is formed from above the outer side of the thigh to a connecting part between the two tightening parts 2a and 2bu located in the middle of the thigh front tightening part 2 a. By providing such a thigh front tightening part 2bu, the thigh front tightening part 2a formed to be inclined from the upper side to the lower side of the thigh front side can be tensioned, and therefore the supporting effect of the thigh front tightening part 2a can be improved. Further, the width of the thigh front fastening portion 2bu may be set narrower than the width of the thigh front fastening portion 2 a. Specifically, it can be set to about 2 to 4 cm.

Fig. 16 shows a state in which the thigh front tightening part 2a and the thigh front tightening part 2bw (lower thigh tightening part) are combined on the front side of the thigh. The thigh front side tightening part 2bw forms a connecting part from the lower part of the inner thigh to the two tightening parts 2a and 2bw located in the middle of the thigh front side tightening part 2 a. The lower part of the thigh front tightening part 2bw is connected to the upper part of a lower leg front tightening part 2e formed inside the knee part. By providing such a thigh front tightening part 2bw, the thigh front tightening part 2a formed obliquely from the upper side to the lower side of the thigh front can be tensioned, and therefore the supporting effect of the thigh front tightening part 2a can be improved. Further, since tension can be applied to the lower leg portion anterior tightening portion 2e formed on the outer side of the knee portion, the knee supporting effect can be improved. The width of the thigh front fastening portion 2bw may be set narrower than the widths of the thigh front fastening portion 2a and the lower leg front fastening portion 2 e. Specifically, it can be set to about 2 to 4 cm. The thigh front tightening part 2a is curved so as to curve concavely in the thigh front surface toward the lower part of the thigh, and the thigh front tightening part 2bw is connected to the thigh front tightening part 2a directly above the knee joint, and the knee tightening part is formed by the thigh front tightening part 2a and the thigh front tightening part 2 bw. That is, the above-knee tightening part is formed from a part corresponding to the inner side of the knee joint and a part corresponding to the outer side of the knee joint to a part corresponding to the upper side of the knee joint. The lower edge of the lap lacing portion is formed in an inverted V-shape. The lower edge of the lap-top tightening part is not necessarily formed in an inverted V shape, and may be formed in an inverted U shape or a crescent shape, for example. That is, the lower edge of the tightening part on the knee may be formed in a concave shape toward the upper part of the thigh.

As shown in fig. 13 to 16, it is preferable that the tightening parts 2au, 2aw, 2bu, and 2bw are provided on the thigh front side, and the tightening parts 2au, 2aw, 2bu, and 2bw are formed from above or below the side part of the thigh to the halfway of the thigh front tightening part, and have a slope capable of crossing the thigh front tightening part formed in an inclined manner from above to below the front surface of the thigh. It is preferable that these tightening parts 2au, 2aw, 2bu, 2bw are connected to the upper part of the lower leg part anterior tightening part formed on the outer side or inner side of the knee. It is preferable that the connecting portions with the other thigh front tightening portions 2au, 2aw, 2bu, 2bw formed in the middle of the thigh front tightening portions 2a, 2b are formed in the vicinity of the center in the longitudinal direction of the thigh front tightening portions 2a, 2 b. This makes it easy to apply tension between the tightening parts.

The tightening parts 2au, 2aw, 2bu, and 2bw shown in fig. 13 to 16 are provided on the front side of the thigh, but the same tightening parts may be provided on the rear side of the thigh. That is, the femoral region may be provided with a tightening part on the rear side of the femoral region, the tightening part being formed from above or below the side part of the femoral region to the midway of the femoral region rear tightening part and having a slope capable of crossing the femoral region rear tightening part formed in an inclined manner from above to below behind the femoral region. The tightening part may be connected to an upper part of a lower leg rear tightening part formed outside or inside the knee part.

The above-knee tightening part shown in fig. 14 to 16 may be formed in combination with the lower leg front tightening part 2e and the lower leg rear tightening part 2 g. In this case, the above-knee tightening part is connected to the lower-leg-part anterior tightening part 2e or the lower-leg-part posterior tightening part 2g at a part that contacts the medial or lateral side of the knee. The lower leg portion front side tightening portion 2e and the lower leg portion rear side tightening portion 2g are formed to be inclined in opposite directions with respect to the vertical direction when the lower leg portion is viewed from either the front side or the rear side of the lower leg. That is, the lower leg portion anterior tightening portion 2e is formed from the inner knee to the outer ankle below the lower leg while contacting the lower leg anterior. On the other hand, the lower leg rear side tightening portion 2g is formed from the outer knee to the lower leg rear side, and extends to the inner ankle below the lower leg. The above-knee tightening part shown in fig. 14 and 16 may be formed in combination with the lower leg front tightening part 2f and the lower leg rear tightening part 2 h. In this case, the above-knee tightening part is connected to the lower-leg-front tightening part 2f or the lower-leg-rear tightening part 2h at a part that contacts the inner side or the outer side of the knee. The lower leg portion front side tightening portion 2f and the lower leg portion rear side tightening portion 2h are formed to be inclined in opposite directions with respect to the vertical direction when the lower leg portion is viewed from either the lower leg front side or the lower leg rear side. That is, the lower leg portion anterior tightening portion 2f is formed from the outer knee to the inner ankle below the lower leg by contacting the lower leg portion anterior side. On the other hand, the lower leg rear side tightening part 2h is formed from the inner knee to the lower leg rear side, and extends to the outer ankle below the lower leg. In this way, the strong tightening parts are formed to be inclined in opposite directions to each other in the front and rear of the lower leg part so as to be connected to the above-knee tightening part, whereby the knee can be supported by applying tension to each of the tightening parts which are in contact with the above-knee, the inner side of the knee, and the outer side of the knee. In this case, if the tightening part is not provided below the knee, the degree of freedom of the knee can be secured. In contrast, when the tightening portion is provided below the knee, the stability of the knee can be improved.

The above-knee tightening part shown in fig. 14 and 16 may be combined with the below-knee tightening part 2v shown in fig. 8. Thereby, the periphery of the knee can be firmly supported. In this case, it is preferable that the tightening part is formed from the upper part of the above-knee tightening part to a part corresponding to at least one of the inner side or the outer side of the thigh, and the tightening part is formed from the lower part of the below-knee tightening part to a part corresponding to at least one of the inner side or the outer side of the ankle. Here, it is more preferable that the tightening parts are formed from the upper part of the knee tightening part to the upper part of the inner and outer sides of the thigh, and from the lower part of the below-knee tightening part to the lower part of the inner and outer sides of the ankle (i.e., the lower hem in the case of the ankle length). These tightening parts form a thigh part front tightening part and a lower leg part front tightening part. On the other hand, the thigh rear side fastening portion formed on the thigh rear side is preferably formed to be inclined in the opposite direction to the thigh front side fastening portion when viewed from either the front side or the rear side of the body-tightening pants 1. The lower leg portion rear side tightening portion formed on the lower leg portion rear side is preferably formed so as to be inclined in the opposite direction to the lower leg portion front side tightening portion when viewed from either the front side or the rear side of the pants 1. By forming the front and rear tightening parts so as to be inclined in opposite directions, the thigh, the knee, and the calf can be supported more well in balance.

As described above, the thigh is supported from the front and rear by the thigh front tightening part and the thigh rear tightening part, and the lower leg is supported from the front and rear by the lower leg front tightening part and the lower leg rear tightening part, whereby the internal rotation/external rotation movement or the internal rotation/external rotation movement of the hip joint, the knee joint, and the ankle is facilitated. Further, since the knees are supported from the left and right sides by a part of each tightening part, the knee joint can be easily flexed and extended.

In addition, the inclination of each tightening part located on the front side of the thigh and the front side of the calf, or on the rear side of the thigh and the rear side of the calf is preferably such that the inclination of the tightening part of the thigh and the inclination of the tightening part of the calf face each other in the opposite direction. Thus, muscles required for the internal rotation/external rotation movement and the internal rotation/external rotation movement can be supported more well in balance in the entire leg portion including the upper leg and the lower leg.

The tightening part formed on the thigh and the calf may be formed in a state where the tightening part formed on either the thigh or the calf is sandwiched in front and back. In this case, the tightening part formed on the other side may be formed in a state of sandwiching the thigh part or the lower leg part from the left and right. Specifically, for example, the tightening part may be formed in a state of being sandwiched from the front and rear at the thigh part and in contact with the inner side and the outer side of the knee, and the tightening part may be formed in a state of being sandwiched from the left and right direction at the calf part so as to reach the hem. Further, the tightening part may be formed in a state where the thigh part is sandwiched from the left and right, and may be brought into contact with the inner side and the outer side of the knee, and the tightening part may be formed in a state where the shank part is sandwiched from the front and back, and may reach the hem. By forming the tightening part in this way, the thigh or the lower leg can be firmly supported from the front and back, and the knee can be firmly supported from the left and right, so that the muscles necessary for the respective movements of the inward rotation/outward rotation movement, and the flexion and extension movement can be supported in a well-balanced manner.

In the case of supporting the thigh from the front and rear by the thigh front side tightening part and the thigh rear side tightening part, at least one of the above-described lower leg front side tightening part and lower leg rear side tightening part may be provided.

In the case where the thigh is supported from the front and rear by the thigh front side fastening section and the thigh rear side fastening section, the thigh front side fastening section and the thigh rear side fastening section may be formed so as to be located at substantially the same position as each other or so as to be shifted in the vertical direction when viewed from either of the front side and the rear side of the thigh in a portion corresponding to the front side or the rear side of the thigh. Here, a case where the two tightening portions are formed so as to be shifted in the vertical direction is specifically described, for example, a case where the thigh front tightening portion is formed above a portion corresponding to the front side of the thigh, and the thigh rear tightening portion is formed below a portion corresponding to the rear side of the thigh, or a case where the thigh front tightening portion is formed below a portion corresponding to the front side of the thigh, and the thigh rear tightening portion is formed above a portion corresponding to the rear side of the thigh.

In the case where the lower leg portion is supported from the front and rear by the lower leg portion front side tightening portion and the lower leg portion rear side tightening portion, the lower leg portion front side tightening portion and the lower leg portion rear side tightening portion may be formed so as to be located at substantially the same position as each other or so as to be shifted from each other in the vertical direction when viewed from either the front side or the rear side of the lower leg with respect to the portion corresponding to the front side or the rear side of the lower leg. Here, a case where the two tightening portions are formed so as to be shifted in the vertical direction is specifically described, for example, a case where the lower leg portion front tightening portion is formed above a portion corresponding to the front side of the lower leg portion and the lower leg portion rear tightening portion is formed below a portion corresponding to the rear side of the lower leg portion, or a case where the lower leg portion front tightening portion is formed below a portion corresponding to the front side of the lower leg portion and the lower leg portion rear tightening portion is formed above a portion corresponding to the rear side of the lower leg portion.

In the present embodiment, the tightening part 2 is described as being divided into a thigh part and a lower leg part, which is for convenience of description only, and the tightening part 2 is not shown as being divided into a thigh part and a lower leg part.

In the above embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to ankle training pants covering a waist portion to a lower leg portion has been described, but the present invention can also be applied to lap training pants covering a waist portion to a thigh portion, or below-knee training pants covering a waist portion to a below-knee portion. The body suit may have a portion covering the upper half of the body from the waist, or may have a portion covering the sole of the foot from the ankle. In addition, the pair of training pants may be provided with a panty liner in the crotch portion.

Here, specific examples of the pair of gym briefs for a laptop style will be described with reference to fig. 17 to 21. Fig. 17(a) is a front view of the pair of lap pants, showing a state in which the thigh front side fastening part 2b is formed on the front side of the thigh. Fig. 17(b) is a rear view of the pair of lap pants, showing a state in which the thigh rear side fastening section 2c and the thigh rear side fastening section 2d are formed on the rear side of the thigh. In the tights shown in fig. 17(a) and (b), the thigh front tightening part 2b and the thigh rear tightening part 2c are formed in a tilted relationship in the same direction and the thigh front tightening part 2b and the thigh rear tightening part 2d are formed in a tilted relationship in the opposite direction at the thigh. The thigh front side fastening portion 2b is in contact with the side portion including the waist portion of the greater trochanter 113, and is formed as a portion extending upward to the waist along the side portion of the waist portion. The thigh rear tightening portions 2c are connected to the thigh front tightening portions 2b at the side portions of the waist, and also contact the upper portion of the waist, so that the left and right thigh rear tightening portions 2c are connected to the rear center of the upper portion of the waist. By connecting the thigh rear side tightening part 2c and the thigh front side tightening part 2b in this manner, the effect of supporting the thigh muscles can be increased, and the hip joint can be supported. The upper ends of the thigh rear side tightening parts 2d located on the left and right thighs are connected to the vicinity of the ischial junction (i.e., the lower part of the hip cleft). Thus, the tightening portions 2d on the rear sides of the left and right thigh portions apply tension to each other. The upper portion of the thigh rear side tightening part 2d may be located on the inner upper portion (i.e., under the thigh) on the thigh rear side. The lower end of the thigh front side tightening part 2b and the lower end of the thigh rear side tightening part 2c are positioned on the thigh inner side hem part S, and the lower end of the thigh rear side tightening part 2d is positioned on the thigh outer side hem part S. The lower end of the thigh front side tightening part 2b and the lower end of the thigh rear side tightening part 2c are connected to the inner side of the thigh. The vertical width of the joint is preferably about 5 to 10 cm. By forming the tightening parts in this manner, the thighs of the wearer can be firmly supported from the front and rear. In addition, the lower ends of the thigh front side fastening part 2a, the lower ends of the thigh rear side fastening part 2c, and the lower ends of the thigh rear side fastening part 2d are not necessarily all located at the hem part S of the training pants, and at least one of the lower ends may be located at the hem part S. The lower end position of the tightening part 2 is the same as in the case of the pair of lap pants shown in fig. 18 to 21 described below.

Fig. 18(a) is a front view of the pair of lap pants, showing a state in which the thigh front tightening part 2b is formed on the front side of the thigh, and the abdomen tightening part 2x is formed on the abdomen. Fig. 18(b) is a rear view of the pair of lap pants, showing a state in which the thigh rear tightening part 2cw and the thigh rear tightening part 2d are formed on the rear side of the thigh as the lower part of the thigh rear tightening part 2 c. The abdomen tightening part 2x shown in fig. 18(a) is connected to the thigh front side tightening part 2b at the side of the waist. The left and right abdominal tightening parts 2x are connected to each other at the center of the waist. Thus, the thigh front tightening part 2b in contact with both sides of the waist can be pulled toward the center of the body, and the hip joint can be stabilized. That is, by forming the abdominal tightening part 2x, a force for pulling both side parts of the waist part inward can be applied, and the pelvis can be stabilized. The abdomen tightening part 2x is preferably formed so as to be in contact with the upper side of the lower abdomen. Thereby preventing pressure on the abdomen adjacent to the lower thighs. The material of the abdominal tightening part 2x may be a different material having a weaker tightening force than the thigh front tightening part 2b, or may be the same material as the thigh front tightening part 2 b. The abdominal tightening part 2x and the thigh front tightening part 2b may be formed continuously of the same material. The width of the abdominal tightening part 2x is preferably 2cm or more, more preferably about 5 to 15 cm. The abdominal tightening part 2x may have a uniform width, may be narrowed from the side of the waist to the center of the body, or may be widened from the side of the waist to the center of the body. The abdominal tightening part 2x may be sewn to the inside of the main body cloth or may be sewn to the outside. The portion of the abdomen tightening part 2x connected to the thigh front side tightening part 2b is sewn to the main body fabric, but the upper edge and the lower edge of the abdomen tightening part 2x may be suspended without being sewn to the main body fabric. The thigh rear side fastening section 2cw shown in fig. 18(b) is connected to the thigh rear side fastening section 2d at a position near the center of the thigh rear side, and is formed only at the lower part of the thigh inner side. The thigh rear side tightening portion 2cw and the thigh front side tightening portion 2b are connected to the lower portion of the inner thigh.

Fig. 19(a) is a front view of the pair of lap pants, showing a state in which the thigh front tightening part 2b is formed on the front side of the thigh and the abdomen tightening part 2y is formed on the abdomen. Fig. 19(b) is a rear view of the pair of lap pants, showing a state in which the thigh rear tightening part 2cu and the thigh rear tightening part 2d are formed on the rear side of the thigh as the upper part of the thigh rear tightening part 2 c. The abdomen tightening part 2y shown in fig. 19(a) is connected to the thigh front tightening part 2b at the side of the waist. The abdominal tightening part 2y is formed in contact with the upper abdomen. This allows the thigh front tightening part 2b in contact with both sides of the waist to be pulled in the body center direction, thereby stabilizing the hip joint. That is, by forming the abdominal tightening part 2x, tension can be applied to pull the both side parts of the waist inward, and the pelvis can be stabilized. The abdomen tightening part 2y has the widest width at the part connected to the thigh front side tightening part 2b, and gradually narrows toward the front center of the body and extends to a position beyond the front center of the body. Therefore, the portions of the left and right abdominal tightening parts 2y that are located beyond the front center overlap each other. Here, the width of the widest part is preferably about 10 cm. The material of the abdomen tightening part 2y may be different from the thigh front side tightening part 2b, or may be the same material as the thigh front side tightening part 2 b. The abdomen tightening part 2y and the thigh front side tightening part 2b may be continuously made of the same material. The connecting portion between the abdominal tightening part 2y and the thigh front tightening part 2b is sewn to the main body cloth, but one of the upper edge and the lower edge of the abdominal tightening part 2x may be suspended without being sewn to the main body cloth. The thigh rear side tightening part 2cu shown in fig. 19(b) is connected to the vicinity of the center of the thigh rear side tightening part 2d, is in contact with the outer upper side of the thigh, is connected to the thigh front side tightening part in the vicinity of the greater trochanter, and is formed above the waist.

Fig. 20(a) is a front view of the pair of lap pants, showing a state in which the thigh front tightening part 2b is formed on the front side of the thigh, and the abdomen tightening part 2z is formed on the abdomen. Fig. 20(b) is a rear view of the pair of lap training pants, showing a state in which the thigh rear side fastening section 2c and the thigh rear side fastening section 2dw, which is a lower portion of the thigh rear side fastening section 2d, are formed on the rear side of the thigh. The abdominal tightening part 2z shown in fig. 20(a) is formed of a material continuous with the thigh front tightening part 2 b. The material of the abdominal tightening part 2z may be different from the material of the thigh front tightening part 2 b. The abdomen tightening part 2z has the widest width at a part continuous with the thigh front side tightening part 2b, and gradually narrows in width toward the front center of the body. Here, the width of the widest portion is preferably about 10cm, and the width of the narrowest portion is preferably about 5 cm. The left and right abdominal tightening parts 2z are connected to each other at the front center of the body. This allows the thigh front tightening part 2b in contact with both sides of the waist to be pulled in the body center direction, thereby stabilizing the hip joint. That is, by forming the abdominal tightening part 2x, a force for pulling the both sides of the waist inward can be applied, and the pelvis can be stabilized. In addition, either the upper edge or the lower edge of the abdominal tightening part 2z may be suspended without being sewn to the main body fabric. The thigh rear side fastening section 2dw shown in fig. 20(b) is connected to the thigh rear side near the center of the thigh rear side fastening section 2c, and is formed only on the outer lower side of the thigh. The thigh front side tightening part 2b and the thigh rear side tightening part 2c are connected to the vicinity of the greater trochanter below the inner thigh and above the outer thigh. The three types of abdominal tightening parts 2x, 2y, and 2z may be combined with the various tightening parts described in the other embodiments (i.e., ankle tights).

The abdominal tightening parts 2x, 2y, and 2z shown in fig. 18(a), 19(a), and 20(a) are connected to the thigh front tightening parts 2b formed at the portions corresponding to the left and right sides of the waist, but the tightening parts connected to the abdominal tightening parts 2x, 2y, and 2z are not limited to the thigh front tightening parts 2 b. For example, the thigh rear side tightening part may be formed, or another tightening part may be formed at a part corresponding to both the left and right sides of the waist. That is, in the above description of fig. 18 to 20, the thigh front tightening part 2b is used as the tightening part to which the abdomen tightening parts 2x, 2y, and 2z are connected for convenience, but the tightening part to which the abdomen tightening parts 2x, 2y, and 2z are connected may be a waist tightening part formed in a portion corresponding to both the left and right sides of the waist. In this way, the abdominal straining portions 2x, 2y, and 2z are connected to the lumbar straining portions formed at the portions corresponding to the left and right sides of the lumbar region, whereby the lumbar straining portions can be tensioned. The abdominal tightening part and the lumbar tightening part as described above may be formed in combination with the respective tightening parts formed in the thigh, the knee, and the calf as described in the other embodiments.

Fig. 21(a) is a front view of the pair of lap pants, showing a state in which a thigh front side fastening part 2bx for changing the thigh front side fastening part 2b is formed on the front side of the thigh. Fig. 21(b) is a rear view of the pair of lap pants, showing a state in which the thigh rear side fastening section 2c and the thigh rear side fastening section 2du, which is an upper portion of the thigh rear side fastening section 2d, are formed on the rear side of the thigh. In the thigh front side fastening part 2bx shown in fig. 21(a), the line of the thigh front side fastening part 2b is curved in a concave shape in the thigh front side upward direction. The thigh front side tightening part 2bx is formed so as to contact a portion extending from the vicinity of the thigh rotor 113 to the inside lower part of the thigh through the upper part of the thigh front surface. That is, the thigh front side tightening part 2bx reaches the greater trochanter without passing through the muscle abdomen of the rectus femoris. Therefore, compared to the case where the linear thigh front side tightening part 2bx is formed, the effect of not pressing the abdomen when the rectus femoris expands is obtained to the extent that the tightening part does not pass through the rectus femoris. The thigh front side tightening part 2bx is connected to a thigh rear side tightening part 2c shown in fig. 21(b) from the vicinity of the greater trochanter 113 at the side of the waist. The lower part of the thigh front side tightening part 2bx is connected to the lower part of the thigh rear side tightening part 2c at the lower part of the thigh inner side. The width of the thigh front side tightening part 2bx is preferably about 10 to 15cm in the widest part in contact with the vicinity of the waist side part, and about 4 to 5cm in the narrowest part in contact with the thigh. The upper and lower width of the connecting portion between the lower part of the thigh front side tightening part 2bx and the lower part of the thigh rear side tightening part 2c on the inner thigh side is preferably about 8 cm. By forming such thigh front tightening parts 2bx, contraction of muscles on the front of the thigh can be supported. The thigh rear side fastening part 2du shown in fig. 21(b) is connected to the vicinity of the thigh rear side center of the thigh rear side fastening part 2c and is formed only on the upper inner side of the thigh.

The specific examples of the tightening parts formed in the pair of knee-top training pants (fig. 17 to 21) can be applied to ankle training pants, below-knee training pants, and the like.

In the training pants, the tightening portion formed at the waist portion above the thigh portion may be formed as described below. For example, the tightening part may be formed at a portion including the greater trochanter outside the thigh portion, and may be formed continuously in a substantially linear shape from the greater trochanter contacting the waist side portion to the waist girth portion. The tightening part may be formed so as to terminate at the waist from above the large trochanter and above the waist side part and the waist protrusion, or may be formed so as to extend from above the waist protrusion toward the rear center and connect left and right sides near the rear center of the waist. Further, the left and right sides may be connected to each other near the rear center of the waist from the greater trochanter through a part of the convex part of the abdomen. The left and right sides of the abdomen may be connected to each other at the center of the abdomen from the greater trochanter through the abdomen. Further, these tightening parts may be combined.

In the crotch-equipped garment of the present invention, the mode of providing the tightening part is not limited to the method described in the above embodiment, and for example, the tightening part may be formed by overlapping a tight-fitting fabric of a predetermined shape on the crotch-equipped garment body and sewing the tight-fitting fabric, or may be formed by overlapping a tight-fitting fabric of a predetermined shape on the crotch-equipped garment body and bonding the tight-fitting fabric. According to these methods, it is easy to appropriately set the difference in tightening force between the garment body and the tightening part, and it is also possible to impart a large difference in tightening force. The crotch-equipped garment of the present invention can be formed by forming the tightening part and the remaining part as members having predetermined shapes, and joining these members. In addition, the tight-fitting cloth of a predetermined shape may be stretched and superposed on the garment body with the crotch part, and the tightening part may be formed by sewing or bonding. Here, when the tight-fitting fabric is superposed on the garment body with the crotch portion, it is preferable that the tightening force of the tight-fitting fabric forming the tightening portion is set to be stronger than the tightening force of the garment body with the crotch portion. According to these methods, a stronger tightening force can be applied to the tightening portion. The tightening part is formed by impregnating or attaching an elastic resin film to a predetermined portion of the garment body having the crotch part. According to these methods, a thin tightening part can be obtained. As the elastic resin, a polyurethane resin, a polyester elastomer resin, other elastic resins, and the like can be suitably used. According to these methods, since it is not necessary to overlap the fabric, the tightening part having a small thickness can be obtained. In addition, the knitting structure of the tight-fitting fabric constituting the garment body with the crotch portion may be changed by a warp knitting or circular knitting jacquard machine to provide a difference in the degree of tightening force, and the tightening portion may be formed by the knitting structure having a strong tightening force. According to the above method, since it is not necessary to overlap the fabric, the tightening part having a small thickness can be obtained. In addition, as the cloth constituting the crotch-equipped garment, when a circular fabric or the like is used, a tightening part having a strong tightening force can be formed by a Cut-boss knitting method (カツトボス knitting method) in which yarns are partially added. In the case of circular knitting, a method of changing the knitting structure and a Cut-boss knitting method of partially increasing the yarn may be combined to provide a difference in the strength of the binding force.

In the above-described embodiment, the sports pants are described as an example of the clothes with the crotch portion, but the present invention is also applicable to clothes other than the sports pants. For example, the present invention can be applied to clothes with a crotch portion, such as abdomen-tightening, tights for sports, close-fitting swimwear, sportswear, stockings, and tights.

According to the crotch-equipped garment of the present invention, the movements of muscles necessary for the bending/stretching movement, the inward/outward rotation movement, and the inward/outward rotation movement can be supported by the band-shaped tightening part, and therefore, an excellent effect of supporting the leg movement in a well-balanced manner can be expected.
