Description

 Description Pressing pants Technical field

 The present invention relates to a muscle augmentation device used for muscle augmentation, and more particularly to a muscle suitable for performing a pressurized muscle augmentation method that enables not only a healthy person but also a person having an impaired motor function to efficiently achieve muscle augmentation. Related to augmentation devices. Background of the Invention

 One of the inventors of the present invention has been conducting research for the purpose of developing a muscle strengthening method that can easily, safely, and efficiently enhance muscle, and as a result, has obtained a patent application in 1993. He has filed a patent application for 13949, and has received a patent No. 2670421.

 The muscle-building method according to this patent, which is performed using pressurization, has a unique feature called “pressurized muscle-building method”, which has not been known before. This muscle building method is based on the following theory.

 In general, muscle strengthening refers to the “super-recovery” process in which when muscles are fatigued and muscle cells are destroyed, the muscles return to a state beyond the state before muscle cell destruction in the process of recovery from fatigue. It is done through. Therefore, when strengthening muscles, it is usual to apply a load by exercising with a barbell or the like to increase the amount of exercise. On the other hand, by inhibiting blood flow in the muscle to be augmented, the muscle can be given the same fatigue as when performing a great deal of exercise. Therefore, by inhibiting the blood flow in the muscle, the muscle can be significantly enhanced.

The pressurized muscle augmentation method according to the above patent is based on the theory of muscle augmentation by inhibiting blood flow, and more specifically, a site near the heart that is close to the muscle to be augmented. That is, a tightening force that impedes blood flow is applied to an upper part close to the muscle, and by adjusting the tightening force, blood flow is impeded to the muscle. Therefore, a proper load is applied to the muscles, thereby causing the muscles to be fatigued, and thereby the muscles are efficiently strengthened.

 This method of strengthening muscles is a method of strengthening muscles by applying a load to the muscles due to impaired blood flow, and thus has a major feature that exercise is not required when strengthening muscles. In addition, since this muscle-building method can compensate for the total amount of load exerted on the muscle by applying the load due to blood flow inhibition to the muscle, when combined with exercise, the load due to exercise can be reduced compared to the conventional method. It has the advantage of The advantage is that by reducing the amount of exercise performed by the muscles, the potential for joint and muscle damage is reduced, and the training period is shortened.

 By the way, in order to carry out this muscle building method, it is possible to obstruct the blood flow flowing to the muscle to be strengthened, and also to use a pressurized muscle building that can accurately adjust the tightening force given to the muscle. Equipment is essential.

 Such a pressurized muscle augmentation device is generally configured to include a cord-like or belt-like tightening band. Further, the tightening band of such a pressurized muscle augmenting device has a means for fixing which can maintain a loop shape and a length of the loop.

 Such a pressurized muscle augmentation device is used as follows. That is, a person who performs the pressurized muscle building method passes a predetermined part of the body (for example, an arm or a leg) where the muscle is to be strengthened into a loop created by the band, and the band gives the muscle. Reduce the length of the loop to such an extent that the clamping force is adequate to impede blood flow (tighten) and maintain the length of the loop by the above-mentioned means for securing so that the length of the loop is maintained. Fix the length. Then, the person performing the pressurized muscle building method keeps the state as it is, or exercises while wearing the tightening band. Thereby, the pressurized muscle building method is executed.

 The inventor of the present application has been conducting research on a pressurized muscle augmentation device in order to widely disseminate a method of muscle augmentation by inhibiting blood flow to the public.

In the process, the invention described in Japanese Patent Application No. 1862827 was filed. The present invention relates to a pressurized muscle augmentation device as described above, which is provided with a tubular portion (for example, a train The present invention relates to a pressurized muscle-enhancing garment which is attached to the base of a sleeve of a shirt or the base of a hem of training pants.

 The pressurized muscle-enhancing garment according to the present invention is so simple that a muscle-enhancing method by inhibiting blood flow can be performed simply by wearing it in the same manner as ordinary clothes, This will contribute sufficiently to disseminating the augmentation method widely to the public.

 However, such pressurized muscle building clothing is not without its points of improvement.

 This is due to the fact that when the pressurized muscle augmentation method is performed, it is necessary to accurately adjust the pressure applied to the limbs in order to inhibit blood flow. In the above-mentioned garment, the pressurized muscle augmentation device is integrated with the tubular part that covers the limbs of the clothes, so it is difficult to cope with persons with different limb thicknesses. It may be difficult for even the same person to use a muscle with limbs. Of course, it is possible to cope with these cases by replacing the entire clothes to which the pressurized muscle augmentation device is attached, but the solution by such a method is hardly economical.

 Also, in this garment, since the tightening band was provided outside the cylindrical portion covering the extremities, the tightening band became visible from the outside, and there was a surface lacking fashion. In order to eliminate the above inconveniences, make the belts that can be attached to and detached from clothes so that the belts can be replaced as necessary. Clothes that are hidden from view are also conceivable.

 Clothes that make this belt detachable and hide the belt from the outside are also good, but because the belt is hidden from the outside, it is necessary to reduce or remove the work of tightening and loosening the belt, and applying pressure. It becomes difficult to perform the adjustment operation for adjustment.

Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a garment in which a belt is hidden from the outside, the method of facilitating the attaching / detaching operation of the belt and the operation of adjusting the pressing force, improving the ease of use, and a method of strengthening muscles by obstructing blood flow. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pressurized muscle strengthening device that contributes to widespread public use. Disclosure of the invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a belt used for tightening a predetermined tightening portion of a leg and applying a predetermined pressing force, thereby inhibiting blood flow and strengthening muscles of the leg, and pants. And a trouser body for hiding the belt from the outside. The trousers are detachably configured so that the belt and the trouser body are used in a fixed state when used. By opening a part of the main body, the predetermined tightening portion located inside the main body can be exposed as necessary, and the belt is tightened or loosened with respect to the predetermined tightening portion. Two types of exposures can be performed: an exposure for attachment / detachment for performing attachment / detachment work, and an exposure for adjustment for performing adjustment work for adjusting the pressing force of the belt. One is that, to provide a pressurization pants.

 Trousers whose belt is hidden from the outside by the trouser body can be rotated with the belt tightened without anyone knowing, which can enhance fashionability.

 However, these trousers have a disadvantage that it is difficult to perform the attaching / detaching work and the adjusting work as described above. In this regard, in the pressurizing trousers of the present invention, by opening a part of the sponge main body, the predetermined tightening portion located therein can be exposed as necessary, and Since the attachment / detachment exposure for performing the attachment / detachment work to tighten or loosen the belt with respect to the predetermined fastening portion can be performed, there is no need to turn up the trousers body and perform the attachment / detachment work. The belt can be attached and detached while wearing it. In addition, not only the exposure for attachment and detachment, but also the adjustment exposure for performing the adjustment work for adjusting the pressing force of the belt, the pressing force of the belt during the movement while tightening the belt is provided. If you do not want to adjust the belt, you can open the part of the trousers body to expose the specified tightening site located inside the trousers body, and adjust the belt while wearing the trousers. it can.

 Pressurized muscle augmentation methods are often performed outdoors. According to the pressurized trousers according to the present invention, a predetermined tightening site can be exposed as necessary. It will be easier to work.

The exposure for this adjustment exposure must be such that the adjustment work can be performed. Since it is sufficient, the amount may be small, and may be smaller than the exposure amount of the detachable exposure.

 Further, since the belt and the pants main body in the pressurizing pants are detachable, the belts can be replaced as needed. Also, only the belt and only the trousers can be washed.

 The press pants include a part of the pants body that is opened when the attachment / detachment exposure is performed, and at least one part of the pants body that is opened when the adjustment exposure is performed. You may comprise so that it may be located in the outer part of a trousers main body. With this configuration, the part of the pants main body, which is capable of exposing the predetermined fastening portion, does not hinder the movement.

 Further, a part of the pants body that is opened when the attaching / detaching exposure is performed and a part of the pants body that are opened when the adjusting exposure is performed may be configured as a series. Good. This makes it possible to simplify the structure of the part of the trouser body that allows the predetermined tightening portion to be exposed.

 The part of the trouser body, which is capable of exposing the predetermined tightening portion, is configured such that, by opening the trouser body, the exposing for attaching and detaching and the exposing for adjusting can be performed. Any structure may be used as long as it is provided from the upper side to the lower side of the predetermined tightening portion so that the pressure can be adjusted.

 For example, it is composed of a line fastener having a hook-and-loop fastener (velcro tape), a large number of teeth provided in opposition, and a slider that changes an open state to a closed state or a closed state to an open state by passing by. be able to.

 When a wire fastener is used, a wire fastener that can be opened and closed from either the upper side or the lower side of the predetermined fastening portion can be used. Further, the line fastener may be capable of opening and closing a part thereof from the upper side, and may be capable of opening and closing all of the line fastener from the lower side.

More specifically, the wire fastener is provided from the upper side of the predetermined fastening portion to the end of the hem of the trouser body, and a portion where the wire fastener has passed from the hem side is developed. To be. With this configuration, since the hem is completely cut open by opening all the wire fasteners from the hem side, it is possible to expose the entire leg on the hem side from a predetermined tightening portion, Can be performed more easily.

 The above-mentioned pressurizing pants have a shape that allows the legs to pass through and covers the predetermined tightening portion, and is invisible from the outside by being fixed inside the pants body. An inner and a buckle which is used when fixing the belt to the inner and which is attached to the inner so as to correspond to the predetermined fastening portion. It may be something.

 According to this pressurizing trouser, the leg is allowed to pass therethrough and the predetermined tightening position can be covered, and the inner body fixed to the inside of the trouser body is provided, so that the exposed skin is provided. This makes it easier for the woman to perform the attaching / detaching work or the adjusting work outdoors, especially for women.

 The inner has a shape that allows the legs to pass through and covers the predetermined tightening portion, and is invisible from the outside by being fixed inside the pants body. Any shape and material may be used as long as the spats have elasticity and high heat retention.

 The inner may be fixed to the pants body at the time of use. For example, the fixing of the fastener to the sponge body may be performed by sewing or the like, or may be performed by a hook-and-loop fastener or the like. In the case of the former, the inner and pants are always fixed, so either one is not lost. In the latter case, it is possible to wash only one of them, for example, only the inner that easily absorbs sweat.

According to the pressurizing pants, the belt is used to fix the belt to the inner, and the buckle is attached to the inner so as to correspond to the predetermined tightening portion. By attaching the belt to the buckle, the belt can always be tightened to a predetermined position on the leg, so that pressurization can be performed easily and accurately.

By sliding the sliders 3a and 3b, it can be opened and closed from both the upper side and the hem side. Belt 4 The tightening part for tightening can be exposed if necessary. Further, since the wire fastener 3 is provided from the upper side of the tightening portion of the belt 4 to the end of the hem of the pants body 2, when the sliders 3a and 3b slide from the hem side to the upper side, the slider from the hem side The position where 3a and 3b have passed is expanded.

 In this embodiment, the wire fastener 3 has been described as being provided from the upper side of the predetermined fastening portion of the belt 4 to the end of the hem of the pants body 2. What is necessary is just to be provided from the upper side to the lower side of the predetermined tightening part so that the adjusting work can be performed.

 In addition, the present invention is not limited to the wire fastener 3, but is capable of performing the above-described attaching and detaching exposure and adjusting exposure as described above by opening the fastener, thereby enabling the attaching and detaching work of the belt 4 and the adjusting work of the pressing force. As described above, any structure may be used as long as the structure is provided from the upper side to the lower side of the predetermined fastening portion.

 The inner 5 has a two-piece cylindrical portion through which the legs can pass as shown in Fig. 3, and has a stretchable shape formed of cloth that can cover the specified tightening area for tightening the belt 4. It has spats.

 The inner 5 is fixed to the inside of the pants body 2 by sewing its waist portion to the waist portion of the pants body 2. As shown in Fig. 5, when the wire fastener 3 is closed, it is invisible from the outside.

 In this embodiment, the inner one 5 is described as a stretchable spatter made of cloth. However, as described above, the inner one 5 is not limited to this. Any shape can be used as long as it can cover the predetermined tightening site where the is attached. Further, in this embodiment, the inner 5 is described as being sewn to the trouser body 2, but is not limited to this, and may be any as long as it can be fixed to the trouser body 2 during use.

The buckle 6 is used when the belt 4 is fixed to the inner belt 5, and is attached to the inner belt 5 so as to correspond to a predetermined fastening portion where the belt 4 is attached. In the case of the present embodiment, it is attached to the base end of the tubular portion of the inner 5 and attached to both of the two tubular portions. However, The buckle 6 only needs to be attached to one of the two tubular parts.

 The knob 6 is attached to the outer portion of the inner 5. The attachment position of the buckle 6 is determined so that a person wearing the pressurizing pants can easily attach and detach the belt 4 to the inner 5 when fixing the belt 4 to the pressurizing pants. .

 The buckle 6 in this embodiment has a shape as shown in FIG. FIG. 2 is an enlarged view showing the configuration of the buckle 6. Knockle 6 is a frame-shaped member formed by connecting rod-shaped members in a rectangular shape, and a rod-shaped member extending between substantially two opposing centers of the sides constituting frame 6a. It is configured to include the mounting portion 6b. Further, the inside of the frame portion 6a is divided by the mounting portion 6b, so that two buckles 6 ^ 6c are formed inside the frame portion 6a.

 The attachment part 6b is used when attaching the buckle 6 to the inner one 5. The buckle 6 is attached to the inner 5 via a belt-shaped fixing cloth 8 which is bent in a U-shape and both ends of which are fixed to the inner 5 by sewing or the like. The mounting portion 6b is fixed to the folded portion of the fixing cloth 8 so that the mounting portion 6b is mounted on the inner member 5. In other words, the attachment portion 6b is straddled on the fixing cloth 8, and both ends of the fixing cloth 8 are fixed to the inner 5 in this state, whereby the buckle 6 is fixed to the inner 5. By using the fixing cloth 8 to fix the zipper 6 to the inner 5, the buckle 6 can move a little. This increases the ease with which the belt 4 can be attached and detached. Note that the knocker 6 is such that the belt 4 can be fixed to the inner belt 5, and if the belt 6 is attached to the inner 5 so as to correspond to a predetermined tightening portion, the above-described knocking 6 is performed. It is not limited to the shape.

 Next, the configuration of the belt 4 will be described.

The belt 4 is used by being attached to the buckle 6, as described above. The belt 4 tightens a predetermined part of the body of the user (in this embodiment, the base end of the leg) inside the tubular part of the pants body 2 when the body 1 is worn, and It has a function of appropriately inhibiting blood flow to the legs by applying a predetermined pressurizing force. In this state, you can rest or exercise lightly. A strong method will be implemented.

 The belt 4 is not necessarily required, but is made of an elastic material. The belt 4 can be fixed to the buckle 6 at one end. At one end of the belt 4, the one end of the belt 4 is folded back so that the belt 4 can be fixed to the buckle 6, and the folded one end of the belt 4 is attached to a portion near the other end of the belt 4. A mechanism is provided for securing and forming a loop. More specifically, two hooks 7a are provided at one end of one surface of the belt 4, and two hooks 7b are respectively engaged with the hooks 7a from the other end of the same surface. Are provided respectively. The belt 4 passes one end of the belt 4 from the back side of the buckle 6 in FIG. The hooks 7a and the hooks 7b are fixed to the buckle 6 by folding back so as to straddle the vertical member located at the center line of the inner 5 and engaging with each other. Of the frame 6 a of the buckle 6, the vertically-oriented members located at the center line of the inner 5 pass through the loop formed at one end of the buckle 6, and cannot be pulled out therefrom. 6 and belt 4 are fixed.

 The surface of the belt 4 on which the hooks 7a and 7b are provided is provided with surface fasteners 9a and 9b which are fixed to each other. Of the hook-and-loop fasteners 9 a and 9 b, the hook-and-loop fastener 9 a at one end has a belt 4, and the hook-and-loop fastener 9 b at the other end has a belt 4 so as to approximately follow the loop portion of the belt 4 described later. It is arranged along the part other than the ring to be described later.

 In this state, the main body 1 and the belt 4 are fixed to each other, and become pressurized pants, so that the pressurized muscle strengthening method can be executed.

 When two buckles 6 are attached to the inner 5, the belt 4 may be attached to each buckle 6, or may be attached to only one buckle 6.

 A procedure for performing the pressurized muscle building method using such pressurized pants will be described.

Users who use pressurized pants as shown in Fig. 1 wear pressurized pants as shown in Fig. 1 are doing. In this state, as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the user moves the other end of the belt 4 around the leg so as to make a full turn from behind, and the center of the inner 5 of the two buckle holes 6c Pass it away from the line from the back of Fig. 3 and the top of Fig. 4. Then, the other end of the belt 4 is pulled as it is, and the length of the loop formed by the belt 4 is reduced with the buckle 6 as a starting point and an end point, so that the looped belt 4 is placed inside the inner 5. Tighten the base of a user's leg. At this time, the strength of pulling the other end side of the belt 4 is adjusted so that the tightening force applied to the leg muscles becomes appropriate.

 Next, the other end of the belt 4 is folded back with the vertical member of the frame 6 a of the knocker 6 distant from the center line of the inner 5 serving as a fulcrum, and the hook-and-loop fasteners 9 a and 9 b are fixed to each other. Let it.

 In this state, the length of the ring formed by the belt 4 is kept constant, and the tightening force applied to the leg muscles is kept constant. In this state, the exercise may be rested or light, and the exercise is performed, so that the pressurized muscle enhancement method is executed. By using the pressurizing pants, the pressurized muscle strengthening method can be performed on one leg at a time or on both legs simultaneously.

 To attach the belt 4 to the main body 1, as shown in Fig. 1, slide the sliders 3a and 3b to the upper side of the wire fastener 3, open the wire fastener 3 from the hem side, and the hem is completely cut open. It is performed in the state that it was.

 By doing so, as is clear from FIG. 1, the entire leg on the hem side from the predetermined tightening portion can be exposed, so that the mounting operation can be easily performed. Further, by attaching the belt 4 to the buckle 6, the belt 4 can always be tightened to a predetermined position of the leg, so that pressurization can be performed easily and accurately.

 In this case, if the pressurized muscle strengthening method is to be performed immediately, the belt 4 may be tightened as described above, or after walking to a certain point, the pressurized muscle strengthening method is performed. In such a case, the belt 4 should not be tightened.

In this way, tighten the belt 4 to perform the pressurized muscle strengthening method, or tighten the belt 4. When moving without attaching, as shown in FIG. 5, the line fastener 3 of the trouser body 2 can be closed by sliding the slider 3 b to the end of the hem.

 As is clear from FIG. 5, when the line fastener 3 is in the closed state, the inner one 5, the buckle 6, and the belt 4 are hidden from the outside, which is excellent in terms of fashionability.

 If you want to adjust the pressure of the belt 4 you are wearing, slide the slider 3a to the hem side of the wire fastener 3 as shown in Fig. 6, open the wire fastener 3 of the pants body 2 from above, This operation is performed with the specified tightening site where the belt 4 is tightened exposed.

 Since this adjustment work is often performed outdoors, the adjustment work can be performed with an exposure amount smaller than the exposure amount of the exposure for attaching and detaching the belt 4 shown in FIG.

 In other words, as shown in Fig. 1, it is possible to expose the specified tightening site without exposing the entire leg on the hem side from the specified tightening site, making adjustment work outdoors especially for women. It can be easier to do.

 After performing such adjustment work, as described above, the slider 3a is slid to the upper side to close the wire fastener 3 of the pants body 2, and the pressurized muscle strengthening method is performed again.

 When the belt 4 is removed from the main body 1 or replaced, the sliders 3a and 3b are connected to the wire fastener 3 as shown in FIG. Slide to the upper side, open the wire fastener 3 from the hem side, and perform with the hem completely cut open. As a result, as is clear from FIG. 1, the entire leg on the hem side from the predetermined tightening portion can be exposed, so that the belt can be easily removed.
