Description

  The present invention relates to a corrective underwear for correcting posture.

  In order to prevent and treat low back pain and stiff shoulders due to deterioration of posture, there are undergarments described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 that have a function of supporting the back.

Shokai 62-160924 Japanese Patent No. 3115816

  However, the undergarments for correction described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 have a function of supporting the back, but do not have a function of supporting the abdomen. For this reason, the burden of gravity was placed on the waist, and sufficient prevention and treatment of back pain could not be achieved.

In underwear with body fabric made of elastic material and strong tightening part,
A first strong tightening portion is provided from the vicinity of the left chest of the underwear to the vicinity of the hem. The first strong tightening portion is wider in the vicinity of the hem than the other portions, and from the vicinity of the right chest of the underwear. A second strong tightening portion is provided in the vicinity of the hem, and the second strong tightening portion is wider in the vicinity of the hem than the other portions, and the first strong tightening portion and the second strong tightening portion. A third cross section is provided at the lower part of the undergarment to form a superposition part, and on the dorsal side of the undergarment, from the trapezius muscle below the right shoulder through a part of the spine erectal muscle to the vicinity of the left waist. A tightening portion is provided, and a fourth strong tightening portion is provided from the trapezius muscle below the left shoulder through a part of the spine erectal muscle to the vicinity of the right waist, and the third strong tightening portion and the fourth strong tightening portion The section provides posture correction underwear that intersects at approximately the center of the back.

  Further, the first strong tightening portion, the second strong tightening portion, the third strong tightening portion, and the fourth strong tightening portion are all made of the same material as the body fabric of the corrective undergarment. An orthodontic undergarment provided by sewing on a fabric is provided.

  According to the invention described in claim 1, while pressing the rectus abdominis muscle, the force is applied to the upper body muscle above the rectus abdominis muscle, and the back trapezius muscle and the spine standing muscle are supported to reduce the burden. It can prevent and treat back pain and shoulder pain. According to the invention of claim 2, since the same material is used for the body cloth and the strong tightening portion, it can be easily manufactured at low cost and the tightening force can be easily adjusted.

It is a front view of 1st Example of this invention. It is a rear view of 1st Example of this invention. It is a simplified side view showing the effect | action of this invention. It is the partial muscle figure which showed a part of muscle seen from the human body side. It is the partial muscle figure which showed a part of muscle seen from the human body rear side. It is the partial musculoskeletal figure which showed a part of muscle and skeleton seen from the human body back side. It is a front view of 2nd Example of this invention. It is a simplified side view showing the effect | action of a prior art example.

  Before describing the embodiment of the present invention, the position of the muscular human body used to describe the position of the strong tightening portion will be described.

  The rectus abdominis muscle is a part indicated by 101 in FIG. 4 and is one of the abdominal muscles that run in the front abdominal wall among the abdominal muscles. It is a muscle that supports the upper body, is involved in flexion, rotation and lateral bending of the trunk, and also contributes to breathing. In FIG. 4, the rectus abdominis muscle on the left side of the body is shown, but it also exists at the symmetrical position on the right side of the body. The trapezius muscle is a portion indicated by 102 in FIG. 5 and is a muscle on the top layer of a human back. In FIG. 5, the trapezius muscle on the left side of the body is shown, but is also present in the symmetrical position on the right side of the body. The spine standing muscle is a portion indicated by 103 in FIG. 6, and is a muscle located on the back side of the spinal column among the long back muscles. In FIG. 6, the spine standing muscle on the left side of the body is shown, but is also present at the symmetrical position on the right side of the body.

  FIG. 1 shows a body shaper 1 that is an embodiment of the present invention. The body shaper 1 has a front body 2 and a back body 3 made of the same stretchable material sewn at the side, and the body fabric portions 12 and 13 and the strong tightening portions (21, 22, 31, 32) and a pair. Cup part 4 and a pair of straps 5.

    The front body 2 is provided with a first strong tightening portion 21 and a second strong tightening portion 22. The first strong tightening portion 21 and the second strong tightening portion 22 have stronger tightening force than the body cloth portion 12 of the front body 2.

  The first strong tightening portion 21 is made of the same material as that of the front body 2 from the vicinity of the left chest (the portion that hits the cup portion 4 on the right side in FIG. 1 when worn) to the vicinity of the hem 6. It is provided by sewing. As shown in FIG. 1, the first strong tightening portion 21 becomes wider as it approaches the skirt 6.

  Here, the vicinity means a range in which the object of the present invention can be achieved and the effects of the present invention can be achieved even if the position or the position is slightly shifted.

  The second strong tightening portion 22 is made of the same material as that of the front body 2 from the vicinity of the right chest (the portion that hits the cup portion 4 on the left side of FIG. 1 when worn) to the vicinity of the hem 6. It is provided by sewing. The second strong tightening portion 22 has a substantially bilaterally symmetric shape with the first strong tightening portion 21 and is sewn on the lower portion of the body shaper 1 so as to overlap with the first strong tightening portion 21. The superposition | polymerization part 23 is comprised. As shown in FIG. 1, the strong tightening portion provided in the front body 2 is substantially V-shaped.

  The overlapping portion 23 is located in the vicinity of the rectus abdominis muscle 101 when worn. Further, the overlapping portion 23 has a stronger tightening force than the portions other than the overlapping portion 23 of the first strong tightening portion 21 and the second strong tightening portion 22, and holds the rectus abdominal muscle 101 to the upper body. Has the effect of lifting up. This operation will be described with reference to FIGS. When the overlapping portion 23 pushes the rectus abdominis muscle 101, it works in each direction other than the direction in which the force is pushed. This is the same principle that when one part of a balloon is pressed, the part other than the balloon is inflated. Thereby, the force which pushes the rectus abdominis muscle 101 works also on the upper body muscle on the rectus abdominis muscle, and the burden by the gravity to a spine can be reduced. On the other hand, the conventional undergarment shown in FIG. 8 has no effect of pressing the rectus abdominis muscle and places a burden on the waist.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the back body 3 is provided with a third strong tightening portion 31 and a fourth strong tightening portion 32. The third strong tightening portion 31 and the fourth strong tightening portion 32 have stronger tightening force than the body cloth portion 13 of the back body 3.

  The third strong tightening portion 31 has a linear shape with the same width extending from the trapezius muscle 102 below the right shoulder to a portion near the left hip through a part of the spinal column standing muscle 103, and has the same expansion and contraction as the back body 3. It is provided by sewing a sex cloth on the back side (skin side) of the back body 3. In the present embodiment, as described above, the front body 2 and the back body 3 are made of the same stretchable material.

  The fourth strong tightening portion 32 has a straight shape of the same width extending from the trapezius muscle 102 below the left shoulder through a part of the spine erecting muscle 103 to the vicinity of the right waist, and has the same stretchability as the back body 3. It is provided by sewing the fabric on the back side (skin side) of the back body 3.

  In order to keep the posture correct, the functions of the standing spine muscle 103 and the trapezius muscle 102 are important. When it becomes a leaning posture and becomes a so-called stoop, the standing spine muscles 103 are stretched and tense, and fatigue accumulates, causing pain in the spine and pelvis, causing stiff shoulders and back pain. The trapezius muscle 102 is a muscle that starts from the occipital region and is on the surface layer of the back from the clavicle, and has a role of not only extending the back muscles but also maintaining a correct posture. The trapezius muscle 102 is the muscle most deeply involved in the stiff shoulders. When the posture is lost, the shoulder position moves forward, fatigue accumulates in the trapezius muscle 102, and stiff shoulders easily occur.

  The third strong tightening portion 31 and the fourth strong tightening portion 32 intersect each other substantially at the center of the back and have a substantially X shape. As a result, the trapezius muscle 102 and the spine standing muscle 103 are appropriately supported, and the posture of leaning forward is prevented. Therefore, it leads to the prevention and treatment of back pain and shoulder stiffness.

  As described above, in the present invention, not only the back muscles are supported, but also the abdominal muscles (stratus abdominis) are lifted up and the back muscles (trapezius and spine standing muscles) are supported in synergy. Since the posture is corrected, a further posture correction effect can be obtained as compared with the conventional underwear.

  In the present invention, the stretchable material of the front body 2 and the back body 3, the first strong tightening portion 21, the second strong tightening portion 22, the third strong tightening portion 31, and the fourth strong tightening portion. Since the stretchable material sewn on each of 32 is the same material, it can be manufactured at low cost and the adjustment of the tightening force is easy.

  In the present embodiment, the width of the first strong tightening portion 21 and the second strong tightening portion 22 is approximately between 3 cm and 13 cm, and the third strong tightening portion 31 and the fourth strong tightening portion. The width of 32 is approximately 6 cm, but is not limited to this, and may be in a range that exhibits the same effects as the present invention.

  In the present embodiment, the first strong tightening portion 21 and the second strong tightening portion 22 become wider as they approach the skirt 6, but the first strong tightening portion 21 and the second strong tightening portion 22. However, the shape is not limited to this. In the vicinity of the hem 6, it is only necessary to be wider than other portions of the first strong tightening portion 21 and the second strong tightening portion 22. For example, the first strong tightening portion 21 may have the same width from the vicinity of the left chest to the middle of the skirt 6, and may be wide from there to the hem 6. That is, when the overlapping portion 23 is positioned in the vicinity of the rectus abdominis muscle 101 and is worn up and lifts the upper body when worn, the first strong tightening portion 21 and the second strong tightening portion 22 are used. The shape of can be any way.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the third strong tightening portion 31 and the fourth strong tightening portion 32 are linear shapes having the same width, but are not limited to this shape. A part or all of the muscles may be curved as long as they support the muscles of the back (the trapezius and the spine standing muscle).

  Although the said Example demonstrated based on the body shaper 1, this invention is not restricted to this, It can apply also to other underwear. For example, the present invention can also be applied to shirt-type underwear shown in FIG. Reference numeral 7 denotes a shirt made of a stretchable material. The front body 8 is provided with a first strong tightening portion 81, a second strong tightening portion 82, and a superposition portion 83. The first strong tightening portion 81 and the second strong tightening portion 82 are provided by sewing the same elastic material as the front body 8 on the back side (skin side) of the front body 8. Although a rear view of the shirt 7 is omitted, strong tightening portions similar to the X-shaped strong tightening portions 31 and 32 shown in FIG.

  The first strong tightening portion 81 and the second strong tightening portion 82, the overlapping portion 83, and the third strong tightening portion and the fourth strong tightening portion (not shown) of the second embodiment are the same as those of the body shaper 1 of the first embodiment. Since the shape is the same as each strong tightening portion and the same function, the description is omitted, but the shirt 7 can also exhibit the same functions and effects as the body shaper 1.

  In the above embodiment, the body shaper and the shirt have been described. However, the present invention is not limited to these, and it is naturally applicable to other underwear. Moreover, in the said Example, although the front body and the back body are manufactured with the same raw material, you may manufacture with a different raw material. Furthermore, although the first strong tightening portion and the second strong tightening portion are provided by sewing the same material as the front body, it is needless to say that different materials may be sewn. The third strong tightening portion and the fourth strong tightening portion are provided by sewing the same material as that of the back body. However, different materials may be sewn.

  In the above-described embodiment, the strong tightening portion is provided by sewing the stretchable fabric to the front and back body fabrics, but the tightening force may be increased by changing the knitting.

  The stretchable material used in the present invention is not particularly limited, but preferably includes a polyurethane fiber-containing power net that is a polyurethane fiber-containing raschel knitted fabric having stretchability, and a polyurethane fiber-containing tricot knitted fabric. A two-weight ricott knitting is good. Examples of the power net include a plain power net, a satin power net, a two-way russell, and triskin (registered trademark).
