Description

  The present invention relates to a lower limb support clothing having a crotch portion, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a stretchable lower limb support clothing having a stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force at a specific portion.

  The knee is the most troublesome part of orthopedics, such as the muscles and ligaments that support the knee with aging, and knee injury caused by sports.

  In recent years, in order to treat and protect knee injuries, it is often performed to tap necessary parts of the human body or wear corsets.

  However, it is difficult to apply taping by yourself, and it is necessary to have other people tap it, but it is not possible for an amateur to tap, so it is necessary to have an expert tap it one by one. Inconvenient. In addition, there are problems such as being unable to wear for a long time and possibly causing skin problems. In addition, the knee joint is fixed, and the degree of freedom of movement of the knee joint is considerably reduced. On the other hand, when the corset is used, since the patella is not sufficiently free, the degree of freedom of movement of the knee joint is also considerably reduced.

  In recent years, various clothes that support specific muscles have been proposed. (See Patent Documents 1 to 6 below).

As a clothing having such a muscle support function, a clothing having a relatively strong tightening portion on the muscle to be supported or on the side of the muscle is usually used.
JP-A-4-343868 JP-A-4-57902 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-50302 JP-A-8-81807 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-241906 JP-A-10-280209

  However, the clothes having the muscle support function are not designed with a focus on the protection of the knee.

  Humans tend to try to erect just by standing. That is, the leg is applied with a force to bend inwardly with the inner side of the knee joint as the apex, and the collateral ligament on the inner side of the knee joint (hereinafter referred to as the inner collateral ligament) has more tension. It depends. The medial collateral ligament is covered and protected by the lower tendon portion of the sewed muscle, semi-tendon-like muscle, semi-membranous muscle and thin muscle. However, when these muscles become fatigued or muscle strength decreases due to aging, the ligament alone cannot endure and the knee becomes unstable.

  By the way, until now, there has been little study on clothing for supporting and supporting the inner collateral ligament of the knee joint of the human body. However, among knee joint diseases, medial collateral ligament injury is a statistically significant disease. Therefore, it was found that the medial collateral ligament should be studied mainly in order to ensure the freedom of movement of the knee and to provide sufficient knee support.

  The medial collateral ligament is present on the medial side of the knee joint and slightly behind the medial side of the knee joint so as to connect the vicinity of the lower end of the femur and the vicinity of the upper end of the tibia. An outer collateral ligament exists on the outer side surface of the knee joint opposite to the inner collateral ligament, and exists in a shape that connects the vicinity of the lower end of the femur and the vicinity of the upper end of the radius on the outer side surface of the knee joint. However, the lateral collateral ligament disease is considerably less than the medial collateral ligament disease, and there are many medial collateral ligament diseases. The reason for this is that the inner side collateral ligament has a lower tensile strength than the outer side collateral ligament, and the elongation until rupture is also small. That is, the inner collateral ligament is inferior to the outer collateral ligament in toughness and elasticity.

  As described above, the medial collateral ligament is covered with the lower tendon portion of the sartorius muscle, semi-tendonoid muscle, semi-membranous muscle, or thin muscle, and slightly on the inner side of the knee joint. Since it exists behind the back, no proposals for muscle support clothing have so far been found that specifically addressed the support of the medial collateral ligament.

  Therefore, the present inventors examined the support of the medial collateral ligament mainly to protect the knee more efficiently, keep the knee joint stable, and not reduce the degree of freedom of movement of the knee joint so much. To provide clothing for lower limb support that has a good wearing feeling and is useful for the prevention and reduction of knee pain caused by instability of the knee, as well as the prevention of medial collateral ligament damage caused by sports and others. It is the purpose.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides the following limb support clothing.

Garment of this embodiment is a garment of variations of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 93 96, in garment of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 93 96, relatively tightening force strong elastic section (A ² 1) This is an aspect in which 121a and a stretchable part (B ² ) 124a having a relatively strong tightening force are in contact with each other below the patella. Therefore, the description of the same parts as those shown in FIGS. 93 to 96 is omitted by giving the same reference numerals in the drawings.

  The points other than the above are substantially the same as those of the embodiment shown in FIGS.

  That is, the apex of the convex part 4 of the lower part of the patella 1 of the elastic part 121a having a relatively strong tightening force and the part 14 of the lower part of the patella 1 of the elastic part 124a having a relatively strong tightening force. The apex of the convex portion is in contact under the patella 1. 93 to 96 can perform the same function as the lower limb support clothing, and the portions indicated by 4 and 14 are in contact with each other, so that the position of the end portion of the clothing under the knee is stably in the lower knee. It stays and is less likely to break down.

  Next, FIGS. 113 to 116 are views showing still another reference embodiment of a semi-long tights type lower limb support clothing of a reference example, FIG. 113 is a rear view thereof, FIG. 114 is a front view thereof, FIG. 115 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA ′ of FIG. 114, and FIG. 116 is a right side view thereof.

Garment of this embodiment is an embodiment of the garment of deformation mode shown in FIG. 109 to view 112, the garment of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 109 to view 112, relatively tightening force strong elastic section (A ² 1) In this embodiment, the stretchable part (B ² ) 124a with a relatively strong tightening force 121a is in contact with the lower side of the patella so that it is not a point contact but is slightly wider. Therefore, the description of the same parts as those shown in FIGS. 109 to 112 is omitted by giving the same reference numerals in the drawings.

  That is, a part 4 of the lower part of the patella 1 of the elastic part 121 a having a relatively strong tightening force and a part 14 of the lower part of the patella 1 of the elastic part 124 a having a relatively strong tightening force are formed on the patella 1. It is connected at the bottom and supports the knee from the left and right and below. Therefore, the same function as the lower limb support clothing of FIGS. 109 to 112 can be exhibited, and the function of supporting the knee from below is slightly strengthened.

  In the case of this embodiment, in order to form a stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force, a stretchable fabric of a predetermined shape is overlapped on the clothing body and stitched to form a relatively long stretch. The connection between the part 4 of the lower part of the patella 1 of the elastic part 121a having a strong tightening force and the part 14 of the lower part of the patella 1 of the elastic part 124a having a relatively strong tightening force is relatively strong. A stretchable portion 121a having a relatively strong tightening force and a stretchable portion 124a having a relatively strong tightening force may be formed from a single continuous cloth, and a single piece of cloth in which these portions are connected in advance may be used. The stretchable portion 121a having a strong tension and the stretchable portion 124a having a relatively strong tightening force are made of separate fabrics, and the portions indicated by 4 and 14 of the separate fabrics are overlapped and stitched to form a connecting portion. May be formed.

  As described above, some embodiments of the semi-long tights-type lower limb support clothing have been described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the various long tights-type lower limbs illustrated above. The support clothing can be applied as a semi-long tights type with a design in which the lower part is cut from below the knee.

  In addition, as long as the object of the present invention is not hindered, it is not excluded at all that the semi-long tights-type lower limb support clothing is designed so that an upper body portion is further added as necessary. Or, in the garment for supporting the lower limbs of the heel length according to the present invention, it is not excluded at all that a cloth that crosses the sole and connects both hem ends is provided as necessary.

  In the long tights type or semi-long tights type leg support clothing of the present invention, at least on the collateral ligament of the elastic part having a relatively strong tightening force existing on the collateral ligament on the inner side surface of the knee joint. It is preferable that the sewing line of the clothing body does not pass through this area.

  That is, in both the long tights type and the semi-long tights type clothes of the present invention, it is necessary to form a part covering the leg part in a cylindrical shape, but to form the leg part in a cylindrical shape. For example, a technique of rounding a flat fabric into a cylindrical shape and stitching one edge and the other edge of the fabric is used. In the case where the fabric is made into a cylindrical shape by stitching as described above, in the conventional method, the stitching line is generally sewn so as to pass through the inside of the leg portion.

  In the present invention, such a sewing line is designed so as not to pass through at least the region on the collateral ligament of the elastic part having a relatively strong tightening force existing on the collateral ligament on the inner side surface of the knee joint. It is preferable. In order to facilitate understanding, the sewing line of the clothing main body in which the leg portion is formed in a cylindrical shape will be described with reference to the above-mentioned few drawings with specific examples.

  FIG. 117 is a drawing in which a sewing line of a clothing main body in which legs are formed in a cylindrical shape is entered in the drawing of FIG. That is, FIG. 117 shows an aspect in the case where the sewing line 50 of the clothing body that forms the leg part in a cylindrical shape passes through the inside of the leg part. The sewing line 50 of the clothing body that forms the leg part in a cylindrical shape is an area on at least the collateral ligament 3 of the elastic part 121 having a relatively strong tightening force existing on the collateral ligament 3 on the inner side surface of the knee joint. It is designed to pass over a part of the edge of the stretchable part 121 having a relatively strong tightening force. As described above, “not to pass at least the region on the collateral ligament of the elastic part having a relatively strong tightening force existing on the collateral ligament on the inner side surface of the knee joint” means that the relatively strong tightening force is maintained. When passing over the edge of the region on the collateral ligament of the stretchable part, it is used in an acceptable meaning. Of course, the sewing line may pass through a position slightly away from the region on the collateral ligament of the elastic part having a relatively strong tightening force without passing over the edge of the region on the collateral ligament. It is natural.

Next, FIG. 118 is a diagram showing a mode different from the mode shown in FIG. 117 for explaining the position of the sewing line of the clothing main body. In FIG. The sewing line of the clothing body to be formed is entered. That is, FIG. 118 shows an aspect in the case where the entire sewing line 51 of the clothing body that forms the leg portion in a cylindrical shape passes through the outside of the leg portion. When the entire sewing line of the clothing body that forms the leg part in a cylindrical shape passes through the outside of the leg part, the elastic part of the relatively strong tightening force existing on the collateral ligament on the inner side surface of the knee joint Since it does not pass through at least the region on the collateral ligament, in principle, such a sewing line may pass through any position outside the leg. However, if there is any elastic part with a relatively strong tightening force on the outside of the leg part, avoid the area of the elastic part with a relatively strong tightening force, if possible, on the edge. It is preferable that a sewing line is provided along the sewing line or that the sewing line passes through a position slightly away from the stretchable region having a relatively strong tightening force. In the example shown in FIG. 118, the sewing line 51 of the clothing main body in which the leg portion is formed in a cylindrical shape is provided along one edge of the stretchable portion 121 having a relatively strong tightening force in the upper portion. The sewing line 51 is slightly separated from the elastic part 121 having a relatively strong tightening force from a position lowering about 1/3 of the overall length of the clothes from the waist position 10, and is almost in the middle of the side of the clothes. Designed to pass through.

Next, FIG. 119 is a view showing another embodiment different from the embodiment shown in FIGS. 117 to 118 for explaining the position of the sewing line of the clothing main body. The sewing line of the clothing main body which forms a cylinder shape is entered. That is, FIG. 118 shows another aspect in the case where the entire sewing line 52 of the clothing body that forms the leg portion in a cylindrical shape passes through the outside of the leg portion. In the example shown in FIG. 118, the sewing line 52 of the clothing body that forms the leg portion in a cylindrical shape is provided along the rear edge of the stretchable portion 156 having a relatively strong tightening force. When sewing, since the sewing line is along the edge of the elastic part 156 having a relatively strong tightening force, only the sewing line does not appear separately on the clothing and the appearance of the clothing is difficult to be affected. It has the advantage of not being. In particular, when the stretchable part having a relatively strong tightening force is constituted by a patch cloth, this sewing point is also a sewing point between the patch cloth and the clothing body cloth, so that the design is not impaired. Such a common sewing location is preferable because the lower limb support clothing of the present invention can be made with a small number of sewing locations. The above example is an example, but in this way, when the stretchable part with relatively strong tightening force passes through the outside of the leg part of the clothing, when it passes almost from the upper end to the lower end of the clothing, etc. In addition, it is preferable to provide a sewing line for the clothing main body in which the leg portion is formed in a cylindrical shape along the edge of the stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force in view of the above-described advantages.

  As mentioned above, although the sewing line of the clothing main body in the case of sewing a leg part in a cylinder shape was demonstrated giving a few specific examples, in this invention, it is not limited to the above-illustrated specific example.

  As described above, the sewing line of the clothing body does not pass through at least the region on the collateral ligament of the elastic part having a relatively strong tightening force existing on the collateral ligament on the inner side surface of the knee joint. By adopting a preferred embodiment, when the sewing line of the clothing main body passes through at least the region on the inner collateral ligament of the stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force existing on the inner collateral ligament, It can prevent that the power which supports an inner side collateral ligament becomes inadequate by a stretching property falling. Therefore, by adopting a preferable aspect of the present invention, it is preferable that the tightening force of the stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force existing on the inner collateral ligament is sufficiently exhibited.

  In the clothing of the present invention, as a method for forming the stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force, a stretchable fabric having a predetermined shape may be superimposed on the clothing body and stitched. In particular, according to this method, a durable garment can be easily manufactured. Of course, the elastic part having a relatively strong tightening force and the other part may be formed into parts of a predetermined shape, and the parts may be joined to form the lower limb support clothing of the present invention, but sewing is complicated. It takes a little more work.

  In addition, for example, the stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force may be formed by a method in which stretchable fabric having a predetermined shape is stretched on the clothing body, overlapped, and stitched. These methods are suitable for applying a strong tightening force to the stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force.

  Further, as a reference method, there is a method of forming a stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force by a method in which the knitted structure of the stretchable fabric constituting the clothing main body is made a knitted structure having a stronger tightening force. According to these methods, since it is not necessary to superimpose, the thickness of the stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force can be made thinner. In addition, in the definition of the method of forming the stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force by switching the knitting structure as described above, among the fiber materials constituting the clothing body, the elastic fiber is thicker than the other portions. A method of using elastic fibers and a method of forming a stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force by making the use density of elastic fibers larger than other portions are also included. This method also eliminates the need for superposition, so that the thickness of the stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force can be made thinner.

  As another reference method, when a circular knitted fabric or the like is used as the fabric for forming the clothes, a stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force can be formed by a cut boss knitting method.

  Among the methods of forming the strong tightening force portion described above, a method of forming a stretchable fabric of a predetermined shape on a clothing body and stitching it together, and a stretchable fabric of a predetermined shape stretched on the clothing body And easy to sew. In addition, according to these methods, the tightening force of the stretchable fabric sewn to the clothing body may be slightly smaller, the same or larger than the tightening force of the stretchable fabric of the clothing body. This is because, as a result of the stretchable fabric being superimposed on the clothing body, the tightening force of the overlapped portion is increased. The amount of tightening fabric to be stacked may be appropriately selected depending on the type of clothing, the purpose of use, the wearer's preference, and the like.

  For ease of understanding, a method for forming a stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force by the above-described cut boss knitting method will be described below with reference to FIGS. 120 to 122.

  120 to 121 are cross-sectional conceptual process diagrams for explaining a cut boss knitting method in circular knitting. The side indicated by the dotted arrow A is the front side of the circular knitted fabric, and the side indicated by the dotted arrow B is the back side of the circular knitted fabric.

First, as shown in FIG. 120, when the front yarn 61 and the back yarn 62 are supplied and knitted by the circular knitting machine, the middle yarn 63 is attached to the portion where the tightening force is relatively strong by the cut boss method. 62, the front yarn 61, the middle yarn 63 and the back yarn 62 are supplied together and knitted by a circular knitting machine. This portion is between the arrows 64a and 64b and between the arrows 64c and 64d (the middle thread 63 is shown by a one-dot chain line for easy understanding). Then, in the portion corresponding to the portion where the tightening force is relatively weak, such as the portion between the arrows 64b to 64c, the middle yarn 63 is placed on the back side so that the middle yarn 63 is not inserted between the front yarn 61 and the back yarn 62. Float and knit with front yarn 61 and back yarn 62 only. Then cut the intermediate thread 63 floated on the back side at the arrows 64a, 64b, 64c, 64d, and Z ₁ and Z ₃ portions middle thread 63 as shown in FIG. 120 has not been inserted, relatively tightening force The Z ₂ portion becomes a stretchable portion having a relatively weak tightening force knitted with only the front yarn 1 and the back yarn 2.

In FIG. 122, the cross-sectional conceptual diagram of the circular knitted fabric obtained by the above-mentioned cut boss knitting method was shown. 61a is the front side of the circular knitted fabric in which the front yarn 61 appears, 62a is the back side of the circular knitted fabric in which the back yarn 62 appears, 63a is a reinforcing layer composed of the middle yarn 63, Z ₁ and Z ₃ The portion becomes a stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force, and the portion Z ₂ becomes a portion having a relatively weak tightening force.

  In the present invention, as described above, the stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force and the stretchable portion having a relatively weak tightening force may be formed only by the cut boss knitting method. A method of imparting a change in tightening force by adjusting each time may be used in combination.

  The tightening force of the stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force is not particularly limited, but it is preferably designed so as to have a tightening force of approximately 0.3 N to 4 N in the length direction. In such a tightening force range, the function of the present invention is effectively exhibited, and the feeling of wearing is good and preferable without feeling too tight. Even if the tightening force of the elastic part having a relatively weak tightening force exceeds 0.3 N, the tightening force is higher than that of the elastic part having a relatively strong tightening force provided in the clothing. If it is small, there is no problem.

  When measuring the tightening force of a fabric such as a stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force or a stretchable portion having a relatively weak tightening force, the following tensile test is performed.

  Create a test piece with a width of 2.5 cm and a length of 16.0 cm so that the material warp direction (wel direction) is the length direction of the test piece. Grab. The upper grip length is 2.5 cm and the lower grip length is 3.5 cm. Therefore, the grip interval is 10.0 cm and attached to a constant speed extension type tensile tester (Shimadzu "Autograph" AG-500D). 30 The specimen is stretched to 80% elongation at a rate of ± 2 cm / min. At this time, the stress applied to the test piece at the time of elongation of 30% is recorded, and this is applied to the test piece which is stretched (unit N), [1 gf≈0.0098 N] and then extended to 80% of elongation. When the stress is removed, the test piece shrinks to return to the original length, but the stress applied to the test piece when the elongation is restored to 30% is defined as a tightening force (unit N). These values are set so as to be automatically recorded by the tensile tester. For both the extension force and the tightening force, these data were obtained as the average value of the two test pieces, which were taken as the extension force and the tightening force, respectively.

  Here, the elongation (%) means that the length of the fabric in the stretched state in the stretched state is d, and the original length of the sample before stretching (that is, the gripping interval) is e [(de). / E] × 100.

  It should be noted that the size of the test piece is preferably used when measuring the stretching force and the tightening force, but when a sample having such a size cannot be cut out from the clothing to be measured. Can be smaller. However, since the measurement error increases as the sample size decreases, it is preferable to collect and measure as large a sample as possible within the cutout range.

  The width of the stretchable part having a relatively strong tightening force in the clothes of the present invention is the presence site, the strength of the tightening force of the material used, the means for forming the stretchable part having a relatively strong tightening force, the purpose of use of the clothes (for example, The degree of injury of the knee joint of the wearer, the site of the injury, the purpose of preventing injury, the type of sport to be performed, etc.), whether it is an adult or a child, etc. In addition, since the width naturally varies depending on the part, it is difficult to define it with a numerical value. However, it is meaningless if the width is narrow, such as a linear shape. For example, the average width is 2 cm or more. It is preferable that the average width is 3 cm or more. The widest part is usually about 15 cm or less, more preferably about 13 cm or less.

  Of course, within the range in which the object of the present invention is achieved, the width of the stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force may be partially narrowed or widened depending on the part. There is no problem.

  In the present invention, the elastic part having a relatively strong tightening force for supporting the muscles described in various ways is provided mainly in a direction substantially along the fiber direction of the muscles and ligaments, except for special details. By adopting such an embodiment, it is possible to promote muscle contraction and ligament function without inhibiting the function of muscle and ligament, which is preferable.

  In addition, the clothes of the present invention include a polyurethane fiber-containing power net which is a polyurethane fiber-containing raschel knitted fabric having elasticity in the clothes main body part and each elastic part having a relatively strong tightening force, Tricot knitted fabrics such as polyurethane fiber-containing two-weight ricot knitted fabrics and polyurethane fiber-containing circular knitted fabrics can be preferably used, making ordinary clothing compared to conventional supporters using relatively thick pile fabrics or neoprene sheets. Can be used, for example, about 0.3-0.8mm thick, so the appearance of the proportions when worn is small, fit well to the body, and breathable Relatively good clothing can be provided. Examples of the power net include a plain power net, a satin power net, a two-way russell, “Triskin” (trademark of Tobe Co., Ltd.), and the like.

  Further, the tightening forces of the stretchable portions having relatively strong tightening forces do not have to be the same, and may be different depending on the part.

  There are no particular restrictions on the types of fiber yarns that make up the fabric of the clothing, including various synthetic fiber yarns such as polyester and nylon, natural fiber yarns such as cotton, wool, and silk, and rayon. Elastic fiber yarns typified by semi-synthetic fiber yarns, polyurethane fiber yarns, etc., or yarns consisting of mixed fibers in which at least two kinds of these fibers are mixed, covering yarns, water-absorbing quick-drying yarns, and other processed yarns Various fiber yarns can be used.

  When using elastic yarns, yarns made only of elastic fibers may be used, but depending on the purpose, water-absorbing quick-drying yarns, synthetic fiber yarns excellent in water repellency, or natural yarns may be used. It is more preferable to use an elastic yarn covered with another fiber such as a fiber yarn.

  The clothing of the present invention provides clothing for supporting the lower limbs that can exhibit the following functions.

  That is, the leg support clothing of the present invention is stretchable and has a crotch portion that supports the lower limb portion that is worn in close contact with the body, and the clothing has a relatively strong stretching force. The elastic portion having a tender portion and having a relatively strong tightening force substantially covers the collateral ligament on the inner side surface of the human knee joint, and is provided along the sewing muscle above the knee joint. The elastic part has a relatively strong tightening force.

  Accordingly, in the lower limb support clothing of the present invention, the elastic part having a relatively strong tightening force supports the medial collateral ligament, and further above the medial collateral ligament above the knee joint. Since it supports the extending sewing muscle, the power that pulls the elastic part with relatively strong tightening force that supports the medial collateral ligament in the part extending upward like this acts, The support force of the medial collateral ligament is improved, and the elastic muscle with relatively strong tightening force supports the sewing muscle that supports the knee joint together with the medial collateral ligament. Protects the knee, keeps the knee joint stable, does not significantly reduce the freedom of movement of the knee joint, has a good wearing feeling, prevents or reduces knee pain caused by instability of the knee, and further Medial collateral toughness in sports, etc In the prevention of damage it can provide useful leg portions support a garment.

  In addition, it supports the sewing muscle, and there is a stretchable part with a relatively strong tightening force spirally from the thigh to the greater trochanter from the inside to the outside, so it supports the inner collateral ligament The power for pulling the stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force is further strengthened, and a lower limb support clothing having improved support force of the inner collateral ligament can be provided. Furthermore, it is possible to support the sewing muscle that assists the function of the medial collateral ligament.

  In addition, the portion represented by the stretchable portion having a relatively strong tightening force is a lower limb support clothing of a preferred embodiment of the present invention that further extends from the vicinity of the greater trochanter to the waist along the intestinal shin ligament. Further, the above function is further strengthened, and a function of pressing the greater trochanter is given, and the function of improving the connection between the femoral head and the acetabulum and improving the stability of the hip joint is exhibited.

  As described above, the lower limb support clothing of the present invention efficiently protects the knee, such as long-type sports tights and semi-long type sports tights, keeps the knee joint stable, and prevents movement of the knee joint. It is useful as a lower limb support garment that does not decrease the degree of freedom and has a good wearing feeling, and is useful for prevention and reduction of knee pain and the like, and prevention of medial collateral ligament damage caused by sports and others.
