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 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 provided with a portion having a relatively strong tightening force 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 the 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.

The sewing line 50 of the clothing body which forms the leg part in a cylindrical shape avoids at least the region on the collateral ligament 3 of the elastic part 121 having 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 elastic part 121 having a strong tightening force. In this way, “not to pass at least the region on the collateral ligament of the strong collateral ligament present on the collateral ligament on the inner side surface of the knee joint” means that the elastic portion of the strong tensing force When passing over the edge of the region on the collateral ligament, 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 strong tightening force without passing over the edge of the region on the collateral ligament. Of course.

  Next, FIG. 118 is a diagram showing an aspect of the position of the sewing line for the present invention, different from the reference aspect shown in FIG. 117, for explaining the position of the sewing line of the clothing body. In FIG. 8, a sewing line of the clothing main body in which the leg portion is formed in a cylindrical shape is entered. That is, FIG. 118 shows one mode in which the sewing line 51 of the clothing body that forms the leg part in a cylindrical shape passes through the outside of the leg part. When the sewing line of the clothing body that forms the leg part in a cylindrical shape passes outside the leg part, at least the side of the elastic part having a strong tightening force present on the collateral ligament on the inner side surface of the knee joint Since it does not pass through the region on the accessory ligament, in principle, the sewing line may pass through any position as long as it is outside the leg. However, if there is a stretchable part with strong tightening force on the outside of the leg part, avoid the area of the stretchable part with strong tightening force, if possible, along the edge of the sewing line. It is preferable to design the sewing line so that the sewing line passes a little away from the region of the stretchable portion having a 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 in the upper portion along one edge of the elastic portion 121 having a strong tightening force. The sewing line 51 is slightly separated from the stretchable part 121 having a strong tightening force from a position where it is lowered from the position 10 by about 1/3 of the overall length of the clothes, and almost passes through the central part on the side of the clothes. Designed.

  Next, FIG. 119 is a view showing a position mode of the sewing line for the present invention, which is further different from the mode shown in FIGS. 117 to 118, for explaining the position of the sewing line of the clothing body. In FIG. 80, the sewing line of the clothing main body in which the legs are formed in a cylindrical shape is entered. That is, FIG. 118 shows another aspect in the case where the sewing line 52 of the clothing body that forms the leg part in a cylindrical shape passes through the outside of the leg part. 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 elastic portion 156 having a strong tightening force. Since the sewing line is along the edge of the elastic part 156 having a strong tightening force, only the sewing line does not appear separately on the clothing and hardly affects the appearance of the clothing, so that the design is not impaired. Have advantages. In particular, when the stretchable part having a 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 it does not impair the design and is common. It is preferable that 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 when the elastic part with strong tightening force passes through the outside of the leg part of the clothing and is almost passed from the upper end to the lower end of the clothing, the tightening is performed. 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 strong stretchable portion because 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, a preferred embodiment of the present invention in which the sewing line of the clothing body does not pass through at least the region on the collateral ligament of the elastic part having strong tightening force existing on the collateral ligament on the inner side surface of the knee joint. If the sewing line of the clothing body passes through at least the area on the inner collateral ligament of the elastic part having a strong tightening force existing on the inner collateral ligament, the elasticity decreases due to the sewing line. By doing, it can prevent that the power which supports an inner side collateral ligament becomes inadequate. Therefore, by adopting a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable that the tightening force of the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force existing on the inner collateral ligament is sufficiently exhibited.

  In the garment of the present invention, as a method for forming the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force, it may be formed by superposing a stretchable fabric of a predetermined shape on the garment body and stitching it together. Alternatively, the garment body may have a predetermined shape. Alternatively, the elastic fabrics may be laminated and bonded together. In particular, according to the former method, durable clothes can be easily manufactured. Of course, the elastic part having a strong tightening force and the other parts may be parts of a predetermined shape, respectively, and they may be joined to form the lower limb support clothing of the present invention, but the sewing becomes complicated, Slightly troublesome.

  In addition, for example, a stretchable portion having a 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 or adhered. These methods are suitable for applying a strong tightening force to the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force.

  Further, the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force may be formed by a method in which the knitted structure of the stretchable fabric constituting the clothing main body is changed to a knitted structure having a stronger tightening force. According to these methods, since it is not necessary to superimpose, the thickness of the elastic part with strong tightening force can be made thinner. In addition, in the definition of the method of forming a stretchable part having a 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 part. And a method of forming a stretchable part having a strong tightening force by making the use density of the elastic fiber larger than other parts. Also by this method, it is not necessary to overlap, so that the thickness of the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force can be further reduced.

  In addition, when a circular knitted fabric or the like is used as the fabric for forming the clothing, the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force can be formed by a cut boss knitting method.

  Among the above-described methods of forming the strong tightening force portion, a method of forming a stretchable fabric of a predetermined shape on a clothing body and stitching the same, 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 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 placed between the front yarn 61 and the back yarn 62 at a portion where the tightening force is to be increased by the cut boss method. Inserted between them, 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 weak, such as the portion between the arrows 64b to 64c, the middle yarn 63 is floated on the back side so that the middle yarn 63 is not inserted between the front yarn 61 and the back yarn 62. Knitting with only the front yarn 61 and the back yarn 62. Next, the middle thread 63 floated on the back side at the arrows 64a, 64b, 64c, and 64d is cut, and the middle thread 63 is inserted into the Z ₁ and Z ₃ portions as shown in FIG. It becomes an elastic part, and the Z ₂ part becomes an elastic part with 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 strong tightening force, and the portion Z ₂ becomes a portion having a weak tightening force.

  In the present invention, as described above, the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force and the stretchable portion having a weak tightening force may be formed only by the cut boss knitting method, but further, by adjusting the stitches within the same course in the circular knitted fabric. Further, a technique for imparting a change in tightening force may be used in combination.

  The tightening force of the stretchable portion having a 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 stretchable part with weak tightening force may exceed 0.3 N, the tightening force may be smaller than the stretchable part with strong tightening force provided in the clothing. .

  When measuring the tightening force of a fabric such as a stretchable portion having a strong tightening force or a stretchable portion having a 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 portion having a strong tightening force in the clothes of the present invention is defined by the existence site, the strength of the tightening force of the material used, the means for forming the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force, the purpose of use of the clothes (for example, the knee of the wearer The degree of joint disorder and the site of the disorder, or the purpose of the prevention of the disorder, the type of sport to be performed, etc.), an adult or a child, etc. Naturally, the width differs depending on the value, so it is difficult to define it generally with numerical values, but it is meaningless if the width is narrow like a line, for example, it is preferably an average width of 2 cm or more, More preferably, the width is 3 cm or more on average. The widest part is usually about 15 cm or less, more preferably about 13 cm or less.

  Of course, as long as the object of the present invention is achieved, the width of the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force may be partially narrowed or widened depending on the region. Absent.

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

  Further, the clothing of the present invention is a polyurethane fiber-containing power net, which is a polyurethane fiber-containing raschel knitted fabric having elasticity in the clothing main body portion and each elastic portion having strong tightening force, and a polyurethane fiber-containing tricot knitted fabric. The polyurethane fiber-containing two-weight ricot knitted fabric, polyurethane fiber-containing circular knitted fabric, etc. can be preferably used, so when compared to conventional supporters using relatively thick pile fabric or neoprene sheet, etc. Can be used, for example, a thickness of about 0.3-0.8mm thickness, so the appearance of the proportions when worn is low, fit well to the body, and relatively breathable Good clothes 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 parts having 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 garment for lower limb support according to the present invention has a stretchable portion having a strong tightening force that supports the medial collateral ligament, and further exists above the medial collateral ligament and extends upward above the knee joint. The power that pulls the elastic part with strong tightening force that supports the engineered bar and supports the medial collateral ligament in the part that extends upwards in this way acts on the medial collateral ligament. The support force is improved, and the elastic muscles with strong tightening force support the sewing muscle that supports the knee joint together with the medial collateral ligament, so the knee is protected from the combined action of both, and the knee joint is protected. Keeping stable, does not significantly reduce the degree of freedom of movement of the knee joint, is comfortable to wear, prevents and reduces knee pain caused by instability of the knee, and further, medial collateral that occurs in sports and others Lower limbs useful for preventing ligament injury It can provide clothing for the port.

  Further, a portion represented by a stretchable portion having a strong tightening force that substantially covers the collateral ligament on the inner side surface of the knee joint of the human body and that is substantially along the sewing muscle and reaches the vicinity of the greater trochanter, By adopting a lower limb support clothing having a strong tightening force extending from the vicinity of the child along the intestinal shin ligament to the vicinity of the waist, the intestinal shin is further formed from the vicinity of the greater trochanter. Because it has a stretchable part with a strong tightening force that extends to the vicinity of the waist along the ligament, the above functions are further strengthened, and the function of holding the greater trochanter is added, and the femoral head and hipbone The function of improving the connection with the mortar and improving the stability of the hip joint is exhibited and preferable.

  Furthermore, from the vicinity of the greater trochanter toward the lower side, it reaches the outer side of the patella substantially along the iliac ligament, covers at least a part of the lower part of the patella, and the outer gastrocnemius and / or By providing a stretchable portion having a strong tightening force that passes through the side of the soleus and having a strong support force for the lower limbs of the present invention, the stretchable portion having a strong tightening force is further provided. Therefore, the knee and the leg can be supported from both sides of the thigh and the lower leg, and the gastrocnemius and / or the soleus can be supported from the side so as not to inhibit the activity of the gastrocnemius and / or the soleus. Further, the function of pressing the greater trochanter is further strengthened, and the function of improving the stability of the hip joint by further improving the connection between the femoral head and the acetabulum is enhanced.

  Further, at least the greater trochanter passing through or near the apex of the bulge of the buttocks along the muscle fiber direction of the gluteal muscle in the middle of the left and right gluteal muscles from any position from the lumbar vertebra to the sacrum on the posterior side of the human body A stretchable part (C) having a strong tightening force covering a part extending to the vicinity and a position on the front side of the human body obliquely downward along the muscle fiber direction of the left and right internal obliques from the position on the rectus abdominis A stretchable body having a strong tightening force by having a stretchable part (D) having a strong tightening force covering the portion facing the greater trochanter in the direction and having a strong tightening force. Since it has the part (C), the gluteal muscle can be firmly supported in the muscle fiber direction. Therefore, it can support the rotational movement of the waist and prevent a decrease in the rotational angle of the waist, and can play a large role in the stability of the pelvis in the front-rear direction, and is effective in preventing falls in the elderly. It can also play a major role in the longitudinal extension of the hip joint when running, jumping, and climbing slopes. Also, because it has (D), it supports part of the rectus abdominis and internal oblique muscles, weakens the anterior bay of the lumbar spine, maintains a good posture, the body looks youthful, low back pain, etc. A function capable of preventing the occurrence of pain is preferably provided.

  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.
