Definitions

  • the present invention relates to wears, in particular, to a wear having an upper body part with good feeling in wearing when a wearer carries out his or her activities.
  • a fabric is provided loosely in advance so that the fabric does not lack when a wearer extends his or her body such as stretching out his or her arm.
  • a fabric having stretchability is used so that the fabric follows the stretch of a wearer's skin or the extension of his or her body.
  • the dimension of a fabric is set in accordance with a state in which a wearer extends his or her body such time as an arm is extended, and thus the side end edge of the wear is long and extra fabric occurs when the wearer assumes a normal position such as lowering the arm, whereby the wearing feeling is unsatisfactory as loose feeling and the like arise and the cumbersome extra fabric inhibits smooth activities.
  • Patent Document 2 uses a fabric having stretchability, and thus reduces the amount of extra fabric and alleviates the loose feeling, and suitably prevents the rise of tightening feeling or shrinkage feeling along the stretching direction of the fabric.
  • the tightening feeling or the shrinkage feeling is not necessarily resolved only by using the fabric having stretchability for the following reasons.
  • the fabric having stretchability stretches in the tension acting direction when tension is applied on a predetermined portion, but the middle part deforms or the fabric loosens in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which tension acts (see FIG. 2(A) ).
  • the fabric configuring the wear continuing in a tubular shape at least at the waistline or the arm line
  • secondary tension acts in a direction orthogonal to the tension acting direction on the surrounding fabric when the fabric deforms, thereby gathering the surrounding fabric.
  • the skin of the wearer is pulled by the gathered fabric, and the wearer still feels the tightening feeling or the shrinkage feeling.
  • the tightening of the fabric is sometimes observed as wrinkles occurring along the stretching direction of the fabric.
  • the wear shown in Patent Document 3 has the stitches formed by sewing the plurality of fabrics, which are arranged along the stretching direction of the fabric.
  • the stitch is the site where the stretchability is small compared to the portion of the adjacent fabrics. Therefore, if the stitches are arranged along the stretching direction of the fabric, the fabric hardly stretches (see FIG. 2(B) ), which causes tightening feeling or shrinkage feeling and extra force to be required to carry out activities, thereby inhibiting smooth activities.
  • the present invention aims to provide a wear that wearers can wear without feeling looseness, tightening or shrinkage, and that allows smooth activities to be performed.
  • US4698849 discloses the preamble of claim 1.
  • the upper body garment according to the present invention is an upper body garment configured using a fabric having stretchability, comprising a side region of a back body part (dorsal surface portion) having a predetermined width from a body side part towards a center in a width direction of a dorsal surface and the side region extending along a vertical direction across an armpit part; an upper linear site and a lower linear site being formed in the side region, the upper linear site and the lower linear site being arranged from each other at intervals in the vertical direction across their entire length while extending in the width direction, and having a stretchability in the width direction being smaller than adjacent portions; an upper region extending from a sleeve part to a shoulder part of the back body part; and an inner linear site and an outer linear site being formed in the upper region, the inner linear site and the outer linear site being arranged from each other at intervals in the width direction across their entire length while extending in the vertical direction, and having a stretchability in the vertical direction being smaller than adjacent portions; the lower linear site and the
  • the following property of the wear when a wearer carries out the activities such as moving the arm becomes high.
  • the skin of the wearer stretches greatly in a region along the vertical direction from the body side of the dorsal surface to the armpit.
  • the side region of the wear is a region corresponding to the region where the stretch of the skin is large, where the fabric of the side region also stretches with the stretch of the skin of the wearer when the wearer carries out the activities of moving the arm.
  • the side region where the fabric stretches is divided into a plurality of portions by the linear site, and the side region stretches by the plurality of portions rather as a whole.
  • This state can also be assumed as a state the tension is shielded at the middle by the linear site. Therefore, the amount the fabric is gathered with the stretch of the fabric from the orthogonal direction thereof can be suppressed small.
  • the wear according to the present invention is given consideration such that the linear site with small stretchability is not arranged along the stretching direction of the fabric, and thus the stretch of the fabric is not unnecessarily limited as in the wear of Patent Document 3. If the linear site is arranged along the predetermined direction, the fabric can be more easily stretched in the stretching direction to the same or greater extent as when the linear site is not arranged. Thus, extra amount of fabric can be suppressed small, and the loose feeling can be alleviated.
  • the skin of the wearer stretches greatly not only in the region along the vertical direction from the body side in the dorsal surface to the armpit but also in the region from the armpit to the arm.
  • the skin of the wearer greatly stretches even in the region from the suprascapular part of the dorsal surface to the arm.
  • the upper region from the sleeve part to the shoulder part at the back body part is a region corresponding to the region where the stretch of the skin is large.
  • the fabric of the wear not only stretches with the stretch of the skin but also stretches with the pulling of the sleeve part when extending the arm.
  • the outer linear site of the upper region extends from an upper end edge to a lower end edge of the sleeve part.
  • the sleeve part is a portion corresponding to a wearer's arm, and as such portion is also a portion the fabric stretches when a wearer carries out activities, the rise of tightening feeling or shrinkage feeling can be more effectively alleviated or suppressed by arranging the linear site at the relevant sleeve part.
  • the upper and lower linear sites are formed near the armpit part in the side region and a portion positioned between the upper and lower linear sites is set with stretchability in the vertical direction larger than adjacent portions.
  • the portion near the armpit part formed with the upper and lower linear sites corresponds to a region under the armpit or a region where the stretch of the skin is particularly large among the regions along the vertical direction from the body side of the dorsal surface to the armpit where the skin of the wearer greatly stretches when performing the activities of moving the arm, and thus the fabric positioned at the portion near the armpit part stretches greatly with the stretch of the skin. Therefore, according to the above configuration, as the portion near the armpit part is divided into a plurality of portions by the upper linear site and the lower linear site, the amount the fabric is gathered with the stretch of the fabric from the orthogonal direction thereof can be suppressed small.
  • the portion positioned between the upper and lower linear sites is configured to have large stretchability in the vertical direction, the fabric can suitably follow the particularly large stretch of the skin. Furthermore, since the two linear sites are arranged close to a narrow region, namely the vicinity of the armpit part, the drawback that "the amount the surrounding fabric is gathered by the portion positioned between the two linear sites is large by setting the stretchability in the vertical direction large” can be suppressed small. Specifically, as the deformation of the fabric in the direction orthogonal to the stretching direction is large the larger the stretchability in the stretching direction, the extent the fabric is gathered from the width direction is also large if the portion positioned between the two linear sites is formed to have large stretchability in the vertical direction.
  • the amount the fabric is gathered is not unnecessarily large by setting the interval (dimension in vertical direction) of the two linear sites small. According to such configuration, the rise of the tightening feeling or the shrinkage feeling can be more effectively alleviated or suppressed.
  • the linear sites are each preferably configured by stitches formed by sewing the fabric. According to such configuration, the linear site of low stretchability can be easily formed by sewing the fabric without arranging a separate member, and the like.
  • the wear of the present invention can be worn by the wearer without feeling looseness, tightening, or shrinkage and enables smooth activities.
  • one of the causes that cause the tightening feeling or the shrinkage feeling is that the stretch of the wear cannot follow the stretch of the skin of the wearer (i.e., stretch of the wear is smaller than the stretch of the skin). Therefore, how the skin of the wearer stretches needs to be understood in designing a wear that can suppress the tightening feeling or the shrinkage feeling. The inventors thus performed various activities and examined the stretch of the skin.
  • the activity of raising the arm (shoulder abduction activity), an activity of bending the arm forward (shoulder horizontal bending activity), an activity of turning the body to the lateral side (trunk lateral-side flexion activity), an activity of bending the body forward (trunk forward bending activity), an activity of bending the body backward (trunk backward bending activity), an activity of bending the elbow (elbow bending activity), an activity of raising only one arm, an activity of swinging the arm, and an activity of twisting the body were carried out for activities of moving the arm.
  • Each of such activities ranges from the basic activity performed in daily life to an activity performed in various sports such as running, soccer, tennis, and golf.
  • the verifying content in the stretch of the skin is to specify the region the skin greatly stretches when a human carries out various activities and to specify the stretching direction (this is assumed as the main stretching direction) over the entire region the skin stretches.
  • a method which involves dividing the skin into a plurality of sections and examining the stretching mode of each section, and thus finding the overall stretching mode based on the stretching mode of every section was adopted.
  • the skin was divided into sections having a square shape of 20 to 30 mm square, a marker was placed at the vertex position of each section, and the change in position of the marker was analyzed with a three-dimensional activities analyzer.
  • the stretch of the skin was found to be basically summarized into two modes through each activity described above. Such two modes appear significantly in two activities, the activities of raising the arm and the activities of bending the arm forward.
  • the stretching mode in the activities of raising the arm and the activities of bending the arm forward are shown in FIGS. 1 .
  • FIG. 1(A) and FIG. 1(B) the stretch of the skin is greater in the region of darker contrasting density.
  • a region 50 where the skin greatly stretches in such activities includes a region 51 along a vertical direction from the body side of the dorsal surface to the armpit, and a region 52 along a longitudinal direction from the armpit to the arm.
  • the main stretching direction in the activities of raising the arm lies along the vertical direction (this is referred to as first main stretching direction A). More specifically, the first main stretching direction A is a direction near the waist and from a site on the inward side in the width direction of the dorsal surface to the armpit and a direction, continuing to the above direction, from the armpit to the front surface of the arm.
  • a region 60 where the skin greatly stretches in the activities of bending the arm forward includes a region 61 along the vertical direction from the body side of the dorsal surface to the armpit, and a region 62 from the upper part of the shoulder to the arm.
  • One of the main stretching directions in the activities of bending the arm forward is the same as the main stretching direction mentioned above (this is referred to as main stretching direction A').
  • Another main stretching direction in the activities of bending the arm forward lies along the width direction of the dorsal surface and the longitudinal direction of the arm (this is referred to as second main stretching direction B). More specifically, the second main stretching direction B is a direction from the lower part of the shoulder bone to the armpit, and a direction, continuing to the above direction, from the armpit to the front surface of the arm.
  • the fabric having stretchability stretches in a tension acting direction when tension is applied to a predetermined portion, and also deforms or loosens in a direction orthogonal to the tension acting direction, which deformation or loosening is more significant towards the middle part.
  • FIG. 2(A) shows a rectangular fabric by way of example, where the middle part of the fabric contracts in a width direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction when tension is applied along the longitudinal direction of the fabric, whereby a portion that lacks in fabric is caused on both sides of the longitudinal direction. With wears, the surrounding fabric gathers to compensate for such portion, which causes the wearer to feel tightening or shrinkage.
  • the stitches SL function as a linear site having smaller stretchability than adjacent portions, and thus the fabric is less likely to stretch even if tension is applied in the longitudinal direction.
  • the fabric is less likely to stretch and the wearer feels tightening with a wear in which the linear site is provided in the stretching direction of the fabric (e.g., wear of Patent Document 2).
  • FIG. 4(A) is for weft knitting and FIG. 4(B) is for tricot.
  • the sample a is indicated with a solid line, the sample c with a broken line, the sample d with a dashed line, the sample e with a double-dashed line, and the sample f with a triple-dashed line.
  • FIG. 5(A) is for weft knitting and FIG. 5(B) is for tricot.
  • Experiment 3 has the same content as Experiment 2 other than that, of the two directions, namely horizontal or vertical directions respectively having different stretching rates, the horizontal direction of larger stretching rate is set as the longitudinal direction of the fabric piece.
  • the linear site is preferably formed in a direction orthogonal to the tension acting direction in a region where the tension is applied.
  • the effects by the component in the width direction are greater than the influence by the component in the longitudinal direction, and thus the stitches may be allowed to tilt by a predetermined angle with respect to the width direction of the fabric piece only in such case.
  • the wear according to the present embodiment is formed based on two standpoints. Describing from the specific configuration of the wear according to the present embodiment, the wear 1 is an upper body wear or a so-called T-shirt, as shown in FIGS. 7 , that is configured using a fabric having stretchability, the wear having a size the same as or a size with slight margin to a wearer's body (e.g., size of about 110%).
  • the wear 1 has a side region 4 of a back body part having a predetermined width from a body side part 2 towards the center in the width direction of the dorsal surface and extending along a vertical direction to the armpit part 3 formed with a linear site S, whose stretchability in a predetermined direction along the width direction is smaller than adjacent portions, along the predetermined direction.
  • the body side part 2 is positioned at a boundary portion of the front body part and the back body part of the wear, and corresponds to the site from the rib towards the armpit of the wearer.
  • the side region 4 of the wear is a region along the body side part 2, and is set in correspondence to the region 50 where the stretching amount of the skin is large when performing the activities of moving the arm.

In other words, the side region 4 is a region of about half on both sides of the back body part.

Therefore, when the activities of moving the arm is performed with the lower part of the wear 1 tucked in the pants, the amount the wear 1 moves up can be suppressed small.

According to such configuration, the rise of tightening feeling or shrinkage feeling can be more effectively alleviated or suppressed.

  • the lift was 8 cm in the Comparative Example 2, which is the conventional wear, and the lift was 4 cm in the Example, which is the wear according to the present embodiment, meaning that the lift is smaller in the wear according to the present embodiment.
  • the subject having a height of 172 cm performed the activities of raising the arm, the change in distance between the uppermost point and the lowermost point of the points was 15 cm.
  • the linear site facing the width direction has a length corresponding to the width of the side region without limitation the preset invention thereto, and it may be formed to run out from the side region (i.e., longer than the width of the side region) as long as it does not enter the upper region. Therefore, it may be formed over the entire width between the left and right body sides (e.g., site near the hip) at the back body part. As the linear site facing the width direction is not formed in the upper region even in such a case, the wearing feeling is not affected when performing the activities of moving the arm.
  • the linear site facing the vertical direction can be similarly recognized and may be formed over the entire length in the vertical direction as long as it is not formed in the side region.
  • the linear site formed at the sleeve part may not extend from the upper end edge to the lower end edge.
  • the linear site is formed near the armpit part in the side region without limitation the present invention thereto, and may be formed at positions on the lower side of the vicinity of the armpit part.
  • the front body part and the back body part are configured by separate fabrics and then sewed together, but it is not limited thereto, and the front body part and the back body part may be continued such that the stitches do not exist at the end edge of the body side part.
  • the linear site is not limited to being formed by stitches as long as it is configured such that the ratio of expansion and contraction is smaller than adjacent portions, and may be formed through a method of joining the member (fabric, resin, etc.) that lowers the ratio of expansion and contraction with respect to the fabric, and the like.
  • a resin and the like may be impregnated to the fabric.
  • the stitches are not limited to being formed by sewing independent separate fabrics, and may be formed by gathering and sewing a single fabric, or the stitches may be simply formed on the fabric instead of sewing the fabric.
  • the wear has been described based on the upper body wear of short-sleeved T-shirt type, but it is not limited thereto, and may be long-sleeved, or may have an upper body part having the above configuration and being integrated with a pants.
