Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to tights, which are often used for various sports, by providing a protective pad on the waist of the tights to reduce stress on the waist and prevent breakdown of the waist. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in athletics and other various sports, tights made of stretchable fabric have been widely used for the purpose of keeping heat and supporting the entire lower limbs. In addition, a wide variety of cloth bands having elastic rubber or the like built-in have been disclosed as abdominal bands for back pain, health maintenance or for pregnant women.

[0003]

In recent years, various athletes often wear tights made of elastic cloth for the purpose of keeping the lower limbs warm and supporting them. on the other hand,
Athletes often wear waist supporter belts mainly made of elastic rubber for the purpose of preventing failure of the lower back and increasing the abdominal pressure by increasing the abdominal pressure to improve motor function. However, there are some athletes who use both the tights and the waist supporter belt together. In this case, the tights and the waist supporter belt are formed separately, and if they are to be worn, first, after wearing the tights and the jacket such as the T-shirt, the upper end of the waist portion of the tights is worn. In general, the lumbar support belt is wound around and locked near the abdomen.

However, since the tights and the supporter belt are formed separately, the supporter belt slides up as the athlete continues to exercise, and a gap is formed between the lower edge of the belt and the waist of the tights. There was an inconvenience that it happened. As a result, the outer garment is wrinkled in the gaps, and the lower edge of the belt pushes down the waist of the tights, which exposes the waist and is extremely uncomfortable. Also, not only do you feel uncomfortable, but you may experience a decline in motor function,
In some cases, the lumbar region became cold, causing a malfunction.

Further, most conventional supporter belts press the lumbar region flatly, and although it can be expected to increase the internal pressure of the abdomen, it directly acts on the latissimus dorsi.
Nothing capable of reducing stress on the spine and lower back has been disclosed.

Therefore, in addition to eliminating the discomfort of the waist,
There has been a demand for tights that can prevent the failure of the lower back and directly act on the latissimus dorsi to reduce stress on the spine and lower back.

[0007]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is configured as follows. That is, the tights according to the present invention are tights made of a stretchable fabric, and have a back plate portion including a plate-shaped core material on the back side of the waist portion, and the inside of the back plate portion is an inner side. A plurality of protection pads protruding toward are installed, hard plates are installed outside the back plate corresponding to the installation site of the protection pad, and from the left and right ends of the back plate to the abdomen of the waist. The tights are characterized in that they have an extended belt and are provided with a locking tool that removably locks both end portions of the belt. The protection pad may be divided and arranged in the body length direction. Further, in order to improve the heat retaining performance of the waist portion, it is possible to dispose a heat retaining member on the entire inner surface of the back plate portion.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The tights according to the present invention are carried out by the following method. The tights body is formed using a stretchable cloth such as a conventionally known two-way tricot.

On the back side of the waist of the tights body,
The back plate is fixed. The back plate portion is made of a polyurethane sheet or the like, and the back plate portion cut into a substantially outer shape is used as a plate-shaped core material. The plate-shaped core material is used mainly for the purpose of retaining the shape of the back plate, and does not need to be so rigid. It is reasonably deformed along the curve of the waist when tightened with a belt described later. Those having the flexibility to perform are preferable. Inside the back plate portion, a plurality of protective pads that are divided in the body length direction and project inward are installed. The protective pad is preferably made of polyurethane sponge and has a relatively thick thickness of about 10 to 20 mm. On the outside of the back plate portion and outside the plate-shaped core material, in order to hold the pressure received by the protection pad from the waist of the player without letting it escape to the outside, in correspondence with the installation site of the protection pad. A hard plate is installed.
The hard plate is made of a synthetic resin having relatively high rigidity such as nylon or polyurethane, or a thin plate made of various kinds of metal, and can be formed in a shape that substantially matches the bottom shape of the protection pad. Inside the plate-shaped core material, the protection pads are arranged side by side symmetrically with respect to the centerline in the body length direction, and at the site outside the plate-shaped core material corresponding to the installation site of the protection pad. Place a hard plate. In this way, the protective pad, the plate-shaped core material and the hard plate are arranged, and the outer material is laminated from the inner side and the outer side of the back plate portion, along the peripheral portions of the protective pad and the hard plate and the peripheral portion of the back plate portion main body. Sew and integrate. As another embodiment, it is also possible to cut a polyurethane sponge having an appropriate thickness into a predetermined shape, set it in a mold, and temporarily form the protective pad and the plate-shaped core material by a thermoforming method. It is also possible to set the outer material and the hard plate together with the polyurethane sponge in a mold and form the entire back plate part at once by a thermoforming method (heat fusion method).

The tights have belts extending from the left and right ends of the back plate to the abdomen of the waist. The belt can be formed from a wide flat rubber string, a rubber sheet, or other elastic material that does not easily deteriorate due to repeated expansion and contraction. It is also possible to do so. The belt is fastened to the left and right ends of the back plate, and the width of the both ends and the width of the belt are matched so that the tightening force of the belt extends over the entire back plate. When the width of both ends of the back plate is wide, a plurality of belts may be fastened at the both ends, and the belts may be gathered together and extended to the abdomen on the way. The belts fixed to both ends of the back plate extend to the abdomen of the waist, and both ends of the belt are provided with locking tools that are detachably locked. The locking tool can be appropriately selected from those conventionally used for locking the belt, such as buckles and surface fasteners. When extending the belt from both ends of the back plate to the abdomen, in order to prevent the back surface of the belt from coming into direct contact with the skin, the belt is made of elastic material, and is slightly wider than the belt, It is also possible to wrap the cloth extending from one end to the other end through the abdomen of the waist around the waist of the tights body.

Further, in the tights according to the present invention, in order to improve the heat retaining performance of the waist portion, it is possible to dispose a heat retaining member on the entire inner surface of the back plate portion. The heat insulating member is a natural fiber or synthetic fiber such as cotton, feather, wool, polyester cotton, polynosic cotton, etc., which has excellent heat insulating property, has hygroscopicity, has heat generating property, and has heat-retaining property. It is possible to appropriately select from conventionally known heat retaining members. Further, in order to prevent stuffiness of the back plate portion, it is possible to use a mesh material for the outer material or to provide ventilation holes in each member forming the back plate portion.

(Embodiment 1) An embodiment of the tights according to the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 is carried out by the following method. The tights body 1 shown in FIG. 1 is formed of a stretchable cloth such as a conventionally known two-way tricot, and is formed so as to fit the lower limbs of a player without waste. In addition to having elasticity, depending on the function required for the sport used, those that have heat retention, those that are highly breathable, those that are not breathable, those that are fast drying Etc., which can be appropriately selected from the conventionally used materials. Although the present embodiment shows the long type tights up to the ankle, the present invention can be applied to the short type up to the knee and the three-quarter length tights.

As shown in FIG. 2, a back plate portion 2 is fixed to the back side of the waist portion 4 of the tights body 1. As shown in FIG. 5, the back plate 2 uses a polyurethane sheet cut into a substantially outer shape of the back plate 2 as a plate-shaped core member 8. The plate-shaped core material 8 is mainly used for the purpose of retaining the shape of the back plate portion 2, and does not need to be so hard, and the thickness of 2 mm was used. For this reason, when tightened with the belt 5, it is reasonably deformed along the curve of the waist,
Can be fitted. Inside the back plate portion 2, a plurality of protection pads 7 that are divided in the body length direction and project inward are installed. The protective pad 7 has a thickness of 10 m.
Although m polyurethane sponge was used, the thickness is determined so that it protrudes inward by about 10 mm or more in the state where it is arranged in the back plate portion 2. On the outer side of the back plate portion 2 and the outer side of the plate-shaped core member 8, the protection pad 7 is installed for the purpose of holding the pressure that the protection pad 7 receives from the waist of the player without letting it escape to the outside. The hard plate 3 is installed in accordance with. In this embodiment, the hard plate 3
Is a nylon plate having a thickness of 3 mm, has a higher rigidity than the protection pad 7 and the plate-shaped core material 8, and is a rectangle extending in the body length direction so as to substantially match the bottom shape of the protection pad 7. Formed into a shape. Therefore, although it flexes moderately in the body length direction to fit the shape of the waist, the pressure applied to the protection pad 7 can be retained without being released.

Inside the plate-shaped core member 4, four protection pads 7 are arranged side by side symmetrically with respect to the center line in the body length direction. The protective pads 7 are arranged so that they can be pressed firmly near the lower end of the latissimus dorsi of the athlete, but the inner two are placed about 40 mm apart so that they do not directly contact the spine. The hard plate 3 is arranged outside the plate-shaped core member 8 at a portion corresponding to the installation portion of the protection pad 7. In this way, the protective pad 7, the plate-shaped core material 8 and the hard plate 3 are arranged, and the outer material 9 is applied from the inside and the outside of the back plate portion 2.
Are laminated and sewn along the peripheral portions of the protection pad 7 and the hard plate 3 and the peripheral portion of the main body of the back plate portion 2 to be integrated.
The outer material 9 is sewn to the plate-shaped core material at 8,
Since it has a function of fixing the protective pad 7 and the hard plate 3 to the plate-shaped core material 8, a cloth having elasticity and excellent wear resistance is suitable, but even the cloth used for the tights body 1 is suitable. I do not care.

A belt 5 made of elastic material is provided extending from the left and right ends of the back plate 2 to the abdomen of the waist 4. In this embodiment, a flat rubber belt having a width of 50 mm is used as the belt 5. The belt 5 is sewn to the left and right ends of the back plate 2, and the widths of the both ends and the width of the belt are matched so that the tightening force of the belt is applied to the entire back plate 2.
In this embodiment, since the width of both ends of the back plate portion 2 is wide, the two flat rubber belts are sewn at the both ends, and the two flat rubber belts are sewn together on the way and extended to the abdomen. The belts 5 fixed to both ends of the back plate portion 2 are extended to the abdominal portion of the waist portion 4, and the both ends of the belt 5 are provided with locking tools 6 that are detachably locked. In this embodiment, a hook-and-loop fastener is used for the locking tool 6, but it can be appropriately selected from those conventionally used for locking the belt, such as buckles and hooks.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the belt 5 is extended from the back plate portion 2 to the abdominal portion, the loop 11 can be provided at an appropriate position on the waist portion 4 so that the belt 5 does not shift up and down. is there. Further, when the belt 5 is extended from both ends of the back plate portion 2 to the abdomen, it is made of a stretchable fabric to prevent the back surface of the belt 5 from coming into direct contact with the skin, and is slightly wider than the belt 5. Then, a cloth (not shown) that extends from one of the ends of the back plate 2 to the other of the ends through the abdomen of the waist 4 is applied to the waist 4 of the tights body 1.
It is also possible to install around.

Since the tights according to the present invention improve the heat retaining performance of the waist, it is possible to dispose the heat retaining member 10 on the entire inner surface of the back plate 2 as shown in FIG. The heat insulating member 10 is a natural fiber or a synthetic fiber such as cotton, feather, wool, polyester cotton, polynosic cotton, etc., which has excellent heat insulating property, has hygroscopicity, has exothermic property, and has heat storage property. It is possible to appropriately select from conventionally known heat insulating members.

(Embodiment 2) In another embodiment according to the present invention shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the back plate portion 2 has a short length in the body length direction.
