Description

  The present invention relates to a garment such as a shirt or tights that can appropriately protect a wearer's muscles and ligaments, or can help increase muscle strength by applying an appropriate load to the wearer's muscles.

  At a nursing care site, a caregiver routinely performs work that involves physical fatigue, such as raising the cared person's body from a bed or holding it up. For this reason, many caregivers hurt muscles and ligaments. In addition, when the caregiver is weak, the cared person's body cannot be moved as expected, and it may be difficult to move the cared person's body a little.

  In view of such a situation, care clothes for the purpose of protecting a wearer's body part have been proposed. For example, Patent Literature 1 describes trousers that can tighten a wearer's waist. Thereby, it is supposed that the burden concerning a wearer's waist can be reduced.

  However, the trousers of Patent Document 1 have not been able to protect body parts other than the waist. In work in nursing care, not only the waist, but also multiple body parts such as arms and legs, abdominal muscles and back muscles are burdened, so care clothing should appropriately reduce the burden on these multiple body parts. Is required.

  By the way, in clothing for sports, not clothing for nursing care, one in which a linear resistance line is formed along the anterior tibialis muscle, gluteus medius or quadriceps of the wearer has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 2). Thereby, it becomes possible to protect muscles and prevent obstacles such as meat separation.

  However, the garment of Patent Document 2 can protect only the so-called surface muscles that exist near the body surface, and cannot protect the deep muscles that exist underneath. . For example, the anterior tibialis muscle, the gluteus medius muscle, and the quadriceps muscle are all superficial muscles, and there are deep muscles such as short adductor muscles, long adductor muscles and major adductor muscles below them. doing.

  In order to better protect the wearer's body, it is necessary to protect not only the surface muscles but also the deep muscles, but no clothing that meets these requirements has been found.

  In the past, clothing that can train the body by intentionally applying a load to the wearer's muscles to promote energy consumption has also been proposed (for example, Patent Document 3). However, even in this type of clothing, there has been no product that can effectively train the surface and deep muscles.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and can appropriately protect not only the surface muscles existing near the body surface but also the deep muscles existing below the surface muscles. It is intended to provide a garment that can alleviate the burden on the body of the wearer and can train the muscular strength by deliberately applying a load to each of the surface and deep muscles of the wearer.

  The above-mentioned problem is a garment in which a reinforcement portion is provided in a portion along the wearer's muscle or ligament in the body covering ground, a reinforcement portion (reinforcing portion α) for reinforcing a certain muscle or ligament, and reinforcement A reinforcing portion for reinforcing other muscles or ligaments that overlap the muscles or ligaments that the portion α reinforces (reinforced portions β) is arranged to overlap, and the reinforcing portions α and the reinforcing portions β are at least at their respective ends. The problem is solved by providing a garment characterized in that it is separated from each other in parts other than the part.

  This makes it possible to protect or train not only the surface layer muscles that are close to the body surface, but also the deep layer muscles that exist below the surface layer muscles. Further, when the overlapping portions of the reinforcing portion α and the reinforcing portion β are fixed to each other, the reinforcing portion α and the reinforcing portion β strongly interfere with each other, and the muscle or ligament reinforced by the reinforcing portion α and the reinforcing portion β There is a risk that the muscle or ligament to be reinforced will not be properly protected or trained, but reinforcement is achieved by separating the overlapping portions of the reinforcing portion α and the reinforcing portion β from each other like the garment of the present invention. The muscle or ligament reinforced by the part α and the muscle or ligament reinforced by the reinforcing part β can be protected or trained independently. This configuration is particularly effective when the muscle or ligament reinforced by the reinforcing portion α intersects with the muscle or ligament reinforced by the reinforcing portion β.

  Here, the “muscle” is a concept including not only the muscle belly at the center but also the root portion (tendon) that connects both ends of the muscle belly to the bone. Further, “the reinforcing portion α and the reinforcing portion β are separated from each other at least at the portions other than the respective end portions” means that the portion of the reinforcing portion α that overlaps the muscle or the base portion of the ligament and the muscle of the reinforcing portion β Except for the portion overlapping the root portion of the ligament, the reinforcing portion α and the reinforcing portion β are not fixed to each other and can be expanded and contracted independently.

  In the garment of the present invention, the reinforcing part α and the reinforcing part β are fixed to a common body covering (for example, both ends of the reinforcing part β are fixed to the same body covering as the one where the reinforcing part α is fixed. Further, the reinforcing portion β may be straddled above the reinforcing portion α. However, in this case, there is a possibility that a problem such as twisting of a portion floating from the body covering ground in the reinforcing portion α or the reinforcing portion β may occur.

  For this reason, it is preferable to comprise a body covering place with the 1st covering place with which the reinforcement part (alpha) was integrated, and the 2nd covering place with which the reinforcement part (beta) was united and overlapped with the first covering place. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the reinforcement part α and the reinforcement part β from being twisted while the reinforcement part α and the reinforcement part β are expanded and contracted independently.

  In this case, the first coated ground and the second coated ground may be in a state of being overlapped without being fixed to each other, but it is preferable to be fixed to each other at a part thereof. Thus, by fixing the first covering ground and the second covering ground to each other, the position of the reinforcing portion β with respect to the reinforcing portion α can be accurately set. In addition, it is possible to wear clothing only once.

  The place where the first covering ground and the second covering ground are fixed is not particularly limited as long as it is other than the portion where the reinforcing portion α and the reinforcing portion β overlap (excluding the respective end portions), but the end portion of the reinforcing portion α. Alternatively, it is preferable to fix each other at the end portion of the reinforcing portion β. Thereby, even if the first covering ground and the second covering ground are fixed to each other, the reinforcing portion α and the reinforcing portion β can be expanded and contracted independently.

  In the garment of the present invention, the reinforcing part in the body covering ground and the part other than the reinforcing part in the body covering ground (referred to as a non-reinforcing part) may have an elongation rate of the reinforcing part smaller than that of the non-reinforcing part. For example, the formation method is not particularly limited. For example, a method in which another fabric is overlapped and fixed on the body-covered ground, the portion where the other fabric overlaps is used as a reinforcing portion, and the other portion is a non-reinforcing portion, or a portion that becomes a reinforcing portion in the body-covered ground And a method of switching with another fabric having a smaller elongation rate than the non-reinforced portion.

  However, in order to reduce the weight and improve the strength of clothing, the body covering fabric is formed by knitted fabric or woven fabric, and the knitting or weaving method of the reinforcing part in the body covering fabric and the knitting method or weaving method in the non-reinforcing part Switching between and is preferable. This not only reduces the weight of the garment by forming the reinforcing part thin, but also makes it possible to form the reinforced part and the non-reinforcing part in a seamless state, thereby improving the strength of the garment. .

  As described above, when the body covering ground is constituted by the first covering ground and the second covering ground, the first covering ground and the second covering ground are formed by knitted fabric or woven fabric, Switching between the knitting or weaving method of the reinforcing portion α and the knitting or weaving method of the portion other than the reinforcing portion α (referred to as the non-reinforcing portion α ′) in the first covering fabric, and non-reinforcing rather than the elongation rate of the reinforcing portion α While increasing the elongation rate of the portion α ′, the method of knitting or weaving the reinforcing portion β in the second covering fabric and the method of knitting the portion other than the reinforcing portion β (referred to as the non-reinforcing portion β ′) in the second covering fabric or It is preferable to switch the weaving method so that the elongation rate of the non-reinforcing portion β ′ is higher than the elongation rate of the reinforcing portion β.

  Here, “switching between the knitting method or weaving method of the reinforcing part and the knitting method or weaving method in the non-reinforcing part” means that the reinforcing part and the non-reinforcing part are the knitted or woven structure, the size of the eyes, and the use This refers to switching the thread type and thickness. The “elongation rate” refers to an elongation rate (%) at constant load measured according to the constant load method defined in “JIS L 1018”.

  By the way, there is no particular limitation on how much the elongation rate of the reinforcing portion and the elongation rate of the non-reinforcing portion are set. However, if the elongation rate of the reinforcing part is too small, there is a risk that an excessive load is applied to the muscles and ligaments. If the elongation rate of the reinforcing part is too large, the effect of reinforcing the muscles and ligaments may be reduced. is there. Also, if the elongation rate of the non-reinforcing part is too small, the wearer may feel a feeling of pressure when wearing clothing, and if the elongation rate of the non-reinforcing part is too large, the non-reinforcing part will grow too much. Therefore, the desired effect may not be achieved. For this reason, the elongation rate of the reinforced portion and the elongation rate of the non-reinforced portion are appropriately determined in consideration of these points.

  In particular, when the body covering ground is constituted by the first covering ground and the second covering ground, the elongation percentage of the reinforcing portion α in the first covering ground is set to 110 to 200%, and other than the reinforcing portion α in the first covering ground. The elongation rate of the portion (referred to as non-reinforced portion α ′) is larger than the elongation rate of the reinforced portion α and not more than 300%, and the elongation rate of the reinforced portion β in the second covering ground is 110 to 200%. It is preferable that the elongation rate of the portion other than the reinforcing portion β (referred to as the non-reinforcing portion β ′) in the two covered grounds is larger than the elongation rate of the reinforcing portion β and not more than 300%.

  In the garment of the present invention, the place where the reinforcing portion α and the reinforcing portion β are provided is not particularly limited as long as it is a portion along the wearer's muscle or ligament. Specifically, the subhyoid muscle reinforcing portion for reinforcing the subhyoid muscle (sternal thyroid muscle, thyroid hyoid muscle, scapulohyoid muscle or thyroid levator muscle) of the reinforcing portion α and the reinforcing portion β. To reinforce the greater pectoral muscle, to reinforce the lateral abdominal muscles, to reinforce the lateral abdominal muscles, to reinforce the biceps brachii muscles, to reinforce the long palmar muscles Long palmar muscle reinforcement, short adductor reinforcement to reinforce short adductor, long adductor reinforcement to reinforce long adductor, Ouchi to reinforce large adductor Trochanteric reinforcement part, biceps femoris reinforcement part to reinforce the biceps femoris, semi-tendon-like muscle reinforcement part to reinforce the semi-tendonoid muscle, peroneus muscle reinforcement part to reinforce the radial muscle, small Small rhombus reinforcement for reinforcing rhombus, large rhomboid reinforcement for reinforcing rhomboid, cervical muscle reinforcement for reinforcing cervical muscle, and supraspinatus Supraspinatus Reinforcement part, subspinous muscle reinforcement part to reinforce the subspinous muscle, small circular muscle reinforcement part to reinforce the small circular muscle, triceps brachial muscle reinforcement part to reinforce the triceps brachii muscle, spinal column standing muscle Spine upright muscle reinforcement to reinforce the soleus, soleus muscle reinforcement to reinforce the soleus muscle, sternocleidomastoid muscle reinforcement to reinforce the sternocleidomastoid muscle, deltoid muscle reinforcement to reinforce the deltoid muscle , The rectus abdominis muscle reinforcement part for reinforcing the rectus abdominis muscle, the external abdominal oblique muscle reinforcement part for reinforcing the external oblique muscle, the ulnar carpal flexor reinforcement part for reinforcing the ulnar carpal flexor, Reinforce the lateral carpal flexor reinforcement to reinforce the lateral carpal flexor, the sewing muscle reinforcement to reinforce the sewing muscle, and the gluteus medius (mid gluteus, gluteal muscle or thigh fascia intestinal muscle) Gluteal muscle reinforcement, quadriceps reinforcement for medial quadriceps (inner vastus lateralis, rectus femoris, lateral vastus muscle or intermediate vastus), medial gastrocnemius Medial gastrocnemius muscle reinforcement to reinforce, patella reinforcement reinforcement to reinforce the patella retinaculum, anterior tibial muscle reinforcement to reinforce the anterior tibial muscle, trapezius muscle reinforcement to reinforce the trapezius muscle Preferably, at least one set of reinforcing portions arranged to overlap each other is selected from a wide back muscle reinforcing portion for reinforcing the latissimus dorsi and a lateral calf muscle reinforcing portion for reinforcing the outer head and gastrocnemius muscle.

  As described above, according to the present invention, not only superficial muscles that are close to the body surface but also deep muscles that are underneath can be appropriately protected, reducing the burden on the wearer's body. It is possible to provide a garment that can intentionally load each of the surface muscle and the deep muscle of the wearer and train the muscle strength.

  A preferred embodiment of the garment of the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing a first covering 100 in the garment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a rear view showing the first covering 100 in the garment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a front view showing the second covering place 200 in the garment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a rear view showing the second covering place 200 in the garment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a front view showing a garment 300 of the present invention (a state in which the first covering land 100 of FIG. 1 and the second covering land 200 of FIG. 3 are overlapped). FIG. 6 is a rear view showing the garment 300 of the present invention (a state in which the first covering ground 100 of FIG. 2 and the second covering ground 200 of FIG. 4 are overlapped).

  The garment 300 of the present invention can be suitably used as an upper garment such as a shirt or a lower garment such as tights. The length of the sleeve of the upper garment and the length of the hem of the lower garment are preferably longer in consideration of protecting or training the muscles and ligaments of the arms and legs as a whole. It can be shortened according to the application. In consideration of overall protection and training of the wearer's whole body muscles and ligaments, the garment 300 according to the present invention is a combination of upper and lower separated tights combined with an upper garment and a lower garment, or a combination thereof. It is also preferable to use top and bottom tights.

  The upper and lower separation type tights have the advantage of being easy to wear, but in addition to the fact that the hem of the upper garment rises upward and the lower garment tends to slide downward when worn, In addition, there is a drawback that it is difficult to suitably protect or train muscles that exist across the upper and lower body of the wearer. On the other hand, top-and-bottom tights have the disadvantage of being difficult to wear, but in addition to the difficulty of drowning the upper and lower garments when worn, they are also suitable for protecting or training the muscles that straddle the upper and lower body of the wearer There is an advantage that you can. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the garment 300 according to the present embodiment is a top-and-bottom tights in which a long-sleeve upper garment and a long hem lower garment are integrated.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the garment 300 according to the present embodiment includes reinforcing portions 151 to 160 and 170 to the portions along the muscles or ligaments of the wearer in the first covering ground 100 and the second covering ground 200. 178, 250 to 262, 270 to 272 are provided. Among the reinforcing portions 151-160, 170-178, 250-262, 270-272, the reinforcing portions 151-160, 170-178 (reinforcing portion α) for reinforcing a certain muscle or ligament and the reinforcing portion α are reinforced. Reinforcing portions 250 to 262 and 270 to 272 (reinforcing portions β) for reinforcing other muscles or ligaments that overlap with the muscles or ligaments that are to be overlapped are arranged at various points. The reinforcing portion α and the reinforcing portion β are separated from each other at least at portions other than the respective end portions, and can be expanded and contracted independently.

  The place where the reinforcing portion α (reinforcing portions 151 to 160, 170 to 178) and the reinforcing portion β (reinforcing portions 250 to 262, 270 to 272) are provided is a portion along the muscle or ligament of the wearer, and the reinforcing portion α is There is no particular limitation as long as the muscle or ligament to be reinforced and the muscle or ligament to be reinforced by the reinforcing portion β are arranged to overlap each other.

  In the garment 300 of the present embodiment, the reinforcing portion α reinforces the subhyoid muscle (stereothyroid muscle, thyroid hyoid muscle, scapulohyoid muscle or thyroid levator muscle) as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. A subhyoid muscle reinforcing portion 150 for reinforcing the pectoralis major muscle, a pectoralis major muscle reinforcing portion 151 for reinforcing the greater pectoral muscle, a transverse abdominal muscle reinforcing portion 152 for reinforcing the transverse abdominal muscle, and a biceps brachii muscle The biceps reinforcement 153, the long palm reinforcement 154 for reinforcing the long palm, the short adduct reinforcement 155 for reinforcing the short adductor, and the long adductor A long adductor reinforcement 156 for reinforcing the greater adductor muscle, a greater adductor reinforcement 157 for reinforcing the greater adductor, a biceps femoris reinforcement 158 for reinforcing the biceps femoris, A semi-tendon-like muscle reinforcing part 159 for reinforcing muscles, a radius muscle reinforcing part 160 for reinforcing radial muscles, and a small part for reinforcing small rhomboid muscles A striated muscle reinforcing portion 170, a rhomboid muscle reinforcing portion 171 for reinforcing the rhomboid muscle, a cervical muscle reinforcing portion 172 for reinforcing the cervical muscle, and a spine for reinforcing the supraspinatus Upper muscle reinforcing portion 173, subspinous muscle reinforcing portion 174 for reinforcing the subspinous muscle, small circular muscle reinforcing portion 175 for reinforcing the small circular muscle, and upper arm three for reinforcing the triceps It comprises a head muscle reinforcing portion 176, a spine standing muscle reinforcing portion 177 for reinforcing the spine standing muscle, and a soleus muscle reinforcing portion 178 for reinforcing the soleus muscle.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the reinforcing portion β includes a sternocleidomastoid muscle reinforcing portion 250 for reinforcing the sternocleidomastoid muscle, a triangular muscle reinforcing portion 251 for reinforcing the deltoid muscle, and a rectus abdominis muscle. The rectus abdominis muscle reinforcing part 252 for reinforcing the outer abdominal oblique muscle, the outer abdominal oblique muscle reinforcement part 253 for reinforcing the outer abdominal oblique muscle, the ulnar carpal flexor reinforcement part 254 for reinforcing the ulnar carpal flexor The carpal flexor reinforcement part 255 for reinforcing the carpal flexor, the sewing muscle reinforcement part 256 for reinforcing the sewing muscle, and the gluteal muscle (the gluteus medius muscle, the gluteus medius muscle, the thigh fascia intestinal muscle) Gluteal muscle reinforcement part 257, quadriceps reinforcement part 258 for reinforcing quadriceps (inner vastus lateralis, rectus femoris muscle, lateral vastus muscle or intermediate vastus muscle), patella for reinforcing patella Reinforcing part 259, medial gastrocnemius reinforcing part 260 for reinforcing the medial gastrocnemius muscle, patella for reinforcing the patella support band Band reinforcing part 261, anterior tibial muscle reinforcing part 262 for reinforcing the anterior tibialis muscle, trapezius muscle reinforcing part 270 for reinforcing the trapezius muscle, latissimus dorsi muscle reinforcing part 271 for reinforcing the latissimus dorsi muscle, lateral head The outer gastrocnemius muscle reinforcing part 272 is used to reinforce the gastrocnemius muscle.

  The muscles reinforced by the reinforcement part β are all surface muscles near the body surface, and the muscles reinforced by the reinforcement part α are all deep muscles existing below the surface muscles. . In this way, the muscles reinforced by the reinforcing part α and the muscles reinforced by the reinforcing part β are clearly divided into the surface layer muscles and the deep layer muscles, so that the body covering ground (the first covering ground 100 and the second covering ground). It is possible to easily arrange the reinforcing portion α and the reinforcing portion β with respect to the ground 200). It is also possible to protect or train the wearer's surface and deep muscles more firmly.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the reinforcing portion α (reinforcing portions 151 to 160, 170 to 178) is integrated with the first covering ground 100, and the reinforcing portion β (reinforcing portions 250 to 262, 270). 272) is integrated with the second covering land 200, which is arranged so as to overlap the first covering land 100, as shown in FIGS. The order in which the first covering ground 100 and the second covering ground 200 are stacked is not particularly limited. However, in the garment 300 according to this embodiment, the reinforcing portion α that protects or trains the surface muscle is integrated. The 1st covering place 100 is piled up on the upper side (outside) of the 2nd covering place 200 with which the reinforcement part (beta) which protects or trains a deep layer muscle was integrated.

  A portion other than the reinforcing portion α (non-reinforcing portion α ′) in the first covered ground 100 and a portion other than the reinforcing portion β (non-reinforcing portion β ′) in the second covered ground 200 are both materials having elasticity. The first covering ground 100 and the second covering ground 200 are to be worn in close contact with the wearer's body. For this reason, even if the 1st covering place 100 and the 2nd covering place 200 are the states which only overlapped, without fixing mutually, the part which follows a wearer's muscle and ligament in the reinforcement part (alpha) and the reinforcement part (beta) Can be positioned. However, in consideration of ease of wearing of the garment 300, it is preferable that the first covering ground 100 and the second covering ground 200 are fixed to each other at a part thereof.

  Although the place which fixes the 1st covering ground 100 and the 2nd covering ground 200 will not be specifically limited if it is except the part (except each edge part) where the reinforcement part (alpha) and the reinforcement part (beta) overlapped, reinforcement part (alpha) is not limited. It is preferable that they are fixed to each other at the end portions of them or at the end portions of the reinforcing portions β. Thereby, even if the 1st covering ground 100 and the 2nd covering ground 200 are mutually fixed, it becomes possible to expand and contract the reinforcement part (alpha) and the reinforcement part (beta) independently. As such a place, the part (joint covering part) which overlaps with a wearer's joint in the 1st covering place 100 or the 2nd covering place 200 is illustrated. This is because many muscles have both ends (tendons) supported near the joints, and few stretch and contract across the joints.

  Specifically, as the joint covering portion for fixing the first covering ground 100 and the second covering ground 200, a neck joint covering portion that overlaps the wearer's neck joint, a shoulder joint covering portion that overlaps the wearer's shoulder joint, and wear An elbow joint covering part overlying the wearer's elbow joint, a wrist joint covering part overlying the wearer's wrist joint, a hip joint covering part overlying the wearer's hip joint, a knee joint covering part overlying the wearer's knee joint, and the wearer's ankle joint An ankle joint covering part that overlaps with is exemplified.

  In the garment 300 of this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1-6, the 1st covering place 100 and the 2nd covering place 200 are the neck joint covering part A, the wrist joint covering part B, and the ankle joint covering part C. And are fixed to each other. In this way, by fixing the first covering portion 100 and the second covering portion 200 at the opening end of the clothing 300 such as a collar, a sleeve, and a hem, the collar, the hem, and the sleeve are made difficult to bend. Is also possible.

  The reinforcing portion α in the first covering ground 100 and the non-reinforcing portion α ′ in the first covering ground 100 are formed if the elongation rate of the reinforcing portion α is smaller than the elongation rate of the non-reinforcing portion α ′. The method is not particularly limited. For example, a method in which another fabric is overlapped and fixed on the first covering ground 100, a portion where the other fabric overlaps is set as a reinforcing portion α, and the other portion is set as a non-reinforcing portion α ′. For example, there is a method of switching the portion to be the reinforcing portion α in 100 with another fabric having a smaller elongation rate than the non-reinforcing portion α ′.

  However, in order to reduce the weight of the first covering fabric 100 and improve the strength, the first covering fabric 100 is formed of a knitted fabric or a woven fabric, and the knitting method or the weaving method of the reinforcing portion α in the first covering fabric 100 is used. It is preferable to switch between the knitting method and the weaving method in the non-reinforced portion α ′. As a result, it is possible not only to reduce the thickness of the first covering ground 100 by forming the reinforcing portion α thin, but also to form the reinforcing portion α and the non-reinforcing portion α ′ without a seam. The strength of one covering ground 100 can also be improved.

  In the garment 300 of this embodiment, the first covering fabric 100 is formed of a knitted fabric in which a reinforced portion α and a non-reinforced portion α ′ are continuous, and the knitting method includes the reinforced portion α and the non-reinforced portion α ′. Is changing. The reinforcing part β and the non-reinforcing part β ′ in the second covered ground 200 are the same as the reinforcing part α and the non-reinforcing part α in the first covered ground 100.

  Specifically, how much the elongation rate of the reinforcing portion α and the reinforcing portion β is set is required for the use of the garment 300, the load on the muscles and ligaments, and the first covering land 100 and the second covering land 200. It is appropriately determined depending on the balance with the strength and the like, and is not particularly limited.

  However, if the elongation rate of the reinforcing part α and the reinforcing part β is too small, an excessive burden may be imposed on the muscles and ligaments. For this reason, the elongation rates of the reinforcing portion α and the reinforcing portion β are usually 110% or more, respectively. The elongation rates of the reinforcing portion α and the reinforcing portion β are each preferably 120% or more, and more preferably 130% or more.

  On the other hand, if the elongation percentage of the reinforcing portion α and the reinforcing portion β is too large, the effect of reinforcing muscles and ligaments may be reduced. For this reason, the elongation rates of the reinforcing portion α and the reinforcing portion β are normally set to 200% or less, respectively. The elongation rates of the reinforcing portion α and the reinforcing portion β are each preferably 190% or less, and more preferably 180% or less.

  Further, the elongation rate of the non-reinforcing part α ′ and the non-reinforcing part β ′ is not particularly limited as long as it is larger than the reinforcing part α and the reinforcing part β. The elongation rate of the non-reinforcing part α ′ and the non-reinforcing part β ′ is a balance between the use of the garment 300 and the strength required for the first covering material 100 and the second covering material 200 and the feeling of pressure applied to the wearer. As appropriate.

  However, if the elongation rate of the non-reinforcing part α ′ and the non-reinforcing part β ′ is too small, the wearer may feel a sense of pressure when the garment 300 is worn. For this reason, the elongation rates of the non-reinforcing part α ′ and the non-reinforcing part β ′ are normally 200% or more, respectively. The band ratios of the non-reinforced portion α ′ and the non-reinforced portion β ′ are each preferably 210% or more, and more preferably 220% or more.

  On the other hand, if the elongation rate of the non-reinforcing part α ′ and the non-reinforcing part β ′ is excessively increased, the non-reinforcing part α ′ and the non-reinforcing part β ′ may be excessively stretched and the desired effect may not be achieved. For this reason, the elongation rates of the non-reinforcing portion α ′ and the non-reinforcing portion β ′ are normally set to 300% or less, respectively. The elongation percentages of the non-reinforced portion α ′ and the non-reinforced portion β ′ are each preferably 290% or less, and more preferably 300% or less.

  As described above, the garment 300 according to the present embodiment is provided with the first covering ground 100 provided with the reinforcing portion α for reinforcing the surface layer muscles and the second covering ground 200 provided with the reinforcing portion β for reinforcing the deep layer muscles. Are provided in different layers, and the first covering ground 100 and the second covering ground 200 are fixed (sewn) only by the neck joint covering portion A, the wrist joint covering portion B, and the ankle joint covering portion C. In other parts, they are just overlapped. For this reason, the reinforcement part α for reinforcing the surface layer reinforcement and the reinforcement part β for reinforcing the deep layer reinforcement can be expanded and contracted independently without interfering with each other. The surface layer muscles and the deep layer muscles of a person can be suitably protected or trained.

  The garment 300 of the present invention can be used in various applications that require protection of the wearer's muscles and ligaments. For example, it can be suitably used as nursing clothes worn by caregivers who care for care recipients, work clothes when carrying heavy loads, sportswear worn when performing sports, etc. . Moreover, it is also suitable as a thing worn by elderly people or patients with weak muscle strength.

  When the garment 300 of the present invention is used for such a purpose, the fluid pressure tube (the fluid pressure (typically the pressure of gas such as air) is raised or lowered to raise or lower the shape of the fluid pressure tube. It is also preferable to attach an actuator such as a tube to be changed along the reinforcing portion α or the reinforcing portion β. In this case, the actuator is driven in a direction that assists the wearer's movement. Thereby, it becomes possible to supplement a wearer's muscular strength. The clothing to which the actuator is attached is called a power assist suit.

  In addition, the garment 300 of the present invention not only protects the wearer's muscles and ligaments, but also increases the wearer's muscle strength by consciously placing a load on the wearer's muscle strength and the like (so-called It can also be used as a training suit or rehabilitation suit. When the garment 300 of the present invention is used as a training suit or a rehabilitation suit, the elongation rate of the reinforcement portion α and the elongation rate of the reinforcement portion β are set lower than when the garment 300 is used for other purposes. preferable.

  It is also preferable to attach an actuator such as the fluid pressure tube along the reinforcing portion α or the reinforcing portion β. In this case, the actuator is driven in a direction in which a load is applied to the wearer's movement. Thereby, it becomes possible to apply an appropriate load to the wearer's muscles, and the garment 300 of the present invention can be more suitably used as a training suit or a rehabilitation suit.
