Description

The present invention relates to a lower body covering, and particularly to a lower body covering that can be worn during relaxing time (when relaxing at home after returning from an outing or while sleeping) to tighten the legs and prevent swelling (edema). This invention relates to a lower body covering that can refresh the body.

Due to recent lifestyle habits, many people use socks as clothing to wear on their feet when they put on shoes. Among such clothing, pantyhose, which cover the lower half of a woman's body in particular, have become widely used in the world because they protect women's legs when going out, keep them warm, and improve the beauty of their leg lines.
As one type of pantyhose, support pantyhose are known which have the effect of promoting blood circulation while wearing them and preventing leg swelling, fatigue, etc., and are disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2914614 (Patent Document 1) discloses such support pantyhose.

The support pantyhose disclosed in Patent Document 1 has three parts of the leg, the thigh part, the calf part, and the arch part, which have strong pressure when worn, and among these three parts, The pressure on the calf area is the strongest compared to other areas, and there are areas with weaker pressure between these three areas, so that the areas with stronger and weaker pressure are placed alternately. It is characterized by

Patent No. 2914614

According to the pantyhose disclosed in Patent Document 1 mentioned above, by applying the strongest compression to the calf region, it supports muscle contraction of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles located in the calf region during walking, and reduces the milking action ( It increases the effect (the movement of muscles that sends blood to the heart) compared to bare feet, and also supports the muscles of the arch and thighs, giving them the same effect. In addition, it is possible to eliminate the problem of conventional support pantyhose that obstructs blood circulation and causes leg swelling and fatigue when worn for a long time, and provides pantyhose that are suitable for maintaining health. can.

By the way, by wearing equipment that covers the lower body (covering at least the legs) when relaxing at home after coming home from outside or while sleeping, it can tighten the legs and reduce swelling. The applicant of the present application has focused on preventing such problems and has diligently proceeded with development. However, the support pantyhose disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 is simply devised so that the areas of strong and weak pressure are positioned alternately, and by walking, the blood circulation is improved compared to when wearing bare feet. It just proves that.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and its purpose is to provide a system for relaxing time (when you are relaxing at home after returning from a trip or when you are sleeping). To provide a lower body covering that can be worn to tighten the legs, prevent swelling (edema), and refresh the legs.

In order to achieve the above object, the lower body covering according to the present invention takes the following technical measures.
That is, the lower body covering according to the present invention is a lower body covering formed of a tubular knitted fabric that exposes the toes and covers from the instep to above the knee, and the lower body covering is When viewed from the side when placed on a flat surface, the calf hold part on the back side, which is the rear side of the body, is formed in a curved line rather than the shin hold part on the ventral side, which is the front side of the body.

Preferably, the shin hold part and the calf hold part use a covering yarn in which a core yarn, which is a urethane elastic yarn, is wound with a winding yarn as the ground yarn on the skin side, and The lay-in is knitted by plating knitting using cupro blend yarn as the plating yarn, and is inserted between the loops of the plating knitting by knitting parallel to the direction along the connecting part of the knitting without entangling with the loops of the plating knitting. A covering thread in which a winding thread is wound around a core thread that is a urethane elastic thread may be used as the thread, and the insertion form of the lay-in thread may be different between the shin hold part and the calf hold part. can.

More preferably, the shin hold portion and the calf hold portion may be configured to have different ratios of misses to tucks in the lay-in yarn.
More preferably, the shin hold portion may be configured to have a higher ratio of errors to tucks in the lay-in yarn than the calf hold portion.
More preferably, the ratio of misses to tucks in the lay-in yarn is 1:3 in the shin hold part and 1:1 in the calf hold part.

More preferably, the skin-side knitting yarn is a single covering yarn in which a core yarn, which is a urethane-based elastic yarn, is wound around a core yarn, and the lay-in yarn is a core yarn, which is a urethane-based elastic yarn, and two windings are wound around the core yarn. It can be configured to use heavily wrapped double covering yarn.
More preferably, it can be configured such that the wearing pressure decreases in the direction from the ankle to above the knee.

According to the lower body covering of the present invention, it can be worn during relaxing time (when relaxing at home after returning from an outing or while sleeping) to tighten the legs and prevent swelling (edema). It is possible to provide a lower body covering that can be refreshed.

1 is a diagram showing a state in which a lower body covering according to an embodiment of the present invention is worn; FIG. FIG. 2 is a side view of the lower body covering of FIG. 1 placed on a flat surface. FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the knitting structure of the lower body covering of FIG. 1. FIG.

Below, a lower body covering 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing how the lower body covering 100 is worn, FIG. 2 is a side view of the lower body covering 100 placed on a flat surface, and FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the lower body covering 100 worn on a flat surface. 100 is a diagram for explaining a knitting structure.
This lower body covering 100 is formed of a cylindrical knitted fabric (over-the-knee length with toeless specifications) that exposes the toes 280 and covers from the instep 270 to above the knee (near the thigh) 210. It mainly covers the legs. Since the toeless design exposes the toes 280, the shoe does not feel cramped and is suitable for relaxing wear.

In addition, in a side view of the lower body covering 100 placed on a flat surface, the calf hold part 130R on the back side of the body, which is the rear side of the body, is formed in a curved line rather than the shin hold part 130F on the ventral side, which is the front side of the body. ing. By arranging different knitting structures on the shin hold part 130F on the front side (ventral side: side of the shin 230) and the calf hold part 130R on the rear side (back side: side of the calf 240), The sides) are formed in a straight line shape, and the back side (back side) is formed in a curved shape to enhance the fit along the legs and support the legs comfortably.

More specifically, the shin hold part 130F and the calf hold part 130R use a covering thread in which a winding thread is wound around a core thread, which is a urethane elastic thread, as the ground thread on the skin side, and It is knitted by plating knitting using cupro blend yarn as the splicing yarn. Then, the thread is knitted parallel to the direction along the connecting part of the stitches without being entwined with the loops of the plating knitting stitches, and the winding yarn is wound around the core yarn, which is a urethane elastic yarn, as a lay-in yarn inserted between these loops. It uses a covered thread. In this case, the insertion form of the lay-in thread is different between the shin hold part 130F and the calf hold part 130R, so that the front side (ventral side) of the leg is formed in a straight line shape and the rear side (back side) is formed in a curved shape. This allows for a better fit along the legs.

Here, an example of a different insertion form of the lay-in yarn is that the ratio of miss x to tuck Δ in the lay-in yarn is different between the shin hold part 130F and the calf hold part 130R.
Further, as an example of a different insertion form of the lay-in yarn, the ratio of miss x to tuck Δ in the lay-in yarn is higher in the shin hold part 130F than in the calf hold part 130R.

Further, as an example of a different insertion form of the lay-in yarn, the ratio of miss x to tuck Δ in the lay-in yarn is 1:3 (lay-in stripe) in the shin hold part 130F and 1:1 (in the calf hold part 130R). Lay-in mesh).
Here, the details will be described later with reference to Fig. 3, but tuck △ means knitting by skipping stitches in the wale direction, and mistake × means knitting without forming stitches (knit 〇 means knitting without forming stitches). ).

In addition, single covering yarn (SCY) is used as the knitting yarn on the skin side in plating knitting, and the core yarn, which is a urethane elastic yarn, is used as a lay-in yarn. It is also preferable to use a double covering yarn (DCY) in which the yarn is wound twice. By using a double covering thread as the lay-in thread and different insertion forms, the front side (ventral side) of the leg mentioned above is formed into a straight line shape and the back side (back side) is formed into a curved shape to fit along the leg. It can enhance the feeling.

Further, the wearing pressure changes stepwise in the direction from the ankle 250 to the above-the-knee 210, and decreases in the direction from the ankle 250 to the above-the-knee 210. For example, the pressure is 21 hPa at the ankle 250, 17 hPa at the shin 230, and 12 hPa at the knee 210. By changing the pressure in stages like this, you can firmly tighten your legs.
In addition, the heel 260 part and the knee 220 part are knitted with a knitting yarn containing an elastic yarn (more specifically, a winding yarn is wound around a core yarn which is a urethane elastic yarn as the ground yarn on the skin side). The holding part (heel hold) is knitted by repeating knit 〇 and tuck △ in the plating knitting using cupro blended yarn as the outside plating yarn on the skin side and the opposite side. section 140 and knee hold section 120). This lower body covering 100 has a heel specification including a heel part 150, and the heel hold part 140 and the heel part 150 firmly hold the heel 260 and the periphery of the heel 260 to achieve a preferable fit. Further, the knee holding portion 120 securely holds the knee 220 and the area around the knee 220 to achieve a preferable fit.

Furthermore, the collar portion 110 has the same knitting structure as the calf hold portion 130R, and includes a knitting structure in which the cupro blend yarn is replaced with a woolly nylon yarn.
In addition, the heel portion 150 and the opening 160 are constructed by using a covering thread in which a winding thread is wound around a core thread, which is a urethane elastic thread, as the base thread on the skin side, and as a splint thread on the outside on the opposite side to the skin side. This is a plated plain knit structure using cupro blend yarn.

In this way, the tubular knitted fabric constituting this lower body covering 100 is knitted including cupro blend yarn (used as an outer plating yarn on the side opposite to the skin side in plating knitting, which will be described later). There is. More specifically, this cupro blend yarn is a blend of cupro, lyocell, and polyester, and it has excellent deodorizing and moisture absorption and desorption properties, and when used as a plating yarn in plating knitting, it creates a smooth and soft yarn. It has a knitted fabric that feels good against the skin.

In this way, we use a natural fiber (cupro blend yarn) with excellent texture and functionality to achieve a soft texture even though it is a compression item. The knitting structure is changed between the hold part 130F and the calf hold part 130R placed on the back side of the body, so that the front side (ventral side) of the leg has a straight line shape and the back side (back side) has a curved shape. The three-dimensional design with front and rear differences allows for a fit that follows the shape of the leg, and the heel design, heel hold part 140 and knee hold part 120 make it more comfortable to wear. It has a low feeling of discomfort and can be worn during relaxing times (such as when relaxing at home after returning from an outing or while sleeping) to tighten the legs, prevent swelling (edema), and refresh the legs.

Furthermore, this lower body covering 100 will be explained in detail. This lower body covering 100 basically has the same shape on the left and right sides, but it may have different shapes on the left and right sides, which is preferable since it has the same shape on the left and right so that there is no chance of wearing it by mistake.
This lower body covering 100 includes a collar part 110, a knee hold part 120, a shin hold part 130F, a calf hold part 130R, a heel hold part 140, a heel part 150, and an opening part 160, Including these, it is formed of a tubular knitted fabric that covers from the instep 270 to above the knee (near the thigh) 210 and exposes the toes 280 (toeless specification, heel specification, over-knee length).

It is preferable that the collar 110 and the opening 160 (particularly to prevent the collar 110 from slipping) are knitted with a knitting structure, which will be described in detail later.
The knee holding part 120 that comes into contact with the knee 220 has a horizontal H-shape, as shown in FIG. 2 when the lower body covering 100 is placed on a flat surface, and is knitted with a knitting yarn containing an elastic yarn to be described later. Knitting structure (more specifically, a covering yarn in which a winding yarn is wound around a core yarn, which is a urethane elastic yarn, is used as the ground yarn on the skin side, and a cupro blend yarn is used as the outer splicing yarn on the side opposite to the skin side. In the tuck △ portion of the knitting structure in which knit 〇 and tuck △ are repeated in the plating knitting), the knee 220 is preferably held.

The heel hold part 140 that comes into contact with the heel 260 has a U-shape, as shown in FIG. Texture (more specifically, a covering yarn made by winding a thread around a core thread, which is a urethane elastic thread, was used as the base thread on the skin side, and a cupro blend yarn was used as the outer splicing thread on the side opposite to the skin side. In plating knitting), the knitting structure repeats knit 〇 and tuck △ in the tuck △ portion) to exhibit preferable elasticity, and preferably holds the heel 260 together with the heel portion 150. These knee hold portions 120 and heel hold portions 140 are preferably knitted with a knitted structure, which will be described in detail later.

With reference to FIG. 3, the specific knitting structure of this lower body covering 100 will be described in detail. Here, the symbol "○" representing knit, the symbol "△" representing tuck, and the symbol "x" representing mistake represent the way the stitches are formed when viewed from the movement of the knitting needles. To knit is to form a stitch and knit. To tuck is to knit by skipping a stitch in the wale direction. To make a mistake is to knit without forming a stitch.
The knitting structure of the shin hold part 130F and the calf hold part 130R will be described with reference to FIG. 3(A) and FIG. 3(B).

Both the shin hold part 130F and the calf hold part 130R use a covering thread (here SCY) in which a thread is wound around a core thread, which is a urethane elastic thread, as the ground thread on the skin side, and Repeat knit 〇 in plating knitting using cupro blend yarn as the outer plating thread, knit the stitches without getting entangled with the loops of the plating knitting stitches, and knit parallel to the direction along the connecting part of the stitches. As the lay-in yarn inserted between these loops, a covering yarn (here, DCY) is used, which is a core yarn that is a urethane elastic yarn and a winding yarn is wound around the core yarn. In this case, the insertion form of the lay-in thread between the shin hold part 130F and the calf hold part 130R is 1:3 (lay-in stripe) in the shin hold part 130F, and 1:1 (lay-in stripe) in the calf hold part 130R. The difference is that it is (in-mesh). In both the shin hold part 130F and the calf hold part 130R, the first, second, fourth, and fifth courses use SCY as the ground thread on the skin side and cupro blend as the outer splicing thread on the opposite side to the skin side. Knit 〇 is repeated by plating knitting using thread.

The shin hold portion 130F is knitted by repeating tucks Δ and misses by repeating 3 misses for every 1 tack Δ in the third and sixth courses using DCY, which is a lay-in yarn. The position of tuck △ and the position of miss × are the same in the third course and the sixth course. The shin hold portion 130F has these first to sixth courses repeated in the wale direction.
The calf hold part 130R alternately repeats tuck △ and miss × in the 3rd and 6th courses using DCY, which is a lay-in yarn, and adjusts the position of tuck △ and the position of miss × in the 3rd and 6th courses. The positions have been swapped. The calf hold portion 130R has these first to sixth courses repeated in the wale direction.

As described above, by different knitting structures between the shin hold part 130F and the calf hold part 130R, the front side (ventral side) of the leg is formed in a straight line shape and the rear side (back side) is formed in a curved shape. This allows for a better fit along the legs.
Next, the knitting structure of the collar portion 110 will be described with reference to FIG. 3(C). As described above, the knitting structure of the collar portion 110 is the same knitting structure as that of the calf hold portion 130R shown in FIG. 3(B), but the knitting yarn is different. A knitting structure is provided in which the cupro blend yarn, which is the plating yarn in the plating knitting in the calf hold part 130R, is changed to a woolly nylon yarn.

Next, the knitting structures of the knee hold part 120 and the heel hold part 140 will be described with reference to FIG. 3(D). In this embodiment, it is assumed that the knee hold part 120 and the heel hold part 140 have the same knitting structure, but the invention is not limited to this. The knitting structure of the knee hold part 120 and the heel hold part 140 is similar to that of the calf hold part 130R. However, in the calf hold part 130R, knit ○ was repeated in plating knitting using SCY as the ground yarn on the skin side and cupro blend yarn as the outside plating thread on the opposite side to the skin side, but in the knee hold part 120 and the heel hold part 140, knit 〇 and tuck △ are alternately repeated in plating knitting using SCY as the ground yarn on the skin side and cupro blend yarn as the outer splicing yarn on the skin side and the opposite side. The difference is that there are courses available.

In both the knee hold part 120 and the heel hold part 140, the first course, second course, fourth course, and fifth course use SCY as the base thread on the skin side and cupro blend as the outer splint thread on the opposite side to the skin side. In plating knitting using yarn, the second and fifth courses repeat knit 〇, but the first and fourth courses alternately repeat knit 〇 and tuck △ (the first The position of tuck △ and the position of miss x have not been swapped between the course and the fourth course).

In both the knee hold part 120 and the heel hold part 140, the third course and the sixth course are made of DCY which is a lay-in yarn, and the tuck △ and the miss × are repeated alternately, and the tuck △ is made in the third course and the sixth course. The position and the position of the mistake × have not been swapped. The knee hold part 120 and the heel hold part 140 repeat these first to sixth courses in the wale direction.
Next, the knitting structure of the heel portion 150 and the opening 160 will be described with reference to FIG. 3(E). A covering yarn (SCY in this case), which is a urethane-based elastic yarn wrapped around a core yarn, was used as the ground yarn on the skin side, and a cupro blend yarn was used as the outer splicing yarn on the side opposite to the skin side. It is a flat knit structure with plating knitting.
