Description

The present invention relates to clothing.

As disclosed in Patent Document 1, clothing has been proposed in which the elasticity of the fabric is partially different in order to facilitate movement during sports and the like. The clothing disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a posture-controlling fabric made of a material with higher elasticity than the main fabric sewn or glued to the back of the garment's fabric, or a posture-controlling fabric part is provided by adding a highly elastic interwoven or interwoven part to the main fabric. This posture-controlling fabric or posture-controlling fabric part allows the wearer to easily assume a forward-leaning posture during competition.

JP 2007-16366 A

In general, clothing is made by sewing together multiple patterns to produce a product with a three-dimensional shape that conforms to the body while preventing sagging of the fabric. At the locations where the transitions between patterns are made, seams for changing patterns are set. In the clothing described in Patent Document 1, in addition to the seams for changing patterns, stretch adjustment seams are set to sew together the fabric body and the stretch adjustment member or stretch adjustment portion.

In areas where such seams are provided, it is difficult to increase the elongation, and there is a risk of the elongation decreasing in unintended areas, such as the transition area between the main fabric and the elongation adjustment member or elongation adjustment section. In other words, clothing that provides the elongation required for each part of the wearer while minimizing seams is desired. Such issues are not limited to sportswear, and it is desirable to solve them in clothing such as outerwear used for mountain climbing, etc.

The present invention provides a garment that minimizes seams while providing the necessary stretch for each part of the wearer.

The present invention relates to a garment that is an outerwear to be worn on the upper body, the garment comprising a knitted fabric and a moisture-permeable, waterproof film attached to the back side of the fabric,
A pattern having at least one of a front body, a back body, and a sleeve portion includes a low elongation portion and a high elongation portion having a higher elongation than the low elongation portion,
The low elongation portion and the high elongation portion are formed by knitting separately from a single piece of fabric.

Outerwear is clothing that is not in close contact with the wearer's skin or underwear, but is worn at least outside the underwear (JIS L0215).

According to the present invention, by providing a high-elongation section with higher elongation than a low-elongation section in a specified area for improving ease of movement, for example, when engaging in sports or outdoor activities, it is possible to improve performance when engaging in sports or outdoor activities. Since the difference in elongation between the low-elongation section and the high-elongation section is formed by knitting, there is no need to provide a seam at the transition area between the low-elongation section and the high-elongation section, and a decrease in elongation at the transition area is suppressed compared to when a seam is provided at the transition area. This makes it possible to set the elongation required at a specified area of the wearer while minimizing seams, and a decrease in elongation in unintended areas is suppressed.

The high-stretch portion may be provided around the wearer's shoulder blades.

With this configuration, when playing sports, for example when swinging your arms during a ski turn, the shoulder blades are prevented from being constrained due to insufficient elasticity in the shoulder blade area of the clothing, improving performance when playing sports. In addition, by preventing shoulder blade constraints, it is easier to achieve a stress-free state when participating in outdoor activities.

The high-elasticity portion may be provided on the back of the upper arm, which corresponds to the back of the upper arm that is located on the outside when the wearer bends their elbow.

With this configuration, when playing sports, for example when swinging the arms forward during a ski turn, the upper arms are restrained due to insufficient elasticity of the back part of the upper arms in the clothing, which limits the range of movement of the arms, improving performance when playing sports. Also, by reducing restraint of the upper arms, it is easier to achieve a stress-free state when participating in outdoor activities.

The high-stretch portion may be provided in the underarm area corresponding to the wearer's underarms.

With this configuration, when playing sports, for example when swinging your arms while making a ski turn, the armpits are restrained due to insufficient elasticity in the underarm area of the clothing, limiting the range of motion of the arms, improving performance when playing sports. Also, by preventing the range of motion of the arms from being restricted, it is easier to achieve a stress-free state when participating in outdoor activities.

In addition, the difference in elongation between the low and high elongation sections is created by knitting the fabric. For example, by making the knitting structure of the high elongation section coarser than that of the low elongation section, the moisture permeability and heat dissipation of the high elongation section will be relatively higher than that of the low elongation section, and this will improve the moisture permeability and heat dissipation of the underarm area, where moisture permeability and heat dissipation are required during general exercise.

The high-stretch portion may be provided at the elbow portion corresponding to the wearer's elbow.

With this configuration, when playing sports, for example when swinging your arms during a ski turn, the elbow is restrained due to insufficient elasticity of the elbow part of the clothing, limiting the bending angle of the elbow, thereby improving performance when playing sports. Also, by preventing the bending angle of the elbow from being limited, it is easier to achieve a stress-free state when participating in outdoor activities.

The elongation of the front body and/or the back body corresponds to the elongation in the body width direction,
The elongation of the sleeve portion corresponds to the elongation in the longitudinal direction of the arm,
The tensile modulus of the high elongation portion provided in at least one of the front body, the back body, and the sleeve portions may be set to be 0.3 to 0.9 times the tensile modulus of the low elongation portion.

This configuration allows the elongation of specified parts of the front and back body to be appropriately set in order to improve ease of movement when engaging in sports or outdoor activities. Appropriate elongation allows the fabric to follow the movement of the skin of the body, reducing stress on the wearer and improving performance. If the tensile modulus of the high elongation part is less than 0.3 times, there will be too much difference in elongation, resulting in wrinkles and other aesthetic problems, while if the tensile modulus of the high elongation part is more than 0.9 times, movement will be hindered due to insufficient elongation in specified parts to improve ease of movement when engaging in sports or outdoor activities.

The elongation of the front body and/or the back body corresponds to the elongation in the body width direction,
The elongation of the sleeve portion corresponds to the elongation in the longitudinal direction of the arm,
The high elongation portion provided in at least one of the front body, the back body, and the sleeve portion may have a stress of 0.06 N/mm or more and 0.3 N/mm or less at 30% elongation.

This configuration allows the stress at 30% elongation in specific areas to be appropriately set in order to improve ease of movement when engaging in sports or outdoor activities. The appropriate stress at 30% elongation allows the fabric to follow the movement of the skin of the body, reducing stress on the wearer and improving performance. If the stress at 30% elongation is less than 0.06 N/mm, the shape of the garment cannot be maintained, and if it is more than 0.3 N/mm, movement is hindered due to insufficient elongation in specific areas of the front and back body to improve ease of movement when engaging in sports or outdoor activities.

The low-elasticity portion may include a pair of shoulder portions corresponding to both shoulders of the wearer, a lower back portion corresponding to the lower back of the wearer, and a pair of connecting portions provided between the shoulder blade portions corresponding to the shoulder blades of the wearer and the underarm portions corresponding to the armpits of the wearer, respectively connecting the shoulder portions and the lower back portion in the vertical direction.

With this configuration, the low-stretch sections, which have lower stretch than the high-stretch sections, continue vertically from each shoulder to the lower back, forming a framework for the garment and giving it firmness and resilience, preventing the garment's silhouette from expanding in the width direction compared to when the high-stretch sections are provided continuously in the width direction. This improves skiing performance without compromising the aesthetics of the garment's silhouette.

The high-stretch portion may be provided in the hood portion that covers the wearer's head.

With this configuration, by providing a high-stretch section in the hood, it is easy to put on and take off when playing sports, for example when the wearer puts on a helmet, and it fits well, making it difficult for air to get in and preventing the hood from coming off in unintended situations.

The transition area between the low elongation section and the high elongation section may include a transition region having a higher elongation than the low elongation section and a lower elongation than the high elongation section.

This configuration allows for smooth switching between the elongation of the low and high elongation sections. Compared to when there is a large difference in elongation between the low and high elongation sections, slack in the high elongation section is suppressed, preventing damage to the aesthetic appearance of the garment.

The present invention makes it possible to provide clothing that has the required stretch for each part of the wearer while minimizing seams.

Below, we will explain the garment according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

[First embodiment]
Referring to FIG. 1, a garment 1 will be described by taking ski wear as an example. The garment 1 is outerwear worn on the upper body. Outerwear is clothing (JIS L0215) that is not in close contact with the wearer's skin or underwear, and is worn at least outside the underwear. In this embodiment, the garment 1 is made of knitted fabric, for example, a fabric having elasticity made of warp knitting. A knitted fabric having a warp knit structure is obtained by forming loops with yarn fed in the course direction and sequentially connecting the loops in the well direction. More specifically, the garment 1 is made of a single raschel fabric made by using a knitting machine of a single raschel machine with a double (piezo) jacquard mechanism.

The fibers constituting the fabric of the garment 1 can be a non-elastic yarn, which is a base fiber, and an elastic yarn, which is a fiber with a higher elastic modulus than the base fiber, such as polyester fiber and polyurethane fiber. The fabric of the garment 1 is formed by knitting yarns composed of a mixture ratio of these fibers, specifically, a mixture ratio of polyurethane fiber to polyester fiber of 15% to 20%. The diameter of the yarns is set to 20 denier or more and 75 denier or less for the non-elastic yarns and 20 denier or more and 280 denier or less for the elastic yarns.

The fabric constituting the garment 1 is knitted on a knitting machine with a gauge of 24E (number of needles/inch) to 32E (number of needles/inch) at a machine pick count of 50.8 to 76.2 courses/inch, and is preferably knitted at a finished density of 100 to 170 courses/inch and 35 to 55 wells/inch due to shrinkage of the elastic yarn or shrinkage due to heat setting (a process in which synthetic fibers with thermoplastic properties are heat-treated (by applying heat or high-temperature steam, etc.) to change the shape of the product and then cooled to stabilize it, thereby maintaining the shape and dimensional stability of the fabric). In this embodiment, the finished density refers to the number of stitches per inch in the course direction and the number of stitches per inch in the well direction. The fabric of this embodiment has a non-elastic yarn of 20 denier or more and 75 denier or less, an elastic yarn of 20 denier or more and 280 denier or less, and is knitted at a density of 80 courses/inch or more and 35 wells/inch or more, and is generally high density. By knitting the fabric at a high density, a garment 1 with a smooth surface texture is obtained. The smooth surface structure suppresses fuzzing and pilling, and the durability of the garment 1 can be improved. The fabric of the garment 1 is not particularly limited, but for example, the average basis weight (weight per unit area) is set to 400 g/ ^m2 or more and 450 g/ ^m2 or less, making it a fabric that is easy to move in and durable.

The warp knitting structure that makes up the fabric is a jacquard structure, and the jacquard structure is changed so that the density of the stitches changes within a single piece of fabric. The density of the stitches creates differences in the elongation within a single piece of fabric; more specifically, low elongation sections 2 and high elongation sections 3, which have higher elongation than low elongation sections 2, are formed. The different elongations are achieved by changing the jacquard structure.

In the low elongation section 2, a jacquard-varied fabric is arranged that is tighter in the welter direction than in the high elongation section 3. In the high elongation section 3, a jacquard-varied fabric is arranged that is less tight in the welter direction. Therefore, the finished density in the welter direction of the low elongation section 2 (the number of stitches in the welter direction) is greater than the finished density in the welter direction of the high elongation section 3. On the other hand, the finished density in the course direction is set to be the same in the low elongation section 2 and the high elongation section 3, so the high elongation section has a lower fabric density in the welter direction than the low elongation section, i.e., the basis weight is smaller.

The high elongation section 3 has a jacquard pattern with weak tightening in the weave direction. The stitches in the high elongation section 3 are looser and larger than those in the low elongation section 2, but are folded in due to the tension of the elastic yarn. Therefore, the high elongation section has a larger stretch margin than the low elongation section, and the elongation is increased.

As shown in FIG. 1, a moisture-permeable, waterproof film 7, for example a non-porous hydrophilic polyurethane film, is attached to the back surface (the side facing the wearer's body) of the fabric of the garment 1 by lamination processing such as hot melt. This provides waterproofing due to the laminated moisture-permeable waterproof film compared to general knitted fabrics, making it suitable as a fabric for outdoor activities and skiing.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the garment 1 is composed of multiple patterns 10 including a front body 11, a back body 12 with shoulders 12b and sleeve bases 12c, sleeve end sections 13, side gussets 14, and a hood section 15. In Figures 1 and 2, thick lines indicate pattern transitions.

As shown in FIG. 1, the front body 11 has a right front body 11a and a left front body 11b that cover the left and right front of the wearer, more specifically the chest to abdomen, when worn. A fastener 11c is provided in the widthwise center of the front body 11. A fastener 11c is sewn to each of the widthwise left end of the right front body 11a and the widthwise right end of the left front body 11b. The right front body 11a and the left front body 11b can be joined and detached by the fastener 11c. The front body 11 has a mouth portion 11d that covers the wearer's mouth when worn.

As shown in FIG. 2, the back body 12 has a back body main body portion 12a that covers the back of the wearer, more specifically, from the back to the waist, a shoulder portion 12b that continues from the back side to the front side, and a sleeve portion 12c that covers the upper arm from the lower end of the shoulder portion 12b to the elbow when worn.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the sleeve end portion 13 is sewn to the lower end of the sleeve base portion 12c of the back body 12. When worn, the sleeve end portion 13 covers the forearm, more specifically from the elbow to the wrist. The armpit gusset portion 14 is sewn to the front body 11, the back body 12, and the sleeve end portion 13. When worn, the armpit gusset portion 14 covers the wearer's underarms. The hood portion 15 is sewn to the front body 11 and the back body 12. When worn, the hood portion 15 covers the wearer's head.

Each of these patterns 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 has a low elongation section 2 and a high elongation section 3 that has a higher elongation than the low elongation section 2. As described above, the low elongation section 2 and the high elongation section 3 are knitted by changing the density of the stitches of the jacquard structure depending on the tightening strength in the weft direction, so that a difference in elongation within a single piece of fabric is created depending on the density of the stitches. In other words, the difference in elongation between the high elongation section 3 and the low elongation section 2 is set by the pattern arrangement by knitting them separately.

As shown in FIG. 6, the low elongation section 2 is arranged with strong tightening tissues a1 and a2 that tighten more in the vertical direction (well direction) of the garment 1 than the high elongation section 3. The low elongation section 2 is composed of a first strong tightening tissue a1 and a second strong tightening tissue a2. The tightening strength of the second strong tightening tissue a2 is set to be smaller than that of the first strong tightening tissue a1. The high elongation section 3 is composed of a weak tightening tissue a3 that tightens less in the width direction of the garment 1 than the low elongation section 2.

With reference to Figures 3 and 4, we will explain the parts of the body that require stretch when the wearer skis. Figures 3 and 4 show the stretch of the upper body when skiing, measured by using a 3D wearing simulation system (software CLO manufactured by CLO Inc.) to measure the stretch of a 3D measurement bodysuit worn by a subject. Figures 3 and 4 show the degree of stretch of the bodysuit. In Figures 3 and 4, the bodysuit worn by the subject is shown to change from light to dark colors from the parts with low stretch to the parts with high stretch.

3 and 4, when skiing, the upper arm P1, forearm P2, elbow P3, armpit P4, and the chest side P5 and back side P6 connected to the armpit P4 are stretched more, while the shoulder P7 is stretched less. Furthermore, when focusing on the wearer's left arm swinging backward, the upper arm P1 is particularly stretched more in the vicinity of the elbow P3 on the back side P11 of the upper arm pulled by the elbow P3 than the front side P12 of the upper arm. Similarly, for the forearm P2, the outer side P21 of the forearm pulled by the elbow P3 is stretched more than the inner side P22 of the forearm. The parts that stretch more in this way are parts where elasticity is required for the garment 1 when skiing, or more specifically, when swinging the arm.

Referring to Figure 3, no significant stretch was observed in the abdomen P8, but when leaning forward while skiing as shown in Figure 3, the clothing around the abdomen generally becomes sagging. Depending on the amount of slack in the clothing, the overlapping of the clothing may make it difficult to lean forward, which may result in a decrease in performance. Therefore, it is preferable to increase the stretch of the clothing around the abdomen in order to prevent slack in the clothing around the abdomen.

Referring to FIG. 4, no significant stretch was observed in the back P9, but if the garment 1 has low stretchability around the shoulder blades B during skiing, the garment 1 will inhibit the movement of the shoulder blades B, resulting in poor performance. Therefore, it is preferable to increase the stretchability in the area corresponding to the shoulder blades B.

Based on the above results, in the garment 1 of this embodiment, each of the above-mentioned areas requiring elongation is formed with a high elongation section 3. The tensile modulus of the high elongation section 3 is set to be 0.3 to 0.9 times the tensile modulus of the low elongation section 2. In this embodiment, the tensile modulus means the tensile modulus in the body width direction in the front body 11 and back body 12, and means the tensile modulus in the direction in which the wearer's arms extend in the sleeve base section 12c and sleeve end section 13 that cover the arms. The sleeve section in the claims corresponds to the sleeve section 12c and sleeve end section 13.

In this embodiment, the tensile modulus is measured based on JIS_1096 A method (constant speed extension method). Specifically, a piece of fabric is prepared with a width of 50 mm and a length of 200 mm, with gripping widths of 50 mm at the top and bottom, and fixed to a tensile tester so that the length of the center part is 100 mm. The test piece is pulled at a constant speed, and the tensile modulus (N/mm) is measured from the slope of the stress at 30% extension. In this embodiment, the tensile modulus is obtained from the gradient of the tangent to the stress-strain curve. Note that the tensile modulus is given by the ratio of the tensile load to its cross-sectional area, but since it is difficult to estimate the cross-sectional area for fabric, the sample width before extension is used instead of the cross-sectional area. The tensile modulus is measured with a moisture-permeable and waterproof film 7 attached to the back side of the knitted fabric using hot melt.

The stress of the low elongation portion 2 at 30% elongation is set to 0.3 N/mm or more and 0.6 N/mm or less, and the stress of the high elongation portion 3 at 30% elongation is set to 0.06 N/mm or more and 0.3 N/mm or less. In other words, the tensile modulus of the low elongation portion 2 is set to 1.0 N/mm or more and 2.0 N/mm or less, and the tensile modulus of the high elongation portion 3 is set to 0.2 N/mm or more and 1.0 N/mm or less. If the stress of the low elongation portion 2 at 30% elongation is less than 0.3 N/mm, for example, it is difficult to obtain the rigidity required for the aesthetic appearance of the outerwear (clothing) 1, and if it exceeds 0.6 N/mm, the difference in elongation with the high elongation portion 3 becomes too large, which may cause wrinkles or other aesthetic damage. Also, if the stress of the low elongation portion 2 at 30% elongation exceeds 0.6 N/mm, it may hinder the wearer's movements. If the stress of the high elongation section 3 at 30% elongation is less than 0.06 N/mm, the difference in elongation with the low elongation section 2 becomes too large, and the high elongation section 3 becomes loose and wrinkles easily occur, which may impair the aesthetic appearance. On the other hand, if the stress of the high elongation section 3 at 30% elongation is greater than 0.3 N/mm, the lack of elongation hinders the movement during skiing, resulting in poor performance. The stress at 30% elongation is calculated based on JIS_1096 A method (constant speed elongation method) in the same way as the tensile modulus, by preparing a piece of fabric 50 mm wide and 200 mm long, setting a gripping width of 50 mm at the top and bottom, and fixing the central part to a tensile tester so that the length is 100 mm, pulling the test piece at a constant speed, measuring the load at 30% elongation, and dividing the load at 30% elongation by the sample width before elongation.

Under the above test conditions (JIS_1096 Method A (constant rate of elongation method)), when a load of 10 N was applied to the test specimens formed in the low elongation section or high elongation section in this embodiment, the test specimens formed in the low elongation section elongated by 13 mm, and the test specimens formed in the high elongation section elongated by 27 mm. In other words, the elongation of the test specimens in the high elongation section was approximately 2.1 times that of the test specimens in the low elongation section.

The settings of the low elongation section 2 and high elongation section 3 for each pattern will be explained with reference to Figures 1 and 2.

Referring to FIG. 1, the front body 11 has high-stretch sections 3 in the chest side section 31, which is continuous with the underarm P4 in FIG. 3 and corresponds to the chest side section P5, and in the abdominal peripheral section 32, which corresponds to the abdomen P8, and in the remaining sections, the front body low-stretch section 21, which is the low-stretch section 2 of the front body 11, is provided.

As shown in FIG. 1, the front body low-stretch section 21 is arranged so that after sewing, it forms a downward arrow shape overall. The front body low-stretch section 21 has a straight section 21a located on the chest side and an inclined section 21b located on the abdominal side. The straight section 21a extends from the chest along the fastener 11c toward the mouth section 11d (upward) at a predetermined width W1. The straight section 21a is formed across the right front body section 11a and the left front body section 11b of the front body 11. In this embodiment, the width W1 of the straight section 21a is set to be approximately 1/3 of the width W of the front body 11 at the armpit P4.

The low-stretch front body section 21 is formed with a predetermined width W1 in the vertical direction, so that the vertical rigidity of the front body section 11 is increased compared to when the entire front body section 11 is set to the high-stretch section 3, making it easier to achieve firmness and stiffness in the vertical direction of the garment 1.

The inclined portion 21b is inclined so that the outer side in the width direction is located higher than the width direction center of the front body 11. The inclination angle θ1 of the inclined portion 21b is set to 45 degrees with respect to the width direction. The inclined portion 21b extends from the width direction center of the front body 11 to both width direction ends of the front body 11. The inclined portion 21b vertically divides the chest side portion 31 and the abdominal peripheral portion 32 formed by the high elongation portion 3. This increases the rigidity of the front body in the width direction compared to when high elongation portions 3 that are continuous in the vertical direction are set on both width direction sides of the front body 11, making it easier to obtain firmness and resilience in the width direction of the garment 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, the chest side portions 31 are arranged on both sides in the width direction of the straight portion 21a of the front body low-stretch portion 21. A first transition region R1 is provided between the straight portion 21a and the chest side portions 31 on the inner side in the width direction (center side). The first transition region R1 is set to an intermediate degree of stretch that is higher than that of the low-stretch portion 2 and lower than that of the high-stretch portion 3.

The first transition region R1 has a first intermediate elongation section 51 adjacent to the widthwise outer side of the straight section 21a, and a second intermediate elongation section 52 adjacent to the widthwise outer side of the first intermediate elongation section 51. The first intermediate elongation section 51 is set to have a smaller elongation than the second intermediate elongation section 52. The stress at 30% elongation as the elongation of the first intermediate elongation section 51 is set to, for example, 0.18 N/mm or more and 0.45 N/mm or less, and the stress at 30% elongation of the second intermediate elongation section 52 is set to, for example, 0.12 N/mm or more and 0.38 N/mm or less. The stress at 30% elongation of the first intermediate elongation section 51 and the second intermediate elongation section 52 is also measured from the stress at 30% elongation based on JIS_1096 A method (constant speed elongation method) like the low elongation section 2 and the high elongation section. When a load of 10 N was applied to a test piece formed in the intermediate elongation section of this embodiment, the test piece elongated by 17 mm.

The first intermediate elongation section 51 and the second intermediate elongation section 52 that constitute the first transition region R1 are formed by knitting, similar to the low elongation section 2 and the high elongation section 3. More specifically, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 6, the first intermediate elongation section 51 is provided with a first strong tightening structure a1 that constitutes the low elongation section 2 and a weak tightening structure a3 that constitutes the high elongation section 3 arranged alternately. This makes the elongation of the first intermediate elongation section 51 higher than that of the low elongation section 2.

As shown in FIG. 6, the second intermediate elongation section 52 has first strong tightening tissue a1 and weak tightening tissue a3 arranged alternately, like the first intermediate elongation section 51, but the ratio of weak tightening tissue a3 to the first strong tightening tissue a1 is set to twice that of the weak tightening tissue a3 so that the first strong tightening tissue a1 is smaller than the weak tightening tissue a3. As a result, the elongation of the second intermediate elongation section 52 is higher than that of the first intermediate elongation section 51.

In this embodiment, the low elongation section 2 is composed of a first strong tightening tissue a1 and a second strong tightening tissue a2, the first intermediate elongation section 51 is composed of a first strong tightening tissue a1 and a weak tightening tissue a3 in a 1:1 ratio, the second intermediate elongation section 52 is configured so that the proportion of the weak tightening tissue a3 is greater than that of the first strong tightening tissue a1, and the high elongation section 3 is entirely composed of the weak tightening tissue a3. In this way, by providing a transition region between the low elongation section 2 and the high elongation section 3, the occurrence of a sudden difference in elongation is suppressed, and the low elongation section 2 and the high elongation section 3 can be made to blend together.

As shown in FIG. 1, the first intermediate elongation section 51 and the second intermediate elongation section 52 have predetermined widths W2 and W3, and extend in the vertical direction along the straight section 21a. The width W2 of the first intermediate elongation section 51 is set smaller than the width W3 of the second intermediate elongation section 52.

The chest side section 31 is disposed adjacent to the second intermediate stretch section 52 and extends to the widthwise end of the front body 11. As a result, the armpit gusset section 14 formed at the underarm section 33 described below is sewn together with the chest side section 31 of the front body 11, forming a continuous high stretch section 3 on the front body 11 that continues from the right to the left underarm P4.

The abdominal periphery 32 extends from the lower end of the inclined portion 21b to the hem. The abdominal periphery 32 extends from the center of the width direction to the outside of the width direction along the inclination of the inclined portion 21b, and is formed so that the area on the outside of the width direction is wider in the vertical direction than the center of the width direction. When leaning forward while skiing, the clothes around the abdomen are generally in a sagging state. Depending on the amount of slack in the clothes, the clothes may overlap and make it difficult to lean forward, which may result in a decrease in performance. Therefore, in order to suppress the slackness of the clothes around the abdomen, it is preferable to increase the elasticity of the clothes around the abdomen. The abdominal periphery 32 is provided on the front body 11 and is continuous with the flank 11e, which wraps around the back and is sewn to the back body 12 after sewing, as shown in FIG. 2.

A second transition region R2 is provided between the inclined portion 21b and the abdominal peripheral portion 32. After sewing, the second transition region R2 has a V-shape that slopes upward from the widthwise center of the front body 11 toward the widthwise outer side. In this embodiment, the second transition region R2 has a knitting structure similar to that of the second intermediate elongation section 52, and the first strong tightening structure a1 and the weak tightening structure a3 are alternately provided so that the elongation is higher than that of the low elongation section 2 and lower than that of the high elongation section 3.

Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, the armpit gusset portion 14 is the armpit portion 33 corresponding to the armpit P4 in Fig. 3. The armpit portion 33 is formed of the highest elongation portion 5, which has a higher elongation than the high elongation portion 3. The armpit portion 33 is made of extremely weakly tightening tissue, which is set to have a lower tightening force than the weakly tightening tissue a3 constituting the high elongation portion 3. The stress of the armpit portion 33 at 30% elongation is set to, for example, 0.04 N/mm or more and 0.28 N/mm or less. Since the armpit portion 33 (armpit gusset portion 14), which is located at a position corresponding to the wearer's armpit P4, is made of extremely weakly tightening tissue, it is possible to improve the moisture permeability and heat dissipation of the armpit P4, which is required to have moisture permeability and heat dissipation during general exercise.

Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 5, the hood section 15 is provided with high elongation sections 3 in a first head center section 34 that corresponds to the widthwise center of the wearer's head, and in ear sections 36 (see Figure 5) that correspond to the wearer's left and right ears, and with a hood low elongation section 22 that is the low elongation section 2 of the hood section 15 in the remaining sections. A maximum elongation section 5 is further provided in a second head center section 35 that is located in the widthwise center of the first head center section 34 in an area that overlaps with the first head center section 34. The maximum elongation section 5 is made of extremely weakly tightening tissue, just like the underarm sections.

As shown in FIG. 2, the first central head section 34 is made up of the high elongation section 3, and the second central head section 35 is made up of the highest elongation. By increasing the elongation of the central section of the hood section 15 relative to the hood low elongation section 22, the wearer can easily put on and take off a helmet or the like, and can achieve a good fit, making it difficult for air to get in and preventing the hood from coming off in unintended situations.

As shown in FIG. 5, the ears 36 are configured with high-elongation sections 3. This reduces the difficulty in hearing when wearing the hood, compared to when the ears 36 are configured with low-elongation sections 2.

By configuring the hood section 15 except for the high elongation section 3 with the hood low elongation section 22, the rigidity of the entire hood section 15 is increased, making it easier to obtain firmness and resilience in the hood section 15, compared to when the entire hood section 15 is configured with the high elongation section 3. A transition region R is also partially provided in the hood section 15 between the low elongation section 2 and the high elongation section 3.

1 and 2, the sleeve end portion 13 has a high elongation portion 3 in the outer forearm front portion 37a, which corresponds to the outer forearm P21 on the front side of the forearm P2 in FIG. 3, and a low elongation portion 2 in the inner forearm front portion 23, which corresponds to the inner forearm P22 on the front side of the forearm P2. From the measurement results in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the inner forearm back portion 37b corresponds to the inner forearm P22, so no significant elongation was observed when the arm was swung, but since elongation is required on both the inside and outside around the wrist, the inner forearm back portion 37b, which continues to the inside of the wrist, is also made to have a high elongation portion 3. A third transition region R3 is provided between the outer forearm front portion 37a and the inner forearm back portion 37b.

The forearm front inner part 23 and the forearm front outer part 37a are arranged adjacent to each other in the width direction. The third transition region R3 is provided with a first intermediate elongation section 51 and a second intermediate elongation section 52 so that the elongation increases from the forearm front outer part 37a to the forearm back inner part 37b.

A tongue portion 23a is provided at the widthwise outer end of the low elongation portion 23 of the forearm, and after sewing, it is adapted to engage with an engaging portion provided at a position lower in elongation than the high elongation portion 3, i.e., the first intermediate elongation portion 51 of the third transition region R3, by an engaging member such as a hook-and-loop fastener.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the rear body 12 is generally composed of a rear body low-stretch section 24, with high-stretch sections 3 provided in a back center section 39 corresponding to the center of the back and shoulder blades B, a back side section 40 corresponding to a back side section P6 continuing to an armpit P4, and an upper arm back section 41 corresponding to the upper arm back section P11 and elbow P3 of the upper arm P1. The upper arm back section 41 includes an elbow section 42 corresponding to the elbow P3.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the shoulder portion 24a corresponding to the shoulder P7 in Figure 3, the upper arm front portion 24b corresponding to the upper arm front surface P12 of the upper arm P1, and the lower back portion 24c below the back side portion 40 constitute part of the low-stretch rear body portion 24.

As shown in FIG. 2, the back center portion 39 has a center portion 39a that extends vertically at a predetermined width in the center of the width of the back body 12, and a bulging portion 39b that bulges outward in the width direction at a height position corresponding to the wearer's shoulder blades B. A maximum elongation portion 5 composed of very weakly tightening tissue is provided in an upper portion 39d of the center portion 39a of the back center portion 39. Generally, the high elongation portion 3 or the maximum elongation portion 5 is provided in the back center portion 39, where discomfort due to sweating during exercise is likely to occur.

The bulging portion 39b is triangular with an apex 39c at the center of each scapula in the width direction. The bulging portion 39b is set to overlap at least the inner portion of the scapula B in the width direction when the wearer's scapula B is in a neutral position (a non-moving state in which the scapula B is not moving).

After sewing, the apex 39c of the bulge 39b is located above the top of the armpit gusset 14 and below the shoulder tip where the ridge of the shoulder 24a intersects with the ridge of the upper arm. The bulge 39b is formed such that the widthwise area narrows downward from the apex 39c.

As shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the scapular portion 43 corresponding to the scapula B has a portion 43a of a pair of bulging portions 39b and a connection portion 43b that connects the portion 43b of the pair of bulging portions 39b. The portion 43a of the pair of bulging portions 39b is a portion of the bulging portion 39b that overlaps in the vertical direction with the scapula B. The connection portion 43b is formed by a portion 43b of the central portion 39a that overlaps in the vertical direction with the portion 43a of the bulging portion 39b.

The vertical position of the back side portion 40 in FIG. 2 is set so as to overlap the bulge portion 39b. Between the back side portion 40 and the bulge portion 39b, a pair of left and right connecting portions 24d are provided, which have a predetermined width and extend along the bulge portion 39b, and connect the left and right shoulder portions 24a and the lower back portion 24c located below the back in the vertical direction. The connecting portions 24d are formed of the low-elongation portion 2. In other words, the low-elongation portion 2 is connected in the vertical direction by each shoulder portion 24a, the connecting portions 24d, and the lower back portion 24c.

As shown in FIG. 2, a fourth transition region R4 is provided between the shoulder 24a and the upper arm back portion 41, a fifth transition region R5 is provided between the back side portion 40 and the lower back portion 24c, and a sixth transition region R6 is provided below the center portion 39a of the back center portion 39 and at the widthwise center of the lower back portion 24c. The fourth to sixth transition regions R4, R5, R6 are composed of the second intermediate elongation portion 52.

With the above configuration, the high elongation section 3, which has a higher elongation than the low elongation section 2, is provided in each area to improve ease of movement when performing sports or outdoor activities, thereby improving performance when performing sports or outdoor activities. Since the difference in elongation between the low elongation section 2 and the high elongation section 4 is created by knitting, there is no need to provide a seam at the transition between the low elongation section 2 and the high elongation section 4, and the decrease in elongation at the transition is suppressed compared to when a seam is provided at the transition. This makes it possible to set the elongation required at a specified area of the wearer while minimizing seams, and suppresses the decrease in elongation in unintended areas.

More specifically, the high-elasticity section 3 is provided in the shoulder blade section (back center section 39) that extends from the widthwise center of the back body 12 to a position corresponding to the wearer's shoulder blades B on both sides. Therefore, when playing sports, for example when swinging the arms during a ski turn, the shoulder blades B are prevented from being restricted due to insufficient elasticity in the shoulder blade section of the garment 1, improving performance when playing sports. Also, by preventing restriction of the shoulder blades, a stress-free state is more easily achieved when participating in outdoor activities.

The high-elasticity section 3 is provided on the upper arm back portion 41 corresponding to the upper arm back portion P11 of the wearer, so that when swinging the arm forward during a ski turn or the like, the upper arm P1 is restrained due to insufficient elasticity of the upper arm back portion 41 of the garment 1, and the range of motion of the arm is prevented from being restricted, improving performance when engaging in sports or outdoor activities. Furthermore, by preventing the range of motion of the arm from being restricted, it is easier to achieve a stress-free state when engaging in outdoor activities.

The high-elasticity section 3 is provided in the underarm area 33 corresponding to the wearer's underarm area P4, so that when playing sports, for example when swinging the arms during a ski turn, the underarm area P4 is prevented from being constrained due to insufficient elasticity of the underarm area 33 of the garment 1, limiting the range of arm movement, thereby improving performance when playing sports. Also, by preventing the range of arm movement from being limited, it is easier to achieve a stress-free state when participating in outdoor activities.

In addition, the difference in elongation between the low elongation section 2 and the high elongation section 3 is created by knitting them separately. For example, by making the knitting structure of the high elongation section coarser than that of the low elongation section, the moisture permeability and heat dissipation of the high elongation section 3 becomes relatively higher than that of the low elongation section 2, thereby improving the moisture permeability and heat dissipation of the underarm area 33, where moisture permeability and heat dissipation are required during general exercise.

The high-elasticity section 3 is provided in the elbow section 42, which corresponds to the wearer's elbow P3. Therefore, when playing sports, for example when swinging the arm during a ski turn, the elbow is restrained due to insufficient elasticity of the elbow section 42 in the garment, which limits the bending angle of the elbow, thereby improving performance when playing sports. Also, by preventing the bending angle of the elbow from being limited, it is easier to achieve a stress-free state when participating in outdoor activities.

The tensile modulus of the high elongation section 3 is set to 0.3 to 0.9 times the tensile modulus of the low elongation section 2, so that the elongation of a specified area can be appropriately set to improve ease of movement when performing sports or outdoor activities. If the tensile modulus of the high elongation section 3 is less than 0.3 times that of the low elongation section, there will be too much difference in elongation, resulting in wrinkles and other unsightly effects, while if it is more than 0.3 times, there will be insufficient elongation of the specified area to improve ease of movement when performing sports or outdoor activities, which will impede movement.

The high elongation section 3 has a stress set to 0.06 N/mm or more and 0.3 N/mm or less at 30% elongation, so that the elongation of a specified area can be appropriately set to improve ease of movement when playing sports. If the stress at 30% elongation is less than 0.06 N/mm, the shape of the garment cannot be maintained, and if the stress at 30% elongation is more than 0.3 N/mm, movement is hindered due to insufficient elongation of the specified area to improve ease of movement when playing sports or outdoor activities.

The low-elongation sections 2 are provided in a pair of shoulders 24a corresponding to the wearer's shoulders P7, a lower back section 24c corresponding to the lower back of the wearer, and a pair of connecting sections 24d provided between the shoulder blade section 43 and the armpit section 33 to vertically connect the shoulders 24a and the lower back section 24c, respectively, so that the low-elongation sections 2, which have lower elongation than the high-elongation sections 3, are continuous in the vertical direction from each shoulder 24a to the lower back. This provides a framework for the garment 1 and gives it firmness and strength, so that the silhouette of the garment 1 is less likely to bulge in the width direction compared to when the high-elongation sections 3 are provided continuously in the width direction. This allows for improved performance when skiing without compromising the aesthetic appearance of the silhouette of the garment 1.

The transition area between the low elongation section 2 and the high elongation section 3 is provided with a transition region R with a higher elongation than the low elongation section 2 and a lower elongation than the high elongation section 3, allowing for a smooth transition in elongation between the low elongation section 2 and the high elongation section 3. Compared to when there is a large difference in elongation between the low elongation section 2 and the high elongation section 3, slack in the high elongation section 3 is suppressed, preventing damage to the aesthetic appearance of the garment.

[Second embodiment]
A garment according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 7 to Fig. 9. Fig. 7 shows a front view of the garment 101 according to the second embodiment, Fig. 8 shows a back view of the garment 101 according to the second embodiment, and Fig. 9 shows a main part around the transition region in Fig. 7.

Garment 101 differs from garment 1 according to the first embodiment in the setting areas of the high-stretch section, low-stretch section, and transition area, and in the stretch settings of each stretch section. Below, the same reference symbols are used for components common to garment 1, and their description is omitted.

In the second embodiment, the low elongation section is composed of the low elongation section 2 in the first embodiment, the high elongation section is composed of the second intermediate elongation section 52 in the first embodiment, and the intermediate elongation section is composed of the first intermediate elongation section 51 in the first embodiment. Therefore, in the second embodiment, the second intermediate elongation section 52 is described as the high elongation section 52, and the first intermediate elongation section 51 is described as the intermediate elongation section 51. Note that the stress at 30% elongation of the high elongation section 52 corresponds to the second intermediate elongation section 52 in the first embodiment, and the stress at 30% elongation of the intermediate elongation section 51 corresponds to the first intermediate elongation section 51 in the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 7, the front body 11 is entirely formed of a front body low-stretch section 21, which is the low-stretch section 2 of the front body 11.

As shown in FIG. 8, the back body main body portion 12a is composed as a whole of the back body low-elasticity portion 24 (2). A high-elasticity portion 52 is provided in the back center 39 corresponding to the center of the back and the shoulder blades. The back center 39 is the part along the spine at the widthwise center of the back body main body portion 12a. The back center 39 extends vertically at a predetermined width W11 at the widthwise center of the back body 12. In other words, the widthwise center of the back body main body portion 12a is formed of a high-elasticity portion 52 that extends continuously vertically from the hem of the back body 12 to the collar.

The back body main body portion 12a has a back body transition region R11 on both widthwise outer sides of the back center portion 39. The back body transition region R11 is set to an intermediate elongation that is higher than the low elongation section 2 and lower than the high elongation section 52. In other words, an intermediate elongation section 51 is provided between the low elongation section 2 and the high elongation section 52 of the back body main body portion 12a.

The low elongation section 2, intermediate elongation section 51, and high elongation section 52 are formed by knitting, as in the first embodiment. More specifically, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 9, the low elongation section 2 is composed of first and second strong tightening tissues a1, a2. The intermediate elongation section 51 is formed by alternating the first strong tightening tissue a1 that constitutes the low elongation section 2 and the weak tightening tissue a3 that constitutes the high elongation section 3 in the first embodiment. This gives the intermediate elongation section 51 a higher elongation than the low elongation section 2.

As shown in FIG. 9, the high elongation section 52 has first strong tightening tissue a1 and weak tightening tissue a3 arranged alternately, like the intermediate elongation section 51, but the ratio of weak tightening tissue a3 to the first strong tightening tissue a1 is set to twice that of the weak tightening tissue a3 so that the first strong tightening tissue a1 is smaller than the weak tightening tissue a3. As a result, the elongation of the high elongation section 52 is higher than that of the intermediate elongation section 51.

In this embodiment, the low elongation section 2 is composed of a first strong tightening tissue a1 and a second strong tightening tissue a2, the intermediate elongation section 51 is composed of a first strong tightening tissue a1 and a weak tightening tissue a3 in a 1:1 ratio, and the high elongation section 52 is configured so that the ratio of the weak tightening tissue a3 is greater than that of the first strong tightening tissue a1. In this way, by providing a transition region between the low elongation section 2 and the high elongation section 52, the occurrence of a sudden difference in elongation is suppressed, and the low elongation section 2 and the high elongation section 52 can be made to blend together.

As shown in FIG. 8, the intermediate elongation section 51 has a predetermined width W12 and extends vertically along the high elongation section 52. The width W12 of the intermediate elongation section 51 is set smaller than the width W11 of the high elongation section 52.

Referring to Figures 7 and 8, the hood portion 15 is composed of a hood low-elongation portion 22 (2) as a whole. The hood portion 15 has a high-elongation portion 52 in a first head center portion 34 that corresponds to the widthwise center of the wearer's head. The first head center portion 34 extends vertically at a predetermined width W11 in the widthwise center portion of the hood portion 15 so as to correspond to the back center portion 39. In other words, the widthwise center portion of the hood portion 15 is formed of a high-elongation portion 52 that extends continuously vertically from the collar to the front side of the hood portion 15.

The hood section 15 has hood transition regions R21 corresponding to the rear body transition region R11 on both widthwise sides of the first head center section 34. The hood transition regions R21 are set to an intermediate elongation that is higher than the low elongation section 2 and lower than the high elongation section 52. In other words, an intermediate elongation section 51 is provided between the low elongation section 2 and the high elongation section 52 of the hood section 15.

By increasing the elasticity of the center of the hood section 15 relative to the hood low-elasticity section 22, the wearer can easily put on and take off a helmet or the like, and the hood can be fitted snugly, making it difficult for air to get in and preventing the hood from coming off in unintended situations.

By providing the hood section 15 with a low hood elongation section 22, the rigidity of the entire hood section 15 is increased, making it easier to achieve firmness and resilience in the hood section 15, compared to when the entire hood section 15 is made up of a high elongation section 52.

As shown in FIG. 8, the high-stretch section 52 is provided in the vertically continuous back center section 39 and the vertically continuous first head center section 34, and the back center section 39 and the first head center section 34 are vertically continuous. As a result, when maintaining a curved back (leaning forward posture) such as when crouching while skiing, it is possible to prevent the back and head from being restricted by insufficient stretch in the garment from the rear body section 12 to the hood section 15, improving performance when playing sports. Furthermore, by preventing restriction from the back to the head, it is easier to achieve a stress-free state when participating in outdoor activities.

In the above embodiment, each pattern of the garment 1 has a low-stretch part and a high-stretch part, and this stretch difference is formed by knitting a single piece of fabric, but this is not limited to the above. For example, at least one of the multiple patterns of the garment 1 may be made of a knitted fabric that has a stretch difference due to the above-mentioned knitting. Specifically, only the back body 12 may be made of the knitted fabric, and the front body 12, sleeve end portion 13, etc. may be made of a combination of conventional knitted fabrics or fabrics (woven fabrics).

Conventional knitted fabrics are more stretchy and easier to move in than woven fabrics, but they are also more susceptible to rain and wind penetration, and have durability issues such as pilling and fuzzing.
The present invention uses a high-density knitted fabric made using the unique technology, which solves these problems by using a durable fabric with tightly woven threads, achieving a smooth surface and waterproofness through the lamination of a breathable waterproof membrane.
By providing a knitted fabric with a moisture-permeable and waterproof film on the back surface of the present invention, a new garment can be provided which has moisture permeability and allows the texture and function of the fabric to be changed for each part without changing the parts.
Furthermore, by analyzing changes in body shape that occur during movement and analysing which parts of the body require ease of movement, the company was able to knit different stretch levels for each part within a single piece of fabric. This means there are no seams where the fabric changes and therefore no stretching, which improves performance.
While it serves as an outer layer to protect against the cold, rain, and wind, it also has an unprecedentedly stylish surface texture, making it comfortable for the wearer.
