  • Patent number: 9402426
    Abstract: Patterns for bodies and sleeves are devised to reduce the pull of the bodies from the sleeves when an arm is moved up, down, forward and backward. In an upper garment 1, portions 67 and 87 to be sewn to a first sewing reference position 6 on a front body 2 in a front portion to be sewn 54 in a front sleeve portion 51 project toward the front body 2 relative to a shoulder point SP, and project toward the front body 2 relative to a boundary point 65 between the front portion to be sewn 54 and the first end portion to be sewn 6, and portions 72 and 89 to be sewn to a second sewing reference position 12 on a back body 3 in a back portion to be sewn 55 in a back sleeve portion 52 project toward the back body 3 relative to the shoulder point SP, and project toward the back body 3 relative to a boundary point 70 between the back portion to be sewn 55 and the second end portion to be sewn 12.

  • Publication number: 20150164148
    Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide an upper garment that prevents sleeves from dropping and a garment body from unnecessarily largely moving, is less likely to lose its shape, and can provide a comfortable wear feeling, even during strenuous exercise such as sports, particularly, when the arm is raised or rotated. A sleeve peak point 6 of an armhole 5 is located between: a trapezius muscle stop point b1 on a shoulder ridge line L of a wearer in an arm A lowered state; and a trapezius muscle stop point b3 on the shoulder ridge line L of the wearer in an arm A raised state, whereby an arm bending point during arm raising and the armhole 5 coincide with each other. Hence, when the arm A is raised or rotated, sleeves 4 are prevented from dropping, and a garment body is prevented from unnecessarily largely moving.

  • Patent number: 8893312
    Abstract: An athletic wear 1 of the present invention is formed of first clothing fabric F1 having small elastic modulus and second clothing fabric F2 having larger elastic modulus than first clothing fabric F1. First belt part 10 is formed by second clothing fabric covering circumference of upper part of pelvis Bh in wear 1. First belt part 10 essentially continuously comprises belt front part 11, belt back part 13 and pair belt side parts 12 covering upper part of pelvis Bh. Upper edge line of belt part slopes as extends from center of belt back part to center of belt front part.

  • Publication number: 20130312154
    Abstract: An upper garment having a gusset including three blocks of a flank part, an underarm part, and a sleeve part. The flank part and the sleeve part each have both side edges defined by a gently curved line or a straight line. The underarm part of the gusset includes a front convex part -and a back convex part at both side edges of a front underarm part and a back underarm part, the front convex part -and the back convex part being gradually curved so as to become largest in width in a vicinity of an arm hole bottom. A front body piece, a back body piece, and a sleeve to which the front convex part and the back convex part of the gusset are sewn are configured in different shapes without concaves that are matched with the front convex part and the back convex part of the gusset.

  • Publication number: 20120011635
    Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a wear that can be put on by a wearer without feeling of looseness, tightening, or shrinkage, and that enables smooth activities. A wear 1 according to the present invention is wear 1 configured using a fabric having stretchability, where a side region 4 of a back body part having a predetermined width from a body side part 2 towards a center in a width direction of a dorsal surface and extending along a vertical direction across an armpit part 3 is formed with a linear site S, whose stretchability in a predetermined direction along the width direction is smaller than adjacent portions, along the predetermined direction.

  • Patent number: 7913323
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide an upper body garment that is capable of facilitating the action of raising the arms while reducing the activities of muscles by preventing unnecessary restriction of the muscles. The upper body garment is characterized in that a low stretchable portion is disposed in a predetermined area of the back side of the garment. The predetermined area extends from one end side to the opposite end side in the width direction of the back side of the garment and contains at least areas in which the inferior angles of the right and left scapulas are respectively displaced during raising the arms. The low stretchable portion has a stretching ratio smaller in the width direction of the back side than an area near at least a neck portion of the back side.

  • Patent number: 7526929
    Abstract: The invention provides tights that are capable of efficiently training the psoas major while preventing discomfort of wearing the tights due to the high elastic portions provided over an area in which no load for the psoas major is required. There are provided tights characterized in that it includes a high elastic portion that is formed in a predetermined area of a back side of the tights, which area corresponding to a region of the buttocks and the posterior thigh of the human body in which the skin of the region is stretched greatly when the femoral region of the human body is lifted, the high elastic portion being higher in elastic modulus in the height direction than the area of the back side of the tights other than the predetermined area and an area of a front side of the tights corresponding to at least the abdomen and the anterior thigh.
