特開平８−１１７３８２号公報JP-A-8-117382

前記したように、従来の筋肉保護強化衣料（トレーナ下衣５２）では、伸縮性生地からなる衣料本体Ｃと伸縮性生地５７，５８やゴム入り生地といったように、伸縮性を有する生地同士を所定位置に位置決めして縫い合わさなければならない。すなわち、一方の生地を固定して他方の生地を縫い付ける作業が必要となるため、縫い付け作業に慎重を期さなければならないことから、作業に多大な手間と時間がかかるうえ熟練を要し、大量生産に不向きであった。これは接着剤を用いた貼り付け作業による場合も同様である。また、緊締用伸縮素材の形状を変更する場合は緊締用伸縮素材の裁断用型紙を作り直さなければならず、デザイン変更の自由度が小さかった。また、緊締用伸縮素材が小さい場合は縫い付けできないこともある。  As described above, in the conventional muscular protection strengthening garment (trainer lower garment 52), the cloth body C made of a stretchable cloth, thestretchable cloths 57 and 58, and the cloths having elasticity such as the cloth with rubber are predetermined. Must be positioned and sewn together. In other words, since it is necessary to fix one fabric and sew the other fabric, it is necessary to be careful in the sewing operation, which requires a lot of labor and time and requires skill. It was unsuitable for mass production. The same applies to the case of an attaching operation using an adhesive. Further, when changing the shape of the elastic material for tightening, the cutting pattern for the elastic material for tightening had to be remade, and the degree of freedom of design change was small. Further, when the elastic material for tightening is small, it may not be sewn.

本発明は、上記した従来の問題点に鑑みてなされたものであって、衣料本体に緊締用伸縮素材を被着する作業に手間と時間がかからず大量生産向きの筋肉保護強化衣料の提供を目的とする。  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and provides a muscular protection-strengthened garment suitable for mass production without requiring labor and time for attaching a stretchable elastic material to the garment body. With the goal.

上記目的を達成するために、本発明に係る筋肉保護強化衣料は、伸縮性生地からなる衣料本体の所定位置に緊締用伸縮素材が被着された衣料であって、緊締用伸縮素材が、印刷により衣料本体に被着されたゴム質材料で構成されているものである。  In order to achieve the above object, the muscular protection strengthening garment according to the present invention is a garment in which an elastic material for tightening is attached to a predetermined position of a clothing body made of an elastic fabric, and the elastic material for tightening is printed. It is comprised with the rubber-like material adhere | attached on the clothing main body by.

また、前記構成において、ゴム質材料がシリコンゴムで構成されているものである。  Further, in the above configuration, the rubber material is made of silicon rubber.

そして、前記した各構成において、緊締用伸縮素材が衣料本体外面の所定位置に被着されており、緊締用伸縮素材が透明ないし半透明になっているものである。  In each of the above-described configurations, the elastic material for tightening is attached to a predetermined position on the outer surface of the clothing body, and the elastic material for tightening is transparent or translucent.

本発明に係る筋肉保護強化衣料によれば、ゴム質材料製の緊締用伸縮素材が印刷により衣料本体に被着されるので、緊締用伸縮素材の被着作業が手間をかけずに短時間に行なえて、筋肉保護強化衣料を大量に生産することができる。また、近年の画像処理技術や印刷技術などの向上により、複雑なデザインパターンの緊締用伸縮素材であっても鮮明に印刷でき、デザイン変更も容易である。  According to the muscular protection strengthening garment according to the present invention, the elastic material for tightening made of rubber material is attached to the clothing main body by printing, so that the work for attaching the elastic material for tightening can be done in a short time without trouble. In addition, it is possible to produce a large amount of clothing for strengthening muscle protection. In addition, with recent improvements in image processing technology and printing technology, it is possible to print clearly even for elastic materials for tightening with complex design patterns, and design changes are easy.

また、ゴム質材料がシリコンゴムで構成されている場合、シリコンゴム製のゴム質材料は広い温度範囲で良好な弾性を保ち、耐熱性、耐水性、耐磨耗性、洗濯堅牢性に富み、人体無害である。また、強く引っ張ってもヒビ割れや断裂を生じにくい。  In addition, when the rubber material is made of silicon rubber, the rubber material made of silicon rubber maintains good elasticity over a wide temperature range, and is rich in heat resistance, water resistance, wear resistance, and washing fastness, It is harmless to the human body. Moreover, even if it pulls strongly, it is hard to produce a crack and a tear.

そして、衣料本体の外面に対し透明ないし半透明の緊締用伸縮素材を被着する場合は、緊締用伸縮素材を透して衣料本体の外面を視認することができる。これにより、衣料本体そのもの、或いは衣料本体の外面に描かれている模様や文字を外部から見ることができる。  When a transparent or translucent tightening elastic material is attached to the outer surface of the clothing body, the outer surface of the clothing body can be visually recognized through the tightening elastic material. Thereby, the clothing main body itself or the pattern and character currently drawn on the outer surface of the clothing main body can be seen from the outside.

本発明の最良の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。尚、以下に述べる実施形態は本発明を具体化した一例に過ぎず、本発明の技術的範囲を限定するものでない。ここに、図１は本発明の一実施形態に係る筋肉保護強化衣料に用いる生地を展開した状態を示す平面図、図２は図１におけるＡ−Ａ線矢視断面図である。
各図において、この実施形態に係る筋肉保護強化衣料の衣料本体Ｃは伸縮性生地で構成されている。衣料本体Ｃの表面には緊締用伸縮素材Ｓが被着されている。衣料本体Ｃの伸縮性生地は、例えばポリウレタン、ポリエステル、ポリアミドの混紡糸で編成された伸縮性を有する生地である。緊締用伸縮素材Ｓは、常温でゴム弾性、すなわち伸ばすと２倍以上に伸び、外力を取り除くとほぼ元に復元する性質を有するゴム質材料で構成されており、この例ではシリコンゴムを使用してある。The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The embodiment described below is merely an example embodying the present invention, and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Here, FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a developed state of the fabric used in the muscle protection strengthening garment according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.
In each figure, the clothing main body C of the muscle protection strengthening clothing according to this embodiment is made of a stretchable fabric. An elastic material S for tightening is attached to the surface of the clothing main body C. The stretchable fabric of the clothing main body C is a stretchable fabric knitted with, for example, a blended yarn of polyurethane, polyester, and polyamide. The elastic material S for tightening is composed of a rubber material that has rubber elasticity at room temperature, that is, stretches more than twice when stretched, and restores to its original state when the external force is removed. In this example, silicon rubber is used. It is.

図１および図２に示した衣料本体Ｃの伸縮性生地は、後述するトレーナ上衣１の袖部４（図４参照）に使用される布地を平たく展開した状態で示してある。この衣料本体Ｃの布地には略Ｖ字状に屈折した形容の緊締用伸縮素材Ｓ１〜Ｓ７が、図１の手前から順に適宜間隔で配置されている。かかる緊締用伸縮素材Ｓ１〜Ｓ７の所定配置により、袖部４用のパターンＰ１が形成される。  The stretchable fabric of the garment body C shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is shown in a state where a fabric used for a sleeve portion 4 (see FIG. 4) of a trainerupper garment 1 described later is flatly developed. On the cloth of the clothing main body C, elastic materials S1 to S7 for tightening which are refracted in a substantially V shape are arranged at appropriate intervals in order from the front of FIG. The pattern P1 for thesleeve 4 is formed by the predetermined arrangement of the elastic materials S1 to S7 for tightening.

ここで、前記した緊締用伸縮素材Ｓを衣料本体Ｃに被着する例を図３に示す。この例ではシルクスクリーン印刷用のスクリーン版Ｂが用いられる。まず、アルミニウム周枠（図示省略）の枠内に紗１０を張り、紗１０の片面に感光乳剤を塗布し、塗布した感光乳剤の層Ｍ１を加熱してその表面を硬化させ、更に、硬化した乳剤層表面への感光乳剤の塗布、および、塗布した乳剤層表面の加熱硬化を繰り返して、４層に積層した乳剤層Ｍ１，Ｍ２，Ｍ３，Ｍ４から成る厚型版Ｍを得た。その後の十分な加熱により硬化した厚型版Ｍの厚さは約４００μｍであった。尚、厚型版Ｍの厚さを５０〜７００μｍ程度にしておくと、緊締力が十分に強く、しかも洗濯堅牢度の高い緊締用伸縮素材Ｓが得られる。乳剤層の積層数は、要求される厚型版Ｍの厚さに応じて選定すればよい。  Here, FIG. 3 shows an example in which the elastic material S for tightening described above is attached to the clothing main body C. FIG. In this example, a screen plate B for silk screen printing is used. First, aridge 10 is stretched in a frame of an aluminum peripheral frame (not shown), a photosensitive emulsion is coated on one side of theridge 10, the layer M1 of the coated photosensitive emulsion is heated to cure its surface, and further cured. The thick plate M comprising emulsion layers M1, M2, M3, and M4 laminated in four layers was obtained by repeating the coating of the photosensitive emulsion on the emulsion layer surface and the heat curing of the coated emulsion layer surface. The thickness of the thick plate M cured by sufficient heating thereafter was about 400 μm. If the thickness of the thick plate M is set to about 50 to 700 μm, the tightening elastic material S having a sufficiently strong tightening force and a high fastness to washing can be obtained. The number of emulsion layers may be selected according to the required thickness of the thick plate M.

この例で用いた紗１０は目開き１２００メッシュでポリエステル微細繊維製である。また、感光乳剤としては例えば酢酸ビニル・アクリル酸系エマルジョンを用いた。この酢酸ビニル・アクリル酸系エマルジョンは、酢酸ビニル・アクリル酸エステル共重合体および汎用感光性樹脂の混合物４５〜５５重量部を少量の界面活性剤により水４５〜５５重量部中に分散させたものである。
次に、パターンＰ１（後述のＰ２〜Ｐ５も同様）に対応した遮光パターンが描かれているフィルムで厚型版Ｍの表面を被い、紫外線を照射して厚型版Ｍの遮光パターン以外の部分を硬化させる。スクリーン版Ｂを水洗すると、遮光パターンで被われていた遮光部分が洗い流されて、図３（ａ）に示すような緊締用伸縮素材Ｓを印刷用の版孔１１が厚型版Ｍに形成される。Theridge 10 used in this example is made of fine polyester fibers with an opening of 1200 mesh. As the photosensitive emulsion, for example, a vinyl acetate / acrylic acid emulsion was used. This vinyl acetate / acrylic acid emulsion is obtained by dispersing 45 to 55 parts by weight of a mixture of a vinyl acetate / acrylic ester copolymer and a general-purpose photosensitive resin in 45 to 55 parts by weight of water with a small amount of a surfactant. It is.
Next, the surface of the thick plate M is covered with a film on which a light-shielding pattern corresponding to the pattern P1 (the same applies to P2 to P5 described later) is drawn, and irradiated with ultraviolet rays, other than the light-shielding pattern of the thick plate M. Harden the part. When the screen plate B is washed with water, the light-shielding portion covered with the light-shielding pattern is washed away, and the elastic plate S for tightening as shown in FIG. The

この実施形態では、スクリーン版Ｂに使用される印刷インクの代わりに、未硬化のシリコンゴム原料を用いた。ここでは、未硬化シリコンゴム原料（硬化反応機構が付加型である信越化学工業社製の製品名ＫＥ−１３００Ｔ）１００ｇに、硬化剤（信越化学工業社製のＣＡＴ−１３００（製品名）、またはＣＬＡ−４（製品名））１０ｇを混練して、ペースト状物を調製した。尚、未硬化シリコンゴム原料として、硬化反応機構が縮合型のものを用いても構わない。
そして、厚型版Ｍを下側に配したスクリーン版Ｂを衣料本体Ｃの上におき（同図（ｂ））、前記のように調製したペースト状物Ｓａをスクリーン版Ｂ上に供給しスクイーズ（図示省略）で展ばすと、ペースト状物Ｓａが紗１０を透過して版孔１１，１１内に充填される。版孔１１，１１内のペースト状物Ｓａは衣料本体Ｃの繊維間に入り込んで衣料本体Ｃに密着する。
その後、スクリーン版Ｂを衣料本体Ｃから引き離すと、版孔１１内のペースト状物Ｓａを伴った衣料本体Ｃが現われる。この衣料本体Ｃは加熱炉（図示省略）で例えば１３０℃、３分間加熱されることにより、ペースト状物Ｓａが硬化して、同図（ｃ）のようにシリコンゴムから成るほぼ透明な緊締用伸縮素材Ｓ，Ｓとなる。但し、ペースト状物Ｓａの硬化に要する加熱温度および時間は前記に限定されない。In this embodiment, an uncured silicon rubber raw material was used in place of the printing ink used for the screen plate B. Here, the curing agent (CAT-1300 (product name) manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.), or 100 g of uncured silicon rubber raw material (product name KE-1300T manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd., which has an addition type curing reaction mechanism), or CLA-4 (product name)) 10 g was kneaded to prepare a paste. As the uncured silicon rubber raw material, a material having a condensation reaction mechanism may be used.
Then, the screen plate B with the thick plate M placed on the lower side is placed on the clothing body C ((b) in the figure), and the paste material Sa prepared as described above is supplied onto the screen plate B and squeezed. When unfolded (not shown), the paste-like material Sa passes through theridge 10 and fills the plate holes 11 and 11. The paste-like material Sa in the plate holes 11 and 11 enters between the fibers of the clothing main body C and adheres to the clothing main body C.
Thereafter, when the screen plate B is pulled away from the clothing main body C, the clothing main body C accompanied by the paste-like material Sa in the plate hole 11 appears. The clothing body C is heated in a heating furnace (not shown), for example, at 130 ° C. for 3 minutes, so that the paste-like material Sa is cured, and as shown in FIG. Elastic material S, S. However, the heating temperature and time required for curing the paste-like material Sa are not limited to the above.

上記した緊締用伸縮素材Ｓを有する衣料本体Ｃを用いて、図４に示すようなトレーナ上衣（筋肉保護強化衣料の例）１およびトレーナ下衣（筋肉保護強化衣料の例）２が縫製される。トレーナ上衣１は胴部３と左右の袖部４，４からなり、トレーナ下衣２は股上部５と左右の下肢部６，６からなっている。
トレーナ上衣１の袖部４，４には、既述したパターンＰ１，Ｐ１の緊締用伸縮素材Ｓがそれぞれスクリーン印刷により被着されている。トレーナ下衣２の股上部５の履き口には全周にわたるパターンＰ２の緊締用伸縮素材Ｓがスクリーン印刷により被着され、下肢部６，６の大腿部分にはパターンＰ３，Ｐ３の緊締用伸縮素材Ｓがそれぞれスクリーン印刷により被着されている。下肢部６，６の膝上下部分にはパターンＰ４，Ｐ４の緊締用伸縮素材Ｓがそれぞれスクリーン印刷により被着され、下肢部６，６の裾部分にはパターンＰ５，Ｐ５の緊締用伸縮素材Ｓがそれぞれスクリーン印刷により被着されている。
尚、緊締用伸縮素材Ｓが被着される衣料本体Ｃの所定位置とは、衣料本体Ｃが着用者の体にぴったりフィットした状態で所望の筋肉を締め付けて保護したり強化することのできる部位であり、本実施形態では図１〜図４に示したパターンＰ１〜Ｐ５の位置である。但し、本発明は前記のパターンＰ１〜Ｐ５の位置に限定されず、例えば従来技術のトレーナ下衣５２（図５参照）に用いた、広い面積の伸縮性生地５７，５８に替えて、これらを取り除いた位置にゴム質材料を印刷で被着しても構わない。A trainer upper garment (an example of muscle protection strengthening clothing) 1 and a trainer lower garment (an example of muscle protection strengthening clothing) 2 as shown in FIG. 4 are sewn using the clothing body C having the elastic material S for tightening described above. . The trainerupper garment 1 includes a trunk portion 3 and left andright sleeve portions 4 and 4, and the trainerlower garment 2 includes acrotch portion 5 and left and rightlower limb portions 6 and 6.
The elastic members S for tightening the patterns P1 and P1 described above are attached to thesleeve portions 4 and 4 of the trainerupper garment 1 by screen printing. An elastic material S for tightening the pattern P2 over the entire circumference is applied to the mouth of thecrotch 5 of the trainerlower garment 2 by screen printing, and the elastic elements for tightening the patterns P3 and P3 are applied to the thighs of thelower limbs 6 and 6 Each material S is applied by screen printing. The elastic material S for tightening of patterns P4 and P4 is attached to the upper and lower knees of thelower limbs 6 and 6 by screen printing, respectively, and the elastic material for tightening S of the patterns P5 and P5 is applied to the hems of thelower limbs 6 and 6 respectively. Are each applied by screen printing.
In addition, the predetermined position of the clothing main body C to which the elastic material S for tightening is attached is a portion where the desired muscle can be tightened to be protected or strengthened in a state in which the clothing main body C fits the wearer's body. In this embodiment, the positions of the patterns P1 to P5 shown in FIGS. However, the present invention is not limited to the positions of the patterns P1 to P5. For example, instead of thestretchable fabrics 57 and 58 having a large area used for the trainer undergarment 52 (see FIG. 5) of the prior art, these are used. The rubber material may be applied to the removed position by printing.

上記した構成のトレーナ上衣１およびトレーナ下衣２を着用すれば、各衣料本体Ｃ，Ｃが着用者の上半身と下半身を包んでそれぞれにフィットする。そして、トレーナ上衣１の袖部４の緊締用伸縮素材Ｓ（Ｐ１）がその被蔽位置周りの筋肉を素材長手方向に締め付けて強化する。トレーナ下衣２の股上部５の緊締用伸縮素材Ｓ（Ｐ２）はトレーナ下衣２を腰で止めるゴム紐の役割を果たす。下肢部６上部の緊締用伸縮素材Ｓ（Ｐ３）はその被蔽位置周りの筋肉を素材長手方向に締め付けて強化する。下肢部６中央の緊締用伸縮素材Ｓ（Ｐ４）は膝関節あるいは膝関節周りの筋や腱を保護し、膝関節周りの筋肉を強化する。下肢部６下端の緊締用伸縮素材Ｓ（Ｐ５）は下肢部６の先端を足首に止めるゴム紐の役割を果たしている。尚、図示は省略するが、トレーナ上衣１の袖部４の衣料本体Ｃの肘に対面する位置（所定位置）に緊締用伸縮素材Ｓを配置することにより、肘関節を保護し肘関節周りの筋肉を強化できる。これにより、野球投手やテニス選手が罹りやすい肘の故障を未然に防いだり、故障になった場合でも回復を早めることができる。  If the trainerupper garment 1 and the trainerlower garment 2 having the above-described configuration are worn, the clothing main bodies C and C wrap around the wearer's upper body and lower body to fit each other. The elastic material S (P1) for tightening thesleeve portion 4 of the trainerupper garment 1 tightens and strengthens the muscles around the covered position in the longitudinal direction of the material. The elastic material S (P2) for tightening of thecrotch part 5 of thetrainer undergarment 2 serves as a rubber string that holds thetrainer undergarment 2 at the waist. The elastic material S (P3) for tightening at the upper part of thelower limb 6 tightens the muscles around the covered position in the longitudinal direction of the material and strengthens it. The elastic material S (P4) for tightening at the center of thelower limb 6 protects the knee joint or the muscles and tendons around the knee joint and strengthens the muscles around the knee joint. The elastic material S (P5) for tightening at the lower end of thelower limb part 6 serves as a rubber string that holds the tip of thelower limb part 6 to the ankle. In addition, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, by arrange | positioning the elastic material S for tightening in the position (predetermined position) which faces the elbow of the clothing main body C of thesleeve part 4 of the trainerupper garment 1, an elbow joint is protected and the circumference | surroundings around an elbow joint Can strengthen muscles. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the elbow from being easily affected by a baseball pitcher or a tennis player, and to speed up the recovery even if a malfunction occurs.

そして、トレーナ上衣１およびトレーナ下衣２は、シリコンゴム製の緊締用伸縮素材Ｓがスクリーン印刷によって衣料本体Ｃに被着されるので、衣料本体Ｃへの緊締用伸縮素材Ｓの被着作業を手間をかけずに短時間で行なうことができ、大量生産に好適である。また、近年の画像処理技術、スクリーン版製作技術、およびゴム質材料品質などの向上化により、緊締用伸縮素材Ｓのパターン形状が複雑であったり細かい場合でも確実かつ鮮明に被着することができる。加えて、印刷パターンは画像処理技術により容易に変更できるため、印刷パターンのデザイン変更の自由度が格段に大きくなる。  In the trainerupper garment 1 and the trainerlower garment 2, since the elastic material S for tightening made of silicon rubber is attached to the clothing main body C by screen printing, the attaching work of the elastic material for tightening S to the clothing main body C is performed. It can be carried out in a short time without trouble, and is suitable for mass production. In addition, due to recent improvements in image processing technology, screen plate manufacturing technology, and rubbery material quality, even if the pattern shape of the elastic material for tightening S is complicated or fine, it can be reliably and clearly applied. . In addition, since the print pattern can be easily changed by image processing technology, the degree of freedom in changing the design of the print pattern is greatly increased.

また、緊締用伸縮素材Ｓを構成するシリコンゴムは広い温度範囲で良好な弾性を保ち、耐熱性、耐水性、耐磨耗性、洗濯堅牢性に富み、人体無害である。また、強く引っ張ってもほとんどヒビ割れや断裂を生じない。そして、緊締用伸縮素材Ｓを透明に構成したことにより、衣料本体Ｃの表面に描かれている模様や文字を緊締用伸縮素材Ｓを透して外部から視認することができる。これにより、例えば野球用のアンダーシャツの袖外面に袖の地色とは異なる色の模様などを表わすことが禁止されているような場合に、その袖外面に緊締用伸縮素材を被着したとしても、緊締用伸縮素材を透して袖の地色が表れるので、忌憚なく緊締用伸縮素材を用いることができる。あるいは、プロスポーツ用のユニフォームのようにスポンサーの商標（文字や図形）が外面に表わされているユニフォームにおいて、スポンサー商標が表わされている部分と緊締用伸縮素材を被着する部分とが重複した場合でも、外部から緊締用伸縮素材を透してスポンサー商標を見ることができるのである。  Further, the silicon rubber constituting the elastic material S for tightening maintains good elasticity in a wide temperature range, is rich in heat resistance, water resistance, abrasion resistance, washing fastness, and is harmless to the human body. Moreover, even if it pulls strongly, it does not produce a crack and tear. And since the elastic material S for fastening is comprised transparently, the pattern and the character currently drawn on the surface of the clothing main body C can be visually recognized from the exterior through the elastic material S for fastening. As a result, for example, when it is prohibited to represent a pattern of a color different from the sleeve ground color on the sleeve outer surface of a baseball undershirt, the elastic material for tightening is attached to the outer surface of the sleeve. However, since the ground color of the sleeve appears through the elastic material for tightening, the elastic material for tightening can be used without any hesitation. Alternatively, in a uniform in which a sponsor's trademark (characters or figures) is represented on the outer surface, such as a professional sports uniform, a portion where the sponsor trademark is represented and a portion to which an elastic material for tightening is attached Even if they overlap, the sponsor trademark can be seen from the outside through the elastic material for tightening.

尚、上記の実施形態では、衣料本体Ｃの外面だけに緊締用伸縮素材Ｓを印刷で被着した例を示したが、本発明はそれに限定されるものでなく、例えば緊締用伸縮素材Ｓを衣料本体Ｃの内面だけに、あるいは、外面および内面の双方背中合わせの位置に印刷で被着しても構わない。そして、緊締用伸縮素材を構成するゴム質材料としては、上述したシリコンゴムに替えて、例えば、ブチルゴム、ニトリルブチルゴム、ウレタンゴムなどを使用することも可能である。
また、緊締用伸縮素材を衣料本体に印刷する方法としては、既述したシルクスクリーン印刷法に替えて、例えば汎用の型押しウェルダー法を利用して印刷することも可能である。この型押しウェルダー法は、印刷パターンに対応して金型に形成された型穴から加熱溶融したゴム質材料を押し出して衣料本体上に被着させるものである。また、本発明では、半透明のゴム質材料や、染料や顔料などを添加して着色したゴム質材料を用いることもできる。
そして、本発明の筋肉保護強化衣料は、上記したトレーナ上衣およびトレーナ下衣以外にも、例えばタイツ、パンティストッキング、靴下、日よけ用長手袋、身体各部位用のサポータ、スポーツ用または日用のアンダーシャツなど、身体に密着して着用される衣料に適用可能である。尚、靴下の足首部分に本発明の緊締用伸縮素材を被着しておけば、足首関節の故障を防いだり故障の回復を早めることができる。In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the elastic material for tightening S is attached only to the outer surface of the clothing main body C by printing is shown. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, the elastic material for tightening S You may apply | coat to only the inner surface of the clothing main body C, or the back-to-back position of both the outer surface and the inner surface by printing. Further, as the rubber material constituting the elastic material for tightening, for example, butyl rubber, nitrile butyl rubber, urethane rubber or the like can be used instead of the above-described silicon rubber.
Further, as a method for printing the elastic material for tightening on the clothing body, for example, a general-purpose embossing welder method may be used instead of the silk screen printing method described above. In this embossing welder method, a rubber material heated and melted is extruded from a mold hole formed in a mold corresponding to a printing pattern, and is deposited on a clothing main body. In the present invention, a translucent rubber material, or a rubber material colored by adding a dye or a pigment can also be used.
And the muscle protection strengthening garment of the present invention is, for example, tights, pantyhose, socks, sunscreen gloves, supporters for body parts, sports or daily use in addition to the trainer upper garment and the trainer garment described above. It can be applied to clothing such as undershirts that are worn in close contact with the body. If the elastic material for tightening of the present invention is attached to the ankle portion of the sock, failure of the ankle joint can be prevented and recovery from the failure can be accelerated.
