Abstract

[Problem] To provide a garment that is worn attached to a body and has improved freedom of design in terms of the tightening force or shape of a tightening portion that manipulates the body shape of a wearer, corrects the wearer's posture, and improves the wearer's motor ability. [Means of Solution] A garment attached tightly to a body, comprising a belt-like tightening portion 32 a, b that has a strong tightening portion 321 a, b, which is a part having a relatively strong tightening force, and a weak tightening portion 322 a, b, which is a part having a relatively weak tightening force, the strong and weak tightening portions being switched in a belt-like longitudinal direction, wherein, in the tightening portion 32 a, b, yarns for reinforcing the tightening forces are continuously knitted into a ground structure throughout the strong tightening portion 321 a, b and the weak tightening portion 322 a, b, and a knit structure of the yarns for reinforcing the tightening forces has a greater number of looping structures in the strong tightening portion 321 a, b than the weak tightening portion 322 a, b, and has a greater number of insertion structures in the weak tightening portion 322 a, b than the strong tightening portion 321 a, b.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A garment attached tightly to a body, comprising a belt-like tightening portion that has a strong tightening portion, which is a part having a strong tightening force, and a weak tightening portion, which is a part having a weaker tightening force than the strong tightening portion, where the strong tightening portion and the weak tightening portion are switched in a belt-like longitudinal direction,
 wherein, in the tightening portion, a yarn for reinforcing the tightening force is continuously knitted into a ground structure throughout the strong tightening portion and the weak tightening portion, and   a knit structure of the yarn for reinforcing the tightening force has a greater number of looping structures in the strong tightening portion than the weak tightening portion, and has a greater number of insertion structures in the weak tightening portion than the strong tightening portion.   
   
   
       2 . A garment attached tightly to a body, comprising a belt-like tightening portion,
 wherein the tightening portion and at least a part of a fabric main body portion that is adjacent to the tightening portion comprise a common ground structure,   the tightening portion has a strong tightening portion, which is a part having a strong tightening force, and a weak tightening portion, which is a part having a weaker tightening force than the strong tightening portion, where the strong tightening portion and the weak tightening portion are switched in a belt-like longitudinal direction,   in the tightening portion, a yarn for reinforcing the tightening force is continuously knitted into the ground structure throughout the strong tightening portion and the weak tightening portion, and   a knit structure of the yarn for reinforcing the tightening force has a greater number of looping structures in the strong tightening portion than the weak tightening portion, and has a greater number of insertion structures in the weak tightening portion than the strong tightening portion.   
   
   
       3 . A garment attached tightly to a body, comprising a belt-like tightening portion,
 wherein a fabric main body portion comprises a plurality of knitted fabric parts that are formed respectively from ground structures having different tightening forces, and border lines of the plurality of knitted fabric parts intersect with the belt-like tightening portion,   the tightening portion has a strong tightening portion, which is a part having a strong tightening force, and a weak tightening portion, which is a part having a weaker tightening force than the strong tightening portion, where the strong tightening portion and the weak tightening portion are switched in a belt-like longitudinal direction,   in the tightening portion, a yarn for reinforcing the tightening force is continuously knitted into each of the ground structures throughout the strong tightening portion and the weak tightening portion, and   a knit structure of the yarn for reinforcing the tightening forces has a greater number of looping structures in the strong tightening portion than the weak tightening portion, and has a greater number of insertion structures in the weak tightening portion than the strong tightening portion, and out of the plurality of knitted fabric parts, a knitted fabric part with a strong tightening force overlaps with at least a part of the strong tightening portion.   
   
   
       4 . The garment according to  claim 1 , wherein the strong tightening portion has a part inclined in a longitudinal direction of the weak tightening portion. 
   
   
       5 . The garment according to  claim 2 , wherein the strong tightening portion has a part inclined in a longitudinal direction of the weak tightening portion. 
   
   
       6 . The garment according to  claim 3 , wherein the strong tightening portion has a part inclined in a longitudinal direction of the weak tightening portion.
