Abstract

This invention is a garment with a crotch, comprising: a tubular main portion ( 10 ) for covering an area around an abdomen and buttocks; and a tightening portion ( 20 ) having a desired area and having a tightening force stronger than that of the main portion ( 10 ), the tightening portion being disposed to vertically span a virtual reference line (L) extending from left and right greater trochanters ( 300 ) to an under-crotch position of a wearer by a shortest path along skin of buttocks.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A garment with a crotch, comprising:
 a tubular main portion for covering an area around an abdomen and buttocks; and   a tightening portion having a tightening force stronger than that of the main portion, the tightening portion being disposed to vertically span a virtual reference line extending from left and right greater trochanters to an under-crotch position of a wearer by a shortest path along skin of buttocks.   
     
     
         2 . A garment with a crotch, comprising:
 a tubular main portion for covering an area around an abdomen and buttocks; and   a tightening portion having a tightening force stronger than that of the main portion, the tightening portion being disposed to vertically span a virtual reference line passing through greater trochanters to extend in a direction of an under-crotch position,   wherein the virtual reference line inclines with respect to a horizontal direction by 12 to 32 degrees.   
     
     
         3 . The garment according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the tightening portion is formed along the virtual reference line to intermittently protrude upward, and   the protruding portion is formed such that an upper-half portion has a smaller area than a lower-half portion when an entire length of the protruding portion in a protruding direction is virtually divided into the two upper-half and lower-half portions.   
     
     
         4 . The garment according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the tightening portion is formed along the virtual reference line to intermittently protrude downward, and   the protruding portion is formed such that a lower-half portion has a smaller area than an upper-half portion when an entire length of the protruding portion in a protruding direction is virtually divided into the two upper-half and lower-half portions.   
     
     
         5 . The garment according to  claim 4 , further comprising a supplemental tightening portion being adjacent to the main portion and the tightening portion, being more relax than the tightening portion while having a tightening force stronger than that of the main portion, the supplemental tightening portion being disposed in a gap within the tightening portion along the virtual reference line. 
     
     
         6 . The garment according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the tightening portion is formed along the virtual reference line to intermittently protrude downward, and   the protruding portion is formed such that a lower-half portion has a smaller area than an upper-half portion when an entire length of the protruding portion in a protruding direction is virtually divided into the two upper-half and lower-half portions.   
     
     
         7 . The garment according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the tightening portion is formed along the virtual reference line to intermittently protrude upward, and   the protruding portion is formed such that an upper-half portion has a smaller area than a lower-half portion when an entire length of the protruding portion in a protruding direction is virtually divided into the two upper-half and lower-half portions.   
     
     
         8 . The garment according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the tightening portion is formed along the virtual reference line to intermittently protrude downward, and   the protruding portion is formed such that a lower-half portion has a smaller area than an upper-half portion when an entire length of the protruding portion in a protruding direction is virtually divided into the two upper-half and lower-half portions.   
     
     
         9 . The garment according  claim 8 , further comprising a supplemental tightening portion being adjacent to the main portion and the tightening portion, being more relax than the tightening portion while having a tightening force stronger than that of the main portion, the supplemental tightening portion being disposed in a gap within the tightening portion along the virtual reference line. 
     
     
         10 . The garment according to  claim 7 , wherein
 the tightening portion is formed along the virtual reference line to intermittently protrude downward, and   the protruding portion is formed such that a lower-half portion has a smaller area than an upper-half portion when an entire length of the protruding portion in a protruding direction is virtually divided into the two upper-half and lower-half portions.
