Description
BACKGROUND
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to pants having a hip-up
function, and more particularly, to pants having a hip-up function
for compressing buttocks when worn to give a shapely
appearance.
[0003] 2. Discussion of Related Art
[0004] As physical appearance becomes important in society and
interpersonal relations, people want to have an attractive and
well-proportioned body. To meet such a demand, clothes for
body-shaping have been released in various shapes.
[0005] These clothes include underwear that compresses an
underbelly to prevent protrusion thereof, underwear that compresses
buttocks to prevent them from sagging, and underwear capable of
preventing both the underbelly from protruding and the buttocks
from sagging.
[0006] However, since the underwear for body-shaping must be put on
separately from an outer garment, wearing and use of it is
inconvenient. While pants with a lining for body-shaping have been
provided to overcome such a drawback, the lining in the pants is
simply formed to compress the buttocks and underbelly, so that
effects for body-shaping attributable to the lining are not
satisfactory. That is, it has been difficult to shape sagging or
laterally protruding buttocks.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0007] The present invention is directed to pants having a hip-up
function to shape buttocks.
[0008] One aspect of the present invention provides pants having a
hip-up function, including: an elastic lining for shaping a body;
and an elastic wrinkle portion provided in a cleavage portion
between buttocks in the lining.
[0009] The wrinkle portion may be formed to be elastically wrinkled
along the cleavage portion between the buttocks.
[0010] The wrinkle portion may be elastically sewn by thread to
maintain the wrinkle.
[0011] The wrinkle portion may include an elastic band attached
along the cleavage portion between the buttocks to maintain the
wrinkle.
[0012] The lining may have an upper end that is fixed to a belt
portion of the pants, and both lateral ends that are fixed to both
seamed sides of the pants.

invention; and
[0017] FIG. 4 is a rear view illustrating a case in which a wearer
puts on the pants having a hip-up function according to the present
invention, in which a wrinkle portion according to another
exemplary embodiment is illustrated.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
[0018] The present invention will be described more fully
hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which
exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown. This invention
may, however, be embodied in different forms and should not be
construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. In the
drawings, portions irrelevant to a description of the present
invention are omitted for clarity, and like reference numerals
denote like elements.
[0019] FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating an appearance of
pants according to one exemplary embodiment of the present
invention, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of buttocks
of the pants illustrated in FIG. 1. As illustrated, pants 10 having
a hip-up function according to one exemplary embodiment of the
present invention include a lining 20 provided in the buttocks of
the pants so as to shape a body (in particular, buttocks) of a
wearer.
[0020] The pants 10 include a front portion 11 and a rear portion
12 that are coupled to each other by sewing after cutting, and a
belt portion 13. The front portion 11 and the rear portion 12 are
coupled to each other by sewing portions 14 of both lateral sides
(outer sides) of legs, and sewing portions 15 of internal sides of
the legs. Further, the belt portion 13 is coupled to upper ends of
the front portion 11 and the rear portion 12 that are coupled to
each other by sewing. In addition, a cleavage portion 12a of the
buttocks of the rear portion 12 is coupled by sewing. While the
pants 10 having lower ends capable of covering ankles are
illustrated, pants may be manufactured as shorts.
[0021] The lining 20 is formed of highly flexible and elastic
fabric capable of compressing the buttocks and surrounding region
when the pants 10 are worn. It is obvious that other materials
having elasticity and compressing the body to shape it may be used
for the lining 20.
[0022] As illustrated in FIG. 2, the lining 20 is provided in the
buttocks to compress the buttocks and surrounding region of the
pants 10, the upper end is fixed to the belt portion 13 of the
pants 10, and lateral ends of both sides are fixed to the sewing
portions 14 of both sides. Further, a cleavage portion 20a is
provided between the buttocks in the lining 20 to correspond to the
cleavage portion 12a between the buttocks of the pants 10.
[0023] Since the lining 20 is formed of an elastic material and its
upper end and both lateral ends are fixed to the pants 10, when a
wearer wears the pants 10, the pants 10 compress the body such that
the buttocks are pushed upward to be shaped. In particular, the
lining 20 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present
invention has a wrinkle portion 30 in the cleavage portion 20a
between the buttocks to more attractively shape the buttocks.
[0024] As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the wrinkle portion 30 is
formed to be elastically wrinkled along the cleavage portion 20a
between the buttocks. In the wrinkle portion 30, wrinkles of the
cleavage portion 20a are formed bigger than those of both sides
such that the cleavage portion 20a is more elasticized than both
sides of the lining 20. The wrinkle is formed in a longitudinal
direction from the cleavage portion between the buttocks to be
elasticized in up and down directions when a wearer wears the pants
10. That is, the wrinkle is formed in a repeated overlapping manner
in up and down directions along the cleavage portion 20a. Also, as
illustrated in FIG. 3, in order to maintain such a shape of the
wrinkle portion 30, the cleavage portion 20a may be sewn by thread
31 in an elastic manner (e.g., zigzag) or may be bonded by an
elastic bonding means. Moreover, as illustrated in FIG. 4, an
elastic band 32 such as a rubber band may be bonded along the
cleavage portion 20a.
[0025] Elastic resilience enables such a wrinkle portion 30 to have
big wrinkles when the pants 10 are not worn, and when the pants 10
are worn, the wrinkle portion 30 stretches to fit an appearance of
the body. Since the stretched wrinkle portion 30 has elasticity
that returns to the original shape, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the
elasticity of the cleavage portion between the buttocks may be
greater than that of the surrounding region. That is, a force to
tighten the buttocks is intensively applied to the cleavage portion
where the wrinkle portion 30 is formed. This is because the
flexibility formed by the wrinkle portion 30 together with the
elasticity of the lining 20 are intensively applied to the cleavage
portion. Further, this is because the upper end of the lining 20 is
fixed to the belt portion 13 of the pants to upwardly stretch the
cleavage portion 20a of the lining 20 in which the wrinkle portion
30 is provided.
[0026] The tightening force of the lining 20 enables lower portions
(sagging portions) of the buttocks to be lifted and laterally
protruding portions of the buttocks to be gathered towards the
cleavage portion, so that the buttocks are shaped. That is, the
sagging buttocks are lifted, and the laterally protruding portions
of the buttocks are tightened towards the cleavage portion between
the buttocks to shape the body.
[0027] Pants having a hip-up function according to the present
invention have a wrinkle portion in a cleavage portion between
buttocks in a lining, so that a tightening force of the lining
functions to lift the buttocks upward, and at the same time, to
gather them towards the cleavage portion between the buttocks. As a
result, the buttocks are shaped. That is, lower portions (sagging
portions) of the buttocks are lifted and laterally protruding
portions of the buttocks are gathered towards the cleavage portion
to shape the buttocks.
[0028] In the drawings and specification, there have been disclosed
typical exemplary embodiments of the invention and, although
specific terms are employed, they are used in a generic and
descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation. As for
the scope of the invention, it is to be set forth in the following
claims. Therefore, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill
in the art that various changes in form and details may be made
therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present
invention as defined by the following claims.
