UPPER GARMENT
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 b.sub.1 on a shoulder ridge line L of
a wearer in an arm A lowered state; and a trapezius muscle stop
point b.sub.3 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.
Further, a portion of the armhole 5 on a front garment body 2 side
is designed to pass through a deltopectoral groove between a
deltoid muscle E and a pectoralis major muscle D of the wearer,
whereby the upward retainability of the sleeves and the position
stability of the garment body are further improved.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to an upper garment that is
less likely to lose its shape and can provide a comfortable wear
feeling even during strenuous exercise such as sports, because
armhole shapes of sleeves of the upper garment are devised.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] Up to now, upper garments that are expected to provide wear
feelings improved by devising sleeve shapes are disclosed in Patent
Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2.
[0003] Unfortunately, these upper garments are likely to lose their
shapes and cannot provide comfortable wear feelings during
strenuous exercise such as sports.
[0004] A conventional upper garment 11 used for sports shirts and
the like includes a front garment body 12, a back garment body 13,
and sleeves 14. The sleeves 14 and the front garment body 12 are
sewn to each other through armholes 15, and the sleeves 14 and the
back garment body 13 are sewn to each other through the armholes
15.
[0005] Examples of the sleeves 14 having shapes standard for the
conventional upper garment 11 include a set-in sleeve illustrated
in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 and a raglan sleeve illustrated in FIG. 7 to
FIG. 9.
[0006] Particularly the set-in sleeve is considered as a prototype
of sleeves, and is adopted for the most items.
[0007] As illustrated in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the set-in sleeve is
designed such that a sleeve peak point 16 of an armhole 15 passes
through a shoulder tip point S.
[0008] Features of the set-in sleeve are as follows.
[0009] 1) The set-in sleeve is designed such that the wear comfort
becomes best in the state where the arm is naturally lowered.
[0010] 2) The set-in sleeve has a simple structure, and thus is
easily suited to every design.
[0011] Next, as illustrated in FIG. 7 to FIG. 9, the raglan sleeve
is obtained by developing the set-in sleeve, and is more improved
in functionality.
[0012] As illustrated in FIG. 7 to FIG. 9, the raglan sleeve is
designed such that a portion of an armhole 15 on the front garment
body 12 side connects a front armpit point F to the front side of a
neck side point N.sub.2 and that a portion of the armhole 15 on the
back garment body 13 side connects a back armpit point H to the
back side of the neck side point N.sub.2. A shoulder tip portion at
a sleeve peak of the raglan sleeve is rounded.
[0013] The raglan sleeve is used particularly in the case where a
portion around the shoulder is desired to be seamless, and features
of the raglan sleeve are as follows.
[0014] 1) The raglan sleeve follows the roundness of the shoulder
tip of the human body, and the sleeve edge thereof is not
significantly lowered, whereby the wear comfort and the exercise
performance are considered.
[0015] 2) The armhole is wide, and this enables the arm to easily
pass therethrough.
[0016] 3) Because there is no seam around the shoulder, a seam
allowance is less likely to contact the skin.
[0017] Moreover, Patent Literature 3 discloses a bicycle shirt worn
by cyclists and the like, in which each armhole is formed in a
special shape as illustrated in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, in order to:
cause almost no unnecessary crease even at a posture at which a
wearer rides on a bicycle; and reduce stresses applied to the body
of the wearer such as a stiffening feeling and a twitching feeling
of the shirt.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION
Technical Problem
[0021] In the upper garment 11 such as a shirt worn for strenuous
exercise such as sports, an arm A is larger in displacement than a
body trunk part B when the arm is raised or rotated. Hence, each
sleeve 14 that covers the arm A large in displacement needs to have
a function (upward retainability) of preventing the sleeve 14 from
dropping during a motion and reducing twitches caused by contact
with an arm upper part. Moreover, the garment body that covers the
body trunk part A small in displacement needs to have a function
(position stability) of reducing twitches caused by inward/outward
or frontward/backward displacement of the garment body during a
motion.
[0022] As a result of measuring a change in shape of a shoulder
upper part during arm raising, as illustrated in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6,
the arm A and the body trunk part B are bent around trapezius
muscle stop points when the shoulder is rotated outward. Then,
trapezius muscle stop points b.sub.1, b.sub.2, and b.sub.3 as arm
bending points move toward the neck side point N.sub.2 as the
shoulder is rotated outward. In the case of an average adult man,
the distances from the neck side point N.sub.2 to the trapezius
muscle stop points b.sub.1, b.sub.2, and b.sub.3 are as follows:
the distance from the trapezius muscle stop point b.sub.1 to the
neck side point N.sub.2 in an arm lowered state is 75 mm; the
distance from the trapezius muscle stop point b.sub.2 to the neck
side point N.sub.2 in a state where the arm A is raised at an angle
of 90.degree. as indicated by an alternate long and short dash line
in FIG. 4 is 60 mm; and the distance from the trapezius muscle stop
point b.sub.3 to the neck side point N.sub.2 in a state where the
arm A is raised at an angle of 150.degree. as indicated by a broken
line in FIG. 4 is 45 mm. In this way, as the arm A is raised from
its lowered state, the trapezius muscle stop points b.sub.1,
b.sub.2, and b.sub.3 move toward the neck side point N.sub.2.
[0023] Unfortunately, the conventional set-in sleeve and the
conventional raglan sleeve are designed without considering the
positions of the arm bending points, that is, the trapezius muscle
stop points b.sub.1, b.sub.2, and b.sub.3 when the arm A is raised
or rotated.
[0024] For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the armhole
15 of the set-in sleeve is designed to suit the shape of the arm A
from the shoulder tip point S when the arm A is naturally lowered.
That is, because fitness standards are placed on a static state of
the human body, the sleeve drops during arm raising, and twitches
are caused by contact with the arm upper part. In this regard, the
upward retainability of the sleeve is not considered.
[0025] Moreover, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the armhole 15 of the
set-in sleeve is located on the outer side of a border (a region in
light black) between the body trunk part B small in displacement
and the arm A large in displacement. Hence, when the arm A is
rotated, the garment body contacts the arm A large in displacement,
and the garment body thus does not fit the body trunk part B, so
that even the garment body that is originally undesired to move
moves unfavorably.
[0026] Meanwhile, the raglan sleeve is designed to follow the
roundness of the shoulder tip of the human body to some degree,
considering wear comfort. Accordingly, although not as obviously as
the set-in sleeve, the sleeve edge of the raglan sleeve faces
downward. Hence, the sleeve drops during arm raising, and twitches
are caused by contact with the arm upper part. In this regard, the
upward retainability of the sleeve is not considered.
[0027] Moreover, as illustrated in FIG. 7 to FIG. 9, the armhole 15
of the raglan sleeve is located across the border between the body
trunk part B small in displacement and the arm A large in
displacement. Hence, when the arm A is rotated, the sleeve 14
contacts the arm A large in displacement, and the garment body thus
does not fit the body trunk part B, so that even the garment body
that is originally undesired to move moves unfavorably.
[0028] Moreover, the bicycle shirt (a product of GOLDWIN INC., in
which cutting design "AERO FORM" is adopted) of Patent Literature 3
is designed considering a static motion (posture retention) such
that almost no unnecessary crease is caused at a posture at which a
wearer rides on a bicycle and that a stiffening feeling and a
twitching feeling of the shirt are prevented. When the arm is
raised or rotated, the sleeve drops, and the garment body
unnecessarily largely moves.
[0029] The cause for this is as follows. As illustrated in FIG. 10
and FIG. 11, the sleeve peak point 16 of the bicycle shirt of
Patent Literature 3 is also located on the outer side of the
trapezius muscle stop point b.sub.1 in an arm lowered state,
similarly to general set-in sleeves. Hence, during a dynamic motion
(a motion of raising or rotating the arm), it is difficult for the
sleeve 14 to follow the motion of the arm, so that even the garment
body that is originally undesired to move moves unfavorably.
[0030] In view of the above, 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.
Solution to Problem
[0031] The present invention provides an upper garment including an
armhole having a sleeve peak point that is located between: a
trapezius muscle stop point on a shoulder ridge line of a wearer in
an arm lowered state; and a trapezius muscle stop point on the
shoulder ridge line of the wearer in an arm raised state.
[0032] As the arm is raised from its lowered state, the position of
the trapezius muscle stop point on the shoulder ridge line moves
toward a neck side point.
[0033] Accordingly, the sleeve peak point of the armhole is located
between: the trapezius muscle stop point on the shoulder ridge line
of the wearer in the arm lowered state; and the trapezius muscle
stop point on the shoulder ridge line of the wearer in the arm
raised state, whereby an arm bending point during arm raising and
the armhole coincide with each other. Hence, when the arm is raised
or rotated, sleeves can be prevented from dropping, and a garment
body can be prevented from unnecessarily largely moving.
[0034] Further, a portion of the armhole on a front garment body
side is designed to pass through a deltopectoral groove between a
deltoid muscle and a pectoralis major muscle of the wearer. With
this design, the armhole is located on a border between the arm
part large in displacement and a body trunk part small in
displacement. Hence, the upward retainability of the sleeves and
the position stability of the garment body become excellent.
[0035] A lower portion of the armhole on the front garment body
side is designed to pass through a front armpit point of the
wearer, a portion of the armhole on a back garment body side is
designed to pass through a scapular spine protruding part of the
wearer, and a lower portion of the armhole on the back garment body
side is designed to pass through a back armpit point of the wearer.
With these designs, the armhole follows the border between the arm
large in displacement and the body trunk part small in
displacement. Hence, the upward retainability of the sleeves and
the position stability of the garment body become more
excellent.
[0036] Moreover, the portion of the armhole on the front garment
body side is concaved so as to follow a concave of the
deltopectoral groove between the deltoid muscle and the pectoralis
major muscle of the wearer, whereby the wear feeling can be further
improved.
Advantageous Effects of Invention
[0037] In an upper garment according to the present invention, an
arm bending point during arm raising and an armhole coincide with
each other. Hence, the upper garment is less likely to lose its
shape and can provide a comfortable wear feeling even during
strenuous exercise such as sports.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
[0049] An upper garment 1 according to the present invention
includes a front garment body 2, a back garment body 3, and sleeves
4. The sleeves 4 and the front garment body 2 are sewn to each
other through armholes 5, and the sleeves 4 and the back garment
body 3 are sewn to each other through the armholes 5.
[0050] A sleeve peak point 6 of each armhole 5 in the upper garment
1 according to the present invention is located between: a
trapezius muscle stop point b.sub.1 on a shoulder ridge line L of a
wearer in an arm A lowered state; and a trapezius muscle stop point
b.sub.3 on the shoulder ridge line L of the wearer in an arm A
raised state (indicated by a broken line in each of FIG. 1 and FIG.
2).
[0051] As the arm A is raised from its lowered state, as
illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the position of the trapezius
muscle stop point b.sub.1 on the shoulder ridge line L moves to
b.sub.2 and then b.sub.3 toward a neck side point N.sub.2.
[0052] In FIG. 2, C denotes a trapezius muscle. Moreover, in FIG.
1, D denotes a pectoralis major muscle, E denotes a deltoid muscle,
and a deltopectoral groove between the deltoid muscle E and the
pectoralis major muscle D is hatched. In FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, S
denotes a shoulder tip point, and N.sub.1 denotes a neck back
center point.
[0053] In the case of an average adult man, the distances from the
neck side point N.sub.2 to the trapezius muscle stop points
b.sub.1, b.sub.2, and b.sub.3 are as follows: the distance to the
trapezius muscle stop point b.sub.1 in the arm lowered state is 75
mm; the distance to the trapezius muscle stop point b.sub.2 in a
state where the arm A is raised at an angle of 90.degree. is 60 mm;
and the distance to the trapezius muscle stop point b.sub.3 in a
state where the arm A is raised at an angle of 150.degree. is 45
mm. As the arm A is raised from its lowered state, the trapezius
muscle stop points b.sub.1, b.sub.2, and b.sub.3 move toward the
neck side point N.sub.2.
[0054] Accordingly, in the case of designing the upper garment 1
worn by the average adult man, an allowance is set such that the
sleeve peak point 6 of the armhole 5 is located within a range of
45 mm to 75 mm from the shoulder tip point S toward the neck side
point N.sub.2.
[0055] In this way, the sleeve peak point 6 of the armhole 5 is
located between: the trapezius muscle stop point b.sub.1 on the
shoulder ridge line L of the wearer in the arm A lowered state; and
the trapezius muscle stop point b.sub.3 on the shoulder ridge line
L of the wearer in the 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, the sleeves 4
can be prevented from dropping, and the front garment body 2 and
the back garment body 3 can be prevented from unnecessarily largely
moving.
[0056] Then, a portion of the armhole 5 on the front garment body 2
side is designed to pass through the deltopectoral groove between
the deltoid muscle E and the pectoralis major muscle D of the
wearer. With this design, the armhole 5 is located on a border
between the arm A large in displacement and a body trunk part B
small in displacement. Hence, the upward stability of the sleeves
and the position stability of the garment body become
excellent.
[0057] A lower portion of the armhole 5 on the front garment body 2
side is designed to pass through a front armpit point F of the
wearer, a portion of the armhole 5 on the back garment body 3 side
is designed to pass through a scapular spine protruding part G of
the wearer, and a lower portion of the armhole 5 on the back
garment body 3 side is designed to pass through a back armpit point
H of the wearer. With these designs, the armhole 5 is located on
the border between the arm A large in displacement and the body
trunk part B small in displacement. Hence, the upward retainability
of the sleeves and the position stability of the garment body
become more excellent.
[0058] Moreover, as indicated by an arrow I in FIG. 3, the portion
of the armhole 5 on the front garment body 2 side is concaved so as
to follow a concave of the deltopectoral groove between the deltoid
muscle E and the pectoralis major muscle D of the wearer, whereby
the wear feeling is further improved.
[0059] In FIG. 2, the position of the trapezius muscle stop point
b.sub.3 on the shoulder ridge line L of the wearer in the arm A
raised state is closer to the neck back center point N.sub.1 by 11%
to 17% of the distance (a half of the shoulder width) between the
neck back center point N.sub.1 and the shoulder tip point S, from
the trapezius muscle stop point b.sub.1 on the shoulder ridge line
L of the wearer in the arm A lowered state.
[0060] Moreover, the position of the trapezius muscle stop point
b.sub.3 on the shoulder ridge line L of the wearer in the arm A
raised state is closer to the shoulder tip point S by 62% to 66% of
the distance (a half of the shoulder width) between the neck back
center point N.sub.1 and the shoulder tip point S, from the neck
back center point N.sub.1.
[0061] Accordingly, the sleeve peak point 6 of the armhole 5 in the
upper garment 1 according to the present invention is located
closer to the neck back center point N.sub.1 by 11% to 17% from the
trapezius muscle stop point b.sub.1 on the shoulder ridge line L of
the wearer in the arm A lowered state.
[0062] Moreover, the position of the trapezius muscle stop point
b.sub.3 on the shoulder ridge line L of the wearer in the arm A
raised state, for positioning the sleeve peak point 6 of the
armhole 5 in the upper garment 1 according to the present
invention, may be determined to be closer to the shoulder tip point
S by 62% to 66% of the distance (a half of the shoulder width)
between the neck back center point N.sub.1 and the shoulder tip
point S, from the neck back center point N.sub.1.
[0063] Next, Table 1 shows results of measurement whose subjects
are ten adult men (average height: 170.6 cm), the measurement
concerning the positions of the trapezius muscle stop points and
the like. Here, the average value and the standard deviation are
calculated for each parameter, and "`average value-standard
deviation` to `average value+standard deviation`" is defined as the
range of each parameter.

[0064] In Table 1, the measurement subjects A to J are ten adult
men, whose average height is 170.6 cm.
[0065] In Table 1, the half of the shoulder width means the
distance between the neck back center point N.sub.1 and the
shoulder tip point S, b.sub.1 means the distance (mm) from the neck
back center point N.sub.1 to the trapezius muscle stop point in the
arm lowered state, b.sub.3 means the distance (mm) from the neck
back center point N.sub.1 to the trapezius muscle stop point in the
state where the arm is raised at the angle of 150.degree., the BP
moving amount means the moving distance (mm) of the trapezius
muscle stop point toward the inner side (toward the neck back
center point N.sub.1) from b.sub.1 in the arm lowered state to
b.sub.3 in the state where the arm is raised at 150.degree., the
b.sub.3 moving ratio means the ratio (%) of the position of b.sub.3
to the half of the shoulder width (=[the position of b.sub.3/the
half of the shoulder width].times.100), and the BP moving ratio
means the ratio (%) of the BP moving amount to the half of the
shoulder width (=[the BP moving amount/the half of shoulder
width].times.100).
[0066] As described above in Table 1, the "BP moving amount" means
the moving distance of the "trapezius muscle stop points b.sub.1,
b.sub.2, and b.sub.3" toward the neck back center point N.sub.1
from the arm lowered state to the state where the arm is raised at
150.degree.. Accordingly, the sleeve peak point 6 is set such that
the trapezius muscle stop point b.sub.3 on the shoulder ridge line
L of the wearer in the arm A raised state is closer to the neck
back center point N.sub.1 by 11% to 17% of the distance between the
neck back center point N.sub.1 and the shoulder tip point S, from
the trapezius muscle stop point b.sub.1 on the shoulder ridge line
L of the wearer in the arm A lowered state. In this way, the arm
bending point during arm raising and the armhole can be made
coincident with each other.
[0067] Moreover, from Table 1, the "b.sub.3 position ratio" (the
ratio of the "position of b.sub.3" to the "half of the shoulder
width") is 62% to 66%. Here, the position of b.sub.3 means the
distance between the "neck back center point N.sub.1" and the
"trapezius muscle stop point" in the state where the arm is raised
at 150.degree.. Accordingly, the sleeve peak point 6 is set such
that the trapezius muscle stop point b.sub.3 on the shoulder ridge
line L of the wearer in the arm A raised state is closer to the
shoulder tip point S by 62% to 66% of the distance between the neck
back center point N.sub.1 and the shoulder tip point S, from the

"b.sub.3 position ratio" even in the case where the measurement
subjects are other than adult men.
