Description
[0001] This application claims the benefit of Taiwan application
Serial No. 103144029, filed Dec. 17, 2014, the disclosure of which
is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The disclosure relates in general to a lifting resilient
garment, and more particularly to a lifting resilient garment and a
method for adjusting the same. The lifting resilient garment is
easy to be put on or taken off, and once the lifting resilient
garment is put on, the lifting resilient garment provides a taping
effect to lift the muscle.
BACKGROUND
[0003] As people nowadays are getting more and more aware of their
health, more and more people are doing exercise to strengthen their
body and energy. The exercisers are more and more aware of the
equipment and auxiliary devices related to the safety of exercises
to maintain or protect their health during exercises.
[0004] During exercises, particularly the time-consuming endurance
exercises, the exercisers need to check muscle stabilization. The
exercisers normally wear tights or pressurized tights to improve
their performance and help with post-sport recovery. The tights or
pressurized tights not only stabilize the muscle but further avoid
thigh friction, promote perspiration and keep the exercisers' body
warm. The currently available tights provide a great tightening
effect, but take more time to put on. Due to the wearing
inconvenience, some users choose to give up.
[0005] Meanwhile, other products, such as kinesio tape, are
provided to benefit the muscle and increase the effect of
exercises. The kinesio tape uses a special adhesive and has a wave
pattern. When the kinesio tape is taped on the skin, the skin will
be pulled and contracted, a taping effect is created to contract
and lift the muscle. In practical use, the kinesio tape must follow
muscle texture so as to fully bring out its effect. The kinesio
tape can only last for 2-3 days. The effect of the tape will be
decreased each time the user sweats after exercises.
SUMMARY
[0006] The disclosure is directed to a lifting resilient garment,
which can be put on or taken off through the design of the
zip-fastening device. After the zip-fastening device is zipped up,
a lifting force is provided for taping the trouser on the muscle
tissue, such that the resilient garment will have tightening,
covering, lifting and stabilizing effect.
[0007] According to one embodiment, a lifting resilient garment is
provided. The lifting resilient garment at least comprises a pair
of trousers and the zip-fastening devices disposed on the trousers.
The lifting resilient garment is formed of at least one elastic
material. When the zip-fastening device is zipped up, the trouser
is tightened and a first cross-sectional area (A1) of the trouser
is created consequently. When the zip-fastening device is zipped
down, a second cross-sectional area (A2) of the trouser is created
consequently. The first cross-sectional area is smaller than the
second cross-sectional area.
[0008] According to another embodiment, a method for adjusting
lifting resilient garment is provided. The lifting resilient
garment at least comprises a pair of trousers and the zip-fastening
devices disposed on the trousers. The method comprises:
[0009] zipping up the zip-fastening device to tighten the trouser
and create a first cross-sectional area (A1) of the trouser,
wherein the tightened trouser applies a lifting force to the muscle
along a vertical direction of the zip-fastening device to help the
muscle contract and accordingly achieves a taping effect;
[0010] zipping down the zip-fastening device to loosen the trouser
and create a second cross-sectional area (A2) of the trouser,
wherein the first cross-sectional area is smaller than the second
cross-sectional area.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0075] A lifting resilient garment disclosed in the embodiments of
the disclosure is described below with reference to accompanying
drawings. Anyone who is skilled in the technology filed of the
disclosure can implement the lifting resilient garment based on the
disclosed descriptions. The inventive concepts of the disclosure
can be implemented in different modes, and are not limited to the
disclosed embodiments. Moreover, to more clearly elaborate the
embodiments of the disclosure, some generally-know descriptions are
omitted in the specification, and common reference numerals are
used throughout the drawings and the detailed description to
indicate the same elements.
[0076] Disclosed in the embodiments of the disclosure is a lifting
resilient garment, which changes the tightening degree of the
trousers when the wearer wants to wear the lifting resilient
garment and restores the tightening effect of the trousers once the
lifting resilient garment is worn on the wearer. The resilient
garment is formed of at least one elastic material. The lifting
resilient garment has zip-fastening devices (such as sewed on the
trousers) disposed on the lifting resilient garment. When the
zip-fastening device disposed on the lifting resilient garment is
zipped up, the overall tightening effect is enhanced, and the cloth
is taped on the muscle tissues of the wearer's skin surface.
Meanwhile, the zip-fastening device disposed on another block
additionally enhances the taping effect, such that the muscle can
be lifted.
[0077] Refer to FIG. 1A-FIG. 1C and FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B. FIG. 1A
illustrates the state of a trouser of a lifting resilient garment
before the zip-fastening device is zipped up according to an
embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 1B illustrates the tightened
state of a trouser of a lifting resilient garment after the
zip-fastening device is zipped up according to an embodiment of the
disclosure. FIG. 1C illustrates how the cross-sectional area of a
trouser of a lifting resilient garment varies with the state of the
zip-fastening device according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
FIG. 2A illustrates the loosened state of the muscles before the
zip-fastening device of the lifting resilient garment is zipped up
according to an embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 2B illustrates
the stable state of the tightened muscle after the zip-fastening
device of the lifting resilient garment is zipped up according to
an embodiment of the disclosure.
[0078] In an embodiment, a lifting resilient garment at least
comprises trousers P and zip-fastening devices 2 disposed on the
trousers P. The resilient garment is formed of at least one elastic
material. When the zip-fastening device 2 is zipped up, each
trouser P is tightened and becomes the trouser state (the trouser
P') as indicated in FIG. 1B, Meanwhile, the wearer's muscle M',
affected by of the tightening effect of the trouser P, contracts
and becomes stabilized. When the zip-fastening device 2 is zipped
down, the trouser P' becomes the trouser state (the trouser P) as
indicated in FIG. 1A. Meanwhile, the wearer's muscle M is loosened.
Refer to FIG. 1C. The cross-sectional area of the trouser varies
with the tightened or loosened state of the zip-fastening device 2.
As indicated in FIG. 1B, when the zip-fastening device 2 is zipped
up, the trouser is tightened and a first cross-sectional area A1 of
the trouser P' is created. As indicated in FIG. 1C, when the
zip-fastening device 2 is zipped down, a second cross-sectional
area A2 of the trouser P is created. The first cross-sectional area
A1 is smaller than the second cross-sectional area A2.
[0079] According to the lifting resilient garment of an embodiment,
when the zip-fastening device 2 is not used, the resilient garment
body can be easily put on and taken off, the muscle is in a
loosened state (as indicated in FIG. 2A), and the trouser P
completely covers the muscle M. After the zip-fastening device 2 is
zipped up and the trouser becomes tightened, the resilient garment
body generates a tightening effect, which makes the cross-sectional
area of the resilient garment body (the diameter of the
cross-sectional area) reduced. As indicated in FIG. 1C, the second
cross-sectional area A2 is reduced to the first cross-sectional
area A1. Under such circumstance, the tightening effect of the
resilient garment is enhanced and the wearer's muscle is stabilized
(as indicated in FIG. 2B).
[0080] According to the lifting resilient garment of an embodiment,
after the user puts on the resilient garment, the zip-fastening
device can be used to increase the tightening degree. After the
zip-fastening device is zipped to a suitable position, the
zip-fastening device will provide a stabilizing force to the
muscle. Under such circumstance, the wearer's skin taped by the
tightened resilient garment will generate a taping effect. When the
wearer wants to take off the resilient garment, the wear can zipper
down the zip-fastening device to release the tightening effect off
the resilient garment body the resilient garment so that the
resilient garment can be easily taken off. Therefore, the lifting
resilient garment with zip-fastening device can resolve the
difficulty in putting on or taking off the tights currently
available in the market. The zip-fastening device can be disposed
on the trouser body or the trouser leg to provide a taping effect
and lift the muscle.
[0081] In an embodiment, the zip-fastening device 2 can be realized
by a zipper sewed on the trouser. When the zipper is in an opened
state, the resilient garment can be easily put on and taken off,
and the trouser P completely covers the muscle. When the zipper is
in a tightened state, the tightening effect of the resilient
garment is enhanced.
[0082] Refer to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B and FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B. In an
embodiment, the zip-fastening device 2 at least comprises a first
chain 21, a second chain 22 and an engaging portion. As known in
the people skilled in the art, an engaging portion comprises a
retaining box 210 at a bottom of the first chain 21, a slider (with
pull-tab) 23 movably attached to the first chain 21, and an insert
pin 220 at a bottom of the second chain 22. The slider 23 is held
to move up or down to join (engage) or separate (disengage) the
teeth of the first chain 21 and the second chain 22. After the
insert pin 220 is inserted into the retaining box 210, the slider
23 is moved up to engage the teeth of the first chain 21 and the
second chain 22, and the zipper is closed (FIG. 2B). When the
slider 23 is moved down to separate the teeth of the first chain 21
and the second chain 22, the zipper is opened. Moreover, the
zip-fastening device 2 may comprise a plurality of chains disposed
at intervals for being selectively engaged with the first chain 21,
such as the second chain 221 with an insert pin 2201 and the third
chain 222 with an insert pin 2202, as shown in FIG. 2A. Noted that
the zip-fastening device 2 may comprise more than two chains for
being selectively engaged with the first chain 21. The first chain
21 can be engaged with or disengaged from one of those chains by
the teeth of the chains. Disposition of a plurality of chains such
as the second chain 221 and the third chain 222 (or more) enables
the trouser P to generate different tightening and deformation
degrees, such that the tightening degree of the resilient garment
of the embodiment can be determined and adjusted to different
stages by the wearer. Also, disposition of the second chain 221 and
the third chain 222 (or more) enables the trouser P to fit a wider
range of body sizes. Accordingly, the design of the trouser P of
the embodiment provides a wider application for being wore by users
in different sizes or the same user in changing appearance (i.e.
loose weight or gain weight).
[0083] Moreover, in an embodiment, when the zip-fastening device 2
is zipped down, the first chain 21 and the second chain 22 disposed
on the trouser P can be completely separated from each other. That
is, the slider 23 of the engaging portion is positioned at the
bottom of the first chain 21 but the first chain 21 is not engaged
with the second chain 22, such that no zip-fastening device 2 is
engaged at the bottom of the trouser.
[0084] In an embodiment, before the first chain 21 and the second
chain 22 disposed on the trouser P are engaged with each other, an
original space between the first chain 21 and the second chain 22
has a width W as indicated in FIG. 1A. After the first chain 21 and
the second chain 22 are engaged with each other, the space between
the first chain 21 and the second chain 22 decreases such as a
width W' as indicated in FIG. 1B. The width W, corresponding to the
unengaged condition of the first chain 21 and the second chain 22,
can be a fixed value or a width variation, which can be adjusted or
modified according to actual needs. In one embodiment with only one
second chain 22, if the original space between the first chain 21
and the second chain 22 (i.e. corresponding to the unengaged
condition) is designed to have a width variation, different
portions of the trouser P would generate different tightening
degrees when the first chain 21 and the second chain 22 are engaged
with each other and become tightened. Take a long-trouser type
lifting resilient garment of an embodiment for example. Each
trouser P comprises a thigh section, a knee section and a calf
section. If the first chain 21 and the second chain 22 disposed on
the trouser have a second width corresponding to the thigh section
and a first width corresponding to the calf section before the
first chain 21 and the second chain 22 are engaged with each other,
then the first width is larger than the second width. That is, the
trouser body corresponding to the calf section can be further
contracted. Moreover, before the first chain 21 and the second
chain 22 are engaged with each other, the width of a particular
portion of the trouser P, such as the thigh section or the calf
section, also varies. For example, the width corresponding to the
calf section shrinks towards the knee section from the bottom of
the calf section.
[0085] The trouser P used in the disclosure can have different
lengths, such as 10 tenths length (i.e. full length), 9 tenths
length, 8 tenths length, 7 tenths length, 6 tenths length, 5 tenths
length, 4 tenths length or other lengths of the sport tights
available in the market, and the disclosure does not have specific
restrictions regarding the length of the trouser.
[0086] A number of embodiments and accompanying drawings are
disclosed below to elaborate the implementation of the
zip-fastening device of the disclosure and the applications of the
zip-fastening device in cooperation with a composite material
cloth. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto. The
disclosure does not illustrate all possible implementations, and
detailed structures of the implementations may have slight
differences, and can be adjusted or modified according to actual
needs provided that the spirit and scope of the disclosure are not
breached. For example, the positions of the zip-fastening device
can be selectively adjusted according to the lengths of the trouser
used in actual applications, and are applicable to other
implementations not disclosed in the disclosure. In addition, the
shapes, sizes and scales of elements are not based on actual
dimensions of the products, and the descriptions of the
specification and drawings are for elaborating the embodiments, not
for limiting the scope of protection of the disclosure.
[0087] <Style I of the Zip-Fastening Device>
[0088] According to style I of the zip-fastening device used in an
embodiment, each trouser of the lifting resilient garment at least
comprises a thigh section, and each zip-fastening device 2 is
disposed along the outer side of the thigh section. Let a
long-trouser type lifting resilient garment (such as a 10 tenths
length trouser) be taken for example. Each trouser P comprises a
thigh section P1, a knee section P2 and a calf section P3. FIG. 3A
and FIG. 3B respectively illustrate a front view and a rear view of
a lifting resilient garment using style I of the zip-fastening
device according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The
zip-fastening device 2 is disposed along the outer sides of the
thigh section P1, the knee section P2 and the calf section P3. The
zip-fastening device 2 is zipped upwards from the bottom of the
trouser (for example, after the first chain 21 and the second chain
22 are engaged with each other through the slider 23 of the
engaging portion, the slider 23 is pulled upwards from the bottom
of the trouser and makes the trouser tightened and deformed). The
thigh section P1, the knee section P2 and the calf section P3 of
the trouser P are tightened by the zip-fastening device 2 and the
trouser is deformed accordingly, such that the surroundings of
wearer's thigh, knee and calf are tightly wrapped and lifted in one
single direction (such as a lifting force along a vertical
direction of the zip-fastening device 2) to help to contract the
muscles and achieve a taping effect. Therefore, when the resilient
garment using style I of the zip-fastening device is in a tightened
state, the slider 23 of the engaging portion is positioned on the
thigh section P1. In another embodiment, the slider 23 of the
engaging portion is pulled downwards from the top of the trouser to
make the trouser tightened and deformed. The disclosure does not
have specific restrictions regarding the pulling direction of the
slider 23.
[0089] FIG. 3C is a side view of a lifting resilient garment using
style I of the zip-fastening device according to an embodiment of
the disclosure. Refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 2A and disclosed
descriptions of relevant elements. According to style I, the
zip-fastening device 2 of the lifting resilient garment may further
have width variation of engagement. As indicated in FIG. 3C, the
long-trouser type trouser P comprises a thigh section P1, a knee
section P2 and a calf section P3. Before the first chain 21 and the
second chain 22 disposed on the trouser are engaged with each
other, the first chain 21 and the second chain 22 have a first
width W1 corresponding to the calf section P3 and a second width W2
corresponding to the thigh section P1. The first width W1 is larger
than the second width W2. That is, That is, the trouser body
corresponding to the calf section has a higher tightening degree.
Also, the first width W1 and the second width W2 can selectively
have width variation.
[0090] It should be noted that the zip-fastening device is not
limited to be disposed on the outer side of the trouser. In many
implementations of the disclosure, the zip-fastening device can be
disposed on the thigh section P1 of the trouser P and at least
passes through the inner side, the front side and the outer side of
the thigh section P1 (the inner side.fwdarw.the front
side.fwdarw.the outer side; or the outer side.fwdarw.the front
side.fwdarw.the inner side), such that the cross-sectional area of
the trouser increases or decreases as the zip-fastening device is
zipped down or zipped up.

direction. Therefore, when the resilient garment is in a tightened
state, the slider of the engaging portion of the zip-fastening
device 2-2 is also positioned on the thigh section P1 (that is, the
outer side P1-o). According to style II, the zip-fastening devices
2-1 and 2-2 generate a tightening effect which makes the
surroundings of wearer's thigh, knee and calf tightly wrapped and
lifted in one single direction (such as a lifting force along a
vertical direction of the zip-fastening devices 2-1 and 2-2) to
help to contract the muscles and achieve a taping effect.
[0094] <Style III of the Zip-Fastening Device>
[0095] FIGS. 5A and 5B respectively illustrate a front view and a
rear view of a lifting resilient garment using style III of the

device 2-3 is also positioned on the thigh section P1 (that is, the
outer side P1-o). According to style III, the zip-fastening device
2-3 generates a tightening effect which makes the surroundings of
wearer's thigh, knee and calf tightly wrapped and lifted in one
single direction (such as a lifting force along a vertical
direction of the zip-fastening device 2-3) to help to contract the
muscles and achieve a taping effect. In another embodiment, the
zip-fastening device 2-3 can also be pulled in an upward direction
for enabling the resilient garment to reach a tightened state. The

device 2-62 is disposed on the thigh section P1 of the trouser P.
In Style VI, the zip-fastening device 2-62 is disposed in a manner
similar to the zip-fastening device 2-52 according to style V. The
zip-fastening device 2-61 and 2-62 are also pulled in an upward
direction. According to style VI, the zip-fastening device 2-61 and
2-62 generate a tightening effect which makes the surroundings of
wearer's thigh, knee and calf tightly wrapped and lifted in one
single direction (such as a lifting force along a vertical
direction of the zip-fastening device 2-61 and 2-62) to help to
contract the muscles and achieve a taping effect. The design of
style VI is also applicable to the long-trouser type lifting
resilient garment (such as 10 tenths length trouser).
[0107] FIGS. 9A and 9B respectively illustrate a front view and a
rear view of a lifting resilient garment using style VII of the
zip-fastening device according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
Style VII is exemplified by a shorts-type lifting resilient

upward direction. According to style VII, the zip-fastening devices
2-71 and 2-72 generate a tightening effect, which makes the
surroundings of wearer's thigh, knee and calf tightly wrapped and
lifted in one single direction (such as a lifting force along a
vertical direction of the zip-fastening devices 2-71 and 2-72) to
help to contract the muscles and achieve a taping effect.
[0108] According to the disclosed embodiments, the lifting
resilient garment is formed of an elastic material cloth. In an

comprising, for example, plastics, which can be realized by one of
polyacetal (POM), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC),
polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polycarbonate (PC).
[0109] According to the disclosed embodiments, the zip-fastening
device is realized by zipper and used for enhancing the lifting
force, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. The disclosure
has special design for the composite material of the lifting
resilient garment. Cloth with stronger lifting force is used in the
parts of the lifting resilient garment where the corresponding
muscles are intensively used when the wear is walking (such as
elastomeric cloth with a larger compressive strength). The
zip-fastening device and further corporates with the selection of
cloth can enhance the tightening effect of the lifting resilient
garment and help to contract the wearer's muscles and achieve a
taping effect.
[0110] According to the design of composite material cloth used in
the disclosure, the lifting resilient garment of the disclosed
embodiments can be formed of at least a first elastic material
Fiber-1 with a first compressive strength and a second elastic
material Fiber-2 with a second compressive strength. The second
compressive strength is larger than the first compressive strength.

represents the distribution area of the second elastic material
Fiber-2 (with a larger compressive strength) and the remaining area
represents the distribution area of the first elastic material
Fiber-1 (with a smaller compressive strength).
[0111] Four styles of the composite material cloth are designed
with respect to four different muscle groups. Anyone who is
ordinarily skilled in the art of the disclosure will understand
that the design of the composite material cloth of the disclosure
is not limited to the four styles disclosed below. Moreover, the
