| Application Filed: | December 21, 2005 |
| مستخلص: | According to the present girdle 1, when a wearer walks and a leg is moved backward, a forward load is applied to gluteus maximus muscle by a first tightening portion. Then, a reflective action of a muscle (muscle stimulation) to resist this load acts on the gluteus maximus muscle, and then the leg is moved further backward, resulting in a wearer's waist being twisted backward greatly. Further, a forward load is applied to elevated gluteus medius muscle by this backward waist twisting by a second tightening portion, resulting in the waist being twisted forward this time. Then, such a waist twisting motion is enhanced, which necessarily trains the wearer's groups of abdominal muscles, and a shape-up effect of the periphery of abdominal region may be obtained without the wearer performing intentional exercises. |

| Claim: | 1. A bottom garment comprising: a main body portion having stretching properties; and strip-shaped first, second, third and fourth tightening portions having stronger tightening force than the tightening force of the main body portion; wherein, in a rear view of a wearer's body in which the wearer is properly wearing the bottom garment, the first and fourth tightening portions are located on the left-hand side of the main body portion and the second and third tightening portions are located on the right-hand side of the main body portion; wherein the first tightening portion runs from the wearer's crotch along the wearer's left sulcus gluteus, past a corresponding position just above the wearer's left great trochanter, and extends obliquely upward to a proximity of the wearer's umbilicus; wherein the second tightening portion runs from the wearer's crotch along the wearer's right sulcus gluteus, past a corresponding position just above the wearer's right great trochanter, and extends obliquely upward to a proximity of the wearer's umbilicus; wherein the third tightening portion runs obliquely downward from a proximity of the wearer's lumbar vertebrae along an upper part of the wearer's right gluteus maximus muscle to connect to the second tightening portion at a corresponding position just above the right great trochanter; and wherein the fourth tightening portion runs obliquely downward from a proximity of the wearer's lumbar vertebrae along an upper part of the wearer's left gluteus maximus muscle to connect to the first tightening portion at a corresponding position just above the left great trochanter. |
| Claim: | 2. The bottom garment according to claim 1 , wherein the first, second third and fourth tightening portions all have 2 to 7 cm width. |
| Claim: | 3. The bottom garment according to claim 1 , wherein at the corresponding position just above the wearer's left great trochanter, an angle formed by the connection between the first and fourth tightening portions is 80 to 100 degrees and wherein at the corresponding position just above the wearer's right great trochanter, an angle formed by the connection between the second and third tightening portions is 80 to 100 degrees. |
| Claim: | 4. The bottom garment according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second tightening portions are connected to each other at the wearer's crotch and the third and fourth tightening portions are connected to each other at a position corresponding to the wearer's fourth lumbar vertebra. |
| Claim: | 5. The bottom garment according to claim 1 , wherein the tightening forces of the first, second, third and fourth tightening portions are 1.2 to 1.8 times as high as the tightening force of the main body portion. |
| Claim: | 6. The bottom garment according to claim 1 , wherein: the tightening forces of the first and fourth tightening portions at the corresponding position just above the left great trochanter are larger than the tightening forces of the first and fourth tightening portions at other positions; and the tightening forces of the second and third tightening portions at the corresponding position just above the right great trochanter are larger than the tightening forces of the second and third tightening portions at other positions. |
