Sports undergarment including a resilient fabric contributing levels of compression adapted to the muscle tissues

Abstract

Undergarment provided for sports practice, which includes a resilient fabric which is fit on the body while exerting compression in order to limit the oscillations of the muscle tissues during the practice of the sport, characterized in that it has areas ( 102, 104, 106, 112, 114, 116, 132, 134, 142 a, 142 b, 144 ) having different levels of resilience, each of these areas contributing levels of compression adapted to the muscle tissues that they cover, including higher compression when these muscle tissues present greater oscillations from the outset.

         12 . An undergarment configured for sports practice, the undergarment comprising:
 a resilient fabric which is fit on a body of a wearer while exerting compression in order to limit oscillations of muscle tissues of the body of the wearer during the practice of the sport, the resilient fabric comprising areas having different levels of resilience, each of the areas contributing levels of compression adapted to the muscle tissues that they cover, the areas including areas of higher compression at muscle tissues having greater oscillations and areas of lower compression at muscle tissues having lesser oscillations.   
     
     
         13 . The undergarment according to  claim 12 , wherein the areas of higher compression include a deposit of material on the resilient fabric. 
     
     
         14 . The undergarment according to  claim 13 , wherein the deposit of material comprises a deposit of silicone on the areas of higher compression in a mesh pattern. 
     
     
         15 . The undergarment according to  claim 14 , wherein the silicone is deposited according to a pattern produced by a silk screen printing process. 
     
     
         16 . The undergarment according to  claim 12 , wherein the resilient fabric is a jersey stitch knit comprising polyamide and elastane. 
     
     
         17 . The undergarment according to  claim 16 , wherein a weaving width of the resilient fabric is arranged according to the height of the undergarment. 
     
     
         18 . The undergarment according to  claim 12 , wherein at least part of the areas of higher compression have, in the direction of the height of the undergarment, an elongation between 40% and 60% for a load of 15 N, and in the direction of the width, an elongation between 55% and 75% for a load of 15 N. 
     
     
         19 . The undergarment according to  claim 12 , the undergarment being in the form of pants having a lower area of low compression on legs of the wearer, which goes roughly up to the knees of the wearer, and having an upper area of high compression above that going up to a top of the pants. 
     
     
         20 . The undergarment according to  claim 19 , wherein, between the area of low compression and the area of high compression, at the level of the knees, an area of medium compression of the resilient fabric in the form of a band rises towards an inside of the pants between the legs. 
     
     
         21 . The undergarment according to  claim 12 , the undergarment being in the form of a jersey having an upper area of low compression in the upper part going down to a middle of the thorax of the wearer, and on the arms of the wearer, and having one or more lower areas of higher compression below the upper part. 
     
     
         22 . The undergarment according to  claim 21 , wherein a first lower area of the one or more lower areas, in the center of the front and of the back and at the height of the middle of the thorax, has a horizontal band which is completed on each side by a descending part contributing a medium or high level of compression. 
     
     
         23 . The undergarment according to  claim 13 , wherein the resilient fabric is a jersey stitch knit comprising polyamide and elastane. 
     
     
         24 . The undergarment according to  claim 14 , wherein the resilient fabric is a jersey stitch knit comprising polyamide and elastane. 
     
     
         25 . The undergarment according to  claim 12 , wherein the areas of higher compression include a deposit of resin on the resilient fabric. 
     
     
         26 . The undergarment according to  claim 14 , wherein the deposit of resin comprises a pattern forming a mesh. 
     
     
         27 . The undergarment according to  claim 26 , wherein the mesh comprises hexagonal shapes. 
     
     
         28 . The undergarment according to  claim 26 , wherein the deposit of resin comprises silicone.
