<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly reliable cylindrical supporter, which is easy to attach to the body by forming a nonelastic part expanding and contracting nearly uniformly in the diameter direction thereof, and controlling, compressing and keeping the movement of a joint and muscle in a vertical direction. <P>SOLUTION: This cylindrical supporter 1 includes such a knitting structure having elastic parts 5, 7, and 9 in which a size of a stitch made of a nonelastic knitting yarn in the peripheral direction of a cylindrical form is small and fixed, and an elastic knitting yarn is interknitted in a straight form and which are easy to expand and contract in the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical form, and a nonelastic part 4 in which the size of the nonelastic stitch in the peripheral direction of the cylindrical form is large and small, the elastic knitting yarn is interknitted in a zigzag form, and the thickness of a fabric by the knitting yarns becomes larger than the elastic part, and an elastic degree in the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical form is controlled. The movement of the joint and the muscle is controlled, compressed and kept by the nonelastic part 4. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
