Abstract

This study aims to develop a new clothing pressure measuring device for elastic socks and pantyhose, which uses a leg mannequin with sixteen built-in type compression sensors. The design concept is intended to be easy to use in factories, not to take much time to measure, and not to require special skills to operate. The leg mannequin has the standard leg size of women in their twenties in Japan. The device can measure the pressure P_BB caused by the force of the cylinder sensor's protrusion from the inside of the leg. The sensor-stroke is 2mm, and the sensor-head has a curvature radius of 11mm. Many clothing pressure values P_W on human legs were measured by using many subjects to analyze the relationship between P_BB and P_W. The results showed that P_W can be predicted from the square root of P_BB with a high degree of accuracy. When the obtained prediction equations are imported into a computer connected to the device, P_W can be predicted by the computer as it measures P_BB. Moreover, the problem about the size of socks and pantyhose with regard to body size was discussed.
