PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a supporter capable of reducing its cost by facilitating manufacture, capable of setting a wearing pressure and a wearing pressure direction with ease and in a wide range, and capable of enhancing a wearability by eliminating an unnecessary tightening feeling.SOLUTION: In a supporter 1 (1c or 1t) having an elastically stretchable cylindrical cover 2 covering a part Hp of a human body H, a wearing-pressure patterned part 4 is formed by coating a surface of the cylindrical cover 2 with an elastic adhesive material 3 obtained from a rubber material or an elastic resin material, in which a predetermined distribution pattern associated with the sizes of wearing pressures Fm... applied to the regions of the human body H corresponding to the coating areas Xa, Xb, Xbp, Xbq... is set by varying a coating density R of the elastic adhesive material 3 stepwise or continuously in accordance with the various coating areas Xa, Xb, Xbp, Xbq... set for the overall area to be coated with the elastic adhesive material 3.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2019,JPO&INPIT【課題】 製造を容易にしてコストダウンに寄与する。着圧力や着圧方向を容易かつより広い範囲で設定可能にするとともに、無用な締め付け感を排除して装着性を高める。【解決手段】 人体Ｈの一部Ｈｐを覆う弾性伸縮する筒状覆部２を少なくとも一部に有するサポータ１（１ｃ，１ｔ）を構成するに際して、筒状覆部２の表面に、ゴム素材又は弾性樹脂素材を用いた弾性付着材３の塗布により形成するとともに、当該弾性付着材３を塗布する全領域に対して設定した異なる塗布エリアＸａ，Ｘｂ，Ｘｂｐ，Ｘｂｑ…に対応して、当該弾性付着材３の塗布密度Ｒを段階的又は連続的に異ならせることにより、塗布エリアＸａ，Ｘｂ，Ｘｂｐ，Ｘｂｑ…に対応する人体Ｈの部位に対して付与する着圧力Ｆｍ…の大きさに係わる所定の分布パターンを設定した着圧パターン部４を形成する。【選択図】 図１
