[0009] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the following aspects.
[0010] [Aspect 1] A tab former provided on a garment, the tab comprising: A first base and a first tab forming portion provided on the first base, and a second base and a second tab forming portion provided on the second base, A base end of the first tab forming portion is connected to one side of the first base portion, a base end of the second tab forming portion is connected to one side of the second base portion opposite to one side of the first base portion; The tab is joined to the first tab forming portion and the second tab forming portion in a state where the first tab forming portion and the second tab forming portion are overlapped in a thickness direction, A boundary between the second base portion and the second tab forming portion is folded in a valley, A tab forming body in which the end portion on the one side of the first base portion and the end portion on the one side of the second base portion are overlapped and joined in a thickness direction.
[0011] The first and second bases of the tab former overlap and are joined to each other only at the ends on one side that face each other. In other words, the overlapping range of the first and second bases is limited to the end on one side, and the other ends of the first and second bases can be attached to the garment without overlapping each other, so the tab former can form the tab on the garment body while suppressing an increase in thickness at the joint with the garment. Therefore, when the tab former is attached to the garment, the tab can be provided while suppressing an increase in the thickness of the garment body, thereby suppressing a decrease in the wearing comfort.
[0012] [Aspect 2] The tab forming body according to aspect 1, wherein the first tab forming portion and the second tab forming portion have tips integrally formed with each other. Since the first base portion and the second base portion have an integral tip of the first tab forming portion and a tip of the second tab forming portion, the number of parts can be reduced, and the number of manufacturing steps can also be reduced.
[0013] [Aspect 3] A garment comprising the tab former according to aspect 1 or 2, and a garment body provided with the tab former. By joining the first base and the second base of the tab forming body to the transition portion of the garment body, the tab can be provided on the garment body while suppressing an increase in thickness at the joining portion with the garment body. Therefore, the garment can have the tab provided on the garment body while suppressing a decrease in wearing comfort.
[0014] [Aspect 4] The garment of claim 3, wherein the tab and the garment body each have a fastening portion that can be fastened to each other. By fixing the tab to the garment body, for example, a strap passed through the tab can be prevented from falling off the tab.
[0015] [Aspect 5] The garment body has a back portion and a collar provided at a neckline of the back portion, The collar has an outer fabric and a lining fabric, The garment of claim 3, wherein at least a portion of the outer fabric is formed from the first base and the second base. By forming at least a portion of the outer fabric of the collar with the first base and the second base, joining the other end of the first base to the upper end of the lining of the collar, and joining the other end of the second base to the neckline of the back part, it is possible to provide a tab on the collar without changing the thickness of the neckline. Therefore, the neckline of the garment is less likely to become stiff, and deterioration in wearing comfort can be suppressed.
[0016] [Aspect 6] The garment of aspect 5, wherein the other end of the second base is joined to the neckline of the back portion, and the end of one side of the first base and the end of one side of the second base joined to each other are positioned above the neckline. One end of the first base and one end of the second base joined to each other are disposed above the neckline, so that the tab is fixed above the neckline. Since the tab is fixed above the neckline, when the strap is hung around the neck, the strap tends to naturally hang on the tab by the action of hanging the strap around the neckline. Therefore, the garment makes it easy for a wearer to hang the strap on the tab when wearing the garment.
[0017] [Aspect 7] The garment of claim 3, wherein the tab has a length in the length direction of the garment that is longer than the length in the left-right direction of the garment. The tab is less likely to deform in a rolling-up direction because the length of the tab in the length direction of the garment is longer than the length of the garment in the left-right direction, and therefore, when the strap is hung between the tab and the garment body, the strap can be prevented from going beyond the tab and touching the wearer's neck.
[0018] The garment according to this embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. Each drawing shows the garment and each component diagrammatically, and the dimensions and scale are not limited to those shown in each drawing. The garment according to this embodiment is applicable mainly to medical work clothes, and can be applied to garments used in various jobs (e.g., medical, nursing, care, and service industries) without departing from the scope of the subject matter of this invention.
[0019] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The garment 10 shown in FIG. 1 has a length direction L, a left-right direction H, and a front-rear direction that are perpendicular to each other. The length direction L means the length direction of the wearer when the garment 10 is worn by the wearer, and is synonymous with the vertical direction. The left-right direction H and the front-rear direction are directions perpendicular to the length direction L and are synonymous with the horizontal direction. In the garment 10, the direction and side toward the wearer's head are respectively the upward and upper sides of the length direction L, and the direction and side toward the wearer's legs are respectively the downward and lower sides of the length direction L.

[0024] The front body 22 covers the abdomen side of the wearer. The front body 22 includes a right half 34, a left half 36, and a connecting part 38. That is, the right half 34 extends from the right armpit to approximately the center in the left-right direction H. The left half 36 is detachably fastened to the outer surface of the right half 34 by the connecting part 38 in the region between the center in the left-right direction H of the garment body 12 and the right armpit. The left half 36 shown in FIG. 1 extends from the left armpit to approximately the center in the left-right direction of the right half 34.
[0025] The connecting portion 38 connects the right half portion 34 and the left half portion 36 in a detachable manner. A snap button can be applied to the connecting portion 38. The connecting portion 38 is not limited to a snap button, and a slide fastener may be applied. The connecting portion 38 may use both a snap button and a slide fastener. The front body 22 has a chest pocket 40 and a waist pocket 42. The chest pocket 40 and the waist pocket 42 each have an upper opening 44 and an edge 46 along the upper opening 44.
[0026] As shown in Fig. 2, the back body 24 covers the back side of the wearer. The back body 24 is joined to the front body 22 at a shoulder seam 20. The shoulder seam 20 may be formed by overlapping and joining the seam allowance at the upper end of the back body 24 and the seam allowance at the upper end of the front body 22.
[0027] The back body 24 is joined to the left half portion 36 at a left armpit portion 48 located at the left end in the left-right direction H, and is joined to the right half portion 34 at a right armpit portion 50 located at the right end in the left-right direction H. The left armpit portion 48 and the right armpit portion 50 may be formed by overlapping and joining the seam allowance of the left end portion of the left half portion 36 and the seam allowance of the left end portion of the back body 24, and the seam allowance of the right end portion of the right half portion 34 and the seam allowance of the right end portion of the back body 24, respectively.
[0028] The right sleeve portion 26 and the left sleeve portion 28 are each tubular, with a cuff 16 at the tip. The right sleeve portion 26 and the left sleeve portion 28 are joined to the front body portion 22 and the back body portion 24 at their base ends opposite the tips. The right sleeve portion 26 and the left sleeve portion 28 shown in Figures 1 and 2 are short sleeves.
[0029] The neckline 14 is located at the upper part of the garment body 12, in the center in the left-right direction. The garment body 12 has a collar 32 at the neckline 14. The collar 32 is joined along the neckline 14. The collar 32 is made of a strip of fabric, and is a stand-up collar joined at its lower end to the front body 22 and the back body 24.
[0030] The collar 32 has a front cloth 52 (FIG. 1) arranged on the outside of the garment body 12 and a back cloth 54 arranged on the inside. The front cloth 52 has a left collar portion 56 (FIG. 2), a right collar portion 58, and a tab forming body 60 arranged between the left collar portion 56 and the right collar portion 58. The left collar portion 56 and the right collar portion 58 are each a strip-shaped fabric. The back cloth 54 has a strip-shaped shape integrally having portions corresponding to the left collar portion 56, the tab forming body 60, and the right collar portion 58. The upper end edges 62 (FIG. 1) of the left collar portion 56 and the right collar portion 58 are joined to the upper end edge 64 of the back cloth 54. The lower end edges 66 of the left collar portion 56 and the right collar portion 58 are joined to the back cloth 54, the front body portion 22, and the back body portion 24, with the front body portion 22 and the back body portion 24 sandwiched between the lower end edge 68 of the back cloth 54 and the front body portion 22.
[0031] As shown in FIG. 3, the tab forming body 60 is integrated with the collar 32 on the rear body 24 side. The tab forming body 60 has a tab 70. The tab 70 is disposed at the center of the garment body 12 in the left-right direction H. The tab 70 protrudes downward from the center of the collar 32 in the length direction L, and extends below the neckline 14 of the rear body 24. The length of the tab 70 in the length direction L is longer than the length in the left-right direction H. The tab 70 is substantially trapezoidal in shape, the length of which in the left-right direction H gradually narrows as it extends downward. The tab 70 can be used to hold a strap for attaching, for example, a mobile phone between the tab 70 and the collar 32 and the outer surface of the rear body 24. The tab 70 and the rear body 24 have a fastening portion 72 for fastening the tab 70 to the rear body 24 in a detachable manner. The fastening portion 72 can be, for example, a snap button.
[0032] FIG. 4 is a development view of the tab forming body 60. The tab forming body 60 has a first base 74, a first tab forming portion 76, a second base 78, and a second tab forming portion 80. The tab forming body 60 is formed of a substantially I-shaped fabric. The first base 74 is substantially rectangular. The first tab forming portion 76 is provided at one end 73, which is one side of a pair of long sides of the first base 74. The first tab forming portion 76 is substantially trapezoidal in shape, the length of which in the left-right direction H gradually narrows as it extends downward. The first tab forming portion 76 has a base end 77 integrally formed with the one end 73 of the first base 74.
[0033] The second base portion 78 is substantially rectangular in shape. The length of the second base portion 78 in the short side direction may be shorter than the length of the first base portion 74 in the short side direction. A second tab forming portion 80 is provided at one end 83, which is one side of a pair of long sides of the second base portion 78 facing one end 73 of the first base portion 74. The second tab forming portion 80 is substantially trapezoidal in shape, the length of which in the left-right direction H gradually increases toward the top. The second tab forming portion 80 is the same size as the first tab forming portion 76. The second tab forming portion 80 has a base end 81 integrally formed with one end 83 of the second base portion 78.
[0034] In the tab forming body 60, the tip 75 of the first tab forming portion 76 and the tip 79 of the second tab forming portion 80 are integrally formed. That is, the tab forming body 60 is formed from a single piece of fabric, and the first tab forming portion 76 and the second tab forming portion 80 are continuous through the tips 75, 79. The tab forming body 60 is mountain-folded at the tips 75, 79 of the first tab forming portion 76 and the second tab forming portion 80, respectively, so that the first tab forming portion 76 and the second tab forming portion 80 overlap. Furthermore, the tab forming body 60 is valley-folded at the boundary 86 between the base end 81 of the second tab forming portion 80 and the second base portion 78. The first base portion 74 and the second base portion 78 do not overlap in the thickness direction.
[0035] The tab forming body 60 has folded portions around the first base portion 74, the first tab forming portion 76, the second base portion 78, and the second tab forming portion 80, respectively, via folding lines FL. The folded portions are joint allowances when joining, and seam allowances when joining by sewing. Each folded portion has a cut in an appropriate position, and is folded back by mountain folding at the folding lines FL with respect to the paper surface of FIG. 3. The first base portion 74 and the second base portion 78 each have one side end portions 82, 84, the other side end portions 90, 91, left side end portions 92, 93, and right side end portions 94, 95 as the folded portions.
[0036] The first base portion 74 has one side end 82 with a fold line FL extending along one end 73. The first base portion 74 has another side end 90 with a fold line FL extending along the other end opposite the one end 73. The first base portion 74 has a left side end 92 with a fold line FL extending along the left end in the left-right direction H. The first base portion 74 has a right side end 94 with a fold line FL extending along the right end in the left-right direction H.
[0037] The second base portion 78 has one side end 84 with a fold line FL extending along one end 83. The second base portion 78 has another side end 91 with a fold line FL extending along the other end opposite the one end 83. The second base portion 78 has a left side end 93 with a fold line FL extending along the left end in the left-right direction H. The second base portion 78 has a right side end 95 with a fold line FL extending along the right end in the left-right direction H.
[0038] The first tab forming portion 76 and the second tab forming portion 80 each have a left end 96, 97 and a right end 98, 99 as a folded portion. The first tab forming portion 76 has a left end 96 via a fold line FL extending along the left edge in the left-right direction H. The first tab forming portion 76 has a right end 98 via a fold line FL extending along the right edge in the left-right direction H. The second tab forming portion 80 has a left end 97 via a fold line FL extending along the left edge in the left-right direction H. The second tab forming portion 80 has a right end 99 via a fold line FL extending along the right edge in the left-right direction H.
[0039] 5, one side end 82 of the first base portion 74 and one side end 84 of the second base portion 78, which face each other, are joined in a state of being overlapped in the thickness direction. The other side end 90 of the first base portion 74 is joined to the upper edge 64 of the lining cloth 54. The other side end 91 of the second base portion 78 is joined to the lining cloth 54 and the rear body 24, with the back body 24 sandwiched between the other side end 91 and the lower edge 68 of the lining cloth 54.
[0040] 6, first tab forming portion 76 and second tab forming portion 80 are joined by mountain folding tip portions 75, 79 to form tab 70. In the present embodiment, first tab forming portion 76 and second tab forming portion 80 are joined with left end portions 96, 97 and right end portions 98, 99 overlapping each other in the thickness direction.
[0041] Left end portions 92, 93 of the first base portion 74 and the second base portion 78 in the left-right direction H are joined to the left collar portion 56 (FIG. 3). Right end portions 94, 95 of the first base portion 74 and the second base portion 78 in the left-right direction H are joined to the right collar portion 58.
[0042] As described above, the tab forming body 60 is joined to the garment body 12 at the left end 92, 93, the right end 94, 95, the other end 90 of the first base 74, and the other end 91 of the second base 78. The tab forming body 60 is not joined to the garment body 12 in the range from the one side end 82, 84 of the first base 74 and the second base 78 to the tip 75, 79. The one side end 82, 84 of the first base 74 and the second base 78 is located above the neckline 14 in the length direction L. The length NL between the one side end 82, 84 of the first base 74 and the second base 78 and the neckline 14 corresponds to the short-side length SL of the second base 78 (FIG. 4). The tab 70 extends from above the neckline 14 in the length direction L downward across the neckline 14 to the back body 24. The length NL may be 10% or more, 20% or more, 30% or more, 40% or more, 50% or more, or 90% or less, 80% or less, 70% or less of the length in the length direction L of the collar 32. Having the length NL within the above range makes it easy to put a strap, which will be described later, around the neck and prevents the strap from going beyond the collar 32 and touching the wearer's neck.
[0043] As shown in Fig. 7, the tab 70 can be separated from the garment body 12 in the range from the tips 75, 79 to the one side ends 82, 84 of the first base 74 and the second base 78 by releasing the fastening portion 72. In this state, the strap 100 can be sandwiched between the tab 70 and the back body 24 (Fig. 8). Therefore, even if the strap 100 moves with respect to a wearer wearing the garment 10, the strap 100 is hooked onto the tab 70 and the garment body 12, so that the strap 100 can be prevented from going beyond the collar 32 and touching the wearer's skin.
[0044] Because one side end portions 82, 84 of the first base portion 74 and the second base portion 78 are located above the neckline 14 in the length direction L, when the strap 100 is hung around the neck, the strap 100 can be easily hung on the tab 70 by the action of the wearer hanging the strap 100 on the neckline 14, without having to lift the tab 70 after the fastening portion 72 has been released. Therefore, the garment 10 makes it easy for a wearer wearing the garment 10 to hang the strap 100 on the tab 70 easily.
[0045] Furthermore, the strap 100 is usually stably positioned around the neckline 14, and even if a force acts on the strap 100 in the upward direction in the length direction L, such as when the mobile phone is pulled downward, the strap 100 can move between the neckline 14 and the side ends 82, 84 of the first base portion 74 and the second base portion 78, and therefore the strap 100 is unlikely to deform the tab 70. Therefore, the tab forming body 60 can prevent the strap 100 from going beyond the collar 32 and touching the wearer's skin.
[0046] The tab forming body 60 is disposed between the left collar portion 56 and the right collar portion 58 which are the outer cloth 52 of the collar 32. That is, the tab forming body 60 is also the outer cloth 52 of the collar 32, and is joined to the lining cloth 54 at the upper end in the length direction L, and joined to the lining cloth 54 and the back body 24 at the lower end in the length direction L. In this way, the tab forming body 60 does not increase the overlap of the fabric at the lower end of the collar 32, compared to the conventional case in which the overlap of the fabric at the lower end of the collar 32 is increased by the amount of the tab. That is, the garment 10 can be provided with the tab forming body 60 without increasing the overlap of the fabric between the collar 32 and the back body 24. Therefore, since the tab forming body 60 does not increase the overlap of the fabric between the collar 32 and the back body 24, it is possible to suppress the neckline 14 from becoming stiff and to suppress a decrease in the wearing comfort.
[0047] In the tab forming body 60, the first tab forming portion 76 and the second tab forming portion 80 are integrally formed, so that the number of parts can be reduced, parts management is easy, and the number of manufacturing steps can be reduced.
[0048] The tab forming body 60 can more reliably hold the strap 100 in a state where it is hooked on the tab 70 by fixing the tab 70 to the back body 24 at the fastening portion 72.
[0049] Since the length of the tab 70 in the length direction L is longer than the length in the left-right direction H, the tab 70 is less likely to deform in a rolling-up direction. Therefore, when the strap 100 is hung between the tab 70 and the garment body 12, the strap 100 can be prevented from passing over the tab 70 and touching the neck of the wearer. Moreover, the distance from the neckline 14 to the tip of the tab 70 is shorter by the amount that the one side ends 82, 84 of the first base portion 74 and the second base portion 78 are disposed above the neckline 14 in the length direction L. Therefore, when the wearer hangs the strap 100 around the neckline 14, the strap 100 can be easily and naturally hung on the tab 70.
[0050] (Modification) The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the right half portion 34 extends from the right armpit to approximately the center in the left-right direction H, and the left half portion 36 extends from the left armpit to approximately the center in the left-right direction H of the right half portion 34, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the right half portion 34 may extend from the right armpit to approximately the center in the left-right direction H of the left half portion 36, and the left half portion 36 may extend from the left armpit to approximately the center in the left-right direction H. In addition, the right half portion 34 and the left half portion 36 may be formed so as to be connected to each other at the center in the left-right direction H.
