Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to long-sleeved shirt cuff buttons with elastic cords that make it easy to roll up the sleeves of a long-sleeved shirt and to put on and take off the shirt. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, to roll up the sleeves of a long-sleeved shirt, a button that was sewn into a buttonhole near the cuff of the shirt was removed from the buttonhole, and then the sleeve was folded over and folded back several times from the inside of the cuff to an appropriate width, with an armband or similar being used to hold the folded part in place. Also, when putting on the shirt, after putting on the long-sleeved shirt, a button sewn near the cuff was inserted into the buttonhole. To take off the shirt, the button that was sewn into the buttonhole was removed. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] To roll up the sleeves of a long-sleeved shirt, as in the past, you would remove the button that was sewn into the buttonhole near the cuff of the long-sleeved shirt from the buttonhole, turn the sleeve up and over several times from near the cuff, and then hold the folded part in place with an armband or the like, but this is time-consuming and difficult to keep the armband or the like nearby. Furthermore, it is time-consuming to insert the button sewn into the buttonhole near the cuff of the long-sleeved shirt when putting it on, and to remove the button from the buttonhole when taking the shirt off. The aim of this invention is to provide a long-sleeved shirt cuff button with elastic strings that allows the sleeves to be easily pulled up using the elasticity of the rubber while the cuff buttons of the long-sleeved shirt with elastic strings are fastened, and the pulled-up sleeves can be held in place due to the stretchiness of the rubber without the need for armbands or the like. When the pulled-up sleeves are pulled down towards the wrist, they return to their original state. When putting on a long-sleeved shirt, the elasticity of the rubber allows the cuffs to expand and then return to their original state while the cuff buttons of the long-sleeved shirt with elastic strings that are hung over the buttonholes are fastened, making it easy to put on and take off the long-sleeved shirt. Similarly, the elasticity of the rubber allows the shirt to be taken off while the cuff buttons of the long-sleeved shirt with elastic strings are fastened, making it easy to put on and take off the long-sleeved shirt. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] To provide a new long-sleeved shirt cuff button with an elastic cord, with the aim of preventing buttons sewn near the cuffs of long-sleeved shirts from being inserted into or removed from buttonholes as in the past. The elasticity of the rubber allows the sleeves to be easily rolled up while the rolled-up state is maintained and they can also be easily returned to their original state, and when putting on or taking off a long-sleeved shirt, the elasticity of the rubber can be utilized while the cuff button with elastic cord of this invention is still attached. The long-sleeve shirt cuff buttons with elastic cords are made by threading an elastic cord through the two holes of a perforated button or through the threading holes at the bottom of a decorative button that has no holes in the button, aligning and bundling both ends of the threaded elastic cord, and passing the ends of the aligned elastic cords through a tube, which allows the tube to slide freely along the elastic cord.This is called an elastic cord bundling tool, and the elastic cord fastener is also made by aligning both ends of the aligned elastic cord, fitting both ends and the parts near the ends of the aligned elastic cord into the tube in addition to the elastic cord bundling tool, and then fixing both ends and the parts near the ends of the elastic cord into the tube with adhesive or the like. When the above-mentioned elastic band gathering tool, elastic band fastener, and elastic band that can slide along the elastic band are passed from top to bottom through the buttonhole, only the button part of the long-sleeved shirt cuff button with elastic band remains at the top of the buttonhole, and the elastic band gathering tool, elastic band fastener, and elastic band that have passed through the buttonhole are used to fasten to the button sewn near the cuff. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] The buttons sewn onto long-sleeved shirts near the cuffs are not inserted into buttonholes as in conventional shirts. This eliminates the need to remove the inserted buttons from the buttonholes and then roll up the sleeves. Instead, with the cuff buttons of this invention still fastened, the elasticity of the elastic allows the cuffs to expand to an appropriate width. By pinching the fabric near the cuffs with your fingers and pulling it towards the top of your arm, the sleeves can be pulled up to any position on your arm, and the elasticity of the rubber will keep them in that position. To return the sleeves to their original position, simply pinch the sleeves with your fingers and pull them towards your wrist, and they will return to their original position. This makes it easy to roll up the sleeves of a long-sleeved shirt, eliminating the need for armbands or the like. Furthermore, when putting on or taking off a long-sleeved shirt, instead of having to insert or remove the sewn-on buttons near the cuffs from the buttonholes as in the past, the elasticity of the rubber in the long-sleeved shirt cuff buttons with elastic strings allows the cuffs to expand to any width and then return to their original shape, so the long-sleeved shirt can be put on or taken off while the long-sleeved shirt cuff buttons with elastic strings are fastened, making it easy and smooth to put on or take off the long-sleeved shirt.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] The following describes embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are merely examples for explaining the present invention. The present invention is not intended to be limited to these embodiments. Furthermore, the present invention can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. [Example]

[0008] One embodiment will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. A perforated button 2 (having two or four holes) has two diagonally opposite holes 3a, 3b. One end of an elastic cord 4 is threaded from the bottom of hole 3a onto the button 2, and then threaded from the top to the bottom of hole 3b. Next, both ends of the elastic cord 4 are aligned, and the aligned ends are passed through a tube made of an appropriate material. This tube slides freely along the elastic cord 4, forming elastic cord bundler 5. Next, both ends of the elastic cord 4 are aligned again, and the ends near the aligned ends are inserted into another tube and secured to the tube with adhesive or the like, forming elastic cord fastener 6. The result of the above procedure is a long-sleeved shirt cuff button 1 with elastic cord. Next, we will explain how to fasten the long-sleeved shirt cuff button 1 with elastic cord made by the above-mentioned means to the button 9 sewn near the cuff 8 of the long-sleeved shirt. When the elastic cord gathering tool 5, elastic cord fastener 6, and elastic cord 4 are passed from top to bottom through the buttonhole 7 provided near the cuff of the long-sleeved shirt, the button part of the long-sleeved shirt cuff button 1 with elastic cord remains above the buttonhole 7. Next, the slidable elastic band holder 5 is slid toward the buttonhole 7, exposing the elastic band 4 between the elastic band holder 5 and the elastic band fastener 6, and then the elastic band fastener 6 is held with the fingers and pulled, stretching the elastic band 4 to the desired length and wrapping it around the sewing thread below the sewn-on button 9 two or more times. Then, the two elastic bands 4 connected to the elastic band fastener 6 are pulled and expanded to form loops, and the sewn-on button 9 is passed through the loops, whereby the elastic band 4 is securely fastened to the button 9. By the above-mentioned means, the cuff button 1 with elastic band is stretchably fastened to the sewn-on button 9 via the elastic band 4. [Industrial Applicability]

[0009] In this device, instead of the conventional buttons near the cuffs, long-sleeved shirts have elastic cuff buttons that are fastened above the buttonholes, and when rolling up the sleeves of a long-sleeved shirt, there is no need to remove the buttons from the buttonholes and then roll up the sleeves, or use an armband, etc. Instead, just pull the sleeves up while keeping the cuff buttons fastened. The elasticity of the rubber allows the cuffs to expand according to the thickness of the arm, so the sleeves are rolled up, and the elasticity of the rubber keeps them in the rolled-up position. To return the sleeves to their original position, simply pull the sleeves down toward the wrist, making this a potentially very useful item not only for everyday use in the workplace, but also for school use, where students need to roll up their sleeves during cleaning time, etc. Also, in the summer, when long sleeves are suitable indoors with air conditioning, but short sleeves are more suitable outdoors in the heat, if you wear a long-sleeved shirt with elastic cuff buttons attached to this device and go outside and pull up your sleeves, the long sleeves will immediately become short sleeves. Furthermore, when putting on or taking off a shirt, the long-sleeved shirt cuff buttons with elastic cords of this invention are fastened over the buttonholes, so instead of having to insert or remove buttons sewn near the cuffs from the buttonholes as in the past, the long-sleeved shirt cuff buttons with elastic cords of this invention can be left in place and put on or taken off thanks to the elasticity of the rubber, making it easier to put on and take off long-sleeved shirts than before, and it is likely to be very useful and widely used.
