Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, when the bag portion is arranged on the inner surface of the front part as in Patent Document 1, due to the structure in which the front part is divided into left and right, there is a limit to the storage capacity. Therefore, it is not practical to store clothes made of relatively thick fabrics or relatively large clothes such as coats and jackets in the bag portion. Also, the designability of the clothes cannot be maintained before and after storage.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a garment with sufficient storage capacity to store clothes made of relatively thick fabrics or relatively large clothes without impairing the designability.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] To solve the above-described problems, the present invention a front body, a back body connected to the front body, and a substantially bag-shaped storage portion provided on the inner surface of the back body and having an opening. The storage part can store the front body and the back body by being turned inside out from the opening side. Provided is a piece of clothing characterized by the above.

[0007] In the clothing of the present invention, it is preferable to further include shoulder straps that are accommodated in the storage part and are exposed to the outside when the storage part is turned inside out.

[0008] Also, in the clothing of the present invention, it is preferable that the storage part is provided over the parts corresponding to both sides and the neck of the wearer and has a substantially triangular shape.

[0009] Also, in the clothing of the present invention, it is preferable that the opening opens upward.

[0010] Also, in the clothing of the present invention, it is preferable to further include a cover that covers the opening.

Advantages of the Invention

[0011] According to the present invention, it is possible to endow the clothing with a storage capacity sufficient to store clothing made of relatively thick fabric or relatively large clothing without impairing the design.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0013] Hereinafter, representative embodiments of the garment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that since the drawings are for conceptually explaining the present invention, for ease of understanding, dimensions, ratios, or numbers may be exaggerated or simplified as necessary, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0014] In this embodiment, an upper garment is assumed as the garment 1. Examples of the upper garment include, but are not limited to, a coat, a blouson, a jumper, and a jacket.

[0015] As shown in FIGS. 1(A) and 1(B), the garment 1 includes a front body portion 2, a back body portion 3, and a storage section 7. The garment 1 may have sleeve portions 4, 5 and a hood 6. The garment 1 is preferably made of a lightweight and wrinkle-resistant material such as polyester, but may also be made of a natural material.

[0016] The front body portion 2 covers the front of the wearer's torso. In this embodiment, the front body portion 2 is divided into a left front body portion and a right front body portion, and is detachably connected via a fastener such as a button or a zipper. However, the front body portion 2 may not be divided into left and right front body portions.

[0017] The back body portion 3 is a portion that covers the back of the wearer's torso, and is connected to the front body portion 2 at the shoulders and both left and right sides. As shown in FIG. 2, a flat and substantially bag-shaped storage section 7 is provided on the inner surface of the back body portion 3.

[0018] The storage part 7 is arranged at a position corresponding to the wearer's back. Specifically, the storage part 7 is provided across the parts corresponding to both sides and the neck of the wearer, forming a substantially triangular shape. In other words, the storage part 7 is formed by fixing a substantially triangular fabric 71 to the back body 3 by means such as sewing. By making the fabric 71 into a double structure, when the storage part 7 is turned inside out to form a bag, objects can be stored between the fabrics 71. That is, the fabric 71 can constitute a pocket.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 3, the top part of the fabric 71 of the storage part 7 on the neck side is not fixed to the back body 3. Therefore, the storage part 7 has an opening 73 that opens upward. Therefore, the storage part 7 can store the front body 2 and the back body 3 by being turned inside out from the opening 73 side.

[0020] The top part of the fabric 71 of the storage part 7 on the neck side that is not fixed to the back body 3 functions as a cover 72 that covers the opening 73. The cover 72 is attached to the back body 3 or the hood 6 by a fastener 74 such as a button. Therefore, the opening 73 is opened and closed by the cover 72. Note that there may or may not be a so-called hem at the part (lower end and / or both ends) of the fabric 1 of the storage part 7 that is fixed to the back body 3.

[0021] Returning to FIG. 2, the clothing 1 may further include shoulder straps 8. The shoulder straps 8 are accommodated in the storage part 7 and are exposed to the outside when the storage part 7 is turned inside out (see FIG. 8D).

[0022] In this embodiment, there are two shoulder straps 8, which are arranged to connect the parts corresponding to both sides and the neck of the wearer. Such a configuration is suitable when carrying the clothing 1 in the form of a bag on the back (see FIG. 7), etc.

[0023] The tip part of the shoulder strap 8 on the neck side is exposed when the cover 72 is opened. Thereby, the wearer U can pull out the shoulder strap 8 from the storage part 7 and carry the clothing 1 on the back (see FIGS. 4 and 6(A), (B)). Note that the shoulder strap 8 may be provided with a mechanism (not shown) for adjusting its length.

[0024] Therefore, the main usage modes of the clothing 1 are as follows: (1) wearing the clothing 1 (see FIG. 5), (2) hanging the shoulder strap 8 on the shoulder without storing the front body 2 and the back body 3 in the storage part 7 (see FIG. 6), and (3) forming the clothing 1 into the shape of a bag (see FIG. 7). That is, it can be deformed into either the planar shape of the above (1) or the three-dimensional shapes of the above (2) and (3).

[0025] Hereinafter, the usage mode (3) will be described. In the worn state shown in FIG. 1, the storage part 7 is turned inside out by pushing out the inner surface side of the storage part 7 from the opening 73 (see FIG. 8A), and further, the front body 2 and the back body 3 (the sleeve parts 4, 5 and the hood 6) are pushed into the (turned inside out) storage part 7 from the opening 73 (see FIGS. 8B and 8C). Then, by covering the opening 73 with the cover 72, it becomes the shape of a bag.

[0026] The wearer U can use the clothing 1 as a backpack (see FIG. 7). At this time, since the fabric 71 of the storage part 7 has a double structure, it functions as a pocket of the bag.

[0027] According to the present embodiment, without impairing the design, the clothing can be provided with a storage capacity sufficient to store clothing made of a relatively thick fabric or relatively large clothing.

[0028] In addition, when the wearer U feels hot when wearing the clothing 1, the wearer U can take off the clothing 1 and hang the shoulder strap 8 on the shoulder (see FIG. 6). That is, even when the clothing 1 is taken off, hands-free activities are possible.

[0029] As described above, the representative embodiments of the present invention have been described. However, the present invention is not limited to these only, and various design changes are possible, and all the embodiments with such design changes are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.
