Benefits of technology

[0006] It is therefore an aim of the present invention to provide an improved closing means for open ends of a garment, which allows for a selective adjustment of the tension around the open end.
[0007] It is also an aim of the present invention to provide an improved closing means for a tubular portion of a garment, which allows for a selective adjustment of the tension around a perimeter thereof.

Problems solved by technology

However, such an approach does not allow for adjustment of the tension of the end around the body of the user.
Such a strip usually partially closes the sleeve by creating an inward fold in the border of the sleeve, which can be uncomfortable to the wearer.

Embodiment Construction

[0016] Referring to FIG. 1, a jersey 10, which can be for example a hockey jersey, is shown. The jersey 10 includes a substantially tubular body 12 defining a chest portion 14, a back portion (not shown) and a shoulder portion 16 which are interconnected and configured for respectively covering the chest, back and shoulders of a wearer. The chest, front and shoulder portions can be separately formed and assembled together, or two or more can be integrally formed from a single panel of material, cloth, leather, etc. Alternately, any of the chest, back and shoulder portions can be composed of a plurality of assembled panels. The jersey 10 also includes a pair of substantially tubular sleeves 18, each extending from the body 12 for containing at least part of an arm of the wearer. Each sleeve 18 has an open end 20 which includes closing means 22 allowing the end 20 to be selectively closed substantially around the arm of the wearer, for example, tightly around the arm of the wearer.

Abstract

A garment having closing means at an open end of a tubular portion thereof. The closing means include a strip with a first end connected to the tubular portion proximate the open end and a second free end. The strip is slidably retained around the open end and the second end includes first retaining means. The closing means also include second retaining means on the tubular portion proximate the open end and defining at least one closing point where the first retaining means is detachably connectable thereto, a distance between the closing point and the first end of the strip being greater than a distance between the first end of the strip and the first retaining means. Upon engagement of the first and second retaining means at the closing point, the strip contracts the open end to an at least partially closed position.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates generally to garments having closing means around open ends thereof, more particularly to closing means for an open end of a jersey sleeve. [0003] 2. Background Art [0004] Various types of closing means for garment open ends are known. For example, it has been known to provide a circular elastic strip inside the hem of a garment open end (e.g. jersey sleeve, pant leg, waist band of pants or of a sweater, etc), such as to retain the end against the body of the user. However, such an approach does not allow for adjustment of the tension of the end around the body of the user. [0005] It has also been known to provide a strip of material extending freely from an outer wall of a sleeve end and having a hook and loop fastener detachably connectable to another hook and loop fastener defined in the outer wall of the sleeve. Such a strip usually partially closes the sleeve by creating an inward ...
