Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of clothing, specifically relating to a collared top. Background Technology

[0002] As we all know, the collar of a shirt can enhance one's personal image to a certain extent. However, collared shirts such as polo shirts, shirts, suits, and jackets on the market generally have problems such as high wearing pressure. This is mainly because, in order to ensure that the collar does not deform, most of them will consider thickening the collar or padding the inside of the collar with a support (lining).

[0003] For example, Chinese patent document CN107149176A discloses a collared top with a thickened collar. The top includes a body, sleeves, and a collar. The collar is made of Oxford cloth, and the inner surface of the collar is equipped with a thickened layer, which effectively solves the problem that the collar of the collared top is prone to deformation. However, such a thick collar also increases the pressure on the wearer's shoulders.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent document CN109757797A discloses a T-shirt and a method for manufacturing a T-shirt. The T-shirt includes a top and a collar connected to the top. The collar includes a lapel and a collar stand. The lapel includes a first lapel and a second lapel connected to each other. The first lapel and the second lapel are glued together by double-sided adhesive. The bottom of the lapel is sandwiched inside the collar stand. This simplifies the production process of the collar and makes the collar look more crisp and beautiful. However, it also has the problem of increasing pressure on the wearer's shoulders.

[0005] Reducing the pressure of the collar on the shoulders to improve wearing comfort has become an important development topic. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a collared top that provides less pressure on the shoulders and is more comfortable to wear.

[0007] The solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0008] The collared top of this invention has points B and C, which are obtained by extending horizontally 15cm to the left and right sides from the center point A of the seam between the collar and the body at the back of the neck. Points B and C are connected to the sleeve bottom points E and F on the same side, respectively. A sample fabric with a collar is cut along the edges BE and CF to obtain a front and back piece of fabric. The weight of the sample fabric is recorded as y. Point D is obtained by extending vertically downward 25cm from the center point A. Points B and D, and C and D are connected to form an inverted isosceles triangle. A sample fabric with a collar is cut along the two sides BD and CD of the isosceles triangle to obtain a front and back piece of fabric. The weight of the sample fabric is recorded as x. x and y satisfy the following relationship: (x / y)×100%≦28.0%.

[0009] The collared top of this invention has the advantage of being lightweight, with less pressure on the shoulders from the collar, resulting in good wearing comfort. Such a top is not only suitable for sports occasions but also for business occasions, greatly improving the convenience of wearing it. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The collared top of this invention does not include styles with special sleeve designs such as batwing sleeves or wide-shoulder sleeves. Points B and C are obtained by extending horizontally 15cm to the left and right sides from the center point A of the seam between the collar and the body of the top. Points B and C are connected to the sleeve hem points E and F on the same side, respectively. A sample fabric with a collar is cut along edges BE and CF, connecting the front and back pieces. The weight of this sample fabric is recorded as y. Point D is obtained by extending vertically downwards 25cm from the center point A. Points B and D, and C and D are connected to form an inverted isosceles triangle. A sample fabric with a collar is cut along the two sides BD and CD of the isosceles triangle, connecting the front and back pieces. The weight of this sample fabric is recorded as x. x and y satisfy the following relationship: (x / y)×100%≦28.0%. If it exceeds 28.0%, the wearer will experience pressure (burden) on their shoulders. Furthermore, considering that a collar thickness below 15.0% results in a thinner collar and a decrease in shape retention, limiting the occasions for wearing it, a thickness between 15.0% and 28.0% is preferred, and more preferably between 18.0% and 28.0%. Here, a collared top refers to a top with a back shoulder length between 68 and 76 cm and a width (half the chest circumference) between 50 and 58 cm.

[0017] Preferably, points B and C are obtained by extending horizontally 15cm to the left and right sides from the center point A of the seam between the collar and the body of the top. Points B and C are connected to the sleeve bottom points E and F on the same side. The center points of line segments BE and CF are taken and connected to form line segment a. Based on line segment a, two parallel lines b and c are drawn 5cm upwards and downwards respectively. The parallel lines b and c are extended vertically downwards from the center point A and intersect parallel lines b and c at points G and H respectively. Based on point G, points I and J are obtained 10cm to the left and right respectively. Based on point H, points K and L are obtained 10cm to the left and right respectively. Points I, K, L, J and I are connected in sequence to obtain a rectangular area. The lateral elastic elongation of the fabric in the rectangular area on the back of the top is more than 30%. If the lateral elastic elongation of the aforementioned area is less than 30%, the feeling of restriction on the back tends to increase when wearing the garment, whether in motion or at rest, which may affect wearing comfort and movement flexibility. More preferably, the lateral elastic elongation of the fabric in the rectangular area of ​​the back of the top is 30% to 100%; more preferably, the lateral elastic elongation of the fabric in the rectangular area of ​​the back of the top is 30% to 80%.

[0018] Generally, if the fabric has a certain degree of stiffness and softness, the garment not only has a better shape but also reduces the contact area with the body to some extent, making it feel lighter and more comfortable. Therefore, preferably, the stiffness and softness of the shoulder fabric used in the garment of this invention is 23.0 mm or more. Considering the appearance of the garment, it is further preferred that the stiffness and softness of the shoulder fabric is 23.0 mm to 80.0 mm; more preferably, the stiffness and softness of the shoulder fabric is 23.0 mm to 60.0 mm.

[0019] The collared top of this invention includes a collar, a front part of the garment, a back, shoulders, and sleeves. The fabrics used in these areas can be the same or different. This invention does not impose any limitations on the fiber raw materials of the fabrics used in these areas; they can be rationally selected as needed. Considering factors such as movement tracking and wrinkle resistance, it is preferable that at least one of the aforementioned areas uses fabrics containing polyester elastic fibers; more preferably, all areas use fabrics containing polyester elastic fibers. Examples of polyester elastic fibers include polyethylene terephthalate / polybutylene terephthalate composite fiber (hereinafter referred to as PET / PBT), polyethylene terephthalate / polypropylene terephthalate composite fiber (hereinafter referred to as PET / PTT), polybutylene terephthalate fiber (hereinafter referred to as PBT), polypropylene terephthalate fiber (hereinafter referred to as PTT), and high-shrinkage polyester fiber (hereinafter referred to as high-shrinkage PET), etc. The composite fibers can be in a core-sheath, parallel, or other composite form. High-shrinkage PET fiber refers to PET fiber with a boiling water shrinkage rate of 20% to 80%. Considering factors such as stiffness, high-shrinkage PET fibers are preferred, with a boiling water shrinkage rate of 40% to 80%, and more preferably PET fibers with a boiling water shrinkage rate of 40% to 50%.

[0020] The polyester elastic fiber of the present invention has a smaller monofilament fineness, a smaller bending modulus, and better hand softness. The preferred monofilament fineness is 0.7 to 2.8 dtex. Considering stiffness and other properties, a monofilament fineness of 1.0 to 2.8 dtex is more preferred.

[0021] The collared top of this invention does not have a particularly limited fabric weave and can be selected according to needs. For example, when used in spring and summer, the weave can be plain weave, chain stitch, warp twill, pique knit, plain knit, etc. Considering the need for elasticity and a crisp, structured look, plain weave is preferred. When used in autumn and winter, the weave can be double-layer air layer weave, cotton-wool weave, Roman weave, etc. Considering that autumn and winter clothing needs to have not only elasticity and a crisp, structured look, but also excellent warmth and a napped effect, double-layer air layer weave is preferred.

[0022] Preferably, the fabric forming the garment of the present invention has a transverse density of 35-80 loops / inch and a longitudinal density of 40-90 loops / inch. When such fabric is used on the back and shoulders, it not only reduces constriction on the back but also reduces the contact area between the fabric and the skin, resulting in a lightweight feel. More preferably, the transverse density is 50-70 loops / inch and the longitudinal density is 60-80 loops / inch.

[0023] The collar of the garment of this invention can be made up of multiple layers as needed. The more layers there are, the better the stiffness. However, it is recommended not to exceed 3 layers, otherwise the pressure (load) on the shoulders will tend to increase.

[0024] Preferably, the collar of the garment of this invention can be padded as needed. The thicker the padded collar, the better its shape retention. However, it is not recommended to padded it too much, otherwise the pressure (burden) on the shoulders will tend to increase.

[0025] The collar of this invention's top can be a turn-down collar, a stand-up collar, or a square collar. For spring and summer use, a turn-down collar is preferred. For autumn and winter use, a stand-up collar is preferred.

[0026] Preferably, in the present invention, when the collar is turned down, the width of the collar piece in the middle (the distance from the midpoint of the outer collar line to the midpoint of the inner collar line) is 1-10 cm, and the width of the collar piece edge (the distance from the end point of the outer collar line to the collar point) is 2-10 cm; when the collar is stood up, the width of the collar piece in the middle (the distance from the midpoint of the collar seam to the midpoint of the top collar line) is 1-10 cm, and the width of the collar piece edge (the distance from the apex of the collar seam to the end point of the top collar line on the same side) is 2-10 cm. The collar piece width within the above range not only ensures the crispness of the collar, but also provides a moderate contact area between the collar and the neck without causing pressure (burden).

[0027] Preferably, in the garment of the present invention, when a placket is present, the placket is a straight placket. Similarly, the number of composite layers of the placket can be selected as needed; the more layers, the greater the pressure (weight) tends to be.

[0028] The top of this invention allows for the selection of the number of composite layers at the shoulders as needed. The more layers, the better the shape retention, but it is not recommended to exceed two layers, otherwise the pressure (burden) on the shoulders tends to increase.

[0029] The number of composite layers in the area above the waist and below the shoulders of the garment of this invention can be selected as needed. The more layers, the better the shape retention, but it is not recommended to exceed 2 layers, otherwise the pressure (weight) in this area tends to increase.

[0030] The jacket of this invention may have buttons on its placket, which may be metal or resin buttons, or it may have no placket and use accessories such as zippers. The number of metal or resin buttons is not particularly limited and can be selected as needed, preferably 3 to 4. There are no particular limitations on the buttons and accessories, but their weight is preferably between 2g and 8g, and lightweight materials should be used as much as possible.

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and comparative examples.

[0032] The testing methods for each parameter involved in this invention are as follows.

[0033] (1) Elastic elongation

[0034] The test was conducted according to JIS L1096:2010D method (fixed load of 9.8N).

[0035] (2) Stiffness

[0036] The test was conducted according to JIS L1096:2010A.

[0037] (3) Boiling water shrinkage rate

[0038] The test was conducted according to JIS L1013:2010B.

[0039] (4) Wearing comparison experiment

[0040] Twenty men of Asian size L were selected as subjects for the wearing experiment. A subjective reporting method was used, comparing and scoring each pair of the embodiment and control sample 1 (or control sample 2). The total weight of the control sample garment was the same as that of the embodiment garment. Using the weight of the control sample as a benchmark, subjects were asked about their feelings, with the following scoring criteria: -2: Significantly light or very comfortable during exercise; -1: Somewhat light or fairly comfortable during exercise; 0: Neither light nor heavy or no noticeable difference; 1: Somewhat heavy or poorly comfortable during exercise; 2: Significantly heavy or very poorly comfortable during exercise. During the wearing experiment, subjects were kept quiet for 30 minutes in a room with a temperature of 26°C and a humidity of 50% RH to ensure their bodies were in a stable state. They were blindfolded to eliminate subjective judgments based on visual perception. The control sample was worn first, followed by the garment of this invention for comparison. Subjects were asked to give scores for standing static wearing the garment and for upright push-ups (where subjects had their legs shoulder-width apart, toes 50cm from the wall, and hands 30cm apart on the wall, and performed upright push-ups for 30 seconds at a metronome speed of 30 repetitions per minute). The average score reported by 20 subjects was taken as the data for standing and push-up postures during the comparative wearing experiment of this invention.
