[0002] Clothing, as a necessity in daily life, primarily functions as an adornment and decoration. Traditional tops or coats have simple designs and cannot be easily converted between wearing and other functional forms. When users need to temporarily store items, traditional clothing cannot provide an effective solution if they do not have packaging bags, leading to inconvenience in carrying belongings. For example, during outdoor activities or impromptu shopping trips, users may face the problem of having nowhere to store their items due to a lack of storage tools. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a multifunctional garment with switchable forms.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A multifunctional garment with switchable forms includes a main body of an upper garment, sleeves on both sides of the main body of the upper garment, a neckline at the top of the main body of the upper garment, a wearing entrance at the bottom of the main body of the upper garment, a front drawstring structure on the front of the main body of the upper garment, a back drawstring structure on the back of the main body of the upper garment, a neckline zipper that closes the neckline when closed, and an elastic drawstring in the hem area of ​​the main body of the upper garment, which extends around the main body of the upper garment and the two sleeves, and the elastic drawstring is exposed at the two sleeves.

[0006] When the neckline zipper is open, the main body of the top changes to the clothing; when the neckline zipper is closed, the clothing entrance of the main body of the top is used as the opening, and the front and back drawstring structures are pulled out towards the lower end of the main body of the top, changing the main body of the top to the bag.

[0007] As a further improvement, the main body of the garment includes an outer layer and an inner layer, which are connected to each other. The upper end of the inner layer extends to the neckline, and a hood is attached to the inner layer at the neckline.

[0008] As a further improvement, the front drawstring structure includes two spaced-apart front channels and a front drawstring. The two front channels are located inside the main body of the garment and extend from the lower part to the upper part of the main body of the garment. The front drawstring extends along the two front channels, and both ends of the front drawstring are exposed outside the two front channels.

[0009] As a further improvement, the front pull cord is a single cord that extends into two front channels; or the front pull cord is two cords, one corresponding to one front channel, with one end of the two cords connected.

[0010] As a further improvement, the back drawstring structure includes two spaced-apart back channels and a back drawstring. The two back channels are located inside the main body of the garment and extend from the lower part to the upper part of the main body of the garment. The back drawstring extends along the two back channels, and the two ends of the back drawstring are exposed outside the two back channels.

[0011] As a further improvement, the back pull cord is a single cord that extends into two back channels; or the back pull cord is two cords, one corresponding to one back channel, with one end of the two cords connected.

[0012] As a further improvement, the sleeve is internally connected to the main body of the garment, and the side of the sleeve is sewn to the main body of the garment.

[0013] As a further improvement, a zipper is provided in the lower part of the main body of the garment.

[0014] As a further improvement, the two front channels and two back channels are symmetrically distributed on the front and back of the main body of the garment, with a spacing of 6-10 cm between the two front channels and a spacing of 6-10 cm between the two back channels.

[0015] As a further improvement, the portion of the elastic drawstring exposed outside the sleeve is provided with a locking mechanism.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0017] By combining a neckline zipper, elastic drawstring, and drawstrings on the front and back, the garment can be quickly switched between clothing and storage bag modes. By adjusting the closure of the neckline and hem, different modes can be transformed. The garment itself can be converted into an adjustable container. Through structural reorganization, the function can be switched, solving the problem of traditional clothing having limited functionality and being unable to flexibly adapt to different scenarios. It has the advantages of improving ease of use and reducing the extra burden of carrying, thus meeting the user's needs. Attached Figure Description

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1-3As shown, a multifunctional garment with switchable modes includes a main body 1, sleeves 2 on both sides of the main body 1, a neckline 3 at the top, and a wearing entrance at the bottom. The main body 1 has a front drawstring and a back drawstring. A neckline zipper 4 is installed at the neckline 3, which closes when closed. An elastic drawstring 5 is located in the hem area of ​​the main body 1, extending around the main body 1 and the two sleeves 2, with the drawstring exposed at each sleeve 2. The drawstring allows adjustment of the sleeve's retraction level. When the neckline zipper is open, the main body is transformed into a garment for wearing; when the neckline zipper is closed, the wearing entrance of the main body serves as an opening, and the front and back drawstrings are pulled towards the bottom of the main body, transforming the main body into a bag-carrying garment.

[0031] Meanwhile, drawstring structures are installed on the front and back of the main body 1 of the garment to ensure balanced force. The neckline zipper refers to a continuous interlocking component along the neckline edge, which forms a complete closed loop when closed, transforming the upper part of the garment into a closed end. The elastic drawstring refers to a resilient strap that wraps around the hem and cuffs; its elasticity adapts to different storage volumes, and the drawstring section exposed at the cuffs is easy to grip and adjust. The locking block refers to a limiting component fixed to the end of the drawstring, which can be made of plastic or metal and can be used to lock the elastic drawstring in place.

[0032] Specifically, when the neckline zipper is open, the garment maintains its normal wearing position, and the user can put on and take off the garment through the lower entryway. When it needs to be converted into a storage bag, closing the neckline zipper completely seals the upper part of the garment. Simultaneously pulling the drawstring structures on the front and back gradually narrows the lower opening of the garment until it is closed, creating a closed space inside. The elastic drawstring can be adjusted for tightness via the exposed sections at the cuffs to accommodate items of different sizes. Locking clips secure the ends of the drawstrings to prevent accidental loosening. This structure achieves the functional transformation of the garment into a storage bag by adjusting the closure of key points.

[0033] Compared to existing technologies, traditional clothing only has a single wearing function. This solution, through an adjustable zipper and drawstring system, allows the same garment to freely switch between wearing and storage modes. Conventional designs require carrying additional storage tools, while this solution directly utilizes the garment's structure to achieve the function of carrying items, reducing the user's burden when traveling. The combination of elastic drawstrings and locking mechanisms overcomes the inconvenience of adjusting traditional fixed straps.

[0034] Through the above technical solution, this application effectively resolves the contradiction between the need for temporary storage and the limited functionality of clothing. While maintaining the basic wearing function of clothing, structural innovation endows it with storage capacity, avoiding difficulties for users in carrying items due to the lack of dedicated packaging. This solution allows for simple form transformation, enhancing the practicality and adaptability of clothing to various usage scenarios.

[0035] The main body of the garment 1 includes an outer layer 6 and an inner layer 7, which are connected to each other. The upper end of the inner layer 7 extends to the neckline 3, and a hood 8 is connected to the inner layer at the neckline 3.

[0036] The outer layer 6 and inner layer 7 refer to the two independent fabrics that make up the main body 1 of the garment. The inner layer can be made of mesh fabric, while the outer layer can be made of different fabrics as needed. They can be connected to each other through sewing or heat pressing to form a garment body with a layered structure. The inner layer extending to the neckline means that the edge of the inner layer extends upwards and is sewn to the neckline to ensure a snug fit when worn. The inner layer at the neckline with a hood means that a foldable hood component is set in the inner layer near the neckline. This can be achieved using a hidden connection structure, such as using snaps or zippers to secure the hood inside the inner layer.

[0037] The hood 8 can be tucked inside the main body 1 of the garment, and then the neckline zipper 4 can be closed, thus completely closing the upper part of the main body 1 of the garment. When needed, the hood can be pulled out and unfolded from the neckline to form a head protection structure with wind and rain protection functions. The extended design of the inner layer makes the connection point of the hood closer to the human neck, avoiding tearing at the connection point due to external pulling.

[0038] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves concealed storage and rapid retrieval of clothing components during garment transformation, solving the problem of bulky appearance caused by the external hood in traditional hooded garments. After the neckline is closed, the main body of the upper garment can be formed into a storage bag, which can be used to hold various items.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the front drawstring structure includes two spaced front channels 9 and a front drawstring 10. The two front channels 9 are located inside the main body 1 of the garment and extend from the lower part to the upper part of the main body 1 of the garment. The front drawstring 10 extends along the two front channels 9, and both ends of the front drawstring 10 are exposed outside the two front channels 9.

[0041] The front pull cord is a single rope that extends into two front channels. One end of the rope enters one front channel, exits, and then enters the other front channel and extends out, so that one end of the two front channels is connected by the rope, while the other two ends of the rope are exposed at the other ends of the two front channels, preferably near the neckline.

[0042] Alternatively, the front pull rope can be two ropes, one rope corresponding to one front channel, with one end of the two ropes connected.

[0043] The back drawstring structure includes two spaced-apart back channels 11 and a back drawstring 12. The two back channels 11 are located inside the main body of the garment 1 and extend from the lower part to the upper part of the main body of the garment. The back drawstring 12 extends along the two back channels 11, and both ends of the back drawstring 12 are exposed outside the two back channels. The back drawstring is a single rope that extends into the two back channels; or the back drawstring is two ropes, one corresponding to one back channel, with one end of the two ropes connected.

[0044] The front channel 9 and the back channel 11 refer to the tubular structures set inside the main body 1 of the garment. Specifically, these channels are formed by fixing the fabric layers together through sewing or gluing, and are used to guide the movement of the front and back pull cords. Both the front and back pull cords can be made of various materials, such as nylon or polyester, and are operated by pulling through the exposed ends.

[0045] Specifically, two front channels 9 and two back channels 11 extend upwards from the hem area to near the neckline 3. Front drawstrings are threaded through the two channels, with their ends exposed at the lower openings of each channel. When the garment needs to be switched to a pouch-like configuration, simultaneously pulling the exposed ends of the two front drawstrings causes the front area of ​​the garment to contract towards the center, forming a wrap-around structure. The extension path of the channels ensures that the drawstrings are evenly distributed under stress, avoiding localized stress concentration that could lead to deformation. For example, anti-knotting or buckles can be installed at both ends of the drawstrings to prevent them from completely detaching from the channels during the pulling process.

[0046] Through the above technical solution, this application solves the problems of low adjustment efficiency and uneven force distribution of traditional clothing drawstring structures. By the synergistic effect of dual channels and drawstrings, the clothing can be quickly transformed into a wrap-around shape, while ensuring that the drawstring can maintain a stable path after multiple pulls.

[0047] Example 3

[0048] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the sleeve 2 is connected to the interior of the main body 1 of the garment, and the side of the sleeve 2 is sewn to the main body 1 of the garment.

[0049] Internal connectivity refers to the formation of a continuous cavity between the internal space of sleeve 2 and the internal space of the main body of the garment 1. This can be achieved by directly sewing the open end of the sleeve to the side edge of the main body of the garment, thus creating an unobstructed continuous space inside the garment.

[0050] Among them, sewing connection refers to fixing the side edge of the sleeve to the side edge of the main body of the garment through sewing stitches. Specifically, it can be achieved by double-line overlocking or triple-line overlocking. The sewing track extends along the joint between the side edge of the sleeve and the side edge of the garment.

[0051] Specifically, when the main body of the garment is transformed into a pouch-like structure, the continuous space inside the sleeves and the main body cavity together form the storage area. The fixed boundary formed by the sewn connection prevents tearing at the seam between the sleeve and the body. The sewing connection process creates an inseparable rigid connection between the sleeve side and the body, preventing displacement at the seam when the drawstring is pulled. For example, when using a double-stitched overlock seam, the seam path covers the overlapping area of ​​the sleeve side and the body side, forming a double-layered reinforced structure.

[0052] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves stable reinforcement of the connection between the sleeve and the garment body, ensuring that the seam can withstand the tension generated by loading items when the garment is used as a storage bag, while expanding the continuity of the storage space, so that the sleeve space can be effectively used as an additional storage area.

[0053] Furthermore, the lower part of the main body 1 of the garment is equipped with a zipper 13, which serves a closing function. Specifically, when the garment is worn, the zipper 13 remains closed to ensure the hem forms a complete circular outline, preventing cold air from entering. When the garment needs to be switched to hold a bag, the zipper is fully opened to enlarge the diameter of the hem opening, allowing items to be inserted into the garment through the unfolded hem area. The closing direction of the zipper works in conjunction with the tightening direction of the elastic drawstring. When the drawstring is tightened, the zipper closes to prevent frictional wear between the drawstring and the hem edge, while when the drawstring is loosened, the zipper unfolds to provide ample operating space for storing and retrieving items.

[0054] Compared to existing technologies, traditional deformable garments typically rely on a single drawstring structure to adjust the hem size. However, the drawstring has a limited tightening range and is prone to loosening, making it difficult to maintain the required hem opening size stably during shape changes. This solution adds a zipper, superimposing a rigid closing structure on top of the drawstring tightening, enabling the hem opening to both quickly unfold and change shape, while maintaining a stable opening size through a dual locking mechanism.

[0055] Through the above technical solution, this application effectively solves the technical problems of inaccurate adjustment and insecure fixation of the hem opening size during garment form switching. The rigid closure characteristic of the zipper can precisely control the opening and closing degree of the hem opening, avoiding the size deviation caused by material deformation when relying solely on the elastic drawstring. At the same time, its zipper tooth interlocking structure can provide reliable anti-fall-off protection for the inserted items.

[0056] The two front channels and two back channels are symmetrically distributed on the front and back of the main body of the garment. The two front channels are spaced 6-10 cm apart, and the two back channels are spaced 6-10 cm apart. The spacing is set to facilitate the bearing of force.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, in its fully unfolded state, the collar zipper is open, the hood and coat are exposed, and the overall shape is a cape-like coat, which is worn as clothing.

[0058] like Figure 4-6 As shown, when switching from clothing to a storage bag, first tuck the hood into the main body of the garment, close the neckline zipper 4 to close the neckline 3; then pull the elastic drawstrings 5 ​​on the two sleeves 2 to tighten the sleeves 2 into the main body 1 of the garment. At this point, the whole garment forms a storage bag shape. Flip it 180 degrees so that the neckline is at the bottom and the original garment entrance is at the top. The entrance is open, so you can put items inside. Then pull out the front drawstring and the back drawstring to make it easy to carry.

[0059] It should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. However, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
