Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing technology, specifically to a garment that can be converted into a backpack. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of outdoor sports and leisure activities, lightweight jackets with sun protection and wind protection functions have become common equipment for daily outings, effectively protecting wearers from ultraviolet radiation or wind chill.

[0003] However, in actual wear, as the ambient temperature rises or the amount of exercise increases, the wearer's perceived temperature rises, and they often want to tuck in the front panel, sleeves, and other covered parts of the garment to obtain better heat dissipation and comfort. However, traditional coats do not have partial storage functions, and the wearer can only choose to take off the entire garment.

[0004] Furthermore, in outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and mountaineering, users are usually already carrying backpacks. When clothes are taken off, they are often either held by hand or haphazardly stuffed into the backpack. Holding them by hand affects the convenience of the activity, while stuffing them into the backpack takes up limited backpack space. In either case, the clothes become an extra burden during the trip.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a multifunctional garment that can conveniently store excess parts and transform into a backpack after being taken off, so that the wearer can quickly store the garment when not in use without the need for additional storage methods. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a garment that can be converted into a backpack, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a garment that can be converted into a backpack, comprising a garment body and sleeves connected to the garment body, a bag body being provided on the outer back side of the garment body, a plurality of connecting portions being provided between the garment body and the bag body, and a sandwich space being formed between the back side of the garment body and the bag body for storing the front piece of the garment body and the sleeves, the sandwich space having an opening for inserting the front piece of the garment body and the sleeves.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting part is located between the hem of the garment and the bottom of the bag body.

[0009] Preferably, the opening is provided with a zipper, the zipper including a first toothed band and a second toothed band, the first toothed band being fixed to the side edge of the opening, and the second toothed band being fixed to the inner side of the garment extending up and down along the shoulder.

[0010] Preferably, the opening is located on the left and right sides of the interlayer space.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the bag body has an independent opening, and the independent opening has a drawstring.

[0012] Preferably, the garment has shoulder straps inside.

[0013] Preferably, the shoulder strap is a webbing sewn into the inside of the garment, with the upper end of the webbing fixed to the shoulder area of ​​the garment and the lower end fixed to the hem area of ​​the garment.

[0014] Preferably, the connecting part is also located between the shoulder of the garment and the upper sides of the bag body.

[0015] Preferably, the connecting portion is further disposed between the upper edge of the garment and the upper edge of the bag body, and the connecting portion extends along the upper edges of the garment and the bag body.

[0016] Preferably, the garment body has a hooded structure.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention features a bag body located on the outer back of the garment, creating a sandwich space between the garment and the bag body. This allows the wearer to tuck the front panel and sleeves into this space when needed. Once tucked in, the bag body forms the main backpack compartment, which can be directly carried using the inner shoulder straps without the need for additional hand-held storage or storage tools, freeing up the wearer's hands. The shoulder straps fit snugly inside the garment, adding no bulk and maintaining comfort. The zipper uses a split design: the first zipper tooth is fixed to the edge of the opening, and the second zipper tooth is fixed to the inside of the garment. After tucking the front panel and sleeves into the sandwich space, the two zipper teeth align to close the zipper smoothly and conveniently. Furthermore, several connecting parts are located between the garment and the bag body. By strategically placing these connecting parts, downward pulling forces are effectively distributed when the backpack is heavily loaded, replacing the stress borne by the zipper and improving the structural stability and reliability of the backpack.

They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0022] In the description of this patent, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or setting, a detachable connection or setting, or an integrated connection or setting. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this patent according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a number" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0024] Example 1 like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a garment that can be converted into a backpack, including a body 1 and sleeves 2 connected to the body 1. The structural design of this invention is not limited to a specific type of clothing and is applicable to various outerwear such as sun-protective clothing, windbreakers, raincoats, and jackets. This embodiment uses sun-protective clothing as an example for explanation. The body 1 adopts a loose fit, facilitating the wearer's movement, while also ensuring that the front panel of the body and sleeves 2 have a small storage volume after folding, which is beneficial for subsequent conversion operations. The front panel of the body refers to the portion of the body 1 that covers the front of the wearer's chest and abdomen. Figure 1 As shown, the front panel of the garment has a zipper along the center front line, forming an open placket structure for easy dressing and undressing.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer back of the garment 1 has a bag body 3. When the sun-protective clothing is worn, the bag body 3 is slightly bulging, forming a thin bag that fits snugly against the wearer's back, with a natural overall appearance and without affecting daily wearability. The top of the bag body 3 has an independent opening, with a cover 8 and a drawstring 9 at the opening. When the cover 8 is folded down, it and the drawstring 9 together seal the bag opening. When the sun-protective clothing is worn, the wearer can also store small personal items such as mobile phones and keys inside the bag body 3 through this independent opening.

[0026] Several connecting portions 4 are provided between the garment body 1 and the bag body 3. In this embodiment, the connecting portions 4 are located between the hem of the garment body 1 and the bottom of the bag body 3, that is, the hem of the garment body 1 and the bottom of the bag body 3 are fixedly connected by sewing. Through the setting of the connecting portions 4, a sandwich space is formed between the back of the garment body 1 and the bag body 3. The sandwich space is used to store the front piece of the garment body and the sleeves 2 when converted into backpack mode. Openings are provided on the left and right sides of the sandwich space.

[0027] The opening is equipped with a zipper 5, which is a two-piece design consisting of a first toothed strap and a second toothed strap. The first toothed strap is fixed to the side edge of the opening, that is, on both sides where the bag body 3 and the back of the garment body 1 meet. The second toothed strap is fixed to the inside of the garment body 1 that fits against the back of the human body, extending vertically near the shoulder.

[0028] When the sun-protective clothing is worn, the first and second chain-toothed straps are in different positions, do not interfere with each other, and do not affect wearing comfort. When the front panel and sleeves 2 are tucked into the interlayer space, the second chain-toothed strap, which was originally hidden inside the garment 1, is exposed. At this time, aligning the second chain-toothed strap with the first chain-toothed strap on the edge of the opening and pulling the zipper 5 will close the interlayer space, preventing the front panel and sleeves 2 stored inside from coming out.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a shoulder strap 6 is sewn into the lining of the garment body 1. The shoulder strap 6 is a webbing structure, with its upper end fixed to the shoulder area of ​​the lining of the garment body 1 and its lower end fixed to the hem area of ​​the lining of the garment body 1. The webbing has an adjustment buckle 7, allowing the user to adjust the length of the shoulder strap 6 according to their body shape. When the sun-protective clothing is worn, the shoulder strap 6 naturally fits against the lining of the garment body 1, that is, against one side of the wearer's back, like part of the lining of the clothing, without increasing the thickness of the clothing or affecting wearing comfort.

[0030] The steps for changing the sun-protective clothing from clothing to backpack mode in this embodiment are as follows: (1) Take off the sun protection clothing; (2) Fold the front piece of the garment and sleeves 2, and insert them into the interlayer space through the openings on the left and right sides of the interlayer space; (3) After the front piece of the garment and sleeve 2 are inserted, the second chain toothed belt fixed to the inside of the garment 1 is aligned with the first chain toothed belt on the edge of the opening, and the zipper 5 is pulled to close the interlayer space. (4) Turn the shoulder straps 6 out from the inside of the garment 1, adjust the adjustment buckle 7 to the appropriate length, and then carry it.

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the backpack is in use, the main body 3 forms the main compartment of the backpack, and the user can carry it by draping the shoulder straps 6 over both shoulders. The user can access items through the independent opening at the top of the main body 3. After opening the cover 8 and loosening the drawstring 9, items can be placed or taken out. After use, the cover 8 can be closed and the drawstring 9 can be tightened to seal the backpack.

[0032] To restore the backpack to its original sun protection function, simply reverse the steps described above: loosen zipper 5, remove the front panel and sleeves 2 from the inner compartment, smooth them out, and then wear it normally.

[0033] In this embodiment, the garment body 1 also has a hooded structure, with the hood 10 connected to the neckline of the garment body 1. When the sun-protective clothing is worn, the hood 10 can provide sun protection for the wearer's head. When the sun-protective clothing is converted into a backpack, the hood 10 can be tucked into the interlayer space along with the front panel and sleeves 2 through the opening for overall storage; alternatively, the hood 10 can be left outside the interlayer space without being stored, depending on the user's actual needs.

[0034] Example 2 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, in addition to the connection part 4 being located between the hem of the garment body 1 and the bottom of the bag body 3, a connection part 4 is also added between the shoulder of the garment body 1 and the upper sides of the bag body 3. When the backpack is loaded with many items and has a large overall weight, the bag body 3 will be subjected to a downward pulling force. If the connection part 4 is only located at the bottom, this downward pulling force will be mainly borne by the zippers 5 at the openings on both sides of the interlayer space. Long-term use or vigorous exercise may cause the zippers 5 to open accidentally due to excessive force.

[0035] By adding a connecting part 4 to the shoulder, the downward pulling force can be transmitted to the shoulder structure of the garment body 1 through the shoulder connecting part 4, thereby replacing the zipper 5 to bear the stress, preventing the zipper 5 from opening accidentally due to the load, and improving the structural stability when the backpack is in the state of being.

[0036] Example 3 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiments 1 and 2 is that, in addition to being located between the hem of the garment body 1 and the bottom of the bag body 3, the connecting part 4 extends along the upper edge of the garment body 1 and the upper edge of the bag body 3, forming a continuous connecting part 4 distributed along the upper edge. Similar to Embodiment 2, this embodiment also aims to solve the stress problem caused by the downward pulling force on the zippers 5 at the openings on both sides of the interlayer space when the backpack is under load. Embodiment 2 adds point-type connecting parts 4 on both sides of the shoulder to transfer the downward pulling force to the shoulder structure of the garment body 1 instead of the zipper 5 bearing the stress; while in this embodiment, the connecting part 4 is continuously arranged along the upper edge, resulting in a larger connection area and a more even distribution of the downward pulling force, further reducing the stress concentration on the zipper 5, making it suitable for usage scenarios requiring heavy loads or vigorous exercise.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the invention.
