Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of clothing, and relates to a piece of clothing, especially a stretchable clothing. Background Art
[0002] Various pieces of clothing such as bras, T-shirts, and trousers have a stretchable elastic edge portion. These elastic edge portions can expand and contract. For example, the elastic edge portion can be applied to the waistband area of underwear and the side wing area of bras. These elastic edge portions are usually formed by two layers of fabric being superimposed and then sewn or adhered together. Due to the two layers of fabric causing uneven surfaces at the superimposed portion, there are obvious concave and convex layers on the surface, which affects comfort after wearing and can cause harm by rubbing against the skin. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] To overcome the problems existing in the related art, the technical solution of this application aims to provide a piece of clothing.
[0004] The technical solution of this application is to provide a piece of clothing, including a first fabric layer having an inner surface and an outer surface and a second fabric layer having an inner surface and an outer surface.

[0005] In the clothing of this application, the side edges of two fabric layers are spliced by ultrasonic welding, and the two fabric layers are flush without causing concave and convex layers at the splicing portion. A first elastic material layer is covered on the splicing line to ensure that the splicing line will not tear during stretching. The material of the first elastic material layer penetrates into the fabric layer to increase the strength at the splicing line. At the same time, the first elastic material layer is also connected to the inner surface of the first fabric layer, playing a role in connecting the three fabric layers at the splicing line.
[0006] In one or more embodiments, the first elastic material layer is a silicone layer or a thermoplastic elastic material layer.
[0007] In one or more embodiments, the first elastic material layer extends along the direction of the splicing line.
[0008] In one or more embodiments, the first elastic material covers a part of the inner surface of the third fabric layer and a part of the inner surface of the second fabric layer.
[0009] In one or more embodiments, the first elastic material layer covers the entire inner surface of the third fabric layer and a part of the inner surface of the second fabric layer.
[0010] In one or more embodiments, it further includes a second elastic material layer covering part or all of the inner surface of the second fabric layer.
[0011] In one or more embodiments, the second elastic material layer is separated from the inner surface of the first fabric layer.
[0012] In one or more embodiments, all or part of the area of the second elastic material layer is connected to the inner surface of the first fabric layer.

[0025] Next, the technical solutions in some embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in some embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, in this embodiment, there is a piece of clothing 10. The clothing 10 can be a bra, a T-shirt, trousers, etc. In this embodiment, the clothing 10 is taken as an example of trousers for illustration. The trousers are, for example, yoga pants, sweatpants, underwear, and shaping pants, etc. The trousers include a waistband area 101, where the waistband area 101 includes a first fabric layer 11 having an inner surface and an outer surface and a second fabric layer 12 having an inner surface and an outer surface. The first fabric layer 11 is folded once at the pleat 111 to form a third fabric layer 13. The first fabric layer 11 and the third fabric layer 13 are a whole piece of fabric, defined as the first piece of fabric. Of course, the first fabric layer 11 and the third fabric layer 13 can also be two separate pieces of fabric. The second fabric layer 12 is a whole piece of fabric, positioned as the second piece of fabric. Of course, the second fabric layer 12 can also be formed by folding the first piece of fabric once at the pleat 111.
[0028] In this embodiment, the side edges of the third fabric layer 13 and the second fabric layer 12 are connected by ultrasonic welding to form a sewing line 14. Ultrasonic welding, also known as ultrasonic bonding, is a high-tech technology for welding thermoplastic material products, which can completely replace gluing. Its principle is to transmit ultrasonic energy from the upper weldment to the welding area. Due to the large acoustic impedance at the interface of the two weldings, local high temperature melting occurs to fuse the two materials together. In this way, the second fabric layer 12 and the third fabric layer 13 connected by ultrasonic welding are flush and there will be no uneven layering at the splicing.
[0029] In this embodiment, the garment 10 further includes a first elastic material layer 15 covering the splicing line 14 and connected to the inner surface of the first fabric layer 11. The first elastic material layer 15 is a silicone layer or a thermoplastic elastic material layer. First, the first elastic material layer 15 is coated on the splicing line 14, and the first fabric layer 11 is covered on the first elastic material layer 15. The inner surface of the first fabric layer 11, the inner surface of the second fabric layer 12, and the inner surface of the third fabric layer 13 are connected by hot pressing.
[0030] In this embodiment, the first elastic material layer 15 extends along the direction of the splicing line 14. The first elastic material layer 15 completely covers the splicing line 14, and its width can be set according to actual needs. Exemplarily, the part of the first elastic material covering the inner surface of the third fabric layer 13 and the part of the inner surface of the second fabric layer 12, or the first elastic material layer 15 can cover the entire inner surface of the third fabric layer 13 and the part of the inner surface of the second fabric layer 12. In this way, the wider first elastic material layer 15 also plays a reinforcing role.
[0031] In this embodiment, the garment 10 further includes a second elastic material layer 16 covering part or all of the inner surface of the second fabric layer 12. The second elastic material layer 16 can be connected to the first elastic material layer 15 or not. The second elastic material layer 16 is defined to reinforce the second fabric layer 12 and make the second fabric layer 12 have better elastic stretching performance.
[0032] Specifically, the difference between the second elastic material layer 16 and the first elastic material layer 15 is that the second elastic material layer 16 is separated from the inner surface of the first fabric layer 11, or all or part of the area of the second elastic material layer 16 is connected to the inner surface of the first fabric layer 11.
[0033] Exemplarily, as Figure 5 and 6 shown, the second elastic material layer 16 is in the shape of a strip fitting on a partial area of the inner surface of the second fabric layer 12. The second elastic material layer 16 is connected to the inner surface of the first fabric layer 11, and multiple strips are provided to increase the shaping of the garment 10. As Figure 3 shown, the second elastic material layer 16 is in a grid shape fitting on the inner surface of the second fabric layer 12. The second elastic material layer 16 is separated from the inner surface of the first fabric layer 11, making the second fabric layer 12 have better elastic stretching performance. As Figure 4 shown, the second elastic material layer 16 is in a grid shape fitting on the inner surface of the second fabric layer 12. The second elastic material layer 16 is connected to the inner surface of the first fabric layer 11.
[0034] In this embodiment, the second elastic material layer 16 is preferably a silica gel layer, and a thermoplastic elastic material layer can also be selected, such as styrene-based (SBS, SIS, SEBS, SEPS), olefin-based (TP0, TPV), diene-based (TPB, TPI), vinyl chloride-based (TPVC, TCPE), urethane-based (TPU), ester-based (TPEE), amide-based (TPAE), organofluorine-based (TPF), silicone-based, and ethylene-based, etc.
[0035] In this embodiment, the clothing 10 uses ultrasonic welding to join the side edges of two fabric layers. The two fabric layers are flush and there will be no uneven layering at the joint. The first elastic material layer 15 is covered on the seam line 14 to ensure that the seam line 14 will not tear under tension, effectively avoiding the problem of rupture. The material of the first elastic material layer 15 penetrates into the fabric layer to increase the strength at the seam line 14. At the same time, the first elastic material layer 15 also connects to the inner surface of the first fabric layer 11, playing a role in connecting the three fabric layers at the seam line 14. Further, it also enhances the stretching wrapping force of the waistband area 101 of the clothing 10, and it will not deform or become loose after repeated use, always providing a sense of security when worn.
[0036] The embodiments of the present application have been described above. The above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art in the technical field without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The choice of terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles of the embodiments, practical applications, or improvements to the technology in the market, or to enable other ordinary technical personnel in the technical field to understand the disclosed embodiments.
