Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to an adjustable size garment. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing is an indispensable item in people's daily lives, especially tops. Currently, the sizes of tops on the market are fixed, and consumers can only judge the size of clothes to buy based on the size chart and past experience. However, when the wearer gains weight or changes size, or when teenagers whose height changes rapidly, their body size changes and the clothes no longer fit. In this case, ordinary clothes can no longer be used. In addition, when buying clothes, people can generally only choose from a fixed size chart, such as S, M, and L. People can only choose one. When the wearer's body size is too narrow when choosing an S size, or too wide when choosing an M size, it will cause inconvenience to the wearer.

[0003] This utility model was developed precisely because of the aforementioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an adjustable size garment.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] An adjustable-size garment includes a main body, sleeves connected to both sides of the main body, and a collar located at the top center of the main body. The main body has two symmetrically arranged elongated first folding sections. The first folding sections extend upward from the lower front end of the main body, around the shoulders, and to the lower rear end of the main body. The two first folding sections divide the main body into a central section connected to the collar and two side sections connected to the sleeves. Each first folding section of the main body is formed by stacking a first inner fold and a first outer fold. The central part of the first inner fold is connected to a first inner connecting piece. One end of the first inner connecting piece is connected to the first inner fold, and the free end of the first inner connecting piece has a first detachable connection structure with the inner side wall of the central section of the garment. The central part of the first outer fold is connected to a first outer connecting piece. One end of the first outer connecting piece is connected to the first outer fold, and the free end of the first outer connecting piece has a second detachable connection structure with the outer side wall of the side section of the garment.

[0007] As described above, the first detachable connection structure of the adjustable-size garment is Velcro, and the second detachable connection structure is Velcro.

[0008] As described above, the adjustable-size garment includes a first detachable connection structure comprising a hook and loop fastener surface at the free end of the first inner connecting piece and a loop and loop fastener surface on the inner sidewall of the middle part of the garment, and a second detachable connection structure comprising a hook and loop fastener surface at the free end of the first outer connecting piece and a loop and loop fastener surface on the outer sidewall of the side part of the garment.

[0009] In the adjustable-size garment described above, the width of the hook and loop fastener in the left-right direction is greater than the width of the hook and loop fastener in the left-right direction.

[0010] As described above, in the adjustable-size garment, the first outer fold is an integral structure connected to the middle and side of the garment, and the left and right edges of the first inner fold are respectively connected to the middle and side of the garment, so that the first inner fold and the first outer fold are stacked.

[0011] As described above, the adjustable-size garment has a second folding area axially arranged around the middle of the sleeve. This second folding area divides the sleeve into an upper arm portion closer to the main body of the garment and a lower arm portion further away from the main body. The second folding area of ​​the sleeve is formed by stacking a second inner fold and a second outer fold. A second inner connecting piece is connected to the middle of the second inner fold. One end of the second inner connecting piece is connected to the second inner fold, and a third detachable connection structure is provided between the free end of the second inner connecting piece and the inner sidewall of the upper arm portion. A second outer connecting piece is connected to the middle of the second outer fold. One end of the second outer connecting piece is connected to the second outer fold, and a fourth detachable connection structure is provided between the free end of the second outer connecting piece and the outer sidewall of the lower arm portion.

[0012] As described above, the third detachable connection structure of the adjustable-size garment is Velcro, and the fourth detachable connection structure is Velcro.

[0013] As described above, the adjustable-size garment includes a third detachable connection structure comprising a hook and loop fastener at the free end of the second inner connecting piece and a loop and loop fastener on the inner sidewall of the upper arm; and a fourth detachable connection structure comprising a hook and loop fastener at the free end of the second outer connecting piece and a loop and loop fastener on the outer sidewall of the lower arm.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. The adjustable size garment of this utility model has a first folding area between the sleeve and the collar, which is composed of two overlapping folds. The two ends of the two folds are connected to the middle and the side of the garment, respectively. Furthermore, the middle of each fold is connected to a connecting piece. The two connecting pieces are connected to the middle and the side of the garment through a detachable connection structure. Through the detachable connection structure, the folds can be pulled to fold or open, so that the side of the garment moves closer to or further away from the middle of the garment. This allows the shoulder of the garment to be shortened or slightly shortened, or the shoulder of the garment to be widened or slightly widened, thereby achieving a slight reduction in the size of the garment. This allows for slight adjustment of the shoulder size when the wearer's body size changes, or when the size selected by the consumer deviates slightly from their body size, the garment size can also be adjusted to ensure a proper fit.

[0016] 2. The adjustable size garment of this utility model can also be equipped with an adjustment structure similar to the above structure at the sleeve to adjust the length of the sleeve, thereby making it more applicable. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The orientations described in the utility model specification, such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "back," are based on the orientations in the accompanying drawings and are intended to facilitate the description of the relationships between the various components. They do not indicate the unique or absolute positional relationships between the various components, but are merely one embodiment of the utility model and are not a limitation on its implementation.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] This embodiment provides an adjustable-size garment, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this type of clothing includes a main body 1, sleeves 2 connected to both sides of the main body 1, and a collar 3 located at the top center of the main body 1. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the garment body 1 has two symmetrically arranged elongated first folding areas 11. Each first folding area 11 extends upwards from the lower front end of the garment body 1, around the shoulders, and to the lower rear end. The two first folding areas 11 divide the garment body 1 into a central section 12 connected to the collar 3 and two side sections 13 connected to the sleeves 2. Each first folding area 11 of the garment body 1 is formed by stacking a first inner fold 111 and a first outer fold 112. The first inner fold... A first inner connecting piece 113 is connected to the middle of piece 111. One end of the first inner connecting piece 113 is connected to the first inner flap 111, and a first detachable connection structure 14 is provided between the free end of the first inner connecting piece 113 and the inner side wall of the middle part 12 of the garment. A first outer connecting piece 114 is connected to the middle of the first outer flap 112. One end of the first outer connecting piece 114 is connected to the first outer flap 112, and a second detachable connection structure 15 is provided between the free end of the first outer connecting piece 114 and the outer side wall of the side part 13 of the garment. The structural principle is as follows. Figure 4 As shown, through the first detachable connecting structure 14 and the second detachable connecting structure 15, the free ends of the first inner connecting piece 113 and the first outer connecting piece 114 can be connected to the inner side wall of the middle part 12 of the garment and the outer side wall of the side part 13 of the garment, respectively. This allows the middle part of the first inner fold piece 111 to be pulled towards the middle part 12 of the garment, and the middle part of the first outer fold piece 112 to be pulled towards the side part 13 of the garment. This causes the first inner fold piece 111 and the first outer fold piece 112 to be folded up, so that the side part 13 of the garment moves closer to the middle part 12 of the garment. This allows the shoulder area of ​​the garment to be shortened, or slightly shortened, thus achieving a slight reduction in the size of the garment. Of course, by opening the first detachable connecting structure 14 and the second detachable connecting structure 15, the size of the garment can also be slightly increased.

[0027] Preferably, in this embodiment, both the first detachable connecting structure 14 and the second detachable connecting structure 15 use Velcro as the connection method. This design is more flexible and easier to operate in practical applications. Velcro consists of tiny hook and loop surfaces. When the two come into contact and a slight pressure is applied, they can be firmly bonded together. When separation is needed, they can be easily pulled apart without the use of additional tools. This method allows the first inner connecting piece 113 to be detachably connected to the inner wall of the middle part 12 of the garment, and the free end of the first outer connecting piece 114 to be detachably connected to the outer wall of the side part 13 of the garment. Alternatively, the first detachable connecting structure 14 and the second detachable connecting structure 15 can also use buttons as the connection method. That is, one fastener of the button is set at the free end of the first outer connecting piece 114, and one snap fastener of the button is set at the outer wall of the side part 13 of the garment. Similarly, one fastener of the button is set at the first inner connecting piece 113, and one snap fastener of the button is set at the inner wall of the middle part 12 of the garment. Alternatively, the first detachable connection structure 14 and the second detachable connection structure 15 can also adopt connection methods such as hooks and loops or zippers that can detachably connect two objects.

[0028] The principle is as follows Figure 4 As shown, the first folded area 11 of the garment body 1 is formed by layering a first inner fold 111 and a first outer fold 112. This design provides a basis for size adjustment by creating an adjustable "pleated area" in the main part of the garment. By connecting or releasing the first detachable connecting structure 14 and the second detachable connecting structure 15, that is, by tearing or sticking the Velcro, or adjusting the position of the Velcro, the middle of the first inner fold 111 moves towards the middle 12 of the garment and tightens or loosens, while the middle of the first outer fold 112 moves towards the side 13 of the garment and tightens or loosens, thereby opening or folding the first inner fold 111 and the first outer fold 112. When the first inner fold 111 and the first outer fold 112 are tightened, the shoulder position is reduced, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the overall size, suitable for smaller wearers or when a more fitted effect is needed. Conversely, when the first inner fold 111 and the first outer fold 112 are loosened, the original size is restored or the looseness is increased.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, the first detachable connection structure 14 includes a hook and loop fastener surface at the free end of the first inner connecting piece 113 and a loop and loop fastener surface on the inner side wall of the garment middle section 12. The second detachable connection structure 15 includes a hook and loop fastener surface at the free end of the first outer connecting piece 114 and a loop and loop fastener surface on the outer side wall of the garment side section 13. This makes the inner side of the garment middle section 12 that can contact the human body a smoother and softer surface, and the outer side of the garment side section 13 that can be contacted by the human body is also a smoother and softer surface, improving the wearer's comfort.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the width of the hook and loop fastener in the left and right directions is greater than the width of the hook and loop fastener in the left and right directions. This facilitates the free end of the first inner connecting piece 113 to connect to different positions on the inner sidewall of the middle part 12 of the garment, and facilitates the free end of the first outer connecting piece 114 to connect to different positions on the outer sidewall of the side part 13 of the garment, thereby adjusting the extent to which the side part 13 of the garment moves closer to the middle part 12 of the garment and improving the adjustable range.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate production, improve manufacturing efficiency, and enhance the comfort of wearing clothing, the first outer fold 112, the middle part 12 of the garment, and the side part 13 of the garment are connected as an integral structure. The left and right edges of the first inner fold 111 are respectively connected to the middle part 12 of the garment and the side part 13 of the garment, so that the first inner fold 111 and the first outer fold 112 are stacked.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the sleeve 2 has a second folding area 21 arranged axially around its middle. The second folding area 21 divides the sleeve 2 into an upper arm portion 22 near the main body 1 and a lower arm portion 23 away from the main body 1. The second folding area 21 of the sleeve 2 is formed by stacking a second inner fold 211 and a second outer fold 212. The second inner fold 211 is connected to a second inner connecting piece 213 in the middle. One end of the second inner connecting piece 213 is connected to the second inner fold 211, and a third detachable connection structure 24 is provided between the free end of the second inner connecting piece 213 and the inner side wall of the middle part 12 of the garment. The second outer fold 212 is connected to a second outer connecting piece 214 in the middle. One end of the second outer connecting piece 214 is connected to the second outer fold 212, and a fourth detachable connection structure 25 is provided between the free end of the second outer connecting piece 214 and the outer side wall of the side part 13 of the garment. Similarly, a second folding area 21, similar in structure to the first folding area 11, is provided in the middle of the sleeve 2. When the length of the sleeve 2 needs to be adjusted, the free ends of the second inner connecting piece 213 and the second outer connecting piece 214 can be connected to the inner wall of the upper arm 22 and the outer wall of the lower arm 23, respectively, through the third detachable connecting structure 24 and the fourth detachable connecting structure 25. This allows the middle part of the second inner fold piece 211 to be moved to the upper arm 22, while the middle part of the second outer fold piece 212 is moved to the lower arm 23. This causes the second inner fold piece 211 and the second outer fold piece 212 to be folded together, so that the lower arm 23 moves closer to the upper arm 22, thereby allowing the sleeve length to be shortened or slightly shortened, enabling a small adjustment of the sleeve size.

[0033] Preferably, the third detachable connection structure 24 and the fourth detachable connection structure 25 adopt the same structure as the first detachable connection structure 14 and the second detachable connection structure 15, and all of them can use Velcro.

[0034] Preferably, to improve comfort, the third detachable connection structure 24 includes a hook and loop fastener surface at the free end of the second inner connecting piece 213 and a loop and loop fastener surface on the inner side wall of the upper arm portion 22, and the fourth detachable connection structure 25 includes a hook and loop fastener surface at the free end of the second outer connecting piece 214 and a loop and loop fastener surface on the outer side wall of the lower arm portion 23.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] In addition, as a further improvement plan, such as Figure 6 As shown, an adjustable-size garment differs from Embodiment 1 in that the first detachable connecting structure 14 is not located between the free end of the first inner connecting piece 113 and the inner sidewall of the middle part 12 of the garment. Instead, the first detachable connecting structure 14 is located between the free ends of the first inner connecting pieces 113 of the left and right first folding areas 11. That is, the first inner connecting piece 113 located in the left first folding area 11 is provided with a Velcro surface, while the first inner connecting piece 113 located in the right first folding area 11 is provided with a Velcro hook surface, thereby enabling the first inner connecting pieces 113 of the left and right first folding areas 11 to be fixed and their connection positions adjusted by Velcro connection.

[0037] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model, and common knowledge regarding specific structures and characteristics is not elaborated upon here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. These modifications will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed in this application shall be determined by the content of its claims, and the specific embodiments described in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
