[0001] This utility model is an adjustable sweatshirt, belonging to the field of clothing technology. Background Technology

[0002] A sweatshirt, also known as a sweater or hoodie, is a common garment typically made of knitted fabric, known for its softness, breathability, and warmth. The traditional sweatshirt consists of a main body and fixed sleeves on both sides, and is often used for casual and athletic occasions.

[0003] Traditional sweatshirts lack flexibility and support, restricting movement during exercise and affecting comfort and performance. This is especially true in sports requiring extensive arm movement, where fixed sleeves can rub against the shoulders, limiting range of motion.

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this study is to design a sweatshirt with an adjustable underarm angle that can be freely adjusted according to user needs. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable hoodie to solve the problems of the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0007] An adjustable sweatshirt includes: a main body, a set of sleeves sewn to both sides of the main body, the sleeves forming an angle with the lower part of the main body, an inner strap installed at the angle, and a first zipper assembly between the sleeves and the main body.

[0008] The first zipper assembly controls the separation of the sleeve and the lower part of the main garment body, exposing the inner band and increasing the maximum angle between the sleeve and the main garment body;

[0009] The first zipper assembly controls the sleeve and the lower part of the main garment to merge, hide the inner strap, and reduce the maximum angle between the sleeve and the main garment.

[0010] As a further improvement, the first zipper assembly includes a first chain strap sewn to the lower edge of the main garment body near the sleeve, a second chain strap sewn to the lower edge of the sleeve facing the main garment body, and a first zipper head slidably mounted on the first chain strap. The separation / merging of the sleeve and the lower part of the main garment body is controlled by the cooperation of the first zipper head, the first chain strap and the second chain strap.

[0011] As a further improvement, the main garment body and the sleeves extend outward from the edge near the first zipper assembly and bend inward, with their ends sewn to the inside to form a covering portion, which covers the first zipper assembly.

[0012] As a further improvement, the inner band is sewn and fixed with a first Velcro closure at its edge, and the sleeve is sewn and fixed with a second Velcro closure on the inner side adjacent to the main garment body. Through the cooperation of the first Velcro closure and the second Velcro closure, the inner band can be detachably installed between the sleeve and the main garment body.

[0013] As a further improvement, the inner band is made of sweat-absorbing fabric.

[0014] As a further improvement, the inner strip is made of mesh fabric.

[0015] As a further improvement, a pocket piece is sewn inside the main garment body on the side facing the sleeve. Except for the side facing the inner strap, the other edges of the pocket piece are sewn and fixed to the main garment body to form a one-way open pocket body, in which the spare inner strap can be placed.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Reference Figure 1-2 As shown, an adjustable sweatshirt includes: a main body 1, a set of sleeves 2 sewn to both sides of the main body 1, the sleeves 2 and the main body 1 are provided at an angle 3 below, an inner strap 4 is installed at the angle 3, and a first zipper assembly 5 is provided between the sleeves 2 and the main body 1.

[0036] The first zipper assembly 5 controls the separation of the sleeve 2 and the lower part of the main garment 1, exposing the inner strap 4 and increasing the angle 3 of the maximum included angle between the sleeve 2 and the main garment 1;

[0037] The first zipper assembly 5 controls the lower part of the sleeve 2 and the main body 1 to merge, hide the inner strap 4, and reduce the angle 3 of the maximum included angle between the sleeve 2 and the main body 1.

[0038] The first zipper assembly 5 is positioned from the front of the shoulder, around the armpit, to the back of the shoulder, and its relatively long length increases the range of motion of the entire shoulder.

[0039] By setting an angle 3 between the main body 1 and the sleeve 2 of the sweatshirt, and installing an inner strap 4 and a first zipper assembly 5, the user can adjust the size of the angle 3 between the sleeve 2 and the main body 1 as needed. Through zipper control, the user can increase or decrease the separation between the sleeve 2 and the main body 1, adjusting the range of motion of the sleeve 2.

[0040] By wrapping the first zipper assembly 5 from the front of the shoulder to the armpit and extending to the back of the shoulder, the range of motion in the shoulder is increased. Compared to the fixed cuff structure of traditional sweatshirts, the zipper assembly provides greater flexibility during movement, reduces friction between the sleeve 2 and the shoulder, and improves freedom of movement and comfort.

[0041] The inner strap 4 ensures the stability of sleeve 2 when it separates from the main garment body 1, preventing over-spreading or unnecessary looseness. This detail further optimizes the wearing experience, ensuring that sleeve 2 will not slip off or become loose when adjusting the angle 3. It aims to address the issues of traditional sweatshirts restricting movement, affecting comfort and performance during exercise, especially in situations where arm movement is limited.

[0042] Advantages compared to existing designs:

[0043] Traditional sweatshirts, with their fixed cuff design, often hinder athletic performance, especially in sports requiring a lot of arm movement, such as running and basketball. This design, with its adjustable angle 3, provides a greater range of shoulder motion, preventing the cuffs from restricting arm flexibility during exercise.

[0044] This design is not only suitable for casual occasions but also allows for flexible adjustments to suit different sports needs, making it suitable for various activities, including but not limited to running, fitness, and outdoor sports. Traditional hoodies, on the other hand, have more fixed designs and lack adaptability during exercise. Through the flexible adjustment of the first zipper component 5, users can adjust the tightness and freedom of movement of the hoodie according to their needs, making it more personalized.

[0045] In this embodiment, the inner strap 4 is installed on the main garment body 1 and the sleeve 2 by sewing.

[0046] As a further improvement, the first zipper assembly 5 includes a first chain strap 51 sewn to the lower edge of the main garment 1 near the sleeve 2, a second chain strap 52 sewn to the lower edge of the sleeve 2 facing the main garment 1, and a first zipper head 53 slidably mounted on the first chain strap 51. The separation / merging of the sleeve 2 and the lower part of the main garment 1 is controlled by the cooperation of the first zipper head 53, the first chain strap 51 and the second chain strap 52.

[0047] As a further improvement, the main garment body 1 and the sleeve 2 extend outward from the edge near the first zipper assembly 5 and bend inward, with their ends sewn to the inner side to form a covering part 6, which covers the first zipper assembly 5.

[0048] The inner strap 4 is sewn together between the main garment body 1 and the sleeve 2, ensuring it will not loosen or slip during use and guaranteeing the stability and durability of the adjustment function. This avoids the risk of the inner strap 4 shifting or falling off due to movement or other external factors, improving the reliability of the sweatshirt during use. At the same time, the sewn-on design of the inner strap 4 ensures a smooth adjustment process, increasing the wearer's sense of control over the sweatshirt.

[0049] By adjusting the sliding zipper pull, users can flexibly change the angle between sleeve 2 and the main garment 1 to achieve ideal comfort and range of motion. The use of a sewn-on zipper strap instead of a traditional loose connection makes the overall structure of the zipper assembly more robust and durable. The design of the zipper assembly makes the adjustment process simpler and more intuitive, allowing users to easily adjust the separation degree between sleeve 2 and the main garment 1 to meet different activity needs.

[0050] As the main garment body 1 and sleeve 2 extend outward and bend inward near the edge of the first zipper assembly 5, their ends are sewn together with the inner side to form a covering part 6, thereby covering the zipper assembly.

[0051] The concealing section 6 effectively hides the zipper assembly, making the sweatshirt look cleaner and simpler. It avoids the abrupt appearance of a directly exposed zipper and improves the overall aesthetics of the design.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] Reference Figure 3-5 As shown, since the inner strap 4 is fixed by sewing in Embodiment 1, the inner strap 4 cannot be disassembled and replaced. Therefore, this embodiment is further optimized based on Embodiment 1, so that the inner strap 4 is installed on the main garment body 1 and the sleeve 2 in a detachable manner.

[0054] Specifically, the inner strap 4 is sewn and fixed with a first Velcro 41 at its edge, and the sleeve 2 is sewn and fixed with a second Velcro 42 on the inner side adjacent to the main garment body 1. Through the cooperation of the first Velcro 41 and the second Velcro 42, the inner strap 4 can be detachably installed between the sleeve 2 and the main garment body 1.

[0055] As a further improvement, the inner band 4 is made of sweat-absorbing fabric.

[0056] As a further improvement, the inner band 4 is a mesh fabric.

[0057] In Embodiment 1, the inner strap 4 is fixed by sewing, making it impossible to remove or replace, which limits the user's personalized needs for wearing experience. This embodiment solves this problem by using Velcro to fix the inner strap 4, allowing it to be removed, washed, or replaced as needed.

[0058] The inner strap 4 uses Velcro fastening, allowing users to easily remove it for washing. This is crucial for maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the garment, especially during exercise or in high-temperature environments. The detachable design also allows the inner strap 4 to be replaced after wear, extending the sweatshirt's lifespan.

[0059] Users can choose different inner strap materials or colors to better suit their individual needs, making the sweatshirt's comfort and functionality more tailored to their personal requirements. The detachable inner strap provides greater flexibility, meeting the needs of different seasons or activities.

[0060] The detachable inner strap 4 can be adjusted according to the user's activity level, improving the comfort of the garment and avoiding localized discomfort that may be caused by fixing the inner strap 4 in place.

[0061] This embodiment further optimizes the material of the inner band 4, using sweat-absorbing fabric and mesh fabric, both of which have significant advantages in terms of functionality and comfort.

[0062] Sweat-wicking fabric generally refers to a type of fabric with excellent moisture-wicking properties, commonly used in sportswear. It is usually made of synthetic fibers (such as polyester and nylon) or natural fibers (such as cotton) blended with other materials, which can quickly absorb sweat from the skin and transfer it to the fabric surface, making it easier for the sweat to evaporate.

[0063] Sweat-wicking fabric quickly absorbs and wicks away sweat from the skin, helping to keep it dry, reducing skin irritation from moisture, and improving comfort. For sports or prolonged wear, sweat-wicking fabric effectively reduces discomfort caused by sweat buildup, prevents skin irritation from moisture, and enhances the overall wearing experience.

[0064] Mesh fabric is a type of fabric with a mesh structure, typically woven from polyester, nylon, or other synthetic fibers. Its surface has numerous small pores, allowing air to circulate and providing excellent breathability.

[0065] The mesh structure of mesh fabric effectively improves the breathability of clothing, promotes air circulation, and allows sweat and moisture to evaporate quickly, preventing excessive heat buildup. Due to its excellent breathability and lightweight nature, mesh fabric provides wearers with a cooler and more comfortable wearing experience, especially suitable for high-temperature environments or during exercise, avoiding a stuffy feeling.

[0066] By designing the inner strap 4 as detachable and incorporating a Velcro installation method, this embodiment not only enhances the practicality of the sweatshirt but also increases the user's personalization options. The use of sweat-wicking fabric and mesh fabric as the materials for the inner strap 4 significantly improves the sweatshirt's comfort, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, providing a better wearing experience, especially during exercise, after exercise, or in hot weather.

[0067] Example 3

[0068] Reference Figure 6 As shown, since the inner tape 4 in Embodiment 2 can be replaced, the extra inner tape 4 can be carried. Therefore, based on Embodiment 2, further improvements are made to enable the storage of the extra inner tape 4.

[0069] Specifically, a pocket piece 7 is sewn inside the main garment body 1 on the side facing the sleeve 2. Except for the side facing the inner strap 4, the other edges of the pocket piece 7 are sewn and fixed to the main garment body 1 to form a one-way open pocket 71. The spare inner strap 4 can be placed in the pocket 71.

[0070] Example 4

[0071] Reference Figure 7-8 As shown, since the above embodiments can only be adjusted once, further adjustments are made to increase the accuracy of the adjustment, so that the armpit opening can be adjusted a second time.

[0072] Specifically, it also includes a second zipper assembly 43 that is sewn and fixed to the outer side of the inner tape 4, and the width of the inner tape 4 is controlled by the second zipper assembly 43.

[0073] As a further improvement, the second zipper assembly 43 includes a third zipper tape 431 sewn to the left side of the middle of the inner tape 4, a fourth zipper tape 432 sewn to the right side of the middle of the inner tape 4, and a second zipper head 433 for sliding control of opening / closing the third zipper tape 431 and the fourth zipper tape 432.

[0074] Previous embodiments may have only allowed for single adjustments, limiting the user's ability to fine-tune the inner strap 4 during wear. To better accommodate different body types and activity levels, this embodiment introduces a second zipper assembly 43, providing more precise secondary adjustment functionality.

[0075] As the wearing environment and individual needs change, a single adjustment may not provide sufficient comfort and flexibility. A second adjustment allows users to fine-tune the opening of the inner band 4 according to their needs, achieving a more comfortable wearing experience.

[0076] For occasions requiring prolonged wear or varying intensities of activity, secondary adjustment helps users adjust the comfort of clothing in different environments to adapt to different amounts of exercise and activity intensities.

[0077] The second zipper assembly 43 provides additional adjustment options, allowing for precise adjustment of the width of the inner strap 4. This enables the wearer to make accurate width adjustments based on individual body type, activity intensity, or temperature, resulting in greater comfort. Users can adjust the tightness of the inner strap 4 according to specific needs in different wearing situations. Especially during vigorous exercise or activity, the adjustment of the inner strap 4 can effectively provide better support, avoiding any feeling of restriction or discomfort from the clothing.

[0078] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
