Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of clothing design technology, specifically relating to clothing design auxiliary devices. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of garment design and production, the application of auxiliary devices is crucial in several key stages, including creative expression, pattern design, and sample making. Currently, designers rely on various auxiliary devices such as drawing tools, mannequins, and pattern-making equipment to realize their designs. For example, they use digital drawing software to create renderings, employ human body scanners to obtain precise anthropometric data, utilize CAD pattern-making systems to generate preliminary paper patterns, and then combine these with manual cutting tools to complete the sample garment production. While the development of these auxiliary devices has significantly improved design efficiency, there are still pressing technical problems to be solved in the core pattern conversion stage—garment pattern making.
[0003] Pattern making is a crucial step in transforming design drawings into productionable patterns. Pattern makers place sample garments or fabrics on pattern paper and trace the outlines to determine the cutting dimensions for each part. However, in current pattern making processes, the lack of reliable fabric securing devices makes the fabric prone to shifting when touched or moved, making it difficult for designers to accurately trace the outlines along the fabric edges with a pencil. Especially when making minor adjustments to details, even slight movements of the fabric edges can cause line deviations, affecting the accuracy of the pattern data, increasing correction costs in subsequent cutting and sewing stages, and even leading to discrepancies between the final product and the design intent.

[0029] Example 1:
[0030] Please see Figures 1-7 As shown, the clothing design auxiliary device includes:
[0031] The board 1 has vertically extending movable grooves on its opposite two sides. A first guide shaft 3 parallel to the table is fixed in one movable groove, and a second guide shaft 10 parallel to the table is fixed in the other movable groove. The table is provided with multiple elastic pressing bands 2. The first end of the multiple elastic pressing bands 2 is connected to a tightening mechanism that can slide along the first guide shaft 3, and the second end is connected to a snap-fit mechanism that can slide along the second guide shaft 10. The elastic pressing bands 2 can be adjusted on the table by means of the structure (guide shaft) at both ends to adapt to the fixing needs of clothing of different sizes or shapes.
[0032] The tightening mechanism includes a slider 4 that slides with the first guide shaft 3 and a winding assembly disposed on the slider 4. The winding assembly forms an adjustable winding connection with the first end of the elastic pressing belt 2. The elastic pressing belt 2 can be tightened or loosened by the winding action to adjust its pressing tension on the clothing, ensuring that the fabric is stably fixed and does not produce excessive stretching deformation.
[0033] The locking mechanism includes a slide 11 that slides with the second guide shaft 10 and a locking component disposed on the slide 11. The locking component is detachably fixedly connected to the second end of the elastic pressing band 2.
[0034] As can be seen from the above, when it is necessary to fix the clothing for pattern making, first place the clothing on the table of pattern making table 1. According to the position where the clothing needs to be fixed, slide the slider 4 of the tightening mechanism and the slide block 11 of the snap-fit mechanism along the vertical moving groove, so that the two move laterally to the target position along the first guide shaft 3 and the second guide shaft 10 respectively. Then, the second end of the elastic pressing band 2 is detachably fixed to the slide block 11 through the locking component of the snap-fit mechanism, and the first end of the elastic pressing band 2 is connected to the winding component of the tightening mechanism. Next, operate the winding component to adjust the tension of the elastic pressing band 2. Through the sliding cooperation of the slider 4 on the first guide shaft 3, the elastic pressing band 2 presses the clothing evenly and fixes it on the table, forming a stable pattern making reference surface, ensuring that the clothing does not deviate when drawing the outline. After the pattern making is completed, loosen the winding component and remove the locking component to quickly remove the elastic pressing band 2, completing one pattern making and fixing process.
[0035] Specifically, regarding the above, please refer to... Figures 3-5 As shown, the locking assembly includes a U-shaped insert 12 fixedly connected to the second end of the elastic pressing band 2. The two arms of the insert 12 are respectively provided with slots, which are arranged opposite to each other and located on the opposite inner side of the two arms. The top surface of the slide block 11 is fixedly provided with a positioning locking chamber 13. The top surface of the positioning locking chamber 13 is provided with two slots. The two ends of the insert 12 are detachably inserted into the two slots through the mating assembly.
[0036] The mating components include a movable groove opened inside the positioning and locking chamber 13. The movable groove extends along the axial direction of the second guide shaft 10 and is connected to two slots at both ends. Two locking blocks 14 are slidably arranged in the movable groove. The opposite ends of the two locking blocks 14 are elastically connected by multiple return springs 15. The end of the locking block 14 away from the return spring 15 is provided with a locking part that matches the locking slot.
[0037] The end face of the striking table 1 near the second guide shaft 10 is provided with a displacement groove that communicates with the moving groove. Each of the two locking blocks 14 is fixedly provided with a pull handle 17 on the side wall near the displacement groove. The positioning locking chamber 13 is provided with a push opening on the side wall near the displacement groove. The push opening communicates with the moving groove. The pull handle 17 is slidably disposed in the push opening.
[0038] As can be seen from the above, when it is necessary to connect and fix the second end of the elastic pressing band 2 to the slide 11, the operator first inserts the U-shaped plug 12 fixed to the second end of the elastic pressing band 2 into the two slots on the top surface of the positioning locking chamber 13. During the insertion process, the two ends of the U-shaped plug 12 will push the locking block 14 in the movable groove of the positioning locking chamber 13 to move to both sides. At this time, the multiple return springs 15 connected to one end of the locking block 14 are compressed. When the U-shaped plug 12 is fully inserted into the slot, so that the slots on its two sides correspond to the locking part on the locking block 14, the return spring 15 releases the elastic force, pushes the locking block 14 to slide, and makes the locking part on the locking block 14 engage in the slot, thereby fixing the U-shaped plug 12 in the positioning locking chamber 13, thus realizing the fixed connection between the second end of the elastic pressing band 2 and the slide 11.
[0039] When the pressing is completed and the elastic pressing band 2 needs to be removed, the operator pulls the handle 17 fixed on the locking block 14 through the displacement groove connected to the moving groove on the end face of the pressing table 1 near the second guide shaft 10. The handle 17 slides in the push port on the side wall of the positioning locking chamber 13 near the displacement groove, causing the locking block 14 to move to both sides against the elastic force of the return spring 15, so that the locking part on the locking block 14 disengages from the slot of the U-shaped insert 12. At this time, the U-shaped insert 12 can be pulled out from the slot of the positioning locking chamber 13, completing the disassembly of the second end of the elastic pressing band 2 from the slide 11.
[0040] Specifically, regarding the above, please refer to... Figure 5 As shown, multiple parallel telescopic rods 16 are fixedly connected between the two locking blocks 14. The extension direction of the telescopic rods 16 is consistent with the extension direction of the return springs 15. Each return spring 15 is coaxially sleeved on the outer periphery of the corresponding telescopic rod 16.
[0041] As can be seen from the above, when the locking block 14 slides under external force, the telescopic rod 16 restricts the radial deformation of the return spring 15, so that it only extends and retracts along its own axis, ensuring that the two locking blocks 14 make linear reciprocating motion in the movable groove, avoiding bending or tilting of the return spring 15 due to uneven force, thereby ensuring that the locking part of the locking block 14 is accurately aligned with the slot of the U-shaped insert 12, and improving the connection stability and operational reliability of the locking assembly.
[0042] Example 2:
[0043] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the winding assembly includes a tension adjustment box 5 fixed to the top surface of the slider 4. A rotating shaft 6 is horizontally rotatable inside the tension adjustment box 5. The first end of the elastic pressing belt 2 is fixedly wound around the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 6. The rotating shaft 6 achieves unidirectional rotation through a drive assembly. The drive assembly is located inside the tension adjustment box 5 and is connected to the rotating shaft 6 for transmission.
[0044] The drive assembly includes a transmission worm gear 7 coaxially fixed to the rotating shaft 6. The transmission worm gear 7 is meshed with a drive worm 8. The drive worm 8 is vertically arranged and its two ends are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the tension regulating box 5 through bearings. The top of the worm extends to the outside of the tension regulating box 5 and is fixed with a knob 9.
[0045] As can be seen from the above, when it is necessary to adjust the tension of the elastic pressing belt 2, the operator turns the knob 9 exposed outside the tension adjustment box 5. The knob 9 drives the vertically set drive worm 8 to rotate around the bearing on the inner wall of the tension adjustment box 5. Since the drive worm 8 meshes with the transmission worm wheel 7, the rotation of the drive worm 8 drives the transmission worm wheel 7 and the rotating shaft 6 to rotate horizontally in sync. This causes the first end of the elastic pressing belt 2 wrapped around the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 6 to be gradually wound and tightened, thereby tightening the elastic pressing belt 2 and applying pressing tension to the clothing. The slider 4 can slide along the first guide shaft 3, and adjust the stretching direction of the pressing belt in conjunction with the winding action to ensure that the tension is evenly transmitted to the surface of the clothing. When the knob 9 is turned in the opposite direction, because the worm gear transmission has a one-way self-locking characteristic, the worm can drive the worm wheel, and the worm wheel cannot drive the worm in the opposite direction. The rotating shaft 6 maintains the current winding state to prevent the elastic pressing belt 2 from loosening and to achieve stable maintenance of the fabric's fixing tension during the pattern making process.
[0046] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
