Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing technology, and in particular to a sweater. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, sweaters on the market typically use a ribbed knitting technique to create ribbed edges at the cuffs. Ribbed knitting, due to its good elasticity and stretch, is widely used in areas such as cuffs, hems, and necklines. However, when the sweater is thin, the yarn used is finer, resulting in a thinner ribbed knit. After prolonged use, areas that are frequently stretched, such as the cuffs, will deform, causing the sweater to loosen and reducing its warmth and aesthetic appeal. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a sweater that is not easily deformed at the cuffs.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the sweater proposed in this utility model includes:

[0005] The garment consists of a body, sleeves on both sides of the body, and wide sleeves. Each sleeve has a cuff elastic band that is positioned close to the cuff and can be detachably connected to the sleeve. A support protrusion is knitted at the edge of the cuff and is located around the cuff.

[0006] In one embodiment, the support protrusions are knitted into the edges of the neckline and the hem of the garment.

[0007] In one embodiment, the sleeve is provided with a second button, and there are multiple second buttons arranged at intervals along the circumference of the sleeve. The cuff tightening band is provided with a second buttonhole, and there are multiple second buttonholes, which are arranged one-to-one with the multiple second buttons. The second buttons and the second buttonholes can be fastened to each other.

[0008] In one embodiment, the cuff tightening band includes an elastic band and a fabric cover fitted onto the elastic band, with the second buttonhole located on the fabric cover.

[0009] In one embodiment, the cover is made of wool fabric, and the second buttonhole is knitted into the cover.

[0010] In one embodiment, the stretched length of the elastic band and the extended length of the fabric cover are both greater than the circumference of the cuff of the sleeve, and the natural length of the elastic band is less than the circumference of the cuff of the sleeve.

[0011] In one embodiment, the fabric cover includes an elastic sleeve segment and mounting segments disposed on both sides of the elastic sleeve segment, with the elastic band disposed within the elastic sleeve segment. The second fastening hole is formed in the mounting segment.

[0012] In one embodiment, the second buttonhole is formed on the side wall of the cover near the sleeve.

[0013] In one embodiment, the cuff elastic band is made of non-elastic fabric, and the length of the cuff elastic band is less than the circumference of the cuff of the sleeve.

[0014] In one embodiment, the garment body includes two plackets on the front of the garment body, one of the plackets having a plurality of third buttons arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the plackets, and the other placket having a plurality of third buttonholes, each corresponding to one of the plurality of third buttons.

[0015] In this invention, the sleeves feature a wide design, providing ample space between the sleeves and the arms for layering clothing during winter to ensure effective warmth. The cuffs are secured with elastic bands, facilitating work and other activities. These bands also help maintain the cuff's shape, preventing frequent stretching and reducing the likelihood of deformation. Furthermore, the support protrusions are a three-dimensional knitted structure at the cuff edge, thicker than the wool fabric at the cuff, providing high resilience and limiting cuff deformation. This helps maintain the cuff's shape over extended use, further reducing the probability of deformation and effectively preserving the sweater's warmth and aesthetic appeal.

[0026] Currently, sweaters on the market typically use a ribbed knitting technique to create ribbed edges at the cuffs. Ribbed knitting, due to its good elasticity and stretch, is widely used in areas such as cuffs, hems, and necklines. However, when the sweater is thin, the yarn used is finer, resulting in a thinner ribbed knit. After prolonged use, areas that are frequently stretched, such as the cuffs, will deform, causing the sweater to loosen and reducing its warmth and aesthetic appeal.

[0027] There are products on the market that use comb-up crease technology and nylon ropes to keep the ribbed fabric in its original shape after stretching. However, with prolonged wear, the ribbed fabric will still deform, resulting in an unsightly appearance.

[0028] This utility model proposes a sweater.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the sweater includes:

[0030] The garment body 100 and sleeves 200 are provided on both sides of the garment body 100. The sleeves 200 are wide sleeves. The sleeves 200 are provided with cuff tightening straps 21. The cuff tightening straps 21 are located near the cuffs of the sleeves 200 and can be detachably connected to the sleeves 200. Supporting protrusions 24 are knitted at the edge of the cuffs of the sleeves 200 and are arranged around the cuffs of the sleeves 200.

[0031] In this invention, the sleeve 200 features a wide sleeve design, providing ample space between the sleeve and the arm for layering clothing during winter to ensure effective warmth. The cuff is secured with a cuff tightening strap 21, facilitating work and other activities. The cuff tightening strap 21 also helps maintain the cuff's shape, preventing frequent stretching and reducing the probability of cuff deformation. Furthermore, the support protrusion 24 is a three-dimensional knitted structure at the cuff edge, with a thickness greater than the wool fabric at the cuff, providing high resilience and limiting deformation at the cuff. This helps maintain the cuff's shape over extended use, further reducing the probability of cuff deformation and effectively preserving the sweater's warmth and aesthetic appeal.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, support protrusions 24 are knitted into the edges of the neckline and hem of the garment body 100. This limits deformation at the neckline and hem of the garment body 100, reducing the probability of deformation. Furthermore, cuff tightening straps may also be provided at the collar, hem, and placket of the garment body. In other embodiments, the support protrusions 24 may not be provided at the edges of the neckline and hem of the garment body 100.

[0033] In one embodiment, the sleeve 200 is provided with a plurality of second buttons 22, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the sleeve 200. The cuff tightening strap 21 is provided with a plurality of second buttonholes, which are corresponding one-to-one with the plurality of second buttons 22, and the second buttons 22 and the second buttonholes can be fastened together. Through the fastening structure of the second buttons 22 and the second buttonholes, the cuff tightening strap 21 can be fixed to the sleeve 200, preventing it from slipping off the sleeve 200 during activity or when the user is not wearing a sweater, thus preventing loss. In other embodiments, the sleeve 200 and the cuff tightening strap 21 can also be fixed by sewing.

[0034] In one embodiment, the cuff tightening band 21 includes an elastic band and a fabric cover 23 fitted over the elastic band, with a second fastening hole provided in the fabric cover 23. The fabric cover 23 helps to improve the appearance of the cuff tightening band 21 and protects the elastic band. In other embodiments, it may only have an elastic band. In another embodiment, the cuff tightening band 21 is made of inelastic fabric, and the length of the cuff tightening band 21 is less than the circumference of the cuff of the sleeve 200.

[0035] In one embodiment, the cover 23 is made of wool fabric, which helps to create visual consistency with the sweater and enhance its appearance. Sweaters with button closures typically use chalk positioning and machine cutting to achieve the opening and closing of the buttonholes, which suffers from problems such as inaccurate buttonhole positioning, rough edges leading to skipped stitches, and inconsistent buttonhole size. Knitting the second buttonhole onto the cover 23 helps ensure a natural shape and accurate position for the second buttonhole on the cover 23, and the second buttonhole has greater elasticity, allowing for a more secure fastening between the second buttonhole and the second button 22, reducing the probability of defects such as pilling and unevenness at the second buttonhole. In other embodiments, the cover 23 can also be made of cotton, linen, acrylic, silk, or other fabrics.

[0036] In one embodiment, the stretched length of the elastic band and the extended length of the fabric cover 23 are both greater than the circumference of the cuff of the sleeve 200, while the natural length of the elastic band is less than the circumference of the cuff of the sleeve 200. That is, the elasticity of the elastic band allows the cuff of the sleeve 200 to be tightened. It should be noted that after the cuff tightening band 21 is removed from the sleeve 200, it can be used as a hair tie to prevent loss. In other embodiments, the stretched length of the elastic band and the extended length of the fabric cover 23 may be less than or equal to the circumference of the cuff of the sleeve 200.

[0037] In one embodiment, the fabric cover 23 includes an elastic sleeve 231 and mounting sections 232 disposed on both sides of the elastic sleeve 231, with an elastic band disposed within the elastic sleeve 231. A second buttonhole is formed in the mounting section 232. That is, the second button 22 and the second buttonhole secure both sides of the elastic band to the sleeve 200, making the cuff tightening strap 21 more firmly attached to the sleeve 200. In other embodiments, the second buttonhole is formed in the side wall of the fabric cover 23 near the sleeve 200.

[0038] In one embodiment, the garment body 100 includes two plackets 11 on the front of the garment body 100. One placket 11 has a plurality of third buttons 12 spaced apart along the extension direction of the placket 11, and the other placket 11 has a plurality of third buttonholes, each corresponding to one of the third buttons 12. Further, the third buttonholes are knitted into the placket 11 to provide better elasticity and a more secure fastening with the third buttons 12. It should be noted that support protrusions 24 are provided at the edges of the placket 11, and these support protrusions 24 are knitted into the garment to prevent deformation at the edges of the placket 11. Further, support protrusions 24 are also provided at the edges of both the second and third buttonholes. In other embodiments, the plackets 11 may not be provided.

[0039] It should be noted that the sweater in this invention is formed using a computerized flat knitting machine, and through a slanted combing process of passing one needle and knitting one turn, the supporting protrusions 24 are cyclically knitted to form a rounded edge three-dimensional effect, making the fabric more beautiful, delicate, and with a strong three-dimensional feel. The supporting protrusions 24 woven in this way have a beautiful, simple, and elegant appearance with a good three-dimensional effect; excellent resilience, comfortable to wear, and can effectively maintain the shape stability of the cuffs, collar, and hem; it can also improve efficiency and quality, reduce the time spent manually matching stretchers or nylon, help reduce material waste, strengthen quality control, and reduce the defect rate such as color difference in the finished garment.

[0040] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
