Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing design technology, and in particular to a vest suitable for billiards. Background Technology
[0002] In billiards, the vest is part of the player's formal attire, worn in conjunction with a long-sleeved shirt, bow tie, dark trousers, and black leather shoes to reflect the etiquette and etiquette of this gentlemanly sport. Billiards places high demands on the comfort and flexibility of clothing. While traditional billiard vests adhere to the elegant traditions of the gentlemanly sport in their design, they have shortcomings in actual performance. The main issue is that the vest is often too short; when a player bends over to hit the ball, extends their arm, or makes a large turn, the back panel is not long enough, making it easy for the shirt underneath to show through at the hem.
[0003] This defect not only ruins the overall aesthetic appeal of the vest, but more importantly, it imposes multiple restrictions on the athlete's movements. When players need to perform difficult shots such as low shots or drop shots, the overly short hem will become tight due to waist stretching, and insufficient fabric allowance under the armpits and back further restricts the range of motion of the shoulder joints. This feeling of restriction directly affects the stability of the hitting posture and the smoothness of power generation. In other words, the existing vest cannot fully meet the movement needs of various parts of the body during billiards, affecting the athlete's performance. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a vest suitable for billiards. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing vests cannot fully meet the activity needs of various parts of the body during billiards, thus affecting the performance of athletes, and to provide a vest suitable for billiards.
[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a vest suitable for billiards, the vest including a front panel and a back panel, a side gusset between the front panel and the back panel, the length of the side gusset being 2.5~4cm; a first lining fabric is provided on the lower inner side of the back panel, the side edge of the first lining fabric is fixedly connected to the back panel, and the width of the first lining fabric is 5~20cm.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, at the side fork position, the front length is less than the rear length; preferably, the front length is 2.5~5cm shorter than the rear length.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a first fork is provided in the middle of the lower end of the rear panel. In actual use, by providing a first fork at the lower end of the rear panel, the space between the front and rear panels can be further increased, making it easier for the user to wear and allowing for more freedom of movement. This design ensures both greater freedom of movement and aesthetic appeal.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, at least one pocket is provided on the outer side of the front panel, and the pocket is located on the upper or lower part of the front panel.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the side fork is provided with a bar-stitching structure, the width of which is 0.4~1cm. In the vest structure, the top of the side fork is the starting point and the stress-bearing part. By bar-stitching it and reinforcing it with high density stitching, tearing is prevented.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, cuffs are provided on both the left and right sides of the upper part of the vest, and a collar is provided at the top of the vest.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the front panel includes a left front panel and a right front panel. The left front panel and the right front panel are respectively provided with buttonholes and buttons. The buttonholes and buttons cooperate with each other. The left front panel and the right front panel of the vest are respectively provided with buttonholes and matching buttons. The vest is closed by fastening the buttons and buttonholes.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the front fork foot at the side fork position is 90±2°.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a second lining fabric is provided on the lower inner side of the front panel, and a third lining fabric is provided on the inner side of the front panel, with the third lining fabric overlapping the second lining fabric.
[0014] In existing billiard vests, the front gusset often exhibits unnatural curling or upward tilting due to insufficient precision in the cutting angle. To address this issue, a second lining is provided on the lower inner side of the front panel, and a third lining is provided on the inner side of the front panel. The third lining overlaps with the second lining, and after sewing and turning inside out, it ensures that the front gusset at the side gusset position forms a 90° angle and remains straight without tilting. In addition, the original body fabric is provided on the lower inner side of the front panel to make the front panel hem more robust.
[0015] A more preferred embodiment of this utility model is that a first nonwoven lining is provided on the inner side fabric of the front panel, and a second nonwoven lining is provided on the second lining fabric.
[0016] As a more preferred embodiment of this utility model, the overlap width between the third lining fabric and the second lining fabric is 1.5~3cm.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] This invention provides a vest suitable for billiards. A side vent is provided between the front and back panels of the vest, with the vent's length limited to 2.5-4cm. A first lining is provided on the lower inner side of the back panel, with its side edge fixedly connected to the back panel. The width of the first lining is 5-20cm. The side vent design adds a sense of layering to the vest, increasing the space between the front and back panels and providing more internal space for the user. This facilitates bending over to hit the ball, extending the arm, or making large body rotations during billiards, ensuring the vest stays in a suitable position and provides good coverage and protection, preventing the inner shirt from showing from the hem. Simultaneously, the back panel structure keeps the vent's fork at 90±2°, preventing it from curling upwards. This design allows the vest to better fit the body during exercise, preventing it from folding outwards, thus improving both wearing comfort and aesthetics. This vest has a simple structure, offering ease of movement, comfort, and meeting the aesthetic requirements of billiards competitions. Attached Figure Description

[0034] Example 1
[0035] This embodiment provides a vest suitable for billiards, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the vest includes a front panel 1 and a back panel 2. A side vent 3 is provided between the front panel 1 and the back panel 2. The length of the side vent 3 is 2.5~4cm. A first lining 21 is provided on the lower inner side of the back panel 2. The side of the first lining 21 is fixedly connected to the back panel 2. The width of the first lining 21 is 5~20cm, wherein the width of the first lining 21 is the first lining 21 along the height direction of the vest.
[0036] In some embodiments, at the side fork position, the length of the front panel 1 is less than the length of the rear panel 2, and the length of the front panel 1 is 2.5~5cm shorter than the length of the rear panel 2, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 4 In this embodiment, the length of the front panel 1 is less than the length of the rear panel 2, and the length of the side fork 3 refers to the length from the beginning of the side fork 3 to the bottom edge of the front panel 1.
[0037] In some embodiments, a first fork is provided in the middle of the lower end of the rear panel 2. In actual use, by providing a first fork at the lower end of the rear panel 2, the space between the front panel 1 and the rear panel 2 can be further increased, which makes it easier for the user to wear the garment and allows for more freedom of movement. This design ensures both greater freedom of movement and aesthetic appeal.
[0038] In some embodiments, at least one pocket is provided on the outside of the front panel 1, and the pocket is located on the upper or lower part of the front panel 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, two pockets are provided on the outside of the front panel 1, and both pockets are located on the lower part of the front panel 1, forming a symmetrical structure.
[0039] In some embodiments, the top of the side fork 3 is provided with a bartending structure, the width of which is 0.4~1cm. In the vest structure, the top of the side fork 3 is the starting point of the side fork 3 and is the stress-bearing part. Bartending is done on it, that is, making a knot. The top of the side fork is sewn several times with a bartending machine at a high density stitch pitch. The high density of the sewing reinforces the stitching and prevents tearing.
[0040] In some embodiments, the front panel 1 includes a left front panel and a right front panel. More specifically, the left front panel and the right front panel are respectively provided with buttonholes and buttons, which cooperate with each other. Buttonholes and matching buttons are respectively provided on the left front panel and the right front panel of the vest. The front panel is fixed and the vest is closed by fastening the buttons and buttonholes.
[0041] In some embodiments, cuffs are provided on both the left and right sides of the upper part of the vest, that is, the cuffs are formed by the back panel 2 and the left placket or the back panel 2 and the right placket. The two cuffs are respectively set on the upper sides of the vest. The top of the vest is provided with a collar, that is, the collar is formed by the back panel 2, the left placket and the right placket.
[0042] In some embodiments, the angle of the back panel slit 22 at the side slit position is 90±2°. During the sewing of the back panel 2 of the vest, a first lining 21 is provided on the lower inner side of the back panel 2. The first lining 21 is the same as the outer fabric of the back panel 2, and the first lining 21 is sewn to the bottom edge of the back panel 2, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, when cutting, a 1cm seam allowance should be reserved at the bottom edge (hem) and both sides (i.e., 1cm more than the actual size). Cut the bottom edge and sides at the last 1cm point into a 45° angle. That is, at the corner where the bottom edge and side edge intersect, measure 1cm from the edge into the seam allowance, and cut off one corner of this small square along the diagonal to form a bevel. Then fold the cut beveled side edge inward to cover the beveled bottom edge. Sew along the bottom edge seam line to sew the turned beveled edge together to form a notch (i.e., the inward folded triangular space). Through the above structure and sewing method, after turning the back side over, it can be ensured that the back slit 22 at the side slit position is 90±2°. Preferably, the back slit 22 is kept at a 90° angle and will not curl up. This design allows the vest to fit the body better when the user is exercising and will not fold outward, thereby improving the wearing experience and aesthetics.
[0043] In some embodiments, a second lining 11 is provided on the lower inner side of the front panel 1, a third lining 12 is provided on the inner side of the front panel 1, a first non-woven interlining is provided on the inner fabric of the front panel 1, a second non-woven interlining is provided on the outer fabric of the second lining 11, and the overlap width between the third lining 12 and the second lining 11 is 1.5~3cm, the overlap width being the width of the overlapping portion of the two linings along the height direction of the vest. During the sewing of the front panel 1 of the vest, as follows... Figure 6As shown, a first non-woven interlining is glued to the inner side of the front panel 1. The first non-woven interlining is a thick fusible interlining, which increases the stiffness and stability of the front panel 1 and prevents the fabric from deforming. A second lining 11 is provided on the lower inner side of the front panel 1. The fabric of the second lining 11 is the same as that of the front panel 1. It is used for binding and reinforcing the edge of the back panel 2. The width of the second lining 11 is 2~6cm. The second non-woven interlining on the second lining 11 is a thin fusible interlining. After cutting a strip of fabric from the front panel 1 as the second lining 11, the second non-woven interlining is glued on. The third lining 12 overlaps the second lining 11. The second lining 11 is sewn to the edge of the front panel 1. The front panel 1 and the back panel 2 are placed face to face and the edges are aligned. The sewing lines of the front panel 1 and the second lining 11 each retain a 1cm stop. At the bottom end of the side seam, the bottom edge is folded back for a 1cm stop. The sewing lines of the front panel 1 and the second lining 11 retain a 1cm stop. The fabric is sandwiched between the side seam and the bottom edge, and a 1cm stop is retained. Through the above structure and sewing method, after turning it inside out, it can be ensured that the front fork leg 13 at the side fork position is at a 90° angle and is straight and will not curl up. In addition, the original fabric is set on the lower inner side of the front panel 1 to make the front panel 1 hem more sturdy.
[0044] In some embodiments, the collar points of the billiards vest are adjusted upwards compared to those of a regular vest, the pocket openings of the billiards vest are larger than those of a regular vest, and the pocket fabric of the billiards vest is shorter than that of a regular vest. In this embodiment, the billiards vest, compared to a regular vest, has a 3.5cm longer back center length, a 1cm longer front length, a 2cm larger chest circumference and waist circumference, a 3cm larger hem circumference, a 2.7cm wider shoulder, a 2cm wider pocket opening, and a 1cm deeper armhole.
[0045] In some embodiments, compared to a regular vest, the front hem of the vest suitable for billiards is increased by 1-2 cm. When a billiards player sits down to hit the ball or leans forward, the front hem will be subjected to greater tension. In this embodiment, the front hem of the vest is increased by 1-2 cm. By limiting the above parameters, increasing the front hem can effectively prevent the front hem from being pulled up and avoiding embarrassing situations such as exposing the waist or shirt. This ensures that the hem of the vest always stays in the right position, providing good coverage and protection, while also making the overall look more complete and coordinated.
[0046] In addition, near the side seam of the front hem, a 0.5-1cm inward adjustment is made during sewing to create a small, curved pleat. This adjustment allows the front hem to better conform to the body's curves and movement posture, creating a natural and smooth hem shape. It also reduces instability caused by the swinging of the front hem during movement, improving comfort and the garment's overall refinement.
[0047] In some embodiments, compared to a regular vest, the back hem of the billiards vest 2 is increased by 2-3 cm. Considering the backward leaning motion of the athlete's body during the shot and the inertial motion when standing up after the shot, the back hem needs more room to move and looseness to accommodate these dynamic changes. In this embodiment, the back hem of the back panel 2 is increased by 2-3 cm. Increasing the back hem not only makes the vest looser and more comfortable at the back hem, preventing tightness due to movement, but also makes the shape of the back hem more natural and smooth, avoiding problems such as deformation and curling due to excessive tension, thus improving the wearing quality and aesthetics of the garment.
[0048] Example 2
[0049] This embodiment provides a vest suitable for billiards, such as... Figure 7 As shown, similar to the vest in Example 1, the difference is that at the side slit position, the length of the front panel 1 is the same as the length of the rear panel 2.
[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
