Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing design technology, and in particular to a cuff structure and top suitable for billiards. Background Technology

[0002] The sleeve consists of the sleeve body and the cuff. One end of the sleeve body connects to the body of the garment, and the other end connects to the cuff, which is located near the wrist. Cuff designs are diverse; a loop-shaped cuff can wrap around the wrist, serving a decorative, warm, and comfortable function in clothing design.

[0003] Billiards, as a popular indoor sport, places high demands on the comfort and flexibility of clothing. Traditional billiard shirts are designed around the collar, shoulder slope, armhole, sleeve bottom, sleeve width, and elbow, but not the cuffs. Existing shirt cuff designs are usually straight or slightly tapered. This design reveals the following problems in actual play: In billiards, the arm needs to frequently extend, pull back, and rotate. Existing cuff designs cannot fully meet the movement needs of the arm during billiards, easily causing the wearer to feel restricted and uncomfortable, leading to decreased stability in cueing and even affecting performance.

[0004] Therefore, a new cuff structure needs to be designed specifically for billiards. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that the existing cuff styles are straight or slightly tapered, which cannot fully meet the needs of arm movement during billiards and easily cause the wearer to feel restricted and uncomfortable during exercise. This utility model provides a cuff structure and top suitable for billiards.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a cuff structure suitable for billiards, comprising a sleeve piece, the sleeve piece comprising a first side fabric segment, an upper fabric segment, a second side fabric segment, and a lower fabric segment connected adjacent to each other, the upper fabric segment being connected to the sleeve body, the lower fabric segment being disposed on the side away from the sleeve body, the length of the upper fabric segment being greater than the length of the lower fabric segment, the first side fabric segment and the second side fabric segment being gathered together in opposite directions, so that the annulus formed by the cuff has a V-shaped opening.

[0007] In the technical solution of this utility model, the sleeve includes a first side fabric segment, an upper fabric segment, a second side fabric segment, and a lower fabric segment connected adjacent to each other. The upper fabric segment is connected to the sleeve body, and the lower fabric segment is located on the side away from the sleeve body. The length of the upper fabric segment is greater than the length of the lower fabric segment, so the upper dimension of the cuff is larger than the lower dimension, and the ring formed by the cuff has a V-shaped opening. Existing cuffs usually adopt a right-angle or straight edge design, which can easily cause friction or pressure when the arm moves. In the cuff design of billiard shirts, the V-shaped opening can reduce the mutual interference of the bottom corners of the cuff body after overlapping, reduce movement restriction, and significantly improve the comfort and functionality of movement.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, the cuff structure of this utility model conforms to the physiological structure of the human wrist, which facilitates the flexible rotation of the wrist in actions such as hitting a ball. It can effectively improve the freedom of movement, reduce friction interference, prevent the shirt cuff from slipping down, improve the flexibility and comfort of movement, and take into account the aesthetics.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the connection points between the lower fabric segment and the first side fabric segment, and between the lower fabric segment and the second side fabric segment, are provided with chamfers or rounded edges. By adopting the above technical solution, with chamfers or rounded edges at the connections between the lower fabric segment and the first side fabric segment, and between the lower fabric segment and the second side fabric segment, when the first and second side fabric segments are gathered in opposite directions, a V-shaped opening is formed on the ring-shaped cuff. Arm movements in billiards (such as resting, striking, and striking) involve multiple angle changes. The optimized structure of the chamfered or rounded lower end of the cuff avoids hard contact between the right-angled edge and the table or wrist, better conforming to wrist dynamics and reducing unnecessary friction interference. Furthermore, compared to traditional right-angled cuffs, the chamfered / rounded design has a more streamlined aesthetic, conforming to the minimalist style of modern sportswear while maintaining a professional look.

[0010] When chamfers are provided at the connection points between the lower fabric segment and the first side fabric segment, and at the connection points between the lower fabric segment and the second side fabric segment, the chamfer angle is 30°~45° to create a smooth transition at the edge. This is suitable for professional players who need precise cue control and prevents the cuff from scraping the table surface when making low shots. In addition, the chamfers on both sides should be as similar as possible to maintain an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0011] When the lower fabric segment is connected to the first side fabric segment and the lower fabric segment is connected to the second side fabric segment, the diameter of the rounded corner is 5~10mm, and the rounded corners on both sides should be as similar as possible to enhance comfort and maintain aesthetics.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the connection between the lower fabric segment and the first side fabric segment, and the connection between the lower fabric segment and the second side fabric segment, are both provided with rounded edges.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper fabric segment is a convex first arc, and the lower fabric segment is a concave second arc, the radius of curvature of the second arc being smaller than that of the first arc. Through the above technical solution, the convex upper fabric segment, specifically a slightly convex arc, matches the elbow curvature; the concave lower fabric segment, specifically a significantly concave arc, better conforms to the wrist joint. The dual-curvature design provides wrist rotation freedom and sufficient space to prevent wrist constriction.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first side fabric segment and the second side fabric segment are gathered together in opposite directions, and the first side fabric segment overlaps the second side fabric segment, so that the sleeve piece forms a ring, and connecting components are provided on the first side fabric segment and the second side fabric segment.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first side fabric segment, the upper fabric segment, the second side fabric segment, and the lower fabric segment are integrally woven into a structure.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the sleeve piece is made of double-layered fabric. Specifically, the sleeve piece includes a fabric layer and a lining layer, wherein the lining layer is a non-woven fabric lining layer, or the sleeve piece includes a first fabric layer and a second fabric layer, wherein the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer may be made of the same or different fabrics.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the sleeve height of the cuff is 6~10cm, where the sleeve height refers to the maximum width between the upper and lower fabric sections. The sleeve height dimension is in the range of 6 cm to 10 cm. In different cuff applications, the specific size is determined according to different tops and requirements.

[0018] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a top, including a cuff, wherein the cuff is the cuff described above.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper garment is a shirt.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] 1. This utility model provides a cuff structure suitable for billiards. The sleeve includes a first side fabric segment, an upper fabric segment, a second side fabric segment, and a lower fabric segment connected adjacent to each other. The upper part of the cuff structure is larger than the lower part, and the ring formed by the cuff has a V-shaped opening. The V-shaped opening can reduce the mutual interference between the bottom edges and corners of the cuff body after overlapping, reduce movement restriction, and significantly improve movement comfort and functionality.

[0022] 2. The cuff structure provided by this utility model conforms to the physiological structure of the human wrist, which facilitates the flexible rotation of the wrist during actions such as hitting a ball. It can effectively improve the freedom of movement, reduce friction interference, prevent the shirt cuff from slipping down, improve the flexibility and comfort of movement, and take into account the aesthetics.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] This embodiment provides a cuff structure suitable for billiards, such as... Figure 1As shown, the sleeve includes a sleeve piece 1, which includes a first side fabric segment 11, an upper fabric segment 12, a second side fabric segment 13, and a lower fabric segment 14 connected adjacent to each other. The upper fabric segment 12 is connected to the sleeve body 3, and the lower fabric segment 14 is located on the side away from the sleeve body 3. The length of the upper fabric segment 12 is greater than the length of the lower fabric segment 14. The first side fabric segment 11 and the second side fabric segment 13 are gathered together in opposite directions, so that the ring formed by the cuff has a V-shaped opening.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, sleeve piece 1 is a long strip of fabric. Sleeve piece 1 is made of a long strip of fabric. The first side fabric segment 11 is connected to the upper fabric segment 12, the upper fabric segment 12 is connected to the second side fabric segment 13, the second side fabric segment 13 is connected to the lower fabric segment 14, and the lower fabric segment 14 is connected to the first side fabric segment 11. The first side fabric segment 11, the upper fabric segment 12, the second side fabric segment 13, and the lower fabric segment 14 are a single piece of woven fabric. Specifically, the first side fabric segment 11, the upper fabric segment 12, the second side fabric segment 13, and the lower fabric segment 14 are made using a seamless woven process, and are a single piece of fabric.

[0037] In some embodiments, the upper fabric segment 12 is a convex first arc, and the lower fabric segment 14 is a concave second arc, the radius of curvature of the second arc being smaller than that of the first arc. Through the above technical solution, the upper fabric segment 12 is a convex arc, specifically a slightly convex one, to match the elbow curvature; the lower fabric segment 14 is a concave arc, specifically a significantly concave one, to better fit the wrist joint. This dual-curvature design provides wrist rotation freedom and sufficient space to prevent wrist constriction.

[0038] In this embodiment, the upper fabric segment 12 is connected to the sleeve body 3, located near the elbow. The length of the upper fabric segment 12 is equal to the width near the elbow, corresponding to the thicker part of the arm. The upper fabric segment 12 is located away from the elbow on the wrist side. The length of the lower fabric segment 14 is equal to the width away from the elbow and wrist, corresponding to the thinner part of the arm. This is achieved by limiting the length of the upper fabric segment 12 to be greater than the length of the lower fabric segment 14. Specifically, the sleeve piece 1 is a horseshoe shape, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, closely conforming to the physiological structure of the human forearm (forearm muscles are usually thicker at the top and thinner at the bottom, changing shape during movement). This ensures that the cuff does not easily ride up or twist during arm movements (especially bending and rotating), while providing a more natural and comfortable fit. This specific shape is a significant feature that distinguishes it from existing technologies.

[0039] The human wrist naturally relaxes with a certain degree of curvature, while traditional sleeve designs typically feature straight or slightly tapered cuffs, which does not conform to this physiological structure. Figure 3When playing billiards, the wrist needs to rotate and bend frequently to adjust the angle of the cue. The cuff adopts a horseshoe-shaped design, with the upper part being larger than the lower part. This design can closely fit the physiological curve of the wrist, ensuring comfort while facilitating flexible wrist rotation during actions such as hitting the ball. The cuff will not affect athletic performance due to being too tight or too loose, and it can also effectively prevent the shirt cuff from slipping down, ensuring the stability of the cuff position.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first side fabric segment 11 and the second side fabric segment 13 are gathered together in opposite directions, and the first side fabric segment 11 overlaps the second side fabric segment 13, so that the sleeve piece 1 forms a ring. Connecting components are provided on the first side fabric segment 11 and the second side fabric segment 13 to realize the detachable connection between the first side fabric segment 11 and the second side fabric segment 13.

[0041] The connecting component can be any part that can connect to a regular cuff, such as a button and buttonhole, a Velcro assembly, etc. Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting component is a button and buttonhole. A buttonhole is provided on the first side fabric segment 11, and a button that mates with the buttonhole is provided on the second side fabric segment 13. Additionally, the same button is provided at another horizontal position on the second side fabric segment 13, making the cuff structure aesthetically pleasing. To further optimize the above solution, there is at least one connecting component, and they are evenly distributed along the seam length direction of the cuff.

[0042] In some embodiments, the overlap width on the first side fabric segment 11 and the second side fabric segment 13 is 3-5mm. Specifically, the sleeve piece 1 forms a ring, with a width of 27cm on the side near the elbow and 21cm on the side away from the elbow and wrist. After connecting the first side fabric segment 11 and the second side fabric segment 13 using a connecting component, the upper end is 24cm and the lower end is 22cm.

[0043] In the unfolded diagram of sleeve piece 1, draw a vertical line from the two ends (A, B) of the upper edge of sleeve piece 1 down to the lower edge. Control the angle between the outer seam and the vertical line, which is the first angle. The angle between the inner seam and the vertical line is the second angle. The range of the first angle and the second angle is 5-10°, and the first angle and the second angle have the same value to prevent the cuff from riding up.

[0044] The lower fabric segment 14 has chamfered or rounded corners at its connection with the first side fabric segment 11 and the second side fabric segment 13. By adopting the above technical solution, the chamfered or rounded corners at the connection between the lower fabric segment 14 and the first side fabric segment 11 and the second side fabric segment 13 create a V-shaped opening on the ring formed by the cuff when the first side fabric segment 11 and the second side fabric segment 13 are gathered in opposite directions. Arm movements in billiards (such as resting, striking, and striking) involve multiple angle changes. The optimized chamfered or rounded corner structure at the lower end of the cuff avoids hard contact between the right-angled edge and the table or wrist, better conforming to wrist movement and reducing unnecessary friction interference. Furthermore, compared to traditional right-angled cuffs, the chamfered / rounded design has a more streamlined aesthetic, conforming to the minimalist style of modern sportswear while maintaining a professional look.

[0045] When chamfers are provided at the connection points of the lower fabric segment 14 and the first side fabric segment 11, and at the connection points of the lower fabric segment 14 and the second side fabric segment 13, the chamfer angle is 30°~45° to create a smooth transition at the edge. This is suitable for professional players who need precise cue control and prevents the cuff from scraping the table surface when making low shots. In addition, the chamfers on both sides should be as consistent as possible to maintain an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0046] When rounded corners are provided at the connection between the lower fabric segment 14 and the first side fabric segment 11, and at the connection between the lower fabric segment 14 and the second side fabric segment 13, the diameter of the rounded corners is 5~10mm, and the rounded corners on both sides should be as similar as possible to enhance comfort and maintain aesthetics.

[0047] In this embodiment, rounded edges are provided at the connection between the lower fabric segment 14 and the first side fabric segment 11, and at the connection between the lower fabric segment 14 and the second side fabric segment 13.

[0048] In some embodiments, sleeve piece 1 is made of double-layered fabric. Specifically, sleeve piece 1 includes a fabric layer and a lining layer, the lining layer being a non-woven fabric lining layer. Alternatively, sleeve piece 1 includes a first fabric layer and a second fabric layer, the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer may be made of the same fabric or different fabrics. Specifically, in this embodiment, sleeve piece 1 is made of double-layered fabric, the fabric composition of which is: 60-70% polyester fiber + 20-30% modal fiber + 1-10% spandex, yarn density: T / M55S*T / M55S+30DSP, 160*108. It uses top-grade modal fabric, with a specially designed skin-friendly heat-pressed label, which is skin-friendly and moisturizing, pressure-free and comfortable, and safe for sensitive skin; it also incorporates high-quality anti-wrinkle fibers, preventing sag and deformation, keeping it looking new at all times, and allowing for free movement.

[0049] In some embodiments, the sleeve height of the cuff is 6-10cm, where sleeve height refers to the maximum width of the upper fabric segment 12 and the lower fabric segment 14. The sleeve height dimension is within the range of 6 cm to 10 cm. In different cuff applications, the specific size is determined according to different tops and requirements. Preferably, the sleeve height of the cuff is 7-8cm.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] This embodiment provides a top, specifically a shirt, which includes the cuff structure of embodiment 1, and the cuff structure is connected to the shirt sleeve 3.

[0052] 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.
