Detailed Implementation

[0018] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0019] Example 1 like Figure 1-2 As shown, the shirt in this embodiment includes a cuff structure, which comprises a sleeve body fabric 1 and a cuff fabric 2 connected to each other. Both the sleeve body fabric 1 and the cuff fabric 2 are custom-cut fabrics.

[0020] The cuff fabric 2 is divided into three parts along its width: a first part 31, a second part 32, and a third part 33. The first part 31 and the second part 32 are of the same width and are used to fit together. The third part 33 is narrower than either the first part 31 or the second part 32 and is used to fit against the sleeve body fabric 1. The connection between the first part 31 and the sleeve body fabric 1 corresponds to the connection between the second part 32 and the third part 33; in cross-sectional view, these two connections are located on the same vertical plane. Preferably, the width of the third part 33 is greater than or equal to 1 cm.

[0021] A bonding film 4 is provided between the first part 31 and the second part 32 of the cuff fabric 2, and a bonding film 4 is provided between the third part 33 and the sleeve body fabric 1, i.e., the size of the bonding film 4 is equal to the size of the second part 32 and the third part 33. The sleeve body fabric 1 and the cuff fabric 2 have a front side on the outside and a reverse side on the inside; the bonding film 4 is bonded to the reverse side of the cuff fabric 2. In the cuff structure, the reverse sides of the first part 31 and the second part 32 of the cuff fabric 2 are bonded together by the bonding film 4, and the reverse side of the third part 33 is bonded together with the reverse side of the sleeve body fabric 1.

[0022] Preferably, when there are decorative items such as buttons or snap fasteners on the cuff, a non-elastic shaping yarn fabric is bonded between the adhesive film 4 and the cuff fabric 2 through another adhesive film 4. The shaping yarn fabric is a non-elastic fabric with a weight of 80g / m² and is made of 100% nylon. Specifically, when there are decorative items such as buttons or snap fasteners on the cuff, shaping yarn fabric is also adhered to the reverse side of the second part 32 and the third part 33, and adhesive films 4 are adhered to both sides of the shaping yarn fabric.

[0023] In this embodiment, the preferred weight of the customizable fabric is 270 GSM. The customizable fabric is made of 85% polyester and 15% spandex, and is a high-elasticity customizable fabric with a transverse elongation rate of ≥80% and a resilience rate of ≥90%.

[0024] Example 2 Based on the cuff structure of Embodiment 1 above, the method for preparing the shirt cuff in this embodiment includes the following steps: Step S1, Pre-shrink The sleeve body fabric 1 and the cuff fabric 2 are pre-shrinked.

[0025] The pre-shrinking treatment is carried out at 170℃ for 25 seconds with a pressure of 4kg to eliminate the uneven shrinkage of the fabric caused by the high temperature in subsequent processes.

[0026] Step S2, Apply adhesive film 4 The cuff fabric 2 is divided into a first part 31, a second part 32, and a third part 33 along its width. The first part 31 and the second part 32 are used to adhere to each other, and the third part 33 is used to adhere to the sleeve body fabric 1. An adhesive film 4 is adhered to the second part 32 and the third part 33. The width of the third part 33 is smaller than the width of the first part 31 or the second part 32, and it is used to adhere to the sleeve body fabric 1. The connection between the first part 31 and the sleeve body fabric 1 corresponds to the connection between the second part 32 and the third part 33. From the cross-sectional view, these two connections are located on the same vertical plane. Preferably, the width of the third part 33 is greater than or equal to 1 cm.

[0027] A bonding film 4 is provided between the first part 31 and the second part 32 of the cuff fabric 2, and a bonding film 4 is provided between the third part 33 and the sleeve body fabric 1, i.e., the size of the bonding film 4 is equal to the size of the second part 32 and the third part 33. The sleeve body fabric 1 and the cuff fabric 2 have a front side on the outside and a reverse side on the inside; the bonding film 4 is bonded to the reverse side of the cuff fabric 2. In the cuff structure, the reverse sides of the first part 31 and the second part 32 of the cuff fabric 2 are bonded together by the bonding film 4, and the reverse side of the third part 33 is bonded together with the reverse side of the sleeve body fabric 1.

[0028] Step S3: Connecting the ends of the sleeve body fabric 1 and the cuff fabric 2 The end of the first part 31 is ultrasonically welded to the sleeve fabric 1.

[0029] Specifically, when ultrasonically welding the end of the first part 31 to the sleeve fabric 1, the front edge of the first part 31 is first overlapped and sewn with the front edge of the sleeve fabric 1 to form a seam allowance 5, which is located on the reverse side of the fabric. Then, ultrasonic cutting is performed on the seam allowance 5, cutting off the seam allowance 5 while connecting the end of the first part 31 to the end of the sleeve fabric 1.

[0030] Step S4, connecting the cuff fabric 2 The two sides of the cuff fabric 2 along the length direction of the first part 31 and the second part 32 are ultrasonically welded respectively.

[0031] Specifically, when ultrasonically welding the two side edges of the first part 31 and the second part 32, the cuff fabric 2 is folded between the first part 31 and the second part 32 so that the front sides of the first part 31 and the second part 32 completely overlap, with the reverse side facing outwards. The short edges of the first part 31 and the second part 32 are then sewn together to form a seam allowance 5, which is located on the reverse side of the fabric. Afterwards, ultrasonic cutting is performed on the seam allowance 5, cutting it off while simultaneously connecting the short edges of the first part 31 and the second part 32 together.

[0032] During ultrasonic welding, the corresponding ends need to be overlapped and sewn together first. This is to fix them in place to facilitate ultrasonic cutting and welding, ensuring that the two layers align accurately. Then, ultrasound is used to cut away the excess seam allowance 5 while simultaneously connecting the ends of the remaining components. To prevent insufficient strength from the ultrasonic weld, the width of the third part 33 is set to be greater than or equal to 1 cm. The second part 32 and the third part 33 need to cover the welded joint between the first part 31 and the sleeve fabric 1, strengthening the structure's rigidity.

[0033] Step S5, connecting the cuff fabric 2 After connecting the short edges of the first part 31 and the second part 32 together in step S4, the reverse side of the fabric is now on the outside. Tear off the centrifugal paper on the adhesive film 4 and turn the right side of the cuff fabric 2 over, making sure the corners are straight when turning it over. Then, use the adhesive film 4 to attach the first part 31 and the second part 32 on the reverse side of the cuff fabric 2, and the third part 33 to the reverse side of the sleeve fabric 1, to obtain the cuff.

[0034] When the second part 32 is bonded to the first part 31, and the third part 33 is bonded to the sleeve fabric 1, pre-fixing is performed first, followed by secondary fixing at the area with adhesive film 4. Pre-fixing involves ironing at 140℃. Secondary fixing involves pressing the area with adhesive film 4 using a flatbed press to ensure connection strength, with parameters of 170℃, 40s, and 4kg.

[0035] With the same material thickness and adhesive film 4, the cuff structure prepared in this embodiment has a thickness of 1.7mm at the connection point with the sleeve fabric 1; while the thickness at the connection point obtained by the traditional edge bonding process is 2.35mm; and the thickness at the connection point obtained by the seam-by-side process is 2.8mm. The cuff structure of this embodiment has a tight fabric connection, is thin, and has no obvious protrusion.

[0036] Preferably, when there are decorative items such as buttons or snap fasteners on the cuff, a non-elastic shaping yarn fabric is bonded between the adhesive film 4 and the cuff fabric 2 using another adhesive film 4. This step is between steps S1 and S2 described above. Specifically, the non-elastic shaping yarn fabric is laminated with adhesive film 4 on both sides and cut to the size of the second part 32 and the third part 33 of the cuff fabric 2. The liner on one side is removed, and the shaping yarn fabric is pasted onto the second part 32 and the third part 33. Then, another layer of adhesive film 4 is pasted on the shaping yarn fabric. If the cuff itself does not have decorative items such as buttons or snap fasteners, the non-elastic shaping yarn fabric does not need to be pasted; only one layer of adhesive film 4 needs to be pasted.

[0037] This invention employs ultrasonic welding, which removes excess fabric while maintaining a certain degree of adhesion, and then folds and bonds to strengthen the weld, resulting in a cuff without burrs or noticeable protrusions. The finished product has a smooth surface without exposed edges and solves the problem of burrs after prolonged washing or wear. Compared to existing manufacturing processes, the cuff produced by this method is significantly thinner in certain areas. With the same material thickness and adhesive film 4, the cuff structure obtained by the above preparation method of this invention reduces the thickness of one layer of fabric and one layer of adhesive film 4 compared to edge bonding; and reduces the thickness of two layers of fabric, one layer of adhesive film 4, and one sewing thread compared to edge sewing. The overall thickness of the cuff structure of this invention at the connection with the sleeve fabric 1 is 1.5-1.8mm; while the overall thickness of the connection obtained by the traditional edge bonding process is 2.3-2.5mm; and the overall thickness of the connection obtained by the edge sewing process is 2.7-2.9mm. The cuff structure of this invention features a tightly connected, thin fabric with no noticeable protrusions.

Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
