Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing technology, and more specifically to a crescent sleeve structure for a top. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional tops, especially thick ones, present the following comfort issues when worn. From a human movement perspective, the sleeves of traditional tops typically have an angle of approximately 10°, meaning... Figure 1 As shown, this design allows for relatively comfortable arm movement in everyday scenarios such as standing naturally or operating a computer, where the elbow is bent at an obtuse angle, and can still meet the need for comfort. Here, the angle refers to the inner angle when the elbow is bent. However, in scenarios such as eating or driving, where the elbow needs to be bent at a right or acute angle, the sleeves of the top have a smaller tilt angle. As the degree of forward bend of the elbow increases, the pressure of the sleeves on the elbow is significantly enhanced, greatly reducing the comfort of wearing the garment and the flexibility of movement.
[0003] In view of this, this application has conducted in-depth research on this basis, resulting in this case. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a crescent sleeve structure for a top that improves wearing comfort and freedom of movement.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is: a crescent sleeve structure for a top, including a sleeve, with the intersection of the back sleeve seam and the armhole of the sleeve as the first intersection position, the intersection between the back sleeve seam and the cuff edge of the sleeve as the second intersection position, and the extension line between the first intersection position and the second intersection position as the sleeve reference line, the angle between the sleeve reference line and the vertical line being 20°-25°.
[0006] The sleeve includes a first sleeve piece and a second sleeve piece, which are connected to each other, forming a front sleeve seam and a back sleeve seam.
[0007] The angle is 23°.
[0008] The sleeve is provided with several augmentation parts, each of which is arranged at intervals along the length of the sleeve, and the back seam of the sleeve forms a crescent shape together through all the augmentation parts.
[0009] The curvature of the back side of the first sleeve piece is greater than that of the front side of the first sleeve piece; the curvature of the back side of the second sleeve piece is greater than that of the front side of the second sleeve piece.
[0010] Multiple first reference points are evenly spaced on the front sleeve seam of the sleeve, and multiple second reference points are evenly spaced on the back sleeve seam. In each of the augmentation portions, the augmentation portion is offset along the direction of the back sleeve seam of the first sleeve piece and the second sleeve piece, respectively, with the first reference point as the base point, and intersects with the back sleeve seam to form an augmentation reference point. The augmentation reference point is closer to the cuff of the sleeve than the second reference point. The area formed by the first sleeve piece and the second sleeve piece corresponding to the first reference point, the second reference point and the augmentation reference point is the augmentation portion.
[0011] The portion of the added amount that is near or corresponds to the elbow position of the sleeve is designated as the middle added amount. The offset of the other added amounts that are not designated as the middle added amount on the back sleeve seam is arranged so that the offset gradually decreases from the middle added amount towards the two ends of the sleeve.
[0012] With the above structure, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: by increasing the angle of the sleeve to 20°-25°, the sleeve can conform to the movement trajectory of the human arm under various elbow bending angles, reducing the pressure caused by improper angles. This solves the problem of pressure caused by elbow bending at obtuse, right, and acute angles during daily human movements, and optimizes the problem of gradually increasing elbow pressure as the elbow bending angle progresses from obtuse to right to acute, thus improving wearing comfort and mobility.
[0013] Furthermore, the addition of various extension sections in the sleeves, compared to the traditional back sleeve seam, results in a greater overall curvature of the back sleeve seam, thus increasing the degree of bending of the sleeve. This alters the sleeve's structure and mechanical distribution. When the elbow bends, the extension sections allow the sleeve to deform accordingly, more naturally conforming to the movement of the arm. This ensures that the back sleeve seam still has sufficient stretch when the wearer's elbow bends, further improving wearing comfort and flexibility of movement. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.
[0023] A type of top with a crescent-shaped sleeve structure, which is an improvement on a conventional top, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the regular top includes a body 1, which has two armholes in a conventional manner, and the two armholes are sewn with sleeves as described below.
[0024] For ease of description, the side facing the human eye is called the front side, and the side facing away is called the back side.
[0025] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the crescent sleeve structure of this embodiment includes two sleeves 2. Since the two sleeves have identical structures, one sleeve will be used as an example for explanation. The first intersection point 21 is the location where the top of the back sleeve seam of sleeve 2 intersects with the armhole. The second intersection point 22 is the location where the lower end of the back sleeve seam of sleeve 2 intersects with the edge of the cuff of sleeve 2. The extended line between the first intersection point 21 and the second intersection point 22 is the sleeve reference line 31. The angle between the sleeve reference line 31 and the vertical line 32 is 20°-25°, preferably 23°, which provides greater comfort and flexibility, especially in thick upper garments such as down jackets. The vertical direction is defined as the direction extending along the body vertically and perpendicular to the horizontal plane when the wearer is standing normally.
[0026] To elaborate further, such as Figure 2As shown, the sleeve 2 includes a first sleeve piece 23 and a second sleeve piece 24. The first sleeve piece 23 and the second sleeve piece 24 are connected to each other in a conventional manner, for example, by sewing. The first sleeve piece 23 and the second sleeve piece 24 are connected to form a front sleeve seam and a back sleeve seam arranged along the length direction on the sleeve 2. That is, the front side edges 231 of the first sleeve piece 23 and the second sleeve piece 24 are sewn together to form the front sleeve seam of the sleeve 2. Correspondingly, the back side edges 232 of the first sleeve piece 23 and the second sleeve piece 24 are sewn together to form the back sleeve seam of the sleeve 2. In other words, in this embodiment, the front sleeve seam refers to the longitudinal seam line located on the front side of the sleeve, and the back sleeve seam refers to the longitudinal seam line located on the back side of the sleeve 2. This longitudinal seam is a line extending along the length direction of the sleeve 2. It is worth mentioning that the aforementioned back sleeve seam is located at 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 of the distance from the armpit side of the sleeve 2 to the other side when the garment is laid flat, preferably at about 1 / 2 of the distance from the back sleeve seam.
[0027] In this way, the angle of sleeve 2 is increased to 20°-25°, so that after sleeve 2 is sewn onto the armhole of the garment body 1, it forms a crescent sleeve, that is, a 23° crescent sleeve, which not only improves the comfort and flexibility of wearing, but also increases the aesthetics of the top.
[0028] To elaborate further, such as Figure 2 As shown, the sleeve 2 is provided with several augmenting portions 50, which are spaced apart along the length of the sleeve 2. The back seam 42 of the sleeve 2 forms a crescent shape through the various augmenting portions 50. Specifically, the curvature of the back side 232 of the first sleeve piece 23 is greater than the curvature of the front side 231 of the first sleeve piece 23, and the curvature of the back side 232 of the second sleeve piece 24 is greater than the curvature of the front side 231 of the second sleeve piece 24. In other words, the curvature of the back seam 42 of the sleeve 2 is greater than the curvature of the front seam 41 of the sleeve 2. In this way, the curvature of the sleeve 2 is increased by the addition of the augmenting portions 50.
[0029] In this embodiment, the following adjustments are made to the conventional front sleeve seam 41 and back sleeve seam 42: Multiple first reference points 51 are evenly spaced on the front sleeve seam 41 of the sleeve 2, and multiple second reference points 52 are evenly spaced on the back sleeve seam 42. Each augmentation part 50 is offset along the direction of the back sleeve seam 42 of the first sleeve piece 23 and the second sleeve piece 24, based on its respective first reference point 51, and intersects with the back sleeve seam 42 to form an augmentation reference point 53. The augmentation reference points within the same augmentation part 50 are... Reference point 53 is closer to the cuff than the second reference point 52. The area formed by the first reference point 51, the second reference point 52, and the additional reference point 53 on the first sleeve piece 23 is the additional portion 50. This additional portion 50 is the adjustment made in this embodiment. Correspondingly, the area formed by the first reference point 51, the second reference point 52, and the additional reference point 53 on the second sleeve piece 24 is also the additional portion 50. Preferably, each additional portion 50 on the first sleeve piece 23 and the second sleeve piece 24 corresponds one-to-one. In this way, under the combined action of each additional portion, the back sleeve seam 42 of the sleeve 2 is further enhanced to be crescent-shaped, so that the sleeve 2 forms a crescent sleeve after being sewn into the armhole of the garment body 1.
[0030] In other words, for ease of understanding, let's take the sleeve 2 of a down jacket as an example. The first sleeve piece 23 of the down jacket has horizontal seams 43 arranged sequentially along its length. Similarly, the horizontal seams 43 of the second sleeve piece 24 are arranged in the same way as the first sleeve piece 23. Therefore, the first sleeve piece 23 is used as an example for explanation. In the first sleeve piece 23, each horizontal seam 43 extends from the front sleeve seam 41 to the rear sleeve seam 42. Each horizontal seam 43 is arranged according to the existing conventional horizontal seam arrangement of sleeves in down jackets. That is, the horizontal seam 43 can be formed by sewing the line connecting the first reference point 51 and the second reference point 52 in the same augmentation part 50. In this embodiment, each augmentation part 50 is offset towards the cuff based on the horizontal seam 43. This offset area is the augmentation part 50. It should be noted that the sleeve 2 mentioned above can also be the sleeve of other regular tops, such as long sleeves. In the case of long sleeves, there is no horizontal seam 43. The horizontal seam 43 is only used to understand the offset area of the added portion 50 in the sleeve.
[0031] To elaborate further, such as Figure 2 As shown, for ease of description, the portion of the added weight near or corresponding to the elbow of sleeve 2 is designated as the central added weight portion. The offsets of other added weight portions not designated as the central added weight portion at the back sleeve seam 42 gradually decrease from the central added weight portion towards both ends of sleeve 2 (the cuff and the end connected to the armhole). Here, the offset refers to the distance between the second reference point 52 and the added weight reference point 53 at the back sleeve seam 42. Thus, the central added weight portion, located near or corresponding to the elbow, has the largest offset, meaning the greatest range of motion. This increases the stretch from the shoulder to the elbow and from the elbow to the cuff when the elbow is bent, thereby achieving zero pressure on the elbow.
[0032] For example, taking a configuration with four weight-adding sections, with the middle weight-adding section as the midpoint and extending outwards to both ends as the first and second weight-adding sections respectively, the offset of the middle weight-adding section at the back sleeve seam 42 is 2.5cm. The offset of the two adjacent first weight-adding sections is 1.5cm, and the offset of the two adjacent second first weight-adding sections at the back sleeve seam 42 is 1cm. It should be noted that the offsets of each part are set according to the actual situation and are not limited to the values mentioned above.
[0033] It should be noted that, Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the diagram, the yellow and green lines correspond to the outer and inner bisectors of the sleeve made using this embodiment, respectively.
[0034] Thus, this embodiment improves upon the traditional sleeve of a top by providing an augmentation portion 50 at a specific position within the sleeve 2. The main function of the augmentation portion 50 is to change the structure and mechanical distribution of the sleeve 2. When the elbow of the human body is bent, the augmentation portion 50 can cause the sleeve 2 to deform accordingly, more naturally conforming to the movement of the human arm. By setting each augmentation portion 50, the range of motion of the sleeve 2 corresponding to the position of the back sleeve seam 42 when the human elbow is bent is increased.
[0035] Furthermore, in Table 1, participants described their experience with traditional sleeve designs and down jackets made in the above manner (angle 23° and extended section 50°) under different elbow bending movements. There were 200 participants.
[0036] Table 1
[0037]
[0038] As can be seen from Table 1, traditional sleeve designs have limitations in different elbow bending angle scenarios, while the advantages of this embodiment (23-degree crescent sleeve) are significant.
[0039] This utility model discloses a crescent sleeve structure for a top. By increasing the angle, the sleeve is made into a crescent shape, changing the long-standing practice of using a 10° tilt angle for top sleeves. This breaks the conventional thinking on sleeves and is not only structurally innovative, but also adds a unique design element to the crescent sleeve structure of the top, enhancing product recognition and attractiveness, and meeting consumers' dual needs for the multifunctionality and comfort of clothing.
[0040] Furthermore, by increasing the tilt angle of the sleeve 2 to 20°-25° and incorporating it into various extension sections 50, the sleeve 2 is guided to deform with arm movement when the wearer bends their elbow. This satisfies the stretch of the back sleeve seam 42 when the wearer bends their elbow, avoiding localized pressure on the elbow and achieving zero pressure sensation, allowing for greater freedom of movement and significantly improving comfort. The experimental survey conducted in Table 1 above, involving approximately 200 potential consumers' trial experience feedback, shows that this embodiment significantly improves comfort in acute-angle elbow bending scenarios.
[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the tilt angle of sleeve 2 is 20°-25°. 200 testers also experienced tops with tilt angles smaller than this range. More than 85% of the testers felt pressure at the elbows, which is basically the same as the wearing feeling of a traditional top (i.e., traditional sleeve style) with a tilt angle of 10°.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the claims of this utility model shall fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
