Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing technology, specifically to a novel zipper flap structure and clothing. Background Technology

[0002] In the research and development of outdoor clothing, optimizing windproof and waterproof performance has always been a core focus of technological innovation. For the treatment of clothing openings, zippers are typically used to open or close them. However, the gap at the zipper pull when the zipper is closed can lead to insufficient windproof and waterproof performance. Especially in outdoor scenarios, rain or cold wind can easily seep in through this gap, thus affecting wearing comfort. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel zipper flap structure and garment, which aims to improve the poor protective performance of existing garments.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A novel zipper flap structure includes:

[0006] The fabric body and the zipper are provided. The fabric body has an elongated opening, and the zipper is used to open / close the opening. At least when the zipper is closed, the fabric body forms an arch at the zipper pull, and the arch is a zipper cover that hides the zipper pull.

[0007] Preferably, the original fabric body is folded back at the upper end of the opening and bonded to the inside of the fabric body to form the zipper cover.

[0008] Preferably, when the zipper is in the open state, the width of the opening decreases sequentially from top to bottom, and the spacing between the zipper teeth decreases sequentially from top to bottom.

[0009] Preferably, the maximum width difference of the opening from top to bottom is ∈ [0.2cm, 0.6cm], and the maximum spacing difference of the zipper teeth from top to bottom is ∈ [0.2cm, 0.6cm].

[0010] Preferably, when the zipper is in the open state, the zipper cover is in a flat state.

[0011] Preferably, when the zipper is switched from the open state to the closed state, the opening is set with equal width from top to bottom, and the zipper cover is in an arched state.

[0012] Preferably, the fabric body has two inwardly folded sections symmetrically arranged at the opening position, and the zipper is sewn onto the folded sections.

[0013] A garment is also provided, including the novel zipper flap structure described above.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, the zipper cover is formed by the fabric itself. Compared with the zipper cover formed by sewing together independent pieces, it not only reduces the number of stitches and the difficulty of the process, but also improves the appearance and integrity of the garment, avoids the risk of air leakage and water seepage at the seams, and improves the protective performance.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, the opening is designed to be wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, so that at least when the zipper is closed, the opening width has enough margin to allow the zipper cover to naturally arch up to form an arched structure to accommodate the zipper pull. When the zipper is open, the zipper cover can remain flat, thus ensuring that the garment is neat and beautiful. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel zipper cover structure, including a fabric body 10 and a zipper 11. The fabric body 10 is provided with an elongated opening 102, and the zipper 11 is used to open / close the opening 102. At least when the zipper 11 is in the closed state, the fabric body 10 forms an arched portion at the zipper pull 112 of the zipper 11, and the arched portion is the zipper cover 103 that hides the zipper pull 112.

[0033] Specifically, after the zipper 11 is sewn onto the fabric 10, the zipper teeth 111 of the zipper 11 are firmly sewn to the fabric 10. Then, a long strip opening 102 is cut into the fabric 10 between the two zipper teeth 111. The opening 102 is cut with one end wider than the other end, i.e., a structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. A zipper cover 103 is set at the wider end to cover the zipper pull 112 of the zipper 11. The zipper cover 103 can cover the gap at the zipper pull 112 that cannot be completely closed, thereby improving the windproof and waterproof performance of the zipper 11 and providing a certain degree of protection for the zipper pull 112, preventing wear and tear on the zipper pull 112 and extending its service life.

[0034] Furthermore, during cutting, the width W of the opening 102 is cut to gradually decrease from one end of the zipper cover 103 to the other. Preferably, the shape of the opening 102 is an inverted trapezoidal outline, and the maximum width difference of the opening 102 is 0.2mm to 0.6mm, preferably 0.4mm. This makes the zipper cover 103 a deformable movable structure. When the zipper 11 is in the open state, the width W of the opening 102 decreases from top to bottom, and the spacing D of the zipper teeth 113 decreases from top to bottom. At this time, the zipper cover 103 is in a flat state. Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the zipper 11 changes from the open state to the closed state, the opening 102 is of equal width from top to bottom, and the zipper cover 103 is arched. This is because after the zipper 11 is closed, the extra width of the opening 102 at one end of the zipper cover 103 causes the zipper cover 103 to deform into an arched pocket-like structure. (Refer to...) Figure 3 and Figure 4 This allows for better accommodation of the zipper head 112, further enhancing wind and water resistance while ensuring a neat and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the original fabric 10 is folded back at the upper end of the opening 102 and bonded to the inner side of the fabric 10 to form a zipper cover 103. The edge of the zipper cover 103 is provided with an inwardly folded edge structure 1031, and an adhesive layer 1032 is provided between the folded edge structure 1031 and the zipper cover 103. The folded edge structure 1031 is formed by folding the original edge of the fabric 10 retained when cutting the opening 102 inwards. The adhesive layer 1032 can be a hot melt adhesive layer. Hot pressing is used to shape the folded edge structure 1031, thereby ensuring the folded edge structure 1031 is firm and prevents fraying, while also improving the stiffness and durability of the zipper cover 103.

[0036] Compared to the existing zipper flaps formed by separate cut pieces with seam settings (i.e., the three sides of the separate cut pieces are sewn together with the garment body to form a pocket-like structure), the zipper flap 103 formed by folding the fabric body 10 in this embodiment can reduce the stitching structure, avoid air leakage and water seepage at the seam, enhance the protective performance of the garment, and improve the overall integrity and aesthetics of the garment.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the fabric body 10 is symmetrically provided with two inwardly folded portions 101 at the opening 102 position, and the two chain teeth 111 of the zipper 11 are symmetrically arranged on the two folded portions 101, and the chain teeth 113 on the chain teeth 111 are exposed in the opening 102.

[0038] Specifically, two chain teeth 111 are symmetrically sewn onto the fabric 10. The chain teeth 113 of the chain teeth 111 are sewn on the side away from the line of symmetry. After cutting an opening 102 into the fabric 10 between the two chain teeth 111, the two chain teeth 111 are folded over, so that the fabric 10 forms a fold 101 at the opening 102. This allows the fabric 10 to cover the webbing part of the chain teeth 111 (with a small allowance for the zipper pull 112 to slide, about 1mm), improving aesthetics and windproof performance. At the same time, the design of the fold 101 enhances the wear resistance of the edge of the opening 102.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] The second aspect of this embodiment provides a garment including the novel zipper cover structure described in Embodiment 1. By designing the zipper cover 103 to protect the position of the zipper pull 112 of the zipper 11, the windproof and waterproof performance of the garment's opening structure is improved. At the same time, the zipper cover 103 is formed by folding back the fabric 10 itself. Compared with a sewn independent zipper cover, this not only reduces the number of stitches and lowers the manufacturing difficulty, but also improves the overall aesthetics of the structure. In addition, by designing the width of the opening 102 as an inverted trapezoid, the zipper cover 103 naturally forms an arched pocket-like structure when the zipper 11 is closed, effectively accommodating the zipper pull 112, further optimizing the windproof and waterproof performance, and maintaining a flat and close fit when the zipper 11 is open, ensuring the simplicity and beauty of the garment's appearance.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
