Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a modular connection structure for suit collars. Background Technology

[0002] In the apparel industry, especially in formal wear such as suits and overcoats, the collar type (such as notch lapel or shawl collar) is usually sewn fixed to the body of the garment. This one-piece structure results in a single garment having a limited style and function, requiring users to purchase multiple outfits to suit different occasions such as business, dinner, and leisure, which is costly and not environmentally friendly.

[0003] In existing technologies, detachable collar designs are mostly found in shirts with simple structures, usually achieved through buttons or Velcro. However, suit collars are complex three-dimensional structures composed of the collar face, collar lining, and embedded support strips, requiring extremely high levels of flatness and crispness after folding. If the simple detachable design of a shirt is directly transplanted to a suit, it will result in serious aesthetic problems such as collar collapse, exposed seams, and unnatural folds due to structural mismatch.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a replaceable solution specifically designed for complex three-dimensional collars that can be easily disassembled and replaced, while ensuring that the replaced collar always maintains the same crisp and smooth appearance as the fixed collar. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a modular connection structure for suit collars, which can effectively solve the above problems.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: A modular connection structure for a suit collar includes a garment body and a modular collar that is detachably connected to its collar. The neckline of the garment body is provided with an integrally formed embedded neckline groove; The modular collar has a first part of a zipper assembly embedded inside, and the zipper assembly is closedly connected to a second part of the zipper assembly embedded in the collar groove. The modular collar has a accommodating structure formed in the folding area from its connecting edge to the outer folding edge through a paper pattern unfolding process to ensure flatness after folding.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention achieves a quick, secure, and seamless detachable connection of the collar by setting an embedded collar groove at the collar of the suit body and pre-embedding a corresponding zipper component inside the modular collar. At the same time, by implementing a precise pattern unfolding and positioning process in the folding area of ​​the collar, it provides the necessary allowance for the collar to fold, overcoming the problems of the collar opening curling up, being tight, or wrinkled due to the superposition of multiple layers. Thus, while ensuring convenient modular replacement of the collar, it perfectly maintains its crisp, smooth, and full high-quality appearance, which is no different from that of a fixed collar.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-10 As shown, a modular connection structure for a suit collar includes a garment body 10 and a modular collar detachably connected to its collar. The modular collar can be a scarf collar module 100, a shawl collar module 20, or a peak lapel module 160. The modular collar also includes a collar lining and a support strip embedded in the fold line. Specifically, the scarf collar module 100, shawl collar module 20, or peak lapel module 160 is not a single layer of fabric, but a three-dimensional structure composed of a collar face, a collar lining, and a support strip embedded in the fold line, thereby ensuring that the collar remains crisp and does not collapse after folding.

[0023] The inside of the modular collar is also provided with at least one set of concealed buttons 110, which mechanically engage with the concealed seam buttonholes 120 provided on the collar slot 40 or the garment body 10. During installation, the concealed buttons 110 are fastened into the concealed seam buttonholes 120 to achieve a secure connection. This method has a simple structure and high reliability.

[0024] The neckline of the garment body 10 is provided with an integrally formed embedded neckline groove 40. Specifically, at the neckline of the garment body 10, an integrally formed embedded neckline groove 40 is formed through cutting and sewing processes. This neckline groove 40 serves as the base of the entire system, and its outline perfectly matches the connecting edge of the target collar, ensuring the stability and concealment of the connection.

[0025] The collar slot 40 is embedded with a neodymium magnet 140, and a nickel-iron alloy sheet 150 is provided at the corresponding position on the back of the modular collar, which is magnetically attracted and fixed to the collar slot 40. This method enables the collar module to automatically and accurately attract and position itself, achieving seamless docking, and is especially suitable for scenarios that require quick replacement.

[0026] The modular collar has a first part of a zipper assembly pre-embedded inside, which is then closed and connected to a second part of a zipper assembly pre-embedded in the collar groove 40. The first connecting chain 70 of the zipper assembly is pre-embedded in the back collar module 60, and the second connecting chain 80 is pre-embedded in the collar groove 40. The collar module can be quickly installed and removed by opening and closing the zipper pull, with neat and seamless connection edges.

[0027] In one embodiment, to ensure absolute stability under vigorous activity, the above methods can be combined. For example, while using magnetic attraction as the main connection method, an invisible snap 110 is added inside the collar module. The magnetic force is responsible for the main attraction and positioning, while the snap provides mechanical locking, forming a safety barrier to effectively prevent the collar from shifting under accidental pulling.

[0028] The modular collar has a accommodating structure formed in the folded area from its connecting edge to the outward folded edge through a pattern unfolding process to ensure flatness after folding. Specifically, a specific unfolding process is required when making the initial pattern of the modular collar. Specifically, at least five points are equally divided along the fold line of the collar (e.g., from point U to point J), with each point unfolded by 0.1 cm to 0.3 cm; at the same time, the outer contour edge of the entire collar module is unfolded by 0.8 cm to 1.2 cm. Preferably, at least five points are equally divided along the fold line of the collar from point U to point J, with each point unfolded by 0.2 cm, and the outer contour edge of the entire collar module is unfolded by 1 cm. This double unfolding process creates the necessary allowance for movement of the collar surface, effectively offsetting the length difference and stress caused by the structural layering during folding, thereby completely avoiding the collar from curling up, becoming tight, or wrinkled after folding outward, ensuring that it has the same flat and full appearance as the fixed collar. Specifically, if the outer contour edge is too small, there will be insufficient allowance, and the neckline will be pulled inward, causing the outer edge of the neckline to "split" or curl upward, and it will not be able to fit smoothly on the garment. If the outer contour edge is too large, there will be too much allowance, the neckline will be too loose, the edges will appear bulky and not sharp, and even drooping wrinkles will be produced due to the accumulation of fabric, losing its crispness.

[0029] To enhance the user experience, this design incorporates a convenient storage feature. A storage bag 30 is located on the inside of the front panel of the garment body 10 to store any uninstalled modular collar modules. After removing the collar module, the user can fold it flat and place it in this storage bag for easy carrying and safekeeping, ensuring the product's integrity and portability.

[0030] The following are three specific implementation examples that demonstrate the practical application of this case: Example

[0031] Application scenario: To solve the problem of wide necklines and poor warmth retention in autumn and winter coats; Technical solution: The coat body is made of wool blend, and neodymium magnets 140 are embedded in its collar groove 40. The scarf collar module 100 is made of velvet or soft, skin-friendly fabric, and thin fleece can be added inside. The back is provided with an iron-nickel alloy sheet 150 and an invisible button 110 to form a double fixation. The scarf collar module 100 has been manufactured using a folding structure process to ensure its flatness when used as a fold-over collar. Example

[0032] Application scenario: To enable a suit to switch between business and casual styles; Technical solution: The suit is made of wool blend. Users can equip it with shawl collar module 20 (made of velvet or satin fabric, for evening / casual use) and notch lapel module (made of regular worsted fabric, for business use). The connection method is pure mechanical fastening. The connection is achieved through the hidden stitching buttonhole 120 on the collar groove 40 and the invisible button 110 on the inside of the collar. The hidden stitching at the back collar ensures the aesthetics of the joint. Example

[0033] Application scenarios: To meet the needs of high-end customization for both decorative and functional expansion; Technical solution: The 160-inch lapel module can be inlaid with crystals and other decorations. To accommodate the increased thickness of the decorations, its connection adopts a strong magnetic adsorption system. At the same time, space can be reserved inside the lapel module to build an NFC chip, which can record the lapel usage scenarios and matching suggestions through a mobile APP, greatly expanding the intelligence and interactivity of the clothing.

[0034] Working principle: Through a collaborative system that integrates "base-interface-process", the traditionally fixed and integrated suit collar is deconstructed into a standardized module that can be flexibly replaced. In this process, through precise structural and process design, it is ensured that it retains or even surpasses the quality of the fixed collar. The specific workflow is as follows: First, an embedded collar slot 40 is constructed at the neckline of the garment as a unified hardware interface base, providing a precise, concealed, and stable installation platform for all modular collar types. Then, considering the complex three-dimensional structure of suit collars, collar lining and support strips are integrated inside each independent collar module to maintain its inherent crispness. Simultaneously, standardized connectors such as magnetic components, zippers, or mechanical fasteners are pre-embedded at the connection boundary between the module and the base to achieve quick and secure docking with the collar slot 40. Furthermore, to address the folding stress caused by the overlap between the module and the base, a data-driven "accommodation structure" process is applied to the collar pattern at the beginning of production—that is, precise unfolding at the folding line to provide folding allowance, and overall unfolding at the outer contour to create a full silhouette. This process fundamentally ensures that after the module is installed and folded, the outer collar surface has just the right amount of fabric allowance, thus completely eliminating curling, tightness, or wrinkles, ultimately achieving the ultimate goal of having no difference in appearance or visual aesthetics between modular and fixed collar types.

Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
