Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet four-legged clothing production and weaving technology, and in particular to a four-legged pet onesie woven on a circular knitting machine without side seams. Background Technology

[0002] The pet apparel market is currently experiencing rapid growth. According to the "2025-2030 Global and China Pet Apparel Industry Market Status Survey and Development Prospect Analysis Report," the global pet apparel market size reached US$5.98 billion in 2023 and is projected to exceed US$61 billion by 2030. The Chinese market size exceeds RMB 3.5 billion, with an annual growth rate exceeding 20%. However, existing pet four-legged clothing has significant technical shortcomings, specifically as follows: 1. Structural design defects: Traditional four-legged jumpsuits use a multi-piece splicing and sewing process. In areas with large curvature and frequent movement, such as the pet's neck, abdomen, limbs and armpits, the fabric layers are prone to overlap and the seams may bulge, creating additional physical friction and pressure. This may not only damage the pet's skin, but also cause the pet's fur to become tangled and knotted at the seams.

[0003] 2. Insufficient fabric elasticity: The seams at the seams restrict the elasticity of the fabric itself, preventing it from stretching and contracting with the pet's limbs, limiting the pet's daily activities such as running, jumping, and curling up, and reducing the comfort of wearing it.

[0004] 3. Low production efficiency: The process of cutting and splicing multiple pieces is complicated and involves a high degree of manual intervention. It requires multiple manual alignment and sewing steps, which not only results in a long production cycle, but also easily leads to quality problems such as uneven lengths and uneven stitches due to human error. The finished product qualification rate is low, making it difficult to meet the market's demand for large-scale and high-quality products. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a four-legged pet onesie woven on a circular knitting machine without side seams, which solves the following problems: first, it eliminates the friction and hair entanglement problems at the neck, armpits, and base of the limbs of traditional multi-piece garments; second, it solves the problem that the seams restrict the elasticity of the fabric and cannot adapt to the dynamic activities of pets; third, it solves the problems of high manual intervention, long production cycle, and low finished product qualification rate of traditional processes; and fourth, it meets the needs of personalized customization and multi-size fitting for pet clothing.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This utility model provides a four-legged pet onesie woven on a circular knitting machine without side seams, including a main body piece, front leg pieces, hind leg pieces, and chest pieces symmetrically arranged on the main body piece; The two sides of the chest panel are sewn together at the midline of the abdomen to form the upper body of the bodysuit, and a neck closure is provided at the upper opening of the chest panel. The front leg panel forms a front leg sleeve at the front leg seam, and the lower end of the front leg sleeve is provided with a front leg cuff. The back leg panel forms a back leg sleeve at the back leg seam, and a back leg cuff is provided at the lower end of the back leg sleeve; wherein the back leg sleeve is sewn to the midline of the abdomen to leave a crotch area for overlocking.

[0007] In this embodiment, the neck hem fabric, the front leg hem, the back leg hem, and the main body fabric are all made from the same round fabric.

[0008] Furthermore in this embodiment, the neck cuff, front leg cuff, back leg cuff, and main body panel are all made of knitted material.

[0009] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the main body piece also includes a front arc-shaped section forming the neck opening and a rear arc-shaped section forming the crotch opening.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention offers enhanced comfort, featuring a one-piece, seamless pet bodysuit made of spandex core-spun yarn and knitted elastic fabric that stretches freely with the pet's movements, providing a comfortable fit. It also boasts superior durability, with the entire garment woven together and seams located on the inner sides of the limbs and under the chest, addressing the issue of weak stress points. The overall dyeing and setting of the tubular fabric ensures uniform texture and structural stability, extending the garment's lifespan. Furthermore, it offers higher production efficiency, as the integrated weaving process reduces cutting and splicing steps, shortening the production cycle. It also offers wider adaptability, allowing for adaptation to different machine sizes and tubular diameters (needle counts) of seamless underwear machines based on the same pre-designed DIS file containing the pattern, by adjusting its horizontal and vertical dimensions. The one-piece structure is also ideal for screen printing, 3D printing, and other pattern processing techniques, meeting personalized needs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0013] refer to Figure 1 This embodiment discloses a circular knitted, seamless four-legged pet bodysuit, including a main body piece 2, two front leg pieces 3, two hind leg pieces 4, and two chest pieces 5 symmetrically and integrally formed on the main body piece 2.

[0014] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The two sides of the chest piece 5 are sewn together at the midline seam 12 of the abdomen to form the upper body of the bodysuit. The upper opening of the chest piece 5 is designed with a neck tapering 14. The front leg piece 3 forms a front leg sleeve at the front leg seam 10, and the lower end of the front leg sleeve is provided with a front pant leg tapering 7. The back leg piece 4 forms a back leg sleeve at the back leg seam 11, and the lower end of the back leg sleeve is provided with a back pant leg tapering 8. The back leg sleeve and the midline seam 12 of the abdomen are provided with a crotch bottom 13 after overlocking.

[0015] refer to Figure 2 The neck tapered fabric 6, the front leg tapered fabric 7, the back leg tapered fabric 8, and the main body fabric 2 used for the neck tapered fabric 14 are all made from the same round fabric; the main body fabric 2 also includes a front arc-shaped section forming the neck tapered fabric 14 and a back arc-shaped section forming the crotch opening.

[0016] The neck cuff 6, front leg cuff 7, back leg cuff 8, and main body panel 2 are all made of knitted material.

[0017] In practice, the integrated production of pet four-legged clothing can be achieved through four core processes: "measuring key dimensions and 3D modeling - one-piece structural design - seamless circular knitting and dyeing and finishing - precise sewing".

[0018] Specifically as follows: Key dimension measurement and 3D modeling: including basic dimensions (numbers 1-7) and detailed dimensions (numbers 8-10), see the table below for part measurement definition instructions; based on the above dimensions, construct a pet 3D model using modeling software, complete the four-legged pants shape and structure design, optimize the fit and convenience of the pattern, and then export it to the ET pattern making system in DXF format.

[0019] One-piece structural design: Relying on the elasticity of the knitted loops, the back center line of the torso piece is straightened and symmetrically formed to create the main body piece. The neck curve of the front leg piece is aligned with the neck curve of the main body piece. The chest piece is split into two pieces and aligned with the neck curve of the front leg piece respectively. Finally, the neck curve and side curve are rounded. Taking the torso center line as the axis and half a piece as the reference, the leg length is calculated according to a 70% shrinkage rate. A 4cm wide front and back leg cuff is drawn (arranged in the gaps of the tubular piece to improve fabric utilization). A 5cm wide neck cuff is drawn on one side of the tubular structure to form a seamless knitting basic structure.

[0020] Seamless circular knitting, dyeing, and finishing: Based on the yarn raw materials (including spandex core-spun yarn), pattern structure, fabric density, finished product specifications, and finishing conditions, select a suitable seamless circular knitting machine; use CAD and graphic editing software to draw vector graphics containing structural and pattern outlines, convert them to BMP format, import them into Santoni-gr6 drawing software, and label functional areas with different color codes (see the table below for patterns of each part), completing the pattern design and structure filling; select the SOK template to compile and generate the SOK machine file; import the file into the seamless underwear machine for weaving. Dye, dry, and finish the tubular fabric using a low-liquor-ratio seamless underwear dyeing machine and dryer. After dyeing and finishing, unfold and flatten the tubular fabric, and cut it using a coverstitch sewing machine along the 1×2 false rib dividing lines.

[0021] Precise sewing: Cut the shaped tubular fabric along the 1×2 false rib dividing line using a coverstitch sewing machine; use a four-thread overlock sewing machine to sew the inner side of the front legs, the center line of the abdomen, and other parts; use a 2cm wide folded finished binding tape at the crotch, insert it into the binding tape tube, sew 3cm to fix it, then use an awl to embed the fabric into the binding tape, change to a coverstitch sewing machine and continue sewing with a two-needle three-thread stitch, and cut it after the end overlaps the starting point by 1cm.

[0022] The above embodiments are merely descriptions of preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
