Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a reversible garment. [Background technology]
[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a reversible jacket having a first pocket consisting of a pocket bag placed between the outer fabric and the lining fabric when the jacket is worn with the outer fabric facing outward, and a second pocket consisting of a so-called patch pocket with pocket fabric added to the outside of the lining fabric when the jacket is worn with the lining fabric facing outward. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Application No. 60-056709 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] For example, when making a reversible garment for a sport such as tennis, in which multiple tennis balls or other items can be stored in the pocket, the pocket needs to have a sufficient capacity regardless of whether the garment is worn with the outer fabric or the inner fabric facing outwards.
[0005] In the garment pocket disclosed in Patent Document 1, the pocket on the lining is a patch pocket, so the capacity of the pocket bag may be insufficient. Also, since a patch pocket requires additional fabric to be added to the outer surface of the garment, it is easily noticeable in appearance, and there is room for improvement in terms of design.
[0006] To provide a reversible garment which can ensure pocket capacity regardless of whether the garment is worn with the outer fabric or the inner fabric facing outward, and can improve design freedom. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] One aspect of the present invention is A reversible garment having a first fabric located on the front side and a second fabric located on the back side in a first state, and the first fabric located on the back side and the second fabric located on the back side in a second state, the garment being wearable in either the first state or the second state, A first pocket bag is disposed on the first fabric side between the first fabric and the second fabric, A second pocket bag is disposed on the second fabric side between the first fabric and the second fabric, The first pocket bag opens to a first pocket opening provided in the first fabric, The second pocket bag opens into a second pocket opening provided in the second fabric, forming a reversible garment.
[0008] According to the present invention, in both the first and second states, the pocket can be configured as a pocket bag located between the first and second fabrics. Therefore, compared to a case in which the pocket in either the first or second state is configured as a patch pocket, it is easier to ensure the pocket capacity, and furthermore, the pocket is less noticeable in appearance, so that the garment can be made to look neat from the surface, and the freedom of design of the garment can be improved. Effect of the Invention
[0009] According to the present invention, whether the first fabric or the second fabric is worn on the outside, the pocket capacity can be ensured and design freedom can be improved. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Figure 4] FIG. 4 is an end view taken along line IV-IV in FIG. [Diagram 5] FIG. 4 is an end view taken along line VV in FIG. 3 . DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0011] Hereinafter, a tennis skort (hereinafter, also referred to as "skort") 1, which is one embodiment of a reversible garment according to the present invention, will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0012] Fig. 1 shows a left side view of the skort 1 in a first state with the first fabric 20 on the outer side. Fig. 2 shows a right side view of the skort 1 in a second state with the second fabric 30 on the outer side. Below, the up / down, left / right, and front / back directions of the skort 1 are defined based on a state in which a wearer wearing the skort 1 is standing upright. In addition, the direction from the outer surface toward the inside in the thickness direction of the fabric is defined as the inside, and the opposite is defined as the outside, the direction toward the outside in the width direction is defined as the outside, and the direction toward the center in the width direction is defined as the inside.
[0013] 1 and 2, the skort 1 is a reversible garment that can be worn in either a first state with the first fabric 20 on the outside, or a second state with the second fabric 30 on the outside. The skort 1 has a skort body 10 that wraps around the hips of the wearer, a waist portion 40 that is located around the waist of the wearer, and a first pocket bag 50 that can be used in the first state and a second pocket bag 60 that can be used in the second state, which are provided on the sides of the skort body 10.
[0014] The first fabric 20 has a first front body fabric 21 covering the wearer's abdomen and a first back body fabric 22 covering the wearer's buttocks. The second fabric 30 has a second front body fabric 31 covering the wearer's abdomen and a second back body fabric 32 covering the wearer's buttocks. The skort body 10 is formed into a double tube shape by sewing the first front body fabric 21 and the first back body fabric 22 together on both widthwise outer sides and sewing the second front body fabric 31 and the second back body fabric 32 together on both widthwise outer sides.
[0015] Fig. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the periphery of the pocket bags 50, 60 with the waist portion 40 hidden in order to explain the configuration of the pocket bags 50, 60. For convenience of explanation, Fig. 3 shows the ends of the first fabric 20, the second fabric 30, and the fabrics constituting the pocket bags 50, 60 shifted from one another. Fig. 4 shows an end view taken along line IV-IV in Fig. 3.
[0016] 3 and 4, the first back body fabric 22 is folded back outward after being overlapped on the outside of the first front body fabric 21 and sewing together the first front fabric end 21a on the widthwise outer side of the first front body fabric 21 and the first back fabric end 22a on the widthwise outer side of the first back body fabric 22. In other words, the front edge 22b of the folded back portion of the first back body fabric 22 forms the first sideline 23. As a result, the first back body fabric 22 is sewn to the first front body fabric 21 in a state where it extends rearward from the first sideline 23. In this embodiment, the first front fabric end 21a and the first back fabric end 22a are folded inward.
[0017] Here, we have explained the first fabric 20, but the second fabric 30 has a similar configuration, so the second side seam 33 is formed by the front edge portion 32b of the second back body fabric 32, and the second front fabric end portion 31a and the second back fabric end portion 32a are also folded inward.
[0018] In this embodiment, the front seam portion 75a sewing together the first front body fabric 21 and the first back body fabric 22, and the back seam portion 75b sewing together the second front body fabric 31 and the second back body fabric 32 are formed by a single body seam 75.
[0019] 1 and 2, the waist portion 40 has a long, tubular waist fabric 41 in an unfolded state, and a stretchable waist rubber (not shown) that is shorter than the waist fabric 41 and is contained within the waist fabric 41. The waist portion 40 is formed into a ring shape by sewing together both ends of the waist fabric 41, and is sewn to the upper end of the skort body 10. A seam 42 that sews the waist portion 40 to the skort body 10 extends in the circumferential direction at the waist of the wearer. In other words, the seam 42 extends approximately horizontally.
[0020] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the first pocket bag 50 is disposed between the first fabric 20 and the second fabric 30 on the first fabric 20 side, and the second pocket bag 60 is disposed between the second fabric 20 and the second fabric 30 on the second fabric 30 side. In the first state, the first pocket bag 50 has a first pocket opening 51 on the left side of the waist of the first fabric 20. In the second state, the second pocket bag 60 has a second pocket opening 61 on the right side of the waist of the second fabric 30. In the first state, the first pocket bag 50 extends forward from the first pocket opening 51. In the second state, the second pocket bag 60 extends forward from the second pocket opening 61.
[0021] In the first state, the wearer can access the first storage space S1 of the first pocket bag 50 through the first pocket opening 51, and in the second state, the wearer can access the second storage space S2 of the second pocket bag 60 through the second pocket opening 61. In this embodiment, the first pocket bag 50 and the second pocket bag 60 are formed by a pocket bag body 70 disposed between the first fabric 20 and the second fabric 30.
[0022] As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the pocket bag body 70 has a first pocket fabric 71 arranged on the first fabric 20 side, a second pocket fabric 72 arranged on the second fabric 30 side, and a third pocket fabric 73 arranged between the first pocket fabric 71 and the second pocket fabric 72. The first pocket fabric 71, the second pocket fabric 72, and the third pocket fabric 73 have substantially the same shape. The pocket bag body 70 is formed into a bag shape by sewing at least a part of the periphery of the first pocket fabric 71, the second pocket fabric 72, and the third pocket fabric 73 in a state where they are overlapped with each other. The first storage space S1 is formed between the first pocket fabric 71 and the third pocket fabric 73, and the second storage space S2 is formed between the second pocket fabric 72 and the third pocket fabric 73.
[0023] 1 and 2, the pocket bag 70 has a generally trapezoidal shape, with an upper edge 70a extending in the front-rear direction and sewn to the waist portion 40, a front edge 70b extending forward as it moves downward from the front end of the upper edge 70a, a rear edge 70c extending downward from the rear end of the upper edge 70a, a bottom edge 70d extending forward from the lower end of the rear edge 70c, and a curved portion 70e that is continuous with the lower end of the front edge 70b and the front end of the bottom edge 70d and curves forward and downward in an arc shape. The pocket bag 70 has a smooth connection between the front edge 70b and the bottom edge 70d by the curved portion 70e.
[0024] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the upper edge portion 70a, the front edge portion 70b, the rear edge portion 70c, the bottom edge portion 70d, and the curved portion 70e are respectively formed by the first to third upper edge portions 71a, 72a, 73a, the first to third front edge portions 71b, 72b, 73b, the first to third rear edge portions 71c, 72c, 73c, the first to third bottom edge portions 71d, 72d, 73d, and the first to third curved portions 71e, 72e, 73e of the first to third pocket fabrics 71, 72, 73.
[0025] 1 to 3, the first to third top edge portions 71a, 72a, 73a are integrally sewn to the waist portion 40 and the seam portion 42 of the skort body 10. With the first fabric 71, the second fabric 72, and the third fabric 73 integrally overlapped in the width direction, the first to third front edge portions 71b, 72b, 73b, the first to third bottom edge portions 71d, 72d, 73d, and the first to third curved portions 71e, 72e, 73e are sewn together, respectively.
[0026] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the first to third rear edge portions 71c, 72c, 73c are located between the front front fabric end portion 21a and the back front fabric end portion 31a, and are integrally sewn to the front front body fabric 21, the front back body fabric 22, the back front body fabric 31, and the back back body fabric 32 by the body seam portion 75.
[0027] As shown in FIG. 3, the first pocket opening 51 is formed by a first cutout portion 21b provided in the first front body fabric 21 and a first pocket cutout portion 71f provided in the first pocket fabric 71.
[0028] The first cutout portion 21b has a first upper side portion 21c extending forward from the first front fabric end portion 21a, a first vertical side portion 21d extending downward from the front end of the first upper side portion 21c, and a first lower side portion 21e extending backward from the lower end of the first vertical side portion 21d. The first upper side portion 21c and the first lower side portion 21e extend from the first front fabric end portion 21a to the front side of the first sideline 23 along the waist portion 40. The first vertical side portion 21d is located forward of the first sideline 23 and extends vertically along the first sideline 23.
[0029] The first pocket cutout 71f has substantially the same shape as the first cutout 21b. The first pocket cutout 71f has a first pocket upper side portion 71g, a first pocket vertical side portion 71h, and a first pocket lower side portion 71i, which correspond to the first upper side portion 21c, the first vertical side portion 21d, and the first lower side portion 21e, respectively.
[0030] 3 and 5, the first vertical side portion 21d and the first pocket vertical side portion 71h are located forward of the first side line 23 and are therefore not sewn together at the body seam 75. In other words, the first pocket opening 51 is formed by the first vertical side portion 21d and the first pocket vertical side portion 71h.
[0031] A method of making the first pocket opening 51 will be described with reference to Figures 3 and 5. The first pocket opening 51 is formed by overlapping the first front body fabric 21 and the first pocket fabric 71, sewing them together along the first vertical side 21d and the first pocket vertical side 71h, providing slits at positions corresponding to the first upper side 21c, the first pocket upper side 71g, the first lower side 21e, and the first pocket lower side 71i, and folding back the first fold piece 21f and the first pocket fold piece 71j formed between the slits so that they are positioned between the first front body fabric 21 and the first pocket fabric 71. In other words, the rear edges of the first fold piece 21f and the first pocket fold piece 71j after being folded back form the first vertical side 21d and the first pocket vertical side 71h.
[0032] The second pocket opening 61 is formed by the second cutout 31b and the second pocket cutout 72f, similar to the first front body fabric 21 and the first pocket fabric 71. The second cutout 31b has a second upper side 31c, a second vertical side 31d, a second lower side 31e, and a second folded piece 31f. The second pocket cutout 72f has a second pocket upper side 72g, a second pocket vertical side 72h, a second pocket lower side 72i, and a second pocket folded piece 72f. The second vertical side 31d and the second pocket vertical side 72h are located forward of the second side line 33, and therefore are not sewn together at the body seam 75. That is, the second pocket opening 61 is formed by the second vertical side 31d and the second pocket vertical side 72h.
[0033] As shown in FIG. 3, the first pocket bag 50 and the second pocket bag 60 are provided with a first capacity expansion portion 52 and a second capacity expansion portion 62.
[0034] In this embodiment, the first capacity expansion portion 52 is formed by a pleated tuck portion extending from a first curved portion 71e provided in the first fabric 71 toward the center of the first pocket bag 50.
[0035] The tuck portion 52 has a first fold 52c extending from an apex 52a provided on the center side of the first pocket bag 50 to a first terminal portion 52b located above the first curved portion 71e, and a second fold 52e extending from the apex 52a to a second terminal portion 52d located below the first terminal portion 52b in the first curved portion 71e. The tuck portion 52 is formed into a pleated shape by sewing the first curved portion 71e while being folded at the first fold 52c and the second fold 52e.
[0036] When an item is stored in the first storage space S1, the pleats of the unstitched portion are unfolded in the tuck portion 52, and the first storage space S1 is enlarged compared to a case in which the tuck portion 52 is not provided. Here, the first capacity expansion portion 52 has been described, but the second capacity expansion portion 62 has a similar configuration.
[0037] The reversible garment 1 according to this embodiment has the following advantages.
[0038] (1) A reversible skort 1 has a first fabric 20 located on the front side in a first state and a second fabric 30 located on the back side, and in a second state, the first fabric 20 is located on the back side and the second fabric 30 is located on the back side, and can be worn in either the first state or the second state. The skort 1 has a first pocket bag 50 located on the first fabric 20 side between the first fabric 20 and the second fabric 30, and a second pocket bag 60 located on the second fabric 30 side between the first fabric 20 and the second fabric 30, and the first pocket bag 50 opens into a first pocket opening 51 provided in the first fabric 20, and the second pocket bag 60 opens into a second pocket opening 61 provided in the second fabric 30.
[0039] According to this configuration, in both the first and second states, the pocket can be configured with the pocket sack 50, 60 located between the first fabric 20 and the second fabric 30. Therefore, compared to a case where the pocket in either the first or second state is configured as a patch pocket, it is easier to ensure the capacity of the pocket, and furthermore, the pocket is less noticeable in appearance, which improves the design freedom of the garment. More specifically, in both the first and second states, since the pocket sack 50, 60 is located between the first fabric 20 and the second fabric 30 located on the front side of the garment, the garment can be made to look neat from the front in both the first and second states.
[0040] (2) The first pocket bag 50 and the second pocket bag 60 are constituted by a pocket bag body 70 arranged between the first fabric 20 and the second fabric 30, and the pocket bag body 70 is formed by overlapping a first pocket fabric 71 arranged on the first fabric 20 side, a second pocket fabric 72 arranged opposite the first pocket fabric 71 and arranged on the second fabric 30 side, and a third pocket fabric 73 arranged between the first pocket fabric 71 and the second pocket fabric 72, and sewing together the peripheral edges of the first pocket fabric 71, the second pocket fabric 72, and the third pocket fabric 73.
[0041] According to this configuration, the third pocket fabric 73 is used for both the first pocket bag 50 and the second pocket bag 60, so compared to when the first pocket bag 50 and the second pocket bag 60 are configured from four pieces of fabric, the thickness of the overlapping pocket bags in the body side direction can be suppressed, and the impact on the garment due to the bulkiness of the fabric that configures the pocket bags can be reduced. The pocket bag body 70 is configured from three pieces, so fabric can be reduced.
[0042] (3) Since the upper edge 70a of the pocket bag 70 is sewn to the horizontally extending seam 42 provided on the skort 1, the pocket bag 70 can be supported by the highly rigid horizontally extending seam.
[0043] (4) The rear edge portion 70c of the pocket bag body 70 is sewn along the first side seam 23 and the second side seam 33, except for the first pocket opening 51 and the second pocket opening 61.
[0044] According to this configuration, since the first pocket opening 51 and the second pocket opening 61 are provided at the rear edge 70c while the upper edge 70a is sewn, it is possible to fix the extending direction of the first pocket bag 50 and the second pocket bag 60. For example, the pockets will not face backwards when the garment is turned inside out.
[0045] (5) Since the pocket bag body 70 has the first capacity expansion portion 52 and / or the second capacity expansion portion 62 provided in the first pocket bag 50 and / or the second pocket bag 60, the pocket capacity can be expanded without increasing the depth of the pocket bag body 70.
[0046] In this embodiment, the pocket bag 70 is provided on one of the left and right sides of the skort 1, but may be provided on both sides.
[0047] In the present embodiment, an example has been described in which the capacity-enlarging portion is configured as a tuck portion, but the present invention is not limited to this and may be configured as gathers or the like.
[0048] In this embodiment, the first pocket opening 51 and the second pocket opening 61 of the first pocket bag 50 and the second pocket bag 60 are described as being configured as so-called side pockets arranged along the side lines, but at least one of the first pocket bag 50 and the second pocket bag 60 may be an L-shaped pocket.
[0049] In this embodiment, it has been described that the first pocket bag 50 and the second pocket bag 60 are formed in roughly the same shape, but the first pocket bag 50 and the second pocket bag 60 may have different shapes, for example, one may be formed smaller than the other.
[0050] In this embodiment, the first pocket bag 50 and the second pocket bag 60 are described as extending forward, but the first pocket bag 50 and the second pocket bag 60 may be formed to extend rearward or to extend on both the front and rear sides.
[0051] In this embodiment, the garment is described as being composed of a skort, but the garment may be a normal skirt, pants, jacket, etc. For example, when applied to a jacket, the first pocket pocket 50 and the second pocket pocket 60 may be sewn together only at the side seams.
[0052] The pocket of the garment of the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible.
