Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to technology for kimono obi, and more particularly to technology for a simple obi that allows complicated obi tying to be done simply and beautifully by dividing the obi body into two parts that can be connected with a connecting member such as a zipper, and also allows adjustment according to an individual's body type and situation. [Background technology]

[0002] Kimono is a form of traditional Japanese clothing that is widely known throughout the world as the national costume of Japan. Japanese people have the custom of wearing kimono for celebrations, such as shrine visits, Shichigosan, coming-of-age ceremonies, and weddings, and there are many opportunities to wear kimono throughout their lives. However, many modern Japanese people tend to choose comfortable Western clothing even when traveling long distances by car or train. In addition, putting on a kimono by yourself, which is rarely worn, takes time, and people tend to forget how to tie the obi, especially. Therefore, when wearing a kimono for such celebrations, it has become common to ask a beauty salon or a professional kimono dresser to help you.

[0003] Furthermore, even though the kimono is the national costume of Japan, there is a problem that even Japanese people cannot put it on by themselves. In addition, there is still a tendency to adopt traditional techniques handed down from ancient times as a procedure for putting on a kimono, from the viewpoint of protecting the culture and tradition of kimono and obi, and it cannot be denied that there is a tendency to value the way of wearing that has been passed down by each school and to resist adopting new ways of wearing it. However, there are many people, regardless of age or gender, who think that it would be nice if they could wear a kimono more casually, and it can be said that there is a demand for techniques that allow people to put on a kimono easily by themselves.

[0004] When considering why it is difficult to put on a kimono by oneself, the first thing that comes to mind is tying the obi. Tying the obi requires solving two conflicting problems: it must be tied securely so that the kimono does not come undone, but tying it too tightly can make it difficult to enjoy eating and drinking, and this is a major reason why amateurs give up on putting on a kimono by themselves. Next, the task of holding the hands behind the back when making the obi is extremely difficult, and this task becomes difficult especially for older generations whose bodies become stiff and those with frozen shoulders. Therefore, there is a demand for an obi that makes it easier to make the obi, which previously required the difficult task of holding the hands behind the back.

[0005] In response to this, various technical proposals have been made in the past. For example, a technology entitled "two-part belt" has been disclosed (see Patent Document 1). Specifically, the objective of the study is to provide an obi that looks good, not only in terms of the position of the obi body relative to the kimono, but also in terms of the position and posture of the drum knot relative to the kimono. In this regard, with conventional two-piece obi as seen in Patent Document 1 and elsewhere, the position of the drum knot depends on the position of the obi body that has been fastened to the kimono first, and the posture of the drum knot hanging from the obi body fastened to the kimono is easily misaligned. Two-piece obi in which the drum knot is hooked onto the obi body is effective in making it easy to put on and take off the kimono, but there are problems with the position and posture of the drum knot as described above. Therefore, in order to provide a two-piece obi that looks good, the study is being conducted in particular on how to handle the drum knot. The solution is, "A two-piece obi consisting of a drum knot that can be easily attached and detached from the kimono, and the obi body that is fastened to the kimono by passing it through the drum knot, characterized in that the drum knot has one side of a hook-and-loop fastener attached to the front, and the other side of the hook-and-loop fastener is attached to the kimono with an adhesive surface that is easily peeled off."

[0006] Also, a technology has been disclosed entitled "Easy-to-wear Japanese obi that can be wrapped around to fit" (see Patent Document 2). Specifically, the problem is "a Japanese obi that can be worn easily with one touch", and as a solution, the invention is "a Japanese obi that is finished to a specified size, and the tip part of the waist wrap part 2. The fastening surface fastener 4 and the fastening part 5 of the drum part 1 are overlapped and connected to each other to wear with one touch", which has been disclosed and is publicly known technology.

[0007] Also disclosed is a technology entitled "Easy One-Touch Wearing Japanese Obi" (see Patent Document 2). Specifically, the problem was "an obi for Japanese clothing that can be worn simply and efficiently," and the solution was "an obi tailored to a specified size is provisionally sewn on when worn to form a drum-shaped portion 2 and a waist portion 3 extending on both sides of the drum-shaped portion 2, and this waist portion 3 is wrapped around the wearer's torso over the kimono, and both ends of the waist portion 3 are overlappingly fastened and fastened by obi fastening means 4 provided at both ends of the waist portion 3, and the obi is worn by combining the obi 1 with a fitting wrapping and attaching means 5 consisting of an elastic belt 6 having one end sewn to the middle part of the length of the waist portion, extending toward one end side 3A of the waist portion and having a raised portion 7 for a velvet fastener on one side, and a velvet fastener element 8 provided at the other end side 3B of the waist portion 3, and the fastening and fastening of the fitting wrapping and attaching means 5 ensures that the obi fits the torso." This idea has been disclosed and is known as publicly known technology.

[0008] The technologies described in the above Patent Documents 1 to 3 have in common the problem of making it possible to tie an obi easily. However, the technical means for solving the problem differs from that of the present invention. That is, the technologies described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 all use hook-and-loop fasteners or velvet fasteners as fastening means, which are not easy to adapt to changes in waist size after a meal or to fix loose fitting, and the present invention can be said to be technically superior.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0025] The present invention relates to a simple obi for Japanese clothing, which is an obi for Japanese clothing, and is formed into a ring shape by an obi body, a connecting mechanism, and a length adjustment mechanism, and the obi body is composed of a front obi part and a rear obi part, the front obi part is formed by extending forward from one end of the connecting mechanism, and the rear obi part is formed by extending backward from the other end of the connecting mechanism, the connecting mechanism connects the front obi part and the rear obi part, the length adjustment mechanism is composed of a plurality of front obi holes, a plurality of rear obi holes, and a string-like member, the front obi hole is provided at the end of the front obi part opposite to the connecting mechanism side, the rear hole is provided at the end of the rear obi part opposite to the connecting mechanism side, and the length of the obi body can be adjusted by the string-like member passing through the front obi hole and the rear hole. Each configuration will be explained below based on the drawings. However, it is not limited to the shape and configuration described in the drawings, and can be changed within the range of the effect of the creation of the technical idea of ​​the present invention.

[0026] FIG. 1 is a basic configuration explanatory diagram explaining the basic configuration of the simple belt of the present invention, where FIG. 1(a) shows the arrangement of the front belt portion 11 and the connecting mechanism 20 in the basic configuration explanatory diagram, FIG. 1(b) shows the state in which the front belt portion 11, the rear belt portion 12, the connecting mechanism 20, and the length adjustment mechanism 30 are connected, and FIG. 1(c) shows the belt body 10 as viewed from the side with the belt portions 10 connected.

[0027] The belt body 10 is the part of the belt that is wrapped around the torso in the simple belt of the present invention, and is roughly composed of two members: a front belt portion 11 and a rear belt portion 12.

[0028] The front belt portion 11 is the portion of the belt body 10 made up of two members that extends forward from the connecting mechanism 20 to form the length adjustment mechanism 30.

[0029] The rear belt portion 12 is the portion of the belt body 10 consisting of two members that extends rearward from the connecting mechanism 20 to form the length adjustment mechanism 30.

[0030] The connecting mechanism 20 is a member for connecting the front belt portion 11 and the rear belt portion 12. Various types of connecting members such as hook-and-loop fasteners and hooks can be considered, however, hook-and-loop fasteners and hooks have the disadvantage that the fastener receiving member is exposed on the surface and a step is created at the connection point, so it is preferable to use a slide fastener in order to make the connection point look more beautiful.

[0031] The length adjustment mechanism 30 is a mechanism that allows the length of the belt body 10 to be adjusted to suit the size of the individual using it, and allows the length of the belt body 10 to be freely adjusted by alternately passing the string member 33 through a plurality of holes provided at the ends of the front belt part 11 and the rear belt part 12. The provision of such a length adjustment mechanism 30 eliminates the need for a connecting mechanism such as a hook-and-loop fastener to have a function for adjusting the length, and makes it possible to employ a slide fastener as a fastening means.

[0032] The front belt holes 31 are provided in a plurality of locations on the end of the front belt part 11 opposite the connecting mechanism 20 side, and are holes through which the string-like member 33 passes in order to adjust the length of the belt body 10. Although not specifically shown in the drawings, it is preferable to provide grommets in the holes.

[0033] The rear belt hole 32 is provided at the end of the rear belt part 12 opposite to the connecting mechanism 20 side, and is a hole through which a string-like member 33 is passed to adjust the length of the belt body 10. As with the front belt hole 31, it is preferable that the rear belt hole 32 be provided with an eyelet, although this is not specifically shown in the drawings.

[0034] The string-like member 33 is a member constituting the length adjustment mechanism 30 that adjusts the length of the belt body 10 by passing it through the front belt hole 31 and the rear belt hole 32. The type of string-like member 33 is not particularly limited, and braided cord, flat cord, etc. are possible, and it is particularly suitable for so-called ribbons such as satin cords because they do not create steps.

[0035] The belt portion connecting member 40 is located inside the length adjustment mechanism 30 and connects the front belt portion 11 and the rear belt portion 12, thereby stabilizing the shape of the belt 10 body, and the belt portion connecting member 40 also has the role of regulating the maximum length set by the length adjustment mechanism 30.

[0036] 2 shows the arrangement of the front belt part 11, the rear belt part 12, the connecting mechanism 20, and the length adjustment mechanism 30 in the unfolded state of the simple belt 1 according to the present invention. From the left, there is the connecting mechanism 20, the rear belt part 12, the length adjustment mechanism 30, the front belt part 11, and the connecting mechanism 20.

[0037] 3 is an explanatory diagram of a simple belt length adjustment mechanism 30 according to the present invention, showing that the length of the belt body 10 is adjusted by connecting the front belt hole 31 and the rear belt hole 32 with a string-like member 33 so as to cross each other. The way in which the string-like member 33 is threaded is not limited to the underlap shown in the drawing, and may be overlap, single, parallel, or the like, and is not particularly limited thereto.

[0038] Figure 4 is an explanatory diagram of the usage state of the simple belt of the present invention, where Figure 4(a) shows the usage state when the decorative belt 60 is attached to the belt body 10 and viewed from the front, Figure 4(b) shows the usage state when the decorative belt 60 is attached to the belt body 10 and viewed from the back, and Figure 4(c) shows the usage state when the decorative belt 60 is attached to the belt body 10 and viewed from above.

[0039] The decorative obi 60 is the so-called drum part. Usually, this part is created by tying the obi in a way that suits your taste, but in the simple obi 1 according to the present invention, the drum part is made in advance as a double drum, etc., and the part of the obi that touches the back of the decorative obi 60 is made of at least two or more pieces of obi that are joined together, and the decorative obi 60 can be worn by inserting the end of the obi body 10 into the gap created by the joining structure. Since it can be easily put on and taken off, you can enjoy coordinating it according to the scene, not only with the double drum, which is a typical obi knot of a fukuro obi shown in Figure 6, but also with Ginza knot, Tsunodashi knot, or arranged knot.

[0040] FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of the belt plate attachment mechanism 50 of the simple belt 1 of the present invention, which shows that it is possible to hold the belt plate 51 by sandwiching it in the gap between the outer fabric 13 and the inner fabric 14, and the tab 52 prevents the belt plate 51 from falling off or shifting.

[0041] FIG. 6 is another explanatory diagram for explaining how the simple obi 1 according to the present invention is used, showing the state in which the simple obi according to the present invention is worn facing backwards while wearing a kimono.

[0042] The belt plate attachment mechanism 50 is a mechanism that allows the belt plate 51 to be attached to the belt body 10 in a snug manner, and since the belt body 10 is composed of an outer fabric 13 and an inner fabric 14, the belt plate attachment mechanism 50 is configured to be sandwiched between the outer fabric 13 and the inner fabric 14.

[0043] The outer fabric 13 is a member constituting a band plate attachment mechanism 50 for attaching a band plate 51 to the band body 10, and is used to sandwich the band plate 51 between the outer fabric 13 and the lining fabric 14.

[0044] The lining 14 is a member that constitutes a band plate attachment mechanism 50 for attaching a band plate 51 to the band body 10, and is used to sandwich the band plate 51 between the outer material 13 and itself.

[0045] The obi plate 51 is a member that prevents the obi from wrinkling when it is tied with the obi fastener. The obi plate 51 is sandwiched between the outer fabric 13 and the lining fabric 14 by the obi plate attachment mechanism 50, so it is not visible from the outside, but by using different sizes and materials, it leads to a beautiful appearance and comfortable wearing. The obi plate 51, which serves as the front plate, plays a role in preventing wrinkles from occurring in the obi and making it look sharp and stylish, while the obi plate 51, which serves as the back plate, plays a role in supporting the waist high while making the decorative knot look beautiful.

[0046] The barb 52 is a component of the belt plate attachment mechanism 50, and by providing the barb 52 to the belt plate attachment mechanism 50, which is composed of the outer fabric 13 and the inner fabric 14, the belt plate 51 does not protrude, fits well, and does not fall off.

[0047] The obi fastener 61 is a string used to fasten the decorative obi 60 and the obi body 10 together when fastening the obi, thereby fixing the obi in a fixed position. [Industrial Applicability]

[0048] The simple obi of the present invention allows a person to easily put on traditional Japanese clothing by himself, even though it is difficult to do so, and even if the obi becomes dislodged over time, it is easy to straighten it out. This allows many people to enjoy traditional Japanese clothing, and helps to spread awareness of Japanese culture not only in Japan but all over the world, so it can be said that the simple obi of the present invention has high industrial applicability through the textile industry.
