Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for designing a pattern for clothing for quadrupedal animals. [Background technology]

[0002] The main quadrupedal animal that wears clothing is the dog, but there is a wide range of body sizes among dogs, from very small to very large, and the proportions of body shapes also vary greatly depending on the breed.

[0003] Clothing patterns for humans are mainly created using a method that uses a "prototype" that standardizes body shapes to a certain extent, but because bipedal humans have limbs that are positioned to the side of the body, and because quadrupedal animals have limbs that point downward in relation to the body, they cannot be created using a human "prototype."

[0004] When considering dogs, which are a typical quadrupedal animal that wears clothing, many of the conventional patterns for dog clothing are provided based on reference values ​​for various sizes and body shape balances from representative dog breeds, and there was an issue that no established method for designing patterns to fit individual individuals had been established. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 58-004806 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] As mentioned above, clothing patterns for humans are mainly created using a method that uses a fixed template called a "prototype" that standardizes body shapes to a certain extent. However, since it is extremely difficult to standardize the body shapes of dogs, which have significant differences in physique and body balance, it is not appropriate to adopt a method that uses a fixed template called a "prototype."

[0007] In addition, many conventional dog clothing patterns are provided based on reference values ​​for the balance of various sizes and body shapes of representative dog breeds, but since there are many dogs whose body shapes are far removed from the reference values, in order to produce clothing that fits well, it is necessary to try on the clothes that have been made, check for any parts that do not fit, make corrections to the pattern, and repeat the process of trying on, checking, and re-adjusting until the right fitting clothing is finally completed, which is an extremely time-consuming process.

[0008] Therefore, the present invention provides a method for designing clothing patterns for quadrupedal animals that does not use a fixed model called a "prototype," but rather allows detailed measurements of each individual's body shape and allows the pattern to be fitted to each individual. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The method for designing a clothing pattern for a quadrupedal animal of the present invention comprises the steps of: A method for designing a clothing pattern for a quadruped animal, the clothing pattern having an upper body pattern, a lower body pattern, and a raglan sleeve pattern having a shoulder cover portion, comprising the steps of: Drawing an upper body pattern having a neckline of an upper body and an upper body joining curve that bulges upward from a lower end of the neckline of the upper body in a side view; A lower body pattern is drawn having a neckline of the lower body and a lower body joining curve that bulges downward from an upper end of the neckline of the lower body in a side view; When designing the pattern for the raglan sleeve shoulder covering, A neckline of the raglan sleeve is drawn so as to be continuous with the neckline of the upper body and the neckline of the lower body in a side view; In a side view, a raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) is drawn from the neckline of the raglan sleeve along the inclination direction of the humerus of a quadruped animal; In a side view, a straight line (straight line b5-b6) perpendicular to the raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) is drawn, the straight line having the same length as the circumference of the lower end of the shoulder cover part, so that the length below the raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) is longer than the length above the raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1); In a side view, a raglan sleeve upper joining curve is drawn from the upper end of the neckline of the raglan sleeve to the upper end of the orthogonal straight line (straight line b5-b6) and has the same length as the upper body joining curve, bulging downward; In a side view, a raglan sleeve joining curve is drawn from the bottom end of the neckline of the raglan sleeve to the bottom end of the orthogonal straight line (straight line b5-b6) that bulges upward and has the same length as the lower body joining curve. It is characterized by: Effect of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] Embodiment 1. A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below. The pattern design method described below can be realized by using a computer. A computer comprises hardware such as a processor, a memory, an auxiliary storage device, and an input / output interface. These pieces of hardware are connected to each other via signal lines.

[0013] A processor is an IC that performs arithmetic processing and controls other hardware. For example, a processor is a CPU. IC is an abbreviation for Integrated Circuit. CPU is an abbreviation for Central Processing Unit.

[0014] A memory is a volatile or non-volatile storage device. A memory is also called a primary storage device or a main memory. For example, a memory is a RAM. Data stored in a memory is saved in a secondary storage device as needed. RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory.

[0015] The auxiliary storage device is a non-volatile storage device. For example, the auxiliary storage device is a ROM, a HDD, a flash memory, or a combination of these. Data stored in the auxiliary storage device is loaded into the memory as needed. ROM is an abbreviation for Read Only Memory. HDD is an abbreviation for Hard Disk Drive.

[0016] An input / output interface is a port to which an input device and an output device are connected. For example, an input / output interface is a USB terminal, the input device is a keyboard and a mouse, and the output device is a display device. Input and output of a computer is performed using an input / output interface. USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus.

[0017] The computer is equipped with a drawing program, which is software.

[0018] The drawing program is loaded into memory and executed by the processor. The auxiliary storage device also stores an OS, at least a portion of which is loaded into the memory and executed by the processor. The processor executes the drawing program while executing the OS. OS is an abbreviation for Operating System.

[0019] Input and output data of the drawing program are stored in the memory unit. The memory functions as a storage unit. However, a storage unit such as an auxiliary storage unit, a register in a processor, or a cache memory in a processor may function as a storage unit instead of or in addition to the memory.

[0020] The operations described below are operations performed by a pattern designer using a drawing program. Specifically, it is an operation in which a pattern designer uses a keyboard and a mouse to draw a pattern consisting of straight lines and curves on the screen of a display device by using a drawing program. The actions of "drawing," "connecting," "making," and "constructing" described below are actions in which a pattern designer uses a keyboard and mouse to draw a pattern consisting of points, straight lines, and curves on the screen of a display device using a drawing program. The actions such as "drawing," "connecting," "making," and "constituting" described below refer to a "drawing step," "connecting step," "making step," and "constituting step" in the pattern design method, and to "drawing means," "connecting means," "making means," and "constituting means" in the pattern design device. The drawing program shall have at least the following functions: 1.A function that allows you to specify two points and draw a line segment between the two points or a straight line passing through the two points. 2.A function that allows you to specify a point, angle and length to draw a straight line from that point. 3. A function to draw a curve (spline curve) passing through three points (multiple points) by specifying three points (multiple points).

[0021] The method for designing clothing patterns for quadrupedal animals according to this embodiment is characterized in that a pattern that fits the body shape of a quadrupedal animal is designed using the measured neck angle. This embodiment is for designing clothing for four-legged animals, and one of its features is that the raglan sleeves, pants, and hood are designed in one piece based on the drawing for a sleeveless T-shirt. First, to explain the design method, the development process from a sleeveless T-shirt to a T-shirt with raglan sleeves (hereafter referred to as a raglan T-shirt), a garment with pants (hereafter referred to as a romper), and a garment with a hood is shown in Figure 1. The hood is attached to all garments, including the sleeveless T-shirt, raglan T-shirt, and romper. In this embodiment, a dog is used as a model to represent a quadruped animal, but other animals such as cats, rabbits, pigs, raccoon dogs, horses, cows, sheep, tigers, elephants, and giraffes may also be used as quadruped animals. The pattern for the body is based on the assumption that the fabric will be folded in half before cutting, and the neck, chest, and waist measurements are set to half of the actual measurements, with the upper and lower body designed in a 7:3 ratio. The design method of this embodiment makes it possible to create a shape that easily fits the body shape of a quadrupedal animal, which has a vertically long oval shape from back to belly. For simplicity, the pattern design method of this embodiment will be explained only for the left side of the body (the left side when viewed from directly above the body), and the right side of the body is assumed to be symmetrical with the left side with respect to the fold line for folding in half, and the center point for folding in half is represented as a "wa". Also, the solid lines in the figures are the outer perimeter of the pattern, and the dashed lines are guide lines that serve as the basis for design.

[0022] Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the measurement points of the body. The size of the animal is measured according to the measurement points shown in this diagram. In Figure 2, the numbers indicate the following measurement points: 1 Hood circumference, 2 Neck circumference, 3 Length, 4 Neck to chest, 5 Chest circumference, 6 Abdomen length, 7 Waist circumference, 8 Chest length, 9 Forelimb sleeve length, 10 Abdomen length (male), 11 Thigh circumference, 12 Pant length, 13 Hind leg hem circumference, 14 Chest width, 15 Neck circumference inclination angle, 16 Shoulder line inclination angle, 17 Chest length inclination angle, 18 Humerus inclination angle.

[0023] The neck circumference 2 is the circumference of the neck in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the neck (or the direction of the cervical vertebrae). Length 3 is the length from the base of the neck to the base of the tailbone. The neck inclination angle 15 is the measurement of the obtuse angle of the neck relative to the horizontal in a side view. The shoulder line inclination angle 16 is set as an obtuse angle (between 90 and 110 degrees) of the inclination of the shoulder line relative to the neck circumference in a side view. Chest length inclination angle 17 is the measurement of the obtuse angle of inclination of chest length relative to neck circumference in a side view. Hereinafter, at least one of the neck circumference inclination angle 15, the shoulder line inclination angle 16, and the chest length inclination angle 17 will be referred to as the neck circumference angle. Humeral inclination angle 18 is the measurement of the acute angle of the humerus relative to the horizontal in a lateral view. The measurement values ​​of the measurement points in Fig. 2 are input to a processor using an input device such as a keyboard. Alternatively, the measurement values ​​of the measurement points in Fig. 2 may be input online to a computer running a drawing program via a communication line. Alternatively, the measurement values ​​of the measurement points in Fig. 2 may be input to a computer running a drawing program in the form of an electronic file such as a CSV file, a spreadsheet file, or a text file.

[0024] The design patterns shown in FIG. 3 and subsequent figures are right side views when the body is viewed from the front. Hereinafter, the side view pattern refers to the right side view pattern seen from the right side with the face facing forward. The left side view pattern is symmetrical to the right side view pattern with respect to the fold line that folds in half.

[0025] ●●●Upper body design steps●●● FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a design method that serves as a basis for pattern design. First, to design the upper body, refer to Figure 3 and define the line AB using the measurement value of 3 in Figure 2, and connect it with a solid straight line. The line AB is called the upper body baseline. The upper body baseline is the horizontal line at the top of the upper body pattern when viewed from the side.

[0026] Let C be the point when you descend vertically from A to any point, and starting from C, let D be the point that you reach horizontally to the right, based on the measurement value of 4 in Figure 2, and connect C and D with a straight dashed line.

[0027] The point directly above D on the line AB is called E, and the point perpendicular to E that is determined by the upper body part of the measurement value of 5 in Figure 2 is called F (the point that is 70% of the measurement value of 5 in Figure 2 divided by 2), and E and F are connected by a straight dashed line. F is the point that determines the armpit of the upper body, the lowest point of the chest length measurement, and the boundary point between the front legs and the chest.

[0028] Starting from an arbitrary point G on the dashed line EF, let the point H be the point that is reached horizontally to the right, which is determined by the measurement value 6 in Figure 2, and connect G and H with a straight dashed line.

[0029] Let I be the point directly above H on the line AB, and let J be the point determined vertically from I by the upper body portion of the measurement value of 7 in Figure 2 (the point that is 70% of the measurement value of 7 in Figure 2 divided by 2), and connect I and J with a straight dashed line.

[0030] Connect F and J with a straight solid line, and this straight line FJ will be the line where the lower body is joined.

[0031] Starting from A, from the line AB at the measurement angle of 15 in Figure 2, the point to be reached for the upper body part of the measurement value of 2 in Figure 2 (the point that is 70% of the measurement value of 2 divided by 2) is called K, and A and K are connected by a straight dashed line. This straight line AK is the neck circumference inclination angle line.

[0032] Starting from K, the point L is the length you want to set as the shoulder seam line of the sleeveless T-shirt at the measurement angle of 16 in Figure 2 from the straight line AB, and connect K and L with a straight solid line. This straight line KL is the shoulder line (shoulder line inclination line) of the sleeveless T-shirt on the upper body side.

[0033] Connect L and F with a straight dashed line, and call the midpoint of line LF x1. Starting at x1, define a line EF perpendicular to line LF by multiplying its length by 0.25, and call the end point x2. Connect LF with a solid curved line that passes through x2. This curve LF will be the armhole of the sleeveless T-shirt.

[0034] Let M be the point on the line FJ that is from J toward F by the value obtained by multiplying the length of the line IJ by 0.12. Define the value obtained by multiplying the length of the line IJ by 0.07 as a point directly above J, and define the point at which it reaches as x3. Connect B and x3 with a dashed straight line, and define the midpoint of the line B-x3 as x4. Starting from x4, define the value obtained by multiplying the length of the line IJ by 0.25 at a right angle to the line BJ, and define the point at which it reaches as x5. Connect B-x3 with a solid curved line that passes through x5. Connect M and x3 with a solid curved line that smoothly connects to the curve B-x3. The curve BM formed here forms the upper body part around the hem of the sleeveless T-shirt and raglan sleeve T-shirt.

[0035] ●●●Lower body design steps●●● Next, the lower body is designed. The starting point of F is N, and the point O is perpendicular to N, which is the lower body part of the measurement value of 5 in Figure 2. Connect N and O with a straight broken line. The ratio of the line EF to the line NO is 7:3.

[0036] Starting from O, let P be the point where it intersects horizontally to the right and vertically below I, and connect O and P with a straight solid line.

[0037] Directly above P is the point Q, which is determined by the lower body measurement of 7 in Figure 2. Connect P and Q with a straight dashed line so that the ratio of line IJ to line PQ is 7:3.

[0038] Connect N and Q with a straight solid line, and this straight line NQ will be the line that joins the upper body.

[0039] Starting from O, go horizontally to the left to the point R that is determined by the measurement value of 8 in Figure 2, and connect O and R with a straight solid line. The straight line RP is called the lower body baseline. The lower body baseline is the horizontal line at the bottom of the lower body pattern when viewed from the side.

[0040] Starting from R, the point S is the point determined by the measurement angle of 17 in Figure 2 from the straight line OR and the measurement value of 2 in Figure 2 for the lower body, and connect R and S with a straight dashed line. The ratio of the straight lines AK and RS is 7:3. This straight line RS is the chest-length inclination angle line.

[0041] Starting from S, the point T is determined by adding 10 degrees to the measured angle 17 in Figure 2 from the line RS and using the same numerical values ​​as for line KL. S and T are connected by a solid straight line. This straight line ST is the shoulder line (shoulder line slope) of the sleeveless T-shirt on the lower body side, and is the line that joins with the straight line KL.

[0042] On the line OR, define a vertical point U from the midpoint between T and N, and define the value obtained by dividing the measurement value of 14 in Figure 3 by 2 at a right angle above the line OR, and define the point V as the chest width point.

[0043] FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram in which the lower body diagram is rotated so that a straight line NQ joins a straight line FJ starting from FN.

[0044] Let the point where the measurement value of 10 in Figure 2 is determined be X, and connect M and X with a straight broken line, and let the midpoint of the line MX be x6. Connect M and X with a curved solid line that intersects at x6. In this case, the curve Take care to ensure that the line connects smoothly with the BM. Also, starting from M, draw a straight dashed line that is inclined 9 degrees to the left from the line QP to the line OP, and the point where it reaches is W. A line is drawn from M to W that smoothly connects with the curve BM. The curve MX is the outer periphery line of the lower body for males, and the curve MW is the outer periphery line of the lower body for females, and the curves connecting from B form the hem circumference of the sleeveless T-shirt and raglan sleeve T-shirt.

[0045] Starting from N, connect it to V with a solid curved line in the shape shown in Figure 4. This curve NV will be part of the armhole of the sleeveless T-shirt, so care should be taken to connect it smoothly to the curve LF.

[0046] Figure 5 is an explanatory diagram of the lower body being positioned so that the straight line ST joins the straight line KL, and this joining line forms the shoulder line of the sleeveless T-shirt. Then, starting from T, connect to V with a solid curved line in the shape shown in Figure 5. This curve TV will be part of the armhole of the sleeveless T-shirt, so care should be taken to ensure that it smoothly connects to the curve LF.

[0047] Connect A and R with a gently curved solid line passing through point KS, and let the neck curve on the upper body side be curve AK, the neck curve on the lower body side be curve RS, and the neck curve combining the upper and lower body sides be curve AR. The solid lines in Figure 5 define the circumference of the sleeveless T-shirt.

[0048] ●●●Raglan sleeve design steps●●● The raglan sleeves are designed based on the drawing in Figure 5, in which the shoulder lines of the upper and lower body pieces are aligned. The raglan sleeve has a shoulder cover that covers the shoulder and a sleeve that covers the front leg. After sewing, the lower end of the shoulder cover becomes the upper end of the sleeve, and the lower end of the shoulder cover and the upper end of the sleeve form a ring. After sewing, the sleeve becomes cylindrical or tubular from the upper end to the lower end.

[0049] FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing the joining points of raglan sleeves to the upper and lower body parts of FIG. The midpoint between the curves AK is defined as a1, and the midpoint between the curves SR is defined as a2. The curve A-a1 is the neckline of the upper body of the raglan T-shirt. The curve a2-R is the neckline of the lower body of the raglan T-shirt. The upper body is connected by a solid curved line from a1 to F, with the curve near F following the curve LF. The curve a1-F is the upper body joining curve with the raglan sleeve. The upper body joining curve is an upward convex curve that passes outside the armhole (curve LF) of the sleeveless T-shirt. The lower body is connected by a solid curved line from a2 to N, with the curve near N following the curve TN. The curve a2-N is the lower body joining curve with the raglan sleeve. The lower body joining curve is a downward convex curve that passes outside the armhole (curve TVN) of the sleeveless T-shirt.

[0050] FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a design method of the raglan sleeve installed on the garment shown in FIG. The following assumptions must be made when designing a raglan sleeve. When designing a raglan sleeve, it is not necessary to display Fig. 6 on the screen and draw the raglan sleeve on top of Fig. 6. For ease of explanation, we will explain the case where Fig. 6 is displayed on the screen as in Fig. 7 and the raglan sleeve is drawn on top of Fig. 6. ***Premise*** As a premise for designing the raglan sleeve, it is assumed that the following has already been designed or is known: 1. An upper body pattern having, when viewed from the side, a raglan T-shirt upper body neckline (curve A-a1) and an upper body joining curve that bulges upward from the lower end (point a1) of the upper body neckline. 2. A lower body pattern having, when viewed from the side, a raglan T-shirt lower body neckline (curve a2-R) and a lower body joining curve that bulges downward from the upper end (point a2) of the lower body neckline. 3. The positional relationship between the neckline (curve AR) of the upper body of the raglan T-shirt (curve A-a1) and the neckline (curve a2-R) of the lower body of the raglan T-shirt

[0051] ***Raglan sleeve neckline (curve a1-a2)*** In a side view, draw the neckline of the raglan sleeve that is continuous with the neckline of the upper body and the neckline of the lower body. Specifically, connect a1 and a2 with a curved solid line that follows the curve AR. The curve a1-a2 is the neckline of the raglan sleeve. The neckline of the raglan sleeve (curve a1-a2) can be drawn based on the positional relationship between the neckline of the upper body of the raglan T-shirt (curve A-a1) and the neckline of the lower body of the raglan T-shirt (curve a2-R) on the neckline (curve AR).

[0052] ***Raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1)*** In a side view, a raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) is drawn from the neckline of the raglan sleeve along the inclination direction of the humerus of a quadruped animal. Specifically, a straight line is drawn starting from point a1 at the top end of the neckline of the raglan sleeve, inclining downward at the same angle as the inclination angle 18 of the humerus, with a length that exceeds point F, and the point that it reaches is b1, and the straight line is connected by a straight broken line. This straight line a1-b1 is the raglan sleeve inclination reference line. Since the humerus is inside the animal's body, the inclination angle 18 of the humerus may not be accurate. In many cases, the inclination angle of the humerus is close to the angle obtained by dividing the measurement angle 15 in Figure 2 by 2, so it is also possible to specify a length beyond point F at an angle obtained by dividing the measurement angle 15 in Figure 2 by 2 with respect to the horizontal direction, starting from point a1 at the top end of the neckline of the raglan sleeve, and connect the point to b1 with a straight dashed line. This straight line a1-b1 is the raglan sleeve inclination reference line.

[0053] ***Orthogonal line (line b5-b6)*** In side view, an orthogonal line (straight line b5-b6) that is perpendicular to the raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) and has a length equal to the circumference of the lower end of the shoulder cover part is drawn so that the length below the raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) is longer than the length above the raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1).

[0054] Preferably, the orthogonal straight line (straight line b5-b6) is drawn as follows: Starting from a1, a straight dashed line connects to a point b2 that is vertically downward and extends beyond point F.

[0055] Starting from F, draw a straight dashed line horizontally toward the line a1-b2, and the end point is b3. This straight line b3-F is the sleeve diameter. The sleeve diameter does not mean the diameter of the tubular sleeve, but the width of the tubular sleeve when folded flat. The sleeve diameter is half the length around the bottom end of the shoulder cover (the circumference of the bottom end of the shoulder cover) and half the length around the upper sleeve (the circumference of the upper end of the sleeve).

[0056] Starting from F, a value obtained by multiplying the length of the line EF by 0.08 is defined on the line EF, and the end point is point a3. Draw a dashed straight line at a right angle to the line a1-b1, passing through a3, with a length determined by multiplying twice the length of the line b3-F by 0.3. Let the starting point of this line be b4 and the final point be b5.

[0057] Next, starting from b4, draw a dashed straight line at a right angle to the left of the line a1-b1, defining a length equal to twice the length of the line b3-F multiplied by 0.7, and connect the line to the point b6. The orthogonal straight line (straight line b5-b6) is a straight line whose length is the same as the circumference of the lower end of the shoulder cover part. The perpendicular straight line (straight line b5-b6) is the circumference of the lower end of the shoulder cover and the upper sleeve circumference of the sleeve. The upper sleeve circumference refers to the circumference of the upper end of the tubular sleeve of the raglan sleeve that covers the circumference of the front leg.

[0058] The ratio of the length of the orthogonal straight line (straight line b5-b6) from the raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) to the length of the straight line (straight line b4-b6) from the raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) to the straight line (straight line b4-b5) above is preferably 7:3, but may be 6:4, 8:2, or an intermediate ratio between 6:4 and 8:2. It is desirable that the length of the lower straight line (straight line b4-b6) is at least twice the length of the upper straight line (straight line b4-b5) (length of the lower straight line (straight line b4-b6) ≧ length of the upper straight line (straight line b4-b5) * 2).

[0059] The reason why the length below the raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) is drawn longer than the length above the raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) will be explained using 7:3 as an example. Since point b5 becomes point F after sewing, the upper length 3 is the part that covers the outside of the body from point F to the vicinity of the lower end of the humerus (i.e., the upper end of the forelimb connected to the lower end of the humerus). A part that covers the inside of the body from point F to the vicinity of the lower end of the humerus (i.e., the upper end of the forelimb connected to the lower end of the humerus) is also necessary, and its length is 3. In addition, a part that covers the front of the lower end of the humerus (i.e., the upper end of the forelimb connected to the lower end of the humerus) is required. If this part is 4, the ratio of the length of the orthogonal straight line (straight line b5-b6) from the raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) to the length of the straight line (straight line b4-b6) from the raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) to the straight line (straight line b4-b5) above is 7:3. That is, the lower straight line (straight line b4-b6) is longer than the upper straight line (straight line b4-b5) by the length of the portion covering the front surface of the lower end of the humerus (i.e., the upper end of the forelimb connected to the lower end of the humerus). For example, if the portion covering the front surface of the lower end of the humerus (i.e., the upper end of the forelimb connected to the lower end of the humerus) is 2, the ratio of the length of the orthogonal straight line (straight line b5-b6) from the raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) to the length of the straight line (straight line b4-b6) from the raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) to the straight line (straight line b4-b5) is (3+2) to 3.

[0060] ***Raglan sleeve upper joining curve (curve a1-x7-x8-b5)*** In side view, a raglan sleeve upper joining curve is drawn from the upper end of the raglan sleeve neckline to the upper end of the orthogonal straight line (straight line b5-b6) and has the same length as the upper body joining curve, bulging downward. As an example, the midpoint of the curves a1-a3 is x7, and the midpoint of the curves x7-a3 is x8, and a solid curved line is drawn from a1 to b5, intersecting at x7 and x8. The curve a1-x7-x8-b5 can be drawn using a drawing program, and is a spline curve that passes through the four points a1, x7, x8, and b5. The curve a1-x7-x8-b5 is the joining line of the upper raglan sleeve on the upper body side. The length of the curve a1-x7-x8-b5 is the same as or almost the same as the length of the upper body joining curve (curve a1-F). If the length of the curve a1-x7-x8-b5 is shorter than the length of the upper body joining curve (curve a1-F), extend the curve a1-x7-x8-b5 from point b5 so that the length of the curve a1-x7-x8-b5 matches the length of the upper body joining curve (curve a1-F). Conversely, if the length of the curve a1-x7-x8-b5 is longer than the length of the upper body joining curve (curve a1-F), the curve a1-x7-x8-b5 ends just before point b5 so that the length of the curve a1-x7-x8-b5 matches the length of the upper body joining curve (curve a1-F).

[0061] ***Raglan lower sleeve joining curve (curve A2-X9-B6)*** In side view, a raglan sleeve underside joining curve is drawn from the lower end of the raglan sleeve neckline to the lower end of the orthogonal straight line (straight line b5-b6) and has the same length as the lower body joining curve, bulging upward. As an example, the point where the line RO and the line b4-b6 intersect is designated as x9, and a solid curved line is drawn from a2 to b6, intersecting at x9. The curve a2-x9-b6 can be drawn using a drawing program and is a spline curve that passes through the three points a2, x9, and b6. The curve a2-x9-b6 becomes the raglan sleeve joining line on the lower body side. The length of the curve a2-x9-b6 is the same as or almost the same as the length of the lower body joining curve (curve a2-N). If, as a result of measurement using the drawing program, the length of the curve a2-x9-b6 is shorter than the length of the lower body joining curve (curve a2-N), extend the curve a2-x9-b6 from point b6 so that the length of the curve a2-x9-b6 matches the length of the lower body joining curve (curve a2-N). If, as a result of measurement using the drawing program, the length of the curve a2-x9-b6 is longer than the length of the lower body joining curve (curve a2-N), then end the curve a2-x9-b6 just before point b6 so that the length of the curve a2-x9-b6 matches the length of the lower body joining curve (curve a2-N).

[0062] ●Concave curve (curve x9-b6) The curve x9-b6 is a concave curve that is recessed downward from the orthogonal straight line (straight line b5-b6), and is a portion that is recessed downward from the upper end of the sleeve formed by the orthogonal straight line (straight line b5-b6) after sewing. Due to the presence of the concave curve (curve x9-b6), a recess is formed at the upper end of the sleeve more inward than point F in front view. The reason that a recess is formed at the upper end of the sleeve more inward than point F is because the body is circular or elliptical in front view, and therefore the inner upper ends of the forelimbs are connected to the body at a lower position than the outer upper ends of the forelimbs.

[0063] ●Raglan lower sleeve joining curve (curve a2-b6) The raglan underarm joining curve may be drawn without using point x9. If you do not use point x9, specify the following in your drawing program to draw the curve: 1. Length of curve a2-N 2. Position of point a2 3. Position of point b6 4. The curve that intersects with the line b5-b6 If the drawing program cannot automatically generate the curve that intersects with line b5-b6, a human can look at the screen and use a mouse to manipulate the curve drawn by the drawing program that meets the conditions in 1.2.3 above to change it to a curve that intersects with line b5-b6 (or select a curve that intersects with line b5-b6 or generate a curve that intersects with line b5-b6).

[0064] In addition, the length of the raglan sleeve upper joining line on the upper body side (curve a1-x7-x8-b5) can be specified using a drawing program so that the length of the curve a1-x7-x8-b5 matches the length of the upper body joining curve (curve a1-F), and the raglan sleeve upper joining line on the upper body side can be drawn to match the length of the upper body joining curve (curve a1-F). The length of the raglan underarm joining line on the lower body side (curve a2-x9-b6) may be specified using a drawing program so that the length of the curve a2-x9-b6 matches the length of the lower body joining curve (curve a2-N), and a raglan underarm joining line on the lower body side may be drawn that matches the length of the upper body joining curve (curve a1-F). This completes the pattern design for the shoulder covering portion of the raglan sleeve.

[0065] ***Raglan sleeves (b5-b8-x10-b10-b6)*** Below, we will explain how to draw a line that forms the sleeve portion of the raglan sleeve from the lower ends of the raglan sleeve upper joining curve and the raglan sleeve lower joining curve in a side view. The point b7, which specifies the measurement value of 9 in Figure 2, is perpendicular to the straight line b4-b5, and is connected by a straight dashed line.

[0066] Starting at b7, a straight line b3-F is drawn at a right angle to the left of the line b5-b7, and the final point is b8, which is determined by multiplying the line b3-F by 0.2, and this is connected by a dashed straight line.

[0067] Connect b5 and b8 with a straight solid line.

[0068] The point b9 is perpendicular to the line b4-b6 and is determined by the same numerical values ​​as the line b5-b7, and is connected by a straight dashed line.

[0069] Starting from b9, the line b7-b8 extends at a right angle to the right of the line b6-b9, and the end point b10 is defined as the same numerical value as the line b7-b8, and these points are connected by a straight dashed line.

[0070] Connect b6 and b10 with a straight solid line.

[0071] Connect b8 and b10 with a straight broken line, and with the midpoint of the line as the starting point, multiply the length of the line b8-b10 by 0.16 to define the length at a right angle above the line b8-b10, and define the point at which it reaches as x10. Then, connect b8 and b10 with a solid curved line that passes through x10. The curve b8-x10-b10 is the underarm circumference. The underarm circumference refers to the circumference of the bottom end of the sleeve part (tubular part) of the raglan sleeve that covers the circumference of the forelimb.

[0072] This completes the pattern design for the raglan sleeve. The area enclosed by the solid line in Figure 7 constitutes the raglan sleeve. The area enclosed by a1-FLN-a2-a1, which constitutes the sleeveless T-shirt, is not used in the raglan T-shirt.

[0073] ●●●Pants design steps●●● Figure 8 is an explanatory diagram showing the pants joints of the upper body, and the point where the length of line IJ multiplied by 0.1 is perpendicularly defined starting from B is called c1. A dashed line connects c1 and M, and the midpoint of the line is used as the starting point to define the length of line c1-M multiplied by 0.16 perpendicularly above line c1-M, and the point where the line reaches is called x11. Then, c1 and M are connected by a solid curved line passing through x11.

[0074] FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing a design method for pants placed on FIG. 8, in which curve c1-M is connected by a curved solid line to form the pants circumference.

[0075] From M, going horizontally to the right, the point c2 is determined by dividing the measurement value of 11 in Figure 2 by 4, and is connected by a straight dashed line.

[0076] A point c3 is reached perpendicularly from c2, specifying the measurement value of 12 in Figure 2, and is connected with a straight dashed line.

[0077] A point c4 is reached perpendicularly from c2, the point being determined by multiplying the line IJ by 0.16.

[0078] With c4 as the center, the starting point and the end point for determining the measurement value 11 in Figure 2 are c5 and c6, which are connected by a straight dashed line.

[0079] Connect c1 and c5 with a dashed straight line, and starting from the midpoint, define a length obtained by multiplying the length of the line c1-c5 by 0.14 vertically to the lower left of the line c1-c5, and define the end point as x12. Then, connect c1 and c5 with a solid curved line that passes through x12.

[0080] Connect M and c6 with a straight dashed line, and starting from one third of that length, a point closer to M, define a length equal to the length of the line c2-c4 multiplied by 0.37 vertically to the lower right of the line M-c6, and call the point where it reaches x13. Then, connect M and c6 with a solid curved line that passes through x13.

[0081] With c3 as the center, the starting point and the end point that define the measurement value of 13 in Figure 2 are c7 and c8, which are connected by a straight dashed line.

[0082] Connect c5 and c7, and c6 and c8 with straight solid lines.

[0083] Starting from c3, multiply the length of the line c7-c8 by 0.09 and define the length at a right angle above the line c7-c8, and define the point at which it reaches as x14. Then, connect b8 and b10 with a solid curved line that passes through x14.

[0084] The area enclosed by the solid line in FIG. 9 constitutes the pants.

[0085] ●●●Hood design steps●●● FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing a method for designing a hood. With reference to FIG. 10, a straight line d1-d2 is determined by dividing the measurement value of 1 in FIG. 2 by 2, and the line is connected by a straight dashed line.

[0086] Starting from d2, extend horizontally to the right of the straight line d1-d2 to the point d3, which is determined by dividing the measurement value of 2 in Figure 2 by 2, and connect these points with a straight dashed line.

[0087] Starting from d1, the end point is d4, which is determined by a number that is 3 degrees to the left of the line d1-d2 and slightly longer than the line d1-d2, and is connected by a solid straight line.

[0088] Starting from d3, a point d5 is reached that is 5 degrees downward from the line d2-d3 and slightly longer than the line d2-d3, and is connected by a dashed straight line. In this case, the point where the straight lines d1-d4 and d3-d5 intersect is designated as d6.

[0089] Set the midpoint of the line d3-d6 to x15, and connect d3 and d6 with a solid curved line that intersects at x15.

[0090] Starting from d1, draw a line that is 6 degrees upward from the line d2-d3, and starting from d3, draw a line that is 114 degrees left from the line d2-d3, and draw a dashed straight line to the point where the two lines intersect. This intersection point is x16. Starting from x16, draw a straight broken line from the center of the angle of x16, starting from d1, draw a straight broken line 12 degrees downward from the line d2-d3, and draw a straight broken line 8 degrees to the right of the line d1-d2, and connect them to the point where each of these three lines intersect. This intersecting point is called x17. Then, connect d1 and d3 with a solid curved line passing through x17.

[0091] The part enclosed by the solid line in Fig. 10 constitutes the hood. The hood can be attached to any garment, including sleeveless T-shirts, raglan T-shirts, and rompers.

[0092] Figure 11 is an explanatory diagram showing how to set a seam allowance of 7 to 10 mm outside the solid lines of all the parts that have been drawn so far. After setting the seam allowance, all designs are completed.

[0093] Advantages of the First Embodiment According to the first embodiment, the sleeve attachment angle after sewing of the upper and lower body parts and the raglan sleeves follows the angle of the humerus, and the sleeve length after sewing follows the angle of the forelimb.

[0094] Features of the First Embodiment The features of the first embodiment are as follows. This method uses a drawing program that runs on a computer having a processor, a keyboard, and a mouse to design a clothing pattern for a quadrupedal animal, which has an upper body pattern, a lower body pattern, and a raglan sleeve pattern, and is characterized in that the raglan sleeve is designed in such a way that the body is sewn in a straight line from the body to the sleeve, in accordance with the angle of inclination of the neck circumference based on the angle from the upper arm bone to the forelimbs and the chest width.

[0095] Since the neck and limbs of quadrupedal animals face downward in relation to their bodies, the design of the robot is designed to follow this shape, making it easy for them to move.

[0096] Additionally, because quadrupedal animals do not have collarbones, their shoulders are not stretched out horizontally, so the sleeve shape is raglan sleeves, which gently slope from the neck to the feet.

[0097] It includes an upper body (dorsal side of the animal's body), a lower body (ventral side of the animal's body), raglan sleeves (forelimbs), pants (hind legs), and a hood, with the sleeves and pants positioned to form a shape that follows the dog's four limbs, and the neck circumference, chest circumference, waist circumference, body length, chest length, chest width, thigh circumference, pant length, hind leg hem length, shoulder line, chest length angle, etc. are designed to fit the body shape of each quadrupedal animal, and the raglan sleeves, pants, and hood are designed as a series based on the drawing for the sleeveless T-shirt.

[0098] In particular, the method for designing clothing patterns for quadrupedal animals in embodiment 1 is a design method using a computer, which is characterized in that the measured length and the measured angle around the neck are input from a keyboard, the measured length and the measured angle around the neck are stored in memory, and the length and angle around the neck stored in memory are used to draw straight lines and curves on a display by a processor, so that a pattern that fits the body shape of the quadrupedal animal is displayed on the display and the pattern is stored in memory.

[0099] The clothing pattern for quadrupedal animals has an upper body pattern having an upper body baseline, As the angle of the neck, the angle of inclination of the neck with respect to the horizontal line in a side view is inputted from a keyboard; The neck curve of the upper body is drawn on a display based on the neck inclination angle relative to the upper body baseline.

[0100] The clothing pattern for quadrupedal animals has a lower body pattern having a lower body baseline, As the angle of the neck circumference, the inclination angle of the chest length relative to the neck circumference in a side view is inputted from a keyboard; The neck circumference curve of the lower body is drawn on a display based on the chest-length inclination angle relative to the lower body baseline.

[0101] The clothing pattern for quadrupedal animals has an upper body pattern and a lower body pattern, As the angle of the neck circumference, the inclination angle of the shoulder line relative to the neck circumference in a side view is inputted from a keyboard, The shoulder line that joins the upper body and the lower body is drawn on the display by the inclination angle of the shoulder line.

[0102] According to the method for designing clothing patterns for quadrupedal animals of this embodiment, it is possible to design patterns that fit each individual animal, which has a wide range of physical differences and large differences in the balance of their body shapes.

[0103] The method for designing a clothing pattern for a quadrupedal animal of this embodiment is a method for designing a clothing pattern for a quadrupedal animal having an upper body pattern, a lower body pattern, and a raglan sleeve pattern as described below. Upper body pattern An upper body pattern is designed which is defined by a neck inclination angle line (straight line AK) based on a neck inclination angle 15 of the neck relative to the horizontal line in a side view, a shoulder line inclination line (straight line KL) based on an inclination angle 16 of the shoulder line relative to the neck inclination angle line (straight line AK) in a side view, and a point F which defines the armpit of the upper body. ●Lower body pattern A lower body pattern is designed which is defined by a chest length inclination angle line (straight line RS) based on the chest length inclination angle 17 relative to the neck circumference inclination angle line (straight line AK) in a side view, a shoulder line inclination line (straight line ST) based on the chest length inclination angle 17 relative to the neck circumference inclination angle line (straight line RS) in a side view, and a chest width point (point V) obtained by dividing the chest width 14 by 2. ●Raglan sleeve pattern The shoulder line inclination line (straight line KL) of the upper body and the shoulder line inclination line (straight line ST) of the lower body are joined at point K and point S to define a curve passing through point A, point K (point S) and point R as a neck circumference curve (curve AK(S)-R), the neck circumference curve on the upper body side is curve AK, and the neck circumference curve on the lower body side is curve RS, A raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) is defined by dividing the neck inclination angle by 2, starting from point a1 defined at the center of the upper body side neck curve (curve AK); Furthermore, the distance between a straight line a1-b2 drawn vertically downward from point a1 and point F, which defines the armpit of the upper body, is defined as the sleeve diameter (straight line b3-F), and the sleeve diameter is multiplied by 2 to define the sleeve width (straight line b5-b6) at a ratio of 3:7 on the upper body side and lower body side to the left and right in the perpendicular direction from the raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1), Starting from point F, the length of the chest circumference divided by 2 in the vertical upward direction is multiplied by 0.08 to define the value, and the end point is a3. The midpoint of the curve a1-a3 is the point x7, and the midpoint of the curve x7-a3 is the point x8. From point a1 to point b5, connect the solid curved lines that intersect at points x7 and x8 to form the raglan sleeve joining line (curve a1-x7-x8-b5) on the upper body side. Starting from point a2 defined in the center of the lower body neckline curve (curve RS), the point where the lower body baseline (straight line RP) and the straight line b5-b6 intersect is defined as x9. A solid curved line intersecting at point x9 is drawn from point a2 to point b6 to form a raglan sleeve joint line (curve a2-x8-b6) on the lower body side. The points a1 and a2 are connected with a solid curved line along the neckline curve (curve AK(S)-R) to form the raglan sleeve neckline (curve a1-a2); A point b7 is defined as a point perpendicular to the line b5-b6, which specifies the measurement of the sleeve length 9 of the front leg. A point b8 is defined as a point that specifies the value of the line b3-F multiplied by 0.2, which is perpendicular to the line b5-b6 and starts from the point b7 and is connected to the left of the line b5-b7 at a right angle. A solid straight line connects points b5 and b8 to form one of the lines that will be sewn together to make a loop out of the sleeve. A line b9 is defined as a point determined by a line b5-b7 perpendicular to the line b5-b6 and the measurement value of the sleeve length 9 of the front leg. A line b10 is defined as a point determined by a line b3-F multiplied by 0.2, which is perpendicular to the line b6-b9 and starts from the point b9. A solid straight line connects the points b6 and b10 to form the other line that is sewn together to make a loop out of the sleeve. The straight lines b5-b8 and b6-b10 are stitching lines for making the sleeve into a tubular shape. Starting from the midpoint between points b8 and b10, the length of the straight line b8-b10 multiplied by 0.16 is defined in the upward perpendicular direction to the straight line b8-b10, and the point at which it reaches is point x10. Points b8 and b10 are connected by a solid curved line passing through point x10, which forms the sleeve circumference of the raglan sleeve (curve b8-x10-b10). The lines bounded by a1-b5-b8-b10-b6-a2-a1 form the raglan sleeve.

[0104] The method for designing a clothing pattern for a quadrupedal animal of this embodiment is a method for designing a clothing pattern for a quadrupedal animal having an upper body pattern, a lower body pattern, and a raglan sleeve pattern as described below. Upper body pattern An upper body pattern is designed which is defined by a neck inclination angle line (straight line AK) based on a neck inclination angle 15 of the neck relative to the horizontal line in a side view, a shoulder line inclination line (straight line KL) based on an inclination angle 16 of the shoulder line relative to the neck inclination angle line (straight line AK) in a side view, and a point F which defines the armpit of the upper body. ●Lower body pattern A lower body pattern is designed which is defined by a chest length inclination angle line (straight line RS) based on the chest length inclination angle 17 relative to the neck circumference inclination angle line (straight line AK) in a side view, a shoulder line inclination line (straight line ST) based on the chest length inclination angle 17 relative to the neck circumference inclination angle line (straight line RS) in a side view, and a chest width point (point V) obtained by dividing the chest width 14 by 2. ● Curved neck pattern By joining the shoulder line inclination line (straight line KL) of the upper body and the shoulder line inclination line (straight line ST) of the lower body so that point K and point S coincide, a curve passing through point A, point K (point S), and point R is defined as a neck curve (curve AK(S)-R), and the neck curve on the upper body side is called the curve AK, and the neck curve on the lower body side is called the curve RS. Upper body joining curve pattern An upper body joining curve (curve a1-F) is defined as being convex upwards, starting from point a1 defined in the center of the upper body side neck circumference curve (curve AK) and extending along the armhole (curve LF) of the sleeveless T-shirt. ●Lower body joining curve pattern A downwardly convex lower body joining curve (curve a2-N) is defined so that it starts from point a2 defined in the center of the lower body side neck circumference curve (curve RS) and follows the armhole of the sleeveless T-shirt (curve T-chest width point (point V)-N).

[0105] ●●●Variation 1●●● The raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) does not have to be drawn from point a1. The raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) may be drawn from any point on the raglan sleeve neckline (curve a1-a2). For example, the raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) may be drawn from the midpoint of the raglan sleeve neckline (curve a1-a2). In that case, the ratio of the length of the straight line (straight line b4-b6) from the raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) to the straight line (straight line b4-b5) from the raglan sleeve inclination reference line (straight line a1-b1) to the straight line (straight line b4-b5) is not 7:3, but 6:4, for example, to reduce the difference in length between the straight line (straight line b4-b6) and the straight line (straight line b4-b5). However, the straight line (straight line b4-b6) on the lower side is not smaller than the straight line (straight line b4-b5) on the upper side (straight line b4-b5) (the length of the straight line (straight line b4-b6) ≧ the length of the straight line (straight line b4-b5) on the upper side).

[0106] Embodiment 2. A pattern may be generated by a pattern generation program instead of using a drawing program as in embodiment 1. In the pattern generation program, the sequence described in embodiment 1 is written as an algorithm. When the pattern generation program is started, it prompts you to input the measurement length and measurement angle shown in Figure 2. The measurement values ​​of the measurement points in Fig. 2 are input to a processor using an input device such as a keyboard. Alternatively, the measurement values ​​of the measurement points in Fig. 2 may be input online via a communication line to a computer running a drawing program and stored in a memory unit. Alternatively, the measurement values ​​of the measurement points in Fig. 2 may be input in the form of an electronic file such as a CSV file, a spreadsheet file, or a text file to a computer running a drawing program and stored in a memory unit. When the measurement length and measurement angle are input, the pattern generation program automatically generates a pattern in the order described in the first embodiment, and displays the pattern on the screen of the display device. When a pattern that has already been generated is to be changed, the pattern generation program accepts a change to a portion of the measurement length or a portion of the measurement angle, automatically generates a changed pattern, and displays the changed pattern on the screen of the display device. Instead of a pattern generation program, the macro functionality of a drawing program may be used to generate or modify patterns.

[0107] When the method for designing a clothing pattern for a quadrupedal animal of the second embodiment is operated by a pattern generation program, the computer that runs the pattern generation program serves as a design device for a clothing pattern for a quadrupedal animal. The device for designing clothing patterns for quadrupedal animals is characterized by using the angle around the neck to design a pattern that fits the body shape of the quadrupedal animal.

[0108] The clothing pattern for quadrupedal animals has an upper body pattern having an upper body baseline, The neck angle is an inclination angle of the neck with respect to the horizontal line in a side view, The device for designing clothing patterns for quadrupedal animals is characterized in that it draws a neck curve of the upper body according to the neck inclination angle relative to the upper body baseline.

[0109] The clothing pattern for quadrupedal animals has a lower body pattern having a lower body baseline, The neck circumference angle is a chest length inclination angle of the chest length relative to the neck circumference in a side view, The device for designing clothing patterns for quadrupedal animals is characterized in that the neck circumference curve of the lower body is drawn according to the chest length inclination angle with respect to the lower body base line.

[0110] The clothing pattern for quadrupedal animals has an upper body pattern and a lower body pattern, The neck angle is an inclination angle of the shoulder line relative to the neck in a side view, The device for designing clothing patterns for quadrupedal animals is characterized in that the shoulder line that joins the upper body and the lower body is drawn based on the above-mentioned shoulder line inclination angle.

[0111] Embodiment 3. The pattern may be drawn manually on a pattern paper without using a drawing program as in embodiment 1. Specifically, the pattern may be drawn on a pattern paper using a pen, a ruler, a protractor, and a compass in the order described in embodiment 1. [Explanation of symbols]
