Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an elastic waist belt comprising an elastic belt body and a fastening part for fastening the belt body into a belt shape, and to a garment with an elastic waist belt. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally used waist tightening belts are generally made of leather or thick fabric, with a buckle attached to one end, and the degree of tightening is often adjusted by the position of the holes, but with such belts it is sometimes impossible to finely adjust the degree of tightening. It is also known that for bottom garments such as slacks and jerseys, a string threading mechanism is provided in the waist portion of the bottom garment, and a tightening waist string is passed through to tighten the waist.

[0003] Furthermore, belts are also known that can be used to adjust the waist in two ways, with the buckle attached and with the buckle detached.

[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a belt that is composed of a belt main body and a short belt part with a detachable buckle between both ends, and has a folded part formed at one end of the belt band of the belt main body. With this belt, when the short belt part with a buckle is attached to the belt main body, it can be used in the same way as a conventional belt. On the other hand, when the short belt part with a buckle is removed, each folded part of the belt main body is folded back with the belt loops on both sides of the front opening part of the trousers sandwiched inside, and in this state, the hook-type concave button and the convex button are fitted together to maintain the folded state, and it can be used as a waist adjustment belt.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3163611 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] A garment that includes both a waist rubber band and a non-elastic string is known as a so-called elastic belt, but there is a problem in that it is troublesome to tie and untie the non-elastic string.

[0007] Furthermore, in order to use the belt described in Patent Document 1 in two different ways, with the buckle attached and with the buckle detached, it is necessary not only to remove the short belt portion with the buckle but also to fold back and secure the fold-back portion, which requires time and effort to distinguish between the two uses.

[0008] An object of the present disclosure is to provide an elastic waist belt and a garment with an elastic waist belt that allows for easy waist adjustment. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The elastic waist belt of the present disclosure is an elastic waist belt comprising a belt main body and a fixing part that fixes the belt main body in a belt shape. In this elastic waist belt, the belt main body has an elastic rubber part, and the fixing part fixes the belt main body in a belt shape when the rubber part of the belt main body is stretched.

[0010] Here, in the above elastic waist belt, the fixing parts may be made of string material and provided at both ends of the belt body, and may be engaged with fastening parts provided on the garment around which the belt body is wrapped, thereby fixing the belt body in a belt-like shape. Furthermore, in this case, the fixing parts may have stoppers configured to allow the string material to slide in the longitudinal direction, and the stoppers may be engaged with the fastening parts, thereby fixing the belt body in a belt-like shape.

[0011] In addition, in a garment with an elastic waist belt provided with the elastic waist belt described above, the fastening portion provided on the garment around which the belt body is wound may include a ring member. In this case, the stopper may be a pair of cord stoppers provided on both ends of the belt body, the pair of cord stoppers being connected by a connecting member, and the fastening portion may include a housing portion for housing the connecting member. Effect of the Invention

[0012] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide an elastic waist belt and clothing with an elastic waist belt that allows easy waist adjustment. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0013] [Figure 1] 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of an elastic waist belt and a garment with an elastic waist belt in a first embodiment. FIG. [Diagram 2] 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of an elastic waist belt that is fixed in a belt-like shape by a cord stopper being engaged with a ring member. FIG. [Diagram 3] 11A and 11B are diagrams for explaining the function of a connecting member. [Figure 4] FIG. 11 is a first diagram showing a schematic configuration of an elastic waist belt and a garment with an elastic waist belt in another modified example. [Diagram 5] FIG. 2 is a second diagram showing the schematic configuration of an elastic waist belt and a garment with an elastic waist belt in another modified example. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. The configurations of the following embodiments are merely examples, and the present disclosure is not limited to the configurations of the embodiments.

[0015] First Embodiment An overview of the elastic waist belt and clothing with an elastic waist belt in the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the schematic configuration of the elastic waist belt and clothing with an elastic waist belt in this embodiment. The elastic waist belt 1 in this embodiment is an elastic waist belt consisting of a belt main body 2 and a fixing part 3 that fixes the belt main body 2 in a belt-like shape, and the clothing with an elastic waist belt 10 in this embodiment is clothing provided with such an elastic waist belt 1.

[0016] The belt body 2 is made of a stretchable rubber part. As a result, when the stretchable waist belt 1 is not wrapped around the waist, the belt body 2 contracts, and when the stretchable waist belt 1 is wrapped around the waist, the belt body 2 expands.

[0017] Furthermore, since the elastic waist belt 1 has such an elastic belt main body 2, it appears that the waist part of the lower garment can be easily adjusted to fit the user.

[0018] However, if the waist part of the undergarment is to be fitted to the user using only the belt main body 2, the elastic force of the rubber part must be relatively strong, and depending on the user's condition, for example when full, there is a risk that the waist part will be tightened too much. On the other hand, if the elastic force of the rubber part is relatively weak, it may be difficult to fit the waist part of the undergarment to the user.

[0019] Therefore, the elastic waist belt 1 according to this embodiment further comprises a fixing part 3 that fixes the belt main body 2 in a band-like shape when the belt main body 2 is in an extended state. The fixing part 3 has an adjustment means (a stopper, described later) that adjusts the extended state of the fixed belt main body 2. This allows the waist part of the underwear to be fitted appropriately to the user by using the adjustment means of the fixing part 3, even if the elasticity of the belt main body 2 is relatively weak.

[0020] 1(a), the fixing part 3 is composed of a string material 31 provided on both ends of the belt body 2. The string material 31 is provided with a cord stopper 32 configured to allow the string material 31 to slide in the longitudinal direction.

[0021] 1(b), in garment 10 with elastic waist belt, lower garment 11 is provided with ring member 12 as a fastening portion for fastening cord stopper 32. Then, cord stopper 32 is fastened to ring member 12, whereby belt main body 2 is fixed in a belt-like shape.

[0022] Here, Fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the elastic waist belt 1 fixed in a belt-like shape by engaging the cord stopper 32 with the ring member 12. As shown in Fig. 2, the hole of the ring member 12 is formed to a size that allows the cord material 31 to pass through but not the cord stopper 32, so that the cord stopper 32 is fixed at the position of the ring member 12 provided on the bottom garment 11. As described above, the cord stopper 32 is configured to allow the cord material 31 to slide in the longitudinal direction, and the position of the cord stopper 32 on the cord material 31 can be changed and fixed using well-known technology. Therefore, the user can stretch the belt main body 2 by pulling the cord material 31, and engage the cord stopper 32 with the ring member 12 at a position where the waist part of the bottom garment 11 fits, and easily fix the state without the troublesome work of tying and untying the cord.

[0023] At this time, in the elastic waist belt 1 of this embodiment, as described above, the belt main body 2 is constructed from a stretchable rubber part, so that even if the user's condition changes, the waist part of the lower garment 11 can continue to fit the user by the expansion and contraction of the belt main body 2.

[0024] In the elastic waist belt 1 according to this embodiment, the cord stoppers 32 may be connected by a connecting member 33.

[0025] As described above, the cord stoppers 32 are a pair of cord stoppers provided on a pair of cord materials 31 extending from both ends of the belt body 2. Then, the connecting member 33 connects the pair of cord stoppers 32. This will be described with reference to FIG.

[0026] Fig. 3 is a diagram for explaining the function of the connecting member 33. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing a state in which the connecting member 33 is applied to the elastic waist belt 1 illustrated in Fig. 2 above.

[0027] Here, when the user pulls the string material 31 to engage the cord stopper 32 with the ring member 12 at a position where the waist portion of the lower garment 11 fits, if the user pulls too hard on one of the pair of string materials 31 extending from both ends of the belt main body 2, the length of the string material 31 from the position of the ring member 12 to its tip may become uneven on the left and right, making it look unsightly, or the string material 31 on the side opposite the side that was pulled too hard may come loose from the ring member 12.

[0028] 3, if the position of the cord stopper 32 in the string material 31 is offset to the left or right, the connecting member 33 will be tilted relative to the horizontal. This allows the user to more intuitively recognize the offset.

[0029] In detail, as shown in FIG. 3, the connecting member 33 is, for example, a rod-shaped connecting bar, and the pair of cord stoppers 32 are connected together by fastening the connecting bar to each cord stopper 32 with a button or the like.

[0030] 3, when each cord stopper 32 is engaged with the ring member 12, the connecting member 33 is housed in the housing 13 provided in the lower garment 11. This allows the pair of cord stoppers 32, connecting member 33, and housing 13 to be integrated together and look like a belt buckle, thereby improving the design of the elastic waist belt 1 and the garment with elastic waist belt 10. The housing 13 is formed, for example, from a bar material having a concave shape, and the connecting member 33 can be housed in the groove.

[0031] As described above, it is possible to provide an elastic waist belt 1 and a garment 10 with an elastic waist belt that allows easy waist adjustment.

[0032] <Other Modifications> The above-described embodiment is merely an example, and the present disclosure can be modified and implemented as appropriate without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.

[0033] In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the state of the waist part is fixed by a pair of cord stoppers 32, but in the garment with an elastic waist belt of the present disclosure, the cord stopper 32 may be provided on only one of the string materials 31 extending from both ends of the belt main body 2. In this case, a fixed stopper 321 is provided on the other string material 31.

[0034] Here, Fig. 4 is a first diagram showing the schematic configuration of an elastic waist belt and a garment with an elastic waist belt in another modified example. As shown in Fig. 4(a), a cord stopper 32 is provided on one of the string materials 31. As described in the explanation of the first embodiment, the cord stopper 32 is a movable stopper configured to be able to slide the string material 31 in the longitudinal direction. Meanwhile, as shown in Fig. 4(a), a fixed stopper 321 is provided on the other string material 31. This fixed stopper 321 is a fixed stopper fixed at an arbitrary position on the other string material 31.

[0035] 4(b), for example, with the fixed stopper 321 engaged with the ring member 12, the user can stretch the belt main body 2 by pulling the string material 31 on the side where the cord stopper 32 is provided, and then move the cord stopper 32 to a position where the waist part of the lower garment 11 fits and engage it with the ring member 12, thereby fixing the state of the waist part. This improves user convenience.

[0036] In addition, in the pair of cord stoppers 32 described in the above embodiment, one of the cord stoppers may be provided with a clip.

[0037] Here, Fig. 5 is a second diagram showing the schematic configuration of an elastic waist belt and a garment with an elastic waist belt in another modified example. As shown in Fig. 5(a), one of the pair of cord stoppers 32 is provided with a clip 322. Here, clip 322 has a structure similar to that of a well-known suspender clip, for example, and can clamp string material 31.

[0038] In this way, as shown in FIG. 5(b), for example, the tip of the string material 31 can be folded back and the tip can be clamped by the clip 322.

[0039] 4, when fixed stopper 321 is provided on the side of string material 31 other than the side on which cord stopper 32 is provided, there is a tendency for more of string material 31 to be exposed on the cord stopper 32 side. Therefore, by providing clip 322 next to cord stopper 32, the cord material 31 hanging down from cord stopper 32 can be clamped by clip 322, thereby reducing the exposure of string material 31.

[0040] Furthermore, the string material 31 described in the above embodiment may be a string-shaped member, and may be not only a string material having no elasticity, but also a string material having elasticity. [Explanation of symbols]
