Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an upper garment with a hood.

Background Art

[0002] As described in Patent Document 1, there is known an article that can be easily carried by storing it in a bag. However, in the case of clothing with a hood, it is difficult to fold, and when storing it in a small bag sewn inside the clothing, it is difficult to store it without carefully folding it. On the other hand, it is conceivable to provide a margin in the capacity of the bag and tie the opening with a string. However, if a string is provided on the clothing, the versatility will be reduced for safety reasons.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, the storage bag attached to the back surface of the upper garment described in Patent Document 1 adopts a small storage bag in order to suppress a deterioration in comfort. When storing, it is necessary to fold it carefully, and the convenience is not good. On the other hand, if a storage bag with a margin in capacity is separated from the clothing, the trouble of carrying it increases except during storage, and even if it is attached inside the clothing, the comfort is poor. In addition, if the opening of the storage bag is not tightened, there is a risk that the stored clothing will pop out. However, the string member limits the use of the clothing, and the lid member for closing the opening of the bag also affects the comfort. For example, the string member is avoided in children's clothing because children may get caught on playground equipment or the like, leading to accidents, and in work clothing, there is also a risk that the string may be caught on tools or devices, so it is avoided.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the upper garment according to the present invention is an upper garment having a hood and a plurality of locking members arranged along the opening of the hood, wherein the hood houses the upper garment other than the hood itself, and the opening can be narrowed by engaging the locking members to form a shape suitable for carrying.

Effect of the Invention

[0006] According to the present invention, it is possible to accommodate the upper garment in the headscarf portion of the upper garment without using a string member and form a shape suitable for carrying.

Mode for Carrying out the Invention

[0008] Hereinafter, an upper garment according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1(A) is a front view of the upper garment 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1(B) is a rear view of the upper garment 100. The upper garment 100 has a hood (hereinafter referred to as a hood) 10 and an upper garment body 11 with the hood 10 attached. The hood 10 of the upper garment 100 is fixed to the base of the neck of the upper garment body 11 and may also be referred to as a parka or a hoody. This hood 10 is generally worn by the wearer to protect the head from rain, wind, cold, sunlight, etc., and when not needed, it is draped behind the neck. A snap, which will be described later, is arranged on the inner edge of the opening 12 of the hood 10 (details will be described later).

[0009] Figure 2(A) is an enlarged view showing details of the hood 10. The hood 10 has a plurality of locking members 20 (snap buttons 21a to 26b) on the inside along the edge of the opening 12. The plurality of locking members 20 are alternately arranged with convex snap buttons (studs, convex snaps) 21a, 22a, 23a, 24a, 25a, and 26a and concave snap buttons (sockets, concave snaps) 21b, 22b, 23b, 24b, 25b, and 26b. Here, the stud and socket with the same number form a pair. By fitting together all adjacent snap buttons, in other words, all snap buttons that form a pair, the length around the opening 12 of the hood 10 can be reduced to less than half. Figure 2(B) is an enlarged view showing the state where the length around the opening 12 of the hood 10 is reduced. Also, by making the combination of snap buttons to be fitted the same color and the adjacent combinations different colors, it is easier to visually recognize which snap buttons should be fitted together. That is, here, the stud and socket with the same number are the same color. It is preferable to arrange at least 4 sets or more of the locking members 20.

[0010] Note that although a button and button hole may be adopted as the locking member 20, a snap button is preferable because it is easy for even a young child to fasten and unfasten. Also, as for the snap button, any of a type sewn to the fabric with a thread, a type attached by making a hole in the fabric, and a type attached to the fabric by pressing may be used, but it is preferable to adopt a type attached to the fabric by pressing. This is because a snap button attached using a dedicated tool called a press machine or a handy press is less likely to come off the fabric compared to a button and can reduce the occurrence of accidents such as accidental ingestion.

[0011] Also, the hood 10 is formed by overlapping at least two or more pieces of fabric. Although the locking member 20 is disposed inside the hood, it is arranged so as not to be exposed outside, and it is less likely to affect the appearance when viewed from the outside of the hood. Also, by arranging the locking member 20 so as not to be exposed outside, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the snap button will catch on something and come off.

[0012] The snap buttons 21a to 26b are preferably made of resin. If they are made of resin, they will not rust or fade in color, and there is no concern about metal allergies or the like as a member used near the delicate face.

[0013] At a location corresponding to the rear head region when the hood 10 is worn, a string-like member 13 is inserted into the seam of the hood 10 and sewn. The string-like member 13 functions as a gripping member for carrying and carrying as described later, and may be made into a carabiner type and attached to a member such as a D-ring of a bag or the like.

[0014] Next, a process for making the upper garment 100 into a shape suitable for carrying will be described. FIG. 3(A) is an enlarged view showing a state in which the main body 11 of the upper garment is housed in the hood 10. Specifically, it is a view of the state in which the main body 11 of the upper garment is housed in the hood 10 as seen from the opening 12 side. This state can be achieved by housing the portion (main body 11 of the upper garment) other than the hood 10 of the upper garment 100 in the hood 10, fitting a plurality of locking members 20 in a combination of the same color, and reducing the length of the circumference of the opening 12 of the hood 10. By doing so, the opening 12 of the hood 10 is constricted by the locking member 20, and it is possible to suppress the main body 11 of the upper garment housed in the hood 10 from leaking out of the hood 10 and maintain a compact state.

[0015] Since the hood 10 is sized such that the wearer can put it on their head, the inside of the hood 10 has a sufficient volume to store the main body 11 of the upper garment. Therefore, the main body 11 of the upper garment can be easily stored in the hood 10 without carefully folding it.

[0016] Note that after housing the main body 11 of the upper garment in the hood 10, some opposing snap buttons, specifically, for example, the stud 21a and the socket 26b, and the stud 25a and the socket 23b shown in FIG. 2(A) may be fitted together. In this case, when making the shape suitable for carrying, a more compact state can be achieved.

[0017] FIG. 3(B) is a perspective view showing a state in which the upper body main body 11 is housed in the hood 10. Specifically, this figure shows the appearance of the state in which the upper body main body 11 is housed in the hood 10 as viewed from the side of the string-like member 13. When the upper garment 100 has a shape suitable for carrying, it may have an appearance imitating a substantially spherical or substantially hemispherical article, animal, or character. Here, the substantially spherical or substantially hemispherical articles, animals, and characters include fruits, vegetables, animals, and fictional characters and items appearing in anime, games, etc. Specifically, for example, by making the hood 10 red and regarding the string-like member 13 as a fruit stalk, the appearance of the upper garment 100 in a state suitable for carrying can be made to resemble the appearance of an apple. By doing so, it becomes possible to enjoy the aesthetic appearance not only when the upper garment 100 is worn but also when it has a shape suitable for carrying.

[0018] FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which the upper body main body 11 is taken out of the hood 10. In this figure, the upper garment 100 is arranged without being folded flat. In general, parkas often use drawstrings around the neck. However, in Japan, the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS L4129) for children's clothing has been established, stating that it is essential not to use drawstrings in the head and neck areas because drawstrings around the neck in children's clothing or work clothing may lead to serious accidents. Similarly, safety standards for children's clothing have been established in the United States (ASTM F1816) and Europe (BS EN14682). For the upper garment 100 of this embodiment, since the hood 10 can be tightened without using string members such as drawstrings, concerns regarding safety regulations can be reduced even when it is used for children's clothing, etc.

[0019] FIG. 5 is a pattern diagram of the upper garment 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. By sewing the front body 31, the back body 32, and the body rib 33 together, a part (body part) that covers the upper body of the wearer in the upper garment 100 is created. And by sewing the sleeve 34 and the sleeve rib 35 together, a part (arm part) that covers the arm of the wearer is created. Note that the sleeve 34 and the sleeve rib 35 are created respectively for the right arm and the left arm. And by sewing the body part, the sleeve part for the right arm, and the sleeve part for the left arm together, the upper garment body 11 is formed.

[0020] The hood 10 is created by sewing the hood front fabrics 41 to 42 and the hood back fabrics 43 to 46 together. The hood front fabrics 41 to 42 are required for the right side and the left side, but here only the hood front fabrics 41 to 42 for the right side are shown, and the left side is omitted. As described above, the hood 10 is configured by overlapping two or more fabrics. That is, the hood front fabrics 41 to 42 form the outside (front side) of the hood 10, and the hood back fabrics 43 to 46 form the inside (back side) of the hood 10. By attaching the locking member 20 to the portion corresponding to the opening 12 of the hood back fabrics 43 to 46, the locking member 20 is not exposed outside the hood 10.

[0021] And by sewing the upper garment body 11 and the hood 10 together, the upper garment 100 is formed. Note that the hood 10 may be detachably attached to the upper garment body 11 with a fastener, buttons, or the like. Also, the upper garment 100 may be suitable with no sleeves or half sleeves. Further, the upper garment 100 may be a zip-up type parka having a fastener at the central portion of the entire surface of the upper garment body 11. The upper garment 100 may also be a front-opening parka provided with buttons at the central portion of the entire surface.
