Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a one-piece dress suitable for men. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, one-piece dresses were not made for men to wear. Therefore, even if a man wanted to wear one-piece dresses, there were no women's dresses that fit his body well. There were no dresses suitable for men who were not particularly into cross-dressing. Also, when men needed to relieve themselves in the toilet, they had no choice but to use a private room or tuck up their skirts to use the urinal. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2019-11537 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] As mentioned above, there has not been a one-piece dress that fits a man's body well and has the functions necessary for everyday life, such as going to the toilet.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a men's one-piece dress that is sized to fit the expected physique of the user, has no bust, a chest circumference that is 100% to 120% of the expected chest circumference of the user, a waist circumference that is narrower than the chest circumference, and is equipped with a zipper for the user to use while standing. Because it does not have a bust area like women's one-piece dresses, it fits the body when worn by a man and prevents the dress from touching the urinal when using the toilet. Furthermore, the zipper allows men wearing the men's one-piece dress of the present invention to easily use the urinal in the men's restroom. [Means for solving the problem]

[0018] <Outline of Embodiment 1> Mainly claims 1, 2, and 3

[0019] The men's one-piece dress of the present invention in embodiment 1 is configured to have no bulge in the chest area, a chest circumference that is 100% to 120% of the expected chest circumference of the user, a waist circumference that is narrower than the chest circumference, and a zipper for men to urinate while standing. <Configuration of Embodiment 1>

[0020] The men's one-piece dress of the present invention is sized to fit the physique of the intended user. It is a one-piece dress of the optimum size for wearing by a man, who is the intended user. The sizes of each part are the chest (including chest circumference), waist circumference, hip circumference, length, etc., which will be described later. The men's one-piece dress of this embodiment 1 will be explained using Figure 1. Figure 1 is a front view of the men's one-piece dress of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the men's one-piece dress of this embodiment 1 is configured to have a chest (0101), waist (0102), hips (0103), zipper (0104), and hem (0105). <Embodiment 1 Chest (0101)>

[0021] The men's one-piece dress of the present invention is designed to have no bulging chest and a chest circumference that is 100% to 120% of the expected chest circumference of the user (see FIG. 1). <Embodiment 1 Chest: Presence or Absence of Bulge>

[0022] "No fullness in the chest" means that while women's clothing has a fullness in the chest area to accommodate the volume of the bust area at the front of the chest, which is characteristic of women, the men's one-piece dress of the present invention does not have such a fullness in the chest area. Because the fabric of the one-piece dress does not have a fullness in the bust area, when a man wears the men's one-piece dress of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the fabric in the chest area from sagging, ruining the silhouette when worn, or the excess fabric in the chest area from hanging down, causing the front hem of the dress to droop. <Embodiment 1 Chest: Chest circumference>

[0023] Men, in particular, are encouraged to approach the urinal when using a urinal. Figure 3 shows the relative position of the feet when using the urinal and the urinal itself. The gray area in the figure indicates the approximate area where liquid droplets will splash when using the urinal. The solid horizontal oval in the figure represents the chest circumference of a user wearing a one-piece dress, while the dotted horizontal oval indicates the location of the fabric of the chest area of ​​the one-piece dress of the present invention, which has a chest circumference that is 120% of the user's chest circumference. When approaching a urinal while wearing a one-piece dress that is not fitting well, such as a one-piece dress with a chest circumference larger than 120%, inconveniences can occur, such as the chest area of ​​the dress coming into contact with parts of the urinal or water splashing from the urinal onto the user's clothing. This does not occur when a woman is wearing a one-piece dress, and is a problem only with men's one-piece dresses.

[0024] To prevent the above problems, the chest size of a men's one-piece dress should be between 100% (the same size as the expected chest circumference of the user) and 120% of the expected chest circumference of the user. This will not only fit the expected physique of the user, but also prevent the hem from sagging unexpectedly due to the lack of extra space caused by the bulge in the chest that is unique to women's clothing.

[0025] Figure 4 shows a table listing examples of chest and waist sizes for a men's one-piece dress of the present invention, relative to the height, chest circumference, and waist of an assumed user. The assumed user's body size in the figure conforms to the men's sizes standardized by JASPO (Japan Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association). In the one-piece sizes shown in Figure 4, the chest circumference is in the range of 100-120% of the assumed user's chest circumference, and the waist circumference, described below, is in the range of 75-90% of the one-piece chest circumference.

[0026] The dress sizes shown in Figure 4 are as follows: SS size: chest circumference 87-97cm, waist circumference 73-78cm for a person with height 157-163cm, chest circumference 81-87cm, and waist 67-73cm; S size: chest circumference 91-102cm, waist circumference 77-81cm for a person with height 162-168cm, chest circumference 85-91cm, and waist 71-77cm; M size: height 167-173cm, chest circumference 89-95cm, waist 75-78cm for a person with height 167-173cm, chest circumference 89-95cm, and waist 75-78cm. For a body size of 172-178cm tall, with a chest circumference of 93-99cm and a waist circumference of 79-85cm, the L size has a chest circumference of 99-111cm and a waist circumference of 84-89cm. For a body size of 177-183cm tall, with a chest circumference of 97-103cm and a waist circumference of 83-89cm, the O size has a chest circumference of 103-116cm and a waist circumference of 87-92cm.

[0027] It is preferable that the upper body portion of the men's one-piece dress (from the collar to the waist) not be open in the front. This is because if the front of the upper body is open in hot weather, the fabric of the dress will likely come into contact with the toilet bowl when the wearer urinates. <Embodiment 1 Waist (0102): Waist circumference>

[0028] The men's one-piece dress of the present invention is configured so that the waist is narrower than the chest (see FIG. 1).

[0029] The waist circumference of a men's one-piece dress is preferably between 75% and 90% of the chest circumference. Waist circumferences of less than 75% are excluded because the waist circumference of the dress shown in Figure 4 overlaps with the waist size range of the user's body and does not fit the Japanese body shape. The upper limit is set at 90% because, like the chest circumference, dimensions exceeding 90% are likely to come into contact with the urinal or be subject to a large amount of splashing during urination. <Embodiment 1 Hip (0103): Hip circumference>

[0030] The men's one-piece dress of the present invention is configured so that the hip area is fuller than the waist area (see FIG. 1).

[0031] The hips are made larger than the waist so that the upper pelvis, which is located below the hips or waist, can support the waist fabric of the dress and hold the skirt portion of the dress in place. By holding the skirt portion of the dress above the hips, even if there is excess fabric in the upper body compared to the user's expected size, the skirt portion can be held in place without being affected. This effect is achieved because the hips are made larger than the waist. <Embodiment 1: Length>

[0032] The men's one-piece dress of the present invention is configured so that the length (the length from the base of the neck at the back of the garment (back neck point) to the hem; the same applies below) is 60% to 100% of the height of the intended wearer.

[0033] "Length" refers to the length from the base of the neck at the back of the garment (back neck point) to the hem.

[0034] "60% to 100% of the height of the expected user" refers to the state in which, when worn by the expected user, the hem of the men's dress of the present invention ranges from the knee or a position near the knee (60%, left half of Figure 2) to a state in which the hem hangs down and partially drags on the floor (100%, right half of Figure 2), as shown in Figure 2. Similar to Figure 1, Figure 2 is a front view of the men's dress of the first embodiment, with the left side showing the length at 60% of the expected user's elongation, and the right side showing the length at 100%.

[0035] For example, the dress may have a front hem that is 60% (near the knee) or ankle length, and a back hem that is 100% length and trails along the back. Alternatively, the dress may have a hem that does not trail along the back, but falls downward when viewed from the side, such that the front hem is below the knee and the back hem is near the ankle.

[0036] Conversely, the front hem may be longer than the back, or the entire hem may be a uniform length. The entire hem may even be in contact with the floor. <Embodiment 1 Fastener (0105)>

[0037] The men's one-piece dress of the present invention is configured to have a zipper for men to urinate while standing.

[0038] The term "zipper" refers to a mechanism for opening and closing clothing such as pants and jackets. Different types of closures, such as buttons, zippers, and snap buttons, are classified as zippers. In particular, in this specification, the term "zipper" refers to a mechanism for opening and closing an opening for men to urinate while standing. A zipper fly (aside from a zipper fly, flies using buttons, snap buttons, hook-and-loop fasteners, hooks, etc., can also be used; the same applies below) may be provided, with double-layered fabric to conceal the zipper on the opening for men to urinate while standing. As shown in FIG. 1, this opening is provided near the front of the crotch area for men wearing the men's one-piece dress of the present invention to urinate into a urinal in a toilet. The opening mechanism, such as a zipper, on the opening may be configured to be visible from the outside. However, unlike in the second embodiment described below, if it is only located near the front of the crotch area, the opening may be configured with double-layered fabric to conceal the zipper from the outside, similar to the zip fly on men's pants. Furthermore, it is preferable to configure the opening so that it is concealed from the outside that the opening and closing mechanism is only located in the crotch area. For example, a dummy seam of the double-layered fabric may be provided all the way to the hem of the skirt. In the drawings of this specification, the zip fly is simply indicated by a thick line, but this includes both the case where the fabric is double-layered so that the opening and closing part is not visible from the outside, as described above, and the case where it is visible from the outside.

[0039] The zip fly, which hides the zipper, can be constructed in the same way as men's pants, with the double-layered fabric that hides the opening on the left side of the opening (the left side as seen from the wearer) so that it is easy to open with the right hand, or the fabric can be reversed. The latter construction (the double-layered fabric that hides the opening on the right side of the opening) is more preferable because it conforms to the fabric construction of the openings of general women's clothing.

[0040] Although it is called a "zipper," it is not limited to opening and closing mechanisms that use zippers, but also includes structures that open and close using buttons, snap buttons, hook and loop fasteners, hook fasteners, etc. When using a zipper, it can be opened by sliding it from top to bottom, or vice versa. <Effects of the First Embodiment>

[0041] The men's one-piece dress of this embodiment does not have a full bust area like women's one-piece dresses, so it fits the body well when worn by a man and prevents the dress from touching the urinal when urinating in a restroom. In addition, by providing a zipper for men to urinate while standing, men wearing the men's one-piece dress of the present invention can easily urinate in a urinal in a men's restroom. <Outline of Embodiment 2> Mainly claim 4

[0042] The men's one-piece dress of the present invention according to the second embodiment, which is based on the first embodiment, is configured so that it can be opened and closed all the way to the bottom edge of the hem. <Configuration of Second Embodiment>

[0043] The second embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 5 and 6. Figures 5 and 6 are front views of examples 1 and 2 of the men's one-piece dress of the second embodiment. <Embodiment 2 Fastener>

[0044] The fastener (0505) of this embodiment 2 (not only fasteners but also buttons, snap buttons, hook and loop fasteners or hooks can be used as mentioned above) is configured to be openable and closable all the way to the bottom edge of the hem.

[0045] The zipper of the second embodiment described below may be configured so that it cannot be seen directly from the outside by doubling up the fabric around the zipper, similar to the zip fly described in the first embodiment.

[0046] "Openable all the way to the bottom of the hem" can mean a configuration in which the zipper is extended all the way to the bottom of the hem (see Figure 5), or a configuration in which a slit is provided from the bottom of the zipper in the front of the crotch to the bottom in the center of the front (see Figure 6). In the former case, it is preferable for the zipper to be opened by sliding it from the bottom up. In the case of a system in which the zipper is opened from the top, the zipper should be configured so that when opened all the way to the bottom of the hem, the zipper separates into left and right halves, separating the bottom of the hem into left and right halves.

[0047] In the latter structure (Fig. 6), a zipper longer than that in the first embodiment may be used. For example, a zipper may be provided up to above the knee, with a slit below that from below the knee to the hem. In this case, too, the zipper can be configured to open from either the top or bottom. It is preferable to have the zipper above the knee, where it can be easily reached when standing, or below the knee, where it can be reached by leaning forward slightly, with the slit extending from below that to the bottom edge of the hem. This is because the zipper can be opened and closed easily, and the slit makes it easier to walk in a long skirt that reaches down to the ankles.

[0048] The zipper of this second embodiment can be configured without a double-layered structure that hides the opening and closing part from the outside. If the zipper is not only provided in the front of the crotch area but also extends to the knee or the bottom edge of the hem, it may be perceived by others as a design element rather than a part used for excretion.

[0049] The reason for providing a zipper at the front of the skirt portion that can be opened and closed all the way to the bottom of the hem as described above is explained below. Urinals installed in men's restrooms are positioned so that the bottom of the bowl that catches urine protrudes toward the urinal user and is positioned between the user's legs to prevent urine from spilling on the floor (see Figure 3). When a man wearing the men's one-piece dress of the present invention approaches the urinal, if the hem of the front dress is long, it may get caught on the protruding part of the bowl. Alternatively, if the zipper is only located in front of the crotch area and there is no slit that extends to the hem, excreted urine may get on the front of the skirt portion. Alternatively, splashes may adhere to the skirt portion during excretion (example of a splashed area: gray area in Figure 3). This is because the hip area is configured to be fuller than the waist area, so the hem tends to be wider than the hip area. Additionally, because men have less fullness in the hips (behind the hips) than women, if a skirt is considered to be roughly conical, the skirt will be pulled by the fullness of the hips, causing the conical skirt to tilt backward. On the other hand, a conical skirt for men spreads out almost symmetrically from front to back, so the front hem of a men's skirt tends to spread out more forward than a woman's.

[0050] To solve these problems, a zipper (which may include a partial slit) is provided in the front center that can be opened and closed all the way to the bottom of the hem, preventing the hem from coming into contact with the toilet bowl during excretion and keeping the skirt fabric away from the path of excreted urine and splashes. Conventionally, when wearing a skirt (or one-piece dress) without a zipper, the only way to excrete was to roll up the hem and expose the legs up to the crotch, or to use a private room, but the configuration of this embodiment 2 allows for comfortable excretion. <Effects>

[0051] The men's one-piece dress of the present invention, having the above-mentioned configuration, is a men's one-piece dress of a predetermined size for the expected physique of the user, has no bust, a chest circumference that is 100% to 120% of the expected chest circumference of the user, a waist circumference that is narrower than the chest circumference, and is equipped with a zipper for the user to urinate while standing. Because it does not have a bust area like women's one-piece dresses, it fits the body when worn by a man and prevents the dress from touching the urinal when relieving oneself in a restroom. Furthermore, the provision of a zip fly allows men wearing the men's one-piece dress of the present invention to easily relieve themselves at the urinal in a men's restroom. [Explanation of symbols]
