Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a pocket used in clothing, and more particularly to a pocket structure for reversible clothing that can be worn reversibly. [Background technology]

[0002] In everyday life, clothing is often turned inside out when taking off. In particular, clothing worn in direct contact with the skin, such as underwear or sportswear, is often damp with sweat, making it easier to remove by turning the garment inside out. However, garments that have been turned inside out must be turned inside out when putting them back on or washing them, which not only increases the burden on the wearer but also risks compromising the wearer's fashion sense if the garment is worn again without being turned inside out. Meanwhile, reversible garments with identical designs on both sides have been devised and are widely available. Reversible garments do not need to be turned inside out when taking them off, and can be worn again without compromising their fashion sense. Furthermore, by using different color schemes on the front and back sides, it is possible to enjoy wearing one garment in two different ways. A method has also been devised in which tape-like fabric is sewn over the back seams to improve the appearance of the back side (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1a to 4b.

[0015] [First embodiment] As shown in FIG. 1, the first embodiment of this invention is a pocket structure (2) formed on a short-sleeved reversible shirt (1) with set-in sleeves. The reversible shirt is made by joining together a front body (11) made of reversible fabric, a back body having the same shape and size as the front body (11), a left sleeve, and a right sleeve. The reversible shirt (1) of this embodiment is a single-layer reversible shirt made of a fabric that can be worn with either the front or back side facing outward, such as a knitted fabric knitted by double knitting. The fabric for the reversible shirt is not limited to knitted fabric; other fabrics with low elasticity, such as woven fabric, can also be used. In this invention, the term "same shape and size" is intended to include slight dimensional errors.

[0016] In detail, the front body (11) and the back body are joined at the shoulder seams and at the side seams, and further, tubular left and right sleeves are joined to a pair of left and right armholes formed between the shoulder seams and the side seams. After the front body (11) and the back body are joined, a reinforcing collar (buffer) is joined around the entire periphery of the neckline of the front body (11) and the back body so that it overlaps the neckline, and a tag (6) on which size, care instructions, etc. can be written is attached to the bottom edge of the right side seam. In this invention, the term "joining" refers to the process of joining multiple fabric pieces together, and specifically refers to a sewing process in which they are sewn together with thread (e.g., flat seam sewing) or a bonding process in which they are bonded with adhesive. In this embodiment, an example in which the pieces are sewn together is mainly shown.

[0017] The pocket structure (2) is formed at the left breast position when one side of the front body (11) is worn facing outward.

[0018] Specifically, a pocket opening (3) is formed horizontally over a predetermined length at the left chest position when one side of the front body (11) is worn facing outward, penetrating both the front and back sides of the reversible fabric. Furthermore, a pocket cloth (4) is attached to the front body (11) via the pocket opening (3). More specifically, the pocket cloth (4) has a bag shape including a bag opening (41) through which the user inserts their hand when putting in or taking out items, and a pocket (42) for storing the items. The opening (41) is joined integrally with the pocket opening (3), and the pocket (42) is located on the back side of the reversible shirt (1). The pocket structure (2) is composed of the pocket opening (3) and the pocket cloth (4). In this embodiment, the opening (41) is sewn to the lower edge of the pocket opening (3) via a seam, but the joining method of the opening (41) and the pocket opening (3) is not limited to this. For example, the bag opening may be joined to the upper and lower edges of the pocket opening along the entire periphery, and the joining method may be, for example, by bonding.

[0019] When wearing the reversible shirt (1) inside out, as shown in FIG. 1b, by pinching the bottom of the pocket section (42) through the pocket opening (3) and pulling it out, the pocket section (42) is turned inside out around the joint (sewn section (5) in this embodiment) between the pocket opening (3) and the pocket cloth (4), and the pocket cloth (4) is pulled out to the outside of the reversible shirt (1). When the reversible shirt (1) is turned inside out and worn, the pocket cloth (4) is positioned on the inside of the reversible shirt (1). With this configuration, regardless of whether the reversible shirt (1) is worn with either the inside or outside facing out, the position of the single pocket cloth (4) can be easily reversed and used as a pocket. Furthermore, since only one pocket cloth (4) is required, the structure is simplified and manufacturing costs are reduced.

[0020] Furthermore, since the front and back body sections (1) have the same shape, the shirt can be worn either way, front or back, and for example, by attaching a zipper or the like to the pocket opening (3) to make it openable and closable, and by forming a pocket structure on the back body with a structure similar to the pocket structure (2) on the front body section (1) in a position symmetrical to the pocket structure (2), the position of the pocket structure can be changed to the left or right chest according to the wearer's preference by switching the front and back and front and back. Also, when the reversible shirt is viewed from the back, the zipper at the pocket opening of the unused pocket structure adds an aesthetic accent.

[0021] In the above, the garments in which the pocket structure (2) can be formed are not limited to the above-mentioned reversible shirt (1), but may have front and back sections of different sizes and shapes, and can also be formed on, for example, button-down shirts, outerwear such as jackets and coats, or trousers, etc. Furthermore, the position where the pocket opening (3) is formed, i.e., the position where the pocket structure (2) is formed, is not limited to the above, and can be suitably changed depending on the use of the garment in which the pocket structure (2) is formed.

[0022] [Second embodiment] As shown in FIG. 2, the second embodiment of this invention is a pocket structure (102) formed on reversible trousers (101). While a left-side pocket is shown in FIG. 4(a), if a right-side pocket is provided, it is preferable that the structure be symmetrical to the left-side pocket. The reversible trousers (101) have a front body (111) made of reversible fabric and a back body (112) of the same shape and size. The reversible trousers (101) of this embodiment are single-layered reversible trousers made of a fabric that can be worn on both the front and back sides, such as a knitted fabric knitted by double knitting. The fabric for reversible trousers is not limited to knitted fabric; low-stretch fabrics such as woven fabrics can also be used. In this invention, the term "same shape and size" also includes slight dimensional errors.

[0023] Specifically, a pocket opening (103) is formed near the upper end of the joint between the front and back body sections on the outside of the left leg of the reversible trousers (101), extending over a predetermined length from front to back. Furthermore, a pouch pocket fabric (104) is attached to the front body section (111) and the back body section (112) via the pocket opening (103). More specifically, the pouch pocket fabric (104) has a pouch shape including a pouch opening (141) through which the user inserts their hand when putting in or taking out personal belongings, and a pouch pocket section (142) for storing the personal belongings. The pouch opening (141) is joined integrally with the pocket opening (103), and the pouch pocket section (142) is located on the back side of the reversible trousers (101). The pocket structure (102) is composed of the pocket opening (103) and the pouch pocket fabric (104). In this embodiment, the bag opening (142) is sewn to the front and rear edges of the pocket opening (103) via a seam, but the joining method of the bag opening (142) and the pocket opening (103) is not limited to this. For example, the bag opening may be joined only to the front edge or only to the rear edge of the pocket opening, and the joining method may be, for example, by adhesive (bonding).

[0024] When wearing the reversible trousers (101) inside out, as shown in FIG. 2b, by pinching the bottom of the pocket portion (142) through the pocket opening (103) and pulling it out, the pocket cloth (104) is turned inside out around the joint (sewn portion (105) in this embodiment) between the pocket opening (103) and the pocket cloth (104), and the pocket cloth (104) is pulled out to the outer surface of the reversible trousers (101). When the reversible trousers (101) are worn inside out, the pocket cloth (104) is positioned on the inner surface of the reversible trousers (101). With this configuration, regardless of whether the reversible trousers (101) are worn inside out, a single pocket cloth (104) can be easily repositioned and used as a pocket. Furthermore, since only one pocket cloth (4) is required, the structure is simplified and manufacturing costs are reduced.

[0025] In addition, since the front and back body sections are identical in shape, the appearance and usability of the pockets are not affected even when the garment is worn inside out or reversed. The position where the pocket opening (103) is formed, i.e., the position where the pocket structure (102) is formed, is not limited to the above, and can be suitably changed depending on the purpose of the garment in which the pocket structure (102) is formed.

[0026] In the above, the garments on which the pocket structure (102) can be formed are not limited to trousers, but can also be attached to outerwear such as shirts, jackets, and coats.

[0027] [Third embodiment] As shown in Figure 3, the third embodiment of the present invention is a pocket structure (202) formed on a short-sleeved reversible shirt (201) with set-in sleeves. This reversible shirt (201) has the same structure as the reversible shirt (1) of the first embodiment, so a detailed description will be omitted.

[0028] In detail, a patch pocket cloth (204) is attached to the center of the abdominal area on one side of the front body (211) of the reversible shirt (201) so as to form a patch pocket section (242) and a first pocket opening (241) that leads into the patch pocket section (242). Furthermore, a second pocket opening (205) is formed in a penetrating manner in the abdominal area center of the front body (211) so as to lead to the patch pocket section (242) from the other side of the front body (211) and not overlap with the first pocket opening when viewed from the front and back. The pocket structure (202) is formed from the patch pocket cloth (204) and the second pocket opening (205).

[0029] More specifically, the patch pocket fabric (204) has a bottom edge of a predetermined length, two side edges extending upward from both ends of the bottom edge, and a top edge parallel to the bottom edge and approximately half the length of the bottom edge. Each of the side edges is angled inward in an arc from the center in the vertical direction toward both ends of the top edge. The patch pocket fabric (204) is attached to the front body piece (211) by joining (sewn in this embodiment) the bottom edge, the lower halves of both sides (portions extending upward), and the top edge to the front body piece (211). The portions of the patch pocket fabric (204) that are not joined to the front body piece (11), i.e., the portions angled inward in an arc, form a pair of first pocket openings (241) on the left and right. Furthermore, a reinforcing portion (207) is formed at the joining point of the bottom edge of the patch pocket fabric (204) to the front body piece (211) for added strength, improving the durability of the pocket structure (202). The reinforcing portion (207) is preferably formed on both the inside and outside of the front body (211). Also, it is preferable that the second pocket opening (205) is provided with a zipper that can be opened and closed freely.

[0030] When this reversible shirt (201) is worn with one side facing outward, the wearer can place small items into the patch pocket (242) through the first pocket opening (241). The bottom edge, the lower halves of both sides (portions extending upward), and the top edge of the patch pocket fabric (204) are joined to the front body (211), preventing items from falling out of the patch pocket (242). Furthermore, by closing the zipper on the second pocket opening (205), stored items will not fall between the reversible shirt (201) and the wearer's abdomen. When the reversible shirt (201) is worn with the other side facing outward, the wearer can place small items in and take them out of the patch pocket (242) through the second pocket opening (205). Furthermore, closing the zipper on the second pocket opening (205) prevents small items from falling out of the patch pocket (242). Furthermore, a common storage space can be used regardless of whether the jacket is worn inside out, which simplifies the structure and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0031] The garments on which the pocket structure (202) can be formed are not limited to shirts, but can also be attached to outerwear such as jackets and coats, or pants, etc. Furthermore, the shape of the patch pocket fabric (204), the attachment position of the patch pocket fabric (204), and the position of the second pocket opening (205) are not limited to those described above, and can be changed as appropriate within the range that allows use as a patch pocket.

[0032] [Fourth embodiment] As shown in Figure 4, the fourth embodiment of the present invention is a pocket structure (302) attached to a short-sleeved reversible shirt (301) with set-in sleeves. This reversible shirt (301) has the same structure as the reversible shirt (1) of the first embodiment, so a detailed description will be omitted.

[0033] In detail, a first patch pocket cloth (304) is attached to the center of the abdomen on one side of the front body (311) of the reversible shirt (301) so as to form a first patch pocket (342) and a first pocket opening (341) that leads into the patch pocket (342). Furthermore, a second patch pocket cloth (340) is attached to the other side of the front body (311) so as to form a second patch pocket (344) that overlaps the first patch pocket (342) when viewed from the front and back, and a second pocket opening (343) that leads into the second patch pocket (344). Furthermore, a communication cutout (306) is formed at a predetermined location on the front body (311) so as to communicate the first patch pocket (342) and the second patch pocket (344). The pocket structure (302) is formed of a first patch pocket portion (342), a second patch pocket portion (344), and a communication cutout portion (306). In addition, a reinforcing portion (307) is formed at the joint of the bottom edges of both patch pocket fabrics (304, 340) on the front body (311) for reinforcement, thereby improving the durability of the pocket structure (302).

[0034] The first patch pocket fabric (304) and the second patch pocket fabric (340) have the same shape as the patch pocket fabric (204) in the third embodiment, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted. Note that in this embodiment, the first patch pocket fabric (304) and the second patch pocket fabric (340) have the same shape and size, but they may have different shapes and / or sizes.

[0035] When this reversible shirt (301) is worn with one side facing outward, the wearer can place small items into the first patch pocket (342) through the first pocket opening (341). When the reversible shirt (201) is worn with the other side facing outward, the wearer can place small items into the second patch pocket (344) through the second pocket opening (343). The first patch pocket (342) and the second patch pocket (344) are connected via the connecting notch (306) and function as a single storage space, increasing the capacity of the pocket structure (302). Furthermore, because the two pockets share a single storage space on the reverse surface of the reversible shirt (301), there is no need to remove the stored small items before wearing the reversible shirt (301) with the other side facing outward. Furthermore, since the same storage space can be used regardless of whether the garment is worn inside out, the structure is simplified and manufacturing costs are reduced.

[0036] The garments on which the pocket structure (302) can be formed are not limited to shirts, but can also be attached to outerwear such as jackets and coats, or pants, etc. Furthermore, the shapes and attachment positions of the first patch pocket fabric (304) and the second patch pocket fabric (340) are not limited to those described above, and can be changed as appropriate within the scope that allows for use as a patch pocket.

[0037] As described above, the pocket structure of reversible clothing according to the present invention can be used as a pocket regardless of whether the reversible clothing is worn with either the inside or outside facing out, without increasing manufacturing costs, complicating the structure, or impairing the feel of use. [Industrial Applicability]

[0038] The reversible garment pocket structure of the present invention can be applied to pocket structures of various garments such as underwear, sports shirts, and trousers. [Explanation of symbols]
