Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an obi worn around the waist when wearing a kimono, a traditional Japanese garment, and particularly to an obi with a decorative body that allows the obi to be worn easily and quickly even by a person who has never worn a kimono before or in a situation where there is no one to help with putting on the kimono, and that is prevented from slipping, loosening or coming off after being worn, and that looks beautiful when worn. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, many obi with various ingenious features have been used, and various obi have been developed and used in pursuit of ease of putting on and a beautiful appearance when worn. An obi is a long, narrow piece of cloth that is wrapped around the waist over the kimono, a traditional Japanese garment, and there are various types such as maru obi, fukuro obi, Nagoya obi, and half-width obi depending on the occasion and purpose for which it is worn.

[0003] Recently, there has been an increasing demand from foreign tourists and others who want to enjoy wearing kimonos casually for a short period of time, and there is a demand for obi that can be put on easily and quickly.

[0004] One example of technology related to obi is Utility Model Registration No. 3235943. This publication discloses a corset-style obi that is easy to put on and take off and to adjust the size of the obi. The obi has a right body section with a zipper at one end in the waist direction and multiple through-holes at the other end in the waist direction, a left body section with a zipper at one end in the waist direction and multiple through-holes at the other end in the waist direction, and a ribbon that is inserted through the multiple through-holes in the right body section and the multiple through-holes in the left body section. This configuration allows the zipper section of the right body section to be connected to the zipper section of the left body section, and then the through-holes in the left body section to be connected to the through-holes in the right body section with the ribbon, making it easy to put on and take off the obi and adjust the size.

[0005] This technology certainly makes it possible to put on the obi easily and quickly, but it has the major problem that the through-hole cannot be sufficiently hidden by the ribbon, and in some cases the structure gives a rough impression and lacks beauty.

[0006] Furthermore, Utility Model Registration No. 3238175 discloses a simple structure for creating a gorgeous petal pattern on a kimono obi, in which the long obi body is virtually divided into three sections along its length, the first virtual section being formed by folding the long obi body in half widthwise and forming a wave-like shape with an elastic string, the second virtual section being the long obi body, and the third virtual section being formed into a rolled-up cylindrical body. The second virtual section is the long obi body, and the third virtual section is configured to form a rolled-up cylindrical body. The second virtual section is wrapped around the waist several times to put on the obi, and the first virtual section is folded into a wave-like shape with an elastic string, and its leading edge is shaped like a petal. The elastic string is wound around the rolled-up cylindrical body while twisting it at the front of the long obi to form a petal-like pattern, and the petal-knotted part is turned to the back of the kimono to form the petal structure.

[0007] This technology certainly makes it possible to form a beautiful petal pattern on a kimono obi with a simple structure, but there are major problems in that it takes time to put on the obi and it is difficult for one person to form the petal structure in a short amount of time unless they are used to it.

[0008] There is a demand from many people, including tourists, who want to enjoy wearing kimonos casually. In addition, if the obi that makes a kimono look gorgeous can be easily put on, it will be possible to enjoy wearing a kimono casually. Furthermore, it is important for the maintenance and development of Japanese kimono culture to make people recognize kimonos and obi, which are a source of pride for Japan, as something more familiar. Therefore, there was a desire to develop an obi that anyone could put on easily and simply. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0009] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3235943 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3238175 DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0010] To solve the above problems, the present invention aims to provide an obi with a decorative body that is used when putting on a kimono, a traditional Japanese garment, and that allows the obi to be easily and quickly put on even by a person who has never worn a kimono before or in a situation where there is no one to help with putting on the kimono, and that is prevented from loosening, slipping off, or falling off after being put on, and that looks beautiful and presentable when worn. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the decorative obi of the present invention is an obi with decorative bodies that is wrapped around the waist when putting on a kimono, and consists of a belt body that is wrapped around the waist, a connection part that connects and fixes the ends of the belt body together, and a pair of decorative bodies that are placed on the outer periphery of the belt body, and the connection part consists of a press connection part that is placed on the inside of one end of the belt body and a connection receiving part that is placed on the outside of the other end of the belt body, and the decorative bodies consist of a first decorative part that is placed on the end where the press connection part is placed, and a second decorative part that is placed approximately in the middle of the outside of the belt body.

[0012] The decorative body is also configured to be composed of a pair of string-like members that can form a connected decoration by tying the first decorative portion and the second decorative portion together in a decorative knot.

[0015] 3. The pressure connection part and the connection receiving part are made of hook-and-loop fasteners, so when putting on the obi, it is possible to wrap the obi firmly around the waist and secure it in place. 4. The hook-and-loop fasteners on the press-fit connection part and the connection receiving part are made of microfiber, which makes it possible to securely fasten the belt with little force, and in particular to prevent slippage. When removing the belt, the characteristics of microfiber can be utilized to easily separate the press-fit connection part and the connection receiving part. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0016] The ornamental belt of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. Figure 1 is a front view of the ornamental belt of the present invention, and Figure 2 is a perspective view of the ornamental belt.

[0017] The decorative obi 1 of the present invention is an obi that is wrapped around the waist when putting on a kimono, and as shown in Figure 1, it consists of an obi body 100, a connecting part 200, and a decorative body 300.It allows the obi to be easily and quickly put on over a kimono, even by someone who has never worn a kimono before or in a situation where there is no one to help with putting it on, and it is an obi with decorative body that looks beautiful and presentable when worn, as it is prevented from slipping or coming off after being put on.

[0018] The belt body 100 is the component that constitutes the main body of the ornament-attached belt 1, and is a belt-shaped component that is worn around the waist of the user. The belt body 100 is preferably long enough to wrap around the waist of the user and have overlapping ends, and in this embodiment, the belt body 100 is approximately 100 cm long, but is not limited to this length.

[0019] The connection parts 200 are components for connecting and fixing the ends of the band body 100 together, thereby stably securing the band body 100 around the user's waist. The band body 100 is long enough to exceed the circumference of the user's waist, and in this embodiment, the connection parts 200 are provided at both ends of the band body 100, at portions that exceed the circumference of the user's waist.

[0020] The ornamental body 300 is a component that elegantly decorates the waist of a user wearing a kimono, and also serves to firmly securely connect both ends of the belt body 100 with the connecting part 200. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in this embodiment, a pair of ornamental bodies 300 are attached to the outer periphery of the belt body 100.

[0021] 1, the connection part 200 in this embodiment is configured to include a pressure connection part 210 and a connection receiving part 220. The pressure connection part 210 is a member that presses the band body 100 toward the user's body, and is provided on the inside of one end of the band body 100 (the side facing the user's body). The connection receiving part 220 is a member that receives pressure toward the body from the pressure connection part 210 to connect and fix the band body 100 to the pressure connection part 210, and is provided on the outside of the other end of the band body 100 (the side facing away from the user's body).

[0022] The pressure connection part 210 and the connection receiving part 220 are in close contact with each other to connect and fix the ends of the band body 100. In this embodiment, the pressure connection part 210 and the connection receiving part 220 are substantially rectangular and have the same size and shape, but are not limited to this configuration, and the shape and size of each can be selected as appropriate.

[0023] 1 and 2, the decorative body 300 in this embodiment is configured to be composed of a first decorative portion 310 and a second decorative portion 320. The first decorative portion 310 is installed at the end where the press connection portion 210 is installed, and the second decorative portion 320 is installed on the outer surface of the band body 100, approximately in the middle of the band body 100. In this embodiment, the first decorative portion 310 is configured to be installed at the very tip (edge ​​portion) of the band body 100 on the press connection portion 210 side, as shown in FIG.

[0024] In this embodiment, the first decorative portion 310 and the second decorative portion 320 of the ornamental body 300 are made up of a pair of decorative string-like members, and can be configured to form decorations on the obi by tying the first decorative portion 310 and the second decorative portion 320 together in a decorative knot. This configuration allows the user to form decorations on the obi by tying the first decorative portion 310 and the second decorative portion 320 together in any way they like, such as in a bow, making it possible to freely and easily create an obi that gives a gorgeous impression when worn.

[0025] We will now explain how to wear the decorative obi 1 of the present invention. First, wrap the obi body 100 around the back of the waist over a kimono, determine the height, and then gently tighten the obi around the abdomen while overlapping the pressure connection part 210 and the connection receiving part 220 to connect and secure them. Next, slightly rotate the obi body 100 to adjust it so that the first decorative part 310 and the second decorative part 320 are in front of the body. At this time, the connection part 200 is positioned around the flank.

[0026] Then, the first decorative part 310 and the second decorative part 320 are knotted together to create a beautiful decoration. Once the decoration is complete, the obi body 100 is turned and adjusted so that the knot formed by the first decorative part 310 and the second decorative part 320 is at the back of the waist. This makes it easy to wear the decorative obi 1 with a beautiful knot.

[0027] This configuration allows for free knotting as an obi decoration, making it possible to wear a gorgeous obi in a simple manner. Also, since the first decorative part 310 is provided at the end (the most extreme part) of the pressure connection part 210 and is connected to the second decorative part 320, as shown in Figure 2, the force used to tie the pair of ornaments 300 around the waist can be used to firmly attach the pressure connection part 210 to the connection receiving part 220, making it possible to prevent the obi from loosening, slipping, or falling off.

[0028] The pressure connection part 210 and the connection receiving part 220 can be configured as a pair of hook-and-loop fasteners, one male and one female. By configuring the pressure connection part 210 and the connection receiving part 220 to be connected to each other with hook-and-loop fasteners, the pressure connection part 210 and the connection receiving part 220 can be detachably connected, allowing the obi body 100 to be worn around the user's waist at any length, making it suitable for users of all body shapes. In addition, the secure connection of the hook-and-loop fasteners prevents the obi from loosening, slipping, or falling off, making it possible to firmly wrap the ornament-attached obi 1 around the waist.

[0029] Furthermore, the pressure connection part 210 and the connection receiving part 220 can each be configured as a pair of male and female hook-and-loop fasteners made of ultra-fine microfiber fibers. Hook-and-loop fasteners made of microfiber have a structure in which ultra-fine fibers are caught in extremely small loops, which provides a strong connection and provides mild resistance when removing the fastener. Furthermore, the hook-and-loop fastener has strong resistance to lateral slippage when connected, which is advantageous in that it does not easily slip off during use. It is softer than general hook-and-loop fasteners, ensuring comfort when worn.

[0030] In this embodiment, the pressure connection part 210 and the connection receiving part 220 are each made of hook-and-loop fasteners made of microfiber, and the fiber fabric on the hook side is approximately 3 denier, while the loop side is made of extremely fine fibers of approximately 0.1 denier, thereby creating an ornamental obi 1 that is difficult to slip when worn and is comfortable to wear, but is not limited to these numerical values.

[0031] When using conventional hook-and-loop fasteners, there is a risk that the fastener surface will come into contact with the kimono body when the decorative obi is attached, causing the kimono to rub against it, resulting in damage to the kimono body and causing pilling.By using the above-mentioned hook-and-loop fastener made of microfiber, it is possible to provide an obi with decorative elements that maintains sufficient joining strength and does not damage the kimono body.

[0032] The obi body 100 can be double-layered, with the bottom closed and an opening on the top, or it can be configured with a pocket on the inside (the side closest to the user's body). This configuration allows it to be used as a small item holder when wearing the obi, making it possible to create a highly convenient obi with ornaments 1.

[0033] By configuring the decorative obi 1 as described above, it is possible to provide an obi with a decorative body that looks beautiful and presentable when worn, and that is able to be easily and quickly put on even by someone who has never worn a kimono before or in a situation where there is no one to help with putting it on, and that is prevented from loosening, slipping off, or falling off after being put on.
