Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the lower garment of a two-piece kimono.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, as a kimono that can be easily worn by a single person, a two-piece kimono has been developed. However, the two-piece kimono is required not only to be easy to wear but also to be as beautiful in appearance as a one-piece kimono.

[0003] For example, the two-piece kimono described in Patent Document 1 is configured to be able to form a folded-back portion (so-called ohashori) formed on the lower side of the chest. Thus, the two-piece kimono disclosed in Patent Document 1 is said to have the effect that it is indistinguishable from a conventional one-piece kimono when worn and can be easily worn.

[0004] In addition, the two-piece kimono has been developed so that, for example, a person with difficulty walking can also easily wear it. For example, Patent Document 2 discloses an invention of a clothing set for a wheelchair user. This clothing set includes an upper garment and a lower garment formed by cutting a kimono into a predetermined shape. The lower garment is provided with an elastic rubber member along the circumference of the waist-side opening. Further, the lower right hem of the lower garment is sewn closed inside the left hem so that the hem does not spread even when the wearer's foot moves greatly. On the other hand, like the lower garment disclosed in Patent Document 2, when the hem is sewn closed, there are some wearers who have difficulty wearing it, such as a person with difficulty walking. Also, when the hem is sewn closed, there is a problem that the range of movement of the foot becomes narrow.

[0005] By the way, in the case of a lower garment with an unsewn hem, when sitting on a low chair, the waist drops and the hem spreads. Also, if sitting in a wheelchair for a long time, the spread becomes large. Then, there was a problem that the feet would spill out from under the hem and be visible. Also, when the hem is not sewn closed, there is a problem that the front of the hem protrudes from the front.

Brief Description of the Drawings

[0020] [Figure 1] It is a schematic front view of the lower garment of the two-piece kimono according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] It is a schematic rear view of the lower garment shown in FIG. 1. [Figure 3] It is an enlarged view of the dart portion shown in FIG. 1.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0021] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the lower garment of the two-piece kimono according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The two-piece kimono according to this embodiment is a two-piece kimono with a Tsutsumi sleeve, but the two-piece kimono according to the present invention is not limited to this.

[0022] FIG. 1 is a schematic front view of the lower garment 1 of the two-piece kimono according to this embodiment (hereinafter simply referred to as "lower garment 1"), and FIG. 2 is a schematic rear view of the lower garment 1. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the double-headed arrow X indicates the left-right direction, and the double-headed arrow Z indicates the up-down direction. In the same figure, the pattern of the lower garment 1 is omitted for the purpose of explaining the present invention. The pattern presence / absence and pattern design of the lower garment 1 according to the present invention are not particularly limited.

[0023] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the lower garment 1 is formed in a roughly rectangular shape that is long in the left-right direction. The lower garment 1 comprises a lower garment body 2 and a waist portion 4. The lower garment body 2 has a left front panel 21, a left front body panel 22, a left back body panel 23, a right back body panel 24, a right front body panel 25, a right front panel 26, a dart 27, and additional fabric 28. Although not shown in the figures, the lower garment body 2 may further have a lining and a hem lining.

[0024] The left front panel 21, left front bodice 22, left back bodice 23, right back bodice 24, right front bodice 25, right front panel 26, additional fabric 28, and waist section 4 are made of the same fabric. However, this is merely an example, and for example, the fabric of the additional fabric 28 and waist section 4 may differ from the fabric of the other parts. The fabric of the left front panel 21, left front bodice 22, left back bodice 23, right back bodice 24, right front bodice 25, right front panel 26, additional fabric 28, and waist section 4 is made of, for example, silk, cotton, polyester, linen, etc., and is not particularly limited.

[0025] The "under-front" according to the present invention is composed of a right front panel 25, a right front panel 26, and an additional piece of fabric 28 that extends continuously to the right from the right front panel 26. However, the under-front of the present invention may be composed of, for example, a single continuous piece of fabric.

[0026] The left front panel 21, left front body panel 22, left back body panel 23, right back body panel 24, right front body panel 25, right front panel 26, and additional fabric 28 are each composed of roughly rectangular pieces of fabric.

[0027] The left front panel 21 and the right front panel 26 are formed with a width of approximately 150 mm and a height of approximately 1050 mm, respectively.

[0028] The left front panel 22 and the right front panel 25 are formed with a width of approximately 270 mm and a height of approximately 1050 mm, respectively.

[0029] The left back panel 23 and the right back panel 24 are formed with a width of approximately 280 mm and a height of approximately 1050 mm, respectively.

[0030] The left front panel 21, left front bodice 22, left back bodice 23, right back bodice 24, right front bodice 25, and right front panel 26 are each sewn together to form a rectangle.

[0031] The dart 27 is formed above the vertical center, extending from the right edge of the right front panel 26 to the center of the right front bodice 25. The length of the dart 27 in the left-right direction is 100mm to 350mm, preferably 200mm to 350mm. This longer length of the dart 27 in the left-right direction makes it less likely for wrinkles and stiffness to form on the right front panel 26 and the right front bodice 25.

[0032] In this embodiment, the vertical position of the dart 27 is formed approximately 200 mm from the upper end of the waist portion 4, which will be described later. However, this is merely an example, and the vertical position of the dart 27 may be, for example, between 100 mm and 250 mm from the upper end of the waist portion 4. With the dart 27 positioned in this way, for example, when wearing a formal kimono, the dart 27 does not overlap with the pattern on the front, thus not detracting from the aesthetic appeal of the pattern.

[0033] As shown in Figure 3, the length of the fabric in the vertical direction sewn away by the dart 27 (i.e., Z1*2) is 50mm to 150mm. In this embodiment, the length of the dart 27 in the horizontal direction is 310mm, and the length of the fabric in the vertical direction sewn away is 100mm.

[0034] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the lower garment 1 has its upper and lower lengths of the right front panel 25 and the right front panel 26 shortened diagonally toward the right front panel 26 by darts 27, so that the upper edge and hem formed by the right front panel 25 and the right front panel 26 are shortened diagonally. In addition, the three-dimensional shape formed by the darts 27 allows the lower garment 1 to wrap around the wearer's body lines, just as when wearing ordinary lower garments 1 with a straight hem.

[0035] The additional fabric 28 is made up of a roughly rectangular piece of fabric. The additional fabric 28 is formed with a width of approximately 330 mm and a height of approximately 950 mm. The additional fabric 28 is sewn to the right front panel 26, which has been shortened by a dart 27, and extends continuously to the right from the right front panel 26. As a result, the additional fabric 28 is formed in a flat shape, unaffected by the dart 27.

[0036] Furthermore, this means that the dart 27 extends 330 mm from the right edge of the lower front panel (i.e., the right edge of the additional fabric 28) toward the right back panel 24 (i.e., toward the left).

[0037] The waist portion 4 has a predetermined length in the vertical direction and extends in the horizontal direction. In this embodiment, the waist portion 4 is formed with a vertical length of approximately 50 mm and a horizontal length of approximately 1740 mm. The waist portion 4 is sewn continuously to the upper end of the lower garment body 2.

[0038] The waist portion 4 has elastic (not shown) extending in the left-right direction in the central part in the left-right direction, forming shirring 41. This makes the lower garment 1 easier to wear and allows the waist size to be adjusted within a certain range.

[0039] Furthermore, the formation of shirring 41 creates multiple gathers 29 extending vertically at the upper edges of the left back panel 23, the right back panel 24, and the right front panel 25. As a result, the upper left-right length of the lower garment body 2 is shorter than the lower left-right length. This allows the lower garment 1 to further conform to the wearer's body lines and envelop the wearer.

[0040] Shirring 41 is not formed on the left front panel 21, the left back panel 23, the right front panel 26, or above the additional fabric 28. Therefore, when the lower garment 1 is worn, no wrinkles are formed on the front due to the gathers 29.

[0041] The lower garment 1 further comprises multiple hook-and-loop fasteners 5, multiple (three in this embodiment) first belt loops 6, and second belt loops 7.

[0042] Multiple (three in this embodiment) hook-and-loop fasteners 5a are arranged on the outer fabric of the waist portion 4, above the right front panel 25, the right front panel 26, and the additional fabric 28, spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction. Additionally, multiple (three in this embodiment) hook-and-loop fasteners 5b are arranged on the lining of the waist portion 4, above the left back panel 23, the left front panel 22, and the left front panel 21, spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction. The lower garment 1 can be easily positioned by the wearer when putting it on by overlapping and securing the hook-and-loop fasteners 5a on the surface and hook-and-loop fasteners 5b on the back. The number of hook-and-loop fasteners 5 is not particularly limited.

[0043] The first belt loops 6 are provided on the left, right, and center of the shirring 41. The number of first belt loops 6 is not particularly limited. The first belt loops 6 are not provided on the waist portion 4 above the left front panel 22. As a result, the left front panel 22 is relatively unaffected by the Velcro when fastened with the Velcro, allowing for free adjustment of its position to create a tapered hem and beautifully display the pattern of the lower garment 1.

[0044] The second belt loop 7 is positioned extending vertically at approximately the left end and upper end of the left front panel 21. The second belt loop 7 has two layers of loops, one above the other. Each loop is configured to accommodate a Velcro belt approximately 50 mm wide. Note that the number of layers of loops and the size of the loops are merely examples and are not limited thereto.

[0045] The second belt loop 7 is positioned lower than the first belt loop 6. When the lower garment 1 is put on, passing the Velcro belt through the first belt loop 6 and the second belt loop 7 lifts the left front panel 21 upwards, thereby creating a tapered hem. Furthermore, since the second belt loop 7 is composed of two loops, the degree to which the hem is raised can be appropriately adjusted according to the wearer's height by passing the Velcro belt through any loop according to the wearer's height.

[0046] <How to put on lower garments> Next, we will explain how to put on the lower garment 1.

[0047] (1) First, hold the left and right sides of the lower garment 1 with your right and left hands and adjust its position in the left-right direction according to your body shape. For example, depending on your body shape, you may adjust it so that the left-right center of the back coincides with the left-right center of the back panel (the boundary between the left back panel 23 and the right back panel 24), or you may adjust it so that the left-right center of the back panel is around the left hip. If the wearer uses a wheelchair, the wearer should spread the lower garment 1 on the wheelchair and adjust its position in the left-right direction beforehand, and then sit on the lower garment 1 spread on the wheelchair.

[0048] (2) Next, wrap the lower garment 1 around the waist so that the additional fabric 28 and the right front panel 26 are on the bottom, and temporarily fasten it using the hook-and-loop fasteners 5. Depending on the body shape, all of the hook-and-loop fasteners 5 may be overlapped and fastened, or only some of the hook-and-loop fasteners 5 may be overlapped and fastened. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the upper right edge of the lower garment 1 is lowered by the dart 27, so when the front and back hook-and-loop fasteners 5 are overlapped, the lower front is naturally lifted upwards. This makes it easier to form a tapered hem. Also, because the dart 27 is formed, the left side of the lower front can be lifted and worn even when sitting in a wheelchair. Therefore, the lower front does not protrude from the upper front.

[0049] (3) Next, thread the Velcro belt through the belt loops to securely fasten the lower garment 1 to the waist. At this time, thread the Velcro belt through either the upper or lower belt loop of the second belt loop 7, according to the wearer's height.

[0050] <Effects of the present invention> Next, I will explain the effect of lower garment 1.

[0051] Since the second belt loop 7 is positioned lower than the first belt loop 6, passing the Velcro belt through it lifts the left front panel 21 upwards. As a result, the right side of the upper front panel is lifted upwards, and the left side of the lower front panel is lifted upwards by the fastening of the hook-and-loop fastener 5, thus creating a more appropriate tapered hem. Furthermore, by lifting the lower front panel while giving it a three-dimensional fullness through darting, it is possible to provide a natural fit similar to a kimono without darting.

[0052] Furthermore, the lower garment 1, equipped with darts 27 and additional fabric 28, allows the garment to perform its original function of enveloping the body while also preventing the legs from spilling out and the lower hem from protruding from the upper hem, even when sitting on a low chair such as a wheelchair.

[0053] Furthermore, when sitting with legs spread apart, in a typical kimono, the edge of the lower front overlaps the left front panel 22, creating a step in the left front panel 22. This can cause a step or sink in the pattern on the left front panel 22, detracting from the aesthetic appeal of the pattern. However, the lower garment 1 according to this embodiment is equipped with an additional piece of fabric 28, so that even when sitting with legs spread apart, the support provided by the additional fabric 28 prevents such a step from occurring, thus maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the kimono.

[0054] Furthermore, the lower garment 1, equipped with additional fabric 28, can envelop even a wearer with a fuller figure. Also, by tightly wrapping the lower garment 1 around the body, it can reduce the spread of the legs when sitting.

[0055] The lower garment 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the lower garment of the two-piece kimono according to the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the lower garment of the two-piece kimono according to the present invention may be implemented by the following modifications.

[0056] <Variation> The lower garment 1 may, for example, have multiple darts 27. In this case, the lengths of each dart 27 may be different.

[0057] The lower garment 1 may, for example, have the hem of the right front panel 25 and the right front panel 26 pre-formed diagonally by cutting, and the hem of the right front panel 25 and the right front panel 26 may be formed upward by darts 27. [Explanation of symbols]
