Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] In the side sweat-sewn inner shirt described in Document 1 above, a sweat pad is sewn and used. By sewing the sweat pad in this way, there is an effect of preventing the leakage of side sweat.
[0005] However, when the amount of sweat that has leaked into the sweat pad exceeds a certain amount and increases, sweat and body odor may also penetrate into the clothing itself, and there is a problem in continuous prevention.
[0006] In the disposable sweat pad described in Document 2 above, there is an effect of continuously preventing the leakage of side sweat by replacing the pad.
[0007] However, attaching the pads under the armpits was time-consuming, and there was a problem with the pads falling out even after being secured.
[0008] In the underarm cooling garment described in reference 3 above, the pad is repeatedly attached and detached for use. The insertion opening is constructed with overlapping upper and lower fabrics, forming an oval-shaped pouch that is almost identical in shape to the pad. This method effectively cools the underarm area.
[0009] However, since wearers have various body shapes, the pad may not fit properly in certain areas. Also, if the pad and the pad storage bag are the same size when repeatedly attached and detached, it can affect the attachment and detachment of the pad. In situations involving physical activity such as commuting or sports, the pad may fall out. Furthermore, it does not absorb underarm sweat, so it is not effective at preventing underarm sweat.
[0010] The present invention relates to an undershirt with replaceable underarm sweat-absorbing pads, which aims to easily prevent underarm sweat and odor from seeping through and to provide comfort. [Means for solving the problem]
[0011] The inner shirt according to the present invention is an inner shirt made of fabric, and has an underarm sweat-absorbing storage pocket inside the underarm area of the inner shirt, with a fastener such as hook-and-loop fastener at the end of the sweat-absorbing pad insertion opening. This prevents the sweat-absorbing pad from falling out.
[0012] From the aforementioned perspective, the storage pocket attached to the underarm of the inner shirt is made of mesh fabric. By inserting a hand through the wide neckline of the inner shirt, the end of the sweat pad insertion opening located at the tip of the mesh fabric attached to the underarm is grasped and opened, and the sweat pad is then stored in the mesh fabric storage pocket. Furthermore, the inner shirt fabric is made of a stretchable material, which makes it easy to widen and open the neckline, and allows for the removal and replacement of the sweat pad while wearing the inner shirt. In addition, a hook-and-loop fastener is attached to the end of the storage pocket insertion opening. The hook-and-loop fastener attached to the insertion opening is located at the tip of the mesh fabric, on the sleeve side, and has male and female parts that separate into the mesh fabric side and the fabric side. Furthermore, closing the hook-and-loop fastener prevents the sweat pad from falling out.
[0013] Next, the sweat-absorbing pad storage pouch is formed from mesh fabric into a rectangular shape. The area ratio of the mesh fabric attached to the underarm area of the inner shirt is such that, for example, in the men's L size (according to the Japan Standard Industrial Classification), when the mesh fabric is laid flat, the vertical length is in the range of 10cm to 12cm and the horizontal length is in the range of 12cm to 14cm. The cutting ratio is 3:4, with the vertical length being 3 and the horizontal length being 4. The mesh fabric is positioned vertically from the arm side to the torso side so as to cover the edge of the underarm. This ensures sufficient placement area, improves conformability, and also prevents the sweat-absorbing pad from shifting position.
[0014] Since the aforementioned sweat-absorbing pad storage bag is a storage bag with removable and replaceable pads, commercially available sweat-wiping sheets, underarm odor sheets, cooling sheets, etc., can also be used in combination and effectively utilized if applicable.
[0015] The sweat-absorbing pad is square and in a square plate shape according to the shape of the mesh fabric. This ensures an arrangement area and can capture the exuded sweat. Also, the pad is formed of a sponge material and has rounded corners, which allows for easy detachment and replacement. Furthermore, applying an antiperspirant or deodorant, etc. to the pad can prevent body odor and armpit sweat. Also, since the pad is made of a sponge material, it can be repeatedly used by washing it with water. The area ratio in the pad storage bag is set within the range of 3 / 5 of the horizontal length when the mesh fabric of the pad storage bag is laid flat. This makes it easier to cover the armpit area. However, the body sizes of the wearers vary, so it is not necessarily required to conform to the ratio.
Advantages of the Invention
[0016] The present invention aims to obtain high comfort in daily life by enabling easy detachment and repeated detachment and replacement of the armpit sweat-absorbing pads without changing the inner shirt during high-temperature seasons such as summer. It is an inner shirt with replaceable armpit sweat-absorbing pads.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0018] Hereinafter, embodiments of the underarm sweat-absorbing pad detachable inner shirt of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. For ease of understanding the description, in each drawing, the same reference numerals are used for the same components as much as possible, and redundant descriptions are omitted.
[0019] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the inner shirt 10 has a front body 11, a back body 12, and left and right sleeves 23, 23 that are integrated by joining lines L12, L12 and L11, L11, L13, L13, L14, L14, and storage bags for sweat-absorbing pads 30 are formed on the inner surfaces of the left and right underarm peripheries. The front body 11 and the back body 12 are formed to be substantially the same shape and size, but the collar grooves 11n and 12n at the front edge draw a deeper curve for the front body 11 and a shallower curve for the back body 12 to form the collar opening 20, and the outer edges of the left and right sleeves 23, 23 form the cuffs 22, and the rear edges of the front body 11 and the back body 12 are also released to form the hem opening 21.
[0020] Regarding the inner shirt 10, the outer surface of the fabric 7 is designated as the inner shirt 10A, and the inner surface of the fabric 7 is designated as the inner shirt 10B. As shown in FIG. 2, in the inner shirt 10A, it is formed by the sleeve 23, the front body 11, and the back body 12. In the inner shirt 10B shown in FIG. 1 It is formed across the joining line between the sleeve 23 and the body 24, is located under the armpits on both the left and right sides, and adheres to the mesh fabric 41. Also, it serves as the part (the inner surface of the underarm periphery) that opposes the underarm of the wearer. This part will also be referred to as the "armpit part 40" hereinafter.
[0021] Also, from the wearer's skin, there are sequentially the mesh fabric 41, the sweat-absorbing pad 30, and the inner shirt 10, forming a three-layer structure (see FIG. 8).
[0022] The sweat-absorbing pad 30, which is stored in the underarm area 40, will be referred to as "pad 30" below. The structure of pad 30 will be described below. Pad 30 is made of a sponge material with excellent absorbency. Also, since the shape of the pad storage bag is rectangular, pad 30 is also shaped to fit a rectangle and can be stored inside. And because the shape is a rectangular plate, it secures a placement area and can reliably capture seeping sweat.
[0023] As shown in Figure 3, the inner shirt 10B (described in Figure 1) allows the user to insert their hand into the wide-open collar 20 of the inner shirt, grasp the end of the pad storage bag insertion opening 9 at the tip of the mesh fabric 41 attached to the side 40, open it, insert the pad 30, and place it into the storage bag of the mesh fabric 41. Furthermore, the hook-and-loop fastener connector 8 attached to the pad storage bag insertion opening has male and female parts, separated into the mesh fabric 41 side and the fabric side 7. This prevents the pad 30 from falling out by closing the hook-and-loop fastener connector 8. The part referred to as the pad storage bag insertion opening is also called the "pad insertion opening 9".
[0024] Next, the cutting patterns for the inner shirt will be explained. Figures 4, 5, and 6 show the front body pattern 1, back body pattern 2, and sleeve pattern 3 that form the inner shirt 10, and the areas demarcated by the dotted lines in the figures correspond to the front body 11, back body 12, and sleeve 23, respectively. Patterns 1, 2, and 3 of both cuts are enlarged by a predetermined width by the front body 11, back body 12, and sleeve 23. The band-shaped portion at the lower edge is provided with folded seams 1a and 2b, forming the hem 21. The neckline is provided as 11n and 12n. Folded seam allowances 1d and 2d are provided to form the neckline 20. Furthermore, a folded seam opening 3n is provided to form the cuff 22. The seam allowances for the front bodice pattern 1 are 1b, 1c, 1e, 1f, 1g, and 1h; the seam allowances for the back bodice pattern 2 are 2b, 2c, 2e, 2f, 2g, and 2h; and the seam allowances for the sleeve pattern 3 are 3a, 3b, and 3c, which form the joining lines L11, L12, L13, and L14.
[0025] The joining portions on both sides of the front body 11 and back body 12 of the inner shirt 10 are provided with seam allowances 1g and 1h on the shoulder portion of pattern 1, and are provided with seam allowances 2g and 2h on the shoulder portion of pattern 2 so that they match, and the joining portions of the torso are provided with seam allowances 1b and 1c on pattern 1 and seam allowances 2b and 2c on pattern 2 so that they match. Figure 7 shows the sleeve pattern 3 that forms the sleeves 23, 23, and Figures 7(A) and (B) are symmetrical. In the figure, a folded seam allowance 3n is provided, forming a sleeve fold. Furthermore, Seam allowances 3b and 3c are provided. By sewing these together, a tubular sleeve 23 is formed. The sleeve pattern 3 seam allowance 3a that connects the sleeves 23 to the torso is provided to match the seam allowances 1e and 1f provided on the front bodice 11 of pattern 1, and similarly, it is provided to match the seam allowances 2e and 2f provided on the back bodice 12 of pattern 2.
[0026] The mesh fabric 41 has a rectangular shape. Figure 7 shows the mesh fabric 41 being formed by sewing it to the sleeve 23 and the front body 11 of the inner shirt 10. The mesh fabric 41 is pre-cut into pieces. These cut pieces are provided straddling the joining line L12 between the sleeve 23 and the front body 11. They are also provided along the joining lines L13 and L14 shown in the figure. The required seam allowances around the mesh fabric 41 are 4b, 4c, and 4d. The pad insertion opening 9 is 4a. 4a is the leading edge of the mesh fabric and is folded flat three times, creating a gap with the fabric to serve as the insertion opening for the pad 30. The inner shirt 10 is formed using the fabric cut according to patterns 1, 2, and 3, as well as the cut pieces shown in the shape of the mesh fabric 41.
[0027] The mesh fabric 41 of the side storage bag 40 described above is made of a breathable material, and polyester and nylon are commonly used. The mesh fabric can be Russell mesh, polyester mesh, tricot mesh, etc., and a wide variety of fabrics can be selected. Furthermore, materials that possess elasticity and breathability are also widely used in clothing such as undershirts.
[0028] As described above, the cut pieces of the front bodice 11 and back bodice 12, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, are placed right sides together, and the seam allowances 1b, 1c, 1g, and 1h of pattern 1 of the front bodice 11 are aligned with the seam allowances 2b, 2c, 2g, and 2h of pattern 2 of the back bodice 12, and then sewn together. Next, the seam allowances 3b and 3c of pattern 3 of sleeve 23, as shown in Figure 6(A), are aligned and the fabric is sewn into a tubular shape. The seam allowance of pattern 3 of sleeve 23, as shown in Figure 6(B), is sewn in the same way. Then, the seam allowance 3a of pattern 3 of the tubular sleeve 23, as shown in Figure 6(A, B), is sewn to the seam allowances 1e and 1f of pattern 1 of the front body 11 and the seam allowances 2e and 2f of pattern 2 of the back body 12. As a result, the left and right sleeves 23, 23 of the front body 11 and back body 12 are sewn together, and the mesh fabric 41 is attached to the side portion 40 that spans the front body 11 and the left and right sleeves 23, 23, creating a sewn product. Turning this inside out reveals the surface joint lines L11, L12, L13, L14 (see Figure 2), completing the inner shirt 10.
