Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] To provide a technique for a kimono with a tailored collar that allows the wearer to keep their back straight and look beautiful when worn, as if they were wearing a kimono undergarment with a half-collar even when they are not wearing a kimono undergarment. [Background technology]
[0002] Traditional kimonos usually have a relatively wide collar, about 5.5 cm wide. In this case, the collar is high and sewn in a straight line, so when fitting the kimono, it was common to adjust the body shape by wrapping a towel around the waist so that the body had a cylindrical shape.
[0003] In addition, the usual "ono-ori" part of a kimono is supposed to be made by tucking up the long kimono and using strings to make it horizontally straight and wrinkle-free; however, in reality, it can get tangled or become slanted when dressed, and it can also become loose after wearing, so it often ends up looking bulky and fat. As a result, it was considered difficult and troublesome to finish neatly.
[0004] These problems associated with wearing kimono could be solved by the wearer having their hair styled and dressed at a beauty salon or other facility, but this creates new problems in that the dressing process takes time and requires considerable expense.
[0005] Moreover, since the kimono is secured by wrapping the waist cord around the body, there is still the inconvenience of being unable to relieve the feeling of pressure caused by the tightness when wearing it.
[0006] For this reason, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems associated with conventional kimonos, the applicant of the present application has already proposed a "tailored collar and a full-length kimono with the tailored collar" as disclosed in Patent Document 1. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0007] [Patent Document 1] That is, in Patent Document 1, a collar body is formed by folding back the upper edge side of the collar cloth material in the longitudinal direction to the front and placing a core between the collar cloth material and the folded piece, a back cloth body having an upper end sewn to the longitudinal center of the collar body and hung down at an appropriate length, and a belt body having one side belt piece and the other side belt piece sewn to an appropriate position in the longitudinal direction of the back cloth body and distributed in the left and right directions, and each of the folded pieces located near one end and the other end in the longitudinal direction of the collar body is fastened to one side of the hook and loop fastener. the hook tape piece which is a hook fastener on one side is sewn separately to be integrated with the collar cloth material, the belt body has a hook tape piece which is a hook fastener on one side on the back side near the open end of either the one side belt piece or the other side belt piece, and the front side is formed as a pile fabric which is a hook fastener on the other side, and the hook tape piece which is separately provided on the collar body side and the hook tape piece which is provided on the belt body each can be fastened to the belt body side via the pile fabric. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0008] However, the tailored collar described in Patent Document 1 has a hook tape piece, which is a hook-and-loop fastener on one side, on the back side near the open end of either the one side belt piece or the other side belt piece, and is fixed to the main collar body using a belt body formed as a pile fabric whose front side is the hook-and-loop fastener on the other side.As a result, depending on how tight it is, it may come loose or the wearer may feel a sense of pressure, and because the tip of the collar is fixed to the belt body, there is a problem that the collar is prone to misalignment with the kimono, and the hook-and-loop collar may come off the kimono after it is worn.
[0009] Furthermore, pre-sewn collars require two separate fastening steps: first to the belt body and then to the hook-and-loop fastener, which is inconvenient as it requires an extra step.
[0010] The present invention was made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems encountered in the prior art, and aims to provide a kimono with a custom-fitted collar that can be easily fixed to the kimono rather than to the wearer's body, allowing the custom-fitted collar to follow the movement of the kimono and easily return to its original position when the wearer stands upright, thereby allowing the wearer to straighten their spine and make their back look beautiful when the collar is unbuttoned. [Means for solving the problem]
[0011] The present invention has been made to achieve the above object, and is composed of a tailored collar having a half-collar portion of an appropriate length with the horizontal direction as the length direction, and a pull-out collar portion hanging down from the lower edge of the center part of the length direction of the half-collar portion with the vertical direction as the length direction, which is roughly T-shaped in a plan view, and a main collar to which the tailored collar is attached and detached, and the tailored collar has the other seventh fastening member near the lower edge of the left collar tip of the half-collar portion on the side facing the nape, one of the first to third fastening members near the lower edge of the center part of the main collar facing the nape and adjacent positions on the left and right sides, one of the fourth fastening member and one of the fifth fastening member at left and right symmetrical positions near the lower edges of the left collar portion slightly away from the one second fastening member and the right collar portion slightly away from the one third fastening member. and one seventh fastening member at a symmetrical position near the lower edge of the other seventh fastening member at the right collar tip, and the kimono is equipped with the other first to third fastening members near the lower edge of the center of the part of the main collar facing the nape of the wearer and adjacent positions to the left and right of the center, the other fourth fastening member and the other fifth fastening member at symmetrical positions near the lower edges of the left main collar part, slightly away from the other second fastening member, and the right main collar part, slightly away from the other third fastening member, and the other sixth fastening member at a position facing the one sixth fastening member when the tailored collar is fastened, and is thus arranged so that the tailored collar can be freely attached and detached from the main collar, and can be freely removed via the removal collar part when the tailored collar is fastened. Effect of the Invention
[0012] According to the present invention, the half-collar portion of the tailored collar is provided with one of the first to third fastening members at the center of the facing side of the main collar and nearby positions on the left and right, and the kimono is provided with the other of the first to third fastening members at the center of the part of the main collar facing the wearer's nape and nearby positions on the left and right.Therefore, by engaging the first fastening member of one side to the first fastening member of the other side, the second fastening member of one side to the second fastening member of the other side, and the third fastening member of one side to the third fastening member of the other side, the tailored collar can be securely fastened to the main collar side of the kimono in a three-point fastening state, which is considered to be a stable fastening state.
[0013] In addition, the half-collar portion has one fourth fastening member and one fifth fastening member at symmetrical positions between the left collar portion slightly away from the one second fastening member and the right collar portion slightly away from the one front third fastening member, and the kimono has the other fourth fastening member and the other fifth fastening member at symmetrical positions between the left collar portion slightly away from the other second fastening member of the main collar and the right collar portion slightly away from the other third fastening member. Therefore, by fastening one fourth fastening member to the other fourth fastening member and one fifth fastening member to the other fifth fastening member, the fastened state of the half-collar portion to the main collar around the neck can be maintained more stably.
[0014] Furthermore, the half-collar portion is provided with the other 7th fastening member at the left collar tip portion of the half-collar portion facing the nape, and one 7th fastening member at a symmetrical position to the other 7th fastening member at the right collar tip portion. Therefore, when the right collar tip portion is placed on the bottom and the left collar tip portion is placed on the top and crossed over each other, the other 7th fastening member and the one 7th fastening member are engaged with each other, thereby making it possible to maintain an even more stable wearing state of the tailored collar when wearing the kimono, as if the wearer were wearing a kimono undergarment with a half-collar.
[0015] Furthermore, the half-collar portion has one sixth fastening member near the lower edge toward the right collar tip on the facing side of the main collar, and the kimono has the other sixth fastening member in a position facing the one sixth fastening member when the main collar is attached after tailoring. Therefore, the fastening state between the other seventh fastening member and the one seventh fastening member can be further stabilized by engaging the one sixth fastening member with the other sixth fastening member.
[0016] As a result, by stably fixing the tailored collar to the kimono rather than to the wearer's body, the tailored collar can move in accordance with the movement of the kimono, making it easier for the tailored collar to return to its original position when the wearer is standing upright.
[0017] Furthermore, by pulling the removable collar part downward on the kimono, the collar appears to be removed along with the part of the collar facing the nape of the neck, which helps to straighten the spine and make the back look beautiful when worn. [Brief description of the drawings]
[0018] [Figure 1] This is an exploded view of an example of the side of the tailored collar facing the nape in this invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a development diagram corresponding to FIG. 1 showing an example of the side of a tailored collar facing the actual collar in this invention. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the state of folding back from the state shown in FIG. 1 toward the neckline, in which (a) shows the state when folding begins, (b) shows the state after folding back further so that the right collar tip and the left collar tip cross, and (c) shows the positional relationship with the main collar side of the kimono when crossed further. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a front view of an example of a kimono in the present invention, unfolded so as to clarify the positional relationship of the other fastening member on the back of the collar. [Diagram 5] FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram corresponding to FIG. 4, showing the state when both collars are joined together for the example shown in FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0019] 1 and 2, of the tailored collar 12 and kimono 32 with a regular collar 33 that constitute the present invention, the tailored collar 11 is formed in an approximately T-shape when viewed from above, with a half-collar portion 13 whose length direction is in the horizontal direction and a loose collar portion 23 that is suspended from the lower edge 13a of the central portion 14 of the half-collar portion 13 in the length direction, with the length direction being in the vertical direction.
[0020] In this case, the half-collar portion 13 is formed using an appropriate cloth material with a maximum cloth width (both left and right ends) of approximately 95 mm when unfolded as shown in Figures 1 and 2, a minimum cloth width (central portion 14) of approximately 40 mm, and a total length of approximately 1,300 mm, and the unbuttoned collar portion 23 is formed using an appropriate cloth material with a width of approximately 100 cm and a length of approximately 550 mm.
[0021] 1, the other seventh fastening member 50 is disposed near the lower edge 13a of the left collar tip 16 on the nape-facing side 12a, the first to third fastening members 24 to 26 are disposed near the lower edge 13a of the center 14 on the main collar-facing side 13b and adjacent positions on the left and right sides thereof as shown in FIG. 2, and the left collar 15 and the third fastening member 25 are disposed slightly away from each other as shown in FIG. The collar is formed by comprising a fourth fastening member 27 and a fifth fastening member 28 at symmetrical positions near the lower edge 13a of the right collar portion 17 slightly away from the third fastening member 26, a sixth fastening member 29 at the lower edge 13a near the right collar tip 18 on the collar facing side 12b, and a seventh fastening member 30 at a symmetrical position near the lower edge 13a of the right collar tip 18 with the other seventh fastening member 50.
[0022] In this specification, for example, the ball (projection) side of a snap also called a push hook may be one of the first to seventh fastening members 24-30 and the socket (recess) side may be the other of the first to seventh fastening members 44-50, or vice versa. Also, one of the first to seventh fastening members 24-30 may be one hook-and-loop fastener (for example, hook tape pieces) and the other of the first to seventh fastening members 44-50 may be the other hook-and-loop fastener (for example, loop tape pieces).
[0023] On the other hand, the kimono 32 shown in the illustrated example as a full-length kimono is entirely formed with the other first to third fastening members 44-46 near the lower edge 33c at the central portion 35 of the area 34 facing the nape of the wearer, which is the back surface 33b side of the main collar 33, and adjacent positions to the left and right, as shown in Figure 4, the other fourth fastening member 47 and the other fifth fastening member 48 near the lower edge 33c at symmetrical positions between the left main collar portion 36, which is slightly away from the other second fastening member 45, and the right main collar portion 37, which is slightly away from the other third fastening member 46, and the other sixth fastening member 49 at a position facing the one sixth fastening member 29 when the finished collar 12 is fastened. For example, the collar width at the tip of each of the left and right collar portions 36, 37 of the main collar 33 is approximately 70 mm at its maximum, and gradually narrows toward the central portion 35, with the collar width at the central portion 35 being approximately 50 mm at its minimum.
[0024] Furthermore, when the kimono 32 is a full-length kimono as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, it is provided with a first tying string 38 to a sixth tying string 43 sewn at predetermined positions.
[0025] Next, the operation and effect of the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration will be explained. The half collar portion 13 of the tailored collar 12 has the first to third fastening members 24-26 on one side near the lower edge 13a of the center portion 14 of the main collar facing side 12b and its adjacent left and right positions as shown in FIG. 2. The kimono 32 has the first to third fastening members 24-26 on the other side near the lower edge 33c of the center portion 35 of the part 34 of the main collar 33 facing the nape of the wearer and its adjacent left and right positions as shown in FIG. Since the collar is provided with materials 44-46, by engaging one first fastening member 24 with the other first fastening member 44, one second fastening member 25 with the other second fastening member 45, and one third fastening member 26 with the other third fastening member 46, the main collar facing side 12b of the half collar portion 13 can be securely fastened to the back surface 33b of the main collar 33 of the kimono 32 in a three-point fastening state, which is considered to be a stable fastening state.
[0026] In addition, the half-collar 13 is provided with one fourth fastening member 27 and one fifth fastening member 28 at symmetrical positions near the lower edge 13a of the left collar 15, which is slightly away from the one second fastening member 25, and the right collar 17, which is slightly away from the one third fastening member 26, as shown in FIG. 2, and the kimono 32 is provided with the other fourth fastening member 47 and the other fifth fastening member 48 at symmetrical positions near the lower edge 33c of the left collar 36, which is slightly away from the other second fastening member 45, and the right collar 37, which is slightly away from the other third fastening member 46, as shown in FIG. 4. Therefore, by fastening one fourth fastening member 27 to the other fourth fastening member 47 and one fifth fastening member 28 to the other fifth fastening member 48, the fastened state of the half-collar 13 to the collar 33 around the neck can be maintained more stably.
[0027] Furthermore, the half-collar portion 13 is provided with the other seventh fastening member 50 near the lower edge 13a of the left collar tip portion 16 on the nape-facing side 12a, as shown in Figure 1, and with one seventh fastening member 30 at a symmetrical position to the other seventh fastening member 50 at the right collar tip portion 18 on the main collar-facing side 12b, as shown in Figure 2. Therefore, when the right collar tip portion 18 is placed below and the left collar tip portion 16 is placed above and crossed as shown in Figures 3(a) to (c), the other seventh fastening member 50 and one seventh fastening member 30 are engaged with each other, so that the tailored collar 12 can be more stably maintained when worn, as if a kimono undergarment with a half-collar is being worn.
[0028] Furthermore, the half-collar 13 has one sixth fastening member 29 near the lower edge 13a toward the right collar tip 18 on the main collar facing side 12b as shown in Figure 2, and the kimono 32 has the other sixth fastening member 49 as shown in Figure 4 in a position facing the one sixth fastening member 29 when the half-collar 13 is fastened to the main collar 33. Therefore, the fastening state between the other seventh fastening member 50 and the one seventh fastening member 30 can be further reinforced and made more stable by engaging the one sixth fastening member 29 with the other sixth fastening member 49.
[0029] As a result, the tailored collar 12 can be stably fixed to the kimono 32 side rather than to the wearer's body, with a sense of unity, and the tailored collar can easily follow the movement of the kimono 32 and return to its original position when the wearer stands upright.
[0030] Moreover, by pulling the removable collar part 23 of the fitted collar 12 attached to the kimono 32 downward, the collar appears to be removed together with the part 34 of the collar 33 facing the nape, thereby making the back look beautiful when worn by straightening the spine.
[0031] In other words, the attachment of the tailored collar 12 to the main collar 33 side of the kimono 32 can be easily done by anyone through a series of similar fastening operations in which the first fastening member 24 of one side is attached to the first fastening member 44 of the other side, the second fastening member 25 of one side is attached to the second fastening member 45 of the other side, the third fastening member 26 of one side is attached to the third fastening member 46 of the other side, the fourth fastening member 27 of one side is attached to the fourth fastening member 47 of the other side, the fifth fastening member 28 of one side is attached to the fifth fastening member 48 of the other side, the sixth fastening member 29 of one side is attached to the sixth fastening member 49 of the other side, and the seventh fastening member 30 of one side is attached to the seventh fastening member 50 of the other side, which are positioned so that they face each other.
[0032] Furthermore, since the width of the main collar 33 of the kimono 32 at the left and right main collar portions 36, 37 is narrower than the width of the half collar portion 13, when the kimono is worn, part of the tailored collar 12 can be exposed from under the surface 33a of the main collar 33 as shown in Figure 5. This allows the kimono 32 to be worn as if it were wearing a kimono undergarment, even if it is not. [Explanation of symbols]
