Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a garment having features at the cuffs. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there are known clothes (rainwear, work clothes, etc.) that are worn in wet situations such as the sea, rivers, and during rainfall. Such clothes have a waterproof outer fabric such as nylon or polyester, and some of them have a waterproof function at the cuffs to prevent water from entering the inside.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a double-layered cuff consisting of an inner cuff made of a waterproof, permeable fabric (neoprene rubber, etc.) and an outer cuff made of a waterproof, moisture-proof fabric (polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, etc.) The tip of the inner cuff is narrowed by passing rubber through it, making it difficult for water to penetrate inside.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2019-99949 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The cuffs of the above configuration only have rubber threaded through the tip of the inner cuff, which is not a sufficient measure to prevent water from getting in through the cuffs. In addition, the joint area between the inner cuff and the outer cuff is sewn, and if the amount of moisture in this area increases, such as when the hand is placed in water, water can easily get inside through the sewn area.

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide clothing with cuffs that are less susceptible to water seepage. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention relates to a garment having cuffs comprising a first fabric that is stretchable and fits closely around the wrist of the wearer, and a second fabric that is waterproof and fastened to the upper arm side of the first fabric, the garment comprising an overlapping portion formed by folding back the wrist side end of the second fabric and sewing the upper arm side end of the first fabric onto the folded back portion, and a seam tape is affixed to the seam formed by sewing the overlapping portion.

[0008] The cuffs of the above-mentioned garments are provided with a first fabric that fits closely around the wrist of the wearer, and a second fabric that is fastened to the arm side of the first fabric and has waterproofing. This fastening structure includes an overlapping portion formed by folding back the wrist side end of the second fabric and overlapping and sewing the upper arm side end of the first fabric to this folded back portion, and a seam tape is affixed to the seam formed by sewing the overlapping portion, thereby preventing water from entering through the seam. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the present invention, a garment is provided with cuffs that are less likely to allow water to get inside. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the garment according to the present invention will be described. Figures 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the clothing (rainwear), where Figure 1 is a front view, Figure 2 is an enlarged view of the cuff portion, Figure 3 is a view showing the cuff portion cut along the longitudinal direction of the arm, (a) is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the fastening portion of the first fabric and the second fabric, (b) is a cross-sectional view showing the overall structure of the fastening portion, and Figure 4 is a schematic view of the fastening portion of the fabric that makes up the cuff.

[0012] The garment according to this embodiment (hereinafter referred to as rainwear 1), like ordinary garments, comprises a rear body (not shown) located on the back side of the wearer, and a front body 3 located on the front side of the wearer. A fastener 5 is provided in the center of the front body 3, and the left and right front bodies are opened and removed by opening and closing the fastener 5. In addition, the left and right front bodies 3 are each provided with a pocket 6 that is opened and closed by a fastener 6a.

[0013] On both sides between the front and back body, cylindrical sleeves 8 are provided above the left and right underarm parts 7. The sleeves 8 are the portions through which the wearer's arms are inserted, and when the garment is worn, the wearer's wrists protrude from openings 10a of cuffs 10 at the leading ends.

[0014] The sleeves 8 and cuffs 10 provided on the rainwear 1 of this embodiment will be described below. Each of the left and right sleeves 8 has a cuff 10 with the same configuration.

[0015] The cuff 10 comprises a first fabric 20 which is stretchable and fits snugly around the wrist of the wearer, and a second fabric 30 which is waterproof and fastened (sewn) to the upper arm side of the first fabric 20, both of which are formed into a tubular shape that covers the area from the elbow to the wrist of the wearer 360°.

[0016] The first fabric 20 is made of a stretchable material so as to fit closely to the wrist of the wearer, and is made of, as is well known, neoprene, a material in which a waterproof film is applied to a knitted fabric, or a water-repellent material. The second fabric 30 is made of a material that is waterproof (water-repellent) and moisture-proof. The upper arm side end of the first fabric 20 and the wrist side end of the second fabric 30 are sewn together around the entire circumference.

[0017] In this embodiment, the first fabric 20 and the second fabric 30 are integrated by sewing a plurality of overlapping parts in the longitudinal direction of the sleeve 8. Specifically, the wrist side end 31 of the second fabric 30 is folded inward to form a folded part 32, and the folded part 32 is overlapped with an end region including the upper arm side end 21 of the first fabric 20, and the overlapping part is sewn in a ring shape to form an overlapping part (also referred to as a first overlapping part) 40. In addition, the wrist side end 22 of the first fabric 20 is folded inward so as not to overlap with the overlapping part 40 to form a folded part 23, and the overlapping part of the folded part 23 is sewn in a ring shape to form a wrist side overlapping part (also referred to as a second overlapping part) 50. Although the wrist side end 22 of the first fabric 20 may not be folded over, by folding it over towards the upper arm as in this embodiment, the appearance can be improved.

[0018] A second overlapping portion 50 which is an overlapping portion of the folded portion 23 formed by the folding The ends of the first and second fabrics 20 and 30 are sewn together. As described above, the first and second overlapping portions 40 and 50 are folded back so that they do not overlap with each other in the longitudinal direction of the sleeve, and the first and second overlapping portions 40 and 50 are shifted from each other in the longitudinal direction so as not to overlap with each other (so that the portions do not become thicker and have a step).

[0019] A seam tape 60 is attached from the inner surface to the seam 40a sewn to the first overlapping portion 40 and the seam 50a sewn to the second overlapping portion 50. The seam tape 60 is made of a waterproof material, and covers the seams 40a, 50a by welding, adhesion, or the like, and is attached so that these seams are not exposed.

[0020] The seam tape 60 may be attached directly to the first fabric 20, but it is preferable to attach it via a waterproof fabric 65. This makes it difficult for the seam tape 60 to peel off, and effectively prevents water from seeping in through the seams (improves waterproofness). In this case, the waterproof fabric 65 is made from scraps of the second fabric 30 cut into strips, eliminating the need to manufacture a dedicated fabric 65 and reducing costs.

[0021] In this embodiment, fabric 65 cut into strips and shaped into a band is folded back on the wrist side to form folded back portion 66, which is fastened by stitching seam 50a of second overlapping portion 50. Also, on the upper arm side, it is aligned with upper arm side end 21 of first fabric 20 and fastened by stitching seam 40a of first overlapping portion 40. According to such a fastening method, the seam tape 60 can be stably fastened to the seam of the overlapping portion.

[0022] The cuff 10 configured as described above can prevent water from seeping in through the seams of the cuff (seams 40a, 50a). For example, even if a person wearing the rainwear 1 puts his or her arm into a bucket of water, water is effectively prevented from seeping in from the wrist side end 65A (see FIG. 4) of the waterproof fabric 65 toward the upper arm.

[0023] Furthermore, since the first overlapping portion 40 and the second overlapping portion 50 are not shifted or overlapped in the longitudinal direction of the sleeve 8, they can be easily sewn, and since no large step is created, the adhesion of the seam tape 60 is improved, the waterproofness is higher, and the wearer's arms can move more easily.

[0024] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a schematic diagram of a fastening portion of a cuff according to a second embodiment. Although the cuff 10 of the first embodiment described above has a single-layer structure, it may have a double-layer structure in which the second fabric 30 described above is laminated on the inside and outside. In other words, it may be configured by layering the third fabric 30A on the outside of the second fabric 30 that is the inside. In this way, it is possible to appropriately modify the second fabric constituting the cuff 10. Furthermore, the third fabric 30A arranged on the outside of the second fabric 30 may be made of the same material as the second fabric 30, or may be made of a different material.

[0025] In the double-layered cuff, the wrist side end of the outer third fabric 30A can be folded back and sewn together to form an integrated part. By applying seam tape 80 to the sewn seam, it is possible to prevent water from entering between the first fabric 20 and the third fabric 30A.

[0026] Furthermore, by interposing mesh rubber 81 on the folded-back portion of the second outer fabric 30, the folded-back portion is welded, and damage to the opening of the cuffs is prevented.

[0027] The embodiment of the garment according to the present invention has been described above. The feature of this embodiment is that the above-mentioned parts are covered with seam tape 60, and the other parts are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment and can be modified in various ways.
