Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to apparel. [Background technology]

[0002] As described in Patent Document 1 below, baby clothes for newborns and infants that can be easily put on and taken off are known. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-42502 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the sewn newborn / infant baby clothes described in Patent Document 1, snap buttons are provided at the crotch area connecting the front body and the back body, making them detachable so that the clothes can be put on and taken off. Snap buttons can only be engaged at a fixed position, so they are not suitable for applications such as making the front body adjustable and detachable. In addition, if the clothes are engaged only with snap buttons, the snap button's engaging force needs to be strong, and in some cases, a large operating force is required. In order to solve these problems, a hook-and-loop fastener has been proposed as a fastening means.

[0005] However, conventional hook-and-loop fasteners stick when the hook-shaped nap side is pressed against the loop-shaped nap side, and can be attached and removed freely, which presents further issues such as loud noises when putting on and taking off, and being hard against the skin.

[0006] An object of the present disclosure is to provide clothing that requires little operating force when parts of the clothing are detachably joined together and does not make a loud noise when put on or taken off. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present disclosure relates to a garment having a joining portion where a first clothing part and a second clothing part are overlapped and joined, and the joining portion allows a group of fine fibers provided on one side to be easily put on and taken off by friction in the extension direction of the fibers between a group of fine fibers provided on the other side. Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the present disclosure, when parts of clothing are releasably joined together, the operating force is low and no loud noise is generated when joining or removing the garment. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0009] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a front view showing a baby garment for newborns and infants according to a first embodiment. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a front view showing the baby garment for newborns and infants shown in FIG. 1 in a partially opened state. [Diagram 3] FIG. 3 is a front view showing a baby garment for newborns and infants according to a second embodiment. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is a front view showing the baby garment for newborns and infants shown in FIG. 3 in a partially opened state. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In order to facilitate understanding of the description, the same components in each drawing are denoted by the same reference numerals as much as possible, and duplicated description will be omitted.

[0011] The baby garment 2 for newborns and infants shown in Fig. 1 comprises a first clothing part 21 and a second clothing part 22. The first clothing part 21 has a first joining part 21a. The second clothing part 22 has a second joining part 22a. The first clothing part 21 and the second clothing part 22 can be joined by overlapping the first joining part 21a and the second joining part 22a.

[0012] As shown in FIG. 2, by pulling apart the first joint portion 21a and the second joint portion 22a, the joint state between the first clothing part 21 and the second clothing part 22 can be released, and the baby garment 2 for newborns and infants can be put on or taken off.

[0013] The first and second bonding portions 21a and 22a are detachable by friction between the fine fibers on one side and the fine fibers on the other side in the direction in which the fibers extend. For example, a sticky fabric having a soft texture as described in Japanese Patent No. 5564246 and Japanese Patent No. 5711901 is used to provide such a detachable form.

[0014] The infant baby garment 2A shown in Fig. 3 comprises a first clothing part 21A and a second clothing part 22A. The first clothing part 21A has a first joining part 21aA. The second clothing part 22A has a second joining part 22aA. The first clothing part 21A and the second clothing part 22A can be joined by overlapping the first joining part 21aA and the second joining part 22aA.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 4, by pulling apart the first joint portion 21aA and the second joint portion 22aA, the joint state between the first clothing part 21A and the second clothing part 22A can be released, and the baby garment 2A for newborns and infants can be put on or taken off.

[0016] The first and second bonding portions 21aA and 22aA are detachable by friction between the fine fibers on one side and the fine fibers on the other side in the direction in which the fibers extend. For example, a sticky fabric having a soft texture as described in Japanese Patent No. 5564246 and Japanese Patent No. 5711901 is used to provide such a detachable configuration.

[0017] As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, in addition to the joining means of the first joining portion 21aA and the second joining portion 22aA, a snap button may also be used.

[0018] The present embodiment has been described above with reference to specific examples. However, the present disclosure is not limited to these specific examples. Any design modifications made by a person skilled in the art to these specific examples are also included within the scope of the present disclosure as long as they have the features of the present disclosure. The elements of each of the above-mentioned specific examples and their arrangements, conditions, shapes, etc. are not limited to those exemplified and can be changed as appropriate. The combination of each of the elements of each of the above-mentioned specific examples can be changed as appropriate as long as no technical contradiction occurs.

[0019] [Note] [Appendix 1] A joining portion is provided for joining the first clothing portion and the second clothing portion together, The garment has a joining portion in which the group of fine fibers provided on one side and the group of fine fibers provided on the other side are freely attached and detached by friction in the extending direction of the fibers.

[0020] Although the specific example of Appendix 1 has been described as the baby clothes 2, 2A for newborns and infants, the present disclosure can be applied to all kinds of clothes other than the baby clothes for newborns and infants. Also, the part that is made removable can be made anywhere on the clothes, such as the sleeves.

[0021] According to Appendix 1, the joint is configured so that the group of fine fibers on one side and the group of fine fibers on the other side can be attached and detached by friction in the direction in which the fibers extend, and therefore is not configured so as to be attached and detached by an engagement state between the side that is raised in a hook shape and the side that is raised in a dense loop shape as in the conventional method, and can be attached and detached with a low operating force and without making a loud noise when attached and detached.
