Abstract

To provide a kimono which is easy to wear and the hem of which does not easily come undone. [Solution] The kimono 1 is easy to wear because the top 2, bottom 3, and belt-like member 4 are separate, and the top 2, bottom 3, and belt-like member 4 can be worn separately. The belt-like member 4, which is fixed around the wearer's waist from the outside of the top 2 and bottom 3, has a main body 40 and a hem part 41, and when an obi 60 is fastened from the outside of the belt-like member 4, the hem part 41 is exposed. Then, the hem part 41 exposed below the obi 60 is recognized as the hem part when wearing a normal kimono. At this time, since the belt-like member 4 having the hem part 41 is separate from the top 2 and bottom 3, even if the top 2 and bottom 3 are pulled in accordance with the wearer's movements, the hem part 41 is not easily pulled, and the hem part is not easily distorted, resulting in the kimono 1.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to kimono. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, as a kimono that can be easily put on, a separate type kimono in which the top worn on the upper body and the bottom worn on the lower body are separate has been known. For example, the separate kimono described in Patent Document 1 is easy to put on because the top and bottom are separate and the bottom can be fixed to the lower body with a waist string and the top can be fixed to the upper body with a collar string. In addition, after putting on the bottom and top in that order, it can be put on simply by fastening the obi from the outside, so even a person who is not accustomed to putting on kimono can put it on relatively easily.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2003-55807 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Incidentally, in normal women's kimonos, in order to adjust the length when putting them on, the cloth is tucked up at the torso and folded back, and this folded back part is fixed with a string to form the ohashiori. Therefore, in the separate kimono described in Patent Document 1, in order to make the appearance when worn closer to that of a normal kimono, the obi is fastened from the outside of the top worn, so that the lower edge of the top is recognized as the ohashiori.

[0005] However, in the separate kimono described in Patent Document 1, the part recognized as the hem is the lower edge of the top, so the hem is easily distorted as the wearer moves. In particular, when the wearer makes an action such as raising their hand, the top is pulled in accordance with the wearer's movement, and the hem easily distorts. In order to prevent the hem from distorting in this way, it is necessary to tie the obi more tightly than necessary, but this puts pressure on the wearer's waist and makes it uncomfortable to wear, so it is necessary to wear the kimono while allowing the hem to distort to a certain extent.

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a kimono that is easy to put on and whose hem does not easily come undone. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The kimono of the present invention comprises an upper garment worn over the upper body of the wearer, a bottom garment worn over the lower body of the wearer and separate from the upper garment, and a belt-like member separate from the upper garment and bottom garment and fastened around the wearer's waist from the outside of the upper garment and bottom garment, the belt-like member having a belt-like main body portion and a hem portion formed at the hem of the main body portion, and when the obi is fastened from the outside of the belt-like member, the hem portion is exposed.

[0008] The kimono of the present invention is characterized in that an elastic member is provided on the outside of a belt-shaped member, and this elastic member presses against the wearer's waist.

[0009] The kimono of the present invention is characterized in that the main body is provided with a belt plate holding portion for holding the belt plate.

[0010] The kimono of this invention is characterized in that the hem is formed by sewing a folded piece of fabric to the hem of the main body. Effect of the Invention

[0011] The kimono of the present invention is easy to wear because the top, bottom, and belt are separate, and the top, bottom, and belt can be worn separately. The belt is fixed to the wearer's waist from the outside of the top and bottom and has a main body and a hem part formed at the hem of the main body, and when the obi is fastened from the outside of the belt, the hem part is exposed. In this way, the hem part is recognized as the hem part when wearing a normal kimono. At this time, since the belt part having the hem part is separate from the top and bottom, even if the top and bottom are pulled according to the wearer's movement, the hem part is not easily pulled, resulting in a kimono in which the hem is not easily distorted.

[0012] The kimono of the present invention has an elastic member on the outside of the belt-shaped member, which presses against the waist of the wearer, so that the belt-shaped member can be easily fixed around the waist of the wearer by the elastic member.

[0013] The kimono of the present invention has a belt plate holder on the main body to hold the belt plate. Therefore, it is not necessary to insert the belt plate into the gap of the belt to fix it, and it is not necessary to prepare a separate tool such as a belt to fix the belt plate, so it is easy to fix the belt plate.

[0014] In the kimono of the present invention, the hem is formed by sewing a folded piece of fabric to the hem of the main body. In this way, the hem is formed by folding the fabric in the same way as the hem formed when a normal kimono is put on, so the kimono looks closer to the appearance when a normal kimono is put on.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] Hereinafter, a kimono 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. In the following description, as shown in FIG. 1, kimono 1 is used as a reference, with the width direction of kimono 1 defined as the left-right direction X and the length direction defined as the up-down direction Y.

[0017] The kimono 1 is a three-part kimono comprising a top 2 worn over the upper body of the wearer, a bottom 3 worn over the lower body of the wearer, and a belt-like member 4 fastened around the wearer's waist from the outside of the top 2 and bottom 3, with the top 2, bottom 3, and belt-like member 4 each being formed separately.

[0018] 2 and 3, the top 2 comprises an upper front body 20 that covers the front side of the wearer's upper body when worn, an upper back body 21 that covers the back side of the wearer's upper body when worn, and a right sleeve 22 and a left sleeve 23 through which the wearer's right arm and left arm are respectively passed when worn. Each of the upper front body 20, upper back body 21, right sleeve 22, and left sleeve 23 is formed from fabric of the same pattern. The upper front body 20 is composed of an upper right front body 20a corresponding to the right side of the front of the wearer's upper body, and an upper left front body 20b corresponding to the left side of the front of the wearer's upper body.

[0019] In the upper garment 2, the upper end of the upper right front body 20a is sewn to the upper end of the right side of the upper back body 21 in a portion corresponding to the wearer's right shoulder, and the lower right end of the upper right front body 20a is sewn to the lower right end of the upper back body 21 in a portion corresponding to the wearer's right armpit to right waist. In addition, the upper end of the upper left front body 20b is sewn to the upper end of the left side of the upper back body 21 in a portion corresponding to the wearer's left shoulder, and the lower left end of the upper left front body 20b is sewn to the lower left end of the upper back body 21 in a portion corresponding to the wearer's left armpit to left waist. The right sleeve 22 is sewn to the upper right end of the upper right front body 20a and the upper right end of the upper back body 21. Similarly, the left sleeve 23 is sewn to the upper left end of the upper left front body 20b and the upper left end of the upper back body 21.

[0020] The top 2 is also provided with a top fixing string 24. The top fixing string 24 is used to fix the top 2 to the upper body of the wearer when the top 2 is worn. The top fixing string 24 is formed by folding a strip of cloth in half in the short direction, overlapping and sewing it together. The fixing string sewn part 25, which is the central part in the longitudinal direction, is sewn near the center of the upper back body 21 (the center in the left-right direction X and the up-down direction Y) and attached to the top 2 (FIG. 3). Of the top fixing string 24, the part extending toward the right side of the upper back body 21 is the upper right fixing string 24a, and the part extending toward the left side of the upper back body 21 is the left top fixing string 24b.

[0021] When putting on the top 2, the wearer first puts both arms through the right sleeve 22 and the left sleeve 23. Then, with the wearer's back covered by the upper back body 21, the wearer puts on the left upper front body 20b over the outside of the right upper front body 20a, with the right upper front body 20a as the lower front and the left upper front body 20b as the upper front. After that, the right upper garment fastening string 24a is moved to the front side through the wearer's right flank area, and the left upper garment fastening string 24b is moved to the front side through the wearer's left flank area, and then the right upper garment fastening string 24a and the left upper garment fastening string 24b are tied together at the front side. This allows the top 2 to be fixed to the upper body according to the wearer's body shape.

[0022] The top 2 is also provided with a collar 26. The collar 26 is formed by overlapping and sewing together a number of strip-shaped pieces of fabric that are folded in half in the short direction. The collar 26 is sewn to the upper right front body 20a and the upper left front body 20b from the neck to the chest of the wearer, and to the upper back body 21 at a portion that corresponds to the neck of the wearer. 4, the top 2 has a hem 27a formed at the lower end of the upper front body 20 and the lower end of the upper back body 21. The hem 27a is formed by partially sewing folded-up portions 27, which are formed by folding inward the lower end of the upper right front body 20a, the lower end of the upper left front body 20b, and the lower end of the upper back body 21, to each of the upper right front body 20a, the upper left front body 20b, and the upper back body 21.

[0023] Although not shown in the figures, when partially sewing the folded portion 27 to each of the upper right front body 20a, the upper left front body 20b, and the upper back body 21, only the portions of the folded portion 27 that correspond to the seam allowance when the upper right front body 20a and the upper back body 21 are sewn together and the seam allowance when the upper left front body 20b and the upper back body 21 are sewn together are sewn to the relevant seam allowance, thereby allowing the top 2 to be neatly tailored without any unnecessary seams on the outside.

[0024] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the bottom garment 3 comprises a lower front body 30 that covers the front side of the wearer's lower body when worn, and a lower back body 31 that covers the back side of the wearer's lower body when worn. The lower front body 30 and the lower back body 31 are made of fabric with the same pattern as the top garment 2. The lower front body 30 is composed of a right lower front body 30a sewn to the right end of the lower back body 31, and a left lower front body 30b sewn to the left end of the lower back body 31. Each of the right lower front body 30a, the left lower front body 30b, and the lower back body 31 is a vertically elongated rectangular shape with the vertical direction Y as the longitudinal direction, and is formed to have the same length from top to bottom.

[0025] Specifically, the vertical lengths of the lower front body 30 and the lower back body 31 are formed such that the waist portion 3a at the upper end of each of the lower front body 30 and the lower back body 31 corresponds to the position of the wearer's torso (waist), and the hem 3b at the lower end of each of the lower front body 30 and the lower back body 31 corresponds to the position near the wearer's ankles. Therefore, the lower garment 3 becomes a single piece of cloth that can cover the lower half of the wearer's body when the right lower front body 30a and the left lower front body 30b are spread out to the left and right with the lower back body 31 at the center (FIG. 6). When the lower garment 3 is worn, the lower back body 31 covers the back side of the wearer's lower body, and the left lower front body 30b is overlapped on the outside of the right lower front body 30a on the front side of the wearer, with the right lower front body 30a as the lower front and the left lower front body 30b as the upper front, and the left lower front body 30b is overlapped on the outside of the right lower front body 30a and wrapped around the lower half of the wearer's body.

[0026] The waist section 3a is formed by folding inward the upper ends of the lower front body 30 and the lower back body 31 and sewing them together. A size adjustment section 3c is provided in a part of the waist section 3a. The size adjustment section 3c is stretchable to fit the wearer's waist size and is formed by passing a flat elastic band through the waist section 3a, shrinking the outer cloth of the flat elastic band into pleats, and sewing both ends of the folded portion to both ends of the flat elastic band.

[0027] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, the undergarment 3 is provided with undergarment fastening strings 32 at the left and right ends of the waist portion 3a. The undergarment fastening strings 32 are used to fasten the undergarment 3 to the lower body of the wearer when the undergarment 3 is worn. The undergarment fastening strings 32 are formed by folding a strip of cloth in half in the short direction, overlapping and sewing it together. The undergarment fastening strings 32 are composed of a right undergarment fastening string 32a sewn to the right end of the waist portion 3a and a left undergarment fastening string 32b sewn to the left end of the waist portion 3a. When wearing the undergarment 3, first, with the undergarment 3 wrapped around the lower body of the wearer, the right undergarment fastening string 32a is wrapped around the waist from the left side of the wearer's abdomen, through the back side, and around the right side of the waist. Next, the left undergarment fastening string 32b is wrapped around the waist from the right side of the wearer's abdomen, through the back side, and around the left side of the waist. Then, the right lower garment fastening string 32a and the left lower garment fastening string 32b are tied together at the front side, whereby the lower garment 3 is fixed to the lower body according to the wearer's body shape.

[0028] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the belt-shaped member 4 has a belt-shaped main body 40 and a hem part 41 formed at the bottom of the main body 40. The belt-shaped member 4 is formed in a rectangular shape with a vertical length of about 24 cm and a horizontal length of about 120 cm. Of these, the main body 40 is about 17 cm from the top end in the vertical direction Y, and the hem part 41 is about 7 cm below the main body 40.

[0029] The main body 40 is formed by overlapping two pieces of cloth with the same pattern as the top 2 and bottom 3 and sewing the periphery together. A belt loop 40a through which a flat rubber belt 42 can be passed in the left-right direction X is provided near the center of the surface of the main body 40 (the center in the left-right direction X and the up-down direction Y) (FIG. 7). The belt loop 40a is formed by sewing only the upper and lower ends of a rectangular piece of cloth with a vertical length of about 10 cm and a horizontal length of about 16 cm to the main body 40. The surface that faces outward when worn is called the front surface, and the surface that faces inward when worn is called the back surface.

[0030] The hem 41 is made of cloth with the same pattern as the top 2 and bottom 3. The method of forming the hem 41 is to first prepare a strip of cloth with the length in the left-right direction X being slightly longer than the length of the main body 40 in the left-right direction X. Then, this strip of cloth is folded in half in the short direction, and the left and right ends are sewn together to form a bag. Next, the bottom of the main body 40 is sandwiched inside the bag-shaped cloth, and the bag-shaped cloth (folded in half) is sewn to the main body 40 while covering both the front and back sides of the bottom of the main body 40. Then, the folded cloth is sewn to the bottom of the main body 40 to form the hem 41.

[0031] As shown in Figs. 7 and 9, the belt-shaped member 4 is provided with a flat rubber belt 42. The flat rubber belt 42 is used to fix the belt-shaped member 4 to the waist of the wearer. The flat rubber belt 42 is a belt-shaped elastic member with the longitudinal direction in the left-right direction X, and is formed to have a vertical length of about 8 cm and a horizontal length of about 70 cm. The flat rubber belt 42 has a mesh structure in which strings made of an elastic material such as polyurethane are woven. Due to this mesh structure, the flat rubber belt 42 has breathability and quick-drying properties. The flat rubber belt 42 is stretchable along the left-right direction X. Therefore, in the kimono 1, the flat rubber belt 42 can be wrapped around the waist of the wearer from the outside of the belt-shaped member 4 wrapped around the waist of the wearer from the outside of the top garment 2 and bottom garment 3 while being pulled. Then, the belt-shaped member 4 is fixed to the waist of the wearer by the flat rubber belt 42 pressing against the waist of the wearer.

[0032] A hook-and-loop fastener 42a is sewn to the right end of the front surface of the flat rubber belt 42. Also, a hook-and-loop fastener 42b capable of fastening the hook-and-loop fastener 42a is sewn to the left end of the back surface of the flat rubber belt 42. Therefore, the flat rubber belt 42 can be fixed in a pulled state around the wearer's waist by overlapping the left and right ends and fastening the hook-and-loop fasteners 42a and 42b to each other. It is preferable that the hook and loop fastener 42a is formed so that its length in the left-right direction X is longer than that of the hook and loop fastener 42b. This allows the hook and loop fastener 42a and the hook and loop fastener 42b to be fastened together while adjusting the size to fit the wearer's body type.

[0033] When the belt-shaped member 4 is wound around the wearer's waist, the flat rubber belt 42 is passed through the belt loop 40a of the main body 40, and is used with the belt loop 40a facing the wearer's back and on the outside. At this time, the belt-shaped member 4 is wound around the wearer's waist from the outside of the top 2 and bottom 3, with the right end 4a as the lower front and the left end 4b as the upper front. After that, the hook-and-loop fasteners 42a and 42b are fastened on the front side while pulling the left and right ends of the flat rubber belt 42. This fixes the belt-shaped member 4 and the flat rubber belt 42 around the wearer's waist.

[0034] Further, on the back surface of the belt-shaped member 4, a belt plate holding part 43 is provided on the left side of the main body part 40 (FIGS. 8 and 10). The belt plate holding part 43 is formed by sewing a cloth to the main body part 40. Specifically, the belt plate holding part 43 is formed by overlapping a piece of cloth having a vertical length of about 17 cm and a horizontal length of about 50 cm on the main body part 40 and sewing the upper end, lower end and left end of the cloth to the main body part 40. This results in a bag-shaped belt plate holding part 43 with an open right side. The belt plate 50 is inserted into this belt plate holding part 43.

[0035] Kimono 1 is constructed as described above. Next, how to wear kimono 1 will be explained. First, the top 2 is put on as shown in Fig. 11. At this time, the upper right garment fixing string 24a and the left top garment fixing string 24b are tied at the front side to fix the top 2 to the upper body of the wearer. Next, as shown in Fig. 12, the bottom garment 3 is put on over the outside of the top 2 so that the waist part 3a of the bottom garment 3 overlaps the lower part of the top 2. At this time, the right bottom garment fixing string 32a and the left bottom garment fixing string 32b are each wrapped around the wearer's waist and tied at the front side to fix the bottom garment 3 to the lower body of the wearer. When fixing the bottom garment 3, the position of the waist part 3a is adjusted so that the hem 3b of the bottom garment 3 is located near the wearer's ankles.

[0036] Next, as shown in Fig. 1, the belt-shaped member 4 is wrapped around the wearer's waist from the outside of the top 2 and bottom 3. Then, while pulling the flat rubber belt 42, the hook-and-loop fastener 42b is fastened to the hook-and-loop fastener 42a on the front side with the belt-shaped member 4 wrapped around the wearer's waist. Then, the flat rubber belt 42 presses against the wearer's waist, and the belt-shaped member 4 is fixed around the wearer's waist. After that, as shown in Fig. 13, the obi 60 is fastened from the outside of the belt-shaped member 4 with the hem portion 41 exposed. In this way, the kimono 1 can be put on.

[0037] Next, the function and effect of the kimono 1 will be described. The kimono 1 is easy to wear because the top 2, bottom 3, and belt-like member 4 are separate, and the top 2, bottom 3, and belt-like member 4 can be worn separately. The belt-like member 4, which is fixed around the wearer's waist from the outside of the top 2 and bottom 3, has a main body 40 and a hem part 41, and when an obi 60 is fastened from the outside of the belt-like member 4, the hem part 41 is exposed. In this case, the hem part 41 exposed below the obi 60 is recognized as the hem part when wearing a normal kimono. At this time, since the belt-like member 4 having the hem part 41 is separate from the top 2 and bottom 3, even if the top 2 and bottom 3 are pulled in accordance with the wearer's movements, the hem part 41 is not easily pulled, and the hem part is unlikely to come undone, resulting in the kimono 1.

[0038] Furthermore, the kimono 1 has a flat rubber belt 42 attached to the outside of the belt-shaped member 4, which presses against the waist of the wearer, thereby fixing the belt-shaped member 4 around the waist of the wearer. This makes it easy to fix the belt-shaped member 4. In particular, compared to when the belt-shaped member 4 is fixed with a string, the string does not dig into the waist of the wearer, making the kimono 1 more comfortable to wear. Furthermore, the kimono 1 has a belt plate holder 43 provided on the main body 40 of the belt-shaped member 4, and the belt plate 50 is held by this belt plate holder 43. This makes it easy to fix the belt plate 50, since there is no need to insert the belt plate 50 into the gap of the belt 60 to fix it, or to prepare a separate accessory such as a belt to fix the belt plate 50.

[0039] Moreover, the hem of the kimono 1 is formed by sewing folded-back fabric to the hem of the main body 40. In this way, the hem of the kimono 1 is formed by folding back fabric, just like the hem of a normal kimono, and the kimono 1 looks closer to the appearance of a normal kimono when worn.

[0040] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. Furthermore, the present invention can be modified in various ways without departing from the scope of the claims of the utility model registration.

[0041] For example, in the kimono 1 according to the present embodiment, the belt-shaped member 4 is fixed by the flat rubber belt 42, but the belt-shaped member 4 may be fixed to the wearer's waist by using other fasteners such as strings, or the belt-shaped member 4 may be provided with a plurality of fasteners such as buttons, and the belt-shaped member 4 may be fixed to the wearer's waist by fastening the fasteners. The belt-shaped member 4 may not have the belt plate holder 43 on the main body 40. The flat rubber belt 42 may be formed in a ring shape without the hook-and-loop fasteners 42a, 42b, and may be capable of pressing against the wearer's waist. The hem 41 may not be formed of a folded cloth, and may be formed by sewing a single piece of cloth to the hem of the main body 40. The belt plate holder 43 is not limited to a bag shape, as long as it can hold the belt plate 50. [Explanation of symbols]
