[Diagram 3] FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an apron according to a modified example. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an apron 1 according to an embodiment. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a state in which the apron 1 according to the embodiment is worn. In this application, the front and back (front and back), left and right, and up and down directions refer to directions seen from a wearer P wearing the apron 1.

[0010] As shown in FIG. 1, an apron 1 according to the embodiment includes an apron body 2, a neck strap 3, and a pair of left and right waist straps 4L, 4R. The apron body 2 has a wide portion 2a at the bottom and a chest portion 2b that narrows above the wide portion 2a. A neck strap 3 is attached to the top end of the apron body 2 (the top end of the chest portion 2b) so as to form a loop. In addition, a pair of string-like or belt-like waist straps 4L, 4R are attached to the tops of the left and right edges of the wide portion 2a of the apron body 2.

[0011] Here, the tip of the left waist string 4L is provided with a male part 5a of a snap button made of metal or synthetic resin. Also, a corresponding female part 5b of the snap button is provided on the right part of the apron body 2. Specifically, on the front (surface) of the wide part 2a of the apron body 2, three female parts 5b are arranged in a row at the upper part of the right part, at a height position approximately equal to the position where the rear end of the right waist string 4R is attached to the apron body 2. The row of three female parts 5b is arranged slightly downward toward the inside of the apron body 2. The row of three female parts 5b may be arranged in an approximately horizontal direction.

[0012] Similarly, the tip of the right waist string 4R is provided with a male part 6a of a snap button made of metal or synthetic resin. Also, the left part of the apron body 2 is provided with a corresponding female part 6b of the snap button. Specifically, on the front (surface) of the wide part 2a of the apron body 2, three female parts 6b are arranged in a row at the upper part of the left part, at a height position approximately equal to the position where the rear end of the left waist string 4L is attached to the apron body 2. The row of three female parts 6b is arranged slightly downward toward the inside of the apron body 2. The row of three female parts 6b may be arranged in an approximately horizontal direction.

[0013] When wearing the apron 1 thus constructed, the apron 1 is placed in front of the wearer P, as shown in FIG. 2, with the neck strap 3 placed around the wearer P's neck. In this state, the left waist string 4L is led to the right part of the apron body 2 so as to pass across the back side (back side) of the wearer P, and the male part 5a of the snap button is fastened to the female part 5b to detachably fasten the left waist string 4L to the right part of the apron body 2. In this case, by appropriately selecting one of the three female parts 5b in a row to fasten the male part 5a, the fastening position between the left waist string 4L and the right part of the apron body 2 can be changed, so that the size can be adjusted to suit the physique of the wearer P. Similarly, the right waist string 4R is led to the left part of the apron body 2 so as to pass across the back side (back side) of the wearer P, and the male part 6a of the snap button is fastened to the female part 6b to detachably fasten the right waist string 4R to the left part of the apron body 2. In this case, by appropriately selecting one of the three female parts 6b in a row to fasten the male part 6a, the fastening position between the right waist string 4R and the left part of the apron body 2 can be changed, so that the size can be adjusted to suit the physique of the wearer P.

[0014] As described above, with the apron 1 of the embodiment, the wearer P only needs to fasten the pair of left and right waist cords 4L, 4R to the right and left parts of the apron body 2 at a position from the side to the front of the wearer P, and there is no need to reach around the back to tie the pair of left and right waist cords, making it possible to provide an apron that is easy to wear. The material of the apron body 2 and the strings 3, 4L, and 4R is typically cloth, but may be appropriately selected depending on the purpose for which the apron 1 is to be used.

[0015] In this embodiment, snap buttons (male part 5a, female part 5b) and snap buttons (male part 6a, female part 6b) are used as the first fixing means and the second fixing means of the present invention, but this is not limited to this and hook-and-loop fasteners, hooks, etc. may also be used. The modified example shown in FIG. 3 employs hook-and-loop fasteners as the first fastening means and the second fastening means. The tip of the left waist string 4L is provided with a first surface member 7a of a hook-and-loop fastener. The right part of the apron body 2 is provided with a corresponding second surface member 7b of a hook-and-loop fastener. Specifically, the tape-shaped second surface member 7b is disposed at the upper right part of the front (surface) of the wide part 2a of the apron body 2, at a height position approximately equal to the position where the rear end of the right waist string 4R is attached to the apron body 2, so as to be slightly lower toward the inside of the apron body 2 or approximately horizontally. The position where the first surface member 7a is joined to the tape-shaped second surface member 7b can be appropriately selected, and the fixed position between the left waist string 4L and the right part of the apron body 2 is variable. Similarly, the tip of the right waist string 4R is provided with a first surface member 8a of a hook-and-loop fastener. The left part of the apron body 2 is provided with a corresponding second surface member 8b of a hook-and-loop fastener. Specifically, on the front (surface) of the wide portion 2a of the apron body 2, the tape-shaped second surface member 8b is arranged slightly downward toward the inside of the apron body 2 or approximately horizontally at the upper left portion and at a height position approximately equal to the position where the rear end of the left waist string 4L is attached to the apron body 2. The position where the first surface member 8a is joined to the tape-shaped second surface member 8b can be appropriately selected, and the fixed position between the right waist string 4R and the left portion of the apron body 2 can be changed. In addition, taking into consideration factors such as resistance to washing and the difficulty of the waist string coming off the apron body, it is preferable to use snap buttons as in the embodiment rather than hook and loop fasteners or hooks.

[0016] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, the above embodiments are merely examples of the embodiment of the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention should not be interpreted as being limited by these embodiments. In other words, the present invention can be embodied in various forms without departing from its technical idea or main features. In this embodiment, an apron 1 having a bib portion 2b is illustrated, however, the style of apron to which the present invention can be applied is not limited, and the invention can be widely applied to any apron having a pair of waist straps attached to the apron body.
