[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-172507 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The conventional garments described above use a relatively complex structure including an elastic band as a mechanism for adjusting the waist size, and are configured in such a way that it is immediately obvious from the outside that the waist size has been adjusted, so there is room for improvement.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present disclosure is to provide clothing that allows adjustment of waist size with a relatively simple configuration, while making it difficult to notice that the waist size is being adjusted. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The garment according to the present disclosure includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is formed by connecting a first front body and a back body together. The first front body covers a part of the front side of the wearer's body. The back body is connected to the first front body and covers a part of the back side of the wearer's body. The second portion as the second front body is sewn to the first portion so as to overlap a part of the first front body of the first portion. The second front body of the second portion forms a pocket together with a part of the first front body on the opposite side of the wearer's body from the first portion. The first waist portion as the upper portion of the first front body of the first portion, which is the uppermost part of the wearer's body, extends in the circumferential direction so as to surround the waist of the wearer. The first waist portion is provided with a horizontally elongated hole and a fastening hook. The horizontally elongated hole is for a button. A plurality of fastening hooks are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. The second waist section, which is the upper part of the second part, extends in the circumferential direction so as to cover and surround the front side of the wearer's body. A button and an engagement section that can be engaged with the fastening hook are arranged on the surface of the second waist section that faces the wearer's body. The engagement section is configured so that the fastening hook is not visible when engaged with the fastening hook. Effect of the Invention

FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each of the following drawings, X, Y, and Z directions are introduced in order to easily understand from which direction the drawing is viewed.

[0010] FIG. 1 is an overall view showing trousers according to this embodiment as viewed from the right leg side of a wearer. That is, in FIG. 1, the right side corresponds to the front side of the wearer, and the left side corresponds to the back side of the wearer. As shown in FIG. 1, trousers 100 as clothing according to this embodiment include a first portion 10 and a second portion 20. The first portion 10 and the second portion 20 are divided at a boundary B extending vertically in the figure. At the boundary B, the first portion 10 and the second portion 20 are connected and sewn together to form an integrated single trousers 100.

[0011] FIG. 2 is an enlarged schematic diagram of the area A surrounded by a dotted line in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the first portion 10 corresponds generally to the rear side of the wearer's body, and the second portion 20 corresponds generally to the front side of the wearer's body. However, the first portion 10 has a first front body 12 and a rear body 11. The first front body 12 is an area that generally covers a part of the front side of the wearer's body. The rear body 11 is an area that generally covers a part of the rear side of the wearer's body. The first portion 10 is generally the rear half of the trousers 100. Therefore, the first portion 10 is mostly the rear body 11, and the smaller first front body 12 is sewn to the front side of the rear body 11. In other words, the first front body 12 is a portion of the first portion 10 that extends from the rear body 11 to the front side thereof. The first front body 12 is provided to form a pocket P, which will be described later.

[0012] In the first portion 10, the first front body 12 and the back body 11 are connected and integrated. The portion where they are connected is boundary B, and they may be sewn together at boundary B. The boundary between the first portion 10 and the second portion 20 shown in FIG. 1 and the boundary where the first front body 12 and the back body 11 shown in FIG. 2 are sewn together may be the same boundary B. However, these boundaries B may be different from each other. In any case, boundary B is the position where the two pieces of fabric are sewn together.

[0013] The second portion 20 is formed by the second front body 22. The second portion 20 is entirely the second front body 22. The second front body 22 is an area that generally covers a part of the front side of the wearer's body. The first portion 10 and the second portion 20 are made of the same fabric. The back body 11 and the first front body 12 in the first portion 10 are made of the same fabric. Therefore, it is preferable that the back body 11, the first front body 12, and the second front body 22 are all made of the same fabric. In this way, visual discomfort is less likely to be felt even when the waist is adjusted. This is because the first front body 12 and the back body 11 are made of the same fabric.

[0014] The second front body 22 of the second portion 20 is sewn to the first portion 10 so as to overlap a portion of the first front body 12 of the first portion 10. As described above, this sewn portion may be, for example, the boundary B in Fig. 2. Here, it is preferable that the second front body 22 is positioned on the opposite side to the wearer's body, i.e., on the outside, of the first front body 12.

[0015] As a result, the portion of the second portion 20 that is arranged to overlap the first portion 10 on the outside forms a space called a pocket P together with the first portion 10. That is, in the portion where the first front body 12 and the second front body 22 overlap, the space between them forms the pocket P. Therefore, the portion of the first portion 10 that forms the pocket P is mostly or entirely the first front body 12. The portion of the first portion 10 other than the portion that forms the pocket P is mostly or entirely the back body 11.

[0016] In the trousers 100, the upper part that is closest to the upper part of the wearer's body is the waist part. The waist part has a first waist part 13 and a second waist part 23. The first waist part 13 is an upper part of the first front body 12 of the first part 10. The first waist part 13 extends in the circumferential direction so as to surround the waist of the wearer. The first waist part 13 is also disposed in the upper part of the back body 11 of the first part 10. The first waist part 13 extends in the circumferential direction from the upper part of the back body 11 to the upper part of the first front body 12. The second waist part 23 is an upper part of the second front body 22 of the second part 20. The second waist part 23 extends in the circumferential direction so as to cover and surround the front side of the wearer's body. The first part 10 and the second part 20 may be separated at the first waist part 13 and the second waist part 23.

[0017] As described above, the second front body 22 overlaps a portion of the first front body 12 at the area of ​​the pocket P. Therefore, the first waist region 13 is positioned directly above the first front body 12 so as to overlap a portion of the second waist region 23.

[0018] The second portion 20 is divided into two parts, one for the right leg side and one for the left leg side of the wearer, at the second waist portion 23 and the portion of the second front body 22 that forms the pocket P. This allows the distance between one and the other of the two divided parts to be widened, making it easier for the wearer to put on the pants 100.

[0019] FIG. 3 is a first schematic diagram of the area A surrounded by a dotted line in FIG. 1 as viewed from the front side of the wearer, with a part of the inside of the pocket visible. FIG. 4 is a second schematic diagram of the area A surrounded by a dotted line in FIG. 1 as viewed from the front side of the wearer, with a part of the inside of the pocket visible. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, each member shown here is preferably arranged in pairs on the right foot side and the left foot side of the wearer. As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4, the first waist portion 13 is provided with a horizontally elongated hole 14 and a fastening hook 15. The horizontally elongated hole 14 is a through hole through which the button 24 described later is inserted. A plurality of fastening hooks 15 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the first waist portion 13, that is, approximately in the left-right direction of FIG. 3. 3 and 4, as an example, two fastening hooks 15A, 15B are arranged at intervals from each other in the circumferential direction as fastening hooks 15. However, three or more fastening hooks may be arranged at intervals from each other in the circumferential direction. Fastening hooks 15 are arranged on the outer surface of first waist portion 13, which is the surface opposite to the wearer's body.

[0020] 3 and 4, the second front body 22 of the second portion 20 is folded at the folding line F so that the inside of the pocket P is visible. That is, by folding at the folding line F, the surface of the second front body 22 facing the body (the inner surface) inside the pocket P is visible. Also, the surface of the second waist portion 23 facing the body (the inner surface) is visible. If the second front body 22 is not folded at the folding line F, point C1 of the second front body 22 and point C2 of the first front body 12 in FIG. 3 are positioned so as to substantially overlap. Points C1 and C2 are generally located at the circumferential ends of the first waist portion 13.

[0021] 3 and 4, a button 24 and an engagement portion 25 are disposed on the inner surface of the second waist portion 23, which is the side facing the wearer's body. The button 24 is fitted into the oblong hole 14 by passing through the oblong hole 14. The engagement portion 25 is engageable with the fastening hooks 15A, 15B. One of the fastening hook 15 and the engagement portion 25 is female in shape, and the other is male in shape. Either the fastening hook 15 or the engagement portion 25 may be female in shape, or either may be male in shape.

[0022] 1 and 2, the engaging portion 25 engages with either the fastening hook 15A or 15B. In this state, when the trousers 100 are viewed from the outside, the fastening hook 15 is invisible. Furthermore, when the trousers 100 are viewed from the outside as shown in FIG. 2, the button 24 and the oblong hole 14 are also invisible. This is because neither the button 24 nor the oblong hole 14 appears on the outer surface of the second waist portion 23.

[0023] The length of the oblong hole 14 is preferably equal to or greater than the circumferential spacing of the multiple fastening hooks 15A, 15B. In other words, the oblong hole 14 preferably has a sufficient length in the circumferential direction. In this way, when the oblong hole 14 is aligned along the circumferential direction of the first waist portion 13, the button 24 can be kept threaded through the oblong hole 14 even when the engaging portion 25 is engaged with either of the fastening hooks 15A, 15B to adjust the waist size. In other words, the button 24 and the oblong hole 14 can provide a guide function for the first waist portion 13 and the second waist portion 23.

[0024] 5 is a schematic diagram showing the region A surrounded by the dotted line in FIG. 1 as viewed from the wearer's left foot side, partially illustrating the inside facing the wearer's body. As shown in FIG. 5, a button 24 is hooked into a horizontally elongated hole 14. The button 24 and horizontally elongated hole 14 shown in FIG. 5 are on the wearer's right foot side. At this time, either of the fastening hooks 15A, 15B spaced apart from the horizontally elongated hole 14 may engage with the engaging portion 25.

[0025] As described above, in the first waist portion 13, the oblong hole 14 is disposed on the second portion 20 side, i.e., the front side, and the fastening hook 15 is disposed on the first portion 10 side, i.e., the rear side. As for the fastening hook 15, the fastening hook 15A is disposed on the front side, and the fastening hook 15B is disposed on the rear side. In the circumferential direction, the oblong hole 14, the fastening hook 15A, and the fastening hook 15B are spaced apart from each other. In the second waist portion 23, the button 24 is disposed on the front side, and the engaging portion 25 is disposed on the rear side. In the circumferential direction, the button 24 and the engaging portion 25 are spaced apart from each other.

[0026] A part of the second waist portion 23 includes a protrusion 27. The protrusion 27 corresponds to the rear end of the second waist portion 23 in the circumferential direction in which the second waist portion 23 extends. The end of the protrusion 27 may have a triangular shape, for example, as shown in FIG. 2. However, the shape is not limited to this, and the end of the protrusion 27 may have a rectangular shape, for example. The engagement portion 25 may be disposed on the protrusion 27. As described above, the degree of freedom in the arrangement of the engagement portion 25 can be increased without significantly changing the shape of the second portion 20.

[0027] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a bag portion PB is formed in the pocket P. The bag portion PB is connected to a side end 16 of the first front body 12. In other words, the bag portion PB is connected to the side end 16 of the first front body 12, which is the end portion on the inner side of the pocket P, away from the entrance of the pocket P. The bag portion PB is also connected to the second front body 22. This will be described in detail next.

[0028] The bag portion PB is formed of a generally known cloth, for example, a sheet-like cloth member. The bag portion PB has a body side bag portion PB1 and an outer bag portion PB2. The body side bag portion PB1 is a portion of the bag portion PB sewn to the first front body 12 of the first portion 10. The body side bag portion PB1 extends from the front side end 16 of the first front body 12 to the center side (front side) of the second portion 20 in the circumferential direction without overlapping with the first front body 12. The body side bag portion PB1 may be sewn to the wearer's body side, i.e., the inner surface, of the first front body 12. Alternatively, the body side bag portion PB1 may be sewn to the opposite side to the wearer's body, i.e., the outer surface, of the first front body 12.

[0029] The outer bag portion PB2 is a portion of the bag portion PB sewn to the inner surface of the second front body 22 of the second portion 20 facing the wearer's body. The outer bag portion PB2 overlaps with the second front body 22 from the rear side end 26 of the second front body 22 and extends circumferentially toward the center (front) of the second portion 20. Therefore, the outer bag portion PB2 generally overlaps with the portion of the second front body 22 that forms the pocket P. The bag portion PB is arranged such that a sheet-like cloth member or the like is continuous from the body side bag portion PB1 to the outer bag portion PB2. The body side bag portion PB1 and the outer bag portion PB2 may be sewn together at the seam S to form an integrated bag portion PB. Alternatively, the body side bag portion PB1 and the outer bag portion PB2 may be originally formed of a single sheet-like cloth member to form the bag portion PB. In the above manner, the bag portion PB of the pocket P is formed.

[0030] 3 and 4, the seam S and the fold line F are shown as extending along substantially the same line, but in reality they are separate lines.

[0031] Unlike the side edge 16, the side edge 26 on the rear side of the second front body 22 corresponds to the edge of the entrance of the pocket P. The side edge 26 extends in the vertical direction from the pocket uppermost point PE1 to the pocket lowermost point PE2. The pocket uppermost point PE1 is a part of the second waist portion 23 on the back body 11 side. The pocket lowermost point PE2 is located downwardly away from the pocket uppermost point PE1 along the side edge 26. The pocket lowermost point PE2 reaches the boundary B between the first portion 10 and the second portion 20. As a result, the side edge 26 is fixed to the back body 11 at the boundary B.

[0032] The body-side bag portion PB1 and the outer bag portion PB2 are integrated at their lower portions by sewing or the like as described above, with the end portion E being located downwardly and away from the first waist portion 13 and the second waist portion 23, which are the uppermost portions of the trousers 100. The lower portion refers to the area of ​​the trousers 100 that covers the lower body side of the wearer. In other words, a non-jointed portion U extending in the vertical direction is provided between the first waist portion 13 and the end portion E. The non-jointed portion U is formed in the upper portion of the body-side bag portion PB1 and the outer bag portion PB2, close to the waist portions.

[0033] Below the non-joined portion U, that is, below the end portion E, the body side bag portion PB1 and the outer bag portion PB2 are integrated by the stitching portion S or by originally being one piece. The body side bag portion PB1 extending circumferentially from the side end 16 and the outer bag portion PB2 extending circumferentially from the side end 26 are integrated by the stitching portion S or the like at the end portion adjacent to the center of the second portion 20. However, in the non-joined portion U, the body side bag portion PB1 and the outer bag portion PB2 are not connected to be integrated. In the non-joined portion U, the body side bag portion PB1 and the outer bag portion PB2 are not connected, that is, they are not joined. The non-joined portion U does not have the stitching portion S. As a result, in the non-joined portion U, an opening consisting of the edge of the body side bag portion PB1 and the edge of the outer bag portion PB2 is formed. The opening means a portion formed by the interval between the body side bag portion PB1 and the outer bag portion PB2.

[0034] By providing an opening at the non-jointed portion U, it is possible to adjust the excess fabric when adjusting the waist portions, that is, the first waist portion 13 and the second waist portion 23. This makes it possible to prevent unwanted wrinkles from occurring in portions other than the waist portion.

[0035] The vertical length of the opening of the bag portion PB, i.e., the non-joined portion U, is preferably 1 / 4 or less of the vertical length of the bag portion PB. However, the vertical length of the non-joined portion U is more preferably 1 / 5 or less of the vertical length of the bag portion PB, and even more preferably 1 / 6 or less. It is preferable to make the opening small in this way. This can prevent problems such as an object being put into the pocket P falling out of the pocket P through the opening of the non-joined portion U.

[0036] In addition to the above components, the trousers 100 have a front hole 34 and a front button 44 in a portion that corresponds to the front of the wearer. The front hole 34 and the front button 44 are shown in Figures 4 and 5. The front hole 34 and the front button 44 are similar to those provided on the front portion of commonly known trousers.

[0037] Specifically, the front hole 34 is formed at a position adjacent to the end of the second waist portion 23 on the wearer's left foot side in the left-right direction. The front hole 34 is a through hole for fitting the front button 44. The front button 44 is arranged at a position adjacent to the end of the second waist portion 23 on the wearer's right foot side in the left-right direction. The front button 44 is arranged on the outer surface of the second waist portion 23. Note that, conversely to the above, the front button 44 may be arranged on the second waist portion 23 on the wearer's left foot side, and the front hole 34 may be formed on the second waist portion 23 on the wearer's right foot side. By fitting the front button 44 into the front hole 34, the wearer can wear the pants 100.

[0038] (Effects of the claimed device) The pants 100 as a garment according to the present embodiment include a first portion 10 and a second portion 20. The first portion 10 is formed by connecting a first front body 12 and a back body 11 together. The first front body 12 covers a part of the front side of the wearer's body. The back body 11 is connected to the first front body 12 and covers a part of the back side of the wearer's body. The second portion 20 as the second front body 22 is sewn to the first portion 10 so as to overlap a part of the first front body 12 of the first portion 10. The second front body 22 of the second portion 20 forms a pocket P together with a part of the first front body 12 on the opposite side of the wearer's body with respect to the first portion 10. The first waist portion 13 as the upper part of the first front body 12 of the first portion 10 that is the uppermost part of the wearer's body extends in the circumferential direction so as to surround the waist of the wearer. In the first waist portion 13, a horizontally elongated hole 14 and a fastening hook 15 are arranged. The horizontally elongated hole 14 is for a button 24. A plurality of fastening hooks 15 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. In the second part 20, a second waist portion 23 as an upper part extends in the circumferential direction so as to cover and surround the front side of the wearer's body. In the second waist portion 23, a button 24 and an engagement portion 25 that can engage with the fastening hook 15 are arranged on the surface facing the wearer's body. The engagement portion 25 is configured so that the fastening hooks 15 (15A, 15B) are not visible when engaged with the fastening hooks 15 (15A, 15B).

[0039] The fastening hooks 15A and 15B are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the first waist portion 13. Therefore, the engaging portion 25 can engage with either the fastening hook 15A or the fastening hook 15B. When the engaging portion 25 engages with the fastening hook 15A, the overall length around the first waist portion 13 is different from when the engaging portion 25 engages with the fastening hook 15B. Therefore, the overall circumferential position of the first waist portion 13 and the second waist portion 23 can be adjusted depending on which of the multiple fastening hooks 15 the engaging portion 25 engages with. In other words, the overlap length between the first waist portion 13 and the second waist portion 23 can be changed by the engaging portion 25 and the fastening hook 15, thereby adjusting the waist size of the pants 100.

[0040] The second part 20 is sewn so as to be positioned outside the first part 10. Therefore, the engagement part 25 of the second part 20 is positioned on the inner surface of the second waist part 23 which is at the upper part of the second front body 22 which is located outside the first part 10. Therefore, the engagement part 25 is configured such that when engaged with the fastening hooks 15 (15A, 15B), the fastening hooks 15 (15A, 15B) and the engagement part 25 are not visible from the outside.

[0041] As described above, according to this embodiment, the waist size can be adjusted with a relatively simple configuration due to the arrangement of buttons 24 and engagement parts 25 of second waist portion 23. Furthermore, according to this embodiment, trousers 100 can be provided in which it is difficult to notice that the waist size has been adjusted.

[0042] In the above-mentioned trousers 100, a body-side bag portion PB1 is sewn to the first front body 12 of the first portion 10. An outer bag portion PB2 is sewn to the second front body 22 of the second portion 20 on the side facing the wearer's body. The bag portion PB of the pocket P is formed by connecting the body-side bag portion PB1 to the outer bag portion PB2. The body-side bag portion PB1 and the outer bag portion PB2 are integrated at a lower portion covering the lower body side of the wearer from the end portion E, with the end portion E being located at a position away from the first waist portion 13.

[0043] In this way, the body side bag part PB1 and the outer bag part PB2 are not joined above the end E of the trousers 100. In other words, an opening is formed between the body side bag part PB1 and the outer bag part PB2. By utilizing this opening, it is possible to absorb the change in the relative position between the first front body part 12 and the second front body part 22 when adjusting the waist size, and to suppress the occurrence of wrinkles, etc.
