Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a structure for attaching and detaching a name tag on clothing, which is detachably attached to clothing such as a uniform shirt, for example.

Background Art

[0002] In the nursing care industry and the like, for example, there is a need for care recipients who are in residence, and further, relatives such as their family members, to clearly confirm the names of their respective care staff, and care staff are required to wear name tags.

[0003] Therefore, generally, a name tag is attached to the chest pocket position of the care staff's uniform shirt via a safety pin or the like.

[0004] However, many such name tags are made of hard plastic and may injure care recipients during work. Also, those attached to a neck holder may be pulled by care recipients.

[0005] Furthermore, although the chest pocket of a uniform shirt can accommodate small items used in work and is convenient, during work, the stored items may fly out of the pocket, or the chest pocket may bulge and interfere with work, so its existence is not always preferable.

[0006] On the other hand, as a uniform shirt for care staff, its chest pocket also has an aspect that is indispensable as a symbol of the uniform shirt in terms of appearance.

[0007] Furthermore, although it is desirable for the name tag to be attached in a fixed position during work, it is also desirable to remove the name tag when going out or the like to prevent leakage of personal information, but there is a problem that the operation is troublesome.

[0008] In order to solve such problems, there is a name tag with a safety pin that makes it easy to attach and detach the name tag with a safety pin to and from the chest pocket by making the belt-like body annularly openable and closable with respect to the safety pin (Registered Utility Model No. 3149606 Gazette). However, with this configuration, since the name tag protrudes from the clothing due to the safety pin, it is a problem in nursing care work.

[0009] Furthermore, as a name tag with a configuration that does not use a safety pin, there is a two-fold name tag that is fixed with a hook-and-loop fastener across the attachment part and both sides of which can be used as name tags (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-186407 Gazette). However, when not in use, the attachment part is exposed and it looks bad, which is a problem. Furthermore, there is a name tag that can be folded and stored in a pocket when not in use (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-21529 Gazette), but there is a problem that the name tag cannot be attached and detached.

[0010] Similarly, there are cases where a name tag is directly heat-pressed onto clothing by a heat press. In that case, not only can the name tag not be easily attached and detached, but also when the fabric of the clothing is a chemical fiber such as polyester, there is a risk that the shirt fabric will be deformed by the heat of pressing, and there is a problem that the fabric to be used is limited to those that do not undergo heat deformation such as cotton.

[0011] Also, in the case where a name tag is directly attached to the above-mentioned uniform by heat pressing or the like and is not detachable, when the uniform is diverted for use by other nursing staff, the operation of removing the name tag becomes indispensable. Furthermore, since a mark of heat pressing remains, it is a problem.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0012] This invention has been made in consideration of such a situation, and for clothing such as a uniform shirt, a decorative pocket, that is, a name tag pocket, which can be recognized as a pocket in appearance by a seam, that is, a configuration such as a stitch, etc. is provided at the position of the chest pocket, and the name tag can be easily attached and detached through the open end of the name tag pocket. It provides a structure for attaching and detaching a name tag on clothing.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0013] The configuration of this invention is such that a name tag pocket is arranged at the pocket position so as to be recognized as the open end of a pocket on the clothing in appearance, a storage space having an open end is formed between the name tag pocket and the clothing body, a hook-and-loop fastener is provided on the inner surface of the name tag pocket, and it is inserted into the storage space from the open end of the name tag pocket. In the inserted state into the pocket, it displays the name, etc. at a position protruding from the pocket, and a hook-and-loop fastener detachably joined to the hook-and-loop fastener is provided on the lower surface. It is a structure for attaching and detaching a name tag on clothing.

Effects of the Invention

[0014] According to this invention, when wearing clothing, for example, a uniform shirt, by inserting the wearer's name tag from the open end of the name tag pocket, the hook-and-loop fastener provided on the inner surface of the pocket and the hook-and-loop fastener provided on the lower surface of the name tag are joined, and the wearer's name, etc. is appropriately displayed. When not using the name tag, such as when going out, the joining is released, the name tag can be removed, and it can be held and managed at a predetermined place. A structure for attaching and detaching a name tag on clothing is provided.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0016] A name tag pocket that forms a storage space having a storage open end is provided between the name tag pocket and the clothing body. A hook-and-loop fastener is provided on the inner surface of the name tag pocket. A hook-and-loop fastener that is inserted into the storage space from the open end of the name tag pocket and is detachably joined to the hook-and-loop fastener is provided on the surface of the pedestal portion. A name tag that can display the name or the like is provided at the position of the pedestal portion that protrudes from the pocket in the inserted state into the pocket. This is a detachable structure for a name tag on clothing.

[0017] Regarding this invention, an embodiment applied to a work-preferred uniform shirt for care staff will be described. FIG. 1 partially shows, for example, a dark blue polyester uniform shirt 1 for care staff. At the chest position when worn, a name tag pocket 2 that appears to be a decorative pocket in appearance is formed.

[0018] That is, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 2, at the chest position of the shirt 1, a storage open end 3 of a normal chest pocket is formed by stitches such as a zigzag stitch in symbiosis with the uniform shirt, and a name tag pocket 2 having a storage portion 4 shallower than the normal chest pocket is provided.

[0019] That is, as is clear from the cross-sectional view shown in FIG. 2 along the line II-II of FIG. 1, the name tag pocket 2 is formed by folding back the fabric from its upper end to form a double layer to form the open end portion 3, and the bottom portion 5 is formed by stitches such as a zigzag stitch.

[0020] A hook-and-loop fastener (first hook-and-loop fastener) 6 that joins with a hook-and-loop fastener provided at the lower end of a name tag described later is sewn or the like on the inner surface of the open end portion 3.

[0021] That is, the hook-and-loop fastener 6 is sewn in advance at the center of the inner surface position on the open end side of the pocket fabric for the name tag, and the pocket fabric is sewn at the chest pocket position of the uniform shirt 1, whereby the name tag pocket 2 is formed.

[0022] On the other hand, although not shown in the figure, the name tag 7 is formed by sandwiching a white polyester core fabric with a blended fabric of 60% cotton and 40% polyester, and is formed of, for example, a pedestal fabric (pedestal portion) 8 having a relatively thick shape retention property as shown in FIG. 3. A name display portion 9 is arranged on the front surface of the upper half thereof, and on this name display portion 9, the name of the wearer, for example, "Taro Hasegawa" is displayed by thermocompression bonding a name sticker with an iron or the like.

[0023] Since the configured name tag 7 is formed by thermocompression bonding a name sticker to the pedestal fabric 8, even when the uniform shirt is made of polyester, since the name tag is not directly thermocompression bonded to the uniform fabric, there is no problem in forming the name tag 7.

[0024] Furthermore, since the pedestal fabric 8 of the name tag 7 is sandwiched between a blended fabric of 60% cotton and 40% polyester as an example, the feel of the name tag 7 is also soft, and there is no risk of hurting the care recipient.

[0025] The lower half of the pedestal fabric 8 of the name tag 7 is formed in an inverted trapezoid as shown in FIG. 3, and a hook-and-loop fastener (second hook-and-loop fastener) 10 corresponding to the hook-and-loop fastener 6 is attached to the lower surface side thereof, for example, by sewing. The position is such that the name tag 7 is inserted from the open end 3 of the name tag pocket 2, and as shown in FIG. 1, the name display portion 9 projects from the open end 3 and is arranged to face and be coupled to the hook-and-loop fastener 6 in a properly positioned state. For this reason, the hook-and-loop fasteners 6 and 10 are arranged at the joining position in a state where the bottom 5 of the name tag pocket 2 and the lower end of the pedestal fabric 8 are in contact with each other.

[0026] In this embodiment, when attaching the name tag 7, the lower end of the name tag 7 is positioned so that the surface fasteners 6 and 10 face each other without contacting the bottom 5 of the name tag pocket 2. However, it is also possible to arrange the name tag 7 in a position where the lower end of the name tag 7 contacts the bottom 5 of the name tag pocket 2 and the two surface fasteners 6 and 10 face each other.

[0027] Of course, if necessary, the name tag pocket 2 can be formed deeper to form a so-called chest pocket for use.

[0028] Also, in this embodiment, as described above, the lower end of the name tag 7 is formed in an inverted trapezoid shape to facilitate insertion during attachment. However, for ease of molding, the lower end may be formed in a square shape as a whole.

[0029] In the attachment / detachment structure of the name tag 7 configured as described above, when the wearer goes out, etc., the name tag 7 can be detached from the name tag pocket 2 by unfastening the surface fasteners 6 and 10, stored in a predetermined place, or held on the wearer's seat desk to inform other care staff that the wearer is out, etc.

[0030] So far, the case where the name tag 7 is attached to the chest pocket (clothing body) position of the care staff's uniform shirt as the clothing to which the name tag 7 is attached has been described. However, for example, a name tag pocket 2 can be formed at the cuff (clothing body) of a semi-sleeve shirt, and the name tag 7 can be configured to be detachably attached to this pocket 2 via surface fasteners 6 and 10.

[0031] It can also be applied to work clothes such as an apron. In that case, the attachment / detachment structure of the name tag 7 can be provided at the chest pocket or body pocket position.
