Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0013] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and various forms can be adopted as long as they belong to the technical scope of the present invention.
[0014] First, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10. The clothing structure 10 according to the present invention mainly includes a clothing body 1 and an adjustable parka 2. The adjustable parka 2 is mainly composed of a hat-shaped cloth cover 21 and an adjustable drawstring 22.
[0015] In such a case, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIGS. 6 to 10, the clothing body 1 has an upper body garment 11 and trousers 12. The upper body garment 11 and the trousers 12 according to this embodiment are separate types of clothing that are separated from each other, but the present invention is not limited to these, and the upper body garment 11 and the trousers 12 may be joined clothing with the seams integrated. Also, the most preferred embodiment of the upper body garment 11 is a waterproof jacket used as a raincoat, but the upper body garment 11 may be a T-shirt, a shirt, or a jacket without a waterproof function. The most preferred embodiment of the trousers 12 is waterproof trousers used as rain pants, but the trousers 12 may also be trousers without a waterproof function.
[0016] Also, the upper body garment 11 has a neck portion 111, and the trousers 12 have a pair of leg openings 121, a pair of inner storage pockets 122, a pair of trouser legs 123, and a pair of ring-shaped sheets 124. Each inner storage pocket 122 is located at each leg opening 121, and each ring-shaped sheet 124 is fixed outside each trouser leg 123 and is laid along the circumferential direction of each trouser leg 123.
[0017] In such a case, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the adjustable parka 2 includes a hat-shaped cloth cover 21 and an adjustable drawstring 22. The hat-shaped cloth cover 21 of this embodiment is detachably connected to the neck portion 111 by a buckle, but the present invention is not limited to these, and the hat-shaped cloth cover 21 may be detachably connected to the neck portion 111 by a fastener or a hook-and-loop fastener, or the hat-shaped cloth cover 21 may be sewn to be integrally connected to the neck portion 111.
[0018] Specifically, the hat-shaped cloth cover 21 is divided into a central region 211, a left region 212 and a right region 213 located on both the left and right sides of the central region 211. The hat-shaped cloth cover 21 has a linear pocket 214 laid horizontally in the central region 211, the left region 212, and the right region 213, and an opening 215 is provided in the linear pocket 214.
[0019] Further, the hat-shaped cloth cover 21 has an outer layer 216 and an inner layer 217, and the linear pocket 214 is formed between the outer layer 216 and the inner layer 217. The opening 215 according to this embodiment is opened from the outer layer 216, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the opening 215 may be opened from the inner layer 217. Further, the linear pocket 214 according to this embodiment is a U-shaped pocket or a V-shaped pocket, and the opening 215 is opened from the lowest part of the U-shaped pocket or the V-shaped pocket and is located in the central region 211.
[0020] Also, the adjustable drawstring 22 includes a rope 221 that is accommodated in the linear pocket 214 and has one end fixed to the left region 212 and the other end fixed to the right region 213, and a length adjustment portion 222 that is connected to the rope 221 and is used to adjust the length of the rope 221 and is exposed at the opening 215.
[0021] More specifically, the length adjustment portion 222 of this embodiment is a spring buckle 223, and the rope 221 has a U-shaped bent portion 2211 that is adjustably penetrated through the spring buckle 223. Both ends of the U-shaped bent portion 2211 can be clamped or released by the spring buckle 223, and when the U-shaped bent portion 2211 is released by the spring buckle 223, the size can be adjusted. When the size of the U-shaped bent portion 2211 becomes larger, the length of the rope 221 becomes shorter, and both ends of the rope 221 get closer, pulling the hat-shaped cloth cover 21 to shrink and the width to decrease. When the size of the U-shaped bent portion 2211 becomes smaller, the length of the rope 221 becomes longer, and both ends of the rope 221 get farther apart, pulling the hat-shaped cloth cover 21 to extend and the width to increase. In this way, by pulling the hat-shaped cloth cover 21 to expand and contract according to the length of the rope 221, the width is adjusted, and the adjustable parka 2 can adjust its own size and has the advantage of being applicable to a wide range of sizes.
[0022] When the rope 221 is accommodated in the linear pocket 214, the hat-shaped cloth cover 21 shrinks, and the wrinkles generated by the shrinking are laid along the linear pocket 214. Therefore, the linear pocket 214 is formed as a U-shaped pocket or a V-shaped pocket, and the wrinkles of the hat-shaped cloth cover 21 are laid in a U-shape or a V-shape. A recess is formed in the hat-shaped cloth cover 21 at the U-shaped or V-shaped wrinkled portion, and a head-shaped accommodation chamber is formed above the U-shaped or V-shaped wrinkle with respect to the recess, making it easier for the user's head or helmet to be accommodated in the head-shaped accommodation chamber.
[0023] Also, one end of the spring buckle 223 of this embodiment is fixed to the central region 211 to prevent the spring buckle 223 from falling and getting lost. The other end of the spring buckle 223 is freely movable with respect to the opening 215, allowing the user to conveniently adjust the size of the U-shaped bent portion 2211 by means of the spring buckle 223.
[0024] In addition, the adjustable drawstring 22 further includes beads 224, and the beads 224 are movably covered on the U-shaped bent portion 2211. When the size of the U-shaped bent portion 2211 is adjusted to the minimum, the U-shaped bent portion 2211 gets too close to the spring buckle 223, making it difficult for the user to hold the U-shaped bent portion 2211. However, the user can grasp the beads 224 to adjust the size of the U-shaped bent portion 2211.
[0025] And the length adjustment portion 222 of this embodiment is not limited by the spring buckle 223, and the length adjustment portion 222 may be a hook-and-loop fastener or a buckle. When the hook-and-loop fastener or the buckle is fixed to the rope 221, the length of the rope 221 is adjusted by the hook-and-loop fastener or the buckle. As described above, when the length of the rope 221 becomes shorter, both ends of the rope 221 get closer, and the hat-shaped cloth cover 21 is pulled to shrink and its size is reduced. When the length of the rope 221 becomes longer, both ends of the rope 221 get farther apart, and the hat-shaped cloth cover 21 is pulled to extend and its size is enlarged, achieving the effect.
[0026] In addition, two wing-shaped plates 25 extend into the left region 212 and the right region 213. A hook-and-loop fastener or a buckle is attached to the two wing-shaped plates 25. When the two wing-shaped plates 25 are connected, the size of the opening of the hat-shaped cloth cover 21 is adjusted.
[0027] In the hat-shaped cloth cover 21, a horizontal folding part 218 arranged in parallel below the linear pocket 214 is folded, and the left and right ends of the horizontal folding part 218 are fixed to the left region 212 and the right region 213. The horizontal folding part 218 has a plurality of folding edges 219, and the number of the folding edges 219 is a multiple of 2. At the middle position of the horizontal folding part 218, when the plurality of folding edges 219 are flattened, the height of the hat-shaped cloth cover 21 increases, and the hat-shaped cloth cover 21 can easily accommodate a large-sized helmet (see Fig. 5).
[0028] Also, in such a case, as shown in Figs. 6 to 8, the clothing structure 10 according to the present invention further includes a pair of adjustable foot covers 3, and each adjustable foot cover 3 includes a foot-shaped cloth cover 31 and an adjustable draw band 32. Each foot-shaped cloth cover 31 has a instep patch 33 and a front half sole sheet 34 arranged vertically, a heel hollow opening 35 located below the instep patch 33 and behind the front half sole sheet 34, and a vertically-arrangeable sheet 36 arranged upright on the front side of the instep patch 33 and the front half sole sheet 34. A heel accommodation chamber formed inside is provided by the vertically-arrangeable sheet 36, the instep patch 33, and the front half sole sheet 34 jointly enclosing. The adjustable draw band 32 straddles the heel hollow opening 35 and is connected to both left and right sides of the instep patch 33.
[0029] Specifically, when the user puts the foot into the foot-shaped cloth cover 31, the instep faces the instep patch 33, the front half of the sole faces the front half sole sheet 34, the heel is accommodated in the heel accommodation chamber, and the rear half of the sole and the heel face the heel hollow opening 35.
[0030] In addition, each adjustable drawstring 32 extends from the instep patch 33 and is arranged to correspond to the heel hollow 35. The drawstring 32 includes a drawstring 321 that is attached to each drawstring 321 and is used to adjust the length of the drawstring 321. Each connector 322 is a hook-and-loop fastener or a buckle. The drawstring 321 adjusts the length of the part straddling the heel hollow 35 by the connector 322, so that the size of the opening of the heel hollow 35 is further adjusted, and the foot-shaped cloth cover 31 is more closely fitted to the user's foot and the shoe. In this way, the adjustable foot cover 3 achieves the advantage that it can be adjusted by itself in size and can be applied to a wide range of sizes.
[0031] Each front half-sole sheet 34 is provided with a hole 341 at the middle position. When the front half-sole sheet 34 receives pressure, the hole 341 deforms slightly to release the pressure. In addition, each front half-sole sheet 34 has a plurality of recesses 342 formed by hot press bonding, and the recesses 342 formed by hot press processing increase the structural strength and wear resistance of the front half-sole sheet 34, achieving the advantage that the front half-sole sheet 34 has a stronger structure and is less likely to be damaged.
[0032] As shown in FIG. 6, the clothing structure 10 according to the present invention further includes a pair of seal members 4, and each seal member 4 is attached to the inner surface of each storage inner pocket 122 and each instep patch 33. Each seal member 4 is a fastener, a hook-and-loop fastener, or a buckle. Each adjustable foot cover 3 is first accommodated in each storage inner pocket 122, and the seal members 4 attached to the inner surface of the storage inner pocket 122 and the instep patch 33 are engaged with each other, so that the adjustable foot cover 3 is stably accommodated at the leg opening 121.
[0033] In such a case, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 10, the structure 10 of the clothing according to the present invention further includes a pair of first fixtures 5 and a plurality of pairs of second fixtures 6. Each first fixture 5 is attached to the inner surface of each ring-shaped sheet 124, and each of the plurality of pairs of second fixtures 6 is attached to the outer surface of each leg 123 of the trousers and is arranged in parallel at intervals along the axial direction of each leg 123 of the trousers with respect to each first fixture 5. The first fixture 5 and the second fixture 6 may be a hook-and-loop fastener or a buckle.
[0034] More specifically, each first fixture 5 is engaged with a selected second fixture 6 so that a part of each leg 123 of the trousers is accommodated so as to contract inside each ring-shaped sheet 124. When the first fixture 5 engages with a nearby second fixture 6, the portion of the leg 123 of the trousers that contracts inside each ring-shaped sheet 124 decreases, and at this time, the overall length of the leg 123 of the trousers increases. When the first fixture 5 engages with a distant second fixture 6, the portion of the leg 123 of the trousers that contracts inside each ring-shaped sheet 124 increases, and at this time, the overall length of the leg 123 of the trousers decreases. In this way, the effect of enabling the user to adjust the length of the leg 123 of the trousers by themselves is achieved.
[0035] The above is the description of the present embodiment. However, the above-described embodiment merely shows a part of the application examples of the present invention and is not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention to the specific configurations of the above-described embodiment.
