Background Art

[0002] Recently, various hooded garments including so-called parkas have been provided according to applications such as functionality and design.

[0003] For example, in Patent Document 1, a technique for easily and stably fitting a hood to a user's face or head by a length adjustment mechanism of a hood string is disclosed.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, in conventional hooded garments including Patent Document 1, when a user fits a hood to the face or head by an adjustment mechanism such as a string or a fastener, as in Patent Document 1, it is designed to be an inverted U-shape along the shape of the face or head. Therefore, from the viewpoints of sunshade use and design use of the user, it is not satisfactory.

[0006] Therefore, in view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a hooded garment suitable for sunshade measures for users and having high design.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] A piece of clothing comprising a main body part, a hood and a face mask integrally formed with the main body part, and a fastener for opening and closing the main body part and the face mask, characterized in that the hood and the face mask are separately configured.

Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a hooded garment suitable for the user's sun protection measures and having high design.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments described below do not unduly limit the content of the present invention described in the claims. Also, not all of the components shown in the embodiments are essential components of the present invention.

[0011] FIG. 1 is a view showing an example of a hooded garment (in a state where the opening is closed) according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0012] As shown in Fig. 1, the hooded garment 1 has a main body part 2 and a hood 3, and the main body part 2 and the hood 3 are stitched together in a known manner and configured as one body. Further, the hooded garment 1 further includes a face mask 5, and the main body part 2 and the face mask 5 are integrally configured. Here, in the present invention, the hood 3 and the face mask 5 are characterized by having a separated structure. In this example, the hooded garment is described as an integral structure, but the main body part 2 and the hood 3 may be separated and configured to be detachable with buttons, fasteners, etc. Also, the main body part 2 can be provided with a mesh material that ensures breathability, and the mesh material can also be removed. Further, the main body part 2 is provided with an adjuster that allows the user to change the length and wear it, and the sleeve part can also be made long so as to cover up to the first joint of the user's finger.

[0013] At least the main body part 2, the hood 3 and the face mask 5 can be made of cotton or polyester material. In the face mask 5, an end part of an adjustment mechanism 4 (hereinafter, fastener 4) such as a fastener for adjusting the opening and closing of the face mask 5 is provided so as to reach a position covering the lower half of the user's face (the user's nose part). Here, the fastener 4 can integrally open and close the main body part 2 and the face mask 5. Thereby, different from the conventional fastener, by the fastener reaching directly below the eyes, the user's face can be protected from ultraviolet rays as much as possible. When the fastener 4 is pulled up to the end portion of the face mask 5, the lower half of the face is covered by the cloth constituting the face mask 5 formed along the movement path of the fastener 4, and the portion of the hood 3 around the upper end of the face mask 5 spreads (swells) so as to be pushed forward, upward and / or laterally (with respect to the user's face) by the face mask 5. Thus, the hooded garment 1 of the present embodiment is characterized in that the hood 2 spreads in a predetermined direction in conjunction with the opening and closing of the fastener 4. That is, by pulling the fastener 4 up to the vicinity of the upper end of the face mask 5 (the position covering the user's face), the upper part of the face mask 5 comes into contact with the face mask peripheral part of the hood 3, and the hood 3 is pushed by the face mask 5 so as to naturally spread in the front, upper and lateral directions (the directions shown by the broken line arrows in FIG. 1) with respect to the user's face. As a result, the opening formed by the face mask 5 and the hood 3 does not closely adhere to the user's face, the user can spend comfortably, and a hood structure excellent in sun protection and design can be realized.

[0014] It is desirable that the spreading (swelling) portion (opening width) around the upper half of the face formed by the spreading of the hood 3 around the face mask 5 has a sufficient width for sun protection of the user's face and is not too large to ensure designability. Further, by using a thread (for example, NIROL (registered trademark)) having a function of absorbing and cutting "near-infrared rays" that cannot be prevented only by UV cut and have an adverse effect on the skin on the face peripheral parts such as the user's face, ears, and neck of the hood 3 and the face mask 5, it is possible to prevent adverse effects on the skin not limited to ultraviolet rays. Also, regarding ultraviolet countermeasures, by using a high-gauge material (for example, 46G high-gauge) excellent in functionality, high comfort can be realized, and further, by maintaining UPF50+, ultraviolet countermeasures can also be made possible.

[0015] FIG. 2 is a view showing an example (state where the fastener is lowered) of a hooded garment according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0016] As shown in Fig. 2, when the fastener 4 is open (pulled down), the face mask 5 is open so that the entire face of the user is exposed. In this state, the hood 3 is not in contact with the face mask 5, and thus, unlike the state where it bulges around the user's face, it is in a state (stored state) where it is unfolded vertically with respect to the face.

[0017] Here, as shown in Fig. 2, in order to maintain the upward and lateral expansion of the hood 3, as the above-described expansion mechanism, a shape maintenance mechanism 6 is provided around the opening formed by the hood 3 and the face mask 5. Specifically, after the hood 3 is expanded, so that the opening width around the face is maintained at an optimal angle and range, 1) a flexible wire is sewn around the opening 5, 2) the opening width is held at a constant width by a tension (stretchable) belt, 3) alternatively, an adjuster for finely adjusting the opening width is provided, or the opening 5 is provided with a shape memory material such as a shape memory polymer. Or, a chamber (not shown) that expands by air pressure is provided inside the hood 2, and the chamber expands or contracts in conjunction with the opening and closing of the fastener, so that the hood can be changed between the expanded form and the stored form. Or, in a state where the hood 3 is not used, the hood 3 can be configured to be storable on the user's back or collar.

[0018] As described above, the embodiments according to the invention have been described, but these can be implemented in various other forms, and can be implemented with various omissions, substitutions, and changes. These embodiments, variations, and omissions, substitutions, and changes are included in the technical scope of the claims and its equivalent scope. For example, in the above-described embodiments, the clothing with a hood has been mainly described, but the present invention can also be applied to a configuration of only a hood.
