Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a one-piece dress for changing clothes, and more particularly to a one-piece dress for changing clothes that can be worn as a one-piece garment and can be worn comfortably as a one-piece dress. [Background technology]

[0002] When engaging in various leisure activities, such as sports, swimming, camping, and mountain climbing, people need to change into special clothing, swimwear, and underwear. Normally, changing takes place in a changing room, but when it is crowded, people have to wait in line, making it difficult to change. Changing outdoors can be a psychological burden, as people are concerned about being seen by others and feel embarrassed, making it impossible.

[0003] For this reason, clothing that covers the body has been proposed, allowing people to change clothes safely without using a changing room and without worrying about other people's gazes (see Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3). The proposed clothing is tubular and made of opaque fabric, and after donning these changing clothes, the wearer can change into swimsuits, underwear, etc. while still wearing the clothes. The changing clothes are tailored to be suitably loose so as to conceal the wearer's figure. This allows for ample room for movement of the arms and legs, minimizing the hindrance of movement.

[0004] The clothing proposed so far reduces the psychological burden of changing clothes outdoors, providing a certain solution to the problem of a lack of changing rooms. However, previous clothing was obviously designed for changing clothes, lacked design for everyday use, and remained positioned merely as clothing to assist with changing.

[0009] Furthermore, in the one-piece dress, when the main body is folded, the folded main body may be stored in an inner pocket on the back.

[0010] Furthermore, the dress may have a right sleeve and a left sleeve near the neckline of the main body.

[0011] Furthermore, in the one-piece dress, the waist adjustment portion may be a string member.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] The one-piece dress for changing clothes according to the embodiment is a garment that covers the wearer's body while changing clothes, preventing others from looking at them and reducing psychological resistance. In particular, the embodiment employs a one-piece garment, making it comparable to everyday clothing and eliminating the sense of discomfort associated with conventional one-piece dressing. The main applications for the one-piece dress are anticipated to be sports facilities, swimming pools, beaches, camping, mountain climbing, and other leisure activities where changing rooms are often in short supply. It is also anticipated to be used in situations where a large number of people need to change clothes quickly, such as schools and workplaces.

[0020] The one-piece dress for changing clothes of the embodiment may be an individual's property or may be provided as equipment at schools or facilities. Because it is in the form of a one-piece dress, it can flexibly accommodate various body shapes and builds. It can also be used as equipment to support changing clothes at evacuation shelters during disasters. In addition to being used simply as clothing for changing clothes, the one-piece dress for changing clothes of the embodiment can also be used as support supplies for evacuation life because, as will be described later, it has a form that is comfortable to wear at all times.

[0021] FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a dress 1 for changing according to an embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view thereof. The dress 1 shown in the figure is a garment known as a T-dress or sack dress, which loosely covers the body. The main body 10 of the dress 1 comprises a front section 11 having a front bodice 12 that covers the upper front half of the body and a front skirt 13 that covers the lower front half of the body, and a back section 16 having a back bodice 17 that covers the upper back half of the body and a back skirt 18 that covers the lower back half of the body, and is formed into a tubular shape by sewing the front section 11 and the back section 16 together. The length (total height) of the main body 10 is arbitrary, but is preferably long enough to cover the shins in order to cover the body when changing clothes, and is preferably the length of a maxi dress, for example.

[0022] The material of the fabric for the main body 10 of the dress 1 is not particularly limited. It can be, for example, cotton only, a cotton and synthetic blend, polyester fiber, or acrylic fiber. Since the dress is intended to be folded, as will be described later, it is desirable for it to be wrinkle-resistant and lightweight, so synthetic fiber fabric is used. The front body 12, front skirt 13, back body 17, and back skirt 18 may all be made of the same fabric, or different fabrics may be used for different parts.

[0023] The dress has a neckline 14 that opens at the top of the main body 10 and through which the wearer's neck passes, and a skirt edge 15 that opens at the bottom of the main body 10. The neckline 14 is not shown in the figure to simplify the design. Of course, various collar shapes are available depending on design preferences. The skirt edge 15 has a slit 40. The front skirt 13 of the front portion 11 and the back skirt 18 of the back portion 16 are not completely sewn together, but are separated by the slit 40. The dress 1 has a long skirt length to cover a wide area of ​​the body during dressing. Furthermore, the dress 1 may be made of a fabric with low permeability and therefore low stretch. Therefore, the slit 40 is provided to ensure ease of movement and walking.

[0024] The main body portion 10 is provided with a waist adjustment portion 30 between the front body 12 and the front skirt 13 of the front portion 11, and between the back body 17 and the back skirt 18 of the back portion 16. In the changing dress 1 of this embodiment, it is a long, bag-shaped portion that houses a string member 31 inside. The string member 31 may be a string made of cotton thread, linen thread, or the like, or may be an elastic string to ensure flexibility. Alternatively, a belt (not shown) may be used. An elastic string is used in the illustration. The waist adjustment portion 30 (string member 31) allows the changing dress 1 to be tightened around the waist of the wearer when worn other than when changing clothes, improving the fit to the body. Furthermore, the appearance and shape of the dress when worn can be changed.

[0025] In the change dress 1 of this embodiment, cord stoppers 32, 33 are attached to both the left and right ends of the string member 31. The cord stoppers 32, 33 are components that clamp the string member 31 with a spring to prevent the string member 31 from shifting position after the length of the string member 31 has been adjusted. The cord stoppers 32, 33 allow for stepless length adjustment of the string member 31, allowing for flexible length adjustment according to the wearer's body shape.

[0026] In the front part 11 of the main body part 10 of the change dress 1 of this embodiment, a left pocket 44 is provided on the left side of the front skirt 13, and a right pocket 43 is provided on the right side. The right pocket 43 and left pocket 44 are located directly below the waist adjustment part 30. The right pocket 43 and left pocket 44 serve as appropriate storage areas when the change dress 1 is worn. In addition, a chest pocket 19 is provided on the left chest of the front body part 12 of the front part 11.

[0027] A locking ring (not shown) may be further provided on either the right pocket 43 or the left pocket 44, or on both the right pocket 43 and the left pocket 44. The locking ring is a circular ring or a "D"-shaped ring, and is a member for connecting a carabiner or other component. In an embodiment, a "D"-shaped locking ring (not shown) is provided on both the right pocket 43 and the left pocket 44. The locking ring may be attached inside the pocket, at the opening of the pocket. In an embodiment, a locking ring is provided on the opening of both the right pocket 43 and the left pocket 44. Since the locking ring is provided on both the left and right pockets, it can be used by either the wearer's dominant hand. For example, a carabiner, strap, or string attached to a small item such as a cell phone, smartphone, or wallet can be connected to the locking ring. This eliminates the risk of dropping or losing these small items.

[0028] The changing dress 1 of this embodiment has a right sleeve 41 and a left sleeve 42 near the neckline 14 of the main body 10. The left and right sleeves are optional in the design of the dress, and it can also be sleeveless (sleeveless, sleeveless, or in the form of a tank top). However, considering the purpose of the changing dress 1 of this embodiment, which is to block views while changing clothes, a sleeveless dress is undesirable because it may expose the chest from the base of the arms, armpits, etc. For this reason, the right sleeve 41 and the left sleeve 42 are provided so that the chest can be concealed from the base of the arms, armpits, etc. The length of the right sleeve 41 and the left sleeve 42 is long enough to allow the wearer to easily move their arms in and out of the sleeves when changing clothes, and may be short sleeves, five-quarter sleeves, three-quarter sleeves, etc. as shown in the figure.

[0029] As a feature of the change dress 1 of this embodiment, in addition to the right pocket 43, left pocket 44, and chest pocket 19, which are visible from the outside when worn, the dress also includes an inner front pocket 21 provided on the inner side of the front portion 11 and an inner back pocket 26 provided on the inner side of the back portion 16. As can be seen from Figures 1 and 2, the inner front pocket 21 and the inner back pocket 26 are provided directly below the waist adjustment portion 30 on the back side of the fabric of the main body portion 10.

[0030] FIG. 3 is an enlarged plan view of the front inner pocket 21. The front inner pocket 21 is an inner pocket that cannot be seen from the outside when the change dress 1 is being worn. FIG. 3 shows the fabric of the main body 10 of the change dress 1 turned inside out to expose the back side. The front inner pocket 21 is sewn and attached to the back side 13b of the fabric of the front skirt 13. The front inner pocket 21 is provided with a front pouch-like portion 21p for storing items and a front opening 24 for putting items in and taking them out. Furthermore, an inner pocket fastening portion 23 is provided at the bottom end of the front pouch-like portion 21p. The inner pocket fastening portion 23 is a ring-shaped member that is used when rolling up the front skirt 13, as described below.

[0031] When the wearer puts on the dress 1 and puts their arms inside the dress 1 (main body 10) to get changed, they can put underwear, swimwear, etc. they will be changing into the front inner pocket 21 beforehand, or put the underwear, swimwear, etc. they have taken off into the front inner pocket 21. Because the front inner pocket 21 is located in the midline of the abdomen, it is easy to take things in and out of the front inner pocket 21 even when feeling around.

[0032] By storing underwear for a change of clothes in advance in the front inner pocket 21, the underwear will not be seen by others when changing clothes, reducing the psychological burden. Furthermore, sanitary products can be stored in the front inner pocket 21, and the sanitary products can be changed while wearing the one-piece dress 1 for changing clothes.

[0033] FIG. 4 is an enlarged plan view of the back inner pocket 26. The back inner pocket 26 is an inner pocket that cannot be seen from the outside when the dress 1 is being worn. FIG. 4 shows the main body 10 of the dress 1 turned inside out to expose the back side. As shown in FIG. 4(A), the back inner pocket 26 is sewn and attached to the back side 18b of the fabric of the back skirt 18. The back inner pocket 26 has a front pouch-shaped portion 26p for storing the dress 1, a back opening 27, and straps 28, as described below. FIG. 4(B) shows the back inner pocket 26 folded toward the back bodice 17. The back inner pocket 26 has a tab 29 that covers the back opening 27.

[0034] 5 and 6 are schematic diagrams illustrating the state of folding, which is a feature other than its use as a dress, of the embodiment of the dress 1. As can be seen from the schematic diagrams of Figures 5(A) and (B), the dress 1 is turned inside out to expose the back side, and then the front portion 11 and the back portion 16 are folded lengthwise from the left and right, with the back inner pocket 26 facing outwards, so that the width is one-third of the total, approximately matching the length of the back opening 27.

[0035] Next, as shown in the schematic diagram of FIG. 6(A), the front portion 11 and the back portion 16 of the dress 1 are rolled up from the state shown in FIG. 5(B), and the main body portion 10 is wound into a roll. Then, as shown in the schematic diagram of FIG. 6(B), the wound main body portion 10 is pushed into the front bag-like portion 26p through the back opening 27, and finally, the back opening 27 is covered with a tab 29. In this way, the entire dress 1 is folded and stored in the back inner pocket 26. This reduces the volume of the dress 1 when not in use or during storage, making it easier to store. This also improves the convenience of carrying the dress 1 and distributing it. The strap 28 makes it easy to grasp the back inner pocket 26.

[0036] FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing the adjusted skirt length of the dress 1. The dress 1 is a garment that not only covers the body when getting changed, but also has a design that makes it suitable for everyday wear. Therefore, the appearance of the dress 1 when worn can be changed (arranged) by adjusting the skirt length. Even with a single dress 1, the freedom to mix and match and coordinate increases, increasing its appeal as a product, not just as a changing garment.

[0037] The schematic diagram in Figure 7(A) shows the state in which the dress 1 is worn as is, with the waist adjustment part 30 (string member 31) not adjusted. The skirt end 15 reaches the shins of the wearer's legs L. Dressing is performed while wearing the dress 1 in the relaxed position shown in Figure 7(A).

[0038] The schematic diagram in Figure 7(B) shows the state in which the waist is tightened by the waist adjustment part 30 (string member 31). At the same time, the skirt end 15 is folded inward to reveal the legs L up to below or above the knee. The backs of the front skirt 13 and back skirt 18 are equipped with buttons or hook-and-loop fasteners (not shown), etc., which hold the skirt end 15 in place when it is folded inward. A new folded skirt end 15s then appears. The skirt length is adjustable, making it easy to coordinate. Furthermore, because the skirt end 15 can be folded inward even with the limited number of standard sizes of the one-piece dress 1, it can be adjusted to suit the wearer's physique.

[0039] The schematic diagram of FIG. 7(C) shows the state in which the waist is tightened by the waist adjustment portion 30 (string member 31). At the same time, the skirt end 15 is folded inward, and the front skirt 13 is partially rolled up. In the illustration, the legs L are exposed up to or below the knee, and further, a portion of the thigh above the knee is exposed in front. In the illustration, a new folded skirt end 15t appears, and lifted portions 45, 45 are created in the front skirt 13. Appropriate strings (not shown) are provided on the back of the front skirt 13 at positions corresponding to the lifted portions 45, 45. These strings are tied to the inner pocket fastening portions 23 of the front inner pocket 21. As shown, by moderately rolling up the front skirt 13 as shown, not only does it change the impression and atmosphere of the dress 1 when worn, it also makes it easier to walk and work.

[0040] The changing dress of the embodiment naturally has the basic function of covering the body while changing clothes. In particular, the inclusion of an inner front pocket allows for changing undergarments and other items to be hidden inside the clothing without being visible. Furthermore, the storage in the inner back pocket allows for easy handling by compressing the volume when folded. Furthermore, the skirt length and waist can be adjusted, making it more than just a changing garment; it can also be worn as everyday clothing without any problems. Additionally, the changing dress of the embodiment is made of lightweight fabric, making it easy to carry. Therefore, when a change of clothes is needed due to a sudden downpour or other incident while out and about, the changing dress itself can also function as a changing garment.
