Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a garment, a method for stretching sleeves, a method for forming garments, trousers, a method for stretching hems, and a method for forming trousers, and more particularly to a garment in which the length of the sleeves can be adjusted, a method for stretching sleeves, a method for forming garments, trousers, a method for stretching hems, and a method for forming trousers. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, it has been known that children's physical growth and development is remarkable during their early childhood, and that their clothes need to be replaced frequently to keep up with their growth. This has led to the problem that the cost of clothing for young children increases, putting a strain on household finances.

[0003] Figure 6 shows an example of children's clothing sizes. As you can see, in the 10 years from 3 months to 10 years, the size changes by 9 sizes. As you can see, children quickly outgrow their clothes, so they cannot wear cute clothes for long, and the cost of replacing them increases.

[0004] One solution to the problem of children growing out of clothes in a short time is to change the size of the clothes freely. Specifically, it is sufficient to change the length of the sleeves of the clothes according to the child's growth, and the following fasteners and clothes for changing the sleeve length have been developed (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

[0005] Figure 7 is a front view showing the worn state of the cuff fastener disclosed in Patent Document 1. Specifically, the cuff fastener 10 disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a belt-like elastic device that combines rubber with different elasticity rates, such as a neck / shoulder belt section 11 and a sleeve pulling section 12, with clips 13, which are fasteners for gripping the cuffs, attached to both ends, and hangs from the neck to fix the rolled-up cuffs, and adjusts the length and elasticity with length adjustment section 18 and cord stopper 16 to adjust the sleeve length.

[0006] FIG. 8 is a front view showing the details of a baby's clothing having both short and long sleeves disclosed in Patent Document 2. In FIG. Specifically, the infant's clothing 20 disclosed in Patent Document 2 is composed of a short-sleeved clothing body 21 and attached sleeves 22, and a number of hooks 23 serving as fasteners are provided at the part connecting the short-sleeved clothing body 21 and the attached sleeves 22. By attaching and detaching the attached sleeves 22 connected via the hooks 23, the length of the sleeves can be adjusted to long or short sleeves. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0007] [Patent Document 1] JP 2014-118654 A [Patent Document 2] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 5-35809 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] However, the cuff fastener disclosed in Patent Document 1 is used by wrapping the neck / shoulder belt around the neck, so there is a risk that the neck / shoulder belt will become entangled when used by a young child who moves around a lot.

[0009] Furthermore, the neck / shoulder support belt portion 11 and the sleeve traction portion 12, which are elastic devices, are made of a belt-like material that combines rubber with different elasticity rates, so if they become entangled around the neck, there is a risk that the elasticity will put pressure on the baby's neck.

[0010] Furthermore, because clip 13, which is a fastener for gripping the cuff, is fixed to the cuff, there is a risk that clip 13 may come off the cuff if a child fiddles with clip 13. If clip 13 comes off the cuff, the shortened sleeve will hang down too long, which is very dangerous because the child will not be able to use their hands if they fall over.

[0011] Considering the infant clothing disclosed in Patent Document 2, the infant clothing disclosed in Patent Document 2 has the clothing body 21 and the attached sleeves 22 connected via multiple hooks 23 in the middle of the sleeve, so there is little risk that the connection between the clothing body 21 and the attached sleeves 22 will come undone even if the infant fiddles with the hooks 23.

[0012] However, the infant clothing disclosed in Patent Document 2 only allows the sleeve length to be adjusted to two lengths: short sleeves and long sleeves. Therefore, although it is possible to adjust the length of the sleeves for each season, such as summer and winter, it is not possible to adjust the sleeve length according to the age or body type of the infant, and therefore this infant clothing cannot be worn for many years.

[0013] For example, the length of the sleeves can be finely adjusted by dividing the sleeves into several parts in the longitudinal direction and connecting the divided sleeves via several hooks 23. This allows the sleeve length to be adjusted to suit the age and body type of the child, so that the child's clothing can be worn for many years.

[0014] However, because the split sleeves are connected in the longitudinal direction of the sleeves via multiple hooks 23, this reduces the aesthetic appeal of the garment, and there is also a risk that hands or fingers may get caught in the split sleeve connections when wearing the garment.

[0015] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and has as its object to provide clothing, a method for stretching sleeves, a method for forming clothing, trousers, a method for stretching hems, and a method for forming trousers that can be worn safely for long periods of time by young children whose bodies are experiencing rapid growth and development. [Means for solving the problem]

[0016] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a garment having adjustable sleeve lengths, characterized in that it comprises a contraction means for contracting the underside of the sleeve from the cuff toward the armhole, and a fastening means for fastening the cuff that has been contracted toward the armhole at the armhole side. As a result, the shrinking means shrinks the underside of the sleeve from the cuff toward the armhole, and the fastening means fastens the cuff that has been shrunken toward the armhole on the armhole side.

[0017] The present invention also provides a method for stretching and contracting the length of a sleeve portion of a garment, the method comprising the steps of: shrinking the underside of the sleeve portion from the cuff portion in a direction from the armhole portion to the armhole portion using a shrinking means; and fastening the cuff portion that has been shrinked in the armhole portion direction at the armhole portion side using a fastening means. As a result, the shrinking means shrinks the underside of the sleeve from the cuff toward the armhole, and the fastening means fastens the cuff that has been shrunken toward the armhole on the armhole side.

[0018] The present invention also provides a method for forming garments in which the length of the sleeves can be adjusted, the method comprising the steps of providing a contraction means for contracting the underside of the sleeve from the cuff toward the armhole, and providing a fastening means for fastening the cuff that has been contracted toward the armhole at the armhole side. This provides a contraction means for contracting the underside of the sleeve from the cuff toward the armhole, and a fastening means for fastening the cuff contracted toward the armhole at the armhole side.

[0019] The present invention also provides trousers with adjustable hem lengths, characterized in that they are provided with a contraction means for contracting the crotch side of the hem from the hem opening direction to the crotch opening, and a fastening means for fastening the hem opening contracted in the crotch opening direction at the crotch opening side. As a result, the shrinking means shrinks the crotch side of the hem from the hem opening toward the crotch opening, and the fastening means fastens the hem opening shrunk toward the crotch opening at the crotch opening side.

[0020] The present invention also provides a method for stretching and changing the length of a hem of trousers, characterized in that it comprises a step of shrinking the crotch side of the hem from the hem opening direction to the crotch opening using a shrinking means, and a step of fastening the hem opening that has been shrinked in the crotch opening direction at the crotch opening side using a fastening means. As a result, the shrinking means shrinks the crotch side of the hem from the hem opening toward the crotch opening, and the fastening means fastens the hem opening shrunk toward the crotch opening at the crotch opening side.

[0021] The present invention also provides a method for forming trousers whose hem length is adjustable, comprising the steps of providing a contraction means for contracting the crotch side of the hem from the hem opening direction toward the crotch opening, and providing a fastening means for fastening the hem opening contracted in the crotch opening direction at the crotch opening side. As a result, a contraction means is provided for contracting the crotch side of the hem from the hem opening toward the crotch opening, and a fastening means is provided for fastening the hem opening contracted toward the crotch opening at the crotch opening side. Effect of the Invention

[0022] According to the garment, sleeve stretching method, garment forming method, trousers, hem stretching method, and trouser forming method of the present invention, the contracting means contracts the underside of the sleeve from the cuff to the armhole, and the locking means locks the cuff that has been contracted toward the armhole at the armhole side, so that the length of the sleeve can be freely changed according to the growth of the body. Therefore, even small children, whose bodies are growing and developing rapidly, can wear the same garment for a long period of time.

[0023] Furthermore, because the retaining means retains the contracted sleeves at the armholes, the wearer, an infant, will not be able to release the retaining means by touching it with his or her fingers, allowing even infants to wear the garment safely.

[0024] In addition, the contraction means contracts the crotch side of the hem from the crotch to the crotch, and the hem contracted toward the crotch is locked by the locking means at the crotch, so the length of the hem can be freely changed to match the growth of the body. This allows even young children, whose bodies are growing and developing rapidly, to wear the same garment for a long period of time.

[0025] Furthermore, because the retaining means retains the contracted hem at the crotch, the wearer, an infant, will not be able to release the retaining means by touching it with his or her fingers, so even infants can wear the garment safely. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Figure 8] FIG. 1 is a front view showing details of an infant's clothing having both short and long sleeves disclosed in Patent Document 2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0027] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view and a back view showing details of a garment according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the garment of this embodiment is intended to be worn by infants, whose body sizes change significantly as they grow. Here, the garment of this embodiment will be described in particular as a blouse 100 to be worn by infants.

[0028] The blouse 100 is made of a fabric made of a natural material such as linen or cotton, and includes a front body 110, a back body 120 sewn from the front body 110 to the back side, sleeves 130 sewn at the armholes on both sides of the front body 110 and the back body 120, and a contraction means 140 for expanding and contracting the sleeves 130.

[0029] The back body 120 is provided with a left back body 122 arranged on the left half of the body of the baby who will wear it, a right back body 123 arranged on the right half of the body of the baby who will wear it, and an opening / closing part 124 that is provided in the length direction between the left back body 122 and the right back body 123 and allows at least one of the left back body 122 and the right back body 123 to be opened from the back and is fastened by at least one fastener 125. In addition, a neckline that is an opening for passing the baby's head upward is formed at the upper part of the front body 110 and the back body 120.

[0030] The blouse 100 of this embodiment is a garment that can be worn for a long period of time by infants of a small stature, as well as infants whose body size increases with growth, and the size of the blouse 100 is made larger than what the actual wearer will wear, such as a size 90 that can be worn by a 3-year-old child or a size 120 that can be worn by a 6-year-old child.

[0031] The contraction means 140 is provided on the underside of the sleeve portion 130 in FIG. 1, that is, from the cuff portion of the sleeve portion 130 on the side that comes into contact with the body portion consisting of the front body portion 110 and the back body portion 120, to the armhole portion that corresponds to the armpit of the baby wearing the garment.

[0032] The size of the blouse 100 can be adjusted to fit the height of an infant by adjusting the length of the sleeves 130 by contracting and expanding them with the contraction means 140. This allows infants, whose bodies are growing and developing rapidly, to wear the blouse 100 for a long period of time.

[0033] Specifically, the contraction means 140 includes a tubular threading portion 141 formed along the seam between a front sleeve portion 131 provided at the front side of the sleeve portion 130 (not shown here) and a back sleeve portion 132 provided at the back side, a string-like threading cord 142 passed through the inside of the threading portion 141, and a locking portion 143 that locks the threading cord 142 in a stretched or contracted state.

[0034] The through portion 141 is formed, for example, from a cloth made of the same material as the sleeve portion 130 into a tubular shape, and is sewn to the sleeve portion 130 along the sewn portion between the front sleeve portion 131 and the back sleeve portion 132. A string 142 is passed through the inside of the through-hole 141. One end of the string 142 passed through the through-hole 141 is fixed to the cuff side, which is one end side of the through-hole 141. The string 142 with one end fixed to the cuff side of the through-hole 141 has a sufficient length to enable the string 142 to be pulled out from the armhole side, which is the other end side of the through-hole 141, when the through-hole 141 is in a new state.

[0035] A locking portion 143 is provided on the armhole side, which is the other end side of the threading portion 141. The locking portion 143 is for locking the threading portion 141 through which the threading string 142 is passed, while maintaining the threading portion 141 in a bellows-like contracted state along the threading string 142.

[0036] For example, the locking portion 143 includes a string-like locking string 143L provided for locking the threading string 142 near the armhole side, which is the other end side of the threading portion 141. By tying the other end side of the threading string 142 to the locking string 143L in a state in which the threading string 142 is contracted in a bellows shape along the threading string 142, the threading string can be locked while maintaining the state in which it is contracted in a bellows shape along the threading string 142.

[0037] In this manner, by engaging the contraction means 140 with the engaging portion 143 in the contracted state, the lower side of the sleeve portion 130, which is in contact with the body portion, can be shortened. This allows the blouse 100 to be deformed to fit the body shape of an infant or small child who has short arms.

[0038] In addition, by changing the contraction means 140 from a contracted state to an expanded state, that is, by stretching the threading part 141 contracted like an accordion along the threading string 142, the lower part of the sleeve part 130 returns to its original length. This allows the blouse 100 to be deformed to fit an infant whose arms become longer as they grow.

[0039] Furthermore, the contraction means 140 can adjust the length of the sleeve portion 130 steplessly by adjusting the degree of contraction of the threading portion 141 that is contracted along the threading string 142. This allows the size of the blouse 100 to be adjusted by adjusting the length of the sleeve portion 130 in accordance with the growth of the baby or toddler.

[0040] Furthermore, by providing a contraction means 140 on the underside of the sleeve portion 130, from the armpit of the baby wearing it to the cuff portion at the wrist, the size can be changed while maintaining the loose silhouette characteristic of the blouse 100.

[0041] Also, by providing the locking portion 143 on the armhole side, which locks in a bellows-like contracted state along the string 142, it is possible to prevent the baby from touching the locking portion 143 and releasing the locked state, that is, from undoing the state in which the other end of the string 142 is tied to the locking string 143L. This prevents the baby from being injured by the elongated sleeve portion 130.

[0042] Furthermore, by providing the locking portion 143 on the inside of the sleeve portion 130, it is possible to completely prevent an infant from touching the locking portion 143 and releasing the locked state. Therefore, there is no risk of the thread string 142 or the locking string 143L getting entangled in the infant's fingers or body, and the blouse 100 can be worn safely.

[0043] In this embodiment, the blouse 100 worn by a baby girl has been described as an example, but by changing the shape, it can also take the form of a dress shirt worn by a baby boy.

[0044] Furthermore, the contraction means 140 may not only be provided on outerwear as in the blouse 100 of this embodiment, but also on pants, for example, which are provided with contraction means 140 for contracting the crotch side of the bottom of pants from the bottom hem toward the crotch, and which are provided with fastening means for fastening the bottom hem that has been contracted toward the crotch at the crotch side. This allows the crotch length of the pants to be freely adjusted, making it possible to form pants that are infant clothing that can be safely worn for a long period of time by infants whose bodies are rapidly growing and developing.

[0045] FIG. 2 is a front view and a back view showing the appearance of the garment according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the contraction means 140 (not shown) is provided on the inside of the sleeve portion 130, so that the contraction means 140 is not exposed to the outside of the blouse 100, thereby improving the aesthetics.

[0046] In addition, by providing the contraction means 140 on the inside of the sleeve 130, the baby cannot touch the contraction means 140, so the length of the adjusted sleeve 130 does not change when worn. Furthermore, the danger caused by the threading string 142 and the fastening string 143L of the contraction means 140 can be reduced.

[0047] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing details of the contraction means. As shown in FIG. 3, the contraction means 140 includes a threading portion 141, a threading string 142, and a fastening portion 143.

[0048] The through portion 141 is formed, for example, by sewing a cloth of the same material as the sleeve portion 130 into a tubular shape along the sewn portion between the front sleeve lining portion 131B and the back sleeve lining portion 132B, which is the back side of the sewn portion between the front sleeve portion 131 and the back sleeve portion 132.

[0049] With a string 142 threaded through the inside of the threading portion 141, one end of the string 142 is sewn to the cuff side of the sleeve portion 130 and fixed. The length of the sleeve 130 can be adjusted by grasping the other end of the string 142 on the armhole side with the hand and contracting the threading portion 141 in an accordion-like manner along the fixed string 142.

[0050] With the threading portion 141 contracted in a bellows-like shape, the threading string 142 is tied to a locking string 143L fixed to the other end side of the threading portion 141, so that the threading portion 141 can be locked while maintaining the contracted bellows-like shape along the threading string 142.

[0051] In addition, the contraction means 140 can be locked in a contracted state by passing a plurality of strings 142 through the inside of the threading portion 141, providing an opening for each of the strings 142 at the other end side of the threading portion 141, and tying the strings 142 protruding from each of the openings.

[0052] Further, as in this embodiment, the locking portion 143 can be locked by a locking tool such as a cord stopper provided on the other end side of the through string 142, rather than simply tying the through string 142 to the locking string 143L.

[0053] FIG. 4 is a front view and a rear view showing a state in which the contraction means is contracted. As shown in FIG. 4, the contraction means 140 is engaged by an engagement portion 143 in a state in which a threading portion 141 is contracted in a bellows shape along a threading string 142.

[0054] The threading string 142 is tied to the locking string 143L and locked at the locking portion 143. For example, the threading string 142 pulled out from the threading portion 141 can be tied short by tying the threading string 142 and the locking string 143L together with a bow knot. This allows the length of the sleeve portion 130 to be adjusted without the threading string 142 pulled out from the threading portion 141 hanging down from the cuff.

[0055] FIG. 5 is a front view and a back view showing the appearance of the garment according to the present embodiment with the contracting means contracted. As shown in FIG. 5, the contraction means 140 (not shown) is provided on the inside of the sleeve portion 130, so that the contraction means 140 is not exposed to the outside of the blouse 100, thereby improving aesthetics.

[0056] In addition, by providing the contraction means 140 on the inside of the sleeve 130, the baby cannot touch the contraction means 140, so the length of the adjusted sleeve 130 does not change when worn. Furthermore, the danger caused by the threading string 142 and the fastening string 143L of the contraction means 140 can be reduced.

[0057] Furthermore, by providing a contraction means 140 on the underside of the sleeve portion 130, from the armpit of the baby wearing it to the cuff portion at the wrist, the size can be changed while maintaining the loose silhouette characteristic of the blouse 100. [Explanation of symbols]
