Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to infant clothing in which parts of the fabric are overlapped, and in which the joining of snap buttons can be easily released. [Background technology]

[0002] A typical structure used in baby clothes is a "split" structure in which a pair of front panels are overlapped front and back and fastened so that they can be put on and taken off. This split structure can enhance the heat retention effect by covering the abdomen of the baby twice. In addition, compared to adults, babies tend to have relatively large heads compared to their torsos, but the split structure can prevent the head from interfering with putting on and taking off the baby clothes.

[0003] One method of fastening the opening structure is to use snap buttons (for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3123818 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Baby clothes need to be designed so that they will not come off even if the baby moves around vigorously, so snap buttons with a certain level of fastening strength are used.

[0006] However, in this case, it may be difficult to remove the snap buttons when taking off the clothes, and there is a concern that the fabric of the baby's clothes may be damaged when trying to remove the snap buttons by pulling on them.

[0007] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and provides infant clothing in which parts of the fabric are overlapped and in which the joining of snap buttons can be easily released. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the baby clothing of the present invention comprises: A garment for infants and toddlers in which parts of fabric are overlapped, the garment comprising a pair of snap buttons for removably fastening the fabrics together at the overlapping parts of the fabric; A pair of tapes to which the pair of snap buttons are attached and which are fixed to the fabric, Equipped with The pair of tapes each have a clamping portion that is clamped by a user when fastening or detaching the pair of snap buttons, The clamping portion includes a free end of the tape and is formed by a portion of the tape that is raised above the fabric. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the present invention, in infant clothing in which parts of fabric are overlapped, a pair of snap buttons are provided for removably fastening the overlapped fabrics together. The snap buttons are attached to the fabric via tape. A certain range of the tape, including the free end, is raised from the fabric (not fixed to the fabric by sewing or the like), and this portion serves as a clamping portion that can be held by the user's fingers. Therefore, when releasing the snap buttons from their joined state, the user can hold the clamping portion with his / her fingers. Therefore, the user can efficiently apply a force in the separation direction to each snap button by holding each clamping portion with the left and right fingers and pulling the clamping portions apart. This avoids an operation of pinching and pulling the fabric with the fingers, and the joining of the snap buttons can be easily released without damaging the fabric.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] [First embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, the present invention is embodied in a coverall-type baby clothing 10 worn by a baby as underwear.

[0012] Baby clothes 10 are formed by sewing together multiple pieces of fabric 11. Fabric 11 is a plain weave that contains organic cotton. As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, baby clothes 10 are formed by sewing together a body portion 12, a left sleeve portion 21, a right sleeve portion 22 (hereinafter, sometimes collectively referred to as "left and right sleeve portions 21, 22"), and a crotch portion 26.

[0013] The body portion 12 covers the wearer's body from the torso to the legs, and has a left front body portion 13 and a right front body portion 14 (hereinafter, sometimes collectively referred to as "left and right front body portions 13, 14") that cover the wearer's body from the front, and a back body portion 17 that covers the wearer's body from the rear. When worn, the left front body portion 13 and the right front body portion 14 are partially overlapped in front of the wearer's torso, and this overlap forms a joint 16. In the joint 16, the left front body portion 13 is overlapped on the outside of the right front body portion 14.

[0014] The left and right sleeves 21, 22 are sewn to both shoulders of the body 12. The neckline 24 of the baby clothes 10 is formed by the portions of the side edges of the left and right front bodies 13, 14 above the seam 16, the upper edge of the back body 17, and the upper edges of the left and right sleeves 21, 22.

[0015] The crotch pad 26 covers the crotch of the wearer and is sewn to the center of the lower end of the rear body 17 so as to protrude downward from the lower end of the rear body 17. When worn, the crotch pad 26 is pulled from the back of the wearer through the crotch to the front and fastened to the left and right front body parts 13, 14 near the inner thighs of the wearer. At this time, the edges of the left and right front body parts 13, 14 and the edges of the crotch pad 26 form a pair of left and right rings that surround the left and right thighs of the wearer, respectively. The lower parts of the left and right front body parts 13, 14 and the crotch pad 26 form the legs 27 of the baby clothes 10.

[0016] A strip-shaped binder 31 is provided on a part of the edge of the fabric 11 of the baby clothes 10. More specifically, the binder 31 is folded in half along the longitudinal direction. The binder 31 folded in half is in a state where one side of the inner surface of the binder 31 is in contact with the front side of the fabric 11 and the other side of the inner surface of the binder 31 is in contact with the back side of the fabric 11 at the edge of the fabric 11. In this state, the binder 31 is sewn to the fabric 11 with sewing thread 36. This protects the edge of the fabric 11 of the baby clothes 10. In order to prevent stiffness caused by the binder 31, a stretchable cut-and-sew material is used as the material for the binder 31.

[0017] Baby clothes 10 has, as binders 31, a first binder 32 provided from the lower end of each side edge of left and right front body parts 13, 14 to neckline part 24, and a second binder 34 provided at the lower edge of crotch part 26. In the following description, of first binder 32, the part on left front body part 13 may be referred to as first binder 32a, and the part on right front body part 14 may be referred to as first binder 32b.

[0018] Baby clothes 10 have snap buttons 41-47, 51-57 for fastening the overlapping pieces of fabric 11. Snap buttons 41-47 are female snap buttons made up of a rivet and a recessed member. Snap buttons 51-57 are male snap buttons made up of a rivet and a protruding member.

[0019] Each snap button 41-47, 51-57 is attached by sandwiching the attachment target between the rivet and a convex member (or a concave member). In detail, the rivet has a needle portion 59 (see FIG. 4, etc.), and this needle portion 59 penetrates the attachment target. A through hole is formed in the convex member (or the concave member), and the tip of the needle portion 59 of the rivet is inserted into this through hole. In this state, the tip of the needle portion 59 of the rivet is crushed by a dedicated hand press. This prevents the snap buttons 41-47, 51-57 from coming off the attachment target.

[0020] The first binder 32a is provided with four snap buttons 41, 43, 44, and 45. The snap button 41 fastens the left and right front body pieces 13, 14 together in front of the wearer's right chest. The snap button 43 fastens the left and right front body pieces 13, 14 together in front of the wearer's lower abdomen. The snap buttons 44 and 45 fasten the left front body piece 13 and the crotch pad 26 together at the wearer's inner thigh.

[0021] The first binder 32b is provided with two snap buttons 46, 47. The snap buttons 46, 47 fasten the left front body 13 and the crotch pad 26 at the inner thigh region of the wearer.

[0022] The second binder 34 is provided with four snap buttons 54, 55, 56, and 57. The snap buttons 54 and 55 fasten the crotch portion 26 and the left front body 13 together, and are joined to the snap buttons 44 and 45, respectively. The snap buttons 56 and 57 fasten the crotch portion 26 and the right front body 14 together, and are joined to the snap buttons 46 and 47, respectively.

[0023] In addition, when snap buttons are provided on the binder, the width dimension of the binder when folded in half must be larger than the diameter of each snap button. For this reason, in this embodiment, the width dimension of binder 31 when folded in half is set to be slightly larger than the diameter of snap buttons 41, 43-47, and 54-57.

[0024] Four snap buttons 42, 51 to 53 are provided in the portion of the fabric 11 where the binder 31 is not provided. The snap buttons 42, 51 to 53 are all for fastening the left and right front body pieces 13, 14 together in a closed state. The snap button 51 is joined to the snap button 41. The snap buttons 42 and 52 are joined to each other. The snap button 53 is joined to the snap button 43.

[0025] Here, the snap buttons 44-47, 54-57 that fasten the crotch part 26 to either one of the left and right front body parts 13, 14 are attached directly to the binder 31. More specifically, the snap buttons 44-47, 54-57 are attached so as to sandwich the binder 31 and the fabric 11 with the rivets and the convex members (concave members). At this time, the needles 59 of the rivets penetrate the binder 31 and the fabric 11.

[0026] On the other hand, the snap buttons 41-43, 51-53 that fasten the left and right front body pieces 13, 14 together are attached to the fabric 11 via strip-shaped tapes 61-63, 71-73. The attachment structure of the snap buttons 41-43, 51-53 will be described below with reference to Figs. 4-6. The tapes 61-63, 71-73 are made of synthetic fibers and have higher tensile strength than the fabric 11. The width of the tapes 61-63, 71-73 is set in the range of 10mm to 13mm.

[0027] First, the attachment structure of the snap buttons 41, 51 that fasten the left and right front body pieces 13, 14 together in front of the right chest of the wearer will be described.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 4, the snap button 41 is provided via the tape 61 on the portion of the left front body 13 where the first binder 32a is provided. More specifically, the tape 61 is folded in half at a crease 61d formed in the center of the lengthwise direction. The end of the folded tape 61 on the crease 61d side protrudes from the left front body 13. The end opposite the crease 61d (in other words, the portion where both ends of the tape 61 before folding overlap) abuts against the outer surface of the first binder 32a that faces the right front body 14 when the clasp 16 is closed. In this state, the folded tape 61 is sewn to the first binder 32a and the fabric 11 by the sewing thread 36. The area of ​​the folded tape 61 that is sewn to the first binder 32a is hereinafter referred to as the "fixed portion 61a."

[0029] Incidentally, when sewing the first binder 32a and the left front body 13 together with the sewing thread 36, the tape 61 is also sewn to the first binder 32a.

[0030] A snap button 41 is attached to the overlapping portion of the tape 61, the first binder 32a, and the fabric 11. The snap button 41 has a rivet 41a and a recessed member 41b, and is attached so that the tape 61, the first binder 32a, and the fabric 11 are sandwiched between the rivet 41a and the recessed member 41b. In this case, the rivet 41a is arranged on the fabric 11 side, and the recessed member 41b is arranged on the tape 61 side, so that the recess of the recessed member 41b faces the right front body 14 when the clasp 16 is closed. The area of ​​the folded tape 61 where the snap button 41 is attached is hereinafter referred to as the "attachment portion 61b."

[0031] The area of ​​the folded tape 61 other than the fixed portion 61a and the attachment portion 61b is intended to be held by the user when handling the snap button 41, and is hereinafter referred to as the "holding portion 61c." The holding portion 61c protrudes from the left front body 13.

[0032] On the other hand, the snap button 51 is provided on the surface side of the fabric 11 of the right front body 14 via the tape 71 at the seam between the right front body 14 and the right sleeve 22. More specifically, the tape 71 is folded in three in a Z-shape (i.e., both ends of the tape 71 before folding in three overlap with the middle part of the tape 71 sandwiched between them). The folded tape 71 is fixed to the surface side of the fabric 11 such that the overlapping parts of both ends of the tape 71 before folding in three and the middle part of the tape 71 overlap the seam between the right front body 14 and the right sleeve 22. More specifically, the middle part of the folded tape 71, the end part of the fabric 11 of the left front body 13, and the end part of the fabric 11 of the right sleeve 22 are sewn together by the sewing thread 37 in this order. The area of ​​the folded tape 71 sewn to the fabric 11 is hereinafter referred to as the "fixed part 71a".

[0033] Incidentally, the tape 71 is sewn onto the fabric 11 when sewing the right front body 14 and the right sleeve portion 22 together with the sewing machine thread 37. It is advisable to fasten the tape 71 and the right front body 14 together with the basting thread 38 beforehand, as this improves workability.

[0034] The folded tape 71 is divided in two in the longitudinal direction by the fixing portion 71a. The region on the right front body 14 side has a snap button 51 attached thereto, and is hereinafter referred to as the "attachment portion 71b." More specifically, the attachment portion 71b is in a state of being raised in front of the right sleeve portion 22, and the snap button 51 has a rivet 51a and a convex member 51b, and is attached so as to sandwich the attachment portion 71b by the rivet 51a and the convex member 51b. At this time, the snap button 51 is attached in such a direction that the convex portion of the convex member 51b faces the left front body 13 (more specifically, the concave portion of the concave member 41b) when the mating portion 16 is closed. On the other hand, the region on the right sleeve portion 22 side is an area that is assumed to be held by the user, and is hereinafter referred to as the "holding portion 71c." The holding portion 71c is in a state of being raised in front of the right front body 14.

[0035] Here, as shown in Fig. 5, the snap button 41 and the snap button 51 can be joined by fitting the convex portion of the convex member 51b into the concave portion of the concave member 41b. This allows the clasp 16 to be fastened in a closed state. When the snap button 41 and the snap button 51 are joined, the pair of clamping portions 61c, 71c face each other. At this time, both of the clamping portions 61c, 71c protrude from the clasp 16 and are exposed on the front side of the baby clothes 10.

[0036] Furthermore, the length dimension L1 of the clamping portion 61c is 10 mm. The length dimension L2 of the clamping portion 71c is 15 mm. A distance D1 is formed between the tip of the clamping portion 61c and the tip of the clamping portion 71c. The distance D1 is 14 mm. The fixing portion 71a is covered and hidden by the clamping portion 61c.

[0037] Next, a mounting structure of the snap buttons 42, 52 that fasten the left and right front body pieces 13, 14 together in front of the left chest of the wearer will be described.

[0038] The snap button 42 is attached to the back side of the fabric 11 of the left front body 13 (more specifically, the portion located in front of the wearer's left chest) via tape 62 (see FIG. 3). More specifically, the tape 62 is folded in three in a Z-shape, similar to the tape 71 (see FIG. 6). The folded tape 62 is arranged so that one end faces the open end side of the left front body 13 and the other end faces the left sleeve 21, and the middle part is sewn to the fabric 11 on the back side of the left front body 13.

[0039] The folded tape 62 is divided in two in the longitudinal direction by an area (hereinafter referred to as "fixed portion 62a") that is sewn to the fabric 11. Of these areas, the area on the left sleeve 21 side has the snap button 42 (i.e., the rivet 42a and the recessed portion 42b) attached thereto, and is hereinafter referred to as "attachment portion 62b." The area on the open end side of the left front body 13 is an area that is assumed to be pinched when the user handles the snap button 42, and is hereinafter referred to as "clamping portion 62c." For this reason, when the flaps 16 are in a closed state, the clamping portion 62c of the tape 62 is closer to the opening and closing ends of the flaps 16 than the attachment portion 62b.

[0040] On the other hand, snap button 52 is provided on the front surface side of fabric 11 of right front body 14 (more specifically, the portion located in front of the wearer's left chest) via tape 72 (see FIG. 3). More specifically, tape 72 is also folded in three in a Z-shape, similar to tapes 62 and 71 (see FIG. 6). One end of tape 72 folded in three faces the wearer's left shoulder (i.e., the open end side of right front body 14) and the other end faces the wearer's right hip, and the middle part is sewn to fabric 11 on the front surface side of right front body 14.

[0041] The folded tape 72 is divided in two in the longitudinal direction by an area (hereinafter referred to as "fixed portion 72a") that is sewn to the fabric 11. Of these areas, the area toward the wearer's left shoulder has a snap button 52 (i.e., rivet 52a and protruding member 52b) attached thereto, and is hereinafter referred to as "attachment portion 72b." The area toward the wearer's right hip is an area that is assumed to be held by the user, and is hereinafter referred to as "holding portion 72c." For this reason, when the mating portion 16 is in a closed state, the holding portion 72c of the tape 72 is closer to the opening and closing end of the mating portion 16 than the attachment portion 72b.

[0042] When the pair of snap buttons 42, 52 are joined, the clasp 16 can be fastened in a closed state. When the pair of snap buttons 42, 52 are joined, the pair of clamping parts 62c, 72c face each other. When the clasp 16 is closed, each clamping part 62c, 72c is covered by the left front body 13. However, each tape 62, 72 is provided so that the end of each clamping part 62c, 72c is close to the opening end of the clasp 16 when the clasp 16 is closed. Therefore, when the user turns over the left front body 13, each clamping part 62c, 72c is exposed to the surface side of the baby clothes 10 first.

[0043] Furthermore, the length dimension L3 of the clamping portion 62c is 7 mm. The length dimension L4 of the clamping portion 72c is 19 mm. A distance D2 is formed between the tip of the clamping portion 62c and the tip of the clamping portion 72c. The distance D2 is 12 mm.

[0044] Next, the mounting structure of the snap buttons 43, 53 that fasten the left and right front body panels 13, 14 together in front of the wearer's right abdominal region will be described. The snap buttons 43, 53 are provided as auxiliary means to prevent a portion of the left front body panel 13 from sagging when worn. Note that the mounting structure of the snap button 43 is the same as that of the snap button 41, and the mounting structure of the snap button 53 is the same as that of the snap button 52, so they will only be briefly described.

[0045] The snap button 43 is attached to the first binder 32a (specifically, the portion located in front of the wearer's right abdomen) via the folded tape 63 (see FIG. 1). The folded tape 63 is sewn to the first binder 32a at the portion where it overlaps with the first binder 32a, and the snap button 43 is attached to it. Hereinafter, the area of ​​the folded tape 63 that is sewn to the first binder 32a is referred to as the "fixed portion 63a," and the area where the snap button 43 is attached is referred to as the "attachment portion 63b." The portion of the folded tape 63 that protrudes from the edge of the left front body 13 is an area for the user to hold, and is referred to as the "holding portion 63c."

[0046] The snap button 53 is provided on the fabric 11 on the surface side of the right front body 14 (more specifically, the portion located in front of the wearer's right abdomen) via a folded tape 73. The folded tape 73 is arranged so that one end faces the wearer's right hip direction and the other end faces the wearer's left chest direction. In this state, the middle part of the folded tape 73 is sewn to the fabric 11. The area of ​​the folded tape 73 that is sewn to the fabric 11 is hereinafter referred to as the "fixed part 73a". The area of ​​the folded tape 73 that is closer to the wearer's left chest side than the fixed part 73a has the snap button 53 attached, and is hereinafter referred to as the "attached part 73b". The area of ​​the folded tape 73 that is closer to the wearer's right hip side than the fixed part 73a is an area for the user to hold, and is hereinafter referred to as the "holding part 73c".

[0047] When the joint 16 is closed and the snap buttons 43, 53 are fastened, the pair of clamping parts 63c, 73c face each other. Each clamping part 63c, 73c protrudes from the joint 16 and is exposed on the front side of the baby clothes 10 (see FIG. 2). At this time, a gap D3 is formed between the tip of the clamping part 63c and the tip of the clamping part 73c. ​​The length dimensions L5, L6 of each of the clamping parts 63c, 73c are 10 mm and 14 mm, respectively. The gap D3 is 14 mm. The fixing part 73a is covered and hidden by the clamping part 63c.

[0048] Here, the length dimension of each clamping portion is set in the range of 5 mm to 20 mm, and preferably in the range of 7 mm to 15 mm. By setting it in the above range, it becomes easier to apply force to the tape when removing the snap button.

[0049] When the snap buttons are joined, the gap between the tip of one clamping part and the tip of the other clamping part is preferably in the range of 12 mm to 15 mm, which makes it easier to separate the clamping parts that face each other.

[0050] The length of the pair of clamping parts that is located on the front side as seen from the wearer should be set so that it can cover and conceal the fixing part of the other tape, thereby preventing the fixing part from being exposed and spoiling the aesthetic look of the baby clothes 10.

[0051] Next, a method for releasing the connection of the snap buttons 41-43, 51-53 attached to the fabric 11 via the tapes 61-63, 71-73 will be illustrated with reference to FIG. 7, taking the snap buttons 41, 51 and the tapes 61, 71 as examples.

[0052] When the snap buttons 41, 51 are in a connected state, the clamping portions 61c, 71c face each other. First, the user clamps the clamping portions 61c, 71c between the thumb and index finger of each hand. At this time, the tips of the index fingers are placed against the rivets 41a, 51a directly or via the fabric 11.

[0053] Then, while trying not to move the positions of the index fingers as much as possible, the clamping portions 61c and 71c are pulled in the direction away from each other. Then, by the principle of leverage, the convex member 51b can be detached from the concave member 41b with little force. This allows the connection between the snap buttons 41 and 51 to be easily released.

[0054] According to the present embodiment described above in detail, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

[0055] (1) Baby clothes 10 are clothes for infants and toddlers that have left and right front body sections 13, 14 and are worn with parts of the left and right front body sections 13, 14 overlapping. Baby clothes 10 are provided with snap buttons 41-43, 51-53 that detachably fasten left and right front body sections 13, 14 together (joint 16). Snap buttons 41-43, 51-53 are attached to left and right front body sections 13, 14 via tapes 61-63, 71-73, respectively. 61-63, 71-73 have clamping portions 61c, 62c, 63c, 71c, 72c, 73c that can be clamped by the user's fingers. Therefore, when releasing the joined state of snap buttons 41-43, 51-53, the user can clamp tapes 61-63, 71-73 with his / her fingers.

[0056] In addition, when the snap buttons 41-43 and 51-53 are joined together in pairs, the clamping parts 61c, 62c, 63c, 71c, 72c, and 73c are in a state where the clamping parts are opposed to each other. Therefore, the user can efficiently apply a force in the separation direction to the snap buttons 41-43 and 51-53 by clamping the clamping parts 61c, 62c, 63c, 71c, 72c, and 73c with each hand and pulling the clamping parts 61c, 62c, 63c, 71c, 72c, and 73c so as to separate them. This allows the snap buttons 41-43 and 51-53 to be easily released from their respective connections.

[0057] (2) The length dimensions L1 to L6 of each of the clamping portions 61c, 62c, 63c, 71c, 72c, and 73c are all in the range of 5 mm to 20 mm, which makes it easier for the user to clamp the clamps 61c, 62c, 63c, 71c, 72c, and 73c.

[0058] (3) When the paired snap buttons 41-43, 51-53 are in a joined state, the paired clamping portions 61c, 62c, 63c, 71c, 72c, 73c protrude from the left front body 13 and are exposed to the outside of the fitting 16. This makes it easier for the user to clamp the clamping portions 61c, 62c, 63c, 71c, 72c, 73c.

[0059] (4) When the snap buttons 41-43 and 51-53 are joined, the tapes 61-63 and 71-73 have gaps D1-D3 between the tips of the clamping portions 61c, 62c, 63c, 71c, 72c, and 73c that face each other. This makes it easier to separate the clamping portions 61c, 62c, 63c, 71c, 72c, and 73c that face each other.

[0060] (5) The distances D1 to D3 are all in the range of 12 mm to 15 mm, which makes it easier to separate the clamping portions 61c, 62c, 63c, 71c, 72c, and 73c that are facing each other.

[0061] (6) In the tapes 62, 71 to 73, the fixing parts 62a, 71a, 72a, 73a are provided between the attachment parts 62b, 71b, 72b, 73b and the clamping parts 62c, 71c, 72c, 73c. ​​With this configuration, even if the user pulls the tapes 62, 71 to 73, the load acting on the fabric 11 to which the tapes 62, 71 to 73 are fixed is relatively small. Therefore, when the joining state of the snap buttons 41 to 43, 51 to 53 is released, damage to the fabric 11 of the baby clothes 10 can be suppressed.

[0062] This makes it possible to fasten tapes, like tapes 62, 72, and 73, to portions of baby clothing 10 that are made of a single piece of fabric 11. In this way, baby clothing 10 has no restrictions on where snap buttons can be placed, allowing for greater freedom in design.

[0063] (7) The back side of fabric 11 of right front body 14 is in direct contact with the wearer's skin. For this reason, it is not preferable for the snap button rivets to be exposed on the back side of fabric 11 of right front body 14. Here, tapes 71-73 are provided such that attachment portions 71b, 72b, 73b are in a state of floating in front of fabric 11 of right front body 14. In other words, snap buttons 51-53 are in a state of floating in front of fabric 11 of right front body 14. This makes it possible to prevent the rivets from directly touching the wearer's skin and impairing the wearing comfort.

[0064] (8) The tape 71 is fixed to the seam between the right sleeve 22 and the right front body 14. At the seam, the fabric 11 of the right sleeve 22 and the fabric 11 of the right front body 14 overlap, making the seam particularly strong. In other words, the fabric 11 of the right sleeve 22 serves as a reinforcing means for reinforcing the fabric 11 of the right front body 14. This more effectively prevents the fabric 11 of the baby clothes 10 from being damaged when the snap buttons 41, 51 are released from their joined state.

[0065] In addition, the tape 71 is divided into two regions in the longitudinal direction by the fixing portion 71a, and the region on the right front body 14 side (left side as seen by the wearer) is the attachment portion 71b, and the region on the right sleeve 22 side (right side as seen by the wearer) is the clamping portion 71c. Here, it is assumed that the positional relationship between the attachment portion 71b and the clamping portion 71c is reversed in the tape 71, that is, the region on the right front body 14 side is the clamping portion 71c, and the region on the right sleeve 22 side is the attachment portion 71b. In this case, if a force is applied to the left front body 13 in the direction of opening the flaps 16 when worn, the tape 71 (attachment portion 71b) may float up following the left front body 13, causing the left front body 13 to turn up slightly. However, according to this embodiment, even if a force is applied to the left front body 13 in a direction that opens the flaps 16 when worn, the tape 71 (the clamping portion 71c) is in a tensioned state, so that the left front body 13 is prevented from turning up. This makes it possible to prevent the flaps 16 from shifting when worn.

[0066] Similarly, with respect to the tape 73, the area to the left of the fixing part 73a as seen from the wearer is the attachment part 73b, and the area to the right of the fixing part 73a as seen from the wearer is the clamping part 73c. ​​This prevents the fitting 16 from slipping when worn.

[0067] (9) Since an infant's skin is sensitive, it is particularly desirable for infant clothing that comes into direct contact with the skin to be less irritating to the skin and comfortable to wear. In the above embodiment, the fabric 11 of the baby clothes 10 is a plain weave that includes organic cotton fibers. This reduces the burden on the infant's skin and greatly improves the wearing comfort. On the other hand, since such a material is delicate, there is a concern that it may be easily damaged by pulling or the like. However, in the above embodiment, the burden on the fabric 11 is reduced when the snap buttons 41-43, 51-53 are released, so that the baby clothes 10 can be prevented from being damaged.

[0068] Second Embodiment Next, a second embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, the baby clothing is embodied as a type of baby clothes 80 that covers only the upper body and is worn by babies as underwear. The following description will focus on the differences from the first embodiment, with reference to Figs. 8 and 9. In the following description, the description of the same configuration as the first embodiment will be appropriately simplified or omitted.

[0069] In the first embodiment, the tape 71 with the snap button 51 was fixed to the seam between the right sleeve 22 and the right front body 14. However, the position where the tape 71 is fixed to the baby clothes 10 does not have to be the seam between the right sleeve 22 and the right front body 14. For this reason, in the baby clothes 80, the tape 71 is sewn to a portion of the right front body 14 that is made of a single piece of fabric 11.

[0070] If tape 71 is fixed to the sewing position of right sleeve 22 and right front body 14, it is necessary to simultaneously fix tape 71 and sew together fabric 11. However, if tape 71 is fixed to a portion consisting of one piece of fabric 11, tape 71 can be additionally fixed after the sewing of baby clothes 80 as a whole is completed. In other words, there are fewer restrictions on the work procedures when manufacturing baby clothes 80, and baby clothes 80 can be manufactured efficiently.

[0071] In the first embodiment, the snap button 42 is attached to the tape 62 folded in three. The tape 62 folded in three has a fixed middle part and is sewn to a part consisting of one piece of fabric 11 on the back side of the left front body 13. However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. For this reason, in the baby clothes 80, the tape 62 is folded in two. One end of the tape 62 folded in two (more specifically, the part where both ends before folding in two overlap) is sewn to the sewing part between the left sleeve 21 and the left front body 13 with the sewing thread 39. The tape 62 folded in two has the snap button 42 attached to its middle part, and the part on the free end side of the snap button 42 is the clamping part 62c. That is, in the tape 62, the attachment part 62b is between the fixing part 62a and the clamping part 62c.

[0072] In the case of a tape, if the attachment portion is between the clamping portion and the fixed portion, a large load is likely to act on the fixed end of the tape when the tape is pulled. However, in the baby clothes 80, the fixed end of the tape 62 is the seam between the left sleeve portion 21 and the left front body 13. At the seam between the left sleeve portion 21 and the left front body 13, the fabric 11 of the left sleeve portion 21 and the fabric 11 of the left front body 13 are overlapped, and the strength is relatively high. In other words, the fabric 11 of the left sleeve portion 21 serves as a reinforcing means for reinforcing the fabric 11 of the left front body 13. This prevents the fabric 11 to which the tape 62 is fixed from being damaged when the tape 62 is pulled.

[0073] In the first embodiment, the snap buttons 41, 43 are attached so as to sandwich the tapes 61, 63 and the first binder 32a. However, it is not necessary that the snap buttons 41, 43 are attached so as to sandwich the first binder 32a.

[0074] In baby clothes 80, tape 61 has a middle portion sewn to first binder 32a with sewing thread 36. That is, tape 61 has a fixed portion 61a formed in the middle portion, and is longitudinally divided into two by fixed portion 61a. One of the two divided regions protrudes from left front body 13 and serves as clamping portion 61c. The other region protrudes from first binder 32a and is in direct contact with fabric 11 of left front body 13. Snap button 41 is attached so as to clamp tape 61 and fabric 11 of left front body 13, serving as attachment portion 61b.

[0075] As in the first embodiment, one end of the tape 63 is fixed to the first binder 32a, and the other end protrudes from the left front body 13. However, unlike the above embodiment, the snap button 43 is attached to the area of ​​the tape 63 protruding from the left front body 13. Of the area of ​​the tape 63 protruding from the left front body 13, the area closer to the free end than the snap button 43 is the area for the user to hold with their fingers. In other words, the tape 63 has a fixed portion 63a in the area overlapping with the first binder 32a, and an attachment portion 63b and a clamping portion 63c in the area protruding from the left front body 13.

[0076] In the tape 63, the attachment portion 63b is provided between the fixing portion 63a and the clamping portion 63c, so when the tape 63 is pulled, a load is likely to act on the fixed destination of the tape 63. However, in the baby clothes 80, the fixed destination of the tape 63 is the first binder 32a, which has a sufficiently high strength against pulling. In other words, the first binder 32a corresponds to a reinforcing means that reinforces the fabric 11 of the left front body 13. This prevents the fabric 11 from being damaged when the tape 63 is pulled.

[0077] The snap button 53 and tape 73 have an attachment structure that is generally similar to that of the first embodiment described above, however, the position of the tape 73 is adjusted so that the clamping portion 73c and the clamping portion 63c face each other properly when the snap button 53 and the snap button 43 are joined.

[0078] In the first embodiment, the width of the first binder 32 is set to be slightly larger than the diameter of the snap buttons 41, 43. However, if there are no snap buttons attached to sandwich the first binder 32, the width of the first binder 32 may be smaller than the diameter of the snap buttons. For this reason, the width of the first binder 32 in the baby clothes 80 is smaller than the diameter of the snap buttons 41, 43.

[0079] In the first embodiment, the width dimension of the first binder 32 was relatively large, and there was concern that the first binder 32 would cause stiffness. For this reason, a stretchable cut-and-sew material was used as the material for the first binder 32 to reduce stiffness. However, in the baby clothes 80, the width dimension of the first binder 32 is made smaller, thereby reducing stiffness.

[0080] Furthermore, when the width dimension of the first binder 32 is made smaller, the first binder 32 is less likely to become stiff, and the options for the material of the first binder 32 are wider. For this reason, in the baby clothes 80, a non-stretchable fabric is used as the material of the first binder 32. In addition, the non-stretchable fabric is less expensive than a stretchable cut-and-sewn material. This allows the manufacturing cost of the baby clothes 80 to be reduced.

[0081] Other Embodiments The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be implemented, for example, as follows.

[0082] (a) The infant clothing is not limited to the infant underwear exemplified in each of the above embodiments. For example, vests, sleepers, bibs, etc. are also envisioned, and any infant clothing that is used with parts of the fabric overlapping may be used.

[0083] (b) The material of the baby clothes is not particularly limited. However, for clothes worn by babies as underwear, it is preferable to use a material that is as gentle on the skin as possible. With the baby clothes of the above-mentioned embodiments, the load on the clothes when the snap buttons are removed is reduced. This allows even relatively delicate materials to be used as the material for the baby clothes.

[0084] (c) In the above embodiments, the tapes 61-63, 71-73 are made of synthetic fibers and have a higher tensile strength than the fabric 11, but this is not limited thereto. For example, the tapes may be made of cotton, and there are no limitations on the material and tensile strength of the tapes as long as the user can release the snap buttons while holding the clamping portion.

[0085] (d) In the above embodiments, the first binder 32a and the left and right sleeves 21, 22 function as reinforcing means, but reinforcing means are not limited to this. For example, a patch may be provided to reinforce the fabric 11 to which the tape is fixed. However, there is a risk that the patch may cause stiffness. For this reason, it is preferable to avoid using additional patch cloth as much as possible and to utilize the areas of the baby clothes 10, 80 themselves that have high strength as the areas to which the tape is fixed.

[0086] (e) In the above embodiments, when the snap buttons are joined, the gaps D1 to D3 are formed between the tip of one clamping part and the tip of the other clamping part, but it is not essential that the gaps D1 to D3 are formed. However, if the gaps D1 to D3 are formed, it is convenient in that it becomes easier to separate the pair of clamping parts. [Explanation of symbols]
