[0001] The present invention relates to fabric products. [Background technology]

[0002] The length of clothing such as trousers and jackets can be changed by sewing with a sewing machine or the like. However, once sewing with a sewing machine or the like is done, it is difficult to change the length again. Therefore, when it is necessary to change the length again, it is common practice to roll up the hems, etc., which makes it easy to change the length and then easily readjust the length. This method makes it possible to maintain the length in an adjustable state (hereinafter, "adjustment").

[0003] However, when adjusting the length by rolling up the pants, it is difficult to ensure that the length is exactly the same on both sides.In addition, it is difficult to stably maintain the adjusted length by rolling up the pants, which has led to problems such as the rolled up parts coming undone and becoming misaligned over time.

[0004] To solve the above problems, Patent Document 1 discloses a garment with snap buttons on the inside of the hem. Specifically, a male snap button is provided near the hem opening, and a number of corresponding female snap buttons are provided in succession along the inside of the hem in the direction of the hem length. The wearer of the garment can adjust the hem length as needed by selecting the position to fasten the snap button. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] Hereinafter, a garment as one embodiment of the fabric product according to the present invention will be described.

[0017] In this specification, the term "downward" refers to the direction toward the end of the hem, and the term "upward" refers to the opposite. The term "length direction" refers to the direction connecting the above-mentioned "downward" and "upward." The term "width direction" refers to the direction perpendicular to the above-mentioned length direction in a plane parallel to the hem.

[0018] The garment according to the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it has a hem, and includes bottoms such as trousers or pants, tops such as shirts and cut-and-sewn tops, coats, skirts, and various other garments. The hem refers to the crotch part of bottoms, and the sleeve and hem parts of tops. In one embodiment of the present specification, trousers will be used as an example.

[0019] The garment 1 according to this embodiment comprises a fastening part 3 arranged at a hem 2, and a plurality of fastened parts 4 arranged at a predetermined interval above the fastening part 3 in the length direction. The fastening parts 4 are formed smoothly. The fastening part 3 can be fastened to the fastening parts 4.

[0020] The fastening portion 3 may include a pair of snap buttons 30 and a cloth band 31. The pair of snap buttons 30 includes a male snap button 30a and a female snap button 30b. One of the male snap button 30a and the female snap button 30b is disposed at the hem 2, and the other is disposed at one end of the cloth band 31. The other end of the cloth band 31 is disposed at the hem 2 with a predetermined distance in the width direction from the male snap button 30a or the female snap button 30b disposed at the hem 2.

[0021] The garment 1 has a band 5 on the inside of the hem 2. The band 5 forms a plurality of passages by joining the inside of the hem 2 and the band 5 at predetermined intervals. The plurality of engaged parts 4 are made up of the plurality of passages 4. The engaging part 3 is capable of being engaged with the plurality of passages 4.

[0022] The garment 1 according to this embodiment may employ a cloth tape as the belt-shaped body 5. The cloth tape 5 has a sewn portion 50 for joining the cloth tape 5 to the inside of the hem 2, and a non-sewn portion 51 which is a portion of the cloth tape 5 where the sewn portion 50 is not provided. The sewn portion 50 is provided by sewing the cloth tape 5 to a seam allowance portion 7 (described later) at predetermined intervals along the length direction. In other words, the multiple passages 4 are formed between the non-sewn portion 51 and the inside of the hem 2, and between adjacent sewn portions 50.

[0023] The fastening portion 3 can be fastened to one fastened portion selected from the plurality of fastened portions 4 by passing the fabric band 31 through one of the plurality of passages 4 and engaging the snap button (male) 30a and the snap button (female) 30b with each other. By fastening the fastening portion in the above manner, when adjusting the length, the length can be changed by removing the engaged snap button (male) 30a and the snap button (female) 30b, passing the fabric band 31 through another passage, and engaging the snap button (male) 30a and the snap button (female) 30b again.

[0024] The multiple passages 4 may be formed continuously or discontinuously along the length direction. It is preferable that the multiple passages 4 are formed continuously along the length direction. The interval between adjacent sewn portions 50 (hereinafter "interval between each passage") is preferably 10 mm or more, more preferably 15 mm or more, and even more preferably 20 mm or more. The interval between each passage is preferably 35 mm or less, more preferably 30 mm or less, and even more preferably 25 mm or less. By forming the interval between each passage continuously within the above range, it is possible to adjust the length of the garment 1 evenly on the left and right.

[0025] The interval between the passages is configured to be longer than the width of the cloth band 31. The difference between the interval between the passages and the width of the cloth band 31 is preferably 3 mm or more, more preferably 4 mm or more, and more preferably 5 mm or more. The difference between the interval between the passages and the width of the cloth band 31 is preferably 8 mm or less, more preferably 7 mm or less, and even more preferably 6 mm or less. By having the difference between the interval between the passages and the width of the cloth band 31 within the above range, it is possible to prevent wrinkles from occurring in the garment after the length has been adjusted.

[0026] It is preferable that one to five of the band-shaped bodies 5 are arranged at one hem, and it is more preferable that two to four of the band-shaped bodies 5 are arranged at one hem. In the garment according to the present embodiment, the more the number of the cloth tapes 5 arranged, the more stably the adjusted length can be maintained, and the length of the hem of the garment 1 can be adjusted evenly.

[0027] The garment 1 can have, at one hem, the same number of fastening portions 3 as the number of belt-shaped bodies 5. In other words, the garment according to this embodiment can have, at one hem, the same number of pairs of snap buttons 30 and cloth bands 31 as the number of cloth tapes 5.

[0028] The inner surface of the hem 2 has a seam allowance 7 extending in the length direction along a seam 6 where two pieces of fabric are sewn together in the length direction. The seam allowance 7 includes a first seam allowance and a second seam allowance. The first seam allowance and the second seam allowance may be formed diagonally to each other on the inner side of the hem 2. It is preferable that the first seam allowance and the second seam allowance are formed diagonally to each other on the inner side of the hem 2. The first seam allowance and the second seam allowance may be formed opposite each other on the inner side of the hem 2.

[0029] The band 5 includes a first band and a second band. The plurality of fastening parts 4 are formed by joining at least one of the first band and the first seam allowance part and the second band and the second seam allowance part at a predetermined interval along the length direction. It is preferable that the plurality of fastening parts 4 are formed by joining the first band and the first seam allowance part and the second band and the second seam allowance part at a predetermined interval along the length direction.

[0030] In the garment according to this embodiment, the cloth tape 5 includes a first cloth tape and a second cloth tape. The first cloth tape and the first seam allowance, and the second cloth tape and the second seam allowance are joined at predetermined intervals along the length direction, respectively, which increases the number of fastening parts 3 fastened at one hem, making it possible to more stably maintain the adjusted length and to adjust the length of the hem of the garment 1 evenly.

[0031] The seam allowance 7 may include a third seam allowance and a fourth seam allowance formed along the length direction. The first seam allowance, the second seam allowance, the third seam allowance and the fourth seam allowance may be disposed at equal intervals on the inside of the hem 2. The cloth tape 5 may include a third cloth tape and a fourth cloth tape. The third cloth tape and the third seam portion, and the fourth cloth tape and the fourth seam portion may be joined at a predetermined interval along the length direction.

[0032] It is preferable that the width of the cloth tape 5 is the same as the width of the first seam allowance portion (or the second seam allowance portion). By setting the width of the cloth tape 5 in the above-mentioned manner, the stress generated between the cloth tape 5 and the cloth band 31 is dispersed, and the snap button (male) 30a and the snap button (female) 30b that are engaged with each other are less likely to come off. Therefore, the fixing strength when the fastening portion 3 is fastened to the multiple fastened portions 4 is increased, and the adjusted length can be maintained more stably.

[0033] The cloth tape 5 may have a mark for each of the non-sewn portions 51. The mark may indicate the length after the length adjustment in centimeters on the cloth tape 5. By providing the mark on the cloth tape 5, the wearer of the garment can easily visually confirm the adjustment position when adjusting the length, and can easily grasp the length after adjustment.

[0034] The garment 1 according to this embodiment may include an ironing tape that can be attached and removed from the inside of the hem 2. The ironing tape can be attached to the inside of the hem 2 by heating it while in contact with the inside of the hem 2 and then cooling it. The ironing tape can then be reheated at the attachment portion and removed from the inside of the hem 2 before the attachment portion cools. The ironing tape is used to temporarily adhere the folded portion of the hem 2 to the inside of the hem 2 when adjusting the length. By providing the garment 1 with the ironing tape, it becomes possible to very stably maintain the adjusted length and prevent the wearer's feet from getting caught in the folded portion when wearing the garment.

[0035] The fabric product according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

[0036] The material of the cloth tape 5 and the cloth band 31 is not particularly limited, but may be cotton fiber, polyester fiber, acrylic fiber, or nylon fiber.

[0037] The shape of the cloth band 31 is not particularly limited, and may be formed in a rectangular shape, or may be formed in a tapered shape such that the width narrows toward the tip portion of the cloth band 31. By forming the cloth band 31 in the tapered shape, the cloth band 31 can be easily passed through the multiple passages, and the work of adjusting the size can be made easier.

[0038] The method of connecting the cloth tape 5 and the first seam portion (or the second seam portion) is not limited to sewing. For example, the connection may be by adhesion with any adhesive or by welding by heating.

[0039] In the fastening method of this embodiment, the pair of snap buttons and the cloth band are used as the fastening portion 3, but the fastening method of the present invention may also use a hook-and-loop fastener, a shank button, a toggle button, a magnetic hook, a dot button, or a loop button as the fastening portion 3 instead of the pair of snap buttons.

[0040] In the garment 1 of this embodiment, the cloth tape is used as the belt-like body 5, but the garment 1 may also use a flat string, ribbon, or other belt-like cloth as the belt-like body 5 instead of the cloth tape.

[0041] In this embodiment, the length of the garment 1 is adjustable, but the width of the garment 1 may be adjustable. For example, the garment 1 may be adjustable in the width of a top, the width of the waist of a skirt or bottoms, or the size of the circumference of a hat such as a cap.

[0042] In addition, in the present embodiment, the adjustment of the dimensions of clothing is described as an example of a fabric product, but the present invention may be implemented so as to adjust the dimensions of fabric products other than clothing, such as bedding, blankets, curtains, tablecloths, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
