Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a uniform for business use. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, there has been a trend toward uniforms for medical personnel that do not have a collar, which is formed by folding back a piece of fabric attached around the neck, as disclosed in Patent Document 1. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Design Registration No. 1549175 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Medical professionals often work with a strap attached to a mobile phone around their neck. If the uniform has a collar formed by folding back fabric attached around the neck, the strap can be tucked between the overlapping folded fabric, preventing it from touching the nape of the neck. However, if a uniform without a collar, such as that described in Patent Document 1, is worn with a strap attached to a mobile phone around the neck, the strap may come into direct contact with the nape of the neck, causing discomfort to the wearer. In this case, if the wearer's neck is sweaty, the sweat may be absorbed by the strap, creating hygiene issues.

[0005] In view of the above circumstances, at least one embodiment of the present disclosure aims to provide a business uniform that prevents the strap from directly touching the nape of the neck even when the strap is worn around the neck. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A business uniform according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure is a business uniform having a front body and a back body, and a tab provided around the neck of the back body, the tab being positioned on the neck side in the length direction of the business uniform and including an upper edge portion configured to extend in the shoulder width direction of the business uniform, and the tab being configured to overlap the back body and extend along the upper edge portion. only Around the neck Sewn along the Fixed 、 The tab is configured so that the length of the upper edge is longer than the longest length of the tab in the length direction of the business uniform. The trapezoidal shape is configured such that the length in the shoulder width direction decreases from the upper edge toward the lower part in the length direction. . [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, even if the strap moves toward the nape of the neck when it is hung around the neck, the strap slips in between the tab and the back body and gets caught on the fixed part of the upper edge of the tab relative to the back body, so that even when the strap is hung around the neck, the strap can be prevented from directly touching the nape of the collar. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0008] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a front view of a business uniform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. [Figure 2] FIG. 1 is a rear view of a business uniform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. [Figure 3] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the neck area of the back of a business uniform according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. [Figure 4] 10 is a diagram illustrating the principle by which the straps can be prevented from touching the nape of the neck in a business uniform according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. [Figure 5] 10A to 10D are diagrams showing various forms of tabs provided around the neck of the back of a business uniform according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Hereinafter, several embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. The dimensions, materials, shapes, relative positions, etc. of the components described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention thereto.

[0010] A work uniform according to one embodiment of the present disclosure will be described using the example of a uniform worn by medical professionals such as nurses and laboratory technicians, but the features of the present disclosure described below can also be applied to uniforms other than those worn by medical professionals.

[0011] Figure 1 shows the front body 2 side of a uniform 1 worn by a medical worker. The front body 2 is separated lengthwise into a right portion 2a and a left portion 2b at a position shifted to the left from the center in the shoulder width direction, and the right portion 2a and the left portion 2b can be connected or separated by a zipper or the like (not shown).

[0012] As an example, the front body 2 of the uniform 1 has three pockets 11, 12, and 13, but the number of pockets may be arbitrary, and even no pockets may be provided. Also, the uniform 1 has short sleeves, but may have long sleeves.

[0013] Figure 2 shows the back body 3 side of the uniform 1. Referring to both Figures 1 and 2, a collar 5 is provided along the neck 4 of the uniform 1. The collar 5 is not constructed by folding back the fabric that forms the collar 5, but rather a strip of fabric is sewn to the front body 2 and the back body 3 along the neck 4.

[0014] As shown in Figure 3, a trapezoidal tab 20 is provided around the neck 4 of the back body 3. The tab 20 is located on the neck 4 side in the length direction of the uniform 1 and includes an upper edge 20a configured to extend in the shoulder width direction of the uniform 1. The tab 20 is provided around the neck 4 of the back body 3 so that the upper edge 20a is sandwiched and sewn between the collar 5 and the neck 4 of the back body 3 at the sewn portion of the collar 5 along the neck 4. Therefore, the tab 20 overlaps the back body 3.

[0015] Medical professionals often work with a strap attached to a mobile phone around their neck. As shown in Figure 4, with uniform 1, even if strap 15 worn around the neck moves toward the nape of the collar, strap 15 slips between tab 20 and back body 3 and gets caught on the portion of upper edge 20a of tab 20 fixed to back body 3, preventing strap 15 from directly touching the nape of the collar.

[0016] However, if the mobile phone attached to the strap 15 is pulled downwards with force, the strap 15 around the neck is pulled towards the nape of the collar, which may cause the tab 20 to flip up and the strap 15 to pass over the tab 20 and reach the nape of the collar. max If the strap 15 is configured to be longer than the tab 20, the force required to turn up the tab 20 can be made larger than that of a garment without such a configuration, making it difficult for the tab 20 to be turned up and reducing the risk of the strap 15 reaching the nape of the neck.

[0017] Furthermore, since the tab 20 is very small compared to the back body 3, it is difficult for others to notice it. Furthermore, if the wearer of the uniform 1 has long hair, the tab 20 may be hidden by the hair and may not be visible to others. In other words, even if such a tab 20 is provided around the neck 4 of the back body 3, the appearance of the uniform 1 is hardly impaired.

[0018] Alternatively, or in addition to this configuration, the tab 20 can be configured so that the length in the shoulder width direction of the uniform 1 decreases from the upper edge 20a in the length direction, thereby making it even more difficult to roll up the tab 20. As an example of such a configuration, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the tab 20 can be configured to have a trapezoidal shape with a lower base shorter than an upper base.

[0019] In addition to the form of the tab 20 configured as described above being illustrated in (a) of Figure 5, various modified shapes of the tab 20 are also illustrated in (b) through (n). The tab 20 may have shapes other than those illustrated in (a) through (n). Note that the tabs illustrated in (b) through (n) include shapes that are not designed to make it difficult to turn up, but all of these tabs have the effect of preventing the strap from touching the nape of the neck compared to when no tab is provided.
