Dog clothing pattern

Abstract

To provide a pattern for dog clothes of short or middle length, which can be used to make dog clothes that easily fit the body of a dog and are difficult for the dog to take off, even though the dog can easily move its shoulders and front legs freely. [Solution] This is a dog clothing pattern for making short or mid-length dog clothing with raglan sleeves that cover a dog's front legs, and the front and back sides of the sleeve pattern part that form the front and back parts of the raglan sleeve armholes are curved to follow the curvature around the base of the dog's front legs. This makes it possible to create dog clothing that fits easily to the body of a dog (especially a large dog), allowing the dog's shoulders and front legs to move freely, yet is difficult for the dog to take off by itself.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a pattern for dog clothing used when making dog clothing, particularly dog ​​clothing for large dogs. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, an increasing number of owners are considering dressing their dogs in clothing to treat illnesses, injuries, calluses, and other conditions common in large dogs. However, because dogs themselves are not used to wearing clothes, they often dislike the clothing, stiffen up, or tear the clothes they put on them, making it difficult for owners to dress their dogs in expensive dog clothing, which can worsen their illness.

[0003] Therefore, in order to obtain dog clothes at low cost, owners may consider using commercially available dog clothing patterns to sew dog clothes that fit their large dogs just right (for example, Patent Document 1). Generally, a dog clothing pattern has a front body pattern portion, a back body pattern portion, and a pair of left and right sleeve pattern portions. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-58190 DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, most conventional dog clothing patterns are designed to cover the entire body of a pet dog, and although the clothes are handmade, dogs often dislike wearing them because many parts of the body come into contact with the clothes, making it difficult for them to move. In particular, dog clothing sewn using conventional patterns has circular armholes, making it difficult for the shoulders and front legs to move. Therefore, it is considered to use a dog clothing pattern that uses raglan sleeves for the sleeves that cover the shoulders and front legs of large dogs. However, in the raglan sleeve portion of conventional patterns, the back side of the sleeve pattern and the corresponding sleeve side of the back pattern are all straight lines, so even though the sleeves are raglan sleeves, they have difficulty fitting the body of a large dog.

[0006] Therefore, as a result of intensive research, the inventor discovered that all of the above-mentioned problems could be solved by designing a short or mid-length dog clothing pattern that has minimal contact with the body, and the back side of the sleeve pattern part that forms the back part of the raglan sleeve armhole, and the corresponding sleeve side of the back pattern part, in a curved shape that follows the dog's body, and thus completed this invention.

[0007] In other words, the present invention has been made in consideration of these problems, and aims to provide a pattern for dog clothing that is short or medium length and has a small area that comes into contact with the dog's body, so that the dog clothing fits easily to the body of a dog (especially a large dog), and allows the dog's shoulders and front legs to move freely, yet is difficult for the dog to take off by itself. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The invention described in claim 1 is a dog clothing pattern that is short in length, covering less than the front half of the dog's body, or mid-length, covering the dog from the neck to the center of the body or around the waist, and is provided with a front body pattern section, a back body pattern section, and a raglan sleeve pattern section, and is characterized in that the front and back body side edges of the raglan sleeve pattern section are curved to follow the curvature around the base of the dog's front legs.

[0009] The breed and size of the dog to be treated may be any, but the effects of the present invention are best observed in large dogs (Labrador retrievers, boxers, Akita dogs, etc.). Examples of materials that can be used for the pattern include hatron paper, tracing paper, kraft paper, construction paper, graph paper, bleached kraft paper, etc. The size of the pattern may be changed depending on the type and size of the dog. Here, "curving along the curvature of the base of a dog's front legs" means making the front and back body sides of the sleeve pattern part into, for example, an S-curve or an arc-curve.

[0010] The invention described in claim 2 is the dog clothing pattern described in claim 1, characterized in that an arc-shaped cutout that fits around the dog's back is formed at the hem of the back body pattern portion. The key is to create a cutout that fits around the dog's back.

[0011] Furthermore, the invention described in claim 3 is a dog clothing pattern described in claim 1 or claim 2, characterized in that the cuff side portion of the sleeve pattern has multiple slits that serve as guides for changing the sleeve length, each slit parallel to the cuff side edge of the sleeve pattern. The arcuate cutout may have any desired degree of arcuate shape and size. The number of slits (sleeve length adjustment guides) is optional. For example, it may be one, two or more. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] According to the dog clothing pattern of the present invention, the dog clothing pattern is short or medium length, which means that the area that comes into contact with the dog's body is small, so compared to conventional jumpsuit-type clothing, the resulting dog clothing has a smaller contact area with the dog's body and allows the dog to move more easily. As a result, dogs (especially large dogs) are more likely to wear the clothing without hesitation. Furthermore, even if the dog is large, the owner can easily put on and take off the dog clothing.

[0013] In addition, the front and back sides of the sleeve pattern that form the front and back parts of the raglan sleeve armholes are curved to follow the curvature around the base of the dog's front legs, making it possible to create dog clothes that fit easily to the dog's body (especially large dogs), allowing the dog's shoulders and front legs to move freely, yet are difficult for the dog to take off by itself.

[0014] In particular, according to the present invention described in claim 2, an arc-shaped cutout is formed at the hem of the back body pattern portion to fit around the dog's back. Therefore, even though the resulting dog clothes (especially dog ​​clothes for large dogs) are short in length, the back body fits easily around the dog's back and the hem is less likely to roll up when the dog clothes are worn.

[0015] According to the third aspect of the present invention, the cuff side of each sleeve pattern has multiple slits that serve as guides for adjusting the sleeve length, each slit running parallel to the corresponding cuff edge, making it easy to adjust the sleeve length of dog clothes. This makes it possible to create dog clothes with the optimal sleeve length to fit the dog's body. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 6] FIG. 10 is a plan view of a sleeve pattern portion constituting a part of a dog wear pattern according to Example 4 of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail, taking a pattern for dog clothing for Labrador retrievers as an example. [Example]

[0018] As shown in FIG. 1, the dog clothing pattern according to Example 1 of the present invention is for a large dog (Labrador retriever) with a short length that is shorter than the front half of the dog's body, and includes a front body pattern portion 11, a back body pattern portion 12, and a sleeve pattern portion 13 for raglan sleeves.

[0019] These parts will be specifically described below. The front body pattern portion 11 is made by cutting a piece of Hatron paper into a roughly L-shape, and has a short neckline side edge 14 that extends horizontally and forms part of the neckline of the dog clothing, a long hem side edge 15 that extends horizontally and forms part of the hem of the dog clothing, a long, roughly arc-shaped armhole side edge 16 that extends vertically and forms part of the armhole of the dog clothing, a short connecting side edge 50 that extends vertically, and a long front body joining side edge 17 that extends vertically and connects the pair of left and right front body pattern portions 11.

[0020] In addition, the back body pattern portion 12 is made by cutting Hatron paper into a roughly trapezoidal shape, and has a short neckline side edge 18 that extends in an arc shape in the horizontal direction and forms part of the neckline of the dog clothing, a long, arc-shaped hem side edge 19 that forms part of the hem of the dog clothing, a long, roughly arc-shaped armhole side edge 20 that forms part of the armhole of the dog clothing, a short connecting side edge 51 that extends vertically and is opposite the connecting side edge 50, and a long back body joining side edge 21 that extends vertically and is opposite the pair of left and right back body joining sides 21.

[0021] Furthermore, the sleeve pattern portion 13 is cut from Hatron paper and has a short, arc-shaped front armhole side edge (front body side edge) 22 which forms part of the front armhole of the dog clothing, a short sleeve cap side edge 23 which extends in an approximately arc shape and forms the sleeve cap (neckline side edge) of the dog clothing, a long back armhole side edge (back body side edge) 24 which extends in a gentle S-curve to follow the curvature around the base of the dog's front legs and forms part of the back armhole of the dog clothing, a long, gently arc-shaped cuff side edge 25 which forms part of the cuff of the dog clothing, a long sleeve joint side edge 26 which extends in an approximately vertical direction, and another long sleeve joint side edge 27 which extends in an approximately vertical direction.

[0022] Next, a method of using the dog clothing pattern 10 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in Fig. 1, first, a front body pattern section 11, a back body pattern section 12, and a sleeve pattern section 13 are used to mark a fabric for making a dog clothing pattern 10. Then, the marked fabric is cut along each of the patterns 11 to 13 to obtain left and right front bodies, left and right back bodies, and left and right raglan sleeve sleeves (not shown).

[0023] Next, the cut pieces of fabric are sewn together in a predetermined order. Specifically, the left and right front bodies are joined by machine sewing together the corresponding parts of the front body joining edges 17, and the left and right back bodies are joined by machine sewing together the corresponding parts of the back body joining edges 21. Furthermore, in the sleeves for the left and right raglan sleeves, the corresponding parts of the sleeve joining side edge 26 and the corresponding parts of the sleeve joining side edge 27 are sewn by a sewing machine, respectively, to create a pair of tubular left and right raglan sleeves.

[0024] Then, the corresponding parts of the front armhole side edges 22 of each sleeve are machine sewn to the corresponding parts of the armhole side edges 16 of each front body, while the corresponding parts of the back armhole side edges 24 of each sleeve are machine sewn to the corresponding parts of the armhole side edges 20 of each back body. In this way, short dog clothes 50 for Labrador retrievers are completed (see Figure 2).

[0025] As such, because the short-length dog clothing pattern 10 is suitable for large dogs (Labrador Retrievers) with a small contact area, the resulting dog clothing has a smaller contact area with the Labrador Retriever's body than conventional jumpsuits, allowing it to move more easily. This increases the frequency with which Labrador Retrievers will wear the clothing without hesitation. Furthermore, even for large dogs, owners can easily put on and take off the dog clothing 50.

[0026] Furthermore, the front armhole side edges 22 and the back armhole side edges 24 of the sleeve pattern portion 13 that form the front and back portions of the raglan sleeve armholes are curved to follow the curvature around the base of the dog's front legs, so that dog clothing 50 can be created that fits the Labrador retriever's body easily, allows the dog's shoulders and front legs to move freely, yet is difficult for the dog to take off by itself.

[0027] Next, a pattern for dog clothes according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in Figure 3, the dog clothing pattern 10A of Example 2 of the present invention is characterized in that, compared to the back body pattern 12 of Example 1, which has a short back body seam 21, the back body pattern 12A of Example 2 has a longer back body seam 21 and, as a result, the hem side 19 also bulges outward (downward in Figure 3). Figure 4 shows a mid-length dog clothing 50A obtained from the dog clothing pattern 10A. Other configurations, actions, and effects can be inferred from the first embodiment, and therefore will not be described here.

[0028] Next, a pattern for dog clothing according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in Figure 5(a), the short-length dog clothing pattern 10B of Example 3 of the present invention is characterized in that an arc-shaped cutout portion a that fits around the dog's back is formed on the hem side edge 19B of the back body pattern portion 12B (see also Figure 5(b)).

[0029] In this way, by forming an arc-shaped cutout a at the hem of back body pattern portion 12B so that it fits around the dog's back, the resulting short-length dog clothing for Labrador retrievers has an even shorter back body 60, which improves comfort, yet the back body 60 fits easily around the dog's back. Moreover, by forming this arc-shaped cutout a, when a Labrador retriever wears the dog clothing, a gentle arc-shaped depression b is formed in the middle area of ​​the length of hem 61 in a plan view. This makes it difficult for hem 61 of back body 60 to roll up.

[0030] Similarly, an arc-shaped cutout (not shown) that fits around the dog's chest may be formed on the hem side 15 of the front body pattern portion 11. This makes the resulting short-length dog clothing even shorter, improving the fit on the dog, while also making the front body fit better around the dog's chest and preventing the hem of the front body from rolling up. Other configurations, actions, and effects can be inferred from the first embodiment, and therefore will not be described here.

[0031] Next, a pattern for dog clothing according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in Figure 6, the feature of the dog clothing pattern 10C of Example 4 of the present invention is that five long slits S, which serve as guides for changing the sleeve length, are formed in the cuff side part of the sleeve pattern section 13C, each parallel to the cuff side edge (cuff) 25C.

[0032] In this way, five slits S, which act as guides for changing the sleeve length, are formed parallel to the cuff side edges 25C on the cuff side of the sleeve pattern section 13C, allowing the desired sleeve length to be marked on the fabric. As a result, the shape of the part where the sleeve is sewn to the body remains unchanged, and the cuff line can be adjusted to the desired length to create dog clothes.

[0033] In addition, 63 in FIG. 6 is a virtual ruler that makes it possible to see the existence of the five slits S at a glance. Other configurations, actions, and effects can be inferred from the first embodiment, and therefore will not be described here. [Industrial Applicability]

[0034] This invention is useful as a technique for creating patterns for dog clothing to be used when making dog clothing. [Explanation of symbols]
