Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a two-piece kimono bottom garment. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, two-piece kimonos have been developed as kimonos that can be easily worn by one person. However, two-piece kimonos are not only required to be easy to wear, but also to look beautiful, just like one-piece kimonos.

[0003] For example, the two-piece kimono described in Patent Document 1 is configured to allow for the formation of a folded section (so-called ohashiori) formed on the lower chest area. As a result, the two-piece kimono disclosed in Patent Document 1 is said to have the effect of being indistinguishable from a conventional one-piece kimono when worn, and also being easy to put on.

[0004] Two-piece kimonos have also been developed to be easily wearable by people with walking difficulties, for example. For example, Patent Document 2 discloses an invention for a kimono set for wheelchair users. This kimono set includes a top and bottom garments formed by cutting a kimono into a predetermined shape. The bottom garment has a stretchable rubber member around the circumference of the opening on the waist side. The right lower hem of the bottom garment is sewn closed inside the left hem to prevent the hem from spreading even if the wearer's legs move widely. However, sewn hems, like those disclosed in Patent Document 2, can be difficult to wear for some wearers, such as those with walking difficulties. Another problem is that sewn hems limit the range of leg movement.

[0005] By the way, if the bottoms of pants are not sewn closed, when you sit on a low chair, your hips will drop and the bottoms will spread out. Furthermore, if you sit for a long time in a wheelchair, the spread will become even larger. This causes the problem of your legs spilling out from the bottom hem. Also, if the bottom hem is not sewn closed, there is the problem that the bottom front of the hem will spill out from the top front. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0020] [Figure 1] 1 is a schematic front view of a two-piece kimono lower garment according to one embodiment of the present invention; [Figure 2] 2 is a schematic rear view of the lower garment shown in FIG. 1. [Figure 3] FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the dart portion shown in FIG. 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0021] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the lower garment of a two-piece kimono of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The two-piece kimono of this embodiment is a two-piece kimono for formal attire, but the two-piece kimono of the present invention is not limited to this.

[0022] FIG. 1 is a schematic front view of a two-piece kimono lower garment 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as "lower garment 1") according to this embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a schematic back view of the lower garment 1. In FIGS. 1 and 2, double-headed arrows X indicate the left-right direction, and double-headed arrows Z indicate the up-down direction. In these figures, the pattern of the lower garment 1 has been omitted for the purpose of explaining the present invention. The lower garment 1 according to the present invention is not particularly limited in terms of whether or not it has a pattern, or the design of the pattern.

[0023] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the lower garment 1 is formed in a generally rectangular shape that is long in the left-right direction. The lower garment 1 comprises a lower garment main body 2 and a waist section 4. The lower garment main body 2 has a left collar 21, a left front body section 22, a left back body section 23, a right back body section 24, a right front body section 25, a right collar 26, darts 27, and additional fabric 28. Although not shown in the figures, the lower garment main body 2 may further have a lining and a lining.

[0024] The left collar 21, left front body 22, left back body 23, right back body 24, right front body 25, right collar 26, additional cloth 28, and waist section 4 are formed from the same fabric. However, this is merely an example, and the fabric of the additional cloth 28 and waist section 4 may be different from the fabric of the other sections. The fabric of the left collar 21, left front body 22, left back body 23, right back body 24, right front body 25, right collar 26, additional cloth 28, and waist section 4 may be made from fabric such as silk, cotton, polyester, linen, etc., and is not particularly limited.

[0025] The "under-front" of the present invention is composed of a right front body 25, a right collar 26, and an additional piece of fabric 28 that extends continuously to the right from the right collar 26. However, the under-front of the present invention may also be composed of, for example, a single piece of continuous fabric.

[0026] The left collar 21, left front body 22, left back body 23, right back body 24, right front body 25, right collar 26 and additional fabric 28 are each made up of a substantially rectangular piece of fabric.

[0027] The left and right collars 21 and 26 are each formed with a length of approximately 150 mm from side to side and a length of approximately 1050 mm from top to bottom.

[0028] The left front body 22 and the right front body 25 are each formed to have a left-to-right length of approximately 270 mm and a top-to-bottom length of approximately 1050 mm.

[0029] The left and right rear body sections 23 and 24 are each formed to have a left-to-right length of approximately 280 mm and a top-to-bottom length of approximately 1050 mm.

[0030] The left collar 21, left front body 22, left back body 23, right back body 24, right front body 25 and right collar 26 are each sewn together to form a rectangle.

[0031] The dart 27 is formed at a position above the vertical center, extending from the right end of the right collar 26 to the center of the right front body 25. The left-right length of the dart 27 is 100 mm to 350 mm, preferably 200 mm to 350 mm. Because the left-right length of the dart 27 is long, wrinkles and stiffness are less likely to form on the right collar 26 and right front body 25.

[0032] In this embodiment, the darts 27 are formed at a position in the vertical direction approximately 200 mm from the upper end of the waist part 4, which will be described later. However, this is merely an example, and the position in the vertical direction of the darts 27 may be, for example, between 100 mm and 250 mm from the upper end of the waist part 4. By arranging the darts 27 in this way, for example, when the kimono is worn, the darts 27 will not overlap the pattern on the upper front part, and the beauty of the pattern will not be impaired.

[0033] 3, the length of the fabric in the vertical direction sewn out by the dart 27 (i.e., Z1*2) is 50 mm to 150 mm. In this embodiment, the length of the dart 27 in the horizontal direction is 310 mm, and the length of the fabric in the vertical direction sewn out is 100 mm.

[0034] 1 and 2, the lower garment 1 has darts 27 that shorten the vertical lengths of the right front body 25 and right collar 26 diagonally toward the right collar 26, thereby shortening the top and hem formed by the right front body 25 and right collar 26 in the diagonal direction. In addition, the three-dimensional shape formed by the darts 27 allows the lower garment 1 to hug the wearer's body lines, just like wearing regular lower garments 1 with a straight hem.

[0035] The additional cloth 28 is made of a substantially rectangular piece of fabric. The additional cloth 28 is formed with a left-to-right length of approximately 330 mm and a top-to-bottom length of approximately 950 mm. The additional cloth 28 is sewn to the right collar 26, which has been shortened by the dart 27, and is formed by continuously extending from the right collar 26 to the right. As a result, the additional cloth 28 is not affected by the dart 27 and is formed flat.

[0036] This also means that the dart 27 extends toward the right back body 24 (i.e., leftward) at a distance of 330 mm from the right end of the lower front piece (i.e., the right end of the additional fabric 28).

[0037] The waist portion 4 has a predetermined length in the vertical direction and extends in the left-right direction. In this embodiment, the waist portion 4 is approximately 50 mm in vertical length and approximately 1740 mm in horizontal length. The waist portion 4 is sewn continuously to the upper end of the lower garment body 2.

[0038] The waist portion 4 has elastic (not shown) extending in the left-right center portion, forming shirring 41. This makes the lower garment 1 easier to put on and allows the waist size to be adjusted within a certain range.

[0039] Furthermore, due to the formation of shirring 41, multiple gathers 29 extending in the vertical direction are formed at the upper ends of the left back body section 23, right back body section 24, and right front body section 25. As a result, the left-right length of the upper side of the lower garment body 2 is shorter than the left-right length of the lower side. This allows the lower garment 1 to further envelop the wearer along the lines of their body.

[0040] Shirring 41 is not formed above the left collar 21, left back body 23, right collar 26, and additional fabric 28. Therefore, after the lower garment 1 is put on, wrinkles due to the gathers 29 are not formed on the front.

[0041] The lower garment 1 further comprises a plurality of hook-and-loop fasteners 5, a plurality of first belt loops 6 (three in this embodiment), and a second belt loop 7.

[0042] A plurality of hook-and-loop fasteners 5a (three in this embodiment) are arranged on the outer fabric of the waist portion 4, above the right front body 25, right collar 26, and additional fabric 28, spaced apart from one another in the left-right direction. A plurality of hook-and-loop fasteners 5b (three in this embodiment) are arranged on the lining of the waist portion 4, above the left back body 23, left front body 22, and left collar 21, spaced apart from one another in the left-right direction. The hook-and-loop fasteners 5a on the front side and the hook-and-loop fasteners 5b on the back side are fastened together, overlapping each other, allowing the wearer to easily align the lower garment 1 when putting it on. The number of hook-and-loop fasteners 5 is not particularly limited.

[0043] The first belt loops 6 are provided on the left, right and center of the shirring 41. There is no particular limitation on the number of first belt loops 6. The first belt loops 6 are not provided on the waist part 4 above the left front body part 22. As a result, the left front body part 22 is relatively unaffected by the hook-and-loop fastening when fastened by the hook-and-loop fastening, and therefore the position can be freely adjusted to make the tapered hem and the pattern of the lower garment 1 look beautiful.

[0044] The second belt loop 7 is located at the approximately left end and top end of the left collar 21, extending vertically. The second belt loop 7 has two loops, one above the other. Each loop is designed to accommodate a hook-and-loop belt approximately 50 mm wide. Note that the number of loops and the size of the loops are merely examples and are not limiting.

[0045] The second belt loop 7 is positioned lower than the first belt loop 6, so that when putting on the lower garment 1, passing the hook-and-loop through the first belt loop 6 and the second belt loop 7 lifts the left collar 21, thereby creating a tapered hem. In addition, the second belt loop 7 is made up of two tiers of loops, so the wearer can adjust the degree to which the hem is raised appropriately by passing the hook-and-loop through the loop of the tier of loops that suits their height.

[0046] <How to put on underwear> Next, how to put on the lower garment 1 will be described.

[0047] (1) First, hold the left and right sides of the lower garment 1 with your right and left hands and align them left and right to fit your body type. For example, depending on your body type, you may align it so that the left and right center of the back overlaps with the left and right center of the back (the boundary between the left back garment 23 and the right back garment 24), or you may align it so that the left and right center of the back is around your left hip. If you are a wheelchair user, you should spread the lower garment 1 out on the wheelchair and align it left and right beforehand, and then sit on the lower garment 1 that is spread out on the wheelchair.

[0048] (2) Next, wrap the lower garment 1 around the waist with the additional fabric 28 and right collar 26 facing downwards, and temporarily fasten it using the hook-and-loop fasteners 5. At this time, depending on the body type, all or only some of the hook-and-loop fasteners 5 may be overlapped and fastened. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the upper right edge of the lower garment 1 is lowered by the darts 27, so when the front and back hook-and-loop fasteners 5 are overlapped, the lower front naturally lifts up. This makes it easier to form a tapered hem. Furthermore, the darts 27 allow the left side of the lower front to be raised when worn while sitting in a wheelchair. This prevents the lower front from spilling out from the upper front.

[0049] (3) Next, the Velcro strap is passed through the belt loops to securely fasten the bottom garment 1 around the waist. At this time, the Velcro strap is passed through either the upper or lower belt loop of the second belt loop 7 according to the wearer's height.

[0050] <Effects of the present invention> Next, the effects of the lower garment 1 will be described.

[0051] The second belt loop 7 is positioned lower than the first belt loop 6, so by passing the Velcro through it, the left collar 21 is lifted upward. This causes the right side of the upper front to be lifted upward, and the left side of the lower front to be lifted upward by the hook-and-loop fastening 5, resulting in a more appropriate tapered hem. In addition, the darts lift the lower front while creating a three-dimensional fullness, providing a natural fit similar to that of a kimono without darts.

[0052] Furthermore, by providing the lower garment 1 with darts 27 and additional fabric 28, it is possible to perform the original function of a kimono, which is to wrap around the body, while preventing the legs from spilling out and the hem of the lower garment from spilling out from the upper garment, even when sitting on a low chair such as a wheelchair.

[0053] Furthermore, when a person sits down with their legs apart, with a typical kimono, the edge of the lower front overlaps the left front body 22, creating a step in the left front body 22. This creates a step in the pattern on the left front body 22, or the pattern sinks in, damaging the aesthetic appeal of the pattern. However, the lower garment 1 according to this embodiment is provided with the additional fabric 28, and so even when the person sits down with their legs apart, the support provided by the additional fabric 28 prevents this step from occurring, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the kimono.

[0054] Furthermore, the lower garment 1 is provided with the additional fabric 28, so that it can wrap around the body even of a wearer with a plump figure. Also, if the lower garment 1 is tightly wrapped around the body, it can reduce the tendency for the legs to spread apart when sitting down.

[0055] The above has described the lower garment 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, but the lower garment for a two-piece kimono according to the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the lower garment for a two-piece kimono according to the present invention may be embodied in the following modified examples.

[0056] <Modification> The lower garment 1 may have, for example, a plurality of darts 27. In this case, the lengths of the darts 27 may be different from each other.

[0057] The bottoms 1 may be formed, for example, by cutting the hems of the right front body 25 and right collar 26 diagonally in advance, and by raising the hems of the right front body 25 and right collar 26 upward with darts 27. [Explanation of symbols]
