FIGS. 7 and 8 are diagrams illustrating the tightening state of the tightening line according to the opening and closing operation of the zipper structure of the present invention. Specific details for implementing the invention

[0017] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be examined in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0018] Embodiments of the present invention may be modified in various forms, and the scope of the present invention should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments described in detail below. These embodiments are provided to more fully explain the present invention to those with average knowledge in the art.

[0019] Accordingly, the shapes of components depicted in the drawings may be exaggerated to emphasize clearer explanations. It should be noted that identical components may be illustrated with the same reference numerals in each drawing. Furthermore, detailed descriptions of functions and configurations of known technology that are deemed to unnecessarily obscure the essence of the invention may be omitted.

[0020] First, the structure of a garment equipped with a zipper structure having an improved tightening function according to one embodiment of the present invention is as follows through FIGS. 1 to 6.

[0021] In the present embodiment, the zipper structure (100) is configured such that two tape portions (10, 20) are formed in pairs and fixed to a garment (100) in the form of a jumper, and zipper teeth (30) are provided on mutually opposing portions of the tape portions (10, 20) so as to interlock with each other, and the zipper is configured such that opening and closing occurs as a slider (40) moves along the zipper teeth (30).

[0022] At this time, a tightening wire (50) is movably provided on the inner side of the tape portion (10, 20), and the tightening wire (50) is connected to a slider (40), and the tightening wire (50) is extended on one side of the garment to perform tightening and loosening functions for two tightening portions (a, b).

[0023] At this time, the tape portion (10, 20) is provided with a flat guide flat line (60) connected to a tightening wire (50), and the slider (40) is configured with a connecting flat line (70) connected to the guide flat line (60).

[0024] In addition, the tightening wire (50), guide flat line (60), and connecting flat line (70) form an integrated structure that allows for mutual movement, and the tape portion (10, 20) has a guide groove (11, 21) formed therein to guide the movement of the tightening wire (50), guide flat line (60), and connecting flat line (70).

[0025] Additionally, it is preferable that the tightening wire (50) and the guide flat line (60) be provided on the inner side of the zipper teeth (30) to prevent external exposure. However, if necessary, the guide flat line (60) may be partially exposed in the guide grooves (11, 21), and in this case, the operating status can be easily visually checked by assigning a color to the guide flat line (60).

[0026] In addition, it can be seen through FIG. 5 that the inner side of both tape sections (10, 20) is integrally equipped with a detachment prevention section (12, 22) having a circular cross-sectional shape to prevent the zipper teeth (30) from detaching and to allow the tightening wire (50) to be inserted.

[0027] Meanwhile, one end of each of the two tightening wires (50) is provided to extend in a shape that wraps around a specific part of the garment (100), such as the shoulder area or the wrist area.

[0028] Unexplained symbol 41 in the drawing indicates a handle connected to easily move the slider (40).

[0029] Let us examine the effects of the zipper structure (100) of the present invention that forms such a configuration.

[0030] The zipper structure (100) of the present invention can perform tightening and loosening operations on specific parts, such as the shoulder area of ​​a jumper, through opening and closing operations of the zipper as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.

[0031] That is, when the slider (40) is moved using the handle (41), the opening and closing operation of the zipper teeth (30) is performed. At this time, when the slider (40) is moved in the direction of closing the zipper, the tightening wire (50), which is connected to the tape sections (10, 20) on both sides through the connecting flat line (70), moves together, and as a pulling force is applied to the tightening wire (50) as shown in FIG. 8, the tightening function is performed on the tightening sections (a, b) of the wrist and ankle areas.

[0032] In particular, since the tape section (10, 20) has a structure in which a guide flat line (60) is movably connected to a slider (40) through a connecting flat line (70), the tightening wire (50) can be easily moved in the pulling direction.

[0033] Additionally, the connecting flat line (70) prevents internal compression of the zipper teeth (30) and damage or blockage of the movement space by the flat line (60, 70) when moving inside the zipper, and when the tightening wire (50) is pulled in and then released back out, the guide flat line (60) connected to the wire performs the function of pushing the tightening wire (50) outward.

[0034] Meanwhile, if you want to release the tightness, move the slider (40) back to its original position in the direction the zipper opens, and the tightening wire (50) is released, thereby releasing the tightness caused by the wire and making it easy to take off the clothing.

[0035] Accordingly, the garment equipped with the zipper structure of the present invention enables a tightening function on specific parts of the garment (ankle, wrist, shoulder, waist, etc.) through the opening and closing operation of the zipper slider, thereby enabling a stable wearing state of the garment.

[0037] Furthermore, although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described and illustrated above, it is obvious that the application structure of the tightening zipper structure of the present invention can be implemented with various modifications by those skilled in the art.

[0038] For example, in the above embodiment, a zipper structure was described as being applied to a top jumper, but as needed, it can be applied to various types of clothing such as bottoms, pants, hats, shoes, gloves, etc.

[0039] Therefore, such modified embodiments should not be understood separately from the technical spirit or scope of the present invention, and such modified embodiments should be considered to be included within the appended claims of the present invention. Explanation of the symbols
