Description

Trouser hem adjuster

[0001] The present invention relates to a trouser hem adjustment device, and more particularly, to a trouser hem adjustment device capable of adjusting the trouser hem without a separate repair.

[0002] Generally, when it comes to clothing, if pants do not fit your body size exactly, it can be uncomfortable to move around in or look unattractive, so after purchasing pants, you end up having them shortened to fit your leg length.

[0003] Accordingly, various methods and devices are being developed and researched to shorten pants to fit the leg length without requiring separate alterations.

[0004] For example, there was a length-adjustable children's pants, patented in Publication No. 10-2394170.

[0005] However, in the case of children's pants with adjustable length, there was a drawback in that the pants became thicker because the pants seat was provided in multiple layers inside the pants to adjust the length, and the part where the pants seat was built in stood out as the pants moved, which detracted from the aesthetic element.

[0006] For the above reasons, we are trying to develop various methods and methods that do not require separate alterations when shortening pants to fit the leg length, but we have not been able to obtain satisfactory results to date.

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a trouser hem adjustment device that can conveniently adjust the length of the trouser hem.

[0008] The trouser leg adjustment device according to the present invention is characterized in that it comprises a trouser leg adjustment member that can be fastened to fit the ankle after adjusting the length of the trouser leg at the lower part of the trouser leg.

[0009] The above-mentioned adjusting member may include a belt loop provided on the lower part of the pants; and a belt fastened to the belt loop and provided on the lower part of the pants in a form that wraps around the ankle.

[0010] The pants may further include a hook provided at regular intervals on the lower part of the pants so that the belt, whose length is adjusted and fastened to the belt hook, can be inserted and hung.

[0011] The above belt may include an adjustment hole that can adjust the length of the belt fastened to the belt loop according to the circumference of the ankle.

[0012] The trouser leg adjustment device according to the present invention can be convenient because it can adjust the length of the trouser leg by folding the trouser leg and then fixing it with an adjustment member, so there is no need for a separate repair process when adjusting the length of the trouser leg.

[0013] Additionally, by adjusting the length of the trouser legs, it can be used as a fashion item to enhance the aesthetics.

[0014] Figure 1 is an exemplary diagram of a trouser hem adjustment device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0015] Figure 2 is a detailed drawing of an adjusting member of a trouser hem adjusting device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0016] FIG. 3 is another exemplary diagram of a trouser hem adjustment device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0017] FIG. 4 is another exemplary diagram of a trouser hem adjustment device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

Furthermore, detailed descriptions of functions and configurations of known technologies that may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention may be omitted.

[0020] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the trouser hem adjusting device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0021] In describing the present invention below, if it is determined that a detailed description of a known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description will be omitted.

[0022] Throughout the specification, when a part is said to "include" a component, this may mean that it may include other components, rather than excluding other components, unless otherwise stated.

[0023] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0024] As illustrated in FIG. 1, the trouser leg adjustment device (A) according to the present invention may be provided with an adjustment member (100) that can be adjusted by folding up the trouser leg (10) and then fastened to fit the ankle, at the lower part of the trouser leg (10).

[0025] In this way, the user can adjust the length of the trouser leg (15) by folding up the lower part of the trouser leg (10), and then fixing the adjusting member (100) to adjust the length of the trouser leg (15) without any separate repair.

[0026] At this time, the adjusting member (100) can be used in various ways to adjust the length of the trouser leg (15), and as an example, a belt loop (120) can be provided at the bottom of the trouser leg (10) as shown in FIG. 2.

[0027] Here, a belt (120) may be included that is fastened to a belt loop (120) and is provided in a form that wraps around the ankle at the lower part of the pants (10).

[0028] At this time, a hook (130) may be further provided at a certain interval on the lower part of the pants (10) so that a belt (120) with an adjusted length can be inserted and placed by being fastened to the belt loop (120).

[0029] Here, the belt (120) may include an adjustment hole (140) that can adjust the length of the belt fastened to the belt loop (120) according to the circumference of the ankle.

[0030] In addition, the adjusting member (100) can function as a fashion item by using various accessories that enhance the aesthetics of the pants (10) in addition to the belt (120) as another example.

[0031]

[0032] The trouser hem adjusting device (A) according to the present invention will be described in detail as follows.

[0033] First, the user can fold the pants (10) and adjust the length of the pants (15) to the desired length.

[0034] Here, when the lower part of the pants (10) is folded, the adjusting member (100) can be exposed to the outside.

[0035] At this time, the adjusting member (100) may be configured as an example with a belt loop (120) at the bottom of the pants (10) and a belt (120) fastened to the belt loop (120).

[0036] Here, the belt (120) is fastened to a belt loop (120) and has an adjustment hole (140) drilled therein that can be adjusted to the diameter of the user's ankle or leg, and the belt loop (120) is fastened to the adjustment hole (140), so that the belt (120) can be adjusted to the diameter of the user's ankle or leg.

[0037] At this time, the belt (120) fastened to the belt loop (120) may need to be tightened or loosened significantly depending on the size of the diameter of the user's ankle or leg.

[0038] Here, the lower part of the pants (10) is provided with a hook (130) so that a belt (120) adjusted to the size of the user's ankle or leg diameter can be inserted and organized.

[0039] At this time, the size of the diameter of the ankle or leg of the user of the hook (130) is thin, so it can be more useful when the belt (120) is tightened a lot.

[0040] In addition, as another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the adjusting member (100) may be composed of an elastic member (150) and an adjusting means (160).

[0041] At this time, an elastic member (150) may be provided at the end of the pants (10).

[0042] Here, the elastic member (150) can be positioned so that the elastic member (150) is not visible between the fabrics during the manufacturing process of the pants (10).

[0043] At this time, the elastic member (150) is connected to an adjustment means (160) provided on the outside of the pants (10) and can be adjusted according to the size of the diameter of the user's ankle or leg by the adjustment means (160).

[0044] More specifically, the user folds the lower part of the pants (10) to adjust the desired length of the pants (15), then presses the adjusting means (160) to tighten the elastic member (150), and then releases the pressing of the adjusting means (160) to fix the elastic member (150) in a tightened state so that it can be adjusted to the diameter of the user's ankle or leg.

[0045] Here, there are various known methods for adjusting or extending the length of the elastic member (150) by pressing the adjusting means (160), so a detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0046] In addition, the elastic member (150) can be made of various materials having elasticity, and as an example, can be a rubber band.

[0047] Here, the adjusting member (100) can be used in various ways other than the method of fastening the belt (120) to the belt loop (120) or adjusting the length of the elastic member (150) with the adjusting means (160).

[0048] In addition, as another example, instead of folding up the bottom of the pants (10) as shown in FIG. 4, the user can pull up the pants (10) to adjust the hem of the pants, and then temporarily fix the belt (120) of the adjusting member (100) by fastening it to the belt loop (120).

[0049] At this time, the control member (100) can be provided and used in a form exposed to the pants (10).

[0050] The present invention as described above is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and thus may be modified within a scope that does not depart from the gist of the present invention as claimed in the claims, and such modifications are within the scope of protection of the present invention defined by the following claims.
