[0035] Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention to specific embodiments, and it should be understood that the present invention encompasses various modifications, equivalents, and / or alternatives of the embodiments.
[0036] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a wearable component having a hole (or loop) formed in a shape corresponding to the shape of the jig using a jig and a thermoplastic yarn, and a method for manufacturing the same. Since bonding around the hole is achieved by heating the jig simultaneously with weaving the yarn, separate bonding or sewing processes for creating the hole are unnecessary, thereby improving process efficiency. Furthermore, by forming the wearable component from a single piece of fabric, the product has high durability and an improved appearance, thereby enhancing design perfection and aesthetics.
[0037] In one embodiment, a method of forming a wearable member (e.g., a wearable member (10) of FIG. 6a) may include a step of arranging warp yarns (e.g., warp yarns (101) of FIG. 1a) and weft yarns (e.g., weft yarns (102) of FIG. 1a) forming a jig (e.g., a jig (200) of FIG. 1a) and a fabric (e.g., a fabric (100) of FIG. 1b), a step of weaving the fabric (100), a step of heating the jig (200) to deform the fabric (100), and a step of separating the jig (200).
[0038] The step of arranging the warp yarn (101) and weft yarn (102) forming the jig (200) and the fabric (100) is described in FIGS. 1A and 1B, and the step of weaving the fabric (100) is described in FIGS. 2A to 2D. The step of heating the jig (200) to deform the fabric (100) is described in FIGS. 3A and 3B, and the step of separating the jig (200) is described in FIG. 4.
[0039] In one embodiment, the wearing member (e.g., the wearing member (10) of FIG. 6A) may include a fabric (e.g., the fabric (100) of FIG. 1B), a fastening member (e.g., the fastening member (400) of FIG. 6A), and a connecting member (e.g., the connecting member (40) of FIG. 7A). The fabric (100) is described below in FIG. 1A, the fastening member (400) is described below in FIGS. 6A to 14C, and the connecting member (40) is described below in FIGS. 7A to 13B.
[0040] FIG. 1a is a drawing for explaining a method of placing a jig according to one embodiment.
[0041] FIG. 1b is a drawing for explaining a method of arranging yarns according to one embodiment.
[0042] Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B, in one embodiment, the fabric (100) (area shown in dotted lines) may be defined as a fiber fabric forming the wearable member (10), and the jig (200) may be defined as a structure inserted (or placed) to form a specific shape during weaving of the fabric (100).
[0043] In one embodiment, a jig (200) may be placed before weaving the fabric (100). The jig (200) may include a plurality of jigs (e.g., a plurality of jigs (201, 202, 203, 204) of FIG. 2B) placed along a first direction (e.g., +x-axis direction) in which the fabric (100) is woven. The plurality of jigs (201, 202, 203, 204) may be placed at a predetermined interval in the first direction. The jig (200) may be extended in a second direction (e.g., +y-axis direction) perpendicular to the first direction. The jig (200) may be formed to have a second direction width that is longer than a second direction width (W1) of the fabric (100). For example, the center of the jig (200) in the second direction may be arranged substantially identically to the center of the fabric (100) in the second direction, and one end of the jig (200) may be positioned away from the fabric (100) in the +y-axis direction, and the other end may be positioned away from the fabric (100) in the -y-axis direction.
[0044] In one example, a cross-section of the jig (200) cut in the first direction (e.g., a cross-section on the xz plane) may have a circular shape. Accordingly, after the jig (200) is placed, a circular hole (e.g., a hole (300) of FIG. 4) corresponding to the shape of the jig (200) may be formed in the woven fabric (100). However, the shape of the jig (200) is not limited to the shape described above, and may be formed in various shapes. In this regard, details will be described later with reference to FIGS. 16A and 16B.
[0045] The fabric (100) can be formed from warp yarns (101) and weft yarns (102). The warp yarns (101) can be defined as yarns arranged in the same direction as the weaving direction of the fabric (e.g., +x-axis direction). The weft yarns (102) can be defined as yarns arranged in a direction perpendicular to the weaving direction of the fabric (e.g., +y-axis direction). The warp yarns (101) and the weft yarns (102) can be arranged to cross each other perpendicularly. For example, when the warp yarns (101) and the weft yarns (102) are viewed from above (e.g., when viewed from the +z-axis direction), the weft yarns (102) can include a plurality of yarns arranged to alternately pass above and below the warp yarns (101) along a first direction (e.g., x-axis direction). Likewise, when viewing the warp yarn (101) and the weft yarn (102) from the side (e.g., when viewing from the -y-axis direction), the warp yarn (101) can be arranged to alternately pass through the multiple yarns included in the weft yarn (102) up and down. Accordingly, the fabric (100) can be formed by the intersection of the warp yarn (101) and the weft yarn (102). That is, the fabric (100) can be formed as a woven fabric. However, the method of forming the fabric (100) is not limited to the above-described method, and can be formed in various ways. In this regard, details will be described later with reference to FIGS. 17a to 17c.
[0046] FIG. 2a is a drawing for explaining a method of weaving a fabric according to one embodiment.
[0047] FIG. 2b is a drawing for explaining the shape of a jig and a woven fabric according to one embodiment.
[0048] FIG. 2c is a drawing for explaining a method of weaving a fabric along a jig according to one embodiment.
[0049] FIG. 2d is a drawing showing first examples of yarns according to one embodiment.
[0050] Referring to FIGS. 2a, 2b, 2c, and 2d, in one embodiment, the warp yarn (101) and the weft yarn (102) can be woven toward a pre-arranged jig (200) (e.g., in the +x-axis direction). For example, the warp yarn (101) and the weft yarn (102) can be woven from the left side (e.g., from the -x-axis) of the jig (200) arrangement area (area A) and can be woven to the right side (e.g., toward the +x-axis) through the jig (200). That is, the warp yarn (101) and the weft yarn (102) can be woven in a curved shape along the outer surface of the jig (200) in the area where the jig (200) is arranged.
[0051] In one embodiment, when weaving the fabric (100), the fabric (100) may be formed by being separated into at least two layers. For example, the fabric (100) may include a first fabric layer (110) constituting an upper portion (e.g., +z-axis portion) of the fabric (100) and a second fabric layer (120) constituting a lower portion (e.g., -z-axis portion) of the fabric (100). The first fabric layer (110) may be woven while being in contact with at least a portion of the upper portion (e.g., +z-axis portion) of the jig (200). The second fabric layer (120) may be woven while being in contact with the remaining portion (e.g., the lower portion (e.g., -z-axis portion) of the jig (200)) excluding the portion of the jig (200) with which the first fabric layer (110) is in contact. In one example, the first fabric layer (110) may include a first surface (111) that is in contact with the jig (200), and the second fabric layer (120) may include a second surface (121) that is in contact with the jig (200). In this case, the first surface (111) and the second surface (121) may be formed to surround the jig (200). Therefore, the first surface (111) and the second surface (121) may each have substantially the same shape as the portion of the jig (200) with which they are in contact. For example, when the cross-section of the jig (200) cut in the first direction (e.g., the +x-axis direction) is circular, the first surface (111) and the second surface (121) may be formed as curved surfaces. In one embodiment, the first fabric layer (110) and the second fabric layer (120) may be at least partially joined. At this time, a hole (e.g., a hole (300) of FIG. 3a) can be formed from an area (e.g., a first surface (111)) that is in contact with the jig (200) of the first fabric layer (110) and an area (e.g., a second surface (121)) that is in contact with the jig (200) of the second fabric layer (120). This will be described later with reference to FIGS. 3a and 3b.
[0052] The diameter (D1) of the jig (200) may be formed to be substantially the same as or larger than the thickness of the fabric (100) in the second direction (e.g., +y-axis direction). For example, the diameter (D1) of the jig (200) may be formed within a certain range compared to the total thickness (D2+D3) of the fabric (100) obtained by adding the second direction thickness (D2) of the first fabric layer (110) and the second direction thickness (D3) of the second fabric layer (120). If the diameter (D1) of the jig (200) is formed to be too large and out of the certain range compared to the total thickness (D2+D3) of the fabric (100), the fabric (100) may not be woven in the correct direction, and thus, difficulties in maintaining the shape of the fabric (100) may occur. For example, when the total thickness (D2+D3) of the fabric (100) is 2 mm to 3 mm, it may be desirable for the diameter (D1) of the jig (200) to have a range of 1.5 mm to 3 mm.
[0053] Referring to FIG. 2c, in one embodiment, when the fabric (100) is woven and viewed from the +z-axis direction, a portion of the jig (200) except for both ends may be surrounded by the fabric (100) so that only both ends of the jig (200) may be exposed. When the fabric (100) is viewed from the -y-axis direction, a curved surface may be formed on the fabric (100) along the +x-axis due to the jig (200) arranged along the +x-axis. For example, the first fabric layer (110) and the second fabric layer (120) may be flat in an area that is not in contact with the jig (200), and in an area in contact with the jig (200), the first fabric layer (110) may be convex in the +z-axis direction and the second fabric layer (120) may be convex in the -z-axis direction.
[0054] Referring to FIG. 2D, in one embodiment, the first yarn (1011), the second yarn (1012), and the third yarn (1013) may be defined as yarns constituting at least one of the warp yarn (101) and the weft yarn (102). The first yarn (1011) may be a hot melt yarn formed from a thermoplastic material. For example, the first yarn (1011) may include nylon or polyester. The second yarn (1012) may be a fully drawn yarn (FDY) or a draw texturing yarn (DTY). For example, the second yarn (1012) may include nylon, polyester, or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The third yarn (1013) may be an elastic polymer having elasticity (e.g., spandex).
[0055] The warp yarn (101) and the weft yarn (102) can be formed by at least one of the first yarn (1011), the second yarn (1012), and the third yarn (1013). For example, in FIG. 2d <201> With reference to FIG. 2D , the first yarn (1011) constitutes the warp yarn (101), and the second yarn (1012) constitutes the weft yarn (102), so that the fabric (100) can be woven by weaving the first yarn (1011) and the second yarn (1012). Accordingly, in one embodiment, the warp yarn (101) and the weft yarn (102) can be composed of various combinations of yarns (e.g., the first yarn (1011), the second yarn (1012), the third yarn (1013), and other types of possible yarns). For example, FIG. 2D <202> With reference to this, the warp yarn (101) is composed of the twisting of the first yarn (1011) and the second yarn (1012), and the weft yarn (102) is composed of the third yarn (1013), so that the elasticity of the fabric (100) can be improved when the fabric (100) is woven.
[0056] FIG. 3a is a drawing for explaining a method of heating a jig according to one embodiment.
[0057] FIG. 3b is a drawing for explaining a form in which a first fabric layer and a second fabric layer are joined through a heated jig according to one embodiment.
[0058] Referring to FIGS. 3A and 3B, in one embodiment, a hole (300) may be formed in the fabric (100). The shape of the fabric (100) immediately after weaving may be a shape in which a jig (200) is inserted into the fabric (100). In this case, the fabric (100) may not be woven in an area of the fabric (100) that comes into contact with the jig (200), so that a hole (300) may be formed. For example, as the fabric (100) is woven in the first direction along the jig (200) arranged in the first direction (e.g., the +x-axis direction), a hole (300) may be formed in the fabric (100) in an area corresponding to the area occupied by the jig (200). Therefore, the shapes of the hole (300) and the jig (200) may be substantially the same. For example, when the jig (200) has a cylindrical shape, the hole (300) may also have a cylindrical shape substantially the same as the jig. In addition, when the jig (200) includes a plurality of jigs (e.g., a plurality of jigs (201, 202, 203, 204) of FIG. 2B) that are arranged at a predetermined interval in the first direction, the hole (300) may include a plurality of holes (301, 302, 303, 304) that are formed in the same number as the plurality of jigs (201, 202, 203, 204). The hole (300) may be formed in the same direction as the extension direction of the jig (200) (e.g., the y-axis direction). For example, the hole (300) may be formed to extend perpendicularly to the weaving direction of the fabric (100) (e.g., the +x-axis direction). In one embodiment, the hole (300) may be formed by the first fabric layer (110) and the second fabric layer (120). The hole (300) may be formed between the first fabric layer (110) and the second fabric layer (120). For example, the hole (300) may correspond to a space between the first side (111) of the first fabric layer (110) and the second side (121) of the second fabric layer (120).
[0059] In one embodiment, heat may be applied to the jig (200) after weaving the fabric (100). Any heating element (e.g., heating element (160) of FIG. 2A) may be placed in the jig placement area (area A), and the jig (200) may be heated by the heating element (160). As the jig (200) is heated, at least a portion of the fabric (100) in contact with the jig (200) may be deformed. For example, the first side (111) and the second side (121) may be deformed by the heat transferred from the heated jig (200). In this case, the first side (111) and the second side (121) may include the first yarn (1011), and the first side (111) and the second side (121) may be deformed as the first yarn (1011) melts. Thereafter, as time passes, when the first yarn (1011) is cooled (e.g., left at room temperature) and hardened, the shapes of the first side (111) and the second side (121) can be completely hardened. That is, even if the jig (200) is separated from the fabric (100), the shapes of the hole (300) formed from the first side (111) and the second side (121) can be maintained the same. Alternatively, in one embodiment, at least a portion of the hole (300) including the first yarn (1011) can be deformed by the heated jig (200). Thereafter, the deformed portion of the hole (300) can be cooled and hardened over time, and the shape of the hole (300) can be maintained constant.
[0060] In one embodiment, the areas where the first fabric layer (110) and the second fabric layer (120) are in contact (e.g., areas B and C) may include the first yarn (1011). Accordingly, when the jig (200) is heated, the first yarn (1011) may melt in areas B and C, thereby bonding the first fabric layer (110) and the second fabric layer (120) to each other. Thereafter, when the first yarn (1011) is cooled and hardened, the first fabric layer (110) and the second fabric layer (120) may be completely bonded and maintain their shape. Through this, the fabric (100) may be formed as a single body in which the first fabric layer (110) and the second fabric layer (120) are bonded.
[0061] The first temperature, which is the heating temperature of the jig (200), may be set higher than the second temperature (or first melting point), which is the melting point of the first yarn (1011). In addition, the first fabric layer (110) and the second fabric layer (120) may include yarns other than the first yarn (1011) (e.g., the second yarn (1012) or the third yarn (1013)). In this case, the first temperature may be set lower than the third temperature (or second melting point), which is the melting point of the other yarn (e.g., the second yarn (1012) or the third yarn (1013)). That is, the first temperature may be set to be higher than the first melting point and lower than the second melting point. For example, if the first yarn (1011) is nylon and the second yarn (1021) is polyester, the first temperature may be set higher than the melting point of nylon and lower than the melting point of polyester. Therefore, even if the jig (200) is heated, other yarns (e.g., the second yarn (1012) or the third yarn (1013)) located in areas other than areas adjacent to the jig (e.g., the first side (111), the second side (121), the B area, and the C area) may not be deformed.
[0062] In various embodiments, the step of placing the fabric (100) and the jig (200) may include the step of placing the warp yarn (101) and the weft yarn (102) such that the portion to be in contact with the jig (200) includes the first yarn (1011).
[0063] FIG. 4 is a schematic drawing showing the shape of a fabric from which a jig has been separated according to one embodiment.
[0064] Referring to FIG. 4, in one embodiment, after the first yarn (1011) of the fabric (100) is cooled, the jig (200) may be separated (or removed) from the fabric (100). For example, the point in time at which the jig (200) is separated may be a point in time at which cooling is achieved to an extent that the shape of the fabric (100) can be maintained constant even when the jig (200) is separated. In this case, even when the jig (200) is separated, the shape of the hole (300) can be maintained substantially the same as that of the jig (200), and the wearing member (10) can be completed. In one embodiment, even after the jig (200) is separated and the wearing member (10) is completed, there may be an area where the first fabric layer (110) and the second fabric layer (120) are not bonded, if necessary.
[0065] Referring to FIGS. 3B and 4, an undulating surface (131) may be formed on the fabric (100) of the completed wearable member. The area where the hole (300) of the fabric (100) is formed may be formed to have a wider width in the z-axis direction compared to an area where the hole (300) is not formed (e.g., area B or area C). Accordingly, when the fabric (100) is viewed from the side (e.g., when viewed in the -y-axis direction), the undulating surface (131) may have a shape in which convex surfaces and flat surfaces alternate.
[0066] The wearing member (10) formed through the process of FIGS. 1A to 4 may further include a fastening member (e.g., fastening member (400) of FIG. 6A) that can be coupled to the hole (300) so that the wearing member (10) can be fixed to the user's body. This will be described later in FIG. 6A and below.
[0067] FIG. 5a is a drawing showing a first fabric layer, a second fabric layer, and a third fabric layer according to one embodiment.
[0068] FIG. 5b is a drawing showing second examples of yarns according to one embodiment.
[0069] Referring to FIGS. 4, 5A, and 5B, in one embodiment, the fabric (90) may include a first fabric layer (110), a second fabric layer (120), and a third fabric layer (130). The third fabric layer (130) may be formed to surround at least a portion of the first fabric layer (110) and the second fabric layer (120). For example, the third fabric layer (130) may form an outer surface of the fabric (90). That is, when the fabric (90) is viewed from the side (e.g., when viewed from the -y axis), the third fabric layer (130) may be viewed as a region above the first fabric layer (110) (e.g., above the +z axis direction) and a region below the second fabric layer (120) (e.g., below the -z axis direction). The description provided with respect to the fabric (100) in FIGS. 1A to 4 may be identical or similar to that provided for the fabric (90).
[0070] In one embodiment, the third fabric layer (130) may be woven together with the first fabric layer (110) and the second fabric layer (120). For example, a part of the third fabric layer (130) surrounding the first fabric layer (110) may be formed together with the first fabric layer (110), and another part of the third fabric layer (130) surrounding the second fabric layer (120) may be formed together with the second fabric layer (120). That is, a wearing member formed of a fabric (90) including the first fabric layer (110), the second fabric layer (120), and the third fabric layer (130) and a wearing member (10) formed of a fabric (100) including only the first fabric layer (110) and the second fabric layer (120) may be formed by substantially the same process.
[0071] In one embodiment, the third fabric layer (130) may be woven separately from the weaving process of the first fabric layer (110) and the second fabric layer (120). For example, the third fabric layer (130) may be woven to surround the fabric (100) after the jig (200) is separated from the fabric (100). In this case, the wearing member formed of the fabric (90) including the first fabric layer (110), the second fabric layer (120), and the third fabric layer (130) may further include a step of weaving the third fabric layer (130) in the manufacturing process of the wearing member (10) formed of the fabric (100) including only the first fabric layer (110) and the second fabric layer (120).
[0072] Referring to FIGS. 1B, 2D, and 5B, in one embodiment, the first yarn (1011), the second yarn (1012), the third yarn (1013), and the fourth yarn (1014) may be defined as yarns constituting at least one of the warp yarn (101) and the weft yarn (102). The first yarn (1011) may be a hot melt yarn formed from a thermoplastic material. For example, the first yarn (1011) may include nylon or polyester. The second yarn (1012) may be a fully drawn yarn (FDY) or a draw texturing yarn (DTY). For example, the second yarn (1012) may include nylon, polyester, or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The third yarn (1013) may be an elastic polymer having elasticity (e.g., spandex). The fourth yarn (1014) may include a polymer compound (e.g., nylon, polyester, or polyethylene terephthalate (PET)).
[0073] In one embodiment, the inner portion of the fabric (90) (e.g., the portion composed of the first fabric layer (110) and the second fabric layer (120)) may be defined as the inner fabric layer (80), and the outer portion of the fabric (90) may be defined as the third fabric layer (130). The inner fabric layer (80) may be formed of at least one of the first yarn (1011), the third yarn (1013), and the fourth yarn (1014). As an example, the inner fabric layer (80) may be formed of the first yarn (1011), the third yarn (1013), and the fourth yarn (1014). <501> It can be formed only with the first yarn (1011) as shown in FIG. 5b. Alternatively, the inner fabric layer (80) may be formed as shown in FIG. 5b. <502> The first yarn (1011) and the fourth yarn (1014) can be twisted and formed as shown in FIG. 5b. The inner fabric layer (80) is <503> The first yarn (1011), the third yarn (1013), and the fourth yarn (1014) may be formed by twisting. <502> or <503> The inner fabric layer (80) formed by twisting several yarns (e.g., first yarn (1011), second yarn (1012), third yarn (1013), and fourth yarn (1014)) <501> The performance of the fabric (e.g. strength, durability, etc.) can be improved compared to an inner fabric layer (80) formed of a single yarn (e.g. first yarn (1011)).
[0074] The third fabric layer (130) is a part that comes into direct contact with the user's body (e.g., skin) and may be formed of a yarn that includes functionality. For example, the outer layer may be formed of a second yarn (1012) or a yarn in which the second yarn (1012) and the third yarn (1013) are combined. For example, the third fabric layer (130) may be formed of a full drawn yarn (FDY) or a draw texturing yarn (DTY), or a yarn in which spandex is combined with a full drawn yarn (FDY) or a draw texturing yarn (DTY). Therefore, by forming the third fabric layer (130), the properties (e.g., surface strength, wear resistance, or durability) of the fabric (90) may be enhanced, or user convenience functions (e.g., waterproofing, deodorizing, drying, or UV blocking) may be enhanced. In various embodiments, by forming the inner fabric layer (80) and the third fabric layer (130) separately, design advantages such as differentiating the colors of the inner fabric layer (80) and the third fabric layer (130) or processing graphic elements can be achieved.
[0075] FIG. 6A is a drawing showing a first binding member and a second binding member according to one embodiment.
[0076] Referring to FIG. 6A, in one embodiment, the wearing member (10) may include a fabric (100) and a binding member (400) coupled to at least a portion of the fabric (100). The description provided for the fabric (100) in FIGS. 1A to 5B may be applied to the fabric (100) of FIG. 6A. The wearing member (10) may be in the form of a binding member (400) coupled to the fabric (100) of FIGS. 1A to 5B. The binding member (400) may be formed to secure the wearing member (10) to the user's body when the user wears the wearing member (10) (or the electronic device (30) coupled to the wearing member (10)). As an example of a binding member (400), the binding member (400) may be formed in the form of a first binding member (401), a second binding member (e.g., a second binding member (402) of FIG. 13a), a third binding member (e.g., a third binding member (403) of FIG. 6d), a fourth binding member (e.g., a fourth binding member (404) of FIG. 8a), or a fifth binding member (e.g., a fifth binding member (405) of FIG. 10a). Each example of the binding member (400) will be described later in the corresponding drawing.
[0077] FIG. 6b is a drawing showing a first binding member according to one embodiment.
[0078] FIG. 6c is a drawing showing a wearing member to which a first binding member is applied, according to one embodiment.
[0079] Fig. 6b <601> is a drawing showing the shape of the first binding member (401), <602> is a drawing showing the form in which the first binding member (401) is fastened to the fabric (100). Fig. 6c <603> and <604> is a drawing showing a form in which a first binding member (401) and a connecting member (40) are fastened to a fabric (100).
[0080] Referring to FIGS. 6b and 6c, in one embodiment, the wearing member (10) may include a fabric (100), a first fastening member (401), and a connecting member (40). The description provided for the fabric (100) of FIGS. 1a to 5b may be applied to the fabric (100) of FIGS. 6b and 6c. The wearing member (10) of FIG. 6c may be in the form of the wearing member (10) of FIG. 6a, in which the fastening member (400) is formed as the first fastening member (401), and a connecting member (40) is added.
[0081] In one embodiment, the first binding member (401) may include an opening (410) formed to allow the fabric (100) to pass through. As an example, the opening (410) may include a plurality of openings that allow the fabric (100) to pass through sequentially. For example, the opening (410) may include a first opening (411) and a second opening (412) formed vertically. Each opening (e.g., the first opening (411) and the second opening (412)) may be formed in substantially the same shape. That is, a width (D4) of the first opening (411) in one direction (e.g., the z-axis direction) and a width of the second opening (412) in one direction (e.g., the z-axis direction) may be formed to be the same. Alternatively, in one example, the first opening (411) and the second opening (412) may be formed in different shapes. The widths of the first opening (411) and the second opening (412) in one direction (e.g., the z-axis direction) may be formed differently.
[0082] The first binding member (401) may be fixed in a state in which the fabric (100) is arranged inside the opening (410). For example, the first binding member (401) may be fixed in a state in which the fabric (100) passes through the second opening (412) and at least a portion of the fabric (100) (e.g., a portion where the hole (300) is formed) is arranged in the second opening (412). The first binding member (401) may be fixed to the fabric (100) by a force (e.g., a frictional force) acting between the fabric (100) arranged inside the second opening (412) and the first binding member (401). For example, the width of the second opening (412) in the z-axis direction may be formed to be smaller than the width (D5) in the z-axis direction of the portion of the fabric (100) where the hole is formed. At this time, the fabric (100) may include an elastic yarn (e.g., a third yarn (1013)) and may shrink to fit the size of the second opening (412) when it enters the second opening (412). Once a portion of the fabric (100) is placed inside the second opening (412), an elastic force may be applied to the first binding member (401) due to the property of the portion of the fabric (100) placed inside the second opening (412) to return to its original state (e.g., a state before shrinking in size). The elastic force may be applied in the up-and-down direction (e.g., +z axis and -z axis) and the left-right direction (e.g., +y axis and -y axis) of the first binding member (401), and through this, the first binding member (401) may be fixed in close contact with the fabric (100).
[0083] The first binding member (401) can be moved along the uneven surface of the fabric (100) (e.g., the uneven surface (131) of FIG. 4). In one embodiment, the first binding member (401) can be moved in the +x-axis direction or the -x-axis direction and fixed at a specific position on the uneven surface (131). Accordingly, a user can move the first binding member (401) to a desired point on the uneven surface (131) to fix the first binding member (401) to the fabric (100). In this process, a frictional sound (e.g., a 'creaking' sound) may be generated due to the frictional force acting between the first binding member (401) and the fabric (100). In addition, whether the first fastening member (401) and the fabric (100) are fixed can be confirmed through the fastening sound (e.g., a 'click' sound) generated when the second opening (412) is caught on the convex surface (e.g., the surface where the hole (300) is formed) of the uneven surface (131).
[0084] Referring to FIG. 6c, in one embodiment, the wearable member (10) may include a connecting member (40) that connects the wearable member (10) to an external component (e.g., an electronic device (30) of FIG. 7a). The wearing member (10) and the electronic device (30) may be physically connected through the connecting member (40), and the user may easily carry the electronic device (30) by directly wearing the electronic device (30) on a part of the body.
[0085] The wearing member (10) can be positioned so that the uneven surface (131) of the fabric (100) comes into contact with the user's body. For example, the user can wear the wearing member (10) connected to the electronic device (30) via the connecting member (40) so as to wrap around the wrist, and then freely move the first binding member (401) along the uneven surface (131) to adjust the length of the uneven surface (131) that comes into contact with the wrist.
[0086] FIG. 6d is a drawing showing a third binding member according to one embodiment.
[0087] Fig. 6d <605> is a drawing showing the shape of the third binding member (403), <606> is a drawing showing a form in which a third binding member (403) is fastened to a fabric (100).
[0088] Referring to FIG. 6d, in one embodiment, the wearing member (10) may include a fabric (100) and a third fastening member (403). The description provided for the fabric (100) in FIGS. 1a to 5b may be applied to the fabric (100) of FIG. 6d. The wearing member (10) of FIG. 6d may be in the form of the fastening member (400) formed as the third fastening member (403) in the wearing member (10) of FIG. 6a.
[0089] In one embodiment, the third fastening member (403) may include a first portion (4031) extending in a second direction (e.g., in the +y-axis direction), a second portion (4032) and a third portion (4033) extending downward (e.g., in the -z-axis direction) from the first portion (4031), a first protruding portion (4042) protruding from the second portion (4032), and a second protruding portion (4043) protruding from the third portion (4033). The third fastening member (403) may be fixed to the fabric (100) by having the first protruding portion (4042) and the second protruding portion (4043) inserted into holes. For example, the first protruding portion (4042) may be inserted toward the hole (300) in the -y-axis direction, and the second protruding portion (4043) may be inserted toward the hole (300) in the +y-axis direction. Accordingly, the user can adjust the length of the wearing member (10) (e.g., the length of the uneven surface (131) that comes into contact with the body) to fit the user's body by inserting the third binding member (403) into the hole (300) formed at a desired location.
[0090] In various embodiments, the shape of the third binding member (403) is not limited to the above-described shape and may be formed in various shapes. For example, the third binding member (403) may be formed in a form in which a first protruding portion (4042) and a second protruding portion (4043) are connected, and in this case, the third binding member (403) may include an opening (or, loop).
[0091] FIGS. 7A and 7B are drawings for explaining a first form of a wearable member fastened to an electronic device according to one embodiment.
[0092] Fig. 7a is a drawing showing a first form of a wearing member (10) including a first fastening member (401), and Fig. 7b is a drawing showing a form of the wearing member (10) of Fig. 7a viewed from a different angle. In Fig. 7b, some components (e.g., connecting member (40)) and / or shapes (e.g., uneven surface (131) of Fig. 4) are omitted for convenience of expression, but those skilled in the art will easily understand that the omitted components and / or shapes can be applied together.
[0093] Referring to FIGS. 7A and 7B , in one embodiment, the wearing member (10) may include a fabric (100), a first fastening member (401), and a connecting member (40). The description provided for the fabric (100) in FIGS. 7A and 7B may refer to the description provided for the fabric (100) in FIGS. 1A to 6D . The description provided for the first fastening member (401) in FIGS. 6A to 6C may refer to the description provided for the first fastening member (401) in FIGS. 7A and 7B . The description provided for the connecting member (40) in FIG. 6C may refer to the description provided for the connecting member (40) in FIG. The wearing member (10) of FIGS. 7a and 7b may be formed in a form in which the fastening member (400) of the wearing member (10) of FIG. 6a is formed as a first fastening member (401), and the connecting member (40) of FIG. 6c is formed as a first connecting member (41) and a second connecting member (42) that are coupled to the electronic device (30).
[0094] In one embodiment, the first bonding member (401) may include an upper bonding member (401a) and a lower bonding member (401b). The connecting member (40) may include a first bonding member (41) that is attachable to one side of the electronic device (30) and a second bonding member (42) that is attachable to the other side of the electronic device (30).
[0095] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the first connecting member (41) may be inserted into a hole (300) formed in a first end (100a) of the fabric (100), and the remaining portion may be fastened to the electronic device (30) so that the fabric (100) and the electronic device (30) may be connected. In one embodiment, the second end (100b) of the fabric (100) may pass through the second connecting member (42) so that at least a portion of the fabric (100) may be overlapped in two layers. For example, the second end (100b) of the fabric (100) can sequentially pass through the first opening (411) of the lower binding member (401b) (e.g., the first opening (411) of FIG. 6b), the first opening (411) of the upper binding member (401a), the second connecting member (42), the second opening (412) of the upper binding member (401a) (e.g., the second opening (412) of FIG. 6b), and the second opening (412) of the lower binding member (401b).
[0096] The upper binding member (401a) may be positioned adjacent to the second connecting member (42) of the fabric (100). The upper binding member (401a) may engage with a recessed surface (e.g., the recessed surface (131) of FIG. 4). For example, the first opening (411) and the second opening (412) of the upper binding member (401a) may each engage with the recessed surface (131). Similarly, the opening (410) of the lower binding member (401b) may also engage with the recessed surface (131).
[0097] In one embodiment, the user can adjust the size of the wearing member (10) (e.g., defined as the length in the x-axis direction of the area of the fabric (100) that is in direct contact with the body) by moving the second end (100b) of the fabric (100) while wearing the wearing member (10) on the body (e.g., the wrist). For example, when the size of the wearing member (10) is large, the size of the wearing member (10) can be reduced by pulling the second end (100b) in one direction (e.g., in the S2 direction). When the size of the wearing member (10) is small, the size of the wearing member (10) can be increased by pushing the second end (100b) in the other direction (e.g., in the S1 direction). After the size adjustment of the wearing member (10) is completed, the size of the wearing member (10) can be maintained by the frictional force between the upper binding member (401a) and the uneven surface (131) and the frictional force between the lower binding member (401b) and the uneven surface (131). In one embodiment, the adjusted size of the wearing member (10) can be maintained in the adjusted state unless an external force is applied.
[0098] FIGS. 8A to 8C are drawings for explaining a second form of a wearable member fastened to an electronic device according to one embodiment.
[0099] FIG. 8a is a drawing showing a second form of a wearing member (10) including a fourth fastening member (404), FIG. 8b is a drawing specifically showing the form of the fourth fastening member (404), and FIG. 8c is a drawing showing a form of the wearing member (10) viewed from a different angle. In FIGS. 8b and 8c, some components (e.g., the connecting member (40)) and / or shapes (e.g., the uneven surface (131) of FIG. 4) are omitted for convenience of expression, but those skilled in the art will easily understand that the omitted components and / or shapes can be applied together.
[0100] Referring to FIGS. 8A to 8C , in one embodiment, the wearing member (10) may include a fabric (100), a first fastening member (401), a fourth fastening member (404), a connecting member (40), and a hook (140). The description provided for the fabric (100) in FIGS. 1A to 7B may be used for the fabric (100) in FIGS. 8A to 8C . The description provided for the first fastening member (401) in FIGS. 6A to 7B may be used for the first fastening member (401) in FIGS. 8A to 8C . The description provided for the connecting member (40) in FIGS. 6C , 7A, and 7B may be used for the connecting member (40) in FIGS. 8A . The wearing member (10) of FIGS. 8a to 8c may be in the form of the wearing member (10) of FIGS. 7a and 7b in which the lower fastening member (401b) is replaced with a fourth fastening member (404) and a hook (140).
[0101] In one embodiment, the first connecting member (41) and the second connecting member (42) can physically connect the electronic device (30) and the fabric (100). The first fastening member (401) includes an opening (e.g., an opening (410) of FIG. 6B) through which the fabric (100) passes so that the size of the wearing member (10) can be adjusted (e.g., defined as the length in the x-axis direction of an area of the fabric (100) that directly contacts the body). The fourth fastening member (404) can have at least a portion inserted into the hole (300), and a hook (140) can be engaged with a hook (434) formed in the remaining portion. A portion of the hook (140) can be inserted into and fixed to the hole (300), and another portion can be formed to be hooked to the hook (434). For example, the hook (140) can be inserted into a hole (300) formed adjacent to the other end of the fabric (100) (e.g., the other end (100b) of FIG. 7a) and fixed to the hook (434) to prevent the wearing member (10) from being separated from the user's body.
[0102] In one embodiment, the user can determine the size of the wearing member (10) by adjusting how far the other end of the fabric (100) (e.g., the other end (100b) of FIG. 7a) is spaced from the first fastening member (401). Thereafter, the user can insert the fourth fastening member (404) into the hole (300) formed at a position where the hook (140) can be engaged so that the adjusted size of the wearing member (10) does not change again. In this case, the wearing member (10) can be stably secured to the user's body by the engagement of the hook (140) and the fourth fastening member (404).
[0103] After determining the size of the wearing member (10) using the first fastening member (401), the user can adjust the insertion position of the hook (140) so that the hook (140) can be firmly fixed to the hook (434) of the fourth fastening member (404) while the fourth fastening member (404) is inserted into the hole (300). In this case as well, the wearing member (10) can be stably fixed to the user's body by the engagement of the hook (140) and the fourth fastening member (404).
[0104] Referring to FIG. 8B, in one embodiment, the shape of the fourth binding member (404) is not limited to the above-described content and may be formed in various shapes. For example, the fourth binding member (404) may include an insertion portion (414) that can be inserted into the hole (300), a connection portion (424) connected to the insertion portion (414), a hook portion (434) extending from the connection portion (424) and engaging with the hook (140), and a cover (444) that covers at least a portion of the hook portion (434). The insertion portion (414) is formed to be freely detachable from the hole (300), so that the fourth binding member (404) can be easily attached to and detached from the fabric (100). For example, the insertion portion (414) may have a protruding shape (e.g., a shape protruding from the connection portion (424) toward the inside of the hole (300)) so that it can be easily detached from the hole (300). In one embodiment, the insert (414) may have a shape substantially identical to or similar to the first protruding portion (4042) or the second protruding portion (4043) of FIG. 6d.
[0105] FIG. 9 is a drawing for explaining a third form of a wearable member fastened to an electronic device according to one embodiment.
[0106] Referring to FIG. 9, in one embodiment, the wearing member (10) may include a fabric (100), a connecting member (40), and a magnetic member (500). The description provided for the fabric (100) in FIGS. 1A to 8C may be applied to the fabric (100) in FIGS. 1A to 8C. The description provided for the connecting member (40) in FIGS. 6C and 7A to 8C may be applied to the connecting member (40) in FIGS. 9. The wearing member (10) in FIG. 9 may be in the form of the wearing member (10) in FIGS. 7A and 7B in which the lower fastening member (401b) is omitted and the magnetic member (500) is added.
[0107] In one embodiment, the magnet member (500) may include a plurality of magnet members (510, 520, 530, 540) inserted into each hole (300). The plurality of magnet members (510, 520, 530, 540) may be inserted at positions where magnetic force is applied to each other so that the wearing member (10) can be stably fixed to the user's body. For example, the first magnet member (510) may be inserted into the hole (300) formed in a portion that directly contacts the user's body. The second magnet member (520) may be inserted into the hole (300) formed in an area corresponding to the hole (300) into which the first magnet member (510) is inserted (e.g., an area overlapping with an area where the first magnet member (510) is positioned among areas of the double-layered fabric (100). In this case, the first magnet member (510) and the second magnet member (520) may have different polarities so that an electromagnetic attraction is applied between them. In one embodiment, in order to further strengthen the fixing force of the wearing member (10), the third magnet member (530) and the fourth magnet member (540) may be inserted into corresponding positions on the fabric (100). For example, the fourth magnet member (540) may be inserted into a hole (300) formed in an area of the fabric (100) that overlaps with an area where the third magnet member (530) is positioned.
[0108] The user can adjust the size of the wearing member (10) by adjusting the length from one end of the fabric (100) connected to the first connecting member (41) (e.g., one end (100a) of FIG. 7a) to the portion passing through the second connecting member (42) (e.g., by adjusting the other end of the fabric (100) (e.g., the other end (100b) of FIG. 7a)). Thereafter, in order to fix the shape of the adjusted wearing member (10), a plurality of magnetic members (510, 520, 530, 540) can be inserted into a portion of the overlapping fabric (100). An attractive force is applied between the inserted plurality of magnetic members (510, 520, 530, 540), so that the size of the wearing member (10) may not change (or, the fabric (100) may not be separated from the second connecting member (42).
[0109] In one embodiment, the shape of the magnet member (500) may be formed to be substantially the same as the shape of the hole (300). Through this, the magnet member (500) may be inserted into the hole (300) to fit perfectly. Alternatively, in one embodiment, the magnet member (500) may be formed to be larger than the hole (300). For example, when the cross-sections of the hole (300) and the magnet member (500) are circular, the cross-section of the magnet member (500) may have a larger diameter than the cross-section of the hole (300). In this case, the magnet member (500) may still be inserted into the hole (300) due to the elasticity of the fabric (100). In addition, the magnet member (500) can be more firmly fixed to the hole (300) by the elastic force generated from the difference in size between the magnet member (500) and the hole (300) (e.g., force applied to the magnet member (500) to return the hole (300) to its original state from an extended state).

Fig. 14c <1405> is a drawing showing a third form in which a wearable member is fastened to an electronic device cover (31). <1406> is a drawing of the third type of wearable from a different angle.
[0130] With reference to FIGS. 14A to 14C , in one embodiment, the wearing member (10) of FIG. 14A may include a fabric (100), a fourth fastening member (404), and a fifth fastening member (405). The wearing member (10) of FIG. 14B may include a fabric (100) and a fourth fastening member (404). The wearing member (10) of FIG. 14C may include a fabric (100) and a first fastening member (401). The description provided for the fabric (100) in FIGS. 1A to 13B may be applied to the fabric (100) of FIGS. 14A to 14C . The description provided for the fourth binding member (404) in FIGS. 8A to 8C, 12A, and 12B may be used for the fourth binding member (404) in FIGS. 14A to 14C. The description provided for the fifth binding member (405) in FIGS. 10A to 12B may be used for the fifth binding member (405) in FIGS.
[0131] The wearing member (10) of Fig. 14a may be a form in which the connecting member (40) is excluded from the wearing member (10) of Fig. 12a. The wearing member (10) of Fig. 14b may be a form in which the connecting member (40) and the first fastening member (401) are excluded from the wearing member (10) of Fig. 8a. The wearing member (10) of Fig. 14c may be a form in which the connecting member (40) and the upper fastening member (401a) are excluded from the wearing member (10) of Fig. 7a.
[0132] In one embodiment, the wearing member (10) may also be coupled to an electronic device cover (31) (e.g., a smartphone case). For example, the wearing member (10) may be coupled to a first protrusion (32) and a second protrusion (33) protruding from the electronic device cover (31). A user may insert a hand into the gap between the wearing member (10) and the electronic device cover (31), and the size of the wearing member (10) may be adjusted to fit the size of the user's hand through the fabric (100) and the fastening member (400).
[0133] <1401> and <1402> With reference to , the fabric (100) may include a first fabric (1001) and a second fabric (1002). One end of the first fabric (1001) may be fixed to the first protrusion (32) and the other end may be fixed to the fifth fastening member (405) so as to be supported by a user's hand. One end of the second fabric (1002) may be coupled to the second protrusion (33). The other end of the second fabric (1002) may pass through the fifth fastening member (405) and be fastened to the fourth fastening member (404). At this time, the length of the second fabric (1002) (e.g., the length in the x-axis direction of the portion of the second fabric (1002) facing the electronic device cover (31)) may be adjusted by the movement of the fifth fastening member (405) (e.g., the movement in the z-axis direction). The length of the adjusted second fabric (1002) can be maintained by the fastening of the fourth fastening member (404) and the hook (140). The fourth fastening member (404) can be freely positioned at any position of the second fabric (1002) (e.g., any hole (300) of the second fabric (1002)). For example, the fourth fastening member (404) can be inserted into a hole (300) of the second fabric (1002) formed at a position corresponding to the position of the hook (140).
[0134] <1403> and <1404> With reference to , one end of the fabric (100) can be joined to the second protrusion (33). The other end of the fabric (100) (e.g., the end of the fabric (100) where the hook (140) is formed) can pass through the first protrusion (32) and be joined to the fourth fastening member (404). The length of the fabric (100) (e.g., the length in the x-axis direction of the portion of the fabric (100) facing the electronic device cover (31)) can be adjusted depending on how far the other end of the fabric (100) is separated from the first protrusion (32). The adjusted length of the fabric (100) can be maintained constant due to the joining of the fourth fastening member (404) and the hook (140). The fourth fastening member (404) can be freely placed at any position of the fabric (100) (e.g., any hole (300) of the fabric (100)). For example, the fourth binding member (404) can be inserted into a hole (300) of the fabric (100) formed at a position corresponding to the position of the hook (140).
[0135] <1405> and <1406> With reference to , one end of the fabric (100) can be coupled to the second protrusion (33). The other end of the fabric (100) can sequentially pass through the first fastening member (401) and the first protrusion (32), and can be engaged with the opening of the first fastening member (401) (e.g., the opening (410) of FIG. 6b) to be fastened to the first fastening member (401). The length of the fabric (100) (e.g., the length in the x-axis direction of the portion of the fabric (100) facing the electronic device cover (31)) can be adjusted depending on how far the other end of the fabric (100) is spaced from the first protrusion (32). The length of the adjusted fabric (100) can be maintained constant by the bonding force (e.g., frictional force) between the first binding member (401) and the uneven surface of the fabric (100) (e.g., uneven surface (131) of FIG. 4).
[0136] FIG. 15 is a drawing for explaining a comparison between the wearable member of the present invention and a conventional wearable member according to one embodiment.
[0137] Fig. 15 <1501> is a drawing showing an example of a conventional wearable member applied to an electronic device cover, <1502> is a drawing showing an example of a wearable member of the present invention applied to an electronic device cover.
[0138] Referring to Fig. 15, a conventional wearing member is formed by folding a strap fabric (1510) so that a strap hole (1530) is formed, sewing, and then joining. A sewing line (1512) is formed on the strap fabric (1510), and the joining cross-section of the overlapping portion of the strap fabric (1510) is joined with a thermoplastic material (1511) (e.g., thermoplastic polyurethane). Therefore, the manufacturing process of the conventional wearing member includes a step of weaving a strap fabric (1510), a step of cutting the strap fabric (1510) to an appropriate size, a step of sewing the strap fabric (1510), a step of joining the strap fabric (1510), and a step of joining the strap fabric (1510) with a thermoplastic material (1511).
[0139] On the other hand, referring to FIG. 15, in one embodiment, a hole (e.g., a hole (300) of FIG. 3a) may be formed in the wearing member (10) of the present invention simultaneously with the weaving of the base fabric (1500). That is, the base fabric (1500) may be woven along a jig (e.g., a jig (200) of FIG. 1a) to form the shape of the hole (300), and a thermoplastic yarn (e.g., a first yarn (1011) of FIG. 2d) included in the base fabric (1500) may be deformed through the heated jig to complete the shape of the hole (300). Therefore, in the manufacturing process of the wearing member (10) of the present invention, at least one of the step of cutting the base fabric (1500), the step of sewing the base fabric (1500), the step of bonding the base fabric, and the step of bonding the base fabric with a thermoplastic material may be omitted compared to a conventional process. As an example, the manufacturing process of the wearable member (10) of the present invention may include only a step of weaving a base fabric (1500). For example, the step of weaving the base fabric (1500) may be a process in which the steps described with reference to FIGS. 1A to 5B (e.g., a step of arranging warp yarns (101) and weft yarns (102) forming a jig (200) and a fabric (100), a step of weaving the fabric (100), a step of heating the jig (200) to deform the fabric (100), and a step of separating the jig (200)) are performed simultaneously or continuously. The description provided for the fabric (100) in FIGS. 1A to 14C may be applied to the base fabric (1500).
[0140] FIGS. 16A and 16B are drawings showing examples of jigs according to one embodiment.
[0141] The description provided in relation to the jig (200) in FIGS. 1A to 5B may be equally referenced for the first jig (210) and the second jig (220) of FIG. 16A and the third jig (230), the fourth jig (240), and the fifth jig (250) of FIG. 16B.
[0142] Referring to FIGS. 1A to 5B, 16A, and 16B, in one embodiment, the shape of the jig (200) can be formed in various ways. For example, the shape of a cross-section of the jig (200) (e.g., a cross-section of the jig (200) cut along the x-axis) can be formed in a circle or a polygon. Alternatively, the jig (200) can include a plurality of jigs having different shapes. Accordingly, by changing the shape of the jig (200) in various ways, the shape of the hole (300) formed in the fabric (100) can also be easily changed.
[0143] Fig. 16a <1601> and <1602> With reference to the above, in one embodiment, the cross-section of the first jig (210) (e.g., the cross-section of the first jig (210) cut along the x-axis) may be formed in a circular shape. That is, the first jig (201) may have a cylindrical (or rod) shape with the circular cross-section extending in the y-axis direction. In one embodiment, the second jig (220) may include jigs (221, 222) having circular cross-sections (e.g., the cross-sections cut along the x-axis) of different diameters. In this case, a cylindrical jig (221) having a small diameter and a cylindrical jig (222) having a relatively large diameter may be repeatedly arranged (e.g., may be alternately arranged in the +x-axis direction). As the difference in diameter between the jigs (221, 222) of the second jig (220) increases, the area of contact between the fabric (100) formed through the second jig (220) and the user's body may decrease. Accordingly, the air-permeability, quick-drying, and elongation of the fabric (100) may be improved.
[0144] Fig. 16b <1603> With reference to the above, in one embodiment, a cross-section of the third jig (230) (e.g., a cross-section of the third jig (230) cut along the x-axis) may be formed as a diamond. In one embodiment, the third jig (230) may include two jigs having different diameters of the cross-section (e.g., a diagonal length parallel to the x-axis). In this case, a jig having a small diameter and a jig having a relatively large diameter may be repeatedly arranged (e.g., alternately arranged in the +x-axis direction). The fabric (100) formed using the third jig (230) may have a reduced area in contact with a user's body, and thus, air-permeability and quick-drying properties of the fabric (100) may be improved.
[0145] Fig. 16b <1604> With reference to the above, in one embodiment, the fourth jig (240) may include a first side (241) (e.g., a side of the fourth jig (240) viewed from the +y-axis) and a second side (242) (e.g., a side of the fourth jig (240) viewed from the -y-axis) having different diameters. The first side (241) and the second side (242) may have a circular shape, and the diameter of the first side (241) may be formed smaller than the diameter of the second side (242). In one example, the fourth jig (240) may include a jig (e.g., a cone-shaped jig) in which the first side (241) is formed to have a smaller diameter than the second side (242) and a jig in which the first side (241) is formed to have a larger diameter than the second side (242). Additionally, in one embodiment, a jig arranged such that the first side (241) faces the +y-axis and a jig arranged such that the first side (241) faces the -y-axis may be repeatedly arranged (e.g., may be alternately arranged in the +x-axis direction).
[0146] Fig. 16b <1605> With reference to the above, in one embodiment, the fifth jig (250) may be formed into a cross-section of a predetermined shape (e.g., a cross-section of the fifth jig (250) cut along the x-axis). For example, the cross-section of the fifth jig (250) may be formed into a circle or a polygon. The fifth jig (250) may include a plurality of jigs spaced apart by a predetermined interval (D6) in the first direction (e.g., in the x-axis direction). At this time, by adjusting the interval (D6) of the fifth jig (250), the interval at which holes (300) are formed on the fabric (100) may be adjusted. As the interval (D6) increases, the area of contact between the fabric (100) and the user's body may decrease, and thus, the air-permeability and quick-drying properties of the fabric (100) may be improved.
[0147] FIGS. 17a to 17c are drawings for explaining a wearing member formed by a knitting method according to one embodiment.
[0148] Fig. 17a is a drawing for explaining a knitting method, Fig. 17b is a drawing showing a fabric woven using a knitting method, and Fig. 17c is a drawing showing a wearing member manufactured using a fabric woven using a knitting method.
[0149] Referring to FIGS. 1A to 5B, 17A, 17B, and 17C, in one embodiment, the fabric (150) may be formed not by weaving warp yarns (101) and weft yarns (102), but by using knit yarns (170). For example, the fabric may be formed by weaving a single knit yarn (170) to form a loop. The fabric (150) formed by the knit yarn (170) may be substantially identical to or similar to the description provided in relation to the manufacture of the fabric (100) in FIGS. 1A to 5B. For example, with the jig (200) placed, the knit yarn (170) is woven to form a hole (300) in the fabric (150), and after the shape of the fabric (150) is hardened through heating of the jig (200), the fabric (150) can be completed by separating the jig (200). In addition, in one embodiment, the description provided with respect to the wearing member (10) through FIGS. 1A to 16B can be substantially identically referenced with respect to the wearing member (10) manufactured using the knit yarn (170). As an example, the wearing member (10) can be in a form in which at least a portion of the fabric (150) formed of the knit yarn (170) is combined with a first binding member (401), and the remaining portion is combined with a second binding member (402).
