Description

Men's dress

[0001] The present invention relates to a one-piece dress suitable for men.

[0002] Traditionally, one-piece dresses were not made for men to wear. Therefore, even if a man wanted to wear one-piece dresses, there were no women's dresses that fit his body well. There were no dresses suitable for men who were not particularly into cross-dressing. Also, when men needed to relieve themselves in the toilet, they had no choice but to use a private room or tuck up their skirts to use the urinal.

[0003] Patent Publication No. 2019-11537

[0004] As mentioned above, there has not been a one-piece dress that fits a man's body well and has the functions necessary for everyday life, such as going to the toilet.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a men's one-piece dress that is sized to fit the expected physique of the user, has no bust, a chest circumference that is 100% to 120% of the expected chest circumference of the user, a waist circumference that is narrower than the chest circumference, and is equipped with a zipper for standing urination. Because it does not have a bust area like women's one-piece dresses, it fits the body when worn by a man and prevents the dress from touching the urinal when relieving oneself in a toilet. Furthermore, the zipper allows a man wearing the men's one-piece dress of the present invention to easily relieve himself at a urinal in a men's restroom.

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems related to men's one-piece dresses, the present application provides, as a first invention, a men's one-piece dress of a size determined based on the physique of an expected user,

[0007] There is no chest swelling, and the chest circumference is 100% to 120% of the user's expected chest circumference,

[0008] The waist is narrower than the chest,

[0009] To provide a one-piece dress for men equipped with a fastener for standing urination.

[0010] As a second invention, based on the first invention,

[0011] To provide a one-piece dress for men in which the hip circumference is larger than the waist circumference.

[0012] As a third invention, based on either the first invention or the second invention,

[0013] To provide a men's one-piece dress whose length (referring to the length from the base of the neck at the back of the clothing (back neck point) to the hem; the same applies hereinafter) is 60% to 100% of the expected height of a user.

[0014] As a fourth invention, based on any one of the first to third inventions,

[0015] The men's one-piece dress is provided with a zipper that can be opened and closed up to the bottom end of the hem.

[0016] The men's one-piece dress of the present invention, having the above-mentioned configuration, is a men's one-piece dress of a predetermined size for the expected physique of the user, has no bust, a chest circumference that is 100% to 120% of the expected chest circumference of the user, a waist circumference that is narrower than the chest circumference, and is equipped with a zipper for the user to urinate while standing. Because it does not have a bust area like women's one-piece dresses, it fits the body when worn by a man and prevents the front hem from sagging. Furthermore, the zipper allows men wearing the men's one-piece dress of the present invention to easily urinate in a urinal in a men's restroom.

[0018] <Outline of Embodiment 1> Mainly claims 1, 2, and 3

[0019] The men's one-piece dress of the present invention in embodiment 1 is configured to have no bulge in the chest area, a chest circumference that is 100% to 120% of the expected chest circumference of the user, a waist circumference that is narrower than the chest circumference, and a zipper for men to urinate while standing.

[0020] The men's one-piece dress of the present invention is sized to fit the physique of the intended user. It is a one-piece dress of an optimal size for wearing by the intended male user. The sizes of each part are the chest (including chest circumference), waist circumference, hip circumference, and length, which will be described later. The men's one-piece dress of the present embodiment 1 will be explained using FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a front view of the men's one-piece dress of the present embodiment 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the men's one-piece dress of the present embodiment 1 is configured to have a chest (0101), a waist (0102), hips (0103), a zipper (0104), and a hem (0105). <Embodiment 1 Chest (0101)>

[0021] The men's one-piece dress of the present invention is designed to have no bulge in the chest and a chest circumference that is 100% to 120% of the expected chest circumference of the user (see FIG. 1).

[0022] "No fullness in the chest" means that while women's clothing has a fullness in the chest area to accommodate the volume of the bust area at the front of the chest, which is characteristic of women, the men's one-piece dress of the present invention does not have such a fullness in the chest area. Because the fabric of the one-piece dress does not have a fullness in the bust area, when a man wears the men's one-piece dress of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the fabric in the chest area from sagging, ruining the silhouette when worn, or the excess fabric in the chest area from hanging down, causing the front hem of the dress to droop. <Embodiment 1 Chest: Chest circumference>

[0023] Men, in particular, are encouraged to approach the urinal when using a urinal. Figure 3 shows the relative position of the feet when using the urinal and the urinal itself. The gray area in the figure indicates the approximate area where liquid droplets will splash when using the urinal. The solid horizontal oval in the figure represents the chest circumference of a user wearing a one-piece dress, while the dotted horizontal oval indicates the location of the fabric of the chest area of ​​the one-piece dress of the present invention, which has a chest circumference that is 120% of the user's chest circumference. Approaching a urinal while wearing a loose-fitting one-piece dress with a chest circumference greater than 120% can cause inconveniences, such as the chest area of ​​the dress coming into contact with parts of the urinal or water splashing from the urinal onto the user's clothing. This is an issue that does not occur when a woman is wearing a one-piece dress, and is only an issue with men's one-piece dresses.

[0024] To prevent the above problems, the chest size of a men's one-piece dress should be between 100% (the same size as the expected chest size of the user) and 120% of the expected chest size of the user. This will not only fit the expected physique of the user, but also prevent the hem from sagging unexpectedly due to the lack of extra space caused by the bulge in the chest that is typical of women's clothing.

[0025] Figure 4 shows a table listing examples of chest and waist sizes for a men's one-piece dress of the present invention, relative to the height, chest circumference, and waist of an assumed user. The assumed user's body size in the figure conforms to the men's sizes standardized by the Japan Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (JASPO). In the one-piece sizes shown in Figure 4, the chest circumference is in the range of 100-120% of the assumed user's chest circumference, and the waist circumference, described below, is in the range of 75-90% of the one-piece chest circumference.

[0026] The dress sizes shown in FIG. 4 are as follows: SS size: for a person with a height of 157-163 cm, a chest circumference of 81-87 cm, and a waist circumference of 67-73 cm, the chest circumference is 87-97 cm and the waist circumference is 73-78 cm; S size: for a person with a height of 162-168 cm, a chest circumference of 85-91 cm, and a waist circumference of 71-77 cm, the chest circumference is 91-102 cm and the waist circumference is 77-81 cm; M size: for a person with a height of 167-173 cm, a chest circumference of 89-95 cm, and a waist circumference of 75-81 cm. For a body size of 172-178 cm, chest circumference is 93-99 cm, and waist circumference is 79-85 cm, the L size has a chest circumference of 99-111 cm and waist circumference of 84-89 cm for a body size of 172-178 cm, chest circumference of 93-99 cm, and waist circumference of 79-85 cm, and the O size has a chest circumference of 103-116 cm and waist circumference of 87-92 cm for a body size of 177-183 cm, chest circumference of 97-103 cm, and waist circumference of 83-89 cm.

[0027] It is preferable that the upper body portion (from the collar to the waist area) of the men's one-piece dress of the present invention does not open in the front. This is because if the front of the upper body is open in hot weather, the fabric of the dress is more likely to come into contact with the toilet bowl when urinating. <Embodiment 1 Waist (0102): Around the waist>

[0028] The men's one-piece dress of the present invention is configured so that the waist is narrower than the chest (see FIG. 1).

[0029] The waist circumference of a men's one-piece dress is preferably in the range of 75% to 90% of the chest circumference of the dress. The reason for excluding waist circumferences less than 75% is that the waist circumference size of the dress shown in Figure 4 overlaps with the waist size range of the user's body and does not fit the Japanese body shape. The reason for setting the upper limit at 90% is that dimensions exceeding 90% are likely to come into contact with the urinal or be subject to a large amount of splashing during urination, similar to the chest circumference. <Embodiment 1 Hips (0103): Hip circumference>

[0030] The men's one-piece dress of the present invention is configured so that the hip area is fuller than the waist area (see FIG. 1).

[0031] The hip area is made larger than the waist area in order to support the waist fabric of the dress with the hips or the upper pelvis below the waist, thereby holding the skirt portion of the dress in place. By holding the skirt portion of the dress above the hips, even if there is excess fabric in the upper body compared to the user's expected size, it can be held in place without affecting the skirt portion. This effect is achieved because the hips are made larger than the waist. <Embodiment 1: Length>

[0032] The men's one-piece dress of the present invention is configured so that the length (the length from the base of the neck at the back of the garment (back neck point) to the hem; the same applies below) is 60% to 100% of the expected height of the wearer.

[0033] "Length" refers to the length from the base of the neck at the back of the garment (back neck point) to the hem.

[0034] "60% to 100% of the height of the expected user" refers to the state in which, when worn by the expected user, the hem of the men's one-piece dress of the present invention ranges from the knee or a position near the knee (60%, left half of Figure 2) to a state in which the hem hangs down and partially drags on the floor (100%, right half of Figure 2), as shown in Figure 2. Similar to Figure 1, Figure 2 is a front view of the men's one-piece dress of this embodiment 1, with the left side showing the dress length at 60% of the expected user's elongation, and the right side showing the dress length at 100%.

[0035] For example, the dress may have a front hem that reaches 60% (near the knee) or the ankle, and a back hem that reaches 100% of the length, causing the hem to trail along the back. Alternatively, the dress may have a hem that does not trail along the back, but falls downward in the back when viewed from the side, such that the hem of the front is below the knee and the hem of the back is near the ankle.

[0036] Conversely, the hem of the front body may be longer than the other, or the entire hem may be of uniform length. The entire hem may be in contact with the floor. <Embodiment 1 Zipper (0105)>

[0037] The men's one-piece dress of the present invention is configured to have a zipper for men to urinate while standing.

[0038] The term "zipper" refers to a mechanism for opening and closing clothing such as pants and jackets. Different types of closures, such as buttons, zippers, and snap buttons, are classified as zippers. In particular, in this specification, the term "zipper" refers to a mechanism for opening and closing an opening for men to urinate while standing. A zipper fly (aside from a zipper fly, flies using buttons, snap buttons, hook-and-loop fasteners, hooks, etc., can also be used; the same applies below) may be provided, with double-layered fabric to conceal the zipper on the opening for men to urinate while standing. As shown in FIG. 1 , this opening is provided near the front of the crotch area for men wearing the men's one-piece dress of the present invention to urinate into a urinal in a toilet. The opening mechanism, such as a zipper, may be configured to be visible from the outside. However, unlike in the second embodiment described below, if it is only located near the front of the crotch area, the opening may be configured with double-layered fabric to conceal the zipper from the outside, similar to the zip fly on men's pants. Furthermore, it is preferable to configure the opening so that it is concealed from the outside that the opening and closing mechanism is only located in the crotch area. For example, a dummy seam of the double-layered fabric may be provided all the way to the hem of the skirt. In the drawings of this specification, the zip fly is simply indicated by a thick line, but this includes both the case where the fabric is double-layered so that the opening and closing part is not visible from the outside, as described above, and the case where it is visible from the outside.

[0039] The zip fly that hides the zipper may be constructed in the same way as men's pants, with the double-layered fabric that hides the opening on the left side of the opening (the left side as seen from the wearer) so that it can be easily opened with the right hand, or the fabric may be reversed. The latter construction (the double-layered fabric that hides the opening on the right side of the opening) is more preferable because it conforms to the fabric construction of the openings of general women's clothing.

[0040] Although it is called a "zipper," it is not limited to an opening and closing mechanism using a zipper, but also includes structures that open and close using button fastening, snap button fastening, hook fastening, or the like. When using a zipper, it may be opened by sliding it from top to bottom, or vice versa. <Effects of Embodiment 1>

[0041] The men's one-piece dress of this embodiment does not have a full bust area like women's one-piece dresses, so it fits the body when worn by a man and prevents the dress from touching the urinal when urinating in a toilet. In addition, by providing a zipper for men to urinate while standing, a man wearing the men's one-piece dress of the present invention can easily urinate in a urinal in a men's restroom. <Outline of Embodiment 2> Mainly Claim 4

[0042] The men's one-piece dress of the present invention, which is based on the first embodiment, is configured so that it can be opened and closed all the way to the bottom of the hem.

[0043] The second embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 5 and 6. Figs. 5 and 6 are front views of examples 1 and 2 of the men's one-piece dress according to the second embodiment. <Embodiment 2: Zipper>

[0044] The fastener (0505) of this embodiment 2 (as mentioned above, buttons, snap buttons, hook and loop fasteners, hooks, etc. can also be used instead of just fasteners) is configured to be openable and closable down to the bottom edge of the hem.

[0045] The zipper of the second embodiment described below may be configured so that it cannot be seen directly from the outside by doubling up the fabric around the zipper, similar to the zip fly described in the first embodiment.

[0046] "Openable all the way to the bottom of the hem" means a zipper that extends all the way to the bottom of the hem (see Figure 5), or a slit that runs from the bottom of the zipper in the front crotch area to the bottom in the center front (see Figure 6). In the former case, it is preferable for the zipper to open by sliding it upward from the bottom. In the case of a top-opening type, the zipper should be configured so that when opened all the way to the bottom of the hem, the zipper separates into left and right halves, separating the bottom of the hem into left and right halves.

[0047] In the latter structure (FIG. 6), a zipper longer than that of the first embodiment may be used. For example, a zipper may extend up to above the knee, with a slit extending from below the knee to the hem. In this case, the zipper can be configured to open from either the top or bottom. It is preferable to have the zipper extend above the knee, where it can be easily reached when standing, or below the knee, where it can be reached by leaning forward slightly, with the slit extending from below that to the bottom edge of the hem. This is because the zipper can be opened and closed easily, and the slit makes it easier to walk in a long skirt that reaches down to the ankles.

[0048] The zipper of this embodiment 2 can be configured without a double-layered structure that hides the opening and closing part from the outside. If the zipper is not only provided in the front of the crotch area but also extends to the knee or the bottom edge of the hem, it may be perceived by others as a design element rather than a part used for excretion.

[0049] The reason for providing a zipper at the front of the skirt portion that can be opened and closed all the way to the bottom of the hem as described above is explained below. Urinals installed in men's restrooms are positioned so that the bottom of the bowl, which receives urine, protrudes toward the urinal user and is positioned between the user's legs to prevent urine from spilling onto the floor (see Figure 3). When a man wearing the men's one-piece dress of the present invention approaches the urinal, if the front hem is long, it may get caught on the protruding part of the bowl. Alternatively, if the zipper is only located in front of the crotch area and there is no slit extending to the hem, urine may get on the front of the skirt portion. Alternatively, splashes of liquid may adhere to the skirt portion during urination (example of a splashed area: gray area in Figure 3). This is because the hip portion is configured to be fuller than the waist portion, so the hem tends to be wider than the hip portion. Additionally, because men have less fullness in the hips (behind the hips) than women, if a skirt is considered to be roughly conical, the conical skirt of a woman will be pulled by the fullness of the hips, causing the skirt to tilt backward. On the other hand, a conical skirt of a man will spread out almost symmetrically from front to back, so the front hem of a man's skirt will tend to spread out more forward than a woman's.

[0050] To solve these problems, a zipper (which may include a partial slit) is provided in the front center that can be opened and closed all the way to the bottom of the hem, preventing the hem from coming into contact with the toilet bowl during excretion and keeping the skirt fabric away from the path of excreted urine and splashing droplets. Conventionally, when wearing a skirt (or one-piece dress) without a zipper, excretion could only be performed by pulling up the hem and exposing the legs up to the crotch, or by using a private room, but the configuration of this embodiment 2 allows for comfortable excretion. <Effects>

[0051] The men's one-piece dress of the present invention, having the above-mentioned configuration, is a men's one-piece dress of a specified size for the expected physique of the user, has no bust, a chest circumference that is 100% to 120% of the expected chest circumference of the user, a waist circumference that is narrower than the chest circumference, and is equipped with a zipper for the user to urinate while standing. Because it does not have a bust area like women's one-piece dresses, it fits the body when worn by a man and prevents the dress from touching the urinal when relieving oneself in a restroom. Furthermore, the provision of a zip fly allows a man wearing the men's one-piece dress of the present invention to easily urinate at a urinal in a men's restroom.
