[0006] SUMMARY

[0007] However, the above-mentioned collar opening seam uses high elasticity fabric to fit, which makes the collar opening seam thick, and there is also a height difference between the collar and the body, which cannot completely fit the skin. Moreover, the edge of the high elasticity fabric may produce burrs, thread falling and other problems, increasing the friction with the skin, reducing the wearing comfort and aesthetics. In addition, the separate fitting of high elasticity fabric increases the process, which may lead to the increase of the manufacturing cost of the garment.

[0008] The present application is made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the purpose is to provide a garment with low cost, simple manufacturing, light and comfortable, and good durability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the drawings are merely schematic.

[0029] Fig. 1 is a diagram schematically showing the appearance of a garment to which the present application is applied. The garment 1 shown in the diagram is an example of a short-sleeved undergarment, and has an opening for passing the head, arms, and torso, a collar-facing fabric 2 provided at the collar, a sleeve-facing fabric 3 provided at the sleeve, and a hem-facing fabric 4 provided at the hem.

[0030] Fig. 2 is a diagram schematically showing the cross-sectional structure of an opening in one embodiment of the present application. The facing fabric is joined to the body fabric 5 at a joining portion 7, and the facing fabric is folded toward the skin side, thereby forming an inner fold 8 on the inside of the garment close to the skin and an outer fold 6 on the outside of the garment. Specifically, from the joining portion 7 to a fold line 12 is the outer fold 6, and from the fold line 12 to the fabric end 9 of the inner fold is the inner fold 8. The fabric end 9 of the inner fold exceeds the joining portion 7, and the inner fold 8 is attached to the outer fold 6 and the body fabric 5 via an adhesive 10. Note that the garment can have one opening as shown in Fig. 2, or a plurality of or all of the openings can be as shown in Fig. 2. Meanwhile, the garment to which the present application is applied is applicable not only to various tops but also to lower garments, socks, and the like for openings for passing the legs.

[0031] The present application does not particularly limit the specific joining method of the joining portion 7, and any of sewing, heat-pressing, or adhesive bonding can be used. The sewing refers to joining the facing fabric and the body fabric 5 together with a sewing thread. The heat-pressing refers to fusing the facing fabric and the body fabric 5 together by friction or energy. The heat-pressing can be ultrasonic joining, vibration welding, or laser welding. The adhesive bonding refers to attaching the facing fabric and the body fabric 5 together with a tape or hot melt adhesive.

[0032] The body fabric 5 and the facing fabric are joined by any of the above-described methods, and then the inner fold 8 covers the joining portion 7, so that the joining of the joining portion 7 is more robust and less likely to be torn, and the joining portion 7 is prevented from directly contacting the skin, thereby improving the wearing comfort.

[0033] The joining portion 7 obtained by the heat-pressing has substantially no overlapping fabric compared with other joining methods, and the opening has only two layers of fabric, which is more flat and close to the body, and thus the wearing comfort is improved, and thus the heat-pressing is preferred.

[0034] The present application folds the facing fabric toward the skin side, and the inner fold 8 covers the joining portion 7 and is attached to the body fabric 5 and the outer fold 6, so that the end of the facing fabric is prevented from being exposed to cause fraying and loose threads, and the joining portion 7 is prevented from peeling, thereby improving the durability of the opening.

[0035] In order to further avoid the problems of burr and thread off of the fabric end 9 of the inner turning part, the fabric end 9 of the inner turning part is further preferably folded twice towards the body fabric 5 and is attached to the body fabric 5 by an adhesive, which can be arranged on one side of the fabric after the second folding or on both sides of the fabric after the second folding, as shown in Figs. 3(a) and 3(b). In order not to affect the wearing and comfort of the garment, the fabric end 9 of the inner turning part is preferably not more than the joint part 7 after being folded towards the body fabric 5.

[0036] In order to present the beauty and wearing comfort of the garment, the width m of the outer turning part 6 of the garment is also different. When the opening part is a collar, m is preferably 0.5-2.0 cm; when the opening part is a sleeve opening or a leg opening, m is preferably 0.5-2.5 cm, more preferably 1.0-1.5 cm; when the opening part is a hem, m is preferably more than 0.5 cm, more preferably 1.0-2.0 cm. It should be noted that when measuring, m is the distance between the folding line 12 and the center point of the joint part 7, as shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 6.

[0037] For the attachment relationship between the inner turning part 8 and the body fabric 5, the distance between the fabric end 9 of the inner turning part and the center point of the joint part 7 is preferably 4.0-9.0 mm. If the distance between the fabric end 9 of the inner turning part and the center point of the joint part 7 is too narrow, the attachment between the inner turning part 8 and the body fabric 5 is not firm, which cannot effectively prevent the peeling of the joint part 7 and improve the service durability. If the distance between the fabric end 9 of the inner turning part and the center point of the joint part 7 is too wide, after the effect of preventing the peeling of the joint part 7 reaches the maximum, only the amount of attached fabric and adhesive is increased, the cost is increased, the skin-friendly feeling and air permeability of the part are reduced, and the beauty of the garment is affected.

[0038] The fabric constituting a garment can be the same or different according to the needs of the part. For example, the under sleeve of a shirt and the side of trousers can separately use a mesh fabric to be more breathable, the waist and the bottom of the trousers use a fabric with better elasticity to improve the wearing comfort, etc. to adapt to different appearances and functions. The body fabric 5 in the present application refers to the fabric at the joint of the attached fabric and the garment 1. Specifically, for example, when the opening part is a collar, the body fabric 5 is the fabric at the collar; when the opening part is a sleeve opening, the body fabric 5 is the fabric of the sleeve; when the opening part is a hem, the body fabric 5 is the fabric of the main body; when the opening part is a leg opening, the body fabric 5 is the fabric of the leg.

[0039] The fitting fabric of the present application can be the same as the body fabric 5, visually maintaining the consistency of the overall garment, and also reducing the cost. Depending on the design of the garment, the fitting fabric can also be different from the body fabric 5 when highlighting the opening part is needed. The fitting fabric of each opening part can also be different according to the needs of the position set, so as to obtain the desired appearance or function.

[0040] In order to make the garment present proper elasticity, it is preferred that the body fabric 5 and the fitting fabric are both elastic fabrics, improving the wearing comfort.

[0041] The inner turning part 8 of the present application is attached together with the body fabric 5 and the outer turning part 6 by the adhesive 10, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 6. The coating form of the adhesive 10 is circular, but is not limited thereto, as long as the shape of the adhesive is repeatedly provided in a separated state.

[0042] FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing the adhesive attached to the inner turning part 8. The adhesive used is preferably a dot-shaped adhesive, which neither affects the stretchability of the fabric, nor reduces the amount of coating, reduces the cost, on the premise of ensuring the bonding strength. The adhesive 10 is arranged in an array in the surface direction of the inner turning part 8, and is not necessarily arranged in a linear arrangement as shown in FIG. 4, but can also be arranged in a non-linear arrangement, such as a triangular, quadrangular, elliptical or other geometric shape, or a combination of these shapes. From the aspects of the convenience of production operation, bonding strength and the like, it is preferred that the adhesive 10 is arranged in a straight line along the long direction of the opening part.

[0043] When the adhesive 10 is the preferred dot-shaped adhesive, the distance between the arbitrary adhesives 10 is preferably 1-8 mm. If the distance is too small, the amount of coating is high, and the cost is increased; if the distance is too large, most of the fabric of the inner turning part 8 cannot be covered, and the uncoated part can produce cavities, bulges, affecting the appearance of the garment. In order to reduce the problems of burrs and edge lifting of the fabric end 9 of the inner turning part, the distance between the center of the adhesive 10 closest to the fabric end 9 of the inner turning part and the fabric end 9 of the inner turning part is preferably within 1.0-1.5 mm, which can well fix the end part. If the distance between the center of the adhesive 10 closest to the fabric end 9 of the inner turning part and the fabric end 9 of the inner turning part is too small, the problem of glue exposure will occur, reducing the quality of the garment.

[0044] When the dots of the adhesive 10 are regular patterns, the distance between the dots of the adhesive 10 refers to the distance between the center points of the dot-shaped adhesive patterns; when the dots of the adhesive 10 are irregular patterns, the distance between the dots of the adhesive 10 refers to the distance between the center points of the smallest circumscribed circle of the dot-shaped adhesive patterns.

[0045] The size of the adhesive 10 dots varies depending on the weave and thickness of the cloth that makes up the garment 1. If the diameter of the adhesive 10 is about 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm, a relatively strong adhesive strength is easily obtained, but in the case of thin cloth, the adhesive 10 can sometimes be visible on the surface side of the cloth, detracting from the appearance, so it is preferable to be as small as possible within a range that achieves the desired adhesive strength. If the diameter of the adhesive 10 is 1.0 mm or less, the adhesive 10 is less likely to be visible even in the case of underwear cloth having a thickness of about 0.5 mm to 0.8 mm, so this is preferable. Furthermore, if the diameter of the adhesive 10 is 0.6 mm or less, the adhesive 10 is less likely to be visible even in the case of thinner cloth having a thickness of about 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm, so this is preferable. In the case where the diameter of the adhesive 10 is reduced and the adhesive strength is lowered, the adhesive strength can be increased by reducing the spacing of the adhesive 10. Note that in this specification, the diameter of the adhesive 10 refers to the length in the planar direction. The height of the adhesive 10 when attached to the end of the cloth is approximately the same as the diameter, but when it is fixed, it penetrates into the interior of the cloth, so it does not affect the thickness of the garment 1.

[0046] In the present application, the resin that makes up the adhesive 10 used in a garment is preferably a synthetic resin compared to a natural resin, and more preferably a thermoplastic resin. For example, in addition to polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyvinyl acetate, polyurethane, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyacrylic acid, polyamide, polyacetal, polycarbonate, polyphenylene ether, polyester, polyphenylene sulfide, polysulfone, polyethersulfone, polyether ether ketone, polyimide, polyamide-imide, and the like, any resin formed from a high molecular compound can be used without particular limitation.

[0047] It is preferable that the resin that makes up the adhesive 10 be a reactive hot melt adhesive. When the resin is a reactive hot melt adhesive, the resin softens or melts and penetrates between the structures of the adhesive portion, and after cooling and solidification, it reacts with the moisture in the surroundings, thereby crosslinking and enabling the formation of an adhesive structure that is excellent in heat resistance, solvent resistance, and the like.

[0048] When the opening portion is a neckline, the shape of the neckline is not limited, and can be any of the commonly seen V-shaped, round, square, U-shaped, straight shoulder, boat-shaped, high neckline, half-high neckline, or can be a special-shaped collar such as a ladder-shaped, pentagonal, or heart-shaped collar.

[0049] Unlike the case of the other opening portions, the shape of the neckline varies, and the attached fabric needs to be adjusted flexibly according to the shape of the neckline so that it is easier to fold and the portion of the neckline is more comfortable. For a neckline with a small radius of curvature, the width m of the outwardly folded portion 6 is more preferably 0.7 to 1.2 cm, otherwise the body fabric at the portion with a small radius of curvature is likely to wrinkle, and the specific width can be set in accordance with the elasticity of the body fabric 5, i.e., the fabric at the collar.

[0050] Fig. 5 is a photo showing the collar, Fig. 5(a) is a front view of the collar, and Fig. 5(b) is a back view of the collar.

[0051] When worn, the collar of the garment is stretched more, and some fabrics have poor elasticity after being stretched for many times, which causes the problem of loose collar. In order to solve this problem, the present application preferably sets an elastic lining 11 between the inner turning part 8 and the outer turning part 6 to improve the resilience of the collar. The elastic lining 11 is preferably attached to the attached fabric with a point-shaped adhesive 10. Specifically, the adhesive 10 can be provided on one side of the elastic lining 11, or the adhesive 10 can be applied on both sides of the elastic lining 11, as shown in Fig. 6. The material of the elastic lining 11 can be different from the usual garment fabric, such as a fabric containing rubber or other elastic resin materials.

[0052] The garment of the present application has an opening part for the body part of the wearer to pass through, which is composed of an attached fabric and a joint part for splicing the attached fabric and the body fabric together. The attached fabric is turned to the muscle side to form an inner turning part and an outer turning part, and the inner turning part is attached to the outer turning part and the body fabric via an adhesive. This design can make the opening part attach to the skin, improve the wearing comfort, and the garment has good durability, simple manufacturing, and low cost.

[0053] For other seam positions such as shoulder seams, armhole seams, side seams, pant side seams, lower hem seams, front and back darts, etc., a sewing method can be used for durability and firmness; an adhesive attachment method can be used for lightness and skin attachment; an ultrasonic splicing method can be used, and then a lining coated with an adhesive can be used for reinforcement.

[0054] The method for determining whether the fabric end 9 of the inner turning part has a raised or fuzzy edge after friction is determined according to the friction color fastness test method described in GB / T3920 2008 standard. First, cut the turning part of the sample, and the inner turning part 8 is the test surface. The surface is fixed on the friction color fastness tester with the surface facing up, the friction direction is perpendicular to the fabric end 9 of the inner turning part, and the friction time is set to 5 minutes.

[0055] Hereinafter, the present application will be further described in detail based on specific examples.

[0057] As shown in Fig. 5, prepare the body fabric 5 and the attached fabric of V-neck collar, here the body fabric 5 and the attached fabric are the same kind of fabric, the width of the attached fabric is 3.6 cm. Cut the body fabric 5 into front and back pieces, cut the attached fabric into two front collars and one back collar. Overlap and align one end of the two front collars, use ultrasonic hot melt splicing to form a V shape. In order to improve the joint strength of the two front collars, glue a 1.0 cm wide and 3.6 cm long elastic lining cloth on the bottom end of the V-shaped muscle side through point bonding. Then overlap the spliced V-shaped front collar with the collar opening of the body fabric 5, use ultrasonic hot melt 0.5 cm to form the joint part 7. Fold the attached fabric to the muscle side, the width m of the outer folding part 6 is 1.3 cm. Apply the pattern of point adhesive 10 on the inner folding part 8 as shown in Fig. 4, then fold and press, and use a common flat type hot press to bond, to get the front body of the front collar attached fabric and the front piece body fabric 5. The interval between adjacent point adhesives 10 along the length direction of the folding line 12 is 1.0 mm, and the interval between adjacent point adhesives 10 perpendicular to the length direction of the folding line 12 is 2.0 mm. At this time, the distance between the fabric end 9 of the inner folding part and the center point of the joint part 7 is 5.0 mm. The back body of the back collar attached fabric and the back piece body fabric 5 is made according to the above-mentioned method of attaching the V-shaped front collar and the body fabric 5. Finally, the front body and the back body are attached along the shoulder seam, to get the collar shown in Fig. 5. From the outside of the garment, the joint part is flat and has no protrusion, and after the friction test, the inner fabric end of the collar has no lifting and burr.
