DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present application will be specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] 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 figure is an example of a short-sleeved shirt, and has an opening 2 (neckline) for passing a head, an opening 3 (sleeve opening) for passing an arm, and an opening 4 (hem) for passing a torso.

[0026] Figure 4 is a schematic representation of the cross-sectional structure of the opening portion of one embodiment of the present application, the end of the body fabric 5 is folded to form a folded portion 6. The folded portion 6 can be directly attached to the body fabric 5 via adhesive 8 as shown in Figure 4(a), or an elastic band 9 can be provided between the folded portion 6 and the body fabric 5, the elastic band 9 being attached to the folded portion 6 by adhesive 8 as shown in Figure 4(b). The main function of the elastic band 9 is to improve the resilience of the opening portion, in addition to being fixed inside the folded portion 6 by adhesive 8, the elastic band 9 can also be placed freely inside the folded portion 6 without the use of adhesive or other fixing means. When folding, the end of the body fabric 5 can be folded inwards (i.e. towards the skin side) or outwards. A strip-shaped attachment fabric 7 is attached to the folded portion 6, the strip-shaped attachment fabric 7 covers the end of the folded portion 6 and is attached to both the folded portion 6 and the body fabric 5 by adhesive 8. When the end of the body fabric 5 is folded inwards, the folded portion 6 is located on the inside of the garment, at this time the strip-shaped attachment fabric 7 is attached to the inside of the garment and covers the fabric end of the folded portion 6; when the end of the body fabric 5 is folded outwards, the folded portion 6 is located on the outside of the garment, at this time the strip-shaped attachment fabric 7 is attached to the outside of the garment and covers the fabric end of the folded portion 6.

[0027] It should be noted that the configuration of one opening portion on the garment can be as shown in Figure 4, or the configuration of multiple or all openings can be as shown in Figure 4.

[0028] The width of the folded portion 6 is determined according to the adhesive strength of the folded portion 6 and the influence on the appearance. If the width of the folded portion 6 is too small, the adhesive strength will be insufficient and the edges will be prone to curling, reducing the comfort of wearing and the appearance of the garment. Therefore, the width of the folded portion 6 is generally preferably greater than 2 mm.

[0029] Based on the position of the opening portion or the design of the garment, a part of the opening portion can be composed of a pattern with varying curvature, such as a U-shaped neckline, a wavy irregular hem, etc. In the opening portion with varying curvature, the folded portion 6 has an inside-outside perimeter difference, i.e. the length at the fold line is different from the length of the fabric end of the folded portion 6. In the case where the width of the folded portion 6 is uniform, the smaller the radius of curvature, the greater the inside-outside perimeter difference; that is, in the case where the radius of curvature is uniform, the greater the width of the folded portion 6, the greater the inside-outside perimeter difference. The greater the inside-outside perimeter difference, the more prone to wrinkling of the opening portion. In order to reduce the occurrence of the aforementioned wrinkles, it is generally necessary to make the width of the folded portion 6 at the minimum radius of curvature smaller, and the present application preferably has a width of 2-25 mm at the minimum radius of curvature of the folded portion 6, more preferably 5-10 mm.

[0030] Figure 2(a) shows a curvature variation diagram of a U-shaped neckline, wherein the a section, the c section and the e section are straight lines, which can be regarded as a curvature radius of positive infinity; wherein the b section and the d section are curves with varying curvature radius. Figure 2(a) also specifically shows the points of the maximum curvature radius (r1) and the minimum curvature radius (r2) on the b section and the d section. In order to reduce the occurrence of wrinkles at the minimum curvature radius, the width of the folding portion 6 at this position is preferably 2-25 mm, and more preferably 5-10 mm. The width of the folding portion 6 at other positions with a curvature radius greater than the minimum curvature radius and the straight line can be the same as the width of the folding portion 6 at the minimum curvature radius, or the folding distance at these positions can be appropriately increased, thereby increasing the bonding strength and making the folding portion 6 less likely to crack. Therefore, the width of the folding portion 6 at other positions (except all positions at the minimum curvature radius) of the opening portion is preferably 2-30 mm, and more preferably 5-15 mm, corresponding to the range of the width of the folding portion 6 at the minimum curvature radius.

[0031] When testing the width of the folding portion 6, the width of the folding portion 6 refers to the length of the folding portion 6 measured perpendicular to the straight line direction of the opening portion when the opening portion is a straight line, and refers to the length of the folding portion 6 measured perpendicular to the tangent direction of the arc at the test point when the opening portion is an arc.

[0032] In a more preferred technical solution, the width of the folding portion 6 is adjusted so that the curvature of the folding portion 6 is consistent with the curvature of the opening portion of the garment body, thereby making the folding portion 6 perfectly fit the body fabric 5.

[0033] It should be noted that if there are multiple opening portions on the garment with varying curvature radii, the width of the folding portion 6 of each opening portion does not need to be consistent, and can be arbitrarily selected within a suitable range according to the position and requirements of the opening portion.

[0034] The folding portion 6 also has a strip-shaped fitting fabric 7 attached thereto, and the strip-shaped fitting fabric 7 is attached to the folding portion 6 and the body fabric 5 at the same time through the adhesive 8. Through the use of the strip-shaped fitting fabric 7, the end of the folding portion 6 can be prevented from generating burrs, the strength of the opening portion can be enhanced, and the deformation of the opening portion and the burrs of the folding portion can be covered. At the same time, the addition of the strip-shaped fitting fabric 7 makes the opening portion have a certain thickness, making the garment more visually appealing.

[0035] According to the design of the garment, the material and color of the main body fabric, a suitable strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 can be selected. The shape of the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 can be a rectangle with two straight long sides, or a flower shape with one or two curved and / or folded long sides. The material and color of the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 can be the same as or different from the main body fabric 5. For example, when the main body fabric 5 is an elastic fabric, the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 is also preferably an elastic fabric. Sometimes, in order to highlight the collar, a strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 with a high color contrast with the main body fabric 5 can be selected. In most cases, in order to maintain the overall consistency of the garment, the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 is preferably the same as the main body fabric 5.

[0036] The strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 at the opening can be one or multiple. As shown in FIG. 2(b), when the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 is arranged at a V-shaped front collar with a large shape change, a single strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 will produce wrinkles when bent at the bottom of the V shape, affecting the appearance, so two strip-shaped attaching fabrics 7 can be selected to be attached to the folded part 6 of the V-shaped front collar, and the lengthwise ends of the two strip-shaped attaching fabrics 7 can be designed as right trapezoids, and the two corners at the bottom of the V-shaped collar are connected to each other. For openings with more radians such as U-shaped collars, multiple strip-shaped attaching fabrics 7 can also be used, as shown in FIG. 2(a), segments a, c and e can use straight strip-shaped attaching fabrics 7, and segments b and d can use arc-shaped strip-shaped attaching fabrics 7 with the same radian, thereby avoiding wrinkles caused by the bending of the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7.

[0037] FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing one embodiment of the arrangement of the adhesive 8 on the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7. Since the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 needs to cover and be attached to the end of the folded part 6, at least two rows of adhesive 8 are arranged on the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 along the length direction of the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7, and the spacing between the two rows of adhesive 8 is preferably within 1 mm. In order to prevent the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 from being raised, causing poor appearance of the garment, friction of the skin, etc., the distance between the adhesive 8 and the edge of the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 is also preferably within 2 mm, more preferably within 1 mm.

[0038] Therefore, the lower limit of the width of the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 is preferably 5 mm. If the width of the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 is too large, it will affect the appearance of the opening. According to the width of the folded part at the opening, the upper limit of the width of the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 is preferably 30 mm. In order to save fabric and adhesive while not affecting the bonding strength of the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7, the width of the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 is more preferably 10-20 mm.

[0039] The width of the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 is measured in the same way as the folding part 6. When the lengthwise fabric end of the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 is linear, the width of the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 refers to the length of the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 measured perpendicularly to the linear direction of the opening part. When the lengthwise fabric end of the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 is arcuate, the width of the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 refers to the length of the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 measured perpendicularly to the tangent of the arc at the test point.

[0040] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram showing one embodiment of the arrangement of the adhesive 8 when the folding part 6 is attached to the body fabric 5. When the width of the folding part 6 at the position of the greatest change in curvature is at the lower limit of the preferred range of 2 mm, in order to maintain the bonding strength between the folding part 6 and the body fabric 5, the distance between the adhesive 8 and the fabric end of the folding part 6 is preferably within 1 mm. The distance between the adhesive 8 and the fabric end of the folding part 6 refers to the minimum distance between the edge of the fabric end of the folding part 6 closest to the adhesive 8 and the fabric end of the folding part 6.

[0041] The shape of the adhesive 8 according to the present application, including the adhesive 8 attaching the folding part 6 to the body fabric 5 and the adhesive 8 attaching the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 to the folding part 6 and the body fabric 5, can be point-like, linear or planar with a certain width. However, considering that the more adhesive is used, the stiffer and less elastic the fabric after bonding, which affects the comfort of the garment, the shape of the adhesive 8 according to the present application is preferably point-like.

[0042] In order to ensure the strength of the point-like adhesive, the diameter of the point-like adhesive is preferably 0.5-3.0 mm. If the diameter of the point-like adhesive is too small, the bonding strength is low and the bonding firmness is poor; if the diameter of the point-like adhesive is too large, although the bonding strength is high, it also affects the hand feeling of the garment. The diameter of the point-like adhesive according to the present application is more preferably 1-2 mm, and most preferably 1 mm±0.5 mm.

[0043] Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 are schematic diagrams showing one embodiment of the distance between the point-like adhesives 8. d1 in Fig. 5 represents the distance between two adjacent point-like adhesives 8 along the length direction of the folded portion 6, and d2 in Fig. 6 represents the distance between the point-like adhesive 8 on the strip-like attached fabric 7 and the edge of the strip-like attached fabric 7. The distance between the two adjacent point-like adhesives 8 refers to the distance between the center points of the point-like adhesives 8, and when the point-like adhesive 8 is an irregular figure, the center of the smallest circumscribed circle of the figure is regarded as the center point of the point-like adhesive 8. The distance between the point-like adhesive 8 and the edge of the strip-like attached fabric 7 refers to the smallest distance between the point-like adhesive 8 closest to the edge of the strip-like attached fabric 7 and the edge of the strip-like attached fabric 7. When the value of d1 is too large, a cavity is generated when the folded portion 6 is bonded to the body fabric 5, resulting in poor appearance of the opening portion and low bonding strength. Therefore, the distance d1 is preferably 5 mm or less, and more preferably 1 to 3 mm. In order to maintain the bonding strength of the strip-like attached fabric 7, d2 is preferably within 1 mm.

[0044] It should be noted that d1 is applicable not only to the distribution of the point-like adhesive 8 when the folded portion 6 is bonded to the body fabric 5, but also to the distribution of the point-like adhesive 8 when the strip-like attached fabric 7 is bonded to the folded portion 6 and the body fabric 5.

[0045] In the actual bonding operation, the adhesive 8 can be first arranged on the folded portion 6 or on the body fabric 5. Depending on the arrangement accuracy of the adhesive 8 and the width of the folded portion 6, if the adhesive 8 is first arranged on the body fabric 5, it can be difficult to reliably bond the body fabric 5 and the folded portion 6, or the adhesive can exceed the folding distance, and the like. Therefore, it is preferable that the adhesive 8 be first arranged on the folded portion 6.

[0046] In the present application, as the resin constituting the adhesive 8 used in clothing, a synthetic resin is preferable compared to a natural resin, and a thermoplastic resin is more preferable. 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, polyether sulfone, polyether ether ketone, polyimide, polyamide-imide, and the like, any resin formed of a high molecular compound can be used without particular limitation, and various resins can be used.

[0047] It is preferable that the resin constituting the adhesive 8 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 bonding site, and after cooling and solidification, it reacts with the surrounding moisture, thereby crosslinking, and an excellent bonding structure having heat resistance, solvent resistance, and washing resistance, and the like can be formed.

[0048] The present application will be further described in detail based on specific examples below.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] In the design of the U-shaped neckline shown in Fig. 2(a), the a-section, c-section and e-section are straight lines, and in the curved b-section and d-section, the radius of curvature varies. The width of the fold 6 in the a-section, c-section and e-section is set to 8 mm, and in the b-section and d-section, the width of the fold 6 at the point of minimum radius of curvature is 5 mm. From the point of minimum radius of curvature to the transition section between the straight a-section, c-section and e-section, the width of the fold 6 gradually increases until it reaches 8 mm at the point of connection with the straight a-section, c-section and e-section. As shown in Fig. 6, the point adhesive 8 with a diameter of 1 mm is applied 1 mm from the fabric end of the fold 6, and the interval between adjacent two points is 2 mm. The distance between the point adhesive 8 and the fold line is 1 mm. Then, folding is performed according to the predetermined fold width, and high-temperature heating is used to bond the fold 6 with the body fabric 5.

[0051] A strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 with a width of 15 mm is selected, and a point adhesive 8 with a diameter of 1 mm is applied on the attaching side, 1 mm from the end of the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7. The strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 covers the fabric end of the fold 6 and does not exceed the fold line, and high-temperature heating is used to bond the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 to the fold 6 and the body fabric 5.

[0052] The front piece and the back piece with the U-shaped neckline shown in Fig. 2(a) are designed in the same way, and then the front piece and the back piece are connected at the shoulder line, thereby completing the U-shaped neckline of the present application, as shown in Fig. 7. From the front of the garment, the U-shaped neckline is flat and smooth without any protrusions, and the touch is good.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] The V-shaped neckline shown in Fig. 2(b) is folded after cutting the fabric vertically downward at the bottom of the V, so that the width of the fold 6 is 8 mm. The point adhesive 8 applied on the fold 6 and the attaching method are the same as in Example 1.

[0055] Two strip-shaped attaching fabrics 7 with a width of 12 mm are selected, and the lengthwise ends of the strip-shaped attaching fabrics 7 are cut according to the shape of the V-neck bottom and the shoulder line, so that the two strip-shaped attaching fabrics 7 are completely connected when attached. The point adhesive 8 applied on the strip-shaped attaching fabric 7 and the attaching method are the same as in Example 1.

[0056] The front piece and the back piece with the V-shaped neckline shown in Fig. 2(b) are designed in the same way, and then the front piece and the back piece are connected at the shoulder line, thereby completing the V-shaped neckline of the present application. From the front of the garment, the V-shaped neckline is flat and smooth without any protrusions, and the touch is good.

[0057] Example 3

[0058] As shown in Fig. 3(a), the cuff part is straight and uniformly folded. The width of the folded part 6 is 11 mm. A point-shaped adhesive 8 with a diameter of 1 mm is applied at a position 1 mm away from the end of the fabric 1 along the folded part 6. The interval between two adjacent points is 3 mm. The distance between the point-shaped adhesive 8 and the folding line is 1 mm. Then, the folding is performed according to the predetermined folding width. High temperature heating is used to bond the folded part 6 and the body fabric 5.

[0059] A strip-shaped folding fabric 7 with a width of 14 mm is selected. A point-shaped adhesive 8 with a diameter of 1 mm is applied at a position 1 mm away from the end of the strip-shaped folding fabric 7. The strip-shaped folding fabric 7 covers the end of the folded part 6 and does not exceed the folding line. High temperature heating is used to bond the strip-shaped folding fabric 7, the folded part 6 and the body fabric 5.

[0060] Finally, the cuff line is fixed to form a cuff as shown in Fig. 3(b). From the front of the garment, the cuff is flat without protrusion and has good contact feeling.

[0061] Example 4

[0062] The folded part 6 is uniformly folded. The width of the folded part 6 is 8 mm. A strip-shaped folding fabric 7 with a width of 15 mm is used. When the folding fabric 7 is attached, the folding fabric 7 is bent at the b section and the d section. Other parts are the same as those in Example 1 to obtain a U-shaped collar. From the front of the garment, the U-shaped collar has a slight protrusion at the position with smaller curvature radius and has a slight foreign body feeling.

[0063] The above describes the embodiments of the present application, but the above embodiments are proposed as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the application. The above new embodiments and modifications can be implemented in other various ways, and various omissions, substitutions, changes, combinations can be made without departing from the scope of the application.
