[0007] SUMMARY

[0008] However, in the above-mentioned patent document 1, a button needs to be added to the sleeve to maintain the shape of the outward folding, which increases the garment manufacturing process; at the same time, when subjected to external pressure, the button can cause harm to the human body. In patent document 2, although the glue layer is used instead of sewing and accessories to fix, the three-layer structure formed after folding makes the sleeve opening thicker, not light and breathable; and the glue layer limits the stretch of the fabric at this part, which is not suitable for garments made of elastic fabric.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] First, the present application will be described with reference to the case where the garment is a short-sleeved shirt and the opening portion is a sleeve opening. As shown in the partial external view of the sleeve of Fig. 1, the sleeve includes a garment body 1 and a sleeve opening as an opening portion 2, and the opening portion 2 has a three-layer fabric folded region formed by folding the body fabric. Note that the garment body 1 indicates different regions depending on the opening portion. For example, when the opening portion 2 is a sleeve opening, the garment body 1 indicates a sleeve; when the opening portion 2 is a leg opening, the garment body 1 indicates a leg; and when the opening portion 2 is a hem, the garment body 1 indicates a body. As shown in the external partial view of Fig. 1, the opening portion 2 and the garment body form a clear boundary. The opening portion according to the present application has a three-layer fabric folded region formed by folding the body fabric, and is integrally formed, has a simple manufacturing method, a straight shape, is less likely to deform, and is aesthetically pleasing.

[0030] Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of the present application, which is a cross-sectional view observed from a direction perpendicular to the opening line. The upper side of the dotted line in Fig. 2 is the garment body 1, and the lower side of the dotted line is the opening part 2. As shown in Fig. 2, the folding manner of the three-layer fabric folding area is similar to the "accordion fold" in paper folding, which is folded inward and outward like a fan, forming a continuous first fabric layer 3, a second fabric layer 4 and a third fabric layer 5, which form an N shape. In different folding sequences, i.e. according to the sequence of inward folding and outward folding, the N shape can be an inverted N shape as shown in Fig. 2(a), or a normal N shape as shown in Fig. 2(b). In the structure shown in Fig. 2, in order to maintain the multi-layer structure of the opening part without deformation, adhesive is applied between the first fabric layer 3 and the second fabric layer 4 and / or between the second fabric layer 4 and the third fabric layer 5. When the folding manner is as shown in Fig. 2(b), Fig. 3(b), Fig. 4(b) and Fig. 5(b), in order to prevent the upward folding structure located on the outside of the garment from being lifted, it is preferred to apply adhesive between the first fabric layer 3 and the second fabric layer 4, and the adhesive is preferably a dot adhesive. Through this folding manner, the opening part 2 and the garment body 1 form a clear three-dimensional hierarchical structure, which is particularly suitable for cases where the fabric of the opening part 2 and the garment body 1 needs to be consistent, which not only reflects the design sense but also avoids the fabric overlapping area being too wide, thereby improving the air permeability and comfort of the opening part 2.

[0031] As shown in Fig. 2, the first fabric layer 3 is located between the dotted line and the first folding line 8, the second fabric layer 4 is located between the first folding line 8 and the second folding line 9, and the third fabric layer 5 extends vertically to the opening line 7. The fabric end in Fig. 2 is not folded again, so the opening line 7 here coincides with the fabric end 6.

[0032] In order to reduce the problems such as fraying and thread coming off of the fabric end 6 of the opening part 2 during wearing, and to improve the durability and aesthetics of the garment, it is preferred to fold the fabric end of the opening part 2 once, as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, to form a folding part 11. The folding part 11 is fixed to the third fabric layer 5 via the adhesive 10. After being folded once, the third fabric layer 5 refers to the part between the second folding line 9 and the opening line 7, and the folding part 11 refers to the part between the opening line 7 and the fabric end 6.

[0033] The folding direction of the fabric end of the opening part 2 is not limited in the present application, which can be folded inward (as shown in Fig. 3) or outward (as shown in Fig. 4). However, when the fabric end 6 of the opening part 2 after folding is located on the inside of the garment, the fabric end 6 is prone to cause skin friction problems, reducing the wearing comfort; and when the fabric end 6 is located on the outside of the garment, the aesthetics of the garment is reduced.

[0034] In view of the foregoing, the present application further preferably folds the fabric end of the opening portion 2 toward the second fabric layer 4 side, and clamps the fabric end 6 between the second fabric layer 4 and the third fabric layer 5, as shown in Fig. 5. In this way, the problems of friction, thread separation, etc. caused by exposure of the fabric end 6 can be avoided, and the fabric end 6 can be fixed at the same time as the three-layer fabric folded region is fixed, reducing the production process and improving processing efficiency.

[0035] When fixing the folded portion 11 and the third fabric layer 5 by the adhesive 10, the adhesive 10 can be applied only in the vicinity of the fabric end 6, as shown in Figs. 3-5, or can be applied over the entire folded portion 11. Depending on the requirements for the opening portion 2, if the opening portion 2 needs to have a higher stiffness, the adhesive 10 can be applied over the entire folded portion 11; if the opening portion 2 needs to maintain the softness and breathability of the fabric itself, the adhesive 10 can be applied only in the vicinity of the fabric end 6, which can also effectively reduce costs. Compared with a thread, the use of an adhesive for fixation does not form a hole on the surface of the garment, and does not have the problems of wear and tear, shedding, and deformation, and can improve the durability of the garment.

[0036] The appearance of the opening portion 2 is mainly affected by the three-layer fabric folded region. In order to avoid the thickness of the opening portion 2 being too large, the width of the second fabric layer 4 in the direction perpendicular to the opening line is preferably less than the width of the third fabric layer 5. Specifically, the width of the second fabric layer 4 is preferably 4-7 mm. If the width of the second fabric layer 4 is small, the amount of adhesive applied is reduced, and the second fabric layer 4 and the third fabric layer 5 are not firmly attached, which can cause problems of delamination and edge separation during wear.

[0037] In order to present the beauty and comfort of the garment, the width of the opening portion 2 (i.e. the width of the third fabric layer 5 in the direction perpendicular to the opening line) is preferably 2.0-5.0 cm, and can be adapted to different garment styles according to the texture of the body fabric used and the design of the garment.

[0038] For the adhesive 10, the adhesive used is preferably a dot-shaped adhesive, which does not affect the stretchability of the fabric of the opening portion, and can reduce the amount of adhesive applied and reduce costs while ensuring bonding strength. The shape can be circular, but is not limited thereto. The adhesive 10 can be arranged linearly as shown in Fig. 6, or can be arranged non-linearly, such as triangular, quadrangular, elliptical, etc. geometric shapes, or combinations thereof. In view of the convenience of production operation, bonding strength, and stiffness of the garment, the adhesive 10 is preferably arranged in a straight line along the length direction of the opening portion.

[0039] The size of the point-like adhesive 10 varies depending on the weave and thickness of the cloth constituting 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 a thin cloth, the adhesive 10 can sometimes be visible on the surface side of the cloth, which can impair the appearance, and thus it is preferable to be smaller within a range in which the desired adhesive strength is obtained. 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 an underwear cloth having a thickness of about 0.5 mm to 0.8 mm, and thus it 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 a thinner cloth having a thickness of about 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm, and thus it 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 interval of the adhesives 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 attached to the end of the cloth is substantially the same as the diameter, but when it is fixed, it penetrates into the cloth, and thus it does not affect the thickness of the garment 1. The distance between the point-like adhesives 10 can be appropriately selected based on the type of the adhesive, the material of the cloth, and the like, according to the desired joining strength.

[0040] In the three-layered cloth folding region of the opening portion 2 in the present application, the first cloth layer 3 is preferably located as the innermost layer close to the human body, as shown in FIG. 2(b), FIG. 3(b), FIG. 4(b), and FIG. 5(b). The preferred opening portion is softer, fits the human body better, and has a more layered appearance and a simpler and more elegant design compared to other folding methods.

[0041] The structure in which the opening portion is a cuff is shown in FIG. 1, but the present application is not limited thereto, and the opening portion of the garment of the present application can be provided at a position through which the human body passes in the garment, such as a cuff, a foot opening, a lower hem of the garment, and the like.

[0042] The method for determining whether the opening portion deforms or comes off after washing, which is involved in the embodiment of the present application, is washed 5 times according to the washing method described in the standard JIS L1930 C4M method, and is dried at a low temperature of 60°C, and the appearance is observed.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, "inner" refers to the side facing the skin when the garment is worn, and "outer" refers to the side opposite to the skin when the garment is worn, that is, the side opposite to the "inner".
