Description

Clothes and method for manufacturing clothes

[0001] The present invention relates to clothes, particularly clothes having a hood portion that covers the head. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing clothes.

[0002] Patent Document 1 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2024 - 68644) discloses clothes having a hood portion, which are manufactured by bonding a front body member provided with a hole in a portion that hits the face and a back body member having the same outer shape as the front body member.

[0003] Such clothes can be manufactured in a relatively small number of steps, and the clothes can be manufactured efficiently and at a low cost.

[0004] Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2024 - 68644

[0005] However, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2024 - 68644) has not sufficiently considered the comfort of the wearer, and there is room for improvement from the perspective of the comfort of the wearer.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide comfortable clothes and a method for manufacturing such clothes.

[0007] The clothes of the present invention include a front body member, a back body member, and a hood cover member. The back body member forms a hood portion together with the front body member. The hood cover member is joined to the front body member in the hood portion. The hood cover member is disposed between the front body member and the back body member.

[0008] The garment manufacturing method of the present invention comprises a first conveying step, a second conveying step, a third conveying step, a hood cover sheet piece forming step, a hood cover sheet piece joining step, a through hole forming step, an overlapping step, a joining step, a crotch area forming step, and a cutting step. In the first conveying step, the front body sheet is conveyed. In the second conveying step, the back body sheet is conveyed. In the third conveying step, the hood cover sheet is conveyed. In the hood cover sheet piece forming step, hood cover sheet pieces are formed from the hood cover sheet. In the hood cover sheet piece joining step, the hood cover sheet pieces are stacked on the front body sheet at predetermined intervals in the conveying direction of the front body sheet and joined to the front body sheet. In the through hole forming step, the areas of the front body sheet where the hood cover sheet pieces are stacked are cut to form through holes. In the overlapping process, the front and back panels, to which the hood cover sheet piece is attached, are overlapped so that the hood cover sheet piece is sandwiched between the front and back panels. In the joining process, the overlapped front and back panels are partially joined together. In the crotch area formation process, the crotch area of ​​the lower garment is formed by creating a slit between the part that will become the left leg and the part that will become the right leg when the garment is made, or by trimming the area between the part that will become the left leg and the part that will become the right leg when the garment is made. In the cutting process, the partially joined front and back panels are cut, and the garment is cut out.

[0009] In the garment according to the present invention, a hood cover member separate from the front body member is provided on the side of the hood that faces the wearer's face (the part of the front body member that forms the hood and faces the wearer).

[0010] Generally, the front and back panels that make up the outer surface of clothing are required to prioritize properties such as durability and stain resistance over comfort against the skin. Therefore, if the hood portion of the front panel comes into direct contact with the wearer's face, it is highly likely to be uncomfortable.

[0011] In contrast, in the garment of the present invention, a hood cover member is provided on the surface of the hood that comes into contact with the wearer's face, which greatly affects the wearer's comfort. By using a material that feels good against the skin for the hood cover member, comfort can be improved.

[0012] Furthermore, the method for manufacturing clothing according to the present invention allows for the production of highly comfortable clothing through a relatively simple process.

[0014] The embodiments of the garment and the method for manufacturing the garment according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0015] The following embodiments are merely examples of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications can be made to the following embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as described in the claims.

[0016] (1) Overview of the garment First, an embodiment of garment 1 will be described.

[0017] In the following description of garment 1, terms such as "top," "bottom," "front," "back," "right," and "left" may be used to indicate direction or orientation. Unless otherwise specified, these expressions refer to the "top," "bottom," "front," "back," "right," and "left" of garment 1 when worn. Specifically, the top of garment 1 refers to the head side of the wearer when garment 1 is normally worn, the front of garment 1 refers to the chest (front) side of the wearer when garment 1 is normally worn, and the right side of garment 1 refers to the right arm and right leg side of the wearer when garment 1 is normally worn. The same applies to the other expressions.

[0018] Furthermore, when describing garment 1 below, terms such as "outer surface" and "inner surface" may be used. Unless otherwise specified, these expressions refer to the "outer surface" and "inner surface" of garment 1 when worn. Specifically, the inner surface refers to the side of garment 1 that faces the wearer when worn normally, and the outer surface refers to the side of garment 1 that does not face the wearer when worn normally.

[0019] A garment 1 manufactured using the garment manufacturing method according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 4.

[0020] Garment 1 is not limited to any particular use, but for example, it can be used as protective clothing during work. Although not limited to any particular use, garment 1 is, for example, disposable clothing that is discarded after use. Garment 1 has a hood portion 110 that covers the wearer from the head to around the ankles.

[0021] Garment 1 comprises, as its main components (parts that make up garment 1), a front body member 10, a back body member 20, a right sleeve member 30R, a left sleeve member 30L, a hood cover member 40, a zipper member 50, a leg elastic member 60, a waist elastic member 70, and a sleeve elastic member 80. The difference between the right sleeve member 30R and the left sleeve member 30L is that they are positioned on either the left or right side (which arm of the wearer is inserted into them), but their shape and structure are identical. In the following, when there is no particular need to distinguish between the right sleeve member 30R and the left sleeve member 30L, they may be referred to simply as sleeve member 30.

[0022] Furthermore, garment 1 includes, as parts, a hood portion 110, an upper garment portion 120, a lower garment portion 130, an opening / closing portion 140 formed on the front body member 10, a right sleeve portion 150R, and a left sleeve portion 150L.

[0023] The hood portion 110, the upper garment portion 120, and the lower garment portion 130 are mainly formed by the front body member 10 and the back body member 20. The hood portion 110 is the part that covers the wearer's head. The upper garment portion 120 is the part that covers the wearer's upper body (from the shoulders to the waist), and the lower garment portion 130 is the part that covers the wearer's lower body (from the waist to the ankles). The lower garment portion 130 includes a crotch area 130U that mainly covers from the waist to the base of the legs, and an inseam area 130D that mainly covers from the base of the legs to the ankles. The inseam area 130D is divided into left and right sections, and includes a right hem portion 130DR into which the right leg is inserted (becoming the right leg portion), and a left hem portion 130DL into which the left leg is inserted (becoming the left leg portion). The opening / closing section 140 is a slit that extends from the upper garment portion 120 of the front body member 10 to the crotch area 130U of the lower garment portion 130. The front body member 10 of the garment 1 is divided by the opening / closing section 140 into a left-side region 142L to the left of the opening / closing section 140 and a right-side region 142R to the right of the opening / closing section 140.

[0024] The right sleeve portion 150R and the left sleeve portion 150L are the parts formed by the right sleeve member 30R and the left sleeve member 30L, respectively.

[0025] Garment 1 is formed by joining a front body member 10 and a sleeve member 30 at predetermined locations, joining a back body member 20 and a sleeve member 30 at predetermined locations, and joining a front body member 10 and a back body member 20 at predetermined locations.

[0026] The materials of the front body member 10, back body member 20, and sleeve member 30 are not limited, but may include, for example, films or nonwoven fabrics made of thermoplastic resin. For example, the materials of the front body member 10, back body member 20, and sleeve member 30 may include polyethylene, polyolefin resins such as polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, nylon, etc. By using such materials, it is possible to heat-weld the front body member 10 and the back body member 20, and heat-weld the sleeve member 30. Note that the front body member 10, back body member 20, and sleeve member 30 do not need to be made of a single type of material, but may be made of a material composed of multiple materials, such as a laminate of multiple materials. For the sake of simplicity, here we will describe the manufacture of the front body member 10, back body member 20, and sleeve member 30 assuming that a single layer sheet is used.

[0027] In the garment 1 of the present invention, a hood cover member 40 is joined to the portion of the front body member 10 that forms the hood portion 110. The hood cover member 40 is provided on the inner surface of the front body member 10 that constitutes the hood portion 110. In other words, the hood cover member 40 is positioned between the front body member 10 and the back body member 20. The hood cover member 40 is a member provided for the purpose of improving the wearer's comfort.

[0028] In addition to the hood cover member 40, other members may be partially attached to the front body member 10 and the back body member 20 for the purpose of reinforcement or to improve the wearer's comfort. For example, although not limited to these, a reinforcing member made of a different material from the front body member 10 may be attached to the inner surface of the front body member 10.

[0029] (2) Details of the garment (2-1) Front body member The front body member 10 has a shape in which the part that constitutes the hood 110 (the part that covers the wearer's head) protrudes upward from the upper center of the roughly rectangular sheet, as shown in Figure 1. In addition, a notch is formed in the lower center of the roughly rectangular sheet that separates the right hem portion 130DR and the left hem portion 130DL.

[0030] The portion of the front body member 10 that forms the hood 110 is provided with a through-hole 12 for the wearer to put their face through. A hood cover member 40 is attached to the portion of the front body member 10 that forms the hood 110 (mainly around the through-hole 12). The hood cover member 40 will be described later.

[0031] The front body member 10 is provided with an opening / closing section 140 (slit) that extends vertically from the through hole 12 to the crotch area (from the upper garment portion 120 to the crotch region 130U of the lower garment portion 130). A zipper member 50, as an example of a fastener, is attached to the opening / closing section 140.

[0032] When the wearer of garment 1 opens the zipper member 50 and puts their body inside garment 1 through the opening / closing part 140, and then closes the zipper member 50, the left region 142L and the right region 142R of the front body member 10 are fastened together. As a result, garment 1 is secured to the wearer, and the entry of foreign objects into garment 1 through the opening / closing part 140 is suppressed. Note that a fastener other than the zipper member 50 (for example, a button, hook, hook-and-loop fastener, etc.) may be used to fasten the left region 142L and the right region 142R of the front body member 10.

[0033] Furthermore, a leg-circumference elastic member 60, which is stretchable in the width direction, may be attached to the portion of the front body member 10 that covers the ankle, extending roughly over its entire width (left-right direction). The leg-circumference elastic member 60 is, for example, a member in which a thread elastic is arranged between a pair of nonwoven fabrics so as to extend in the width direction. Alternatively, the leg-circumference elastic member 60 may be, for example, a sheet-like member that is stretchable in the width direction.

[0034] (2-2) Back body member The back body member 20 is a roughly rectangular sheet-like member as shown in Figure 1, and has a shape in which the part that constitutes the hood 110 (the part that covers the wearer's head) protrudes upward from the upper center of the roughly rectangular part.

[0035] As shown in Figure 2, the back body member 20 has a shape in which the portion constituting the hood 110 (the portion that covers the wearer's head) protrudes upward from the upper center of the roughly rectangular sheet. In addition, a notch is formed in the lower center of the roughly rectangular sheet, separating the right hem portion 130DR and the left hem portion 130DL.

[0036] The back panel member 20 has a shape that is generally the same as the front panel member 10, except that it does not have a through hole 12 and an opening / closing part 140. The back panel member 20 may have the same length as the front panel member 10 in the length direction (vertical direction). The back panel member 20 may have the same width as the front panel member 10 in the width direction (left-right direction). Furthermore, the back panel member 20 may have the same outer shape as the front panel member 10. Here, "identical" includes not only cases where they are completely identical, but also cases where they are substantially identical.

[0037] Similar to the front body member 10, a leg-circumference elastic member 60 that is stretchable in the width direction may be attached to the portion of the back body member 20 that covers the ankle, extending roughly over the entire width direction (left-right direction).

[0038] The leg-around elastic member 60 attached to the back body member 20 functions together with the leg-around elastic member 60 attached to the front body member 10 to constrict the ankle portion of the hem of the garment 1. Specifically, when not being worn, the hem of the garment 1 is narrowed by the elastic force (restoring force) of the leg-around elastic members 60 provided on the front body member 10 and the back body member 20. When the wearer puts their feet into the hem of the garment 1 and widens the hem, the leg-around elastic member 60 contracts due to its elastic force (restoring force), causing the hem of the garment 1 to fit snugly against the wearer's ankle. As a result of the hem of the garment 1 fitting snugly against the wearer's ankle in this way, the entry of foreign objects into the garment 1 from the hem is suppressed.

[0039] A waist elastic member 70, which is stretchable in the width direction, may be attached to the central part of the waist portion (near the center in the longitudinal direction) of the back body member 20 in the width direction (left-right direction). The waist elastic member 70 attached to the back body member 20 tightens the waist portion of the garment 1 and makes the waist portion of the garment 1 fit snugly to the wearer, allowing the wearer to move easily. The waist elastic member 70 is, for example, a member in which elastic threads are arranged between a pair of nonwoven fabrics so as to extend in the width direction. Alternatively, the waist elastic member 70 may be, for example, a sheet-like member that is stretchable in the width direction.

[0040] The back body member 20 is superimposed on the front body member 10 so that their outer shapes match, and joined at predetermined positions (for example, by bonding with hot melt adhesive, heat welding, or ultrasonic welding) to form the hood portion 110, the upper body portion 120, and the lower body portion 130. Specifically, the back body member 20 and the front body member 10 are joined in portions of their outline 15, excluding the positions where the right sleeve member 30R and the left sleeve member 30L are attached, and the openings at the hem of the crotch area 130D of the lower body portion 130 where the wearer's legs emerge (the openings at the hem of the right hem portion 130DR and the hem of the left hem portion 130DL) (see the hatched areas in Figure 4 that represent the joined portions). The joint between the back body member 20 and the front body member 10 includes a joint portion 15a extending along the length of the wearer's body from the right and left ends of the back body member 20 and the front body member 10, a joint portion 15b along the head and shoulder areas of the back body member 20 and the front body member 10, and a joint portion 15c along the crotch area of ​​the back body member 20 and the front body member 10. As a result of the back body member 20 and the front body member 10 being joined by the joint portions 15a, 15b, and 15c, a space is formed between the front body member 10 and the back body member 20 in which the wearer can insert their body (a hood portion 110 with space for the head, an upper body portion 120 with space for the upper body, and a lower body portion 130 with space for the lower body).

[0041] Incidentally, more than half of the edge of the front body member 10 and the edge of the back body member 20 are joined linearly in the longitudinal direction (vertical direction) (refer to the hatched portions representing the joints in FIG. 4). In other words, among the joints 15a, 15b, and 15c between the front body member 10 and the back body member 20 provided on the outer edge 15, the joint 15a extending in the longitudinal direction (the direction of the wearer's body length) from the side edge intersecting with the sleeve member 30 to the opening edge of the hem is linear for more than half of its length. In particular, in the present embodiment, as can be seen from FIG. 4, most of the joint 15a is linear.

[0042] (2-3) Hood Cover Member The hood cover member 40 is mainly a member provided at a portion of the hood portion 110 of the garment 1 that contacts the face of the wearer. The hood cover member 40 may be disposed entirely on the inner surface of the hood portion 110 of the front body member 10 (the portion that protrudes upward from the central portion of the front body member 10), or may be disposed only on the inner surface around the through hole 12 of the front body member 10 where the possibility of touching the wearer's face is particularly high. Further, the hood cover member 40 may be disposed not only on the inner surface of the portion forming the hood portion 110 of the front body member 10 but also on a part of the inner surface of the portion forming the upper body portion 120 of the front body member 10 (see FIG. 1).

[0043] The hood cover member 40 is a member for improving the comfort of the wearer. Therefore, a highly flexible non-woven fabric is disposed on the inner surface of the hood cover member 40. However, the material of the portion of the hood cover member 40 that touches the skin is not limited to non-woven fabric, and a material that enhances the comfort of the wearer may be appropriately selected. Although not limited, for example, SMS (spunbond - meltblown - spunbond) non-woven fabric or SMMMS (spunbond - meltblown - meltblown - spunbond) non-woven fabric is used for the hood cover member 40.

[0044] The GSM of the hood cover member 40 (particularly, the GSM of the portion of the hood cover member 40 that touches the skin) is preferably in the range of 10 to 200 g / m ２ to improve the tactile sensation.

[0045] The hood cover member 40 may have elasticity so that the hood part 110 can easily adhere to the wearer's face. Specifically, when not in use, the hood part 110 of the clothing 1 is in a state of being shrunk (narrowed) by the elastic force (restoring force) of the hood cover member 40. When the wearer puts their head into the hood part 110, the extended hood cover member 40 contracts due to the elastic force (restoring force), and the clothing 1 is made to adhere closely to the wearer's head.

[0046] For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the hood cover member 40 includes a pair of non-woven fabrics 42 and a hood cover elastic member 44 disposed between the pair of non-woven fabrics 42. Note that FIG. 3 is drawn for easy viewing of the configuration of the hood part 110 and does not mean that there are gaps between each member.

[0047] The hood cover elastic member 44 is, for example, thread rubber. However, the hood cover elastic member 44 is not limited to thread rubber and may be a sheet-like elastic member. The hood cover elastic member 44 is, for example, arranged in a ring shape so as to surround the through-hole 12 as shown in FIG. 1.

[0048] Note that the hood cover member 40 may include a configuration other than the non-woven fabric 42 and the hood cover elastic member 44.

[0049] (2-4) Sleeve member The sleeve member 30 is the part through which the wearer of the clothing 1 passes their arm.

[0050] The sleeve member 30 is a substantially cylindrical member. A cuff 32 through which the wearer of the clothing 1 puts out their hand is provided on one end side of the sleeve member 30. An armhole 34 into which the wearer of the clothing 1 inserts their arm is provided on the other end side of the sleeve member 30 (see FIG. 1).

[0051] The sleeve members 30 are joined to the front body member 10 and the back body member 20 at the armhole 34 side. Specifically, the outer edge of the front armhole 34 side of the right sleeve member 30R is joined to the right inner edge of the front body member 10 over its entire length in the vertical direction. The outer edge of the rear armhole 34 side of the right sleeve member 30R is joined to the right inner edge of the back body member 20 over its entire length in the vertical direction. The outer edge of the front armhole 34 side of the left sleeve member 30L is joined to the left inner edge of the front body member 10 over its entire length in the vertical direction. The outer edge of the rear armhole 34 side of the left sleeve member 30L is joined to the left inner edge of the back body member 20 over its entire length in the vertical direction.

[0052] In this embodiment, the sleeve member 30 has a smaller opening at the cuff 32 than the opening at the armhole 34 of the sleeve member 30. By making the cuff 32 of the sleeve member 30 smaller (by reducing the opening size of the cuff 32), the excess cuff 32 of the sleeve member 30 is less likely to get in the way of work. On the other hand, by making the opening at the armhole 34 of the sleeve member 30 relatively large, the wearer of the garment 1 can move their arms freely.

[0053] Furthermore, a sleeve elastic member 80 may be positioned at the cuff 32 of the sleeve member 30 so as to surround the wearer's wrist. The sleeve elastic member 80 may be, for example, a stretchable sheet-like material or elastic thread.

[0054] When not being worn, the cuff 32 of the sleeve member 30 is narrowed by the elastic force (restoring force) of the sleeve elastic member 80. When the wearer puts their hand into the cuff 32 of the sleeve member 30 and widens the opening, the sleeve elastic member 80 contracts due to its elastic force (restoring force), causing the cuff 32 of the sleeve member 30 to fit snugly against the wearer's wrist. As a result of the cuff 32 of the sleeve member 30 fitting snugly against the wearer's wrist in this way, the cuff 32 is less likely to interfere with work, and it is difficult for foreign objects to enter the inside of the garment 1 from the cuff 32.

[0055] (3) Characteristics of the garment (3-1) The garment 1 comprises a front body member 10, a back body member 20, and a hood cover member 40. The back body member 20 together with the front body member 10 forms a hood portion 110. The hood cover member 40 is joined to the front body member 10 in the hood portion 110. The hood cover member 40 is positioned between the front body member 10 and the back body member 20.

[0056] In garment 1, a hood cover member 40 is provided on the surface of the hood portion 110 that comes into contact with the wearer's face, which greatly affects the wearer's comfort. By using a material that feels good against the skin for the hood cover member 40, comfort can be improved.

[0057] Furthermore, compared to the case where the entire skin-facing side (the side facing the wearer) of the front body component 10 is covered with a material that feels good against the skin, the amount of raw materials used can be reduced, thereby lowering the cost of the garment 1.

[0058] (3-2) In garment 1, the width of the front body member 10 is the same as the width of the back body member 20.

[0059] Furthermore, the statement here that the width of the front bodice member 10 is the same as the width of the back bodice member 20 is not limited to cases where the two are exactly the same. The statement that the width of the front bodice member 10 is the same as the width of the back bodice member 20 includes cases where the two are substantially the same (specifically, cases where the difference between the two is within 10%, more preferably cases where the difference between the two is within 5%).

[0060] In garment 1, the widths of the front body piece 10 and the back body piece 20 are made the same, allowing garment 1 to be manufactured in a relatively simple process.

[0061] In particular, when the front body member 10 and the back body member 20 have the same outer shape, the number of processes that can be performed simultaneously on the front body sheet 10S and the back body sheet 20S increases, making it possible to manufacture the garment 1 in a particularly simple process.

[0062] (3-3) In garment 1, the edges of the front body member 10 and the edges of the back body member 20 are joined in a straight line for more than half of the length in the longitudinal direction.

[0063] This configuration makes it particularly easy to simplify the manufacturing equipment and process for garment 1, allowing for efficient production of garment 1 with relatively inexpensive equipment.

[0064] (3-4) In garment 1, the front body member 10, together with the back body member 20, forms the lower garment portion 130. The lower garment portion 130 includes a crotch area 130U and an inseam area 130D. The inseam area 130D includes hem portions that are divided into left and right sides (left hem portion 130DL and right hem portion 130DR).

[0065] (3-5) In garment 1, the hood cover member 40 is stretchable.

[0066] Because the hood cover member 40 is elastic, the hood portion 110 can easily fit snugly against the wearer's face, making it easier to prevent foreign objects from entering the garment 1 through the hood portion 110, and to prevent the wearer's hair from falling into the work environment.

[0067] In the garment 1 of the above embodiment, the hood cover member 40 includes a pair of nonwoven fabrics 42 and a hood cover elastic member 44 disposed between the pair of nonwoven fabrics 42.

[0068] Alternatively, the hood cover member 40 may not use the hood cover elastic member 44, and may include a single or multiple layers of stretchable nonwoven fabric 42.

[0069] (3-6) In garment 1, the GSM (Gram per Square Meter) of the hood cover member 40 is 10 to 200 g / m ２ It is within the range of [the specified range].

[0070] By using a hood cover member 40 having a GSM (Gross Surface Mass) within this range, a comfortable garment 1 can be realized.

[0071] (3-7) The garment 1 includes a leg elastic member 60 positioned around the legs, a waist elastic member 70 positioned around the waist, and a sleeve elastic member 80 positioned around the sleeves.

[0072] By providing elastic members 60 around the legs and elastic members 80 in the sleeves, it is possible to suppress problems such as foreign objects entering the garment 1 or the hem and sleeves of the garment 1 getting in the way of work. In addition, by providing these elastic members 60, 70, and 80, it is easy to make the garment 1 fit snugly to the wearer, improving the comfort and ease of movement of the garment 1.

[0073] Furthermore, when providing the elastic members 60, 70, and 80, it is not necessary to provide all of them; if necessary, only a portion of the elastic members 60, 70, and 80 may be provided.

[0074] (3-8) In garment 1, the front body member 10 has an opening / closing section 140. Garment 1 is equipped with a zipper member 50 as a fastener that fastens the left side region 142L and the right side region 142R of the opening / closing section, which are attached to the front body member 10.

[0075] Note that the zipper member 50 is just one example of a fastener, and buttons, hooks, hook-and-loop fasteners, etc., may be used instead of the zipper member 50.

[0076] (4) Method of manufacturing garments An embodiment of the method of manufacturing garment 1 of the present invention will be explained with reference to the schematic diagrams of the manufacturing process of garment 1 shown in Figures 5 to 7 and the flowcharts explaining the manufacturing process of garment 1 shown in Figures 8 to 13.

[0077] For the sake of explanation, the manufacturing process of garment 1 will be described here in the following steps, as shown in Figure 8: a) forming the hood cover sheet piece P1, b) processing the front body sheet P2, c) forming the sleeve member P3, d) joining the sleeve member to the back body sheet P4, and e) integrating the front body sheet and the back body sheet and processing the integrated sheet P5.

[0078] Note that in Figure 8, for convenience, the flowchart is shown as if step P2 is performed after P1, step P4 is performed after P3, and step P5 is performed after steps P2 and P4. However, in reality, steps P1 to P5 are performed sequentially and in parallel.

[0079] Furthermore, the manufacturing methods described below are merely examples and can be modified as appropriate. For example, the description of joining by adhesive may be replaced with the description of joining by heat welding or ultrasonic welding, and vice versa, as long as there is no contradiction. Also, the type of equipment used for each process may be other than the types of equipment exemplified for that process. In addition, the order in which each process is performed may be changed as appropriate, as long as there is no contradiction between them.

[0080] a) Step P1 for forming a hood cover sheet piece The step P1 for forming a hood cover sheet piece 40P, which will ultimately become the hood cover member 40 of the garment 1 after various processing steps, will be explained with reference to the flowchart in Figure 9 and Figure 7. The nonwoven fabric sheet 42S described below is the nonwoven fabric 42 that constitutes the hood cover member 40 when it becomes the garment 1, and the hood cover elastic member continuous 44C is the hood cover elastic member 44 that constitutes the hood cover member 40 when it becomes the garment 1.

[0081] In forming the food cover sheet pieces 40P, first, a food cover sheet 40S is formed by connecting the food cover sheet pieces 40P. Specifically, in order to form the food cover sheet 40S, a pair of nonwoven fabric sheets 42S used to form the food cover sheet 40S are conveyed by a conveying device (not shown) (step P11). Also, a food cover elastic member continuum 44C (here, multiple strands of elastic thread) is conveyed by a conveying device (not shown) in an extended state (step P12). The food cover elastic member continuum 44C is guided between the pair of nonwoven fabric sheets 42S by a guide device (not shown) so that it is positioned between the pair of nonwoven fabric sheets 42S. In this embodiment, the food cover elastic member continuum 44C is partially curved between the pair of nonwoven fabric sheets 42S so as to periodically draw an ellipse in the conveying direction of the nonwoven fabric sheets 42S (see Figure 7). Furthermore, adhesive is applied to the surface of one nonwoven fabric sheet 42S that overlaps with the other nonwoven fabric sheet 42S using an adhesive application device (not shown), and the pair of nonwoven fabric sheets 42S and the hood cover elastic member continuous body 44C are integrated by the adhesive to form a hood cover sheet 40S (step P13).

[0082] The hood cover sheet 40S formed in this manner and transported by a transport device (not shown) is cut to a predetermined length by a cutting device (not shown), and each piece of hood cover sheet material 40P is formed, each piece including annularly arranged hood cover elastic members 44 that will be positioned around the through-hole 12 in a later step (step P14). The hood cover sheet material 40P is transported to the joining location to the front body sheet 10S while being sucked by a suction conveyor (not shown) or the like (with the hood cover elastic members 44 still stretched).

[0083] b) Processing step P2 for the front body sheet The processing step P2 for the front body sheet 10S, which will ultimately become the front body member 10 of the garment 1 after various processing steps, will be explained with reference to the flowchart in Figure 10 and Figure 7. The front body sheet 10S described below is the member that will ultimately become the front body member 10 after processing, and the leg elastic member assembly 60G is the member that will ultimately become the leg elastic member 60.

[0084] In the processing step P2 for the front body sheet, the front body sheet 10S is transported by a transport device (not shown) (step P21).

[0085] On the inner surface of the front body sheet 10S being transported, the hood cover sheet pieces 40P formed in step P1 are stacked at predetermined intervals in the transport direction of the front body sheet 10S (including the portion that will become the hood portion 110 when it becomes garment 1) (step P22). Adhesive is applied to the positions on the inner surface of the front body sheet 10S where the hood cover sheet pieces 40P are stacked using an adhesive application device (not shown), and the hood cover sheet pieces 40P are joined to the front body sheet 10S.

[0086] Next, the area where the hood cover sheet piece 40P of the front body sheet 10S is laminated is cut by a cutting device (not shown) (so that the hood cover member 40 remains on the front body sheet 10S), and a through hole 12 is formed (step P23).

[0087] Furthermore, slits are formed at predetermined intervals along the transport direction of the front body sheet 10S by a cutting device (not shown), thereby forming an opening / closing section 140 on the front body sheet 10S (step P24).

[0088] Furthermore, on the inner surface of the front body sheet 10S being transported, leg-around elastic member assemblies 60G (here, members in which elastic threads are arranged between a pair of nonwoven fabrics) are arranged at predetermined intervals in the transport direction of the front body sheet 10S (at the locations that will become the hem when it becomes garment 1), and extend across the entire front body sheet 10S in the width direction of the front body sheet 10S (direction perpendicular to the transport direction) (step P25). Note that adhesive is applied to the surface of the leg-around elastic member assemblies 60G facing the front body sheet 10S by an adhesive application device (not shown), and the leg-around elastic member assemblies 60G are joined to the front body sheet 10S. Note that the leg-around elastic member assemblies 60G are joined to the inner surface of the front body sheet 10S while stretched in the stretch direction (here, the width direction of the front body sheet 10S).

[0089] The front body sheet 10S, processed in this manner and transported by a transport device (not shown), is transported to the overlapping location with the back body sheet 20S while being sucked in by a suction conveyor (not shown) or the like (with the leg elastic member assembly 60G and hood cover elastic member 44 still stretched).

[0090] c) Sleeve Member Formation Step P3 In sleeve member formation step P3, the left sleeve member 30L and the right sleeve member 30R are actually formed. However, since the method for forming the left sleeve member 30L and the method for forming the right sleeve member 30R are generally the same, here we will explain sleeve member formation step P3 using the formation step P3 of the left sleeve member 30L as an example, referring to the flowchart in Figure 11 and Figure 6.

[0091] The sleeve elastic member continuous body 80C described below is a member that, after processing, will ultimately become the sleeve elastic member 80 that is placed at the cuff 32 of the left sleeve member 30L.

[0092] The left sleeve member 30L is mainly formed from two nonwoven fabric sheets 36, 36, which are examples of sleeve sheets, and a sleeve elastic member continuous 80C.

[0093] In step P3 of the sleeve member formation, a pair of nonwoven fabric sheets 36 are transported by a transport device (not shown) (step P31). Also, the sleeve elastic member continuous 80C (in this case, multiple strands of elastic thread) is transported in a stretched state by a transport device (not shown) (step P32). Adhesive is applied to the sleeve elastic member continuous 80C by an adhesive application device (not shown) during transport.

[0094] The transported sleeve elastic member continuous 80C is positioned along the transport direction of the nonwoven fabric sheets 36 near one end of each of the pair of transported nonwoven fabric sheets 36 in the width direction (direction perpendicular to the transport direction) (step P33). Then, the end of each of the pair of transported nonwoven fabric sheets 36 on the side where the sleeve elastic member continuous 80C is positioned in the width direction is folded by a folding device (for example, a folding mechanism that folds the nonwoven fabric sheets 36, not shown) so that the sleeve elastic member continuous 80C is positioned between the nonwoven fabric sheets 36 (step P34).

[0095] Next, the pair of nonwoven fabric sheets 36 are overlapped such that the ends that were folded in step P34 in the width direction overlap each other (step P35). In other words, in step P35, the pair of nonwoven fabric sheets 36 are overlapped such that the arrangement portions of the sleeve elastic member continuous 80C overlap each other.

[0096] Then, the pair of overlapping nonwoven fabric sheets 36 (in other words, sleeve sheets) are heat-welded or ultrasonically welded by a welding device (not shown) along a direction intersecting the transport direction to match the shape of the left sleeve member 30L. The pair of nonwoven fabric sheets 36 are also cut along the welded area (to match the shape of the sleeve member 30) to form the left sleeve member 30L on which the sleeve elastic member 80 is positioned (step P36).

[0097] The left sleeve member 30L, processed in this manner and transported by a transport device (not shown), is then transported to the joint with the back body sheet 20S while being sucked in by a suction conveyor (not shown) or the like (with the sleeve elastic member 80 still stretched).

[0098] In this example, the left sleeve member 30L and the right sleeve member 30R are formed separately, but this is not the only way to do so. For example, the left sleeve member 30L and the right sleeve member 30R may be formed alternately from a pair of overlapping nonwoven fabric sheets 36 (in other words, sleeve sheets).

[0099] d) Step P4 for joining the sleeve member to the back body sheet The step P4 for joining the sleeve member 30 to the back body sheet 20S, which will ultimately become the back body member 20 of the garment 1 after various processing steps, will be explained with reference to the flowchart in Figure 12 and Figure 5.

[0100] In step P4, where the sleeve member 30 is joined to the back body sheet 20S, the back body sheet 20S is transported by a transport device (not shown) (step P41).

[0101] Adhesive is applied to a portion of the inner surface on the left end of the back body sheet 20S at predetermined intervals in the direction of transport of the back body sheet 20S by an adhesive application device (not shown), and the end of the outer surface of the left sleeve member 30L on the armhole 34 side is joined to the adhesive application area (step P42). The left sleeve member 30L is then folded, and the portion of the left sleeve member 30L other than the joining area is positioned on the outer surface side of the back body sheet 20S as it is being transported.

[0102] Furthermore, adhesive is applied to a portion of the inner surface on the right end of the back body sheet 20S at a predetermined interval in the transport direction of the back body sheet 20S (at the same location as the joining location of the left sleeve member 30L in the transport direction of the back body sheet 20S) by an adhesive application device (not shown), and the armhole 34 side end of the outer surface of the right sleeve member 30R, which is formed in the same way as the left sleeve member 30L, is joined to the adhesive application location (step P43). Note that the right sleeve member 30R is bent, and the portion of the right sleeve member 30R other than the joining location is positioned on the outer surface side of the back body sheet 20S with respect to the transported back body sheet 20S.

[0103] Furthermore, on the inner surface of the conveyed back body sheet 20S, leg-around elastic member assemblies 60G (here, members in which elastic threads are arranged between a pair of nonwoven fabrics) are arranged at predetermined intervals in the conveying direction of the back body sheet 20S (at the locations that will become the hem when it becomes garment 1), and extend over the entire back body sheet 20S in the width direction of the back body sheet 20S (in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction) (step P44). Note that adhesive is applied to the surface of the leg-around elastic member assemblies 60G facing the back body sheet 20S by an adhesive application device (not shown), and the leg-around elastic member assemblies 60G are joined to the back body sheet 20S. Note that the leg-around elastic member assemblies 60G are joined to the inner surface of the back body sheet 20S while stretched in the stretching direction (here, the width direction of the back body sheet 20S).

[0104] The back body sheet 20S, processed in this manner and transported by a transport device (not shown), is transported to the overlapping location with the front body sheet 10S while being sucked in by a suction conveyor (not shown) or the like (with the sleeve elastic members 80 and the leg elastic member assemblies 60G still stretched).

[0105] e) Integration of the front body sheet and the back body sheet and processing step P5 of the integrated sheet The front body sheet 10S, which was transported via step P2, is placed on top of the back body sheet 20S, which was transported via step P4. Specifically, the front body sheet 10S and the back body sheet 20S, to which the hood cover sheet piece 40P is attached, are placed on top of each other so that the hood cover sheet piece 40P is sandwiched between the front body sheet 10S and the back body sheet 20S (step P51).

[0106] In this process, a portion of the inner surface on the left end of the front body sheet 10S is joined to the armhole 34 side of the outer surface of the left sleeve member 30L (the side opposite to the side to which the back body sheet 20S is joined) by adhesive applied by an adhesive application device (not shown). Also, a portion of the inner surface on the right end of the front body sheet 10S is joined to the armhole 34 side of the outer surface of the right sleeve member 30R (the side opposite to the side to which the back body sheet 20S is joined) by adhesive applied by an adhesive application device (not shown).

[0107] Next, the overlapping front body sheet 10S and back body sheet 20S are partially joined (step P52). Specifically, the overlapping front body sheet 10S and back body sheet 20S are joined along the outer edge 15 when they become garment 1 (joint portions 15a, 15b, and 15c are formed on the overlapping front body sheet 10S and back body sheet 20S). Specifically, the outer edge 15 when they become garment 1 is joined (for example, by heat welding or ultrasonic welding) in the portion excluding the positions where the right sleeve member 30R and the left sleeve member 30L are attached, and the openings at the hem of the crotch area 130D of the lower garment portion 130 where the wearer's legs come out (the hem of the right hem portion 130DR and the hem of the left hem portion 130DL where the left leg goes in) by a welding device (not shown).

[0108] Next, the waist elastic members 70 are placed and joined to the outer or inner surface of the back body sheet 20S at predetermined intervals in the transport direction of the back body sheet 20S (step P53).

[0109] Next, the overlapping front body sheet 10S and back body sheet 20S are cut along the joints 15b and 15c, and the garment 1 is cut out (step P54).

[0110] In this process, the crotch area 130D of the lower garment portion 130 of garment 1 is formed by trimming (removing a portion of the front body sheet 10S and the back body sheet 20S) the area between the left leg portion (left hem portion 130DL) and the right leg portion (right hem portion 130DR) when garment 1 is formed (step P55). Specifically, the crotch area 130D of the lower garment portion 130 of garment 1 is formed by removing a triangular area D from between the left leg portion (left hem portion 130DL) and the right leg portion (right hem portion 130DR) when garment 1 is formed.

[0111] Alternatively, instead of using a trim, a slit extending in the direction of transport of garment 1 may be formed between the portion that becomes the left leg portion (left hem portion 130DL) and the portion that becomes the right leg portion (right hem portion 130DR) when garment 1 is formed, thereby creating the crotch area 130D of the lower garment portion 130 of garment 1.

[0112] Next, a zipper member 50, as an example of a fastener, is attached to the opening / closing portion 140 of garment 1 (step P56). A cover member may also be attached to the opening / closing portion 140 of garment 1 to cover the zipper member 50 (step P57).

[0113] (5) Characteristics of the garment manufacturing method (5-1) The garment manufacturing method comprises a first transport step, a second transport step, a third transport step, a hood cover sheet piece forming step, a hood cover sheet piece joining step, a through hole forming step, an overlapping step, a joining step, a crotch area forming step, and a cutting step. In the first transport step, the front body sheet 10S is transported. In the second transport step, the back body sheet 20S is transported. In the third transport step, the hood cover sheet 40S is transported. In the hood cover sheet piece forming step, a hood cover sheet piece 40P is formed from the hood cover sheet 40S. In the hood cover sheet piece joining step, the hood cover sheet pieces 40P are stacked on the front body sheet 10S at predetermined intervals in the transport direction of the front body sheet 10S and joined to the front body sheet 10S. In the through-hole forming process, the area where the hood cover sheet piece 40P is laminated on the front body sheet 10S is cut to form a through-hole 12. In the overlapping process, the front body sheet 10S and the back body sheet 20S, to which the hood cover sheet piece 40P is joined, are overlapped so that the hood cover sheet piece 40P is sandwiched between the front body sheet 10S and the back body sheet 20S. In the joining process, the overlapped front body sheet 10S and the back body sheet 20S are partially joined. In the crotch area forming process, the crotch area 130D of the lower garment portion 130 of garment 1 is formed by creating a slit between the portion that will become the left leg (left hem portion 130DL) and the portion that will become the right leg (right hem portion 130DR) when garment 1 is formed, or by trimming the area between the portion that will become the left leg and the portion that will become the right leg when garment 1 is formed. In the cutting process, the partially joined front body sheet 10S and back body sheet 20S are cut, and garment 1 is cut out.

[0114] This method of manufacturing garment 1 allows for the production of a garment 1 with superior comfort through relatively simple and few steps.

[0115] (5-2) The method for manufacturing garment 1 includes a step of arranging a hood cover elastic member (hood cover elastic member continuous body 44C) between a pair of nonwoven fabric sheets 42S that are being transported to form a hood cover sheet 40S.

[0116] In this method of manufacturing garment 1, the hood cover member 40 can be made stretchable, and a garment can be manufactured in which the hood portion 110 easily fits snugly to the wearer's face.

[0117] (5-3) The method for manufacturing garment 1 comprises a fourth transport step, a sleeve member forming step, and a sleeve member joining step. In the fourth transport step, a nonwoven fabric sheet 36, as an example of a sleeve sheet, is transported. In the sleeve member forming step, sleeve members 30 (left sleeve member 30L, right sleeve member 30R) are formed from the nonwoven fabric sheet 36. In the sleeve member joining step, the sleeve members 30 (left sleeve member 30L, right sleeve member 30R) are joined to at least one of the transported front body sheet 10S and back body sheet 20S at a predetermined interval in the transport direction of the sheet.

[0118] (5-4) The method for manufacturing the garment 1 includes the step of placing a sleeve elastic member (continuous sleeve elastic member 80C) which is to be placed at the cuff 32 of the sleeve member 30 on the nonwoven fabric sheet 36 that is being transported.

[0119] This method of manufacturing garment 1 makes it possible to produce garments that can suppress problems such as foreign objects entering the garment 1 through the cuff 32 of the sleeve member 30, or the sleeve portion of garment 1 getting in the way of work. Furthermore, it is possible to produce garments 1 that are comfortable to wear and allow for ease of movement.

[0120] (5-5) The method for manufacturing the garment 1 includes the step of arranging the waist elastic member 70 at a predetermined interval in the direction of transport of the back body sheet 20S that is being transported.

[0121] This method for manufacturing garment 1 makes it possible to produce garment 1 that is superior in terms of comfort and ease of movement.

[0122] (5-6) The method for manufacturing the garment 1 further comprises the step of arranging leg elastic members (leg elastic member assembly 60G) at predetermined intervals in the conveying direction of the front body sheet 10S and the back body sheet 20S that are being conveyed.

[0123] The manufacturing method for garment 1 makes it possible to produce garment 1 that can suppress the occurrence of problems such as foreign objects entering the garment 1 from the hem or the hem of garment 1 getting in the way of work. Furthermore, it is possible to produce garment 1 that is comfortable to wear and easy to move in.

[0124] In the above embodiment, the leg-around elastic member assembly 60G is attached to the front body sheet 10S and the back body sheet 20S that are transported (see step P25 in Figure 10 and step P44 in Figure 12), but the method of manufacturing the garment 1 is not limited to this method.

[0125] For example, one of the steps P25 and P44 described above may be omitted, and in the other of the remaining steps P25 and P44, the leg elastic member assembly 60G that will ultimately be joined to the front body sheet 10S side and the leg elastic member assembly 60G that will be joined to the back body sheet 20S side (in other words, a pair of leg elastic member assemblies 60G) may be joined together to one of the front body sheet 10S and the back body sheet 20S. In this case, the pair of leg elastic member assemblies 60G that will be joined to one of the front body sheet 10S and the back body sheet 20S may be joined to each other in advance, for example, at both ends and in the center (in other parts, one leg elastic member assembly 60G and the other leg elastic member assembly 60G are not joined). Furthermore, the pair of leg-around elastic member assemblies 60G, which are joined to one of the front body sheet 10S and the back body sheet 20S, can be joined to the sheet 10S or 20S that was not joined when the front body sheet 10S and the back body sheet 20S are superimposed, for example, by an adhesive.

[0126] (5-7) The method for manufacturing garment 1 comprises an opening / closing section forming step and a fastener attachment step. In the opening / closing section forming step, slits are formed at predetermined intervals along the transport direction of the front body sheet 10S as it is being transported, thereby forming an opening / closing section 140. In the fastener attachment step, a zipper member 50, as an example of a fastener, is placed and attached to the opening / closing section 140.

[0127] <Note> Finally, the technical ideas that can be understood from the above embodiments and modifications are described below.

[0128] The garment relating to the first aspect comprises a front body member, a back body member, and a hood cover member. The back body member, together with the front body member, forms a hood portion. The hood cover member is joined to the front body member in the hood portion. The hood cover member is positioned between the front body member and the back body member.

[0129] In the first type of clothing, a hood cover is provided on the surface of the hood that comes into contact with the wearer's face, which greatly affects the wearer's comfort. Therefore, by using a material that feels good against the skin for the hood cover, comfort can be improved.

[0130] Furthermore, compared to cases where the entire skin-facing side (the side facing the wearer) of the front panel is covered with a material that feels good against the skin, the amount of raw materials used can be reduced, thus lowering the cost of the garment.

[0131] The garment relating to the second perspective is the garment relating to the first perspective, wherein the width of the front panel is the same as the width of the back panel.

[0132] In the second type of garment, the width of the front and back panels can be made the garment through a relatively simple process.

[0133] The garment relating to the third perspective is the garment relating to the first or second perspective, wherein the edges of the front body member and the edges of the back body member are joined in a straight line for more than half of the longitudinal direction.

[0134] This configuration makes it easier to simplify clothing manufacturing equipment and processes, allowing for efficient clothing production with relatively inexpensive equipment.

[0135] The garment relating to the fourth perspective is a garment relating to either the first or third perspective, wherein the front body member, together with the back body member, forms the lower garment portion. The lower garment portion includes a crotch area and an inseam area. The inseam area includes hem portions that are divided into left and right sides.

[0136] The garment relating to the fifth perspective is a garment relating to either the first or fourth perspective, and the hood cover member is elastic.

[0137] Regarding the fifth aspect of the garment, the hood cover component is elastic, which allows the hood to fit snugly against the wearer's face, thus reducing the likelihood of foreign objects entering the garment from the hood and preventing the wearer's hair from falling into the work environment.

[0138] The garment relating to the sixth aspect is the garment relating to the fifth aspect, wherein the hood cover member includes a pair of nonwoven fabrics and a hood cover elastic member disposed between the pair of nonwoven fabrics.

[0139] The garment relating to the seventh aspect is the garment relating to the fifth aspect, and the hood cover member includes a nonwoven fabric that is elastic.

[0140] The garments relating to the eighth perspective are those relating to either the first or seventh perspective, and the GSM of the hood cover member is 10 to 200 g / m². ２ It is within the range of [the specified range].

[0141] By using a hood cover member with a GSM (Gross Surface Mass) within this range, it is possible to create comfortable clothing.

[0142] The garment relating to the ninth viewpoint is a garment relating to either the first viewpoint or the eighth viewpoint, further comprising a pair of sleeve members.

[0143] The garment relating to the tenth aspect is a garment relating to any of the first to ninth aspects, further comprising at least one of the following: a leg elastic member disposed around the legs, a waist elastic member disposed around the waist, and a sleeve elastic member disposed around the sleeves.

[0144] Regarding the tenth aspect of clothing, by providing elastic members around the legs and sleeves, it is possible to suppress problems such as foreign objects entering the clothing or the hems and sleeves of the clothing interfering with work. In addition, by providing these elastic members, it is easy to make the clothing fit snugly to the wearer, improving the comfort and ease of movement of the clothing.

[0145] The garment relating to the 11th viewpoint is a garment relating to either the 1st viewpoint or the 10th viewpoint, wherein the front body member has an opening / closing section. The garment further comprises fasteners attached to the front body member for securing the left side of the opening / closing section and the right side of the opening / closing section.

[0146] A garment manufacturing method relating to the twelfth aspect comprises a first conveying step, a second conveying step, a third conveying step, a hood cover sheet piece forming step, a hood cover sheet piece joining step, a through-hole forming step, an overlapping step, a joining step, a crotch area forming step, and a cutting step. In the first conveying step, the front body sheet is conveyed. In the second conveying step, the back body sheet is conveyed. In the third conveying step, the hood cover sheet is conveyed. In the hood cover sheet piece forming step, hood cover sheet pieces are formed from the hood cover sheet. In the hood cover sheet piece joining step, the hood cover sheet pieces are stacked on the front body sheet at predetermined intervals in the conveying direction of the front body sheet and joined to the front body sheet. In the through-hole forming step, the areas of the front body sheet where the hood cover sheet pieces are stacked are cut to form through holes. In the overlapping process, the front and back panels, to which the hood cover sheet piece is attached, are overlapped so that the hood cover sheet piece is sandwiched between the front and back panels. In the joining process, the overlapped front and back panels are partially joined together. In the crotch area formation process, the crotch area of ​​the lower garment is formed by creating a slit between the part that will become the left leg and the part that will become the right leg when the garment is made, or by trimming the area between the part that will become the left leg and the part that will become the right leg when the garment is made. In the cutting process, the partially joined front and back panels are cut, and the garment is cut out.

[0147] The garment manufacturing method relating to the 12th perspective allows for the production of garments with superior comfort using relatively simple and few steps.

[0148] A method for manufacturing clothing according to the 13th aspect is a method for manufacturing clothing according to the 12th aspect, further comprising the step of arranging a hood cover elastic member between a pair of nonwoven fabric sheets being transported to form a hood cover sheet.

[0149] In the garment manufacturing method relating to the 13th aspect, the hood cover member can be made stretchable, and garments can be manufactured in which the hood portion easily fits snugly to the wearer's face.
