Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing modular garments.
- French patent No. 2,079,865 discloses a transformation process for clothing and accessories using geometric elements of small dimensions each having at least one side of equal length.
- at least one perforation is provided near each vertex of the geometrical element, a perforation through which a spring ring passes.
- French Patent No. 1,563,149 relates to a female garment produced by the juxtaposition of fabric, leather, ... bands assembled together by staples, rings or bands provided with means of mutual attachment.
- US Patent 3,662,404 relates to a garment consisting of a large number of small diamonds connected together only by their vertices, so that a set of days appears between these diamonds.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method " - making it possible to produce modular garments that are both aesthetic and fitting without requiring a plurality of elements of different shapes.
- this object is achieved by a process for producing modular clothing by assembling parts having assembly lines which reproduce a single basic pattern in the form of a diamond, the large diagonal of which is parallel to the axis. main body, the circumference of the or each part of the garment at chest or hip level being formed by a row of four pieces whose assembly lines define four basic diamond patterns linked by their vertices located at the ends of the small diagonals, the parts being provided with means of attachment to the tops and on the sides of the diamonds defined by the assembly lines.
- the production of the garment is completed by the assembly of accessory parts, at least some of which have assembly lines defining a triangle pattern which constitutes a fraction of the basic diamond pattern. One side of the triangle can be provided with a slide.
- constituent parts of the garment which have assembly lines according to the basic diamond pattern can themselves have a diamond shape with edges parallel to the assembly lines. It can be the same for the accessory parts which present assembly lines according to a triangle pattern constituting a fraction of the pattern. diamond base. The edges of a part are then located slightly outside the assembly lines so that mutual overlap is obtained between assembled parts along two respective edges.
- at least some of the constituent parts of the garment may have a shape other than a diamond or fraction of a diamond, with one edge or more edges not parallel to the assembly lines.
- one or more constituent parts of the garment may have a free part forming for example a steering wheel or a flap which extends beyond an assembly line and does not participate in the holding of the garment.
- the choice of the diamond as the basic pattern for the assembly lines of the constituent parts of the garment is not arbitrary. It offers multiple advantages both technically and aesthetically.
- the diamond shape is indeed the most rational to marry the body.
- the diamonds are arranged with a diagonal, preferably the largest diagonal, oriented vertically.
- the sides of the diamonds then form oblique lines which favor the connection between pieces, allowing to easily release the neckline and armholes and give a more comfortable character to the garment.
- the choice of four diamonds to form the circumference of the garment at chest level allows to form naturally the neckline and armholes of the garment.
- the choice of four diamonds to form the circumference of the garment at the hips then ensures a harmonious complement of the upper part.
- the sides of the diamonds are preferably in the bias of the fabric, which gives these sides a certain flexibility and produces better cohesion between the assembled pieces.
- the dimensions of the diamonds are chosen so that the working length of their small diagonal is equal to a quarter of the chest measurement of a standard size and half of a large diagonal. Thanks to this rationalization of the dimensions of the diamonds, a clothing seller only needs a limited stock of pieces of clothing, corresponding to the standardized sizes.
- the attachment means are arranged on the sides and at the tops. diamonds. Different fastening means can be used, such as, for example, buttons, snaps, laces, ...
- FIG. 2 shows a piece of clothing with assembly lines defining a basic diamond-shaped pattern, used for the production of clothing according to the process according to the invention
- FIGS. 3A and 3B show accessory parts with assembly lines defining a pattern which constitutes a fraction of the basic diamond pattern
- FIG. 4 illustrates a possible assembly of parts according to the method according to the invention
- FIGS. 5A and 5B illustrate a snap button used for the assembly of constituent parts of a garment.
- the process for producing modular garments according to the invention is based on the use of parts having assembly lines which reproduce a single basic pattern in the form of a diamond.
- the choice of the diamond shape comes from the fact that the silhouette of the human body is inscribed in a diamond L ( Figure 1A) whose long diagonal is vertical and corresponds substantially to the height of the subject.
- Figure 1A a diamond L
- FIGS. 1B to 1D by dividing the diamond L into several juxtaposed equal elementary diamonds 1 also having their large vertical diagonal, it is possible to approach the silhouette of the body very correctly, hence the possibility of achieving a garment by assembling pieces according to diamonds.
- the hatched elementary diamonds form the front or the back of the upper part of a garment, at the level of the chest
- FIG. 1C the hatched elementary diamonds form the front or the back of the lower part of a garment, at the hips.
- Figure 2 illustrates a standard part 1 with assembly lines 2 reproducing the basic diamond pattern.
- the piece 1 is itself diamond-shaped, the edges of which are parallel to those of the diamond defined by the lines 2.
- the piece 1 is made of fabric, leather or other material.
- the sides of the piece 1 are cut through the fabric so that the warp and weft threads are parallel to the diagonals of the rhombus.
- the dimensions of part 1 are calculated as follows.
- the small diagonal d_ of the rhombus defined by the assembly lines 2 is equal to a quarter of the chest or hip circumference of ; the person for whom the garment is intended. In the case of so-called "ready-to-wear" clothing, several theoretical diamonds are determined, the dimensions of the small diagonals of which are calculated from the chest or hip measurements corresponding to the standardized sizes (38N, 40N, ).
- the large diagonal ⁇ _ of the rhombus defined by the assembly lines 2 is chosen to be double the small diagonal.
- the dimensions of the part 1 are chosen slightly greater than those of the rhombus defined by the assembly lines 2 to allow assembly with slight overlap of the parts at their vertices or assembled sides. For example, the diagonals of piece 1 have a length of about 2 cm longer than that of the diagonals _d and D
- the means for attaching the constituent parts of the garment to one another consist, for example, of buttons, press studs or eyelets for passing laces.
- An embodiment of press studs is described below with reference to FIG. 5.
- each side of the rhombus is provided for example with three fasteners: one in the middle of the side and two other equidistant from the middle, and close to the vertices defining the side .
- each top of the part 1 is provided with a fastener.
- FIGS. 3A and 3B show two accessory parts 4, 5 obtained by cutting the part 1 respectively along its long diagonal and along its small diagonal.
- the accessory parts 4, 5 are provided with attachment means 3 arranged as on the sides of the base part 1.
- the attachment means 3 are located on the assembly lines 2 which define a triangle constituting a fraction of the basic diamond pattern.
- the triangles thus obtained will advantageously be provided with at least one hem 6 on the base of the triangle, hem which could possibly serve as a slide to tighten collar, wrist, waist or belt depending on the location of the triangle in the garment.
- the tip of the triangle can be cut as indicated at 7 in FIG. 3B.
- the link will then be done by the two closest ties to the removed point.
- FIG. 4 illustrates, in the form developed flat, an embodiment of a garment according to the invention.
- a first row of four pieces the é ld is built to form the top of the garment. The pieces have their large vertical diagonals and are joined by their vertices located at the ends of the small diagonals.
- a second identical row of four pieces le to lh is built to form the bottom of the garment. The two rows can be joined by assembling the lower tops of the pieces of the top row with the upper tops of the pieces of the bottom row and / or with the interposition of pieces li, lj at the waist.
- the garment thus formed can be extended downwards by accessory parts 5a, 5b.
- the use of a basic diamond pattern for the assembly lines of the pieces of the garment brings particular advantages from the practical point of view and from the aesthetic point of view.
- the oblique lines formed by the sides of the diamonds make it possible to gradually increase or decrease the extent in the construction of the garment and give an impression of thinning.
- the sides of the rhombus advantageously follow the bias of the fabric, which gives flexibility in the connection and better cohesion between the pieces.
- V-shaped parts that form the upper sides of the top row of parts la to ld give off a neckline and armholes, which makes it possible to adapt a collar and sleeves of appropriate shapes and free design .
- the garment with pockets integrated into a standard element, the dimensions of the latter being sufficient for this purpose.
- Another example of a garment embodiment may consist in assembling only four basic pieces by their vertices situated at the ends of the small diagonals to form by. example a blouse or the basic element of a Bermuda shorts or, - even pants.
- An additional embodiment consists of an assembly of parts on a support provided with attachment means compatible with those arranged along the assembly lines in rhombus or in fraction of a rhombus.
- attachment means compatible with those arranged along the assembly lines in rhombus or in fraction of a rhombus.
- the press stud comprises a male part 10 and a female part 20 which pass through holes formed in the parts 1 to be assembled and fitted with metal eyelets 9 set in the material (fabric, leather or other) of the parts 1.
- the male part 10 comprises a head 11 extended by a rod 12 which, in its part projecting out of the eyelet 9 after having crossed the latter, has a first groove 13, for housing a metal annular retaining ring 14, and a second groove 15 separating the end 16 of the rod with a rounded profile from the rest of this rod.
- the female part 20 comprises a head 21 extended by one. tubular part 22 at the end of which a groove 23 ′ is formed for a metal annular retaining ring 24. Longitudinal slots 25 are formed in the tubular part 22 dividing the latter into strips 26, up to the end of it, to allow expansion of the female part.
- the snaps which have just been described have the advantage of being removable, after removal of the retaining rods, which makes it possible to exchange or return them according to the necessities of transformation of the garment. In addition, they allow great freedom of assembly of the pieces of the garment since they can be assembled front or back, above or below, and in several thicknesses as necessary.
- the description which has just been made relates to the production of clothing for a human person, but the invention also covers the production of clothing on a different scale. This is how, on a reduced scale, we can consider making doll clothes. Conversely, a higher scale factor will make it possible, for example, to create stage costumes for giant models.
