Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wear size adjustment mechanism configured to adjust the size of a garment, and a garment having the adjustment mechanism.
  • some floating vests for use on the shore of a sea, a river, or the like have an adjustment mechanism configured to adjust the size thereof.
  • an adjustment mechanism is provided in a connecting portion that connects between a front body and a back body of a floating vest and configured to adjust the distance between the front body and the back body.
  • the adjustment mechanism includes hook members fixed on the front body and the back body, an adjustment string stretched between the hook members of the front body and the hook members of the back body so as to cross itself, and a tightening member configured to adjust the tightness of the adjustment string stretched between the hook members.
  • the distance between the front body and the back body can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the adjustment string via the tightening member.
  • an adjustment mechanism in which a winding device is fixed on the connecting portion connecting between the front body and the back body, an adjustment wire is stretched between the winding device and a plurality of guide members fixed on the front body or the back body to form a loop, and both ends of the adjustment wire are attached and fixed to the winding device.
  • the distance by which the associated front body or the back body having the guide members fixed thereon is pulled is only the half of the length of the adjustment wire wound by the winding device.
  • a tightening string is merely disposed in a loop across the garment cloth. Therefore, when the tightening string is wound for tightness by a winding element, portions of the garment cloth on which the tightening string is disposed in a loop are not only contracted in the left-right direction (at the left and right side of the garment cloth) but undesirably also contracted in the top-bottom direction (to make wrinkles). This may reduce the comfort.
  • the present invention addresses the above problems.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide a wear size adjustment mechanism that enables efficient and wide adjustment of a wear size with less adjusting operation and to provide a garment having the adjustment mechanism.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a wear size adjustment mechanism that restricts and adjusts a wear size in the direction of adjustment and to provide a garment having the adjustment mechanism.
  • a wear size adjustment mechanism comprises: a winding device 12 fixed on a garment cloth; an elongated member 14 configured to be wound by the winding device 12; a first retainer 16 fixed on the garment cloth on one side of the winding device 12 and at a distance from the winding device 12, the first retainer 16 retaining the elongated member 14 such that the elongated member 14 extending from the winding device 12 is hooked on the first retainer 16, so as to define a first contraction region 20 of the garment cloth to be pulled from the one side toward the winding device 12 by a pulling action of the elongated member 14 wound by the winding device 12; a second retainer 18 fixed on the garment cloth on the other side of the winding device 12 and at a distance from the winding device 12, the second retainer 18 retaining the elongated member 14 hooked on the first retainer 16 and extending from the first contraction region 20 to the other side, so as to define a second contraction region 22 of the garment cloth to
  • the first contraction region 20 in which the elongated member 14 extending from the winding device 12 may be hooked on the first retainer 16 may be defined on one side of the winding device 12, while the second contraction region 22 in which the elongated member 14 hooked on the first retainer 16 and extending from the first contraction region 20 is retained may be defined on the other side of the winding device 12. Therefore, the pulling action of the elongated member 14 wound by the winding device 12 may cause the garment cloth to be contracted reliably.
  • the garment cloth of the first and second contraction regions 20, 22 on both sides of the winding device 12 can be simultaneously pulled with one operation of the winding device 12, thereby securing a large width of size adjustment.
  • the second contraction region 22 may be defined, in which the elongated member 14 may not extend between the second retainer 18 and the winding device 12.
  • the distance of pulling may not be halved on both sides of the hooking point by the principle of movable pulley. Therefore, in the second contraction region 22, the distance of pulling the garment cloth may theoretically be twice as in the first contraction region 20.
  • the adjustment mechanism as a whole enables efficient and wide adjustment of a wear size with less adjusting operation. Since efficient and wide adjustment of a wear size is possible with less adjusting operation, the wear size adjustment mechanism can be downsized as far as possible to be disposed in a limited space of the garment.

  • the first retainer 16 on which the elongated member 14 extending from the winding device 12 is hooked cooperates with the winding device 12 to restrain the first contraction region 20 from being contracted in a second direction substantially orthogonal to a first direction in which the first contraction region 20 may be contracted and expanded (a direction of distance from the winding device 12 to the first retainer 16), and the second retainer 18 on which the elongated member 14 extending from the first retainer 16 is hooked restrains the second contraction region 22 from being contracted in the second direction. Therefore, the garment cloth may be restrained from being contracted (making wrinkles) in the second direction over the entire height of the first and second contraction regions 20, 22 related to the adjustment mechanism 10. Therefore, the reduction of comfort can be prevented. That is, the wear size adjustment mechanism 10 arranged as above can restrict and adjust the size of the garment in the first direction in which the size is to be adjusted.
  • the first contraction region 20 in which the elongated member 14 extending from the winding device 12 may be hooked on the first retainer 16 may be defined on one side of the winding device 12, while the second contraction region 22 in which the elongated member 14 hooked on the first retainer 16 and extending from the first contraction region 20 is retained may be defined on the other side of the winding device 12. Therefore, the pulling action of the elongated member 14 wound by the winding device 12 may cause the garment cloth to be contracted reliably.
  • the garment cloth of the first and second contraction regions 20, 22 on both sides of the winding device 12 can be simultaneously pulled with one operation of the winding device 12, thereby securing a large width of size adjustment.
  • the present invention also provides a garment including the wear size adjustment mechanism.
  • the present invention provides a wear size adjustment mechanism that enables efficient and wide adjustment of a wear size with less adjusting operation and restricts and adjusts the wear size in the direction of adjustment, and also provides a garment having the adjustment mechanism.

  • the distance of pulling the garment cloth may be doubled in the second contraction region 22.
  • the adjustment mechanism 10 as a whole may enable efficient and wide adjustment of a wear size with less adjusting operation. Since efficient and wide adjustment of a wear size is possible with less adjusting operation, the wear size adjustment mechanism can be downsized as far as possible to be disposed in a limited space of the garment. In this arrangement, the winding device 12 may be shifted leftward in Fig. 3 such that the second contraction region 22 is larger than the first contraction region 20, thereby to further increase the efficiency of size adjustment.

That is, in the embodiment, the second retainer 18 may include the above-mentioned transparent tube 18a that may be divided in the height direction Y into two parts (the transparent tubes 18aa, 18ab). Alternatively, the transparent tube 18a may be divided into three or more parts. As in the first embodiment, these transparent tubes 18aa, 18ab may be externally and integrally covered with the cloth 18b sewed on the front body 2A so as to be fixed on the front body 2A.

  • the second retainer 18 may include the above-mentioned transparent tube 18a of the first embodiment, and guide sections 30, 32 that are connected to the opposite ends of the tube 18a and opened toward the first retainer 16.
  • Fig. 8 illustrates a wear size adjustment mechanism 10A according to a fifth embodiment.
  • the winding device 12 and the second retainer 18 may have a different form than in the first embodiment. More specifically, the second retainer 18 of the adjustment mechanism 10A may only include retaining guide sections 18c, 18c that correspond to the upper end and the lower end of the transparent tube 18a of the first embodiment, and the retaining guide sections 18c, 18c may retain and guide the elongated member 14.
  • the winding device 12 may not have the pair of guide sections 12b, 12c positioned on the top and bottom of the winding device 12.
  • Fig. 9 illustrates a wear size adjustment mechanism 10B according to a sixth embodiment.
  • the winding device 12 and the second retainer 18 may have a different form than in the first embodiment.
  • the second retainer 18 of the adjustment mechanism 10B may include a first fixing member 18d for fixing the portion of the elongated member 14 hooked on the first retaining member 16a and extending from the first hooking region 24 to the second contraction region 22, and a second fixing member 18e for fixing the portion of the elongated member 14 hooked on the second retaining member 16b and extending from the second hooking region 26 to the second contraction region 22.
  • the first and second fixing members 18d, 18e may be disposed at positions corresponding to the upper end and the lower end of the transparent tube 18a of the first embodiment. Therefore, in this arrangement, the elongated member 14 may be divided into two parts 14a, 14b and may not form a loop.
  • the wear size adjustment mechanisms 10 may be disposed on the left and right waist portions 6a, 6b, but it may also be possible that only one wear size adjustment 10 is disposed on one of the waist portions.
  • the adjustment mechanism 10 may not necessarily be disposed on the waist portions 6a, 6b, and may also be used for, e.g., adjusting the distance between the left and right front bodies 2A, 2B.
  • the floating vest 1 may not have a fastener 8 (may not open in the front), and thus may be put on and taken off via a wearer's head.
  • the adjustment mechanism 10 may not necessarily be disposed on a floating vest 1, and the present invention may also be used for various other kinds of garments.
  • the elongated member may be a wire, but the material thereof is also not particularly limited.
  • the adjustment mechanism described above can be reversed. That is, the first retainer 16 may be disposed on the front body 2A side and the second retainer 18 on the back body 3 side.
