TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a shoulder pad, and more particularly to a shoulder pad that adjusts the shoulders of a blouse, suit, jacket, and the like, and also has an excellent cool feeling.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various shoulder pads have been proposed or used in order to trim a shoulder by installing it on a shoulder such as a blouse or a shirt. For example, the shoulder pad described in Utility Model Registration No. 3021075 is formed by covering the core 11 with two cloths 12 on the front and back, as shown in FIG.
[0003]
The core 11 is composed of a laminated middle material 13 and a nonwoven fabric 14 covering both surfaces of the middle material 13. The core body 11 has a concave curved surface portion on the back surface side, a middle-high thickness portion substantially at the center on the front surface side, and a thin portion on the periphery. The core body 11 is formed by using a material such as the nonwoven fabric 14 or the intermediate material 13 described above, for example, pressure-molding a synthetic resin foam such as urethane foam, As described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. H10-209, a laminated nonwoven fabric is formed by quilting, or a laminate of four to six nonwoven fabrics having a thickness of about 2 mm is heated and pressed to form a core material of a shoulder pad.
[0004]
On the other hand, in the shoulder pad described in JP-A-2001-295119, as shown in FIG. 5, a core 21 is formed by pressing and heating one to three nonwoven fabrics made of fibers and an adhesive. The core 21 is covered with a stretchable stretchable fabric 22. This makes it possible to provide a shoulder pad that has advantages such as being inexpensive, easy to manufacture, good in moldability, and not deformed by hand washing.
[0005]
However, conventional ones such as the shoulder pads described in both publications can achieve the purpose of shaping shoulders such as blouses and shirts, especially when they are worn on short-sleeved clothing in summer and the like. In addition, the place where the shoulder pad was attached and the surrounding area felt sultry and there was room for improvement.
[0006]
Thus, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, it has been proposed to form a shoulder pad using a cloth 31 in which a large number of small-diameter holes 32 are formed by punching using a punching roller or the like.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the use of the cloth 31 having a large number of punched holes 32 as described above increases the manufacturing cost of the shoulder pad and increases the cost of the shoulder pad.
[0008]
Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the problems in the conventional shoulder pad and the method of manufacturing the same, and provides a shoulder pad that is inexpensive, has a cool feeling, is lightweight, and has excellent shape retention. The purpose is to:
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a shoulder pad in which the back surface is formed as a concave curved surface portion, the front surface is formed as a middle and high-thick portion substantially at the center, and the peripheral edge is formed as a thin portion. Wherein at least a part or the whole of the front surface or the back surface is formed of a mesh-like nonwoven fabric or a mesh-like knitted fabric.
[0010]
According to the present invention, at least a part or the whole of the front surface or the back surface of the shoulder pad is formed of a mesh-like nonwoven fabric or a mesh-like knitted fabric, so that a shoulder pad with improved air permeability and a cool feeling can be provided. Here, instead of using a cloth in which a large number of punched holes are punched by a punching roller or the like as in the past, a mesh-shaped nonwoven fabric or a mesh-shaped knitted fabric is used. Can be provided. Furthermore, when a mesh-shaped knitted fabric is used, it can also serve as a walnut material, so that the fabric and processing allowance can be omitted, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and the lead time can be shortened.
[0011]
The shoulder pad may be entirely formed of a mesh-like nonwoven fabric or a mesh-like knitted fabric, and the entire front surface and the back surface of the core pad may be formed of a mesh-like nonwoven fabric or a mesh-like knitted fabric. The use of a mesh-like nonwoven fabric made of polyester can provide a particularly lightweight shoulder pad, and the use of a mesh-shaped knitted fabric made of polyester stabilizes the quality.
[0012]
Further, it is preferable that the shoulder pad is formed so as to be thin and small in area on the front side and thick and large in area on the back side with respect to the ridge line. As a result, the shape takes into account the clavicle and the scapula of the human body, and the shoulder pad does not slip to the rear side when worn, and the feeling of wearing is improved.
[0013]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Next, a specific example of an embodiment of a shoulder pad according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0014]
FIGS. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of a shoulder pad according to the present invention. This shoulder pad is composed of a core 1 and two front and back mesh nonwoven fabrics 2 covering the core 1. .
[0015]
The core 1 is formed of a resin cotton such as polyester in order to maintain elasticity and shape retention. As shown in FIG. 1, the core body 1 has a rear surface formed as a concave curved surface portion, a front surface formed as a middle and high-thick portion substantially at the center, and a convex portion formed with a peripheral edge as a thin portion. The maximum thickness is about 15 mm, and the maximum thickness can be in the range of 5 mm to 30 mm depending on fashion or the like.
[0016]
The mesh-shaped nonwoven fabric 2 covering the core body 1 is formed by a water-dropping method or a water-entanglement method using polyester or the like, is cut into a desired shape and size, and is coated with an adhesive 3. The body 1 is covered, then heated and pressurized, and finally the peripheral edge is scraped off and sutured. Thus, the shoulder pad as shown in FIG. 2 is completed. It is preferable to attach a planar fastener 4 to the surface of the mesh-shaped nonwoven fabric 2 so that the shoulder pad can be easily attached to and detached from the shoulder of the blouse.
[0017]
As described in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3021075, it is important to design the shoulder pad from an ergonomic point of view. In the human shoulder, the anterior part and the posterior part are formed asymmetrically at the shoulder line connecting the base of the neck and the reference point of the shoulder tip, and the front part has a collarbone, so the shoulder pad In order to conform to the shape of the human shoulder, the front part needs to be formed thinner than the rear part.
[0018]
Further, it is preferable that the recessed portion of the scapula portion of the rear shoulder is formed to be thick and large, which can prevent the shoulder pad from slipping backward. Also, the area ratio between the front side portion and the rear side portion needs to be appropriate from the viewpoint of ergonomics as described in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3021075. In addition, the shoulder of the human body is the front shoulder, and the right shoulder and the left shoulder are symmetrical with respect to the center line of the human body, so it is necessary to prepare shoulder pads of shapes suitable for the right shoulder and the left shoulder respectively There is.
[0019]
Next, a second embodiment of the shoulder pad according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
[0020]
In this embodiment, all the shoulder pads are formed of the mesh-like nonwoven fabric 5. That is, a plurality of mesh-shaped nonwoven fabrics 5 cut into a desired shape and size are laminated, then heated and pressed, and finally sewn with an overlock sewing machine while shaving off the peripheral edge to complete a shoulder pad. The same nonwoven fabric 2 as in the first embodiment can be used as the mesh nonwoven fabric 2. Further, it is preferable to attach a planar fastener 6 to the surface of the mesh-shaped nonwoven fabric 2 in order to easily attach / detach the shoulder pad to / from the shoulder of the blouse. In this embodiment, since the entire shoulder pad is formed of the mesh-shaped nonwoven fabric 5, it is possible to provide a cooler and more lightweight shoulder pad.
[0021]
In addition, in the said Example, although the shoulder pad was formed using the mesh-shaped nonwoven fabric manufactured by the water-dropping or the hydroentanglement manufacturing method etc. using polyester etc. as a material, instead of a mesh-shaped nonwoven fabric, it is manufactured comparatively cheaply. The shoulder pad can also be formed using a mesh-like knitted fabric.
[0022]
The mesh-shaped knitted fabric may be a vertical knitted mesh used for the back of a jacket or sportswear, a flat knitted mesh used for a jumper cuff or a collar, or a half-knitted fabric. There is a mesh-like knitted fabric that is cut and widened and used for underwear or the like, or a knitted one of a required size is used for stockings or the like. Circular knitted ones are preferred.
[0023]
For spring and summer jackets such as blouses and dresses, walnut shoulder pads are used. At this time, in the case of a shoulder pad using a mesh-like nonwoven fabric, the shoulder pad is formed by wrapping the entire body with a knitted fabric cloth. Is directly wrapped with a mesh-shaped knitted fabric, whereby a shoulder pad can be formed, and a mesh-shaped nonwoven fabric can be used as a walnut material, which is preferable.
[0024]
Further, when a far-infrared nonwoven fabric is used as the middle material, and the mesh-like nonwoven fabric or the mesh-like knitted fabric is used on the front and back, the balance of blood flow is adjusted by the far-infrared effect, and tension and stiffness generated from cooling of the body. Can be relieved and contribute to health through fashion.
