Description

  The present invention relates to a collar retainer that is attached to the inside of a base collar of a shirt with a collar such as a folded shirt and a cutter shirt, more specifically, the first button at the top of the collar is removed, or The present invention relates to a collar retainer used for a shirt with a collar that is folded in a state where the front part of the collar is opened, such as a case where a first button is not attached to the upper part.

  Shirts with collars, such as shirts and cutter shirts, are packed and transported in a folded state, and are displayed and sold by being stacked several times in a folded state. In the folded state as seen during normal packaging, display, and sale, this collared shirt has a three-dimensional shape with the collar protruding from the top surface of the folded shirt. There is a problem that the collar around the collar may be deformed due to contact / collision, or the weight of other shirts with collars stacked on top during display / sales. Therefore, various shape holders have been developed in order to maintain the shape of the folded collared shirt around the collar.

  For example, as seen in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 06-030717, a projecting piece is provided at one end of a main body formed in a belt shape with a thin plate having appropriate waist and flexibility, and in the vicinity of the other end 2. Description of the Related Art A shirt collar retainer in which a plurality of long grooves into which protrusions are to be inserted is arranged at appropriate intervals is known. In this type of collar retainer of the conventional type assembled and used in an annular shape, two tongue pieces are formed integrally with the main body so as to protrude downward from the lower edge on the left and right sides near the center of the main body. ing. Two tongues that can be bent along the lower edge of the shirt's front and back body so that the shape retainer applied to the inside of the collar does not shift in the circumferential direction or float upward It is inserted between.

  However, the conventional shape retainer described above is not always sufficient because prevention of positional deviation in the circumferential direction of the collar depends on only two tongue pieces.

Therefore, in order to eliminate the disadvantages of the conventional collar shaper, a collar piece is formed at the center of the main body as seen in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2579565. When the collar is worn around the collar, the collar piece is inserted between the overlapping collars at the front of the collar and hooked on the sewing thread of the first button on the collar to prevent circumferential displacement. Collar retainers have been developed.
No. 06-030717 Noto 2579565

  This latter shape retainer is intended for use with a shirt with a collar that has a first button attached to the front of the collar, and the shirt with the collar is folded with the first button on the front of the collar fastened. It is a shape retainer that can be worn using the first button and keep the shape around the collar, but in the shirt with collar there is no first button attached to the front of the collar In some cases, the front part of the collar is always open, and such a shirt with a collar is out of use.

  Even if the shirt has a collar with the first button attached to the front of the collar, it is better to remove the first button and keep the collar open with the front of the collar open. In some cases, it may be natural from the viewpoint of the eye, or it may be excellent from the viewpoint of the beauty of the front part of the collar.

  Therefore, the present invention is a collar that can be folded and can retain the shape around the collar of a shirt with a collar in a state where the front part of the collar is opened regardless of the presence or absence of the first button at the top of the front part of the collar. It provides shape retainers.

  The structure of the present invention taken in order to solve this problem will be described with reference to the reference numerals used in the drawings showing the embodiments. The present invention is a main body formed in a strip shape with an appropriate waist and flexible thin plate. 1 is a collar shaper provided with a projecting piece 2 at one end and an engaging portion 3 into which the projecting piece 2 is inserted and engaged at the other end. The sandwiching pieces 4a and 4b for sandwiching the left and right base collars 13a and 13b at the front of the shirt collar are formed.

  According to this invention, the structure which formed the clamping piece which inserts two cuts in the center part of the main body formed in the strip | belt shape with the thin board which has an appropriate waist | hip | lumbar, and flexibility, and pinches the right and left collars of the collar front part of a shirt. Therefore, in a shirt with a collar that is folded with the front part of the collar open, each of the left and right collars in front of the collar in the open state must be pinched by causing the holding pieces of the collar retainer Thus, the shape around the collar can be reliably held at the same time while holding the state in which the front part of the collar is opened with the two holding pieces. For collared shirts that have not been fitted with the first button at the top of the collar that could not be handled by conventional shape holders, and shirts with a collar that have been folded with the first button removed. The shape, structure, and beauty around the collar of a shirt with this type of collar can be reliably maintained.

  In carrying out the present invention, the lower edge 7 and the upper edge 8 of the main body 1 formed in a band shape may be V-shaped, inverted V-shaped, linear or other shapes, and are not limited. Although the lower edge 7 of the main body 1 is inclined in a substantially inverted V shape from the left and right ends toward the center, the inclination angle increases from the left and right ends toward the center. At the same time, when the tongue pieces 5 and 5 are formed so as to protrude from the lower edges 7 on both the left and right sides in the vicinity of the center of the main body 1, the protrusion 2 is inserted into and engaged with an appropriate engagement portion 3 to hold the collar. When the shaper is made annular, the tongue pieces 5, 5 protruding from the lower edge 7 on the front side of the collar holder and the lower edges 7 on both the right and left sides near the center on the front side are raised from the mounting surface. When this is put on a shirt with a collar, the tongue pieces 5 and 5 have the front body 14 in front of the collar upward. Ready to raise Chi, opened collar front of the left and right neckband 13a, 13b can be neatly held with the launched upward. In addition, the collar shaper can be prevented from floating upward and coming off the shirt.

  In this case, the lower edge 7 of the main body 1 may be configured such that the substantially inverted V-shaped inclination angle gradually increases from the left and right ends toward the center, or may increase gradually. In addition, the tongue pieces 5 and 5 are formed to protrude from the lower edges 7 on both the right and left sides in the vicinity of the central portion. However, the “near central portion” is not limited to a clear position. When the tongue pieces 5 and 5 are in a position where the front body 14 in front of the collar can be lifted upward when mounted on the shirt with the collar, and the collar retainer is annularly placed on the placement surface When the tongue pieces 5 and 5 are lifted from the mounting surface, for example, in the case where the inclination angle is increased in two steps from the left and right ends toward the center, a substantially inverted V-shaped inclination angle. Means one of the positions on the slope line of which is larger.

  Further, the shape and structure of the two sandwiching pieces 4a and 4b formed in the central portion of the main body are arbitrary and not limited. For example, the sandwiching piece 4a is located on the upper left side toward the central portion of the main body 1. The sandwiching piece 4b is formed in a shape extending downward from the upper base portion on the right side toward the lower side, and when being attached to the shirt, the sandwiching piece 4a is The left base collar 13a is sandwiched from above, and the sandwiching piece 4b is sandwiched from the right base collar 13b from above, or the sandwiching piece 4a is located at the center of the main body 1 from the right base to the left. The sandwiching piece 4b is formed in a shape that extends downward from the upper base on the right side toward the center of the main body 1, and the sandwiching piece 4a is the front part of the collar of the shirt when worn on the shirt. Sandwiched Oite left side of the neckband 13a from the side, pinching pieces 4b can be implemented as a configuration such as to sandwich the right side neckband 13b from above.

  Further, when the holding groove 4a is formed with an engaging groove 41 that can be engaged with the first button 11 of the top collar 13a at the top of the collar, when the collar retainer is attached to a shirt with a collar Further, the base collar 13a can be sandwiched with the clamping piece 4a engaged with the button 11 of the base collar 13a, and the clamping piece 4b can be inserted into the button hole of the first button 11 of the top collar 13b at the top of the collar. If it implements by the structure currently formed so that insertion to 12 is possible, the base collar 13b can be inserted | pinched in the state which inserted the clamping piece 4b in the button hole 12 of the base collar 13b. Accordingly, it is possible to hold the base collars 13a and 13b at the front part of the collar while more reliably preventing the collar shaper from being displaced in the circumferential direction or rising.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below together with illustrated examples. FIGS. 1 to 4 are views for explaining a collar holder according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a plan view, FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 1, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a side view showing a state in which the collar holder is placed in an annular shape.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the main body 1 formed by cutting out a plastic sheet such as polystyrene having appropriate elasticity is a substantially inverted V-shaped body as a whole. ing. More specifically, a first inclined portion 7a having a small inverted V-shaped inclination angle extends from the left and right ends toward the central portion of the lower edge 7 of the main body 1 and passes through a bending point 7b, whereby an inverted V-shaped inclination angle is obtained. The second inclined portion 7c having a large width continues, and the width between the upper edge 6 and the lower edge 7 increases from the left and right ends toward the sandwiching pieces 4a and 4b at the center. Is formed. A plurality of vertically long ellipses are provided at one end in the longitudinal direction so as to project outwardly, and in the vicinity of the other end, a plurality of vertically long ellipses are juxtaposed at appropriate intervals in order to insert the projecting pieces 2. Of the engaging portions 3, 3. By inserting and engaging the projecting piece 2 with the engagement portion 3 at an appropriate position among the plurality of engagement portions 3, 3..., The collar retainer is appropriately sized according to the size of the shirt collar. It is made to be able to be made into an annular shape.

  As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 2, the projecting piece 2 is formed such that both side edges thereof are inclined from the projecting tip side toward the connecting portion with the main body 1, and the width gradually increases. A narrow portion 21 that is one step smaller is formed at the connecting portion. The width of the small width portion 21 is smaller than the length of the engaging portion 3, but the width of the nearest 22 of the small width portion 21 is formed larger than the length of the engaging portion 3. Therefore, when the main body 1 is annular and the protruding piece 2 is inserted into the engaging portion 3, no further insertion into the engaging portion 3 is possible in the immediate vicinity 22 of the small width portion 21, but the protruding piece 2 is flexible. By utilizing the fact that the protrusion 2 is bent, the protrusion 2 can be pushed into the engaging portion 3. When the projecting piece 2 is pushed into the engaging portion 3 to the position where the small width portion 21 is formed, the bent portion in the immediate vicinity 22 of the small width portion 21 is elastically restored and the projecting piece 2 and the engaging portion 3 are engaged. It becomes. Since the material has a waist, the natural restoring force that the main body 1 tries to return to a straight line works, but the immediate vicinity 22 of the small width part 21 is caught by the engaging part 3, so The engagement state between the protrusion 2 and the engagement portion 3, that is, the annular state of the main body 1 can be maintained without the protrusion 2 coming out of the engagement portion 3 even by the restoring force.

  The second inclined portion 7c, which is the lower edge 7 on both the left and right sides in the vicinity of the central portion of the main body 1 and has a large inverted V-shaped inclination angle, is integrally connected to the second inclined portion 7c. The square tongue pieces 5 that can be bent along the connecting portion with the second inclined portion 7c are formed one by one in a symmetrical position. Although not applied in this embodiment, another notch of a length that does not intersect with the lower edge 7 is formed along the lower edge 7 at the connecting portion with the lower edge 7 of the tongue pieces 5 and 5. The raising operation of the tongue pieces 5 and 5 may be facilitated and the standing posture may be stabilized.

  The more important feature of the present invention is that sandwiching pieces 4a and 4b are provided between the two tongue pieces 5 and 5 and at the two left and right sides of the central portion of the main body 1. The sandwiching pieces 4 a and 4 b are formed by cutting on the plane of the main body 1. In this example, the holding piece 4a on the left side in the drawing extends from the upper base to a bar shape downward, and then the tip is J-turned to form an engagement groove 41 having an upper opening at the tip. It is configured. The right sandwiching piece 4b has a rod-like structure extending downward from the upper base. The left holding piece 4a faces the left side collar 13a from above, and the right holding piece 4b holds the right side collar 13b from above.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the collar shape holder is folded, and the shape around the collar of the collared shirt in which the first button 11 is removed and the left and right pedestal collars 13a and 13b are opened. Used for holding. In use, a length suitable for abutting the inner side of the shirt collar 13 among the engaging portions 3, 3,... The projecting piece 2 is inserted into an object, and the projecting piece 2 is pushed into the engaging section 3 until the narrow portion 21 of the projecting piece 2 reaches the engaging section 3, thereby engaging the projecting piece 2 and the engaging section 3. The main body 1 is made into an annular shape.

  At this time, the first inclined portion 7a having a small inverted V-shaped inclination angle extends from the left and right ends toward the central portion of the lower edge 7 of the main body 1 of the collar holder, and the inverted V shape passes through the bending point 7b. Since the second inclined portion 7c having a large letter-shaped inclination angle continues, when the main body 1 is placed on a plane in an annular state, the rear side of the annular main body 1 is seen as shown in FIG. The first inclined portion 7a is in contact with the ground, but the second inclined portion 7c on the front side of the main body 1 and the connecting side of the tongue pieces 5 and 5 with the second inclined portion 7c are in a floating state without contacting the ground.

  Therefore, after the tongue pieces 5 and 5 are raised to the outside of the ring and protruded obliquely downward, the center piece 1 is placed in front of the collar while the main body 1 is brought into contact with the inside of the base collar 13 of the shirt. When 5 and 5 are intervened between the front and back bodies 14 and 15, the first inclined portion 7 a on the back side of the ring-shaped main body 1 is in contact with the back body 15 at the back of the collar. The second inclined portion 7c on the front side is lifted without coming into contact with the back body 15, so that the tongue pieces 5 and 5 interposed between the front and back bodies 14 and 15 are also lifted, and the front part near the front of the collar Take the posture of lifting the stage 14 and holding it.

  In the drawing, the left holding piece 4a is pulled out to the outside of the ring, and is inserted into the left base collar 13a from above, so that the engaging groove 41 is locked to the first button 11 from below. The right gripping piece 4b is pulled out to the outside of the ring, and the base collar 13b is sandwiched from above while being inserted into the button hole 12 of the first button 11 from the inside of the right base collar 13b.

  In this state where the collar holder is mounted, the tongue pieces 5, 5 are intervened between the front and rear bodies 14, 15, and the engaging groove 41 of the holding piece 4a is below the first button 11. Since the collar retainer is not lifted off from the shirt, the clamping piece 4a is locked to the first button 11, and the clamping piece 4b is a button of the first button 11. Since it is inserted through the hole 12, the collar holder does not rotate in the left-right direction and does not cause a positional shift. Further, since the width between the upper edge 6 and the lower edge 7 is formed so that the sandwiching pieces 4a and 4b are formed in the central portion more than the left and right ends, the width of the opened front portion of the collar is increased. The holding pieces 4a, 13b have a sufficient width (height) that can hold the stand collars 13a, 13b in a raised state and can hold the stand collars 13a, 13b from above with the holding pieces 4a, 4b. 4b is secured at the place where it is formed, so that the collar shape retainer does not rise too much, and the collar shape retainer can be stably mounted around the collar of the shirt.

  In addition to the collar shape retainer of the present invention, a substantially Y-shaped shape retainer S is also mounted to hold the shape of the front body 14 near the front of the collar and its meeting portion.

  FIGS. 5 to 7 are views for explaining the collar holder of the second embodiment of the present application. The difference from the first embodiment is that it is formed on the left and right sides of the central portion as shown in FIG. Further, the sandwiching pieces 4a and 4b are cut and formed so as to have a substantially “eight” -shaped symmetrical structure. More specifically, in the present example, the left holding piece 4a in the drawing has a structure in which it extends in a rod shape outward from the upper base on the left side toward the center and then curves to the left, The right sandwiching piece 4b extends from the upper base on the right side toward the center toward the lower outer side in a bar shape and then curves to the right.

  In use, the projecting piece 2 and the engaging portion 3 are engaged to make the main body 1 annular, and the main body 1 is brought into contact with the inside of the shirt collar 13 while the central portion of the main body 1 is positioned in front of the collar. The process up to the point where the tongue pieces 5 and 5 are intervened between the front and back bodies 14 and 15 is the same as in the first embodiment, and then the left holding piece 4a is pulled out to the outside in the figure. While holding the curved portion of the clamping piece 4a against the first button 11, the base collar 13a in front of the left side of the collar is sandwiched from above, and the right clamping piece 4b is pulled out to the outside of the ring, The wearing state shown in FIG. 6 is obtained by sandwiching the base collar 13b in front of the right collar from above.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the collar retainer of the present embodiment is folded around the collar of a shirt with a collar in which the first button is not attached and the front of the collar is open. It can also be used to maintain the shape of In use, the difference from the above case is that in the drawing, the left holding piece 4a is pulled out to the outside of the ring, the left front collar 13a is held from above, and the right holding piece 4b is By pulling out to the outside of the ring and sandwiching the base collar 13b in front of the right collar from above, the mounting state shown in FIG. 7 is obtained.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the collar shape retainer of the third embodiment of the present application. The difference from the first embodiment is that the main body 1 has a substantially inverted V-shape as a whole, More specifically, a linear first inclined portion 7a having a small inverted V-shaped inclination angle extends from the left and right ends toward the central portion of the lower edge 7 of the main body 1, and passes through a bending point 7b to be inverted V-shaped. This is a point in which a curved second inclined portion 7c in which the mold inclination angle gradually increases continues. Then, instead of the tongue pieces 5 and 5, triangular holding pieces 8 and 8 are formed so as to protrude from the second inclined portion 7c substantially immediately below the positions where the holding pieces 4a and 4b are formed. Unlike the tongue pieces 5 and 5 of the first embodiment, the holding pieces 8 and 8 are not folded back along the lower edge 7 but elastically curved toward the front side. Further, the sandwiching pieces 4a and 4b formed on the left and right sides of the central portion of the main body 1 are cut and formed in a rod shape that extends downward from the upper base portion toward the central portion.

  In use, the projecting piece 2 and the engaging portion 3 are engaged to make the main body 1 annular, and the main body 1 is brought into contact with the inside of the shirt collar 13 while the central portion of the main body 1 is positioned in front of the collar. The left holding piece 4a faces the left front collar 13a from above, and the left holding piece 4b holds the right front collar 13b from above. On the other hand, the holding pieces 8 and 8 are elastically bent toward the front side and are attached by intervening between the front and rear bodies 14 and 15. In this state, the front collar portion of the shirt is elastically held by the holding pieces 8 and 8 from the inside while the front body 14 is held under the front body 14 while holding the left and right base collars 13a and 13b from the front side with the holding pieces 4a and 4b Since it is held in close contact with the collar, it is possible to maintain a beautiful shape without forming wrinkles in the front part of the collar.

  FIG. 9 is a view for explaining the collar shape retainer of the fourth embodiment of the present application. The difference from the first embodiment is that the main body 1 has the upper edge 6 of the main body 1 facing from the left and right ends toward the center. The lower edge 7 is formed in a straight line by being inclined in an inverted V shape at a substantially constant inclination angle. As a result, as in the first embodiment, the width between the upper edge 6 and the lower edge 7 is formed so as to increase from the left and right end sides toward the sandwiching pieces 4a, 4b at the center. In addition, saddle-shaped cuts 9 and 9 which are bent to the center side after standing up directly from the outer lower edge 7 adjacent to the connecting portion of the tongue pieces 5 and 5 are provided. This is because when the projecting piece 2 is engaged with the engaging portion 3 to make the main body 1 into an annular shape, the curvature of the lower edge 7 of the connecting portion of the tongue pieces 5 and 5 is relaxed, and the tongue pieces 5 and 5 are It is easy to fold to the front side. A sandwiching piece 4a is cut and formed toward the left side with the right side as the base toward the center of the main body 1. As shown in the figure, a part of the sandwiching piece 4a is branched and extends upward, and an engagement groove 41 is formed at the tip of the first button 11 so that the first button 11 can be engaged. The other part 42 of the clamping piece 4a extends to the left side and presses the base collar 13a or the front body 14. On the right side, similarly to the first embodiment, a rod-shaped holding piece 4b extending downward from the upper base is formed.

  In use, the projecting piece 2 and the engaging portion 3 are engaged to make the main body 1 annular, and the main body 1 is brought into contact with the inside of the shirt collar 13 while the central portion of the main body 1 is positioned in front of the collar. The procedure up to the point where the tongue pieces 5 and 5 are intervened between the front and back bodies 14 and 15 is the same as that of the first embodiment, and thereafter, as shown in FIG. The holding piece 4a is pulled out annularly from between the base collar 13a and the base collar 13b, and the engaging groove 41 is engaged with the first button 11 while the left base collar 13a is sandwiched from the side toward the side, and The right holding piece 4b is pulled out to the outside of the ring, and the base collar 13b is sandwiched from above with the right side front collar 13b inserted through the button hole 12 of the first button 11 from the inside of the right front collar 13b. Wear by.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the collar shape retainer of the fifth embodiment of the present application. The difference from the fourth embodiment is that the main body 1 has a substantially V-shaped shape as a whole. Specifically, the upper edge 6 and the lower edge 7 of the main body 1 are configured to be inclined in a V shape at a substantially constant inclination angle from the left and right ends toward the center. The inclination angle of the upper edge 6 is made smaller than the inclination angle of the lower edge 7, so that the width between the upper edge 6 and the lower edge 7 is the central portion from the left and right ends as in the fourth embodiment. The sandwiching pieces 4a and 4b are formed so as to increase in size. A clamping piece 4a is cut and formed toward the left side with the position on the right side toward the center of the main body 1 as a base. As shown in the figure, the tip of the sandwiching piece 4 a is bent upward, and an engagement groove 41 is formed at the tip of the pin so that it can be engaged with the first button 11. The right clamping piece 4b is the same as in the fourth embodiment. The mounting on the shirt is the same as in the fourth embodiment.
