Description

The present invention relates to a garment having a hem adjuster and its use. As clothes, for example, trousers, skirts, culottes, kimonos, etc. can be used. Below, trousers are taken as an example.

The length of the hem of trousers is generally adjusted by adjusting the length of the hem to an appropriate position and then sewing the hem using thread. However, in the case of trousers worn by growing children or trousers worn by multiple people, such as rental costumes, it is necessary to adjust the length of the hem frequently. It is troublesome to sew with Further, if the length of the hem is repeatedly adjusted in this way, the fabric will be gradually damaged.

To solve this problem, it is known to attach a plurality of fastener strips to the inside of the trouser cuffs. By removing the attached fastener pieces to adjust the length of the hem, and then attaching them again, the hem can be easily adjusted. Examples of fastener pieces include hook and loop fasteners (for example, JP-A-9-316709), buttons with threads (for example, Design Registration No. 1457830), and snap fasteners (for example, JP-A-2002-115112). . The present inventor has also proposed a hook-and-loop fastener having a large number of cylindrical projections on its surface (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2018-35457).

JP-A-9-316709 Design Registration No. 1457830 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-115112 JP 2018-35457

Since dust tends to accumulate around the hem of the trousers, hook-and-loop hook-and-loop fasteners tend to lose their adhesiveness due to adhesion of dust and the like. Threaded buttons and snap fasteners have relatively large projections (buttons, snap fasteners), so when they come into contact with the body, they tend to feel foreign. A hook-and-loop fastener consisting of a large number of columnar projections has a block shape, so the attachment portion tends to be thick.

The present invention has been made to solve these problems by attaching a hem adjuster that is hard to lose adhesion, has a small protruding portion, has an extremely thin mounting portion, and can be adjusted in fine pitch. The purpose is to provide clothes (for example, trousers)

The present invention for solving the above problems is a garment 1 having a plurality of hem adjusters 2 attached thereto, each hem adjuster 2 comprising a tape fabric 22 and a tape fabric 22 either below or above the tape fabric 22. The tape material 22 has a plurality of cross-links provided in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and the locking device is selectively engaged with any one of the plurality of cross-links. It is characterized by being able to combine

As the tape fabric having a plurality of crosslinks provided in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, for example, a product known as "ladder tape" (JP-A-9-95838) can be used.

A hook or a button can be used as a locking tool that can be engaged with the bridge of the tape fabric.

The present invention includes the use of said hem adjusters 2 in a garment 1 to which a plurality of hem adjusters 2 are attached. In this method, each hem adjuster 2 is composed of a tape material 22 and a fastener provided either below or above the tape material 22, and the tape material 22 is longitudinally a step of providing a plurality of cross-links provided in a vertical direction on each of the plurality of cross-links, wherein the locking tool is selectively engageable with any one of the plurality of cross-links; and a step of finely adjusting the length of the hem by locking the locking tool.

According to the present invention, the tape material 22 having a plurality of bridges and the fasteners 21 separated from the tape material 22 are used as the fasteners of the hem adjuster. The fasteners are selectively engageable with any one of the plurality of bridges so that the adjusted position can be fixed after manual fine adjustment of the skirt length.

According to the method of use of the present invention, the hem length can be precisely finely adjusted by selecting upward or downward among a plurality of bridges and then locking the locking tool.

FIG.

Some embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 (the trousers 1 are drawn upside down), the hem adjuster 2 is attached to the hem portions 12 of the left and right cylindrical portions 11, 11 of the trousers 1. As shown in FIG. Generally, a total of four pieces are attached one by one to the inner side seam portion 13 so as not to be seen from the outside, but the number and attachment positions can be changed as required.

As shown in FIGS. 3-5, each hem adjuster 2 consists of two parts. One is a locking member 21 provided at the folded portion 20 of the hem, and the other is a tape material 22 provided around the hem. A plurality of cross-links are set in the tape material 22 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

As the locking tool 21, a round button with a diameter of 9 to 11 mm is used in the first embodiment. This round button is threaded to the folded portion 20 of the hem.

As the tape material 22 having a plurality of cross-links provided in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, a ladder-like tape known per se known as "ladder tape" (JP-A-9-95838) can be used.

The tape fabric 22 is composed of two band portions 23 and bridges 25 arranged so as to form slits 24 between the band portions 23 at appropriate intervals. The material is polyester fiber or other synthetic fiber.

In order to attach the tape material 22 to the trousers 1, the band portion 23 is used to sew the side sewn portion 13 of the trousers 1 with a thread 26 by a sewing machine. The attachment position of the tape 22 is arranged so as to extend upward along the side sewn portion 13 from the end of the hem except for the folded portion 20.例文帳に追加

Each dimension of the tape fabric 22 to be used can be appropriately adjusted according to the fabric to be attached and the size of the button to be used. In this example, the longitudinal tape length was 100-250 mm and the width was 20-30 mm. The width of each of the two belt portions 23 is 5 to 9 mm, the length of the bridges 25 (length of each slit 24) is 10 to 12 mm, and the interval between the bridges 25 (height of each slit 24) is 2. was ~4 mm.

An example of the method of manufacturing the ladder tape as the tape material 22 is described in [0007] to [0009] and [Fig. 1] to [Fig. Briefly, the belt portion 23 is woven from several (for example, 17) warp threads and weft threads. The bridges 25 narrow the wefts of the belt portion 23 by eight (four sets) to form slits 24 therebetween. The squeezing of the wefts is performed by four tying warps woven along the inner side of the belt portion and the tying threads woven so as to be entwined with the tying warps. The four tying warps are alternately woven with the eight (4 sets) of wefts, and the tying threads are crossed while turning left and right so as to be entwined with these four tying warps. .

To use, simply adjust the length of the hem 12 of the trousers 1 artificially and fit the button 21 into the slit 24 between the bridges 25 at the position considered appropriate. The state shown in FIG. 4(a) is changed to the state shown in FIG. 4(b). It's like putting a button through a buttonhole in a garment and fixing it. The adjustment work can be easily done by folding back the hem, exposing the back surface to the front side, and looking at the tape material 22. - 特許庁The button 21 cannot escape from the slit 24 unless it is intentionally removed from the slit 24, and is fixed at that position. Along with that, the position of the hem is also fixed.

In Example 2 shown in FIG. 6, the same ladder tape as in Example 1 is used as the tape material 22A. A difference from the first embodiment is that a legged button is used as the locking device 21A. This legged button has a fabric attachment portion and legs standing from the fabric attachment portion. Since other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, "A" is attached after the reference numerals of the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

The method of use is to hook the legs of the legged button 21A to the bridge 25A. The legged button 21A cannot be removed from the bridge 25A unless it is intentionally removed from the bridge 25A, and is fixed at that position. Along with that, the position of the hem is also fixed.

In Example 3 shown in FIG. 7, the same ladder tape as in Example 1 is used as the tape material 22B. A difference from the first embodiment is that a hook is used as the locking tool 21B. The hook has a fabric attachment portion and a U-shaped or J-shaped portion rising from the fabric attachment portion. Since other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, "B" is added after the reference numerals of the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

The method of use is to hook the U-shaped portion or J-shaped portion of the hook 21B to the bridge 25B. The hook 21B cannot be removed from the bridge 25B unless it is intentionally removed from the bridge 25B, and is fixed at that position. Along with that, the position of the hem is also fixed.

In Example 4 shown in FIG. 8, the same ladder tape as in Example 1 is used as the tape material 22C. The difference from Example 1 is that the four-hole round button 21C used as the locking device 21C is positioned above the tape material 22C, and the tape material 22C extends to near the end of the hem. Since other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, "C" is attached after the reference numerals of the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

The method of use is to manually adjust the hem length of the trousers 1 and fit the button 21C into the slit 24C between the bridges 25C at a position considered appropriate. The adjustment work can be easily done by folding back the hem, exposing the back surface to the front side, and looking at the tape material 22C. Unless the button 21C is intentionally taken out from the slit 24C, the button 21C cannot escape from the slit 24C and is fixed at that position. Along with that, the position of the hem is also fixed.

Although not shown, in the second and third embodiments as well, the locking tools (legged button 21A, hook 21B) can be arranged above the tape fabrics 22A, 22B.
