Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a long-sleeved and short-sleeved cutter shirt having a normal appearance and which can be worn all year round while maintaining a natural opening and tightness at the collar even when a tie is removed while keeping the normal cutter shirt. SOLUTION: A hook-and-loop fastener is attached to the inside 3 of a collar, and the fasteners are joined to prevent the collar from being disturbed. The hook-and-loop fastener is attached to the back of the collar, which is never visible, not to the tip of the collar. When wearing a tie, it does not work because the tie is sandwiched between them, but when the tie is removed, the joining function works and the independence of the collar is automatically maintained.

Description

In the present invention, a surface fastener is attached to a place inside the collar of the cutter shirt that cannot be seen from the surface, and when the tie etc. is removed with Cool Biz etc., this joins and the collar adheres, and the collar spreads too much or rises. It is about the collar of a cutter shirt, which is intended to prevent it from slipping and keep the shape of the collar smart when not wearing a tie.

Conventionally, in order to prevent the tip of the collar of the cutter shirt from spreading or rising, a buttonhole is provided at the place where it hits the tips of both collars and it is stopped with a button (the product name is already "button down"). (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2015-30961), and there is an idea of fixing the triangular part at the tip of the collar with Velcro (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-325801).

For many workers who are based on suits, it is common practice to take off the collar, tie, and the top button of the cutter shirt during the cool biz season, but at this time it has become a habit. For cutter shirts whose collar is not fixed by buttons, etc., the collar can be opened by removing the tie and the button, but due to the release of the cutter shirt's fabric and the resilience, the collar may spread too much or the collar itself may rise. , The appearance and impression were disturbed, and I was often worried that it was not suitable for the time and the case.
Therefore, for Cool Biz, I buy a shirt that can fix the collar with buttons etc., but even if I make a new purchase, these buttons etc. are not always necessary when wearing a tie, and it is troublesome to put on and take off. In addition to the unreasonable aspects such as the trouble of daily washing and ironing, there are some doubts that the consumption of new supplies is against the eco even though it is Cool Biz for eco in the first place. It was.
Also, each published proposal is simpler and easier than a button one, and while it is an improvement that such materials and features are a little hard to see, it is hard to say that they are never visible, at least "fixed". The point that you can see, the point that the tip of the collar is always completely squeezed by being forcibly tied up, the natural texture is impaired, and this squeeze regardless of whether you wear a tie or not There was a problem in that those who thought that the collar was unnecessary felt that it was unnecessary.

In order to solve the above problem, a hook-and-loop fastener is used, and a set is placed inside near the left and right ends of the folded collar, that is, in the area where the tie fits, in a position that cannot be seen from the surface (see Fig. 1-2). Place them face-to-face, and attach them so that they join each other only when there is no tie.
This hook-and-loop fastener is called "magic tape" in the existing product name, and the so-called male side consisting of hook-shaped protrusions and the loop-shaped female side that receives it are separate, or male and female are separated. Any of the mixed types without the above may be used.
The shape and mounting position are described in the later section "Modes for Carrying Out the Invention".

If you wear a cutter shirt with the present invention, even if you remove the tie and the top button of the cutter shirt, it seems that no special measures are taken to fix the collar, but no awareness or treatment is required. Instead, you can use the same cutter shirt as it is to prevent the collar from spreading too much or rising, giving the impression of being disturbed, and maintaining a natural collar style.
Especially for short-sleeved shirts used in the summer, as the name "open collar shirt" suggests, it is desirable to open the collar in a natural shape to some extent from the viewpoint of the season, so it is cooler to not forcibly tie it up because there are no buttons etc. Impression is good.
In addition, you will be freed from the hassle of attaching and detaching buttons and snaps on a daily basis.
As mentioned above, with the added function of incorporating a small piece of hook-and-loop fastener inside the collar, you do not have to worry about disrespectful interpersonal rituals in the summer, and you can use the same cutter shirt casually throughout the year. It will be possible to continue. Therefore, it is also economical.

As for the shape of the hook-and-loop fastener to be attached, it is preferable to use a thin one as much as possible because the tie is sandwiched and overlapped when the tie is worn. Both male and female and mixed types should have short hair, be soft, and adhere well permanently.
Since it is installed in a hidden position, the type of color is not limited, but a lighter color that matches the color of the fabric of the cutter shirt is desirable.
The size of the hook-and-loop fastener does not need to be so large because it is a part where vigorous movement does not occur so much, and it may be a circular, elliptical, or square shape of about a one-yen coin, and the smallest piece may be used depending on the bonding ability.
The mounting position is just an image, as illustrated in the figure. Depending on the size of the shirt itself, it may move up and down to some extent. (See Fig. 1-2)
With this positioning, the hook-and-loop fastener is not even visible, and the front and lower ends of the collar are not fixed and remain open, so it does not appear to be fixed or individually tied by some mechanism. , It is possible to make the collar stick and stand on its own while keeping the natural collar without any intention.
When wearing a tie, both sides of the tie come into contact with this hook-and-loop fastener, and some friction is unavoidable. Although it is a non-exposed part, in order to protect the tie as much as possible, in the case of a male and female hook-and-loop fastener, it is desirable to attach the male side to the side that hits the back side of the tie.

Claims (4)

For long-sleeved and short-sleeved cutter shirts that do not have buttons, buttonholes, snaps, etc. to fix the collar to the collar, paired surface fasteners are placed on both sides of the folded collar, in a position that is not visible from the face. A long-sleeved and short-sleeved cutter shirt that has the characteristic that the collar is in close contact and becomes independent when the surface fastener is joined. The attached hook-and-loop fastener according to claim 1 does not function because the tie or the like is sandwiched between them when the tie or the like is worn, but when the tie or the like is not worn, the attached surface fastener does not function. The listed cutter shirt. Since the hook-and-loop fastener of claim 1 is attached to the back of the folded collar instead of the tip of the collar, the tip of the collar is not fixed. As a result, when wearing a tie, the tie allows it to stand in close contact with the tie while it looks like there are no special features such as buttons or snaps, and it can maintain the natural texture without the collar being tied up. Item 1. The cutter shirt according to item 1.
