Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to work clothes having long sleeves, and more particularly to work clothes used in factories that are required to be hygienic.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In factories that manufacture food, pharmaceuticals, sanitary equipment, etc., hygiene management is strongly demanded not only for equipment but also for the worker's body and the work clothes worn, especially for work clothes. Various measures are taken so as to be in a hygienic state.
Hereinafter, a food factory will be described as an example. In such a factory, as shown in FIG. 3, the sleeve portion of the work clothes is for hygiene so that the arm of the worker does not directly contact the food. Long sleeves.
[0003]
Hereinafter, in the present specification, when explaining the sleeve portion of the work clothes, both the conventional product and the present invention product are all worn by the person, with the back of the hand up and the arm horizontally (for example, In the state as shown in FIGS. Therefore, the vertical direction is particularly important, and the upper side of the sleeve in this state is the side of the sleeve facing the ceiling. The underside of the sleeve is the side facing the floor side or the work table surface.
In addition, the [upper sleeve] defined with the arm in the horizontal position with the back of the hand up is facing the ceiling in that state and coincides with the back of the hand. ), The back of the hand turns outward on the side of the body, but the part that was [upper side of the sleeve] does not necessarily follow the rotation of the back of the hand completely, and the outside of the side of the body The position may have moved to the front side of the body by a minute amount.
[0004]
Conventionally, in the factory as described above, the cuffs of the work clothes are provided with the stretchable parts 21 that elastically fit the wrist. For example, the rubber is simply passed through a ring, and this is to prevent the cuffs from hanging down during operation and touching food on the work table surface. There is no particular problem with the clean cuffs touching the food first, but the cuffs once touched the food are often unsanitary over time. The stretchable portion of the cuff also serves to prevent body hair, dust and the like from being released from inside the work clothes.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when the present inventor examined the state of each part of the work clothes in more detail, it was newly found that the following problems to be further improved exist in the sleeve part.
That is, the cuffs of the work clothes are provided with elastic stretchable parts as described above, but as shown by the A part surrounded by the one-dot chain line in FIG. The problem is that no consideration is given to the rubbing of the food on the table, and it is easy to rub. On the other hand, the space from the cuffs to the elbow takes into account the space to pass the hands and arms when wearing, and the space to avoid giving a sense of tension in the movement during wearing, Helps rub the food on the table more. Because of this clearance, the part from the cuffs to the elbow is easily rubbed against food.
[0006]
In order to prevent rubbing of the above-mentioned part from the cuff to the elbow, it is difficult to attach and detach if the sleeve of the work clothes is simply thinned. For this, it is possible to use a knit material having elasticity, and form a thin sleeve that fits tightly over the arm, but such work clothes give a feeling of tightening to the entire arm. So uncomfortable to wear. In addition, materials that are usually fine in eyes, have water repellency, and are inexpensive, such as preferable for food processing, often do not have sufficient stretchability. For this reason, it is not preferable that the sleeves are simply made thin because a feeling of tension is felt in the elbow part during the bending operation of the arm.
[0007]
As described above, in the conventional work clothes, the consciousness is directed only to the detachability and the bending action of the arm, and a wide range is given from the cuff to the upper arm around the elbow. For this reason, the space from the cuffs to the elbows hangs down, but it does not matter at all about touching food.
[0008]
The object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to provide a work structure with a novel structure capable of suppressing the rubbing of the portion from the cuffs to the elbows as described above without impairing the operability during wearing. It is.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention has the following features.
(1) An elastically stretchable string-like member is installed in one or more installation locations between the cuffs and elbows in a direction that partially surrounds the outer periphery of the arm, and the string-like member has a natural length. When the wearer wears the work clothes and raises the back of the hand and puts the arm forward, the sleeve at the installation location is reduced in diameter, and the string member is Work clothes characterized in that they are installed at least so as not to pass under the sleeve.
[0010]
(2) The above description (1), wherein the length of the string-like member is 3% to 50% of the total circumference of the sleeve when the string-like member is extended to expand the sleeve at the installation location to the maximum aperture. Work clothes.
[0011]
(3) The work clothes according to the above (1), wherein the string-like member is provided at two places between the cuff and the elbow part with an interval of 2 cm to 10 cm.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings and showing specific examples.
The work clothes according to the present invention (hereinafter also referred to as “the work clothes”) have long sleeves, and as shown in an example in FIG. 1, one or more installation places between the cuff 1 and the elbow 2. Elastically stretchable string-like members 3 and 4 are installed at (two places in the figure). In the embodiment shown in the figure, the string-like members 3 and 4 are sewn on the inside of the sleeve and do not appear on the outside.
[0013]
The string-like members 3 and 4 are attached to the sleeve so as to be in the direction surrounding the arm and partially with respect to the entire circumference of the sleeve. The string-like members 3 and 4 are contracted to a natural length in a natural state (a state where no external force is applied), whereby the sleeve at the installation location is reduced in diameter. As shown in FIG. 1, the string-like members 3 and 4 are installed in a range that does not pass at least under the sleeve.
[0014]
According to the configuration of the present invention, first, even if the material of the work clothes does not have elasticity, it can be fitted to the arm, and the slack from the cuff to the elbow that has not been noticed conventionally is eliminated. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, it is suppressed that the lower side of the part from a cuff to an elbow unintentionally rubs against the food on a work table. Moreover, since the string-like member has elasticity, even if the sleeve has a small diameter, it does not hinder the attachment / detachment.
[0015]
In addition, a particularly important configuration is a configuration in which the string-like member is partially provided rather than the entire circumference of the arm and is installed in a range that does not pass at least the lower side of the sleeve (hereinafter, this configuration is referred to as “upper arrangement of the string-like member ].
An important point of the [upper installation structure of the string-like member] is that the entire length of the string-like member is partial with respect to the entire circumference of the sleeve. As a result, the string-like member not only pulls the sleeve of the installation location in the circumferential direction to reduce the diameter, but also, as indicated by the arrow in FIG. As a result, the underside of the sleeve is free from sagging over a wide area and has no irregularities that are exactly along the arm line.
[0016]
That is, the [upper installation configuration of the string-like member] has a configuration as shown in FIG. 2B (a configuration in which a rubber band surrounding the entire circumference is fitted to the portion in order to prevent the sleeve from hanging down). On the other hand, not only the configuration itself is different, but also the effects are fundamentally different.
For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, when an annular string-like member 30 is provided over the entire circumference of the sleeve, the tension indicated by the upper part of the string-like member 30 is canceled by the tension of the lower part, The installation location is only locally shrunk over the entire circumference, and both sides P and Q sandwiching the string-like member 30 are loosened (swelling), making it easier to touch food on the table, and the present invention This goal is not achieved.
[0017]
In addition, since the string-like member does not extend over the entire circumference of the sleeve, there is no step due to shrinkage in the portion where the string-like member on the lower side of the sleeve is broken, and that portion becomes a passage. There is also an advantage that it is easy to pass.
[0018]
In [Upper Installation Structure of String-shaped Member], the range in which the string-shaped member does not pass through at least the lower side of the sleeve is a range avoiding the lower side of the sleeve that should be exactly along the arm line as described above. This is determined by the total length of the string-like member (= how much of the entire circumference of the sleeve is occupied) and the installation in the circumferential direction (= degree of deviation in the circumferential direction). If the string-like member is too long, it will approach an annular form as shown in FIG. 2B, and the action of pulling over a wide range indicated by an arrow in FIG. Even if the string-like member is shortened, the lower side of the sleeve does not become flat if the circumferential installation is biased and one end of the string-like member approaches the lowest point of the sleeve. On the other hand, if the string-like member is too short, the expansion / contraction stroke cannot be sufficiently obtained, the amount of pulling the lower side of the sleeve is reduced, and the elongation at the time of wearing is small, so that the attachment / detachment becomes difficult.
[0019]
Therefore, the length of the string-like member in the circumferential direction occupies about 3% to 50% of the entire circumference of the sleeve when the string-like member is extended to expand the sleeve at the installation location to the maximum aperture. The length is preferable, more preferably about 10% to 50%. Furthermore, in terms of securing a sufficient amount of expansion / contraction stroke amount and a wide range of pulling action indicated by arrows in FIG. Most preferably, it is about 35%.
When the sleeve is expanded to the maximum aperture, the string member need not reach the limit of elongation.
In a preferred embodiment, the midpoint of the overall length of the string-like member determined as described above is matched with the uppermost point of the sleeve. Thereby, the string-like member becomes a particularly preferable aspect among the aspects in which it does not pass through the lower side of the sleeve, and sufficiently exhibits the effect of pulling in a wide range indicated by an arrow in FIG.
[0020]
In the present invention, [the total circumference of the sleeve] refers to the circumference of an annular cross section that appears when a sleeve of a normal work clothes sewn with a normal clearance is cut perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction. It is. Although this circumference varies depending on the size stage such as S size to L size and the sewing design, it is about 25 cm to 30 cm except for special sizes and designs.
[0021]
The string-like member is contracted to a natural length in a natural state, whereby the sleeve at the installation location is reduced in diameter, but the diameter (or circumferential length) of the reduced diameter sleeve eliminates sagging. In order to exert an effect, it should be smaller than the outer diameter (or arm circumference length) of the wearer's arm.
Although the wearer's arm circumference length varies depending on gender and physique, it is generally about 15 cm to 25 cm. It is preferable that the circumference of the sleeve having a reduced diameter is made smaller by about 0.5 cm to 1 cm than the length of the wearer's arm.
[0022]
Although the installation location of a string-like member should just be one or more places. In view of the range in which one string-like member is pulled and the length of the sleeve, there are two to three locations between the cuffs and the elbows, and in particular, two modes are arranged with an interval of about 2 cm to 10 cm. This is an effective mode with a small number of installations.
[0023]
The string-like member may be a string formed so that it can elastically expand and contract, and may be a single wire made of rubber or a braided rubber like a rubber string. The cross-sectional shape of the string-like member may be circular or flat, but a rubber string that is flat-knitted into a belt-like shape is preferable in that it can easily be attached to the sleeve of the work clothes without unevenness. When using a rubber cord that is flat-knitted into a belt shape, the width of the belt is preferably about 1.5 cm to 3.0 cm. A specific material suitable for the string member is a soft operon.
[0024]
The method for attaching the string-like member to the sleeve is not limited, and any method such as sewing or adhesion may be used. In addition, the string-like member may be provided on either the inside or the outside of the sleeve, and piping may be formed and only both ends may be attached through the inside, but the entire length of the string-like member is sewn inside the sleeve. The mode of attaching is preferable. Such an embodiment is functional and beautifully finished because the pattern of the work clothes is not covered by the string-like member and the sleeves shrink evenly.
[0025]
The cuffs of the work clothes according to the present invention are preferably provided with a stretchable portion 5 (FIG. 1) that elastically fits to the wrist, like the conventional work clothes, in order to prevent the table surface from coming into contact with food.
[0026]
The main body of the work clothes may have any design, and may be a tether that is integrated with the pants. Moreover, there is no limitation in the raw material of a main body, You may use a conventionally well-known thing.
[0027]
The work clothes of the present invention are particularly useful in factories that manufacture foods, pharmaceuticals, instruments that should be sanitary, etc., and all production processes in which the sleeves of the work clothes do not like contact with the product Can be useful work clothes.
[0028]
【The invention's effect】
In the work clothes of the present invention, as described above, an elastically stretchable string-like member is attached to the upper side of the sleeve, so that the lower side of the sleeve is pulled up over a wide range, unlike the case of simply wearing a rubber band. As a result, sagging and unevenness are eliminated, and the sleeves are sufficiently prevented from touching the product on the work table.
