Description

The present invention relates to clothing worn on the upper body of a wearer.

Traditionally, in specific workplaces such as semiconductor manufacturing lines, workers are required to wear so-called anti-static work clothes that have a specified amount of charge and electrical resistance in order to remove static electricity that builds up on their bodies and work clothes. Clothes made of conductive fabric are known (for example, see Patent Document 1). On the other hand, there is also known clothing in which sleeves are detachable from the body so that the sleeves can be removed as needed (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the garment 1 of Example 1 is a jacket (jumper) that the wearer wears on the upper body, and includes a body 10 that covers the upper body, and a left sleeve part 20 that is detachable from the body 10. , and a right sleeve portion 30 that is detachable from the body 10.

The body 10 is formed by sewing conductive fabric cut into an arbitrary shape. Here, the "conductive fabric" is a fabric that has conductivity (a property that easily causes electrical conduction) by weaving conductive fibers into the fabric. In addition, "conductive fibers" refers to synthetic fibers in which highly conductive metals or graphite are uniformly dispersed, organic fibers whose surfaces are coated with metal, or organic fibers coated with resins containing conductive substances. It is a fiber whose surface is coated to make it conductive. Furthermore, the conductive fibers include metal fibers made of metal such as stainless steel, and fibers in which fine particles of conductive substances such as metal, carbon, and conductive ceramics are blended into the core of the core-sheath fiber. Good too. These conductive fibers can dissipate electrical charges by moving electrons through the conductive material, creating tiny electrical discharges from large surfaces of the fabric into the air.

The body 10 of Example 1 has a vest shape in which a front part 11 that covers the front side of the wearer's torso (chest and abdomen) is divided into left and right parts from the center in the body width direction, and the front part 11 includes: A slide fastener (not shown) is provided. Further, the placket 11a is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener 12, and the placket 11a can be fixed to the body fabric via the hook-and-loop fastener 12.

The first conductive member 16A and the second conductive member 17A are female-side snap buttons formed of conductive metal such as brass, and have recesses 16a and 17a (first engaging portion, second engaging portion), respectively. ) (see Figure 3). Furthermore, the first and second slide fasteners 14 and 15 are separable, so-called open-type slide fasteners, and here they are plastic fasteners that are insulators.

Further, the circumference of the body 10 is hemmed with a piping fabric 18, and the conductive fabrics are sewn together at arbitrary positions with the piping fabric 18 sandwiched therebetween. The piping fabric 18 is made of a long, thin cloth material that does not have conductivity and is different from the conductive fabric, and the design of the body 10 is improved by exposing the ring portion folded in half to the surface of the fabric. improve. The ring portion exposed on the surface of the piping fabric 18 becomes the beaded edge portion 18a (see FIG. 4).

Further, in the body 10, conductive fabrics 19 are sandwiched at appropriate positions (ten locations in Example 1) in the portion where the conductive fabrics are sewn together (see FIGS. 1 and 2). The conductive cloth 19 is constituted by an elongated piece of cloth having a predetermined length (for example, 5 cm or 10 cm) and having conductivity, which is different from the conductive cloth. The conductive fabric 19 is sandwiched between the seam allowances 10a of the pair of conductive fabrics to be sewn together, and is fixed to the seam allowances 10a by lock stitching.

Here, overlock stitches 10b are applied to the edges of the seam allowance 10a to prevent fraying. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the conductive fabric 19 is arranged at a position that does not overlap the area where the overlock stitch 10b has been applied (hereinafter referred to as the "overseam area 10c"). Furthermore, when the conductive fabric 19 is sandwiched between the piping fabric 18 and the part where the pair of conductive fabrics are sewn together, the conductive fabric 19 is inserted between the piping fabric 18 and the oversewing area, as shown in FIG. It is sandwiched between a pair of conductive fabrics at a position that does not overlap with 10c.

(See Figures 4 and 6). In addition, in the part where the pair of conductive fabrics are sewn together without sandwiching the piping fabric 18, the conductive fabric 19 is placed between the seam 10d where the pair of conductive fabrics are sewn together and the overlock stitch area 10c, and the conductive fabric 19 is placed between the stitch area 10c and the lockstitch area 10c. It is fixed to the seam allowance 10a (see FIGS. 5 and 7).

This left sleeve portion 20 has a mounting portion 21 at one end and a left cuff 22 at the other end. As shown in FIG. 3, the other fastener stringer 14b of the first slide fastener 14 is attached to the periphery of the attachment portion 21. As shown in FIG. Further, a left conductive member 16B is provided on the circumferential surface of the attachment portion 21.

The other fastener stringer 14b can be connected to one fastener stringer 14a provided in the left armhole 13A. Then, the left sleeve portion 20 is attached to the body 10 by connecting the pair of fastener stringers 14a and 14b of the first slide fastener 14.

Further, the left conductive member 16B is a male side snap button formed of conductive metal such as brass, and has a convex portion 16b (first cover) that fits (engages) in the recess 16a of the first conductive member 16A. (an engaging part). This left conductive member 16B is fixed to the conductive fabric of the left sleeve portion 20, and is arranged at a position where it comes into contact with the first conductive member 16A when the left sleeve portion 20 is attached to the body 10.

A cuff 23 bordered by a piping fabric 18 is attached to the left cuff 22 of the left sleeve portion 20. Further, a conductive fabric 19 is sandwiched between the left cuff 22 and the cuff 23 (see FIG. 1).

Further, the right conductive member 17B is a male side snap button formed of conductive metal such as brass, and has a convex portion 17b (second cover) that fits (engages) in a recess 17a of the second conductive member 17A. (an engaging part). This right conductive member 17B is fixed to the conductive fabric of the right sleeve portion 30, and is arranged at a position where it comes into contact with the second conductive member 17A when the right sleeve portion 30 is attached to the body 10.

A cuff 33 bordered by the piping fabric 18 is attached to the right cuff 32 of the right sleeve portion 30. Further, a conductive fabric 19 is sandwiched between the right cuff 32 and the cuff 33 (see FIG. 1).

Hereinafter, the function of the garment 1 of Example 1 will be explained.

The garment 1 of Example 1 includes a body 10 that covers the wearer's upper body, a left sleeve 20 that is detachable from the body 10, and a right sleeve 30 that is detachable from the body 10. Therefore, when the left sleeve part 20 and the right sleeve part 30 are removed from the body 10, the garment 1 can be worn as a vest-type jacket without sleeves.

Further, the body 10 is formed by sewing conductive fabrics cut into an arbitrary shape, and conductive fabrics 19 are sandwiched at appropriate positions where the conductive fabrics are sewn together. Therefore, electricity can be applied to the sewn pair of conductive fabrics through the conductive fabric 19, and the amount of electrical charge and electrical resistance of the body 10 can be suppressed. As a result, it becomes possible to keep the amount of electrical charge and electrical resistance of the body 10 within preset limits.

Furthermore, in the portion where the pair of conductive fabrics are sewn together with the piping fabric 18 in between, the conductive fabric 19 is arranged between the piping fabric 18 and the overlocking region 10c. Then, it is fixed to the seam allowance 10a by lock stitching. Therefore, the piping fabric 18 and the conductive fabric 19 do not overlap. Thereby, the electrical conduction between the pair of electrically conductive fabrics via the electrically conductive fabric 19 is not inhibited by the piping fabric 18 and can be appropriately conducted.

The garment 1 of Example 1 can be worn as a long-sleeved jacket by attaching the left sleeve portion 20 and the right sleeve portion 30 to the body 10.

Here, the body 10 is provided with a first conductive member 16A and a second conductive member 17A having conductivity. On the other hand, the left sleeve portion 20 is provided with a left conductive member 16B having conductivity that comes into contact with the first conductive member 16A when the left sleeve portion 20 is attached to the body 10. Further, the right sleeve portion 30 is provided with a right conductive member 17B having conductivity that comes into contact with the second conductive member 17A when the right sleeve portion 30 is attached to the 10th body.

Therefore, by attaching the left sleeve portion 20 to the body 10, the left conductive member 16B contacts the first conductive member 16A, and the body 10 and the left sleeve portion 20 are energized. Further, by attaching the right sleeve portion 30 to the body 10, the right conductive member 17B comes into contact with the second conductive member 17A, and the body 10 and the right sleeve portion 30 are energized. As a result, when the left and right sleeve parts 20, 30 are attached to the body 10, the left and right sleeve parts 20, 30 and the body 10 can be energized. Furthermore, by supplying current from the left sleeve part 20 to the right sleeve part 30 via the body 10, the amount of electrical charge and electrical resistance of the garment 1 is suppressed, and the amount of electrical charge and electrical resistance are set in advance. This makes it possible to stay within the specified regulations.

Further, in Example 1, the first conductive member 16A has the recess 16a, and the second conductive member 17A has the recess 17a. The left conductive member 16B has a convex portion 16b that fits into the concave portion 16a, and the right conductive member 17B has a convex portion 17b that fits in the concave portion 17a.

Thereby, when the left conductive member 16B contacts the first conductive member 16A, the convex portion 16b fits into the recess 16a, and the first conductive member 16A and the left conductive member 16B are connected. Therefore, the first conductive member 16A and the left conductive member 16B are difficult to separate, and even if the garment 1 moves while being worn, it is possible to prevent the electrical connection between the body 10 and the left sleeve portion 20 from being disconnected.

Further, when the right conductive member 17B contacts the second conductive member 17A, the convex portion 17b fits into the concave portion 17a, and the second conductive member 17A and the right conductive member 17B are connected. Therefore, the second conductive member 17A and the right conductive member 17B are difficult to separate from each other, and even if the garment 1 moves while being worn, the current between the body 10 and the right sleeve portion 30 can be prevented from being disconnected.

Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the first conductive member 16A and the left conductive member 16B, and the second conductive member 17A and the right conductive member 17B are each formed of snap buttons that can be engaged with and detached from each other. Therefore, for example, the first conductive member 16A, the left conductive member 16B, etc. can be easily engaged and disengaged compared to a case where the first conductive member 16A and the left conductive member 16B are configured with a key hook or a spring hook in which one hooks and engages the other. Further, for example, compared to a case where the first conductive member 16A, the left conductive member 16B, etc. are configured with magnetic hooks that engage with each other by magnetic force, the convex portion 16b fits into the concave portion 16a, so that they are less likely to come off. Moreover, the cost can be reduced compared to the case where the first conductive member 16A, the left conductive member 16B, etc. are constructed from conductive slide fasteners.

Although the garment 1 of the present invention has been described above based on Example 1, the specific structure is not limited to this example, and the gist of the invention according to each claim is described below. Changes and additions to the design are permitted as long as they do not deviate.

In the first embodiment, an example is shown in which the first conductive member 16A and the left conductive member 16B, and the second conductive member 17A and the right conductive member 17B are each formed by snap buttons that can be engaged with and detached from each other. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a simple metal piece since it is sufficient to contact each other and conduct electricity. Furthermore, in order to conduct electricity when they come into contact and to prevent the device from coming off easily, the first conductive member 16A, the left conductive member 16B, and the second A conductive member 17A and a right conductive member 17B may be formed.

Further, in the first embodiment, an example was shown in which the left and right sleeve portions 20 and 30 are attached to the body 10 via the first and second slide fasteners 14 and 15. However, for example, the left sleeve portion 20 may be attached to the body 10 by engaging the left conductive member 16B with the first conductive member 16A, or the right conductive member 17B may be engaged with the second conductive member 17A. In this way, the right sleeve portion 30 may be attached to the body 10. That is, the first conductive member 16A and the left conductive member 16B, and the second conductive member 17A and the right conductive member 17B may be used as connectors for attaching the left and right sleeve portions 20 and 30 to the body 10.

Further, in Example 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an example is shown in which the conductive fabric 19 is provided, for example, in the left and right armholes 13A, 13B, the left and right cuffs 22, 32, the sides of the body 10, etc. However, it is not limited to this. Since the conductive fabric 19 can be provided at any position, for example, it may be provided along the neckline, at the hem, or on the placket 11a.

Further, in the first embodiment, an example was shown in which the body 10 becomes a sleeveless vest type when the left and right sleeve portions 20 and 30 are removed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the body 10 may have short sleeves, and the left and right sleeve portions 20 and 30 may be detachably attached to the cuffs of the body 10.
