Description

The present invention relates to fan-equipped clothing (also referred to as EF wear) that blows outside air into the clothing and has the effect of suppressing temperature rises within the clothing, sweating of the wearer, and body temperature rises, and a method for manufacturing the same.

Clothes with fans require the resin casing of the fan to be stably fixed to the stretchable garment fabric. To this end, a fan-sized opening is formed in clothing fabric or a pedestal sheet, and a reinforcing material that is less stretchable and stronger than the fabric is attached to the periphery of the opening. Clothing fabric is then sandwiched between the fan attachment (such as a rotating ring) and the casing and fixed.

A common method for attaching the reinforcing material to the clothing fabric is by sewing, in which openings are formed so as to cover both sides of the ring-shaped reinforcing material, and the reinforcing material and the clothing fabric are sewn together (e.g. , see Patent Documents 1 and 2). Furthermore, a method of attaching a reinforcing material to a clothing fabric by thermal fusion using an adhesive sheet or the like (see Patent Document 3), or an adhesion method using a hook-and-loop fastener is also known (see Patent Document 4).

Fan-mounted clothing has diversified variations in materials, shapes, etc., depending on the functionality and design preferences of users, and it is necessary to appropriately configure the fan-mounted part accordingly.

Therefore, there is a need to be able to attach fans to clothing fabrics while maintaining sufficient durability and strength using a method different from the reinforcing material covering, heat fusion, etc. used in conventional fan-equipped clothing.

A garment to which a fan can be attached, which is one aspect of the present invention, includes a garment fabric provided with a fan attachment hole;
and a reinforcing member having an opening corresponding to the size of the mounting hole. The reinforcing material can be made of a material that is more durable and stronger than clothing fabric, for example. In the present invention, a print is formed around the attachment hole, and the reinforcing material is secured to the garment fabric at or around the area where the print is formed. By attaching a fan to such clothing, it is possible to provide clothing with a fan. The structure of the fan mounting part based on printed matter and reinforcing material can improve both design and functionality.

The "printed matter" herein may be one formed by various printing methods, and includes one formed as a pattern on clothing fabric by transfer of ink or the like without heat (non-thermal transfer). For example, it is possible to form the printed matter by screen printing. Regarding the fixing of the reinforcement, it is possible to attach it to the garment fabric by various methods. When the printed matter is formed on the front side of the clothing fabric, the reinforcing material is placed at or around the printed matter forming area on the front side of the clothing fabric, or at a location corresponding to the printing forming area from the back side of the clothing fabric (hereinafter referred to as an aspect corresponding to the printed matter forming area). (shall be included in). Further, the reinforcing material can be fixed on the front side of the garment fabric so as to be placed around the print formation area or in a gap.

Regarding the fixing of the reinforcing material, it is possible to fix it integrally so that it cannot be removed by a user or the like, or it is also possible to fix it so that it can be removed. Additionally, the reinforcing material can be fixed to the garment fabric using a fixing device. For example, the reinforcing material can be fixed to the clothing fabric by using metal fittings such as caulks, rivets, and eyelets.

Another aspect of the present invention, which is a method for manufacturing clothing to which a fan can be attached or a fan attachment part, includes the steps of screen printing a printing target area on clothing fabric, and surrounding it with printed matter formed on the clothing fabric. forming a fan mounting hole in the clothing fabric. It is also possible to further include the step of attaching a reinforcing material having an opening corresponding to the size of the attachment hole to the clothing fabric at or around the print formation location.

According to the present invention, in clothing with a fan, the fan can be attached to clothing fabric with sufficient durability and strength.

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a part of a fan mounting portion according to a third embodiment.

The fan-equipped garment of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a fan-equipped garment according to a first embodiment. The fan-equipped garment 100 is a vest-type garment worn on the upper body, and is made of stretchable fabric 10 such as cotton or chemical fiber. On the back side of the garment 100, fan mounting portions 100A and 100B are provided in which mounting holes 10A and 10B for mounting two fans are formed.

Two clothing fans (not shown here) are attached to the fan attachment parts 100A and 100B. A fan for clothing is composed of a flanged casing that accommodates a propeller and an attachment member such as a ring.The casing is passed from the front side of the fabric through mounting holes 10A and 10B, and the fan body is placed on the back side of the fan-equipped clothing 100. Attach the attachment member from the back side of the attachment holes 10A and 10B of the fan-equipped garment 100. The clothing fan is attached to the fabric 10 by sandwiching the fabric 10 between the flange of the casing on the front side of the fan-equipped garment 100 and the attachment member.

FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view of the fan mounting portion 100A viewed from the front side. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a part of the fan attachment portion 100A (near the attachment of the metal fittings). FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the reinforcing material. The configuration of the fan mounting portion 100A will be explained using FIGS. 2 to 4. Note that the fan mounting portion 100B is also configured in the same manner.

The mounting hole 10A formed in the fabric 10 is formed in a substantially circular shape to match the shape of the fan, and its size also corresponds to the fan casing size. Around the attachment hole 10A, a pattern (hereinafter referred to as printed matter) 20 transferred by screen printing, which will be described later, is formed on the outer material 10F of the fabric 10.

The printed matter 20 is formed in an annular shape here, and the size of the inner circumferential circle 20U (inner diameter size) is substantially equal to the attachment hole 10A of the fabric 10, and has a radial width B up to the outer circumferential circle 20V. The printed matter 20 only needs to be more durable and elastic than the fabric 10, and here includes a rubber resin.

On the other hand, a reinforcing material 40 is applied to the back side (lining) 10B of the fabric 10 (see FIG. 3). The reinforcing member 40 is formed in an annular shape according to the shape of the printed matter 20 (see FIG. 4), and the inner diameter thereof is substantially equal to that of the attachment hole 10A. The reinforcing material 40 is made of a material that is elastic and less stretchable than the fabric 10, but has strength and durability. For example, the reinforcing material 40 is made of synthetic resin such as silicone resin.

The surface 40F of the reinforcing material 40 on the cloth 10 side is in contact with the lining 10B of the cloth 10 in alignment with the position of the printed matter 20, and is fixed to the cloth 10 by a plurality of metal fittings 31 to 35. Specifically, metal fittings 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35 arranged at predetermined intervals (equally spaced here) along the circumferential direction of the printed material 20 (reinforcing material 40) are connected to the reinforcing material 40 and the printed material. The fabric 10 and the reinforcing material 40 are sandwiched between the fabric 10 and the reinforcing material 40.

The metal fittings 31 to 35 are here constituted by caulking consisting of a head (female) 31A and legs (male) 31B as a pair of parts. The head 31B is located on the front side (outer material) 10F of the fabric 10, the legs 31B are located on the lining 10B side, and the metal fittings 31 are attached by pressing so as to sandwich the fabric 10 and the reinforcing material 40. In addition, the contact areas between the metal fittings 31 to 35 (legs 31B to 35B) and the fan attachment member, and the contact areas between the metal fittings 31 to 35 (heads 31A to 35A) and the flange of the fan casing are made as smooth as possible. The surfaces of the metal fittings 31 to 35 can be made smooth and the thickness can be suppressed.

In this embodiment, instead of using methods such as stitching, heat sealing, hook-and-loop fasteners, and piping that are used in conventional fan-equipped clothing, we use a forming point on the back side of the fabric of the printed material 20 (hereinafter also referred to as the printed material forming point). By attaching the reinforcing material 40 to the mounting hole 10A, a structure is created in which the reinforcing material 40 and the printed matter 20 face each other with the fabric 10 in between, thereby improving the durability and strength near the periphery of the attachment hole 10A. By using a printing method that is seamless and does not use heat such as heat fusion, it is possible to suppress fraying or breakage of the fabric 10 from occurring near the periphery of the mounting hole 10A, and to prevent the fan from being attached or removed during the process of repeatedly attaching and detaching the fan. To prevent portion 100A from deteriorating as a fabric.

Moreover, by fixing the reinforcing material 40 and the fabric 10 so as to sandwich them between them, the reinforcing material 40 can be reliably fixed to the fabric 10. Therefore, durability around the mounting hole 10A can be further improved. In particular, the contact of the metal fittings 31 with the casing flange and ring of the fan can prevent frictional deterioration of the printed matter 20.

Note that the reinforcing material 40 may have a shape other than an annular shape, and may have a rectangular outer peripheral edge. The printed matter 20 is also not limited to an annular shape, but may have a rectangular outer periphery. Further, when the shape of the mounting hole is determined according to the shape of the casing of the fan, the shape of the reinforcing material 40 and the inner circumferential circle of the printed material 20 may also be made to correspond to the shape of the mounting hole. The size and shape (including the radial width) of the reinforcing material 40 may also be different from those of the printed material 20.

Regarding the metal fittings 31, rivets such as hollow rivets may be used instead of caulking, and the reinforcing material 40 may be fixed by pressing. Furthermore, the reinforcing material 40 may be fixed to the fabric 10 by using a fixing tool made of a material other than metal. Even in this case, parts that sandwich the reinforcing material 40 and the fabric 10 can be used.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the manufacturing process regarding the fan attachment portion of the fan-equipped garment 100. Here, a manufacturing process will be described after manufacturing a garment main body in which the fan attachment portions 100A and 100B are not formed by a conventionally known manufacturing method.

First, screen printing is performed depending on the area where the fan attachment parts 100A and 100B are to be formed (see (A) in FIG. 5). Screen printing is performed using a printing device 150 in which a screen 152 made of a film of chemical fiber or the like is fixed with a frame 154. A plate is previously formed on the screen 152, using a photograph or the like to cover the screen holes (holes) other than the printed pattern (here, the annular pattern).

In the printing device 150, after the entire screen 152 is filled with ink B, the squeegee 156 is placed on the screen 152 and moved while pressing (rubbing) the screen 152. As a result, the ink B is extruded onto the garment body 100', and a printed pattern 20' is formed. Ink B containing pigments and dyes contains rubber resin here.

The printed pattern 20' formed on the fabric 10 is an annular pattern corresponding to the shape of the printed material 20, but its radial width is larger than the radial width B of the printed material 20 shown in FIG. Furthermore, marking patterns (hole patterns) R1 to R5 are formed to indicate the mounting positions of the metal fittings 31.

After the annular printing pattern 20' is formed on the garment body 100', a portion of the garment body 100' is hollowed out according to the size of the attachment hole 10A. Here, by laser irradiation or die cutting, a part of the fabric is cut out in a circular shape along the line R of the printed pattern 20' to form the attachment hole 10A. (See (B) in FIG. 5). At this time, since laser irradiation or the like is applied to the portion of the fabric 10 where the printed matter 20 is formed, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of fraying of the threads. Note that when the printed pattern 20' is formed in a rectangular shape, a part of the fabric including the printed portion may be hollowed out in a circular shape.

After forming the attachment holes 10A and 10B, the reinforcing member 40 is fixed to the fabric 10 using metal fittings 31 to 35 made of caulking (see (C) of FIG. 5). At this time, the metal fittings 31 to 35 are pressed in accordance with the positions of the marking patterns R1 to R5. After fixing the reinforcing material 40, insert the fan casing (fan main body) 210 into the mounting hole 10A from the front side of the fabric 10, and insert the ring 220, which will become the attachment member of the fan, from the back side of the fabric 10 to the fan casing 210 (screw The fan is attached to clothing by attaching the fan to the clothing (see (D) in FIG. 5).

Screen printing has a high degree of freedom in designing the printed matter 20, and it is possible to form various printing patterns. For example, it is also possible to form a print pattern that includes a company name, product name, etc. Further, additional printed matter can be formed in the same printing process on the outer circumferential side of the annular printed matter 20 corresponding to the flange shape of the fan, for the purpose of improving durability, strength, visibility, etc.

Furthermore, since the marking patterns R1 to R5 described above can be formed during printing, the attachment positions of the metal fittings 131 to 135 can be fixed at accurate locations. The mounting positions of the metal fittings 131 to 135 can also be changed freely by changing the pattern of the squares formed on the screen 152.

Screen printing may be performed either manually or automatically. Furthermore, since the mounting holes 10A and 10B are located at approximately symmetrical positions on the back side of the clothing main body 100', the printing pattern 20' is formed in the process of forming the two fan mounting parts 100A and 100B at once. It is also possible.

The manufacturing process described above includes the fan installation process, but can also be applied to the process of manufacturing clothing before the fan is installed. It is also possible to manufacture clothing with a fan by manufacturing the fabric for only the fan attachment part as a pedestal sheet and attaching it to existing clothing.

In the screen printing process, it is also possible to perform printing multiple times to form a printed pattern overlapping the same location. Further, screen printing may be performed multiple times by changing the color or type of ink. It is also possible to use different screens selectively.

Next, referring to FIG. 6, a fan-equipped garment according to a second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, the reinforcing material is removably fixed to the fabric.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the configuration of a fan mounting portion 100A in the second embodiment. Fan mounting portion 100B is also configured similarly to fan mounting portion 100A.

Similar to the first embodiment, an annular printed matter 120 is formed on the outer material 10F of the fabric 10. Further, around the printed matter 120, printed matter 120' arranged discretely in an arc shape is formed concentrically with the annular printed matter 120. For example, it is possible to form a print 120' that has reflective properties for light. Note that the printed matter 120' can also be formed for the first embodiment. The metal fittings 131 to 135 are here constituted by heads of rivets, and are press-fixed to the cloth 10 at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction of the printed matter 120.

The annular reinforcing material 140 is not integrally fixed to the fabric 10 as in the first embodiment, but can be detachably attached to metal fittings 131 to 135 attached to the area of the printed matter 120. . Specifically, concave portions 141 to 145 are formed in one surface 140B of the reinforcing material 140 in accordance with the convex portions of the metal fittings 131 to 135, and the reinforcing material 140 is configured to fit into the metal fittings 131 to 135. . Note that the reinforcing member 140 may be detachably attached by a configuration other than fitting, such as engagement, gripping, or clamping.

In the second embodiment, after the reinforcing material 140 is attached, the fan casing 210 is passed through the attachment hole 10A from the outer material 10F of the fabric 10, and the fan ring 220 is attached to the back side of the fabric 10. Thereby, the fan is attached to clothing 100.

The reinforcing material 140 is in contact with the flange of the fan casing 210 over the entire circumferential direction, and the metal fittings 131 to 135 are not in direct contact with the fan casing 210. Therefore, the fan can be mounted with the reinforcing material 140 and the fabric 10 tightly sandwiched between them. Further, the reinforcing member 140 is removable by the user and has functionality like a washer. This allows a variety of reinforcing materials with different materials, strengths, and durability to be prepared and used selectively.

In the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, clothing with a fan or a fan mounting part can be manufactured through the steps of screen printing on the front side of the fabric, forming mounting holes, attaching metal fittings, and installing the fan. can. Note that the printed matter 120 may be formed on the back side of the fabric 10, and the reinforcing material 140 may be removably fitted from the back side of the fabric to a metal fitting attached to the area where the printed material 120 is formed. In this case, the ring of the fan contacts the reinforcement 140. Note that the reinforcing material 140 can also be used as an attachment member such as a fan ring. That is, an attachment member such as a fan ring can be configured to have the same material and performance as the reinforcing member 140.

Next, a third embodiment of clothing with a fan will be described using FIGS. 7 and 8. In a third embodiment, the reinforcing material is fixed around the print on the front side of the fabric.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the configuration of a fan mounting portion according to the third embodiment. FIG. 8 is a sectional view schematically showing a part of the fan mounting portion according to the third embodiment. The printed matter 220 is composed of annular patterns 220A and 220B having different diameters, and is formed concentrically (coaxially) on the front side 10F of the fabric. The reinforcing material 240 is formed into an annular shape with a size that fits in the gap between the annular patterns 220A and 220B. Note that the annular pattern 220B may be formed as in the second embodiment.

The overall width B1 of the annular patterns 220A and 220B of the printed matter 220 is determined according to the flange width of the fan casing. Therefore, the annular patterns 220A and 220B contact the inside and outside of the flange, respectively, and the reinforcing material 240 mainly contacts the central portion of the flange. By attaching the reinforcing material 240 between the annular patterns 220A and 220B, the degree of freedom in design is increased, and by placing the reinforcing material 240 and the printed matter 220 on the same fabric surface, the size of the reinforcing material 240 can be adjusted to the attachment member size ( radial width, etc.) while maintaining functionality such as durability and strength. Moreover, since there are no attachment elements, processed parts, etc. on the lining 10B side of the fabric 10, and only the attachment elements are provided on the outer fabric 10F, durability deterioration on the back side of the garment 10 can be suppressed.

The thickness D and radial width L of the reinforcing material 240 may be determined according to the radial width, distance M, thickness N, etc. of the annular patterns 220A and 220B of the printed matter 220. The printed material 220 may be configured with three or more annular patterns, with a reinforcing material 240 interposed between them, and the annular reinforcing material may partially overlap the printed material. Further, it is also possible to attach a reinforcing material around the printed matter of one annular pattern having a width B1 as in the first embodiment, and furthermore, it is possible to attach the reinforcing material 240 on the annular pattern having a width B1. May be attached. Note that as a method for attaching the reinforcing material 240, fixing tools such as the metal fittings shown in the first and second embodiments may be used, or methods such as suturing or heat fusion may be used. .

The thickness, shape, elasticity, stretchability, etc. of the reinforcing material may be appropriately determined in consideration of the size, shape, weight, etc. of the fan, and depending on the properties of the material including the stretchability of the fabric 10. For example, it is possible to use a resin other than silicone resin, such as polyethylene. In addition, the materials and types of the ink and reinforcing material that form the printed matter 20 are not limited to rubber resin, but may be selected from viscoelastic materials or pigments that improve durability and strength depending on the durability of the reinforcing material. etc. may be selected as appropriate.

In particular, by adjusting the components of ink B in printed matter, it is also possible to create a configuration in which the metal fittings 131 to 135 and the reinforcing material 40 are not used. In other words, through the process of screen printing to form a thick printed matter and the process of forming the mounting holes, the fan is securely attached to the fabric without any deterioration in durability such as fraying of the threads at the fan mounting part. It is possible to provide clothing with Printing methods other than screen printing (such as other stencil printing) may also be used. It is also possible to form the printed matter on the back side of the fabric.

Conversely, it is also possible to stably attach the fan to the fabric by attaching and fixing the reinforcing material to the fabric using fixing tools such as metal fittings without performing screen printing. That is, a clothing fan is provided with a clothing fabric having mounting holes for the fan, a reinforcing member having an opening corresponding to the size of the mounting hole, and the reinforcing member is fixed around the mounting hole of the clothing fabric using a fixing tool. Wearable clothing or a clothing fan can be provided. Further, the fan includes a step of forming a fan mounting hole in clothing fabric, and a step of attaching a reinforcing member having an opening corresponding to the size of the mounting hole around the mounting hole of the clothing fabric by using a fixing tool. A method of manufacturing a wearable garment or fan attachment part can be provided.
