Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention particularly relates to a jacket-like or coat-like garment composed of a plurality of parts, and a main garment and an outer garment which can be detached from the main garment and can be worn above or below the main garment. Alternatively, the present invention relates to a slide fastener that is connected to an auxiliary garment that is underwear.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a garment which can be detachably connected to an upper garment or a lower garment by a slide fastener, conventionally, one independent slide fastener is used on each side of the front center of the garment. Came. The slide fastener extends from the leg lower garment edge, or, in the same sense here, from the slide fastener lower end toward the garment lower edge to the slide fastener upper end in the clavicle or neck region. These two independent slide fasteners can be used to secure or remove underwear or overgarments from clothing. When the lower garment or the upper garment is fixed to the garment, the collar area of the garment and the upper garment or the lower garment remain unconnected by the slide fastener. In this neck area, clothes and underwear or outerwear are not connected at all, and the outer parts of clothes and upper or underwear are hung in the neck area, or press fasteners, buckles, etc. are placed in the neck area. Auxiliary fixing means are provided.

As a result, in the neck area, the garment and the top or bottom garment do not fit each other between the garment and the top or bottom garment. Moreover, when this garment is used as workwear for civil engineering workers and firefighters, workers who wear such garments will find that the two garment parts are not or not fully connected to each other in the neck area. There is no danger of catching on an overhanging object, especially when trying to pass under an obstacle.

Usually, the garment is fitted with a front fastener, for example in the form of a slide fastener, which allows the garment to be opened or closed at the user's option.
Thus, the garment can be opened and closed by the front fastener regardless of whether the top or bottom garment is connected to the garment. The upper or lower clothes removed from the clothes can be worn alone, that is, independent of the clothes. However, in this case, the upper garment or the lower garment cannot be closed. For this, the top or bottom garment would have to be fitted with a separate front zipper. This front zipper means on the one hand an additional cost and on the other hand can interfere with the front zipper of the garment and / or the slide zipper connecting with the top or bottom garment.

The subject of the present invention is that it can be used in a wider variety of ways than the conventional slide fasteners, and is particularly suitable as a device for connecting upper clothes or lower clothes to clothes, and by using it, a slide which can overcome the above problems. It is to provide a fastener.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention In order to solve the above problems, a slide fastener of the present invention has two slide fastener halves that can be detachably engaged by a slider. The slide fastener half piece has a first insertion member at one end,
An insert member retainer at the other end, having a slider slidably disposed therebetween;
The slide fastener half piece of the present invention is provided with a second insertion member at one end portion and a slider locking portion at the other end portion thereof, and the insertion member of the first slide fastener half piece or the second slide fastener half piece is selected. Can be inserted into the insert member holder.

The slider of the slide fastener can be formed as a reversible slider. In this case, the garment can be used as a reversible garment, optionally worn on either side as the outer side. Regardless of whether the garment is worn in the normal position or the inverted position, the slider is in each case outside and can be operated there. Further, the present invention provides
Jacket-like or coat-like having, for example, a detachable front fastener configured as a slide fastener, a removable auxiliary garment that can be used as an upper garment or a lower garment, and a connection device for releasably fastening the garment. Provide clothes. At this time, this connecting device comprises a slide fastener half piece of the slide fastener of the present invention, and this slide fastener half piece goes up from the lower edge of the garment on one side at the front center of the garment to the neck area of the garment, On the other side of the front center of the garment, it continues to extend down to the lower edge of the garment again.

Further, the present invention provides a main garment, an auxiliary garment which is detachable from the main garment, and which is an upper garment or a lower garment to be worn on or under the main garment, and the auxiliary garment to be detached from the garment. A multi-part jacket-like or coat-like garment having a connecting device that is freely connected. This connecting device is formed by two slide fastener halves of the slide fastener of the present invention, one of which is attached to the garment and the other is attached to the auxiliary garment. This slide fastener is located on one side of the front center of the garment and the auxiliary garment, from the lower edge of the garment on the leg side to the collar area of the garment and the auxiliary garment, and around the neck area to the other side of the front center of the garment and the auxiliary garment. At the bottom of the garment again, it extends continuously.

Since the connecting device between the garment and the auxiliary garment is formed by a continuous slide fastener according to the invention, the slide fastener connection is not interrupted even in the neck area. As a result, the fit is significantly improved and the garment and auxiliary garment have a very good contact, while avoiding the risk of being caught by the overhanging object.

In the slide fastener of the present invention, the insert member holder is arranged at one end, and the slide fastener half piece having the insert member is provided at the other end instead of the slider engaging portion as in the conventional case. As a result, the function of the slide fastener can be performed with only one half of the slide fastener. For this purpose, the insert member arranged on the slide fastener half at one end is inserted into the insert member holder arranged on the slide fastener half at the other end. By doing so, only one of the slide fastener halves provides a U-shaped closed slide fastener. As a result, the auxiliary garment to which this slide fastener half piece is attached is removed from the main garment and can be worn alone,
This slide fastener half can be closed or opened.

Depending on whether the auxiliary garment is worn alone or connected to the main garment, the slide garment is placed at the insert member holder at one end of one slide fastener half and at the other end of the slide fastener half. Inserted member or the inserted member arranged on the other slide fastener half piece is inserted. The slide fastener of the present invention is also suitable for applications other than clothes having a detachable auxiliary clothes. For example, it has been found that the slide fastener of the present invention is also convenient when connecting two sleeping bag parts forming an outer bag and an inner bag. The inner bag can be, for example, a relatively light sleeping bag suitable for use alone when the temperature is relatively high, and the outer sleeping bag can be a warmer sleeping bag, which can be used when the temperature is lower. It covers the inner sleeping bag and is detachably connected to it. At that time, the slide fastener of the present invention extends continuously from one side of the longitudinal centerline of the sleeping bag to the neck area from the foot area, around the collar area and down to the foot area on the other side of the longitudinal centerline of the sleeping bag. be able to.

A more specific structure of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description.
