Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The invention is a back pad for adjusting the shape and appearance of the shoulder area of the body, especially a back pad that is separated from clothing such as clothes or a coat. This invention relates to a back pad that can be detachably attached to clothing or the wearer's body.

(Prior Art) Pads of various thicknesses and shapes are used, particularly in the shoulder portions of clothing, depending on the design and purpose of the clothing, the body shape of the wearer, etc. The technology of pad materials, suturing methods, adhesion methods, etc. has also advanced, and superior products have been proposed.

However, when these conventional pads are washed, they often lose their shape or become misaligned, so that they no longer function as pads.
Therefore, it is not necessary to take the trouble of removing and attaching the pad each time it is washed, or to rely on expensive dry cleaning, or to make special improvements or ingenuity to the pad.

Also, the pads are sewn into the garment, and even expensive pads made of special materials or carefully designed to fit the body shape of the person cannot be used on anything other than the garment; There was a drawback that when the clothes were stored, they were left unused and discarded when the clothes were disposed of.

In order to eliminate this drawback, pads that are separate from clothing and can be removed from clothing have been proposed. However, these conventional pads tend to come off when exercising, and they also have the disadvantage that the wearer's body shape worsens.

For example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 25-5330 proposes a shoulder pad for Western clothing in which two left and right shoulder cores formed by wrapping a frame made of metal wire with a wire mesh are connected with rubber strings. However, since this proposed item is made of metal, it not only significantly impairs the feeling of wearing it, but also causes the wearing position to shift due to active movements and movements, and there is a risk of damage, making it suitable for today's active society. Not suitable for practical use in certain environments.

The body shaper proposed in Publication No. 3-8973 is
Pads are attached to the shoulders of vest-like underwear that gradually decrease in thickness from the inside to the outside, creating a flat shoulder, and since they are attached to the underwear, the various problems mentioned above still occur. It is difficult to wear in the hot and humid summer months of Japan.

Furthermore, Japanese Utility Model Publications No. 12-11928 and No. 27-7063 propose shoulder shaping devices that can be attached and removed from underwear or women's clothing, but these tools are only for shaping shoulders into flattened shoulders. Because it is made of celluloid plate or inelastic metal piece, it does not adapt to changes in body shape.
There are drawbacks such as giving an unnatural and strange appearance when exercising.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) The present invention aims to solve all of the above-mentioned problems that the conventional proposals could not solve at once, and to provide a highly practical back pad. be. In other words, it has the advantage that it can be commonly used for a large number of clothes, that clothes can be cleaned independently, and that it can be used for a long time without causing the pads to lose their shape when washed, unlike traditional clothes with sewn-in shoulder pads. It is a back pad that is safe, does not come off even when the user does strenuous exercise, is able to express the wearer's body shape most beautifully in a modern way, and is comfortable to wear. The purpose is to provide

Since it is not necessary to provide shoulder pads to clothes using the back pads of the present invention, it is extremely advantageous for mass production of ready-made uniforms.

(Means for solving the problem) The back pad of the present invention to achieve the above purpose is separated from the clothing, and both shoulders and the upper back part are continuous and integral. The shoulder-back covering is formed with a thickness that gradually increases from the collar side to the shoulder tip, and is provided with attachment means that can be attached to or detached from either the body or clothing. It is characterized by

(Function) Hereinafter, the structure of the present invention will be explained with reference to the embodiment shown in the drawings, together with its function.

Figures 1 to 3 show a back pad according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. This back pad mainly consists of a shoulder/back cover 1 in which a pair of shoulder parts 4 and an upper back part 5 are continuously formed integrally. The shoulder and back covering 1 includes an upper cloth 2 and a lower cloth 3, which are sewn together. This shoulder-back covering has two shoulder parts 4 that cover the left and right shoulder parts and an upper back part 5 that covers the upper back,
The shoulder part 4 has a padded part 6 centered on the shoulder ridge line. The shoulder portion 4 and the upper back portion 5 are normally formed continuously and integrally.

The pad seam 6 accommodates a pad 6' of an appropriate shape, thickness, and size, with a thickness that gradually increases from the collar side to the shoulder, in accordance with the design of the garment and the body shape. The pad is fixed to the upper cloth 2 and the lower cloth 3. Since the shoulder end of the pad 6' has a thickness 7', the gusset 7 is necessary.

As a mounting means for attaching this shoulder/back covering to the human body, in this embodiment, rubber strings 8 are used to connect the front and rear edges of the shoulder/back covering near both ends, respectively. Tape or the like may be used instead of the rubber string.

Further, means such as a hook and loop fastener 9, a hook, a button, etc. may be used as a mounting means for fixing the shoulder/back covering to clothing instead of the human body. When such a mounting means is used, it is not necessary to provide a mounting means such as the rubber string 8. Figures 11 to 13 show the use of hook and loop fasteners 9 for fixing shoulder and back coverings to clothing to be worn.

It is preferable to provide a core cloth 10 between the upper cloth 2 and the lower cloth 3 (see FIG. 3).

Although pads conventionally used for clothing have a shape as shown in FIG. 4, it is preferable that the pad used in the back pad of the present invention has a neckline of 6'' as shown in FIG. This is because this neckline allows the back pad to fit the human body better.

Figures 6 and 7 show the state in which the back pad is attached, and Figures 8 and 9 show the state in which clothes are worn on top of the back pad.
As shown in the figure.

The material for the upper cloth 2 and the lower cloth 3 is preferably Bemberg, which is suitable for the lining of clothing, but any other material may be used. Alternatively, the upper cloth, the lower cloth, and the pad may be integrally molded from a sponge-like material. In this case, the core cloth may be included in the molding, or the core cloth may be omitted. In any case, these materials should preferably be flexible, as described above, and follow the movements of the body and be comfortable, and metals, hard plastics, etc. are not preferred.

(Effects of the invention) Since the invention is constructed as described above, the idea has been fundamentally changed from the conventional method of using two pads on the left and right sewn to the clothing, and a single back pad can be used. It can be used on both shoulders and can be used separately and independently from clothing, so if you make one that fits a certain person's body shape, you can avoid having to add pads every time you make clothing. It can be used for various types of clothing, and clothing can be manufactured at low cost. That is, in the case of men, one back pad can be used for suits, overcoats, and raincoats, and in the case of women, one back pad can be used for dresses, two-pieces, coats, etc.

Since the back pad of the present invention is separate and independent from the clothes, it has the advantage that the clothes do not lose their shape even when washed. Since conventional shoulder pads cannot be removed from clothing, they often lose their shape during cleaning, but this problem has been solved.

Furthermore, since it is possible to manufacture clothes without shoulder pads, it is advantageous for mass production of ready-made clothes.

Furthermore, since the back pad of the present invention has a continuous and integral shoulder cover, the mounting position of the shoulder area will not shift during intense exercise, and it is made of flexible materials such as cloth or plastic foam. The material easily follows the movements and deformations of the body, blends well with the body, and provides a natural and comfortable wearing feeling.The thickness of the shoulder area gradually increases from the collar side to the tip of the shoulder. It has many advantages, such as being able to easily create a shape and appearance that suit modern clothing sensibilities and persistent trends.
