Description

Cleansing gown with adjustable elbow width

This invention is a dust-free garment, specifically a dust-free garment with adjustable elbow width that prevents the sleeves from being pulled or even caught in the machine, thereby causing industrial safety problems.

Cleanroom Suit is a special type of work clothes designed to be worn by people working in cleanrooms or other clean environments. It can prevent particles, dust, bacteria and other contaminants from entering. It is usually required in some situations. Used in industries with extremely high cleanliness and quality control, such as semiconductor manufacturing, medical equipment manufacturing, biotechnology, food processing and other fields. In addition to blocking particles and dust and preventing the emission of pollutants, clean clothes also provide the wearer with personal protection from external chemicals, microorganisms or other harmful substances.

The research and development directions of cleanroom clothing include the use of innovative materials, intelligence and connectivity, sustainable design (with recyclable materials, reduced waste generation and longer service life), automatic cleaning and disinfection, and industry customization. However, because the dust-free clothing needs to be isolated from the inside and outside, it causes the wearer to feel stuffy. In order to reduce this uncomfortable feeling, manufacturers of dust-free clothing generally make dust-free clothing looser, not very ergonomic and customized according to the wearer's body shape and needs. Although in general workplaces, the workability of this kind of dust-free clothes is not bad, but in some work areas with large machinery and equipment, especially in clean rooms where large work machines are easily entangled with clothes, The risk is relatively high. An industrial safety accident occurred at a technology factory in Taiwan where a machine entangled an employee's clothing, causing his upper limbs to be pulled into the machine and injured. Looking into the reasons why it happened, not all parts of the dust-free coat are easily involved in the machine. Only the part where the operator needs to be close to the operating end of the machine is dangerous, and this part is the sleeve of the coat. Since the cuffs of the dust-free coat are tightly tied to the wrists of the staff with elastic bands, the fluffy and difficult-to-control parts are concentrated at the elbows of the sleeves.

In order to solve the aforementioned industrial safety problems, there is a need for new and improved dust-free clothes on the market, so the new type of dust-free clothes with adjustable elbow width is proposed.

This paragraph extracts and compiles some features of this new model. Other features will be revealed in subsequent paragraphs. It is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

In order to solve the safety concerns caused by the wide elbows of commercially available cleanroom coats, the present invention discloses a cleanroom coat with adjustable elbow width. The inner sides of the elbows of the two sleeves of the dust-free coat extend toward the upper arm and forearm to form a width adjustment area. At least one width adjustment device is provided in the width adjustment area. The width adjustment device concentrates the fabric of the elbows toward the inner side of the elbows. Therefore, when the dust-free garment is worn, the elbows of the two sleeves, the outer sides of part of the upper arm and part of the forearm are flat against the wearer's arm.

In one embodiment, the width adjustment device is an elastic band. The fabric in the width adjustment area forms a plurality of substantially parallel wrinkles along the arm extension direction, and at least one elastic band is sewn across the wrinkles.

Preferably, the at least one elastic band is sewn on the inner surface of the inner elbows of both sleeves.

In another embodiment, the width adjustment device is a set of couplers that can be detachably combined. The coupler includes a first combination unit and a second combination unit. The first combination unit and the second combination unit are installed separately. On both sides of the width adjustment area, when the first combining unit is combined with the second combining unit, part of the fabric is received in a limited space surrounded by other parts of the fabric, thereby reducing the elbow width of the clean clothes. According to the present invention, the first combining unit can be a male buckle, a female buckle, a hook, a hook ring, a male felt or a female felt. The second combination unit can be a female button corresponding to a male button, a male button corresponding to a female button, a shackle corresponding to a hook, a hook corresponding to a hook, a female felt corresponding to a male felt, or a male felt corresponding to a female felt. Felt.

In another embodiment, the width adjustment device is a zipper, and the zipper is fixed on the fabric of the width adjustment area along the arm extension direction. When the zipper is pulled up, a part of the fabric is contained within the limits surrounded by other parts of the fabric. space, thereby reducing the elbow width of the scrubber.

The dust-free garment with adjustable elbow width may be a straight-open one-piece dust-free garment, an obliquely-open one-piece dust-free garment or a crotch-open one-piece dust-free garment.

The width adjustment device pulls the outside of the elbow, part of the upper arm, and part of the forearm of the dust-free garment toward the wearer's arm so that it lies flat against the wearer's arm. This part of the garment will not catch on the work due to the swing of the wearer's work. Objects in the environment may be caught in the machine, causing industrial safety accidents.

The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following examples.

Please see Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of a dust-free garment 1 with adjustable elbow width according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to the present invention, the type of cleanroom garment 1 can be, but is not limited to a straight-opening one-piece cleanroom garment, an obliquely opening one-piece cleanroom garment and a crotch-opening one-piece cleanroom garment. The technology of the present invention is all Suitable for use on these types of clean clothes. Without changing the design of other parts of the cleanroom garment 1, the present invention forms a width adjustment area 11 extending in the direction of the upper arm and forearm on the inside of the elbows of the two sleeves 10 of the cleanroom garment 1 (marked by a dotted oval frame in Figure 1. The two sleeves 10 of the dust-free coat 1 are long sleeves and cover the wearer's upper arm, elbow and forearm. The inner side of the elbow refers to the side where the skin surfaces of the upper arm and forearm are relatively close when the elbow is bent inward. , that is, the side visible to the wearer's eyes. In contrast, the outside of the elbow refers to the side where the skin surfaces of the upper arm and forearm are relatively far away from each other when the elbow is bent inward, and cannot be seen by the wearer's eyes. , are marked with arrows in Figure 1, as well as Figures 3 and 4 that will be mentioned later. Since the wearer can see the fabric on the inner side of the elbows of the two sleeves 10 of the dust-free coat 1, if this part is too long Or it may be too loose and affect the work, or even cause danger. If it is caught in the machine, the wearer can adjust this part. However, it is difficult for the wearer to pay attention to the fabric on the outside of the elbow of the two sleeves 10 of the dust-free coat 1/1. , so that many inconvenient and dangerous situations often occur due to the looseness of this part.

At least one width adjustment device 12 is provided in the width adjustment area 11. The width adjustment device 12 can concentrate the fabric on the elbows of the dust-free garment 1 to the inside of the elbow, so that when the wearer wears the dust-free garment 1, the elbows of both sleeves 10 The "outside" part of the upper arm, part of the forearm and part of the forearm can lie flat against the wearer's arm, preventing loose and shaking situations. In order to achieve this purpose, in this embodiment, the width adjustment device 12 is an elastic band. In order to understand how the elastic band is combined with the fabric in the width adjustment area 11, please see Figure 2. In this figure, the dust-free garment 1 realizes different postures of the elastic band with adjustable elbow width: the upper part shows the elastic belt in a relaxed state, and the lower part shows the elastic belt in a stretched state. tight state. The fabric in the width adjustment area 11 forms several roughly parallel wrinkles 13 along the direction of arm extension (from top to bottom in Figure 2), and at least one or several elastic bands (width adjustment device 12) span these wrinkles. Sewn onto it, the elastic band extends approximately perpendicular to the direction along the arm. It should be noted that the inner sides of the elbows of the two sleeves 10 have two surfaces: an inner surface and an outer surface. The former contacts the wearer's skin or underwear, and the latter faces the external environment. Sewing the elastic band on the outer surface will easily cause the protruding part to hook onto items in the environment, so the elastic band is sewn on the inner surface of the inner side of the elbow of both sleeves 10 . It can be seen from Figure 2 that when the elastic band is in a relaxed state, the wrinkles 13 are obvious and tend to concentrate inward. As a result, the elbow width of the cleanroom coat 1 will become narrower as the fabric wrinkles and gathers inward. This means that the wearer will feel that his elbow and the connected part of the forearm and upper arm are tightened, and the elbow of the cleansing garment 1 will also be narrower than the rest of the sleeve 10 as shown in Figure 1 . In this way, the fabrics on the outer parts of the elbows of the two sleeves 10 of the dust-free garment 1 will be flat against the wearer's arms due to the elastic bands. On the contrary, if the elastic band is in a tightened state, the wrinkles 13 gradually disappear, and the elbow of the dust-free garment 1 can return to its maximum width, making it convenient for the wearer to put on and take off the dust-free garment 1. In addition, due to the adjustment of the elastic band, wearers with thicker or thinner arms can wear the dust-free garment 1 of the same size, and the fabrics on the outer parts of the elbows of the two sleeves 10 of the dust-free garment 1 can still be flat against the wearer. arms.

Please see Figure 3, which is a schematic diagram of another dust-free garment 2 with adjustable elbow width according to an embodiment of the present invention. For convenience of explanation, the same symbols as in Figure 1 are used in Figure 3 (including Figure 4) to represent the same components, and their functions and aspects will not be described again. A different width adjustment device 14 is used in this embodiment. The width adjustment device 14 is a set of couplings that can be detachably coupled. The coupling includes a first coupling unit 14a and a second coupling unit 14b. The first combination unit 14a and the second combination unit 14b are respectively installed on both sides of the width adjustment area 11. As shown in Figure 3, five first combination units 14a are installed on one side of the width adjustment area 11, and five second combination units 14a are installed on one side of the width adjustment area 11. The unit 14b is correspondingly installed on the other side of the width adjustment area 11. It should be noted that, unlike the previous embodiment, the width adjustment device 14 of this embodiment is installed on the outer surface of the inner elbows of both sleeves 10 . When the first combining unit 14a is combined with the second combining unit 14b, part of the fabric is received in a limited space surrounded by other parts of the fabric, thereby reducing the elbow width of the cleanroom garment 2. On the contrary, when the first combining unit 14a and the second combining unit 14b are separated, the elbow width of the cleansing garment 2 will return to its original design to facilitate the wearer to put on and take off the cleansing garment 2 .

According to the present invention, the coupling may be a buckle set, so the first coupling unit 14a may be a male buckle or a female buckle, and the second coupling unit 14b may be a female buckle corresponding to the male buckle, or a male buckle corresponding to the female buckle. In addition, the coupling may also be a hook set, so the first coupling unit 14a may be a hook or a shackle, and the second coupling unit 14b may be a shackle corresponding to the hook, or a hook corresponding to the shackle. The coupler can be a set of devil felts, so the first combining unit 14a can be a male devil felt or a female devil felt, and the second combining unit 14b can be a female devil felt corresponding to the male devil felt, or a male devil felt corresponding to the female devil felt. .

Please see Figure 4, which is a schematic diagram of another dust-free garment 3 with adjustable elbow width according to an embodiment of the present invention. A different width adjustment device 15 is used in this embodiment: a zipper. The zipper is fixed on the fabric of the width adjustment area 11 along the arm extending direction. When the zipper is closed, part of the fabric is contained in a limited space surrounded by other parts of the fabric, thereby reducing the elbow width of the dust-free garment. On the contrary, when the zipper is opened, the elbow width of the dust-free garment 3 will return to its original design, making it easier for the wearer to put on and take off the dust-free garment 3.
