Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of Invention
  • The present invention relates to shirt field, and more particularly to a no-stitch shirt which is anti-wrinkle and no-ironing and its production method.
  • 2. Description of Related Arts
  • Conventionally, the production of a shirt is cutting a fabric into pieces firstly, and then sewing the pieces by sewing thread. It is inevitable that stitches are left in seams of the pieces. The greatest weakness of this conventional production is easy to appear wrinkles in seams. Especially with the development of the garment industry, the wrinkling problem becomes a tough problem after the advent of shirt made of no-ironing fabric and functional fabric. Although people has thought a lot of way to solve above problem, such as adding resin solution into the seams for no-ironing, or sewing the adhesive materials into the seams, all of the ways fail to leave sewing thread, that is, the wrinkling problem is not settled thoroughly.
  • It is found that the main causes of wrinkles are sewed by sewing thread, such as the shrinkage of sewing thread, the elongation of sewing thread, and the extrusion after sewing the sewing thread into fabric, etc. Therefore, to solve the wrinkling problem, sewing thread must be removed.
  • On Aug. 24, 2008, the applicant filed a Chinese utility model titled “no-stitch shirt”, with an Appl. No.: 200820027138.0 for the initial idea of “no-stitch sewing”, and received a grant of patent on May 20, 2009.
  • The present invention is an improvement based on the above utility model. The applicant enlarges ranges of the trials of skeleton adhesion process and darning process, and accumulates a large number of trial datas, which prepare for a reliable basis for the no-stitch technology further applied into industrial production.
  • SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
  • A main object of the present invention is to provide a no-stitch shirt and its production method to overcome above shortcomings. Instead of using sewing threads to joint all garment pieces (collar, body, sleeves, pocket, etc.) together, the present invention applies skeleton adhesion or darning process to obtain a no-stitch shirt which is anti-wrinkle and no-ironing.
  • Accordingly, in order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a no-stitch shirt, which is characterized in that collar piece, front piece, rear piece, shoulder pieces, sweep piece, sleeve pieces, front fly piece and pocket piece of the no-stitch shirt are jointed or coverseamed together via skeleton adhesion or darning process, without sew threads.
  • The no-stitch shirt as recited above further comprises an inner pocket piece provided on an inner surface of the no-stitch shirt, directly opposite the pocket piece.
  • The present invention also provides a method of producing the no-stitch shirt recited as above, wherein fabric for producing the no-stitch shirt does not contain adhesive fiber, comprising:
  • (a) cutting the fabric into garment pieces, wherein the garment pieces comprises collar piece, front piece, rear piece, shoulder pieces, sweep piece, sleeve pieces, front fly piece and pocket piece;
  • (b) applying no-stitch processes to join all of the garment pieces: the collar piece, the front piece, the rear piece, the shoulder pieces, the sweep piece, the sleeve pieces, the closure piece and the pocket piece together, obtaining a no-stitch shirt;
  • (c) ironing and molding the no-stitch shirt.
  • Furthermore, in the step (a), all or part of the garment pieces are cut as a whole.
  • In the step (b), all or part of no-stitch processes apply skeleton adhesion process, alternatively, all or part of no-stitch processes apply darning process.
  • In the step (c), for the no-stitch shirt joined via skeleton adhesion process, applying a stereo ironing machine to mold at high-temperature, then cooling to room temperature, a finished no-stitch shirt is obtained, while for the no-stitch shirt joined via darning process, a finished no-stitch shirt is obtained only by conventional ironing.
  • Alternatively, in the step (b), part of no-stitch processes apply skeleton adhesion process, and the other part of no-stitch processes apply darning process.
  • For the skeleton adhesion process, firstly, cut the fabric into pieces, then select skeleton adhesive material from the group consisting of: TPU (thermoplastic polyurethanes) film; TPU (thermoplastic polyurethanes) hot melt adhesive film; PA (polyamide) hot melt adhesive; and PES (polyester) hot melt adhesive. Furthermore, coat the skeleton adhesive material on seams of the garment pieces, wherein a width of the skeleton adhesive material coating on seams of the garment pieces is set to 0.2˜4 cm, then stick relative garment pieces together in forms selected from a group consisting of U-shape sticking; liner-shape sticking; and bilayer parallel sticking. It is worth to mention that according to different parts of the no-stitch shirt, adopt the following mode to coat the skeleton adhesive material on seams of the pieces: half-coverseam, butted adhesive, or pasting from outside.
  • As for a fabric for producing the no-stitch shirt containing adhesive fiber, a method of producing the no-stitch shirt recited as above, comprises:
  • (a) cutting the fabric into garment pieces, wherein the garment pieces comprises collar piece, front piece, rear piece, shoulder pieces, sweep piece, sleeve pieces, closure piece and pocket piece;
  • (b) applying no-stitch processes to join all of the garment pieces: the collar piece, the front piece, the rear piece, the shoulder pieces, the sweep piece, the sleeve pieces, the closure piece and the pocket piece together, obtaining a no-stitch shirt;
  • (c) ironing and molding the no-stitch shirt.
  • Furthermore, in the step (a), all or part of the garment pieces is cut as a whole.
  • In the step (b), the garment pieces are joined or fittingly and buttedly joined via hot melt.
  • In the step (c), applying a stereo ironing machine to mold at high-temperature, then cooling to room temperature, then a finished no-stitch shirt is obtained.

  • The sewing machine has a history of several hundred years, over the centuries people use the sewing machine to product clothing. The present invention will partially or completely replace traditional sewing machine and sewing thread, which will be a profound change of idea for the future. The present invention saves a plenty of resources and labor, producing clothing production easily. The present invention ends the history of sewing clothing by sewing thread, which is a second revolution in clothing history. The no-stitch technology will extend to other areas of clothing sewing.
  • The advantages of the no-stitch shirt provided by the present invention are as follows:
  • 1. Avoiding wrinkles of all of the joints, the fitting butted joints or the coverseams, causing by sewing threads. At present, an ordinary shirt only has a 3.0 degree planeness after washed 20 times, while the planeness of the no-ironing shirt a can reach to 3.5˜4.5 degree.
  • 2. The seams of the no-stitch shirt have high strength. The ordinary shirt is sewed by sewing threads, which destroy the seams of the shirt, and reduce its power. So the ordinary shirt has poor fracture resistance and washing resistance. Under the base of no destroying fabric, adding skeleton adhesive materials to adhere the pieces together, all of the the joints, the fitting butted joints or the coverseams of the no-stitch shirt enhance their fracture resistance and washing resistance, wherein the washing resistance can reach to 100 times or more times.
  • 3. Having good overall effect, strong three-dimensional effect, and same color effect. In the no-stitch process, the skeleton adhesive materials will be melted inside seams, so the outside shows the color of the fabric, avoiding the color differences between the sewing thread and the fabric, so as to enhance the same color effect.
  • 4. The no-stitch processes are cost saving and uses uncomplicated process and environmental materials, achieving the dual object of comfort and fashion.
  • 5. Resulting from no swing thread in the seams, it is not necessary to distinguish the right side and the wrong side of the no-stitch shirt. The seams look same from both sides, so people can wear the no-stitch shirt from both sides. Therefore, the no-stitch shirt achieves multi-purpose effect, further increases the added value of one no-stitch shirt.
