Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a national entry application of International Application No. PCT/KR2019/017134 filed on Dec. 5, 2019, which claims priority to Korean Application No. 10-2019-0009552 filed on Jan. 25, 2019, the entire contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates generally to a garment provided with an elastic waist belt and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly to a garment provided with an elastic waist belt, in which an elastic band having elasticity is provided in the waist end of a pair of pants, does not generate wrinkles, and is not exposed to the outside, and a method of manufacturing the same.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

In general, overeating during meals causes the abdomen to expand, in which case the waist size of pants being worn has to be adjusted to relieve pressure on the abdomen.
However, in general, pants such as jeans, cotton pants, and suit pants have zippers applied thereto, so the size of the waist thereof cannot be adjusted, with the result that a user overcomes it by releasing the waist belt or buttons of pants, which causes the problem of a bad appearance.
Furthermore, when a user's weight increases or decreases after the purchase of pants, the pants have to be repaired to fit the size of the waist. This causes the economic problem of incurring repairing expenses, and in the case of pants with a waist size reduced due to a reduced weight, a problem arises in that the pants cannot be worn when the weight is increased later.
In order to solve this problem, there have been proposed pants in which a waist end 20 is formed by arranging fabric so that the fabric can extend in a horizontal direction and an elastic band 30 is attached onto the inner surface of the waist end 20, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
These pants are made so that the waist end 20 can extend desirably in the horizontal direction, and the elastic band 30 is mounted, so that the waist size can be easily changed according to a user's physical condition. Accordingly, the pants have the advantage of excellent wearing comfort. When a user squats while wearing pants, the back of the waist end 20 comes into close contact with the user's body due to the elasticity of the elastic band 30, and thus it has the advantage of excellent appearance.
However, in these pants, the elastic band 30 is exposed from the upper part of the waist end 20, and thus a difference in appearance from ordinary pants is caused, thereby impairing aesthetics.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the garment provided with an elastic waist belt according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a garment body 100, a waist end 200, and a first elastic band 300.
The garment body 100 is a pair of ordinary bottoms, more specifically a pair of pants having a zippered opening and closing portion at the front thereof.
Although it will be apparent that the garment body 100 may be a pair of cotton pants, it is a pair of jeans in the present embodiment of the present invention.
The garment body 100 includes a waist portion 110 that surrounds the circumference of the waist of a wearer when he or she wears the garment.
The waist portion 110 is the upper end portion of the garment body 100, and the waist end 200 to be described later is mounted on the waist portion 110.
The waist end 200 is made of an elastic material that extends in a circumferential direction, and is configured such that an inner portion 210 and an outer portion 220 overlap each other to form a space portion 230.
In other words, the waist end 200 has a shape folded in half in the middle thereof. The inner portion 210 is a portion that is disposed on the inner side of the garment body 100, and the outer portion 220 is a portion that is disposed on the outer side of the garment body 100.
A first seam margin 211 and a second seam margin 221 are formed at the lower ends of the waist end 200, respectively, and are sewn and coupled along the upper end of the waist portion 110.
More specifically, the first seam margin 211 is a portion obtained by folding up the lower end of the inner portion 210, and the second seam margin 221 is a portion obtained by folding up the lower end of the outer portion 220.
The vertical widths of the first seam margin 211 and the second seam margin 221 are the same. As shown in FIG. 4, the first seam margin 211 and the second seam margin 221 are disposed with the upper end of the waist portion 110 interposed therebetween, and are sewn and coupled to the upper end of the waist portion 110.
Meanwhile, the first elastic band 300 is inserted into the inside of the waist end 200, and is a rubber band extending in a circumferential direction.
The upper end of the first elastic band 300 is coupled along the upper end and circumference of the waist end 200, and the lower end of the first elastic band 300 is disposed at the lower end of the waist end 200 in a free state.
More specifically, the upper end of the first elastic band 300 is disposed, sewn and coupled between the upper end of the inner portion 210 and the upper end of the outer portion 220, and the lower end of the first elastic band 300 is disposed adjacent to the tops of the first seam margin 211 and the second seam margin 221 and placed in a free state without being sewn.
In other words, the lower end of the first elastic band 300 is disposed symmetrically with the upper end of the waist end 200 in a vertical direction above the tops of the first seam margin 211 and the second seam margin 221.
As described above, the upper end of the first elastic band 300 is coupled to the upper end of the waist end 200 and the lower end of the first elastic band 300 is placed in a free state, so that the waist end 200 is tightened by the elastic force of the first elastic band 300 to prevent wrinkles from being generated, with the result that the waist end 200 is allowed to be formed straight in appearance like in a pair of ordinary pants, thereby providing the effects of making wearing convenient and enhancing aesthetics.
Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 5, in some cases, a second elastic band 400 may be further provided inside the waist end 200.
The second elastic band 400 is made of an elastic material extending in a circumferential direction, and is a rubber band having the same width as the first elastic band 300.
The second elastic band 400 is inserted and mounted into the space portion 230 of the waist end 200, and the lower end of the second elastic band 400 is coupled along the lower end of the waist end 200.
In other words, the lower end of the second elastic band 400 is sewn and coupled to the inner portion 210 and outer portion 220 of the waist end 200 in the state of being disposed above the first seam margin 211 and the second seam margin 221.
Furthermore, the lower end of the first elastic band 300 is disposed to overlap the lower end of the second elastic band 400, the upper end of the second elastic band 400 is disposed to overlap the upper end of the first elastic band 300, and they are disposed in the state of being separate without being sewn together.
As described above, the second elastic member 400 is disposed to overlap the first elastic band 300 and the lower end of the second elastic member 400 is coupled to the waist end 200, so that the elastic force of the waist end 200 is strengthened while preventing wrinkles or steps from being generated in the waist end 200, thereby further improving wearing comfort.
A method of manufacturing the garment provided with an elastic waist belt, which is configured as described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described.
More specifically, the method of manufacturing the garment provided with an elastic waist belt according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a first sewing step, a seam margin forming step, and a second sewing step.
In the first sewing step, the waist end 200 is folded such that the inner portion 210 and the outer portion 220 are superimposed on each other, and the first elastic band 300 is interposed between the inner portion 210 and the outer portion 220 and fastened by performing stitching along the upper end of the first elastic band 300.
Thereafter, in the seam margin forming step, the first seam margin 211 is formed by lifting up the lower end of the inner portion 210, and the second seam margin 221 is formed by lifting up the lower end of the outer portion 220.
Furthermore, in the second sewing step, the upper end of the waist portion 110 is inserted and disposed between the first seam margin 211 and the second seam margin 221 so that they are superimposed on each other, and then they are combined with each other through sewing.
In this case, the first elastic band 300 is disposed not to overlap the upper ends of the first seam margin 211, the second seam margin 221, and the waist portion 110.
Meanwhile, when the second elastic band 400 is provided inside the waist end 200, a temporary adhering step of providing the second elastic band 400 inside the waist end 200 and a third sewing step of combining the lower end of the second elastic band 400 with the waist end 200 through sewing are sequentially performed before the seam margin forming step.
In the temporary adhering step, the upper end of the second elastic band 400 is temporality adhered to the lower end of the first elastic band 300 with a water-soluble bond.
The water-soluble bond is a material that melts and disappears during washing with water, and the first elastic band 300 and the second elastic band 400 are separated again after washing.
In the third sewing step, the lower end of the second elastic band 400 and the inner portion 210 and outer portion 220 of the waist end 200 are disposed to be superimposed on each other, and are combined together through sewing.
As described above, the upper end of the second elastic band 400 and the lower end of the first elastic band 300 are adhered to each other to match each other, so that the second elastic band 400 and the first elastic band 300 may be prevented from being superimposed on or separated from each other, thereby providing the effect of making sewing work convenient.
The present invention is not limited to this, but may be modified in various forms by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims, and thus such modifications should be interpreted as falling within the scope of the present invention.
