Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a finished garment made from a tubular blank, and more particularly to a novel and improved garment which is suitable for wear by male or female, child or adult.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a unique simply made garment which, assuring proper fullness in the breast region, fits the individual well.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a garment which, because of its simple construction, can be manufactured much more efficiently and economically than garments of conventional construction.
  • Still further object of the invention is to provide a unique loose fitting gannent of good appearance which can be worn by everyone, young and old, man or woman.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide a construction of garment which makes possible the production of garments from tubular blanks made not only from knit material but also even from paper blank, the parts of which can be joined with fewer stitches than in the prior art or even by technique of bonding or fastening other than stitching, for example, by adhesive, thereby permitting additional economies in manufacture.
  • FIG. I is a plan view showing a tubular blank that has just been cut in order to obtain a garment
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view similar to FIG. 1 but showing the garment with fragment pieces cut away from the tubular blank;
  • FIG. 3 is a front view of the garment cut and folded to form the front or body portion of the garment with a sleeve portion, with a neck opening cut away;
  • FIG. 4 is a front view of the finished garment
  • FIG. 5 is a front view of the garment in which a decorative collar and cuffs have been fastened or bonded to the neck opening and sleeve bands, respectively;
  • FIG. 6 is a front view similar to FIG. 2 but shows another embodiment of the sleeve portion wherein the convex portion of the outer edges thereof is in somewhat different form.
  • FIG. 1 shows a tubular blank ll] of predetermined length flattened to make two rectangles, one superimposed on the other. A cut is then made in the two layers of the flattened tubular blank 10. This cut goes from a point IS on the left hand edge to a point 16 on the right hand edge of the blank 10.
  • the blank is cut from the left hand edge thereof. It should be noted, however, that the blank may be cut from either left or right hand edge thereof.
  • a sleeve portion 11 (II is on the rear side) of dove head shape and a front or breast portion 12 bounded by S-shaped line are produced.
  • the sleeve portion 11 is bounded by an inflected curvature of a-b-c (a-b'c' are on the rear side), and d-e (d'-e' are on the rear side).
  • the breast region 12 is in turn bounded by an S-shaped line which consists oftwo edgesf, g (f, g' are on the rear side).
  • curvature of a-b-c and d-e starts from the point 13 on the left edge, rises to an apex 14, drops slightly then forms a gentle convex c touching the top edge at a point I5, and rounds the comer to an apex 16, then forms a gentle concave curve d to an apex 17, from where it swings downwards to make a closed loop which crosses the longitudinal center line X-X, the S-shaped line continuing upward from the point 18 to an apex 19 which, where cut of the neck opening will start, in a curve gradually drawing away from the edge d of the outer edge of the sleeve portion 1 I.
  • curvature of 11-1; (a'b' are on the rear side) is drawn along a line fonning an angle of between 30 40 with a horizontal line perpendicular to the center line XX, the edge b being the length of the S-shaped line f, g.
  • edges c, e are important if proper balance and fullness are to be achieved.
  • the edges c, e should be essentially the same length. The same is true as regards the edge b and S-shaped line f-g.
  • the S-shaped line includes, as shown, the edges f, 3 U g are on the rear side) starting at the point 18 on the longitudinal center line XX and ending at the apex l9 and it forms not only an upper side of the garment but also Sshaped seam.
  • the general proportion of the curvature for the sleeve and breast regions are governed by the points l3, l4, l5 and 16 on the outer edges and the points 16, I7 and 18 on the inner edges of the sleeve portion and by the points l8, 19 on the S-shaped line, and by the center line X-X which determines roughly the position of the loop ef( e'-f is on the rear side).
  • the breast portion 12 has its top portion cut off in a desired form in accordance with the wears taste. It should be noted that the edge of the neck opening should be formed so as to allow the apex 19 (19' is on the rear side) to align with the apex 14 thus being made to conform to the neck round of the wearer.
  • the blank I0 is folded symmetrically along the longitudinal line X-X whereby the sleeve region II with the breast region I2 thus are ready for securing, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • edges b, b andf, g, (f, g) are joined to form the S- shaped seam, and by joining the edges c, c to the edges e, e to assure proper fullness in the breast region.
  • a substantially complete garment is thus readily produced with a minimum of cutting and fastening.
  • decorative components such as a collar and cuffs may be fastened or bonded to the respective portions of the garment as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the edge e of the outer edges of the sleeve portion may be in a different fonn as shown in another embodiment in FIG. 6 in accordance with a physical feature of the wearer. In this instance, the edge e is in a flattened convex curve to fit the individual who requires less exercise. it goes without saying, with such configuration of the edge c, the edges e, f is drawn in a flattened loop.
  • a blank for forming a garment comprising a flattened tubular body having two rectangles of material superimposed on each other, said rectangles being cut along a curvature line, reference a, from the left band edge of the rectangles to a first apex, said cut dropping slightly from the first apex and extending upwardly along a curvature line, reference 1:, to a top edge and rounded downwardly, reference c, to a second apex from which said cut fonns a gentle downward concave curve, reference d, extending to a third apex from which said out extends as an ovate curvature.
  • a garment may be formed having a pair of upper side lines corresponding to reference lines f and g, each forming shouldenjoint seams when joined to reference line b, said curvature line from the fourth apex to the right hand edge along with the cut of reference line a forming a neck area, said cut d forming sleeve bands when said reference line 0 is joined to 2 under arm seams.
