Description

The present invention relates to clothing.

Conventionally, in garments in which the peripheral edge of the pocket fabric is sewn to the body fabric to form an upwardly open pocket, garments are known in which an inner fabric is provided with the upper edge and both sides sewn to the inside of the pocket fabric (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 5-123241 Patent No. 6370973

In conventional clothing, the bottom edge of the lining is not sewn to the pocket fabric, so the gap between the lining and the pocket fabric opens downwards. In other words, although the opening direction of the gap between the lining and the pocket and the opening direction of the pocket itself are opposite, both open in the vertical direction. Therefore, when an item is stored in the gap between the lining and the pocket, there is a risk that the stored item will fall out due to the wearer's vertical movement.

The present invention was made with the above problem in mind, and aims to provide clothing that can prevent items stored in pockets from falling out.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a garment having a pocket provided in a body fabric, the pocket comprising a first pocket cloth, a part of a periphery of which is fixed to the body fabric with a pocket opening in a predetermined direction, and a second pocket cloth, a part of which is sewn to the inside of the first pocket cloth, forming a pocket space between the first pocket cloth and the second pocket cloth, the pocket opening being formed between the body fabric and an edge of the first pocket cloth, which has a double structure formed by sewing an edge of the second pocket cloth to the body fabric, the first pocket cloth has an upper edge and a lower edge sewn to the body fabric, the pocket opening is open on both sides in the body width direction, and the second pocket cloth has a lower edge sewn to the lower edge of the first pocket cloth and both side edges sewn to both side edges of the first pocket cloth, and both sides of the inner pocket opening are sewn to the upper edge of the first pocket cloth , the inner pocket opening is open upward in the body length direction .

This allows the garment of the present invention to prevent items stored in the pockets from falling out.

The embodiment of the garment of the present invention will be described based on Example 1 shown in the drawings. In the following description, terms such as "up and down," "left and right," and "front and back" are used based on the wearer wearing the garment 10.

The garment 10 of Example 1 is a jacket (jumper) worn by a wearer on the upper half of the body. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the garment 10 has a front part 20 that covers the front side (chest and abdomen) of the wearer's torso, a back part 30 that covers the rear side (back) of the wearer's torso, a pair of sleeves 11, 11 that cover the wearer's arms, a collar 12, and a hem 13.

In the first embodiment, the sleeves 11 are long sleeves that cover the entire arms of the wearer, but they may be short sleeves, three-quarter sleeves, five-quarter sleeves, etc., or may be a vest type without sleeves 11. Furthermore, the sleeves 11 may be detachable from the vest. The collar 12 may be a stand-up type, or may not have a collar 12. Furthermore, the hem 13 may be provided with elastic rubber or a drawstring, etc., to fit the garment 10 to the wearer and prevent air from leaking out of the garment 10. In addition to providing elastic, the hem 13 may be shirred or gathered to reduce the gap between the hem 13 and the wearer.

As shown in FIG. 1, the front part 20 is provided with a left front body 21 and a right front body 22 that are separated into left and right parts from the center in the width direction, and a linear fastener 23 that freely opens and closes between the left front body 21 and the right front body 22. The left front body 21 and the right front body 22 are formed from fabric such as cloth woven with cotton or synthetic fibers or nonwoven fabric. The fabric forming the left front body 21 and the right front body 22 may have any desired properties such as stretchability or flame retardancy.

The front part 20 may have a pocket at any position, such as a waist pocket or a chest pocket. The front part 20 may also have a through hole for passing a radio cord or the like.

As shown in FIG. 2, the back section 30 has a back body 31 formed by sewing together multiple parts, a pair of attachment holes 32 formed in the back body 31, and an inner pocket 33 (pocket) provided in the back body 31.

The back body 31 is formed from a body fabric having any desired properties, such as stretchability and flame retardancy, or the back body 31 may be formed from a single piece of fabric.

The mounting hole 32 is a circular through-hole for attaching the blower fan 100 (see FIG. 6) to the garment 10. Here, the blower fan 100 is a temperature regulator that blows air into the garment 10 to regulate the temperature inside the garment 10. The blower fan 100 is driven by power supplied from a battery 101 (see FIG. 6). The pair of mounting holes 32 are formed at positions symmetrical with respect to the center of the back body 31 in the left-right direction.

Here, the back body 31 is provided with a pair of reinforcing members 34, multiple (four in this case) retaining members 35, and a pair of tape members 36.

The reinforcing member 34 is a plate member made of synthetic resin or the like with a through hole formed therein that overlaps with the mounting hole 32, and reinforces the periphery of the mounting hole 32. The reinforcing member 34 may be sewn directly to the back body 31, or may be attached to the back body 31 by covering it with a different cloth from the back body 31 and sewing the different cloth to the back body 31. In addition, a piping tape 32a is provided along the opening edge of the mounting hole 32, and covers the opening edge of the mounting hole 32 together with the reinforcing member 34.

The holding member 35 is provided so as to be freely foldable in the vertical direction, and holds by clamping a cord 102a (see FIG. 8) electrically connecting the blower fan 100 and the battery 101, and a cord 102b electrically connecting the battery 101 and a switch device 103 (see FIG. 8) for operating the blower fan 100. Here, the holding member 35 is formed of a hook-and-loop fastener whose inner surfaces engage with each other when folded. The multiple holding members 35 are provided at positions symmetrical in the vertical and horizontal directions, respectively, with the inner pocket 33 at the center.

The tape member 36 is a long strip extending in the left-right direction, with both ends sewn to the back body 31, and the switch device 103 is appropriately hooked onto it. The pair of tape members 36 are provided below the pair of mounting holes 32, in positions that are symmetrical with respect to the inner pocket 33.

The inner pocket 33 is a pocket for storing the battery 101, and is located on the lower side of the center of the back body 31 in the left-right direction, on the inside of the garment 10. That is, the inner pocket 33 is provided between a pair of mounting holes 32. The inner pocket 33 has a first pocket cloth 41, part of whose periphery is fixed to the back body 31, and a second pocket cloth 42 provided on the inside of the first pocket cloth 41, i.e., on the surface facing the back body 31.

The first pocket cloth 41 is a rectangular cloth material as shown in FIG. 3, 4(a), (b), etc. As shown in FIG. 4(b) and FIG. 5, the upper edge 41a and the lower edge 41b of the first pocket cloth 41 are sewn to the back body 31 and the hem 13, respectively. As a result, a cylindrical inner pocket 33 having a pair of pocket openings 43 that open to the left and right sides along the body width direction is formed between the first pocket cloth 41 and the back body 31. Each pocket opening 43 is provided with a piping tape 43a. Here, the piping tape 43a covers the cloth edges of the first pocket cloth 41 and the second pocket cloth 42 together. Note that rubber may be placed inside the piping tape 43a to give the pocket opening 43 elasticity.

Furthermore, the first pocket cloth 41 is formed here from a material that is more breathable than the body fabric of the back body 31, such as a mesh fabric. The stretchability of the first pocket cloth 41 can be set as desired, and it may be formed from a material that is more stretchable than the body fabric of the back body 31.

As shown in Figures 3 and 4(a), the second pocket cloth 42 is a cloth material of approximately the same size as the first pocket cloth 41, and has an inner pocket opening 44 curved in an arc that is recessed downward at its upper edge. Piping tape 44a is provided at the inner pocket opening 44. Here, rubber (not shown) is placed inside the piping tape 44a, and the inner pocket opening 44 has elasticity.

The second pocket cloth 42 has its bottom edge 42b, both side edges 42c, and both side edges 42d of the inner pocket opening 44 sewn to the first pocket cloth 41, as shown in FIG. 4(a). As a result, an inner pocket space P having an inner pocket opening 44 that opens upward is formed between the first pocket cloth 41 and the second pocket cloth 42, as shown in FIG. 5.

Furthermore, the second pocket cloth 42 is formed here from a material that is more elastic than the body fabric of the back body 31, such as a knit fabric. The elasticity of the second pocket cloth 42 can be set arbitrarily relative to the elasticity of the first pocket cloth 41, and may be the same as the elasticity of the first pocket cloth 41, or may be higher or lower than the elasticity of the first pocket cloth 41. Similarly to the first pocket cloth 41, the second pocket cloth 42 may be formed from a material that is more breathable than the body fabric of the back body 31.

The inner pocket space P is a space (gap) formed inside the inner pocket 33, and is connected to the internal space of the inner pocket 33 via the inner pocket opening 44. Meanwhile, the inner pocket 33 is connected to the external space via a pair of pocket openings 43, which are open on both sides in the body width direction. Therefore, the opening direction of the inner pocket opening 44 and the opening direction of the pocket opening 43 are perpendicular to each other.

The function of the garment 10 of Example 1 will be explained below with reference to Figures 6 to 8.

In the garment 10 of Example 1, as shown in FIG. 6, a blower fan 100 is attached to each of a pair of mounting holes 32, and a battery 101 is stored in the inner pocket 33.

Here, the inner pocket 33 comprises a first pocket cloth 41 and a second pocket cloth 42. The first pocket cloth 41 has its periphery (upper edge 41a and lower edge 41b) fixed to the back body 31 with pocket openings 43 on both sides in the body width direction. The second pocket cloth 42 is provided on the inside of the first pocket cloth 41, and forms an inner pocket space P between the first pocket cloth 41 and the cloth, which has an inner pocket opening 44 that opens in a direction perpendicular to the opening direction of the pocket opening 43 (upward).

In other words, the inner pocket 33 has a double structure of a first pocket fabric 41 and a second pocket fabric 42, and the opening direction of the inner pocket opening 44 of the inner pocket space P formed on the inside is perpendicular to the opening direction of the pocket opening 43 of the inner pocket 33 itself.

When storing the battery 101 in such an inner pocket 33, first, as shown by arrow X in FIG. 7, move the battery 101 from the side of the inner pocket 33 along the body width direction, and insert the battery 101 into the inner pocket 33 through the pocket opening 43. Next, as shown by arrow Y in FIG. 7, move the battery 101 inserted inside the inner pocket 33 downward after climbing over the inner pocket opening 44, and insert it into the inner pocket space P through the inner pocket opening 44.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the battery 101 is stored in the inner pocket space P. Here, the inner pocket space P is connected to the inside of the inner pocket 33 via the inner pocket opening 44 that opens upward. In contrast, the inner pocket 33 is tubular and open on both the left and right sides, and the upper part (upper edge 41a of the first pocket fabric 41) is closed. Therefore, even if the battery 101 moves within the inner pocket space P due to the wearer's vertical movement, the battery 101 can be prevented from falling out.

Although the inner pocket 33 is open on both the left and right sides, the side edges 42c of the second pocket cloth 42 are sewn to the first pocket cloth 41 (see Figures 4(a) and (b)). In other words, the inner pocket space P is closed on both the left and right sides. Therefore, even if the battery 101 moves in the inner pocket space P due to the wearer's left-right movements, the battery 101 can be prevented from falling out.

In this way, with the garment 10 of Example 1, the battery 101 stored in the inner pocket 33 can be prevented from falling off even when the wearer moves. In particular, even if the wearer moves in a complex manner that involves twisting the body, such as a golf swing, the first pocket cloth 41 and the second pocket cloth 42 can hold the battery 101 and prevent it from falling off.

In the garment 10 of Example 1, the upper edge 41a and lower edge 41b of the first pocket fabric 41 are sewn to the back body 31, and the pocket opening 43 is open on both the left and right sides along the width direction of the body. In addition, the lower edge 42b and both side edges 42c of the second pocket fabric 42 are sewn to the first pocket fabric 41, and the inner pocket opening 44 is open upward.

As a result, as shown in Fig. 6, the cords 102a and 102b can be routed from both the left and right sides of the battery 101 stored in the inner pocket 33. In addition, since the two cords 102a and 102b can be routed from both the left and right sides of the inner pocket 33, the cords 102a and 102b can also be routed in the opposite direction to the state shown in Fig. 6. In other words, the two cords 102a and 102b can be routed regardless of the orientation of the battery 101.

Moreover, here, the multiple holding members 35 and the pair of tape members 36 are all provided in positions that are symmetrical with respect to the inner pocket 33. Therefore, for example, the orientation of the battery 101 and the tape member 36 on which the switch device 103 is hooked can be set according to the direction of the wearer's golf swing.

In addition, in the garment 10 of Example 1, the inner pocket opening 44 formed in the second pocket fabric 42 is curved in an arc shape that is concave downward in the body length direction. Therefore, when inserting the battery 101 inserted in the inner pocket 33 into the inner pocket space P, it is easy to pass over the inner pocket opening 44, and it can be easily stored.

Furthermore, in the garment 10 of Example 1, rubber is placed inside the piping tape 44a provided at the inner pocket opening 44, making the inner pocket opening 44 stretchable. This allows the inner pocket opening 44 to be aligned with the stored items such as the battery 101, and prevents the inner pocket opening 44 from opening due to the weight of the stored items. This further prevents the stored items from falling out.

In addition, in the garment 10 of Example 1, the second pocket cloth 42 has higher elasticity than the back body 31. Therefore, not only the inner pocket opening 44 but also the fabric of the second pocket cloth 42 can be made to conform to the stored items such as the battery 101. Therefore, the second pocket cloth 42 can prevent the stored items from moving within the inner pocket space P, and can also prevent the stored items from falling out.

In addition, in the garment 10 of Example 1, the first pocket fabric 41 has higher breathability than the back body 31. This prevents heat from the battery 101, which is a stored item, from building up inside the inner pocket 33.

In the garment 10 of Example 1, the inner pocket 33 is located at the lower center inside the back body 31. This ensures that items stored in the inner pocket 33 do not hinder the wearer's movements and do not get in the way. Also, the weight of the stored items can be distributed and supported by the back body 31. Furthermore, the stored items can be sandwiched between the back body 31 and the wearer, further preventing the stored items from falling out.

The garment 10 of the present invention has been described above based on Example 1, but the specific configuration is not limited to Example 1, and design changes and additions are permitted as long as they do not deviate from the gist of the invention in each claim.

In the garment 10 of Example 1, the upper edge 41a and the lower edge 41b of the first pocket cloth 41 are sewn to the back body 31, the pocket opening 43 is open on both the left and right sides along the body width direction, and the lower edge 42b and both side edges 42c of the second pocket cloth 42 are sewn to the first pocket cloth 41, and the inner pocket opening 44 is open upward. However, this is not limited to this, and it is sufficient that the opening direction of the pocket opening 43 and the opening direction of the inner pocket opening 44 are perpendicular to each other. Therefore, for example, both side edges and the lower edge 41b of the first pocket cloth 41 may be sewn to the back body 31, the pocket opening 43 may be opened upward, and the upper edge and the lower edge 42b of the second pocket cloth 42 may be sewn to the first pocket cloth 41, and the inner pocket opening 44 may be opened in the left and right directions. In Example 1, the pocket opening 43 is open on both the left and right sides, but it may be opened only on one side.

In the garment 10 of Example 1, the inner pocket opening 44 is curved in a downwardly concave arc shape, but this is not limited to the above. The shape of the inner pocket opening 44 can be set as desired. The elasticity of the inner pocket opening 44, the elasticity of the second pocket fabric 42, and the breathability of the first pocket fabric 41 can all be set as desired depending on the size of the inner pocket 33 and the items to be stored therein, and do not necessarily need to be more elastic or breathable than the body fabric.

In addition, the pocket opening 43 and the inner pocket opening 44 may be provided with a removable engaging member such as a hook-and-loop fastener or a snap button so that they can be closed as needed.

In the garment 10 of Example 1, the inner pocket 33 is located on the inside of the garment 10 at the lower center of the back body 31, but the position of the inner pocket 33 can be set arbitrarily. That is, for example, the inner pocket 33 may be located on the inside of the left front body 21 or the right front body 22, or on the inside of the upper part of the back body 31. The inner pocket 33 may also be located on the front side of the garment 10.

In addition, in the garment 10 of Example 1, an example is shown in which the battery 101 that supplies power to the blower fan 100 is stored in the inner pocket 33, but this is not limited to this. The inner pocket 33 can store any item, such as a heat source for keeping warm or a mobile terminal such as a smartphone. Note that when storing a heat source or the like, it is not necessarily necessary to form an attachment hole 32 for attaching the blower fan 100 in the garment 10.

In the first embodiment, the garment 10 is an upper garment worn by the wearer on the upper body, but this is not limited to the above. The garment 10 may be a lower garment, or a coverall consisting of a connected upper garment and lower garment. Even in these cases, the position of the inner pocket 33 and the opening direction of the pocket opening 43 and the inner pocket opening 44 can be set as desired.
