Abstract

To provide a collar stiffener for Japanese clothing undergarments that can be easily used and that keeps the collar neat and clean without wrinkles or pleats.
[Solution] The collar stiffener is a plate-like object that contacts both sides of the collar, the front side, the inside and the fold of the collar, the bottom vertically is the front collar stiffener 2, the top vertically is the inside collar stiffener 3, there is a horizontally long hole 1 including a center line between the front collar stiffener and the inside collar stiffener, and there is a linear fold 4 from the edge of the outer periphery of the hole to the vertical outer periphery. Because the front outer periphery of the hole is longer than the inside outer periphery of the hole, the collar and the inside collar stiffener do not twist and the collar is sandwiched in the hole, eliminating the need for sewing, and the inside of the collar shoulder area drops to fit the body, while the front side shifts up and down to push up the fold, so that when the collar stiffener is inserted inside the collar, between the collar and the outer collar, and folded, it creates vertical stress. The folding part is made thinner than the outer and inner collar stiffeners, making it easy to fold, and since it is a plate-like object, it can be easily inserted into the collar and worn without wrinkles or folds simply by folding.

Description

The present invention relates to a collar stiffener used when wearing Japanese clothing.

A collar core is the base of the collar of the underwear worn under Japanese clothing.

When wearing underwear with Japanese clothing, the collar stiffener serves as a base, fitting snugly to the collar of the kimono, making it look neat and clean.
There are various types of collar stiffeners, including straight, elongated collar stiffeners, slightly curved collar stiffeners, and collar stiffeners for brides.
Collar stiffeners are made from a variety of materials, including polyethylene, nylon, polypropylene, hosho paper, paper cores, and cloth cores.
Collar stiffeners are used for kimonos in general and also for wedding attire.

Conventional collar stiffeners are inserted inside the collar, or are sandwiched between the collar and folded and sewn to the width of the collar.
A stiffening cloth collar stiffener is sewn onto the collar, or a stiffening cloth collar stiffener is sewn onto the outer collar (see Figure 7).

Patent Document 1 discloses a collar stiffener for undergarments that has a roughly inverted mountain-shaped slit from the center of the collar width of the horizontally long rigid core board to both ends, and that is inserted into the collar, sewn along the slit, and then folded.

In Patent Document 2, the fabric piece of the collar core body is formed with a crescent-shaped polymer core (reference number 5 in Patent Document 2) at the center of the collar and a strip-shaped polymer core (reference number 9 in Patent Document 2) with a small gap between the outer curved edges at both left and right ends. The strip-shaped polymer core is a collar core that folds in half along the gap, and there is a cut (reference number 10 in Patent Document 2) in the center of the crescent-shaped polymer core, which forms the collar part in a V shape and serves as a center marker. Note that this cut is only in the crescent-shaped polymer core and not in the fabric piece below it. In other words, there is no so-called hole created by the cut.

In Patent Document 1, when the collar stiffener is inserted into the collar and folded, the collar is thick enough with just the cuts (reference numbers 2 and 3), so the collar stiffener on the inside around the shoulders of the collar twists, and wrinkles and folds do not disappear.

Patent Document 1 requires sewing to keep the collar stays in place, which requires sewing skills, labor, and time.

Patent document 2 is made of a piece of fabric and a polymeric core, and because the collar side is made of a piece of fabric, it is difficult to spread between the collar and the outer collar, which takes time and effort, and wrinkles and folds do not disappear even when folded.

Here, the present invention aims to improve wrinkles and folds by allowing a collar stay to be easily inserted into the collar according to Patent Documents 1 and 2, without the need for sewing.

In order to solve this problem, the inventor worked day and night and came up with the following solution. Note that in the upper right corner of Figure 1, the vertical and horizontal directions are indicated by directional lines, so the horizontal width is the width in the longitudinal direction of the collar stay, and the vertical width is the width in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Also, the vertical outer perimeter is the outer perimeter in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

As a first measure,
A horizontally elongated plate-like object to be inserted into the collar of a Japanese kimono undergarment,

There is a hole including a center line in the lateral direction of the plate-like object,

A collar stay characterized in that the width of the hole is 100 mm or more and the length of the hole is 3 mm or more.

I will provide a.

As the second measure,
The collar stay according to the first aspect of the present invention has a linear folded portion between the outer periphery of the hole and the vertical outer periphery of the collar stay.

I will provide a.

By the way, Japanese undergarments can be any type of undergarment that has a collar, such as a long undergarment, a two-piece undergarment, a half undergarment, a false undergarment, or a false collar.

The plate-like object is what is known as a collar core, and is made of a material that is at least partially hard, such as polyethylene, nylon, polypropylene, hosho paper, a paper core, or a cloth core.

The hole may be of any shape so long as it penetrates from the front to the back, but the optimal shape is not a circle, but rather a horizontally elongated hole as shown in Figure 1 or Figure 2. An example of an end view is shown in the end view of line A-A' in Figure 1.

The outer vertical periphery refers to both outer vertical peripheries of the collar stay, as shown in FIG.
The outer lateral periphery refers to the outer periphery on both sides of the collar stay, as shown in FIG.

The center line is an imaginary line that crosses the center of the collar stay in the horizontal direction. More specifically, as shown in Figure 1 or Figure 3, it is a line that indicates the center between the vertical outer peripheries at both ends. More specifically, it is a line that connects two points, the center of the upper horizontal outer periphery of the collar stay and the center of the lower horizontal outer periphery.

The lateral width of the hole refers to the maximum value of the hole in the lateral direction.
The vertical width of a hole refers to the maximum value of the hole in the vertical direction.

The outer periphery of a hole means the edge of the hole, and more specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, it means the sum of the inner outer periphery and the outer periphery on the front side of the hole.
Incidentally, the hole refers to the total area of the outer periphery and the inside of the hole.
The end of the outer periphery of the hole is as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG.

The vertical and horizontal directions, as well as the top and bottom, are as shown in Figure 1.

The folded part can be of any structure so long as the collar stiffener folds at that point, but for example it can be made of paper and cloth laminated with adhesive. In this case, the core is cardboard (approximately 0.5 mm thick), with the so-called adhesive core laminated on both sides. An example of the end view is shown in the end view of line B-B' in Figure 1.

The collar stiffener touches both sides of the collar, the outside, inside and fold of the collar, making it look neat and clean.

Because there is a hole, the outer perimeter of the front side of the hole can be made longer than the inner perimeter, and the collar and inner collar stiffener can be folded by being sandwiched in the hole without twisting, which has the effect of preventing wrinkles and creases.

The inside of the collar around the shoulders hangs down to fit the body, while the outside shifts up and down to push up the folds. When a collar stiffener is inserted inside the collar and folded, it creates vertical stress, which helps prevent wrinkles and creases.

By making the folded part thinner than the outer and inner collar stiffeners, it is easier to fold, and the collar stiffener fits along the outer, inner and folds of the collar, resulting in a neat and tidy look without wrinkles or creases.

When using collar stiffeners for Japanese undergarments, sewing is required, which requires skill, effort, and time, but the advantage is that no sewing is required.

Since no sewing is required, there is a gap on the inside when folded, which allows space to be created and prevents wrinkles and creases.

Because it is a plate-shaped item, the collar stiffener can be easily inserted into the collar, and it can be worn simply by folding it.

FIG. 2 is a plan view of the collar stay of the present invention. FIG. FIG. This is a front view of the collar stays in their original shape when in use. This is an end view of line CC' when only the collar stays are in use. This is a right side view of the collar and shoulder area when using only the collar stiffener. This is an end view of the line CC' when the collar stay of the present invention is inserted into the collar.

An example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described below.
As shown in Figure 1, this is a plan view of a typical collar stay of the present invention, which has a gentle slope from the center line to the left and right, and is a collar stay that contacts both the front and inside of the collar.

The bottom vertically is the outer collar stiffener, and the top vertically is the inner collar stiffener. There is a horizontal hole including a center line between the outer collar stiffener and the inner collar stiffener, and there is a linear fold from the edge of the outer periphery of the hole to the outer vertical periphery.

The external dimensions are as shown in Figure 3.

As shown in Figure 2, it is preferable for the hole to be long and horizontal. If the width of the hole is less than 100 mm, wrinkles and folds will appear on the inside of the collar stays. If the vertical width of the hole is less than 3 mm, wrinkles and folds will appear on the inside of the collar stays.

Preferably, the vertical width of the hole is 3 mm or more and the horizontal width is 100 mm or more.

As shown in Figure 2, if the outer perimeter of the front side of the hole is longer than the inner perimeter, and the difference is not 2 mm or more, wrinkles and folds will appear.

The folded part is made of a thinner material than the outer and inner collar stiffeners, and as shown in Figure 1, it is connected to one end of the outer periphery of the hole, and the other end is connected to the outer vertical periphery.

This part is the folding part, and has a certain width (gap) for that purpose. The width of the folding part in this case was set to about 2 mm at the edge of the outer periphery of the hole, and 5 mm around the vertical outer perimeter.

As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the outer collar stay and the inner collar stay are misaligned in the vertical direction, and as shown in Figure 5, there is a hole between the outer collar stay and the inner collar stay.

As shown in Figure 7, the hole allows the collar to be sandwiched between the outer collar stiffener and the inner collar stiffener, and the collar stiffener is folded inside the collar, i.e. between the outer collar stiffener and the outer collar stiffener, so wrinkles and folds do not appear due to vertical stress.

Any material can be used for this collar stay, including paper, plastic, cloth, composites of these, and even laminates of these materials, but the material used this time is paper and cloth laminated with adhesive.

Specifically, two pieces of cardboard (approximately 0.5 mm thick) were cut to the specified size, and a commercially available adhesive core was attached to each side with an iron, and then laminated on both sides.

The lamination conditions were a household iron set at 200 degrees, a cloth placed over the surface, and pressure applied for about 5 seconds.

Finally, the remaining outer vertical and horizontal parts and the inside of the hole were cut off with scissors along the outer periphery of the hole as shown in Figure 1.

This collar stiffener narrows the collar width around the shoulders and neck, which means the collar does not stand up when worn and fits neatly and neatly, putting less strain on the body.

When wearing underwear with Japanese clothing, the area around the neck and shoulders tends to pull forward, but the collar stiffener on the inside of the neck and shoulders hangs down to fit the body, so the garment is less likely to come undone.

The area around the collar and shoulders is rounded in a U-shape, so it fits easily to the body.

By changing the shape of this collar stiffener, the width of the joint, and the material, it can be adapted to all kinds of kimonos and bridal attire.

The collar stiffener is made from materials and fabrics that are excellent in flexibility, elasticity, shape retention, and breathability.

The embodiments disclosed in this specification are presented as examples to facilitate understanding of the collar stays according to the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
In other words, it goes without saying that the present invention allows appropriate design changes when producing the collar stays without departing from the scope of the claims.
