The present invention relates to the technical sector concerning articles of clothing.
In particular, the present invention relates to a method for realising a garment provided with a belt to be worn on the lower limbs, and a relative garment provided with a belt.
Generally, a garment provided with a belt to be worn on the lower limbs can comprise: a belt comprising a first portion and a second portion of a fabric formed by braided fibres in such a way as to be perpendicular to one another and free of elastic properties, which are overlapped on one another to embrace the waist of a person wearing the garment, when the garment is worn; a main body conformed to at least partially cover the lower limbs of a person wearing the garment, when the garment is worn.
However, the garment can be uncomfortable, due to the fact that the belt, being without elastic properties, can pinch the waist of the wearer, in particular during movement, when the wearer assumes bent positions, or when seated, when relaxed positions are taken up.
Further, the garment with pockets do not respond to the needs of the clientele which, owing to the physical shape thereof, would require garment sizes that differ from the part surrounding the waist and from the part that at least partially covers the lower limbs: in fact, in this case, a garment of this type, when worn, can dress well but pinch the waist.
In order to obviate the problem, there is often the tendency to purchase a larger-fitting garment in order to avoid the perceptible tightness in the waist.
The above-mentioned drawbacks are obviated by a known garment provided with a belt (100) to be worn on the lower limbs,
In detail, the belt (101) comprises a first portion (101a) and a second portion (101b) which are overlapped on one another and between which the elastic strip (102) is arranged.
Therefore the seam (106) fixes the first portion (101a) and the second portion (101b) of the belt (101) and the elastic strip (102) to one another.
It follows that, at the moment in which the known garment provided with a belt (100) is worn, the extension of the belt (101) is limited to the portion of ruffled material between one fixing point and the following of the seam (106).
Therefore, as the seam (106) fixes the first portion (101a) and the second portion (101b) of belt (101) and the elastic strip (102) to one another, there is no way to best exploit the elastic properties of the elastic strip (102) itself.
In other words, with the known garment provided with a belt (100) there is no way to exploit the elastic properties of the elastic strip (102) and this also makes the known pair of trousers provided with a belt (100) uncomfortable.
A further drawback of the known trousers provided with a belt (100) is relative to an aesthetic factor, as the material of the belt (101) is ruffled and this aspect tends to categorise the known trousers provided with a belt (100) as a pair of sports pants.
In the light of the above, the aim of the present invention consists in obviating the drawbacks of the prior art.
The above aim is attained with a method for realising a garment provided with a belt to be worn on the lower limbs, according to claim 1 and with a garment provided with a belt to be worn on the lower limbs, according to claim 8.
The portions of fabric of the first plurality of portions of fabric, which will be coupled to conform the first strip of the belt, are advantageously realised by making cut lines having an inclined direction with respect to the weft direction and to the warp direction: in this way, the portions of fabric include an arrangement of the braided fibres, which constitute the fabric itself, that is inclined with respect to the cut lines and is such as to allow a partial closure of the openings which define the net structure of the fabric, at the moment of the application of a traction force at the sides of the cut portion of fabric and along the cut line. A deformation of the portion of fabric follows, i.e. an extension in length of the portion of fabric, while using a fabric formed by fibres free of elastic properties. Further, the overlapping and the fixing of the first elastic strip and the first strip to one another enables obtaining a belt that is such as to return to a rest position, when not subject to the traction force: in other words, the belt of the garment of the present invention is of such a type as to lengthen, following the action of a traction force, because of the cutting method of the portions of fabric of the first plurality of portions of fabric which define the first strip and is such as to shorten, when the action of the traction force is interrupted, owing to the first elastic strip.
This produces a garment provided with a belt that is such as to ensure a reversible deformation of the relative belt.
Specific embodiments of the invention will be described in the following part of the present description, according to what is set down in the claims and with the aid of the accompanying tables of drawings, in which:
With reference to the appended tables of drawings, a method is described in the following for realising a garment provided with a belt (1) to be worn on the lower limbs, object of the present invention, comprising steps of (which can be carried out not necessarily in the order given):
The garment (1) can be a pair of trousers.
Alternatively, the garment (1) can be a skirt (not illustrated).
The fabric (3) can be made of natural fibres or vegetal or synthetic fibres.
The fabric (3) can be a fabric formed by fibres free of elastic properties.
In other words, the fibres can be non-elastic fibres.
The fabric (3) can be defined as a woven fabric.
Further, the fibres of the fabric (3) can be braided to one another in such a way as to prevent a relative reversible deformation.
The fibres constituting the fabric (3) can extend along the weft direction (T) and along the warp direction (O) (see
In other words, the fibres of the fabric (3) which extend along the weft direction (T) are without elastic properties.
Likewise, the fibres of the fabric (3) which extend along the warp direction (O) are without elastic properties.
By way of example, the fabric (3) can be made of cotton or wool or gabardine or the like.
Further,
The step of coupling the portions of fabric (4a) of the first plurality of portions of fabric (4) can include sewing the portions of fabric (4a) to one another to form the first strip (6).
The first strip (6) can be conformed in such a way as to embrace the waist of a person wearing the garment (1), when the garment (1) is worn.
The step of overlapping the first strip (6) and the first elastic strip (7) can be done in such a way as to overlap them to define a planar extension.
The belt (8) can be conformed in such a way as to embrace the waist of a person wearing the garment (1), when the garment (1) is worn.
The main body (9) can be obtained from the fabric (3) by cutting a second plurality of portions of fabric (11).
In detail, by cutting the fabric (3) into the first plurality of portions of fabric (4) a remaining part of fabric (3) will be obtained.
The method can comprise a step of cutting the remaining part of fabric (3) into the second plurality of portions of fabric (11).
The portions of fabric (11a) of the second plurality of portions of fabric (11) can be coupled to one another to define the main body (9).
The portions of fabric (11a) of the second plurality of portions of fabric (11) can be dimensioned so as to define the main body (9).
Alternatively, the main body (9) can be obtained from a second fabric (12), which is different to the first fabric (3).
The second fabric (12) can be a fabric formed by fibres having elastic properties.
By way of example, the second fabric (12) can have synthetic fibres.
The synthetic fibres can be of the Spandex type.
The second fabric (12) can be a stretch-type fabric, i.e. having elastic synthetic fibres which extend along the weft direction (T) or along the warp direction (O).
Alternatively, the second fabric (12) can be a bi-stretch type fabric, i.e. having elastic synthetic fibres which extend along the weft direction (T) and warp direction (O).
In detail, in the case in which the garment (1) is a pair of trousers, the main body (9) can form the legs of the trousers (see
The belt (8) can comprise a first end (8a) and a second end (8b).
The step of fixing the belt (8) and the main body (9) to one another can include fixing the belt (8) and the main body (9) at the second end (8b) of the belt (8).
In this case, the fastening can be done by making a seam line (13).
It is specified that by rest condition it is meant that the portion of fabric (4a) is not subjected to a traction force; while by extension condition it is meant that the portion of fabric (4a) is subjected to a traction force (F) along the inclined direction (I).
By comparing
In other words, the fabric (3), by dint of its conformation, includes a net structure (3a) having openings (3b).
By applying a traction force (F) along the inclined direction (I) there is a partial closure of the openings (3b) of the net structure (3a) so as to enable a deformation of the fabric (3) itself: in fact, this deformation enables obtaining an extension in length of the portion of fabric (4a) during the application of the traction force (F).
To demonstrate the above description, the inventors carried out tests on portions of fabric made of cotton.
These tests were conducted by simulating a traction force (F) of 100 gf/cm (grams force/centimetre) at two sides of a predetermined portion of fabric (4a) made of cotton, by means of a FAST dynamometer.
In detail, the tests were conducted on the same portion of fabric (4a), the traction force (F) along the weft direction (T), along the warp direction (O) and along the inclined direction (I) with a value of 30°, 45° and 60°.
The tests demonstrated that: the extension percentage, in the case in which the traction force (F) is applied along the weft direction (T) is 1%; the extension percentage, in the case in which the traction force (F) is applied along the warp direction (O) is 2.6%; the extension percentage, in the case in which the traction force (F) is applied along the inclined direction (I) of 30° is 4.5%; the extension percentage, in the case in which the traction force (F) is applied along the inclined direction (I) of 45° is 5.4%; the extension percentage, in the case in which the traction force (F) is applied along the inclined direction (I) of 60° is 5.2%.
The step of fixing the first strip (6) and the first elastic strip (7) to one another preferably includes gluing the first strip (6) and the first elastic strip (7) to one another.
In this case the first elastic strip (7) can have thermo-adhesive properties.
A stable fixing is advantageously ensured between the first strip (6) and the first elastic strip (7), so as to guarantee the properties of reversible deformation of the belt (8), including for varied uses of the garment provided with a belt (1).
Alternatively, the step of fixing the first strip (6) and the first elastic strip (7) to one another can include sewing them together (not illustrated).
In detail, with particular reference to
Thereafter, a first edge (6a) of the first strip (6) is folded on the first elastic strip (7), realising a first overlap zone (10) (see
The method can comprise steps of:
The second elastic strip (14) advantageously guarantees support to the reversible deformation of the belt (8), once the garment (1) is worn.
The second elastic strip (14) and the belt (8) can be fixed to one another at the first end (8a) of the belt (8).
In detail, with reference to
The step of fixing the second elastic strip (14) and the belt (8) to one another preferably includes sewing the second elastic strip (14) and the belt (8) to one another, realising a second seam line (16).
Likewise, the step of fixing the main body (9) and the belt (8) to one another can include sewing the main body (9) and the first strip (6) to one another, realising a third seam line (17).
The second seam line (16) can be a linear seam realised with an elasticated thread.
A fastening is advantageously obtained between the two portions having elastic properties, also having elastic properties.
The elasticated thread can be a polyester multifilament thread, having an elongation at break of up to 70%.
The third seam line (17) can be realised with an elasticated thread.
In particular, the third seam line (17) can be realised with an elasticated thread when the main body (9) is obtained from the second fabric (12), according to the embodiment in which the second fabric (12) is of the stretch or bi-stretch type.
In detail, with reference to
The method can comprise steps, which can be carried out not necessarily following what is described in the foregoing of:
It is advantageously possible to realise a garment provided with a belt (1) with pockets.
In the case in which the garment provided with a belt (1) is a pair of trousers, it is possible to realise trousers with pockets (see
The at least a pocket lining (18) can be realised in the fabric (3).
In this case, the at least a pocket lining (18) can be realised by cutting a third plurality of portions of fabric by making a third plurality of cut lines having an inclined direction (I) with respect to the weft direction (T) and the warp direction (O) and each cut line of the third plurality of cut lines has an inclined direction (I) of an internal angle, with the weft direction (T) or the warp direction (O), comprised between 30° and 60° (not illustrated).
Alternatively, the at least a pocket lining (18) can be realised in the second fabric (12).
The step of fixing the at least a pocket lining (18), the main body (9) and the belt (8) to one another can include sewing the at least a pocket lining (18), the main body (9) and the belt (8) to one another realising a fourth seam line (19).
In detail, a seam is made to fasten to one another the at least a pocket lining (18) and the main body (9) and, thereafter, a seam is made to fasten to one another the at least a pocket lining (18) and the main body (9), already fixed to one another, and the belt (8).
The step of fixing the at least a pocket lining (18) and the belt (8) to one another can include fastening the at least a pocket lining (18) and the belt (8) at the second end (8b) of the belt (8) in such a way that the at least a pocket lining (18) and the main body (9) are at least partially overlapped on one another.
According to this embodiment, the fourth seam line (19) can fix the belt (8), the second elastic strip (14), the at least a pocket lining (18) and the main body (9) to one another.
The fourth seam line (19) can be realised with an elasticated thread like the one described in the foregoing.
In this way, a like translation of the belt (8) is ensured at the first end (8a) and the second end (8b).
For greater clarity,
The at least a pocket lining (18) can have a degree of elasticity having a first value; the fabric (3) has a degree of elasticity having a second value; the first value is lower than the second value.
The method can further comprise steps, which can be carried out not necessarily following what is described in the foregoing of:
In a case in which the belt (8) and the at least a pocket lining (18) have a degree of elasticity value that are different to one another, the additional cloth (20) having the same degree of elasticity value as the belt (8) advantageously ensures a same extension of the first end (8a) and the second end (8b) of the belt (8).
The additional cloth (20) can be realised in the fabric (3).
In this case, the additional cloth (20) can be realised by cutting a fourth plurality of portions of fabric making a fourth plurality of cut lines having an inclined direction (I) with respect to the weft direction (T) and the warp direction (O) and each cut line of the third plurality of cut lines has an inclined direction (I) of an internal angle, with the weft direction (T) or the warp direction (O), comprised between 30° and 60° (not illustrated).
Alternatively, the additional cloth (20) can be realised in the second fabric (12).
The step of fixing the additional cloth (20), the main body (9) and the belt (8) to one another can include sewing the additional cloth (20), the main body (9) and the belt (8) to one another.
In detail, is a seam is made to fasten to one another the additional cloth (20) and the main body (9) and, thereafter, a seam is made to fasten to one another the additional cloth (20) and the main body (9), already fixed to one another, and the belt (8).
The step of fixing the at least a pocket lining (18) and the additional cloth (20) to one another can include sewing the at least a pocket lining (18) and the additional cloth (20) to one another.
For greater clarity,
Further, the seams, which fix the additional cloth (20) and the belt (8) to one another and the additional cloth (20) and the at least a pocket lining (17) to one another, are set away from one another so as to define a portion of additional cloth (22) between them, so that, during the extension of the belt (8), when the garment (1) is worn, the part of additional cloth (20) at the seam line which fixes the additional cloth (20) and the belt (8) to one another is drawn in extension.
