The present invention relates to a garment, especially to a trench coat that prevents rainwater from entering through a neckline.
A conventional double-breasted trench coat looks chic and elegant in style. Although the conventional double-breasted trench coat can basically block wind and rain, few or almost no people would wear the conventional trench coat when riding a motorcycle on rainy days. The reasons are as follows:
1. Insufficient waterproof function: When the conventional trench coat is worn by a user, since only outer edges of a left front piece and a right front piece of the conventional trench coat overlap, and the overlapping portion is fixed by only several rows of buttons and buttonholes, multiple gaps are formed between the left and right front pieces and therefore wind pressure during riding pushes rainwater to enter the conventional trench coat through the gaps.
2. The waterproof function of a collar is insufficient: Since the collar of the conventional trench coat is suit-typed, the collar can only be turned to stand up to block the rain. However, an opening formed by a neckline of the collar still exists between the collar and the user's neck. Therefore, the wind pressure during riding pushes rainwater to enter the conventional trench coat through the opening between the collar and the user's neck.
With reference to
Each of left and right sides of the coat body 50 forms a sleeve connecting opening. An outer edge of each of the left-front piece 52 and the right-front piece 53 extends outward by an appropriate length to allow the two outer edges to overlap, and two rows of multiple buttons 531 and buttonholes 521, which are adapted to buckle each other, are mounted on the two outer edges where the left-front piece 52 and the right-front piece 53 overlap.
Two sleeves are respectively mounted on the sleeve connecting openings of the left and right sides of the coat body 50. A first collar 501 is mounted around the neckline opening 500 of the coat body 50, and a bottom edge of the first collar 501 is connected to an annular edge defined around the neckline opening 500.
A left covering piece 54 is mounted on an inner surface of the left-front piece 52, and a left edge of the left covering piece 54 is fixed on the inner surface of the left-front piece 52.
A right covering piece 55 is mounted on an inner surface of the right-front piece 53, and a right edge of the right covering piece 55 is fixed on the inner surface of the right-front piece 53.
A second collar 56 is located in an inner side of the first collar 501, and the first collar 501 surrounds the second collar 56. A left part of a bottom edge of the second collar 56 is connected to a top edge of the left covering piece 54, and a right part of the bottom edge of the second collar 56 is connected to a top edge of the right covering piece 55. The rest part of the bottom edge of the second collar 56, which is between the left part and the right part and is also between the left covering piece 54 and the right covering piece 55, is connected to the edge defined around the neckline opening 500.
At least one buckling assembly 57 is mounted on a right edge of the left covering piece 54 and a left edge of the right covering piece 55, thereby allowing the left covering piece 54 and the right covering piece 55 to buckle each other. The buckling assembly 57 can be extended up to a left side and a right side of the second collar 56 as needed in order to buckle the left and the right sides of the second collar 56 together to enhance neck protection for the user.
Thus, the second collar 56, the left covering piece 54, and the right covering piece 55 form a water-blocking curtain in the conventional double-breasted trench coat. The water-blocking curtain is cleverly designed as wearing a jacket inside the conventional trench coat, thereby matching the appearance without weirdness. The water-blocking curtain can completely block the rainwater which might leak into the conventional trench coat through the opening between the first collar 501 and the user's neck, or through the gaps between the overlapped left-front piece 52 and right-front piece 53, preventing the rainwater from entering the conventional double-breasted trench coat, and enhancing its rain-proof effect.
The conventional trench coat as described above has the following disadvantages:
1. The production process is complicated and troublesome: While fixing the first collar 501 and the second collar 56 to the edge defined around the neckline opening 500, the left part and the right part of the bottom edge of the second collar 56 have to be respectively fixed to the top edges of the left covering piece 54 and the right covering piece 55, and the left covering piece 54 and the right covering piece 55 further have to be respectively fixed to the left-front piece 52 and the right-front piece 53. Under those production procedures, time consumption and labor cost are inevitably high, thereby making the total cost unreducible.
2. A neck circumference of the second collar 56 cannot be adjusted: Since a perimeter of the neck differs from person to person and thicknesses of collars of winter and summer clothes are also different, the neck circumference of the second collar 56 is forced to be made to fit a thicker neck in order to apply to every person. Thus, when a user has a thinner neck, the rainwater will leak into the conventional trench coat through the gap between the user's neck and the second collar 56.
3. In the conventional trench coat, the second collar 56, the left covering piece 54, and the right covering piece 55 are capable of being hidden inside the coat body 50. That is, the second collar 56 can be folded downward into the coat body 50 (placed on left and right shoulders and below a nape of the user), and the left covering piece 54 can be folded and hidden behind the left-front piece 52, and the right covering piece 55 can be folded and hidden behind the right-front piece 53.
However, the second collar 56 is a dimensional-cut structure (similar to a circular tube) and the second collar 56 is even connected to the left covering piece 54 and the right covering piece 55, so it is difficult to completely fold the second collar 56 and to flatly place the second collar 56 on the left and right shoulders and below the nape. Therefore, after the second collar 56 is folded and hidden behind the coat body 50, the folded second collar 56 will cause an unevenness on the appearance of the coat body 50 at the left and right shoulders and the nape.
4. It is difficult for the user to fold the second collar 56 while wearing the conventional trench coat.
To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides a trench coat to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
The main objective of the present invention is to provide a trench coat that has a left covering piece and a right covering piece respectively connected to a left neck covering piece and a right neck covering piece. Multiple fixing units are mounted between the left and right neck covering pieces and an inner surface of a collar, the multiple fixing units being capable of buckling each other. Thus, the neck circumference is adjustable to fit the user's neck size, so that no gap is formed between the trench coat and the user's neck, thereby preventing air and rainwater from permeating into the trench coat.
The trench coat has a coat body and a cover. The coat body has a main body, two sleeves, a collar, at least two left fixing units, and at least two right fixing units. The main body has a back piece, a left-front piece, a right-front piece, and a first buckling assembly. The back piece has a left side and a right side. The left-front piece has a first side connected to the left side of the back piece, and a second side being opposite to the first side of the left-front piece. The right-front piece has a first side connected to the right side of the back piece, and a second side being opposite to the first side of the right-front piece. The second side of the left-front piece is capable of overlapping with the second side of the right-front piece. The first buckling assembly is mounted to both the second side of the left-front piece and the second side of the right-front piece. The two sleeves are respectively mounted on two sides of the main body and communicating with an inner space of the main body. The collar is mounted on a top side of the main body. At least two left fixing units are mounted on an inner surface of the collar and correspond in position to the left-front piece. At least two right fixing units are mounted on the inner surface of the collar and correspond in position to the right-front piece. The cover has a left covering piece, a right covering piece, a second buckling assembly, a left neck covering piece, at least one left outer fixing unit, a right neck covering piece, and at least one right outer fixing unit. The left covering piece has a left edge connected to an inner surface of the left-front piece and a left edge. The right covering piece has a right edge connected to an inner surface of the right-front piece and a right buckling edge. A side of the second buckling assembly is connected to the left buckling edge, and another side of the second buckling assembly is connected to the right buckling edge. The left neck covering piece is mounted on a top side of the left covering piece. The at least one left outer fixing unit is mounted on an outer surface of the left neck covering piece and corresponds in position to the at least two left fixing units. The at least one left outer fixing unit detachably buckles the at least two left fixing units. The right neck covering piece is mounted on a top side of the right covering piece. The at least one right outer fixing unit is mounted on an outer surface of the right neck covering piece and corresponds in position to the at least two right fixing units. The at least one right outer fixing unit detachably buckles the at least two right fixing units.
The trench coat of the present invention has advantages as follows:
1. With the left, right neck covering pieces and the left, right covering pieces, a waterproof curtain is formed inside the trench coat. The waterproof curtain can completely block the rain water, which leaks through the collar or the gaps between the overlapped left-front piece and right-front piece, from entering the trench coat, thereby enhancing the rainproof function. Additionally, the structure of the left, right neck covering pieces and the left, right covering pieces is simplified, thereby making the process of folding the waterproof curtain easier and solving the problem of the conventional trench coat.
2. With one fixing unit of each of the left, right neck covering pieces selectively buckles two fixing units on each of the left, right inner surfaces of the collar, the neck circumference of the collar is adjustable. The aforementioned adjusting structure guarantees a flat and symmetrical appearance on the neckline and the chest of the user, thereby giving an aesthetically appealing appearance, and the adjusting structure further ensures the adjustment range is apportioned by both left and right sides. In addition, the adjusting structure can be hidden inside the collar, thereby offering an adjusting function that is not directly visible from the appearance.
3. Since the left fixing segment of the left neck covering piece is fixed to the inner surface of the collar and forms a fixing line, and the right fixing segment of the right neck covering piece is fixed to the inner surface of the collar and forms another fixing line, the rainwater can be completely blocked from entering the coat body.
4. In the present invention, the water-blocking curtain formed inside the coat body is cleverly designed resembling a jacket worn inside the trench coat, thereby matching the appearance without weirdness.
5. In the present invention, the structure of the trench coat and the production process of the same are both simplified, thereby reducing costs and enhancing the waterproof function.
Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

The cover 20 has a left covering piece 21, a right covering piece 22, and a second buckling assembly 23.
The left covering piece 21 has a left edge 210 connected to an inner surface of the left-front piece 112 and a left buckling edge. The right covering piece 22 has a right edge 220 connected to an inner surface of the right-front piece 113 and a right buckling edge. The left edge 210 and the right edge 220 offer flipping functions to the left covering piece 21 and the right covering piece 22. A side of the second buckling assembly 23 is connected to the left buckling edge of the left covering piece 21, and another side of the second buckling assembly 23 is connected to the right buckling edge of the right covering piece 22. The second buckling assembly 23 is located between the left covering piece 21 and the right covering piece 22.
In addition, the left edge 210 of the left covering piece 21 can be detachably mounted on the inner surface of the left-front piece 112 by a zipper, and the right edge 220 of the right covering piece 22 can be detachably mounted on the inner surface of the right-front piece 113 by a zipper. By this, the left covering piece 21 and the right covering piece 22 can be detached from the main body 11 when needed.
With reference to
When needed, the left edge 210 of the left covering piece 21 can also be fixed to an object, which is originally fixed on the inner surface of the left-front piece 112, to indirectly fix the left covering piece 21 on the inner surface of the left-front piece 112. The right edge 220 of the right covering piece 22 can also be fixed to an object, which is originally fixed on the inner surface of the right-front piece 113, to indirectly fix the right covering piece 22 on the inner surface of the right-front piece 113. The object can be a liner, an inner sheet, a tarpaulin, or a folded sheet. With this, the left-front piece 112 and the right-front piece 113 have clear outer surfaces without any sewing lines, thereby keeping an aesthetically appealing appearance.
A left neck covering piece 211 is mounted on a top side of the left covering piece 21.
A right neck covering piece 221 is mounted on a top side of the right covering piece 22.

Depending on the thickness of each user's neck, a user can bend the left neck covering piece 211 to buckle the second left fixing unit 32 and the first left fixing unit 31, and bend the right neck covering piece 221 to buckle the second right fixing unit 34 and the first right fixing unit 33. Therefore, the neck circumference can be further adjusted.
The amounts of the first left fixing unit 31, the first right fixing unit 33, the second left fixing unit 32, and the second right fixing unit 34 are changeable as needed.
Further, with reference to
With further reference to
The aforementioned first left connecting unit 116, first right connecting unit 117, second left connecting unit 215, and second right connecting unit 225 can also be replaced by hook-and-loop fasteners, buckles, or any fastening assemblies.
With reference to
By buckling the second right connecting unit 225 to the first right connecting unit 117, and by buckling the second left connecting unit 215 to the first left connecting unit 116, the left neck covering piece 211, the left covering piece 21, the right neck covering piece 221, and the right covering piece 22 are hidden inside the main body 11 without exposure, thereby offering a different wearing style. In other words, the trench coat of the present invention offers two wearing styles.
Furthermore, the left neck covering piece 211 can also be formed by the left covering piece 21 extending upward, and the right neck covering piece 221 can also be formed by the right covering piece 22 extending upward. In other words, the left neck covering piece 211 and the left covering piece 21 can also be formed integrally, and the right neck covering piece 221 and the right covering piece 22 can also be formed integrally, thereby simplifying the manufacture.
The widths of the left covering piece 21 and the right covering piece 22 can be implemented the same or different, and the widths of the left neck covering piece 211 and the right neck covering piece 221 can also be implemented the same or different. For example, the left covering piece 21 is wider and the right covering piece 22 is narrower, or the right covering piece 22 is wider and the left covering piece 21 is narrower. The widths of the left covering piece 21 and the right covering piece 22 are correlated to each other, and the widths of the left neck covering piece 211 and the right neck covering piece 221 are correlated to each other. In other words, the second buckling assembly 23 is not necessarily to be located exactly in the middle, but can be located relatively on the left or on the right to avoid aligning to the front opening of the collar 13, thereby further preventing rainwater from permeating. Additionally, the difference between the two widths of the left covering piece 21 and the right covering piece 22 can be implemented to the maximum as needed.
The present invention is adapted to be applied to an overcoat, a three-quarter coat, a jacket, or any other wind coats or rain coats.
The present invention can be designed for males and females. For example, for males, the left-front piece 112 is located outside and the right-front piece 113 is located inside when overlapping, and for females, the left-front piece 112 is located inside and the right-front piece 113 is located outside when overlapping.
Two bottom ends of the left-front piece 112, and the right-front piece 113 can be mounted with a rainproof shoe cover, or a storage bag for the rainproof shoes cover.
Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and features of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only. Changes may be made in the details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
