Patent Application
20240049806
The present invention relates to T-shirts, and more particularly to a T-shirt that has detachable parts and enables various graphic patterns to attach thereon.
T-shirts are popular especially in summer. Generally, T-shirts are printed with various decorative patterns. These patterns are generally integrated and cannot be changed flexibly. The sleeves of current T-shirts are fixed thereon so a T-shirt cannot be easily disassembled to turn into a vest. Also, the neckline is also integrated with the main body of current T-shirts. After repeated wearing, the neckline of the T-shirt might be worn and damaged and cannot be replaced. Therefore, there remains a need for a new and improved T-shirt to overcome the problems stated above.
In one aspect, a T-shirt that can be replaced with different patterns includes a T-shirt main body, a top portion of the T-shirt main body has a neckline, and an opening of the neckline is connected with a collar ring by a second zipper, and the second zipper has a second zipper puller. An edge of the collar is located outside the second zipper with a first extension edge for covering, so it is easy to be disassembled and replaced. A cuff on each side of the T-shirt main body has a first zipper to connect a sleeve, and one end of the first zipper has a first zipper puller. In order to easily disassemble the sleeve on each side, a cuff edge of the T-shirt main body has a second extending edge outside of the first zipper, so the T-shirt main body can be used as a vest when the sleeves are detached therefrom. A front surface of the T-shirt has a pattern patch, a back portion of the pattern patch has a first attaching side, and a front surface of the T-shirt main body has a second attaching side, so the pattern patch can be easily attached and detached from the front surface of the T-shirt main body.
In one embodiment, one end of the first extension edge is integrated with the T-shirt main body, and the size of the first extension edge matches the size of the second zipper to increase the aesthetic value.
Similarly, in another embodiment, one end of the second extension edge is integrated with the T-shirt main body, and the size of the second extension edge matches the size of the first zipper to increase the aesthetic value.
In a further embodiment, the pattern patch has a PE waterproof layer and a fluorescent layer, so the pattern patch can be waterproofed and generate fluorescent light.
In still a further embodiment, an inner portion of each sleeve has a flexible tightening belt that is sewed with the corresponding cuff of the T-shirt main body, so the cuff can be simultaneously tightened when the flexible tightening belt is tightened.
In still a further embodiment, an inner portion of each sleeve 6 has a flexible tightening belt that can be integrated and tightened with the corresponding cuff of the T-shirt main body, so the sleeve can be simultaneously tightened when the flexible tightening belt is tightened.
More specifically, a plurality of holes are formed on a periphery of the cuff, while a plurality of corresponding holes are formed on a periphery of the second extending edge. The flexible tightening belt has a first end that is inserted into a first corresponding hole on the periphery of the second extending edge, to a second hole of the periphery of the cuff, to a third corresponding hole on the periphery of the second extending edge, and then to a fourth hole of the periphery of the cuff, and so on. When the first end reaches a bottom portion of the cuff and second extending edge, it goes up through the holes and corresponding holes in the same manner, and when the first end reaches a top portion of the cuff and second extending edge, a knot can be made between the first end and a second end of the flexible tightening belt to tighten the sleeve to the T-shirt main body.
In another embodiment, a plurality of extending holes are formed on a periphery of the cuff, while a plurality of corresponding extending holes are formed on a periphery of the second extending edge. The flexible tightening belt has a first end that is inserted into a first extending hole on the periphery of the second extending edge, to a second corresponding extending hole of the periphery of the cuff, to a third extending hole on the periphery of the second extending edge, and then to a fourth corresponding extending hole of the periphery of the cuff, and so on. When the first end reaches a bottom portion of the cuff and second extending edge, it goes up through the extending holes and corresponding extending holes in the same manner, and when the first end reaches a top portion of the cuff and second extending edge, a knot can be made between the first end and a second end of the flexible tightening belt to tighten the sleeve to the T-shirt main body.
In still another embodiment, a plurality of holes are formed on a periphery of the cuff, while a plurality of corresponding holes are formed on a periphery of the second extending edge, and each hole on the cuff is aligned with a corresponding hole on the periphery of the second extending edge. A first end of the tightening unit is configured to insert into each hole and corresponding hole, and finally to make a knot with a second end to tighten the sleeve to the T-shirt main body.
Comparing with conventional T-shirts, the present invention is advantageous because each sleeve is connected with the T-shirt main body through the first zipper, so each sleeve can be easily and flexibly detached or attached to the T-shirt main body. Also, the T-shirt main body can be used as a vest when the sleeves are detached therefrom. Furthermore, the pattern patch can be detached and attached to the T-shirt main body through the first attaching side and the second attaching side, so the pattern patch can be easily replaced as well. In addition, the collar ring is connected to the T-shirt main body through the second zipper. When the collar ring has been worn, it can also be easily replaced.
