Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
THE TECHNICAL FIELD TO WHICH THE INVENTION BELONGS [0001] The present invention relates to a structure for forming and maintaining the three-dimensional shape of clothing. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART [0002] Some lingerie has shape-memory wire so as to stabilize the shape of the lingerie or to adjust the form of one's body. Construction stabilizing or keeping shapes is known not only in the field of lingerie but also clothing and accessory. [0003] For example, with regard to an art described in the Japanese Patent Laid Open Gazette 2000-314023, the clothing has a neck part covers ears and the back of head, the neck part is inserted shape-memory alloy wires or metal wires so as to keep the neck part standing. [0004] With regard to an art described in the Japanese Utility Model 3089123, wires of shape memory alloy or metal wires are attached to the inside of a muffler as a shape retention member. Accordingly, the three-dimensional shape of the muffler can be changed freely and the shape can be kept, thereby improving the value of design. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [Problems to Be Solved by the Invention] [0005] Especially, with regard to clothing formed from relative soft material such as knit, it is difficult to form the three-dimensional shape of the clothing and keep the shape while maintaining the feeling of the material. For example, with regard to the clothing formed from relative soft material such as knit, the neck can be turned up or rolled, but it is difficult to keep the turned or rolled shape because of the characteristic of the material. [0006] Then, the present invention suggests construction of shape retentive clothing whose three-dimensional shape can be changed freely and kept even if the clothing is constructed by soft material such as knit. [Means for Solving the Problems] [0007] The above-mentioned problems are solved by the following means according to the present invention. [0008] As specified in claim 1, a member which is transformable and maintainable its shape is attached to the clothing. [0009] As specified in claim 2, a member which is transformable and maintainable its shape is attached to a body, a sleeve, a cuff, a neck or a pocket of the clothing. [0010] As specified in claim 3, a resin wire and/or a ceramic wire are used as the member transformable and maintainable its shape. [0011] As specified in claim 4, an end of the resin wire or the ceramic wire is turned up and covered by a cylindrical member. [Effect of the Invention] [0012] The present invention constructed as the above brings the following effects. [0013] According to claim 1, the clothing can be formed three-dimensionally and kept in the shape even if the clothing is constructed by soft cloth which is hardly to retain its shape. When the clothing gets out of shape once, the clothing can be formed again easily so as to form fine state. [0014] According to claim 2, the sleeve may be formed three-dimensionally to be rolled up and the shape of the sleeve can be maintained even if the clothing is constructed by soft cloth which is hardly to retain its shape. [0015] According to claim 3, the ceramic wire does not rust, is not spoiled by washing, and are bendable. Furthermore, the ceramic wire hardly becomes brittle even if the wires are bended repetitively. Accordingly, the ceramic wire is more advantageous than metal wire. [0016] According to claim 4, the end of wire attached to the clothing is prevented from piercing cloth and projecting. THE BEST MODE OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION [0017] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be explained. Continue reading about Clothing with shape retainability...
