Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for processing pleated products such as skirts, dresses, blouses, and slacks.

[Conventional technology]

A processing method that creates creases in fabric is known, as typified by skirts. For example, skirts with creases are called flare skirts, geared skirts, pleated skirts, etc., and the process of adding these kinds of creases to skirts, dresses, blouses, slacks, etc.
It is collectively called pleat processing.

Pleating creates a moderate amount of shading on the garment, which has the advantage of increasing the visual effect. Furthermore, the pleat process adds flexibility to the garment, which eliminates the feeling of being cramped even when wearing clothing that does not have much room in the dimensions.
It also has the advantage of ensuring sufficient activity.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] Pleated products such as pleated skirts, dresses, blouses, and slacks are
Conventionally, it is usually processed as follows.

(1) First, cut the fabric into parts.

(2) Then, the parts that require pleating are pleated using a pleating machine.

(3) Finally, the pleated parts are sewn using a sewing machine to create a pleated product.

As described above, in the conventional processing method, the fabric is made into parts, which are pleated, and then sewn to create a pleated product.

Here, (1) and (2) may be reversed. That is, after the fabric is pleated, the pleated fabric may be cut into parts and then sewn. Even in this case, sewing is still performed after pleating.

In addition, processing such as attaching pockets and buttons, etc.
It goes without saying that this is done in the sewing process.

However, since the pleated folds tend to return to their original flat shape, the folds must be pressed while sewing, making it difficult to sew quickly. Furthermore, since the overlapping folds of the fabric are sewn, a large number of fabrics must be sewn at the same time, making it difficult to sew with a sewing machine. Furthermore, due to such restrictions on sewing, the design is also limited.

Furthermore, although pleats add flexibility to the fabric, the top or bottom edges of the folds are sewn, which impairs flexibility at the top and bottom edges of the folds, which is an advantage of pleated products. is not fully utilized.

The object of the present invention is to provide a method for processing pleated products that can be designed without restrictions on sewing and that does not impair flexibility.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve this object, according to the present invention, pleating is performed not before sewing but after sewing. In other words, according to an embodiment of the present invention, fabric is cut into parts, the parts are sewn to form a desired external shape, and then pleat processing is applied to the entire part while the parts are folded, thereby processing the pleated product. are doing.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

According to the processing method of this invention, first, the fabric is cut into parts. For example, the processing method according to the present invention will be illustrated for a T-shirt 10 as shown in FIG. Assuming that there are two parts, a front body and a back body, to avoid complication, these parts 12F and 12B are first cut from fabric, and the edges of the parts are sewn with a sewing machine, as shown in Figure 1A. Shape into desired shape. After that, pleating may be performed immediately, but in the embodiment, pleating is performed after both sleeves are folded in. In other words, the right part 14R including the right sleeve,
Fold it to the front along the fold line 16 shown by a dashed line, and fold the left portion 14L to the back. Then, the T-shirt 10 assumes the shape shown in FIG. 1B. Either that or the T-shirt 10 is run through a pleating machine and pleated as desired. In the example, as shown in FIG. 1C, the pleated product is finished by performing pleating to form folds in the vertical direction. After that, the right part 14R and left part 14L, which were folded into the front or back,
When unfolded, a T-shirt 1 as shown in Figure 1D
0 is obtained.

In this way, in this invention, the parts (front body, back body) 12F and 12B are sewn before pleating, so there is no need to consider the restoring force of the fabric, and there is no need to press the creases while sewing. good.
Therefore, sewing can be done quickly. In addition, since the fabric is not pleated, there is less overlap between the fabrics and the number of fabrics to be sewn at the same time is also small. Therefore, sewing with a sewing machine can be performed without difficulty.

Furthermore, since pleats are applied after sewing,
There is no risk that the flexibility, which is a feature of pleating, will be impaired by sewing.

Furthermore, since there are no restrictions on sewing, it is possible to design freely. In particular, since the pleating process can be performed after properly folding, by changing the folding shape, it is possible to create designs with different pleat directions for each part, as clearly seen in Figure 1D. However, it allows for a wide variety of designs with different visual effects. Furthermore, by designing different pleat directions for each part, it is possible to design products that appear to have different patterns even when using fabrics with the same pattern. Moreover, along the fold line 16, a unique aesthetic impression of symmetrical pleating is created. Thus, according to the present invention, pleated products with high added value can be easily obtained.

Furthermore, compared to the conventional method in which pleating is performed for each part, the present invention allows pleating to be performed all at once. Therefore, the pleating process is simplified, the pleating time is shortened, and the pleating cost is reduced. in this way,
In this method, although a product with a high additive content is obtained, production costs are reduced and a good product can be provided at a low price.

As shown in FIG. 1C, since the direction of the pleats is constant before unfolding, folding along the pleats (folds) from left to right can be done quite naturally, for example, as shown by the arrow. Since this folding is performed along the pleats rather than intersecting them, there is no risk of wrinkles in the pleated product. Therefore, after storing and carrying,
There is no need to iron out wrinkles.

In other words, according to the present invention, a pleated product that can be folded compactly, is easy to store and carry, and does not require ironing can be obtained. In particular, it can be rolled along the pleats and carried in a tube like a scroll, making it safe and easy to carry even on long trips.

Even if the flexibility of a pleated product is lost due to wear, it can be pleated and pleated again just like taking it for cleaning, and the highly flexible pleated product can be easily restored. .

FIG. 2 shows an example of processing the pleated blouse 20. For example, the left and right sleeves 21R, 21L, the left and right front bodies 22FL, 22FR, and a piece of back body 22B are cut from fabric, and the parts are sewn with a sewing machine to form the desired external shape shown in Figure 2A. do. Then, the left and right front bodies 22FL, 22FR, the left and right ends of the lower part of the back body 22B, and the left and right sleeves 21R, 21L.
Fold it between the front body and the back body along the fold line 26 (see Fig. 2B). Here, the front body 2
It may be folded not between the 2F and the back body 22B, but on the front and back sides. Then, pleat it vertically (see Figure 2C) and unfold it, as shown in Figure 2D.
A blouse 20 with a mixture of various pleats in different directions is obtained as shown in FIG.

Furthermore, an example of processing the pleated skirt 30 is shown in FIG. 3. The upper and lower edges of a piece of fan-shaped part (skirt material) 32 are folded inward and sewn, and the left and right edges are sewn and connected. to form the outer shape (see Fig. 3A). Then, part 32a of the skirt material is folded inward from the front and back sides (see FIG. 3B), and pleats are applied to the bias as shown in FIG. 3C. Then, a pleated skirt 30 having a design as shown in FIG. 3D is obtained.

Note that when sewing the parts before pleating, the pockets may be sewn together with other parts, or after pleating, only the pockets may be sewn. However, it is preferable to attach the buttons after pleating to prevent damage to the buttons and the blades of the pleating machine.

In FIG. 2D and FIG. 3D, reference numerals 25,
35 shows the buttons and pockets sewn after pleating.

The above-mentioned embodiments are for illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way, and any modifications, modifications, etc. made within the technical scope of the present invention are also included in the present invention. Needless to say.

For example, although the present invention has been described with respect to T-shirts, blouses, and skirts, the present invention is not limited thereto, and can be broadly implemented on other pleated products such as slacks, dresses, cocktail dresses, and the like. Further, the setting of the crease line in the embodiment is just an example, and it goes without saying that the crease line during pleating can be set arbitrarily.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the pleated product processing method of the present invention, the parts are sewn before pleating, so there is no need to consider the restoring force of the fabric, and there is no need to press the creases while sewing. good.

Therefore, sewing can be done quickly. Furthermore, since the fabric is not pleated, the number of pieces of fabric to be sewn at the same time is small, and sewing with a sewing machine can be performed without difficulty.

Furthermore, since pleats are applied after sewing,
There is no risk that the flexibility, which is a feature of pleating, will be impaired by sewing.

Furthermore, since there are no restrictions on sewing, it is possible to design freely. In particular, since the pleat process can be performed after appropriately folding the fabric, by changing the folding shape, it is possible to create a wide variety of designs with different visual effects even with the same external shape. Furthermore, even if the fabric has the same pattern, it is possible to design products that appear to have different patterns. This creates a unique aesthetic impression with pleats symmetrical along the fold line. in this way,
According to this invention, pleated products with high added value can be easily obtained.

Furthermore, since pleating is performed after sewing, the pleating process is simplified, pleating time is shortened, and pleating costs are reduced.
In addition, according to the present invention, although a product with a high additive content can be obtained, the production cost is reduced, and a good product can be provided at a low price.

Furthermore, since the direction of the pleats is constant before unfolding, folding along the pleats can be done quite naturally. This folding can be done without creating wrinkles and can be folded compactly, making it easy to store and carry.
You can obtain pleated products without ironing.

Even if the flexibility of the pleated product is lost due to wear, the pleated product can be easily restored to its high flexibility by applying the pleat process again.
