Definitions

• the present invention relates to a method for making shoulder portions and the like for cloth articles, bath costumes and the like, and also relates to the thus made shoulders .
• shoulder portions and the like for cloth articles, bath costumes and the like, it is at present necessary to use strip or band elements which do not have the same aesthetic aspect of the fabric making the cloth article on which the shoulder strips or bands are applied.
• Another prior solution which allows to at least partially overcome that problem, provides to make, by fabric strips taken from the same cloth article fabric, shoulder portions by performing a plurality of seaming operations, which practically provide a tubular fabric.
• the aim of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned problem, by providing a method for making shoulder portions and the like for cloth articles,, bath costumes and the like, allowing to make reinforced shoulders, by using the same fabric forming the cloth article to which the shoulder portions would be applied, without performing any seaming operations .
• a main object of the present invention is to provide such a method allowing to make any desired types of shoulder patterns, thereby providing shoulder portions having an optimum finishing quality.
• Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a method which is adapted to provide a lot of different types of shoulder portions which are very reliable in operation and of long duration.
• Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a method allowing to make shoulder portions for cloth articles, bath costumes and the like, which can be easily made starting from easily commercially available elements and materials.
• a method for making shoulder portions and the like for cloth articles, bath costumes and the like characterized in that said method comprises the step of providing a fabric piece, impregnating or coupling or spreading said fabric piece with a plastic material, and cutting from said impregnated or coupled fabric piece strips forming shoulder portions to be applied to said cloth article, bath costume and the like.
• Figure 1 is a schematic view showing the fabric material
• Figure 2 shows the fabric material as impregnated or coupled with a plastic material
• Figure 3 shows strips cut from the impregnated and/or coupled fabric material
• Figure 4 shows a possible pattern or configuration of a shoulder
• Figure 5 shows a cloth article comprising the shoulders according to the invention
• Figure 6 shows the fabric material used for making the shoulders, which is layered so as to present two fabric outer layers and a fabric middle layer to which is coupled or spread upon a resin;
• Figure 7 shows a shoulder portion formed by three layers. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
• the method for making shoulder portions and the like for cloth articles, bath costumes and the like comprises the step of providing a fabric piece 1, or fabric portion, which is directly taken from the fabric piece to make the cloth article, bath costume or the like.
• the fabric piece or portion 1 is coupled with or impregnated by a plastic material or a synthetic resin, preferably comprising an optically transparent or clear polyurethane resin, embedding the fabric material to provide a set thickness, thereby providing a soft and compact layer, having high surface gloss and lustre properties .
• a plurality of strips 3 are cut therefrom, which strips, owing to the provision of said plastic material layer or film 2 , will be perfectly finished at their edges, and will have sufficient softness properties .
• the shoulders 3 can be coupled to conventional fitting such as bridge elements, length adjusters and the like, generally indicated by the reference number 4.
• the method according to the present invention comprises the step of making a shoulder by using a multiple - layer coupled material, comprising two fabric layers 1 and 1' and a synthetic resin middle layer 2, which are applied by a coupling or spreading or impregnating method.
• the invention provides a method for easily making shoulders which can be easily coupled to any desired cloth articles or bath costumes, while always providing very good aesthetic effects.
• the used materials, as well as the contingent size and shapes can be any, depending on requirements.
