Description
PRIORITY
[0001] This application claims priority to Taiwan Patent
Application No. 103201665 filed on Jan. 27, 2014, which is herein
incorporated by reference entirely.
FIELD
[0002] The present invention relates to a kind of clothes, and more
particularly, to a paired wearing structure.
BACKGROUND
[0003] Clothes storage has always been a very important issue in
family life, and storing clothes properly can not only bring
convenience to the life, but also help people to form a good habit
in their lives. A problem that occurs the most often in clothes
storage is that, when paired wearing structures such as socks,
gloves, sleeves or the like are washed together with other
large-sized clothes in a washing machine, they may become tangled
with the large-sized clothes to make it very inconvenient for the
user to pick the paired wearing structures out for air-drying.
Therefore, the user will choose to put the paired wearing
structures together into a laundry bag before putting them into the
washing machine so that the paired wearing structures are kept
separated from the large-sized clothes.
[0004] However, although the storage manner of putting the paired
wearing structures together into a laundry bag can effectively
classify the clothes, it is very obvious that a plurality of paired
wearing structures having different sizes but the same or similar
colors or styles still need to be further classified before being
put into the laundry bag. For example, if socks having the same
color but different sizes, or socks having the same color but
different styles are not classified properly before being washed, a
plurality of combination possibilities of the socks may appear
during the storage, which makes it inconvenient to pick them out
for drying or for classification.
[0005] Therefore, using laundry bags to gather the paired wearing
structures together cannot effectively solve the storage problem
yet.
[0006] Accordingly, an need exists in the art to provide a solution
which can make improvements on the aforesaid drawbacks.
SUMMARY
[0007] An objective of the present invention includes providing a
paired wearing structure, which has an improved structure that can
make improvements on the drawbacks of the aforesaid storage manner
and can be widely applied to various kinds of paired wearing
structures.
[0008] To achieve the aforesaid objective, a paired wearing
structure according to certain embodiments of the present invention
may include: a first wearing part and a second wearing part,
wherein the first wearing part has a first opening portion and a
first covering portion, and the second wearing part has a second
opening portion and a second covering portion; and a first
connector and a second connector, wherein the first connector is
disposed on the first wearing part and the second connector is
disposed on the second wearing part, and the first wearing part is
combined with the second wearing part by attaching the first
connector with the second connector.
[0009] The detailed technology and preferred embodiments
implemented for the subject invention are described in the
following paragraphs accompanying the appended drawings for people
skilled in this field to well appreciate the features of the
claimed invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] In the following descriptions, the present invention will be
explained with reference to various exemplary embodiments.
Nevertheless, these embodiments are not intended to limit the
present invention to any specific example, environment,
application, or particular implementation described herein.
Therefore, descriptions of these example embodiments are only
provided for purpose of illustration rather than to limit the
present invention.
[0023] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2a together, there are shown
schematic views illustrating a first embodiment of a paired wearing
structure (before combination) according to the present
invention.
[0024] In the first embodiment, a paired wearing structure 1 is
proposed. The paired wearing structure 1 may be made of leather,
fabric fibers, latex or the like materials, and may be such
structures as a sock set, a glove set, a sleeve set or the like
that people can wear in pairs. A first wearing part 10 and a second
wearing part 20 may be identical to each other in shape.
[0025] The paired wearing structure 1 may comprise the first
wearing part 10 and the second wearing part 20. The first wearing
part 10 has a first opening portion 11 and a first covering portion
12, and the second wearing part 20 has a second opening portion 21
and a second covering portion 22. The paired wearing structure 1
may further comprise a first connector 30 and a second connector
40. The first connector 30 is disposed on the first wearing part 10
and the second connector 40 is disposed on the second wearing part
20. The first wearing part 10 is combined with the second wearing
part 20 (as shown in FIG. 3) by attaching the first connector 30
with the second connector 40. Further features of related
components will be sequentially described as follows.
[0026] The first opening portion 11 and the first covering portion
12 are connected with each other and may be formed of a same
material; and similarly, the second opening portion 21 and the
second covering portion 22 are connected with each other and may be
formed of a same material.
[0027] The first connector 30 is disposed on the first wearing part
10, and the second connector 40 is disposed on the second wearing
part 20. The first wearing part 10 may be combined with the second
wearing part 20 by correspondingly fixing the first connector 30
and the second connector 40 to any positions of the first wearing
part 10 and the second wearing part 20 respectively through sewing,
bonding or the like. Preferably, the first connector 30 is disposed
on the first opening portion 11, and the second connector 40 is
disposed on the second opening portion 21.
[0028] The first connector 30 may comprise a button 31, which may
be a common button with one or more sewing holes, and may be made
of metal, plastic, a composite material or the like.
[0029] The second connector may comprise a button fastener 41,
which may be a slit 411 or an elastic rubber ring (not shown); and
the shape of the button fastener 41 allows it to be adequately
connected with the button 31, i.e., the button fastener covers or
hitches the button 31.
[0030] Then, when the first wearing part 10 and the second wearing
part 20 are not being worn by a user, they can be combined together
by means of the first connector 30 and the second connector 40 and
will not be separated easily. For example, this embodiment can
provide this efficacy in the following scenario. For example, when
there are a plurality of pairs of socks having different sizes but
the same color or similar styles to be washed, the user can firstly
combine the socks in pairs before putting them into the washing
machine for washing; and after the washing is completed, it may
become quicker for the user to classify the paired wearing
structures 1 for air-drying and storage. Similarly, after having
taken off the used paired wearing structure 1, the user may combine
the paired wearing structure 1 firstly before putting it into a
laundry basket, which can ease the burden of a washer again.
[0031] With the paired wearing structure according to the first
embodiment of the present invention having been described above, a
paired wearing structure according to a second embodiment of the
present invention will be described next. Referring to FIG. 2b,
there is shown a schematic view illustrating the paired wearing
structure (before combination) of the second embodiment.
[0032] In the second embodiment, a paired wearing structure 2 is
similar to the paired wearing structure 1 of the first embodiment,
but differs in that: the first connector 30 further comprises a
protection layer 50, which may also be fixed to the first wearing
part 10 through sewing, bonding or the like, and the button 31 is
connected with the first wearing part 10 by being disposed on the
protection layer 50. The protection layer 50 may be made of fabric
or plastic, and may have a rectangular or irregular shape.
[0033] The protection layer 50 is disposed for the following
purpose: the paired wearing structure 1 may be subjected to pulling
forces from other clothes during the washing process in the washing
machine, and directly disposing the button 31 on the protection
layer 50 can prevent the first wearing part 10 from being directly
damaged when an excessive pulling force is generated; and
furthermore, after the protection layer 50 is fixed to the first
wearing part 10 through sewing or bonding, the residual thread and
the residual adhesive generated due to the sewing or bonding
process can also be concealed by the protection layer 50 so that
the aesthetic appearance of the first wearing part 10 will not be
affected.
[0034] The second connecting part 40 may also comprise another
protection layer (not shown) so that the button fastener 41 can be
firstly disposed on the protection layer before being disposed on
the second wearing part 20.
[0035] With the paired wearing structure according to the second
embodiment of the present invention having been described above, a
paired wearing structure according to a third embodiment of the
present invention will be described next. Referring to FIG. 4 and
FIG. 5a, there are shown a schematic view and a partial
cross-sectional view of a paired wearing structure 3 according to
the third embodiment respectively.
[0036] The paired wearing structure 3 of the third embodiment is
similar to the paired wearing structure 1 of the first embodiment,
but differs it in that: the first connector 30 comprises a magnetic
component 32 and the second connector 40 comprises a magnetisable
component 42 so that the first connector 30 and the second
connector 40 can be combined with each other through the magnetic
force therebetween, which will be further described as follows.
[0037] Referring to FIG. 5a, the magnetic component 32 may comprise
a supporting seat 321 and a magnet 322. The supporting seat 321 is
disposed on the first wearing part 10, and may be fixed to the
first wearing part 10 through sewing, bonding or the like.
[0038] The supporting seat 321 is a block-shaped material with a
certain thickness, and has a recess 3211 on a surface thereof. The
recess 3211 forms an accommodating space adapted to accommodate the
magnet 322. The magnet 322 may be fixed inside the recess 3211
through a tight fit, bonding or the like, and will not get loose
easily. Furthermore, the supporting seat 321 may be made of a soft
rubber, a plastic mat, an elastic metal sheet or the like so that
the first wearing part 10 combined with the supporting seat 321 can
be more closely attached to the skin without causing discomfort to
the user who wears the first wearing part 10.
[0039] The magnetic component 32 may further comprise a protection
film 323 disposed in the supporting seat 321 and covering the
magnet 322. The protection film 323 may have water-proofing and
dust-isolating functions, and may be made of a thin material such
as a plastic sheet, a rubber sheet or leather or made of a
film-plated metal material. Furthermore, the thickness of the
protection film 323 will not affect the magnetic force of the
magnet 322.
[0040] The second connector 40 may comprise a magnetisable
component 42, which has a shaped bump 421 on a surface thereof. The
magnetisable component is of a ferro magnetic material which can be
attracted by the magnet, for example, a metal material such as
iron, nickel, cobalt or the like. The shaped bump 421 of the
magnetisable component 42 may be fitted into the recess 3211.
[0041] Referring back to FIG. 5a, there is shown a partial
cross-sectional view of the first wearing part 10 and the second
wearing part 20. A shape of the recess 3211 and a shape of the
shaped bump 421 are identical to each other, and the shaped bump
421 and the recess 3211 engage with each other through the magnetic
force therebetween and may be attracted by each other due to the
magnetic force. Therefore, when the user is to separate the first
wearing part 10 from the second wearing part 20, the user can only
separate them in a single direction in which they are assembled,
and it is difficult to separate them in the other direction. In
this way, if the first wearing part 10 and the second wearing part
20 are put into the washing machine for washing in a combined
state, the risk of separation can be reduced.
[0042] With the paired wearing structure according to the third
embodiment of the present invention having been described above,
the paired wearing structure according to a fourth embodiment of
the present invention will be described next. Referring to FIG. 5b,
there is shown a partial cross-sectional view of a paired wearing
structure 4 (after combination) of the fourth embodiment.
[0043] The paired wearing structure 4 of the fourth embodiment is
similar to the paired wearing structure 3 of the third embodiment,
but differs in that: the first connector 30 may further comprise a
protection layer 50. The protection layer 50 may also be fixed to
the first wearing part 10 through sewing, bonding or the like so
that the magnetic component 32 is connected with the first wearing
part 10 by firstly being disposed on the protection layer 50. The
protection layer 50 may be made of fabric or plastic, and may have
a rectangular or irregular shape. The second connector 40 may also
comprise another protection layer (not shown) so that the
magnetisable component 42 is firstly disposed on the protection
layer (not shown) before being disposed on the second wearing part
20.
[0044] With the paired wearing structure according to the fourth
embodiment of the present invention having been described above, a
paired wearing structure according to a fifth embodiment of the
present invention will be described next. Referring to FIG. 6 and
FIG. 7, there are shown two schematic views of the paired wearing
structure 5 (before combination) of the fifth embodiment.
[0045] The paired wearing structure 5 of the fifth embodiment is
similar to the paired wearing structure 3 of the third embodiment,
but differs in that: the first connector 30 further comprises a
bonding component 33, and the second connector 40 may comprise a
bonding object 43 so that the first connector 30 and the second
connector 40 can be combined with each other through the bonding
force therebetween, which will be further described as follows.
[0046] Referring back to FIG. 7, the bonding component 33 may be
directly or indirectly disposed on the first wearing part 10 (e.g.,
through a protection layer 50), and may comprise a supporting seat
331 and a fabric hook-and-loop fastener 332. The support seat 331
may have a recess 3311 adapted to accommodate the fabric
hook-and-loop fastener 332. The fabric hook-and-loop fastener 332
may be a Velcro tape, and has a plurality of soft hooks 3321 on a
surface thereof.
[0047] The bonding object 43 may be directly or indirectly disposed
on the second wearing part 20, and may also be another fabric
hook-and-loop fastener 431, which has a size and a shape adapted to
be fitted into the recess 3311. Therefore, when the first wearing
part 10 and the second wearing part 20 are to be separated, the
first wearing part 10 and the second wearing part 20 can only be
separated in a single direction in which they are assembled, and it
is difficult to separate them in the other direction. Accordingly,
the risk of unexpected separation can be reduced.
[0048] Referring to FIG. 7 again, there is shown a partial
cross-sectional view of the paired wearing structure 5 (before
combination) of the fifth embodiment.
[0049] After the first connector 30 and the second connector 40 are
combined, the fabric hook-and-loop fastener 332 of the first
connector 30 and the fabric hook-and-loop fastener 431 of the
second connector 40 will be bonded together; and soft nylon loops
4311 on the surface of the fabric hook-and-loop fastener 431 can
hitch the soft hooks 3321 of the fabric hook-and-loop fastener 332
so that the two can be combined with each other. The fabric
hook-and-loop fastener 332 and the fabric hook-and-loop fastener
431 further have the characteristic of being bendable, so they can
be bent along with the first wearing part 10 and the second wearing
part 20.
[0050] With the paired wearing structure according to the fifth
embodiment of the present invention having been described above, a
paired wearing structure according to a sixth embodiment of the
present invention will be described next. Referring to FIG. 8,
there is shown a schematic view illustrating the paired wearing
structure 6 (before combination) of the sixth embodiment.
[0051] The paired wearing structure 6 of the sixth embodiment is
similar to the paired wearing structure 1 of the first embodiment,
but differs in that: the first connector 30 further comprises a
brass button 34, and the second connector 40 may comprise a brass
button presser 44; and the brass button presser 44 may be a
pressing buckle so that the first connector 30 and the second
connector 40 can be fastened to each other through pressing or the
like.
[0052] Referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, there are shown two
schematic views illustrating a paired wearing structure (before
combination) of a seventh embodiment and a paired wearing structure
(before combination) of an eighth embodiment respectively.
[0053] The paired wearing structure of the seventh embodiment and
the paired wearing structure of the eighth embodiment are similar
to the paired wearing structure 1 of the first embodiment, but
differ from the paired wearing structure 1 of the first embodiment
in that: the first connector 30 further comprises a binding band
35, and the second connector 40 may be also a binding band 45 or a
slit 351. The binding bands 35 and 45 may be made of an elastic
band, a cloth rope, a plastic rope or the like. The binding band 35
can pass through the slit 351, or be connected with the binding
band 45 through tying, intertwining or the like to form a knot or a
ribbon, and the binding bands 35 and 45 may be made of different
materials respectively so that the first connector 30 and the
second connector 40 can be combined with each other.
[0054] It should be appreciated that, the first connector and the
second connector shown in FIGS. 8-10 respectively may also be
directly or indirectly disposed on the first wearing part 10 and
the second wearing part 20 (e.g., via a protection layer)
respectively through sewing, bonding or the like.
[0055] Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 again, the bonding component
33 can be utilized in other wearing structure (i.e. not limited to
paired), such as T-shirt, coat and hat (not shown). So, the
supporting seat 331 of the bonding component 33 is disposed on a
part of the wearing structure directly or indirectly (i.e. with a
protection layer 50 interposed), and the fabric hook-and-loop
fastener 332 is accommodated in the recess 3311 of the supporting
seat 331. The fabric hook-and-loop fastener 332 can bond to another
part of the same wearing structure, or bond to another
hook-and-loop fastener 431 disposed on the same wearing
structure.
[0056] According to the above descriptions, the paired wearing
structures according to each of the embodiments of the present
invention can effectively make improvements on the drawbacks of the
prior art, and can be implemented in paired wearing structures of
various styles, so they are flexible and convenient to use.
[0057] The above disclosure is related to the detailed technical
contents and inventive features thereof. People skilled in this
field may proceed with a variety of modifications and replacements
based on the disclosures and suggestions of the invention as
described without departing from the characteristics thereof.
Nevertheless, although such modifications and replacements are not
fully disclosed in the above descriptions, they have substantially
been covered in the following claims as appended.
