  • Publication number: 20230097764
    Abstract: Clothes includes: fabrics having a stretchability; and a joined part where the fabrics are fixed together using an adhesive. A difference between a stress of the joined part at 50% elongation in a longitudinal direction of the joined part and a stress of the fabrics fixed by the joined part at 50% elongation in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the joined part is within 30%.

  • Publication number: 20220279862
    Abstract: Provided is a garment made of a stretchable fabric and having an opening. The opening has a structure in which a fabric edge is folded back, and the fabric edge is fastened to a main body of the fabric with adhesives, a part of the opening is formed with a pattern in which curvature of the opening changes, and a row of the adhesives that are applied on a side closest to the edge of the fabric is applied within 2 mm from the edge of the fabric, and a difference between an average of spacings between adjacent adhesives applied in a row in a 3-cm section of a portion having the largest curvature radius at the opening and an average of spacings between adjacent adhesives applied in a row in a 3-cm section of a portion having a smaller curvature radius at the opening is within 15%.

  • Patent number: 10513820
    Abstract: A soil resistant fiber structure, including a fiber and a soil resistant resin fixed to at least a part of a surface of the fiber, wherein the resin has, in at least a part inside the resin, one or more regions dyed with osmium oxide as observed with a transmission electron microscope, at least one of the regions is circular, the regions have a maximum diameter of 100 nm or more and 500 nm or less, and the soil resistant fiber structure has a mass concentration ratio of oxygen atoms to fluorine atoms (O/F) of 3 or more as obtained by measuring the surface of the fiber with an energy dispersive X-ray analyzer. The present invention provides a fiber structure having high anti-adhesion property against aqueous soils and oily soils as well as soil release property by washing.
