Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the invention

The present invention relates to a sewing method for a wrinkle-free shirt. More particularly, the present invention relates to a sewing method for a wrinkle-free shirt, in which a fabric core made of cotton and/or an adhesive film is attached to an end part of an outer shell of a shirt such that it can be sewed together with the outer shell of the shirt, thereby preventing the shirt from wrinkling.

2. Description of the Prior Art

As generally known in the art, a sewing technique is a basic and essential technique in the garment industry. However, a wrinkling phenomenon occurring at seam lines of a garment has long plagued the garment industry. Such a wrinkling phenomenon is typically caused by thread shrinkage, which occurs during laundering of the garment.

In order to solve the wrinkling phenomenon occurring at seam lines of the garment, Jong Wong has filed a plurality of Patent Applications with USPTO. The above Patent Applications are now allowed to Jong Wong with U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,568,779 (issued on Oct. 29, 1996), 5,590,615 (issued on Jan. 7, 1997), 5,713,292 (issued on Feb. 3, 1998), 5,775,394 (issued on Jul. 7, 1998), and 5,782,191 (issued on Jul. 21, 1998). These Patents disclose a sewing method for preventing components of a garment, such as shoulder seam lines, lateral seam lines, a chest pocket and sleeves, from wrinkling. According to the sewing method disclosed in the above Jong Wong's Patents, a plastic bonding tape, which is made from a thermally adhesive bonding material, is placed along the seam lines such that the plastic bonding tape can be sewed together with the seam lines.

Therefore, the seam lines of the garment can be securely fastened by means of the plastic bonding tape even if thread shrinkage occurs in the garment after laundering of the garment, thereby preventing the garment from wrinkling.

However, since the sewing method disclosed in the above Patents uses the plastic adhesive tape, it is necessary to apply heat to the surface of the plastic adhesive tape for a long time in order to melt the plastic adhesive tape. In addition, the above Patents present disadvantages in that they require the special process and equipment for melting the plastic adhesive tape.

In addition, since the plastic adhesive tape used in the above sewing method is made from a thermoplastic material, the hardness of the plastic adhesive tape may rise after it has been cooled, so that the plastic adhesive tape has superior strength and inferior flexibility, causing the plastic adhesive tape to be easily broken. Furthermore, the plastic adhesive tape may stimulate a skin of a user wearing the garment, thereby degrading wearing comport.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a sewing method for a wrinkle-free shirt, which can easily bond an adhesive tape to seam lines through simple pressing work while applying heat to the adhesive tape for a short time and can provide superior wearing comport and adhesive characteristics at seam lines as compared with those of the prior art.

In order to accomplish this object, the present invention provides a sewing method for a shirt capable of preventing the shirt from wrinkling, the shirt including a front panel, a rear panel sewed with the front panel, and sleeves formed at both sides of the shirt corresponding to arms of a user, in which a central button placket is provided at a central portion of the front panel, the central button placket has a plurality of holes, which are longitudinally incised so as to allow the user to easily wear or take off the shirt using buttons, a collar is provided above the center placket corresponding to a neck of the user, a pocket is provided at one side or both sides of a chest part of the front panel, a yoke extends from an upper part of the rear panel to a shoulder line, a cuff is provided at a lower end part of each sleeve corresponding to a wrist of the user, and a sleeve placket formed at an upper part of the cuff lengthwise along the sleeve, wherein seam lines are provided to connect components of the shirt and the seam lines include a pocket seam formed at the chest part of the front panel, a collar seam formed at a neck part of the shirt, a cuff seam formed at the wrist part of the shirt provided at the lower portion of the sleeve, a side seam connecting the front panel with the rear panel, a shoulder seam formed at a shoulder part of the shirt, a sleeve seam connecting the shoulder part of the shirt with the sleeve, a sleeve placket seam formed at an upper portion of the cuff, and a yoke seam formed at the yoke provided at the upper portion of the rear panel, in which the sleeve placket seam is divided into an upper sleeve placket seam and a lower sleeve placket seam, and the yoke seam is divided into a side yoke seam which is sewed to the sleeve at both lateral sides of the yoke and a lower yoke seam which is sewed to the upper portion of the rear panel at a lower end of the yoke, the method comprising the steps of: attaching a fabric core and/or an adhesive film to each seam; and sewing the fabric core and/or the adhesive film with each seam.

According to the sewing method of the present invention, the adhesive film and/or the fabric core is attached to and sewed with to the seam part of the shirt at a relevant temperature condition through simple pressing work, without requiring a long heating process, thereby simplifying the fabrication processes for the shirt. In addition, since the present invention employs the fabric core and/or the adhesive film having superior flexibility, the wearing comfort may be improved as compared with the prior art employing the plastic adhesive tape.

After placing predetermined parts of the front and rear panels 1 and 2 on an inner end portion of the sleeve 3, the end portion of the sleeve 3 extending outward from the end portions of the front and rear panels 1 and 2 is folded. Then, the adhesive film m having a predetermined length is attached to an area ranging from the end portions of the front and rear panels 1 and 2 to the folded end portion of the sleeve 3. In this state, end portions of the front and rear panels 1 and 2 are folded together with the adhesive film m such that the adhesive film m can be bonded with the front and rear panels 1 and 2. In this case, the other sides of the folded end portions of the front and rear panels 1 and 2 are bonded to the folded end portion of the sleeve 3 by means of the adhesive film m. Then, sewing work is performed with respect to the folded end portions of the front and rear panels 1 and 2 and the sleeve 3 as well as the folded end portion of the sleeve 3 and the front and rear panels 1 and 2 (see, seam lines “s”). After that, the adhesive film m is pressed by means of a press device while applying heat having a predetermined temperature to the adhesive film m, so that the adhesive film m is completely bonded to the end portion of the sleeve 3 and the front and rear panels 1 and 2, thereby obtaining the sleeve seam F as shown in FIG. 1. For instance, in the case of the sleeve seam F, the heating temperature is 180° C., pressing pressure is 5 kg/cm2, heating and pressing time is about 9 seconds, cooling time is about 4 seconds and the adhesive film m has a width of about 12 mm.

FIG. 11 is a view illustrating the sleeve placket seam G including the upper sleeve placket seam G1 sewed with the lower sleeve placket seam G2 shown in FIG. 2.

As shown in FIG. 11, the upper sleeve placket seam G1 and the lower sleeve placket seam G2 shown in FIG. 2 can be obtained when upper and lower sleeve placket covers 11a and 11b, which cover end portions of upper and lower sleeve placket seams, are folded on end portions of the upper and lower sleeve placket seams. In this case, the adhesive film m is attached to the end portions of the upper and lower sleeve placket covers 11a and llb, respectively. In addition, the end portions of the upper and lower sleeve placket covers 11a and 11b having the adhesive film m are inwardly folded such that they make contact with the end portion of the sleeve 3. Thus, the adhesive film m is folded together with the end portions of the upper and lower sleeve placket covers 11a and 11b. Here, the adhesive film m can be completely bonded to the end portions of the upper and lower sleeve placket covers 11a and 11b by applying pressure and heat having a predetermined temperature to the adhesive film m by means of a press device. Then, sewing work is performed with respect to the folded end portions of the upper and lower sleeve placket covers 11a and 11b and the corresponding end portion of the sleeve 3 (see, seam line “s”), thereby obtaining the sleeve placket seam G as shown in FIG. 1. For instance, in the case of the sleeve placket seam G, the heating temperature is 165° C., pressing pressure is 4 kg/cm2, heating and pressing time is about 12 seconds, and the adhesive film m has a width of about 6 mm. However, the fabrication condition for the sleeve placket seam G may not be limited to the above condition, but may be variously selected depending on quality and characteristics of texture of the garment.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 12b, both side end portions of the outer shell 8a of the yoke 8 are folded together with the adhesive film m, so that the side end portions of the outer shell 8a of the yoke 8 are bonded with the adhesive film m. In this state, sewing work is performed with respect to both side end portions of the outer shell 8a of the yoke 8 (see, seam lines “s”). After that, the adhesive film m is pressed by means of a press device while applying heat having a predetermined temperature to the adhesive film m, so that the adhesive film m is completely bonded to the end portion of the outer shell 8a of the yoke 8, thereby obtaining the side yoke seam H1 as shown in FIG. 4. For instance, in the case of the side yoke seam H1, the heating temperature is 180° C., pressing pressure is 5 kg/cm2, heating and pressing time is about 15 seconds, and the adhesive film m has a width of about 12 mm. However, the fabrication condition for the side yoke seam H1 may not be limited to the above condition, but may be variously selected depending on quality and characteristics of texture of the garment.

The lower yoke seam H2 is obtained when the rear panel 2 of the shirt is sewed to the yoke 8. As shown in FIG. 13a, the outer shell 8a and the inner shell 8b of the yoke 8 are attached to both surfaces of the rear panel 2 and the adhesive film m is attached to the end portion of the outer shell 8a of the yoke 8. After that, as shown in FIG. 13b, the end portion of the outer shell 8a of the yoke 9 is folded in a direction opposite to the rear panel 2. Thus, the end portion of the outer shell 8a of the yoke 8 is folded together with the adhesive film m so that the end portion of the outer shell 8a of the yoke 8 is bonded to the adhesive film m. In this state, sewing work is performed with respect to the end portions of the outer shell 8a and inner shell 8b of the yoke 8 and the end portion of the rear panel 2 (see, seam lines “s”). After that, the adhesive film m is pressed by means of a press device while applying heat having a predetermined temperature to the adhesive film m, so that the adhesive film m is completely bonded to the end portion of the outer shell 8a of the yoke 8, thereby obtaining the lower yoke seam H2 as shown in FIG. 4. For instance, in the case of the lower yoke seam H2, the heating temperature is 180° C., pressing pressure is 5 kg/cm2, heating and pressing time is about 15 seconds, and the adhesive film m has a width of about 6 mm. However, the fabrication condition for the lower yoke seam H2 may not be limited to the above condition, but may be variously selected depending on quality and characteristics of texture of the garment.

As described above, according to the sewing method of the present invention, the fabric core and/or the adhesive film is attached to and sewed with the each seam part of the shirt. In addition, the fabric core and/or the adhesive film is pressed and heated with a predetermined temperature so that the fabric core and/or the adhesive film can be securely bonded to the seam part of the shirt. Accordingly, the sewing method of the present invention can easily bond the adhesive film to the seam part of the shirt at a relevant temperature condition through simple pressing work, without requiring a long heating process, thereby simplifying the fabrication processes and reducing the manufacturing cost for the shirt.

In addition, since the present invention employs the fabric core and/or the adhesive film having superior flexibility, the wearing comfort may be improved as compared with the prior art employing the plastic adhesive tape.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, each seam part of the shirt can be obtained by folding the adhesive tape, so that the adhesive characteristic of the seam part can be improved.

Although a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
