Latest Regina Miracle International (Group) Limited Patents:
The present invention relates to the textile field, and more specifically, to an adjustable shoulder strap, an assembling method thereof, and an adjustment buckle applied to the adjustable shoulder strap.
Related ArtShoulder straps are applied to various clothing, especially intimate clothing, such as a brassiere, a waistcoat, and swimwear. For convenience of wearers, the majority of shoulder straps have adjustment buckles configured to adjust the length of the shoulder straps. However, in the prior art, a portion at which a shoulder strap is connected to an adjustment buckle for fastening is rather thick, and causes friction and uncomfortableness to the wearer when the clothing is worn. The comfort level is relatively low. Moreover, when external clothing is worn, especially flimsy external clothing in summer, this type of shoulder strap fully protrudes, which is rather unsightly.
To resolve the foregoing problem, in an existing manufacturing technique, a relatively thin shoulder strap is configured to alleviate the protrusion problem at the adjustment buckle. However, the relatively thin shoulder strap has poor force-bearing, and the comfort level is also greatly reduced.
Therefore, a shoulder strap that can significantly improve the wearer's comfort level and the aesthetic degree is desired.
SUMMARYIn view of the foregoing problems in the prior art, this application is to provide an adjustable shoulder strap and an assembling method thereof. The adjustable shoulder strap is thinner and smoother while being worn, and fits a wearer's body better.

Other features, objectives, and advantages of this application become more obvious according to detailed descriptions of nonrestrictive examples by reading and referring to the following accompanying drawings.
This invention is further described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It may be understood that a specific embodiment described herein is merely used to explain a related invention, but not to limit the present invention. In addition, it should be further understood that for convenience of description, only content related to the related invention is shown in the accompanying drawings.
It should be noted that when there is no conflict, the embodiments in this application and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. This application is described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and with reference to the embodiments.
In following descriptions, an adjustable shoulder strap may include, but is not limited to, an adjustment buckle, a strap portion, and a ring portion.
As shown in
The one end, or the first end, of the strap portion may be fastened or attached to the fastening portion of the adjustment buckle in various possible manners. For example, an adhesive may be used to adhere the one end of the strap portion to the fastening portion of the adjustment buckle, or a binding wire is used to stitch the one end of the strap portion to the fastening portion of the adjustment buckle. A material of the binding wire may include a cotton thread, a plastic wire, a chemical fiber wire, or the like. A plurality of exemplary implementation manners for stitching the one end of the strap portion to the fastening portion of the adjustment buckle and a plurality of exemplary structures of adjustment buckles corresponding to different stitching manners are specifically described below.
In an exemplary implementation manner, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the binding wire may be configured or enabled to pass through the strap portion and a plurality of holes of the fastening portion and to wind around a connecting part or connecting parts between the plurality of holes of the fastening portion, so as to fasten the one end, or the first end, of the strap portion to the adjustment buckle.
As shown in
The shape of the holes or apertures and the number of holes or apertures may be set or determined according to the material of the strap portion used and the manner of fastening the strap portion to the fastening portion. For example, if the strap portion is made of a relatively thin material or a width of the strap portion is relatively small, the fastening portion may include a relatively small number of holes. For example, a fastening portion of an adjustment buckle 200 shown in
In another embodiment, the binding wire may be configured or enabled to pass through the strap portion, a hole or aperture of the fastening portion, and an opening of the threading portion, and wind around a connecting part between the hole of the fastening portion and the opening of the threading portion, so as to fasten the one end, or the first end, of the strap portion to the adjustment buckle.
For example, in an adjustment buckle 300 shown in
For another example, in an adjustment buckle 400 shown in
In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a groove may be formed on part of a surface of the adjustment buckle to which the strap portion is attached, so that the strap portion fits into the groove so as to fit the adjustment buckle better, and so that the thickness or depth of the adjustment buckle, and hence the total thickness of the adjustment buckle and the strap portion, is reduced at the groove region. For example,
In an embodiment of this invention, an opening of at least one threading portion of the adjustment buckle may be formed in a manner that the strap portion can properly pass through the opening. For example, the length of the opening may be greater than or slightly greater than the width of the strap portion, and the width of the opening may be greater than or slightly greater than the depth of the strap portion. For example, in the structure of the adjustment buckles 300 and 400 shown in
An exemplary implementation manner of enabling the other end or the second end of the strap portion to pass through the threading portion of the adjustment buckle after fastening one end or the first end of the strap portion to the fastening portion of the adjustment buckle is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
For example, as shown in
Although not shown in accompanying drawings, a person skilled in the art should understand that the threading portion may also have only one opening. For example, when the threading portion has only the lower threading portion 112 shown in
The adjustable shoulder strap provided in this application may be applied to various clothing, for example including but not limited to female underwear, male waistcoat, a dress, and the like.
Although not shown in the accompanying drawings, a person skilled in the art should understand that the ring portion may also be fastened to a bra cup of the bra, and the other end of the strap portion is fastened to a side wing of the bra, so that a wearer can conveniently adjust the length of the shoulder strap in front after the underwear is worn, and the wearer's hand does not need to wind to the back to adjust the length of the shoulder strap or the length of the shoulder strap does not need to be adjusted with the help of others.
In various application instances of the adjustable shoulder strap provided by this invention, a user may set, according to a requirement, which surface of the adjustment buckle faces towards an inner side of clothing, that is, a side in contact with the wearer's skin.
Exemplary implementation solutions of this application are described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. A person skilled in the art should understand that the foregoing implementation solutions are merely examples used for purposes of description, but are not intended to limit this application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or the like made within the teaching of this application and the protection scope of the claims shall fall within the protection scope of this application.
