DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The object of the present invention pertains to the technical sector of sewing.
The production of figurine-type decorative elements representing material objects, persons or others on clothing is known. In general, in most cases, these decorative elements are produced by sewing or embroidering directly on a part of clothing, especially on the front or the back.
This mounting process has certain disadvantages. In fact, it is necessary to place on the reverse on the fabric, in counterpart to the decorative element, a piece of paper or other material, with the function of partially suppressing the elasticity of the fabric and subsequently to add tension to the said decorative element which is sewn or embroidered in conjunction with the paper countersupport. After attaching the decorative element, one manually removes the excess paper following the outline of the said element.
A problem with comfort results for the user when wearing the clothing because the stitches remain visible, on the one hand, and the paper can be directly in contact with the skin, on the other hand. Moreover, this mode of attachment does not make it possible to put in relief the decorative element which remains in the same plane as the part of the clothing receiving it.
To remedy these disadvantages, the goal of the present invention is to manufacture clothing of the pullover type having a decorative element with a relief appearance, without being detrimental to the comfort of the user, the reverse of the clothing, especially the part having the decorative element, always having the same feel as the rest of the entire clothing.
In this regard, the process is noteworthy in that it comprises the following principal steps:
On the front or back part, a cutout is made, the outline of which corresponds to that of the decorative element(s).
The decorative element(s) are made independently.
The decorative element(s) are inserted into the cut-out opening.
On the reverse of the front or back part, the piece of fabric initially cut out is added to the outline(s) of the decorative element(s).
The element(s) and the previously cut-out piece are sewn together according to the so-called sleeve mounting principle.
The invention is described below in greater detail using the attached drawings by way of example and in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pullover according to the invention.
FIG. 2 through 5 show the principal phases of the process in purely schematic views.
To make the object of the invention more concise, it is described in nonlimiting embodiments schematically shown in the figures of the drawings.
The entire article of clothing of the pullover or other type, which is manufactured by any known suitable means, is designated by (V). Any kind and density of thread can be used (FIG. 2).
According to the invention, from the front (VI) (or the back), one makes a cutout (1), the outline of which corresponds to that of the decorative element (2) selected to fit the clothing (FIG. 3).
The decorative element (2) is made separately by any known means (FIG. 4). Preferably, though not strictly limiting, the element (2) is made in a fabric that is different from that of the clothing so as to increase the relief effect. It is known that the decorative element can consist of any figurine (animal, person) as well as any material object. As an indication, the clothing (V) is made in a smooth fabric, while the decorative element has a fluffy appearance.
The decorative element (2) is then inserted over the cut-out opening (1) of the front (or back). On the reverse of the front (or back) and in correspondence with the decorative element (2), the piece of fabric (1a) initially cut out is then placed behind the element and along the contours of the said element (2) on the inner surface of the article of clothing as shown in the drawings (FIG. 5).
Finally, one proceeds with stuffing the decorative element, entirely or partially, to give it the desired visual effect, with a relief appearance.
In a particularly noteworthy manner, a sewing operation according
