Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Technical Field
The present invention relates generally to a garment, and more particularly to a clothing having a hood. The clothing has a detachable band for hanging the clothing or for fastening the hood.
2. Description of Related Art
Typically, a hoodie is a shirt having a hood. Man wearing the hoodie may put the hood on for shading sun or just for good looking.
However, most of the time, the hood is put down to hang on the back of the wearer. The hanging hood will swing freely when the wearer is walking, running, or doing exercise. The hood also may be move because of wind blow. The uncontrollable hood might put the wearer in danger if the swinging hood is hooked by an object while the wearer is moving.
The conventional hoodie is provided with a tag at the interior side and closing to the hood. That tag may make the hoodie be hung on a hook when it is taken off.
However, the space between the tag and the hoodie is fixed, so that it cannot be hung on a big hook. Besides, the tag may be fallen off because of the weight of the hoodie, or by an external force when the hoodie is hung on the hook.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the above, the primary objective of the present invention is to provide a clothing with a hood, which is provided with two detachable bands to fasten the hood and to hang the clothing on a hook.
In order to achieve the objective of the present invention, a clothing includes a main clothing section having an interior side and an exterior side opposite to the interior side, wherein the main clothing section is provided with a through hole, which is open at both the interior side and the exterior side; a hood connected to the main clothing section, wherein the through hole is close to the hood; a first band having an end connected to the exterior side of the main clothing section; a first coupler connected to a free end of the first band; a second band having an end connected to the interior side of the main clothing section; and a second coupler connected to a free end of the second band to detachably engage the first coupler. The second coupler is able to pass through the through hole to engage the first coupler, or go over the hood to engage the first coupler.
Whereby, the first and the second band could hang the clothing on a hook, or fasten the hood.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, a clothing of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is a jacket 100 for example, includes a main clothing section 10, a hood 20, a first band 30, and a second band 40.
The main clothing section 10 is the main of the jacket 100, and the hood 20 is connected to a neckline of the main clothing section 10. The main clothing section 10 is a single fabric layer, and has an exterior side 12 and an interior side 14. The interior side 14 of the main clothing section 10 touches a wearer when he/she puts the jacket 100 on, and the exterior side 12 is opposite to the interior side 14. The main clothing section 10 may be made of double fabric layers in another embodiment, and it still has the exterior side 12 and the interior side 14. The main clothing section 10 is provided with a through hole 16 close to the hood 20 (or the neckline), and the through hole 16 is open at both the exterior and the interior sides 12, 14.
The first band 30 has an end sewed to the exterior side 12 of the main clothing section 10 at a position under the through hole 16, and the second band 40 has an end sewed to the interior side 14 of the main clothing section 10. A first coupler 32 is connected to a free end of the first band 30, and a second coupler 42 is connected to a free end of the second band 40. In the present invention, the first and second bands 30, 40 are nylon belts, and the first and second couplers 32, 42 are a pair of side release buckles. In another embodiment, the first and second couplers 32, 42 may be Velcro devices, buttons, and other detachable couplers.
As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the second coupler 42 passes through the through hole 16, a part of the second band 40 does it too, to arrive at outsides of the main clothing section 10, and then the first and the second couplers 32, 42 are engaged together to form a ring (FIG. 5). In the present embodiment, the second band 40 is longer than the first band 30. The ring of the first and the second bands 30, 40 may be engaged with a hook (not shown) to hang the jacket 100.
In another embodiment, the second band 40 is shorter than the first band 30, and the first coupler 32 is inserted into the through hole 16 to be engaged with the second coupler 42. The function is the same as above.
As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the hood 20 can be folded and fastened by the first and the second bands 30, 40 in the following way. The hood 20 is folded repeatedly until the second coupler 42 is able to go over the hood 20 and engage the first coupler 32. At this time, the first and the second bands 30, 40 are connected together as a ring to fasten the folded hood 20 therein.
In conclusion, the detachable first and the second couplers 32, 42 can connect the first and the second bands 30, 40 to be a ring to hang the jacket 100 or fasten the hood 20. In practice, the character of the present invention could be incorporated in any kind of clothing, such as raincoat, shirt, and vest.
It must be pointed out that the embodiments described above are only some preferred embodiments of the present invention. All equivalent methods which employ the concepts disclosed in this specification and the appended claims should fall within the scope of the present invention.
