Five characteristics of special protective clothing design

Special protective clothing is also commonly referred to as tooling and overalls. The design of this type of equipment seems to be very simple. There are almost no design highlights or even no design requirements. This is a common misconception that people usually wear on work clothes. Nowadays, the design of the market and the use of fabrics in the market, poor layout and sewing techniques have aggravated people's misunderstanding of work clothes. The production of overalls is different from the general production of garments. The overalls is a cultural and comprehensive project that integrates apparel and corporate image creation, style design and human environment research. The production of work clothes not only needs to understand the clothing, but also to understand the world, understand the culture, understand the national conditions, and understand professional knowledge. The biggest difference between work clothes and ordinary clothes is the technical content of work clothes. The so-called science and technology content refers to the need to meet the human sciences, wear comfortable and practical; the second refers to the function of clothing.

Special protective clothing design emphasizes five major features: functionality, originality, aesthetics, economy and science. Let's talk about it one by one.

I. Functionality: Responsible for the needs of the wearers in their work, making them safer and more efficient. The job content, work environment, work posture, and joint strength of all kinds of workers are the first thing to understand. Whether they can be more comfortable during exercise and reduce work fatigue is something that we need to solve. This is very The essential. Generally consider one by one in the collar, sleeves, elbows, waist, hips, knees, and toes. For example: power maintenance personnel, we know that this operation requires a pole, the operating environment with static electricity (strong static electricity still exists after the closure of the switch), and only from these two aspects our thinking direction can basically be formed: climb The main part of the rod, hands and feet, we design some loose leaves at the sleeves of the clothes and the knees of the trousers, so that we do not have the compactness when we wear the clothes during the climbing process; The surface auxiliary materials must avoid chemical fiber, metal and other materials that are susceptible to electrostatic resonance. The fabrics are made of pure cotton or anti-static series fabrics, and the accessories are made of resin as far as possible without nylon. We are going to deepen our understanding of this type of work: if the operator climbs to a height, if he wants to get in touch with the ground staff, he needs a communication device such as a wireless walkie-talkie. We can set up a walkie-talkie on the left front of the garment (usually right-handed Most of the people), if it does not undermine the appearance of beauty, the right chest can also be set one. In the evening maintenance work, the use of high-strength reflective strips is particularly important. After these factors are considered to be large or small, we will consider them one by one and then study them. In terms of functionality, we will be able to design some functions that are consistent with the power maintenance staff's equipment. Other industries can use this way of thinking.

Second, originality: special protective clothing to ensure the perfect function at the same time have a unique design highlights, this highlight test the designer a special understanding of clothing, remember that "understand" is not "understand." We can choose to perform modeling or accessories on a functional site. Here's an example: hospital nurses are on duty nurses, the working environment of infusion nurses is clean and dustless, and they need to hang the bottles on the hanger during work. On the two points of departure, we consider functionally. Here, I again propose functionalities. The use of antibacterial fabrics for fabrics and accessories, and the use of loose-leaf pages at the armholes of clothing are completely feasible, but we find it too routine. There is no problem. We changed the back sleeve tab into a patch, and the patch was made of breathable knitted material. As the stretch was increased, the nurses could easily hang the bottle. The thickness of the original loose leaf was also solved. When you come out, do you think it means something? “A piece of your own” is the biggest highlight of originality and the greatest sense of accomplishment of the designer.

Third, the aesthetic: After the garment structure design is completed, we have to determine the style fabric color and add custom accessories such as India, embroidery, leather label, custom logo button, zipper, etc., both to strengthen the style of custom exclusive feeling, but also increased the appearance . There is absolutely nothing wrong with the conventional use of the purchaser's standard corporate identity, which is also the commonality of the designers of the vast majority of manufacturers. And how these materials are used and applied to the position of the design is what designers need to ponder. The choice of fabric color follows: industry general color, customer-specified color, corporate standard logo color, and corporate nature (individual thought means). We suppose that taking the overalls of the operators of Sinopec's refineries as an example, we choose anti-static fabrics according to industry and job characteristics. In terms of color, we can refer to general colors in the general chemical industry, namely blue, blue for energy and reserve. Can be seen from the corporate standard color is black and red, with black to gray to silver gray, extending from red to orange, gray is wild color, representing the use of oil products in the world; Orange represents a warning that represents the high risk of this industry Sex. Customer specified color does not elaborate here. Here I will use silver as the main color to match with a summer long-sleeved shirt: eight-character lapel, pedestal inside the fight petrochemical red, the front chest horizontal pressure reflective strips, the front chest patch pocket, the left pocket angle beveled insert color petrochemical red The back of the film is pressed horizontally and the front and back are harmonized. Left chest embroidered standard petrochemical logo, left sleeve cuff, easy to place items like pens, right cuff pressing material "Lao An" leather label, showing style design and fabrics and manufacturers have passed "Lao An" standard. The inner all-inclusive stitching process makes the seams clean and smooth. It can be worn directly on the skin. This process improves the quality of the product and also enhances the image of the serviced company. The combination of silver grey and petrochemical red highly emphasizes the logo culture integrated into Sinopec. In the style of the side seam to design a rich corporate culture, the appearance of the style can also be upgraded to achieve a dedicated sense of seriousness. Through easy-to-understand text descriptions, the reviewers quickly understand where the colors are used, and perhaps reach a consensus that the design is half successful.

Fourth, economical: to cope with different enterprises on the special financial protection of protective clothing using a variety of simple functional design, to ensure the establishment of functionality at the same time increase or decrease in other aspects, such as fabric protection level, composition, materials and materials and process processing methods.

Fifth, scientific: a complete order from the business receipt to the terminal basically goes through five aspects of personnel running, that is, the terminal leader's thinking concept, the terminal manager's attitude, the end wearer's idea, the designer's Idea, producer's flow.

The terminal leader's thinking concept refers to the general direction of the head of the service enterprise unit to what kind of products and styles his subordinate employees want. This direction determines the designer's thinking on product development.

The terminal manager's attitude refers to the responsible person who is assigned to complete the order. This attitude determines the functional origin and color matching of the clothing cost and the clothing style. Here we need to communicate with it and guide and clear it from a professional perspective. Finally reached an agreement.

The idea of ​​the wearer of the terminal refers to the opinions of all employees of the service. During the work process, this group of people encounters obstacles to their work caused by the clothes worn in the past and some wishes such as the safety and comfort that the new work clothes are intended to achieve. Of course, there are some personal subjective ideas. These I think are very important design basis ideas.

The idea of ​​the designer originates from the requirements put forward by the terminal. It must further consider the problem. The requirements of the three are integrated to find out which commonality is the design direction, and the in-depth understanding of the working nature of the employees of the service company, the working environment and other factors. Out of the terminal customers did not mention but may often occur in the work of the security risks, design products, to minimize the security risks, "think customers do not want to be comprehensive" is a good designer necessary conditions.

The process of the producer means that the final finalization of the terminal begins with mass production. The operability and rapidity of product flow production is the most important issue for the production department. In the design of garments, mass production must be considered and the oversimplification of the process will be excessive. To increase production output, designers must understand the process of cutting a piece of fabric from fabric to garment. The processes in which the process is the most complex, we must improve to use it sparingly, or improve the special operation method, and the function can still be established. "Doing something else that cannot be done by a manufacturer" is unique to a good designer.

After summarizing the five characteristics, after several years of research and development of special protective clothing, the author gradually came up with a number of doorways. The special design road is very long, and it takes every step to take a good step. Look back at each step. To sum up, find out if there is any way that can be more convenient and introduce new ideas so that the decent workforce can live in dignity.
