38、b></p><p>　　拉鏈是服裝行業(yè)中常用的配件之一，在加納地區(qū)，這主要是因為拉鏈的成本相對較低，并且更容易使用，效果也比其他緊固件好。然而，我們發(fā)現，大多數的拉鏈在加納市場中，并沒有得到有效的使用，主要是因為它們在制衣過程中，被不正確的使用。這項研究的目的是研究服裝制造中影響拉鏈使用效率的因素。目標是確定在服裝制造中拉鏈的影響及拉鏈的應用。研究采用的是簡單隨機抽樣技術，選取了325個裁縫作為研究對象。

39、這項研究的主要發(fā)現是，修身的衣服和隱藏拉鏈的應用方法，對拉鏈的應用產生了負而的影響。因此，建議裁縫應該提高他們的技能，將拉鏈以最合適的辦法應用到服裝中。</p><p>　　關鍵詞:拉鏈;緊固件;性能;服裝;加納</p><p><b>　　引言 </b></p><p>　　拉鏈是全球服裝行業(yè)中常用的緊固件。迪斯(2011)認為，拉鏈是人們在

40、他們的童年就學會使用的第一個小部件，在日常生活中也是最常見的服裝中的配件。實際上，這樣認為，一點都不夸張。在拉鏈的安裝中，必須要密切配合好各道工序。當這種協(xié)調失敗的話，拉鏈就很可能無法使用到服裝中，也很難維修和更換。 </p><p><b>　　研究的目標 </b></p><p>　　這項研究的目的就是分析拉鏈在服裝中的應用效果，以及拉鏈在加納服裝市場中的表現。

41、</p><p><b>　　具體目標是: </b></p><p>　　1.識別拉鏈對服裝的影響。 </p><p>　　2.確定拉鏈的應用及其對服裝性能的影響。 </p><p><b>　　研究的問題 </b></p><p>　　服裝的合體性對拉鏈應用的影響? <

42、;/p><p>　　2.站在用戶的視角看拉鏈對服裝的影響 </p><p><b>　　文獻綜述 </b></p><p>　　根據伊勒(2008)的研究，拉鏈的主要用于服裝的緊固部分，需要和紡織材料融合在一起。他們提供了一個整潔的修身衣服，可以將拉鏈的功能和裝飾效果合二為一。弗林斯(2002)，認為，拉鏈是固定裝置，是平行成排的金屬，塑料或尼龍牙

43、齒，它們的相鄰邊緣都是吻合的。托馬斯(2009)還表示，拉鏈也可以用于潛水員的服裝中。拉鏈在家庭中的應用并不是很長，但自引入以后，在通用服裝領域中已經使用了相當的長時間了。 </p><p>　　根據伊勒的說法，拉鏈可以有很多材料，嚙合部分的形式也不同。后者對衣服的使用效果有很大的影響。然而，斯托(2004)補充說，所有這些拉鏈按不同的規(guī)格以及高標準規(guī)范來生產的。 </p><p>　　不

44、同的人對拉鏈的分類也不同，可以根據拉鏈的形式、材料和用途來分。布 坎南和梅耶(2002)，伊勒(2008)，主要是根據拉的形式來分類。布坎南和馬耶爾是根據材料來分類的，他們將拉鏈分成兩類:鏈拉鏈(中等重量與金屬或塑料拉鏈牙齒)和線圈拉鏈(合成聚酯或尼龍的線圈連接一個編織類型)。伊勒再次表明，拉鏈的主要類型有:單獨的金屬牙齒，螺旋線圈，塑料模制牙齒以及隱形拉鏈。這兩個分類則基于拉鏈的嚙合部分的性質來分類。 </p><

45、p><b>　　拉鏈的應用 </b></p><p>　　拉鏈的應用，主要是在服裝制作及安裝過程中。這個過程有時對初學者來說，可能有點困難，但是如果他們真的遵循了正確的程序, 那么是很容易上手的 (迪亞蒙德，2007)。在服裝中插入一個拉鏈，一定要遵循正確的步驟，否則可能會打破機針，損壞機器，而且拉鏈被弄壞后后，可能會對服裝造成永久性的傷害。拉鏈的安裝有各種方法，要根據具體的服裝和情況

46、使用合適的方法。此外，拉鏈的類型也會大大影響拉鏈的具體應用。一般拉鏈是集中在一個槽縫或隱藏在搭接縫內。 </p><p><b>　　服裝的合體性 </b></p><p>　　根據斯托內(2004)的研究表明，服裝的合體性也會影響服裝的性能。服裝主要有三種基本類型：寬松、半貼身和貼身。寬松和和半貼身的衣服，在應用拉鏈豪時當然沒問題，然而問題是貼身的衣服。貼身的修身類

47、服裝會對身體帶來額外的壓力，如果拉鏈的使用不當，會給人帶來很不舒服的感受(迪斯，2011)。當這些拉鏈克服了其彈性極限的時候，可能會導致拉鏈從中間蹦開，并造成永久性的傷害。具有諷刺意味的是，許多人都喜歡購買或定做貼身的衣服，就是想通過緊身衣使他們看起來更瘦。事實正好相反，穿緊身的衣服會使人看起來更大更重(羅賓遜，2010)。 </p><p><b>　　研究方法 </b></p>

48、;<p>　　本研究采用的是橫斷面調查法，選取了一家擁有 600 個員工和 439 個裁縫的成衣制造廠，來搜集數據，尋求消費者對拉鏈的感知，以及拉鏈在行業(yè)中的使用。此外，還使用簡單隨機抽樣程序獲得了 325 名受訪者，包括：裁縫和追求時尚的學生。根據研究目標，將使用調查問卷的方式用于收集數據。然后對問卷進行分析。 </p><p><b>　　結果和討論 </b></p&

49、gt;<p>　　根據斯托內(2004)的研究，拉鏈的應用方法決定了拉鏈使用的成功與否，不當的方法最容易導致拉鏈的應用失敗，因此會導致拉鏈的永久性損傷，所以要調查拉鏈的使用方法。 </p><p>　　研究結果表明，有 72.8%的受訪者認為，隱藏式的拉鏈，其他方法相比，其應用方法是最困難。因此，隱藏式拉鏈的應用是導致拉鏈應用失敗的原因。拉鏈在服裝結構的失敗很可能來自隱藏式安裝方法的使用。不當的方法

50、可能導致失敗，而且這一損壞的比例還相當高，缺乏經驗的消費者在其日常使用中，也可能很容易損壞拉鏈，因此導致拉鏈的永久損傷。 </p><p><b>　　結論 </b></p><p>　　基于研究結果，我們可以做如下總結: </p><p>　　1.修身緊致的服裝在服裝的制作和拉鏈安裝過程中，面臨更大的壓力；更多的感受到這種壓力的也是最薄弱的地

51、方就是服裝的接縫和拉鏈處，在緊身衣里，拉鏈的應用更麻煩。 </p><p>　　2. 此外，不正確的拉鏈應用方法會對拉鏈的性能造成負面影響，隱藏式拉鏈的應用方法在服裝中，是導致拉鏈使用失敗的主要原因。隱藏式拉鏈的應用方法需要有特殊技藝專長的員工按規(guī)定的步驟來完成安裝，并且還需要借助特定的設備，然而，這是非常昂貴的。 </p><p><b>　　建議 </b><

52、/p><p>　　為了確保拉鏈能夠在加納服裝業(yè)中得到可靠的應用，本文的研究建議如下： </p><p>　　1. 制作服裝的布料應具備更強的韌性，并盡量少制作緊身的服裝，這會崩壞拉鏈，從而影響整個服裝的使用。 </p><p>　　2. 裁縫應該不斷地提高他們的技能，學會不同的拉鏈應用安裝方法，可以通過參加研討會和短期課程來實現，以減少應用不當所造成的拉鏈故障率。<
