Abstract

The garment (0) comprises a fabric layer (1) having an inner side (10) facing the wearer in the worn state and an outer side (11) facing away from the skin (3), which should provide a climate regulating effect in a climate regulated area despite a lack of direct skin contact with the wearer. This is achieved in that the fabric layer (1) has at least one climate control region (2) which is spaced apart from the skin (3) of the wearer in the worn state, in which a plurality of yarn bristles (20) made of the respective second yarn, each of which is embodied as an open loop, are inserted into the fabric layer (1) in such a way that each yarn bristle (20) has two bristle sections (200) which point away from the inner side of the fabric layer (1) and a central section (201) which extends along the outer side (11), wherein the bristle sections (200) of the yarn bristles (20) can be brought into direct contact with the skin surface of the wearer when the garment (0) is worn, while the inner side of the fabric layer (1) remains spaced apart from the skin surface in the region of the climate control region (2).

Description

Garment with at least one climate zone

Technical Field

The invention relates to a garment comprising a textile layer, in particular a woven or knitted fabric made of at least one first yarn, which has an inner side facing the wearer in the worn state and an outer side facing away from the skin, and to a method for producing a garment.

Background

In particular, the applicant is aware of various garments having different fabric layers with means for climate control. For this purpose, in particular, garments are produced which lie tightly against the skin of the wearer, are particularly tight-fitting and whose climate-regulating action can be effected on the basis of direct contact (Aufage) against the skin of the wearer. Climate control devices are used, for example, for absorbing perspiration or for the targeted removal of perspiration and, in part, for the thermal insulation of specific body parts. In this case, it is preferable to choose textile layers made of woven or knitted fabrics, since they are extremely flexible and, despite the close contact with the skin, still allow sufficient latitude.

But there are more users who reject tight fitting garments. Accordingly, typical known climate control devices can no longer be used, since they are based on direct skin contact of a fabric layer or climate control area.

Disclosure of Invention

The object of the invention is to provide a textile garment with a textile layer which, in use, has little direct skin contact with the wearer and nevertheless exerts a climate-regulating effect at least in the textile layer or climate-regulating region of the garment. As climate control effect, improved thermal insulation and/or transport of perspiration away from the body surface are understood.

Climate regulating action of a fabric layer not in direct contact with the wearer's skin is achieved by a garment having the features of claim 1.

Further advantageous embodiments are specified in the dependent claims.

Detailed Description

Garment 0 is here shown by way of example in the form of a pair of trousers and a T-shirt, each having a fabric layer 1. The fabric layer 1 comprises an inner side 10 and an outer side 11. In the worn state of the garment, the inner side 10 is arranged to face the skin of the wearer, while the outer side 11 is arranged to point towards the side facing away from the skin 3.

The fabric layer 1 and thus the garment 0 are respectively cut such that the inner side 10 of the fabric layer 1 does not directly contact the wearer's skin 3, whereby the garment 0 is cut less tightly. Since there is no direct contact, it is possible to climate control without using fabric layer sections that are in direct contact with the skin.

For this purpose, a plurality of climate control zones 2 are provided on the fabric layer 1, which in the example of the trousers 0 or T-shirt 0 according to fig. 1 and 2 are arranged in defined regions, in particular in the region of the lumbar spine, in the course of the spine, on the inner thigh and/or on the outer thigh. On the T-shirt 0, the climate control region 2 is arranged in the region of the armpits, chest, abdomen, lumbar vertebrae and/or in the course of the spine. The climate-regulated zone 2 is partly indicated diagrammatically by means of a dashed line. These climate-regulated zones 2 are not in planar direct contact with the wearer's skin 3.

As shown in detail in fig. 2, climate control zones 2 each comprise a plurality of yarn bristles 20, each of which comprises a thread which comprises a central section 201 and which branches off on both sides into two bristle sections 200. A one-piece yarn-touch 20 with three sections each is thus achieved. The thread from which each individual yarn contact 20 is formed is a curved relaxed profile that forms yarn contact 20 in the form of a loop having two ends, one at each end of contact section 200. Yarn bristles 20 are arranged in fabric layer 1 and are held fixed by fabric layer 1, wherein intermediate section 201 extends at least partially along outer side 11 of fabric layer 1, while bristle section 200 extends away on inner side 10 of fabric layer 1. The yarns of the yarn haptics 20 may each be knitted, sewn or woven into the fabric layer 1. The hair sections 200 are shown in dashed lines in fig. 3, since they extend completely over the inner side 10. The direction of extent of the central portions 201 of the yarn bristles 20 is in each case oriented parallel and approximately in the circumferential direction of the legs.

In fig. 4 it is shown that the fabric layer 1 is spaced from the wearer's skin 3 in the as-worn state. The fabric layer 1 is not directly contacted with the inner side 10 on the skin 3. Indirectly, the fabric layer 1 is connected to the skin 3 at intervals by a plurality of yarn tentacles 20. The yarn bristles 20 penetrate the fabric layer 1 and are designed approximately in the form of a U. On the inner side 10, the haptic section 200 is arranged so as to point in the direction of the skin 3, while the central section 201 extends preferably completely on the outer side 11 (side facing away from the skin). At the location of the yarn bristles 20, the garment 0 is in direct contact with the skin surface of the wearer when worn. The yarn bristles 20 are formed in one piece from one yarn as an open loop. The ends of the sections 200 protrude in the worn state of the garment 0 up to the skin 3.

Preferably, the hair contacting sections 200 have the same length d, so that both hair contacting sections 200 exert the same capillary action. The tentacle sections 200 are more or less free to fly out of the fabric layer 1 away from the inner side 10. In order to achieve an optimally functioning climate control region 2, the yarn bristles 20 should be distributed as uniformly as possible and are particularly preferably packed as densely as possible.

The yarn tentacles 20 can optionally be produced from the same yarn from which the fabric layer 1 is made or from a further yarn, in particular a hydrophilic second yarn. In particular, the yarn bristles 20 are made of polyamide, so that sufficient moisture removal or wicking is achieved. The yarn bristles 20 suck moisture and conduct them away from the skin 3, so that a climate control can be achieved on the basis of a plurality of yarn bristles 20. The capillary action can also be increased by using particularly hydrophilic materials for the hollow fibers and/or the yarns of the yarn tentacles 20.

By the angled configuration of the hair contacting section 200 relative to the central section 201, i.e. the substantially U-shape, moisture can be conducted away from the skin 3 and into the central section 201 spaced apart from the skin 3. The space between the loosely cut garment 0 and the skin 3 can be bridged by the tentacle section 200 protruding laterally at an angular angle from the intermediate section 201 and protruding towards the skin 3. Since the yarns of the hair sections 20 are flexurally loose, the hair sections 200 no longer run parallel and can have a different shape in their course up to the skin surface than the respectively adjacent yarn hair 20. Despite the action of bending relaxation, its function is ensured, the spacing between the inner sides 10 of the fabric layers 1 is produced, a passage is provided and sweat is able to be removed along the yarn bristles 20.

The central section 201 is substantially configured here to run parallel to the outer side 11. However, it is also possible for the central section 201 to be formed more precisely in a wave-like manner with a variable distance from the outer side 11. Here, the middle section 201 can also be threaded through the fabric layer 1 several times.

Tests have shown that the length d of the hair section 200 projecting away from the inner side 10 should be between 1mm and 70mm, in particular between 2mm and 10mm, in order to achieve sufficient capillarity and liquid storage. The thread thickness of the yarn haptics 20 should be selected between 0.5 and 10dtex, especially between 0.5 and 5 dtex. Preferably, the length b of the middle section 201 of a yarn contact 20 lies between 0.5 and 3 mm, whereby a sufficient number of yarn contacts 20 can be placed on a small surface.

Depending on the density of the yarn bristles 20 per unit area, the climate control region 2 produced by the inner side 10 leaving the protruding yarn bristles 20 can have a heat-insulating effect in addition to the effect of removing perspiration. The density of at least four yarn contacts 20 per square centimeter should be selected, preferably 10 yarn contacts per square centimeter and more. A fur-like zone in the climate-controlled zone 2 is provided by a density of more than four yarn-tentacles 20 per square centimeter.

Preferably, middle section 201 and hair section 200 are to be selected to be of the same length in the case of a yarn contact 20, respectively, so that a consistently designed yarn contact 20 is formed.

When a fur-like zone is provided in the climate controlled zone 2 by a sufficiently high density of yarn tentacles 20, the inner side 10 remains spaced apart from the skin 3 and the heated air is enclosed in a plurality of channels between the inner side 10 of the fabric layer 1 and the surface of the skin 3. Air may not be circulated and heat is maintained in climate controlled zone 2. In order to provide a particularly good fur-like structure of the climate controlled zone 2, the density should be ten or more yarn-touch-hairs 20 per square centimeter penetrating the fabric layer 1.

When a fur-like configuration is to be achieved by means of a plurality of yarn bristles 20, the at least one climate zone 2 can finally be selected to be so large that it completely spans the inner side 10 of the fabric layer 1 of the garment 0. When approximately 40% and more of the surface of the inner side 10 is provided with a climate control region 2 consisting of a plurality of yarn bristles 20, a fur-like design with preferably climate-controlling fur properties is already produced.

Preferably, the yarn bristles 20 are arranged uniformly distributed in the climate control region 2. The spacing of the intermediate sections 201 of adjacent yarn bristles 20 should be selected substantially the same.

The fabric layer 1 is optionally a woven, knitted or braided fabric. Preferably, the fabric layer 1 is embodied as a knitted fabric, which is produced industrially on circular knitting machines or flat knitting machines. If the knitted fabric 1 is produced, for example, on a circular knitting machine, a first knitting yarn comprising the first yarn is used, whereby the fabric layer 1 in the form of a knitted fabric shell is produced automatically on the knitting machine by means of a suitable knitting pattern.

During the knitting process, a second yarn is knitted, which extends partially on the inner side 10 and partially on the outer side 11 of the knitted fabric 1. The second yarn is knitted in these regions with a planar distribution during the knitting process, in which the climate control region 2 is to be formed later on.

The later yarn tentacles 20 are accordingly preferably arranged in the circumferential direction or knitting direction, so that the direction of extension of the middle section 201 runs in the knitting direction. During the knitting process, a second knitting yarn for creating the yarn tentacles 20 is knitted in addition to the first knitting yarn for creating the fabric layer 1. Alternatively, the second knitting yarn may be coincident with the first knitting yarn.

The second knitting yarn is knitted jointly and is divided several times after knitting by means of a cutting device, so that a plurality of yarn tentacles 20 are produced at the location of the climate control zone. The cutting process should be set in such a way that the lengths d of adjacent hair sections 200 of yarn contact hairs 20 are as uniform as possible.

A controllable cutting device is usually integrated into the knitting machine, with which the loops projecting from the inner side 10 are separated, whereby these loops become open loops and thus the yarn bristles 20. The cutting process is also carried out automatically by the control device of the knitting machine in a controlled manner at the location of the fabric layer 1 where the climate control region 2 is to be formed. The result is a yarn contact 20 formed from the second yarn and having two contact sections 200 with ends and an intermediate section 201, as described above.

Alternatively, the yarn bristles 20 can also be knitted from the respective yarn, which can take place on the respective machine in a further work process.
