Description

Textile article provided with a penetration zone

The invention relates to a textile article provided with a penetration zone. The textile article is typically a garment; however, the textile article may also be a pocket or a backpack, for example, among others.

US 2016007665 A1 and US 2016295933 A1, respectively, show trousers with a pocket which is flat in the unfilled state, the interior space of which is delimited by an inner textile surface which extends beyond the surface of the pocket and an outer textile surface which is sewn onto the inner textile surface, and the material of which is capable of being stretched elastically wider and softer than the material of which is the inner textile surface. The through-going opening to the inner space of the pocket is located at a part of the edge of the inner textile surface. When a person is wearing the pants as intended and the pocket is not filled, the inner textile surface lies flat against the body of that person, the outer textile surface lies flat against the inner textile surface and the puncture opening is narrowed to a line. When the body of the person wearing the trousers does not keep the trousers in a certain shape, the wearing opening may also be opened widely without external force, and there is a risk that objects may inadvertently fall out of the pocket.

US 2020029637 A1 also shows a garment having a pocket, the interior region of which is bounded by an inner textile surface and an outer textile surface, wherein the inner textile surface extends beyond the surface of the pocket and the outer textile surface is stitched to the inner textile surface. The opening extending between the edge regions of the inner and outer textile surfaces is bordered by a very elastically stretchable third textile surface, which in the bulged state has substantially a funnel-like shape. The edge regions of the elastic textile surface, which may define the larger funnel-shaped opening, are stitched to the outer textile surface and the inner textile surface. The edge regions of the elastic textile surface, which possibly delimit the smaller funnel-shaped opening, are not sewn with any further textile and form a through-going opening to the inner space of the pocket. It is contemplated that the through opening for passing the article therethrough may be reversibly elastically stretchable. The third textile surface is compressed between the inner and outer textile surfaces when the garment is used as intended. In order that the third textile surface does not hang unsightly next to the garment after extraction of the hand extending through the penetration opening, it can also be sewn to the inner textile surface or to the outer textile surface in the region of the inner funnel-shaped opening. Thereby resulting in volume loss for the pocket.

US 2015007379 A1 shows a pocket made of an elastic planar textile material, which is formed as a circularly self-closing pocket which, when worn as intended, encircles the transition region between the buttocks and the waist of a person and lies flat and tightly against the body. Here, the loop pocket may be a belt-like part of the upper part of the trousers (usually used for sports activities) or may be a separate garment. The pocket mouth is a relatively narrow hole provided with an elastic band in the outer side face of the pocket-shaped formation; this hole for passing the article therethrough is reversibly elastically stretchable depending on the elasticity of the textile material.

JP 2001207318A describes a flat penetration area formed of a rubber-like plastic for mounting at the opening of the textile surface of a garment. The planar penetration area is not a textile, i.e. is not formed by a thread, but is an integral part of the film and is stiffer than the surrounding textile. The planar penetration region has a slit, the edges of which can be bent elastically for penetration and which, after penetration, are deformed back again reliably into the closed initial state. The feel and appearance of the penetration area, as well as its surface area being large in terms of the possible width of its through opening, are problematic.

US 2008010718 A1 shows openings on a glove for selectively interspersing individual fingertips in order to enable touching with the fingertips. The openings are bordered by a textile material which is capable of being stretched elastically wider and softer per unit area than the normal planar material of the glove to which the elastic textile material is attached.

The inventors have realized that there are a range of common situations where it is difficult or even impossible for a person to reach the pockets on their clothing, and/or after reaching the pockets of the clothing, it is necessary to close the pockets again with both hands, whereby it may for example not be possible to achieve closure while controlling the vehicle. Furthermore, many known closure means for garments are hardly operable correctly for young children.

In contrast, the invention is based on the object of providing a passage opening in a textile surface (which is, for example, part of a garment), which can be used, for example, as a pocket opening, which is easy to pass through by the entire hand and which, after passage, is again placed in the pre-passage state itself, and which is formed in such a way that it can be used regardless of the type of textile surface to be penetrated and at which surface region of the textile surface the passage opening is located.

In order to achieve this object, it is proposed that the penetration region for the entire hand of the person is formed by means of a separate textile surface, wherein the separate textile surface is connected with its edges to the edges at the surrounding textile surface in such a way that the separate textile surface and the region of the surrounding textile surface surrounding the separate textile surface can be arranged together flat in a correspondingly elastically relaxed and correspondingly uncreped state, wherein the material of the separate textile surface can be stretched elastically wider and softer per unit area than the material of the surrounding textile surface, and wherein openings are present in the separate textile surface. The individual textile surface is placed in a recess in the surrounding textile surface, wherein the edges of the individual textile surface and the edges of the recess in the surrounding textile surface are connected to one another, and wherein the recess in the surrounding textile surface has the same shape and size as the individual textile surface when the two textile surfaces are in a flat and elastically relaxed state, wherein the opening is completely surrounded by the individual textile surface and is spaced apart from all outer edges of the individual textile surface.

The invention, including advantageous improvements, is shown and described with the aid of the accompanying drawings in which the textile article of the invention is a garment:

FIG. 1: a part of an exemplary first garment designed according to the invention is shown structured in a viewing direction from the front, in a position intended to be worn.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram: an exemplary second garment designed according to the present invention is shown structurally in a viewing direction from the front, in a position intended to be worn.

FIG. 3: an exemplary third garment designed according to the invention is shown structured in a viewing direction from behind, in a position intended to be worn.

FIG. 4 is a schematic view of: a portion of a fourth garment designed according to the present invention is shown structurally.

In the four drawings, portions having the same function are denoted by the same position numbers.

The garment 1 of fig. 1 has a penetration area 2 which is placed within an opening in the surrounding textile surface 3 of the garment 1. In this case, the penetration region 2 has a separate textile surface 4, which replaces the surrounding textile surface 3 in its surface region. The individual textile surfaces 4 are interrupted by an opening 5 which, as illustrated, is spaced from all outer edges of the individual textile surfaces 4 and, as illustrated, is preferably hemmed by means of a hem 6.

The material of textile surface 4 alone is able to stretch more widely and softly elastically than the material of the surrounding textile surface 3. A material that can be stretched broadly and flexibly elastically is also used for the hem 6 of the opening 5 in the individual textile surfaces 4. The cross-sectional area and the circumference of the opening 5 can thus be determined relatively narrowly in the elastically relaxed state and can nevertheless be passed through the opening 5 by hand or relatively large items can be moved through the opening, since the opening 5 can be elastically (and thus reversibly) stretched when required.

The outer edge of the individual textile surface 4 is connected over its entire length to the edge of the surrounding textile surface 3, typically by stitching. Instead of sewing, bonding, welding, riveting, or the like may be performed. The mentioned two surfaces are dimensioned such that they are equal in size in case of elastic relaxation of the textile surfaces 3, 4. This makes it possible to: the penetration zone 2 and the textile surface 3 surrounding it can be free from wrinkles when nothing is inserted through the opening 5.

The material of the textile surface 4 alone is able to stretch more widely and softly elastically than the material of the surrounding textile surface 3 for the same base plane. The material of the individual textile surfaces can be of a structure which is itself composed of rubber-like soft elastic stretch threads or of a textile material with planar elasticity due to the way in which thread-like base material is interwoven or woven into a planar formation. The expertise in manufacturing flat elastic fabrics is well known to those skilled in textile technology, and therefore the more detailed form is not discussed in detail here.

The opening 5 in the individual textile surface 4 is a hole surrounded by the material of the individual textile surface 4, which hole is thus at a distance, preferably at least 2cm, from the nearest area of the edge 5 of the individual textile surface 4. What can be achieved by this spacing is: the opening 5 can, if required, be stretched so widely in relation to its usual circumference that a hand or a relatively large article can pass through it, and then, owing to the elastic restoring force, it can also be reliably reduced again to a large extent without further manipulation being required for this purpose.

Although the opening 5 can optionally be completely enclosed by the individual textile surface 4, it can here be in part very close to the edge of the individual textile surface 4, for example only a few millimeters from this edge. The opening 5 cannot stretch as far away from the textile surface alone in terms of the circumference of the opening 5 in the elastically relaxed state of the textile surfaces 3,4, but may provide visual advantages.

The opening 5 is preferably embodied in the form of a straight slit, i.e. the length of the straight slit is approximately as long as the width of the palm of the person using the garment 1 as intended, without the thumb, in the case of elastic relaxation of the surrounding textile material, and for this purpose it is further preferred that the opening 5 is elastically stretchable at least to such an extent that the entire palm of said person can be penetrated in the longitudinal direction. Such a high stretchability of the periphery of the opening 5 can be easily achieved and is best determined by tests, in particular by selecting a minimum elasticity of the material of the individual textile surface 4 and possibly also of the material of the hem 6. Thereby maximizing the combination of good maneuverability and good security against inadvertent removal of the article from the pocket 2.

Optionally, an additional operable closing mechanism can also be mounted on the opening 5, by means of which the width of the opening 5 can be selectively reduced or increased. As is schematically shown in fig. 2, this operable closure mechanism can be, for example, a push button closure 7, i.e. a two-part mechanism, wherein the two parts can be fixed to one another or separated from one another by overcoming a latching force. Although the mechanism can narrow the opening, the opening retains its elasticity and function.

In the optional case illustrated in fig. 2, the penetration region 2 opens into a pocket 8 (outline illustrated in dashed lines) of the garment 1, which is located within the surrounding textile surface 3 and which, in addition to the penetration region 2, is accessible through an opening 9, which is implemented as in the case of known garment pockets. The opening 9 can be embodied here significantly wider than the opening 5 in the penetration region according to the invention. The additional opening 9 can be used here exclusively for passing through particularly large items, and the narrower opening 5 can be used for quick access.

However, the penetration area 2 according to the invention may also be the only opening to a pocket in the garment 1.

When the region of penetration 2 opens into a pocket 8 of the garment as schematically shown, the area of the pocket 8 is preferably larger than the area of the region of penetration 2. More precisely, that is to say that the area of the pocket 8, which is projected at right angles to the plane of the lying-down surrounding textile surface 3, is preferably dimensioned to be greater than the lying-down area of the penetration region 2. The area of the pocket 8 (more precisely, the projected area) is preferably twice as large as the area of the penetration area.

According to another variant of the invention, the region of penetration 2 according to the invention can be a connection region between two pockets of the garment, wherein each of the two pockets has a further access opening, wherein one of these access openings opens onto the outer side of the garment and the second of these access openings opens onto the inner side of the garment. Thereby realizing that: access to the inner pocket of the garment without opening the garment (i.e. passing through the outer pocket) for this purpose; and there is still a separation between the inner and outer pockets so that items do not inadvertently enter one pocket into the other.

The region of penetration 2 on the garment does not necessarily force access into the pocket of the garment; the stretch region can also easily pass from the outside of the garment into the space enclosed by the garment, for example, without making complicated access to other garments inside.

According to a preferred embodiment, the penetration region 2 is positioned on the upper fitting and in particular: in the case of the intended wearing of the upper garment, the opening 5 of the penetration region 2 is situated in front relative to the body of the person wearing the upper garment at a height ranging from 5cm below to 10cm above the navel and symmetrically at a distance of not more than 10cm from the body. In this sense, top-coat refers to apparel for a person that shields the person's torso from the neck down and has penetrations for the person's arms, i.e., typically a jacket, shirt, vest (vest), or sweater. By means of said arrangement, the pull-through area can also be utilized well when a person wearing the garment 1 is wearing a climbing rope or a backpack with a waist belt or sitting on a car seat with a safety belt fastened.

According to a further preferred (not shown) embodiment for this purpose, the surface shape of the opening is elongated in the relaxed state or in the state of the individual textile surface (4), and the direction of the maximum dimension of the surface rises away from the body plane of symmetry of the person wearing the garment.

In the example according to fig. 3, two pockets 8 are provided in the lower part of the back region of the garment 1 embodied as a top garment, which pockets have a penetration region 2 according to the invention. This piece of clothing 1 is for example well suited for cycling. The openings 5 of the wearing region 2 are elongated in the elastically relaxed state, wherein the longitudinal direction is inclined away from the body symmetry plane of the person wearing the garment 1, whereby the person wearing the garment 1 can comfortably enter the pockets 8 through these openings without twisting the body. On the garment 1, the penetration areas 2 are each fitted with a cover strip 10 outside the opening 5. This is a strip made of textile material which is connected to the edge region at the surface region above the respective opening 5 of the garment 1 and which, without other influences than gravity, hangs down from its fixing region and thereby shields the respective opening 5. The cover strip 10 hardly influences the access to the penetration area 2, but rather very effectively promotes that moisture flowing onto the garment 1 during rain does not flow into the pockets 8.

In the example according to fig. 4, a penetration region 2 according to the invention is shown leading to a pocket 8. The penetration region 2 is arranged behind an outer bag opening 11, which is designed as a zipper in the example shown. In order to protrude into the pocket 8, it must protrude through the outer pocket 11 and the opening 5 of the penetrating region 2 according to the invention, which is designed as an inner pocket opening. The circumference of the outer pocket 11 is made significantly larger than the circumference of the opening 5 in the region of penetration 2 when this region is elastically relaxed. This embodiment is helpful, for example, if the person has only one hand free in order to remove something, for example, from a pocket in the item of clothing, but after removal the pocket cannot be closed, since for this purpose he needs two hands to do so. In this case, the self-closing locking function of the penetration region 2 according to the invention achieves a (at least temporarily) sufficiently good closure of the pocket 8.
