Description

The proposed solution relates to an item of clothing for a small child with a web portion which is arranged between the small child's legs in a tightened state.

Such items of clothing are generally known in the form of one-piece bodies. The web section can reduce the likelihood of the item of clothing being put on slipping. In this way, in particular, a torso area of the small child can be reliably covered independently of any movement of the small child.

In principle, however, there is the problem that such a piece of clothing can only be suitable for use by small children of a specific desired size. Such a suitability can be specified in particular by a distance between a head and shoulder area and the web section. If a piece of clothing of the type mentioned above is used for a small child, which is smaller than the desired size, the piece of clothing can slip relative to the small child. In this way, areas of the small child that are to be covered by the item of clothing can be uncovered. This can reduce a heating effect of the garment for the infant. If, on the other hand, the item of clothing is used for small children whose body size is larger than the target size, the item of clothing may not be able to be put on. As a result, the item of clothing in question must be exchanged for an item of clothing with a larger nominal size.

Against this background, there is a need for improved items of clothing of the type mentioned at the outset.

This object is achieved by an article of clothing for an infant according to claim 1.

• - in Oberteil zur Aufnahme eines Rumpfes des Kleinkindes, das in einem Kopf-Schulter-Bereich eine Kopföffnung zum Durchführen eines Kopfes und an einem dem Kopf-Schulter-Bereich gegenüberliegenden Bauchbereich einen umlaufenden Rand aufweist, und
• - ein Unterteil, zur Aufnahme einer Hüftregion des Kleinkindes, wobei das Unterteil über einen Stegabschnitt mit dem umlaufenden Rand des Oberteils dauerhaft verbunden ist und einen an dem umlaufenden Rand lösbar befestigbaren, schlauchförmigen Befestigungsabschnitt aufweist, der eine dem Stegabschnitt zugewandte Beinöffnung zum Durchführen von Beinen und einen dem Stegabschnitt gegenüberliegenden offenen Endabschnitt aufweist, der zur Befestigung des Befestigungsabschnittes an dem Oberteil über den Bauchbereich des Oberteils stülpbar ist.

Such an item of clothing for an infant has at least:

• - in an upper part for accommodating a torso of the small child, which has a head opening in a head-shoulder area for a head to pass through and a peripheral edge on a stomach area opposite the head-shoulder area, and
• - a lower part for accommodating a hip region of the small child, the lower part being permanently connected to the peripheral edge of the upper part via a web section and having a tubular attachment section which can be detachably fastened to the peripheral edge and which has a leg opening facing the web section for the passage of legs and has an open end section opposite the web section, which end section can be slipped over the belly area of the upper section in order to fasten the fastening section to the upper section.

The fastening section detachably fastened to the stomach region of the upper part can be displaceable relative to the upper part by loosening the fastening. The item of clothing can be adjusted to different body sizes of the small child by shifting the fastening section placed over the stomach area. The proposed item of clothing can consequently be suitable for use by small children of different body sizes. In particular, suitability for different body sizes can also be achieved with a one-piece design of the item of clothing.

The lower part can be detachably fastened to the upper part without the use of potentially disruptive fastening elements by slipping the fastening section over the belly area of the upper part. As a result, an undesired pressure effect on the small child in a tightened state by the fastening elements can be avoided. This can reduce a risk of injury and increase ease of use. In addition, putting on and taking off can be made easier.

For example, in a first position, the fastening section can be slipped over the stomach area of the upper part in the area of the peripheral edge. In the first position, the garment may be suitable for use by an infant of a first height. Starting from the first position, the attachment section can be slidable in the direction of the head-shoulder area of the upper part in order to adapt the garment for use by a small child with a smaller body size than the first body size. The proposed item of clothing can thus be adapted to different body sizes without much effort. This can further increase the convenience of use.

The proposed item of clothing can, in particular, reduce the likelihood of slipping when the wearer is wearing different body sizes. A need for regular replacement of the item of clothing against the background of changing body sizes can thus be reduced.

In addition, the fastening section slipped over the stomach area can have an insulating effect on the clothing when it is put on training piece in a kidney area and the abdomen area of the infant.

To put on the item of clothing, in a first step the peripheral edge of the upper part can be guided over the head of the small child in such a way that it moves within the upper part in the direction of the head-shoulder area of the upper part. As a result, the head can be guided through the head opening. As a result, the toddler's shoulders can be brought into contact with an inside of the upper part in the head-shoulder area. The upper part can have two arm openings for passing the arms of the small child through, which can each be provided on the side of the upper part for passing through an arm. As a result of the first step described, the torso area of the small child can be covered by the upper part. However, slippage of the top relative to the infant's torso can be very likely.

In order to reduce the likelihood of slipping and to achieve the tightened state of the garment, the legs of the small child can be passed through the end section of the attachment section feet first in a second step. The legs can step through the two openings of the fastening section with their feet first. By shifting the fastening section along the legs in the direction of the peripheral edge of the upper part, the web section can be guided between the legs of the small child and lie against the hip area. In order to adapt to body size, the fastening section can be shifted to different extents on the stomach area of the upper part in the direction of the head and shoulder area. By slipping the fastening section over the belly area of the upper part, the fastening section can be secured against further displacement relative to the upper part. This can reduce the likelihood of the garment slipping relative to the infant's torso area when donned.

The fastening section slipped over the stomach area of the upper part can be in frictional contact with the upper part when the item of clothing is on. As a result, the probability of the fastening section slipping relative to the upper part can be reduced.

Due to the frictional contact of the fastening section slipped over the stomach area of the upper part, the fastening section can be releasably fastened to the upper part. In particular, the fastening section can be detachably fastened in different positions which differ in their position relative to the upper part. Depending on the position in which the fastening section slipped over the stomach area of the upper part is frictionally fixed to the upper part, the item of clothing can be suitable for small children of different heights. In particular, in the tightened state, the position of the fastening section fixed to the upper part can be chosen such that the web section rests between the legs of the small child with a desired pressure. The use of potentially disruptive fasteners such as buttons or buckles can thus be avoided.

In particular, the upper part that rests in a friction-locking manner can avoid local pressure loading for the small child when it is put on.

In a further embodiment of the proposed item of clothing, the fastening section that is slipped over the stomach area of the upper part when the garment is on can be positively connected to the upper part. This can additionally reduce the likelihood of the fastening section slipping relative to the upper part.

In principle, both the upper part and the fastening section can have positive-locking elements. A form-fitting connection can be established between a form-fitting element of the upper part and a form-fitting element of the fastening section.

In an exemplary embodiment, the form-fitting elements can be hook-and-eye constructions, Velcro fasteners, buttons or elements with a similar effect that are suitable for creating a form-fitting connection between the fastening section and the upper part.

In principle, the form-fitting elements can be divided into pairs of a first type of form-fitting element and a second type of form-fitting element. In this case, the first type can be set up to enter into an operative connection with the second type in order to produce a form fit. For example, the first type can be a hook and the second type can be an eyelet.

In one embodiment of the proposed solution, at least one form-fitting element of the first type can be arranged on the fastening section and a plurality of form-fitting elements of the second type can be arranged on the upper part. The form-fitting elements of the second type on the upper part can be arranged on the upper part in such a way that the fastening section is different union positions relative to the upper part of the upper part is fixed in a form-fitting manner.

In an exemplary embodiment, two positive-locking elements designed as hooks can be arranged on the fastening section, which are set up to engage in an eyelet arranged in a side area on the upper part when the fastening section is pulled over the stomach area of the upper part in the tightened state. For example, a plurality of eyelets can be provided on the upper part in the side area in order to enable a positive fit of the fastening section with the upper part in different positions that have been displaced relative to the upper part.

In a further embodiment of the proposed solution, the end section can apply a contact pressure to the upper part when the item of clothing is put on in order to fasten the fastening section to the upper part in the arrangement placed over the stomach area. This can further reduce the likelihood of slipping and thus also improve the wearing comfort of the item of clothing.

The contact pressure can act essentially orthogonally to a surface of the upper part in the stomach area. In particular, this can improve a frictional connection of the fastening section to the stomach area of the upper part.

In the case of an embodiment of the item of clothing in which the fastening section can be connected to the upper part in a form-fitting manner, the contact pressure can also facilitate the production of the form-fitting connection and/or secure the form-fitting connection against unintentional opening.

In a further embodiment of the proposed solution, at least the end section can consist of an elastic material. This can make it possible to apply a contact pressure that is largely homogeneous over the area.

The largely homogeneous contact pressure can support the frictional contact of the fastening section in the tightened state.

In principle, the elasticity of all sections of the item of clothing can be determined independently of one another by selecting a material.

In principle, individual sections can be designed to be rigid or more rigid than other elements. Likewise, all elements can be designed to be elastic.

With regard to the end section, production from an elastic material can, in particular, allow the end section to be stretched between a minimum and a maximum diameter. The minimum diameter can, for example, be smaller than a width of the upper part in the stomach area. Wherein the width corresponds to a distance from one side of the bodice to another side of the bodice in a lay flat condition.

In the tightened state, the fastening section can only be stretched from the minimum diameter to a larger diameter by introducing an external force and can be slipped over the stomach area of the small child. Due to the elasticity of the material, it strives to return to the minimum diameter. This can apply a contact pressure from the attachment portion to the stomach area.

The contact pressure can be homogeneous over the surface. Accordingly, the contact pressure per surface element of the fastening section can act on the upper part with the same amount.

In a further embodiment of the proposed solution, the end section can have at least one friction surface on an inner side with a static friction coefficient that is higher than that of the web section. As a result, a frictional connection of the fastening section to the upper part can be improved.

For example, the at least one friction surface can be designed as a friction surface running around the inside of the end section. In the tightened state, the circumferential friction surface can thus bear against the upper part all the way around by putting the fastening section over the belly area of the upper part. For example, the circumferential friction surface can be designed with a rubber coating or a textile anti-slip material. As a result, a potentially unpleasant effect of the friction surface on a skin, in particular on the small child, can be avoided.

In principle, the friction surface can be made of any type of material which, as a friction surface on the inside of the fastening section, is suitable for increasing the coefficient of static friction between the fastening section and the upper part in the tightened state.

In a further embodiment of the at least one friction surface, it can be formed with a plurality of friction surfaces, which are arranged on the inside of the end section.

Regardless of the number of vines, the sum of all vines can be assigned a surface area that corresponds to the area with which all vines can rest against the upper part when tightened. A large surface area can reduce material stress on the upper part when producing a form-fitting connection.

In an alternative or supplementary embodiment, the at least one friction surface can also be arranged on an outside of the upper part, in particular in the stomach area.

In a further embodiment of the proposed solution, the at least one friction surface can be formed with a coating of rubber and/or a plastic. This can enable the at least one friction surface to be applied to the item of clothing in a cost-effective manner.

In principle, the fastening section can be fixed in a large number of different positions on an upper part in order to adapt the item of clothing to small children of different sizes. As a result, the proposed item of clothing can grow with the small child, which means that repeated acquisition costs can be avoided.

In a further embodiment of the proposed solution, the bridge section can have a material that is stronger than the material of the upper part in order to spread the legs in an arrangement of the end section that is pulled over the stomach area. This can support a squat spread posture of the toddler's legs when the garment is on. In this way, in particular, a hip misalignment in small children can be counteracted preventively or therapeutically.

Due to the stronger material of the bridge section, the bridge section can take up a volume between the legs of the small child in the tightened state, which spreads the legs laterally. In particular, the legs can be bent at an angle of at least 90° relative to a longitudinal axis of the small child's body.

By way of example, the heavier material can be embodied with a greater thickness than the rest of the material of the garment via weaving techniques such as double weaving. The thickness describes the expansion of the material in a direction orthogonal to a plane of extension of the material.

A kind of material can be independently selectable. By way of example, the entire item of clothing can therefore be made of cotton, wool or a blended fabric. Here, the web section can be distinguished by a particularly thick or particularly densely woven fabric.

In a further exemplary embodiment, the web section can be formed with a different type of material. For example, the web section can be made of a material that has less elasticity than the rest of the material of the item of clothing.

In a further embodiment of the proposed item of clothing, the bridge section can be connected to the upper part via a connecting section of the peripheral edge of the upper part. This can increase the comfort of use when putting on the item of clothing.

In particular, the connecting section, via which the web section is connected to the upper part, can make up less than half the length of the peripheral edge of the upper part.

In a further embodiment of the proposed item of clothing, the connecting section can face a back area or a stomach area of the small child when it is put on. As a result, the user comfort can be further improved.

In different embodiments, the upper part can be designed differently. In particular, collar shapes and sleeve lengths can be shaped differently to adapt to specific purposes, seasons or functional combinability with other items of clothing.

For example, the upper part can be shaped as a wrap body. In such a body wrap, the front side of the upper part can essentially be designed as a wrap section that can be detachably fastened to the upper part in a side area or a back area of the upper part. Thus, the winding body can have a released state and a wound state. In the wrapped state, the wrapping portion may be attached to the side portion or the back portion. Similarly, in the detached state, the wrapping section can be detached from the side area or the back area. Thus, the upper part in the wound state, but not in the released state, a head opening tion in the sense of an opening with a peripheral border. In particular, the head opening can only be formed by attaching the winding section to the side or back area.

The item of clothing in the embodiment with the upper part designed as a wrap-around body can be put on in the wrapped state, as described above. In addition, tightening in the released state is also possible. To do this, the toddler's arms can first be guided through the arm openings. A front of the toddler's torso is not covered yet. The wrapping section can then be attached to the side area or the back area of the upper part. As a result, the winding section rests at least partially on the front side of the torso. The guiding of the head through the head opening can thus be omitted when putting on or taking off. This can make dressing and/or undressing easier.

1A FIG. 1 shows an article of clothing for a small child, comprising an upper part 1 for accommodating a torso of the small child and a lower part 2 for accommodating a hip region of the small child. A head opening 12 for passing a head through is arranged in a head-shoulder area 11 of the upper part 1 and a peripheral edge 14 is arranged on a stomach area 13 opposite the head-shoulder area 11 . The lower part 2 has a web section 21 which is permanently connected to the peripheral edge 14 of the upper part 1 . Furthermore, the lower part 2 has a tubular fastening section 22 which can be detachably fastened to the peripheral edge 14 . For this purpose, the fastening section 22 has an open end section 24 opposite the web section 21 , which end section 24 can be slipped over the abdominal region 13 of the upper part 1 in order to fasten the fastening section 22 to the upper part 1 . In addition, the fastening section 22 has a leg opening 23 facing the web section 21, through which the legs of the small child can be passed.

The fastening section 22 of the 1A illustrated embodiment of the garment is essentially cylindrical. The attachment section 22 is open both on a side facing the web section 21 and on a side facing away from the web section 21 . The open end on the side of the web section 21 represents the leg opening 23. The open end on the side facing away from the web section 21 represents the end section 24 with which the attachment section 22 can be detachably attached to the upper part 1.

In the dressed state, the upper body 1 covers the torso of the infant. A neck of the infant extends through the head opening 12 and arms of the infant extend through each arm opening 15. Further, the legs of the infant are passed through the attachment portion 22 from the side of the end portion 24 of the attachment portion 22 and the attachment portion 22 over the abdomen area 13 of the upper part 1 turned over. The web portion 21 abuts between the infant's legs at the infant's waist area. In order to adapt to body size, the attachment section 22 can be shifted to different extents on the stomach area 13 of the upper part 1 in the direction of the head and shoulder area 11 .

The attachment section 22 is made of a textile material, in particular an elastic material. As a result, the fastening section 22 can also be used in the in 1A illustrated embodiment basically in one Cylinder deviating shapes are deformed. In particular, the fastening section 22 can be laid flat.

The length of the open end portion 24 of the attachment portion 22 is in 1A illustrated embodiment is shorter than the length of the peripheral edge 14 of the upper part 1. Thus, putting the end section 24 over the peripheral edge 14 of the upper part 1 requires an elastic deformation of the fastening section 22. Due to the elastic deformation, the bending over the stomach section of the upper part 1 takes place a frictional connection of fastening section 22 and upper part 1.

Fastening section 22 and upper part 1 are connected via a substantially trapezoidal web section 21 . The longer base side of the trapezium is connected to the peripheral edge 14 of the upper part 1 in a back area of the upper part 1, for example sewn. The shorter of the two base times of the trapezoid is attached to a portion of a rim running around the leg opening 23 of the attachment portion 22 . These parts can also be sewn, for example.

the 1B until 1D each show a further embodiment of the proposed item of clothing, the upper part 1 being opposite that in FIG 1A illustrated embodiment is configured differently.

At the in 1B illustrated embodiment, the head opening 12 of the upper part 1 is designed essentially as a round opening. The upper part 1 thus has a round collar in the area of the head opening 12 on a front side and a back side of the upper part 1 .

In 1C the collar of the upper part 1 is designed as a button collar in the front area. Accordingly, the collar has a button section and a buttonhole section, the button section being releasably attachable to the headhole section via buttons. A size of the head opening 12 can thus be variable by attaching to the buttonhole portion or detaching the button portion from the buttonhole portion to facilitate donning and/or doffing.

1D shows a further embodiment in which the upper part is designed as a winding body.

In yet other embodiments that deviate from the illustrated embodiments, the upper part 1 can be designed without sleeves or with short sleeves and/or with a shape that deviates from the jacket-like basic structure shown.

2 shows an alternative embodiment of the proposed solution, in which, in contrast to the 1A illustrated embodiment, the connecting section 141 is arranged between the web section 21 and the upper part 1 on the front side of the upper part 1 . When tightening the in 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the web section 21 thus comes to lie on a front side of the hip area of the small child before the fastening section 22 is slipped over the stomach area 13 .

3 shows a further modification of the proposed solution, the illustrated embodiment differing from that in 1A embodiment shown has a plurality of friction surfaces 242. The essentially rectangular friction surfaces 242 are arranged both on an inner side 241 of the tubular fastening section 22 in the vicinity of the end section 24 and in the belly area 13 of the upper part 1 .

In alternative configurations of the proposed item of clothing, both the number of vineyards and their arrangement compared to the 3 illustrated embodiment can be varied. In particular, the item of clothing can have only one friction surface 242 which is arranged as a circumferential band on the inside 241 of the fastening section 22 . However, for example, the entire inner side 241 of the fastening section 22 can also be designed as a friction surface 242, for example by means of a rubber coating.

4 shows another embodiment of the proposed solution, in which, in contrast to that in 1A illustrated embodiment, the item of clothing has a plurality of form-fitting elements 243. In this case, the form-fitting elements 243 are arranged both on the inside 241 of the attachment section 22 and in the stomach area 13 of the upper part 1 , in particular in the vicinity of the sides of the upper part 1 .

In an exemplary embodiment, the positive-locking elements 243 can be hook-and-loop constructions or Velcro fasteners or elements with a similar effect that are suitable for producing a positive locking between the fastening section 22 and the upper part 1 .

In principle, the form-fitting elements 243 can be divided into pairs of a first type of form-fitting element 243 and a second type of form-fitting element 243 . The first type be set up to come into operative connection with the second type for producing a form fit. For example, the first type can be a hook and the second type can be an eyelet.

in the in 4 In the illustrated embodiment, two form-locking elements 243 of the first type are arranged on the fastening section 22 and two groups of three form-locking elements of the second type are arranged on the upper part 1. The arrangement of the positive-locking elements 243 on the upper part 1 with different distances relative to the peripheral edge 14 makes it possible, in particular, to fasten the fastening section 22 to the upper part 1 in different positions with a positive fit. The item of clothing can be adapted to different body sizes of the small child by fastening it in different positions.

In principle, in the embodiments deviating from the embodiment shown, the attachment section 22 can be configured in shapes deviating from a cylinder. In particular, the length of a peripheral edge around the leg opening 23 and the length of the peripheral edge of the end section 24 can be of different lengths.

The fastening section 22 can thus be designed, for example, in the form of a truncated cone. Furthermore, instead of one leg opening 23, the attachment section 22 can be formed with two leg openings. For this purpose, for example, the leg opening 23 can be divided into two openings by a web element.

In other alternative embodiments, the web section 21 can also deviate from the essentially trapezoidal basic shape shown here. In particular, the ratio of the length of the connecting section 141 to the length of the peripheral edge 14 of the upper part 1 can vary. In some embodiments, the web portion 21 may be connected to the peripheral edge 14 at a plurality of spaced apart locations.

5A shows a first position when putting on an embodiment of the proposed item of clothing with a schematic representation of the legs of the toddler. In the first position shown, the upper part 1 rests against the torso of the small child, which is not shown. Both of the toddler's legs protrude from the peripheral edge 14 of the upper part 1 in a spread position.

For tightening, the fastening section 22 must first be pivoted about a longitudinal axis L22 of the fastening section 22 in accordance with the arrow shown below the fastening section 22 . Further, the infant's legs are pivoted from being spread as shown by the arrows to being substantially parallel. This allows the legs to be passed through the open end portion 24 of the attachment portion 22, feet first. As a result, the feet extend through the cylindrical mounting portion 22 and protrude through the leg opening 23 side thereof.

This intermediate position when getting dressed is in 5B shown. The web portion 21 comes to rest between the two substantially parallel legs. By moving the fastening section 22 along the illustrated arrow in the direction of the head-shoulder area 11, the fastening section 22 can be brought into contact with the stomach area 13 of the upper part 1 for fastening to the upper part 1.

As in 5C shown, the web section 21 is displaced between the legs of the small child in the direction of the hips. 5C shows a position in which the upper end portion 24 of the attachment portion 22 is flush with the peripheral edge 14 of the upper part 1. The detachable attachment of the attachment section 22 to the upper part 1 has not yet taken place in this position.

Thus, the attachment section 22 must be further displaced along the arrow shown in the direction of the head-shoulder area 11 until the attachment section 22 at least partially overlaps with the upper part 1 .

5D shows one position after the fastening section 22 has been detachably fastened to the upper part 1. The web section 21 rests against the hip region of the small child and, depending on the shape, can promote a squat spread position.

A waist height H of the item of clothing is defined by moving the fastening section 22 relative to the upper part 1 . The rise H is variable to adapt to different body sizes.

In alternative embodiments, the fastening section 22 can also be fastened to the upper part 1 in a form-fitting manner.
