Abstract

The elastic belt (1) is made of a stretchable web material (2), the warp threads (5) of which vary in their elasticity. By this means, zones (7, 8, 9) of different stretching characteristics can be provided in the longitudinal direction of the elastic belt (1) without additional effort being required in terms of manufacture or the appearance being considerably changed. If the warp threads (5) in the zone (9) of the elastic belt (1) located in the region of the hip bones are less stretchable than the warp threads (5a) in the vicinity of the opposite longitudinal edge (3), reduced forces are transmitted to the elastic belt (1) by the hip bones during movement and thus displacement of the elastic belt (1) is avoided during use. No additional manufacturing effort is required for this improvement in fit. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Nierenschutzgurt in Form eines Stretchgurtes aus Stretchbandmaterial, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs l.The invention relates to a kidney protection belt in the form of a stretch belt made of stretch band material, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein solcher Nierenschutzgurt ist aus dem DE-GM 85 2l 376 bekannt. Der wesentliche Gedanke der dortigen Erfindung besteht darin, durch selektiv angebrachte Aussteifungsteile im Bereich der Gurtlängsränder unterschiedliche Dehnungscharakteristiken des Stretchgurtes zu erzielen. Hierzu reichen die Aussteifungsteile entweder nicht über die gesamte Breite des Nierenschutzgurtes, so daß sie nur einen Randbereich aussteifen und in seiner elastischen Dehnbarkeit behindern, oder sie weisen zum benachbarten Gurtlängsrand hin offene Ausnehmungen auf, welche die Dehnbarkeit dieses Randbereiches verbessern. Durch die unterschiedliche Dehnungscharakteristik über die Breite des Nierenschutzgurtes paßt sich der Stretchgurt an die unterschiedlichen Körperumfänge im Gesäß- oder Bauchbereich des Trägers an; durch die so verbesserte Paßform des Stretchgurtes werden die Kräfte, die den Stretchgurt bei Körperbewegungen nach oben verschieben, vermindert.Such a kidney protection belt is known from DE-GM 85 2l 376. The main idea of the invention there is to achieve different stretching characteristics of the stretch belt by means of selectively attached stiffening parts in the area of the longitudinal edges of the belt. For this purpose, the stiffening parts either do not extend over the entire width of the kidney protection belt, so that they only stiffen an edge area and hinder its elastic extensibility, or they have open recesses towards the adjacent longitudinal edge of the belt, which improve the extensibility of this edge area. Due to the different expansion characteristics over the The width of the kidney protection belt adapts to the different body sizes in the buttocks or abdomen area of the wearer; The improved fit of the stretch belt reduces the forces that move the stretch belt upwards when the body moves.

Diese technische Lehre hat sich auch durchaus bewährt und breiten Eingang in die Praxis gefunden. Jedoch erfordert die Herstellung eines solchen Stretchgurtes ausgehend von einem üblichen Stretchband nicht unerheblichen Zusatzaufwand, da eine Mehrzahl von Aussteifungsteilen zusätzlich aufgenäht und gegebenenfalls zusätzliche Einschnitte vorgenommen werden müssen. Weiterhin treten die Mittel zur Verbesserung der Paßform in Form der Aussteifungsteile optisch zwangsläufig in Erscheinung und beeinflussen den ästethischen Eindruck des Stretchgurtes in einer Weise, die vielleicht nicht bei allen Motorradfahrern ungeteilte Zustimmung findet. Dies gilt insbesondere dann, wenn durch eine relativ große Anzahl von relativ kleinen Aussteifungsteilen gewissermaßen eine Feinjustage der sich ergebenden Paßform erzielt werden soll.This technical teaching has also proven itself and has been widely used in practice. However, the production of such a stretch belt starting from a conventional stretch band requires considerable additional effort, since a plurality of stiffening parts are additionally sewn on and additional incisions may have to be made. Furthermore, the means for improving the fit appear inevitably in the form of the stiffening parts and influence the aesthetic impression of the stretch belt in a way that may not be approved by all motorcycle riders. This applies in particular if a fine adjustment of the resulting fit is to be achieved to a certain extent by a relatively large number of relatively small stiffening parts.

Demgegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, die verbesserte Paßform eines Stretchgurtes der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs l angegebenen Gattung durch geringeren Herstellungsaufwand zu erreichen und dabei zugleich den ästethischen Eindruck gegenüber einem üblichen Stretchgurt möglichst wenig zu verändern und die Paßform möglichst noch weiter zu verbessern.In contrast, the invention has for its object to achieve the improved fit of a stretch belt of the type specified in the preamble of claim l by lower manufacturing costs and at the same time to change the aesthetic impression as little as possible compared to a conventional stretch belt and to improve the fit as much as possible.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs l.The solution to this problem results from the characterizing features of claim 1.

Dadurch, daß die in Umfangsrichtung des Stretchgurtes liegenden Fäden des Stretchbandmateriales unterschiedliche Elastizitätseigenschaften aufweisen, läßt sich jede gewünschte Einstellung der Dehnungscharakteristik über die Höhe des Stretchgurtes erzielen. Im Extremfall könnte mit einer sehr großen Anzahl unterschiedlich elastischer Fäden gearbeitet und so die Dehnungscharakteristik über die Höhe des Stretchgurtes nach Belieben beeinflußt werden. Da diese Beeinflussung der Dehnungscharakteristik lediglich durch die Wahl der elastischen Härte oder "Federkennlinie" der Fäden erzielt wird, braucht sich gegenüber üblichen Stretchgurten überhaupt kein Unterschied im Erscheinungsbild zu ergeben, mit Ausnahme eben einer erkennbaren besseren Anpassung an die Körperform. Bei der Herstellung des Stretchbandmateriales, welches sozusagen als Endlosband gefertigt wird, braucht lediglich für die jeweiligen Längsfäden ein geeigneter Faden gewählt zu werden.Characterized in that the threads of the stretch band material lying in the circumferential direction of the stretch belt differ Have elastic properties, any desired setting of the stretching characteristics can be achieved via the height of the stretch belt. In extreme cases, a very large number of different elastic threads could be used and the stretching characteristics could be influenced as desired via the height of the stretch belt. Since this influence on the elongation characteristics is achieved only by the choice of elastic hardness or "spring characteristic" of the threads, there need be no difference in appearance compared to conventional stretch belts, with the exception of a recognizable better adaptation to the body shape. In the production of the stretch band material, which is, so to speak, manufactured as an endless band, it is only necessary to select a suitable thread for the respective longitudinal threads.

Zwar ist es aus der DE-PS 865 346 seit langem bekannt, in Textilmaterial für die Herstellung von Leibbinden, Umstandsgürteln, Hüfthalter oder dergleichen Zonen unterschiedlicher Elastizität dadurch zu erzeugen, daß Fäden unterschiedlicher Elastizität in diesen Zonen verwendet werden. Es handelt sich hier jedoch um die Herstellung formgewirkter Artikel auf Raschelmaschinen, wobei die Formgebung dadurch erzielt wird, daß in die gebildeten Maschenreihen elastische oder unelastische Schußfäden mit einer gewünschten Vorspannung eingebettet werden, um so das Gewirk in Richtung quer zu den Kettfäden unterschiedlich stark zu kontrahieren und in die jeweils gewünschte Form zu bringen. Es werden also quer zur Umfangsrichtung des Gürtels, der Binde oder dergleichen wahlweise unelastische und elastische Fäden in das Gewirk eingebettet, um eine gewünschte Kontur des Randes des Gürtels oder dergleichen und ein unterschiedliches Elastizitätsverhalten bei Zug quer zur Längsrichtung des Gürtels zu erzielen. Die in Umfangsrichtung liegenden Kettfäden sind generell unelastisch oder, wenn ein besonders elastischer Artikel erzielt werden soll, als Gummifäden ausgebildet, weisen jedoch keine unterschiedliche Elastizität auf.It has long been known from DE-PS 865 346 to create zones of different elasticity in textile material for the production of body pads, maternity belts, girdles or the like by using threads of different elasticity in these zones. However, this involves the production of molded articles on Raschel machines, the shape being achieved by embedding elastic or inelastic weft threads with a desired pretension in the rows of stitches formed, so as to contract the knitted fabric to different degrees in the direction transverse to the warp threads and bring it into the desired shape. So there are optionally inelastic and elastic threads embedded in the knitted fabric transversely to the circumferential direction of the belt, the bandage or the like in order to achieve a desired contour of the edge of the belt or the like and a different elasticity behavior when tension is applied transversely to the longitudinal direction of the belt. The warp threads lying in the circumferential direction are generally inelastic or, if one particularly elastic article to be achieved, formed as rubber threads, but have no different elasticity.

Wenn das Stretchbandmaterial, wie an sich üblich, gemäß Anspruch 2 als Stretchgewebe ausgebildet ist, können die Kettfäden die unterschiedliche Elastizität besitzen, und braucht die Webmaschine in der Kette somit lediglich mit unterschiedlichen Fäden zu arbeiten. Eine Erhöhung des Herstellungsaufwandes oder auch nur eine merkliche Beeinflussung des Herstellungsvorganges für das Stretchbandmaterial ergibt sich dadurch nicht, so daß das Stretchbandmaterial, abgesehen vielleicht von der Lagerhaltung einer größeren Anzahl unterschiedlicher Fäden, in der üblichen Weise ohne merklichen Zusatzaufwand gefertigt werden kann. Beim Hersteller des Stretchgurtes aus solchem Stretchbandmaterial ergibt sich überhaupt kein Zusatzaufwand, da er dieses speziell gelieferte Stretchbandmaterial genauso wie übliches Stretchbandmaterial verarbeiten kann, dennoch aber die gewünschte Dehnungscharakteristik und Paßform ohne weiteres Zutun erhält.If, as is customary per se, the stretch band material is designed as a stretch fabric, the warp threads can have different elasticity and the weaving machine in the chain therefore only needs to work with different threads. This does not result in an increase in the manufacturing outlay or even a noticeable influence on the manufacturing process for the stretch band material, so that the stretch band material, apart from perhaps storing a large number of different threads, can be produced in the usual manner without any noticeable additional outlay. The manufacturer of the stretch belt made of such stretch band material does not incur any additional effort at all, since he can process this specially supplied stretch band material in the same way as conventional stretch band material, but still obtains the desired stretch characteristics and fit without further action.

Da die Herstellung des Stretchbandmaterials zwangsläufig unter einer gewissen Längsspannung der später in Umfangsrichtung des Stretchgurtes liegenden Fäden erfolgt, im Falle eines Gewebes also unter Spannung der Kettfäden, die beim Auslauf aus der Produktionsanlage wieder auf die ursprüngliche Länge zurückzuspringen suchen, ergibt sich ein weiterer vorteilhafter Effekt dadurch, daß bei unbelastetem Stretchgurt die Erfindung daran sichtbar ist, daß der Stretchgurt eine nicht exakt zylindrische Form einnimmt, sondern vielmehr zum Beispiel leicht konisch ausgebildet ist, da die Fäden mit unterschiedlichen Federkräften vorliegen. Auf diese Weise läßt sich ein erfindungsgemäßer Gurt von einem konventionellen Gurt etwa beim Angebot im Ladengeschäft ohne weiteres unterscheiden, während er bei Benutzung keine auffallenden Unterschiede im Aussehen zu normalen Stretchgurten zeigt.Since the production of the stretch band material inevitably takes place under a certain longitudinal tension of the threads later lying in the circumferential direction of the stretch belt, in the case of a fabric, therefore, under tension of the warp threads, which try to spring back to the original length when they leave the production system, there is a further advantageous effect characterized in that when the stretch belt is not loaded, the invention is visible in that the stretch belt does not assume an exactly cylindrical shape, but rather is, for example, slightly conical, since the threads are present with different spring forces. In this way, a belt according to the invention can easily be distinguished from a conventional belt, for example when it is offered in a retail store, while it does not show any noticeable differences when used shows the appearance of normal stretch belts.

Zwar ist es aus der DE-OS 2l 50 370 bekannt, schmale Gewebebänder z.B. für Trägerbänder für Büstenhalter oder Hüfthalter mit Abschnitten unterschiedlicher Elastizität zu verwenden. Jedoch liegen diese Abschnitte in Längsrichtung des Gewebebandes hintereinander. Die Kettfäden des Gewebebandes bestehen sämtlich aus demselben elastischen Garn, welches zur Erzielung elastischer Längenabschnitte mit geringer Spannung und zur Erzielung unelastischer Längenabschnitte mit größtmöglicher Spannung verwoben wird. In den unelastischen Längenabschnitten legen die dicht beieinanderliegenden Schußfäden die stark gedehnten Kettfäden in ihrem nicht weiter dehnbaren Zustand fest, während in den elastischen Längenabschnitten eine Dehnung der Kettfäden unter gegenseitiger Abstandsvergrößerung der Schußfäden erfolgen kann. In Querrichtung des Bandes liegen in jedem Längenabschnitt die gleichen Kettfäden im gleichen Dehnzustand vor, so daß in Querrichtung des Bandes an jeder Stelle gleiche Elastizitätsverhältnisse vorliegen.It is known from DE-OS 2l 50 370, narrow fabric tapes e.g. to be used for straps for bras or girdles with sections of different elasticity. However, these sections lie one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the fabric tape. The warp threads of the fabric tape all consist of the same elastic yarn, which is woven to achieve elastic lengths with low tension and to achieve inelastic lengths with maximum tension. In the inelastic length sections, the closely spaced weft threads fix the strongly stretched warp threads in their no longer stretchable state, while in the elastic length sections the warp threads can be stretched while increasing the spacing of the weft threads. In the transverse direction of the belt, the same warp threads are present in the same stretched state in each longitudinal section, so that the elasticity conditions are the same at all points in the transverse direction of the belt.

Zwar ist es aus der DE-PS 2 77 630 bekannt, auch Kettfäden unterschiedlicher Elastizität zu einem Band zu verweben. Dabei werden in ein an sich unelastisches Baumwollgewebe Gruppen von elastischen Kettfäden eingearbeitet. Die Gruppen von elastischen Kettfäden werden in voll gespanntem Zustand verarbeitet und in elastischen Längenabschnitten wie ein einziger Kettfaden in das Baumwollgewebe locker eingearbeitet, in unelastischen Längenabschnitten hingegen aufgespleißt und einzeln mit den Schußfäden verwoben, und so von diesen in gespanntem Zustand festgelegt. Bei der Entspannung des Gewebebandes ziehen die locker und beweglich eingewobenen Gruppen der elastischen Kettfäden das Baumwollgewebe in dem elastischen Längenabschnitt unter dessen Kräuselung zusammen, raffen diesen also, und schaffen so eine Elastizitätsreserve zum erneuten Dehnen des Gewebes bis zur Flachlage der unelastischen Baumwollkettfäden; über die Flachlage hinaus, wie sie bei Nierenschutzgurten bereits im entspannten Gewebezustand benötigt wird, läßt sich das bekannte Gewebe nicht dehnen.It is known from DE-PS 2 77 630 to also weave warp threads of different elasticity into a band. In doing so, groups of elastic warp threads are worked into an inelastic cotton fabric. The groups of elastic warp threads are processed in the fully tensioned state and loosely incorporated into the cotton fabric in elastic length sections like a single warp thread, on the other hand spliced into inelastic length sections and individually woven with the weft threads, and thus fixed by them in the tensioned state. When the fabric tape is relaxed, the loosely and flexibly woven groups of elastic warp threads pull the cotton fabric together in the elastic length section under its crimp, thus gathering it up, thus creating a reserve of elasticity for stretching the fabric again until the inelastic cotton warp threads lie flat; The known fabric cannot be stretched beyond the flat position, as is already required in kidney protection belts when the fabric is relaxed.

Da vor allem die in der Regel vorstehenden Hüftknochen durch weicher elastisches Material aufgenommen werden sollen, ist gemäß Anspruch 4 bevorzugt, daß die Fäden im Bereich des beim Tragen oberen Randes des Stretchgurtes härter elastisch sind als die Fäden im Bereich des beim Tragen unteren Randes. Hierdurch werden von den Hüftknochen auf den Stretchgurt wirkende Kräfte, die diesen in der bekannten Weise nach oben zu schieben suchen, minimiert, so daß der Stretchgurt sicher sitzt. Wegen weiterer Einzelheiten insoweit und in Bezug auf Einzelheiten der zu wählenden Dehnungscharakteristik wird auf das DE-GM 85 2l 376 ausdrücklich Bezug genommen und verwiesen.Since especially the generally protruding hip bones are supposed to be absorbed by soft elastic material, it is preferred according to claim 4 that the threads in the area of the upper edge of the stretch belt when worn are harder elastic than the threads in the area of the lower edge when worn. This minimizes the forces exerted by the hip bones on the stretch belt, which try to push it upwards in the known manner, so that the stretch belt sits securely. For further details in this regard and in relation to details of the expansion characteristic to be selected, reference is expressly made to and referred to DE-GM 85 2l 376.

Weitere Einzelheiten, Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung einer Ausführungsform anhand der Zeichnung.Further details, features and advantages of the invention result from the following description of an embodiment with reference to the drawing.

Die einzige Figur der Zeichnung zeigt in perspektivischer Darstellung einen Ausriß aus einem zum Ring geschlossenen erfindungsgemäßen Stretchgurt.The only figure in the drawing shows a perspective view of an extract from a stretch belt according to the invention closed to form a ring.

Der insgesamt mit l bezeichnete Stretchgurt, der jenseits des Ausrisses zur Verbesserung der Übersichtlichkeit strichpunktiert schematisch vervollständigt ist, ohne daß Einzelheiten wie der Verschluß etc. angedeutet sind, möge im Beispielsfalle aus Gewebe als Stretchbandmaterial 2 bestehen. Da das Stretchbandmaterial 2 endlos in der Breite des Stretchgurtes l gefertigt ist, besteht es aus zum oberen Umfangsrand 3 und zum unteren Umfangsrand 4 parallel liegenden Kettfäden 5 und senkrecht hierzu liegenden Schußfäden 6.The stretch belt designated overall by l, which is schematically completed in dash-dotted lines beyond the tear-out to improve clarity, without details such as the closure etc. being indicated, may consist of fabric as stretch band material 2 in the example. Since the stretch band material 2 is made endlessly in the width of the stretch belt 1, it consists of warp threads 5 lying parallel to the upper peripheral edge 3 and the lower peripheral edge 4 and lying perpendicular to this Weft 6.

Während die Schußfäden 6 jeweils gleich ausgebildet sein können, also aus gleichem Faden bestehen können, werden für die Kettfäden 5 unterschiedliche Fäden verwendet. Im Beispielsfalle ist der Stretchgurt l bzw. das Stretchbandmaterial 2 in drei Zonen 7, 8 und 9 mit je etwa 7 cm Breite bzw. Höhe senkrecht zu den Längsrändern 3 bzw. 4 gemessen unterteilt, in denen untereinander jeweils gleiche Kettfäden 5a in Zone 7, 5b in Zone 8 und 5c in Zone 9 verarbeitet sind. Die Fäden 5a, 5b und 5c unterscheiden sich hinsichtlich ihrer Elastizitätseigenschaften, so daß die Zonen 7, 8 und 9 in Richtung der Längsränder 3 und 4 des Stretchgurtes l unterschiedliche Dehnungscharakteristik besitzen. Dabei sind im Beispielsfalle die Fäden 5a in der beim Tragen oberen Zone 7 mit höherer Federsteifheit oder Härte ausgebildet, so daß das Stretchbandmaterial 2 im Bereich der Zone 7 für eine bestimmte Dehnung größere Kraftbeaufschlagung benötigt als das Stretchbandmaterial 2 im Bereich der Zone 8 und dieses wieder mehr als das Stretchbandmaterial 2 im Bereich der Zone 9, welches somit schon bei relativ geringen Kräften relativ stark dehnbar ist.While the weft threads 6 can each have the same design, ie can consist of the same thread, 5 different threads are used for the warp threads. In the example, the stretch belt 1 or the stretch band material 2 is divided into three zones 7, 8 and 9, each measuring approximately 7 cm in width or height, measured perpendicular to the longitudinal edges 3 and 4, in which the same warp threads 5a in zone 7, 5b in zone 8 and 5c in zone 9 are processed. The threads 5a, 5b and 5c differ in their elastic properties, so that the zones 7, 8 and 9 have different stretching characteristics in the direction of the longitudinal edges 3 and 4 of the stretch belt 1. In the example, the threads 5a are formed in the upper zone 7 when worn, with higher spring stiffness or hardness, so that the stretch band material 2 in the zone 7 area requires greater force for a certain stretch than the stretch band material 2 in the zone 8 area and this again more than the stretch band material 2 in the area of zone 9, which is therefore relatively extensible even with relatively low forces.

Auf diese Weise wird eine Paßform erreicht, wie sie in der Zeichnung - zur Verbesserung der Anschaulichkeit für den frei liegenden Gurt übertrieben - veranschaulicht ist, wobei im Bereich der Zone 9 die Hüftknochen aufgenommen werden. Neben größerem Tragekomfort ergibt sich hierdurch insbesondere eine Verbesserung des Sitzes des Gurtes dadurch, daß das bekannte Hochschieben des Gurtes bei Bewegungen vermindert oder ganz unterbunden ist. Wegen weiterer Einzelheiten hinsichtlich der auftretenden Effekte wird insbesondere auf das DE-GM 85 2l 376 in vollem Umfange Bezug genommen, wobei weiterhin auch Aussteifungsteile gemäß der dortigen Lehre bei Bedarf zusätzlich eingesetzt werden können, wenn sich dies im Einzelfall als zweckmässig erweisen sollte.In this way, a fit is achieved, as shown in the drawing - exaggerated to improve the clarity of the exposed belt - with the hip bones being recorded in the area of zone 9. In addition to greater wearing comfort, this results in particular in an improvement in the seat of the belt in that the known pushing up of the belt is reduced or completely prevented during movements. For further details regarding the effects occurring, reference is made in full to the DE-GM 85 2l 376 in particular, stiffening parts according to the teaching there also being able to be used if necessary if this is in the Individual case should prove to be appropriate.

Zur Herstellung des Stretchgurtes l braucht gegenüber der Herstellung eines Stretchgurtes aus üblichem Stretchbandmaterial mit ca. 20 cm Breite und überall gleicher Elastizität lediglich im Bereich der Herstellung des Stretchbandmateriales 2 eine Änderung ergriffen werden, während sich beim Gurthersteller selbst keinerlei Änderung des Herstellungsverfahrens gegenüber den üblichen bekannten Stretchgurten ergibt. Auch bei der Herstellung des Stretchbandmateriales 2 braucht lediglich mit den jeweils gewünschten, unterschiedlichen Fäden 5a, 5b und 5c im Schuß gearbeitet zu werden, was keinerlei herstellungstechnische Probleme mit sich bringt. Somit läßt sich der Stretchgurt l mit denselben Methoden und mit demselben Aufwand herstellen wie ein konventioneller Stretchgurt, weist jedoch eine demgegenüber erheblich verbesserte Paßform auf, welche insbesondere das Verschieben des recht breiten Stretchgurtes beim Tragen vermindert oder verhindert.To produce the stretch belt I, compared to the production of a stretch belt from conventional stretch band material with a width of approx. 20 cm and everywhere the same elasticity, a change only needs to be made in the area of the production of the stretch band material 2, while the belt manufacturer itself does not change the production process compared to the usual known ones Stretch belts result. Even in the production of the stretch band material 2, only the different threads 5a, 5b and 5c required in each case need to be worked in the weft, which does not entail any manufacturing problems. The stretch belt 1 can thus be produced with the same methods and with the same outlay as a conventional stretch belt, but has a considerably improved fit, which in particular reduces or prevents the relatively wide stretch belt from shifting when worn.
