Description

Die Erfindung macht Bekleidungsstücke mit flächigem, flexi­blem, druckstabilem Ventilationsschichtmaterial gemäß Anspruch 1 verfügbar.The invention makes items of clothing available with flat, flexible, pressure-stable ventilation layer material according to claim 1.

Man kommt häufig mit atmungsinaktiven oder atmungsschwachen Materialien direkt oder indirekt in Berührung, was an der entsprechenden Körperstelle zur Bildung von Schweißfeuch­tigkeit führt.You often come into direct or indirect contact with breathable or weak breathable materials, which leads to the formation of sweat at the corresponding part of the body.

Als erstes Beispiel seien Regenjacken oder Regenmäntel mit einer wasser- und luftdichten Außenschicht betrachtet. Solche Bekleidungsstücke sind häufig mit einem Textilfutter ausgekleidet. Mangels Luft- und Wasserdurchlässigkeit der Außenschicht des Bekleidungsstückes kann die Feuchtigkeit nicht nach außen entweichen, sondern wird vom Futter aufge­nommen. Da das Futter wegen der Luftundurchlässigkeit der Außenschicht des Bekleidungsstückes nicht belüftet wird, kann das Futter nicht trocknen, sondern wird schweißfeucht, was zu einem unangenehmen Tragegefühl führt und Kältegefühl hervorruft.The first example is rain jackets or raincoats with a waterproof and airtight outer layer. Such items of clothing are often lined with a textile lining. If the outer layer of the garment is not permeable to air and water, the moisture cannot escape to the outside, but is absorbed by the lining. Since the lining is not ventilated due to the air impermeability of the outer layer of the item of clothing, the lining cannot dry, but becomes sweaty, which leads to an uncomfortable feeling and causes a feeling of cold.

Als zweites Beispiel seien Hüte, Helme und Mützen betrach­tet, die mit luftundurchlässiger Außenschicht versehen sind. Auch in diesem Fall entsteht während des Tragens Schweißfeuchtigkeit, die nicht nach außen abgegeben werden kann, sondern zum Feuchtwerden des am Kopf anliegenden Bereichs des Hutes, des Helms oder der Mütze führt. Auch in diesem Fall ergeben sich wieder unangenehme Trageeigen­ schaften, insbesondere ein Kältegefühl.A second example is hats, helmets and hats that are provided with an air-impermeable outer layer. In this case, too, perspiration moisture arises during wear, which cannot be released to the outside, but instead leads to the area of the hat, helmet or hat lying against the head becoming damp. In this case, too, uncomfortable wearing habits arise again , especially a feeling of cold.

In allen diesen und ähnlichen weiteren Fällen kann Abhilfe durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausstattung mit Ventilations­schichtmaterial geschaffen werden. Dadurch, daß dieses Ventilationsschichtmaterial in Längsrichtung leitende Luftkanäle und damit in Verbindung stehende und in Quer­richtung bis zu mindestens einer seiner Oberflächen rei­chende Luftkanäle aufweist, kann Luft an alle mit dem Ventilationsschichtmaterial ausgekleideten Bereiche heran­kommen. Dadurch kann Schwitzfeuchtigkeit verdunsten und abgeführt werden. Die Ventilationswirkung wird häufig dadurch erhöht, daß das mit dem Ventilationsschichtmaterial versehene Bekleidungsstück während seiner Benutzung häufig bewegt wird, was in dem Ventilationsschichtmaterial zu einer Pumpwirkung führt, durch welche das Ventilationsver­halten erhöht wird.In all of these and similar other cases, remedial measures can be taken by providing ventilation layer material according to the invention. Characterized in that this ventilation layer material in the longitudinal direction conductive air channels and associated and in the transverse direction up to at least one of its surfaces reaching air channels, air can reach all areas lined with the ventilation layer material. This allows sweat moisture to evaporate and dissipate. The ventilation effect is often increased by the fact that the item of clothing provided with the ventilation layer material is frequently moved during its use, which leads to a pumping effect in the ventilation layer material, by means of which the ventilation behavior is increased.

Die Ausrichtung des Ventilationsschichtmaterials ist zweck­mäßigerweise derart, daß die Längsluftleitkanäle am Beklei­dungsstück entlang zu einem offenen oder nicht am Körper anliegenden Bereich des Bekleidungsstückes gerichtet sind, während die Querluftleitkanäle zur Körperfläche hin gerich­tet sind.The orientation of the ventilation layer material is expediently such that the longitudinal air guide channels are directed along the clothing item to an open or non-body area of the clothing item, while the transverse air guide channels are directed toward the body surface.

Das Ventilationsschichtmaterial kann gänzlich verschieden strukturiert sein, beispielsweise offenporig, rippenartig, genoppt, mit Stegen versehen, netzartig dreidimensional oder dergleichen. Wichtig ist nur, daß dabei Längsluftleit­kanäle und mit diesen in Verbindung stehende Querluftleit­ kanäle bis zu mindestens einer Oberfläche hin entstehen. Anwendungsmöglichkeiten des erfindungsgemäßen Ventilations­schichtmaterials sind insbesondere Strümpfe, Hüte, Mützen, Regenmäntel, Regenjacken und Regenhosen.The ventilation layer material can be structured entirely differently, for example open-pore, rib-like, nubbed, provided with webs, three-dimensional in a network or the like. It is only important that longitudinal air ducts and transverse air ducts connected to them channels up to at least one surface. Applications of the ventilation layer material according to the invention are in particular stockings, hats, caps, raincoats, rain jackets and rain pants.

Bei vielen Bekleidungsstücken kann es schon zu einer erheb­lichen Verbesserung der Tragfähigkeit führen, wenn sie nur teilweise mit dem Ventilationsschichtmaterial ausgekleidet sind, beispielsweise bei Regenmänteln im Schulterbereich, bei Regenhosen im Knie-, Bund- und Schrittbereich, bei Hüten, Helmen und Mützen im Kopfberührungsbereich, bei Strümpfen im Sohlen- und Fußbereich.With many items of clothing, it can already lead to a considerable improvement in the load-bearing capacity if they are only partially lined with the ventilation layer material, for example in raincoats in the shoulder area, in rain pants in the knee, waistband and crotch area, in hats, helmets and hats in the area of head contact, for stockings in the sole and foot area.

Neben der Ventilationswirkung hat das Ventilationsschicht­material noch weitere Vorteile. Ein solcher Vorteil ist die Polsterwirkung, die beispielsweise im Fall von Hüten, Hel­men und Mützen sehr angenehm sein kann. Ein anderer Vorteil ist die Erzielung einer flexiblen Versteifung zur Verhin­derung von Lappigkeit beispielsweise einer Mütze, die dann besser ihre gewünschte Form einhält.In addition to the ventilation effect, the ventilation layer material has other advantages. One such advantage is the cushioning effect, which can be very pleasant in the case of hats, helmets and hats, for example. Another advantage is the achievement of a flexible stiffening to prevent lumpiness, for example a hat, which then better maintains its desired shape.

Das Ventilationsschichtmaterial soll in gewissem Umfang druckstabil sein. Das heißt, es soll bei der Druckbelastung, die bei normaler Verwendung des mit dem Ventilations­schichtmaterial versehenen Bekleidungsstückes auftritt, seine Ventilationsfunktion nicht verlieren. Das heißt, bei einem solchen Normalbelastungsdruck sollen die Luftkanäle noch soweit ihre Form bewahren, daß sie noch ausreichend Ventilationsluft leiten können.To a certain extent, the ventilation layer material should be pressure-stable. This means that it should not lose its ventilation function under the pressure load which occurs during normal use of the item of clothing provided with the ventilation layer material. This means that at such a normal loading pressure, the air ducts should retain their shape to such an extent that they can still conduct sufficient ventilation air.

Das Ventilationsschichtmaterial kann aus geeignetem Kunststoff hergestellt sein.
Beispiele hierfür sind Polyamid, Polypropylen und Polyester, in Monofilamentform oder in Multifilamentform, gewebt oder geraschelt, oder auch in Form von retikuliertem Schaumstoff aus derartigem Material.The ventilation layer material can be made of a suitable plastic.
Examples include polyamide, polypropylene and polyester, in monofilament or multifilament form, woven or knitted, or in the form of reticulated foam made from such a material.

Das erfindungsgemäße Ventilationsschichtmaterial eignet sich auch besonders gut in Kombination mit einer wasserun­durchlässigen und wasserdampfdurchlässigen mikroporösen Funktionsschicht, wie sie in jüngerer Zeit für wasserdichte aber dennoch atmungsaktive Bekleidungsstücke verwendet wird. Eine solche Funktionsschicht eröffnet zwar die Mög­lichkeit, daß Körperfeuchtigkeit durch die Funktionsschicht hindurch abgeführt werden kann. Wenn sich aber jenseits der Funktionsschicht nur luftundurchlässiges Material befindet, kann diese Feuchtigkeit nicht weitergeführt werden und staut sich somit, was dazu führen kann, daß die Körper­feuchtigkeit nicht vom Körper weggeführt wird. Ordnet man aber zwischen der vom Körper abgewandten Seite der Funk­tionsschicht und dem luftundurchlässigen Außenmaterial erfindungsgemäß Ventilationsschichtmaterial an, wird die Luftzufuhr zur Außenseite der Funktionsschicht ermöglicht und in Folge der Ventilationswirkung die Körperfeuchtigkeit abgeführt.The ventilation layer material according to the invention is also particularly suitable in combination with a water-impermeable and water vapor-permeable microporous functional layer, as has recently been used for waterproof but nevertheless breathable clothing items. Such a functional layer opens up the possibility that body moisture can be dissipated through the functional layer. If, however, there is only air-impermeable material beyond the functional layer, this moisture cannot be carried on and thus builds up, which can lead to the body moisture not being carried away from the body. However, if ventilation layer material is arranged between the side of the functional layer facing away from the body and the air-impermeable outer material according to the invention, the air supply to the outside of the functional layer is made possible and the body moisture is removed as a result of the ventilation effect.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 12 angegeben.Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in claims 2 to 12.

Die Erfindung wird nun anhand von Ausführungsformen näher erläutert. In den Zeichnungen zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Ventilationsschichtmaterials;
  • Fig. 2 eine schematische, ausschnittsweise Querschnitt­darstellung durch den Schichtenaufbau eines Regen­mantels; und
  • Fig. 3 eine schmatische ausschnittsweise Querschnitts­darstellung eines Hutes.
The invention will now be explained in more detail by means of embodiments. The drawings show:
  • 1 shows an embodiment of a ventilation layer material according to the invention;
  • 2 shows a schematic, partial cross-sectional representation through the layer structure of a raincoat; and
  • Fig. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional representation of a hat.

In Fig. 1 ist in schematischer, stark vergrößerter Weise ein Ausführungsbeispiel für ein erfindungsgemäß verwendba­res Ventilationsschichtmaterial dargestellt. Dabei bilden je drei deltaförmig gebündelte Längsstege 13 einen Ab­standshalter 11. Eine Vielzahl im wesentlichen parallel und mit Abstand voneinander angeordneter Abstandshalter 11 ist auf ihrer Unterseite mittels einer Vielzahl von bezüglich der Abstandshalter 11 quer verlaufenden, im Abstand vonein­ander angeordneten und im wesentlichen parallel zueinander verlaufenden Querstegen 17 verbunden. Die Zwischenräume zwischen je zwei benachbarten Abstandshaltern 11 bilden Längsluftleitkanäle 19. Damit in Verbindung stehen Quer­luftleitkanäle 21, 23, wobei die Querluftleitkanäle 23 ebenfalls durch die Zwischenräume zwischen den Abstandshal­tern 11 gebildet sind und durch die Längsluftleitkanäle 19 strömende Luft zu der in Fig. 1 oberhalb der Abstandshalter 11 befindlichen Ebene leiten. Die Querluftleitkanäle 21 sind durch die Zwischenräume zwischen den Querstegen 17 gebildet und leiten durch die Längsluftleitkanäle 19 strö­ mende Luft zu der in Fig. 1 unteren Seite des Ventilations­schichtmaterials. Feuchtigkeit, die sich unterhalb oder oberhalb des Ventilationsschichtmaterials bildet, kann über die Querluftleitkanäle 21 oder 23 und die Längsluftleit­kanäle 19 abgeführt werden.1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a ventilation layer material that can be used according to the invention in a schematic, greatly enlarged manner. In this case, three delta-shaped bundled longitudinal webs 13 each form a spacer 11. A plurality of spacers 11, which are arranged essentially parallel and at a distance from one another, are provided on their underside by means of a plurality of transverse webs which run transversely with respect to the spacers 11, are spaced apart and essentially parallel to one another 17 connected. The spaces between two adjacent spacers 11 form longitudinal air guiding channels 19. Connected therewith are transverse air guiding channels 21, 23, wherein the transverse air guiding channels 23 are likewise formed by the spaces between the spacers 11 and air flowing through the longitudinal air guiding channels 19 to that in FIG. 1 above that Guide spacer 11 located level. The cross air guide channels 21 are formed by the spaces between the cross bars 17 and flow through the longitudinal air guide channels 19 air to the lower side of the ventilation layer material in FIG. 1. Moisture that forms below or above the ventilation layer material can be removed via the transverse air guide channels 21 or 23 and the longitudinal air guide channels 19.

Eine schematische, ausschnittsweise Querschnittsdar­stellung des Schichtenaufbaus eines Regenmantels ist in Fig. 2 gezeigt. Von der Außenseite zur Körperseite weist der Regenmantel ein wasserdichtes, wasserdampfundurch­lässiges Außenmaterial 31, ein Ventilationsschichtmaterial 3 und ein Futtermaterial 33 auf. Das Ventilationsschicht­material 3 ist so orientiert, daß seine Längsleitluft­kanäle zu einem freien Ende oder Endbereich des Regen­mantels führen oder mindestens zu einem Bereich des Regenmantels, der bei normalem Tragen nicht am Körper an­liegt. Die damit in Verbindung stehenden Querluftleit­kanäle sind zum Futtermaterial 33 und damit zur Körper­seite hin gerichtet.A schematic, partial cross-sectional representation of the layer structure of a raincoat is shown in FIG. 2. From the outside to the body side, the raincoat has a waterproof, water vapor-impermeable outer material 31, a ventilation layer material 3 and a lining material 33. The ventilation layer material 3 is oriented in such a way that its longitudinal air ducts lead to a free end or end region of the raincoat or at least to an area of the raincoat that is not in contact with the body during normal wear. The associated transverse air guide channels are directed towards the lining material 33 and thus towards the body side.

Vorzugsweise wird man den Schulter-, Brust- und Rückenbe­reich eines Regenmantels mit Ventilationsschichtmaterial 3 auskleiden. Vorteilhaft kann es aber auch sein, das Ventilationsschichtmaterial 3 auf der Rückseite des Mantels zu seinem unteren Ende zu führen. Damit wird erreicht, daß für den Fall, daß der Regenmantel im Sitzen getragen wird, die Ventilatonsfunktion für alle Körperteile gegeben ist, an welche der Regenmantel beim Sitzen in einem Sitz ge­drückt wird.The shoulder, chest and back area of a raincoat will preferably be lined with ventilation layer material 3. However, it can also be advantageous to guide the ventilation layer material 3 to its lower end on the back of the jacket. This ensures that in the event that the raincoat is worn while sitting, the ventilation function is given for all parts of the body to which the raincoat is pressed while sitting in a seat.

Fig. 3 zeigt in schematischer, ausschnittsweiser Schnitt­darstellung einen Hut, der mit Ventilationsschichtmaterial versehen ist. Der Hut weist ein Hutaußenmaterial 35 auf, das in üblicher Weise auf der Innenseite mit einem Stirn­band 37 versehen ist. Zwischen dem Hutaußenmaterial 35 und dem Stirnband 37 befindet sich ein Ventilationsschicht­material 33, das so orientiert ist, daß die Längsluftleit­kanäle parallel zum Hutaußenmaterial verlaufen und die damit in Verbindung stehenden Querluftleitkanäle zum Stirnband 37 und damit zum Kopf des Hutträgers gerichtet sind.Fig. 3 shows a schematic, sectional sectional view of a hat, which is provided with ventilation layer material. The hat has a hat outer material 35, which is provided in the usual way on the inside with a headband 37. Between the outer hat material 35 and the headband 37 there is a ventilation layer material 33 which is oriented such that the longitudinal air guide channels run parallel to the outer hat material and the associated transverse air guide channels are directed to the headband 37 and thus to the head of the hat wearer.
