Definitions

  • the invention relates to a waterproof garment, in particular a jacket, anorak or a coat, with a textile outer material, a textile lining and a waterproof, water vapor-permeable functional layer arranged in between, and with a releasable closure device serving to open and close the garment with a transition and a step that can only be connected to one another by means of push buttons, which are preferably arranged in at least one parallel row of push buttons.
  • Waterproof garments for the front closure of which only snap fasteners are provided, which releasably hold together a lower step and a transition which overlaps them, are known in the form of rain jackets and raincoats with an outer skin made of rubber or waterproof plastic.
  • water for example rainwater
  • waterproof garments that have a waterproof but water vapor permeable functional layer between textile outer fabric and textile lining, which consist of water-permeable materials, for example made of stretched, microporous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
  • PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
  • a problem area for waterproof garments are closure devices with which the garments can be opened and closed, for example zippers.
  • closure devices On the one hand water can penetrate between the individual teeth of zippers, on the other hand the textile side strips of zippers with which they are sewn onto the fabric of the respective garment are not waterproof.
  • cover strips In the case of waterproof articles of clothing which, when the article of clothing is closed, lie over the zipper or other closure device.
  • cover strips are usually constructed with the same textile material from which the outer material of the garment is made, to give the garment a pleasing look.
  • an intermediate strip can be used, which lies in the closed state of the garment between the closure device and cover strip.
  • FIG. 2 A known example of such a piece of clothing, for example an anorak-like jacket, is shown schematically and in sections in FIG. 2 .
  • the garment has a left garment part 11 and a right garment part 13. Mutually facing ends of the garment parts 11 and 13 can be connected to one another with the aid of a zipper 15 in order to be able to close and open the garment.
  • the zipper 15 is sewn with a left zipper seam 17 and a right zipper seam 19 on the left garment part 11 and right garment part 13, respectively.
  • the intermediate bar 23 has such a width that it covers the zipper 15 and the two zipper seams 17 and 19 in the closed state of the garment.
  • To the right of the right zipper seam 19 there is a cover strip seam 25, by means of which a cover strip 27 is sewn onto the right garment part 13.
  • the cover strip 27 covers the intermediate strip 23 when the item of clothing is closed
  • Textile materials that are used as outer fabrics for items of clothing of the type under consideration are not only water-permeable in their thickness direction, but also enable the water to crawl in its longitudinal direction. If water reaches the outer fabric of the left garment part 11 or the right garment part 13 to the left of the intermediate strip 23 or to the right of the cover strip 27, this can continue along the surface of the outer fabric up to the intermediate strip seam 21 or the cover strip seam 25 and from there to the zipper seams 17 and 19 and to the textile side stripe of the zipper 15 itself. There it can work through the seam holes and along the seam threads located therein through the waterproof, water vapor permeable functional layer located under the outer fabric on the side facing the lining. In order to prevent this at least for the intermediate strip seam 21 and the cover strip seam 25, these are sealed on the side of the functional layer that is remote from the outer fabric with welding tapes 29. The water cannot reach the feed at these points.
  • this known construction Apart from the fact that with this known construction there is still the possibility that water that has struck the outside of the garment penetrates to the lining, this known construction is relatively complex and correspondingly cost-intensive.
  • the closure according to the invention does not require a zipper or the cover and intermediate strips to be sewn on separately, so that the corresponding seams and the sweatbands used to seal them are also eliminated.
  • the cut ends of the upper step and lower step are appropriately sewn like a wrap, which also applies to corresponding parts of the known closure construction, no further seams are required in the solution according to the invention.
  • the upper step material and the lower step material only need to be folded in the desired manner and the folds fixed with the snap fasteners.
  • the closure structure according to the invention is thus obviously much less complex and much cheaper to manufacture than the known closure solution.
  • a transition 33 overlaps a step 35.
  • the material of the transition 33 is folded into a U-shaped pocket 37 which is open towards the step 35 and into which the step 35 extends.
  • An upper U-leg 39 and a lower U-leg 41 of the pocket 37 are each formed by a double layer of the transition material.
  • the transition material at a free transition end 43 directed towards the underflow 35 is initially kicked back in the opposite direction and then, with the formation of the U-web 45, is again pushed forward toward the free transition end 43. From this point, which is located at the free end 47 of the lower U-leg 41, the transition material is then pushed back towards the U-web 45.
  • the free, cut end of the transfer material facing away from the undercut 35 is formed by folding over several times to form a transfer wrap 49 and fixed in the wrap shape by means of a transfer wrap seam 51.
  • the underlay 35 is also formed in two layers by folding.
  • the underlay material is on itself at the free end facing the U-web 45 of the transition 33 struck back.
  • the double-layer underlay 35 is folded back onto itself in the form of a J from its free end directed towards the U-web 45.
  • the lower step 35 is thereby formed from four layers of the lower step material.
  • step wrap 53 The cut end of the step material lying away from the U-web 45 is folded over to form a step wrap 53 and fixed in this wrap shape by means of a step wrap seam 55.
  • each double push button 57 has two push button outer parts 59 and one push button middle part 61.
  • the two outer push button parts 59 are each connected to one of the two U-legs 39 and 41 of the transition 33.
  • the middle part of the push button 61 is connected to the area of the lower part 35 located between the two U-legs 39 and 41.
  • the push button middle part 31 is provided on both sides with a protruding locking element.
  • the two push button outer parts 59 are provided on their sides facing the push button middle part 31 with complementary receiving catch elements 65.
  • the free ends of the transfer material which are closed with the transfer wrap 49 or the underflow wrap 53 or the underlay material protrude so far from the row of press studs that they can be used as fastening tabs 67 or 69 for releasably fastening, for example, a winter lining (not shown) which can be removed from the garment.
  • fastening tabs 67 or 69 for releasably fastening, for example, a winter lining (not shown) which can be removed from the garment.
  • zip fastener parts, Velcro fastener parts, buttons, snap fasteners or other fastening elements can be arranged on the fastening tabs 67, 69.
  • the lower U-leg 41 is made in two layers in that the free end of the transition material, which forms the fastening tab 67, is knocked outside the U-opening of the U-shaped pocket 37.
  • the free end of the transition material is not required as a fastening tab, it can also be knocked into the U opening.
  • the folded layers of transition 33 and underflow 35 are held in their fold solely by the double push buttons 57. So no seams and seam holes are required to fix these folds.
  • the material of the transition 33 and the material of the bottom 35 each have three layers: a textile upper material, a textile lining and in between a waterproof, water vapor-permeable functional layer, for example made of stretched and thereby microporous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
  • PTFE microporous polytetrafluoroethylene
  • the functional layer perforated by them is watertight sealed. Water could therefore only get to the inside of the garment by moving along the surface of the upper of the transition 33 or the lower 35. This water would have to overcome a long creepage distance to get to the inside of the garment. Water coming from the upper material of the transition 33 would have to overcome twice the length of the upper U-leg 39 and the entire length of the lower U-leg 41. Water that crawls along the surface of the upper surface of the bottom 35 would have to overcome the length of the U-legs 39 and 41 and the additional length due to the J-shaped wedge.
  • this low residual risk of water creeping up to the inside of the garment is further considerably reduced by the fact that at least one of the two U-legs 39 and 41 on an inner layer and one each on the opposite side of the bottom 35 sealing strip (not shown in the drawing) is attached, the sealing strips running parallel to the row of press studs and preferably lying one above the other when the garment is closed. In this way, an overlap of water from the upper material of the transition 33 becomes the upper material of the lower step 35 and hindered in the opposite direction.
  • Such sealing strips are preferably formed by a two-layer sealing tape, one layer of which consists of PTFE and the other of which consists of an adhesive. Such sealing tapes are known per se.
  • the upper material, the functional layer and the lining can be loosely attached to one another.
  • two or all of these three material layers can also be connected to form a two-layer or three-layer laminate.
