Abstract

PCT No. PCT/EP93/01024 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 9, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 9, 1993 PCT Filed Apr. 28, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/01010 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 20, 1994.A bathing wear is made of a net-like knitted fabric printed with contrasting bright colors, composed of 73% nylon and 27% of a polyurethane elastomer. The knitted fabric has a multiplicity of hexagonal mesh openings, which are aligned in rows in three directions. This bathing wear allows about two-thirds of the incident UV radiation of the sun to pass and thus gives rise to full body tanning, without being transparent however even when wet. In addition, the bathing wear is quick-drying and fits the body elastically.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen sonnenlichtdurchlässigen Stoff, insbesondere für Badebekleidung oder Lichtschutzbekleidung, der aus einem tüllartigen, Maschenöffnungen von mindestens 0,2 mm lichter Weite aufweisenden Gewirke mit Polyamidfasern besteht, das bedruckt und bei Auflage auf der Haut undurchsichtig ist.The invention relates to a sunlight-permeable fabric, in particular for swimwear or light-protective clothing, which consists of a tulle-like knitted fabric with mesh openings of at least 0.2 mm inside width with polyamide fibers, which is printed and is opaque when applied to the skin.

Ein solcher Stoff, der auch bereits für einen Badeanzug oder einen Bikini vorgesehen ist, ist bekannt (CH-C-492 412). Ein entsprechender Badeanzug oder Bikini hat den Vorteil, daß auch die damit bekleideten Körperstellen in der Sonne bräunen, obwohl sie wie bei einer herkömmlichen Badebekleidung verdeckt und nicht zu sehen sind. Diese Badebekleidung ermöglicht daher bei sonnigem Wetter ein im wesentlichen nahtloses Bräunen, ohne daß dazu ein Nacktbaden oder das Aufsuchen eines eigens dafür vorgesehenen Badestrandes oder geeigneten Geländes erforderlich ist.Such a material, which is already intended for a swimsuit or a bikini, is known (CH-C-492 412). A suitable swimsuit or bikini has the advantage that the parts of the body covered with it tan in the sun, even though they are covered and not visible like in conventional swimwear. This swimwear therefore enables a substantially seamless tanning in sunny weather without the need for nude bathing or the need to go to a specially designed beach or suitable area.

Beim bekannten Stoff ergibt sich die Größe der Maschenöffnungen, durch welche die Sonnenstrahlen hindurchtreten, indirekt daraus, daß nicht nur ein Gewirke sondern auch ein Gewebe empfohlen wird, für das die Fadendurchmesser und die Fadendichte sowohl in Kettfadenrichtung als auch in Schußfadenrichtung angegeben ist, so daß quadratische Öffnungen vorhanden sind, deren Kantenlänge sich zu 0,15 bis 0,53 mm berechnet. Bei dieser vergleichsweise geringen Weite der Gewebeöffnungen (Maschenöffnungen) ist der obere Wert bereits als kritisch anzusehen, weil mit zunehmender Größe der Öffnungen der Stoff mehr und mehr seine Undurchsichtigkeit verliert und nicht mehr die Funktion erfüllen kann, die bekleideten Körperstellen zu verhüllen. Das gilt in ganz besonderem Maße dann, wenn die entsprechende Bekleidung nicht nur zum Sonnenbaden sondern auch zum Schwimmen benutzt wird, der Stoff also naß wird. In diesem Fall scheint die Undurchsichtigkeit des bekannten Stoffes nicht mehr gewährleistet.In the known fabric, the size of the mesh openings through which the sun's rays pass indirectly results from the fact that not only a knitted fabric but also a woven fabric It is recommended that the thread diameter and the thread density are given both in the warp direction and in the weft direction, so that there are square openings, the edge length of which is calculated to be 0.15 to 0.53 mm. With this comparatively small width of the fabric openings (mesh openings), the upper value can already be regarded as critical, because with increasing size of the openings the fabric loses its opacity more and more and can no longer fulfill the function of covering the clad parts of the body. This is particularly true when the appropriate clothing is used not only for sunbathing but also for swimming, so the fabric gets wet. In this case, the opacity of the known substance no longer seems guaranteed.

Des weiteren werden mit dem bekannten Stoff auch noch keine optimalen Bräunungsergebnisse erzielt. Das liegt nicht nur daran, daß wegen der vergleichsweise kleinen Stofföffnungen ein ungünstiges Verhältnis von Öffnungsfläche zu Fadenfläche bzw. von unbedeckter Haut zu bedeckter Haut vorhanden ist, es besteht vielmehr auch die Gefahr, daß die Bräunung nicht gleichmäßig erfolgt und sich das Fadenmuster des Stoffes mehr oder minder auf der Haut abzeichnet. Dafür ist der Umstand verantwortlich, daß der ausschließlich aus Polyamidfasern hergestellte Stoff während des Tragens der Badebekleidung keine Veränderungen hinsichtlich der Form und Größe der Öffnungen erfährt, so daß die den einzelnen Maschenöffnungen zugeordneten Körperstellen sich nicht verschieben und gleichbleibend bestrahlt werden.Furthermore, no optimal tanning results are achieved with the known fabric. This is not only due to the fact that because of the comparatively small openings in the fabric there is an unfavorable ratio of opening area to thread area or from uncovered skin to covered skin, there is also the risk that the tanning will not take place uniformly and the thread pattern of the fabric will change or less on the skin. This is due to the fact that the fabric, which is made exclusively from polyamide fibers, does not undergo any changes in the shape and size of the openings when the swimwear is worn, so that the body parts assigned to the individual mesh openings do not shift and are irradiated in a constant manner.

Es ist ferner ein auch bereits für Badebekleidung vorgesehener Stoff bekannt, der zwei- oder mehrfädig mit einem Polyamidfaden und einem elastischen Faden aus Polyurethan hergestellt ist (US-A-3 389 582). Hier ist ein Bräunungseffekt nicht angesprochen, obwohl dort (als Stand der Technik) auch eine tüllartige Raschelware mit polygonalen (hexagonalen) Maschenöffnungen und in drei zueinander versetzten Richtungen verlaufenden Maschenöffnungsreihen bekannt ist. Letzterer Stoff wird offenbar nur in Verbindung mit einer Verstärkungsschicht verarbeitet, die ihrerseits praktisch keine Sonnenstrahlen durchläßt.Also known is a fabric which is already provided for swimwear and which is produced in two or more threads with a polyamide thread and an elastic thread made of polyurethane (US Pat. No. 3,389,582). A browning effect is not addressed here, although there is also known (as prior art) a tulle-like rustle fabric with polygonal (hexagonal) mesh openings and rows of mesh openings running in three mutually offset directions. The latter substance is apparently only processed in conjunction with a reinforcement layer, which in turn allows practically no sun rays to pass through.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den eingangs beschriebenen Stoff so zu verbessern, daß die daraus hergestellte Bekleidung optimale Bräunungseigenschaften und eine auch durch Nässe nicht herabgesetzte Verhüllungswirkung mit erhöhtem Sitz- und Tragekomfort verbindet.The invention has for its object to improve the material described above so that the clothing produced from it combines optimal tanning properties and a covering effect not reduced by wetness with increased sitting and wearing comfort.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das Gewirke außer den Polyamidfasern auch ein Polyurethan-Elastomer aufweist, mit einer lichten Maschenöffnungsweite zwischen 0,2 und 1,0 mm ausgeführt ist, mit kontrastierenden Leuchtfarben bedruckt ist und eine wabenartige Struktur mit Maschenöffnungsreihen aufweist, die sich in wenigstens drei zueinander winkelversetzten Richtungen erstrecken.This object is achieved in that the knitted fabric in addition to the polyamide fibers also has a polyurethane elastomer, is designed with a clear mesh size between 0.2 and 1.0 mm, is printed with contrasting fluorescent colors and has a honeycomb structure with mesh rows that extend in at least three mutually angular directions.

Zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen dieser Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Expedient refinements and developments of this invention result from the subclaims.

Der erfindungsgemäße Stoff ist durch die Materialkomponenten des Gewirkes und seine wabenartige Struktur sehr elastisch und dehnfähig, und zwar in mindestens drei oder gar vier Richtungen. Das führt zu einer erhöhten Anpassungsfähigkeit an die Körperform, wobei sich die mehreckigen (sechseckigen) Maschenöffnungen beim Tragen entsprechend weiten, so daß die Sonnenstrahlen und damit die zur Bräunung der Haut führenden UV-Strahlen gut durchdringen können. Gleichwohl bleibt das auf dem Körper aufliegende Gewirke infolge der Bedruckung mit kontrastierenden Leuchtfarben undurchsichtig, und zwar auch dann, wenn das Gewirke naß ist. Im übrigen trocknet der nasse Stoff besonders schnell, wofür nicht nur die verwendeten Fasern sondern auch die lockere Struktur des entsprechend leichten Gewirkes verantwortlich ist. Somit eignet sich entsprechende Badebekleidung sowohl zum Sonnenbaden wie zum Schwimmen.Due to the material components of the knitted fabric and its honeycomb structure, the fabric according to the invention is very elastic and stretchable, in at least three or even four directions. This leads to an increased adaptability to the body shape, with the polygonal (hexagonal) mesh openings widening accordingly when worn, so that the sun's rays and thus the UV rays leading to tanning of the skin can penetrate well. Nevertheless, the knitted fabric lying on the body remains opaque due to the printing with contrasting fluorescent colors, even when the knitted fabric is wet. In addition, the wet fabric dries particularly quickly, which is not only responsible for the fibers used, but also for the loose structure of the correspondingly light knitted fabric. Appropriate swimwear is therefore suitable for both sunbathing and swimming.

Versuche mit einem sechseckige Maschenöffnungen einheitlicher Größe aufweisenden Gewirke aus 73 % Nylon und 27 % Lycra in Fadenstärken von 40 Denier bzw. 280 Denier bei einem Flächengewicht von 160 g/m² haben ergeben, daß das Gewirke ca. 65 % der UV-Strahlen der Sonne durchläßt oder anders ausgedrückt etwa 1/3 der UV-Strahlung vom Körper abhält. Das entspricht in etwa der Verwendung einer Sonnencreme mit einem Lichtschutzfaktor von 10 auf der nackten Haut. Dementsprechend ist der erfindungsgemäße Stoff nicht nur für Badebekleidung besonders empfehlenswert sondern auch überall dort von Vorteil, wo die Haut vor zu starker Sonneneinstrahlung ohne Verwendung von Sonnencremes, die auf Fett- oder Ölbasis hergestellt sind, geschützt werden soll, ein Bräunungseffekt aber durchaus erwünscht ist. Als derartige Lichtschutzbekleidung kommen zahlreiche verschiedenartige Kleidungsstücke in Betracht, beispielsweise T-Shirts, Leggings, Radlerhosen und Capri-Hosen. Ersichtlich kann dabei gegebenenfalls stellenweise auf eine kontrastfarbene Bedruckung verzichtet werden.Experiments with a hexagonal mesh openings of uniform size made of 73% nylon and 27% Lycra in thread thicknesses of 40 denier or 280 denier with a basis weight of 160 g / m² have shown that the knitted fabric approx. 65% of the UV rays of the sun transmits or, in other words, keeps about 1/3 of the UV radiation from the body. This roughly corresponds to the use of a sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 10 on the bare skin. Accordingly, the fabric of the invention is not only particularly recommended for swimwear, but is also advantageous wherever the skin protection from excessive sun exposure without the use of sun creams that are based on fat or oil should be protected, but a tanning effect is definitely desirable. Numerous different types of clothing come into consideration as such light protection clothing, for example T-shirts, leggings, cycling pants and Capri pants. Obviously, a contrast-colored print can be omitted in places.

Wie gestrichelt angedeutet sind die Beinöffnungen, die Halsöffnung und die Armöffnungen in bekannter Weise mit einem elastischen Saum 4 unter Verwendung einer Overlocknaht versehen.Figure 1 shows a swimsuit 1 with a front 2 and a back 3. As indicated by dashed lines, the leg openings, the neck opening and the arm openings are provided in a known manner with an elastic hem 4 using an overlock seam.

Sowohl der Badeanzug 1 wie der Bikini 5 sind in üblicher Weise gestaltet und verarbeitet. Die Besonderheit liegt nur im zur Herstellung verwendeten Stoff, aus dem sich die spezifischen Gebrauchsvorteile ergeben.Both the swimsuit 1 and the bikini 5 are designed and processed in the usual way. The peculiarity lies only in the fabric used for the production, from which the specific advantages in use result.

Figur 3 zeigt in einer Ausschnittvergrößerung diesen Stoff 10, bei dem es sich um ein Gewirke 11 mit einer Bedruckung 12 handelt.
In Figur 3 ist im Bereich hellfarbener Bedruckung die Stuktur des Gewirkes 11 zu erkennen, da der Stoff 10 vor dunklem Hintergrund dargestellt ist. Es handelt sich um ein tüllartiges Gewirke 11, das aus einem zweifädigen Garn 13 hergestellt ist und eine Vielzahl von einander eng benachbarten Maschenöffnungen 14 aufweist. Bei der Darstellung in Figur 3 steht der Stoff 10 dem Tragezustand entsprechend unter leichten Zugspannungen, wodurch die Maschenöffnungen 14 zum Teil unterschiedlich weit geöffnet sind und die Maschenöffnungsreihen nicht überall deutlich hervortreten. Es ist jedoch zu erkennen, daß die Maschenöffnungen 14 eine sechseckform aufweisen und jeweils in drei zueinander winkelversetzten Maschenöffnungsreihen angeordnet sind.FIG. 3 shows an enlarged detail of this fabric 10, which is a knitted fabric 11 with printing 12.
The structure of the knitted fabric 11 can be seen in FIG. 3 in the area of light-colored printing, since the fabric 10 is shown against a dark background. It is a tulle-like knitted fabric 11, which is made from a two-ply yarn 13 and has a plurality of stitch openings 14 which are closely adjacent to one another. In the illustration in FIG. 3, the fabric 10 is in accordance with the state of wear under slight tensile stresses, as a result of which the mesh openings 14 are partially opened to different degrees and the rows of mesh openings do not clearly stand out everywhere. However, it can be seen that the mesh openings 14 have a hexagonal shape and are each arranged in three mesh rows of staggered angles.

Dieser Sachverhalt ist in Figur 4 deutlicher dargestellt. Diese mit einem Punktraster unterlegte Prinzipdarstellung macht deutlich, daß die Maschenöffnungen 14 des maschinell hergestellten Gewirkes 11 keine exakt regelmäßigen Sechsecke sind, weil die beiden jeweils horizontal verlaufenden Kanten etwas kürzer als die vier übrigen Kanten sind. Gut zu erkennen ist, daß jede Maschenöffnung 14 drei Maschenöffnungsreihen 15, 16 und 17 angehört, die sich in drei zueinander winkelversetzten Richtungen a, b, c erstrecken. Dabei weisen benachbarte Maschenöffnungen 14 einer Reihe jeweils eine gemeinsame vom Garn 13 gebildete schmale Kantenbegrenzung auf.This state of affairs is shown more clearly in FIG. This basic representation, which is underlaid with a dot matrix, makes it clear that the mesh openings 14 of the machine-made knitted fabric 11 are not exactly regular hexagons, because the two horizontally running edges are somewhat shorter than the four other edges. It can be clearly seen that each stitch opening 14 belongs to three rows of stitch openings 15, 16 and 17 which extend in three mutually angular directions a, b, c. Adjacent mesh openings 14 of a row each have a common narrow edge boundary formed by the yarn 13.

Das zur Herstellung des tüllartigen Gewirkes 11 verwendete Garn 13 weist - in den Figuren nicht dargestellt - einen dickeren Nylonfaden mit einer Stärke von ca. 40 Denier und einen dünneren Faden einer Stärke von ca. 280 Denier aus einem Polyuretan-Elastomer (Lycra) auf. Dem entspricht eine Garnzusammensetzung von 73 % Nylon und 27 % Lycra. Das spezifische Gewicht des Gewirkes 11 beträgt 160 g/m2. Die lichte Maschenöffnungsweite beträgt im nicht durch Tragen aufgeweiteten Zustand ca. 0,5 mm.The yarn 13 used to manufacture the tulle-like knitted fabric 11 has - not shown in the figures - a thicker nylon thread with a thickness of approx. 40 denier and a thinner thread with a thickness of approx. 280 denier made of a polyurethane elastomer (Lycra). This corresponds to a yarn composition of 73% nylon and 27% Lycra. The specific weight of the knitted fabric 11 is 160 g / m 2. The clear mesh size is approx. 0.5 mm when not expanded by wearing.

Auf Grund der Struktur des Gewirkes 11, der verwendeten Garnkomponenten und einer speziellen Ausrüstung ist der Stoff 10 in mehreren Richtungen sehr elastisch und dehnfähig. Das garantiert einen dauerhaft guten Sitz der Badebekleidung 1 bzw. 5 und Aufweitungen bzw. Veränderungen der Maschenöffnungen 14 beim Tragen bzw. durch die Körperbewegung. Dabei erfährt der Körper in der Sonne eine im wesentlichen vollflächige Bestrahlung mit ca. 65 % der auftreffenden UV-Strahlen. Im Bereich der Säume 4 bzw. 8, 9 kann der Bräunungseffekt durch ein von Zeit zu Zeit erfolgendes geringfügiges Verschieben des Saums auf der Haut verbessert werden.Due to the structure of the knitted fabric 11, the yarn components used and special equipment, the fabric 10 is very elastic and stretchable in several directions. That guarantees a permanent good fit of the swimwear 1 and 5 and widening or changes in the mesh openings 14 when worn or by body movement. In the sun, the body experiences an essentially full-surface radiation with approx. 65% of the incident UV rays. In the area of the hems 4 and 8, 9, the tanning effect can be improved by moving the hem slightly on the skin from time to time.

Figur 5 veranschaulicht, daß auch ein Gewirke 18 mit unterschiedlichen Maschenöffnungen 19 und 20 verwendet werden kann, nämlich achteckigen größeren Maschenöffnungen 19 und viereckigen kleineren Maschenöffnungen 20, wobei die größeren Maschenöffnungen 19 in vier Maschenöffnungsreihen 21 bis 24 angeordnet sind, die sich in vier Richtungen d, e, f, g erstrecken, die unter 45° zueinander - also mit gleichmäßiger Winkelversetzung - verlaufen. Auch in diesem Fall ergibt sich ein in vier Richtungen elastischer und dehnfähiger Stoff mit guten Bräunungseigenschaften.Figure 5 illustrates that a knitted fabric 18 with different stitch openings 19 and 20 can be used, namely octagonal larger stitch openings 19 and square smaller stitch openings 20, the larger stitch openings 19 being arranged in four stitch opening rows 21 to 24, which are arranged in four directions d , e, f, g extend at 45 ° to each other - that is, with a uniform angular displacement. In this case, too, there is a fabric which is elastic and stretchable in four directions and has good tanning properties.

Die Bedruckung 12 erfolgt mit kontrastierenden Leuchtfarben. Beispielsweise werden sechs (ggf. auch mehr) verschiedene Leuchtfarben 25 bis 30 verwendet, die zueinander kontrastieren. Wie Figur 3 erkennen läßt sieht das Druckdesign vergleichsweise kleine Flächen gleicher Farbe vor, so daß nicht nur eine intensive sondern auch eine stark wechselnde Farbgebung vorherrscht. Dadurch entsteht für das menschliche Auge der Eindruck, als ob es sich bei dem auf der Haut aufliegenden und dementsprechend nicht durchleuchteten Stoff 10 nicht um einen Tüll mit einem großen Flächenanteil an Öffnungen sondern um einen dichten Stoff handelt.The printing 12 is done with contrasting fluorescent colors. For example, six (possibly more) different fluorescent colors 25 to 30 are used, which contrast with each other. As can be seen in FIG. 3, the print design provides comparatively small areas of the same color, so that not only an intensive but also a strongly changing color scheme prevails. This gives the human eye the impression that the fabric 10 lying on the skin and accordingly not illuminated is not a tulle with a large proportion of openings, but a dense fabric.
