Description

Bekleidungsstück Garment
Die Erfindung betrifft ein am Korper anliegendes Beklei¬ dungsstück, insbesondere einen Badeanzug, mit einem Vorderab- schnitt, einem Ruckenabschnitt, einem Schrittabschnitt und zu¬ mindest einem Tragerabschnitt.The invention relates to a piece of clothing lying against the body, in particular a swimsuit, with a front section, a back section, a crotch section and at least one support section.
Bei Bekleidungsstücken, insbesondere Badeanzügen, die am Korper einer Trägerin anliegen sollen, werden der Vorder- und der Ruckenabschnitt üblicherweise aus zumindest zwei Teilen ge- fertigt, die an der Seite zusammengenaht werden. Zumindest die Offnungen im Oberschenkel- bzw. Hüftbereich und die Schulter¬ abschnitte werden konfektioniert. Diese Ausfuhrung hat den Nachteil eines beträchtlichen Arbeitsaufwandes, weil der Vor¬ der- und der Ruckenabschnitt dem Korperverlauf entsprechend zu- geschnitten und dann zusammengenaht werden müssen. Die Nahte sind störend und beeinträchtigen den optimalen Sitz des Beklei¬ dungsstückes am Korper. Schließlich ist das gewünschte enge An¬ liegen des Bekleidungsstückes am Korper und dessen Elastizität wegen der bisher verwendeten Garne und deshalb nicht immer ge- wahrleistet, weil der Stoff üblicherweise auf einen Spannrahmen aufgespannt und warmebehandelt wird, wodurch die Ruckzugkraft des Stoffes und damit des fertigen Kleidungsstückes vermindert wird.In the case of articles of clothing, in particular swimsuits, which are intended to lie against the body of a wearer, the front and back sections are usually made from at least two parts which are sewn together on the side. At least the openings in the thigh or hip area and the shoulder sections are made up. This embodiment has the disadvantage of a considerable amount of work, because the front and back sections have to be cut to fit the body and then sewn together. The seams are disruptive and impair the optimal fit of the clothing piece on the body. Finally, the desired tight fit of the item of clothing on the body and its elasticity are not always guaranteed because of the yarns previously used and therefore not always because the fabric is usually stretched on a tensioning frame and heat-treated, as a result of which the retraction force of the fabric and thus of the finished item of clothing is reduced.
Die Erfindung zielt darauf ab, ein Bekleidungsstück der einleitend angegebenen Art zu schaffen, das einen einwandfreien Sitz m enger Anlage am Korper garantiert und auf einfache so¬ wie kostengünstige Weise m einem modernen Produktionsablauf hergestellt werden kann. Das erfindungsgemaße Bekleidungsstück hat die Merkmale, daß der Vorderabschnitt und der Ruckenab- schnitt im wesentlichen schlauchformig aus elastischem Garn rundgestrickt sind, das im Verlauf des Kleidungsstückes mit unterschiedlicher Spannung und/oder Maschengroße gestrickt ist, so daß das Bekleidungsstück der Korperkontur folgt, wobei das elastische Garn in jeder Reihe aus einem elastischen Grundgarn, vorzugsweise einem Elasthangarn, und zumindest einem dieses um¬ gebenden Oberflachengarn, vorzugsweise einem Polyamidgarn, be¬ steht. Durch diese Ausbildung wird vorteilhaft erreicht, daß das Bekleidungsstück im wesentlichen in einem Arbeitsvorgang kor- performgerecht hergestellt werden kann, so daß lediglich der Schrittabschnitt, die Offnungen im Oberschenkel- bzw. Hüftbe- reich und der Tragerabschnitt konfektioniert werden müssen. Jegliches Zuschneiden und Zusammennahen des Vorder- und des Rückenabschnittes entfallen. Die Erfindung ermöglicht eine Reihe weiterer Ausführungsformen und Vorteile, die nachstehend im einzelnen erläutert werden. Erfindungsgemaß kann das Bekleidungsstück zur Ganze opak ausgebildet oder mit transparenten Zonen versehen sein. Je nach der gewünschten Ausbildung ist das Bekleidungsstück aus unter¬ schiedlichen Garnen gefertigt.The invention aims to provide a piece of clothing of the type specified in the introduction, which guarantees a perfect fit in a tight fit on the body and can be produced in a simple and inexpensive manner in a modern production process. The article of clothing according to the invention has the features that the front section and the back section are knitted in a substantially tubular shape from elastic yarn, which is knitted in the course of the article of clothing with different tension and / or mesh sizes, so that the article of clothing follows the body contour, the elastic Yarn in each row consists of an elastic base yarn, preferably an elastane yarn, and at least one surface yarn surrounding it, preferably a polyamide yarn. This configuration advantageously achieves that the item of clothing can essentially be produced in one work process, so that only the crotch section, the openings in the thigh or hip area and the carrier section have to be assembled. Any cutting and sewing of the front and back sections are no longer necessary. The invention enables a number of further embodiments and advantages, which are explained in detail below. According to the invention, the garment can be made opaque as a whole or can be provided with transparent zones. Depending on the desired design, the item of clothing is made from different yarns.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist bei einem opaken Bekleidungsstück das elastische Grundgarn von einem Polyamid-Krauselgarn umgeben, das vorzugsweise femfi- brillig und durch Luftverwirbelung aufgebracht ist. Durch diese Maßnahme wird Hautfreundlichkeit sowie Beständigkeit gegenüber Seewasser und Chlor erreicht. Das erfindungsgemaße Bekleidungs- stuck erhalt überdies lange Haltbarkeit. Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist bei dem opaken Bekleidungsstuck zweckmäßig ein zusätzliches Oberflachen-Polyamidgarn, vorzugs¬ weise Nylon, vorgesehen. Dieses Zusatzgarn sichert, daß das Be¬ kleidungsstück zur Verwendung als Badeanzug schnelltrocknend, scheuerresistent und gleichmäßig anfärbend ist.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, in the case of an opaque item of clothing, the elastic base yarn is surrounded by a polyamide crimped yarn, which is preferably feminine and applied by air turbulence. This measure ensures skin friendliness and resistance to seawater and chlorine. The garment according to the invention also has a long shelf life. According to a further feature of the invention, an additional surface polyamide yarn, preferably nylon, is expediently provided in the opaque garment. This additional yarn ensures that the item of clothing for use as a swimsuit is quick-drying, scrub-resistant and uniformly dyed.
Bei einem opaken Bekleidungsstück mit transparenten Zonen ist das elastische Grundgarn mit einem Polyamid-Feingarn vor¬ zugsweise rechts/links umgeben, das durch Umwinden aufgebracht ist, und nur im opaken Bereich ist ein zusätzliches Oberfla- chen-Polyamidgarn, vorzugsweise Nylon, insbesondere Nylon 66, auf das umwundene elastische Grundgarn aufgebracht, wie dies vorstehend beschrieben worden ist.In the case of an opaque garment with transparent zones, the elastic base yarn is preferably surrounded on the right / left with a polyamide fine yarn, which is applied by winding, and only in the opaque area is an additional surface polyamide yarn, preferably nylon, in particular nylon 66 , applied to the wrapped elastic base yarn as described above.
Nach einem anderen Merkmal der Erfindung ist das gesamte rundgestrickte Bekleidungsstück im Stuck durchgefärbt. Vorzugs- weise weist das Bekleidungsstück außerdem eine UVB-absorbieren- de Ausrüstung auf, die im Ausziehverfahren aufgebracht ist.According to another feature of the invention, the entire circular knitted garment is dyed through in the piece. The item of clothing preferably also has UVB-absorbing equipment which is applied using the pull-out method.
Als Kraft- bzw. Grundgarne werden somit im Rahmen der Er¬ findung vorzugsweise Elasthangarne, wie Lycra®, eingesetzt, die seewasser- und chlorbestandig sowie zinkfrei sind. Als Oberflachengarne können im Rahmen der Erfindung texturierte Garne, Glattgarne oder hochgestreckte Garne in Form von Micro¬ garnen, Multifilament- und Normalfllamentgarnen verwendet wer- den.Elastane yarns, such as Lycra®, are therefore preferably used as power or base yarns in the context of the invention, that are resistant to seawater and chlorine and are zinc-free. Textured yarns, plain yarns or stretched yarns in the form of micro yarns, multifilament yarns, and normal parliament yarns can be used as surface yarns within the scope of the invention.
Das Grundgarn wird entweder durch starkes Lmks/Rechts-Um- wmden mit dünnen Garnfaden (mit z.B. 16 Denier) geschützt (für transparente Zonen) oder das Oberflachen-Polyamidgarn (z.B. mit 40 Denier) durch Luftverwirbelung aufgebracht (für opake Zonen) . Das Grundgarn kann aber auch durch Verzwirnen, Um¬ spinnen u.dgl. mit dem Oberflachengarn versehen werden. Als zu¬ sätzliches Oberflachen-Polyamidgarn bzw. Garnfaden kommt insbe¬ sondere Nylon 66 (mit z.B. 120-140 Denier) in Betracht.The base yarn is either protected by strong lmks / to the right with thin yarn thread (e.g. with 16 denier) (for transparent zones) or the surface polyamide yarn (e.g. with 40 denier) is applied by air turbulence (for opaque zones). The base yarn can also be twisted, spun and the like. be provided with the surface yarn. Nylon 66 (with e.g. 120-140 denier) is particularly suitable as an additional surface polyamide yarn or yarn thread.
Es hat sich gezeigt, daß die erfindungsgemaßen Bekleidungsstücke, deren Stoff nicht über einen Spannrahmen gespannt wird, eine Langsdehnung von durchschnittlich 140% und eine Querdehnung von durchschnittlich 325% zulassen.It has been shown that the items of clothing according to the invention, the material of which is not stretched over a tenter frame, allow a longitudinal elongation of 140% on average and a transverse elongation of 325% on average.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend an Ausfuhrungsbeispielen unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnungen naher erläutert, in welchen schematisch inThe invention is explained in more detail using exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawings, in which schematically in
Fig. 1 in Vorderansicht und inFig. 1 in front view and in
Fig. 2 in einer Hinteransicht ein als Badeanzug dienendes Bekleidungsstück gemäß der Erfindung dargestellt ist.Fig. 2 is a rear view of a piece of clothing serving as a swimsuit according to the invention is shown.
Der gezeigte opake Badeanzug besteht aus einem Vorderab- schnitt 1 und einem mit diesem durch Rundstricken eines Schlau¬ ches auf einer Rundstrickmaschine einstuckig ausgebildeten Ruckenabschnitt 2. Von diesen Abschnitten definierte Offnungen 3 im Huftbereich und Schrittverlangerungen 4 sind in üblicher Weise konfektioniert. Das gleiche gilt für Schulterabschnitte 5.The opaque swimsuit shown consists of a front section 1 and a back section 2 formed in one piece with it by circular knitting of a hose on a circular knitting machine. Openings 3 in the hip area and step extensions 4 defined by these sections are assembled in the usual way. The same applies to shoulder sections 5.
Da der Badeanzug einstuckig aus einem rundgestrickten Schlauch hergestellt ist, weist er über seinen Umfang keine Nahte auf. Der hergestellte Schlauch ist im Stuck durchgefärbt.Since the swimsuit is made in one piece from a circular knitted tube, it has no seams over its circumference. The tube produced is colored throughout.
Für den Rundstrickvorgang wird in jeder Reihe ein elasti- sches Garn eingesetzt, das ein Grundgarn, insbesondere ein see¬ wasser- und chlorbestandiges, zinkfreies Elasthan (z.B. Lycra®) mit einem vorbestimmten Kraft-Dehnungsverhalten aufweist. Dieses Elasthan ist von zumindest einem Oberflachen- garn umgeben und geschützt, das danach gewählt wird, ob ein Be¬ kleidungsstück mit opaken und transparenten Zonen oder ein zur Ganze opakes Bekleidungsstück gebildet werden soll.For the circular knitting process, an elastic yarn is used in each row, which has a basic yarn, in particular a seawater and chlorine-resistant, zinc-free elastane (eg Lycra®) with a predetermined force-elongation behavior. This elastane has at least one surface surrounded and protected yarn, which is selected according to whether an item of clothing with opaque and transparent zones or an item of clothing which is opaque as a whole is to be formed.
Bei dem gezeigten opaken Bekleidungsstück wird das Grund- garn z.B. durch Luftverwirbelung (z.B. mit Hilfe einer Aiπn- termmgled-Maschme) mit einem Oberflachen-Polyamid-Krauselgarn versehen, z.B. einem feinfibrilligen Nylon, wobei das Elasthan in die Fibπllen des Krauselgarnes gepreßt wird und so durch das Krauselgarn geschützt ist. Bei diesem Vorgang müssen spezielle Kriterien, u.a. die Ausbildung und Große der Verwir- belungsduse, die Geschwindigkeit und der Druck sowie die Richtung des Luftstromes, der Verzug usw. eingestellt werden. Zusätzlich kann ein weiteres Oberflachen-Polyamidgarn bzw. ein Garnfaden, wie Nylon 66, auf das umgebene elastische Grundgarn aufgebracht sein.In the opaque garment shown, the base yarn is e.g. provided by air swirling (e.g. with the help of an aluminum-melted machine) with a surface polyamide crimp yarn, e.g. a fine-fibrillated nylon, the elastane is pressed into the fibers of the curled yarn and is thus protected by the curled yarn. In this process, special criteria, e.g. the formation and size of the swirl nozzle, the speed and the pressure as well as the direction of the air flow, the warpage etc. can be set. In addition, a further surface polyamide yarn or yarn such as nylon 66 can be applied to the surrounding elastic base yarn.
Bei einem nicht gezeigten opaken Bekleidungsstück mit transparenten Zonen ist das Grundgarn nur mit einem feinen Oberflachen-Polyamidgarn vorzugsweise links/rechts relativ stark umwunden und im opaken Bereich mit einem Zusatz-Ober- flachengarn aus einem Polyamid, wie Nylon 66, versehen.In the case of an opaque garment with transparent zones, not shown, the base yarn is only relatively heavily wound with a fine surface polyamide yarn, preferably left / right, and in the opaque area is provided with an additional surface yarn made of a polyamide, such as nylon 66.
Es versteht sich, daß die vorstehend geschilderten Ausfuh¬ rungsformen im Rahmen des allgemeinen Erfindungsgedankens ins¬ besondere hinsichtlich der jeweils eingesetzten Garne und deren Ausbildung verschiedentlich abgewandelt werden können. It goes without saying that the above-described embodiments can be modified in various ways within the scope of the general inventive concept, in particular with regard to the yarns used and their design.
