Date Dec. 18, 1997Garment snugly fitting to a body, in particular a bathing suit, having a front section (1), a back section (2), a crotch section (4) and at least one suspended section (5), the front section and the back section being circularly knitted substantially in a hose-like configuration from elastic yarn which over the extend of the garment is knitted at different tensions and/or mesh sizes, so that the garment follows the contour of the body, the elastic yarn in each row consisting of an elastic core yarn and at least one surface yarn covering it.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein am Körper anliegendes Bekleidungsstück, insbesondere einen Badeanzug, mit einem Vorderabschnitt, einem Rückenabschnitt, einem Schrittabschnitt und zumindest einem Trägerabschnitt, wobei der Vorderabschnitt und der Rückenabschnitt im wesentlichen schlauchförmig aus elastischem Garn rundgestrickt sind, das im Verlauf des Kleidungsstückes mit unterschiedlicher Spannung und/oder Maschengröße gestrickt ist, so daß das Bekleidungsstück der Körperkontur folgt, wobei das elastische Garn in jeder Reihe aus einem elastischen Grundgarn und zumindest einem dieses umgebenden Oberflächengarn besteht.The invention relates to a piece of clothing that is in contact with the body, especially a swimsuit, with a front section, a back section, a crotch section and at least a support section, the front section and the back section is essentially tubular and made of elastic Yarn is circular knitted in the course of the garment with different tension and / or mesh size is knitted so that the garment of the body contour follows, with the elastic yarn in each row consisting of an elastic Base yarn and at least one surface yarn surrounding it consists.

Bei Bekleidungsstücken, insbesondere Badeanzügen, die am Körper einer Trägerin anliegen sollen, werden der Vorder- und der Rückenabschnitt üblicherweise aus zumindest zwei Teilen gefertigt, die an der Seite zusammengenäht werden. Zumindest die Öffnungen im Oberschenkel- bzw. Hüftbereich und die Schulterabschnitte werden konfektioniert. Diese Ausführung hat den Nachteil eines beträchtlichen Arbeitsaufwandes, weil der Vorder- und der Rückenabschnitt dem Körperverlauf entsprechend zugeschnitten und dann zusammengenäht werden müssen. Die Nähte sind störend und beeinträchtigen den optimalen Sitz des Bekleidungsstückes am Körper. Schließlich ist das gewünschte enge Anliegen des Bekleidungsstückes am Körper und dessen Elastizität wegen der bisher verwendeten Garne und deshalb nicht immer gewährleistet, weil der Stoff üblicherweise auf einen Spannrahmen aufgespannt und wärmebehandelt wird, wodurch die Rückzugkraft des Stoffes und damit des fertigen Kleidungsstückes vermindert wird.In the case of clothing, in particular swimsuits, on Shoulders of a wearer should fit, the front and the back section is usually made of at least two parts, which are sewn together on the side. At least that Openings in the thigh or hip area and the shoulder sections are made up. This version has the Disadvantage of a considerable amount of work because the front and the back section tailored to fit the body and then need to be sewn together. The seams are annoying and impair the optimal fit of the garment on the body. After all, the desired close concern of the garment on the body and its elasticity because of the yarns used so far and therefore not always guaranteed because the fabric is usually on a tenter is stretched and heat treated, creating the retraction force of the fabric and thus of the finished garment becomes.

Es ist ferner aus der EP-A1-0 599 266 bereits ein Bekleidungsstück der einleitend angegebenen Art bekannt, das z.B. als Unterbekleidungsstück verwendbar und mit langen Ärmeln versehen ist, wobei das Bekleidungsstück in den Ärmeln sowie im Taillen- und Brustbereich Zonen unterschiedlicher Strickart und Dehnung zur besseren Anpassung an den Körper aufweist. Aus der US 3 425 246 ist es ferner bereits bekannt, z.B. bei rundgestrickten Badeanzügen, Strümpfen, Büstenhaltern u.dgl. mit unterschiedlicher Maschenstruktur zur Aufnahme von Körperrundungen einstückig und unter Verwendung von umhüllten Elasthangarnen auf Rundstrickmaschinen herzustellen, wobei die Maschengröße bereichsweise variiert werden kann.It is also already an item of clothing from EP-A1-0 599 266 of the type specified in the introduction, which e.g. as Underwear can be used and has long sleeves with the garment in the sleeves and waist and chest area zones of different types of knitting and stretching for better adaptation to the body. From the U.S. 3,425,246 is also already known, e.g. for circular knitted ones Swimsuits, stockings, bras and the like. with different Mesh structure to absorb body curves in one piece and using covered elastane yarns to manufacture on circular knitting machines, the stitch size can be varied in some areas.

Die Erfindung zielt darauf ab, ein Bekleidungsstück der einleitend angegebenen Art zu schaffen, das bei einwandfreiem Sitz in enger Anlage am Körper auf einfache sowie kostengünstige Weise in einem modernen Produktionsablauf hergestellt und dabei mit transparenten Zonen versehen werden werden kann. Das erfindungsgemäße Bekleidungsstück hat die Merkmale, daß es opak ist und transparente Zonen aufweist, wobei das elastische Grundgarn, vorzugsweise ein Elasthangarn, mit einem Polyamid-Feingarn umgeben ist, das durch Umwinden aufgebracht ist, und daß nur im opaken Bereich ein zusätzliches Oberflächen-Polyamidgarn, vorzugsweise Nylon, auf das umwundene elastische Grundgarn aufgebracht ist.The invention aims to provide an article of clothing to create initially specified type that with impeccable Fit tightly on the body on simple as well inexpensive way in a modern production process manufactured and provided with transparent zones can be. The article of clothing according to the invention has the Features that it is opaque and has transparent zones, whereby the elastic base yarn, preferably an elastane yarn, is surrounded with a polyamide fine yarn, which by winding is applied, and that only in the opaque area an additional Surface polyamide yarn, preferably nylon, on the wrapped elastic base yarn is applied.

Das Grundgarn kann dabei mit dem Polyamid-Feingarn rechts/links umgeben sein und als Nylon, insbesondere Nylon 66, verwendet werden. Dieses Zusatzgarn sichert, daß das Bekleidungsstück zur Verwendung als Badeanzug schnelltrocknend, scheuerresistent und gleichmäßig anfärbend ist.The base yarn can be made with the polyamide fine yarn be surrounded on the right / left and as nylon, in particular nylon 66, be used. This additional thread ensures that the item of clothing quick-drying for use as a swimsuit, is scrub-resistant and stains evenly.

Das erfindungsgemäße Bekleidungsstück kann im wesentlichen in einem Arbeitsvorgang körperformgerecht hergestellt werden, so daß lediglich der Schrittabschnitt, die Öffnungen im Oberschenkel- bzw. Hüftbereich und der Trägerabschnitt konfektioniert werden müssen. Jegliches Zuschneiden und Zusammennähen des Vorder- und des Rückenabschnittes entfallen.The article of clothing according to the invention can essentially are manufactured to fit the body shape in one work process, so that only the crotch section, the openings in the thigh or hip area and the carrier section assembled Need to become. Any cutting and sewing the front and back sections are eliminated.

Nach einem anderen Merkmal der Erfindung ist das gesamte rundgestrickte Bekleidungsstück, wie an sich bekannt, im Stück durchgefärbt. Vorzugsweise weist das Bekleidungsstück außerdem in an sich bekannter Weise eine UVB-absorbierende Ausrüstung auf, die im Ausziehverfahren aufgebracht ist.According to another feature of the invention, the whole circular knitted garment, as known per se, in one piece dyed through. Preferably the garment also has UVB absorbing equipment in a manner known per se on, which is applied in the exhaust process.

Als Kraft- bzw. Grundgarne werden somit im Rahmen der Erfindung vorzugsweise Elasthangarne, wie Lycra®, eingesetzt, die seewasser- und chlorbeständig sowie zinkfrei sind. Als Oberflächengarne können im Rahmen der Erfindung texturierte Garne, Glattgarne oder hochgestreckte Garne in Form von Microgarnen, Multifilament- und Normalfilamentgarnen verwendet werden.As power or basic yarns are thus within the scope of the invention preferably elastane yarns such as Lycra® are used, which are seawater and chlorine resistant and zinc free. As Surface yarns can be textured within the scope of the invention Yarns, plain yarns or stretched yarns in the form of micro yarns, Multifilament and normal filament yarns can be used.

Das Grundgarn wird entweder durch starkes Links/Rechts-Umwinden mit dünnen Garnfäden (mit z.B. 16 Denier) geschützt(für transparente Zonen) oder das Oberflächen-Polyamidgarn (z.B. mit 40 Denier) durch Luftverwirbelung aufgebracht (für opake Zonen). Das Grundgarn kann aber auch durch Verzwirnen, Umspinnen u.dgl. mit dem Oberflächengarn versehen werden. Als zusätzliches Oberflächen-Polyamidgarn bzw. Garnfaden kommt insbesondere Nylon 66 (mit z.B. 120-140 Denier) in Betracht.The base yarn is either by strong left / right winding protected with thin threads (e.g. 16 denier) (for transparent zones) or the surface polyamide yarn (e.g. with 40 denier) applied by air swirling (for opaque Zones). The base yarn can also be twisted or spun and the like be provided with the surface yarn. As an additional Surface polyamide yarn or yarn comes in particular Nylon 66 (e.g. with 120-140 denier) into consideration.

Es hat sich gezeigt, daß die erfindungsgemäßen Bekleidungsstücke, deren Stoff nicht über einen Spannrahmen gespannt wird, eine Längsdehnung von durchschnittlich 140% und eine Querdehnung von durchschnittlich 325% zulassen.It has been shown that the inventive Clothing, the fabric of which does not have a tenter is stretched, an average elongation of 140% and allow an average elongation of 325%.

    Der gezeigte opake Badeanzug besteht aus einem Vorderabschnitt 1 und einem mit diesem durch Rundstricken eines Schlauches auf einer Rundstrickmaschine einstückig ausgebildeten Rückenabschnitt 2. Von diesen Abschnitten definierte Öffnungen 3 im Hüftbereich und Schrittverlängerungen 4 sind in üblicher Weise konfektioniert. Das gleiche gilt für Schulterabschnitte 5.The opaque swimsuit shown consists of a front section 1 and one with this by circular knitting a tube integrally formed on a circular knitting machine Back section 2. Openings defined by these sections 3 in the hip area and crotch extensions 4 are more common Made up way. The same applies to shoulder sections 5.

    Da der Badeanzug einstückig aus einem rundgestrickten Schlauch hergestellt ist, weist er über seinen Umfang keine Nähte auf. Der hergestellte Schlauch ist im Stück durchgefärbt.Because the swimsuit is made in one piece from a circular knit Hose is made, it has none on its circumference Sew on. The hose produced is colored through in one piece.

    Für den Rundstrickvorgang wird in jeder Reihe ein elastisches Garn eingesetzt, das ein Grundgarn, insbesondere ein seewasser- und chlorbeständiges, zinkfreies Elasthan (z.B. Lycra®) mit einem vorbestimmten Kraft-Dehnungsverhalten aufweist. Dieses Elasthan ist von zumindest einem Oberflächengarn umgeben und geschützt.For the circular knitting process there is an elastic in each row Yarn used that a base yarn, especially a seawater and chlorine-resistant, zinc-free elastane (e.g. Lycra®) with a predetermined force-elongation behavior having. This spandex is made from at least one surface yarn surrounded and protected.

    Bei dem gezeigten Bekleidungsstück wird das Grundgarn z.B. durch Luftverwirbelung (z.B. mit Hilfe einer Airintermingled-Maschine) mit einem Oberflächen-Polyamid-Kräuselgarn versehen, z.B. einem feinfibrilligen Nylon, wobei das Elasthan in die Fibrillen des Kräuselgarnes gepreßt wird und so durch das Kräuselgarn geschützt ist. Bei diesem Vorgang müssen spezielle Kriterien, u.a. die Ausbildung und Größe der Verwirbelungsdüse, die Geschwindigkeit und der Druck sowie die Richtung des Luftstromes, der Verzug usw. eingestellt werden. Zusätzlich kann ein weiteres Oberflächen-Polyamidgarn bzw. ein Garnfaden, wie Nylon 66, auf das umgebene elastische Grundgarn aufgebracht sein.In the garment shown, the base yarn is e.g. through air swirling (e.g. with the help of an air-intermittent machine) provided with a surface polyamide crimp yarn, e.g. a fine fibrillated nylon, the elastane in the fibrils of the crimp yarn is pressed and so through the Crimp yarn is protected. In this process, special Criteria, i.a. the formation and size of the swirl nozzle, the speed and pressure as well as the direction of the air flow, the delay etc. can be set. In addition can another surface polyamide thread or a thread, such as Nylon 66, applied to the surrounding elastic base yarn his.

    Bei einem nicht gezeigten opaken Bekleidungsstück mit transparenten Zonen ist das Grundgarn nur mit einem feinen Oberflächen-Polyamidgarn vorzugsweise links/rechts relativ stark umwunden und im opaken Bereich mit einem Zusatz-Oberflächengarn aus einem Polyamid, wie Nylon 66, versehen.With an opaque garment, not shown, with transparent zones is the base yarn only with a fine Surface polyamide yarn preferably left / right relative heavily wound and in the opaque area with an additional surface yarn made of a polyamide, such as nylon 66.

    Es versteht sich, daß die vorstehend geschilderten Ausführungsformen im Rahmen des allgemeinen Erfindungsgedankens insbesondere hinsichtlich der jeweils eingesetzten Garne und deren Ausbildung verschiedentlich abgewandelt werden können.It is understood that the above-described embodiments in the context of the general inventive concept in particular with regard to the yarns used and their Training can be modified in various ways.
