Definitions

  • the present invention concerns trousers for cyclists with an insert protecting the body zones of the cyclist resting against the bicycle saddle, as described in the introductory portion of the claim 1.
  • Trousers for cyclists of similar type are known in practical use and are marketed worldwide e.g. by the company ASSOS SA at CH-6854 San Pietro di Stabio, Switzerland.
  • the protecting insert is made from natural or synthetic leather and presents a very specific shape in order to prevent the seams, using which the insert is fastened to the fabric of the trousers, from disturbing the cyclist in his action and causing painful, or at least bothering, abrasion.
  • This type of insert for trousers for cyclists has well proven itself with respect to the objectives it was laid out for. It has been found however, that the relatively stiff material from which the inserts are made, in the sense of limited extensibility, still can cause discomfort to the user, as the insert can not adapt sufficiently to the movements of the cyclist, especially to the movements of his legs, and thus tends to provoke undesirable stretching in certain zones of the cyclist's skin.
  • the present invention thus intends to eliminate these specific disadvantages of the trousers for cyclists provided with the known inserts and to permit realisation of clothing for cyclists, especially for racing competition cyclists - but not only - providing optimum comfort and reliably avoiding any remaining danger of abrasion of delicate body zones particularly exposed while practising this sport.
  • a portion of trousers for cyclists designated 1, is shown, and more precisely the portion corresponding to the groin zone, the person wearing the trousers standing on the ground.
  • An insert, designated 2, made from a single piece and fixed at its borders 3 (better visible in the Fig. 2) to the fabric of the trousers for cyclists 1 by means of a stitching seam.
  • the seam 4 is indicated in the Fig. 2 with a zigzag line.
  • the shape of the insert which as such is not an object of the present invention, can be e.g. pear-shaped, as indicated in the Fig. 2, where the larger portion of the pear outline coincides, after being put on by the cyclist, with the anterior zone of the body, i.e. the zone of the sexual organs, which are particularly susceptible to mechanical stress, and thus merit effective protection.
  • the pear shape of the insert 2 is not, however, necessary within the scope of the present invention, which can advantageously be applied also to inserts of other shapes, depending on the requirements and keeping the gender of the user in mind.
  • the Fig 3 now is to be referred to, in which a cross-section along the line A-A according to the Fig. 2 is shown.
  • the insert 2 is composed of a base layer 5 of expanded soft material onto which, on the side directly contacting the body of the cyclist, a fabric 6, elastic in all directions, according to the definition given above concerning the concept of elasticity, is fastened. Owing to the isotropic or homogeneous elasticity of the material covering the insert, the latter can adapt its dimensions to the movements of the body of the cyclist, and thus permits realisation of the objective stated above of the present invention.
  • the base layer 3 of expanded material consists of foam rubber: the advantage of this solution being mainly the price of this material, as the so-called foam rubber is a low-price material available practically everywhere.
  • the fabric 6, elastic in all directions is a fabric incorporating elastomer fibres, such as a fibre called Elasthan, marketed under the Lycra trademark of the Du Pont de Nemours Corp.
  • the elastomer fibre present a capacity of elongation of more than 5%.
  • This indication intends to exclude from the field of application of the present invention all fibrous materials the elastic elongation of which is lower than 5% of their length in the absence of tensile tension. It is clear that every material has its specific coefficient of elasticity (called elasticity modulus), but within the frame of the present invention preferentially materials are to be chosen, which present a certain elasticity, as indicated in this specific preferred form of realisation of the present invention.
  • the base layer 5 of expanded material present in its state free of load, i.e. not subject to any compressing effect, is to be of a thickness h (compare the Fig. 3) ranging from 3 to 5 mm.
  • the fabric 6 is a woven fabric in which the weft threads as well as the warp threads are produced using elastomer fibres.
  • the advantages of weaving in producing large flat plane textile surfaces are well known.
  • the fabric 6 is knitted from a thread produced with elastomer fibres.
  • This solution benefiting of the known properties of knitted fabrics, permits realisation fabrics of the highest degree of elasticity in all directions and thus is particularly suited for realising this form of the present invention.
  • the present invention has been described here merely in the sense of examples of application in trousers for cyclists, and more specifically in the zones subject to the danger of abrasion of the skin of the wearer. It is evident that the same solution can be adopted for other applications in connection with the practise of other sports than cycling, where the same abrasion problems of the skin of the athlete persist.
