Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of bathing suits, in particular bathing suits intended for the practice of surfing.
  • the second category is that of loose fit swimwear where, except at the level of the belt, the jersey is not tight against the user.
  • shorts like shorts (sometimes called “board-shorts” ") which include a belt, a part corresponding to the user's pelvis, and two legs which are intended to descend along the legs of the user, for example up to or below the user's knee level.
  • These jerseys bath are made of inextensible materials such as cotton, polyester fabrics or polyamide. The loose fit of these jerseys gives the freedom of movement required for surfing.
  • the size of the cut is not always enough to give full freedom of movement which would be desirable, especially since, when the swimsuit is when wet, the tissues that compose it slip less well on the user's skin and tend to hang, which usually causes some discomfort.
  • the invention therefore aims to provide a loose fit jersey that does not interfere with user movements.
  • the invention provides a shorts type swimsuit with a loose cut, characterized in that it comprises at least one elastic zone other than the belt.
  • FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 are schematic plan views illustrating a swimsuit according to the invention, respectively in front view, in back view, and in side view.
  • FIG 1 is schematically illustrated a garment 10 which is in this case a “short” or “bermuda” type swimsuit.
  • This garment 10 has a belt 12, a part 14 corresponding to the user's pelvis, and two legs 16 which are intended to descend along the legs of the user, for example to the top or to below the user's knee level.
  • the belt 12 is substantially inextensible, that is to say it is constructed for example with conventional fabrics.
  • This belt 12 will preferably be fitted with an adjustment system to best adjust the belt to the waist the user, this in order to guarantee a good holding of the jersey, even if the user is taken in a wave.
  • the belt can be made with elastic materials but it will then be preferable to curb this elasticity by providing for example a lace inextensible tightening.
  • the jersey comprises first of all, just below the belt 12, a first elastic upper annular zone 18 (produced in one or more panels) which goes around the waist of the user and which forms an interposed elastic ring between the belt 12 and the rest of the swimsuit.
  • This upper annular zone 18 has a height of a few centimeters, for example between 1 and 10 cm. The height of this area 18 can for example be determined according to the degree of elasticity of the material and it can vary around the jersey.
  • This annular zone 18 allows decoupling between the movements of the belt 12 of the jersey, which is tight on the body of the user, and those of the lower part 14 of the jersey which follows the movement of the user's hips and legs. This decoupling occurs as well during a flexion of the trunk with respect to the limbs lower (e.g. when the user leans forward or squats) than when torsional movement of the trunk.
  • the swimsuit 10 illustrated then has a second zone in which are arranged elastic panels: the two lateral sides 20, starting vertically from the belt 12 to the lower edge 22 of the legs 16.
  • These elastic side panels 20 allow a decoupling between the front and rear parts of the jersey 20 and intervene especially during strong bending movements.
  • these panels side 20 have an enlarged lower portion 24 so as to give more elasticity in the lower part of the legs 16 than in the upper part.
  • each of the side panels 20 of the illustrated model has, in its upper part, a width of approximately 9 cm and can extend up to a width of approximately 15 cm. In its lower part, these values are respectively around 17 and 25 centimeters.
  • each of the side panels 20 is made in one piece with a corresponding half of the upper annular area elastic 18. This constructive provision is not however compulsory insofar as these two areas fulfill complementary but separate functions.
  • a third zone of the jersey is provided, which is provided with elastic panels: the rear zone 26 which corresponds to the buttocks of the user.
  • this rear zone 26 is directly framed, on the sides, by the elastic side panels 20, and, upwards, through the elastic annular upper zone 18. Provision could however be made for this elastic rear zone to be separated from the other zones. by inextensible or poorly extensible zones.
  • the rear area 26 can be divided into several panels, for example in two panels right and left.
  • This elastic rear zone 26 makes it possible to absorb the prominence formed by the buttocks of user when leaning forward or when crouching.
  • the jersey has a fourth elastic zone: the crotch zone 28.
  • This crotch area 28 can for example be designed as an extension, down and forward, from the rear area 26.
  • the elasticity of the crotch area 28 is more particularly useful when the user spreads his legs.
  • the swimsuit 10 also includes zones in which the or the panels are not elastic.
  • it is essentially the belt 12, panels 30 located on the front face of the jersey, and panels 32 arranged at the lower end of the rear face of the legs 16.
  • a material which, not necessarily being elastic will be abrasion resistant. Indeed, these are the panels that will be most exposed to abrasion when the swimsuit is used by a surfer, who passes a part not negligible of his time lying on his stomach on his board. Other criteria, such as lightness and speed of drying can be taken into account in the choice of this material.
  • the skilled person can choose different types of materials, in particular fabrics incorporating at least part of the elastic fibers such than spandex fibers.
  • the degree of elasticity of the material can be adjusted by choosing the amount of elastic fibers present in the fabric.
  • material has elasticities varying according to the direction of elongation considered.
  • provision can be made for the elastic material to be an elastic film.
  • the jersey has several elastic zones it is possible that the materials elastic are not the same from one zone to another and that they present elasticity characteristics different from one zone to another.
  • each of the areas described above can be produced in a single panel or in several panels.
  • a jersey according to the invention may not include all the elastic zones described above.
  • we will thus obtain a swimsuit which, by its loose cut, will not have the disadvantages, lack of comfort, aesthetic, tight-fitting swimsuits but, on the other hand, unlike swimsuits classic loose cut in inextensible material, will allow to obtain all the freedom of movement desirable for the practice of sport and especially surfing.
