EP1405574A2 - Trousers or undergarment particularly for horse sports - Google Patents

Abstract

The padding is integrated into the trousers or pants and fixed, and can also be removed. The trousers are seamless in the rider's crutch/seat area and have two layers in the crotch area (3) to create one or several insertion pockets (4). The pocket(s) are fastened by Velcro fasteners or other mechanical fasteners to prevent the padding from sliding out of the pants. An Independent claim is made for the padding.

Description

The invention relates to trousers or underpants, in particular riding breeches or Riding underpants in the crotch area, especially in their to the pubic area of the wearer part coming to the plant is double-walled, double-walled in this Area a protective pad is provided.

Such riding underpants are known from DE 147 071 C, in which a lower leg dress for Tab is described, which is characterized in that the permanent or temporary Contact with the saddle and the body of the mount coming from the underpants have a double wall, between the layers of which there is a correspondingly thick layer an elastic and sweat absorbing soft fibrous material, which for Reduction of the occurring bumps and friction and to absorb the sweat serves at the points of contact.

This padding inserted in the area of the double wall of the lower leg dress provides is just a layer of a soft fibrous material, which on the one hand is intended to serve to reduce occurring bumps and friction and on the other hand to absorb sweat. It is therefore a substantially flat cushion layer without any special shape.

Cycling pants are known from the field of cycling, but not in the crotch area are double-walled, but there to protect the affected body parts and in particular also of the genitals have protective deposits that cover these parts of the body Protect the driver from the highest pressure and friction stresses.

So from EP 0 776 615 A2 a pair of cycling trousers for men and women is known Has insert, which is made of a single, flat or flat piece of material and is cut symmetrically with respect to the plane of symmetry of the cyclist, wherein in this plane of symmetry there is no seam in the insert, which is in the sensitive area the body of the cyclist on which he supports his weight on the bicycle saddle, could make it noticeable that no thickenings are formed there, which the could injure sensitive body tissue in this zone. This well-known insert will only on their outer, no longer burdened by the pressure of the driver's body weight Edges sewn into the textile bike pants and, due to special incisions etc., is the Body shape of the cyclist slightly adapted spatially. Nonetheless, the insert itself is but made from a single, flat piece and does not specifically show the anatomy of the Driver adapted shape. As already mentioned above, this insert is also included the bike pants firmly connected.

A removable insert designed as a seat cushion is known from DE 101 00 593 C1 known. It describes a pair of trousers, in particular cycling trousers, which are used in Has removable pant pad arranged with special, on the Underside of the seat cushion provided tabs can be inserted into the receiving elements are provided on the inside of the pants. This means that the seat cushion can be removed at any time the bike pants can be removed.

The seat cushion itself also has no special anatomical fit for the rider Training on, it is only wider in the seat bone area of a driver's pelvis than in front pubic area and overall flat.

The insoles or described with reference to the known bicycle pants described above Seat pads are not suitable for special breeches or riding underpants. You can the body areas that come into direct contact with the saddle when riding, especially in the pubic area of the rider, not significantly from the pressure there and the Relieve frictional movements, which are inevitable, especially when riding. The rider must regulate the movements of the horse through active pelvic movements or support, thereby the main load of the rider on the saddle over the two Buttocks and pubic bone derived. The seat of the saddle, for example at an English-style saddle, is raised at the front (front weasel) and narrow and then follows rear into a wider seat. Depending on the model, the elevation of the forebies can increase and fit, vary.

The rider constantly rubs his pubic area with the movements of the pelvis Saddle, resulting in injuries caused by friction and pressure. Because the basin of the rider but is the most important transmitter for the rider's steering aids to the horse the pubic area of the rider can not be spared or relieved when the rider maintain correct riding style and do not want to irritate his horse. So this means that with Prolonged riding also worsens the pubic area. So sticks for example, the underpants often on the rubbed, sometimes even bloody and burning parts of the body. Although the rider can see the damaged parts of the body after the Treat riding with an ointment or the like, but will find that even then physical complaints, especially when urinating. This Impairments naturally increase with professional riders who have no time have the wound spots healed before they sit on the horse again. This soreness then misleads the rider by trying to take one Caring posture or due to pain-related sliding back and forth on the saddle Relieve pain, but on the other hand, this prevents the correct and quiet fit and thus the exact impact of the weight aids on the horse.

In women, the inner labia and clitoris are particularly stressed and worn out the riding then chafed. In men, the area of scrotum and especially the testicles, but also the penis root.

The inserts for cycling pants known from the field of bicycle sports can prescribed physical strain and even injury to the body of the Do not prevent Reiters in his pubic area, since they ultimately through their flat or extensive training on the corresponding parts of the body of the wearer of such pants lie fully over the pubic area.

Gel-filled pads for the seat of the saddle are also known commercially under the name "Gel seat cushion". Such protective pads are also not for the purpose suitable for riding because the full seat is filled with gel. This results in the rider a "spongy" sitting feeling and consequently he can exercise on the horse Do not control steering movements precisely.

It is now the object of the invention to describe the disadvantages described above in the introduction To avoid pants or underpants, especially breeches or riding underpants, in particular, however, to ensure that the rider keeps his horse for a very long time can steer perfectly without closing his most sensitive parts of the body in the pubic area hurt. The pants or underpants should also be suitable for cyclists.

This goal is achieved in that the protective pad of the aforementioned pants or underpants has a spatial shape and is anatomically adapted to the female or male pubic area.
The three-dimensional anatomical adaptation of the protective cushion makes it possible for the first time to provide suitable physical seat supports for the female or male wearer in order to relieve the vulnerable pubic areas of the female or male wearer. The anatomical adaptation of the spatial shape of the protective cushion makes it possible to shape it according to the wishes of the respective wearer in such a way that an extremely comfortable and particularly physically gentle seat is made possible.

According to the invention, the protective pad is designed as a molded part that remains spatially spaced from the pressure-sensitive areas of the woman and man (labia and clitoris or testicle and penis root area) when the pants or underpants are worn and only at those areas of the body that are sensitive to them , less sensitive side leg areas and the rear buttocks area.
Due to the anatomically simulated spatial shape of the protective pad of the respective female or male pubic areas and especially the design of the protective pad as a molded part, the shape of the protective pad can ensure that the most sensitive pubic areas of women and men are in direct contact with one another while sitting in the saddle remain free or at least essentially free with the appropriate protective cushion area. This naturally avoids chafing or pressure points from the outset.

The protective cushion designed as a molded part can advantageously be produced from a waterproof film which is designed as a cushion which is adapted to the respective anatomical shape of the pubic area of the man or woman and is filled with gel.
This above-described training of the protective cushion represents a particularly hygienic training of the same, since a waterproof film as the outer layer of the protective cushion can be maintained perfectly hygienically. However, other materials for the production of the molded part are also conceivable, for example foam plastics which are highly elastic with a required stiffness.

The protective cushion designed as a molded part can advantageously also be formed in several parts. Such training may be required by the carrier for various reasons be desired, especially depending on whether it is a man or a male Woman acts. Due to the anatomical differences between a woman and a man can be due a multi-part design of the protective cushion or the protective cushion forming Molding an individual adjustment in the pubic area can be provided.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the pants or underpants, the double-walled area thereof is shaped as an insertion pocket into which the protective pad or the molded part can be inserted and also removed again.
Such an insert pocket makes it possible to fix the protective pad formed as a molded part in the trousers or underpants and to secure it against slipping etc. without it having to be sewn firmly into the trousers.

The double-walled area of the pants or underpants advantageously extends so far forward and backward over the pubic area that the seams which delimit the double-walled area in the abdomen and back area of the pants or underpants no longer in the contact or pressure area of the body of the Bear with the saddle surface.
It is important here that the part of the pants or underpants that lies in the pressure area of the pubic area of the wearer does not have any seams, since these regularly represent elevations or thickenings that specifically increase the pressure on the sensitive parts of the body of the wearer and thus specifically cause injury to these areas. Due to the fact that the double-walled area of the pants or underpants in the abdomen and in the back area is drawn up particularly towards the belt line, the seams are no longer in the delicate area described above.

On the other hand, the double-walled area has no seams in the area where the inner sides of the legs of the carrier come to rest.
This avoids that in the area of the inner sides of the legs of the wearer, especially in the transition area to the pubic area, there are no special pressure points, the double-walled area or the insertion pocket formed therewith is sufficiently held by the seams in the abdominal or back area.

In an advantageous further development of the pants or underpants, the inner layer of the double-walled area of the pants or underpants facing the body region of the wearer can be made removable or detachable from them.
In this way it can be achieved that the inner layer of the double-walled area can be quickly replaced without having to change the entire pair of pants or underpants.

In a further embodiment, the inside of the pants or underpants lying under the inner layer of the double-walled area of the pants or underpants has holding means which serve to fix and / or hold the inner layer of the double-walled area of the pants or underpants lying directly against the pubic area of the wearer.
Such holding means for the inner layer of the double-walled area are extremely advantageous, since they allow the inner layer to be replaced quickly and thus make hygiene maintenance easier.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the inside of the pants or the pants, which is located under the inner layer of the double-walled area of the pants or pants, has a holding means which serves to fix and / or hold the one-part or multi-piece molded part to be used there.
If the double-walled area of the pants or underpants and especially the slide-in pocket designed in this area is not exactly adapted to the molded part or the multi-part molded part, this or these can shift during wear within the double-walled area, but this is caused by a separate and adapted to the one or more parts of the molded part and also the individual arrangement of the molded part or the molded parts within the double-walled area of the pants or underpants prevents special holding means.

The holding means are advantageously designed in the form of Velcro fasteners.
Such Velcro fasteners made of textile materials do not impair the wearing comfort in any way, in particular also not because these Velcro fasteners are arranged below the protective cushion formed as a molded part.

The object of the invention and mentioned above is achieved in particular by a one-part or multi-part protective padding for the insert in the pubic area of a pair of pants or underpants, which is designed as a molded part that anatomically forms the individual pubic area of a woman or a man in a special shaping process is adjusted.
Such a protective pad can protect the pubic or genital area of a woman or a man particularly well from wounds, since it is precisely adapted to the particular physical characteristics of the man or woman and consequently also best adapted to the wearer with regard to its training.

The invention is described below using the example of a pair of women's underpants and on the basis of the Figures illustrated in more detail below illustrated examples.

The pants shown in the figures are riding underpants, namely one for women. On such a pair of women's riding underpants, it is about a pair of pants in a so-called slip shape, the invention shown below by way of example, can be of course analogous to riding underpants with attached legs and in particular also on men's riding underpants and ultimately also on riding breeches for riders apply.

The riding pant 1 shown in Figures 1 to 4 consists essentially of a Blank 2, specifically as such in Figures 3 and 4 in a flat developed position is shown, and is sewn together at the side hip regions 3, as in FIGS. 1 and 2 shown.

As can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the riding underpants are in their leg area Front part 4, as usual with briefs, cut higher than on back part 5.

The crotch area 6 is double-walled, i.e. is on the inside 7, as in FIG. 3 shown, a correspondingly tailored inner layer 8, which easily from the same Material such as the cut 2 of the riding underpants can be provided, the inner Position 8 in this area with respect to the dimension exactly the crotch area 6 of the Cut 2 is adjusted.

This inner layer 8 creates an insertion pocket 9 in the crotch region 6, into which a pocket 9 is inserted Protective cushion can be inserted, which, as described in more detail below, as Molding 10 is formed.

The inner layer 8 is fastened to the blank 2 by means of seams 11, for example it is essential that these seams 11 both in the area of the front part 4 and in the area the back part 5 are pulled very high towards the belt line. This is intended to achieve that the seams, which ultimately represent thickening and therefore uncomfortable pressure points can cause, from the actual seating area, ie from the pressure area between the body of the rider on the one hand and the saddle surface on the other. For this reason, the inner layer 8 is in the area where the inside of the legs come to the rider, there are no seams.

Instead of fastening the inner layer 8 with seams, this could also be done by means of special Holding means 12, for example Velcro strips, take place on the cut on the one hand and with a second part on the underside of the inner layer 8 which may be required are provided.

As can further be seen from FIG. 4, on the inside 7 of the blank 2 in Crotch area 6, in the middle and especially in the area of the riding underpants, which for comes directly to the pubic area of the rider, a special holding means 13 adapted to a protective pad 10 to be inserted in this area provided that can be formed in any suitable form, advantageously also as a Velcro fastener.

The protective pad 10 to be inserted and fastened in this area is shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 and shows its special spatial shape with which it is here described embodiment is anatomically adapted to the female pubic area.

5, the molded part 10 has a mirror-symmetrical shape, where the mirror plane lies in the plane of symmetry of the human body.

The molded part 10 furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, has an essentially partial shape Configuration, with the higher area the front area 14 of the molding 10 and the in contrast, flat or tapering area the rear area 15 of the molded part 10 forms.

As can be seen particularly well from FIG. 5 but also from FIG. 7, the upper side 16 of the molded part 10 has a recess 17, which is provided for this, the particular sensitive parts of a woman's pubic area, namely labia and clitoris to protect an immediate pressure load and the in this area by the Body weight on the one hand and the saddle surface on the other hand, resulting pressure from these to divert sensitive areas of the body and redirect them to the less sensitive adjacent inner leg surfaces.

When it comes to shaping such a molded part 10, it is important that it be as possible is exactly adapted to the individual pubic area of a rider, it should possibly even by means of a special shaping process for each rider be customized.

It is essential that 10 such sharp edges and other when forming such a molded part Bumps are avoided.

The underside 18 of the molded part 10 is relatively flat, but could also be The saddle surface can be modeled in this seating area.

The molded part itself can consist of different materials, for example one Protective cushion made of a waterproof film, which acts as a cushion filled with gel is trained. Such a molded part 10 would be hygienically very easy to maintain.

As can finally be seen in FIG. 6, the molded part 10 has on its underside 18 a counter-holding means 19, which together with the holding means 13 shown in FIG Non-slip connection guaranteed.
