Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Element für den Einsatz in Bekleidungsstücken für sportliche Betätigungen wie Joggen, Skating, Schilaufen oder dergleichen sowie dessen Verwendung. Die Erfindung betrifft außerdem ein Verfahren zur Entfeuchtung von Hautbereichen, insbesondere bei sportlichen Aktivitäten.The invention relates to an element for use in garments for sporting activities such as jogging, skating, skiing or the like and its use. The invention also relates to a method for dehumidifying skin areas, in particular during sports activities.

Bekleidung dient zum Schutz des Menschen, insbesondere zum Schutz gegen die Witterung. Unter bestimmten Bedingungen, beispielsweise bei sportlichen Aktivitäten dient die Bekleidung darüber hinaus zum Schutz gegen Verletzungen. Außer bei hohen Außentemperaturen besteht die Bekleidung überwiegend aus mehreren verschiedenen Bekleidungsstücken, die in mehreren Lagen übereinander getragen werden. Die äußerste Schicht der Bekleidung hat dabei im Wesentlichen die Aufgabe, wind- und wasserabweisend zu sein, um ein Auskühlen des Menschen durch Wind zu vermeiden und ihn bei Niederschlag gegen das Eindringen von Wasser in Kleidung zu schützen.Clothing is used to protect humans, especially for protection against the weather. In addition, under certain conditions, such as sporting activities, the garment protects against injury. Except for high outside temperatures, the clothing consists mainly of several different garments, which are worn in several layers one above the other. The outermost layer of clothing has essentially the task of being wind and water repellent, to avoid cooling of the people by wind and to protect him from precipitation against the ingress of water in clothing.

Insbesondere bei mehrlagiger Bekleidung kann Schweißanfall entstehen. Bei sportlicher Betätigung des Menschen ist dieser Schweißanfall überdurchschnittlich hoch. Durch die Schweißbildung ist der Tragkomfort der Bekleidung deutlich reduziert. Vor allem in den Zonen, in denen der stärkste Schweißanfall auftritt, entsteht ein unangenehmes Gefühl auf der Haut, was zudem beim anschließenden Abkühlen nach sportlicher Betätigung die Gefahr von Erkältungen, Verspannungen oder dergleichen erhöht. Um diese Gefahren zu reduzieren ist man bemüht, einen Abtransport des Schweißes zu ermöglichen. Hierzu ist es bekannt, Bekleidungsstücke auf ihrer der Haut zugewandten Seite mit Frottee (terry-loops) zu versehen, die eine Aufnahme der Feuchtigkeit ermöglichen sollen. Ein Nachteil der so ausgebildeten Bekleidungsstücke besteht darin, dass das Frottee zwar die Feuchtigkeit aufnimmt, diese jedoch nicht von der Haut abführt, sondern in sich aufsaugt. Hierdurch verbleibt die Feuchtigkeit im Bekleidungsstück, sodass nach sportlicher Betätigung die Bereiche der Bekleidung, die die Abschnitte hohen Schweißanfalls bedecken, feucht sind. Sie stehen weiterhin mit der Haut in Berührung. Dies führt zu einem unangenehmen Gefühl auf der Haut. Das unangenehme Gefühl wird insbesondere dadurch verstärkt, dass im Anschluss an sportliche Betätigung sowohl der Mensch als auch die Bekleidung auskühlt und somit die kalte Feuchtigkeit in der Kleidung mit der Haut in Berührung kommt.Especially with multi-layered clothing can cause sweat. In sports activity of humans, this sweat attack is above average. The formation of perspiration significantly reduces the wearing comfort of the clothing. Especially in the zones where the strongest sweat occurs, an unpleasant feeling on the skin, which also increases the subsequent cooling after exercise, the risk of colds, tension or the like. In order to reduce these risks, efforts are made to allow the removal of sweat. For this purpose, it is known to provide garments on their side facing the skin with terry (terry loops), which should allow a recording of moisture. A disadvantage of the garments thus formed is that the terry absorbs the moisture, but does not dissipate it from the skin, but absorbs it. As a result, moisture remains in the garment so that after exercise, the areas of clothing covering the high sweat areas are wet. They continue to be in contact with the skin. This leads to an unpleasant feeling on the skin. The unpleasant sensation is exacerbated in particular by the fact that, following exercise, both the human and the clothing cool down and thus the cold moisture in the clothing comes into contact with the skin.

Aus der DE 297 15 762 U1 ist zwar ein klimaregulierender Strumpf bekannt, der mit einem Luftkanal zur besseren Klimatisierung des Fußes versehen ist. Bei Strümpfen tritt das Problem eines Abkühlens jedoch kaum auf, da der Strumpf in der Regel in festem Schuhwerk untergebracht ist. Aus diesem Grund ist auch der Schutz gegen Eindringen von Wasser bei Strümpfen von untergeordneter Bedeutung. Aus der US 6 139 929 ist darüber hinaus eine Socke bekannt, bei der zwischen zwei Lagen eine wasserdichte aber wasserdampfdurchlässige Membran angeordnet ist, wobei die Membran mit den beiden Lagen verklebt ist.From the DE 297 15 762 U1 Although a climate-regulating stocking is known, which is provided with an air duct for better air conditioning of the foot. For stockings, the problem occurs Cooling, however, hardly on, as the stocking is usually housed in sturdy shoes. For this reason, the protection against ingress of water in stockings is of minor importance. From the US 6,139,929 In addition, a sock is known in which a waterproof but water vapor permeable membrane is disposed between two layers, wherein the membrane is bonded to the two layers.

Hinsichtlich des Abtransports von Feuchtigkeit in Form von Schweiß ist aus der US 5 378 529 ein Feuchtigkeit aufsaugender Stoff sowie ein daraus hergestelltes Kleidungsstück bekannt. Die Feuchtigkeit wird dabei von einem Futter aufgenommen, welches mit Entwässerungskanälen verbunden ist, die die Feuchtigkeit zu Speichervolumen transportieren, wo die Feuchtigkeit absorbiert wird. Weiterhin ist aus der US 6 263 511 ein atmungsaktives Kleidungsstück bekannt, bei dem unter einer Außenabdeckung und einer Polsterschicht zwei parallele Lagen vorgesehen sind, zwischen denen ein welliges Gewebe angeordnet ist. Durch das wellige Gewebe sind Zwischenräume ausgebildet, durch die Feuchtigkeit zu Auslasslöchern des Kleidungsstücks strömen kann.With regard to the removal of moisture in the form of sweat is out of the US 5,378,529 a moisture absorbing fabric and a garment made therefrom known. The moisture is thereby absorbed by a feed, which is connected to drainage channels, which transport the moisture to storage volume, where the moisture is absorbed. Furthermore, from the US 6,263,511 a breathable garment known in which under an outer cover and a cushion layer, two parallel layers are provided, between which a wavy tissue is arranged. The undulating fabric defines gaps through which moisture can flow to outlet holes of the garment.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Element für den Einsatz in Bekleidungsstücken für sportliche Betätigungen zu schaffen, das einerseits den Abtransport des anfallenden Schweißes von der Haut verbessert und ein Verdunsten der entstehenden Feuchtigkeit ermöglicht, andererseits die Aufnahme des nicht verdunsteten Teils der Feuchtigkeit vom Gewebe bewirkt und gleichzeitig ein Auskühlenan den besonders belasteten Stellen verhindert. Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe durch ein Element mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide an element for use in garments for sports activities, on the one hand improves the removal of the resulting sweat from the skin and allows evaporation of the resulting moisture, on the other hand, the recording of the non-evaporated part of the moisture Tissue and at the same time prevents it from cooling down in the most exposed areas. According to the invention, this object is achieved by an element having the features of patent claim 1.

Mit der Erfindung ist ein Element für den Einsatz in Bekleidungsstücken für sportliche Betätigungen geschaffen, das den Abtransport des anfallenden Schweißes wesentlich verbessert und einen Schutz gegen Auskühlen bildet.With the invention, an element for use in garments for sports activities is created, which significantly improves the removal of the resulting sweat and forms a protection against cooling.

Außerdem besteht durch die modulare Anordnung solcher Elemente in ein Kleidungsstück die Möglichkeit, das Kleidungsstück optimal auf bestimmte Körperstellen und deren Schweißanfall abzustimmen. Hierdurch ist die Herstellung eines Kleidungsstückes möglich, das auf die jeweilige Belastung durch erhöhte oder niedrigere Temperatur mit einer jeweils darauf abgestimmten Klimazone reagiert, wodurch insgesamt der Leistungsbereich des Körpers erweitert wird.Moreover, the modular arrangement of such elements in a garment makes it possible to optimally match the garment to certain body parts and their perspiration. This makes it possible to produce a garment that responds to the particular elevated or lower temperature load with a particular climate zone, thereby extending the overall performance of the body.

In Ausbildung der Erfindungfist zwischen den Stegen und der Haut ein weiterer Hohlraum gebildet, der seitlich von den Rippen begrenzt ist. Durch die Hohlräume ist zwischen der Haut und der Umgebung ein Luftpolster geschaffen, das einen Temperaturausgleich zwischen der bei sportlichen Aktivitäten hohen Körpertemperatur und den beispielsweise im Winter geringen Umgebungstemperaturen hervorruft. Hierdurch wird ein Kältegefühl auf der Haut vermieden. Im umgekehrten Fall (Umgebungstemperatur höher als Hauttemperatur - also beispielsweise im Sommer) tritt ein gegensätzlicher Effekt ein. Insgesamt ist dadurch das Wohlbefinden wesentlich verbessert.In an embodiment of the invention, a further cavity is formed between the webs and the skin, which is bounded laterally by the ribs. Through the cavities between the skin and the environment an air cushion is created, which is a temperature compensation between which causes high body temperature during sports activities and, for example, low ambient temperatures in winter. As a result, a feeling of coldness on the skin is avoided. In the opposite case (ambient temperature higher than skin temperature - for example, in summer), an opposite effect occurs. Overall, the well-being is significantly improved thereby.

In vorteilhafter Ausbildung der Erfindung ist das Garn des Gewebes beschichtet. Die Beschichtung erfolgt vorzugsweise galvanisch, wodurch unter anderem gewährleistet ist, dass die Beschichtung die gesamte Oberfläche des Garnes abdeckt. Bevorzugt besteht die Beschichtung aus Silber, Kupfer oder Gold. Diese Beschichtungen haben eine magnetisch abschirmende Wirkung. Silber und Kupfer verhindern zudem die Ausbreitung von Bakterien bzw. töten diese ab. Hierdurch wird eine deutliche Reduzierung des Schweißgeruchs bewirkt.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the yarn of the fabric is coated. The coating is preferably carried out galvanically, which ensures inter alia that the coating covers the entire surface of the yarn. Preferably, the coating consists of silver, copper or gold. These coatings have a magnetic shielding effect. Silver and copper also prevent the spread of bacteria or kill them. This causes a significant reduction in the odor of sweat.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist das klimaregulierende Element auf der der Haut abgewandten Seite mit Befestigungselementen versehen. Diese sind vorzugsweise als Klettverschluss ausgebildet. Die Befestigungselemente ermöglichen eine nachträgliche Bestückung von Kleidungsstücken mit Klimazonen.In a further embodiment of the invention, the climate-regulating element is provided on the side facing away from the skin with fastening elements. These are preferably designed as Velcro. The fasteners allow the retrofitting of garments with climatic zones.

Der Erfindung liegt weiterhin die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zu schaffen, mit dem Feuchtigkeit effektiv und kontinuierlich von der Haut weg transportiert werden kann. Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 6 gelöst.The invention is further based on the object to provide a method by which moisture can be effectively and continuously transported away from the skin. According to the invention, this object is solved by the features of patent claim 6.

Mit der Erfindung ist ein Verfahren zur wirksamen Entfeuchtung von Hautbereichen, insbesondere im Zuge sportlicher Aktivitäten geschaffen. Durch die Ableitung der Feuchtigkeit mittels Kapillarwirkung über Textilrippen von der Haut weg zu einer textilen Oberfläche wird eine Verlagerung der Verdunstungsfläche erzielt. Diese Verlagerung hat eine kontinuierliche Trocknung der Hautoberfläche zur Folge.With the invention, a method for effective dehumidification of skin areas, especially in the course of sporting activities created. By dissipating moisture by capillary action via textile ribs away from the skin to a textile surface, a displacement of the evaporation surface is achieved. This shift results in a continuous drying of the skin surface.

Zudem wird die Entfeuchtung der Hautbereiche dadurch optimiert, dass die Körperwärme mit Hilfe von Luftkammern genutzt wird, um den Feuchtefluss durch die Textilrippen zu beschleunigen.In addition, the dehumidification of the skin areas is optimized by using the body heat with the aid of air chambers to accelerate the moisture flow through the textile ribs.

Das beispielhaft in Figur 1 dargestellte Klimaelement 3 basiert auf einem Gewebe 32, welches wellenförmig angeordnet ist. Das so angeordnete Gewebe 32 wird an seiner Oberseite von einem Haltegewebe 33 überdeckt. Das Element 3 liegt auf den mit Schweißperlen 35 benetzten Haut 34 elastisch auf. Das Element 3 weist darüber hinaus erste und zweite Hohlräume 36 und 37 auf. Das Gewebe 32 und das Haltegewebe 33 sind im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 1 mit einer Beschichtung 38 versehen.The example in FIG. 1 illustrated air element 3 is based on a fabric 32 which is arranged wave-shaped. The fabric 32 thus arranged is covered on its upper side by a holding fabric 33. The element 3 rests elastically on the skin 34 wetted with perspiration pearls 35. The element 3 also has first and second cavities 36 and 37. The fabric 32 and the holding fabric 33 are in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 provided with a coating 38.

Durch die wellenförmige Anordnung des Gewebes 32 ist eine wechselseitige Aneinanderreihung von Stegen 321 und Rippen 322 erzielt. Die Rippen 22 bilden mit dem Haltegewebe 33 den ersten Hohlraum 37. Zwischen den Stegen 321 des Elementes und der Haut 34 sind die zweiten Hohlräume 36 gebildet. Die zweiten Hohlräume 36 werden an ihren Seiten begrenzt durch die auf der Haut 34 aufliegenden Rippen 322. Die Stege 321 weisen im Ausführungsbeispiel die doppelte Breite wie die Rippen 322 auf.The wave-shaped arrangement of the fabric 32, a mutual juxtaposition of webs 321 and ribs 322 is achieved. The ribs 22 form with the holding fabric 33 the first cavity 37. Between the webs 321 of the element and the skin 34, the second cavities 36 are formed. The second cavities 36 are bounded on their sides by the ribs 322 resting on the skin 34. In the exemplary embodiment, the webs 321 have twice the width of the ribs 322.

Das Element 3 ist aus unterschiedlichen Materialien hergestellt. Der Rippengrund 3221 ist aus einem Material A hergestellt. Dieses Material ist geeignet, Feuchtigkeit, insbesondere in Form von Schweiß, besonders schnell aufzunehmen. Die Rippenwände 3222 sind aus einem Material B hergestellt. Dieses hat eine Dochtfunktion, die bewirkt, dass der Schweiß von der Haut 34 weg in Richtung der Stege 321 transportiert wird. Die Stege 321 bestehen aus einem Material C. Das Material C ist in der Lage, die vom Material B in Richtung der Stege 321 geförderte Feuchtigkeit an die Umgebung abzugeben, also für eine Verdunstung Sorge zu tragen. Die Verdunstungsfläche ist dabei von der Haut 34 wegverlegt. In den Übergangsbereichen zwischen den einzelnen Materialien ist eine Mischung der Materialien möglich. So befindet sich zwischen den Materialien A und B bzw. B und C jeweils eine Materialkombination, wie dies auch Figur 2 zu entnehmen ist.The element 3 is made of different materials. The rib bottom 3221 is made of a material A. This material is suitable to absorb moisture, especially in the form of sweat, particularly fast. The rib walls 3222 are made of a material B. This has a wicking function which causes the sweat to be transported away from the skin 34 in the direction of the webs 321. The webs 321 are made of a material C. The material C is able to deliver the moisture conveyed by the material B in the direction of the webs 321 to the environment, ie to ensure evaporation. The evaporation surface is moved away from the skin 34. In the transition areas between the individual materials, a mixture of materials is possible. So is located between the materials A and B or B and C respectively a combination of materials, as well as FIG. 2 can be seen.

Aufgrund der sehr schmalen Ausführung der Rippen 322 kommt es zu einer nur punktuellen Berührung des Elementes 3 mit der Haut 34. Dabei sind die mit der Haut in Berührung stehenden Rippengrunde 3221 nicht ganz so hydrophob, wie die übrigen Bereiche des Elementes. Durch die kapillare Wirkung (Dochtwirkung) der Rippenwände 3222 von der Haut 34 weg, entsteht auch bei äußerst hohem Schweißanfall ein trockenes Gefühl auf der Haut.Due to the very narrow design of the ribs 322, only a selective contact of the element 3 with the skin 34 occurs. The ribbed bases 3221 in contact with the skin are not quite as hydrophobic as the remaining regions of the element. The capillary effect (wicking) of the rib walls 3222 away from the skin 34 results in a dry feeling on the skin even in the case of an extremely high amount of perspiration.

Darüber hinaus ist durch die Verwendung verschiedener Materialien ein optimierter Fluss der Feuchtigkeit erzielt. Durch die von der Haut 34 abstrahlende Körperwärme wird der Fluss der Feuchtigkeit nach außen zusätzlich unterstützt.In addition, the use of different materials achieves an optimized flow of moisture. By radiating from the skin 34 body heat the flow of moisture to the outside is additionally supported.

Das Gewebe 32 und das Haltegewebe 33 sind im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 1 - abschnittsweise - mit einer Beschichtung 38 versehen. Die Beschichtung 38 erfolgt vorzugsweise galvanisch. Sie besteht aus Kupfer, Gold, Polytetrafluorethylen oder - besonders bevorzugt - aus Silber. Mit Hilfe der unterschiedlichen Beschichtungen sind unterschiedliche Wirkungen erzielbar. Beispielsweise kann mit Hilfe von Kupfer bzw. Silber eine antifungizide Wirkung erzielt werden. Eine Beschichtung aus Polytetrafluorethylen bewirkt dagegen eine Reduzierung der Reibung auf der Haut.The fabric 32 and the holding fabric 33 are in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 - Sectionally - provided with a coating 38. The coating 38 is preferably galvanic. It consists of copper, gold, polytetrafluoroethylene or - most preferably - silver. With the help of different coatings different effects can be achieved. For example, an antifungal effect can be achieved with the aid of copper or silver. A coating of polytetrafluoroethylene, however, causes a reduction in friction on the skin.

Der zweite Hohlraum 36 hat die Funktion einer Luftkammer und dient als Wärmespeicher, der den Steg 321 aufheizt. Bei dem Verfahren nach der Erfindung wird das Gewebe 32 mit Textilrippen 322 angefertigt, mit dem Feuchtigkeit mittels Kapillarwirkung von der Haut 34 weg zu den Stegen 321, die die textile Oberfläche bilden, geleitet wird. Durch die hierdurch beschleunigte Verdunstung 351 auf der verhältnismäßig großen Oberfläche des Steges 321 wird ein Unterdruck in den anliegenden Rippenwänden 3222 bewirkt, der wiederum eine Erhöhung des Feuchteflusses weg von der Haut 34 indiziert. Die Verdunstungsleistung der Stege 321 ist somit um so höher, um so mehr Wärme von der Haut 34 abgegeben wird.The second cavity 36 has the function of an air chamber and serves as a heat storage, which heats the web 321. In the method according to the invention, the fabric 32 is made with textile ribs 322, with which moisture is conducted by capillary action away from the skin 34 to the webs 321 forming the textile surface. The thereby accelerated evaporation 351 on the relatively large surface of the web 321, a negative pressure in the adjacent rib walls 3222 is effected, which in turn indicates an increase in the moisture flow away from the skin 34. The evaporation rate of the webs 321 is thus higher, the more heat is released from the skin 34.

In Figur 4 ist schematisch die Arbeitsweise des Verfahrens bei sportlicher Aktivität dargestellt. Darin bezeichnet TH die Temperatur der Haut (entspricht angenähert der Körpertemperatur), TK die Temperatur in der Luftkammer (zweitem Hohlraum 36) und TU die Umgebungstemperatur. Es ist dabei der Fall dargestellt, dass die Umgebungstemperatur TU geringer ist als die Hauttemperatur TH, woraus folgt, dass die Temperatur in der Luftkammer TK geringer ist als die Hauttemperatur, aber größer als die Umgebungstemperatur. Es wird somit eine anforderungsgerechte Hautentfeuchtung bewirkt. Befindet sich der Körper in Ruhe, wird wenig Wärme von der Haut abgegeben und es liegt eine geringe Entfeuchtungsleistung vor - sowie ein geringes Schweißaufkommen. Im Zuge sportlicher Aktivität steigt die Schweißbildung an sowie auch die Hauttemperatur, wodurch eine ebenfalls hohe Entfeuchtungsleistung bewirkt wird.In FIG. 4 is schematically illustrated the operation of the procedure during physical activity. Therein, T H denotes the temperature of the skin (corresponds approximately to the body temperature), T K the temperature in the air chamber (second cavity 36) and T U the ambient temperature. It is shown the case that the ambient temperature T U is lower than the skin temperature T H , from which it follows that the temperature in the air chamber T K is less than the skin temperature, but greater than the ambient temperature. It is thus an appropriate skin dehumidification causes. If the body is at rest, little heat is released from the skin and there is a low dehumidification performance - and a low sweat. In the course of physical activity increases the formation of sweat and the skin temperature, which also causes a high dehumidification performance.

In Form der als Luftkammern fungierenden Hohlräume 36 und 37 sind außerdem Bereiche vorgesehen, die als Luftpuffer dienen. Hierdurch ist eine weitere Verbesserung der Klimaregulierung hervorgerufen. Der erste Hohlraum 37 wird nämlich ebenfalls kontinuierlich durch die von der Haut abgestrahlte Wärme aufgeheizt. Hierdurch ist insbesondere bei kalten Witterungsbedingungen ein Puffer zwischen der aufgeheizten Haut und der kalten Umgebungsluft geschaffen, sodass sich ein angenehmes Tragegefühl einstellt. Zudem bewirkt die insgesamt elastische Ausbildung des Elementes eine Kompressionswirkung, die die Blutdruckerhaltung verbessert, wodurch die Zellversorgung gesteigert ist. Zudem ist eine Verringerung der Muskelvibration indiziert. Bevorzugt kommt bei der Herstellung des Elementes keine geschnittene Ware zum Einsatz.In the form of acting as air chambers cavities 36 and 37 areas are also provided which serve as an air buffer. This brings about a further improvement in climate regulation. Namely, the first cavity 37 is also heated continuously by the heat radiated from the skin. This is especially in cold weather conditions created a buffer between the heated skin and the cold ambient air, so that sets a comfortable fit. In addition, the overall elastic formation of the element causes a compression effect, which improves the blood pressure maintenance, whereby the cell supply is increased. In addition, a reduction in muscle vibration is indicated. Preferably, no cut product is used in the production of the element.
