Abstract

The material for the jacket is assembled of a watertight and strong outer layer and an inner layer designed as a functional membrane. Moisture is guided from inside the jacket through the membrane resistant against wind acting on its outer surface. The outer layer is fitted with several watertight zip fasteners located at the appropriate spots to be opened for ventilation (1) if required. The cool air guided across the membrane (B) has no negative cooling effect on the user.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft Funktionsbekleidung mit mindestens einer Außenschicht und einer Innenmembran.The invention relates to functional clothing with at least one outer layer and an inner membrane.

Moderne Funktionsbekleidung vereint heutzutage scheinbar widersprüchliche Merkmale. Zum einen zeigt sie sich undurchlässig gegen von der Außenseite einwirkendes Wasser, beispielsweise in Form von Regen, und Wind, bietet jedoch zum anderen eine Atmungsaktivität, die es erlaubt, Wasserdampf von der Innenseite nach außen abzuführen. Diese Eigenschaftskombination ermöglicht, dass der Träger der Funktionsbekleidung bei körperlich anstrengenden Betätigungen in widrigen Wetterbedingungen möglichst trocken bleibt und eine Unterkühlung durch Verdunstungskälte vermieden wird.Modern functional clothing today combines seemingly contradictory Characteristics. For one thing, it is impermeable to the outside acting water, for example in the form of rain, and Wind, on the other hand, offers a breathability that allows Dissipate water vapor from the inside to the outside. This property combination allows the wearer of functional clothing at physically demanding activities in adverse weather conditions remains as dry as possible and a subcooling by evaporative cooling is avoided.

Insbesondere bei Funktionsbekleidung für den Motorradsport werden Obermaterialien verwendet, die zur Erhöhung der Haltbarkeit eine rückwertige Beschichtung aufweisen. Diese erzeugt zwar eine reiß- und abriebfeste Schutzschicht, reduziert jedoch die Wirkung der in der Bekleidung eingearbeiteten Membran.Especially in functional clothing for motorcycle sports Upper materials used, which for the increase of the durability a backward Have coating. Although this produces a tear and abrasion resistant Protective layer, but reduces the effect of the incorporated in the clothing Membrane.

Bekannte Funktionsbekleidung, insbesondere Jacken und Hosen, weisen vielfach eine durch einen Reißverschluß verschließbare Lüftungsöffnung auf, die durch Öffnen des Reißverschlusses Außenschicht und Innenmembran gleichzeitig öffnet. Diese Öffnung dienen der Lüftung der unterhalb der Innenmembran liegenden Kleidungs- oder Körperschichten. Ein Nachteil dieser durchgehenden Lüftungsöffnungen ist, dass ihre Kühlfunktion lokal auf die Bereiche der Öffnungen eingeschränkt ist und es beispielsweise bei Regen durch die Lüftungsöffnung zum Eindringen von Wasser kommt. Dies führt zu einem ungleichförmigen Wärmehaushalt des Körpers und einem durch lokale Abkühlung erzeugten unangenehmen Gefühl des Trägers.Known functional clothing, in particular jackets and pants have often a closable by a zipper ventilation opening on, by opening the zipper outer layer and inner membrane opens at the same time. This opening are used for ventilation below the Inner membrane lying clothing or body layers. A disadvantage This through-going vents is that their cooling function is local is limited to the areas of the openings and it is for example at Rain through the vent opening to get in the water. This leads to a non-uniform heat balance of the body and one by local cooling generated unpleasant feeling of the wearer.

Abhängig von dem Material der Außenschicht, wird die Funktion der Innenmembran zudem eingeschränkt. So hat es sich in der Praxis gezeigt, daß die Funktionsmembran nicht ihre volle Wirkung entfalten und beispielsweise Wasserdampf nach außen abführen kann.Depending on the material of the outer layer, the function of the inner membrane becomes also restricted. So it has been shown in practice that the functional membrane does not unfold its full effect and for example Water vapor can dissipate to the outside.

Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Funktionsbekleidung vorzuschlagen, die die vorgenannten Nachteile des Standes der Technik vermeidet. Against this background, the invention is based on the object To propose functional clothing, which the aforementioned disadvantages of Prior art avoids.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Funktionsbekleidung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.This task is accomplished by a functional clothing with the characteristics of Claim 1 solved. Advantageous embodiments are in the subclaims specified.

Die Erfinder haben erkannt, daß die Atmungsaktivität einer Funktionsmembran, beschrieben durch den Wasserdampfdurchgangswiderstand, in hohem Maße von der Temperaturdifferenz zwischen Innen- und Außenseite der Membran abhängt.The inventors have recognized that the breathability of a functional membrane, described by the water vapor passage resistance, in high Dimensions of the temperature difference between inside and outside depends on the membrane.

Die Erfindung baut nun auf dem Grundgedanken auf, das Klima innerhalb der Bekleidung dadurch zu verbessern, indem die Funktionsmembran unterhalb der Außenschicht durch eine Luftströmung gekühlt wird. Dadurch wird die Temperaturdifferenz zwischen Innen- und Außenseite der Membran erhöht und ein besserer Wasserdampftransport erreicht.The invention is based on the basic idea, the climate within thereby improving the clothing by the functional membrane below the outer layer is cooled by an air flow. Thereby becomes the temperature difference between inside and outside of the membrane increased and achieved a better water vapor transport.

Die erfindungsgemäße Funktionsbekleidung weist eine verschließbare, insbesondere wasserdicht verschließbare Lüftungsöffnung in der Außenschicht auf, die ohne die Innenmembran ebenfalls zu öffnen, geöffnet werden kann. Damit kann die Innenmembran unterhalb der Lüftungsöffnung geschlossen gehalten werden und eine Luftströmung in einen Zwischenraum zwischen Außenschicht und Innenmembran geleitet werden. Dies wird besonders dann erreicht, wenn die Innenmembran überhaupt keine oder zumindest im Bereich der Lüftungsöffnung der Außenschicht keine Öffnung aufweist.The functional clothing according to the invention has a closable, in particular waterproof closable ventilation opening in the outer layer open, which can also be opened without opening the inner membrane. This allows the inner membrane to be closed below the ventilation opening be held and an air flow in a space between Outer layer and inner membrane are passed. This will be special then reached when the inner membrane no or at least in Area of the ventilation opening of the outer layer has no opening.

Die Innenmembran kann jedoch auch mit einer eigenen, unabhängig von der Außenschicht öffenbaren Lüftungsöffnung ausgebildet sein. Sind beide Lüftungsöffnungen übereinander angeordnet, kann ein Durchgriff durch Außenschicht und Innenmembran erfolgen, um beispielsweise Gegenstände aus dem Inneren der Funktionsbekleidung hervorzuholen. Das Öffnen der Außenschicht und der Innenmembran kann zudem bei Fahrten mit geringer Geschwindigkeiten, oder bei Pausen, insbesondere bei hohen Außentemperaturen, vorteilhaft sein. Besonders vorteilhaft ist, wenn das Verschlussmittel der inneren Lüftungsöffnungen vom Inneren der Jacke zugänglich ist.However, the inner membrane can also have its own, regardless of the outer layer can be opened openable ventilation opening. Are both Ventilation openings arranged one above the other, can pass through outer layer and inner membrane done, for example, objects to get out of the inside of the functional clothing. Opening the Outer layer and the inner membrane can also be used for trips with less Speeds, or during breaks, especially at high outside temperatures, be beneficial. It is particularly advantageous if the closure means the internal vents from the inside of the jacket is accessible.

Durch den direkten Kontakt der Membranoberfläche mit der kühlenden Außenluft kann das volle Potential der Membran ausgeschöpft werden. Gleichzeitig bleibt die Schutzwirkung der beispielsweise reiß- und abriebfesten ausgebildeten Außenschicht voll erhalten.Due to the direct contact of the membrane surface with the cooling outside air the full potential of the membrane can be exploited. simultaneously remains the protective effect of, for example, tear and abrasion resistant fully developed outer layer.

Die Lüftungsöffnung ist erfindungsgemäß derart ausgebildet, daß sie sowohl geöffnet, als auch vollständig geschlossen sein kann. Durch vollständiges Schließen der Lüftungsöffnung wird verhindert, daß durch die Lüftungsöffnung, beispielsweise bei Regen, Wasser zwischen Außenschicht und Innenmembran gelangt. So wird verhindert, daß bei nassen Außenverhältnissen ein Auskühlungseffekt eintritt. Die Erfinder haben nämlich erkannt, daß Wasser auf der Außenseite der Innenmembran zu einem erhöhten Wärmetransfer durch die Innenmembran nach außen führt und so eine Auskühlung hervorruft.The ventilation opening according to the invention is designed such that it both opened, as well as can be completely closed. Through complete Closing the ventilation opening prevents that through the ventilation opening, for example, in rain, water between outer layer and inner membrane arrives. This prevents that in wet outdoor conditions a cooling effect occurs. The inventors have recognized that Water on the outside of the inner membrane to increased heat transfer through the inner membrane leads to the outside and so a cooling causes.

Die Außenschicht ist vorzugsweise aus Textil, insbesondere reiß- oder abriebfestem Textil ausgebildet. Je nach Verwendungszweck können jedoch als Außenschicht auch andere Materialien, wie beispielsweise Leder verwendet werden. The outer layer is preferably made of textile, in particular tear or abrasion resistant Textile formed. Depending on the intended use, however as outer layer, other materials such as leather used become.

Die Funktionsbekleidung ist vorzugsweise als Jacke oder Hose ausgeführt. Sie kann jedoch auch in Form anderer Bekleidungsstücke, beispielsweise Handschuhen, Schuhen, Overalls oder dergleichen ausgeführt sein. Die Funktionsbekleidung ist vorzugsweise eine Motorradbekleidung, eine Skibekleidung, eine Wander- oder Outdoorbekleidung oder eine Segelbekleidung.The functional clothing is preferably designed as a jacket or pants. However, it can also take the form of other items of clothing, for example Gloves, shoes, overalls or the like. The Functional clothing is preferably a motorcycle clothing, a ski clothing, a hiking or outdoor clothing or a sailcloth.

Die Innenmembran ist vorzugsweise windundurchlässig und/oder atmungsaktiv ausgebildet. So kann ein Wasserdampftransport von der Innenseite der Jacke an die Außenschicht der Innenmembran und von dort durch die Außenschicht und/oder durch eine Luftströmung zwischen Außenschicht und Innenmembran abgeführt werden.The inner membrane is preferably wind impermeable and / or breathable educated. So can a water vapor transport from the inside the jacket to the outer layer of the inner membrane and from there through the Outer layer and / or by an air flow between the outer layer and inner membrane are discharged.

Vorzugsweise weist die Funktionsbekleidung mehrere Lüftungsöffnungen auf. Diese können zwischen sich einen Strömungsbereich für eine Luftströmung ausbilden. Durch eine entsprechende Anordnung mehrerer Lüftungsöffnungen können insbesondere in Verbindung mit entsprechend angeordneten Verläufen von Nähten, welche die Außen- und Innenschicht miteinander verbinden, besondere Strömungsbereiche entstehen, die für eine möglichst großflächige Überströmung der Membranoberfläche sorgen.The functional clothing preferably has a plurality of ventilation openings on. These can create a flow area for an air flow between them form. By a corresponding arrangement of several ventilation openings can in particular be arranged in conjunction with accordingly Gradients of seams which interconnect the outer and inner layers connect, creating special flow areas that are as possible for one provide large-area overflow of the membrane surface.

Bei einer als Jacke ausgebildeten Funktionsmembran sind die Lüftungsöffnungen besonders bevorzugt im Bereich der Vorderarme und/oder an der Vorder- und/oder Rückseite der Jacke in Brusthöhe angeordnet. Dadurch kann eine Umströmung der Armbereich und des oberen Brust- und Rückenbereichs erreicht werden. Die Luftströmung folgt dabei beispielsweise der Strömungsrichtung des Fahrtwindes auf einem Motorrad: Eintritt durch Öffnungen im Bereich der Unterarme und Brust, Austritt durch die Öffnungen im Rückenbereich. Ein Fallschirmeffekt, durch den erhöhten Luftwiderstand beim Durchströmen der Funktionsbekleidung kann so minimiert werden.In a functional membrane designed as a jacket, the ventilation openings particularly preferably in the region of the forearms and / or on the Front and / or back of the jacket arranged at chest height. Thereby can be a flow around the arm area and the upper chest and back area be achieved. The air flow follows, for example, the Flow direction of the wind on a motorcycle: entry through openings in the area of the forearms and chest, exit through the openings in the back area. A parachute effect, due to the increased air resistance when flowing through the functional clothing can be minimized.

Als besonders vorteilhaft hat sich die Anordnung von Längsöffnungen im Bereich der Ärmel und von Queröffnungen im Bereich von Brust und Rükken gezeigt. Alternativ können die Lüftungsöffnungen im Bereich von Brust und Rücken beispielsweise von oben nach unten verlaufen.To be particularly advantageous, the arrangement of longitudinal openings in Area of the sleeves and of transverse openings in the area of the chest and back shown. Alternatively, the vents in the area of chest and back, for example, from top to bottom.

Die Lüftungsöffnungen sind vorzugsweise wasserdicht verschließbar ausgeführt. Dies ist besonders bei dem Einsatz in starkem Regen vorteilhaft, weil ein Eindringen von Wasser in die Zwischenschicht verhindert wird. Als Verschluss kann insbesondere ein Reißverschluß verwendet werden, der insbesondere Wasserabweisend beschichtet sein kann. Ferner kann der Reißverschluß textile Ober- und/oder Unterlaschen aufweisen, die die Zähne des Reißverschlusses überdecken und die Dichtigkeit des geschlossenen Reißverschlusses erhöhen.The ventilation openings are preferably made waterproof closable. This is particularly advantageous when used in heavy rain, because penetration of water into the intermediate layer is prevented. When Closure can be used in particular a zipper, the can be coated in particular water repellent. Furthermore, the Zipper textile upper and / or lower flaps, which have the teeth cover the zipper and the tightness of the closed Increase zipper.

Alternativ oder ergänzend kann die Lüftungsöffnung durch einen Klettverschluß verschlossen werden. Um hierbei ein Eindringen von Wasser zu vermeiden, können die an die Lüftungsöffnung angrenzenden Kanten der Außenschicht so fixiert werden, dass die eine Kante die andere Kante überlappt und ein Ablaufen des Wassers sicherstellt.Alternatively or additionally, the ventilation opening by a Velcro closure be closed. In order to prevent ingress of water avoid, the adjacent to the vent edges of the Outer layer can be fixed so that one edge the other edge overlaps and ensures drainage of the water.

Weiterhin kann in den Lüftungsöffnungen ein netzartiges Material angeordnet sein. Dieses Netz wird durch die Lüftungsöffnungen umgebende Nähten gehalten und beschränkt den Öffnungsbereich der Lüftungsöffnungen. Vorteilhafterweise ist das netzartige Material derart gewählt, dass die Luftströmung durch die Lüftungsöffnungen möglichst gering beeinflusst wird, ein Eindringen von Fremdkörpern in die Zwischenlage jedoch wirksam verhindert wird.Furthermore, a net-like material can be arranged in the ventilation openings be. This net becomes sutures surrounding the vents holds and limits the opening area of the vents. advantageously, is the reticulated material chosen such that the air flow is influenced as little as possible by the ventilation openings, a However, penetration of foreign bodies in the intermediate layer effectively prevented becomes.
