Description

The invention relates to a garment with ventilation device, a zipper suitable for this purpose and a suitable garment assembly.

The term item of clothing is intended here to include all body-covering objects, in particular footwear, gloves and headgear.

There are garments, for example, for motorcyclists, which have a high wind resistance, preferably also waterproofness, and a correspondingly low air permeability, with correspondingly low ventilation of the inside of the garment, which can be unpleasant on warm days.

From the US 5,845,336 A and the US Pat. No. 6,263,510 B1 Jackets for motorcyclists are known, which are provided with a ventilation device which is formed by a more or less closable by means of a zipper ventilation opening through which ventilation air can reach the inside of the Jakke. In order to prevent too wide opening of the ventilation opening and the ingress of foreign bodies, such as pebbles and insects, the ventilation opening is backed with a net-like material that runs parallel to the zipper in both known jackets on the inside of the zipper and thus parallel to the Zipper level extending, not opening second closure level forms. In the case of US 5,845,336 A Side margins-the mesh material are sewn to textile layers of the jacket, with which also textile strips are sewn, to which the closing chains of the zipper carrying sidebands of the zipper are attached. In the case of US Pat. No. 6,263,510 B1 the two lateral ends of the net material are connected to one of the two sidebands of the zipper. In both Cases, the width of the net material is dimensioned so far that the zipperable opening of the jacket for ventilation can be opened wide enough.

Depending on whether the user of the motorcycle jacket ventilation requirement exists or not, the zipper is opened or kept closed. When open, ventilation air can pass through the net material behind the zipper to the inside of the motorcycle jacket.

To protect the ventilation openings against the ingress of water, they are in both known jackets with cover strips, also called Flaps, provided by means of Velcro fasteners in a closed state, in which they cover the zipper of the ventilation opening, and in an open state which leave the zipper of the ventilation opening free, can be fixed.

Since the two zipper sides are held together even with the zipper open by the net material, so a complete free opening of the zipperable with the zipper jacket opening is not possible in these known solutions, the ventilation device not in the front opening of the jacket to put on and take off the jacket must be opened, be provided. The ventilation device known from the two publications mentioned is therefore suitable only for secondary openings of the jacket, for example in the breast pocket area or in the shoulder area. Therefore, with such a ventilation device, only a relatively small ventilation opening with a correspondingly limited ventilation effect can be realized.

If ventilation is required during motorcycling because it is getting too hot, or if you want to close the ventilator while riding the motorcycle, for example, when it starts to rain, the zipper must be opened or closed while driving, with one hand in a relatively thick motorcycle glove stuck. The operation of the zipper while driving is therefore tedious, takes a correspondingly long time and brings because of the correspondingly long-lasting distraction and the steering of the motorcycle with only one hand a corresponding hazard potential.

To protect the motorcyclist from rain and / or splashes and to ensure breathability of the motorcycle jacket, the motorcycle jacket is in accordance with the US 5,845,336 A equipped with a waterproof, water vapor permeable functional layer.

From the EP 0 405 062 B1 It is known to provide the front zipper of jackets or coat-like garments, which are equipped with a waterproof and water-vapor-permeable functional layer, with a cover strip lying above the zipper and an intermediate strip arranged between the zipper and the cover strip, which are each made watertight to prevent the penetration of water to the front zipper.

From the WO 96/24263 Furthermore, a piece of clothing is known which has ventilation areas in the back region, in the shoulder area or in lateral chest areas located between a central zip and the sleeve extensions. Each ventilation area is provided with air passage openings provided with a closure element adaptable to the ventilation demand, which is adjustable so as to close off all, only a part or none of the air passage openings. For this purpose, each of the closure elements is provided with a closing device, for example a zipper, with which it is possible to completely close or completely or partially open the associated ventilation areas.

Actuation of the closure means of such a closure element during gloved motorcycle riding is difficult and therefore problematic.

From the BMW company in Munich, Germany, there is a motorcycle rider jacket sold under the name "BMW Canyon", which has an inner zipper for opening and closing the jacket in the front area and an outer zipper for closing two Abdeckleistenteile. The inner one Zipper is connected to two leather jacket frontpings. The two cover panels each comprise an outer layer of closed leather and a vented inner layer loosely connected to the outer layer. From the outer zipper off the side edges of the cover strips are connected by means of an air-permeable seam with the upper of the jacket such that when open cover strips through the ventilation holes between the inner layer and the outer layer reached air can reach the inside of the jacket. Also in this jacket, a zipper must be opened or closed to adjust to ventilation and to adjust for non-ventilation, which, as already mentioned, is problematic with a gloved hand. In addition, there is the problem that when opened for ventilation cover strips whose provided with the ventilation openings inner layers are pressed by the resulting wind speed at higher wind pressure against the outer layers of the cover strips such that the ventilation stops working.

Out JP 11-346810 AA is a zipper known whose side bands are provided with ventilation holes.

Out US5 586 369 A1 A double-layer zipper tape is known, the two layers of which are interconnected for ventilation purposes by means of a stiff connecting thread at a distance, wherein one of the layers relative to the other layer has a coupling provided with supernatant, which has a coarse mesh structure to obtain the Schweißdurchlässigkeit than the other layer.

The invention has for its object to provide a garment with a ventilation device that allows for a large-scale ventilation to the inside of the garment out with security and in the case of a jacken or coat-shaped garment ventilation in the front closure allows without opening a front zipper it should not be necessary to operate a zipper slider for the activation of the ventilation device, which is difficult to perform with rough gloves, as in the case of a motorcyclist, the ventilation device of a motorcycle jacket while driving the motorcycle in the ventilation state would like to bring, and wherein in the case of the adjustment on ventilation It should also be possible to adapt the ventilation to different ventilation requirements. This object is achieved with a garment assembly according to claim 1 or 3 and with a garment according to claim 16. Embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims. The fact that in a garment according to the invention, the ventilation material is not arranged in front of or behind the main closure device parallel to this, as in the two US patents mentioned above, but in a lateral continuation, ie laterally to the main closure device, On the one hand, the ventilation device according to the invention does not constitute an obstacle to open the main closure device as far as desired, and on the other hand ventilation is possible even when the main closure device is closed. Therefore, the ventilation device according to the invention can also be arranged in the region of the front or front closure of a jakken- or coat-shaped garment. Because the ventilation device according to the invention limits, unlike the two known ventilation devices, the opening width of the main closure device, thus hindering not so opening a front zipper, as it may not be for putting on or taking off a jacken or coat-shaped garment. And ventilation via the ventilation device according to the invention also does not require a partial or complete opening of the main closure device.

A front closure of an example jacket-like garment can achieve a significantly higher ventilation effect than the pocket-like ventilation openings of the jackets according to the above-mentioned US patents.

Since in the case according to the invention in aeration position befindlicher arrangement, the ventilation material can be flowed through by ventilation air and is not deposited with an air-impermeable layer as in the said BMW jacket, effective ventilation is possible without hindrance even at high speeds and corresponding air pressure.

The ventilation material of a ventilation device according to the invention can be arranged on both sides of the main closure device or only on one side of the main closure device. This also applies if the ventilation material is integrated in a zipper by at least one of the two side bands or both sidebands of the zipper are made aerated by being constructed with ventilation material.

The invention provides a garment with a main closure device and an auxiliary closure device, wherein the main closure device for removably connecting opposing edges of two garment piece parts constructed with garment material and having two releasably connected main closure sides each connected to one of the two garment edges;
wherein at least one of the two main closure sides is connected to the associated garment edge via a ventilation material forming a ventilation device, via which the inside of the garment is accessible even when the main ventilation device is closed, and wherein the auxiliary closure device is designed as a cover strip which is movable relative to the main closure device between a closed position in which it covers at least the ventilation material, and an open position in which it leaves the ventilation material free.

Therefore, the main closure device does not have to be opened first in order to put the ventilation device in a ventilated state. Thus, in the most likely case that the main closure device is a zipper, it does not need to be actuated to operate the aeration device, which is particularly difficult with powerful motorcyclist gloves.

In the case of using a zipper as a main closure device according to a first aspect of the invention, a conventional zipper be used with preferably textile side bands, which are connected at their not connected to the lock chains longitudinal sides each with a first longitudinal side of a Belüftungsmaterialstreifens whose second longitudinal side with the Upper material of the garment is connected. One will preferably try to use zippers whose sidebands have as much as possible the same color as the aeration strips.

This color matching problem does not exist when using a zipper whose sidebands are themselves constructed with ventilation material. In such a zipper, the sidebands are preferably wider than a conventional zipper to provide a larger vent area than if the ventilating sidebands of the zipper were not wider than the sidebands of conventional zippers. By using such a zipper according to the invention, on the one hand, the color matching problem is avoided and on the other hand the labor involved in making the garment is reduced because two seams are eliminated, namely those seams which would have to be made using a conventional zipper between the sidebands and the two sheets of aeration material.

In a zipper used according to the invention, the side bands have different material densities in their transverse extension direction in one embodiment. In the area of the sideband edge to which the closing chain of the zipper is fastened, the material density is higher in order to be able to fasten the closing chain elements securely to the sidebands, while the material density in the remaining region of the sidebands is lower and has a higher porosity, in order to achieve a higher aeration effectiveness to achieve. It is also possible to make the material density at the two side band edges higher and to provide only the middle area therebetween with less material density in order to sew the side bands better with the upper of the garment can.

Building the sidebands of the zipper itself with venting material or joining the side straps of a conventional zipper with separate venting material strips are not mutually exclusive alternatives. There may also be cases in which it is advantageous to combine a zipper according to the invention with ventilation-capable sidebands with separate ventilation material strips, for example in order to set special color accents, for the sidebands of the zipper and the separate aeration strips of different colors are chosen.

According to a second aspect of the invention, the ventilation device according to the invention can be combined together with the main closure device and the additional closure device forming cover strip to a garment assembly and delivered as a unit to the manufacturer of the garment.

The ventilation device according to the invention is suitable not only for main closure devices in the form of zippers but also for other main closure devices, for example in the form of hook-and-loop fasteners and magnetic closures.

The ventilator-equipped closure device of a garment according to the invention may be, for example, a front closure of a jacket or coat-like garment, but also other closures, for example for releasably closing a passage to an inside of the garment or releasably closing a pocket opening of the garment. However, the main closure device can also be a device for detachably connecting two interchangeable clothing item parts, for example trouser leg parts or sleeve parts, with which a short leg pants can be supplemented to a long leg pants or a short sleeve to a long sleeve, or together by means of an openable closure device held pants or sleeve seam sections.

A ventilation device according to the invention is not only suitable for motorcyclist clothing but also as a garment for cyclists or skiers or for occupational protective clothing.

For motorcyclist clothing, it is particularly advantageous because motorcyclist's clothing for safety reasons and to provide sufficient wind speed at high speeds windshield, is substantially impermeable to air, so it especially on hot days and at slow speeds there is a need for supply of cooling air to the inside of the garment.

Especially in the case of use as Mtitorradfahrer clothing, the waterproofness of the garment is an important consideration. Therefore, motorcycle rider clothing today is waterproofed by either using a waterproof upper or by placing a waterproof functional layer on the inside of the water- and air-permeable upper, preferably also permeable to water vapor, to maintain the breathability of the garment, which removes perspiration moisture allowed to the outside of the garment.

To arrange a ventilation device in the region of the front closure of a piece of clothing brings with garments, which are equipped with such a functional layer, a further advantage. If one arranges the ventilation device pocket-like outside of the front closure of a garment, for example in the chest or shoulder area, as in the jackets according to the above-mentioned US patents, you have to break through the functional layer at this point, because otherwise the airtight functional layer would act as a ventilation stop. This requires a great deal of effort since the functional layer in the region of the ventilation opening, in particular in the area of the seams required in connection with the ventilation device, must be sealed around the ventilation device. The present invention, however, allows the arrangement of the ventilation device in the region of the front closure of a jacket-like garment, ie in a region in which the functional layer must be interrupted anyway.

In order to prevent ventilation during such times during which ventilation by the ventilation device according to the invention is not required or desired, for example in cool temperatures or strong wind, the cover strip is provided, which covers the ventilation device in a closed state, and in the case in that ventilation is desired, can be brought into an open state in which they leaves the ventilation device free. In the case of a waterproof garment, the cover strip is preferably also waterproof to prevent the passage of both cooling air and water to the inside of the garment in its closed state. In the case of a garment with a waterproof and water-vapor-permeable functional layer and the cover strip is preferably equipped with a water- and air-permeable upper and provided with a waterproof and water vapor permeable functional layer to block the breathability of the garment in the cover strip.

A particularly high level of protection against the penetration of water to the ventilation device is achieved if, according to an embodiment of the invention between the main closure device and the cover strip still arranges an intermediate strip which covers the ventilation device in a closed state, wherein the cover strip and the intermediate strip preferably on attached to different sides of the main closure device to the upper and preferably the free end of the intermediate strip is folded around itself to the outside to create a collecting labyrinth for water and wind. These measures are particularly advantageous in motorcyclist's clothing, to prevent water from being propelled by the wind to the aeration device.

In order to keep the cover strip and optionally also the intermediate strip in its closed position, the cover strip and the upper of the item of clothing or, when using an intermediate strip, the cover strip and the intermediate strip are provided with releasable, complementary closing elements, by means of which the cover strip can be kept in the closed state. It is particularly preferred to provide the cover strip and possibly also the intermediate strip with releasable fixing elements, by means of which they can be releasably fixed in their open state, so that the ventilation device is not blocked by an inadvertent closing of the cover strip and possibly the intermediate strip at ventilation demand.

The cover strip and possibly also the intermediate strip can be fixed to a respective longitudinal end of the main closure device and beaten from there over the main closure device or beaten away from it. In most cases, it will be preferable to attach the cover strip and possibly also the intermediate strip next to the longitudinal sides of the main closure device, so that they can be beaten and struck away from the respective longitudinal side of the main closure device via the main closure device and the ventilation device.

In the case of using a waterproof and preferably also water vapor permeable functional layer special measures are taken to waterproof seams, by means of which individual components of the cover strip or the intermediate strip to each other and the cover strip or the intermediate strip are attached to the upper of the garment, and waterproof to prevent the ingress of water through such seams. For this purpose, such seams can be made waterproof, for example, with a seam sealing tape, or by being formed as waterproof adhesive seams.

In one embodiment of the invention, the ventilation device is provided with additional components, for example a pocket, a main closure device and / or a light-reflecting device, which is arranged in or on the ventilation material.

In a garment that is provided with a ventilation device according to the invention and a cover strip and optionally has an intermediate strip, the user of the garment, for example a motorcyclist, to open or close the ventilation device only the cover strip and possibly also the intermediate strip to turn over, from the open state in the closed state or vice versa to provide ventilation or non-ventilation. This is also possible with one hand, which is in a thick glove, in no time at all and without any problems, so that such an operation can be easily performed while riding a motorcycle. This particular when the closure elements, which holds the cover strip and possibly also the intermediate strip in its closed or in its open state, magnetic elements, so that the opening and closing of the ventilation device by appropriately moving the cover strip and optionally the intermediate strip by means of a simple wiping movement the gloved hand of the motorcyclist can be performed.

According to the invention, the ventilation device in addition to the ventilation material on a ventilation throttle device by means of which no ventilation and maximum ventilation an intermediate ventilation stage with throttled ventilation is selected for the two possibilities. In a throttle position, the ventilation throttle device is arranged parallel to the ventilation material and this at least partially overlapping and reduces the amount of entering into the jacket interior ventilation air. In a release position, the vent throttle device releases the vent material and does not cause vent throttling. In one embodiment, the ventilation throttle device is formed by the fact that the cover strip and / or the intermediate strip is divided into at least two strip parts, which are independently movable into an open position or a closed position. The ventilation performance depends on how many strip parts are in the open position. In another embodiment, the ventilation throttle device is formed by the fact that between the ventilation material and the cover strip or - if available - the intermediate strip a throttle bar is arranged relative to the ventilation material between a closed position in which it covers at least a portion of the ventilation material, and a Open position in which it leaves the venting material is free, is movable, wherein the throttle bar is constructed with a ventilation throttle material having an air permeability value which is less than the air permeability value of the ventilation material. It is also possible to combine both variants of the ventilation throttle device with each other. In this case, one comes to further gradations of a throttled ventilation.

Suitable materials for the waterproof, water-vapor-permeable functional layer are in particular polyurethane, polypropylene and polyester, including polyether esters and their laminates, as described in the publications US-A-4,725,418 and US-A-4,493,870 are described. However, particularly preferred is stretched microporous polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), as described for example in the publications US-A-3,953,566 such as US-A-4,187,390 and stretched polytetrafluoroethylene provided with hydrophilic impregnating agents and / or hydrophilic layers; see for example the publication US-A-4,194,041 , A microporous functional layer is understood to mean a functional layer whose average pore size is between about 0.2 m and about 0.3 m.

The pore size can be measured with the Coulter Porometer (trade name) manufactured by Coulter Electronics, Inc., Hialeath, Florida, USA.

As a "waterproof" is a sheet such as a functional layer or water-repellent upper material, optionally including waterproof seams, considered if it withstands a water inlet pressure of at least 1x10 ⁴ Pa. Preferably, the functional layer material will withstand a water inlet pressure greater than 1x10 ⁵ Pa. The water inlet pressure shall be measured by a test method in which distilled water is applied at 20 ± 2 ° C to a sample of 100 cm ^{2 of} the functional layer with increasing pressure. The pressure increase of the water is 60 ± 3 cm Ws per minute. The water inlet pressure then corresponds to the pressure at which water first appears on the other side of the sample. Details of the procedure are given in ISO standard 0811 from the year 1981.

As a "water vapor permeable" a sheet such as a functional layer is considered, if it has a water vapor transmission rate Ret of less than 150 m2xPaxW-1. The water vapor permeability is tested according to the Hohenstein skin model. This test method is described in DIN EN 31092 (02/94) or ISO 11092 (1993).

The air permeability of fabrics is determined according to European standard EN ISO 9237 (1955) and expressed in l / m ² / s. The ventilation material of the ventilation device according to the invention has an air permeability value of at least about 30 to 40 l / m ² / s. In practical embodiments of the invention, the vent material has a much higher air permeability value in the range of 100 l / m ² / s to 1000 l / m ² / s or even higher. The air permeability value of the aeration choke material is at least about 30 to 40 l / m ² / s, but may also be considerably higher, for example in the range of about 100 l / m ² / s to 400 l / m ² / s or even higher.

At the in Fig. 1 The garment shown as an example is a jacket 11 with a front closure with a main closure device in the form of a zipper 13 and an additional closure device in the form of a cover strip 31. As better in Fig. 4a can be seen, the zipper 13 comprises two textile sidebands 15 and 17, at their mutually facing longitudinal side edges each have a closing chain with a series of closing elements 19 in the form of teeth, spiral staples or grooves are attached. By moving one only in Fig. 1 shown slide 21, the closing chains can be hooked into each other for closing and unhooked to open.

The side bands 15 and 17 of the zipper 13 are not attached directly at the edges of the two to be closed with the zipper 13 jacket parts 23 and 25 but with the interposition of a respective ventilation strip 27 and 29, each consisting of a ventilation material. The aeration material is preferably a textile material such as woven, knitted, knitted, felted, knit or woven fabric of a type such that it has a relatively high air permeability, with an air permeability value of at least about 30 to 40 l / m ² / s, which may be much higher in practical embodiments, for example in the range of about 100 l / m ² / s to 1000 l / m ² / s or even above. In one embodiment of the invention, the ventilation material used is a textile fabric having a knitted mesh structure available under the trade name Cordura®AFT from Rökana and having an air permeability value of more than 765 l / m ² / s.

Fig. 4b shows an embodiment of the invention in which the side bands 15a and 17a of the zipper 13 itself consist of ventilation material,
the side straps 15a and 17a preferably having a greater width than the side straps 15 and 17 of conventional zippers to provide adequate ventilation surfaces. Also for the side bands 15a and 17a of this zipper 13 is the above-mentioned material Cordura®AFT.

As in the lower part of the Fig. 1 is shown in the region of a section line II-II, the zipper 13 and the ventilation strips 27 and 29 can be covered by the cover 31, if the ventilation on the ventilation strips 27 and 29 is not desired.

Fig. 2 shows in non-scale and schematically a cross-sectional view of a section of the front part of the jacket 11 along the in Fig. 1 shown section line II-II. The zipper 13 with its sidebands 15 and 17 and the closing elements 19 arranged thereon in an interlocking form can be seen, as well as the ventilation strips 27 and 29 of the ventilation device on both sides of the sidebands 15 and 17. In this case, the side bands 15, 17 of the zipper 13 and the ventilation strips 27 and 29 of the ventilation device are sewn together by means of a double seam 33 and 35 at their mutually adjacent longitudinal side edges. The remote from the zipper 13 longitudinal side edges of the ventilation strips 27 and 29 are by means of a seam 37 and 39 at an in Fig. 2 left garment edge 41 and right garment edge 43 attached.

To save another figure shows Fig. 2 on the right side and on the left side different embodiments in terms of the used Layers of material. However, this does not mean that you make jackets that have a different structure on both sides of the zipper 13.
The right side of Fig. 2 shows an embodiment with a so-called LTD liner construction, wherein LTD stands for liner-to-drop. This is a construction for a waterproof, water vapor permeable garment in which an upper 45 and a functional liner 47 separated therefrom are used. The functional lining 47 consists of a laminate which has a waterproof, water vapor permeable functional layer and a lining layer. The upper 45 may or may not have a functional layer.

It is advantageous in the LTD liner construction that an extra liner can be saved, resulting in a lighter jacket construction, and that one has greater freedom in terms of design on the upper side than when using both the upper and the functional layer laminate. By using the separate upper 45 in the LTD liner construction, pockets can be sewn onto the upper and embroidery applied regardless of the conditions that would be required for the functional layer or interfering with the function of the functional layer. While one would have to seal all seams for bags and embroideries with seam sealing tape using a laminate containing the topsheet and the functional layer, there is no need for the LTD liner construction because the functional lining 47 is not affected by such seams.

The left side of the Fig. 2 does not show a LTD liner construction but a construction with a laminate 46 having an upper layer and a functional layer and a non-functional lining 48.

At the in Fig. 2 In the embodiment shown, in the region of the zipper 13 and the ventilation strips 27 and 29, the cover strip 31 already mentioned and also an intermediate strip 49 are provided between the cover strip 31 and the zipper 13. In this embodiment, the cover strip 31 and the intermediate strip 49 are from the body of the user Jacket seen on the outside of the zipper. But the two strips 31 and 49 can also be arranged on the inside of the zipper 13, as later with reference to Fig. 8 will be explained in more detail.

In the embodiment of the Fig. 2 the cover strip 31 has a fixed cover strip side in Fig. 2 seen to the right of the zipper 13 and the right ventilation strip 29 and a free Abdeckleistenseite 53 in Fig. 2 seen to the left of the zipper. The intermediate strip 49 has a fixed intermediate strip side 55 in Fig. 2 seen to the left of the zipper 13 and the left breather 27 and a free intermediate strip side 57, which would lie with extended intermediate strip 49 to the right of the zipper 13, but is located above the zipper 13, since its free end is folded back upwards. This results in a Umschlagrinne 59, which intercepts between the cover 31 and the intermediate rail 49 advised water.

The cover strip 31 has a covering strip outer part 61 lying outside the zipper 13 and a covering strip inner part 63 located on its inside. The intermediate strip 49 has on its outer side an intermediate strip outer part 65 and on its inside an intermediate strip inner part 67. The cover strip outer part 61 and the intermediate strip outer part 65 consist of the upper 45 of the jacket 11, while the cover strip inner part 63 and the intermediate strip inner part 67 are made of the material of the functional lining 67 or another material having a functional layer. The Abdeckleistenaußenteil 61 and the Abdeckleisteninnenteil 63 are connected to the free Abdeckleistenseite 53 by means of a double seam 69 with each other. The intermediate strip outer part 65 and the intermediate strip inner part 67 are fastened to one another on the free intermediate strip side 57 by means of a double seam 71.

In the Fig. 2 Right sides of Abdeckleistenaußenteil 61 and Abdeckleisteninnenteil 63 are fastened by means of a double seam 73 or by means of a double seam 75 at the associated edge of the upper material 45 and the functional lining 47. In the Fig. 2 left ends of the intermediate strip outer part 65 and of the intermediate strip inner part 67 are fastened by means of a double seam 77 or a single seam 79 to the associated edge of the upper functional layer laminate 46 or the lining 48.

In the area of the fixed cover strip side 51, on the inside of the covering strip outer part 61, there is arranged a cover strip-side intermediate strip part 81, the one of which is in FIG Fig. 2 right side by means of the double seam 73 on Abdeckleistenaußenteil 61 and the associated edge of the upper 45 and in the vicinity of his in Fig. 2 left side by means of an adhesive seam 83 with the Abdeckleisteninnenteil 63 is waterproof connected. The cover strip-side middle intermediate part 81 has a waterproof functional layer. Water on the in Fig. 2 left side of the adhesive seam 83 has penetrated through the material of Abdeckleistenaußenteils 61, therefore, can not reach the right side of the adhesive seam 83 and thus to the seams 39, 73 and 75. The double seam 75 is sealed watertight on the outside of the cover strip inner part 63 and the functional lining 47 by means of a seam sealing tape 85, so that water which has penetrated the double seam 73 and / or the upper 45 located on the right does not reach the seams 39 and 75 and thus can penetrate to the inside of the jacket 11.

The intermediate strip outer part 65 is provided in the region of the fixed intermediate strip side 55 on its inner side with an intermediate strip-side intermediate strip part 87 which, on its in Fig. 2 left side by means of the double seam 77 both on the intermediate strip outer part 65 and on the associated edge of the upper functional-layer laminate 46 and in the vicinity of its in Fig. 2 right side by means of a waterproof adhesive seam 89 to the outside of the intermediate strip inner part 67 is connected watertight. The double seam 77 is sealed on the inside by means of a seam sealing tape 91.

In the Fig. 2 left adhesive seam 89 prevents water, which has penetrated on the outside of intermediate rail part 65, to the seams 37 and 79 penetrates. This in Fig. 2 left seam sealing tape 91 prevents water from penetrating through the double seam 77 to the inside of the jacket.

Instead of the adhesive seam 83 and / or the adhesive seam 89, it is also possible to provide a seam made otherwise watertight, for example a sewing seam sealed by means of a seam sealing tape.

In the dot-dashed circle II a in Fig. 2 are two cooperating closure elements indicated, arranged on the inside of the cover 31 locking element 93 and arranged on the outside of the intermediate bar 49 Verschlußeleinent 95. Thus, the cover 31 can be fixed in a closed state on the intermediate bar 49 in a detachable manner when the ventilation device should not be effective. In the Fig. 2a to 2c Alternatives for the closure elements 93 and 95 are shown. In the embodiment in Fig. 2a are permanent magnet plates of opposite polarity used as closure elements, in the embodiment of the Fig. 2b Velcro strip and in the embodiment according to Fig. 2c Pushbutton series.

In the practical case occur between the cover 31 and the intermediate strip 49 on the one hand and between the intermediate strip 49 and the zipper 13 and the ventilation strips 27, 29 no distances, as they for the sake of clarity in Fig. 2 you can see. In particular, while driving on a motorcycle or during a ski descent the cover strip 31 and the intermediate strip 49 are pressed by the wind close to the zipper 13 and the ventilation strips 27 and 29, so that the possibility for the penetration of wind and water to the zipper 13 and the ventilation strips 27, 29 is still much lower than in the illustration of the Fig. 2 could be suspected. Because of the Umschlagrinne 59, as already mentioned, the probability of the penetration of water to the ventilation strips 27, 29 anyway extremely low.

Fig. 3 shows the structure Fig. 2 along the section line III-III in Fig. 1 in the open state, in which both the cover 31 and the two-bar 49 are open so far that the ventilation strips 27 and 29 are freely accessible for ventilation air. In practice, the cover strip 31 and the intermediate strip 49 may be further folded until they rest on the each adjacent region of the upper 45, where they either through the Wind or by (not shown) further closure or fixing elements are held.

In order to let the ventilation device take effect, so does not need - as in the previously considered jackets of the prior art - the zipper 13 to be opened but it is sufficient, the cover 31 and the intermediate bar 49 from their in Fig. 2 shown position in the Fig. 3 shown or to bring an even further open position. This is possible with a very simple hand movement and even if .the hand is in a thick glove.

Based on Fig. 5 to 7 Still different embodiments are considered, which differ in terms of structural design regarding material layers of the jacket 11. In this case, only that part of the structure is shown with closed cover strip 31, which is the right part of the Fig. 2 equivalent.

Fig. 5 shows a so-called Z-liner construction in which the jacket is constructed with an upper 45 and a separate, in the upper 45 loosely suspended functional layer 97. Here, the functional layer 97 is sewn only in peripheral areas with the upper 45, by means of a double seam 99. In this construction, the Abdeckleistenaußenteil 61 on the outside of an upper material, preferably made of the same material as the upper 45 of the jacket, and on the inside of which a functional layer 101, wherein the upper 45 and the functional layer 101 of the cover strip outer part 61 may be connected to a laminate. The cover strip inner part 63 is also constructed with a functional layer. This is connected by means of the seam 39 with the right side of the ventilation strip 29 and by means of the adhesive seam 83 with the functional layer 101 of Abdeckleistenaußenteils 61. The double seam 99, by means of which the upper 45 and the functional layer 101 of the covering strip outer part 61 are connected to the associated edge of the upper 45 and the functional layer 97 of the jacket, is sealed by means of a seam sealing tape 103. Water, which has penetrated to the left side of the adhesive seam 83, is prevented by the adhesive seam 83 from reaching the seam 39 and thus until to penetrate to the inside of the jacket. Water which has penetrated the double seam 99 is prevented by the seam sealing tape 103 from advancing to the seam 39 and thus to the inside of the jacket.

With regard to the construction of the Abdeckleistenaußenteils 61 several variants are possible. Can be used a waterproof upper or combined with a functional layer upper, the functional layer may be connected to the upper loose or in the form of a laminate.

In the Fig. 6 embodiment shown shows a so-called laminate structure. In this case, the upper and the functional layer of the jacket 11 are connected together to form a laminate 105, which may be a two-ply laminate having an upper layer and a functional layer or a three-ply laminate having an upper layer, a lining layer and a functional layer therebetween. This leads to a particularly simple and lightweight construction of the jacket. The Abdeckleistenaußenteil 61 is in the embodiment in Fig. 6 from such a laminate with at least one outer layer and a functional layer. Otherwise, the structure of this embodiment is consistent with the structure according to Fig. 5 match.

With regard to the construction of the cover strip 31 of this embodiment, several variants are possible again. The cover strip outer part 61 and / or the cover strip inner part 63 may be constructed with a two-layer laminate or a three-layer laminate with the material layers already mentioned. In a variant that has
Abdeckleistenaußenteil 61 a functional layer laminate and the Abdeckleisteninnenteil 63 a functional layer-free textile layer. In another variant, the Abdeckleisteninnenteil 63
