Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fitness device in the form of a garment according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such fitness devices are - among various titles - several known, such as US 726,791 (D1), US 4,230,114 (D2) and WO 01/52787 (D3).
  • the commonality of the prior art and the present invention lies in the fact that by applying a slight external negative pressure to certain parts of the human body, the circulation can be increased in particular of - in itself poorly perfused - subcutaneous adipose tissue. If at the same time the metabolism is increased by physical activity, then fat tissue can be increasingly included in the metabolism thanks to the better blood circulation and thus be broken down.
  • the disadvantage of wearing a garment that passes to the location of a fixed abutment is that such a garment, according to the solution, has an airtight outer layer. If a negative pressure difference to the atmospheric pressure is generated by a fixed (D1, D2) or portable (D3) air pump within this outer skin, the atmospheric pressure acts on the whole partially evacuated surface of this garment and presses it to the body surface. This significantly impedes the pumping out of the space between the garment and the body surface.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a spacer which overcomes the aforesaid drawbacks and makes it possible to simplify the whole construction of the garment and associated pumping means, with a substantial reduction in costs.
  • Fig. 1 is a plan view of an inventive garment designed as a pant.
  • This has an outer skin 1, which is made of an airtight and elastic material, such as polyurethane (PU).
  • PU polyurethane
  • Under this outer skin 1 is a spacer layer 2, which basically has the same blank as the outer skin 1.
  • the spacer layer is made of a spacer fabric. Spacer knit fabrics are known per se in textile technology and, if they are to fulfill the intended purpose, as a rule consist of monofilament threads. Of course, spacer fabrics can also be used from other textile fibers; the decisive factor is the good air permeability in the directions parallel to the outer skin 1.
  • a connector 3 for a vacuum hose 4 is attached, which leads to a portable battery-powered vacuum pump, which is preferably housed in a belt 7 attached to a pocket 5.
  • Said vacuum pump is dimensioned so that it can generate a pressure difference to the external pressure between 10 and 50 hPa and maintain upright at the expected leakage rate of electronicallyborden 6.
  • the belt 7 allows the pump to be worn over the shoulder or otherwise properly secured to the body.
  • the attachment of two or more Rantücken 3 may be displayed, connected to the corresponding number of vacuum hoses 4 or possibly a single vacuum hose 4 with branches.
  • Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the upper part of the one side of the garment of Fig. 1.
  • the individual parts are drawn slightly away from each other for the sake of clarity.
  • the outer skin 1 made of elastic plastic is, for example, wrapped inwardly around the spacer layer 2 and lies directly against the body, which bears the reference numeral 8. If necessary, a thin layer 9 of a suitable cream or gel can be applied between the embossed part of the outer skin 1 and the body surface.
  • Both outer skin 1 and spacer layer 2 are each cut and made up in the form and size of the garment and can be washed separately. Since the connection of the two parts 1, 2 is now made by the turning of the outer skin 1, no joints are provided and separated again for cleaning. By suitable cutting of the spacer layer 2 it can be ensured that the selection of the necessary clothing sizes remains small.
  • FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal section through the garment in the region of the connecting piece 3.
  • a second layer 10 of spacer knitted fabric is placed on the spacer layer 2 and connected thereto.
  • the connecting piece 3 can be designed so that a hat-shaped part 11 thereof penetrates a preferably round opening in the outer skin 1, and a clamping disc 12 is pushed over the cylindrical portion of the part 11 and the edge of the round opening in the outer skin 1 against the flat Part of part 11 presses.
  • the vacuum hose 4 is then pushed over said cylindrical portion of the part 11 and fixed there.
  • Other types of attachment are known per se and familiar in the connection technology.
  • the spacer layer 2 Due to the presence of the spacer layer 2, the possibility is given here and also easily perceptible to install sensors for monitoring bodily functions of the person wearing the garment.
  • sensors can be provided, for example, for the skin temperature at various points, the conductivity of the skin, the pulse, the respiratory rate, the latter at most on the tension of the abdominal region of the garment.
  • sensors may be connected to a suitable data collector, which may also be housed in the pocket 7 and fed by the same battery as the vacuum pump according to the invention.
  • the fitness device can be expanded in the form of a garment to the sports medical measuring and monitoring device. This particular, since the sporting activity by the garment - in particular in the field of endurance sports - hardly any restrictions are imposed and, by the presence of a suitable data collector, expensive and restrictive telemetry devices are dispensable.
  • Fig. 1 may be the most common embodiment of a garment according to the invention, but nevertheless has only exemplary character.
  • Ankle-length pants, an upper part, which exposes only parts - for example, the upper arms - the upper body of a partial vacuum, yes, a body piece, are also according to the invention, always with the characteristics of airtight outer skin 1 and the spacer layer 2. It is also always included that certain Part of the body excluded from the partial vacuum and then covered only by a suitable air-permeable textile material.
