Definitions

  • the invention relates to outerwear with increased breathability, which is achieved by a new ventilation device.
  • Garments are provided with ventilation passages when processing less air-permeable outer or inner materials to allow ventilation.
  • a well-known example, as well as in the description of the script are provided with ventilation passages when processing less air-permeable outer or inner materials to allow ventilation.
  • EP 0 648 438 B1 are metal eyelet-edged ventilation holes in the underarm area. However, the ventilation effect of this measure is not sufficient.
  • the aim of a ventilation device is to maximize the air exchange. If the water vapor generated by sweating can not escape through the clothing, the humidity on the inside of the garment will increase until the water vapor condenses. The clothes worn under this garment become wet.
  • US Pat. No. 6,263,511 B1 describes a breathable clothing.
  • the upper has holes for ventilation.
  • the ingress of liquid from the outside should be prevented in order to maintain the water-tightness.
  • This is achieved by a multilayer structure.
  • the upper is a layer of hydrophilic material capable of absorbing sweat, including another layer forming a space in which steam is conveyed upwards through a chimney effect to the vent holes in the outer material. So that no liquid can penetrate from the outside through these holes, they are closed by various design measures, such as valves.
  • Disadvantage of this invention is the high constructive and thus manufacturing effort with which the ventilation is realized.
  • EP 0 648 438 B1 discloses the watertight passage lining of a passage opening, in particular a ventilation opening for a garment.
  • This opening contains on the outside a unilaterally mounted flap which completely covers the opening in the suspended state.
  • a further embodiment is a ventilation opening which contains a zipper with which the opening can be opened or closed. This embodiment is not covered by a flap. Air can flow freely through the opening.
  • a Pattenoffenhaltevorraum can be provided, which ensures that air can flow freely through the opening.
  • the disadvantages of this ventilation opening correspond to those of the ventilation opening disclosed in the following document EP 1 002 470 A2 "clothing with ventilation device".
  • the garments worn under a waterproof or windproof clothing become wet.
  • Functional materials are permeable to steam, but not to condensed water.
  • the breathability of these materials is limited and can not exceed a certain vapor transfer rate. Excesses that exceed this rate will inevitably lead to condensation. Again, the ability to enhance breathability through vents that can be opened or closed as desired is recognized.
  • the ventilation device is designed here as a slot. At the slot or on the closure device along the slot, a spring clip is attached, which ensures that the ventilation opening is kept open in the open state.
  • a minimum distance between the two opposite sides of the opening in the open state is not guaranteed, which can hinder the circulation.
  • a e.g. stabilized by spring clip opening leads on the one hand to the fact that the body is visible under the clothing and on the other exposed directly to the outside climatic conditions and drafts unprotected. An additional cover in turn hinders the ventilation.
  • Document DE 700 490 discloses a wetness protective clothing with ventilation openings which are overlapped by a fabric part.
  • a bridge which can bulge through various measures, such as a drawstring or pockets in which the bridge is inserted, the ventilation opening is kept free.
  • a clothing with ventilation devices also discloses GB 2 388 297 A.
  • Here come self-supporting ventilation channels that are open on both sides are used.
  • the inherent stability of the ventilation ducts is achieved by the use of a band or strip of thermoplastic material or a corrugated channel profile.
  • US Patent 4,731,883 discloses clothing with ventilation openings. Above the ventilation openings is a cover in the form of a flap. The cover may lie flat over the opening and close it or arch over the opening in a tunnel shape and allow for improved ventilation. The cover is closed by a Velcro fastener in closed and open, i. tunnel-shaped position.
  • FR-A-1 008 240 discloses a sheath of waterproof material with ventilation channels placed on the back part, which are formed by folding, the folds being open at their ends and extending up to the inside of the collar.
  • GB-A-375 207 discloses a ventilation device for clothing consisting of openings in the clothing and covers over these openings.
  • the covers are attached to the clothing, a three-sided cover is attached, for example, on two sides of the clothing and forms with the third side an opening with the clothing fabric.
  • a drawstring allows the side not attached to the garment to be pulled together so that the cover archs over the opening.
  • the present invention is an effective and simple outerwear ventilation system that improves breathability, Suitable for a wide variety of clothing items, including waterproof, windproof sports and work clothing.
  • outerwear which has at least one ventilation device to increase the breathability, consisting of at least one ventilation opening and a cover, wherein the cover extends on the upper of the clothing over the ventilation opening and forms an opening in at least one area with the upper material , Further, the edge of the cover is connected to the other areas of the upper, the cover between the areas where the cover is connected to the upper, a distance from the upper and in at least one region in which the cover with the upper material forms an opening, has a closing flap, with which the opening can be closed, and wherein, in the opened state, the closing tab is placed inwards in the cover in such a way that the cover forms a curvature stabilized by the closing tab. This securely holds open the opening that forms the cover with the upper.
  • the locking tab is in the simplest case, an extension of the cover, the edge of which is not connected to the upper and therefore can be placed inside the cover.
  • the closing flap can be fixed in the desired position by suitable measures, such as a hook-and-loop fastener.
  • the closure flap thus not only serves to close the opening when needed, but in the open state ensures that the cover is stiffened or stabilized by a second layer and thus securely holds the opening which forms the cover with the upper material open becomes.
  • the ventilation device for waterproof and windproof functional clothing which are equipped with a membrane.
  • the cover of the ventilation device is connected to such functional garments at the junctions with the upper so that no water can penetrate.
  • the connection can be made by sewing, gluing, welding or other known joining techniques or a combination of these processes.
  • the distance between the cover and the upper can be substantially constant over the width and length of the cover, but it can also be greater in the central region of the cover than in the edge region and towards the edge, where the cover with the Upper material is connected, reduce.
  • the distance between the upper and the cover is preferably 1 mm to 100 mm. It is advantageous if the distance of the cover to the upper 5 mm to 85 mm, in a preferred embodiment, the distance of the cover to the upper material at 10 mm to 70 mm, more preferably 15 mm to 50 mm.
  • the shape of the cover and also the ventilation opening is freely selectable. Circular shapes, polygons, even freeforms are conceivable. In terms of manufacturing, an approximately rectangular or trapezoidal configuration is preferred, i. the ventilation device usually has four sides with two shorter and two longer sides, whereby four approximately equal sides are possible.
  • the preferably four-sided cover of the ventilation device is then connected to the upper material on at least two opposite sides and forms an opening with the upper material on at least one side.
  • the cover can also be open on two opposite sides.
  • a preferred embodiment is the attachment of the cover on three sides on Upper.
  • the cover has only one opening in this case.
  • the opening may be formed on one of the longer sides by the cover, which has a distance to the upper and the upper material, preferably, the opening is realized on one of the two shorter sides.
  • the opening formed by the cover and upper material is formed on the longer side of the cover, wherein it must be ensured that the inwardly placed locking tab sufficiently stabilizes the cover, so that there is a distance between the cover and the ventilation opening.
  • the opening formed by the cover which is at a distance from the upper, and the upper may in principle be directed in any direction. It is particularly advantageous if the cover forms an opening with the upper material and is thus avoided so that rain can reach the inside of the item of clothing via the ventilation opening.
  • the cover is on the upper and is preferably made of the same material as the upper, which does not preclude the use of other materials. By this design it is avoided that the carrier is exposed directly to the external conditions and drafts. In order for the vent to retain its shape and not be pulled apart, the vent can be provided with a net that attaches to the edges of the vent. Another possibility is the attachment of transverse webs, which preferably consist of the same material as the upper material. It is also possible to cut several ventilation openings next to each other in such a way that webs remain between the openings. If the ventilation opening can not be pulled apart, it is also ensured that the cover, which is arched over the ventilation opening, does not lie on the ventilation opening and obstruct ventilation.
  • the cover preferably stretches arcuately or semi-circularly over the vent opening, the opposite sides being parallel, connected to the garment on three sides, forming an opening downwardly with the upper material to form a ventilation tunnel.
  • the cross-sectional area of this opening is approximately constant over the entire length of the aeration device. In a particular embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the opening increases downward, in which the curvature of the cover is formed downwards stronger. This achieves an even stronger ventilation effect.
  • the opposite, connected to the garment sides are anti-parallel and narrow towards the ventilation opening.
  • the opposite sides connected to the garment have the greatest distance from each other at the lower end of the cover and the smallest distance from each other at the upper end of the cover.
  • the opposite sides may also meet at their highest point and form a conical cover which has an opening downwardly with the upper. In this case, the cover is attached only at the lateral edges of the upper, the upper edge is omitted, since the side edges meet at their highest point.
  • a particular advantage of the described embodiments of this ventilation device is also that they represent a design feature with functional properties that may be contrasting color or may be highlighted by contrasting stitching.
  • the longitudinal axis of the ventilation device preferably runs parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body, but it can also extend at an angle of about 90 ° to the longitudinal axis of the body or at any angle.
  • the ratio of length ventilation device / width ventilation device is preferably greater than 1.
  • the cover is at least as large as the ventilation opening, so that the ventilation opening is completely covered by the cover. In a preferred embodiment, the cover at the point where it forms an opening with the upper material beyond the ventilation opening.
  • the ventilation device is preferably arranged in areas of increased exudation.
  • the ventilation device in a particularly preferred embodiment has a closure, e.g. a zipper or Velcro or snap closure.
  • the ventilation opening can only pass through the upper but also through the upper and lining or upper, membrane and lining.
