Abstract

The cloth has a back part (1) covering a back part of a wearer, and two chest sections covering a front side of an upper body of a wearer. The back part is connected with each chest section laterally and above in shoulder regions (4, 5) under formation of open armholes (8, 9). The open armholes lie upside of lateral connections (6, 7) and lie below the connection within the shoulder regions. The shoulder regions are elongated in side direction over lines (13, 14) that are predetermined by the lateral connection.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Warnkleidung aus fluoreszierendem Material und Abschnitten mit retroreflektierenden Eigenschaften, mit einem Rückenteil, um den Rücken eines Trägers zu bedecken, und zwei Brustabschnitten, um gemeinsam die Vorderseite des Oberkörpers eines Trägers zu bedecken, wobei das Rückenteil seitlich und oben im Schulterbereich mit jeweils einem der Brustabschnitte verbunden ist unter Bildung eines offenen Armloches, das oberhalb der seitlichen Verbindung liegt sowie unterhalb der Verbindung im Schulterbereich.The invention relates to a warning clothing made of fluorescent material and sections with retroreflective properties, with a back part to cover the back of a wearer, and two breast sections to cover together the front of the upper body of a wearer, the back of the side and top in the shoulder area with each one of the breast sections is connected to form an open armhole, which lies above the lateral connection and below the connection in the shoulder region.

Warnkleidung aus fluoreszierendem Material und Abschnitten mit retroreflektierenden Eigenschaften muss insbesondere dann getragen werden, wenn die Sichtbarkeit einer Person erhöht werden soll. Dies trifft für alle Arbeitssituationen zu, bei denen am Tag sowie in Dämmerung und Dunkelheit das Übersehen-werden ein Risiko darstellt.Warning apparel made of fluorescent material and sections with retroreflective properties must be worn especially if the visibility of a person is to be increased. This is true for all work situations where being overlooked during the day, at dusk and in the dark is a risk.

Für die Tagesaufhelligkeit werden fluoreszierende Materialien eingesetzt, für die Nachtauffälligkeit retroreflektierende Materialien.Fluorescent materials are used for daylighting, and retroreflective materials for nighttime use.

Am Tage kann mit Tagesleuchtfarben (Fluoreszenz) bei den unterschiedlichsten Sichtverhältnissen der beste Kontrast zur Umgebung erzielt werden und damit ein Träger von Schutzkleidung geschützt werden, da diese Farben das visuelle System beispielsweise von Führern sich nähernder Fahrzeuge am effektivsten stimulieren. Je größer die Fläche der Tagesleuchtfarbe ist, desto besser ist sie aus größerer Entfernung oder bei schlechten Sichtverhältnissen (z.B. bei Nebel oder Gischt etc.) erkennbar.During the daytime, daylight fluorescent colors can provide the best contrast to the environment in a wide range of visual conditions, protecting a wearer of protective clothing, as these colors most effectively stimulate the visual system, for example, by guides of approaching vehicles. The larger the area of the daylight fluorescent paint, the better it is recognizable from a greater distance or in poor visibility conditions (eg fog or spray etc.).

Bei dieser Fluoreszenz wird durch im Stoff eingelagerte Farbpigmente unsichtbares UV-Licht aus dem Tageslicht in sichtbares Licht umgewandelt.In this fluorescence, invisible UV light is converted from daylight into visible light by color pigments embedded in the fabric.

Retroreflektierende Materialien kreieren kein eigenes Licht sondern benötigen zur Reflektion eine externe Lichtquelle, wie z.B. das Licht von Fahrzeugscheinwerfern.Retroreflective materials do not create their own light, but require an external light source such as reflective glass, e.g. the light of vehicle headlights.

Die Oberfläche von derart retroreflektierenden Materialien besteht insbesondere aus einseitig aluminiumbeschichteten Glaskugeln oder Mikroprismen, die das einfallende Licht z.B. eines Fahrzeugscheinwerfers an der Reflektoroberfläche brechen und in die Richtung der Lichtquelle zurückwerfen.The surface of such retroreflective materials consists in particular of unilaterally aluminum-coated glass spheres or microprisms which absorb the incident light, e.g. of a vehicle headlight on the reflector surface and throw back in the direction of the light source.

Somit ist der Träger von Warnkleidung mit entsprechendem retroreflektierendem Besatz oder ähnlichem in der Dämmerung und Dunkelheit für einen Fahrer eines sich nähernden Kraftfahrzeugs aus einer ausreichenden Distanz zu sehen. Entsprechend wird Warnkleidung der beschriebenen Art in vielen Bereichen der gewerblichen Wirtschaft durch Vorschriften gefordert, wobei die Auswahl der richtigen Schutzkleidung auf Basis einer Gefährdungsanalyse erfolgen muss und die Warnkleidung dem individuellen Arbeitsumfeld anzupassen ist. Vorgaben über die Anforderungen von Warnkleidungen werden insbesondere in der DIN EN 471 (2003) "Warnkleidung" definiert. Gemäß dieser Norm ist Warnkleidung in drei Klassen eingeteilt, wobei die Einteilung über die Flächen von fluoreszierendem Hintergrund und retroreflektierendem Reflexmaterial oder deren Kombination erfolgt.Thus, the wearer of warning clothing with a corresponding retroreflective trim or the like is to be seen at dusk and darkness for a driver of an approaching motor vehicle from a sufficient distance. Accordingly, warning clothing of the type described is required in many areas of the business sector by regulations, wherein the selection of the correct protective clothing must be made on the basis of a hazard analysis and the warning clothing must be adapted to the individual working environment. Specifications concerning the requirements of warning clothing are defined in particular in DIN EN 471 (2003) "Warning clothing". According to this standard, warning clothing is divided into three classes, the division being made over the areas of fluorescent background and retroreflective reflective material or their combination.

Als normkonforme Hintergrundfarben sind die drei Farben fluoreszierendes Gelb, fluoreszierendes Orange/Rot sowie fluoreszierendes Rot mit jeweils spezifischen Mindestleuchtdichtefaktoren definiert.The three colors fluorescent yellow, fluorescent orange / red and fluorescent red with specific minimum luminance factors are defined as standard-compliant background colors.

Besonders weit verbreitet sind als Warnkleidung dabei Warnwesten, wie sie eingangs definiert wurden. Diese sind in vielen europäischen Ländern als Notfallausrüstung wie Verbandkasten oder Warndreieck für alle Fahrzeuge vorgeschrieben. In der DIN EN 471 werden sie üblicherweise in die mittlere Klasse 2 kategorisiert.High visibility warning jackets are especially widespread as warning clothing, as they were defined at the beginning. These are mandatory in many European countries as emergency equipment such as first aid kit or warning triangle for all vehicles. In DIN EN 471 they are usually categorized in the middle class 2.

Diese Warnwesten haben dabei den Vorteil, dass sie von einem Benutzer leicht über jegliche Art von Kleidung gezogen werden können und so schnell anzulegen sind. Sie haben aber den Nachteil, dass die Erkennbarkeit eines Trägers insbesondere von der Seite sehr eingeschränkt ist, da die Seitenansicht des Trägers durch einen nicht mit fluoreszierendem oder retroreflektierendem Material bedeckten Arm geprägt wird. Dies ist besonders nachteilig, da beispielsweise bei Reifenpannen ein Träger genau diese Seite dem auf ihn zurollenden Verkehr zuwendet.These safety vests have the advantage that they can be easily pulled over any type of clothing by a user and are so quickly put on. However, they have the disadvantage that the recognizability of a carrier, in particular from the side, is very limited, since the side view of the carrier is embossed by an arm which is not covered by fluorescent or retroreflective material. This is particularly disadvantageous since, for example, in the case of flat tires, a carrier turns precisely this side toward the traffic to be rolled onto it.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Schutzbekleidung wie oben beschrieben dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass ihre Rundumsichtbarkeit verbessert wird und somit der Träger besser geschützt wird, ohne dass hierdurch die Anlegbarkeit der Warnbekleidung erschwert wird.The object of the present invention is therefore to further develop a protective clothing as described above in such a way that its visibility is improved and thus the wearer is better protected, without thereby making it difficult to apply the warning clothing.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Schulterbereiche der Warnkleidung in Seitenrichtung über eine Linie hinaus verlängert sind, die durch die seitlichen Verbindungen von Rückenteil und Brustabschnitten bestimmt sind.This object is achieved in that the shoulder areas of the warning clothing are extended in the lateral direction beyond a line, which are determined by the lateral connections of the back and breast sections.

Der Vorteil der Erfindung liegt darin, dass durch die Verlängerungen im Schulterbereich die Warnbekleidung Abschnitte hat, die im Bereich des Oberarmes eines Trägers seitlich von diesem zu liegen kommen, so dass damit auch von der Seite erkennbare Abschnitte der Warnbekleidung vor dem Oberarm liegen. Die Erkennbarkeit eines Trägers von der Seite wird damit in erheblichem Maße erhöht.The advantage of the invention is that through the extensions in the shoulder region, the warning clothing has sections that come to lie laterally in the region of the upper arm of a wearer, so that thus also visible from the side sections of the warning clothing in front of the upper arm. The recognizability of a carrier from the side is thus increased considerably.

Gleichzeitig wird die Fläche an Material der Warnkleidung erhöht, so dass es möglich ist, eine Schutzkleidung der höheren Ansprüchen genügenden Klasse 3 zu erzeugen.At the same time, the surface of the material of the warning clothing is increased, so that it is possible to produce a protective clothing of the higher requirements of class 3.

Um die Position der Verlängerung im Bereich des Oberarmes eines Trägers zu stabilisieren wird vorgeschlagen, die Verlängerung über im Wesentlichen dreieckige Bereiche flächig mit dem Rückenteil und/oder einem Brustabschnitt zu verbinden. Auch trägt dies zu einer Vergrößerung der Grundfläche bei.In order to stabilize the position of the extension in the region of the upper arm of a wearer, it is proposed to connect the extension over essentially triangular areas in a planar manner to the back part and / or a breast part. This also contributes to an increase in the base area.

Eine entsprechende Schutzweste vermittelt damit einen optischen Eindruck wie mit "überschnittenen Schultern" oder vielleicht auch vergleichbar einem Cape. Wesentlich ist auf jeden Fall auch, dass hier kein ansatzweise rohrförmiger Ärmel geschaffen wird, der das Anlegen einer entsprechenden Warnweste erheblich behindern könnte, insbesondere falls diese beispielsweise über dickere Winterkleidung o.ä. angelegt werden soll.A corresponding vest thus gives a visual impression as with "overcut shoulders" or perhaps comparable to a cape. It is essential in any case, that here no rudimentary tubular sleeve is created, which could significantly hinder the creation of a corresponding safety vest, especially if this example, thicker winter clothing or similar. should be created.

Bei besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsformen der hier beschriebenen Warnkleidung sind in Richtung der Verlängerung auf dem im Wesentlichen fluoreszierenden Material auch retroreflektierende Streifen vorhanden. Dies erhöht die Sichtbarkeit insbesondere bei Nacht und außerdem kann von einer sich nähernden Person aus solchen in der Dunkelheit erkannten Streifen auf die Körperhaltung einer die Schutzweste tragenden Person geschlossen werden.In particularly preferred embodiments of the warning clothing described herein, retroreflective stripes are also present in the direction of extension on the substantially fluorescent material. This increases the visibility especially at night and also can be closed by an approaching person from such recognized in the dark stripes on the posture of a person wearing the vest.

In gleicher Weise können auch über die genannten dreieckigen Bereiche laufende im Wesentlichen retroreflektierende Streifen die Sicherheitswirkung erhöhen, insbesondere auch wenn diese in erster Näherung zu den Enden der Verlängerungen geneigt sind.In the same way running over the said triangular areas running substantially retroreflective strips increase the safety effect, especially if they are inclined in first approximation to the ends of the extensions.

Als besonders effektiv hat es sich dabei herausgestellt, wenn die retroreflektierenden Streifen auch fluoreszierende Eigenschaften aufweisen. Dadurch ergeben diese Schutzbekleidungen nicht nur bei Nacht sondern auch bei Tageslicht von der Seite her die gewünschte Schutzfunktion.It has proven to be particularly effective if the retroreflective strips also have fluorescent properties. This gives these protective clothing not only at night but also in daylight from the side the desired protective function.

Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels. Dabei zeigt:

Further advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment. Showing:
FIG. 1

FIG. 2
the front view of a warning clothing according to the invention.

In Figur 1 erkennt man die Rückansicht einer Warnkleidung gemäß der Erfindung. Sie besteht aus einem Rückenteil, das aus einem fluoreszierenden Material besteht, insbesondere in den Farben fluoreszierend Gelb, fluoreszierend Orange/Rot oder fluoreszierend Rot. In der Figur 2 erkennt man die Vorderansicht dieser Warnkleidung mit einem linken und einem rechten Brustabschnitt 2, 3, die im Wesentlichen aus dem gleichen fluoreszierenden Material bestehen, wie das Rückenteil.FIG. 1 shows the rear view of a warning clothing according to the invention. It consists of a back part, which consists of a fluorescent material, in particular in the colors fluorescent yellow, fluorescent orange / red or fluorescent red. In Figure 2 can be seen the front view of this warning clothing with a left and a right chest section 2, 3, which consist essentially of the same fluorescent material as the back part.

Das Rückenteil und die Brustabschnitte stoßen oben im Schulterbereich 4 bzw. 5 zusammen, wo sie insbesondere mittels einer Naht miteinander verbunden sind. Außerdem sind das Rückenteil 1 und die Brustabschnitte 2, 3 in gleicher Weise an seitlichen Verbindungen 6, 7 miteinander verbunden, auch hier beispielsweise mittels einer Naht.The back part and the breast sections collide at the top in the shoulder region 4 or 5, where they are connected to each other in particular by means of a seam. In addition, the back part 1 and the breast sections 2, 3 are connected to each other in the same way at lateral connections 6, 7, here also for example by means of a seam.

Oberhalb dieser seitlichen Verbindung findet man an der Warnkleidung seitliche Armlöcher 8, 9, durch die ein Träger der Warnkleidung seine Arme hindurchstecken kann.Above this lateral connection can be found on the warning clothing side armholes 8, 9, through which a wearer of warning clothing can pass his arms.

Anschließend werden die Brustabschnitte 2, 3 vorne vom Benutzer geschlossen, beispielsweise mittels Druckknöpfen oder Klettband, womit sich oben an der Warnkleidung ein Halsausschnitt 10 bildet.Subsequently, the breast sections 2, 3 are closed at the front by the user, for example by means of snaps or Velcro, thus forming a neckline 10 at the top of the warning clothing.

Im Bereich der seitlichen Verbindungen ist die hier dargestellte Warnkleidung benachbart zu ihrem unteren Ende mit im Wesentlichen quer bzw. horizontal verlaufenden Streifen 11, 12 mit retroreflektierenden Eigenschaften besetzt, die um die geschlossene Warnkleidung umlaufen.In the area of the lateral connections, the warning clothing illustrated here is occupied adjacent to its lower end by substantially transversely or horizontally extending strips 11, 12 with retroreflective properties which circulate around the closed warning clothing.

Bei der hier dargestellten Warnkleidung sind die Schulterbereiche 4, 5 in die Seitenrichtung verlängert über Linien 13, 14 hinaus, die durch die seitlichen Verbindungen 6, 7 bestimmt werden. Die Linien sind dabei insbesondere Verlängerungen der angesprochenen seitlichen Verbindungen, falls diese parallel zueinander laufen oder aber liegen parallel zueinander und kreuzen die seitlichen Verbindungen, falls diese seitlichen Verbindungen nicht parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sind.In the case of the warning clothing illustrated here, the shoulder regions 4, 5 are extended in the lateral direction beyond lines 13, 14, which are determined by the lateral connections 6, 7. The lines are in particular extensions of the addressed lateral connections, if they run parallel to each other or lie parallel to each other and cross the lateral connections, if these lateral connections are not aligned parallel to each other.

Die Verlängerungen 15, 16 sind sowohl auf der Vorderseite (bei den Brustabschnitten) als auch auf der Rückenseite (zu dem Rückenteil) flächig über dreieckige Bereiche 17, 18, 19, 20 in die Warnkleidung integriert, wodurch sich die insgesamt bei der Warnkleidung zur Verfügung stehende Grundfläche entsprechend erhöht auf einen Wert von mehr als 0,8 qm in der kleinsten Größe. Damit kann eine entsprechende Warnkleidung nicht nur wie eine Weste in die Schutzklasse 2 eingruppiert werden, sondern in die höheren Anforderungen genügende Schutzklasse 3 der DIN EN 471.The extensions 15, 16 are integrated into the warning clothing both on the front side (in the breast sections) and on the back side (to the back part) over triangular areas 17, 18, 19, 20, whereby the total of the warning clothing is available standing floor area increased accordingly to a value of more than 0.8 square meters in the smallest size. In order to a corresponding warning clothing can not only be classified as a vest in the protection class 2, but in the higher requirements sufficient protection class 3 of DIN EN 471.

Die dargestellte Weste hat auf der Schulter und in Richtung der Verlängerungen 15, 16 Streifen 21, 22 aufgeklebt, genäht oder auf ähnliche Weise befestigt, die retroreflektierende und fluoreszierende Eigenschaften haben. Auch auf dem dreieckigen Bereich finden sich entsprechende Elemente 23, 24, 25, 26, die nach außen geneigt und in erster Näherung nach oben in Richtung des Endes der Verlängerung laufen.The illustrated vest has adhered, sewn or similarly secured on the shoulder and in the direction of the extensions 15, 16 strips 21, 22 which have retroreflective and fluorescent properties. Also on the triangular area are corresponding elements 23, 24, 25, 26, which are inclined outwards and in a first approximation run upwards in the direction of the end of the extension.

Diese Streifen haben eine ausreichende retroreflektierende Eigenschaft, da sie in den äußeren Bereichen rein retroreflektierend sind, während sie im mittleren Bereich sowohl retroreflektierend als auch fluoreszierend sind. Bei einer Beleuchtung aus einer größeren Distanz wird das Band dabei insgesamt als retroreflektierend wahrgenommen, da der mittlere, auch fluoreszierend wirkende Bereich bei Dunkelheit auf größere Distanz im wesentlichen als retroreflektierend wahrgenommen wird.These strips have sufficient retroreflective property because they are purely retroreflective in the outer regions while being both retroreflective and fluorescent in the central region. When illuminated from a greater distance, the band is perceived as a whole as retroreflective, since the central, even fluorescent acting area is perceived in the dark at greater distance substantially as retroreflective.

Tagsüber dominiert die fluorszierende Wirkung dieser Streifen, wobei die entsprechende Signalwirkung hier insbesondere noch dadurch verstärkt werden kann, dass dieser mittlere Bereich der Streifen in einer anderen fluoreszierenden Farbe sein kann als das Grundmaterial der Warnbekleidung.During the day, the fluorescent effect of these strips dominates, whereby the corresponding signal effect can be intensified in particular by the fact that this central region of the strips can be in a different fluorescent color than the base material of the warning clothing.

Die Teile der retroreflektierenden und fluoreszierenden Streifen 21, 22, die in den Verlängerungen 15, 16 angebracht sind, fallen bei einem Träger im Wesentlichen über dessen Oberarme, so dass der Träger damit auch bei Dunkelheit von der Seite gut zu erkennen ist.The parts of the retroreflective and fluorescent strips 21, 22, which are mounted in the extensions 15, 16, fall in a carrier substantially over the upper arms, so that the wearer is so well visible even in the dark from the side.

Es sei noch erwähnt, dass die Armlöcher 8, 9 so groß sind, dass sie nicht wie Ärmel wirken. Dies wird insbesondere dadurch erreicht, dass das Armloch auf den Linien 13 und 14 mindestens die gleiche, vorzugsweise mindestens die doppelte Länge hat wie die seitlichen Verbindungen 6, 7.It should be noted that the armholes 8, 9 are so large that they do not act like sleeves. This is achieved, in particular, by virtue of the fact that the armhole on the lines 13 and 14 has at least the same, preferably at least twice the length as the lateral connections 6, 7.

Außerdem enden die dreieckigen Bereiche 17 bis 20 mit ihren unteren spitzen Enden im wesentlichen an den oberen Enden der seitlichen Verbindungen 6, 7, so dass die Armlöcher 8, 9 auch ausreichend sind, damit die hier beschriebene Warnkleidung z.B. auch über auftragende Winterkleidung angezogen werden kann.In addition, the triangular areas 17 to 20 with their lower pointed ends terminate substantially at the upper ends of the lateral connections 6, 7, so that the armholes 8, 9 are also sufficient for the warning clothing described herein to be e.g. can also be put on over-wearing winter clothing.

Es sei noch erwähnt, dass durch die Verlängerungen im Schulterbereich die angebrachten Nähte etc. sich in ihrer Länge in etwa verdoppeln.It should be noted that due to the extensions in the shoulder region, the attached seams, etc. approximately double in length.
