clothing

Technical area

The invention relates to a garment consisting of several, detachably interconnected clothing parts. The invention further relates to an ensemble of such

Clothing and a travel bag or suitcase for such garments.

Garments that consist of several releasably interconnected clothing parts are known. An example of such a garment is a vest, which is changeable by sleeves to a jacket. The sleeves are made by means of a

Zipper attached to the vest. There are also pants known that have a circumferential zipper above the knee, so that they can be changed by removing the lower part of the pant legs to a pair of shorts. It is also known detachable hoods to attach to a jacket or a sweater. Finally, jackets with removable lining are known.

All garments have in common that they have only a single, independently portable garment. This independent garment, such as the vest, the shorts or the hoodless sweater is changed by other clothing parts. These garments, ie the sleeves, pant leg extensions, lining or hood, are parts that can only be worn in conjunction with these independently wearable garments. The garment thus only allows the transformation of a single garment from one "Leichf" version on a warmer version. Other options are not provided.

There are also known garments that receive a changed appearance by turning. The garment is high-quality processed on both sides and thus makes it possible to wear even with the inside turned outwards. Again, it is always a single piece of clothing. The fabrics are usually the same on the inside and outside and differ only by pattern or

Coloring. The garment may therefore be worn on the same occasions due to the nature of the workmanship - leisure or business - but not both.

Travelers who travel for extended periods and need clothing for a variety of occasions usually spend a lot of time choosing and packing appropriate clothing. Due to the variety of occasions often very many different garments are required. It is therefore a particularly large luggage required. This is particularly disadvantageous when the luggage does not fit more than hand luggage in an airplane, because about casual and formal clothing is needed for a simple business trip. Then the luggage must be given up and the waiting times at the place of arrival are extended.

Disclosure of the invention

It is an object of the invention to reduce the space required and the weight of provided for different occasions clothing mass. It is a further object of the invention to reduce the time required for the selection of clothing.

According to the invention the object is achieved by a garment in which at least two of the garment parts form independently portable, complete garments; and the shape or appearance of at least one of the independently portable garments by turning or by a dependent only with this garment wearable, detachable, further garment is changeable. Independently wearable garments may include a skirt, pants, pants skirt, jacket, vest, or other one-piece garment for the upper body such as T-shirts, pullovers, blouses, or the like. In contrast, dependent garments are those parts that can not be worn without another garment. That can be one or more skirt extensions, extensions of the

Trouser legs, a waistband or belt part, one or more sleeves and / or sleeve extensions, a collar and / or a hood.

But in an alternative, detachable scarves, outer pockets, ruffles, loops or embellishments are conceivable with which the character of a

Garment changes significantly.

The releasable connections can be produced by means of buttons, zippers or Velcro connections. These can be provided with a means for covering the joints of the garment parts. Such a means is for example a border, a hidden seam or a belt part.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the surface of the garment is on one side smooth and / or shiny elegant and on the other side dull, stitched or formed with a sporty appearance. Then that can

Garment can be adjusted by turning the occasion.

A garment consisting of two independently portable garments, e.g. a bodice and a skirt, can be worn in a variety of combinations. So both parts can be connected together to form a dress that can be worn in warm conditions athletic short and without arms. In colder conditions, the sleeves can be attached. For use as evening wear a skirt extension can be attached. Furthermore, depending on the occasion, the dress can be turned and adapted in this way when using different materials to different occasions.

All in all, however, the variety of possible variations is always just a garment that easily fits in a small travel bag. Because that Garment is suitable for a variety of climatic conditions and occasions, no need to select the garments in advance. There is always everything.

Characterized in that two independently portable garments are provided, the garment can also be combined with other conventional garments. For example, the clothing that was worn during the trip can only partially be supplemented or replaced.

In a further embodiment of the invention, an ensemble of garments is provided, comprising a first garment having the above variations and another garment which is portable independently of the first garment. The further item of clothing is detachably connectable to one of the garment parts of the first garment, so that a new independently portable garment is formed. It can therefore be provided, for example, an ensemble of a multi-part dress and another skirt part. Then the same top can be connected with different skirt parts.

The object is further achieved by a garment consisting of several detachably interconnected clothing parts, wherein

(a) one of the garments forms a complete garment for the upper body that is portable independently of other garments; and

(B) the shape or the appearance of this clothing part by turning and by one or more dependent only with this garment wearable, detachable, other garments is changeable, wherein

(c) one or more of the dependent wearable garments are extensions over the legs of the wearer.

Such a garment is in particular a reversible coat with variable length. Especially when there are different occasions when different ones Rock lengths are worn, it is particularly advantageous if an associated coat can be adapted to these skirt lengths.

The invention further relates to a travel bag or a suitcase having the means for receiving a garment or ensemble. In the pocket or the suitcase are further provided means for receiving the respective dependent garment parts which are adapted to the size and shape of the dependent garment parts. So bags and brackets for belt parts, sleeves, skirt extensions, etc. may be provided. These bags and brackets are not arbitrary, but space-saving arranged within the travel bag and designed so that the

Clothing parts can be stored and transported without being damaged without damage. One or more of these pockets are detachably mounted within the suitcase or travel bag. They are designed so appealing that they can be taken as a separate bag. This can e.g. be done by using the same material as the garment.

Embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. Embodiments are explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Description of the embodiment

The exemplary embodiment comprises a travel bag with an ensemble of different garments, namely a coat, a dress and a trouser suit. A first garment is a reversible sheath, generally designated 10. The reversible sheath is shown in Fig. Ia from the front and in Fig. Ib from behind.

The jacket 10 is a long jacket consisting of two unlined single jackets 22 and 24. Each of these coats 22 and 24 is independently portable. This is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The two individual coats 22 and

24 are connected to each other at the reversing edge 12. For this purpose, 12 aushakbare seam zippers are attached to the reverse edge. In a aushakbaren zipper, the two zipper parts can be separated. As a result, the individual coats 22 and 24 are divisible from each other at the seam zippers.

For a direct comparison of the two individual coats of the jacket 10 is shown in an assembled representation. The left in Fig. Ia and Ib half 14 and 18 shows the one side of the Wendemantels 10. This page is stitched according to the single coat 22 and designed more sporty. The right in Fig. Ia and Ib half 16 and 20 shows the other side of the Wendemantels. This page has according to the single jacket 24 has a smooth surface and is elegantly designed.

If both coats 22 and 24 are connected to each other, a single jacket forms the feeding for the other individual jacket. In warmer weather everyone can

Single coat but also be worn unlined. Each of the two individual coats 22 and 24 has the same structure. It initially comprises sleeves 26, which are provided on a western part 28. The sleeves 26 are each detachably secured to the arm ball 30 of the west part 28 by means of a separable, detachable 2-way zipper. On the western part 28, which is waisted in the present embodiment 32 and formed with darts 34, a central part 36 is attached. Again, the connection 40 by means of zippers. At the middle part 36, a skirt portion 38 is provided.

In Fig. 14, a transverse zipper is shown in detail. The example of the connection of the hem portion 38 with the central portion 36, the operation of the transverse zipper is shown. A fabric edge 37 of the middle part 36 overlaps the zipper arrangement 39. The zipper 41 sits below the stitching 43.

For the connection of the individual coats 22 and 24 to the jacket 10 three zippers are provided. A first zipper connects the western parts 28. A second zipper connects the middle parts 36 and a third zipper connects the hem parts 38.

In Figure 2, the single jacket 22 is shown separately. This coat is a rather sporty version. The jacket 22 is attached here with all

Clothing parts 20, 26, 36 and 38 shown. Furthermore, a tie belt 44 is shown. The coat is correspondingly long. He reaches down to about the

Ankle. The seams 46 are double-stitched. This will be a sporty one

Appearance causes. All seams 46 are right-left seams or lap seams. Laterally at waist height 28 round pockets 48 (Fig. Ia) are placed on the western part.

The middle part 36 is fastened at hip height by means of a transverse zipper on the western part 28. This is covered by a quilted, about 2cm wide fold 50. The transverse zipper is divisible and removable. In the same way, the hem part 38 is connected to the middle part 36 at knee height (see Fig. 14).

The sleeves 26 are connected to the jacket 22 by visible 2-way zippers with the western part 28. This creates a sporty impression. This and all other zippers are designed in the darker color of the more elegant single coat 24. The color of the single jacket 22, however, is slightly lighter.

In Figure 3, the single jacket 24 is shown separately. This coat is a rather elegant version with a dark color. The jacket 24 is shown here with all fastened clothing parts 20, 26, 36 and 38. It is also a tie belt

52 shown. The coat is correspondingly long. He reaches down to about the

Ankle. The seams 54 are only quilted. The surface of the fabric is monochrome or slightly shiny. This results in a smooth, elegant appearance. On the hips, pockets hidden on both sides are sewn into the side seam.

As with the jacket 22, the midsection 36 is secured at waist level by means of a transverse zipper at the waistband. This is covered by a 2 cm wide fold 56. The transverse zipper is divisible and removable. In the same way, the hem portion 38 is connected at knee level with the central portion 36.

The sleeves 26 are connected to the jacket 24 by concealed 2-way zippers 58 to the western part 28. This and all other zippers, as well as the seams are designed in the same color as the surface of the jacket 24.

By removing the skirt portions 38, a short coat 60 may be formed from an ankle-long coat. This is shown in Fig. 4 and Fig.5. It is possible for both the jacket 22, as well as for the jacket 24.

In Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 is shown as by removing the middle part 36 from the

Short coats each a sporty jacket (Fig.7) and an elegant jacket (Fig.6) are formed. The removed middle parts 36 and 38 hem parts can be safely stored in the designated departments of the suitcase.

By removing the sleeves 28 can be formed from the jacket 22 and 24 vests. These are shown in Fig. 8 and Fig.9. In Fig. 15 and 16 is shown how the color is adjusted by a removable (detachable or removable by means of zipper) document. In Fig.15 the removable document 51 is shown individually. On its outer side 49, a hidden circumferential first zipper edge 53 is provided. Furthermore, a further zipper 55 is provided on the inside 57. The document 51 is attached with the zippers 53 and 55 on the inside of one of the individual coats 22 or 24. As a result, the original collar is hidden when it is folded together with the document 51. The collar color is adjusted to the color of the single coat. The slip 51 just goes as far as required. In the embodiment shown, the collar ends slightly above the position designated 59. In Fig. 16, the collar 61 is shown erected. If the collar 61 turned over, the document 51 is visible.

In Fig.10 a pants suit 70 is shown. Fig.10a shows the trouser suit from the front.

Fig.10b shows the trouser suit from behind. The pants suit consists of a western part 72, with sleeves 74. Similar to the jacket 10, the sleeves are by means of

Zippers on the arm balls 88 detachably connected to the waistband. At the west part 72 a short pants 76 with pants leg extensions 78 is provided.

The connections 84 and 86 are again made by means of divisible zippers. The

West part 72 can be worn with or without long sleeves, regardless of the pants. The pants 76 can be used as hipsters with or without extension 78 regardless of the

West part 72 wear. In this way, these garments can also with other

Garments are combined.

By using additional, dependent garments, the shape of the pants can be varied. This is shown in FIG. 11.

At the upper end 90 of the pants 76, a waistband 92 may be provided. The connection is also made with a divisible zipper. As a result, the shape of the pants 76 is adapted to the body shape and can be worn without slipping and without a belt. Instead of a waistband 92 and a support member 96 may be provided on the waistband. This part is also attached with a zipper 98 at the upper end 90 of the pants. The support member 96 is provided with loops 102 which can be knotted at the neck. The trouser shape of pants 76 can be through cuffs 94 are changed. These are attached with a zipper 100 at the lower end 104 of the pants. Then a bloomers will be formed.

Analogous to the pants suit 70, a multi-part dress 110 is provided as a third garment in the ensemble. The dress 110 has a skirt part 112 instead of a pair of pants, which can be changed to an entire length 114 with an extension 114. Again, the skirt can be worn individually together with a waistband 116. Otherwise, the connections and characteristics of pantsuit and dress are similar. The seams and zippers are concealed on one side and visibly sporty on the other side. Turning will give you a garment with a different character. The sleeves 118 are removable. (FIG. 13) Instead of a vest part, another top part 120 can be connected to the skirt part 112 in the case of the dress. This top has spaghetti straps 122.

Since the skirt is a close-fitting garment, a variable dress size is still provided. This is illustrated with reference to FIG. 17. At the narrowest size, the horizontal circumferential zipper 130 terminates at the rear at its beginning 132. At this size, a vertically downwardly extending garment fold 134 is folded over and fastened with a push button 138. Likewise, the other side of the garment fold is attached to a push button 140.

For other sizes, as shown in Fig. 17, the zipper 130 does not completely run around the entire body. Beginning 132 and end 138 are spaced apart. In this case, the clothes folds 134 are connected to each other by means of a Velcro closure 136.

All garments are housed in a travel bag 142. Such a travel bag is shown in FIG. In the rear view of the pocket in Fig. 18b is shown the part of the pocket that can hold a laptop. Such laptop bags are well known and therefore need not be described in detail here. The

Overall, bag size is designed so that it can be taken as hand luggage in an airplane. The bag can be opened. A zipper 144 holds the bag in the folded state. In Fig.19, the bag 142 is shown in the unfolded state. At 146, a suspension device is designated by a chain 148. With the suspension device 146, the entire bag can be hung, for example, at a cloakroom.

A zipper 150 closes a storage part in which garments can be hung like a garment bag with a hanger. The closure member 152 provided for this purpose can be removed as a whole. The closure member 152 is formed in multiple layers of separate pocket layers 154, 156 and 158. The pockets are provided at the corresponding edges with a zipper part, with the

Zipper part 150 of the storage part 160 cooperates. By separating the zipper 150 and folding along the fold 162, a separate small handbag can be formed. In the inserted state, as shown in Fig. 19, the pockets formed by the individual layers for storing the garment parts, such as sleeves, skirt and trouser extensions, etc. The areas 164 and

166 form an engagement in the pockets 154 and 156, respectively. The back of the closure member 152 corresponding to the outside of the pocket is color matched to the garments.

With Velcro fasteners 170, another pocket 172 is attached to the closure member 152. This bag 172 is also removable and forms an evening bag, which is designed to match the dress and / or trouser suit. The pocket 172 is shown in Fig19 in the unfolded state.

In Fig. 20, the pocket 172 is shown in the folded state.

Each of the pockets serves as a storage means for the garments when they are not taken out and used separately. A particular advantage of this embodiment is that each of the garments has a short version, so that the travel bag is designed to be very short, in contrast to conventional garment bags.

The pants, skirt and coat extensions can be accommodated separately in the bag.
