Description

Die Erfindung betrifft Bekleidungsstück insbesondere zum Einsatz bei sportlicher Betätigung wie Joggen, Skating, Radfahren oder dergleichen, das aus mindestens einem Garn hergestellt ist, das eine Beschichtung aufweist.The invention relates to garment, in particular for use in sports such as jogging, skating, cycling or the like, which is made of at least one yarn having a coating.

An Bekleidungsstücke für sportliche Betätigungen werden eine Vielzahl von Anforderungen gestellt. Sie sollen einerseits ein relativ ein geringes Gewicht aufweisen, um eine zusätzliche Belastung des Sportlers durch das Gewicht zu vermeiden; andererseits soll die Bekleidung funktionsbezogen sein, also auf die jeweiligen Sportarten ausgerichtet. Hierzu ist die Bekleidung beispielsweise mit Polstern, Dehnungselemente oder dergleichen versehen, die auf die jeweilige Sportart ausgerichtet eine optimale Funktionstüchtigkeit gewährleisten (vgl. bspw. DE 79 14 614 U1 ). Zudem soll die Bekleidung für sportliche Aktivitäten eine Klimaregulierung erwirken. Hierzu sind Be- und Entlüftungen an den Bekleidungsstücken bekannt (vgl. bspw. US 6 263 510 B1 ). Auch die gezielte Weiter- oder Ableitung von Wärme innerhalb der Kleidung an bestimmten Stellen zur Verbesserung der Klimaeigenschaften der Bekleidung sind bekannt. DE-U-20 2006 018 486 offerbart Silberfäden, die einen kern aus Polyamid aufweisen.Clothing for sports activities is subject to a variety of requirements. On the one hand, they should have a relatively low weight in order to avoid additional stress on the athlete due to the weight; On the other hand, the clothing should be functionally related, ie geared to the respective sports. For this purpose, the clothing is provided, for example, with upholstery, expansion elements or the like, which ensure optimum functionality for the particular sport (cf. DE 79 14 614 U1 ). In addition, the clothing for sporting activities to obtain a climate regulation. For this purpose, ventilation on the garments are known (see, for example. US Pat. No. 6,263,510 B1 ). Also the targeted Further or dissipation of heat within the clothing at certain points to improve the climatic properties of the clothing are known. DE-U-20 2006 018 486 Offers silver threads that have a polyamide core.

Ein bisher vernachlässigter Gesichtspunkt bei der Gestaltung von Kleidungsstücken für sportliche Betätigungen ist die den Sportler umgebende Luft im Freien. Insbesondere bei Ausdauersportarten, wie beispielsweise Joggen, Skating, Radfahren oder dergleichen ist der Sportler im Sommer zum Teil sehr warmer Luft ausgesetzt. Die warme Luft ist Folge der Sonnenstrahlung. Die Sonnenstrahlung bewirkt aber auch ein Aufheizen des Straßenbelages, der Gebäudemauern usw. Die Luft wird daher zusätzlich durch die Wärmeabstrahlung des Straßenbelags oder der Gebäudemauern aufgeheizt.A hitherto neglected aspect in the design of garments for sports activities is the outdoor air surrounding the athlete. Especially in endurance sports, such as jogging, skating, cycling or the like, the athlete is exposed in the summer partly very warm air. The warm air is the result of solar radiation. However, the solar radiation also causes a heating of the road surface, the building walls, etc. The air is therefore additionally heated by the heat radiation of the road surface or the building walls.

Die warme Luft wirkt unmittelbar auf den Körper ein, da die bekannten Bekleidungsstücke auf die Abweisung der Umgebungswärme nicht ausgelegt sind und somit die warme Luft direkt mit der Haut des Sportlers in Berührung tritt. Dies hat eine Reduzierung des Leistungsvermögens des Sportlers zur Folge, da der Körper nicht nur der zusätzlichen Wärme durch seine eigene sportliche Betätigung ausgesetzt ist, sondern zusätzlich noch der Wärme der Umgebungsluft. Die Folge ist eine Erhöhung der Körpertemperatur. Da der menschliche Körper bei 37 °C seine Wohlfühltemperatur hat, die gleichzeitig auch die Temperatur größter Leistungsfähigkeit darstellt, führt eine Erhöhung der Körpertemperatur in der Regel zu einem Leistungsabfall. Ein Fernhalten der warmen Umgebungsluft könnte damit eine Leistungssteigerung bei Ausdauersportarten hervorrufen.The warm air has a direct effect on the body, since the known garments are not designed for the rejection of ambient heat and thus the warm air comes into direct contact with the skin of the athlete. This results in a reduction in the performance of the athlete, because the body is not only exposed to the additional heat through its own exercise, but also the heat of the ambient air. The result is an increase in body temperature. Since the human body at 37 ° C has its comfort temperature, which is also the temperature of greatest performance, an increase in body temperature usually leads to a loss of performance. Keeping away the warm ambient air could thus cause an increase in performance in endurance sports.

Es ist bekannt, Bekleidungsstücke herzustellen, die ein Fernhalten von Hitze beispielsweise durch Feuer ermöglichen sowie eine hohe Temperaturbeständigkeit aufweisen und somit den das Kleidungsstück tragenden Menschen vor den hohen Temperaturen zu schützen. Dies ist insbesondere bei Bekleidungsstücken für Menschen der Fall, die an Hochöfen arbeiten oder Feuerwehrleuten (vgl. bspw. US 4 034 417 ). Diese Kleidungsstücke sind in der Regel aus mehreren Lagen herstellt, von denen mindestens eine eine hohe Temperaturbeständigkeit aufweist. Gleichzeitig sind die Kleidungsstücke in der Regel wasserabweisend. Hierbei finden Kunststofffasern Anwendung; es sind jedoch andere schwer entflammbare Materialien unter Verwendung von keramischen Werkstoffen, Glas oder dergleichen einsetzbar (vgl. bspw. DD 247 637 A1 ). Die bekannten Kleidungsstücke sind zwar hochtemperaturbeständig bzw. wärmadämmend; sie sind jedoch für sportliche Aktivitäten, insbesondere Ausdauersportarten wie Jogging, Skating, Fahrradfahren und dergleichen, ungeeignet, da die Bekleidungsstücke aus den bekannten Materialien schwer sind und lediglich eine geringe Bewegungsfreiheit ermöglichen. Aus der DE 20 2006 018 488 U1 ist ein Überzug für Eintegesohlen bekannt, der Fäden aufweist, die auf ihrer der Haut zugewandten Seite teilweise von einer Schicht umgeben sind.It is known to produce garments that allow keeping away from heat, for example by fire and have a high temperature resistance and thus protect the garment wearing people from the high temperatures. This is particularly the case for garments for people who work on blast furnaces or firefighters (see, for example. US 4,034,417 ). These garments are usually made of several layers, of which at least one has a high temperature resistance having. At the same time, the garments are usually water repellent. Here are plastic fibers application; However, other flame retardant materials using ceramic materials, glass or the like can be used (see, for example. DD 247 637 A1 ). The known garments are indeed high temperature resistant or heat-insulating; However, they are for sports activities, especially endurance sports such as jogging, skating, cycling and the like, unsuitable because the garments made of the known materials are heavy and allow only a small amount of freedom of movement. From the DE 20 2006 018 488 U1 For example, a cover for soles is known which has sutures partially surrounded by a layer on its skin-facing side.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Bekleidungsstück zu schaffen, weiches bei sportlicher Betätigung eine Leistungssteigerung durch Fernhalten der warmen Umgebungsluft zur Folge hat. Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Beschichtung wärme-reflektierend ist, das Garn mit einem weiterin Garn verwirkt ist, das weitere Garn auf der der Haut zugewandten Seite und das Garn auf der der Haut abgewandten Seite angeordnet ist.It is an object of the present invention to provide a garment, which has a performance increase by keeping the warm ambient air during exercise. According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the coating is heat-reflecting, the yarn is forfeited with a further yarn, the further yarn is arranged on the side facing the skin and the yarn is arranged on the side facing away from the skin.

Mit der Erfindung ist ein Bekleidungsstück, insbesondere zum Einsatz bei sportlicher Betätigung geschaffen, das ein Fernhalten der warmen Umgebungsluft vom Körper ermöglicht. Durch das Vorsehen eines Garns, welches eine wärme-reflektierende Beschichtung aufweist, ist eine Ablenkung der warmen Luft nach außen, also vom Körper weg, möglich; die warme Luft wird vom Körper ferngehalten. In Folge dessen ist die Haut des Sportiers neben der auf Grund der Anstrengung erhöhten Wärmeproduktion nicht noch zusätzlich der Wärme der Umgebungsluft ausgesetzt, wodurch eine Leistungssteigerung zu erzielen ist.With the invention, a garment, in particular for use during exercise is created, which allows keeping away the warm ambient air from the body. By providing a yarn which has a heat-reflecting coating, a deflection of the warm air to the outside, ie away from the body, is possible; the warm air is kept away from the body. As a result, the athlete's skin is not additionally exposed to the heat of the ambient air in addition to the increased heat production due to the effort, whereby an increase in performance can be achieved.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die Beschichtung aus Edelmetall, Edelmetalle haben sich besonders bei der Erprobung zur Wärmereflektion als geeignet herausgestellt. Zudem bieten Edelmetalle den Vorteil, dass sie darüber hinaus eine Reflektion des Sonnenlichts ermöglichen, so dass auch auf diese Weise eine Verbesserung der kilmatischen Bedingungen um den Sportler herum bewirkt ist.In a further development of the invention, the coating of precious metal, precious metals have been found to be particularly suitable for testing for heat reflection. In addition, precious metals have the advantage that they also allow a reflection of sunlight, so that in this way an improvement of the kilmatischen conditions around the athlete is effected around.

Vorteilhaft ist die Beschichtung aus Gold hergestellt. Bei der Erprobung der wärme-reflektierenden Beschichtung konnten bei der Verwendung von Gold die besten Ergebnisse erzielt werden.Advantageously, the coating is made of gold. When testing the heat-reflective coating, the best results could be achieved using gold.

Es ist ein weiteres Garn vorgesehen, das mit dem Garn verwirkt ist. Hierdurch ist ein mehrlagiges Bekleidungsstück geschaffen, sodass durch die Auswahl des weiteren Garns eine weitere zielgerichtete Abstimmung auf die jeweiligen Ansprüche erfolgen kann.There is another yarn forfeited with the yarn. As a result, a multi-layered garment is created, so that by the selection of the further yarn further targeted coordination can be made to the respective claims.

Das weitere Garn ist der Haut zugewandt und das erste Garn der Haut abgewandt. Durch diese Ausgestaltung ist gewährleistet, dass das wärme- und licht-reflektierende Garn auf der Außenseite vorgesehen ist, um seine Aufgabe zu erfüllen.The other yarn faces the skin and the first yarn avoids the skin. This configuration ensures that the heat and light-reflecting yarn is provided on the outside to fulfill its task.

In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht das erste Garn aus Polyamid. Polyamid vermeidet eine Aufnahme der beim Sport entstehenden Feuchtigkeit in Form von Schweiß, so dass sich das Bekleidungsstück selbst nicht mit der Feuchtigkeit voll saugt und somit sein Gewicht erhöht. Die Verwendung von Polyamid führt vielmehr dazu, dass der Schweiß flächig auf der Haut gleichmaßig verteilt wird. Durch die großflächige Verteilung tritt ein Kühleffekt sowie eine schnellere Abtrocknung des Schweißes auf, was ebenfalls zu einer Leistungssteigerung führt.In an embodiment of the invention, the first yarn is made of polyamide. Polyamide avoids absorption of the moisture generated by sport in the form of perspiration, so that the garment itself does not fully absorb moisture and thus increase its weight. Rather, the use of polyamide results in the sweat being uniformly distributed over the skin. Due to the large-area distribution occurs a cooling effect and a faster drying of the sweat, which also leads to an increase in performance.

Bei dem als Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 1 gewählten Bekleidungsstück handelt es sich um ein Kurzarm-Shirt 1, welches zum Einsatz bei sportlicher Betätigung geeignet ist. Es ist aus einem Garn 3 hergestellt, das eine Beschichtung 5 aufweist, die wärme-reflektierend ist. Im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 2 ist das Bekleidungsstück 1 aus zwei Garnen 2, 3 hergestellt, die miteinander verwirkt sind. Verwirkt im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung kann sowohl heißen, dass die Garne 2 und 3 miteinander verwoben sind, als auch, dass es sich um ein Gestrick handelt. Das verwobene Material bietet eine hohe Festigkeit, wohingegen das gestrickte Material eine sehr hohe Elastizität ermöglicht. Das Garn 2 ist der mit 4 gekennzeichneten Haut zugewandt; das Garn 3 ist der Haut 4 abgewandt.In the exemplary embodiment FIG. 1 selected garment is a short-sleeved shirt 1, which is suitable for use during exercise. It is made of a yarn 3 having a coating 5 which is heat-reflecting. In the embodiment according to FIG. 2 the garment 1 is made of two yarns 2, 3, which are verwirkt together. Forfeited in the sense of the present invention may be both that the yarns 2 and 3 are woven together, as well as that it is a knitted fabric. The woven material offers high strength, whereas the knitted material allows a very high elasticity. The yarn 2 faces the skin marked 4; the yarn 3 faces away from the skin 4.

Das Garn 2 besteht im Ausführungsbeispiel aus Polyamid. Bei Polyamiden handelt es sich um Polymere, unter denen üblicherweise synthetische, technisch verwendbare thermoplastische Kunststoffe subsumierbar sind. Es kann sich bei den verwendeten Polyamiden sowohl um faserige wie auch nicht fasrige Polyamide handeln. Das verwendete Polyamid liegt auf der Haut auf, wie dies schematisch Figur 2 zu entnehmen ist. Es nimmt keine Feuchtigkeit und somit auch keinen Schweiß auf. Dadurch ist bei der sportlichen Betätigung verhindert, dass auf Grund einer möglichen Schweißaufnahme das Bekleidungsstück im Laufe der Zeit an Gewicht zunimmt, woraus eine erhöhte Belastung für den Sportler resultiert. Das verwendete Garn 2 aus Polyamid bewirkt im Gegenteil eine bessere Verteilung des Schweißes auf der Haut. Dadurch ist eine größere Verdunstungsoberfläche geschaffen, so dass der Schweiß schnell von der Haut verdunsten kann. Gleichzeitig ist eine große Fläche für das Entstehen von Verdunstungskälte geschaffen die ein Kühleffekt hervorruft. Dies führt zu einer Verringerung der Körpertemperatur, wodurch das Leistungsniveau des Sportlers erhöht wird. In Abwandlung des Ausführungsbeispiels besteht auch die Möglichkeit, an Stelle von Polyamiden für das Garn 2 Polyester zu verwenden. Außerdem können in Abwandlung des Ausführungsbeispiels die miteinander verwirkten Garne nachträglich auf der der Haut zugewandten (Innen-)Seite mit einer Beschichtung versehen werden, um bestimmte Effekte, beispielsweise Anti-Fungizide oder antibakterielle Wirkungen, zu erzielen.The yarn 2 is in the embodiment of polyamide. Polyamides are polymers under which usually synthetic, technically usable thermoplastics can be subsumed. The polyamides used may be both fibrous and non-fibrous polyamides. The polyamide used is on the skin, as shown schematically FIG. 2 can be seen. It absorbs no moisture and therefore no sweat. As a result, it is prevented during exercise that due to a possible sweat absorption the garment over time increases in weight, resulting in an increased burden on the athlete. On the contrary, the yarn 2 made of polyamide causes a better distribution of perspiration on the skin. Thereby A larger evaporation surface is created so that the sweat can quickly evaporate from the skin. At the same time a large area for the creation of evaporative cold is created which causes a cooling effect. This leads to a decrease in body temperature, which increases the performance level of the athlete. In a modification of the embodiment, it is also possible to use instead of polyamides for the yarn 2 polyester. In addition, in a modification of the embodiment, the tangled yarns may be subsequently provided on the skin facing (inside) side with a coating to achieve certain effects, such as anti-fungicides or antibacterial effects.

Das Garn 3 ist im Ausführungsbeispiel ebenfalls aus Polyamid. Es sind jedoch auch andere Materialien für das Garn 3 verwendbar. Das Garn 3 weist eine Beschichtung 5 auf, die wärme-reflektierend ist. Die Beschichtung 5 besteht im Ausführungsbeispiel aus Edelmetall, vorliegend aus Gold. Die Verwendung von anderen Edelmetallen, wie beispielsweise Silber ist ebenfalls möglich. Auch kann die Beschichtung 5 von aufgetragenen Lacken oder Farben gebildet sein. Die Beschichtung 5 bewirkt eine Reflektion der Wärme und je nach Art der Beschichtung 5 auch eine Reflektion des Sonnenlichts. Das Garn 3 wirkt auf Grund der damit versehenen Beschichtung 5 im übertragenen Sinne wie ein Spiegel; von außen auf das Bekleidungsstück 1 einwirkende Wärme oder einwirkendes Sonnenlicht wird reflektiert, wie dies die die einwirkende Wärme symbolisierenden Pfeile 6 verdeutlichen, die in Figur 1 dargestellt sind. Die Reflektion ist bei den Edelmetallen durch die glänzende Oberfläche hervorgerufen; bei den Lacken und Farben ist dies durch die Pigmentierung erzielt. Durch eine relativ dichte Maschenweite des Garns 3 ist eine annähernd wärme- und / oder lichtdicht geschlossene Oberfläche des Bekleidungsstücks 1 erzielbar.The yarn 3 is also made of polyamide in the embodiment. However, other materials for the yarn 3 are usable. The yarn 3 has a coating 5 which is heat-reflecting. The coating 5 is in the embodiment of noble metal, in this case made of gold. The use of other precious metals such as silver is also possible. Also, the coating 5 may be formed by applied paints or inks. The coating 5 causes a reflection of the heat and, depending on the nature of the coating 5, also a reflection of the sunlight. The yarn 3 acts on the basis of the provided therewith coating 5 in a figurative sense as a mirror; from the outside acting on the garment 1 heat or sunlight is reflected, as illustrated by the acting heat symbolizing arrows 6, the in FIG. 1 are shown. The reflection is caused by the glossy surface of the precious metals; in the case of paints and varnishes, this is achieved through pigmentation. By a relatively dense mesh size of the yarn 3, an approximately heat and / or light-tight closed surface of the garment 1 can be achieved.

In Abwandlung des Ausführungsbeispiels besteht auch die Möglichkeit, zusätzliche Lagen von Garnen zu verwenden, so dass beispielsweise ein drei- oder auch vierlagiges Gewebe herstellbar ist. Bei der mehrlagigen Gestaltung des Gewebes ist zudem zwischen der der Haut 4 zugewandten Lage - im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 2 dem Garn 2 - und der der Haut 4 abgewandten Lage - im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 2 dem Garn 3 - eine Trennschicht 7 hervorgerufen, die im Ausführungsbeispiel vom Mischbereich der Garne 2 und 3 gebildet ist; bei drei- oder vierlagiger Gestaltung ist die Trennschicht von den zwischen den Garnen 2 und 3 angeordneten Garnen gebildet. In der Trennschicht 7 sammelt sich bei großer Wärme bzw. sportlicher Betätigung die in Form von Schweiß ausgeschiedene Feuchtigkeit. Dadurch ist die Verdunstungsfläche zusätzlich vergrößert, wodurch noch mehr Verdunstungskälte erzielbar ist. Der Klimatisierungseffekt ist somit weiter verbessert.In a modification of the embodiment, it is also possible to use additional layers of yarns, so that, for example, a three- or even four-ply fabric can be produced. In the multilayer design of the fabric is also between the skin 4 facing position - in the embodiment according to FIG. 2 the yarn 2 - and the skin 4 facing away - in the embodiment according to FIG. 2 the yarn 3 - a release layer 7 caused, which is formed in the embodiment of the mixing region of the yarns 2 and 3; in three- or four-ply design, the release layer is formed by the arranged between the yarns 2 and 3 yarns. In the separating layer 7, the moisture precipitated in the form of sweat collects with great heat or physical activity. As a result, the evaporation surface is additionally increased, whereby even more evaporation cooling can be achieved. The air conditioning effect is thus further improved.

Nach der vorliegenden Erfindung ist lediglich erforderlich, dass die wärme-reflektierende Beschichtung 5 die der Haut abgewandte Schicht bildet, um eine Wärme- und Lichtreflektion zu ermöglichen, und dadurch die oben beschriebenen Wirkungen zu erzielen. Durch das erfindungsgemäße Bekleidungsstück ist eine deutliche Verbesserung der Leistungsfähigkeit der Sportler bei hohen Temperaturen oder starken Lichteinstrahlung möglich, da der Körper nicht durch die zusätzliche warme Umgebungsluft belastet wird, sondern diese durch das beschichtete Garn reflektiert wird. Auf der der Haut zugewandten Seite findet dabei insbesondere bei mehrlagiger Gestaltung des Gewebes gleichzeitig eine großflächige Verteilung des Schweißes statt, so dass die für eine optimale Kühlleistung des Körpers erforderliche Verdunstungskälte großflächig erzielbar ist.According to the present invention, it is only required that the heat-reflective coating 5 forms the skin-facing layer to allow heat and light reflection, thereby achieving the effects described above. By the garment according to the invention a significant improvement in the performance of athletes at high temperatures or strong light is possible because the body is not burdened by the additional warm ambient air, but this is reflected by the coated yarn. On the side facing the skin, a large-area distribution of perspiration takes place at the same time, in particular in the case of multi-layered design of the fabric, so that the evaporation cooling required for optimal cooling performance of the body can be achieved over a large area.
