Definitions

  • the present invention relates to technical clothes of the type pointed out in the preamble of the first claim.
  • This type of clothes consists in a particular garment suitable for particular conditions that may cause traumas, sprains or other problems for the user. It has to protect the user against possible traumas and incorrect physical strains that can give rise to pain due to sprains. Said clothes, in addition to the above functions, must be suitable to allow a high mobility, i.e. must not represent a hindrance to the user's movements thereby enabling him/her to execute movements in a natural manner.
  • clothes comprise a motorcycling suit for covering almost the whole body and provide a sensation of comfort, and suitable passive-security elements secured to the suit and adapted to mitigate the negative effects of possible impacts.
  • a back-protection is provided for the motorcyclist, which is usually made of a polymeric material and is adapted to mitigate the impact of the back on the asphalt following a fall, and the so-called "pads", i.e. components disposed at the elbows and knees and adapted to avoid traumas due to impacts or rubbing of the aforesaid body portions on the asphalt.
  • the suit is made of particular materials maintaining the user's body to an agreeable temperature allowing perspiration and air passage.
  • clothes not only ensure a good security degree, but must also protect the user against the low temperatures of the external environment. They therefore consist of a suit which is characterised by impermeability and a high coefficient of heat insulation.
  • passive-security elements can be provided which are suitable to absorb part of the impact due to a fall.
  • Another important disadvantage is represented by a poor sensation of comfort that is perceived with such clothes due to an inappropriate perspiration.
  • a further problem resides in the great arduousness of the operations required for wearing technical clothes.
  • Another important aim of the invention is to supply the user with an appropriate support capable of following him/her in all movements and facilitating the resistance to stresses that are applied to said user.
  • a further important aim is to manufacture technical clothes that are able to give an agreeable feeling of comfort, that is to say to ensure an appropriate perspiration and an optimal temperature under any use condition.
  • the invention also aims at obtaining clothes that can be worn with ease.
  • the fastening means 4 can be of two types: an adjustable type 4a in which they allow brace 3 to be fixed to garment 2 at a suitably extended area enabling said components to be mutually adjusted; a fixed type 4b , in which said means secures brace 3 to garment 2 at a given point, the diaphragmatic region for example ( Fig. 4 ).
  • the fixed fastening means 4b is obtained with a seaming, a hinge or other similar element.
  • the adjustable fastening means 4a advantageously consists of Velcro or other similar element enabling the position of brace 3 to be varied relative to that of garment 2, and also allowing brace 3 to be maintained in a tensioned condition, ensuring a maximum adhesion between the elements constituting clothes 1.
  • the inner garment 2 and, in particular, the materials it is made of, are suitable to maintain the body to a constant temperature, offer an appropriate support to the joints and ensure a good perspiration of the regions covered with clothes 1.
  • garment 2 contemplates the presence of a plurality of sectors suitably joined to each other and made of different materials so as to adapt the local features of garment 2 to the body portions on which it is disposed. Connection between said sectors is preferably obtained by means of seams, ultrasonic waves or other similar techniques.
  • connection between the sectors can be obtained through heatsealing.
  • said connection is made of a fabric ribbon placed at the junction region between two sectors and adapted to be heatsealed with said two sectors.
  • the different sectors are characterised by different coefficients of elasticity and transpiration capacity, so as to ensure an appropriate support and a great comfort to the body portion covered with said garment.
  • almost all sectors are preferably made of elastic material in order to ensure a perfect adhesion of garment 2 to the user's body.
  • this material is ladder-proof so that its features can remain unchanged in time.
  • This material consists of a fabric obtained on weaving machines having a loom of the type for ladder-proof working and made up of a first elastic thread, Lycra for example, and a second anelastic thread, such as polyamide microfibre, which extend substantially together and in the same direction, with an advantageous periodicity of two stitches and forming preferably open loops.
  • the elastic fabric is present in a percentage included between 15% and 35%, while the anelastic fabric between 85% and 65%.
  • this material is a Sensitive ® fabric, produced by Eurojersey.
  • thermal sectors 5a are provided which are made of materials enabling the user's body to be maintained to an ideal temperature.
  • Sectors 5a are adapted to store or release heat balancing the human body's temperature and therefore avoiding overheating or cooling.
  • Sectors 5a enable perspiration or a sensation of cold to be avoided and increase the user's sensation of comfort.
  • supporting sectors 5b are provided the materials of which ensure an appropriate containment of the joints, therefore avoiding incorrect motions of the body that could cause traumas in the form of sprain to the joint.
  • the materials constituting sectors 5b are of such a nature that they advantageously bind up a body portion exerting a proprioceptive skin stimulation.
  • This bandage allows sectors 5b to exert a beneficial action on muscles.
  • sectors 5b exerting pressure on the skin, apply controlled stresses on joints, which stresses through stimulation of the neuro-motor system, enable the motor and postural control to be improved.
  • impact sectors 5c can be provided which are adapted to mitigate a possible fall and advantageously placed at the body portions that are more frequently submitted to impact, such as the upper part of the shoulders or the knees.
  • the impact sectors 5c can be made of a material capable of instantaneous stiffening, i.e. materials that, if submitted to a shock, instantaneously become stiff while remaining flexible during normal operation.
  • the support brace 3 is adapted to at least partly wrap part of garment 2 and more specifically at least one joint, such as one shoulder or knee, performing a containment action thereon. It is therefore made of an elastic material of high strength and, in particular, the above described Sensitive ® fabric.
  • brace 3 is made of a bonded material, i.e. the Sensitive Bonded ® fabric, in which coupling of two or more layers, of Sensitive fabrics in particular, is provided.
  • the support brace 3 is worn after wearing the inner garment 2 and is secured thereto by the aforesaid fastening means 4.
  • it has adjustable fastening means 4a enabling a rigid locking between said two components adjusting the position of brace 3 relative to garment 2.
  • This adjustment also due to the elasticity of brace 3, allows said brace to be advantageously stretched so that it is able to perfectly adhere to the user and wrap part of his/her body.
  • brace 3 can be provided with at least one pad 3a made of a colloidal material and positioned at the body parts that are most submitted to fatigue stresses, such as the clavicle and knee.
  • pad 3a is placed internally of brace 3 so that, when the user wears brace 3, it exerts an advantageous pressure allowing the pad 3a to be pressed, in order that said pad by exerting pressure on the body helps in keeping a correct position and relaxes the tissues.
  • Figs. 1-6 Shown in Figs. 1-6 are possible non-limiting examples of the technical clothes 1.
  • clothes 1 are represented which consist of a vest characterised by a first level made up of the inner garment 2 and a second level made up of the support brace 3.
  • a plurality of sectors fastened to each other is provided in brace 2, shown in Fig. 3 , said sectors being positioned as follows: the thermal sector 5a wraps the low abdomen, the lower part of the back and the arms extremities; two supporting sectors 5b wrap the part of the bust adjacent to the shoulder, the shoulder itself and part of the arm; the two impact sectors 5c surround the upper part of each shoulder.
  • the thermal sector 5a is made of Sensitive Power ® 240 fabric, in which the elastic thread and the anelastic one are respectively present in percentages of about 20% and 80%, with a weight of 240 g/m 2 .
  • the supporting sector 5b is made of sensitive Bonded ® 328 fabric, in which the elastic thread and the anelastic one are respectively present in percentages of about 28% and 72% with a weight of 328 g/m 2 .
  • elastic sectors 5d are provided which are adapted to avoid an excessive body constraint, and perspiring sectors 5e suitable to ensure an optimal perspiration.
  • the elastic sectors 5d are strips of fabric characterised by high elasticity and advantageously placed at the diaphragmatic region so as to promote perspiration. These sectors 5d are preferably made of Sensitive ® fabric and, in particular, Sensitive soft ® fabric, in which the elastic thread and the anelastic one are respectively present in percentages of about 28% and 72% with a weight of 171 g/m 2 .
  • the perspiring sectors 5e are arranged at the body portion adapted to be subsequently covered with brace 3 and are characterised by a high perspiration so that an excessive heat accumulation is not generated due to brace 3 overlapping garment 2.
  • Sectors 5e are advantageously positioned at the chest and the armpits and are preferably made of perforated Lycra.
  • the inner garment 2 comprises a compartment 2a formed in the rear portion thereof at the backbone and adapted to receive a back-protection 6 located on the body back.
  • the back-protection 6 is able to absorb a possible shock suffered by the back avoiding injuries to the backbone.
  • the compartment 2a is of the open type, i.e. it allows easy pulling out of the back-protection from garment 2 and introduction therein.
  • Brace 3 shown in Fig. 4 substantially has a shape similar to that of a T-shirt, but it advantageously covers only the abdomen portion above the diaphragmatic region. Due to this shape, breathing is not hindered and an easy movement of the limbs is ensured, which limbs would be otherwise bothered by the brace itself due to an excessive wrapping.
  • brace 3 is advantageously provided with two pads 3a placed at the shoulder blade and more specifically, on the acromion, as shown in Fig. 1 b.
  • brace 3 fastening of brace 3 to garment 2 is ensured both by the adjustable fastening means 4a and the fixed fastening means 4b.
  • the fixed fastening means 4b secures the support brace 3 to garment 2 in the part overlying the diaphragmatic region, while the adjustable fastening means 4a is suitable to carry out fastening at the abdomen.
  • clothes 1 consist of trousers substantially made up of the inner garment 2 and of two support braces 3 adapted to wrap at least the portion adjacent to the knees.
  • the thermal sector 5a also performs the function of support and is therefore preferably made of Sensitive Bonded ® 328 fabric.
  • This sector 5a is preferably formed with bands adapted to surround the rear portion of the thigh, the calf and almost the whole knee.
  • the rest of the garment is made of Sensitive Power ® 240 or other material suitable to ensure a good adhesion of the garment and a sufficient transpiration capability.
  • an impact sector 5c can be provided which is adapted to avoid the knees being affected by traumas due to fall.
  • Each support brace 3 shown in Fig. 6 advantageously has a lower ring-shaped portion, adapted to surround the calf, a central portion adapted to surround the knee and an upper portion for partly surrounding the upper part of the leg.
  • the upper portion has fixed fastening means 4b for securing the brace to garment 2 at the lower part of the bust, as shown in Figs. 5a and 5b .
  • each brace 3 has a pad 3a adapted to come into contact with the lower part of the knee.
  • brace 3 is secured to garment 2 by the releasable fastening means 4a.
  • the user wears garment 2 and then slips braces 3 on one by one.
  • the lower ring-shaped portion comes into contact with the calf and then the user, due to the fixed fastening means 4b, secures said brace to garment 3.
  • the user can wear braces 3 simultaneously with the inner garment 2.
  • the invention comprises a new process for manufacturing the technical clothes 1.
  • an inner garment 2 is provided.
  • garment 2 is advantageously disposed on a suitable structure, such as a dummy, or alternatively directly on the user. This arrangement allows garment 2 to be fully laid down in order to make the following operations easier.
  • At least one support brace 3 is superposed on at least part of the inner garment 2.
  • the structure appears to be covered with garment 2 which in turn is partly covered with brace 3.
  • brace 3 due to the particular materials it is made of, appears to be taut and is caused to adhere to almost the whole garment portion covered with it.
  • the invention enables important advantages to be achieved.
  • the technical clothes 1 offer a high freedom and facility of movement.
  • the advantageous use of Sensitive ® fabrics ensures a great flexibility and comfort to the individual garment components.
  • Sensitive ® fabrics due to their particular features, are able to offer an appropriate support to the user's body in all movements thereof.
  • the double coating ensured by overlapping brace 3 and garment 2 and the almost perfect adhesion between said two elements defines an elastic structure that is also characterised by a high containment capability allowing traumas resulting from an incorrect movement of a joint to be avoided.
  • Sensitive ® Power and Sensitive ® Bonded fabrics counteracts the muscle oscillation and ensures a greater movement accuracy.
  • a further advantage is represented by the easy wearing of clothes 1.
  • the impact sectors 5c made of a material offering an instantaneous stiffening while being flexible during normal use, so that said sectors enable the user to carry out easy movements, but on occurrence of an impact, they become stiff allowing the impact energy to be distributed and therefore traumas to be avoided.
  • the particular materials constituting the technical clothes 1 offer an ideal perspiration and an almost ideal inner temperature.
  • Sensitive ® fabrics allows technical clothes 1 to be obtained that are characterised by a more reduced thickness and therefore greater comfort and mobility.
  • Another important advantage resides in the heatsealing operations carried out for joining two or more sectors together.
  • the obtained heatseals are in fact able to ensure a high Young's modulus at the seal and therefore a high elasticity to said junction.
