Definitions

  • the present disclosure refers to the personal protection field, i.e. to the field of protection of a person, for instance of a passenger, a motor vehicle driver, a skier, a horse-rider, or an alike user, from impacts and/or falls during a sporting and/or working activity.
  • a solution is, for instance, that of including directly in the garment, e.g. in the suit, an inflatable element, like a bag of air-tight material, at body parts potentially concerned by impacts.
  • the inflatable element is arranged deflated and folded underneath the suit so that the latter acts as direct cover surface for the inflatable element.
  • the inflatable element is moreover set in fluid communication with a source of compressed gas, like a canister.
  • Such a garment is known from EP 2 373 188 .
  • an association a priori of an inflatable protection element with a garment restricts the choice of the garment by a user, and makes the garment less than versatile for use.
  • the user can purchase the garment only in association with the inflatable protection element.
  • a user has to insert the inflatable protection element in special pockets or housings of the garment. In these operations, a user can run into difficulties, as normally a garment for the practice of dynamic activities is made of a material offering protection, e.g. leather or leatherette, and has a rigid and therefore hardly practical consistency.
  • an under-garment including an inflatable protection element as defined in claim 1, a garment including said under-garment as defined in claim 12, and a method for equipping a garment according to claim 13.
  • Secondary features of the subject of the present disclosure are defined in the corresponding dependent claims thereof.
  • under-garment signifies an article, structurally separated and individually manipulable with respect to a garment, and that may be placed underneath the garment, or incorporated in the garment or received in a pocket of the garment.
  • the under-garment is an under-vest provided with inflatable protection element, and that may be associated with an external garment, according to needs and preference, or, when required, by a user.
  • an inflatable protection element is associated with a garment by means of an under-garment.
  • the term “garment” signifies an "outward" clothing item, i.e. an article that may face outward and exposed to an impact event or source.
  • the under-garment can be an article wearable per se, of light-weight and soft consistency, shaped like a T-shirt, a suit or other garment, for instance made of comfort material, e.g. of a material normally used for underwear and adapted to be placed underneath a protection garment, reducing to a minimum the encumbrance. Thanks to the light-weight and soft consistency, the inflatable protection element can be associated in an easy way and without difficulties with the under-garment, e.g. received in special pockets of the under-garment, or sewn to the under-garment, i.e., joined in a permanent manner.
  • the garment can be a motorcyclist suit or a driver suit in general, a motorcyclist or driver jacket or trousers, or another garment suitable for carrying out dynamic activities, and for protecting the user during the practice of said dynamic activities.
  • a user can customize at will the garment he/she intends to wear, associating or not associating with the garment the under-garment provided with the inflatable protection element.
  • the under-garment according to the present disclosure fosters also connection of the inflatable protection element with the external garment.
  • a garment employed during a dynamic activity is usually a garment of abrasion-resistant material, such as for example leather or leatherette, of rigid consistency.
  • the employ of an under-garment fosters coupling with the garment, thanks to the fact that a user can at first wear the under-garment provided with the inflatable protection element, and subsequently wear the external protection garment, such as, for example, the leather suit, wearing it over the under-garment.
  • the under-garment provided with inflatable protection element is associated with the garment so as to line the external garment, and, subsequently, the group including the external protection garment and the under-garment is worn in a single step by a user.
  • the garment is configured for receiving the under-garment; such configuration can be made already at a production step; for instance, the garment is provided with appropriate coupling or fastening elements, suitable for a removable connection of the under-garment to the external garment.
  • the under-garment 10, 110, 210 includes a vest 13, 213, for example shaped like a T-shirt, a suit or other so-called "underwear” garment, for instance of comfort material, that is worn close-fitting underneath an external garment 20 for protection, such as, for example, a driver's or a motorcyclist's suit or jacket, or in general of a suitable garment 20 that is worn during a dynamic activity.
  • a vest 13, 213 for example shaped like a T-shirt, a suit or other so-called "underwear” garment, for instance of comfort material, that is worn close-fitting underneath an external garment 20 for protection, such as, for example, a driver's or a motorcyclist's suit or jacket, or in general of a suitable garment 20 that is worn during a dynamic activity.
  • the under-garment 10, 110, 210 includes a vest 13, 213 made of Lycra fabric or alike soft and light-weight, nearly impalpable material, that can be worn by a user underneath the external garment 20, and that can remain underneath such an external garment 20, without creating excessive discomfort or encumbrance for a user.
  • it is a vest that is partially elastic and that may be worn close-fitting by a user.
  • the under-garment 10, 110 illustrated in Figures 1-7 is a vest that includes a pocket 11, 111 and an inflatable element 12, 112 which is housed in the pocket 11.
  • the pocket 11, 111 is drawn transparent in order to show the inflatable element 12, 112.
  • the under-garment 10 of Figures 1-2 differs from the under-garment 110 of Figure 3-4 in the shape of the inflatable element 12, 112, and accordingly in the shape of the respective pocket 11, 111.
  • the inflatable element 12 associated with the under-garment 10 of the embodiment of Figure 1 and Figure 2 is shaped to protect a user's neck, spine and shoulders.
  • the inflatable element 112 associated with the under-garment 110 of the embodiment of Figure 3 and of Figure 4 is shaped to protect a user's neck, shoulders and thorax. It is understood that the shape of the inflatable element 12, 112 and relative association with the under-garment 10, 110 are exemplary and non-limiting within the scope of the present disclosure and can be made according to modes and shapes known to a technician in the field.
  • the under-garment 10, 110 includes a pocket 25 placed at the back of the user, which is intended to receive a rigid plate shaped as a "hump" 26.
  • the plate shaped as a "hump” 26 is in turn intended to house a source of pressurized gas and a electronic unit for activating the inflatable element 12, 112, which are not illustrated in the drawings.
  • the garment 20 and the under-garment 10, 110 are duly provided to be connected and fastened to each other when the under-garment 10, 110 is worn by a user together with the garment 20.
  • the under-garment 10, 110 is adapted to be fastened to the respective garment 20 by a removable-type connection, such as for example Velcro ® and zip.
  • the under-garment 10, 110 includes a zip-shaped connecting portion 27 which surrounds the pocket 25 and is intended to be connected with a corresponding zip-shaped connecting portion (not visible in the drawings) associated with the inside of the garment 20.
  • the under-garment 10, 110 may include other connection areas at the wrists, between the shoulders and elbows, and moreover a connection area for the thorax.
  • a first mutual connection area 30 at the wrists including Velcro ® .
  • a second mutual connection area 31, interposed between the shoulders and elbows, includes a zip fastener portion.
  • a connection area for the thorax 32 further includes two zip fastener portions which start at the chest and diverge outward, to the respective side areas of the user's pelvis, and then rearward.
  • connection areas are selected to foster a practical connection of the under-garment 10, 110 with the garment 20.
  • connection areas may also be provided other systems and connection areas allowing to removably join the under-garment 10, 110 to the garment 20.
  • the under-garment 10, 110 can be associated with the garment 20, according to needs and when required, in order to equip the garment 20 with an inflatable protection element 12, 112.
  • the garment 20 can first be worn without the under-garment 10, 110 or in general without the inflatable element 12, 112, and subsequently, according to the dangerousness of an activity carried out, with the under-garment 10, 110 provided with the inflatable protection element 12, 112, when the use of the inflatable protection element 12, 112 becomes necessary.
  • the under-garment 10, 110 provided in advance with the inflatable element 12, 112, and with the abovementioned plate shaped like a "hump" 26 with a source of pressurized gas and a electronic activation unit, is connected to the garment 20.
  • the zip-shaped portion 27 surrounding the pocket 25 is fastened to the corresponding zip-shaped portion of the garment 20.
  • the connection first of the plate shaped as a "hump" 26 is compelled by the fact that the plate shaped as a "hump" 26 is relatively heavy with respect to the under-garment 10 (which, as mentioned, is made of light-weight fabric) and might cause an undesired movement of the entire under-garment 10 at the time of connection with the garment 20.
  • the fastening first of the plate shaped as a "hump" 26 allows to center and stably secure the under-garment 10, 110 to the garment 20 and to then proceed with the remaining connections of the sleeves and of the front area.
  • connection zone for the thorax 32 In a final step, to complete the connection, after having fastened the sleeves, the zip-shaped portions of the connection zone for the thorax 32 are joined.
  • the under-garment 210 in accordance with a further embodiment is illustrated.
  • the under-garment includes a T-shirt or an alike vest, which can be worn in advance by a user before wearing the external garment 20.
  • the under-garment 210 includes a T-shirt of soft material, adapted to be placed underneath a skier, horse-rider, motorcyclist or driver's suit, and a protection clothing item in general.
  • An inflatable protection element 212 is fastened, for example by seams, on an external layer of the T-shirt 210.
  • the under-garment 210 can be associated with a garment 20, at will by a user, according to needs and when required, in order to equip the garment 20 with the inflatable protection element 212.
  • the garment 20 can be first worn without the under-garment 210, and, subsequently, with the under-garment 210, e.g. when a use of the inflatable protection element 212 is required.
  • the under-garment 210 may be provided with different inflatable protection elements, depending on the use and the dynamic activity that is carried out.
  • under-garments 210 different the one from the other can be envisaged, each provided with an inflatable protection element of determined shape.
  • the inflatable element 212 may be joined to the under-garment 210, by a special pocket or by other form of connection.
  • such inflatable element 12, 112, 212 is adapted to cooperate with special activation means operatively connected to inflation means, such as, as mentioned, the abovementioned source of compressed gas.
  • inflation means may comprise gas generators of the pyrotechnic or hybrid type or other types known according to the present art.
  • Said inflation means is operated by a control unit by means of sensing of the state of the vehicle/user system; for example, said control unit may implement a fall prediction system allowing a timely identification of the fall event and a reliable prediction thereof by means of accelerometric sensors integral to the vehicle (or to the driver) and a processing unit of the signals produced by the sensors themselves.
  • activation and inflation means can be integrated in the under-garment according to the present invention or placed outside the same.
