Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of cycling sport suits.
  • the invention is directed to cycling suits made of fabric panels joined together, and relates to a novel technique for making the leg portion.
  • a known structure of a cycling suit is composed of several fabric portions connected each other by suitable seams. Said fabric portions are also termed panels.
  • a cycling garment with such a structure is described, for example, in EP-A-1834532 .
  • leg portions are substantially tubular parts and comprise at least two seams, namely a front seam and a rear seam; this known embodiment, however, has proven to be poorly ergonomic.
  • the invention aims to solve this problem, that is to provide a novel and more efficient way of making the leg portions of the referred kind of cycling suits.
  • the cycling suit comprises a plurality of fabric panels which are associated along structural seam lines, comprises left and right leg portions, and characterized in that : each one of said left and right leg portions is made of a single fabric panel, said panel having two curvilinear opposite sides and being folded until said opposite sides meet each other, forming a substantially S-shaped seam line in the rear part of the leg, said seam being the only seam of the respective leg portion.
  • a feature of the invention is the provision of only one seam in each of the leg portion. Accordingly, a first advantage of the invention is the construction featuring a single fabric panel and a single seam for each of the leg portions. Reducing the number of seams is an advantage in terms of the manufacturing process and comfort.
  • this particular embodiment is surprisingly effective in following the pedalling movement and the sticking to the body of the user.
  • the curvilinear form of the seam has been found to provide optimum adherence to the body and comfort, keeping a suitable tension of the elasticized fabric under various conditions of use, and especially under intensive use.
  • seam line are used to denote any applicable technique for joining fabric panels, including for example sewing, gluing, welding.
  • the seam is made by sewing.
  • cycling suit is used to denote various items including at least a trouser portion having a crotch area, such as a bodysuit, a pair of trousers and the like.
  • a cycling suit 1 is made of a plurality of fabric panels which are associated along structural seam lines.
  • the suit 1 comprises left and right leg portions 2, and each of said portions 2 is made of a single fabric panel 3 ( Fig. 3 ).
  • the suit 1 in the example, has two braces 14 but the invention can be implemented in other forms of a cycling suit comprising a trousers (leg) portion.
  • a panel 3, for the formation of a leg portion 2 comprises basically: two curvilinear opposite sides 5, 6; a slightly curvilinear base 17 and an upper boundary including a U-shaped cut 15, and an arc-shaped cut 16.
  • An edge between said cuts 15 and 16 includes a first rectilinear side 19 and a second rectilinear side 20.
  • the opposite sides 5, 6 more in detail follow substantially sinusoidal lines, and are complementary to each other when the panel 3 is folded bringing the side 5 in contact with the side 6.
  • a leg portion 2 is shown in Fig. 4 : the panel 3 is folded around a median axis 18, which is substantially perpendicular to the base 17, until the opposite sides 5 and 6 are in contact; then they are joined together with a seam 4.
  • Said seam 4 is located behind the thigh of the suit 1, as seen in Fig. 2 .
  • the sides 5, 6 can be sewn or attached with another technique such as gluing or thermal welding, to form said seam 4.
  • the preferred shape of said seam 4 is illustrated in the figures.
  • the seam 4 has a sinusoidal part 7 consisting of a first wave 8 and a second wave 9. Said sinusoidal part 7 is located in the upper leg portion denoted by the reference 10. Then, in a preferred embodiment, the seam 4 includes a substantially straight part 11, ending at the rim 12 of the leg portion 2 of the suit. It can also be seen that the two seams 4 are specular with reference a median line 13 of the suit 1.
  • Fig. 4 also shows that, when the panel 3 is folded, the U-shaped cut 15 forms the inner side of the crotch area, and the side 19 forms the fixation region for the braces 14.
