Definitions

  • Patent US 2012/0005813A1 discloses a protective element for cycling shorts that is divided into three regions: a first front region, a second rear region and an intermediate region that connects the front region to the rear region.
  • the three regions have a surface having a three-dimensional structure.
  • Patent DE 20 2009 014105 U1 which illustrates a shock-absorbing cushion for surfaces of seats and the like, characterised by open-pore silicone or foam filling material and said cushion is provided with a valve for inflating and retaining air.
  • Patent EP 1695637A1 discloses a protection for cycling shorts consisting of a pair of padding elements made of yielding and impermeable bag-shaped material, each filled with air or gas, liquids or gel, at different pressures and provided with a filling valve.
  • Patent US 2005/0210570A1 discloses a protective element for cycling apparel consisting of an inner layer for contacting the cyclist, an outer layer for affixing to the garment, and a compressible, resilient middle layer arranged between the outer and inner layer. Further, the outer layer covers less than all of the inner layer.
  • the crotch liner illustrated in patent US 2005/0210570A1 consists of three layers that are different from one another in terms of material, dimensions and function and it does not perform the transpiration and ventilation functions.
  • Patent US 2003/0131399 which illustrates a protection for shorts consisting of different layers of material having a different conformation to create padding that makes the user's time on the saddle more comfortable.
  • Patent US 6 918140B1 which illustrates a multilayered clothing fabric formed by a soft suede fabric with a low friction coefficient, coupled with a knitted and hydrophobic foam fabric that is in turn coupled with a double side fabric (external layer), the upper side of which is hydrophilic and the lower side of which is hydrophobic.
  • a double side fabric exitternal layer
  • the US 5720047 patent illustrates a goalie glove which presents an additional impact-damping padding in the inside of the palm.
  • the additional impact-damping padding is composed by a three-dimensional fabric and it is formed from two flat layers of cover fabric spaced apart by a sandwiched zone of parallel erect fabric yarns extending perpendicular to the layers of the covers fabrics.
  • the glove comprises a liner layer in the gripping region and lining in internal surface of the mesh material, the liner layer comprising a breathable layer or a padding layer.
  • the present invention relates to a clothing accessory known as a "crotch liner", see Fig.1 front and Fig.2 behind, to be placed inside the shorts of the cyclist or for any other activity that comes into direct contact with the body in the perineal / ischiatic region with the object of avoiding pathologies and strains and any way limiting, also during long periods of activity, the discomfort caused by the saddle because of the weight and the pressure of the body on the saddle or on any resting plane.
  • a clothing accessory known as a "crotch liner”
  • Fig.1 front and Fig.2 behind to be placed inside the shorts of the cyclist or for any other activity that comes into direct contact with the body in the perineal / ischiatic region with the object of avoiding pathologies and strains and any way limiting, also during long periods of activity, the discomfort caused by the saddle because of the weight and the pressure of the body on the saddle or on any resting plane.
  • the object of the invention is also to maintain the part of the body that rests on the saddle dry, hygienic and ventilated at all times, in particular encouraging the flow of blood at the level of the perineal muscles; the air cushion of Fig.5 , is in fact arranged to promote physiologically the complete rest of the anatomical areas on the saddle, maintaining the blood supply constant avoiding inflammations, aches and pressure sores.
  • the crotch liner of the invention is moreover very light and exceptionally breathable because most of the surface is occupied by air between the three-dimensional structures of the fabrics, see Fig.4 and Fig.5 , is also very hygienic because the hydrophobic fibre does not retain humidity/sweat on which bacteria could proliferate, as occurs in traditional crotch liners containing polyurethane foam or other open-cell materials.
  • the three-dimensional fabrics consist of a lower multifilament fabric surface connected to a second upper fabric surface that is also formed of multifilaments by a monofilament that is tough and sufficiently stiff to keep said surfaces well spaced apart from one another, thus creating a space between the surfaces and forming a true air chamber.
  • the three-dimensional fabrics used have a particular property that is known as compression set and is measured in kPa (kiloPascal), this determines the thrust that connects and maintains spaced apart the two surfaces of the three-dimensional fabric and is generated by the diameter of the internal monofilament; the pressure set absorbs the pressure of the body and absorbs the vibrations and shocks coming from the frame of the bicycle.
  • Fig.5 discloses:
  • the structure inside the air cushion can be made with a greater or lesser number of three-dimensional fabrics, with three-dimensional fabrics having a thickness range from 0.5mm to 20mm, with a number of monofilaments varying from 700 to 50 per cm2 and with a compression set varying from 1 to 80kPa; with these parameters, an air cushion structure can always be obtained with a greater or lesser compression set and with greater or lesser permeability to the air but always within the scope of the invention.
  • the combination of the three three-dimensional fabrics assembled together in the order listed above creates, inside the crotch liner, an air cushion, see Fig.5 , and is insulating and mechanically comfortable; all the yarns that form the three three-dimensional fabrics are hydrophobic, 100% polyesters; so humidity does not collect and the weight increase is avoided that occurs in traditional crotch liners, further, bacterial proliferation and the formation of odours is avoided.
  • the invention made in the 3 layers as disclosed above permits perfect ergonomic adaptation to the human body and more precisely in the perineal /ischiatic region, avoiding undesired obligations and compressions.
  • the three fabrics are coupled together with thermoplastic points to enable maximum breathability and permeability to the air; not even the slightest amount of polyurethane foam is used, not even as an adhesive, the three fabrics are then heat-sealed and without the use of any stitching.
  • the special textile structure and compression set of the three-dimensional fabrics used, see Fig.4 and 5 , that form the air cushion enable a great quantity of air to be always present and active in the crotch liner, see Fig.1 front and Fig.2 rear, thus providing the cyclist with comfort in terms of lightness-insulation-breathability-freshness-antivibration and shock absorption.
  • the pressure of the body is distributed and unloaded on the saddle by the different compression sets of the three-dimensional fabrics, providing maximum comfort for the user.
  • the crotch liner is thus:
