Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Bekleidungsstück, insbesondere eine Jacke oder eine Hose, wobei es sich vorzugsweise um eine Motorradjacke oder eine Motorradhose handelt.The invention relates to a garment, in particular a jacket or trousers, which is preferably a motorcycle jacket or motorcycle pants.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Bekleidungsstücke mit einem mehrlagigen Aufbau bekannt mit einem außen liegenden Obermaterial (z. B. Leder oder Textil) und einer innenliegenden Membran (z. B. Gore-Tex®), die atmungsaktiv, winddicht und wasserdicht ist. Bei einer Benutzung eines solches Bekleidungsstücks im Regen sorgt die Membran für eine Wasserdichtigkeit des Bekleidungsstücks. Problematisch ist allerdings die Benutzung eines solchen Bekleidungsstückes bei warmen Außentemperaturen, da die Atmungsfähigkeit der Membran von dem Temperaturunterschied zwischen Innenseite und Außenseite abhängt und mit der Größe des Temperaturunterschiedes zunimmt. Bei hohen Außentemperaturen ist die Atmungsfähigkeit der Membran deshalb relativ gering, sodass der Träger des Bekleidungsstückes schwitzen kann, was unerwünscht ist.The prior art discloses garments having a multilayer construction with an outer upper (e.g., leather or textile) and an inner membrane (e.g., Gore-Tex®) that is breathable, windproof, and waterproof. When using such a garment in the rain, the membrane provides waterproofness of the garment. However, the problem is the use of such a garment in warm outdoor temperatures, since the breathability of the membrane depends on the temperature difference between the inside and outside and increases with the size of the temperature difference. At high outside temperatures, therefore, the breathability of the membrane is relatively low, allowing the wearer of the garment to perspire, which is undesirable.

Zur Lösung dieses Problems sind Bekleidungsstücke bekannt, bei denen die Membran wahlweise in das Bekleidungsstück eingesetzt oder entfernt werden kann. Bei einer Benutzung des Bekleidungsstücks im Regen wird die Membran dann in das Bekleidungsstück eingesetzt, wohingegen die Membran entfernt wird, wenn das Bekleidungsstück bei hohen Außentemperaturen und trockener Luft verwendet wird. Allerdings sind derartige Bekleidungsstücke mit einer entfernbaren Membran unpraktisch, da die Membran relativ aufwändig entfernt bzw. eingesetzt werden muss. Darüber hinaus muss die entfernte Membran dann in einer separaten Tasche an der Jacke oder in einem extra Gepäckstück mitgeführt werden.To solve this problem garments are known in which the membrane can optionally be inserted or removed in the garment. When using the garment in the rain, the membrane is then inserted into the garment, whereas the membrane is removed when the garment is used in high outdoor temperatures and dry air. However, such garments with a removable membrane are impractical because the membrane is relatively expensive removed or used must become. In addition, the removed membrane must then be carried in a separate pocket on the jacket or in an extra piece of luggage.

Aus US 2013/0097763 A1 ist ein Bekleidungsstück gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 bekannt. Allerdings ist die Atmungsaktivität hierbei noch unbefriedigend.Out US 2013/0097763 A1 a garment according to the preamble of claim 1 is known. However, the breathability is still unsatisfactory.

Zum allgemeinen technischen Hintergrund der Erfindung ist auch hinzuweisen auf AT 005 630 U1 . Diese Druckschrift offenbart ein Bekleidungsstück mit einem Obermaterial und einer kälte- und/oder wärmehemmenden Einlage, die an der Innenseite des Obermaterials angebracht ist. Allerdings dient die Einlage hierbei nur zur Wärmeisolation und kann die Atmungsaktivität deshalb nicht in der gewünschten Weise verbessern.The general technical background of the invention is also to be noted AT 005 630 U1 , This document discloses a garment with an upper and a cold and / or heat-resistant insert, which is attached to the inside of the upper. However, the insert serves only for thermal insulation and therefore can not improve the breathability in the desired manner.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein entsprechend verbessertes Bekleidungsstück zu schaffen. Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein erfindungsgemäßes Bekleidungsstück gemäß dem Hauptanspruch gelöst.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a correspondingly improved garment. This object is achieved by an inventive garment according to the main claim.

Die Erfindung umfasst die allgemeine technische Lehre, ein Bekleidungsstück mit einer atmungsaktiven, winddichten und wasserdichten Membran zu schaffen, wobei die Membran fest mit dem Bekleidungsstück verbunden ist, aber zwischen verschiedenen Stellungen verstellt werden kann, um bei Regen eine ausreichende Wasserdichtigkeit zu bieten und trotzdem bei warmen Außentemperaturen ohne Regen ein Schwitzen des Trägers zu vermeiden.The invention includes the general technical teaching to provide a garment with a breathable, windproof and waterproof membrane, wherein the membrane is firmly connected to the garment, but can be adjusted between different positions to provide sufficient water resistance in the rain and still at warm outside temperatures without rain to avoid perspiration of the wearer.

Das erfindungsgemäße Bekleidungsstück weist eine Kammer zur Aufnahme eines Körperteils des Trägers des Bekleidungsstückes auf, wobei es sich beispielsweise um das Bein oder den Oberkörper des Trägers handeln kann. Das erfindungsgemäße Kleidungsstück kann also beispielsweise eine Jacke oder Hose sein.The garment according to the invention has a chamber for receiving a body part of the wearer of the garment, which may be, for example, the leg or the torso of the wearer. The garment according to the invention So, for example, it can be a jacket or pants.

Darüber hinaus umfasst das erfindungsgemäße Bekleidungsstück ein Obermaterial, das die Kammer an ihrem Umfang außen einschließt. Beispielsweise kann es sich bei dem Obermaterial um Leder, Kunstleder oder ein Fasergewebe handeln, wobei das Obermaterial auch mehrere verschiedene Schichten aufweisen kann, die übereinander liegen und fest miteinander verbunden sind.In addition, the garment according to the invention comprises an upper material which encloses the chamber on the outside thereof. For example, the upper material may be leather, synthetic leather or a fibrous fabric, wherein the upper material may also have a plurality of different layers which lie one above the other and are firmly connected to one another.

Weiterhin enthält das erfindungsgemäße Bekleidungsstück eine Membran, die atmungsaktiv, winddicht und wasserdicht ist, wobei derartige Membranen aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt sind und deshalb nicht näher beschrieben werden müssen. Beispielsweise werden derartige Membranen unter der Marke Gore-Tex® kommerziell vertrieben.
Die Membran ist bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Bekleidungsstück an der Innenseite des Obermaterials angeordnet und mit einem festen Membranabschnitt innen an dem Oberteil befestigt, wobei sich der feste Membranabschnitt über einen Teil des Umfangs der Kammer erstreckt.
Das erfindungsgemäße Bekleidungsstück zeichnet sich nun dadurch aus, dass die Membran mit einem losen Membranabschnitt nicht an dem Obermaterial befestigt ist.Furthermore, the garment according to the invention contains a membrane which is breathable, windproof and waterproof, such membranes are known from the prior art and therefore need not be described in detail. For example, such membranes are sold commercially under the trademark Gore-Tex®.
The membrane in the garment of the present invention is disposed on the inside of the upper and secured to the top with a rigid membrane portion inside, the solid membrane portion extending over a portion of the circumference of the chamber.
The garment according to the invention is now characterized in that the membrane with a loose membrane portion is not attached to the upper material.

Der lose Membranabschnitt kann deshalb an die Innenseite des Obermaterials oder an die Innenseite des festen Membranabschnitts angelegt werden. Wenn der lose Membranabschnitt an die Innenseite des Obermaterials angelegt ist, so wird die Kammer über ihren gesamten Umfang von der Membran umgeben, was eine gute Wasserdichtigkeit ergibt. Wenn der lose Membranabschnitt dagegen an die Innenseite des festen Membranabschnitts angelegt wird, so liegen dort zwei Membranschichten übereinander, während an der gegenüberliegenden Seite kein Membranabschnitt vorhanden ist. Auf dieser Seite ohne einen Membranabschnitt ist das Bekleidungsstück deshalb relativ winddurchlässig, was ein Schwitzen des Trägers verhindert.
Der lose Membranabschnitt ist also zwischen einer Regenstellung und einer Lüftungsstellung verstellbar. In der Regenstellung liegt der lose Membranabschnitt an der Innenseite des Obermaterials an, sodass die Kammer über ihren gesamten Umfang von der Membran umgeben ist. In der Lüftungsstellung liegt der lose Membranabschnitt dagegen an der Innenseite des festen Membranabschnitts an, sodass die Kammer dann nur auf einem Teil ihres Umfangs von der Membran umgeben ist.The loose membrane portion may therefore be applied to the inside of the upper or to the inside of the solid membrane portion. When the loose membrane portion is applied to the inside of the upper, the chamber is surrounded by the membrane over its entire circumference, resulting in good waterproofness. In contrast, when the loose membrane portion is applied to the inside of the solid membrane portion, there are two membrane layers one above the other, while there is no membrane portion on the opposite side. On this side without a membrane section, the garment is therefore relatively wind-permeable, which prevents perspiration of the wearer.
The loose membrane section is thus adjustable between a rain position and a ventilation position. In the rain position, the loose membrane section lies on the inside of the upper, so that the chamber is surrounded by the membrane over its entire circumference. In the ventilation position, however, the loose membrane portion rests against the inside of the fixed membrane portion, so that the chamber is then surrounded by the membrane only over part of its circumference.

In einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist der feste Membranabschnitt an der Hinterseite des Bekleidungsstücks angeordnet. Bei einer Jacke bedeutet dies, dass sich der feste Membranabschnitt im Rückenbereich der Jacke befindet. Bei einer Hose bedeutet dies dagegen, dass der feste Membranabschnitt an der Beinhinterseite gelegen ist.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the fixed membrane portion is located at the rear of the garment. For a jacket, this means that the fixed membrane section is in the back of the jacket. For a pair of pants, on the other hand, this means that the fixed membrane section is located on the back of the leg.

Weiterhin ist zu erwähnen, dass das Bekleidungsstück bei seiner bestimmungsgemäßen Benutzung vorzugsweise einem Fahrtwind ausgesetzt ist. Bei einer Motorradjacke oder einer Motorradhose wird dieser Fahrtwind durch die Fahrgeschwindigkeit des Motorrades erzeugt. Der feste Membranabschnitt ist bei einem solchen Bekleidungsstück vorzugsweise an der Seite des Bekleidungsstücks angeordnet, die bei der bestimmungsgemäßen Benutzung dem Fahrtwind abgewandt ist. Dies ist vorteilhaft, weil der Fahrtwind dann in der Lüftungsstellung des Bekleidungsstücks in das Bekleidungsstück eindringen kann, wodurch ein Schwitzen des Fahrers verhindert wird.Furthermore, it should be mentioned that the garment is preferably exposed to a relative wind during its intended use. In a motorcycle jacket or a motorcycle pants, this wind is generated by the driving speed of the motorcycle. The fixed membrane portion is preferably arranged in such a garment on the side of the garment, which faces away from the wind during normal use. This is advantageous because the wind can then penetrate into the garment in the ventilation position of the garment, whereby a sweating of the driver is prevented.

Es wurde bereits vorstehend erwähnt, dass in der Lüftungsstellung der lose Membranabschnitt über dem festen Membranabschnitt liegt, sodass zwei Membranschichten übereinander liegen, wodurch die Atmungsaktivität der Membran herabgesetzt wird. Diese störende Wirkung der Doppellagigkeit der Membran an dieser Stelle wird dadurch kompensiert, dass der lose Membranabschnitt an der dem festen Membranabschnitt abgewandten Seite flächig mit einem luftdurchlässigen Abstandshalter (z.B. dreidimensionales Gewebe) beschichtet ist. Zwischen dem Körper des Trägers und dem losen Membranabschnitt befindet sich dann der luftdurchlässige Abstandshalter (z.B. dreidimensionales Gewebe), sodass ein Schwitzen des Trägers trotz der Doppellagigkeit der Membran an dieser Stelle verhindert wird.It has already been mentioned above that, in the ventilation position, the loose membrane section lies above the solid membrane section, so that two membrane layers lie above one another, whereby the membrane's respiratory activity is reduced. This disturbing effect of the double-layered membrane at this point is compensated for by the fact that the loose membrane section on the side remote from the fixed membrane section has a planar surface with an air-permeable spacer (For example, three-dimensional tissue) is coated. Between the body of the wearer and the loose membrane portion is then the air-permeable spacer (eg, three-dimensional tissue), so that sweating of the wearer is prevented despite the Doppellagigkeit the membrane at this point.

Der luftdurchlässige Abstandshalter ermöglicht also in der Lüftungsstellung des losen Membranabschnitts eine Luftströmung zwischen dem Körperteil in der Kammer einerseits und dem losen Membranabschnitt andererseits.The air-permeable spacer thus allows in the ventilation position of the loose membrane portion an air flow between the body part in the chamber on the one hand and the loose membrane portion on the other.

Weiterhin ist zu erwähnen, dass sich der lose Membranabschnitt und der feste Membranabschnitt vorzugsweise jeweils über 30-70 %, 40-60 % oder im Wesentlichen 50 % des Umfangs der Kammer erstrecken.It should also be noted that the loose membrane portion and the solid membrane portion preferably each extend over 30-70%, 40-60%, or substantially 50% of the circumference of the chamber.

Ferner ist zu bemerken, dass die Membran mit dem losen Membranabschnitt und dem festen Membranabschnitt einstückig ausgebildet sein kann. Es besteht jedoch alternativ auch die Möglichkeit, dass der lose Membranabschnitt und der feste Membranabschnitt getrennte Teile sind, die dann erst miteinander verbunden werden.It should also be noted that the membrane may be formed integrally with the loose membrane portion and the solid membrane portion. However, there is also the alternative possibility that the loose membrane portion and the fixed membrane portion are separate parts, which are then joined together.

Es wurde bereits vorstehend kurz erwähnt, dass es sich bei der Membran um eine handelsübliche Membran handeln kann, wie beispielsweise eine Gore-Tex®-Membran. Zur Erreichung der ausreichenden Atmungsaktivität weist die Membran eine Vielzahl von Poren mit einer großen Porendichte auf, wobei die Porendichte vorzugsweise mindestens 100.000/cm2, 200.000/cm2, 500.000/cm2 oder 1.000.000/cm2 beträgt. Die Größe der einzelnen Poren ist vorzugsweise wesentlicher kleiner als ein Wassertropfen und wesentlich großer als ein Wassermolekül.It has already been briefly mentioned above that the membrane may be a commercial membrane, such as a Gore-Tex® membrane. To achieve sufficient breathability, the membrane has a plurality of pores with a large pore density, wherein the pore density is preferably at least 100,000 / cm 2 , 200,000 / cm 2 , 500,000 / cm 2 or 1,000,000 / cm 2 . The size of the individual pores is preferably substantially smaller than a drop of water and substantially larger than a water molecule.

Schließlich ist noch zu erwähnen, dass es sich bei dem Bekleidungsstück vorzugsweise um eine Motorradjacke oder eine Motorradhose handelt. Die Erfindung ist jedoch hinsichtlich des Typs des Bekleidungsstückes nicht auf diese Beispiele beschränkt, sondern auch bei anderen Typen von Bekleidungsstücken realisierbar.Finally, it should be mentioned that the garment is preferably a motorcycle jacket or motorcycle pants. However, the invention is not limited to these examples in terms of the type of garment, but also in other types of garments realizable.

Die Figuren 1A und 1B zeigen ein erfindungsgemäßes Ausführungsbeispiel einer Motoradhose 1, wobei die beiden Zeichnungen jeweils eine Querschnittsdarstellung eines Hosenbeins im Bereich eines Beins 2 zeigen.The Figures 1A and 1B show an inventive embodiment of a motorbike pants 1, wherein the two drawings each show a cross-sectional view of a pant leg in the region of a leg 2.

Figur 1A zeigt hierbei eine sogenannte Regenstellung, die eine optimale Wasserdichtigkeit bietet und bei Fahrten im Regen verwendet wird. Figure 1A shows here a so-called rain position, which provides optimum water resistance and is used when driving in the rain.

Figur 1B zeigt dagegen eine sogenannte Lüftungsstellung, die eine optimale Belüftung bei verringerter Wasserdichtigkeit bietet und beispielsweise bei Fahrten im Sommer bei hohen Außentemperaturen ohne Regen verwendet wird. FIG. 1B shows, however, a so-called ventilation position, which provides optimal ventilation with reduced water resistance and is used, for example, during rides in summer at high outside temperatures without rain.

Die Motoradhose 1 weist zunächst ein Obermaterial 3 auf, das in herkömmlicher Weise ausgebildet sein und beispielsweise aus Leder, Fasergewebe oder mehreren verschiedenen Schichten aus verschiedenen Materialien bestehen kann.The motorbike pants 1 initially has an upper 3, which may be formed in a conventional manner and may consist for example of leather, fiber fabric or several different layers of different materials.

Das Obermaterial 3 schließt eine Kammer 4 ein, die das Bein 2 aufnimmt, was an sich aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt ist und deshalb nicht näher beschrieben werden muss.The upper 3 includes a chamber 4, which receives the leg 2, which is known per se from the prior art and therefore need not be described in detail.

An der Innenseite des Obermaterials 3 ist eine Membran angebracht, die aus einem festen Membranabschnitt 5 und einem losen Membranabschnitt 6 besteht.On the inside of the upper 3, a membrane is attached, which consists of a solid membrane portion 5 and a loose membrane portion 6.

Der feste Membranabschnitt 5 ist mittels einer Kleberschicht 7 an der Innenseite des Obermaterials 3 befestigt und zwar an einer Hinterseite 8 der Motoradhose 1. Der feste Membranabschnitt 5 erstreckt sich hierbei ungefähr über die Hälfte des Umfangs der Kammer 4.The fixed membrane portion 5 is fixed by means of an adhesive layer 7 on the inside of the upper 3 and that on a rear side 8 of the motor pants 1. The solid membrane portion 5 extends approximately over half of the circumference of the chamber. 4

Alternativ zu der Kleberschicht 7 besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass sich zwischen dem festen Membranabschnitt 5 und der Innenseite des Obermaterials 3 eine Luftschicht befindet. Der feste Membranabschnitt 5 kann also auch in anderer Weise an dem Obermaterial 3 befestigt sein, beispielsweise durch punktuelle Vernähungen.As an alternative to the adhesive layer 7, there is also the possibility that an air layer is located between the fixed membrane section 5 and the inside of the upper material 3. The fixed membrane section 5 can therefore also be fastened in a different manner to the upper 3, for example by selective stitching.

Der lose Membranabschnitt 6 ist einstückig mit dem festen Membranabschnitt 5 verbunden und befindet sich an einer Vorderseite 9 der Motoradhose 1. Hierbei ist es wichtig, dass der lose Membranabschnitt 6 nicht mit dem Obermaterial 3 verbunden ist. Der lose Membranabschnitt 6 kann deshalb verschiedene Stellungen einnehmen, nämlich zum einen die in Figur 1A dargestellte Regenstellung und die in Figur 1B dargestellte Lüftungsstellung.The loose membrane portion 6 is integrally connected to the fixed membrane portion 5 and located at a front side It is important that the loose membrane portion 6 is not connected to the upper 3. The loose membrane portion 6 can therefore occupy different positions, namely on the one hand, the rain position shown in Figure 1A and in FIG. 1B illustrated ventilation position.

In der in Figur 1A dargestellten Regenstellung ist der lose Membranabschnitt 6 nach vorne geklappt und liegt dann an der Innenseite des Obermaterials 3 an der Vorderseite 9 der Motoradhose 1 an, so dass die Kammer 4 über ihren gesamten Umfang von dem festen Membranabschnitt 5 bzw. von dem losen Membranabschnitt 6 umgeben ist, was eine optimale Wasserdichtigkeit und Regenfestigkeit bewirkt.In the in Figure 1A shown rain position, the loose membrane portion 6 is folded forward and then rests against the inside of the upper 3 on the front 9 of the motorbike pants 1, so that the chamber 4 is surrounded over its entire circumference by the fixed membrane portion 5 and the loose membrane portion 6 is what gives optimal waterproofness and rainproofness.

In der in Figur 1B dargestellten Lüftungsstellung ist der lose Membranabschnitt 6 dagegen nach hinten auf die Innenseite des festen Membranabschnitts 5 geklappt. An der Vorderseite 9 der Motoradhose 1 befindet sich dann überhaupt keine Membran, so dass der Fahrtwind dort relativ leicht durch das relativ winddurchlässige Obermaterial 3 in die Kammer 4 eindringen kann, um dort das Bein so zu belüften.In the in FIG. 1B shown ventilation position of the loose membrane portion 6, however, folded backwards on the inside of the fixed diaphragm portion 5. At the front 9 of the motorbike pants 1 is then no membrane at all, so that the relative wind there can penetrate relatively easily through the relatively wind-permeable upper material 3 in the chamber 4, there to ventilate the leg so.

Allerdings befinden sich an der Hinterseite des Beins 2 dann zwei Membranschichten des losen Membranabschnitts 6 und des festen Membranabschnitts 5, so dass die Atmungsaktivität dort verringert ist. Zur Vermeidung einer Schweißbildung an der Hinterseite des Beins 2 ist der lose Membranabschnitt 6 deshalb an seiner Vorderseite mit einem luftdurchlässigen Abstandshalter 10 beschichtet. Der luftdurchlässige Abstandshalter 10 ermöglicht an der Hinterseite des Beins 2 eine Luftströmung zwischen dem Bein 2 und der Vorderseite des nach hinten geklappten losen Membranabschnitts 6.However, two membrane layers of the loose membrane section 6 and of the solid membrane section 5 are then located on the rear side of the leg 2, so that the respiratory activity is reduced there. To avoid sweat formation on the rear side of the leg 2, the loose membrane section 6 is therefore coated on its front side with an air-permeable spacer 10. The air-permeable spacer 10 allows at the rear of the leg 2 an air flow between the leg 2 and the front of the folded back loose membrane portion. 6

Das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß den Figuren 2A und 2B stimmt weitgehend mit dem vorstehend beschriebenen und in den Figuren 1A und 1B dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen überein, sodass zur Vermeidung von Wiederholungen auf die vorstehende Beschreibung verwiesen wird, wobei entsprechende Einzelheiten mit denselben Bezugszeichen mit einem Apostroph gekennzeichnet sind.
Eine Besonderheit dieses Ausführungsbeispiels besteht darin, dass es sich bei dem Bekleidungsstück um eine Motorradjacke 1' handelt.
Ansonsten stimmt dieses Ausführungsbeispiel mit dem vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel überein.
Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die vorstehend beschriebenen bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt. Vielmehr ist eine Vielzahl von Varianten und Abwandlungen möglich, die ebenfalls von dem Erfindungsgedanken Gebrauch machen und deshalb in den Schutzbereich fallen, der in den beiliegenden Ansprüchen definiert wird.The embodiment according to the FIGS. 2A and 2B is largely consistent with that described above and in the Figures 1A and 1B illustrated embodiments, so reference is made to avoid repetition of the above description, with corresponding details with the same reference numerals are marked with an apostrophe.
A peculiarity of this embodiment is that the garment is a motorcycle jacket 1 '.
Otherwise, this embodiment is consistent with the embodiment described above.
The invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments described above. Rather, a variety of variants and modifications are possible, which also make use of the inventive concept and therefore fall within the scope defined in the appended claims.
