Description

The invention relates to an outer garment with a trunk part with a waist area, a hip belt and a number of padding elements and its use for transporting payloads.

document U.S. 5,351,340 discloses an outer garment according to the preamble of claim 1.

Outerwear items such as jackets, coats, waistcoats and the like are common pieces of outerwear in everyday life. They cover the upper body with a torso part and, if necessary, the arms with sleeves. Outerwear often opens at the front from the neck down, the opening making it easier to put on and hanging open or fastened with various means such as buttons, hooks, zippers or ribbons. The outer garment often not only fulfills a warming function or a general protective function against the weather, but depending on the further design it also serves as a warning, camouflage and/or representation as well as the transport of smaller objects, for example in pockets.

However, if it is necessary to transport more, carrier bags and backpacks are usually used. These usually include two shoulder straps with which the weight to be transported is strapped to the back. In a backpack, the goods to be transported are usually stored in layers, so that objects in the middle, for example, are difficult to reach. A backpack also shifts the wearer's center of gravity backwards, forcing the wearer into an atypical, mostly non-ergonomic posture. In addition, for example when used in hard-to-reach places, it is expedient to distribute loads as close and flat as possible to the body so that the user's freedom of action is restricted as little as possible in such bottlenecks.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to specify an alternative piece of outer clothing which distributes the weight to be transported in a favorable and comfortable manner.

This object is achieved by an item of outer clothing according to patent claim 1 and its use according to patent claim 11 .

The aforementioned outer garment has a body part with a waist area, a hip belt and a number of air-permeable padding elements. The padding elements in the waist area are connected to the torso part via the hip belt and comprise a spacer fabric. An item of outer clothing is understood here to mean outer clothing essentially for an upper body of a user who wears the item of outer clothing during operation. The outer garment can also reach down to the legs in the manner of a coat. In any event, in use, the torso portion covers a chest, abdomen, back and pelvis area of the user. It thus encloses a central portion of the user's body, excluding the head, neck and limbs. In the version as a mere torso part, the outer garment is referred to as a vest. However, it preferably also has arm parts and therefore has the shape of a conventional jacket. Additionally, it may also include an optional hood to cover the head.

The waist area denotes an area of approximately ±5 cm around the waist, ie a strip around the narrowest point between a hip and chest area of the body part. The waist area is therefore located slightly above the hip area, ie viewed from the hip it is arranged at a certain distance in the direction of the chest area. In the waist area, the padding elements are connected to the inside of the torso section via the hip belt. The padding elements are therefore preferably not directly connected to the torso part, but are movable to a certain extent in relation thereto. On the other hand, they are connected directly to the hip belt, which in turn is connected to the torso section. The hip belt is a suitably strong and wide band for holding or carrying loads. It is preferably arranged inside the outer garment. Particularly preferably, it is only arranged inside the item of outer clothing and therefore does not extend outwards from it, as a result of which the weight of the loads can advantageously be transferred to the user's body close to the user's body. In addition, snagging with resources that are usually worn over the jacket is avoided. The hip belt can easily be closed with a knot, but preferably with a buckle. In a closed position, it keeps the padding elements on the user's body above the hips. This means that it supports the padding elements from the waist area down on the hips and thus distributes the load of the jacket all the way around this area. During operation, loads acting on the outer garment are thus applied via the hip belt and the padding in the waist area of the user and are transmitted downwards to his hips. The loads are preferably not exclusively on the back of the person, as is usual with backpacks User, but are in contrast distributed around the hull as evenly as possible. In this way, the effective weight of the load to be transported can advantageously be positioned close to the center of the body or the center of gravity of the user's body. In addition, according to the invention, the loads can be arranged flat and at the same time modularly on the user's body, so that his freedom of action is kept appropriately large.

The number of padding elements is chosen so that, with an appropriate configuration, they suitably cover the body regions of a user that are to be padded. They each include at least one spacer fabric. These are initially mostly flexible textile, essentially flat structures, i. H. they are at least slightly flexible and their main structural elements are textile fibres, for example made of polyester or polyamide. However, they have a relatively large thickness compared to their length and width, especially in comparison to other materials, so that they represent a spatial, air-permeable textile mesh fabric. The volume of the spacer fabric can thereby be compressed. This makes it possible to absorb shocks and avoid pressure points. At the same time, the user can perspire largely unhindered due to the advantageously high porosity of the material of the padding elements, so that the body's own cooling is ensured and excess moisture can escape. The upholstery elements are therefore highly breathable.

A piece of outerwear according to the invention is therefore, as mentioned at the outset, used to transport payloads. As already described, the outer garment according to the invention is particularly suitable for transporting loads close to the body. On the one hand, this ensures ergonomic weight distribution and, on the other hand, it enables payload transport even in cramped conditions.

Further, particularly advantageous refinements and developments of the invention result from the dependent claims and the following description, whereby the independent claims of one claim category can also be developed analogously to the dependent claims of another claim category and, in particular, individual features of different exemplary embodiments can also be combined to form new exemplary embodiments can.

In a preferred embodiment, the item of outer clothing according to the invention has one, preferably exactly one, longitudinally circumferential padding element. The continuous and large-area padding element extends in one piece, preferably around at least 1/3 of the body circumference of a user, particularly preferably it extends essentially over the entire hip circumference of a user. The padding element is therefore completely circumferential in the waist area of the jacket. This results in a largely fixed shape, so that it is usually no longer necessary to position the cushion element. The padding element is particularly preferably designed in the shape of a flat cigar, ie like a flattened cigar, with one flat side lying against the user's body during operation. That is, it tapers from a central area to two rounded ends and is thus essentially in the shape of an elongated oval. This ergonomic shape offers three advantages: firstly, sharp edges are avoided, where friction and thus material wear would be particularly high. Secondly, a restriction of the user's freedom of movement is kept as low as possible by only arranging the narrower ends of the padding element in two side areas and only enclosing the stomach area by the belt, so that the user can continue to bend forward without any problems. Third, the wider central area of the padding element is located in the back area of the user, which in this way has a supportive effect with heavier loads.

In another preferred embodiment, the outer garment according to the invention has at least two padding elements, particularly preferably at least three padding elements. These can, e.g. B. by moving, variably positioned on the hip belt and thus adapted to the needs of the user. In this case, one padding element is preferably arranged in the back area and one padding element in each case in the lateral waist area or on the hips of the user. In contrast to the one-piece form, the same upholstery elements of this embodiment can also be used to a certain extent for different clothing sizes, which advantageously reduces the manufacturing effort.

The cushioning elements are preferably of essentially trapezoidal configuration, in particular when a plurality of cushioning elements are used. Accordingly, they have two parallel side edges which are connected by two side edges which are inclined thereto. Compared to an ideal trapezoid, however, the resulting corners are preferably ergonomically rounded. The longer of the parallel side edges is preferably arranged at the top, ie pointing towards the chest area, and the shorter of the parallel side edges is arranged at the bottom, ie pointing away from the chest area. This results in down, ie in the area that is compressed when the user bends his upper body, advantageously a larger range of motion.

In a preferred exemplary embodiment of the outer garment according to the invention, the spacer knitted fabric comprises at least two knitted fabric layers lying parallel next to one another. Parallel means that two flat sides of the knitted fabric layers face each other, so that two knitted fabric layers lying one on top of the other are arranged between the user's body and the jacket. The knitted fabric layers do not have to be directly adjacent to one another, but can optionally be separated by intermediate layers. For manufacturing reasons, the knitted fabrics described are produced in a single thickness of about 8 mm. In order to obtain a thicker cushion with better cushioning properties, two layers of the knitted fabric are joined together as parallel layers, for example by means of a stitched seam. This results in a pad with a double thickness of about 16 mm.

The padding elements preferably each have at least one padding element loop and a number of belt loops are arranged on the inside of the torso part in the waist area. The hip belt is guided both through the padded element loops and through the belt loops. In this case, loops are to be understood as meaning strips, preferably textile strips, which are connected at both ends to the respective associated component. The upholstery elements are indirectly coupled to the torso section via the double-looped connection. They can be moved horizontally, i. H. movable in the direction of the hip belt on which they are threaded. In the vertical direction, ie in the direction from the hip area to the chest area, they have relatively little play compared to the horizontal direction when the hip belt is tight. During operation, the padding elements are pressed against the user's body with the aid of the hip belt and held in this position. In addition, there is a form-fitting interaction between the enclosed circumference of the user, which increases towards the hips, and the inner diameter of the closed hip belt or the padding elements arranged even further inwards.

Further advantages of this construction arise synergistically when it is combined with the above-described exemplary embodiments with spacer fabrics; however, it can also be used to advantage without the spacer fabric and thus represents an independent idea.

The padding elements preferably have a breathable mesh fabric layer at least on the inside, that is to say on the side facing towards the body of a user. The mesh fabric layer is preferably a textile fabric with a fine hole structure. On the outside, that is to say on the side facing away from the body of a user, the cushioning elements preferably have a material layer on which at least one cushioning element loop, preferably two cushioning element loops, is formed. The spacer fabric is particularly preferably enclosed by the mesh fabric layer and the fabric layer as the outer shell.

In an advantageous exemplary embodiment of an item of outer clothing according to the invention, load loops are arranged, preferably on the outside, in the hip area of the torso part, which adjoins the waist area at the bottom. Most preferably, the load loops are positioned from the waist down, starting at the waist. While the torso part of the outer garment is held on the inside with the aid of the inventive arrangement of padding elements and hip belt in the waist area or on the hips of the user, loads to be transported can be fastened on the outside with the aid of the load loops. The attachment can be done for example by means of a so-called MOLLE system (MOdular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment). With the MOLLE system, modular pockets have attachment loops that are hooked into the load loop of the outer garment via a connecting loop. The connecting loop is arranged transversely, preferably substantially perpendicularly, both to the load loop and to the receiving loop of the bag. The weight is thus favorably transferred directly to the user's body in the area in which it acts via the outer garment according to the invention. The loads are preferably at least partially distributed around the body circumference, close to the vertical center of the body and evenly on the sides of the user, so that the load is advantageously balanced in relation to the body's center of gravity.

An item of outer clothing according to the invention is preferably in the form of a jacket, in particular in the form of a combat jacket or combat jacket. The jacket is therefore preferably designed for emergency services such as police officers, firefighters, special forces or soldiers. Because especially in rescue, security and/or combat operations, equipment is required that is directly and quickly accessible, which therefore has to be transported close to the body. At the same time, the greatest possible freedom of movement is required, which is offered by the jacket according to the invention.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the attached figures using exemplary embodiments. The same components are provided with identical reference numbers in the various figures. In the following, relative directions such as up, down, left, right refer to the view of a user who is wearing the item of outer clothing 1 . The figures are generally not to scale. Show it:

figure 1 and figure 2 show different views of the same embodiment of an article of outer clothing 1 according to the invention and are therefore described together below. The outer garment 1 is in the form of a jacket 1 here. It has a typical jacket shape with a body part 2 and two sleeves 30, which are arranged in a T-shape in an upper area of the body part and connected to it. The torso part 2 comprises a back part and two front parts. The back part is connected to a front part part in two lateral areas, in which the sleeves 30 are also arranged. A collar 31 is arranged at the top of the torso part 2 , and at the bottom it is closed off by a circumferential and annular hem 26 . The circumferential collar 31 is folded here, but it can also be set up. "Circulating" means here in a direction that is essentially azimuthal to a longitudinal axis of the user.

From the collar 31 to the bottom hem 26, the jacket has a zipper 27, 28 in the middle on two sides of the front parts that point towards one another. As a result, the jacket 1 can be opened and closed at the front. In addition, the jacket 1 has a button 29 adjacent to the zip fastener 27, 28, which as a means of closure can positively engage in a buttonhole (not shown here) arranged on the opposite front side.

Above the hem 26, the torso part 2 has a hip area 12 running around the front parts and the back part. Four rows of load loops 13 are arranged on the outside in each of its lateral areas. The number of rows with load loops 13 is not fixed at four; Within the scope of the invention, more or fewer rows of load loops can just as easily be formed. A row of load loops 13 is each formed by a stable strap that is sewn to the torso part 2 at certain, preferably equidistant, ie uniform intervals, so that the load loops 13 are formed from essentially U-shaped strap sections. A pocket 33 is arranged on the back part in the hip area 12 and connected to it by seams.

A waist area 3 adjoins the hip area 12 at the top. The waist area 3 characterizes a peripheral area of the torso part 2, which during operation is arranged adjacent to a circumference of the user with the smallest width between the hip area and the chest area. The area specifications such as waist area 3 and hip area 12 are relative. That is, a jacket 1 intended for a user is adapted to the dimensions of the user; The jacket 1 is therefore particularly tailored in terms of length and width to a custom-made size or clothing size that suits the user.

The waist area 3 is reinforced on the inside by means of a textile strip sewn on all around. Four belt loops 11 extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the user are sewn to it at regular intervals. A stable, ribbon-like hip belt 4 is guided through the belt loops 11, ie only inside the jacket 1, ie threaded into them. The hip belt 4 has a buckle end 21 and a buckle end 22 . The hip belt 4 is sewn onto itself at the buckle end 23 so that a loop is formed. A buckle 23 made of plastic is arranged in the loop. At the breech end 22 is a hook and loop fastener 24, 25 formed by the end first a Velcro hook tape 24 and then a Velcro loop tape 25 is arranged. In order to close the hip belt 4, preferably inside the jacket 1, the hook and loop fastener tape 24 is threaded through the buckle 23 and turned over by 180° onto the loop and hook and loop tape 25. The hook-and-loop fastener 24, 25 thus represents a reversible quick-release fastener for the hip belt 4, which is closed or opened by simply pressing on or pulling off.

Three substantially rectangular padding elements 5, 6, 7 with rounded corners are threaded onto the hip belt 4: a left padding element 5 on the user's left side, a back padding element 6 on the user's back and a right padding element on the user's right side. On the outside, padding element loops 10 extend over a relatively wide circumferential section of the respective padding element 5, 6, 7 (see figure 3 ). The padding elements 5 , 6 , 7 are each held on the hip belt 4 over a relatively large area along the circumference of the torso part 2 . The flat sides of the padding elements 5, 6, 7 are each arranged parallel to the adjacent inner side of the body part 2.

Accordingly, the padding elements 5, 6, 7 can be displaced in the horizontal direction between the belt loops 11 and can thus be individually positioned by the user. On the other hand, when the hip belt 4 is tight, they have little play in the vertical direction and are therefore in a relatively tight form fit with the torso part 2 by means of the hip belt 4 and belt loops 11. If the hip belt 4 is tightly closed around the waist of a user when the jacket 1 is worn during operation due to the larger hip circumference, there is a form fit downwards, which holds the padding elements 5, 6, 7 and the hip belt 4 vertically in position. The padding elements 5, 6 are also fixed in the horizontal direction by a force fit. The waist area 3 of the torso part 2 of the jacket 1 is thus also held in this position via the belt loops 11 .

During operation, loads to be transported are attached to the load loops 13 and/or deposited in the pocket 33. In the case of the jacket 1 according to the invention, the weight arranged in this way in the hip area 12 hangs in the waist area 2 on the hip belt 4 and thus weighs down on the user's hips exactly on top. Accordingly, it is positioned close to the user's center of gravity and the spine is largely relieved. If the hip belt 4 is not needed because z. B. no loads have to be transported, it can be easily removed from the jacket 1. If necessary, he can be the same easily thread it back into the belt loops 11. The outlined item of outer clothing can therefore advantageously be adapted in a modular manner to the needs of the situation.

The Figures 3 and 4 show to the figures 1 and 3 analogous views of a similar exemplary embodiment of an outer garment 1 according to the invention as a jacket 1, but with a single, one-piece and longitudinally encircling padding element 8. The padding element 8 is configured in the circumferential direction as an elongate rectangle. It has three sections which are designed as padding element loops 10 . The padding element loops 10 are evenly distributed over a circumferential length of the padding element 8 . Analogous to the figures 1 and 3 the hip belt 4 is threaded alternately through belt loops 11 and padding element loops 10. The one-piece padding element 8 is due to its elongated shape not only piecemeal - as in the figures 1 and 3 - At the user, but encloses him in the waist area 3 largely completely except for a small front section.

figure 5 shows, by way of example and roughly schematically, a top view of three alternative padding elements 5', 6', 7' for an outer garment 1 according to the invention. In comparison to the padding elements 5, 6, 7 from FIGS figures 1 and 3 the upholstery elements 5', 6', 7' shown here essentially have a trapezoidal shape with rounded corners. Two parallel sides of the trapezoid are arranged horizontally. The padding elements each have two padding element loops 10 which are arranged in a horizontal plane so that a hip belt 4 can be pulled through them in a circumferential direction for use according to the invention. The padding element loops 10 have a loop width S of 4 cm to 6 cm, preferably 5 cm, and a loop height of 4 cm to 5 cm, preferably 4.5 cm. The dimensions given here for the cushioning element loops 10 can also be applied analogously to that in the figures 1 and 2 illustrated embodiment are applied. The cushioning element loops 10 configured there over wide sections of the cushioning elements 5, 6, 7 can also be configured accordingly in the form of, for example, two, smaller, spaced individual loops.

The outer padding elements 5', 7', ie the left padding element 5' and the right padding element 7', are mirror-symmetrical to one another. They have a first upper length O1 along the hip belt 4 to be pulled through of 21 cm to 25 cm, preferably 23 cm, and a first width B1 across the hip belt of 11 cm to 15 cm, preferably 13 cm. A first lower length U1 is shorter than the first upper length O1. The padding element loops 10 of the outer padding elements 5', 7' are arranged at a distance of 11 cm to 15 cm, preferably 13 cm. The outer padding elements 5', 7' taper on the underside, initially rising flatly and then more steeply towards an outside. An inner side of the outer cushioning elements 5', 7` stands steeply on the horizontal plane compared to the outer side.

The back padding element 6' has a second upper length O2 along the hip belt 4 to be pulled through of 19 cm to 23 cm, preferably 21 cm, a second lower length U2 of 15 cm to 19 cm, preferably 17 cm and a second width B2 across the hip belt of 13 cm to 17 cm, preferably 15 cm. The back padding element 6' has the shape of a symmetrical trapezoid and, because of its greater second width B2, protrudes with its underside downwards beyond the undersides of the outer padding elements 5', 7'.

The layers of the knitted spacer fabric 9 of the padding elements 5', 6', 7' are each preferably continuously connected on their flat sides centrally with a horizontally running stitching 32, as shown in FIG figure 7 is explained in more detail. Due to the trapezoidal shape, there are larger interspaces between the padding elements 5', 6', 7' towards the bottom. These provide space for compression of the user's body, which is required for bending, for example, and thus allow the greatest possible freedom of movement.

In figure 6 an alternative one-piece padding element 8' is shown by way of example and in perspective. Starting from a relatively wide central area 34 with a third width B3 of 13 cm to 17 cm, preferably 15 cm, it tapers towards two oval ends 35, the oval ends 35 being round. This results overall in a cigar shape or the shape of an elongated oval for the padding element 8'. The hip belt 4 is threaded through the outside padding element loops 10 . The cushion element loops 10 do not extend here as in FIGS Figures 2 and 4 over relatively large sections along the hip belt 4, but have a loop width S of 4 cm to 6 cm, preferably 5 cm. In the central area 34, continuous stitching 32 connects individual layers of the spacer fabric 9 of the padding element 8', as shown in FIG figure 7 is explained in more detail. The dimensions given here for the cushioning element loops 10 can also be applied analogously to that in the Figures 3 and 4 illustrated embodiment are applied. The configured there over large sections of the padding element 8 circumferentially Upholstery element loops 10 can accordingly also be designed in the form of, for example, two, smaller, spaced individual loops.

In figure 7 an exemplary upholstery element 5, 6, 7, 5', 6', 7', 8, 8' according to the invention with a spacer fabric 9 is shown in a partial sectional representation. Starting on the flat side of the padding element 5, 6, 7, 5', 6', 7', 8, 8` that faces the user's body, four layers of woven or knitted fabric are arranged parallel to one another and adjacent to one another as follows: Mesh layer 40, boundary layer 45, first knitted layer 41, boundary layer 45, boundary layer 45, second knitted layer 42, boundary layer 45 and fabric layer 43. The outer layers, i.e. the mesh fabric layer 40 and the fabric layer 43, enclose the first knitted layer 41 as a kind of shell , the second knitted fabric layer 42 and the boundary layers 45. The spacer fabric 9 here therefore comprises the first knitted fabric layer 41 and the second knitted fabric layer 42, each of which has a boundary layer 45 on its flat sides pointing towards the user’s body or away from the user’s body are connected. Each knitted fabric layer 41, 42 therefore has boundary layers 45 on both sides. The mesh fabric layer 40 has a fine, breathable (air-permeable) hole structure and is sewn together with the fabric layer 43 in edge areas 44 . The mesh fabric layer 40 faces the user's body during operation, while the cushion element loops 10 for attachment to the hip belt are formed on the fabric layer 43 on the opposite, outward-facing side (not shown here). The fabric layer 43 is breathable and permeable to air. All layers 40, 41, 42, 43 are additionally fixed to one another by means of a quilting seam 32 arranged approximately in the middle. The boundary layers 45 are made breathable (air-permeable) in the form of relatively coarse nets. The first knitted layer 41 and the second knitted layer 42 are also breathable (air permeable). They are each framed on both sides by these nets. They form what appears at first glance to be a disorderly three-dimensional knitted network, which, however, spans a large volume due to the defined arrangement of the threads. They therefore (in the non-compressed state) each have a thickness of 0.6 cm to 1.0 cm, preferably 0.8 cm, so that the padding element 5, 6, 7, 5', 6', 7' , 8, 8' gives a total thickness of about 1.2 cm to 2.2 cm.

Finally, it is pointed out once again that the devices described in detail above are merely exemplary embodiments which can be modified in a wide variety of ways by a person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention. So the term "jacket"isn't as defining to understand a specific length of the garment, as well as coats, waistcoats or similar garments are included within the scope of the invention. Furthermore, the use of the indefinite article "a" or "an" does not exclude the possibility that the characteristics in question can also be present more than once. Likewise, the term "unit" does not rule out the component in question consisting of a plurality of interacting subcomponents, which may also be spatially distributed.
