Definitions

  • the invention relates to a one-piece garment which has at least one closing device running around the sides. With this at least one lateral closing device, the wearer of the garment can open the seat region of the garment in such a way that said user can use the toilet without taking off the one-piece garment.
  • the invention relates in particular to a one-piece garment with two zip fasteners, which respectively run around the sides of the garment, and consequently allow opening of a seat region.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,163,182 describes a jumpsuit with a seat region that can be opened.
  • the jumpsuit has a separate seat part in the seat region.
  • the seat part has an elastic waistband and side edges. The side edges are joined to the jumpsuit by means of foldable intermediate pieces.
  • the seat part is fastened to the jumpsuit, for example, by means of buttons located at the ends of the waistband.
  • buttons are fastened in corresponding button holes in the jumpsuit.
  • the intermediate pieces are respectively folded to form a pocket. If the button fastening is undone, the seat part falls down loosely and can be pulled over the buttocks in the direction of the legs. In this case, the length of the intermediate pieces between the jumpsuit and the seat part determines the extent to which the seat region can be opened. This design is undesirable for closely fitting cycling wear, since the elastic waistband at the back, the lateral buttons and the foldable pockets are uncomfortable to wear.
  • the intermediate pieces must be made to large dimensions in order that the separate seat part can be pulled sufficiently over the buttocks.
  • WO 2009/021621 A1 describes a pair of one-piece cycling pants which have a zip fastener in the crotch region in order to make using the toilet easier.
  • the patent application provides measures that make the presence of a zip fastener in the crotch comfortable, it is nevertheless undesirable to provide materials and/or items that may cause friction at this location.
  • a zip fastener opening at the crotch cannot be made large enough.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a one-piece garment which allows the seat region to the opened easily and to a sufficient extent in order to use a toilet.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a one-piece garment, such as a pair of cycling bib pants, which consists of an elastic material and allows the seat region to be opened easily and to a sufficient extent in order to use a toilet.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a one-piece garment, such as a pair of one-piece cycling bib pants, which can open the seat region easily and to a sufficient extent in order to use a toilet without further garments that are over the bib pants being taken off.
  • a one-piece garment for covering upper and lower body parts of a wearer, having a front part and a back part with a seat region.
  • the garment has a right-hand garment side and a left-hand garment side and a waist region.
  • the garment also has at least one closing device with an end part and a beginning part, the at least one closing device being arranged laterally along the right-hand garment side and the left-hand garment side in such a way that at least the end part is arranged in the front part of the garment in order to make it possible for the seat region to be opened.
  • the front part of the garment is understood as meaning the part that covers the body downward from the shoulder and neckline region of the wearer.
  • the back part of the garment is understood as meaning the part that covers the back of the wearer and body parts of the wearer downward therefrom.
  • the seat region is in this case part of the back part and refers to the part of the garment that covers the buttocks or the seat.
  • the upper part and the lower part of the garment the upper part covering the body above the waist and the lower part covering the body below the waist.
  • the position of the at least one closing device running laterally along the right-hand and left-hand garment sides makes it possible that the garment can be opened in the back part.
  • the seat region is separated from the upper back part and the buttocks are exposed. It is advantageous in this respect that the upper part of the garment does not slip and that garments over it do not have to be taken off.
  • the arrangement of the end part of the at least one closing device in the front part has the advantage that, when the closing device is opened, separation of the one part garment into two separate parts cannot take place, since the end part does not allow unrestricted opening of the at least one closing device.
  • the closing device may be a zip fastener with teeth or with sealing lips, a button or stud fastening (press studs or button with button hole), a Velcro fastening or other known closing mechanisms for joining two parts.
  • the closing device is preferably continuous in the sense of uninterrupted, such as for example a zip fastener.
  • Known closing devices are not elastic.
  • the at least one closing device has an end part and a beginning part.
  • the beginning part is understood as meaning the part of the closing device from where the opening of the closing device begins (or where the closing operation ends).
  • the beginning part is the region where the zip fastener slider begins to open the zip fastener teeth or the sealing lips.
  • the beginning part is of an open design, i.e. the two zip fastener stringers are not joined at the ends thereof and are separate.
  • the beginning part is of a closed design, i.e. the two zip fastener stringers are brought together at the ends thereof to form an inseparable unit.
  • the zip fastener slider cannot slide out from the teeth or the sealing lips of a zip fastener stringer.
  • the end part is understood as meaning the part of the closing device where the opening of the closing device ends (or where the closing operation starts).
  • the end part is, in particular, a closed end part which limits the opening of the closing device and ensures that the garment remains in one piece.
  • the end part is configured as a closed end part in such a way that it cannot be separated by the zip fastener slider into two separate zip fastener stringers.
  • the two zip fastener stringers may be brought together in the end part to form an inseparable end thereof. Consequently, the pulling-open movement of the zip fastener slider, that is to say the opening of a zip fastener, is stopped at the closed end part.
  • the closing of the zip fastener teeth or the sealing lips begins at the end part as soon as is the zip fastener slider is moved in the direction of the beginning part.
  • the end part and the beginning part of the at least one closing device lie in the front part, so that, with the opening of the closing part from the beginning part toward the end part, the seat region opens laterally along the right-hand and left-hand garment sides and downward in the back part, and can consequently be pulled over the buttocks.
  • the upper part of the garment remains unchanged in its wearing position and other garments over it can be kept on.
  • the beginning part and the end part are of a closed design in order to ensure the one piece fitted form.
  • the closing device is preferably a zip fastener running around the waist region, the beginning part of the closed closing device having the zip fastener slider. The movement of the slider in the direction of the end part opens the teeth of the zip fastener.
  • the garment has at least one elastic component with a stretching zone.
  • the elastic component may comprise an elastic material.
  • the garment is produced at least partly or completely from an elastic material.
  • the elastic material makes it possible for the cycling pants to be worn in a closely fitting and snug manner. All materials, in particular textiles, that can be stretched and have corresponding recovery properties, so that the elastic material can resume its original state after stretching, come into consideration for use as the elastic material.
  • the textile itself may have elastic properties, such as for example as a result of corresponding knitting processes.
  • the textile may obtain elastic properties by the addition of elastane (a stretchable synthetic fiber).
  • elastane is mixed with the at least one further type of fiber of which the textile consists.
  • An elastic textile should in this case comprise at least 1% elastane.
  • the elastane content is between 3% and 5%, in further embodiments the elastane content may be over 20%, such as for example 22%.
  • a knitwear of 78% polyamide and 22% elastane is used as the elastic material.
  • the stretching zone is in the front part.
  • a stretching zone may also be arranged in the back part, or in the front part and the back part.
  • the stretching zone has the function of compensating for stresses between the elastic material component and the usually inelastic at least one closing device, such as the zip fastener, in such a way that wearing of the garment appropriately for a snug fit and without any creases continues to be possible.
  • the stretching zone is arranged between the end part and the beginning part of the closing device and is preferably in the form of an opening in the elastic material or in the form of a specifically stretchable material.

  • the closing devices may be opened respectively around the right-hand garment side and left-hand garment side, starting from the back part and proceeding in the direction of the front part.
  • the end parts in the front part stop the opening of the respective closing device.
  • the end parts prevent the opening of the closing devices from possibly separating the garment completely into an upper part and a lower part. Rather, only the seat region is opened in the back part and at the sides, and is consequently separated from the upper back part. In this way, the seat region can be pulled over the buttocks.
  • the upper back part remains in its original position.
  • the first and second closing devices are arranged in the waist region.
