Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fitness device in the form of a garment according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- Such fitness devices are known under various titles, for example from US 726,791 (Dl), US 4,230,114 (D2) and WO 01/52787 (D3).
- the commonality of the prior art and the present invention lies in the fact that by applying a slight external negative pressure to certain parts of the human body, the blood circulation, in particular of the subcutaneous fatty tissue, which is in itself poorly supplied with blood, can be increased. If at the same time the metabolism is increased through physical activity, fatty tissue can be increasingly involved in the metabolism and thus reduced due to the better blood circulation.
- a negative pressure chamber is equipped with a stationary training device, such as a bicycle ergometer or treadmill, and the person interested in such training under negative pressure conditions goes into this negative pressure chamber, which usually goes up to the body that can absorb hips. There is an elastic and airtight seal on the body above the hips.
- a stationary training device such as a bicycle ergometer or treadmill
- Such training devices are known, for example, from US Pat. No. 5,133,339 and EP 0 906 774.
- such fixed systems are expensive and are associated with the fact that the installation sites of such systems have to be found.
- the type of sporting, or more generally: physical, activity is extremely limited.
- these spacers act as stiffening ribs, which hinder sporty, or generally: physical, movement. Furthermore, despite these known spacers, it is not excluded that the outer skin still lies locally on the body surface and thus the goal of such a piece of clothing, namely to improve the blood supply to the subcutaneous fatty tissue, is not achieved everywhere.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a spacer which overcomes the disadvantages mentioned and makes it possible to simplify the entire structure of the garment and the associated pump device, combined with a substantial reduction in costs.
- the solution to the problem is given in claim 1 with regard to the essential features, in the further claims with regard to further advantageous developments.
- FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal section through a special part of FIG. 1.
- Fig. 1 is a plan view of a garment according to the invention designed as shorts. This shows an Senhaut 1, which is made of an airtight and elastic material, such as polyurethane (PU). Under this outer skin 1 there is a spacer layer 2, which basically has the same cut as the outer skin 1.
- the spacer layer is made from a knitted spacer fabric. Spacer fabrics are known in textile technology a 'and consist, should they serve the intended purpose, usually made of monofilament threads. Spacer fabrics made of other textile fibers can of course also be used; good air permeability in the directions parallel to the outer skin 1 is decisive.
- a connector 3 for a vacuum hose 4 is attached, which leads to a portable battery-operated vacuum pump, which is preferably accommodated in a pocket 5 fastened to a belt 7.
- the vacuum pump mentioned is dimensioned such that it is able to generate and maintain a pressure difference to the external pressure of between 10 and 50 hPa at the expected leakage rate of end shelves 6.
- the strap 7 allows the pump to be carried over the shoulder or otherwise attached to the body in a suitable manner.
- the attachment of two or more connecting pieces 3 can of course also be indicated, connected with the corresponding number of vacuum hoses 4 or at most a single vacuum hose 4 with branches.
- FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the upper part of one side of the garment from FIG. 1.
- the individual parts are drawn somewhat apart from one another for the purpose of clarity.
- the outer skin 1 made of elastic plastic is wrapped inward, for example around the spacer layer 2, and lies directly against the body, which bears the reference number 8.
- a thin layer 9 of a suitable cream or gel can be applied between the part of the skin 1 and the body surface.
- Both the outer skin 1 and the spacer layer 2 are each cut and made up in the shape and size of the garment and can be washed separately. Since the connection of the two parts 1, 2 is now carried out by driving in the outer skin 1, no connection points need to be provided and separated again for cleaning.
- a suitable cut of the spacer layer 2 can ensure that the selection of the necessary assembly sizes remains small.
- 3 shows a longitudinal section through the garment in the region of the connector 3.
- a second layer 10 of spacer fabrics can be placed on the spacer layer 2 and connected to it.
- the connection piece 3 can be designed such that a hat-shaped part 11 passes through a preferably round opening in the outer skin 1, and a clamping disk 12 is pushed over the cylindrical part of the part 11 and against the edge of the round opening in the outer skin 1 presses the flat part of part 11.
- the vacuum hose 4 is then pushed over the cylindrical portion of the part 11 and fastened there.
- Other types of fastening are known per se and are common in connection technology.
- the presence of the spacer layer 2 gives the possibility and also easily perceivable to attach sensors for monitoring the body functions of the person wearing the garment.
- sensors can be provided, for example, for the skin temperature at various points, the conductivity of the skin, the pulse, the respiratory rate, the latter at most via the tension in the stomach region of the garment.
- sensors can be connected to a suitable data collector, which can also be accommodated in the pocket 7 and can be powered by the same battery as the vacuum pump according to the invention.
- the fitness device in the form of a piece of clothing can thus be expanded into a sports medical measuring and monitoring device.
- the trousers shown in FIG. 1 may be the most common embodiment of a garment according to the invention, but it is only of an exemplary nature.
- Ankle-length trousers, an upper part, which only exposes parts of the upper body - for example the upper arms - to a partial vacuum, indeed a piece of full-body clothing, are also according to the invention, always with the features of the airtight outer skin 1 and the spacer layer 2. It always includes that certain Parts of the body are excluded from the partial vacuum and are then only covered by a suitable air-permeable textile material.
