Definitions

• the invention relates to a garment which at least partially covers the body of the wearer and comprises a back part.
• Clothing is used to protect humans, especially for protection against the weather. At the same time, clothing has the task of providing means that allow a reasonable body temperature of the person. This means, on the one hand, that the garment, with little physical activity, keeps the normal temperature of the body and thus prevents it from cooling down; In addition, during physical activity, air conditioning should be possible which prevents an increase in body temperature.
• the perceived body temperature is crucial for the performance of a person, since in the case of felt overheating or a perceived hypothermia, a significant reduction in performance can be determined.
• the temperature sensors of the body play a decisive role, which velvet body are distributed. These temperature sensors give people information about how hot or cold it is in certain places. This information is relayed by the sensors to the brain, which then initiates appropriate action, such as stimulation of the metabolism, which causes the conversion of energy reserves of the body into heat and thereby an increase in body temperature in the event that the sensors feel cold determine. Conversely, the metabolism can also be reduced in order to reduce the temperature when the body overheats.
• the main information carrier of the human body is the spine. Also in connection with the determination of body temperature and well-being, the spine of humans plays the biggest role. Simply put, the spine is the main temperature sensor of humans. As a result, the temperature detected in the spine is crucial for the whole organism, both in terms of body performance and well-being. For this reason, influencing the body temperature in the area of the spine is of crucial importance in order to achieve certain effects. It has been assumed from the theory that clothing in the spine should be designed so that heat dissipation is possible. This theory is based on the assumption that, especially during physical exertion, people start to sweat and thus their body temperature rises.
• the temperature sensors located there determine a lower temperature rise than is the case without heat dissipation in the area of the spinal column.
• the brain does not notice overheating of the body, but only a slight increase in temperature, so that the metabolism can take place at a consistently high level.
• the present invention is based on a modified approach:
• the well-being of humans depends to a large extent on the perceived temperature. As a result, the ambient temperatures are still so low However, the person feels comfortable, as far as the surrounding clothing keeps warm enough.
• the temperature sensors of humans are distributed over the entire body; However, since, as stated above, the spine represents the main temperature sensor, it is above all possible to influence the well-being through changes in the area of the spinal column. Since human performance is also dependent on psychological components, one of which concerns the well-being of temperature, influencing the sensed temperature in the area of the spine is well suited for increasing human performance. Contrary to the previous theory, this influence can also be achieved by suggesting a higher temperature to the body in the region of the spinal column than is actually the case.
• this object is achieved in that the back part has a heat insulating element which extends along the spine and covers at least the area of the thoracic vertebrae.
• a garment is created, which causes an influence on the temperature in the region of the human spine. That up - -wi ⁇
• the back part of the garment arranged heat insulation element runs in the region of the spine and makes the heat dissipation through the clothing in this area difficult.
• the heat sensors of the body located in the area of the spine conduct a higher body temperature to the brain. This leads to a positive influence on the well-being, especially during the cold season or during winter sports activities, since the brain receiving the information starts from a higher temperature than it actually has, resulting in a positive influence on the human psyche. Because physical well-being has a significant impact on people's performance, it enhances performance.
• the heat insulation element has a greater thickness in relation to the rest of the material. This makes it possible to achieve a good heat insulating effect. At the same time, such a greater thickness can be achieved by simply stitching together several layers of the garment-forming material, so that the use of additional materials can be dispensed with, whereby the cost of the garment according to the invention is low.
• the heat insulating element has a greater density in relation to the rest of the material. This also makes it possible to achieve the positive effects according to the invention while at the same time producing the heat insulating element in a simple manner.
• the greater density can be achieved, for example, by a closer knit, which can be included in the manufacturing process of the garment according to the invention in a simple manner.
• areas of climate-regulating material are arranged adjacent to the heat-insulating element.
• Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the rear view of a garment according to the invention.
• Figure 2 is a perspective view of the rear view of a garment according to the invention in another embodiment.
• 3 shows the section along the line III-IM in FIG. 1 and
• FIG. 4 shows the detail "X" in FIG. 2.
• the selected as embodiment garment is a short-sleeved T-shirt.
• the shirt 1 partially covers the body of the wearer; the forearms and neck of the wearer are not covered.
• the garment comprises a back part 2, which has a heat insulation element 3.
• the heat insulating member 3 extends along the spine of the wearer. In the exemplary embodiment, it has a strip-shaped design, which is vertically aligned. In the exemplary embodiment, the heat-insulating element extends from the neckline of the garment to the end facing away from the neckline and thus extends over the entire spine, with the exception of the cervical vertebrae.
• the extension is provided at least in the region of the thoracic vertebrae, which are arranged between the seven cervical vertebrae and the five lumbar vertebrae. Since these make up most of the spine, covering this area of the spine is sufficient to achieve the beneficial effect of the invention.
• the heat insulating member 3 has a greater thickness relative to the remaining material of the garment. This greater thickness is achieved in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1 in that a plurality of layers 31 of material are knitted over one another as can be seen from FIG. 3, in the exemplary embodiment three layers 31 are arranged one above the other.
• the heat insulating element 3 has a greater density in relation to the rest of the material of the garment. This greater density can be achieved by a closer meshing of the heat insulating element 3 in relation to the rest of the material of the garment.
• additional materials for this purpose, in the embodiment according to FIG. 4, in addition to a base thread 32, additional threads 33, 34 are entangled, which cause a greater density.
• additional yarns having particular properties may be used, such as yarns coated with a noble metal such as gold or silver. The use of additional yarns also results in a higher density or thickness; At the same time, the use of precious metals causes a reflection of the heat radiated by the body.
• regions 4 of climate-regulating material are arranged adjacent to the heat-insulating element 3.
• the regions 4 of climate-regulating material can be produced, for example, from mesh knit fabric. When using the net knit fabric, only 80% of the skin is covered by the yarn used; through the mesh provided in the fabric, an exchange of air and thus a heat regulation can take place.
• Other training of the areas 4 of climate-regulating material are possible.
• the arrangement of a wave-shaped tissue structure, in which the tissue is in contact with the skin only at certain points, is possible.
• This design also has the advantage that the perspiration which comes into contact with the skin is applied to the outside of the garment. can be dissipated, whereby the wearing comfort of the inventive garment is additionally improved.
• the garment may also be a singlet, or a tank top.
• the use of the thermal insulation element of the invention on a jacket or overalls is possible. All that is decisive is that the heat insulation element covers at least the area of the thoracic vertebrae of the spinal column on the back of the wearer, in order to effect the positive influence of the temperature sensors of the skin.
