Definitions

  • Shorts, pants and other "bottoms” worn while playing sports may be constructed to be durable. However, with durability sometimes comes bulkiness. For example, in martial arts- related sports, shorts worn by fighters may be constructed so that they are adjustable but do not easily come undone. Strips of hook-loop fasteners (e.g., Velcro) may be sewn on top of a textile such as fabric in order to allow the fighter to "fasten/unfasten” the shorts near the crotch. However, some fighters complain that the multiple layers of strips of hook-loop fasteners and textile causes the crotch area to be too bulky.
  • Strips of hook-loop fasteners e.g., Velcro
  • Some fighting disciplines require fighters to repeatedly bend at the waist and/or lift thighs, and if the crotch of a pair of shorts (or pants) is too bulky it may rub against the fighter's stomach or other parts of the fighter's body, causing skin irritation, fatigue, and discomfort.
  • Fig. 1 depicts an example of sporting apparel, in accordance with various embodiments.
  • Fig. 2 depicts layers of the apparel of Fig. 1, in accordance with various embodiments.
  • Figs. 3-5 depict various stages of assembly of an example closure, in accordance with various embodiments.
  • Figs. 6-8 depict a strip of hook-loop fasteners in various stages of being integrated into a layer of textile, in accordance with various embodiments.
  • phrase “A and/or B” means (A), (B), or (A and B).
  • phrase “A, B, and/or C” means (A), (B), (C), (A and B), (A and C), (B and C), or (A, B and C).
  • sporting apparel 10 may come in various forms, such as a pair of sporting shorts 12. Sporting apparel 10 may be worn while participating in various sporting activities, including but not limited to mixed martial arts, wrestling, boxing, swimming, surfing, basketball, and so forth. In various embodiments, sporting apparel 10 may be particularly well-suited for combative sports because, for reasons which will be described below, one or more portions of sporting apparel 10 may be manufactured in a manner that reduces bulk.
  • Sporting apparel 10 may include a waistband portion 14.
  • Waistband portion 14 may include various numbers of layers 16 (see, e.g., Fig. 2). Layers 16 may be formed from textiles and/or other materials, such as strips of hook-loop fasteners (e.g., Velcro).
  • waistband portion 14 may include one or more elastic portions (not shown) that enable waistband portion 14 to be stretched to fit a variety of waist sizes (e.g., "one-size- fits-all").
  • a textile portion 18 may be attached to waistband portion 14.
  • textile portion 18 may include one or more legs 20 through which a wearer may insert his or her legs when wearing sporting apparel 10. While legs 20 of sporting apparel 10 in Fig. 1 are relatively short, the length of legs 20 is not of particular importance, and Fig. 1 is not meant to be limiting in this regard.
  • sporting apparel 10 may have longer legs 20, which may lead to sporting apparel 10 being considered “pants” or “trousers,” rather than shorts.
  • Other intermediate leg lengths such as may be found in "Capri" pants, are also contemplated herein.
  • disclosed techniques may be used to construct legless apparel, such as skirts, with less bulky waists, e.g., for use during tennis.
  • waistband portion 14 may include a first end 22 and a second end 24 that together (and, in various embodiments, along with other components) may form a closure 26.
  • Closure 26 may have various components, described below, that may be fastened together using strips of hook- loop fasteners to securely fit sporting apparel 10 about a wearer's waist. Closure 26 may be at various positions along waistband portion 14. In Figs. 1 and 3-5, for example, closure 26 is positioned near a crotch area of sporting apparel 10, but this is not meant to be limiting, and closure 26 may be at other positions along waistband portion 14.
  • First end 22 and second end 24 of waistband portion 14 may be removably attached around a waist of a wearer.
  • waistband portion 14 may include a first strip of hook-loop fasteners 28 and a second strip of hook-loop fasteners 30 that is removably attachable to first strip of hook-loop fasteners 28.
  • multiple discrete strips of hook-loop fasteners may be included to strengthen a bond between first end 22 and second end 24.
  • first strip of hook-loop fasteners 28 includes a first piece 32 and a second piece 34.
  • Second strip of hook-loop fasteners 30 likewise includes a first piece 36 and a second piece 38.
  • Strips of hook- loop fasteners may include more or less pieces without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
  • sporting apparel 10 may be adjustably fitted about a variety of waist sizes by adjusting a relative position at which first strip of hook-loop fasteners 28 is removably attached to second strip of hook-loop fasteners 30.
  • attaching strips of hook-loop fasteners such as first strip of hook-loop fasteners 28 or second strip of hook-loop fasteners 30 on top of a textile surface may result in multiple layers.

  • a textile surface e.g., a surface of waistband portion 14 or textile portion 18
  • one or more strips of hook-loop fasteners described herein may be wholly or partially integrated into various textile layers of sporting apparel 10. All or part of a strip of hook- loop fasteners may be integrated into a layer in various ways. Examples of this are seen in Figs. 6-8. In Fig. 6, a portion has been cut-out of a textile layer 16 to form a cut-out portion 60.
  • a strip of hook- loop fasteners such as first strip of hook- loop fasteners 28 may be integrated into layer 16, and more particularly, into cut-out portion 60, in various ways.
  • cut-out portion 60 and first strip of hook-loop fasteners 28 may be die cut, so that they are similar in size.
  • First strip of hook-loop fasteners 28 may substantially fit within cut-out portion 60.
  • First strip of hook-loop fasteners 28 may include one or more edges that may be attached to one or more inner edges of the cut-out portion of layer 16, e.g., using stitching or adhesives.
  • first strip of hook-loop fasteners 28 may be slightly larger than cut-out portion 60.
  • an outer perimeter of first strip of hook-loop fasteners 28 e.g., the area of first strip of hook-loop fasteners 28 between the dotted lines and cut-out portion 60 of Fig. 8 may be attached, using stitching, adhesives or other similar means, to an area of layer 16 surrounding cut-out portion 60.
  • strips of hook-loop fasteners may be integrated into other textile layers than waistband portion 14.
  • textile portion 18 may include a third strip of hook- loop fasteners 40 near first strip of hook- loop fasteners 28, and a fourth strip of hook-loop fasteners 42 near second strip of hook-loop fasteners 30 that may be removably attachable to third strip of hook- loop fasteners 40.
  • a gore 44 may be positioned in between the third strip of hook-loop fasteners 40 and fourth strip of hook-loop fasteners 42, to extend from a bottom of a "fly" of closure 26 to adjacent waist band portion 14. Gore 44 may protect the wearer's privacy in the event closure 26 becomes unfastened.

  • flap 46 may be foldable over first strip of hook-loop fasteners 28 and second strip of hook- loop fasteners 30 of waistband portion 14 when second strip of hook- loop fasteners 30 is removably attached to first strip of hook-loop fasteners 28, as shown in Figs. 1 and 5.
  • flap 46 may additionally fold over additional fasteners (not shown), such as laces after they are tied together. This may prevent the laces from coming untied.

  • Fig. 2 depicts an example of how integrating strips of hook- loop fasteners into textile layers may result in a lower number of total layers (and thus, less bulkiness) than if strips of hook-loop fasteners were merely placed on top of textile layers.
  • First strip of hook- loop fasteners 28 is seen near the bottom
  • fifth strip of hook-loop fasteners 50 is seen near the top
  • second and sixth strips of hook-loop fasteners 30, 52 are seen near the middle.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne des modes de réalisation d'un vêtement de sport, y compris des shorts, des pantalons et ainsi de suite. Dans divers modes de réalisation, le vêtement de sport peut être disposé autour de la taille d'un porteur. Dans divers modes de réalisation, le vêtement de sport peut comprendre une ou plusieurs bandes de fermetures auto-agrippantes (par exemple, Velcro) pouvant être intégrées dans des couches textiles, plutôt que sur leur partie supérieure, pour réduire le volume. Dans divers modes de réalisation, un rabat peut être replié au-dessus de tout ou partie d'une fermeture du vêtement de sport, pour réduire une probabilité que la fermeture se défasse, par exemple, pendant des sports de combat.
