Description

outer garments

The present invention relates to an outerwear, a back protector and clothing.

The connection between a pant and a top to a common garment is often limited by the fact that they are as in US 2005/0114979 Al, DE 10 2004 063 586 AI, WO 00/47071, JP 3-115611 or DE 29619508 Ul only for pants with built-in fasteners such as

horizontal zippers are suitable. Other

Connecting means which must be sewn or firmly fixed to the pants are also known. Velcro connections are disclosed in US 3737916, US 5754982, US 7398558 Bl or DE 3228720 Al. JP 61-11712 shows a belly band-like

Snow protection. A hook-shaped connection is made of FR

2803177 A3 known.

In JP 2011190547 a snow skirt is described, which can be attached to a trousers with belt loops. In this case, a connecting means is used that is fixed outside the belt. The other part of the connection is at the

Fixed inside of the snow catch. The forces that arise during a fall, especially in winter sports, can possibly solve this connection. CH 704437 Bl shows one

Back protector, which is his field of application when riding a motorcycle and the winter sports and has a belt-like band.

In DE 1217297 a device for fixing a pants, skirt or the like on a jacket, blouse or vest is described, wherein a rubber band must be threaded through a holding device.

The object of the present invention is to provide an outer garment which is connectable in a simple manner with a pair of pants. In particular, the outerwear should be suitable to be connectable with any commercially available pants without the pants being adapted in a special way to the connection with the outerwear. It is intended to create a total clothing that the

Non-slip outerwear connects to the pants and / or protects the wearer so that foreign objects such. Snow on the waistband can not get to the body of the wearer and / or provides a circumferentially closed weather protection for the wearer in the waist area.

The above-described object is achieved by the outerwear according to claim 1. Advantageous developments and / or embodiments of the invention are in the

pending claims.

In the context of the present invention, the term "outerwear" is understood to mean a garment which, based on the wearer, is at least partially worn above the belt, for example a jacket, a jacket

Vest, a snow guard,. a protector, a bib or any combination thereof. In other words, the term "outerwear" as used in connection with the present invention could also be understood as "upper body clothing".

According to the outerwear, a ski jacket or a windbreaker or a weather jacket or a Be weatherproof.

According to the invention, a snow guard can be arranged in the outer clothing, which can preferably be fastened to the outer clothing with a zipper and / or is firmly connected to the outer clothing.

According to the invention, the outerwear may be a snow guard, at the lower region of which the tabs are arranged.

According to the invention, the outerwear may be a trouser-bib.

An outer garment comprises a plurality of tabs disposed at a lower portion of the outer garment and a belt, the belt functioning as a trouser belt

usable and at the same time can be brought into holding engagement with tabs of the outerwear. An outerwear is clothing for the upper body, in particular in the form of a vest, so without arm or as a jacket with a long or short arm or as a bib. A tab is in particular one against a lower edge of the outer clothing down

protruding area. The tab is preferably tongue-like and the material of the tongue may be single layer or multiple layers may be combined into a single-layer combination. In particular, the tongue has no openings or passages through which a retaining element, such as a hook, a string or a belt can be pulled.

In the context of the present invention, the term "lower portion" of the outer garment means a portion of the outer garment which is relatively close to the belt of the pant, relative to the wearer, so that the tabs provided therein engage in a retaining engagement with the garment Belt can be brought or connected to the belt.

According to the outer clothing can be below the Lower region in which the tabs are arranged for connection to the belt of the pants, even further down, that is, in other words, that the outer clothing can also at least partially cover the pants.

According to the invention, a connection between the

Outerwear and pants are made via a belt. Contrary to known connections between outerwear and trousers is for the production of the

Connection between outerwear and pants no

Zipper required. This can however as

additional connection between outerwear and pants are provided, if desired.

The connection with tabs for the connection and detachment of the garments a quick, easy and stable handling is achieved. In addition, the comfort does not suffer from the connection. The connecting means are hidden when worn for aesthetic reasons.

Preferably, at least one tab of the outer clothing can be folded over at the lower belt edge and detachably connected to the belt. Thus, the fasteners, so the tab (s), not visible and it is a fashionable design allows.

In particular, the at least one tab from the outside of the belt is over and on the underlying belt edge inwardly reversible and is there at an inward

directed surface of the belt detachably connectable.

As a result, a Velcro connection to the belt can be achieved. Velcro fastenings directly to the fabric of the pants can be avoided so that the fabric does not

is damaged. In particular a Velcro connection with the pants could by friction the aging of the textiles

accelerate. Preferably, the outerwear may be a winter jacket, the winter jacket comprising a snow guard and the snow guard comprising the at least one tab. A snow guard is a wide and circulating band attached to the inside of a jacket, which, through the connection with the belt, ensures that no snow can get under the jacket from below.

Also, the snow skirt can be separable from the jacket. So he can have at its upper edge a zipper for connection with the jacket and at its lower edge the tabs described. Thus, a jacket can be connected via the zipper with the snow guard and this in turn can be releasably attached to a corresponding belt. Thus, the tab device can be attached to any winter jackets, which in the jacket inside a circumferential zipper, for. at the height of the waist.

Alternatively, the outerwear may be a jacket or vest. It may preferably comprise at least one back protector. Especially when using a vest with

Back protector it is necessary to ensure that the protector does not slip in the event of a fall. This purpose is the described attachment with the tabs on the belt. Even if the belt loops of the pants should not be designed to be very tear-resistant, so offers

In addition, the belt, which includes the body of the wearer safely, the assurance that the protector does not slip in a fall.

Preferably, the outerwear has at least three,

in particular at least four and preferably six tabs, this number being adapted to the usual equipment of five belt loops of the (ski) pants.

Further, the outerwear can be a maximum of ten, preferably have a maximum of eight or fewer tabs. If such an outerwear is used with a pair of trousers with significantly fewer loops, then a tab may lie directly on a belt loop of the trousers, so that this tab is not for engagement with the belt

can be folded over. In this case, it can be folded in immediately along the outerwear and thus outside of the belt, without it contributing to the connection with the belt.

A back protector comprises at least one tab and one belt, the belt being usable as a trouser belt and simultaneously with the at least one tab of the belt

Back protector is engageable. The most important advantage here is the better fixation of the back protector on a pair of trousers. It will reduce the horizontal and / or vertical displacement of the back protector during a fall.

A corresponding garment comprises an outer garment, a belt and a pair of trousers, the trousers comprising, via loops for fastening the belt, no fasteners for direct or indirect permanent connection to the outer garment. The advantage here is a better protection against weather, especially during activities or sports in nature.

According to the invention, a very simple and cheap

Connectivity can be created from an outerwear and a pair of trousers. According to the invention, the compound can be easily adapted to the needs. The tighter the belt is made, the firmer and thus denser the connection becomes.

According to the invention, the connection between the

Outerwear and pants can be created right at the bottom of the belt and can thus create a very clean finish, against snow, wind and generally bad weather protects.

According to the invention, the belt may also have slots through which the tabs are guided to make the connection between the outerwear and the pants.

According to the invention, the belt can also have a continuous slot or an upper and a lower one

Have region, wherein the tabs are passed through the belt to the connection between the

Outerwear and trousers manufacture.

The invention will be described in more detail below with an exemplary embodiment. It shows: a belt,

an inside-out view of a garment top,

5 shows the section A-A according to FIG. 5 as a cross section through the connection of a belt to one of the straps, FIG.

a perspective view of the connection of an upper part with a belt viewed from the inside, a view of a combination of a

outerwear according to the invention with a trouser from the back,

the combination of Figure 5 viewed from the front; a view of a snow fence according to the invention; a view of a belt for a

clothing according to the invention;

a view of an arrangement of tabs for

Attachment to an inventive

Outerwear; and

a view of an alternative embodiment of a belt for a clothing according to the invention.

FIG. 1 shows the belt 1 with the one on the inside fixed fasteners 2. The fastener should be fixed in several sections on the belt so that a comfortable fit of the belt is given. And it allows full function at different

Belt settings. Or the lanyard should be supple enough to fix it to the belt throughout without compromising comfort. The connecting means may in particular be a Velcro connection. A hook-and-loop connection can consist essentially of two parts, namely a first flat layer which has a multiplicity of small loops and a second flat layer which has a plurality of small hooks, so that in the case of a hook and loop connection the hooks engage in the loops and themselves so sets a flat connection. Preferably, the Velcro layer, the loop-containing layer on the inside of the belt

exhibit. The tabs 4 described below the

Outerwear may accordingly comprise the hook-carrying velcro layer. An exchange of these layers is possible. Also, as indicated in Fig. 1, not the entire belt inside be provided with the same Velcro layer, but in the middle part, ie in the middle of the back of a person wearing the belt, exchange.

Figure 2 shows the lower edge 10 of the inside of a

Upper part 3. At the lower edge of the upper part four tabs extend 4. The tabs 4 have on one side of the connecting means 2, which is in particular a Velcro layer. The number of tabs 4 preferably results from the number of belt loops minus one. Most pants have five belt loops, thus resulting in a number of four straps 4. The width of the

Outer clothing, ie the extension in Fig. 2 from left to right is sized so that it can span the body of the wearer. The spacing and length of the tabs in the preferred embodiment is determined by the spacing of the belt loops. The goal is to create the resulting Gaps 5 around the belt loops as small as possible but as big as necessary to make people with

different hip circumferences and pants get the best possible weather protection.

Figure 3 shows the connection of belt 1 and tab 4 on the upper part 3 in cross-section across the belt 1 at a point where the belt has no loop. In addition, the upper part of a pair of pants 6 and the Velcro layer 2 is shown. It is shown how the fabric of the upper part 3 lies around the belt 1 from the outside. Approximately at the level of the lower edge of the belt, the tabs 4, which are taken from below between the belt 1 and the pants 6. The tabs are at the lower edge 10 of the upper part behind the belt

handled. The flaps 4 are thus located between the belt 1 and the pants 6. The upper part 3 is shown with a large arc around the belt, with a direct contact usually being established from the outer clothing to the outer side of the belt 1.

Figure 4 shows the assembly of the upper part 3 with the belt 1 in the viewing direction from the inside out. The pants 6 is not shown, but it is only a belt loop 9 shown, which surrounds the belt. The tabs are located along the inside of the belt. In areas where a belt loop 9 is provided, there is no tab. 4

FIG. 5 shows by way of example a complete connection between an outer garment 7 with integrated suspenders 8 and a trouser 6 with belt loops 9 from the rear. The outerwear 7 is designed as a rear bib, which is very helpful in a ski or snowboard clothing, so that when falling no snow can penetrate under the jacket and / or in the pants. Figure 6 shows an example of a complete connection between an outerwear with integrated braces 8 and a pants 6 with belt loops 9 from the front. In the abdominal area 7 no material is provided at the bib.

According to an embodiment, not shown, the bib or bib can also be formed closed at the front.

In this case, the bib can also be designed to be closed at the front.

As an alternative to a bib, the tabs described can be attached to a jacket. Here they can be provided on the lower edge of the jacket or on one

circumferential line around the inside of the jacket so that a lower portion of the jacket can reach down beyond the belt to provide protection for the buttocks.

For example, the tabs may be secured to the jacket with an array of tabs as shown in FIG. The arrangement has a circumferential collar 110 on which six tabs 104 are arranged. The four inner tabs 104 are about twice as wide as the two outer tabs 104 are formed. At the bottom

Regions of the tabs 104 each connecting means 102 are provided, for example

Velcro closures or with trained on the belt

Connecting devices cooperating

Velcro parts can be.

According to the invention, the tabs 102 may be about 30 to 120 mm wide. Preferably, the tabs 102 may be about 40 to 100 mm wide. More preferably, the tabs 102 may be about 50 to 80 mm wide. According to a preferred embodiment, the tabs 102 are about 60 mm wide.

According to the invention, the distances 105 between the tabs may be about 30 to 200 mm. Preferably, the

Distances 105 between the tabs 102 about 70 to 180 mm. Further preferably, the distances 105 between the tabs 102 about 100 mm to 160 mm. According to a preferred embodiment, the distances 105 between the tabs 102 are about 120 mm to 150 mm. According to the embodiment shown in Figure 9, the distances between the outermost and innermost tabs 102 are less than the distances between the respective middle tabs 102 (ie, in the embodiment shown in Figure 9, the distances between the second and third tabs 102 and the fourth and fifth Tab 102). For example, the larger distances may be about 150 mm and the smaller distances may be about 120 mm.

These embodiments have the advantage that they are suitable for a variety of pants that have a slightly different arrangement of the belt loops.

According to the invention, the tabs can also be formed wider, for example, such that the distance between the tabs and the belt loops is as small as possible, so that a good and tight connection between the pants and the outer clothing can be formed by the tabs, if the tabs next the belt loops are hit around the belt.

FIG. 7 shows an outerwear according to the invention which is designed as a snow guard 11. At the lower portion 10 of the snow guard 11 six tabs 4 are provided. The tabs 4 have on one side connecting means 2, with which the tabs 4 can be connected to corresponding provided on the belt connecting means 2 to a

Connection between the snow skirt and the pants

manufacture. The connecting means 2 may preferably be formed as a Velcro layer in order to achieve a simple and quickly detachable connection.

The snow guard 11 shown in FIG. 7 has extensions 13 on its two sides, at which connection devices 14 are provided. The connection means 14 may be push buttons or other alternative connection means known to those skilled in the art, with which the extensions can be connected to each other to arrange the snow guard around the body of the wearer.

According to the invention, the number of tabs 2 may be equal to the number of belt loops plus one or equal to the number of belt loops minus one. Most pants have five belt loops. According to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the number of tabs 2 and 102 is preferably six.

At the upper portion of the one shown in FIG

Snow fence 11 according to the invention, a connecting means 12 is provided, with which the snow guard on the inside of a jacket, such as a ski jacket can be attached. As connecting means, for example, a

Zipper be provided, i. that one half of the zipper is provided on the snow skirt 11 and the other half of the zipper on the jacket, so that the snow skirt can be attached in a known manner to the inside of the jacket by closing the zipper.

The snow guard 11 is sized in circumference so that the snow guard can span the body of the wearer. The length or circumference of the snow fence thus corresponds to

Essentially the length of the belt or the waistband of the pants, which is to be connected to the jacket or snow skirt.

The distance and the length of the tabs are at the

preferred embodiments by the distance of

Belt loops intended. The preferred goal is to avoid the resulting gaps between the tabs and the

Make belt loops as small as possible to get the best possible weather protection. If it is desired that the outerwear is connectable with trousers of different manufacturers, also a certain distance between the belt loops and the

Tabs are provided, which serves to compensate for the large and manufacturer-related tolerances. As a result, manufacturing costs can be reduced.

If the outerwear should fit only to certain pants, the distances between the belt loops and the tabs can be set so small that a good

Operation is just possible. Advantageously, the width of the tabs should correspond approximately to the width of one hand in order to ensure easy and easy handling of the production and release of the connection of the outerwear with the pants. It is clear that then the width of the belt loops could be increased accordingly to keep the distances between the belt loops and the tabs as small as possible.

In the foregoing, four or six tab embodiments have been described. These are particularly suitable for pants with five belt loops, as they are widely used.

The outerwear is applied as follows. First, the belt is pulled through the belt loops of the pants. Then the person puts on the outerwear. Then the tabs are at about the height of the belt. Preferably, a second person pivots the tabs under the belt, wherein the tabs are in a 180 ° -Abwinklung to the outerwear 3. The Velcro connection provides a surface connection of the belt to the tabs, wherein the highest holding force in the transverse or

Shear direction is. By pressing the belt against the body of the wearer, the holding force is increased.

In addition, the 180 ° deflection, which causes a wrap of the belt, so as to further increase the holding forces.

Ideally, the number of tabs on the

Trouser loop number adjusted. However, since there are different pants, in an alternative embodiment of the outerwear, the number of straps can also be significantly larger than the loop number. For example, with a loop number of pants of five, the number of tabs may be 10 or 15. In this case, the tabs, which are in the loop-free area, used for fastening already described. The tabs, which lie in areas of loops of the pants, become instant, so

folded outside the loop under the upper part 3. In this case would be outside, so right of the

Belt 1 of FIG. 3, first a belt loop,

Subsequently, the tab 4 and then immediately following the fabric of the upper part 3 lie. The width of the tabs 4 may preferably be between 20% and 80% of the distance of two

lying adjacent loops of a pair of pants. The width of the tabs may preferably be between 2 and 10 cm and the length, ie in the vertical direction, is at least 2 cm, preferably at least 3 cm and a maximum of 8 cm.

Figure 8 shows a view of a belt 1 with provided at its ends connecting means 15 which on the

The person skilled in known manner are arranged and formed so that the belt 1 can be closed. The belt 1 is designed such that it can be worn or arranged in a trouser in a known manner by being guided by suitably formed on the pants belt loops and then according to the body size of the

Carrier is closed. To connect the pants with the upper body clothing or the outer clothing, the tabs are hit around the belt. To attach the

Tabs on the belt, the tabs as shown for example in Fig. 9 only in partial areas connecting means have, or as shown for example in Figure 7 over the entire area connecting means.

Figure 10 shows an alternative embodiment of a belt 101. The belt has two circumferential portions 101A and 101B, which according to not shown embodiments of

Invention may be interconnected in areas where no tabs are provided (as long as the tabs are to be passed between the two areas 101A and 101B and then hit around the upper area 101A.). Accordingly, slots may be provided in a belt having a circumferential area through which the tabs are guided. As with the belt of Figure 8, connecting means 115 for closing the belt are provided at the ends 115. In this embodiment, it is possible to connect the outerwear with the pants, the tabs between the two areas 101A and 101B

pass through, so that not the entire belt must be enclosed by the tabs. This is advantageous, for example, in pants that are equipped with very wide belts. There is the advantage that a connection can then be made even with relatively short tabs if only the belt is exchanged, i. that one

Outer clothing with straps for pants with narrow or

normal belts and can be used for pants with wide belts.

The relative location information used, such as "top," "bottom," or "vertical," refers particularly to a person wearing the appropriate garments as intended and who is in an upright position The term outerwear refers to garments for the upper body and not on a farther outside

Clothing. Furthermore, the direction "inside" refers to closer to the person's body and position or

Direction "lying outside" as farther away from the body.
