Description

Connecting elements for garments to be joined together

The invention relates to a Verbindungsseierneni with the features of the preamble of claim 1, a garment with such a connecting element and a garment with the features of the preamble of claim 16,

Fasteners of the type mentioned are already part of the prior art and are mentioned, for example, in WO 2014/174332 AI, fasteners for releasably connecting garments - such as brassiere, lingerie, corsetry or swimwear - are offered in various forms and designs. These fasteners have fastening means for releasably connecting two garments, such as backs of bras. Due to the forces acting on the connecting element, it is necessary to fasten the Befestigungsmittei so on the connecting element, that the connection between the Verbindungsseierneni and the fastening means can withstand the forces and the Befestigungsmittei not tearing under the loads occurring. For this purpose, a Zwischenschiebt is enclosed in the connection element. on which the fasteners are attached tensile strength. This intermediate layer consists of a more tensile and tear-resistant material than, for example, the other layers of the connecting element. The other layers, which for example are facing or facing away from the skin of the wearer or the wearer, should primarily serve the wearing comfort of the garment or the visual appearance. In other words, the material of the intermediate layer serves to absorb the forces of the fastening means and is enhanced by other materials which surround and cover the intermediate layer in order to improve the wearing comfort and the aesthetics of the garment.

JP 2004/263315 A shows possibilities for bonding the individual components of garments in order to register beaded and hard seams and overlaps of layers. By bonding itself but also harder regions arise on the garment and the method of bonding is very costly. WO 2008/007748 A1 shows inter alia how, for example, foam is introduced into the connecting element for cushioning in order to increase wearing comfort. Weilers individual layers of fasteners are connected together so that they are inverted after the connection of the layers around the connecting lines, which are often hard, beaded and unsightly, to lay inside the connector. Nevertheless - due to the multilayer or multilayer structure of the connection eiementes takes the fastener in its overall strength, Especially on the parts where the connecting element with a garment or parts of the garment is firmly connected, thus compared to the textile thickness of the garment beaded or thicker and thus uncomfortable harder sections on the attachment portion between garment and Connecting element arise which are unsightly or are perceived by the wearer / the carrier as unpleasant because they can press in the back area, object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages described above and a comparison with the prior art improved connection element and an improved garment specify.

This is done by a fastener with. the features of claim 1, a garment with such a connecting element and a garment with the features of claim 18 achieved.

The recessed by a range b intermediate layer creates a space in which the first garment is attached. Thus, the garment is not layered on the intermediate layer but adjacent to it. The connection between the intermediate layer and the garment thus takes place indirectly via a first and a second layer, which act as a base and cover layer, beads or unwanted thickening at the portion where the connecting element is connected to the garment are thus prevented. The attachment section has a maximum of three layers one above the other, which improves the visual appearance and also the wearing comfort for the entire item of clothing.

I supplement to the prior art, the above embodiments are concerned with improving the wearing comfort of the garment in the attachment portion of the connecting element. On the other hand, the prior art documents mentioned at the beginning are concerned with the wearing comfort of the remaining three edges of the twisting edge of the invention.

According to the invention according to claim 1, it is provided that the intermediate layer is at least partially reset relative to the first and / or second layer by an area and thus forms a free space. In which the first garment is fastened. The invention makes it possible to use the first layer (the layer of the wearer facing the skin) alone for fastening the garment.

In a garment according to claim 18, where, so to speak, no fastener formed separately from the garment is provided, but the fastener elements are located directly on the garment, wearing comfort by use of the first layer (that layer facing the wearer's skin) improves Attachment section for a connecting, second section of the garment, in the case of a brassiere so for example, a back part.

Advantageous embodiments can be found in the dependent subclaims.

The intermediate layer of the binding element or the garment may in principle be in the form of a fabric, but preferably in the form of a nonwoven, since this has a higher intrinsic stability and a higher tensile strength. For example, non-limiting natural or synthetic fibers such as cotton, polyester or polyamides may be used. It may of course be provided that the individual layers of the connecting element or garment consist of mutually different materials and / or that different types of textile formation (fabric, fleece) are selected for the different layers.

Further details and advantages of the present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the description of the figures with reference to the Ausfübebeisplele shown in the drawings. Show:

Flg. 8a, 8b variants of the tabs of the Befestigungsabschnitt.es, Fig. 1 shows a garment 21 on a wearer / a carrier with a connecting element 20, which is releasably connected to a complementary connecting element 23. The Verbindungssefement 20 is fixedly connected to a first garment 21, the complementary connecting element 23 is fixedly connected to a second garment. The connecting element 20 includes a carrier 10. On this support 10 fastening means 5a, 5b are arranged, which are explained in more detail in FIG. With these fastened! A detachable connection to the complementary connecting element 23 is produced by means of the nipple 5a. On the complementary Verbindungsseiement 23 are corresponding fastening means 5b. The attachment! 5 may be formed by different Äusführungsformen. For example, by a hook / Ösenverblndung, by snaps, Velcro fasteners, - one or more laces or form-locking Verbindungsetemente such as telescoping forms,

2 shows a connecting element 20, consisting of a carrier 10 according to the prior art. The carrier 10 is formed by three layers in this example. A first layer 1 is via an intermediate layer 3 with. a second layer 2 sections firmly connected. This firm connection can be made by sewing, gluing or a welding or melting process. The fastening means 5 are firmly connected to the intermediate layer 3, which also takes place by sewing, gluing or a welding or melting process. In the Flg. 2 is shown as Befesiigungsmittel 5a an eyelet whose Ösenauge protrudes from the second layer 2 and thus visible from the outside and is accessible. Into the eye of the attachment mound oa. can subsequently be a corresponding Befesiigungsmittel 5b, for example in the form of a hook, hung. At one point, the three layers 1, 2, 3 or only two of the layers 1, 2 are not firmly joined together. This results in a first tab 1 1 and a second tab 12, which form a mounting portion 4, in this attachment portion 4, the first garment 21 is inserted and subsequently firmly connected to the first layer 1, the second layer 2 and the intermediate layer 3 This connection of the first item of clothing 21 in the attachment portion 4 takes place, for example, by sewing, gluing, welding or a melt connection. By the first garment 21 (not visible in FIG. 2) resting on the attachment section 4, the intermediate layer 3, a four-layered structure is formed in the region of the attachment section 4, which is better shown in FIG. 5a. The four-layer structure creates a bead or a thickening on the attachment portion, which is often perceived as disturbing or visually unappealing when wearing the garment. The first and second layers 1, 2 and / or the attachment portion 4 are made, for example, from a microfiber material. The Interlayer 3 consists of a woven or knitted fabric made of polyamide or polyester fiber material, which is better for ur Aufnahme the Befestigungsmittei 5 is suitable.

3 shows a connecting element 20 consisting of a carrier 10, in which the intermediate layer 3 is at least partially reset and forms a free space 30. This clearance 30 is provided for attachment of the first garment 21 (not visible in FIG. 3). As also shown in FIG. 2, a first tab 11 and a second tab 12 are formed by the first layer 1 and the second layer 2 in the region of the attachment section 4. Between these tabs 11, 12, a part of the first article of clothing 21 is inserted and connected firmly connected to the carrier 10. This connection can, as also explained in FIG. 2, be carried out by various methods. The garment 21 _s 22 can be designed as the back part of a brassiere, of lingerie, corsetry or swimwear. Due to the at least partially resetting of the intermediate layer 3 and the space thus created, the first garment 21 not visible in FIG. 3 is firmly connected only to the first flap 11 and the second flap 12 of the attachment section 4. There is no stacking of intermediate layer 3 and a layer of the first garment 21st An unnecessary coexistence of layers and an associated bulging or thickening is thus prevented. The Befesffungsabschnitt 4 is formed integrally with the first layer 1 and / or the second layer 2 and is defined by the tabs 1 1, 12. By this one-piece design no additional thickening due to superimposed layers arise.

4 shows a garment 21 and a connecting element 20 in plan view. Therein, a section A-Ä is drawn in the edge region and a section B-B in the central region of the veneering element 2ö, Furthermore, the band 18 is located in the edge region of the garment. This band 18 absorbs the tensile forces created when wearing the garment and is elastic. The band 18 is firmly connected to the connecting element 20, since the tensile forces are introduced from the connecting element 20 into the band 18,

Fig. Sa shows one of the sections AA or BB from the Flg. 4 by connecting element 20, consisting of a carrier 10, connected to a first garment 21. By superimposing the garment 21 and the Befestigungsabschnit b of the intermediate layer 3 is formed in the region of the attachment portion b a bead-like thickening, to layer thickness S of the intermediate layer 3 is the Schiehtsfärke S of the first garment 21 added. Looking at the section AA of Fig. 4, the bead formation in the region of the attachment portion b is mainly on the elastic bands 18 at the edge of the Attributed to garment 21. Alternatively, however, the garment 21 itself may also be partially elastic, thus eliminating the bands 18 and the bead iJdung- done by the actual material of the garment 21st in this case it may be indicated that the materia! the garment 21 is reinforced to receive the elastic forces.

FIG. 5b shows a connecting element 20, consisting of a carrier 10, in which the intermediate layer 3 is set back by the width B. The width B is seen in relation to the length L of the carrier 10 in about 5 to SO% of the total length L of the carrier 10. By resetting the intermediate layer 3 in relation to the first layer 1 and second layer 2 is formed by the tabs 11, 12 a space 3NC. the place for receiving the portion of the first garment 21 (not visible in Fig. 8b). By resetting the intermediate layer 3 is not only a free space 30, but also a stop 13, which may be useful, for example, in the attachment of the first garment 21. By this Ansehlag 13, the position in which the first garment 2.1 is subsequently attached defined. As a result of the stop 13, the process of attaching connecting element 20 to the first item of clothing 21 is thus facilitated during the production of the item of clothing. 5c shows a sectional view of the connecting element 20, consisting of the carrier 10 which is composited with a first garment 2. The first garment 21 is located here in sections in the free space 30 and is firmly connected to the carrier 10, in Fig. 5c can be seen that the layer thickness 8 of the first garment 21, which is fixed in the free space 30 of the attachment portion 4, an im Substantially equal or lower material thickness S has the same as the material thickness S de intermediate layer 3, This ensures that no bead-like thickening in the region of the attachment portion 4 of the Verbindungsseiementes 20 is formed, but a homogeneous transition of the first garment 21 on the connecting element 20. It is also conceivable that only the first layer 1 or the second layer 2 is joined to the first garment 21. Then only one of the tabs 1 1, 12 would be required to attach the first garment 21 to the connecting element 20. The corresponding connecting element 23 can be connected to the second garment 2 in the same manner as the connecting element 20 to the first garment 21. The structure of the layers 1, 2, 3 and the resetting of the intermediate layer 3 is also applicable to the corresponding connecting element 23 and carries in the same way to a more homogeneous transition at. FIG. 6 shows a further embodiment of a garment 21 with a connecting element 2.0. In this embodiment, the first layer 1 is formed by the material of the garment 21. In other words, the garment 21 and the first layer 1 are integrally formed. The clearance 30 is thus formed by the garment 21, the recessed intermediate layer 3 and the second layer 2. In a multi-layered or multi-part construction of the first garment 21, a part or section of the first garment 21 can now be inserted in the free space 30. Part or section of the garment 21 may be, for example, the band 18 (as shown in FIG. 4 section AA). The band 18 - as part of the Kle tion piece 21 · ^■ is inserted into the space 3G and remains positioned next to the intermediate layer 3. Thus, after joining the individual layers consisting of garment 21, intermediate layer 3 and second layer 2, a homogeneous transition is created between the garment 21 and the connecting element 20. The corresponding connecting element 23 can also be connected to the second garment 22 in the same manner the Verblndungseiement 20 with the first garment 21 of this embodiment.

Fig. 7 shows an unconnected to the garment 21 Verblndungseiement 20 after joining the individual layers 1, 2, 3 and the attachment of Befestigungsmittei 5a. When joining the layers 1, 2, 3 whose edges are connected in sections, which is done for example by sewing, gluing, or welding. This produces - especially when gluing - harder sections at the edges de Verbindungselernentes 20, which are bothersome for the wearer / the wearer, For this reason, the connecting element 20 after sewing the individual layers 1, 2, 3 everted to the harder The edges are provided with connecting lines 15, such as, for example, seams, adhesive lines or welding lines, to be laid into the interior of the connecting element 20. VVeiters also contributes to an improved appearance as no fringing or sharp-edged edges are recognizable. In addition, a padding between the layers 1 and 2 are placed to the comfort of the garment 21, 22nd to improve. FIG. 7 shows in outline what the veneering element 20 looks like when it has been turned up to approximately one third after joining the layers.

Fig. 8a shows the tabs 1 1, 12 to de layers 1, 2, which form the space 30. The tabs 1 1, 12 can either run out with a cut or be folded at the ends, as can be seen in Fig. 8c. The fold improves the wearing comfort and visual appearance
