To obtain a better thermal regulation of the garment the invention is characterized in that the cover section (2) comprises at least two insulating sections (3, 4, 5, 6) which run parallel to another, wherein a venting section (7, 8, 9) is arranged between two adjacent insulating sections (3, 4, 5, 6).

Description

Garment, especially Sports Garment
The invention relates to a garment, especially to a sports garment, with a cover section which covers a part of the body of a wearer of the garment, wherein the cover section consists of a knitted textile material.
During physical activity or training - in different kinds of intensity - garments, especially sports garments, of the generic kind must fulfil different tasks. Due to the environmental conditions the garment must provide insulating properties to protect the body of the wearer of the garment. At the other hand the aspect of venting is relevant and must be taken into consideration to allow a convenient training or physical activity. Generally, a reasonable thermal regulation of the garment is required which must be provided by the design of the same.
It has been found that insofar a knitted textile material for the garment, especially in the case of a sports garment, can sometimes provide better properties than woven material. In general, pre-known garments of the kind mentioned above do not always fulfil the requirements in terms of insulation and venting properties. Thus, it is an o b j e c t of the present invention to propose a garment, especially a sports garment, which allows a better thermal regulation during normal activities as well as during sporting activities. The s o l u t i o n of this object according to the invention is characterized in that the cover section of the garment comprises at least two insulating sections which run parallel to another, wherein a venting section is arranged between two adjacent insulating sections. The insulating sections and the venting section are thereby preferably knitted in a seamless manner.
The insulating sections and the venting section are preferably arranged parallel to another in a lamellar manner.
A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that at least four insulating sections are arranged between which at least three venting sections are arranged. The garment, especially the sports garment, can be for example a jacket, especially a sports jacket, or a shirt, especially a sports shirt, or a vest, especially a sports vest. In this case a right group and a left group of respective insulating sections and venting sections can be arranged in the chest area of the garment.
Also, the garment can be for example a pair of trousers, especially a pair of sports trousers. It has been found that the thermal regulation and more specifically the insulating and venting properties of the garment can be improved by using a specific geometry with respect to the design of the insulating sections and venting sections.
The thickness of the insulating sections and the thickness of the venting sections are preferably substantially constant along the extension of the insulating sections and venting sections. This means that specifically the insulating sections but also the venting sections have a substantial ashlar- formed shape. The thickness of the insulating sections is normally substantially bigger than the thickness of the venting sections. The preferred design provides that the thickness of the insulating sections is between 2.0 mm and 5.0 mm, preferably between 3.0 mm and 4.0 mm. The thickness of the venting sections is preferably between 0.3 mm and 1.5 mm, specifically preferred between 0.5 mm and 1.0 mm.
The venting sections can comprise a plurality of venting holes to get their venting property. The diameter of the venting holes is thereby preferably between 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm, specifically preferred between 0.7 mm and 1.0 mm. At least two rows of venting holes can be arranged in the venting section; the venting holes of the at least two rows can thereby be arranged offset to another.
The insulating sections have preferably a width which is between 20 mm and 70 mm, specifically preferred between 20 mm and 50 mm. The venting sections can have a width which is between 4 mm and 1 mm, preferably between 5 mm and 10 mm. Thus, the proposed garment, especially the sports garment, has specific climate zones which establish a good thermal regulation. This is done by a combination of thicker knitted (lamellar, stripe-like) insulation sections which are separated or interrupted by a thinner (lamellar, stripe-like) venting section which preferably comprises venting holes.
Thus, venting and insulation is given at the same time so that a better thermal regulation can be obtained. Beneficially, the garment is produced by a knitting process instead of a usually employed weaving process.
Preferably, a plurality of stripes (insulation sections and venting sections) is arranged in a parallel manner. The thicker insulation sections have a thickness preferably between 3 and 4 mm. The thinner venting sections have a thickness preferably below 1 mm.
The proposed piece of garment can be used during normal physical activities as well as during sporting activities, like e. g. biking and running. It supplies a clothing that can cope with all normal daily active challenges and sporting.
The preferred seamless design allows a good thermal regulation during the use at different temperatures regardless of the current activity due to the warmth protection (insulation) and ventilation at the same time.
With modern knitting technology it is possible to obtain the seamless design combined with the above defined thermoregulation structures. Preferably, a lightweight 100% - polyester yarn is used which makes the garment softer and more stretchable compared to normal polyester yarn. Once this yarn is knitted it doesn't crease easily, so it will be no problem to crumble the garment, squash it in a backpack and still unpack it later and look smart straight away.
The yarn has very good color fastness performance especially against light and sweat. This makes it longer lasting, which adds to the environmental credentials.
The garment is extremely lightweight, the distinct knitting panels of insulation and ventilation at chest area is not only functional but it also creates a beneficial aesthetic. The key ventilation zones of the garment are focused around the underarm, center-back and side of the hood. To make sure the wearer has freedom of movement, rib panels at the center back can be incorporated; so when the arm is stretched forward, the rib will expand and give extra room to the wearer. In the drawings an embodiment of the invention is shown.
Fig. 1 shows a front view of a sports shirt or sports jacket which is equipped with special climate zones in the chest area of the garment,
Fig. 2 shows an enlarged view of the climate zones of the sports garment according to figures 1 ,
Fig. 3 shows the enlarged view of the detail "X" according to figure 2 and Fig. 4 shows the cross section A-B according to figure 3 through the textile material of the sports garment. In figure 1 a sports garment 1 is shown which is a sports shirt or sports jacket (e. g. a hoodie jacket). The sports garment 1 has a cover section 2 which covers the upper part of the body of the wearer of the garment.
The cover section 2 is provided with two special climate zones, i. e. with a right group 10 of sections as described below and a left group 11 of those sections which are arranged basically symmetrically in the chest area of the garment 1.
The mentioned climate zones comprise respective insulating sections 3, 4, 5, 6, wherein between two adjacent sections 3, 4, 5, 6 a venting section 7, 8, 9 is arranged.
Details of the climate zones of the insulating sections 3, 4, 5, 6 and the venting sections 7, 8, 9 are shown in figures 2 to 4.
In figure 2 it can be seen that the insulating sections 3, 4, 5, 6 have a strip- shaped (lamellar) form what also applies for the shape of the venting sections 7, 8, 9. That is, the insulating sections 3, 4, 5, 6 as well as the venting sections 7, 8, 9 run parallel to another as can be seen in figure 2.
The width W of the insulating sections 3, 4, 5, 6 (measured in the plane of the cover section 2 and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L of the stripe- shaped sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) is preferably between 30 mm and 50 mm; the width w of the venting sections 7, 8, 9 is significantly smaller and preferably between 5 mm and 10 mm.
As can be seen from figure 3 a plurality of venting holes 12 is arranged in the venting section 7, 8, 9. In the depicted embodiment two rows of venting holes 12 are arranged which are located offset to another. The diameter D of the venting holes 12 is preferably between 0.5 mm and 1.0 mm.
The structure of the climate zones as described above can also be seen from figure 4. Here, the cross section A-B according figure 3 is shown. It can be seen from figure 4 that the insulating sections 3, 4, 5, 6 have a thickness T which is significant larger than the thickness t of the insulating sections 7, 8, 9. While the thickness T of the insulating sections 3, 4, 5, 6 is preferably between 3.0 and 4.0 mm, the thickness t of the venting sections 7, 8, 9 is preferably between 0.5 and 1.0 mm.
The shown structure of the climate zones and preferably the whole cover section 2 is produced in a seamless manner by a knitting process (arm sleeves and a hood can be attached to the cover section in a known manner; then a respective seam would be present). That is, a continuous structure is given for the climate zone and preferably for the whole cover section 2.
