Description

Garment with zipper arrangement

The invention relates to a garment with a clothing upper part, a first clothing base and a zipper arrangement, wherein the

Zipper assembly disposed in a body portion of the garment, and configured to releasably connect the garment upper part and the first garment bottom.

Garments that are constructed of several garment steep and have zippers to steeply connect the clothing or separate from each other are well known. For example, certain hiking pants have zippers on the

Trouser legs, which allow a wearer of the trekking pants to wear them as long trousers or as shorts, by cutting off a part of the trouser legs. Furthermore, jackets with detachable sleeves, or overalls with separable tops and

Divide known. The zippers allow a modular construction of the

Garment and expand its range of use.

DE 10 2005 023 340 AI discloses, for example, a garment which has several releasably interconnected clothing steep.

A disadvantage has proved in such constructions that the appearance of the garment is adversely affected by the zippers used. These cause, for example, a thickening of the garment at the position of the respective zipper, and are partly in, from the point of a fashionable

Appearance of the garment, unfavorable locations such as the trunk area or in particular the waist visibly arranged. Another disadvantage is that garments with zipper assemblies according to the prior art provide only very limited combination options of the various garments. If, for example, a clothing upper part and a clothing lower part are combined, which have another zipper (usually vertical) or a button arrangement for opening the clothing part at an opening slit on the front or back of the garment, both the clothing upper part and the clothing lower part at the separation point of Zipper arrangement

Have opening slot, which makes it possible to put the garment on and off. Furthermore, the zipper arrangements on such garments lead to a deterioration of the wearing comfort. In addition, the zipper assembly has the disadvantage that the detachment and bonding of the individual garments to the wearer are cumbersome and often only performed on the draped garment can. In particular, in the field of women's clothing is a diverse combination of different clothing steep with different appearances and a detachable connection in the trunk desirable, although the above-mentioned disadvantages come with such garments to bear particularly strong.

The invention has for its object to provide a garment which avoids the disadvantages of the above-mentioned constructions.

According to the invention, the object is achieved in that the zipper arrangement has a first zipper top half and a second zipper top half which are configured to substantially fully circulate the top of the garment in successive portions in the opening directions thereof, and a first zipper bottom half and a second zipper bottom half are formed, the first lower clothing part in substantially continuous in the opening directions of successive sections, and wherein the first zipper upper half substantially completely with the first

Zippered bottom half is formed connectable to a first zipper, and wherein the second zipper top half is formed substantially completely connectable to the second zipper lower half to a second zipper.

The embodiment of the garment according to the invention provides a split

Zipper arrangement with two zips, which circumscribe the garment in the trunk area in sections. As a result, no single circumferential zipper is provided, as known from the prior art, which the

Clothing upper part connects with the clothing base, but causes a split on two zippers. For example, a first zipper is guided from the center of a front side of the garment on one side of the waist of the wearer of the garment to the center of a back, and a second zipper

Zip on the same height of the first zipper from the middle of the

Front of the garment on the opposite side of the waist to the middle of the back. As a result, the advantage is achieved that this two-part design of the zipper arrangement allows different clothing tops and

Clothing bottoms combine with each other regardless of whether the

Clothing upper part or the clothing base at the front or at the back of the garment has an opening slot. For example, this embodiment allows a combination of a blouse, which is front to open, with a skirt, which has a rear opening slot. Another advantage is that the two-part design of the zipper arrangement avoids that a single Zipper slider for opening or closing must be completely guided around the garment, which requires a cumbersome grasping behind the back of the wearer. This causes a particularly pleasant operation. It is particularly advantageous in this case that the upper clothing part and the lower clothing part can be easily connected even when tightened.

Advantageous embodiments of the garment according to the invention, and alternative embodiments, will be explained in more detail with reference to the figures.

FIG. 1 shows a garment according to the invention with a garment upper part and a first garment bottom part in a back view.

Figure 2 shows a further embodiment variant of the garment according to the invention with a clothing upper part in a front view, and a first lower clothing part and a second clothing lower part in a back view.

Figure 3 shows the garment according to the invention with a clothing upper part and a first lower clothing part, which are provided with fabric bottles in one

Front view.

FIG. 4 shows a section of a first clothing base with a first one

Zipper lower half and a second zipper lower half, each with a zipper slider.

FIG. 1 shows a garment 1 according to the invention in a schematic front view with a garment upper part 2, a first garment bottom part 3 and a front

Zipper assembly 4. The zipper assembly 4 is disposed in a body portion of the garment 1 and releasably interconnects the garment upper 2 with the first garment bottom 3, and in Figure 1, the zipper assembly 4 is shown in an opened condition. The upper clothing part 2 is thus not connected to the first lower clothing part 3 in FIG. The zipper arrangement 4 has a first zipper top half 5 and a second zipper top half 6, which essentially completely surround the upper part 2 of the clothing in sections which follow each other in their opening directions. Furthermore, the

Zipper assembly 4 has a first zipper bottom half 7 and a second zipper bottom half 8 which substantially completely revolve the first garment bottom 3 in successive portions in the opening directions thereof. The first zipper top half 5 is substantially completely connectable to the first zipper bottom half 7 to form a first zipper, and the second zipper top half 6 is substantially completely connectable to the second zipper bottom half 8 to form a second zipper, whereby Clothing upper part 2 and the first lower clothing part 3 can be releasably connected to each other. The opening directions describe those directions in which the first zipper or the second zipper are opened. The

Sectional arrangement of the first zipper top half 5 and the second zipper top half 6 on the clothing upper part 2, as well as the first

The zipper bottom half 7 and the second zipper bottom half 8 on the first garment bottom 3 effect a division of the zipper assembly 4 onto the first zipper and the second zipper. This achieves the advantage that when opening and closing the zipper arrangement 4 is not a single

Zipper completely around the garment 1 must be performed, but the first zipper and the second zipper can be opened and closed individually. These only need to be guided halfway around the garment 1, whereby the advantage is achieved that optimum ease of use and optimum handling of the zipper arrangement 4 are achieved. It is particularly advantageous that the inventive design of the zipper assembly 4 the

Clothing upper part 2 with the first clothing base 3 can also be easily connected in the attracted state.

Figure 2 shows a preferred embodiment of the garment 1 according to the invention in a schematic view, the garment 1 additionally comprises the embodiment shown in Figure 1, a second garment bottom part 9. The

Zipper assembly 4 connects in this embodiment, the clothing upper part 2 with the first lower clothing part 3 and the second lower clothing part 9 releasably to each other. For this purpose, the zipper arrangement 4 comprises a third

Zipper top half 10 and a fourth zipper top half 11, the garment upper part 2 in successive in their opening directions sections parallel and spaced from the first zipper top half 5 and the second

Zipper top half 6 substantially completely circulate. In addition, the zipper assembly 4 comprises a third zipper bottom half 12 and a fourth zipper bottom half 13 which substantially completely revolve the second bottom portion 9 in successive portions in their opening directions. In their opening directions successive sections here is to be understood that the zipper halves are arranged at the same height of the garment 1 and in the opening direction one behind the other. As a result, an additional row of zipper top halves 10 and 11 are provided on the garment upper 2 which are spaced from and parallel to the first zipper top half 5 and the second zipper top half 6. The third

Zipper top half 10 is substantially complete with the third Zipper bottom half 12 connectable to a third zipper, and the fourth zipper top half 11 is substantially complete with the fourth

Zipperunterteil half 13 connectable to a fourth zipper. The

Extension of the zipper assembly 4 around the third zipper and the fourth zipper allows the detachable connection of the second garment bottom 9 with the garment 1. This achieves the advantage that an even greater range of different appearance images of the garment 1 by different

Combinations of the garment upper part 2 with different first garment bottoms 3 and second garment bottoms 9 is made possible. The spacing of the third zipper top half 10 and the fourth top half zipper 11 from the first zipper top half 5 and the second zipper top half 6 provides the advantage that the zippers of the zipper assembly 4 do not overlap one another. This advantageously increases the wearing comfort of the garment 1 and improves the visual appearance by maintaining a slim

Waist area of the garment 1.

In the preferred embodiment, the first zipper and the second zipper in the opening direction of the first zipper or the second

Zipper offset to the third zipper and fourth zipper arranged. This ensures that the zippers of the zipper assembly 4, do not end at immediately adjacent positions. This has the advantage that the ends of the zippers do not abut each other, whereby the wearing comfort of the garment 1 is increased.

It is particularly preferred that the first zipper and the second zipper have opposite opening directions. As a result, the advantage is achieved that the zipper assembly 4 of the garment 1 is particularly easy to handle.

In the embodiment of the garment 1 according to the invention with the second

Garment bottom 9 have the first zipper and the second zipper, as well as the third zipper and the fourth zipper in the preferred

Variant opposite directions on opening. As a result, the advantage is achieved that the zipper assembly 4 of the garment 1, even when using a second clothing base 9, is particularly easy to handle.

FIG. 1 illustrates a back side of the garment 1, and in FIG. 2, the first one

Clothing base 3 and the second clothing base 9 each shown in a back view. The clothing upper part 2 of Figure 2 is shown in a front view. The Garment 1 has, in addition to the front side, a corresponding back side, and the first zipper and the second zipper extend substantially centrally from the front, starting centrally to the rear side. As a result, the advantage is achieved that for opening the zipper assembly 4, the first zipper and the second

Zipper from the front of the garment 1 are each guided to the back of the garment 1, whereby the ease of use is increased.

In the embodiment variant of the article of clothing 1 according to the invention with the second clothing lower part 9 shown, the first zipper and the second zipper, as well as the third zipper and the fourth zipper run in the

Essentially centrally from the front, starting centrally to the rear. This achieves the advantage that, in order to open the zipper arrangement 4, the third zipper and the fourth zipper are additionally guided from the front of the garment 1 to a back side of the garment 1, whereby the zipper arrangement 4

Ease of use is guaranteed even when using a second clothing base 9.

FIG. 3 shows the item of clothing 1 according to the invention in the embodiment variant according to FIG. 2, without the second item of clothing bottom 9. The item of clothing 1 shown in FIG. 3 has substance bottles 14 which receive the zipper arrangement 4. The

Fabric bottles 14 have an outer panel 15 and an inner panel 16, which form the fabric bottles 14. The zippers of the zipper arrangement 4 are arranged between the outer panels 15 and the inner panels 16, whereby the fabric bottles 14 receive the zipper arrangement 4. Thus, the zipper assembly 4 is accessible at all times. The outside

Fabric panels 15 are shown in Figure 3 in a folded back state, whereby the zipper assembly 4 is visible. This arrangement offers the advantage that the

Zipper assembly 4 is covered by the fabric bottles 14, and thus an attractive appearance of the garment 1 is achieved. For aesthetic reasons, the outer panels 16 may also, as shown in Figure 3, be folded away to make the zipper assembly 4 visible. By the inner panels 16 the advantage is achieved that the zipper assembly 4 does not press directly on the skin of a wearer of the garment 1, and thus is barely noticeable. This ensures optimum wearing comfort.

FIG. 4 shows a section of the first clothing base 3 in a preferred embodiment

Embodiment variant, with the first zipper lower half part 7 and the second Zipper lower half 8, which each have a zipper slider 17.

Analogous to the first lower clothing part 3 shown in FIG. 4, in a preferred embodiment variant of the second clothing lower part 9, the third one

Zipper lower half 12 and the fourth zipper lower half 13 each have a zipper slider 17.

The zipper slides 17, which serve to connect the first zipper and the second zipper, respectively the third zipper and the fourth zipper, are always present on the first garment bottom 3 and the second garment bottom 9 in the preferred embodiment of the garment 1. The zipper slider 17 are connected to grips 18, which serve to better attack the zipper slider 17 can. By the arrangement of the zipper slider 17 on the first clothing base 3 and the second

Garment bottom part 9 has the advantage that the zipper slider 17 and its handle pieces 18 are always covered by the fabric bottles 14. In an arrangement on the clothing upper part 2, these would hang out of the fabric bottles 14 visible and affect the appearance of the garment 1 negative.

According to the preferred embodiment, the zipper assembly 4 is elastic. Due to the elasticity of the zipper arrangement 4, the advantage is achieved that it expands under tension. This results in the wearer of the garment 1 no feeling of tightness at the waist when wearing, which is particularly advantageous in combination with the split zipper.

A further advantage of the garment 1 according to the invention is that the separation of the zipper arrangement 4 into two or four zippers makes it possible to combine different sizes of the garment upper part 2, the first garment bottom part 3 and the second garment bottom part 9. Various clothing sizes of the garment upper 2, the first garment bottom 2 and the second

Garment bottoms 9 cause a portion of the first zipper and the second zipper, respectively the third zipper and the fourth zipper to remain unlocked due to different lengths of the zipper top halves 5, 6, 10 and 11 and the zipper bottom halves 7, 8, 12 and 13. However, these sections are covered by the fabric bottles 14 and are therefore not visible. Due to the easy interchangeability and combinability of different

Garment tops 2, first garment bottoms 3 and second garment bottoms 9 of different sizes and designs will also allow a variety of different appearances for the garment 1. Separate

Garments that are damaged or soiled can thus easily be replaced. Furthermore, eliminates the need to run as a body

Clothing upper part 2 to wear in order to ensure an optimal fit in combination with different first clothing bottoms 3 and / or second clothing bottoms 9. It is particularly advantageous that thus also a complicated arrival and

Taking off bodysuits is no longer necessary.

In the case of the item of clothing 1 according to the invention, it is particularly advantageous that a clothing upper part 2 to be opened at the front can be combined with a first clothing base 3 or second clothing base 9 to be opened at the rear. This opens up new hitherto impossible combinations. According to another

Embodiment of the invention, it would also be possible to combine two garment tops 2 with only a first garment bottom 3 or second garment bottom 9 by a zipper assembly. Within the scope of the inventive concept, three or more garment tops 2 with a first lower garment part 3 and / or second lower garment part 9 or three or more first garment bottoms 3 and / or second garment bottoms 9 with a garment upper part 2 could be detachably connected together by means of a respective zipper arrangement.

Furthermore, the garment 1 according to the invention offers the advantage that different garment tops 2 and first garment bottoms 3 and second respectively

Garment bottoms 9 different colors can be washed separately. Thus, washing of multi-colored garments 1 is prevented. This is particularly advantageous in, for example, two-tone women's dresses.
