Description

clothes

The present invention relates to a garment, especially a garment worn directly on the skin, which is made from at least two different yarns.

Clothing of the type considered here mainly involves underwear or stockings. Particularly high demands are placed on these garments with regard to wearing comfort, since they are permanently in direct contact with the human skin. Therefore, the materials used to make such clothes must be made of materials that feel comfortable. At the same time, an essential requirement for clothing is that they are able to absorb perspiration from the body and nevertheless remain comfortable to wear. This is particularly the case for clothing worn during sports, since sweating increases significantly due to the numerous and simultaneously fast movements that take place here. Here the garment worn directly on the skin is covered by the garment or shoes worn over it, so that the absorbed perspiration is difficult to evaporate.

It is also known to use yarns for weaving in order to improve the properties of clothing. The smooth, unstructured rayon yarn is permanently crimped (rolled yarn) while taking full advantage of its thermoplastic properties during weaving. As a result, the yarn is constructed "almost spun" in terms of feel and appearance, its bulk is increased in order to increase heat retention and moisture absorption as well as to increase ductility and elasticity (see Brockhaus-Encyclopedia Volume 19 Printing 52 " Tep-Ur” vol. 49).

In addition, so-called fleece fabrics are known which have a piled surface or fiber sheathing on one or both sides. Terry toweling also belongs to this category of fabrics, they are mostly made of two different materials, such as polyester and wool, which are not twisted together at the same time, where loops are formed through one material (such as wool) and they protrude from the fabric and produce an irregular pile effect that is visible from both sides of the fabric (see Brockhaus-Encyclopedia Vol. 19, 7th Printing "Ex-Frt" Vol. 701). In addition, bath towels belong to the fleece fabric which consists of a base fabric with woven fleece loops. Due to the need for high water absorption, bath towels are mainly made of cotton yarn and cotton thread (Brockhaus, ibid. p. 701). Although the clothes made of the above-mentioned fabrics have relatively good hygroscopicity, the moisture is absorbed by the whole fabric, so the fabric fibers in contact with the skin are also wet, which obviously makes the wearing comfort worse. At the same time, especially with stockings made of these materials, there is a relatively high risk of blisters forming on the feet.

Here the invention will achieve the remedy. The object of the present invention is to produce a garment, in particular a garment that is worn directly on the skin, which has very good wearing comfort and which does not deteriorate even when sweating a lot. According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the skin-facing yarn has a completely closed and smooth surface and is of one-piece construction. Furthermore, this object is achieved in that the skin-facing yarn consists of a plurality of individual fibers which are combined into one fiber and have a closed and smooth surface.

The invention creates a garment, in particular a garment which is worn directly on the skin, which has very good wearing comfort. The skin-facing yarn does not absorb water due to its completely closed surface. More precisely, moisture is conducted in the direction of the yarn away from the skin and absorbed by the yarn. As a result, only the "dry" threads come into contact with the skin even when sweating heavily, thus creating the impression that the entire garment is dry. As a result, the wearing comfort is very good even during extreme sports, for example.

In a development of the invention the yarn is coated. The coating is preferably produced galvanically, which also ensures that the coating covers the entire surface of the yarn.

The coating is preferably made of silver, copper or gold. These coatings have a magnetic shielding effect. Additionally silver and copper prevent the spread of germs and kill germs. Especially on the feet, skin cells are constantly renewed. As a result, a cuticle often forms and, in the pre-phase (Vorstadium), a dead skin layer forms in which bacteria and fungus adhere. Bacteria are killed or their spread is prevented by means of the above-mentioned coatings by the metal ions contained therein. Foot odor and athlete's foot are thereby reduced. Coverings are used in underwear to reduce sweat odor. In addition, gold has antistatic effect. It does not oxidize and thus maintains good conductivity.

In a further variant of the invention, the coating is made of polytetrafluoroethylene. This material, known under the commercial name "Teflon", also exhibits good lubricity. When applied as a covering for yarns, this has the effect of significantly reducing the friction of the garment on the skin, which likewise contributes to an increase in wearing comfort.

Further developments and developments of the invention are given in the remaining subclaims. An exemplary embodiment according to the invention is shown in the drawing and described in detail below. The accompanying drawings show:

Figure 1 A small part of a garment made from two different yarns,

Figure 2 An enlarged cross-sectional view of two woven yarns with a covering, one of which is made of a single fiber,

Figure 3 Clothing in the form of socks,

Figure 4 Clothing in the form of work clothes.

The types of clothing considered here are those that come into direct contact with the skin, especially stockings and underwear. The garment is made of two different yarns, where yarn 1 faces away from the skin and is the outer layer, and yarn 2 faces the skin and is the inner layer. For the yarn 1 are generally known yarns for clothing, such as cotton, wool or the like.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 1 the skin-facing thread 2 has a completely closed and smooth surface. It is of monolithic construction, which means, in particular, that the yarn 2 consists substantially of individual fibers. Yarn 2 is substantially inelastic and braided with Yarn 1 . Here a "curled" surface is formed. Such structures may also be referred to as "rings". Yarn 2 has sufficient thickness (Dicke). The thickness is preferably 84 digital tex (digitex). The processing takes place, for example, by binding, whereby the yarn 2 is crimped. The crimped shape of the yarn 2 produces a relatively dense surface on the side facing the skin when weaving with the yarn 1 . This makes about 80 to 90% of the skin covered by the garment in contact with the yarn 2 . This results in an almost closed dry surface on the inside of the garment, especially when the yarn 1 has absorbed moisture, which contributes to a particularly comfortable wearing feeling.

In a variant the yarn 2 is made of a plurality of fibers which are twisted around each other (see FIG. 2 ). The yarn 2 is preferably produced here from individual fibers 21, which are combined to form one fiber. The fibers thus produced can likewise be woven into crimped shapes. Yarn 2, made of multiple fibers, is likewise woven with yarn 1.

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1 the yarn 2 is coated. The coating 3 is preferably realized by electroplating. The coating 3 is made of copper, silver, gold, polytetrafluoroethylene or the like. Different functions can be achieved by means of different coatings. For example, an antibacterial effect can be achieved by means of copper or silver. In contrast, the polytetrafluoroethylene coating has the effect of reducing the friction of the garment against the skin.

Coating also takes place for the multi-fiber yarn 2 of the embodiment according to FIG. 2 . The cladding 3 is also made of the aforementioned materials. In this case, on the one hand, each individual fiber 21 can be coated and then combined to form a yarn 2; on the other hand, it is also possible first to combine the fibers 21 into a yarn 2 and then to coat them.

In FIG. 3 , a sock, in particular a sock for sports, is selected as clothing by way of example. The sock consists of a foot part 4 and a sock shaft 5 . The foot part 4 has a toe region 41, a heel region 42 and a step-on region 43 between the toe and heel region.

The sock 5 has a loop 51 at its end remote from the foot part 4 . The sock 5 is provided with a pad 52 at the calf. Among them, in the illustrated example, it is a rod-shaped gasket; other types of gaskets are also possible. Padding 53 is also provided at the transition from the lower part of the tibia to the instep of the foot part. Pads can also be placed over the Achilles tendon.

Pads are generally made of rayon or composite fabric or yarn or similar material. The liner of the sock in this embodiment is made of hollow fibers wound with wool or cotton. The hollow artificial yarn is particularly effective at damping shocks and pressures.

In addition, the sock is equipped with an X-shaped cross bandage 54, which consists of an elastic air-conditioning fabric. The X-cross bandage 54 supports the ankle bone in the transition zone between the leg and the foot.

In the exemplary embodiment, an air duct 55 leads from the annular band 51, which extends as far as the footwell and is made of an air-conditioning mesh. The air channels 55 here encourage the moisture to escape upwards from the point of generation. Such an air channel 55 can also be provided on the outside of the leg of the sock.

For the sock selected, the toe region 41 , the heel region 42 and the step-on region 43 between the toe and heel regions are made from two different yarns 1 , 2 . The skin is in contact with the yarn 2 in the range of 80 to 90% through the loop structure. Since the yarn 2 plays the above-mentioned role, the structure of the locations 41 , 42 and 43 can prevent eg athlete's foot+ very well. Certainly other positions of socks also can be made of above-mentioned method.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a piece of clothing, in particular a piece of clothing worn while exercising. The garment, preferably the garment as underwear, has different climate zones, ie different materials or composite materials are distributed over the entire garment depending on the perspiration and load conditions, respectively. For example, air ducts 6 are provided, which enable better air circulation and moisture removal. In addition, padding 7 is arranged at particularly dangerous points, such as knees or elbows (not shown).

For the garment shown in FIG. 4 , the armpits 8 , the crotch region 9 and the not shown knee crooks are made from two different yarns 1 , 2 . Here too, the skin is brought into contact with the yarn 2 in the range of 80 to 90% via the loop structure. Since the yarn 2 has the above-mentioned effects, the occurrence of diseases can be well prevented by the structure of such a bacteria high-occurrence area. In addition, these sweat-prone areas also produce a comfortable wearing feeling.
