Definitions

  • U.S. Patent Nos . 5,700,231 and 5,824,959 disclose in Figures 7-9 of each patent an embodiment where an elongated elastic element or cord is sewn directly into the fabric.
  • the cord can thereby provide more tension and give the garment greater resistance.
  • the cord can be attached to the outside of the fabric on the fabric or can be sewn in the fabric.
  • the cord can be sewn throughout the whole suit or can be located in specific locations that the user wants to create greater resistance, such as in the chest, or the legs, or shoulders, or back, etc.
  • Both patents illustrate a woven fabric strand woven around the elastic cord thereby forming a suit having a greater elasticity in the regions where the elastic cords are placed.
  • An object of this invention is to provide an energy expenditure garment which has a plurality of zones of differing resistance characteristics.
  • the zones are seamless and blend into each other.
  • the fabric used for making the body portion of the garment is a variable density fabric and the zones are adjacent to each other.
  • the invention may be practiced by incorporating a lattice weave as the anchor structure for at least one of the zones located on a limb portion of the garment.
  • the invention may also be practiced where the garment includes a shirt portion and a pants portion with the shirt portion having zones of lesser resistance than the pants portion.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view showing an energy expenditure garment in accordance with this invention
  • Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmental view showing the resistance weave characteristics in one portion of the garment of Figure 1 as indicated by the arrow;
  • Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmental view showing the resistance weave characteristics in another portion of the garment of Figure 1 as indicated by the arrow;
  • FIGS 4-5 are perspective views showing alternative garments in accordance with this invention.
  • Figure 6 is an elevational view showing the arm portion of a garment in accordance with this invention.
  • Figure 7 is a schematic diagram showing the load force on a garment in accordance with this invention.
  • FIG. 8 is a schematic drawing showing an alternative form of garment in accordance with this invention.
  • Figure 9 is a schematic view of a portion of a garment in accordance with a further feature of this invention.
  • One of the general approaches previously taken for energy expenditure garments is to utilize resistance elements or structures, such as cords or bands which are readily visible.
  • use might be made of the wide bands as part of the aesthetic appearance of the garment by having the bands of a different color than the remaining fabric.
  • the bands are sewn to the fabric the outer edges of the bands provide a clear visual line of distinction of a band with its adjacent fabric.
  • the present invention is directed to such variations where a garment includes a plurality of zones having different resistance characteristics. This is accomplished by utilizing a variable density fabric for making the garment.
  • Such variable resistance fabric permits the zones to be seamless and to blend into each other.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a garment 10 in accordance with this invention.
  • garment 10 is a full body garment having an upper portion 12 and a lower portion 14.
  • Portion 12 may be considered a shirt having arms 16, while lower portion 14 may be considered pants having legs 18.
  • a resistive loading fabric 20 extends across the back of the garment and down the arms and terminates in anchor structure 22.
  • the size and location of this fabric 20 is merely for illustrative purposes. Other sizes and locations may be used as described in the earlier patents of the inventors.
  • Figure 1 illustrates the fabric 20 to be distinct from the adjacent base fabric 24
  • all of the fabric would be made of variable density material wherein zones would be created having differing resistance characteristics in the sense that a different amount of resistance force is encountered from one zone to another when the wearer of the garment moves to stretch the variable resistance fabric and in resisting the fabric returning to its unstretched condition.
  • the zones are created by using a variable density fabric the transition from one zone to another is accomplished without having separate and distinct resistance bands, for example, which would be sewn to the base fabric.
  • the transition from one zone to another takes place by changing the characteristics in the adjacent zones so that the zones are seamless with respect to each other and blend into each other.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the variable density fabric 20 such as might be incorporated for the resistive loading area in the general portion of the garment indicated by the reference numeral 20 in Figure 1.
  • the fabric 20 includes a central zone 26 having relatively high resistance characteristics which is achieved by incorporating material such as 27% nylon for the strands or threads 28 in the warp direction.
  • the strands or threads 30 in the weft direction would be made of a material such a cotton fibers having lesser stretch characteristics than the weft thread 28.
  • the use of material such as 27% nylon/LYCRA provides a zone with relatively high resistance characteristics.
  • On each side of zone 26 is a zone 32 which incorporates thread 34 made of, for example, 18% nylon/LYCRA so as to have slightly lesser characteristics than the central zone 26.
  • each intermediate zone 32 adjacent to each intermediate zone 32 is a zone 36 having threads 38 containing no resistance material such as nylon/LYCRA.
  • the segment of fabric shown in Figure 2 thereby includes five zones where each zone is adjacent to another zone having differing resistance characteristics. Since it is simply the warp threads which affect the resistance characteristics, the transition from one zone to another takes place without any visual distinction since the zones are seamless and blend into each other.
  • the invention may also be practiced where it is the weft threads which have different resistance characteristics.
  • Figure 3 illustrates a fabric formed as a ring 39 in the garment 10.
  • the fabric includes a plurality of zones 26, 32,32 and 36,36, similar to the fabric 20.
  • Garment 10 may include as its base material fabric 24 having the characteristics of zone 36 where both the weft threads and the warp threads incorporate very little or no nylon/LYCRA.
  • variable density fabric may be made, in the broad practice of the invention, where there are only two zones.
  • the invention may also be practiced where there are more than three different resistance characteristic zones, rather than the three types of zones illustrated in Figures 2-3.
  • the invention may also be practiced where there are a plurality of adjacent zones which do not progressively increase/decrease in resistance characteristics.
  • a zone containing 27% nylon may be adjacent to a zone containing 18% nylon which in turn is adjacent to a zone containing 22% nylon.
  • Figure 4 illustrates a garment having longitudinal adjacent zones with differing resistance characteristics as indicated therein by the numerical percentages of nylon in the thread material .
  • Figure 5 illustrates a garment where the various zones take forms other than being generally longitudinal.
  • zones of differing shapes may be located in the garment adjacent to each other with differing resistance characteristics as indicated therein by the numerical percentages of the nylon material in the threads .
  • a garment could be formed which is customized for the particular needs of an individual wearer or of groups of wearers.
  • An example of such a customized garment might include zones which are oblique or at an angle rather than purely horizontal or purely vertical located in the abdominal area containing medium density nylon.
  • a purely vertical or longitudinal zone might be located to provide abdominal muscle resistance where the zone incorporates medium outer fibers with high density inner fibers providing inferior to superior lines of force.
  • the garment may also include a lower abdominal support/resistance zone having inner medium density nylon fibers with the lines of force being inferior to superior and having outer high density nylon percent fibers with the lines of force being oblique to the inner fibers.
  • the same garment could include medium density inner anterior leg zones incorporating a muscle resistance weave for exercising such muscle groups as the quadriceps.
  • the garment could include high density outer anterior leg/thigh zones coming from behind the leg for exercising various muscle groups .
  • the garment could include a zone for the breast/pectoralis muscles which would include medium to high density percent fibers at an oblique direction to provide anterior/superior force lines for exercising the breast tissue thereby increasing the blood/oxygen flow decreasing the metabolytes increasing the lymph flow, increasing the tissue drain and decreasing the cystic change.
  • the garment may include an upper body arm zone having high density nylon percent with horizontal force lines.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a feature of the invention wherein various longitudinal or vertical oriented zones 26,32,36 blend into another portion of the garment used for anchoring the zones.
  • the anchoring portion 40 is made of a lattice weave having inner medium density nylon threads 42 with oblique lines of force extending from a right to left direction. Outer medium density nylon threads 44 would have oblique lines of force extending from the left to the right direction.
  • the anchoring portion 40 might be about 4-5 inches long. When there is a longitudinal pull from the resistance zones, such as 26,32 this longitudinal pull causes a tightening of the lattice weave to provide an anchor structure.
  • Figure 6 shows the lattice weave as an anchor structure on the hand in the wrist area, such anchor structure may also be included at other locations such as the ankle.
  • Figure 1 illustrates wrist anchor structure 22 and ankle anchor structure 21 which could incorporate a lattice weave.
  • Anchor structure such as the lattice weave, could be located at any suitable portion of the garment where such anchoring is desired. Examples of such anchor structure includes the waist, knees, elbows and neck portions.
  • greater resistance material is used in the pants portion than in the shirt portion of the garment.
  • Figure 7 shows the various force vectors resulting from use of a garment incorporating zones in various locations .
  • Figure 8 shows a variation of the invention wherein, for example, zones of greater resistance characteristics such as zone 46 would be located in a selected portion of the garment as compared to zones of lesser resistance characteristics such as zone 48.
  • zones of greater resistance characteristics such as zone 46 would be located in a selected portion of the garment as compared to zones of lesser resistance characteristics such as zone 48.
  • Such a garment might, for example, have the high resistance zone or zone 46 located on only one side of the garment where for various training and/or rehabilitation purposes a particular set of muscles or particular portion of the user should have greater resistance characteristics for developing that portion of the user's body.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates how such known techniques could be incorporated into an energy expenditure or aerobic resistance garment of this invention.
  • a sensor 50 would be in electrical communication with a selected thread or threads of the garment .
  • the sensor would communicate by a conductor 52 to a microprocessor 54 which could be worn on the garment .
  • the sensor would feed information to the microprocessor so as to provide data indicating blood pressure, pulse rate, heart EKG, etc. in a known manner.
  • nylon/LYCRA resistance material for incorporation in the variable density fabric
  • other materials could be used having resistance characteristics such as a raschel/warp knit.
  • the base fabric and weft threads could be made from cotton, polyester, rayon, or other materials. The listing of specific materials is thus solely for exemplary purposes .
  • the present invention provides for the ability to customize garments for individuals or groups of individuals having common exercise or conditioning needs.
  • the invention also lends itself to varying the aesthetic appearance of the garment without being affected by the location of the different resistance zones because the resistance zones are not distinguishable from each other.
