Description

"Garment and method of making the same"

The invention relates to a method for producing a piece of clothing or the piece of clothing, in particular underwear, sportswear and / or swimwear piece, which at least partially comprises a textile fabric, according to the preambles of claims 1 and 12, respectively.

State of the art:

Adhesive processes in the textile sector are already known from US Pat. Nos. 4,701,964, DE 199 42 996 and GB 2 316 353. In this case, it is essentially common that an adhesive or an adhesive medium is used, which is applied and / or introduced onto the textile fabric, at least in part, in the liquid state by means of spraying, screen printing or the like. A combination of two tissue areas is carried out by chemical reaction of the single or multi-component adhesive while it solidifies in the usual way. This textile fabrics are used, which are woven in particular from threads or fibers. For example, natural fibers such as cotton, silk, etc., and / or synthetic fibers or microfibers can be used. Modern textile fabrics have just in the sports and / or swimwear area on a proportion of elastomeric fibers.

In DE 101 33 644, for example, an air-drying adhesive is used, in particular in the cured state is elastic and which is arranged substantially along the outer edge of the blank. As a result, a strengthening and strengthening of the edge regions of the textile fabric is achieved, so that a ^" stitching or missing these areas can be omitted.

In addition, with this method of reinforcement and inner areas of the garment can be provided with adhesive.

Generally, garments have a three-dimensional shape created from one or more two-dimensional blanks by joining these blanks. The connection of corresponding edge regions of the blank or of the several individual parts is comparatively complex and creates connection points which impair the wearing comfort.

Object and advantages of the invention:

The object of the invention is to provide a method for producing a piece of clothing or the item of clothing, in particular undergarment, sportswear and / or swimwear, of the type mentioned above, wherein the item of clothing is made particularly simple and a high level of comfort is achieved.

This object is achieved on the basis of a method for producing a garment or a piece of clothing of the aforementioned type, by the characterizing features of claims 1 and 12, respectively. The measures mentioned in the dependent claims advantageous embodiments and developments of the invention are possible. Accordingly, a garment according to the invention is distinguished by the fact that the three-dimensionally formed shaping region is formed substantially over the entire body circumference of a person. Respectively, this is achieved with the method according to the invention, wherein the three-dimensionally formed molding area is formed essentially over the entire body circumference of a person and in particular the three-dimensionally formed molding area is formed by deep drawing.

In this way, a one-piece and seamless molded part or even a garment can be made in certain applications, which has no joints and / or no seams.

According to the invention, the wearing comfort as well as the aesthetics of the garment are improved. This is particularly advantageous in sports and / or bath and / or underwear as well as designer fashion.

Preferably, the three-dimensionally formed molding area extends over the entire trunk circumference of a person. As a result, upper parts and / or lower parts can be produced according to the invention in an advantageous manner, which extend in an advantageous manner to the entire torso or chest, hip and / or waist.

Advantageously, the molding area is formed as a one-piece molding. This makes it possible to produce a particularly favorable embodiment. In particular, the three-dimensionally formed molding area extends substantially over the entire garment and the garment is formed integrally, for example.

In a preferred variant of the invention is at least one opening of the one-piece, three-dimensional trained - & -

Molding at least one garment ,. e.g. a collar, waistband ,, cuff, brim or the like, arranged. Advantageously, the garment is designed as a sleeve part and / or leg part. With one or more of these embodiments, any clothing pieces according to the invention can be realized which can be implemented flexibly and with the most diverse complexity. As a result, the application possibilities for garments according to the invention are enormously expanded.

In principle, a seamless item of clothing can be produced by means of the production method according to the invention. That is, no sewing is done with a sewing thread or the like. At least the marginal areas, stiffening or stabilizing zones or the like of the correspondingly produced molding area and / or item of clothing may i.a. be realized by means of an adhesive method according to DE 101 33 644 Cl.

For example, sportswear, swimwear undergarments, in particular tops, tops, shirts, brassieres or the like, can be produced with or without sleeves or leggings and / or headgear that are attached or glued or welded in particular. As a result, even bodysuits, garments covering almost the whole body such as e.g. Sports suits, especially surfing, diving, winter sports (ski jumping, cross-country skiing, downhill, ice (rapid) running suits, etc.) suits can be realized.

In addition, headgear, especially hats, balaclavas or the like can be produced in an advantageous manner according to the invention.

An advantageous variant of the invention is characterized in that a connection point, in particular at least two, three or more to be connected Fabric sections of the textile fabric, is designed or manufactured as a welded joint. With the help of this measure, the phase of joining the fabric sections is significantly shortened, sometimes to a few seconds or fractions of seconds. This significantly reduces the risk of impairment of the bonding process, so that a significant reduction of rejects is achieved in comparison to bonding which is quite possible as an alternative.

Furthermore, in contrast to the prior art, a cohesive connection of the tissue sections is realized, so that the connection advantageously has a much higher load capacity. In this way, the surface of the joint can be particularly reduced, which on the one hand improves the comfort and the aesthetics of the garment. This is particularly advantageous in sports and / or bath and / or underwear as well as designer fashion.

The welding can e.g. two edge locations of the blank and / or an edge piece of a first fabric and an inner area of a second fabric. Hereby one-piece garments and / or applications such as bags or the like can be welded onto a garment.

Conceivable is the welding of two joints or end faces of the tissue sections to be joined. As a result, no thickening of the garment is achieved by several superimposed layers, resulting in a comfortable fit.

Preferably, an overlap is provided, so that the connection surface or welding surface can be advantageously adapted to the expected load on the connection. For example, a joint is formed over a relatively large area for heavily loaded joints.

Advantageously, a spot welding and / or line welding and / or surface welding is provided.

In a particular embodiment of the invention, a welding by means of ultrasound is provided, in particular an ultrasonic transmitter or the like is provided. With ultrasound, a particularly advantageous welding of the connection medium can take place.

Preferably, the connection medium is welded in a comparatively short connection phase.

In general, essentially the connection medium can be liquefied during the welding phase, in particular by the action of heat on it. Meanwhile, the textile fabric is not substantially changed.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the connection point is pressurized.

Preferably, according to the invention almost all joints of the garment are welded, so that a seamless garment is provided.

Advantageously, the joint is at least partially formed during the welding phase in a liquid phase and before and after the welding phase in a solid phase.

In a particular embodiment of the invention, the connection point comprises an overlap region of at least two _ π -

Fabric layers. As a result, a higher stability or load capacity is achieved.

Preferably, at least one of the fabric sections is formed before the welding as an edge region of the textile fabric.

Advantageously, at least one of the fabric sections to be welded is formed as an edge region and another fabric section to be welded prior to welding as the inner region of the textile fabric. As a result, countless applications are feasible.

A particular embodiment of the invention is characterized in that a surface section of the textile fabric has at least one decorative motif formed as a UV radiation-permeable recess of the textile fabric, wherein the textile fabric at least partially or completely UV radiation at least in the edge region of the recess or the decorative motif ¬ impermeable formed. With the help of this measure, the attachment of decorative motifs with any shape on human skin is particularly easy to implement. In this case, a tanning, possibly also a reddening of the skin according to the decorative motif. The border of the decorative motif is covered by the textile fabric so that there is no tanning or reddening of the skin in these areas. The motif is deposited as a colored image of the recess of the surrounding comparatively light skin and thus easy to recognize.

The recess or the decorative motif can have any shape. For example, hearts, flowers or the like. The decorative motif is preferably designed as a logo or brand, in particular a logo, known companies or organizations, etc. This can be a special advertising effect be achieved by wearing the garment according to the invention. The logo or brand is displayed on the skin for weeks. For example, garments of the present invention may be used as giveaways or the like.

Alternatively or in combination to vorgenanten measure the decorative motif includes a lettering or the like. For example, numerous brands have corresponding, known lettering, which can be realized as a decorative motif according to the invention as a recess of the garment.

For example, the recess is provided at the edge region and / or in the interior of the item of clothing.

In principle, the recess can be formed as a positive and / or negative for producing a desired image on the human skin. This means that, on the one hand, the tanning or redness forms a desired, relatively dark motif on the skin. On the other hand, the areas covered by the textile fabric form a desired, relatively bright motif on the skin. In addition, any combination of light and dark areas on the skin can be realized, wherein the recess or the recesses according to the invention generate the decorative motif on the skin.

In general, it is advantageous by means of a connection medium that sewing or missing the edge regions of the recess can be dispensed with. This means that no sewing thread or the like is used to secure the shape of the recess or the decorative motif. This simplifies the manufacture of the garment according to the invention. In addition, even very complex recesses are relatively easy to implement. For example, the production of the recess by cutting, punching or the like. Preferably, the punching of the recess is carried out in particular in one operation with the cutting or punching of the blank for the garment.

Advantageously, a method of tanning human skin of an at least partially clothed person, in particular a person clothed with an undergarment, sportswear and / or swimwear, characterized in that the person attracts a garment according to one of the preceding claims and then ultraviolet radiation, in particular Sunlight, exposes.
