Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention describes a shirt with a front top surface and a back top surface, which are sewn together in the area of ​​the shoulders and along the torso by connecting seams, wherein a shirt collar and two sleeves are sewn on running between the front top surface and the back top surface and the front top surface comprises at least one piece of fabric, as well as the use of a one-piece knitted fabric section in the form of a seamless knit, as part of the back top surface of a shirt. State of the art

[0002] Dress shirts comprise several textile components, such as a collar, a front panel, a back panel, and two sleeves. Cuffs may be added to the sleeves, and one or more pockets may be found on the front. These dress shirts are worn with suits and are generally made to measure or available in a wide range of sizes. These shirts, also known as business shirts, are made from woven fabrics, resulting in the familiar dress shirt shape. The fabrics used are typically inflexible, as they are considered non-elastic. The cut in the torso area, i.e., the front and back panels, is often problematic.Even if the collar size of a dress shirt is correct for a majority of wearers, the necessary cut of the front and back panels differs considerably because the torso of different shirt wearers varies significantly, especially in the transverse plane of the body. Previously, the patterns for the front and back panels had to be available in different dimensions, even with constant sleeve lengths, to produce properly fitted dress shirts. Document GB1295638A discloses a dress shirt with a front piece of woven fabric and a knitted back piece. Description of the invention

[0003] The disadvantages described above, which are known from the prior art, are to be eliminated by the present dress shirt.

[0004] The present invention aims to create a dress shirt in the form of a business shirt, worn with a suit and tie (including special types of dress shirts, such as tailcoat and tuxedo shirts), such that a fit for as many clothing sizes as possible can be achieved with only a few patterns of different sizes for a front and back panel. The production of such dress shirts can thus be significantly simplified, and distribution becomes less complicated, since fewer sizes need to be offered, yet every user can still find a suitable dress shirt.

[0005] This task is fulfilled by a dress shirt with the features of claim 1.

[0006] Variations in feature combinations or minor adjustments to the shirt or back surface can be found in the detailed description, further increase the wearing comfort of the shirts through climate-regulating effects and have been included in the dependent patent claims. Brief description of the drawings

[0007] The invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Necessary features, details, and advantages of the invention will become apparent from this subsequent description, which also includes a preferred embodiment of the invention and some additional or optional features. Figure 1a shows a perspective view of the front of a men's outerwear shirt, while Figure 1bne shows a perspective view of the back of the men's outerwear shirt according to Figure 1a shows. Description

[0008] According to the invention, a shirt 1 is described here using the example of a men's outerwear shirt 1 for business use, with a front cover surface I and a back cover surface II, which are connected along a shoulder seam 12 and a side seam 13 along the torso.

[0009] All top surfaces I and II are typically made of woven fabrics of various known materials and sewn together. The shirt 1 has a connecting strip 14, in particular in the form of a button placket 14, on the front top surface I or the back top surface II, which allows the shirt 1 to be closed. A shirt collar 15, in various designs, forms an opening and is sewn to top surfaces I and II. Top surfaces I and II each have an inner surface 10, which faces the wearer's skin when worn, and an outer surface 11. Sleeves 16 are attached to top surfaces I and II by means of sleeve seams 160, with additional cuffs 17 also arranged on the sleeves 16.

[0010] The shoulder area, here encompassing the shoulder seam 12, extends from the shirt collar 15 to the sleeve 16 or the sleeve seam 160. The shoulder seam 12 connects the front and back top surfaces I and II. When the shirt 1 is worn, the shoulder area runs from the wearer's neck along a portion of the trapezius muscle to the shoulder muscle or the shoulder joint. Below the shirt collar 15, downwards towards the wearer's buttocks, a knitted fabric section 2 extends as part of the back top surface II. The knitted fabric section 2 runs from below the shirt collar 15, spanning the shoulder area between the wearer's neck and shoulder joint, and lies against the wearer's skin, which in Figure 1b The knitted textile section 2 is designed as a knitted fabric, which, unlike a woven fabric, is elastic.

[0011] The knitted fabric section 2 is attached here by sewing, running between the shirt collar 15 and the sleeves 16. The existing seams shoulder seam 12, side seam 13, sleeve seam 160 and a seam to the shirt collar 15 can be used for this purpose.

[0012] The knitted fabric section 2, as part of the back cover surface II, preferably runs in a shoulder / arm section, between the shirt collar 15 and at the level of the attached sleeves up to the connecting seams, and is made of an elastic knitted fabric. The height of the knitted fabric section 2 is at least ¼ of the height H of the armhole of the sleeve 16. Figure 1b The height of knitted fabric section 2 is approximately half the height H of the armhole. The height H of the armhole is the maximum distance between the furthest points of the armhole.

[0013] To avoid skin irritation and to achieve the desired effect optimally, the knitted textile section 2 is designed as a seamless knit fabric made from at least one type of yarn. A ribbed structure made from a dark base textile 21 is particularly preferred. Figure 1b The knitted fabric section 2 is lined with projecting textile ribs 20. These ribs can be located on the inside of the knitted fabric section 2, thus facing the wearer's skin, or they can be arranged in the opposite direction. The ribs are created using a suitable knitting technique, with the projecting ends of the ribs 20 being visibly spaced from the base fabric 21. Knitting techniques or patterns by which a knitted fabric section 2 with a ribbed structure can be created from a base fabric 21 and a plurality of ribs 20 are known to those skilled in the art.

[0014] Such a knitted fabric, known as "seamless," with a ribbed structure and multiple textile ribs (20), exhibits significant elasticity, ranging from at least 10% to 40% in one direction, depending on the knitting pattern. In particular, the elasticity can even be between 50% and approximately 100%. Accordingly, it is referred to as an elastic knitted fabric, which has an elasticity of at least 10% in one direction. The elastic knitted fabric is constructed in at least a single layer. The knitted textile section (2) provides increased wearing comfort, allowing the shirt (1) to conform, at least partially, to the wearer's body contours.

[0015] The knitted fabric section 2 is stretchable to a defined degree. Due to its stretchability and its integration into the back cover surface II, the knitted fabric section 2 can conform to the skin. Preferably, the knitted fabric section 2 is attached, in particular sewn, to the shirt collar 15 or a collar seam and to the sleeve 16, specifically to the sleeve seam 160. However, the knitted fabric section 2 can also form the entire surface of the back cover surface II.

[0016] The knitted textile section 2 is knitted in one or more layers and preferably comprises a knitting yarn made of various synthetic and / or natural fibers. The knitted textile section 2 can also replace the entire back cover surface II, resulting in a knitted back cover surface II.

[0017] To further increase wearing comfort, the knitted textile section 2, which is designed as an elastic knit as described above, also features a knitted climate zone that runs parallel to the wearer's spine when worn.

[0018] This climate zone, running centrally along knitted textile section 2, is in Figure 1bNot shown, but does not extend across the entire width of the knitted textile section 2 between the opposing sleeves 16, instead overlapping the wearer's spine by up to ten centimeters. The knitting pattern in the climate zone differs from the knitting pattern of the rest of the knitted textile section 2, not only in color or yarn. The knitting pattern is chosen to have a climate-regulating effect, i.e., improved ventilation and / or improved moisture transport or improved thermal insulation in the area of ​​the wearer's spine during the day. Preferably, the knitting pattern of the climate zone is coarser, i.e., it has larger free spaces between the knitted stitches than the knitting pattern of the rest of the knitted textile section. These larger spaces allow moisture and / or air to be transported away more easily.It is also possible to use a tighter knit pattern in the climate zone, which improves moisture absorption and wicks it away from the body. These climate-regulating properties of the climate zone are achieved due to the different knit pattern compared to knitted section 2, although the same yarn can be used. The climate zone is always positioned away from the sleeve seams 160 and runs from the shirt collar 15 along knitted section 2, approximately parallel to the spine. While knitted section 2 can have a relatively smooth knit and still be sufficiently elastic, the climate zone has a different knit pattern. This allows the climate zone to be positioned further away from the wearer's skin than the rest of knitted section 2, thus maximizing its climate-regulating effect. Reference symbol list
