Claims 3 / 3 page 4 CN 121240793 A Textile article and method of manufacturing thereof
[0001] The present invention relates to a textile article having two layers made of an elastic material, the two layers being connected to each other by means of a connecting portion having at least two connecting sections, wherein the at least two connecting sections are spaced apart from each other, and an opening through the two layers is located between these spaced connecting sections.
[0002] The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such a textile article.
[0003] A textile article of this type is known from AT 523869 A1, which proposes a through-hole opening in the textile surface (which is, for example, part of a garment) that can be used as a pocket opening, the opening facilitating through-hole gripping and automatically returning to the state before through-hole gripping after through-hole gripping, and in this process, regardless of the type of textile surface to be gripped and in which surface area of the textile surface the through-hole opening is located.
[0004] Thus, the textile article according to the invention can also be used in principle for tightening pocket openings, but can also be used in areas such as neck openings, cuffs, etc., and for handbags, backpacks, or the like.
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a textile article of the type described above, which is easy to manufacture and meets the above requirements.
[0006] This object is achieved by a textile article having the features of claim 1.
[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing such a textile article.
[0008] This task is accomplished by a method having the features of claim 14.
[0009] Preferred but non-mandatory features and embodiments of the invention (features and embodiments may be combined in any functional way) are the subject of the dependent claims.
[0010] Advantageously, i.e. non-mandatory, the two layers are made of an elastic material that is more elastic (i.e., more easily stretched) than one or more materials in the area into which the textile article according to the invention is placed (e.g., sewn in) or attached (e.g., sewn on) (e.g., the fabric of trousers or a jacket).
[0011] A key aspect of the invention is that the connection between the two layers is less elastic than the layers themselves (i.e., less prone to stretching). Another key aspect is that the two layers are folded in the region of at least one connecting section, and this connecting section is arranged between the layers.
[0012] These measures provide the following advantages: on the one hand, the connection itself is covered behind one of the two layers; on the other hand, an opening is formed, the edges of which are less elastic than the surrounding material of the two layers, i.e., less prone to stretching. Thus, when, for example, a hand is withdrawn from the bag again, the opening reliably closes again (automatically returning to the state before the gripping), while still allowing unimpeded access to the interior of the bag, for example, by reaching into the bag with a hand, due to the higher elasticity of the surrounding layers.
[0013] Folding (or flipping) one of the two layers in the region of at least one connecting section such that, after the connection and the opening are made, one of the two layers is guided or inserted through the opening, thereby folding the layer in the region of at least one connecting section, and at least this connecting section is arranged between the layers and covered.
[0014] In this case, on the one hand, the two layers can be folded over in the entire area of the connection, so that the entire connection is arranged between the layers. Thus, the opening is fully exposed and is not covered by any layer.
[0015] On the other hand, as mentioned above, after manufacturing the connection and the opening, one of the two layers can be guided to pass completely through the opening, but only the sections of the two layers at the edge of the opening are folded over, and the other sections of one of the layers are arranged above (behind) the opening. Nevertheless, when viewed through the opening, the entire connection is still located behind the front layer, wherein the unfolded sections of the rear layer (the layer initially guided through the opening) are located behind the opening. Specification 1 / 4 page 5 CN 121240793 A
[0016] If it is necessary for the opening to be completely or partially covered by one of the two layers, according to the invention, one of the two layers can also be folded on one side of the opening or on the two opposite sides of the opening, and the folded edge area is placed completely or partially above the opening.
[0017] Thus, this embodiment of the invention is particularly suitable for situations where the opening is not linear but planar, and one side should be completely or partially covered.
[0018] Within the scope of this specification, terms such as “above” or “in front” and “below” or “behind” the opening are essentially synonymous, since whether something is located “above,” “below,” “behind,” or “in front” of the opening is merely a matter of perspective.
[0019] For the connecting portion, there are various embodiments according to the invention for manufacturing the connecting portion, which can also be arbitrarily combined with each other within a reasonable range: —The connecting section (with the opening located between the connecting sections) extends along two parallel, non-connecting lines, or along two parallel lines reinforced or connected at the ends by additional means.
[0020] —The connecting section (with the opening located between the connecting sections) extends along a closed line, which is, for example, an n-sided, rectangular, triangular, hexagonal, octagonal, trapezoidal, semi-circular, circular, elliptical, or rounded line.
[0021] —The connecting section (with the opening located between the connecting sections) extends along parallel lines, and the opening has the shape of a line; optionally, a circle or other geometric shape is stamped at the end of the opening to avoid tearing.
[0022] —The connecting section (with the opening located between the connecting sections) extends along a closed line, and the area surrounding the opening is removed at a small interval from the connecting portion.
[0023] —The portion of the layer above the opening can be reinforced, for example by stitching, fusion of plastic (e.g., rubber), additional tape, additional fabric, or by wire or plastic sewn along the lip or side of the portion of the layer above the opening.
[0024] In this way, openings of different shapes can be made, which have the characteristics according to the invention and are not covered, completely covered, or only partially covered.
[0025] For the connection, there are various embodiments according to the invention for manufacturing the connection, which can be combined with each other within reasonable limits and can be combined with the above embodiments: —The connection is manufactured by intermittent or spot ultrasonic welding or by fusion of a flexible layer (e.g., rubber strip) between flat parts.
[0026] —The connection is manufactured by a stitch with flexible thread or one or more individual short stitches, wherein the single stitch or short stitch is generally less elastic than the elasticity of the layer.
[0027] —The connection is reinforced using elastic bands, which are loosely wrapped around the connection or connected to the connection, for example by fusion.
[0028] —The connection is reinforced by connecting a flexible thin layer to one of the layers in the area where the connection is to be formed before joining, for example by fusing plastic, for example, in a dotted or planar manner, onto one of the layers.
[0029] In this way, the elastic properties of the connection can be precisely adapted to the corresponding needs.
[0030] To stabilize the textile article, in an improvement of the invention, these layers can be joined to each other at their outer edges.
[0031] The layers of the article according to the invention can be made of any elastic fabric, but preferably, the layers are manufactured using a knitting process, because these fabrics have the advantage of not exhibiting "yarn slippage".Instruction manual, pages 2 / 4, CN 121240793 A
[0032] In this invention, the opening can be manufactured specifically by cutting, laser cutting, ultrasonic cutting, or stamping, wherein other segmentation methods are of course also possible.
[0033] Although in this invention, it is preferred that the connecting portion is manufactured first and then the opening is manufactured in the method of manufacturing the textile article according to the invention, in principle the opening can also be manufactured first in the layers and then the connecting portion is manufactured between the layers.
[0034] Other features and advantages of the invention will emerge from the following description of preferred embodiments of the invention, which do not limit the scope of protection, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 shows two unconnected layers made of textile fabric for manufacturing a textile article according to the invention; Figure 2 shows two layers in a connected state with linear openings; Figure 3 shows a textile article passing through the layers via the openings; Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional view of a textile article with the layers fully folded over; Figure 5 shows a cross-sectional view of a textile article with the layers only partially folded over; Figure 6 shows a top view of a textile article in the state of Figure 5; Figure 7 shows a top view of another embodiment of a textile article according to the invention; Figure 8 shows a cross-sectional view of yet another embodiment of a textile article according to the invention; and Figure 9 shows a cross-sectional view of yet another embodiment of a textile article according to the invention.
[0035] The accompanying drawings illustrate embodiments of textile articles according to the invention, but these embodiments are merely exemplary, and many components may be implemented in different ways within the scope of the invention, in addition to the features defined in the claims, without being specifically mentioned below. In particular, the components and features described in the various embodiments of the invention may be arbitrarily combined with each other, even if not explicitly mentioned in every possible case.
[0036] In particular, method technical features may also be related to the textile article itself, and vice versa.
[0037] In Figure 1, a first layer 1 and a second layer 2 made of an elastic textile material (e.g., knitted fabric) are shown, with the second layer 2 shown as dots for illustrative purposes. The two layers 1 and 2 may be the same or different in size and may be made of different materials.
[0038] In Figure 2, the two layers 1 and 2 are shown stacked on top of each other, wherein they are connected to each other by a connecting portion 3. In the illustrated embodiment, the connecting portion 3 consists of two connecting sections 4 and 5 that extend along parallel lines and are connected to each other at their ends by arc-shaped connecting sections 6 and 7.
[0039] As shown in the embodiment of Figure 2, the connecting portion 3 may be a dot-matrix ultrasonically welded connection, but it may also be a continuous welded connection or a conventional stitch or the like.
[0040] There is an opening 8 between the two parallel connecting sections 4 and 5, which also extends along a line and can be manufactured, for example, by mechanical cutting with scissors or a knife, laser cutting, ultrasonic cutting, or stamping.
[0041] Figure 3 shows how layer 1 is inserted through opening 8. When the two layers 1 and 2 are subsequently aligned parallel to each other again, they will be in the position shown in the cross-sectional view in Figure 4, where all connecting sections of the connecting portion 3 (only connecting sections 4 and 5 are visible) are located between layers 1 and 2, which is achieved by folding the two layers 1 and 2 in the area of connecting sections 4 and 5 (and connecting sections 6 and 7 not shown in Figure 4).
[0042] Figures 5 and 6 show another arrangement of layers 1 and 2 according to the invention, in which, in this embodiment, only layer 1 (the front or upper layer in Figures 5 and 6) is folded in connecting region 5, while both layers 1 and 2 are folded in connecting region 4. The second (rear) layer 2 is folded along edge 9 in the area adjacent to the connecting section 5, so that layer 2 is located behind the opening 8 (see page 3 / 4 of specification, CN 121240793 A) and covers the opening 8 from behind.
[0043] The position of the rear layer 2 shown in FIG5 can be achieved by first achieving the position shown in FIG4, and then flipping the left section 11 back under the right section 12 by folding layer 2 along edge 9; or by initially flipping only the right section 12 under the upper layer 1 and folding layer 2 along edge 9.
[0044] FIG7 shows another embodiment of the textile article according to the invention, which has an opening 13, in which the opening 13 is substantially circular and is cut from the two layers 1, 2 at small intervals with the connecting sections 14, 15, 16, 17.
[0045] The embodiment of FIG. 7 is somewhat similar to the embodiments of FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, but in which not only one segment of the lower layer 2, but two segments 11 and 12 are folded along the edges 9 and 10 toward the opening 13, and respectively cover half of the opening 13 from the back.
[0046] In this embodiment, the upper layer 1 is folded in all the connecting segments 14, 15, 16, and 17, while the lower layer 2 is folded only in the arcuate connecting segments 14 and 15, but not in the areas 16 and 17 between the corresponding edges 9 and 10.
[0047] In the embodiment of FIG. 8 (which substantially corresponds to the embodiment of FIG. 4), layers 1 and 2 are additionally connected to each other at their circumferential outer edges 18 to stabilize the textile.
[0048] Similarly, in the embodiment of FIG. 9 (which substantially corresponds to the embodiments of FIG. 5 and FIG. 6), layers 1 and 2 are additionally connected to each other at their outer edges 19 to stabilize the textile.Reference Marking Table
