Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a clothing piece and a cloth structure for making it. The cloth structure includes a surface layer, a thermal storage layer, and a thermal isolation layer. The thermal storage layer absorbs heat from the person wearing the clothing, while the thermal isolation layer prevents heat from escaping. Additionally, the cloth structure may also include a heat generating layer between the thermal isolation layer and the thermal storage layer to generate heat. This invention effectively prevents heat from escaping and keeps the person warm."

Problems solved by technology

To achieve the requirement of keeping warm, a person usually wears several pieces of garments on himself or herself at the same time when the weather is cold, which usually makes that person feel awkward.
However, garments made of these warm materials are usually expensive.
Furthermore, making garments by furs is against our environment.

first embodiment

[0018]the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 2, which is a cross-sectional view of the cloth structure for making the garment 1. In this embodiment, the cloth structure comprises the surface layer 101 and two clothing layers (i.e. a thermal isolation layer 103 and a thermal storage layer 105 as shown in FIG. 2). The surface layer 101 may be made from any windproof, waterproof or insulated material.

[0019]The thermal isolation layer 103 is between the surface layer 101 and the thermal storage layer 105. The thermal isolation layer 103 has a surface facing to the thermal storage layer 105, more specifically, it is right beneath, attached or laminated the surface layer 101. The thermal isolation layer 103 is made with an Al2O3 material, an TiO2 material or a combination thereof to reflect heat off the thermal isolation layer 103. In detail, the thermal isolation layer 103 is made with any thermal reflection material that can make heat be reflected off the thermal isolation layer 1...

second embodiment

[0024]In the second embodiment, the garment 1 further comprises a heat generating layer 107 between the thermal isolation layer 103 and the thermal storage layer 105. The heat generating layer 107 may be made with stainless steel fiber, carbon fabrics, metal film or a combination thereof, and is configured to generate an amount of heat. The thermal storage layer 105 further absorbs the amount of heat generated by the heat generating layer, and the thermal isolation layer 103 further reflect the amount of heat, which is generated by the heat generating layer, off the thermal isolation layer 103.

[0025]In other words, the thermal storage layer 105 can not only absorb the heat from the person's body, but also absorb the heat generated by the heat generating layer 107. Further, the thermal storage layer 105 may radiate the absorbed heat in the way of emitting the “far-infra-red.” The thermal isolation layer 103 can not only reflect the heat radiated from the person's body, but also refle...

Abstract

A piece of clothing and a cloth structure thereof are provides. The cloth structure is used for making the piece of clothing and the piece of clothing is adapted to be worn by an object for keeping the object warm. The cloth structure comprises a surface layer, a thermal storage layer, and a thermal isolation layer. The thermal storage layer is configured to absorb heat radiated from the object when the piece of clothing is worn by the object. The thermal isolation layer is between the surface layer and the thermal storage layer and faces the thermal storage layer. The thermal isolation layer is configured to isolate heat from radiating out the thermal isolation layer.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Not applicable.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a piece of clothing and a clothe structure thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to a piece of clothing and a cloth structure for making the piece of clothing. When the piece of clothing is worn by an object, the cloth structure is able to keep the object warm.[0004]2. Descriptions of the Related Art[0005]A feature of nearly all human societies is the wearing of garments, a category encompassing a wide variety of materials that cover the body. One of the primary purposes of garments is to keep the wearer warm, which is especially important in cold climates. In some specific activities under the very cold climates, such as mountaineering or polar exploration, keeping the wearer warm is a critical requirement of garments. The garments with the formidable ability of keeping warm may be called the “cold protecti...
