Embodiment Construction

[0036]Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

[0037]FIG. 1 depicts a silkscreen configuration for applying an elastomeric coating to a garment. As shown in FIG. 1, a garment 100 may be placed beneath a silkscreen 101 on an area where an elastomeric coating is desired. An elastomeric coating substance 102 may be passed through screen apertures 104 of silkscreen 101 using squeegees 103, which move in the direction of arrow 105. In one embodiment, the elastomeric coating substance 102 is transferred to the garment 100 by capillary action in controlled and prescribed quantities to form an elastomeric coating 106 on the garment 100. The apertures 104 may be provided in a wide variety of patterns and squeegees 103 may be operated in a number of orientations and directions. The elastomeric coating 106 forms a three dimension (3D) structure on the garment 100. The thickness of ...

Abstract

A garment comprises a fabric and an elastomeric coating on at least a portion of at least one side of the fabric to provide designed, localized stretch and support in a garment, wherein the elastomeric coating is located where reduced stretch of the garment is desired. Garments having structures to facilitate cooling and heating are also described.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 251,354, filed Oct. 14, 2009, which is hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to garments, and more particularly, to garments having controlled stretch and designed thermal properties.[0004]2. Discussion of the Related Art[0005]Garments are often made of a material with a uniform modulus of elasticity. However, some areas of the body require more support than others. Further, some areas of the body require more control and restriction of muscle movement than others. Accordingly, there is a need for a garment with controlled stretch properties. Further, it may be desirable for a garment to aid in cooling or insulating the wearer depending on ambient conditions and the activities of the wearer. Certain garments with various means of thermal management are known in the prior art. However, these garments are often cumber...
