Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention describes a shirt having a front covering panel and a back covering panel, the front and back covering panels being sewn together by seams in the shoulder region and along the torso, wherein the shirt collar and both sleeves are sewn between the front and back covering panels, and wherein the front covering panel comprises at least one fabric piece of textile material. The invention also describes the use of a single piece of knitted fabric in the form of a seamless knitted fabric as part of the back covering panel of the shirt. Background Art

[0002] A shirt comprises a plurality of separate fabric parts, such as a collar, a front or front covering, a back or back covering, and two sleeves. Cuffs may be provided on the sleeves, and one or more pockets may be provided on the front. The shirt is worn with a suit and is typically made to order or available in a variety of sizes. Business shirts are also known; these familiar shirts are made of textile surfaces sewn together to form the familiar shirt shape. The fabric surfaces used are generally not flexible because the base fabric of the fabric surfaces is not believed to be elastic. Often, tailoring in the torso region (i.e., the front and back) is problematic. Even if the collar size of a shirt is correct for most wearers, the torsos of different shirt wearers vary significantly (especially in the transverse plane of the body), so the necessary tailoring of the front and back varies greatly. Previously, the patterns on the front and back had to be of different sizes to create a well-fitting shirt while the sleeve length was constant. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The shirt presented herein eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages of the known prior art.

[0004] The object of the present invention is to produce shirts in the form of business shirts to be worn with a suit and tie (including special types of shirts, tuxedo shirts and dinner shirts) in such a way that only a few patterns of different sizes on the front and back are required to make the shirts fit as many clothing sizes as possible. Thus, the production of the shirts can be significantly simplified, and distribution becomes less complicated, since fewer shirt sizes must be chosen and each user can find a suitable shirt.

[0005] This object is achieved by a shirt comprising a front covering surface and a back covering surface, the front covering surface and the back covering surface being sewn together in the shoulder area and along the torso by seams, wherein a shirt collar and two sleeves are sewn between the front covering surface and the back covering surface, and the front covering surface comprises at least one fabric piece made of textile material, the back covering surface being formed in the shoulder / arm area between the shirt collar and at least one quarter of the height of the sleeve cutting surface of the sleeves by an elastic knitted fabric, the elastic knitted fabric forming a knitted fabric portion, wherein the knitted fabric portion is selected by selecting the knitting pattern and / or the material of the knitting yarn so that the knitted fabric portion can be stretched by 10% to 40% in at least one direction, and a knitted adjustment zone having a knitting pattern different from the knitting pattern of the knitted fabric portion is knitted into the knitted fabric portion parallel to the spine of the wearer of the shirt when the shirt is worn.

[0006] Variations in the combination of features or minor adjustments to the shirt or back further increase the wearing comfort of these shirts by providing an adjustment effect; variations in the combination of features or minor adjustments to the shirt or back are described in detail below and are incorporated into the appended claims. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0007] The subject matter of the invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The essential features, details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description, which details a preferred embodiment of the invention and several additional or optional features.

[0008] Figure 1a A perspective view of the front of a men's outerwear shirt is shown, and

[0009] Figure 1b Show the basis Figure 1a perspective view of the back of a men's outerwear shirt. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0010] A shirt 1 is described herein by way of example, and is exemplified by a men's outerwear shirt 1 for business use, having a front covering panel I and a rear covering panel II, which are connected in a guiding manner along shoulder seams 12 and along side seams 13 of the torso.

[0011] All covering panels I and II are typically made of textile fabrics of various known materials and are sewn together. Shirt 1 herein has connecting openings 14, through which shirt 1 can be fastened. These openings are specifically in the form of button openings 14 on either the front or rear covering panels I and II. A shirt collar 15 forms an opening of various configurations and is sewn to covering panels I and II. Covering panels I and II each have an inner surface 10, which, when worn, directly faces the wearer's skin, and an outer surface 11. Sleeves 16 are attached to covering panels I and II via sleeve seams 160, and additional cuffs 17 are provided on sleeves 16.

[0012] The shoulder region (including the shoulder seam 12 in this case) extends from the shirt collar 15 to the sleeve 16 or sleeve seam 160. The shoulder seam 12 connects the front covering surface I with the back covering surface II. When the shirt 1 is worn, the shoulder region extends from the wearer's neck along the trapezius muscle portion to the shoulder muscle or shoulder joint. The knitted fabric portion 2 extends downward below the shirt collar 15 toward the rear wearer's hips to serve as part of the back covering surface II. The knitted fabric portion 2 extends from below the shirt collar 15 across the wearer's shoulder area between the neck and the shoulder joint and lies on top of the wearer's skin, as shown in FIG. Figure 1b The knitted fabric portion 2 is in the form of a knitted fabric, which is distinct from a textile material and which has elasticity.

[0013] The knitted fabric portion 2 extending between the shirt collar 15 and the sleeves 16 is attached by sewing. Existing seams can be used, namely the shoulder seams 12, the side seams 13, the sleeve seams 160 and the seams of the shirt collar 15.

[0014] The knitted fabric portion 2 as part of the rear covering surface II preferably extends to the seam in the shoulder / sleeve section at the level of the shirt collar 15 and the sleeves on the seams and is formed of elastic knitted fabric. The height of the knitted fabric portion 2 is at least 1 / 4 of the height H of the sleeve cutting surface of the sleeve 16. Figure 1b In the embodiment, the height of the knitted fabric portion 2 is approximately half the height H of the sleeve cutting surface. The height H of the sleeve cutting surface is the maximum distance between the farthest points of the sleeve cutting surface.

[0015] In order to avoid skin irritation and to achieve the desired effect optimally, the knitted fabric portion 2 is designed as a seamless knitted fabric of at least one knitting yarn. Particularly preferably, the base fabric 21 (in Figure 1bThe base fabric portion 21 is designed with a ribbed structure (shaded darkly in the figure), wherein the base fabric has fabric ribs 20 protruding therefrom. The fabric ribs 20 may be arranged on the inside of the knitted fabric portion 2, thereby facing the wearer's skin, or they may be arranged in the opposite direction. The fabric ribs 20 are formed by a suitable knitting method, wherein the protruding ends of the fabric ribs 20 are clearly spaced apart from the base fabric 21. Those skilled in the art are familiar with the types of knitting and knitting patterns used to produce the knitted fabric portion 2 having a ribbed structure comprising a base fabric 21 and a plurality of fabric ribs 20.

[0016] The knitted fabric with the ribbed structure and the plurality of textile ribs 20 (known as a "seamless" knitted fabric) exhibits a high stretchability in the direction of extension of at least 10% to 40%, depending on the knitting pattern. Specifically, stretchability between 50% and approximately 100% can be selected. Thus, we are referring to an elastic knitted fabric with a stretchability of 10% or more in at least one direction. The elastic knitted fabric is designed to be at least single-layered. The knitted fabric portion 2 provides increased wearing comfort, and the shirt 1 can at least partially conform to the body contours of the shirt wearer.

[0017] The knitted fabric portion 2 is stretchable to a limited extent. Due to its stretchability and integration into the rear covering panel II, the knitted fabric portion 2 fits snugly against the skin. The knitted fabric portion 2 is preferably attached (or more precisely, sewn) to the shirt collar 15 or collar seam, and to the sleeves 16 or sleeve seams 160. However, the knitted fabric portion 2 may also form the entire surface of the rear covering panel II.

[0018] The knitted fabric portion 2 is knitted into one or more layers and preferably comprises knitted yarns of different synthetic and / or natural fibers. The knitted fabric portion 2 can also replace the entire back cover II, thereby forming a knitted back cover II.

[0019] In order to further increase wearing comfort, the knitted fabric portion 2 designed as an elastic knitted fabric as described above may additionally have a knitted adjustment zone which is knitted parallel to the spine of the wearer when worn. Figure 1bThe adjustment zone extending along the center of the knitted fabric portion 2 is not shown in the figure, but rather than extending across the entire width of the knitted fabric portion 2 between the opposing sleeves 16, it overlaps the wearer's spine by up to 10 centimeters. The knit pattern of the adjustment zone differs from the knit pattern of the rest of the knitted fabric portion 2 merely in color or yarn. The knit pattern is chosen to provide an adjustment effect in the wearer's spine region when worn, namely, improving breathability and / or moisture absorption or thermal insulation. Preferably, the knit pattern of the adjustment zone is coarse, meaning that the empty spaces between the knit stitches are larger than those of the rest of the knitted fabric portion. These larger spaces allow moisture and / or air to be more easily wicked away. However, a finer knit pattern could also be provided in the adjustment zone, thereby better binding and wicking moisture away from the body. These adjustment properties of the adjustment zone are achieved by having a different knit pattern than that of the knitted fabric portion 2, but using the same yarn. In any case, the adjustment zone is spaced from the arm seam 160 and extends generally parallel to the spine along the knitted fabric portion 2 away from the shirt collar 15. While the knitted fabric portion 2 can have a relatively smooth knit mesh pattern and still be sufficiently elastic, the adjustment zone has a different knit pattern. Therefore, the adjustment zone can be further away from the wearer's skin surface than the rest of the knitted fabric portion 2 to achieve an adjustment effect.
