Reflective waterproof and moisture permeable sportswear

Abstract

This invention relates to a reflective, waterproof, and breathable sportswear, comprising a sportswear body. The sportswear body includes a lining layer and a waterproof outer fabric layer. The lining layer is formed by bonding the edges of an inner lining layer and an outer lining layer together. A mesh elastic layer is disposed between the inner and outer lining layers. Adhesive is disposed on both sides of the mesh intersections of the mesh elastic layer, adhering to both the inner and outer lining layers, with the adhesive positions on both sides spaced apart. The mesh elastic layer has stronger hydrophilicity than the inner lining layer. The inner lining layer absorbs sweat, and the absorbed sweat is transferred to the mesh elastic layer through a hydrophilic-hydrophobic gradient. Upon inflation, the elastic layer's recoil force expels air, pulling the inner lining layer back into contact with the mesh elastic layer. Upon contact, the hydrophilic gradient absorbs sweat from the surface of the inner lining layer. Furthermore, the mesh elastic layer is interwoven within the airflow channels, resulting in excellent moisture-wicking performance as air passes through.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sportswear technology, specifically relating to a reflective, waterproof, and breathable sportswear. Background Technology

[0002] Sportswear needs to have the function of wicking away sweat. In order to increase the moisture-wicking function of the fabric, the existing technology sets a hydrophilic-hydrophobic gradient between the inner and outer layers of the fabric, and uses capillary action to absorb the sweat from the inner layer to the outer layer, and then completes the drying and sweating process. However, the clothes using this fabric are relatively thin and do not have a windproof effect. After stopping exercise, it is easy to catch a cold. When the outer fabric is exposed to rain or splashes, although it has a hydrophilic-hydrophobic gradient, it will still seep into the inner layer when it becomes excessively wet. Therefore, this kind of fabric with a hydrophilic-hydrophobic gradient lacks windproof and waterproof functions. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a reflective, waterproof, and breathable sportswear in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0004] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A reflective, waterproof, and breathable sportswear includes a sportswear body, which comprises a lining layer and a waterproof fabric layer. The lining layer is formed by bonding the edges of an inner lining layer and an outer lining layer together. A mesh elastic layer is disposed between the inner lining layer and the outer lining layer. Adhesive is disposed on both sides of the mesh intersections of the mesh elastic layer, which adheres to the inner lining layer and the outer lining layer. The adhesive bonding positions on both sides are spaced apart. The mesh elastic layer has stronger hydrophilicity than the inner lining layer.

[0006] The surface of the sportswear body is also provided with a ventilation mechanism for filling air between the inner lining layer and the outer lining layer, as well as micropores for releasing air.

[0007] As a further optimization of the present invention, the lining outer layer and the outer fabric layer are connected in a dotted manner by fixing lines, and this structure is used to fix the lining layer and the outer fabric layer.

[0008] As a further optimization of the present invention, the outer surface of the fabric layer is coated with a reflective coating. The reflective coating can serve as a warning during nighttime movement, thereby improving safety.

[0009] As a further optimization of the present invention, a chest pocket is provided at the front of the sportswear body. The chest pocket is used to house a ventilation mechanism. The ventilation mechanism includes a box and a counterweight plate slidably disposed inside the box. Springs are provided between the two surfaces of the counterweight plate in the sliding direction and the inner wall of the box. An inflation channel for inflating the lining layer is provided on the side of the box. A one-way air inlet communicating with the outside and a one-way inflation port communicating with the inflation channel are provided on the surface of the box. The ventilation mechanism performs pulse inflation on the lining layer during outdoor sports. Among these sports that cause sweating, most have large fluctuations, such as jogging, rope skipping, and burpees. Therefore, the fluctuations during the exercise act on the counterweight plate, forming airflow into the lining layer to achieve the effect of moisture absorption and perspiration wicking.

[0010] As a further optimization of the present invention, the box body is detachably installed in the chest pocket, and the chest pocket is provided with a docking seat that communicates with the interior of the lining layer. The docking seat is provided with a connector that mates with the inflation channel, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the box body. When needed, the box body is placed in the chest pocket and the connector is inserted into the inflation channel. When not in use, the box body is removed.

[0011] As a further optimization of the present invention, the side of the box body is provided with a locking structure for locking the counterweight plate. The locking structure includes a pin that penetrates through the side wall of the box body. The side surface of the pin is provided with a retaining ring. The side surface of the box body is provided with a through hole corresponding to the pin. The side wall of the through hole is provided with two retaining grooves for engaging the retaining ring. The end of the pin that extends into the inner part of the box body is provided with a limiting plate for locking the counterweight plate. The locking structure is used to lock the counterweight plate when it is not moving. By pulling or inserting the pin, the limiting plate can be moved forward or retracted. After retraction, it does not affect the sliding of the counterweight plate.

[0012] As a further optimization of the present invention, the micropores are located next to the zipper on the front chest on the side away from the ventilation mechanism. The air inside the lining layer is discharged through the micropores. The lining layer completes the air discharge through the contraction of the mesh elastic layer. The air discharge process takes away the sweat adsorbed in the mesh elastic layer.

[0013] As a further optimization of the present invention, the ribs of the sportswear are provided with quilting for sewing the outer fabric layer and the inner fabric layer, so that the airflow of the ventilation mechanism only flows in the front and back. For the armpits and back where sweat is easy to occur, the quilting restricts the airflow direction in the inner fabric layer, so that it carries away moisture and sweat.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0015] This invention utilizes an inner lining layer to absorb sweat, and then transfers the absorbed sweat to a mesh elastic layer via a hydrophilic-hydrophobic gradient. Upon inflation, the air is expelled by the recoil force of the mesh elastic layer, pulling the inner lining layer back into contact with the mesh elastic layer. After contact, the hydrophilic gradient absorbs sweat from the surface of the inner lining layer. Furthermore, the mesh elastic layer is interwoven in the airflow channels, resulting in excellent moisture-wicking performance as air passes through. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1-6As shown, a reflective, waterproof, and breathable sportswear includes a sportswear body 1, which includes a lining layer and a waterproof fabric layer 11. The waterproof fabric layer 11 can be made of TPU composite fabric. The lining layer is formed by bonding the edges of an inner lining layer 13 and an outer lining layer 12 together. A mesh elastic layer 14 is provided between the inner lining layer 13 and the outer lining layer 12. Adhesive 15 is provided on both sides of the mesh intersection of the mesh elastic layer 14 to adhere to the inner lining layer 13 and the outer lining layer 12. The adhesive 15 on both sides is spaced apart. The mesh elastic layer 14 has stronger hydrophilicity than the inner lining layer 13.

[0026] The surface of the sportswear body 1 is also provided with a ventilation mechanism 3 for filling air between the inner lining layer 13 and the outer lining layer 12, and micropores 5 for releasing air.

[0027] In this design, the inner lining layer 13 absorbs sweat, and the sweat absorbed by the inner lining layer 13 is transferred to the mesh elastic layer 14 through a hydrophilic-hydrophobic gradient. The surface of the mesh elastic layer 14 is coated with a hydrophilic coating. When inflated, the outer lining layer 12 and the inner lining layer 13 are stretched apart, and air is expelled through the elasticity of the mesh elastic layer 14. The mesh elastic layer 14 stores energy when stretched and expels air when retracted, pulling the inner lining layer 13 back into contact with the mesh elastic layer 14. After contact, the hydrophilic gradient absorbs sweat from the surface of the inner lining layer 13. The mesh elastic layer 14 is distributed in an alternating pattern in the airflow channels, which provides good moisture wicking effect when air passes through. In addition, the waterproof fabric layer 11 provides wind and rain protection. Besides sports, it can also be used for outdoor work and is suitable for more harsh and sweaty scenarios.

[0028] The lining outer layer 12 and the outer fabric layer 11 are connected in a dotted manner by fixing lines 16. This structure is used to fix the lining layer and the outer fabric layer 11.

[0029] The outer surface of the fabric layer 11 is coated with a reflective coating 17. The reflective coating 17 can serve as a warning during nighttime movement and improve safety.

[0030] The sportswear body 1 has a chest pocket 2 at the front chest position, which is used to house the ventilation mechanism 3. The ventilation mechanism 3 includes a box 31 and a counterweight plate 32 that is slidably disposed in the box 31. Springs 33 are provided between the two surfaces of the counterweight plate 32 in the sliding direction and the inner wall of the box 31. An inflation channel 35 for inflating the lining layer is provided on the side of the box 31. A one-way air inlet 34 communicating with the outside and a one-way inflation port 36 communicating with the inflation channel 35 are provided on the surface of the box 31. The ventilation mechanism 3 performs pulse inflation on the lining layer during outdoor sports. Among them, sports that easily cause sweating often have large fluctuations, such as jogging, rope skipping, and burpees. Therefore, the fluctuations during the exercise are applied to the counterweight plate 32. The counterweight plate 32 forms an airflow in the box 31 that enters between the two lining layers to achieve the function of moisture absorption and perspiration.

[0031] The box 31 is detachably installed in the chest pocket 2. The chest pocket 2 is provided with a docking seat 21 that communicates with the inside of the lining layer. The docking seat 21 is provided with a connector 22 that mates with the inflation channel 35. This allows for easy assembly and disassembly of the box 31. When needed, the box 31 is placed in the chest pocket 2 and the connector 22 is inserted into the inflation channel 35. When not in use, the box 31 is removed.

[0032] The side of the box body 31 is provided with a locking structure 4 for locking the counterweight plate 32. The locking structure 4 includes a pin 41 that penetrates the side wall of the box body 31. The side surface of the pin 41 is provided with a retaining ring 43. The side surface of the box body 31 is provided with a through hole corresponding to the pin 41. The side wall of the through hole is provided with two retaining grooves 42 for engaging the retaining ring 43. The end of the pin 41 that extends into the box body 31 is provided with a limiting plate 44 for locking the counterweight plate 32. The locking structure 4 is used to lock the counterweight plate 32 when it is not moving. By pulling or inserting the pin 31, the limiting plate 44 can be moved forward or retracted. After retraction, it will not affect the sliding of the counterweight plate 32. The locking structure 4 can be set in one or two sets as needed. If two sets of locking structures 4 are set, they are located on both sides of the box body 31 respectively, which limit the two sides of the counterweight plate 32. In specific operation, when sweating is required, the pin 41 is pulled out, so that the retaining ring 43 is pushed into the outer retaining groove 42, so that the counterweight plate 32 can move up and down freely. When sweating is not required, after the counterweight plate 32 is stable, the pin 41 is inserted, so that the retaining ring 43 enters the inner retaining groove 42, and the limiting plate 44 is locked on both sides of the counterweight plate 32.

[0033] Micro-holes 6 are located next to the zipper on the front chest, away from the ventilation mechanism 3. The ribs of the sportswear are provided with quilting 6 for sewing the fabric layer 11 and the lining layer, so that the airflow of the ventilation mechanism 3 only flows in the front and back. The air inside the lining layer is discharged through the micro-holes 5. The lining layer completes the air discharge through the contraction of the mesh elastic layer 14. The air discharge process takes away the sweat absorbed in the mesh elastic layer 14. For the armpits and back where sweat is easy to sweat, the quilting 6 restricts the airflow direction in the lining layer, so that it carries away moisture and sweat.

[0034] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
