Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a garment using a completely seamless tube with fully automatically generated straps, which has a wide range of applications and properties in textile technology. Background Art

[0002] The garments known in the art are in the form of corsets, tops, boleros, tube tops, bodysuits, tights, briefs, shorts, leggings, bikinis, tankinis, swimsuits, dresses, skirts, shirts, pullovers and trousers. The garments covering the body provide various pleasing features to the wearer, such as a completely seamless feel and innovative technical applications and features that ensure comfort, body safety and health.

[0003] Seamless products are also well known. In contrast, non-seamless textiles are usually sewn from yard goods and are available in different versions on the market. A variety of materials can be used as straps and loops, and are installed in the form of sewn shoulder straps and hip belts.

[0004] Against this background, it has now been found that there is a need to further improve such textiles; in particular, there is a need to provide a cost-effective and comfortable belt solution. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide an improved fit and comfort with additional functionality; in particular, the object of the present invention is to provide a garment that is as cost-effective and comfortable as possible.

[0005] These and other objects will become apparent or can be appreciated by a person skilled in the art after reading the following description and are achieved by the subject matter of the independent claims. The dependent claims further develop the central idea of ​​the invention in a particularly advantageous manner. Summary of the invention

[0006] The garment according to the present invention comprises: a tubular element; a first ring, which is arranged on the tubular element as a fully automatically generated belt and is configured to be attached to a first shoulder of a person; wherein the tubular element and the first ring are integral, and the first ring is arranged on the tubular element.

[0007] Preferably, the garment further comprises at least one second ring, which is also arranged on the tubular element and is configured to be arranged on a second shoulder or a second leg of the person; wherein the tubular element, the first ring and the second ring are integral, and wherein the first ring and the second ring are arranged on the tubular element. In another embodiment, the garment comprises a plurality of rings.

[0008] In the case of bottoms, the loops are designed in the form of a belt, wherein the formation of the loops allows the right leg to be worn on the right side and the left leg to be worn on the left side. With leg openings in the case of bottoms and arm openings in the case of tops, there is no need to sew additional straps, or design and sew arm openings, or attach them in any other way. The strap solution for the arm and leg openings is formed fully automatically and completely seamlessly by the device.

[0009] In this case, the term "garment" should be understood broadly and includes all elements that are constructed to be arranged on the body and cover the body in the process. For example, synonyms for clothing are clothing and hosiery. In the present case, the term "tubular element" should be understood broadly and includes hollow textile elements. The textile element is, for example, single-layer or double-layer. The tubular element is, for example, made seamlessly. For example, pantyhose or seamless machines (for example from Santoni) are used to make the tubular element. In the present case, the term "loop" should be understood broadly and includes such openings, which are constructed to at least partially surround the shoulder so that the loop can be kept on the arm and / or shoulder and / or can be attached thereto without further manipulation. The second way of carrying is the Carmen version, in which the strap is placed horizontally on the shoulder. The lower body is a belt substitute, a strip with fully automatically generated leg openings.

[0010] The present invention is based on the recognition that there are various materials and mountings in the form of sewn elastics and straps for body coverings on the market, wherein the body coverings are mostly sewn from clothing materials. However, with conventional seamless straps, openings (i.e. arm openings and leg openings) still require manual cutting, processing and / or sewing. Conventional mountings tend to cut into the skin or become uncomfortable after a period of use due to existing seams, and therefore provide low comfort. By providing a one-piece textile made of a material that is comfortable to the body, a long-lasting seamless comfort is ensured. By eliminating seams, elastic bands or the like, cutting into the human skin or increasing pressure on the mounting surface of the human shoulders, arms, neck, legs, hips, abdomen, back is avoided. The one-piece body covering can reduce production steps, reduce overall storage and production costs, and reduce environmental impact. A comfortable wearing experience can be obtained by the softness of the carrier and the gradual resilience and belt loop material from the main material of the textile for making the body covering.

[0011] Preferably, the body covering is circular knitted or warp knitted. The manufacturing process of the surface covering / body covering can be fully automated using knitting and circular knitting. Circular knitting allows the introduction of holes in the garment, which act as loops. Knitting and circular knitting allow the introduction of different material properties during the manufacturing process, preferably adjusting the elasticity of local points of the material. For example, these loops are produced by programming the holes in an automatic knitting machine.

[0012] Preferably, the first and second loops are tri-elastic. The tri-elastic design helps prevent the loops from cutting into the wearer's skin. The tri-elastic design can be provided directly during the manufacturing process by weakening the structure of the material. For example, the density in this area is reduced.

[0013] The body covering is preferably made of a single or double layer of synthetic fibers, such as multi-fiber fabrics, or a single or double layer of microfiber fabrics, or natural fibers and / or waterproof fabrics. Technical equipment such as UV protection or coated synthetic or natural fibers, i.e. viscose, bamboo, cotton (BW), wool yarns can be added to the single or double layer textile structure to increase self-protection. These materials can be biodegradable and / or made of recycled fibers, i.e. can be recycled after use.

[0014] The term "finishing" refers to the application of a substance, such as silver chloride, copper, zinc, or vitamin E, aloe vera, horse chestnut, etc. Heating and cooling effects can also be added. In other words, the term "finishing" mainly refers to the extraction process or impregnation process of the ingredients. It is also possible to enhance energy and improve performance by using infrared films. In addition, a cellulite effect can be achieved.

[0015] Preferably, the body covering has no seams. This is achieved by embroidery and circular knitting. Seams may only appear in the crotch and lower part of the legs.

[0016] The hose element is preferably configured to accommodate technical equipment, such as a power supply and a magnetic pulse transmitter, within the hose element. This can increase the protective effect and comfort as well as the range of use of the body covering.

[0017] The first ring and the second ring are preferably arranged in an integral manner on the first end of the hose element and the seamless waistband. Such a design is referred to as a sleeve. For example, the sleeve is single-layered or double-layered. For example, the sleeve is produced in a circular knitting process on a body cylinder of a seamless machine (for example, a Santoni machine, for example: SM8 model). The sleeve can be comfortably pulled over the head or put on from above. In the context of the present disclosure, the term "seamless" is understood to mean that the garment is provided by such a tube and therefore no seams need to be provided in this area.

[0018] Preferably, the first ring is arranged at the first end of the tubular element and the second ring is arranged at the second end of the tubular element. This fully automatic design is called an integrated support hose or tube. The market name is "spacetricot"

[0020] Preferably, the hose element includes a textile pocket configured to receive one or more sensors. For example, the textile middle layer includes a device for measuring vital data. Antiviral materials, antibacterial materials or materials that promote blood flow can also be added or applied to the textile. The healthy material can be composed of synthetic fibers (such as polyamide) or natural fibers (such as viscose fibers / wool / cotton), and different support forces and elongations can also be added through various selections and trimming on the production machine. As another option, various compression levels from light to strong (1-6) can be added. The formation of textile structures such as ventilation areas, massage areas and support areas provides additional functions when worn and through body movement, thereby also being able to achieve good, breathable wearing comfort, more aesthetic skin stretch and enhanced proprioception. Gyroscopes can also be sewn and / or inserted into the fabric. This can have an overall beneficial effect on the protective effect and flexibility of use of the body covering, and can display movement in space.

[0021] Preferably, the tubular element has a three-dimensional knitted structure, wherein the three-dimensional knitted structure is shaped to form a concave portion. During the manufacturing process, with the help of special selections on the equipment and the addition of graduated compression and different doses of spandex, the three-dimensional area can also be formed to form a slight cup-like bulge in the chest and hip areas of the garment to adapt to the anatomy of the upper and lower body. Pleats can be formed at the hips and chest to enable a three-dimensional appearance.

[0022] The progressive structure is preferably designed to set under-chest, under-hip, leg, arm and abdomen support effects, etc. By varying the material thickness and trimming using a circular knitting process, different sizes of support strip areas and strips can be set or adjusted fully automatically. This can advantageously increase the range of use to accommodate different anatomical structures and cover the body.

[0023] Preferably, sensors are arranged to measure various movement sequences and travel sequences for evaluation, wherein the application can evaluate and display the data.

[0024] Silver chloride and / or a combination of silver chloride with or without liposomes is preferably applied to the tubular element. This application (also called finishing) can be very effective for example at least 5 to 20 washes (at 30°C-60°C). Silver chloride can act as a bacteriostatic and can suppress odors. In addition, silver chloride is non-ionic. It is a biocidal product. For example, the following formulation can be used for antiviral and bacteriostatic treatment: 0.3% silver chloride and / or 6% antiviral liposome treatment is applied relative to the surface / body coverage weight. The application is preferably done by an extraction process.

[0025] Preferably, the tubular element has ventilation areas. This can increase wearing comfort, which is also achieved by the transparent and less transparent areas.

[0026] The body cover preferably comprises hydrophobic and hydrophilic, quick drying, cooling or warming equipment and / or functional yarns. This allows the body cover to be used comfortably at different temperatures. This allows it to be used in applications in different seasons.

[0027] Body coverings, undergarments and outerwear can also be manufactured in different sizes, including plus sizes. For example, body coverings can be manufactured in adult, female and male sizes, youth sizes, and child / toddler sizes. Specific size adjustments can be made by using different cylinders and settings in circular knitting.

[0028] The body covering can be woven and / or printed with designs fully automatically. In particular, on the belt, designs and text can be woven fully automatically. For example, batik elements can be added when washing the body covering.

[0029] For example, body coverings include a first water repellent treatment: a hydrophobic agent is applied to the surface / body covering to minimize droplet infection. The hydrophobic agent is water-repellent, breathable, washable and fluoride-free.

[0030] Silver chloride, which has a bacteriostatic effect and may inhibit odor, is applied to body coverings (e.g., biocidal products). Silver chloride is nonionic. For example, a water-repellent finish and a bacteriostatic finish are formed according to the following formula: 0.3% silver chloride finish and 6% hydrophobic finish based on the surface / body covering weight (e.g., 13 g).

[0031] For example, the material for the surface / body covering is finished with a water-repellent additive. In addition, during the drum extraction process, the active ingredient silver chloride is applied at 60°C for 20 minutes. The material is then dried at a temperature of about 90°C and finally fixed at 150°C for 120 seconds. After at least 5 washes, the finishing effect is noticeable.

[0032] For example, the body covering includes a water-repellent and antibacterial treatment. In addition, the water-repellent treatment can prevent the body covering from being contaminated, thereby having a positive impact on the comfort and duration of wearing.

[0033] For example, the body coverings include digital prints or transfers.

[0034] Preferably, the garment also comprises at least one, preferably two or more elongation loops, wherein the back side and / or the front side provide progressive compression and / or elongation. Such compression and / or elongation (e.g., through the loops) may have an effect of enhancing performance or support.

[0035] Preferably, the garment is manufactured using a digital design process designed on a 3D avatar. Optionally, it can be written / read into a fully automated device via a machine knitting program. This enables digital / virtual production.

[0036] The garment is preferably configured to also function as a bag. Thus, the functional textiles described herein can be used as a multifunctional bag in another optional form, whereby the garment can be designed with different lengths, widths and depths, various shapes, colors, patterns and materials for the bag and the loops.

[0037] The garment is preferably configured to also be used as a hat and / or a nightcap. In other words, the garment can be designed to optionally be used as a hat and / or a nightcap, optionally with a cushion / pad and a chin ring, and can be used as a travel or home pillow substitute. A variety of loop variants and design forms (open / closed / sewn), such as optionally adding a pillow in a sewn or similar form and / or inserting a pillow or the like between two layers by folding down the outer material. Open and closed surface coverings containing beneficial ingredients / cosmetics can be applied. In addition, from a technical point of view, additional equipment and functions (such as monitoring) can also be provided to improve sleep stages, snoring and other breathing problems. This can be achieved, for example, by pulsed magnetic fields, currents and other waveform devices with varying frequencies. Vital data measurements such as breathing rate can also be monitored and optimized.

[0038] The garment is preferably configured to be optionally used as a curtain, a drape and / or a roller blind. The garment may be made of synthetic and / or natural materials, mixtures thereof and / or novel CO 2 The textiles are made of a proportion of fibers and their enzymes. Due to the presence of loops, these textiles can provide various product advantages and problem solutions when hanging, so that mounting rods, system rod structures (with optional telescopic and / or plug-in extension systems) can be easily installed vertically and horizontally, combined and / or using other installation methods, such as trolleys for traditional curtain accessories, even if they are made of natural materials. Various loop shapes can be formed fully automatically at the top and bottom of the textiles and on the right and left sides. Due to the wide range of circular knitting options, various options and 3D sheets, jacquard patterns and raised elements can be combined to form colorful patterns and designs. In the main material, parallel draw cords can be sewn and / or woven, for example, which can be used as weights or to retract the roller blinds / curtains with optional magnetic strips. Therefore, these systems can be connected together by cables, etc. or by manual magnetic connection, and the textile board can be magnetically held on the top. Another feature is the addition and attachment of solar or photovoltaic panels, which are designed to charge electrical appliances, etc. and / or can power the light effect applications present in the curtains / roller blinds, optionally with batteries. By using yarn (such as belly ) UV protection, home textiles can have sunscreen and UV protection properties. They can also have additional heating, cooling or thermal properties. In addition, using different metallic yarns, they can also have anti-electromagnetic pollution properties. This novel multi-loop weaving technology can also be used to automatically weave pillows, bedding / sheets, tablecloths, towels, face towels and cleaning cloths with antibacterial, antiviral and antimicrobial properties.

[0039] Preferably, the textiles described herein are manufactured using a so-called "mass customization" production method. Trained algorithms (e.g. so-called "deep learning" algorithms) can also be used here. For example, a configurator (e.g. also in the form of an app) that can be provided in an online store / platform can be used to individually customize the design / features, color, specific design, fit and / or cut, etc. according to the customer's requirements. If applicable, this can be done by the manufacturer, the retailer and / or the end customer. These data can then be automatically transmitted to the production machine, in particular without sewing. In principle, the invention can be applied in all areas of outerwear, for example in combination with sewing shirts, jackets, etc. Development of tops, tights, etc., and application in textile accessories.

[0040] Additionally, the present invention contemplates the use of padding as an additional layer in the chest and hip areas to provide augmentation and stabilization, which may also be used in conjunction with silicone straps and lace straps in the body covering as described above.

[0041] Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for manufacturing a garment / body covering as described above by means of fully automatic circular knitting.

[0042] The fully automatically formed loops can be arranged in different forms to ensure an even better fit to the foot, for example in the case of sports shoes and sock shoes by preventing the ankle from slipping. In the case of knee-high socks / cuffs etc., the loops can also have an elongating effect if they extend beyond the knee, giving the lower leg an extra boost when walking and moving. By using elastane and special compression options such as rib knitting technology, different compression levels of force from 1 to 6 can be generated (from light to strong elongation / restoration force). New on sports shoes and socks The loop extends from behind the heel to the front above the crack and fully extends from behind the knee bend, like a strap in front of the knee, this effect is particularly used for walking, sports (handball, volleyball and football, skiing, etc.), leisure and medical applications. The material can be reinforced on the inside with metal wire / polyamide / polyester / polypropylene, silicone and elastane to prevent slipping.

[0043] In principle, the rings in all described articles prevent slipping.

[0044] Another example is the same system for the arm, where the loops extend, for example, from the inside of the arm to above the arm joint and outside, and vice versa. This effect can also be used in another circular knit version for the shoulder, with the same performance enhancement and improved elongation; this is suitable for shoulder problems for therapeutic purposes and to improve performance in competitive and recreational sports, for sports such as tennis, golf, etc.

[0045] With new extension and compression rings, with or without sole for barefoot walking Socks and socks can be made of particularly abrasion-resistant yarns (e.g. Durable / sturdy) woven, which contains socks or sock-like materials and also provides an additional sole to facilitate contact with the ground. These types of new sock uppers are equipped with soles made of plastic (such as EVA, etc.) and / or natural materials (such as wood and / or rubber materials, etc.). The sole is glued or nailed to the upper, etc. The sole is thus connected to a textile sock / upper made of a combination of synthetic fibers and / or natural fibers and / or spandex fibers. The sock upper with stretch loop function is manufactured with special features: by heating part of the special fusible fibers and elastomers, the fiber partitions of the upper are bonded together, so that some areas have less elasticity and a more stable fit. Due to the use of spandex, the non-heated areas of the sock are elastic, such as the upper heel and the crack area. This makes it easy to put on and combines the automatically knitted shoe strap with high comfort when putting on and wearing. These particularly light 3D circular knitted shoes have a partially elastic fit like a sock and can also be machine washed, depending on the sole. Thanks to their waterproof, breathable, anti-odor and anti-bacterial properties, the seamless 360 shoe also protects against dirt and unevenness while maintaining the feeling of walking barefoot. In addition, wearing a loop sock shoe gives the foot a comfortable and soft feeling, similar to traditional socks, but with additional protection and cushioning provided by the sole.

[0046] The construction of the sock and the sole, or the insert in the walking area of ​​the sock Durable / strong yarns can help ensure that the wearer feels the effect of being barefoot while the foot is still protected. Heat and muscle effects can also be created by delivering energy to the yarn. Functional yarns and finishes have the following properties: Warmth - Keep warm, cool down—— Cooling, energy / performance enhancement - energy / Fresh (antibacterial) or Dry skin (moisture transport), Health (skin care substances, such as caffeine, etc.).

[0047] Quick dry (breathable) is still used as a sock material and when combined allows for good air circulation through knitted ventilation areas for a comfortable fit.

[0048] use Textiles, circular knitting (a technique for adding different colors and patterns to textiles) can also be used for jacquard knitting to form complex colorful designs, which can optionally be printed in a second step. Last but not least, the ecological and economic effects of saving energy and time are also important, so that even in cost-intensive industrialized countries such as Germany, Italy, etc., fully automatic circular knitted functional textiles can still be produced efficiently, environmentally friendly, according to high social standards and competitively.

[0049] In principle, all Both the extension / compression loop shoes can be 3D knitted fully automatically, so that different versions of the sole can be bonded to the upper in the next step, alternatively sewn or attached in a similar way. Technology, where the non-slip sole is made of silicone, onto which a sheet / thin layer of sole, etc. is printed, bonded, sewn or otherwise attached. The same belly described for the outsole (i.e., on the sole just below the foot of a sock shoe) may also be added by knitting, bonding sheets, protrusions, 3D areas, etc. Function, raised or not. Knitted silicone can also be used in shoes to reduce slipping and blisters caused by intensive walking, etc. The finishes, yarn functions and applications can be exactly the same as for the functional textiles described. The shoes can also be made waterproof and stain-resistant and can also be produced as safety shoes with appropriate protection levels (e.g. S1-S3). In addition, various slippers and yoga socks with soles and loops can also be produced using this technology. The natural fibers can also be certified as organic fibers or "cotton made in Africa".

[0123] Figure 1 and Figure 2A schematic partial view of a first preferred embodiment of a body covering 10 according to the invention is shown. The body covering 10 comprises a tubular element. In this case, the tubular element is a single-layer or double-layer seamless tubular knitted fabric that is manufactured fully automatically. The tubular element is made of a single material by a circular knitting method using different cylinders (e.g. 10 to 20 inches and 28 gauge). The body covering 10 has two loops 11, which are knitted automatically by machine-programmed hole selection. The loops 11 are designed as double-layer cuffs. The loops 11 are located at two opposite ends of the tubular element 11. The tubular element and the loops 11 are made of the same material ("integrated").
