Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a functional garment, and more particularly to a functional garment in which air can be easily drawn into multiple air-retaining sections of the garment via an air injection device. Background Technology

[0002] To enable its use in various applications such as knee pads, body shaping pads, abdominal belts, life jackets, rubber tubes, and wrist pads, functional garments that create elasticity by allowing air to flow into and out of a certain area of ​​the garment.

[0003] Traditional functional clothing was manufactured by incorporating additional air tubes that could expand by injecting air. However, this traditional method did not allow air to be injected into the entire garment or a wide area using a single tube. Therefore, when multiple air tubes were incorporated into the garment, there was a cumbersome process where the user had to manually guide the air into each tube.

[0004] Furthermore, the manufacturing process of embedding additional air tubes into clothing is complicated, and the clothing and air tubes are made of different materials, which can cause a foreign object sensation to the user and result in a poor wearing experience.

[0005] On the other hand, in order to allow air to flow into this functional garment and create a sense of elasticity, an air injection device is used in one area of ​​the garment.

[0006] However, conventional air injection devices limit the amount of air a user can blow in. To expand the air tube to its maximum, the user needs to exert more force and spend more time. Furthermore, the need for additional pumps and other devices for air injection makes them inconvenient to carry and, when attached to clothing, creates a heavy feeling, causing inconvenience to the user. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Technical problems to be solved The present invention addresses the aforementioned problems and aims to provide a functional garment with multiple air-retaining sections that allow air to easily flow into the garment via an air injection device.

[0008] The technical problems of this invention are not limited to those mentioned above. Those skilled in the art can clearly understand other technical problems not mentioned from the following description.

[0009] means for solving problems According to an embodiment of the present invention, a functional garment is provided. The functional garment includes: a garment comprising a plurality of air-receiving portions formed between a first fabric and a second fabric arranged facing each other, which contain air on their inner sides; and an air injection device connected to at least one of the air-receiving portions, injecting air into the air-receiving portions, and forming at least one first region around the air-receiving portions that divides the air-receiving portions from an adjacent air-receiving portion and at least one second region that allows air communication between the air-receiving portions and an adjacent air-receiving portion, wherein when air is injected into the garment by the air injection device, air can be transmitted to the plurality of air-receiving portions through the second region.

[0010] Furthermore, the first region includes a membrane for separating the air-receiving portion from another adjacent air-receiving portion, and the membrane can be bonded to the first fabric and the second fabric.

[0011] Furthermore, the membrane can have different widths depending on the different areas of the functional garment, so that the functional garment can have air-retaining sections with different volumes depending on the different areas.

[0012] Furthermore, the membrane may include a breathable unit, allowing air to flow between the air receiving portion and another adjacent air receiving portion.

[0013] Furthermore, a polymer film coating is formed on at least one side of the first fabric and the second fabric, and the first region is formed by melting at least a portion of the polymer film coating using at least one of the following methods: thermal bonding, high-frequency bonding, or ultrasonic bonding.

[0014] Furthermore, the first and second fabric portions of the air-retaining portion formed by the aforementioned polymer film coating may be airtight.

[0015] Furthermore, the aforementioned clothing may include an inner pocket on which the aforementioned air injection device is detachably mounted.

[0016] Furthermore, the present invention also includes: an outlet connected to at least one of the air-receiving portions, for discharging air contained in the garment from the garment to the outside; and an outlet portion including a plug for opening and closing the outlet, wherein when the plug is opened, air contained in the plurality of air-receiving portions through the second region can be transferred to the outlet.

[0017] Furthermore, the aforementioned air injection device includes: a connecting portion, which is combined with a region of the garment and communicates with at least one of the aforementioned air-receiving portions in order to inject air into the garment; a body portion, one end of which is combined with the connecting portion and at least temporarily contains air; and an air inflow portion, which is formed by opening the other end of the body portion to allow air to flow into the inside of the body portion. The body portion is formed of a soft material, and when the user presses the body portion, the volume of the body portion decreases, and the air contained in the body portion can be transferred to the air-receiving portion through the connecting portion.

[0018] Furthermore, as the user holds the other end and winds at least a portion of the main body toward the connecting portion, the volume of the main body decreases accordingly.

[0019] Furthermore, a region of the aforementioned body portion may form a converging portion, and the converging portion decreases in internal area as it moves from the aforementioned air inlet portion toward the aforementioned connecting portion, thereby guiding the air contained in the aforementioned body portion to flow toward the aforementioned connecting portion.

[0020] Furthermore, the aforementioned body portion engages with at least a portion of the surrounding area of ​​the third and fourth fabrics arranged facing each other, and can contain air internally.

[0021] Furthermore, an airtight polymer film coating may be formed on at least one side of the third fabric and the fourth fabric.

[0022] Furthermore, the aforementioned body portion forms at least one gripping portion protruding upward from at least one region at the other end, allowing the user to grip the gripping portion to separate the third fabric and the fourth fabric, thereby opening the aforementioned air inflow portion.

[0023] Furthermore, the aforementioned gripping portion includes a first gripping portion provided on the third fabric and a second gripping portion provided on the fourth fabric, with the first gripping portion and the second gripping portion respectively formed on opposite ends of the width direction of the main body portion.

[0024] Invention Effects According to the present invention, multiple air-containment sections that are interconnected in the clothing are formed. Even if air is injected into one air-containment section by an air injection device, all air is transferred to each air-containment section, which can improve the convenience of use for the user.

[0025] Furthermore, according to the present invention, a polymer film coating is formed on the inner surface of the fabric constituting the garment, and the fabric is welded by at least one of the methods of thermal bonding, high-frequency bonding, or ultrasonic bonding, which can easily form multiple air-containing sections with air communication.

[0026] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the functional fabric integrally bonded with the polymer film coating can provide functional clothing that not only has water-repellent and waterproof functions, but also windproof functions.

[0027] Furthermore, according to the present invention, there is no need to embed an additional air tube in the clothing, the manufacturing process is simple, and the foreign body sensation caused by embedding an air tube made of a different material from the clothing can be eliminated.

[0028] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the air injection device is formed from fabric, which allows the user to inject air in a simple manner by blowing air into the inside of the fabric and compressing it by rolling it up, thereby increasing the convenience of the user.

[0029] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the user can inflate the clothing to its maximum size more quickly by blowing air in with very little force and with very few breaths.

[0030] Furthermore, according to the present invention, even without separating the air injection device from the clothing, it can be conveniently carried inside a pocket with a small volume. Attached Figure Description

[0042] Figures 1 to 3 This refers to functional clothing according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 This refers to an air injection device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The functional garment 1000 may include clothing 100, an air injection device 200, and an exhaust unit 300.

[0044] Clothing 100 can be formed from multiple fabrics into the form of a top or bottom that a user can wear. However, it is not limited to this and can include all forms of clothing or accessories made of fabric.

[0045] The garment 100 may include a plurality of air-retaining portions 110 that contain air on the inside. For example, the garment 100 includes a first fabric and a second fabric arranged facing each other in at least one area, and the air-retaining portions 110 may be formed between the first fabric and the second fabric. Air can be drawn into the air-retaining portions 110 by an air injection device 200, which can create an elastic feel in a region of the garment 100 and also perform a warming function.

[0046] In an embodiment, the air-retaining portion 110 may be formed in all areas of the garment 100, but is not limited thereto; it may be formed in joint areas or in areas where shock absorption, posture support, or warmth are required.

[0047] In this embodiment, an airtight polymer film coating 400 may be formed in at least one area of ​​the first fabric and / or the second fabric. Thus, the first and second fabrics perform a shielding function, preventing air from leaking out of the air containment section 110 and protecting the user from external moisture, humidity, or wind. Specific details regarding the polymer film coating 400 will be described later to avoid repetition.

[0048] Around the air-receiving section 110, at least one first region 111 formed by joining the first fabric and the second fabric, and at least one second region 112 formed by not joining the first fabric and the second fabric, may be formed.

[0049] The first region 111 can separate the air containment section 110 from another air containment section 110. For example... Figure 7a As shown in the example, polymer film coatings 400 are formed on the facing sides of a first fabric and a second fabric, respectively. A first region 111 is formed by melting at least one region of the first and second fabrics using at least one of the following methods: thermal bonding, high-frequency bonding, or ultrasonic bonding. That is, when the first and second fabrics are heated and pressurized, the polymer film coating 400 melts, and the first and second fabrics bond together, thereby forming the first region 111. However, this is not a limitation; the polymer film coating 400 can be formed only on one side of the first and second fabrics, and so on. The above-described bonding method is merely an example, and this disclosure is not limited thereto. Furthermore, for example, multiple first regions 111 are formed with a predetermined length and can be arranged at predetermined intervals, but this is not a limitation; various intervals or lengths are possible.

[0050] In another embodiment, such as Figure 7bAs shown in the example, the first region 111 may be constituted by a membrane 1111 used to divide the air-receiving portion 110 from another air-receiving portion 110. For example, a polymer film coating 400 is formed on the facing sides of the first fabric and the second fabric, respectively. The first region 111 can be formed by welding at least one region of the first fabric and the second fabric using at least one of the methods of thermal bonding, high-frequency bonding, or ultrasonic bonding. Furthermore, the membrane 1111 is bonded to the first fabric and the second fabric using an adhesive, or it can be bonded using any other adhesive unit. In another embodiment, by enlarging the first region 111 in which the air-receiving portion is divided by the membrane 1111, the air-receiving capacity of the air-receiving portion 110 can be increased.

[0051] like Figure 8a , Figure 8b and Figure 8c As shown in the example, the membrane 1111 constituting the first region 111 may include breathable units 1112, 1113 that allow air to flow between air receiving portions 110. Figure 8a , Figure 8b and Figure 8c To show in detail Figure 7b Middle membrane portion ( Figure 7b Example diagram (the dashed circle portion). Membrane 1111 can also be formed of a porous material that allows air to pass through. (Exemplary example shown in...) Figure 8b and Figure 8c The breathable units 1112 and 1113 allow air to flow between the air-receiving portions 110, ensuring that air is evenly contained within the air-receiving portions 110. This better maintains the shape of the garment and allows the wearer greater freedom of movement. For example, as shown by reference numeral 1112, the breathable units 1112 and 1113 can also be configured to have areas without a membrane, and as shown by reference numeral 1113, the membrane 1111 can also be configured to have breathable pores 1113.

[0052] The width of the membrane 1111, which constitutes the thickness of the first region 111, can vary depending on the region of the garment. For example, the volume of the air-retaining portion formed by the first fabric, the second fabric, and the membrane 1111 will differ depending on the width of the membrane 1111. For example, when the width of the membrane 1111 is relatively wide, the volume of the air-retaining portion 110 formed by the first fabric, the second fabric, and the membrane 1111 can be relatively large, resulting in higher warmth retention and elasticity. For example, when the width of the membrane 1111 is relatively narrow, the volume of the air-retaining portion 110 formed by the first fabric, the second fabric, and the membrane 1111 will be relatively small, increasing the wearer's ease of movement. For example, in areas of the garment 1000 where higher warmth retention is required and where the wearer's movements are minimal, the first region 111 can be formed by a membrane 1111 with a relatively wide thickness; while in areas related to the wearer's ease of movement, such as joints, the first region 111 can be formed by a membrane 1111 with a relatively narrow thickness. The overall thickness of membrane 1111 can be set according to the desired warmth of clothing 1000.

[0053] The second region 112 allows air-receiving section 110 to be in air communication with another adjacent air-receiving section 110. For example, the second region 112 may be formed between at least a portion of a plurality of first regions 111. When air is injected into the garment 100 via the air injection device 200, the air can be sequentially or simultaneously delivered to the plurality of air-receiving sections 110 via the second region 112. For example, air injected from the air injection device 200 into a first air-receiving section is delivered to at least one second air-receiving section formed adjacent to the first air-receiving section to be in air communication via the second region 112, and then delivered to the next adjacent at least one third air-receiving section, thereby sequentially or simultaneously delivering to the plurality of air-receiving sections 110.

[0054] The garment 100 may include a pocket 120 on the inside of which an air injection device 200 is mounted. For example, by joining at least a portion of the periphery of an additional layer of fabric on one side of the garment 100, a pocket 120 with a receiving space on the inside can be formed. The upper end of the pocket 120 forms an open area, allowing the air injection device 200 housed inside to be exposed above the open area. Furthermore, when the air injection device 200 is not in use, it can be stored and carried in a folded state inside the pocket 120.

[0055] In an embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pocket 120 can be located on the outer side of the garment 100, but is not limited thereto; it can also be located on the inner side of the garment 100, or on both the outer and inner sides. Furthermore, the pocket 120 can be located at the lower end of the body area of ​​the garment 100, but is not limited thereto; it can be located in various areas such as the body, shoulder, or arm areas of the garment 100.

[0056] The air injection device 200 is connected to at least one of the plurality of air containment sections 110 and can inject air into the air containment section 110 of the clothing 100.

[0057] In an embodiment, the air injection device 200 may include a connecting portion 210, a main body portion 220, and an air inflow portion 230.

[0058] The connecting portion 210 is combined with a region of the garment 100 (especially the air-receiving portion 110) and communicates with at least one of the plurality of air-receiving portions 110, allowing air to be injected into the garment 100. For example, the connecting portion 210 may be integrally formed with a part of the garment 100, but is not limited thereto, and may be formed detachably from the garment 100.

[0059] The main body 220 is formed of multiple pieces of fabric and can at least temporarily contain air before air is injected into the garment 100 through the connecting part 210. For this purpose, one end of the main body 220 can be connected to the connecting part 210 and can have sufficient volume and length to contain air.

[0060] In one embodiment, the body portion 220 is formed of a third fabric and a fourth fabric arranged facing each other, and at least a portion of the periphery of the third fabric and the fourth fabric can be joined to contain air internally. At this time, as a joining method, at least one of thermal bonding, high-frequency bonding, or ultrasonic bonding can be used, but it is not limited to these methods; all known joining methods can be used.

[0061] In this embodiment, an airtight polymer film coating 400 may be formed on at least one side of the third and fourth fabrics. This prevents air from leaking out of the body portion 220. Specific details regarding the polymer film coating 400 will be described later to avoid repetition.

[0062] The body portion 220 is formed of a soft material, which reduces its volume when pressure is applied by a user. For example, a user can apply pressure to the body portion 220 by holding one end of the body portion 220 and winding it around at least a portion of the body portion 220 toward the connecting portion 210. As the volume of the body portion 220 decreases, the air contained within the body portion 220 can be transferred to the air containing portion 110 through the connecting portion 210. As described above, the air transferred to the air containing portion 110 can be transferred to multiple air containing portions 110 through the second region 112.

[0063] For example, the air injection device 200 (i.e., the main body 220) can be rolled up and stored in the garment 100 (especially the pocket 120) in a way that reduces its volume. As a result, the user can carry the air injection device 200 in a small size and convenient manner without removing it from the garment 100, and can use it anytime and anywhere, thus achieving ease of use along with portability.

[0064] A converging portion 221 may be formed in a region of the body portion 220, which guides the air contained in the body portion 220 toward the connecting portion 210. For this purpose, the converging portion 221 may be shaped such that its internal area or width decreases as it moves from the air inlet portion 230 toward the connecting portion 210. Thus, the air contained in the body portion 220 becomes more concentrated as it moves from the air inlet portion 230 toward the connecting portion 210, thereby allowing air to be injected into the garment 100 more effectively through the connecting portion 210.

[0065] At one end of the body portion 220 (especially the end where the air injection portion 230 is formed), at least one gripping portion 222 protruding upward from at least one region may be formed. The user grips the gripping portion 222 to separate the third and fourth fabrics, thereby opening the air inflow portion 230. For example, the gripping portion 222 may be formed on both the third and fourth fabrics, but is not limited to this; it may be formed on only one of the third and fourth fabrics. Furthermore, for example, the gripping portion 222 may be formed only in one region at one end of the body portion 220, or it may be formed over the entire region at one end of the body portion 220, but is not limited to this; it may entirely include a shape protruding upward to a degree that allows the user to grip it.

[0066] In an embodiment, the gripping portion 222 may include a first gripping portion 222' provided on the third fabric and a second gripping portion 222' provided on the fourth fabric. The first gripping portion 222' and the second gripping portion 222' may be formed on opposite ends of the body portion 220 in the width direction. Thus, the user can grip the first gripping portion 222' and the second gripping portion 222' respectively, making it easier to separate the third fabric and the fourth fabric.

[0067] In this embodiment, a first gripping portion 222' is formed in a region at one end of the third fabric of the body portion 220, and a first opening portion may be formed in another region at the same end. Correspondingly, a second gripping portion 222' is formed in a region at one end of the fourth fabric of the body portion 220, and a second opening portion may be formed in another region at the same end. For example, the first and second opening portions may be configured such that each end of the third and fourth fabrics protrudes less upward than the first gripping portion 222' and the second gripping portion 222'. Thus, the first gripping portion 222' is exposed to the fourth fabric via the second opening portion, and the second gripping portion 222' is exposed to the third fabric via the first opening portion, making it easier for the user to grip the first and second gripping portions 222' and open the air inlet portion 230.

[0068] In one embodiment, an enlarged portion may be formed in a region of the body portion 220. When the air inlet portion 230 is opened, this enlarged portion guides external air to flow towards the inside of the body portion 220. For this purpose, the enlarged portion may be formed such that its internal area or width increases as it moves from the connecting portion 210 toward the air inlet portion 230. Before the air inlet portion 230 is opened, air is not contained within the inside of the body portion 220. Under low pressure conditions, when the air inlet portion 230 is opened, external air can flow instantaneously into the inside of the body portion 220, which has a relatively low pressure. At this time, the enlarged portion can guide a greater amount of external air into the increased open area of ​​the body portion 220.

[0069] Furthermore, when a user blows air into the main body 220 through the air inlet 230, external air is also guided towards the inside of the main body 220 along with the air blown in by the user. Even if the user blows air in with little force and few times, the volume of the main body 220 can increase rapidly.

[0070] The air inlet 230 is formed by opening the other end of the main body 220 (the end opposite to the connecting part 210), allowing air to flow into the inside of the main body 220. For example, the air inlet 230 can be formed by fully opening the other end of the main body 220, but it is not limited to this and can be formed by opening only a region of the other end of the main body 220.

[0071] The discharge section 300 is connected to at least one of the plurality of air containment sections 110, and can discharge the air contained in the air containment section 110 of the clothing 100 to the outside.

[0072] In one embodiment, the discharge section 300 may include a discharge port and a plug. The discharge port is connected to a region of the garment 100 (in particular, the air containment section 110) and can discharge air contained in the garment 100 to the outside.

[0073] The plug can open and close the outlet. For example, when the plug covers the outlet, air leakage to the outside is minimized during air injection into the garment 100 via the air injection device 200, thereby injecting air more efficiently. Furthermore, after air injection, it also prevents the air contained in the garment 100 from leaking out and seals it.

[0074] On the other hand, when the plug is opened to open the outlet, the air contained in the clothing 100 can be discharged to the outside. That is, when the outlet is opened and at least one area of ​​the clothing 100 is pressurized, the air contained in the plurality of air-containing parts 110 is passed sequentially or simultaneously through the second area 112 and can be discharged to the outside through the outlet.

[0075] Figure 5 A cross-sectional view of a polymer film coating 400 formed on a fabric of a clothing and air injection device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0076] The fabric can be used as a reference. Figures 1 to 4 At least one of the first to fourth fabrics described in detail.

[0077] Reference Figure 5 The polymer film coating 400 is formed by bonding a thermoplastic polymer film 420 to one side of the base fabric 410, and may include the base fabric 410, the thermoplastic polymer film 420 and the adhesive 430 formed therebetween.

[0078] In this embodiment, the polymer film coatings 400 may be formed facing each other on the first and second fabrics (or the third and fourth fabrics). In this case, the polymer film coatings 400 are bonded together to form a sealed space on the inside, or to prevent the functional raw materials from being exposed to external moisture or water, etc.

[0079] The base fabric 410 refers to the fabric that becomes the raw material for clothing, such as a fabric woven from natural fibers and / or synthetic fibers.

[0080] The thermoplastic polymer film 420 can refer to a film composed of a polymer having thermoplastic properties that allow it to melt or deform upon heating. In embodiments, the thermoplastic polymer film 420 removes moisture and allows for air permeability, while the polymer film coating 400 can have waterproof and windproof functions.

[0081] The thermoplastic polymer film 420 may be composed of at least one or a combination of polyurethane (PU), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), polyimide (PI), polycarbonate (PC), acrylic resin, and polystyrene (PS). Preferably, at least one of polyurethane (PU), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) may be used as the material. However, it is not limited to this.

[0082] In this embodiment, the thickness of the thermoplastic polymer film 420 can be in the range of 20 μm to 200 μm, preferably 40 μm to 100 μm. However, it is not limited to this. When the thickness of the thermoplastic polymer film 420 is less than 20 μm, problems such as reduced windproof or waterproof function, or reduced processability due to adhesion between polymer film coatings may occur. When the thickness of the thermoplastic polymer film 420 is greater than 200 μm, the mobility during garment manufacturing may be reduced.

[0083] Furthermore, in the embodiments, the hardness of the thermoplastic polymer film 420 can be in the range of Shore 80A to 95A, preferably in the range of Shore 85A to Shore 90A. However, it is not limited to this.

[0084] Furthermore, in the embodiments, the heat distortion temperature of the thermoplastic polymer film 420 can be from 140°C to 200°C, preferably from 160°C to 180°C. However, it is not limited to this.

[0085] Adhesive 430 is applied to one side of the thermoplastic polymer film 420 to bond the base fabric 410 and the thermoplastic polymer film 420. In embodiments, adhesive 430 may be a thermosetting adhesive that cures within a specified temperature range (e.g., 80°C to 90°C). Adhesive 430 may be, for example, at least one of solvent-based, hot-melt, and polyurethane-based adhesives, but is not limited thereto.

[0086] In this embodiment, the adhesive 430 between the base fabric 410 and the thermoplastic polymer film 420 is thermocured, thereby bonding the base fabric 410 and the thermoplastic polymer film 420 together. The thermocuring process can be performed by laminating or hot pressing. Laminating refers to a method of heating and pressing an object while passing it between multiple heated rollers. For example, the laminated base fabric 410 and thermoplastic polymer film 420 are passed between multiple heated rollers, heated and pressurized, causing the adhesive 430 to thermocur, thereby bonding the base fabric 410 and the thermoplastic polymer film 420 together.

[0087] Figure 6 This illustrates an example of the use of functional clothing according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0088] first, Figure 6 (a) indicates a functional garment 1000 in which air is expelled from the garment 100. When air is to flow into the garment 100, the air injection device 200, which is stored inside the pocket 120 of the garment 100, can be exposed to the outside.

[0089] and, Figure 6 (b) indicates a functional garment 1000 in which air flows into the garment 100. A user holds the grip 222 of the air injection device 200 to separate the third fabric from the fourth surface, opening the air inlet 230 and allowing air to be blown into the body portion 220. When air is contained within the body portion 220, increasing its volume to its maximum, the user can hold one end of the body portion 220 and roll it around the connecting portion 210. Thus, as the volume of the body portion 220 decreases, the contained air can be transferred through the connecting portion 210 to the air-containing portion 110. The air transferred to the air-containing portion 110 can be transferred sequentially or simultaneously to the plurality of air-containing portions 110 formed on the garment 100 through the second region 112.

[0090] However, the method of using this functional garment 1000 is exemplary and can be adapted in various ways by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains, based on the embodiments to which this invention applies.
