Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of waterproof pants technology, specifically relating to a novel airtight zipper and waterproof pants containing the same. Background Technology

[0002] Waterproof pants are essential equipment for outdoor activities, water sports, and special work environments. Traditional waterproof pants typically combine lightweight fabrics with zippers to ensure the wearer's comfort and freedom of movement. However, the waterproof performance of the zipper has remained a key technical challenge in existing waterproof pants designs.

[0003] Most existing waterproof trouser zippers use the following design: a regular zipper is sewn onto a lightweight fabric body, with an additional waterproof fabric piece added behind the zipper. When the zipper is closed, this extra waterproof fabric folds behind the zipper to prevent water penetration. This design achieves a certain degree of waterproofing, but its structure and working principle have some limitations.

[0004] The need to add extra waterproof fabric behind the zipper can cause discomfort during activity, especially when bending joints, as this design restricts freedom of movement. While the extra waterproof fabric can block water, potential leak points remain at the seams, particularly during high-intensity exercise or prolonged immersion in water, where moisture can seep in through the gaps between the fabric and the zipper. The extra waterproof fabric is also prone to wear and tear from repeated folding and unfolding, potentially causing the zipper to malfunction over time. Existing waterproof pants zipper designs add extra components and sewing steps, increasing production costs, weight, and bulk.

[0005] In view of this, we propose a novel airtight zipper and waterproof pants containing it. By eliminating the waterproof fabric after the zipper is removed, and by performing surface treatment and attaching double-layer waterproof strips at the zipper seam, not only is the waterproof performance improved, but the wearing comfort is also enhanced, the product structure is simplified, and the above-mentioned defects in the prior art are overcome.

[0008] A novel airtight zipper includes a zipper, fabric strips on both sides of the zipper are embedded in the pants body and sewn to the pants body, the zipper and the pants body are sewn together to form a seam, and an adhesive layer is coated on the surface of the pants body and around the seam, and a sticker is adhered to the surface of the adhesive layer.

[0009] The fabric straps on both sides of the zipper are embedded into the trouser body and secured with sewing, creating a seamless integration between the zipper and the trouser body and minimizing potential channels for moisture penetration. At the seam where the zipper and trouser body are sewn together, the trouser body surface is coated with an adhesive layer. This adhesive layer provides additional sealing, preventing moisture from seeping through the seam holes. Adhesive strips, typically double-layered waterproof strips, are bonded to the adhesive layer, forming an additional waterproof barrier around the seam and further enhancing the overall waterproof performance.

[0010] Preferably, the webbing is made of polyurethane fiber or synthetic fiber. It has high strength and good abrasion resistance, and can withstand the pulling and friction in daily use.

[0011] Preferably, the adhesive material for the bonding layer is polyurethane adhesive or silicone adhesive. This ensures that the strip adheres firmly to the surface of the trousers and prevents moisture penetration.

[0012] Preferably, the welt is a double-layered waterproof welt. The double-layered waterproof welt provides double protection, effectively preventing moisture from entering the pants through the zipper.

[0013] A type of waterproof pants incorporating the aforementioned novel airtight zipper. The use of this new airtight zipper significantly enhances the waterproof performance of the pants, ensuring the wearer remains dry in damp environments. The elimination of traditional waterproof fabric reduces discomfort and provides a more comfortable wearing experience.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are:

[0015] This new type of airtight zipper and waterproof pants incorporating it create a tightly integrated unit by embedding polyurethane or synthetic fiber strips on both sides of the zipper into the pant body and sewing them in place. An adhesive layer is applied to the seams, and polyurethane or silicone adhesives are used to ensure the strips adhere firmly, creating a more airtight environment when the zipper is closed. This design effectively prevents moisture and sediment from entering the pants, significantly improving their waterproof performance.

[0016] This new type of airtight zipper and the waterproof pants incorporating it improve wearing comfort. Eliminating the waterproof fabric behind the traditional zipper reduces restriction and discomfort, allowing for greater freedom of movement. Simultaneously, its simplified design lowers the structure of the waterproof pants, reducing production costs and product weight, while increasing durability. It can withstand prolonged use and repeated folding, meeting users' demands for durability. It also enhances the product's aesthetics; its sleek and simple design satisfies modern consumers' pursuit of style.
