Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of clothing technology, and more particularly to a garment. Background Technology

[0002] The principle behind clothing keeping warm is mainly to reduce the heat exchange between the human body and the external environment. Because clothing is filled with insulating materials, such as down and wool, these materials are relatively fluffy, and there is a lot of air between the gaps in the materials, forming an air layer. Air is a poor conductor of heat, which effectively prevents the body's heat from being transferred to the external environment.

[0003] Existing thermal clothing, such as down jackets, commonly uses four, three, or two layers of down filling. However, the air layer formed after filling is a single, large unit, resulting in significant airflow. This airflow carries away heat, which is detrimental to the down jacket's warmth retention. Furthermore, during periods of high activity, the body generates a large amount of heat. Moisture inside the clothing needs to be transferred to the outside environment through the lining, inner lining, filling, and outer fabric. Due to the obstruction of multiple layers of materials, this transfer process is slow and inefficient, causing stuffiness and discomfort. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this disclosure is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a garment.

[0005] This disclosure provides a garment comprising a support layer and a plurality of filling units arranged sequentially on the support layer in a vertical direction, wherein the filling units are configured to be filled with thermal insulation material;

[0006] The upper part and left and right sides of the filling unit are fixed to the supporting layer, and an air channel with the lower part of the filling unit as the opening is formed between the filling unit and the supporting layer.

[0007] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the garment includes a lining, a lining fabric, and a support layer arranged sequentially from the inside out, and the filling unit is configured to be formed by folding the lining fabric in half and sewing the non-folded edges of the lining fabric together.

[0008] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the garment includes a lining fabric and a support layer arranged sequentially from the inside out, and the filling unit is configured to be formed by folding the lining fabric in half and sewing the non-folded edges of the lining fabric together.

[0009] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the garment includes a lining, a lining fabric, and a support layer arranged sequentially from the inside out. The plurality of filling units are configured to be formed by folding the lining fabric multiple times in the vertical direction, with the folded portions not overlapping each other, and the non-folded edges of the lining fabric are sewn together.

[0010] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the garment includes a lining fabric and a supporting layer arranged sequentially from the inside out. The plurality of filling units are configured to be formed by folding the lining fabric multiple times in the vertical direction, with the folded portions not overlapping each other, and the non-folded edges of the lining fabric are sewn together.

[0011] In one embodiment of this disclosure, two adjacent filling units are arranged close together.

[0012] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the upper part and the left and right sides of the filling unit are stitched and fixed to the bearing layer using quilting thread.

[0013] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the clothing includes a top and trousers, wherein the filling unit of the top is rectangular in shape and the filling unit of the trousers is part of a ring.

[0014] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the top includes a front chest portion and a back portion, wherein the length-to-width ratio of the filling unit in the front chest portion is 2-3:1, and the length-to-width ratio of the filling unit in the back portion is 5-6:1.

[0015] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the ratio of the arc length to the height of the annular portion of the padding unit of the pants is 3-5:1.

[0016] One of the beneficial effects of this disclosed garment is that the filling unit is fixed to the supporting layer at the top and sides, forming an air channel between the filling unit and the supporting layer. The air channel opens at the bottom of the filling unit where it is not fixed to the supporting layer, allowing air to enter and forming a second air layer. The first air layer is the air layer within the filling unit. By adding this air layer, heat exchange between the human body and the outside environment is effectively prevented. Furthermore, compared to traditional one-piece down filling, the garment of this disclosure has independent air channels, preventing air circulation and maintaining a relatively static airflow within the channels. This improves the insulation effect of the air channels and increases the garment's warmth retention.

[0017] Furthermore, when the ambient temperature is low, the hot air in the air channel moves upward. However, because the upper part and the left and right sides of the filling unit are fixed, the hot air cannot escape. Therefore, the air in the air channel remains in a relatively static state, which increases the warmth of the clothing. When the ambient temperature is high, the cold air in the air channel moves downward and escapes from the opening between the lower part of the filling unit and the supporting layer. The air inside the clothing does not need to pass through multiple layers of fabric such as the outer fabric, inner fabric, and lining fabric. It can escape through the filling unit and the air channel alone, which increases the breathability of the clothing, prevents the body from feeling stuffy, and improves the user experience.

[0034] Existing thermal clothing, due to its large, integral air layer, exhibits significant airflow, which carries away heat, hindering its warmth retention. Furthermore, during periods of high activity, the body generates substantial heat, requiring moisture from the clothing to be transferred to the outside environment through multiple layers of fabric, including the lining, inner lining, filling, and outer fabric. This transfer process is slow and inefficient due to the obstruction of these layers, resulting in stuffiness and discomfort. Therefore, this disclosure provides a garment that combines excellent warmth retention with breathability. For ease of understanding, please refer to the following... Figures 1-5 The specific structure and working principle of the clothing disclosed herein will be explained in detail with reference to the embodiments.

[0035] The clothing disclosed herein includes a support layer 1 and a plurality of filling units 2 arranged vertically on the support layer 1. The filling units 2 are configured to be filled with thermal insulation material. The upper part and the left and right sides of the filling units 2 are fixed to the support layer 1, and an air channel 3 is formed between the filling units 2 and the support layer 1 with the lower part of the filling units 2 as the opening.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 Specifically, the outermost layer 1, or the outer fabric, is the part of the garment that directly contacts the external environment. It plays a role in shaping the overall garment and defining its style. The fabric used for the outermost layer 1 varies depending on the specific use of the garment. For example, when the garment is a down jacket, the outermost layer 1 is made of waterproof and windproof fabric to cope with snow, strong winds, and other weather conditions. When the garment is thermal pants, the outermost layer 1 is made of soft and elastic fabric to accommodate various movements of the legs.

[0037] The insulation material inside filling unit 2 can also be different depending on the specific use of the clothing, such as down, wool, synthetic fibers, etc. These insulation materials are filled into filling unit 2 to form an air layer that can block the external environment from the human body. Because the surface structure of materials such as down, wool, and synthetic fibers can lock in air and reduce air flow, thereby reducing the heat exchange between the human body and the external environment.

[0038] The filling units 2 are arranged vertically in sequence, so that the filling units 2 are evenly distributed on the supporting layer 1, which increases the area of ​​down coverage and increases the warmth of the clothing.

[0039] The upper part and the edges of the left and right sides of the filling unit 2 are fixed to the supporting layer 1 by stitching or gluing. An air channel 3 is formed between the filling unit 2 and the supporting layer 1, with the lower part of the filling unit 2 being the unfixed position of the supporting layer 1. Air enters the air channel 3 through the opening, forming a second air layer. The first air layer is the air layer inside the filling unit 2. By adding an air layer, heat exchange between the human body and the outside environment is effectively isolated. Moreover, compared with the traditional whole-body down filling method, the air channels 3 of the garment disclosed in this invention are independent, and air cannot circulate. The air movement in the air channels 3 is relatively static, which improves the heat insulation effect of the air channels 3 and increases the warmth retention of the garment.

[0040] Furthermore, when the ambient temperature is low, the hot air in the air channel 3 moves upward. However, since the upper part and the left and right sides of the filling unit 2 are fixed, the hot air cannot escape. Therefore, the air in the air channel 3 remains in a relatively static state, which increases the warmth of the clothing. When the ambient temperature is high, the cold air in the air channel 3 moves downward and escapes from the opening between the lower part of the filling unit 2 and the supporting layer 1. The gas inside the clothing does not need to pass through multiple layers of fabric such as the outer fabric, inner fabric 21, and lining fabric 4. It can escape through the filling unit 2 and the air channel 3 alone, which increases the breathability of the clothing, prevents the body from feeling stuffy, and improves the user experience.

[0041] In one embodiment, the garment includes a lining 4, a lining fabric 21, and a support layer 1 arranged sequentially from the inside out. The filling unit 2 is constructed by folding the lining fabric 21 in half and sewing the non-folded edges of the lining fabric 21 together.

[0042] Specifically, traditional down filling structures include two-layer, three-layer, and four-layer structures. A two-layer structure includes an outer fabric and a lining fabric 4, with the insulation material directly filled between them. This is used for making lightweight garments but has relatively poor warmth retention. A three-layer structure typically lacks a lining fabric 4, consisting of an outer fabric and two inner fabrics 21, with the insulation material filled between the two inner fabrics 21, providing better warmth retention. A four-layer structure includes an outer fabric, two inner fabrics 21, and a lining fabric 4. The insulation material is still filled between the two inner fabrics 21, but the addition of a lining fabric 4, usually made of a skin-friendly and comfortable fabric, prevents down from escaping and aids in moisture wicking and breathability, and is typically used in high-end garment manufacturing.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2In this embodiment, the garment has a four-layer structure, comprising, from the inside out, a lining 4, a lining fabric 21, and a support layer 1. The lining fabric 21, cut to a suitable size, is folded in half to form two layers. Two non-folded edges are sewn together. Insulation material is then filled between the folded two layers of lining fabric 21 using a down filling machine or similar device. The remaining non-folded edge is then sewn together, allowing the two layers of lining fabric 21 to wrap the insulation material, forming a closed filling unit 2. Multiple filling units 2 are arranged sequentially on the support layer 1. The lining fabric 4 is sewn onto the opposite side of the filling unit 2 relative to the support layer 1, thus forming the four-layer garment structure: lining 4, lining fabric 21, and support layer 1. In this disclosed garment, each air channel 3 is independent, preventing air circulation. The air movement within the air channels 3 is relatively static, improving the insulation effect of the air channels 3 and increasing the garment's warmth. Furthermore, by first forming independent filling units 2 and then fixing them to the support layer 1, this design is suitable for smaller filling units 2 in the front chest area of ​​an upper garment.

[0044] In one embodiment, the garment includes a lining 21 and a support layer 1 arranged sequentially from the inside out, and the filling unit 2 is constructed by folding the lining 21 in half and sewing the non-folded edges of the lining 21 together.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 Specifically, the garment in this embodiment has a three-layer structure, including a lining 21 and a supporting layer 1 from the inside out. The lining 21, cut to a suitable size, is folded in half to form two layers. Two non-folded edges are sewn together. Insulation material is then filled between the two folded lining layers using a down filling machine or similar device. The remaining non-folded edge is then sewn together, allowing the two lining layers 21 to wrap the insulation material, forming a closed filling unit 2. Multiple filling units 2 are arranged sequentially on the supporting layer 1, forming a three-layer garment structure: lining 21, lining 21, and supporting layer 1. The filling units 2 are independent of each other. Compared to traditional integral down filling, the garment of this disclosure has independent air channels 3, preventing air circulation. The air movement within the air channels 3 is relatively static, improving the insulation effect of the air channels 3 and increasing the garment's warmth.

[0046] In one embodiment, the garment includes a lining 4, a lining fabric 21, and a support layer 1 arranged sequentially from the inside out. Multiple filling units 2 are constructed by folding the lining fabric 21 multiple times in the vertical direction, with the folded portions not overlapping each other, and the non-folded edges of the lining fabric 21 are sewn together.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3Specifically, the garment in this embodiment has a five-layer structure, comprising, from the inside out, a lining 4, a lining fabric 21, and a support layer 1. The lining fabric 21, cut to the appropriate size, is folded multiple times to form three layers. Insulating material is then filled between the two inner layers of the lining fabric 21 using a down filling machine or similar device. Two unfolded edges are sewn together to form multiple closed filling units 2. These multiple filling units 2 are then fixed to the support layer 1. The lining fabric 4 is sewn onto the opposite side of the filling unit 2 relative to the support layer 1, thus forming a five-layer garment: lining 4, lining fabric 21, lining fabric 21, lining fabric 21, and support layer 1. In this disclosed garment, each air channel 3 is independent, preventing air circulation. The air movement within the air channels 3 is relatively static, improving the insulation effect of the air channels 3 and increasing the garment's warmth. Furthermore, compared to the construction of a single filling unit 2, this method saves on steps and is suitable for larger filling units 2 on the back of upper garments.

[0048] In one embodiment, the garment includes a lining fabric 21 and a support layer 1 arranged sequentially from the inside out. Multiple filling units 2 are constructed by folding the lining fabric 21 multiple times in the vertical direction, with the folded portions not overlapping each other, and the non-folded edges of the lining fabric 21 are sewn together.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 Specifically, the garment in this embodiment has a four-layer structure, comprising, from the inside out, a lining 4, a lining fabric 21, and a supporting layer 1. The lining fabric 21, cut to the appropriate size, is folded multiple times to form three layers. Insulating material is then filled between the two inner layers of lining fabric 21 using a down filling machine or similar device. Two unfolded edges are sewn together to form multiple closed filling units 2. These multiple filling units 2 are then fixed to the supporting layer 1, forming the four-layer garment structure: lining fabric 21, lining fabric 21, lining fabric 21, and supporting layer 1. In this disclosed garment, each air channel 3 is independent, preventing air circulation. The air movement within the air channels 3 is relatively static, improving the insulation effect of the air channels 3 and increasing the garment's warmth retention.

[0050] Furthermore, the various structures of the clothing disclosed herein do not increase the overall weight of the down jacket, but rather add an air layer, thereby improving the warmth and breathability of the clothing.

[0051] In one embodiment, two adjacent filling units 2 are arranged close together.

[0052] Specifically, the design of thermal clothing needs to consider the cold bridge effect. The cold bridge effect refers to the phenomenon where heat is abnormally lost through localized areas due to differences in material thermal conductivity or structural design defects. The principle is that highly thermally conductive materials or structures penetrate the insulation layer, forming a "shortcut" and disrupting the overall thermal resistance balance. Although commonly used in the construction field, similar concepts exist in clothing design, mainly manifesting at seams, cuffs, collars, and hems: if the seams or edges of clothing are not properly sealed, cold bridges may form, causing heat loss. This also applies to zippers and buttons, which are usually made of metal or other highly thermally conductive materials and feel particularly cold when in contact with the skin.

[0053] Taking down jackets as an example, different down-filled areas are usually connected by stitches. Since there is no down in the stitched areas, a significant amount of heat is lost, especially in down-filled structures consisting of an outer fabric and a lining fabric 4. Therefore, by arranging adjacent filling units 2 tightly together, the area of ​​the garment without down is reduced. At the same time, high-quality down, such as goose down, is selected, which has a higher loft than duck down. After filling, the filling units 2 expand, and the expanded parts adhere tightly, making it difficult for heat to escape to the external environment, thus improving the garment's warmth retention.

[0054] In one embodiment, the upper part and the left and right sides of the filling unit 2 are stitched and fixed to the supporting layer 1 using quilting.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 Specifically, the filling unit 2 and the supporting layer 1 can be fixed in various ways, such as by adhesive bonding, which is convenient, quick, and has a short process cycle. Compared with other methods, the quilted stitching method results in narrower seams, eliminating the need for additional insulation materials and preventing heat loss from the seams, thus improving the warmth of the garment.

[0056] In one embodiment, the clothing includes a shirt and pants, wherein the filling unit 2 of the shirt is rectangular in shape and the filling unit 2 of the pants is part of a ring.

[0057] Specifically, the clothing disclosed herein relates to tops and trousers worn as inner or outer garments. According to existing research, strip structures have lower bulk density and lower dispersion compared to grid structures. Strip structures provide better insulation performance because they allow more air to be trapped in a smaller, more uniformly distributed space, while reducing the cold bridging effect caused by structural unevenness. Therefore, the filling unit 2 of the top is rectangular, and the filling unit 2 of the trousers is part of a ring, both being strip structures that provide better insulation performance.

[0058] In one embodiment, the top includes a front chest portion and a back portion, wherein the length-to-width ratio of the filling unit 2 in the front chest portion is 2-3:1, and the length-to-width ratio of the filling unit 2 in the back portion is 5-6:1.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 , Figures 4-5 Specifically, the jacket is divided into a front chest section and a back section. The back section has a large and complete fabric piece, so a longer filling unit 2 is used, with a length-to-width ratio of 5-6:1. The front chest section consists of two fabric pieces connected by a zipper using double-sided tape, so a shorter filling unit 2 is used, with a length-to-width ratio of 2-3:1, depending on the garment size. The jacket also includes the sides connecting the front chest and back sections, as well as the sleeves and hood. Because these parts are relatively small or have irregular structures, traditional down filling methods are used.

[0060] In one embodiment, the ratio of the arc length to the height of the annular portion of the filling unit 2 in the pants is 3-5:1.

[0061] Specifically, the filling unit 2 of the pants is usually divided into a semi-ring on the front and a semi-ring on the back, and the ratio of the arc length of the ring to the height of the filling unit 2 is 3-5:1, depending on the size of the garment.

[0062] The various embodiments of this disclosure have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, and are not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or technical improvements to the embodiments in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
