Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing technology, specifically to a lightweight, cold-weather garment. Background Technology
[0002] A winter coat is an outer garment lined with insulating materials such as synthetic fiber cotton. It consists of two parts: an inner layer for warmth and an outer layer for wind protection.
[0003] Existing cold-weather clothing typically uses thicker materials and multi-layered structures to ensure warmth, which increases the overall weight of the clothing and makes the wearer feel cumbersome, especially when engaging in activities such as mountaineering and skiing in winter, where existing cold-weather clothing significantly affects the wearer's movements.
[0004] Therefore, a new type of cold-weather clothing needs to be developed to supplement the existing types of cold-weather clothing. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0020] A lightweight, warm clothing, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3As shown, the garment includes a main body 1, which is divided into a windproof outer layer 11 and a thermal inner layer 12 along its thickness. The windproof outer layer 11 has an elastic fabric 2 in the elbow area, and a shell 4 is provided on the elastic fabric 2. The thermal inner layer 12 has an extension fabric 3 stacked on top of the elastic fabric 2. The two ends of the extension fabric 3 are connected to rubber bands 31, which pass through the extension fabric 3 and connect to the shell 4. The shell 4 has an adjustment mechanism 5 for controlling the length of the rubber bands 31. Specifically, the thermal inner layer 12 is filled with an aerogel thermal insulation pad. The aerogel thermal insulation pad is a thin thermal insulation material, which allows the thermal inner layer 12 to be designed to be thin while still ensuring its thermal insulation effect.
[0021] Practical effect: By controlling the adjustment mechanism 5, the length of the elastic band 31 can be controlled, thereby changing the length of the extension fabric 3, so as to adjust the position of the elbow of the cold-proof clothing, allowing the wearer to move their elbows freely when doing activities such as mountain climbing and skiing.
[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the adjustment mechanism 5 includes a spool 51, a ratchet 52, a pawl 53, and a tension spring 54. The spool 51 extends out of the housing 4 and is provided with an adjustment knob 511. The ratchet 52 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the spool 51 within the housing 4. The ratchet 52 is rotatably disposed within the housing 4. The pawl 53 abuts against the ratchet 52 for unidirectional rotation of the ratchet 52. The pawl 53 extends out of the housing 4 and is provided with a lever 531. One end of the tension spring 54 is connected to the housing 4, and the other end of the tension spring 54 is connected to the pawl 53. A limiting component is provided inside the housing 4 to limit the degree of rotation of the spool 51. The limiting component includes stops 6 symmetrically disposed within the housing 4.
[0023] Specific operation: Under normal circumstances, the elastic band 31 is in a taut state, causing the extension fabric 3 to be in a stacked state. When the wearer is engaged in activities such as mountain climbing or skiing, by operating the lever 531, the elastic band 31 is made to spring back, causing the extension fabric 3 to extend, thus increasing the elbow area of the cold-weather clothing body, so as not to affect the movement of the elbow. When it is not necessary to expand the elbow area, the wearer can rotate the adjustment knob 511 to make the elastic band 31 rotate with the roller 51 until the elastic band 31 contacts the stop blocks 6 on both sides, so that the extension fabric 3 returns to the stacked state.
[0024] like Figure 4As shown, the elastic fabric 2 is woven with elastic thermal yarn bundles 7 in a jacquard pattern. The front loops of the jacquard pattern are represented by forks, the tucked loops by circles, and the floats by frames. In this embodiment, the jacquard pattern is represented as a seven-way cycle as follows: First line: fork ...
[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, the elastic thermal yarn bundle 7 is made of spandex fiber 8 and high-tenacity fiber 9 twisted together. The spandex fiber 8 has good elasticity, and the high-tenacity fiber 9 has good thermal insulation properties, so that the elastic fabric 2 made can both keep warm and have good elasticity to adapt to the movement of the elbow.
[0026] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0027] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
