Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a garment with a thermal insulation structure, wherein the garment is designed in particular for use in the outdoor sector.

[0002] A primary function of clothing, especially in outdoor settings, is to thermally insulate the wearer's body from the environment and minimize heat loss. This is typically achieved through a construction where a highly insulating material is sandwiched between an outer and inner layer. Both natural insulating materials, particularly down, and synthetic materials are used for this purpose.

[0003] To prevent the insulation material from shifting or redistributing unintentionally, it is typically distributed across individual chambers or compartments, as described in DE 10 2014 200 824 A1. A further known design involves directly sewing or quilting the outer and inner layers of the garment together, thereby creating individual chambers filled with insulation material. However, this seam construction can allow heat to escape through the seam, or alternatively, it can allow cold air to penetrate the garment. A further disadvantage of this design is that there is no insulation material in the seam areas where the outer and inner layers are in direct contact. This results in significant heat loss in the seam areas.The technical teaching published in DE 10 2014 200 824 A1 allows for a reduction in heat loss through the seams. Further technical background is provided by EP 0 270 152 A1, DE 203 12 654 U1, US 2020 / 0 138 134 A1 and US 2015 / 0 118 438 A1.

[0004] US Patent 5,713,079 A relates to an insulated garment comprising an outer fabric and an inner fabric, with at least two insulating layers between the inner and outer fabrics. A first insulating layer, adjacent to the outer fabric, is a synthetic material, and a second insulating layer, adjacent to the inner fabric, is goose down. The seams that attach the inner and outer fabrics to the two insulating layers are arranged such that the seams of one of the insulating layers are adjacent to the midpoints between the seams of the second insulating layer.

[0005] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a thermal insulation structure that further minimizes heat loss. This object is achieved by the subject matter of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims, the figures, and the following description.

[0006] The present invention provides a thermal insulation structure for a garment. This thermal insulation structure is characterized in particular by minimizing or at least reducing heat loss in the area of ​​potential seams. In one embodiment, the thermal insulation structure allows for the inclusion of an additional volume of air, which acts as a thermal barrier to the outside, especially without any intermediate gaps. Accordingly, one aspect of the invention provides a garment with a thermal insulation structure according to the invention. The garment according to the invention can be designed as a jacket or coat, a vest, or trousers in any desired form.The thermal insulation structure comprises a first insulation element with a first insulating layer, a second with a second insulating layer, and a third insulation element with a third insulating layer, wherein the second insulating element has a different initial shape than the first (and third) insulating element, wherein the first insulating element is connected to the second insulating element, and wherein, when the garment is worn, the second insulating element is deformed by pressure on an inside of the thermal insulation structure in such a way that a contact area in which the first insulating element touches the second insulating element is increased.

[0007] The initial shape preferably refers to a shape of the first and second insulating elements when no pressure is exerted on the inside of the thermal insulation structure. Furthermore, the shape preferably refers to a cross-sectional shape of the first and second insulating elements. The term "other initial shape" can also refer to the orientation of the first and second insulating elements. That is, the first and second insulating elements can both have the same or a similar (cross-sectional) shape, e.g., both can have an oval shape, but they can be oriented differently. For example, the first insulating element can have a wafer-like cross-section and the second insulating element can have a prolate cross-section. Such embodiments with the same shape but different orientations of the first and second insulating elements are also covered by the term "other initial shape."

[0008] Preferably, the thermal insulation structure comprises a plurality of first insulation elements and a plurality of second insulation elements, wherein the second insulation elements each have a different initial shape than the first insulation elements, wherein each first insulation element is connected to at least one second insulation element, and wherein, when the garment is worn, the second insulation elements are deformed by pressure on the inside of the thermal insulation structure in such a way that contact areas in which the first insulation elements touch the second insulation elements are enlarged.

[0009] Preferably, the contact area between each first insulating element and the respective second insulating element(s) to which it is connected is increased when the garment is worn. However, it is also possible that contact areas are increased only between some of the first and second insulating elements.

[0010] When the garment according to the invention is worn by a wearer, the first and second insulation elements with the first and second insulation layers are arranged one above the other, while the third insulation element with the third insulation layer is arranged next to the first and second insulation elements.

[0011] The thermal insulation structure according to the invention combines the advantages of different initial shapes in the first and second insulation elements with a third insulation element comprising a third insulation layer. When the garment is worn, the second insulation elements are deformed in such a way that they change from their initially three-dimensional, tall shape to a flatter shape, thus extending beyond any seams and at least partially sealing any seams or gaps through which heat could escape. Furthermore, the third insulation element increases thermal resistance by preferably completely, but at least partially, covering any seam between the first and second insulation elements.

[0012] Preferably, at least one first insulating element and at least one second insulating element are connected at a corresponding seam, and the enlarged contact area is adjacent to the seam, such that the at least one second insulating element substantially overlaps the seam when the garment is worn, and the third insulating element additionally covers the seam between the first insulating element and the second insulating element.

[0013] Preferably, all first and second insulation elements are connected by appropriate seams, and there are enlarged contact areas adjacent to all such seams, so that the second insulation elements substantially overlap all seams, and third insulation elements additionally cover the seam between the first and second insulation elements, thereby increasing the thermal resistance when the garment is worn.

[0014] Generally, when this description refers to multiple first, second, and third insulation elements, specifically to "at least one first insulation element," "at least one second insulation element," or "at least one third insulation element," this preferably means all first, second, and third insulation elements. However, it is also possible that it means one or more, but not all, of the first and / or second and / or third insulation elements.

[0015] To produce such a thermal insulation structure according to the invention, layers of material can be joined together in such a way that cavities are formed between the layers. Seams can be used to join the fabric layers that make up the garment. A thermal insulation structure can be constructed from two or more discrete insulation elements, which are defined by layers of material.

[0016] Preferably, a garment according to the invention comprises a first insulating element with a first inner fabric layer and a first outer fabric layer, wherein the first insulating layer is arranged between the first inner fabric layer and the first outer fabric layer, and furthermore, the second insulating element comprises a second inner fabric layer and a second outer fabric layer, wherein the second insulating layer is arranged between the second inner fabric layer and the second outer fabric layer, and the third insulating element comprises a third inner fabric layer and a third outer fabric layer, wherein the third insulating layer is arranged between the third inner fabric layer and the third outer fabric layer.

[0017] Preferably, the first outer layer of fabric, the second outer layer of fabric and the third inner layer of fabric are connected to each other in such a way that the third insulating element represents the outermost insulating layer of the thermal insulation structure of the garment according to the invention when the garment is worn.

[0018] Preferably, at least one first insulating element and / or at least one second insulating element and / or one third insulating element comprises a filling material. In particular, all first and second insulating elements can comprise a filling material.

[0019] The filling material can significantly increase the thermal insulation of the insulating structure. Natural fibers or feathers, especially down, or synthetic fibers, which, unlike down, retain good insulating properties even when damp, are all possible filling materials. In a dry state, down offers excellent thermal insulation while remaining lightweight. Air, gels, foams, liquids, gases, or solids such as granules are also conceivable filling materials. Evacuated cavities, designed to reduce heat convection, are another option.

[0020] The first insulating layer and / or the second insulating layer and / or the third insulating layer can consist in particular of artificial down or of a non-woven fabric.

[0021] To achieve a specific level of insulation in an insulating layer, the stated goal is always to utilize multiple physical effects through the use of numerous different insulating materials. One thermodynamic phenomenon that can be harnessed through appropriate technical means is heat conduction or thermal diffusion.

[0022] Air, with a thermal conductivity of only 0.0262, is particularly suitable as a thermal resistance to inhibit heat conduction. WmK Compared to common materials in textile technology, such as cotton, polyester, or polyamide, which have a thermal conductivity ten times higher, heat energy losses at thermal bridges, such as seams or other joints where no insulating layer is present (which in turn traps air as thermal resistance), can be reduced with technical solutions as disclosed in DE102014200824 A1. To further increase the insulating capacity for more demanding requirements of a thermal insulation structure, the two physical effects described above can be applied again.The increase in the thermal resistance of the garment according to the invention with a heat insulation structure, in order to overcome the problem of minimizing losses of body heat within the volume which is demarcated from the environment by the third outer layer when the garment is worn, is achieved according to the invention by the first, the second and the third insulation element defining a cavity between them and this cavity being filled with a heat-storing medium, wherein the heat-storing medium is preferably air, which, as already explained above, is known from the prior art as a particularly good insulator and, due to its low thermal conductivity, represents a high thermal resistance that must be overcome for the escaping amount of heat when leaving the volume demarcated from the environment by the third outer layer.

[0023] The cavity between the first, second and third insulating elements is also filled with other heat-storing media, such as down or a non-woven material, which may be, but is not limited to, a meltblown fleece, a spunlaid fleece, a staple fleece or a flashspun fleece made of polyester or cellulose material.

[0024] One way to improve the regulation of stored heat within the volume separated from the environment by the third outer layer of the garment is to optionally incorporate phase-change materials into the respective non-woven fabrics. This supports temperature management by absorbing and storing excess heat and releasing stored heat when environmental conditions require it, such as when entering a heated room and / or leaving a heated room into a relatively colder environment. Preferably, the phase-change materials can be dispersed within inclusion structures and protected from abrasion to prevent their release.

[0025] As already mentioned, the increase in thermal resistance is achieved by at least partially sealing any seams or gaps between the first and second elements of the thermal insulation structure. Furthermore, the third insulation element, which covers the seams between the first and second insulation elements, can also serve to prevent moisture, such as fog or rain, from reaching the wearer's / user's body. Keeping moisture away from the wearer of the garment according to the invention can be supported by the at least water-resistant design of the third outer fabric layer of the third insulation element. In addition, the third outer fabric layer can have additional functionalities, such as, but not limited to, water resistance, waterproofness, fire resistance, breathability, windproofness, tear resistance, and elasticity.The additional functionality can preferably be achieved by using membrane materials as a third outer fabric layer. In some embodiments, the seams between the first, second, and third insulation elements can be designed to reduce and / or prevent movement of the insulation layers in the garment, wherein the first, second, and / or third insulation layer is divided into several parts arranged in chambers formed by the inner and outer fabric layers of the insulation element. This embodiment of the thermal insulation structure of the garment according to the invention, with its plurality of first, second, and third insulation elements, also offers increased mechanical stability compared to a design with only one first, second, and / or third insulation element each.

[0026] In one possible embodiment, the chambers of the first and / or second insulation elements run in a horizontal direction and the chambers of the third insulation elements run in a vertical direction when the garment is worn.

[0027] In one possible embodiment, the seams between the first, second, and third insulation elements of the thermal insulation structure of the garment according to the invention can be designed such that the first outer layer of fabric of the first insulation element, the second outer layer of fabric of the second insulation element, and the third inner layer of fabric of the third insulation element are connected to one another. The term "seams" used generally is not limited to seams in the textile-technical sense, but is open to the use of other joining methods, such as various welding processes like ultrasonic welding, infrared or friction welding, or adhesive bonding.

[0028] An optional embodiment of the garment according to the invention comprises an inner part, which has the first insulating element and the second insulating element, and an outer part, which has the third insulating element. Air is enclosed between the inner part and the outer part as thermal resistance, wherein the inner part and the outer part are connected to each other by connecting elements. Air is thereby enclosed in the cavity that is formed or bounded between the first insulating element and the second insulating element of the inner part and the third insulating element of the outer part.

[0029] The connecting elements that connect the inner part and the outer part of the garment according to the invention can be designed to be detachable, e.g. by snap fasteners, zipper or hook and loop fastener (e.g. available under the brand name Velcro®).

[0030] In one possible embodiment, the connecting elements between the inner part and the outer part of the garment according to the invention can preferably be arranged exclusively at the shoulder and hip areas of the garment.

[0031] In the following detailed description, currently preferred embodiments and configurations of the invention are described with reference to the following figures. Here, [the figures] show... Fig. 1 an embodiment of a garment according to the invention as a jacket, Fig. 2an embodiment of a garment according to the invention as a vest, Fig. 3 an embodiment of a garment according to the invention as trousers, Fig. 4a thermal insulation structure of a garment according to the invention Fig. 1, Fig. 2 or Fig. 3 in cross-section and Fig. 5a cocoon structure of a garment according to the invention with inner part and outer part.

[0032] Fig. Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the garment according to the invention as a jacket 100. The embodiment of the jacket 100 can also be designed as a coat by making the back and chest sections correspondingly longer. Each jacket 100 or coat has a thermal insulation structure 400 according to the invention in its individual components, such as the back and chest sections as well as the sleeves.

[0033] Fig. Figure 2 shows an embodiment of the garment according to the invention as a vest 200. The sleeve length of such an embodiment of the garment according to the invention as a vest 200 can vary, for example, from a sleeve length extending to the elbow of the wearer when the garment according to the invention is worn as a vest 200, or, for example, only to the shoulder of the wearer when the garment according to the invention is worn as a vest 200. A vest 200 has a thermal insulation structure 400 according to the invention in its individual components, such as in the back and chest sections as well as in the sleeves – if present in the embodiment.

[0034] Fig. Figure 3 shows an embodiment of the garment according to the invention as trousers 300. The leg length of such an embodiment of the garment according to the invention as trousers 300 can vary, for example, from a leg length to the knee of a wearer when the garment according to the invention is worn as trousers 300, or for example, to the instep of a wearer when the garment according to the invention is worn as trousers 300. A pair of trousers 300 has a thermal insulation structure 400 according to the invention in the individual components, such as in the front and back leg sections, in the buttocks, and in the crotch.

[0035] The Fig. Figure 4 shows an embodiment of a thermal insulation structure 400 according to the invention. The thermal insulation structure 400 can be used, for example, in clothing. The thermal insulation structure 400 comprises a first insulation element 410, a second insulation element 420, and a third insulation element 430. The second insulation element 420 has a different initial shape than the first insulation element 410, and the first insulation element 410, the second insulation element 420, and the third insulation element are connected to one another.When a garment with the thermal insulation structure 400 is worn, the third insulation element 430 points outwards and the second insulation element 420 is deformed by pressure on an inside of the thermal insulation structure 400, so that contact surfaces 450, in which the first insulation elements 410 touch the second insulation elements 420, are enlarged and the third insulation element 430, together with the first insulation element 410 and the second insulation element 420, forms a cavity 440 in which a first heat storage medium (e.g. air) is enclosed.

[0036] Fig. Figure 5 shows the cocoon structure of the garment 100, 200, 300 according to the invention with the connecting elements 510 between the inner part 511 of the garment 100, 200, 300 according to the invention and the outer part 512 of the garment 100, 200, 300 according to the invention.

[0037] In the Fig.In the embodiment shown in Figure 4, the thermal insulation structure 400 has a plurality of first insulation elements 410 and a plurality of second insulation elements 420. The second insulation elements 420 each have a different initial shape than the first insulation elements 410. Each first insulation element 410 is connected to at least one second insulation element 420. When a garment with the thermal insulation structure 400 is worn, the second insulation elements 420 are deformed by pressure on the inside of the thermal insulation structure 400, thus enlarging the contact surfaces 450 in which the first insulation elements 410 touch the second insulation elements 420. In the advantageous case shown here, there are enlarged contact surfaces 450 between all insulation elements 410, 420 of the thermal insulation structure 400 when pressure is applied, so that connections 460, e.g.,Seams 460 are sealed by the enlarged contact surfaces 450. However, it is also possible that contact surfaces are only enlarged between some of the first and second insulating elements 410, 420.

[0038] The enlarged contact areas 450, where the first insulating elements 410 touch the second insulating elements 420, can particularly reduce the escape of body heat when a garment with a thermal insulation structure 400 is worn. The third insulating element 430 itself and the resulting cavity 440 between the first insulating elements 420, the second insulating elements 420, and the third insulating elements 430 increase the thermal resistance of the thermal insulation structure 400. The insulating elements 410, 420, 430 can be formed, for example, by layers of fabric 411, 412, 421, 422, 431, 432, which are joined at seams 460 or connecting elements 510, forming cavities 440 and 470 between them.

[0039] The fabric layers 411, 412, 421, 422, 431, 432 can be constructed from a single material or, in some embodiments, from several materials. Useful materials for the construction of such fabric layers 411, 412, 421, 422, 431, 432 include, but are not limited to, down-proof materials such as micro-lightweights, lightweight fabrics, ultra-lightweight fabrics, lightweight fabrics, breathable fabrics, polyesters such as woven polyester and brushed polyester, nylon, cloth, cotton, wool, fleece, silk, flannel, tightly knitted or woven fabrics, or combinations thereof.

[0040] Furthermore, the fabric layers 411, 412, 421, 422, 431, 432 can be treated, for example, with a down sealant or chemical agents such as a durable water repellent or the like. The fabric layers 411, 412, 421, 422, 431, 432 can also be breathable and / or windproof, for example. In addition, the cavities 470, 480 of the first, second, and third insulation elements 410, 420, 430 can each be filled with a first insulation layer 413, a second insulation layer 423, and a third insulation layer 433, which in some embodiments consist of the same material for the first, second, and third insulation elements 410, 420, 430. In further embodiments, the first, second and third insulation layers 413, 423, 433 can also consist of different materials.The insulation layers 412, 423, and 433 can consist of, but are not limited to, air; gels, foams, liquids, gases, or solids such as granules are also conceivable as filling materials. Evacuated cavities to reduce heat convection are also conceivable.

[0041] As already mentioned, the first, second, and third insulating elements define a cavity 440 between them, and this cavity is filled with a heat-storing medium, preferably air. Preferably, the cavity 440 defined between the first, second, and third insulating elements can also be filled with other heat-storing media, such as down or a non-woven material, which can be, but is not limited to, a meltblown nonwoven, a spunlaid nonwoven, a staple nonwoven, or a flashspun nonwoven made of polyester or cellulose material, optionally comprising a phase-change material to support temperature management by absorbing and storing excess heat and releasing stored heat.

[0042] Preferably, the first and second insulation elements 410, 420 are connected to each other by a corresponding seam 460. Preferably, the enlarged contact surfaces 450, which are generated by the pressure on the inside of the thermal insulation structure 400 when a garment with this structure is worn, are located adjacent to the seams 460, so that the second insulation elements 420 substantially overlap or cover the seams 450 when the garment is worn.

[0043] The seams 460 between the first and second insulation elements 410, 420 are preferably, in addition to the enlarged contact surfaces 450, which are generated by the pressure on the inside of the thermal insulation structure 400 when wearing a garment with the same, adjacent to the seams 460, so that the second insulation elements 420 substantially overlap or cover the seams 450 when the garment is worn, covered by the third insulation element 430 in order to further reduce heat loss through the seams 460.

[0044] The seams 460 can, for example, be quilted seams. The seams 460 can also be formed by other known construction methods, including but not limited to chemical joining, mechanical joining, thermal joining, adhesives, joining tape, fusible threads and / or materials, welding such as ultrasonic welding, radio frequency welding, etc., topstitching with, for example, blanket stitch, chain stitch, cross stitch, decorative stitch, garter stitch, running stitch, embroidery stitch, zigzag stitch, stretch stitch, overcast stitch, coverstitch, topstitch, etc., riveting, heat treatment, or combinations thereof. Furthermore, the seams or parts of the seams can include a seal that makes it difficult for heat, air, liquid, dirt, etc., to penetrate the seams 460. In some embodiments, other types of connections 460 are also conceivable.The respective first and second insulation elements 410 and 420 can, for example, also be connected to each other via beams or differently designed connection areas.

[0045] The connecting elements 510 can, for example, be quilted seams. The connecting elements 510 can also be formed by other known construction methods, including but not limited to chemical joining, mechanical joining, thermal joining, adhesives, joining tape, fusible threads and / or materials, welding such as ultrasonic welding, radio frequency welding, etc., topstitching with, for example, blanket stitch, chain stitch, cross stitch, decorative stitch, garter stitch, running stitch, embroidery stitch, zigzag stitch, stretch stitch, overcast stitch, coverstitch, topstitch, etc., rivets, heat treatment, or combinations thereof. Furthermore, the seams or parts of the seams can include a seal that makes it difficult for heat, air, liquid, dirt, etc., to penetrate the seams 510, especially from the outside. In some embodiments, other types of connections 510 are also conceivable.The respective first and second insulation elements 410 and 420 as inner part 511 and the third insulation elements 430 can, for example, also be connected to each other via beams or differently designed connection areas. In particular, the connecting elements 510 can be designed as a detachable connection, such as a zipper, a hook and loop fastener, snap fasteners, or eyelet, rivet, hole, or toggle button.

[0046] Shown here are three first and two second insulation elements 410 and 420, and one third insulation element 430. However, any number of first and / or second insulation elements 410, 420 greater than two and any number of third insulation elements 430 greater than one is conceivable. It is also possible that there is only one first insulation element 410, one second insulation element 420, and one third insulation element 430. For the sake of simplicity, however, the plural is used in the following description of embodiment 400. The first insulation elements 410 have a different initial shape than the second insulation elements 420. As shown in Figure 4, the initial shape of the insulation elements refers to the shape of the insulation elements 410, 420 in an unloaded state, i.e., in a state in which no pressure—for example, by someone wearing a jacket—is exerted on the thermal insulation structure 400.

[0047] Furthermore, a first insulation element 410 is connected to a second insulation element 420. It is particularly preferred that the first insulation elements 410 and the second insulation elements 420 are arranged alternately one below the other and next to the third insulation elements 430, as shown in Figure 4. It can be advantageous if all insulation elements 410, 420 are joined alternately with each other and finally as a composite with the third insulation elements 430, e.g., to provide a continuous thermal insulation structure 400, as shown here.

[0048] The second insulating elements 420 can be deformed during use, so that the contact areas 450, where the first insulating elements 410 touch the second insulating elements 420, are enlarged by pressure on an inner surface of the thermal insulation structure 400 generated while the garment is worn. The contact between the first and second insulating elements 410 and 420 can be direct. However, if the jacket 100 has, for example, another inner layer (not shown) arranged on the inside of the thermal insulation structure 400, the contact between the first and second insulating elements 410 and 420 can also be indirect, for example, by contact with such an inner layer in the respective areas.

[0049] As mentioned previously, the insulating elements 410, 420 are deformable. A given second insulating element 420 can be deformed during use such that part of the second insulating element 420 covers an adjacent seam 460 or part of the seam 230. In particular, the second insulating elements 420 can be designed to substantially overlap adjacent seams 460 during use, thus reducing heat loss at the seams 460. For example, when a user wears a garment with second insulating elements 420, the user's body or parts of the body can exert a force on the second insulating elements 420, pressing them against the seams 460 and / or the first insulating elements 410. This can cause the second insulating elements 420 to overlap the adjacent seams 460 with both layers 413, 423 and the filler material.

[0050] As already mentioned, the insulating element 430 is arranged next to the insulating elements 410 and 420. When the garment 100, 200, or 300 according to the invention is worn with a thermal insulation structure, the insulating element 430 faces outwards overall, and the inner fabric layer 431 of the insulating element 430 faces inwards. In particular, the third insulating element is arranged such that, while the garment 100, 200, or 300 according to the invention is being worn, it covers the seams 460 between the first and second insulating elements 410 and 420. This can result in the adjacent seams 460 being covered by the insulating layer 433 of the third insulating element 430, which increases the thermal resistance and thus reduces heat loss.

[0051] In some embodiments, the seams between the third insulating elements 430 can be designed to reduce and / or prevent movement of the insulating layer in the garment, wherein the third insulating layer 433 is divided into several parts arranged in chambers formed by the inner fabric layer 431 and the outer fabric layer 432 of the insulating element 430. This embodiment of the thermal insulation structure 400 of the garment 100, 200, 300 according to the invention, with the plurality of third insulating elements 430, also offers increased mechanical stability compared to a design with only one third insulating element 430. In some embodiments, the third insulating elements 430 can have special shapes, such as T-shape, arrow shape, trapezoidal shape, triangular shape, parallelogram shape, or rectangular shape.
