Abstract
Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a clothing set comprising a plurality of clothing parts that are adapted to one another and can be releasably joined together to form a complete garment.
[0002] Such a set of clothing parts is known from the prior art in that, for example, leg sections of long trousers can be detached from the trousers via a zip connection, converting the long trousers into shorts or, conversely, short trousers into long trousers. Such zip connections also exist for sleeves, for example, converting a long-sleeved jacket into a sleeveless vest or vice versa. Both shortening or lengthening systems are known for functional outdoor clothing and offer the functional features of long sleeves / short sleeves, long legs / short legs.
[0003] With the known clothing sets, no garment components can be combined that fall outside the aforementioned and, in particular, predetermined functional characteristics. For example, the detachable and attachable leg or arm parts are made of the same material and have the same design, so that their zip-ability can only be determined by detecting a corresponding connecting device. The same applies, for example, to a detachable hood. There is no freedom of choice to assemble a customized garment from clothing components.
[0004] A disadvantage of a clothing set is that the ability to combine clothing items with other clothing items in the same set is very limited.
[0005] The object is achieved according to the invention in that the plurality of clothing items comprises at least three clothing items, wherein each clothing item of the plurality of clothing items comprises at least one connecting device for releasably connecting the respective clothing item to at least one other clothing item of the plurality of clothing items.
[0006] The present invention makes it possible to assemble a custom piece of clothing from a large number of matching clothing items belonging to a clothing set. The present invention thus allows the clothing items of the clothing set to be assembled in a patchwork fashion. Depending on the number of clothing items, a very large number of combinations of clothing items can be assembled, thus creating unique items of clothing.
[0007] A further advantage of the present invention is that the plurality of clothing parts comprises a larger number of clothing parts than the garment that can be assembled from the plurality of clothing parts. This ensures that variations and changes are possible by exchanging at least one additional clothing part.
[0008] A further advantage of the present invention is that at least one garment part of the plurality of garments comprises a heat-insulating material. This makes it possible to provide warming garment parts in selected areas of the garment assembled from the garments. The selection is subject to individual needs. Such a heat-insulating material can be any material that warms a body part covered by it or protects it from the cold.
[0009] A further advantage of the present invention is that at least one garment comprises a breathable material. By "breathable material" in the present invention, we mean that this material is a lightweight material that is permeable to air and is worn, for example, when a body part covered thereby does not need to be protected from the cold. This feature makes it possible to combine garments that have a warming function and those that do not, e.g., garments made of linen or cotton with garments made of wool, fleece, (artificial) leather, or (artificial) fur, in the garment to be produced.
[0010] A further advantage of the present invention is that, in a garment assembled from garment parts of the plurality of garments, the at least one connecting device of one garment part interacts with another connecting device of another garment part. The mutual action of the connecting devices facilitates the random assembly of different garment parts to create a garment.
[0011] A further advantage of the present invention is that the plurality of garments comprises at least two garments, each having an outer side and an inner side, wherein the at least two garments are tailored such that the two outer sides or inner sides are laterally reversed. This measure ensures that a garment to be created can be adapted to a plane of symmetry extending through the longitudinal axis of a person's body.
[0012] Another advantage of the present invention is that the at least one connecting device can create a mechanical connection between two garment pieces. Mechanical connections are resilient and result in a firm, yet detachable, connection between the two connected garment pieces.
[0013] It is also advantageous that the at least one connecting device can create a chemical connection between two garment items. Such a chemical connection is achieved, for example, via an adhesive. Multi-layer adhesive tapes are known that can be used in the connecting device according to the invention. It is also possible to combine a mechanical connection with a chemical connection. For example, a hook / eye connection can be combined with a multi-layer adhesive device to enhance the strength of the connection.
[0014] Another advantage is that the at least one connecting device can create a magnetic connection between two items of clothing. By selecting the magnet strength, different strengths of connection can be achieved between two items of clothing.
[0015] A garment created by the garment set according to the invention can therefore comprise several connecting devices which each establish a connection mechanically, chemically or magnetically or even mechanically and chemically.
[0016] Further advantages of the present invention emerge from the further features of the subclaims.

[0045] In Fig. 6 shows schematically and in perspective a garment C as a variation of the garments A or B, which is assembled from the garment part set 10.
[0046] In garment C, in comparison to garment B, the second garment part 13.2 is omitted.
[0047] The connecting device 5 of the first embodiment and / or the connecting device 15 of the second embodiment can be selected from the group consisting of zippers, zip fasteners, button / hole connections, snap fasteners, hook / eye connections, multi-adhesive strips, adhesion, and combinations thereof. One of the connecting elements 5.1 to 5.30 or 15.1 to 15.4 is a part that interacts with at least one other of the connecting elements 5.1 to 5.30 or 15.1 to 15.4, respectively, such that these two interacting parts can establish a detachable connection.
[0048] Preferably, in the illustrated embodiments, all connecting elements 5.1 to 5.30 or 15.1 to 15.3 should be designed in the same way. In other embodiments, however, connecting elements can be designed to fit together in pairs but differently from other pairs.
[0049] In the illustrated embodiments, the majority of clothing pieces 3 and 13 are made of an identical material. In other embodiments, clothing pieces of the majority of clothing pieces 3 and 13 may differ in terms of their respective materials. For example, clothing pieces 3.3 and / or 3.9 may be made of a heat-insulating material, and clothing pieces 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11 may be made of a light, airy (breathable) material.
[0050] The clothing parts 3.1 to 3.16 have an outer side 7, and the clothing parts 13.1 to 13.3 have an outer side 17. An inner side is not shown.
[0051] The plurality of clothing parts 3 comprises at least two clothing parts 3.7 and 3.8 and 3.12 and 3.13, each of which is cut in such a way that the two outer sides or inner sides are laterally reversed to each other.
[0052] In a preferred variant of the first embodiment, the clothing set 1, 10 is constructed in two layers. The outer side 7 forms a first outer layer of the plurality of clothing items 3. A second layer or base layer 9 is located beneath the plurality of clothing items 3 on the body side. This base layer 9 is formed continuously or in one piece over at least two clothing items of the clothing set 1 and preferably extends over the entire area of an upper or lower body of a person wearing the clothing set 1, 10.
[0053] By removing a piece of clothing from the clothing set 1, 10, the base layer 9 is exposed. It can then either be covered again with an alternative piece of clothing from the clothing set 1, 10 or remain freely visible. The base layer 9 can, for example, have a cooling mesh structure 9.1 or a structure made of heat-insulating material, so that individual pieces of clothing from the clothing set 1, 10 can be detached from other pieces of clothing from the clothing set 1, 10, for example, to achieve better ventilation without the person being unclothed in these areas. This is exemplified in Fig.4 for garment D. However, the underlay 9 can be present in all garments A, B, C, D, E, F, G and exposed accordingly. If the underlay 9 extends over a body area covered by many garments of the garment set, then the same mesh structure will be exposed at the locations where a garment of the garment set 1, 10 has been removed.
[0054] In a further variation, the base 9 extends over at least two items of clothing of the clothing set 1, 10 but is designed differently. The difference in design can be achieved through a different surface design, for example if colors or color gradients change. Furthermore, the surface can also be provided with motifs so that when individual items of clothing of the clothing set 1, 10 are removed, either entire motifs or parts of such motifs become visible. Such motifs can then be perceived from the outside as tattoos. The base 9 can also be designed differently in its nature. For example, structures can change in the areas extending over at least two items of clothing of the clothing set 1, 10.Preferably, a mesh structure of the base layer 9 extending beneath a garment of the garment set 1, 10 is firmly connected to a warming structure, such as wool, fur, or a heat-insulating synthetic fiber, extending beneath a garment of the garment set 1, 10 adjacent to the garment. This makes it possible for temperature-sensitive areas of a person's body to be formed, on the one hand, with a base layer 9 having a cooling mesh structure that maintains a distance from the skin, and, on the other hand, with a warming wool or fur structure.In this way, the base layer can have a climate-regulating property, regardless of the material of the outer layer, which enables a person wearing the clothing set 1, 10 to remove parts of the outer layer 7 by removing at least one piece of clothing from the clothing set 1, 10, even at temperature-sensitive parts of the body, without having to freeze.
