Description

Title of the invention:

[0001] Textile scarf with integrated activated carbon layer for odor control and improvement of skin climate. Technical field:

[0002] The present invention relates to a wearable textile product, in particular a scarf, which, in addition to its warming function, has an odor-neutralizing, moisture-regulating, and antibacterial effect. The invention belongs to the field of functional clothing, particularly in the leisure, sports, and healthcare sectors. Background of the invention:

[0003] Clothing accessories like scarves are often worn in direct contact with sensitive skin areas around the neck, chin, and nape. Physical activity, stress, or exposure to heat can lead to increased perspiration in these areas, which in turn can cause unpleasant odors and an uncomfortable skin environment. Conventional scarves offer no functional properties for odor control or moisture regulation. Synthetic materials also tend to develop odors. Purpose of the invention:

[0004] The invention aims to provide a scarf which, in addition to its conventional function as a warming textile, is also able to absorb unpleasant body odors, regulate moisture and thereby noticeably improve the skin climate in the sensitive neck area - without the use of fragrances or chemical additives. Solution to the problem:

[0005] The problem is solved by a multi-layered scarf with an integrated layer of activated carbon fabric that absorbs odors, is antibacterial, and regulates moisture. An intermediate layer for air circulation and functional accessories such as closure systems or storage pockets can be integrated as options. embodiment of the invention:

[0006] The SOFLEX FRESH SCARF preferably consists of three textile layers: 1. Outer layer: A skin-friendly outer layer, consisting of natural or skin-compatible materials such as cotton, organic cotton, modal, wool, or other suitable natural fibers. This layer enhances comfort and provides warmth. 2nd inner layer: A functional layer made of activated carbon fabric, for example based on polyester with embedded carbon fibers. This layer is functionally designed for - Absorption of sweat and ambient odors, - Reduction of bacterial activity in the textile, - Regulation of the local humidity balance. 3. Optional intermediate layer: An air-permeable mesh or net fabric can be provided between the inner and outer layers, which promotes air circulation and thus further increases the freshness effect.

[0007] Other optional features: • The scarf can be equipped with a fastening system (e.g. magnetic buttons, Velcro or snap fasteners) to allow for easy and secure application. • Additionally, the scarf may have integrated storage pockets, for example for discreet and close-to-the-body storage of a mobile phone or other items. • The standard size is approximately 120 cm × 25 cm. Depending on the application, the scarf can also be made in other dimensions, for example as a shawl or multifunctional neckerchief.

[0008] Advantages of the invention: • Odor control: Unpleasant odors caused by sweat in the neck, chin and shoulder area are effectively absorbed. • Antibacterial effect: Germ formation in the textile is reduced, which contributes to hygiene. • Moisture regulation: The activated carbon layer can absorb excess moisture and create a more pleasant skin climate. • Discretion: The freshness effect is achieved without fragrances or chemical additives. • Comfort: The scarf remains comfortable to wear even during physical exertion and offers functional added value beyond its purely warming effect. • Suitability for everyday use: Suitable for everyday life, outdoor adventures, sports, travel or the care sector. Summary:

[0009] The SOFLEX FRESH SCARF is a functional clothing item that uses activated carbon fabric to bind odors, improve skin comfort, and has antibacterial properties. This invention thus offers a practical solution for people who desire a hygienic and fresh feeling in the sensitive neck area, even during physical exertion or prolonged wear.
