Hood with sliding, movable hood section to improve the field of vision.

Abstract

(Main claim) Hood for a garment, in particular for a jacket or coat, with a fixed support element that can be connected to the garment, and with a movable element that forms at least part of the hood, wherein the movable element is arranged to be slidably movable relative to the support element, so that when the wearer's head is moved laterally, a relative movement between the support element and the movable element is allowed, and the hood adapts at least partially to the head movement. This results in an improved field of vision for the wearer without significantly impairing the comfort of the hood.

Description

Basic idea of ​​the invention

[0001] The basic idea of ​​the invention is to not rigidly connect the hood to the outer garment, but to allow relative movement between a hood-side area and the outer garment.

[0002] The hood features a fixed support element that is attached to the outer garment, as well as a movable element relative to the support element, which forms at least part of the hood. The movable element is designed to slide relative to the support element, allowing lateral head movements of the wearer to be at least partially transferred to the hood.

[0003] This sliding relative movement decouples the wearer's head movement from the outer garment, allowing the hood to move with lateral head movements without restricting the wearer's freedom of movement or comfort. This improves the wearer's field of vision while maintaining the hood's protective function. Preferred embodiments

[0004] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the movable element is designed as a substantially continuous element that is arranged to slide movably relative to the fixed support element. This design allows the hood to be displaced uniformly relative to the outer garment during lateral head movements of the wearer, so that the hood-side area adapts at least partially to the head movement.

[0005] In another preferred embodiment, the movable element is formed from several sub-segments which together enable a sliding relative movement with respect to the support element. The sub-segments are arranged in such a way that they interact and allow the hood to adapt to lateral head movements of the wearer.

[0006] Both designs decouple the movement of the wearer's head from the outer garment, allowing the hood to move with head movements without impairing comfort or the protective function of the hood.

[0007] The embodiments shown are to be considered exemplary. Further embodiments, in particular with regard to the number, shape or arrangement of the moving elements, are possible without deviating from the basic idea of ​​the invention. a) Hood b) firmly sewn guide rail c) Stand-up collar d) Detachable collar with movable connecting elements e) Magnetic tape, zipper or Velcro for attaching to the jacket

Claims

[1] (Main claim) Hood for a garment, in particular for a jacket or coat, with a fixed support element that can be connected to the garment, and with a movable element that forms at least part of the hood, wherein the movable element is arranged to be slidably movable relative to the support element, so that when the wearer's head is moved laterally, a relative movement between the support element and the movable element is allowed, and the hood adapts at least partially to the head movement. This results in an improved field of vision for the wearer without significantly impairing the comfort of the hood. [2] Hood according to claim 1, characterized by , that the movable element is designed as an essentially continuous element. [3] Hood according to claim 1, characterized bythat the movable element is formed from several sub-segments which together enable a sliding relative movement with respect to the supporting element. [4] Hood according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that the sliding relative movement causes a decoupling between the head movement of the wearer and the movement of the garment. [5] Hood according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the sliding relative movement is directed towards lateral head movements to the left and right. [6] Hood according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that the supporting element and the movable element are designed in such a way, that the protective function of the hood against weather conditions is maintained. [7] (Jacket + Hood) Hood according to any of the preceding claims, characterized bythat it is part of a garment or is permanently attached to a garment.
