Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a system for establishing a connection between a first clothing element and a second clothing element, and to functional clothing comprising such a system.

[0002] Functional clothing is known from the prior art, particularly in the form of motorcycle clothing, in which an upper part, i.e. a jacket, and a lower part, i.e. trousers, are connected to one another via a zipper. Such a zipper serves in particular to ensure that the upper part and the lower part are not shifted relative to one another, for example in the event of a fall, in such a way that parts of the wearer's body are exposed. Furthermore, it is typically provided that the fastening device extends completely or almost completely along the circumference of the interface via which the upper part and the lower part are connected to one another. This disadvantageously deprives the ensemble of the option of incorporating structural measures in these areas which would allow the waistband width, in particular of the lower part, to be adapted to the fit of the respective wearer of the ensemble.Reducing the length of the zipper, however, would entail the risk of creating the possibility, at least in some areas, of the upper part shifting relative to the lower part, particularly during a fall, thus no longer meeting the necessary safety requirements. Furthermore, it is cumbersome to move the zipper closure device along the perimeter of the interface. This is particularly difficult in the back area of ​​the ensemble, as it is not easily accessible for the wearer.

[0003] DE 10 017 016 A1 shows clothing with an upper part and with a lower part and with a connecting device between the upper part and the lower part, according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein the connecting device is designed as a hook and loop connection with a hook and loop hook part and a counterpart made of velour or fleece, wherein the hook and loop hook side is arranged on the upper part and the counterpart on the lower part or vice versa.

[0004] US 2012 / 0117715 A1 shows a sportswear item consisting of a top and a bottom that can be connected by a connecting element that can be engaged with an eyelet. The connecting element is attached to the bottom and extends toward the top. An eyelet is provided on the top, through which the connecting element can be passed to connect the top and bottom. The part of the connecting element that has been passed through the eyelet can be folded over and secured to the bottom by means of a magnet.

[0005] US 2016 / 0198782 A1 discloses a system for connecting at least two elements. The first element is a sleeve and the second element is a glove. The sleeve has a first connecting element. The glove has a second connecting element. The first connecting element has a connector that can be secured to a corresponding part of the second connecting element by means of magnetic force.

[0006] KR 2009 / 007619 A shows a clothing system consisting of a top and a bottom. Furthermore, magnets are provided that can connect the top and bottom.

[0007] Taking the above into account, it is an object of the present invention to provide a system for establishing a connection between a first clothing element and a second clothing element, which is improved over the prior art, in particular meeting both the safety requirements and the requirements with regard to wearing comfort and operability.

[0008] This object is achieved with a system according to claim 1, a first clothing element and / or a second clothing element, and functional clothing according to claim 11. Further embodiments can be found in the description, the figures, and the subclaims.

[0009] According to a first aspect, a system is provided for establishing a connection between a first clothing element and a second clothing element along an interface, wherein in a connected state the first clothing element and the second clothing element provide an ensemble serving as functional clothing, comprising at least one closure device for establishing at least one connection between the first clothing element and the second clothing element, wherein the at least one closure device has at least one primary component and at least one secondary component which are brought into connection with one another by means of magnetic force, such that the first clothing element and the second clothing element are connected to one another.In contrast to the systems known from the prior art for establishing a connection between the first clothing element and the second clothing element, the invention provides that the at least one primary component and the at least one secondary component are connected to one another by means of magnetic force. Therefore, the primary component and the secondary component provide a connection by means of magnetic force, in particular automatically, when the primary component and the secondary component are in proximity to one another. This offers the advantage that a wearer of the ensemble does not have to laboriously handle the fastener in order to establish a connection between the first clothing element and the second clothing element. Preferably, two fastening devices, more preferably four fastening devices, can also be provided.Preferably, sufficient closure devices are provided so that the first clothing element and the second clothing element establish a connection at the interface along the circumference of the interface as extensively as possible, in particular all around, which creates a permanent and load-resistant connection between the first clothing element and the second clothing element. The connection by means of the closure devices can be designed such that the first clothing element, in particular at the interface, is not displaced relative to the second clothing element. The magnetic force is preferably generated by means of a permanent magnet and / or an electromagnet.

[0010] Preferably, the first clothing element is a jacket, and the second clothing element is a pair of trousers, which are connected to one another via the system for establishing the connection. However, it is also conceivable for the first clothing element to represent a partial section of a trouser leg, and the second clothing element to represent another section of a trouser leg. It would also be conceivable, for example, for the first clothing element to be a trouser leg and the second clothing element to be a shoe, or for the first clothing element to be a sleeve and the second clothing element to be a glove.

[0011] Preferably, the second clothing element continues a general course of the first clothing element along a direction of extension, and the first clothing element and the second clothing element define an interface cross-section in a sectional plane running perpendicular to the direction of extension at the level of the interface along an interface circumference. Preferably, the at least one closure device is arranged in the sectional plane on the interface circumference. Preferably, when the first clothing element is connected to the second clothing element, the closure device can project beyond the interface cross-section in the direction of extension. Only one closure device can be provided, which is designed as a strip or profile (see below).Alternatively, several closure devices can be arranged on the interface circumference, whereby these can be evenly distributed along the interface circumference. Alternatively, several closure devices can be unevenly distributed along the interface circumference. In this case, it is particularly preferred that the closure device be designed such that it does not itself present any sources of danger, i.e., it does not have any angular or sharp edges that could endanger the wearer of the ensemble in the event of a fall or other dangerous situation. The direction of extension is determined by the shape of the respective body part, particularly in the situation in which the ensemble is worn by a user.In the case of a first clothing element corresponding to a jacket and a second clothing element corresponding to trousers, the direction of extension essentially corresponds to the longitudinal extension of the torso, while in the case of a first clothing element designed as trousers and a second clothing element designed as a shoe, the direction of extension is predetermined by the longitudinal extension of the leg.

[0012] Preferably, at least two closure devices are provided, which are opposite each other in the cutting plane at the interface circumference. Preferably, the at least two closure devices are opposite each other relative to an axis lying in the cutting plane. The at least two closure devices can be symmetrically opposite each other with respect to the axis. The axis can lie in the frontal plane of a wearer of the assembly. Alternatively, the axis can lie in the sagittal plane of the wearer.

[0013] Preferably, the primary component can be a strip-like structure, and the secondary component can be a strip-like structure corresponding to the primary component, which can be brought into engagement with one another in a form-fitting and / or force-fitting manner. In other words, the closure device represents an elongated element that runs continuously along the interface cross-section. In this case, only one closure device can be provided, which is located at the interface cross-section. To ensure a high level of comfort, the closure device can be elastically deformable, in particular transversely to its direction of extension. The magnetic force can guide the primary component and / or the secondary component so that they are brought into engagement with one another.To do this, it is only necessary to bring the primary component and the secondary component close to each other so that the magnetic force exerted by the primary component and / or the secondary component brings the primary component and / or the secondary component into engagement. In other words, the magnetic force can serve to bring the primary component and the secondary component together in such a way that they engage with each other and thus create a stable connection. Once the primary component and the secondary component are engaged and thus connected, the magnetic force can be dimensioned such that it no longer contributes significantly to the stability of the connection. Nevertheless, the magnetic force can prevent the primary component and the secondary component from simply slipping apart, for example in a release direction.

[0014] Preferably, the at least one fastening device establishes a point-by-point connection between the first clothing element and the second clothing element. Furthermore, the above statements can also apply in connection with the point-by-point connection. Point-by-point can mean that, in comparison to a fastening device from the prior art, the length of the connection in the circumferential direction of the interface is very short in the case of a point-by-point connection. In particular, in the case of a point-by-point connection, the length of the connection in the interface circumference can be 0.5 cm to 10 cm, preferably 0.75 cm to 3 cm, more preferably 0.8 cm to 2 cm. The length of the connection can be referred to as the length of the fastening device along the interface circumference that projects beyond the interface cross-section from the first clothing element to the second clothing element.By arranging a plurality of fastening devices along the circumference of the interface, a plurality of point connections can be created between the first clothing element and the second clothing element, such that both clothing elements are securely connected to one another and, for example, the first clothing element is prevented from folding up in the event of a fall. For example, the fastening device can be a twist lock that is guided into an engaged state by means of magnetic force and can be released or opened again by manual rotation (i.e. by a rotational movement in a release direction). Alternatively, the fastening device can be a so-called slider, which is automatically guided (i.e. by magnetic force) into an engaged state and can be released or opened by sliding sideways (i.e. by a straight-line movement in a release direction).A locking device is also conceivable that, after automatically establishing the engaged state, can be released or opened again by an actuator, such as a button. A variety of concepts for the locking device are conceivable, as long as easy operation is ensured by providing a magnetic force between the primary component and the secondary component, particularly with one hand.

[0015] Preferably, the system further comprises at least one modification device for changing the size of the interface cross-section. For example, the modification device for changing the size of the interface cross-section could conceivably utilize a hook-and-loop mechanism, which, for example, allows the circumference or interface circumference to be reduced or increased by positioning a tab on a correspondingly pronounced hook-and-loop area in order to adjust the interface cross-section accordingly, for example to a waistband width. By adjusting the interface cross-section, it is possible to adapt the ensemble in the area of ​​the interface to the respective fit of the wearer, for example to the torso, the arm section, or the ankle cross-section.Preferably, exactly two adjustment devices are provided for changing the size of the interface cross-section, which are arranged, in particular, symmetrically on opposite sides along the interface circumference to enable uniform adjustment of the interface cross-section or interface circumference, for example, to adjust the waistband width. Preferably, the two adjustment devices are arranged at opposite positions on the interface circumference with respect to a sagittal plane of a wearer.

[0016] When connected, the assembly preferably has a front side and a back side opposite the front side, with at least one closure device being arranged on the back side and at least one closure device being arranged on the front side. For example, two closure devices can be provided on the front side, whereas only one closure device can be provided on the back side, in particular centrally on the back side. Alternatively, two closure devices can be provided on the front side and two closure devices can be provided on the back side. Furthermore, the closure devices can be arranged symmetrically on the interface circumference with respect to a straight line running through a connection region of the front side to the back side.

[0017] Preferably, the at least one adjustment device is arranged in a connecting area between the front and back. This allows, for example, the waistband width to be easily adjusted without compromising the connection between the first clothing element and the second clothing element.

[0018] Preferably, the primary component is arranged on the first clothing element and the secondary component on the second clothing element. In particular, it is provided that the primary component is arranged on an inner side of the first clothing element and / or the secondary component is arranged on an outer side of the second clothing element. This advantageously makes it possible for the at least one fastening device to be covered by the first clothing element in the connected state, in particular because the first clothing element is arranged above the fastening device in the assembled or connected state. This advantageously protects the fastening device from environmental influences and additionally ensures that, for example, in the event of a fall, the fastening device is not accidentally released.

[0019] According to the invention, the at least one fastening device is a system comprising a hook as the primary component and an eyelet as the secondary component, in which the hook is guided into an engaged state with the eyelet assigned to the hook by means of magnetic force, such that the first clothing element and the second clothing element are connected to one another in a form-fitting and / or force-fitting manner. The form-fitting connection can be created by the interlocking of at least two connection partners. One connection partner can be the hook or the primary component, and the other connection partner can be the eyelet or the secondary component. The connection partners cannot separate from one another even without or when the transmission of force is interrupted. Preferably, the hook and the eyelet are aligned and guided towards one another by means of magnetic force such that both enter an engaged state.In particular, no further external actuation is necessary to bring about the engaged state, so that the engaged state is brought about essentially automatically as soon as the primary component is located in the vicinity of the secondary component or vice versa. In contrast, the closure device can be released, for example, by exerting a force on the closure device counter to and / or transverse to the closure device (i.e. counter to and / or transverse to the direction from the first clothing element to the second clothing element). To do this, the wearer of the ensemble can, for example, pull out the first clothing element and let it slide downwards (i.e. move it to a position below the interface). This can also advantageously simplify the release of the connection between the first clothing element and the second clothing element.

[0020] Preferably, the primary component of the closure device is arranged on an inner side of the first clothing element and / or the secondary component of the closure device is arranged on an outer side of the second clothing element.

[0021] According to the invention, a belt device is provided, wherein the belt device is preferably connected to the primary component of the closure device. This advantageously supports the alignment of the belt device when the closure device is connected. For example, the belt device is a suspender-like structure, which is particularly preferably embedded or integrated into the inside of the first clothing element. The belt device is preferably sewn into the inside of the first clothing element. In particular, it is conceivable for the belt device to be part of a primary device comprising the primary component.For example, the belt and / or carrier device forms an end section serving as a loop as the primary device, to which the primary component can be attached and / or integrated, which can be engaged with or connected to a corresponding eyelet as the secondary device. The end section and / or the primary component can have a section that can exert a magnetic force on the secondary component. Alternatively, the end section can have a section that reacts to a magnetic force exerted by the secondary component, in particular, is attracted to it.

[0022] The belt device preferably has at least one additional adjustment device for changing the length of the belt device. This advantageously makes it possible to additionally adjust the height or adapt it, for example, to the upper body length of the wearer of the ensemble. This improves wearing comfort through the individualized adjustment when wearing the ensemble, especially the functional clothing.

[0023] According to a further aspect of the present invention, a first clothing element, in particular a jacket and / or a second clothing element, in particular trousers, is provided with a system according to the invention.

[0024] All advantages and features described for the system apply analogously to the first clothing element and / or to the second clothing element, and vice versa. In particular, it is provided that the first clothing element has at least one corresponding primary component for the at least one closure device, and the second clothing element has at least one secondary component for the closure device. Preferably, the corresponding primary and secondary components are designed to complement one another, ie, in particular, they are arranged at corresponding locations along the interface circumference so that they can interlock when the first and second clothing elements are properly applied.In particular, when the first and second clothing elements are properly applied and thus aligned with one another, the primary component and the secondary component automatically establish the engagement state, so that the first clothing element and the second clothing element are connected to one another without the wearer having to manually establish the connection. For this purpose, the primary component and the secondary component can be arranged on the interface circumference in such a way that, when the first clothing element and the second clothing element are properly applied, the primary component and the secondary component are spatially arranged so close to one another that the magnetic force is sufficient to guide both components into an engagement state. This has the advantage that the wearer only has to apply the first and second clothing elements to connect the two clothing elements.A further aspect of the present invention is functional clothing, in particular motorcycle clothing, with a system according to the invention. All features and advantages described for the system apply analogously to the functional clothing, and vice versa.

[0025] According to a further aspect of the present invention, a method (not claimed) for producing a system according to the invention is provided. All features and advantages described for the system can be applied analogously to the method, and vice versa.

[0026] Further advantages and features will become apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments of the subject matter according to the invention with reference to the accompanying figures. Individual features of the individual embodiments can be combined with one another within the scope of the invention. It shows:

[0027] Figure 1an ensemble with a system for establishing a connection between a first clothing element and a second clothing element according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 a schematic interior view of a jacket according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 a schematic front view, rear view and side view of trousers according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 a view of a locking device of the Figure 1 shown system in open state, Figure 5 schematic representations of various arrangements of closure devices from the prior art, and Figure 6 a schematic representation of a system for establishing a connection between a first clothing element and a second clothing element according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0028] In Figure 1An ensemble is shown with a system 100 for connecting a first clothing element 10 and a second clothing element 20. In the example shown, the Figure 1the first clothing element 10 is a jacket or a top, and the second clothing element 20 is trousers or a bottom. In the assembled or connected state, the first clothing element 10 and the second clothing element 20 form an ensemble 1 serving as functional clothing. For example, the ensemble 1 is an overall that serves as motorcycle clothing. In order to prevent the first clothing element 10 and the second clothing element 20 from being displaced relative to one another, for example in the event of a fall or in a stressful situation, and in particular to prevent parts of the body of the person wearing the ensemble 1 from being exposed, it is provided that the first clothing element 10 and the second clothing element 20 are connected via the system 100 for establishing a connection between the first clothing element 10 and the second clothing element 20.In particular, the system 100 provides a closure device 30, which is provided along an interface 15 of a connection between the first clothing element 10 and the second clothing element 20 and connects the first clothing element 10 and the second clothing element 20 to one another. In the embodiment shown in . Figure 1In the example shown, the first clothing element 10 is connected to the second clothing element 20 via a lower section of the first clothing element 10 and via an upper section of the second clothing element 20, forming a corresponding interface 15. The closure device 30, which connects the first clothing element 10 to the second clothing element 20, is a magnetic closure. In the present embodiment, a total of four magnetic closures are provided along an interface circumference 16, which extends at the level of the interface 15 in a sectional plane SE. In an alternative embodiment not shown, the closure device 30 is a strip-like structure that runs almost completely around the interface circumference.The cutting plane SE runs essentially perpendicular to the direction of extension E, which is determined by the general course that the first clothing element and the second clothing element define in the assembled state through their longitudinal extension. In the exemplary embodiment shown in Figure 1, the direction of extension E is essentially parallel to a longitudinal extension of the torso of the person wearing the ensemble 1. The interface 15 is arranged in particular at hip or waist height. In contrast to the system known from the prior art for establishing the connection between the first clothing element 10 and the second clothing element 20, it is provided that the closure device 30 establishes a point-like connection between the first clothing element 10 and the second clothing element 20.

[0029] In the present embodiment, two fastening devices 30 are formed on a rear side of the ensemble 1 and on a front side of the ensemble 1. The fastening devices 30 on the front and on the back of the ensemble are located opposite one another relative to a straight line that crosses a connecting region of the front and back of the ensemble (i.e., the straight line lies in the frontal plane of the wearer of the ensemble). In a further embodiment not shown, three fastening devices 30 are arranged on the interface circumference 16, with only one fastening device 30 being arranged centrally on the rear side, i.e., in the region of the back of the wearer of the ensemble 1, and two fastening devices 30 being arranged on the front side. In both embodiments, point-like connections between the first clothing element 10 and the second clothing element 20 are produced by the fastening devices 30.This advantageously makes it possible, in particular by dimensioning and positioning it on the back and front of the ensemble 1, to arrange at least one changing device 50 for changing the size of an interface cross-section 17 on the side of the ensemble 1 that connects the back to a front of the ensemble. The interface cross-section 17 is measured in the cutting plane SE, which runs perpendicular to the extension direction E, and is limited by the interface circumference 16 of the ensemble 1 in the cutting plane SE. By changing the interface cross-section 17, it is advantageously possible to adapt the fit of the ensemble 1 to the respective wearer. In particular, this ensures increased wearing comfort, since a corresponding waistband width can be continuously and variably adjusted to the respective wearer.This would not be possible in the case of a circumferential zipper, as is known from the prior art. Furthermore, by providing magnetic closures as the closure devices 30, it is possible to connect the first clothing element 10 and the second clothing element 20 to one another without any further action by the wearer. In other words, a wearer pulls on the first clothing element 10 and the second clothing element 20, whereby the closure devices 30 on the front and back are brought into spatial proximity with one another, so that a primary component 31, which is attached to the first clothing element 10, and a secondary component 32, which is attached to the second clothing element, are attracted to one another by means of magnetic force and thus the primary component 31 and the secondary component 32 are guided into engagement with one another (i.e. into a positive and / or non-positive connection).The primary component 31 and the secondary component 32 together form a closure device 20.

[0030] A modification device 50 of the system 100 for changing the size of the interface cross-section 17 provides a hook-and-loop fastener mechanism with which the length of the interface circumference 16 can be modified. A corresponding tab of the modification device 50 can bridge a portion of the outer circumference of the first clothing element 10, thereby reducing the overall length of the interface circumference 16. As an alternative to such a hook-and-loop fastener mechanism, it is also conceivable to use a cord system, which is guided, for example, through a sleeve with a snap fastener. Alternatively, a belt mechanism is also conceivable, with which the waistband width or the interface cross-section can be adjusted.The lateral arrangement of the adjustment device 50 allows, in particular, that the wearer of the ensemble 1 can operate the adjustment device 50 as easily as possible, preferably with one hand, for example by simply releasing the connection of the hook and loop fastener and readjusting the hook and loop fastener mechanism to suit the desired waist size.

[0031] In Figure 2 The first clothing part is shown schematically in a pattern. Furthermore, a part of the closure devices 30 of the system 100 is shown in the first clothing element 10. It is provided that the first clothing element 10 has the primary component 31. The Figure 2shows the first clothing element 10 in an unconnected state, in which the primary component 31 of the fastening device 30 is spaced from the secondary component 32 of the fastening device 30. The primary component 31 is a hook and the secondary component 32 is an eyelet. In a connected state, the primary component 31 engages with the secondary component 32, thereby creating a positive and / or non-positive connection. The first clothing element 10 projects beyond or covers the interface 15 and thus the fastening devices 30 arranged thereon. This ensures that the fastening devices 30 are protected by the first clothing element 10.

[0032] Furthermore, in Figure 2 a carrier and / or belt device 60 can be seen, which is formed in particular on an inner side of the first clothing element 10. In the Figure 2In the example shown, the support and / or belt device 60 is integrated into the inside of the first clothing element 10, i.e., into the jacket, in a suspender-like manner. For this purpose, the support and / or belt device 60 comprises a longitudinal belt 61, which extends substantially vertically when worn and encircles the shoulders of the wearer. Additionally, a transverse belt 64 is provided, which extends substantially horizontally on the back of the wearer when worn. Furthermore, the transverse belt 64 extends substantially parallel to the cutting plane SE.

[0033] In one embodiment of the invention, the support and / or strap device 60 is sewn to the first garment element 10, with the longitudinal straps 61 hanging freely in the vertical direction below the transverse strap 64. As a result, the primary components 31 located at the ends of the longitudinal straps 61 have sufficient play to engage the complementary secondary components 32 attached to the second garment element 20.

[0034] In Figure 3 The second clothing element 20 is shown in three views. The second clothing element 20 is a pair of trousers 20 and in Figure 3shown in a front view, a rear view and a side view. The second clothing element 20 has the secondary component 32, which in the present embodiment is designed as an eyelet. Furthermore, the eyelet has a base plate which has a magnetic attractive force. The associated primary component 31 is also made of a magnetic material so that it is attracted to the secondary component 32. Because the primary component 31 is moved towards the base plate of the secondary component 32 by the magnetic force (i.e. attractive force), the eyelet and the hook are automatically engaged with one another so that a positive and / or non-positive connection is formed between the primary component 31 and the secondary component 32.

[0035] In Figure 4 the locking device 30 for the system 100 is made of Figure 1shown in the open state. The use of the closure device 30 proves to be particularly advantageous because it enables a connection between the first clothing element 10 and the second clothing element 20 at the front and back of the ensemble 1. Otherwise, in the case of an ensemble 1 designed as motorcycle clothing, there would be a risk in the event of a fall that the first clothing element 10 at the front and back would slip relative to the second clothing element 20, thus exposing a stomach area and / or a back area of ​​the wearer. To prevent this, the closure device 30 is provided at the front and back. In a preferred embodiment, the system 100 has four closure devices 30, two of which are arranged at the front of the ensemble 1 and two at the back. Figure 4It can be seen that the secondary component 32 has an outward-facing eyelet (i.e., pointing away from the body of the wearer of the ensemble). This ensures that the wearer is not injured by the eyelet in the event of a fall.

[0036] Furthermore, in Figure 4 the carrier and / or belt device 60 is shown, which is integrated in the first clothing element 10 in particular as a suspender-like device, wherein this comprises a further changing device 63 with which it is possible to change the length of the belt or the carrier 61 or 64.

[0037] This allows for improved wearing comfort and / or adjustment to the upper body size of the wearer of the ensemble 1. Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the support and / or belt device 60 merges into the primary component 31 of the closure device 30.

[0038] In Figure 5Various arrangements of closure devices along an interface circumference 160 from the prior art are schematically illustrated. In the uppermost illustration, a closure device 300 is provided over more than half the total extent of the interface circumference 160. With such a configuration, it is not possible to provide a device for changing the interface cross-section 160 in a sensible manner. Furthermore, actuation of the closure device by the wearer is cumbersome, since the wearer has to handle the back, in particular, move a zipper along the interface circumference 160. In the middle illustration, two closure devices 300 are provided, which extend essentially over the side regions of the interface circumference 160.In such a form, there would only be space for at least one means for changing the interface cross-section 160 in the respective central region of the front and / or back of the ensemble. It has been found that such an arrangement is difficult to handle and only allows the adjustment of a waistband width or an interface cross-section with difficulty. Furthermore, this also has the disadvantage that the wearer has to handle their back to complete the ensemble and / or to adjust a waistband width of the ensemble. In the bottom illustration, a closure device 300 extends only over a partial region of the back of the interface circumference 160. With this form, it cannot be guaranteed that, in the event of a fall, for example, displacement of the first clothing element and the second clothing element is prevented, at least at the front.

[0039] In Figure 6An embodiment of the present invention is shown schematically. In particular, Figure 6the system 100 for establishing a connection between the first clothing element 10 and the second clothing element 20 in the interface plane SE. In particular, it is provided here that four fastening devices 30, two of which are provided on the front and two on the back of the ensemble, are arranged in the region of the interface plane SE. In the embodiment, a changing device 50 for changing a size of the interface cross-section 17 is additionally provided in the connection region between the front and the back of the ensemble. The fastening devices 30 and the changing devices 50 are preferably arranged substantially at the same height as the ensemble 1, in particular when the ensemble 1 is worn.In particular, it is provided that the changing device 50 is designed such that, in order to reduce the interface cross-section 17, at least a partial area of ​​the interface circumference 16 is pushed or folded into an inner area which is formed by the forming ensemble 1 comprising the first clothing element 10 and the second clothing element 20.
