Description

[0001] The invention relates to trousers and a method for manufacturing trousers. Such trousers are known from WO 2022 / 012906 A1, which discloses the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] As already explained, trousers, like shorts, jeans, and the like, are hip-hugging garments used in everyday life to cover the lower body and, if necessary, the legs down to the feet. They rest on the hips or waist of the wearer at the waistband. The waistband is usually designed for a specific hip width (which in turn corresponds to a specific clothing size). A longitudinally elastic waistband section has proven particularly advantageous, as it ensures a comfortable fit and adjusts the waistband to a certain extent to temporary variations in hip circumference. A non-elastic, lockable strap, integrated into the waistband as a fixed component of the trousers, at least on one side of the back, ensures that the trousers stay in place even during, for example,under special external circumstances, wetness or perspiration and / or in special, particularly tactical, use, for example by the fire brigade, THW, police, military and the like, where such clothing often also serves to carry several items or loads due to operational requirements, e.g. in trouser pockets or additional holsters (i.e. additional weight), it remains securely on the wearer's hip.

[0003] In practice, however, it has become clear that wearers also like to wear such particularly comfortable trousers in everyday life, for example between deployments or during leisure time. Since the design focus so far has not been on creating an all-round trouser for every situation, the existing construction still has certain disadvantages, namely a lack of flexibility and a slight reduction in comfort if the wearer decides to wear an additional hip belt or belt over the waist belt.

[0004] It is therefore an object of the present invention to further improve the trousers mentioned at the outset and in particular to make them more flexible.

[0005] This problem is solved by trousers according to claim 1 and a method for manufacturing the trousers according to claim 10.

[0006] The trousers according to the invention, like the trousers mentioned at the outset, comprise a waistband system with a circumferential waistband and a non-elastic, lockable strap, which is integrated into the waistband as a non-elastic section at least on one side of the back of the trousers. The waistband has at least one section that is monoelastic, at least in the longitudinal direction, and which can be bridged by means of the strap running parallel to it.

[0007] According to the invention, the belt comprises two belt sections that can be decoupled from the trousers at a coupling point assigned to each belt section. The belt sections can be attached to and detached from the inelastic waistband section of the trousers, which forms part of the belt, at these coupling points. Detachable and attachable means that the belt sections can be removed from and reattached to the trousers.

[0008] Preferably, coupling can take place in a pulling direction, in particular in an insertion direction, which will be explained further below, and decoupling in an opposite pulling direction.

[0009] A method according to the invention for manufacturing trousers with a waistband system according to the invention comprises at least the following steps: As in the method mentioned at the outset, the outer fabric pattern pieces, lining, and interlinings of trousers are first cut from the corresponding fabrics or provided pre-cut, as is usual for trousers. Then the waistband system of the trousers is provided with a circumferential waistband and a non-elastic, lockable strap.

[0010] In this process, at least one longitudinally monoelastic waistband section is incorporated into the waistband, preferably under pretension (as explained below), which is bridged by a parallel strap. The closable strap is integrated or sewn into the waistband as a non-elastic section, at least on one side of the back of the trousers.

[0011] According to the invention, the belt comprises two belt parts that can be decoupled or removed from the trousers (at a coupling point assigned to the respective belt part), which belt parts are coupled to the inelastic waistband section at the back of the trousers, so that the at least one waistband section that is at least monoelastic in the longitudinal direction is bridged by means of the belt parts of the belt which run parallel to it in the coupled state.

[0012] A belt according to the invention for such trousers comprises at least two belt parts, each of which has a coupling means at one end with which they can be attached to and detached from the trousers at a coupling point of the trousers assigned to the respective belt part.

[0013] The inventive design therefore provides a true all-round trouser that can be worn both in everyday life or leisure time at home as well as in the office or during special operations, e.g. by the fire brigade, THW, police, military and the like, since it can be converted very easily and quickly to suit these purposes.

[0014] Further, particularly advantageous embodiments and developments of the invention result from the dependent claims and the following description, wherein the independent claims of a claim category may also be further developed analogously to the dependent claims and embodiments of another claim category, and in particular individual features of different embodiments or variants may be combined to form new embodiments or variants.

[0015] Preferably, the inelastic waistband section and the strap parts can comprise interlocking coupling means.

[0016] Preferably, at least one coupling element can be plate-shaped, i.e., flat or planar. This means that one side length is significantly smaller than the other two.

[0017] Preferably, the plate-shaped coupling means can have a side length or thickness of at most 3 mm, particularly preferably at most 2 mm, more preferably at most 1.5 mm, and most preferably at most 1 mm, in a direction perpendicular to its plate-shaped extension, i.e., along the side just mentioned.

[0018] Preferably, the belt sections each comprise a barbed, preferably mushroom-shaped, coupling element, and the inelastic waistband section comprises two slot-shaped coupling elements. This means that the inelastic waistband section, for example, has one slot-shaped coupling element at each end, for a total of two.

[0019] A flat or plate-shaped coupling element with a mushroom-shaped contour is particularly preferred, i.e., with a mushroom-shaped outline or base. In other words, a flat or plate-shaped coupling element with a largely "T"-shaped or "arrow"-shaped profile. The "mushroom shape" itself is therefore not absolutely essential, but it does facilitate insertion somewhat.

[0020] Preferably, the inelastic waistband section can include an insertion slot into which the coupling means of the belt sections can be inserted or threaded for coupling in one insertion direction. In the simplest case, the insertion slot can be formed by a suitably modified belt or strap loop with a narrow loop opening adapted to the dimensions of the respective coupling means.

[0021] As one variant, the insertion slot of the inelastic waistband section can be designed in such a way that the coupling means of the belt parts can each be threaded in for coupling from an inside of the trousers and led to an outside of the trousers, i.e. from inside to outside.

[0022] In an inserted or threaded state, the belt sections can preferably hook or remain engaged at a stop point with a stop edge in the insertion direction. In this position, they are then secured against further threading and generally remain there due to a certain amount of material friction or slight resistance of the belt section stitched onto the coupling element, even without constant tension.

[0023] Preferably, the coupling means of the belt parts (especially in T-shaped or mushroom-shaped designs with the T-crossbar) can hook onto or stop at a (later explained) stop seam of the insertion slot.

[0024] The slot opening of the insertion slot can preferably be adapted to the coupling means or selected in its internal dimensions so that the coupling means can be easily inserted or inserted, but does not slip out again on its own.

[0025] In principle, the insertion slot could also be designed as an insertion pocket, i.e., open on one side. This means that the strap sections, with their respective coupling elements, are inserted into the insertion pocket from one direction, hooked into place, and then, to complete the connection to the trousers, pulled back slightly in the opposite direction from which they were inserted, so that their barbed outer shape (e.g., the T-shaped crossbar) then engages with the stop seam. For a secure hold on the one hand and user-friendly coupling and uncoupling on the other, the coupling elements can, for example, be designed to be elastically bendable or foldable perpendicular to the insertion direction (or to the flat side of the plate-shaped element), so that they are slightly compressed or folded for coupling and uncoupling.-can be folded and, after being compressed, elastically bend back into their original shape.

[0026] Preferably, the coupling means of the belt parts can comprise a flexible plastic material, preferably an elastomer.

[0027] Preferably, the inelastic waistband section of the trousers, when worn as intended, can substantially, i.e., largely, cover the wearer's sacrum. "Substantially or largely" here means that the sacrum of the vast majority of wearers of such trousers is covered to a predominant extent.

[0028] Alternatively or additionally, the insertion slots at the fastening points on the back of the trousers can be spaced apart. They are particularly preferably positioned symmetrically to a crotch line or symmetry line of the trousers (which runs upwards from the back crotch seam to the waistband).

[0029] They can be particularly preferably positioned off-center along the waistband direction on the back of the trousers.

[0030] Preferably, the insertion slots can be arranged on the waistband to the side of the sacrum of a wearer when the trousers are worn as intended.

[0031] For example, the insertion slots can also form a passage from the inside of the trousers to the outside of the trousers, through which the coupling means can be threaded from the inside of the trousers through the waistband into the appropriate position on the outside of the trousers.

[0032] Preferably, the insertion slot can have at least one stop seam which is incorporated into the insertion slot perpendicular to the insertion direction as a narrowing of the slot opening and forms a narrowed, i.e. laterally limited, insertion tunnel with the rest of the insertion slot.

[0033] Preferably, the insertion slot can have two such stop seams which together define an insertion tunnel, i.e., a slot opening, between themselves (above and below).

[0034] Preferably, a maximum transverse dimension (transverse to the longitudinal direction of the belt parts) of the coupling means of the belt parts perpendicular to the insertion direction can be at least 0.5 mm narrower than the insertion slot itself, more precisely than the slot opening or the insertion tunnel of the insertion slot.

[0035] Particularly preferably, the maximum transverse dimension of the coupling means of the belt parts perpendicular to the insertion direction may be at most 1.5 mm narrower than the insertion tunnel of the insertion slot.

[0036] As mentioned, the trousers include a waistband system with a circumferential waistband and a non-elastic, lockable strap, which is integrated into the waistband as a non-elastic waistband section at least on one back of the trousers.

[0037] Preferably, the strap can include fastening means for closing, such as hook-and-loop fasteners, snap fasteners, or the like. These can be arranged so that the strap can be fastened to itself, e.g., by folding it back or over.

[0038] Alternatively, the two strap parts can be connected using a buckle or other connecting elements that can be opened and closed.

[0039] The waistband has at least one section that is monoelastic at least in the longitudinal direction and can be bridged by means of the parallel strap.

[0040] Such a construction or manufacturing process for trousers, in which, as described above, a waistband system is provided with a circumferential waistband and a non-elastic, lockable strap, which is integrated into the waistband as a non-elastic section at least on the back of the trousers, and in which the waistband has at least one section that is mono-elastic at least in the longitudinal direction and which can be bridged by means of the strap running parallel to it, can in principle be advantageous for all trousers with a waistband and a strap, regardless of how exactly the strap itself is divided and / or how the strap can be coupled to the non-elastic section of the waistband integrated into the trousers.

[0041] Preferably, at least one stiffening strip, preferably extending substantially in the longitudinal direction of the belt or belt sections, is incorporated or integrated into the belt, particularly preferably into two belt sections. The stiffening strip helps to thread the coupling elements of the belt sections into the respective insertion slots, as it stiffens the belt.

[0042] Preferably, the strap or strap sections can be designed with pockets in which the stiffening strips are received, e.g., sewn in. The pockets can preferably be longitudinally oriented so that the stiffening strips can provide longitudinal stiffening of the strap sections.

[0043] There are further preferred options for the design, particularly the shape and spatial extent, of the stiffening strip. For example, it can fill part or even almost the entire width of the strap. Furthermore, it can extend far enough forward, i.e., into the front waistband area, that various accessories, such as holsters for items like gloves, tools, weapons, handcuffs, etc., can be suspended or attached to the strap along its length. Alternatively, several stiffening strips can be incorporated into the strap sections, each filling only a portion of the strap width. For example, two stiffening strips, each occupying half the strap width and butted parallel to each other, can be incorporated into the longitudinal compartments or pockets to facilitate the insertion of items.To allow the desired coupling element of the strap sections to be inserted into the slot. For improved wearing comfort, the strap sections can alternatively or additionally be padded or reinforced with a light 3D knitted fabric in the area of ​​the stiffening strips.

[0044] There are various options for selecting a suitable material for the coupling means of the belt parts for coupling to the belt.

[0045] As mentioned, the coupling elements of the belt components can be made of flexible plastics, preferably elastomers. Elastomers are organic polymers with rubber-like elastic properties at room temperature. They can be cut, stamped, or cast from the plastic. With the cast version, it is important to ensure that the material used is also flexible.

[0046] However, the coupling agent can also simply be punched or cut from a suitably thick plastic or synthetic film and either used raw or covered with textile material.

[0047] Preferably, a loop can be sewn onto the waistband next to a back pad (which, for example, can be sewn into the waistband as in WO 2022 / 012906 A1), into which the strap parts are inserted from the back pad towards the front of the trousers.

[0048] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying figures and exemplary embodiments. The same components are designated with identical reference numerals in the various figures. The figures are generally not to scale. They show: Figure 1 shows a perspective front view of an embodiment of trousers according to the invention (upper part shown) with a waistband system according to the invention, with a threaded, partially attached, two-part belt; Figure 2 shows a perspective rear view of the upper part of the trousers. Figure 1 Figure 3 shows a perspective rear view of the two parts of the strap. Figure 1 , in a state separated from the trousers, Figure 4 a schematic top view of a horizontal section through the trousers made of Figure 1 , at the level of the waistband, Figure 5 shows another schematic top view of a horizontal section through trousers according to Figure 1 , this time, however, in a reinforced version, Figure 6, a perspective rear view of a section of the back of the trousers according to Figure 2, when threading one of the strap parts into a slot on the waistband, Figure 7 shows a perspective view of a section of the strap parts to illustrate an alternative method of attaching the strap parts together, here using a buckle.

[0049] Figure 1 Figure 1 shows the trousers H according to the invention with a waistband system 1 in a slightly perspective front view of a front face VS of an upper part of the trousers H. In this front view, the trousers 1 do not differ from a predecessor of the trousers 1 from WO 2022 / 012906 A1.

[0050] Figure 2 shows the same trousers H in a rear view of the back RS of the upper part of trousers H.

[0051] Therefore, at this point, reference is made to WO 2022 / 012906 A1, in particular to the embodiment described therein, regarding the basic construction of trousers H. To clarify the differences and related improvements compared to that already known embodiment, the already known basic construction will first be outlined again below, with a greater emphasis on the improvements and innovations. Basically, the new trousers H can be considered identical except for the additional improvements, which are described in the Figures 3 to 5 The trousers described therein will be explicitly explained and will be constructed very similarly to, or even almost identically to, the trousers described therein. As already stated in WO 2022 / 012906 A1, the lower part of the trousers H below the knees, in a distal direction VR or vertical direction VR, plays no significant role in the inventive waistband system 1 and is therefore not shown in any of the figures.

[0052] As in the slightly perspective front view of a front VS of an upper part of the trousers H according to Figure 1 and in the perspective rear view of a back RS of the trousers H according to Figure 2As can be seen, the waistband system 1 of trousers H according to the invention comprises, in addition to a circumferential waistband 10, a slightly curved or ergonomically shaped, lockable strap 140, which runs parallel to the outside of the waistband 10 at least in sections and with which the waistband 10 can be fastened, adjusted, or tightened like a belt. Furthermore, the waistband system 1 includes a back pad 60 on the inside of the waistband 10 on the back RS of the trousers H. This was already described in WO 2022 / 012906 A1 and again contributes to the exceptional comfort of the trousers H. It should be noted that in the perspective views, all visible seams N, e.g., belt loop seams N, pocket seams N, back pad seams N, etc., are generally shown with dashed lines.

[0053] The said waistband 10 is subdivided into several waistband sections 11a, 11b, 15, 20l, 20r along its waistband direction HR, i.e. a horizontal longitudinal direction of the waistband 10, which is particularly well illustrated by the schematic top view of the horizontal section through the waistband system 1 according to Figure 4 as is evident.

[0054] On the in Figure 2On the back side RS of the trousers H, an inelastic waistband section 11a, 11b begins, which is additionally widened in an arc shape and also runs around the inner back pad 60 at the bottom. This section partially unites the waistband 10 and the strap 40 (on the back side RS of the trousers H) into one part. This waistband section 11a, 11b runs from the back side RS to the sides of the trousers H, being widest slightly off-center (along the upper edge of the waistband 10 perpendicular to the waistband direction HR at the beginning and end of a V-shaped section 60v of the back pad 60) on the back side RS of the trousers H. The aforementioned strap 140 is therefore part of the waistband 10 there (on the back side RS of the trousers H), i.e., integrated into the waistband 10.

[0055] Elastic waistband sections 15 adjoin the inelastic waistband sections 11a, 11b. These are in turn connected at their ends by two further inelastic waistband end sections 20l, 20r, which (at their front ends) can be detachably coupled to each other on the front of the trousers H, as shown in particular in Figure 1 can be seen.

[0056] To close the entire circumferential waistband 10 or these non-elastic waistband end sections 20l, 20r, interlocking fastening means 22 are included. The fastening means 22 are simply designed here as interlocking hook-and-loop fasteners. However, other fastening means 22 are also conceivable, such as buttons, hooks and eyes, etc.

[0057] In contrast to the embodiment of the belt from WO 2022 / 012906 A1, the belt 140 of the trousers H according to the invention comprises two separate belt parts 141a, 141b, which here form main belt sections that can be flexibly coupled to the rear waistband section 11a, 11b. In the intended state when attached to the trousers H, the said belt parts 141a, 141b are coupled to the inelastic waistband section 11a, 11b of the trousers H and thus to the part of the belt 140 integrated into the waistband 10, so that when worn in the attached state or coupled to the trousers H, the belt 140 can be secured, adjusted, or tightened around the waistband 10 in the manner of a "belt".The two strap parts 141a, 141b then extend from the inelastic waistband section 11a, 11b integrated into the back of the waistband 10, parallel to the already mentioned inner elastic waistband sections 15, into a front area of ​​the trousers H and run around it at the front.

[0058] The strap sections 141a and 141b of the strap 140 each comprise a strap end section 42, which forms an end termination that can be fixed against itself or against a central section 50. The strap end sections 42 are each located centrally on the front (VS) of the trousers (H) and are guided through a central section 50 and back outwards, as shown in the Figure 1 , 4 and 5 can be seen.

[0059] Overall, this ensures a perfect fit of the trousers H at the wearer's hips, especially during special operations with particular loads on the waistband and / or in special temperatures and / or special external conditions.

[0060] As shown by the Figures 3 , 4 and 6As can be seen, the belt parts 141a, 141b can be attached to and detached from the waistband system 1 without tools. For this purpose, the belt parts 141a, 141b comprise coupling elements 150, each designed here as a flat or plate-shaped, almost flat, barb-shaped injection-molded plastic part. To prevent the coupling element 150 from being uncomfortably bulky, i.e., to avoid creating a local thickening along the waistband direction HR that could quickly lead to pressure points on the hip of the wearer of the trousers H, it is very flat. This means that the plate-shaped coupling element 150 is preferably no more than 3 mm thick, more preferably no more than 2 mm thick, more preferably no more than 1.5 mm thick, and most preferably no more than 1 mm thick.

[0061] Correspondingly, the waistband 10 has, at the outer lateral end of the inelastic waistband section 11a, 11b, symmetrically to an imaginary mean crotch line or symmetry line of the trousers 1 (which, as mentioned, extends upwards from the back crotch seam to the waistband), slot-shaped coupling means 110, which here are designed as insertion slots 110 with an insertion tunnel 111, as is particularly well shown in Figure 6As can be seen, to couple the belt sections 141a, 141b to the inelastic waistband section 11a, 11b, they are inserted in an insertion direction ER (with their belt end sections 42 first) from the center of the waistband 10 on the back RS of the trousers H, i.e., from the direction of the back pad 60, laterally along the waistband direction VR through the insertion tunnels 111 of the insertion slots 110 and then pulled out of the insertion tunnel 111 and forwards laterally around the waistband 10, more precisely around the elastic waistband sections 15 of the waistband 10 on the front VS of the trousers H, until a stop edge 151 of the coupling means 150 abuts at a respective stop point P within the insertion slots 110 (see Figure 6It should be noted at this point that the insertion slots can also be designed with an insertion tunnel, for example, so that the coupling means of the belt parts can be threaded from the inside of the trousers through the insertion tunnel in the waistband to the outside of the trousers, where the belt parts then stop again in the same position at a respective stop point within the insertion slots.

[0062] On the front (VS) of trousers H, the strap sections 141a and 141b can be joined to form a closed strap 140, bridging the elastic waistband 10 of the waistband system 1 on the outside and tightening it with their inelastic fabric. For this purpose, as mentioned, the two strap end sections 42 of the strap sections 141a and 141b are guided through two loops of a central section 50 centrally in front of the inner fly of the waistband 10 of trousers H and then secured to themselves against the outside or to the side. As already described in WO 2022 / 012906 A1, the strap end sections 42 can have corresponding interlocking or interacting hook-and-loop fasteners in certain sections, so that the strap end sections 42 adhere to themselves in certain sections.

[0063] At the two previously mentioned stop points P, the insertion tunnels 111 of the insertion slots 110 are separated by two stop seams 112 in Figure 4 and Figure 6(shown as dashed lines) narrowed from above and below. The distance between them is at least slightly less than a transverse dimension 150q of the coupling means 150 of the belt parts 141a, 141b, so that the stop edges 151 of the barbed coupling means 150 abut or catch on them and cannot be pulled further forward through the insertion tunnel 111. This intended wearing position of the belt parts 141a, 141b in the waistband system 1 of the trousers H is shown in Figure 4 shown.

[0064] In Figure 5A modified version of the strap sections 141a and 141b is shown, in which the strap sections 141a and 141b are provided with inner pockets 144 into which flexible stiffening strips 145 running lengthwise along the strap sections 141a and 141b are inserted and sewn. The stiffening strips 145 can completely fill the strap 140 or the strap sections 141a and 141b. Furthermore, they can extend into the front area of ​​the trousers H to allow various implements or additional equipment to be attached or holstered almost along the entire length of the strap sections 141a and 141b. This reinforced version also allows more weight to be attached to the strap sections 141a and 141b without them twisting or rolling up. For example, the weight, in the form of objects such as a weapon, possibly with a weapon holder, gloves, helmet, etc., can be attached directly or indirectly, e.g., by means of a holster or the like, to the strap parts 141a, 141b.to be attached.

[0065] As also in Figure 5 As can be seen, a flexible stiffening strip 160 may also be incorporated or integrated into the middle section 50 on the front VS of the trousers H, e.g. again in a pocket provided for this purpose.

[0066] To improve wearing comfort, a knitted fabric can be incorporated as a soft, somewhat flexible intermediate layer on the inside or waistband side of the stiffening strips 145, 160. Specifically, for example, a layer of 3D knitted fabric 146 (see in particular) can be incorporated into the pockets 144 on the inside of the pocket, i.e., on the side of the stiffening strips 145 facing the body. Figure 5 ) be integrated or incorporated.

[0067] In Figure 7An alternative variant is shown, in which the strap 140 is attached to the front of the trousers H (VS) using, for example, a simple buckle 170 instead of a central part 50. For this purpose, the strap end sections 42 are indirectly coupled to each other by passing them through a loop or opening of the buckle 170 and folding and securing them in the area of ​​the hook-and-loop fasteners. This allows the two strap parts 141a and 141b of the strap 140, and thus the waistband 10, to be tightened. The buckle 170 shown here is only an example of one possible buckle shape. Of course, other buckle shapes are also conceivable, such as a quick-release buckle, buckles with magnetic closures, plastic buckles, and others.

[0068] Compared to the prior art, the design according to the invention offers the wearer of the trousers several advantages: Firstly, the wearer can decide at any time whether to wear the strap according to the invention with the two strap parts and different buckle versions, or whether to replace it, for example, with a simple belt, a duty belt, or even a conventional underbelt. Secondly, the design according to the invention reduces the number of material layers required for the connection between the waistband and the strap on the non-elastic section of the waistband. This reduces a potential cause of pressure points that can occur when wearing additional equipment and securing it around the waist or hips.

[0069] Finally, it should be noted once again that the devices described in detail above are merely exemplary embodiments which can be modified in various ways by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, the invention is not limited to a specific type of trousers, such as long trousers, shorts, trouser suits, etc., or to a single purpose, but can be used with any type of trousers, even overalls with an integrated waistband and belt, and for any occasion. In particular, it is especially advantageous for emergency services personnel, such as police, military, special forces, etc., who require such tactical clothing for special field operations, routine field operations, and even for everyday office work in the control center, as its flexibility can be fully utilized there.Furthermore, the use of the indefinite articles "ein" and "eine" does not preclude the possibility that the relevant features may be present multiple times. Likewise, the terms "element" and "arrangement" do not preclude the possibility that the component in question consists of several interacting subcomponents, which may also be spatially distributed.
