摘要:
A garment such as a sports shirt has concealed ventilation channels; which provide a continuous air channel between permanent openings. In one embodiment, the channels are flexible and non-intrusive and the openings are maintained by springy eyelets The eyelets and channels are attached to the main fabric of the garment providing a robust and a streamlined construction. Another embodiment incorporates active ventilation structures within the channels the structures having a natural vibration frequency matched to a motion frequency spectrum of the wearer. In a further embodiment, the ventilation channels are made of shape memory polymer and change shape in response to changes in temperature.

Ein flächiges Textilmaterial (10) hat eine Ober- und eine Unterseite und dient insbesondere zur Verwendung als Bekleidungsstoff. Zur Steuerung der Durchlässigkeit des Textilmaterials (10) sind Steuerelemente (34, 36; 16, 18) vorgesehen, die durch einen Umweltparameter verformbar sind. Medien, deren Durchlässigkeit so gesteuert wird, sind z.B. Fluids oder Licht. Als Umweltparameter kommen z.B. die Temperatur oder die Luftfeuchtigkeit in Frage. Dadurch sind z.B. Textilmaterialien realisierbar, deren Atmungsaktivität mit der Körpertemperatur des Benutzers steigt.

Articles and methods of using and making adaptive garment portions are provided. An adaptive garment portion is one that has shifting surfaces with apertures that shift from an aligned to an offset orientation depending on environmental conditions/stimuli. For example, a first surface material and a second surface material may be coupled by a responsive material portion. The responsive material portion may physically change in response to a change in environmental conditions internal or external to the garment (e.g., thermal energy, moisture) and/or stimuli (e.g., light energy, electrical energy, magnetic fields). The physical change in the responsive material portion facilitates the planar shift of the first surface material relative to the second surface material.

The invention relates to an item of functional clothing (10) having at least one actuable device (3) for ventilation purposes and/or for changing the visual appearance, wherein the device (3) comprises - a first layer (1), - a second layer (2), which is arranged behind the first layer (1) and can be displaced along a displacement direction (4) relative to the first layer (1), and - an actuating mechanism (5) for displacing the second layer (2) relative to the first layer (1) from a first relative position into at least one further relative position. In order for it to be possible for the device to be actuated in a straightforward and reliable manner, the first layer (1) and the second layer (2) each have a plurality of holes (11, 12), which form an arrangement of holes, wherein, in the first relative position, the intermediate regions extending between the holes (11, 12) in the layers (1, 2) conceal holes (12, 11) in the respectively other layer (2, 1), and wherein, in the at least one further relative position, holes (11, 12) in the layers (1, 2) at least partially overlap with holes (12, 11) in the respectively other layer (2, 1).

A garment sleeve having a proximal shoulder end coupled to an armscye of the garment, and a distal, cuff end, terminating at a cuff, the garment sleeve including: (a) a seam running from the armscye to the cuff,, the seam being joined at least at the shoulder end and at the cuff end; (b) a non-separating zipper including;- (i) teeth, and (ii) at least one slider adapted to reversibly couple the teeth, at. least partially, between the shoulder end and the cuff end; the non -separating zipper operationally coupled proximate to the shoulder end of the seam and proximate to the cuff end of the seam.
摘要:
Aspects of the present invention relate to systems and methods of integrating dynamic materials into articles for adjustable physical characteristics (e.g., aesthetic, functional). For example, in response to a human's body heat, a dynamic material may change shape to allow additional permeability in an article of clothing. Similarly, in response to the presence of moisture, an article of clothing may close a vent to prevent the introduction of rain into an internal portion of the article. The shape changing material may change shape that merely affects a feature formed by the shape changing material. Additionally, it is contemplated that the shape changing material may change shape that affects a geometric structure of the article as a whole (e.g., protrusions, dimples, vents, etc.).
