Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cycling pants or a racing dress for women and men according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Cycling pants are widely used by cyclists, especially of road and train drivers who are used to theirs Expose body and material to the highest demands.
  • the parts of the body that come into direct contact with the saddle extreme local stresses that lead to serious injuries of the affected parts of the body can lead, if no suitable measures to protect them, especially for the more sensitive Parts of the genital organs.
  • Cycling pants that correspond to the state of the art and in the generic term of claim 1 are known, and are in the Practice applied for many years. Cyclist pants of this type exist usually from a tight-fitting garment that is made of textile fabric or knitwear that is elastic in all directions. A Pants or a dress of this type adapts to the driver's body shape or the driver perfectly and offers the advantage of maximum freedom of movement ensure. Similar pants are also used in other sports used that require great freedom of movement.
  • the well-known cycling pants however, have a natural or synthetic leather, the arrangement of which corresponds to the body zones of the cyclist, that are supported on the saddle of the bike.
  • Such a deposit in the pants usually consists of a wider rear part, the corresponds to the seat of the body, and from a narrower front Part that protects the driver's more sensitive genital area or the Rider serves, which is unprotected due to the friction between the saddle and Body when pedaling, or because it is in bad weather Effects of the weather, e.g. Water that is exposed to permanent damage could suffer.
  • the back of the insert is usually through one Intermediate zone connected to the front part, in which the pedaling motion legs in vertical planes next to the driver's torso.
  • the deposits known from practice belong to two different types on: Those of the first kind consist of two separate parts, which in the Middle are joined by means of a seam.
  • the two halves are in tailored in such a way that they take on an "envelope shape" when they be joined together with the central seam, i.e. a three-dimensional Shape that adapts to the body of the cyclist.
  • the two half-deposits are trained in such a way that they sew together bulge in the middle and form a kind of cup that is adapted to the saddle of the body.
  • the disadvantage of this known Embodiment of the insert is that the connecting seam that the two halves of the insert united, exactly in the plane of symmetry of the cyclist, i.e. exactly between his legs what the wearer the trousers considerably and finally, at worst, injuries can add to sensitive body tissue.
  • the second known type of inserts in cycling pants consists of one single part without central seam that thermally deforms into a suitable profile thanks to which it fits the body of the person sitting on the saddle Cyclist can adjust.
  • a deposit of this kind is already before Sewing into the garment is three-dimensional and has none Seam in the symmetry plane of the cyclist.
  • This deposit removed hence the disadvantages of the known inserts made of two sewn together Parts exist because there is no seam left that the cyclist could disturb.
  • this insert shows two basic ones Disadvantages associated with the manufacture of clothing on the one hand and on the other hand that pants that contain such insoles not to offer the wearer the desired level of security and stability capital.
  • a pair of cycling pants for men and women the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known from US-A-5 271 101.
  • the aim of the present invention is therefore the mentioned disadvantages of the known Eliminate cycling pants and a new type of cycling pants or race dress to create the advantages of perfect wearing comfort with those an absolute security that allows the driver to become familiar with to feel one with the bike.
  • the new pants will be easier to manufacture be and therefore become less expensive than those which according to the State of the art are known because they are better defined working conditions for the seamstress without the uncertainties already described.
  • cycling pants according to the The preamble of claim 1, which is in the characterizing part of the claim 1 is marked.
  • the main advantage is that in the most sensitive area it body of the cyclist on which he puts his weight on the bicycle saddle supports, there are no continuous seams that thicken form and therefore injure the sensitive body tissues in this zone could. Furthermore, it is easier because the insert before sewing into the Garment is flat, the handling by the seamstress. First the seams between the garment and the edges of the two slightly V-shaped opening cuts give the insert during sewing the garment has the necessary three-dimensional "anatomical" fit, i.e. a shape that adapts to the cyclist's body shape.
  • the Insoles are made from a flat sheet of material (natural or synthetic leather) "punched out" and no preparatory pre-forming is necessary.
  • the insert is sewn into the elastic garment relieved that with the seam for tacking the incisions in the Level of symmetry can start so the complex pant / insert from the beginning maintains its full stability.
  • the pants according to the invention thus offer the wearer maximum comfort and security and is also easier to manufacture.
  • FIG. 1 shows the inside of a pair of cycling trousers 1 viewed from above. This appears - in rough approximation - as a circular tube on top of it
  • the openings 2 and 3 are visible to the legs.
  • the pants exist of two completely symmetrical halves that are in the plane of symmetry (not shown) of the cyclist wearing the pants 1 with a seam 4 Are sewn together. In the area between the two openings 2 and 3 for the legs, i.e.
  • the protection of the bicycle saddle in Body parts of the cyclist coming into contact are intended both in terms of the mechanical stress due to the friction of body parts on the saddle (danger of abrasions or wolf, caused by the Body weight or by centrifugal force in steep, at high speed driven curves occurs, for example on racetracks, overheating effects, etc.), as well as with regard to external influences (rain, Cold, etc.).
  • the insert 5 as an important element of the present invention sewn along its entire outer edge with a seam 6, which preferably is designed as an elastic seam so that it fits the body shapes can adapt better.
  • the material from which the pants are made can be a fabric or knitwear of great elasticity (stretch) that allows the athlete freedom of movement as required in all sports becomes.
  • the insert 5 itself as such according to the prior art known, can be made both from padded natural leather or from a more or less padded synthetic leather.
  • the one chosen for the deposit Material is of course larger in the context of the present invention Importance because of the comfort properties and the life of the pants depend heavily on it.
  • the present invention relates not on a special insert material, but takes one according to inlay material optimally selected according to the current state of the art.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 there are two types of Deposits shown according to the known prior art.
  • Fig. 2 an insert 9 is shown, which consists of two with each other in one Middle plane are sewn, which after sewing the insert into the Pants match the cyclist's plane of symmetry.
  • the shape of the two halves of the insert 9 are designed in such a way that their connecting seam is a bulge of the two ends of the insert causes upwards, the insert when sewing a curved shape assumes that the lower part of the spine of the sitting on the saddle Driver.
  • the insert 9 consists of one wider rear part 9 ', which corresponds to the seating area of the body, as well as a narrower front part 9 "to protect the genital zone of the driver.
  • the rear part 9 ' the insert 9 is connected to the front part 9 ′′ via an intermediate region 9 ′′ is in which the pedaling motion in vertical planes of the legs expires next to the driver's torso.
  • the intermediate area mentioned 9 "'narrower which is the two lobes that make up the front Form part 9 "of insert 9, giving more opportunity to move.
  • FIG. 4 shows an insert which is used to manufacture an insert according to the invention Cycling pants allowed, namely in the stage of lying flat Shape cut that is ready to be sewn into the cycling pants. 4 can also have a wider rear one Part 12 ', which corresponds to the seating area of the body, and a narrower front section 12 "to protect the genital area of the cyclist and an intermediate area connecting the parts 12 'and 12 " 12 "', in which the pedaling movement of the legs of the cyclist takes place.
  • the area 12 "'therefore has the task of being wider between the rear Part 12 'of the insert 12 and the narrower front part 12 "an area to create with freedom of movement.
  • the insert as shown in FIG. 4, consists of a single, flat-lying piece and is in relation to the plane of symmetry of the cyclist symmetrical, which is shown in FIG. 4 with a dash-dotted line Line l is indicated. This line also forms the intersection of the Plane that intersects the plane of the insert vertically.
  • the pants plane 1 corresponds to the vertical plane of symmetry of the driver and also of the bike.
  • the wider portion 12 'of the insert 12 shown below then has a narrow incision 13 before sewing into the trousers 1 on, in the plane of symmetry essentially V-shaped and with less Opening width is formed.
  • the narrower section at the front is analogous 12 "of the insert 12 has a second narrow incision 14 which is not very open V-shaped is also arranged in the plane of symmetry.
  • the incisions 13 and 14 only sit from the edge of the insert 12 along an initial area of the corresponding sections 12 'and 12 ", which does not extend beyond the middle of this area.
  • the present invention follows the seam of the insert 12 in the pants 1 (Fig. 1) along the entire edge of the insert 12 in such a way that when the V-shaped cut edges of the incisions 13 and 14 sewn together in parallel the insert 12 takes on a three-dimensional shape which conforms to the body shape of the cyclist.
  • the insert 12 is made of a natural material such as leather or made of a synthetic material can be, whose thickness is preferably between 2 and 8 mm.
  • the material of the insert 12 when the edges of the Incisions 13 and 14 (see FIG. 1) when sewing together in parallel are contracted locally so that it bulges and a kind "cup" forms, like the forms of the inserts already described before 5, 9 according to Figures 2 and 3 have shown.
  • Such a deformation the insert 12 takes place only at the moment of sewing together the insert 12 in with the pants 1 and not before, as described in the State of the art: this facilitates the work of the seamstress who always prefers with two-dimensional instead of three-dimensional pieces to work.
  • the padding 15 has of course the purpose of being an effective shock absorber cushion to knocks and bumps to intercept the cyclist.
  • the thickness of the Padding 15 the same as, or larger than that of the insert 12, which in turn is preferably chosen between 2 and 8 mm.
  • the invention provides that the padding 13 from two parts 13 'and 13 " consists of one another in the plane of symmetry I by means of a depression (shown more clearly in FIGS. 6 and 7, the cross sections through the insert 12 along the lines A-A or B-B) in which after sewing the padded insert into the trousers 1, the middle seam or body seam 4 (Fig. 1) of the pants 1 is housed.
  • This preferred Embodiment of the invention shown in cross section in Fig.
  • the width M of the wider rear part 12 'of the insert 12 is approximately three times larger than the width m of their front narrower section 12 ". Thanks This arrangement results in optimal freedom of movement for the limbs of the cyclist.
  • the present invention is special in the present illustration Use as cycling pants or cycling dress has been described; However, it should be noted that the invention is in no way applicable to this application is restricted, but can also be used for Clothing for everyone else for entertainment or competitive purposes Sports, such as for equestrian sports, the longer lasting Condition sitting on a saddle.
