Definitions

  • the present invention refers, in its most general aspect, to the technical field of skin-tight sports clothing or trousers for cycling.
  • the invention refers in particular to a protection seat for cyclist trousers and to a method for making such a seat.
  • cyclist trousers is directed to any clothing used in the sport of cycling, like for example shorts or long trousers, overalls, tights body suit and similar;
  • seat on the other hand, is used to identify the variously shaped "pad" that is associated with the trousers or formed in the trousers themselves, to protect the perineal area of the body, in contact with the bicycle saddle.
  • the seat generally consists of a plurality of layers of soft materials, capable of damping bumps and fatigue stresses, and layers of fabric intended to make contact with the skin.
  • the seats currently used are unable to offer, on the one hand, sufficient protection to some particularly delicate body parts and, on the other hand, a satisfactory degree of general comfort, since the movements and the muscular stresses are not symmetrical during physical effort, but are 180° out of phase in accordance with the pedalling movement.
  • the problem forming the basis of the present invention is to devise and provide a protection seat for cyclist trousers, having structural and functional characteristics such as to completely overcome the quoted drawbacks with reference to the prior art.
  • a protection seat for cyclist trousers intended to be arranged at the so-called crotch area of the trousers themselves, and characterised in that it comprises, in a single piece, a front portion for protecting the pubic area and a rear portion for protecting the perineal and ischiatic area of the cyclist, in which both said front portion and said rear portion of the seat have a concave shell-shaped configuration.
  • the concave shell-shaped configuration of the front portion and of the rear portion of the seat are obtained, respectively, with joints of respective longitudinal median V-shaped notches of the seat. More preferably, said joints each extend for a length between about one quarter and about one third of the length of the seat itself.
  • the front portion of the seat is concave shell-shaped, shaped and sized to receive at least a part of the male genital organs of the cyclist wearing the trousers.
  • said front portion of the seat is anatomically shaped suitable so as to shield, and therefore also to protect and possibly to support, the male genitals, in particular the scrotal area, and is sized and limited to front areas of the seat that are not subject to the tensions due to the pedalling movement.
  • the rear part of the seat is concave shell-shaped, suitable for making the garment more anatomical and wearable as a whole, and for making it more comfortable to sit on the saddle.
  • the rear portion of the seat is equipped with at least a pair of shaped pads, equally spaced apart and mirroring one another with respect to a median longitudinal line of the seat.
  • Also forming the object of the invention is a method for manufacturing a protection seat for cyclist trousers, characterised in that it comprises at least the steps of:
  • a step of associating shaped pads with the rear part of the seat is also provided.
  • the V-shaped cut is made by removing a triangular piece of the front or rear portion, respectively, of the seat, and obtaining rectilinear flaps.
  • the invention allows to obtain a seat having itself the anatomical shell-shape of the front and rear part, thanks to the described process of making V-notches and joining the flaps. From the point of view of production, advantages are achieved in associating the seat with different models of trousers, since the seat itself has the desired characteristics of anatomical design.
  • padded cyclist trousers are made through the preparation of a seat as described above, obtaining a concave shell shape both in the front part and in the rear part of the seat, and then through the joining (for example stitching) of the seat to the trousers.
  • the seat 110 essentially comprises a top layer 111 and a top layer 112, both made from elastic fabric, natural or synthetic, with an intermediate layer 113 of soft material.
  • Said seat 110 has a front portion 116 and a rear portion 118 to respectively protect the front pubic area and perineal-ischiatic area of the cyclist.
  • Said front and rear portions 116, 118 both have a substantially concave and shell-shaped configuration.
  • the seat 110 as a whole tends to take up a shell-shaped configuration, in which two depressions 130 and 131 meet, respectively for the front and rear area, aligned along the median line 122 of the seat, with side walls that progressively rise with respect to said depressions.
  • the concave shell-shaped configuration of the portions 116 and 118 is preferably obtained with longitudinal median joints 128, 129 between the flaps of respective V notches made at the front and rear, as shall be made clearer hereafter with reference to an example.
  • the front portion 116 is preferably made with an anatomical shape suitable for shielding the male genitals, in particular the scrotal area, and is sized and limited to front areas of the seat 110 that are not subject to the tensions that can derive from the pedalling movement.
  • the rear portion 118 is equipped with at least a pair of shaped pads 120.
  • Said pads 120 are preferably enantiomorphous, i.e. equally spaced and mirroring one another with respect to said median longitudinal line 122 of the seat 110.
  • Figs. 2 to 4 schematically represent a method for manufacturing the seat 110.
  • the manufacturing method essentially comprises the steps of:
  • the median longitudinal notches 124 and 125 are passing-through notches, i.e. made on the entire seat.
  • both the layers 111 and 112 and the intermediate layer 113 are cut, with removal of a triangular fragment of material corresponding to the V of the notch, and obtaining substantially rectilinear flaps 126, 127.
  • the joints 128 and 129 are made along the entire extension of the respective notch, joining the flaps for their entire length.
  • joints 128, 129 are made on the seat before being stitched on to the trousers.
  • the seat in itself, as a finished product has the anatomical shell shape of the front and rear portions 116, 118.
  • the joints 128 and 129 have the effect of defining a concave shell shape of the front part 116 and of the rear part 118 of the seat 110.
  • Said joints 128 and 129 are made with conventional techniques, e.g. stitching, heat sealing or gluing.
  • each of the notches 124 and 125, and therefore the respective joints 128, 129 of the flaps 126 and 127 extend for a length between about one quarter and about one third of the initial length of the shaped seat.
  • the longitudinal size of the seat, along the line 122 ( Fig. 2 ) is about 40 cm
  • the front V notch 124 is about 10-12 cm and similarly the rear V notch 125 is about 10-12 cm.
  • the rear V notch 125 is about 10-12 cm.
  • such indications are not limiting.
  • the method comprises a further step of associating the shaped pads 120 with the rear portion 118 of the seat 110, with conventional techniques, for example with stitching, heat sealing or gluing.
  • the pads 120 can be stitched or associated in another way to the seat 110 irrespectively before or after making the notches 124, 125 and the joints 128, 129.
  • Figs. 5 and 6 show an example of a skin-tight sports garment or cyclist trousers, wholly indicated with 12, equipped with the described protection seat 110.
  • the protection seat 110 is placed at the so-called crotch area 14 of said trousers 12.
  • the seat 110 is associated with the trousers 12, or is formed in the trousers 12 themselves, and is intended to protect the perineal and ischiatic area of the cyclist's body, which is in contact with the bicycle saddle during use.
  • the shell-shaped configuration of the front part 116 gives an improved fit in particular for male cyclists.
  • Said shell-shaped front portion limited to the front areas of the seat that are not subject to the tensions deriving from the pedalling movement, remains substantially still during use, and consequently does not compress the scrotal area, so that the trousers are particularly comfortable.
  • a further advantage, for male cyclists, is represented by the fact that the front portion of the shell-shaped seat protects and also supports the genitals.
  • the concave shell-shaped configuration of the rear shape further improves the characteristics of skin-tightness and fit.
