Definitions
- the invention relates to a waterproof collar connection device for retrofitting a garment having a removable lining with a functional layer garment to be arranged between the garment and lining with a waterproof, water vapor-permeable functional layer, the garment having a double-layer collar with an outer material layer and an inner material layer.
- Retrofitting is to be understood here to mean both the initial retrofitting of an item of clothing that has already been manufactured, for which no functional layer was originally intended, with a functional layer garment, as well as the reintroduction into the garment of a functional layer garment that has been temporarily removed from the garment.
- Garments that are permeable to water vapor, but also permeable to water, but are made watertight by equipping them with a waterproof, water vapor-permeable functional layer, while maintaining water vapor permeability, are becoming very popular. Such garments have also proven themselves as workwear and protective work clothing. There are items of clothing that can be relatively heavily soiled when worn, for example fire jackets, so that they have to be subjected to rigid cleaning processes. These could damage the functional layer, for example in the form of a microporous film made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
- PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
- the solution is a waterproof collar connection device of the type specified in the introduction, which is characterized by a first functional layer strip provided between the two collar material layers and having an upper edge which is connected to a first detachable closure can be connected to the upper edge of the collar, and a lower edge, which can be connected to the lining with a second detachable closure, and by a second functional layer strip with an upper edge, which can be connected to the inside of the outer collar material layer via a third releasable closure below the upper edge of the collar, and one Lower edge, which can be connected to the functional layer garment, the two functional layer strips being attached to one another by means of a waterproof adhesive seam in a line located between the upper edge and the lower edge of the second functional layer strip and running approximately parallel to the upper edge of the first functional layer strip, and the lower edge of the collar inner layer by means of a fourth detachable closure can be folded away from the outer material layer.
- a garment for which no functional layer was initially provided can subsequently be made watertight and still permeable to water vapor.
- items of clothing can also be provided with a removable functional layer item of clothing which is removed from the item of clothing, for example, when the item of clothing is subjected to a cleaning process.
- the collar connection device according to the invention can also have a connection for a removable lining.
- a garment equipped with such a collar connection device for example a jacket or a coat, can therefore be worn either without a functional layer garment and without lining, only with a functional layer garment or with both a functional layer garment and with lining.
- the collar connection device 13 is located between an inner collar layer 15 and an outer collar layer 17.
- the two collar layers 15 and 17 are connected to one another at an upper collar edge 19 by means of a sewing seam 21 sewn.
- An upper zipper 23 is also sewn to the upper collar 19 by means of the sewing seam 21.
- a first functional layer strip 25 is sewn onto the longitudinal side edge of the upper zipper 23 lying away from the upper collar edge 19 by means of a sewing seam 27.
- the first functional layer strip 25 is deposited with a stabilizing strip 31 made of any material, the first functional layer strip 25 facing the outer collar layer 17 and the stabilizing strip 31 facing the inner collar layer 15.
- the functional layer strip 25 and the stabilization strip 31 are fastened to one another at a lower edge by means of a sewing seam 33.
- the upper edge of a clip 35 is also sewn onto the lower edge of these two strips 25 and 31.
- a lower zipper 39 is sewn onto the lower edge thereof by means of a sewing seam 37, and a removable winter lining 41 is sewn onto the longitudinal strip edge lying away from the clasp 35.
- a second functional layer strip 43 is located between the outer collar layer 17 and the outer functional layer strip layer 25, the upper edge of which is fastened to the inside of the outer collar layer 17 by means of a sewing seam 47 via a central zip fastener 45.
- the sewing seam 47 is located below a collar fold line running parallel to the upper collar edge 19 (not shown in the drawing), in which the upper region of the collar 11 is folded over the outer collar layer 17.
- the lower edge of the second functional layer strip is with the upper edge of a functional layer garment 49 sewn, by means of a sewing seam 51, which is sealed on the outside facing the collar outer layer 17 by means of a waterproof sweatband 53.
- the second functional layer strip 43 and the first functional layer strip 25 are connected to one another by means of an adhesive seam 55 made of waterproof adhesive material.
- Complementary push-button elements 57 are provided on the clasp 35 and at corresponding points on the lower edge of the inner collar 15, by means of which the lower edge of the inner collar 15 can be releasably attached to the clasp 35. This gives the possibility to fold up the inner collar layer 15 away from the outer collar layer 17 in order to gain access to all three zippers 23, 39 and 45 if the collar connection device 13 is to be separated from or connected to the collar 11 to the functional layer garment and / or remove or insert the lining from the garment.
- the stability strip 31 serves to increase the stability of the collar connection device 11, but is not absolutely necessary.
- the second functional layer strip 43 and its attachment below the fold-over line are provided in order to keep the lining and the outer fabric of the garment in the correct position relative to one another.
- the two layers of collar material are stitched at a height which approximately corresponds to the adhesive seam 55, which is not possible if there is a functional layer between the inner collar layer and the outer collar layer. If you do not see such a stitching or attach a middle layer by means of the middle zip 45 and the adhesive seam 55 and if the collar is pushed backwards, i.e. from the head, the lining hangs out at the lower end of the garment. also otherwise you would have to shake the lining in the correct position every time you put on the garment.
- the seam 51 is sealed on the outside with sweatband 53 in order to prevent water penetrating via the collar outer layer 17 from passing through the seam 51 and penetrating onto the inside of the functional layer garment 49. From there, the water could either advance to the lining 41 or, if none exist, to garments worn under the garment with the collar connector 13.
- the seam 27 is not sealed with a sweatband. If the user of the item of clothing does not wear a helmet or hood over his head, water runs into the inside of the collar of the item of clothing anyway on the inside of the collar inner layer 15. Since the sewing seam 27 runs relatively close below the upper collar edge 19, sealing the sewing seam 27 with sweatband is of no use. Normally, however, users such as firefighters, for example, wear helmets or hoods, which cover the sewing seam 27, so that no water penetrates there via the outer collar layer 17 to the seam 27.
- the push-button elements 57 on the clasp 35 do not need to be watertight or sealed, since this area is protected from the ingress of water by the functional layer clothing item 49, by the sweatband 53 and by the adhesive seam 55.
- the lower edge of the inner collar layer 15 can be attached directly to the functional layer garment 49 by means of a Velcro fastener.
- the counterpart of the Velcro fastener attached to the inner collar 15 would then be on the functional layer garment sewn, this seam would be sealed with sweatband.
- Materials suitable for the functional layer include microporous stretched polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as described in U.S. Patents 3,953,566 and 4,187,390; stretched PTFE provided with hydrophilic impregnating agents and / or layers as described in US Pat. No. 4,194,041; breathable polyurethane layers; or elastomers such as copolyether esters and their laminates as described in U.S. Patents 4,725,481 and 4,493,870.
