Aus der Loseblattsammlung "Persönliche Schutzausrüstung", Kapitel III - 7.5, Seiten 11-14, 27. Ergänzungslieferung vom Oktober 1973 sind Schutzanzüge als Warnkleidung bekannt. Solche Warnkleidung muß den Anforderungen der Europäischen Norm EN 471 für Erkennbarkeit am Tag und in der Nacht erfüllen. Problematisch dabei ist die Verschmutzung der Außenfläche der Warnkleidung, die dazu führen kann, daß die verschmutzte Warnkleidung von Beobachtern nicht ausreichend wahrgenommen wird.From the loose-leaf collection "Personal protective equipment", Chapter III - 7.5, pages 11-14, 27. Supplementary delivery from October 1973 protective suits are known as warning clothing. Such warning clothing must meet the requirements of the European standard EN 471 for Fulfill visibility during the day and at night. Pollution is a problem here the outer surface of the warning clothing, which can lead to the dirty Warning clothing is not sufficiently observed by observers.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist daher ein verbessertes Bekleidungsstück zu entwickeln, das als Warnkleidung dient.The object of the present invention is therefore to improve an item of clothing develop that serves as warning clothing.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die Innenhülle eine wasserdichte und atmungsaktive Funktionsschicht aufweist und die Außenhülle aus einem Stoff besteht, welcher fluoreszierend gefärbt ist. Dabei wird ein Bekleidungsstück geschaffen, das als Warnkleidung dienen kann und jederzeit von einem Träger getragen werden kann. Die Trennung der Innen- und Außenhüllen erlaubt einem separaten Waschen der beiden Teile. Die verschmutzte Außenhülle kann beispielsweise bei einer höheren Temperatur als die Innenhülle gewaschen werden. Die Außenhülle kann auch mittels eines Preßverfahrens bis zu einem Druck von 25 bar getrocknet werden.This object is achieved in that the inner shell is waterproof and has a breathable functional layer and the outer shell is made of a fabric, which is colored fluorescent. A piece of clothing is created that as Warning clothing can serve and can be worn by a wearer at any time. The Separation of the inner and outer casings allows the two parts to be washed separately. The dirty outer shell can, for example, at a higher temperature than that Inner shell can be washed. The outer shell can also be pressed up to be dried to a pressure of 25 bar.

Aufgrund der wasserdichten Eigenschaften kann das Bekleidungsstück auch in sehr schlechtem Wetter von dem Träger getragen werden, was eine Steigerung der Produktivität der Träger des Bekleidungsstücks bedeutet. Die hohe Atmungsaktivität des Bekleidungsstücks erlaubt dem Träger des Bekleidungsstücks, das Bekleidungsstück über längere Zeit bequem zu tragen, da Wasserdampf (Schweiß) vom Träger zur Außenwelt durch den Stoff gelangt. Erfahrungsgemäß sind Träger solcher Bekleidungsstücke weniger krankheitsfällig.Due to the waterproof properties, the garment can also be very Bad weather can be carried by the wearer, increasing productivity means the wearer of the garment. The high breathability of the Garment allows the wearer of the garment to wear the garment over Can be worn comfortably for a long time, as water vapor (sweat) from the wearer to the outside world through the fabric. Experience has shown that wearers of such clothing are less sick.

Vorzugsweise ist die Außenhülle aufgrund der sehr starken Beanspruchung scheuerfest. Dabei soll der Stoff, aus dem das Bekleidungsstück hergestellt wird, eine Höchstzugkraft von mindestens 850N in Kettrichtung und eine Höchstzugkraft von mindestens 650N in Schußrichtung aufweist. In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Außenhülle mit hydrophoben und/oder oleophoben Elementen ausgestattet, um die wasser- und schmutzabweisende Eigenschaften der Außenhülle zu verbessern. Vorzugsweise werden dabei Fluorcarbone eingesetzt.The outer shell is preferably abrasion-resistant due to the very heavy use. The fabric from which the garment is made should have a maximum tensile force of at least 850N in the warp direction and a maximum tensile force of at least 650N in Has weft direction. In one embodiment of the invention, the outer shell is with hydrophobic and / or oleophobic elements equipped to the water and Improve the dirt-repellent properties of the outer shell. Preferably be fluorocarbons are used.

Im Gegensatz zu den bisher bekannten Bekleidungsstücken hat das Bekleidungsstück auch nach 30 industriellen Waschzyklen eine Warnfunktion aufgrund des separaten Waschvorgangs der Innen- und Außenhülle. Die Kombination von Außen- und Innenhülle bleibt nach 30 industriellen Waschzyklen wasserdicht und atmungsaktiv. Vorzugsweise entspricht die Warnfunktion den Erfordernissen der europäischen Norm EN471, damit das Bekleidungsstück in den vom Gesetz vorgeschrieben Situationen eingesetzt wird.In contrast to the previously known items of clothing, the item of clothing also has after 30 industrial washing cycles, a warning function due to the separate Wash the inner and outer shell. The combination of outer and inner shell remains waterproof and breathable after 30 industrial washing cycles. Preferably the warning function complies with the requirements of the European standard EN471, so that the Garment is used in the situations required by law.

Eine möglichst hohe Anzahl von Waschzyklen ist für die Betreiber von Mietwäsche-Firmen von großer Bedeutung, da sie einer größeren Anzahl von Tragezyklen der Mietwäsche erlaubt und somit kann das Bekleidungsstück über längere Zeit amortisiert werden.The highest possible number of washing cycles is for the operators of rental laundry companies of great importance as they have a larger number of wear cycles of rental laundry allowed and thus the item of clothing can be amortized over a longer period of time.

Damit das Bekleidungsstück für den Träger bequem bleibt, weist die Außenhülle einen Wasserdampfdurchgangswiderstand ≤ 5 (m2.Pa) / W auf. Die Innenhülle hält einen Wasserdruck von mindestens 1 bar aus und hat einen Wasserdampfdurchgangswiderstand von ≤ 150 (m2.Pa) / W. Auch nach 30 industriellen Waschzyklen hat die Innenhulle einen Wasserdampfdurchgangswiderstand von ≤ 150 (m2.Pa) / W, vorzugsweise ≤ 20 (m2.Pa) / W, so daß die Innenhülle noch bequem zu tragen bleibt. So that the item of clothing remains comfortable for the wearer, the outer cover has a water vapor resistance of ≤ 5 (m 2 .Pa) / W. The inner casing withstands a water pressure of at least 1 bar and has a water vapor resistance of ≤ 150 (m 2 .Pa) / W.
