Definitions

  • European Patent No 1110464 is known in the state of the art, which protects a garment, especially for swimmers, which incorporates extendible, elastic fabric panels or pieces, with the said stitched panels or pieces given the form of certain active muscles in the human body, especially the abdominal region and buttocks.
  • a piece or panel of extendible, elastic material has been specifically produced, with the specific form of at least one muscle of those considered as being active or that carry out a determined force, to join the said fabric piece or panel to the rest of the garment by stitching so that, when the user has put on the garment (is wearing) in question, the said piece or panel coincides with the active muscle to which it has given form.
  • USA Patent No 4625336 from the NIKE INC company is also known, which especially distinguishes some leotards for runners that provide special protection for the so-called muscles and tendons by means of panels that provide heat. At the same time, said panels are joined by means of special seams.
  • European Patent No 0411351 (ES2051413 T3) from Descente Ltd, protects a garment for use in swimming and cycling to reduce resistance to fluids, especially air and water resistance, covering at least a part adjacent to the opening in the neck area, in the lateral cuts and the back cut of the garment in question, by means of a patch of a uniform surface sheet, which is impermeable to both air and water and made of flexible resin.
  • the European Patent No 1127500 belonging to Adidas International B.V. makes reference to a bathing costume that is intended to increase the swimmer's swimming ability in water. It is said that the swimmer's psychological responses are influenced, improving the exactness of the swimmers movements and optimizing the direction of the resulting propelling forces.
  • USA Patent No 6098198, of David L. Jacobs et al is also known, which distinguishes a method and system for reducing the resistance once the human body is moving through a fluid.
  • the said system comprises a series of strips in the form or protuberances that guide and channel the fluid and create turbulences.
  • Patent PCT/ES02/002366 which consists in a sports garment of the type that is manufactured in a lightweight, elastic, adaptable fabric consisting of a first strip of a polymer or copolymer in contact with the wearer's skin that surrounds at least one part of the wearer's body, a second strip of polymer or copolymer in the trunk areas or surrounding the wearer's neck area, in contact with a part of the sport garment and a preformed section in prominent or articulated regions of the human body.
  • This invention represents a great advance in the clothing sector, especially with respect to sports clothing.
  • swimming has developed in an attempt to produce the least amount possible of friction between the human body and the water in the swimming pool.
  • the bathing costume is made of a fabric because the swimmer requires transpiration to prevent the local skin heating effect, together with the consequent stinging sensation and bums.
  • the fabrics also have the inconvenience that in the case of the fluid being a liquid, they will absorb the said liquid and increase the weight of the fabric.
  • the applicant has resolved this through the addition of a water-repellent to the plain weave or taffeta fabric, which allows water to enter and permits it to come into contact with the wearer's skin and transpiration, but, at the same time it does not become soaked with the said liquid and hence does not increase the fabric's weight.
  • the fabric In addition at repelling the water, the fabric allows that the referred fabric be just as fine and thin as it is when not in contact with the fluid, and at the same, enables the fabric to slide much better through the referred fluid.
  • the plain weave or taffeta fabric must be bi-elastic, which means that the compression must be always the same in both directions and that the outer elastic fibres always lie in the direction of the fluid.
  • the fabric is gathered in the back region so that it allows the said fabric to adapt the shape of the sportsperson, wrapping around his or her figure and preventing friction.
  • Flares in a material that is more elastic than the actual main fabric are incorporated into the legs and arms, which allow the trouser legs to be enlarged to facilitate putting on and taking off of the sports garment in question.
  • a anti-transparent porous lining has been incorporated into the crotch area, which permits skin transpiration and at the same time, prevents the fabric from becoming transparent.
  • micro-porous film of polyurethane joined to the said fabric by means of an adhesive, having the anatomical shape of the muscle or muscles that compress it.
  • the fabric in question although it could also apply to any other type of fabric, incorporates at least one area of impulsion comprising a series of projecting half moon shapes.
  • the inventor has examined the distribution of scales in fish and how these favour the sliding of the same through the fluid.
  • a sinusoidal movement together with the fins and gills, the fish is able to move itself and achieve the required speed.
  • Humans are unable to reproduce this sinusoidal movement with their bodies and must cause the opposite movement in order to produce the action-reaction by means of the turbulences. From this it is believed that scales arranged in an inverted order and empty could lead to the required action-reaction and create sufficient turbulence to increase the swimmers speed.
  • the said half moon shapes are oriented convexly with respect to the swimmer's direction of movement, so that they brake the movement of the fluid over which the garment is sliding. This leads to the creation of turbulences that react in the direction of the swimmer's movement increasing his or her speed.
  • a lightweight, elastic and adaptable fabric 1 is distinguished, micro-porous polyurethane films 2, porous linings 3, 4 and 5, flares 5 and gather 7 at the back, pre-shaped forms in the gluteal areas 8, chest 9 and crotch 12, impulsion areas 10, projecting half-moon shapes 11, the flare material 14, the fluid lines 13, the imaginary line 15 dividing the impulsion areas and the two halves 18a and 16b of impulsion area divided by the said imaginary line.
  • this sports garment applied to swimmers in this particular case, is made of a lightweight, elastic and adaptable fabric 1, and also a bi-elastic plain weave or taffeta fabric (Fig. 15), with water-repellent properties.
  • the said bi-elastic plain weave or taffeta fabric (Fig. 15) consists of an elastomer covered with polyamide and polyester fibre, both in the warp and the weft; although it could also be any other type of thread with the technical property of being elastic.
  • Pre-formed shapes 8, 9 and 12 are included, which adapt to a prominent part or articulation of the human body, specifically the crotch 12, in the breast area 8 of ladies swimming costumes and in the gluteal area 9.
  • the rear section specifically the back, a gather 7 is incorporated that assists in maintaining the swimming costume in question better adhered to the body, enhancing its reduced resistance to fluids.
  • a flare 6 has been incorporated in the trouser legs in this concrete embodiment, using a material 14 that is more elastic than the said fabric 1, which facilitates the wearing of the said trousers by the athlete.
  • An anti-transparent porous lining 3, 4 and 5 has been incorporated into the fabric of the crotch areas, which prevents the said areas from being more or less seen when the swimsuit is wet, especially in those which, for commercial reasons, have to be in a light colour.
  • An adhesive is used to join the said lining to the fabric, although any other method could be employed.
  • a micro-porous polyurethane film 2 is joined to the said fabric 1, with the anatomic shape of at least part of the muscle or muscles that compress it.
  • the impulsion area 10 consists of a series of projecting half-moon shapes 11, convexly oriented with respect to the direction of the swimmer's movement, so that they brake the movement of the fluid 13 through which the garment is moving, creating turbulences that facilitate an action-reaction of the swimmer's body in the water.
  • An imaginary line 15 divides the area of impulsion 10 into two symmetrical or almost symmetrical halves 16a and 16b, with a succession of half-moon shapes 11 existing on this imaginary line 15 the concavity of which is orientated towards the feet.
  • the said half-moon shapes 11 are arranged to that their lines are progressively rotated until they reach, at the limits of impulsion area 10, or almost, the perpendicularity of the convexity in relation to the said imaginary line 15, facilitating the exit of the fluid to the sides eliminating part of the friction with the swimmer's body.
