Definitions

  • the instant invention relates to wetsuits and technical wetsuits for use in water sports such as surfing, sailboarding, sailboard riding, water skiing, diving, swimming or other similar activities.
  • the instant invention is related to an improved technical wetsuit stimulating the wearer's muscles.
  • Wet suits are tight fitting water-permeable suits worn by surfers, board sailors, swimmers, divers and the like in order to retain body heat and provide buoyancy while their wearer's are immersed in cold water.
  • wetsuits are usually formed in flexible rubber foam like "neoprene" foam.
  • Rubber foams are made of non-fibrous rubber enclosing gas bubbles that reduce the density of the wetsuit and helps swimmers to stay afloat. These bubbles also reduce the ability of the wetsuit to conduct heat, thereby helping the wearer's body to stay warm.
  • Thermal insulation is further achieved through a snug fit of the wetsuit on the wearer that keeps a thin layer of water between the fabric of the wetsuit and the skin of the body. It is therefore advantageous that no additional water enters the wetsuit once the initial layer has been established and has been warmed by the body.
  • Document FR2915851 describes a garment with localized compression effect obtained by assembling first pieces of basic elasticity and second pieces that present a compression effect.
  • the second pieces are arranged in the assembly so as to surround certain transverse sections of limbs and torso in full or in part to apply a compression effect on the wearer commonly referred to as "strapping". Strapping intends to reduce physiological, physical, and psychological fatigue as well as vibration of the muscles that causes loss of energy thus improving comfort of the wetsuit.
  • the present invention has thus been developed with a greater emphasis on performance rather than comfort and a wetsuit according to the invention should be considered to be a technical wetsuit which aims at improving the performance of a wearer doing water sports such as surfing.
  • the wet suit will be designed to help the wearer perform the gestures which are common to the sport to which the wet suit is designed.
  • a wetsuit 10 is depicted as being worn by a wearer 100.
  • the wetsuit 10 closely conforms to the shape of the body of the wearer 100.
  • the different parts of wetsuit 10 will often be indicated by the anatomical parts of the wearer 100 that they are adjacent to.
  • the "elbow” or “elbow section” of the wetsuit 10 will be the portion of the wetsuit 10 that would be adjacent to the elbow of a wearer if the wetsuit 10 was being worn.
  • outside and inside should be seen as referring to the surfaces of the wetsuit 10 that are in contact respectively with the external environment and the body of the wearer 100 when the wetsuit 10 is being worn as it is intended.
  • the wetsuit 10 comprises a pair of lower leg regions 11, a pair of upper leg regions 12, a pelvic region 13, a torso region 14, a pair of upper arm regions 15 and a pair of forearm regions 16. These regions are not intended to demarcate precise regions of the wetsuit 10 but rather to provide a reference frame for the following specifications.
  • Various views are provided in Figure 2 to 4 illustrating front, back and left views of the wetsuit 10 in the absence of the wearer 100.
  • the wetsuit 10 comprises five openings: two feet openings 11a allowing the feet 110 of the wearer to extend outside of the wetsuit 10, two hand openings 16a through which the hands 120 of the wearer extend, and a neck opening 14a to allow the wearer 100 to enter and exit from the wetsuit 10 and to further allow the head 130 of the wearer 100 to extend outside the wetsuit 10 when it is worn.
  • the neck opening 14a can comprise a waterproof zipper 14b, shown on Figure 8 , or more elaborated features in order to improve the ease of entry while reducing the penetration of water through the opening between the wetsuit and the wearer.
  • An example of such a neck opening 14a is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,898,934 to Hunter .
  • small perforated panels 80 can be provided in proximity of the feet and hands openings 11a, 16a.
  • FIG. 1 front and back illustrations of a wetsuit 10 in accordance with one embodiment of the invention are shown.
  • a plurality of first panels 20 forms the majority of the wetsuit 1 and includes two lower leg panels 21, two upper leg panels 22, a front torso panel 23, two upper torso panels 24, two shoulder panels 25 and two forearm panels 26.
  • the plurality of panels 20 further includes, on the back of the wetsuit 10, five lower back torso panels 27, a spinal panel 28 and two upper back torso panels 29.
  • Panels 20 preferably comprise rubber foam in order to provide the desired buoyancy and stretch to the wetsuit 10.
  • rubber foam can be for instance made from a neoprene foam or any type of non-fibrous elastomeric material that can provide buoyancy to the wearer, for instance by trapping gas, in the form of gas bubbles.
  • a material with a density less than 50 Lbs/ft3 can be for instance used by the skilled man.
  • said material can present a high tensile stretch in order to fit tightly about the body of the wearer.
  • Panels 20 are 2D panels, in that both dimensions of the panels transverse to the thickness direction are of the same scale order.
  • the level of high tensile elasticity is similar in all directions of the panel.
  • the material can also be selected to prevent the circulation of water between the suit and the body.
  • the thickness of panels 20 can vary depending on the desired characteristics and comfort required by the wearer.
  • a light weight wetsuit to be used in warm water can be made with panels 20 having a thickness ranging between 0.5 and 2 millimetres, a medium weight wetsuit would have panels with a thickness between 2 and 3 millimetres and a cold water wetsuit can have panels of a thickness up to 5 millimetres.
  • wetsuit The thicker the wetsuit is, the more buoyancy it provides. However, a thicker wetsuit usually restricts free movements of the wearer and bends have sometimes to be provided at the elbows and knees to increase the flexibility of the wetsuit.
  • the wetsuit 10 also comprises a plurality of second panels 30 that can for instance consists in a plurality of strips 30 of short transverse dimensions forming a network of one-dimensional strips. Compared to the 2D panels, the 1D strips are characterized by a length being at least 5 times greater than the width. Both dimensions are still greater than the thickness. This network extends from the feet opening 11a up to the hands openings 16a and the neck opening 14a.
  • the plurality of strips 30 includes lower leg strips 31, upper leg strips 32, waist strips 33, back spinal strips 34, upper back strips 35, front torso strips 36, front arm strips 37 and forearm strips 38.
  • the geometry of the strips network will be further detailed below.
  • the strips 30 are joined together in such a way that all free extremities of the network of strip 30 are located at the feet, hand and neck openings, 11a, 14a, 16a.
  • some strips 30 can be joined together in a star pattern with said strips 30 extending from a single point.
  • Strips 30 are made of rubber foam that can be for instance neoprene foam or any type of non-fibrous elastomeric material.
  • the degree of stretch of rubber foam can be determined by using methods known to the skilled men.
  • Strips 30 are located over specific muscles and in specific direction of the wearer (also named “power lines”) that are used in water sports and which will be detailed further in the following.
  • Back spinal strips 34 and upper back strips 35 are located above specific upper back muscles for instance latissimus dorsi muscles 114a or trapezius muscles 114b that are roughly indicated on Figure 5 . These muscles 114a, 114b are heavily involved when the wearer 100 is swimming the freestyle stroke, the front crawl, pushes up to stand on the board or is performing surfing movements.
  • an action direction A1 which is a direction of a power line of the body.
  • Strips 34 and 35 are oriented approximately along said action direction A1 and will thus elongate with the extension of the arm 116. Since they have a low-stretch, they apply a reactive load to the wearer 100 in the opposite direction R1 to the action direction A1.
  • upper leg strips 32 and waist strips 33 are located around the waist and the thighs of the wetsuit.
  • the hip and waist of the wearer 100 comprises the gluteal muscles 113a and quadriceps 113b that are roughly indicated on Figure 5 . These muscles 113a, 113b are for instance involved when the wearer 100 is standing on a surfboard and are essential to complete surfing manoeuvres. In a proper position, the wearer 100 have the hips/pelvis opened and the leg slightly bent.
  • the action and relaxation directions A2, R2, A3, R3 of the wearer 100 during such movement are sketched on Figure 5 .
  • upper leg strips 32 and waist strips 33 are oriented approximately along said action directions A2, A3, in order to apply a reactive load to the wearer 100 along the relaxation directions R2, R3 and to increase the velocity of relaxation of hip and waist muscles.
  • every strip 30 is specifically designed to stimulate the velocity of a group of muscles and the suit is thus designed to implicate almost all muscle groups in the body.
  • Lower leg strips 31, front torso strips 36, front arm strips 37 and forearm strips 38 have a similar effect during surfing movements, each being related to a specific muscle or muscle groups.
  • Lower leg strips 31 and forearm strips 38 are also used to transmit the load to the extremities of the wearer 100, giving more feedback of the wetsuit 10.
  • Lower leg strips 31 and forearm strips 38 further strengthen the mechanical resistance of the wetsuit 100 under heavy duty.
  • the reactive load applied by the strips 30 is designed to mimic the naturally occurring stretch reflexes within the body of the wearer 100.
  • the wetsuit 10 amplify the body response of action and reaction. This allows the wearer 100 to move smoothly through all actions which are required by the sport but in a highly energized way.
  • the wearer 100 awareness of its body is both complemented and enhanced by the suit as the wetsuit 10 is designed to exaggerate the body response for action.
  • the placement and the shape of the strips or second panels 30 can be adapted to movements and muscles evolved in water sports other than surfing, like swimming, sailboarding, sailboard riding, water skiing or diving.
  • a wetsuit 10 according to the invention is particularly suitable for customization so that the directions and positions of the simulating panels 30 can be selected based on individual requirements.
  • a customer could for example, be measured or assessed prior to the creation of the wetsuit 10 to assess what stimulation characteristics the wetsuit 10 should have.
  • the strips or second panels 30 can thus be adapted and have any suitable shape, for instance a rectangular shape, square or oval. They might also be of irregular shapes.
  • the second panels 30 can also have any suitable length and follow any suitable path in order to be adapted to the sport and/or the wearer 100.
  • first panels 20 and the strips or second panels 30 will now be described in further details with reference to figures 6 and 7 detailing cross sections of the wetsuit 10 of figures 2 to 5 .
  • Figure 6 shows a cross section of a wetsuit 10 showing junctions 40 between two panels 20 and a strip 30. Both panels 20 are juxtaposed on both sides the strip 30.
  • the panels 20 have an inner face 20a, and an opposed outer face 20b. On each side, they have a lateral face 20c extending across the thickness from the inner face 20a to the outer face 20b.
  • the strips 30 have an inner face 30a, and an opposed outer face 30b. On each side, they have a lateral face 30c extending across the thickness from the inner face 30a to the outer face 30b.
  • a panel 20 is juxtaposed to a neighbour strip 30 by placing the lateral face 20c of the panel facing a lateral face 30c of the neighbour strip. This is reproduced for all panels and strips.
  • a junction 40 between the panels 20 and the strip 30 comprises several members in order to be strong and reliable when panels and strips stretch and to prevent the entry of water during the usage.
  • a strip of waterproof glue 41 is introduced between a panel 20 and the strip 30.
  • the panel 20 and the strip 30 are stitched together with a seam 42 in order to be fastened in a reliable manner.
  • the stitch 42 does not penetrate through to the inner side of the panel 20 and the strip 30; it only passes half way through the panel 20 and the strip 30 from the outside.
  • a rubber layer 43 is added on top of the junction 40, commonly known as a fluid seam or a liquid seam.
  • the thickness of the panels 20 and strips 30 is identical to provide a good cooperation between lateral faces of strips 30c and panels 20c. This arrangement ensures a reliable and waterproof junction 40 and eases the fabrication process.
  • the strips 30 can be placed on the inside or on the outside of the panels 20.
  • the wetsuit could thus be fabricated using fewer panels which reduces the cost of fabrication.
  • the panels 20 can be coated with two layers of 50, 51, respectively on the outside and the inside of the wetsuit 10 that can reinforce the rubber foam 52.
  • layer 51 can be a textile layer made of jersey, nylon, spandex or any other material comfortable to wear for the wearer 100.
  • layer 50 can also be a layer of nylon, spandex or the like and is usually chosen to improve the resistance of the panels 20 and the hydrodynamic properties of the wetsuit 10.
  • the strips 30 can also be coated on the inside with a layer 60 made of textile that can be a jersey, nylon, spandex or any other material comfortable to wear for the wearer 100. On the outside, the rubber foam 61 can be visible.
  • a pattern can be embossed on the outside surface 62 of the strips 30, for instance a diamond pattern.
  • rubber foam 61 constituting the strips 30 is pressed while being heated up to the melting point of the rubber.
  • the pattern is thus made of thinner melted rubber which has a lower stretch and therefore increases the above detailed stimulation properties.
  • the strip 30 are located above the muscles 113a, 113b, 114a, 114b of the wearer 100 to make the stimulation of the muscles 113a, 113b, 114a, 114b detailed above more efficient.
  • the wetsuit 10 can slide on his skin and the strips 30 can be shifted from their optimal positions.
  • Figure 7 illustrates another cross-section of the wetsuit, identical to the cross-section of figure 6 but with the inside of the wetsuit oriented toward the top.
  • the strip 30 further comprises four grip members 70 on the inside layer 61.
  • Grip members 70 are advantageously located close to the attachment points to the skeleton of the specific muscles or muscle groups 113a, 113b, 114a, 114b detailed above and can thus be provided for example at both ends of a given muscle or group of muscles. These attachment points correspond to key power load areas that receive and transmit load between the strips 30 and the wearer 100.
  • Grip members 70 are advantageously made of an adhesive or a tacky material able to grip on the human skin.
  • This material can be a thermoplastic elastomer or a polymer material like rubber, silicon and the like.
  • the members 70 can be applied by adhesive, stitching/sewing, heat fusion or any other suitable attachment mechanism.
  • grip members 70 can be applied by printing, such as a rubberized or a plasticized polyurethane ink that printed onto the inside of the wetsuit.
  • Other print products can be employed such as silicon print.
  • the rubber foam 61 constituting the strip 30 might be directly in contact with the wearer 100 skin and be able to grip said skin.
  • the inside surface of the rubber foam 61 can be treated, melted or patterned in order to increase the gripping properties.
  • grips members 70 can be located at the junction 40 between the panels 20 and strips 30 and can participate in the junctions 40.
  • Figure 8 shows a back view of the wetsuit 10 when the wetsuit 10 is turned inside out, thus revealing the inside of the wetsuit 10 according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • the inside layers of panels and strips 51, 60 can be seen together with several grip members 70 located in the vicinity of the attachment points to the skeleton, of ends, of specific muscles 113a, 113b, 114a, 114b as stated above.
  • first panels 20, second panels 30 and their arrangement which are shown on Figure 1 to 8 are examples only of the type of panels, strips and arrangements that can be employed.
  • wetsuits according to the invention can be customized to be adapted to specific water sports or to provide personalized characteristics.
  • second panels or strips 30 could be provided by extended 2D panels of the same material.
  • the specific manufacture of juxtaposing high stretch panels and low stretch panels stimulating the muscular relaxation velocity of the wearer could be of use for fit-garments other than wet suits.
  • fit-garment could be made out of any suitable material and while the material can be inelastic and tight fitting, elastic material are preferred.
