The present invention relates to a garment for the torso or the upper part of the body, such as a bustier bra, top, T-shirt, body wrap, body suit, bathing suit or the like, consisting of seamless circular-knit cotton or circular-knit polyamide (microfiber yarn) with a component of elastane fiber, whereby the garment has zones of variable elasticity.
From DE-U-202 08 043, for example, a body-massage fabric is known which is seamless circular-knit as knitwear of synthetic fiber with a component consisting of an elastic yarn. The fabric is of bi-elastic design and has lifting or shaping characteristics due to the variable elasticity.
The object of the present invention is to provide garments with special lifting or shaping characteristics which in addition will provide an especially pleasant wearing sensation.
This object is achieved by means of the characterizing part of claim 1. Further developments and advantageous embodiments of the invention are contained in the sub-claims.
According to the invention, a garment for the torso or the upper part of the body, such as a bustier bra, top, T-shirt, body suit or the like, consisting of seamless circular-knit cotton or circular-knit polyamide (microfiber yarn) with a component of elastane, whereby the garment has zones of variable compression, is characterized in that strong compression zones providing greater support are knitted into the garment, and two lamellar support tapes of high compression extend crosswise over the back, and that this can also be achieved by using a stronger yarn, i.e. a higher titer.
According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, in a women's garment another lamellar compression zone extends below the breast, lifting and shaping it, whereby said lamellar compression zone merges into the lower ends of the crosswise compression zones of the back.
According to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, another lamellar compression zone is arranged circumferentially around the body at the level of the cervical spine and/or the lumbar spine.
According to yet another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the compression zone for the abdominal region extends between the lamellar compression zone in the region of the lumbar spine and the lamellar compression zone, which is arranged below the breast to give it a lift.
In the garment according to the invention, zones of variable transparency and support effect can be provided which may contain information such as size, material composition and/or laundry instructions, which are preferably knitted and integrated into the trim of the material; it can be provided with soft, wide and non-incisive trim sections, it can be provided with a yarn with antibacterial effect, it can be breathable, sweat-absorbing and/or quick-drying, and it may have micromassage naps. It is bi-elastic and form-fitting.
Also according to the invention is a garment for the lower body such as panties, skirt, leggings, underpants, panty hose or the like, made of seamless circular-knit cotton or polyamide yarn (microfiber yarn) with a component of elastane, whereby the garment is provided with zones of variable elasticity, characterized in that strong compression zones and/or support tapes providing a high degree of support are knitted into the garment, that such compression zones are arranged in the abdominal, pelvic and/or thigh region, which can slim the problem zones, and that at least in part, several compression zones of variable elasticity gradually join each other. This can be accomplished by using a stronger yarn, i.e. a higher titer.
According to a special embodiment of the invention, the buttock areas are at least partly surrounded by such supporting compression zones, while they themselves represent zones of low compression, which allows the modelling of the buttock areas. According to an advantageous embodiment, the buttock areas are completely surrounded by such supporting compression zones. According to a special embodiment of the invention, the zones of lower compression in the buttock areas are slightly transparent.
According to another special embodiment of the invention, a circular-knit corset belt is provided with strips of higher compression which extend at least partly in a diamond pattern, border on zones of lower compression in the abdominal and/or buttock region and include zones of medium compression (3) in the pelvic region.
The garment according to the invention can have zones of variable transparency and support effect which may contain particulars such as size, material composition and/or laundry instructions, which are preferably knitted and integrated into the trim of the material; it can be provided with soft, wide and non-incisive trim sections, it can be provided with a yarn with antibacterial action, it can be breathable, sweat-absorbing and/or quick-drying, and it may have micromassage naps. It is bi-elastic and form-fitting.
By means of practical examples, the invention is described in detail below with reference to the drawings, where
This arrangement has an uplifting and unburdening effect on the upper torso. In the shown in
Of course, the embodiments shown can be combined with each other and can supplement each other. For example, the upper part of
