Abstract
Disclosed are garments with selective wire management systems, as well as ports for adapting garments without selective wire management systems. Garments for wire management may include one or more ports which define an aperture through which headphone wire is passed. The ports provide both support to the headphone wire as well as to the garment, thereby preventing tearing of the garment more than is necessary to accommodate the wire. Further, ports may be selectively placed on a garment, as desired, to provide optimal entrance and exit placement of headphone wire. In addition to the ports, a channel may connect the ports, thereby selectively routing the wire along the garment.
Claims16
A shirt for ergonomically routing wires therethrough, the shirt comprising:
- an interior surface defining a first aperture, a second aperture, and a third aperture, the first aperture and the second aperture being contained within a first membrane defining a first channel, and the third aperture being coupled to a second membrane defining a second channel, the second membrane disposed along the interior surface of the shirt, wherein the second channel intersects the first channel at a first intersection to permit translation of a wire from the third aperture through the second channel and a portion of the first channel to either of the first or second aperture, wherein the third aperture is disposed between the first aperture and the second aperture;
- and
- an exterior surface opposed to the interior surface;
- wherein each of the first and second apertures are further defined by a first folded portion and a second folded portion of the interior surface, respectively, the first and second folded portions are coupled to a first unfolded portion and a second unfolded portion of the interior surface, respectively, thereby forming a single-welt about an edge of each of the first and second apertures along the interior surface.
A shirt for ergonomically routing wires therethrough, the shirt comprising:
- an interior surface defining a first aperture, a second aperture, and a third aperture, each of the first, second, and third apertures are defined by a first folded portion, a second folded portion, and a third folded portion, respectively, of the interior surface, the first and second folded portions are coupled to a first unfolded portion, a second unfolded portion, and a third unfolded portion of the interior surface, respectively, thereby forming a single-welt about an edge of each of the first, second, and third apertures along the interior surface;
- wherein the first aperture and the second aperture are coupled to a first membrane defining a first channel that is horizontally disposed along an upper portion of the interior surface, the first and second apertures coupled to opposite ends of the first channel;
- and
- wherein the third aperture is coupled to a second membrane defining a second channel vertically disposed along the interior surface, the third aperture coupled to a bottom end of the second channel, and a top end of the second channel intersects the first channel at a first intersection to enable translation of a wire from the third aperture through the second channel and a portion of the first channel to either of the first or second apertures;
- and
- an exterior surface opposed to the interior surface.
