Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a garment, especially to a sports garment, which includes a region which is in contact with a wearer during intended use. The region includes at least one material layer. To allow an improved ventilation at those locations where the same is really needed the present disclosure proposes that the region has at least one receiving space in which microorganisms are placed, and the microorganisms are selected to corrode at least a portion of the material layer under certain conditions.
Claims20
A garment, comprising a region which is in contact with a wearer during intended use, wherein the region comprises at least one material layer comprising polyethylene terephthalate and/or polyurethane,
- wherein the region has a plurality of receiving spaces arranged along an inner side of the material layer and formed by a plurality of single chambers in which microorganisms are placed,
- wherein the single chambers are separated from one another by a wall structure,
- wherein the wall structure is closed by a cover on a first side thereof, which is in contact with the wearer during intended use, the material layer being arranged on a second side of the wall structure, opposite the first side, the wall structure contacting the material layer,
- wherein, in addition to the microorganisms, a gelatinous media is arranged in the plurality of receiving spaces,
- wherein the microorganisms are selected to corrode at least a corrodible portion of the material layer when heat and/or sweat is applied by the wearer during the intended use of the garment, and
- wherein, before a first use of the garment, the corrodible portion of the material layer is configured to extend across two or more of the single chambers.
A garment, the garment comprising:
- an inner layer;
- and
- an outer layer covering the inner layer;
- wherein the outer layer comprises at least one material comprising polyethylene terephthalate and/or polyurethane,
- wherein the inner layer includes a plurality of receiving spaces arranged at an inner side of the outer layer and formed by a plurality of single chambers in which microorganisms are placed,
- wherein the single chambers are separated from one another by a wall structure arranged along the inner side of the outer layer,
- wherein the wall structures contact the inner side of the outer layer,
- wherein the single chambers are closed by a cover which is in contact with a wearer during intended use,
- wherein in addition to the microorganisms a gelatinous media is arranged in the plurality of receiving spaces,
- wherein the microorganisms are selected to corrode at least a corrodible portion of the outer layer when heat and/or sweat is applied by the wearer during the intended use of the garment, and
- wherein, before a first use of the garment, the corrodible portion of the outer layer is configured to extend across two or more of the single chambers.
