Abstract
Description
- This patent application claims priority to U.S. Provisional application 60/524,998, filed Nov. 24, 2003, titled the same, incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention is related to garment having air ventilation openings and, more particularly, to a garment having air ventilation openings with an opening biased tending to open the air ventilation openings to facilitate increased air circulation.
- Outerwear garments typically have openings such as vents, pockets, and access openings that may be opened or closed. A vent, for example, may be opened or closed by a wearer to adjust the ventilation of the garment. In foul or cold weather, for example, the wearer may keep the vent closed to prevent wind and rain from entering the garment. In warmer weather or during strenuous exercise where the wearer's body temperature is elevated, the wearer may choose to open one or more vents to allow airflow into and out of the garment. The vents also allow moisture to escape from the interior of the garment through the vent.
- The vents are typically constructed as an opening in the garment (such as a slit) that may be selectively opened or closed with a closure mechanism. Common closure mechanisms that are used include zippers, hook and loop closures, buttons, snaps, and the like. The vents also often include a mesh panel spanning the opening forming the vent to allow air and moisture to flow through the vent but block snow, leaves and other items from entering the garment.
- When the wearer opens a vent, however, the opening forming the vent is often only a slit in the garment that is either attached such as by a zipper in a closed configuration or unattached in an open configuration. When the vent is in an open configuration, for example, the opening of the vent may be rather small if the edges of the slit are not separated from each other. The area of the vent is able to vary depending, for example, upon the motion of the wearer.
- In one attempt to solve this problem, for example, a defined vent region is provided over which a cover element such as a flap can be selectively positioned to control the effective vent area of the vent. The flap has a size and shape corresponding to the size and shape of the vent region. Thus the vent may be opened by folding the flap away from the vent region or closed by covering the vent region.
- Thus, it would be desirous to design a ventilation opening for a garment that facilitated airflow.
- The present invention provides a garment such as a jacket, pants, shorts, an anorak, a pullover or the like including an opening. The garment comprises an inner surface, an outer surface and an opening extending from the inner surface to the outer surface along at least a portion of the garment. The garment further comprises a closure mechanism for opening and closing the opening and a bias member attached to the garment for biasing the opening towards an open configuration. The closure mechanism overcomes the biasing of the bias member when the opening is in a closed configuration.

-
FIGS. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the invention in which agarment 20 comprises anopening 22, which may comprise a vent, an airflow opening, a pocket opening, a fly, or the like. Theopening 22 is shown in a closed configuration inFIG. 1 and in an open configuration inFIG. 2 . Theopening 22 comprises angap 24 formed by a slit in thegarment 20 and a closure mechanism such as thezipper 26 shown for selectably opening and closing thevent 22. Other closure mechanisms known in the art such as hook and loop closures 1000 (shown inFIG. 10 ), buttons 1100 (shown inFIG. 11 ), pressure sensitive adhesives 1200 (shown inFIG. 12 ) and the like may also be used. In the embodiment shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , for example, thezipper 26 is used to open or close theopening 22. - The opening 22 shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2 also comprises bias members elastic 28 placed adjacent thegap 24 in the garment 14. AlthoughFIGS. 1 and 2 show bias members 28 disposed on bothsides gap 24, the opening 22 may be constructed with anelastic member 28 disposed on only one side of the opening within the scope of the present invention. Also, thebias members 28 could be disposed either external or internal to the garment. Thebias members 28 are attached to the garment under tension so that they bias thesides zipper 26 is holding the opening 22 in the closed position, thebias members 28 are in tension. Whenzipper 26 is moved to the open position, as shown inFIG. 2 , first end 28 f and second end 28 s of the bias members tend to remove the tension causing the length of bias members to separate, which causesgap 24 to open. - The
bias member 28, for example, may comprise one or more elastic members disposed along or generally adjacent to one or both of thesides gap 24. Thebias members 28 may be located on the outer surface of thegarment 20, located on the inner surface of thegarment 20 or located between the outer surface and the inner surface of thegarment 20. For example, agarment 20 may comprise an inner liner and an outer liner. In such an embodiment, thebias members 28 may be disposed between the inner and outer liners. Thebias members 28 may also be disposed at least partially within a protective layer, such as a sleeve, a channel or the like. The bias member(s) 28 may also assist in inhibiting loose fabric from the garment from fouling the tines ofzipper 26. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , the closure mechanism, such as thezipper 26, overcomes the tension of thebias members 28, aligns the twosides gap 24 and thus closes thegap 24 of theopening 22. - By biasing the
sides FIG. 3 , when theopening 22 is in an open configuration, thebias members 28 cause thesides opening 22 is in a closed configuration as shown inFIG. 4 , however, the closure mechanism, such aszipper 26, overcomes the tension of thebias member 28 and closes theopening 24 along a generally flat surface of thegarment 20. - The opening 22 may also comprise a
mesh panel 42 spanning at least a portion of the opening to allow air and moisture to flow through the vent but block snow, leaves and other items from entering the garment. In this case, placing thebias members 28 internal to thezipper 26 but external to meshpanel 42 allows thebias members 28 to assist inhibit themesh panel 42 from foulingzipper 26. -
FIGS. 5 and 6 show an alternative embodiment of a vent construction for agarment 120 of the present invention in which biasmembers 128 extend outward from theopening 124. Although a plurality ofbias members 128 are shown, opening 124 could be sufficiently biased with asingle bias member 128. Although thebias members 128 shown inFIGS. 5 and 6 extend away from theopening 124 generally perpendicular to thezipper 126 of thevent 122 when thevent 122 is in a closed configuration, thebias members 128 may also extend at any other angle from thezipper 126 sufficient to bias thesides - As shown in
FIGS. 5 and 6 , thebias members 128 are attached to thegarment 120 away from thevent 122 at first ends 134 and are attached to thegarment 122 generally adjacent to or at thesides vent 122 at second ends 136 of thebias members 128. Thebias members 128 preferably comprise elastic members attached to thegarment 120 under tension. Thus, thebias members 128 bias thesides vent 122 is in an open configuration such as shown inFIG. 5 , thesides vent 122 are held apart from each other by the elastic forces imparted by thebias members 128. Because thebias members 128 are attached to the garment so that thebias members 128 are under tension when thevent 122 is in a closed configuration, as shown inFIG. 6 , the bias members still tend to pull thesides vent 122 is in a closed configuration, but the closure mechanism, such aszipper 126, overcomes the tension of thebias members 128, and aligns the twosides opening 124 and thus closes theopening 124 of thevent 122. -
FIGS. 7 and 8 show another embodiment of avent construction 222 of the present invention in which biasmembers 228 bias thesides vent 222 away from each other when thevent 222 is in an open configuration. As shown inFIG. 8 , thebias members 228 comprise resilient members attached to thegarment 220 generally adjacent to or at thesides opening 224 of thevent 222. Theresilient bias members 228 resist thesides bias members 228 are under compression. - The closure mechanism, such as
zipper 226, overcomes the resilient forces of thebias members 228, aligns the twosides opening 224 and thus closes theopening 224 of thevent 222. When the closure mechanism is opened, however, the resilient forces impacted by thebias members 228 push thesides sides vent 222 in an open configuration. - While the
bias members 228 of thevent 222 are shown extending generally perpendicular to a centerline 240 of theopening 224 of thevent 222, thebias members 228 may also be attached to thegarment 220 at any other angle from the centerline 240 of theopening 224 sufficient to bias thesides opening 224 away from each other. The resilient members may comprise, for example, springs or other known resilient members known in the art. In one embodiment, for example, a spring may be inserted into a sleeve of material and attached to thegarment 220 so that the spring is compressed when the vent is in a closed configuration and will impart a resilient force to bias thesides opening 224 apart from each other. -
FIG. 9 shows yet another embodiment of the biased opening construction of agarment 320 of the present invention. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 9 , thebias member 328 comprises acord 338 that extends along at least a portion of theopening 324 of thegarment 320. Thecord 338, for example, may pass through asleeve 342 generally adjacent to thesides opening 324 as shown inFIG. 9 . Thecord 338 may be positioned along at least a portion ofside 330,side 332 orsides 330 and 332 (as shown inFIG. 9 ). The cord may comprise an elastic or non-elastic cord. Thegarment 320 may further comprise acord lock 340 that may be used by a wearer to adjust the positioning of thecord 338 along theopening 324. - In this embodiment, a wearer may adjust the size of the
opening 324 by adjusting the position of thecord 338 in thecord lock 340. By pulling thecord 338 through thecord lock 340, a wearer may pull thesides first end 320 f and second end 320 s to move towards each other in a pinching type movement. The wearer may also adjust the size of theopening 324 by releasing thecord 338 back through thecord lock 340 and into thesleeve 342. - While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various other changes in the form and details may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
