Abstract

The invention relates to a neoprene chamber which is formed by a unique inner structure, which is intended for use in the neoprene industry involved in the production of sports clothing and which enables sweat to be absorbed, insulated, channelled, ventilated and released by means of gravity and subsequent evaporation. The above-mentioned inner structure of the chamber is based on perforated vertical partitions which are externally insulated and which channel the sweat produced. The invention solves the following problems: (i) the chamber prevents sweat from being in constant contact with the garment, thereby facilitating the rapid release of same; (ii) the chamber prevents the outer neoprene from becoming damp, thereby prolonging the action of the heat effect; (iii) the chamber enables the prolonged use of the garment; and (iv) the chamber physiologically facilitates the removal of sweat, as well as the activation of the adipose fabric owing to the prolonged action thereof on the epidermis and dermis under the heat effect, thereby generating a reduction in same.

Description

VENTILATED AND ISOLATED NEOPRENE CHAMBER TO CHANNEL 5.- AND ELIMINATE BODY SWEAT

SECTOR OF THE TECHNIQUE.

The invention falls within the industrial sector of the manufacture of garments 10.- common Neoprene for sports use.

STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE.

Currently, within the common manufacture of Neoprene garments applied

15.- to sports use, the elimination of body fat and sweat has acquired a special relevance.

One of the most studied aspects, within the process of manufacturing these garments and their offer and marketing is the suitability of them to quickly eliminate body sweat thanks to the increase in heat

20.- that said garments produce in the applied area due mainly to the cellular composition of the C4H5CL neoprene that is obtained from 2.- Chlorobutadiene, said artificial chemical substance is substitute for rubber. There are therefore specific garments within the sector whose objective is to promote the elimination of body sweat, such as neoprene belts and

25.- sports pants, for example.

Said garments in general eliminate sweat due to its direct ability to absorb moisture for evaporation through

The outer layer of the tissue by the action of the air.

This does not prevent the body from having contact with moisture, it does not

30.- obtains a total isolation of the skin with the garment and also,

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26)

there is an unpleasant wetting sticky 5.- and annoying of the garment in its entirety. It also reduces the heat function for which it is designed by reducing the thermal effect when impregnated with body sweat and not completely eliminated by evaporation; consequently, the garment is cooled, resulting in a decrease in the temperature it generates and not 10.- thus achieving, fully, the initially designed objective.

There are no Neoprene garments with built-in Chamber that drain the sweat before reaching the cell walls of the same and avoid the flooding of the first commercial synthetic rubber. So far the state of the art we know. fifteen.-

TECHNICAL PROBLEM PROPOSED.

It would therefore be desirable to obtain a garment made of Neoprene, an existing element, that incorporates a previous independent chamber, in contact

20.- with skin, constructed asimisma, also in the same material and having the same thickness as the garment outside, ie 0 ^'5 mm. Said chamber is an invention of industrial application that allows draining and channeling body sweat outwards by gravity, keeping the exterior Neoprene dry and therefore not reducing its capacity.

25.- calorific allowing a longer use of the garment.

For this, the present invention focuses on the existence of an insulating Neoprene chamber that prevents on the one hand the return of sweat to the skin, channels it and expels at the same time preventing its absorption by the outer layer of Neoprene .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION AND TECHNICAL ADVANTAGE

5.- THAT CONTRIBUTES THE INVENTION.

The present invention relates to a new system that facilitates the elimination of body sweat through a ventilated and insulated neoprene chamber, which is attached to the common neoprene for sports use. The new system incorporates a unique and exclusive interior structure, formed

10.- based on perforated neoprene partitions with openings of uniform size and distribution thereof, which allows horizontal, vertical and continuous horizon ventilation inside.

Also the vertical distribution of such separate partitions each other each 0 ^'5 mm configure itself into a continuous pipeline

15.- the exterior and lower part of the sportswear, facilitating the elimination of sweat by gravity and generating a vertical circulation of air inside the chamber.

This structure is covered in its contact with the skin (inner face) with a microporous protective fabric that allows the entrance to the chamber

20.- of the product of the perspiration but it DOES NOT allow its return by osmosis so that the humidity relative to the contact of the chamber with the body is reduced to the sweat emitted at each moment, facilitating its elimination through said chamber. The same structure of the chamber is covered by its face more

25.- exterior by an impermeable fabric that separates and completely isolates said chamber from the outer neoprene layer. Physiologically it favors the elimination of sweat and physically the heat effect of the sports neoprene is not reduced by not being flooded by the sweat action. This exclusive condition constitutes a clear advantage over the

30.- existing prior techniques that focus on evaporation with

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26)

greater or lesser achievement of sweat but do not propose a reconduction of it,

5.- drainage, ventilation, isolation and subsequent elimination by gravity and evaporation, in short, a logical process that improves any pre-existing worldwide technique in that sector, which will be a Spanish invention since the previous models, including the one that incorporates technotitanium to improve, by very thin metal coatings s

10.- The neoprene foam in an effort to reduce the loss of heat by radiation and which are not comparable to the definitive creation of a previous independent chamber, are inventions of origin in the USA, Germany, France, Russia, Japan and Ireland, manufacturers of neoprene for sport use by means of cellular neoprene of diving suits, Surf and garments

15.- * reducing or protective. Nordic countries that monopolize their worldwide marketing.

On the other hand, its application to the industrial sector and its implementation through expert manufacturers entails the simple exposure of the technical detail of the chamber, its detailed specification of thicknesses and arrangement

20.- Since it is manufactured with an existing product that is neoprene. The sewing or joining by welding or pressure of the aforementioned outer and inner fabrics and their adhesion to the outer neoprene layer, in the form of continuous fabric prepared to make sportswear, is a simple process of elaboration and termination.

25.-

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) MODE OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION. 5.- The present invention is further illustrated by the following example, which is not intended to limit its scope:

Example:

1.- Realization of the industrial technical detail through drawings and drawings with specification of thicknesses, diameters, shapes, arrangements and 10.- elements for the construction that incorporates neoprene, Nylon and waterproof fabric.

2.-Sample manufacturing order for approval.

3.- Manufacture of continuous fabric in rolls for later application to the manufacture of sportswear. 15.- 4.- _^ Manufacture and manufacture of sportswear based on the incorporation of said exclusive insulating chamber to eliminate sweat through Drainage,

Ventilation, Channeling and Evacuation by gravity and evaporation.

The ventilated and insulated Neoprene chamber to channel and eliminate body sweat incorporates and a fabric that externally covers the chamber with its inner face more attached to the skin (4). Said fabric will allow the entry of sweat but not its return to the skin.

10.- Attached to said fabric is the inner neoprene chamber

(3) with perforated vertical partitions with uniform size and distribution openings that ventilate it.

For its outermost part, it joins a sheet (2) of impermeable fabric that separates the chamber from the outer neoprene (1). To finish the set
