Foundations
[001] Garments are often formed from two or more types of textiles, in addition to other elements, in order to print different properties to different areas. Examples of properties that textiles may require include resistance to abrasion and wear, air permeability, curtains, hand, moisture absorption, stretch and water resistance. Accordingly, combinations of textiles and other elements can be incorporated into the garments in order to print specific properties to the garment areas. summary
[002] An article of clothing is described below as including a pelvic region and a pair of leg regions. The pelvic region serves to cover a user's pelvic area, while the leg regions serve to cover at least part of the user's leg areas. The pelvic region includes a waistband to extend around a user's waist, and the waistband has a first layer and a second layer that are adjacent to each other. The waistband also includes a plurality of strand segments located between the first layer and the second layer. The cord segments extend at least partially around the waist, and the cord segments are substantially parallel to the surfaces of the first layer and the second layer by distances of at least five centimeters. In addition, the strand segments are joined to the first layer and the second layer over distances of at least five centimeters. The leg regions serve to cover at least part of the user's leg areas.

Detailed Description
[006] The following discussion and the attached figures describe an article of clothing 100 having a configuration of a pair of surf or beach shorts that can be used for water activities (for example, swimming, surfing, snor¬kel) . In additional configurations, clothing 100 may have the structure of other types of shorts that are used during athletic activities, including basketball shorts, cycling shorts, running shorts, football shorts, and swimming suits, for example. The concepts associated with garment 100 can also be applied to similar clothing, including skirt shorts, jeans, pants, skirts, tights or various other types of underwear. Accordingly, the concepts associated with garment 100 can be applied to a wide range of clothing styles or configurations that are used for athletic and non-athletic activities. General Device Structure
[007] With reference to figures 1 and 2, the garment 100 is presented as being worn by an individual 10. Additionally, several views of the garment 100 in the absence of the individual 10 are provided in figures 3 to 6 Clothing 100 generally includes a pelvic region 110 and a pair of leg regions 120. The pelvic region 110 has a configuration that extends substantially around and covers a pelvic area of the individual 10. Extension regions 120 extend downwardly from opposite sides of the pelvic region 110 and have a configuration that extends substantially around and covers the individual's upper leg areas 10.
[008] Most of the clothing 100 is formed from the various textile elements that are joined together by sewing, adhesives, union or thermal union, for example, to define each of the regions 110 and 120. The textile elements can ¬ must be formed from stretch textiles or non-stretch textiles. Although non-stretch textile elements can be used in clothing 100, an advantage of textile stretch elements is that parts of regions 110 and 120 will stretch or otherwise stretch to conform to the movements of individual 10a during water activities or terrestrial, thus providing less restriction and greater freedom of movement during activities. Textile elements can also be formed from woven or knitted textiles. Although the knitted textile elements can be used in clothing 100, an advantage of using the woven textile elements refers to the high durability and a low tendency of permanent deformation when subjected to tension forces (that is, when stretched). An additional advantage of the woven textile elements, which benefits clothing 100 having the configuration of surf shorts or beach shorts, is that small spaces between the threads within the woven textile elements tend to retain a small amount of water and exhibit little deformation as result of being saturated with water. In some configurations, parts of clothing 100 may also include various applications, transfers, stickers, signs, tags, eyelets, or other aesthetic or functional accessories.
[009] The pelvic region 110 includes a waistband 111 that defines a top opening from which an area of the individual's back 10 extends. With the exception of the waistband 111, most garments 100 have a loose fit configuration. That is, clothing 100 is generally structured to be spaced from individual 10a or in loose contact with individual 10 when worn, rather than in close contact with individual 10. A lace 112 extends through various openings. 113 in a front area of the waistband 111, and the lace 112 crosses between the openings 113. When clothing 100 is worn by individual 10, the lace 112 can be used in a conventional manner to adjust the circumference of the waistband 111, by pressing and loosening the waistband 111. That is, lace 112 can be tensioned and tied to secure clothing 100 to individual 10a, and lace 112 can be untied and released to assist in removing clothing 100 from individual 10. Despite the combination of lace 112 and openings 113 provide a suitable structure for adjusting the circumference of the waistband 111, alternative fasteners that can be used in other garment configurations 100 include zippers, snaps, buttons or hook type fasteners and shoulder strap.
[010] Several strand segments 114 extend through and around the waistband 111 to limit the stretch of the waistband 111. The strand segments 114 operate in conjunction with the loop 112 to tighten the waistband 111 and secure the garment 100 to individual 10. With reference to figures 3 to 6, the cord segments 114 extend outwardly from the area where the lace 112 and openings 113 are located in the front area of the waistband 111 and towards the side areas of the waistband 111. Additionally, additional strand segments 114 extend from the side areas of the waistband 111 to a rear area of the waistband 111, where these strand segments 114 intersect each other. In general, the strand segments 114 may be less stretchable than the textile elements forming the garment 100, particularly in the waistband 111. Since the strand segments 114 extend around the waistband 111, therefore, the strand segments 114 can be tensioned through the use of lace 112. That is, by placing tension on the lace 112, the cord segments 114 can also be placed in tension to tighten the waistband 111 and secure the clothing 100 to the individual 10. Therefore, the strand segments 114 form structural components in the garment 100 that resist stretching in the direction of extension around the waistband 111. First Tension Cord Element
[011] A tension cord element 130 that can be used in clothing 100 is shown in figure 7. Additionally, a smaller part of the tension cord element 130 is illustrated in figures 8 to 10b to provide additional details . The tension cord element 130 has a configuration that can form the rear area of the waistband 111. Other tension cord elements that form the front area of the waistband 111 can have a similar structure. As an alternative, some configurations of the garment 100 may include a single tension cord element, with a configuration that is similar to the tension cord element 130, which extends entirely around the garment 100 and forms the front area, the areas edges and the rear area of the waistband 111.
[012] The tension cord element 130 includes a first layer 131, a second layer 132, a pair of fasteners 133, and several cord segments 114. When incorporated into the garment 100, the first layer 131 can form a surface outer layer of the waistband 111 (that is, a surface that faces away from the individual 10) and second layer 132 can form an internal surface of the waistband 111 (that is, a surface that faces the individual 10). As an example, each of the layers 131 and 132 can be formed from textile elements, including stretch or non-stretch textile elements and woven or knitted textile elements. In addition, textile elements can be formed from a wide variety of materials including polyamide, polyester, nylon, spandex, wool, silk, cotton or combinations of these materials, for example. Although most of the clothing 100 can be formed from textile elements, one or both layers 131 and 132 can also be formed from polymer sheets or a variety of other materials.
[013] The fasteners 133 are positioned between layers 131 and 132 to (a) secure the cord segments 114 within the tension cord element 130 and (b) join the layers 131 and 132 together. Although the fasteners 133 can be continuous sheets, the fasteners 133 are shown in figure 9 as openings or definition spaces in areas between the strand segments 114. An advantage of this configuration is that the fastening elements fixation 133 are not present in areas where the cord segments 114 are absent, thus improving the breathing capacity of the waistband 111, increasing the flexibility of the waistband 111, providing a better conformation to the shape of the individual 10, and reducing the total mass of clothing 100. Although layers 131 and 132 may be attached to each other in areas where fasteners 133 are present, layers 131 and 132 may not be attached to areas where fasteners 133 are absent (this ie, the openings or spaces).
[014] The fasteners 133 can be formed as sheets of thermoplastic polymeric material, such as polyurethane, polyamide, polyester, polyolefin, or vinyl. As an example, a suitable thermoplastic polymeric material can be supplied by Bemis Associates, Inc. of Shirley, Massachusetts, United States. When heated, the thermoplastic polymeric material that forms the fastening elements 133 can melt or soften, thus infiltrating the structure of the strand segments 114 and layers 131 and 132. After cooling, the thermoplastic polymeric material hardens or solidifies to securely attach layers 131 and 132 and secure the strand segments 114. The fasteners 133 can also be replaced by an adhesive or other element that effectively the components of the tension cord element 130. Furthermore, the fasteners 133 may not be present in configurations where the strand segments 114, first layer 131 or second layer 132 incorporates a termoplastic polymeric material or other adhesive that effectively joins the components of the tension cord element 130 together.
[015] The strand segments 114 are positioned between the fasteners 133 and between the layers 131 and 132 to form a central part of the tension cord element 130. With reference to figure 7, for example, the segments Cord strands 114 are parts of an individual cord that passes repeatedly through tension cord element 130. That is, cord segments 114 are parts of a single cord within tension cord element 130. In additional configurations , the strand segments 114 may be separate elements or separate sections of a strand within the tension strand element 130. Suitable materials for strand 114 segments include various filaments, fibers, yarns, cables or strings that are formed from rayon, nylon, polyester, polyacrylic, silk, cotton, carbon, glass, aramides (eg para-aramid fibers and meta-aramid fibers), ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, liquid crystal polymer, copper, aluminum and steel. Individual strand segments 114 may include two or more terminals, and different strand segments 114 may be formed from different materials. The thicknesses of the string segments 114 can also vary significantly to vary from 0.03 millimeters to more than 5 millimeters, for example, but are generally less than two millimeters.
[016] The strand segments 114 are adjacent to the surfaces of the first layer 131, second layer 132, and fasteners 133. Furthermore, the strand segments 114 are substantially parallel to the surfaces of the first layer 131, second layer 132 and fasteners 133. As discussed above, the strand segments 114 extend around the waistband 111 to limit stretching. Being substantially parallel to the surfaces of the first layer 131, second layer 132 and fasteners 133, the strand segments 114 resist stretching in the directions corresponding to those surfaces. That is, the strand segments 114 resist stretching in the direction that extends around the waistband 111. Although the strand segments 114 may extend through one or both layers 131 and 132 in some locations (for example , as a result of the seam), the areas where the strand segments 114 extend through layers 131 and 132 may allow stretching, thus reducing the overall ability of the strand segments 114 to limit the stretch. As a result, the strand segments 114 are generally adjacent to and substantially parallel to the surfaces of the first layer 131, second layer 132, and fasteners 133 over all distances of at least five centimeters or more. That is, the strand segments 114 extend parallel to layers 131 and 132 and between layers 131 and 132 over distances of at least five centimeters or more to limit the stretch at waist 111. In many configurations, the strand segments strand 114 are also joined to layers 131 and 132 over distances of at least five centimeters to ensure that strand segments 114 remain properly positioned within tension strand element 130.
[017] Based on the above discussion, the first layer 131 and the second layer 132 are adjacent to each other and the strand segments 114 are located between the first layer 131 and the second layer 132. Although a variety of configurations are possible, the strand segments 114 may extend at least partially around the waistband 111. Furthermore, the strand segments 114 are substantially parallel to the surfaces of the first layer 131 and the second layer 132 by distances of at least five centimeters , and strand segments 114 can be joined to the first layer 131 and the second layer 132 over distances of at least five centimeters. Structural Components
[018] The cord segments 114 form structural components in the garment 100 that resist stretching around the waistband 111a. Due to the stretch resistance, the cord segments 114 have an effect on the degree to which the waistband 111 is tensioned to hold the garment 100 in the individual 10. Several factors affect the ability of the cord segments 114 to resist stretching in the waistband. 111, including (a) the properties of the strand segments 114, (b) the extent to which the strand segments 114 extend around the waistband 111, and (c) the orientation and presentation of the strand segments 114 Each of these factors will be discussed in detail below.
[019] The properties of the strand segments 114 affect the ability of the strand segments 114 to resist stretching in the waistband 111. As discussed above, the strand segments 114 can be formed from various materials and can have several thickness. By selecting materials in particular and thickness for the strand 114 segments, a specific degree of stretch can be printed on clothing 100 in waistband 111. Furthermore, the materials used for strand 114 segments can be selected based on their strengths tension stresses, modulus of elasticity, and ability to bond with fasteners 133, for example.
[020] The extent to which the strand segments 114 extend around the waistband 111 also affects the ability of the strand segments 114 to resist stretching in the waistband 111. The strand segments 114 are presented as extending on the throne substantially of the entire circumference of the waistband 111. With reference to figures 5 and 6, however, a space is presented between the cord segments 114 in the side areas of the clothing 100. That is, a space is formed between the cord segments 114 located in the front area of the garment 100 and cord segments 114 located in the rear area of the garment 100. This space between the cord segments 114 may allow some stretching in the waistband 111 when the textile stretch elements are present in the space, which can improve the comfort of the garment 100. In other configurations, however, the space between segments 114 may not exist or may be increased. Furthermore, when the non-stretch textile elements are incorporated into the waistband 111, the strand segments 114 may not be present in the areas of the non-stretch textile elements. Accordingly, the cord segments 114 may extend around substantially the entire waistband 111 or may include several spaces to print a specific degree of stretch to the garment 100 in the waistband 111.
[021] The orientations and presentation of the cord segments 114 also affect the ability of the cord segments 114 to resist stretching in the waistband 111. The cord segments 114 are presented as being angled with respect to the direction that extends in around the waistband 111. In the front area of the garment 100, for example, the cord segments 114 angled downward as they extend in the direction of the shoelace 112 and openings 113. In the back area of the garment 100, cord 114 angled downward as they extend towards a center of the rear area. The angled configurations of the strand segments 114 may allow for some stretch in the waistband 111. In comparison, the configurations where the strand segments 114 are less angled may exhibit less stretch, and the configurations in which the strand segments 114 are more angled. can allow for even greater stretching.
[022] In the formation of structural components that resist stretching around the waistband 111, cord segments 114 often operate cooperatively to resist stretching in particular directions or areas. Referring to Figure 7, a first cord group 134 and a second cord group 135 are identified. First group of strings 134 includes several segments of cord 114 that are substantially parallel to each other and extend from one side of the garment 100 towards the center of the rear area. The second strand group 135 includes several strand segments 114 that are substantially parallel to each other and extend from an opposite side of the garment 100 towards the center of the rear area. Furthermore, the first strand group 134 crosses the second strand group 135 in the center of the rear area. In general, the cord groups 134 and 135 resist stretching on opposite sides of the waistband 111. Additionally, since the cord segments 114 are substantially parallel to each other in each of the cord groups 134 and 135, the segments strand 114 operate together to resist stretching in particular directions. Manufacturing Process for First Tension Cord Element
[023] A variety of methods can be used to fabricate the tension cord element 140. With reference to figures 11 and 12, a fabrication apparatus 140 is presented as including a pressure plate 141 and a pin plate 142 The pressure plate 141 includes a compression element 143 that forms a generally flat surface towards the pin plate 142. The compression element 143 can, for example, be a polymeric foam or silicone material that compresses or otherwise. deforms when subjected to a compressive force. The pin plate 142 includes a plurality of pins 144 projecting outwardly from a surface that faces the pressure plate 141. As shown in figure 12, each of the pins 144 rests on a spring 145.
[024] Before the assembly of the tension cord element 130, the various components of the tension cord element 130 are assembled and prepared for manufacture. For example, the first layer 131, the second layer 132, and fasteners 133 are cut to the desired dimensions through die cutting, manual cutting, or laser cutting, for example. A strand of suitable length to form the strand segments 114 can also be provided. In addition, the pressure plate 141 of the manufacturing apparatus 140 can be heated to a temperature suitable for making the connection between the various components. Alternatively, both plates 141 and 142 may incorporate heating elements (for example, resistance heaters or ducts for channeling a heated fluid), or radiation heaters external to the manufacturing apparatus 140 may be used.
[025] When assembling the tension cord element 130, the second layer 132 is initially located on the pin plate 142, a as shown in figures 13a and 14a. When properly positioned, pins 144 protrude through the second layer 132 at various locations on the periphery of the second layer 132. Once the second layer 132 is positioned, one of the fasteners 133 is located on the second layer 132, as shown in figures 13b and 14b, so that pins 144 protrude through them. At this stage, the cord that forms the cord segments 114 is wrapped around a few pins 144, as shown in figures 13c and 14c, to begin the process of locating cord segments 144 with respect to the second layer 132 and pinning element 133. The cord is then wrapped around a remainder of the pins 144, as shown in figures 13d and 14d, to complete the positioning of the cord segments 114. Once the cord segments 114 are properly positioned, the other fasteners 133 are placed on the strand segments 114, as shown in figures 13e and 14e, and the first layer 131 is positioned, as shown in figures 13f and 14f.
[026] At this stage of the manufacturing process, the various components of the tension cord element 130 are properly arranged and mounted on the pin plate 142. The pressure plate 141 then moves towards the components and compresses the components, as shown in figures 13g and 14g. Downward pressure from pressure plate 141 causes pins 144 to compress springs 145 and retract into pin plate 142. Additionally, pressure plate 141 heats the components of the tension cord element 130 to secure the components together. More particularly, the heat of the pressure plate 141 raises the temperature of the fasteners 133 and melts or otherwise softens the thermoplastic polymeric material forming the fasteners 133 to form a joint that (a) holds the strand segments 114 within the tension cord element 130 and (b) joins layers 131 and 132 together. Once the joint is completed, the pressure plate 141 separates from the pin plate 142 to allow removal of the tension cord element 130, as shown in figures 13h and 14h. After cooling, the thermoplastic polymeric material of the fasteners 133 hardens or otherwise solidifies to securely hold layers 131 and 132 and secure the strand segments 114.
[027] As noted above, the compression element 143 can compress or otherwise deform when subjected to a compressive force. During the compression of the components forming the tension cord element 130, the areas of the first layer 131 which are positioned adjacent to the cord segments 114 project into the compression element 143, as shown in figure 14g. This forms a series of protuberances on the surface of the tension cord element 130 formed by the first layer 131. Conversely, the surface of the tension cord element 130 formed by the second layer 132 exhibits a generally flat configuration. An advantage of this structure is that the protrusions on the surface of the tension cord element 130 formed by the first layer 131 are visible from the outside of the garment 100, thereby improving the static appearance of the garment 100. An additional advantage of this structure is that the flat configuration of the surface of the tension cord element 130 formed by the second layer 132 faces inward and can contact the individual 10, thereby providing a relatively smooth surface that improves the comfort of the clothing 100.
[028] Although the manufacturing process discussed above provides a suitable method of producing tension cord element 130, a variety of other processes can also be used. For example, an embroidery process can be used to locate the strand segments 114 with respect to the second layer 132 and one of the fasteners 133. Once the strand segments 114 are positioned, the first cover layer 131 and the other of the fasteners 133 are positioned on the strand segments 114. A heat pressure can then join the elements together. Other sewing processes can alternatively be used to locate the strand segments 114, such as computer stitching. Second tension cord element
[029] Another tension cord element 150 that can be used in clothing 100 is shown in figure 15. Additionally, a smaller part of the tension cord element 150 is illustrated in figures 16 to 18b to provide additional details. As with the tension cord element 130, the tension cord element 150 has a configuration that can form the rear area of the waistband 111. Other tension cord elements that form the front area of the waistband 111 may have a similar structure. As an alternative, some configurations of the garment 100 may include a single tension cord element, with a configuration that is similar to the tension cord element 150, which extends entirely around the garment 100 and forms the front area, side areas , and the rear area of the waistband 111.
[030] The tension cord element 150 includes a base layer 151, a fastening element 152, a support layer 153, a cover layer 154, and several strand segments 114. A variety of materials can be used used for the various components of the tension cord element 150. As an example, however, the base layer 151 and the support layer 153 can be formed from textile elements, including any of the textile elements discussed above for the layers 131 and 132. Similarly, the fixing element 152 and the covering layer 154 can be formed from thermoplastic polymeric materials, including any of the materials discussed above for fixing the elements 133.
[031] The tension cord element 150 has a layered configuration where the base layer 151 forms a substrate on which the other components are stacked. The fastener 152 is attached to the base layer 151 and effectively joins the support layer 153 to the base layer 151. The strand segments 114 are located in the support layer 153 and joined to the support layer 153 with the layer cover 154. The parts of the cover layer 154 are therefore attached to both strand segments 114 and support layer 153.
[032] When incorporated into the garment 100, the base layer 151 can form an inner surface of the waistband 111 (i.e., a surface that is facing the individual 10) and both layers 151 and 154 can form an outer surface of the waistband 111 (that is, a surface that faces away from individual 10). Furthermore, since many thermoplastic polymeric materials can be transparent or at least partially transparent, both the strand segments 114 and support layer 153 can be visible through the covering layer 154. That is, the strand segments 114 and the support layer 153 can be visible from the outside of clothing 100. In order to improve the aesthetic appearance of clothing 100, support layer 153 can be formed from the same material that forms other areas of the pelvic region 110 and leg regions 120. That is, support layer 153 can be the same color as regions 110 and 120, and base layer 151 can be formed from a different material.
[033] The base layer 151 extends continuously across the width and length of the tension cord element 150. Although the fastener 152, the support layer 153 and the cover layer 154 can also extend continuously through the width and length of the tension cord element 150, these elements define openings or spaces in the areas between the cord segments 114. An advantage of this configuration is that the fastener 152, the support layer 153, and the cover layer 154 are not present in the areas where the cord segments 114 are absent, thereby improving the breathing capacity in the waistband 111 and reducing the overall mass of the garment 100.
[034] As discussed above, the covering layer 154 (in addition to the fixing element 152 and supporting layer 153) defines openings or spaces in the areas between the strand segments 114. The parts of the covering layer 154 define, therefore , a pair of spaced edges 155, as shown in figures 16 and 17. In this configuration, the strand segments 114 are substantially centered between the edges 155. An advantage of this configuration is that the strand segments 114 are centered within the parts of the element of tension cord 150. In addition, this configuration can improve the overall static appearance of clothing 100.
[035] The cord segments 114 are adjacent to the surfaces of the base layer 150, support layer 153 and cover layer 154. Furthermore, the cord segments 114 are substantially parallel to the surfaces of the base layer 150 , support layer 153, and cover layer 154. As discussed above, the strand segments 114 extend around the waistband 111 to limit stretching. Because they are substantially parallel to the surfaces of the base layer 150, support layer 153, and cover layer 154, the strand segments 114 resist stretching in the directions that correspond to these surfaces. That is, the strand segments 114 resist stretching in the direction that extends around the waistband 111. Although the strand segments 114 may extend through one or more of the base layer 150, support layer 153 and cover layer 154 in some locations (for example, as a result of the seam), the areas over which the strand segments 114 extend may allow stretching, thereby reducing the overall ability of the strand segments 114 to limit the stretch. As a result, the strand segments 114 are generally adjacent to and substantially parallel to the surfaces of the base layer 150, backing layer 153, and cover layer 154 over distances of at least five centimeters or more. That is, the strand segments 114 extend parallel to the base layer 150, support layer 153, and cover layer 154 and between the base layer 150, support layer 153, and cover layer 154 over all distances at least five centimeters or more to limit the stretch at waist 111. In many configurations, the strand segments 114 are also joined to layers 153 and 154 over distances of at least five centimeters to ensure that the strand segments 114 remain properly positioned within tension cord element 150.
[036] Based on the above discussion, the base layer 151 and the cover layer 154 are generally placed adjacent to each other, although both the fixing element 152 and the supporting layer 153 can extend between layers 151 and 154. In this configuration, the covering layer 154 forms a part of an outer surface of the garment 100. Additionally, the covering layer 154 defines a pair of spaced edges 155. The strand segments 114 are located between the layers 151 and 154, and the strand segments 114 extend at least partially around the waistband 111. The strand segments 114 are substantially parallel to the surfaces of layers 151 and 154 by a distance of at least five centimeters, and the strand segments 114 they are substantially centered between edges 155 over a distance of at least five centimeters.
[037] Similar to the above discussion for the tension cord element 140, the cord segments 114 form structural components in the tension element 150 that resists stretching around the waistband 111. Due to the stretch resistance, the cord segments 114 have an effect on the degree to which the waistband 111 is tensioned to secure the garment 100 to the individual 10. Several factors affect the ability of the strand segments 114 to resist stretching in the waistband 111, including (a) the properties of cord segments 114, (b) the extent to which cord segments 114 extend around waistband 111, and (c) the orientation and presentation of cord segments 114. Manufacturing Process for the Second Tension Cord Element
[038] A variety of methods can be used to manufacture the tension cord element 150. As an example, the manufacturing apparatus 140 can be used. Before the assembly of the tension cord element 150, the various components of the tension cord element 150 are assembled and prepared for manufacture. For example, the base layer 151, the fastener 152, the support layer 153, and the cover layer 154 are cut to the desired dimensions by die cutting, manual cutting, or laser cutting. A cord of the appropriate length for forming the cord segments 114 can also be provided. In addition, the pressure plate 141 of the manufacturing apparatus 140 can be heated to a suitable temperature to make the connection between the various components.
[039] When assembling the tension cord element 150, the base layer 151 is initially located on the pin plate 142, as shown in figures 19a and 20a. When properly positioned, pins 144 project through the base layer 151 at various locations on the periphery of the base layer 151. Once the base layer 151 is positioned, the fastener 152 is located on the base layer 151 , as shown in figures 19b and 20b, so that pins 144 protrude. Similarly, the support layer 153 is located on the fastener 152, as shown in figures 19c and 20c, so that the pins 144 protrude through it. At this stage, the strand forming the strand segments 114 is wrapped around some of the pins 144, as shown in figures 19d and 20d, to begin the process of locating the strand segments 144 with respect to other components. The cord is then wrapped around the rest of the pins 144, as shown in figures 19e and 20e, to complete the positioning of the cord segments 114. Once the cord segments 114 are properly positioned, the cover layer 154 is located on the strand segments 114, as shown in figures 19f and 20f.
[040] At this stage of the manufacturing process, the various components of the tension cord element 150 are properly arranged and mounted on the pin plate 142. The pressure plate 141 then moves towards the components and compresses the components, as shown in figures 19g and 20g. Downward pressure from pressure plate 141 causes pins 144 to compress springs 145 and retract into pin plate 142. In addition, pressure plate 141 heats the components of the tension cord element 150 to secure the components together. More particularly, the heat of the pressure plate 141 increases the temperature of the fastener 152 and cover layer 154 and melts or otherwise softens the thermoplastic polymeric materials that form the fastening element 152 and the cover layer 154 to join the components. As with the procedure discussed above for tension cord element 140, areas of tension cord element 150 adjacent to cord segments 114 may protrude into compression member 143. Once the joint is completed, the pressure plate 141 separates from pin plate 142 to allow removal of tension cord element 150, as shown in figures 19h and 20h. After cooling, the thermoplastic polymeric materials of the fastener 152 and cover layer 154 harden or otherwise solidify to securely join the fastening strand components and segments 114 within the tension strand element 150. Shoelace Elements
[041] A pair of shoelace elements 160, which are shown in figures 21 to 23, is located in the front area of the waistband 111 and defines the various openings 113 through which the shoelace 112 extends. The lace elements 160 include a base layer 161, a plurality of cord segments 162 and a cover layer 163. The cord forming the cord segments 162 can be sewn into the base layer 161, and the cover layer 163 is located on the strand segments 162 and joined to both the base layer 161 and the strand segments 162. The strand segments 162 are therefore located between and joined to layers 161 and 163. Layers 161 and 163 can each be formed from a variety of materials, including textile elements, polymeric sheets, and other materials.
[042] The base layer 161 and cover layer 163 correspondingly define the various openings 113. The cord forming the cord segments 162 can be sewn around the openings 113 to effectively reinforce the openings 113. The cord also extends outwardly from the openings 113 to form the various strand segments 162. In addition, the strand segments 162 cooperatively resist the stretching of the lace 112 as it extends through the openings 113. The strand segments 162 also radiate outwards from the openings 113, thus distributing the forces of the shoelace 112 to the waistband 111.
[043] A variety of methods can be used to manufacture the lace elements 160. As an example, an embroidery process can be used to locate the string segments 114 with respect to the base layer 161. Once Once the strand segments 114 are positioned, the cover layer 163 can be joined to the base layer 161 and the strand segments 114, thereby securing the strand segments 114 within each of the shoelace elements 160. In some processes, a thermoplastic material can be added to the base layer 161 prior to embroidery, and the thermoplastic material can be used to join the elements. In other processes, the thermoplastic material can be incorporated into the cover layer 163 or it can be a separate element that extends between layers 161 and 163. In additional processes, an adhesive or other method of joining elements can be used. In another process, the cover layer 163 can be formed from a sheet of thermoplastic polymeric material that covers the cord segments 162 and joins the cord segments 162 to the base layer 161. Similar processes are described with respect to footwear in the US Patent No. 7,574,818 to Meschter, which is fully incorporated herein by reference. As an alternative to an embroidery process, other sewing processes can be used to locate the cord segments 114 with respect to the base layer 161, such as computer sewing. In addition, the process similar to the manufacturing process for tension cord elements 130 and 150 can be used. Additional Settings
[044] The garment configuration 100 discussed above, in addition to the configurations of tension cord elements 130 and 150, provide examples of suitable configurations that incorporate cord segments 114 for the purpose of resisting stretching in the waistband 111. One variety of other configurations that resist stretching or print other purposes can also be used. That is, various configurations of clothing 100 and clothing elements 100 are also contemplated.
[045] Referring to figures 24a and 25a, the garment 100 is shown to have a configuration in which the cord segments 114 extend substantially horizontally around the waistband 111. That is, the cord segments 114 extend in a direction that is generally parallel to the top opening defined by the waistband 111. While the strand segments 114 in the tension strand elements 130 and 150 are angled, the strand segments 114 in these configurations extend horizontally. Although the angled strand segments 114 print sufficient stretch resistance, for example, horizontally oriented strand segments can print a greater degree of stretch resistance.
[046] As a configuration opposite to figures 24a and 25a, figure 24b shows a structure in which the strand segments 114 exhibit a wavy or non-linear configuration. As discussed above, the strand segments 114 can resist stretching in the waistband 111, but the nonlinear areas of the strand 114 segments may allow for some stretching in the waistband 111. As the strand segments 114 straighten due to the stretch, however, the strand segments 114 can then resist stretching of the waistband 111. Accordingly, this configuration prints an initial degree of stretch, but then limits the stretch once the strand segments 114 straighten.
[047] An additional configuration is shown in figure 24c, where the strand segments 114 intersect each other in the front area of the waistband 111. In addition, figure 24d shows a configuration in which an elastic material is incorporated into the front area of the waistband 111a. In this configuration, the lace 112 can extend through the waistband 111 and pass around the rear area, where any of the tension cord elements 130 or 150 can be presented. As such, the non-stretching properties of the tension cord segments 130 or 150 can be coupled to areas of the waistband 111 which exhibit relatively high degrees of stretching.
[048] Each of the configurations discussed above incorporates drawstring segments 114 in the waistband 111. Drawstring segments 114 can, however, be used in other areas of clothing 100. With reference to figure 25b, for example, the segments strand 114 extend in a generally vertical direction through parts of regions 110 and 120. In additional configurations, strand segments 114 can be located in the front area of the garment 100, they can extend horizontally across the regions of leg 120, or can have a cross configuration in any of regions 110 and 120.
[049] Aspects associated with the structure of the tension cord element 130 may also vary from the configuration discussed above. Referring to figure 26a, a single fastener 133 is positioned between layers 131 and 132 and used to (a) secure the strand segments 114 within the tension strand element 130 and (b) join layers 131 and 132 each other. Both fixing elements 133 may not be present, as shown in figure 26b, when an adhesive is used or when one of the layers 131 and 132 incorporates a thermoplastic polymeric material that is suitable for joining the elements. When manufacturing processes involving embroidery are used, the cord segments 114 can be located on opposite sides of the second layer 132, as shown in figure 26c. In some configurations, the strand segments 114 can be exposed, as shown in figure 26d, or can be embedded within the second layer 132, as shown in figure 26e.
[050] Many of the alternative configurations discussed above for tension cord element 130 can also be applied to tension cord element 150. Additionally, figure 27a shows a configuration in which tension cord element 150 includes the base layer 151, cover layer 154, and cord segments 114. The fixing element 152 and support layer 153 may therefore be absent from some configurations. The strand segments 114 can also be located between the base layer 151 and the support layer 153, as shown in figure 27b. Additionally, a configuration in which the strand segments 114 are embedded within the cover layer 154 is shown in figure 27c.
[051] The invention is described above and in the attached drawings with reference to a variety of modalities. The purpose served by the description, however, is to provide an example of various characteristics and concepts related to the invention, not to limit the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the relevant art will recognize that numerous variations and modifications can be made to the modalities described above without departing from the scope of the present invention, as defined by the appended claims.
