  • Patent number: 12004580
    Abstract: A garment is provided which includes a flat-warp-knitted fabric laminate made of at least one flat-warp-knitted fabric. The flat-warp-knitted fabric includes a polyurethane film which is stretchable in substantially all directions. A knit fabric made of fleecy thread may be adhesively bonded to the film and be positioned between the film and the inner lining. The garment can be made up of five tailored flat-warp-knitted laminate pieces: three flat-warp-knitted laminate pieces for the two front sides and the rear side of the torso, and two flat-warp-knitted laminate pieces for the two sleeves. The seams form the two sleeve cuffs, and the seams are sewn onto the flat-warp-knitted laminate pieces for the torso. The front pieces are sewn together, and the rear side of the torso piece is positioned along the side of the torso by a respective seam. The seams are used to connect these parts along the shoulders.

  • Patent number: 11925224
    Abstract: The sports jacket comprises at least one a closable vent (2) in the forearm region (1) of each sleeve on that side which is determined to lie adjacent to the inner side of the forearm. The vents (2) are each equipped with a zipper. Inside the vents an opening is provided in the lining (7) of the sleeve covered with an air-permeable textile fabric (4). The opening may be framed by a spring-loaded ring profile, which keeps the opening open in its relaxed state and forces it into a slit by way of closing the zipper. Alternatively, said opening is framed by a straight, spring-loaded profile which keeps the opening closed in its relaxed state. By means of twisting a turn-lock fastener (5) with pulling cables, the top ends of said profile are being brought closer together to its bottom ends against the spring force, thus spanning the enframed opening.
