  • Publication number: 20240058177
    Abstract: A chip sleeve garment including an outer layer of fabric connected to an inner layer of fabric to form a sleeve with a space between the outer layer of fabric and the inner layer of fabric. Foam chips, flat foam, or foam with ridges are disposed in the space between the outer layer of fabric and the inner layer of fabric. The garment includes two ends, including at least one open end, and a notch in at least one open end having an opening. The notch can be separated to create a larger opening than the opening to allow the garment to be donned or doffed easier than the opening allows. A second garment can be disposed over the chip sleeve garment. Either the chip sleeve garment, the second garment, or both can be compression garments.

  • Publication number: 20230133202
    Abstract: An electronic tape measure for measuring a body part includes a housing having a tape outlet opening, a tape drum rotatably mounted in the housing around an axis of rotation, and a tape having length markings attached with an inner end to the tape drum, windable thereon and extendable out of the tape outlet opening. The axis of rotation defines an axial, a radial and an azimuthal direction. Furthermore, the tape measure comprises the following modules: a read-out module adapted to read out the markings; a data processing module connected to the read-out module and adapted to provide a measuring instruction to the user and to process a readout length measurement; an input module connected to the data processing module and adapted to receive input from the user; and a display module connected to the data processing module and adapted to display the measurement instruction and arranged on the housing in a radial-azimuthal plane, wherein the display module comprises a screen.

  • Patent number: 11351066
    Abstract: A compression garment includes a spacer fabric part (1) with an inner layer (2) and an outer layer. The compression garment further includes a closing part (4) with at least one macroscopic hook (5). If a user dons the compression garment, the spacer fabric part (1) and/or the closing part (4) has to be stretched to generate the compression force and the stretching is maintained by attaching the closing part (4) to the spacer fabric part (1) by hooking the at least one macroscopic hook (5) into the mesh of the outer layer of the spacer fabric part (1).
