Abstract: A cladding part has a carrier part and a surface covering, which is arranged on a side of the carrier part that faces the surface covering. The surface covering is made of an intrinsically stiff knitted-fabric material.

Abstract: A device for thermosetting a knitted fabric includes a first tool half and a second tool half. The first tool half and the second tool half in a closed position enclose a cavity in which the knitted fabric is receivable. Each of the first tool half and the second tool half have a respective shape-imparting effective surface by way of which an external form of the knitted fabric is determinable. The device further includes a heating installation where thermal energy is introducible into the knitted fabric via the heating installation.

Abstract: A garment with a main fastening device and a supplementary fastening device, the main fastening device being designed for detachably joining opposing edges of two garment pieces made up of garment material and having two main fastening sides which can be joined to each other in a detachable way and which sides are each joined to one of the two garment edges, at least one of the two main fastening sides being joined to the respective garment edges by means of a ventilating material forming a ventilating means, by means of which the inner side of the garment is accessible to ventilating air even when the main fastening device is closed, and the supplementary fastening device being designed as a covering strip, which is movable in relation to the main fastening device between a closed position, in which it covers at least part of the ventilating material, and an open position, in which it exposes at least part of the ventilating material.

Abstract: The invention is to footwear with a rigid protective cap in the toe area between the leg (S) and the porous connection material (V) on the one hand and the lining (L) on the other hand and whose underside goes under the insole (B) over a predetermined width. The porous connection material (V) is connected to the circumference of the insole (B) by an adhesive connection (KN) at its end facing away from the actual leg material (S), at least in the toe area. The footwear can be produced in a simple and inexpensive way.

Abstract: Footwear includes a shaft and a laminate which lines the shaft. The laminate has a waterproof, water vapor permeable functional layer, a rigid protective cap is between the shaft and the laminate. In the toe area, the laminate is designed as a bootie. An insole which serves as a mechanical protection between the laminate and the protective cap is located between the outsole side of the bootie and an outsole side edge of the protective cap.

Abstract: A collar connection device is provided for use with a garment having a double-layer collar, the device having a first functional layer strip connected to sections of the garment by openable closures and a second functional layer strip also connected to sections of the garment by additional openable closures and where the two functional layer strips are attached in a line by a waterproof adhesive seam.

Abstract: A waterproof connection device is provided for use with a garment having optionally many detachable liners including a functional layer insert having a water vapor permeable functional layer.
