Patent number: 11877607Abstract: An article of apparel is described which is effective to regulate the temperature of the wearer. In an embodiment, the article of apparel includes a base textile with a thermal regulation membrane. The thermal regulation membrane contains a plurality of system-reactive components selectively engaged heat and/or moisture. In an embodiment, the printed coating includes a cooling agent, a phase change material, and a heat dissipation material. In operation, the article of apparel is effective to delay/diminish the rise in skin temperature (compared to a garment lacking the membrane), increasing wearer comfort.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2021Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: Under Armour, Inc.Inventors: Kyle Blakely, Matthew Trexler

Publication number: 20230329366Abstract: An article of apparel is formed that is effective to regulate the temperature of the wearer. In an embodiment, a thermal regulation composition is obtained comprising a binder, a cooling agent, a latent heat agent, and a heat dissipation agent. The thermal regulation composition is printed to a surface of a textile by pressing the thermal regulation composition against the textile surface such that the binder adheres the cooling agent, latent heat agent, and the heat dissipation agent to the surface of the textile, thereby forming a thermal regulation membrane, and the textile is incorporated into an article of apparel.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Kyle Blakely, Matthew Trexler

Publication number: 20230320438Abstract: A garment includes a first material layer including a first surface, a second material layer laminated to the first material layer, where the second material layer includes a second surface, and a laminate material disposed in a non-continuous manner between the first and second surfaces of the first and second material layers. An amount of laminate material disposed between the first and second material layers varies at different zones defined along the first surface of the first material layer. The laminate material can be applied via a dot lamination process so as to form an array of laminate dots that varies by one or more of spacing between laminate dots, dimensions of laminate dots and shapes of laminate dots at the different zones.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Kyle Blakely, Katarzyna Schoewe

Patent number: 11712071Abstract: An article of apparel is formed that is effective to regulate the temperature of the wearer. In an embodiment, a thermal regulation composition is applied to a surface of a textile substrate at a first temperature and a first pressure to form a thermal regulation membrane disposed on the surface of the textile substrate. The textile substrate with the thermal regulation membrane is compressed at a second pressure and a second temperature to position a portion of the thermal regulation membrane below the surface of the textile substrate. The textile substrate is incorporated into an article of apparel. The thermal regulation composition can include one or more system reactive components provided within a binder, where a system reactive components can include a cooling agent, a latent heat agent and/or a heat dissipation agent.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Under Armour, Inc.Inventors: Kyle Blakely, Matthew Trexler
