Abstract

An undergarment for women, especially a brassiere, panties, etc, comprises a textile layer reinforcement along its free edges. The reinforcements (16, 18, 20) are produced by adhering the textile material to the base material, using pressure and/or heat.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Unterbekleidungsstücks, insbesondere eines Damenunterbekleidungsstücks wie Büstenhalter, Slip, Einteiler oder dergleichen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 sowie ein nach diesem Verfahren hergestelltes Unterbekleidungsstück..The invention relates to a method for producing an undergarment, especially a piece of underwear for women such as bras, panties, One piece or the like according to the preamble of claim 1 and an undergarment made by this process.

Unterbekleidungsstücke bestehen herkömmlich aus einer Mehrzahl unterschiedlicher Zuschnitte aus textilem Material, meist einer zumindest in einer Richtung elastischen Wirkware. Die Zuschnitte bedürfen zu ihrer Zusammensetzung einer Vielzahl von Arbeitsschritten, die zeit- und lohnaufwendig sind und sich einer rationellen industriellen Arbeitsweise vielfach entziehen; dies gilt insbesondere für Verbindungsnähte. Diese erfordern nicht nur einen sich an den Verbindungsstellen entlangziehenden, somit zeitaufwendigen Nähvorgang, sondern auch den Einsatz eines Verbindungsmediums, nämlich eines Nähfadens. Nähte können außerdem auch Druckstellen verursachen und stellen bei elastischen Materialien oft Beeinträchtigungen des elastischen Verhaltens dar. Dadurch leidet die Anpassungsfähigkeit des betreffenden Bekleidungsstücks an die jeweilige Körperform, vor allem wenn sich durch Bewegungen fortlaufend Formänderungen am menschlichen Körper ergeben, denen das Bekleidungsstück folgen soll.Underwear items traditionally consist of a plurality different cuts of textile material, usually one at least in one Towards elastic knitted fabrics. The cuts require their Composition of a variety of work steps that are time and wage consuming are and often evade rational industrial working methods; this applies particularly to connecting seams. These do not only require one yourself time-consuming sewing process along the connection points, but also the use of a connecting medium, namely a sewing thread. Seams can also cause pressure marks and provide elastic materials often impair the elastic behavior. As a result, the adaptability of the item of clothing in question suffers the particular body shape, especially when moving continuously Form changes to the human body result in the clothing should follow.

Abgesehen von der Verbindung der einzelnen Zuschnitte miteinander ist es bei solchen Bekleidungsstücken notwendig, die freien Ränder der Zuschnitte zu befestigen und diese zugleich in ihrer Elastizität zu verstärken, d.h. die Dehnfähigkeit herabzusetzen. Dies erfolgt in der Regel durch Aufnähen von meist elastischen Einfass- oder Besatzbändern, was im Hinblick auf die vorgegebene Dehnfähigkeit sowohl des Grundmaterials der Unterbekleidungsstücke, als auch der Einfass- oder Besatzbänder mittels Zick-Zack-Nähten zu erfolgen hat.Apart from the connection of the individual blanks with each other, it is at such clothing necessary to free the edges of the blanks fasten and at the same time reinforce their elasticity, i.e. the To reduce elasticity. This is usually done by sewing on mostly elastic edging or trimmings, what with regard to the given Elasticity of both the base material of the undergarments, as well the binding or trimmings must be made using zigzag seams.

Um eine Beeinträchtigung der Dehnbarkeit elastischer Materialien durch Säume oder Nähte unter Verwendung von Nähfäden zu vermeiden, ist es bei Unterbekleidungsstücken aus Kunstfasern auch bekannt geworden, solche Säume oder Nähte durch Punktschweißung zu erzeugen (FR 2 255 023). Da die Materialien dabei nur an einzelnen Punkten durch Schweißung miteinander verbunden werden, wird die Dehnbarkeit des Grundmaterials nur in geringem Umfang beeinflusst.To impair the elasticity of elastic materials through hems or to avoid seams using sewing threads, it is at Underwear made of synthetic fibers has also become known, such hems or to produce seams by spot welding (FR 2 255 023). Since the Materials are only welded together at individual points are connected, the elasticity of the base material is only slight Scope affects.

Zum Anbringen solcher Randverstärkungen sind in jedem Fall Arbeitsgänge erforderlich, bei denen, um das betreffende Band aufzubringen und eine Verbindungsnaht zu erzeugen, Werkzeuge wie zum Beispiel Nähwerkzeuge, Schweißwerkzeuge oder dergleichen entlang der zu verstärkenden Ränder bewegt bzw. die am jeweiligen Rand zu verstärkenden Teile relativ zu den Werkzeugen bewegt werden müssen; dies erfordert einen beträchtlichen Zeitaufwand.In any case, operations are required to attach such edge reinforcements required to apply the tape in question and one To produce a seam, tools such as sewing tools, Welding tools or the like along the edges to be reinforced moves or the parts to be reinforced at the respective edge relative to the Tools must be moved; this requires a considerable amount Time.

Dies gilt für Unterbekleidungsstücke generell, und zwar sowohl für Damenunterbekleidungsstücke, wie Schlüpfer, Miederhosen, Unterhemden, als auch für entsprechende Herrenunterbekleidungsstücke, ganz besonders jedoch für Büstenhalter. Büstenhalter sind Unterbekleidungsstücke, die im Hinblick auf ihre Bestimmung zur Bedeckung, Stützung und Formung der weiblichen Brust in vielen verschiedenen Größen und Formen hergestellt und vorrätig gehalten werden müssen. Durch ihre, dieser Bestimmung angepasste räumliche Form bedingt, bestehen sie herkömmlich aus einer Mehrzahl unterschiedlicher Teile aus textilem Material, wie Seitenteile, Büstenkörbchen, Trägerbänder, Einfass- oder Besatzbänder, Rückenverschluss usw. Vor allem diese Teile bedürfen zu ihrer Zusammensetzung einer Vielzahl von Arbeitsschritten, die zeit- und lohnaufwendig sind und sich einer rationellen industriellen Arbeitsweise weitgehend entziehen.This applies to undergarments in general, both for Women's underwear, such as panties, panty girdles, undershirts, as also for corresponding men's underwear, but especially so for bras. Bras are undergarments that are made with regard to their purpose for covering, supporting and shaping the female breast in manufactured in many different sizes and shapes and kept in stock Need to become. Because of their spatial shape, adapted to this provision conditionally, they traditionally consist of a plurality of different parts textile material, such as side panels, bust cups, carrier tapes, edging or Trim straps, back closure, etc. These parts in particular need their Composition of a variety of work steps that are time and wage consuming are and largely elude rational industrial working methods.

In diesem Zusammenhang ist ein Büstenhalter bekannt geworden, der unter Vermeidung jeglicher Näharbeiten, also ohne Nähfäden oder ähnliche Verbindungsmittel, hergestellt werden kann, bei dem nur punktuell, also durch Pressen, Schweißen oder dergleichen Hubbewegungen erfolgende Arbeitsgänge zur Verbindung der einzelnen Teile bzw. zur Konfektionierung erforderlich sind (EP 0 809 945 A2). Dies wird dadurch erreicht, dass sowohl das Grundmaterial, als auch partielle Verstärkungsteile aus einem textilen, zumindest teilweise thermoplastisch verschmelzbare Fasern enthaltenden Material bestehen.In this context, a bra has become known, the under Avoidance of any sewing work, i.e. without sewing threads or similar Lanyard, can be produced in which only selectively, i.e. by Pressing, welding or similar lifting operations are required to connect the individual parts or for assembly (EP 0 809 945 A2). This is achieved in that both the basic material, as well as partial reinforcement parts from a textile, at least partially material consisting of thermoplastic fusible fibers.

Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Unterbekleidungsstück, insbesondere ein Damenunterbekleidungsstück, mit Randverstärkungen in guter Passform und mit hohem Tragekomfort einfacher und wirtschaftlicher herstellen zu können als bisher.Against this background, the invention is based on the object Underwear, in particular a women's underwear, with Edge reinforcements in a good fit and with high wearing comfort easier and To be able to manufacture more economically than before.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe durch ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Unterbekleidungsstücks mit den im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a manufacturing method an undergarment with the features specified in claim 1 solved.

Anspruch 2 gibt ein nach diesem Verfahren hergestelltes Unterbekleidungsstück an.Claim 2 gives an undergarment produced by this method on.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous further developments result from the subclaims.

Der wesentliche Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, die Herstellungsweise eines mit Randverstärkungen versehenen Unterbekleidungsstücks beträchtlich vereinfacht zu haben. Dabei können durch diese Randverstärkungen zugleich offene Schnittkanten der Zuschnitte gesichert werden, und zwar im einfachsten Fall durch Umschlagen der Randbereiche der Zuschnitte selbst oder durch Aufbringen eines Einfassbandes, gegebenenfalls auch auf den umgeschlagenen Rand sowie durch ein gefaltetes Besatzband. In jedem Fall können die Verstärkungen im Wege einfacher maschineller Arbeitsvorgänge aufgebracht und mit dem Grundmaterial des Unterbekleidungsstücks verbunden werden, ohne dass es sich entlang der zu verstärkenden Ränder entlangbewegender Arbeitsvorgänge, wie z.B. eines Nähvorganges, bedarf.The main advantage of the invention is the method of manufacture underwear with edge reinforcements considerable to have simplified. You can use these edge reinforcements at the same time open cut edges of the blanks are secured, in the simplest Fall by turning over the edge areas of the blanks themselves or by Applying a binding tape, possibly also on the folded one Edge as well as by a folded ribbon. In any case, the Reinforcements applied by means of simple mechanical work processes and can be connected to the base material of the undergarment without that it's moving along the edges to be reinforced Operations such as a sewing process.

Das in die Materialien der Zuschnitte bzw. Verstärkungsteile integrierte bzw. auf deren Oberfläche aufgebrachte Material sorgt an den Berührungsflächen für eine vollflächige Befestigung zwischen den Teilen. Dehnungen und Verformungen des fertigen Bekleidungsstücks werden durch die Verbindung nicht beeinträchtigt, weil jede Verformung im Bereich des Randes auf das Bekleidungsstück übertragen wird und umgekehrt. Die vollflächige Verbindung bewirkt auch eine besonders gute Armierung des Randbereichs des Bekleidungsstücks, weshalb die Stabilität beispielsweise eines so gefertigten Büstenhalters einwandfrei ist. Diese Armierung verhindert auch ein Ausfransen des Bekleidungsstücks, weil die Verbindung auch die Fadenstruktur der Zuschnittteile selbst zusammenhält. Die so erzielte Verbindung ist weich; sie verursacht keine Druckstellen beim Tragen und trägt nicht auf.The integrated or on the materials of the blanks or reinforcing parts the surface of the material applied ensures a contact at the contact surfaces full-surface fastening between the parts. Strains and deformations of the finished garment are not affected by the connection because transfer any deformation in the area of the edge to the item of clothing and vice versa. The full-surface connection also creates a special good reinforcement of the edge area of the garment, which is why the stability for example, a bra made in this way is flawless. This reinforcement also prevents fraying of the garment because the connection also the thread structure of the cut parts itself holds together. The so achieved Connection is soft; it does not cause pressure points when worn and wears not on.

Dies gilt nicht nur für Unterbekleidungsstücke aus einfachen Zuschnitten, wie z.B. Schlüpfer, Slips, Unterhemden oder dergleichen, sondern insbesondere für Büstenhalter, die im einfachsten Fall aus zwei im wesentlichen dreieckförmigen Teilen, den auch die Büstenkörbchen umfassenden Seitenteilen bestehen, die im vorderen mittleren Bereich miteinander verbunden und an den rückwärtigen Enden mit einem Rückenverschluss versehen sind, bei denen die Verstärkungen entlang der freien Ränder der Seitenteile verlaufen. Schließlich können in der erfindungsgemäßen Weise auch Badebekleidungsstücke und natürlich Herrenunterbekleidungsstücke ausgestaltet werden.This does not only apply to underwear made from simple cuts, e.g. Panties, briefs, undershirts or the like, but especially for Brassieres, which in the simplest case consist of two essentially triangular ones Parts, which also consist of the bust parts, which are in the front middle area connected to each other and to the rear Ends are provided with a back closure, where the reinforcements run along the free edges of the side panels. Finally, in the way according to the invention also swimwear and of course Men's underwear items are designed.

Die Erfindung, die, wie dargelegt, nicht auf einen besonderen Typ von Unterbekleidungsstück festgelegt ist, wird zunächst am Beispiel eines Büstenhalters erläutert. So ist in Fig. 1 ein erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeter Büstenhalter von der Innenseite her dargestellt. Der Büstenhalter 1 besteht aus zwei Seitenteilen 2 und 3, die spiegelbildlich zu einer vorderen Mittetachse M ausgebildet und angeordnet sind. Die Seitenteile 2 und 3 umfassen jeweils durch Molden ausgeformte Büstenkörbchen 4 und 5. Die Seitenteile 2 und 3 sind im Bereich der vorderen Mittelachse M in einem Bereich 6 miteinander verbunden.The invention, as set forth, is not limited to any particular type of Underwear is determined, using the example of a Bra explained. 1 is an embodiment of the invention Bra shown from the inside. The bra 1 consists of two side parts 2 and 3, which are mirror images of a front center axis M are trained and arranged. The side parts 2 and 3 each include through Molded bust cups 4 and 5. The side parts 2 and 3 are in Area of the front central axis M connected to one another in an area 6.

Zur regelmäßigen Ausstattung eines derartigen Büstenhalters gehören an den rückwärtigen Enden der Seitenteile 2 und 3 angeordnete aktive und passive Teile eines Rückenverschlusses 7 sowie im vorderen oberen Bereich 9 der Seitenteile 2 und 3 oberhalb der Büstenkörbchen 4 und 5 fest angebrachte Trägerbänder 8, die im rückwärtigen Bereich bei 10 in einer durch ein Verstellelement 11 gebildeten Schlaufe 12 verstellbar befestigt sind. To regularly equip such a bra belong to the rear ends of the side parts 2 and 3 arranged active and passive parts a back closure 7 and in the front upper region 9 of the side parts 2 and 3 above the bust cups 4 and 5 fixed carrier straps 8, the in the rear area at 10 in a formed by an adjusting element 11 Loop 12 are adjustably attached.

Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel bestehen die Seitenteile 2 und 3 jeweils aus einer ihre gesamte Fläche überdeckenden Lage 13 bzw. 14 aus einem textilen, in gewissem Maße dehnbaren Grundmaterial.In the illustrated embodiment, the side parts 2 and 3 each from a layer 13 or 14 covering their entire surface from one textile, to a certain extent stretchable base material.

Die Seitenteile 2 und 3 haben, der Anatomie und Funktion folgend, etwa dreieckförmige Gestalt; das Grundmaterial 13, 14 ist an den freien Rändern verstärkt. Entlang des unteren Randes 15 des Büstenhalters 1 zieht sich eine Randverstärkung 16 bis zum Rückenverschluss 7 hin. Entlang der oberen äußeren Ränder 17 erstrecken sich Randverstärkungen 18 von den Rückenverschlussteilen 7 bis hin zu den vorderen oberen Befestigungsstellen 9 der Trägerbänder 8 und schließlich Randverstärkungen 20 entlang der oberen inneren Ränder 19 von den Stellen 9 bis zum unteren Rand 15.The side parts 2 and 3 have, following the anatomy and function, approximately triangular shape; the base material 13, 14 is on the free edges strengthened. A pulls along the lower edge 15 of the bra 1 Edge reinforcement 16 up to the back closure 7. Along the top outer edges 17 extend edge reinforcements 18 from the Back closure parts 7 up to the front upper fastening points 9 the carrier tapes 8 and finally edge reinforcements 20 along the top inner edges 19 from positions 9 to the lower edge 15.

Für die Ausgestaltung dieser Randverstärkungen 16, 18 und 20, die an allen Rändern grundsätzlich gleich ausgebildet sein sollten, sind in den Fig. 2 bis 5 unterschiedliche Ausführungsformen dargestellt. Die Darstellungen zeigen jeweils einen vergrößerten Querschnitt entlang der Linie II-II in Fig. 1, gelten im Grunde aber auch für die Verstärkungen an anderen Rändern des Büstenhalters und für Verstärkungen der Ränder anderer Unterbekleidungsstücke für Damen und Herren.For the design of these edge reinforcements 16, 18 and 20, which at all In principle, edges should be of the same design are shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 different embodiments shown. The representations show an enlarged cross section along the line II-II in Fig. 1, basically apply but also for the reinforcements on other edges of the bra and for Reinforced edges of other underwear for women and Men's.

In Fig. 2 ist die einfachste Form einer Randverstärkung 18 dargestellt. Der Zuschnitt des Grundmaterials 13 für ein Seitenteil 2 ist an allen Seiten etwas größer gewählt als es der endgültigen Umrissform des Seitenteils 2 entspricht. Der so über den endgültigen Umriss des Seitenteils 2 überstehende Rand 21 ist dann um die Außenkante 22 umgeschlagen und in einer Verbindungszone 23 im wesentlichen flächig mit dem Grundmaterial 13 des Seitenteils 2 verbunden. Diese Verbindung kann eine Verklebung sein, wobei entweder ein Kleber aufgetragen, z.B. aufgespritzt, oder in Form einer Klebefolie aufkaschiert sein kann oder auch durch Verschmelzung thermoplastischer Fasern erreicht sein, die dem Grundmaterial 13 integriert sind. 2 shows the simplest form of edge reinforcement 18. The Cutting the base material 13 for a side part 2 is something on all sides chosen larger than it corresponds to the final outline shape of the side part 2. The edge 21 projecting over the final outline of side part 2 is then folded over the outer edge 22 and in a connecting zone 23 in substantially connected to the base material 13 of the side part 2. This Connection can be a glue, either using an adhesive, e.g. sprayed on, or laminated in the form of an adhesive film or else be achieved by fusing thermoplastic fibers that the Base material 13 are integrated.

Da die Zuschnitte der Seitenteile 2 und 3 von vornherein festliegen, ist es möglich, die zur Herstellung der Verbindungszone 23 erforderlichen Maßnahmen jeweils auf die ganze Länge der jeweiligen Ränder der Seitenteile 2 und 3 in einem Arbeitsgang vorzunehmen, so dass es zur Fertigung eines derartigen Büstenhalters nur mehr rechtwinklig zur Ebene der Werkstücke bewegter Werkzeuge bedarf, Arbeitsvorgänge, bei denen Werkzeuge an den Rändern entlangbewegt werden müssen, also nicht mehr erforderlich sind.Since the cuts of the side parts 2 and 3 are fixed from the start, it is possible to the measures required to produce the connection zone 23 in each case along the entire length of the respective edges of the side parts 2 and 3 in one Make operation so that it is used to manufacture such Bra only moves perpendicular to the plane of the workpieces Tools needed, operations where tools on the edges have to be moved along, so they are no longer required.

Im Zuge der Fertigung eines derartigen Büstenhalters werden zuerst die oberen Ränder 17 und 19 der Seitenteile 2 und 3 in der beschriebenen Weise befestigt, danach die Seitenteile 2 und 3 in der vorderen Mittelachse M miteinander verbunden und schließlich die Randverstärkung 16 am unteren Rand aufgebracht. Es ist aber auch möglich, die Seitenteile 2 und 3 zunächst jeweils für sich fertigzustellen und erst danach die Verbindung im vorderen mittleren Bereich 6 vorzunehmen.In the course of the manufacture of such a bra, the top bra first Edges 17 and 19 of the side parts 2 and 3 attached in the manner described, then the side parts 2 and 3 in the front central axis M with each other connected and finally applied the edge reinforcement 16 at the bottom. But it is also possible, the side parts 2 and 3 initially for each and then the connection in the front middle area 6 make.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist es, wie in Fig. 3 angedeutet ist, natürlich auch möglich, die Randverstärkung 18 aus einem elastischen Einfassband 24 auszubilden, das in einer Verbindungszone 25 mit dem Grundmaterial verbunden ist. Diese Verbindungszone kann grundsätzlich in gleicher Weise gestaltet sein wie die Verbindungszone 23 zwischen dem Umschlag 21 und dem Grundmaterial 13 gemäß Fig. 2, d.h. es kann eine Verklebung sein oder auch eine Verschmelzung thermoplastischer Fasern, die durch Anwendung von Druck und/oder Wärme erreicht wird.According to the invention, as is indicated in FIG. 3, it is of course also possible to form the edge reinforcement 18 from an elastic binding tape 24, the is connected to the base material in a connecting zone 25. This Connection zone can basically be designed in the same way as that Connection zone 23 between the envelope 21 and the base material 13 2, i.e. it can be a bond or a fusion thermoplastic fibers by applying pressure and / or heat is achieved.

Sollte die durch Doppelung des Grundmaterials 13 erzielte Randverstärkung 18 gemäß Fig. 2 nicht ausreichen, ist es, wie Fig. 4 zeigt, ohne weiteres möglich, auf diese in einer weiteren Verbindungszone 25 noch ein Einfassband 24 aufzubringen. Die Verbindungszone 25 kann wiederum in gleicher Weise gestaltet sein wie die Verbindungszone 23 zwischen dem Umschlag 21 und dem Grundmaterial 13. Should the edge reinforcement 18 achieved by doubling the base material 13 2 is not sufficient, as FIG. 4 shows, it is easily possible on in a further connection zone 25 there is also a binding tape 24 applied. The connection zone 25 can in turn be designed in the same way be like the connection zone 23 between the envelope 21 and the Base material 13.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit zur Befestigung des offenen Schnittrandes des in diesem Fall der endgültigen Umrissform entsprechenden Zuschnitts für ein Seitenteil 2 ist in Fig. 5 angedeutet. Hier ist der Rand durch ein Besatzband 26 befestigt, das um seine Längsmittelachse gefaltet ist und dessen Schenkel 26a, 26b nunmehr auf der Oberseite und Unterseite des Grundmaterials 13 anliegen. Auch diese Schenkel 26a, 26b des Besatzbandes können in grundsätzlich der gleichen Weise in Verbindungszonen 27 mit dem Grundmaterial 13 verbunden sein wie im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 2 beschrieben wurde.Another way to attach the open cut edge of the Case of the final outline corresponding cut for a side part 2 is indicated in Fig. 5. Here the edge is fastened by a trim band 26, which around its longitudinal central axis is folded and its legs 26a, 26b now open the top and bottom of the base material 13 abut. This too Legs 26a, 26b of the trim band can be done in basically the same way in connection zones 27 with the base material 13 as in In connection with Fig. 2 has been described.

Für die die Verbindung mit dem Grundmaterial vorbereitende Ausrüstung des Bandes gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten. Zum einen kann ein Band verwendet werden, das auf der dem Grundmaterial zugekehrten Seite eine Schar von flottierend verlaufenden Kettfäden aus schmelzfähigem Material aufweist. Diese Kettfäden können bei der Herstellung des Bandes durch Weben in Abständen voneinander von Schussfäden im Bandkörper abgebunden werden. Da die Kettfäden dann zwischen den einzelnen Schusseintragungen mit einem entsprechend fangen Fadenabschnitt auf der Bandoberfläche verlaufen, entsteht dort ein Belag aus flottierenden Abschnitten von Kettfäden, der unter Einwirkung von Druck und Wärme eine Verbindung mit dem Grundmaterial erzeugt.For the equipment preparing the connection with the basic material There are different ways to use tape. Firstly, a tape can be used on the side facing the base material has floating warp threads made of meltable material. This Warp threads can be used in the manufacture of the ribbon by weaving at intervals are tied from each other by weft threads in the belt body. Since the Warp threads between the individual weft entries with a accordingly catch thread section run on the belt surface, arises there a covering of floating sections of warp threads, which under the influence of pressure and heat creates a connection with the base material.

Alternativ zu einer solchen Schicht aus Kettfäden könnte das Band auch auf seiner dem Grundmaterial zugekehrten Seite mit einer Trägerschicht versehen sein, auf die ein Granulat aus einem unter Einwirkung von Druck und Wärme schmelzfähigen Material aufgebracht wird. Nach der Druck- und Wärmebehandlung kommt es zu einer Schmelzverflüssigung des Granulats, die wiederum eine vollflächige Armierung des Randbereichs des Bekleidungsstücks bewirkt und dabei dessen Elastizität aufrecht erhält.As an alternative to such a layer of warp threads, the tape could also be on provide a base layer on the side facing the base material be on which a granulate from one under the action of pressure and heat meltable material is applied. After the print and Heat treatment leads to a melt liquefaction of the granules again a full-surface reinforcement of the edge area of the garment causes and maintains its elasticity.

Schließlich könnte auf das Band auch eine Klebefolie aus wenigstens zwei Klebekomponenten aufgebracht werden, die eine zueinander unterschiedliche Schmelztemperatur aufweisen. Die Schmelzfähigkeit der Komponenten sollte dabei so gewählt werden, dass bei einer ersten Wärmebehandlung die zweite Klebekomponente noch nicht aktiv wird. Dadurch kann die Klebefolie zunächst auf das Band aufgebracht und dort durch Anwendung von Druck und Wärme mit diesem verbunden werden. Das so erhaltene Zwischenprodukt wird dann an der gewünschten Stelle auf das Bekleidungsstück aufgelegt und erneut einer Druckund Wärmebehandlung allerdings jetzt bei einer höheren Temperatur unterzogen. Dadurch wird auch die zweite Klebekomponente aktiviert und sorgt für die gewünschte Verbindung des Bandes mit dem BekleidungsstückFinally, an adhesive film consisting of at least two could also be placed on the tape Adhesive components are applied that are different from each other Have melting temperature. The meltability of the components should should be chosen so that the first is the second heat treatment Adhesive component is not yet active. As a result, the adhesive film can be opened first applied the tape and there by applying pressure and heat be connected to this. The intermediate product thus obtained is then on the desired place on the garment and again a Druckund However, heat treatment is now carried out at a higher temperature. This also activates the second adhesive component and ensures that desired connection of the band with the item of clothing

Während anhand der Fig. 1 die Anwendung der Erfindung bei einem Büstenhalter gezeigt wurde, kann dies anhand Fig. 6 noch für einen Slip erfolgen.1 the application of the invention to a brassiere 6, this can also be done for a slip with reference to FIG. 6.

Fig. 6 zeigt einen solchen Slip 30, der aus einem Vorderteil 31 und einem Rückenteil 32 besteht, die im Taillenbereich zur Bildung eines Taillenbundes 33 in Stoßverbindungen 34 miteinander verbunden sind; eine weitere Stoßverbindung kann sich im Schrittbereich 35 befinden.Fig. 6 shows such a slip 30, which consists of a front part 31 and Back part 32 is formed in the waist area to form a waistband 33 in Butt joints 34 are interconnected; another butt joint can be in crotch area 35.

Auf die Schnittführung und die Verbindung einzelner Teile miteinander kommt es hier jedoch nicht an, sondern lediglich auf die Befestigung der Ränder, die praktisch in gleicher Weise erfolgen kann wie bei dem Büstenhalter 1 in den Fig. 2 bis 5 dargestellt. Die Zuschnitte für den Slip 30 sind nicht nur im Bereich des Taillenbundes 33 mit einer Randverstärkung 36 versehen, sondern auch entlang der Ränder 37 der Beinöffnungen 38. Diese Randverstärkungen können grundsätzlich in der gleichen Weise ausgebildet sein wie oben anhand der Fig. 2 bis 5 beschrieben.It depends on the cut and the connection of individual parts but not here, but only on the attachment of the edges can be done practically in the same way as with the bra 1 in FIG. 2 to 5 shown. The cuts for the slip 30 are not only in the area of Waistband 33 provided with an edge reinforcement 36, but also along the edges 37 of the leg openings 38. These edge reinforcements can basically be configured in the same way as above with reference to FIG. 2 to 5 described.
