Abstract

A textile layered construction has a textile outer layer, a textile inner layer and an absorbing component, whereby line-shaped connections between the outer layer and the inner layer are designed as a laser welded joint, forming chambers fillable with insulating material between the welded joints. At least one line-shaped welded joint connection includes an interruption separating the line-shaped welded joint connection into two line-shaped welded joint connection parts.

Claims (38)

1. A textile layered construction comprising:

a textile outer layer;

a textile inner layer,

an absorber, which is arranged between the textile outer layer and the textile inner layer or which is intergrated in at least one of the textile outer layer and the textile inner layer, and

at least one line-shaped joint connection between the outer layer and the inner layer forming chambers fillable with insulating material on both sides of the line-shaped joint connection,

wherein the line-shaped joint connection is a laser welded joint connection, and

wherein at least one line-shaped welded joint connection comprises an interruption separating the line-shaped welded joint connection into two line-shaped welded joint connection parts.

2. The textile layered construction according to claim 1 , wherein the absorber is at least one element from the group comprising: a continuous loose intermediate layer, a discontinuous loose intermediate layer, a continuous intermediate layer bonded to the inner layer or to the outer layer, a discontinuous intermediate layer bonded to the inner layer or the outer layer, a coating applied to the inner side of the inner layer or the inner side of the outer layer, an outer layer having integrated absorbent properties, and an inner layer having integrated absorbent properties.

3. The textile layered construction according to claim 1 , wherein the outer layer consists of two bonded layers comprising an outer component and an inner component, the inner component being a weatherproof membrane or a weatherproof coating on the inside of the outer component.

4. The textile layer construction according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one line-shaped welded joint connection has an end provided at a distance from the edge of the textile layered construction.

5. The textile layered construction according to claim 4 , wherein the end of the line-shaped welded joint connection is selected from the group consisting of: a straight weld seam end, a round weld seam end, a hook-shaped weld seam end, and a turning weld seam end.

6. The textile layered construction according to claim 1 , wherein a wide welding strip for a garment detail from the group encompassing a buttonhole, a zipper or a side edge portion of the textile layered construction is provided in the layered construction, which is, in the case of a wide welding strip for a buttonhole or a zipper, cut substantially in the middle.

7. The textile layered construction according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating material is selected from the group encompassing downs and synthetic fibers.

8. A cut piece consisting of a textile layered construction having at least one side edge comprising:

a textile outer layer;

a textile inner layer,

an absorber, which is arranged between the textile outer layer and the textile inner layer or which is intergrated in at least one of the textile outer layer and the textile inner layer, and

at least one line-shaped joint connection between the outer layer and the inner layer forming chambers fillable with insulating material on both sides of the line-shaped joint connection, wherein the line-shaped joint connection is a laser welded joint connection, and

wherein at least one line-shaped welded joint connection comprises an interruption separating the line-shaped welded joint connection into two line-shaped welded joint connection parts.

9. The cut piece according to claim 8 , wherein all line-shaped connections of at least one side edge end at least at a distance from the edge of the cut piece defining a seam line, so that the outer layer and the inner layer as well as, if necessary, an absorber forming a loose intermediate layer form a circumferential free edge end of the cut piece.

10. The cut piece according to claim 8 , wherein one or more side edges of the cut piece consist of a wide welding strip, and wherein at least one side edge is free of a wide welding strip.

11. The cut piece according to claim 8 , wherein the insulating material is selected from the group encompassing downs and synthetic fibers.

12. A method of producing a garment from at least two cut pieces each consisting of a textile layered construction having at least one side edge comprising:

a textile waterproof outer layer;

a textile inner layer,

an absorber, which is arranged between the textile waterproof outer layer and the textile inner layer or which is intergrated in at least one of the textile waterproof outer layer and the textile inner layer, and

at least one line-shaped joint connection between the waterproof outer layer and the inner layer forming chambers fillable with insulating material on both sides of the line-shaped joint connection, wherein the line-shaped joint connection is a laser welded joint connection,

wherein at least one line-shaped welded joint connection comprises an interruption separating the line-shaped welded joint connection into two line-shaped welded joint connection parts, and

wherein the method comprises the steps of producing a construction seam between the adjacent edges of the waterproof outer layer of two cut parts by joining them, by the watertight sealing of the construction seam with the aid of an internally applied seam tape, by joining of the inner layer and by edging of the joined inner layer with an edging tape.

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein joining of the adjacent edges is executed by sewing and joining of the inner layer is executed by sewing.

14. The method according to claim 12 , wherein joining of the inner layer comprises joining with the loose intermediate layer of the two cut parts.

15. A method of incorporating a garment detail from the group comprising a buttonhole or a zipper into a textile layered construction comprising:

a textile outer layer;

a textile inner layer,

an absorber, which is arranged between the textile outer layer and the textile inner layer or which is intergrated in at least one of the textile outer layer and the textile inner layer,

at least one line-shaped joint connection between the outer layer and the inner layer forming chambers fillable with insulating material on both sides of the line-shaped joint connection, wherein the line-shaped joint connection is a laser welded joint connection, and

a wide welding strip for the garment detail,

wherein the method comprises the steps of cutting the wide welding strip substantially centrally along its length, wherein the cut has a length that at least one half of the width of the wide welding strip remains uncut, sewing the edges of a buttonhole or sewing the sides of a zipper in the edges of the cut wide welding strip, and applying a seam tape to said edges of the cut wide welding strip on the side of the inner layer up to the area of the inner layer.
