8548622, Oct 1, 2013

Filed:

Jul 22, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/841829

Inventors:

Jason Berns - Baltimore MD, US
William Mickle - Raleigh NC, US
Mari Lucero - Baltimore MD, US
David Ayers - Baltimore MD, US

Assignee:

Under Armour, Inc. - Baltimore MD

International Classification:

G06F 19/00

US Classification:

700132, 700130

Abstract:

A method of manufacturing a compression garment comprises obtaining a plurality of model measurements at various locations on a model body. Thereafter, a plurality of garment dimensions are calculated for various locations on the garment. Each calculation of a garment dimension is based at least in part on one of the plurality of model measurements and at least in part on a target elongation for the garment. In at least one embodiment, calculations for various garment dimensions are performed by inserting the plurality of model measurements into a pattern equation that includes a model measurement variable and a target elongation variable. After calculating garment dimensions, a plurality of fabric segments are prepared for the garment based on the calculated dimensions. Each of the plurality of fabric sections comprise elastane and are characterized by a modulus of elasticity.

International Classification:

A41D 1/04

US Classification:

2102, 2228, 2239, 2171, 2115, 66171

Abstract:

A reversible garment with a warming side and a cooling side is comprised of a double knit fabric including a first face and a second face. The garment is reversible such that either face may be worn on the exterior of the garment. When the first side of the garment is worn against the body, the garment provides a heating effect by trapping air and body heat while wicking moisture to the outside of the fabric. When the second side of the garment is worn against the body, the garment provides a cooling garment by accelerating moisture movement across the fabric. Indicia are provided on the garment to indicate whether heating or cooling effects will be provided in the first-side-out configuration and the second-side-out configuration.
