Resolution Means

Clothing 100 involving the present invention is furnished with an upper-body piece 10 for covering at least a portion of the upper half of the body, and upper-body support patternings 20 formed on the upper-body piece 10. The upper-body support patternings 20 include an upper-body first printed-on patterning 21 situated in sites following at least a portion of the psoas major muscles (901), an upper-body second printed-on patterning 22 situated in sites following the supraspinatus muscles (903), and an upper-body third printed-on patterning 23 situated in sites following the teres major muscles (904). The upper-body support patternings 20 are constituted from ink-impressed figures formed by ink being printed on the upper-body piece 10.

A three-ply garment may provide coverage for wearers in the form of a soft, body-hugging garment with no elastic bands, no restrictive sides or back bands which may compress the body and cause discomfort and pain. The garment may include no underwire, no straps which may uncomfortably dig into the wearer’s skin, no clasps, no front closures, no back closures, or similar uncomfortable, bulky, or rigid connectors or supports.

A face mask configured to be worn on a human head includes a face shield and an ear loop. The ear loop is connected to a lateral side of the face shield. The ear loop defines an elongated narrow center portion positioned between an enlarged first end and an enlarged second end opposite the first end. The enlarged first end is connected to an upper portion of the lateral side of the face shield. The enlarged second end is connected to a lower portion of the lateral side of the face shield. The enlarged first end overlaps the enlarged second end along the lateral side of the face shield.

A fabric structure includes a first layer, a second layer, and a spacing layer that interconnects the first layer and the second layer, wherein, the interconnecting of the first layer, second layer, and third layer forms a plurality of channels.

A one-size-fits-all garment (10) is formed of multiple stretchable fabric portions (2) joined together by a PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) thread (38). The garment includes a waistband (6) that uses a paper fusing technique to fuse a fusing material from a paper backing sheet (18, 18A, 18B), onto the waistband which is also joined to the stretchable fabric portions using PBT thread. A method for forming the garment includes using a sheet of carrier paper with a fusing material such as a plurality of discrete dots of fusing material, to the waistband and sewing the multiple stretching stretchable fabric portions together and to the waistband using the PBT thread.

A swimsuit for competition swimming is contemplated as being formed with a network of tension bands disposed interior to the external surface of the swimsuit for storing energy and resisting motion, and with a plurality of reinforcement liners configured to complement the functionality of the network of tension bands while maintaining strength and flexibility in targeted locations while prevent intrusion of water from being retained within the components of the suit through a network of strategically positioned drains. The swimsuit may optimize the swimmer's swimming motion with reduced discomfort and without degrading prematurely due to wear.

A support garment that provides upper and lower support for the breasts of a wearer through the use of alternating struts and openings to create a webbed configuration is provided. The first support area comprises an upper support portion made up of a first structural configuration comprising a plurality of alternating struts and openings. The upper support portion is located above breast cup portions of the support garment. The second support area comprises a lower support portion located below the breast cup portions. The lower support portion includes a second structural configuration comprising a plurality of alternating struts of openings.

An air mask is applied for a user to wear and includes a wearable main body, an airflow generator and a face shield. The wearable main body has a front part and a rear part and includes an airflow channel, an air inputting port disposed on the rear part, and an air outputting port disposed on the front part. The airflow generator is coupled to the air inputting port and configured for generating and guiding airflow to the airflow channel. The face shield is coupled to the front part of the wearable main body and has an air chamber communicated with the air outputting port. When the user wears the air mask, the air inputting port is located on rear head of the user, the air outputting port is located on forehead of the user, and the airflow flows downward from the forehead of the user to the air chamber.

A body support wrap adapted to encompass a body article of a user while elastically encompassing and supporting a fluid communication element, the body support wrap includes first and second flexible elastomeric surrounding sidewalls that are adjacent to one another and offset on an upper end forming a mouth opening and the first and second sidewalls are evenly displaced on a lower end forming a closed attachment, wherein an interior pocket is formed therebetween the first and second sidewalls that the fluid communication element is disposed through the mouth opening, wherein operationally via the first and second sidewalls elasticity the fluid communication element is held anyplace within the interior pocket in multiple positions adjacent to the user for the convenience and comfort of the user.

A multi-layered knitted fabric includes: a first layer formed of a first yarn; a second layer formed of a second yarn; and a third layer formed of a third yarn. The first yarn includes an evaporative yarn, the second yarn includes a cut resistant yarn, the third yarn includes an evaporative yarn adapted to allow moisture trapped in the second layer to move to the third layer, and the second layer is arranged between the first and third layers.
