COOLING GARMENTS, WARMING GARMENTS, AND RELATED METHODS
20180280225 · 2018-10-04 ·

The present disclosure generally relates to intelligent garments that provide thermal regulation in a variety of environments. The garments may include different layers such as a hydrophobic layer in direct contact with a wearer's skin surface and saturated with an aqueous mixture, a spacer layer, a reflective layer, and an outer hydrophobic layer. The layers of the garment may work together to reduce the metabolic expenditure of the wearer in extreme environmental conditions or during demanding physical activity. A variety of sensors may be displaced throughout the garments so as to enable the collection of data associated with wearers as well as environmental conditions. Wearers may control the thermal balance and other properties of the garments as desired.

UNDERGARMENTS WITH MULTI-LAYER BARRIERS TO LESSEN EMF/EMR/EHS EMITTING FEATURES AND MOISTURE MANAGEMENT PROPERTIES
20180271176 · 2018-09-27 ·

Undergarments are worn beneath other clothing articles and have direct contact to human skin and vital body organs. The rationale behind the development of this invention is to minimize electromagnetic fields/frequency (EMF); electromagnetic radiation (EMR); and electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) while managing moisture production within the same. Multiple textile barrier linings will serve as blocking measures to minimize the hazardous effects linked to various EMR/EMF emitting exposure as well as introduce moisture and absorption properties. In addition, this invention will address the problems with existing products and EMF/EMR protectors that are described as heavy, uncomfortable, and expensive to process. Furthermore, this invention will serve a three-tier purpose in aiding the consumer in the first layer of protection for their genital and upper body torso, while providing a barrier from radiated EMF/EMR energy, as well as offer a composition to eliminate the production of moisture and bacteria through additional blocking features.

Multilayer-Structure Circular Knit Fabric
20180266024 · 2018-09-20 · ·

Provided is a multilayer-structure circular knit fabric that has excellent cool touch sensation and moisture absorbability, has improved moisture dispersibility, is quick drying to avoid the feeling of dampness, is very comfortable with high cool touch sensation, can reduce stickiness and a cold feeling after sweating by causing the sweat to dry quickly, and has a pleasant texture. The multilayer-structure circular knit fabric is formed of a single circular knit having a layer structure with two or more layers, and has a section where a cellulose-based continuous fiber and a hydrophobic fiber form the same knit loop.

This undergarment comprises of a) Undergarment with open crotch area b) changeable crotch piece to cover open crotch area of undergarment. The crotch piece can be attached to the undergarment with adhesives or fasteners either from outside or inside. Crotch piece can be changed as needed

REPOSITIONABLE MOISTURE MANAGEMENT MATERIAL THAT CREATES A BARRIER TO SKIN-ON-SKIN CONTACT
20180185198 · 2018-07-05 · ·

An article of clothing can be used to reduce or prevent the occurrence of prolonged skin-on-skin contact, rashes, irritation, intertrigo, infections, discomfort, or chaffing. Such an article of clothing has a moisture management material made up of at least an outer layer, an inner layer, and a tab. The moisture management material is attached to a portion of the article of clothing via a tab of the moisture management material. The moisture management material may be of various shapes and sizes and preferably fits within a prescribed area of the article of clothing. The moisture management material may be variably positioned within the article of clothing to provide differing results such as additional support and/or moisture absorbing or moisture moving where necessary. Preferably the article of clothing is a brassiere but may be a shirt, diaper, pants, socks, panties, or other undergarments.
