Abstract

A piece of clothing and a cloth structure thereof are provides. The cloth structure is used for making the piece of clothing and the piece of clothing is adapted to be worn by an object for keeping the object warm. The cloth structure comprises a surface layer, a thermal storage layer, and a thermal isolation layer. The thermal storage layer is configured to absorb heat radiated from the object when the piece of clothing is worn by the object. The thermal isolation layer is between the surface layer and the thermal storage layer and faces the thermal storage layer. The thermal isolation layer is configured to isolate heat from radiating out the thermal isolation layer.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A cloth structure for making a piece of clothing being adapted to be worn by an object, comprising:
 a surface layer;   a thermal storage layer, being configured to absorb heat radiated from the object when the piece of clothing is worn by the object; and   a thermal isolation layer, between the surface layer and the thermal storage layer, facing the thermal storage layer, and being configured to isolate heat from radiating out the thermal isolation layer.   
     
     
         2 . The cloth structure as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a heat generating layer between the thermal isolation layer and the thermal storage layer for generating an amount of heat. 
     
     
         3 . The cloth structure as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the heat generating layer is made with stainless steel fiber, carbon fabrics, metal film or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         4 . The cloth structure as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the thermal storage layer further absorbs the amount of heat generated by the heat generating layer. 
     
     
         5 . The cloth structure as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the thermal isolation layer is made with an Al 2 O 3  material, an TiO2 material or a combination thereof to reflect heat off the thermal isolation layer. 
     
     
         6 . The cloth structure as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the thermal isolation layer further reflect the amount of heat, generated by the heat generating layer, off the thermal isolation layer. 
     
     
         7 . The cloth structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the thermal isolation layer has a thickness substantially equal to 20 μm. 
     
     
         8 . The cloth structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the thermal isolation layer is formed of air. 
     
     
         9 . The cloth structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the thermal storage layer is made from a far infra-red emission material. 
     
     
         10 . The cloth structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the thermal storage layer is made from a phase change material (PCM). 
     
     
         11 . The cloth structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the thermal storage layer has a thickness substantially equal to 20 μm. 
     
     
         12 . A piece of clothing having the cloth structure as claimed in  claim 1 . 
     
     
         13 . A piece of clothing having the cloth structure as claimed in  claim 2 . 
     
     
         14 . The piece of clothing as claimed in  claim 13 , further comprising:
 a battery, being configured to supply a voltage; and   a controller, electrically connected to the battery, being configured to enable the battery to supply the voltage,   wherein the heat generating layer has at least one terminal electrically connected to the battery, so as to generate the amount of heat according to the voltage.
