Garment, in particular for a human body

Abstract

Garment, in particular for a human body, includes several sections connected together and are each made of one or more plies. For one ply in each case, such a fabric is usable for the sections that the, in particular, human body is shielded from electromagnetic radiation thereby. This at least one ply is advantageously knitted or woven from a fabric made of metal-coated threads, filaments and/or yarns for shielding the electromagnetic radiation. In this way, the human body is shielded from the electromagnetic fields that occur increasingly frequently and with greater intensity, in particular in the high-frequency range.

A garment, in particular for a human body, which is composed of several sections ( 11 ,  12 ,  13 ,  22 ,  24 ) that are connected together and are each made of one or more plies ( 15 ,  16 ,  21 ,  23 ,  25 ), characterized in that for respectively at least one ply ( 15 ,  25 ) of at least one specific section ( 11 ,  12 ,  13 ,  22 ,  24 ) a fabric can be used such that with the latter shielding of, in particular, the human body, from electromagnetic radiation waves is achieved. 
     
     
         2 . The garment according to  claim 1 , characterized in that this at least one ply ( 15 ,  25 ) is knitted or woven from a fabric made of metal-coated threads, filaments and/or yarns for the shielding from electromagnetic radiation. 
     
     
         3 . The garment according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the fabric is woven or knitted densely so that the light meshes are reduced to almost zero so that almost 100% impermeability to electromagnetic waves is achieved. 
     
     
         4 . The garment according to  claim 2 , wherein the threads, filaments and/or yarns are provided with a thin surface layer made of metal, preferably silver or aluminum, by means of which electrical conductivity is provided, by means of which shielding from electromagnetic waves up to a frequency range of 15 GHz is guaranteed. 
     
     
         5 . The garment according to  claim 2 , wherein the threads, filaments and/or yarns of the fabric provided with at least one surface layer made of metal are coated with at least one outer protective layer made of a preferably elastic plastic. 
     
     
         6 . The garment according to  claim 5 , characterized in that the outer protective layer made of a plastic material is provided such that if the metal corrodes with use, no or only a slight color change or wear of the at least one section ( 11 ,  12 ,  13 ,  22 ,  24 ) takes place. 
     
     
         7 . The garment according to  claim 5 , wherein a specific amount of semi-conductive material, such as carbon particles or a conductive polymer or silver particles, is contained in the plastic material of the protective layer so that electrical conductivity of the latter can be generated. 
     
     
         8 . The garment according to  claim 1 , wherein the conduction behavior of the respective surface layer made of metal can be calculated by means of a surface resistance (ρo) in Ohms by the following formula:
   ρ o=ρsA/πDs  
 
 the individual values being defined as follows: 
 ρs describes the material purely with Ohm/m or the resistance per metre length of a filament, 
 A is the distance between the threads, filaments or yarns which run parallel to one another in the transverse or longitudinal direction, 
 D corresponds to the outside diameter without an additional protective layer; and 
 s corresponds to the layer thickness of the metal of the individual threads, filaments or yarns. 
 
     
     
         9 . The garment according to  claim 8 , characterized in that the surface resistance of this fabric exceeds no more than 2 Ohms so that sufficient shielding is guaranteed. 
     
     
         10 . The garment according to  claim 1 , which lies directly against the skin of the human body, such as for example underpants ( 20 ), characterized in that it has at least an inner ply ( 21 ) with a cloth fabric and above this the at least one ply ( 25 ) made of the fabric coated with metal. 
     
     
         11 . The garment according to  claim 10 , characterized in that it consists of three plies ( 21 ,  23 ,  25 ) in the genital area, the middle ply ( 25 ) being produced from the shielding fabric. 
     
     
         12 . The garment according to  claim 1 , which is provided for wearing over at least one garment, such as for example a jacket ( 10 ) or a coat, characterized in that the at least one inner ply ( 15 ), which does not lie directly over the skin of the human body, is formed from this shielding fabric and on the outside from at least one ply ( 16 ) made of the cloth fabric and/or a moisture- or wind-impermeable plastic fabric. 
     
     
         13 . The garment according to  claim 1 , wherein the sections are equipped with at least one opening that can be closed by a zip fastener ( 14 ,  17 ) or the like, which openings are sealed from the rays at least in the closed state on the inside by strips ( 18 ), by the shielding ply ( 15 ) or in some other way. 
     
     
         14 . The garment according to  claim 1 , wherein the sections ( 11 ,  12 ,  13 ,  22 ,  24 ) with in each case several plies ( 15 ,  16 ,  21 ,  23 ,  25 ) are stitched or adhered to one another, the sections with the shielding fabric preferably being arranged so that they overlap at the seams ( 11 ′), so that gap-free shielding is provided on the latter.
