Description

The invention relates to a textile garment with ballistic protective equipment.

The invention also relates to a textile article of clothing according to claim 14.

A generic textile garment is from the DE 10 2012 110 104 A1 known. The WO 2014/060094 A1 discloses an underwear with ballistic equipment according to the preamble of claim 1.

The term “ballistic protective equipment” is to be understood in particular as personal protective equipment by clothing worn close to the body, whereby the wearer of the clothing should be protected against the effects of an explosion and the splinters that occur as a result, or the effects thereof on the wearer should be reduced.

Studies have shown that injuries to the lower abdomen, particularly in the genital area, increase significantly among military personnel, but also among the civilian population in crisis areas, particularly in regions where terrorist activities occur regularly. One of the reasons for this is that terrorists use unconventional explosive devices and fire devices known as IEDs. These are mostly explosive devices positioned on the ground, which develop their effect from the ground upwards. This creates primary splinters and secondary splinters, which particularly injure the lower abdomen. The explosion also accelerates particles of sand, dust and dirt. There is also a blast and fire from the explosive and fire devices.

From the state of the art, why on the US 6,961,958 B1 an underwear with ballistic equipment is known. The underwear, for example underpants, has pockets into which ballistic protective packages are inserted. The ballistic protection packages can be, for example, a ballistic material called SPECTRAFLEX® from the Allied Signal Company. It is known from the US 6,691,958 B1 also to use aramid filament or polyethylene filament, for example Twaron ™ and Dyneema®, to manufacture the protective packages that are to be inserted into the pockets.

The one from the US 6,961,958 B1 Known device protects comparatively well against frontal shelling, but can only insufficiently protect against explosions of the aforementioned unconventional and near-ground explosive and fire devices. Furthermore, there is a risk that the protective packages placed in the pockets shift unintentionally. In addition, the wearer of the underwear is hindered by the protective packages, for example if he is to lie on the floor or crawl.

Another disadvantage of known ballistically equipped underpants is that their protective packages are only insufficiently matched to the places in the lower abdomen that actually need special protection.

The generic document discloses an underwear, the base of which is composed of a knitted fabric which prevents the penetration of splinters and is made of UHMWPE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) and a different textile material. The different textile materials or the different zones that make up the underwear are sewn together. This invention was based on the consideration that the entire underwear does not have to be formed from a uniform knitwear which prevents the penetration of splinters, but essentially only the areas which require special protection. It has therefore been assumed within the scope of this invention that it is sufficient to use the knitted fabric made of UHMWPE in a first zone of the base area, which requires special protection. Furthermore, the invention was based on the consideration, in contrast to the prior art, such as this from the US 6,961,958 B1 it is known to dispense with first producing the underwear entirely from a material that is not ballistic and then to provide pockets for receiving ballistic protective packages. In contrast to this, the generic document discloses that the underwear is assembled by sewing several different textile materials. This is to ensure that the underwear has a comparatively low basis weight and still has a good protective effect.

However, it has been shown that the protective effect of underwear which is produced in accordance with the disclosure of the generic document is still in need of improvement. One problem is that the aforementioned IED booby traps release their effects in three waves (pressure, fire, fragments). First of all, a pressure wave acts on the textile item of clothing, in particular the underwear. This will inflate and the seams with which the individual textile surfaces are sewn together can burst. The areas that are supposed to ensure a ballistic protective effect remain essentially intact, but are no longer necessarily in the intended places, since all other areas can be destroyed and in particular the seams can be torn. If the second wave acts on the body due to the explosion, splinters and dirt, a ballistic protective effect is no longer reliable. The splinters and dirt can penetrate into the body.

It has been shown that the first wave creates an overpressure that literally inflates or inflates the textile garment. The protective clothing bursts as a result of this pressure and inflation.

A disadvantage of all known textile clothing items is furthermore that the sweat buffering as well as the sweat transport, especially when UHMWPE is used, is unsatisfactory. The sweat is not transported outside, but collects between the skin of the wearer and the garment.

Generally speaking, textile clothing cannot be comfortably worn on the skin with ballistic protective equipment.

Another significant disadvantage of the known textile items of clothing with ballistic protective equipment is that they are poorly suited for camouflage. UHMWPE is only available in white and black. Both colors are poorly suited to camouflage the textile item of clothing. Aramids as an alternative to UHMWPE can sometimes not be colored and also have yellow spots, which is very unfavorable in terms of camouflage.

Another disadvantage of aramids is that they are UV-resistant and therefore have to be welded into a black film and inserted into the clothing as packages, which in turn is detrimental to camouflage. There are also clothes made from aramids. Although this is mostly worn as underwear, it is exposed to UV radiation during washing and drying. Furthermore, the mechanical stability of aramids is deteriorated by washing.

The present invention has for its object to provide a textile item of clothing with a ballistic protective equipment that solves the disadvantages of the prior art, offers a high level of protection, is easy to use and has as little impact on the wearer as possible.

This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1.

This task is also solved for a so-called combat shirt by claim 14.

The textile garment according to the invention with a ballistic protective equipment has a knitted structure or a knitted structure made of at least two yarns, the knitted or knitted structure having ballistic components and refractory components.

By forming the textile item of clothing from a knitted construction or an active construction from at least two yarns, the textile item of clothing can be designed in such a way that it has a ballistic protective effect, preferably in particular a splinter protection, and is nevertheless comfortable to wear on the skin. The inventor has recognized that a combination of at least two yarns can be used to produce a textile item of clothing, which can be of high strength in order to protect the wearer of the item of clothing from the effects of an explosion and the splinters which occur as a result, and additionally has further properties. As shown, this was not possible in the prior art.

In particular, the inventor recognized that it is not necessary for adequate ballistic protection to produce the textile clothing item only from a high-strength material that protects against ballistic influences, but that it is possible to impart further properties to the textile clothing item without the ballistic one Endanger protection.

The solution according to the invention also makes it possible, in particular, for both the sweat buffering and the sweat transport, which is unsatisfactory in particular in the case of pure UHMWPE, to be improved by adding a further thread or by virtue of the fact that at least one further thread has corresponding moisture-absorbing and / or moisture-transporting properties can be.

The additional yarn or one of the additional yarns is preferably designed such that it absorbs moisture from the body and thus supports the thermoregulation of the body. This property is of particular advantage in the case of textile items of clothing which are worn directly on the skin and possibly also underneath other layers of clothing.

A knitted construction is particularly suitable in the areas of a textile item of clothing where high elasticity is required. This applies in particular to items of clothing that are worn directly on the body. A special advantage results in so-called combat shirts, in which it is provided that the torso part is worn directly on the body.

The solution according to the invention is basically particularly suitable for combat shirts. These are long-sleeved or short-sleeved shirts, the torso part of which is worn close to the body, and the sleeve parts (long-sleeved or short-sleeved) are made from a woven material. The sleeve parts can preferably be designed in the way that is customary for sleeves of jackets. In the case of a combat shirt, it is particularly advantageous if the torso part is designed according to the invention from a knitted construction or a knitted construction which has at least two yarns, the knitted or the knitted construction having ballistic components and fireproof components. It is particularly advantageous if the entire torso part is made from the knitted construction or the knitted construction.

The torso part is preferably seamless, it being possible, if necessary, for the textile garment to have a seam in order to form a circumferentially closed textile body, in this case a torso, from a flat-knitted textile part. If appropriate, it can also be provided that the sleeve parts are attached to the torso part by means of seams or in some other way. The seams preferably consist of high-strength, ballistic yarns.

According to the invention, the yarns are knitted together and form the knitted construction or the knitted construction

Because the yarns are knitted together, the knitted construction or the knitted construction can be produced in one piece and offer the desired advantageous properties, that is to say at least ballistic protection, and have a flame-resistant design.

The entire textile garment is preferably formed by the knitted construction according to the invention or the knitted construction. If appropriate, it can be provided that the cuffs, in particular in the area of the sleeves or in the area of the collar of the textile item of clothing, are made of a different material or differently and then with the knitted structure or the knitted structure are connected. However, the cuffs can also be formed in one piece with the knitted construction or the knitted construction.

According to the invention, it is particularly provided that the textile garment has a uniformly produced base body made of the knitted or knitted construction according to the invention with the ballistic and fire-resistant components. The knitted construction or the knitted construction preferably forms the textile item of clothing.

The knitting or knitting construction can be uniformly designed, for example knitted. However, it is also possible for the knitted or knitted structure to have differently compressed and / or thickened zones, so that several zones, for example zones with a higher ballistic protection or zones with a higher elasticity, can be formed. Preferably, the knitting or knitting construction is nevertheless carried out seamlessly.

The formation of compressed and / or thickened knitting zones is particularly suitable at those points of the item of clothing where a higher ballistic protection is advantageous.

The at least two yarns can be knitted together to form the knitting or knitting construction according to the invention, for example, in that each of the yarns used is provided on one or more spools, and the yarns are then knitted together using a knitting program. It can be provided that, for example, two yarns with ballistic components are knitted with one yarn with refractory components. It can also be provided that the incoming yarns have different thicknesses, for example the yarn with the ballistic component is thicker than the yarn with the refractory component. Other yarns with different properties can also be provided.

A particularly advantageous textile garment results from the fact that the yarns are knitted together to form a knitted or knitted construction, in contrast to the solution known from the prior art, in which the knitted construction was only produced using a UHMWPE yarn.

The knitting of a yarn, which enables ballistic protection, with at least one further yarn extends the protective function and the wearing comfort of the textile item of clothing.

By knitting them together, the yarns result in an improved area.

It is advantageous if the ballistic components of the knitted construction or the knitted construction are formed by a yarn which prevents the penetration of splinters and which comprises polyester or polyethylene, preferably ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.

The use of a high-strength filament made of polyester or polyethylene is particularly suitable to create a ballistic protective effect for the textile item of clothing. Polyethylene, preferably ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, has proven particularly useful.

According to the invention it can be provided that the penetration of splinter-inhibiting yarn consists of Dyneema®.

It is advantageous if a yarn with the name Dyneema®, developed by the Dutch group Royal DSM N.V., is used as the yarn for the formation of the ballistic part of the knitting or knitting construction. or a plastic filament called Spectra® from Honeywell International Inc. is used.

The use of Dyneema® has proven to be particularly suitable for the yarn which is intended to provide ballistic protection, in particular since Dyneema® has a high splinter protection effect and is also highly abrasion-resistant and abrasion-resistant.

In addition to the ballistic protective effect, a high-performance yarn made from Dyneema® also has the advantage that Dyneema® has very good abrasion values and high strength values, so that despite the ballistic protective effect, the solution according to the invention can also be used for other applications which do not require a ballistic protective effect. suitable, for example for motorcyclists, where the high abrasion resistance is an advantage in the event of a fall. Furthermore, the high abrasion resistance reduces wear on the textile garment.

Dyneema® is therefore particularly suitable as one of the at least two yarns to form the knitted construction or the knitted construction and to represent a basic material for this.

Dyneema® is currently available on the market in white or black color, with Dyneema® in black color in a special way in combination with the textile garment according to the invention, in view of a particularly advantageous camouflage for the textile garment, which is described in more detail below a yarn in another color.

It is advantageous if the refractory parts of the knitted construction or the knitted construction are formed by a yarn with flame-retardant properties. The yarn can preferably be made of viscose or have viscose. Alternatively, the yarn, also preferably, can be formed as a spun yarn from several fiber components.

Such a training has proven to be particularly suitable in tests to provide textile clothing with flame-retardant properties or to give the knitted or knitted construction the refractory component. Furthermore, the yarns mentioned can be processed in a particularly advantageous manner with Dyneema® or another yarn which gives the knitted construction or the knitted construction the ballistic components. Furthermore, the aforementioned yarns have further advantageous properties which, as will be explained in more detail below, make it possible to impart further properties to the textile clothing item.

The above-mentioned yarns with the flame-retardant properties give the textile garment flame-retardant properties in addition to the splinter protection due to the ballistic components. especially by knitting the yarns together. The yarns with the flame-retardant properties are preferably selected or present in the knitted or knitted construction in such a proportion that the knitted or knitted construction withstands flame for 10 seconds in accordance with DIN EN 15025 without dripping, melting or the like, without the knitted or knitted construction must be covered by another textile layer (upper fabric).

The flame retardant yarn preferably consists predominantly of viscose. It is a modified or flame retardant viscose.

In general, in the context of the invention, insofar as the term "viscose" is used, a flame-retardant viscose is to be understood.

The flame retardant yarn can preferably be made from Viscont®. Viscont® is a filament yarn made of 100% viscose. Alternatively, another yarn, preferably 100% viscose, can also be used as the flame-retardant yarn.

According to the invention it can further be provided that the flame-retardant yarn as spun yarn consists of at least three fiber components, among which are modacrylic, viscose and an antistatic fiber, preferably Belltron®.

The spun fiber yarn preferably consists only of these three components, but can optionally also contain other components.

The spun fiber yarn, which has the flame-retardant properties, can be designed, for example, as Protal®. Protal® is a spun yarn made of three fiber components (modacrylic, viscose, Belltron®), i.e. a mixed yarn. The distribution of the three fiber components and their proportion does not have to be uniform in the spun yarn, but can be selected in a suitable manner.

Forming the yarn with the flame-retardant properties as spun yarn offers further advantages, in particular the spun yarn can be further modified so that the textile garment receives additional desired properties, as shown below.

It can be advantageous if the yarns with the flame-retardant properties have, for example, a brown and / or green and / or beige color. In contrast to most high-strength yarns, such as UHMWPE or aramids, the yarns with the flame-retardant properties can be provided in different colors, which, as will be shown below, has particular advantages with regard to a preferably intended camouflage of the textile clothing item .

According to the invention, it can be provided that the knitted construction or the knitted construction contains yarns which have vector protection.

Because the textile garment has vector protection, the wearer of the garment is largely protected against blood-sucking insects and arachnids. The vector protection is preferably integrated in the yarns.

It is advantageous if the yarns with the flame-retardant properties also have vector protection. The inventor has found that vector protection can be integrated into the yarns with the flame-retardant properties in a particularly advantageous manner. Alternatively, of course, a further yarn could also be integrated into the knitted construction or the knitted construction or knitted together with the other yarns in order to offer vector protection.

It is advantageous if the yarns which have the flame-retardant properties consist of viscose or have viscose, such as the aforementioned spun fiber yarn, and part of the viscose is replaced by the vector protection. The proportion of viscose that is replaced by the vector protection or the proportion of vector protection in the flame-retardant yarn can be selected such that the textile garment has suitable vector protection and at the same time it is ensured that the amount of vector protection or insecticide introduced , preferably permethrin, does not adversely affect the wearer of the textile item of clothing. With regard to possible limit values, reference is made to the guidelines or specifications of the WHO.

It can be advantageous if the flame-retardant yarns have a weight fraction of 5 to 50%, preferably 10 to 30%, particularly preferably 10 to 20%, of a vector protection.

According to the invention, it can be provided that the flame-retardant yarn has a proportion of Cell Solution® Protection. Cell Solution® Protection is a natural cellulose fiber, inside which the active ingredient permethrin is stored for the effective defense against insects. The depot structure of the fiber enables the permethrin to pass from the inside of the fiber to the surface of the fiber with each wash. Alternatively, a similar product, in particular a product made from similar components, can also be used and integrated into the flame-retardant yarn, in particular by using a spun yarn or a yarn that would otherwise be made from 100% viscose, such as Viscont ®, part of the viscose is replaced by the Cell Solution® with the insect protection.

The textile article of clothing according to the invention thus has a knitted or knitted construction which can be provided by knitting two yarns together to form a knitted or knitted construction, the one yarn being a yarn which prevents the penetration of fragments inhibits, preferably a high-strength polyethylene, in particular a UHMWPE. The other yarn can be a yarn with flame-retardant properties (FR yarn), which is preferably modified in such a way that it additionally has vector protection, as described above.

The vector protection can preferably be permethrin. As a result of the optional integration of the vector protection into the flame-retardant yarn, this is evenly distributed over the textile clothing item, so that the textile clothing item is evenly equipped with the insect protection or vector protection, preferably permethrin.

The vector protection is preferably added to the flame retardant yarn.

Cell Solution® can be obtained as a spinning mass and mixed with a spun yarn, preferably Protal®. A yarn can then be produced using a spinning process.

The flame retardant yarn (FR yarn) can preferably be a combination of Protal® and Cell Solution®, which are mixed together and constitute a yarn which, together with the yarn with the ballistic properties, preferably UHMWPE, and particularly preferred Dyneema®, is knitted.

A flame-retardant yarn which additionally has vector protection is unknown in the prior art.

The flame retardant (FR) yarn can be made from any suitable material. This does not have to be a yarn that is made of viscose or has viscose.

Flame retardant yarns are well known in the art.

The aforementioned design options result in a textile item of clothing which, in addition to splinter protection, has flame-retardant properties, good wearing physiology and vector protection.

Vector protection is optional because vector protection is not necessary for all applications. This is especially true if the textile garment is designed as underwear. With underwear, especially in military use in crisis regions, splinter protection and also flame-retardant properties are an advantage, this also applies to the outer fabric.

It is advantageous if the knitted or knitted construction contains yarns that have an antistatic property.

For this purpose, it can be provided that the knitted or knitted construction has an additional yarn. However, the antistatic property of the textile item of clothing can be produced particularly preferably by one of the yarns already used, preferably the yarn with the flame-retardant properties, also additionally having antistatic properties. Antistatic properties can be achieved, for example, by adding fiber components during the manufacture of the yarn. The flame-retardant yarn is preferably designed as a spun fiber yarn and has a component of an antistatic fiber component, for example Belltron®. The flame-retardant yarn is preferably Protal®, which consists of three fiber components, one of the fiber components being Belltron®. It may be sufficient here if Belltron® is added in a small percentage, in particular <10%, preferably <5%, particularly preferably 2% +/- 1%.

The antistatic properties of the knitted construction counteract an electrostatic charge, which can be caused, among other things, by rubbing different items of clothing against each other.

It is advantageous if an outside of the textile item of clothing has a camouflage.

According to the invention, it can further be provided that the knitted or knitted construction contains yarns which can be dyed as desired.

In particular if the textile item of clothing is used in the military field and in particular if the textile item of clothing is an item of clothing which the wearer of the item of clothing is wearing on the outside, it may be advantageous if the textile item of clothing has a camouflage. A camouflage can be produced particularly simply by yarns of the knitted or knitted construction being dyed in a suitable manner. For this purpose, it can be provided that the knitted or knitted construction additionally has colored yarns, which may also have vector protection and / or antistatic properties and / or properties that improve sweat buffering and / or sweat transport.

However, the inventor has recognized that it is possible for the yarn which has the flame-retardant properties to be additionally dyed in a suitable manner. In contrast to the known yarns, which have a ballistic protective effect, the FR yarns, i.e. H. simply dye the yarns, which have a flame-retardant property.

A suitable dyeing of the yarns can thus create a camouflage effect.

It is advantageous if the camouflage is given by coloring the yarns of the knitted construction or the knitted construction.

A camouflage can be produced in a particularly advantageous manner if it is generated by the yarns themselves. It should be noted here that the yarns that produce a ballistic protective effect are usually in predetermined colors (for the sake of simplicity, white and black are also referred to as color in the context of this description). A particularly suitable yarn, namely UHMWPE, in particular in the form of Dyneema® yarn, is available in white and, more recently, in black. The inventor has recognized that the use of a black Dyneema® yarn is particularly suitable for producing a camouflage in connection with the flame retardant yarn. It is particularly advantageous if the flame-retardant yarn has a brown color, for example light brown or dark brown, in a green color or in beige. In connection with, for example, a black Dyneema® yarn, at least a mottled surface can be created or a much better camouflage effect can be achieved than before. The previously known yarns made of high-strength material were not suitable for camouflage. By knitting the at least two yarns, despite the color of the yarn with the ballistic properties, which is clumsy with regard to camouflage, an overall design can nevertheless be achieved which is quite suitable for camouflage. If necessary, additional yarns containing other colors can be added.

By mixing the preferably black filaments from the ballistic protective yarn and in particular a different color design of the fiber with the flame-retardant properties, it can be achieved that the knitted or knitted construction has a mottled look. A mixture ratio that leads to a black-brown view, a black-green or a black-beige view is particularly suitable for the color design.

According to the invention, the textile garment can have yarns that are dyed in any color. In this way, a visual camouflage can be ensured, despite the color specifications, for example UHMWPE, which are clumsy with regard to camouflage. These properties make it possible to wear the textile garment not only concealed, but also as an outer layer.

As an alternative or in addition to a suitable choice of color for the yarns, the textile clothing item can be printed with a camouflage color, as a result of which the camouflage effects can be further improved.

The invention makes it possible to provide a textile item of clothing with a ballistic and a flame-retardant protection and additionally also to ensure a suitable camouflage. This was not possible with the prior art. For example, aramids can sometimes not be colored and have yellow traces, which is very unfavorable from a camouflage point of view. The available colors of UHMWPE (white and black) are also unsuitable for camouflage. The above-described configuration of the solution according to the invention now makes it possible to wear the textile item of clothing as an outer layer in the military area as well.

It is advantageous if the knitted construction or the knitted construction has a mixture of yarns with different colors.

It can also be advantageous if the camouflage is formed or supported by printing the outside of the textile item of clothing with a camouflage color.

It is advantageous if the yarns containing the flame-retardant portion are printed with a camouflage color to form the camouflage.

A further advantage of the solution according to the invention is that yarns that have a viscose component and thus can form the yarns with the flame-retardant properties in a corresponding embodiment can be printed, so that camouflage printing can be produced.

The yarn with the flame-retardant properties can thus preferably combine further properties, namely have a vector protection and enable the camouflage or contribute to camouflage, for example by the yarn being suitably colored in order to achieve a suitable effect in connection with the high-strength yarn and / or by printing on the yarn with the flame retardant properties.

In principle, it is also possible to influence the camouflage design of the yarn with the flame-retardant properties, for example if it is in the form of spun yarn, in particular Protal®, by adding soot to the yarn in order to adjust the reflectance values.

It is advantageous if the knitted construction or the knitted construction is formed seamlessly from the yarns knitted together.

The textile garment preferably consists of the knitted construction or the knitted construction and is preferably produced seamlessly.

In one embodiment of the invention, it can be provided that the textile clothing item has a torso part which consists seamlessly of the knitted construction or the knitted construction and, for example, the sleeve parts of the textile clothing item are also made of a different material, for example a woven fabric.

The inventor has recognized that the protective effect of the textile clothing item can be significantly improved by seamlessly designing the knitted construction or the active construction, preferably the entire textile clothing item. A previous problem, namely the bursting of the seams due to the pressure wave of an explosion and the protective effect that is no longer provided as a result, is thereby avoided.

The inventor has also recognized that it is very advantageous if the textile item of clothing fits snugly against the body of the wearer, in particular if the textile item of clothing is an undergarment or a t-shirt or a combat shirt, thereby avoiding that the textile garment inflates due to the first pressure wave.

It is particularly advantageous if the textile item of clothing is designed in such a way that it not only fits tightly against the body of the wearer of the item of clothing with any cuffs provided, but rather the item of clothing is designed in such a way that it fits tightly overall on the wearer of the item of clothing.

The inventor has also recognized and solved a further problem of ballistically protected textiles from the prior art, in particular according to the generic script. If individual zones are knitted independently of one another and then put together to form a textile item of clothing, open edges or predetermined breaking points are inevitable. These open edges prevent the acting forces from being distributed as effectively as possible, since the filaments are cut off directly at the edge and the force can only be absorbed by the filaments up to this point of intersection. However, the way soft ballistics work is based on the absorption and distribution of the kinetic energy that occurs. The threads of the garment that are hit directly are destroyed and / or stretched by the penetration of the projectile and thus distribute the energy to the surrounding threads. Because fabrics and scrims are generally manufactured at right angles, this energy distribution mainly takes place in the longitudinal and transverse directions. Via the crossing points of the fibers, the force is further distributed to the surrounding threads, which leads to a kind of chain reaction. The energy spreads on the individual threads until the projectile has given up its kinetic energy and gets stuck trying to penetrate the textile layer.

When the ballistic clothing is cut, artificial "predetermined breaking points" are created so that the force acting on the yarns can only be absorbed up to the point of intersection. The preferably provided seamless design of the knitting or knitting construction solves this problem. In this way, the force of the projectile can be transmitted across the entire textile surface, instead of just over the directly affected surface. The knitted yarns would thus (theoretically) derive the force almost endlessly, which leads to improved trauma values.

According to the invention it can be provided that the textile garment is designed as underwear, underpants, undershirt, abdomen protection, t-shirt, headscarf, bandana, splinter protection collar, scarf, balaclava, tubular scarf, combat shirt, torso part or long-sleeved shirt.

It can also be provided that the textile item of clothing is designed as a glove, as an inner glove, as a sock, as a gaiter, as a knee-high stocking, as a bra, as a t-shirt or underwear with female shapes, as a shirt or as a long-sleeved shirt.

The textile item of clothing can also be worn directly on the skin in all possible configurations, that is to say the textile item of clothing can also serve as underwear or replace an underwear.

In an embodiment of the textile garment as underpants, it is advantageous if it is designed in such a way that the underpants, when worn correctly by the wearer, reach so high that they also cover the navel - and run in a ring at this height. This has the advantage that the underwear overlaps with a possibly additionally worn protective vest. In particular, on the back of the person wearing the underwear, the kidneys can also be completely protected by the underwear and, if appropriate, the protective vest.

It is also advantageous if the textile item of clothing in an embodiment as underpants extends to the knee of a wearer, preferably ending immediately above the knee, if the wearer wears the underpants correctly.

According to the invention, the textile garment can have cuffs which are preferably seamlessly connected to the knitted or knitted construction. The cuffs can have an elastic thread or be formed by an elastic yarn. The cuffs can also be flame-retardant and / or breathable.

The cuffs need not necessarily be present in the textile item of clothing and / or be seamlessly connected to the knitted or knitted construction according to the invention.

Within the scope of the invention, the term “cuffs” also includes an embodiment of the textile item of clothing with only one waistband.

Antibacterial finishing of the knitted or knitted construction according to the invention can be advantageous.

It is advantageous if the knitted or knitted construction according to the invention has hydrophilic properties.

It is advantageous if the knitted or knitted construction is closely meshed.

In the case of a configuration of the textile item of clothing as an item of clothing for the upper body, for example an undershirt, t-shirt or combat shirt, it can be advantageous if padding is incorporated or formed in the shoulder area in order to make it easier to carry packing containers or backpacks, for example. Furthermore, it can be advantageous if pockets are introduced, preferably knitted in, in the area of the sleeves and / or the cuffs, for example for holding smartphones, keys, access cards, pens or the like.

According to the invention it can be provided that pockets and / or drawstrings are seamlessly integrated into the knitting or knitting construction.

The above-described configuration of a textile garment for the upper body with padding and / or pockets is suitable both for undershirts or t-shirts for men and for undershirts or t-shirts for women, the undershirts and t-shirts correspondingly female Formations can have. The aforementioned configurations are also suitable for a long-sleeved shirt, in which case the pockets can preferably be formed in the sleeve parts, particularly preferably in the region of the upper arm.

According to the invention it can be provided that the textile garment has a seam in order to form a completely closed textile body from a flat and seamless knitted textile garment.

This does not change the optionally provided seamless design of the knitted or knitted construction of the garment, but is only due to the preferably provided manufacturing process, which can provide that the ends of the flat-knitted garment are to be connected to one another so that a textile body is produced the wearer can wear. Depending on the knitting method, it is also possible, if necessary, to completely dispense with the seam in order to produce a completely closed textile body from the flat-knitted textile garment.

The above-mentioned seam can optionally be designed as a "medical release", in order to be able to quickly remove it from the body in the event of an injury to the wearer of the textile clothing item. An embodiment of the seam as a "medical release" can also be particularly useful when the textile garment is designed as an inner glove or glove.

The textile garment is preferably made on a flat knitting machine.

According to the invention, it is provided that the textile item of clothing is manufactured in such a way that it lies as close as possible to the body.

The cuffs can be made from an elastic and skin-friendly material. The cuffs are preferably without seams with the rest of the textile item of clothing, in particular the underwear, the underpants, the undershirt, the t-shirt, the headgear, the sock, the knee-high stocking, the bra, the inner glove, the combat shirt, the glove or the long-sleeved shirt, connected.

It is advantageous if underpants designed according to the invention are used in conjunction with an undershirt or a T-shirt designed according to the invention.

It is also advantageous if the underpants and / or the undershirt or the T-shirt are used in conjunction with a sock designed according to the invention, a knee-high stocking, a glove, an inner glove and, if appropriate, a brassiere. This results in a particularly advantageous holistic protective equipment for the wearer.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the glove or the inner glove can have tactile zones, preferably at the fingertips. The glove can be worn alone or as an inner glove in another glove.

The glove is preferably designed in such a way that it has a high degree of tactility, in particular in the area of the fingertips, in order to enable or facilitate the typical activities of a soldier, such as shooting or using displays. A high degree of tactility is of particular importance in the area of the index finger in the curved state and on the thumb.

The glove according to the invention or the inner glove preferably has a seamless knitted or knitted construction. At most one seam is preferably provided in order to form a closed body from a flat-knitted textile. The seam is then preferably carried out as a "medical release", as already described.
