Description

"Garment with an extended play function and play

Landscape"

Objects and advantages of the invention:

The invention relates to an item of clothing according to the preamble of claim 1.

Articles of clothing for children, which are designed to stimulate and encourage the imagination to play, are widely known from the prior art. For example is from the US

2018/0146729 A1 an item of clothing, for example in the form of a T-shirt, is known on which the natural habitat of various animals (e.g. a forest) is depicted and can also be tangibly integrated into the item of clothing by e.g. Bags designed as caves are applied. In addition, there is the possibility of accommodating animals belonging to the habitat in the pockets or, for example, through

To fix Velcro fasteners or the like on the garment.

Furthermore, from KR 10 0 834 997 B1 an item of clothing is known to which a type of clothesline is attached with heads, on which toy items of clothing can in turn be hung on fixed hangers.

In contrast, the object of the invention is to propose an item of clothing that is equipped with extended play functionality and also makes it easier for parents and children to transport toys on the go.

The task is based on an item of clothing or a game device of the type mentioned, through the Characteristic features of claim 1 and also achieved by the characterizing features of claim 13.

The measures specified in the dependent claims make advantageous designs and developments of the invention possible.

The invention is characterized accordingly

Garment characterized in that a game figure and a movable fastening device are provided, the movable fastening device with the first

Garment (in particular fixed or detachable) connected

and / or is integrated into the garment. In contrast to the prior art, the inventive

Garment thus above all the special feature that the corresponding game figure or figures can be releasably attached to the movable fastening device

(can) and is not simply, as has been customary in the prior art, fixed to the item of clothing in a purely static manner

(become) . In contrast to the state of the art, this makes dynamic playful activity possible in the first place, whereby clothing is included and, thanks to its increased functionality, arouses special interest in children too. The movable one

Fastening device can itself be designed to be movable, in that the entire fastening device or part of it is attached or supported in such a way that a certain

Freedom of movement exists. The movable one

However, the fastening device also has a fixed part and additionally comprises a movement element which is mounted in a correspondingly movable manner. The movable fastening device or the moving element can then be relative to

Garment or the playing surface can be moved, usually not only in a plane parallel to

Game surface, but in a three-dimensional area. In contrast to the prior art, this is

Garment immediately in play, more precisely in one

three-dimensional play activity, included. Will the

This is because the game figure is merely attached to the item of clothing and statically fixed there, so the actual game process is only made possible by the fact that the game figure is detached from the item of clothing itself and moved around the room. According to the invention, however, a play landscape is assigned to the item of clothing, which does not only consist of a surface that

can optionally also wear a motif, is made available, but the play surface of the item of clothing according to the invention becomes part of the scope used when playing. At the same time the item of clothing has an extended play function, i.e. it is through the

structural features according to the invention part of the

actual toy or game and not only has the passive function of a mere background backdrop. In addition, the invention makes it possible to dispense with taking additional toys such as dollhouses or the like with you on the way / when traveling, since the item of clothing does so

Able to absorb game function completely.

According to the invention, the respective game figure is magnetically fastened to the movable fastening device or the moving element. The attachment can, however, also be designed in a different manner, depending on the exemplary embodiment, for example by clamping or by Velcro. In addition, it cannot be ruled out that, in addition to a magnetically attachable game figure, there are also those that are attached in a different way.

Various of these fastening variants can also be used together in the frame of the item of clothing and integrated therein. It is also conceivable to undertake a type of coding by adding, for example, various movable Fastening devices or their moving elements are provided and each animal only individual of these

Fastening device or moving elements are assigned. For example, only the monkeys can be attached to a movable fastening device or a

Hold the movement element in the form of a liana, but not the lion as a play figure.

For detachable fastening, clamp brackets, magnetic fastenings or fastenings by means of Velcro fasteners, which can also be found as standard fastening elements for such items of clothing in sewing needs, can be used.

The movable fastening device or the moving element can be designed as follows: For example, it can be a type of pendulum that stands for a liana, for example. Such a pendulum can be attached to the playing surface at at least one point, over part of its length or the entire length.

Together with the use of magnets as a means for detachable fastening, a further play option is implemented according to the invention, namely by integrating a type of bag into the item of clothing, in the interior of which a magnet or a magnetizable body is introduced so that it is

is movably mounted within the pocket. A flat body, for example in the form of a plate, especially with a rounded one, can be used as a magnet or magnetizable body

Margins. The body can therefore be made flat so that the garment in the area where it is currently stored inside the pocket is not or is only barely thicker than the rest of the garment on the outside. The smaller the body, the more inconspicuous it is

housed inside garment. In addition, the body has even more inside the pocket Freedom of movement, the smaller it is designed. Instead of a magnet, the body can also comprise a ferromagnetic material. The choice of material depends on whether, for example, a toy figure that is to be detachably attached to it also has a magnet or just a magnetizable material. Furthermore, it is also conceivable, due to the alignment of two magnets used (for example in the game figure and on the fastening device or on the moving element)

Exploit repulsion effects so that only certain

Alignments in the attachment are allowed.

The type of movement can be implemented in various ways. Another variant is to use a

Provide guide rail with a runner mounted in the guide rail as a movement element. A tape, a cord or a cord can be used, for example, as a guide rail, the magnet or the magnetizable body on the guide rail e.g. is raised as a running pearl. It is also conceivable that the magnet or magnetizable body as

Moving element is stored in a guide rail, which is designed like a hose, a tunnel or a tube, so that it can also move along its length. The garment can thus advantageously be worn

be adapted to different game situations and, depending on your wishes, provide your own game world by also imitating different movement possibilities (e.g. swinging on lianas, sliding movements, etc.). Through the

Connection possibility of playing figures with the item of clothing or the movable fastening device with the

However, these items of clothing still form a unit and can also be transported together on the body.

In a particularly preferred exemplary embodiment, the pocket is as a movable fastening device as possible

inconspicuously integrated into the garment so that from the outside it is not even perceived that it exists at all. Thus, the pocket can be essentially parallel to the

Extend play surface, so for example be housed in the layer of fabric or in a plane parallel to the layer of fabric. The extension perpendicular to the playing surface can be chosen as small as possible so that the fabric or the item of clothing does not attract attention in this area due to an increased thickness.

In a further exemplary embodiment, the interior of the pocket can in principle be completely closed. To that

However, to be able to wash the item of clothing, it is advantageous to be able to remove the magnet or the magnetizable body before the washing process. In this respect, such a

Embodiment of the interior space can be opened or closed in a partial area, in particular in a partial area of the edge.

Be designed to be reclosable. The moving element (magnet or magnetizable body) can then be returned to the interior space after the washing process.

In particular if the moving element is made of metal

is formed, corrosion of the movement element, which leads to the restriction of the function, but also to soiling of the garment, can be avoided.

The bag can be shaped differently depending on the game situation and playing surface. In particular, it can be designed as a tunnel, the width of which corresponds to that of the movement element parallel to the playing surface, so that the

Moving element is movably mounted in the tunnel only along the length of the tunnel. Such a tunnel basically corresponds to a guide rail, at least with regard to the possibility of movement. Training as a labyrinth is also conceivable.

In addition, a combination of the item of clothing with static fastening means is also possible, for example with Velcro fasteners, snap fasteners, but also with magnets or magnetizable bodies. In the case of the static fastening means, the play figure can only be attached to the place provided for it, at which the fastening means is located, without, however, being displaced relative to the item of clothing.

Another design option consists in the fact that several static fasteners in a row

be attached so that the toy figure can be moved as if on a path from point to point and thus from static fastening means to the next, by loosening and reattaching it, but not moving it fluently.

In different embodiments of the invention, different implementations of the pocket are also possible. One possibility is to attach another piece of textile to the playing surface or below the playing surface.

In addition, it is conceivable to manufacture the item of clothing from a double layer of fabric and to form the pocket between these two layers of fabric. In the edge areas that are intended to delimit the later pocket, the two layers

be connected to one another, so that the movement element must also continue to be located in the interior space thus formed.

The way in which the bag is designed in detail also depends on the type of garment. Some

Clothing, especially winter clothing,

Functional clothing or the like are inherently intended as multi-layered items of clothing, so that this property can be used accordingly to integrate the bag.

A particularly advantageous expansion of the play possibilities is proposed by the play device according to the invention for playing for children, which initially the invention

Has an item of clothing or an item of clothing according to one of the aforementioned exemplary embodiments, but also a Tool like a rod, a magnet or a

Has magnetizable body, wherein at least one game figure is present, which in turn also comprises a magnet or a magnetizable body, so that the

Game figure can be moved with the stick. At this

In a sense, further training becomes independent

Movement element and thus offers a special extension of the play possibilities, since the movement possibilities over the

Game interface are no longer restricted. At the same time, the magnetic holding force can also be used to attach the stick to the item of clothing, with the item of clothing also being able to clamp between the stick and the playing figure, so that the stick can easily be moved and transported on the body as part of an entire game device.

Representation of the exemplary embodiments:

Embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings and are given below with further details

Details and advantages explained in more detail. Show in detail:

Figure 1: a schematic representation of an item of clothing according to the invention,

Figure 2: a schematic section through the pocket of the

Garment according to Figure 1,

Figure 3: a schematic representation of part of a

Game device according to the invention, as well as

FIG. 4: a schematic representation of a playing figure for use in connection with the invention.

Figure 1 shows an item of clothing 1 according to the invention, here in the form of a T-shirt, in which the front as

Playing surface 2 is formed. On the playing surface 2 3 movable fastening devices are provided, namely a pocket 3, which is not itself movable, but a

Has moving element 4 in the form of a magnetic plate, which in turn is located in the interior of the pocket 3. In addition, a pendulum 5 serving as a liana is provided, which here is detachably fastened to the playing surface 2 via a Velcro fastener 6. On the moving element 5 in turn is a

Game figure 7 clamped. This game figure 7 has in their

Extremities built-in magnets or magnetizable

Metal body on so that both arms or front feet

can be clamped together. In this way, the playing figure 7 can in turn be attached to the moving element 5, which is in the form of a pendulum, while holding it. A similar

Game figure 8 is also provided in the area of the pocket 3 and there releasably hangs on the movement element 4, which in turn is located in the interior of the pocket 3 and is not visible from the outside. The playing figure 7 can be moved while hanging on the pendulum 5, while the playing figure 8 can be guided over the area which is defined by the pocket 3 and which makes up part of the playing surface 2.

In the lower area of the item of clothing 1 there is also a guide rail 9 which is permanently attached (sewn) to the playing surface 2 in its end areas.

A bead made of a magnetizable body 10 is threaded onto the guide rail 9. A toy figure 11, in which a magnet is integrated in an arm, hangs on this bead 10, which also represents a movement element, so that it can be releasably attached to the bead 10 can.

Several static fasteners 15 in the form of

Velcro fasteners form a path along which a game figure can be guided or attached with Velcro fasteners.

A schematic section through the pocket 3 is shown in FIG. To form the pocket 3, another layer of fabric 12 is attached to the back of the playing surface 2. In the lower area of the pocket 3, the layer of fabric 12 is connected to the back of the playing surface 2 via a fixed connection 13, in which the two are sewn together. In the upper area, in turn, both layers are detachably connected to one another via a Velcro fastener 14, so that the

Movement element 4 can also be removed. Furthermore, a game figure 8 is provided, which is already shown in FIG. 1 and has an extremity in which a magnet 14 is in turn

is implemented, adheres to the moving element 4. Outwardly, however, this happens "invisibly", since neither the magnet 14 nor the movement element 4 as a magnetizable body are visible outwardly. Depending on how great the frictional forces are, the moving element 4 can also fall down within the pocket 3 due to the force of gravity. Since the movement element 4 is not visible from the outside, the pocket can, for example, also be triangular (with the point downwards) in the lower area at the seam 13, so that the movement element 4 can be designed to the deepest point without any other force due to its weight the bag slips and can easily be found there from the outside.

In order to be able to improve the play possibilities even further, a play device according to FIG. 3 can be provided. Figure 3 shows an expansion option in which the game figure 8 is held on the surface 2, but not in the area of the pocket 3 or via a movement element 4, but via a separate rod 20, inside which there is also a magnet or a magnetizable body 21 is located. The playing figure 8 can thus be held or moved in the same way as in FIG. With this supplementary option according to FIG. 3, however, the playing figure 8 is guided via a

separate rod, for example from the carrier of the

Garment is moved.

In Figure 4, in turn, there is an expansion option

which relates to a game figure 30. To this

Game figure 30 (here designed as a dog) is additionally provided a game figure 31 in the form of a chewing bone. In the

Bones 31, a magnetizable body or a magnet 32 are introduced; Likewise, there is a corresponding magnet or a magnetizable body 33 in the game figure 30. Due to the force of attraction between the two game figures 30 and 31, not only the game figures attract, but the game figure 31 as a bone comes directly into the area of the snout of the Game figure 30 and thus has the effect that the bone 31 is snapped by the dog 30. All the exemplary embodiments and developments of the invention have in common that a game figure and a movable

Fastening device are provided, wherein the movable fastening device can be connected to the item of clothing or integrated therein and is movable relative to the item of clothing or the playing surface. The movable one

Fastening device can also be movably mounted

Have moving element. The character can be attached to the

movable fastening device and or releasably attached to the moving element of the movable fastening device. The garment thus forms part of a

three-dimensional game landscape in which game characters

can be moved three-dimensionally in the area of the garment.
