Description
- This invention relates to the field of clothing. More particularly, this invention relates to clothing with padding or padded structures
- There are number padding structures available that are used to distribute a bearing load, such as on shoulder a strap. Also, there are padding structures that are designed to reduce effects of an impact to a portion of a body that can result, for example as a result of collision. Padding structures also have a variety uses in clothing articles. For example, padding structures are used in shoes to cushion feet while standing, walking or running. Padding structures are also used for a variety or cosmetic application, either alone or in combination with an article of clothing. For example, padding structures are often used in the shoulder regions of a coat to provide shape or form to the shoulder regions of the coat while the coat is being worn.
- Prior art padding structures suffer from a number or shortcomings. Prior art padding structures are usually formed from cloth, foam or a combination thereof and do not look or feel natural. Further, such padding structures do not conform readily conform to a variety or body contours or curvatures. Also, these padding structures can become lumpy, deformed, compressed and/or displaced after wearing or washing the padding structure or the article of clothing to which padding structures are attached to. Accordingly, these padding structures do not look or feel uniform.
- Liquid or gel-based padding structures have fluidity and readily conform to contours and curvatures of the body. The weight of liquid or gel-based padding structures often make their use as structures in clothing prohibitive and their cost to manufacture can be very high. Also, such liquid or gel-based padding structures are subject to puncture and leakage. Accordingly, there is a continued need for padding structures that easily conforms to the contours or curvatures of the body. Preferably, such padding structures remain supple and hold their form even after several uses, deformations and/or washes. Preferably, these padding structures are light weight and can be readily integrated into clothing, such as coats, pants, shirts, blouses, swim wear, bras, underwear, socks and the like.
- The present invention is directed to a padded article with a padding structure. The padded article is preferably an article of clothing with one or more padding structures couple to a clothing body. The clothing body and the padding structures can be formed from any suitable material, but are preferably formed from flexible materials that are molded, woven or a combination thereof and are fashioned to conform to contours of a human body; in other words, the article of clothing is preferably a fitted article of clothing. For example, the clothing body is fashioned as a coat, a pair of pants, a shirt, a blouse, swim-wear, a bra, underwear, socks or any other clothing garment. Alternatively, the article of clothing can be fashioned as a blanket, a wrap, a shawl or the like.
- In accordance with the embodiments of the invention, a padding region or regions on the article of clothing comprise a padding structures with one or more pouches that encapsulate free micro-beads. Free micro-beads, herein refers to dry micro-beads-bead that are not combined with an oil, wax, silicone, polymer or any other binder materials and wherein, the micro-beads can readily deform and conform to different contours or curvatures of a human body to provide support and/or form to the area of a body without some of the aforementioned shortcomings.
- In accordance with the embodiments of the invention, padding structures are glued, sewn or otherwise permanently secured to one or more padding regions of a clothing body. In accordance with alternative embodiments of the invention, the one or more padding structures are configured to detachably couple to one or more padding regions of a clothing body through attachment features. For example, padding structures comprising encapsulated micro-beads are configured to slip into for fit into a sleeve or pocket located on the clothing body. In addition to, or alternatively to sleeves and/or pockets, a padding structure can be configured to detachably couple to a clothing body using any number of other attaching features know in the art including, but not limited to, snap features, hook features, button features, hook and loop fabric features and combination thereof.
- The micro-beads utilized in the present invention can be formed from any number of materials or combinations of materials, including acrylic, polystyrene, alumina and silica. Preferably, the micro-beads are formed from polystyrene and have an average size in a range of 0.5 to 500 microns and provide a sensation, a feeling or a physical characteristic of fluidity.
- In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, an article of clothing is a bra with cups for supporting breasts and with one or more strap members for securing the cups a body. The cups, and/or other portions of the bra, are at least partially padded with one or more padding structures comprising free micro-beads, such as described above. The cups and/or other portions of the bra can be padded with padding structures that are permanently fitted and secured to the bra or are, alternatively, configured to detachably couple to the cups and/or other portions of the bra, such as described above.
- In accordance with further embodiments of the invention, padding structures comprising encapsulated free micro-beads are configured as shoe inserts for placing inside of shoes, including casual shoes, dress shoes, running shoes, hiking boots or any other footwear, to provide light weight padding and/or support to feet while standing, walking running or hiking. Also, padding structures in accordance with the embodiments of the invention can be built into the interior of shoes or other footwear to provide padding and/or support while standing, walking running or hiking.
