- The present invention will be understood and appreciated more fully from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 is an illustration of a jacket constructed and operative in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIGS. 2A-2D are respective back and top views of the jacket ofFIG. 1 in a first and second operative orientation; -
FIG. 3 is an illustration of a jacket constructed and operative in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIGS. 4A-4D are respective back and top views of the jacket ofFIG. 3 in a first and second operative orientation; -
FIG. 5 is an illustration of a jacket constructed and operative in accordance with yet another preferred embodiment of the present invention; and -
FIGS. 6A-6D are respective back and top views of the jacket ofFIG. 5 in a first and second operative orientation. - Reference is now made to
FIG. 1 , which illustrates a jacket constructed and operative in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As seen inFIG. 1 , there is provided a jacket of conventional outer appearance having ajacket body 100 to which are attachedsleeves 102. - It is a particular feature of the present invention that, unseen from the outside, there is provided an instrument, preferably made of fabric, as a medium between the sleeve and the body. In the figure, the instrument is ventilating
band 104. Stretchablecircumferential ventilating band 104 is preferably attached between a lining of the jacket body, here designated byreference numeral 106 and lining of the sleeve, here designated byreference numeral 108, around the sleeve or any portion of the circumferential seem between the sleeve and the body. It is a particular feature of the present invention that at least in an underarm region, designated byreference numeral 110, and preferably along its entire circumference, generally theventilating band 104 is not overlaid by lining, thus providing a high degree of ventilation through the suiting fabric, as indicated diagrammatically byarrows 112. - Turning specifically to the enlarged portion of
FIG. 1 , it is seen that in a preferred arrangement the stretchablecircumferential ventilating band 104, which is preferably formed of an open knit or woven fabric formed of LYCRA®, is relatively broad adjacent the top of the shoulder, as indicated atarrow 114 and tapers down to be relatively narrow in the underarm region, designated byreference numeral 110. - One circumferential edge of
band 104, designated byreference numeral 116, is joined to a corresponding circumferential edge ofjacket body lining 106, while an opposite circumferential edge ofband 104, designated byreference numeral 118, is joined to a corresponding circumferential edge ofsleeve lining 108 and to the seam of the suiting fabric, designated byreference numeral 120, at which the suiting fabric of thesleeve 102 is joined to the suiting fabric of thejacket body 100. It is noted that preferablyband 104 is not joined to ashoulder pad 122, underlying the suiting fabric of thejacket body 100 and is not joined to the suiting fabric other than atseam 120. - It is appreciated that in another embodiment of the present invention the stretchable
circumferential ventilating band 104 may be replaced by a ventilating band formed of a fabric which allows for a higher degree of ventilation through the suiting fabric than thejacket body lining 106 and thesleeve lining 108. - Reference is now made to
FIGS. 2A-2D , which illustrate another important feature of the jacket described hereinabove, as illustrated inFIG. 1 . For the sake of convenience and conciseness, identical reference numerals are used where applicable. It is seen from a consideration ofFIGS. 2A-2D , that when the jacket ofFIG. 1 is worn in a generally “arms-down” orientation, as shown inFIGS. 2A and 2B , the width of theband 104 at the top back of the shoulder is X1 and the width of theband 104 at the forward underarm region is Y1, where Y1<X1. - When the wearer changes the orientation of his arms, so as to bring his arms together, as shown in
FIGS. 2C and 2D , the width of theband 104 at the top back of the shoulder becomes X2, where X2<X1 and the width of theband 104 at the forward underarm region becomes Y2, where Y2>Y1. This illustrates the flexibility and resiliency of the structure of the jacket in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. - Reference is now made to
FIG. 3 , which illustrates a jacket constructed and operative in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention. As seen inFIG. 3 , theband 104, shown inFIGS. 1-2D , can be replaced by a stretchableventilating portion 130 which is preferably formed of an open knit or woven fabric formed of LYCRA®.Stretchable ventilating portion 130 is preferably attached between a lining of the jacket body, here designated byreference numeral 136 and a lining of the sleeve, here designated byreference numeral 138, in a region, designated byreference numeral 139, extending from theunderarm region 110 upwards partially towards the shoulder and encompassing a front and back region of a band, similar to thecircumferential ventilating band 104 shown inFIGS. 1-2D , but not extending completely to the shoulder. - It is appreciated that in another embodiment of the present invention the stretchable
ventilating portion 130 may be replaced by a ventilating band formed of a fabric which allows for a higher degree of ventilation through the suiting fabric than thejacket body lining 136 and thesleeve lining 138. - Reference is now made to
FIGS. 4A-4D , which illustrate another important feature of the jacket described hereinabove, as illustrated inFIG. 3 . It is seen from a consideration ofFIGS. 4A-4D , that when the jacket ofFIG. 3 is worn in a generally “arms-down” orientation, as shown inFIGS. 4A and 4B , the width of thestretchable ventilating portion 130 at the top ofregion 139 is X1 and the width of thestretchable ventilating portion 130 at the bottom region ofregion 139 is Y1, where Y1<X1. - When the wearer changes the orientation of his arms, so as to bring his arms together, as shown in
FIGS. 4C and 4D , the width of thestretchable ventilating portion 130 at the top ofregion 139 becomes X2, where X2<X1 and the width of thestretchable ventilating portion 130 at the bottom region ofregion 139 becomes Y2, where Y2>Y1. This illustrates the flexibility and resiliency of the structure of the jacket in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. - Reference is now made to
FIG. 5 , which illustrates a jacket constructed and operative in accordance with yet another preferred embodiment of the present invention. As seen inFIG. 5 , theband 104, shown inFIGS. 1-2D , can be replaced by astretchable ventilating portion 140.Stretchable ventilating portion 140 is preferably attached between lining of the jacket body, here designated byreference numeral 146 and lining of the sleeve, here designated byreference numeral 148 in theunderarm region 110. - It is appreciated that in another embodiment of the present invention the
stretchable ventilating portion 140 may be replaced by a ventilating band formed of a fabric which allows for a higher degree of ventilation through the suiting fabric than the jacket body lining 146 and thesleeve lining 148. - Reference is now made to
FIGS. 6A-6D , which illustrate another important feature of the jacket described hereinabove, as illustrated inFIG. 5 . It is seen from a consideration ofFIGS. 6A-6D , that when the jacket ofFIG. 5 is worn in a generally “arms-down” orientation, as shown inFIGS. 6A and 6B , the width of thestretchable ventilating portion 140 at the top of the underarm region is X1 and the width of thestretchable ventilating portion 140 at the bottom underarm region is Y1, where Y1<X1. - When the wearer changes the orientation of his arms, so as to bring his arms together, as shown in
FIGS. 6C and 6D , the width of thestretchable ventilating portion 140 at the top of the underarm region becomes X2, where X2<X1 and the width of thestretchable ventilating portion 140 at the bottom underarm region becomes Y2, where Y2>Y1. This illustrates the flexibility and resiliency of the structure of the jacket in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. - It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to what has been particularly shown and described hereinabove. Rather the scope of the present invention includes both combinations and subcombinations of the various features described hereinabove as well as modifications and variations thereof as would occur to a person of skill in the art upon reading the foregoing specification and which are not in the prior art.
