Pair of complementary articles of clothing

Abstract

A pair of complementary articles of clothing, in particular a pair of socks, including first and second complementary articles of clothing that can be detachably connected to each other, wherein the detachable connection is made by first and second complementary connecting elements, which are each fastened to the article of clothing by a carrier element, wherein one of the ends of each carrier element forms a gripping area without a connecting function, so that the connection between the first and the second connecting element can be detached by pulling on the gripping areas of the carrier elements.

1 . A pair of complementary articles of clothing comprising first and second complementary articles of clothing, which can be detachably connected to each other, wherein the detachable connection is made by first and second complementary connecting elements, which are each fastened to the article of clothing by a carrier element, wherein the connecting element is in each case made separately and fastened to the carrier element, wherein one of the ends of each carrier element forms a gripping area without a connecting function, so that the connection between the first and second connecting elements can be detached by pulling on the gripping areas of the carrier elements, and wherein the first and second connecting elements are designed as a push-fit connector with a male element and a female element, wherein the male element engages in a stud-like manner in the female element, characterized in that:
 the first and second connecting elements are each made of plastic in one piece, wherein the male and female elements each comprise a plurality of sections arranged next to each other, or of at least one non-rotationally-symmetrical section so that the first and second connecting elements produce a non-twistable connection between the articles of clothing and, in the connected state of the articles of clothing, the ends of the carrier elements which form the gripping areas remain in a spatial association with respect to each another.   
     
     
         2 . The pair of complementary articles of clothing as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the gripping area is in each case situated at a first end of the carrier element which is arranged in the area of the cuff of the article of clothing, while the connecting element is arranged at the opposite end of the carrier element which is arranged in the area of the article of clothing. 
     
     
         3 . The pair of complementary articles of clothing as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the carrier element comprises a flat element, wherein the carrier element is not folded or wherein two fold sections of the element are folded on top of each another by a fold in the area of the cuff and joined to each another directly or indirectly over their length, wherein the two fold sections encompass the cuff of the article of clothing in the form of a wrap from the inside and outside. 
     
     
         4 . The pair of complementary articles of clothing as claimed in  claim 2  wherein the carrier element comprises a flat element, wherein the carrier element is not folded or wherein two fold sections of the element are folded on top of each another by a fold in the area of the cuff and joined to each another directly or indirectly over their length, wherein the two fold sections encompass the cuff of the article of clothing in the form of a wrap from the inside and outside. 
     
     
         5 . The pair of complementary articles of clothing as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the connecting element is integrated in the carrier element, and wherein the carrier element is arranged on the outside of the article of clothing. 
     
     
         6 . The pair of complementary articles of clothing as claimed in  claim 2  wherein the connecting element is integrated in the carrier element, and wherein the carrier element is arranged on the outside of the article of clothing. 
     
     
         7 . The pair of complementary articles of clothing as claimed in  claim 3  wherein the connecting element is integrated in the carrier element, and wherein the carrier element is arranged on the outside of the article of clothing. 
     
     
         8 . The pair of complementary articles of clothing as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the complementary articles of clothing are a pair of socks.
