Fabric Inserts To Eliminate Restriction of Movement In Clothing

Abstract

The present disclosure is designed to prevent inhibition of range of motion that may arise from wearing inadequate clothing during activities. The embodiments disclosed herein allow a wearer to experience a full range of motion within, around and by the muscles, tendons and joints by placing fabric inserts at key areas, known as anchor points, on clothing. The stretch capacity of the fabric of the clothing and inserts is factored with the wearer's measurements and desired range of motion to maximize the wearer's range of motion during all activity.

         2 . A pair of leggings comprising a first fabric having at least one front portion and at least one back portion, the at least one front portion having a top portion and a bottom portion, the top portion and the bottom portion are connected by a second fabric wherein the second fabric has a greater stretch capacity than a stretch capacity of the first fabric. 
     
     
         3 . The pair of leggings of  claim 2 , where the second fabric is located above an area designed to cover a knee of a wearer. 
     
     
         4 . The pair of leggings of  claim 2 , where the at least one front portion and at least one back portion comprise two front portions and two back portions. 
     
     
         5 . The pair of leggings of  claim 4 , wherein one of the two front portions is on a left side of the pair of leggings and the other front portion is on a right side of the pair of leggings. 
     
     
         6 . The pair of leggings of  claim 5 , further comprising a third fabric on an opposite side of the second fabric. 
     
     
         7 . The pair of leggings of  claim 6 , wherein the third fabric has a different stretch capacity then the second fabric and the third fabric has a greater stretch capacity than the first fabric. 
     
     
         8 . The pair of leggings of  claim 5 , wherein two pieces of the second fabric are each located between each of the two top portions and each of the two bottom portions.

         11 . The pair of leggings of  claim 2 , wherein the second fabric is located in a crotch area. 
     
     
         12 . The pair of leggings of  claim 2 , wherein the second fabric is located at a center of a back of a waistline. 
     
     
         13 . The pair of leggings of  claim 2 , wherein the second fabric is located at one or more of: a crotch, a center of a back of a waistline, and above an area designed to cover the knee. 
     
     
         14 . A piece of clothing having at least a first fabric with a first stretch capacity and at least a second fabric with a second stretch capacity comprising the first stretch capacity of the first fabric being greater than the second stretch capacity of the second fabric and the first fabric being located over at least one golgi tendon organ of a wearer wherein the at least one golgi tendon organ is sensitized to movement of the wearer without creating inhibitory signals based on the second stretch capacity of the second fabric. 
     
     
         15 . A piece of clothing having at least a first fabric with a first stretch capacity and at least a second fabric with a second stretch capacity comprising the first stretch capacity of the first fabric being less than the second stretch capacity of the second fabric and the first fabric being located over at least one golgi tendon organ of a wearer wherein the golgi tendon organ is de-sensitized to movement of the wearer. 
     
     
         16 . The piece of clothing of  claim 14  wherein the at least one golgi tendon organ is sensitized to movement of the wearer without creating inhibitory signals based on the first stretch capacity of the first fabric. 
     
     
         17 . The piece of clothing of  claim 14  wherein the piece of clothing comprises one of leggings, pants, sweat pants, ski apparel, shorts, jackets, long-sleeved shirts, short-sleeved shirts, undershirts, underwear and gloves. 
     
     
         18 . The piece of clothing of  claim 15  wherein the piece of clothing comprises one of leggings, pants, sweat pants, ski apparel, shorts, jackets, long-sleeved shirts, short-sleeved shirts, undershirts, underwear and gloves.

         21 . The pair of leggings of  claim 2  wherein the stretch capacity of each of the first fabric, the second fabric and the third fabric is determined based on a classification of a range of motion of a wearer of the pair of leggings. 
     
     
         22 . The pair of leggings of  claim 21  wherein the stretch capacity of each of the first fabric, the second fabric and the third fabric is further determined based on one or more specific activities to be performed while wearing the pair of leggings. 
     
     
         23 . The pair of leggings of  claim 2  wherein a size of each fabric is determined based on measurements of a wearer's body. 
     
     
         24 . The pair of leggings of  claim 23  wherein the measurements of the wearer's body are obtained through digital scanning.
