Description
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
[0001] 1) Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a Weight-Loss Clothing made
from Fabrics mixed with Neoprene and Bio-Ceramics which is designed
to reduce the weight of users. The neoprene used as one of
materials to make the present invention is processed with an
anti-bacterial treatment to provide sanitation to the user, in
addition to an excellent weight-loss effect. More specifically, the
present invention reduces the fat and waste materials contained in
the human body, providing a weight-loss effect without giving any
harmful effects to the people who wear it.
[0003] 2) Discussion of Related Art
[0004] Over the years, the number of people having problems with
their obesity has been on the rise continuously due mainly to their
eating of high-calorie food and lack of exercise, consequently
causing a variety of diseases. A lot of weight-loss technologies
and methods are introduced on the market, and one of the most
effective and popular methods of losing weight is sweating off
either through exercise or other available methods. Since a lot of
exercise is required for one to sweat off, a variety of exercise
clothing or sportswear that help the users to sweat off with as the
least amount of exercise as possible, preventing the air and
moisture from coming out of the body of the users, have been
introduced on the market.
[0005] However, such kinds of sportswear or exercising clothing are
made from either vinyl or air-tightened synthetic materials that
their touch is not good and they create allergy to the skin of the
users when they wear them during the exercise, especially when they
sweat a lot within a short period of time or when they wear them
for a long time. Another disadvantage of the conventional
sportswear or exercising clothing is that they are not tightly
fitted to the body of the users so that the amount of sweat is not
high enough to effectively lose weight since the heat and moisture
from the bodies of the users are easily discharged through the
loosened portion of the sportswear or exercising clothing. Also,
those sportswear or exercising clothing available on the market
cover the whole part of the body of the user as an outwear to
achieve a high weight-loss effect so that they cannot be made or
worn as a bra or one-pieced suit such as women's swimming suit as
an innerwear. Therefore, users of such sportswear or exercising
clothing cannot wear them during their normal activities or at
their work.
[0006] Materials used to manufacture such sportswear or exercising
clothing are either vinyl or polyester-mixed synthetic fibers that
cannot absorb the sweat discharged from the body of user. In order
to solve such problems, some sportswear manufacturers or exercising
clothing manufacturers introduced new technologies such as
dry-coating, wet-coating or laminating to provide permeability to
such synthetic fabrics. However, they still could not satisfy the
users, especially when they sweat a lot within a short period of
time.
[0007] According to the conventional technologies that provide
absorption function on the synthetic fabrics, a proper amount of
solvent is provided on the padded synthetic fabrics and squeezed to
a specific level of pick-up rate (60.about.100%). However, fabrics
made according to this method have absorption capability on both
inner and outer side of the fabrics so that their water-proof
capability decreases. Some sportswear or exercising clothing
manufacturers introduced similar kinds of synthetic fabrics coated
with poly-urethane resin according to the dry-type, wet-type or
laminating coating method to provide the permeability function,
discharging the sweat of the user through the clothing. However,
they cannot still provide as similar absorption or permeability
capabilities as the natural fabrics such as cotton so that people
who wear such sportswear or exercising clothing feel uncomfortable,
especially when they sweat a lot within a short period of time.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
[0008] In order to solve the aforementioned problems, the present
invention is a Weight-Loss Clothing made from Fabrics mixed with
Neoprene and Bio-Ceramics which is designed to reduce the weight of
users. The primary objectives of the present invention are to
provide an excellent weight-loss effect and pleasant feeling to the
users, without giving any harmful effects to their skin. To achieve
these objectives, the present invention is designed to effectively
discharge the sweat and humidity through the micro-pores provided
on the present invention. Also, the present invention is made from
a high weight-loss-effect anti-bacterial neoprene mixed with
bio-ceramics and other fibers. Unlike other sportswear or
exercising clothing of the same kind available on the market, the
present invention provides the user a good feeling, protects the
user's skin from allergy and effectively discharges the sweat of
the user out of the present invention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0009] FIG. 1 is a section of the weight-loss clothing according to
the present invention.
[0010] FIG. 2 shows another section of the weight-loss clothing
according to the present invention.
[0011] FIG. 3 shows overall view of the weight-loss clothing
according to the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0012] The functions and structure of the present invention as
depicted in the drawings are as follows: The present invention
comprises: an outer layer made from spandex; an inner layer made
from cotton, or polyester, or nylon; and a medium layer, between
the said outer layer and inner layer, mixed with anti-bacterial
neoprene and bio-ceramics.
[0013] In order to achieve a high absorption and permeability
capabilities, micro-pores are provided on the present invention so
that the user may feel comfortable during and after exercise while
achieving an excellent weight-loss result, without having any
harmful effects to his/her skin.
[0014] The outer layer comprise spandex fabric which has a high
elastic capability that it prevents the body heat of the user from
discharging out of the present invention. Accordingly, the user who
wears the present invention can discharge a lot of sweat and have
excellent weight-loss effect. The said medium layer properly
tightens the body of user to help shape his/her body. The
presenting invention is washable with the washing machine, and the
said spandex is made from poly-urethane to achieve the highest
weight-loss effects of the present invention. Although any types of
fabrics may be used for the said inner layer, fabrics that do not
cause allergy to the skin of user are used preferably.
[0015] Referring now to FIG. 1 which shows a section of the present
invention, the present invention comprises: an outer layer (10)
made from spandex; a medium layer (30) made from anti-bacterial
neoprene and bio-ceramics; and an inner layer (20) made from
polyester, or cotton, or nylon.
[0016] Referring now to FIG. 2 which shows a section of the present
invention from a different view, micro pores (40) are provided on
the said medium layer (30) to enhance the permeability capability
of the present invention. The feeling of the present invention may
be enhanced if cotton is used for the said inner layer (20) that
contacts the skin of user.
[0017] Referring now to FIG. 3 which shows the overall exterior
view of the present invention, the shape of present invention may
be made into a variety of types of clothing such as one-pieced
swimming suit, pants, bras and other types of clothing.
Accordingly, the user of the present may shape the whole or a part
of his/her body when he/she wears the present invention in all
his/her activities including during exercise since the spandex used
for the present invention properly tightens the body of the user,
in addition to the weigh-loss effect.
