METHOD OF AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING A LOW DRAG GARMENT

摘要

A method of providing a garment with low aerodynamic drag for an individual person includes providing a database containing data relating to the aerodynamic performance of a plurality of garments when worn by a plurality of persons having different adopted body shapes, determining the adopted body shape of the individual person, and entering data relating to the adopted body shape of the individual person into a computer. The database is interrogated to identify a set of aerodynamic performance data relating to garments worn by a person having a similar adopted body shape to the individual person. The computer compares the aerodynamic performance data of the garments in the identified data set, selects from the identified data set a garment having a relatively low aerodynamic drag, looks up in the database the characteristics of the selected garment, and uses at least some of the characteristics of the selected garment to provide a garment for the individual person.

主权项

1. A method of providing a garment with low aerodynamic drag for an individual person, the method comprising (a) providing a database comprising data relating to (i) a plurality of different adopted body shapes and (ii) one or more garments that provide a low aerodynamic drag with each of the plurality of adopted body shapes, (b) determining an adopted body shape of the individual person, (c) entering data relating to the adopted body shape of the individual person into a computer, (d) interrogating the database by means of the computer and identifying from the plurality of adopted body shapes at least one adopted body shape that is similar to the adopted body shape of the individual person, (e) selecting from the database at least one garment having a low aerodynamic drag with the identified adopted body shape, (f) looking up in the database one or more characteristics of the selected garment, and (g) providing a garment for the individual person that matches one or more characteristics of the selected garment.
