Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a protective garment having improved access, and more particularly to a water sport garment providing protection from cold water and having an improved access system for entry into or exit from the garment.
  • BACKGROUND Garments that provide protection for an individual's body have existed in some form for many years as cold environmental conditions can quickly drain a body of heat.
  • These protective garments generally provide protection in two ways: shielding the body from elements of the cold conditions, such as a shell limiting the ability of a cold breeze to reach a person, and insulating a body from cold temperatures. Because water has a very high thermal conductivity, cold water can be especially dangerous since it can quickly chill a person by stripping away body heat. This is particularly of concern when the exposure to water includes partial or total submersion in the water. In these circumstances, traditional cold weather protective garments are generally ineffective in protecting the person because the water saturates them, which compromises their insulative properties.
  • first type of garment acts to seal the water away from the body so that other warm clothing can provide insulation without becoming wet.
  • An example of this type of garment is a dry suit.
  • the second type of garment works by allowing a small layer of water to enter between the garment and the person's body and then trapping the small layer of water so that it can be heated and provide a warm layer next to the person's body.
  • An example of this type of garment is a wetsuit.
  • Dry suits typically use tight seals on the wrists and neck of the suit to prevent water from entering the space between the suit and the body of the person. These suits can further use incorporated foot booties or have additional tight seals around the ankles to prevent water from entering the space between the suit and the body of the person.
  • the dry suit itself generally includes water impermeable material such as a synthetic rubber and sealed access zippers.
  • zippers do not provide as effective a seal as the water impermeable material, the use of zippers is generally minimized as much as possible (such as a single zipper going across the upper torso from shoulder area to shoulder area), which can make donning a dry suit a difficult chore.
  • the seals around the open parts of the suit must restrict the access of water, they are generally difficult to fit through.
  • wetsuits typically allow some water to enter the space between the suit and the body of the person wearing the suit and then trap that water in the space between the wetsuit and the person's body.
  • most wetsuits include a synthetic rubber material such as neoprene. This synthetic rubber provides some repcllency protection from the environmental conditions, but also helps insulate an individual from the cold water by trapping a thin layer of water next to an individual's body. The thin layer of water can be heated by the body and provide a warm layer next to the individual's body.
  • wetsuits are typically tight fitting so that there is only a small layer of water next to the body to heat, and have constrictive areas of material around the arm and leg cuffs to help trap this thin layer of water next to the body.
  • wetsuits depends on this tight fit and constrictive cuffs, they can be very difficult to enter into or exit from, especially because most wetsuits only have a single zipper running from the neck opening of the suit to the mid section area on the front or back of the suit.
  • the SUMMARY Embodiments of the present invention provide a water sport protective garment having improved access and being structured to effectively protect a person wearing the garment from cold water when the person is at least partially submerged in the cold water.
  • the water sport protective garment includes a torso portion, pant-leg portions extending from the torso portion, and non-openable sleeve portions extending from the torso portion.
  • the garment further includes at least one opcnable seam extending from the torso portion down each of the pant-leg portions such that when the openable seam is opened a section of the torso portion and sections of the leg portions can be displaced.

  • embodiments of the present invention are directed to a water sport garment providing protection from cold water and having an improved access system for entry into or exit from the garment.
  • water sport protective garment is used to describe the garment that is the subject of the present invention. Although this garment may be embodied in many different forms, two of the most common methods of structuring water sport protective garments are as wetsuits and dry suits. It will be noted below in the discussion of the exemplary embodiments of the present invention if a certain embodiment is particularly well suited for either of these types of protective garments.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 illustrate front views of a water sport protective garment according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates a first front view of the protective garment 100 in a closed state
  • Fig. 2 illustrates a second front view of the protective garment 100 in an open state.
  • this exemplary embodiment may be implemented in several t ⁇ pes of garments, it may be particularly well suited as a wetsuit because of the lack of sealing around the neck area.
  • a protective garment 100 includes a torso portion 110, sleeve portions 120, and pant-leg portions 130.
  • the sleeve portions 110 are integrated with the torso portion 1 10 and extend from the torso portion 110 to sleeve-ends 125.
  • the sleeve-ends 125 may just be the end of the sleeve material and simply hemmed. However, the sleeve-ends 125 may also include separate material attached to the sleeve material.
  • the sleeve-ends 125 may also be formed to have a cuff of thicker material.
  • Sleeve seals 128 may be arranged at the sleeve-ends 125 so as to be integrated with the sleeve-ends 125. Additional details about the sleeve seals 128 are discussed below with respect to Fig. 3c.
  • the pant-leg portions 130 are also integrated with the torso portion 110 and extend from the torso portion 110 to pant-ends 135. Similar to the sleeve-ends 125, the pant-ends 135 may just be the end of the pant-leg material or include separate material attached to and integrated with the pant-leg material. Further, the pant-end 135 may have a hemmed finish or be formed in a cuff arrangement. Additionally, the pant-leg portions 130 may extend only a short distance from the torso portion, such as extending a small distance down the upper leg of a person wearing the protective garment 100, or they may extend for a relatively long distance, such as down to the ankle of a person wearing the protective garment 100.
  • the torso portion 1 10 has a front section, a back section, and side sections. Additionally, the torso portion 110 has an upper section that includes a neck opening 1 15 and a lower section.
  • the sleeve portions 120 extend from the upper section of the torso portion 1 10 and the pant-leg portions 130 extend from the lower section of the torso portion 110.
  • the torso portion 110. the sleeve portions 120. and the pant-leg portions 130 may include a material that is water impermeable. This material may be a synthetic rubber, such as neoprene.
  • the system by which the protective garment 100 illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 may be accessed includes a plurality of openable seams that extend from the neck opening 1 15 of the torso portion 1 10 to the pant-ends 135 of the pant-leg portions 130.
  • the openable seams may include a first zipper track 150 operable with a first zipper 155 and a second zipper track 151 operable with a second zipper 156.
  • the use of the term "zipper” may refer to a zipper track, a zipper slider, or both mechanisms.
  • the openable seam is embodied as a zipper in these embodiments, any type of resealable continuous closure mechanism may be used.
  • the first zipper track 150 extends from the neck opening 115 down a first one of the pant-leg portions 130 to a first one of the pant- ends 135 and the second zipper track 151 extends from the neck opening 115 down a second one of the pant-leg portions 130 to a second one of the pant-ends 135.
  • the zippers 155 and 156 are respectively operable along the first and second zipper tracks 150 and 151 to provide access to the protective garment 100.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates the protective garment 100 in a closed state. That is, the zippers 155 and 156 are operated to fully engage the zipper tracks 150 and 151.
  • the zippers 155 and 156 may be configured to be fully engaged when they are near the neck opening 115 as illustrated in Fig.
  • zippers 155 and 156 may comprise a dual zipper configuration where each zipper track 150 and 151 has two sliders operating on it. This dual zipper configuration may allow for additional flexibility in providing access to the protective garment 100.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the protective garment 100 in an open state. That is, the zippers 155 and 156 are operated to fully disengage the zipper tracks 150 and 151.
  • a section of the torso portion 110 and sections of the pant-leg portions 130 may be displaced to ease entry into and exit from the protective garment 100.
  • a child or person with limited mobility may easily step into the protective garment, put their arms through the sleeve portions 120, and zip up the zippers 155 and 156. These steps may also be carried out with the help of an assistant such as a parent or friend.
  • the zippers 155 and 156 fully disengage the pant-leg portions 130 such that the pant-ends 135 open, a child or person with limited mobility may be laid in the protective garment 100 , insert their amis in the sleeve portions 120, and have an assistant engage the zippers 155 and 156 to zip up the protective garment 100.
  • the sleeve portions 120 of the protective garment 110 do not open. That is, the sleeve portions 120 do not have a separate zipper access system. This is in part because as mentioned above, zippers or other openable seams tend to let in more water than the insulativc material itself. Second, zippers can be more costly to implement than just providing fully formed sleeves. Also, children and people with limited mobility generally have an easier time guiding their arms and hands through sleeves than in donning a complete tight fitting garment because they are generally used to inserting their arms through sleeves. Additionally, the sleeves may be formed to fit more loosely on the person and then have cinching mechanisms (discussed with respect to Figs. 5a-5d) that can help tighten the fit after the person has inserted their arms into the sleeve portions 120.
  • Figs. 3a-3c illustrate detailed views of embodiments of the pant-ends and sleeve ends.
  • Fig. 3 a illustrates a detail view of a pant-end according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • each pant-end 235 may be structured so that the zipper track 250 extends to the end of the fabric.
  • the zipper 255 may fully disengage the zipper track 250 such that the pant-end 235 completely opens up.
  • the configuration of this embodiment may have the advantage of allowing access to persons that may have difficulty guiding their legs through a tight cuff or seal, such as a young child or a person with limited mobility in their legs.
  • Fig. 3b illustrates a detail view of a pant-end according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to the embodiment illustrated in Fig. 3b, each pant-end 335 may be structured so that the zipper track 350 does not extend to the end of the fabric.
  • the pant-end 335 remains partially closed even when the zipper track 350 is completely disengaged.
  • Each pant-end 335 may also have a pant-leg seal 338 integrally formed with the pant-end 335.
  • the pant-leg seal 338 may include a rubber or synthetic rubber gasket that limits or completely prevents water from entering the protective garment. In a wetsuit configuration, this seal 338 may also help prevent the thin layer of warmed water from leaving or interchanging with new cold water.
  • the configuration of this embodiment may have the advantage of providing improved sealing functionality and improved warmth. Also, this embodiment may be easier to operate with children that squirm or move while the suit is being donned. That is, it can be very difficult to engage a zipper that is on two separate sections of material, especially when one or both of the sections of material is being displaced by a moving body.
  • Fig. 3c illustrates a detail view of a sleeve-end and sleeve seal according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • each sleeve portion 120 may have a sleeve seal 128 integrally formed with the sleeve-end 125. Similar to the pant-leg seal 338 shown in Fig. 3b, the sleeve seal 128 may be formed of a separate piece of material and attached to the sleeve-end 125.
  • the sleeve seal 128 may include a rubber or synthetic rubber gasket that limits water from entering the protective garment.
  • a sleeve-seal 128 that completely prevents water from entering the protective garment is necessary for dry suits.

  • the protective garment 400 also includes an access system that features zipper tracks 450 and 451 operable by zippers 455 and 456.
  • the operation of this access system is similar to the one discussed above with respect to the embodiment illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • the slecvc-portions 420 include hand flap folds 480 formed adjacent to the sleeve-ends 425.
  • the hand flap folds 480 may be structured to be able to fold over the corresponding sleeve-ends 425 and sleeve seals 428 if present.
  • the hand flap folds 480 may help improve the overall warmth of the protective garment 400 by protecting the hands of the person wearing the protective garment 400 from direct contact with cold water.
  • Each hand flap fold may be formed by stitching along the sides and end adjacent to the sleeve-end 425 while leaving the end facing the torso portion 410 loose. This arrangement allows the flap to be folded over the sleeve-end 425 to cover the sleeve-end 425.
  • the right sleeve illustrated in Fig. 4 shows the hand flap fold 480 in an unused state, while the left sleeve of the protective garment 400 shows the hand flap fold 480 folded over the sleeve-end 425.
  • the protective garment 400 may also include an integrated hood 470.
  • the hood 470 my be integrally formed with a least a section of the torso portion 410 near the neck opening 415. As a substantial amount of body heat can be lost through the head, a hood 470 may be desirable in situations where the water temperature is especially cold, or there is a likelihood of prolonged exposure to the cold water.
  • the hood 470 may be donned after the person is in the protective garment 400 with the zippers 455 and 456 fully engaged in a closed state. Additionally, the hood 470 may be donned during entry into the protective garment 400.
  • the pant-leg portions 430 of the protective garment may also include booties 490 integrally formed with the pant-ends 435.
  • the booties 490 can be made of a moderately flexible material to fit a variety of foot sizes and may include traction patterns (not shown) on the bottom parts for improved grip while standing or walking.
  • the zipper tracks 450 and 451 do not extend all the way to the integrated booties.
  • a person would have to slip his or her feet into each of the booties, insert their arms into the sleeve portions, and use the zippers 455 and 456 to fully engage the respective zipper tracks 450 and 451.
  • Having integrated booties 490 may be advantageous in providing additional warmth, as a pant-leg cuff or seal is not required, and may be helpful in providing general foot protection without the need for separate footwear.
  • Figs. 5a - 5d illustrate side views of a protective garment showing different configurations of the opcnablc seam according to embodiments of the present invention.

  • the embodiments shown in Figs. 5a -5d illustrate various openable seam or zipper configurations.
  • the embodiments shown in Figs. 5a - 5d include a cinching mechanism 560.
  • the cinching mechanism may allow for a tighter and more customized fit of the wet suit.
  • Cinching mechanisms 560 may be especially useful where the protective garments are made for children because children tend to quickly outgrow garments that have a set limited size.
  • the cinching mechanisms 560 may include fasteners such as Velcro straps, string ties, buttons, loops, cinchable bungee cords, and the like.
  • the openable seams or zippers 550a are formed on a back section or back panel 512 of the torso portion 510 and back sections of the pant-legs 530.
  • the openable seams or zippers 550b are formed on a front section or front panel 511 of the torso portion 510 and a front section of the pant-legs 530.
  • the openable seams or zippers 550b may interfere with a use of the suit, such as in surfing where a person typically paddles out to waves with the front part of their torsos on their surfing boards.

  • This embodiment is shown having two zipper sliders 655 and 656, a single zipper slider configuration is also possible.
  • the openable seam may additionally be a water tight sealed zipper, which is typically used with dry suits to prevent all water from entering the space between the protective garment 600 and the person wearing the protective garment 600.
  • this embodiment is advantageous because a neck seal 617 may be integrally formed with the neck opening 615 such that substantially no water can enter the protective garment 600. This is especially necessary where the protective garment 600 is a dry suit, as all water should be prevented from entering the space between the protective garment 600 and the person. Because of the need for dryness within a dry suit, these types of protective garments 600 require strong gasket seals on all portions of the protective garment 600 that provide a barrier along the skin of the person wearing the protective garment 600.
  • the protective garment 600 may also have integrated booties as shown in the embodiment of Fig. 4. Having described and illustrated the principles of the invention in embodiments thereof, it should be apparent that the invention can be modified in arrangement and detail without departing from such principles, I claim all modifications and variations coming within the spirit and scope of the following claims.
