Abstract
Description
- The present application is a continuation-in-part application of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/981,312, filed Nov. 4, 2004; which, in turn, claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/622,545 entitled “ONE SIZE FITS ALL HAZ-MAT SUIT”, filed on Oct. 27, 2004, the entire content of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention is directed to apparel and, more specifically, to hazardous environment apparel that may be donned by rescue personnel or other individuals prior to entering or while within a potentially hazardous environment.
- 2. Background of the Invention
- For many years, it has been understood that certain chemicals are hazardous to mammalian life and certain instances require mammals, particularly human beings, to be potentially exposed to such chemicals. Therefore, there developed a need for apparel to be donned by humans to reduce the potential exposure to hazardous chemicals. In response, a protective clothing industry evolved from the development of protective clothing such as pants, shirts, hats/hoods, gloves, masks, shoes, and suits.
- Analogous to other forms of clothing, protective clothing can be ordered in one of many sizes to accommodate humans having a particular body shape. In an exemplary instance, a business entity, government body, or other employer has decided to purchase protective suits for its employees. This necessitates the employees providing feedback regarding the size of suit he/she might wear or the employer guesstimating as to the appropriate size and number of suits in a particular size. The latter approach generally involves employers purchasing a range of protective clothing that will result in many unused suits, simply in an attempt by the employer to have a sufficient supply of suits for all employees. For example, a protective suit size “SMALL” will not fit an adult male six feet tall and weighing 300 pounds. Likewise, an “XXXL” suit will be incredibly baggy on a five feet tall female weighing 100 pounds. Thus, there is a need in the industry for a protective suit adaptable to meet the various bodily configurations.
- The present invention is directed to apparel and, more specifically, to hazardous environment apparel that may be donned by rescue personnel or other individuals prior to entering or while within a potentially hazardous environment. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention provides adjustable features incorporated into protective clothing such that a purchaser and/or wearer may obtain a “one size fits all” device. The adjustable features may also be labeled to provide guidance to the wearer as to what degree of adjustment is necessary to simulate a particular body shape. For example, exemplary embodiments of the present invention include a hazardous environment suit having hook and pile (Velcro) adjustable features positioned at various locations on the arms, legs, and/or torso of the suit. The positioning of the adjustable features is coordinated to allow the hook and pile features to interface and configure the length of the legs, arms, and/or torso areas of the suit approximating a standard small, medium, large, extra large, extra extra large, and extra extra extra large suit.
- In one embodiment of the invention, the length/width adjustment fasteners (such as the strips of hook and pile fasteners) are sewn onto a separate strip or tube of moisture barrier material, which is in turn bonded to the moisture barrier material of the suit. Thus, the holes caused by the stitching of the adjustment fasteners to the separate strip or tube do not penetrate the material of the suit itself.
- Other novel features that may be included with certain embodiments of the present invention may include color coding the hook and/or pile adjustable features for easy reference enabling a user to quickly conform the suit to a particular size while out of the suit. Other novel features are discussed in the exemplary embodiments of the invention and reference is had to this discussion for a more detailed understanding of the invention.

Hazardous environment clothing and, in particular, adjustable hazardous environment protective suits include any clothing operative to provide a temporary or permanent barrier to liquids identified as being potentially hazardous when humans are exposed thereto.

Where thestitching 262 may extend through the material of thetube 260. Thistube 260 is then drawn over the appropriate portion of thejumpsuit 210, such as thesleeve 214 as shown inFIGS. 6 and 7 (although not shown inFIGS. 6 and 7 , similar tubes are drawn over and bonded to both sleeves, both legs and to the torso section), and thetube 260 is then bonded to thejumpsuit 210 by a pair of heat seal bonding tape strips 264. As shown inFIG. 7 , the strips ofheat seal tape 264 extend over thelongitudinal edges 261 of thetube 260 so as to be bonded to both the outer surface of thesleeve 214 and the outer surface of thetube 260 at theselongitudinal edges 261 to thereby provide a fluid seal between thesleeve 214 and thetube 260. - This embodiment allows the strips of hook and
pile material tube 260 so the holes formed by thestitching 262 through thistube 260 do not extend through thesuit 210 itself, thereby not threatening the fluid barrier integrity of thesuit 210 itself. Therefore, this embodiment allows the hook and pile fastener strips to be attached by stitching without threatening the fluid barrier integrity of the suit material itself. There are numerous varieties of heatseal bonding tape 264 or seam seal tape are available to those of ordinary skill in the art. An example includes PVC Hot Air Seam Sealing Tape for Waterproof Product, Model No. AS 1002 available from New Power Industrial Limited, Shaoguan City, China; and another example includes Heat Seal Tapes (B Series) available from Can-Do National Tape, Nashville, Tenn. Further, as with the other embodiments, alternate adjustability fasteners including, without limitation, zippers, buttons, buckles, snaps, tube and groove fasteners and the like, can be used in place of or in addition to the hook and pile fastener strips 240, 244. With this embodiment, it is also within the scope of the invention that the garment not be a one-piece garment or a jumpsuit garment since the novel aspects incorporated into this third embodiment may be used with other hazardous environment garment designs such as jackets, pull-overs, pants, and the like. - It is also within scope and spirit of the invention to provide a color-coded coordinate system such that a user can quickly adjust the suit to a particular size, while not wearing the suit, without having to guesstimate regarding length and girth adjustments. An exemplary color coded system would associate yellow with a small-sized suit, associate orange with a medium-sized suit, associated red with a large-sized suit, associate green with a extra large-sized suit, and associated blue with an extra extra large-sized suit. This color code is exemplary in nature and may be reconfigured to associated other colors with such sizes or change the colors associated with such sizes.
- It is also within scope and spirit of the invention to exchange or supplement the hook and pile adjustable fasteners discussed above with other fasteners operative to maintain the length of a sleeve, pant leg, or torso section. Example of such features include, without limitation, zippers, buttons, buckles, snaps, tube and groove fasteners and the like.
- Following from the above description and invention summaries, it should be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that, while the methods and apparatuses herein described constitute exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the invention contained herein is not limited to this precise embodiment and that changes may be made to such embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the claims. Additionally, it is to be understood that the invention is defined by the claims and it is not intended that any limitations or elements describing the exemplary embodiments set forth herein are to be incorporated into the interpretation of any claim element unless such limitation or element is explicitly stated. Likewise, it is to be understood that it is not necessary to meet any or all of the identified advantages or objects of the invention disclosed herein in order to fall within the scope of any claims, since the invention is defined by the claims and since inherent and/or unforeseen advantages of the present invention may exist even though they may not have been explicitly discussed herein.
