Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to the field of protective garments that are worn over clothing. More specifically, the invention comprises a garment that can be worn over clothing to protect one's body from injury and prevent one's clothing from being soiled.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Protective garments are widely used for various applications. Examples of commonly used protective garments include coveralls, aprons, and protective chaps. Each of these protective garments can be effective in certain applications.
- Coveralls are particularly effective for comprehensive protection of a person's front, back, arms and legs. Prior art coveralls are made of various materials. They may or may not include insulation, depending on the intended use. Coveralls are commonly a unitary garment which provides coverage of the body equivalent to that of pants and a long sleeve shirt. Generally, donning coveralls requires a user to step into the leg portions like pants, put their arms through the sleeves, and then fasten the coveralls shut in the front or back.
- Aprons and protective chaps, on the other hand, provide protection that is generally limited to the front side of a person's body. Aprons are used in fields as disparate as cooking, welding, and laboratory research. An apron is generally the preferred garment in applications where one is at risk of objects splashing or spraying against the upper body. The most common aprons feature a loop that is worn around the neck and tie strings or fasteners that wrap around one's back.
- Chaps are commonly used by chainsaw operators, rodeo participants and others engaged in activities in which their legs are especially susceptible to injury. Chaps are generally made of a sturdy material like leather or special weaves of fabric that are designed to prevent penetration of the material and injury to the wearer's legs. Protective chaps are commonly held in place by a belt that is worn around the waist and fasteners that wrap around the back of the legs.
- Traditional protective garments, however, are poorly suited for use in conventional lawn and yard maintenance activities such as mowing and “weed-eating.” Mowers and weed-eaters can kick back debris that can soil and stain the operator's clothes and even cause injury. Wearing coveralls is not a practical solution for those who do lawn maintenance work in hot conditions, because the coveralls act as a barrier to heat transfer and can cause the wearer to become unbearably hot while working. Furthermore, aprons and chaps provide ineffective coverage for preventing debris from striking the body or are otherwise cumbersome to wear for one who is operating a mower or weed-eater.
- It is therefore desirable to provide a protective garment that both provides the necessary protection for mowing and weed-eating and is comfortable to wear.
- The present invention is a unitary garment that comprises a lower body and an upper body portion for preventing one's clothes from being soiled and protecting one from injury while mowing or weed-eating. The lower body portion includes two leg guards with each leg guard having straps adapted for fastening around each of the user's legs. The upper body portion also includes a strap for fastening the garment around the user's waist.
- In one embodiment, the garment also includes a groin flap between the two leg guards that can be drawn between the user's legs and fastened to the waist strap behind the user to provide additional security.
- Another embodiment provides for an extended upper body portion and neck loop for providing additional protection for the user's torso.
- The invention provides all of these features, advantages, and objects along with others that will become apparent with reference to the following description and accompanying drawings.

- The component parts of the protective garment are shown in
FIG. 1 .Protective garment 10 hasupper portion 12 andlower portion 14 composed of a unitary piece of fabric material generally rectangular in shape.Upper portion 12 haspocket 16 which can hold small tools or supplies.Upper portion 12 also hasfastener 18 which is adapted to be fastened around the user's waist. Fastener 18 is a basic tie-type fastener in this illustration, but can be any fastener known in the art.Lower portion 14 has twoleg guards 28 which can be produced by making T-shaped slit 30 inlower portion 14 ofprotective garment 10. -
Leg guards 28 each havefasteners 18 which are adapted to run around the user's leg at the thigh, knee, and ankle. InFIG. 1 ,fasteners 18 are attached totop section 36,knee section 38, andbottom section 40. This arrangement maintainsleg guards 28 in the desired position without unnecessarily restricting the user's range of motion. -
FIG. 2 shows a rear perspective view of the protective garment and one way the garment can be fastened to the user. Adjustable,hook fasteners 22 are used in this illustration, but can be any fastener known in the art including the aforementioned tie-type fasteners. Other fasteners that can be used include: belt-type fasteners, hook-and-loop fasteners, and clip-in fasteners.Adjustable hook fasteners 22 are secured around the user's waist and each leg, preferably at the thigh, knee, and ankle. - A preferred embodiment of the protective garment includes a fastener that is fastened around the knee of the user as shown in
FIG. 2 . This feature provides enhanced protection to the knee region. A garment that lacks this feature generally leaves the sides of the user's knee exposed when the leg is bent at the knee, as is common when one performs lawn maintenance activities. A fastener placed at the knee, however, helps maintain the protective garment in place and avoids exposing the sides of the user's knee to back-flying debris. - An alternate means of fastening the protective garment to the user is shown in
FIG. 3 .Support fasteners 20 are added to help maintaininterior flap 32 ofleg guards 28 in the desired location.Support fastener 20 passes throughpositioning loop 46 of support-positioningstrap 44 so that positioningloop 46 is free to slide up and downsupport fastener 20.Support fasteners 20 can then be attached to the user's belt or to adjustable,hook fastener 22 that runs around the user's waist thereby preventinginterior flaps 32 from falling out of position. Obviously supportfastener 20 could also operate in the reverse (support-position strap 44 can be attached tointerior flap 32 ofleg guard 28 andsupport fastener 20 can be attached to the exterior portion of leg guard 28). - An alternate embodiment of the invention is shown in
FIG. 4 .Protective garment 10 hasgroin flap 24 which is located between leg guards 28. Leg guards 28 andgroin flap 24 can be produced by making Y-shapedslit 34 as shown inFIG. 4 .Groin flap 24 also has groin-flap fastener 42 which enablesgroin flap 24 to be positioned in the desired location as shown in the subsequent illustration. -
FIG. 5 shows a rear perspective view of the alternate embodiment and one way the garment can be fastened to the user. The fasteners are adjustable,hook fasteners 22 in this illustration, but can be any fastener known in the art. Adjustable,hook fasteners 22 are fastened around the user's waist and each leg at the thigh, knee, and ankle. Groin-flap fastener 42 can be attached to the user's belt or to the fastener that runs around the user's waist thereby maintaininggroin flap 24 in the desired position. - Another embodiment of the invention is shown in
FIG. 6 .Protective garment 10 has an adaptedupper portion 12 which provides additional protection for the user's torso. In this embodiment,upper portion 12 also hasneck strap 26 that wraps around the user's neck thereby maintainingupper portion 12 ofprotective garment 10 in the desired position. - The preceding description contains significant detail regarding the novel aspects of the present invention. It should not be construed, however, as limiting the scope of the invention but rather as providing illustrations of the preferred embodiments of the invention. As an example, many types of fasteners can be used for
fastener 18,support fastener 20, adjustable,hook fastener 22, orneck loop 26. Such a variation would not alter the function of the invention. Thus, the scope of the invention should be fixed by the following claims, rather than by the examples given.
