WO 2007/038849 PCT/BR2006/000203 1 PROTECTIVE PANTS The current utility model refers to presently available pants. These have openings down the entire length of the leg from waist to feet, making it possible to put them on and take them off quickly and without having to put your feet 5 through them. The front and back parts are overlaid. That way, the pants can be adjusted for people of all different sizes, without pleating. A shoe cover may also be attached to the hems and-held in place by a strap, Prior Art 10 With the pants currently on the market, you must put your feet through the pant legs to put them on or take them off. It is both awkward and embarrassing to put them on and take them off in public, when the rain starts and stops. It is also uncomfortable to keep them on for prolonged lengths of time as impermeable 15 materials prevent ventilation and cause heat. Some models have openings on the bottoms using zippers which allow them to be put on or taken off while keeping your shoes on. Nonetheless, it is still an impractical method because on rainy days shoes typically become wet and/ or dirty. 20 Galoshes on the market are bulky, making convenient transportation difficult. It is also difficult to put them on in the street. Exposition of the Invention 25 The present utility model was developed as a solution to these problems. It allows you to remove the pants in a fraction of a second, simply by pulling on them. Putting them on is also very quick and easy: holding them by the crotch, on the inside, with the fronts and backs separated. Put them between your legs and join the front and back sides to close them: first at the waist, then down the sides, 30 one at a time.
WO 2007/038849 PCT/BR2006/000203 2 1 The shoe covers are held on by Velcro at the hem ofthe pants and are therefore very easy to put on. They are tied on by a strap which wraps around them and the user's ankle and are also fastened with Velcro. They are portable: made of light, flexible material, they can be carried in your pockets, and used when the rain is 5 intense. Description of Drawings Drawing 1: corresponds to a side view of the protective pants, with a shoe 10 cover attached to the hem and a belt stabilizing the cover. Drawing 2: corresponds to a back view of the protective pants with openings on the outer sides of the legs and strips of Velcro horizontally at the waist and hips and vertically down the thighs, shins and anldes. Drawing 3: corresponds to a back view of the protective pants with openings 15 on the outer sides of the legs and strips of Velcro horizontally at the waist and hips and vertically down the thighs, shins and ankles, with the fold which exposes the inside of the pants. Drawing 4: corresponds to a back view of the protective pants with openings on the outer sides of the legs and strips of Velcro horizontally at the waist and 20 hips and vertically down the thighs, shins and andes, with a shoe cover attached to the hem. Drawing 5: corresponds to a right side view of the shoe cover. Drawing 6: corresponds to an inside view of the shoe cover. Drawing 7: corresponds to a view of a belt. 25 The Best Way to Produce the Invention The cut is practically the same as on ordinary pants without a fly. Instead of a fly, there is stitching, similar to how the backside and the inner sides of the legs 30 are sewn (8). On pants meant for motorcyclists, it is necessary to seal the stitching.
WO 2007/038849 PCT/BR2006/000203 3 1 There are many techniques for sealing, depending on the material the pants are made of Hems of about 2.5 centimeters are made along the edges of the front sides (3). In addition to being fishing, these hems are to strengthen the strips of 5 Velcro (1) glued along the inside at the waist, hips and thighs. The hems along the back side edges (7) are narrower, as they are only for finishing. There is no narrowing at the waist in our design, as they are adjusted with the strips of Velcro (1) placed horizontally. This allows them to be one-size-fits-all. 10 At the thigh, shin and ankle, the Velcro (1) is attached vertically. The strips of Velcro (1) at the thighs and shins are slightly inclined on the back sides, to facilitate adjustment. This raised Velcro (1) causes an excess of cloth between the Velcro (1) and the edges of the pants (7). This excess cloth allows smaller strips of Velcro (1) to be used, leaving larger empty spaces, without exposure to 15 bad weather, as the front and back are overlaid. Smaller strips of Velcro (1) are easier to open and close. In drawing 3, we can see that strips of cloth (9) are used on the inside to strengthen the locations where Velcro (1) is sewn on the outside. The reinforcement should be made of thicker material, such as cowhide, as it also provides density, 20 making closing easier. A piece of Velcro can be placed inside the pants, on the lower hem, to be attached to shoe covers (5). The shoe covers (5) should be made of light flexible material, to facilitate their transportation. For reasonable stability, with all the wind faced on a 25 motorcycle, they should be tied on with a strap (4). The strap wraps around the cover (5) and the user's ankle. It too is attached with Velcro (1), which allows them to be put on and taken off easily. If the rain is very intense, a plastic bag can be placed around your foot before putting on the pants, shoe cover (5) and belt (4), thus reducing the risk of leaks. 30 In drawings 5 and 6, the shoe cover is shown open. According to drawing WO 2007/038849 PCT/BR2006/000203 4 1 6, one of the two strips of Velcro (1) used to close the shoe cover (5) is glued on the front (10) of the inside. The front (10) is sewn onto the back (12) and has a strip (11) sewn on its upper side. The Velcro (1) used to attach the shoe cover (5) to the hem (6) of the pants is glued on the right side of this strip (11). The back 5 side (12) can be made out of even more flexible material. According to drawing 5, the other strip of Velcro (1) used to close the shoe cover is glued on its right side. Drawing 7 shows that the strap is made of a folded strip with sewn edges. The cloth should be light, impermeable, and resistant. There is a piece of Velcro 10 (1) glued onto each side and end. Possible Industrial Applications This model can be made with the motorcycle consumer in mind, who already 15 uses pants and shoes for protection against bad weather. In addition, it would also be practical for pedestrians in general as it would prove beneficial for walking in windy rain, when umbrellas are not enough. They can be made of several different waterproof materials and other material, such as transparent plastic, using stitching and/or thermal welding. 20 The pants can also be made for use in environments which require asepsis, due to the facility with which they can be put on and taken off in such places. For this case, it is possible to use other material, such as cotton, as well as other closing devices, such as buttons and strips of cloth that tie around the waist.
