DE202005015819U1 - Reversible and water tight jacket, comprising fluorescent area on inner surface held by lateral seams - Google Patents

Abstract

The jacket (1) is made of a waterproof material and provided with a fluorescent area in the shape of an additional waistcoat (2) in order to protect either a pedestrian or a driver standing or moving beside the vehicle in case of a breakdown in the dark. The layer (2) is attached to the inner surface and kept in place by its lateral edges integrated in the lateral seams of the jacket (1). The edges around the shoulders can also be held by the normal seams guided around this area.

Description

The Innovation refers to a reversible jacket with on the inside integrated safety vest in a signal color with reflective horizontal stripes.

In front especially in traffic is the so-called puncture or warning vest known, which in one dangerous road sector if necessary, pulled by the driver before leaving the vehicle will be to get out and for staying at or on the road for other road users to be clearly visible. The carrier is thus granted the security of early warning.

safety Vests according to EN471 Safety vest according to EN471 are held in a standard in the security area fluorescent signal color and preferably have two reflective or light-reflecting Cross stripes on. Most such safety vests can only for the intended purpose (use in case of breakdowns).

Out DE 29708241 U1 is a reversible jacket known that you can use as a normal vest and which - after it has been turned, serves as a safety vest. To do this, the jacket has nylon inner lining in fluorescent orange-red with reflective safety stripes.

The Jacket is made of 65% cotton and 35% polyester. It is therefore not water repellent.

It Object of the present invention, a jacket of the beginning mentioned type to improve that it is water repellent.

It However, it is difficult to stay on a water repellent jacket permanently and to apply fixedly connected reflective or light-reflecting elements, without stitching destroy the water repellent fabric structure. Apart from the loss The watertightness by the stitching of strips also arise Problems with the fit, because the fabric of the reversible jacket in a certain Extendable but the security strips are not (or only to a lesser extent Extent), so that then after a certain time on the outside form wrinkles in the area of the safety strips.

These Difficulties are overcome according to the innovation that the reversible jacket Water repellent on both sides and the safety vest in the shoulder, sleeve and side seams with the reversible jacket is connected. So it will be for the connection of the safety vest with the reversible jacket used the already existing seams of the reversible jacket. As a result, the water repellent fabric is not in its planar structure through Pinholes destroyed. The cut through by pinholes surface, the durable and firm stitch the reflective or light-reflecting Elements with the safety vest according to EN471 are created, although this is true not good waterproof, but since the reversible jacket on the safety vest facing side is waterproof, the reversible jacket itself can do not suck it up with water, no matter which side you're on will be carried.

The Turning page gets so also a water repellent function, e.g. by the reversible jacket double-layered and the safety vest according to EN471 represents a third position. The turning possibility including receipt The water-repellent functions are created by using a double-sided lock.

Preferably The reversible jacket is in a pocket of reversible jacket or safety vest foldable.

This can by the use of extra light materials with good dimensional stability (ie good crease behavior) can be achieved. The cutting guide or the construction of the jacket pocket into which the jacket is folded, takes place in such a way that a corresponding pocket volume for disposal stands. Furthermore, the jacket pocket, which as a packaging the jacket serves and must be reversible, with a reversible Provided closure.

The Innovation will now be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It shows:

1 a modern reversible jacket with the safety vest outside from the front;

2 the same from behind;

3 the same with the safety vest inside from the front.

1 shows a reversible jacket 1 with a sewn on the inside of the jacket at side, shoulder and sleeve insert seam safety vest 2 in a signal color. At the safety vest 2 are two reflective horizontal stripes 3 attached, eg sewn on. To both sides of the reversible jacket 1 easy to close, is a reversible zipper 4 intended. Out 1 and 2 It can be seen that the standard EN471 by the sewn safety vest 2 is satisfied. By simply turning the reversible jacket 1 on the outside (see 3 ) creates a neutral jacket look. The wen The jacket is water repellent, no matter which side is worn on the outside.
