Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heavy-duty garment comprising:
  • a heavy-duty garment of the above-mentioned type is known from US-A-3 045 243.
  • Said document discloses a garment comprising a jacket in which at least one slit is made in the chest region of its outer impermeable part.
  • each slit is bowed away from the wearer by means of a curved spacer in order to form an aperture, which is made closable by affixing a slide fastener to its two edges.
  • Said apertures weaken the resistance of the outer part of the garment and adversely affect the waterproofing of the garment. Moreover, if said apertures were made of small size in order to partially obviate said drawbacks, the garment would not ensure a sufficient internal ventilation and a sufficient dissipation of moisture vapour under conditions of physical exertion.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a completely satisfactory solution to the problems described above by virtue of the characteristics which form the subject of the characterising part of claim 1.
  • the substantially annular wide aperture formed between the upper and lower parts of the outer part of the garment ensures good internal ventilation and dissipation of moisture also under extreme conditions of physical exertion (for example in forest fire fighting) does not weaken the resistance of the garment and being directed downwardly does not adversely affect the waterproofing of the garment.
  • a heavy-duty garment generally indicated 1 is constituted, in the embodiment illustrated, by a coat which is intended to be worn by a forest fire fighter.
  • the coat 1 comprises an upper outer part 2, and a lower outer part 2a, which are made from a fabric which has good mechanical strength and has been treated so as to make it waterproof.
  • the coat 1 has an inner part 3 which constitutes the yoke of the garment which is intended to bear against the user's chest in use.
  • the inner part 3 is made from a fabric which has an air-permeability factor of at least 6 mm/Pascal and a minimum thickness of 1.5 mm.
  • Said air-permeable fabric may be constituted, for example, by a layer of net fabric sandwiched between two layers of knitted fabric.
  • Spacer means are provided at the shoulders for spacing the upper outer part 2 from the inner part 3 by a distance of at least 2 mm, whereby a substantially annular space 8 is formed between the parts 2 and 3 of the coat, said space 8 allowing air circulation inside the garment.
  • each spacer 5 is constituted by a body of curved shape with internal ribs 6 forming channels 7 for allowing inside air circulation also in the shoulder area of the garment.
  • the spacers could be constituted by applied raised elements or by a layer of very permeable fabric thicker than the fabric from which the inner part 3 is made.
  • the upper outer part 2 has a lower flap 9 which extends downwardly by a small distance beyond the lower edge of the inner part 3.
  • the lower outer part 2a of the coat 1 extends downwardly from the lower portion of the inner part 3. As shown in figure 2, the lower outer part 2a is sewn at its upper end to the outer surface of the lower end of the inner part 3.
  • Arcuate resilient elements 11 are interposed in the front and rear parts of the garment between the lower end of the inner permeable part 3 and the flap 9. Said elements 11 tend to displace outwardly the flap 9 with respect to the lower end of part 3 and to the upper end of part 2a, whereby a substantially annular wide aperture 10 is formed which puts the space 8 in communication with the outer atmosphere.
  • Closure means 12 are interposed between the upper end of the lower outer part 2a and the flap 9 for adjusting the cross-sectional area of the air passage through the aperture 10 against the action of the resilient means 11, so that the internal ventilation of the garment can be adjusted in dependence on the degree of humidity created within it, in use, without thereby adversely affecting the waterproofing of the garment.
  • closure means 12 are formed by a number of sliding-clasp fasteners; the closure can however be achieved by other means such as micro-hook adhesive strips, buttons, laces or the like.
  • Resilient means different from the arcuate resilient elements 11 shown by way of example could also be used provided they are adapted to fulfil the same function.
