Definitions

• the invention concerns working garments especially over ⁇ alls and coats.
• Aim of the above invention is to lessen these drawbacks, make the garments easier to wear and give better protec ⁇ tion as will be explained below.
• Subject of the invention are overalls, coats and similar that open in front with two flaps that lie one over the other . Both flaps cover subs anti lly the whole front of the garments so that when fastened they are superimposed all down the front and so give double protection. Fastening is done by pairs of Velcro strips each one con ⁇ sisting of two pieces placed crosswise; this makes a quick fastening that is also widely adaptable.
• Such adaption is made by moving the vertical strip hori ⁇ zontally along the horizontal strip, and vertically by moving the horizontal strip up and down the vertical one.
• One flap, at one side of the garment extends across to the other side and, downward, to a point some way below the crotch by means of a substantially V-shaped extension.
• the inner side of said extension is fixed to the inner side of the trouser leg of the garment.
• the second flap opening the garment lies over the first flap, extends horizontally to the opposite side and down ⁇ ward to a position at substantially the same level as the first flap, also by means of a V-shaped extension whose inner side is fixed to the inner side of the trouser leg of the garment .
• This arrangement creates forces that tend to close the two overlying flaps by the cross pull of the trousers through the crotch and lower extensions of said flaps.
• the lower sides of the two opening flaps are fixed to the trouser legs of the garment, their inner edges being held by the longitudinal seam, or weld, down the inner side of said trouser legs.
• One side of the V-shaped lower extension of the opening flaps is substantially straight and coincides with the inner seam or weld of the trouser leg; the other side, from the apex of the V, joins at a curve with the edges, substan ially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the garment, of the flaps.
• the garments may be made of paper, fabric, non-woven syn ⁇ thetic fabric or sheets of cheap plastic to make them disposable and therefore suitable for use where cleaning is a problem in highly polluting, infectious and dirty surroundings .
• the crosswise pull by the trouser legs over the crotch helps to keep the fastening in place without discomfort to the wearer.
• the possibility of using a disposable type eliminates laundering problems especially for overalls used in very dirty, polluting and infectious environments and facili ⁇ tates final elimination as they have no buttons, buckles metal fastenings or zips.
• the garments subject of the invention are quick and easy to put on, offer maximum defence against the various risks associa- ted with their use, are inexpensive and light in weight while their double front layer gives added protection compared with presently known garments, or in cases where equivalent protection is provided, reduce the thickness of the layers of material.
• Characteristics and purposes of the invention will be made still clearer by the following examples of its execution illustrated by diagrammat ically drawn figures.
• Fig. 1 Overalls subject of the invention on the wearer, closed, seen from the front.
• Fig. 2 The same as Fig. 1, seen from the back;
• Fig. 3 The overalls on the wearer, open, front view.
• Fig. 4 The overalls on the wearer, closed, front view.
• Fig. 5 Coat subject of the invention on the wearer , closed, seen from the front .
• Fig. 6 The same as Fig. 5, seen from the back.
• Fig. 7 The coat on the wearer, open, front view.
• Fig. 8 The coat on the wearer, closed, front view.
• Said flap extends downward ending in a tip 13 some way be ⁇ yond the crotch 14, there becoming a tongue-shaped exten ⁇ sion 15 whose curved outer 16 and inner 17 edge is in ⁇ cluded within the inner seam 18 of the left trouser leg 19
• the second opening flap 22 extends horizontally from the left hand side (S) to the right hand side (D) becoming superimposed over the flap 12.
• Said flap 22 extends downward to form a tip 23 beyond the crotch 14 substantially at the same level as the tip 13 of flap 12, there becoming a tongue-shaped ex ⁇ tension 25 whose curved outer 26 and inner 27 edge is included within the inner seam 28 of the left hand trou ⁇ ser leg 29.
• the overalls 10 are closed with a double chest protection formed by the two overlying flaps 12,22.
• Said closure is held firm by pairs of velcro strips, an upper pair 30,31 and a lower pair 32,33.
• the upper pair has a horizontal strip 30 on the flap 12 and a vertical strip 31 on the flap 22.
• the lower pair has a horizontal strip 32 on the flap 12 and a vertical strip 33 on the flap 22.
• This crosswise fastening allows plenty of horizontal adap ⁇ tion by the vertical strips 31 and 33 along the horizontal strips 30 and 32, and the same adaption vertically by the horizontal strips 30 and 32 in relation to the vertical strips 31 and 33.
• Fastening of the flaps 12,22 on the chest is made even more stable by the pull which the tongue-shaped extensions, respectively 15 and 25 to flaps 12 and 22, exert from the seams 18 and 28 in the trouser legs below the crotch.
• Another pair of velcro strips 34,35 are placed at the up- per end of the underlying flap 12 and in the corresponding position inside the overlying flap 22.
• the overalls 10 consist of pieces 40 and 41 respectively corresponding to the two longitudinal halves of the human body, each comprising half of the trunk and one trouser leg and also of the sleeves 42,43 and of the collar 44. The two halves are joined down the back by the seam 45 and, inside the trouser legs, by seams 18 and 28.
• the coat 50 has a front that, ith its flap 52,extends from the left hand side (S) of the trunk (T) over to the right hand side (D).
• the flap 53 extends across to the left hand side (S) overlaying the flap 52. In this way the coat is done up providing a double layer of protection to the chest area by superimpos iton of flap 53 over flap 52.
• Closure is made stable by pairs of velcro strips, respec ⁇ tively the upper pair 60,61 and lower pair 62,63.
• the horizontal strip 60 is placed on flap 52 and the vertical strip 61 on flap 53.
• the horizontal strip 62 is placed on flap 52 and the vertical strip 63 on flap 53.
• This crosswise matching permits ample space for horizontal adjustment of vertical strips 61,63 along horizontal strips 60,62 and ample space for vertical adjustment of horizon ⁇ tal strips 60,62 on vertical strips 61,63.
• Another pair of velcro strips 64,65 is placed at the upper end of the inner flap 52 and at the corresponding inner position of the outer flap 53.
