Definitions

  • the present invention relates to garments and, more particularly, to protective garments having a vent such as a vented moisture barrier.
  • Each protective garment may include an outer shell layer, a thermal barrier or thermal liner located inside the outer shell, and a moisture barrier located inside the outer shell.
  • the moisture barrier may be semi-permeable such that the moisture barrier is generally liquid impermeable and generally moisture vapor permeable.
  • the moisture barrier may be located inside the outer shell to block moisture from the ambient environment from passing through the garment, while allowing moisture vapor inside the garment to pass through the moisture barrier.
  • the moisture barrier may be generally permeable to moisture vapor to allow moisture vapor to pass therethrough, moisture vapor may still remain trapped inside the garment, hi particular, under heavy work conditions the moisture vapor generated by the wearer (for example, by perspiration) may be generated at a rate greater than that which the moisture barrier can pass therethrough. Accordingly, there is a need for a protective garment with an improved system for enabling the escape of moisture vapor.
  • U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003/0033656 discloses a ventilation system for clothing wherein fabric layers 14, 16 form a shingle-like overlap 18 with a spacer material 26 positioned therebetween.
  • the invention provides a protective garment as set out in the accompanying claims.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates a protective or hazardous duty garment in the form of a firefighter turnout coat, generally designated 10.
  • the coat 10 may have a back panel 12, a left 14 and a right 16 front panel coupled to the back panel 12, and a pair of sleeves 18, 20 coupled to and extending generally outwardly from the back panel 12 and front panels 14, 16.
  • the front panels 14, 16 may be permanently attached to the back panel 12 and sleeves 18, 20.
  • the panels 14, 16 may be releasably attachable together by a fastening component, generally designated 22.
  • the fastening component 22 includes hooks 24 on the panel 16 which can cooperate with clasps 26 on the panel 14 to selectively close the coat 10.
  • the fastening component 22 may include nearly any other fastener or fastening system, including but not limited to slide fastener components, snaps, zippers, buttons, hook and loop fastening systems, and the like.
  • the coat 10 may include a pair of knit wristlets 30 which may be made of an aramid material and located at the distal end of each sleeve 18, 20.
  • the coat 10 may also include a collar 32 of an aramid material attached to the back panel 12 and front panels 14, 16.
  • the coat 10 may include various layers through the thickness of the garment, such as an outer shell 40, a moisture barrier 42 located inside of and adjacent to the outer shell 40, a thermal liner or barrier 44 located inside of and adjacent to the moisture barrier 42, and an inner liner or face cloth 46 located inside of and adjacent to the thermal liner 44.
  • the outer shell 40 may be constructed of a variety of materials, including a flame, heat and abrasion resistant material such as a compact weave of aramid fibers and/or polybenzamidazole fibers. Commercially available aramid materials include NOMEX and KEVLAR fibers (both trademarks of E.I.
  • the outer shell 14 may be an aramid material, a blend of aramid materials, a polybenzamidazole material, a blend of aramid and polybenzamidazole materials, or other appropriate materials, and may have a weight of, for example, between about 203.4 - 339 g/m 2 (6-10 oz/yd 2 ).
  • the moisture barrier 42 and thermal liner 44 may be generally coextensive with the outer shell 40, or spaced slightly inwardly from the outer edges (i.e., the ends of the sleeves, the collar and the bottom edge) of the outer shell 40, to provide moisture and thermal protection throughout the coat 10.
  • the moisture barrier 42 may include a semi-permeable membrane layer 50, which may be generally moisture vapor permeable but generally impermeable to liquid moisture.
  • the membrane layer 50 may be made of or include expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (“PTFE”) such as GORE-TEX or CROSSTECH (both of which are trademarks of W.L.
  • the membrane layer 50 may have microscopic openings that permit moisture vapor to pass therethrough, but block liquids from passing therethrough.
  • the membrane layer 50 may be made of a microporous material that is either hydrophilic, hydrophobic, or somewhere in between.
  • the membrane layer 50 may also be monolithic and may allow moisture vapor transmission therethrough by molecular diffusion.
  • the membrane layer 50 may also be a combination of microporous and monolithic materials (known as a bicomponent moisture barrier), in which the microporous or monolithic material can be layered or intertwined.
  • the membrane layer 50 may be bonded or adhered to a substrate 52 ( Fig. 2 ) of a flame and heat resistant material.
  • the substrate 52 may be aramid fibers similar to the aramid fibers of the outer shell 40, but may be thinner and lighter in weight
  • the substrate 52 may be woven, non-woven, spunlace or other materials.
  • the moisture barrier 42 may prevent moisture from the ambient environment from entering the inner cavity 54 of the coat 10 to keep the wearer dry and to prevent the thermal barrier 44 from absorbing moisture from the ambient environment
  • the membrane layer 50 may face the inner portion of the coat 10 (i.e., face the thermal liner 44 or inner cavity 54), and the substrate 52 of the moisture barrier may face the outer portion of the coat 10 (i.e., face the outer shell 40).
  • the thermal liner 44 may be made of any suitable material which provides sufficient thermal insulation.
  • the thermal liner 44 may include a relatively thick (i.e. typically from 1.59 - 4.77 mm (1/16"-3/16") thick) batting, felt or needled non-woven material 54 which can include aramid fiber batting (such as NOMEX batting), aramid needlepunch material, an aramid non-woven material, an aramid blend needlepunch material, an aramid blend batting material, an aramid blend non-woven material, or foam (either open or closed cell) materials.
  • the batting 54 preferably traps air and possesses sufficient loft to provide thermal resistance to the garment 10.
  • the batting 54 is typically quilted to the face cloth 46, and the thermal liner face cloth 46 may be a weave of a lightweight aramid material. Thus, either the batting 54 alone, or the batting 54 in combination with the face cloth 46, may be considered to be the thermal liner 44.
  • the thermal liner 44 may have a thermal protection performance ("TPP") of at least about 20, or of at least about 35.
  • TPP thermal protection performance
  • the thermal liner 44 may be treated with a water-resistant material.
  • the face cloth 46 may be designed to be the innermost layer of the garment 10, 12, and can provide a comfortable surface for the wearer and protect the batting 54 from abrasion by the wearer.
  • Each layer of the coat 10, and the coat 10 as a whole, may be designed to meets the National Fire Protection Association ("N.F.P.A.") 1971 standards for protective firefighting garments ("Protective Clothing for Structural Firefighting").
  • N.F.P.A. National Fire Protection Association
  • the NFPA standards specify various minimum requirements for heat and flame resistance and tear strength.
  • an outer shell 40 of a firefighter garment must be able to resist igniting, burning, melting, dripping and/or separation at a temperature of 500° F for at least five minutes.
  • all combined layers of the garment 10 must provide a thermal protection performance rating of at least 35.
  • the moisture barrier 42 and thermal liner 44 may be permanently attached to each other about their peripheries (or about their peripheries and interior), such as by stitching, so that the moisture barrier 42 and thermal liner 44 function as a unitary component of the garment 10.
  • the moisture barrier 42 and thermal liner 44 may be referred to together as the inner liner 60 of the garment 10.
  • the moisture barrier 42 and thermal liner 44 can be combined into a removable inner liner 60.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates the inner liner 60 removed from the outer shell 40
  • Fig. 5 illustrates a rear perspective view of the inner liner 60.
  • Figs. 4 and 5 are included primarily for illustrative purposes, and the inner liner 60 need not necessarily be removable from the outer shell 40, and the moisture barrier 42 and thermal liner 44 need not necessarily be coupled together to form an inner liner 60.
  • the moisture barrier 42 includes a generally laterally-extending vent 70 extending around the periphery of the moisture barrier 42.
  • the moisture barrier 42 is formed by overlapping portions of the moisture barrier 42.

  • the upper portion 72 at least partially overlaps with and is located outside of the overlapping portions of the lower portion 76.
  • the thermal barrier 44 may not necessarily be vented (although it may be if so desired), and in the illustrated embodiment only the moisture barrier 42 is vented.
  • the outer shell 40 is generally continuous such that the outer shell 40 generally is not vented, although the outer shell 40 may additionally be vented if desired.
  • the vent 70 is formed by overlapping the upper 72 and lower 76 portions of the moisture barrier 42.
  • the upper 72 and lower 76 portions of the moisture barrier 42 may then be coupled together in a variety of manners.
  • the upper 72 and lower 76 portions are coupled together at a plurality of spaced locations to form discreet spaced vents 70'.

As shown in Figs. 7 and 8 , the tape 82 may be located on both sides of the stitched tack locations 80 (i.e., on both the outer and inner surfaces of the moisture barrier 42) to cover both the inner and outer surfaces of the stitched tacks 80.
  • the sealant 82 helps to seal the stitched tacks 80 to prevent fluids from passing through the stitched tacks 80 and the holes pierced in the moisture barrier 42 due to stitching.
  • the use of stitched tacks 80 to couple the overlapping portions of the moisture barrier 42 provides a relatively low-area connection (as compared to, for example, a stitched line) so that the stitched tacks 80 can be more effectively sealed, and to present a lesser surface area for the infiltration of fluids.
  • the vent 70 formed by the upper 72 and lower 76 portions of the moisture barrier 42 enables relatively large volumes of air to be expelled through the vent 70, thereby enabling moisture vapor-laden air located inside the inner cavity 54 of the garment 10 to be expelled, such as by convection.
  • the air in the inner cavity 54 of the coat can be expelled through the vent 70 by various forces, including by the movement of the wearer.

  • the stitched tacks 80 couple the upper 72 and lower 76 portions of the moisture barrier 42 together to maintain the upper 72 and lower 76 portions in their desired orientation.
  • the stitched tacks 80 may extend generally horizontally, generally vertically, or in some other direction.
  • the stitched tacks 80 may extend a relatively short distance along the height or width of the coat 10 or along the overlapping portions to ensure that the vent 70 or vents 70' remain open to ensure the free flow of air therethrough.
