Definitions

• the present invention relates to a garment such as a jacket, pants or a combination.
• This garment will be worn especially for sports activities or recreation such as those practiced in the marine environment, for example for boat trips, for fishing or for walks along the sea, but also for the mountains, fishing, firemen.
• the clothing used for the practice of activities in a nautical environment are generally made of a watertight textile material in order to adequately protect the user against water filtrations that can cause discomfort and make the practice of the activity unpleasant.
• a sporting or physical activity under favorable weather conditions, for example during good weather or during a wind of weak force, people wearing the garment are likely to experience overheating and a rise in temperature of the human body.
• the user desirably wishes to wear clothes with openings for the passage of the ends of the body sufficiently wide, promoting ventilation and ventilation inside the garment to limit perspiration of the body, and also to allow freedom of movement, especially in the arms and legs, the head.
• a jacket-type clothing whose ends each sleeve has a pocket attached to the outer face of said sleeves.
• These pockets in particular receive gloves which are partially fixed relative to the ends of the sleeves, for example by means of a seam or a closure positioned inside these pockets.
• the gloves can be stored inside the pockets.
• the user when the weather conditions are unfavorable, the user then has the opportunity to take the gloves out of said pockets and carry them to the hands; these gloves are then positioned in the extension of the duct of the sleeves through which pass the hands of the person wearing the garment.
• the patent application FR 2,188,286 discloses a garment type blouse with two sleeves whose ends include gloves, these gowns being used in particular as a hand protection garment when performing work, for example against dirt or the wounds. These sleeves end with gloves and have a partial lateral opening at the wrists; this lateral partial opening makes it possible to fold the glove on itself and to fix it for example by means of a button of pressure on the side of the sleeve.
• the garment makes it possible to fold the gloves to free them from the hands and to facilitate the handling during a meticulous intervention.
• European patent EP 0,245,097 discloses a sleeve construction for clothing, the sleeve comprising at its end a glove defined in the extension of the duct of the sleeve.
• the end of the sleeve comprises on a portion of its perimeter a panel arranged so as to fold down along a fold, defined along this perimeter, to pass a closed position to an open position. In the closed position, the panel is folded down on the sleeve so as to form the glove-shaped coating for the hand.
• the panel While in the open position, the shape of the glove is folded on the outer face of the sleeve; the panel takes the form of a duct which is folded on itself so as to cover and store the glove under said panel constituting, in this way, a glove storage pocket.
• the documents cited above therefore have the function of designing clothes allowing the use thereof either leaving the hands in the open air, or covering them for example by means of a glove, said glove being foldable on the outer face of the end of the sleeve and can be held in the folded position, either by means of a fastener type snap or adhesive type, or by means of a pocket, said glove being disposed in the poached.
• These different clothes are therefore particularly intended to protect the hands and allow to release the glove-shaped part of the hand, for example to make it easier to handle objects, or simply not to protect hands when temperatures are sweet.
• the sleeves have folds or bulges likely to hinder the proper movements of the person wearing the garment. Indeed, when the person performs movements, the ends of the sleeves, including folds or possibly a pocket to enclose the glove, can eventually catch and hang on surrounding obstacles.
• 6,035,441 describes a garment of the sleeve type, the latter being extended by a duct which has a first opening at one of its ends for the passage of certain fingers of the hand, to know the index, middle finger, ring finger and little finger.
• the garment further comprises a second opening made on said first duct, at which is connected by sewing a second duct within which the thumb of the hand can penetrate.
• the first conduit is adapted to be folded on itself and on the end of the sleeve to achieve at least one fold so as to clear said conduit and leave the hand in the open air, and to hide the second conduit which is disposed under the first folded conduit.
• This first and second conduit is a glove or mitten-type element for covering, in a controlled manner, the hand and at least a portion of the fingers. These two ducts are used simultaneously and allow the reception of two distinct parts of the body, the first duct receiving the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger and the little finger, while the second duct receives the thumb.
• the first conduit When the first conduit is folded on itself to leave the hand in the open air, it is arranged around the end of the sleeve. Consequently, the sleeve and the first folded duct are tightened around the wrist of the hand when it is left in the open air, which prevents ventilation of the garment by leaving a ventilation space between said sleeve and the sleeve. body of the person.
• the object of the present invention is to obtain a multifunctional garment that allows the adaptation according to the climatic conditions to obtain at least two modes of use for which the body part passes through the end of the garment while remaining free, that is to say in contact with the ambient environment, the garment being either ventilated or tight around the body which passes through said end.
• the present invention has the advantage of being able to adapt the garment to increase the seal around the body part that passes through the end of the garment, or even completely isolate said body part relative to the environment.
• the invention also aims to reduce the adaptation time of the garment from a first mode of use to the second mode of use, minimizing the handling of the garment during its adaptation.
• the design of the garment according to the invention has the advantage of ensuring a seal of the entire garment during its adaptation for use thereof as a waterproof garment. And conversely, the garment helps promote the passage of air when it is used as airy clothing.
• Another advantage of the present invention is to design a multifunctional garment that provides very good ventilation and ventilation of the body during an intensive activity during which the person wearing the garment must have great freedom of movement.
• the present invention also makes it possible to reduce or even eliminate the formation of bulges or overthickness at the ends of the garments, thus avoiding hanging the garment during the practice of a sports or intensive activity.

• This duct 4 is defined as follows an inclined axis forming an angle, preferably acute, with the axis of the first duct 1, or even perpendicular to the axis of the first duct 1. This inclination promotes the introduction of the body part into the second duct 4, without having to manipulate said conduit to orient it relative to the body part. However, it is possible to provide an obtuse angle between the axis of the first duct 1 and the inclined axis of the second duct 4, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
• This second duct 4 is designed in a waterproof material, that is to say, impervious to water, said impermeable or leakproof duct being also attached to the second opening 3 in a sealed manner, which allows to form a sealed extension between the material of the garment, which is preferably made of waterproof material, and the second conduit 4 made of a material also impermeable to water.
• the connection between this second duct 4 and the end of the first duct 1, arranged at the opening 3, is performed according to the fabrication techniques known to those skilled in the art, so as to ensure continuity of the seal between the two materials of the first conduit and the second conduit.
