Definitions

  • the invention relates to a garment for a controlled environment, comprising:
  • Such garments for controlled environments comprise an outer surface (hereafter referred to as the exterior) designed to come in contact with the surrounding environment and an inner surface (hereafter referred to as the interior) which is intended to be in contact with a wearer.
  • a bag is provided in which these garments are folded and packaged to thereby reduce the risk of contamination before use.
  • the exposed exterior of the garment may become contaminated as it may get in contact with the hands or body of the operator or the floor or walls of the locker-room in which the garment is typically donned.
  • the operator When donning the conventional garment, the operator (also referred to as wearer) needs to find an unexposed part of the interior of the garment in the opened bag. The wearer will need to grasp the interior, watching out not to touch (and hereby contaminate) the exterior. Furthermore, the wearer must carefully orient the conventional garment to a position allowing the wearer to insert his legs and arms in the garment.
  • publication WO 2005/150217 A1 discloses a coverall which is provided with at least one grasping means in the interior to facilitate donning as well as an opening on its crotch.
  • donning this type of garment requires sufficient space between operators in order to prevent the operators, their clothing in particular, from getting in contact with each other during donning, which would greatly increase the risk of contamination.
  • This fact implies that the locker-rooms need to be enlarged, which is expensive.
  • this coverall requires the operator to perform shaking motions while donning in order to lower the garment.
  • shaking motions are proscribed in cleanrooms, since shaking motions may result in an increased release of particles.
  • Publication US 2017/305649 A1 discloses a method for folding a coverall.
  • the disclosed folding method aims to reduce the contamination risk.
  • the coverall is folded to provide the wearer with an obvious grasp for handling the folded garment.
  • the method of folding described allows the wearer to grasp a portion of the interior of the coverall when he takes it from the bag, the donning procedure remains the same as usual, which still leads to a considerable risk of contamination.
  • Publication WO 2005/065476 A2 discloses another coverall.
  • the garment disclosed in this document is provided with a storage pouch integral with the coverall in which the garment can be quickly and easily stored.
  • the aim of this protective garment is to protect the wearer against chemical, biological, mechanical or thermal hazards.
  • These protective garments are made of or include a variety of materials which should be shielded from light in order to protect the materials. Such garments should be stored in a protective pouch.
  • This garment also does not allow easy donning.
  • the arrangement of the access opening is disadvantageous for tasks which include the use of dangerous products, as it may be prescribed in such a case to be able to completely withdraw the garment with very little effort.
  • the access opening extends from a free end of the first leg part, preferably along an edge in line with the first side towards the connected end of the first leg part, via the first side to the connected end of the first sleeve towards near a free end of the first sleeve, preferably along an edge proximate to the first leg part.
  • the access opening preferably extends from the free end. Alternatively, it may also extend only from near (not from) the free end. An elastic fixed near or at the free end of the first leg part may in this alternative case to increase the stability of folding the first leg part.
  • the access opening preferably extends to near but not to the free end of the first sleeve, thereby leaving the free end closed.
  • the closing means may comprise e.g. slide fastener components, a zipper, snaps, studs, buttons, hook and loop fastening systems, straps, ties or the like and preferably comprise a zipper.
  • This zipper is preferably arranged such that in the closed position, the slider resides near or at the free end of the first leg part, while residing near the free end of the first sleeve in the opened position.
  • the garment which is preferably suitable for controlled environments such as cleanrooms and/or may be a coverall, thus substantially corresponds to the discussed prior art garments, whereas the arrangement of the access opening is substantially different.
  • the access opening on the side of the garment opposite to the side to which the wearer wearing the garment is handed, e.g. on the left side for a right handed wearer, and vice versa.
  • the garment further comprises a pouch sized for accommodating the garment, directly or indirectly fixed to the interior of the torso portion.
  • the garment may be provided with a separate bag, it is preferred to provide the garment with a pouch, i.e. a bag fixed to the garment (e.g. by stitching to the interior of the torso portion).
  • the pouch is accessible from the exterior and sized for (snugly) fitting the garment. This allows the side of the pouch which is, while wearing the garment, considered the interior or the pouch, to be pulled over the garment (when folded), forming an external cover around the garment.
  • Arrangement of the pouch with its aperture near and preferably even parallel to the head aperture (or the hood, where applicable) makes it easier to pull the pouch over the folded garment and thereby store the garment in the pouch.
  • the torso portion comprises a front and a rear side, wherein the pouch is fixed to the rear side.
  • Arrangement of the pouch to the rear side, which is normally facing the back of the wearer of the garment, preferably in the interior of the torso portion, increases comfort of use, since the pouch is less likely to be in the way when performing tasks.
  • the garment comprises a machine-readable data representation, such as a bar code or a chip, arranged in the interior of the pouch.
  • the machine-readable data representation is arranged and fixed to the interior of the pouch. This makes the machine-readable data representation hidden while the wearer is wearing the garment, whereas the machine-readable data representation remains easily accessible when the garment is folded in the pouch. Since the pouch is integral with the garment, the identification of the garment by means of the machine-readable data representation becomes possible.
  • the garment comprises handling means, such as loops, preferably comprising:
  • Such instructions preferably comprise handling means, preferably arranged in the interior of the garment.
  • handling means preferably comprise a number of loops, which allow the wearer to grasp the garment by the loops.
  • the loops may be consecutively identifiable, e.g. numbered with numbers such as 1, 2, 3 or A, B, C, to increase the ease of use.
  • the arrangement of the first, second and third loop provides for ease of use when donning the garment, as will be further explained with regard to the method for donning according to the invention.
  • the garment further comprises a hood, fixed to the torso portion around the head aperture.
  • a hood further protects the environment from particles carried by or produced by the wearer, e.g. from the hair.
  • a hood will typically also include a cover for covering the mouth and possibly also the nose of the wearer.
  • the garment comprises interlocking means, such as a snap fastener, arranged on the exterior of at least one of the first and second leg part, which interlocking means comprise a first part, arranged near the free end of this leg part, and a second part, arranged on this part, cooperating with the first part, arranged between the first part and the connected end of this leg part.
  • interlocking means such as a snap fastener
  • the free ends of the leg parts may be fold back towards the connected end in order to avoid the leg parts from touching other parts, e.g. a floor, while donning.
  • interlocking means may be provided on the leg parts.
  • the first and second part may typically comprise a pair of a male and female connector, but other suitable types of interlocking means are also known by a person skilled in the art.
  • the leg parts of the garment will, just as garments according to the prior art, typically also be provided with further interlocking means arranged at other positions, e.g. for fixing boots to the leg parts (e.g. near and below knee level of the leg part) or for narrowing the size of the opening at the free end of the leg part (near the free end of the leg part).
  • the interlocking means according to this embodiment are added in addition to these further interlocking means, when present.
  • the invention further relates to a method for folding a garment, comprising the steps of:
  • the arrangement of the access opening according to the invention allows the torso portion to be turned inside out through the access opening with the closing means open.
  • the garment is typically turned inside out by grasping the interior of the torso portion at a location near the second side and/or the upper edge, followed by pulling the grasped location through the access opening.
  • the second leg part and the first and second sleeve are being enclosed by the exterior of torso part and the first leg part which are facing inwardly, substantially hiding the exterior of the garment, which makes the garment less prone to contamination. In this configuration, the exterior of the front and rear side of the torso portion abut against each other.
  • the garment may then be folded along lines parallel to the longitudinal axis to reduce the width of the garment to the width of the aperture of the pouch, after which the garment is fold from the free end of the leg part towards the head aperture to form a substantial cuboid-shaped form, i.e. rectangular-shaped in a top view form with a thickness which form is then put in the pouch.
  • the garment also comprises a hood
  • the hood is arranged between the exterior of the torso portion before the torso portion is folded to let the exterior of the front and rear side of the torso portion touch each other.
  • the provided garment is a garment according to at least the first embodiment of the garment according to the invention, wherein step g) comprises the step of pulling the pouch of the garment around the cuboid-shaped form.
  • the provision of a pouch provides advantages which have been described.
  • the side of the pouch which is the interior when wearing the garment is pulled over the folded garment for putting the folded garment in the pouch, thereby turning the pouch inside out.
  • the method further comprises the step of folding a free end of at least one of the first and second leg part from its free end towards around a part between its free end and its connected end.
  • At least one of the first and second leg part are folded, preferably after step c).
  • the garment preferably comprises interlocking means for fixing the respective leg parts in this step before step e), as is previously described.
  • the invention further relates to a folded garment, obtainable by a method for folding according to the invention.
  • the invention further relates to a method for donning a folded garment, comprising the steps of:
  • the method for donning according to the invention provides a very efficient method for donning the garment according to the invention which can be carried out by the wearer of the garment all by himself, without risks of contamination compared to the prior art.
  • first, second and third loop as previously discussed thereby provides an efficient and easy way for a wearer to determine the position near between the connected ends of the first and second leg part (first loop), between the second leg part and the second sleeve (second loop) and a position comfortably holding the garment while putting a first of the two arms of the wearer, proximate to the first leg, through the second sleeve of the garment (third loop) .
  • the method for donning can be performed in a merely equivalent way by replacing the second step of the method by an equivalent step of removing the garment from a separate bag instead of an integral pouch.
  • the garment may be provided with a manual comprising a description with the steps of the method for donning according to the invention.
  • Figure 1 shows a frontal view of a garment 1 with a torso portion 2 with a longitudinal axis 3, a first side 4, a second side 5, a lower edge 6, an upper edge 7, a first arm aperture 8, a second arm aperture 9, a first leg aperture 10, a second leg aperture 11 and a head aperture 12.
