DESCRIPTION

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR BRUSHING AND AGAINST PITTING

OF INSECTS

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to an equestrian or protective clothing for individual use, which protects an operator who performs clearing work, and which avoids the risk of blows, with their consequent scratches or rubs, and / or insect bites, preferably Velutine wasps, although it can be any other type of wasp and / or insect.

This equipment is designed to be used preferably by professionals who are dedicated to clearing and / or other forestry tasks such as pruning, both in the private and public sectors, but it is also intended for gardeners or private individuals.

The field of the invention is framed within the different types of devices, equipment or protective means of professionals who perform risky work, and is specifically framed within the sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of special garments and / or protective equipment individual.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Protective clothing or equipment is widely known within the sector related to risky jobs and, therefore, is classified according to the specific risk for the specific job to be carried out. For this reason, protective clothing is known ranging from protection against fire to protective clothing against insect bites.

As a general rule, all these different types of protective equipment have the problem that they are not versatile and are usually used only in an emergency and exclusively for that specific emergency. For example, a fire-retardant equipment of a firefighter cannot be used by a policeman, and in any case, that fire-retardant equipment is only used by the firefighter just when he is going to proceed with an emergency task, taking it off immediately after that act of service. This problem of little versatility takes on a greater degree of problems when an operator is in a space with multiple potential risks, without one in particular, and where those risks can appear throughout the entire working day. A clear example is that of operators in forest areas, who are exposed to risks of blows, rubbing, scratches and / or insect bites, some of them, such as the velutina wasp, have very harmful consequences for the health of the operator.

In this sense, what is disclosed in document ES1143585 U is known, which is a suit to remove wasp nests that comprises a hood and a jumpsuit, but which has the drawback that the head is not properly protected since the hood is not jointly attached to the overall that protects the body, therefore, the hood can be detached in the event of a fall, and furthermore, this hood has no reinforcements against scratches or bumps.

It is also known what is disclosed in document ES1189784U, which describes equipment for rapid intervention against dangerous flying insects, which has the advantage precisely of being able to be placed quickly in case of emergency, but has the drawback of that it cannot be used for other types of work apart from avoiding bites, since it is a rigid garment, and also it is not a single garment, but is made up of a plurality of elements joined together, which means that, like that in the former case, there may be risks of some part of the body being discovered in certain types of interventions.

It is also known what is disclosed in document ES1222549U where a clothing is described that a user can put on quickly in the event of an urgent intervention and that is versatile for various uses or a relatively long use. However, this clothing has the problem that it does not protect the legs or the lower part of the body of the user, therefore, for forestry tasks, for example, clearing the forest, the user has the entire lower body exposed and exposed to multiple risks derived from scratches or rubbing caused by branches or falling objects, and / or from the bite of insects.

This makes it necessary to develop personal protective equipment that can be worn by a user throughout their working day, that it is comfortable to be able to carry out their work, and that it fully protects their entire body without the risk that part of the clothing may come off. At this point, clearing work takes on special importance, where it may happen that in the middle of a hedge there is a velutina wasp nest, which the operator has not seen, and by clearing the hedge you are threatening the wasps with what the attack hundreds of wasps to is unavoidable. If the clothing does not have added protection against this risk of bites the result can be fatal, in fact it is known that this type of attack has already occurred on many occasions, resulting in the death of the operator, gardener or private person.

Therefore, taking into account the known antecedents and the existing problems in intervention work in the face of an emergency or work with prolonged exposure to a potential risk such as work in the clearing or pruning forest, the present invention describes a solution consisting of a single garment that can be used for different jobs and therefore can be used by different types of users; that it is quick to install; and it is a single piece that covers the entire body of the operator, which prevents part of it from detaching when the operator is working with the clothing and therefore, at all times all parts of his body are protected.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The personal protective equipment object of the present invention is constituted by a diving suit of a textile nature that comprises a work overall that covers the entire body and has a front closure so that the user can get dressed, and a hood with a wraparound configuration that protects the head, and where the overalls and the hood are fixed to each other by means of a zipper that ensures that the hood does not detach from the overalls when the operator is performing his / her tasks. The personal protective equipment object of the present invention, therefore, is composed of several elements to ensure the integrity of the operator who uses it.

On the one hand, the jumpsuit is a multi-layer and padded fabric garment that protects the trunk and upper and lower extremities, leaving only the hands free, which are protected by gloves, and the feet, which are protected by protective footwear. The operator accesses the suit through a front closure. The jumpsuit fits snugly against the trunk so that in the work the user has comfort and no part of the fabric is hooked or protrudes loosely; long sleeves and legs to protect the arms and legs, preferably without flaps and outer pockets; and open frontally at the front with a zipper or button, where said front closure is secured by means of a second Velcro-type quick closure means. The width of the sleeves and legs is adjustable to fit the operator's arms and legs. Additionally, the jumpsuit comprises a plurality of pockets on the sides of the legs with zippers and gussets to give them capacity. Another peculiarity is that both the back and the sides include breathability grids, as well as various areas with reflective elements.

Regarding the constitution of the jumpsuit, the front part of it is made up of a multilayer fabric with a wall thickness of at least 10 mm and a density of at least 240 g / m2, which comprises a layer of nylon or polyamide fabric, commonly known in the textile sector as “sanity”, and with which the suit is protected from impacts and tears; with a padded fiber pad layer; and a canvas layer comprising a polyester and cotton fabric. The back part of the jumpsuit is made up of a multilayer fabric with a wall thickness of at least 10 mm and a density of at least 240 g / m2 comprising a canvas layer comprising a polyester and cotton fabric; with a padded fiber pad layer; and another layer of canvas comprising a polyester and cotton fabric. This constitution allows both the structure of the suit to comprise a frontal protection against bumps or tears, which prevent the fabric from breaking. In the solutions known to date, there is the problem that an operator when he is in a place where there are brambles or cutting branches, and is carrying out, for example, wasp nests elimination work, the movement of the operator in those forest conditions low, causes the branches or brambles to rip and break the operator's suit, which either means that those same branches can directly injure the operator, or they cause the wasps to enter the operator's clothing. This problem is solved with the multilayer fabric configuration of the present invention where the outer layer prevents the fabric from tearing and tearing.

On the other hand, the hood is a removable wrap-around garment, that is, it is a padded fabric garment with a wall thickness of at least 10 mm, made up of a multilayer fabric structure of 240 g / m2 density, and padded fiber 120 g / m2 density. The front hood comprises a thick metal mesh that protects the front part of the user's face. The rest of the head, ears, neck, or temple is protected by the padded fabric. In this sense, the lower part of the hood may have a tube cord to allow pressure to be applied and thus ensure the circular shape of the hood and therefore the hood does not lose its shape while the work is being carried out. This hood is a one-piece item, therefore a user can put the hood on extremely quickly.

It is recommended that the operator be able to put on safety glasses to improve eye protection, and / or a mask to protect the respiratory tract, these elements being commonly known by an operator, and which fit perfectly inside the hood thanks to the fact that it has that reinforcement that ensures its circular shape at all times.

As previously mentioned, the jumpsuit and the hood are joined together by a removable zipper, with both the jumpsuit and the hood having a serrated row that allows the tight closure between them, and preferably having a final reinforcement that allows the hood does not unintentionally detach from the rest of the overalls when an operator is performing his work.

In this way, the present personal protective equipment has the advantages and differences with respect to any other equipment known in the state of the art that it allows to protect the whole body against blows, tears or bites, that no part of the body is exposed given that all these parts are integrally joined together, it allows the equipment to be dressed quickly and comfortably by the user, and it is also a flexible and versatile equipment, comprising a plurality of pockets, reflective areas or perspiration zones that allow the equipment to be used for long working times without being limited to a specific job, but can be used for different tasks such as pruning or clearing, quick intervention tasks, or elimination of nests from wasps or other potentially dangerous insects.

Finally, it must be taken into account that, throughout the description and the claims, the term "comprises" and its variants are not intended to exclude other technical characteristics or additional elements.
