Description

1 2781340

  The subject of the invention is an aquatic garment of the combination type, in particular of a

aquatic surface clothing.

  The clothing currently used is scuba diving clothing. These clothes are flexible waterproof suits, cut to be very close to the body. They are usually made up of pants and a jacket. The top of the pants goes up very high and the jacket comes with a crotch to hang on the pants. To close at the front of the jacket and pants, links exist such as zip fasteners and / or eyelets and swivel rings. Belt fasteners at both

  front sections of the jacket create areas that are not flexible but, on the contrary, rigid.

  For this purpose, some diving suit jackets to avoid these drawbacks have zippers on the side, that is to say from a low point of the waist to end above the shoulder. Attachment area curves to reduce discomfort

  generated by this non-flexible part.

  The state of the art can be defined by the following patents: EP - A - 0526377: Combination of the type comprising an inflatable bladder making it possible to obtain degrees of buoyancy adjustable at will, for example for the practice of swimming with a snorkel . The suit includes an upper jersey part, surrounding the chest and back, the user's torso and an airtight inflatable bladder, attached at different points to the part of the jersey that covers the chest, by means of a pair at least

  elastic bands, so as to allow limited movement relative to the jersey.

  The bladder is practically flat, flat against the jersey, when deflated, and can move freely relative to the jersey while inflated. The connection between the bladder and the undershirt is achieved by means of a number of several elastic bands which allow relative movement between the bladder and the undershirt in the form of a vest. As a result, the inflation of the bladder has little or no influence on the fit of the shirt to the torso of the user. The undershirt is preferably made of Neoprene or some similar to rubber such as that used for diving clothes for frogmen. The connection between the bladder and the garment below it is also completed by areas filled with "Velcro" (registered trademark), on the surfaces in contact with the bladder and the

undershirt.

Application in particular to

scuba diving.

  FR - A - 2.620.416: The invention relates to underwater diving clothing in which the jacket or the jacket part if the clothing is one-piece is inflatable, excluding the hood and the limbs. The inflatable part of said jacket consists of two neoprene walls, one external and one external glued together on the edges at the neckline, armholes and bottom forming between them an inflatable waterproof space at

  using the hose. The safety valve prevents overpressures.

  FR - A - 2.557.435. The object of the invention relates to the technical sector of clothing. This garment is executed in two parts that can easily and at will assemble or separate, a first part being constituted by the garment without the sleeves, the second part comprises the sleeves being formed to cover at least partially the first part of the garment connecting the sleeves; means for assembling the two parts of the garment, so that after assembly, the armholes la of the first part are in front of the inlet of the sleeves of the second part, said means allowing the complete separation of the two parts of the garment or only a partial separation to allow the hiding of the sleeves. The invention is used in particular for mountain, ski, hunting, hiking jackets, etc. This patent describes a bolero (small sleeveless jacket) on which a reinforcement jacket can be attached. This jacket is fixed on its periphery by buttons. There is no

3,2781340

  flexibility, nor possible sliding of the jacket on the bolero and vice versa. There is no

pants in this garment.

  At the level of the attachments, there is no elasticity since by definition these attachments are

  rigid. There is therefore always a discomfort in the movements of the user.

  The invention tends to eliminate all of these problems. So there is no quick coupler,

  no zipper between the jacket and the pants.

  To this end, the garment according to the invention is of the one-piece type cut from a

  flexible, elastic material of the neoprene type.

  The different parts are joined by flexible seams or collages and stitching to form, on the one hand, the lower part (pants or pants) and the upper part called jersey. The front or rear part of the pants is extended on one side by the upper part of the jumpsuit to form the jersey, it has an opening for the passage

  of the head, and after the opening, the part extends to form the other side of the jersey.

  According to one embodiment, the other face of the jersey which is not in direct extension of the pants or the panties ends in two flexible lateral tabs which come to close the jersey on this face around the waist when the user has threaded

  the suit and put your head in the hole provided for this purpose.

  According to another embodiment, the other face of the jersey which is not in direct extension of the pants or the panties ends in a tubular piece which must also be threaded after having passed the head in the orifice provided for this effect, and this so that this tubular part is threaded by the head or starting with the feet and then raised to the level of the belt, the jersey thus being well maintained above the pants. The part of the jersey which is not attached to the pants or the panties, largely covers it and is intended to slide on the corresponding part of the pants which dates back to this

  level on the body to facilitate this sliding.

  According to another embodiment, the upper part which extends on one side from the waist of the pants to form the jersey is located on the front face of the pants,

or the ventral part.

  According to one embodiment, the upper part which extends on one side from the waist of the pants to form the jersey is located on the rear face of the pants,

dorsal part.

  The part of the jersey which is intended to partially cover the top of the pants largely covers the same at this level of the pants - jersey cover, the cutting of the

  pants form a rise to accentuate said overlap and sliding.

  The material used for marine use and in particular for surface activities, must facilitate the sliding of the two overlapping parts (pants - jersey), this is

of a smooth material.

  The jersey may have long sleeves, short sleeves, be without

sleeves, with or without collar.

  The pants can be long, semi-long or short.

  The aquatic garment of the combination type is represented in FIG. 1. According to one embodiment, this garment 1 is cut from a flexible, elastic fabric of the type

neoprene or whatever.

  The different parts that make up this garment 1 are assembled by flexible stitching or stitching and stitching to form on the one hand, the lower part 2 which forms the pants or pants and the upper part 3 called the garment jersey. The front or rear part of the pants 2 extends on one side to form the upper part of the combination to form the jersey 3. According to the embodiment shown in Figure 3, it is the rear part of the pants which extends to form the upper part of the jersey 3. This upper part 3 has an orifice 4 which allows the passage of the head. After the orifice, this part 3 extends to form the other face 5 of the jersey. According to the embodiment shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, the other side of the jersey 5 which is located after the orifice 4 for the passage of the head ends in two side tabs 6 and 7, flexible side tabs which close the jersey 3 around the waist when the user has put on the garment or

  combination 1 and when it has passed its head in the orifice 4 provided for this purpose.

  As can be seen in this figure 1 in its front part the pants are

  extends beyond the waist to protect the belly well.

  Figure 1 is a view where the combination is laid flat.

  Figure 2 is a view where the suit or garment is set in volume by the same

  way as if the user had placed it on him.

  We find the pants or panties with short legs 2, the jersey 3 with its front face, its side tabs 6 and 7, the ends of the side tabs 6 and 7 have hooking means 8 and 9 which make it possible to fix the flexible side tabs 6 and 7 which

  come down at the waist on the front of garment 1.

  Figure 2 is a view of the garment of the suit 1 seen from the back, so we find the pants, the orifice 4 for the passage of the head, the legs 6 and 7, the fastening means 8 and 9, the legs flexible side 6 and 7. This combination or garment 1 has pants or breeches 2 whose legs are short. The upper part or upper part 3 forms a jersey

without sleeves.

  Of course in other embodiments, the jersey could have a collar, short sleeves or long sleeves. Similarly, the lower part 2 could have a

  breeches or pants with long or semi-long legs.

  As shown in Figure 9 in the different movements of the user, there is no discomfort because there is no rigid part between the jacket or the jersey and the pants

6 2781340

  or the pants. Indeed, everything remains flexible and there is a sliding as shown in the

  arrows F1 and F2 between the upper part or jersey and the lower part of the pants.

  In these conditions, this combination is ideal for all surface water activities. According to another embodiment shown in Figures 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, the garment 10 has a jersey which is not open but closed since the part which is not in the extension of the lower part 11 which forms the pants or the panties forms a tubular part. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the lower part 11 which forms the panties or the pants is extended by an upper part or upper part 12 which forms the jersey 13. In this embodiment, it is the front part pants 11 which extend into the upper part 12, which will form the jersey 13. This upper part 12 forms the front face 14 of the jersey, the sleeves 15 and 16 as well as an orifice 17 for the passage of the head possibly with a border which forms the neck 18. The rear part 22 of said jersey extends to end with a border 19 which largely covers the rear part

pants 11.

  The upper part or jersey 12 ends beyond the orifice of the head by the part or rear face of the jersey by a tubular piece 21 which must also be threaded after having passed the head in the orifice provided for this purpose orifice 17 and so that this tubular part 21 is threaded starting with the feet and then raised to the level of the belt as shown in Figures 6 and 7. This tubular part 21 therefore surrounds the dorsal part and the ventral part of the 'user. It keeps jersey 12 above

  pants 11 and this without any ties hindering the user in his movements.

  The part 22 of the jersey 12 which is not integral with the pants or the pants, however, largely covers the pants 11 in its rear upper part. At this point, the panties

  goes up widely to facilitate sliding as shown in Figures F1 and F2.

  In this embodiment, the combination garment 10 is the upper part

  front of the pants which is extended to form the jersey 12.

  As shown in Figures 6, 7 and 8, the user first puts on pants or breeches 11 then passes the head through the hole 17 and the arms through the sleeves 15 and 16. According to a mode of setting in place, the tubular part 21 is threaded by the head as shown by the arrow F3. According to another embodiment, the tubular part 21 is threaded by the feet as shown by the arrow F4 in FIG. 8. The tubular part 21 is pulled down, the user squats to pass it between his legs and go up

7 2781340

  this tubular part 21 which forms a belt on the front face 14 of the garment and which forms the

  back of the jersey 12 on the back 22.

  In this embodiment, there is no fixed or rigid attachment point. Clothing

  composed of all its parts is flexible and elastic.

  Without departing from the scope of the invention it is possible to adapt this garment to other activities

  sports or techniques requiring very little constraint in movement.
