Description
TITLE OF INVENTION
Two PIECE DRYSUIT
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a dry or semi-dry suit intended for marine sports such as sailing, sail boarding, surfing, paddling diving and so on.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] It is known in the art to provide a dry suit or semi dry suit comprising a 1-piece garment constructed from a substantially watertight textile or rubber material or composite thereof. Whereby said garment features watertight seals around the neck, wrists and ankles or watertight fabric gloves and/or socks that are combined with the suit. In order to facilitate entry into said suits it is known in the art to incorporate a watertight zipper positioned on either the front or back of the garment. Said seals are generally bulky with little flexibility and therefore provide much discomfort to the user, said seals also require significant maintenance in order to function correctly and are a common cause of failure of the suit and also add significant cost to the its manufacture.
[0003] It is known to provide a two-piece dry suit comprising trousers and a jacket top which are interconnected at the waist by a so-called rolled seal. Annular rubber sealing flaps are attached to the waist of the trousers and to the bottom edge of the jacket and are adapted to lie one over the other when the two pieces of the suit are put on. To make the seal the two flaps are rolled up together from their free lower edges.
[0004] US patent 2,570,019 discloses a method of applying a tight fitting belt or cummerbund around the waist over the rolled seal.The belt applies considerable pressure to the stomach region of the wearer, which does not constitute a serious disadvantage for divers operating at depths where substantial pressures are experienced. For others, however, such as sailors who spend their time at or above the water surface the pressure from the suit belt can cause much discomfort.
[0005] US Patent 4,535,477 discloses a 2-piece dry suit having sealing bands for producing a rolled seal between the two pieces at the waist of the suit. An additional overlying part, fastened to one piece of the suit extends across the rolled seal into co-operation with the other piece of the suit in order to secure to seal in the rolled condition. Whilst this invention provides less pressure around the waist of the wearer, considerable bulk and stiffness of the rolled seals still exists. Said sealing bands are also commonly manufactured from a latex rubber or similar material which is not durable to ultraviolet light or abrasion or puncture and is therefore easily damaged during the process of dressing the suit, during normal use or during storage and transport.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The present invention aims to provide a solution to the problems mentioned above by providing a two-piece drysuit whereby the top is combined with the lower section by means of a series of overlapping flaps that combine to create a less bulky seal with greater flexibility and comfort to the wearer. The present invention also allows the use of materials in the seal between the 2 pieces that are more stable in ultraviolet light and salt water than those required by the inventions mentioned above thereby providing improved durability.
