[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wet suit, and more particularly to improvement of an opening such as a neck.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, conventional wet suits are generally formed by partially opening openings such as a collar, a cuff, and an ankle, and a slide fastener is attached to these cuts. By providing the slide fastener and thus opening and closing the suit body, the wet suit can be attached and detached.

However, a conventional wet suit using a slide fastener has the following problems. First,
Water cannot escape from the slide zipper part, and wetsuits cannot maintain excellent waterproofness. Secondly, since the slide fastener has no elasticity, the size (thickness) of the opening such as the neck is constant when the slide fastener is closed.
Cannot be worn by people with different neck circumferences. Usually, a material having some elasticity is used for the wetsuit body, but the elasticity of the wetsuit itself is limited.

[0004]

As described above, a wet suit using a conventional slide fastener has a problem in adaptability to different people such as waterproofness and thickness around a neck. An object of the present invention is to provide a wetsuit that does not use a slide fastener and that can be easily attached and detached while ensuring excellent waterproofness and adaptability to people with different thicknesses around the neck.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a wetsuit consisting suit body using a heat insulating material having extension compression resistance, the nape section, cuffs, ankle, and a suit jacket skirt of of cut open at least one opening part, its cut so as to close the waterproof fabric to be folded between the suit body and the body when worn without a fan shape in the opened state is sewn, the suit during wear because given the direction of the force to close the cut in Tsu pull along the cut the body
Of the handle, and both the handle and the suit body
A first fixing device for engaging a person and a waterproof cloth.
Folding part and opening of the waterproof cloth to fix to the main body
Second fixing provided on the inner wall of
And a tool .

[0006]

[0007]

The wet suit according to the present invention is detachable without providing a slide fastener at a cut such as a neck. A waterproof cloth is sewn on the cut of the neck and the like so as to close it, and a knob that is pulled at the time of wearing and fixed to the suit body is provided at the tip of the cut, and the waterproof cloth is attached to the suit when worn. An opening such as a neck is tightened in a state of being folded between the bodies, and excellent waterproofness is secured. In addition, since the slide fastener is not used, the size of the opening can be adjusted according to the thickness of the neck circumference etc.,
It is adaptable to the size of the body, and the feeling of oppression can be adjusted freely. Further, by providing a fixing tool such as a cloth fastener for fixing the folded portion of the waterproof cloth to the inner wall of the opening, more excellent waterproofness can be obtained. That is, the upper end of the waterproof cloth is fixed to the inner wall of the opening of the suit body when worn, and then the knob is pulled and fixed to the suit body, whereby a state in which the waterproof cloth adheres well to the neck or the like is obtained.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 4 show the structure of the neck portion of the wet suit according to one embodiment of the present invention in four stages from an open state to a closed state. FIG. 5 is a view of the state of FIG. 4 as viewed from the back. Although FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 are described as the suit front and FIG. 5 as the back, the front and rear may be reversed.

The wet suit body 1 is made of a stretchable heat insulating material such as chloroprene foamed sponge rubber. The opening of the neck is partially cut out as in the case of attaching a slide fastener. In this embodiment, a slide fastener is not provided in the cut 2, and a waterproof cloth 3 is sewn so as to cover the cut 2. The waterproof cloth 3 has a substantially fan shape with the cut 2 opened, as shown in FIG.

At the upper end of the cut 2 of the suit body 1, a band-shaped knob 4 protruding laterally from the cut 2 is formed continuously with the suit body 1. When the knob 4 is worn, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the knob 4 is pulled around the neck and fixed to the back of the suit body 1. For this reason, a cloth fastener (velvet fastener) 5a as a fixing tool is provided at the tip of the knob 4 and the back of the suit body 1.
5b is attached. The cloth fastener 5b on the back surface of the suit body 1 is formed to have a certain large area so that it can sufficiently cope with a change in the position of the tip for fixing the knob 4 depending on the size of the body and the degree of tightening. Cloth fasteners 6a and 6b for fixing the upper end of the waterproof cloth 3 to the suit body 1 are also attached to the inner wall near the upper end of the waterproof cloth 3 and near the upper end of the neck opening. These cloth fasteners 6a and 6b are also formed with a necessary length so as to be able to cope with a displacement of a bonding position.

As shown in FIG. 1, the waterproof cloth 3 is attached to the suit body 1 and the body by pulling the knob 4 around the neck while pulling the knob 4 as shown in FIGS. Will be folded in between. At this time, as an actual operation, at the stage of FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, the folded portion of the waterproof cloth 3 is pulled so that the folded body side surface is in close contact with the neck, and the fastener 6a on the waterproof cloth 3 side is pulled. The fastener 5a is fixed to the fastener 6b of the suit body 1, and the knob 4 is pulled diagonally upward and turned to the back along the shoulder to fix the fastener 5a to the fastener 5b.

When worn by such an operation, as shown in FIG. 3, a force A in the direction of tightening the opening of the neck and a force in the direction of closing the cut 2 are applied to the collar by a force F which is pulled obliquely upward. B works. As a result, the upper end of the waterproof cloth 3 is folded and sandwiched between the body and the suit body 1 without any gap. Water intrusion is reliably prevented. In addition, since the size of the neck opening can be changed arbitrarily, the body is highly adaptable to the size. There is no need to use any special external parts for fastening the opening, and the attachment and detachment are easy.

A material 7 having irregularities on its inner surface is preferably used at the uppermost portion of the neck as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. Here, FIG. 6 is a development view, and FIG. 7 is a cutaway perspective view at the AA 'position. By using such a concavo-convex material at the upper end of the opening, more excellent waterproofness can be obtained.

Although the above description has been made solely of the neck, the same structure can be similarly applied to other openings of the wetsuit. FIG. 8 shows the overall configuration of such a wet suit. In addition to the structure described in the above embodiment being employed for the collar 11, a similar opening / closing mechanism that does not use a slide fastener is also used for the cuff 12, the ankle 13, and the jacket hem 14.

The present invention is not necessarily required to be applied to all openings as shown in FIG. 8, but is effective if applied to at least one opening, and can be used together with another opening / closing mechanism. Can also. Further, the knob for adjusting the degree of tightening of the opening is formed in a long band shape with respect to the collar and neck, and the tip is fixed to the back surface. However, it is not always necessary to be long like a band. As shown in the example of the opening other than the neck portion of FIG. 8, the knob closes the upper end of the cut and has a tongue large enough to accommodate the range of the size of the opening requiring adaptation. Any piece is acceptable. Further, as a fixing means of the knob 4 and the waterproof cloth 3, a snap, a hook, or the like can be used in addition to the cloth fastener.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, a waterproof cloth is sewn to an opening of a collar or the like without using a slide fastener, so that it is easy to put on and take off, waterproof and body size. And a wet suit with improved adaptability to the wet suit.
