Description

IPC A41 D 13/00, A41 F 9/00, F41 D 25/00 Personal protective equipment against tick bites

The utility model relates to personal protective equipment against tick bites.

Known clothing impregnated with a repellent to protect against blood-sucking insects, for example, diethyltoluamide (DETA), which repels blood-sucking insects. But the action of the repellent is limited from several hours to several days (Medical Parasitology.-2000, No. 3, p. 49-50). Also, the effectiveness and duration of the repellent decreases when the clothes get wet.

Protective clothing impregnated with pyrethroid insecticides and therefore toxic to insects is also known. ("The control of disease vectors in the primary health care system. Report of the WHO scientific group, -M., 1989, p. 59)

For example, protective clothing impregnated with permethrin, a synthetic analogue of a natural insecticide, is known. Permethrin, harmless to humans and higher animals, joins the cotton fabric so firmly that it remains poisonous to insects after ten washings or more. A blood-sucking insect, such as a mosquito or a tick, getting on such clothing immediately

dies. (Florensky Yu. “Protection against bloodsuckers is required., - Science and Life, 993, No. 6, p.70)

However, making clothes completely out of this fabric is quite expensive. Also, such clothing may come in contact with the open skin of a person and have a harmful effect on it.

At present, an attack of ixodid ticks on a person in the settlements, or in public transport from people and objects that have been in an area infected with ticks, is increasingly observed. But constantly wearing clothes impregnated with an insecticide is difficult.

The proposed utility model is aimed at reducing costs in the manufacture of personal protective equipment against tick bites, preventing contact of protective equipment with open human skin and the possibility of everyday wear.

It is proposed to protect against bites of ixodid ticks using a narrow strip made of an elastic material (for example, woven or non-woven material) that kills a blood-sucking insect. Since the tick, having hit the clothes, creeps up the clothes, it is proposed to fix these strips in some way on the outer surface in the upper part of the garment so that the strip covers the human body in a closed loop. For example, sew a woven strip at the collar of a shirt or at the waist of your trousers. P1i make the proposed remedy

from ticks in the form of a trouser belt and tie from a material soaked in insecticide. Since the size of the strip is small, it is proposed to fix the protective equipment on any casual clothes. A trouser belt and tie is proposed to be worn with any items of clothing daily.

A tick, falling on a garment with a protective agent, creeps up, gets on a strip saturated with an insecticide, and dies there. When viewed, the tick is removed by improvised means (but not by hand) and destroyed. The proposed means of protection is not absolute protection against ticks and can be combined with other methods and means of protection against tick bites.

The proposed utility model allows to reduce the manufacturing cost by simplifying the design and reducing the size, to prevent the contact of protective equipment with open skin of a person, to wear protective equipment daily with any clothing.

The proposed utility model is illustrated by drawings. Figure 1 shows a garment 1 made in the form of a shirt, t-shirt, jacket. In FIG. 2 depicts a piece of clothing,

made in the form of trousers. At the top of the garments depicted in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the protective equipment 2 is fixed, made in the form of elastic strips impregnated with an insecticide.

In Fig.3 and Fig.4 depicts protective equipment 2, made in the form of a tie and trouser belt, dressed on top of clothing 1.
