PROTECTIVE GARMENT.
Application filed Janua y 20, 923.
To (ZZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HUoo Go'nnsarrrir, a citizen of the United States of America, and
a resident of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in a Protective Garment, of which the following is a specification.
An object of my invention is to provioe a simple and efficient protective garment especially adapted for use by participants in such games as foot ball.
Another objectof my invention is to pro vide a device that will readily conform to the body of the wearer. and that will afford a maximum of protection.
Another object of my invention is to pro vide a device of this nature which may be adjusted to meet the physique of various wearers.
These and other objects are attained by the means described herein and disclosed in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a rear view of a pair of foot ball trousers having mounted upon them, a protective garment embodying my invention;
Fig. 2 is a top view showing the protective garment and the trousers shown in Fig. 1 taken on line 22 of 3.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 8-3 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a view showing the outer face of a modified form of a protective garment embodying my invention.
Fig. 5 is a view showing the opposite side of the protective garment disclosed in Fig. 1.
The protective garment disclosed in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive comprises a fabric waist band 6 adapted to extend about the waist of a wearer and to have its ends 8 and 9 secured upon one another at the front of the wearer by suitable means such as a lac ing 10. The waist band has mounted on its inner face a pad 11 of felt or similar shock absorbing material. The pad 11 is substantially coextensive with the waist band 6 and has depending flaps 12 and 13 adapted to extend about the thighs of a wearer. The waist band 6 has depending aprons 1 1 and 50 15 extending partly over the flaps 12 and 13, and rows of stitching 16 extend through the aprons and the flaps and form pockets 17 in which are disposed reenforcing strips 18 of fiber or other suitable material for this purpose. The pockets 17 and the strips 18 Serial No. (513,832.
preferably extend in parallelism and are so disposed as to extend lengthwise of a wearer of the protective rment. Other rows of stitching 19 extend about the waist band 6 and pad 11 and provide pockets 20 for the reception of strips 21 of fiber or other suit able material. The strips 21 extend substantially one-half the distance about the waist band, and terminate adjacent the ends 8 and 9 of the waist band as disclosed in Fig. 2. The inner or rear ends 22 of the strips 21 are spaced at a slight distance at the rear of the garment, as disclosed in Fig. 2. In this way a substantially hinged structure is effected at the rear 23 of the garment. Eyelets 2% formed in the protective garment are adapted to receive lacing 25. The trousers 26 have eyelets 27 adapted to receive lacing 28. The protective garment has pairs of vertically aligned eyelets 29, the lower pairs of which may be moved into registration with the eyelets 27 of the garment and through which the lacing 28 may be inserted whereby to adjust the protective garment and trousers. Similar eyelets and lacings are provided at the sides of the trousers and garment for relative adjustment of the garment and trousers. The lacing is adapted to be inserted through various of the aligned eyelets 30 carried by a spline protecting pad 31. The spine protecting pad is adapted to lie upon the inner surface of the protecting garment at the rear 23 thereof and of fords protection to the wearer adjacent the hmged portion of the protective garment. The spine protector 31 may be adjusted vertically in relation to the protective gar ment 6 and the trousers 26, and comprises a base of fabric 32 and a pad 33 of felt or similar material secured upon one another by rows of stitching whereby to provide pockets for the reception of protective strips 330 of fiber or suitable other material.
Protective pads or garments made as disclosed herein provide adequate and ample protection to the hips, thighs and spine of the wearer, and flexes to the body of the wearer. The horizontal protective strips 21 in no way interfere with the flexing of the garment 6, yet attain all the advantages of any device of this nature as yet made. My device obiates the objectional feature of other devices in that the strips 21 will not penetrate the sides of the protective garment and of the The spine protector, the protector garment and the trous ers may be adjusted in relation one to the other, to suit the wishes of the wearer and will provide ample protection in whatever position they may be placed. The structure disclosed herein permits the protector pads to conform to the body of the wearer to a greater degree than is possible in similar devices heretofore produced.
In the structure disclosed in Figs. 4; and 5, the protective garment comprises separate side portions 3a and 35, each of which carry eyelets 36 that may be brought into registration with eyelets 37 in the spine pad 38. The lacings 39 connects the side portions or pads 34 and upon the spine pad, whereby to effect a single complete protective belt substantially identical tothe structure disclosed in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. The structure disclosed in Fig. 4f: has an advantage in that the girth of the waist band may be modified by spacing. the adjacent ends 40 and it of the side pads at varying distances and then securingthe sidepads up on the spine pad in such spaced relationship. In this form, the spine pad functions as the hinged connection between the side pads.
\Vhat I claim is:
1. A protective garment comprising a waist band, a felt pad connected with the waist band, rows of stitching extending longitudinally of the waist band, and pad forming spaced parallel elongated pockets for encircling a wearer at the waist, protective strips in the pockets, and depending thigh and spine protecting pads carried by the waist band and the felt pad.
2. In a protective garment a waist band comprising a pair of elongated fabric strips, for jointly encircling a wearers waist, the ends of the strips meeting at substantially the centers of the front and back of the garment, a felt pad for each fabric strip, parallel rows of stitching connecting the pads to their respective fabric strips and providing a plurality of vertically spaced elongateail pockets extending substantially circumferentially of the garment at the waist thereof, flexible protective strips in the'pockets, a spine protector comprising 21 waist portion disposed at the adjacent rear ends of the fabric strips, and a depending portion flexibly connected with thewaist portion thereof, means for detachably and adjustably connecting: the waist portionof the spine protector to the adjacent ends of the fabric strips, and flexible thigh guards depending from the waist band.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name this 15th day of January, 1923.
