FLYING SUIT Filed Jan. 22, 192'! INVENTOR 2%? ail d j! Q T5 r uick :8,
ATTORNEY AS v Patented Mar. 10, 1931 UNITED STATES- PATENT OFFICE HENRY RIDGEWAY HART, OF MON'ICLAIR, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO A. G. SPALDING- & 1 3308., OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORYOIRA'IION OF NEW JERSEY FLYING SUIT Application filed January 22, 1927. Serial No. 162,775.
The present invention relates to unitary flying suits of an improved form wherein provision is made for the protection of the wearer against all of the elements met with 5 in service.
In order to meet the requirements of warmth, freedom of movement, and convenience in dressing and undressing, the present invention proposes to provide a flying suit of three layers, each of which is of a character to provide the function for which it is selected. In order to break the wind which strikes the body an outer layer of wind-excluding material is provided and may be composed of any suitablematerial, such as very closely woven wool, ducks back cloth or gaberdine cloth. The intermediate layer is composed of chamois to keep out the moisture and the inner layer of fur to provide the necessary warm h.
The design of the suit and construction thereof carries out the above objects and provides a suit which can be worn with great facility.
Reference will now be had to the drawings for a more detailed description of the invention wherein:
Figure 1 is a view showing the improved suit on the figure of an aviator, parts being turned back in the interest of clearness.
Figure 2 is a somewhat similar view with parts broken away to show the interior construction, other parts being united to show the mannerin which they are used.
As noted above, the suit comprises throughout three thicknesses of material, each one of which is selected in accordance with its physical properties to serve a particular function. In selecting the materials for the respective layers, careful study has been given to the different .oonditions obtained when the suit is worn in flight and, in addition,- the several parts'ofthe suit are assembled in a manner to enable the operator to operate the plane with perfect freedom. For examplethe legs, not being exposed to excessive wind currents and being used in the manipulation of the plane require greater freedom than so the body of the aviator.- The arms should be constructed to enable the aviator to manipulate the control levers with facility.
In the proposed construction the suit is composed of an outer layer a of ducks back cloth, gaberdine or other closely woven mateterial which will effectively exclude the wind. The intermediate layer 6 is of chamois or oiled silk and the inner layer a is of fur. The function of the intermediate layer is to exclude the moisture and of the inner layer to provide the necessary warmth and their assemblage in the inner described enables the respective materials to function in a most effective manner.
Where the sleeves of the forearm of the 5 aviator need to be somewhat more flexible than the outer layer a thereof, the material selected should preferably be of a more yielding cloth, such as gaberdine. Between the sleeves and the body proper of the suit, cloth bellows d are provided forming the arm pits and providing a great degree of freedom without sacrificing warmth or strength. The suit is open down the front and a fastener of the hookless type c is provided for lacing the suit together to unite the two sides of the body portion and prevent any air currents from passing to the body. In order to insure aperfect joint along this scam a lapped portion 6 is provided having button holes which are so engaged by the buttons f. Around the neck a wool comforter is attached inside of a fur collar 71., the wool comforter carrying co-operating spring posts g and sockets g for ready engagement in a known manner. Woolen wrist mufilers i are secured within the 0 en ends of the sleeves and are adapted to be astened by suit ble fastening means 2" which may consist of spring studs and sockets. The
sleeves are 0 en longitudinally adjacent their lower ends ut may be quickly and convene iently closed by means of hookless'fasteners k of the same character referred to above, after the woolen mufiler i has been secured. When the sleeves are thus closed by the hook- 96 less fasteners, air is effectively excluded therefrom.
From the description given of the upper art of the suit, it will be a preci ted that it is'very tight and warm an that it may be fastened and unfastened conveniently when put on or taken off. The materials used are adapted to meet the conditions with respect to Warmth, durability and flexibility for the climate in which the suit is used.
The legs of the suit, which require greater freedom than the body portion, may be composed of an outer layer a of a material similar to the outer layer a of the sleeve, While the intermediate layer 6 is of chamois and the inner layer a of fur similar to the body portion of the suit. Adjacent the bottoms of the legs and on the inner side thereof, are openings to facilitate the application and removal of the suit, these openings being most conveniently closed by hookless fasteners i of the same known type. On the fronts of the legs the necessary pockets m are provided and opening n may be secured by hookless fasteners n in the usual manner. A belt or girdle may encircle the suit and provide the functions common thereto.
The particular features disclosed herein are of importance in contributing to the acceptance of the illustrated suit as the standard for an aviator under given conditions and the invention is not to be limited save as defined in the appended claim.
What I claim is:
In an aviators unionall suit, a body por tion having an outer layer of gaberdine, an intermediate layer of chamois, an inner layer of fur and leg portions united with the body portion and having an outer layer of gaberdine, an intermediate layer of chamois, and
an inner layer of fur.
This specification signed this 19th day of January A. D. 1927.
HENRY RIDGEWAY HART.
