Abstract
A wetsuit and wetsuit fabric made of a multi-layer laminated fabric material having a plurality of interconnected air channels formed between the fabric layers. The air channels are formed by unattached regions between fabric layers that are otherwise attached such as by gluing. The unattached regions are free to separate from each other and expand in response to pressure from a gas such as air under pressure. The air is preferably introduced through a valve such as by the wearer blowing air into the valve to fill the air channels thereby expanding these “unglued” regions. In a preferred embodiment, the air channels are selectively shaped to form a plurality of adjacent cells, thereby adding to the aesthetic appearance of the wetsuit fabric. These cells may be virtually any shape depending simply on the path chosen for the air channels. The fabric employing expandable air channels may be employed at virtually any location in a wetsuit as well as in accessories such as gloves, boots and hoods.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to the field of wetsuits used for diving, surfing and the like, and more specifically to an improved wetsuit made of a multiple layer laminated fabric having inflatable air channels in a selected portion of the wetsuit. A valve is provided to permit selective inflation of the air channels to induce a plurality of inflated regions preferably in an aesthetically attractive pattern. The selected portion, when inflated, also provides added thermal insulation and impact protection.
- 2. Background Art
- There have been numerous disclosures of wetsuits which employ a fabric carrying internal channels, sacs and the like for containing a material for better controlling temperature. By way of example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,960,469 to Nuckols et al discloses a wetsuit or drysuit having an internal manifold for circulating an insulating liquid near the skin to protect a diver in cold water. In another example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,004,662 to Buckley discloses a laminated composite material containing a thermal buffer in the form of phase change material embedded in capsules. Other prior art discloses wetsuits designed to protect the wearer against inadvertent impact. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,434,749 to Grounds et al, discloses a wetsuit having inserted pads in selected areas. The pads are placed in pockets which may be between wetsuit layers or in sealed sacs containing a gel, water or air.
- Such prior art tends to be either very cumbersome, or irreversible and generally does nothing to add to the aesthetic appearance of the wetsuit.
- It would be highly advantageous to have a wetsuit made of a fabric having built-in channels for receiving a gas such as air which could add to the thermal insulation properties of the fabric while also affording a degree of impact protection. It would also be advantageous if such a fabric employed such channels in a selected pattern which added to the aesthetic appearance of the wetsuit when inflated. Moreover, it would be useful if such channels could be selectively inflated and deflated by the wetsuit wearer with minimal effort and inconvenience.
- The present invention comprises a wetsuit and wetsuit fabric made of a multi-layer laminated fabric material having a plurality of interconnected air channels formed between the fabric layers. The air channels are formed by unattached regions between fabric layers that are otherwise attached such as by gluing. The unattached regions are free to separate from each other and expand in response to pressure from a gas such as air under pressure. The air is preferably introduced through a valve such as by the wearer blowing air into the valve to fill the air channels thereby expanding these “unglued” regions. In a preferred embodiment, the air channels are selectively shaped to form a plurality of adjacent cells, thereby adding to the aesthetic appearance of the wetsuit fabric.
- In the embodiment described herein, these cells are hexagonal in shape, however, it will be understood that these cells may be virtually any shape depending simply on the path chosen for the air channels. The disclosed embodiment illustrates application of the invention in the front and back chest area of a wetsuit. However, it will also be understood that the fabric employing expandable air channels may be employed at virtually any location in a wetsuit as well as in accessories such as gloves, boots and hoods. Irrespective of their shape and location, the expandable air channels within the layers of a wetsuit fabric, provide increased thermal insulation, improved impact protection and a new aesthetic effect in the wetsuit design. All of these advantages are achieved without substantially complicating the manufacture of the wetsuit fabric by simply controlling the application of glue between the fabric layers such as by embossing the glue in a selected pattern before joining the layers.
- The aforementioned objects and advantages of the present invention, as well as additional objects and advantages thereof, will be more fully understood hereinafter as a result of a detailed description of a preferred embodiment when taken in conjunction with the following drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a preferred embodiment of a wetsuit in accordance with the present invention, shown in a deflated configuration; -
FIG. 2 is a view similar toFIG. 1 , but shown in an inflated configuration; -
FIG. 3 is a rear view of the preferred embodiment shown in the inflated configuration; -
FIG. 4 is an enlarged front view of the chest portion of the wetsuit ofFIG. 2 ; -
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the deflated chest portion taken along lines 6-6 ofFIG. 4 ; -
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the inflated chest portions taken along lines 6-6 ofFIG. 4 ; -
FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of a portion of the cross-section ofFIG. 5 ; -
FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of a portion of the cross-section ofFIG. 6 ; -
FIG. 9 is a still further enlarged front view of the chest portion; -
FIG. 10 is a greatly enlarged cross-sectional view taken along lines 10-10 ofFIG. 9 ; and -
FIG. 11 is a view similar toFIG. 10 , but taken along lines 11-11 ofFIG. 9 . - Referring to the accompanying drawings, it will be seen in
FIGS. 1-11 that in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, awetsuit 10 comprises aunique chest portion 11. This portion of the wetsuit has uniquely constructed fabric comprising anouter layer 12 and aninner layer 13 wherein selected regions therebetween are left unattached by omitting the glue that otherwise affixes the layers together everywhere else in the wetsuit fabric. These regions are of selected size, shape and location to form a plurality of interconnectedair channels 15 which are seen best inFIGS. 10 and 11 . The network of interconnected air channels shown for example inFIG. 4 , are in fluid communication with a valve preferably extending from the upper chest area of thewetsuit 10 to provide easy access to the wearer's mouth when it is desired to fill theair channels 15 with pressurized air. When this occurs, the relatively flat chest uninflated portion 11 (shown inFIG. 1 ) takes on the rather unique inflated design appearance shown inFIG. 2 . The effect of inflating the air channels throughvalve 14 may be best understood by comparingFIGS. 5 and 6 and by comparingFIGS. 7 and 8 . InFIGS. 5 and 7 , theair channels 15 are uninflated and the adjacent layers of fabric are close together having virtually the same appearance as those portions of thewetsuit 10 without air channels such as the legs, arms, etc. However, when the wearer forcefully exhales through thevalve 14, theair channels 15 fill with pressurized air thereby expanding as shown inFIGS. 6 and 8 and forming inflated or raisedregions 16 which alter the external appearance of the chest portion of the wetsuit. - As shown in
FIGS. 9-11 , theair channels 15 are preferably shaped to form non-inflated regions or cells which have a uniform pattern that may add to the aesthetic appearance of the wetsuit. By way of illustration, the embodiment shown herein has such cells which have a hexagonal shape. However, it will be understood that the shape of the air channels, and thus of the uninflated areas between air channels as well, may be virtually any configuration, limited only by the imagination of the manufacturer of the wetsuit fabric. Thus one may readily create cells of other shapes including, for example, round, rectangular, triangular and the like. - Although, a principal advantage of the present invention is the enhanced aesthetic appearance of a wetsuit incorporating selected regions having such patterns of air channels, other potential benefits are also derived therefrom. The inflated channels tend to provide improved temperature insulation which can be beneficial to divers in cold water. Moreover, the inflated channels provide limited resistance to inadvertent impact by helping to dissipate the kinetic energy of an incident blow to the diver's body.
- Based upon the foregoing, it will now be understood that the present invention comprises an improved wetsuit and wetsuit fabric which provides significant advantages in the wetsuit art. Although a preferred embodiment of the invention has been disclosed herein, the illustrated example is for purposes of facilitating a better understanding of the inventive features and should not be deemed to be limiting of the invention's scope. Therefore, the protection afforded herein is to be limited only by the appended claims and their equivalents.
