COAT
Filed July 27, 1949 INVENTOR. I WOZFG/IIVG J? 1022 ATTORNEY Patented Feb. 19, 1952 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE COAT Wolfgang J. Lutz, Haag on the Hausruck, Austria Application July 27, 1949, Serial No. 106,989 In Austria July 28, 1948 4 Claims.
1 In order to protect the legs against rain, snow,- dust etc. it has already been suggested to make leg tubes from the -lower parts of a long coat,
that is, one reaching at least to the knee, and provided with a center slit in the back, and thus to form a sort of trousers. The simplest suggestion was to attach closing parts working together both at the perpendicular front edge of the coat and at the edges bordering the center slit. This solution however had the disadvantage that the leg tubes formed in this manner were on the whole cylindrical, that is, equally wide at top and bottom, through which the movements of the wearer of the coat were obstructed. In proper recognition of this drawback, it was considered to shape the leg tubes slightly wider on top than on the bottom, that is, conical. Triangular flaps were attached on both sides along the center slit for this purpose, which either extended along the entire length of the slit or only part thereof, but which always necessitated a special cut for the coat and changed its appearance in ordinary wear unfavorably.
Another solution consisted in turning the back corner formed by the meeting of the center slit with the lower coat edge, between the legs to the front and to connect it by means of a snap to the inside of the coat, to place the front part of the coat over it and to connect the front lower corner likewise by means of a snap to a point of the lower coat edge lying further back. This solution again had the disadvantage that the snaps were visible on the outside and that two coat points had to be folded over one another, which imparted an unattractive appearance to the coat. Moreover no real seal was formed by the two coat points folded over one another and therefore also no real, tightly sealing trousers.
All these disadvantages are avoided according to the invention by using one zipper for the making of each leg tube, one half of which is arranged on the inside of the front part of the coat, from its lower corner in a curve towards the inside, and the other half of which is disposed at least in part on the back part of the coats lower edge. Through the use of these zippers there are formed a real pair of trousers, the leg tubes of which are completely closed and not formed simply by the overlapping of coat points. The coat constructed according to the invention can be worn well even with closed leg tubes and the closing parts are visible neither in the open nor the closed state. The sliders of the zippers can moreover be secured by means of safety devices.
In the drawing are diagrammatically illus- Lil trated examples of execution of the subject of the invention, there being shown in Figure -1 a front view of a mode of execution of the coat in the open state, Figure 2 a front'view of the same in the closed state with closed leg tubes, Figure 3 a part of an inside view of a modified mode of execution and Figure 4 shows a detail on the zipper which is used.
In the mode of execution according to Figure l the part of the coat on the left in the drawing is turned to the outside, so that the inside can also be seen there. The coat, whose front edges are designated by I and the lower edges by 2, is very long, that is, it reaches down to the vicinity of the ankles and is provided with a center slit 3, known as such, in the back part, whose edges are designated by 4. Starting from the corner 5, at which lower and front edge meet, there is arranged on the inside of the coat the one part 6 of a zipper, namely it leads in a slight curve upwards to the inside, so that the upper end lies about 15 cm. inside the front edge. The second part 9 of the zipper is arranged at the horizontal lower edge and in this mode of execution ends at the corner 8 which is formed by the meeting of the lower edge with the edge of the center slit 3. The zipper is built in a manner known per se, so that it can be opened completely. As follows from Figure 4, a clip His fastened to the slider H), which has a snap at the part l4, while the other part I2 is fastened at the inside of the coat. This arrangement serves to hold the slide fast at the top while it is not used. On the lower side there is also arranged a snap in the vicinity of the front (lower) edge of the zipper at iii, in order to prevent an unintentional opening of the zipper when the leg tube is closed.
To form the leg tubes the back corner 8 is placed against the upper end I of the part 6 of the zipper, the slide is pulled down and if necessary fastened by means of the snap l3. The buttoned coat with the closed leg tubes then has approximately the appearance according to Figure 2. It does not pull either in sitting or walking, and in both cases the step is well covered by the overlapping front edges. The coat is good protection in this state against rain, snow and cold, as well as particularly against a soiling of the trousers, and especially in combination with boot leggings and similar foot gear represents a very suitable article of clothing for motorcycling and the like.
Figure 3 shows in inside view a part of a slightly modified mode of execution. Here the part 9 of the zipper attached to the lower edge 2 is led upwards in a curve for a distance against the edge 4 of the center slit. Through this is achieved a still better covering of the step, at the cost of the especially smooth line found in the first mode of execution. In this mode of execution it is also important that at least a part of the zipper is arranged at the horizontal lower edge of the coat.
