SHAW BUOYANT GARMENT Jan. 1, 1957 Filed Oct. 28, 1952 3 Sheets-Sheet 3 fsfpaw United States Patent Claims priority, application Great Britain June 27, 19 52 4 Claims. (Cl. 9-20) This invention relates to garments adapted to give the wearer buoyancy to enable him or her to float in water for an extended period.
According to the invention such garments incorporate material which is buoyant by virtue of air entrapped with in it and which may of itself be buoyant, enclosed in sheet material which is permeable to air but impermeable to water.
The invention is applicable to garments of various kinds, and especially to swimming or bathing suits, costumes and trunks, and to one-piece garments, e. g. siren suits or Waistcoats, suitable for wearing over other clothing and of a water-proof nature.
Suitable buoyant materials include kapok and foamed later; which have a natural buoyancy,and materials which, though not naturally buoyant, entrap sufficient air to give them adequate buoyancy, such as wool fibres preferably in the form of tops, cotton fibres, and nylon or other synthetic or artificial staple fibres.
Suitable woven textile materials which are permeable to air but impermeable to water are those which are available commercially and identified by the United States registered trademark Drivent, and the trademark Ventile which is registered in other countries. In such materials protection against water is achieved by a selfsealing action due to the swelling of the fibres when exposed to the effect of water. The materials are woven from fine cotton yarns of two-fold construction, using a close weave with a high degree of interlacing.
The buoyant material is preferably disposed in pockets located at suitable points of the garment, the buoyancy being provided mainly or wholly by the air entrapped in the pockets and the shape of the pockets being preserved by the fibrous or other filling. Such pockets are located mainly or entirely at the sides and front of the garment, to ensure that the wearer will float face upwards.
The buoyant material may be placed in envelopes of ordinary cotton fabric to provide packages and the packages have at least onelayer on each side thereof of a material which is permeable to air when dry and impermeable to air and Water when Wet, with such composite assembly located in pockets or enclosures formed in the garment. When the garment is dry, air may freely circulate throughout the package so that the wearer is entirely comfortable but as soon as the garment is Wetted, the packages become impermeable to air and water thus trapping the air in the packages to render the same highly buoyant and enable the wearer to float in the water over extended periods of time.
The materials may be secured where necessary by stitching or by means of adhesive. Stitching will generally be preferred as giving greater strength, but where the stitching would allow access of water to the buoyant material it is essential that the seams should be made waterproof. This may be effected by means of a waterproof varnish, e. g. a cellulose acetate or nitrate varnish or a rubber solution, or by means of a film of thermoplastic material or a fabric coated with thermoplastic 2,775,776 Fatented Jan. 1, 1957 material placed over the seam and caused means of a hot iron.
Where it is desired that the garment as a whole should be waterproof as well as buoyant, material which is permeable to air when dry and impermeable to air and water when wet will be used for the structure of the garment and all seams will be effected by means of an adhesive or by stitching and sealing. This applies particularly in the case of garments for wear over other clothing for life-saving purposes, where it is essential for the sake of warmth as well as buoyancy to keep said other clothing dry.
In the case of swimming costumes the buoyant ma-- terial may be placed at the front and sides only, preferably in the form of kapok or wool tops enclosed in cotton envelopes and located in pockets formed between two layers of Ventile type fabric. The back of the costume may if desired be of ordinary fabric and may be elasticated. The outer Ventile fabric layer may be of an ornamental nature or may be covered with an ornamental fabric.
It is found that approximately six ounces of wool fibres incorporated in a swimming costume or trunks is sufficient to keep a normal wearer afloat, and does not make any substantial difference to the appearance of the gar o adhere by ment.
Referring to the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a front view of a pair of bathing trunks according to the invention.
Figure 2 shows the trunks from the front but turned inside out.
Figure 3 shows the same, partly broken away.
Figure 4 shows the buoyant structure, partly broken open.
Figure 5 shows a ladys swimming costume according to the invention.
Figure 6 shows a waistcoat according to the invention.
Figure 7 shows the waistcoat inside out, with a buoyant structure exposed.
Referring to Figures 1-4, a pair of bathing trunks 1, made of any suitable material such as a wool-nylon knitted fabric, is fitted at the front and on the inside with a buoyant pad 2. The pad 2 is secured at its edges by stitches 3 to a piece of cotton cloth 4, the edges of which are stitched at 5 to the front of the garment. The pad 2 contains a filling of kapok 6 enclosed in a cotton fabric envelope 7, the envelope 7 being enclosed within a two-layer covering 8 of water-impermeable fabric of the Ventile type. The two layers of cotton fabric 7 and the four layers of fabric 8 are stitched together along their edges at 9, and are further secured and sealed by means of waterproof adhesive tape in, shown in chain dot in Figure 4, which is folded over the edges and covers the stitching.- An extra strip 11 of adhesive tape is placed over the strip it? and folded a short distance the edge of the strip 1% and stuck to itself, to provide a narrow strip through which the stitches 3 can pass without interfering with the sealing of the buoyant structure.
Figure 5 shows a ladys swimming costume, in which a buoyant structure 2 similar to that shown in Figures 1-4 is secured between the outer layer 12 of the front of the costume and the lining 13, and further pads 14 constructed in the same way as the pads 2, are inserted between the outer layer 12 and the lining 13 in the upper part of the front of the costume. The outer layer 12 may be of any suitable fabric, which may be of an ornamental nature. Stiifeners 15 are shown, but these may be omitted if not required.
Figures 6 and 7 show a life-saving garment in the form of a waistcoat. This is constructed of and lined with a fabric of the Ventile type and has buttons 16 and. pockets .closedby sliding clasp fasteners 17 on the outside. On the inside there are further pockets 18 closed by fasteners 19, in which are placed pads 20 constructedrlikethe pads 2 in Figures 1 but shaped to fit the pockets. Figure 7 shows the garment inside out with onepad 20 partly withdrawn from its pocket. There are lines of stitching 21 across the fibre filling and the cotton fabric layers enclosing it, but not passing through the waterproof layers enclosing the cotton fabric, to keep the fibrous material in position.
