Definitions
- most of the areas of the firefighter's garments in which increased flexibility is provided are areas that are constantly flexed during firefighting. For example, firefighters crouch to escape heat. This causes material bunching and increased insulation. Thus, even if a lesser degree of single layer thermal protection is provided in these areas in which bunching occurs, the firefighter has adequate thermal protection, while also having greater flexibility in the areas in which flexing occurs.
- FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a firefighter's coat of this invention, illustrating regions or areas of the coat in which enhanced flexibility is provided.
- FIG. 2 is a fragmentary exploded perspective view, drawn on a slightly larger scale than FIG. 1, showing a portion of the outer shell of a sleeve of the coat of FIG. 1 and showing a portion of the inner liner and showing portions of the inner liner which have enhanced flexibility.
- FIG. 4 is a fragmentary elevational view, with parts broken away, showing the sleeve and a part of the underarm portion of the firefighter's coat of this invention which is provided with enhanced flexibility.
- FIG. 6 is a front elevational view of firefighter's trousers constructed in accordance with this invention, illustrating portions of the trousers in which enhanced flexibility is provided.
