Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a garment which may be worn over ordinary clothing to attract the attention of a third person to the wearer of the garment .
  • a typical dangerous situation is when a car driver leaves his car in case of breakdown, changing a tire or looking for help for instance.
  • Another exemplary dangerous situa- tion is a cyclist or a pedestrian walking in cases of bad visibility.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a garment which is quick and easy to manufacture.
  • the present invention provides a garment for being worn over ordinary clothing to attract the attention of a third person to a wearer.
  • the garment comprises a back panel and a front panel extending straight down from the shoulders of the wearer, with an opening at the shoulders to accomodate the neck of the wearer.
  • the back and front panels are made in a single unit.
  • the back panel is configured to cover the width of the back and the left and right arms of the wearer.
  • the front panel is configured to cover the chest and the left and right arms of the wearer.
  • means are provided for connecting the back and front panels to each other at both sides of the wearer's waist such that, when the coat is being worn by a person, said back and front panels are held close to the wearer's body.
  • the garment of this invention is lightweight and allows full freedom of movement. Further, it can be quickly and easily donned in any situation. For instance, a car driver can easily slip the inventive garment on, while still sitting in the car. This insures that, on leaving his car the driver can be clearly noticed by the drivers of oncoming cars, thereby reducing considerably the chances of the wearer being hit.
  • the garment is advantageously made of a supple material, preferably of a fluorescent and/or reflective material, whereby the wearer is perfectly visible to a third person whatever the environment may be, e.g. on highways, dark or poorly enlightened places such as underground car parks, works, yards, warehouses, etc.
  • the garment panels are prevented to be raised by the wind or by an air blast.
  • the front and back panels are always held close to the wearer's body, thereby ensuring that the garment, and thus the wearer, is always perfectly visible in dangerous situations. Therefore, the invention provides the user the maximum protection against personal injuries and fatal accidents.
  • warning marks may be affixed to the front and/or back panels.
  • Such warning marks which may be for instance in the form of triangles made of fluorescent or reflective contrasting strips, improve the visible character of the garment and thus the protection of the wearer.
  • the strips are fitted with fluorescent or reflective braid. Also arrangements may be provided to make the front and back panels flame-retardant or bullet-proof.

  • the garment as described herein before may be provided with a hood or other protection means for the user' s head. It should be realized that the hood can be made detachable.
  • Fig. 1 is a plan view of a garment of the present invention with the panels separated in order for the garment to lie flat.
  • Fig. 2 is a front view of the garment of Fig. 1, displayed on a mannequin.
  • Fig. 3 is a rear view of the garment shown in Fig. 2.
  • Fig. 4 is a front view of another embodiment of the garment of the present invention.

  • the front panel 11 is advantageously made of one piece with the back panel 12 of similar configuration and size before which the front panel 11 is turned down from the shoulders.
  • the blank 10 has an opening 13 formed therein to accomodate the neck of a wearer.
  • the front panel 11 is configured to cover the chest as well as the left and right arms of a user.
  • the back panel 12 is configured to cover the width of the back as well as the left and right arms of the user.
  • Each of the front and back panels is configured so as to extend below the waist of a user.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 there are shown the breast and the back of a garment made from the blank 10 of Fig. 1 fashioned into a completed garment 20 according to the invention and displayed on a mannequin.
  • a stand-up collar 14 is provided.
  • a front opening 15 extends from the neck opening 13 and is fitted with fastener means 16 e.g.
  • the back and front panels are connected to each other by left and right lines of stitching 17 or welded joints or else at both sides of the wearer's waist.
  • left and right stitching 17 hold the front and back panels close to the wearer's body, thereby preventing the front and back panels to be raised by the wind or by air blast.
  • the aforementioned lines of stitching 17 or other connecting means do not need to extend high under the wearer's arms. They are only provided at waist level so as to leave ample space between the front and back panels for allowing easy passage of and free movement for the wearer's arms while ensuring that the garment completely covers the wearer's body.
  • the garment shown in Figs. 2 and 3 can be quickly and easily donned by a user.
  • the user only has to unfasten the front fastener means when so provided and to wrap the garment round the shoulders.
  • the garment thus provides comfortable protection while allowing full freedom of movement.
  • the garment includes a hood 18 for the protection or the user's head.
  • the hood can be made detachable.
  • the garment of the invention is preferably made of a supple material, for instance in a bright fluorescent yellow color.
  • the front and back panels are fitted with warning marks to improve the visible character of the garment and consequently the protection of the wearer.
  • Figs. 4 and 5 show a preferred embodiment of the protection garment of the invention comprising a front panel 11 and a back panel 12 with an opening 13 to accomodate the neck of a wearer.
  • Figs. 4 and 5 show a garment 25 similar to the one shown in Figs. 2 and 3, but without a hood for the head of the wearer, which hood may be provided as a separate item.
  • the front and back panels are provided with contrasting warning marks in the form of triangles made from reflective strips.
  • two triangles 21 and 22 are affixed to the front panel 11 and one larger triangle 23 for instance can be provided on the back panel 12. Such warning marks enhance the visibility of the garment from afar.
  • fluorescent or reflective contrasting strips can also be provided along the shoulders lines as illustrated at 24 and 26 in order to enhance the visibility of the garment sideways.
  • the strips and/or warning marks can be fitted with fluorescent or reflective contrasting braids thereby to further improve the visibility of the garment from afar.
  • the garment may be made of or covered with a waterproof and/or flame-retardant material. Yet, the garment may be made of a ballistic material or the front and/or back panels may be arranged to have bullet-proof protective properties.
