Abstract
The floatation garment, in particular a lifejacket or an immersion suit, comprises at least one elastic layer (1) shaped to fit at least around the torso of a wearer and to stretch to an extent between a minimum and a maximum depending on the size of the wearer. To provide thermal insulation, it moreover comprises a plurality of thermally insulating panels (23-28), in particular foam panels, which are attached with respect to the elastic layer (1) and/or with respect to one another such that they slidably overlap one another. In this way, the garment fits to persons of different size and keeps its thermal insulation notwithstanding the fact that the thermally insulating foam panels are not or not sufficiently elastic.
Claims
1. A floatation garment, characterised in that it comprises at least one elastic layer shaped to fit at least around the torso of a wearer and to stretch to an extent between a minimum and a maximum depending on the size of the wearer, and a plurality of thermally insulating panels which are locally attached with respect to the elastic layer and/or with respect to one another such that they slidably overlap one another.
2. A floatation garment according to claim 1 , characterised in that the thermally insulating panels are arranged on an inner side of the elastic layer.
3. A floatation garment according to claim 1 or 2, characterised in that the thermally insulating panels are arranged between an elastic inner lining material and the elastic layer.
4. A floatation garment according to claim 3, characterised in that at least one of said panels is fixed to the elastic inner lining material, in particular by stitching.
5. A floatation garment according to claim 3 or 4, characterised in that the elastic inner lining material is joined along its edges to the elastic layer, in particular by stitching.
6. A flotation garment according to any one of the claims 1 to 5, characterised in that at least a number of the thermally insulating panels are attached to one another by means of elastic straps.
7. A flotation garment according to any one of the claims 1 to 6, characterised in that at least a number of the thermally insulating panels are attached to the elastic layer by means of further elastic straps.
8. A flotation garment according to any one of the claims 1 to 7, characterised in that the thermally insulating panels overlap one
