- pants 10 are shown having a left zipper 12 and a right zipper 14.
- the design includes ornamental button 16, which does not serve as a closure assembly in one embodiment.
- Belt loops 18 are included along the waist of the pants. In one embodiment, the belt loops are double looped to accommodate two thicknesses of belts.
- An ornamental front zipper 20 can be included on the pants. Referring to Figure 2, the right zipper is shown in a down position with the right portion 22 of a front panel of the pants folded down. This allows for access to the wearer without the wearer having to stand. The left zipper is also shown in the down position.
- the left and right zippers are installed in reverse so that the teeth are positioned away from the wearer's body to improve comfort and reduce the risks of pressure sores.
- the left and right zippers are in the down position.
- the right portion is folded down as well as the left portion 24 so that access to the wearer is provided without having to remove the pants. This is advantageous when the wearer is wheelchair-bound or otherwise has limited mobility.
- the pants include a waist band disposed in a slot.
- the waist band is preferably an elastic band disposed in the slot so that the waist band has elasticity and will conform to the wear's waist.
- the waist band includes expansion strap 26 contained within the waist in a slot 28.
- the expansion strap can include a tab 32 that has a button hole 34.
- the expansion strap can include elastic portion 30.
- a button 36 can be received in the tab to secure the expansion strap in a predetermined position.
- the expansion strap can be extended from the slot and secured to the button by using a secondary button 35 hole that is located in the elastic portion. This creates tension causing the waist 38 to contract improving the fit of the wearer.
- a second button can be included securing the tab to the waist to eliminate the tab from loosely extending out of the slot.
- the pants can be worn by the wearer and when the zippers are in the down position, the front portions of the pants can be folded down. This allows access to the wearer to provide access to area of the wearer needed by a health care professional, and the like. Access is provided without having to remove the pants from the wearer or cause the wearer to move from a sitting to a standing position.
- FIG 7 the front of a shirt 40 is shown having a right zipper 42 and a left zipper 44.
- a front portion 46 is included in the shirt and connected by the left and right zippers.
- the zippers are disposed to generally travel from the neck area of the shirt to the underarm area of the shirt in an angled path that moves away from the center line of the shirt.
- the front portion is shown with the right zipper in the down position and the front portion folded downwards. This configuration provides sufficient access to the wearer so that the shirt can be donned without the need of the arm to be raised. This is advantageous for limited mobility shoulder situation such as injuries or recover (e.g. rotator cuff surgery).
- the positioning of the zipper and the angle of the zipper allows the zippers to be operated without having to raise the arm above shoulder level.
- the front portion is shown in a folded down position which both provides for easier donning by a limited mobility individual as well as access to the wearer by a health care provider without having to remove the shirt.
- a shirt 50 is shown having a collar 52, an upper right portion 54, and an upper left portion 56. The upper right portion and the upper left portion are separated by a space 58.
- a right zipper 60 and a left zipper 62 are included and are connected between the upper right portion, upper left portion, and lower portion 64 respectively.
- the right upper portion When the right zipper is unzipped, the right upper portion can be folded upwards and to the right to allow the wearer to don the shirt without having to raise the arm. Additionally, the wearer can be examined by a healthcare professional without having to remove the shirt. Referring to Figures 1 1 - 12, the lower portion can pulled down when the zipper is unzipped allowing access to the chest area of the wear. This is advantageous to healthcare providers and wearers for physical exams that range from chest injuries, surgeries, mammography, and the like.
- the shirt can include a lower right zipper 66 and lower left zipper 68, that when unzipped, allow the lower portion to be folded upwards providing access to the lower chest and torso of the wearer.
- the pants-shirt combination provides access to a majority of the wearer frontal area without requiring the wearer to disrobe or to be moved from a chair, wheel chair, or bed.
- a shirt is shown that can include a pocket on the right side so that the wearer would not be tempted to place an item such as a cell phone that would result in the device being in close proximately to medical items such as a pacemaker. Furthermore, the left portion 72 and the right portion 74 can be secured close through magnetic closures with a ferrous material 76 on one side that can engage with a magnet 78 on the other side to secure the shirt closed while also providing a convenient method to open the shirt front. [0039] Referring to Figure 14, the back of a shirt is shown. The shirt can be made from a resilient fabric that can expand in direction 80, direction 82, or a combination.
- the ability of the shirt to expand and contract in these directions reduces the risk of the shirt developing a fold.
- the risk of fold By reducing the risk of fold, the risk of pressure sores for bed ridden or wheelchair bound wearers is reduced.
- the seams conventionally present on the back of a shirt are removed in this embodiment to further reduce the risk of pressure sores.
- a shirt 84 is shown having a right flap 86 and a left flap 88.
- the right flap can be connected to a left area 90 so that when it is closed, it overlaps the left flap.
- a zipper 92 can connect the left flap with the interior surface of the right flap allowing a lower portion 94 of the shirt to be folded up and away to provide access to the chest area of the wearer. Therefore, a shirt that allows access with overlapping portions can be used to provide access to the wearer without the wearer having to stand from a seated position or rise up from a bed.
- the fabric can be impregnated with anti-bacterial material in the form of a fabric treatment such as a sulfonamides and other materials.
