rrtorncrrvn GARMENT.
Application filed April 4,
To all 107mm it may concern:
Be it known that I, WALTER L. FRY, a citizen of the Jnited States of America, and a resident of New Rochelle, county of Westchester, State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Protective Garments, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to protective garments, particularly those which are made of water-proof material, the object thereof being to provide protective garments which shall be simple and economical to manufacture, and which shall provide complete protection for the feet and other body portions of the wearer, while at the same time: being comfortable in use and easy to put on and take off. I
By way of example, I have shown a preferred embodiment of my invention inthe accompanying drawings, wherein-' Figure 1 is a perspective view of the garment onthe wearer; r
Figure-2 is a similar view,partly in longitudinal section; V
Figures 3, 4 and 5 are detail views of various portions of the foregoing embodiment. I y
The said embodiment comprises a waist portion 1, a plurality of bifurcated legportions 2 united to said waist portion, and a plurality of shoe portions 3 united to the corresponding leg portions. All of the garment, except the shoe portions, is preferably made of a comparatively light, flexible,
water-proof material, such as rubberized cloth. V
The shoe portions are made of 'a comparatively heavy, water-proof material. Preferably each shoe extends only up to the ankle of the wearer and the cross-sectional area adjacent the junction of each leg portion and the corresponding shoe portion is of such size as to freely admit theshoe of thewe'arer. r r
The application of the garment is further facilitated by reason of the flexible character of the material of which the leg portions to the shoes are preferably made.' This arrangement rendersvthe portions of the garment around the ankles and above the shoe portions'pliable and readily -manipu lable. The various seams of the garment, as between the leg. portions and the shoe portions, and at the junction of the leg por 1919. seria uo. 287,398.
.tions, are made waterrtight, so that the garment is thoroughly water-proof and will keep the covered portions of the wearer clean, warm and dry. r
In order that the garment shall be serviceable and'shall present a neat body-fitting appearance and be more comfortable when .worn,I provide a plurality of floating ankle straps passing under the eyelet straps 5 adjacent the ankle and'above but adjacent the corresponding shoe portions 3. *The ankle straps serve to gather in the leg portions adjacent the ankles 0f the wearer.
By means of this arrangement also the weight 'of'the' garmen'tis more equally dis- 'tributed over the body of the wearer and the shoes are more properly positioned and more comfortably carried and worn, even if apparently comparatively large.
I also provide a plurality of knee straps 5, which are associated with the leg. portions of the garment below and adjacent the knees of the wearer. The knee straps are preferably similar in construction and arrangement to the ankle straps and serve to gather in the leg portions adjacent the knees of the wearer; This arrangement serves also to prevent binding at the kneeof the garment when bending, thereby rendering the garment'more convenient, usefuland comfortable.
I prefer to provide the garment, as within the interior and along the sides of thesame',
with a plurality of ventilating strips 6. The ventilating strips arepreferably made of Ueshaped strips of materiaL-the arms of the U being cemented or otherwise attached to the garment along the inside of the same acent the sides, while the bend of'the, U r
is preferably perforated, as shown at 7, to
provide means for airing or ventilatingthe garment while'in use. The 'lnovementsof the wearer of the garment successively com 1 press and expand the ventilating strips,
which by sortrof a pumpingfacti0n'vent1- i l i e If desired, shoulder straps 8, suitably atlate theinterior of the garment.
tached to the waist portion may beemployed to position the garmenton the wearenj The manner of using and applying the illustrative embodiment of my invention set forth above will be clear from the foregoing description.
It is of course,
to. be understood that my invention is not limited to the specifio'embodiment thereof here shown and described for purposes of illustration only.
What I claim is:
A unitary protective garment comprising a waist portion, leg portions oat light, flexible water-proof material united to said waist portion, shoe portions of heavy Water-proof material. united to said leg portions below the ankle of a wearer, ventilating means secured within said garment and extending to said shoe portions, an ankle, strap associated with each of said leg portions adjacent but above the ankle of a wearer for gathering in the leg portions adjacent the ankles of. the wearer and a knee strap associated with each of said leg portions adjacent but below the knee of a wearer for gathering in the leg portions adjacent the knees. V V
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification this 3rd day of April, 1919.
WVALTER L. FRY.
