Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] The dry suit of Patent Document 1 has a problem that it is difficult to excrete feces because the crotch area cannot be largely exposed.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0005] A diving suit according to one embodiment disclosed in this specification includes an upper body part that protects the upper body of the wearer, a lower body part that is integral with the upper body part and protects the lower body of the wearer, and a fastener that extends from the outside of the right thigh part in the lower body part through the waist to the outside of the left thigh part. According to this form of diving suit, the wearer can largely expose the crotch area of the wearer from the opening by opening the fastener that extends from the outside of the right thigh part through the upper side of the waist to the outside of the left thigh part. Therefore, the wearer can smoothly excrete urine and feces while wearing the diving suit.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention
[0007] FIG. 1 is a front view showing a diving suit 100. FIG. 2 is a rear view showing the diving suit 100. The diving suit 100 is a protective suit used to protect the body from heat loss, trauma, harmful organisms, etc. in water sports such as scuba diving, surfing, and water motorcycles, as well as underwater and water activities such as underwater civil engineering, shipwreck rescue, and work on marine structures. The diving suit 100 is a wet suit in which water can penetrate inside. The diving suit 100 may also be a dry suit in which water does not penetrate inside.
[0008] The diving suit 100 includes an upper body part 120 and a lower body part 150. The upper body part 120 and the lower body part 150 are configured using a material having elasticity and stretchability so as to closely adhere to the wearer's body. The upper body part 120 is a part that protects the upper body of the wearer. The lower body part 150 is a part that protects the lower body of the wearer. The lower body part 150 is integrated with the upper body part 120.
[0009] The upper body part 120 of the diving suit 100 has a chest part 121, an abdominal part 122, a right arm part 123, a left arm part 124, a back middle part 127, and a neck part 129. The chest part 121 is a part that protects the chest of the wearer. The abdominal part 122 is a part that protects the abdomen of the wearer. The right arm part 123 is a part that protects the right arm of the wearer. The left arm part 124 is a part that protects the left arm of the wearer. The back middle part 127 is a part that protects the back of the wearer. The neck part 129 is a part that protects the neck of the wearer.
[0010] The lower body part 150 of the diving suit 100 has a lower abdomen 151, a crotch part 152, a right leg part 153, a left leg part 155, and a waist part 157. The lower abdomen 151 is a part that protects the lower abdomen of the wearer. The crotch part 152 is a part that protects the crotch of the wearer. The right leg part 153 is a part that protects the right leg of the wearer. The right leg part 153 has a right thigh part 154 that protects the right thigh of the wearer. The left leg part 155 is a part that protects the left leg of the wearer. The left leg part 155 has a left thigh part 156 that protects the left thigh of the wearer. The waist part 157 is a part that protects the waist of the wearer.
[0011] The diving suit 100 is provided with a fastener 160 used when the wearer puts on and takes off the diving suit 100. The fastener 160 is a linear fastener that extends from the right arm part 123, passes through the chest part 121, and reaches the left arm part 124. The fastener 160 passes through a locus that horizontally crosses the chest part 121. The fastener 160 is configured to be able to open and close the chest part 121 vertically. The fastener 160 is a submersion type linear fastener that allows water to enter inside. The fastener 160 may be a waterproof type linear fastener that prevents water from entering inside. The diving suit 100 may be provided with a linear fastener that opens and closes the back part 127 vertically as a fastener used when the wearer puts on and takes off the diving suit 100 instead of the fastener 160.
[0012] The diving suit 100 is provided with a fastener 170 used when the wearer defecates while wearing the diving suit 100. The fastener 170 is a linear fastener that extends from the outside of the right thigh part 154, passes through the waist part 157, and reaches the outside of the left thigh part 156. The fastener 170 passes through a locus along the outside of the right thigh part 154. The fastener 170 passes through a locus that horizontally crosses the waist part 157. The fastener 170 passes through a locus along the outside of the left thigh part 156. The fastener 170 is configured to be able to hang down the waist part 157 downward. The fastener 170 is a submersion type linear fastener that allows water to enter inside. The fastener 170 may be a waterproof type linear fastener that prevents water from entering inside.
[0013] According to the diving suit 100 described above, the wearer can greatly expose the periphery of the crotch of the wearer from the opening by opening the fastener 170 that extends from the outside of the right thigh 154 to the upper side of the waist 157 and then to the outside of the left thigh 156. Therefore, the wearer can smoothly excrete urine and feces while wearing the diving suit 100.
[0014] The technology disclosed in this specification is not limited to the above-described embodiments, examples, and modifications, and can be realized in various configurations without departing from the spirit thereof. For example, among the technical features in the above-described embodiments, examples, and modifications, those corresponding to the technical features in each form described in the column of the outline of the invention can be appropriately replaced and combined in order to solve some or all of the above-described problems, or to achieve some or all of the above-described effects. In addition, technical features that are not described as essential in this specification can be appropriately deleted.
