Benefits of technology

[0005] It is a major objective of the present invention to provide clothing which, while appearing conventional, is constructed so as to enable their donning with ease by the person being medicated or monitored by machine hookup. It is a more particular object of the invention to provide clothing which can be assembled on the torso of the wearer without need of a nurse to detach and reattach a medicating or monitoring device.

Problems solved by technology

Those who require device attachment to their arms or torso often find it difficult to don conventionally-designed garments due to the bulkiness of the attached device or a connection between the attached device and an external portion which restricts the insertion of the arms or torso through the designation portions of the garment.
Many patients do not get dressed due to their reluctance to ask for, or the reluctance of health-care workers to provide, such assistance.
The patient may then be relegated to wearing hospital gowns which may depress the spirit and slow recovery.

Embodiment Construction

[0014] Garment is donned by placing back panel against wearer's back and then placing the front panel or panels against the front of the wearer's torso, keeping bottom arm and side seams open. If only one side seam is releasably fastened, the opposing arm must be placed through the sleeve in a conventional manner. Once the body of the garment has been placed around wearer's torso, the releasably fastened seams are fastened under the wearer's arms and down the side of the torso. If there are two front panels, the front panels are then secured together around the wearer's body.

[0015] Thus, a nurse or aide is not needed to get the wearer dressed, a family member of the wearer themselves may apply the garment due to the fact that donning the garment by securing the sleeve portion around the arm and torso once the body is in position within the garment does not require detachment of any device affixed to the wearer's person.

[0016] The above described embodiments of this invention are m...

Abstract

Provided is a garment adapted for wear by persons incapable of donning conventional clothing due to a bulky device attached or connected to their person or by a continuous connection to an external device. The garment comprises front and back panels applicable to said person's torso and sleeve panels applicable to said person's arm. The panels have opposing side and sleeve margins with fastening means distributed thereon for securing the garment under said person's arms and down the side of said person's torso by interconnecting the panels along opposing releasably fastened edge margins in the worn position of the garment, without the necessity of placing said person's head or arms through the clothing holes in normal dressing movements.

Description

[0001] This application is filed as a continuation-in-part to U.S. application Ser. No. 10 / 858,360 filed Jun. 1, 2004.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION [0002] This invention is related to novel garment assembly especially useful for those requiring a device attachment to an upper appendage or the torso. More particularly, the garment is provided with seams running from the hem to the sleeve which can be assembled around the wearer's body without requiring the normal dressing movements of placing the arms through sleeves. [0003] Those who require device attachment to their arms or torso often find it difficult to don conventionally-designed garments due to the bulkiness of the attached device or a connection between the attached device and an external portion which restricts the insertion of the arms or torso through the designation portions of the garment. Donning traditional garments requires the detachment and reattachment of the medicating or monitoring equipment by a nurse or qualified ai...
