Benefits of technology

[0010]The present invention is a wader with a quick-release system for evacuation of water from the wader comprising: a wader having two pant legs, two foot coverings and a crotch area, with a seam between each pant leg and foot covering; a waterproof fastener having an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the waterproof fastener extends circumferentially around each pant leg at the seam between the pant leg and the foot covering; and a component that is attached to a jerk line and to the ...

Problems solved by technology

A frequent safety issue with chest-high waders is that if water enters the top of the wader, it is virtually impossible to get the water out of the wader without removing the entire wader.
If someone is standing in high water and slips, thereby causing water to enter the wader from the top of the wader, there is no quick way to get the water out of the wader, and the person wearing the wader is not in a position to take the entire wader off.
The danger in this situation is that the person will be swept under water and drown.

Embodiment Construction

[0037]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention being worn on a person and shown with the protective cuff over the waterproof fastener. As shown in this figure, the present invention is a wader 1 comprising a jerk line 2 that extends vertically from the area just above the wearer's ankle on the outside of one leg of the wader 1 up the outer edge of the same leg to the hip area, up and across to the front of the crotch area, down and across to the outer hip area of the other leg, and vertically down the outer edge of the other leg from the hip area to the area just above the wearer's ankle on the outside of the other leg of the wader 1. Thus, the jerk line forms a single, continuous loop. The jerk line 2 itself is preferably a monofilament, polypropylene line, stainless steel cord, braided composition cable or any other material or composition in the form of a line, cord or cable that is both non-elastic and flexible.

[0038]The jerk line 2 is preferably contained within a ...

Abstract

A wader with a quick-release system for evacuation of water from the wader comprising: a wader having two pant legs, two foot coverings and a crotch area; a waterproof fastener that extends circumferentially around each pant leg at the seam between the pant leg and the foot covering; and a component that is attached to a jerk line and to the upper portion of the waterproof fastener. The jerk line extends from the upper portion of the waterproof fastener vertically up one pant leg to the crotch area of the wader and vertically down the other pant leg. When a person pulls on the jerk line at the crotch area of the wader, the jerk line causes the upper portion of the waterproof fastener to disengage from the lower portion of the waterproof fastener, thereby allowing any water contained within the wader to exit from the wader.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to the field of waders, and more specifically, to a wader with a quick-release system for evacuation of water from the wader.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]A frequent safety issue with chest-high waders is that if water enters the top of the wader, it is virtually impossible to get the water out of the wader without removing the entire wader. If someone is standing in high water and slips, thereby causing water to enter the wader from the top of the wader, there is no quick way to get the water out of the wader, and the person wearing the wader is not in a position to take the entire wader off. The danger in this situation is that the person will be swept under water and drown.[0005]The present invention is designed to prevent accidental death by drowning in situations of the type described above. The invention described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,044,478 (Girard, 1977) atte...
