Benefits of technology

This patent describes a special type of protection cover that can be added to clothes used by healthcare workers, people who work at restaurants or institutions where there are often fluids or food spills. The cover is made from a material called Teflon™ which helps prevent liquid from entering the fabric. It's easy to clean, safe and doesn't catch fire.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent is the need for a permanent and embedded protective covering for children's garments that doesn't leave behind multiple layers that may restrict their movement or increase their thickness. Existing solutions involve adding a separate protection piece to the garment, but this often limits its flexibility. The new invention offers a simpler way to create a single-layer coverage that preserves the flexibility of the original garment while providing protection against low surface tension liquids.

Abstract

The present invention involves a method for manufacturing an article of clothing with a permanently embedded protective covering over at least one predetermined portion of the clothing that can be worn by infants, children and adults. The protective covering is made from a thermoplastic material that is applied to and thermally bonds or co-mingles with the outermost fabric fibers of the clothing article creating a permanently embedded liquid impermeable, non-porous protective covering that retains the same flexibility as the underlying fabric of the clothing article. The protective covering can be positioned across the top front portion of the clothing article and extend downward to a lower portion of the front of the clothing article creating an easy to clean particle and dirt resistant covering for the clothing article.
