Diving dry suit

Abstract

Diving dry suit including a watertight first part forming, in one piece from top to bottom, a chest portion, trousers, and socks, and a separate second part forming a watertight jacket comprising an interior layer being in watertight material and comprising a chest portion and long sleeves, the interior layer being also provided with cuffs at the neck and at the end of the sleeves, an exterior layer of the jacket also comprising a chest portion and long sleeves, the interior layer and the exterior layer being separate entities separably fastened together at the level of at least one valve, the suit being free of any zip opening / closing system, and in that the central portion of the first part and the lower portion of the interior layer of the jacket each comprise an elastic material skirt to produce a watertight connection between the jacket and the first part.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention concerns a diving dry suit.BACKGROUND[0002]The invention more particularly concerns a diving dry suit including a watertight first part forming, in one watertight piece from top to bottom, a chest portion, trousers and socks, and a separate second part forming a watertight jacket.[0003]A diving dry suit is a watertight suit that insulates the parts of the body of the user covered by the suit from the water. A dry suit is thus a watertight suit as opposed to non-watertight and non-dry diving suits and outfits that wet the skin of the wearer.[0004]Diving dry suits generally comprise at least one valve allowing exchange of gas between the exterior of the suit and the area situated between the body of the user and the watertight part of the suit.[0005]To guarantee watertightness, dry suits must be tightly fitted to the body of the user at the wrists and the neck. Because of their configuration, known dry suits generally include watertigh...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a suit that can be easily put on and taken off by the user while keeping them watertight. The suit has a structure consisting of two separate layers that are fastened together, which allows for separate functions of watertightness and mechanical wear protection. The interior and exterior layers are assembled at the level of valves or valves in the suit, providing adequate retention on the user's body. The assembly of the layers can be selectively removable to allow replacement of only one of the layers. This configuration allows for separate parts without requiring watertight zip fasteners.

Problems solved by technology

These watertight zip fasteners, apart from being very costly, render the suit very uncomfortable because of their stiffness.

These fasteners are also difficult for the user to open and to close and the user must seek help to put on or take off these suits.

Moreover, in the event of rupture while diving, these zip fasteners are liable to put the user in hazard.

This suit is not suitable for watertight diving, however, notably because the watertightness of the joint between the trousers and the jacket is not very satisfactory and also because exchange of gas between the watertight part and the exterior of the suit (pressure regulation) is impossible.
