AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is an improved coverall that can be secured around a wearer's waist without becoming a safety hazard. It includes an adjustable belt that can be fastened around the wearer's waist and closed over with a zipper or other fastening means. This coverall design reduces the risk of catching on safety hazards and ensures the wearer's safety.

Problems solved by technology

In these types of environments, where machinery is roving and projecting conditions ripe for snagging belts or loose material, it is necessary that these coveralls be made of material that will continue to protect the wearer from hazards while not projecting a surface or loose piece of clothing that could become entangled in the machinery and potentially cause harm.
For example, a belt buckle made of any material has the potential to become entangled on a pump which could result in serious personal injury to the wearer.
An elastic band fixed inside the waist of a coverall will wear out over time requiring replacement of the entire coverall, thus incurring additional costs.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows an internal belt 14 for use with an internally belted coverall garment 10 of applicant's invention. Specifically, the belt 14 is comprised of a strap 20 and a buckle 12. Strap 20 is best envisioned as a flat webbing strap composed of flat nylon, heavyweight polypropylene, lightweight polypropylene, polyester, cotton, or the like. Buckle 12 is best envisioned to be a side releasing buckle having a female end portion 32 configured to be releaseably coupled or connected with a corresponding buckle male end portion 34. The buckle female end portion 32 is attached to one end to the strap 20. The buckle male end portion 34 has a slotted belt feed attachment 38 for adjustably coupling the buckle male end portion 34 with the end of the strap 20 opposite the buckle female end portion 32. While Buckle 12 is shown as a side releasing buckle the buckle 12 may be any suitable buckle mechanism such as a traditional frame-and-prong or clasp belt bu...

Abstract

A unitary coverall garment with integral jacket and trouser section incorporates a separate belt held by interior belt loops or a belt tube within the garment. The belt has a fastening buckle and adjustable strap that is fed through the interior belt loops or a tube. A closing means is provided to close the garment to cover the interior belt. Adjusting the belt to pull the garment inward toward the wearer and closing the garment to cover the belt will minimize the risks associated with snagging the belt or garment on moving equipment. The coverall garment is worn by opening the jacket section, stepping into the trouser section, positioning the jacket section on the wearer's upper body, fastening the internal belt around the wearer's waist, tightening the adjustment strap, and closing the jacket section opening over the belt.
