Waterproof garment

Abstract

A waterproof garment includes ventilation folds. The horizontal ventilation folds (1) are located throughout the garment and consist of two layers of mesh (5, 6), partially impregnated with rubber in horizontal stripes (2).

Description

[0001] WATERPROOF GARMENT

[0002] The utility model relates to various types of outerwear designed to ensure comfort in conditions of high humidity or rain by providing waterproof protection. This type of clothing is convenient for sports, professional activities, outdoor recreation, and daily use. In today's world, where weather conditions can be unpredictable, it is essential to have reliable protection against moisture. Waterproof clothing becomes an integral part of the wardrobe for those who work or relax in high-humidity environments.

[0003] Known designs of protective clothing include, for example, the Ukrainian utility model patent "Universal Clothing" No. 115343 (IPC A41D 3 / 00, 10.04.2017). This utility model relates to outerwear designed to protect the body from cold and water. The essence lies in the presence of airtight inflatable elements placed between the outer layer and the lining of the garment, which can be filled with air or emptied at will. Despite the name, the utility model is not suitable for daily use.

[0004] Another known model is the "Waterproof Vapor-Permeable Multilayer Product" - Ukrainian utility model patent No. 93026 (IPC A43B 7 / 00, 10.01.2011). These products are essentially membranes based on polytetrafluoroethylene bonded to fabric, allowing vapor permeability while maintaining waterproofhess. A drawback of this model is that it does not disclose the specific clothing construction using the membrane.

[0005] The closest analogue in terms of technical essence is the waterproof clothing design by the well-known company OZON (website: https: / / www.ozon.com.ua / ua / spec / vodonepronitsaemaya-odezhda / kostyum-pvkh- vodonepronitsaemyy-_2470 / ). The jacket features ventilation folds under the armpits and vents beneath a yoke on the back. However, such a ventilation system only offers localized airflow, which fails to provide adequate comfort in rainy weather. The aim of the utility model is to improve the design and introduce new structural elements that expand the functional capabilities of the garment and provide a higher level of comfort during rainy weather.

[0006] This objective is achieved by the fact that the waterproof garment includes ventilation folds distributed across the entire surface of the clothing. These folds consist of two layers of mesh, partially impregnated with rubber in horizontal stripes.

[0007] According to an embodiment, each stripe between the two mesh layers contains a plastic spiral or coarse-fiber synthetic padding (e.g., synthetic batting).

[0008] The garment can be designed as a jacket, trousers, suit, or coverall.

[0009] The essence of the utility model is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which depict the most commonly used waterproof garment - a jacket: Fig. 1 - General view of the jacket; Fig. 2 - Stripe elements, view A from Fig. 1; Fig. 3 - Stripe elements, section B-B from Fig. 2.

[0010] Ventilation folds (1) with horizontal stripes (2) are distributed across the jacket. These stripes are formed from two sides - outer (3) and inner (4) - composed of mesh layers (e.g., mosquito netting). Mesh layer (5), unlike mesh layer (6), is rubber-impregnated (alternatively, polyester or latex may be used).

[0011] As an option, a plastic spiral (7) or coarse-fiber synthetic padding is placed between mesh layers 5 and 6.

[0012] Materials used in the production of the garment comply with national standards (e.g., durable natural or synthetic fabrics with appropriate protective treatments, suitable accessories, etc.).

[0013] The rubber-to-mesh ratio is 2:1 in a vertical dimension of 5 cm. These two layers are sewn together every 5 cm so that at the stitching points The upper two- thirds of the outer mesh segment are horizontally rubber-impregnated, The lower third is plain mesh, while The inner layer has the top third as mesh and the bottom two-thirds impregnated with rubber.

[0014] The working principle of the utility model is based on the layered structure, which provides a waterproof and breathable membrane effect. The inner layer of soft fabric ensures comfort against the body. The mesh pores are small enough to block moisture droplets but large enough to allow air flow. This prevents soaking while maintaining excellent ventilation, thus avoiding overheating and perspiration.

[0015] Water-repellent coatings form a barrier on the fabric surface, repelling water and preventing it from penetrating the garment.

[0016] The term "waterproof garment" means not only that no rain penetrates to the body, but also that the wearer is protected from their own moisture, i.e., sweat, since the suit offers 100% ventilation. The material is designed with ventilation folds (like louvers), causing rain to flow downward due to gravity, while fresh air reaches the wearer’s body - ensuring complete comfort. The body remains fresh and dry.

[0017] Thus, implementation of the utility model provides complete rain protection, all-weather usability, 100% ventilation, lightness, and total safety.

[0018] The design may vary in style and appearance. Made from eco-friendly materials, the product can range from budget-friendly to high-end, depending on the materials used. It can be manufactured using synthetic or natural fabrics (polyester, nylon, cotton) or combinations. Insulation may include hollow fiber or fleece.
