Garment intended for protecting a human or animal body against cold, particularly on board a survival craft

The invention aims to provide a garment which protects from the cold without hindering movement and which has a weight and a volume which are such that it can form part of the normal survival equipment on board a pleasure craft or the like, where space is restricted. To this end, the garment is cut from a flexible metallised plastic sheet with a weight not exceeding 100 grams per square metre. The garment of the invention may also be used, particularly, for keeping a patient warm during a surgical operation.

Lined padded fabric and manufacturing process

Method of giving cloth multiple piece appearance - uses folded pleats sewn down on both sides of cloth

The manufacture starts with a flat piece of material (1) and the first series of pleats (2a) are formed. These are in the same general direction but need not be parallel. Each of these pleats is formed on the wrong side of the material and is fixed in place by a line of sewing. The material is then turned over and a second line of stitching is done on the right side in the same place as the first line. A second series of pleats are then formed in a different direction to that of the first series, for example roughly perpendicular to them.

Quick-change garment of framework covered with stick-on panels - which can be pulled off and another set substituted

Anti-skid foamed (PVC) studs bonded on to extensible fabrics - as individual studs which allow the intervening fabric to stretch

The use of foamed thermoplastic sheet featuring a pattern of non-skid profiles of studs, hot-bonded to a supporting body or fabric, where the sheet is continuous and/or fixed to a support of stable dimensions, as in the Parent Patent, is improved by bonding a pattern of individual studs of thermoplastic foam, pref. PVC, to places on the surface of a fabric which is extensible in one or more directions. The foam studs are not covered, but exposed for direct contact with the floor, etc. Used for items made of knitted, double-knitted or looped-stitch woven fabric, e.g. one-piece baby pyjamas or crawling suits with integral stockings, studs being provided on the outside of sole, knee, elbow regions etc. The individual surface studs leave the fabric free to extend, e.g. to provide a stretch fit for the child's foot.
