Benefits of technology

This invention is about a special garment that can protect people from getting serious injury when they are hit by something hard. The garment has layers of material with air chambers that can inflate and release air when there is a strong impact. This helps to cushion the shock and reduce the amount of damage that can be done to the person wearing the garment. The garment is comfortable and can be worn while doing everyday activities, whether or not another person is helping.

Problems solved by technology

Protective clothing and gear are well known; most common types are designed for use with moving vehicles, sport activities, and industrial safety, while these serve the intended purpose, they are not practical for use with activities daily living.
Many Injuries occur while performing daily living tasks, persons having weak bone density have a higher risk of serious injury from accidents that occur while performing these tasks.

Embodiment Construction

[0012]The protective garment shown in FIG. 1 and designated generally by 10 is disclosed herein as a robe, the garment could be an overcoat, smock, gown, or other types of clothing that covers the region of the body to be protected. The robe shown in FIG. 1-10 has protective material FIG. 1-11 in the neck area, to offer some protection from injury to the back of the head and to provide additional support of the area. The robe FIG. 1-10 uses a polymer material structured with a plurality of air filled chambers, not unlike packing material used in shipping. The protective garment reduces the mechanical energy transferred to the person wearing the garment. The impact force is transferred to the air chamber as the force increases the chamber will rupture. The remaining force is then transferred to the next layer of air chambers rupturing more of the air chambers, this event will continue until there are no remaining air chambers or until the remaining force in less than the force needed...

Abstract

A protective garment that reduces the energy transfer from an impact or a fall by consuming some of the mechanical energy transferred to the person wearing the garment and decreasing the amount of injury to that person. The material used in the manufacture of the garment is a polymer, often termed “air bubble packing”. The protective action uses a design that has one or more layers of the air bubble packing or one air chamber fashioned into a robe style garment for the purpose of reducing the amount of injury to the wearer from an impact with an UN-yielding surface. The air chambers are intended to cushion or rupture as pressure is applied, after the collapse of the first air chamber the next air chamber or layer of chambers and the process is repeated.
