Description
- 1. Technical Field
- This invention relates to a garment, and more particularly to a wetsuit.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Skin-tight garments such as wetsuits are notoriously difficult to put on, and pose particular difficulties for those who are inflexible and/or have physical disability.
- Consequently, in order to improve the aforementioned inconvenience and disadvantages, those in the related industrial fields have developed a wetsuit having a zippered entry opening for providing a larger entryway for a wearer. However, besides through the neck opening of the wetsuit, cold water also can enter or leave the wetsuit via the zipper, decreasing the wetsuit's capability to retain warmth.
- Hence, how to effectively provide a wetsuit for solving the aforementioned inconvenience and disadvantages, is considered as one of serious issues to be studied.
- The present invention is to provide a zipperless neck entry wetsuit. By eliminating the zippered entryway of the traditional wetsuit, water never enters and leaves the wetsuit via the zipper so as to prevent the body heat of the wearer from being lost rapidly.
- The present invention is to provide a zipperless neck entry wetsuit. By eliminating a zipper of the zippered entryway from the traditional wetsuit, the whole elastic performance of the wetsuit can be improved consequently so as to increase the alacrity of the wear in the zipperless neck entry wetsuit when the wear is diving under the water.
- In practice of the present invention, a zipperless neck entry wetsuit comprises four limb portions and a torso portion connected to and in communication with the limb portions, respectively. The torso portion comprises an outer collar and a neck portion. The outer collar surrounds a neck opening. The neck opening is defined as the only entryway for a wearer to enter when the outer collar is stretched to widely expand the neck opening. Also, the periphery of the neck opening is zipperless. The neck portion is arranged in the neck opening and attached to an inner surface of the torso portion, such that the neck portion can be worn on the wearer's neck and cover and seal the neck opening after being folded downwardly.
- As mentioned above, in the present invention, since the neck opening (i.e. a main entry of water flow) is covered and sealed by the neck portion, when the wetsuit is completely sunk in water, the water hardly gets into or leaves from the wetsuit via the neck opening, thus, the body heat of the wearer will not be lost easily.
- The present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art by reading the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof, with reference to the attached drawings, in which:

It will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawings.
- Refer to
FIG. 1A andFIG. 1B ,FIG. 1A is a front perspective view of a zipperlessneck entry wetsuit 100 of the present invention, andFIG. 1B is a rear perspective view of the zipperlessneck entry wetsuit 100. - As used herein, the term “zipperless” refers to without using a zippered entryway in the
wetsuit 100, and it will be understood that the entryway is with no zipper for enlarging the entryway, but other auxiliary zippered structures, such as pockets or leg closures, may still exist and are not limited thereto. - Also, the term “neck entry” used in the specification refers to that the entryway mentioned above is defined on a neck opening 211 of the
wetsuit 100 exactly, rather than aback side 202 or afront side 201 of thewetsuit 100. Thus, thewearer 700 puts on thewetsuit 100 from the neck opening 211 of thewetsuit 100. The other terms “front side 201” and “back side 202” used in the specification substantially refer to a front main surface of thewetsuit 100 corresponding to a front side of awearer 700, and a back main surface of thewetsuit 100 corresponding to a back side of thewearer 700, respectively. - Refer to
FIG. 1A andFIG. 1B again,FIG. 1A substantially shows thefront side 201 of thewetsuit 100, andFIG. 1B substantially shows theback side 202 of thewetsuit 100. - The zipperless neck entry wetsuit 100 substantially comprises a
torso portion 200 and four limb portions which are hollow internally in which the limb portions includes a pair oflegs 400 and a pair ofarms 500, and the limb portions are connected to and in communication with thetorso portion 200, respectively. The entryway mentioned above is zipperless and is defined on a neck of thetorso portion 200 between twoshoulders 600 of thetorso portion 200, namely, the entryway mentioned above is defined to approximate to aneck region 710 of awearer 700 presented in dotted line. Therefore, thewearer 700 can force the entryway to be expanded to multiple times of its original size, so that thewearer 700 is allowed to step into thewetsuit 100 through the entryway. - The
wetsuit 100 is made with a plurality of panels which are made of foam rubber, preferably Neoprene, with at least one inner layer or laminate of fabric for reinforcement, some of the panels being more pliable than others. In particular, certain regions on the upper part of thetorso portion 200 are significantly stretchier than a majority of thetorso portion 200 of thewetsuit 100 which is made ofconventional wetsuit 100 material.Wetsuits 100 are typically constructed entirely of several millimeter-thick (e.g. 2-5 mm) foam rubber sandwiched between two laminates of fabric, inside and outside. The conventional wetsuit material is very durable, and has a high heat insulation capacity. - Refer to
FIG. 2A ,FIG. 2A is a front view of the upper part of the zipperlessneck entry wetsuit 100 ofFIG. 1A in a status before the entryway is covered. - Specifically, the
torso portion 200 is further provided with anouter collar 210 and aneck portion 300 disposed thereon. Theouter collar 210 surrounds to roughly form aneck opening 211 defined as the only entryway for thewearer 700 to entry. Theneck opening 211 in a normal status has a circumference approximating to a neck size of thewearer 700. Theouter collar 210 is stretchy and made of resilient material mentioned above, such that theouter collar 210 can be stretched to widely expand theneck opening 211 to several times (e.g. 2-3 times) as large as its original size for putting thewetsuit 100 on thewearer 700 via theneck opening 211. In one embodiment, the elongation of theouter collar 210 can reach within a range from 150% to 220% of its original size of theouter collar 210 when been stretched. In another embodiment, theouter collar 210 is stretchy enough to widely expand theneck opening 211 at maximum to a shoulder width or a hip width of thewearer 700. Theneck portion 300 is arranged in theneck opening 211, and has abottom opening 321 which can be pulled out of theneck opening 211 for being put on a neck 710 (FIG. 1A ) of thewearer 700. - Particularly, in one embodiment, the
neck portion 300 comprises aneck cover 310 and a funnel shapedliner 320. The funnel shapedliner 320 is disposed inside thetorso portion 200 of thewetsuit 100, and neighboring to theneck opening 211. Specifically, the so-calledbottom opening 321 is disposed on one end of the funnel-shaped liner, and a part of one end of the funnel-shaped liner is attached to an inner surface of theback side 202 of the wetsuit 100 (i.e. torso portion 200), and the remaining part of the end of the funnel-shapedliner 320 is not attached to the wetsuit 100 (i.e. torso portion 200). - The
neck cover 310 is presented as a tubular shape, and has a circumference similar to a neck size of thewearer 700. Theneck cover 310 is made of resilient material mentioned above, such that theneck cover 310 can be stretched over the head of thewearer 700 for compassing theneck 710 of thewearer 700 tightly. - Furthermore, in the embodiment, an inner
circumferential surface 311 of theneck cover 310 is made of a first material (e.g. fiber), and an outercircumferential surface 312 of theneck cover 310 is made of a second material (e.g. smooth skin made of rubber) which is different from the first material, and the friction coefficient of the second material is greater than the friction coefficient of the first material. - In one option of the embodiment, the
outer collar 210 of thetorso portion 200 can be furnished with ananti-slip strip 212. Theanti-slip strip 212 is presented as a long and narrow piece, and is made of a high friction material (e.g. silicone, PE, rubber or resin etc.). In a preferring embodiment, the friction coefficient of theanti-slip strip 212 is greater than the friction coefficient of the first material and second material. Theanti-slip strip 212 is transversely arranged on the outer surface of theouter collar 210 along the periphery of theneck opening 211. - Further, the expandable capability of the
anti-slip strip 212 is worse than the expandable capability of theouter collar 210, so that theanti-slip strip 212 hinders theouter collar 210 from permanent deformation when theouter collar 210 is stretched to extremes by thewearer 700. Similar, the recovery capability of theanti-slip strip 212 is better than the recovery capability of theouter collar 210, so that theanti-slip strip 212 can facilitate theouter collar 210 being recovered quickly when theouter collar 210 is no longer stretched by thewearer 700. - Furthermore, the aforementioned anti-slip strip also can be transversely arranged either on the inner surface or the outer surface of the
outer collar 210 along the periphery of theneck opening 211 instead of only on the outer surface of theouter collar 210, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other of the inventive aspects can readily be adapted to two aforementioned anti-slip strips are both transversely arranged on the inner surface and the outer surface of theouter collar 210 along the periphery of theneck opening 211. - Refer to
FIG. 2B ,FIG. 2B is a rear view of the upper part of the zipperless neck entry wetsuit ofFIG. 1B before the neck opening is covered. - As observed from the
back side 202 of thewetsuit 100, aslit 213 is formed longitudinally on the back side of theouter collar 210, namely, theslit 213 is extended according to a direction from theneck cover 310 towards theback side 202 of thetorso portion 200, so that twopanels 214 are separated by theslit 213. - In particular, two identical-directional ends of the
panels 214 both opposite to theneck cover 310 are overlapped with each other, and therefore, when theouter collar 210 is stretched to expand theneck opening 211, a stretching force on theouter collar 210 may be distributed towards two directions of theshoulders 600 of thetorso portion 200 so as to prevent from tearing on theouter collar 210. - As still observed from the
back side 202 of thewetsuit 100, theneck cover 310 is provided with atongue 330 as well. Thetongue 330 is disposed at a free end on a back side of theneck cover 310 opposite to theneck opening 211 when theneck cover 310 has not folded downwardly. - In another embodiment, at least one first fastener 331 (e.g. Velcro or buckle) is disposed on the outer surface of the
tongue 330, and two second fasteners 215 (e.g. Velcro or buckle) are disposed on the outer surface of the twopanels 214, respectively. Thus, thefirst fastener 331 is used to fix on both thesecond fasteners 215 when theneck cover 310 is folded downwardly. - Refer to
FIG. 3A toFIG. 3B ,FIG. 3A is a schematic operation view showing theneck portion 300 of the zipperlessneck entry wetsuit 100 being pulled out of theneck opening 211; andFIG. 3B is an schematic operation view showing theouter collar 210 of the zipperlessneck entry wetsuit 100 being stretched to expand theneck opening 211 for receiving awearer 700. - When the
wearer 700 desires to put on thewetsuit 100, thewearer 700 wears thewetsuit 100 according to the following steps: - Step 1: Pulling the
neck portion 300 out of theneck opening 211. In particular, theneck portion 300 is pulled out of theneck opening 211 and flipped towards a direction R1 ofback side 202 of the wetsuit 100 (FIG. 3A ), thus, thebottom opening 321 of theneck portion 300 can be moved out of theneck opening 211; and - Step 2: Stretching the
outer collar 210 to widely expand theneck opening 211 to approximate a proper width, e.g. a shoulder width or a hip width of thewearer 700, according to two opposite directions D1 and D2 from theneck opening 211 towards theshoulders 600 of thetorso portion 200, respectively, so that thewearer 700 is allowed to get into thewetsuit 100 through theneck opening 211. - Be aware of step 2, since the expandable capability of the
anti-slip strip 212 is worse than the expandable capability of theouter collar 210, theanti-slip strip 212 can protect theouter collar 210 from permanent deformation, and also, after theouter collar 210 is no longer being stretched, theouter collar 210 shrinks and recovers to its original size. Since the recovery capability of theanti-slip strip 212 is better than the recovery capability of theouter collar 210, theanti-slip strip 212 can facilitate theouter collar 210 to recover quickly. - Refer to
FIG. 4A toFIG. 40 ,FIG. 4A-4D are continual schematic operation views showing that the wearer wears the neck portion and folds the neck cover downwardly to cover the neck opening. - After the
wearer 700 gets into thewetsuit 100, and the legs and the arms of thewearer 700 correctly extend into thelegs 400 andarms 500 of the limb portions, and thewearer 700 wears theneck portion 300 according to the following steps: - Step 1: Putting the
neck cover 310 on theneck 710 of thewearer 700 through the head of thewearer 700 via thebottom opening 321 of the neck portion 300 (FIG. 4A-FIG . 4B). - Specifically, first, flipping the
neck portion 300 towards a direction R2 of thefront side 201 of the wetsuit 100 (FIG. 4A ), next, putting on theneck 710 of thewearer 700 with theneck portion 300 through thebottom opening 321 of theneck portion 300 over the head of thewearer 700 downwardly (i.e. direction D3). (FIG. 4B ) - Step 2: Arranging the funnel shaped
liner 320 to totally stay inside thetorso portion 200 and underneath the neck opening 211 (FIG. 2A ), thus, the funnel shapedliner 320 substantially fits and contacts the inner surface of thetorso portion 200 of the wetsuit 100 (SeeFIG. 2A ). - Step 3: outwardly and downwardly (i.e. direction D3) folding the
neck cover 310 towards theneck opening 211 in order to cover theneck opening 211 with the folded part of the neck cover 310 (FIG. 4C ,FIG. 4D ). - After the
neck cover 310 is folded outwardly and downwardly to cover the neck opening 211 of theouter collar 210 with the folded part of the neck cover 310 (FIG. 4D ), a periphery of the folded part of theneck cover 310 completely covers the periphery of the neck opening 211 of theouter collar 210, and the anti-slip strip 322 presses the outer surface of the folded part of theneck cover 310 to seal theneck opening 211. - Meanwhile, refer to
FIG. 2B andFIG. 4E ,FIG. 4E is a rear view of theneck cover 310 being folded downwardly to cover theslit 213 and to be fastened on the rear side. - Since the
neck cover 310 is folded outwardly and downwardly, thetongue 330 is directed downwardly to cover the slit 213 (FIG. 2B ) as well, and also, thetongue 330 can be fixed on both thesecond fasteners 215 with the first fastener 331 (FIG. 4E ). - Therefore, since the neck opening 211 of the
outer collar 210 is covered and unexposed by the folded part of theneck cover 310, and thetongue 330 is fixed on thepanels 214 and covers the slit 213 (FIG. 2B ), thus, when thewetsuit 100 is moved into the water, it cuts down the possibilities of the water flowing around inside the wetsuit, and the possibilities of the water entering and leaving from theneck opening 211, and thus, the body heat of thewearer 700 will not be lost easily. Further, since the zipperlessneck entry wetsuit 100 of the present invention is no longer provided with a zipper of the zippered entryway thereon, it might make thewear 700 feels more comfortable in the zipperlessneck entry wetsuit 100, and the whole elastic performance of the zipperlessneck entry wetsuit 100 can be improved consequently so as to increase the alacrity of thewear 700 in the zipperlessneck entry wetsuit 100 when thewear 700 is swimming under the water. - Also, since the
anti-slip strip 212 provides a friction with the outer surface of theneck cover 310, theanti-slip strip 212 can keep the outer surface of theneck cover 310 staying within theneck opening 211 tightly, and thus, it further lowers the possibility of water entering and leaving from theneck opening 211. - Even though the zipperless wetsuit in the drawings are shown and described in conjunction with a full-body suit, the present invention is not limited thereto, and many of the inventive aspects can readily be adapted to other styles, such as spring suits with short sleeves or short trousers.
- Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that a variety of modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention which is intended to be defined by the appended claims.
- The reader's attention is directed to all papers and documents which are filed concurrently with this specification and which are open to public inspection with this specification, and the contents of all such papers and documents are incorporated herein by reference.
- All the features disclosed in this specification (including any accompanying claims, abstract, and drawings) may be replaced by alternative features serving the same, equivalent or similar purpose, unless expressly stated otherwise. Thus, unless expressly stated otherwise, each feature disclosed is one example only of a generic series of equivalent or similar features.
