A method for manufacturing and folding a gown which increases manufacturing efficiency and consistency and decreases the time to manufacture. Additionally, the method includes folding a gown for packaging which will allow a person to don the gown with minimal contact with the outer portions of the gown.

A garment includes an upper portion adapted to fit an upper portion of a wearer of the garment and a lower portion extending from the upper portion. The garment also includes a first adjustment component disposed within the garment, the first adjustment component being attached to a portion of the lower portion and a first tab disposed on a first location on the garment and extending from the first adjustment component, the first tab being is selectively attachable to a portion of the upper portion. The first adjustment component draws the lower portion toward the upper portion in response to the first tab being moved toward the first location.

A garment includes a first portion adapted to fit a first portion of a wearer of the garment and a second portion extending from the first portion and adapted to fit a second portion of the wearer of the garment. The garment also includes a first adjustment component disposed within the garment, the first adjustment component being selectively attachable to a portion of the second portion. The garment also includes a first chamber disposed on the first portion, the first chamber being adapted to retain the first adjustment component. The garment also includes a first tab disposed on a first location on the garment and extending from the first adjustment component, the first tab being selectively attachable to the garment. The first adjustment component draws the second portion toward the first portion in response to the first tab being moved away from the first location.

A garment includes a first portion adapted to fit a first portion of a wearer of the garment. The garment also includes a second portion extending from the first portion and adapted to fit a second portion of the wearer of the garment. The garment also includes a first chamber disposed on the first portion and a first opening disposed proximal an upper portion of the first portion. The garment also includes a receiving portion disposed on an exterior portion of the first portion.

A face mask comprises a container coupled to a first surface of a face mask, a fragrance material disposed in the container, and an exhalation valve coupled to a second surface of the a face mask. The fragrance material comprises a fluid configured to evaporate from the fragrance material, and the container is configured to releasably engage the exhalation valve to form a closed chamber. The closed chamber is configured to enclose the fragrance material when the container is releasably engaged with the exhalation valve.

A filter mask for filtering air inhaled and exhaled from the mouth and nostrils while providing a secure fit and comfort to the wearer is provided. The filter mask has upper and lower edges which are provided with at least one malleable stiffener for conforming to the shape of the wearer's nose and cheek area and/or the lower jaw and chin area. In some embodiments, the filter masks further comprises a malleable stiffening member configured to conform the filter material to at least a chin portion and a jaw portion of the face. In some embodiments, the malleable stiffener can have a bend portion, which allows the wearer of the mask to know which part, center and side of the mask is to be properly placed on the nose and cheek area. The masks provide excellent filtration and provide a secure and comfortable fit to the wearer.

The present invention relates to a garment with a storage pocket that is integrally attached inside a garment such as a suit coat or other coats so that the garment can be easily stored and kept. The garment with a storage pocket of the present invention includes: an upper part made to be worn on an upper body; a lining attached inside the upper part; and a storage panel attached to the lining corresponding to a back of the upper part, sewn at an edge to the lining, and having a slit vertically formed at a center, in which the upper part is stored in a space between the lining and the storage panel when sides of the lining and the storage panel facing each other are turned inside out through the slit.

A flame resistant protective head shield includes a hollow body having a neck receptacle to facilitate the body being positioned around a neck of a wearer. The body has an exterior surface and an interior surface. The interior surface defines an interior cavity. An opening is provided in the exterior surface in communication with the interior cavity. A flexible flame resistant substrate is provided having a secured end and a free end. The secured end is secured to the body. The substrate is movable between a stored position within interior cavity and a deployed position in which the free end of the substrate extends through the opening and upwardly to cover a head of the wearer. A pressurized gas powered actuator is provided to move the substrate in a fraction of a second from the stored position to the deployed position. A sensor is provided for detecting a flash fire coupled to the actuator. Deployment of the substrate by the actuator is triggered by the sensor sensing a flash fire.

A transformable garment that folds and envelops the wearer with a garment body with panels that use origami folding and shape memory alloy (SMA) elements to assist to transform the garment from an expanded state to a retracted state is provided. Garment designs with transformable panels and sleeves can benefit those who have trouble dressing by allowing the garment to wrap around and fit the wearer without outside help. These types of clothes are expected to be beneficial for people with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and also for populations with other body movement disorders and elderly people.

Some embodiments include a respirator. The respirator includes a mask structure comprising one or more layers, multiple folds, and a contact surface region, and the one or more layers include a filtration layer. Meanwhile, the respirator includes an attachment mechanism coupled to the mask structure. The attachment mechanism is operable to couple the mask structure to a face region of a user. The user has a maxilla bone having a first frontal process and a second frontal process, and when the mask structure is coupled to the face region of the user by the attachment mechanism, the multiple folds conform the contact surface region to the face region of the user over the first frontal process of the maxilla bone and over the second frontal process of the maxilla bone. Other embodiments of related respirators and methods are also disclosed.
