Embodiments provide methods of disassembling an apparel product. The methods include exposing an adhesive of the apparel product to a composition having an acidic pH. The adhesive is disposed at least partially between a major component and a minor component of the apparel product. The adhesive includes a material having a boronate ester bond. The major component forms a base portion of the apparel product and is configured to be supported and worn at least partially over a portion of a wearer. The minor component forms a secondary portion configured to be coupled to the major component with the adhesive. The methods include separating the major component from the minor component adjoined by the adhesive.

In some embodiments, a hood and outerwear garments with single attachment points for children wearing coats in car safety seats are disclosed. In some embodiments, the outerwear garment is comprised of a winter bonnet having an insulated lining and a single attachment point at the upper anterior portion of a coat. In some embodiments, the single anterior attachment prevents the hood from being inadvertently lodged behind a child—potentially limiting the safety seat's ability to secure the child. An object of some embodiments is to prevent a hood from interfering with car safety seat restraint systems.

A detachable glove comprising at least two layers that are separated by an adhesive layer, wherein the adhesive layer includes a wetting agent, a latex coagulating agent, a synthetic organic polymer and water. A chlorinated detachable bi-layered glove and a method of manufacturing thereof. A polymer coated, detachable, bi-layered glove and a method of manufacturing thereof. A method of peeling a detachable bi-layered glove wherein the method includes (i) pulling cuff area of the outer glove layer until its circumference is detached from the inner glove layer and (ii) peeling off the outer glove layer once the full circumference of the outer glove layer is detached from the inner glove layer to yield the inner glove layer for further usage.

A disposable isolation gown including a body covering layer comprising a first portion, a second portion, a first sleeve and a second sleeve. The disposable isolation gown includes a head insertion aperture defined by the body covering layer, wherein the head insertion aperture is disposed between the first portion and the second portion, and adjacent to the first sleeve and the second sleeve. The disposable isolation gown includes a perforation extending vertically along the second portion of the body covering layer.

The clothing line with attachable pockets and interchangeable patches is a kit that includes a plurality of garments, one or more pocket structures, a plurality of patches, and a plurality of garment seams. Each garment seam selected from the plurality of garment seams attaches an individual pocket structure selected from the plurality of pocket structures to an individual garment selected from the plurality of garments. Each individual patch removably inserts into an individual pocket structure such that the image applied to the individual patch is visible through the individual pocket structure from the exterior of the individual garment. The clothing line with attachable pockets and interchangeable patches enables the image displayed on any individual patch to be readily moved and displayed from the first individual garment to any second individual garment selected from the plurality of garments.

A safety glove having a protective member or insert extending around the fingertip of the safety glove is provided. The protective member may be positioned along the outer surface or the inner surface of the glove. Alternatively, the protective member may be integrally formed between two layers of glove material. The protective member terminates distally from an interphalangeal joint line to enable finger flexion in order to grasp an item, such as a slab of meat to be deskinned in a skinning machine. The glove may include a rough outer surface formed from thrice dipping the glove and allowing the glove to cure. Additionally, the glove may have a width near the wrist that is wider than the width near the palm to enable the glove to be rapidly removed (i.e., doffed) in an emergency event of the glove getting caught in a rotating blade on the skinning machine.

A mask includes a shield portion, wherein the shield portion is a transparent material configured to protect a face of a user, wherein the shield portion includes at least a top edge, a first hole, and a second hole, and a band portion, wherein the band portion includes a first end and a second end, wherein the band portion includes a plurality of male tabs proximate to the first end and a plurality of female portions configured to receive the male tabs to secure the band portion to a head of the user, wherein the band portion further includes a front rib portion extending away from a front surface of the band portion and in contact with the shield portion, wherein the band portion includes a first and second tab extending away from the front surface, wherein the first tab and second tab are configured to enter the first hole and second hole and secure the shield portion to the band portion.

A method for producing an improved mask or device for killing or deactivating pathogens, such as viruses. A mask or device produced in accordance with the method for producing. A method for killing, or making inviable, viruses, such as airborne viruses.

A body support wrap adapted to encompass a body article of a user while elastically encompassing and supporting a fluid communication element, the body support wrap includes first and second flexible elastomeric surrounding sidewalls that are adjacent to one another and offset on an upper end forming a mouth opening and the first and second sidewalls are evenly displaced on a lower end forming a closed attachment, wherein an interior pocket is formed therebetween the first and second sidewalls that the fluid communication element is disposed through the mouth opening, wherein operationally via the first and second sidewalls elasticity the fluid communication element is held anyplace within the interior pocket in multiple positions adjacent to the user for the convenience and comfort of the user.

Embodiments herein are jacket systems with interchangeable elements that can form a jacket with configurable or swappable components. For instance, a customizable jacket that includes components of the jacket system includes a jacket body, a sleeve-receiver fastener, and a waist-receiver fastener. The jacket body is configured to fasten into a closed configuration and to unfasten into an open configuration. In the closed configuration, the jacket body defines an inner space interior to the jacket body. The sleeve-receiver fastener is integrated with the jacket body at a shoulder of the jacket body and is configured to attach a detachable sleeve, such that the detachable sleeve is toollessly detachable from the body. The waist-receiver fastener is integrated with the jacket body along a lower portion of the body, and the waist-receiver fastener is configured to attach a detachable waistband, such that the detachable waistband is toollessly detachable from the body.
