PROTECTIVE CLOTHING FOR EXERCISE
To provide a body protection product such as a wetsuit that does not require a troublesome and time-consuming step such as machine sewing does not cause discomfort for the wearer, and does not result in a loss to the degree of freedom in terms of design. A wetsuit (10), in which a highly stretchable and elastic sheet-shaped fabric is draped to match the concave and convex features of the body shape off a wearer and a plurality of fabric pieces (11) are prepared, an adhesive (3) is applied to the draping surfaces of the fabric pieces (11), and the draping surfaces are then pressed against each other and joined without stitching, whereby a three-dimensional clothing base (1) is formed. Next, an adhesive (4) is applied to the surface of the clothing base and stretching is performed, whereby the surface of the clothing base is covered by a stretchable covering material (2) formed to match the shape of the clothing base (1). The clothing base (1) and the covering material (2) are compressed under heating and thereby made to adhere to each other.
SMART WETSUIT AND BACKPACK SYSTEM
A smart clothing and backpack system enables a user to perform many actions. The smart clothing includes circuitry and/or is made of a conductive material enclosed in an insulation material. The smart clothing includes a set of sensors configured to detect body information. The smart clothing includes multiple electromagnets configured to adjust a size of the smart clothing. The electromagnets are configured to have an increased attraction to make the smart clothing tighter on the body of the user. The system includes a smart backpack to communicate with the smart clothing. The smart backpack includes a Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) reader configured to detect RFID tags on or in items within the smart backpack. Many other features are able to be implemented with the smart clothing and backpack system. The smart clothing is able to include a wetsuit configured to communicate with a surfboard and/or a backpack.
WEARABLE DEVICE
The invention features methods and devices for controlling bleeding from blood vessels that may be damaged as a result of trauma or impact with an object, such as a bullet or shrapnel. The device may be wearable by a user and include one or more components, such as wound sealant and multiple inflatable balloons/bladders. The device may be integrated into a garment, e.g., a vest, jacket, trousers, or full body suit. Once triggered (automatically or manually), the device may be used to deliver wound sealant to a wound site and/or pressure to the wound site by selective inflation of one or more balloons over exsanguinating blood vessels that may be damaged, thereby stopping or minimizing the bleeding. Alternatively, or in addition, the device may be used to stabilize a wounded wearer for, e.g., transportation purposes, or to provide buoyancy. Devices of the invention may also be used as a blood pressure monitor, as a massaging device, and as a breast pump. Devices and methods of the invention may also be used for repairing or stabilizing machines, such as vehicles (e.g., automobiles and boats).

The clothing base (1) and the covering material (2) are compressed under heating and thereby made to adhere to each other.
Wet Suit and Composite Cloth Thereof
A wet suit includes a composite cloth which includes an outer tarpaulin, an inner tarpaulin and a plurality of heat insulation units. The inner tarpaulin is located on the inner side of the outer tarpaulin and connected to the outer tarpaulin. A plurality of heat insulation units are located between the outer tarpaulin and the inner tarpaulin.
WATER SPORT ARTICLE JOINT AND A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A WATER SPORT ARTICLE JOINT
A water sport article is provided. The water sport article includes a joint formed between a first panel having a greater thickness than a second panel. The joint includes an overlapping interface between the first and second panels where one or more of adhesive bonding, blind stitching, and taping is used to attach the first and second panels at the overlapping interface.
SUIT HAVING WATER-INFLOW DOUBLE-BLOCKING FUNCTION
Disclosed is a suit having a water-inflow double-blocking function. The suit includes a lower body portion, an upper body portion coupled to a top of the lower body portion and integral with the lower body portion, wherein the upper body portion has an opening defined in a top center of the upper body portion, and a neck cover coupled removably to the upper body portion, the neck cover including: a neck portion surrounding a neck, and an extension extending outwardly from a bottom of the neck portion to surround the neck, wherein the extension is inserted into the opening of the upper body portion and is coupled to an inner surface of the upper body portion, wherein the neck cover prevents water from flowing into the opening of the upper body portion.
WETSUIT WASHING DEVICE
A first irrigation assembly includes a base plate having an upwardly curved sidewall and a planar annular peripheral flange. Spray outlets on the upwardly curved sidewall provide liquid spray to exterior portions of a wetsuit at a plurality of spray angles. Spray outlets on the annular peripheral flange provide liquid spray to exterior portions of the wetsuit at spray angles different from the spray angles of the spray outlets on the upwardly curved sidewall. A second irrigation assembly includes first and second curved pipes and an upper piping arrangement having major external surfaces. First and second flow junctions provide fluid flow connection between the curved pipes and the upper piping arrangement. Spray outlets arranged along the major external surfaces of the curved pipes and the upper piping arrangement provide liquid spray to upper and lower interior rear and front portions of the wetsuit.
Suit for aquatic activity
The invention relates to a suit for aquatic activities, having a central part intended to cover the torso of the wearer as a close fit, the central part being formed between a ventral panel and a dorsal panel which are connected to one another laterally creating a top opening. The suit also includes two lateral openings and two lower openings with the ventral panel having a main slit extending between the upper opening and a lower end, the main slit to being equipped with a reversible opening device to allow the suit to be put on and taken off by transversely opening the ventral panel. The suit comprising an additional slit which extends in the dorsal panel between two ends, respectively an upper end and a lower end, the additional slit being equipped with a reversible opening device so as to allow the dorsal panel to be released transversely to make the suit easier to take off.
LUMBAR SUPPORTIVE WETSUIT
The present disclosure relates to a wetsuit that provides support for the lumbosacral region of the wearer. The wetsuit has at least one layer of foam rubber or other wetsuit material with a lumbar portion disposed in the lumbosacral region of the wearer. In certain embodiments, the wetsuit has at least one tensioning mechanism that allows the wearer to selectively change a level of support provided by the lumbar portion to the lumbosacral region of the wearer.
