Aspects herein provide methods of transforming a stowable article of apparel for an upper torso of a wearer. The article of apparel comprises a first tensioning mechanism superior to and parallel with a waist opening, and a second tensioning mechanism coincident with the waist opening and spaced apart from the first tensioning mechanism. An upper half of the article of apparel is doffed. The waist opening is folded upward toward the first tensioning mechanism forming a pouch between the first and second tensioning mechanisms where the upper half of the article of apparel is stowed. The second tensioning mechanism is tensioned, thereby stowing the article of apparel in the pouch around the wearer.

The present disclosure relates to a protective mask to deactivate damaging agents. In some examples, the mask includes a filter element that traps particles of the damaging agent.

An athletic garment has a garment body with a limb portion extending therefrom. A lateral sleeve is formed on the limb portion, the lateral sleeve having a first sheet and a second sheet that are connected together to form a strap channel that extends at least partially around the limb portion, and includes an opening through the lateral sleeve that allows access to the strap channel. A blood flow occlusion band includes an elongate strap that is fastened with a fastener, the elongate strap being positioned within the strap channel of the lateral sleeve, such that the fastener is positioned in the opening of the lateral sleeve of the garment.

The protective foot, leg, and clothing guard of the present disclosure can most generally be categorized as a protective device configured for wearing on the feet and lower legs of the wearer below the knees by encircling the leg and ankle area during wearing. The device is generally comprised of a fabric material with openings to allow the device to be pulled on by a user over their footwear and clothing to protect these areas. Accordingly, the device includes portions that can be generally referred to as an upper portion and lower portion. The upper portion generally representing the portion of the device that surrounds the shin and calf area while it is worn and the lower portion encircling the footwear of the wearer of the device, wherein this lower portion anchors the device to the footwear and alternately provides traction to a surface during use.

A cord-lock assembly for slidably adjusting a length of cord is provided. The assembly may include various components such as a cord, a cord lock, and an article layer into which the cord lock and cord may be at least partially integrated. The cord lock may include one or more components that releasably clamp onto the cord and engage the cord through resistance provided by a biasing element. The cord-lock assembly may be configured such that a force applied to the cord lock in axial alignment with an aperture in which the cord lock is positioned allows adjustment of a length of cord extending through the cord lock and/or through the aperture layer.

A disposable medical gown (100) includes a body covering portion (101) and optionally one or more sleeves (107,108). The body covering portion (101) defines a head insertion aperture (104) between a frontal body covering portion (103) configured to cover a frontal body portion of a wearer and a rear portion (203) configured to cover at least parts of shoulder blades of the wearer. A torso opening (201) is disposed on a side of the rear portion (203) opposite the head insertion aperture (104), and extends distally from the rear portion (203). One or more perforations (202) extend across the rear portion (203) at least partially between the torso opening (202) and the head insertion aperture (104), and facilitate easy removal of the gown (100). A user removes the gown (100) by pulling the front portion (103), thereby tearing the perforations. Elastic gatherings can be included to snug the gown about the torso or limbs of the user.

A headrest device includes a headrest (1) which is movably mounted on a back support (3) associated with a harness (4) for holding the back support on the back of a user. The headrest is mounted to elastically slide in longitudinal translation along the back support and is elastically attached to the back support in an articulated manner to tilt transversely. The headrest is used continuously according to the movements of the head in extension thereof towards a nominal resting position. The device may include a first torsion spring acting antagonistically in relation to the transverse tilting movements of the headrest and a compression spring acting antagonistically in relation to the longitudinal translation movements of the headrest. The two springs act synchronously during operation, continuously tracking movements of the head of the wearer in relation to a nominal rest position, with non-sliding support at the back of the head.

An enhanced exercise vest for improving squatting exercise performance includes an upper portion; a bottom portion, the bottom portion including two front sections that wraps around a portion of the torso of the user and a back section; two shoulder straps; and two clasps or brackets. The two shoulder straps connect to a back surface of the main portion, the two shoulder straps to wrap around shoulders of a user, cross, and pass through a loop attached to the back section of the bottom portion. The two shoulder straps attach to each other across a front side of the bottom portion. Two clasps or brackets are attached to the two front sections of the bottom portion.

A temperature-sensing face covering, such as a face shield, with a temperature sensor and display unit therein to provide for hands free temperature readings that go wherever the individual goes and continue to measure the individual's temperature throughout the day. The temperature-sensing face covering is simple and does not require the sites of work or other places to have any additional equipment, and provides continual readings that could very easily change throughout the day and be missed because at the beginning of the day the individual did not have a fever.
