  • the requirement for zippers reduces the flexibility of the wetsuit.
  • One such wetsuit without zippers is disclosed in US patent specification 4,809,364, and comprises a trunk portion, leg portions integral with a lower trunk portion, a neck portion, and arm portions integral with the neck portion and the upper trunk portion.
  • the upper trunk and neck portions include a first section integral with a first arm portion and a second section integral with a second arm portion, the first section being hinged at one side of said upper trunk section and having an opening to pass the second arm portion therethrough and extending around, including underneath the second arm portion.
  • the sections are relatively separable to provide access to or from the wetsuit with body entry being relatively downwardly into the wetsuit.
  • the first section overlaps the second section when the suit is worn by the user and seals off any opening between the sections .
  • the first section has a neck opening therethrough which is drawn over the head of the wearer when the sections are overlapped.
  • Another wetsuit without zippers in use is one which utilises a truncated neck panel hingedly attached to the remainder of the suit thereof, and having a neck aperture therethrough.

  • An upper trunk section, generally indicated as 16, overlies the upper neck section and has a head opening 17 therethrough defined by a surrounding collar 18.
  • the first of the arms 13a is provided integrally with the upper trunk section 16, whilst the second arm 13b is provided integrally with the neck section 14.
  • the upper trunk section is attached to the remainder of the trunk 11 across the front and rear of the wetsuit by means of seams 21 and 22, and also to the first arm 13a by means of a seam 23.
  • the upper trunk section 16 has a free edge 24 overlying the neck section 14 and over the shoulder of the wetsuit adjacent the second arm 13b in the condition of the wetsuit as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
  • the free edge 24, together with the upper trunk section 16 are drawn away from the second arm by stretching the wetsuit material, which being usually in the nature of neoprene which is elastic in nature, and as shown in Figure 1, the body access opening 15 is exposed to allow, with some stretching, body access down into the interior of the wetsuit .
  • the upper trunk section 16, and its free edge 24 can be returned to the position shown in Figures 2 and 3, that is, overlying the neck section 14.
  • the upper trunk section is drawn over the head of wearer of the wetsuit, with the wearer's head passing through the head opening 17 with, in the process, some stretching of the opening occurring, and the collar 18 will thereafter fit snugly around the neck of the wearer.

  • a central loop 27a of the draw cord extends outwardly through an exit aperture 30 from the sleeve approximately midway along its length, and the loop passes through a releasible locking device 31.
  • two draw cords may be provided, one attached at one end of the sleeve and the other to the other end of the sleeve, with the free ends of the cords extending through the exit aperture 30 and thereafter through the locking device 31.
  • the two draw cords would be operable in the same manner described above in relation to a single looped draw cord.
  • the wetsuit without the zippers described is therefore easily accessible, whilst at the same time provides a water seal between the upper trunk and neck section 16 and 14 which has proven to be more effective than known wetsuits without zippers, including those referred to previously in the discussion of the background art.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une combinaison de plongée (10) sans fermeture-éclair, comportant un tronc (11) pourvu de jambes (12) solidaires. Le tronc (11) comporte une partie tronc supérieure (16) et une partie encolure supérieure (14). La partie tronc supérieure (16) est solidaire d'un premier bras (13a) et comporte une ouverture (17) pour la tête, tandis que la partie encolure supérieure (14) est solidaire d'un second bras (13b). La partie tronc supérieure (16) recouvre la partie encolure supérieure (14) et comporte un bord libre (24) adjacent au second bras. Ce bord libre (24) est doté d'une gaine (25) définissant un trajet pour un cordonnet de traction (27) situé le long de ladite gaine (25) et fixé aux extrémités de cette dernière. Ainsi, lorsqu'on tire une partie du cordonnet (27) hors de la gaine (25), le bord libre (24) de la partie tronc supérieure (16), ainsi que la partie tronc supérieure (16) elle-même, se superposent fermement et de façon étanche à la partie encolure supérieure (14) sous-jacente.
