Definitions

• -M'y invention relates to improvements inair--v pervious clothing' and more particularly toA a 'sys-l tem 'of interrupted seams Vand ⁇ -apertures ⁇ which provide yopenings for the entrance of voooh-'fresh air to thebody and which ⁇ permitbodylheat to escaper f jf; ,1.2. i
• Thel main object of my invention is,therefore, the provision of clothing whichcan-be made of normal cloth and-if necessary-of heavy, ⁇ sturdy i5 cloth, but which, ⁇ nevertheless, provides for 'cooling, breathing, and Ventilating of thosepartsof the human body on which the most perspirationx develops, .as for instance around the neck, ati the I chest, the armpits, near thewaistline, andbetw'ee'n'A j20 the legs.
• Still another object of my invention is'the pro-"x vision 'of apertures 'of various sizes at places which arenormally covered by an overlapping piece of ⁇ cloth, or by plaits, or the like in such a manner 40 that the apertures are invisible but are adapted to allow circulation of air through them.

• Fig. 19 is a diagrammatical front elevation of ythe pair of trousers shown in Fig. 18.
• a piece I of cloth is secured to another piece 2 by means oi an interrupted double seam 3, the interruptions oi said seam providing openings 4 through which air can ow as indicated by arrows in Fig. 4.
• the pieces l and 2 can be joined-as shown in Figs. 5 to 7 inclusive-at a small distance from their edges 5 and 6 by an interrupted main seam 1, providing openings 8 at the interruptions of said main seams 1, and the edges 5 and 6 can be connected to a Strip 9 by means of interrupted seams III and I I in such a manner that a casing or channel I2 is formed Y through which a coil I4 may extend in order to keep the casing or channel always open.
• the coil may be of any desired shape or material. I prefer to make the coil of light, resilient material, for instance of horse hair, and to make it of triangular profile as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, or of oval profile as shown in Fig. 12, or round (not shown).
• the coil will not only keep the casingV or channel l2 open, but it will also keep the; openings 8, at the interruptions of the main seam, and the openings I6 and I1, at the interruptions of the seams I0 and I I, open so that always a suicient circulation of air is assured.
• FIG. 1 A similar seam system as shown in Figs. Ato inclusive is the one illustrated in Figs. '8 toA 10' inclusive, where it will beseen, that... the pieces ⁇ I and 2 are also connected to each other by an interrupted main seam 1 leaving openings '8,' and theouter edges 5 and 6 yofrthepieces I and 2 are connected to a strip 9l byinterrupted seams III and II so that aircan circulate through the openings 8, which are covered by the-,strip 9, and through the openings 4which occur atthe interruptions of the seams I0 and II.
• The..strip Q may beat the outer orl innerside ofthe garment; v,particularly in the case of uniforms I prefer tov c over the interrupted seams by outside strips.
• the seam systern illustrated in Figs. 1l to 14 inclusive may be used; in this case the pieces I .and 2, are. also connected to each other by an interrupted main seam 1, butat the interruptions of this seam 1 there are apertures I9., and in alignment With these apertures I9 there arerecesse's 20 at both sides of the strip 9.
• the system shown infFigs. ⁇ 11,'t0 14v inclusive can also be used if a row of apertures I9is in one single piece of cloth and ifAthese apertures should be covered at theinner .,onouter. side ⁇ by a strip 9 so as to form an always open airchannel I2.
• inverted.boxmlaits' one example of which is 4shown in Figs.-.15 to 1'1Jinelusive.
• the air can pass from the openings 21 through the openings 30 to the body, and the openings 21 are completely invisible, whereas the openings 30 are covered at the inner side by the part 28.
• the various systems described above can be used, for instance, on trousers as shown in the diagrams'Figs.- 18 and 19 oron shirts and the like.
• the seam system of Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive Y vof Figs. 8 to 10 inclusive may be used for the Aso inner trousers legs seams 32 or for shirt seams and the like; the seam system of Figs. 5 to '1 inclusive or of Figs. 8 to l0 inclusive or of Figs. 11
• ' "t'o'17inclusive may be used for outer trousers legs seams 43; the seam systems of Figs. 5 to '1 or of Figs. 11 to 14 inclusive may be used-in connecvtion with small coilsfor the trousers patch seams45; the. seamsystem ofv Figs. 8 to 1Q inclusive may be used for the trousers rear part 41.
• apertures is shown only in they example of a pair of trousers, itwillbe obvious that theseseam systems and apertures can also be used for any otherv ,typesA of garments, apparels, coats, andthe like.
• V j l prefer to make the apertures and openings at ,.theinterruptions of seams larger and to place them at smaller distances from each other at parts of the-garments. which arci adjacent to strongly perspiringI parts of the v.body than at parts of the garments which are adjacentto less perspiringparts of the body.
• Y v Further modiications will be apparent to those skilled in the artV and it is desired, therefore, that myinvention be limited only by the prior art and the scoperoithe appendedclaim.
