PROTECTIVE TROUSERS Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: protective clothes. SUBSTANCE: protective trousers are provided with two bulging cover parts either of which is located on external side of front half of the trousers and fully covers the zone from knee downwards, and with two impact- absorbing liners from bulky elastic material. Either of the liners is arranged between the cover part and front half of the trousers and is composed of at least two layers, out of which the lower layer facing the front half of the trousers fully covers its zone from knee downwards and the upper layer is smaller than the lower one and has dimensions and location corresponding to the knee zone. Each of the in-between layers is made so that the distance between edges of two adjacent layers is equal to the distance between the upper and lower layers divided by the number of all the layers minus unity. Each subsequent layer of the liner following the lowermost layer is connected by stitch with all the preceding layers. EFFECT: more reliable protection of knee and front zones of ankle against mechanical impacts. 3 dwg
