SUIT FOR OPERATING UNDER NULL-GRAVITY CONDITIONS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B64G6/00 A63B21/65 A41D31/00 D04B1/24 

FIELD: household goods and personal effects; cosmonautics.

SUBSTANCE: suit is fabricated of knitted fabric containing elastic and non-elastic knitted textile parts. The non-elastic knitted textile parts are fabricated of simultaneously loop-knitted twisted natural silk fibres and physically modified linen-like twisted polyamide filaments. The elastic knitted textile parts are fabricated of simultaneously loop-knitted polyurethane fibres, twisted natural silk fibres and physically modified linen-like twisted polyamide filaments. The latter consist of elementary profiled fibres with the following non-dimensional indices of cross-section shape modification: fill degree 0.34±10%, deformation degree 1.8±10%, branching degree 75±10%, irregularity degree 1.45±10%.

EFFECT: improved suit convenience, durability, elasticity and flexibility; reliable protection against injuries during the cosmonaut's stay inside the vehicle (station) cabinet; no dust generated as a result of the suit usage.
