Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an outerwear garment which is convertible to a three dimensional camouflage garment.
- Three dimensional camouflaged garments, of the type used by hunters, having an open mesh net base and a plurality of leaf or foliage appendages which simulate leaves or foliage in colour and shape, being secured thereto, are well known. Such a camouflage construction is described and illustrated for example in Leonard Canadian Patent No. 2,020,632 issued Sep. 14, 1999. Other camouflage garment constructions of general background interest are described and illustrated in Smith U.S. Pat. No. 2,744,348 issued May 8, 1956, Shepard et al U.S. Pat. No. 5,203,033 issued Apr. 20, 1993, Moyer U.S. Pat. No. 5,159,718 issued Nov. 3, 1992, Lee U.S. Pat. No. 4,792,471 issued Dec. 20, 1988, Weber et al U.S. Pat. No. 5,695,835 issued Dec. 9, 1997, Crawford U.S. Pat. No. 4,517,230 issued May 14, 1985, Shamblin U.S. Pat. No. 5,274,848 issued Jan. 4, 1994, Specklemire U.S. Pat. No. 5,958,526 issued Sep. 28, 1999, Sanders U.S. Pat. No. 5,773,101 issued Jun. 30, 1998, Rossini U.S. Pat. No. 6,060,142 issued May 9, 2000 and Lawler U.S. Pat. No. 5,901,372 issued May 11, 1999. In most of these prior art constructions, either individual pieces of camouflage must be meticulously fastened to the under garment, or else the garment is permanently made in three dimensional form (e.g. Sanders U.S. Pat. No. 5,773,101 and Webber U.S. Pat. No. 5,695,835).
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a simple but effective construction of garment which allows simple versatility by enabling the wearer to readily convert it to a three dimensional camouflage type garment or a conventional “two dimensional” garment.
- In accordance with the present invention there is provided, in combination, an outer garment and a three dimensional camouflage covering for all or a part of the outer garment. The three dimensional covering comprises an open mesh net base and a plurality of leaf or foliage appendages, in leaf or foliage simulating colour and shape secured thereto. Means are secured to peripheral portions of the three dimensional covering and to portions of the outer garment releasably to releasably attach the three dimensional covering onto the outer garment in operable fashion.
- As will be described in more detail subsequently, the garment may be in the form of a hooded or non hooded jacket, or pants, or both. The garment according to the present invention is thus readily convertible to either three dimensional camouflage form, by the attachment of the three dimensional covering over the outer garment, or to a conventional outer garment by removing the three dimensional covering.
- These and other advantages of the invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description and upon referring to the drawings in which:
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a person wearing both a hooded jacket and pants in accordance with the present invention; and
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged, partial view of the upper part of the jacket of FIG. 1, illustrating in more detail the garment construction according to the present invention.
- While the invention will be described in conjunction with an illustrated embodiment, it will be understood that it is not intended to limit the invention to such embodiment. On the contrary, it is intended to cover all alternatives, modifications and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
- In the following description, similar features in the drawings have been given similar reference numerals.
- Turning to FIG. 1 there is illustrated a combination
outer garment 2 having hoodedjacket 4 andpants 6 in combination with a three dimensional camouflage covering 8 for the hooded jacket and three dimensional camouflage covering 10 for thepants 6, in accordance with the invention. The hoodedjacket 4 andpants 6 are conventional jackets and pants and for instance may be of camouflage colour to resemble wooded or bush conditions. The three dimensional camouflage coverings 8 and 10, as can be seen in FIG. 2, comprise a conventional construction of openmesh net base 12 and a plurality of leaf orfoliage appendages 14 which simulate leaves or foliage in colour and shape, secured for instance by stitching 16, tobase 12. - Mating zipper means18, as can be seen in FIG. 2, secure upper portions of camouflage 8 to upper portions of the hooded
jacket 4. In this illustrated embodiment, a three dimensional camouflage hood covering 20 is secured to covering 8 by means of a further zipper means 22, so that, when in position, three dimensionalcamouflage hood cover 20 covers thehood 24 attached to hoodedjacket 4. - Also, as can be seen in FIG. 1, zipper means26 secured to upper portions of three dimensional camouflage covering 10 for
pants 6, about the waist portion, and about the waist portion ofpants 6, as illustrated, permit releasable attachment of camouflage covering 10 overpants 6. Thecamouflage coverings 8 and 10 are really like accessories which may optionally be sold withjackets 4 andpants 6 which have been fitted with appropriate zipper portions releasably to receive, the corresponding portions of these camouflage coverings. - Thus, when it is desired to remove camouflage covering8 and 10 respectively from
jacket 4 andpants 6, all that need be done is to unzip therelevant zippers sleeves 28 to cover the corresponding sleeves ofjacket 4 when in position as illustrated. Although not illustrated, camouflage covering 8 may be a full jacket form including a body portion and sleeves, to correspond to the jacket over which it sits when attached tojacket 4. - Thus, it is apparent that there has been provided in accordance with the invention a combination outer garment and three dimensional camouflage covering that fully satisfies the objects, aims and advantages set forth above. While the invention has been described in conjunction with an illustrated embodiment thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description. Accordingly, it is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variations as fall within the spirit and broad scope of the invention.
- The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:
