  • Patent number: 10143863
    Abstract: Apparatus includes a coverall garment having a waist section, and is configured to be worn by a range of users, in which users each respectively have a waist region defining a corresponding respective circumferential waist size. First spaced-apart belt loops are circumferentially affixed to the waist section of the coverall garment, and are configured to selectively receive a belt for a first user which has a first user vertical height that ranges within a first user vertical height range. Second spaced-apart belt loops are positioned relative to the first spaced-apart belt loops, and are circumferentially affixed to the waist section of the coverall garment. The second spaced-apart belt loops are configured to selectively receive the belt for a second user which has a second user vertical height that ranges within a second user vertical height range.

  • Publication number: 20170074621
    Abstract: Personal protective equipment is for use by a user. The personal protective equipment includes a garment assembly and a pocket assembly each configured to be thermally insulated and fire resistant. The pocket assembly spans across a bone joint of the user once the user wears the garment assembly. The pocket assembly is configured to securely receive an armour member in such a way that the armour member spans across the bone joint of the user, and the armour member is securely positioned across the bone joint of the user. This improves protection of the bone joint against bone-joint injury resulting from a sudden impact force received by the armour member. A touch fastener assembly is configured to selectively securely open and close the pocket assembly.

  • Patent number: 7758367
    Abstract: A seating indicator for loadbreak connectors and deadbreak connectors that includes a substantially round, elastic O-ring having a body and an opening, wherein the O-ring is installed on the transition shoulder portion of a loadbreak bushing insert, and wherein the O-ring extends radially and outwardly from the bushing insert when an elbow connector is properly installed thereon. The O-ring can be hollow so that it will more easily deform and can be made from an elastomeric material in easily viewable colors.

  • Patent number: 7520773
    Abstract: A flap seating indicator for loadbreak and deadbreak connectors that include a substantially round ring-shaped body and a plurality of flaps located around the circumference of the body and extending from one of the side edges. Each of the plurality of flaps has a first section that attaches to the body and is pivotably connected to a second section that has an indicating surface. The seating indicator is attached to an inner surface of an elbow cuff lip on an elbow connector. When a bushing insert is properly inserted into the elbow connector, the second section of each of the plurality of flaps pivots so that the indicating surfaces of the flaps face the elbow connector.

  • Publication number: 20080166913
    Abstract: A view portal seating indicators for loadbreak and deadbreak connectors that includes: an elbow connector with an elbow cuff having an extended portion at the end and a plurality of openings located circumferentially on the extended portion; and a bushing insert having a mid-section and an indicating band extending around a portion of the midsection. Proper insertion of a bushing insert into the elbow connector permits the indicating band to be viewed through the openings and indicates that the connection is properly made. In another embodiment the openings are notches located at the end of the extended portion. Proper insertion of a bushing insert into the elbow connector permits the indicating band to be viewed through the notches and indicates that the connection is properly made.
