Abstract: A toddler's disposable or reusable garment (10) includes “brief looking” undergarments (12) with a releasable panel (18) that extends down from the back of the waistband (16), through the crotch, and upward for connection to the top front of the waist structure of the undergarment. An absorbent disposable liner/diaper (14) of hourglass configuration is placed in overlying relationship with respect to the releasable panel (18), and the upper end portion (36) of the releasable panel and is connected in underlying relationship with respect to the top front panel 28, allowing the parent to have expedient access to the absorbent disposable liner/diaper for the convenience of changing the liner/diaper without requiring the removal of the garment from about the waist of the toddler.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward protective garments which include an expandable backpack portion located on the back area of the garment. The backpack portion includes at least one pair of left and right generally vertical pleats. As a result of the incorporation of the pair of left and right generally vertical pleats, the backpack portion has the ability to expand to receive life support or other equipment worn on the back of a wearer of the protective garment.

Abstract: A protective garment without front facing seams. The protective garment contains a body piece composed of a single seamless sheet of material. The body piece has a right body side and a left body side. Each body side includes a first and second leg edge, a torso edge and a top body side edge extending approximately half-way across each body side from the respective torso edge. The body piece also includes a right sleeve portion and a left sleeve portion. Each sleeve portion has a first and second sleeve edge, and a top sleeve portion edge. Generally speaking, the garment's construction includes approximately five seams and a closure. The closure joins the torso edge of right body side to the torso edge of the left body side to form a resealable opening at a rear face of the garment. Sleeve seams join the first sleeve edges to the second sleeve edges on each sleeve portion and inseams join the first leg edges to the second leg edges on each body side.

Abstract: A conformable face mask for health care workers is provided. The use of elastomeric materials applied under tension helps define a plurality of gathers which facilitate the donning and positioning of the mask. An elastomeric headband maintains a comfortable and efficient seal while a similar elastomeric chin strap helps provides a pouch-like enclosure for the wearer's chin. The substantially rectangular face mask includes a plurality of horizontal stays which are individually adjustable to create a three dimensional shaped mask which defines a spaced breathing area around the wearer's nose and mouth. Additional rigidity is provided by the selected melting of horizontal bands of the filter portion of the mask.
