  • Publication number: 20120000003
    Abstract: A garment assembly includes a garment and a seat. The seat includes a front surface, a rear surface, a first side surface and a second side surface and defines an aperture that extends through the seat from the first side surface to the second side surface. The assembly further includes an at least partially elastic member including a first end section attached to the garment, a second end section attached to the garment, and an intermediate section extending through the seat aperture. At least one of the first end section and the second end section are elastic, and the intermediate section is elastic, such that the seat is deployable between a stowed position and a deployed position and exterior to the garment in the stowed and deployed position. The seat is configured to extend substantially vertical while stowed and substantially horizontal while deployed.

  • Patent number: 8032949
    Abstract: A garment (14) with an associated seat (22) is disclosed. The seat (22) is interconnected with the garment (14) using at least one elastic strap or strap section (56). This allows the seat (22) to be moved from a stowed position to a deployed position by stretching at least one strap section (56). Moreover, the manner in which the strap sections (56) are integrated alleviates the need to disconnect the seat (22) from the garment (14) in any manner when moving the seat (22) from its stowed position to a deployed position.

  • Patent number: 7832067
    Abstract: The stealthiness of a camouflage fabric product is enhanced by rendering the camouflage pattern in three dimensional relief. In one implementation, a treatment such as an anti-pill treatment is applied to selected portions of the pattern prior to a finishing process. In the case of a circular web fabric, the finishing process may involve fleecing the fabric. In this manner, a cost effective process is provided for constructing a three-dimensional relief camouflage fabric product.
