Patent number: 7065796Abstract: Fire protective trousers include an outer shell and a removable liner, the outer shell having right and left front panels which extend around and behind the center sides of the outer shell and connect with respective right and left rear panels along outseams at the rear of the outer shell, thus providing more material in the front of the outer shell and reducing rubbing contact with the body of the wearer. The respective inseams curve to the rear and down to the lower edges of the rear panels. The right and left front panels also include respective upper and lower pleats that extend from the outseams toward the inseams and from the inseams toward the outseams thereof to provide extra material in the knee areas of the leg portions.

Patent number: 6128783Abstract: A reversible sweater has a pair of contiguous configurations, one composed of a knit fabric and the other composed of a micro-fiber fabric. A wearer may select which side of the reversible sweater to wear outside and/or inside. If the knit side is worn outside, the sweater (1) has a conventional appearance, but (2) provides warmth which is a function of the knit configuration, and wind resistance, water resistance and vapor permeability, all of which are functions of the micro-fiber configuration. If the micro-fiber configuration is worn outside, (1) the sweater has a fluorescent and retro-reflective appearance, but provides (2) warmth which is a function of the knit configuration, and (3) wind resistance, water resistance and vapor permeability, all of which are functions of the micro-fiber configuration.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 1998Date of Patent: October 10, 2000Assignee: Blauer Manufacturing Company, Inc.Inventors: Stephen J.
