In order to achieve the above-mentioned objects, the invention includes: a raincoat having a plurality of vent units arranged at a predetermined position thereof; and a plurality of bay windows being prominent-shaped, arranged at an external surface of each vent unit, and having a top edge, two side edges extended downward from both sides of the top edge and a cover surface arranged between the top edge and the two side edges to form a hollow cover body with a downward opening between the raincoat and the bay window and block at a front of the vent unit; such that the rainwater does not sink through the vent unit into the raincoat; moreover, the top edge and the two side edges of the bay window form an inverted U-shaped structure made of a flexible and elastic material for the cover surface to have a support strength; such that when there is an external force such as wind or rain, the cover surface does not deform and lean against the external surface of the vent unit, remaining a ventilating path between an inner edge of the hollow cover body and the surface of the raincoat.
Based on the technical features disclosed, the top edge and the two side edges of the bay window form a rib body shape having greater thickness than the cover surface and the raincoat for having sufficient support strength.
Further, the cover body has a bottom rib at a bottom edge thereof for connecting to the two side edges to form a curved arch-shaped body combined with the top edge, the two side edges, and the bottom rib, so that the opening of the hollow cover body remains open.
The present invention further comprises a coated body arranged at an inner edge surface of the raincoat and positioned on a top of the vent unit, having joint unit on a front surface and a reverse surface thereof to remain air circulation of the vent unit; the coated body can be folded downward to cover on the vent unit and close the vent unit.
Based on the technical features disclosed, the present invention provides the bay window made of elastic materials is arranged on an external surface of each vent unit to form a ventilating path between each vent unit and a raincoat structure. Moreover, the bay window structure is strong and elastic and the hollow cover body has sufficient strength and flexibility to prevent the vent unit from rainwater and physical damage and avoid the deformation of the ventilating path.
Referring to
The raincoat 10 has a plurality of vent units 11 arranged at a predetermined position thereof and each vent unit 11 has a plurality of small through holes. In this embodiment, the raincoat 10 includes one-piece raincoat and two-piece raincoat. The plurality of bay windows 20 are prominent-shaped, arranged at an external surface of each vent unit 11, and has a top edge 21, two side edges 23 extended downward from both sides of the top edge 21 and a cover surface 22 arranged between the top edge 21 and the two side edges 23 to form a hollow cover body 24 with a downward opening between the raincoat 10 and the bay window 20 and to block in front of the vent unit 11; such that the rainwater does not sink through the vent unit 11 into the raincoat 10. Moreover, the plurality of bay windows 20 is made of flexible and elastic materials. In this embodiment, the plurality of bay windows 20 is made of any of the flexible plastic, flexible nylon and polyethylene or the combination thereof. The top edge 21 and the two side edges 23 of the bay window 20 together form an inverted U-shaped structure for the cover surface 22 to have a support strength S; such that, when there is an external force such as wind or rain, the cover surface 22 does not deform and lean against the external surface of the vent unit 11, remaining a ventilating path 25 between an inner edge of the hollow cover body 24 and the surface of the raincoat 10.
With references to 6A and 6B, the top edge 21 and the two side edges 23 of the bay window 20 together form a rib body shape having greater thickness than the cover surface 22 and the raincoat 10 for having sufficient support strength. The cover body 22 has a bottom rib 221 at a bottom edge thereof for connecting to the two side edges 23 to form a curved arch-shaped body combined with the top edge 21, the two side edges 23, and the bottom rib 221, so that the opening of the hollow cover body 24 remains open to avoid the rainwater entering into each vent unit 11 while the rainwater falls on the curved arch-shaped body, and when there is wind W, the support strength S of the cover surface 22 avoids the cover surface 22 leaning against the external surface of the vent unit 11. In this embodiment, the bay window 20 is in a small size having the height and the width thereof between 10 mm to 20 mm, and the thickness from the raincoat 10 to the cover surface 22 is between 2 mm to 5 mm. The plurality of bay windows 20 may be integrally molded with the raincoat 10 or may be processed and combined with the rain coat 10 after being molded. Due to the thin thickness of the projection of the raincoat 10 and the elastic materials of bay window 20, the users do not feel uncomfortable but comfortable and ease for the good ventilation of the present invention when wearing the ventilating raincoat with bay windows.
With references to 7A through 8B, a coated body 30 is arranged at an inner edge surface of the raincoat 10 and positioned on a top of the vent unit 11, and a joint position 31 is arranged at a predetermined position of the inner edge surface for joining with the coated body 30. The coated body 30 has joint units 32a, 32b on a front surface and a reverse surface thereof to joint with joint units 12a, 12b arranged on an upper and a lower position of the inner edge surface of the raincoat 10. The coated body 30 as shown in
With the reference to
Based on the technical features disclosed, the present invention provides the bay window 20 structure having the top edge 21 and the two side edges 23 together forming an inverted U-shaped structure for the cover surface 22 to have support strength S. Further, the top edge 21 and the two side edges 23 of the bay window 20 together form a rib body shape having greater thickness than the cover surface 22 and the raincoat 10 to have sufficient support strength. At last, the bottom rib 221 of the cover body 22, the two the top edge 21, and side edges 23 together form a curved arch-shaped body for the opening of the hollow cover body 24 to remain open, strengthening the bay window 20 structure.
Therefore, the bay window 20 structure is strong and elastic and the hollow cover body 24 has sufficient strength and flexibility to prevent the vent unit 11 from rainwater and physical damage and avoid the deformation of the ventilating path.
Although particular embodiments of the invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
