Abstract: A garment for securing and storing bodily fluid drainage reservoirs and other fluid reservoirs. The garment comprises a loose-fitting body with at least one small aperture for receiving drainage tubing and at least one pocket cloth partly fixed to the body of the garment and partly detachably coupled to the body of the garment which allows for the easy storage and removal of the fluid drainage reservoir. The pocket cloth allows for the continuing support of the drainage reservoir as the drainage reservoir becomes heavier e.g. about 1 kilogram, due to the collection of fluid draining from the patient into the drainage reservoir. The secure storage of the drainage reservoir enables the wearer to move without worry of the drainage reservoir coming loose, losing fluid, or being exposed to a non-sterile environment external to the pocket cloth. The garment may be configured for wear by male and female children and adults.

Abstract: A safety glove for a workman is shown having a fingerless body portion for covering the palm and top of the hand, and attached finger and thumb as well as palm and top hand covering portions that can be easily separated from the main body portion by a pulling motion exerted lengthwise or otherwise along any one of the separable portions, which pulling motion would be produced, for example, when the top end of one or more of these finger portions or top hand sections is caught in a machine or snagged by a drill bit and the workman, with a reflex action, pulls his hand in an opposite direction. The instantaneous separation of the finger, thumb, palm or top hand covering portions from the main glove body portion prevents the entire gloved hand from being pulled into the machine and thus permits the workman to remove his hand from the danger zone.
