Abstract: A wearable dress unit comprising a garment assembly, an inflatable bladder connected to the garment assembly, a plurality of connection structures disposed on an exterior of the garment assembly, an inflation assembly disposed in fluid communication with an inside of the inflatable bladder, and a pocket structure. The garment assembly is wearable at all times when worn in a conventional position, and provides flotation when removed and disposed in a flotation position. The plurality of connection structure forms a retaining engagement that at least partially secures the garment assembly to the individual. The inflation assembly may dispose the inflatable bladder into an expanded and a collapsed orientation. When respectively disposed in the flotation position and in the expanded orientation, the garment assembly and the inflatable bladder are cooperatively configured to provide flotation to the individual. The pocket structure may retain and permit operation of a communication device.

Abstract: A disposable life-saving garment for use in the event of fire, comprises a body-protecting portion and a head-protecting portion. The body-protecting portion is configured with a lining formed to enclose the body of a wearer and a cover covering the liner, the cover being made of a sealed material that can block the passage of air. A closed air passage is formed between the liner and cover. A compressed air tank is installed in a pocket of the cover and is connected to the air passage through a check valve. An intake hose supplies compressed air from the air passage of the body-protecting portion to the head-protecting portion. The head-protecting portion has a heat-resistant transparent window and a one-way outlet unit. The body-protecting portion and the head-protecting portion are made of a nonflammable material or a fire retardant material.

Abstract: A submarine escape suit assembly comprises a submarine escape suit (10) and a liferaft pack (11). The pack (11) is formed by an outer casing (20) that can be pulled open to access a sealed inner casing (21) containing a liferaft. A cord (27) on the inner pack (11) is pulled to commence inflation of the liferaft (10).

Abstract: A submarine escape suit includes an ascent stole (22) for assisting a wearer to ascent to the surface from a submarine. The suit also includes a life preserver stole (26) that can be inflated on reaching the surface, to provide the suit with additional surface buoyancy. The life preserver stole (26) can also be inflated underwater to provide the suit with additional ascent buoyancy, if required.

Abstract: A personal anti-drowning system comprising a front fastening inflatable cocoon and inflating means: the inflatable cocoon being fabricated from a water and air resistant fabric such that at least part of the inflatable cocoon comprises air tight inflatable pockets at least on back of said suit and wherein when inflated and in water, said inflatable pockets support a person within the cocoon above the water, who can partially unfasten front fastening of the suit and sit up so that body below the waste is in said cocoon and torso, head and arms of the person protrude out of said suit.

Abstract: A personal anti-drowning system comprising an inflatable body suit and inflating means: the inflatable body suit being fabricated from a water and air resistant fabric wherein at least part of the inflatable body suit comprises air tight inflatable pockets.

Abstract: An anti-exposure flotation suit for children is fabricated from water impermeable fabrics, and is sealed at various openings to prevent water from leaking into the enclosed interior. Elongated sleeves and a bottom of the suit are enclosed to prevent water leakage. A watertight zipper may be used to close an opening through which a child is placed for donning the suit. A flexible collar and hood seals the neck area from water leaking into the suit. The length of the sleeves and suit are adjustable to fit various sizes of children.

Abstract: This invention relates to a full body swimsuit for enhancing a swimmer's performance in the water. Swimming performance is enhanced by optimizing swimming efficiency, which include influencing the swimmer's physiological responses, improving the accuracy of the swimmer's movements, and optimizing the direction of the resultant propellant forces by modifying the propellant areas.

Abstract: An inflatable immersion suit is provided with an inner layer which is inherently more elastic than the outer layer so as to ensure a close fitting of the inflated suit around the body of the wearer, thereby providing effective anti-hypothermia protection to the wearer.

Abstract: An anti-exposure suit is disclosed that protects a wearer against environments characterized by extremely cold temperatures. The suit comprises a coverall type garment including an outer layer of lightweight fluid impervious material and an inner fluid impervious layer defining an air-tight bladder therebetween for injection of gas to form an insulative layer between the wearer and the surrounding environment. In a preferred embodiment of the suit the inwardly facing surface of both the inner layer and the outer layer are highly reflective to minimize the loss of radiant heat. A life vest including pockets adapted for in place injection of buoyant material may be provided as an integral part of the suit or provided separately as an overgarment as desired. The outwardly facing surface of the outer layer may be provided with a highly visible surface to facilitate location of a wearer during a search and rescue operation.

Abstract: Survival suit mainly for use in water, made of a pliable material allowing the wearer to swim easily while wearing the suit. The suit consists of a watertight outer skin (a) and of an inner skin (b) which are held together by an interlayer (9) which acts as insulation. The mid-section (7, 8) of the suit is designed and functions like bellows or folds (5, 7, 8). These folds start down at hip level and extend upwards on the suit. The purpose of this design is to allow the wearer to withdraw his arms from the sleeves (6) and bring them into the main body (16) of the suit in order to attend to his personal hygienic needs or to be able to rub the parts of his body which suffer from the cold.
