Description

 Title: Nursing Suit Description [0001] This invention relates to a garment for medically dependent persons for cladding at least an upper part of their legs, their intimate area and their buttocks. The garment comprises a torso section with a back. At the Torsoabschnitt two leg sections are attached. At the transition between Torsoabschnitt and the two leg sections is a crotch area, which cloths the genital area. Furthermore, the item of clothing comprises an openable and closable seat access area, with which an opening on the rear side of the item of clothing is at least partially closable, and which in the closed state is partially arranged in the back and partially in the leg sections. Further, the garment comprises a

Closing area in which the buttocks access area with the garment for closing is connectable. The invention can also be used in one-piece garment pieces for body and legs in other applications, for example, in clothing for crafts, transport, industry, sports, leisure or for the home.

When reference is made to a body part with respect to the garment, it is always meant a part of or a location on the garment that is meant to be at the point or places on a person wearing the garment and to whom it fits.

The leg sections merge into the torso section at the point where the leg sections form a tube transverse to the longitudinal direction of the garment. The crotch area includes a location where the leg insides and the torso portion converge. The buttocks access area also allows access to the private parts.

In the prior art special clothing for the care of people in need of care are known, for example, one-piece suits or pants. For care arises the problem that for the access to the buttocks and the genital area, for example, for a toilet while sitting or changing diapers, the garment pulled out, shared or at least must be opened.

For this purpose, a variety of patent applications are known, for example, JP 11 061522 A, JP 2002 129409 A and JP 2004 263 327 A. In these patent applications, the problem of access to the buttocks and the genital area is solved in that on the front of a one-piece suit has a zipper that allows the entire front to open from the neck area to the crotch. These suits can be opened even further by opening another zipper on the inside of the thighs and through the crotch. The disadvantage of this solution, however, is that In the open state, the buttock area of the person still rests against the buttock area of the suit and can potentially soil it with excrement.

There is further known a variety of disclosures describing a one-piece suit for those in need of care that can be opened laterally to allow the front of the suit to be removed from the person. Examples of these are the AT 006839 Ul, FR 2 544 594 AI and JP 2004 033786 A. This type of suit also has the disadvantage that the rear half of the suit remains on the buttocks and can be contaminated, for example, when changing diapers. From JP 200 2020910 A a trouser is known, which on the back and the front of the

 Torsoabschnitts each have an opening in the middle. These openings are interconnected through the step. This entire opening can be closed with a cover portion, of which a narrow part, which lies between the parts for the front and back, runs over the genital area. When open, access to diapers should be created without having to take off their pants. The disadvantage, however, is that for opening and closing the cover of the genital area must be touched, which can be perceived by the person in need of care as well as the caregiver as unpleasant.

From JP 2004 263327 A a pants is known, the opening of the buttocks two

Has zips that run from the belt area to the crotch. In order to better expose the buttocks, four more zips run into the crotch, two of which run on the insides of the pant legs and two in the area between the zippers in the legs and over the buttocks. The disadvantage of this solution is that meet six zippers in step, which means extensive operation directly in the genital area.

The US2012 / 0167271 AI discloses a coverall for hunting, construction and industry, in which a arranged above the buttocks area back bib is closed by two zippers, each extending to one leg. The disadvantage of this clothing, especially for

persons in need of care that access to the genital area is only possible on the back. A comprehensive intimate care, which also includes templates or an artificial bowel outlet on the front, is not or not easily possible.

The object of the invention is to provide a clothing in which when opening the buttocks area of the crotch area is not directly affected by the opening process, but the buttock area is exposed as a result of operations elsewhere than the crotch area. In addition, the entire genital area should be easily accessible. The invention is defined by the features of claim 1. The subclaims define preferred embodiments of the invention.

There is proposed a garment in which, along each of a portion of the closing area of the seat access area in each of the leg portions, the leg portions are respectively exposed in their longitudinal direction or oblique to their longitudinal direction, and the portions of the closing area in the

Leg sections run outside of the crotch area.

In this way, when the buttocks access area is opened, the crotch area of the garment as part of the buttocks access area as a whole can be removed from the crotch area of the person. Since the crotch area is released from the back-up by the opening of the closing area, the crotch area of the clothing falls forwards and down on a standing person and exposes the intimate area. The crotch area of each garment is quite strongly fixed in its position when the closing area is closed in the leg sections by the leg sections being wrapped around the legs, unless the legs have been closed

Leg sections are very wide cut or very elastic. However, even in the latter cases, the fixation of the crotch portion to the leg portions is reduced when the leg portions are opened respectively in their longitudinal direction or obliquely to their longitudinal direction. Opening across the longitudinal direction of the leg portions does not have this effect.

The clothing has a holding device, which ensures that the person continues to wear the item of clothing in the opened state of the seat access area, that is to say that the part of the

Garment outside the buttocks access area in this state does not slip down the person. This retainer may be, for example, a shoulder portion of the torso portion that extends over at least one shoulder and prevents the garment from slipping off the person. The sleeves can also have the function of a holding device, for example a very large section. The restraining means may also be a narrow portion of the torso portion of the garment which does not lose its holding action on the torso of the person when the buttocks access area is open, as is the case, for example, with trousers which are evident at the side seams. The holding device may thus be, for example, a federal government, in particular above the

Buttocks access section can be arranged. The garment may also have the form of a pair of pants, the back of which covers a portion of the back of the torso of the person in the closed state of the buttocks access area. In the open state of such pants, for example, a belt may have the function of the holding device. The buttock access area may in particular run below the belt. Alternatively, it is also possible that the buttocks access area between the belt and the person is removable. In yet another alternative, the belt or even a waistband in the closed state of the buttocks access area of the buttocks access area to be covered. A belt and / or a waistband can be used to put on the garment on the back of the

Apparently, or removable from there garment. At least a portion of the seat access area may be formed as a flat portion, in particular of textile. One or more portions of the seat access area may be formed as a slit in the garment.

Preferably, the buttock access area extends to below the crotch and includes the crotch area and a portion of the leg portions at the leg inner sides. This correlates with the arrangement of the closing areas in the leg sections. Preferably, the seat access area comprises at least a portion of a buttock area of the back that covers the buttocks. The opening in the back forming part of the buttock access area may be e.g. to the top of the back. The upper edge can then preferably be folded down to below the step. The opening in the back, which forms part of the seat access area, may extend in a portion in the back which is spaced from the sides of the back. As a result, the buttocks access area is not too far away from the person's buttocks, or close to or just behind the buttocks. The clothing then preferably does not need to be moved far when opening, so that the buttocks can pass through the opening. The buttocks access section may extend far beyond the buttocks, for example, to an area between the shoulder blades or to an upper edge of the garment or to the shoulder or over the shoulder to the front. The seat access area may be a longitudinally elongate portion of the garment. The seat access area may be detachable from the rest of the garment. The seat access area may be inextricably linked to the rest of the garment at the leg portions.

The closing areas in the leg sections may be connected to one another along the course of the closing area and / or via visible sections of the seat access section.

Preferably, at least one of the closing areas in the leg sections extends on one

Rear side portion of the leg portion and / or a leg outer side portion of the leg portion.

Preferably, the closing region extends in sections or completely along the edge of the buttocks neck region. It is conceivable to completely remove the seat access area from the garment. For this purpose, the closing area over the leg sections to the front of the

Clothing item. Thus, the buttocks access area can be completely surrounded by the closing area. It is also possible to open the buttocks access area at the bottom and front and remove them from the top to the back. For this he can at his bottom in a bottom uninterrupted Closing area to be opened. The portion of the garment that forms the buttock access area then does not hang down and can not touch the ground.

The maximum distance between the closing portions in the leg portions at the transition between the torso portion and the leg portions generally corresponds to the width on which the

 Clothing can be opened in the crotch. However, even a narrow closure section allows the realization of the inventive concept. The width of a closure portion can be manually expanded by widening the buttock access area by manually pulling the side edges away from each other. This is especially true when pulled in the longitudinal direction of the leg sections

Locking areas easily possible. Preferably, the width of the buttocks access area is approximately half or more of the width of the clothing at the transition between Torsoabschnitt and the

Leg sections. Preferably, the width of the seat access area is selected so that the required manual broadening of the seat access area by pulling the side edges away for toilet flushing is less than 125%.

The closing region can have continuous connecting or non-connecting intermediate sections, for example, if the connection can be effected by means of Velcro strip sections and / or buttons. A non-connecting intermediate portion may also comprise a part of an edge of the garment, the part of the buttocks access area, in particular at the neckline and, or possibly also at an armhole. However, all sections of the closure area are preferably designed to be continuous with one another. The sections of the closing area then all adjoin one another. The buttock access area preferably extends over both sides of the back.

Particularly preferably, the closing area extends outside the shoulder blades (med. Scapula) and / or the large rolling hill (med. Trochanter major, on the outside of the hip) and / or of the

 Sacral area (med. Sacrum). This has the particular advantage that the closing area, which is usually thicker, harder and more inflexible than other locations of the item of clothing, is not arranged at locations which are particularly heavily loaded when the person lies down and therefore tend to form pressure marks or pressure sores.

Preferably, at least a portion of the closing area extends in the longitudinal direction of the torso or obliquely to the longitudinal direction of the torso on the back to a Torso-Schließbereichende or synonymous upper Schließbereichsende on the back of the garment on the back. The torso closure region end is preferably located above the middle torso or the back of the person, more preferably in the upper region of the back, in particular between the shoulder blades, or at the neckline, especially at the back or side of the neck portion, or in or at a collar or in or on a hood, or up to 15cm below the neckline or on the shoulder, especially at the top of the neck Shoulder or to the lateral neck muscles (medical: Trapezius), in particular to the middle or upper end, or over the shoulder to the upper end of the front of the

Garment. Especially when using a zipper to close the

Closing area of the slide is in the closed state advantageously to lie in a position at which the slider in the supine position of the person does not press on body sites on which the person rests on a pad. Especially in the elderly, the skin is i.d.R. significantly thinner, so that it is easily vulnerable to pressure, which can lead to skin damage (medical: ulcer).

In this way, it is possible to put on the garment from the back by inserting legs and arms through the buttocks access area into sleeves and leg portions of the garment. A particular advantage is that it is possible to sit or lie down during this tightening process without hindering this process. If the closing area does not extend to the neckline and the neckline is not opened by opening the closing area, the garment may be tightened by inserting the head through the buttock access area in addition to arms and legs. The head then passes first through the buttocks access area and then from the inside of the neckline. The garment can be on the front one

Opening mechanism, for example, a front zipper or a button placket or one or more Velcro fasteners, which runs in particular in the longitudinal direction of the clothing. If this Öffnungsmechanisus is open, will be put through the head is facilitated ^as' open the front provides a better passage. In particular, the neckline can be opened at the front, which facilitates the insertion of the head through the neckline. For this purpose, the garment at the front of the neckline have a button or a button placket or a front zipper or a Velcro fastener. The insertion of the head is substantially facilitated if the upper closing-range end is arranged above the middle of the torso, seen in the longitudinal direction thereof.

After inserting arms and legs, the person can close the seat access area. Then the person wears the garment. The person can get up to close the seat access area. It can also be a part of the buttocks access area to be closed while sitting. When the closing area on the back and legs is opened, there is another advantage in that the fabric can be gathered laterally adjacent to the closing area and pushed aside or placed in front of the person's body. As a result, a part of the back and the buttocks is largely free. It is thus possible, for example, to change diapers or the like, for example, from incontinent persons without being impeded by clothing. The person does not have to take off the clothing. A seated toilet business gear can be considerably simplified by the ability to zusammengeaffen the garment laterally. The person in question may open the garment on the back and on the legs which Gather clothes sideways and forwards and sit on a toilet for the toilet business. Upon completion of this process, the garment on the back can be closed again without removing the garment or removing arms or legs from the garment.

Preferably, the closing area extends to the neckline. If the neckline is also revealed by opening the closing area at the back, the person's neck will close when closing

Closing area also enclosed. If a zipper for opening and closing the

Closing area is used, this is preferably close from bottom to top and ends in the neckline. It is also conceivable that a zipper runs to the neckline and is open from bottom to top, whereby it is divisible at the neckline. In this way, the

Neckline to be opened. A portion of the closing area may extend laterally from a hood to the neckline. Preferably, the garment on the front of an opening means, which extends from the neckline down. An opening device allows in the case where the

Closing area on the back is not enough to the neckline, an easier insertion of the person's head through the neckline of the garment. The opening device extends from the neck portion preferably at least 10 cm down. This greatly facilitates the passage of the head through. More preferably, the opening means extends at least to a point corresponding to the lower end of the breastbone of a person who fits the garment and who wears the garment. When the opening means reaches down so far, this allows the garment to be put on and taken off over the front of the garment. These additional inputs and

Exit option may be advantageous for demented or immobile persons who are unable to independently open the seat access area. The front, however, is easily accessible to them.

Preferably, the garment has two closing portions, each extending from one leg portion to a respective upper torso-closing region end. The closing areas extend between the lower and upper shooting range ends, and thus substantially in

 Longitudinal direction of the garment, which includes that the closing areas may extend in sections or entirely obliquely to the longitudinal direction, in particular in approximate waveform at least a portion of the closing areas. At least one of the closing area preferably has one

Zipper, wherein the upper Torso-Schließbereichende is located between the shoulder blades or at the neckline or on or in a collar or in a hood of the garment. The closing areas preferably extend laterally from one another and in particular symmetrically to a notional center line of the item of clothing which extends in its longitudinal direction. If in the closing area a zipper is inserted, is preferably in each case a band of

Zip fastened to the seat access area and a strap attached to the rest of the garment.

Preferably, the zippers end laterally adjacent to each other at the upper torso closure region end. Preferably, there is the distance of the zippers less than 5cm.

The portions of the closing portion on the back of the torso preferably converge toward each other on both sides of the buttocks access area. Preferably, the upper end of the buttocks access area is tapered. Alternatively, the closing area with respect to the longitudinal direction in the area of the thoracic spine at a narrow point may have the smallest width at the torso. The sections of the closing area on either side of the buttock access area may extend from the legs to the bottleneck. The portions of the closing portion on both sides of the buttocks access area may extend away from each other toward the upper end of the garment above the bottleneck. The constriction is preferably between the shoulder blades of a person wearing the garment.

The neckline may be executed to the rear obviously. The closing range then extends to the neck portion, it being sufficient if a single section of the closing area reaches there. When two sections of the closing area extend to the neckline, the portion of the neckline therebetween belongs to the buttock access area. It is also possible that a closing range extends to the approach of a hood or a collar, which has the same effect in essence. The closing portion end may terminate at a distance below the neckline, collar or hood. The garment substantially retains its shape when the closure portion is opened. The shoulder portions of the garment remain joined at the back by a connecting portion at the neckline, collar or hood.

The zippers have in an uppermost area between them an angle of less than 40 °, preferably less than 30 °. This has the advantage that then the zippers can be better closed when the person wearing the item of clothing, pulls the slider at least one zipper on an operating device to the top, because the pulling direction then better matches the direction of the zipper. It is also possible to use an angle of 0 °. This allows, for example, the buttock access area to be a narrow strip at the top. A narrow strip at the upper end of the buttocks access area can consist in extreme cases only of the mutually facing bands of the two zippers. A narrow strip has the advantage that, for example, it fits in well between the shoulder blades and thus does not bother much. It is also advantageous if the buttocks access area as small as possible, since he by his weight the Closing the zippers is generally difficult. However, the larger angles have the advantage that a more open at the upper end buttock access area is created, through which the head can be better plugged when tightening. In addition, can be arranged by divergence between the zippers fabric of the buttocks access area, which may be an advantage from a designer's point of view.

Preferably, the upper end of the buttocks access area is attached to a slider of a slide fastener which extends to an upper torso-closing-band end and is to be opened downwardly or to a member movable with this slider. This has the advantage that the upper end of the buttocks access area does not hang down freely and possibly drag on the floor while the opened buttock access area hangs from the garment at a lower attachment point and extends in the manner of a loop from the slider to the lower connection point. Another advantage is that zippers close to upper torso closure region ends, with the closing of which the buttock access area is pulled up, are easier to close. The weight of the

The rear access area then only needs to be lifted to a lesser extent at the zipper cascade.

A lower closing end may be arranged approximately in the middle or below the middle of the thigh. Then a leg tube can be opened so far that it is possible to bring the garment so far forward in the open state of the buttocks access area, that the front

 Intimate area is easily accessible. The lower closing region end may also be located at or below the knee or in the middle of the lower leg or at the leg of the garment. Then the distance that a foot of a person puts on the garment is through the leg of the

Garment must be plugged, shorter, which makes dressing easier.

Preferably, at least one slider or a handle of a slider is a

Control device attached. In particular, the operating device comprises a flexible, elongated element, for example at least a band, a cord, a rope, a chain and / or a wire, and / or an elongated solid element. The operating device can be gripped to move the slider. The operating device is preferably expandable, wherein it is particularly langziehbar.

Preferably, the operating device is designed as a slide connection which connects at least two slides for different sections of the closing area. This has the advantage that the

Operating device such as a loop can be used, which simplifies the operation.

In addition, several slides can be moved at the same time. Alternatively, it can be designed as an operating device for a single slider. The expandability of the operating device has several advantages. If it is pulled with momentum by means of the operating device on a slider, the energy used will only partially pass on to the slider, because first the control device is lengthened. As a result, for example, the forces on a slider, which clamps on the back, can be reduced, so that the zipper is less likely to be destroyed. Another great advantage is the ability to

Grip control device on its back at its end and pull it out. This in turn makes it possible to pull up the operating device for closing at least one zipper behind the back. The hand of the person makes a movement similar to the throw out to a throw and the beginning of the throw, but considerably slower. The movement is only possible because the operating device allows the movement of a slider from a distance. Pulling directly up the back, on the other hand, is virtually impossible. However, a long operating device is disadvantageous because it can interfere with swirling around. The expandability therefore also provides for a control device that is short when not in use.

The rigidity of a single zipper operator is preferably designed so that, with a small to medium expansion, for example at least 10% of the total expandability, it will have approximately the same forces as moving a zipper of the type sewn into the garment. transfers. The nominal land width is e.g. at least 3 and not more than 7 mm. The same applies to a slide connection.

The total length of the fully expanded slide connection for two slides is preferably greater than 40 cm, and in particular between 1 m and 1.50 m. An operating device for a slider preferably has an expanded length of at least 20 cm, which may be sufficient for small sizes, but preferably at least 50 cm and more preferably between 50 cm and 75 cm. For medium sizes, this length allows a loose arm movement to close the garment on the back. For large sizes, an expanded total length of more than 75 cm may be optimal.

Preferably, the length of the operating device is selected so that the operating device extends from an upper Torso-Schließbereichende at least to the lower end of the shoulder blades, wherein the slide connection is in particular not expanded.

Preferably, at least one operating device can be fastened to the item of clothing in addition to the attachment to one or more sliders, in particular in the shoulder area, in the

Chest, back, armpit, neckline, hood, collar, or arm. This has the advantage that the operating device does not stumble around disturbing freely. Another advantage is that it is known at which point the operating device can be found, if they is attached. Seeking gripping after the operating device is thus eliminated. In particular, the operating device can be fastened to the item of clothing at its free end or near its free end. On the garment, a part of a fastening device for the

Be attached control device. As fastening means, for example, a Velcro connection, a push button or magnets are conceivable.

Preferably, the closing area has at least one branch, at which three sections of the closing area coincide with a different course. An advantage of this is that the garment is more separable and subdividable by more closing areas with different course. It is therefore easier to create a large opening on the buttocks and / or back and the fabric is easier zusammenraffbar side.

The closing area comprises at least one zipper, preferably two and most preferably three zippers. Preferably, the zipper closes when moving the slider in the direction of the branch. In this way, when opening, e.g. freely movable sections of the garment arise between the zippers, which can be easily moved to the side.

Preferably, the branching is preferably located outside the sacral region and / or outside at least one scapula and / or outside at least one large rolling mound, and preferably between the scapulae and or in the region of concave curvature of the spine, in particular above the sacral region.

Preferably, at least one zipper for opening and closing the closing area is equipped with a free-running slider. If the zipper is opened a little way, the zipper can be further pulled by pulling on the already open part. This greatly facilitates the opening of the garment on the back. Preferably, all slide fasteners of zippers are on the back, and moreover, all slides of zippers in the legs also prefer free-running slides. Preferably, at least one leg portion can be separated from its lower end in the longitudinal direction or obliquely to the longitudinal direction along a leg opening region. This makes it possible to expose the lower leg and there, for example. To provide wounds that are present for example in open legs (med. Ulcus cruris). People in need of care are often affected by this. Preferably, the leg opening area is connected to the closing area in the leg section. This makes it possible to use a common closure means in the closing area and in the leg opening area. Preferably, exactly one zipper passes through the leg opening area and the closing area in the

Leg section. This simplifies the manufacture of such a garment. Such a Zipper is preferably a zipper that is revealed from both sides with sliders that are pulled against each other when opened, or a zipper that is separable at the lower end of the leg section. Preferably, at least one sleeve of a long-sleeved garment is provided with a sleeve closure for opening the sleeve in the longitudinal direction thereof. Preferably, the sleeve closure extends beyond the elbow joint. So can easily access to

Blood vessels are created on the arm. This can e.g. be helpful in a blood collection or dialysis or infusion treatment. Preferably, the sleeve closure is arranged on the inside of the sleeve. This has the advantage that then when you open the sleeve of the sleeves to the outside

can be taken away and lying on the inside of the arm blood vessels are easily accessible.

Preferably, the garment for closing or opening at least a portion of the closing area from bottom to top at least one zipper and at least one

Backstop, preferably one on each leg of the garment for each foot. The anvil can be designed, for example, as a foot strap, as a stocking or as an open front stocking. As a stocking or stocking he can be integrally formed with the rest of the garment. The anvil is preferred with the closing area in relation to train little flexible connection. When closing the zipper, it may happen that the

Closing forces in the material that the zipper is supposed to join folds that complicate or prevent the closing of the zipper. This is especially common, but not exclusive, with compliant fabrics such as crocheted. By the foot loop, the zipper is pulled tight when closing, which significantly reduces the tendency to fold. For example, the anvil may be connected to the zipper with a counterhold connection

Closing forces from the zipper into the anvil transfers. The anvil is preferably connected to the lower end of the closing area, or to the leg opening area, preferably to the lower end thereof. So the whole zipper is pulled tight. Similarly, a zipper that is closed or opened from above can be pulled tight by a backstop that rests against the shoulder when moving.

Preferably, the garment has at least one to close the closing area

Zipper and at least one material reinforcement for the material on at least one side of the zipper on. The material reinforcement serves to reduce the tendency of the material to wrinkle when closing the zipper. In particular, the material reinforcement stiffens the material surface laterally of the zipper. For example, a reinforcement may be fastened parallel to the zipper as a stiffening band or piping or string to the material adjacent to the zipper. It can also be used a zipper, which is less limp than a Standard zipper is. Alternatively or additionally, the zipper by means of a

Material reinforcement with a non-zippered portion of the garment to be connected to train little yielding. Low compliance means less compliance than the material in which the material reinforcement proceeds. The material in the surface can be stiffened. This can be helpful in particular in the case of flexible material such as a knitted or knitted fabric. For example, the zipper can be connected to the crotch area by means of a material reinforcement in a tension-resistant manner, so that forces can be absorbed when closing the zipper in the crotch. It is also possible to use the zipper by means of a

To connect material reinforcement with a counter-stop, where the person with one hand, the forces when closing the zipper can pick up and tighten the zipper. It is also conceivable to provide a material reinforcement up to a point far from the zipper, in order to distribute the forces when closing in a large area along the material reinforcement.

Preferably, the garment for closing and / or opening of the closing portion has a closing mechanism with at least one traction means, wherein the traction means is connected to the slide at least one zipper and is particularly adapted to the fact that the person pulls on the traction means at a towing point directly or indirectly , especially by hand. It can be provided for opening and closing each separate traction means, both of which can be attached to the same slide. It is also conceivable to reverse the pulling direction of a traction means by a Zugumkeinrichtunginrichtung such as a pulley or a deflecting course. The guide for the traction means can extend from the back over the shoulder, so that the traction means for closing the zipper can be pulled from the shoulder up, up-front, front, front-down or down. Alternatively or additionally, a traction means can be guided to the side of the torso, so that can be pulled to the side and / or back and or forward and / or laterally and forwards around the body and or up to the traction means to the

 Close the zipper. With a pulling means for closing the difficulty can be overcome, having to resort to closing on the back of the garment. With a pulling means for opening, for example, it is possible to open the first piece of the zipper when closed, so that the item of clothing can be opened with a free-running slider by pulling it sideways on the zipper. It is also possible to open a zipper with a traction device further or completely.

The traction means may run in a pulley having a bottle attached to the clothing and having a free bottle, the free bottle being adapted to be towed on the pulley to move the traction means. In this way, the way the slide travels can be a multiple of the distance that the pulley is pulled lengthen. The number of strands of traction means passing between the bottles is two, three, four or more. This number determines the factor between the distance the pulley is moved and the path of the slider. The bottles are preferably designed with one or more rollers.

The traction means may extend from a draw point to the slider by guides connected to the item of clothing. Such a train may also be a bottle of a pulley. The guides may e.g. Loops on the material of the garment and / or eyelets therein and / or channels therein or thereon.

For example, a traction device can run directly from a tractor to a slider. However, it is also possible that a traction means runs from a first slider to a second slider. In particular, the traction means can pass through the first slider and moves it through the sum of the forces in the traction means sections to the draw point and to the second slider. In this way, for example, with the displacement of the first or the second slide the

Force direction to be changed in the traction means. For example, a zipper extends from a leg section across the back to between the shoulder blades. On the slide of such

 Zippered a traction device can be attached and run over the shoulder to a train. In this case, the traction means may be guided in a guide over the shoulder. In another example, three zippers extend to a branching of the closing area above the sacrum, from where each a leg zipper closure in a leg portion and a back zipper closure between the

Shoulder blades runs. To move the slider of the back zipper and one of the

 Leg zips, a traction means can be guided from a lateral draw point in a guide in the vicinity of the branch and extend from there to the slider of the back zipper. From the tow location, another traction means may pass through the guide near the branch to a slider of a leg zipper. It can be arranged on both sides of the garment ever two traction means, one of which extends to the slider of the back zipper and one each to a slider of a leg zipper. It is also conceivable to use only one traction device per side to close the three zippers. For this purpose, this traction device passes through the guide in the vicinity of the branch to the slider of the back zipper and from there to the slider of a leg zipper, wherein it is not fixed to the slider of the back zipper in its direction of movement. The slider of the back zipper can thus be moved by the forces in the strand of the traction means to the guide and in the strand to the leg zipper. Thus, two slides can be moved by means of a traction means. Preferably, the traction means extends from a guide in the vicinity of the branch on one side of the garment to the slider of the back zipper and from there to the slider of the leg zipper on the other side of the garment, in particular traction means from both sides of the garment

Garment run in this way, so that the traction means on the slide of the

Cross back zipper. Alternatively, a traction device from the guide near the Branch first to a slider of a leg zipper and from there to the slider of the back zipper. In another alternative, a traction means may extend from the shoulder to a slider of a leg zipper and from there to the slider of the back zipper. Also in the latter two alternatives, the three zippers can be closed in this way with two traction means.

To close a zipper, a traction device is pulled out of the item of clothing at the towing point. This has the consequence that in the closed state of the zippers a long piece of traction means is outside of the garment. The traction means is preferably arranged in a hose which can be expanded in its longitudinal direction. This hose can shorten after pulling on closing again, so that only the shortened hose with the traction means inside is located on the outside of the garment.

Preferably, a towing point can be fixed to the item of clothing. In particular, a lateral draw point on the front or the side of the garment is fixable. In this way, a traction means can be prevented from free-roaming. Alternatively or additionally, a towing point, the traction means extends over the shoulder, be fixed to the shoulder or on the front of the garment. In addition to a pulling means for closing, a pulling means may be provided for opening to a slider of zippers in the closing area, preferably to each of the zippers. For example, a pulling means for opening the back zipper by a guide run below the shoulder blades. From the guide, the slider of the back zipper can be pulled down. A pulling means for opening a leg zipper can be guided in a guide on the back or in the leg section, so that from there the slider of the

 Leg zipper can be pulled up. The intended path of a draw point of a pulling means for opening can be considerably shorter compared to the length of the zipper, in particular if free-running slides are used. The zippers can be pulled up as soon as they are open a sufficient distance.

For example, in the care of demented persons, it may be necessary to at least partially deny these persons direct access to their own body for protection against ill-considered and harmful actions on themselves. For this purpose, the garment may offer the possibility of not readily performing zippers. The complicated opening of a zipper is preferably optionally activatable and deactivatable. The difficult opening is for one

Garment with free-running slider particularly relevant, since they can be opened very easily. It is proposed a garment, a closing area is closed with a zipper, wherein a slider of the zipper on the opening of the zipper by means of a fixing device or a locking ring or a blocking device is hinderbar. Forces on the slide, which could open him without further action, but over one

Fixing device, a locking ring or the blocking device to a band of

Zipped or transferred to an area near it. This transmission can take place directly or via one or more intermediate elements. Transfer to the belt has the advantage that it generally has low compliance and high strength, and thus can pass these forces without deforming too much, which may result in partial or total opening of the clothing. If one or more intermediate elements into which the forces are introduced are connected to the band, they preferably have an overall mechanical compliance of at most twice the stiffness of the compliance of the band. Preferably, a closing region of the item of clothing is closable with a zipper, wherein the zipper comprises a slider with a gripping device. The grip device need not be made in one piece, but may comprise several connected parts. The garment may include a fastener for the zipper having a first fastening component and a second fastening component. The first fixing component is with the second

Locking component for setting the slider connectable. The first fixing component is attached to the grip device. The second setting component is connected with or without intermediate elements with a band of the zipper. The gripping device between the slider and the first fixing component is rigid. Thus, forces acting on the slider in the opening direction can be transmitted to the fixing device. The attachment of the second seizing component to a strap of the zipper has the advantage that the generally good rigidity and strength of the strap is utilized to transfer forces on the slider acting forces through the fixing device with little deformation in the rest of the garment. Deformations can cause the fixing device to be moved so far that the zipper can be at least partially opened. If the slider can pass through the setting device due to deformation of the garment, the zipper can usually be fully opened. This can be prevented by the connection of the fixing device with the band.

A fixing device may be, for example, a push button or a magnetic button. Preferably, the magnetic button in the closed state positively transfer force in the direction of movement, the slider between the two Festsetzkomponenten. A fixing device can be, for example, a push-through connection. In particular, its first fixing component may be a handle hole in the handle device. Their second

Stucking component may be a through-element for insertion through the handle hole. For example, the through-element may be a pin or a hook. In particular, a push-through element on the side remote from the handle device hole in the fixed state may be fastened to a closure element which in this state does not fit through the handle device hole.

A fixing means may be an engaging connection with an engaging means for engaging a recess in the handle means. An intervention device may be, for example

Be engaging hook or an engagement slide, which engage in a recess in the handle device or the slider and so can fix the slider with respect to a movement away from the open or openable end of the zipper. The recess is not continuous, so in the

fixed state no pushing back of the engagement device from a freely projecting end of the engaging device is possible.

The through-hole element may be, for example, a pin or a hook which passes through the

Griffeinrichtungsloch is hindurchsteckbar. Preferably, a free hook end for hooking such a hook in the direction of the zipper is directed to its open or openable end. By the hook shape and the orientation of the hook end, the slider can be prevented from moving away from the open or openable end of the slide fastener. The hook may be located so close to the open or openable end of a zipper that the zipper is bent out of the plane during hooking and unhooking, in which it is in undeformed state. A fixing device may be a gripping device for gripping around the grip device. The encompassing device is in particular a clip which can be folded over the gripping device and which preferably encloses the gripping device in the overlapping state on two or three sides, which comprise a side of the gripping device remote from the strip of the zipper. Preferably, the second part is arranged at such a distance from one end of the zipper that when the fastening device is fixed, the slider is at least approximately arranged at the end of the zipper. The zipper is then at least largely closed in the fixed state. Preferably, a closing region is closable with a zipper, wherein the zipper comprises a slider and / or a gripping device for passing a closure ring and the garment at least one closure ring hole for passing the closure ring having. The hole is preferably at least partially disposed in a band of the zipper. The hole may be surrounded by an eyelet to reinforce its edge. The locking ring preferably comprises a flexible, elongated section, which preferably a steel cable or a

Plastic strip has. This section is preferably closable or closed to a ring. Preferably, the locking ring is reversibly apparent by means of a lock. Preferably, the lock is made with a threaded connection or a hook-and-eye connection or other form-fitting connection between the ends of the flexible section. Preferably that is

Garment executed with two locking ring holes. Preferably, at least one locking ring hole is at least approximately at one end of the

Arranged zipper. The zipper is then at least largely closed in the closed state of Veschlussrings.

Preferably, a closing area is closable with a zipper, wherein the movement of the slider of the zipper is blocked by a blocking device. The blocking device is attached to the item of clothing and there in particular to a band of the zipper. The blocking device is preferably adapted to be reversibly inserted into the displacement path of the slider of the zipper, in order to prevent the passage of the slider on the

Block blocking device.

The blocking device preferably comprises a two-part button. In particular, the

Blocking device a push button or a magnetic button. When a detachable member is mounted on a non-detachable member, the detachable member projects into the displacement path of the slider and the non-detachable member does not protrude into the sliding path of the slider. In this way, the slide can be reversibly blocked by placing and removing.

The blocking device may be a rotary knob that does not rotate about an axis of rotation

is formed rotationally symmetrical. The axis of rotation is the center of rotation and need not be a physically manifested axis of rotation at this point. The knob has a blocking portion which can be introduced by turning the knob in the displacement of the slider, whereby the slider is blocked. The rotary knob also has a release portion where, when the release portion faces the zipper, the slider is movable past. Of the

Blocking section preferably has a subsection with decreasing radius from the axis of rotation and in the direction of decrease below a subsection with increasing radius. In this way, in the case in which the slider runs onto the blocking portion in the region of the decreasing or increasing radius, the rotary knob can not be rotated in such a way that the release portion faces the zipper. The blocking device may be a blocking slide which is reversibly slidable in the displacement path of the slider. Preferably, the blocking slide is connected in the closed state with both bands of the zipper.

The blocking device can be a blocking folding bracket, which can be folded behind the slider when viewed from the open or openable end of the zipper. The slider can then no longer be moved away from the open or open end of the zipper. The blocking device may be arranged at least approximately at a distance which corresponds approximately to the length of the slider along the zipper to an open or openable end of the zipper. Then, the slider can be blocked in a position in which the zipper is at least approximately completely closed. The slider is preferably lockable in its blocking position, for example by sufficient friction above a position-fixing catch.

In another aspect, a garment is proposed which has on its back a portion of the closing region extending transversely or obliquely in the transverse direction of the garment with a branch from which a further portion of the closing region extends upwards. Such a garment may also be worn while sitting as described above and below. The garment may be that described with respect to that described above

Clothing except for a portion of the closing area in the legs of the garment. Applicants reserve the right to separately protect this part of the invention in a divisional application.

In a further aspect of the invention, a method for donning a one-piece

Garment proposed in which a person sits and put her arms and legs through a buttocks access area in the back of the garment in the sleeves and the leg portions of the garment, then stands up and closes the buttocks access area. If that

The garment may not have a neckline that is exposed to the rear, the method may include placing the head through the seat access area inside the garment and from there through the neckline. The neckline can be opened at the front. The method may also be performed by a helping person who does not wear the item of clothing himself. In a further aspect of the invention, a method for opening a seat access area of a garment is proposed in which at least one zipper of a

Rear access area on the back has a free-running slider, which in a first Step is opened from the fully closed state of the zipper a piece, whereupon in a second step, the zipper is pulled by lateral pull on the garment to further open the buttocks access area. The first step can be done by means of an operating device or a traction device. By the subsequent lateral pulling on the zipper, the operation is facilitated.

In a further aspect of the invention there is provided a method of exposing the buttocks area of a person wearing a garment having an open buttock area according to any of the embodiments described above, material laterally of an open one

Buttock area is moved forward relative to the torso of the person. By the term "uncovering" is meant that a buttock area covered with other garments such as underwear or a diaper is exposed.

Fig. 20 Schematically shows a person at a toilet, wearing the garment in the open state. Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a front view of a one-piece

Garment 1. The garment 1 comprises a torso portion 2, two leg portions 3, a crotch area 4 covering an intimate area of the person wearing the garment and a neckline 5. The leg portions 3 merge into the torso portion 2 at an imaginary dividing line T. , The dividing line T passes through the crotch area. The front of the item of clothing 1 has a front zipper 10 from the neck 5 in the direction of the crotch area 4. Of the

Front zipper 10 has, as shown, preferably two slides 11 and 12. With the

Slider 11, the neckline 5 can be opened at the front by moving it down. With the slider 12, the genital area can be opened at the front, by the slider 12 is moved upward. Alternatively, can be dispensed with the slider 12 and the front zipper 10 and from

Neckline be less far down. The garment 1 comprises as one

Holding device 9 which is arranged in the region of the shoulder 7 and the front and the back of the Torsoabschnitt 2 connects. Thus, the holding device 9 prevents the item of clothing 1 from falling from a person who is not wearing the item of clothing 1. The representation of a front side shown in FIG. 1 may, but does not have to be, combined with the embodiments described below of rear sides of the one-piece item of clothing 1. A double arrow indicates the longitudinal direction L of the item of clothing 1. Figure 2 shows a schematic representation of a view of the back of the item of clothing 1 in a first embodiment. As shown, the garment 1 has a hood 6, which may however be omitted in the first embodiment. The hood 6 may also be present in other embodiments in which it is not shown. FIG. 2 further shows a

Buttock access area 20 in the closed state, which extends partially in the leg portions 3 and partially in the Torsoabschnitt 2. Around the top and side edge of the

 Buttock access area 20 extends a closure means 22, which is preferably designed as a zipper. Along the upper and seiüichen edge of the buttocks access area 20 extends the

Closing region 21, in which the buttocks access area 20 with the rest of the garment 1 is connectable.

Figure 3 corresponds largely to Figure 2, but with the difference that the seat access area 20 is shown in the open state. In addition, the hood is not shown. The seat access area 20 hangs down and is mainly held by the crotch area 4. The seat access area 20 can be seen from its inside. Because the buttocks access area 20 is opened, the part of the

Crotch area 4, which is located between the legs in the closed state of the buttocks access area 20 down and free the intimate area also below. When the closing area 21 is pulled forward, the front intimate area is also released by the buttocks reinforced from the Garment 1 emerges. This works particularly well when the person is in a stooped posture. This is also favored when the closing area 21 is arranged further on the side; Moreover, when the closing area 21 and the closure means 22 continue further down into the leg portions 3.

Figure 4 shows a schematic representation of a view of the back of a one-piece clothing 1 in a second embodiment. The seat access area 20 is shown in the closed state. It extends from the lower ends 25 of the closing region 21 to the upper Torso Schließendbereichen 28 between the shoulder blades 33. The second embodiment comprises two closure means 22, which each extend from a leg portion 3 to between the shoulder blades 33. The closure devices 22 are exemplified as zippers 23 with sliders 24. The zippers can be opened downwards. The zippers 23 are arranged outside the large rolling hills 31, the sacral region 32 and the shoulder blades 33. The slides 24 are each connected to an operating device 26. The operating device 26 is as

Slider connection 27 executed, which connects both slide 24 together. The

 Operating device 26 is designed to be expandable, so that it can be pulled when opening and closing the zippers. For example, it may comprise rubber and / or another elastomer and / or a metal spring. FIG. 5 shows the rear side of the second embodiment of the item of clothing, which largely corresponds to the representation in FIG. 4, but with the difference that the closing area ends 28 in the variant shown are not arranged between the shoulder blades 33 and over the spinal column as in FIG is arranged above. The closing portion ends 28 are located between 1 and 15 cm below the neckline of FIG. The closing region 21 extends between the two closing region ends 28 below the halo cutout 5. Between the upper end of the buttocks access area 20 and the neckline 5, which is raised high up in the back, a web 35 results. The web 35 prevents the item of clothing 1 from opening in the opened state Buttock access area 20 is separated at the upper back. The closing area ends 28 do not lie above the spine. The shown are the closing area ends 28 on the lateral neck muscles. This is curved toward the front, so that a person in supine position transfers little pressure over this point on a base. As an alternative to the variant shown here, the closing region ends 28 can also be pulled further up onto the shoulder or arranged a little further down, but above the constriction 34.

The buttocks access area 20 runs increasingly narrower above the crotch area 4 as far as a constriction 34. Above the constriction 34, the seat access area 20 widened toward the top. The constriction 34 is preferably between the shoulder blades 33 or slightly below the shoulder blades 33, for example, in the area between the lumbar spine and the shoulder blades 33. Particularly preferably, the closing areas on both sides of the buttocks access area 20 between the

Shoulder blades. Lying on his back, man transmits his body weight over the

Shoulder blades 33 on a base. It is therefore advantageous that the closing area 21 does not extend over the shoulder blades 33.

FIG. 6 shows the rear side of the second embodiment of the item of clothing, which largely corresponds to the representation in FIG. 4, but with the difference that the seat access area 20 is shown in the opened state. The slides 24 are located at the lower end 25 of the closing areas 21 in the leg sections 3. The seat access area 20 hangs down and is mainly held by the crotch area 4. Because the buttocks access area 20 is opened, the part of the crotch area 4 which is between the legs when the buttocks access area 20 is closed falls down and also exposes the intimate area below. When the closing portion 21 is pulled forward, the front intimate area is also released by the buttocks emerges reinforced from the garment 1. This works particularly well when the person is in a stooped posture. The forward gathering of the lateral regions of the garment 1 outside the buttocks access area 20 is facilitated by the course of the zippers 23 far up in the garment 1. Also, getting into the garment 1 from behind for the purpose of tightening is thereby easily possible. The upper end of the seat access area 20 in the closed state is connected to one of the slides 24. This prevents a large part of the buttocks access area 20 from touching the ground in the opened state.

Figure 7 shows a schematic representation of a variant of the front of the second

Embodiment of the item of clothing 1 with the rear access area 20 open. Dotted lines mean that they are concealed in the actual view and in the view of the

Front are not visible. In contrast to the variant shown in FIG. 5, this variant does not have a slide connection, but instead two traction means 40 which extend from each of the slides 24 through the leg sections 3, the torso section 2 via the shoulder 7 to the chest 8. The traction means extend through guides 42. The guides 42 begin at the upper torso-closing region ends 28 and extend over the shoulder 7 and possibly to the chest 8. The guides 42 are preferably arranged in the interior of the item of clothing 1; however, they can also run on the exterior of it. At the end of the traction means 40, draw points 41 are arranged on which a person can grasp and pull the traction means 40. The drawbars 41 may be part of a pulley, in particular a bottle. The pulley system multiplies the path traveled by the drawbars 41. In this way, a slider 24 with a short path of a pulling point 41 can be moved the long way from the lower end of the closing portion 25 to the upper torso-closing portion end 28. The traction means 40 and the guides 42 may cross each other. However, it is notwithstanding the representation in FIG. 6, it is also possible for the guides 42 to run over the shoulder 7 on the same side, on which the associated zipper 23 is arranged. The traction means 40 can run in a lining which is open to the zipper 23. FIG. 8 schematically shows a double pulley 400 for increasing the distance traction means 40 travels to move a slider 24, not shown in FIG. 7, relative to the path a person pulls on pulley 400 to actuate slider 24. The pulley shown comprises two rollers 45 on a movable bottle 44, and a stationary roller 47, which is connected to the item of clothing 1. This movable bottle 44 comprises a pulling point 41, which is designed as a handle. The axis of the stationary roller 47 is fixed to two axle mounting portions 48 on the garment 1, wherein in the axle mounting portions 48 reinforcements for distributing the tensile forces when operating are arranged. It is conceivable to transfer these forces via the shoulder 7 to the upper torso-closing region end 28 of a zipper, for example by means of a guide 42 in which the traction means 40 runs. As a result, the associated zipper is pulled up tight. The traction means extends from a traction means attachment point 43 to one of the rollers 45, from there to the roller 47, from there to the second roller 45 and from there via the shoulder into the guide 42, from which the traction means 40 extends to a slide 24. This arrangement triples the travel traveled by the towing point 41 as it is pulled by the person on the slide 24. With a fourth roller on the axis of the roller 47 and the traction means attachment 43 on the axis of the bottle 44, a fivefold of this path can be achieved. By omitting one of the rollers 45 and the

 Zugmittelbefestigungsstelle 43 on the axis of the bottle 44, a tripling of the way can be achieved. Between the axis of the roller 47 and in the bottle 44, a return spring 49 is arranged. The pulley 400 is accommodated in a pocket 70, which is shown in FIG. 7 as transparent and only in its outlines. The bag is open in a direction in which a pulling movement is good to perform, for example, down or side-down. From there you can also pull forwards or forwards below or laterally below or laterally-down-front. The bag is preferably made so resilient that is not overloaded during movement of the towing point, which differs from the direction of the opening of the bag, or hinders the movement. The bag 70 is disposed at the transition between the chest and shoulder on the front of the garment 1. By means of the return spring 49, the bottle 44 can be withdrawn into the pocket 70. This has the purpose that the pulley 400 is not visible housed.

FIG. 9 schematically shows a view of the rear side of a third embodiment of the invention

Garment 1, in which it has three zippers 23 and a branch 29 of the closing area. The branch 29 is arranged above the sacrum region 32. Two of the three

Zippers 23 are similar to the closure means 22 shown in FIG. These zippers 23 continue to lower ends 25 of the closing portion 21, which in the third embodiment shown are located at the hem of the leg portions 3. This is how the

Zippers 23 in the legs with sliders 24, which are shown at the lower end 25 of the closing portion 21, open from bottom to top. In this way, the lower legs of the person can be exposed from the end of the leg sections 3. This feature can also be applied to others

Embodiments are applied.

When the buttocks access area 20 is opened, there is a similar situation with respect to the zippers 23 in the leg sections, as shown in FIG. The zippers 23 in the leg sections can be opened with the sliders 24 at the junction down. It is possible in the third embodiment to open the zippers 23 in the legs further down than shown in FIG. The buttocks of the person can be exposed in this way.

The opening of the zipper 23 in the back is from bottom to top. At the upper Torso-Schließbereichsende 28, the zipper 23 can be made divisible on the back. In this way, the neckline 5 can be opened at the back. As an alternative to the illustrated variant, it is also possible for the zipper 23 to be opened on the back from top to bottom. Then, the zipper 23 may be made divisible at its lower end. In both variants of the

Zipper 23, it is possible to avoid that the head must be inserted through the neckline 5 when putting on the item of clothing 1.

In order to facilitate the closing of the zippers 23 in the leg portions 3, backstops 50 may be provided at the lower ends of the leg portions 3, which are formed as foot straps 52. The foot straps 52 may be secured to the leg portion near the zipper 23 via a foot strap attachment point 51, which may be realized by a hook and loop fastener, for example. The foot straps 52 may be designed to be removable; However, it is also possible to attach them permanently. Other backstops 50 may be attached to the shoulders. Such counter-holders 50 can be designed as reinforcements 53, which are shown in dashed lines in FIG. You can be designed annular as shown. Alternatively, a ring section may be used. These reinforcements 53 can be connected to the closing region 21 or a zipper 23 via counterstay connections 54, which are also shown in dashed lines. Then forces can be found in the

 Zipper 23 occur to be introduced via the anvil connections 54 in the shoulder. The zipper 23 can be kept tighter and less wrinkles.

The slider of one or more of the zippers 23 may be designed as free-running slider. This applies to all embodiments and is particularly useful in the zippers 23, which a long distance over the back, the buttocks, the hip and / or in the

Leg sections 3 run. In the closing areas 21 next to the zippers 23 in the upper leg sections 3 and the lower torso section 2, material reinforcements 80 are arranged, which stiffen the material at this point. This can for example be compared to the material in the closing area 21st

 5 be more rigid tapes. Material reinforcements 80 may also be used in all other embodiments as well as at other locations of the closing region 21. They help to reduce drape when moving a slider 24, which makes a zipper 23 better open and close.

FIG. 10 schematically shows the third embodiment from FIG. 9 in a view from the rear side,

10 wherein the buttocks access area 20 is opened and seen from the inside. The third embodiment

 additionally configured with traction means 40a and 40b for closing the zippers 23. The traction means 40a, 40b each extend from a traction means attachment point 43a, 43b to a bottle 44a, 44b, which is preferably equipped with a roller 45a, 45b, as shown. From the bottle 44a, 44b, the traction means 40a, 40b respectively extend to the slider 24 at the upper end of the

 15 zipper 23 on the back. In this case, the traction means 40a, 40b respectively passes through a guide 42a, 42b. The guides 42a, 42b run towards the center of the garment 1 apart. In the illustrated position of the slide 24, the guide 42a, 42b directs the traction means 40a, 40b respectively upwards. When the slider 24 of the zipper 23 is closed on the back, the guides 42a, 42b can direct the pulling means 40a, 40b down to the branch 29. The traction means 40a,

20 40b are not fixed to the slider 24 of the zipper 23 on the back, but can go through it. The traction means 40a, 40b pass from the slider 24 of the zipper 23 on the back to the side of the garment 1 opposite to the associated bottle 45a, 45b. The traction means 40a, 40b thus intersect on the slider 24 of the zipper 23 on the back. From the slider 24 of the zipper 23 on the back run the traction means 40a, 40b

25 each on its new side to one of the slide 24 of the zippers 23 in the leg sections. 3

 The traction means 40 a, 40 b are attached to the sliders 24 of the zippers 23 in the leg sections 3.

The bottles 44a, 44b are connected to a draw point 41a and 41b, respectively, for transmitting a pulling force Z to the 30 bottles 44a and 44b, respectively. At the train 41 a and 41 b may be a person to

 Close the zippers 23 exercise the tensile force Z.

Figures 14 and 15 each show an end 232 of a zipper 23 whose slider 24 is prevented from free movement with respect to the zipper 23 with a blocking device 230 designed as a push button 234. Figures 14 and 15 have partially the same features as Figure 12, which will not be described again separately.

In Figure 14, a non-detachable portion 236 of a push button 234 is shown attached to a strap 231 of the zipper 23. The non-detachable part 236 is thus at a distance from the

 Teeth 233 of the zipper 23 arranged that the slider 24, the non-removable part

236 can happen.

In Fig. 15, in addition to the non-detachable part 236 of the push button 234, the detachable part 15 235 of the print head 234 is shown. This protrudes into the path of the slider 24 along the teeth 233 of the zipper 23. When the detachable member 235 is placed on the non-removable part 234, it can thus block the movement of the slider 24.

FIGS. 16 and 17 each show an end 232 of a zipper 23, the slider 24 of which is prevented from freely moving with respect to the zipper 23 by a blocking device 230 designed as a rotary knob 237. Figures 16 and 17 have partially the same features as Figure 12, which will not be described again separately.

FIG. 16 shows the rotary knob 237 in a non-blocking position, in which the slider 24 can pass the rotary knob 237. The rotary knob 237 is rotatable about a theoretical axis 2371. This is arranged in the illustrated embodiment in the middle of a physically realized axis. Rotation friction may be present between the physically realized axle and the knob 237, so that a position of the knob 237 is maintained without significant impact on the knob 237. In this case, in the non-blocking position, a passing side 2372 of the toothing 233 of the

 0 zipper 23 facing. This protrudes in the non-blocking position of the knob 237 not in the displacement path of the slider 24 along the zipper 23 inside.

Figure 17 shows the knob 237 in a blocking position in which the slider 24, the knob

237 can not happen. This position is not the Passierseite 2732 the slider 24 faces. In FIG. 5 of the illustration, a block is here side 2374 facing the slider 24. The surface of the

Passing side 2372 has on average a smaller radius with respect to the rotation axis 2371 as compared to the blocking side 2374. This radius is smaller in the center of the passing side 2372 than at the other side Edges where it merges into the blocking page 2374. At the transition between the Passierseite 2372 and the blocking side 2374, as shown, blocking tips 2373 may be arranged. These complicate their projection, which is accompanied by an enlarged radius, an unintentional further rotation of the knob 237 from the blocking position to the non-blocking position.
