US Patent:

52493075, Oct 5, 1993

Filed:

Aug 7, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/567618

Inventors:

Philip G. Lemoine - Metairie LA

International Classification:

A42B 300
A41D 1300

US Classification:

2 84

Abstract:

The invention relates to a beekeeper's suit which is used for protection against bee stings and insect bites. The beekeeper's suit provides for the use of a multi-layered material from which substantially the entire suit is uniformly constructed. The material includes an outside net layer, an inside net layer and an intermediate porous cellular plastic layer. The inside and outside layers provide structural integrity to the suit, while the intermediate layer provides protection against the bee stings through its thickness of approximately 0. 4-0. 6 centimeters. The intermediate layer provides about 90-95% of void space with a high degree of permeability to permit ventilation an cooling of the users skin during activity.

Abstract:

A coverall for a beekeeper, having a main body portion for covering the extremities, including a hood portion, which would comprise multi-layered fabric, including an inside layer which would make contact with the inner clothing or skin of the wearer constructed of a mostly woven net in the neighborhood of 0. 4 centimeters per opening, an outside net fabric layer also having openings in the neighborhood of 0. 4 centimeters in diameter, with a layer of polyurethane open cells foam having foam elements of approximate 10 pores per linear inch, (100 pores per square inch), of sufficient thickness approximately 0. 4-0. 6 centimeters so that a bee stinger could not penetrate through the central polyurethane foam core, yet the inside and outside woven net layers would provide structural integrity to the suit, yet allow ventilation between the skin of the wearer and the outside air. The suit is constructed from such uniform flexible multi-layered material in its entirety except for a wire mesh of the face portion.
