2 Claims. l
invention relates to aprons for use by both men and women when performin various kinds of work in connection with which it becomes highly desirable for one to protect his or her clothing against various liquids or other materials encountered on the job.
Although the apron embodying the present in-- vention may be used as a protective'unit Where everaprons are worn for that purpose, it will be found especially useful to the worker who is subjected to uncomfortably high temperatures in the presence of relatively high humidity, such as usually prevails, for example, in the dishwashlng department of restaurants, hotels, and similar establishments. 3
. The general object of the present invention is to provide an apron which is simple in construction, efiicient in use, inexpensive to manufacture and capable of affording to the wearer a relatively pronounced degree of. comfort when Worn in the presence of uncomfortably high temperatures and'under conditions of abnormally high humidity.
To the above and other ends, the invention contemplates an apron which includes a main body portion, to the side margins of which are suitably attached a pair of relatively short connector straps, the free ends of which slidably accommodate a waistband strap, adapted to encircle the waist of the wearer and on which the free ends of the connector straps are adapted to be slidably adjusted to various positions so as to accommodate the main body portion of the apron to larger or smaller waistlines, as the case may be, and also provide for a relatively loose fit on the wearer in order that air may circulate between the apron and the wearer in the interest of comfort under hot and humid Working conditions.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a rear View of an apron, showing the various elements thereof in the respective positions which they would occupy when the apron is in use,
Fig. 2 is a vertical central sectional view of the apron shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken substantially on line 3-3 of Fig. 2, and showing the connector straps adjusted forwardly with respect to their cooperatively related waistband strap,
Fig. 4 is a view similar to that of Fig. 3 and il lustrating the connector straps in their rearward- 2 1y adjusted positions with reference to their as-- sociated waistband strap, and
Fig. 5 is an enlarged fragmental view illustrating the details by which the connector straps are connected to the side margins of the apron and by which the free ends of the straps are slidably connected to the waistband strap which is adapted to encircle the body of the user.
Referring to Fig. 1, wherein the apron embodyin the present invention is shown as of the bib type, although other forms of aprons may be con structed in accordance with the present invention, it will be understood thatthe main body portion of the apron to may be constructed of any suitable material such as cloth, leather, rubber, rubberized fabric, or the like.
To the side margins of the apron l0, and at points intermediate the-upper and lower portions of the same are attacheda pair of relatively short connector straps H, of any suitable material, by which the apron maybe adjusted to fit various individuals, according to their size, and by which the apron may be held in either a close fitting or loose fittin relation to the body of the wearer.
Although various forms of fastening devices may be employed for use in attaching the straps II to the side margins of the apron I0, I prefer to attach these straps by the aid of a pair of grommets I2 which are anchored in place in the customary manner. Preferably, a portion of each side margin of the apron is turned over on the apron body so as to there provide a pair of reenforcing tabs l3 through which the grommets l2 pass when bein attached to the body portion of the apron. As will be understood, the grommets l2 serve as reliable means by which the straps ll may be conveniently attached to the apron, inasmuch as such straps may be easily so tied that they are securely held in place at all times.
As shown in Fig. l, the connector straps H are equipped at their outer or free ends with a binding material, which is so looped about the ends of these straps as to provide a reenforcing binding l4 for each of the straps at their outer ends. These bindings, together with the free ends of the straps, are adapted for the reception of suitable grommets IE, similar to those hereinbefore mentioned. The grommets l5 afiord a simple means by which the connector straps ll may be adjustably attached to a waistband strap it which is preferably constructed of a material similar to that of the connector straps. The waistband strap I6 is adapted to encircle the waist of the user and to be tied at its opposite ends in a simple knot so as to maintain its proper position on the wearer when the apron is in use.
The apron herein illustrated as one embodiment of the present invention is applied to the wearer by passing the neck loop I! over the head so that it may serve to suspend the apron from the neck as in the case of any bib type of apron. After the loop I! has been placed about the wearers neck, the waistbandstrap IE is tied snugly around the wearer's body. The connector straps l I may then be adjusted rearwardly along the waistband strap 16 in order to so draw the apron about the wearer as to provide such fit as may be desired. Here it may be well to observe that the farther the connector straps II are adjusted rearwardly on the waistband strap 16, the tighter will be the fit of the apron to the wearer. On the other hand, should a loose fit be desired as between the apron and the wearer, the connector straps H are moved forwardly along the waistband strap [6 at their points of connection therewith. Here it should be noted that the further the connector straps are adjusted forwardly, the looser will be the fit of the apron to the wearer and hence the greater will be the ventilating space thus afforded between the apron and its wearer.
From the foregoing description, it will be understood that the present invention makes possible an apron which is simple in construction, effective in use regardless of whether it is fitted tightly or loosely to the body of the wearer and is of such construction that it may be so adjusted as to provide relative comfort under working conditions where high temperature and high humidity prevail on the job.
Although only one form of the invention is herein shown as described, it will be understood that various changes or modifications of the embodiment herein illustrated may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the following claims.
What is claimed is:
1. An apron comprising a main body of flexible material having side margins, a pair of connector strap receiving grommets attached to said side margins, a waistband strap adapted to encircle the body of the wearer, a pair of connector straps passing through and attached to said grommets, a pair of waistband strap receiving grommets attached to said connector straps at their free ends and adapted to slidably receive said waistband strap and to be moved rearwardly and forwardly therealong to efiect a relatively tight or a relatively loose fit of the apron to the body of the user. v
2. An apron comprising a main body of flexible material having side margins, a waistband strap adapted to encircle the body of the wearer, a pair of connector straps, one end of which being attached to said side margins of said main body, a pair of waistband strap receiving grommets attached to said connector straps at their other ends and adapted to slidably receive said waistband strap and to be moved rearwardly. and forwardly therealong to efiect a relatively tight or a relatively loose fit of the apron to the body of the user.
