Definitions

  • the present invention relates to hazardous duty garments and, more particularly, to lightweight firefighter garments which protect a wearer from extreme ambient conditions.
  • a conventional firefighting ensemble comprises a turnout coat and pant, each of which includes an outer shell, a moisture barrier located within the outer shell, a thermal liner located within the moisture barrier and an innermost face cloth layer.
  • the outer shell typically is constructed of an abrasion-, flame- and heat-resistant material such as a woven aramid material, typically NOMEX or KENLAR (both are trademarks of E. I. DuPont de Nemours & Co., Inc.) or a polybenzamidazole such a PBI (a trademark of Celanese Corp.) fiber material.
  • the moisture barrier typically includes a semipermeable membrane layer which is moisture vapor permeable but impermeable to liquid moisture, such as CROSSTECH (a trademark of W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc.).
  • the membrane layer is bonded to a substrate of flame- and heat-resistant material, such as an aramid or PBI material.
  • the thermal liner is typically positioned within the moisture barrier in order to prevent the thermal liner from soaking up liquid moisture flowing through the outer shell from the ambient.
  • the thermal liner typically comprises a relatively thick layer of aramid fiber batting or needlepunch, often quilted to a lightweight aramid face cloth.
  • the batting of the thermal barrier traps air and possesses sufficient loft to provide the necessary thermal resistance, and the face cloth protects the batting of the thermal liner from abrasion from the wearer.
  • the aforementioned components typically are arranged within the garment so that the moisture barrier layer is positioned between the thermal liner and the outer shell. This is necessary to prevent the batting material of the thermal liner from absorbing an excessive amount of liquid moisture from the ambient, which increases the overall weight of the garment and reduces breathability of the thermal liner, thereby increasing the stress imposed by the garment on the wearer, and reduces its loft and thermal resistance characteristics.
  • the laminated membrane of the moisture barrier is relatively delicate and can be damaged by heat, abrasion or puncture. Such damage results in increased exposure of the thermal liner to liquid moisture, which increases liquid moisture absorption.
  • the moisture barrier layer adds to the bulk and weight of the garment and inhibits freedom of movement of the wearer, producing a "hobbling effect," increasing the stress imposed on the wearer in situations requiring high activity, and accelerates the onset of fatigue. Furthermore, with such an ensemble some perspiration moisture vapor from the wearer is absorbed by the thermal liner. Moreover, the combination of a discrete moisture barrier and thermal liner limits breathability, especially if the thermal liner is positioned within the moisture barrier.
  • a protective garment in which the susceptibility of the thermal liner to absorption of perspiration moisture vapor and other moisture vapor is minimized; a protective garment which is relatively thin and lightweight, yet provides adequate thermal protection; a protective garment which is inherently able to withstand a temperature of 500° F. for at least five minutes without igniting, melting or dripping, making it suitable for use as a firefighting garment; and a protective garment which minimizes the restriction of movement and hobbling effect characteristic of conventional firefighting garments.
  • the present invention is a protective garment which is relatively lightweight, yet possesses relatively high resistance to liquid water absorption with relatively high moisture vapor transport characteristics when compared to conventional firefighter garments.
  • the garment of the present invention comprises an outer shell, a thermal liner positioned within the outer shell, and a face cloth layer positioned within the thermal liner — a discrete moisture barrier layer is not present or required.
  • At least the outer shell and the face cloth layer are treated with a durable, water repellant finish to reduce penetration of moisture through either of these layers to the thermal liner.
  • the thermal liner is also treated with a durable, water repellant finish to minimize liquid moisture absorption.
  • Such durable, water repellant finishes are provided by treating the components with a commercially available perfluorohydrocarbon finish such as TEFLON (a trademark of E. I. DuPont de Nemours & Co., Inc.). and/or SCOTCHGUARD (a trademark of Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Co.).
  • TEFLON a trademark of E. I. DuPont de Nemours & Co., Inc.
  • SCOTCHGUARD a trademark of Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Co.
  • a firefighting garment consists essentially of an outer shell of abrasion-, flame- and heat-resistant material selected from a group consisting of an aramid material, a blend of aramid materials, PBI material and a blend of aramid and PBI materials; a thermal liner positioned within the outer shell and including a batting, needlepunch or nonwoven aramid material, or a blend of such aramid materials, stitched to a first face cloth layer of aramid material; and a second face cloth layer of aramid material, positioned within the thermal liner; where the material of the outer shell, the thermal liner, and the second face cloth layer are all treated with a durable, water repellant finish.
  • Such a firefighting garment does not require a discrete moisture barrier layer, yet possesses the necessary thermal protection ratings for use as a firefighting garment.
  • the firefighting garment is relatively thin and lightweight, thereby minimizing the bulk and reducing the hobbling effect of such a garment.
  • the elimination of a discrete moisture barrier reduces the material costs of the garment.
  • the design of the thermal liner substantially reduces the amount of liquid moisture it absorbs, thereby maintaining the insulative properties of the thermal liner and maintaining desirable lightweight properties for
  • Another advantage of such a design is that the transport of moisture vapor through the garment is enhanced.
  • a discrete moisture barrier layer is provided, but is positioned between the treated thermal barrier and the inner face cloth.
  • a firefighter garment in a second alternate embodiment, includes an outer shell, a moisture barrier positioned inside and adjacent to the outer shell, a thermal liner positioned inside of the moisture barrier and an inner face cloth.
  • the thermal liner is treated to have a moisture repellant finish as with the other embodiments.
  • the thermal liner of this embodiment thus will absorb only a minimal amount of perspiration moisture from the wearer, from a breach in the moisture barrier or from openings in the neck and sleeve, and generally will be shielded from ambient moisture by the conventional moisture barrier.
  • the thermal liner typically includes knitted wristlets and a knitted collar attached thereto. Therefore, in one aspect of the present invention, the wristlets and collar of the garment, whether attached to the thermal liner or not, are also treated with a durable, water repellant finish to minimize liquid moisture absorption or penetration. This is important especially in cold environments where wristlets which have absorbed water during use may freeze. Wristlets of the present invention will not absorb water appreciably and are less likely to freeze. Finally, it is yet another aspect of the present invention to provide a protective firefighting hood that has been treated with a durable, water repellant finish to minimize liquid moisture absorption therethrough.

As shown in Fig. 5, the thermal liner 28 and face cloth layer 34, in one embodiment, may be attached to each other to form an inner liner 35 that is removable from the outer shell 26.
  • the outer shell 26, thermal liner 28 and face cloth layer 34 each are treated with a durable, water-repellant finish prior to assembling these components to form the garment 10.

While all layers of the hood 48 are preferably treated with the durable, water-repellant finish, it is within the scope of the invention that only one, or less than all, of the layers be treated with the durable, water- repellant finish. Because the treatment substantially prevents the abso ⁇ tion or penetration of liquid moisture through the hood 48, the treatment also substantially prevents the penetration of blood-borne pathogens through the hood.
