Abstract
Abstract A ventilated insulating material formed of three spaced flexible linings; an outer and an intermediate lining defining between themselves an outer chamber allowing free air circulation and an inner chamber defined by the intermediate lining and an inner lining, the inner chamber being filled with a flexible air pervious insulating material. The outer and intermediate linings stand apart by spaced parallel tubes held against collapse by a cord of air pervious material. These tubes as well as the intermediate and outer linings have apertures for allowing ingress and egress of air.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
A ventilated insulating wearing material comprising: a. flexible outer, intermediate and inner spaced linings defining an outer empty chamber between said outer and intermediate linings to allow free air circulation, and defining an inner chamber between said intermediate lining and said inner lining; b. flexible air permeable insulating material filling said inner chamber and keeping said intermediate and inner linings apart; c. spacing means in said outer chamber to keep said outer and said intermediate linings apart, and d. communication means to allow ingress and egress of air between said outer and said inner chambers and between said inner chamber and the surrounding atmosphere.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
104 words
A ventilated insulating wearing material comprising: a. flexible outer, intermediate and inner spaced linings defining an outer empty chamber between said outer and intermediate linings to allow free air circulation, and defining an inner chamber between said intermediate lining and said inner lining; b. flexible air permeable insulating material filling said inner chamber and keeping said intermediate and inner linings apart; c. spacing means in said outer chamber to keep said outer and said intermediate linings apart, and d. communication means to allow ingress and egress of air between said outer and said inner chambers and between said inner chamber and the surrounding atmosphere.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
A ventilated material as claimed in claim 1, wherein said spacing means are formed by spaced parallel tubes and said communication means are apertures through said tubes and through said inner lining and wherein said tubes are filled with material to prevent collapse thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
A ventilated material as claimed in claim 2, wherein said tubes are formed by U-shaped folds made in said intermediate lining and projecting in said outer chamber, and screen-like material closing up said apertures and the openings of said U-shaped folds looking into said inner chamber.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
A ventilated material as claimed in claim 2, wherein said collapse preventing material in said tubes is a cord of air pervious material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A ventilated material as claimed in claim 3, wherein said collapse preventing material in said tubes is a cord of air pervious material.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
54 words
A ventilated material as claimed in claim 3, wherein said inner lining is formed with U-shaped folds projecting outwardly away from said inner chamber, said folds being formed over said apertures through said inner lining and filled with air pervious stiffening material; said tubes being further formed with apertures for movement of air therethrough.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
A ventilated material as claimed in claim 4 wherein said intermediate and said inner linings are held together by a series of spaced bands of flexible material respectively connected thereto along their edges.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
74 words
A ventilated material as claimed in claim 6, in the form of a jacket having a head cap integral therewith, said jacket having a pair of sleeves and at least one pocket formed at the front thereof, wherein said pocket is closed by a loose flap and has an inner wall formed with an opening looking into said outer chamber and wherein said inner wall opening is closed by a piece of screen material.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
58 words
A ventilated material as claimed in claim 8, wherein a screened opening is provided through said outer lining in each arm pit area of said jacket and a closure lies over said opening fixed long a portion of the edge of said opening, the remaining edge portion being unattached for the circulation of air through said screen opening.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
68 words
A ventilated material as claimed in claim 9, wherein said head cap is formed, in the ear regions, with aligned hearing openings through said three linings and through said insulating material, the openings through the outer linings being screened and covered by flaps secured to the outer lining along most of the flap contour, a part of said contour remaining unattached for allowing sounds through to the ears.
