Abstract A workman's break-away safety apron has a body portion provided at four intersecting edges with segments of fabric pressure fastening material. A neck band has segments of fabric pressure fastening material at the opposed ends thereof. A waist band is formed in two pieces one of which has a segment of fabric pressure fastening material at one end and a plurality of button holes at the other end and the other piece has a segment of fabric pressure fastening material at one end and at least one button at the other end. The segments of pressure fastening material on the neck band and waist band elements are cooperable with the segments on the body portion and thus detachably secure the neck and waist bands to the body of the apron.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
287 words
A workman's break-away safety apron comprising in combination: an elongated body including a lower section defined by a lower laterally-extending edge, a pair of longitudinally extending side edges and laterally-extending medial edges extending inwardly from said side edges, and an upper section having a central area constituting a continuation of the lower section and the periphery defined by side edges which extend upwardly from the inner termini of said medial edges and a laterally-extending upper edge connecting the tops of the side edges of said upper section; a segment of non-metallic pressure fastening material secured to said lower section at each of the junctures of the medial edges and the side edges thereof; a segment of non-metallic pressure fastening material secured to said upper section at each of the junctures of said upper edge and the side edges thereof; a neck band formed of a strip of flexible material having a segment of non-metallic pressure fastening material secured to each end thereof and detachably connected to the corresponding segments of non-metallic pressure fastening material on the said upper section of the apron body; and a two-piece waist band including a first strip of flexible material having a segment of non-metallic pressure fastening material at one end thereof and a plurality of first nonpressure fastening means on the other end thereof and a second strip of flexible material having a segment of non-metallic pressure fastening material at one end thereof and at least one second non-pressure fastening means cooperable with said first fastening means on the other end of said first strip, said first and second strips being detachably connected to the corresponding segments of non-metallic pressure fastening material on the said lower section of the apron body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
287 words
A workman's break-away safety apron comprising in combination: an elongated body including a lower section defined by a lower laterally-extending edge, a pair of longitudinally extending side edges and laterally-extending medial edges extending inwardly from said side edges, and an upper section having a central area constituting a continuation of the lower section and the periphery defined by side edges which extend upwardly from the inner termini of said medial edges and a laterally-extending upper edge connecting the tops of the side edges of said upper section; a segment of non-metallic pressure fastening material secured to said lower section at each of the junctures of the medial edges and the side edges thereof; a segment of non-metallic pressure fastening material secured to said upper section at each of the junctures of said upper edge and the side edges thereof; a neck band formed of a strip of flexible material having a segment of non-metallic pressure fastening material secured to each end thereof and detachably connected to the corresponding segments of non-metallic pressure fastening material on the said upper section of the apron body; and a two-piece waist band including a first strip of flexible material having a segment of non-metallic pressure fastening material at one end thereof and a plurality of first nonpressure fastening means on the other end thereof and a second strip of flexible material having a segment of non-metallic pressure fastening material at one end thereof and at least one second non-pressure fastening means cooperable with said first fastening means on the other end of said first strip, said first and second strips being detachably connected to the corresponding segments of non-metallic pressure fastening material on the said lower section of the apron body.
