Abstract

The invention concerns a disposable individual overall ( 1 ) for protection against radioactive particles, comprising a zip closure (FG 1 ) from top to bottom and on the front in the trunk portion ( 3 ). The invention is characterized in that at least one other closure (FG 2 ) extends from top to bottom in at least one of the legs ( 31, 32 ) of the trouser part ( 3 ) and comprises two strips (BA 31 , BA 32 ) capable of being connected along another prescribed meshing line (LE 3 ), at least one junction point (S) connecting two of the strips (BA 31 , BA 32 ) beyond the other line (LE 3 ) being present between the closure (FG 1 ) and the other closure (FG 3 ) in the closed state, a breaking member (CU) being provided on at least one of the closures (FG 1 , FG 3 ) in order to allow breaking of the junction point (S) by pulling on the breaking member (CU).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A covering worksuit being disposable and individual for protection against radioactive particles, comprising a trunk part and a trouser part, which is of one piece with the trunk part and which extends down from the trunk part,
the trunk part and the trouser part having a wall, which is flexible and dustproof,
the covering worksuit comprising a first zip closure, which extends from top to bottom and on a front between a left edge and a right edge of the wall at least in the trunk part, the first zip closure having a first side attached in a dustproof manner to the left edge of the wall and a second side attached in a dustproof manner to the right edge of the wall, the first side and the second side configured to be connected together according to a first meshing line dustproof in a closed state of the first zip closure and configured to be separated from each other along the first meshing line in an open state of the first zip closure,
wherein the covering worksuit comprises at least one other closure, which extends from top to bottom between two other opposite edges of the wall in at least one of the legs of the trouser part and which comprises two strips respectively attached in a dustproof manner to the two other opposite edges of the wall, the two strips configured to be connected to each other according to at least one other meshing line dustproof in a closed state of the at least one other closure and being able to be separated from each other along the at least one other meshing line in an open state of the at least one other closure,
at least one connection point connecting together the two strips beyond the at least one other meshing line present between the first zip closure and the at least one other closure in the closed state,
at least one breaking member provided on at least one of the first zip closure, of the at least one other closure to be able to break the at least one connection point by pulling on the at least one breaking member,
the first zip closure further extending from top to bottom between the two opposite edges of the wall in the other of the legs of the trouser part,
the at least one connection point located on the first side or on the second side of the first zip closure,
the first zip closure comprising a slider configured to connect the first side and the second side together along the first meshing line by raising the slider along them and to separate the first side and the second side from each other along the first meshing line by lowering the slider along the first side and the second side,
the at least one breaking member being formed by the slider, which is configured to break the at least one connection point by lowering the slider along the at least one connection point and along the first side and the second side.

2. The covering worksuit according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one other closure is another zip closure, comprising another slider configured to connect the two strips together along the at least one other meshing line by movement of the other slider from bottom to top along the two strips and configured to separate the two strips from each other along the at least one other meshing line by movement of the other slider from top to bottom along the strips.

3. The covering worksuit according to claim 1 , wherein the two strips of the at least one other closure mesh with each other along the at least one other meshing line in the closed state of the at least one other closure,
the two strips of the at least one other closure being configured to be separated from each other along the at least one other meshing line by pulling on one and/or the other of the two strips.

4. The covering worksuit according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one connection point is located in a crotch area of the trouser part or in a lower abdomen area of the trouser part.

5. The covering worksuit according to claim 1 , wherein the trunk part ends at a top end with a dustproof collar, having a left front part and a right front part connected together by a dustproof front closure strip located beyond an upper end of the first zip closure.

6. The covering worksuit according to claim 5 , wherein a free front and side tag and a second free front and side tag are attached in front of the front closure strip.

7. The covering worksuit according to claim 1 , wherein the covering worksuit comprises stitching lines visible on a wrong side of the covering worksuit and invisible on a right side of the covering worksuit.

8. The covering worksuit according to claim 1 , wherein the covering worksuit comprises sleeves configured for passing the arms therethrough, wherein the sleeves comprise a second wall being dustproof, are connected at a top of the trunk part, a free end edge of the sleeves surrounds an end opening configured for passing at least the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger of the hand therethrough, the sleeves further comprise at least one hole configured for passing the thumb therethrough, distinct from the end opening and separated from the free end edge by an end part of the second wall.

9. The covering worksuit according to claim 1 , wherein the covering worksuit comprises a tightening elastic situated in a sheath in a waist of the covering worksuit.

10. The covering worksuit according to claim 1 , wherein the covering worksuit comprises reinforcements at knees of the trouser part.

11. The covering worksuit according to claim 1 , wherein the covering worksuit comprises at least one transparent outer wall, which is located to the right and/or the left of the first zip closure on the front in the trunk part and which forms at least one pocket with at least one other underlying wall.

12. The covering worksuit according to claim 1 , wherein the covering worksuit comprises a removable stomach pouch having a transparent outer wall, the removable stomach pouch having an upper part comprising a fourth zip closure and fasteners configured to be connected and disconnected relative to a front upper part of the trunk part.

13. A covering worksuit being disposable and individual for protection against radioactive particles, comprising a trunk part and a trouser part, which is of one piece with the trunk part and which extends down from the trunk part,
the trunk part and the trouser part having a wall, which is flexible and dustproof,
the covering worksuit comprising a first zip closure, which extends from top to bottom and on a front between a left edge and a right edge of the wall at least in the trunk part, the first zip closure having a first side attached in a dustproof manner to the left edge of the wall and a second side attached in a dustproof manner to the right edge of the wall, the first side and the second side configured to be connected together according to a first meshing line dustproof in a closed state of the first zip closure and configured to be separated from each other along the first meshing line in an open state of the first zip closure,
the covering worksuit comprising:
at least one second closure, which extends from top to bottom between two second opposite edges of the wall in one of the legs of the trouser part and which comprises two second strips respectively attached in a dustproof manner to the two second opposite edges of the wall, the two second strips being able to be connected to each other according to a second meshing line, dustproof in a closed state of the second closure, and configured to be separated from one another along the second meshing line in an open state of the second closure, and
