Abstract
A sealing system for sealing a garment around an appendage formed by an annular tube surrounding a passage (cuff) through which appendage is intended to protrude and a pull cord extending through said tube for a length to completely encircle said passage over more than 360°. At least one end of the pull cord passes out through a wall of the tube to provide an accessible end for adjusting the length of said cord around said passage and thereby tighten or loosening pressure of tube toward said appendage and form a seal between the tube and the appendage.
Claims13
A sealing system for sealing a garment around an appendage comprising an annular flexible tube forming part of a garment and surrounding a passage through which said appendage is intended to protrude, a pull cord extending through said tube for a length to completely encircle said passage over more than 360° from one end of said pull cord to an opposite end of said pull cord, said one end passing out of said tube through a wall of said tube to provide an accessible end for adjusting the length of said cord around said passage and thereby adjusting the tension in said cord to increase or reduce pressure of said tube toward said appendage the amount of said pressure effecting the effectiveness of a seal formed between the tube and the appendage and securing means adjacent to said opposite end to secure said cord to prevent relative movement between said cord said adjacent to said opposite end and said tube.
