The disclosure and prior art relates to insulated garments and more particularly pertains to a new insulated garment for retaining body heat.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a shirt that may be worn. The shirt is comprised of a thermally insulating material to minimize heat transfer between a user and ambient air. The shirt has short sleeves such that the shirt only thermally insulates the user's torso.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
The shirt 12 has a body 20, a neckband 22 and a pair of sleeve cuffs 23. The neckband 22 defines a neck opening 24 in the shirt 12 and the user's neck 26 is extended through the neck opening 24 when the shirt 12 is worn. The neckband 22 is comprised of an elastic material to tighten around the user's neck 26. In this way the neckband 22 inhibits body heat from passing between the neckband 22 and the user's neck 26.
Each of the sleeve cuffs 23 defines an arm opening 28 in an associated one of the sleeves 16. Each of the user's arms 30 is extended through the arm opening 28 in the associated sleeves 16. Additionally, each of the sleeve cuffs 23 is comprised of an elastic material wherein to tighten around the user's arms 30. In this way the sleeve cuffs 23 inhibit body heat from passing between the sleeve cuffs 23 and the user's arms 30. In an alternative embodiment 32 as shown in
In use, the shirt 12 is selectively worn beneath other articles of clothing or independently to enhance retaining body heat. In this way the shirt 12 helps the user 14 to stay warm in cold conditions such as fall and winter. The short sleeves 16 of the shirt 12 allow the user's arms 30 to release heat thereby reducing arm perspiration. Thus, the shirt 12 allows for greater comfort for users 14 who would be too warm in a long sleeved, thermally insulating shirt.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
