Protective suit

Abstract

A protective suit with a suit part with suit material ( 4 ) and provided with a foot part ( 2 ). The foot part is formed of an elastomer with ergonomic fit and is connected to the suit material ( 4 ) in one piece. The foot part ( 2 ) may be manufactured according to a dipping method. The foot part may be formed of a chemical-resistant fluoroelastomer such as Viton, Viton/butyl, chloroprene and butyl materials. The one-piece connection between the foot part ( 2 ) and the suit material ( 4 ) may be prepared by sewing, welding or by a clamped connection. A bonding agent may be provided for connecting the foot part ( 2 ) to the suit material ( 4 ).

       4 . A protective suit in accordance with  claim 3 , wherein the chemical-resistant fluoroelastomer is one or more of Viton, Viton/butyl, chloroprene and butyl.  
   
   
       5 . A protective suit in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein a one-piece connection between said foot part and said suit material is prepared by sewing, welding or by a clamped connection.  
   
   
       6 . A protective suit in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein a bonding agent is provided for connecting said foot part to said suit material.  
   
   
       7 . A protective suit comprising: 
 a suit part with an upper body portion and a lower body portion having legs, said suit part being formed of a protective suit material; and    a foot part formed of an elastomer with ergonomic fit contours, said foot part being connected to the suit material at the legs along a connection region to form an annular fluid tight connection at each leg.    
   
   
       8 . A protective suit in accordance with  claim 7 , wherein said foot part is manufactured according to a dipping method to form a dipped structure defining said elastomer.  
   
   
       9 . A protective suit in accordance with  claim 7 , wherein said foot part consists of a chemical-resistant fluoroelastomer.  
   
   
       10 . A protective suit in accordance with  claim 7 , wherein said foot part is formed of one or more of Viton, Viton/butyl, chloroprene and butyl.  
   
   
       11 . A protective suit in accordance with  claim 7 , wherein each annular fluid tight connection between said foot part and a respective said leg is prepared by sewing, welding or by a clamped connection.  
   
   
       12 . A protective suit in accordance with  claim 7 , wherein each annular fluid tight connection between said foot part and a respective said leg is provided with a bonding agent provided for connecting said foot part to said suit material.  
   
   
       13 . A method of providing a protective suit comprising: 
 providing a suit part with an upper body portion and a lower body portion having legs, said suit part being formed of a protective suit material; and    forming a foot part of an elastomer with ergonomic fit contours for the user;    connecting the foot part to the suit material at the legs along a connection region to form an annular fluid tight connection at each leg.    
   
   
       14 . A method in accordance with  claim 13 , wherein said foot part is manufactured according to a dipping method to form a dipped structure defining said elastomer.  
   
   
       15 . A method in accordance with  claim 13 , wherein said foot part consists of a chemical-resistant fluoroelastomer.  
   
   
       16 . A method in accordance with  claim 13 , wherein said foot part is formed of one or more of Viton, Viton/butyl, chloroprene and butyl.  
   
   
       17 . A method in accordance with  claim 13 , wherein each annular fluid tight connection between said foot part and a respective said leg is prepared by sewing, welding or by a clamped connection.  
   
   
       18 . A method in accordance with  claim 13 , wherein each annular fluid tight connection between said foot part and a respective said leg is provided with a bonding agent provided for connecting said foot part to said suit material.
