Anti-Slip Slip-On Slip-Over Roof Safety Shorts

Abstract

Anti-slip slip-on slip-over roof safety shorts comprises an exterior special gripping surface and material combination for use by anyone with a need to be on steep sloped surface such as a roof to increase the sliding friction between the wearer and the steep sloped surface. The safety shorts are fastenable to slip on the body or over other conventional existing articles of clothing. Optionally, the special gripping surface can be applied to the interior surface of the roof safety shorts so that when the inside non-slip surface contacts with the existing wearer's conventional existing clothing it prevents slippage between the roof safety shorts and the wearer's conventional existing clothing. Unlike other articles of clothing with gripping material a special process, material, and techniques have been applied to slow and/or prevent the degradation of the gripping material when a 200 lb. man falls on the roof with the safety shorts.

         3 . Anti-slip slip-on slip-over roof safety shorts of  claim 1 , further comprising a means for the gripping surface material to effectuate slip resistance by additional protruding ½ inch members that can be fastened upon the anti-slip slip-on slip-over roof safety shorts and made out of today's commercial available material members such as is found on climbing boots, sports cleats, or slip-on ice shoes. 
     
     
         4 . Anti-slip slip-on slip-over roof safety shorts for traversing steep sloped surfaces comprising:
 1) an integral exterior slip resistant region of gripping surface material comprising gripping surface material that is comprised silicone rubber made out of, the said silicone rubber being accumulated and/or raised to a height of at least 3/16 th  of an inch above the garment fabric in which the anti-slip slip-on slip-over roof safety shorts are made out of, the said silicone rubber applied in any of the gripping patterns mentioned in this specification wherein each individual gripping member making up the chosen said gripping pattern are not further apart from each other than ¼ of an inch, the said gripping surface material area is applied to the garment fabric of between eighty eight and one hundred percent of the total outer surface of the said anti-slip slip-on slip-over roof safety shorts including the front, back, all around, and on the side of the legs;   2) that the said anti-slip slip-on slip-over roof safety short's garment fabric is made out of ripstop quality woven fabric that is resistant to tearing, ripping and bunching up and has reinforced threads that are interwoven at regular intervals in a crosshatch pattern with intervals being typically 5 to 8 millimeters;   3) that the said anti-slip slip-on slip-over roof safety shorts is configured to slip-on and slip-off existing clothing;   4) that the said anti-slip slip-on slip-over roof safety shorts has a cinching means to prevent the end of the leg holes from rolling and/or bunching upward after being worn over the existing clothing;   5) the said anti-slip slip-on slip-over roof safety shorts has a cinching and securing means that allows the said anti-slip slip-on slip-over roof safety shorts to be securely fastened over existing clothing;   6) the said anti-slip slip-on slip-over roof safety shorts comprising at least one interior slip resistant region to inhibit slippage between the said anti-slip slip-on slip-over roof safety shorts and the existing clothing that the said anti-slip slip-on slip-over roof safety shorts are worn over.   
     
     
         5 .
