Protective one-piece suit with crotch gusset

Abstract

A one-piece protective suit includes first and second leg portions respectively comprising first and second inseams. A gusset is positioned at a crotch portion of the one-piece protective suit between the first and second leg portions. The gusset includes a front gusset seam and a back gusset seam connected at two opposite lateral points in the crotch portion. The ventral seam connects to the front gusset seam at a ventral point of the crotch portion and the dorsal seam connects to the back gusset seam at a dorsal point of the crotch portion. The gusset has a diamond shape with the ventral point and the dorsal point at vertices thereof.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A one-piece protective suit comprising:
 a first leg portion comprising a first inseam along the first leg portion;   a second leg portion comprising a second inseam along the second leg portion;   a torso portion having a ventral side and a dorsal side, the ventral side comprising a ventral seam and the dorsal side comprising a dorsal seam;   a first arm portion and a second arm portion; and   a gusset positioned at a crotch portion of the one-piece protective suit between the first leg portion and the second leg portion, the gusset comprising a front gusset seam and a back gusset seam connected at two opposite lateral points in the crotch portion, wherein the ventral seam connects to the front gusset seam at a ventral point of the crotch portion and the dorsal seam connects to the back gusset seam at a dorsal point of the crotch portion, and wherein the two opposite lateral points, the dorsal point and the ventral point are spaced apart from each other, the gusset having a rhomboid shape.   
     
     
         2 . The one-piece suit according to  claim 1 , wherein the gusset has a substantially diamond shape. 
     
     
         3 . The one-piece suit according to  claim 1 , wherein a first ratio of a first length between the two lateral points to a second length between the dorsal point and the ventral point is of at least 3:1. 
     
     
         4 . The one-piece suit according to  claim 2 , wherein a first ratio of a first length between the two lateral points to a second length between the dorsal point and the ventral point is of at least 3:1. 
     
     
         5 . The one-piece suit according to  claim 3 , wherein the first ratio is of at least 3.3:1 
     
     
         6 . The one-piece suit according to  claim 4 , wherein the first ratio is of at least 3.3:1 
     
     
         7 . The one-piece suit according to  claim 3 , wherein a second ratio of the first length to a third length between one of the two lateral points and the ventral or the dorsal point is of at least 1.5:1. 
     
     
         8 . The one-piece suit according to  claim 5 , wherein a second ratio of the first length to a third length between one of the two lateral points and the ventral or the dorsal point is of at least 1.5:1. 
     
     
         9 . The one-piece suit according to  claim 7 , wherein the second ratio is of at least 1.6:1. 
     
     
         10 . The one-piece suit according to  claim 7 , wherein a third ratio of the third length to the second length is of at least 1.6:1. 
     
     
         11 . The one-piece suit according to  claim 10 , wherein the third ratio is of at least 1.7:1. 
     
     
         12 . The one-piece suit according to  claim 8 , wherein a third ratio of the third length to the second length is of at least 1.6:1. 
     
     
         13 . The one-piece suit according to  claim 12 , wherein the third ratio is of at least 1.7:1. 
     
     
         14 . The one-piece suit according to claim  18 , wherein the rhomboid shape is a diamond shape. 
     
     
         15 . The one-piece suit according to  claim 1 , further comprising means to open and close the ventral side or the dorsal side of the torso portion. 
     
     
         16 . The one-piece suit according to  claim 15 , wherein the means comprises a zipper on the ventral side or the dorsal side of the torso portion. 
     
     
         17 . A one-piece protective suit comprising:
 first and second leg portions respectively comprising first and second inseams; and   a gusset positioned at a crotch portion of the one-piece protective suit between the first and second leg portions, the gusset comprising a front gusset seam and a back gusset seam connected at two opposite lateral points in the crotch portion, wherein the ventral seam connects to the front gusset seam at a ventral point of the crotch portion and the dorsal seam connects to the back gusset seam at a dorsal point of the crotch portion, the gusset having a diamond shape having the ventral point and the dorsal point at vertices thereof.
