Definitions

  • This application relates to the art of apparel and, more particularly, to a modular sleeve system.
  • a sleeveless article When donning apparel, such as body armor, a uniform, or sporting gear, it is common for a sleeveless article to be worn, such as for example a bulletproof vest, a plate carrier, a safety vest, a fishing wader or vest, a poncho, or the like. While such a vest may at least partially cover the user's torso, it leaves the arms fully exposed, not only to the elements, but also to potential damage or injury in some circumstances of use. In some situations, added arm covering is desired, but in others, it is not necessary. Yet, such optional arm coverings are not known to be available for current arrangements of vests.
  • Optional arm coverings could also be desired in other situations besides when wearing a vest.
  • a user of a backpack may desire to protect their arms in a similar manner as when wearing a vest, such as when hiking on a hot day to keep off the sunburn, mosquitos or other pests, and abrasions, without having to put on a jacket.
  • Any such arm covering could also provide for additional storage options in addition to those afforded by the pack, and additionally could provide easier access to such stored items.
  • a modular sleeve system in one embodiment, includes a sleeve including a panel, a connector, and a strap.
  • the panel forms a hollow body having a first end and an opposite second end, the hollow body defines a first opening at the first end and a second opening at the second end, the first opening has a shoulder portion and an underarm portion.
  • the connector is coupled to the panel.
  • the strap is coupled to the panel and adapted to be received by the connector.
  • a modular sleeve system in another embodiment, includes a first sleeve and a second sleeve spaced apart from the first sleeve.
  • Each of the first sleeve and the second sleeve includes a panel and a strap.
  • the panel forms a hollow body having a first end and an opposite second end, the hollow body defines a first opening at the first end and a second opening at the second end, the first opening has a shoulder portion and an underarm portion positioned closer to the second opening than the shoulder portion.
  • the strap is coupled to the panel.
  • At least one of the first sleeve and the second sleeve includes a connector coupled to the respective panel and adapted to receive the strap of either the first sleeve or the second sleeve.
  • a modular sleeve system in yet another embodiment, includes an item of apparel including a shoulder portion that extends between a shoulder and a neck of a wearer, the shoulder portion having a thickness, and a sleeve including a panel, a connector, and a strap.
  • the panel forms a hollow body having a first end and an opposite second end, the hollow body defines a first opening at the first end and a second opening at the second end, the first opening has a shoulder portion and an underarm portion.
  • the connector is coupled to the panel.
  • the strap is coupled to the panel and adapted to be received by the connector.
  • the connector is spaced apart a distance from a position that the strap is coupled to the panel, the distance being greater than the thickness of the shoulder portion to allow the strap of the sleeve to extend around the shoulder portion and couple to the connector.
  • FIG. 1 depicts a rear perspective view of a modular sleeve system worn by a wearer, the sleeve system including a first sleeve attached to a second sleeve, according to one or more embodiments shown and described herein;
  • FIG. 2 depicts a rear perspective view of the modular sleeve system of FIG. 1 with the first sleeve detached from the second sleeve, according to one or more embodiments shown and described herein;

  • FIG. 6 depicts a front perspective view of the modular sleeve system of FIG. 1 with the first sleeve and the second sleeve each including a second strap for connecting the first sleeve and the second sleeve around a front of the wearer, according to one or more embodiments shown and described herein;
  • FIG. 7 depicts a partial front perspective view of one of the sleeves of the modular sleeve system of FIG. 1 including a cinch around an opening to adjust the size of the opening, according to one or more embodiments shown and described herein;
  • FIG. 8 depicts a front perspective view of the modular sleeve system of FIG. 1 including a removable liner for each sleeve, according to one or more embodiments shown and described herein;

  • the extensions 12 c , 14 c may be tapered and allow for a degree of flexibility in terms of the length of the user's arms and the respective coverage afforded, and may also include a loop 12 d for connecting with a connector 22 a as shown in the enlargement associated with FIG. 1 .
  • the sleeves 12 , 14 may be adapted to interconnect with each other. This may be achieved by providing each sleeve 12 , 14 with a connector assembly 23 in the form of the elongated strap 20 a , 20 b and the associated connector, or buckle, 22 a , 22 b connected to the extension 12 c , 14 c at the wider end 12 a , 12 b overlying the user's shoulders. While the depicted connector 22 a , 22 b is a tri-glide buckle, it is contemplated and possible that the connector 22 a , 22 b may be any connector for attaching to the strap 20 a , 20 b , such as, for example, buttons, buckles, or the like.

  • the passage of the strap 20 a through the connector 22 a thus forms a loop around the shoulder portion P of the vest V. This serves to removably attach and secure the sleeves 12 , 14 to the vest V, and thus provide optional covering for one or both of the user's arms, as desired.
  • the sleeves 12 , 14 may be provided (e.g., sold or distributed) as part of the vest V, and then selectively removed if desired by the user. While FIG. 3 depicts a vest, the apparel may be any apparel having straps or shoulder portions that permit the extension 12 c , 14 c to extend under the apparel and connect to the straps of the sleeves. Additional embodiments of the apparel will be described in further detail below, particularly, with reference to FIGS. 4 - 5 , 9 , and 11 - 12 .

  • the extension 14 c may also be provided with the high friction surface 29 , such as by providing a plurality of elastomeric (rubber) protrusions 38 . These protrusions 38 may contact the underside surface of the shoulder portion P and thus help to prevent the sleeve 14 (or 12 ) once connected from moving about when donned by the user.
  • elastomeric (rubber) protrusions 38 may contact the underside surface of the shoulder portion P and thus help to prevent the sleeve 14 (or 12 ) once connected from moving about when donned by the user.
