Description

Field of technology to which the invention relates

The present invention relates to the field of light industry, namely to the production of clothing for steaming, which is used by professional steamers, steam bath attendants or bath complex workers (hereinafter referred to as steam bath attendants).

State of the art

The prior art discloses bath clothes (see patent RU 211739 dated 03.08.2021) that provide breathability and are characterized by the fact that they contain a belt with two elastic bands, in the middle of which there is a drawstring, and are made of fine-grained mesh fabric with a cell size of 2 mm to 3 mm with an inner lining and with a part for girthing the hip, which is sewn from breathable knitwear, while the part for girthing the hip has a pocket and an inner lining sewn from fine-grained mesh fabric with a cell size of 2 mm to 3 mm, and a means of fixing on the user's body in the form of a fastener.

Bath clothes under the brand "Woodson" are also known (see https://woodson.ru/), for example, a waffle robe with a placket (see https://woodson.ru/catalog/woodson_aksessuary_dlya_bani_i_sauny/khalaty_tapochki/khalat_woodson_vafelnyy_s_plankoy_r_54_56_chyernyy/?ysclid=lri193f5um506232842), bath attendant set No. 1 (see https://woodson.ru/catalog/woodson_aksessuary_dlya_bani_i_sauny/odezhda_dlya_par_mastera/komplekt_banshchika_1_woodson_chyernyy_lyen_c_tsvetnoy_polosoy_46_48/?ysclid=lri19x0tw9696346117).

The above-mentioned clothes from the first solution are made of fine-grained mesh fabric with an inner lining, and the author mentions that it is desirable to use polyester knitted thin fine-grained mesh fabric with a cell size of 2 mm to 3 mm. The second option offers clothes made of natural fabric - linen.

Both similar solutions use clothing made of natural fabrics. This is a significant drawback of the solutions, since in the steaming procedure, clothing made of natural fabrics does not allow you to stay in the steam room at high temperatures for a long time, since additional cooling of the body is not provided.

The disadvantages also include the fact that natural fabric sticks to the body and restricts movement, looks unaesthetic when wet, and also absorbs moisture and becomes heavy. You need to have several sets of natural fabrics for one working day, since the fabric dries slowly. The disadvantage of the presented analogues made of natural fabrics can also be considered a short service life, since natural fabrics such as linen and cotton must be washed at a temperature of up to 30-40 degrees, but using higher temperatures leads to wear of natural fibers, and the products become rough and can shrink. Also, without preliminary soaking, a temperature of 30-40 degrees for washing is often not enough to remove the smell of ammonia from the product, which is released by the bather when working in the steam room during the day, as well as the smell of dampness.

All of the above are disadvantages of existing solutions.

Disclosure of the essence of the invention

The present invention is a vaping garment that is used by professional vapers.

This invention is aimed at solving the technical problem associated with the rapid increase in the body temperature of the bather due to heating of the air in the steam room.

The technical result of the invention is to increase the time it takes to maintain a comfortable body temperature for the bather when working at high temperatures during steaming, while ensuring:

- increasing the useful time during the vaping procedure by reducing the cooling time;

- ergonomics of clothing;

- aesthetic appearance;

- compliance with ethical standards.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the steam bath clothing for a steam bath attendant is characterized by being made of neoprene, presented either in the form of a suit with a hooded jacket, integrally connected to the jacket, with sleeves and cuffs and a kilt skirt, having panties-underpants, integrally connected to the kilt skirt, or in the form of a suit with a sleeveless hooded jacket and a kilt skirt, having panties-underpants, integrally connected to the kilt skirt, or in the form of a vest; on the back of the steam bath clothing on the back there are honeycomb-shaped pockets, empty inside, intended for filling with a cooling substance.

Detailed description

Bath clothes may differ in purpose. They may be intended for steaming, for resting after steaming, or they may be warming after a cooling dousing or bathing. Clothes for the steaming procedure must meet certain requirements so that the steaming procedure is safe and comfortable for both the bather and the client.

The work of a bath attendant involves carrying out the procedure of steaming clients in a steam bath and working with the stove (adding steam during the steaming process). The temperature in the steam bath during the procedure is on average 90-100 degrees. The steaming procedure lasting 10-20 minutes without additional protection of the body from overheating forces the bath attendant to leave the steam room 2-3 times for additional cooling with cold water.

Currently, professional bathers use thermal underwear or various wetsuits for water sports. Thermal underwear does not provide sufficient thermal insulation, and a wetsuit is uncomfortable to wear due to its one-piece construction and tight fit to the body, so the bather has to wear the top of the wetsuit half-lowered between bathing procedures. Both options look unaesthetic and cause discomfort during the day, moreover, they oblige the bather to have additional clothing items - shorts, a kilt, a hat.

Real clothes for steaming include all the elements of the clothes of a steamer, while taking into account the peculiarities of work at high temperatures and allowing to maintain a comfortable temperature regime of the steamer's body and comfort in wearing due to the selected material and ergonomics of the product.

Real vaping clothing can come in two varieties, but is not limited to them.

The first version of clothing for vaping is made in the form of a suit with an upper and lower part.

The top of the suit is available in two versions, but is not limited to them.

1. The top part is a sleeveless sweater. This option can be used when working at medium temperatures. The absence of sleeves helps the bather determine the room temperature with his "hands".

2. The top part is a long-sleeved sweater with cuffs. This option can be used when working at high temperatures and during long steaming procedures. The cuffs prevent hot air and steam from getting inside the sweater when making active hand movements when working with brooms, working with a stove and steam.

All versions of the jacket have a hood. Due to the correct cut, the hood fits tightly to the head and does not allow steam to penetrate inside. A tight fit eliminates the need for additional ties and fittings, which, when working at high speed, can cause additional inconvenience and damage. Also, due to the correct cut, the hood does not restrict head movement and does not block the view during procedures. The hood replaces a bathhouse hat for the bather, which is aimed at protecting the head and neck-collar zone from high temperatures.

The lower part of the suit is presented in the form of a kilt skirt with shorts-underpants. Shorts-underpants are made of lycra with elastane. The kilt skirt is made to the level just below the knees, completely covering them. This length helps protect the knees from overheating. The presence of shorts-underpants relieves the bather from the need for additional clothing (underpants, swimming trunks), which solves the issue of multi-layering, which leads to an increase in the overall density and weight of the product when wet. Shorts-underpants do not rub, do not restrict movement, do not retain water and dry quickly.

The use of a kilt skirt also has an additional function. In regions and countries with Muslim culture, where, according to Muslim traditions, the knees of the bather must be covered, real bathing clothes can be used.

The second version of clothes for vaping is presented in the form of a vest, which is put on over the usual uniform of the vaper. The vest also repeats all the features of clothes for vaping, listed above: it is made of neoprene, has pockets on the back, located in the form of honeycombs.

In one of the versions of the vaping outfit, gloves and socks may be included with the sweater and kilt skirt.

To achieve the technical result, the vaping clothing is made of neoprene.

Neoprene is a type of synthetic rubber, chloroprene rubber. Neoprene is considered the best material for insulation, so it is often used to make clothing for water sports. The features of this material have also found relevance in the manufacture of clothing for vapers, since neoprene has optimal properties for vaping clothing:

- is elastic and stretchable, which allows the bather to move freely and perform the actions necessary for working with the brooms without restricting the movement of the hands, and also ensures high wear resistance;

- has high thermal insulation properties, as a result of which it is resistant to various temperatures, as it can be used at temperatures from - 55 degrees to + 90 degrees: at high temperatures it prevents the body from overheating, at low temperatures - hypothermia;

- is resistant to mechanical and chemical influences and damage, which provides protection for the skin from cuts and abrasions that may occur when working with a broom;

- is fire-resistant, which eliminates possible fires when working with high temperatures, when working with a furnace and steam;

- is moisture-resistant, which ensures resistance to the formation of fungi and bacteria, maintains hygiene during continuous operation in humid and high-temperature conditions, does not absorb a large amount of water, which leads to rapid drying;

- is environmentally friendly and safe for the skin.

Neoprene is a durable and easy-to-use material, which is beneficial for frequent use as workwear. Neoprene has high strength, low creasing, is resistant to abrasion and damage. It does not require frequent washing and ironing.

In real vaping clothes, neoprene of different densities is used. The density value can vary depending on the vaping temperature: at high temperatures, a higher density is used, at low temperatures, a lower density. The most optimal density of neoprene for vaping clothes is 1-2 mm.

The task of increasing the time it takes to maintain a comfortable body temperature for the bather when working at high temperatures during steaming is also solved by using a clothing element in the form of pockets.

Special pockets, evenly spaced on the back of the sweatshirt in the form of honeycombs, are also made of neoprene and are waterproof. To regulate body temperature in real steaming clothes, the pockets are filled with either cold water, snow or ice (hereinafter referred to as a cooling substance). The presence of pockets filled with a cooling substance creates a cooling layer between the body of the bather and the fabric of the suit, which allows the bather to maintain a comfortable body temperature for a long time, avoiding overheating, and thereby reducing the number of exits from the steam room for cooling. The degree and time of cooling depends on the filling of the pockets - from cold water and snow to ice. The pockets can be filled by the bather with a cooling substance both before the start of the steaming procedure and during the procedure. Filling the pockets can occur as a result of pouring water with a ladle or a reel, manually, or after bathing in water.

The arrangement of the pockets on the back of the sweater in the form of a honeycomb allows for an even distribution of the weight of the cooling substance and avoids sagging of the fabric in one place. The pockets are located along the back of the product. The execution of the pockets in the form of a honeycomb provides additional aesthetics to the suit.

All the above-mentioned features of clothing for vaping provide the technical result of the present invention and represent its essence.

Example of implementation of the invention

An example of the invention is shown in Fig. 8-9 ("Paristokrat" - trademark No. 940764). The clothes for steaming are represented by a suit made of neoprene. The upper part of the suit is made in the form of a jacket with sleeves and cuffs. On the back side of the jacket along the back of the product there are evenly spaced pockets in the form of honeycombs, empty inside, intended for filling with cold water. The jacket has a hood, integrally connected to the jacket. The lower part of the suit is made in the form of a kilt skirt, having panties-underpants, integrally connected to the kilt skirt. The clothes for steaming are used in a steam room at a high temperature from 90 to 100 degrees. The pockets are filled with cold water when poured from a reel as the suit heats up. With an increase in temperature and duration of the steaming procedure, it is possible to fill the pockets with snow or ice.

Bathers who use real clothes for steaming note a reduction in the number of times they leave the steam room to cool down their bodies during the procedure by half.
