Abstract:
A suit for protection against acceleration forces, the suit comprising:double walls forming hollow spaces filled with a fluid; wherein, under accelerations â‰ 1 g in a momentary and local Z-axis, a compensating outer force Corresponding to an internal force on a wearer is built up in the fluid; a double walled skin including an elastic, fluid tight material; wherein the double walled skin includes a wall outermost from the wearer and a wall nearest to the wearer; wherein said two walls arm joined together at connection positions, whereby hollow spaces occur between said walls of the double walled skin; wherein the double walled skin Includes an outer skin of low extensible textile surrounding an inner double walled skin, the inner double walled skin together with the outer skin being adapted to surround a large part of a body of the wearer; an additional layer in the form of a lining said lining lying between the double walled skin and the body of the wearer and being joined at least partly to the outer skin, whereby the hollow spaces form a continuous fluid column, the inner wall of the double skin exerts a pressure corresponding to the height of the fluid column and the effective acceleration in the momentary and local Z-axis on the body of the wearer, in the inner skin a tension force is built up by this pressure, said tension force being transmitted onto the pans of the body not covered by the double walled skin and is adapted to build up a pressure there corresponding to the tension force; wherein connection positions bordering the hollow spaces are arranged such that deformation effected by the pressure of the fluid existing in the hollow spaces causes the double walled skin to lie on the body of the wearer without folds; means for closing the outer skin means for matching the outer skin to a momentary bodily situation of the wearer; and means for tensioning the outer skin of the suit.
