Improvements in or connected with the Manufacture of Waterproof
Garments.
I, ISIDOR MANSCHESTER, of 143, Bute Road, Cardiff, in the County of
Glamorgan, Waterproof Garment Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for object the better ventilation of waterproof coats, ulsters,
and like garments.
For this purpose I provide the upper part of the inner side of the waterproof
material of the garment with a loose lining, and in order to keep a space between
the body of the wearer and the waterproof material of the garment, I insert between
the loose lining and the outer cloth a corrugated material of open texture and
for the purpose of preventing the corrugated material acting too much as a
stiffening, it is advantageously corrugated in both directions. By this arrangement
it will be obvious that spaces are left for the constant circulation of air.
In practice I also find it advantageous to make the pockets of my waterproof
garment of porous material instead of a waterproof material as has hitherto generally
been the case.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with the Manufacture of Waterproof
Garments.
I, ISIDOR MANSCHESTER, of 138, Richmond Road, Cardiff, in the County of
Glamorgan, Waterproof Garment Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention has for object the better ventilation of waterproof coats, leggings,
ulsters and like garments.
For this purpose I provide the upper part of the inner side of the waterproof
material of the garment with a loose lining, and in order to keep a space between
the body of the wearer and the waterproof material of the garment, I insert between
the loose lining and the outer cloth a corrugated material of suitable texture, and
where necessary for the purpose of preventing the corrugated material acting too
much as a stiffening, it is advantageously corrugated in both directions.
In practice I also find it advantageous to make the pockets of my waterproof
garment of porous material instead of a waterproof material as has hitherto generally
been the case.
In order to enable the invention to be fully understood I will describe the same
by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which,
Figure 1 is a side view of a coat (with a part of the material thereof removed) to
shew the application of the corrugated material thereto.
Figure 2 is a section (drawn full size) through a part of the coat provided with
the corrugated material.
a represents the loose lining with which I provide the upper part of the inner
side of the coat; 6 represents the corrugated material which I insert between the
said loose lining a and the outer cloth or material c. It will be seen by reference
[Price Bid]l

page_text: to Figure 1 that the corrugated. material 6 is shewn corrugated in both directions
which is advantageous for the purpose of preventing the corrugated acting too much
as a stiffening. The direction of the cross corrugations may, as will be obvious, be
varied to suit the garment.
By this arrangement.it will be obvious that a space is kept between the body of
the wearer of the coat and 'the waterproof material thereof; the spaces between the
loose lining a and the outer material b serving for a constant circulation of air
whereby I obtain a garment which is thoroughly ventilated at the part required.
The use of corrugated material in the manner described improves the appearance
of: the garment by acting as a padding.
Although I have described and illustrated my invention as applied to a part of a
coat it will be obvious that it can be applied to the whole garment and to other
garments than coats; in the case of leggings, for example, I find it advantageous to
line them throughout with the corrugated material leaving only a space for button
holes, the material being corrugated in one direction only.
My improvements are applicable to other than waterproof garments.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invèn-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
(1.) A waterproof garment having a loose lining, between which loose lining and
the outer cloth or material of the garment is inserted corrugated material of
suitable texture in the manner and for the purpose substantially as described.
(2.) The manufacture and use of waterproof garments substantially as herein-
before described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
