41 | Full-body stress transfer suit | US19015 | 1993-02-18 | US5659895A | 1997-08-26 | Thomas J. Ford, Jr. |
A stress transfer garment for an individual in a low gravity environment to minimize bone deconditioning and the migration of fluids to the torso. The garment includes members made of elastic or resilient material which cover the torso and multiple limbs. The members extend down the long axis of the body, with each member interlaced with the member on each side at least once to form a mesh-like structure. The garment is fitted for an individual in a first position, preferably the fetal position. Any movement by a part of the body covered by the members from the fetal position, stretches those members. The stretched members deliver a physical strain along the long axis of the body to the underlying bone structure. The garment may also be designed to deliver a physical strain across the short axis of the body which is greater across the torso than the limbs and is sufficient to prevent body fluids from the limbs from migrating to the torso. The garment may be formed as a one-piece or two-piece garment. | ||||||

43 | Pressure sealing bearing assembly for use in environmental control suits and environmental suits containing such bearing assemblies | US627455 | 1984-07-03 | US4596054A | 1986-06-24 | Robert R. MacKendrick; Dennis L. Finch |
A bearing assembly for sealing the relatively rotatable adjoining portions of a pressurized environmental control suit for human use utilizes a pair of rotatable bearing members with an annular sealing member having a body portion and a lip portion extending from the body portion at an angle thereto. The lip portion includes an outer end portion of relatively thin cross section and a thicker portion disposed adjacent the body portion. The relatively thin outer end portion deflects in contact with the opposed surface and extends therealong to provide a seal therewith with relatively little friction. Upon conditions for extreme pressure differential, the thicker portion of the lip will be deflected to increase the amount of lip length bearing upon the surface of the opposed member to increase the sealing action. | ||||||
44 | Torso sizing ring construction for hard space suit | US684193 | 1984-12-20 | US4593415A | 1986-06-10 | Hubert C. Vykukal |
A hard suit for use in space or diving applications having an adjustable length torso covering that will fit a large variety of wearers. The torso covering comprises an upper section and a lower section which interconnect so that the covering will fit wearers with short torsos. One or more sizing rings may be inserted between the upper and lower sections to accommodate larger torso sizes as required. Since access of the astronaut to the torso covering is preferably through an opening in the back of the upper section (which is closed off by the backpack), the rings slant upward-forward from the lower edge of the opening. The lower edge of the upper covering section has a coupler which slants upward-forward from the lower edge of the back opening. The lower torso section has a similarly slanted coupler which may interfit with the upper section coupler to accommodate the smallest torso size. One or more sizing rings may be inserted between the coupler sections of the upper and lower torso sections to accommodate larger torsos. Each ring has an upper coupler which may interfit with the upper section coupler and a lower coupler which may interfit with the lower section coupler. | ||||||
