Air cooling garment for medical personnel
First Claim
1. A simple, minimum weight and thickness cooling garment for medical personnel working at medical tasks in warm environments, comprising:
- an outer, air impermeable layer of material of minimal thickness,an inner layer of air permeable material of minimal thickness,means securing said layers directly together with no intermediate material or structures located between said layers to maintain the minimum weight and thickness characteristics of the garment, but in a manner that allows air to flow between said layers and through the inner air permeable layer to a body of an individual wearing the garment and freely exit from between the wearer and the garment without use of control exit ports in the garment, andmeans for connecting the garment to a source of airflow containing a minimum amount of moisture for direction between said layers and to the body of the individual wearing the garment.

Abstract
A simple, lightweight cooling garment is provided for medical personnel working at intense medical tasks in warm environments (e.g. lead aprons and sterile gowns). The garment comprises an outer, air impermeable layer of material of minimal weight and bulk and an inner layer of air permeable material of minimal weight and bulk. The layers are secured together in a manner that allows air to flow between such layers and through the inner air, permeable layer to the body of the individual wearing the garment. In addition, means is provided for connecting the garment to a source of air flow containing relatively dry air for direction between the layers of the garment to the body of the individual wearing the garment.
