An Adjustable Pressure Suit Torso, which is a combination of a flexible pressure suit attached to rigid rings, in an assembly of rigid rings and brackets. The rigid rings form openings configured to receive the head, limbs and entry way of a wearer. These rigid rings are attached to one another by brackets, thereby forming an assembly of rigid rings and brackets. The flexible pressure suit is attached to the rigid rings, and otherwise constrained upon pressurization by the rigid ring and bracket assembly. The brackets can be offered in different sizes or made adjustable so as to vary the overall size of the rigid ring and bracket assembly. The flexible pressure suit can be provided in the largest possible wearer size (99percentile male) and any excess in the flexible suit when donned by a smaller wearer can be folded up while still constrained by the ring and bracket assembly.

Adjustable pressure suit torso

A method of fabricating an articulated joint for a pressure vessel, especially a pressure suit, by separately forming a structural fabric and a gas barrier layer into a series of alternating peaks and valleys. The structural fabric can be formed into the three dimensional shape by patterning or heat shrinkage. The resulting articulated joint, pressure vessels and pressurized suits are also described.
