Abstract
Disclosed is disposable protective coveralls having a reduced number of seams and a seamless shoulder construction. The disposable protective coveralls include a first body half and a second body half. Each body half is formed from a seamless sheet of material. The second body half is substantially a mirror image of the first body half. Each body half includes: 1) a body portion having a first and second edge and a top edge extending approximately half-way across the body portion from the second edge; 2) a sleeve portion having a top and bottom sleeve edge, a top edge, and a segment of the second edge of the body portion; and 3) a leg portion having a front and a rear leg edge. The protective coveralls' construction also includes approximately eight seams and a closure. More particularly, body halves are united into protective coveralls by: a closure joining the first edges of each body portion on each body half; a seam joining the second edges of the body portion, including the segment of the second edges in the sleeve portions, on each body half; sleeve seams joining the top sleeve edges to the bottom sleeve edges on each body half; inseams joining the front leg edges to the back leg edges on each body half; and back seams joining each top edge of a sleeve portion with the top edge of its respective body portion on each body half. Also disclosed is a method of making protective coveralls having a reduced number of seams and a seamless shoulder construction.
