Abstract
The suit according to the invention comprises, as well as a textile lining and an oversuit, an active part lying between them. This is at least partly made from a layer ( ) on the body side and a layer ( ) away from it, both of a fluid-tight, low stretch textile material, which are connected to each other at connection positions ( ) by gluing, welding or sewing and thereby create hollow spaces ( ), which are filled with fluid through valves ( ). Between regions, which comprise the layers ( ), for instance the upper part ( ) and the front part ( ), joining parts can be arranged, which transmit tensile forces only. This builds up a compensating pressure proportional to the acceleration working in the momentary and local direction on the parts of the body lying beneath and thus takes the load off the organism of the pilot arising from the effects of such accelerations. The suit is closed by zip fasteners ( ), matched to the current bodily conditions of the wearer by velcro fasteners and tensioned by zip fasteners or a hydraulic tensioning device.
