Diving suit with neck and wrist seals

摘要

A diving suit is provided with neck and wrist opening seals each in the form of a right cylindrical annulus of open celled resilient foam rubber having a through passage a portion of which is cylindrical and a portion of which is frustoconical so that part of the annulus wall is of uniform thickness and part is tapered. The tapered portion overlies a conical, opening defining edge portion of the suit fabric and a band of non-stretch tape fixes the tapered edge portion of the annulus to the fabric while allowing the thicker wall portion to expand and contract as a head or hand is pushed through. The outer cylindrical surface beyond the tape is adapted to cooperate with a mask hood or glove cuff.
