Buoyant swimsuit

Abstract

The present invention relates to a buoyant swimsuit, and more specifically to a swimsuit, for which the top and bottom portions form a single piece, provided with: a zipper on the front top portion of the swimsuit, moving vertically up and down, so as to facilitate putting on the swimsuit; and buoyancy-generating buoyant member on either side of the zipper on the front top portion of the swimsuit, a part of the back top portion of the swimsuit, and parts of the leg portions on front and back bottom portions of the swimsuit, wherein the buoyant member is formed by sewing a first fabric and a second fabric together, foam being interposed therebetween, and the first fabric and second fabric are made of neoprene. The swimsuit according to the present invention is highly buoyant but does not hinder the movement of a swimmer and is easy to put on, and thus has the benefit of facilitating beginning swimmers or young children in learning to swim. Furthermore, the present invention has the benefit of preventing drowning accidents of poor swimmers such as young children or the disabled.

         3 . The swimsuit of  claim 1 , wherein the buoyant member ( 30 ) can be manufactured in such a way that a foam ( 31 ) is disposed between a first raw cloth ( 1 ) and a second raw cloth ( 2 ), and the first raw cloth ( 1 ) and the second raw cloth ( 2 ) are sewed to each other. 
     
     
         4 . The swimsuit of  claim 3 , wherein the first raw cloth ( 1 ) and the second raw cloth ( 2 ) are made of Neoprene. 
     
     
         5 . The swimsuit of  claim 1 , wherein a zipper ( 11 ) configured to move in the upward and downward, namely, vertical direction is disposed at the front side of the top ( 10 ) of the swimsuit for the sake of an easier wearing of the swimsuit, and the buoyant member ( 30 ) configured to produce the buoyancy is disposed at both sides of the zipper ( 11 ) at the front side of the top ( 10 ) of the swimsuit. 
     
     
         6 . The swimsuit of  claim 3 , wherein the first raw cloth ( 1 ) allows to form the whole portions of the top ( 10 ) of the swimsuit and the bottom ( 20 ) of the swimsuit, and the buoyant member ( 30 ) is configured in such a way that the second raw cloth ( 2 ) is disposed only at a portion wherein the foam ( 31 ) is incorporated. 
     
     
         7 . The swimsuit of  claim 3 , wherein the first raw cloth ( 1 ) allows to form the whole portions of the top ( 10 ) of the swimsuit and the bottom ( 20 ) of the swimsuit, and the second raw cloth ( 2 ) allows to form the whole portions of the top ( 10 ) of the swimsuit and the bottom ( 20 ) of the swimsuit, whereby the swimsuit can be formed, in whole, of a two-ply Neoprene. 
     
     
         8 . The swimsuit of  claim 3 , wherein the foam ( 31 ) of the buoyant member ( 30 ) is made of any of a polyethylene foam or an ethylene vinyl acetate foam, wherein the thickness thereof is 10˜100 mm. 
     
     
         9 . The swimsuit of  claim 3 , wherein the foam ( 31 ) disposed at the back side of the top ( 10 ) of the swimsuit has a buoyancy smaller than that of the foam ( 31 ) disposed at the front side of the top ( 10 ) of the swimsuit, and the foam ( 31 ) disposed at the back side of the bottom ( 20 ) of the swimsuit has a buoyancy smaller than that of the foam ( 31 ) disposed at the front side of the bottom ( 20 ) of the swimsuit. 
     
     
         10 . The swimsuit of  claim 2 , wherein the buoyant member ( 30 ) can be manufactured in such a way that a foam ( 31 ) is disposed between a first raw cloth ( 1 ) and a second raw cloth ( 2 ), and the first raw cloth ( 1 ) and the second raw cloth ( 2 ) are sewed to each other.
