Self-adjusting garment

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a self-adjusting garment for lifting or lowering a wearer. It has three functionally necessary and sufficient elements, two weight bearing straps and a connecting isosceles trapezoidal fabric. These elements provide three self-adjusting openings for the legs and torso and a loop usable in combination with a lifting mean, such as a hook. In some embodiments, the connecting isosceles trapezoidal fabric has an opening usable for discharging bodily wastes. The self-adjusting garment accommodates and adapts to wide range of body sizes and shapes automatically. When suspended, the wearer's weight automatically secures and safely restrains the wearer.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A self-adjusting garment for holding and lifting a wearer, the self-adjusting garment usable with a lifting/lowering device, the self-adjusting garment comprising:
 two weight bearing straps attached to an isosceles trapezoidal fabric;   wherein a first strap of the two weight bearing straps is attached along the non-parallel sides of the isosceles trapezoidal fabric and forms a loop comprising the unattached mid-part of the first strap, the loop proximal to the narrower parallel side of the isosceles trapezoidal fabric;   a second strap of the two weight bearing straps is attached along the long parallel side of the isosceles trapezoidal fabric, a portion of the second strap remains unattached and forms a loop off the long parallel side of the isosceles trapezoidal fabric;   the self-adjusting garment can be worn by a wearer wherein the second strap encircles the mid-body of the wearer and the wide portion of the isosceles trapezoidal fabric is positioned at the back side of the wearer while the narrow portion of the isosceles trapezoidal fabric passes in between the wearer legs and positioned in the front side of the wearer's body, a portion of the second strap's loop can then be inserted though the first strap's loop, thus forming a new loop; and,   wherein the new loop may be used for a releasable attachment with an attachment mean of a lifting/lowering device.   
     
     
         2 . The self-adjusting garment of  claim 1 , wherein, said isosceles trapezoidal fabric has one or more openings usable for discharge of bodily wastes of the wearer. 
     
     
         3 . The self-adjusting garment of  claim 2 , wherein said one or more openings is a slit along the middle, length-wise, of said isosceles trapezoidal fabric. 
     
     
         4 . The self-adjusting garment of  claim 3 , wherein said slit is resealable with a resealing mean selected from a zipper, or a hook-and-loop fastener, and wherein the resealing mean is attached to said isosceles trapezoidal fabric and surrounds said slit. 
     
     
         5 . The self-adjusting garment of  claim 2 , wherein the self-adjusting garment comprises a mean of releasably holding up the new loop when the wearer is not being lifted/lowered. 
     
     
         6 . The adjustable of  claim 5 , wherein said mean of releasably holding up the new loop is a safety pin attachable to the wearer's clothing. 
     
     
         7 . The self-adjusting garment of  claim 4 , wherein the self-adjusting garment comprises a mean of releasably holding up the new loop when the wearer is not being lifted/lowered. 
     
     
         8 . The adjustable of  claim 7 , wherein said mean of releasably holding up the new loop is a safety pin attachable to the wearer's clothing.
