ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a transparent protective swimsuit covering garment that will be worn by an individual entering a common swimming or bathing area over their swimsuit to prevent exposure to germs existing in water.
Several references show various protective garments. U.S. Pat. No. 2,634,421 to Ceraulo discloses an outer garment to protect a bathing suit from getting wet to allow the user to travel in a dry condition after swimming. U.S. Pat. No. 4,455,683 to Moretti discloses an air tight hooded garment to cover the body of the user. U.S. Pat. No. 5,996,120 to Balit discloses a combination garment capable of being worn as an outer covering or shell for a swimsuit. U.S. Pat. No. 5,060,315 to Ewings discloses a one-piece garment capable of being worn over panty hose or underpants. U.S. Pat. No. 5,282,277 to Onozawa discloses an athletic garment constructed of neoprene to cover the body.
While these units may be suitable for the particular purpose employed, or for general use, they would not be as suitable for the purposes of the present invention as disclosed hereafter.
