ABSTRACT:
A jumpsuit garment with integral drop seat flap for, for example, convenient lowering of the lower rear portion of the jumpsuit for restroom facility usage. The garment of the present invention is worn as a garment over the torso of a man, woman, or child on at least the upper and central torso, and has utility for all types of dress, including casual, formal, work and recreational environments. The garment is one piece and usually full length and has an opening in the lower back portion for correct exposure of the derriere for toilet purposes which is covered by the drop seat flap. The drop seat flap utilizes uniquely positioned and designed means and belting for securing it closed when the drop seat flap is in the raised position (FIG. 6). The drop seat flap is connected to the body of the garment at the bottom edge and lower sides usually by stitching. During normal wear when the person is engaged in activities other than toilet activities, the drop seat portion is in the raised position covering the opening in the back of the device. The drop seat is connected at the sides of the waist at two points using a belt with buttonholes positioned to engage buttons mounted on the garment therethrough and with no other attachment type connection between the bottom portion of the device and the top connections (FIG. 2). The drop seat flap in the raised position covers a part of the garment which is analogous to the tail of an ordinary shirt or blouse and is also attached thereto by a "Velcro" type connection. The "Velcro" fastening in normal use maintains the drop seat in a closed, fixed position, but the "shirt tail" back portion of the garment reaches across its entire back portion and is connected at the side seams thereof and has, as an integral part of its design, two folds removed from the two side seams of the garment. These two folds are each secured at a point two to two-and-a-half inches below the shoulder seam and extend the full length of the back "shirt tail" portion of the garment and are used to permit freer range of movements of the wearer that involve back expansion and stretching as part of the movement. At the lowest extension of the "shirt tail" portion, two free vertical slits are made in the fold to permit freer range of movements of the wearer that involve hip expansion as part of the movements of the wearer.
