Design / Motivation and Purpose

When we ride motorcycles in the rainy days, we are hard to prevent our raincoats from sliding up. This condition will make the shoes and the socks wet and become uncomfortable. In addition, the ordinary raincoats are usually too thick to carry conveniently, and you always cannot stow the raincoats well. In addition, they usually do not provide the storage bags. Even if the storage bags are provided, the bags are easy to get lost. To solve above problem, we propose this invention.


Invention characteristics and originalities

1. The hem of the raincoat can be lengthened or shortened. When lengthened, the lengthened raincoat can prevent the pants and shoes from getting wet; when shortened, the shortened raincoat can fit to the small child.

2. The hem of the raincoat can be widened to become skirt shape such that the raincoat will not slide up and make feet wet for the rear-seat passenger of the motorcycle.

3. The raincoat and the storage bag are built-in-one so that the storage is easier to carry and is not easy to get lost than before.

4. The storage bag and raincoat are made by safety material. It is an obviously caution at dark nights or in rainy days.

5. The storage bag contains extra shoe covers, preventing shoes from getting wet.

6. To prevent the face and the mask from getting wet, we add an extra tarpaulin beside brim that nears the nose and mouth. We sew a small pocket at the right side of the hat for stowing the cover cloth.


Effectiveness and instructions Effectiveness

1. The storage bag is included in the back of the raincoat so it is hard to get lost.

2. The shoe covers prevent the shoes and feet from getting wet.

3. The hem of the raincoat can be lengthened and shortened so the raincoat is suitable for adults and children.

4. The raincoat contains tarpaulin beside brim that nears the nose and mouth so the face cannot get wet easily.

5. The storage bag in the back of the raincoat is made by safety material. It is obviously to be watched when you are in the rain.


Instructions

Step1: Open the storage bag and unfold it to become a raincoat. To wear the shoe covers added on.


Step2: Unzip the hem of the raincoat to lengthen the raincoat; or shorten the raincoat by folding additional part with Velcro. The user can adjust the length based on their height.


Step3: Take out the tarpaulin from the small pocket on the right side of the hat, and fasten it by using the Velcro on the left side of the hat, completing the function to cover nose and mouth.


Other considerations

1. The raincoat is made of waterproof and breathable materials; you do not feel hot as you wear it.

2. Users can choose their favorite colors and patterns on their raincoats.

3. Raincoats and shoe covers have different sizes for all the users.


Invention making processes

1. Materials:
Styrofoam glue, water proof cloth, zipper, Velcro, hemp rope, needle and thread


2. Processes
(1) Lengthen the hem We cut the front and back parts of raincoat along the hem but keep 20cm in the middle of back. Then we sew up a lengthening cloth and a zipper. The zipper is fastened in the two sides of the raincoat we have cut out. Note that since the lengthening cloth has to be pulled from the back of the zipper, avoid sewing the lengthening cloth too when fastening the zipper on the raincoat.

Next, we sew an invisible pocket inside the hem of the raincoat for stowing the lengthening cloth. We first fold the lengthening cloth, stow it into the pocket and then sew up the pocket.


(2) The storage bag on the back of the raincoat It is more convenient to stow raincoat because a storage bag is sewn on the back of the raincoat. First, we measure the minimum size of the raincoat folded, size a waterproof cloth which matches the raincoat folded, sew the waterproof cloth on the raincoat and add a zipper on. Next, we sew another pocket on the storage bag for stowing shoe covers, the storage bag is done.


(3) Shoe covers We draw the shape of shoes on a piece of cloth and cut them down. Then, we sew them to form a pair of shoe covers. Besides, we add hemp to make purse-string openings for preventing the covers from slide down.


(4) The breathable mask To prevent the nose and mouth from getting wet, we use a piece of cloth to form an extra breathing mask. Based on the position of the nose and the mouth, we cut a piece of cloth with proper size. The right side of the cloth is sewn on the hat of the raincoat and the left side has a Velcro on it. However, the swing mask is unaesthetic and dangerous while it is not used. We sew an extra small pocket on the right side of the hat so that the breathable mask can be stowed in it easily.


(5) Shortening the hem of the raincoat We use Velcro to shorten the raincoat. We fold hem of the raincoat inward and fasten it with Velcro. There are 8 Velcro inside the hem and we fasten them by using Styrofoam glue.
