Dr. Edmund Lekisch in Vienna swimsuit

Patented in the German Empire on September 27, 1935

The invention relates to a buoyant and load-bearing, close fitting to the body Swimsuit.

So far you have made swim and wearable swimsuits in such a way that one Channels or pockets filled with vegetable fibers arranged lengthways in the fabric arranges or provides swim inserts, closed • air spaces and the like. These swimsuits

They look very clumsy and are very stiff and unattractive. They're more rescue suits than bathing suits. There are still Also floating and wearable items of clothing made from a fabric made from reindeer hair or from reindeer hair in connection with sheep or cotton or other fibers known. These garments have the disadvantage that they are very expensive and heavy and have no suppleness.

These disadvantages are to be eliminated by the subject matter of the invention, that the swimsuit is wholly or partly made of a material made of bast threads from wood, especially coniferous wood, which is about the strength of ordinary textile thread to have.

The swimsuit according to the invention is distinguished by the familiar its great load-bearing capacity, air and water permeability, cheap manufacture and adaptation to the body. Tests have shown that bast threads from cypress trees are the most advantageous. The bast fibers the conifers are tremendous because of their position between the inner bark and the pith light and supple and at the same time very tough and firm. The mechanically active elements of the bast threads are the cells. the Bast threads of the conifers, especially cypresses, can easily be found in one size that is roughly the same as that of ordinary textile thread. This is how it is possible to make the swimsuit according to the invention by hand or by machine in the same Like the usual swimsuits made from a tree or fabric Manufacture sheep wool.

When the lungs are filled with air, the human body swims in the water without any swimming movement during inhalation, but sinks below when exhaling because of the reduced buoyancy. The difference in the size of the buoyancy when inhaling and exhaling is relatively small and, depending on the weight of the water displaced by the body, corresponds approximately to a weight of ι to I ¹ Z ₂ kg. The raffia threads of the swimsuit according to the invention have a buoyancy in the water which corresponds to the difference in buoyancy size when inhaling and exhaling, and they therefore prevent the bather from sinking down at the time of

Exhalation. The swimsuit according to the invention not only facilitates the ' less practiced swimming, but ·? makes the BätLiji even for non-swimmers less dangerous because sinking -only. * in the case of unsuitable behavior, e.g. "" Reduction of the water displacement by Raising your arms out of the water is possible.

ίο The load-bearing capacity of the new, very porous, Air- and water-permeable swimsuit is based exclusively on the load-bearing capacity the threads used to produce the fabric and not as with the previously known Swimsuits on the support of additional inserts, layers, pockets or lining materials, which, apart from the cost of the extra material, are cumbersome and therefore require more expensive extra work and most of them, if they are not after small ones Area parts are quilted, soon shift slightly in the water and billow out.

To achieve the new effect, the shape and the cut are important the swimsuit has no limits. It can swim according to the invention and wearable swimsuits in this respect of the respective fashion or the practical Purpose to be designed and adapted accordingly.
