| Abstract: |
Disclosed is a pressure suit for high altitude flights and particularly space missions. The suit is designed for astronauts in the Apollo Space Program and may be worn both inside and outside a space vehicle, as well as on the lunar surface. It comprises an integrated assembly of inner comfort liner, intermediate pressure garment, and outer thermal protective garment with removable helmet and gloves. The pressure garment comprises an inner convoluted sealing bladder and outer fabric restraint to which are attached a plurality of cable restraint assemblies. It provides versitility in combination with improved sealing and increased mobility for internal pressures suitable for life support in the near vacuum of outer space.

What is claimed and desired to be secured by United States Letters Patent is:
1. A space suit for high altitude and space environments comprising a pressure garment having an inner sealing bladder and an outer restraint convering, a pair of like gas inlet connectors on said pressure garment connected together in substantially direct fluid connunication with each other for selective use of either or simultaneous use of both inlet connectors for passing life supporting gas into said suit, a pair of like gas outlet connectors on said pressure garment connected together in substantially direct fluid communication with each other for selective use of either or simultaneous use of both outlet connectors for passing gas as exhaust out of said suit, an electrical connector on said pressure garment for connection of communications and bio-instrumentation to the interior of the pressure garment, and a self-sealing biomedical injection patch on said pressure garment.
