PERSONAL RADIATION PROTECTION GARMENT USING RADIATION PROTECTIVE LAYERS

摘要

A personal radiation protection garment apparatus is described. The garment is equipped with multiple layers, including a central protective layer, which helps to prevent the unwanted application of radiation to an individual when worn. Multiple sections of the garment are joined by overlapping seams. The protective layer includes a first and a second partially lapping radiation-protective panels, with the first panel attached to the first layer at a first attachment zone, and the second panel attached to the second layer at a second attachment zone. The first panel is configured to overlap the second panel across the second attachment zone, providing a continuous protective covering of the second attachment zone, and the second panel overlaps the first panel across the first attachment zone as well.
