Definitions
- the present invention relates to trousers, in particular men's underpants, with a body part and a waistband connected to the body part, the waistband having a front part, a back part and two side parts.
- the invention further relates to a pair of men's underpants, with a torso part and a waistband connected to the torso part, both the torso part and the waistband having a front part and a back part and a jockstrap being formed in the region of the front part of the torso part.
- This document describes a pair of men's underpants that have a body part that is closed in the circumferential direction and a collar that is connected to the body part.
- the collar closes the top of the fuselage in a ring and circumferentially at approximately the same height.
- a separately cut slit is sewn to the front of the fuselage, which forms a bulging jockstrap.
- the slot part is sewn to the fuselage part in such a way that a lateral engagement slot leading to the jockstrap remains between the two parts.
- the object of this document is to design the slit part of the men's underpants in such a way that an adaptable jockstrap with improved wearing properties is created.
- it is proposed to sew the slit part out of slit part blanks in such a way that at least the central area of the jockstrap is seamless.
- a disadvantage that applies to both underpants and upper pants results from the fact that the waistband has to absorb practically all tensile forces in order to keep the pants on the body. These tensile forces act largely vertically from below due to gravity. This is unfavorable due to the known lever laws and means that the federal government must exert a greater holding force than is actually necessary. This can be recognized, for example, by the fact that the collar deforms downwards under the action of the vertically acting tensile forces at the points at which it is not directly supported, for example by the hip or pelvic bones.
- braces One way to counter this is, of course, to use braces.
- this has the disadvantage that the putting on and taking off of the pants is particularly difficult when the braces are worn under the outer clothing.
- Another way to prevent the pants from slipping is to use a sufficiently strong, elastic waistband.
- this often has the disadvantage that a uncomfortable feeling of pressure, especially on the stomach.
- men's underpants As far as men's underpants are concerned, they have so far been designed so that the penis lies or hangs down when walking or standing upright and is enclosed by the underpants in a bag-like manner together with the scrotum. This can lead to a build-up of heat in the area of the genitals, which is bad for the testicles from a health point of view. In addition, the underpants are often soiled by urine stains.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a pair of trousers and in particular a pair of men's underpants which avoids the disadvantages mentioned above.
- these measures mean that the collar and thus the trousers on the pelvic bones always find good stopping points that are independent of the wearer's figure.
- the trousers are practically "hung" on the pelvic bones.
- the tensile forces acting vertically from below are shaped, that means the course of the waistband, which diagonally rises upwards on both sides, is well absorbed and led to the stopping or hanging points on the pelvic bones. Unnecessary leverage is reduced.
- the course of the covenant is thus adapted to the flow of force and optimally guides the attacking tensile forces to the stops at the pelvic bones.
- the waistband of the pants is made of an elastic material, the necessary strength or elasticity of the elastic material can be reduced due to the waistband which is adapted to the force profile.
- the pants according to the invention have the advantage that the pressure which the waistband exerts on the stomach and / or on the hips is lower overall.
- Another advantage of the invention is that by lowering the front part of the waistband, the forces exerted by the waistband, in particular an elastic waistband, no longer press primarily on the abdomen, but rather are distributed primarily over the pelvic bones. However, pressure on these is less uncomfortable or noticeable. For this reason, the pants according to the invention therefore offer increased wearing comfort.
- Another advantage of the above measures is that by lowering the front part of the waistband, an intervention in the pants from above is possible. As a result, if the pants are intended as men's underpants, lateral engagement slots and thus slot parts to be provided separately are dispensed with. This reduces the effort and thus also the costs in the manufacture of such pants.
- the combination according to the invention of the above-mentioned features describes a pair of pants whose "suspension" is optimally adapted to the course of the attacking gravitational forces.
- elastic materials in the waistband of a pair of pants were necessary to provide them with the necessary support, but they can now be dispensed with entirely, or at least the elasticity of the elastic material can be noticeably reduced.
- the pants according to the invention therefore offer a good and pleasant hold even with a “conical” body shape, without causing an uncomfortable feeling of pressure on the stomach and without the need for braces.
- the trousers according to the invention can also be designed as "normal" trousers (upper trousers) with a waistband which is divided on the front and which e.g. can be closed with a button or a clasp.
- the front part of the waistband is divided into two and has an upper front waistband and a lower front waistband, the center of the lower front waistband being lowered relative to the connecting line, the lower front waistband starting approximately from the center V-shaped to the two side parts, the upper front waistline running approximately at the level of the connecting line and both the lower and the upper front waistband merging into the two side parts.
- This measure has the advantage that the two "suspension points" of the trousers are connected to one another by the upper front waistband. A further distribution of force is thereby achieved. In addition, the two breakpoints are thereby pulled towards one another and consequently also against the pelvic bones Advantage that the grip is further improved.
- a connecting fabric part is provided between the lower front waistband and the upper front waistband.
- This measure has the advantage that the lower front waistband and the upper front waistband are connected to each other and that in particular the upper front waistband cannot twist or warp as easily. This makes it easier to put on the pants in comparison to pants with an actually two-part waistband.
- Another advantage of this embodiment is that it corresponds to trousers that have been familiar from the visual point of view, since the upper front waistband then also achieves an annular closure of the trousers.
- the middle of the back of the federal government is also opposite the connection line and the back section of the waistband runs approximately V-shaped from the center to the two side sections.
- the back part of the waistband is divided into two and has an upper rear waistband and a lower rear waistband, the center of the lower rear waistband being lowered relative to the connecting line, the lower rear waistband starting from the center approximately V -shaped to the two side parts, the upper rear collar runs approximately at the level of the connecting line and both the lower rear collar and the upper rear collar merge into the two side parts.
- this measure has the advantage that the two stops of the federal government are pulled towards one another and thus against the pelvis, and as a result the overall hold of the pants is further improved.
- a connecting fabric part is provided between the lower rear collar and the upper rear collar.
- the middle of the front part of the waistband or the middle of the lower front waistband is lowered so far that it is positioned below the navel when the pants are worn as intended.
- This measure has the advantage that the tensile forces acting on the trousers or the collar are guided particularly well to the stopping points in the region of the side parts. This results from the fact that in this embodiment of the invention the front part of the waistband or the lower front waistband runs diagonally towards the two side parts with a pronounced slope, whereby the leverage forces are correspondingly significantly reduced.
- the middle of the front part of the waistband is provided with a flat attachment which has a horizontal upper edge, the attachment being reinforced on this horizontal upper edge.
- attachment offers a handle for easy access to the pants from above. It also lends itself to the waistband below the attachment sew together. In this case, the attachment has the additional advantage that it additionally strengthens and holds the seam together.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention results in a pair of men's underpants of the type mentioned, in which the jockstrap for supporting the penis is delimited on both sides by two first brackets, which are attached in the region of the front part of the waistband and run from there downwards, the the first two holders are arranged at such a distance from one another that they are able to hold the penis in an essentially upright position.
- This measure itself has the advantage that less space is required for the genitals in the crotch of the pants and consequently heat build-up due to overly tight outer clothing is avoided or at least reduced. This is particularly advantageous in view of the harmful effects of such a heat build-up.
- the upright position of the penis prevents contamination of the underpants from urine stains.
- the previously explained configurations of the federal government offer the advantage that the additional tensile force exerted by the penis on the mentioned supports is also optimally directed to the “suspension points” of the pants, ie to the pelvic bones Brackets for supporting the penis described here are particularly advantageous in connection with the course of the collar designed according to the invention.
- a further, horizontally running holder is provided, which runs below the penis when the pants are worn as intended and divides the jockstrap into an upper half for receiving the penis and into a lower half for receiving the scrotum.
- This measure has the advantage that it additionally supports the upright positioning of the penis.
- the two first brackets are connected to one another on the underside of the pants. This measure also has the advantage that it reinforces the holders and thus improves the support of the penis.
- the two first brackets are connected to the back of the federal government by an extension.
- This further embodiment of the invention is particularly advantageous in connection with the embodiment of the invention which has already been explained, in which the center of the rear part of the federal government is also lowered relative to the connecting line and in which the rear part of the federal government is approximately V-shaped from the center runs on both sides.
- the V-shaped back section of the federal government optimally absorbs the additional tensile forces due to the continuation.
- the extension of the extension force of the suspensory which results from the upright support of the penis, is advantageously directed to a second suspension point. This further improves the upright support of the penis.
- the brackets consist of an elastic material. This measure has the advantage that the brackets give way particularly during movements and thus improves the wearing comfort.
- the brackets are bands which are fastened at least on the front part of the waistband and at a further point on the fuselage part.
- brackets can be attached as independent elements at the end of the manufacture of men's underpants according to the invention. This results in the possibility of initially producing men's underpants with and without such mounts in the same way and to provide the mounts according to the invention only in the last production step. This in turn has the advantage that the production costs are reduced due to the initially uniform manufacturing process.
- brackets are seams incorporated in the fuselage part.
