A male garment and a method of fabrication thereof, the male garment comprising a front portion and a back portion extending into leg openings at a bottom edge thereof, wherein the front portion comprises, on an inner side thereof, a left flap and a right flap crossing at a bottom thereof, at the center of the front portion.

Description

TITLE OF THE INVENTION
Male garment FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to male garments. More specifically, the present invention is concerned with a male underwear garment.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] A number of male underwear garments allowing supporting men's genitals have been developed over the years, with the aim of providing increased space and improved comfort and ease of movement.
[0003] There is still a need in the art for a male underwear garment.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] More specifically, in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a male garment comprising a front portion and a back portion extending into leg openings at a bottom edge thereof, wherein the front portion comprises, on an inner side thereof, a left flap and a right flap crossing at a bottom thereof, at the center of the front portion.
[0005] There is further provided a male garment, comprising a front portion and a back portion extending into leg openings at a bottom edge thereof, wherein the front portion comprises a pouch in the center thereof, the pouch having a top opening aligned with the genitals of a user as the user inserts his legs through the leg openings, and a crossed-patterned bottom, opposite the top opening, supporting the genitals of the user when the user wears the garment.
[0006] There is further provided a method for manufacturing a male garment, comprising providing a garment body comprising a front portion and a back portion extending into leg openings; connecting a left flap to the material of the front portion, on an inner side of the front portion;
and connecting a right flap to the material of the front portion, on the inner side of the front portion, so that the left and right flaps cross at a bottom thereof at a bottom edge of the front portion; thereby forming a pouch having a top opening aligned with the genitals of a user as the user inserts his legs through the leg openings, and a crossed-patterned Date recue/Date received 2023-04-28 bottom, opposite the top opening, supporting the genitals of the user when the user wears the garment.
[0007] Other objects, advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent upon reading of the following non-restrictive description of specific embodiments thereof, given by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0008] In the appended drawings:
[0009] FIG. 1 is a back elevational view of a male garment according to an embodiment of the present invention;
[0010] FIG. 2 shows the inside of the front portion of the male garment of FIG. 1;
[0011] FIG. 3A shows the inside of a front portion of a garment according to another embodiment of the present invention; and
[0012] FIG. 3B shows the inside of a front portion of a garment according to still another embodiment of the present invention.
DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS
[0013] The present invention is illustrated in further details by the following non-limiting examples.
[0014] A garment 10 according to an embodiment of the invention is illustrated for example in FIGs. 1 to 3.
[0015] The garment 10 as illustrated comprises a waist band 12 and a body 14.
The body 14 comprises a front portion 18 and a back portion 20 and extends into leg openings 16a and 16b.
[0016] As illustrated in FIGs. 1 and 2, the front portion 18 comprises a left flap 26a and a right flap 26b.
Each flap is of a generally triangular shape, with a generally vertical side 30a, 30b i.e. generally perpendicular to the top edge of the front portion 18, i.e. generally perpendicular to the waist band 12, a generally horizontal side 34a (only one generally horizontal side 34a is seen in in FIG. 1), i.e.
to the top edge of the front portion 18, i.e. generally parallel to the waist band 12, and an oblique side 32a, 32b connecting a top end of the vertical side 30a, 30b and a free end of the horizontal side 34a.
Date recue/Date received 2023-04-28
[0017] Each flap is connected to the material 24 of the front portion 18, on the inner side of the front portion
18, i.e. inside of the garment 10, with the vertical side 30a, 30b (see A-B in FIG. 2 showing flap 26a) connected, by sewing for example, to a seam 28a, 28b and the horizontal side 34a, 34b along a bottom seam 40 of the front portion 18 (see B-C in FIG. 2).
[0018] The height of each flap, i.e. the height of the generally vertical sides 30a, 30b is about two thirds of the height of the seam 28a, 28b from the bottom seam 40 of the front portion 18 to the waist band 12 as shown in FIG. 2.
[0019] Thus the two flaps 26a and 26b cross at their bottom, on about a third (h) of their height (H) from the bottom seam 40 of the front portion 18 as shown in FIG. 2. They thus form a pouch (P) in the center of the front portion on the inside of the front portion 18 of the garment 10, with a wide top opening aligned with the genitals of the wearer as the wearer inserts his legs through the leg openings 16a and 16b.
[0020] In the embodiments illustrated in FIGs. 3, the two flaps of the pouch (P) on the inside of the front portion 18 of the garment are formed in a single piece of material. In the detail shown in FIG. 3B, flatlock stiches 42 for example may provide a crossed pattern at the bottom of the pouch (P).
[0021] Such a pouch comprising a crossed-patterned bottom opposite its top opening provides a sleek support and smooth shaping for the genitals of the wearer.
[0022] The present garment provides increased comfort as the genitals are maintained within the pouch without contact with the inside of the thighs, while allowing movement if required when practicing a sport for example.
[0023] The present garment or part thereof may be made in a range of materials, including for example bamboo, rayon and combination thereof, viscose, viscose elastane, acrylic, polyester, micromodal fibers, mesh, microfibers, TactelTm, organza, silk, satin, CoolMaxTm, elastane fiber such as SpandexTm, cotton, polycotton, combed cotton, ringspun cotton, Supima cotton, organic cotton, cotton elastane etc... and combination thereof. For example, the pouch, i. e. the two flaps 26a and 26b, may be made in mesh, while the remaining of the garment may be in cotton.
[0024] The present combination of flaps may be used on a range of men's garments, such as briefs, underwear, shorts, leggings, swimming suits, long underwear, base layers, cycling shorts, and thermal base layers for example.
Date recue/Date received 2023-04-28
[0025] The scope of the claims should not be limited by the embodiments set forth in the examples, but should be given the broadest interpretation consistent with the description as a whole.
