  • One-piece or two-piece swimsuits enclosing the upper and / or lower body are known as swimwear. When bathing or staying in the swimming pool or on the beach, they serve to cover the chest, genitals and buttocks for hygienic and social reasons.
  • the lower part of the one-piece and two-piece swimwear is regularly designed as trousers, i.e. the front and buttocks of the swimming trunks are connected to each other in the crotch.
  • the pants therefore cover the body from the waist down in one part, whereby the openings for the legs can be cut out to different sizes.
  • the leg openings in normal swimming trunks or swimsuits are adjusted to the circumference of the thighs, while in bikinis or thongs they release the body on the sides up to the hip base and additionally show parts of the abdomen and buttocks.
  • the hips are partly covered only with a cord that holds the upper waistband of this swimwear together.
  • the so-called loincloth is known in primitive peoples to cover and protect the lower body it is a garment covering the genitals and the buttocks without the front and back parts being joined together at the crotch.
  • the loincloth usually consists of two pieces of tissue or leather or two large leaves of plants that hang from the front and back of the body with a cord tied around the waist.
  • A1 bathing and sports clothing is already known, which is designed as a genital covering without a connecting piece between the buttocks to protect and support the external genitals of the man and the woman. It consists of a metal or plastic part that is held by a belt, with a fabric or plastic bag attached to the metal or plastic frame at the front and an apron that falls freely at the front and rear.
  • the metal or plastic frame which can only be deformed with great effort, is modeled on the male or female pubic area and extends in the crotch to the perineum. From there to the back, the buttocks are exposed.
  • the apron has the task of covering the fixed frame with the bag and the exposed buttocks.
  • the item of clothing cannot be seen, even if a particularly high pressure is applied.
  • the garment previously known from FR-2 740 302 A1 the desired high level of comfort and hygienic protection cannot be achieved.
  • the solution of this task in the case of the garment of the type mentioned at the outset is, in particular, that the front crotch part ends above the pubic area with a waistband and is connected to the waist cord by two tension elements, and that at least the front apron part with the front crotch part on both sides is connected via a connecting bridge.
  • the front crotch part closes above the pubic area and is therefore formed only in certain areas - namely as far as necessary for hygienic and social reasons - as a fabric part. It is the front crotch part is connected to the waist cord by two tension elements. As a result, the front crotch part can be designed to be particularly light and double covers due to the layers of fabric of the crotch and apron part lying one above the other are avoided. At the same time, the genital area is covered well and securely from insight by the apron part arranged in front, in order to achieve social acceptance.
  • An advantageous embodiment according to the invention can consist in that a rear apron part also hangs from the waist cord, which covers the rear crotch part at least in some areas.
  • a loincloth with two apron parts can also cover the rear crotch part and thereby also maintain the effect of a swimwear consisting of the loincloth from behind.
  • the social acceptance of the garment according to the invention as swimwear is particularly important.
  • the rear apron part is connected to the rear crotch part on both sides in each case via at least one loosely falling connecting web, for example made of elastic material. This prevents the rear apron part from blowing away or slipping upwards or to the side and the rear apron part is held above the buttock fold.
  • the rear and front apron parts can hang down freely despite the connecting bars.
  • a waistband with a fixed strip of fabric or a rubber band is arranged above the pubic triangle, the front crotch part above the pubic area. empire completes.
  • the waistband is designed as a fixed web. This allows the width of the front crotch part to be stabilized.
  • the points of application of the elastic traction elements are attached below the central axis of the fixed web.
  • the fixed web tilts towards the body due to the tension of the elastic tension elements and thus presses it against the body.
  • the shape of the web can be adapted to the body shape in order to improve comfort.
  • the front apron part and / or the rear apron part are connected by connecting devices such as e.g. Buttons, snap fasteners, Velcro fasteners or the like are visibly or concealed with the waist cord detachably connected. It can also be possible to replace the front or rear apron part alone.
  • the area of the front crotch part covered by the front apron part and therefore not visible consists entirely or partially of elastic mesh fabric.
  • the social acceptance of the garment can be further increased if the side edges of the front apron part are designed as wedge-shaped widened and turned over towards the body connecting webs and if the wedge-shaped connecting webs are each connected at their tip to the front crotch part. This makes it even more difficult to see the pubic area already covered by the front crotch part and the front apron part.
  • connecting webs and the wedge-shaped connecting webs of the front apron part are firmly connected to the apron part and to the crotch part by the arrangement of connecting devices such as e.g. Buttons, push buttons, Velcro closures or the like are detachably connected.
  • the apron parts and the crotch parts consist of fabric which is preferably washable and essentially maintains its predetermined size even after several washing processes.
  • the crotch parts preferably consist of elastic fabric.

  • FIGS. 1 and 2 characterize the division of the one-piece crotch part into the front crotch part 2 and the rear crotch part 2a.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 it is clear that the crotch parts 2 and 2a of the The garment according to the invention essentially corresponds to the crotch parts 13 and 13a of a conventional thong and as a result can be manufactured just as cheaply and also in the same clothing sizes.
  • the dimensions of the front apron part 1 and the rear apron part 1a are adapted to the front crotch part 2 and the rear crotch part 2a and thus partially cover them, as is the case in section in FIGS. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 is recognizable.
  • the crotch parts 2 and 2a are firmly connected to the hip cord 3 at the upper ends a, e, f and i and cover the genitals and the crotch area.

  • the area delimited by points a-j-k-e in FIG. 3 can thus be free of tissue for a particularly light design of the front crotch part 2 while the front crotch part 2 is still firmly seated.
  • the collar 4 can advantageously be designed as a fixed web 7. 5, in order to stabilize the front crotch part 2 in its width.
  • the tension elements 6 and 6a which act at the points of attack 8 and 8a arranged below the central axis II of the fixed web 7, tilt the fixed web 7 towards the body, so that the upper edge 11 of the fixed web 7 is pressed against the body.
  • the shape of the fixed web 7 or the shape of the upper edge 11 of the fixed web 7 can be adapted to the body shape above the pubic area in order to increase comfort and to avoid pressure points.
  • the front apron part 1 and the rear apron part 1 a of the loincloth can be detachably connected for easy replacement of these parts 1, 1a for the purpose of cleaning or for fashionable adaptation to the waist cord 3 with the aid of connecting elements 9 recognizable in FIGS. 3 and 4, for example Buttons, push buttons, Velcro or the like can be.
