Description

La présente invention concerne un article de lingerie tricoté correspondant à ce qui est commercialisé actuellement sous la dénomination "boxer" et qui désigne généralement un caleçon court tricoté, destiné aussi bien aux hommes qu'aux femmes de tous âges. Il est entendu ici que le terme boxer n'est pas limité au caleçon court mais s'étend aussi aux caleçons longs, par exemple du type connu sous la dénomination « long boxer », « legging ». etc.The present invention relates to a knitted lingerie article corresponding to what is currently marketed under the name "boxer" and which generally designates a knitted short underpants, intended both for men and women of all ages. It is understood here that the term boxer is not limited to short underpants but also extends to long underpants, for example of the type known under the name "long boxer", "legging". etc.

Le boxer est un article relativement complexe car destiné à recouvrir aussi bien le bas du tronc que le haut des cuisses sur une langueur suffisante. Il comprend une partie de culotte terminée à sa partie supérieure par une ceinture positionnée à la taille, et à sa partie inférieure par deux revers se positionnant sur les cuisses séparément. Il est couramment réalisé à partir d'un tube tricoté correspondant à un diamètre permettant d'habiller le bas du tronc sans couture, et se voit doté lors d'une opération de confection d'un fond cousu d'entrejambe permettant de relier les deux tubes habillant les cuisses. On sait tricoter sur les métiers circulaires tels que les métiers SANTONI type SM8-8, par exemple pour des diamètres compris entre 10 et 16 pouces (entre 25 et 40 cm), des tubes destinés à la confection de boxers avec une ceinture double en partie et haute et un revers double en partie basse, ce tube pouvant être tricoté dans les deux sens (ceinture-revers ou revers-ceinture). Il est aussi connu de confectionner le fond du tube pour réaliser le bas du boxer, avec un fond rapporté qui peut être réalisé sur le même type de métier à tricoter. Selon l'art antérieur connu des documents US2000073 et FR2805285 , le fond d'entrejambe ou gousset est une pièce sensiblement rectangulaire qu'on vient mettre entre les bords de deux fentes ou incisions pratiquées à l'avant et à l'arrière du tube tricoté. Les figures 1 à 3 ci-jointes montrent plus en détail cette opération de confection. Le boxer 101 est réalisé sous forme d'un tube tricoté, avec une ceinture supérieure 102 et une bordure inférieure 103, où sont formées ou pourront être formés des revers ou des renforcements correspondant aux futurs passages de cuisse. Le tube tricoté 101 comprend une face avant 105 et une face arrière 106 (d'un seul tenant puisqu'il s'agit d'un tricotage circulaire). On a représenté en hachures sur la face avant 105 la partie 104 destinée à former la poche avant du boxer destinée à maintenir les organes génitaux. On procède (figures 1 et 2) à une opération de coupe créant une incision 107 à l'avant 105 et une incision identique ou différente 108 à l'arrière 106 du tube tricoté, au milieu, à sa partie inférieure. L'incision 107 a des bords 110, 111 et l'incision 108 a des bords 112, 113. On écarte et étire ensuite latéralement, comme suggéré par les flèches des figures 1 et 2, chaque incision 107, 108 de manière à mettre sensiblement dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre les bords 110, 111 d'une part et 112, 113 d'autre part, et à former ainsi des lignes de fond sensiblement rectilignes que l'on coud entre elles par l'intermédiaire d'un fond d'entrejambe sensiblement rectangulaire 115 (on appelle ici « lignes de fond» les bords inférieurs de l'avant et de l'arrière du tricot tubulaire, destinés à être cousus l'un à l'autre, entre les passages de cuisse, directement ou par l'intermédiaire de pièces supplémentaires de fond d'entrejambe telle que le gousset). Le document FR2805285 avait représenté un progrès par rapport à la confection classique en prévoyant des lignes de fond de longueur différente à l'avant et à l'arrière et en réalisant le fond d'entrejambe 115 avec des zones d'élasticité différente à l'avant et à l'arrière. Cette proposition a permis de résoudre en partie un problème souvent rencontré avec ce type de vêtement, à savoir l'absence de confort au porter, liée notamment à la présence de coutures gênantes au niveau de l'entrejambe et/ou à une mauvaise conformation de ce fond à l'anatomie du porteur, et plus particulièrement à la présence de coutures gênantes sur l'avant au niveau des organes génitaux, notamment pour l'homme. Néanmoins, le confort au porter reste à améliorer encore et tel est le but de la présente invention. Plus précisément il s'agit de trouver un nouveau procédé de confection de l'entrejambe, restant simple, mais conduisant à un confort amélioré.The boxer is a relatively complex article because intended to cover both the bottom of the trunk and the upper thighs on a sufficient languor. It comprises a portion of pants completed at its upper part by a belt positioned at the waist, and at its lower part by two lapel positions on the thighs separately. It is commonly made from a knitted tube corresponding to a diameter to dress the bottom of the trunk seamlessly, and is equipped during an operation of making a sewn bottom crotch to connect the two tubes dressing the thighs. We knit on circular looms such as SANTONI trades type SM8-8, for example for diameters between 10 and 16 inches (between 25 and 40 cm), tubes for the manufacture of boxers with a double belt in part and high and a double cuff at the bottom, this tube can be knitted in both directions (belt-lapel or lapel-belt). It is also known to make the bottom of the tube to make the bottom of the boxer, with an attached bottom that can be made on the same type of knitting machine. According to the prior art known documents US2000073 and FR2805285 the crotch or gusset bottom is a substantially rectangular piece that is placed between the edges of two slots or incisions made in front and rear of the knitted tube. The Figures 1 to 3 attached hereto show in more detail this garment operation. The boxer 101 is made in the form of a knitted tube, with an upper belt 102 and a lower edge 103, where are formed or may be formed cuffs or reinforcements corresponding to future thigh passages. The knitted tube 101 comprises a front face 105 and a rear face 106 (in one piece since it is a circular knitting). The portion 104 for forming the front pocket of the boxer intended to hold the genital organs is shown in hatching on the front face 105. We proceed ( Figures 1 and 2 ) to a cutting operation creating an incision 107 at the front 105 and an identical or different incision 108 at the rear 106 of the knitted tube, in the middle at its lower part. The incision 107 has edges 110, 111 and the incision 108 has edges 112, 113. Laterally it is spread and stretched, as suggested by the arrows Figures 1 and 2 , each incision 107, 108 so as to substantially extend the edges 110, 111 on the one hand and 112, 113 on the other hand, and thus to form substantially rectilinear baselines that one sews together through a substantially rectangular bottom crotch 115 (here called "bottom lines" the lower edges of the front and rear of the tubular knit, to be sewn l one to the other, between the thigh passages, directly or through additional pieces of crotch bottom such as the gusset). The document FR2805285 had represented an improvement over conventional clothing by providing bottom lines of different lengths at the front and back and by making the crotch bottom 115 with zones of different elasticity at the front and back. the rear. This proposal has partly solved a problem often encountered with this type of clothing, namely the lack of comfort to wear, particularly related to the presence of annoying seams in the crotch and / or a poor conformation of this background to the anatomy of the wearer, and more particularly to the presence of annoying seams on the front at the level of the genitals, especially for humans. Nevertheless, the wearing comfort remains to be further improved and this is the purpose of the present invention. More specifically it is a question of finding a new method of making the crotch, remaining simple, but leading to improved comfort.

On connaît, par les documents WO 2012087210 et WO2011008138 , deux procédés de confection de boxers à partir de deux bandes de tricot rectilignes qu'on vient appliquer l'une sur l'autre. Ces documents enseignent qu'on peut lier entre elles les deux bandes selon certains motifs de lignes parallèles ou en T qu'on vient ensuite inciser, de manière à donner naissance à des formes d'entrejambe particulières. Ces deux procédés ne concernent pas la fabrication des boxers à partir de tricot tubulaire et ne donnent pas d'enseignement transposable à ce procédé de fabrication.We know, by the documents WO 2012087210 and WO2011008138 , two methods of making boxers from two straight knitting strips that just applied to one another. These documents teach that it is possible to bind the two bands together according to certain patterns of parallel or T-shaped lines that are then incised, so as to give rise to particular crotch shapes. These two methods do not relate to the manufacture of boxers from tubular knitwear and do not provide teaching transferable to this manufacturing process.

Le but de l'invention est atteint grâce à un procédé de fabrication d'un boxer comprenant le tricotage circulaire d'un tube principal, la préparation d'un fond d'entrejambe, la découpe en partie basse à l'avant et à l'arrière du tube d'incisions, l'ouverture par extension latérale des incisions pour former des première et seconde lignes de fond globalement transversales et la couture du fond d'entrejambe aux lignes de fond globalement transversales pour former l'entrejambe et le passage des cuisses et confectionner le boxer, caractérisé en ce qu'on découpe, respectivement à l'avant ou à l'arrière, deux incisions formant, par ouverture des incisions, une première ligne de fond globalement transversale composée d'une part d'un bord transversal bas et d'autre part d'un bord transversal haut de ligne de fond remontant plus haut que le bord bas transversal, en ce qu'on découpe au moins une incision, respectivement à l'arrière ou l'avant, formant, par ouverture de l'incision, une seconde ligne de fond présentant au moins un bord transversal bas, en ce qu'on prépare le fond d'entrejambe sous forme d'au moins une pièce d'entrejambe, et en ce qu'on coud ledit bord transversal bas de la première ligne de fond à une partie en regard du bord transversal bas de la seconde ligne de fond et en ce qu'on coud l'au moins une pièce d'entrejambe entre le bord haut de la première ligne de fond et une partie en regard de la seconde ligne de fond.The object of the invention is achieved by a method of manufacturing a boxer comprising circular knitting of a main tube, the preparation of a crotch bottom, the cut in the lower part at the front and at the back. rear of the incision tube, the opening by lateral extension of the incisions to form first and second generally transverse bottom lines and the seam of the crotch bottom to the generally transverse bottom lines to form the crotch and the passage of the thighs and making the boxer, characterized in that cut, respectively at the front or rear, two incisions forming, by opening the incisions, a first generally transverse bottom line composed on the one hand of an edge transversely low and on the other hand a top transverse edge of bottom line rising above the lower transverse edge, in that at least one incision is cut, respectively at the rear or the front, forming, by opening of the inc ision, a second bottom line having at least one bottom transverse edge, in that the bottom crotch is prepared in the form of at least one crotch piece, and in that said bottom transverse edge of the first bottom line at a portion facing the bottom transverse edge of the second bottom line and that the at least one crotch piece is sewn between the top edge of the first bottom line and a portion of the bottom line. look at the second bottom line.

De préférence, en particulier pour un vêtement masculin, c'est au moins à l'avant que sont découpées les deux incisions, l'arrière pouvant se contenter d'une incision unique. C'est en effet à l'avant qu'il convient essentiellement d'améliorer le confort du vêtement. Il est cependant possible de prévoir un boxer où les deux incisions sont prévues à l'arrière et une seule à l'avant. Il est aussi possible, et même avantageux parfois, de prévoir un boxer où l'avant aussi bien que l'arrière comportent deux incisions.Preferably, especially for a male garment, it is at least in front that are cut the two incisions, the back can be satisfied with a single incision. It is indeed in the front that it is essential to improve the comfort of the garment. However, it is possible to provide a boxer where the two incisions are provided at the back and one at the front. It is also possible, and sometimes even advantageous, to provide a boxer where the front as well as the back have two incisions.

Les incisions peuvent être formées à l'avant et/ou à l'arrière du tube tricoté par des simples incisions symétriques par rapport à l'axe médian vertical d'une face avant ou arrière, verticales ou légèrement obliques par rapport à la verticale. Les incisions sont de préférence rectilignes, mais peuvent aussi être courbes, formées de segments, etc.The incisions can be formed at the front and / or rear of the knitted tube by simple incisions symmetrical with respect to the vertical median axis of a front or rear face, vertical or slightly oblique with respect to the vertical. The incisions are preferably rectilinear, but can also be curved, formed of segments, etc.

Les deux incisions formées sur le côté avant (ou arrière), sont dans un mode de réalisation préféré, deux incisions sensiblement verticales et symétriques par rapport à l'axe médian du boxer. Lorsqu'on étire latéralement le tricot pour ouvrir ces incisions et former la première ligne de fond globalement transversale, il se forme entre les incisions une sorte de languette centrale dont le bord constituera le bord bas transversal de la ligne de fond, entourée de part et d'autre par deux extrémités latérales de ligne de fond remontant plus haut que le bord de languette. On prépare dans ce cas le fond d'entrejambe sous forme de deux pièces d'entrejambe séparées ; on coud le bord bas de la languette avant, située au milieu de la première ligne de fond, au milieu de la seconde ligne de fond en regard et on coud les deux pièces séparées d'entrejambe entre les extrémités de la première ligne de fond et les extrémités en regard de la seconde ligne de fond.The two incisions formed on the front side (or rear), are in a preferred embodiment, two incisions substantially vertical and symmetrical with respect to the median axis of the boxer. When laterally stretching the knit to open these incisions and form the first generally transverse bottom line, there is formed between the incisions a kind of central tongue whose edge will be the transverse bottom edge of the bottom line, surrounded by both sides. on the other hand, by two lateral ends of the bottom line rising higher than the tongue edge. In this case the crotch bottom is prepared in the form of two separate crotch pieces; the lower edge of the front tongue is sewn, located in the middle of the first bottom line, in the middle of the second bottom line opposite and the two separate crotch pieces are sewn between the ends of the first bottom line and the ends opposite the second bottom line.

Si la seconde ligne de fond est formée par une incision unique, en principe sur la face arrière, cette seconde ligne de fond après extension latérale de l'incision est sensiblement une ligne transversale rectiligne ou légèrement arquée. Avantageusement, la longueur des découpes à l'avant et à l'arrière n'est pas la même : la longueur de la découpe à l'arrière est en principe supérieure à celle des découpes à l'avant de manière à former deux lignes de fond transversales qui ont une extension transversale sensiblement équivalente.If the second bottom line is formed by a single incision, in principle on the back side, this second bottom line after lateral extension of the incision is substantially a rectilinear or slightly arcuate transverse line. Advantageously, the length of the cutouts at the front and at the back is not the same: the length of the cutout at the back is in principle greater than that of the cuts at the front so as to form two lines of transverse bases which have a substantially equivalent transverse extension.

Ainsi, selon ce mode de réalisation, on a un procédé de fabrication d'un boxer comprenant le tricotage circulaire d'un tube principal, la préparation d'un fond d'entrejambe, la découpe en partie basse à l'avant et à l'arrière du tube d'incisions, l'ouverture des incisions pour former des première et seconde lignes de fond et la couture du fond d'entrejambe aux lignes de fond pour former l'entrejambe et le passage des cuisses et confectionner le boxer, caractérisé en ce qu'on découpe à l'avant deux incisions formant, par ouverture des incisions, une première ligne de fond composée d'une part d'un bord bas de languette avant entre les deux incisions et d'autre part de deux extrémités latérales de ligne de fond remontant plus haut que le bord de languette, en ce qu'on découpe une incision à l'arrière formant, par ouverture de l'incision, une seconde ligne de fond, en ce qu'on prépare le fond d'entrejambe sous forme de deux pièces d'entrejambe séparées, et en ce qu'on coud ledit bord de languette avant, située au milieu de la première ligne de fond, au milieu de la seconde ligne de fond et en ce qu'on coud les deux pièces séparées d'entrejambe entre les extrémités de la première ligne de fond et les extrémités de la seconde ligne de fond.Thus, according to this embodiment, there is a method of manufacturing a boxer comprising the circular knitting of a main tube, the preparation of a crotch bottom, the cut in the lower part at the front and back. rear of the incision tube, opening the incisions to form first and second baselines and sewing the crotch bottom to the bottom lines to form the crotch and the passage of the thighs and to make the boxer, characterized in that at the front two incisions are cut, forming, by opening the incisions, a first bottom line composed on the one hand of a low edge of the front tongue between the two incisions and on the other hand of two lateral ends bottom line extending higher than the tongue edge, in that an incision is cut at the rear forming, by opening the incision, a second bottom line, in that the bottom of the incision is prepared; crotch in the form of two separate crotch pieces, and that said tab edge is sewn front, located in the middle of the first bottom line, in the middle of the second bottom line and in that the two separate pieces of crotch are sewn between the ends of the first bottom line and the ends of the second line background.

La seconde ligne de fond se situe, après confection, du côté arrière du boxer, de sorte que la partie de languette qui lui est rattachée et qui vient de la partie avant, entoure sans couture et donc sans inconfort les organes génitaux du porteur. Les deux pièces d'entrejambe sont rejetées sur les bords de la languette et participent à la formation des passages de cuisse.The second bottom line is, after making, the rear side of the boxer, so that the tongue portion attached thereto and which comes from the front, surrounds seamlessly and therefore without discomfort the genitals of the wearer. The two pieces of crotch are rejected on the edges of the tongue and participate in the formation of the thigh passages.

Dans une variante de ce même mode de réalisation, on peut prévoir que la seconde ligne de fond est également formée par deux incisions sensiblement verticales et symétriques, auquel cas il se forme par extension des incisions une languette centrale pourvue d'un bord bas : le bord bas de la première languette est cousu sur le bord bas de la seconde languette et les pièces séparées d'entrejambe sont cousues entre les extrémités en regard de la première et de la seconde ligne de fond. Dans cette variante, la longueur des deux découpes à l'avant et à l'arrière est avantageusement la même, de manière à former deux lignes de fond transversales qui ont une extension transversale sensiblement équivalente.In a variant of this same embodiment, it is possible to provide that the second bottom line is also formed by two substantially vertical and symmetrical incisions, in which case incisions are formed by extension of a central tongue provided with a low edge: the The bottom edge of the first tongue is stitched to the bottom edge of the second tongue and the separate crotch pieces are sewn between the ends facing the first and second baselines. In this variant, the length of the two cutouts at the front and rear is advantageously the same, so as to form two transverse bottom lines which have a substantially equivalent transverse extension.

Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation, les deux incisions formées à l'avant et/ou à l'arrière du tube tricoté le sont sous forme d'une incision double en T, c'est-à-dire une incision comportant le pied du T partant du bord du tricot et la barre du T disposée transversalement au pied. Lorsqu'on étire latéralement le tricot pour ouvrir cette double incision en T et former la première ligne de fond globalement transversale, il se forme latéralement un bord bas de part et d'autre d'une partie centrale de la ligne de fond qui remonte plus haut que le bord situé aux deux extrémités de la ligne de fond. On prépare dans ce cas le fond d'entrejambe sous forme d'une seule pièce centrale séparée ; on coud le bord bas double latéral situé aux extrémités de la première ligne de fond, aux parties en regard aux extrémités de la seconde ligne de fond et on coud la pièce centrale séparée d'entrejambe entre la partie centrale remontant plus haut de la première ligne de fond et la partie centrale en regard de la seconde ligne de fond.According to a second embodiment, the two incisions formed at the front and / or rear of the knitted tube are in the form of a double T-shaped incision, that is to say an incision comprising the foot of the Starting from the edge of the knit and the T bar arranged transversely to the foot. When the knit is laterally stretched to open this double T-shaped incision and form the first generally transverse bottom line, a low edge is formed laterally on either side of a central part of the bottom line that goes back upwards. high that the edge located at both ends of the bottom line. In this case the crotch bottom is prepared as a single central piece; the lateral double bottom edge is sewn at the ends of the first bottom line, at the opposite portions at the ends of the second bottom line, and the central crotch piece is sewn between the central portion extending further up the first line. bottom and the central part opposite the second bottom line.

La forme des deux incisions formant un T peut admettre des variations : par exemple les branches de la barre du T peuvent être courbes et/ou n'être pas complètement à angle droit par rapport au pied du T.The shape of the two incisions forming a T can admit variations: for example the branches of the bar of the T can be curved and / or not be completely at right angles to the foot of T.

Si la seconde ligne de fond est formée par une incision unique, en principe sur la face arrière, cette seconde ligne de fond après extension latérale de l'incision est sensiblement une ligne transversale rectiligne ou légèrement arquée. Avantageusement, la longueur de la découpe à l'arrière est supérieure à celle du T à l'avant de manière à former, à l'arrière et à l'avant, deux lignes de fond transversales qui ont une extension transversale sensiblement équivalente.If the second bottom line is formed by a single incision, in principle on the back side, this second bottom line after lateral extension of the incision is substantially a rectilinear or slightly arcuate transverse line. Advantageously, the length of the cutout at the rear is greater than that of the T at the front so as to form, at the rear and at the front, two transverse bottom lines which have a substantially equivalent transverse extension.

Dans une variante de ce même second mode de réalisation, on peut prévoir que la seconde ligne de fond soit également formée par deux incisions formant un T, auquel cas il se forme par extension une ligne de fond sensiblement ressemblante à la première ligne de fond, avec un bord bas de part et d'autre d'une partie centrale plus haute. Les bords bas en regard des deux lignes de fond sont cousus l'un à l'autre, et la pièce centrale séparée d'entrejambe est cousue entre les parties centrales moins basses des lignes de fond en regard. Dans cette variante comme dans les autres, la longueur des deux découpes à l'avant et à l'arrière est prévue de manière à former deux lignes de fond transversales qui ont une extension transversale sensiblement équivalente.In a variant of this same second embodiment, it is possible to provide that the second bottom line is also formed by two incisions forming a T, in which case an extension substantially similar to the first bottom line is formed by extension. with a low edge on both sides of a higher central part. The bottom edges facing the two bottom lines are sewn to each other, and the separate crotch center piece is sewn between the lower central portions of the facing bottom lines. In this variant as in the others, the length of the two cutouts at the front and rear is provided to form two transverse bottom lines which have a substantially equivalent transverse extension.

Ainsi selon l'invention, on comprend que l'une au moins des deux lignes de fond obtenues par incisions et étirement latéral n'est pas exclusivement rectiligne transversale mais au contraire, quoique toujours globalement transversale, elles comprend d'une part un bord transversal bas (en une partie, par exemple centrale, ou en plusieurs parties, par exemple latérales) et d'autre part un bord haut de ligne de fond remontant plus haut que le bord bas transversal (ce bord haut étant éventuellement en deux parties, par exemple latérales, ou en une partie, par exemple centrale), ce qui fait que quand on place en regard cette ligne de fond non rectiligne avec l'autre ligne de fond, on peut coudre directement le bord bas à l'autre ligne et placer la ou les pièces d'entrejambe entre le bord haut et l'autre ligne.Thus according to the invention, it is understood that at least one of the two bottom lines obtained by incisions and lateral stretching is not exclusively rectilinear transverse but on the contrary, although still generally transverse, they comprises on the one hand a transverse edge the bottom (in one part, for example central, or in several parts, for example lateral) and on the other hand a top edge of the bottom line going up higher than the transverse bottom edge (this upper edge possibly being in two parts, for example). example side, or in a part, for example central), so that when we place facing this non-rectilinear bottom line with the other bottom line, we can directly sew the bottom edge to the other line and place the crotch piece (s) between the top edge and the other line.

On a utilisé ici le verbe « coudre », mais il est évident que ce terme ne recouvre pas que la couture avec un fil, mais toute méthode permettant d'assembler bord à bord deux pièces textiles.The word "sew" has been used here, but it is obvious that this term does not cover only stitching with a thread, but any method of joining two textile pieces side by side.

Comme dit plus haut, la seconde ligne de fond est avantageusement sensiblement rectiligne ou de forme arquée. On comprend que dans ce cas, ledit bord bas de la seconde ligne de fond s'étend sur toute la longueur de la ligne de fond.As mentioned above, the second bottom line is advantageously substantially straight or arcuate. It is understood that in this case, said bottom edge of the second bottom line extends over the entire length of the bottom line.

La première ligne de fond est avantageusement sous forme de ligne brisée.The first bottom line is advantageously in the form of a broken line.

Le bord bas de première ligne de fond (par exemple celui de la languette dans le premier mode de réalisation) peut être formé par la bordure basse du tricot circulaire lui-même, après déroulage éventuel du revers qui a été formé lors du tricotage le cas échéant, ou bien après une découpe transversale complémentaire à l'avant, entre les incisions, pour supprimer le revers.The bottom edge of the first bottom line (for example that of the tongue in the first embodiment) may be formed by the lower edge of the circular knit itself, after unwinding of the lapel which has been formed during knitting the case. appropriate, or after a complementary transversal cut in the front, between the incisions, to remove the reverse.

La ou les parties d'entrejambe sont avantageusement obtenues également par tricotage, les deux pièces (quand il y en a deux) pouvant aisément être formées à partir d'une ébauche commune, laquelle peut être obtenue à partir d'une bande découpée transversalement. La ou les parties d'entrejambe peuvent également provenir d'un autre tricot que le tricot du boxer lui-même, une autre matière de type jersey. Ces deux parties peuvent, selon leur matière, éventuellement apporter un bénéfice supplémentaire au produit : aération (matière type « mesh »), matière type anti-friction, matière traitée anti-irritation, etc.The crotch portion (s) are advantageously also obtained by knitting, the two pieces (when there are two) that can easily be formed from a common blank, which can be obtained from a transversely cut strip. The crotch portion (s) may also come from another knit fabric than the boxer knit itself, another jersey material. These two parts may, depending on their material, possibly provide an additional benefit to the product: aeration (material type "mesh"), anti-friction type material, anti-irritation treated material, etc.

L'invention concerne aussi un boxer obtenu par le procédé ci-dessus.The invention also relates to a boxer obtained by the process above.

Il s'agit d'un boxer formé dans un tube principal tricoté, comportant un avant et un arrière reliés en partie basse par un fond d'entrejambe séparant deux passages de cuisse, les parties basses de l'avant et de l'arrière se terminant par une première et une seconde ligne de fond globalement transversales entre lesquelles est cousu le fond d'entrejambe, caractérisé par une première ligne de fond globalement transversale composée d'une part d'un bord transversal bas et d'autre part d'un bord haut de ligne de fond remontant plus haut que le bord bas transversal, une seconde ligne de fond présentant au moins un bord transversal bas, en ce que ledit bord transversal bas de la première ligne de fond est cousu à une partie en regard du bord transversal bas de la seconde ligne de fond, et en ce le fond d'entrejambe est sous forme d'au moins une pièce séparée d'entrejambe cousue entre le bord haut de la première ligne de fond et une partie en regard de la seconde ligne de fond.This is a boxer formed in a main knitted tube, with a front and a back connected at the bottom by a crotch bottom separating two thigh passages, the lower parts of the front and back are terminating in a generally transverse first and second bottom line between which the crotch bottom is sewn, characterized by a generally transverse first bottom line consisting of a low transverse edge on the one hand and a lower transverse edge on the other. upper edge of the bottom line rising higher than the lower transverse edge, a second bottom line having at least one bottom transverse edge, in that said bottom transverse edge of the first bottom line is sewn to a portion opposite the edge transverse bottom of the second bottom line, and in that the crotch bottom is in the form of at least one separate crotch piece sewn between the top edge of the first bottom line and a portion opposite the second bottom line.

Dans un cas particulier de réalisation, il s'agit d'un boxer formé dans un tube principal tricoté, comportant un avant et un arrière reliés en partie basse par un fond d'entrejambe séparant deux passages de cuisse, les parties basses de l'avant et de l'arrière se terminant par une première et une seconde ligne de fond entre lesquelles est cousu le fond d'entrejambe, caractérisé par une première ligne de fond composée d'une part d'un bord de languette avant et d'autre part de deux extrémités latérales de ligne de fond remontant plus haut que le bord de languette, en ce que le fond d'entrejambe est sous forme de deux pièces d'entrejambe séparées, et en ce que ledit bord de languette avant, situé au milieu de la première ligne de fond, est cousu au milieu de la seconde ligne de fond et en ce que les deux pièces séparées d'entrejambe sont cousues entre les extrémités de la première ligne de fond et les extrémités de la seconde ligne de fond.In a particular embodiment, it is a boxer formed in a main knitted tube, having a front and a back connected at the bottom by a crotch bottom separating two thigh passages, the lower parts of the front and rear ends with a first and a second bottom line between which is sewn the crotch bottom, characterized by a first bottom line composed on the one hand of a tongue edge before and another from two lateral ends of the bottom line rising higher than the tongue edge, in that the crotch bottom is in the form of two separate crotch pieces, and in that said front tongue edge, located in the middle of the first bottom line, is sewn in the middle of the second bottom line and in that the two separate crotch pieces are sewn between the ends of the first bottom line and the ends of the second bottom line.

Les figures 4 à 8 ci-jointes montrent en détail l'opération de confection d'un boxer selon l'invention selon un premier mode de réalisation préféré. Comme selon l'art antérieur, le boxer 1 est réalisé sous forme d'un tube tricoté, avec une ceinture supérieure 2 et une bordure inférieure 3 correspondant aux futurs tours de jambe. Le tube tricoté comprend une face avant 5 et une face arrière 6. On a encore représenté en hachures sur la face avant 5 la partie 4 destinée à former la poche avant du boxer destinée à maintenir les organes génitaux. On définit sur le tube tricoté un sens vertical allant de la ceinture 2 en haut à la bordure inférieure 3 et un sens transversal, orthogonal au sens vertical, et allant d'un côté d'une face avant ou arrière à l'autre.The Figures 4 to 8 attached hereto show in detail the operation of making a boxer according to the invention according to a first preferred embodiment. As in the prior art, the boxer 1 is made under form of a knitted tube, with an upper belt 2 and a lower edge 3 corresponding to future leg turns. The knitted tube comprises a front face 5 and a rear face 6. It is further shown in hatching on the front 5 part 4 intended to form the front pocket of the boxer for holding the genitals. On the knitted tube is defined a vertical direction ranging from the belt 2 at the top to the bottom edge 3 and a transverse direction, orthogonal to the vertical direction, and going from one side of a front face or back to the other.

Selon l'invention, on procède (figures 4 et 5) à une opération de coupe créant deux incisions parallèles verticales 7 et 7' à l'avant 5 du boxer 1 : ces incisions ont des bords 10, 11 et 10', 11' et forment une languette 14 présentant un bord inférieur ou bord bas 16. Le bord inférieur 16 peut être directement le bord du tube tricoté si le revers n'est pas encore formé, ou être le bord de la languette 14 après démontage du revers, ou encore - et de préférence - être obtenu par raccourcissement de la languette 14 au moyen d'une découpe transversale supplémentaire (non représentée) entre les deux incisions 7, 7'. En pratique, la partie de galbe 4 peut avantageusement descendre plus bas qu'on ne l'a représenté sur les figures 4 et 8 (pour éviter d'en embrouiller la lecture) et venir dans la languette 14 entre les deux bords 11, 11' et quasiment jusqu'à son bord bas pour assurer plus de confort aux organes génitaux.According to the invention, Figures 4 and 5 ) to a cutting operation creating two vertical parallel incisions 7 and 7 'at the front 5 of the boxer 1: these incisions have edges 10, 11 and 10', 11 'and form a tongue 14 having a lower edge or low edge 16. The lower edge 16 may be directly the edge of the knitted tube if the reverse is not yet formed, or be the edge of the tongue 14 after disassembly of the back, or - and preferably - be obtained by shortening the tongue 14 by means of an additional transverse cutout (not shown) between the two incisions 7, 7 '. In practice, the portion of the curve 4 can advantageously descend lower than it has been shown on the figures 4 and 8 (To avoid muddling the reading) and come in the tongue 14 between the two edges 11, 11 'and almost to its lower edge to provide greater comfort to the genitals.

On procède à l'arrière 6 du tube tricoté à une incision centrale verticale 8, créant deux bords 12, 13.The rear 6 of the knitted tube is made at a vertical central incision 8, creating two edges 12, 13.

On a aussi préparé, de préférence dans un tricot, deux pièces latérales d'entrejambe 15, 15' dans une seule pièce 17 représentée figure 6, qui peut être.elle-même obtenue par découpe d'une bande tricotée longue. La pièce 17 comporte sur ses deux bords des bordures 23, 23' à revers correspondant aux parties 3 du tricot tubulaire 1 destinées à former le passage de cuisse. Une découpe oblique 18 permet de former à partir de la pièce 17 deux pièces 15, et 15' symétriques en trapèzes rectangles. La pièce 15, représentée sur la figure 7, comporte, outre son bord renforcé 23, des bords parallèles 1510 et 1513 et un bord oblique 1511.It has also been prepared, preferably in a knit fabric, two crotch side pieces 15, 15 'in a single piece 17 shown figure 6 which can itself be obtained by cutting a long knitted strip. The piece 17 has on its two edges 23 23 'curbs corresponding to the corresponding parts 3 of the tubular knit 1 intended to form the thigh passage. An oblique cutout 18 makes it possible to form from the piece 17 two symmetrical pieces 15 and 15 'in right trapezes. Exhibit 15, shown on the figure 7 , comprises, in addition to its reinforced edge 23, parallel edges 1510 and 1513 and an oblique edge 1511.

On passe ensuite à la couture des pièces d'entrejambe 15, 15' sur le tube tricoté. Pour cela, on écarte latéralement, dans la direction transversale, chaque incision 7, 7' de manière à mettre les bords 10, 11 et 10', 11' sensiblement dans la forme représentée en figure 8, où ils font un angle obtus entre eux, avec toujours la languette 14 entre eux et le bord 16 de celle-ci en partie basse. Ces éléments forment une ligne de fond avant brisée 10, 11, 16, 11', 10', dans laquelle le bord 16 est un bord bas et les parties 10, 11, 11', 10' un bord haut (par rapport au bord bas). Dans le même temps, on écarte l'incision 8 de manière à mettre les bords 12, 13 sensiblement dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre, comme représenté, de manière à former une ligne de fond arrière 12, 13 pratiquement rectiligne.The crotch parts 15, 15 'are then sewn onto the knitted tube. For this, one moves aside laterally, in the transverse direction, each incision 7, 7 'so as to put the edges 10, 11 and 10', 11 ' substantially in the form shown in figure 8 , where they make an obtuse angle between them, always with the tongue 14 between them and the edge 16 thereof at the bottom. These elements form a broken front seam 10, 11, 16, 11 ', 10', in which the edge 16 is a low edge and the portions 10, 11, 11 ', 10' have a high edge (with respect to the edge low). At the same time, the incision 8 is spaced apart so as to bring the edges 12, 13 substantially in line with one another, as shown, so as to form a substantially rectilinear rear bottom line 12, 13.

On coud alors le bord bas 16 au milieu la ligne de fond arrière 12, 13, dans la partie en regard du bord bas 16, et on rapporte et on coud les trapèzes latéraux d'entrejambe 15, 15' entre les parties latérales de ligne de fond avant 10, 11 et 10', 11' constituant le bord haut et les extrémités de la ligne de fond arrière 12, 13. Les trapèzes latéraux d'entrejambe 15, 15' participent donc à la constitution de chaque tour de cuisse 19 par le bord renforcé 23, 23'.The bottom edge 16 is then sewn in the middle of the rear bottom line 12, 13, in the part facing the bottom edge 16, and the lateral crotch trapezes 15 and 15 'are connected and sewn between the lateral parts of the line. 10, 11 and 10 'front bottom, 11' constituting the high edge and the ends of the rear bottom line 12, 13. The lateral crotch trapezoids 15, 15 'therefore participate in the constitution of each thigh turn 19 by the reinforced edge 23, 23 '.

La forme des pièces latérales d'entrejambe 15, 15' n'est pas limitée au trapèze. Ces pièces peuvent être aussi triangulaires, ou d'autre forme, et leurs bords ne sont pas nécessairement rectilignes, mais peuvent être courbes. De même, la ligne de fond arrière 12, 13 représentée rectiligne sur la figure 8 peut être arquée, curviligne ou brisée.The shape of the crotch side pieces 15, 15 'is not limited to the trapezium. These pieces may also be triangular, or other shapes, and their edges are not necessarily straight, but may be curved. Similarly, the rear bottom line 12, 13 shown rectilinear on the figure 8 can be arched, curvilinear or broken.

On a représenté sur la figure 9 un exemple de boxer obtenu conformément à l'invention. On y voit les pièces latérales d'entrejambe 15, 15', placées vers l'intérieur et l'avant de chaque cuisse. Le bord avant 16 forme avec la ligne de fond arrière 12, 13 une couture 20 qui s'étend plus ou moins en arc entre les cuisses ; il part de cette couture 20 deux branches de couture cousant les pièces latérales 15, 15' au niveau des bords 10, 11, 10', 11'. Le fait que le bord avant 16 rejoigne la ligne de fond arrière 12, 13 située en arrière permet de reporter vers l'arrière la couture et l'inconfort en résultant dans une zone moins sensible, ce qui contribue significativement au confort amélioré du boxer de l'invention.We have shown on the figure 9 an example of boxer obtained according to the invention. It shows the side crotch parts 15, 15 ', placed inwardly and the front of each thigh. The front edge 16 forms with the rear bottom line 12, 13 a seam 20 which extends more or less in an arc between the thighs; it starts from this seam 20 two stitching branches stitching the side pieces 15, 15 'at the edges 10, 11, 10', 11 '. The fact that the front edge 16 joins the rear bottom line 12, 13 located behind allows to shift the seam and the resulting discomfort in a less sensitive area, which contributes significantly to the improved comfort of the boxer. the invention.

L'invention se combine particulièrement bien à une réalisation de la partie galbée avant sous forme de zone 4 plus ou moins ovale entourée par une zone marginale périphérique 21 réalisée dans une maille différente de celle de la zone 4, avantageusement une maille plus élastique (module d'élasticité plus élevé).The invention combines particularly well with an embodiment of the curved front part in the form of a more or less oval zone 4 surrounded by a peripheral marginal zone 21 made in a mesh different from that of the zone 4, advantageously a more elastic mesh (module higher elasticity).

On a décrit sur les figures 4 à 8 en détail le mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention, mais on va voir sur les figures 10 à 13 qu'on peut sans sortir de l'esprit de l'invention apporter plusieurs modifications à ce qui a été décrit, selon la façon exacte dont sont faites les deux incisions sur la face qui les reçoit, et sur le nombre d'incisions sur l'autre face. Les figures sont très schématiques pour permettre de comprendre facilement le principe des modifications. Le tube 1 est représenté avec ses faces avant 5 et arrière 6, soit en perspective, soit vu de dessous après assemblage de l'entrejambe.We have described on Figures 4 to 8 in detail the preferred embodiment of the invention, but we will see on the Figures 10 to 13 that we can without departing from the spirit of the invention make several modifications to what has been described, according to the exact way in which are made the two incisions on the face which receives them, and on the number of incisions on the 'other face. The figures are very schematic to easily understand the principle of modifications. The tube 1 is shown with its front faces 5 and rear 6, either in perspective or seen from below after assembly of the crotch.

On a repris sur les figures 10A et 10'A la construction de base des figures 4-5 et 8, avec deux incisions verticales symétriques 7, 7' à l'avant et une 8 au milieu à l'arrière, qui permettent d'obtenir une ligne de fond globalement transversale à l'avant formée d'un bord bas 16 central et d'un bord haut double latéral 10, 10' (on néglige la partie verticale qui passe de l'un à l'autre). Cette ligne de fond avant coopère avec une ligne de fond arrière sensiblement rectiligne à laquelle elle est directement cousue au niveau du bord bas 16, et reliée par l'intermédiaire des pièces d'entrejambes 15, 15' sur les extrémités.We took over Figures 10A and 10'A basic construction of Figures 4-5 and 8 , with two symmetrical vertical incisions 7, 7 'at the front and 8 at the middle at the rear, which make it possible to obtain a generally transverse bottom line at the front formed of a central low edge 16 and a double side top edge 10, 10 '(neglecting the vertical part that passes from one to the other). This front bottom line cooperates with a substantially rectilinear rear bottom line to which it is directly sewn at the bottom edge 16, and connected through the crotch parts 15, 15 'on the ends.

Les variations des figures 10B et 10C se distinguent par la position symétrique légèrement oblique des incisions avant 7, 7'.Variations of Figures 10B and 10C are distinguished by the slightly oblique symmetrical position of the incisions before 7, 7 '.

Selon les figures 11A et 11'A, on a prévu deux incisions verticales symétriques 7, 7' à l'avant et 8, 8' à l'arrière, d'où il résulte deux lignes de fond assez semblables avant et arrière qui sont cousues l'une à l'autre directement par leur bord bas 16 et sur les côtés par l'intermédiaire des pièces séparées d'entrejambe 15, 15'.According to Figures 11A and 11'A two symmetrical vertical incisions 7, 7 'are provided at the front and 8, 8' at the rear, resulting in two fairly similar front and back lines which are sewn together. directly by their bottom edge 16 and on the sides through the separate crotch parts 15, 15 '.

Les variations des figures 11B et 11C se distinguent par la position symétrique légèrement oblique des incisions avant 7, 7'.Variations of Figures 11B and 11C are distinguished by the slightly oblique symmetrical position of the incisions before 7, 7 '.

Selon les figures 12A et 12'A, on a prévu un incision 8 verticale centrale à l'arrière, et deux incisions en forme de T central, 7, 7' à l'avant, d'où il résulte que la ligne de fond arrière est encore rectiligne et que la ligne de fond avant se caractérise par un bord bas 16 rejeté sur les côtés tandis que son bord haut 10 directement formé par l'incision 7' est central. Le bord bas 10 aux extrémités est cousu directement à la partie en regard de la ligne de fond arrière, tandis que le bord haut central 10 est cousu à la partie en regard de la ligne de fond arrière par l'intermédiaire de la pièce d'entrejambe séparée centrale 15.According to Figures 12A and 12'A a central vertical rear incision 8 is provided, and two central T-shaped incisions 7, 7 'at the front, whereby the rear bottom line is still rectilinear and the line front bottom is characterized by a low edge 16 rejected on the sides while its high edge 10 directly formed by the incision 7 'is central. The low edge 10 at the ends is sewn directly to the part opposite the rear bottom line, while the central high edge 10 is stitched to the part opposite the rear bottom line through the central separate crotch piece 15.

Les variations des figures 12B et 12C se distinguent par la forme courbe ou oblique des branches du T, c'est-à-dire de la seconde incision 7', qui conduit comme on le voit sur le figure 12'C à une forme légèrement modifiée du bord haut 10 et donc de la pièce séparée d'entrejambe 15.Variations of Figures 12B and 12C are distinguished by the curved or oblique shape of the branches of the T, that is to say the second incision 7 ', which leads as seen on the figure 12'C to a slightly modified shape of the top edge 10 and thus of the separate crotch piece 15.

Selon les figures 13A et 13'A, on a prévu à l'avant et à l'arrière une incision double en T 7, 7' et 8, 8', ce qui conduit à deux lignes de fond de forme identiques qui seront cousues bord à bord au niveau de leur parties d'extrémité formant le bord bas 16 et par l'intermédiaire d'une pièce centrale d'entrejambe 15 au niveau de leur bord haut 10.According to Figures 13A and 13'A a double T-shaped incision 7, 7 'and 8, 8' is provided at the front and rear, which leads to two identical shaped bottom lines which will be sewn edge-to-edge at their parts. end forming the bottom edge 16 and via a crotch central part 15 at their high edge 10.

Les variations des figures 13B et 13C se distinguent à nouveau par la forme courbe ou oblique des branches du T, c'est-à-dire de là seconde incision 7',8' des incisions de la face avant et arrière, qui conduit comme on le voit sur le figure 13'C à une forme légèrement modifiée du bord haut 10 et donc de la pièce séparée d'entrejambe 15.Variations of Figures 13B and 13C are distinguished again by the curved or oblique shape of the branches of the T, that is to say from the second incision 7 ', 8' incisions of the front and rear face, which leads as seen on the figure 13'C to a slightly modified shape of the top edge 10 and thus of the separate crotch piece 15.
