Description

Technical area

The present invention relates to a self-supporting garment according to the preamble of main claim 1.

State of the art

From the state of the art are among the wearable in the public not dimensionally stable, in the worn state self-contained or self-supporting, the lower body laterally uncovering clothing pieces similar to the type mentioned already known in different versions. Such garments cover with closed versions to a certain, depending on the version varying proportion buttocks, buttocks and the sides of the lower body. Other designs are only to be worn as underwear or under or with other garments, are used in the medical field, or serve as holders for other garments.

Other features of the prior art are shown below from the following description of embodiments with reference to the drawings.

• Fig. 1 einen T- oder G-String mit geschnürten Trägern als Verschluss zur Öffnung;
• Fig. 2 einen String Tanga;
• Fig. 3 einen Delta- oder V-String;
• Fig. 4 einen C-String.

In the drawings show:

• Fig. 1 a T or G string with laced straps as a closure to the opening;
• Fig. 2 a thong thong;
• Fig. 3 a delta or V string;
• Fig. 4 a C string.

Like from the Fig. 1-3 it can be seen, in known garments a running between the legs band 2 is provided, which is optionally releasably connected front and rear with a circulating around the outside of the body support 1 of the garment. Since the carrier 1 and / or the band 2 itself are not dimensionally stable and are not dimensionally stable connected, the running between the legs band 2 would fall down, if there was no connection, and forward or back like a unilaterally suspended thread, if the band 2 would only be connected at one end to the circulating carrier 1 on the opposite side. An exception is only the so-called C-string, which in Fig. 4 is shown, which covered over a band 2 only the zone between the legs and builds up a voltage between the legs to avoid falling through its construction. Thus, it consists only of a volume 2. While T and G strings have always been worn, the origin of the V (or delta) string with its delta-shaped, textile-free triangle on the coccyx is unknown. For example, a C string is in the US 2004 0 064 872 A1 described.

The width and shape of the carrier 1 and bands 2 are variable depending on the version ( Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 ). Except for the C-string (see in Fig. 4 ) These are not dimensionally stable, but usually consist only of non-dimensionally stable carriers 1 any width and shape. The material is usually a fabric or other material that adapts to the body. In the Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 Shaped forms arise only by the concern to the body of the person wearing it, whereby the substance is stretched to fit the body size. This tension prevents slipping down. In the unworn state, the mapped shape except for the C-string is in Fig. 4 unavailable.

It is characteristic that either - as in the C string in Fig. 4 - Only one sole, self-supporting volume 2 exists, or carrier 1 and Volume 2 - as in the Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 shown - optionally releasably connected front and rear, otherwise the band 2 between the legs would fall down. If a carrier 1 exists, which circulates around the body, then it is always closed when worn ( Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 ; possibly open by means of one or more closures 3, as in Fig. 1 shown; they may be mounted at the front, side or rear inside the carrier 1, or also below inside the band 2).

It is thus known to keep a circulating carrier 1 in the worn state always closed and to connect a band 2 including crotch part between the legs front and back with a circulating carrier 1 ( Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 ). The front and rear connection between the carrier 1 and the band 2 is for the function (concealment of the body regions to be covered) in the embodiments Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 imperative to prevent falling off the belt 2. When running in Fig. 4 In the case of the prior art drop, the hold results from a tension between the legs generated by the material of the band 2.

The lower parts, which also cover the sides more or less, can only be put on and taken off by the wearer in non-opening models on her legs and undresses. For openable models, such as buttons, hooks, zippers or cords - such as 3 in Fig. 1 - the garment must be opened or removed to be put on or taken off and also pulled on and off via the legs. Only the C string in Fig. 4 can be removed directly, but does not cover the sides so that the wearer looks undressed from the sides. In addition, there is no security against slipping or falling in case of insufficient tension through the band 2.

This in US Pat. No. 6,012,168 described garment always looks front and rear closed because the supporting band similar to a belt to completely enclose the body (although it may not be closed by a closure 3). This requires an encircle of the body. The aim is to loosely cover the buttocks of a patient as the front half of the body is covered by another garment. This garment therefore does not cover the crotch area itself. Since the crotch area itself is not covered and the buttocks are covered only by a hanging cloth rag, the veiling is not ensured, for example in the case of a gust of wind. Thus, this garment can not be worn in public, possibly in combination with another garment.

DE 20 2010 004 721 U1 describes a pantie which does not cover the buttocks, which is held by a pair of independent "scaffolding parts" made of a resilient material, consisting of an upper front temple around the pelvis and an opposite posterior temple below the pelvis Buttocks around the legs, which are both connected by a non-rigid textile fabric strips connecting them, so that the garment as a whole is also not dimensionally stable. The upper bar is closed by the strap over the body by an elastic closure piece, so that the garment is also not open at the top. This panty can not be worn because already when walking only one half of the lower bracket can rest below the buttocks, as when walking (and running) one leg moves backwards and one leg forwards away from the pelvis, so that Consequently, the forward moving leg inevitably loses contact with the lower bracket.

When spreading the legs, even both sides of the lower temple lose contact with the legs when the legs are spread wider than the lower temple is wide. The same applies to sitting, since then the legs have an angle of 90 degrees to the front of the upper body (when standing 180 degrees) and the lower bracket on both sides due to the then much shorter distance between the two brackets each other over the distance when standing no body contact can have more unless the fabric is extremely biased. Then again, it would contract so much when standing because of the then greater distance of the bracket that they would very press or even cut into the meat. If the textile connector becomes wet, it usually becomes unstable, expands and loses its elasticity, and the lower bracket will slip off or fall off altogether. It would also fall off while swimming. The spreading and other, complicated movements of the legs during breaststroke, it can not follow the design, but it would have to, because the attitude is done below the buttocks on the moving legs. Crawling equals the walking / running of the legs. Again, it can not last. Thus, a garment according to this design holds at best standing up; while sitting, walking, crawling in the water as well as all sports that require a spreading of the legs (all ball sports (tennis, football, (beach) volleyball, etc.), breast / back swimming, surfing, etc.) or if it keeps wet due to the design Not.

DE 20 2004 010 174 U1 describes in addition to bikini tops essentially extended, complicated structure / structured, multi-part C-strings with additional holders / struts and recesses. This garment comprises at least two supports connected directly or by means of a front crotch part and / or by means of a back cover, the supports being made of a dimensionally stable and elastic material and having a non-end front upper support divided on the sides of a triangular frame , DE 20 2004 010 174 U1 Requires for safe hold of the garment mandatory holder (projections) on the buttocks by either different, outwardly curved "stripe processes" or "tail sections" on the buttocks should cause the stop in the horizontal direction. The bent down / up components increase the risk of injury to the wearer when they slip and no longer rest flat on the skin, but for example, in falls or other externally applied to them pressures in the skin and / or pressed on / in organs become. US 5,367,715 A describes a C-string with back straps also on the buttocks, quasi a subset of the constructions in DE 20 2004 010 174 U1 , while US 2004 0 064 872 A1 describes a today almost common C-string without upper holder approximately in its original form.

The US 5 347 657 A shows a two-piece swim suit bottom (swim suit bottom), the bottom of which is made of fabric, the front end by means of a removable, double-sided adhesive tape or the like attached to the skin, that is glued directly to the skin. On the reverse side, the fabric is connected to an overlying, horizontally biased belt around the lower body, arcuate, open at the front band. Since the middle piece of fabric is not dimensionally stable, there is no defined shape of the pants. With strong tension of the fabric by a corresponding adhesive position of the front end of the bar is down the back and thereby pulled up the front. If the fabric is only loosely stretched by the splice, it can slip. Since the fabric partially rests on both sides of the buttocks, it is also in movements of the wearer moves and tears / tears at the top of the carrier so that it inevitably has to slip after the first movements. Likewise, sitting, since there is the distance from the rear bracket to the front splice opposite when standing by the support of the fabric on the rear is larger and thus the fabric is stretched while sitting stronger, the traction downwards on the rear support increases.

The disadvantages of the previous solutions - especially in the Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 solutions presented - consist first of all in that they can not be removed from the front or rear without the involvement of the legs at the on and pulling out or only after opening of closures 3, if not on a protection against slipping as in Fig. 4 is waived. Without giving up a safe attitude - as in Fig. 4 - is also in Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 due to the encircling support 1 and its connection front and rear with the band 2 between the legs neither a free butt still a free belly possible and also no partial free butt / back together with a partially free belly. A free removability after Fig. 4 in addition to the lack of protection against slipping by a strap, however, that the sides of the body are completely uncovered, the wearer thus considered unclothed viewed from the side of the lower body. The construction after Fig. 4 also enforces the simultaneous uncovering of buttocks and back and stomach as well as the body sides, a choice of free butt or free belly or alternatively a free side or partially free sides is not possible. DE 20 2010 004 721 U1 demonstrably does not hold on to movements, so it is a faulty construction that does not fulfill its intended function, DE 20 2004 010 174 U1 holds with safe hold injury hazards, among others by the on-Po components.

Presentation of the invention

The present invention is based on the object to provide a garment for the lower body, which eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages and which is suitable without involvement of the legs and be able to be pulled out, thereby allowing a partially free stomach and / or butt while covering at least one side of the body without running in the worn state, especially during movement, risk to unintentionally exposed by the garment covered body parts and in addition partially covered abdomen and back due to its construction to prevent unwanted tearing forwards or backwards mechanically. It should also ensure at least a partially covered body side (for example, as beach / swimwear or underwear) sufficient coverage of the lower body and yet - depending on the configuration - at the same time by a completely or partially free Po or a completely or partially free belly or at the same time partially free butt and abdomen, for example, allow new fashionable variants.

According to the invention the above object is achieved according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the item of clothing according to the invention are specified in the dependent subclaims.

The present item of clothing comprises at least three supports interconnected at at least one front and rear connection point directly or by means of a front step portion and / or by means of a rear cover, wherein the supports and the connection points are made of a dimensionally stable and elastic material.

According to the garment is characterized in that an upper, front, resting on the pelvis, carrying carrier and an upper, rear, lying on the pelvis, carrying carrier with their each on one side beyond the lateral center of the body, open end in each case together with a the Carrier at its other end connecting between the legs, lower support each lie on both or one body side under tension on the body, wherein due to the dimensional stability and elasticity of the material used for the three carriers and their two connection points both slipping and falling of the garment is prevented even during body movements, as well as an unwanted withdrawal to the front or rear is mechanically counteracted and yet through the opening in front and Rear is a tightening by attaching from below and pulling down the garment is made possible.

In an upper supporting beam, the two free ends of which are not connected to each other in contrast to the known in the prior art, free and band-like straps. In the lower carrier only one end in the front or rear is connected to the one upper carrier in this embodiment, the second end thus unconnected and free.

In two separate upper supporting straps are also in contrast to the known in the prior art, free and band-like straps in the preferred embodiment not or optionally selbstverbindend and self-releasing connected to each other and enclose the body sides once from the front and even from behind. If the two free ends of the upper supports enclose the body on a common body side (right or left), then in an alternative embodiment they can also be detachably connected in the worn state by means of closures.

The carriers are shaped so as to provide the necessary support, firm positioning of the carrier is allowed to each other, wherein the carrier may be broken down depending on the version / mehrstrebig and may have any shape, width, length, thickness, color and transparency. Both the supports and their connection points, the optional crotch part and the optional back cover, as well as all other parts provided on the garment, consist of one or more materials combined together which can be of any shape, provided the necessary support of the garment is ensured on the body and the predetermined by the construction cover the desired body parts.

Embodiment of the invention

The FIGS. 5 to 12 (as part of the invention) and the FIGS. 13 to 28 show the garment in the tightened state. This is due to the dimensional stability in the preferred embodiment, almost identical to the unattached state. Since the wearer must maintain a necessary tension for contact with the body, they are pulled together more strongly in the extended state. If the elasticity of the material is chosen according to a further embodiment, the garment can also be collapsed / folded, for example, for packaging, if it still has the necessary holding voltage in the "unwrapped", worn and thus applied to the body state.

The garment itself consists of a single (4) upper or a front (9) and a rear (10) upper supporting support and a lower support (5 or 11) connected thereto, each upper support being located at exactly one point (6) or 7 or 12 and 13) in the vicinity of the body center is connected to the lower support (5 or 11). Shape, length, thickness and width of all carriers (4,5 or 9,10,11) are variable according to the configuration of the body zones to be covered and the design, as long as the function remains ensured. Thus, as stated, the two ends of the upper beams (4, 9, 10, respectively) may abut each other, overlap, etc., unless they are connected.

An optional step part 8 or 14 can either be used as connection between carrier 4 and 5 (FIG. FIGS. 9 and 10 ) or 9 and 11 ( FIGS. 17 to 20 . FIGS. 23, 24, 27 and 28 ) may be attached or connected to the open end of the lower beam 5 ( 11 and FIG. 12 ) or optionally on the front of the carrier 5 or 11 are placed, if the garment only two ( Fig. 5 to Fig. 8 ) or three ( FIGS. 13 to 16 . 21, 22, 25 and 26 ) Carriers. If a separate step part 8 or 14 is lacking, a lower support 5 shaped in accordance with the cover requirements takes over (FIG. Fig. 5 to Fig. 8 ) or 11 ( FIGS. 13 to 16 . 21, 22, 25 and 26 ) The cover of the step itself. In the embodiment with three straps can also be the bottom support 11 back to the top support 10 through or inserted between them a separate cover 15 for the butt / back. The rear cover can also be placed only on the lower carrier 11.

If the ends of the front upper 9 and rear 10 upper beams on one side of the body collide with three straps, both can optionally be releasably connected together by a closure 16, the closure 16 preferably closing automatically upon contact of the two beam ends due to their predetermined shape and position and should be self-opening on train ( FIGS. 25 to 28 ).

In a further embodiment, the optional closure 16 may also consist of one or more buttons, hooks, catches and zips.

As first off FIG. 5 to FIG. 12 (as not part of the invention), in the embodiment of the garment having an upper supporting beam 4, either front or rear, there is no connection between the upper beam 4 and the lower beam 5 extending between the legs (as shown in Figs Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 ). Due to the unilateral lack of connection between the two straps 4,5, the garment from the open, opposite side can be placed or removed by the elasticity of the carrier.

How out FIGS. 13 to 28 it can be seen, in the garment according to the invention with two upper supporting straps 9,10 of the front upper support 9 on the front side connected at one end to the lower support 11, the rear upper support 10 rear also with one end to the lower support eleventh The lower support 11 always runs between the legs. Due to the one-sided missing connection between the other ends of the two upper straps 9,10, the garment between the legs by the elasticity of the carrier can be placed up or pulled down. The ends of the two upper supports 9, 10 connected to the lower support 11 may also extend beyond the connection points 12, 13.

By the case of an upper support 4 opposite the separation still existing direct front (6) or rear (7) connection between the supports 4,5 or by means of the optional step portion 8 between them, these are still held together, since the stability of the material of all components one ensures firm grip of the carrier 4,5 on the body. Thereby, the upper carrier 4 is held in position by the lower carrier 5 and the lower carrier 5 can not fall off.

Likewise, in the case of two upper beams 9 and 11, the front connection 12 between the beams 9, 11 and the rear joint 13 between the beams 10, 11 or the optional step part 14 between the beams 9, 11 and the optional rear cover, respectively, are present 15 between the carriers 10,11 this also held together, as well as the stability of the material of all components ensures a firm grip of the carrier 9,10,11 on the body. The upper beams 9, 10 are held by the lower beam 11 on the body, and the lower beam 11 can not fall down again due to the hold by the upper beams 9, 10.

The lower beam 5 and 11 therefore requires no or only a smaller lateral tension between the legs to hold. Form and hold of the entire construction result from the chosen according to the task strength and elasticity of the material for the two carriers 4,5 and the three carriers 9,10,11 and their connection point (s) 7 or 6 or 12 and 13th as well as the optional components front step part and back cover.

The stop before dropping down of the lower carrier located between the legs 5 and 11 is therefore due to the sufficient dimensional stability of the partially encircling upper support 4 and 9,10 and their connection point (e) 7 (FIG. FIG. 5 to FIG. 12 ) or 12,13 ( FIGS. 13 to 28 ) is ensured with the lower carrier 5 and 11 respectively. The grip on the body ensures the rigidity and dimensional stability with sufficient elasticity of the carrier 4,5 or 9,10,11 due to their material, which prevents slipping or loosening. The sufficient dimensional stability of the lower support 5 also ensures that it does not hang like a unilaterally suspended thread down, but always rests between the legs on the body. Prerequisite for the firm hold of the garment in total against falling down is only that both ends of the upper support 4 go beyond both lateral body centers or the respective outer ends of the upper support 9,10 also go beyond the lateral body centers, thus minimizing the body a little further than partially enclose a lateral body center as in FIGS. 6, 8, 10, and 12 or. FIGS. 14, 16, 18 . FIGS. 20 to 24 are shown or connected together in two non-preferred embodiment of two upper carrier ( FIGS. 25 to 28 ). The more pronounced the pelvis depending on the seat of the carrier 4 or 9,10 (in the preferred embodiment, Fig. 5 to Fig. 24 ), the more the two wearer ends tend to go at least beyond the lateral center of the body ( 5 ", FIGS. 7, 9 and 11 or. FIGS. 13, 15, 17, 19 ). Prerequisite for the concern of the body is at an upper support 4, that the lower support 5 also goes beyond the body center and two upper supports 9,10, that the lower support 11 connects both upper support 9,10 between the legs.

Width, length, thickness and shape (as well as an optional breakdown / multi-brace) of the respective beams 4.5 in FIG. 5 to FIG. 12 or 9,10,11 in FIGS. 13 to 28 can be arbitrary if the functionality remains guaranteed. The upper support 4 or 9,10 do not have to enclose the body horizontally, they can ensure a firm hold in any other position. The lower beams 5 and 11 need not connect at right angles and perpendicularly downwards to the upper beams 4 and 9, 10, respectively, but can be placed anywhere on the closed side of the upper beam 4, or forward with the front upper beams 9 and rear be connected / connected with the rear upper support 10 and run obliquely downwards so that they can pass centrally between the legs and cover the required body zones.

The supports 4,5 or 9,10,11 and the optional step parts 8 and 14 and / or the optional rear cover 15 can in a further embodiment by closures, adhesive, plug or other connections releasably connected to the connection points. 7 or 6 or 12 and / or 13, for example, to require less space in the extended state by separation of the garment into its components, provided that the required dimensional stability and elasticity of the garment preserved. This can also be achieved in addition or by appropriate joints and / or in that components are pushed together or folded accordingly.

The carrier 4 and 5 and the optional step portion 8 may be made in a further embodiment also in one piece.

Likewise, the carriers 9, 10, 11, the optional crotch part 14 and the optional rear cover 15 can also be made all together or only several together from a single piece in a further embodiment.

Depending on the material, design and shape, the wearers 4.5 or 9, 10, 11 follow possible body extensions (eg when breathing, drawing in the abdomen, etc.). Proper design ensures that the areas of the body to be covered remain covered during permitted movements of the wearer or wearer.

As a material, for example, preferably plastic or metal but also fabrics or fabrics with or without (partial) (fabric) coating into consideration. The materials may be provided with imprints, ornaments or other configurations, provided that they have the desired dimensional stability.

The invention allows for an upper support 4 ( FIG. 5 to FIG. 12 ) By the one-sided opening front or rear by the missing connection between the straps 4,5 and the non-continuous upper support 4 first on and off by attaching and removing the garment from the opposite side without closures and without them over the legs would be deducted.

In the case of two upper supports 9 and 10, the invention allows the front and rear openings on both sides to be pulled on and off first by being attached from underneath and pulled downwards in the preferred embodiment ( FIGS. 13 to 24 ) without opening closures and prevented by each one front and rear support mechanically peeling from the front or rear. In the further embodiment ( FIGS. 25 to 28 ), the garment can be pulled down or plugged down after opening of the closure 16 and the closure 16 are closed.

For this purpose, the present item of clothing allows for an upper support 4 for the first time depending on the position of the opening a free butt / back or a free belly, without completely free, "bare" pages ( FIG. 5 to FIG. 12 ). In addition, the present garment allows for two upper straps 9 and 10 for the first time at the same time a partially free butt and back and a partially free stomach, without completely free, "naked" body side in the versions with a right and a left carrier ( FIGS. 13 to 20 ) or only a free body side in the embodiments in 21 to FIG. 28 , Reasons can be in both versions aesthetic, fashionable reasons as well as practical reasons (seamless tanning of the buttocks or abdomen).

The garment according to the invention allows new shapes and designs while always ensuring protection against exposure of the area between the legs, which were previously not possible. In an upper carrier 4 pants or cropped pants, at the same time completely or partially covered body sides. In two upper straps 9,10 at the same time partially po- / back or belly-free pants, at the same time at least one fully or partially covered body side and secure protection against exposure of the area between the legs.

If a pelvic / abdominal freedom is not desired, the upper support 4 can be completely circumferential, as long as the ends only abut or overlap one another, but are not connected by a closure. Likewise, the upper support 4 can also touch the lower support 5 in the connection-free area, without being connected to it - for example, by a connecting means - so that placement and removal without opening guaranteed by closures or over the legs. Likewise, the upper carrier 9,10 in the preferred embodiment according to FIGS. 13 to 20 be completely circumferential, provided that their ends only abut or overlap, but not connected by a closure, so that the placement and removal is ensured without opening of closures or over the legs. The other versions FIGS. 25 to 28 also allow the putting on and taking off without the help of the legs, since one side is open and the closure 16 is to open the other side.

If the two ends of the upper support 4 abut against each other or overlap or collide with the upper support 4 and lower support 5 in the connection-free area, this does not preclude the functionality, provided that they do not make a connection, ie they do not interfere with putting on and taking off , The same applies to the non-connected ends of the upper support 9,10.

For increased demands on a secure fit of the garment on the body, for example, during sporting activities such as ball games, the carrier can 4.5 or 9,10,11 and / or the optional step portion 8 and 14 and / or the optional rear Cover 15 in addition to its inner sides wholly or selectively with a skin adhering or adhesive material to be directly coated and / or adherent / adhesive elements to the skin out firmly or releasably attached.

The garment according to the invention is not limited in its execution to the above-mentioned preferred embodiments.
