Description

Objet de l'inventionObject of the invention

La présente invention concerne un sous-vêtement masculin doté d'un système de maintien et support renforcé et du procédé de réalisation de celui-ci. La présente invention concerne plus particulièrement un sous-vêtement masculin assurant un confort dans les mouvements sans comprimer les parties intimes.The present invention relates to a male undergarment having a reinforced support and support system and the method of producing the same. The present invention relates more particularly to a male underwear providing comfort in the movements without compressing the intimate parts.

Arrière-plan technologique et état de la technique à la base de l'inventionBACKGROUND AND TECHNIQUE BASED ON THE INVENTION

Le marché actuel du sous-vêtement masculin a tendance à s'orienter vers des articles qui épousent les formes du corps. Qu'il s'agisse de boxer, shorty, caleçon, slip ou autre, ils se déclinent en mode 'slim' ou moulant. Cependant, en termes de confort et de maintien, on est généralement éloigné du résultat escompté. La difficulté est d'allier un maintien et un support des parties intimes tout en assurant une grande liberté de confort dans les mouvements et cela sans comprimer lesdites parties intimes. Quelle que soit la position, le mouvement et l'environnement, cette partie du corps est soumise à de nombreuses contraintes. Ainsi, en position assise, les membres inférieurs se replient et l'espace inguinal est réduit. Les sous-vêtements moulants écrasent alors les organes génitaux créant ainsi compressions et échauffement. Les conséquences sont multiples : avec l'élévation de la température et le confinement, les risques d'infection bactérienne, d'inflammation, voire même de diminution de fertilité sont sérieux. A l'opposé, lors des mouvements, notamment lors d'activités physiques, les oscillations et autres déplacements des parties intimes, des chocs plus ou moins violents peuvent entraîner des traumatismes et de l'inconfort.The current market for men's underwear tends to focus on items that conform to body shapes. Whether boxer, shorty, underpants, underpants or other, they are available in 'slim' or skinny. However, in terms of comfort and maintenance, it is usually far from the expected result. The difficulty is to combine a support and a support of the intimate parts while providing great freedom of comfort in the movements and without compressing said intimate parts. Whatever the position, movement and environment, this part of the body is subject to many constraints. Thus, in a sitting position, the lower limbs fold and the inguinal space is reduced. The tight underwear crushes the genitals thus creating compressions and warming up. The consequences are many: with the rise in temperature and containment, the risk of bacterial infection, inflammation, or even decreased fertility are serious. In contrast, during movements, especially during physical activities, oscillations and other movements of intimate parts, shocks more or less violent can cause trauma and discomfort.

Généralement, les sous-vêtements masculins ne sont pas renforcés au niveau de la partie centrale avant qui est la partie pouvant constituer l'enveloppe de maintien et de support des parties intimes. Dans d'autres cas, cette partie centrale avant servant de coque d'accueil est pourvue de panneaux supplémentaires disposés sur l'avant qui, cependant, peinent à atteindre l'objectif de maintien et confort des parties intimes.Generally, male undergarments are not reinforced at the front central part which is the part that can constitute the envelope of support and support of the private parts. In other cases, this front central part serving as a reception shell is provided with additional panels arranged on the front which, however, have difficulty reaching the goal of maintaining and comforting the intimate parts.

En particulier, le brevet US 9375035 (Ingels ) décrit un sous-vêtement masculin, renforcé au niveau des panneaux avant et qui présente un support formé d'au moins deux éléments internes démarrant frontalement au niveau de la partie médiane avant sous la ceinture et se croisant à une distance relativement importante au-dessus de l'entrejambe et permettant ainsi de former une enveloppe servant de coque d'accueil des parties intimes. Néanmoins, ce sous-vêtement, de par sa structure-même, présente des inconvénients tels un certain inconfort et un échauffement au fil des heures. En particulier, les parties intimes seront comprimées du fait que l'enveloppe qui sert de coque d'accueil sera trop serrée et/ou trop rigide.In particular, the patent US 9375035 (Ingels ) describes a male undergarment, reinforced at the front panels and having a support formed of at least two internal elements starting frontally at the front middle portion below the belt and intersecting at a relatively large distance above crotch and thus making it possible to form an envelope serving as a hull for receiving the intimate parts. However, this underwear, by its very structure, has disadvantages such as some discomfort and heating over hours. In particular, the intimate parts will be compressed because the envelope that serves as a home shell will be too tight and / or too rigid.

A l'inverse, et ainsi que décrit dans les demandes de brevet WO 2010 128947 (Cirque Deluxe AB) et FR 2567001 (Delachaux ) qui divulguent des sous-vêtements masculins pourvus sur l'avant d'une enveloppe de support qui évite la compression des parties intimes en proposant de sur-dimensionner celle-ci ; ce type de sous vêtement risque d'être inconfortable du fait du manque de maintien. En particulier, cette enveloppe de support s'étend depuis l'entrejambe jusqu'à la ceinture et est considérée comme trop lâche ce qui génère un déplacement intempestif et trop aisé des parties intimes lors des mouvements du corps.Conversely, and as described in the patent applications WO 2010 128947 (Circus Deluxe AB) and FR 2567001 (Delachaux ) that discloses male underwear provided on the front of a support casing that avoids the compression of the private parts by proposing to oversize it; this type of underwear may be uncomfortable due to lack of support. In particular, this support envelope extends from the crotch to the waist and is considered too loose which generates an inadvertent and too easy movement of the intimate parts during the movements of the body.

On connait également par le document US2008/0178369 un produit de type boxer proposant deux hamacs placés à l'intérieur de la partie centrale du sous-vêtement, servant d'enveloppe, chacun des hamacs étant destiné à porter un testicule en l'emprisonnant. La tenue des parties intimes est donc relativement figée en particulier lors de mouvements importants dus à la pratique, par exemple, de sports. La partie inférieure du hamac est reliée à la couture la plus postérieure de la bande latérale interne des jambes et ceci par son unique extrémité.We also know from the document US2008 / 0178369 a boxer type product offering two hammocks placed inside the central part of the undergarment, serving as an envelope, each of the hammocks being intended to carry a testicle by imprisoning it. The holding of the private parts is therefore relatively fixed especially during important movements due to the practice, for example, of sports. The lower part of the hammock is connected to the most posterior seam of the internal lateral band of the legs and this by its single end.

Buts de l'inventionGoals of the invention

La présente invention vise à fournir un sous-vêtement qui ne présente pas les problèmes et inconvénients de l'état de la technique.The present invention aims to provide an undergarment that does not present the problems and disadvantages of the state of the art.

La présente invention a donc pour objectif de proposer un sous-vêtement masculin qui allie à la fois maintien et support des parties intimes, tout en garantissant un confort et cela en toutes circonstances, que le porteur dudit sous-vêtement soit dans une position active ou statique. Plus particulièrement, la présente invention décrit un sous-vêtement masculin pourvu au niveau de l'enveloppe de maintien et soutien avant d'un soufflet ou coque d'accueil permettant un confort accru des parties intimes tout en garantissant une ventilation et ceci en particulier lors de la pratique de sports intensifs.The present invention therefore aims to provide a male underwear that combines both support and support of the intimate parts, while ensuring comfort and that in all circumstances, the wearer of said underwear is in an active position or static. More particularly, the present invention describes a male undergarment provided at the level of the support and support casing before a bellows or reception shell allowing greater comfort of the intimate parts while ensuring ventilation and this especially during of intensive sports practice.

De même, la présente invention vise à proposer un sous-vêtement masculin et son procédé de fabrication qui permet de réduire le nombre de coutures à exécuter lors de la fabrication de celui-ci ce qui permettra non seulement un gain de temps, mais évitera également des frottements intempestifs dus à la surépaisseur de tissus au niveau des coutures.Similarly, the present invention aims to provide a male undergarment and its manufacturing process that reduces the number of seams to be executed during the manufacture thereof, which will not only save time, but will also avoid unwanted friction due to the extra thickness of the fabric at the seams.

Principaux éléments caractéristiques de l'inventionMain characteristic elements of the invention

La présente invention concerne un sous-vêtement masculin comprenant une ceinture sur laquelle sont apposés au moins deux panneaux symétriques l'un par rapport à l'autre permettant de réaliser la face avant du sous-vêtement, lorsqu'ils sont assemblés, avec un élément central avant qui fait fonction d'enveloppe de maintien et support des parties intimes, relié ou faisant partie d'un panneau supplémentaire servant de face arrière, lesdits panneaux et l'élément étant solidarisés à une ceinture de manière à créer deux demi-jambes.The present invention relates to a men's underwear comprising a belt on which are affixed at least two symmetrical panels with respect to one another to make the front face of the undergarment, when assembled, with an element central front which acts as a holding envelope and support of the intimate parts, connected or forming part of an additional panel serving as a rear face, said panels and the element being secured to a belt so as to create two half-legs.

On peut ainsi également envisager un seul panneau, créant une seule pièce pour les faces avant et arrière. Dans ce cas, il n'y a pas de couture latérale extérieure.One can thus also consider a single panel, creating a single piece for the front and rear faces. In this case, there is no external seam.

En outre, l'enveloppe de maintien et support comprend outre les pièces usuelles constituant cette enveloppe et éventuellement sa doublure deux pièces supplémentaires dites internes destinées à réaliser un panier ou filet interne et disposé à l'intérieur de ladite enveloppe.In addition, the holding envelope and support comprises in addition to the usual parts constituting this envelope and possibly its lining two additional internal said parts intended to provide a basket or internal thread and disposed within said envelope.

Ces pièces internes sont réalisées en un matériau présentant une maille extensible et aérée et solidarisé d'une part frontalement et de manière symétrique par rapport au plan médian à la ceinture et d'autre part directement au niveau de la zone de jonction des panneaux avant et arrière situés au niveau de l'entrejambe.These internal parts are made of a material having an extensible mesh and ventilated and secured on the one hand frontally and symmetrically with respect to the median plane to the belt and on the other hand directly at the junction area of the front panels and rear located at the crotch.

Selon l'invention, les pièces internes dudit sous-vêtement se croisent dans la zone de jonction au niveau de l'entrejambe.According to the invention, the internal parts of said undergarment intersect in the junction zone at the crotch.

Avantageusement, le taux de croisement (donc de recouvrement) entre les deux pièces jointives est compris entre 10 et 100 %, de préférence entre 20 et 80 %, et de préférence entre 20 et 60 %.Advantageously, the crossover rate (therefore overlap) between the two pieces of contact is between 10 and 100%, preferably between 20 and 80%, and preferably between 20 and 60%.

De préférence, la couture interne de l'entrejambe est décalée vers l'arrière par le prolongement des panneaux avant et la diminution des panneaux arrière, ce décalage étant d'au moins 25 %, et de préférence supérieur à 30 % de la distance d'un demi-tour de jambe/cuisse par rapport à l'axe latéral de symétrie (qui correspond le cas échéant à la couture latérale).Preferably, the inner seam of the crotch is shifted backwards by the extension of the front panels and the reduction of the rear panels, this offset being at least 25%, and preferably greater than 30% of the distance of a half-turn leg / thigh with respect to the lateral axis of symmetry (which corresponds if necessary to the lateral seam).

Avantageusement, ce décalage est de minimum 2,875 cm pour un demi-tour de jambe de 23 cm (pour une taille S) et est de minimum 3,625 cm pour un demi-tour de jambe de 29 cm (pour une taille XXL).Advantageously, this offset is at least 2,875 cm for a half-leg turn of 23 cm (for a size S) and is at least 3,625 cm for a half-leg turn of 29 cm (for a size XXL).

De préférence, les pièces internes sont solidarisées à l'élément central avant directement sur le côté le plus externe par rapport au plan médian de l'élément central avant.Preferably, the internal parts are secured to the front central element directly on the outermost side relative to the median plane of the front central element.

De préférence, le côté le plus interne par rapport au plan médian des pièces internes est maintenu libre.Preferably, the innermost side with respect to the median plane of the internal parts is kept free.

Avantageusement, les pièces internes dudit sous-vêtement masculin sont solidarisées à l'élément central avant directement sur la face la plus externe par rapport au plan médian de l'élément central avant. De façon avantageuse, la face dudit sous-vêtement masculin la plus interne, par rapport au plan médian des pièces internes, est libre.Advantageously, the internal parts of said male undergarment are secured to the front central element directly on the outermost face relative to the median plane of the front central element. Advantageously, the face of said innermost male undergarment, relative to the median plane of the internal parts, is free.

De préférence, la zone de jonction dudit sous-vêtement au niveau de la ceinture pour chacune des pièces internes ne couvre que d'environ 10% à environ 40% de la zone centrale de liaison de la ceinture de l'élément central avant.Preferably, the junction area of said undergarment at the waist for each of the inner pieces covers only from about 10% to about 40% of the central waistband of the front center member.

De manière préférée, les deux pièces internes dudit sous-vêtement sont juxtaposées au moins partiellement au niveau de la solidarisation entre le panneau arrière et l'enveloppe de maintien au niveau de la zone de jonction de l'entrejambe de telle sorte qu'un espace relativement important est ouvert ou préservé libre entre chacune des pièces internes.Preferably, the two inner parts of said undergarment are juxtaposed at least partially at the level of the connection between the rear panel and the holding envelope at the junction zone of the crotch so that a space relatively large is open or preserved free between each of the internal parts.

Description détaillée de l'inventionDetailed description of the invention

La présente invention sera décrite plus en détail dans une ou plusieurs formes d'exécution préférées de l'invention en se référant aux figures annexées et pour lesquelles des éléments ou détails peuvent être combinés ou omis. Il en est de même pour ce qui concerne une combinaison de détails repris dans les figures différentes, éventuellement avec des éléments essentiels de la présente invention.The present invention will be described in more detail in one or more preferred embodiments of the invention with reference to the accompanying figures and for which elements or details may be combined or omitted. It is the same with regard to a combination of details in the different figures, possibly with essential elements of the present invention.

Les différents éléments sont décrits pour une taille, par exemple L. Pour les autres tailles : XS, S, M, XL, XXL,... les proportions devront être adaptées en conséquence.The different elements are described for a size, for example L. For the other sizes: XS, S, M, XL, XXL, ... the proportions must be adapted accordingly.

La figure 1 décrit une vue prise par le devant (vue frontale) depuis l'extérieur du sous vêtement masculin selon une forme d'exécution de la présente invention. Dans ce cas particulier, il s'agit d'un sous-vêtement de type boxer. De manière classique ce sous-vêtement comporte une ceinture élastique (01) refermée sur elle-même par une couture (01a) qui est de préférence située à l'arrière du sous-vêtement (comme représentée à la figure 2). La ceinture peut être une simple bande mais peut être également une ceinture tubulaire et sur laquelle sont solidarisées deux demi-jambes constituées chacune par un panneau avant gauche (02a) ou droit (02b) et un panneau arrière (05) ou partie de panneau arrière (05) tel que représenté en vue arrière à la figure 2.The figure 1 describes a front view (front view) from the outside of the male undergarment according to one embodiment of the present invention. In this particular case, it is a boxer type undergarment. Conventionally this undergarment comprises an elastic belt (01) closed on itself by a seam (01a) which is preferably located at the back of the undergarment (as shown in figure 2 ). The belt may be a single band but may also be a tubular belt and on which are secured two half-legs each constituted by a left front panel (02a) or right (02b) and a rear panel (05) or rear panel portion (05) as shown in rear view at figure 2 .

On observe à la figure 1 que les deux panneaux (02a) et (02b) sont reliés entre eux par l'intermédiaire d'un panneau central avant (04), qui présente la forme d'une enveloppe (3D) et qui sert d'élément de maintien et support des parties intimes qui va se placer frontalement et au centre (selon la médiane) entre les deux panneaux avant gauche (02a) et avant droit (02b).We observe at figure 1 that the two panels (02a) and (02b) are interconnected via a front central panel (04), which is in the form of an envelope (3D) and serves as a holding element and support intimate parts that will be placed frontally and centrally (according to the median) between the two panels front left (02a) and front right (02b).

En vue de réaliser les deux demi-jambes, les deux panneaux, avant gauche (02a) et avant droit (02b), sont solidarisés respectivement par une couture latérale (03a) et (03b) à un panneau arrière (05) tel que représenté à la figure 2.In order to produce the two half-legs, the two panels, left front (02a) and front right (02b), are secured respectively by a side seam (03a) and (03b) to a rear panel (05) as shown to the figure 2 .

Selon une autre forme d'exécution (non représentée) on pourrait envisager également que le panneau arrière est séparé en deux demi panneaux éventuellement reliés entre eux par une couture centrale.According to another embodiment (not shown) one could also consider that the rear panel is separated into two half-panels possibly connected together by a central seam.

Chacun des panneaux avant (02a) ou (02b) est également solidarisé à ce panneau arrière (05) au niveau de l'entrejambe par une couture (06a) ou (06b).Each of the front panels (02a) or (02b) is also secured to the rear panel (05) at the crotch by a seam (06a) or (06b).

Ainsi que représenté à la Figure 4a, il en est de même pour la partie la plus aval du panneau central avant. La solidarisation au panneau arrière (05) se fait, par une couture (6c) située au niveau de l'entrejambe et au même niveau que les coutures (6a) et (6b). Idéalement, les coutures (06a), (06b) et (6c) sont réalisées en une seule étape.As represented in Figure 4a it is the same for the downstream part of the front central panel. The fastening to the rear panel (05) is done by a seam (6c) located at the level of the crotch and at the same level as the seams (6a) and (6b). Ideally, seams (06a), (06b) and (6c) are made in one step.

Selon les deux formes d'exécution représentées aux figures 1a et 1b, on observe au niveau de l'entrejambe : le panneau arrière (05) ou les parties de panneau arrière sont solidarisées à chacune des parties de l'entrejambe respectivement des panneaux avant gauche (02a) et panneau avant droit (02b) par une seule couture qui est de préférence légèrement décalée vers l'arrière. Cette couture est symbolisée par le repère (06).According to the two forms of execution represented figures 1a and 1b it is observed at the level of the crotch: the rear panel (05) or the rear panel parts are secured to each of the crotch parts respectively of the left front panels (02a) and front right panel (02b) by a single seam which is preferably slightly shifted backwards. This seam is symbolized by the mark (06).

La figure 1b représente une autre forme d'exécution de l'invention où l'entrejambe doit être réalisé par deux pièces supplémentaires indépendantes (16a) et (16b). Dans ce cas, 2 coutures (16c) et (16d) seront nécessaires.The figure 1b represents another embodiment of the invention where the crotch must be made by two additional independent parts (16a) and (16b). In this case, 2 seams (16c) and (16d) will be necessary.

La partie centrale avant (04) servant d'enveloppe de maintien et de support qui soutient les partie intimes lorsque le boxer ou slip sera porté est constituée d'une ou plusieurs pièces de tissu telles que représentées selon plusieurs formes d'exécution décrites aux figures 7a et 7b. En particulier, ainsi qu'on l'observera à la figure 7a selon une première forme d'exécution de la pièce de tissu mise à plat (constituant le patron) du panneau externe de l'enveloppe de maintien et de support (04) présente une forme de X ou de fourche (Y).The front central part (04) serving as a support and support envelope that supports the intimate parts when the boxer or brief is worn is made of one or more pieces of fabric as represented in several embodiments described in figures 7a and 7b . In particular, as will be seen at figure 7a according to a first embodiment of the piece of fabric laid flat (constituting the pattern) of the outer panel of the holding and support envelope (04) has a shape of X or fork (Y).

Selon une seconde forme d'exécution représentée à la figure 7b, le panneau externe de l'enveloppe de maintien et de support (04) est constitué de deux pièces distinctes qui assemblées forment un X ou une fourche (Y).According to a second embodiment represented in figure 7b , the outer panel of the holding and support envelope (04) consists of two separate pieces which together form an X or a fork (Y).

Selon ces deux formes d'exécution de l'invention, il sera nécessaire de relier les parties de la fourche ou du X selon une couture centrale (04c) et éventuellement (04d) qui n'est pas représentée sur la partie arrière, afin de créer l'enveloppe tridimensionnelle (04).According to these two embodiments of the invention, it will be necessary to connect the parts of the fork or the X in a central seam (04c) and optionally (04d) which is not shown on the rear part, in order to create the three-dimensional envelope (04).

Le panneau externe de l'enveloppe (04) sera solidarisé à chacun des panneaux avant gauche (02a) et avant droit (02b) par l'intermédiaire d'une couture latérale (04a) ou (04b). Les formes qui sont représentées dans les figures 7a et 7b permettront judicieusement d'apporter du volume et donc de réaliser une forme tridimensionnelle qui servira de coque ou enveloppe de maintien et support. Adéquatement, cette enveloppe de maintien et support (04) est doublée à l'aide d'un panneau (07) ainsi que représenté à la figure 8. La présence de ce panneau central de doublure (07) permet de protéger les parties intimes du frottement des diverses coutures et en particulier des coutures (04a), (04b), (04c) et (04d). De plus, le fait de prévoir une doublure permet d'une part de renforcer un peu l'enveloppe de maintien et de support, d'éviter une usure trop rapide mais surtout évitera la transparence.The outer panel of the envelope (04) will be secured to each of the left front panels (02a) and front right (02b) through a lateral seam (04a) or (04b). The forms that are represented in the figures 7a and 7b will judiciously bring volume and thus to achieve a three-dimensional shape that will serve as a shell or holding shell and support. Suitably, this holding and support envelope (04) is doubled with the aid of a panel (07) as shown in FIG. figure 8 . The presence of this central lining panel (07) protects the intimate parts of the friction of the various seams and in particular the seams (04a), (04b), (04c) and (04d). In addition, the fact of providing a lining allows on the one hand to strengthen slightly the holding envelope and support, avoid wear too fast but especially avoid transparency.

Les figures 3, 4 et 5 représentent plusieurs vues de l'intérieur du sous-vêtement masculin selon la présente invention. De manière particulièrement avantageuse et en vue plus précisément de pouvoir supporter et maintenir les testicules en place, il est prévu selon la présente invention de disposer à l'intérieur même de l'enveloppe de maintien et support (04) un « panier » ou hamac. Ce panier ou hamac sera constitué à l'aide de deux pièces internes de tissu distinctes (09a) et (09b) qui sont disposées, sous forme de bandes de part et d'autres du plan médian à l'intérieur même de l'enveloppe. Idéalement, chacune des deux pièces internes (09a) et (09b) de tissu distinctes qui se présentent sous la forme de bande sera cousue et directement solidarisée aux coutures les plus externes (04a) et (04b) du panneau central avant (04), l'autre partie (centrale) restant libre. Ainsi qu'on le voit représenté à la figure 9, la solidarisation se fera sur toute le côté de longueur (G) alors que le côté de longueur (F) restera libre. Ceci permettra de manière particulièrement avantageuse de créer un hamac étant solidarisé sur un de ses cotés.The figures 3 , 4 and 5 represent several views of the interior of the male underwear according to the present invention. Particularly advantageously, and more specifically in view of being able to support and maintain the testicles in place, it is provided according to the present invention to have a "basket" or hammock inside the holding and support shell (04). . This basket or hammock will be constituted by two separate internal fabric pieces (09a) and (09b) which are arranged in the form of bands on either side of the median plane inside the envelope itself. . Ideally, each of the two internal pieces (09a) and (09b) of distinct fabric which are in the form of strip will be sewn and directly secured to the outermost seams (04a) and (04b) of the front central panel (04), the other part (central) remaining free. As we see it represented in the figure 9 , the joining will be done on the whole length side (G) while the length side (F) will remain free. This will particularly advantageously to create a hammock being secured on one of its sides.

Idéalement et ainsi que représenté à la figure 9, chacune des deux pièces internes (09a) et (09b) présente une longueur correspondant au moins à la longueur (G) du côté qui lui-même correspondra à la couture sur le côté du panneau central avant (04) constituant l'enveloppe. L'autre côté de chacune des deux pièces internes (09a) et (09b) présente une longueur (F) qui reste supérieure à la hauteur (H) qui correspond au développé selon le plan médian du panneau central. Idéalement, la longueur (F) est au moins supérieure de 10%, de préférence de plus de 15%, de préférence de plus de 25% à la hauteur (H).Ideally and as represented in the figure 9 each of the two internal pieces (09a) and (09b) has a length corresponding at least to the length (G) of the side which will itself correspond to the seam on the side of the front central panel (04) constituting the envelope. The other side of each of the two internal parts (09a) and (09b) has a length (F) which remains greater than the height (H) which corresponds to the developed according to the median plane of the central panel. Ideally, the length (F) is at least greater than 10%, preferably more than 15%, preferably more than 25% at height (H).

De manière particulièrement avantageuse, les pièces internes (09a) et (09b) qui constituent les bandes distinctes sont placées symétriquement par rapport au plan médian à l'intérieur même de l'enveloppe (04). D'une part, elles sont solidarisées à la ceinture sur une surface inférieure à la surface correspondant à une zone inférieure (L) à un tiers de la zone centrale de liaison (M), cette zone centrale de liaison (M) étant définie par la surface de liaison de l'enveloppe de maintien et de support directement sur la ceinture (01). Ce qui signifie que la zone de liaison de chacune des deux pièces internes définissant les bandes de soutien correspondent entre environ 10% et environ 15% de la zone centrale, ce qui permet de laisser une partie relativement importante libre de toute présence de hamac dans le plan médian au niveau de la zone centrale dans l'enveloppe de maintien et de support (04).Particularly advantageously, the internal parts (09a) and (09b) which constitute the distinct bands are placed symmetrically with respect to the median plane inside the envelope (04). On the one hand, they are secured to the belt on a surface smaller than the area corresponding to a lower zone (L) to one third of the central connecting zone (M), this central linking zone (M) being defined by the connecting surface of the holding and supporting envelope directly on the belt (01). This means that the connecting zone of each of the two internal parts defining the support strips correspond to between about 10% and about 15% of the central zone, which allows a relatively large portion to be left free of any hammock presence in the area. median plane at the central zone in the holding and support envelope (04).

Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse, le positionnement de chacune des deux pièces internes (09a) et (09b) à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe de maintien et support (04) est réalisé de manière à ce que l'emplacement central entre ces deux pièces internes soit libre. De manière avantageuse, on prévoit que les deux pièces internes occupent entre environ 30 % et environ 50 % de la surface présente dans la zone de jonction sur la ceinture.According to another advantageous characteristic, the positioning of each of the two internal parts (09a) and (09b) inside the holding and supporting envelope (04) is made so that the central location between these two internal parts be free. Advantageously, it is expected that the two internal parts occupy between about 30% and about 50% of the area present in the junction area on the belt.

L'autre caractéristique importante selon la présente invention est que les deux pièces internes faisant fonction de bandes de maintien sont disposées de manière à se croiser au moins partiellement au niveau de l'entrejambe. Cette configuration originale permettra d'une part d'augmenter le confort nécessaire au soutien des parties intimes et en particulier des testicules et d'autre part de réaliser une seule couture au niveau de l'entrejambe permettant de solidariser à la fois l'enveloppe et de maintien et de support et sa doublure ainsi que les pièces internes directement sur le panneau arrière et ceci au niveau de l'entrejambe.The other important feature of the present invention is that the two internal parts acting as holding strips are arranged to intersect at least partially at the crotch. This original configuration will on the one hand increase the comfort necessary to support the intimate parts and in particular the testicles and secondly to perform a single seam at the crotch to secure both the envelope and support and support and its lining and the internal parts directly on the rear panel and this at the crotch.

Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse, les deux pièces internes (09a) et (09b) sont reliées au panneau central avant (04) servant d'enveloppe au niveau de l'entrejambe sur une distance correspondant à une distance (D).According to another advantageous characteristic, the two internal parts (09a) and (09b) are connected to the front central panel (04) serving as an envelope at the crotch for a distance corresponding to a distance (D).

De manière particulièrement avantageuse, les deux pièces internes (09a) et (09b) doivent se croiser au niveau de l'entrejambe sur une distance (E). Le croisement doit être réalisé de manière à ce qu'il soit total (I = D = E) ou partiel (I ≠ E ≠ D). Ceci signifie que le croisement (E s'effectue au niveau de la jonction entre la partie avant et la partie arrière sur une surface comprise entre 10 et 100 % et de préférence entre 10 et 80% et encore de préférence entre 20 et 60 %. Idéalement, le pourcentage de croisement est de l'ordre de 50%, c'est ce pourcentage qui assure le meilleur confort.Particularly advantageously, the two internal parts (09a) and (09b) must intersect at the crotch a distance (E). The crossing must be done in such a way that it is total (I = D = E) or partial (I ≠ E ≠ D). This means that the crossover (E is effected at the junction between the front part and the rear part on an area of between 10 and 100% and preferably between 10 and 80% and again of preferably between 20 and 60%. Ideally, the crossover percentage is of the order of 50%, it is this percentage that ensures the best comfort.

La figure 10 représente en détail une vue de profil en transparence du sous-vêtement selon une forme d'exécution préférée où l'on a repris les distances A, B, C qui représentent respectivement le tour de jambe en cm par rapport à l'axe latéral de symétrie (20), le demi-tour de jambe en cm par rapport à l'axe latéral de symétrie (20) et le décalage de la couture (30) de l'entrejambe en cm par rapport à cet axe latéral de symétrie (20).The figure 10 shows in detail a transparency profile view of the undergarment according to a preferred embodiment where the distances A, B, C, which respectively represent the leg circumference in cm with respect to the lateral axis of symmetry (20), the half-turn of the leg in cm with respect to the lateral axis of symmetry (20) and the offset of the seam (30) of the crotch in cm with respect to this lateral axis of symmetry (20). ).

Selon les différentes formes d'exécution de l'invention correspondants aux tailles (S à XXL), on a repris les données A, B, C en cm ci-dessous : DESCRIPTION S M L XL XXL A ½ tour de jambe (cm) 23 24 25 27 29 B Axe latéral ½ tour de jambe (cm) 11,5 12 12,5 13,5 14,5 C Décalage couture entrejambe (cm) 2,875 3 3,125 3,375 3,625 According to the different embodiments of the invention corresponding to the sizes (S to XXL), the data A, B, C in cm below were taken: DESCRIPTION S M The XL XXL AT ½ turn of leg (cm) 23 24 25 27 29 B Lateral axis ½ leg turn (cm) 11.5 12 12.5 13.5 14.5 C Crotch stitch offset (cm) 2.875 3 3.125 3,375 3,625

Idéalement le croisement s'effectue au niveau même de la couture (06) symbolisée par le repère (30) dans la figure 10 et qui se positionne de préférence de manière légèrement décalée vers l'arrière du boxer. C'est cette combinaison de moyens qui permet d'assurer le meilleur confort.Ideally the crossing is done at the level of the seam (06) symbolized by the mark (30) in the figure 10 and which is preferably positioned slightly offset towards the rear of the boxer.
