Definitions

  • the invention relates to supporting men's trousers, in particular underpants or swimming trunks, with a band-shaped support element and a front support part.
  • the functional underwear is usually worn during sporting activities.
  • the functional underwear should have certain properties.
  • the functional underwear can be windproof, waterproof, heat-insulating, breathable, elastic and / or supportive.
  • Sports bras are known for women, for example, which support the breast, reduce the movement of the breast and thus protect the tissue against overstretching.
  • sports briefs or sports pants are known for men, which fit closely to the body during sporting activities, but at the same time guarantee freedom of movement and should not cut into. Because of these properties, they are particularly suitable for high-activity sports such as running, cycling or hiking.
  • a major disadvantage of known sports pants or swimming trunks is that the genitals of the male wearer are not adequately supported and protected. There is a possibility, especially in movement-intensive sports, that the genitals rub through the movement on the inside of the thighs and / or on the underwear, which can lead to painful chafing.
  • men's trousers Another disadvantage of known men's trousers is that the trousers slip as a result of the sporting activity, mostly downwards in the direction of the legs, and the fit of the trousers must therefore be corrected several times.
  • known men's pants can slip downward in the direction of the legs due to the action of gravity alone.
  • Further disadvantages in the case of men's trousers known from the prior art arise for people with a more stout build and in particular for people who suffer from overweight or obesity. Such a stature or a larger waist circumference of the person causes the worn trousers to be "pressed down" and the fit of the trousers therefore has to be corrected regularly. In many cases, even an elastic waistband cannot guarantee the correct fit of the pants.
  • a men's support pants which comprises a front part and a rear part.
  • the trousers have an elastic fabric support arranged at least between a waistband and a crotch area, the fabric support running over the suspensory area of the pants.
  • a pair of pants with long or 3 ⁇ 4 long leg warmers which comprises a slip with molded jockstrap.
  • the briefs can be made of dimensionally stable material and borders on the jockstrap from a region of the underpants close to the waistband to the crotch region of the underpants. The lower edge of the brief runs over the thighs and buttocks of the wearer when the underpants are worn.
  • a slip is known, which is arranged in a pair of shorts.
  • the panties can be made of elastic material and have a jockstrap, but no pant legs.
  • Long pants with integrated lining are made of GB 2 356 552 known.
  • the lining borders on the one hand from a region of the underpants close to the waistband far into the crotch region of the underpants to a jockstrap.
  • the lower edge of the lining runs over the wearer's thighs and covers the buttocks area of the wearer.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing men's trousers which avoids the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • the present invention is based on the finding that the object is achieved by a band-shaped support element and a front support part.
  • band-shaped in the sense of this application is meant the elongated but limited width shape of a fabric or material.
  • the jockstrap area means that zone of the pants, in particular the front support element, which extends over the genitals of the wearer.
  • the length of the front support part is measured in the middle and in the longitudinal direction of the front support part, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the wearer's body, from the lower end of the support part located in the crotch region of the pants to the upper end of the support part lying on the waistband of the pants.
  • the upper and lower ends of the support part are the upper edge or the upper ogival end of the front support part and the lower edge or the lower ogival end of the front support part.
  • the pants according to the invention have numerous advantages.
  • the front supporting part which extends from the crotch area of the pants, extends to the waistband of the pants and thus acts as a support for the genitals of the wearer of the pants.
  • the band-shaped support element When worn, extends from the back of the pants at least partially around the wearer's body to the front support part.
  • the band-shaped support element exercises starting from the front support part over the lasts up to the back area an essentially horizontal train.
  • the support forces are thus distributed and shifted to both the back and the groin areas, which, in addition to making the trousers more comfortable, primarily results in a significant increase in support.
  • Another advantage of the invention is the variable and diverse design options of the pants, so that the pants can be used in various sports.
  • the material and / or the shape of the front support part can be selected as required.
  • a firmer or stronger or thick-walled material or tissue can be selected in order to achieve increased support or increased protection of the genitals of the wearer.
  • the shape of the anterior support element can also be selected accordingly for increased protection of the genitals.
  • the support element can have a sufficient width so that the genitals are completely covered by the front support element.
  • the front support element can also assume a hollow-body-like or shell-like shape, which in this respect completely encloses the genitals.
  • the men's pants according to the invention therefore enable extensive and adequate support and protection of the genitals of the male wearer and at the same time prevent the pants from slipping.
  • the width of the band-shaped support element at both ends is at most 60% of the length of the front support element.
  • the width of the band-shaped support element at both ends is more preferably at most 55% of the length of the front support element, more preferably at most 50% of the length of the front support element. more preferably at most 45% of the length of the front support element, more preferably at most 40% of the length of the front support element, more preferably at most 30% of the length of the front support member, more preferably at most 20% of the length of the front support member, more preferably at most 10% of the length of the front support member.
  • the two ends of the band-shaped support element preferably have the same width. With the width of the band-shaped support element at its two ends, the essentially horizontal tension of the support band can be regulated. The smaller the width of the band-shaped support element at its two ends, the less tension the support element can exert on the front support part.
  • the front support part preferably has an upper edge which is flush with an upper edge of the band-shaped support element, the width of the band-shaped support element being defined at its two ends as above.
  • the two ends of the band-shaped support element with their width as defined above, each extend starting from the upper edge of the front support part along the right or left side edge of the front support part in the direction of the crotch region of the pants. It is thereby achieved that the horizontal directional pull of the band-shaped support element only starts in a region of the front support element that is upper to the middle at most on the collar side. It is thus avoided that the tension of the band-shaped support element starts in the crotch area of the support element, that is to say in the genital area of the wearer. With this arrangement, an uncomfortable pull on the genitals of the wearer is avoided.
  • the width of the band-shaped support member at both ends is preferably at least 0.5 cm, as described below.
  • the band-shaped support element preferably runs on the back of the pants in the area between the waistband of the pants and the coccyx of the wearer when the pants are in the worn state, more preferably the band-shaped support element runs on the back of the pants in the area of the sacrum of the wearer when the pants are worn.
  • the band-shaped support element therefore in particular does not run over the middle and lower regions of the buttocks of the wearer.
  • the band-shaped support element is preferably a single-layer material, a double-layer material, a three-layer or multi-layer material, a band, a belt band or combinations thereof.

  • the support element preferably has a higher strength than the rest of the material, in particular the textile material, of the pants.
  • the support element can thus have a higher tensile force than the rest of the material, in particular the textile material, of the pants.
  • the band-shaped support element is preferably in one piece.
  • the band-shaped support element is preferably elastic. This ensures that the band-shaped support element exerts an essentially horizontal pull. This pull acts from the front support part via the groin area towards the back of the pants, and supports the genitals and prevents the pants from slipping up or down.
  • the band-shaped support element has an upper edge, a lower edge and two ends, the ends of the band-shaped support element adjoining the respective lateral edges of the front support element and preferably being fixedly connected thereto.
  • the distance between the upper edge and the lower edge is called the width of the support band.
  • the band-shaped support element has a width on the front, a width on the side of the pants and a width on the back of the pants. The distance between the two ends of the band-shaped support element is called the length.
  • the band-shaped support element has a width of 0.5 cm to 25 cm, more preferably 1 cm to 20 cm, more preferably 2 cm to 15 cm, more preferably 3 cm to 10 cm, and most preferably between 3 and 4 cm on.
  • the band-shaped support element can preferably have a uniform width or a variable width.
  • uniform width it is meant that the width of the support band does not change in its course around the pants.
  • the width remains the same at every point of the band-shaped support element, i.e. the width at the front corresponds to the width on the side of the pants as well as the width on the back of the pants.
  • variable width it is meant that the width of the band-shaped support band around its pants can change, in particular can change continuously.
  • the width of the band-shaped support band on the back of the pants can be between 0.5 and 5 cm, preferably between 0.5 and 1.5 cm, in its course continuously from the back over the respective sides to the front of the pants widen, and thus have a width on the side of the pants between 2.5 and 6 cm, preferably between 2.5 and 3.5 cm, and at its two ends on the front support part a width on the front between 7 and 9 cm.
  • the upper edge of the band-shaped support element runs along the waistband of the pants.
  • the band-shaped support element is firmly connected to the waistband of the pants along its upper edge.
  • the fixed connection can be made, for example, by means of sewing, welding, gluing or combinations thereof.
  • the upper edge of the band-shaped support element can, however, also run at a distance from the waistband of the pants in an embodiment which is not part of the invention.
  • the distance between the bottom of the waistband of the pants and the top of the band-shaped Support member is preferably 0.5 cm to 10 cm, more preferably 1 cm to 8 cm, more preferably 2 cm to 6 cm, and most preferably 3 cm to 4 cm.
  • the lower edge of the band-shaped support element has, on the front of the pants, an arcuate course starting from the front support part over the right and left groin parts of the wearer.
  • the lower edge of the band-shaped support element on the front of the pants, starting from the front support part runs in an arc between the waistband of the pants and the right or left groin areas or groin areas of the wearer.
  • the lower edge of the band-shaped support element does not run in areas which lie below the groin areas or groin regions of the wearer, such as, for example, thighs.
  • the band-shaped support element preferably has at least one recess, more preferably at least two recesses. Most preferably, the band-shaped support element has exactly two cutouts.
  • the recess is preferably arranged at the end of the band-shaped support element, close to or adjacent to the front support part.
  • the recess can take the form of a triangle, a gusset, a rectangle, a circle or an ellipse.
  • the front support part is arranged centrally on the front of the pants and extends in its longitudinal orientation from the crotch area of the pants to the waistband of the pants.
  • the front support part has two vertical, or substantially vertical, side edges.
  • the side edges can take a straight course, an arcuate course or a combination thereof.
  • the two side edges preferably run essentially vertically over their entire length, more preferably vertically.
  • the two side edges of the front support element border at least to Part to the respective ends of the band-shaped support element, and are preferably fixedly connected to the respective ends.

  • the upper or waist edge borders the waistband of the pants and is preferably firmly connected to the waistband of the pants, for example by means of sewing, welding, gluing or combinations thereof.
  • the lower edge runs in the crotch area of the pants, preferably parallel to the upper edge, if present.
  • the two side edges of the front support part preferably converge on the collar and / or crotch side.

  • the front support part has an upper edge and a lower end formed by converging side edges, in particular an arcuate or ogival lower end.
  • the front support part preferably has an upper edge which is flush with an upper edge of the band-shaped support element. With such a flush closure, the front support part and the band-shaped support element thus have a common upper edge that runs completely around the trousers. Such an arrangement ensures that the band-shaped support element exerts an essentially horizontal pull, in particular in an upper region of the front support element near the collar.
  • the front support member is a single layer material, a double layer material, a three or multi-layer material, a band or combinations thereof.
  • the material and tape are preferred elastic.
  • the material can be, for example, cotton, nylon, polyamide, elastane, polyester, tulle or combinations thereof.
  • the front support part is preferably a double-layer material, two different materials being used.
  • the layer facing inwards towards the body of the wearer can be made of cotton and the layer located outside of elastane.
  • the front support part is preferably in one piece.
  • the front support part is preferably elastic. This ensures that the front support part exerts a corresponding, essentially vertical pull. This pull acts from the crotch area in the direction of the waistband of the trousers and causes the front support part to lie against the genitals of the wearer and support them.
  • the front support element is preferably thermally deformed or sewn.
  • the front support element preferably has an oval, rectangular, triangular, hollow body or shell-like shape.
  • a hollow-body-like or shell-like shape ensures that the genitals of the wearer can be completely covered, enclosed and protected.
  • the front support element is preferably shaped such that it covers or covers exactly the genitals of the wearer.
  • the front support element is preferably seamlessly deformed in the jock area and crotch area. This prevents the wearer's genitals from rubbing against the sutures.
  • the front support part is at least partially firmly connected to one another at its respective side edges, that is to say on its right and left side edge, preferably with the respective ends of the band-shaped support element.
  • the front support member is along the entire length of its respective side edges connected to the respective ends of the band-shaped support element. This means that the two side edges of the front support element have exactly the same length as the two ends of the band-shaped support element.
  • the two ends of the band-shaped support element thus, like the front support part, extend from the crotch area of the pants to the waistband of the pants.
  • the front support member is connected to the respective ends of the band-shaped support element along at most its upper half of its respective side edges, more preferably the front support element is connected to the respective ends of the band-shaped support element along the upper third of its respective side edges.
  • the upper half or upper third of the respective side edges means half the length or one third of the length of the side edges, starting from the upper or flange-side end of the side edge.
  • the width of the band-shaped support element at its two ends is preferably half or a third of the length of the two side edges of the front support element.
  • the two ends of the band-shaped support element preferably extend over the upper half or the upper third of the length of the respective side edges of the front support element.
  • the band-shaped support element is formed in one piece together with the front support part.
  • This support device can be made of a single-layer material, double-layer material, three-layer or multi-layer material, a band or combinations thereof.
  • the front support member is a double layer material and a membrane is placed between the two layers of the material.
  • the membrane can extend from the crotch area to the waistband of the pants. In another embodiment, the membrane is arranged in the lower area close to the crotch and extends from the crotch area of the pants over the jockstrap area. Thus, in this embodiment, the membrane is arranged between the two layers of the front support element such that the membrane only extends over the genital area of the wearer.
  • the membrane is moisture impermeable, more preferably moisture impermeable and air impermeable.
  • the front support part preferably has an engagement.

  • the pulling function and the supporting function can be regulated in such a way that sufficient support is ensured and at the same time slipping or avoiding of the pants. It is clear that by shortening the length of the band-shaped support element, the support element lies all the closer to the body of the wearer and causes a correspondingly increased traction and support function. The same applies to the width of the band-shaped support element.
  • An increase in the width of the support element causes an enlarged contact surface of the support element on the body of the wearer, usually in the back, pelvis and lumbar region of the wearer. The greater the width of the support element, the larger the contact area and the greater the support forces against the pants slipping.
  • the front support part and the band-shaped support element are preferably made of the same material.
  • the front support part and the band-shaped support element are preferably elastic and have the same Elasticity. This ensures that there is an even pull and that the support forces are evenly distributed.

  • the pants preferably also have a support band which runs continuously from the back of the pants over the sides of the pants to at least the front support part.
  • the support band also serves to increase the support function of the pants and to prevent the pants from slipping or slipping.
  • Such a support band is particularly advantageous for trousers for men who are more obese or who suffer from obesity. Due to the physical conditions, not only an increased support function is required in these cases, but also an increased protection against slipping of the pants.
  • the support band is also advantageous for trousers for sports activities, since the support band and the band-shaped support element position the trousers on the body of the wearer and do not slip, even when the wearer is very active.
  • the support band is preferably continuous all the way and runs from the back of the pants over the sides of the pants and over the crotch area of the pants.
  • the support band thus forms a kind of ring around the body of the wearer. With such a configuration, the support band runs in the Crotch area below the genitals of the wearer and thus increases, in addition to the front support part, the support of the genitals.
  • band-shaped support element and support band has proven to be particularly advantageous since the support element and support band interact in a synergistic manner.
  • the width of the support band is preferably between 0.5 cm and 6 cm, more preferably between 1 cm and 4 cm, and most preferably between 1.5 cm and 2.5 cm.

  • the broadening has the advantage that not only a part of the genitals, but the genitals as a whole can "rest" on the support band and are thus supported and protected.
  • the support band is designed at least in partial areas as two or more support bands running in parallel. As a result, a stronger pull or a higher support force of the support band is achieved, which enables increased protection against the pants slipping. This is necessary, for example, if the male wearer has a stockier or more stout stature.
  • the two or more parallel support bands merge into a single support band in the crotch area. This prevents the genitals of the wearer from entering the space or gap between the parallel support bands and being cut or pinched there.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine stützende Herrenhose, insbesondere eine Unterhose oder Badehose, mit einem bandförmigen Stützelement und einem vorderem Stützteil.The invention relates to supporting men's trousers, in particular underpants or swimming trunks, with a band-shaped support element and a front support part.

Bei sportlicher Betätigung wird üblicherweise eine entsprechende Funktionswäsche bzw. Funktionsunterwäsche getragen. Je nach ausgeübter Sportart oder Einsatzzweck soll die Funktionsunterwäsche bestimmte Eigenschaften aufweisen. So kann die Funktionsunterwäsche beispielsweise winddicht, wasserdicht, wärmeisolierend, atmungsaktiv, elastisch und/oder stützend sein.Appropriate functional underwear or functional underwear is usually worn during sporting activities. Depending on the type of sport or purpose, the functional underwear should have certain properties. For example, the functional underwear can be windproof, waterproof, heat-insulating, breathable, elastic and / or supportive.

Für Damen sind beispielsweise Sport-BHs bekannt, welche die Brust stützen, die Bewegung der Brust reduzieren und somit das Gewebe vor Überdehnung schützen.Sports bras are known for women, for example, which support the breast, reduce the movement of the breast and thus protect the tissue against overstretching.

Analog dazu sind für Herren beispielsweise Sportslips oder Sporthosen bekannt, die bei der sportlichen Betätigung eng am Körper anliegen, jedoch zugleich Bewegungsfreiheit gewährleisten und auch nicht einschneiden sollen. Aufgrund dieser Eigenschaften eignen sie sich vor allem für bewegungsintensive Sportarten wie Laufen, Radfahren oder Wandern.Analogously, for example, sports briefs or sports pants are known for men, which fit closely to the body during sporting activities, but at the same time guarantee freedom of movement and should not cut into. Because of these properties, they are particularly suitable for high-activity sports such as running, cycling or hiking.

Ein wesentlicher Nachteil von bekannten Sporthosen oder Badehosen besteht darin, dass die Genitalien des männlichen Trägers nicht ausreichend gestützt und geschützt werden. Es besteht insbesondere bei bewegungsintensiven Sportarten die Möglichkeit, dass die Genitalien durch die Bewegung an der Innenseite der Oberschenkel und/oder an der Unterwäsche reiben, was zu schmerzhaften Wundreiben führen kann.A major disadvantage of known sports pants or swimming trunks is that the genitals of the male wearer are not adequately supported and protected. There is a possibility, especially in movement-intensive sports, that the genitals rub through the movement on the inside of the thighs and / or on the underwear, which can lead to painful chafing.

Vor allem bei Sportarten wie Basketball kommen neben läuferischen auch Sprungkomponenten hinzu, was eine besondere Stützung der Genitalien erforderlich macht. Auch bei aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Badeshorts für Männer, die aus modischen Gründen weiter geschnitten sind, reicht das innenliegende Netz nicht immer aus die Reibung zu verhindern.Especially in sports like basketball, there are also jumping components in addition to running, which requires special support for the genitals. Even in swim shorts for men known from the prior art, which cut further for fashion reasons the internal net is not always sufficient to prevent friction.

Ein weiterer Nachteil bekannter Herrenhosen ist, dass die Hose infolge der sportlichen Betätigung verrutscht, zumeist nach unten in Richtung der Beine, und somit der Sitz der Hose mehrmals korrigiert werden muss. Darüber hinaus können bekannte Herrenhosen alleine aufgrund der Einwirkung der Schwerkraft nach unten in Richtung der Beine verrutschen. Weitere Nachteile bei aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Herrenhosen ergeben sich bei Personen mit korpulenterer Statur und insbesondere bei Personen die unter Übergewicht oder Adipositas leiden. Eine solche Statur bzw. ein größerer Bauchumfang der Person bewirkt, dass die getragene Hose nach unten "gedrückt" wird und somit der Sitz der Hose regelmäßig korrigiert werden muss. Auch ein elastischer Bund kann in vielen Fällen nicht den korrekten Sitz der Hose gewährleisten.Another disadvantage of known men's trousers is that the trousers slip as a result of the sporting activity, mostly downwards in the direction of the legs, and the fit of the trousers must therefore be corrected several times. In addition, known men's pants can slip downward in the direction of the legs due to the action of gravity alone. Further disadvantages in the case of men's trousers known from the prior art arise for people with a more stout build and in particular for people who suffer from overweight or obesity. Such a stature or a larger waist circumference of the person causes the worn trousers to be "pressed down" and the fit of the trousers therefore has to be corrected regularly. In many cases, even an elastic waistband cannot guarantee the correct fit of the pants.

Aus der DE 10 2010 003 358 A1 ist eine Herren-Stützhose bekannt, welche ein Vorderteil und ein Hinterteil umfasst. Die Hose weist eine zumindest zwischen einem Bund und einem Schrittbereich angeordnete elastische Stoffauflage auf, wobei die Stoffauflage über den Suspensoriumsbereich der Hose verläuft.From the DE 10 2010 003 358 A1 a men's support pants is known which comprises a front part and a rear part. The trousers have an elastic fabric support arranged at least between a waistband and a crotch area, the fabric support running over the suspensory area of the pants.

Aus der DE 7519030 , die den Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 offenbart, ist eine Unterhose mit langen bzw. ¾ langen Beinlingen bekannt, welche einen Slip mit angeformten Suspensorium umfasst. Der Slip kann aus formbeständigen Material gefertigt sein, und grenzt von einem bundnahen Bereich der Unterhose bis in den Schrittbereich der Unterhose an das Suspensorium. Der untere Rand des Slips verläuft im Tragezustand der Unterhose über die Oberschenkel und die Gesäßbacken des Trägers.From the DE 7519030 , which discloses the preamble of claim 1, a pair of pants with long or ¾ long leg warmers is known, which comprises a slip with molded jockstrap. The briefs can be made of dimensionally stable material and borders on the jockstrap from a region of the underpants close to the waistband to the crotch region of the underpants. The lower edge of the brief runs over the thighs and buttocks of the wearer when the underpants are worn.

Aus der FR 2 579 081 ist ein Slip bekannt, welcher in einer kurzen Hose angeordnet ist. Der Slip kann aus elastischem Material sein und weist ein Suspensorium, jedoch keine Hosenbeine auf.From the FR 2 579 081 a slip is known, which is arranged in a pair of shorts. The panties can be made of elastic material and have a jockstrap, but no pant legs.

Eine lange Hose mit integriertem Futter ist aus der GB 2 356 552 bekannt. Das Futter grenzt zum einen von einem bundnahen Bereich der Unterhose bis weit in den Schrittbereich der Unterhose an ein Suspensorium. Der untere Rand des Futters verläuft über den Oberschenkeln des Trägers und bedeckt den Gesäßbereich des Trägers.Long pants with integrated lining are made of GB 2 356 552 known. The lining borders on the one hand from a region of the underpants close to the waistband far into the crotch region of the underpants to a jockstrap. The lower edge of the lining runs over the wearer's thighs and covers the buttocks area of the wearer.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde eine Herrenhose bereitzustellen, welche die oben erwähnten Nachteile vermeidet.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing men's trousers which avoids the disadvantages mentioned above.

Es ist eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung eine Herrenhose bereitzustellen, welche ein Verrutschen der Hose, insbesondere nach unten in Richtung der Beine, verringert oder vermeidet, und zugleich die Genitalien des männlichen Trägers ausreichend stützt und schützt.It is a further object of the invention to provide men's trousers which reduce or avoid slipping of the trousers, in particular downward in the direction of the legs, and at the same time adequately support and protect the genitals of the male wearer.

Es ist ferner eine Aufgabe der Erfindung eine Herrenhose bereitzustellen, die insbesondere für unter Übergewicht oder Adipositas leidenden Männern geeignet ist.It is also an object of the invention to provide men's trousers which are particularly suitable for men suffering from overweight or obesity.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß mit einer Herrenhose gemäß Anspruch 1 erreicht.This is achieved according to the invention with a men's pant according to claim 1.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass die Aufgabe durch ein bandförmiges Stützelement und ein vorderes Stützteil gelöst wird.The present invention is based on the finding that the object is achieved by a band-shaped support element and a front support part.

Mit bandförmig im Sinne dieser Anmeldung ist die längliche, jedoch begrenzte Breite aufweisende Form eines Gewebes oder Materials gemeint.By band-shaped in the sense of this application is meant the elongated but limited width shape of a fabric or material.

Mit durchgehend im Sinne dieser Anmeldung ist gemeint, dass das Gewebe oder Material ununterbrochen verläuft, also einstückig ist, aber auch, dass das Gewebe oder Material aus zwei oder mehreren jeweils fest miteinander verbundenen Stücken besteht, also mehrstückig ist.By continuous in the sense of this application is meant that the fabric or material runs continuously, that is to say it is in one piece, but also that the fabric or material consists of two or more pieces which are in each case firmly connected to one another, that is to say is in several pieces.

Mit rundum durchgehend im Sinne dieser Anmeldung ist gemeint, dass das Gewebe oder Material durchgehend wie oben definiert ist und zugleich einen geschlossen Verlauf, also keine Enden, aufweist.By all-round in the sense of this application is meant that the fabric or material is continuously defined as above and at the same time has a closed course, that is to say no ends.

Mit Suspensoriumsbereich im Sinne dieser Anmeldung ist jene Zone der Hose, insbesondere des vorderen Stützelements gemeint, welcher sich über die Genitalien des Trägers erstreckt.In the sense of this application, the jockstrap area means that zone of the pants, in particular the front support element, which extends over the genitals of the wearer.

Die Länge des vorderen Stützteils wird mittig und in Längsrichtung des vorderen Stützteils gemessen, parallel zur Körperlängsachse des Trägers, von im Schrittbereich der Hose liegenden unteren Ende des Stützteils bis zum am Bund der Hose liegenden oberen Ende des Stützteils. Das obere und untere Ende des Stützteils sind, wie unten beschrieben, der obere Rand oder das obere spitzbogenförmige Ende des vorderen Stützteils bzw. der untere Rand oder das untere spitzbogenförmige Ende des vorderen Stützteils.The length of the front support part is measured in the middle and in the longitudinal direction of the front support part, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the wearer's body, from the lower end of the support part located in the crotch region of the pants to the upper end of the support part lying on the waistband of the pants. As described below, the upper and lower ends of the support part are the upper edge or the upper ogival end of the front support part and the lower edge or the lower ogival end of the front support part.

Die erfindungsgemäße Hose weist zahlreiche Vorteile auf. Das vom Schrittbereich der Hose aus verlaufende vordere Stützteil erstreckt sich bis zum Bund der Hose, und wirkt somit stützend auf die Genitalien des Trägers der Hose. Im Tragezustand verläuft das bandförmige Stützelement von der Rückseite der Hose zumindest teilumfänglich um den Körper des Trägers bis zum vorderen Stützteil. Das bandförmige Stützelement übt ausgehend vom vorderen Stützteil über die Leisten bis zum Rückenbereich einen im Wesentlichen horizontal gerichteten Zug aus.The pants according to the invention have numerous advantages. The front supporting part, which extends from the crotch area of the pants, extends to the waistband of the pants and thus acts as a support for the genitals of the wearer of the pants. When worn, the band-shaped support element extends from the back of the pants at least partially around the wearer's body to the front support part. The band-shaped support element exercises starting from the front support part over the lasts up to the back area an essentially horizontal train.

In Kombination mit dem vorderen Stützteil werden die Stützkräfte somit sowohl auf die Rücken- als auch auf die Leistenpartien verteilt und verlagert, was neben einem angenehmeren Tragegefühl der Hose vor allem eine signifikante Erhöhung der Stützung bewirkt.In combination with the front support part, the support forces are thus distributed and shifted to both the back and the groin areas, which, in addition to making the trousers more comfortable, primarily results in a significant increase in support.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung ist die variable und vielfältige Ausgestaltungsmöglichkeit der Hose, sodass die Hose in diversen Sportarten Anwendung finden kann. So kann je nach Bedarf das Material und/oder die Form des vorderen Stützteils gewählt werden. Es kann beispielsweise ein festeres oder stärkeres bzw. dickwandigeres Material oder Gewebe gewählt werden, um eine erhöhte Stützung bzw. erhöhten Schutz der Genitalien des Trägers zu erreichen.Another advantage of the invention is the variable and diverse design options of the pants, so that the pants can be used in various sports. The material and / or the shape of the front support part can be selected as required. For example, a firmer or stronger or thick-walled material or tissue can be selected in order to achieve increased support or increased protection of the genitals of the wearer.

Für einen erhöhten Schutz der Genitalien kann auch die Form des vorderen Stützelements entsprechend gewählt werden. So kann das Stützelement beispielsweise eine ausreichende Breite aufweisen, sodass die Genitalien vollständig vom vorderen Stützelement bedeckt werden. Das vordere Stützelement kann auch eine hohlkörperartige oder schalenartige Form annehmen, welche die Genitalien insofern vollständig umschließt.The shape of the anterior support element can also be selected accordingly for increased protection of the genitals. For example, the support element can have a sufficient width so that the genitals are completely covered by the front support element. The front support element can also assume a hollow-body-like or shell-like shape, which in this respect completely encloses the genitals.

Die erfindungsgemäße Herrenhose ermöglicht daher eine umfangreiche und ausreichende Stützung und Schutz der Genitalien des männlichen Trägers und verhindert zugleich ein Verrutschen der Hose.The men's pants according to the invention therefore enable extensive and adequate support and protection of the genitals of the male wearer and at the same time prevent the pants from slipping.

Die Breite des bandförmigen Stützelements an seinen beiden Enden beträgt höchstens 60% der Länge des vorderen Stützelements Die Breite des bandförmigen Stützelements an seinen beiden Enden beträgt mehr bevorzugt höchstens 55% der Länge des vorderen Stützelements, mehr bevorzugt höchstens 50% der Länge des vorderen Stützelements, mehr bevorzugt höchstens 45% der Länge des vorderen Stützelements, mehr bevorzugt höchstens 40% der Länge des vorderen Stützelements, mehr bevorzugt höchstens 30% der Länge des vorderen Stützelements, mehr bevorzugt höchstens 20% der Länge des vorderen Stützelements, mehr bevorzugt höchstens 10% der Länge des vorderen Stützelements. Vorzugsweise weisen die beiden Enden des bandförmigen Stützelements dieselbe Breite auf. Mit der Breite des bandförmigen Stützelements an seinen beiden Enden lässt sich der im wesentlichen horizontale Zug des Stützbandes regulieren. Je geringer die Breite des bandförmigen Stützelements an seinen beiden Enden ist, desto weniger Zug kann das Stützelement auf das vordere Stützteil ausüben.The width of the band-shaped support element at both ends is at most 60% of the length of the front support element. The width of the band-shaped support element at both ends is more preferably at most 55% of the length of the front support element, more preferably at most 50% of the length of the front support element. more preferably at most 45% of the length of the front support element, more preferably at most 40% of the length of the front support element, more preferably at most 30% of the length of the front support member, more preferably at most 20% of the length of the front support member, more preferably at most 10% of the length of the front support member. The two ends of the band-shaped support element preferably have the same width. With the width of the band-shaped support element at its two ends, the essentially horizontal tension of the support band can be regulated. The smaller the width of the band-shaped support element at its two ends, the less tension the support element can exert on the front support part.

Vorzugsweise weist das vordere Stützteil einen oberen Rand auf, welcher mit einem oberen Rand des bandförmigen Stützelements bündig abschließt, wobei die Breite des bandförmigen Stützelements an seinen beiden Enden wie oben definiert ist. Somit erstrecken sich die beiden Enden des bandförmigen Stützelements, mit ihrer Breite wie oben definiert, jeweils beginnend vom oberen Rand des vorderen Stützteils entlang des rechten bzw. linken Seitenrands des vorderen Stützteils in Richtung Schrittbereich der Hose. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass der horizontale gerichtete Zug des bandförmigen Stützelements nur in einem bundseitig oberen bis höchstens mittleren liegenden Bereich des vorderen Stützelements ansetzt. Es wird damit vermieden, dass der Zug des bandförmigen Stützelements im Schrittbereich des Stützelements, also im Genitalbereich des Trägers, ansetzt. Mit dieser Anordnung wird ein unangenehm empfundener Zug auf die Genitalien des Trägers vermieden.The front support part preferably has an upper edge which is flush with an upper edge of the band-shaped support element, the width of the band-shaped support element being defined at its two ends as above. Thus, the two ends of the band-shaped support element, with their width as defined above, each extend starting from the upper edge of the front support part along the right or left side edge of the front support part in the direction of the crotch region of the pants. It is thereby achieved that the horizontal directional pull of the band-shaped support element only starts in a region of the front support element that is upper to the middle at most on the collar side. It is thus avoided that the tension of the band-shaped support element starts in the crotch area of the support element, that is to say in the genital area of the wearer. With this arrangement, an uncomfortable pull on the genitals of the wearer is avoided.

Die Breite des bandförmigen Stützelements an seinen beiden Enden beträgt vorzugsweise jedoch mindestens 0,5 cm, wie unten beschrieben.However, the width of the band-shaped support member at both ends is preferably at least 0.5 cm, as described below.

Vorzugsweise verläuft im Tragezustand der Hose das bandförmige Stützelement auf der Rückseite der Hose im Bereich zwischen dem Bund der Hose und dem Steißbein des Trägers, mehr bevorzugt verläuft im Tragezustand der Hose das bandförmige Stützelement auf der Rückseite der Hose im Bereich des Kreuzbeins des Trägers. Das bandförmige Stützelement verläuft also insbesondere nicht über die mittleren und unteren Bereiche der Gesäßbacken des Trägers. Somit werden die Zugkräfte auf den Rücken des Trägers in einem zwischen Bund der Hose über das Kreuzbein und Steißbein des Trägers liegenden Bereich verlagert, und ein im wesentlichen horizontaler Zug ermöglicht.The band-shaped support element preferably runs on the back of the pants in the area between the waistband of the pants and the coccyx of the wearer when the pants are in the worn state, more preferably the band-shaped support element runs on the back of the pants in the area of the sacrum of the wearer when the pants are worn. The band-shaped support element therefore in particular does not run over the middle and lower regions of the buttocks of the wearer. Thus the Tractive forces are shifted to the back of the wearer in an area lying between the waistband of the pants over the sacrum and coccyx of the wearer, and an essentially horizontal pull is made possible.

Vorzugsweise ist das bandförmige Stützelement ein einlagiges Material, ein doppellagiges Material, ein drei- oder mehrlagiges Material, ein Band, ein Gurtband oder Kombinationen davon. Das Material kann beispielsweise aus Baumwolle, Nylon, Polyamid, Elasthan, Polyester, Tüll oder Kombinationen davon sein. Ist das bandförmige Stützelement zwei- oder mehrlagig, so kann jede Lage aus einem unterschiedlichen Material bestehen.The band-shaped support element is preferably a single-layer material, a double-layer material, a three-layer or multi-layer material, a band, a belt band or combinations thereof. The material can be, for example, cotton, nylon, polyamide, elastane, polyester, tulle or combinations thereof. If the band-shaped support element has two or more layers, each layer can consist of a different material.

Vorzugsweise weist das Stützelement eine höhere Festigkeit auf als das übrige Material, insbesondere das Textilmaterial, der Hose. So kann das Stützelement eine höhere Zugkraft als das übrige Material, insbesondere das Textilmaterial, der Hose aufweisen.The support element preferably has a higher strength than the rest of the material, in particular the textile material, of the pants. The support element can thus have a higher tensile force than the rest of the material, in particular the textile material, of the pants.

Das bandförmige Stützelement ist vorzugsweise einstückig.The band-shaped support element is preferably in one piece.

Vorzugsweise ist das bandförmige Stützelement elastisch. Damit wird erreicht, dass das bandförmige Stützelement einen im wesentlich horizontalen Zug ausübt. Dieser Zug wirkt ausgehend vom vorderen Stützteil über die Leistenbereich in Richtung Rückseite der Hose, und bewirkt eine Stützung der Genitalien und verhindert ein Verrutschen der Hose nach oben oder unten.The band-shaped support element is preferably elastic. This ensures that the band-shaped support element exerts an essentially horizontal pull. This pull acts from the front support part via the groin area towards the back of the pants, and supports the genitals and prevents the pants from slipping up or down.

Das bandförmige Stützelement weist einen oberen Rand, einen unteren Rand und zwei Enden auf, wobei die Enden des bandförmigen Stützelements an die jeweiligen seitlichen Ränder des vorderen Stützelements angrenzen, und vorzugsweise mit diesen fest verbunden sind. Der Abstand zwischen dem oberen Rand und dem unteren Rand wird als Breite des Stützbandes bezeichnet. Insbesondere weist das bandförmige Stützelement eine Breite auf der Vorderseite, eine Breite an der Seite der Hose und eine Breite auf der Rückseite der Hose auf. Der Abstand zwischen den beiden Enden des bandförmigen Stützelements wird als Länge bezeichnet.The band-shaped support element has an upper edge, a lower edge and two ends, the ends of the band-shaped support element adjoining the respective lateral edges of the front support element and preferably being fixedly connected thereto. The distance between the upper edge and the lower edge is called the width of the support band. In particular, the band-shaped support element has a width on the front, a width on the side of the pants and a width on the back of the pants. The distance between the two ends of the band-shaped support element is called the length.

Vorzugsweise weist das bandförmige Stützelement eine Breite von 0,5 cm bis 25 cm, mehr bevorzugt von 1 cm bis 20 cm, mehr bevorzugt von 2 cm bis 15 cm, mehr bevorzugt von 3 cm bis 10 cm, und am meisten bevorzugt zwischen 3 und 4 cm auf.Preferably, the band-shaped support element has a width of 0.5 cm to 25 cm, more preferably 1 cm to 20 cm, more preferably 2 cm to 15 cm, more preferably 3 cm to 10 cm, and most preferably between 3 and 4 cm on.

Das bandförmige Stützelement kann vorzugsweise eine einheitliche Breite oder eine variable Breite aufweisen. Mit einheitlicher Breite ist gemeint, dass sich die Breite des Stützbandes in seinem Verlauf um die Hose nicht ändert. Mit anderen Worten bleibt die Breite an jeder Stelle des bandförmigen Stützelements dieselbe, d.h. die Breite an der Vorderseite entspricht der Breite an der Seite der Hose als auch der Breite auf der Rückseite der Hose.The band-shaped support element can preferably have a uniform width or a variable width. By uniform width it is meant that the width of the support band does not change in its course around the pants. In other words, the width remains the same at every point of the band-shaped support element, i.e. the width at the front corresponds to the width on the side of the pants as well as the width on the back of the pants.

Mit variabler Breite ist gemeint, dass sich die Breite des bandförmigen Stützbandes in seinem Verlauf um die Hose ändern kann, insbesondre kontinuierlich ändern kann. So kann beispielsweise die Breite des bandförmigen Stützbands auf der Rückseite der Hose zwischen 0,5 und 5 cm, vorzugsweise zwischen 0,5 und 1,5 cm, betragen, sich in seinem Verlauf von der Rückseite über die jeweiligen Seiten zur Vorderseite der Hose kontinuierlich verbreitern, und somit eine Breite an der Seite der Hose zwischen 2,5 und 6 cm, vorzugsweise zwischen 2,5 und 3,5 cm, und an seinen beiden Enden am vorderen Stützteil eine Breite auf der Vorderseite zwischen 7 und 9 cm aufweisen.By variable width it is meant that the width of the band-shaped support band around its pants can change, in particular can change continuously. For example, the width of the band-shaped support band on the back of the pants can be between 0.5 and 5 cm, preferably between 0.5 and 1.5 cm, in its course continuously from the back over the respective sides to the front of the pants widen, and thus have a width on the side of the pants between 2.5 and 6 cm, preferably between 2.5 and 3.5 cm, and at its two ends on the front support part a width on the front between 7 and 9 cm.

Der obere Rand des bandförmigen Stützelements verläuft entlang des Bundes der Hose. Das bandförmige Stützelement ist entlang seines oberen Randes mit dem Bund der Hose fest verbunden. Die feste Verbindung kann beispielsweise mittels Vernähen, Verschweißen, Verkleben oder Kombinationen davon erfolgen.The upper edge of the band-shaped support element runs along the waistband of the pants. The band-shaped support element is firmly connected to the waistband of the pants along its upper edge. The fixed connection can be made, for example, by means of sewing, welding, gluing or combinations thereof.

Der obere Rand des bandförmigen Stützelements kann aber, in einer Ausführung die nicht zur Erfindung gehört, auch in einem Abstand vom Bund der Hose verlaufen. Der Abstand zwischen dem unteren Rand des Bundes der Hose und dem oberen Rand des bandförmigen Stützelements beträgt vorzugsweise 0,5 cm bis 10 cm, mehr bevorzugt 1 cm bis 8 cm, mehr bevorzugt 2 cm bis 6 cm, und am meisten bevorzugt 3 cm bis 4 cm.The upper edge of the band-shaped support element can, however, also run at a distance from the waistband of the pants in an embodiment which is not part of the invention. The distance between the bottom of the waistband of the pants and the top of the band-shaped Support member is preferably 0.5 cm to 10 cm, more preferably 1 cm to 8 cm, more preferably 2 cm to 6 cm, and most preferably 3 cm to 4 cm.

Der untere Rand des bandförmigen Stützelements weist auf der Vorderseite der Hose ausgehend vom vorderen Stützteil einen bogenförmigen Verlauf über den rechten beziehungsweise linken Leistenpartien des Trägers auf. So verläuft im Tragezustand der Hose der untere Rand des bandförmigen Stützelements auf der Vorderseite der Hose ausgehend vom vorderen Stützteil bogenförmig in einem Bereich zwischen Bund der Hose und den rechten beziehungsweise linken Leistenpartien oder Leistengegenden des Trägers. Somit verläuft im Tragezustand der Hose der untere Rand des bandförmigen Stützelements nicht in Bereichen, welche unterhalb der Leistenpartien oder Leistengegenden des Trägers liegen, wie beispielsweise Oberschenkel.The lower edge of the band-shaped support element has, on the front of the pants, an arcuate course starting from the front support part over the right and left groin parts of the wearer. Thus, when the pants are in the worn state, the lower edge of the band-shaped support element on the front of the pants, starting from the front support part, runs in an arc between the waistband of the pants and the right or left groin areas or groin areas of the wearer. Thus, when the trousers are in the worn state, the lower edge of the band-shaped support element does not run in areas which lie below the groin areas or groin regions of the wearer, such as, for example, thighs.

Vorzugsweise weist das bandförmige Stützelement mindestens eine Aussparung auf, mehr bevorzugt mindestens zwei Aussparungen. Am meisten bevorzugt weist das bandförmige Stützelement genau zwei Aussparungen auf. Die Aussparung ist vorzugsweise am Ende des bandförmigen Stützelements, nahe oder angrenzend an das vordere Stützteil, angeordnet. Die Aussparung kann dabei die Form eines Dreiecks, eines Zwickels, eines Rechtecks, eines Kreises oder einer Ellipse annehmen.The band-shaped support element preferably has at least one recess, more preferably at least two recesses. Most preferably, the band-shaped support element has exactly two cutouts. The recess is preferably arranged at the end of the band-shaped support element, close to or adjacent to the front support part. The recess can take the form of a triangle, a gusset, a rectangle, a circle or an ellipse.

Das vordere Stützteil ist mittig an der Vorderseite der Hose angeordnet und erstreckt sich in seiner Längsausrichtung vom Schrittbereich der Hose bis zum Bund der Hose. Das vordere Stützteil weist zwei vertikal, oder im wesentlich vertikal, verlaufende Seitenränder auf. Die Seitenränder können einen geraden Verlauf, einen bogenförmigen Verlauf oder eine Kombination davon annehmen. Vorzugsweise verlaufen die beiden Seitenränder über ihre gesamte Länge im Wesentlichen vertikal, mehr bevorzugt vertikal. Die beiden Seitenränder des vorderen Stützelements grenzen zumindest zum Teil an die jeweiligen Enden des bandförmigen Stützelements, und sind vorzugsweise mit den jeweiligen Enden fest verbunden.The front support part is arranged centrally on the front of the pants and extends in its longitudinal orientation from the crotch area of the pants to the waistband of the pants. The front support part has two vertical, or substantially vertical, side edges. The side edges can take a straight course, an arcuate course or a combination thereof. The two side edges preferably run essentially vertically over their entire length, more preferably vertically. The two side edges of the front support element border at least to Part to the respective ends of the band-shaped support element, and are preferably fixedly connected to the respective ends.

Vorzugsweise weist das vordere Stützteil einen oberen Rand und/oder einen unteren Rand auf. Der obere oder bundseitige Rand grenzt an den Bund der Hose und ist vorzugsweise mit dem Bund der Hose fest verbunden, beispielsweise mittels Vernähen, Verschweißen, Verkleben oder Kombinationen davon. Der untere Rand verläuft im Schrittbereich der Hose, vorzugsweise parallel zum oberen Rand, sofern vorhanden.The front support part preferably has an upper edge and / or a lower edge. The upper or waist edge borders the waistband of the pants and is preferably firmly connected to the waistband of the pants, for example by means of sewing, welding, gluing or combinations thereof. The lower edge runs in the crotch area of the pants, preferably parallel to the upper edge, if present.

Vorzugsweise laufen die beiden Seitenränder des vorderen Stützteils bundseitig und/oder schrittseitig zusammen. Das vordere Stützteil weist somit keinen oberen und/oder unteren Rand, sondern ein durch die zusammenlaufenden Seitenränder gebildetes oberes beziehungsweise unteres Ende auf, insbesondere ein spitzbogenförmiges oberes Ende bzw. spitzbogenförmiges unteres Ende auf.The two side edges of the front support part preferably converge on the collar and / or crotch side. The front support part thus has no upper and / or lower edge, but rather an upper or lower end formed by the converging side edges, in particular an ogival-shaped upper end or ogival-shaped lower end.

In einer Ausführungsform weist das vordere Stützteil einen oberen Rand und ein durch zusammenlaufende Seitenränder gebildetes unteres Ende, insbesondere ein bogenförmiges oder spitzbogenförmiges unteres Ende, auf.In one embodiment, the front support part has an upper edge and a lower end formed by converging side edges, in particular an arcuate or ogival lower end.

Vorzugsweise weist das vordere Stützteil einen oberen Rand auf, welcher mit einem oberen Rand des bandförmigen Stützelements bündig abschließt. Durch einen solchen bündigen Abschluss weisen das vordere Stützteil und das bandförmige Stützelements somit einen vollumfänglich um die Hose laufenden gemeinsamen oberen Rand auf. Eine solche Anordnung gewährleistet, dass das bandförmige Stützelement einen im wesentlichen horizontalen Zug insbesondere in einem oberen, bundnahen Bereich des vorderen Stützelements ausübt.The front support part preferably has an upper edge which is flush with an upper edge of the band-shaped support element. With such a flush closure, the front support part and the band-shaped support element thus have a common upper edge that runs completely around the trousers. Such an arrangement ensures that the band-shaped support element exerts an essentially horizontal pull, in particular in an upper region of the front support element near the collar.

Vorzugsweise ist das vordere Stützteil ein einlagiges Material, ein doppellagiges Material, ein drei- oder mehrlagiges Material, ein Band oder Kombinationen davon ist. Das Material und das Band sind vorzugsweise elastisch. Das Material kann beispielsweise aus Baumwolle, Nylon, Polyamid, Elasthan, Polyester, Tüll oder Kombinationen davon sein.Preferably, the front support member is a single layer material, a double layer material, a three or multi-layer material, a band or combinations thereof. The material and tape are preferred elastic. The material can be, for example, cotton, nylon, polyamide, elastane, polyester, tulle or combinations thereof.

Vorzugsweise ist das vordere Stützteil ein doppellagiges Material, wobei zwei unterschiedliche Materialien verwendet werden. So kann beispielsweise die nach innen zum Körper des Träger gewandte Lage aus Baumwolle sein, und die außen angeordnete Lage aus Elasthan.The front support part is preferably a double-layer material, two different materials being used. For example, the layer facing inwards towards the body of the wearer can be made of cotton and the layer located outside of elastane.

Das vordere Stützteil ist vorzugsweise einstückig.The front support part is preferably in one piece.

Vorzugsweise ist das vordere Stützteil elastisch. Damit wird erreicht, dass das vordere Stützteil einen entsprechenden, im wesentlich vertikalen Zug ausübt. Dieser Zug wirkt ausgehend vom Schrittbereich in Richtung Bund der Hose und bewirkt, dass sich das vordere Stützteil an die Genitalien des Trägers anlegt und diese stützt.The front support part is preferably elastic. This ensures that the front support part exerts a corresponding, essentially vertical pull. This pull acts from the crotch area in the direction of the waistband of the trousers and causes the front support part to lie against the genitals of the wearer and support them.

Das vordere Stützelement ist vorzugsweise thermisch verformt oder vernäht.The front support element is preferably thermally deformed or sewn.

Das vordere Stützelement hat vorzugsweise eine ovale, rechteckige, dreieckige, hohlkörperartige oder schalenartige Form. Mit einer hohlkörperartigen oder schalenartige Form wird erreicht, dass die Genitalien des Trägers vollständig bedeckt, umschlossen und geschützt werden können. Vorzugsweise ist das vordere Stützelement derart geformt, dass es genau die Genitalien des Trägers abdeckt bzw. bedeckt.The front support element preferably has an oval, rectangular, triangular, hollow body or shell-like shape. A hollow-body-like or shell-like shape ensures that the genitals of the wearer can be completely covered, enclosed and protected. The front support element is preferably shaped such that it covers or covers exactly the genitals of the wearer.

Vorzugsweise ist das vordere Stützelement im Suspensoriumsbereich und Schrittbereich nahtlos verformt. Damit wird vermieden, dass die Genitalien des Trägers an den Nähten reiben können.The front support element is preferably seamlessly deformed in the jock area and crotch area. This prevents the wearer's genitals from rubbing against the sutures.

In einer Ausführungsform ist das vordere Stützteil an seinen jeweiligen Seitenrändern, das heißt an seinem rechten und linken Seitenrand, zumindest teilweise mit dem bandförmigen Stützelement fest miteinander verbunden, vorzugsweise mit den jeweiligen Enden des bandförmigen Stützelements fest miteinander verbunden. Vorzugsweise ist das vordere Stützelement entlang der gesamten Länge seiner jeweiligen Seitenränder mit den jeweiligen Enden des bandförmigen Stützelements verbunden. Das bedeutet, dass die beiden Seitenränder des vorderen Stützelements genau dieselbe Länge aufweisen wie die beiden Enden des bandförmigen Stützelements. Die beiden Enden des bandförmigen Stützelements erstrecken sich also, wie das vordere Stützteil, vom Schrittbereich der Hose bis zum Bund der Hose.In one embodiment, the front support part is at least partially firmly connected to one another at its respective side edges, that is to say on its right and left side edge, preferably with the respective ends of the band-shaped support element. Preferably, the front support member is along the entire length of its respective side edges connected to the respective ends of the band-shaped support element. This means that the two side edges of the front support element have exactly the same length as the two ends of the band-shaped support element. The two ends of the band-shaped support element thus, like the front support part, extend from the crotch area of the pants to the waistband of the pants.

Vorzugsweise ist das vordere Stützelement entlang maximal seiner oberen Hälfte seiner jeweiligen Seitenränder mit den jeweiligen Enden des bandförmigen Stützelements verbunden, mehr bevorzugt ist das vordere Stützelement entlang des oberen Drittels seiner jeweiligen Seitenränder mit den jeweiligen Enden des bandförmigen Stützelements verbunden. Mit oberer Hälfte beziehungsweise oberes Drittel der jeweiligen Seitenränder ist die halbe Länge beziehungsweise ein Drittel der Länge der Seitenränder, ausgehend vom oberen oder bundseitigen Ende des Seitenrandes, gemeint. Das bedeutet, dass die Breite des bandförmigen Stützelements an seinen beiden Enden vorzugsweise die halbe beziehungsweise ein Drittel der Länge der beiden Seitenränder des vorderen Stützelements aufweisen. Das bedeutet auch, dass sich die beiden Enden des bandförmigen Stützelements vorzugsweise über die obere Hälfte beziehungsweise das obere Drittel der Länge der jeweiligen Seitenränder des vorderen Stützelements.Preferably, the front support member is connected to the respective ends of the band-shaped support element along at most its upper half of its respective side edges, more preferably the front support element is connected to the respective ends of the band-shaped support element along the upper third of its respective side edges. The upper half or upper third of the respective side edges means half the length or one third of the length of the side edges, starting from the upper or flange-side end of the side edge. This means that the width of the band-shaped support element at its two ends is preferably half or a third of the length of the two side edges of the front support element. This also means that the two ends of the band-shaped support element preferably extend over the upper half or the upper third of the length of the respective side edges of the front support element.

In einer anderen Ausführungsform ist das bandförmige Stützelement zusammen mit dem vorderen Stützteil einstückig ausgebildet. Das bedeutet, dass das vordere Stützteil und das bandförmige Stützelement aus einem einzigen Stück gebildet sind, und somit eine einzige Stützvorrichtung bilden. Diese Stützvorrichtung kann aus einem einlagigen Material, doppellagigen Material, drei- oder mehrlagigen Material, einem Band oder Kombinationen davon sein.In another embodiment, the band-shaped support element is formed in one piece together with the front support part. This means that the front support part and the band-shaped support element are formed from a single piece and thus form a single support device. This support device can be made of a single-layer material, double-layer material, three-layer or multi-layer material, a band or combinations thereof.

Vorzugsweise ist das vordere Stützteil ein doppellagiges Material, und eine Membran ist zwischen den beiden Lagen des Materials angeordnet.Preferably, the front support member is a double layer material and a membrane is placed between the two layers of the material.

In einer Ausführungsform kann sich die Membran vom Schrittbereich bis zum Bund der Hose erstrecken. In einer anderen Ausführungsform ist die Membran im unteren, schrittnahen Bereich angeordnet, und erstreckt sich vom Schrittbereich der Hose über den Suspensoriumsbereich. Somit ist in dieser Ausführungsform die Membran derart zwischen den beiden Lagen des vorderen Stützelements angeordnet, dass sich die Membran lediglich über den Genitalbereich des Trägers erstreckt.In one embodiment, the membrane can extend from the crotch area to the waistband of the pants. In another embodiment, the membrane is arranged in the lower area close to the crotch and extends from the crotch area of the pants over the jockstrap area. Thus, in this embodiment, the membrane is arranged between the two layers of the front support element such that the membrane only extends over the genital area of the wearer.

Vorzugsweise ist die Membran feuchtigkeitsundurchlässig, mehr bevorzugt feuchtigkeitsundurchlässig und luftundurchlässig.Preferably the membrane is moisture impermeable, more preferably moisture impermeable and air impermeable.

Vorzugsweise weist das vordere Stützteil einen Eingriff auf. Der Eingriff ist vorzugsweise in einem bundnahen Bereich des Stützteils oder, sofern vorhanden, nahe am oberen Rand des Stützteils angeordnet.The front support part preferably has an engagement. The engagement is preferably arranged in a region of the support part near the collar or, if present, close to the upper edge of the support part.

Durch entsprechende Einstellung der Länge und/oder Breite des bandförmigen Stützelements und/oder entsprechende Wahl der Elastizität des Stützelements kann die Zugfunktion und Stützfunktion so reguliert werden, dass eine ausreichende Stützung gewährleistet wird und zugleich ein Verrutschen der Hose verringert oder vermieden wird. Es ist einsichtig, dass durch ein Kürzen der Länge des bandförmigen Stützelements das Stützelement umso enger am Körper des Trägers anliegt und eine entsprechend erhöhte Zug- und Stützfunktion bewirkt. Ähnliches gilt für die Breite des bandförmigen Stützelements. Eine Vergrößerung der Breite des Stützelements bewirkt eine vergrößerte Auflagefläche des Stützelements auf dem Körper des Trägers, üblicherweise im Rücken-, Becken- und Lendenbereich des Trägers. Je größer die Breite des Stützelements, desto größer die Auflagefläche und desto größer sind die Stützkräfte gegen ein Verrutschen der Hose.By adjusting the length and / or width of the band-shaped support element and / or appropriately choosing the elasticity of the support element, the pulling function and the supporting function can be regulated in such a way that sufficient support is ensured and at the same time slipping or avoiding of the pants. It is clear that by shortening the length of the band-shaped support element, the support element lies all the closer to the body of the wearer and causes a correspondingly increased traction and support function. The same applies to the width of the band-shaped support element. An increase in the width of the support element causes an enlarged contact surface of the support element on the body of the wearer, usually in the back, pelvis and lumbar region of the wearer. The greater the width of the support element, the larger the contact area and the greater the support forces against the pants slipping.

Vorzugsweise sind das vordere Stützteil und das bandförmige Stützelement aus demselben Material gefertigt. Vorzugsweise sind das vordere Stützteil und das bandförmige Stützelement elastisch, und weisen dieselbe Elastizität auf. Damit wird sichergestellt, dass das ein gleichmäßiger Zug ausgeübt wird und die Stützkräfte gleichmäßig verteilt werden.The front support part and the band-shaped support element are preferably made of the same material. The front support part and the band-shaped support element are preferably elastic and have the same Elasticity. This ensures that there is an even pull and that the support forces are evenly distributed.

Die erfindungsgemäße Hose weist vorzugsweise auch Hosenbeine auf. Die beiden Hosenbeine der Hose gehen vorzugsweise vom unteren Rand des bandförmigen Stützelements aus. Die beiden Hosenbeine sind vorzugsweise mit dem unteren Rand des bandförmigen Stützelements fest verbunden, beispielsweise durch Vernähen. Verkleben, Verschweißen oder Kombinationen davon.The pants according to the invention preferably also have pants legs. The two legs of the pants preferably extend from the lower edge of the band-shaped support element. The two pants legs are preferably firmly connected to the lower edge of the band-shaped support element, for example by sewing. Gluing, welding or combinations thereof.

Die Hosenbeine können vorzugsweise auch zumindest teilweise mit den Seitenrändern des vorderen Stützteils und, sofern vorhanden, auch mit dem unteren Rand des vorderen Stützteils fest verbunden sein, beispielsweise durch Vernähen, Verkleben, Verschweißen oder Kombinationen davon.The trouser legs can preferably also be at least partially firmly connected to the side edges of the front support part and, if present, also to the lower edge of the front support part, for example by sewing, gluing, welding or combinations thereof.

Vorzugsweise weist die Hose ferner ein Stützband auf, welches durchgehend von der Rückseite der Hose über die Seiten der Hose bis zumindest zum vorderen Stützteil verläuft.The pants preferably also have a support band which runs continuously from the back of the pants over the sides of the pants to at least the front support part.

Das Stützband dient dazu neben dem bandförmigen Stützelement die Stützfunktion der Hose zusätzlich zu erhöhen, und ein Ab- oder Verrutschen der Hose zu verhindern. Ein solches Stützband ist besonders bei Hosen für korpulentere oder unter Adipositas leidenden Männern von Vorteil. Aufgrund der körperlichen Gegebenheiten ist in diesen Fällen nicht nur eine erhöhte Stützfunktion, sondern auch eine erhöhte Absicherung gegen ein Verrutschen der Hose erforderlich. Das Stützband ist ebenso bei Hosen für sportliche Aktivitäten von Vorteil, da das Stützband und das bandförmige Stützelement die Hose, selbst bei hoher sportlicher Aktivität des Trägers, am Körper des Trägers positioniert und nicht verrutscht.In addition to the band-shaped support element, the support band also serves to increase the support function of the pants and to prevent the pants from slipping or slipping. Such a support band is particularly advantageous for trousers for men who are more obese or who suffer from obesity. Due to the physical conditions, not only an increased support function is required in these cases, but also an increased protection against slipping of the pants. The support band is also advantageous for trousers for sports activities, since the support band and the band-shaped support element position the trousers on the body of the wearer and do not slip, even when the wearer is very active.

Vorzugsweise ist das Stützband rundum durchgehend, und verläuft von der Rückseite der Hose über die Seiten der Hose und über den Schrittbereich der Hose. Das Stützband bildet somit eine Art Ring rund um den Körper des Trägers bildet. Durch eine solche Ausgestaltung verläuft das Stützband im Schrittbereich unterhalb der Genitalien des Trägers und erhöht damit, neben dem vorderen Stützteil, zusätzlich die Stützung der Genitalien.The support band is preferably continuous all the way and runs from the back of the pants over the sides of the pants and over the crotch area of the pants. The support band thus forms a kind of ring around the body of the wearer. With such a configuration, the support band runs in the Crotch area below the genitals of the wearer and thus increases, in addition to the front support part, the support of the genitals.

Die Kombination aus bandförmigen Stützelement und Stützband hat sich als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen, da Stützelement und Stützband in synergistischer Weise zusammenwirken.The combination of band-shaped support element and support band has proven to be particularly advantageous since the support element and support band interact in a synergistic manner.

Die Breite des Stützbandes liegt vorzugsweise zwischen 0.5 cm und 6 cm, mehr bevorzugt zwischen 1 cm und 4 cm, und meist bevorzugt zwischen 1.5 cm und 2.5 cm. Die Breite des Stützbands ist vorzugsweise kleiner als die Breite des bandförmigen Stützelements.The width of the support band is preferably between 0.5 cm and 6 cm, more preferably between 1 cm and 4 cm, and most preferably between 1.5 cm and 2.5 cm. The width of the support band is preferably smaller than the width of the band-shaped support element.

Vorzugsweise ist das Stützband elastisch oder ein Futter oder eine Naht oder Kombinationen davon. Ein elastisches Stützband kann beispielsweise aus Elasthan oder Polyurethan-Gummi bestehen. Vorzugsweise ist das elastische Stützelement ein Gurt oder ein Band. Ist das Stützband als Futter ausgeführt, so ist das Futter vorzugsweise auf das bandförmige Stützelement aufgenäht. Als Kombination kann beispielsweise eine Naht mit einem Polyurethan-Band als Stützband verwendet werden.The support band is preferably elastic or a lining or a seam or combinations thereof. An elastic support band can consist, for example, of elastane or polyurethane rubber. The elastic support element is preferably a belt or a band. If the support band is designed as a lining, the lining is preferably sewn onto the band-shaped support element. In combination, for example, a seam with a polyurethane tape can be used as a support tape.

Durch entsprechende Einstellung der Länge des Stützbandes und/oder entsprechende Wahl der Elastizität des Stützbandes kann die Stützfunktion bzw. die Stützkräfte so reguliert werden, dass eine ausreichende Stützung der Genitalien des Trägers gewährleistet ist und zugleich ein unangenehmes Druckgefühl auf die Genitalien als auch ein Verrutschen der Hose vermieden wird.By adjusting the length of the support band and / or selecting the elasticity of the support band, the support function or the support forces can be regulated in such a way that sufficient support for the genitals of the wearer is ensured and at the same time an uncomfortable feeling of pressure on the genitals as well as slipping of the Pants is avoided.

Das elastische Stützelement besteht vorzugsweise aus zwei oder mehreren unterschiedlichen Materialkomponenten, die an ihren jeweiligen Enden fest miteinander verbunden sind. Durch eine entsprechende Wahl dieser weiteren Materialkomponenten des Stützelements kann die Stützfunktion und die Elastizität so reguliert werden, dass eine ausreichende Stützung der Genitalien des Trägers gewährleistet ist und zugleich ein unangenehmes Druckgefühl auf die Genitalien vermieden wird. Die Materialkomponenten können hierbei durch Schweißen, Nähen oder Kleben fest miteinander verbunden werden.The elastic support element preferably consists of two or more different material components which are firmly connected to one another at their respective ends. By a corresponding choice of these additional material components of the support element, the support function and the elasticity can be regulated in such a way that sufficient support of the genitals of the wearer is ensured and at the same time an uncomfortable feeling of pressure on the genitals is avoided. The Material components can be firmly connected to one another by welding, sewing or gluing.

Vorzugsweise ist das Stützband im Schrittbereich verbreitert. Die Breite des elastischen Stützelements im Schrittbereich ist um einen Faktor von vorzugsweise 1,1 bis 10, mehr bevorzugt 1,2 bis 8, mehr bevorzugt 1,5 bis 5, und am meisten bevorzugt 1,8 bis 2,2 größer als die Breite im übrigen Bereich des Stützbandes. Die Verbreiterung hat den Vorteil, dass nicht nur ein Teil der Genitalien, sondern die Genitalien im Gesamten auf dem Stützband "aufliegen" können und somit gestützt und geschützt werden.The support band is preferably widened in the crotch area. The width of the elastic support element in the crotch region is greater than the width by a factor of preferably 1.1 to 10, more preferably 1.2 to 8, more preferably 1.5 to 5, and most preferably 1.8 to 2.2 in the rest of the support band. The broadening has the advantage that not only a part of the genitals, but the genitals as a whole can "rest" on the support band and are thus supported and protected.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das Stützband zumindest in Teilbereichen als zwei oder mehr parallel verlaufende Stützbänder ausgestaltet. Dadurch wird ein stärkerer Zug bzw. eine höhere Stützkraft des Stützbandes erreicht, was eine erhöhte Absicherung gegen Verrutschen der Hose ermöglicht. Dies ist beispielsweise bei einer stämmigeren oder korpulenteren Statur des männlichen Trägers von Bedarf.In a further embodiment of the invention, the support band is designed at least in partial areas as two or more support bands running in parallel. As a result, a stronger pull or a higher support force of the support band is achieved, which enables increased protection against the pants slipping. This is necessary, for example, if the male wearer has a stockier or more stout stature.

Bevorzugt ist in dieser weiteren Ausführungsform, dass die zwei oder mehr parallel verlaufenden Stützbänder im Schrittbereich in ein einziges Stützband übergehen. Damit wird vermieden, dass die Genitalien des Trägers in den Raum oder Spalt zwischen den parallel verlaufenden Stützbändern gelangen, und dort eingeschnitten oder eingeklemmt werden können.It is preferred in this further embodiment that the two or more parallel support bands merge into a single support band in the crotch area. This prevents the genitals of the wearer from entering the space or gap between the parallel support bands and being cut or pinched there.

Vorzugsweise verläuft das Stützband zumindest teilweise in einem Bereich des unteren Drittel der Breite des bandförmigen Stützelements, mehr bevorzugt zumindest teilweise entlang des unteren Randes des bandförmigen Stützelements. Vorzugsweise verläuft das Stützband über seine gesamte Länge in einem Bereich des unteren Drittel der Breite des bandförmigen Stützelements, mehr bevorzugt über seine gesamte Länge entlang des unteren Randes des bandförmigen Stützelements.The support band preferably extends at least partially in a region of the lower third of the width of the band-shaped support element, more preferably at least partially along the lower edge of the band-shaped support element. The support band preferably runs over its entire length in a region of the lower third of the width of the band-shaped support element, more preferably over its entire length along the lower edge of the band-shaped support element.

Das Stützband ist vorzugsweise an der Außenseite des bandförmigen Stützelements, an der Innenseite des bandförmigen Stützelements oder, sofern vorhanden, zwischen zwei Lagen des bandförmigen Stützelements angeordnet. Dabei kann das Stützband mit dem bandförmigen Stützelement verschweißt, vernäht oder verklebt sein.The support band is preferably arranged on the outside of the band-shaped support element, on the inside of the band-shaped support element or, if present, between two layers of the band-shaped support element. The support band can be welded, sewn or glued to the band-shaped support element.

Vorzugsweise weist die Hose zwei vertikale Stützbänder auf, welche jeweils vom Bund aus entlang eines Seitenrands des vorderen Stützteils bis zu einem oberen Rand des bandförmigen Stützelements oder bis zu einem unteren Rand des bandförmigen Stützelements oder bis in den Schrittbereich der Hose verlaufen.The pants preferably have two vertical support bands, each of which runs from the collar along a side edge of the front support part to an upper edge of the band-shaped support element or to a lower edge of the band-shaped support element or to the crotch area of the pants.

Die vertikalen Stützbänder sind vorzugsweise aus demselben Material gefertigt wie die Stützbänder wie oben beschrieben.The vertical support bands are preferably made of the same material as the support bands as described above.

In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind das vordere Stützteil und/oder das bandförmige Stützelement an einer Außenseite oder einer Innenseite des eigentlichen Gewebes oder Materials der Hose angeordnet.In one embodiment of the invention, the front support part and / or the band-shaped support element are arranged on an outside or an inside of the actual fabric or material of the pants.

Die Hose ist vorzugsweise eine Unterhose, mehr bevorzugt eine Sport-Unterhose, oder eine Badehose, mehr bevorzugt eine Sport-Badehose.The pants are preferably underpants, more preferably sports underpants, or swimming trunks, more preferably sports swimming trunks.

Weitere Einzelheiten, Merkmale und Vorteile des Gegenstands der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung der zugehörigen Figuren, in welchen beispielshaft bevorzugte Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung dargestellt sind.Further details, features and advantages of the object of the invention result from the following description of the associated figures, in which preferred exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown by way of example.

In einer ersten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist in den Figuren 1 und 2 eine Herrenhose (1) mit einem Bund (7) gezeigt. So weist die Hose (1) ein bandförmiges Stützelement (4) auf, welches teilumfänglich von der Rückseite (3) über die Seiten (8a, 8b) bis zum vorderen Stützteil (5) auf der Vorderseite (2) der Hose (1) verläuft. Der obere Rand (4a) des bandförmigen Stützelements (4) verläuft entlang des Bundes (7) der Hose (1) und ist mit diesem vernäht. Zudem schließt der obere Rand (4a) des bandförmigen Stützelements (4) bündig mit dem oberen Rand (5c) des vorderen Stützteils ab. Der untere Rand (4b) des bandförmigen Stützelements (4) verläuft ausgehend von den beiden Seitenrändern (5a, 5b) des vorderen Stützteils (5) bogenförmig über die jeweiligen Leistenbereiche (9a, 9b) hin zur Rückseite (3) der Hose (1).In a first embodiment of the invention is in the Figures 1 and 2nd a men's trousers (1) with a waistband (7) shown. The trousers (1) have a band-shaped support element (4), which extends in part from the back (3) over the sides (8a, 8b) to the front support part (5) on the front (2) of the trousers (1) . The upper edge (4a) of the band-shaped support element (4) runs along the collar (7) of the pants (1) and is sewn to it. In addition, the upper edge (4a) of the band-shaped support element (4) is flush with the upper edge (5c) of the front support part. The lower edge (4b) of the band-shaped support element (4), starting from the two side edges (5a, 5b) of the front support part (5), runs in an arc over the respective last areas (9a, 9b) to the rear (3) of the pants (1) .

Das vordere Stützelement (5) weist eine Länge (L), gemessen in Längsrichtung vom oberen Rand (5c) bis zum unteren Ende des Stützelements (5) im Schrittbereich (6), von 16,6 cm auf. Die Breite (B) des bandförmigen Stützelements (4) an seinen beiden Enden (4c, 4d) beträgt 8 cm. Entsprechend beträgt die Breite (B) an den Enden (4c, 4d) des bandförmigen Stützelements (4) 48% der Länge (L) des vorderen Stützteils (5), wodurch das bandförmige Stützelement (4) einen im wesentlichen horizontal gerichteten Zug auf die obere Hälfte des vorderen Stützelements (5) ausübt.The front support element (5) has a length (L), measured in the longitudinal direction from the upper edge (5c) to the lower end of the support element (5) in the crotch area (6), of 16.6 cm. The width (B) of the band-shaped support element (4) at its two ends (4c, 4d) is 8 cm. Accordingly, the width (B) at the ends (4c, 4d) of the band-shaped support element (4) is 48% of the length (L) of the front support part (5), whereby the band-shaped support element (4) exerts a substantially horizontally directed pull on the upper half of the front support element (5).

In Figur 2 ist auch die Breite (B) gezeigt, welche den Abstand zwischen dem oberen (4a) und unteren Rand (4b) des bandförmigen Stützelements (4) darstellt. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel weist das bandförmige Stützelement (4) eine variable Breite (B) auf, welche sich kontinuierlich im Verlauf um die Hose (1) ändert. So ist die Breite (BV) an der Vorderseite (2) gleich 8 cm, die Breite (BS) an den Seiten (8a, 8b) gleich 4,5 cm und die Breite (BR) an der Rückseite (3) der Hose (1) gleich 3 cm, siehe Figur 2.In Figure 2 the width (B) is also shown, which represents the distance between the upper (4a) and lower edge (4b) of the band-shaped support element (4). In this embodiment, the band-shaped support element (4) has a variable width (B) which changes continuously in the course of the pants (1). So the width (B V ) on the front (2) is 8 cm, the width (B S ) on the sides (8a, 8b) is 4.5 cm and the width (B R ) on the back (3) the pants (1) equal to 3 cm, see Figure 2 .

Das vordere Stützteil (5) verläuft vom Schrittbereich (6) der Hose (1) bis zum Bund (7) der Hose (1), wobei die Unterkante des Bundes (7) mit dem oberen Rand (5c) des Stützteils (5) vernäht ist. Das vordere Stützteil (5) weist ferner zwei Seitenränder (5a, 5b) auf, welche sich vom Bund (7) abwärts bogenförmig zum Schrittbereich (6) verlaufen und dort zusammengenäht sind, und somit das untere Ende des vorderen Stützteils (5) bilden. Die Seitenränder (5a, 5b) sind in ihren oberen Teilen mit den beiden Enden des bandförmigen Stützelements (4) vernäht.The front support part (5) runs from the crotch region (6) of the pants (1) to the collar (7) of the pants (1), the lower edge of the collar (7) being sewn to the upper edge (5c) of the support part (5) is. The front support part (5) also has two side edges (5a, 5b), which run downward in an arc from the collar (7) to the crotch area (6) and are sewn together there, and thus form the lower end of the front support part (5). The upper edges of the side edges (5a, 5b) are sewn to the two ends of the band-shaped support element (4).

Sowohl das vordere Stützteil (5) als auch das bandförmige Stützelement (4) sind jeweils einstückig ausgebildet und jeweils aus Elasthan gefertigt.Both the front support part (5) and the band-shaped support element (4) are each made in one piece and each made of elastane.

Wie aus Figuren 1 und 2 ersichtlich, weist die Hose (1) zwei Hosenbeine (10a, 10b) auf, welche mit dem unteren Rand (4b) des Stützelements (4) und, vom Schrittbereich (6) hinauf bis zu dem unteren Rand (4b), mit den Seitenränder (5a, 5b) vernäht sind.How from Figures 1 and 2nd can be seen, the pants (1) have two pants legs (10a, 10b), which with the lower edge (4b) of the support element (4) and, from the crotch area (6) up to the lower edge (4b), with the side edges (5a, 5b) are sewn.

Die Hose (1) der ersten Ausführungsform weist ferner ein einstückig ausgebildetes Stützband (12) auf, welches auf der Außenseite des Stützelements (4) angenäht und entlang und auf dem unteren Randes (4b) des Stützelements (4) angeordnet ist. Das Stützband ist ein elastisches Polyurethanband mit 5 mm Breite, und bewirkt einen von den Seitenrändern (5a, 5b) ausgehenden, zu den Leistenbereichen (9a, 9b) und Rückseite (3) der Hose (1) gerichteten Zug. Mit diesem Zug wird die Stützfunktion des vorderen Stützteils (5) signifikant erhöht.The trousers (1) of the first embodiment also have a one-piece support band (12) which is sewn on the outside of the support element (4) and arranged along and on the lower edge (4b) of the support element (4). The support band is an elastic polyurethane band with a width of 5 mm, and causes an outgoing from the side edges (5a, 5b) to the ledge areas (9a, 9b) and back (3) the pants (1) directed train. With this train, the support function of the front support part (5) is significantly increased.

Eine zweite Ausführungsform ist in den Figuren 3 und 4 gezeigt. Im Unterschied zur ersten Ausführungsform, wo das Stützband (12) an den Seitenrändern (5a, 5b) des vorderen Stützteils (5) geendet ist, verläuft das Stützband (12) in der zweiten Ausführungsform rundum durchgehend. Das bedeutet, dass das einstückig ausgebildete Stützband (12) weiter entlang der Seitenränder (5a, 5b) und über den Schrittbereich (6) der Hose (1) verläuft, und somit eine Art Ring rund um den Körper des Trägers bildet.A second embodiment is shown in FIGS Figures 3 and 4th shown. In contrast to the first embodiment, where the support band (12) ends at the side edges (5a, 5b) of the front support part (5), the support band (12) runs all around in the second embodiment. This means that the one-piece support band (12) runs further along the side edges (5a, 5b) and over the crotch area (6) of the pants (1), thus forming a kind of ring around the body of the wearer.

Durch eine solche Ausgestaltung verläuft das Stützband im Schrittbereich (6) unterhalb der Genitalien des Trägers und erhöht damit, neben dem vorderen Stützteil (5), zusätzlich die Stützung der Genitalien.With such a configuration, the support band runs in the crotch area (6) below the genitals of the wearer and thus, in addition to the front support part (5), additionally increases the support of the genitals.

Die Figuren 5 und 6 zeigen eine dritte Ausführungsform der Erfindung. Im Unterschied zur zweiten Ausführungsform werden in dieser dritten Ausführungsform zusätzlich zwei vertikale Stützbänder (12a, 12b) verwendet. Diese vertikalen Stützbänder (12a, 12b) erstrecken sich vom Bund (7) entlang der Seitenränder (5a, 5b) bis zum Stützband (12), wie aus Figuren 5 und 6 ersichtlich.The Figures 5 and 6 show a third embodiment of the invention. In contrast to the second embodiment, two vertical support bands (12a, 12b) are additionally used in this third embodiment. These vertical support bands (12a, 12b) extend from the collar (7) along the side edges (5a, 5b) to the support band (12), as from Figures 5 and 6 evident.

Die vertikalen Stützbänder (12a, 12b) sind sowohl mit dem Bund (7) als auch mit dem Stützband (12) vernäht, und üben einen vertikalen, Richtung Bund (7) gerichteten Zug aus. Damit werden die Genitalien durch einen zusätzlichen, vertikal gerichteten Zug gestützt.The vertical support bands (12a, 12b) are sewn to both the collar (7) and the support band (12) and exert a vertical pull directed towards the collar (7). The genitals are supported by an additional, vertically directed pull.

Figur 7 zeigt eine vierte Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Hose. Neben dem rundum durchgehenden Stützband (12) weist das bandförmige Stützelement (4) an seinen beiden Enden zwei Aussparungen (11a, 11b) auf, welche an die beiden Seitenränder (5a, 5b) des vorderen Stützteils (5) sowie einen Teil des Bundes (7) der Hose (1) angrenzen. Beide Aussparungen (11a, 11b) haben in diesem Beispiel eine dreieckige Form. Figure 7 shows a fourth embodiment of the pants according to the invention. In addition to the all-round support band (12), the band-shaped support element (4) has two recesses (11a, 11b) at both ends, which are connected to the two side edges (5a, 5b) of the front support part (5) and part of the collar ( 7) adjoin the pants (1). In this example, both cutouts (11a, 11b) have a triangular shape.

Figur 8 zeigt eine Ansicht der Rückseite (3) einer weiteren Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Hose (1), welche einen Bund (7) mit oberen (7a) und unteren Rand (7b) aufweist. Das bandförmige Stützelement (4), welches eine Breite (B) von 3,5 cm aufweist, ist mit dem unteren Rand (7b) des Bundes (7) fest vernäht. Zwei Hosenbeine (10a, 10b) gehen vom unteren Rand (4b) des bandförmigen Stützelements (4) aus und sind mit diesem fest vernäht. Figure 8 shows a view of the back (3) of a further embodiment of the pants (1) according to the invention, which has a collar (7) with upper (7a) and lower edge (7b). The band-shaped support element (4), which has a width (B) of 3.5 cm, is firmly sewn to the lower edge (7b) of the waistband (7). Two trouser legs (10a, 10b) start from the lower edge (4b) of the band-shaped support element (4) and are firmly sewn to it.
