Description

DESCRIPTION

Protective undergarment

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention refers to a protective undergarment, designed to be tightly adapted to the user's body as a "second skin" without tightening, being able to materialize both in a top, t-shirt or tights, and whose purpose is to offer a means of protection against impacts, cuts or punctures that goes completely unnoticed.

The object of the invention is to provide an ultra-durable protective undergarment, of great resistance and comfort, light and with a high degree of breathability.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the field of protective garments commonly used by State security forces, garments made entirely of fabrics with high resistance to cuts and punctures, as well as to impacts are known.

However, this type of garment presents a varied problem, of which the following should be noted:

• These are heavy garments, which negatively affect the physical performance of its users.

• These are fabrics that hardly perspire, which negatively affects the physical performance of its users.

• In the case of incorporating external reinforcements, these are visible, allowing the aggressor to choose another area on which to attack, with the consequent risk that this entails.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The protective undergarment that is recommended solves in a fully satisfactory way the above-mentioned problems based on a simple but highly effective solution.

For this, and more specifically, starting from the conventional structuring of an undergarment, in which a cut based on pieces of multidirectional elastic fabric participates, the garment of the invention focuses its characteristics on incorporating reinforcements in strategic areas , more vulnerable or maximum exposure of the garment, obtained from high modulus thermoplastic polyethylene or UHMWPE (Ultra-highmolecular-weight polyethylene).

It is a light, elastic, breathable material and, above all, with a high capacity to resist abrasion, puncture and cut, which makes the garment ultra-durable and can be used as a means of internal protection, under clothing or regular uniform, going completely unnoticed, all without affecting the original performance for which this type of compression garment was intended.

Consequently, the garment of the invention can be materialized indistinctly in a top, a tight shirt or tights, whose weight will hardly be increased with respect to this type of garment, resulting in a comfortable, light, breathable garment, fully adaptable to the physiognomy. of the user, fast drying and high protection.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is going to be made below and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of a practical embodiment thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows a front perspective view of a protective undergarment made in accordance with the object of the present invention, in a variant embodiment in which the garment is embodied in a top.

Figure 2.- Shows a rear elevation view of the garment of figure 1.

Figure 3.- Shows a front elevation view of a protective garment made according to the object of the invention, materialized in tights or shorts.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the outlined figures, it can be seen how the protective undergarment of the invention can be materialized indistinctly in any type of tight undergarment, be it a top (1) or tights (6), so that, in the variant embodiment of figures 1 and 2 it can be seen how said top (1) is of the type made from a body made from pieces of multidirectional elastic fabric, which adapt comfortably and tightly to the physiognomy of the user, with a pair of front straps (2) that converge in their back area into a single strap (2 ') with adjustment means (10), including an elastic lower adjustment band (3) with adjustable closure (5), with the particularity that reinforcements (4) based on high modulus thermoplastic polyethylene are established in the area of the chest cups.

These reinforcements provide a highly effective means of protection against cuts or punctures, passing completely unnoticed under the wearer's clothing, without negatively affecting perspiration or mobility.

More specifically, high modulus thermoplastic polyethylene, in addition to being a breathable material, is also elastic and deformable, so it does not negatively affect the comfort of the garment, significantly increasing its resistance to cuts, blows or punctures, without increasing just the weight of the garment.

The fabric absorbs sweat and dries quickly, which increases comfort when wearing the garment.

According to the variant embodiment of figure 3, the garment can be made into meshes (6), also from pieces of multidirectional elastic fabric, with an upper elastic tape (7) and elastic bands (9) in the extremities of their leg loops, which can include pockets (8) in said leg loops, with the special feature that in the internal area of the legs and the crotch it incorporates a reinforcement (4 ') based on high modulus thermoplastic polyethylene.

In this way, meshes are obtained that allow to conceally protect any attempt to puncture or cut directed towards the femoral arteries, thus avoiding the corresponding risk of bleeding that this entails, all with a structure that makes the garment light, comfortable, breathable and extremely resistant.

Claims (3)

1st.- Protective undergarment, which can be materialized in a top or in tights, in which a cut based on pieces of multidirectional elastic fabric participates, which adapt tightly to the user's physiognomy, is characterized by the fact that the garment includes reinforcements based on high modulus thermoplastic polyethylene on the most vulnerable areas of the covered body surface. 2.- Protective undergarment, according to claim ia, characterized in that it is materialized in a top (1), with its corresponding straps (2) and an elastic lower adjustment band (3), with the particularity that in the area of the Chest cups incorporates reinforcements (4) based on high modulus thermoplastic polyethylene. 3 a.- Protective undergarment, according to claim ia, characterized in that it is materialized in meshes (6) that in the internal area of the legs and the crotch incorporates a reinforcement (4 ') based on high modulus thermoplastic polyethylene.
