Description

TECHNICAL AREA

The present invention relates to a garment of the type comprising a top and a bottom integral with one another.

PRIOR ART

US 2,100,869 A describes a stretch mesh sportswear which includes a top forming a tennis polo. This polo is extended on the back by a posterior portion which hides the buttocks of the user who wears the garment. This posterior portion comprises a crotch tongue which has a free end which comes on the front of the top. The crotch tab is removably attached to the polo, by means of buttons sewn with elastic threads. These buttons are arranged along a rounded opening which forms a notch in the top of the garment.

This garment is designed for sports and allows great freedom of movement due to the elastics fitted to the buttons, the stretch mesh used for the entire garment and the rounded shape of the notch which always maintains the tongue forming crotch under tension.

On the other hand, this garment can not be made in a fabric; it is mandatory to use a knit fabric.

Moreover, the tension of the tongue is uncomfortable and sometimes generates lesions or causes macerations that can degenerate into irritation or fungal infections.

In addition, the garment described in the aforementioned document is not very seyant and, or marries the forms too, or on the contrary forms a tube around the waist due to the tensioning of the extensible fabric by the tongue forming crotch.

Moreover, the only adjustment to the size of the user comes from the elastics with which are sewn buttons. It is therefore necessary to provide a large choice of different sizes so that any user can actually find a garment of this type adapted to its morphology.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

An object of the present invention is to solve all or part of the technical problems related to the aforementioned prior art.

Furthermore, there is a need for clothing that has the appearance of a shirt, a shirt or any type of ordinary top but which could at any time remain close to the body of the user. Indeed, when a user wearing pants, especially low-rise pants, bends down, the lower part of his back, or even his buttocks is often visible because not hidden by the top that came out of the pants during his movement. Similarly, when wearing a high-waisted skirt or shorts or high-waisted pants, body movements tend to bring out the blouse of the skirt making the bust of the user informed and unsightly.

Another object of the present invention is therefore to propose a garment having a top and a bottom integral but which gives to its user the same aesthetic appearance as that conferred by the same top that would not be secured to a stocking.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention thus provides a garment of the type comprising a top and a bottom integral and extending in a longitudinal direction, said bottom comprising a crotch tongue which has an end secured to the back of said top and a free end which is adapted to be removably attached to the front of said garment to form the crotch of said garment.

Characteristically according to the invention, the garment comprises a support band, elastically deformable, which is able to position itself around the hips of the user and a fastening tab which extends under said holding strip, on the front said garment, and said free end of said crotch tab and said securing tab respectively comprise first and second securing means for releasably securing said free end of said crotch tab to said securing tab.

The presence of the elastically deformable holding band reduces the tension in the crotch by distributing the forces exerted between the top and bottom over the entire perimeter of the holding band. The top is no longer held in place by the tongue forming crotch, as is the case in the aforementioned prior art, but by the holding strip which remains in place on the basin of the user. The bottom is therefore placed as an undergarment without exerting tension in the crotch.

The holding strip may surround the entire user's pelvis or only a portion of the pelvis.

Advantageously, said top has a width at least equal to the width of said holding strip. It is thus possible to obtain a garment that does not stick to the waist and does not mold the shapes.

Preferably, said top has a length in said longitudinal direction such that when said garment is worn by a user, the top being in contact with the shoulders of said user and said crotch positioned at the crotch of said user, said top is bouffant or forms a fold oriented towards said bottom. One can thus obtain a fluid garment with a blousing appearance that has the same appearance as that which would be conferred from the top if it was not associated with the bottom. The voltage between the top and the bottom is zero. This type of garment also has the advantage of being suitable for several types of morphologies and for several bust lengths. It is therefore no longer necessary to provide a large number of sizes. The cost of manufacturing the garment is thus reduced.

In addition, this type of clothing is particularly suitable for wearing low-waisted trousers and the wearing of waist-high skirts or shorts or high-waisted pants, the garment entered into the skirt is not likely to eat above the size of the latter , even when the user moves.

According to a first embodiment, more particularly adapted to the users, said bottom comprises a rear portion which extends said holding strip at the back of said garment, in said longitudinal direction, said posterior portion is able to cover at least partially the buttocks of the user / user, said crotch tab extends said posterior portion and said holding strip, said attachment tab, said posterior portion and said crotch strip define lateral openings for passage of the user's legs, when said free end of said crotch tab is attached to said bracket.

According to a second embodiment which is particularly adapted to the users, said bottom forms a slip which extends under said holding band and which possibly comprises leg sleeves which define lateral openings for the passageways of the user's legs, then forming a boxer, said brief / boxer comprises a longitudinal ease opening which extends under said fastening tab to the back of said underpants / boxer and said crotch tab covers said opening of ease, when said free end of said crotch tab is attached to said bracket. The ease of opening aforementioned allows to discover the sex of the user, the crotch area and part of the user's bottom so as to allow him to go to the toilet without removing the garment

Advantageously, the crotch-shaped tongue forms a pocket, has a width greater than that of said opening of comfort so as to cover the bottom zone bordering said opening of ease

Advantageously, the longitudinal edges of said crotch tongue are elastically deformable. This embodiment allows the user to urinate without disconnecting the crotch tab of the bracket. In the female version, this variant makes it possible to have good support at the thighs of the user. The fabric of the garment is not limited according to the invention. The garment can be made partially or entirely of cotton mesh, possibly containing an elastane-type elastic yarn, percale including cotton, muslin or any synthetic or natural fabric.

According to the invention, the garment can be formed of a single piece or of several pieces assembled. It can be formed of a back and a front assembled and essentially formed of a knit.

Advantageously, the bottom is knitted and comprises said holding strip which surrounds the entire pelvis of the user.

The top and said bottom can be two parts assembled; said top may have a width greater than that of said holding strip and possibly be essentially formed of a fabric, the edge of said top which is secured to said holding strip then possibly including elastic means. Thus, according to a particular variant, the top forms a fabric shirt, the bottom is mesh and the lower edge of the top comprises an elastic which reduces its width to that of the holding band, this elastic being mounted on the holding band , reinforcing the elastic support of the latter on the body of the user.

According to the invention, the first and second fixing means are not limited. For example, they form a zipper or are selected from a plurality of buttons and a buttonhole, two strips respectively comprising hooks and loops adapted to cooperate for their attachment, staples and attachment loops of these staples, snap fasteners and fasteners adapted to be magnetically assembled. The zipper has the advantage of being strong, resistant to washing and convenient to use.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

The present invention will be better understood on reading two detailed examples of embodiment with reference to the appended figures, provided by way of non-limiting example, among which: FIG. 1a is a front view of a first embodiment of a garment according to the invention; FIG. 1b is a front view of an alternative embodiment of the first embodiment; FIG. 2a shows a front view of a second embodiment, the crotch tab being attached to the bracket; FIG. 2b is a front view of the second embodiment, the crotch tab having been completely removed for the sake of clarity; and - FIG. 2c is a back view of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 2b.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference to FIG. 1a, a first embodiment of the invention will now be described. According to this first embodiment, the entire garment is organic cotton mesh containing a spandex yarn. This garment has a top 1 in the shape of a jersey or T-shirt for women. The bottom 3 of the garment forms a single piece with the top 1. The width L of the top 1 is the same as that of the holding band 31 and corresponds to the maximum width of the garment. The holding band 31, indicated in dashed lines, corresponds to the zone of the garment which is positioned on the hips of the user. The fastening tab 33 forms a kind of tip which extends the holding band 31 down the garment. The bottom 3 has the shape of a slip. The crotch tab 39 extends the posterior portion 38 which covers the buttocks of the user. This rear portion 38 defines, in cooperation with the tongue forming crotch 39 and the bracket 33, the openings 37 for the passage of the legs of the user. The edges of the openings 37 can be elasticated. The free end of the crotch tab 39 is fixed on the fastening tab 33 by means of a slide fastener 5. The slide fastener 5 is fixed on the fastening tab 33 so that a portion of the latter is present between the skin of the user and the zipper 5. The fastening tab 33 thus forms a clean band which avoids the contact between the skin and the zipper 5, thus reducing the risks of allergies and pinching. The zipper 5 is disposed substantially on the front of the garment above the crotch, substantially at the pubis of the user which makes it easy to close and open.

Fig. 1b shows an alternative embodiment of the embodiment of FIG. 1a. According to this variant, the top 1 is a non-stretch cotton fabric blouse. The bottom 3 is in cotton mesh. The lower free edge of the blouse 1 comprises a hem in which is inserted an elastic. The width L of the blouse is greater than the width of the retaining band 31. The aforesaid elastic adjusts the width of the bottom of the blouse to that of the retaining band 31. The lower elasticated edge of the blouse 1 is sewn at the upper edge of the holding band 31 which leads to the formation of longitudinal folds 13. The garment is therefore two pieces of different fabrics. The elastic of the blouse 1 reinforces the elasticity of the retaining band 31 and allows the assembly of the two parts 1 and 3. For this type of garment, the length of the top is greater than that of the bust of the user in order to get a blousing rendering; thus obtaining, wearing the garment according to the invention, the same aesthetic appearance as that obtained with a shirt tucked into a pant or skirt.

With reference to Figs. 2a to 2c, a second embodiment will now be described. The elements of this second embodiment which are in common with the aforementioned first are referenced identically.

This second embodiment is intended for a user. Top 1 forms a fabric shirt, while bottom 3 forms a mesh boxer. The bottom 3 comprises a retaining band 31 of elastic which extends to the crotch of the boxer by a fastening lug 33 more visible in FIG. 2b. the bracket is an integral part of the boxer. The crotch tab 39 is secured to the bracket 33 by means of a slide fastener 5 (see Fig. 2a). As shown in FIG. 2b, the underpants have an opening that extends from the front zone of the underpants, located under the fastening tab 31 to its rear portion 38 (visible in Figure 2c), via the crotch. With reference to Figs. 2a to 2c, the bottom 3 comprises leg sleeves 35 which each surround a thigh of the user, when the garment is worn. The leg sleeves 35 define the openings 37 for the passage of the legs of the user. As shown in FIG. 2b, the zone between the leg sleeves 35 is open. The crotch tab 39 is attached to the rear portion 38 of the bottom 3 as shown in FIG. 2c, at the level of a rounded seam 4.

The width I2 of the opening (see Fig. 2b) extending from below the fastening tab 33 to the posterior portion 38 is less than the width 11 (see Fig. 2a) of the crotch tab 39. there is therefore a superposition between these two parts when the tongue 39 is fixed to the bracket 33. This cover ensures the coverage of the body of the user regardless of the movements of the latter. Moreover, the tongue 39 forms a pocket that protrudes from the front of the boxer. The two side edges 391 and 393 of the tongue 39 are provided with elastics which ensure the correct positioning of the tongue 39 when it is fixed on the fastening tab 33. The sex of the user thus remains always covered by the tongue forming crotch 39, when the latter is fixed to the fixing lug 31, as shown in FIG. 2a.

In the particular embodiment shown here, the tongue 39 further includes a slot 395 which allows the user to urinate without having to separate the crotch tab 39 from the fastening tab 33. This slot is optional because the user can also use the elasticity of the bottom 3 and side edges 391 and 393 of the tongue 39 to urinate without opening the zipper 5.

When the crotch tab 39 is attached to the bracket, as shown in FIG. 2a, the lower body of the user is completely covered. When the user opens the zipper 5 and separates the two uprights, the crotch tongue 39 falls to the rear portion 38 allowing the user to go to the seat without removing the garment.

Of course, other features of the invention could also have been envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the claims below.
