  FIG. 1A is an illustration of a back view of a garment device 10 according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 1B is an illustration of a front view of the garment device 10 of FIG. 1A according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 1C is an illustration of a side cross-sectional view of the garment device 10 of FIGS. 1A-1B according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 1D is an illustration of a top perspective view of the garment device 10 of FIGS. 1A-1B according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIGS. 1A-1D, the clothing device 10, which may simply be referred to as “device 10”, is a clothing item that can be worn by a person, ie an adult or a minor male person, in this case The device 10 can provide support for the genitals of adult or minor male wearers.

  Apparatus 10 is comprised of portions of fabric material 20 that are sewn or otherwise attached to one another with other garment features to form a finished garment. For example, portions of the fabric material 20 may include a rear panel 22 positioned substantially over the buttocks of the user, and two leg panels 24 connected to the rear panel 22 and substantially covering each of the user's legs. It may include a center panel 26 located on the lower surface of the user's crotch between the user's two legs and a fly panel 28 positioned substantially to cover the user's genitals on the front of the device 10 . At the lower end of the device 10, the combination of the leg panel 24 and the center panel 26 may define a leg opening 30, and within the leg opening 30 when the device 10 is worn the central thigh or upper side of the user The thigh is positioned. At the upper end of the device 10, the combination of the rear panel 22, the leg panel 24 and the fly panel 28 may be sewn to a waistband 32 located around the waist or waist of the user when the device 10 is worn Good. Each of the panels of fabric material 20 may be sewn together at seams 12 using threads and any type of stitching such as flat lock stitching.

  Although the rear panel 22 and the leg panel 24 may be similar to the equivalent panels found in the prior art, the center panel 26 and the fly panel 28 are unique and provide significant advantages over the prior art. Specifically, these panels are used in combination with the conduit 40 and cord 50 located substantially along the edge of the fly panel 28 so that the user fly around the genitals of the wearer The size of the fly panel 28 can be adjusted to shrink the panel 28, so that a bag capable of supporting the user's genitals is effectively formed in the device 10. The conduit 40 may include a closed channel of fabric having an elongated inner portion or pocket within which the cord 50 may be located. The cord 50 may comprise any type of material used as a drawstring, such material may comprise a sufficiently durable material to be placed under tension without breaking. The cords 50 may have any size or length and may be formed from various materials. While it is often preferred to form the cord 50 from a substantially non-stretchable material, a stretchable material may be used.

  The movement of the cord 50 within the conduit 40 is as movement between the two forms, ie between the first form in which the cord 50 is relatively untensioned and the second form in which the cord 50 is placed under tension. It can be regarded substantially as movement. It should be noted that any further number of forms may be used with the device 10, and the first and second forms described herein may include variations. When the cord 50 is placed under tension while the cord is in the conduit 40, the cord can contract the conduit 40 and a portion of the fly panel 28 and / or other panels within the device 10. One end of the cord 50 may be attached to the structure of the device, such as the waistband 32, to place the cord 50 under tension or to release the cord from tension, in which case both ends of the cord 50 May be tied to each other after being given.

  Two general forms of the device 10 can be seen in FIGS. 1C-1D, where FIG. 1C shows a fly panel 28 with a bag 34 that can internally support the user's genitals when the device 10 is worn. , Draw the device 10 with the cord 50 under tension. The sack 34 is a pocket formed by the fly panel 28 which can be housed together so that the entire male user's genitals can not be separated, ie the testis and penis of the user can be clamped together in the sack 34 is there. As shown in FIG. 1C, the conduit 40 is formed at the seam 12 between the fly panel 28 and the leg panel 24 and the center panel 26 forming the bladder 34 so that the conduit 40 substantially defines the border of the bladder 34. Be positioned. When the apparatus 10 is worn and tension is applied to the cord 50 to form the bag 34 with the fly panel 28 in relation to the anatomy of the male user, the testis and penis of the male user will have the fly panel 28 and the center panel. The seam 12 between 26 and 26 may be completely positioned within the bag 34 with the seam 12 positioned under the user's perineal area. An embodiment in which the cord 50 is not tensioned can be clearly seen in FIG. 1D, in which the fly panel 28 is not totally retracted to form the bag 34 of FIG. 1C.

  As best shown in FIG. 1D, conduit 40 has an outer edge of fly panel 28 such that conduit 40 substantially occupies the space above seam 12 between fly panel 28 and center panel 26 or leg panel 24. Can be substantially located along the It should be noted that other locations and locations of conduit 40 may be included, including locations and locations off seams 12. Furthermore, although FIG. 1D shows the seam 12 around the fly panel 28 as being offset from the conduit 40, depending on the construction of the device 10, the conduit 40 covers the seam 12 or only slightly from the seam 12 depending on the construction of the device 10. It should be noted that it may be located offset to. In many cases, the conduit may be sewn into the seam 12 such that the conduit 40 is substantially over the seam 12.

  The location of the conduit 40 relative to the user's anatomy when the device 10 is worn places the lowermost part of the conduit along the center panel 26 in the user's perineal area with the conduit 40 rising upwards towards the waistband 32 You may be able to In the waistband 32, the conduit 40 may be directed towards the center of the device 10, and the conduit 40 may terminate at a central position of the device 10 or at an offset from the central position. For example, in FIG. 1D, the center of the device 10 is located substantially between the two eyelets 36 of the waistband 32. The cord 50 may be positioned through one of the eyelets 36 so that it can exit the end of the conduit 40 and access one end of the cord 50 from a location outside the device 10. As shown, the cords 50 may themselves be crossed at locations between the ends of the conduits 40 on both sides and the eyelets 36. The intersection of the cords 50 may be important in allowing the cords 50 and the conduit 40 to form a completely closed bag 34 without leaving a gap at the top of the bag 34, for example. In other words, the intersection of the cords 50 helps to draw the sides of the fly panel 28 together to provide a bag 34 that fits snugly. Further, it should be noted that the conduit 40 extends past the eyelet 36 on both sides of the device 10 so that the cord 50 remains in position within the conduit 40 just below the eyelet 36.

  FIG. 2 is an illustration of a cross-sectional view of a seam 12 and a conduit 40 of the garment device 10 of FIGS. 1A-1D according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As can be seen in FIG. 2, a seam 12 may be formed between two pieces of fabric material. Here, the two illustrated pieces of fabric material include a waistband 32 and a fly panel 28, where the two structures are connected together at stitching 12 by stitching 14. Also, as shown, the conduit 40 is able to hold the conduit 40 against the seam 12 using the same stitching 14 used to hold the waistband 32 against the fly panel 28. It may be positioned to directly cover the stitching 14 of the seam 12. The conduit 40 may comprise a folded or non-sandwich type configuration, in which case the conduit 40 is formed from a piece of fabric material that is folded onto itself towards the point where the edges meet. The portion of the conduit 40 where the edges meet is stitched at the seam 12 to provide a suture edge 44 of the conduit 40, while the opposite edge of the conduit 40 may be understood as a fold edge 42. The interior space of the conduit 40 in which the cord 50 is located may be located near the fold edge 42. The conduit 40 may have a folding edge 42 and a stitching edge 44 along its entire length or a portion thereof. In contrast, a sandwich-type conduit form may comprise two separate pieces of material, which pieces are sewn together at their opposite edges, whereby they are formed by the sandwich of the two structures Conduit 40 is provided. The use of the non-sandwich type conduit 40 in manufacturing the device 10 can significantly reduce costs compared to the sandwich type conduit form.

  FIG. 3A is a schematic view of the center panel 26 and the fly panel 28 of the garment apparatus of FIGS. 1A-1D according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIGS. 1A-1D and 3A, the center panel 26 of the device 10 may be connected to the fly panel 28, the leg panel 24 and the rear panel 22 by stitching 14 at a number of seams 12. In order to improve the comfort of using the device 10, for example, in order to reduce the pressure on the scrotum and to prevent the device 10 from "sliding up" at the user's buttocks, the fly panel 28 is within the notch of the center panel It may be extended to. For example, the lower edge 29 of the fly panel 28 may extend beyond the front edge 26 a of the center panel 26 towards the midpoint 27 of the center panel 26. The end of the lower edge 29 may be located substantially at the centerline 27 or at a midpoint or near the centerline 27 across the center panel 26.

  The shape of the lower edge 29 may comprise a curved bow shape, as shown in FIGS. 1D and 3A, in which case the seams 12 along the lower edge 29 form a curve along the radius The curve extends between the seam intersections between the fly panel 28 and the leading edge 26 a of the center panel 26. The extension of the lower edge 29 of the fly panel 28 along the curve provides a conduit path along the lower edge 29 which is larger than the width dimension 28 a of the fly panel 28. FIG. 3B is a schematic view of the center panel 26 and the fly panel 28 of the garment device of FIGS. 1A-1D according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Unlike FIG. 3A, FIG. 3B shows the lower edge 29 of the fly panel 28 to extend to the centerline 27 of the center panel 26 with an angular shape, ie a trapezoidal shape, in this case the lower edge The straight edges of the part 29 are positioned substantially parallel to the center line 27 and aligned. Here, the shape of the lower edge portion 29 may have a straight edge from the intersection of the front edge 26 a and the fly panel 28 to the center line 27 and a straight line along the center line 27. Yet another form is shown in FIG. 3C, which is a schematic view of the center and fly panels of the garment apparatus of FIGS. 1A-1D according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Here it can be seen that the lower edge 29 of the fly panel 28 extends to the centerline 27 of the center panel 26 with a triangular shape, the apex of the triangle being substantially located at the centerline 27 of the center panel 26. The triangular shaped sides may each extend in a straight path directly from the respective corners of the leg panel 24 and the fly panel 28 to substantially the center point for both its length and width of the center panel 26. .

  Furthermore, it should be noted that the position of the end of the fly panel 28 entering into the center panel 26 may vary depending on the configuration of the device. For example, in many situations it may be preferable that the junction of the fly panel 28 and the lower edge 29 or the center panel 26 be located at the center line 27 of the center panel 26. In another form, the position of the joint may be specified by the dimensional distance from the front edge 26 a of the center panel 26. For example, the joints may be located at a distance of 0 cm to 6 cm or more from the leading edge 26a, depending on the configuration of the device, and in some circumstances the joints may be the trailing edge of the center panel 26 ( May extend to the back seam). Although the conduit 40 (FIGS. 1B-1D) is not depicted in FIGS. 3A-3C, the conduit extends along the seam between the fly panel 28 and the adjacent panel, eg along the outer periphery of the fly panel 28. Note that it may be.

  It should be noted that the conduit 40 may include different features, characteristics or configurations to enhance the functionality and use of the device 10. For example, conduit 40 may include a single conduit structure extending in a completely seamless manner between the ends of conduit 40, as shown in FIG. 1D. Other configurations may include securing the cord 50 at a particular location in the conduit 40 to prevent the cord 50 from being inadvertently withdrawn from the conduit 40. Additionally, by securing the cord 50 within the conduit 40, the cord 50 may be able to retract the fly panel 28 at selected points on the conduit 40.

  As an example, FIG. 4A is a schematic view of the conduits 40 and cords 50 in the center panel 26 and the fly panel 28 of the garment apparatus of FIGS. 1A-1D according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure; The cords 50 are fixed by means of fixed stitches 16 at two places near the centerline 27 of the center panel 26 with respect to the conduit 40. The fixed stitch 16 may comprise a thread engaged between the sidewall of the conduit 40 and the length of the adjacent cord 50. Although two fixed stitches 16 are shown, it may be envisaged to use any number of fixed stitches 16 including one. In the test, by using two fixed stitches 16 on both sides of the midpoint 28b of the fly panel 28, the fixed stitch 16 can be prevented from being positioned over the user's perceptual seam, whereby the fixed stitch 16 is It has been found that it is possible to prevent stimulation of the anatomical region of the user's perineal suture line or its immediate vicinity. When the configuration shown in FIG. 4A is used, by tensioning the cord 50 on both sides of the fly panel 28, the cord 50 can equally pull the lower edge 29 of the fly panel 28.

  FIG. 4B is a schematic view of the conduit 40 and cord 50 in the center panel 26 and the fly panel 28 of the garment apparatus of FIGS. 1A-1D according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Similar to the embodiment of FIG. 4A, FIG. 4B shows an embodiment in which the cords 50 are fixed relative to the conduit 40 by means of the fixing stitches 16 at two places near the center line 27 of the center panel 26. The fixed stitch 16 may comprise a thread engaged between the sidewall of the conduit 40 and the length of the adjacent cord 50. A gap 38 may be formed in the conduit 40 between the fixed stitches 16 to further prevent stimulation of the user's perceptual seam. The gap 38 may be formed by terminating the conduit 40 at the fixed stitch 16 such that the gap 38 (in the absence of the conduit 40) is located over the midpoint 28b of the fly panel 28. Again, in the test, the test uses two fixed stitches 16 on either side of the midpoint 28b of the fly panel 28 and secures by forming a gap 38 by removing portions of the conduit 40 between the fixed stitches It has been found that the stitches 16 or conduits 40 can be prevented from stimulating the anatomical region at or immediately adjacent the user's perineal seam.

  The fly panel 28 of the device 10 may include various forms. For example, in one form, the fry panel 28 may be formed from a single piece of material or from multiple pieces of material. 5A-5C are various schematic views of the multiple-piece fly panel 28 of the garment device of FIGS. 1A-1D in accordance with the first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIGS. 5A-5C illustrate a fly panel 28 formed from two fabric materials 28c, 28d overlapping one another. As shown in FIG. 5A, the two fabric materials 28c, 28d may have distinct shapes. For example, one piece 28c may have a notch facing the right hand, while the other piece 28d may have a notch facing the left. When these fabric materials are superimposed on one another as shown in FIG. 5B, the fry panel 28 is completely closed because the notches of the pieces 28c, 28d overlap the non-notch areas. The fact that the fly panel 28 is completely closed means that there is no continuously open hole or slot formed through the fly panel 28. Rather, the fly panel 28 is used by the user to form the holes 28e which are opened by pulling the notches of each piece 28c, 28d towards each other until the holes 28e are formed as shown for example in FIG. 5C. It must be operated by

  Advantageously, the fly panel 28 does not have a constantly open hole. This is because having such holes reduces the support provided by the bag. Thus, the device 10 uses a permanent hole for the penis to protrude and pierce in the fly area and often the user's penis is located in a clothing area separate from the user's scrotum It differs significantly from conventional devices known as suspension bands which also have a fabric partition located between the scrotum and the penis. According to this disclosure, the suspension includes a device in the fabric with a constantly open hole for the penis to be positioned through such that the penis is at least partially separated from the scrotum. As characterized and understood. The device 10 may include a fly panel 28 that provides the ability to form a temporary entry through hole 28a for urination, and the device also has a partition between them to separate the penis from the scrotum. I do not.

  6A-6B are illustrations of side cross-sectional and front views of the panel 28 of the garment device of FIGS. 1A-1D according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, the configurations of FIGS. 6A-6B depict the use of a two-piece fly panel 28 that can receive a rigid protection device 60, such as a cup for genital protection. The two-piece fly panel 28 has a first fragment 28 c positioned as the inside of the fly panel 28 and a second fragment 28 d positioned as the outer surface. A pocket is formed between the first and second fragments 28c, 28d that is sized to receive the hard protection device 60. When the hard protection device 60 is positioned in the pocket, the cord 50 may be tensioned in the conduit 40 to retract the fly panel 28 around the hard protection device 60 and the user's genitals. The rigid protection device 60 may have a concave shape to internally receive the user's genitals.

  FIG. 6C is an illustration of a side cross-sectional view and a front view of the panel 28 of the garment device of FIGS. 1A-1D according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, the configuration of FIG. 6C depicts the use of a two-piece fly panel 28 that can receive a medical cooling device 62, such as an ice bag or cold pack. Medical cooling device 62 provides important advantages for patients who are required to apply low temperatures to their genital area, such as patients with surgical procedures related to genital area such as vasectomy or prostate surgery Can. Also, this form may be used for the insertion of a hard protection device to be used for testicular impact protection. The two-piece fly panel 28 has a first fragment 28 c positioned as the inside of the fly panel 28 and a second fragment 28 d positioned as the outer surface. A pocket is formed between the first and second fragments 28c, 28d, which is sized to receive the medical cooling device 62 through the opening of the pocket located on the outside of the waistband 32. When the medical cooling device 62 is positioned in the pocket, the cord 50 is tensioned in the conduit 40 to retract the fly panel 28 around the medical cooling device 62 and the user's genitals to medically use the user's genitals It may be fixed within the concave side of the cooling device 62. It should be noted that the ability to hold the medical cooling device 62 in a fixed position near the user's genitals by means of the cord 50 and the conduit 40 generally only places the medical cooling device 62 in the desired location and places the medical cooling device in place. Considerable advantages can be obtained over conventional devices that rely on the inherent elasticity of the garment fabric to maintain. The ability to control the location of the medical cooling device 62 by means of the cord 50 and the conduit 40 allows the appropriate anatomical location to receive the desired cooling effect.

  FIG. 6D is an illustration of a side cross-sectional view and a front view of a panel of the garment device 10 of FIGS. 1A-1D according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The garment device 10 can provide significant advantages in holding other medical and non-medical devices at specific locations relative to the user's anatomy. For example, medical pads, gauze and absorbent devices can be kept close to the user's genitals to provide the user with the desired effect over a long period of time without having to reposition the disc. As shown in FIG. 6D, to assist men's urinary incontinence, a position inside the fly panel 28 without the pocket (or in some circumstances the inside of the fly panel 28 with the pocket or the pocket itself) Internally, it is possible to use a liquid absorption device 64 which is fixed in place using a cord 50 and a conduit 40. The liquid absorbing device may include various types of disposable incontinence guards that may contain a liquid absorbing gel. Conventional devices are often complete garment devices that the user must wear as conventional underwear, for example as a diaper, such as Depends® brand devices, and they are also adhesives that are low in harmful substances The absorbent pad is fixed to the garment using When the absorbent device is moved from the desired location and the user suffers from incontinence, the user's urine will come off the pad and as a result wet the user's clothing. By using cord 50 with conduit 40 as described herein, the desired dissection over an extended period of time without the use of an adhesive between absorbent pad 64 and fly panel 28 or a full garment diaper Pads or other devices can be better held in a medical location, thus preventing incontinence accidents.

  Note that the use of the medical cooling device 62 of FIG. 6C may be used instead of the absorbent pad of FIG. 6D. For example, the medical cooling device may be located on the fly panel 28, and the cord 50 with the conduit 40 may be for an extended period of time without using an adhesive between the medical cooling device and the fly panel 28. May be held in place adjacent to the desired anatomical location. This use of a medical cooling device without being located in a pocket can provide the user with the same or similar advantages as those described with respect to FIG. 6C.

  The garment device 10 may be used as a variety of different garments including undergarments, swimmer liners, running shorts, or similar garments where additional support for the male genitalia is desired. It should be noted that although the device 10 is described as a stand-alone garment, the device may be used in combination with known garments. For example, the device 10 may be in swimwear and swimming wear, in athletic clothing such as football pants, running shorts, in hiking pants, supporters for male athletes, tongs, briefs, trunks, boxer briefs, or any other type In any style of undergarment, including clothing, support for the male genitalia may be provided. Further, it should be noted that the garment device 10 may be used by any person, including athletes, workers, medical patients, non-moving wearers, and others.

  In addition, the predetermined amount of the fabric material 20 may include any type of fabric or cloth-like material formed in any size or form. The waistband 32 may generally be formed of an elastic material that is dimensioned to be located at the waist of the user. Device 10 may include various holes and openings, but at least two leg holes 30 are formed in the lower portion of device 10 to receive the user's legs. Materials can include, but are not limited to, flexible or non-flexible fabrics, flexible or non-flexible materials, breathable or non-breathable materials, and the like.

  In certain instances, it may be advantageous to use different types of fabric materials for the different panels used in the apparatus 10. For example, the rear panel 22, the leg panel 24, and the center panel 26 may use a comfortable material such as low elasticity polyester. Materials of this type can include 160 GSM®, 10% elastane (Spandex), and 90% polyester, which can have a 15% elongation at 85 GR. In another example, these panels may be formed from viscose bodies including 190 GSM®, 5% elastane (Spandex), and 95% viscose (Rayon) from bamboos. On the other hand, the fly panel 28 may be configured to be quite elastic so as to allow the fly panel 28 to contract when tension is applied to the cord 50. For example, the frame panel 28 may be formed from a 170 GSM® jacquard mesh with 10% elastane (Spandex), 90% polyester, and 4 direction stretch with a quality that extends 27% at 85 GR. . In another example, the fly panel 28 has 130 GSM (R) with 4-way stretch with a nylon jacquard and a 27% stretch at 85 GR. The ability of the fry panel to have four directions of elongation means that the material can be stretched in at least four degrees of freedom, thereby allowing the material to shrink around the genitals without loosening or non-shrinking regions .
