Abstract
An impact adsorbing undergarment includes one or more breathable portions and one or more energy absorbing portions that are configured to be positioned proximate an area of the user to be protected.
Description
- This application is a Continuation-in-Part of and claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/042,943, filed 8 Mar. 2011, the entire contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.
- This disclosure relates to impact absorbing clothing and, more particularly, to impact absorbing clothing that is configured to be worn beneath an outer layer of clothing.
- Whenever a person is convalescing from some medical procedure, there are often portions of their body that are tender to the touch. For example, if a person had abdominal surgery, in the event that they bumped their stomach into the edge of a kitchen counter, this would cause pain. Further, in the event that a woman is recovering from breast cancer surgery, inadvertent contact may result in considerable pain.
- Accordingly, protective clothing may be worn that protects these sensitive areas of the body from inadvertent contact. Unfortunately, such systems may be overly bulky and configured to be worn on the outside of a person's clothing. Often, when the patient is convalescing from such a medical procedure, they often want to get their life back to normal as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, the use of such bulky and external protective clothing often draws unwanted and/or unneeded attention to the person who is convalescing. Further, such system typically do not include drain pouches that allow for inconspicuous concealment of drain assemblies that may be required during post-surgical convalescence.
- In a first implementation, an impact adsorbing undergarment includes one or more breathable portions and one or more energy absorbing portions that are configured to be positioned proximate an area of the user to be protected.
- One or more of the following features may be included. The breathable portions may include one or more open portions. The breathable portions may include one or more mesh portions. The breathable portions may include one or more fabric portions. The energy absorbing portions may include one or more padded portions. The one or more padded portions may include a batting-type material. The one or more padded portions may include a foam-type material. The one or more padded portions may include one or more multi-layer padded portions.
- One or more drain pouches may be configured to receive a drain assembly. A flap assembly may be configured to be positioned within another piece of clothing. A fastening system may be configured to fasten the undergarment about the wearer. The energy absorbing portion may be configured to be positioned in one or more locations chosen from the group consisting of: proximate the upper chest of the wearer; proximate the abdomen of the wearer; proximate the upper back of the wearer; and proximate the lower back of the wearer.
- In another implementation, an impact adsorbing undergarment includes one or more breathable portions and one or more energy absorbing portions that are configured to be positioned proximate an area of the user to be protected. One or more drain pouches are configured to receive a drain assembly, wherein the energy absorbing portions include one or more padded portions.

- Referring to
FIGS. 1-2 , there is shown one implementation of animpact adsorbing undergarment 10. As discussed above,impact absorbing undergarment 10 may be configured to be worn under the clothing of a user (e.g. user 12) who is recovering from some form of medical procedure. For example,user 12 may be a male or a female andimpact absorbing undergarment 10 may be configured to be worn under a traditional, shirt, blouse, or dress whenuser 12 is e.g., recovering from breast cancer surgery, abdominal surgery, or back surgery. Accordingly, through the use ofimpact absorbing undergarment 10,user 12 may be able to receive the protection that they need (e.g. with respect to the area upon which the medical procedure was performed) while allowing the patient to avoid the unnecessary and undesirable attention brought about by using an impact absorption system that is worn outside of their clothing. -
Impact absorbing undergarment 10 may include one or more breathable portions (e.g., breathable portion 14) and one or more energy absorbing portions (energy absorbing portion 16). The remainder ofimpact absorbing undergarment 10 may be constructed of a material that provides the desired level of strength and wearability (e.g., a cotton/polyester blend). - As discussed above, the energy absorbing portions (energy absorbing portion 16) may be configured to be positioned proximate an area of
user 12 to be protected while convalescing. For example,energy absorbing portion 16 may be configured to be positioned e.g., proximate the upper chest area of user 12 (e.g., in the event thatuser 12 had heart surgery or breast cancer surgery); proximate the abdominal area of the user 12 (e.g. in the event thatuser 12 had abdominal surgery or an appendectomy); proximate the upper back of user 12 (e.g., in the event thatuser 12 had surgery on their shoulder blade or upper back); and proximate the lower back of user 12 (e.g. in the event thatuser 12 had surgery on their lower back). - Naturally, the general configuration of
impact absorbing undergarment 10 may need to vary depending upon the particular area that was subject to the surgical procedure. - For example, in the event that the surgical procedure was performed on the upper chest area of user 12 (e.g., in the event that
user 12 had heart surgery or breast cancer surgery),impact absorbing undergarment 10 may be configured as shown inFIGS. 1 & 2 (e.g.,breathable portion 14 is positioned on the lower front ofimpact absorbing undergarment 10 andenergy absorbing portion 16 is positioned on the upper front of impact absorbing undergarment 10). - In the event that the surgical procedure was performed on the abdominal area of user 12 (e.g. if
user 12 had abdominal surgery or an appendectomy), impact absorbingundergarment 10 may need to be configured differently (seeimpact absorbing undergarment 10′ ofFIGS. 3-4 ), whereinbreathable portion 14 is positioned on the upper front ofimpact absorbing undergarment 10′ andenergy absorbing portion 16 is positioned on the lower front ofimpact absorbing undergarment 10′). - If the surgical procedure was performed on the upper back area of user 12 (e.g., in the event that
user 12 had surgery on their shoulder blade or upper back),impact absorbing undergarment 10 may be configured as shown inFIGS. 1 & 2 (e.g.,breathable portion 14 positioned on the lower portion ofimpact absorbing undergarment 10 andenergy absorbing portion 16 positioned on the upper portion of impact absorbing undergarment 10). However,impact absorbing undergarment 10 may be configured so that it is worn backwards on user 12 (e.g., clasping in the front), thus positioningbreathable portion 14 proximate the lower back ofuser 12 and positioningenergy absorbing portion 16 proximate the upper back ofuser 12. - In the event that the surgical procedure was performed on the lower back area of user 12 (e.g. if
user 12 had surgery on their lower back), impact absorbingundergarment 10 may need to be configured differently (seeimpact absorbing undergarment 10′ ofFIGS. 3-4 ), whereinbreathable portion 14 is positioned on the upper portion ofimpact absorbing undergarment 10′ andenergy absorbing portion 16 is positioned on the lower portion ofimpact absorbing undergarment 10′). However,impact absorbing undergarment 10′ may be configured so that it is worn backwards on user 12 (e.g., clasping in the front), thus positioningbreathable portion 14 proximate the upper back ofuser 12 and positioningenergy absorbing portion 16 proximate the lower back ofuser 12. - Concerning the breathable portions (e.g., breathable portion 14) of
impact absorbing undergarment impact absorbing undergarment - Concerning the energy absorbing portions (e.g., energy absorbing portion 16) of
impact absorbing undergarment -
Impact absorbing undergarment strap assemblies impact absorbing undergarment user 12, thus allowingimpact absorbing undergarment strap assemblies impact absorbing undergarment user 12. -
Impact absorbing undergarment flap assembly 24 that may be configured to be positioned within another piece of clothing worn byuser 12. For example,flap assembly 24 may be configured so thatuser 12 may tuckflap assembly 24 into the front or back on their pants, thus allowing for a more contoured look. - While
impact absorbing undergarment strap assemblies impact absorbing undergarment impact absorbing undergarment 10″ as shown inFIG. 5 ) that is constructed of a breathable fabric (e.g. such as a cotton material).Impact absorbing undergarment 10″ may include one or more appropriately-positioned energy absorbing portions (e.g., energy absorbing portion 16) that may provide the needed energy absorption. Further, asimpact absorbing undergarment 10″ is constructed of a breathable fabric, the entire undergarment (with the exception of energy absorbing portion 16) may function as a breathable portion. Accordingly, in the event thatuser 12 had abdominal surgery,impact absorbing undergarment 10″ may be configured as an undershirt that includes energy absorbing portions (e.g., energy absorbing portion 16) positioned proximate the region of the abdomen that was subject to the surgical procedure. Therefore, the unprotected portions ofimpact absorbing undergarment 10″ (e.g. the lower back portion, the upper back portion, and the upper chest portion) may make up the breathable portions ofimpact absorbing undergarment 10″. Depending upon the desired level of thermal insulation, the breathable portions ofimpact absorbing undergarment 10″ may be constructed of a mesh material. Further,impact absorbing undergarment 10″ may be constructed of a stretchable material (such as spandex) that may provide the appropriate level of snugness to properly position e.g.,energy absorbing portion 16. - While
impact absorbing undergarment impact absorbing undergarment - Referring also to
FIG. 6 ,impact absorbing undergarment tube 30. As is known in the art,drain tube 30 may be temporarily inserted into an incision so that various bodily fluids may be drained off intodrain assembly 28 during the recovery process. - A number of implementations have been described. Nevertheless, it will be understood that various modifications may be made. Accordingly, other implementations are within the scope of the following claims.
