Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application No. 61/835,241, filed Jun. 14, 2013, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.
- The present invention relates to pants and, more particularly, to individual pant sleeves.
- Currently, when one has difficulty putting on pants there is not much to do other than to ask for help or find ways to assist in the action of putting the pants on. People that are in wheelchairs or some other incapacitation, require assistance that sometimes leads to issues considering the person's weight and level of incapacitation. People, who have a brace or other addition to one leg, may want to be able to cover up their other leg if possible. Additionally, when wearing a skirt or dress, sometimes it would be beneficial to be able to put on pants to keep one's legs warm in places such as in an individual's car while traveling, such as when a person is commuting to work.
- As can be seen, there is a need for an individual pant sleeve that may be put on and secured easily as one sleeve or used as a pair of sleeves.
- In one aspect of the present invention, a individual pant sleeve comprises: a individual pant leg having a top end and a bottom end; and a first retainer mechanism attached to the top end, wherein the first retainer mechanism removably secures the individual pant leg in position.
- In another aspect of the present invention, a method for substantially covering a leg of a person comprises: pulling an individual pant sleeve onto a leg of a person, wherein the individual pant sleeve comprises a individual pant leg having a top end and a bottom end, and a first retainer mechanism attached to the top end of the individual pant leg; and removably securing the individual pant sleeve onto the leg of the person.
- These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings, description and claims.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention shown in use; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention; and -
FIG. 3 is a section detail view of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention along line 3-3 inFIG. 2 . - The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.
- Broadly, an embodiment of the present invention provides an individual pant sleeve that includes an individual pant leg having a top end and a bottom end. A first retainer mechanism may be attached to the top end. The first retainer mechanism may removably secure the individual pant leg in position. A second retainer mechanism may also be attached to the top end of the individual pant leg. The individual pant sleeve may be removably secured on a leg of a person. A second individual pant sleeve may be removably secured to a second leg of the person.
- The present invention may be used to place individual pant legs on an operator. In situations where the operator may have limited mobility, such as in a wheelchair or the like, the individual pant leg may be used for ease of coverage of the operator's legs. The individual pant leg may be used for people who are wearing dresses, skirts, shorts, or the like, for temporary coverage of their legs. The individual pant leg may allow for style while providing convenience. The individual pant leg may help provide dignity to the operator. By not connecting the individual pant legs, a provider may have easy access for handling processes such as when a patient has to relieve themselves, and the like.
- As is illustrated in
FIGS. 1 through 3 , theindividual pant leg 10 may have atop end 11 and abottom end 13. Theindividual pant leg 10 may be made from a material such as cotton, polyester, a blend of materials, or the like. Along thetop end 11 of theindividual pant leg 10 may be a first retainer mechanism, such as, but not limited to, anelastic rim 12. Theelastic rim 12 may hold anelastic band 20. Theelastic band 20 may be operable to cinch thetop end 11 of theindividual pant leg 10. In certain embodiments, a second retainer mechanism may be attached to thetop end 11 of theindividual pant leg 10 to additionally secure theindividual pant leg 10 in place. The second retainer mechanism may be a fastener such as, but not limited to, hoop andloop fastener 16 attached to astrap 14, or the like. In certain embodiments, theindividual pant leg 10 may include at least onepocket 22. Thebottom end 13 of theindividual pant leg 10 may have a finish such as, but not limited to, a hem, a cuff, or the like. - A method of using the
individual pant leg 10 may include the following. Theindividual pant leg 10 may be pulled over a leg of anoperator 18. Theoperator 18 may pull theindividual pant leg 10 to a desired position along the leg. In certain embodiments, the first retainer mechanism and the second retainer mechanism may allow for the positioning of thetop end 11 of theindividual pant leg 10 around the upper thigh of theoperator 18. Theoperator 18 may then place a shoe, a sock, or the like on the foot to complete a look. A secondindividual pant leg 10 may be placed on the other leg of theoperator 18 and the process may be repeated. Theindividual pant leg 10 may be worn with a long shirt, or the like, that allows for others to view theoperator 18 as if theoperator 18 had on a full pair of pants. Eachindividual pant leg 10 may be taken off or put on with relative ease. In certain embodiments, theoperator 18 may just use oneindividual pant leg 10. - The present invention may be used by individuals. Organizations such as hospitals, nursing homes and the like may provide the
individual pant leg 10 to their patients. Theindividual pant leg 10 may be made in various pant sizes, colors, materials, and the like. Theindividual pant leg 10 may be used when access may be needed, such as when a patient needs help relieving themselves. A care taker may have immediate access versus having to deal with taking off a full set of pants, leggings, or the like. Theoperator 18 may be able to go out in public without exposing themselves. Theindividual pant leg 10 may be made from a material used for dress pants, or khakis, or the like. - It should be understood, of course, that the foregoing relates to exemplary embodiments of the invention and that modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
