Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to pants, and more particularly to pants capable of preventing legs from unintentionally splaying out, in which magnets are alternately disposed such that the pants prevent the magnets from sticking to each other during daily life activities, such as walking, but enable the magnets to stick to each other when a user sits in a public place, thereby preventing the phenomenon of causing an appearance against etiquette.
  • Korean comedian “Kim Byung-Man” introduced “conscious pants” for persons who splayed their legs out in the Korean Broadcasting System (KBS) comedy program “Gag Concert” in August of 2011.
  • Korean Broadcasting System Korean Broadcasting System
  • the pants proposed in the comedy program are configured such that zippers are installed on two sides of the pants and thus legs are prevented from splaying out due to the closed zippers even when legs give out.
  • Korean Patent Application Publication No. 10-2015-0102650 discloses a “Bench for Preventing Legs from Splaying Out” in which the reason for the splaying of legs is recognized as the structural problem of the pelvis and legs are prevented from splaying out by installing leg rests on a bench.
  • patent document 1 requires enormous installation expenses when the structure is applied to all existing benches. Accordingly, it is difficult to apply the structure as a practical countermeasure.
  • Korean Patent No. 10-0706028 discloses a “Pants Device using Magnetic Ropes for the Correction of Angular Deformity.”
  • patent document 2 is not intended to prevent legs from splaying out on a bench in a public place, but is used for the correction of angular deformity.
  • a pair of long magnets 1 and 2 are installed on opposite portions of pants in a lengthwise direction and thus stick parts of the pants of a human, having angular deformity, to each other, thereby aiding in the correction of the angular deformity.
  • Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0365513 discloses an “Angular Deformity Assistance Pants.” As shown in FIG. 2 , complements 4 are installed on both legs, and a pair of Velcro tapes 6 are installed and attached to each other, thereby aiding in the correction of angular deformity.
  • pants need to provide convenience to daily life activities.
  • the user may collapse due to the Velcro tapes or long magnets, and thus an accident may occur.
  • the present invention has been conceived to overcome the above-described problems of the conventional art, and an object of the present invention is to provide pants capable of preventing legs from unintentionally splaying out, in which two magnets are installed on both leg accommodation parts configured to accommodate respective legs of a user and the two magnets are alternately disposed in the state in which both the accommodation parts are arranged in parallel to each other, and thus the two magnets are prevented from sticking to each other due the magnetism thereof when the two accommodation parts graze each other during walking, thereby preventing the pants from causing inconvenience in daily life activities, such as walking, etc.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide pants capable of preventing legs from unintentionally splaying out, which enable two magnets to be fastened to each other with a snapping sound by the magnetism thereof when a user slightly raises one leg or one leg accommodation part in the state of sitting on a seat, such as a bench, thereby conveniently preventing legs from splaying out.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide pants capable of preventing legs from unintentionally splaying out, in which the fastening force between two magnets is smaller than the force which intentionally splays out the legs of a user, and thus two accommodation parts magnetically fastened to each other are naturally separated from each other the moment the user stands up from his or her seat, thereby minimizing inconvenience when the user intentionally separates the two magnets.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide pants capable of preventing legs from unintentionally splaying out, which do not cause any inconvenience in the normal activities of a user, but conveniently enable two accommodation parts to stick to each other and to prevent legs from unintentionally splaying out when the user sits on a bench in a public place, thereby enabling the user to observe the rules of etiquette in public places.
  • pants capable of preventing legs from unintentionally splaying out
  • the pants including: one leg accommodation part configured to accommodate one leg of a user; and the other leg accommodation part configured to accommodate the other leg of the user; wherein one magnetic material having magnetism is installed on one side surface of the one leg accommodation part, and the other magnetic material configured to be fastened to the one magnetic material by the magnetism of the one magnetic material is installed on one side surface of the other leg accommodation part; and wherein the one magnetic material and the other magnetic material are installed alternately above and below a virtual axis perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the pants in the state in which the one leg accommodation part and the other leg accommodation part have been spread out in parallel with each other.

  • FIG. 3 is a plan view showing pants capable of preventing legs from unintentionally splaying out according to the present invention
  • FIG. 4 is a front view showing a state in which a user wears the pants capable of preventing legs from unintentionally splaying out according to the present invention
  • FIG. 5 shows the operation of the pants capable of preventing legs from unintentionally splaying out according to the present invention after a user has worn the pants capable of preventing legs from unintentionally splaying out;
  • FIG. 6 shows the operation of an example in which magnetic materials are installed on inner surfaces of the pants according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 7 shows the operation of an example in which magnetic materials are installed on outer surfaces of the pants according to the present invention.
  • the pants according to the present invention includes one leg accommodation part 11 configured to accommodate one leg of a user and the other leg accommodation part 12 configured to accommodate the other leg of the user, as shown in FIG. 3 , like common pants.
  • the upper portions of the one leg accommodation part 11 and the other leg accommodation part 12 are coupled to each other through sewing, like common pants, and the lower abdomen and buttocks of the user are accommodated inside the upper parts.
  • one magnetic material 21 having magnetism is installed on one side surface of the one leg accommodation part 11
  • the other magnetic material 22 configured to be fastened to the one magnetic material 21 by the magnetism of the one magnetic material 21 is installed on one side surface of the other leg accommodation part 12 , as shown in FIG. 3 .
  • the one magnetic material 21 and the other magnetic material 22 are installed alternately above and below a virtual axis “a” perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the pants in the state in which the one leg accommodation part 11 and the other leg accommodation part 12 have been spread out in parallel with each other.
  • the one magnetic material 21 and the other magnetic material 22 are preferably installed on the portions of the pants near the knees of the user.
  • the reason for this is to prevent legs from splaying out on the knee portions because on these portions, the angle at which the legs splay out is largest and the force at which the legs splay out is strongest.
  • the most preferred embodiment of the “one side surface” in the foregoing description may be viewed as “a surface near a knee of a user.”
  • the surfaces on which the one magnetic material 21 and the other magnetic material 22 are installed may be inner surfaces of the one leg accommodation part 11 and the other leg accommodation part 12 , as shown in FIG. 6 , or may be outer surfaces of the one leg accommodation part 11 and the other leg accommodation part 12 , as shown in FIG. 7 .
  • the inner surfaces are preferable to the outer surfaces.
