Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/737,159 filed on Sep. 27, 2018. The above identified patent application is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety to provide continuity of disclosure.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to male undergarments. More specifically, the present invention relates to double-lined boxer-briefs having interior and exterior pockets including multiple fabric layers.
In warm temperatures, male genitals may excessively droop and chafe or bruise when contacting an undergarment. Further, many men have sensitive skin and may suffer from contact dermatitis, which can lead to rashes, bumps, blisters and other symptoms. Also, the pressing of the genitals against the body can lead to the perception that an individual's testicular temperature is increasing, which can be greatly discomforting. Accordingly, a device that is configured to provide comfort to a wearer of a male undergarment is desired.
Devices have been disclosed in the known art that relate to undergarments including interior and exterior pockets. These include devices that have been patented and disclosed in patent application publications. These devices include a unisex activewear garment with modified fly-flap and storage pockets is a pair of shorts or pants for the lower body having a crotch opening covered by a completely removable or partially operable pocketed fly-flap. Another device includes a support pocket with a comfortable pouch having an elastic back secured to the inside front of a man's brief. These devices, however, fail to disclose a male undergarment including the combination of double-lined interior and exterior pockets, an upper shroud, and a fly access opening defining between the exterior pocket and the shroud.
In light of the devices in the prior art, it is submitted that the present invention substantially diverges in design elements from the known art and consequently it is clear that there is a need in the art for an improvement to existing male undergarments. In this regard, the instant invention substantially fulfills these needs.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of male undergarments now present in the known art, the present invention provides a undergarment including the combination of double-lined interior and exterior pockets, an upper shroud, and a fly access opening defined between the interior and exterior pockets wherein the same can be utilized for providing convenience for the user when wearing undergarments providing extra ventilation, cooling, and moisture absorption.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved double-lined interior and exterior pocket male undergarment that has all of the advantages of the known art and none of the disadvantages. The present system comprises a fabric enclosure having a first opening at the top end adapted to receive the torso of a user and a pair of smaller openings in the bottom of the fabric enclosure adapted to receive the legs of a user therethrough. A pouch section comprised of a shroud extending down from the first opening is overlapped on either side by an interior and exterior flap extending upward from the bottom of the fabric enclosure.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a double-lined interior and exterior pocket male undergarment wherein the fabric enclosure is comprised of a soft, machine washable material such as cotton wherein the perimeter of the first opening and the second pair of openings includes an elastic material adapted to conform to the size and shape of a user's body.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a double-lined interior and exterior pocket male undergarment wherein the interior and exterior pockets include a plurality of extra fabric layers for added moisture absorption as well as extra ventilation and cooling provided to the genital region.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a double-lined interior and exterior pocket male undergarment wherein the shroud, interior pocket, and exterior pocket utilize the same seams and include a flap opening for a user's genitals.
Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Reference is made herein to the attached drawings. Like reference numerals are used throughout the drawings to depict like or similar elements of the double-lined interior and exterior pocket male undergarment. For the purposes of presenting a brief and clear description of the present invention, the preferred embodiment will be discussed as used for providing additional ventilation and cooling as well as moisture absorption to the crotch region of a user. The figures are intended for representative purposes only and should not be considered to be limiting in any respect.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown a front view of an embodiment of the double-lined interior and exterior pocket male undergarment and a rear view of an embodiment of the double-lined interior and exterior pocket male undergarment, respectively. The double-lined interior and exterior pocket male undergarment 11 comprises a fabric enclosure 12 having a first opening 13 at a top end thereof and a pair of openings 14 on a bottom end thereof. In practice, a user would put on the double-lined interior and exterior pocket male undergarment by putting each leg through the first opening 13 and out one of the second pair of openings 14 and pulling the fabric enclosure 12 up around the user's waist, thereby covering a user's crotch region and back side. In one embodiment of the double-lined interior and exterior pocket male undergarment 11, the first opening 13 and second pair of openings 14 include an elastic liner along the perimeter thereof adapted to stretch and comfortably conform to the size and shape of a user while maintaining a secure hold around the user's torso and thighs.
The fabric enclosure 12 extends outward around each perimeter of the second pair of openings 14 to form a sleeve 15 adapted to receive the legs of a user therethrough and extend to cover a portion of the thigh in order to prevent bunching of the fabric enclosure 12 around the crotch and rear end of a user for a better and more comfortable fit while wearing the double-lined interior and exterior pocket male undergarment 11. In the illustrated embodiment, the double-lined interior and exterior pocket male undergarment 11 includes an exterior pocket 19 having an enclosed lower end, enclosed sides, and an upper opening aligned with the first opening 13 at the top end of the undergarment. In some embodiments, the elastic material around the perimeter of the first opening 13 may include any suitable indicia along the perimeter thereof, including company logos and slogans.
Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 4, there s ho n a front inverse view of an embodiment of the double-lined interior and exterior male undergarment and a rear inverse view of an embodiment of the double-lined interior and exterior pocket male undergarment, respectively. A pouch section 16 is included on a side of the fabric enclosure 12 that corresponds to where a user's genitals would line up when wearing the double-lined interior and exterior pocket male undergarment 11. The pouch section 16 comprises a shroud 17 extending downward from the perimeter of the first opening 13 which is overlapped by an interior pocket 18 and an exterior pocket 19 extending upwards from a bottom of the fabric enclosure 12 between the perimeter of the second pair of openings 14. In one embodiment of the double-lined interior and exterior pocket male undergarment 11, the interior and exterior pockets 18 and comprise a plurality of fabric layers which increase the moisture absorption of the crotch region as well as ventilation while decreasing the heat retention. This allows for the genitalia of the user to stay cool while also absorbing any additional moisture created through perspiration and seepage from the genitals.
Referring now to FIG. 5, there is shown a side view of an embodiment of the double-lined interior and exterior pocket male undergarment. In the illustrated embodiment, the double-lined interior and exterior pocket male undergarment 11 includes an exterior pocket 19 disposed between the pair of bottom openings 14 on an external surface of the fabric enclosure 12. The exterior pocket 19 can be utilized to store various items therein, which can be inserted through the upper opening of the exterior pocket 19. In the shown embodiment, the upper opening of the exterior pocket 19 is aligned with the top opening 13 of the fabric enclosure 12 to prevent any items stored therein from accidentally falling out. The exterior pocket 19 is further accessible through the shroud 17 and interior pocket 18, allowing for easy access to the contents thereof, or alternatively to allow a user to extend his phallus outwardly from the interior and exterior pocket male undergarment 11 during urination.
When using the double-lined interior and exterior pocket male undergarment 11, a user may place his phallus within the interior pocket 18 for the added ventilation and cooling that comes from separating phallus from the scrotum, and moisture absorption. Inserting one's phallus within the interior pocket 18 will also ease chafing and other irritation from rashes created by constant rubbing of skin against skin or from seepage. The overlapping nature of the shroud 17 with the interior pocket 18 and exterior pocket 19 creates a horizontal flap opening that can be used as a fly to allow a user to expose his genitals to relieve himself without having to take the double-lined interior and exterior pocket male undergarment off in the bathroom, saving time and maintaining body temperature. The exterior pocket disposed on the outside of the fabric enclosure 12 may be used to store items which a user may want to keep safe. In this way, a user may store personal items such as keys or money which they wish to keep protected and out of easy reach of thieves and pickpockets.
It is therefore submitted that the instant invention has been shown and described in what is considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments. It is recognized, however, that departures may be made within the scope of the invention and that obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art. With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
