Abstract

Garment that dresses at least the pelvis of the human body, fitted with a joining section (37) between its rear and front portion, passing under the groin between the lower limbs, which can be put on without lifting the feet from the floor and closing the belt line (1) at one single point (2). The two tubular sections (13, 14) dressing the lower limbs are extendable and closable in two joining lines (8, 11) which describe an upturned V, with the vertex (12) on the point (2) where the user closes the belt line (1) approximately near the navel, and with the two side lines that run diagonally over the hips and then vertically down to the lower end of the said tubular sections (13, 14).

Description

DESCRIPTION " Garment that dresses at least the pelvis ".

Technical field: Garment that dresses at least the pelvis of the human body, such as trousers, shorts, pants, underwear, bathing suits, overalls.

Background art: It is already recognised that there are trousers that can be put on without lifting the feet from the floor, closing the belt line at two points, and which have two lateral joining lines running vertically from the hips to ankles, provided with buttons or a zip fastener. In addition to trousers, there are other known garments for women and children, generally known as "body", which dresses the upper body and the pelvis, and which are generally fastened under the groin, by means of snap fasteners, but these do have not an opening belt line. Two-piece swimsuits for women are known as well, in which the lower section has the belt line closed at two points. Overalls are known, with two non- extendable tubular sections dressing the legs, so that the person always needs to lift the feet from the floor to put them on, and most of the time has to remove the shoes.

Disclosure of invention: A garment that dresses at least the pelvis of the human body, fitted with a joining section between the rear and front parts, passing the groin between the lower limbs, and which can be put on without lifting the feet from the floor, closing the belt line at one single point. The two tubular parts that dress the lower limbs are extendable and closable in two joining lines which outline an upturned V, with the vertex at the point of the belt line, closed near the navel, and with the two side lines running diagonally over the hips and then vertically down to the lower end of the said tubular sections.

The advantage of the invention is that it enables the manufacture of trousers that can be put on very easily without lifting the feet from the floor and closing, as the first movement, the belt line at one single point, in a comfortable front position near the navel, and then arranging the rest of the garment without it falling down and losing its ideal position on the waist. This enables the production of overalls that can be put on without lifting the feet from the floor and without removing footwear, also without sitting down, which can be very useful for children living in cold climates; prior to this invention, children and their parents still have to perform many inconvenient movements and spend a great deal of time putting on and taking off this clothing, which is used every day most of the year. The invention also enables the manufacture of trousers, underwear and bathing suits which could be highly suited to the elderly or disabled, as these people would no longer need to make difficult and hazardous movements to put the garment on. Also thermal and waterproof trousers could be produced based on the same model, which can be put on very easily without removing shoes, a significant benefit in adverse weather conditions.

Best mode for carrying out the invention: To cut and sew cloth shaped as normal trousers or overalls, but placing the zip fastener or buttons in the position and patterns described in the following description, claims and figures.

Industrial applicability: The invention can be used in the clothing industry, according to conventional methods of manufacturing garments, but using patterns and assembly methods shown and described herein.

Claims
