Definitions

  • This invention relates pant garments with elliptical shaped bottom full length pant legs, more specifically to an improved pant leg bottom construction particularly adapted for casual clothing, work trousers, medical scrubs, and emergency response person uniforms where wear between the ground and heel is unwanted, where maintaining sanitary conditions is important and where safety in stepping or climbing is desirable.
  • a related to trousers-protectors and more particularly to that class of protectors which is detachahly secured to the lower edge of the leg and is adapted to be secured to the top of the shoe to prevent the leg from becoming soiled from rain and mud. Since then, many others have continued to explore alternatives to this common problem.
  • the present embodiment presents a solution to the manufacture of the pant versus an after-thought of clipping, pinning, taping or otherwise temporarily affixing the back of the pant leg bottom to the pant leg, shoe or heel in order to adjust the height of the pant leg hem in relationship to the heel of the shoe and to the ground.
  • the pant leg fabric can be shaped to provide an aesthetically pleasing fall of the fabric along the leg, to the shoe and above the ground.
  • the present embodiment demonstrates that the preferred shape is cut along an elliptical plane rather than a horizontal plane, creating an elliptical opening which is shorter in the back of the pant and longer in the front of the pant as compared to a horizontal cut. The elliptical cut also creates a larger opening than the horizontal cut.
  • the larger opening makes it easier to put on and take off the pants without having to increase the diameter of the pant leg. For example, a two inch elliptical drop would increase a boot cut opening from approximately 19.5 inches to 20.5 inches. This extra inch makes it much easier to slip over a foot and ankle.
  • the present embodiment also prevents heel drag which serves to provide for
  • This remedy may be particularly useful in clean environments, such as hospitals, if medical scrubs are manufactured or altered according to the solution provided for by the present embodiment.
  • the present embodiment provides for improved safety for persons wearing pants in situations where full range motion of the extended leg to bended knee is required.
  • the present embodiment demonstrates that with the elliptical cut applied to the bottom of the pant leg, the back of the pant leg is much less likely to catch on the heel of the shoe which may prevent or help avoid tripping or even worse, a fall. Since the elliptical shape removes excess fabric from the back panel of the pant leg that otherwise ordinarily extended below the heel, the pant leg moves freely up and down the leg as the leg is flexed while bending, stepping, climbing or squatting. This makes climbing ladders or stairs much safer for persons wearing uniforms such as firefighters, police, military personnel, and construction workers.
  • the present embodiment improves durability by avoiding fraying of the fabric of the bottom of the pant leg resulting from the back of the pant leg constantly dragging the ground.
  • wear of the fabric pant leg is avoided. Accordingly, consumers are likely more willing to apply additional decorative stitching or embellishments to the bottom of jeans or other types of pants which will remain aesthetically pleasing for the wearers of pants over longer periods of use. Additionally, elaborate decorative bottoms are more economically viable because they will not fray and wear out as quickly, a likely benefit for the consumer.
  • the elliptical cut of the bottom edge lies cleanly across the foot and around the ankle, better matching our physiology.
  • Gentlemen can wear their pants at a length of the full break in the front without dragging the pant leg in the back.
  • they can wear them at a partial break with a smaller drop, again with no drag in the back and with less bunching on the sides around the ankles.
  • a full break length in the front a woman can cross his legs without exposing his shins to banule and shame.
  • the present embodiment applied when one crosses his legs, the longer front will be more even with the shorter back rather than riding higher up the leg.
  • pant leg cut style such as straight leg, boot cut, or flared.
  • the shape of the curvature is determines by the amount of "drop"; which is the difference between the length at the front of the pant compared to the length at the back of the pant leg. Approximately two-thirds (2/3 rds ) of the drop should occur on the front panel, with the remaining one-third (1/3 rd ) of the drop on the back panel. This creates a curvature that best matches the foot and lay of the pants.
  • the amount of drop varies by individual preferences. For instance, with a boot cut opening, for a full break, the length of the back of the pants should be reduced by approximately two (2) inches. For a partial break length, the back should be reduced by approximately one inch.
  • the back can be reduced by one-half (1 ⁇ 2) inch.
  • the back of the pant can be reduced by three (3) inches or more. This converts a boot cut width into a bell bottom-like flair without all the excess fabric in the back and on the sides.
  • the cut allows the pant to flair forward, depending on how much elliptical cut is done. With a one (1 ) inch difference in length between front and back there is only slight flaring. With a two (2) inch difference, there is almost another one (1 ) inch of flair.
  • the pant lies more forward on the shoe or foot because the bulk is eliminated from the back and sides and the pant opening is enlarged due to the elliptical opening.
  • the slightly larger opening also allows for easier dress and undress, even though the pant leg is the same circumference. This could be significant for seniors or anyone who is not as limber as they once were.
  • the intent is to allow a "break" in the front of the pant, without having bulk or break on the side and back or dragging the ground in the back.
  • the result is a pant that lays cleanly on the sides and back, does not drag in the back, and can either rest just on the shoe, have a partial break, or have a full break.
  • Different elliptical cuts accomplish each break.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a modification which can be applied during production or post production, without disabling the intended purpose of wearing pants.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une structure de jambe de pantalon dans laquelle deux panneaux de tissu, des panneaux avant et arrière, sont assemblés le long d'une couture verticale pour former une jambe de pantalon et dans laquelle les bas de jambe de pantalon sont ajustés spécifiquement à une forme elliptique particulière configurée dans le périmètre inférieur de la jambe de pantalon et une couture associée cousue au bas de la jambe de pantalon, la forme résultante étant conçue pour toucher la partie supérieure de la chaussure à l'avant et s'étendre plus bas à l'arrière pour dissimuler le talon, avec l'apparence d'une courbe douce au côté esthétique de la partie arrière inférieure à la partie avant supérieure lorsque le pantalon est porté, réduisant ainsi l'usure du pantalon laissé entre le sol et le talon du pied ou de la chaussure.
