In adding reference numerals to components of the following drawings, it is determined that the same components have the same reference numerals as much as possible even if displayed on different drawings, and it is determined that they may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention. Detailed descriptions of well-known functions and configurations will be omitted.

In Figures 1 to 4, the reference numeral 100 designates a scrotum support according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In the present invention, the scrotum support 100 is generally not limited to underwear worn by men, and if the overall shape is similar, includes all kinds of clothing worn by the man over the groin portion of the belly. Examples thereof include swimwear to be worn when swimming, athletic clothes for physical or athletic events, and running pants to be worn in athletics.

As shown in FIG. 1, the scrotum support 100 includes a main body 102 and a scrotum support part 122 disposed on the main body 102. The body 102 is in the shape of a general male underwear, it may be made of a triangle or box shape. The material of the main body 102 may be a known fabric used for clothing such as underwear.

The main body 102 has a waist opening 106 and a pair of

leg openings

108 and 110, and a waist band 104 for fixing to the waist may be added to the waist opening 106. In addition, the front surface of the main body 102 is formed with a penis part 114 where the penis 2 is located and a scrotum part 112 where the scrotum 1 are located.

The penis part 114 and the scrotum part 112 may be integrally formed. In this case, the penis attachment detachment member 116 may be omitted.

The penis part 114, or the penis part and the scrotum part 112 should have a greater elasticity in the longitudinal direction (the key direction of the human body) than the transverse direction (the left and right width direction of the human body). That is, in order to lift the scrotum 1, it is preferable that there is little elongation in the longitudinal direction, and in order to cope with it when the scrotum 1 swells due to a disease or the like, it is preferable that the elongation in the lateral direction is large. Therefore, it is preferable that the fiber disposed in the scrotum is larger in the transverse direction than in the longitudinal direction.

On the outer surface of the scrotum section 112, in order to increase the cooling effect, it is possible to install a cooling element 136 excellent in heat dissipation capacity. As the cooling element 136, a solid phase change material (PCM), which is a heat absorbing cold feeling material that absorbs ambient heat, may be used.

The scrotum support part 122 includes an adjusting strap seat 126 which is extended to surround the scrotum section 112 and an adjusting strap 124 inserted into the adjusting strap seat 126.

The control strap 126 is a passage of the control strap 124 formed of a fabric, and wraps around the scrotum 112 and the penis 114. That is, the control strap 126 is formed in a substantially U-shape.

Both ends of the control strap 124 is inserted into the control strap seat 126 is exposed through the waist opening 106. In addition, the adjusting strap 124 may be exposed through the waist band 104 disposed on the waist opening 106.

Pulling the control strap 124 is tightened the control strap seat 126, the length of the control strap seat 126 is reduced as a whole, eventually reducing the distance between the waist opening 106 and the scrotum section 112 Will be reduced. As a result, there is an effect that the scrotum 1 is lifted up. Repeated use of the adjusting strap 124, the control strap ring 138 is installed on the body 102 or the waistband 104 in order to prevent the worn portion is damaged or worn by the adjusting strap 124 is exposed. Can be.

The adjusting strap 138 may be a ring made of metal or plastic, or may be formed by drilling a hole in the main body 102 or the waistband 104 and densely stitching the fibres around it.

In addition, a separation band 128 is disposed between the scrotum part 112 and the penis part 114, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, rather than the scrotum part 112 and the penis part 114. Since the distance between the control straps 126 becomes narrow, the space where the scrotum 1 and the penis 2 are located is separated from each other. As a result, the scrotum 1 and the penis 2 are not in contact with each other because they are not in contact with each other, thereby improving the wearer's fit and solving problems caused by contact or friction between the scrotum 1 and the penis 2. have.

In addition, for the convenience of the wearer, the penis part 114 preferably has a structure that can be opened and closed with respect to the main body 102, as shown in FIG. To this end, the penis part 114, as shown in Figure 1, the penis fixing part 118 is formed on one side, the other part can be opened with the penis fixing part 118 as a fixed axis. At this time, in order to attach and detach the penis part 114, the penis part 114 is provided with a penis attachment detachment member 116, the body 102 is provided with a body detachable member 120. The penis attachment and detachment member 116 and the body attachment and detachment member 120 may be composed of Velcro tape, it is also possible to use other known removable materials such as zippers, buttons. Through such a structure, opening the penis part 114 may form a penis exposure window 134, thereby exposing the penis 2.

Shape holding means for maintaining the shape is disposed inside the control strap seat 126 to prevent the pressure to reduce the space occupied by the scrotum 1 when the scrotum section 112 is lifted by the control strap 124 It is preferable. As the forming and holding member, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, the control string 124 may be a shape maintaining tube 140 through which the adjusting strap 124 penetrates.

In addition, in Figure 8, as a modification, the shape holding tube 162 through which the adjusting strap 160 is shown. In the shape maintaining tube 162, a tube hole 164 is formed for drainage and drying of water during washing. The shape and number of the tube holes 164 are not limited, and various changes are possible.

As another variant, as shown in FIG. 9, the shape maintaining beam 144 may be used. In the case of the shape maintaining beam 144, the adjusting strap 142 is connected to both ends, and at this time, the adjusting strap fixing part 148 connecting the adjusting strap 142 and the shape maintaining beam 144 is an adhesive, It can be made using a known technique such as a fixing strap.

The shape-keeping means forms an adjusting strap fixing part 166 for fixing the adjusting strap 124 by a stitching so as to be spaced apart from each other in the adjusting strap seat 126 surrounding the scrotum 1 without using other members. do.

That is, by the pair of adjusting strap fixing portion 166, the length of the adjusting strap 124 located between the pair of adjusting strap fixing portion 166 is kept constant. As a result, even if both ends of the adjusting strap 124 are pulled, the adjusting strap 124 located between the pair of adjusting strap fixing portions 166 is wrapped around the scrotum 1 while maintaining a constant length. Shape maintenance means made of such adjustment straps 166 has the advantage of not giving a foreigner to the wearer.

In addition, the scrotum section 112 has a scrotum contact section 130 in contact with the scrotum 1 inward. That is, in general, men's underwear is an additional auxiliary cloth to the parts of the scrotum (1) and penis (2), this auxiliary cloth corresponds to the scrotum contact portion (130). At this time, as shown in Figure 3 and 4, the scrotum contact portion 130 is formed with a pad inserting portion 132 to insert the pad 150, to protect the scrotum 1 and maintain the shape It is possible to do The pad insertion unit 132 forms a slit in the scrotum contact unit 130 to allow the pad 150 to be inserted into the pad 150 through the process illustrated in FIG. 6.

The pad 150 may be manufactured using a polymer compound such as polypropylene, sponge, urethane, or the like, and preferably has a concave shape in order to stably receive the scrotum 1.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 5, the pad 150 is provided with a pair of

recesses

154 and 156 separated from each other, such that the testicles of the scrotum 1 are placed at respective positions. In addition, a spaced portion 158 is disposed between the pair of

recesses

154 and 156, and a certain distance is placed between the testicles, thereby preventing problems such as pain that may occur due to contact between the testicles.

As described above, the scrotum 1 is spaced apart from the thigh through the scrotum support 100 according to the present invention, and at the same time, the wearer 1 wears the scrotum 1 to prevent a sag caused by the weight of the scrotum 1 to become comfortable. It can be lifted and accommodated as desired. In addition, the scrotum (1) and the penis (2) can be separated from each other to improve the fit.
