Underwear description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a conformable pair of underwear
and more particularly pertains to allowing securement to an individual
without requiring them to lift their leg risking loss of balance.
The use of clothing items is known in the prior art. More specifically,
clothing items heretofore devised and utilized for the purpose of
covering parts of the human body are known to consist basically
of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding
the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which
have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives
and requirements.
By way of example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,675,918 to O'Brien discloses
a one piece brief with hook and pile closures. U.S. Pat. No. 4,802,469
to Gollestani discloses a therapeutic body suit. U.S. Pat. No. 4,835,795
to Lonon discloses a body suit and underpants with self-gripping
fasteners. U.S. Pat. No. 4,951,321 to Mortensen et al. discloses
a novelty undergarment. U.S. Pat. No. 4,961,234 to Leibman discloses
an outer garment with detachable crotch piece. U.S. Pat. No. 5,103,501
to Meisels discloses a traveling and disposable underwear.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objective
and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not describe a conformable
pair of underwear for allowing securement to an individual without
requiring them to lift their leg risking loss of balance.
In this respect, the conformable pair of underwear according to
the present invention substantially departs from the conventional
concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides
an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of allowing securement
to an individual without requiring them to lift their leg risking
loss of balance.
Therefore, it can be appreciated that there exists a continuing
need for a new and improved conformable pair of underwear which
can be used for allowing securement to an individual without requiring
them to lift their leg risking loss of balance. In this regard,
the present invention substantially fulfills this need.

side edge and a second side edge. The first side edge has a plurality
of male fasteners disposed thereon in a spaced relationship in a
co-linear relationship with the front member. The second side edge
has a plurality of female fasteners disposed thereon in a spaced
relationship in a co-linear relationship with the front member.
A back member is secured to the rearward end of the central member
for positioning above the back side of the individual. The back
member is essentially perpendicular to the central member. The back
member has a first side edge and a second side edge. The first side
edge has a plurality of female fasteners disposed thereon in a spaced
relationship in a co-linear relationship with the back member. The
second side edge has a plurality of male fasteners disposed thereon
in a spaced relationship in a co-linear relationship with the back
member. The female and male fasteners are selectively engaged with
the male and female fasteners of the front member when the front
member and the back member are wrapped. around a waist of the individual.
