Underwear description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The field of invention relates to undergarment structure, and more
particularly pertains to a new and improved condom pocket underwear
wherein the same is arranged for the securement of a condom member
within a pocket of the underwear garment.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The advent of sexually transmissive diseases in contemporary society
requires the utilization of various precautions to prevent spread
of disease. The instant invention provides for advantages over the
prior art by utilizing a pocket member integrally formed relative
to an undergarment structure in combination with a condom positioned
therewithin for ease of access thereto. Prior art undergarment construction
is exemplified to accommodate various activity such as U.S. Pat.
No. 4,870,958 to Webster wherein an underwear member utilizes a
partitioning liner to maintain an undergarment in position during
various physical activities.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,702,239 to Ichikawa sets forth an undergarment
member for men, including a hip covering portion covering a user's
hips to further include a crotch covering portion of predetermined
configuration.
As such, it may be appreciated that there continues to be a need
for a new and improved condom pocket underwear as set forth by the
instant invention which addresses both the problems of ease of use
as well as effectiveness in construction and in this respect, the
present invention substantially fulfills this need.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types
of underwear construction now present in the prior art, the present
invention provides a condom pocket underwear wherein the same is
arranged to position a condom member within a pocket structure of
an associated underwear garment. As such, the general purpose of
the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater
detail, is to provide a new and improved condom pocket underwear
which has all the advantages of the prior art underwear construction
and none of the disadvantages.
To attain this, the present invention provides an underwear garment
including a torso surrounding web formed with an elastomeric waistband
to include a respective first and second leg opening divided by
a central crotch web. A pocket member is mounted to the torso web
to position a condom member therewithin. A modificaition of the
invention includes a second pocket member spaced from a first pocket
member defined by a fluid impermeable pocket structure including
a zipper seam to permit depositing of a condom member therewithin,
wherein the second pocket is arranged to include a tube member including
a germicidal fluid that is punctured upon projection and securement
of the zipper seam together directing germicidal fluid through a
distribution conduit positioned below the tube member in communication
with the second pocket cavity.
My invention resides not in any one of these features per se, but
rather in the particular combination of all of them herein disclosed
and claimed and it is distinguished from the prior art in this particular
combination of all of its structures for the functions specified.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important
features of the invention in order that the detailed description
thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that
the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There
are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be
described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of
the claims appended hereto. Those skilled in the art will appreciate
that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily
be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods
and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present
invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded
as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not
depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially
the scientists, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not

new and improved condom pocket underwear which has all the advantages
of the prior art underwear construction and none of the disadvantages.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new
and improved condom pocket underwear which may be easily and efficiently
manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new
and improved condom pocket underwear which is of a durable and reliable
construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a
new and improved condom pocket underwear which is susceptible of
a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor,
and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale
to the consuming public, thereby making such condom pocket underwear
economically available to the buying public.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide
a new and improved condom pocket underwear which provides in the
apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages
thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS.
1 to 8 thereof, a new and improved condom pocket underwear embodying
the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally
designated by the reference numerals 10 and 10a will be described.
More specifically, the condom pocket underwear 10 of the instant
invention essentially comprises a torso surrounding web 11 including
an annular elastomeric waistband 12 fixedly mounted to an upper
perimeter end of the torso web 11 to provide access into the underwear
member 10. A first leg opening 13 and a second leg opening 14 are
directed through the torso web 11 demarcated by a crotch web 15.
As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the garment may be configured as
either a man's or woman's underwear garment respectively, including
a pocket member 17 mounted to the torso web 11 adjacent the waistband
defined by a pocket member cavity 18 including a condom member 19
contained therewithin. As a man's underwear garment, as illustrated
in FIG. 1, a crotch web opening flap 16 is provided. It should be
further noted that should the use of an elastomeric band 12 be utilized
individually with a plurality of waistband stocking support tethers
20, the pocket 17 may be mounted to one of the tethers such as in
the FIG. 3.
A modified aspect of the invention as illustrated in FIG. 4 and
set forth by the construction 10a includes a second pocket 21 mounted
to the torso web 11 adjacent the waistband for ease of access thereto,
wherein the second pocket 21 (see FIG. 6) is defined by a second
pocket cavity 30. The second pocket 21 is formed by a generally
"U" shaped fluid impermeable web 22 formed with a single
uppermost opening that is selectively closed by an associated zipper
opening seam 26. The zipper seam 26 includes a "V" shaped
zipper projecting seam 23 mounted to an upper first end of the opening
receivable within a "V" shaped zipper cavity 24 that is
coextensive therewith. The "V" shaped zipper projecting
seam 23 is formed with projecting seam tip 25 (see FIG. 9) that
may be formed in a manner as set forth in the FIG. 9 for the selective
piercing of a tube member 27 positioned and fixedly mounted within
an apex of the "V" shaped cavity 24. The tube member 27
is filled with a germicidal fluid 28 for distribution upon a condom
member that is subsequently placed within the second pocket 21.
The tube member 27 is positioned above a distribution conduit 29
in fluid communication with the tube member 27 and the underlying
second pocket cavity 30 to deposit the germicidal fluid 28 within
the cavity 30 and an associated condom member positioned therewithin
upon projection of the seam tip 25 into the tube member 27 forcing
the germicidal fluid 28 through the distribution conduit 29 and
into the second pocket cavity 30 for a sanitary disposing of the
condom member 19.
It should be noted that the second pocket 21 may be opened and
its contents emptied and washed in a conventional manner for the
sanitizing of the pocket for subsequent use, wherein a replacement
tube member 27 and associated germicidal fluid 28 contained therewithin
may be readhered within the apex of the "V" shaped cavity
24.
As to the manner of usage and operation of the instant invention,
the same should be apparent from the above disclosure, and accordingly
no further discussion relative to the manner of usage and operation
of the instant invention shall be provided.
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. |
