DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Turning now descriptively to the drawings, in which like reference
characters denote like elements throughout the several views, the
figure illustrates the invention which is an undergarment 10 fabricated
out of soft absorbent material typically paper or cloth having a
side opening 12.
Elastic bands 14 are secured to the undergarment 10, allowing the
undergarment to adjustably fit a wearer (not shown). Magnetic fasteners
16 are secured to the side seam opening 12 in the undergarment 10
for closure of the side seam opening, thereby enabling the wearer
to easily don and doff the undergarment 10.
FIG. 1 shows the undergarment 10 as an undershirt 18 that includes
a main body 20 having a waist opening 22, a neck opening 24 and
a pair of sleeve openings 26. A sleeve 28 is fixedly secured about
each sleeve opening 22 in the main body 20 for receiving each arm
of the wearer. An elastic band 14 is fixedly secured about the bottom
of each sleeve 28, about the top of each sleeve 28 at the sleeve
opening 26 in the main body 20 and about the waist opening 22 in
the main body 20. An absorbent pad 30 is fixedly secured in an arm
pit area in each sleeve opening 26 in the main body 20 for absorbing
underarm perspiration of the wearer. The magnetic fasteners 16 are
fixedly secured to opposite edges of the side seam opening 12 at
the waist opening 22 in the main body 20 so that after the wearer
dons the undershirt 18, the magnetic fasteners 16 will provide adjustable
closure of the side seam opening 12. Magnetic fasteners 16 are secured
at the bottom of the waist opening 22, along the periphery thereof
to act as an adjustable unit with the elastic 14 located at the
waist opening 22. This allows the undershirt 18 to be fixedly secured
to opposite mating edges of underpants or panties likewise provisioned
with elastic and magnetic fasteners at the waist region.
The main body 20 of the undershirt 18 has a pair of breast openings
32 and a pair of nursing pads 34 to cover the breast openings 32
in the main body 20. The magnetic fasteners 16 are fixedly secured
about the breast openings 32 and about the nursing pads 34 so that
the nursing pads 34 are removably secured over the breast openings
in the main body 20. This allows a woman who is wearing the undershirt
18 to breast feed a baby.
FIG. 2 shows the undergarment 10 as a pair of men's underpants
36 that includes a main body 38 having a waist opening 40 and a
pair of legs 42. Each elastic band 14 is fixedly secured about the
bottom of one leg 42, about one leg 42 below a crotch portion of
the main body 38 and about the waist opening 40 in the main body
38. A first set of magnetic fasteners 16 are fixedly secured to
opposite edges of the side seam opening 12 at the waist opening
40 in the main body 38 so that after the underpants are pulled upon
the wearer the first set of magnetic fasteners 16 will provide adjustable
closure of the side seam opening 12. A second set of magnetic fasteners
16 are fixedly secured about a fly-opening 44 and about a fly-flap
46 of the main body 38 so that the second set of magnetic fasteners
16 will provide closure for the fly-flap 46 when pressed closed.
The waist opening 40 is provided with magnetic fasteners 16 about
the periphery thereof to act as an adjustable unit with the elastic
band 14 to allow the underpants 36 to be fixedly secured to opposite
mating edges of an undershirt likewise provisioned.
FIG. 3 shows the undergarment 10 as a pair of women's panties 48
that include a main body 50 having a waist opening 52 and a pair
of leg openings 54. Each elastic band 14 is fixedly secured about
one leg opening 54, about an intermediate portion of the main body
50 that engages with a hip portion of the wearer and about the waist
opening 52 in the main body 50. The magnetic fasteners 16 are fixedly
secured to opposite edges of the side seam opening 12 at the waist
opening 52 in the main body 50 so that after the panties 48 are
pulled upon the wearer, the magnetic fasteners 16 will provide adjustable
closure of the side seam opening 12. The waist opening 52 is also
provided with magnetic fasteners 16 about the periphery thereof.
A sanitary hygienic pad 56 is for a crotch area 58 of the main
body 50. Magnetic fasteners 16 are fixedly secured about the crotch
area 58 of the main body 50 and the sanitary hygienic pad 56 is
removably secured to the crotch area 58 of the main body 50.
It shall be noted that some absorbent pads 30 may be removably
secured to the arm pit area in each sleeve opening 26 in the main
body 20 of the undershirt 18, if desired in the manufacture thereof.
It shall also be noted that some of the sanitary hygienic pads 56
may be secured into the panties 48, if desired in the manufacture
thereof.
As seen in FIG. 4, elastic bands 14 and magnetic fasteners 16 are
fixedly secured to opposite mating edges of the undershirts, underpants
and panties in all embodiments so that when the user dons both a
shirt and pants the mating seams may be secured together adjustably
as one unit.
While certain novel features of this invention have been shown
and descried and are pointed out in the annexed claims, it will
be understood that various omissions, substitutions and changes
in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation
can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the
spirit of the invention. |
