Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention is directly relative to a man's
underpants with a transverse urination opening.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Typically, an urination opening is necessary to be created
on current man's underpants to make a man convenient to urinate.
However, the urination opening provided on a modern underpants for
man is commonly designed to be a straight opening. FIG. 1 shows a
cotton underpants for man provided with a straight urination
opening for facilitating a man's urination. Nevertheless, when a
man dressed in an underpants of FIG. 1 desires to urinate, the
outer sheathing cloth 12 must be pulled left by hand and then the
inner sheathing cloth 13 also must be pulled right by hand. The
operation to the sheathing cloth of the underpants for man is not
very convenient and tasteful, and thus the conventional underpants
is not quite suitable for a modern man.
[0003] Referring to FIG. 2, the woven underpants 20 also include a
straight urination opening 21 and a button 22 provided thereon.
When a man intends to urinate and the underpants are unbuttoned,
the outer sheathing cloth 23 also must be pulled left by hand and
then the inner sheathing cloth 24 also must be pulled right by
hand. As a result, it is somewhat unqualified to become an ideal
underpants for man.
[0004] Therefore, the applicant contributes heaps of efforts in
developing an ideal underpants for man, and presents a novel
underpants for man, in which a transverse urination opening is
provided thereon that can make man's urination process more
convenient and tasteful.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide an
underpants for man which can make a man convenient to urinate.
[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide an
underpants for man with a tasteful contour.
[0007] To this end, the underpants for man according to the present
invention are characterized by a transverse urination opening
provided thereon for making a man convenient to urinate.
[0008] Preferably, the urination opening is located at the
middlemost region of man's underpants. Alternatively, the urination
opening is located above or below the middlemost region of man's
underpants.
[0009] Additionally, the underpants for man according to the
present invention further include a lining located below the
transverse urination opening, and an extending list located either
in the interior or exterior of the underpants for shielding the
transverse urination opening. Moreover, the underpants for man
according to the present invention further include a reinforced
list twined around the transverse urination opening.
[0010] The underpants for man according to the present invention
may be twined by cotton or woven fabric. On the other hand, the
transverse urination opening can be linear or archwise.
[0011] In addition, the underpants for man according to the present
invention further include a button for buttoning the transverse
urination opening.
[0012] Now the foregoing and other features and advantages of the
present invention will be more clearly understood through the
following descriptions with reference to the accompanying drawings,
in which:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0022] Referring now to FIG. 3, the underpants 30 for man according
to the present invention are provided with a transverse urination
opening 32 for making a man convenient to urinate. Unlike the prior
art underpants for man, the design of the urination opening
provided with man's underpants according to the present invention
is modified to be transverse. Therefore, when a man is in an urgent
need to urinate, the underpants of the present invention will be
more convenient and comfortable for a man to dress in.
[0023] The transverse urination opening 32 can be located at the
middlemost region of the underpants 30, or else the urination
opening 32 can be located above or below the middlemost region of
the underpants 30. As shown in FIG. 4, the transverse urination
opening 32 is located on the left-biased region of the underpants,
which is in favor of a left-hander to urinate when dressed in the
underpants of the present invention. The underpants according to
the present invention further include a lining 38 located below the
transverse urination opening 32. The underpants of the present
invention can be twined by cotton.
[0024] In FIG. 5, an extending list 34 is further provided with the
underpants of the present invention. The extending list 34 is
either located in the interior of the underpants or located in the
exterior of the underpants as shown in FIG. 6. The extending list
34 is used to shield the transverse urination opening 32 of the
underpants 30 according to the present invention.
[0025] Referring to FIG. 3 again, a thin list 36 is applied to be
twined into a reinforced list 37 around the transverse urination
opening 32 for extending the longevity of the underpants 30. In
FIG. 9, the transverse urination opening 32 is created by cutting
away the front cloth of the underpants 30, and then twine the yarn
42 into an upper hem 43 and a lower hem 33.
[0026] References are now made to FIG. 4, FIG. 7 and FIG. 8. The
transverse urination opening 32 can be a linear opening 38 as shown
in FIG. 4, or can be an archwise opening 39 as shown in FIG. 7. In
FIG. 8, the underpants of the present invention can be twined by
woven fabric, and includes a button 40 for buttoning the transverse
urination opening 32.
[0027] In summary, it can be clearly understood that the present
invention contrives a novel man's underpants with a transverse
urination opening which is favorable for a man to urinate. In this
way, man do not need to spend too much efforts in the urination
process as previously described.
[0028] While the invention has been described in terms of what are
presently considered to be the most practical and preferred
embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention need not be
limited to the disclosed embodiment. On the contrary, it is
intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements
included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims which
are to be accorded with the broadest interpretation so as to
encompass all such modifications and similar structures. Therefore,
the above description and illustration should not taken as limiting
the scope of the present invention which is defined by the appended
claims.
