Male undergarment: neck opening enhancement for men's upperbody
underwear
Abstract
The present invention is a novel pattern of men's undergarment
(underwear, undergarment t-shirt) intended for an ability of the
wearer to have an upper wear article of clothing to be worn without
the underwear being exposed from underneath the upper wear garment
when the two are worn together. The present invention's
undergarment's neckline pattern has a low (round, boat slit, crew,
etc.) neck opening with the neckline border line extended out
towards shoulders and down towards the chest and the back so that
when the upper garment, shirt and the like is put on (worn) over,
the invented undergarment from its neckline's border downward and
sideward is out of sight.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of Invention
[0001] The present invention is generally associated with the
object of a male undergarment that is worn in a full contact with a
surface of an upper body of a male wearer.
[0002] For All Purposes and Intentions:
[0003] Conventionally, regarding the neck opening form, shape and
border pattern of the male undergarment, its border line for
non-sleeveless underwear is shaped in 2 (two) basic forms: [0004]
a. High round neck (Crew neck) [0005] b. V-Neck
[0006] The two (2) patterns allow for the presently being invented
undergarment to be exposed from under the upper wear of the male
wearer that (unless it is intentionally done by the wearer) creates
an undesirable exposure of the undergarment in an unfashionable
unintended manner.
[0007] The present invention is intended to alter a neckline
opening pattern of a male undergarment to prevent the undershirt
from being displayed (sighted, seen) from under the upper wear
clothes that are put over it.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0008] With the foregoing in mind, it is an object of the present
invention to provide an innovative alternative to the conventional
male undergarment neck opening border form to lower the
undergarment's neckline opening border line chest/back downward out
and shoulder sideward out to the extent where wearing of any upper
garment by the wearer will not allow for the undergarment to be
exposed and visible.
[0009] To achieve the foregoing object, a male undergarment
neckline outline of the present invention includes two (2)
principally identified neckline opening edge forms generally known
as: [0010] Round Neck [0011] Boat Slit Neck to be downwardly and
sidewardly distended for at least 15 cm.
[0012] The types of undergarment described in Claims' paragraphs 4,
5, 6 and 7 are exclusively excluded from this invention for the
following reasons: [0013] Claims' paragraphs 4 and 5--the high
round and V-neck neckline opening border pattern often (not all the
time) does not prevent the undergarment from its exposure when worn
under upper wear clothes such as shirt, jumper, sweater, pullover
and the like. [0014] Claims' paragraphs 6 and 7--the sleeveless and
A-type (or tank-top) undergarment type although providing
prevention from undergarment's exposure frequently generates
underarm perspiration due to the human body's natural property to
react this way in the excessive body and ambient temperature
condition which varies from individual to individual, place to
place, time to time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0022] In the existing most used male undergarment clothes: [0023]
Design of the neck opening part of the article of clothing is
either round edged (FIG. 1A, Pos. 1) or V-Neck shaped (FIG. 1B,
Pos. 1). Both articles of closing in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B have
short-sleeved shoulder arm design. When the upper garment article
of clothing is worn over the undergarment in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B,
the neckline opening (Pos. 2 in both FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B) in both
cases is often positioned lower the neckline opening edge of the
undergarment. This combined alignment partially exposes an
undergarment from underneath the upper garment as seen in FIG. 1A
and FIG. 1B. (the exposed area is between Pos. 1 solid line and
Pos. 2 broken line of both FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B). [0024] The
described above feature applies to any type of sleeve design,
including but not limited to short cut, long, or in between length,
as well as any design of the lower torso part of the undergarment,
as well as any fabric the undergarment article of clothing is made
of. [0025] As noted the exposure creates an undesirable sighting of
the undergarment in unfashionable manner. [0026] Featured in FIG.
1C and FIG. 1D sleeveless undergarment prevents the undergarment
when worn under the upper article of closing from the exposure.
Often times however due to direct contact with the upper article of
clothing the unprotected underarm area generates underarm
perspiration as a result of the human body's natural property to
react this way in the excessive body and ambient temperature
conditions which varies from individual to individual, from place
to place and from time to time.
[0027] In the present invention: [0028] Outlined shape of the
undergarment's neck opening part of the article of clothing is
either round edged (FIG. 2A, FIG. 2C, Pos. 1) or boat slit shaped
(FIG. 2B, Pos. 1). Distinctively, the neckline borderline of the
present invention's undergarment article of clothing is situated
substantially lower than the same of undergarments' in FIG. 1A and
FIG. 1B. [0029] The upper garment's neckline opening borderline
(Pos. 2 in FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C) in this case is positioned
considerably higher the neckline opening edge of the present
invention's undergarment (Pos. 1 in FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C).
[0030] This combined alignment entirely hides a present invention's
undergarment from view from underneath the upper garment as seen in
FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C: [0031] The present invention's
undergarment neckline rim contour (refer to Pos. 1 broken line of
FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C) is located below upper garment's
neckline rim contour (refer to Pos. 2 solid line of FIG. 2A, FIG.
2B and FIG. 2C). [0032] The present invention undergarment's
outward measurements from the neckline down toward the chest and
back of the wearer and the sideward measurements from the neckline
out toward the left and right shoulder of the wearer may vary but
typically range from 15 cm to 25 cm (or longer provided that the
undergarment's top shoulder part and sleeve on each side remain
positioned in total contact with the wearer's body) which is
sufficient to maintain the undergarment's top section unseen, not
exposed. [0033] Generally, any element of the present invention's
undergarment article of clothing is acceptable to be of any shape,
form, fabric, color, etc. providing: [0034] The undergarment is not
sleeveless [0035] The undergarment is collarless [0036] Its design
is intended and the undergarment is manufactured for male wearer
exclusively [0037] The neckline opening perimeter is extended amply
to prevent the undergarment from being exposed when it is worn
underneath the upper wear article of clothing. [0038] The present
invention's article of clothing applies to any type of sleeve
design, including but not limited to short cut, long, or in between
length, as well as any design of the lower torso part of the
undergarment, as well as any fabric the undergarment article of
clothing is made of. The foregoing fabric may have any texture.
[0039] In the present invention, to be substantially in total full
contact with a surface of a male body, the being considered
undergarment is formed to have circumferential dimensions of not
less than 75% and not more than 100%, preferably not less than 75%
and not more than 100% of corresponding dimensions of a nude human
body, and lengths of not less than 85% and not more than 100%,
preferably not less than 80% and not more than 100% of
corresponding lengths of the bare human body. It should be noted
that the aforementioned ratios are mere estimates since there are
individual differences in dimensions of human bodies. [0040] In the
present invention, torso and sleeves composing the undergarment
signify the main principal portion of the named invention's article
of clothing. [0041] The undergarment of the present invention is
suitable as an undershirt worn underneath any article of clothing.
[0042] The shapes, borderline configurations, trim configurations,
etc. of the upper portion of the object of the invention are not
limited to that shown in the drawings, but may be changed
arbitrarily as required, for instance, to a low-round necked type
from boat slit type, or to a ballet-necked type from a low
round-neck type and to other combinations. [0043] In the present
invention, the resistance or submission to fabric elastic
flexibility is provided by material. [0044] Except for the subject
of the invention being the neckline opening area of the
undergarment, the factors such as sizes, contours, configurations
of any other portion of the undergarment of present invention are
immaterial. [0045] An undergarment according to the present
invention may be joined, stitched, sewn or put together by any
known method of clothes' manufacturing. [0046] The undergarment of
the present invention also may be applicable to all types of sports
such as golf, tennis, badminton, squash racquets, racquetball,
hockey, jogging, etc. [0047] FIGS. 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 2A, 2B and 2C
are views illustrating the undergarments as if they were in
actually-worn states, and shapes thereof possibly vary to some
extent according to the wearer's figure, etc. [0048] The object of
present invention may bear any imprints, pictures, be embroidered,
decorated, be of solid, striped, or mixed color, e.g. such
enhancements and enrichments of the present invention's object are
unrelated and not to be considered as grounds for new patenting,
but only for this patent's improvement.
