Abstract
A pair of underwear for use by a male includes a fabric
fashioned to form a boxer-brief type undergarment, the fabric
having a bilateral symmetry and including a front panel. A rear
panel is formed within the fabric and positioned immediately behind
the front panel to form an internal pocket. A slit-shaped portal is
formed within the rear panel for providing access to the internal
pocket for depositing a scrotum and genitalia of the male. Finally,
an external pouch extending outward from the front panel is
provided as a depository for the genitalia of the male. The
boxer-brief type undergarment minimizes perspiration and
irritation, absorbs accidental leakage of fluid body waste, and
eliminates exposure to the fluid body waste and stains on the body
of the male. A thin layer of absorbent material can be included to
minimize the effects of accidental leakage.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention relates to an article of clothing.
More specifically, the present invention relates to methods and
apparatus for boxer-brief type underwear for use by men and boys,
the underwear having an internal pocket and an external pouch for
capturing and separating the male scrotum and genitalia from the
body to provide adequate space and comfort and to minimize
perspiration, leakage and irritation thus improving personal
hygiene.
[0003] 2. Background Art
[0004] Underwear for men and boys has been an article of clothing
typically worn for many years. The underwear is normally available
in two distinct and conventional styles including the boxer-style
and the brief-style. The boxer-style underwear is typically a
rectangular box-shaped garment with an elastic waste band and
material that extends downward from the waste band to cover each
leg to approximately the mid-thigh region. The boxer-style
underwear is typically a loose fitting garment comprised of cotton
material and may or may not include a separation in the material
located in the front of the underwear for facilitating discharge of
fluid body waste.
[0005] The brief-style underwear is a snugger, tighter fitting
garment typically designed to be close fitting with the intent of
tightly securing the male scrotum and genitalia in position next to
the body within the brief-type underwear. Consequently, the
brief-type underwear is typically worn by men and boys who are more
active, such as, for example, those who participate in athletics
which involve running, jumping and the like. The brief-type
underwear is typically fabricated from cotton or other material
having an elastic waistband but unlike the boxer-style underwear
does not cover much or any portion of the leg. The brief-type
underwear typically terminates at the point where the leg
interfaces with the lower abdominal region. The leg openings formed
in the brief-type underwear are typically positioned high on the
leg close to the scrotum area and usually incorporate an elastic
material to facilitate the close fitting design. Furthermore, the
brief-type underwear may or may not include a separation in the
material located in the front of the underwear for facilitating
discharge of fluid body waste.
[0006] Notwithstanding the type of underwear known in the prior art
including the boxer-type and the brief-type underwear or a hybrid
combination thereof, once the underwear is donned, the scrotum and
genitalia of the man or boy is pressed against the body. This
situation contributes to perspiration in the scrotum area caused by
normal body temperature and consequential irritation and potential
heat rashes. Many males suffer with the discomfort of leakage from
the genitalia. Any leakage resulting from the accidental discharge
of fluid body waste is often trapped in the fabric of conventional
underwear and may not completely dry because of limited air
circulation. Consequently, the leakage stained underwear remains
next to the skin of the body. Additionally, the leakage stain in
the underwear garment can also stain the outer garment, such as for
example, mens pants and shorts. It is clear that this is not an
acceptable hygienic situation. This situation is both embarrassing
and costly and sometimes the stains cannot be removed from the
clothing.
[0007] Thus, there is a need in the art for an article of clothing
comprising boxer-brief type underwear for men and boys having an
internal pocket and an external pouch formed inside of the front of
the garment for capturing and separating the male scrotum and
genitalia from the male body to provide adequate space and comfort,
to minimize perspiration and irritation in the scrotum area, and to
eliminate the stains and exposure of the body to the fluid body
waste resulting from the accidental leakage onto the underwear that
is positioned next to the body, thus improving overall personal
hygiene.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
[0008] Briefly, and in general terms, the present invention
provides a new and improved article of clothing comprising
boxer-brief type underwear having an internal pocket and an
external pouch for use by men and boys. The internal pocket and the
external pouch of the boxer-brief type underwear are formed inside
of the front panel of the boxer-brief type underwear for capturing
and separating the male scrotum and genitalia from the male body.
This clothing article design incorporating the internal pocket and
the external pouch functions to provide adequate space and comfort,
to minimize perspiration and irritation in the scrotum area, to
absorb accidental leakage of fluid body waste, and to eliminate
stains and exposure of the body to the fluid body waste resulting
from the accidental leakage within the inventive underwear. Thus,
the personal hygiene of the person wearing the inventive
boxer-brief type underwear is improved.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the boxer-brief type underwear
having an internal pocket and an external pouch comprises a fabric,
typically cotton, fashioned to form an undergarment for use by
males including both men and boys. The boxer-brief type underwear
is designed to fit the pelvic region of the male and consequently
exhibits a bilateral symmetry about a vertical axis passing through
the centerline of the boxer-brief type underwear.
[0010] When viewed from the front, the boxer-brief type underwear
includes a front panel of fabric. Sewn immediately behind and
attached to the front panel of fabric is a rear panel of fabric.
The space created between the front panel and rear panel of fabric
forms an internal pocket. When the boxer-brief type underwear is
donned by a male, the internal pocket is positioned over the lower
abdominal region of the body. The rear panel of fabric located at
the rear of the internal pocket includes a vertical slit-shaped
portal. The slit-shaped portal serves to provide access to the
internal pocket designed in the boxer-brief type underwear for the
deposit of the scrotum and genitalia of the male. An inner surface
of the internal pocket may include a thin layer of absorbent
material such as cotton to minimize the effects of accidental
leakage.
[0011] Extending outward from the front panel of the boxer-brief
type underwear is an external pouch. The external pouch is an
extension of the internal pocket and is also accessible through the
vertical slit-shaped portal formed in the rear panel of the fabric.
The external pouch functions to provide a depository for the
genitalia of the male when additional space is required. The
boxer-brief type underwear further includes a pair of legs formed
in the fabric with corresponding openings to accommodate the legs
of a male, and an elastic waste band.
[0012] The present invention is generally directed to a pair of
underwear for use by a male which includes a fabric fashioned to
form a boxer-brief type undergarment, the fabric having a bilateral
symmetry and including a front panel. A rear panel is formed within
the fabric and positioned immediately behind the front panel to
form an internal pocket. A slit-shaped portal is formed within the
rear panel for providing access to the internal pocket for
depositing a scrotum and genitalia of the male. Finally, an
external pouch extending from the front panel is provided as a
depository for the genitalia of the male. The boxer-brief type
undergarment minimizes perspiration and irritation, absorbs
accidental leakage of fluid body waste, and eliminates exposure to
the fluid body waste and stains on the body of the male.
[0013] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, a
pair of underwear for use by a male includes a fabric fashioned to
form a brief-type undergarment. Like the preferred embodiment, the
fabric of this brief-type undergarment exhibits a bilateral
symmetry and includes a front panel. A pair of leg openings are
formed in the fabric to accommodate the legs of the male. A rear
panel is formed within the fabric and is positioned immediately
behind the front panel to form an internal pocket. Finally, a
slit-shaped portal is formed within the rear panel for providing
access to the internal pocket and for depositing a scrotum and
genitalia of the male into the internal pocket to minimize
perspiration and irritation, absorb accidental leakage of fluid
body waste, and eliminate exposure to the fluid body waste and
stains on the body of the male.
[0014] These and other objects and advantages of the present
invention will become apparent from the following more detailed
description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings
which illustrate the invention, by way of example.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0021] The present invention relates to an article of clothing
comprising boxer-brief type underwear 100 having an internal pocket
102 and an external pouch 104 for use by men and boys as shown in
FIGS. 1-3. The internal pocket 102 and the external pouch 104 of
the boxer-brief type underwear 100 are formed inside of a front
panel 106 of the boxer-brief type underwear 100 for capturing and
separating the male scrotum and genitalia (not shown) from the male
body. This clothing article design incorporating the internal
pocket 102 and the external pouch 104 functions to provide adequate
space and comfort, to minimize perspiration and irritation in the
scrotum area, to absorb accidental leakage of fluid body waste, and
to eliminate stains on the body and exposure of the body to the
fluid body waste resulting from the accidental leakage within the
inventive underwear 100. Thus, the personal hygiene of the person
wearing the inventive boxer-brief type underwear 100 is
improved.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the boxer-brief type underwear
100 including the internal pocket 102 and external pouch 104 is
fashioned from a fabric 108 such as, for example, cotton. In the
preferred embodiment, fine 100% cotton jersey has been selected as
the fabric 108 but it should be understood that any suitable fabric
is acceptable. The fine 100% cotton jersey has been selected since
it is smooth to the body and very comfortable to wear against the
skin. The boxer-brief type underwear 100 is fashioned to fit the
pelvic region of the male who wears the inventive undergarment.
Thus, the fashioned fabric 108 forms an undergarment for use by a
male, including both men and boys. The boxer-brief type underwear
100 exhibits a bilateral symmetry as is clearly shown in FIGS. 1
and 2. As it relates to the present invention, bilateral symmetry
is intended to mean that the two halves of the boxer-brief type
underwear 100 located on opposite sides of an imaginary vertical
centerline axis (not shown) passing through the boxer-brief type
underwear 100 correspond in size, shape and position.
[0023] When viewed from the front as is illustrated in FIG. 1, the
front panel 106 is visible in the boxer-brief type underwear 100.
The front panel 106 is comprised of the fabric 108 and is located
between an elastic waste band 110 and a crotch area 112. In
general, the front panel 106 of the boxer-brief type underwear 100
is one of the components utilized in the present invention for
forming the internal pocket 102 and the external pouch 104 which
are each utilized for capturing and separating the male scrotum and
genitalia (not shown) from the male body. This construction will
now be described in more detail.
[0024] Positioned immediately behind and attached as by stitching
to the front panel 106 of fabric 108 is a rear panel 114 as is
clearly shown in FIG. 2. The rear panel 114 is also comprised of
the fabric 108 and is also located between the elastic waste band
110 and the crotch area 112. When comparing the view shown in FIG.
1 with the interior view of the front side of the boxer-brief type
underwear 100 shown in FIG. 2, it is apparent that the rear panel
114 is essentially congruent with the front panel 106. Because the
rear panel 114 is physically attached as by stitching to the front
panel 106, a space is created there between. The space created
between the front panel 106 and the rear panel 114 of the fabric
108 forms the internal pocket 102 as shown in FIG. 3. When the
boxer-brief type underwear 100 is donned by a male, the internal
pocket 102 is essentially positioned over the lower abdominal
region of the body.
[0025] Access to the internal pocket 102 of the boxer-brief type
underwear 100 is provided through the rear panel 114 as is shown in
FIG. 2. The rear panel 114 of fabric 108 located at the backside of
the internal pocket 102 includes a vertical slit-shaped portal 116.
The slit-shaped portal 116 serves to provide access to the internal
pocket 102 designed in the boxer-brief type underwear 100 for the
deposit of the scrotum and genitalia (not shown) of the male. The
portal 116 being slit-shaped includes opposing folds 118 of fabric
108 which can be separated by hand to provide ready access to the
internal pocket 102. An inner surface of the internal pocket 102
can include a thin layer of absorbent material (not shown) such as
cotton to minimize the effects of accidental leakage. Once the
scrotum and genitalia are inserted through the slit-shaped portal
116 and positioned within the internal pocket 102, they are
separated from the remainder of the body of the male.
[0026] Extending outward from the front panel 106 of the
boxer-brief type underwear 100 is the external pouch 104 as is
clearly shown in FIG. 3. The external pouch 104 is also comprised
of the fabric 108 and is attached to the front panel 106. The
external pouch 104 provides an additional volume of space and can
be viewed as an extension of the internal pocket 102. Furthermore,
the external pouch 104 is accessible through the vertical
slit-shaped portal 116 formed in the rear panel 114 of the fabric
108 of the internal pocket 102 as shown in FIG. 2. Thus, passing
through the slit-shaped portal 116 leads into the internal pocket
102, and the external pouch 104 is positioned just beyond the
internal pocket 102. From a practical point of view, the external
pouch 104 functions to provide a depository for the genitalia of
the male when additional space is necessary.
[0027] The boxer-brief type underwear 100 further includes a pair
of legs 120 formed in the fabric 108. The pair of legs 120 extend
from the crotch area 112 for a short distance as is shown in FIGS.
1-3. Additionally, each leg of the pair of legs 120 includes a
corresponding leg opening 122 to accommodate the leg extremities of
the male. It is noted that the boxer-brief type underwear 100
includes characteristics from both the boxer style and the brief
style types of underwear. In particular, the inventive undergarment
of the preferred embodiment exhibits the characteristics of a boxer
style underwear by incorporating the pair of legs 120 and further
combines the characteristic a snugger tighter fit of the brief
style type of underwear.
[0028] Thus, the boxer-brief type underwear 100 of the present
invention is generally directed to a pair of underwear for use by a
male which includes the fabric 108 fashioned to form the
boxer-brief type undergarment, the fabric 108 having bilateral
symmetry and including the front panel 106. The rear panel 114 is
formed within the fabric 108 and positioned immediately behind the
front panel 106 to form the internal pocket 102. The slit-shaped
portal 116 is formed within the rear panel 114 for providing access
to the internal pocket 102 for depositing the scrotum and genitalia
of the male. Finally, the external pouch 104 extending from the
front panel 106 is provided as a depository for the genitalia of
the male when additional space is necessary. The boxer-brief type
undergarment minimizes perspiration and irritation, absorbs
accidental leakage of fluid body waste, and eliminates exposure to
the fluid body waste and stains on the body of the male.
[0029] An alternative embodiment of the present invention will now
be disclosed and is directed to a brief-type underwear identified
by the identification number 200 as illustrated in FIGS. 4-6
herein. Each component of structure appearing in the alternative
embodiment 200 that is duplicate to a component of structure
appearing in the preferred embodiment 100 is identified by the
corresponding number of the two-hundred series.
[0030] The brief-type underwear 200 of the alternative embodiment
of the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 4-6. The
alternative embodiment of the present invention includes an
internal pocket 202 for use by men and boys. An external pouch is
not included in the brief-type underwear 200. The internal pocket
202 of the brief-type underwear 200 is formed inside of a front
panel 206 of the brief-type underwear 200 for capturing and
separating the male scrotum and genitalia (not shown) from the male
body. This clothing article design incorporating the internal
pocket 202 functions to provide adequate space and comfort, to
minimize perspiration and irritation in the scrotum area, to absorb
accidental leakage of fluid body waste, and to eliminate stains on
the body and exposure of the body to the fluid body waste resulting
from the accidental leakage within the inventive underwear 200.
Thus, the personal hygiene of the person wearing the inventive
brief-type underwear 200 is improved.
[0031] In the alternative embodiment, the brief-type underwear 200
including the internal pocket 202 is fashioned from a fabric 208
such as, for example, cotton. A fine 100% cotton jersey has been
selected as the fabric 208 but it should be understood that any
suitable fabric is acceptable. The fine 100% cotton jersey has been
selected since it is smooth to the body and very comfortable to
wear against the skin. The brief-type underwear 200 is fashioned to
fit the pelvic region of the male who wears the inventive
undergarment. Thus, the fashioned fabric 208 forms an undergarment
for use by a male, including both men and boys. The brief-type
underwear 200 exhibits a bilateral symmetry as is clearly shown in
FIGS. 4 and 5. As it relates to the present invention, bilateral
symmetry is intended to mean that the two halves of the brief-type
underwear 200 located on opposite sides of an imaginary vertical
centerline axis (not shown) passing through the brief-type
underwear 200 correspond in size, shape and position.
[0032] When viewed from the front as is illustrated in FIG. 4, the
front panel 206 is visible in the brief-type underwear 200. The
front panel 206 is comprised of the fabric 208 and is located
between an elastic waste band 210 and a crotch area 212. In
general, the front panel 206 of the brief-type underwear 200 is one
of the components utilized in the present invention for forming the
internal pocket 202 which is utilized for capturing and separating
the male scrotum and genitalia (not shown) from the male body. This
construction will now be described in more detail.
[0033] Positioned immediately behind and attached as by stitching
to the front panel 206 of fabric 208 is a rear panel 214 as is
clearly shown in FIG. 5. The rear panel 214 is also comprised of
the fabric 208 and is also located between the elastic waste band
210 and the crotch area 212. When comparing the view shown in FIG.
4 with the interior view of the front side of the brief-type
underwear 200 shown in FIG. 5, it is apparent that the rear panel
214 is essentially congruent with the front panel 206. Because the
rear panel 214 is physically attached as by stitching to the front
panel 206, a space is created there between. The space created
between the front panel 206 and the rear panel 214 of the fabric
208 forms the internal pocket 202 as shown in FIG. 6. When the
brief-type underwear 200 is donned by a male, the internal pocket
202 is essentially positioned over the lower abdominal region of
the body.
[0034] Access to the internal pocket 202 of the brief-type
underwear 200 is provided through the rear panel 214 as is shown in
FIG. 5. The rear panel 214 of fabric 208 located at the backside of
the internal pocket 202 includes a vertical slit-shaped portal 216.
The slit-shaped portal 216 serves to provide access to the internal
pocket 202 designed in the brief-type underwear 200 for the deposit
of the scrotum and genitalia (not shown) of the male. The portal
216 being slit-shaped includes opposing folds 218 of fabric 208
which can be separated by hand to provide ready access to the
internal pocket 202. An inner surface of the internal pocket 202
can include a thin layer of absorbent material (not shown) such as
cotton to minimize the effects of accidental leakage. Once the
scrotum and genitalia are inserted through the slit-shaped portal
216 and positioned within the internal pocket 202, they are
separated from the remainder of the body of the male.
[0035] The brief-type underwear 200 further includes a pair of leg
openings 222 formed in the fabric 208. The pair of leg openings 222
are symmetrically located on each side of the front panel 206 and
extend from just below the elastic waste band 210 to the crotch
area 212 as is shown in FIGS. 4-5. Each leg opening 222 is designed
to accommodate a corresponding leg extremity of the male.
Furthermore, the fabric 208 which forms each of the leg openings
222 can include an elastic band 224 sewn therein to enable the
brief-type underwear 200 to more closely adhere to the body of the
male. In particular, the inventive undergarment of the alternative
embodiment exhibits the characteristics of a snugger tighter fit of
the brief style type of underwear.
[0036] Thus, the brief-type underwear 200 of the alternative
embodiment of the present invention is generally directed to a pair
of underwear for use by a male which includes the fabric 208
fashioned to form a brief type undergarment for a male where the
fabric 208 exhibits a bilateral symmetry and includes a front panel
206. A pair of leg openings 222 are formed in the fabric 208 for
accommodating the legs of the male. A rear panel 214 formed within
the fabric 208 is positioned immediately behind the front panel 206
to form an internal pocket 202. A slit-shaped portal 216 is formed
within the rear panel 214 for providing access to the internal
pocket 202 and for depositing a scrotum and genitalia (not shown)
of the male into the internal pocket 202 for minimizing
perspiration and irritation, and for absorbing accidental leakage
of fluid body waste, and for eliminating exposure to the fluid body
waste and stains on the body of the male.
[0037] The present invention provides novel advantages over other
undergarments for use by males known in the prior art. A main
advantage of the boxer-brief type underwear 100 is that (1) the
novel design traps and absorbs accidental leakage of fluid body
waste, which (2) eliminates exposure of the body of the male to the
fluid body waste, and (3) eliminates fluid waste stains on the body
of the male to overcome the common problem of leakage suffered by
many males, and (4) eliminates the cost of dry cleaning outer
garments stained by the accidental leakage, and (5) separates the
scrotum and genitalia from the remainder of the body of the male
for minimizing perspiration and irritation caused by normal body
heat generation, and (6) improves the personal hygiene of the male
wearing the boxer-brief type underwear 100, and (7) provides a male
undergarment fabricated from fine 100% cotton jersey that is very
comfortable to wear against the body of the male.
[0038] While the present invention is described herein with
reference to illustrative embodiments for particular applications,
it should be understood that the invention is not limited thereto.
Those having ordinary skill in the art and access to the teachings
provided herein will recognize additional modifications,
applications and embodiments within the scope thereof and
additional fields in which the present invention would be of
significant utility. For example, it is within the scope of the
