PANTIES OF MAN'S FOR PROTECTION OF GENITAL AREA
Abstract
Panties of man's for protection of genital area. A scrotum
pocket delimitation band is provided around a scrotum pocket formed
on the front surface of an underpants body to receive the scrotum,
thereby rendering contractibility to the scrotum pocket. The penis
and the scrotum are separated from each other by the elasticity of
a penis pocket delimitation band. The outer cloth of a penis pocket
is formed with cut-away portions so that the upper part of the
penis pocket is held close to the human body and the penis can be
easily received in the lower part of the penis pocket. A portion of
the upper part of the outer cloth of the penis pocket is not
stitched to the underpants body, thus being open and thereby
promoting ventilation of the inside space of the penis pocket.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates, in general, to man's
underpants for protection of the private parts, and more
particularly, to man's underpants for protection of the private
parts, in which a scrotum pocket delimitation band is provided
around a scrotum pocket formed on the frontal surface of an
underpants body to receive the scrotum, thereby rendering
contractibility to the scrotum pocket, the penis and the scrotum
are separated from each other by the elasticity of a penis pocket
delimitation band, the outer cloth of a penis pocket is formed with
cut-away portions so that the upper part of the penis pocket can be
held close to the human body and the penis can be easily received
in the lower part of the penis pocket, and a portion of the upper
part of the outer cloth of the penis pocket is not stitched to the
underpants body but is open, and thereby promotes ventilation of
the inside space of the penis pocket, whereby the scrotum and the
penis of the private parts are prevented from being brought into
contact with each other and from becoming damp, and a wearer's
sensation when wearing the underpants is improved.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] As is generally known in the art, in a man's body structure,
the penis and the scrotum project from the crotch, and underpants
are worn to protect the penis and the scrotum.
[0003] The underpants are made of a material capable of absorbing
sweat to protect the private parts as well as improve the hygiene
of the private parts.
[0004] The conventional man's underpants comprise an underpants
body for covering the front and rear sections of the lower part of
the human body, a waist band for holding the underpants around the
waist, and a pair of leg insertion openings which are defined on
the lower end of the underpants body to allow the legs to pass
therethrough. Due to this construction, the underpants can be
easily worn on the human body.
[0005] However, the conventional man's underpants suffer from
disadvantages in that the private parts including the penis and the
scrotum, which are regarded as important organs of the human body,
are compressed too tightly. Hence, because the private parts are
positioned in a region in which a relatively large amount of sweat
is generated, the private parts are likely to remain damp, bring
about an unsanitary condition and being vulnerable to disease.
[0006] Therefore, in order to solve the disadvantages of the
conventional man's underpants, sanitary underpants have recently
been disclosed in the art, in which the private organs are kept
separated by bands.
[0007] Nevertheless, in these sanitary underpants, because the
penis and the scrotum project from the crotch due to the man's body
structure, the penis and the scrotum are still compressed by the
underpants and adhere closely to each other and to the lower part
of the human body. As a result, although the degree to which the
penis and the scrotum are brought together is decreased to some
extent, the underpants do not improve the hygiene and health of the
man wearing the underpants.
DISCLOSURE
[Technical Problem]
[0008] Accordingly, the present invention has been made in an
effort to solve the problems occurring in the related art, and an
object of the present invention is to provide man's underpants for
protection of the private parts, in which a scrotum pocket
delimitation band is provided around a scrotum pocket formed on the
frontal surface of an underpants body to receive the scrotum,
thereby rendering contractibility to the scrotum pocket, the penis
and the scrotum are separated from each other due to the elasticity
of a penis pocket delimitation band, the outer cloth of a penis
pocket is formed with cut-away portions so that the upper part of
the penis pocket can be held close to the human body and the penis
can be easily received in the lower part of the penis pocket, and a
portion of the upper part of the outer cloth of the penis pocket is
not stitched to the underpants body, thus being open and promoting
ventilation of the inside space of the penis pocket, whereby the
scrotum and the penis of the private parts are prevented from being
brought into contact with each other and from being damp, and a
wearer's sensation of wearing the underpants is improved.
[Technical Solution]
[0009] In order to achieve the above object, according to the
present invention, there are provided man's underpants for the
protection of the private parts, which are improved over the man's
underpants for protection of the private parts as disclosed in
Korean Utility Model Application Nos. 2000-31595, 2000-28154 and
2003-719 by the present applicant. In the panties of man's for
protection of genital area according to the present invention, an
underpants body made of a ventilating cloth covers a portion of a
lower part of the human body, is provided with a waist band to
allow the underpants to be held around the waist, and has leg
insertion openings; a scrotum pocket is formed on a frontal surface
of the underpants body to contractibly receive the scrotum, and a
scrotum pocket delimitation band is provided around the scrotum
pocket such that wrinkles are formed below a protruding part of the
scrotum pocket; a penis pocket is coupled around an opening which
is defined on an upper end of the scrotum pocket, to receive the
penis, and a penis pocket delimitation band is provided around the
penis pocket so that the penis and the scrotum can be separated
from each other due to the elasticity of the penis pocket
delimitation band; a parabolic cut-away portion is integrally
formed from the inner cloth of the penis pocket, and a cut-away
portion is formed in the central lower end of the inner cloth of
the penis pocket to define a lower end opening, so that both side
portions of the inner cloth are stitched; an outer cloth of the
penis pocket is defined with two transverse cut-away portions and
two longitudinal cut-away portions, the facing cut-away edges of
each cut-away portion are stitched together, and the outer cloth is
stitched to the underpants body and the inner cloth, so that the
upper part of the penis pocket can be held close to the human body,
and curved portions are naturally formed on the lower part of the
penis pocket; and a portion of the upper part of the outer cloth of
the penis pocket is not stitched to the underpants body, thus being
open and promoting ventilation of the inside space of the penis
pocket, whereby the scrotum and the penis of the private parts are
prevented from being brought into contact with each other and from
being damp, and a wearer's sensation of wearing the underpants is
improved.

BEST MODE
[0016] Reference will now be made in greater detail to a preferred
embodiment of the invention, an example of which is illustrated in
the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference
numerals will be used throughout the drawings and the description
to refer to the same or like parts.
[0017] In man's underpants for protection of the private parts in
accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, an
underpants body 1 made of a ventilating cloth covers a portion of
the lower part of the human body, is provided with a waist band 2
to allow the underpants be held around the waist, and has leg
insertion openings 3. A scrotum pocket 11 is formed on the frontal
surface of the underpants body 1 to contractibly receive the
scrotum, and a scrotum pocket delimitation band 12 having
predetermined elasticity is provided around the scrotum pocket 11
such that wrinkles 14 are formed below the protruding part 13 of
the scrotum pocket 11. A penis pocket 21 is coupled around the
opening 15, which is defined on the upper end of the scrotum pocket
11 to receive the penis, and a penis pocket delimitation band 16 is
provided around the penis pocket 21 to render contractibility to
the penis pocket 21. A parabolic cut-away portion 23 is integrally
formed on the inner cloth 22 of the penis pocket 21 coupled around
the opening 15 of the scrotum pocket 11. A cut-away portion 24 is
formed on the central lower end of the inner cloth 22 of the penis
pocket 21 to define a lower end opening, so that, when both side
portions of the inner cloth 22 are stitched, the cut edge of the
cut-away portion 24 is naturally rounded due to the presence of the
parabolic cut-away portion 23. The outer cloth 26 of the penis
pocket 21 is defined with two transverse cut-away portions 27a and
27b and two longitudinal cut-away portions 28a and 28b, the facing
cut-away edges of each cut-away portion are stitched together, and
the outer cloth 26 is stitched to the underpants body 1 and the
inner cloth 22, so that the upper part of the penis pocket 21 can
come close to the human body, and curved portions 27 and 28 are
naturally formed on the lower part of the penis pocket 21. When
stitching the outer cloth 26 to the underpants body 1, a portion of
the upper part of the outer cloth 26 of the penis pocket 21 is not
stitched to the underpants body 1, thus defining a vent hole 29 and
thereby promoting ventilation of the inside space of the penis
pocket 21. A ring 30 is attached to the penis pocket delimitation
band 16, and a plurality of hooks 31a, 31b and 31c are attached to
the frontal surface of the scrotum pocket 11 along the
longitudinally extending center line of the scrotum pocket 11, so
that the ring 30 can be selectively hooked on one of the hooks 31a,
31b and 31c to naturally separate the scrotum pocket 11 from the
underpants body 1. A ring 32 is attached to the lower end of the
penis pocket 21, and a hook 33 is attached to the lower end of the
scrotum pocket 11, so that the ring 32 can be hooked on the hook 33
to prevent the penis pocket 21 from projecting forward.
[0018] It is preferable that the protruding part 13 of the scrotum
pocket 11 be formed of a mesh cloth to promote ventilation of the
inside space of the scrotum pocket 11.
[0019] In the man's underpants for protection of the private parts
in accordance with the embodiment of the present invention,
constructed as mentioned above, the underpants body 1 covers the
front and rear sections of the lower part of the human body. The
underpants body 1 is provided with the waist band 2 which allows
the underpants to be easily worn and held around the waist. The
underpants body 1 has leg insertion openings 3. The man's
underpants for protection of the private parts according to the
present invention are formed in a manner such that the scrotum and
the penis can be separated from the underpants body 1 and from each
other.
[0020] The front surface of the underpants body 1 is formed as the
protruding part 13. The scrotum pocket delimitation band 12 is
coupled around the proximal end of the scrotum pocket 11 such that
the wrinkles 14 are formed below the scrotum pocket 11, which can
be formed of a mesh cloth as the occasion demands. By this fact, it
is possible to contractibly hold the scrotum in the scrotum pocket
11 and to prevent the release of the scrotum from the scrotum
pocket 11 even when a person lies down and conducts vigorous
exercise, whereby the underpants can be reliably worn on the human
body.
[0021] The penis pocket delimitation band 16 is provided around the
opening 15 which is defined on the upper end of the scrotum pocket
11 so that the penis and the scrotum can be separated from each
other by the elasticity of the penis pocket delimitation band 16.
Therefore, the proximal end of the penis, which is received in the
penis pocket 11 coupled around the opening 15, can be properly held
therein, whereby the underpants can be reliably worn on the human
body.
[0022] The inner cloth 22 of the penis pocket 21, which is
integrally formed with the parabolic cut-away portion 23, is
coupled around the opening 15 of the scrotum pocket 11.
[0023] The cut-away portion 24, which is formed on the central
lower end of the inner cloth 22 of the penis pocket 21, defines the
lower end opening. When both side portions of the inner cloth 22
are stitched, the cut edge of the cut-away portion 24 is naturally
rounded due to the presence of the parabolic cut-away portion
23.
[0024] In the outer cloth 26 of the penis pocket 21, due to the
presence of the two transverse cut-away portions 27a and 27b formed
to be aligned with each other in a transverse direction, when the
facing cut-away edges of each cut-away portion 27a and 27b are
stitched together, the longitudinal dimension of the outer cloth 26
gradually decreases from the longitudinal center portion toward the
left and right sides of the outer cloth 26 and thus curves inwards.
Also, due to the presence of the two longitudinal cut-away portions
28a and 28b formed to be aligned with each other in a longitudinal
direction, when the facing cut-away edges of each cut-away portion
28a and 28b are stitched together, the transverse dimension of the
outer cloth 26 gradually decreases from the transverse center
portion toward the upper and lower ends of the outer cloth 26 and
thus curves inwards.
[0025] Due to the presence of the transverse cut-away portions 27a
and 27b and the longitudinal cut-away portions 28a and 28b, which
are formed in the outer cloth 26, when both sides of the outer
cloth 26 are stitched to the underpants body 1 and the inner cloth
22, the upper part of the penis pocket 21 can be held close to the
human body, and curved portions 27 and 28 are naturally formed on
the lower part of the penis pocket 21.
[0026] When stitching the outer cloth 26 to the underpants body 1,
a portion of the upper part of the outer cloth 26 of the penis
pocket 21 is not stitched to the underpants body 1, thus defining
the vent hole 29 and thereby promoting ventilation of the inside
space of the penis pocket 21 and providing an aesthetic
appearance.
[0027] Further, by selectively hooking the ring 30 attached to the
penis pocket delimitation band 16 on one of the plurality of hooks
31a, 31b and 31c attached to the front surface of the scrotum
pocket 11 along the longitudinally extending center line of the
scrotum pocket 11, the scrotum pocket 11 can be kept raised and
separated from the underpants body 1.
[0028] Also, by hooking the ring 32 attached to the lower end of
the penis pocket 21 on the hook 33 attached to the lower end of the
scrotum pocket 11, it is possible to prevent the penis pocket 21
from projecting forwards.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
[0029] As is apparent from the above description, the man's
underpants for protection of the private parts according to the
present invention provide advantages in that a scrotum pocket
delimitation band is provided around a scrotum pocket formed on the
front surface of an underpants body to receive the scrotum, thereby
rendering contractibility to the scrotum pocket, the penis and the
scrotum are separated from each other due to the elasticity of a
penis pocket delimitation band provided to the upper end of the
scrotum pocket, the outer cloth of a penis pocket is formed with
longitudinal and transverse cut-away portions so that, when the
penis pocket is coupled to the underpants body, the upper part of
the penis pocket can be held close to the human body and the penis
can be easily received in the lower part of the penis pocket, and a
portion of the upper part of the outer cloth of the penis pocket is
not stitched to the underpants body, thus being open and thereby
promoting ventilation of the inside space of the penis pocket,
whereby the scrotum and the penis of the private parts are
prevented from being brought into contact with each other and from
becoming damp, and a wearer's sensation of wearing the underpants
is improved.
[0030] In the drawings and specification, there have been disclosed
a typical preferred embodiment of the invention and, although
specific terms are employed, they are used in a generic and
descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation, the
scope of the invention being set forth in the following claims.
