Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This is a continuation of International Application No.
PCT/KR2012/002961 filed Apr. 18, 2012, which is incorporated herein
by reference.
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present invention relates, in general, to an all-in-one
underwear and, more particularly, to an all-in-one underwear for
improving the shapeliness of the hips and thighs by elastically
wrapping the hips and the thighs without separately wearing briefs,
and allowing the upper arm to look slender by forming the biceps
brachii region of an arm using a double power net fabric having
remarkable elasticity and restoring force compared with a fabric
for a shoulder region and an elbow region.
BACKGROUND ART
[0003] Generally, underwear is clothing that is worn for the
purpose of covering and protecting the main regions of the body and
of keeping the body warm. Recently, there is being developed type
of underwear that is improved in appearance by providing a refined
design to the underwear using various materials and patterns.
[0004] Further, recently, research into a functional underwear
referred to as a foundation, such as a girdle, a waist slimmer, or
all-in-one underwear (body suit), is actively being conducted. The
functional underwear provides a body shaping function as well as
the good design to the underwear, thus offering comfort and giving
a good appearance to a wearer when she puts on outer clothing.
[0005] The present invention pertains to an all-in-one underwear.
All-in-one underwear may be classified according to the function
each serves; i.e.: a type of further improving an abdomen pressing
function, a hip-up function, a breast volume-up function, etc., and
a type of adding a hygiene improving function or a health promoting
function in addition to each of the above-mentioned functions. That
is, an all-in-one type of ladies underwear is designed such that a
corset is connected to a brassiere (bra). Generally, this is
configured such that the brassiere and briefs are integrally formed
on upper and lower portions of a trunk portion made of an elastic
material.
[0006] Such an all-in-one type of ladies underwear is made of a
spandex material having elasticity and thus is in close contact
with the body, with the result that it can provide beautiful curves
and correct a defective body region when a wearer puts on the
underwear.
[0007] As the conventional all-in-one underwear, there has been
proposed Korean Patent No. 10-0923504, which was filed by the same
applicant as this invention and is entitled "all-in-one underwear".
The all-in-one underwear is configured such that fabric extending
from a girdle portion and a waist slimming portion to the shoulder
is seamlessly connected to a lower portion of a brassiere portion,
thus supporting the breasts more voluminously and giving a wearer a
sensation of carrying a backpack and thereby making a crooked back
straight and providing a posture correction effect. Further, this
underwear gives a three-dimensional effect to a hip region without
using many patterns and seams, thus causing the hip region to have
more volume and affording an improved aesthetic appearance.
Furthermore, a back portion of the underwear is doubly formed of
fabric which is very high in elasticity and restoring force, thus
allowing the flesh of the armpit and the flesh around the armpit to
be perfectly covered by the fabric of an armhole and rendering the
fat of the back to move towards the breast and the hips while
preventing the flesh from bulging out. A 4-snap button is put on a
lower portion of the underwear, thus allowing the position of the
button to be selected according to the thickness of a wearer's
thighs and causing the underwear to be appropriately adjusted
according to the dimension of the groin and then be comfortably
worn.
[0008] However, consumers require an all-in-one underwear of more
various functions. To this end, many efforts are made to develop a
product for shaping a woman's body. However, the above-described
patent No. 10-0923504 is problematic in that it is impossible to
tighten a flabby upper-arm region or flabby thighs, so that the
style of dressing is unattractive.
SUMMARY
[0009] Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in
mind the above problems occurring in the related art, and is
intended to provide an all-in-one underwear, in which a girdle
portion is integrally connected thereto, thus elastically wrapping
the hips and the thighs without separately wearing briefs and
thereby improving the shapeliness of the hips and thighs.
[0010] Further, the present invention serves to provide an
all-in-one underwear, in which a sleeve made of power net fabric
extends towards the elbow by a predetermined length while
surrounding to be in close contact with a region outside an
armhole, i.e. an upper arm made of power net fabric that extends
from a girdle portion and a waist slimming portion to the shoulder
and is very high in elasticity and restoring force.
[0011] Furthermore, the present invention is intended to provide an
all-in-one underwear, in which, when an upper arm from the shoulder
to the elbow is divided into three portions, a middle portion at
which the biceps brachii of the arm are located is made of double
power net fabric having high elasticity and restoring force as
compared to the fabric for the shoulder and the elbow, thus making
the upper arm look slim.
[0012] In an aspect, the present invention provides an all-in-one
underwear having a brassiere portion, a waist slimming portion, and
a girdle portion which are integrated with each other.
[0013] The girdle portion includes an integrated leg insertion
portion extended by a predetermined length from a lower portion of
the groin toward a knee; a lower zipper openably/closably provided
from a navel region to a coccyx region of the hips in the middle of
the leg insertion portion, thus solving physiological phenomena of
excretion; and a pad having a predetermined length and width and
provided on an inner surface of a lower zipper region in such a way
as to be secured at a surface in a longitudinal direction thereof,
thus preventing damage to the skin when a slider of the lower
zipper is opened or closed.
[0014] The all-in-one underwear may further include a sleeve
extending from an armhole to an upper arm by a predetermined
length, the armhole being formed from the waist slimming portion
through a shoulder to the brassiere portion, wherein the sleeve may
be made of power net fabric having elasticity and restoring force
in such a way as to extend from the shoulder to the elbow and to
come into close contact with the upper arm, and the sleeve may be
configured such that, when the upper arm from the shoulder to the
elbow is divided into three portions, a middle portion at which
biceps brachii of the arm are located is made of double power net
fabric having high elasticity and restoring force as compared to a
fabric for the shoulder and the elbow.
[0015] Further, fabric, which is drawn out from a back side of the
waist slimming portion and extends along the shoulder to be coupled
to the brassiere portion and has high elasticity and restoring
force, may seamlessly extend along the back side of the waist
slimming portion and may be sewn to a lower portion of the
brassiere portion and an upper portion of a front side of the waist
slimming portion while surrounding the lower portion of the
brassiere portion.
[0016] Further, a hip portion of the girdle portion may be sewn by
only one piece of fabric, i.e. outer fabric having elasticity and
restoring force, and the outer fabric forming the hip portion and
having the elasticity and the restoring force may be composed of a
pair of left and right sides, and a pattern of the hip portion may
be made to be gathered, so that the hip portion may be formed in
such a way as to be puffed up and provide a three-dimensional
effect.

[0018] The sleeve may be made of power net fabric having elasticity
and restoring force in such a way as to extend from the shoulder to
an elbow and to come into close contact with the upper arm, and the
sleeve may be configured such that, when the upper arm from the
shoulder to the elbow is divided into three portions, a middle
portion at which biceps brachii of the arm are located may be made
of double power net fabric having high elasticity and restoring
force as compared to a fabric for the shoulder and the elbow.
[0019] Here, fabric, which is drawn out from a back side of the
waist slimming portion and extends along the shoulder to be coupled
to the brassiere portion and has high elasticity and restoring
force, may seamlessly extend along the back side of the waist
slimming portion and may be sewn to a lower portion of the
brassiere portion and an upper portion of a front side of the waist
slimming portion while surrounding the lower portion of the
brassiere portion.
[0020] Further, a hip portion of the girdle portion may be sewn by
only one piece of fabric, i.e. outer fabric having elasticity and
restoring force, and the outer fabric forming the hip portion and
having elasticity and the restoring force may be composed of a pair
of left and right sides, and a pattern of the hip portion may be

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0033] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention
will be described in detail.
[0034] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an all-in-one underwear
according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is
a rear view of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a view illustrating a state in
which a lower zipper of FIG. 1 is open.
[0035] Like reference numerals designate like elements throughout
the specification. In the following description, if it is decided
that the detailed description of known function or configuration
related to the invention makes the subject matter of the invention
unclear, the detailed description is omitted.
[0036] The all-in-one underwear 1000 of the present invention is
configured such that a brassiere portion 1100, a waist slimming
portion 1200 and a girdle portion 1300 are integrated with each
other. A front side of the waist slimming portion 1200 is
longitudinally cut along a central line thereof to a predetermined
length, thus forming a cut portion 1220. An upper zipper 1230 is
sewn by backstitch to open and close the cut portion 1220.
[0037] Of course, according to the embodiment of this invention,
the upper zipper 1230 is installed at an inner position. That is,
the upper zipper 1230 uses a conceal zipper to provide a good
aesthetic appearance. However, it is possible to use other general
zippers.
[0038] Here, fabric extending from a back side of the waist
slimming portion 1200 to the brassiere portion 1100 is sewn to a
lower portion of the brassiere portion 1100 and an upper portion of
the front side of the waist slimming portion 1200 while seamlessly
surrounding the lower portion of the brassiere portion 1100.
[0039] To be more specific, the fabric extending from an upper
portion of the back side of the waist slimming portion 1200 to the
brassiere portion 1100 is sewn to the lower portion of the
brassiere portion 1100 and the upper portion of the front side of
the waist slimming portion 1200 while seamlessly surrounding a
lower portion of an outer side of the brassiere portion 1100.
[0040] Thus, the fabric extending from the girdle portion 1300 and
the waist slimming portion 1200 to the shoulder is seamlessly
connected to the lower portion of the brassiere portion 1100, thus
pulling the brassiere portion 1100 upwards by the high elasticity
and restoring force of the fabric, more voluminously supporting the
breast up, and giving a wearer a sensation of carrying a backpack,
and thereby making a crooked back straight and providing a posture
correction effect.
[0041] That is, two pieces of fabric having very high elasticity
and restoring force, namely, power net fabric are configured to
surround the entire back side and the lower portion of the outer
side of the brassiere portion 1100, thus allowing the flesh of the
armpit and the back to be perfectly surrounded by an outer piece of
fabric and an inner piece of fabric, which have an armhole 1230
formed along the shoulder portion and the armpit portion and have
high elasticity and restoring force, thus preventing the flesh from
being bulged out through the armpit and pressing the flesh to move
the fat towards the breast, therefore enabling a wearer putting on
the all-in-one underwear to have confidence in her figure.
[0042] The main configuration according to the embodiment of the
present invention is as follows: as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the
girdle portion 1300 is integrally connected to a leg insertion
portion 1500 in such a way as to extend from the lower portion of
the groin towards the knee by a predetermined length. The leg
insertion portion is equipped with a lower zipper 1510 which
extends from the navel region to the coccyx region of the hips in
such a way as to be open or closed, thus solving the physiological
phenomena of excretion. A pad 1520 having a predetermined length
and width is provided on an inner surface of the leg insertion
portion equipped with the lower zipper, and is secured at a
longitudinal surface thereof so as to prevent damage to the skin
when a slider of the lower zipper 1510 is opened or closed.
[0043] Thus, the girdle portion 1300 is integrally connected to
elastically wrap the hips and the thighs without separately wearing
briefs, thus making the figure of the hips and thighs beautiful,
making it easy to solve the physiological phenomena of excretion
due to the lower zipper 1510 and allowing the all-in-one underwear
to be easily worn due to the pad 1520 provided on the inner surface
of the lower zipper.
[0044] Further, the inner fabric of the girdle portion 1300 is
eliminated at the hip portion, whereas the outer fabric of the
girdle portion 1300 is sewn with the hip portion maintained. That
is, the hip portion of the girdle portion 1300 is made by only one
piece of fabric, i.e. the outer fabric. The outer fabric having the
hip portion 1310 is composed of a pair of left and right sides.
When the pattern of the hip portion 1310 is manufactured, a portion
at which the pattern of the hip portion is connected to the spine
is cut by scissors and then is opened, so that an allowance is
provided to the pattern of the hip portion and it is
three-dimensionally remanufactured. Thereby, the fabric of the hip
portion is cut to receive the hip region while creating a
voluminous appearance, so that the hip portion 1310 is sewn along a
spinal line in such a way as to be gathered along with a rubber
band.
[0045] That is, the outer fabric having the hip portion 1310 is
composed of the pair of left and right sides, and the pattern of
the hip portion is made to be gathered, so that the all-in-one
underwear is formed in such a way as to be puffed up and provide
the three-dimensional effect.
[0046] Thus, the hip portion 1310 of the girdle portion 1300
provides the three-dimensional effect using a pair of pieces of
fabric for the hip portion 1310 without many patterns and seams,
thus creating a voluminous appearance and surrounding and
supporting the hips with little sewn portions when the all-in-one
underwear is worn, thereby affording comfortableness and an
aesthetic appearance.
[0047] Further, the all-in-one underwear 1000 of the present
invention is configured such that, among the entire back side
forming the waist slimming portion 1200 and the girdle portion
1300, only the hip portion 1310 and a back-side central portion
1210 of the waist slimming portion 1200 are made of one piece of
power net fabric and other portions are made of two pieces of power
net fabric having very high elasticity and restoring force.
[0048] Therefore, the portion made of the two pieces of power net
fabric having very high elasticity and restoring force surrounds
the entire back side and even the lower portion of the brassiere
portion 1100, thus allowing the outer fabric and the inner fabric
having high elasticity and restoring force to perfectly surround
the above-described portions, thereby preventing the flesh from
being bulged out through the armpit while pressing the flesh to
move the fat towards the breast, and moving the fat of the back to
be moved to the hip region and the breast region by the outer
fabric and the inner fabric having high elasticity and restoring
force, therefore enabling a wearer to have confidence in her back
appearance.
[0049] Of course, the all-in-one underwear of the present invention
may be configured such that a magnet is received in the waist
slimming portion 1200 or the girdle portion 1300, thus improving
blood circulation.
[0050] Another main feature of the present invention is as follows:
the armhole 1230 made of fabric which extends from the girdle
portion 1300 and the waist slimming portion 1200 to the shoulder is
provided with a sleeve 1400 which extends to the upper arm by a
predetermined length.
[0051] Therefore, the upper arm is pressed by the sleeve 1400 to
tighten the flab of the upper arm, thus making the style of
dressing good.
[0052] The sleeve 1400 is made of the power net fabric having very
high elasticity and restoring force in such a way as to extend from
the shoulder to the elbow and come into close contact with the
upper arm. The sleeve 1400 is configured such that, when the upper
arm from the shoulder to the elbow is divided into three portions,
a middle portion at which the biceps brachii of the arm are located
is made of double power net fabric having high elasticity and
restoring force as compared to the fabric for the shoulder and the
elbow. To this end, one piece of power net fabric 1410 is
added.
[0053] Therefore, the region at which the biceps brachii of the arm
are located can be more elastically pressed by the power net fabric
1410, thus causing the region at which the biceps brachii are
located to look slim and thereby offering a good style of
dressing.
[0054] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been
disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will
appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions
are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the
invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
