FUNCTIONAL BRIEFS FOR MEN

Abstract

The present invention relates to functional briefs for men with an improved fit while providing a comfortable wearing environment by separating the penis and scrotum, the functional briefs being characterized by comprising: a pair of left and right penis members; a pair of left and right scrotum members; a pair of left and right front members coupled with the penis member and the scrotum member and having a horizontal front-portion upper end line extending outward by means of a penis-portion outer line and a scrotum-portion outer line being sewn parallelly along a front-portion inner line; and a band member sewn along a penis-portion upper end line and the front-portion upper end line in a state in which each penis-portion upper end line of the pair of left and right penis members is rotated horizontally to form a straight line with the front-portion upper end line. As a result, a pattern having an improved shape is implemented, and thus, sewing is easy and a defect rate of products can be greatly reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] As illustrated in FIG. 3, functional briefs for men according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be disassembled into pattern units. Further, the functional briefs for men are formed by combining the patterns that are a pair of left and right penis members 320, a pair of left and right scrotum members 330, a pair of left and right front members 310, and a pair of left and right rear members 340.

[0021] Referring to FIG. 4, the penis member 320 includes: a penis-portion outer line 321 formed in a concave circular arc shape; a penis-portion inner line 322 formed in a circular arc shape convex inwardly by facing the penis-portion outer line 321; a penis-portion upper end line 323 inclined outward and downward; and a penis-portion lower end line 324 extending to traverse generally in a left-right direction between an inside and an outside thereof.

[0022] The scrotum member 330 includes: a scrotum-portion outer line 331 formed in a concave circular arc shape connected continuously from a lower end of the penis-portion outer line 321; a scrotum-portion inner line 332 formed in a circular arc shape convex inwardly by facing the scrotum-portion outer line 331; a scrotum-portion upper end line 333 sewn to the penis-portion lower end line 324; and a scrotum-portion lower end line 334 extending to traverse generally in an up-down direction between an inside and an outside thereof.

[0023] At this time, as illustrated in drawings, a width of the penis-portion lower end line 324 is slightly narrower than a width of the scrotum-portion upper end line 333. Therefore, when the penis-portion lower end line 324 and the scrotum-portion upper end line 333 are sewn to each other, the penis-portion lower end line 324 is stretched to be in a state in which the penis-portion lower end line 324 is to coincide with the scrotum-portion upper end line 333, and are sewn to each other. Consequently, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the scrotum-portion upper end line 333 is corrugated along a seam line L. Therefore, elasticity of a scrotum pocket may be greatly increased, so that a scrotum that repeats expansion and contraction depending on surrounding environment or physiological phenomenon is appropriately accommodated in the scrotum pocket.

[0024] Referring to FIG. 3, the front member 310 includes: a front-portion inner line 311 formed in a concave circular arc shape coinciding with both the penis-portion outer line (reference numeral of 321 in FIG. 4) and the scrotum-portion outer line 331; and a horizontal front-portion upper end line 312 extending from an upper end of the front-portion inner line 311 to the outward.

[0025] The front member 310 is sewn parallelly to and coinciding with the penis-portion outer line 321 and the scrotum-portion outer line 331 along the front-portion inner line 311, thereby coupling to the penis member 320 and the scrotum member 330 that are positioned at an inward position. Then, the penis-portion upper end line 323 of the penis member 320 is horizontally rotated so as to be in a state of being aligned with the front-portion upper end line 312 so that a straight line is formed, and a band member is sewn along the straight line, as illustrated in FIG. 5. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the band member 350 is also sewn to a rear-portion upper end line 341 of the rear member (reference numeral of 340 in FIG. 3), in which the rear-portion upper end line 341 extends horizontally along the front-portion upper end line 312.

[0026] As described above, by horizontally sewing the penis-portion upper end line 323 inclined outward to the band member 350 by slightly rotating the penis-portion upper end line 323 inward, a penis pocket (reference numeral of 460 in FIG. 6) by the penis member 320 may be formed.

[0027] At this time, when the band member 350 is horizontally sewn while in a state in which the front-portion inner line (reference numeral of 311 in FIG. 3) formed in the circular arc shape, the penis-portion outer line 321 connected in the circular arc shape coinciding with the front-portion inner line 311, and the scrotum-portion outer line 331 are sewn to each other, the front-portion inner line 311 or the penis-portion outer line 321 and the scrotum-portion outer line 331 sewn to each other is transformed almost linearly as illustrated in FIG. 5. Further, due to such a transformation of a line (that is, a transformation from a round to a straight line), a tensile force as an upper end portion and a lower end portion of the front-portion inner line 311 move outward acts on an upper end portion of the penis member 320 and a lower end portion of the scrotum member 330 in corresponding regions, thereby contributing to form the penis pocket 460 and a scrotum pocket 470 as illustrated in FIG. 6 as a result.

[0028] In FIG. 4, in both the penis-portion outer line 321 and the penis-portion inner line 322 of the penis member 320 that are each formed in the circular arc shape, a width W1 formed by connecting each center point thereof is the widest and a width becomes narrower as each point thereof is moved toward the upper end thereof and the lower end thereof. Further, each of the penis-portion outer line 321 and the penis-portion inner line 322 forms a straight line as each point thereof is moved to an upper end point thereof and a lower end point thereof, and forms a curved line with the smallest radius of curvature at the center point thereof.

[0029] In both the scrotum-portion outer line 331 and the scrotum-portion inner line 332 of the scrotum member 330 that are each formed in the circular arc shape, a width W2 between each center point thereof is the widest, and a width between the scrotum-portion outer line 331 and the scrotum-portion inner line 332 becomes narrower as each point thereof is moved toward the upper end thereof and the lower end thereof.

[0030] The upper end and the lower end of both penis member 320 and the scrotum member 330 is tensioned by the front-portion inner line 311 transformed linearly or the penis-portion outer line 321 and the scrotum-portion outer line 331, and the seam line L forming upper and lower boundary in the middle portion of the penis member 320 and the scrotum member 330 forms the shape of both the penis member 320 and the scrotum member 330. Therefore, when the sewing is completed as briefs that are illustrated in FIG. 5, these shapes of both the penis member 320 and the scrotum member 330 contribute to realize the penis pocket 460 and the scrotum pocket 470 that are the completed form.

[0031] The scrotum-portion lower line 334 of the scrotum member 330 illustrated in FIG. 4 is sewn to an outer lower end line 342 of the rear member 340 together with a front-portion inner lower end line 313 of the front member (reference numeral of 310 in FIG. 3) (see FIG. 5). That is, a length of the outer lower end line 342 of the rear member 340 is equal to the sum of a length of the scrotum-portion lower line 334 and a length of the front-portion inner lower end line 313.

[0032] In FIG. 3, the rear member 340 is sewn such that a rear-portion inner line 343 facing the outer lower end line 342 coincides with the front-portion outer line 314.

[0033] The functional briefs for men described above are only an embodiment to help the understanding of the present disclosure, and thus the scope of the present disclosure should not be understood as being limited to the above description.

[0034] The scope or technical scope of the present disclosure is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
