Lined and padded trouser assembly

Abstract

A lined and padded trouser assembly for cushioning a groin of a wearer includes a pair of pants having a pair of shorts positioned therein and engaged thereto. A waistband of the shorts is substantially aligned with a waistband of the pants. A pad is engaged to and positioned between the pants and the shorts so that the pad is positioned over a groin of a user upon donning the pants. The pad cushions the groin from a vertical pressure applied thereto. The shorts protect skin from chafing and absorb perspiration to prevent skin irritation.

(1) The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:

(2) FIG. 1 is an isometric perspective view of a lined and padded trouser assembly according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

(3) FIG. 2 is a rear inside-out view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

(4) FIG. 3 is a front inside-out view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

(5) FIG. 4 is a bottom inside-out view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

(6) FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(7) With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, a new trouser assembly embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

(8) As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the lined and padded trouser assembly 10 generally comprises a pair of pants 12 having a pair of shorts 14 positioned therein and engaged thereto. A waistband 16 of the shorts 14 is substantially aligned with a waistband 18 of the pants 12. The shorts 14 have a slit 20 positioned therein, which is aligned with a fly 22 of the pants 12. The pants 12 comprise denim or dungaree cloth. The shorts 14 are resiliently stretchable and comprise polyether-polyurea copolymer, 1,3-propanediol-terephthalic acid copolymer, or 1,3-propanediol-dimethyl terephthalate copolymer.

(9) A pad 24 is engaged to and positioned between the pants 12 and the shorts 14 so that the pad 24 is positioned over a groin of a user upon donning the pants 12. The pad 24 is configured to cushion the groin from a vertical pressure applied thereto. The shorts 14 are configured to protect skin from chafing and to absorb perspiration to prevent skin irritation. The pad 24 comprises gel, cotton, or foam. The pad 24 may be substantially elongated hourglass shaped, as shown in FIG. 4, or may alternatively shaped, such as, but not limited to, elongated ovally shaped, rectangularly shaped, and the like, with a limitation that the pad 24 substantially cover the groin of user upon donning the pants 12.

(10) A liner 26 may be engaged to and positioned between the pad 24 and the pants 12, as shown in FIG. 5. The liner 26 comprises polyether-polyurea copolymer, 1,3-propanediol-terephthalic acid copolymer, or 1,3-propanediol-dimethyl terephthalate copolymer.

(11) In use, the pants 12 are donned by the user when anticipating performance of an activity that could apply pressure to the groin of the user, such as riding of a motorcycle, bicycle, or horse. The pad 24 cushions the groin from a vertical pressure applied thereto. The shorts 14 protect skin from chafing and absorb perspiration to prevent skin irritation.

(12) With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

(13) Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the elements is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
