[0046] Now referring to FIGS. 2, 2A and 2B, to illustrates various views of the wearable articles 1000. For example, FIGS. 2 and 2A, respectively, illustrate a cross-sectional and close-up view of the wearable article 1000 resting over a skin, and FIG. 2B illustrates a front perspective view of the wearable article 1000, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. FIGS. 2, 2A and 2B will be described herein in conjunction with FIG. 1. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the curved profile 300 of the inner surface 210 may have a curvature. Such curvature may, in one example embodiment, be between a range of about 33 degrees to about 35 degrees. In one another example embodiment, the curved profile 300 of the inner surface 210 may have the curvature between a range of 33.2 degrees to 34.5 degree. The inner surface 210 with the curved profile 300 may include an inner curvature line 500 due to such curvature in a middle portion of the inner surface 210 of the wearable article 1000, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B. The inner curvature line 500 in the middle portion of the inner surface 210 may be the only region configured to be in contact with the skin, when the user wears the wearable article 1000 over the skin.

[0047] As described above, both the inner surface 210 and the outer surface includes the curved profile 300 to define the elliptical profile of the wearable article 1000 along a cross-section thereof. More specifically, in such embodiment, the opposite circular edges 110,120 along with the inner surface 210 and the outer surface 220 define the elliptical profile of the wearable article 1000 along a cross-section thereof. Further, also described above, the inner surface 210 includes the curved profile 300 while the outer surface includes flat profile to define the semi-circular profile of the wearable article 1000 along the cross-section thereof. More specifically, in such embodiment, the opposite circular edges 110,120 along with the inner surface 210 and the outer surface 220 define the semi-circular profile of the wearable article 1000 along a cross-section thereof.

[0048] As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 2A, upon wearing the wearable article 1000, the inner curvature line 500 in the middle portion of the inner surface 210 comes into the contact of the skin of the user, whereas the rest of the region of the inner surface 210 of the wearable article 1000 may be open to come into the contact of the air. More specifically the region of the inner curvature line 500 may rest on the skin of the user while the rest of the region on the left and right of the inner curvature line 500 of the curved profile 300 of the inner surface 210 may not touch the skin. This in turn creates a gap 510 between the opposite circular edges 110,120 and the skin of the user. The gap 510 may allow air to come into the contact of the inner surface 210 of the wearable article 1000.

[0049] Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the wearable article 1000 also includes the plurality of aeration vent 400 along the inner surface 210. The plurality of aeration vent 400 may be grooved along the inner surface 210.

[0050] Referring to FIGS. 3A and 3B, a close-up view of the inner surface 210 having the plurality of aeration vent 400 in the wearable article 1000 is depicted, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and will now be described herein in conjunction with FIGS. 1 to 2B. FIG. 3A depicts the curved profile 300 that may extend along the width between the opposite circular edges 110,120. The plurality of aeration vent 400 may be grooved along the curved profile 300 of the inner surface 210 of the wearable article 1000. The plurality of aeration vent 400 may be grooved in such a manner that aeration vent 400 extends along the width between the opposite circular edges 110,120 of the wearable article 1000. The extension of aeration vent 400 along the width between the opposite circular edges 110,120 may create an aeration path between the skin and the wearable article 1000. The aeration path between the skin and the wearable article 1000 may enable aeration between the skin and the wearable article 1000. Such aeration restraints excess dryness or excess moisture of the skin upon wearing the wearable article 1000.

[0051] In one embodiment, the plurality of aeration vent 400 may be of a X-shaped profile extending between the opposite circular edges 110,120 along the inner surface of the wearable article 1000. Such X-shaped profile may be in continuous pattern along the inner surface of the wearable article 1000. However, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, one example embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 3B, the plurality of aeration vent 400 grooved along the curved profile 300 of the inner surface 210 may be of different pattern, such as sinusoidal pattern.

[0052] The curved profile 300 extending up to the opposite edges 110,120 that results the formation of the gap 510 along with the aeration vent 400 on the inner surface 200 may create the aeration path between the skin and the wearable article 1000. The aeration path between the skin and the wearable article 1000 may enable aeration between the skin and the wearable article 1000. Specifically, the gap 510 formed due to the curvature between the range of 33 degrees to 35 degrees of the curved profile 300 may facilitate air to come into the contact of the inner surface 210, whereas the plurality of X-shaped aeration vent 400 facilitates the air to pass through the opposite circular edges 110,120 of the wearable article 1000. In various embodiment, any fluid, such as liquid like water, oil, or air may pass through the aeration path created by the combination arrangement of the gap 510 (created by the opposite circular edges 110,120 of the wearable article 1000) and the aeration vent 400.

[0053] As shown in FIG. 4, a user wearing the wearable article 1000 over the skin. The wearable article 1000 may provide aeration across the wearable article during hand movement. When a user wearing the wearable article 1000 move his/her hand in the surrounding, the surrounding air is bound to travel from the one circular edge 110 to the other circular edge 120 (i.e. along the gap 510). The plurality of aeration vent 400 grooved along the inner surface 210 may provide easy passage from one circular edge 110 to the other circular edge 120 of the wearable article 1000.

[0054] Now referring to FIGS. 5A and 5B, a diagram depicting different form of the wearable article 1000 is shown in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. FIGS. 5A and 5B will now be described in conjunction with FIGS. 1 to 4. The wearable article 1000 may be of different shape, size and design without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. In one example embodiment, the wearable article may be a one-piece wearable article having opposing ends seamlessly joined to each other as shown in FIG. 1A. Specifically, referring to FIG. 5A, the wearable article 1000 may be a wearable article having opposing ends 520,530 spaced from each other. In one example embodiment, the wearable article 1000 may be a multi-piece 610,620 wearable article coupled to form the wearable article 1000, as shown in FIG. 5B.

[0055] The wearable article 1000 may involve a method of aeration between a wearable article 1000 and a skin of a user wearing the wearable article 1000. The method may include creating an aeration path between the skin and the wearable article 1000 as described above and excluded herein from description for the sake of brevity of the disclosure. The aeration path between the skin and the wearable article 1000 may enable aeration between the skin and the wearable article 1000.

[0056] The wearable article 1000 along with aeration capability across the opposite circular edges 110,120 may involve a method of making.
