DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(8) Referring to the drawings, there is shown in FIG. 1 a men's brief generally designated by the reference number 10 having a waistband 11 which may be provided with an elastic band in order to adjust the brief around the waist. The brief has a left opening 13 for inserting the left leg 15 of the wearer, and a right opening 17 for inserting the right leg 19 of the wearer. An opening 21 is formed into the middle of the brief through which tubular pocket 23 protrudes from the brief while the penis can be retained in said tubular pocket 23. A male fastener 25 is affixed at the outer tip of the tubular pocket 23 which can be fastened to any of the spaced apart female fasteners 27, 29, 31 attached outside the brief adjacent to the waistline as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

(9) When a person is engaged in certain sport activities, there is a tendency for the penis to impact on the genitals or internal part of the brief which can cause discomfort to the exerciser. The present brief permits the exerciser to prevent such impact by lifting the tubular pocket 23 upward and affixing the male fastener 25 to any of the female fasteners 27, 29, or 31 thus firmly fixing the position of the penis in order to avoid injury during exercise.

(10) Referring to FIG. 5 which is a schematic side view of the brief worn by an exerciser, there is shown the tubular pocket 23 protruded from the middle of the brief, and FIG. 6, a schematic side view of the brief shows the tubular pocket is lifted up and fastened to the female fastener 29.

(11) The brief described in this invention may be fabricated from the usual fabric generally used in the industry and the tubular pocket 23 may be made from the same material used in making the brief and preferably it is made from a stretchable material so as to accommodate different sizes. Also, while in the present invention male and female fasteners are used to affix the tubular pocket 23 to the brief, other fasteners such as snap in fasteners can be used to secure the tubular pocket 23 at the desired position. Thus, it can be seen that the brief described herein not only protects against impact during exercise and sports activities but it also improves the appearance as well.
