The disclosure relates to trouser assembles and more particularly pertains to a new trouser assembly for cushioning a groin of a wearer.
The prior art relates to trouser assemblies. Prior art trouser assemblies may comprise pants and reversibly attachable underpants, and pant having integral shock attenuators and cushioning materials.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising 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 is configured to cushion the groin from a vertical pressure applied thereto. The shorts are configured to protect skin from chafing and to absorb perspiration to prevent skin irritation.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
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:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
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
A liner 26 may be engaged to and positioned between the pad 24 and the pants 12, as shown in
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.
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.
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.
