The disclosure and prior art relates to clothing assemblies and more particularly pertains to a new clothing assembly for performing actions without removing one's pants.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising trousers that are configured to couple to a user. The trousers cover a portion of a body of the user from a waist to proximate to ankles of the user. An opening is positioned in the trousers. The opening is configured to allow the user to perform actions, such as urinating, defecating and personal hygiene maneuvers, whilst the trousers are coupled to the user. A first panel, which is complementary to the opening, is coupled to the trousers proximate to a second end of the opening. The first panel also is reversibly couplable to the trousers to selectively close the opening.
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
The assembly 10 comprises a first panel 26 that is complementary to the opening 14. The first panel 26 is coupled to the trousers 12 proximate to the second end 22 of the opening 14. The first panel 26 also is reversibly couplable to the trousers 12 to selectively close the opening 14.
A first fastener 28 is coupled to the first panel 26 adjacent to a perimeter 30 of the first panel 26. A second fastener 32 is coupled to the trousers 12 adjacent to a circumference 34 of the opening 14. The second fastener 32 is complementary to the first fastener 28. The second fastener 32 is positioned to reversibly couple to the first fastener 28 to selectively couple the first panel 26 to the trousers 12 to close the opening 14. In one embodiment, the first fastener 28 and the second fastener 32 comprise a plurality of zippers 36. In another embodiment, the plurality of zippers 36 comprises two zippers 36. In yet another embodiment, the zippers 36 open from the first end 16 to the second end 22 of the first panel 26.
In one embodiment, the assembly 10 comprises a second panel 38. The second panel 38 is reversibly couplable to an inner face 40 of the first panel 26. The second panel 38 is configured to line the first panel 26 so that the second panel 38 is positioned between the first panel 26 and the body of the user. In another embodiment, the second panel 38 is shaped complementarily to the first panel 26. In yet another embodiment, the second panel 38 is dimensionally smaller that the first panel 26. In still yet another embodiment, the second panel 38 comprises cloth.
A plurality of first couplers 42 is coupled to the first panel 26. A plurality of second couplers 44 is coupled to the second panel 38. The second couplers 44 are complementary to the first couplers 42. The second couplers 44 are positioned to couple to the first couplers 42 to selectively couple the second panel 38 to the first panel 26. In one embodiment, each first coupler 42 and a respective second coupler 44 comprise a hook and loop fastener 46. In another embodiment, the plurality of first couplers 42 comprises four first couplers 42 that are positioned singly proximate to each corner 48 of the first panel 26.
In one embodiment, the assembly 10 comprises a shirt 50 that is configured to couple to the user. The shirt 50 covers a portion of the body of the user from the waist to proximate a neck of the user. The shirt 50 comprises an upper section 52 and a lower section 54. The lower section 54 is permeable to air and moisture so that the lower section 54 is breathable. A brazier 56 is coupled to an interior 58 of the shirt 50. The brazier 56 is configured to support breasts of the user when the shirt 50 is coupled to the body of the user.
In use, the opening 14 is configured to perform actions, such as urinating, defecating and personal hygiene maneuvers, whilst the trousers 12 are coupled to the user. The second couplers 44 are positioned to couple to the first couplers 42 to selectively couple the second panel 38 to the first panel 26. The second panel 38 is configured to line the first panel 26 and is positioned between the first panel 26 and the body of the user. The second fastener 32 is positioned to reversibly couple to the first fastener 28 to selectively couple the first panel 26 to the trousers 12 to close the opening 14. The brazier 56 is configured to support the breasts of the user when the shirt 50 is coupled to the body of the user.
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 element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
