Benefits of technology

[0018] It is a still further object of the invention to provide an addition to the lower portion of a shirt or else adjacent to the shirt which counteracts the usual working of the bottom of the shirt out of lower body garments which are worn over the shirt.
[0020] It is a still further object of the invention to provide a method of preventing shirts from becoming untucked comprising attaching between a fabric section that is desired to be maintained substantially in position with respect to another fabric section when the two are pressed together a collection of angled fibers between the two sections.

Problems solved by technology

An embarrassing problem is faced when a shirt rides up out of one's trousers or slacks or becomes un-tucked.
This situation leaves the wearer looking unkempt and messy.
However, the longer a person engages in activity, such as physical activity or even merely fidgeting in ones seat or getting up and down, the more such persons shirt or the like tend to become un-tucked.
While there have been previous developments or technologies, therefore, for keeping shirts tucked and neat, most of the prior art technologies have required mechanical modifications or adjuncts which have interfered in one way or another with the normal use and comfort of the clothing.

Embodiment Construction

[0029] Having ones shirt or blouse gradually, or in some case relatively rapidly, pull out of ones trousers, slacks, skirt or kilts is a common experience. The rapidity of movement of such upper garment out of close or snug engagement with the lower garment depends to a large extent upon how much movement is made by the wearer of the garments. Thus, if one is engaged in athletics or is doing a lot of getting in and out of vehicles such as engaged in by deliverymen or policemen and, especially if one is frequently reaching upwardly placing tension on the upper portions of ones shirt or blouse the movement of ones shirt or blouse or the like upwardly out of a tucked position in ones lower garment may be relatively rapid or, indeed, in some cases, essentially instantaneous. However, if one sits or stands quietly with very little movement, the gradual movement upward of ones shirt may be relatively slow and, as a result, relatively little retucking of one's upper garment into ones lower...

Abstract

A system for keeping a shirt tucked-in to a pair of pants involving a special nap which when mounted in place between the shirt and pants dynamically urges the shirt into the pants as a result of some of the same movements that ordinarily causes a shirt to become untucked.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application takes priority from U.S. Provisional Application 60 / 580,344 filed Jun. 16, 2004 in the name of Richard A. Hamlet.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] This invention relates to improvements in clothes and more particularly to maintaining several items of clothing arranged properly with respect to each other during wearing of such items and more particularly still to maintaining shirts and blouses and the like “tucked in” or otherwise correctly or conventionally arranged with respect to trousers, slacks, skirts or the like. [0004] 2. Preliminary Discussion [0005] When shirts, shirtwaists and the like are worn with their bottom or lower portions extending under, or tucked under, or inside a pair of trousers, slacks or a skirt, such shirt or the like will frequently as the wearer moves tend to work out of its tucked position until there is more than enough of the material of the shirt or shirtwaist above the top ...
