Combination of an undershirt and a four-cornered garment with fringes

Abstract

The present invention provides an undershirt provided with means for releasable attachment thereto of a component of a four-cornered garment with fringes as well as providing a four-cornered garment with fringes having a releasable attachment means for attachment thereof to a garment.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to a garment with releasable attachment of a four-cornered garment with fringes as well as to a four-cornered garment with fringes with a releasable attachment means to a garment.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Over thousands of years, observant Jewish males wear a four-cornered fringed garment, known as “Tzitzit” [Heb. Literally, fringe], “Tzitziot” [Heb. Literally, fringes] or “Tallit katan” [Heb. Literally, little garment].[0003]In accordance with Biblical Law, every garment having four corners can be worn by a Jewish male only if there are attached to each corner thereof a fringe. The fringe has a predefined number of knots and threads.[0004]The Jewish Law or halakah, requires males aged 13 and over to wear such a garment during the day. Likewise young boys wear Tzitziot so as to accustom them to this Law.[0005]A further requirement of the Jewish Law is that after putting on the Tzitziot or fringed garment, the...

Benefits of technology

[0040]'651 teaches eyelets in an outer garment adapted to allow the passage of the fringes therethrough from an inner garment for users who wish to display the tzitziot (four cornered garment with fringes) of their inner garment externally to their clothes. The present invention, in contrast teaches the passage of the fringes through loops provided on a specially designed undershirt worn under the tzitziot to assist in limiting the relative movement of the four-cornered garment relative thereto.

[0045]In a first embodiment of the present invention, press studs are used for connecting between the fringed garment and the undershirt as follows: Under the right shoulder in a front portion of the fringed garment, there is a male press stud with a protrusion sticks out and on the rear side of the garment, there is a female press stud with a hole designed to press-fit, click-fit or snap-fit with the male press stud. A number of pairs of press studs may be disposed on the underside of the fringed garment and on the upper side of the undershirt to reduce the degrees of freedom of movement of the fringed garment relative to the undershirt.

[0046]By correct choice of the number and location of the press studs or other connecting means, the fringed garment may be well connected to the undershirt to provide reduced movement of the fringed garment relative to the undershirt, as well as reduced movement of the fringed garment, relative to the movements of the wearer thereof.

[0050]Thus, the apertures allow for the passing of one or more fringes of the fringed garment to a substantially fixed position on the undershirt. This arrangement allows for the spatial affixing of the fringed garment on the undershirt.

Problems solved by technology

Most importantly, they are not secured in place on the body and tend to move around on the body, both causing discomfort to the wearer and providing an untidy appearance.
