Problems solved by technology

Trousers such as rugged jeans typically have relatively heavy seams, and the seams crossing at the crotch portion of the trousers can cause discomfort particularly to women who for appearances may prefer not to wear undergarments so as to avoid unsightly “panty lines”.
However, for reasons of fit it is sometimes desirable not to launder rugged trousers at the same frequency as it is typically desired to launder underwear.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]FIG. 1 shows a soft, flexible, typically although not necessarily double layer fabric pad-like liner 10 with four rounded wings 12 arranged in a generally cruciform shape, with each wing 12 flaring slightly out from its rounded end 14 toward a center junction 16 of the liner where all wings 12 merge. As shown, each wing 12 has generally linear sides 18 extending from the rounded end 14 of the wing 12 toward the center junction 16. With the generally cruciform-like shape in mind, the bottom wing 12a may be longer than the other wings as shown, although in other embodiments the liner may be a single layer of fabric and / or have wings of substantially equal length.

[0014]As shown in FIG. 1, each of the four rounded ends 14 includes a respective attachment element 20 that removably holds the liner 10 to an article of clothing, such as jeans or other garment with a crotch seam. In FIG. 1 there exist only four attachment elements 20; however, additional attachment sites may be provide...

Abstract

A soft, flexible, double layer fabric pad-like liner has four rounded wings arranged in a generally cruciform shape. Each wing includes an attachment element that registers with a complementary attachment element on respective seams of a garment to removably engage the liner with the garment over the seams.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to removable liners for covering the inside crotch seams of trousers such as jeans.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Trousers such as rugged jeans typically have relatively heavy seams, and the seams crossing at the crotch portion of the trousers can cause discomfort particularly to women who for appearances may prefer not to wear undergarments so as to avoid unsightly “panty lines”.[0003]Simply covering the crotch seams with permanent fabric in turn means that every time the fabric, which functions as de facto underwear, requires laundering, the entire trousers must be laundered. However, for reasons of fit it is sometimes desirable not to launder rugged trousers at the same frequency as it is typically desired to launder underwear.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]A device for covering interior seams of a garment has a liner that includes four rounded wings arranged in a generally cruciform shape. Each wing flares slig...
