Men's undergarment for running and relative method of production

Abstract

A men's undergarment (1) for miming or similar sports and a relative method of production are described. The undergarment is worn at least on one section of the chest, for covering at least the zone comprising the nipples of a user, and comprises at least one protection band (9) having an upper edge (2) and a lower edge (3). In its inner surface (5) to be worn into contact with the skin of the user, the undergarment comprises first non-slip means (6) and second non-slip means (7) respectively at or near at least sections of said upper edge (2) and said lower edge (3) and at least one intermediate portion (8) to cover the nipples of the user.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention concerns the field of sport garments and especially concerns a protective undergarment, especially for running or similar sports. The term running is to be understood as the practice of on-foot activities in general, running, jogging or walking.STATE OF THE ART[0002]Technical shirts used for running and on-foot activities in general are known, and are especially characterized for the fabrics with which they are made and for their cut, which must ensure a comfortable fit.[0003]In particular, such shirts are usually made of breathable fabrics, to ensure optimal comfort to the athlete while running. Such fabrics are generally made of synthetic fibers and have the function of ensuring that the moisture of the body goes through the shirt and is not restrained, thus decreasing the condensation of sweat and increasing the comfort of the garment.[0004]Moreover, such shirts have a cut, i.e. a shape, that must not be too adherent to the chest ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a garment for men to wear while running that solves problems associated with running without proper support for the nipples. This helps to prevent irritation and discomfort for the athlete during on-foot activities.

Problems solved by technology

Disadvantageously, however, such shirts, especially during the practice of sports activities that are particularly prolonged over time, such as running, walking or the like, can be the source of irritations, especially for male users, as a result of both for the type of fabric and cut.

In fact, it is found that the rubbing of the fabric of the shirt, wet with sweat, against the sensitive zones of the body and especially against the nipples, which are in direct contact with the shirt, causes irritations and redness on the skin; even assiduous runners are frequently subject to abrasions which can lead to bleeding phenomena of the sections subject to rubbing against the shirt and especially of the nipples.

This is due to the fact that the shirt moves while running, continuously rubbing the chest and in particular the nipples of the user, thus irritating the skin.

However, such solutions are not always sufficient or effective, especially when increasing the duration of the sports activities as a result of sweat, which can neutralize the effects of ointments, or cause band-aids to come off.

However, such solution has countless disadvantages.

First of all, the chest band being combined with the shirt, there is a risk that it can move during the sports activities, following the arm movements of the user, thus rubbing and irritating the nipples.

Moreover, always as a result of the movements, the chest band could move from the desired position, thus not carrying out its task.

Moreover, when participating at sports events, users often prefer to wear shirts connected to the event to which they are participating or to the sports teams to which they belong; thus a garment of the above described type is not always usable or anyhow considerably limits the possibility of choosing.

Moreover, since a walker can use different types of shirts depending on the climate, season or type of run to be done, the solution suggested by the documents mentioned above involves having a set of shirts, each provided with a respective protection band for protecting the nipples, with an increase in costs.
