Description

[0001] The invention relates to trousers for providing an extended crotch area, wherein the trousers have at least one material, a front side, a back side, a waistband, at least partially two legs or a crotch adjacent to a respective inner side of the two legs, wherein a fastening means is arranged on the front side in and / or on the waistband and / or below the waistband, so that the trousers can be opened in a region of the fastening means and / or the waistband is stretchable.

[0002] Pants usually have a crotch seam where a center seam, which usually runs vertically downwards from the back waistband, around the crotch area and then vertically upwards again to the front waistband of the pants, intersects with an inside side seam, which connects the front and back of the legs on the inside. The disadvantage of this is that the crotch seam often makes the pants too tight in this area. This can lead to the continuous center seam cutting into the pubic area and the crack at the back between the buttocks. In addition, pressure, bruising and / or chafing of the skin and genitals in the crotch and / or perineum area can occur throughout the entire crotch area. The constriction in the crotch area can also cause the genitals to become visible through the fabric of the pants.

[0003] In men, a constricted crotch area can also cause testicular overheating, resulting in reduced sperm quality and, consequently, infertility. Furthermore, due to the cross seam and the typical cut of pants, men are unable to carry their penis and testicles in a natural hanging position. Instead, the cross seam and the front center seam displace them to the left or right of the center seam. This can also lead to testicular and / or penile torsion.

[0004] Due to the cross seam of conventional trousers and the resulting narrow crotch area, tension and / or pressure is exerted on the centre seam and / or a zipper running along the centre seam when moving, which can also lead to pressure and bruising of the lower abdomen.

[0005] To expand the crotch area, it's common practice in sewing to open the inner side seam on the thighs when there's enough fabric and reseal it further out, or to insert a gusset into the inner side seam of the thighs. This results in more pant material in the thigh area, but not in the actual perineum, genitals, and lower abdomen.

[0006] The object of the invention is to improve the state of the art.

[0007] The object is achieved by trousers having the features according to claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments of the trousers are described in the subclaims.

[0008] This creates pants that, thanks to the added material, provide more room in the crotch area, at least in and / or above the crotch, than conventional pants with a conventional seam cross. The added material allows for a targeted cut of the pants and thus more material in the area from the crotch up to, optionally, partially or completely up to the waistband, which better conforms to the male and / or female anatomy. This prevents pressure on, crushing, and / or chafing of the genitals and the skin in the crotch area.

[0009] In addition, it allows the male genitals to hang freely without being pushed or squeezed to the left and / or right sides. This prevents overheating of the testicles and subsequent damage, such as reduced sperm quality and / or infertility.

[0010] A key concept of the invention is to provide more trouser material to the right and left of the conventionally used center seam by adding more material, thus providing more space in the crotch area and optionally to the front and / or optionally in the pelvic and abdominal area located above it. Due to the larger dimension of the material allowance laterally, and thus essentially perpendicular to the conventional center seam, compared to the conventional area of ​​the usual seam cross in the crotch, the crotch area is expanded laterally. This lateral expansion eliminates the need for a constricting seam cross in the crotch.

[0011] Trousers can be any type of trousers, such as jeans, casual trousers, suit trousers, traditional trousers, leather trousers, riding pants, shorts, sports trousers, gym pants and / or similar. The trousers and therefore the leg length can be any length between a maximum of short and a maximum of long. The material allowance can in particular be the same material as the rest of the trousers or a different material. In principle, the trousers with the material allowance can also be made of a seamless material and / or in one piece or multiple pieces. The material allowance can also be an insert. The insert is in particular designed as a separate part and is sewn onto and / or into the rest of the trousers on the front. The insert is in particular connected to the rest of the trousers by means of a connecting seam or two connecting seams on the sides and / or with a seam on the waistband and / or with a lower holding seam on the legs.

[0012] Consequently, by adding material with a lower stay seam, the crotch area can be extended to the right and left sides of the conventional center seam and / or a center line of the pants. This allows the material allowance to be created in the form of a cup and / or sack, with the material allowance hanging and / or protruding forwards and / or downwards beyond the stay seam. This allows the male genitals in particular to be supported from below by the stay seam and, at the same time, to be accommodated more freely in the material allowance. The lower stay seam thus provides a transverse seam in the perineal area with a supporting function.

[0013] On the left and right sides of the material allowance, the material allowance can be sewn to the surrounding front part of the trousers with a connecting seam. The connecting seam preferably begins at the right and left ends of the lower stay seam.

[0014] This means that a vertical seam on the front of the pants is shifted laterally outwards to the right and left sides of the front section. As a result, a conventional center seam is not required, which means that the center seam does not cut into the skin and press on the genitals and / or genitals. It also prevents the genitals, in particular the scrotum, from being pushed back into the perineal area and crushed there. This design with connecting seams is particularly advantageous for the female anatomy, as the two connecting seams on the left and right are positioned outside the pubic area and therefore do not cut into and / or press in, unlike the conventional center seam of a seam cross. Optionally, the pants can also be made with a center seam, although this generally exerts less pressure than conventional pants due to the additional material and / or its bulging shape.In addition to a center seam, the trousers can also have one or more decorative seams. The center seam can also be a decorative seam.

[0015] Furthermore, a zipper doesn't have to be located at the center seam and may no longer have a supporting and / or constricting function. Instead, a fastening device, such as a zipper, can be located at one of the two side connecting seams or at both connecting seams. A fastening device can also be a row of buttons.

[0016] Due to the respective shape and course of the two side connecting seams, the dimensions and shape of the material allowance can be specifically adapted to the respective anatomy of the wearer of the trousers and the desired design of the trousers.

[0017] An inner insert placed inside the material allowance can hold the male genitals in particular and prevent them from slipping sideways inside the pants. The inner insert can, for example, be sewn all the way around as a separate, stretchable, single- and / or double-layered piece of fabric to accommodate and / or place the genitals, with and / or without underwear, in this fabric bag, thereby supporting their natural lying position.

[0018] The invention will be explained in more detail below using exemplary embodiments. Fig. 1 a schematic representation of trousers with a U-shaped material allowance widening towards the waistband in a front view, Fig. 2 a highly schematic representation of the trousers from Fig. 1 in side view, Fig. 3 a highly schematic representation of an alternative version of the trousers with a U-shaped material allowance and straight connecting seams in front view, Fig. 4 a highly schematic representation of another alternative of the trousers with an oval material allowance, Fig. 5 a highly schematic representation of another alternative of the trousers with a wedge-shaped material allowance, and Fig. 6 a highly schematic representation of another alternative of trousers with a material allowance that tapers conically from the waistband to the crotch.

[0019] A pair of trousers 101 has a front 103 and a back 104. At the top, the trousers 101 have a circumferential waistband on the front 103 and the back 104. Furthermore, the trousers 101 have a right leg 107 and a left leg 109 as well as trouser pockets 117 on both sides. The right leg 107 and the left leg 109 each have an inside leg 111, with the inside legs 111 converging at the crotch 113. On the front 103, a button 119 is arranged in the center of the openable waistband 105. Below the button 119, a slit facing 131 is arranged, which conceals a zipper. The slit facing 131 is sewn onto a material allowance 121, which extends directly from below the waistband 105 to the crotch 113 ( Fig. 1).

[0020] The material allowance 121 has a curved holding seam 127 at the bottom, which merges on both sides into a right connecting seam 123 and a left connecting seam 125, so that the trousers 101 have no vertical, continuous front seam. The right connecting seam 123 and the left connecting seam 125 are curved from the holding seam 127 up to the waistband 105, so that the material allowance 121 widens upwards to the waistband 105. The inside legs 111 of the right leg 107 and the left leg 109 are sewn at the right and left ends of the holding seam 127, respectively, so that a crotch 113 corresponding to the length of the holding seam 127 is formed.

[0021] Due to the holding seam 127 and the shape of the material allowance 121, the material allowance 121 protrudes both forwards and downwards over the holding seam 127 and thus allows a male genital ( Fig. 2).

[0022] In a Fig. In the alternative of the trousers 101 shown in Figure 3, the trousers 101 are designed in principle as described above. However, the material allowance 121 is U-shaped with a curved holding seam 127 at the crotch 113 and with connecting seams 123, 125 extending straight upwards to the waistband 105. In this alternative, the waistband 105 and the material allowance 121 have a center seam 125 that extends from the top of the waistband 105 to the crotch 113, with a slit facing 131 with a zipper arranged underneath being arranged at the center seam 115.

[0023] In another in Fig. In the alternative of the trousers 101 shown in Figure 4, the material allowance 121 is oval-shaped as an insert and on both sides of the oval-shaped material allowance 121, adjacent to the right connecting seam 123 and the left connecting seam 125, there is a slit facing 131 with a zipper arranged underneath and a button 119 above it on the waistband.

[0024] In another in Fig. In the alternative of the trousers 101 shown in Figure 5, the material allowance 121 has a curved holding seam 127 and a right connecting seam 123 and a left connecting seam 125, which are straight and taper upwards to the waistband 105 in a wedge shape to a center seam 115. The center seam 115 is continuous from the waistband 105 over the material allowance 121 to the lower holding seam 127. A slit facing 131 is partially arranged on the front side 103 and the material allowance 121 of the trousers 101.

[0025] In a further alternative of the trousers 101, which is preferably designed for a female wearer, the material allowance 121 has a short, straight holding seam 127, from which a right connecting seam 123 and a left connecting seam 125 are bent outwards on both sides to the waistband 105, so that the material allowance 121 widens conically ( Fig.6). This provides sufficient space both in the crotch 113 and at the hips thanks to the material allowance 121. The material allowance 121, in turn, has a continuous center seam 115, which extends across the entire material allowance 121 from the waistband 105 to the lower holding seam 127. Likewise, a slit facing 131 with a zipper located underneath is arranged on the material allowance 121.

[0026] Thus, pants 101 are provided with differently shaped and designed material allowances 121, which provide an extended crotch area and sufficient space depending on the anatomical shape of the wearer, without causing pressure, bruising, injuries or other consequential damage in the crotch 113 and above in the abdominal area.
