Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to shorts with continuous zippers running along the legs and over the waistband, as well as side closures on the waistband, which allow the legs and waistband to be fully opened and closed. State of the art

[0002] Standard shorts, such as swim trunks, beach shorts, gym shorts, or Bermuda shorts, typically have two closed knee-length or three-quarter-length legs, optionally an inner mesh lining or liner, and a fully enclosed waistband. They are put on and taken off solely by inserting the feet and legs through the waistband. Even versions with side zippers that open partially to the waistband do not allow for complete opening of the waistband and the inner mesh lining or liner, so getting in and out of the shorts by pulling the legs up is still necessary. Object of the invention

[0003] The object of the invention is therefore to design shorts in such a way that they can be put on and taken off without having to guide the legs or feet through the trouser legs and waistband as well as the inner mesh or lining. Solution to the task

[0004] This problem is solved by shorts according to claim 1, featuring continuous zippers running along both legs and over the waistband, as well as side closure tabs at the waistband that allow for additional adjustment of the waistband. The zippers enable the legs to be completely opened, so that the front and back of the shorts are connected only by the inner mesh lining. Accordingly, the legs of the shorts can be closed again by fastening the side closure tabs at the waistband and the zippers, and the shorts can be put on without having to thread the feet through the waistband and the inner mesh lining. Advantages of the invention

[0005] The shorts according to the invention make it easier to put on and take off while standing, without having to lift the legs or pull them through the legs. This makes dressing and undressing particularly easy for people with limited mobility. Shoes also do not need to be removed when dressing or undressing. When undressing barefoot outdoors, e.g., while standing, no dirt, e.g., sand, gets onto or into the shorts via the feet. In addition, the side fastening tabs allow the waistband to be adjusted when the zippers or legs are open, and the ends of the zippers are visually concealed at the waistband when the zippers or legs are closed.

[0006] Therefore, when putting on the shorts, simply thread them between your legs, pull them up against your body from the front and back, adjust the waistband at the sides, and close the legs with the two zippers. When taking them off, first open the side zippers, while the side zippers at the waistband hold the shorts in place. After releasing the side zippers, the garment can simply be pulled off forward, backward, or downward. Example of implementation

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the zippers (1) extend vertically upwards from the lower hem (3) of the trouser legs to or through the waistband (2). The zipper flaps overlap from front to back and are attached to the back of the waistband with hook-and-loop fasteners. The inner mesh (5) connects the front and back sections only in the area of ​​the waistband. Character description Fig. 1: Left side view of the shorts with the zipper partially closed.
