Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to men's underwear that provides measures to prevent phimosis and urinary incontinence, but has a simple structure that uses as few additional parts as possible, something that cannot be achieved with conventional bikini-style underwear such as briefs or boxer shorts, and that does not compress the scrotum and prevents contact between the glans and central part of the penis. [Background technology]

[0002] In conventional briefs, bikini, or boxer-style underwear, the penis and scrotum are covered with a single piece of fabric that compresses them. Because the scrotum is contained in the same space as the penis, these underwear items can easily come into contact with the glans or central part of the penis when the user changes posture, causing discomfort due to sweating or sticking. While there are inventions that address how to separate the penis, there is no precedent for an invention that effectively separates the scrotum with a simple structure. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-153396 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-224971 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-71006 [Patent Document 4] Utility Model Registration No. 3207314 [Patent Document 5] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2024-054814 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the men's underwear described in Patent Document 1, the fabric forming the storage pocket is sewn to the base of the underwear. Also, even though it can be separated from the leg part, the penis and scrotum are in contact with each other and cannot be separated.

[0005] In the men's underwear described in Patent Document 2, the scrotum comes into contact with the legs and trousers. Therefore, when wearing trousers made of a stiff material such as jeans, if the inside of the trousers rubs against the scrotum when changing posture, such as sitting down, this can cause discomfort or pain to the wearer.

[0006] The men's underwear described in Patent Document 3 is designed to use a separate annular belt as a storage area for the scrotum. Because this annular belt is held in place on one side of the inside of the underwear, the end of the annular belt on the unsupported side of the scrotum base is likely to droop. Furthermore, if the annular belt is made of a stretchy material, the annular belt on the side fixed to the underwear will stretch due to the weight of the penis, so it is thought that the penis and scrotum can only be separated for a short time, for example, when sitting or exercising, such as running.

[0007] The men's underwear described in Patent Document 4 has an upper arc-shaped pocket as a storage space for the penis and a scrotum pocket as a storage space for the scrotum, but because there is an upper band woven surface and a lower band woven surface, the two pockets press the penis and scrotum so that they fit closely to the body.

[0008] The men's underwear described in Patent Document 5 above relates to men's underwear that reduces the discomfort caused by the foreskin covering the glans, and is suitable for men with true phimosis or pseudo-phimosis. The penis and scrotum are exposed through the same oval opening at the bottom front of the underwear body, and separation of the penis and scrotum requires the use of a penis fixation support appliance. For this reason, with this underwear configuration, only those using the penis fixation support appliance can separate the penis and scrotum.

[0009] Therefore, in this invention, the scrotal pocket is integrated with the underwear body, but by dropping the scrotum downward from the upper opening of the scrotal pocket and surrounding the sides of the scrotum, we provide comfortable men's underwear that can be worn without the glans or central part of the penis coming into close contact with the scrotum.

[0010] Furthermore, in addition to the scrotal pocket, the present invention provides men's underwear that is configured to more reliably prevent direct contact between the glans and central part of the penis and the scrotum by providing an opening at the lower front of the underwear body that allows the penis to pass from the inside of the underwear to the outside of the underwear when worn.

[0011] Furthermore, the present invention provides men's underwear that can be fitted with a penis fixing support device for phimosis correction as needed, while still maintaining a configuration that more reliably prevents direct contact between the glans and central parts of the penis and the scrotum.

[0012] Furthermore, the present invention provides men's underwear that makes it easy to prevent urinary incontinence by ensuring a space for a water-absorbing material inside the male genital covering cloth that covers only the penis or the male genital covering cloth that covers the penis and scrotum. [Means for solving the problem]

[0013] To achieve the above object, the men's underwear according to the first aspect of the present invention is configured with a scrotal pocket at the bottom of the underwear body, with openings on both the top and bottom of the portion that accommodates the penis. The scrotal pocket is either cylindrical with the same diameter from the top to the bottom of the portion that accommodates the penis, or sleeve-like with the bottom wider than the top, or sleeve-like with the top wider than the bottom, or a shape that combines the above cylindrical and sleeve-like shapes between the top opening and the bottom opening.

[0014] The men's underwear according to the second aspect of the present invention comprises an opening at the lower front of the underwear body for allowing the penis to pass from the inside to the outside of the underwear when worn, a male genitalia cover cloth that covers only the penis or the penis and scrotum, and a scrotal pocket at the bottom of the underwear body with openings on both the top and bottom of the part that houses the penis. The scrotal pocket is either cylindrical with the same diameter from the top to the bottom of the part that houses the penis, or sleeve-like with the bottom wider than the top, or sleeve-like with the top wider than the bottom, or a shape that combines the cylindrical and sleeve-like shapes between the top opening and the bottom opening.

[0015] Furthermore, the male underwear according to the third aspect of the present invention is configured to include an opening at the lower front of the underwear main body for allowing the penis to pass from the inside of the underwear to the outside of the underwear when the underwear is being worn, a male genitalia cover cloth that covers only the penis or that covers the penis and scrotum, a penis fixation support device with a replaceable penis fixation member that is detachable from the underwear main body, and a scrotal pocket at the bottom of the underwear main body that has openings on both the top and bottom of the part that contains the penis. The penis fixation support device is composed of: a first penis fixation member that fixes the lower part of the glans penis at two points; a second penis fixation member that fixes the central part of the penis at two points; a first stretchable rubber member that maintains a state in which the first penis fixation member is pulled towards the body; a second stretchable rubber member that maintains a state in which the second penis fixation member is pulled towards the body; a first fastener that is attached to the upper part of the outer periphery of the opening and fastens the first stretchable rubber member at two points; and a second fastener that is attached to the upper part of the outer periphery of the opening and fastens the second stretchable rubber member at two points. The scrotal pocket is either cylindrical with the same diameter from the top to the bottom of the part that accommodates the penis, or sleeve-like with the bottom wider than the top, or sleeve-like with the top wider than the bottom, or a shape that combines the cylindrical and sleeve shapes between the upper opening and the lower opening.

[0016] Furthermore, the male underwear according to the fourth aspect of the present invention is either one of the second and third aspects of the present invention, and is configured such that a distance of 1 cm or more and 5 cm or less is provided from the bottom surface of the inside of the male genital covering cloth that covers only the penis or the male genital covering cloth that covers the penis and scrotum to the bottom of the penis so that a water-absorbent material can be provided on the inside of the male genital covering cloth that covers only the penis. [Effects of the Invention]

[0017] According to the first invention, a scrotal pocket that is cylindrical, sleeve-shaped, or a combination of cylindrical and sleeve-shaped pockets is provided at the bottom of the underwear to accommodate the scrotum. By surrounding the sides of the scrotum, the pocket provides a comfortable hold while preventing the scrotum from coming into direct contact with the legs or trousers. The provision of openings on both the top and bottom of the portion that accommodates the scrotum increases breathability, providing heat dissipation and preventing stuffiness. Furthermore, by physically dropping the scrotum through the upper opening, it is possible to prevent the scrotum from unintentionally moving above the upper opening, even during up and down movements during exercise. Because the scrotum is flexible and easily deformed, a sleeve-shaped scrotal pocket with a lower opening wider than the upper opening can further prevent the scrotum from unintentionally moving above the upper opening by narrowing the upper opening, for example, to the width of the scrotum.

[0018] According to the second invention, while maintaining the effects of the first invention, it is possible to more reliably prevent direct contact between the glans and central part of the penis and the scrotum, thereby preventing sticking or stickiness between the glans and scrotum, and contact between pubic hair on the scrotum and the penis.

[0019] According to the third invention, while maintaining the effect of the second invention, a penis fixing member that can be expected to have the effect of correcting phimosis is attached between the lower glans and the penis. It can be attached to the center of the stem.

[0020] According to the fourth invention, by ensuring in advance a space so that absorbent material can be provided from the inside front to the bottom of the male genitalia covering cloth, a distance can be maintained between the penis and the absorbent material, and the wearer will not feel uncomfortable when the absorbent material with urine on it comes into contact with the penis, even immediately after urinary incontinence.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings to facilitate understanding of the present invention. Figure 1 shows an example of a front view of a male underwear main body without a penis opening according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 shows an example of a front view of a male underwear main body with a penis opening according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 shows an example of a partially cutaway exploded perspective view of a male underwear main body with a penis opening according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 4 shows an example of a side view of a male underwear main body with a penis opening according to an embodiment of the present invention when worn.

[0023] Figure 1 shows a conventional briefs- or bikini-style men's underwear, in which the scrotum is in constant contact with the inside of the underwear, equipped with a sleeve-like scrotal pocket 6a, in which the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a, the part that contains the genitals, is wider than the upper opening 6c of the scrotal pocket 6a. The "sleeve-like" design here refers to a shape in which the width between the two openings gradually changes, as in the case of a typical long-sleeved sweatshirt, where the cuffs at the upper arm and shoulder are wider than the cuffs at the wrist. Figure 2 shows an example of men's underwear equipped with a penis opening 2 and the outer periphery 5 of the opening, a male fastener 4a of a penis fixation support device 3 located on the outer periphery 5, a male fastener 8a of a male genital cover cloth 7, and a cylindrical scrotal pocket 6a with the same diameter from the upper opening 6c of the scrotal pocket 6a that contains the genitals to the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a. Figure 3 shows an example of a partially cutaway, exploded perspective view of the men's underwear body 1 shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of a side view of the male underwear main body 1 of Figures 2 and 3 when worn, and shows an example of a state in which a penis fixation support appliance 3 is attached to the penis protruding from the penis opening 2 at the lower front of the underwear main body 1 of Figures 2 and 3 and worn. At this time, penis fixation support appliance 3 has penis fixation member 9 passed through stretchable rubber member 11 and fixed with folded male and female fasteners, and female fastener 4b of penis fixation support appliance 3 attached to stretchable rubber member 11 is fixed to male fastener 4a of penis fixation support appliance 3 located on the outer periphery edge 5 of the opening at the lower front of the underwear main body 1.

[0024] As shown in Figure 4, the scrotum is dropped downward from the upper opening 6c of the scrotal pocket 6a, and the sides of the scrotum are surrounded by a cylindrical scrotal pocket 6a of the same diameter from the upper opening 6c to the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a. Therefore, the scrotum does not directly touch the skin of the legs or the glans or central part of the penis. Furthermore, the lowermost surface of the scrotum is located above the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a. Thus, according to this embodiment, the cylindrical scrotal pocket 6a provided at the bottom of the underwear has openings on both the top and bottom sides, allowing the scrotum pocket 6a to be provided with a comfortable hold while preventing direct contact with the legs or trousers. Furthermore, by providing the lower opening 6b and the upper opening 6c of the scrotal pocket 6a, openings are provided on both the top and bottom sides of the part that accommodates the genitals, resulting in increased breathability compared to conventional briefs-type or bikini-type men's underwear, which is expected to have a heat dissipation effect and prevent stuffiness.

[0025] Figure 5 is a diagram showing an example of a front view of a male underwear body having a sleeve-shaped scrotal pocket that is wider at the top than at the bottom of the portion that accommodates the penis according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 6 is a diagram showing an example of a front view of a male underwear body having a sleeve-shaped scrotal pocket that is wider at the bottom than at the top of the portion that accommodates the penis according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0026] Figure 1 shows a sleeve-shaped scrotal pocket 6a in which the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a is wider than the upper opening 6c of the scrotal pocket 6a that accommodates the scrotal penis, and the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a is oval. Figures 2, 3, and 4 show a cylindrical scrotal pocket 6a with the same diameter from the upper opening 6c of the scrotal pocket 6a that accommodates the scrotal penis to the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a that accommodates the scrotal penis. Figure 5 shows a sleeve-shaped scrotal pocket 6a in which the upper opening 6c is wider than the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a that accommodates the scrotal penis. Figure 6 shows a sleeve-shaped scrotal pocket 6a in which the lower opening 6b is wider than the upper opening 6c of the scrotal pocket 6a that accommodates the scrotal penis, as in Figure 1, but the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a is shaped like a rice ball, close to a triangle.

[0027] The scrotum is wide on the front side of the body, but shrinks toward the back side of the body, and when viewed from below, it has a rice ball-like shape. Therefore, the shape of the upper opening 6c of the scrotal pocket 6a that contains the scrotum and the shape of the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a are suitable not only as oval but also as rice ball. Furthermore, because the width of the base of the scrotum on the back side is shorter than the width of the lower part of the scrotum on the back side, a sleeve-shaped scrotal pocket 6a in which the lower opening 6b is wider than the upper opening 6c of the scrotal pocket 6a that contains the scrotum has the effect of preventing the scrotum from unintentionally moving above the upper opening 6c of the scrotal pocket 6a, even during up and down movements during exercise such as running. Furthermore, the base of the scrotum is slightly linear downward, and the lower part of the scrotum expands downward relative to the upper base of the scrotum. Therefore, by configuring the base as a cylinder and the lower part as a sleeve-like scrotal pocket 6a with the lower opening 6b wider than the upper opening 6c of the scrotal pocket 6a, it is possible to provide a scrotal pocket 6a that conforms to the shape of the scrotum, thereby achieving the effect of creating underwear that does not compress the scrotum. On the other hand, to prevent the scrotum from coming into contact with the pants when sitting on a chair or bicycle, it is desirable that the scrotum does not protrude from the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a. Therefore, it is necessary to either make the vertical length of the scrotal pocket 6a long enough so that the scrotum does not protrude, or to make the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a narrower than the width of the lower part of the scrotum. In this case, having the lower opening 6b narrower than the upper opening 6c of the scrotal pocket 6a has the effect of preventing scrotal exposure. Furthermore, because the scrotum is flexible and deformable, even if the scrotal pocket 6a is cylindrical and has a constant diameter, with the width from the upper opening 6c to the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a being narrower than the width of the scrotum in its natural state, the scrotum and scrotal pocket 6a will always be in contact, providing a comfortable feeling of hold, and by surrounding the sides of the scrotum, it will have a satisfactory effect in terms of the function of accommodating the scrotum without the scrotum coming into direct contact with the legs or trousers.Thus, the shape of the scrotal pocket 6a may be sleeve-like, with the lower opening 6b wider than the upper opening 6c of the scrotal pocket 6a that accommodates the penis; cylindrical, with the same diameter from the upper opening 6c to the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a; sleeve-like, with the upper opening 6c wider than the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a; or a shape that combines a cylindrical and sleeve-like shape between the upper opening 6c and the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a. The upper opening 6c of the scrotal pocket 6a is either oval or rice ball-shaped, and the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a is either oval or rice ball-shaped.

[0028] As noted in paragraph 0023 above, FIG. 1 does not include a penis opening 2 at the lower front of the underwear body 1. If the width of the upper opening 6c of the scrotal pocket 6a is the same as or close to the width of the scrotum, the penis and scrotum are physically connected. Therefore, during exercise such as running, the penis may enter the scrotal pocket 6a through the upper opening 6c, potentially causing contact between the glans or central portion of the penis and the scrotum. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, providing a penis opening 2 at the lower front of the underwear body 1 has the effect of preventing the penis from entering the scrotal pocket 6a. Thus, this embodiment more reliably prevents direct contact between the glans or central portion of the penis and the scrotum, thereby preventing sticking or stickiness between the glans and scrotum and contact between the pubic hair on the scrotum and the penis. 1 to 6 show bikini-style underwear as an example, but briefs-style or boxer-style underwear can also be provided with a scrotal pocket 6a, a lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a, and an upper opening 6c of the scrotal pocket 6a. In this way, with a simple configuration that uses as few additional parts as possible, it is possible to create men's underwear that does not compress the scrotum and does not bring the scrotum into contact with the glans or central part of the penis, preventing sticking or stickiness between the glans and scrotum, and preventing contact between pubic hair on the scrotum and the penis.

[0029] Figure 7 is a diagram showing an example of a front view of the entire male underwear with a male genitalia cover cloth that covers the entire penis and genitals when the male underwear main body is being worn according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 8 is a diagram showing an example of a side view of the entire male underwear with a male genitalia cover cloth that covers the entire penis and genitals when the male underwear main body is being worn according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] Figure 7 shows the state in which the upper part of the male genital covering cloth 7, which covers the entire penis and genitals, is fastened to the upper part of the outer front of the underwear main body 1 by the male side fastener 8a of the male genital covering cloth 7 provided on the underwear main body 1 and the female side fastener 8b of the male genital covering cloth 7 provided on the male genital covering cloth 7. In this case, the lower part of the male genital covering cloth 7 may be sewn to the underwear main body 1 in the area between the back side of the scrotum and the anus, or the female side fastener 8b of the male genital covering cloth 7 may be arranged to make it detachable from the underwear main body 1. Figure 8 shows a side view of the state in Figure 7, showing the state in which the male genital covering cloth 7 covers the penis and scrotum.

[0031] As noted in paragraph 0027 above, it is desirable for the scrotum not to protrude from the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a in order to prevent the scrotum from coming into contact with the pants when seated on a chair, bicycle, etc. However, if the width of the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a is narrower than the upper opening 6c of the scrotal pocket 6a in order to prevent exposure of the scrotum, the scrotum will block the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a, which impairs the breathability of the openings on both the top and bottom of the part that houses the genitals as noted in paragraph 0024 above, reducing the heat dissipation effect and the effectiveness of preventing stuffiness. Therefore, even when the purpose is to prevent exposure of the scrotum when seated, providing a male genital cover cloth 7 that covers the penis and the entire genitals will prevent the scrotum from protruding from the upper opening 6c of the scrotal pocket 6a. This has the effect of preventing the width of the lower opening 6b of the scrotal pocket 6a from being narrowed.

[0032] Figure 9 is a diagram showing an example of a side view of the entire male underwear with a male genitalia cover cloth that encases only the penis when the male underwear main body is being worn according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 10 is a diagram showing an example of a perspective side view of the entire male underwear with a male genitalia cover cloth that encases only the penis when the male underwear main body is being worn according to an embodiment of the present invention and with a built-in water-absorbent material, and Figure 11 is a diagram showing an example of a perspective front view of the entire male underwear with a male genitalia cover cloth that encases only the penis when the male underwear main body is being worn according to an embodiment of the present invention and with a built-in water-absorbent material.

[0033] Figure 9 shows a state similar to Figure 8, but with the male genital covering cloth 7 covering only the penis. In this case, the lower part of the male genital covering cloth 7 may be sewn to the outer edge 5 of the opening on the front of the underwear body, or a female fastener 8b may be placed on the male genital covering cloth 7 to make it detachable from the underwear body, as shown in Figure 9. In Figure 10, for convenience, the term "clearance 12" is used to indicate the distance from the bottom of the inner side of the male genital covering cloth 7, which covers only the penis, to the lowest surface of the penis in normal condition. Figure 11 shows an example of a perspective front view of the state shown in Figure 10.

[0034] As described in paragraph 0023 above, by making it possible to attach penis fixation support appliance 3 to the penis protruding from penis opening 2 at the bottom front of underwear body 1, this embodiment has the advantageous effect of allowing first penis fixation member 9 and second penis fixation member 9, which are expected to have the effect of correcting phimosis, to be attached to the lower glans and central part of the penis, respectively.

[0035] As shown in Figures 10 and 11, when the absorbent material 10 for absorbing unintentionally leaked urine is provided inside the male genital covering cloth 7 that covers only the penis, the male genital covering cloth 7 is lengthened downward, and taking into consideration the thickness of the absorbent material 10 provided from the front to the bottom of the inside of the male genital covering cloth 7, a clearance 12 of 1 cm or more is provided to ensure a distance between the upper surface of the absorbent material 10 and the lowermost surface of the penis in normal conditions. Also, when the absorbent material 10 is folded over and positioned, the clearance 12 is configured to be 5 cm or less in consideration of the case where the absorbent material 10 expands and tries to return to its original shape before being folded over. If the clearance 12 is provided longer than 5 cm, depending on the trousers, the lowermost outer surface of the male genital covering cloth 7 may come into contact with the uppermost surface of the inner thigh of the trousers, resulting in discomfort. Possible materials for the absorbent material 10 include absorbent fabrics, absorbent materials used in diapers, absorbent materials used in feminine hygiene products, tissue paper, and toilet paper. The male genital covering cloth 7 capable of being provided with such absorbent material 10 on its inside can be configured with the above-mentioned clearance 12 by extending the male genital covering cloth 7 downward, similarly to the male genital covering cloth 7 covering the penis and scrotum described in paragraph 0031, so that the absorbent material 10 is provided from the front to the bottom of the inside of the male genital covering cloth 7. Thus, according to this embodiment, by ensuring clearance 12 so that the absorbent material 10 can be provided from the front to the bottom of the inside of the male genital covering cloth 7 covering only the penis or the male genital covering cloth 7 covering the penis and scrotum, a distance can be maintained between the penis and the absorbent material 10, thereby achieving the effect of preventing the wearer from feeling uncomfortable when the urine-stained absorbent material 10 comes into contact with the penis, even immediately after urinary incontinence.
