Abstract: The relatively loose fiting external portion of the garment has a waistband. An internal shell is adapted to extend between the legs of the wearer from the front portion of the waistband to the rear portion of the waistband. The shell forms a snug fitting support for an absorbent pad which retains the pad in a position closely adjacent the body. The shell is preferably made of mesh-like elastic material. A liquid impermeable pouch may be attached to the shell to receive the pad in a removeable fashion.

Abstract: The portion of the lead which is soldered between electrical components in a circuit module includes one or more radially extending slits. Once heated, the fluid solder is drawn into the slits by capillary action. Trapped air escapes, eliminating air pockets or gaps. The result is a stronger joint and a reduction in solder overflow.

Abstract: Means are provided for removably mounting an ornamental element to the temple piece of an eyeglass frame. In one set of preferred embodiments, a recess which receives the temple piece is defined between the element and a part. One or more machine screws are employed to secure the element on the temple piece. The orientation of the element is determined by a surface which cooperates with the temple piece. In a second set of preferred embodiments, a part with a screw receiving aperture is received in an opening or slot which has a second screw receiving aperture associated with it. A machine screw is received in the aligned apertures to secure the element to the temple piece.
