SUMMARYA wire frame supportive bathing suit bottom, athletic supporter, female undergarment or other garment held to the body by spring pressure.
The present invention relates to improvements in a spring wire frame on which is sewn a side-less garment such as a bikini bathing suit bottom, a side-less undergarment, an athletic supporter or other garment held to the body not by a belt around the waist but by spring pressure. Previous efforts to manufacture and sell such garments have relied upon spring pressure exerted upon the front and back of the body by wire approximately 0.125 in diameter or greater. Such garments lack flexibility and are uncomfortable and do not stay in place when the wearer is swimming, surfing or exercising. The spring frame pictured in
The use of a tiny diameter wire of approximately 1/16 diameter or other flexible material permits the garment to move with the body when the wearer walks, runs or swims and still remain safely affixed to the body.
As shown in
While the above invention has been described with reference to certain preferred embodiments, the scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. One skilled in the art may find variations of these preferred embodiments which, nevertheless, fall within the spirit of the present invention, whose scope is defined by the claims set forth below.
Claims
1. A spring frame for a sideless garment which exerts lateral pressure against the inside of the legs at the crotch so that the sides of the garment press against the crevices at the inside of the legs, thereby contributing to securing the garment to the body.
2. A sideless garment, undergarment or bathing suit bottom held in part to the body by the tangential elastic or spring force exerted laterally against the inside of the legs at the crotch; a frame for a sideless undergarment or bikini bathing suit bottom in a compressed or overlapping form which, when pulled apart at the front and back and also squeezed together at the bottom is placed upon the body, taking the shape of the body and exerting close to equal pressure against the front and back of the body and against inside of the legs so that the frame grips the body along its entire perimeter.
4. As in claim 2 whereas said spring force is also in the form of a clock spring to secure said garment onto the front and the back of said body.
3. A frame for a sideless undergarment or bikini bottom in a compressed or overlapping form which when pulled apart at the front and back of the frame and placed onto the body takes the shape of the body and exerts even pressure against the front and back of the body to provide a glove-like fit.
