Rolling surface garment

Abstract

Garments are presented with unique utility purposes which aid in the process of rolling herbs. Garments incorporate herb rolling surface into their design providing a designated rolling surface while wearing pants in seated position. Herb is defined as any plant with leaves, seeds, or flowers used for flavoring, food, medicine, or perfume. Attempting to roll herbs on garments without a proper rolling surface results in the entanglement of herb and garment fibers. The following rolling surface garment; prevents the entanglement of herb fibers with garment, and provide a designated herb rolling surface.

Description

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Herb rolling surface garment: allows user to properly roll herbs preventing the entanglement of herb and garment fibers while also providing a designated rolling surface.

DESCRIPTION

Technical Field

The invention relates to apparel, more specifically the improvement of garments for utility purposes.

Background

The use of fabrics and woven patterns date to 6300 B.C. in areas of present day Turkey. These fabrics and woven patterns were used to make some of the first ever recorded garments. The earliest of garment constructions were hand made and can be characterized by low thread counts. Under the advancements of technology and the implementation of mechanical fabric manufacturing the thread count of fabrics has increased. The significance of this advancement allowed for the production of taut material and fabrics which are difficult to penetrate. These fabrics serve purposes such as protection against rain and can be utilized in a variety of other ways to provide impenetrable surfaces.

One of the earliest documentation of pants, a staple amongst garments, dates back to western China circa 1000 B.C. Over time, pants have evolved and inventors have used various stitch patterns and material to construct pants in order to suitable shape the wearer. Pants are generally comprised of one main material accompanied by stitching to hold material in place; some pants use rivets to ease tension as well as buttons, zippers, or buckles to fasten to waist. Pants are made in a variety of sizes to fit the shape of individual body figures. In general pants are used for the utility purpose of covering the lower body, however, over the last century they have also been implemented in fashion practices that go beyond general utility purposes. U.S. Pat. No. US0D0624281 displays pants with cargo style pockets. This design and implementation of cargo pockets give pants utility; providing designated extra storage space for wearer's possessions. Garments that serve the purpose of covering the wearer's body have undergone variations; These variations are made as a means of achieving higher utility for the wearer. U.S. Pat. No. US0D 0765346 displays exercise pants with integrated legwarmers. These pants describe an integrated design giving the wearer more utility by providing the necessary invention to keep legs warm. Pants are an explanatory example of one of the numerous garments produced over the course of history that not only serve utility purposes of covering the body, but have also been transformed and implemented into fashion practices.

Early documentation of a recorded list of medicinal herbs dates to areas of ancient China. The use of herbs however is not limited to this region, and the utilization of herbs can be traced back to areas of not only ancient China, but as well as India, Egypt, North America, and South America. Herbs have widespread usage and are not limited to medical usage, however are often associated with it. Herbal treatment can be done through numerous forms of ingestion such as, but not limited to the; drinking of herb tea, digestion of herb, or inhaling of herb smokes.

There are various methods associated with the inhalation of herb smoke, however, a significant method to observe is through the process of rolling herbs. The process of rolling is completed using paper like material to aid in the formation of a cylinder like shape of herb capable of being smoked. To aid in the process of rolling herbs inventions of the modern century have created trays to hold and collect herbs during rolling process, as well as devices capable of rolling herbs. U.S. Pat. No. US009380808 presents a cigarette tobacco filler device. This device manually fills cigarettes with tobacco. The purpose of this device is to provide a tool that is capable of filling cigarettes with tobacco or virtually any other similarly textured herb. Filling cigarettes with tobacco, an herb, for smoking purposes is similar to rolling herbs for smoking purposes, however, slightly differ due to the incorporation of different production methods. While filling tobacco using this device is manually done, the action of rolling herbs is often done using an individual's hands without the aid of a device because it is generally faster under certain circumstances.

Existing art that allows the creation of cigarettes filled with tobacco, an herb, is not uncommon. There are many devices that have been created to fill or roll cigarettes, however all stem from the original rolling process which is done using an individual's hands. Existing art in the form of garments and their variations have been combined with designs which give garments utility. Pants with cargo style pockets and pants with integrated legwarmers are examples of gained utility through invention application and design. Utility is universal, if useful or beneficial utility can be assessed.

The following list disadvantages within the current art of garments as it pertains to the inspiration of the invention described herein: 1) No garments currently integrates an herb rolling surface into garments which does not allow the utility of such an invention to be assessed or available to public. 2) Prior art forces the use of mechanical tools or devices to roll herbs if proper herb rolling surface is not present. 3) The use of mechanical tools or instruments are not always most reliable or efficient method of rolling herbs. 4) If mechanical tools or proper rolling surface are not present current garment being worn at time is a common substitute. 5) The substitution of garment for herb rolling surface promote the unnecessary infusion of herb and garment fibers.
