FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates generally to a pair of underwear with a shirt tucking apparatus. More particularly, the present invention is a pair of underwear with a second elastic band that is attached to the pair of underwear at four different points thus providing openings for a shirt to tuck into.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONTucking in a shirt has been a tradition with business casual, business, and formal attires. The shirt is generally tucked inside of pants to maintain the aforementioned attires; however, the shirt does not always remain in a tucked position due to physical activates of the wearer. People tend to use belts to keep the shirt in a tucked positioned but the belts do not always maintain the shirt in the tucked position when the wearer engages in multiple physical activities. For example, the shirt usually becomes untucked when raising one's arms, getting up from a seated position, and lifting objects.
It is therefore an objective of the present invention to provide an apparatus which can help keep shirts in a tucked position. More specifically, the present invention includes a second elastic band that is attached to a first elastic band of an underwear at four different locations thus providing openings for a shirt to be tucked. The second elastic band is made of elastic material and holds the shirt in a tucked position when the second elastic band is in a compressed state around the wearer waist. The present invention also provides multiple inner friction band sets that are externally positioned on the first elastic band to help grip the shirt from inside, providing another means to keep the shirt in a tucked position. The present invention also provides multiple outer friction band sets that are externally positioned on the second elastic band to help grip the lower garment from inside, providing another means to keep the second elastic band in a tucked position.
All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
The present invention is an underwear with shirt tucking apparatus so that a wearer can keep shirts in a tucked position during daily physical activities such as raising arms, bending, and sitting. The present invention efficiently maintains the tucked position for a shirt due to its component configuration and does not compromise the comfort of the wearer. As shown in
The lower undergarment 1 that is utilized within the present invention can be men's lower undergarments or women's lower undergarments as long as the lower undergarment 1 comprises the first waist band 4. The lower undergarment 1 may be shaped as any type of underwear such as briefs, boxer briefs, panties, or boxers. The lower undergarment 1 may be any color or color combination, made of any material such as cotton, and any size to fit different body sizes. In reference to
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of attachments 9 that secures the second waist band 7 to the first waist band 4 within the present invention further comprises a sagittal attachment 10, a first lateral attachment 11, and a second lateral attachment 12 as shown in
The offset positioning between the front attachment 17 and the sagittal plane 8 of the present invention is further explained in relation to the offset positioning of the proximal end 18 and the distal end 19. In reference to a first configuration as shown in
The plurality of gaps 13 that allows the shirt to be inserted is delineated by the positioning of the first waist band 4, the second waist band 7, and the plurality of attachments 9. In reference to
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention as shown in
In reference to the alternative embodiment, the first gap 14 is delineated by the first waist band 4, the second waist band 7, the sagittal attachment 10, and the first lateral attachment 11 thus extending from the front section 2 to the rear section 3. The second gap 15 is delineated by the first waist band 4, the second waist band 7, the sagittal attachment 10, and the second lateral attachment 12 thus extending from the front section 2 to the rear section 3. The third gap 16 is delineated by the first waist band 4, the second waist band 7, the first lateral attachment 11 and the second lateral attachment 12 in such a way that the third gap 16 extends along the rear section 3.
The present invention further comprises a first inner friction strip 20, a second inner friction strip 21, and a third inner friction strip 22, providing additional support to keep the shirt in the tucked position. More specifically, the first inner friction strip 20 is externally superimposed over the first waist band 4 and positioned offset from the second waist band 7 thus positioning within the first gap 14. The second inner friction strip 21 is externally superimposed over the first waist band 4 and positioned offset from the second waist band 7 thus positioning within the second gap 15. The third inner friction strip 22 is externally superimposed over the first waist band 4 and positioned offset from the second waist band 7 thus positioning within the third gap 16. As a result, the first inner friction strip 20, the second inner friction strip 21, and the third inner friction strip 22 are able to grasp an inside surface of the shirt while the second waist band 7 compresses an outside surface of the shirt.
The present invention further comprises a first outer friction strip 23, a second outer friction strip 24, and a third outer friction strip 25, providing additional support to keep the second waist band 7 from riding up along the shirt. More specifically, the first outer friction strip 23 is externally superimposed over the second waist band 7 and positioned offset from the first waist band 4 thus positioning adjacent to the first gap 14. The second outer friction strip 24 is externally superimposed over the second waist band 7 and positioned offset from the first waist band 4 thus positioning adjacent to the second gap 15. The third outer friction strip 25 is externally superimposed over the second waist band 7 and positioned offset from the first waist band 4 thus positioning adjacent to the third gap 16. As a result, the first outer friction strip 23, the second outer friction strip 24, and the third outer friction strip 25 are able to grasp an inside surface of a lower garment to keep the second waist band 7 hidden within the lower garment.
The shirt comprises a first front panel, a second front panel, and a rear panel. In reference to
Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
