PRIVACY APPAREL
Techniques are disclosed relating to apparel that incorporates features to facilitate changing. In some embodiments, a garment includes a garment structure formed of a fabric material. The garment structure includes a front portion operable to cover a front portion of a wearer's body and a back portion operable to cover a back portion of the wearer's body. The garment includes a first fastener mechanism extending along a first body side of the garment structure. The first fastener mechanism is operable by the wearer to join the front portion to the back portion to create a torso opening for the wearer. The garment further includes a second fastener mechanism extending along an inseam of the garment structure. The second fastener mechanism is operable by the wearer to join the front portion to the back portion to create a first leg opening and a second leg opening for the wearer.
The present application claims priority to U.S. Prov. Appl. No. 62/969,141, filed Feb. 2, 2020, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
BACKGROUND Technical FieldThis disclosure relates generally to apparel, and, more specifically, to apparel that incorporates features to facilitate changing.
Description of the Related ArtChanging in public places or in the presence of others is a common occurrence in society. Some examples are locker rooms, beaches, parks, trails and other public spaces that do not offer adequate changing facilities. Changing in these environments can be intimidating, inappropriate, unlawful or inconvenient. Historically, the most common solution to maintaining privacy and decency while changing garments in public places has been for the wearer to wrap a towel around their waist or torso. The wrapped towel covers the wearer while garments are removed and replaced by alternative garments. If the garment change takes place under the towel, privacy and decency are maintained. This method is cumbersome as the wearer must have a towel with them, maintain the towel's position around their waist or torso during the garment change and exchange garments below the bottom of the draped towel. This method often fails and privacy and decency may be compromised.
More recently, the changing towel or “surf poncho” was introduced claiming more convenience. While the changing towel will not likely fall off unexpectedly, it continues to have disadvantages. Changes of clothes must still be exchanged below, or to the side of the changing towel, which is a cumbersome process. The changing towel and surf poncho are bulky products which are designed as temporary apparel to provide privacy, decency, and slightly more convenience than a traditional towel during the process of changing garments. These products are not designed as functional apparel for the wearer before or after the lower garment exchange in question. The user cannot surf or swim in a surf poncho or utilize it as a complete garment to wear around town.
This disclosure includes references to “one embodiment” or “an embodiment.” The appearances of the phrases “in one embodiment” or “in an embodiment” do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner consistent with this disclosure.
As used herein, the terms “first,” “second,” etc. are used as labels for nouns that they precede, and do not imply any type of ordering (e.g., spatial, temporal, logical, etc.) unless specifically stated. For example, a garment may include multiple fabric portions, and the terms “first” and “second” may be used to refer to any portions. The term “first” may also be used when only one element exists.
DETAILED DESCRIPTIONExisting methods and products that attempt to provide privacy and decency when changing between garments are lacking in dependability, portability or convenience compared with the apparel described below. Additionally, most methods or products do not allow the wearer to utilize the changing device as functional apparel. Existing changing devices that are also functional apparel (e.g., breakaway pants or convertible pants) are limited in their changing capabilities as they do not provide privacy and decency when garments must be completely removed or exchanged by the wearer.
The present disclosure describes embodiments of various apparel that incorporate zippers or other types of closures which function to provide the wearer with privacy, decency and convenience when a change between garments is desired or necessary. Privacy is accomplished when the wearer is able to conceal body parts that they do not wish to expose. Decency is accomplished when the wearer is able to conceal body parts from others that are required to be concealed in public places by law. Convenience is accomplished when overall ease-of-use is enhanced in the process of changing between garments. In addition to these benefits, the apparel may also perform as functional apparel in its respective category (e.g. shorts, surf shorts, swim shorts, gym shorts, pants, workout pants, running pants, biking pants, rompers, dresses, jumpsuits, etc.).

As shown, garment 10 includes a garment structure formed of a fabric material. The garment structure includes a front portion operable to cover a front of a wearer's body and a back portion (shown in
As shown, garment 10 may include a second zipper 110B extending along an inseam of the garment structure. In the illustrated embodiment, zipper 110B is operable by the wearer to join the front portion to the back portion of garment 10 to complete a first leg opening and a second leg opening for the wearer. In some embodiments, zipper 110B includes a front zipper track and back zipper track operable by zipper-pull labeled 110BB. Zipper-pull 110BB is operable to fully join or fully separate the front and back tracks of 110B. Zipper-pull 110B may extend the entire inseam of the garment. When the front zipper track and back zipper track of zipper 110B are fully joined, zipper 110B joins the front portion to the back portion of the garment. When the front zipper track and back zipper track of zipper 110B are fully separated, the front and back portions of garment 10 are completely separated except at the outseams.
As shown, garment 10 may include a drawstring 120, located on the front portion of garment 10 near the torso opening.
As shown, garment 10 is illustrated as functional shorts that also serve as a changing device to provide privacy, decency and convenience to the wearer in the changing process. When the front zipper track and back zipper track of zipper 110A are partially or fully joined by zipper-pull 110AA and the front zipper track and back zipper track of 110B are fully separated by zipper-pull 110BB, garment 10 functions as a “changing skirt” when changing into or out of garment 10. Garment 10 may be worn during everyday life, outdoor activities and sporting events, but the garment itself allows the wearer to change into or out of garment 10 with privacy, decency and convenience.
A method of changing into garment 10 may include one or more of the following steps:
-
- 1. The wearer loosens and lowers the garment currently worn by the wearer (garment X) to slightly below the wearer's waistline. Garment X is the garment that the wearer intends to remove and replace by wearing garment 10 instead.
- 2. With the front zipper track and the back zipper track of zipper 110A fully separated and the front zipper track and back zipper track of zipper 110B fully separated (as shown in
FIG. 6 andFIG. 7 ) and with the interior of garment 10 (shown inFIG. 7 ) facing the wearer's body, the wearer wraps the waist of garment 10 around wearer's waistline and partially or fully joins the front zipper track and back zipper track of zipper 110A using 110AA to create a torso opening around the wearer's waistline. - 3. The wearer removes garment X from underneath garment 10 through the opening provided by 110B with its front zipper track and back zipper track fully separated. During this step, garment 10 functions as “changing skirt” so that garment X may be removed while privacy and decency are maintained by the wearer in the changing process.
- 4. Once garment X is pulled down low enough, the wearer may fully join the front track and back track of zipper 110B by operating zipper-pull 110BB.
- 5. The wearer fully removes garment X.
- 6. If the front track and back track of zipper 110A were not fully joined in Step 2, the wearer operates zipper-pull 110AA to fully join the front track and back track of zipper 110A.
- 7. Garment 10 is now fully secured and functioning as shorts for the wearer and garment X has been fully removed from the wearer.
A method of changing out of garment 10 may include one or more of the following steps:
-
- 1. The wearer lowers garment 10 slightly below wearer's waistline.
- 2. With garment 10 fully secured on the wearer, the wearer fully separates the front zipper track and back zipper track of zipper 110B by operating zipper-pull 110BB. The front zipper track and back zipper track of zipper 110A may remain partially of fully joined during this step.
- 3. The wearer places feet and legs through the leg openings of garment X and pulls the waist of garment X up to the waistline of the wearer. During this step, garment 10 functions as “changing skirt” so that garment X may be changed into while privacy and decency are maintained by the wearer in the changing process.
- 4. Once garment X is secured on the wearer or pulled up high enough to provide privacy and decency, the wearer fully separates the front zipper track and back zipper track of zipper 110A by operating zipper-pull 110AA. At this point, garment X is worn by the wearer and garment 10 has been fully removed from there wearer.
Changing into or out of the garment 10 is particularly convenient while changing in or out of another garment that is difficult to remove. For example, wetsuits are often difficult to put on or remove from legs and feet. Significant effort is often required to free both feet when putting on or removing a wetsuit. Exemplary garment 10 has the advantage of being worn in the fully-secured position with the front zipper track and back zipper track of zipper 110A fully joined and the front zipper track and back zipper track of zipper 110B fully joined (as shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 ) as a functional garment while putting on or removing a wetsuit as long as the wetsuit is below the inseam of the garment 10. This provides the wearer with the convenience of sitting down or bending over and the confidence of maintaining total privacy and decency, while putting on or removing the lower portion of the wetsuit.
