Description

FIG. 1 is a front and right side perspective view of an underpants in accordance with an embodiment of my new design;

FIG. 2 is a front elevation view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a rear elevation view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a left side view of the underpants, a right side view being a mirror image thereof;

FIG. 5 is a top plan view thereof; and,

FIG. 6 is bottom plan view thereof.

The stippling shown in the drawings illustrates fabric texture, and while shown intermittently, is understood to extend uniformly across the entire surface of the design upon which it is applied. For clarity of illustration and to aid understanding of the design, environmental features (specifically the waistband, the seams and the leg cuffs) that form no part of the claimed design are shown in dashed lines.

Claims

I claim the ornamental design for underpants, as shown and described.
