Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pair of pants at least comprising a front and a back which are both provided on the top side thereof with a waistband and wherein at least the front is provided with an opening.
  • Such pants are generally known and are embodied in many different variations.
  • the front of the pants comprises an opening which is covered by an overlying layer of textile which has to be deformed in order to provide access to the opening.
  • the present invention has for its object to avoid the above stated drawback and provides for this purpose a pair of pants according to the preamble which is characterized in that the opening is covered by a covering member which is at least partially releasable to thus provide a better accessibility of the opening.
  • the opening is at least partially uncovered when the covering member is released.
  • the covering member is preferably provided with releasable securing means for securing at least the releasable part of the covering member to the pants.
  • Such securing means can comprise diverse means known to the skilled person, such as a Velcro fastening wherein a part of the Velcro tape is fixed to the covering member while another part co-acting therewith is fixed to the waistband of the pants or to any other part of the pants.
  • Other possible securing means comprise for instance button fastenings, press-stud fasteners and hook and eye fasteners.
  • the covering member advantageously comprises an at least partially releasable flap.
  • Such a flap is preferably made from the same material as the other part of the pants and can be at least partially folded aside after release of the securing means so that the opening in the pants becomes better accessible.
  • the pants according to the present invention can also be embodied such that the covering member is folded away sideward, it is recommended that the covering member is removed in substantially downward direction when it is released.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that the covering member will not spontaneously return under the influence of the gravity to the situation wherein the opening is substantially covered and difficult to access. This latter situation will only be reached when the covering member is placed manually into this position.
  • the pants according to the present invention can have diverse functions, including for instance that of shorts or track-suit trousers, in an advantageous embodiment the pants are underpants.
  • Such a pair of underpants can moreover comprise different designs, including those of underpants with long legs, boxer shorts and briefs. It will be apparent that this embodiment of the pants is particularly suitable for men.
  • Figure 1 shows a pair of pants 1 with a front 2 and a back - not shown in the figure - which are stitched together and are provided at the top with a waistband 4.
  • the front 2 of pants 1 is further provided with an opening 5.
  • Figure 2 shows the pants 1 of figure 1, provided however with a covering member 3 in the form of a layer or flap of textile material which is fixed to the pants substantially non-releasably at the bottom of the front, but which is at least partially releasable at the top to provide an easy access to opening 5 in pants 1.
  • the substantially non-releasable fixing of covering member 3 to the pants can for instance be embodied in that covering member 3 is stitched to pants 1.
  • the covering member 3 is stitched to the front part 2 of prints 1 along the part designated 6b, while covering member 3 is releasable from front part 2 along the part designated 6a.
  • covering member 3 and waistband 4 of pants 1 are provided with mutually co-acting securing means 7.
  • securing means 7 comprise Velcro tape, wherein one part 7a is fixed to covering member 3 and another part 7b is fixed to the waistband 4 of the pants.
  • the securing means are provided on the visible outer side with a brand label.
  • securing means 7 may also comprise other means known to the skilled person.
  • the securing means do not necessarily have to be provided on the waistband 4 of the pants.
  • FIG 3 shows schematically the pants 1 according to the present invention at the moment when fastening 7 has just been released. It will be apparent that this release can take place by simply detaching the two layers of Velcro from each other or by mutually releasing the securing means in a manner suitable for this purpose.
  • covering member 3 can be removed at least partially from the front part 2 of pants I so that opening 5 becomes better accessible from above.
  • a part of opening 5 is exposed when covering member 3 is partially removed from the front part 2 of pants 1.
  • the exposed portion of the opening 5 can be varied in size depending on the embodiment of the pants and the manner in which covering member 3 is secured thereto.
  • the releasable covering member applied in the pants according to the present invention can thus encompass different embodiments, including that wherein the covering member can be removed from the front part of the pants in sideward direction.
