专利说明:
This invention relates to incontinence products, and in particular, to incontinence undergarments for males. Urinary incontinence can afflict males of all ages, and for any of a variety of reasons. In an effort to help males experiencing urinary incontinence, several types of special undergarments have been developed, ranging from various forms of diapers to boxer shorts and briefs. The diaper products, either in "pull up" or fastenable styles, typically are made of a plastic, liquid-impermeable outer shell, and an absorbent inner material. While these products may capture a urinary void, they tend to be bulky, hot, uncomfortable, and even noisy, making the presence of the particular undergarment apparent, not only to the wearer, but also to those around the wearer. This bulk and/or noise may be a source of embarrassment for some users. In addition, the diaper products may be difficult or awkward to change, given that a user often must carry another bulky, albeit clean, diaper with him, and find a proper receptacle for disposing of the soiled diaper. Each one of these factors makes the diaper products relatively undesirable. Boxer shorts provide one alternative for the incontinent male. In these garments, an internal suspended panel or sling extends between the legs of the wearer, from the front portion of the waistband to the rear portion of the waistband or to a rear seat area, to serve as a support for an absorbent pad. While offering some relief, the suspended panel or sling presents significant drawbacks to the boxer-short wearer, who is used to an undergarment which fits loosely throughout. On the one hand, the panel or sling, in order to effectively locate the pad, must hug closely to the wearer's anatomy, especially in the area of the external genitalia. However, those who prefer boxer shorts do so for the loose fit, which is no longer provided by the close-hugging sling or panel. On the other hand, where the sling or panel is situated to simulate a looser fit, the wearer lacks the confidence that the pad will be in proper position to catch a void. Briefs provide another alternative for the incontinent male who prefers the tighter fit not provided by boxer shorts. These products often include a liquid-impermeable pocket or pouch, located in the crotch region, with the pocket designed to receive an absorbent pad. While this design offers some protection for an incontinent male, it too has some inherent drawbacks. In particular, such products often are hot and uncomfortable for the wearer, much like the diapers.
Summa~r of the Invention The present invention overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks by providing an incontinence undergarment in the form of a brief (i.e., a relatively close-fitting underpant) having a liquid-permeable, breathable, retaining panel for releasably holding an absorbent pad in close, confronting relationship with a portion of a male's external genitalia, thereby enabling the pad to absorb urine from a urinary void. This male incontinence brief offers several benefits and advantages to males experiencing some form of urinary incontinence. For example, because the retaining panel is liquid permeable and breathable, the brief remains relatively cool, and therefore, much more comfortable than conventional incontinence undergarments in which the pad is held against a liquid-impermeable, non-breathable barrier.In one aspect of the invention, the retaining panel includes a thin, liquid-permeable, breathable layer attached to a portion of the interior surface of the front section of the underpant. The retaining panel also has a thin, liquid-absorbent material overlying a portion of the liquid-permeable layer, with the liquid absorbent material being liquid-permeable and breathable. Accordingly the liquid-absorbent material maintains the overall comfort of the incontinence undergarment, while at the same time providing an added level of protection against urine strike-through, i.e., urine passing through an absorbent pad and the retaining panel, and into the underpant.If desired, the liquid-absorbent material advantageously may be a single-ply, integrally-knit fabric having a hydrophilic layer and a hydrophobic layer, with the hydrophilic layer oriented toward the liquid-permeable layer. In this fashion, any urine not absorbed and retained by an absorbent pad will move to the hydrophobic layer; where it will wick into, and be retained by, the underlying hydrophilic layer. Because the liquid-permeable layer and liquid-absorbent material are relatively thin, the retaining panel, itself, is thin; moreover, both of these layers are liquid-permeable, and therefore, highly breathable. These features of thinness and breathability help maintain the natural look and feel of the underpant, thereby making it a desirable choice for males experiencing incontinence.In another aspect of the invention, the retaining panel includes several retaining flaps, in the form of a left-side retaining flap, a right-side retaining flap, and a lower-end retaining flap. These retaining flaps are sized so as to releasably hold an absorbent pad, while at the same time, exposing substantially the full face of the pad to maximize its efficiency and effectiveness in receiving and absorbing urine.In yet a further aspect of the invention, the brief may include an operable fly. For example, the brief advantageously is constructed so that the retaining panel provides full-frontal incontinence protection, while simultaneously preserving the full operability of the fly: This may be accomplished by providing an operable fly having an inner fabric layer, an overlapping outer fabric layer, a first side, and a second side opposite the first side. The inner layer may have a leading edge which extends from the first side toward the second opposite side, while the outer layer may have a leading edge which extends from the second opposite side toward the first side. In addition, the inner-layer leading edge may have a portion which is detached from the second opposite side, thereby forming an inner fly opening, while the outer-layer leading edge may have a portion which is detached from the first side, thereby forming an outer fly opening. The inner and outer fly openings may communicate along an access path between the inner and outer layers, with the retaining panel overlying at least a portion of the inner layer without being attached to the outer layer along the inner and outer fly openings. In this fashion, the brief provides a retaining panel with full-frontal incontinence protection, while simultaneously preserving the full operability of the fly.The feature of an operable fly is particularly beneficial, in that many males who wear briefs want to have access to a fully functioning fly portion.Unfortunately, existing incontinence briefs either lack an operable fly or are forced to position the particular internal pocket or pouch below the level of the fly, thereby compromising the ability of the pocket or pouch to optimally position an absorbent pad to receive urine. However, the present invention overcomes that limitation.In an additional aspect of the invention, the upper end and a portion of each of the left and right sides of the retaining-panel may be attached to the body-portion front section of the brief, while the lower end may be free from direct attachment to the body-portion front section. In this fashion, the lower end of the retaining panel, including the lower-end retaining flap, may move with the user of the brief, thereby providing a more comfortable feel, while at the same time giving the user a sense of confidence with respect to the ability to absorb and retain urine. By virtue of the foregoing, there is thus provided a brief having a liquid-permeable, breathable, retaining panel for releasably holding an absorbent pad in close, confronting relationship with a portion of a male's external genitalia. Because the retaining panel is liquid-permeable and breathable, the brief remains relatively cool, and therefore, much more comfortable than conventional incontinence undergarments in which the pad is held against a liquid-impermeable, non-breathable barrier. These and other objects and advantages of the present invention shall be made apparent from the accompanying drawings and description of the drawings. The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in, and constitute a part of, this specification, illustrate a particular version of the invention, and, together with the general description of the invention given above, and the detailed description given below, serve to explain the principles of the invention. Fig. 1 is a rear view, partially broken away to show the interior surface of the front half of a male incontinence brief in accordance with the principles of the present invention; Fig. 2 is a front view of the male incontinence brief of Fig 1; Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the interior surface of a portion of the front and crotch sections of the brief of Fig. 1, with the retaining panel shown in a partially-assembled state; Fig. 4 is a side, cross-sectional view of the torso of a male wearing the brief of Fig. 1 with an absorbent pad; and Fig. 5 is an enlarged, cross-sectional, side view of encircled area 5 of Fig. 4. _'7_ Detailed Description of the Drawings The i~nale incontinence undergarment 10 shown in Figs. 1 and 2 includes a body portion 12 and a retaining panel 14 adjacent to the body portion 12.With reference to Figs. 4 and 5 the retaining panel 14 is constructed to releasably hold an absorbent pad 16 in close, confronting relationship with a portion of a male's external genitalia 18, thereby enabling the pad 16 to absorb urine from a urinary void.As seen in Figs. 1, 2, and 4, the body portion 12 is, in essence, a conventional male brief having a front section 22, a back section 24, a crotch section 26 therebetween, a waist opening 28 sized to fit relatively snugly about the waist 29 and lower torso 31 of a wearer 33, and two leg openings 30 sized to fit snugly about the upper thighs 35 of a wearer 33. In addition, the body portion 12 includes an interior surface 32 and an exterior surface 34, and the front section 22 includes an operable fly 36. The operable fly 36 has an inner fabric layer 37 and an overlapping outer fabric layer 39, as well as a first side 41 and a second side 43 opposite the first side 41. The inner layer 37 has a leading edge 45 extending from the first side 41 to the second opposite side 43, while the outer layer 39 has a leading edge 47 which extends from the second opposite side 43 toward the first side 41. In addition, the leading edge 45 has a portion 49 which is detached from the second opposite side 43, thereby forming an inner fly opening 51. Meanwhile, the leading edge 47 has a portion 53 which is detached from the first side 41, thereby forming an outer fly opening 55. The inner and outer fly openings 51, 55 communicate along an access path (not shown) between the inner and outer layers 37, 39, and the retaining panel _g_ 14 overlies at least a portion of the inner layer 37 without being attached to the outer layer 39 along the 'inner and outer fly openings 51, 55.The body portion 12 may be made using any of the methods of manufacture known in the art, and may incorporate any material or combination of materials used in the art. Advantageously, the body portion 12 is formed of 100%cotton yarns made from staple fibers, and further includes an elasticized waist band 38 and elasticized leg cuffs 40. As will thus be appreciated, the term "brief' as used herein, includes conventional briefs, an athletic-cut brief (a brief having leg extensions which are designed to extend along a portion of the length of the upper thighs and to fit snugly along their length); and a liner-brief for being attached to, and positioned in, the interior of a short-like garment, and expressly does not include conventional boxer shorts.As best shown in Figs. 1-3, the male incontinence undergarment 10 includes a substantially rectangular, liquid-permeable retaining panel 14 which is stitched directly to a portion of the interior surface 32 of the body-portion front section 22. In particular, the retaining panel 14 includes an upper end 44, a lower end 46, a left side 48, a right side 50, and a back wall 52. The upper end 44 of the panel 14 is stitched to the body-portion front section 22 along horizontal stitch line 54, where the elasticized waistband 38 is stitched to the front section 22. The panel 14 then extends downward, along the interior surface 32 of the front section 22, with the panel 14 terminating before the lower-most portion 56 of the crotch section 26 of the brief 20. The left and right sides 48, 50 of the panel 14 are stitched to the body-portion front section 22 along left and right stitch lines 58, 60, with these stitch lines 58, 60 extending downward from the panel upper end 44. The left and right stitch 301 North Streetlines 58, 60 stop before the panel lower end 46, with the left stitch line 58 ending generally at the bottom 62 of the inner fly opening 51, and the right stitch line 60 ending generally at the bottom 66 of the outer fly opening 55. Note also that the positioning of the left stitch line 58 corresponds with the leading edge 45 of the inner layer 37 of the fly 36, thereby providing normal access to the inner fly opening 51 and outer fly opening 55. In addition, the positioning of the right stitch line 60 corresponds with the first side 41 of the inner layer 37 of the fly 36.With reference to Figs. 1, 3, and 4, the retaining panel 14 includes several retaining flaps which releasably hold an absorbent pad 16 in close, confronting relationship with a portion of a male's external genitalia 18. More specifically, the panel 14, includes a left-side retaining flap 72, a right-side retaining flap 74, and a lower-end retaining flap 76, with each flap 72, 74, 76 having an interior surface 78, an exterior surface 80, and an edge 82. As best shown in Figs. 3 and 5, the retaining panel 14 includes two plies of fabric. The first ply 84 is a liquid-permeable layer which is situated adjacent the body-portion front section 22. Advantageously, the first ply 84 is a 100%polyester, satin-weave fabric, which is hydrophobic, breathable, and liquid-permeable at the various pressures which normally are exerted during an incontinent void. Such fabric is available from Precision Fabrics Group, 301 North Street, Suite 600, Greensborough, NC 27401 under the product style number 56139. This ply 84 forms not only the panel back wall 52, but also the left-side retaining flap 72, the right-side retaining flap 74, and the lower-end retaining flap 76. If desired, the first-ply fabric may be coated with Teflon~ and/or an antimicrobial, as at 85 (Fig. 5). In addition the first ply fabric may be treated with one or more opticals and/or softeners. One example of a suitable antimicrobial is DC-5700, available frofn AegisT"' Environments, Midland, Michigan. These coatings advantageously are applied in a manner which will not materially adversely affect the liquid-permeability of the first ply 84.The second ply 86 is a liquid-absorbent material which overlies a portion of the first ply 84, and is an integrally-knit, multi-component fabric, having a hydrophobic layer and a hydrophilic layer, with the hydrophilic layer adjacent the first ply 84. The integrally-knit fabric may be ComPly~ fabric, available from Standard Textile Co., Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio and taught in Heiman U.S. Patent No. 5,290,263, or may be the integrally-knit fabric disclosed in co-pending Application No.08/682,142, entitled "Absorbent Fabric and Undergarments Incorporating the Fabric"and filed on July 17, 1996. The entire disclosures of U.S. Patent No. 5,290,263 and Application No. 08/682,142 are incorporated herein in their entireties by reference. With further reference to Figs. 3 and 5, the second ply 86 overlies the first ply 84 from the panel upper end 44 to the panel lower end 46, including not only the panel back wall 52, but also the interior surface 78 of the lower-end retaining flap 76. The second ply 86 does not, however, cover the interior surface 78 of either the left- or right-side retaining flaps 72, 74. The retaining panel 14 may be made by cutting the first ply fabric and second ply fabric to size, positioning the second ply 86 on top of the first-ply back (Fig. 5) wall 92, with the hydrophilic layer adjacent the first ply 84, and stitching the two plies 84, 86 directly to the interior surface 32 of the front panel 22, thereby forming stitch lines 54, 58, 60. The left-side, right-side, and lower-end retaining flaps 72, 74, 76 may be formed by folding the respective portions of the retaining panel 14 inward in a direction to overlay ply 86, stitching the top edge 94 of each side flap 72, 74 to the back wall 52, and stitching the left and right sides 96, 98 of the lower-end flap 76 to the lower portion 100 of the left-side and right-side retaining flaps 72, 74. The male incontinence brief 10 is adapted to be used with a conventional, disposable, absorbent pad 16, with the retaining-panel 14 releasably holding the pad 16 in close, confronting relationship to a male's external genitalia 18. To this end, and as best seen in Fig. 5, the absorbent pad 16 includes a polyethylene barrier layer 102 on the pad undersurface 104. In this fashion, when a urinary void occurs, urine immediately contacts the large, exposed portion of the pad body-facing surface 106, where it is absorbed into the pad 16. Depending upon the size of the void and/or the position or movement of the user, the pad 16 will absorb and retain most, if not all, of the urine, and the urine will not move through the pad 16 to the second ply 86 of liquid-absorbent material because of the polyethylene barrier layer 102. Any urine not immediately absorbed by the pad 16 will tend to move downward to the lower end 46 of the retaining panel 14, where it will be retained by the lower-end retaining flap 76, and absorbed by the pad lower portion 108 and the retaining-panel lower portion 110.In addition, because the left and right stitch lines 58, 60 connecting the retaining panel 14 to the body portion 12 end generally at the bottom 62, 66 of the inner and outer fly openings 51, 55, the lower-end retaining flap 76 is not sewn to the interior surface 32 of the body-portion front section 22. Accordingly, this retaining flap 76 is able to move with the movements of the user, thereby providing added comfort, while at the same time, capturing urine from a urinary void. While the present invention has been illustrated by the description of a particular version 10 of the male incontinence brief, and while the illustrative version has been described in considerable detail, it is not the intention of the inventor to restrict, or in any way limit, the scope of the appended claims to such detail.5 Additional advantages and modifications will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the specification. Here, numerous other versions of a male incontinence brief are encompassed within the scope of the invention. For example, the brief may include a front section which has the appearance of an operable fly, but which in fact, simply has a seam or seams which give the 10 appearance of an operable fly. Alternatively, the brief may have no fly whatsoever, operable or otherwise, to give the appearance of a unisex underpant. Yet another version of the brief may include a brief-like underpant which is sewn to the interior waist portion of an "outer" undergarment, with the brief being much like the liner of a swimsuit or a pair of running or hiking shorts. The invention, in its broader aspects, is therefore not limited to the specific details, representative brief, and illustrated example shown and described. Accordingly, departures may be made from such details without departing from the spirit or scope of the inventor's general inventive concept. What is claimed is:
