This invention relates to athletic trunks. The main object of the invention is to pro vide an athletic trunk which is comfortable to wear and which will not hinder the move 5 ments of the athlete. Another object of the invention is to provide an athletic trunk having acomparatively wide heavy hand at the waistline with a specially constructed reinforcement at the 1 back. 7
Another object of the invention is to provide novel means to retain thereinforcing elements in the waistband.
A still further object of the invention is to provide three reinforcing elements in the belt consisting of one central resilient member bearing against the spine of the wearer and two auxiliary members bearing against the kidneys, the central member being longer,
so than'the auxiliary members.
Other objects will appear as the disclosure progresses. The drawing is intended to merely indicatea possible embodiment of the invention. It is obvious that the actual needs of manufacture may necessitate certain mechanical changes. It is therefore not intended to limit the invention to the embodiment illustrated but rather to define such 10 Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary view of a portion of the front of the trunks.
Figure 5 is an enlarged section on line'5-5 of Figure 2.
Figure 6 is an enlarged section on line 46 6-6 of Figure 1.
Figure 7 is an enlarged section on line 77 of Figure 1.
Referring now to the drawing in detail numeral 1 designates the body portion of the garment, 2 and 3 the leg portions and 4: the
'ments in said, widened portion of 5 and 6 sewed t ogether 'at the top and'bottom 7 and 8 and at the edge 9, the opposite edge 10 being open. As indicated in Figure 1 .vided with eyelets 11 through which pass the lacings 12 for tying the belt together. 60
The rear ofthe belt is provided with an upstanding widened portion 13. Housed Within the pockets 14, 15, and 16 of the said widened portion of the belt are resilient rep inforcing elements 17, 18, and 19. The ver- 8'5 tically disposed central reinforcing element 18 is longer than the elements 17 and 19 and is on line with the spine of the wearer. The. last named reinforcing elements are obliquely disposed to the central reinforcing element and bear on the kidneys of the wearer. Thus when the belt is tightened around the waist of the wearer the spine and kidneys willbe supported and protected against any violent movements which the wearer might make 76 during the course of exercising. The rest of the garment fits loosely around the, body of 5 5' I V the athlete. Y p 7 As noted in Figure 5 guides 20 and 21 are formed on both sides of the ends of the rein-"T80 forcing elements to keep the said elements within the confines of the pockets and prevent the ends thereof from tearing throughi'the pockets and injuring the wearer during the course of the exercise.
Having described my invention, I claim: 1. In a garment of the class described, the combination of a body portion, of legportions, a belt formed of two wall members attached to the top of said body portion, the
top edges ofsaid belt turned inwardlytowards one another, and reinforcing elements inserted between said inturned edges.
2. In a garment of the class described, the
combination of a body portion, of leg portions, a belt formed of two wall membersattached to the top of said body portion, the
rear of said belt being widened and provided with inturned walls, and reinforcing ele-' he belt, 1 g
center .ofsai'd widened portion of the belt; a
resilient reinforcing element obliquely disposed at both sidesof saideentraztreinfom-* ing element, and the top and bottom edges of said belt turned inwardly towards other, the ends of said reinforcing elements inserted between saidintnrn-ed edge's. V
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
