PATENT OF THE WEEK – MEN’S SWIMSUIT

The Men’s swimsuit was invented by Zachary Baiany on 10^th September 2013 bearing patent number US8528114B2.

The present invention relates to men’s swimsuit that includes an outer shell having an outer-shell waistband; and an inner liner that defines an interior lumen. The inner liner includes an inner-liner waistband attached to the outer-shell waistband; and a pair of inner-liner leg sleeves extending from the inner-liner waistband. Each inner-liner leg sleeve terminates in a hem configured to exert a radially compressive force urging the hem against a thigh passing therethrough. As a result, the hems of the inner-liner leg sleeves, in cooperation with the inner-liner waistband, prevent particulate matter from reaching the interior lumen of the inner liner.

The hem is a form-fitting hem. Examples of such hems are those made of a form-fitting material. One such material is spandex. Other materials are those that include elastomeric fibers. Other examples of form-fitting hems include those having elastic bands, and those having a drawstring that, when tightened, exerts a radially compressive force.
