Smart Summary: Disposable shirts and crotch strips help keep customers safe from bacteria when trying on clothes. They are made from a special material that protects against germs, similar to what is used in medical gowns. The shirts come in five sizes to fit different body types and cover important areas like the torso and underarms. The crotch strip attaches to the shirt and provides extra protection when trying on pants or undergarments. Both items are designed to be affordable and thrown away after each use, ensuring cleanliness for the next customer. 🚀 TL;DR

Abstract:

The disposable shirt and disposable crotch strip protect against lingering bacteria contamination for new customers when trying on clothes that were previously tried on by previous customers. If a customer declines to buy the garment and store personnel place it back on a shelf or rack for further fitting by other shoppers, this helps to prevent more possible contamination. The shirt and crotch strip are made with a disposable, non-woven, microbial-protective material that is also used for disposable medical gowns and garments. It can also be made with other types of antimicrobial material to provide diverse supply options at different cost ranges. The shirt is made in five varied sizes ranging from extra small, small, medium, large, and extra-large to easily fit all customer sizes. The shirt covers the upper torso, the shoulders, and the upper arms, including a person's underarm. A second strip of microbial protective material is also included, which customers can stretch from their abdomen downward, running it in between their legs and crotch area and then extending it upwards to the lower back for use when trying on undergarments, pants, or shorts. That strip includes adhesive dots on each end that stick to the disposable shirt in the front and back to hold the strip in place while trying on undergarments, pants, or shorts. Both the shirt and the protective strip are low-cost designs meant for immediate disposal after each individual use.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Currently, when an adult or child is trying on clothing in a clothing store, there are no options for protection against body-borne bacteria and other types of contamination from the store clothing that other customers may have tried on prior to the wearer. The invention provides the wearer a disposable, two-piece detachable garment to be worn temporarily when trying on clothing in a clothing store fitting room. This can help to reinforce hygienic protection against body-borne bacteria and other types of contamination.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention is related to a uni-sex disposable undergarment design for hygienic purposes when trying on unpurchased store clothing.

DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART INCLUDING INFORMATION DISCLOSED UNDER CFR 1.97 AND 1.98

Brief Summary of the Invention

One aspect of the invention is to provide protection on both the wearer's torso and crotch area when trying on store clothing. The lower portion of the invention can be detached from the upper portion for primarily clothing tops, such as shirts and dresses. Both upper and lower can be worn for protection when trying on clothing bottoms, such as pants, shorts, and swimwear.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 shows the disposable top, front and back views.

FIG. 2 shows the disposable crotch strip.

FIG. 3 shows the front view of the disposable top with the disposable crotch strip attached by adhesive dots.

FIG. 4 shows the back view of the disposable top with the disposable crotch strip attached by adhesive dots.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The following detailed description sets out to provide a more thorough understanding of the invention. FIG. 1 illustrates the disposable shirt (front and back views), to be worn on the wearer's torso. This disposable shirt is made of non-woven, microbial protective material. FIG. 2 illustrates the disposable crotch strip with 1, 2, 3, 4 adhesive dots. The crotch strip is made of a non-woven, microbial protective material. FIG. 3 illustrates both the disposable shirt and disposable crotch strip attached to make one full disposal item, front view. FIG. 4 illustrates both the disposable shirt and disposable crotch strip attached to make one full disposal item, back view.

Claims

1. A non-woven, microbial protective disposable top that can be worn when trying on clothing, to protect the wearer from bacteria and contamination. The disposable top would cover the wearer's torso, as in, the chest, upper and lower back, abdomen, shoulders and underarms.

2. A non-woven, microbial protective disposable crotch strip that can be worn when trying on clothing to protect the wearer from bacteria and contamination. The crotch strip would be attached to the disposable top of claim 1 and would cover from the far lower abdomen to the crotch area and middle of the buttocks and far lower back.

3. The material in claim 1 and claim 2 are made from a non-woven, microbial protective material generally used for disposable medical gowns and garments. An alternative antimicrobial material can be used for diverse supply options and cost ranges.

4. The item in claim 2 would be attached to the item in claim 1 with four small double sided adhesive dots, to hold the top and crotch strip in place.
