Abstract
A garnet or hose retaining system comprises an elasticised retaining band (83) extending in use around a rear position (83a) of a wearer's anatomy and a front portion (83b in use at least partially across a front portion of the wearer's Danatomy. The rear portion (83a) has a modulus of elasticity extending generally longitudinally and parallel to its upper and lower boundaries. The front portion (83b) comprises a gerally downwardly extending arcuate concave curve (85) in an upper boundary, and has a greater modulus of elasticty in a transverse direction than longitudinally of the front portion.
Claims17
A garment or hose retaining system comprising:
- an elasticized retaining band having a rear band portion extending in use around a rear portion of a wearer's anatomy and a front band portion extending in use at least partially over a front portion of a wearer's anatomy, said system characterized in that said rear band portion has a modulus of elasticity extending generally longitudinally thereof in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of said wearer's anatomy and at least an upper edge portion of said front band portion is urged in use, in a downward direction by a front resilient panel located below said upper edge portion, said front resilient panel having, in a direction parallel with said longitudinal axis of said wearer's anatomy, a modulus of elasticity greater than adjacent regions of said garment or hose.
