Abstract
A nether garment for adsorbing odor to be worn close to at least one body part of a user having at least one outer fabric material layer and an inner layer of fiber fabric material for adsorbing odor, such that the nether garment conforms to a shape of the at least one body part of the user thereby providing one or more of a lightweight, flexible, breathable, washable, regenerative and reusable apparatus. Also described is a method of making an odor control nether garment and an improved method of controlling odors, including various body odors.
Claims6
A nether garment for adsorbing odor to be worn close to at least one body part of a user, comprising:
- a) at least one permeable outer fabric material layer;
- and
- b) an inner layer of activated carbon fiber fabric material for adsorbing odor located throughout a majority of the nether garment,
- wherein the inner layer of activated carbon fiber fabric material is regenerable and comprises a preoxidized, polyacrylonitrile fiber material and a material having about 5.5% nitrides by weight, and
- wherein a majority of the nether garment is permeable and breathable, and conforms to a shape of the at least one body part of the user.
A nether garment for adsorbing odor to be worn close to at least one body part of a user, consisting of:
- a) two permeable outer fabric material layers;
- and
- b) an inner layer of activated carbon fiber fabric material for adsorbing odor situated between the two permeable outer fabric material layers and located throughout a majority of the nether garment,
- wherein the inner layer of activated carbon fiber fabric material is regenerable and comprises a preoxidized, polyacrylonitrile fiber material and a material having nitrides, and
- wherein a majority of the nether garment is permeable and breathable, and conforms to a shape of the at least one body part of the user.
An odor adsorbing garment comprising:
- a) an outer fabric material and an inner fabric material which form front and back portions of the garment and which have a shape that forms a waist opening and two leg openings;
- b) an activated carbon fiber fabric material for adsorbing odor between the outer and inner fabric materials and about the same size and shape as the outer and inner fabric materials;
- c) elastic bands separately formed around the circumference of the waist opening and the two leg openings,
- wherein perimeters of the outer fabric material, the inner fabric material and the activated carbon fiber fabric material are joined together with the elastic bands,
- wherein the activated carbon fiber fabric material is regenerable and comprises a preoxidized, polyacrylonitrile fiber material and a material having nitrides, and
- wherein the outer fabric material, the inner fabric material and activated carbon fiber fabric material are permeable and breathable.
A nether garment for adsorbing odor to be worn close to at least one body part of a user, comprising:
- a) at least one permeable outer fabric material layer;
- and
- b) an inner layer of activated carbon fiber fabric material for adsorbing odor located throughout a majority of the nether garment,
- wherein the outer layer is a non-woven, spunbound polypropylene material,
- wherein the inner layer of activated carbon fiber fabric material comprises a preoxidized, polyacrylonitrile fiber material and a material having about 5.5% nitrides by weight, is heat regenerable, has a pore volume of about 0.4 ml/g to about 1.5 ml/g, a tensile strength of about 20 kg/mm2 to about 50 kg/mm2, and is about 75% to about 100% microporous, and
- wherein a majority of the nether garment is permeable and breathable, and conforms to a shape of the at least one body part of the user.
A nether garment for adsorbing odor to be worn close to at least one body part of a user, comprising:
- a) at least one permeable outer fabric material layer;
- and
- b) an inner layer of activated carbon fiber fabric material for adsorbing odor located throughout a majority of the nether garment,
- wherein the outer layer is a non-woven, spunbound polypropylene material,
- wherein the inner layer of activated carbon fiber fabric material is regenerable and comprises a preoxidized, polyacrylonitrile fiber material and a material having nitrides, and
- wherein a majority of the nether garment is permeable and breathable, and conforms to a shape of the at least one body part of the user.
