Undergarment with puff shield perspiration blocking system

Abstract

The undertank or lining tee includes a body and a sleeve, in part defining an armpit section aligned with the endocrine glands of the wearer. The armpit section has an interior surface of a given size. A shield is formed of a substantially bean-shaped fabric sheet of a size slightly larger than the size of the armpit section. The fabric sheet has a laminated or coated liquid blocking layer. The sheet is stitched to the interior surface of the armpit section to produce a slight puff or pucker in the shield.

1 . An undergarment comprising a body and a sleeve, in part defining an armpit section aligned with the endocrine glands of the wearer, said section having an interior surface of a given size, and a shield, said shield comprising a substantially bean-shaped fabric sheet of a size slightly larger than said given size of said section, said fabric sheet comprising a liquid blocking layer, and means for stitching said fabric sheet to said interior surface of said section to produce a slight puff or pucker in said shield.  
   
   
       2 . The undergarment of  claim 1  wherein said undergarment is an undertank.  
   
   
       3 . The undergarment of  claim 1  wherein said undergarment is a lining tee.  
   
   
       4 . The undergarment of  claim 1  wherein said fabric sheet comprises polyester.  
   
   
       5 . The undergarment of  claim 1  wherein said liquid blocking layer comprises PVC.  
   
   
       6 . The undergarment of  claim 1  wherein said liquid blocking layer comprises ENA.  
   
   
       7 . The undergarment of  claim 1  wherein said liquid blocking layer comprises GLOWTEK.  
   
   
       8 . The undergarment of  claim 1  wherein said liquid blocking layer is laminated to the side of said fabric facing said section.  
   
   
       9 . The undergarment of  claim 1  wherein said liquid blocking layer is coated to said second sheet.  
   
   
       10 . A method of manufacturing an undergarment with a perspiration blocking shield comprising the steps of: 
 a. forming the undergarment by fabricating a body portion and a sleeve portion and attaching the body portion and sleeve portion together so as to at least partially define an armpit section of a given size adapted to align with the endocrine glands of the wearer;    b. forming a substantially bean-shaped sheet of fabric of a size slightly larger than the given size of the armpit section;    c. forming a liquid barrier layer on the fabric sheet; and    d. stitching the edge of the fabric sheet to the interior of the armpit section to produce a slight puff or pucker in the shield.    
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the undergarment is an undertank.  
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the undergarment is a lining tee.  
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the sheet comprises polyester.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the liquid blocking layer comprises PVC.  
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the liquid blocking layer comprises ENA.  
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the liquid blocking layer comprises GLOWTEXK  
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 11  further comprising the step of laminating the liquid blocking layer to the fabric sheet.  
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 11  further comprising the step of coating the liquid blocking layer on the fabric sheet.
