Patent 10004281 was granted and assigned to VF Imagewear (company) on June, 2018 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The pant of the present invention is specifically inspired and configured for use in the motor vehicle industry. The pant may be scratchless, meaning that the pant does not have any exposed features that are capable of scratching the finish on a motor vehicle. For example, the pant may comprise a concealed waistband closure mechanism. The pant may also comprise a scratchless security pocket, which is predisposed toward a closed position and thus does not require the use of buttons or the like. The pant may also be configured to provide enhanced mobility and comfort, allowing a wearer a range of movements without interference from his or her clothing. For example, the pant may be manufactured from a stretchable material and/or may comprise a waistband that is configured to stretch so as to provide increased mobility and comfort. The pant may also include an articulating, reinforcing knee feature, which provides additional strength to the knee portion of the pant while also providing for a more comfortable bend at the knee. Additionally, the pant may have reinforcement features, such as reinforced pockets or belt loops, which are particularly suitable for use by motor vehicle workers.
