Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a pair of pants of adjustable size, designed in particular for motorcycling. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART [0002] As the morphology of motorcyclists may vary, it is necessary, for the same size of pants, to adapt the length of the legs for each wearer. [0003] It is thus possible for a manufacturer to provide several leg lengths for the same size of pants. However, this solution is not satisfactory as it means that many models have to be stored at the manufacturer's or retailer's premises. [0004] Consequently, retailers often order pants in a single leg length and then hem them themselves or hire somebody to do so. [0005] Motorcycle pants have a knee protector on each leg. However, the difference in morphology among motorcyclists means that it is not possible, a priori, to position these protectors in the right place for each wearer. [0006] Motorcycle pants are moreover designed to be worn on the outside, in conditions in which the wearing of a belt is not desirable from the user's viewpoint. However, it is desirable to be able to adjust the pants at the waist. [0007] It thus appears that the motorcycle pants known in the prior art are not adapted to the morphology of motorcyclists, making them uncomfortable and preventing the protectors from being effective. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0008] To solve this technical problem, the aim of the present invention is to provide a pair of pants of adjustable size, making it possible to adapt the pants to a morphology, without prior alteration, and to position the protectors in the right place to ensure their effectiveness. [0009] To this end, the present invention relates to a pair of adjustable pants which comprises, at the end of each leg, an attachment strip of a first type and at least two attachment strips of a second type set back from the end of each leg, in which the end of each leg can be folded back to form a hem, the attachment strip of the first type becoming fastened to one of the attachment strips of the second type, and which comprises at least two pockets at two different heights on each leg, each pocket being capable of housing a knee protector. [0010] This arrangement makes it possible to adapt, without sewing, the length of the legs to the morphology of the motorcyclist and to position the protectors in the right place on the knee. [0011] Advantageously, the attachment strips are positioned substantially parallel to the end opening in the leg of the pants. [0012] According to one advantageous feature, the attachment strips are located on the inside face of each leg of the pants. Thus, the excess fabric of each leg is kept on the inside, thus not adversely affecting the appearance of the clothing. [0013] Advantageously, at least one pocket is positioned on the inside of the leg of the pants. [0014] According to one embodiment, at least one pocket has a reclosable opening. [0015] Advantageously, the pants have a belt comprising, at both ends, two attachment strips of a first type designed to attach on to two attachment strips, respectively, of a second type located on the waist of the pants. [0016] According to one embodiment, the pants comprise a loop extending across the whole of the back of the waist, to hold the belt. [0017] Advantageously, the attachment strips of a first and second type are male and female textile attachment strips with hooks and loops, respectively, for example of the type known under the trademark Velcro. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0018] The invention will be more clearly understood with the aid of the following description, with reference to the attached schematic drawing showing an embodiment of this pair of pants.
