| مستخلص: | An undergarment having an internal pouch for shielding male genitalia from radiation as well as separating the scrotum from the inner thighs, the undergarment providing a crotch gusset defining an anterior opening of the undergarment. An anterior panel depends from the waistband of the undergarment adjacent to the anterior opening. A barrier layer extends downwardly in a sloped configuration between the waistband and a posterior portion of the crotch gusset. A longitudinal slit formed in and centrally located in the barrier layer allows the male genitalia to be received in a phallic pouch defined by the anterior panel. A lateral connection between each of two opposing lateral edges of the barrier layer and the crotch gusset defines a gap between the anterior panel and the barrier layer as well as define a scrotal pouch disposed posterior to pendulous pouch. |

| Claim: | 1. An undergarment having an internal pouch for shielding male genitalia from radiation as well as separating the scrotum from the inner thighs, the undergarment comprising: a crotch gusset interconnecting two leg holes of the undergarment, wherein an anterior edge of the crotch gusset defines an anterior opening of the undergarment; an anterior panel depending from a superior portion of the undergarment adjacent the anterior opening; a barrier layer extending in a sloped configuration between said superior portion to a posterior portion of the crotch gusset; a lateral connection between each of two opposing lateral edges of the barrier layer and the crotch gusset, wherein the lateral connections extend between said anterior edge and said posterior portion of the crotch gusset, thereby defining a gap between each lateral connection and the anterior panel and below the superior portion; and an inferior edge of the anterior panel connected to said anterior edge of the crotch gusset so as to form an inflection point between a phallic pouch and a scrotal pouch posterior thereof. |
| Claim: | 2. The undergarment of claim 1 , wherein the phallic pouch is configured to accommodate a penis of a wearer of the undergarment. |
| Claim: | 3. The undergarment of claim 2 , wherein the scrotal pouch is configured to accommodate a scrotum of the wearer of the undergarment. |
| Claim: | 4. The undergarment of claim 1 , wherein the anterior panel and the barrier layer comprise radiation blocking material. |
| Claim: | 5. The undergarment of claim 1 , wherein an anterior connection directly connects the barrier layer and the superior portion. |
| Claim: | 6. The undergarment of claim 1 , wherein a posterior connection directly connects the barrier layer and said posterior portion. |
| Claim: | 7. The undergarment of claim 1 , further comprising a front panel depending directly from said superior portion, wherein an inferior edge of the front panel defines, in part, a superior edge to the anterior opening. |
| Claim: | 8. The undergarment of claim 7 , wherein a superior edge of the anterior panel directly connects to the front panel. |
| Claim: | 9. The undergarment of claim 1 , wherein the superior portion is a waistband. |
| Claim: | 10. The undergarment of claim 9 , wherein the waistband is superior to a superior edge of the anterior panel. |
| Claim: | 11. The undergarment of claim 1 , wherein the inflection point is defined by a distal medial edge, wherein the scrotal pouch depends lower than the phallic pouch relative to the distal medial edge. |
| Claim: | 12. The undergarment of claim 11 , wherein the distal medial edge acts as a weight bearing connection from which the scrotal pouch and the phallic pouch bear. |
| Claim: | 13. The undergarment of claim 1 , wherein the anterior panel defines a curvature along a bottom portion of the phallic pouch. |
