Insect-repelling leg garment

摘要

An insect-repelling leg garment primarily configured with a tubular member and a semi-conical section fabricated from fabric sheeting impregnated with an insect-repelling solution. The semi-conical section includes an elastic strap configured to engage a structural feature of an article of clothing. The tubular member includes a lower portion having a first circumferential passage for accommodating therewithin a drawstring equipped with a drawstring tie for closing and sealing an annular opening formed by a circular wall section and one's leg. An elastic circular band positioned at the lower portion simultaneously engages loops connected to the lower portion and encircles around one's foot such as to oppose the upward tensioning caused by the elastic strap, whereby the insect repellency inherently present within the fabric sheeting and the structural barriers inherently present within the leg garment collectively serve to protect the lower extremities of one's body against biting insects.

1. An insect-repelling leg garment wearable on a person, the person having an outer hip area associated with a leg having an outer surficial portion, an ankle region and a foot fitted with footwear when the footwear is worn by the person, the footwear having tie string ends capable of being tied together, said leg garment comprising, in combination:
a piece of fabric sheeting impregnated with an insect-repelling solution and having a triangular upper portion, a rectangular portion and an outward side, said rectangular portion having first and second edges configurably arranged to engage and partially overlap one another and connectively joined therealong to form a tubular member and a semi-conical section; upper supporting means attached to said semi-conical section for supporting said semi-conical section substantially about the outer hip area; an annular closing assembly for structurally closing and sealing an annular opening formed by said tubular member and the outer surficial portion of the leg, said annular closing assembly having a first circumferential passage present about said tubular member and a second circumferential passage stackably arranged atop of said first circumferential passage, said first circumferential passage having a drawstring contained therewithin and said second circumferential passage having a foam core contained therewithin; and lower retaining means attached to said tubular member for retaining a lower portion of the tubular member relatively about the ankle region and opposing said upper supporting means to establish a taut relationship entirely about and along said tubular member and said semi-conical section.
