Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a simple waterproof device for use in jewelry such as rings and watches, or for dressing wounds such as cuts on fingers.

Traditionally, when working with water such as cooking or washing clothes, washing your face, bathing, etc., when working with water, you must remove jewelry such as rings and watches from your hands each time before doing the above work, or put the jewelry on your hands. They were doing water work etc. in Tama).

However, while the former has the advantage that there is no need to worry about the jewelry getting wet, it is difficult to remove the jewelry, and as a result, it is difficult to avoid misplacing the jewelry or losing it to the sewer.

In the latter case, the relationship is completely opposite to the former, and while the disadvantages of the former are completely eliminated, the accessories may get wet with water, be immersed in water or detergent, or be rubbed against tableware, laundry, etc. It was difficult to avoid damage to the jewelry itself due to accidents or collisions.

Furthermore, if you do the above-mentioned washing work, washing your face, bathing, etc. with a hand that has a cut such as a cut on your finger, etc., wrap the wound in advance with a bandage, apply a needle shield, or wear rubber gloves. and went on.

However, each of these methods has its advantages and disadvantages, and is still not sufficient.

This idea was devised to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and its purpose is that when working with water such as cooking, washing clothes, washing your face, bathing, etc., you should not use jewelry such as rings or watches. Effectively isolates it from water without having to remove it from your hands,
To avoid the trouble of removing jewelry and the resulting misplacement, loss of it to the sewer, damage to the jewelry itself due to immersion in water or detergent, friction or collision with tableware, laundry, etc.) It is designed to be able to flexibly deal with the uneven shape of the skin without tearing the covering part, and also to prevent water from directly entering the wound when doing water work etc. with a hand that has a cut on the finger etc. It is possible to work easily and reliably in a waterproof state without giving a feeling of pressure to the finger, etc., and even if the cuff covering is relatively wide, the retaining part can be engaged in a much narrower area, and the finger To provide generally inexpensively a simple waterproofing device devised so as not to cause any trouble even in the work of bending objects.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a waterproofing device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, which includes a sub-length and a covering portion 2 of a waterproof rubber-like thin film sheet, which are selected so as to satisfy the relationship that will become clear from below. and a pair of mutually easily removable attachments such as Velcro, which are disposed at both longitudinal ends of the mutually opposing portions of the covering part 2 by means of attachment means such as adhesive, welding, or integral shape. It consists of engaging parts 3a and 3b.

The envelope part 2 is formed of a sheet-like member of a thin rubber-like film, for example, a thin-film sheet-like member such as natural rubber latex or synthetic rubber latex (including some types of plastics), and in this example, a natural rubber latex sheet with a thickness of 30 μm is used. using
The length in the longitudinal force direction in its normal state is selected to be equal to or shorter than the circumferential length of the part to which it is applied, such as the length around the finger or the length around the wrist.

In addition, the length of the short side of the covering part 2 in the force direction is the length of each engaging part 3a and 3b.
It is dimensioned to be longer than the length in this direction, and the middle part thereof has a wavy peg shape as shown in FIGS. 1, 4, and 5.

As shown in FIG. 2, the relatively wide covering portion 2 is bent into a wave peg-like cross-sectional shape in the transverse direction at the location where each of the engaging portions 3a and 3b are arranged. The length in this direction is substantially equal to or slightly longer than the length in this direction.

The waterproofing device 1 according to the present invention formed as described above has a back surface of one of the engaging portions 3a or 3b, that is, a covering, at the place where it is applied, as shown in FIGS. Hold the surface of part 2 in contact with the relevant part so that it can be wound around the part (see Figure 3a), and hold the relevant part with another finger, etc., and place the other retaining part 3b or 3a on the relevant part. Attachment to the application site is accomplished by winding the device around the device (see Figure 3) and engaging both engaging portions 3a and 3b.

In this case, especially in the case of a ring having a jewel (which is more generally a combination of a ring-shaped part and a protruding part connected to a part of the part), the middle part of the enveloping part 2 is It is preferable that the winding be done so as to be located on the protruding part that has the jewel, so that the middle part of the wide enveloping part 2 sufficiently covers the entire protruding part, and the enveloping part 2 itself has appropriate elasticity. Note that the force ensures a tight seal between the finger and the finger.

FIGS. 4 and 5 are views showing another embodiment of the present invention, respectively, and are different from the embodiment described above except that the position of the engaging part in the envelope part is different from that described in the previous embodiment. The same is true.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, one of the engaging parts (in the illustrated case, the engaging part 3a) is appropriately spaced inward so that the free end part 4 is provided at one longitudinal end of the envelope part 2. Attachment to the application site is similarly accomplished by bringing the free end portion 4 into contact with the application site and further winding the intermediate portion of the wrapping portion 2 thereon. .

This has the advantage that the double-wound portion can more reliably prevent water from entering between the retaining portions, which may occur at the engaging portion of the engaging portion in the embodiment described above.

Furthermore, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, both engaging parts 3a and 3b are arranged inwardly so that the free end portions 4 described in the second embodiment are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the envelope part 2. This allows for winding from either side during installation.

On the other hand, the size and shape of the above-mentioned engaging part may be any shape as long as it is larger than the width (which is to be waterproofed) and small enough so as not to impede the movement of the fingers or hand. When the engaging part is made of Velcro and the retaining part is attached to the enveloping part by adhesive means to form a waterproof device for a ring, as illustrated in FIG. Approximately 8 Trr! IL is made into an elliptical planar shape with a short axis of approximately 5771 m, and when attaching to the cover part 2, a member similar to the cover part 2 is adhered to the non-engaging surface of the Velcro tape, and the cover part is attached on top of it. This should be accomplished by gluing the predetermined portions of the two as described above.

Creating an elliptical planar shape reduces the elasticity of the adhesion site of the enveloping part 2 and the vicinity thereof due to solidification of the adhesive, so having an acute solidified area reduces the envelopment at this area. To avoid the occurrence of damage to the parts and to provide a backing member on the non-engaging surface of the Velcro tape in advance,
This makes the adhesion work much easier than direct adhesion between a flat Velcro tape and a corrugated peg-like rubber thin film sheet member.

As can be seen from the above description, this invention includes a covering part made of an elongated waterproof sheet member made of a thin rubber-like film, and both longitudinal ends or one longitudinal end of opposing parts of the covering part. a pair of mutually removable engaging parts disposed at positions each having a free end portion extending outward on both end sides, and the length of the covering part in the short direction is equal to the length of the engaging part. is selected to be longer than the length of the part in that direction,
The length of the covering part in the lateral direction at the joint part with the engaging part is in a contracted state so as to form a wave peg-like cross-sectional shape so that it is substantially equal to or slightly longer than the engaging part. Since it is a simple waterproofing device that is fixed, it can effectively isolate jewelry such as rings and watches from water without having to remove them from the hands during work involving water, and eliminates the hassle of removing jewelry. It is possible to avoid damage to the jewelry itself due to misplacement, loss to drains, immersion in water or detergent, friction or collision with tableware, laundry, etc.) Not only can it be flexibly handled without tearing the covering part, which has a local wave peg shape in the transverse direction, but also the covering part can be adjusted arbitrarily according to the size of the jewelry or the wound. It is something that can be expanded.

In addition, when doing laundry work with a hand that has a cut on a finger, etc., the elongated covering part of the rubber-like thin film sheet with moderate elasticity allows it to be directly applied to the wound without giving a feeling of pressure to the finger. It has the excellent effect of being completely encapsulated to prevent water from entering, and allowing work to be done simply and reliably in a waterproof state.

Moreover, even if the envelope is relatively wide in the lateral direction,
The engaging part can be engaged in a much narrower area, and it is convenient for work that involves bending the joints of fingers etc., and it can be made at low cost as a simple waterproof device in this type of field, and its practical use. It can be said that the value is extremely large.

Alternatively, as in the embodiment shown in FIG. By arranging the free end portion 4 at a spaced apart position, attachment to the application site can be similarly accomplished by bringing the free end portion 4 into contact with the application site and further winding the middle portion of the wrapping portion 2 thereon. Ru.

This has the advantage that the double-wound portion can more reliably prevent water from entering between the engaging portions, which may occur in the engaging portions of the aforementioned embodiments.

Furthermore, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the joining parts 3a and 3b are arranged inwardly so that the free end portions 4 described in the second embodiment are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the envelope part 2. This allows winding from either side when installed.
