Description

Hose  trousers
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Hose mit zwei Beinöffnungen, die durch einen Hosensteg der Hose voneinander getrennt sind. The invention relates to a pair of pants with two leg openings which are separated by a trouser bar of the pants.
Bei vielen Menschen, Männern wie Frauen, lockern sich alters- oder krankheitsbedingt, aufgrund einer Bindegewebsschwäche oder in Folge von Operationen die Muskeln und Bänder im Bereich des Harnwegs und insbesondere im Bereich des Beckenbodens, was sich störend durch einen plötzlichen Harndrang oder auch durch eine mehr oder weniger stark ausgeprägte Inkontinenz bemerkbar machen kann (sogenannte Dysfunktion des Beckenbodens) . In many people, both men and women, due to weakness of the connective tissue or as a result of surgery, the muscles and ligaments in the area of the urinary tract and especially in the area of the pelvic floor loosen due to age or illness, which is disturbed by a sudden urination or by one more or less pronounced incontinence (so-called dysfunction of the pelvic floor).
Häufig ist der durch ein regelmäßiges Beckenbodentraining erreichbare Muskelaufbau nicht ausreichend, um eine ausreichende Straffung und Stärkung der gelockerten Muskeln und Bänder im Bereich des Beckenbodens zu erreichen. Um Abhilfe zu schaffen, können Operationen notwendig werden, die eine Re stitution des Beckenbodens einschließlich der Muskeln und Bänder in diesem Bereich mit dem Ziel vorsehen, dass dadurch eine Harn-Inkontinenz zumindest gemindert werden kann. Operationen sind jedoch zum einen mit hohen Kosten, und zum anderen mit erheblichen Belastungen und Risiken für den Patienten verbunden. Frequently, muscle growth achievable through regular pelvic floor exercises is not sufficient to achieve sufficient tightening and strengthening of the loosened muscles and ligaments around the pelvic floor. To remedy this, operations may be necessary to provide for a reconstruction of the pelvic floor, including the muscles and ligaments in this area, with the aim of at least reducing urinary incontinence. On the one hand, surgeries are associated with high costs, and on the other hand with considerable burdens and risks for the patient.
Es besteht daher die Aufgabe, eine Hose der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, mit der sich die Belastungen für den Patienten durch einen plötzlichen Harndrang oder gar durch Harn- Inkontinenz zumindest gemindert oder gar beseitigt werden können . Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht bei der Hose der eingangs erwähnten Art insbesondere darin, dass die Hose zur Minderung oder Beseitigung der Harn-Inkontinenz während des Tragens der Hose durch einen Anwender bestimmt ist, und dass die Hose dazu im Bereich des Hosenstegs einen zur Druckbeaufschlagung des Anwenders im Dammbereich bestimmten Druckkörper aufweist. It is therefore an object to provide a pair of pants of the type mentioned, with which the burden on the patient by a sudden urinary urgency or even by urinary incontinence at least reduced or even eliminated. The solution to this problem is in the pants of the type mentioned in particular that the pants to reduce or eliminate the urinary incontinence while wearing the pants is determined by a user, and that the pants in the area of the trouser bar for pressurizing the user has certain pressure body in the dam area.
Die erfindungsgemäße Hose weist zwei Beinöffnungen auf, die durch einen Hosensteg voneinander getrennt sind, wobei der Hosensteg einen zur Druckbeaufschlagung des Patienten oder Anwenders im Dammbereich bestimmten Druckkörper aufweist. Dieser an der erfindungsgemäßen Hose am Hosensteg vorgesehene Druckkörper drückt auf den Körper des Anwenders im Dammbereich. Durch diesen Druck werden die in diesem Bereich gelockerten Muskeln oder Bänder angehoben und der Harnweg in diesem Bereich gestrafft. Durch diesen kontinuierlichen Druck wird einer Lockerung der Muskeln und Bänder im Dammbereich entgegengewirkt, wodurch ein plötzlicher Harndrang zumindest reduziert und eine mehr oder weniger starke Harn-Inkontinenz des Patienten vermindert werden kann. Auch der Schließmuskel kann durch die natürliche korrekte Lage wieder suffizient arbeiten. Die erfindungsgemäße Hose ist insbesondere in solchen Fällen sinnvoll anwendbar, bei denen ein regelmäßiges Beckenbodentraining nicht stattfindet oder nicht ausreichend ist. Durch die Anwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Hose lassen sich in geeigneten Fällen auch aufwändige Operationen vermeiden. The pants according to the invention has two leg openings, which are separated by a trouser bar, the trouser bar having a pressure body intended for pressurizing the patient or user in the perineal area. This provided on the pants according to the invention on the trouser press body pushes on the body of the user in the perineal area. This pressure raises the muscles or ligaments loosened in this area and tightens the urinary tract in this area. This continuous pressure counteracts a loosening of the muscles and ligaments in the perineal area, which at least reduces sudden urinary urgency and reduces more or less severe urinary incontinence in the patient. Also the sphincter can work sufficiently again by the natural correct situation. The pants according to the invention is useful in particular in those cases where a regular pelvic floor training does not take place or is not sufficient. By using the pants according to the invention can be avoided in appropriate cases and complex operations.
Damit der an der erfindungsgemäßen Hose vorgesehene Druckkörper mit ausreichender Kraft auf den Dammbereich des Patienten einwirken kann, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Hose aus einem elastischen oder gummielastischen Material hergestellt ist. Eine solche, aus elastischem Material hergestellte Hose kann sich besonders eng an den Körper des Anwenders anlegen, so dass auch der Druckkörper mit einem erhöhten Druck auf den Dammbereich des Anwenders einwirkt. In order for the pressure body provided on the trouser according to the invention to act with sufficient force on the perineal area of the patient, it is advantageous if the trousers are made of an elastic or rubber-elastic material. Such pants made of elastic material can Apply particularly tight to the body of the user, so that the pressure body with an increased pressure on the perineal area of the user acts.
Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die erfindungsgemäße Hose aus einem elastischen Gewebe hergestellt oder als ein unter Ver wendung elastischer Fasern hergestelltes Gestrick ausgebildet ist. Ein solches Gewebe oder Gestrick ist vergleichsweise atmungsaktiv und bequem tragbar. Da das Gewebe oder Gestrick gleichzeitig elastisch ist, vermag es sich eng an den Körper des Patienten anzulegen und hier einen Halt aufzubauen, der eine Druckbeaufschlagung des Körpers des Patienten mit Hilfe des Druckkörpers erlaubt. It is advantageous if the pants according to the invention is made of an elastic fabric or formed as a knitted under Ver use elastic fibers fabric. Such a fabric or knit is relatively breathable and comfortable wearable. Since the fabric or knit fabric is elastic at the same time, it is able to fit snugly on the patient's body and build up a hold here, which allows pressurization of the patient's body with the help of the pressure body.
Damit der an der erfindungsgemäßen Hose vorgesehene Druckkörper mit ausreichender Kraft auf den Dammbereich des Anwenders einwirken kann, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn in die Hose ein elastischer und gegebenenfalls auch längenverstellbarer Gürtel eingezogen ist. In order for the pressure body provided on the trouser according to the invention to act with sufficient force on the perineum area of the user, it is advantageous if an elastic and optionally also length-adjustable belt is pulled into the trousers.
Zusätzlich oder stattdessen kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn an der Hose ein Hosenträger gehalten ist. Additionally or instead, it may be advantageous if a suspenders is held on the pants.
Dabei sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung vor, dass der Hosenträger vorder- und/oder rückseitig zwei Traggurte hat. Ein solcher Hosenträger, der vorder- oder rückseitig zwei Traggurte hat, kann die auf die Hose einwirkenden Zugkräfte der Traggurte in etwa gleichmäßig verteilen . In this case, a preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the suspenders front and / or rear has two straps. Such a braces, which has two straps on the front or back, can distribute the tensile forces of the straps on the pants approximately evenly.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Hose als Unterhose ausgestaltet ist. Insbesondere eine als Unterhose ausgebildete Hose kann mit ihrem Druckkörper unmittelbar auf den Dammbereich des Anwenders einwirken. It is particularly advantageous if the pants are designed as underpants. In particular, trained as underpants Pants can act with their pressure body directly on the dam area of the user.
Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung, die eine unmittelbare Druckbeaufschlagung des Körpers des Anwenders mit Hilfe des Druckkörpers erlaubt, sieht vor, dass der Druckkörper auf der Innenseite der Hose vorgesehen ist. A preferred embodiment according to the invention, which allows an immediate pressurization of the body of the user by means of the pressure body, provides that the pressure body is provided on the inside of the pants.
Um eine möglichst hohe Druckkraft auf den Körper des Anwenders aufbringen zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Druckkörper zumindest in einem Teilbereich nocken- oder etwa halbkugelförmig ausgebildet ist. In order to be able to apply the highest possible compressive force to the body of the user, it is advantageous if the pressure body is cam-shaped or approximately hemispherical, at least in a partial area.
Eine vergleichsweise hohe Druckkraft lässt sich auf den Damm bereich des Anwenders aufbringen, wenn der Druckkörper einen stegförmigen und in Richtung zu einer Hosenrückseite hochge zogenen Teilbereich hat. Ein solcher Druckkörper, der auch einen in Richtung zu einer Hosenrückseite hochgezogenen Teilbereich hat, wirkt auch mit einer nach oben in Richtung zum Körper des Anwenders gerichteten Kraftkomponente auf den Dammbereich ein. A comparatively high compressive force can be applied to the dam area of the user when the pressure body has a web-shaped and in the direction of a trouser back hochge attracted portion. Such a pressure body, which also has a raised towards a pants back portion, also acts with a directed upward toward the body of the user force component on the perineal area.
Damit die erzeugte Druckkraft möglichst ungemindert auf den Dammbereich des Anwenders übertragen wird, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn der Druckkörper aus einem harten, hart elastischen und/oder unnachgiebigem Material hergestellt ist. Thus, the generated compressive force is transmitted as unimpeded as possible to the dam area of the user, it is advantageous if the pressure body is made of a hard, hard elastic and / or unyielding material.
Um stets eine genaue Positionierung des Druckkörpers im ge wünschten Bereich des Damms sicherzustellen, ist es vorteil haft, wenn der Druckkörper mit dem Material der Hose unver rückbar verbunden ist. Weiterbildungen gemäß der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Figuren in Verbindung mit den Ansprüchen sowie der Beschreibung. Nachstehend wird die Erfindung anhand bevorzugter Ausführungsbeispiele noch näher beschrieben. In order to always ensure accurate positioning of the pressure hull in ge wished area of the dam, it is advantageous if the pressure hull is connected to the material of the pants unver rückbar. Further developments according to the invention will become apparent from the figures in conjunction with the claims and the description. The invention will be described in more detail below with reference to preferred embodiments.

Die Hosen 1, 10 die als lange Hosen mit Hosenbeinen ausgestaltet oder - wie hier - als sogenannte kurze Hosen ohne solche Hosenbeine ausgebildet sein können, sind hier als Unterhosen ausgeführt. Während die in den Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigte Hose eine Herren-Unterhose ist, ist demgegenüber die in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellte Hose 10 als Damen-Unterhose ausgestaltet . In the figures 1 to 4, a pair of trousers in two versions 1, 10 is shown. The pants 1, 10 have two leg openings 2, 3, which are separated by a trouser bar 4 of the pants 1, 10. The trousers 1, 10 which are designed as long trousers with trouser legs or - as here - can be designed as so-called shorts without such trouser legs, are here designed as underpants. While in the figures 1 and 2 pants shown is a men's pants, in contrast, the pants 10 shown in Figures 3 and 4 is designed as a women's pants.
Die in den Figuren 1 bis 4 gezeigten Hosen 1, 10 sind zur Minderung oder Beseitigung der Harn-Inkontinenz während des Tragens der Hose durch einen Anwender bestimmt. Die Hosen 1, 10 weisen dazu im Bereich des Hosenstegs 4 einen zur Druck beaufschlagung des Anwenders im Dammbereich bestimmten Druckkörper 5 bzw. 6 auf. Dieser am Hosensteg 4 vorgesehene Druckkörper 5, 6 drückt auf den Körper des Anwenders imThe pants 1, 10 shown in Figs. 1 through 4 are intended to reduce or eliminate urinary incontinence during wear of the pants by a user. For this purpose, the trousers 1, 10 have, in the region of the trouser bar 4, a pressure body 5 or 6 intended to pressurize the user in the dam area. This provided on the trouser bar 4 pressure body 5, 6 presses on the body of the user in

This pressure lifts the muscles or ligaments of the user loosened in this area and tightens the urinary tract in this area. This continuous pressure counteracts a loosening of the muscles and ligaments in the perineal area of the user, which at least reduces a sudden urge to urinate and a more or less severe incontinence of the user can be reduced. The pants shown here are particularly useful in cases where a regular pelvic floor training does not take place or is not sufficient. By using the pants 1, 10 can be avoided in appropriate cases, even complex operations.
Damit der vorzugsweise an der Innenseite der Hose 1, 10 un verrückbar gehaltene Druckkörper 5, 6 mit ausreichendem Druck auf den Dammbereich des Anwenders einwirken kann, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Hosen 1, 10 aus einem gummielastischen oder elastischen Material hergestellt sind. Dabei wird eine Ausführung bevorzugt, bei welcher die Hose 1, 10 als ein unterIn order for the pressure body 5, 6, which is preferably held unequally on the inside of the pants 1, 10, to be able to act with sufficient pressure on the dam area of the user, it is advantageous if the pants 1, 10 are made of a rubber-elastic or elastic material. In this case, an embodiment is preferred in which the pants 1, 10 as an under
Verwendung elastischer Fasern hergestelltes Gestrick ausge bildet ist. Ein solches Gestrick ist vergleichsweise at mungsaktiv und bequem tragbar. Da das Gewebe elastisch ist, vermag es sich eng an den Körper des Patienten anzulegen und hier einen Halt aufzubauen, der eine Druckbeaufschlagung des Körpers des Anwenders mittels des Druckkörpers 5, 6 erlaubt. Use made of elastic fibers knitted fabric is formed. Such a knit is comparatively breathable and comfortably portable. Because the fabric is elastic, It is possible to fit snugly on the patient's body and to build up a grip here, which allows pressurization of the user's body by means of the pressure body 5, 6.
Um eine möglichst feste und sichere Druckbeaufschlagung zu begünstigen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn in die Hose 1, 10 ein elastischer und gegebenenfalls auch längenverstellbarer Gürtel eingezogen ist. Zusätzlich oder stattdessen kann an der Hose 1, 10 auch ein hier allerdings nicht weiter gezeigter Hosenträger gehalten sein. Damit dieser Hosenträger die auf die Hose 1, 10 einwirkenden Kräfte gleichmäßig verteilen kann, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Hosenträger vorder- und/oder rückseitig zwei Traggurte hat. In order to promote the most solid and safe pressurization, it is advantageous if in the pants 1, 10 an elastic and optionally also adjustable length belt is retracted. In addition, or instead of the trousers 1, 10, a suspenders not shown here, however, be kept. In order for this suspenders to be able to distribute the forces acting on the trousers 1, 10 evenly, it is advantageous for the suspenders to have two straps at the front and / or at the back.
Um eine möglichst hohe Druckkraft auf den Körper des Anwenders aufbringen zu können, sind diese Druckkörper 5, 6 zumindest in einem Teilbereich 9 nocken- oder halbkugelförmig ausgebildet. Anhand dem in den Figuren 3 und 4 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel 10 ist veranschaulicht, dass der Druckkörper 6 auch einen stegförmigen und in Richtung zu einer Hosenrückseite hochgezogenen Teilbereich 7 aufweisen kann. Da der Druckkörper 6 durch diesen hochgezogenen Teilbereich 7 auf den Dammbereich des Anwenders auch mit einer in Richtung zum Körper des Anwenders gerichteten Kraftkomponente einwirkt, lassen sich besonders hohe Druckkräfte auf den Dammbereich des Anwenders aufbringen. Damit die erzeugte Druckkraft möglichst ungemindert auf den Dammbereich des Patienten übertragen wird, ist der Druckkörper 5, 6 aus einem harten oder unnachgiebigen Material hergestellt. Um eine genaue Positionierung des Druckkörpers 5, 6 im gewünschten Bereich des Damms sicherzustellen, ist dieser Druckkörper 5, 6 mit dem Material der Hose 1, 10 unverrückbar verbunden. Die in den Figuren 3 und 4 gezeigte Damen-Unterhose ist in ihrem dem Schambereich zugewandten Teilbereich 8 gabelförmig ausgebildet, wobei sich diese gabelförmigen Teilbereiche besonders gut beidseits in den Leisten des Anwenders positionieren können, wo sie nicht weiter stören. In order to be able to apply the highest possible compressive force to the body of the user, these pressure bodies 5, 6 are designed to be cam-shaped or hemispherical, at least in a partial region 9. Based on the embodiment 10 shown in Figures 3 and 4, it is illustrated that the pressure body 6 may also have a web-shaped and in the direction of a trouser back raised portion 7. Since the pressure body 6 acts through this raised portion 7 on the perineal area of the user with a directed toward the body of the user force component, particularly high pressure forces can be applied to the dam area of the user. So that the generated compressive force is transmitted as undiminished as possible to the perineal area of the patient, the pressure body 5, 6 is made of a hard or unyielding material. In order to ensure accurate positioning of the pressure body 5, 6 in the desired area of the dam, this pressure body 5, 6 is immovably connected to the material of the pants 1, 10. The ladies' underpants shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are in their part of the region facing the pubic region 8 bifurcated, with these forked portions can position particularly well on both sides in the bars of the user, where they do not bother.
