[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, wherein 1 is incontinence pants, 2 is pants fabric thereof, 3 is a crotch portion, 4 is a thigh circumference portion, and 5 is a waist rubber portion to which a lace 5a is attached. On the back side of the crotch portion 3, a soft water-absorbing / water-retaining sheet 6 is sewn from the lower abdomen to the buttocks. Are formed. The lace 5a is not attached to the men's pants.

At the front of one side of the pants 1, there is provided a dividing portion 8 divided vertically from the waist rubber portion 5 to the thigh circumference portion 4. The dividing portion 8 is divided so that the dividing portion 8 can be easily opened and closed. A pair of hook-and-loop fasteners 9 is sewn to two overlapping surfaces of the portion 8, and a hook 10 is attached to a lower portion thereof as a stopper for securely maintaining the closed state of the divided portion 8.

When the pants 1 are to be replaced, it is only necessary to open the divided portion 8 and pass one leg from the other thigh circumference 4, so that the pants 1 can be easily replaced. You don't need to lower your pants when replacing
Exchange is easy.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which the lower part of the dividing portion 8 is opened halfway. The hook-and-loop fastener 9 is commonly used for joining and separating cloths, and comprises two fastener pieces 9a and 9b. An infinite number of thin elastic hooks made of plastic material provided on one of the pieces are engaged with an infinite number of elastic loops of the same material provided on the other piece and locked.

The hook 10 is of a type commonly used as a fastener for clothes, in which the male portion 10a is elastically held in the female portion 10b. A strong locking force is used to prevent the hook-and-loop fastener 9 from opening naturally due to movement of the body during wearing. Note that a hook-shaped stopper or button can be used instead of the hook 10.

Although the hook-and-loop fastener 9 may be used for the above-mentioned divided portion 8 without using a fastener, if the hook-and-loop fastener 9 is attached to the lower end of the divided portion 8, the fastener pieces 9a, 9a,
Since the rough surface of the lower end of 9b is likely to come into contact with the skin, it is preferable to mount the fastener pieces 9a and 9b so that there is a soft cloth portion under the fastener pieces 9a and 9b. Then, if a stopper such as a hook is attached to this portion, the feeling of roughness is eliminated and the engagement is ensured.

The pants 11 shown in FIG. 3 correspond to the pants 1 shown in FIG.
Similarly to the above, the split part 8 is provided on the front side of one side of the pants, but the split part 12 is also provided on the front side of the other side, and is the same as that used for the split part 8 here. The hook-and-loop fastener 9 and the hook 10 are attached. If the split portions 8 and 12 are provided on both sides so that the pants can be opened forward, there is no need to move the pants along the legs when replacing the pants, and the replacement becomes extremely easy. Even when the auxiliary water absorbing sheet is replaced with the auxiliary water absorbing sheet, the handling becomes extremely easy.

As shown in FIG. 4, the water-absorbing / water-retaining sheet 6 has a brushed layer A having a soft feel from the surface, a diffusion layer B which allows water to pass through and absorbs water, and a water-absorbing layer C which has high water absorption. And a waterproof film f made of a thin synthetic resin film, which is continuously formed of a fiber material and is impermeable to water, is bonded to the outermost layer. Since the raised layer A, the diffusion layer B, and the water absorption layer C have air permeability and a gap that holds air, even if moisture is absorbed from a portion that is in close contact with the human body, this moisture is dispersed in a portion that does not adhere to the human body. As a result, the humidity does not locally increase and the feeling of stuffiness is reduced. Even if the raised layer (a) is wet with urine, a dry feeling can be obtained by the air layer coexisting with the raised hair. In addition, as the waterproof film f, it is also preferable to use a film having a myriad of small holes and allowing moisture to pass through but not water.

As shown in FIG. 5, a water-repellent edge 7 comprising a front water-repellent edge 7a, both side water-repellent edges 7b, and a rear water-repellent edge 7c is formed on the entire periphery of the water-absorbing / water-retaining sheet 6. Have been. The outer periphery of the water-repellent edge 7 is sewn to the back of the crotch portion 3 with a thread 13. Of these, the side water-repellent edge 7b side is located inside the thigh circumference 4 of the pants fabric 2 and sewn, so that the edge of the thigh circumference 4 is not thickened, and the appearance and the ease of wearing are improved. However, the water-repellent edge 7b may be arranged at the same position as the thigh circumference 4, and there is no practical problem for incontinence.

When the pants 1 or 11 are worn and incontinence occurs, urine enters the diffusion layer B from the raised layer A of the water absorption / water retention sheet 6, diffuses widely, enters the water absorption layer C, and diffuses in the water absorption layer C. The urine is absorbed while being absorbed, and the absorbed urine is retained by the waterproof film f to prevent outflow. Even if a part of urine tries to flow out through the upper surface or the inside of the water-absorbing / water-retaining sheet 6, it is repelled by the water-repellent edge 7, stays in the sheet 6, and is held while being diffused. The urine will flow toward the side water-repellent edge 7b when the user is in the standing posture, toward the front water-repellent edge 7a when the user is prone, and toward the rear water-repellent edge 7c when facing the back. However, it is blocked by the water-repellent action of the water-repellent edge 7 at each position.

FIG. 6 shows a water-absorbing / water-retaining sheet 6 in which the sewing structure of the water-repellent tape is changed from that of FIG.
The front end is sewn with the front water-repellent edge 7a, the rear end is sewn with the rear water-repellent edge 7c, and the side end of the thigh is wrapped around the thigh of the pants fabric 2. The front water-repellent rim 7a and the rear water-repellent rim 7c are overlapped with the part 4 and the pants 13
And the thigh circumference 4 of the pants fabric 2 together with the thigh circumference of the sheet 6 is wrapped and sewn with a water repellent tape to form a thigh circumference water repellent edge 7d, and the entire circumference is surrounded by the water repellent edge. Also in the pants 11, leakage of urine from the water-absorbing / water-retaining sheet 6 is prevented by the water-repellent rim surrounding the entire circumference.

As an auxiliary water-absorbing sheet for auxiliary use in each pants, the brushed layer A, the diffusion layer B, and the water-absorbing layer C are smaller than the water-absorbing / water-retaining sheet 6 as shown in FIG. And a water repellent tape wrapped and sewn over the entire periphery of the layered body formed by bonding the waterproof film f to the outermost layer. Further, it is possible to use a layer made of only a fiber material without the waterproof film f, and to provide a non-fraying overlock sewing around the layer, or a sheet sewn with a water-permeable tape.

These auxiliary water-absorbing sheets have a structure in which hook-and-loop fasteners are attached at several places around the outer surface.
More than one sheet can be prepared, and this hook-and-loop fastener can be detachably engaged with the water-absorbing / water-retaining sheet 6 of each pants and used interchangeably. Each of the above pants and this auxiliary water absorbing sheet,
It can be used repeatedly by washing.

[0022]

As is clear from the above description, according to the first aspect of the present invention, incontinence urine is absorbed by the water-absorbing / water-retaining sheet, and goes out of the water-absorbing / water-retaining sheet by the water-repellent edge provided on the entire circumference. This is effective in that the pants can be easily replaced by opening the one or both sides of the pants. Has an effect.

According to the means of the second aspect, there is an effect that the thigh circumference is not thickened, the appearance is good, and it is easy to wear.

According to the third aspect, incontinence urine is absorbed by the water-absorbing / water-retaining sheet, and is prevented from flowing out by the water-repellent edge provided on the entire periphery. Since the sewing of the thigh circumference only needs to be performed once, the manufacturing method is simple.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, even if a strong force is applied to open the hook-and-loop fastener from the body, there is a stopper with strong fixing force at the most easily opened lower end of the hook-and-loop fastener. There is an effect that opening of the hook-and-loop fastener is prevented.
