DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a self-help support and nursing underpants, and more particularly, to a self-support and nursing underpants which can be easily attached and detached by a user.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the transition to an aging society in Japan, it has become necessary to support the living of the elderly and the physically handicapped and to develop and supply various support equipment to support this. Is coming.

[0003] In order for those who have reduced physical motor function, those who have handicap, and those who need nursing support, to gain independence in daily clothes and to be able to attach and detach them relatively easily, There is also a particular need at present to make it possible for the work of a nursing supporter to be easily performed taking into account the mental and physical environment of the supportee.

[0004] Changing and removing clothes, especially underwear, is one of the basic activities of daily life. However, when physical function deteriorates, there are situations where it is difficult to do so. For example, when putting on pants, pass one leg through one hole of the pants and then, when passing through the other hole, stand on one leg or lean on something,
If the leg strength is reduced or if the joint is damaged, these actions themselves are very difficult. Also, when the nurse performs the same action on the nursing person, it is an action of raising the body upward with the legs held on both feet. In addition, when undressing, since the act of pulling it down, the nurse immediately exposes his body, giving a feeling of mental humiliation. These facts make people healthy,
This is due to the fact that it is compatible with these handy caps as an extension of the sound daily routine.

[0005] Furthermore, the recognition and prejudice that the human body is symmetrical is based on the fact that the clothes worn by humans are basically designed symmetrically. This is of course justifiable when acting in clothing. But,
It should be noted that the act of putting on and taking off clothes is not symmetrical.

[0006] For those with the above handicap where the act of undressing rather than the act of work is a concern, there should therefore be clothing designed in line with the act of undressing.

Usually, shorts or pants have a forked structure in which both left and right legs are inserted. Of course, in general, clothes are worn as a series of unit actions of passing one leg up and the other leg up through the next crotch. At this time, the distance between the leg opening of the shorts or pants and the tip of the foot in the first act is almost arbitrary, and it is easy to insert one foot tip into the leg opening of the pants. On the other hand, the next time you insert the other foot, the position of the opening is restricted by the one foot
It is difficult to put the other foot tip into the leg opening of the pants. This poses a particular difficulty in clothing, especially for the elderly with reduced or ill motor function or those with handicap.

It is said that the bedridden elderly and the nursing person on the sickbed often have shame and sometimes feel humiliation especially when changing underwear. This means that nursing often needs to be improved and improved according to the logic of the caregiver. In particular, in the case of changing underwear, one of the acts of pulling it down is that, for example, exposing the pubic area at once to a white day is performed without any thought.
If these actions are performed on simple actions of two or three steps instead of one step, it will be greatly improved mentally.

[0009]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a waist portion, a boring portion into which one leg of a user enters, a crotch portion, and a waist of the user are provided. A front side portion and a rear side portion covering one side of the front side, and the front side portion and the rear side portion include a stopper for removably connecting the front side portion and the rear side portion. When the rear part is connected,
A self-help support and nursing underpatch are provided, wherein a second bore section into which the other leg of the user enters is formed.

[0010] In the present specification, "underpants" means men's and women's underwear for covering at least the pubic area, and includes shorts, pants, panties, trunks, briefs and the like.

According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, a front skirt portion is provided at a front portion. When this front skirt portion is provided, when wearing the self-help support and nursing underpants, it looks as if they are wearing a skirt when viewed from the front.

For example, the front skirt is connected at its upper end to the waist portion, at its right or left side edge to the rear side portion, or at its right or left side edge. It is connected to Tsu support and other parts of the nursing base.

[0013]

According to the present invention, one of the lower leg portions is not formed in a cylindrical shape, but is cut and opened to form a culott skirt shape (wound skirt shape). That is, unlike ordinary shorts and pants, the structure and function are changed on the left and right, so that it is designed to be able to cope with a continuous unit operation of undressing without difficulty. Depending on the obstacle and habit of the user, it is optional whether the left or right has a culott-type structure, but it is preferable that at least one has a tubular or take-up structure. This is because, by doing so, the underpants are fixed to the body at the time of clothes, and the next act is facilitated. This structure is especially useful when changing bedclothes for bedridden geriatric patients, by passing the lowerbatch on one leg and then rolling it over the other leg to close it on the opposite leg, thus helping the patient and nursing. Work can be performed without difficulty.

In another embodiment, the opening structure is provided on both the left and right sides, and usually only one of them can be used as a culott type. However, functionally, it has a left-right asymmetric structure as described above, and an opening structure is provided only on one side to correspond to a unit action.
