Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to incontinence shorts,
The present invention relates to shorts having a water-absorbing pad, such as puerperal shorts, and in particular, the water-absorbing pad attached to the inner surface of the crotch portion of the shorts body is not displaced to enhance the wearing feeling and can be repeatedly used by washing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Shorts having a conventional water absorbing pad are:
A water-absorbing pad sewn over the entire crotch area of the shorts body and quilted, or a water-absorbing pad with the entire rim sewn to the crotch area Is floating from the shorts body. For example, in the incontinence pants disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 3124423, shorts 1 shown in FIGS.
The left and right side edges of the water absorbing pad 3 are floated from the shorts main body 2 without sewing, and the front and rear flaps 4a and 4b continuously integrated with the water absorbing pad 3 are directly sewn and fixed to the shorts main body 2. .

[0003]

In the above conventional example,
In each case, at least a part of the water absorbing pad is directly sewn to the shorts body. For this reason, the integration of the two is strong, and when the shorts body moves, the movement is transmitted to the water absorbing pad, and the water absorbing pad also moves. In particular,
As shown in FIGS. 11 (A), 11 (B), and 11 (C) with a horizontal line in the body, when one leg is raised, the gluteal groove extends greatly in the direction indicated by the arrow in the figure. The behavior of raising one leg is a behavior that is performed when sitting or walking in daily life.In this behavior, the shorts do not follow the movement of the body, the hem slips, and the rear waist shifts down. Or lead to. Therefore, even in the shorts having the water-absorbing pad, if the crotch cloth is fixed to the shorts main body, the short will be shifted together with the shorts main body. in this way,
If the position shift or twist of the shorts body occurs during the behavior of the wearer, the water absorbing pad also follows and causes the position shift etc.,
As a result, there is a problem that urine leakage easily occurs.

In addition, since the water-absorbing pad itself does not have elasticity, it is not easy to cope with individual differences in the size of the thigh base, and in the case of a person having a large thigh base, the left and right side edges of the water-absorbing pad may be clogged. It causes biting discomfort, and conversely, if you have a small thigh base,
There is also a problem that the water-absorbing pad is not stable because the crotch does not adhere to the crotch and floats, and the position of the water-absorbing pad is likely to be shifted. As a result, urine leakage is likely to occur. In particular, elderly people who are prone to incontinence tend to lose their thigh meat,
There is a problem in that the water-absorbing pad is not stably positioned and held at the crotch portion, thereby impairing the feeling of wearing.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has shorts having a water absorption pad which constantly holds a water absorption pad stably at a crotch portion and reliably prevents urine leakage, while giving the whole shorts high motion followability. The challenge is to provide

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a shorts body comprising front and rear body portions and a crotch portion, and a water absorption pad having a water absorption pad disposed on the inner surface of the crotch portion of the shorts body. In the shorts having, while the water absorbing pad is substantially non-stretchable,
The rear end of the water-absorbing pad is connected to the shorts main body via an elastic connecting cloth, and the front end of the water-absorbing pad is connected to the shorts main body directly or via an elastic connecting cloth. Shorts having a water-absorbing pad are provided in which the left and right side edges of the pad are released without being connected to the crotch portion of the shorts main body.

In the shorts having the water-absorbing pad having the above structure, the non-stretchable water-absorbing pad is not sewn directly to the shorts body, but at least the rear end edge of the water-absorbing pad is interposed with the elastic connecting cloth. It is connected to the shorts body, the front and rear edges of the water-absorbing pad are connected to the shorts body, and the left and right edges are separated, so to speak, a hammock type. As described above, the shorts body and the water-absorbing pad are connected to each other with the elastic connecting cloth interposed between the front and back, and the left and right side edges are separated. , Even if twisting occurs, the movement is not transmitted to the shorts main body and the released water absorbing pad, and the movement of the shorts main body is performed by the elastic connecting cloth interposed between the shorts main body and the water absorbing pad. Absorbed. Therefore, even if the body of the shorts is displaced following the movement, the water-absorbing pad is not interlocked and is stably supported at a position along the crotch without shifting to a predetermined position, thereby preventing the occurrence of urine leakage. can do.

Further, although the water-absorbing pad is non-stretchable and hardly stretched, the stretch of the connecting cloth allows the water-absorbing pad to be stably positioned in a state in which the water-absorbing pad is in close contact with the crotch of the wearer. It is possible to prevent the left and right ends of the pad from biting into or rising from the thigh.

The connecting cloth is attached to the entire back surface of the water-absorbing pad, extends from both front and rear edges of the water-absorbing pad, and the front and rear ends of the single-piece connecting cloth are sewn to the shorts body. In this way, when the front and rear end edges of the water absorbing pad are connected to the shorts body via the elastic connecting cloth, the function of absorbing the movement of the shorts body by the connecting cloth is enhanced, and the water absorbing pad is not linked with the shorts body. It can be stably adhered to the crotch.
The connecting cloth may be provided as separate cloths at the front and rear, instead of being continuous as a single cloth, and may be provided only between the front and rear edges of the water absorbing pad and the shorts main body.

[0010] Further, in the behavior, since the shorts have a large rearward movement on the buttocks side and a relatively small forward movement, even if the connecting cloth is arranged only on the rear edge of the water absorbing pad and connected to the shorts body. In addition, the movement of the shorts body can be effectively absorbed, and the water absorbing pad can be prevented from interlocking.

[0011] The stretch of the stretchable connecting cloth is greater than the stretch of the stretchable shorts body. The shorts body consisting of the front and rear body portions and the crotch portion is formed from a knitted fabric knitted by a circular knitting machine, and has an elastic knitting method in order to improve the behavior followability. The length of the connecting cloth interposed between the elastic shorts main body and the water-absorbing pad is increased in the vertical and horizontal directions. It absorbs the elongation of the body and does not affect the water absorption pad. The connecting cloth for increasing the elongation is knitted using elastic yarn, and uses two-way Russell, bare sheeting, entrant or azekura manufactured by Toray Industries, Inc.

The total front and rear length of the water absorbing pad and the connecting cloth is 1c longer than the front and rear length of the crotch portion to be overlapped.
m to 3 cm longer. Since the water-absorbing pad is substantially non-stretching and non-stretchable, the total length of the water-absorbing pad and the connecting cloth as described above to prevent the water-absorbing pad from being dragged when the shorts body is stretched. Is set to be longer than the front and rear length of the crotch part where The length is set to 1 cm or more by 1 cm.
If it is less than the above, it is not possible to follow the elongation of the shorts main body only by the amount of extension of the connecting cloth, pulling occurs at the sewn place between the connecting cloth and the water absorbing pad, which may hinder the elasticity of the connecting cloth. . Further, the reason why the water absorption pad is set to 3 cm or less is that when the water absorption pad is longer than 3 cm, the water absorption pad is dubbed in the front-rear direction when the shorts body is not stretched, so that the skin contact becomes poor.

It is preferable that an elastic tape is sewn from the waist line to the rear edge of the connecting cloth along the rear center line of the shorts body, and the connecting cloth and the water absorbing pad are pulled up. With this elastic tape, the connecting cloth and the crotch portion, which are likely to hang down due to the weight of the water-absorbing pad, can always be lifted upward, so that the water-absorbing pad can be stably held on the crotch portion and urine leakage can be prevented.
Also, by attaching elastic tape to the rear center line,
Gathers are formed on both sides along the hip cleft to provide a natural three-dimensional effect along the bulge of the right and left buttocks.

It is preferable that the rear end edge of the water-absorbing pad has a shape protruding in an arc shape or a triangular shape having the rear center line as an apex. Further, when the protruding end of the rear end edge of the water absorbing pad is directly connected to the shorts main body, the water absorbing pad can be prevented from floating from the skin. In this case, the area of the connecting cloth connecting the rear end edge of the water absorbing pad and the shorts body gradually decreases from the left and right side edges to the center. That is,
The center part of the water-absorbing pad has less displacement and pulling of the shorts body compared to the left and right sides, and by reducing the area of the connecting cloth to reduce the amount of elongation, it can support the water-absorbing pad stably and at the same time Lifting from the skin due to the weight can be prevented, and the fit can be maintained.
On the other hand, the left and right sides of the rear edge of the water-absorbing pad, which are susceptible to tension and the like by the shorts body, have sufficient connecting cloth, so that the movement of the shorts body can be absorbed to prevent the water-absorbing pad from shifting. it can.

The left and right side edges of the water-absorbing pad are piped with a waterproof cloth, and a waterproof cloth is disposed on the back surface of the shorts body which comes into contact with the crotch portion. The left and right side edges of the water-absorbing pad may be covered with the left and right side portions of the waterproof cloth disposed on the back side and may be cleaned.

Further, it is preferable that the skirt of the shorts having the water-absorbing pad be of a type which can be easily fitted to a thin thigh, not a high leg. Elderly people have rich abdomen, but their legs are often thin, so by making the hem shallower, the body of the shorts fits the leghole of the elderly, and the stability of the body of the shorts and the water absorption pad is improved. Can be.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 6 show a short 10 having a water-absorbing pad according to a first embodiment of the present invention. A short body 11 is made of a knitted fabric knitted by a circular knitting machine.
1a, a back body portion 11b, and a crotch portion 11c are continuously knitted, and a rear edge 11c-1 of the crotch portion 11c is sewn to a lower edge of the back body 11b to form a left and right crotch 12
A and 12B are configured as shorts.

The shorts body 11 is knitted with cotton smooth without knitting elastic yarns, but has overall elasticity due to the knitting structure.

The crotch portion 11c of the shorts body 11
A water-absorbing pad 20 is attached to the inner surface via a connecting cloth 15. As shown in FIG. 5, the connection cloth 15 is set to L2 which is longer in the front-rear direction than the length L1 in the front-rear direction of the water-absorbing pad 20.
a, 20b and left and right edges 20c, 20d,
The water-absorbing pad 20 extends a required dimension from both front and rear edges. The front-end stretch portion 15a and the rear-end stretch portion 1 of the connecting cloth 15 protruding from both front and rear edges of the water absorbing pad 20.
Each edge of 5b is sewn to the front and rear sides of the crotch portion 11c of the shorts body 11 by sewing H1 and H2.

At the sewing positions H1 and H2, the connecting cloth 15 is sewn to the shorts body 11 in a state where the connecting cloth 15 is extended by about 1.5 to 3 cm. In other words, the length L1 of the water absorbing pad 20 and the length L3 of the front end stretch portion 15a of the connecting cloth,
The front and rear length L2 (L1 + L3 + L4 = L2) of the connecting cloth 15, which is the sum of the length L4 of the rear end stretch portion 15c, is 1.5 to 3c longer than the length L5 of the shorts body at the portion to be sewn.
m longer.

The left and right side edges 20c, 20 of the water absorbing pad 20
The left and right side edges 15c and 15d of the connecting cloth 15 sewn to the shorts body 11 are released without being sewn to the shorts body 11. As described above, the water absorbing pad 20 has the connecting cloth 15 at its front and rear ends.
Is connected to the shorts body 11 via the front and rear stretch portions 15a and 15b, and is attached to the shorts body 11 in a so-called hammock type.

The connecting cloth 15 is formed by warp knitting using a two-way Russell containing elastic yarn, and has greater extensibility than the shorts body 12. The water-absorbing pad 20 is substantially made of a non-stretchable material, and as shown in FIG.
The liquid-absorbent core 23 is accommodated between the short-sleeve body 11 and the waterproof back cloth 22 that comes into contact with the crotch portion 11c,
The four-sided peripheral edges of the front cloth 21 and the back cloth 22 are integrally sewn over the entire length and the liquid-absorbent core 23 is enclosed. Further, the water absorbing pad 20 is provided on both left and right side edges 20 thereof.
c and 20d are wound around the surface cloth 21 side.

The shorts body 11 includes a front and rear body part 11.
A waist 11d is provided by folding the bag along the upper edges of a and 11b, and a rubber band 13 is sealed at the upper end of the waist 11d and sewn. Also, the hem portion is folded back in a bag shape to provide left and right leg portions 11e and 11f. The left and right underbody portions 11e and 11f are provided to make the skirts shallow.

A back body 11b of the shorts body 11 is also provided.
In the figure, the elastic tape 17 is sewn from the upper edge to the lower edge 11c-1 of the crotch portion 11c while gathering the gathers 18 along the rear center line L1 that falls on the hip tear line.

In the shorts 10 having the water-absorbing pad having the above-described structure, the water-absorbing pad 20 has the left and right side edges 20c, 20c.
Not only is it detached from the shorts body 11 at d, but also the front and rear end edges 20a, 20b are not directly sewn to the shorts body 11. That is, instead of directly sewing the non-stretchable water-absorbing pad 20 to the stretchable shorts body 11, the front-end stretch portion 1 of the stretchable connecting cloth 15 is not sewn.
5a and the rear end stretch portion 15b are sewn, and a stretch portion made of the connecting cloth 15 is interposed on the front-rear extension line of the water absorbing pad 20. Therefore, even if the shorts main body 11 moves following the behavior or movement of the wearer, as shown in FIG. 6, the front end stretch portion 15a and the rear end stretch portion 15b expand and contract to absorb the movement. The effect on the water-absorbing pad 20 can be alleviated while maintaining its own motion-following property, and the water-absorbing pad 20 can be prevented from being displaced or twisted, and further from leaking urine. Note that the water absorbing pad 20 is non-stretchable,
Shorts body 1 with double (extra length) of m to 3 cm
1, the water absorbing pad 20 is not dragged.

Further, since the hem is not high leg but shallow, it fits the body of an elderly person whose thighs are weakened and thin regardless of the weight of the weight, and the hem can be prevented from floating. Further, the position of the hem of the water absorbing pad 20 is adjusted by the expansion and contraction of the connecting cloth 15,
The water-absorbing pad 20 can be prevented from digging into the crotch or rising from the crotch, and can be supported in a state of being tightly fitted along the crotch according to the size of the thigh attached to each wearer.

Further, since the elastic tape 17 is attached along the rear center line of the shorts main body 11, the water absorbing pad 20 and the connecting cloth 15 are pulled up to prevent the water absorbing pad 20 from hanging down and rising from the skin. it can.
In addition, since the gathers 18 are provided on both the left and right sides of the elastic tape 17, a natural three-dimensional feeling can be provided along the bulge of the right and left buttocks.

FIG. 7 shows a short 10 'having a water-absorbing pad according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The difference from the first embodiment is that the rear side of the water absorption pad 20 'is a rear extension type in which the rear side extends in an arc shape rearward, and the other points are the same as the first embodiment. Therefore, the same reference numerals are given and the description is omitted.

More specifically, the rear central portion 2 of the water absorbing pad 20 ′
0′e protrudes to the center of the rear edge 15a of the connecting cloth 15, that is, to the lower end of the elastic tape 17, while the right and left sides 2 of the rear edge 20 ′ b of the water-absorbing pad 20.
0'f and 20'g are left in front of the rear edge 15a of the connection cloth 15. Therefore, the water absorbing pad 2
On the rear extension line of 0 ', the stretch portions 15b' are interposed only on the left and right sides of the central portion 20'e.

In the above configuration, the elastic stretch portion does not intervene on the rear side of the rear center portion 20'e of the water absorbing pad 20 '.
It is sewn directly to the shorts body 11 and further to the elastic tape 17. Therefore, the lifting force of the elastic tape 17 is directly transmitted to the water-absorbing pad 20 ', which tends to hang down from the skin, and the water-absorbing pad 20' can be stably held at the crotch. In addition, since the displacement of the shorts main body due to movement or behavior increases as the distance from the center line of the body increases, the stretch portion does not intervene in the rear central portion 20′e on the rear extension line of the water absorbing pad 20 ′. If the stretch portions 15b 'are present on both the left and right sides, the movement of the shorts body 11 can be efficiently absorbed, and the displacement of the water absorbing pad 20' can be prevented.

FIGS. 8A, 8B and 8C show the water absorbing pad 2.
A modified example of the connection configuration of the rear end of 0 ', the connection cloth 15' and the shorts main body 11 is shown. In each case, the water absorbing pad 20 '
A projection 20'g is provided at the rear center of the
Is directly sewn to the shorts main body 11, and both sides thereof are connected to the shorts main body 11 via the left and right connecting cloths 15 '.

FIGS. 9A and 9B show a third embodiment of the present invention. The water absorbing pad 20 "has its front edge 20a" directly sewn to the shorts body 11. On the other hand, the trailing edge 20
b ″ is projected in a triangular shape, and the rear edge 20
Between the b "and the shorts body 11, a connecting cloth 15" having a large expansion is interposed. This connecting cloth is used for the water absorbing pad 2
0 ”on the back of the pad
0b "and the shorts body 11 only.

As described above, even if only the rear end side of the water absorbing pad 20 "is connected to the shorts body via the connecting cloth 15",
Since the stretch of the shorts body at the time of movement is large on the back side and relatively small on the front side, the water absorbing pad 20 "can be stably held at the crotch.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. In particular, two-way Russell,
Bare sheeting, stretchable waterproof cloth such as Entrant or Azekura manufactured by Toray Industries, Inc. are also preferably used.
It is preferable that the shorts having the water-absorbing pad be provided in various sizes such as S size, M size, and L size so as to correspond to various body shapes of the wearer.

[0035]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, instead of directly sewing the water-absorbing pad to the shorts main body, the connecting cloth having elasticity between the water-absorbing pads of the shorts main body is provided. Since the hammock type is interposed, the continuous integration between the water absorbing pad and the shorts body is weakened. Therefore, even if the entire shorts is pulled or displaced, the stretch portion absorbs the movement, so that the water absorbing pad follows and is pulled or displaced while keeping the movement following property of the shorts body. Without this, the water-absorbing pad can be stably held at the crotch to prevent urine leakage, and can be suitably worn as incontinence shorts and puerperal shorts.

Further, although the water-absorbing pad is non-stretchable and does not stretch, the expansion and contraction of the connecting cloth allows the water-absorbing pad to be stably positioned in a state in which the water-absorbing pad is in close contact with the wearer's crotch. Of the left and right sides can be prevented from biting into the thigh or rising from the thigh.
