As a matter of course, I could not use a shower to take a bath, and there was no other way to keep my body clean except to wipe only the part that I could wipe with a wet towel or a wet disinfecting surface.

[0003] It is difficult to wipe the entire back of the body by himself, and the caregiver's hand is required once a day. However, the skin is constantly metabolized, and even if the bacteria attached to the keratinous root sebaceous sweat glands of the epidermis are wiped with a wet towel or a wet disinfectant surface, the keratinous root sebaceous sweat glands can be temporarily wiped off. The bacteria that adhere to the
Since it is still unsanitary, various bacteria quickly proliferate, give off a bad odor, and leave a problem in hygiene management. Therefore, bathing or showering is most suitable for cleaning the body, but it is necessary to prevent water or the like from splashing on the affected area when bathing.

In conventional incontinence pants, underpants, waterproof pants, etc., for example, the front body and the back body are sewn, an opening is provided in the front portion, and the waist is made of breathable fiber The structure is made of cotton cloth on the edge of the part, and only the crotch part is made of water-repellent and water-repellent waterproof cloth, etc., and has a water retention capacity of about 150 ml of excrement. These conventional pants are mainly worn during light walking or during sleep. The above-mentioned pants were closed with the openings (legs, front part) closed, filled with 1000 ml of water to form a bag, and a light pressure of 500 g was applied for measurement.
After a few seconds, water leaked from the weave and seams of the base fabric, and a shower and bath were taken, but a large amount of water invaded from the outside to the inside of the conventional pants.

After all, the conventional pants are 150m around the crotch.
It can be seen that the crotch part was mainly developed so that it can hold a small amount of excrement such as l, and it is not more than that. Conventional waterproof pants were not developed for showering and bathing, but were developed for light incontinence and naturally have different purposes.Of course, it is not possible to wear them as fully waterproof pants for showering and bathing. It is impossible and cannot be combined.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a stretchable fabric having a good touch as an inner layer,
A base cloth with a stretchable cloth having a waterproof function as an outer layer is used as a material, and by processing this, a component piece composed of a front body, a back body, etc. is cut and worn on the body by combining those component pieces. To prevent leakage of components from the inside of the main body to the outside by forming a main body having an opening necessary for that, and providing a waterproof seal portion at the contact portion with the body in the opening of the main body, underwear from the outside This is a measure to prevent water from entering the inside of the main body.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The completely waterproof garment according to the present invention is
It is waterproof and is worn directly on the body. To be directly worn on the body means that it can be directly worn on the body, and when therapeutic treatment is present on the body, it is worn over them. For example,
Major operations include abdomen (stomach, large and small intestines, rectum, etc.), lumbar region (hernia, etc.), crotch region (urine, bladder, buttocks,
There are perineal part etc.), etc., and how to bandage after these operations is abdomen, spiral band, fan band, turtle band, crotch part T-shaped band,
The methods such as the wheat band and the slender net band are mainly used. The area usually requires a large area and requires continued treatment after surgery until the bandage is released and fully healed. In addition, it is also important that people who are forced to wear diapers mainly due to neurological disorders can take a bath with peace of mind even if they excrete during bathing.

The garment according to the present invention includes pants or a type belonging to pants, but not limited to this, it can be applied to a shirt or a type belonging to a shirt. Alternatively, it is of course applicable to one-piece type underwear in which the upper and lower parts are integrated. Further, a tubular cover, which is worn over the cast for protecting the fractured part, is also included in the wearing device according to the present invention.

In order to provide a completely waterproof garment, in the present invention, a base fabric having a stretchable fabric having a good touch as an inner layer and a stretchable fabric having a waterproof function as an outer layer is used as a material. By processing this, a component piece consisting of the front body, the back body, and other necessary part pieces is cut. The components are combined to form a body with the openings required for body wear. The body already has a pants structure for pants and a shirt structure for shirts, and is wearable.

Further, according to the present invention, by providing a waterproof seal portion at the contact portion with the body in the opening portion of the main body,
While preventing the leakage of components from the inside of the main body to the outside,
Water shall be prevented from entering the underwear body from the outside. As the waterproof seal portion, any means can be applied as long as it can obtain a seal necessary for waterproofing around the opening. For example, it is effective to attach a flexible band-shaped member which is elastic and easily adheres to the body to the inner circumference of the opening that directly contacts the body, thereby exerting an effective waterproof effect. Further, it is desirable to use a means for bringing the inner circumference of the opening into close contact with the body. As a means of close contact,
It is possible to apply shrinkage with a rubber band or the like, or to bind with a belt or the like. Incidentally, for the skin layer of the base cloth, a flexible and stretchable waterproof synthetic resin sheet, a film or the like is suitable, and the inner layer is soft and stretchable paper, a non-woven fabric,
A cloth-like or sheet-like material using natural fibers or synthetic fibers is suitable. It is desirable that these inner layer and outer layer form a single base fabric by so-called laminating.

[0012]

The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the illustrated embodiments. In the illustrated embodiment, a completely waterproof underwear 10 shown as pants will be described. The completely waterproof undergarment 10 has a size capable of covering the bandage and the diaper region, the outer layer 13 of the base cloth 11, that is, the outer layer 13 is a flexible stretchable waterproof resin, and the inner layer 12 is a soft stretchable layer having a good feel and water retention. It is formed of a certain synthetic fiber, and the skin layer 13 and the inner layer 12 are laminated. Since the base cloth is flexible and elastic, the body can be easily moved from a sitting position to a standing position. The front body 14 and the back body 15 are heat-sealed, that is, heat-welded 30.

A waterproof seal portion 20 attached to the body portion 16 and the leg mouth portion 17 which are openings is an inner band-shaped waterproof tape 18 that contacts the skin and a wide belt-shaped and thick outer waterproof tape that covers the inner tape 18. It has a double structure of 19, and the inner band tape is thin and highly stretchable, making it easy to put on and take off the entire waterproof pants even when wearing a bandage or diaper. The strip-shaped inner waterproof tape 18 is heat-welded to the peripheral side base cloth skin layers of the body 16 and the leg openings 17.

The inner band-shaped waterproof tape 18 which contacts the skin around the torso is made of a synthetic resin material which is elastic and heat-weldable. The property is that the stretchability is maximized and the band-shaped waterproof tape 18 serves as the skin and the tape. Since the contact area is wide, the tape and the skin are not separated from each other, and a vacuum state is brought into close contact with the tape, which exhibits an ability to prevent water from entering from the outside. Since the outer wide band-shaped thick waterproof tape is thick, it has a sufficient contraction force, has the ability to tighten the inner tape 18 more strongly, and has a width capable of covering the inner tape 18. Further, the strip-shaped tape 18 on the inner side and the skin are in complete contact. By thus forming the strip-shaped tapes 18 and 19 in a double structure, it is possible to prevent water from entering due to the water pressure of the shower and the bath.

The outer wide belt-shaped thick waterproof tape 19 is attached to the rear body center 21 of the inner thin belt-shaped waterproof tape 18 which is heat-welded to the peripheral side of the undergarment waist, and the thin heat-welded to the peripheral side of the legs. Center 22 on the back of the strip-shaped waterproof tape 18
Heat weld at one location. In order to prevent the outer waterproof tape 19 from being vertically displaced, the belt loop 23 is heat-welded to the inner waterproof tape 18, and the attaching / detaching pieces 24 and 25 are attached to both ends of the outer waterproof tape 19. An outer wide belt-shaped thick waterproof tape 19 capable of covering the thin belt-shaped waterproof tape 18 is passed through the belt loop 23, and attached at left and right sides by attaching / detaching pieces 24 and 25 composed of hooks and loops.

Example 1: Since the water pressure of the shower and bath is naturally applied to the skin layer surface of the waterproof pants, with the skin layer surface of the base cloth inside, a bag-like width of 30 cm and a length of 50 cm is added, and 2 L of water is added and a pressure of 1 kg is applied. It was left for 24 hours. As a result, no water leakage occurred.

Example 2: For 5 men and 5 women, a shower was used and it took an average time of 14 minutes to wash the whole body, but no water penetrated from the entire circumference of the pants, and bathing was also carried out, and an average time of 16 hours for the whole body washing. It took a while, but there was no intrusion of hot and cold water from all around the pants.

Example 3: The waterproof pants according to the present invention were continuously washed for 24 hours, but there was no abnormality.

The completely waterproof undergarment 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention is worn on a bandage, and by washing the whole body with soap or the like as in the case of health, washing of the stratum corneum of the skin, hair roots of the head, and oily sweat glands of the head are removed. Sweat oil that comes out can be removed by washing, the back side can be washed, etc., and hygiene is maintained, and no bad odor is emitted, which is preferable for health and hygiene management. Volunteers such as non-profit organizations have become more active every year at home or in nursing facilities.As an example of people with this purpose, when people wearing diapers due to neurological disorders unknowingly excrete while taking a bath, There are often problems. That is, it requires a considerable amount of labor and time, such as bad odor and unsanitary conditions, cleaning and disinfection of a bathtub, and replacement of hot and cold water each time.

By wearing the completely waterproof garment of the present invention directly on the body or the diaper by such people, even if excretion is carried out during bathing in the bath, the excrement is absorbed and retained in the diaper, and In addition, since it is completely waterproof, excrement does not seep out of the underwear, and care recipients such as excretion do not bother volunteers and caregivers, so they can bathe with peace of mind. Good for hygiene management.

By wearing the completely waterproof clothing of the present invention, people with a neurological disorder can take a bath or the like without anxiety, and the participation of volunteers in their homes or facilities can be improved. The labor shortage will be resolved, labor and time will be saved, and expenses will be reduced.
