Description

  The present invention relates to pants worn during bathing to prevent hot water contamination due to incontinence in a bathtub.

  When the body warms up during bathing, the sphincter of the bladder relaxes, and even elderly people who are not wearing incontinence pants on a daily basis may become incontinent in the bathtub. Incontinence in the bathtub is often very unsanitary because other bathers may not notice it. Moreover, if it is known that there was incontinence, the hot water in the bathtub must be replaced, which is not only annoying to other bathers but also a problem in terms of cost. Therefore, incontinence in the bathtub is a big problem especially in the public baths such as elderly baths, nursing homes, hot spring inns, and public baths in addition to the baths in the home today as the number of elderly people increases. The incontinence pants are pants used by incorporating conventional general-purpose diapers used outside the bathing area, and are distinctly different from the incontinence bathing pants used in the bathing area. The same applies to the following.

Conventionally, there have been several proposals for pants to be worn during bathing. For example, bathing pants (see Patent Document 1) in which detachable parts such as chucks and snaps are formed between the left and right leg parts, located on both leg parts through which the legs of the pants pass, (See Patent Document 2), underwear for bathing, which is made of a waterproof material made of a waterproof material and is sewn with a rubber or the like where the leg of the panty is passed and fixed to the panty (see Patent Document 3) ), A waterproof wearing device that is worn directly on the body, using a shrinkable fabric with good touch as an inner layer and a base fabric with a waterproof fabric as an outer layer, and processing this While forming a main body having an opening necessary for wearing on the body, and providing a waterproof seal portion at the contact portion with the body in the opening of the main body, preventing leakage of components from the inside of the main body to the outside , Outside In the waterproof adhesive tool to prevent entry of moisture into inside the body (see Patent Document 4) have been proposed.

  However, the pants that are worn during bathing can prevent leakage of urine in the pants, but if you take off the pants, the urine that accumulates in the pants will spill out, so the urine should be treated. There was a problem that it could not be performed easily and hygienically. In addition, when the pants are tucked down, the urine dispersed in the pants may spill out, so that the worn part could not be washed. On the other hand, diapers and other padded constructions (see Patent Document 3) do not spill urine even when the pants are removed, but for those who do not wear incontinence pants on a daily basis, such as diapers There is a sense of resistance to using these pads, and the use of the pads every time when bathing is problematic in terms of cost.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to easily and hygienically treat urine in the pants, and to contaminate hot water that can wash most of the pants wearing parts even if incontinence. It is an object of the present invention to provide an economical pant to be worn for prevention.

The present inventor has repeatedly studied to solve the above-described problems, and has completed the present invention.
That is, the present invention is a pant formed of a waterproof material that is worn to prevent contamination of hot water in the bathtub due to incontinence during bathing, and a leak-proof ring is formed around the waist and around both thighs. The gist of the bathing pants for incontinence is characterized in that a urine storage part bulging downward is formed between the crotch.

  In the invention with the above configuration, since the urine storage portion is formed in the downward direction between the groins, urine due to incontinence can be stored, and urine does not spill out even when the incontinence bathing pants are removed.

  In the above invention, the urine storage part may be detachable. Thereby, the urine stored in the urine storage part by removing the urine storage part can be discharged to a toilet or the like. Further, by removing the urine storage part, it is possible to wipe the dirty crotch while wearing the incontinence bathing pants.

  In each of the above inventions, the urine outlet may be formed watertight in the urine storage part. Thereby, the urine accommodated in the urine storage part can be easily discharged to a toilet or the like.

  In each of the above inventions, a leakage prevention ring around the thigh may be formed in the vicinity of the base of the foot, and the bulging proximal end of the urine storage part may be set at a height position substantially the same as the upper edge of the leakage prevention ring. Thereby, the urine in underpants can be reliably accommodated in the urine accommodating part.

  According to the bathing pants for incontinence of the present invention, hot water contamination due to incontinence in the bathtub during bathing can be prevented, and urine in the pants due to incontinence can be treated easily and hygienically. In addition, since most of the pants are washed, it is easy to use. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to use pads such as diapers every time a bath is taken, the economy is excellent.

  Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the first and second embodiments with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of bathing pants 50 for incontinence according to the first embodiment, FIG. 2 is a bottom view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged sectional view showing a urine outlet 31 in the urine storage part 30. It is. 4 is a front view of the incontinence bathing pants 60 according to the second embodiment, FIG. 5 is a bottom view thereof, and FIG. 6 is a side view of the urine storage portion 40.

[First Embodiment]
The incontinence bathing pants 50 of the present embodiment are formed in a trunks shape shown in FIG. The waterproof pant fabric is not particularly limited as long as it is waterproof, and a sheet-like synthetic resin is preferable. Examples of the synthetic resin include nylon, polyester, and polyethylene.

  Around the thigh of the incontinence bathing pants 50 is formed with a leak prevention ring 10 having a diameter smaller than that of the thigh. The leak prevention ring 10 is configured by sewing a ring-shaped woven rubber 15 inside the thigh around the incontinence bathing pants 50. Further, gathers 20 are formed in the longitudinal direction on the pant fabric on which the leakage prevention ring 10 is formed, and the woven rubber 15 is sewn in the lateral direction perpendicular to the gathers 20. By forming the gathers 20 on the pant fabric, the pant fabric can be expanded and contracted as the woven rubber 15 expands and contracts.

  In addition, a leak prevention ring 11 having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the trunk is formed around the trunk of the incontinence bathing pants 50. The leak prevention ring 11 has a ring-shaped woven rubber 16 sewn on the inner side of the waistline like the leak prevention ring 10 around the thigh. Further, a gather 21 is formed in the vertical direction on the pant fabric to which the woven rubber 16 is sewn.

  A urine storage part 30 bulging downward is formed integrally with the main body of the incontinence bathing pants 50 between the crotch. The bulging base end of the urine storage part 30 is set to be substantially the same height as the upper end edge of the leakage prevention ring 10 around the thigh. A urine outlet 31 is formed of synthetic resin at the bottom of the urine storage unit 30. As shown in FIG. 3, the urine outlet 31 includes a hollow cylindrical portion 33 having a tub 32 and a stopper 34 having a T-shaped cross section, and the tub 32 is welded to the bottom of the urine storage unit 30. The cylindrical portion 33 communicates with a through hole 37 formed in the urine storage portion 30. If the plug 34 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 33, the urine stored in the urine storage portion 30 will not leak due to watertightness.

  Next, a method of using the incontinence bathing pants 50 configured as described above will be described. A person who wears incontinence pants on a daily basis, or a person who does not wear incontinence pants on a daily basis but may be incontinent when taking a bath, wears the bathing pants 50 for incontinence. The incontinence bathing pants 50, after undressing, are worn in the same manner as the underwear pants and take a bath while wearing. A person who wears incontinence pants on a daily basis wears the incontinence bathing pants 50 directly after removing the diaper. The incontinence bathing pants 50 are formed of a waterproof material, and the leak-proof bands 10 and 11 are formed around both thighs and around the torso, so that the water becomes watertight and urine in the incontinence bathing pants 50 is outside. There is no leakage. Since the bulging base end of the urine storage part 30 is set to be substantially the same height as the upper end edge of the leakage prevention ring 10 around the thigh, urine due to incontinence is not dispersed in the incontinence bathing pants 50 and is not divided between the crotch. It is stored in the urine storage part 30 located below. Therefore, when washing the body, the incontinence bathing pants 50 can be squeezed down to wash most of the portions covered by the incontinence bathing pants 50. There are no restrictions. After washing the body, if the incontinence bathing pants 50 are lifted again and entered the bathtub, contamination of hot water due to incontinence in the bathtub can be prevented. If there is no incontinence in the bathtub, after leaving the bath, take off the incontinence bathing pants 50 and change to underwear. In the case of incontinence, the stopper 34 of the urine outlet 31 can be removed, and the collected urine can be discharged to a toilet bowl or a mobile toilet bowl. The incontinence bathing pants 50 can be washed and used repeatedly. Needless to say, the bathing pants 50 for incontinence do not leak outside even when there is stool due to incontinence.

[Second Embodiment]
The incontinence bathing pants 60 of the present embodiment is formed in a brief type in which the urine storage part 40 is configured to be detachable from the main body of the incontinence bathing pants 60. Since the configuration of the pant fabric and the leakage prevention ring is the same as that of the first embodiment, the detailed description will be omitted and different points will be described. 4 and 5, the same reference numerals are used for the same elements as those in the first embodiment.

  A collar 43 is formed around the proximal end of the urine storage portion 40, and a male surface fastener 41 is sewn to the collar 43. In addition, a female hook-and-loop fastener 42 is sewn around a punch formed between the crotch of the incontinence bathing pants 60 facing the male hook-and-loop fastener 41. Thereby, the urine storage part 40 is detachably attached to the incontinence bathing pants 60 main body. When there is incontinence, the collected urine can be discharged into the toilet bowl by removing the urine container 40 in the toilet. Note that a urine outlet may be formed in the urine storage portion 40 of the incontinence bathing pants 60 as in the first embodiment.

As long as it belongs to the technical scope, the present invention can be embodied by changing various forms.
(1) The leakage prevention ring is not limited to the above-described embodiment as long as it forms a ring shape and the incontinence bathing pants can be watertight. For example, a belt-like rubber may be used.
(2) The urine outlet is not limited to the above-described embodiment as long as it can be watertight. For example, a female hook-and-loop fastener having a through-hole sewn in the urine storage portion and one end of the male hook-and-loop fastener are urine-containing. The through hole of the female surface fastener may be a urine outlet that communicates with the through hole formed in the urine storage part.
(3) When the urine storage part is not detachable and the urine discharge part is not formed in the urine storage part, the pants are removed so that the urine storage part does not tilt, and the urine storage part is stored in the urine storage part by a toilet or the like Process urine. The bathing pants for incontinence with this configuration are suitable for making disposable in terms of cost effectiveness.
