Therefore, for example, in the cloth diaper described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-79033, a plurality of cloths are sewn to form a single diaper body, thereby reducing the drying work and the diaper assembling work after drying.
However, in this cloth diaper, it is necessary to wear a diaper cover made of waterproof cloth so as not to soil the nightclothes. If a diaper cover is required in addition to the cloth diaper, the time and labor required for the care recipient to wear the diaper in a nursing home or the like cannot be reduced. Work such as washing, drying, storage and storage after drying must be performed in each of the cloth diaper and the diaper cover, and it remains a burden.

  The present invention has been made for the purpose of solving such problems, and provides a cloth diaper that facilitates wearing work for a care recipient and various work for repeated use. Another object of the present invention is to provide a cloth diaper that can maintain a clean feeling even after repeated use, and also considers the convenience of washing and drying.

  The invention described in claim 1 has an absorbent member that absorbs excrement, a cover member that covers the absorbent member, the cover member covering from the waist to the abdomen, and a waist cloth portion applied to the waist. , A side presser cloth part that wraps from side to abdomen, one waterproof cloth that is long in the height direction, a folding line is set at a position higher than the center, the upper part of this folding line is folded downward, and this folded part And the other part is the base cloth part, and the side presser cloth part is disposed on both sides of the overlapping part of the base cloth part and the waist cloth part, while the inside of the base cloth part and the The absorbent member that is long in the height direction is sandwiched between the waistcloth portion, the base cloth portion, the waistcloth portion, and the absorbent member are sewn at a portion close to the fold line, and the waistcloth portion is Do not sew the lower side to the base cloth part, And wherein the serial, which is an absorption member and sewing give cover-integrated cloth diapers.

The “absorbing member” refers to a pad that absorbs excrement, that is, a diaper body. In the following embodiment, an absorbing member corresponds.

  The invention according to claim 5 is characterized in that, in the invention according to claim 1, a string-like rubber is passed in the vicinity of the center part of the left and right sides of the base cloth part to gather.

In the inventions according to claims 1 to 5, since the absorbing member (absorbing member) and the cover member (diaper cover) are integrated, the time required for mounting can be shortened, and washing, drying, and storage are possible. It is easy to work and does not take up a large space for drying or storage.
In addition, since the absorbent member is under the waterproof cloth at the place where it hits the wearer's waist, excrement does not touch the waist directly. Therefore, it is comfortable and is hygienic without being peeled off.
Furthermore, since the absorbent member and the base cloth portion are sewn only at one location close to the upper end, most of the absorbent member is separated from the base fabric portion. Therefore, it is easy to remove dirt during washing and drying is fast. Moreover, when the water | moisture content of the absorption member 2 is squeezed, a water | moisture content does not accumulate in the diaper cover 3. FIG.

Embodiments of the cloth-integrated diaper of the present invention will be described below.
1. Configuration of Cover-Integrated Cloth Diaper As shown in FIG. 1, the cover-integrated fabric diaper 1 according to the present embodiment is configured by integrating an absorbing member 2 and a diaper cover 3.
However, although it is integral, the lower part of the absorbing member 2 is separated from the diaper cover 3.
The diaper cover 3 includes a base cloth part 4, a waist cloth part 5, and a side presser cloth part 6. The diaper cover 3 will be described in detail later.

Configuration of Absorbing Member The absorbing member 2 is made by superimposing cotton and nonwoven fabric. The number of sheets to be overlapped may be adjusted in consideration of the amount of excrement absorbed. Different numbers of sheets may be prepared depending on the purpose of going out for a short time during the day or at night. However, the standard is that it can absorb about 500 cc to 600 cc. This is because the amount of urine at night is about 500 cc for a large person.
The shape of the absorbing member 2 is an elongated trapezoidal shape whose upper side is longer than the lower side, or an elongated rectangular shape. The length and width in the height direction are made shorter than the length and width of the bedcloth 4 so that they do not protrude from the bedcloth 4 when attached.

2. Configuration of Diaper Cover Next, the configuration of the diaper cover 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
FIG. 2 is a view of the diaper cover 3 as viewed from the inside. Here, the inside means the side that touches the skin of the wearer. Since the base cloth part 4 covers the abdomen from the waist part of the wearer, it has a trapezoidal shape or a rectangular shape that is long in the height direction of the person. The waist cloth portion 5 has a rectangular shape that is short in the height direction because it only prevents urine and sweat from touching the wearer's waist. Since the width of the base cloth part 4 and the waist cloth part 5 may be the same, one sheet of waterproof cloth is folded back at the folding line 9, the larger part is used as the base part 4, and the smaller part is the waist cloth part. 5 The lower side 10 of the waist contact cloth part 5 is not sewn or bonded to the base cloth part 4, and is set as an open edge part. This is to shorten the drying time after washing, as will be described later.

  The cloth edge 12 of the base cloth part 4 is folded back at a slightly inner part from the edge, and adhered with an adhesive to prevent fraying. In order to prevent fraying, it is usual to tie the fabric edge with a sewing thread. However, in that case, there is a possibility that a sewing hole opens in the cloth, and excrement leaks out. In addition, the sewing thread is discolored due to the exudate exuded, and the cleanliness cannot be maintained. Therefore, we decided to use an adhesive.

  Here, a string-like rubber 13 is passed through the vicinity of the center of the left and right sides of the base cloth portion 4 and the cloth edge 12 is bonded. With both ends of the rubber slightly stretched, fix both ends with an adhesive. In this way, by making the left and right sides of the base cloth portion 4 extendable and contractible, the variability in size can be ensured, so that it can be easily provided to many wearers.

  Side presser cloth portions 6 are arranged on the left and right sides where the base cloth portion 4 and the waist cloth portion 5 overlap each other, and are sewn securely with a sewing line 11. Since the side presser cloth portion 6 may be contaminated with excrement, a waterproof cloth may be used in the same manner as the base cloth portion 4. Although how many waterproof cloths should be overlap | superposed is not specifically limited, Since it is used so that it may pull from a wearer's waist to abdomen, it is desirable to overlap | superpose two or more sheets in order to ensure intensity | strength.

A first adhesive member 14 is attached to the inside of the side presser cloth portion 6. Here, the inner side means a side that touches the abdomen when wrapped around the wearer's abdomen.
FIG. 3 is a view of the diaper cover 3 as viewed from the outside. The second adhesive member 15 attached to the lower side outside the base cloth portion 4 is paired with the first adhesive member 14, and both are detachable.

  A stretchable material is used for the waterproof cloth used for the base cloth part 4, the waist cloth part 5 and the side presser cloth part 6. As a wearer of the diaper according to the present invention, an adult such as an elderly person is mainly assumed. Unlike babies, there are many different types of adults. If you use non-stretchable material, you must prepare various sizes. However, if a stretchable material is used, it is possible to meet most demands by preparing a small number of sizes.

3. Integration of Absorbing Member and Diaper Cover FIGS. 4 and 5 show a state where the absorbing member 2 is sewn to the diaper cover 3. As shown in FIG. 5, the absorbing member 2 is sandwiched between the inside of the base cloth part 4 and the waisting cloth part 5. The sandwiching position is such that the upper end of the absorbing member 2 is near the folding line 9. As shown in FIG. 4, the base cloth part 4, the absorbent member 2 and the waist cloth part 5 are sewn using a sewing thread 16 </ b> B at a portion 16 </ b> A close to the folding line 9.
Next, the absorbent member 2 and the waist cloth portion 5 are sewn using a sewing thread 17B at a portion 17A near the lower side 10 of the waist cloth portion 5.
In this way, there are only two places where the absorbent member 2 is sewn to the diaper cover 3, that is, the sewn lines 16 </ b> A and 17 </ b> A. In addition, only one place (sewing line 16 </ b> A) close to the folding line 9 is sewn to the base cloth portion 4.

4). Next, the use of the cover-integrated cloth diaper of the present embodiment will be described.
The caregiver puts the wearer's waist on the cover-integrated cloth diaper 1 opened in the state of FIG. Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the absorbent member 2 and the base cloth portion 4 are rotated in this order through the wearer's crotch toward the abdomen. Next, the left and right side presser cloth portions 6 are turned from the side to the abdomen, and the first adhesive member 14 attached to the inner side of the side presser cloth portion 6 is attached to the second adhesive member 15 outside the bedcloth portion 4. Put on. In this way, the absorbent member 2 and the diaper cover 3 are mounted, and the cover-integrated cloth diaper 1 is securely fixed to the wearer's body by the adhesive members 14 and 15.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the area of the second adhesive member 15 is larger than the area of the first adhesive member 14. Therefore, the freedom degree of the position which pastes the 1st adhesion member 14 is secured. This is to enable the diaper cover 3 to be fixed at an appropriate location according to the wearer's physique.

  The diaper cover 3 is made of a stretchable material, and gathers are gathered with rubber at the bases of the left and right lower limbs. Therefore, as long as it is not extremely large or small, it fits people of various physiques, so that it does not slip or excrement leaks. Therefore, it is comfortable for the wearer and is hygienic.

  Further, even if a large amount of moisture is absorbed by the absorbent member 2 due to wearing for a long time, the waist portion is not moistened because there is the waist cloth portion 5 made of waterproof cloth. Therefore, it does not come off and also prevents bed slip.

5. Washing and drying of the cover-integrated cloth diaper Next, the handling of the cover-integrated cloth diaper 1 after use will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, the first and second adhesive members 14 and 2 are bonded to each other by folding back the side presser cloth portions 6 on the left and right sides to the side opposite to that when wearing, and folding the skirt of the base cloth portion 4 outward. The member 15 is bonded. Therefore, in this state, it may be put into the washing machine. In general, since the minute loops and hooks are densely packed on the surfaces of the adhesive members 14 and 15, they are easily entangled with other fibers. However, in the present embodiment, the adhesive members are bonded to each other, so that there is no fear of entanglement with other fibers even in the case of washing or the like.
In addition, it is easy to remove dirt during washing and drying is fast. Moreover, when the water | moisture content of the absorption member 2 is squeezed, a water | moisture content does not accumulate in the diaper cover 3. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the sewing member 2 and the base cloth portion 4 are sewn at only one place on the sewing line 16 </ b> A. As described above, since the number of sewing locations is minimized, air circulation between the base cloth portion 4 and the absorbing member 2 is good. Therefore, moisture easily evaporates and the drying time can be shortened.

As described above, since the absorbent member 2 and the diaper cover 3 can be integrated with each other for washing and drying, the operation can be easily and quickly performed.
Moreover, since the absorption member 2 and the diaper cover 3 are integral, the absorption member and the diaper cover need not be folded separately or stored in separate cases. Therefore, the efficiency of storage and storage work is also improved.

6). Others In the above-described embodiment, detachable means such as a hook-and-loop fastener is used for fixing to the body. However, it can be tied with a string or fastened with buttons.
Further, the base cloth part 4 and the waist cloth part 5 are used by folding one piece of cloth. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and different cloths may be used. In this case, the upper sides do not necessarily have to be sewn together. This is because the base cloth part and the waist pad part are sewn together with the absorbing member in the vicinity of the upper side thereof.
Furthermore, the side presser cloth part 6 used a cloth different from the base cloth part and the waist-clothing part. However, each of these parts may be composed of a single cloth.
In the above description, an elderly person who needs care as a wearer is assumed, but it goes without saying that the cover-integrated cloth diaper of the present invention may be used for infants.

  That is, the embodiment disclosed above is an example in all respects and is not restrictive. Therefore, various modifications are possible. However, as long as the modification is based on the technical idea described in the claims, the modification is included in the technical scope of the present invention.

  As described above in detail, according to the present invention, a diaper cover in which an absorbing member (absorbing member) and a cover member (diaper cover) are integrated can be provided, and the time required for wearing can be shortened, and washing and drying are performed. It is possible to make the work for storage and storage easy and hygienic without being peeled off. In addition, it is possible to reduce costs in nursing care facilities and hospitals that use a large amount of diaper covers, and in the environment. Can contribute to protection.
