  Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same or equivalent part in a figure.

[First Embodiment]
First, with reference to FIG. 1 (a), (b), the excrement separation collection | recovery device 1 which concerns on the 1st Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. The excrement separator / collector 1 according to the present embodiment includes a water absorbent sheet unit 10, a defecation collection bag 2, and a defecation collection bag storage unit 11.
As shown to Fig.1 (a), the water absorption sheet | seat part 10 is a sheet-like member with which the wearer's crotch part was mounted | worn and comprised so that the said wearer's urination could be absorbed. The defecation collection bag 2 is a bag made of a material that is provided on the back side of the water absorbent sheet portion 10 so as to be able to collect the defecation of the wearer and can be discarded in a state in which the defecation is accommodated. The defecation collection bag accommodating portion 11 is a bag-like or box-like member that accommodates the defecation collection bag while being provided on the back side of the water absorbent sheet portion 10. In addition, the "surface side (omote noodles)" of the water absorbent sheet portion 10 indicates a surface that contacts the wearer, and the "back surface side" of the water absorbent sheet portion 10 does not contact the wearer. The side surface is shown. Further, the “surface (hymen)” of the water absorbent sheet portion 10 refers to both the surface side and the back surface side of the water absorbent sheet portion 10.

As shown in FIG. 1B, the defecation collection bag 2 includes a bag body 21, a collar 23 provided along the neck of the bag body 21, and a check valve 24 that prevents leakage of the collected material. .
On the back side 10A of the water absorbent sheet portion located on the wearer's back side of the water absorbent sheet portion 10 when worn, a defecation collection bag mounting hole 12 communicating with the neck portion of the defecation collection bag 2 and the back side 10A of the water absorbent sheet portion. A groove 13 </ b> A is formed from the end of the bag to the defecation collection bag mounting hole 12.
According to the excrement separator / collector 1 having such a configuration, the urination of the wearer can be absorbed by the water absorbent sheet portion 10 and the stool of the wearer can be recovered by the defecation collection bag 2. Moreover, the excrement can be treated easily and hygienically by configuring the defecation collection bag 2 using a material that can be discarded in a state where the defecation is accommodated.
In addition, a tongue-like knob 15 is provided on the abdomen side 10B of the water absorbent sheet portion located on the wearer's abdomen side when worn.

(Water absorption sheet part 10)
The water-absorbing sheet portion 10 is a sheet-like member having an elliptical shape or a substantially elliptical shape that can be used repeatedly. At least one end in the longitudinal direction is attached to the excrement separating and collecting device 1 to an underwear body to be described later. A knob 15 is provided. The excrement separator / collector 1 is attached to the underwear main body while being bent along the crotch portion with the knob 15 attached to the underwear main body when worn. FIG. 1 (a) shows a state in which the knob 15 is provided only on the abdomen side 10B of the water absorbent sheet part. However, the knob 15 is provided on both the abdomen side 10B of the water absorbent sheet part and the back side 10A of the water absorbent sheet part. 15 may be provided.

  A defecation collection bag attachment hole 12 is formed at a position corresponding to the anus of the wearer on a part of the water absorption sheet 10, that is, on the back side 10 </ b> A of the water absorption sheet located on the wearer's back when worn. Yes. Further, a groove 13A is formed from the defecation collection bag mounting hole 12 to the back side 10A of the water absorbent sheet portion. Further, the surface of the water absorbent sheet portion 10 is made of a material having high water absorption, and a waterproof material 14 is attached or installed so as to cover the defecation collection bag attachment hole 12 and the groove 13A. Further, a leak-proof guard 16 </ b> A made of a highly waterproof material is provided over substantially the entire circumference of the outer edge portion of the water absorbent sheet portion 10.

  The defecation collection bag mounting hole 12 provided on the back side 10A of the water absorbent sheet portion is a hole for detachably installing the defecation collection bag 2 in the water absorbent sheet portion 10 in a state where the defecation can be collected. By attaching the defecation collection bag 2 to the defecation collection bag attachment hole 12, the defecation collection bag 2 can be mounted in a stable state on the excrement separation and collection device 1 at a position corresponding to the anus of the wearer. As a result, the defecation collection bag 2 is prevented from being detached from the excrement separation and collection device 1, and the collection and leakage of the defecation are prevented. The defecation collection bag attachment hole 12 has an opening having substantially the same diameter as, for example, a neck portion of the defecation collection bag 2 described later. Further, the defecation collection bag mounting hole 12 has a shape that takes into account the difference in body shape and the displacement in the front-rear direction that occurs when the excrement separation and collection device 1 is installed.

  The groove 13 </ b> A is a gap used when the defecation collection bag 2 is attached to and detached from the water absorbent sheet portion 10. For example, when attaching the defecation collection bag 2 to the water absorbent sheet portion 10, the neck of the defecation collection bag 2 is fitted into the end of the groove 13A and moved to the defecation collection bag attachment hole 12 so as to be slid along the groove 13A. Thus, the defecation collection bag 2 can be easily attached to the water absorbent sheet portion 10. On the other hand, when removing the defecation collection bag 2 from the water absorbent sheet portion 10, for example, the neck portion of the defecation collection bag 2 is moved along the groove 13A by gently shaking the excrement separation collection device 1 on the toilet bowl or the like. Therefore, it can be easily removed. In particular, after defecation, the defecation collection bag 2 is more easily removed by the weight of the defecation collected in the defecation collection bag 2. The groove 13A has, for example, the same width as the neck portion of the defecation collection bag 2.

  The waterproof material 14 is made of a highly waterproof material. By sticking or installing the waterproof material 14 so as to cover the defecation collection bag mounting hole 12 and the groove 13A, the urine staying on the surface without being completely absorbed by the water absorbent sheet portion 10 travels on the surface of the water absorbent sheet portion 10. Even when the defecation collection bag mounting hole 12 or the groove 13A is reached, the urinating and leaking urine is prevented from coming into contact with the defecation collection bag 2. In addition, although the waterproof material 14 may be stuck on the surface of the water-absorbing sheet portion 10, the installation mode of the waterproof material 14 on the surface of the water-absorbing sheet portion 10 is not limited to this. It is good also as a structure which is installed in the surface of the sheet | seat part 10 and floats the outer periphery of the water absorption sheet | seat part 10, and pinches | interposes the waterproof raw material 14 in a clearance gap.

  The knob 15 has a tongue-like shape. For example, by providing a member for inserting and fixing the knob 15 on the underwear side, the excrement separating and collecting device 1 can be reliably installed inside the underwear, and by pulling the knob 15 at the time of attachment / detachment. The excrement separating and collecting device 1 can be taken out without touching the unsanitary surface of the water absorbing sheet portion 10 that has absorbed urine. Therefore, even after excretion, the excrement separation and recovery device 1 can be handled in a sanitary manner.

  The leakage prevention guard 16A is provided over the entire longitudinal direction along both longitudinal sides of the water absorbent sheet portion 10, and the front side is particularly large. Moreover, the leak-proof guard 16A is made of a waterproof material. By providing the leak-proof guard 16A, urination leakage to the abdomen side 10B of the water absorption sheet portion in the short and long directions of the excrement separating and collecting device 1 is prevented. Therefore, providing the leak-proof guard 16A is particularly beneficial when the wearer is male. It is desirable that the leak-proof guard 16A does not have a seam. This is because if there is a seam, leakage of urine may occur.

  In addition, although the raw material which has sufficient water absorption capability is used for the water absorption sheet | seat part 10, materials, such as knitted fabric which a touch is comfortable for a wearer, are preferably used for the material of the outermost surface of the surface side. In order to prevent close contact with the skin when sweating or to absorb urine instantaneously, a soft material having an uneven shape such as a mesh fabric or a waffle fabric may be used. The water absorbent sheet portion 10 may be configured as a reusable member using a washable material. However, when the water absorbent sheet portion 10 is configured as a disposable member, a polymer water absorbent material is used as a core material. May be.

  The water absorbing sheet part 10 may have elasticity. In this case, since the adherence of the excrement separator / collector 1 to the wearer's crotch portion is improved, a gap is generated between the collection port 22 of the defecation collection bag 2 and the wearer's anus. It is possible to prevent the collection of the stool to be leaked.

(Defecation collection bag storage unit 11)
Next, the defecation collection bag storage unit 11 will be described.
The defecation collection bag housing portion 11 is provided on the back side of the water absorbent sheet portion 10. As shown in FIG. 1A, the defecation collection bag storage unit 11 includes a defecation collection bag storage unit main body 17 and a piece member 18. The defecation collection bag 11 is installed on the back surface side of the water absorbent sheet portion 10 by bonding the upper surface 17A of the defecation collection bag housing portion main body 17 and the back surface side of the water absorbent sheet portion 10 together. The single member 18 is installed on the bottom surface of the defecation collection bag housing portion main body 17.

  The defecation collection bag storage unit main body 17 is a cylindrical or box-shaped member configured to be able to store the defecation collection bag 2. A defecation collection bag attachment hole (not shown) is formed on the upper surface of the defecation collection bag housing main body 17 at a position corresponding to the defecation collection bag attachment hole 12 of the water absorbent sheet portion 10. Further, the groove of the water absorbent sheet portion 10 extends from the defecation collection bag mounting hole of the defecation collection bag housing portion main body 17 to the end of the back side of the defecation collection bag housing portion main body 17 (the side located on the wearer's back side when worn). A groove 13B corresponding to 13A is formed. Therefore, the defecation collection bag 2 can be attached to the water absorbent sheet portion 10 and the defecation collection bag housing portion 11 in a state where the defecation collection bag housing portion main body 17 is adhered to the back surface of the water absorbent sheet portion 10.

  A bellows is formed on the side surface 17 </ b> B of the defecation collection bag housing portion main body 17. Thereby, while making the internal volume of the defecation collection bag accommodating part main body 17 variable, it can prevent becoming the state completely crushed. Therefore, the defecation collection bag 2 is accommodated inside the defecation collection bag housing portion main body 17 while maintaining a three-dimensional shape without being crushed. As a result, the collection leakage of the defecation collection bag 2 for defecation and the leakage of the collected material from the defecation collection bag 2 are prevented. Moreover, the feeling of pressure of the crotch part at the time of wear can be reduced by keeping the internal volume of the defecation collection bag accommodating part main body 17 to the minimum necessary.

  In addition, a defecation collection bag housing part support member (which is different from a support member described later) for supporting the bottom of the defecation collection bag housing part main body 17 may be provided on the underwear on which the waste collection / collection device 1 is installed. When providing the defecation collection bag accommodating part support member, the internal volume of the defecation collection bag accommodating part main body 17 may be adjustable. Thereby, the magnitude | size of the internal space of the defecation collection bag 2 accommodated in the defecation collection bag accommodating part main body 17 can be adjusted.

  The single member 18 is formed so as to be bendable so as to cover the opening portion of the tubular or box-like defecation collection bag housing portion main body 17. When the defecation collection bag 2 is accommodated, the longitudinal opening of the defecation collection bag housing portion main body 17 is covered by bending the longitudinal portion of the piece member 18. Thereby, the defecation collection bag 2 is prevented from protruding from the opening of the defecation collection bag housing portion main body 17, and the defecation collection bag 2 can be housed in a more stable state. Moreover, when the defecation collection bag 2 is removed, the defecation collection bag 2 can be detached with a smaller force by opening the piece member 18.

  The defecation collection bag housing part main body 17 having such a configuration is made of, for example, a stretchable material. Examples of the stretchable material include knitted fabric, jersey fabric, and stretch fabric. The defecation collection bag housing portion main body 17 made of a stretchable material has a function of preventing the defecation collection bag 2 from dropping out when the neck portion of the defecation collection bag 2 is detached from the defecation collection bag attachment hole 12. In addition, the defecation collection bag storage unit main body 17 also has a function of collecting defecation leaked from the defecation collection bag 2.

  In addition to the stretchability, the defecation collection bag housing portion main body 17 and the piece member 18 may be made of a material having breathability and waterproofness. For example, when a material having air permeability in addition to stretchability is used as a material constituting the defecation collection bag housing portion main body 17, moisture is prevented from staying in the excrement separation and collection device 1. This provides a comfortable comfort for the wearer. On the other hand, when a material having waterproofness in addition to stretchability is used as the material of the defecation collection bag housing main body 17, urination of the urine from the water absorbent material of the water absorbent sheet portion 10 is blocked. In addition, when a material having waterproofness in addition to stretchability is used as the material of the defecation collection bag housing portion 17, the outside of the defecation collection bag housing portion 11 even if the collected material of the defecation collection bag 2 leaks out. It is possible to prevent the collected material from leaking out. As a result, the wearer's clothes are prevented from being soiled.

(Defecation collection bag 2)
Next, the defecation collection bag 2 will be described.
The defecation collection bag 2 is provided on the back surface side of the water absorbent sheet portion 10 so as to be able to collect the wearer's defecation, and is housed in the defecation collection bag housing portion 11 and is made of a disposable material that does not cause pollution during dumping. It is a bag. By providing such a defecation collection bag 2, a wearer or a caregiver can perform defecation processing without touching the defecation directly and without suffering from stool odor. Further, when the defecation collection bag 2 is made of a water-soluble material, the defecation collection bag 2 containing the defecation can be directly dumped into the flush toilet. Accordingly, the defecation process can be easily and easily performed, and adhesion of the defecation to the toilet bowl can be suppressed, so that there is an advantage that the labor of cleaning the toilet can be reduced.

The defecation collection bag 2 is made of a material that can be dumped in, for example, a toilet or soil in a state in which the defecation is accommodated. The material that can be dumped in the toilet or the soil is, for example, a water-soluble (when dumped in the toilet or soil) or biodegradable (when dumped in the soil) material. In addition, when a water-soluble material is used as the material of the defecation collection bag 2, the material used for the defecation collection bag 2 is moderately water-soluble so that the defecation collection bag 2 is not dissolved before being discarded due to moisture in the defecation. It is necessary to have both properties and water resistance.
When the defecation collection bag 2 containing the defecation is incinerated, the material used for the defecation collection bag 2 is a flammable material that does not generate toxic gas during incineration and can be easily formed into a bag shape. Can be mentioned. Specific examples of such a combustible material include a waterproof cloth made of a resin such as polyethylene, waterproof paper, cotton, rayon and the like.

  The water-soluble or biodegradable material that can be dumped in the toilet or the soil described above is, for example, a water-soluble material such as PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) or a biodegradable material such as polylactic acid. In addition to PVA, for example, cold water-insoluble polyvinyl alcohol can be used as the water-soluble material. Cold water insoluble type polyvinyl alcohol is usually polyvinyl alcohol having a saponification degree of 95% or more (so-called completely saponified product) or vinyl acetate and a small amount of other vinyl monomers, for example, α-olefin such as ethylene and propylene, vinyl carboxylate, A saponified copolymer of alkyl vinyl ether, (meth) acrylate, acrylamide, unsaturated carboxylic acid (ester) or an anhydride thereof, or a compound reactive with the hydroxyl group of polyvinyl alcohol is reacted secondarily. A polymer obtained by grafting another polymer onto polyvinyl alcohol, or a polymer obtained by introducing or modifying a hydrophobic group into cold water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol having a saponification of 88% or less, and is insoluble in cold water. However, it is soluble in hot water such as 80 ° C.Of course, these polymers can also be used as a mixture.

  As shown in FIG. 1 (b), the defecation collection bag 2 has a bag main body 21, a collection port 22 provided at the neck of the bag main body 21, and an outer periphery of the collection port 22 (neck outer periphery of the defecation collection bag 2). And a check valve 24 provided along the inner periphery of the recovery port 22 (the inner periphery of the neck of the defecation recovery bag 2).

  The bag body 21 is a bag body that collects the defecation of the wearer. The bag body 21 is formed, for example, in a quadrangular pyramid shape, and has a gusset portion on the bottom surface. A collection port 22 for collecting defecation is provided at the neck of the bag body 21. Since the recovery port 22 is bent outward at the time of wearing, it is preferable that the inner surface of the recovery port 22 is subjected to surface processing that gives a comfortable wearing feeling to the wearer. The shape of the recovery port 22 is not limited to a circular shape, and may be, for example, an oval (ellipse) shape.

  A collar 23 is provided at the neck of the bag body 21. When the defecation collection bag 2 is accommodated in the waste collection / collection device 1, the collar 23 is attached to the defecation collection bag mounting hole 12 of the waste collection / collection device 1. The collar 23 has a trumpet shape or a flange shape, and is configured to prevent the defecation collection bag 2 from dropping out of the defecation collection bag mounting hole 12 and to increase the collection efficiency of the defecation from the collection port 22. Yes. For example, the collar 23 may be made of the same material as that of the bag body 21, or may be made of a material different from that of the bag body 21. In any case, the collar 23 is processed so as to have a strength enough to be locked in the defecation collection bag mounting hole 12 in a stable state of the neck portion of the defecation collection bag 2. Moreover, in order to improve adhesiveness with a wearer's anal part, adhesiveness may be provided to the surface of the collar 23, and the collar 23 may be affixed on an anus using an adhesive tape. In this way, by increasing the adhesion between the collar 23 and the anus, defecation can be accommodated in the defecation collection bag 2 without leakage, and the inflow of excess air into the defecation collection bag 2 can be suppressed. If excess air enters the defecation collection bag 2, it floats when dumped in the flush toilet, and the area of contact with water is reduced, so it takes time to dissolve the defecation collection bag 2 in water. It is preferable to suppress the inflow of excess air into the defecation collection bag 2 at the time of defecation collection.

  As the material constituting the collar 23, the above-mentioned water-soluble or biodegradable material that can be dumped in the toilet or the soil can be used. However, since it is a member that directly contacts the anus, It is preferable that the material is harmless. In addition to water-solubility and biodegradability, as a highly safe material for living bodies, for example, it is separated or recovered from the effluent of the silk fabric production process by the method described in Japanese Patent No. 3959452 and Japanese Patent No. 4019110 Sericin can be used.

  The check valve 24 is provided on the inner periphery of the neck portion of the bag body 21 and regulates the outflow of the collected material. The check valve 24 is composed of a plurality of tongue pieces that protrude from the outer periphery of the recovery port 22 toward the center. Each tongue piece member is formed into, for example, a petal shape or a rectangular shape, but is not limited thereto. If the shape of the tongue piece member of the check valve 24 is a simple shape such as a rectangle or a sector, the check valve 24 can be easily manufactured. The check valve 24 is preferably installed slightly downward from the attachment position of the defecation collection bag 2 to the neck portion toward the bag body 21.

  The check valve 24 may be made of the same material as the bag body 21 or may be made of a material different from the bag body 21. In any case, the check valve 24 is made of the same material as the defecation collection bag 2, for example, but is processed so as to have a strength that can restrict the outflow of the defecation. Further, the surface of the check valve 24 on the side in contact with the wearer's skin may be subjected to surface treatment that gives the wearer a comfortable wearing feeling.

  A water absorbent mat (not shown) may be laid on the inner bottom surface of the defecation collection bag 2. The water-absorbing bedcloth is composed of a water-soluble resin such as a polymer having water absorbency or PVA. In this way, by laying the water absorbing cloth on the bottom surface of the defecation collection bag 2, moisture contained in the defecation collected by the defecation collection bag 2 is absorbed and removed. Since the defecation from which moisture has been removed is increased in viscosity, it is difficult to leak out from the defecation collection bag 2 to the outside. As a result, the effect of preventing the leakage of defecation can be enhanced. For example, when the wearer discharges stool containing a lot of moisture, it is particularly beneficial to lay a water absorbent bedcloth on the inner bottom surface of the defecation collection bag 2. In the present embodiment, a water-soluble resin is used as the water absorbent cloth, but the present invention is not limited to this, and any water-soluble resin may be used.

As described above, when urine is collected by the defecation collection bag 2, the defecation collection bag 2 is made of a water-resistant material, or a water-absorbing material made of a polymer water-absorbing material is disposed inside the defecation collection bag 2. However, it is necessary to avoid contact of moisture with the defecation collection bag 2 as much as possible.

  Moreover, since the adhesion amount of the defecation to the surface of the water absorption sheet | seat part 10 can be reduced, the adhesion of the defecation to a wearer's buttocks can be suppressed. As a result, in the care site of the care worker, it is possible to reduce the heavy burden at the time of wiping and washing the buttocks of the care recipient, the widespread scattering of pathogens during defecation, the occurrence of infections associated therewith, and the spread of fecal odor it can.

  In particular, when the defecation collection bag 2 is made of a material that can be discarded in a toilet such as a water-soluble material or in the soil, the defecation can be easily performed. Specifically, since it can be disposed of in the toilet or the soil together with the collected defecation, a special disposal method is not required. For example, when the defecation collection bag 2 is water-soluble, it can be flushed directly to a flush toilet, and even in a draw-toilet toilet, water-soluble or biodegradable materials can be used. It can be processed.

  Further, since the neck portion of the defecation collection bag 2 is attached to the defecation collection bag mounting hole 12 of the excrement separation and collection device 1 and the groove 13A is provided, when removing the defecation collection bag 2, the excrement separation and collection device is provided. It can be easily removed by simple operations such as lightly shaking 1.

  The defecation collection bag 2 is provided with a check valve 24 to prevent the collected defecation from leaking out. Thereby, since a wearer's skin does not contact a defecation, generation | occurrence | production of inflammation, such as a wearer's peeling and a rash, is suppressed. In addition, the occurrence of cystitis is suppressed for a woman whose urethral opening and anus are close to each other.

  Further, by providing the leakage prevention guard 16A on either the outer periphery or the outer side of the excrement separating and collecting device 1, even if the amount of urination is larger than usual or when watery stool is excreted, the wearer Can be worn with confidence. Further, by providing the knob 15, the excrement separating and collecting device 1 can be replaced without directly touching the unsanitary surface.

It is possible to prevent urination from flowing into the bag 2 and the defecation collection bag 2 and the collar 23 of the defecation collection bag 2 from getting wet by urination. As a result, the defecation collection bag 2 is prevented from being dissolved by urination.

  As mentioned above, although the excrement separation collection | recovery device 1 which concerns on the 1st Embodiment of this invention was demonstrated, it is limited to these description about the structure of each member, material, etc. which comprise the excretion separation collection | recovery device 1. FIG. However, various modifications are possible as long as the same actions and effects are exhibited. Hereinafter, the example of a change about each member of the excrement separation collection device 1 concerning a 1st embodiment of the present invention is explained.

(Example of changing each member)
In the excrement separator / collector 1 according to the first embodiment described above (see FIG. 1A), the leak-proof guard 16A is disposed so as to cover the outer periphery of the water-absorbing sheet portion 10, but this is not limitative. Not. For example, as shown in FIG. 1C (the defecation collection bag 2A housed in the defecation collection bag housing portion 11 and the brim 23 of the defecation collection bag 2A are omitted), the first modification example is concerned. In the excrement separator / collector 1 </ b> A, the leakage prevention guard 16 </ b> B can be mainly formed only in the longitudinal direction of the outer edge portion of the water absorbent sheet portion 10. Moreover, it can also arrange | position on the both sides of the water absorption sheet | seat part 10. FIG. In the case of the female excrement separator / collector 1 </ b> A, the urine leakage prevention guard 16 </ b> B may be provided so as to be connected to the rear side from both sides of the water absorbent sheet portion 10. Thereby, the transmission leaking along the surface of the water absorbing sheet part 10 is prevented. In this way, by providing the leak-proof guard 16B, it is possible to prevent urination and leakage particularly in the short direction of the excrement separation and recovery device 1A. Therefore, providing the leak-proof guard 16B is beneficial when the wearer is a woman.

  Moreover, in this modification, it replaces with the defecation collection bag 2 mentioned above, and the defecation collection bag 2A provided with the bag main body 21A as shown in FIG.1 (d) is used. In addition, in FIG.1 (d), since a collection port, a collar, and a check valve are the same as the component of the defecation collection bag 2 mentioned above, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The bag main body 21A has a rectangular shape, and a bellows is formed on the side surface. By making the defecation collection bag 2A into such a shape, the space in the defecation collection bag 2A can be widely held, and the defecation can be easily collected.

  For example, when the defecation collection bag 2A is accommodated in a state where there is not enough space inside the excrement separation and collection device 1, the defecation collection bag 2A is crushed, the internal volume is reduced, and the collection port 22 is There is a risk of clogging at the bottom of the defecation collection bag 2A. Therefore, the side surface of the defecation collection bag 2A is formed in a bellows shape to prevent the defecation collection bag 2A from being completely crushed, thereby preventing the collection of the defecation collection.

  When laying the water-absorbing mat described above on the bottom surface of the defecation collection bag 2A, it is preferable that the bellows-shaped side surface be extended so as to maintain a fully extended state. In a state in which the side surface of the bellows shape is bent, the state is the same as when there are multiple layers of space inside the defecation collection bag 2A. Therefore, when the collected defecation stays in the uppermost space, the defecation and the water absorbent bedcloth are in a non-contact state, so that moisture contained in the defecation is not removed by water absorption and leaks from the defecation collection bag 2A. This is because there is a fear.

In this modification, the number of bellows layers is two. However, the number of bellows is not limited to this. For example, the number of layers may be three or more. By adjusting the number of bellows layers, the stretchability of the defecation collection bag 2A can be appropriately adjusted.

The excrement separator / collector attachment members 53A and 53B may be U-shaped members as shown in FIG. 5 (a), but have an arbitrary structure capable of supporting the excrement separator / collector 1. The shape may be appropriately selected according to the shape of the attachment portion (for example, the knob 15 or the like) of the excrement separating and collecting device 1.

The water-absorbing member is made of a water-absorbing material that can be used repeatedly. For example, the water-absorbing member is provided in the entire support member 5, that is, in the front support member 50, the rear support member 51, and the crotch portion 52. The water absorbing portion provided in the support member 5 has a function as a spare water absorbing body that absorbs the urine that has not been absorbed by the water absorbing sheet portion 10 when the urine amount exceeds the water absorbing amount of the water absorbing sheet portion 10.
In addition, in this Embodiment, although the water absorption part was provided in the whole support member 5, it is not limited to this. For example, a water absorption part may be provided only in the crotch part 52 of the support member 5. By providing the water absorbing portion only in the crotch portion 52 of the support member 5, the thickness of the support member 5 can be kept to the minimum necessary. Therefore, the support member 5 is provided with a function as a spare water absorbing body and also has a functionality that does not hinder the wearer's operation.
Moreover, when a water absorption part is not provided in the support member 5, it becomes useful for the wearer with a little care degree and many movements. This is because higher functionality is imparted compared to the case where the water absorbing portion is provided only in the crotch portion 52 of the support member 5.

  The leak-proof guard 55 is a member made of an impermeable material provided along both longitudinal ends of the front support member 50 and the rear support member 51. By providing this leak-proof guard 55, even when the amount of urination is large, such as while sleeping, urine leakage along the surface of the support member 5 is prevented. As a result, the wearer's clothes are not soiled.

  The joining members 57 </ b> A and 57 </ b> B are made of, for example, a double-sided tape or a hook-and-loop fastener and are provided at the hem opening of the hem portion 58. By providing the joining members 57A and 57B, the support member 5 can be easily attached and detached. Accordingly, the support member 5 can be easily attached and detached by the wearer or caregiver.

As described above, in the self-supporting underwear 100, the excrement separator / collector 1 is disposed inside the underwear body 4 and the insertion hole 41 is provided in the underwear body 4, so that the underwear body 4 is worn. The excrement separator / collector 1 can be easily taken out from the insertion hole 41.
In particular, when the support member 5 disposed on the outside of the underwear body 4 has flexibility, excretion can be achieved by stretching and deploying only the front support member 50 in the forward direction with the rear support member 51 mounted. The object separation / recovery device 1 can be taken out. Therefore, it is not necessary to remove the entire support member 5 every time the excrement separation and recovery device 1 is replaced, and the wearer can easily remove or replace the excretion separation and recovery device 1.
Further, only the rear support member 51 can be pulled out and deployed with the front support member 50 mounted. Therefore, at the time of defecation, it is also possible to defecate to the toilet without using the defecation collection bag 2. In addition, when the buttock is wiped after defecation, the buttock can be easily wiped from the gap formed by developing the rear support member 51. Furthermore, by deploying the rear support member 51 during wearing without defecation, even if the wearer is in a lying state, the ventilation of the buttocks can be maintained. As a result, it is beneficial for early treatment of pressure sores around the sacrum of the bedridden. That is, by opening the back (the back side of the wearer), for example, when the wearer is an infant, a third party (guardian) who is not the wearer can easily remove the excrement separation and recovery device 1. it can. In addition, about the wearing method, selection by a wearer or a caregiver is possible.

  Further, since the support member 5 is mounted outside the underwear main body 4 so that the position of the crotch portion 52 can be adjusted up and down, the size of the space in the excrement separation and recovery device 1 that supports the bottom portion by the support member 5. Can be adjusted, and the space in the excrement separator / collector 1 can be enlarged by lowering the support member. As a result, the defecation collection bag 2 accommodated in the excrement separation / collection device 1 can be expanded.

  The end portions on both sides of the excrement separator / collector 1 after use are removed from the excrement separator / collector attachment members 53A and 53B of the support member and the underwear body 4, and only the support member 5 having a water absorption function is a spare water absorber. As a result, the number of replacements can be reduced, and the wearer can be replaced on the bed in a comfortable posture at night without waking up, reducing the burden on the wearer or care worker. Can do.

  In the support member having the above-described configuration, for example, a water-absorbing material and a waterproof material or a natural material (surface cloth) can be combined. Thereby, it is possible to select a support member having an optimal function in accordance with the wearer's request, such as a thin structure that emphasizes air permeability or a thick structure that is excellent in water absorption.

  As described above, according to the self-supporting underwear 100, by providing the excrement separating and collecting device 1 and the defecation collecting bag 2, the urine is absorbed by the excrement separating and collecting device 1, and the defecation collecting bag 2 can also be used. Defecation can be collected. The defecation collection bag 2 is provided with a check valve 24 to prevent the collected defecation from leaking out. Thereby, since a wearer does not touch a defecation directly, generation | occurrence | production of inflammation, such as a wearer's peeling and a rash resulting from the contact of a defecation, is suppressed. As a result, the care worker who cares for the wearer does not need to perform the treatment of inflammation, and the burden of care can be reduced. Furthermore, by preventing the spread of pathogens in the stool that are highly infectious to caregivers into the atmosphere, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of mass infection in care facilities.

  In particular, in the self-supporting underwear 100, the support member 5 that contains the excrement separating and collecting device 1 and the defecation collecting bag 2 can be easily taken out from the insertion hole 41 formed in the crotch portion of the underwear main body 4. When the degree is mild, the wearer can perform the post-defecation process without requiring the help of a care worker.

  Furthermore, since the entire defecation collection bag 2 is made of water-soluble resin, the defecation can be dumped into the toilet or the soil while being stored in the defecation collection bag 2. Thereby, the wearer can easily perform the defecation disposal process.

  In addition, since the knob 15 is disposed at the longitudinal edge of the excrement separating and collecting device 1, when the defecation is discarded, the wearer collects the defecation collection bag 2 or the urine containing the defecation. Therefore, it is not necessary to touch the water absorbing sheet portion 10 itself that has absorbed the stool, and the treatment after defecation or urination can be performed hygienically.

  Moreover, a wearer can wear in comfort by arranging the support member provided with the water absorption capability also under the excrement separation recovery device 1 so that it can cope with the urine leakage exceeding the water absorption capability of the excretion separation recovery device 1. In addition, the exchange of clothes and bedding can be reduced.

  Moreover, you may provide the underwear main body 4 with the member (not shown) for preventing the shift | offset | difference of a supporting member. Leakage due to misalignment of the support member 5 and the excrement separator / collector 1 due to these members and the excrement separator / collector attachment members 53A and 53B provided on the back surface of the support member 5, and a sense of incongruity around the wearer's crotch Further, when the support member 5 is removed by a toilet or the like, the excrement separating and collecting device 1 can be prevented from falling, so that the burden of the care worker often picking up can be reduced.

  In addition, since all of the water-absorbing materials incorporated in the underwear body 4, the support member 5 and the excrement separator / collector 1 that can be used repeatedly are not generated every time they are used, they cannot be solved with paper diapers made of pulp. It is possible to solve the problem.

  Moreover, the separate structure excretion separator / collector 1 can change the history of human diapers over many years, and can easily and hygienically perform post-excretion stool processing that has been hated in the nursing menu. This can be expected to reduce the turnover rate of caregivers and raise the employment rate of youth for caregivers. Moreover, for the wearer, diaper rash caused by an increase in alkalinity can be reduced by mixing feces and urine in the diaper.

  The self-supporting underwear 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to these items, and various modifications can be made. Hereinafter, the example of a change of each member of the self-supporting underwear which concerns on the 2nd Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.
