  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

  Referring to FIG. 1, a disposable apron 10 of the present invention (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as “apron”) is made of plastic or paper having one surface (rear surface) 10 a waterproofed. An apron body 20 made of a flexible thin material such as a non-woven fabric and covering the front of the chest of the wearer, and fastening means 30 for attaching the apron body 20 to the wearer.

  In this example, the surface (rear surface) 10a of the apron 10 that has been subjected to the waterproof processing is a waterproof surface that comes into contact with the wearer, and the other surface (the front surface) 10b that is not subjected to the waterproof processing is the apron body 20, for example, a hydrophilic surface. By using a thin material having a property, a water-absorbing surface having a water-absorbing property is obtained.

  In addition, the back surface 10a of the apron 10 may have, for example, a waterproof property that prevents permeation of water, beverages, and the like. For example, in addition to waterproof processing using a film or a laminate, appropriate processing may be performed by hydrophobic processing that repels water. What is necessary is just to have waterproofness.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the apron main body 20 and the fastening means 30 are formed in one sheet, and the apron main body 20 is provided at substantially the center in the width direction of the apron main body. An opening 40 is formed which is positioned around the neck and locked around the neck of the wearer.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the opening 40 has a circular locking opening 41 that is locked around the wearer's neck, and is locked around the wearer's neck by being aligned with the locking opening 41. With the triangular positioning opening 42 to be formed, the whole thereof has a drop shape and is integrally formed.

  In this example, the positioning opening 42 has, as an apex, an end point L1b of a cutting line L1, which will be described later, and a drooping line 42a that hangs substantially vertically from the end point L1b of the cutting line L1 to the locking opening 41, and an end point L1b of the cutting line L1 And an inclined side 42b that is inclined at a predetermined angle from the lock opening 41.

  In addition, in this example, when the junction between the hanging side 41a and the inclined side 42b and the locking opening 41 is attached to the apron body 20 by the user, the locking opening 41 and the positioning opening 42 It is formed so as to be on the shoulder line A (see FIG. 1).

  The fastening means 30 is composed of one strip 31 formed along the upper side 21 of the apron body 20 and an insertion slit 32 into which the one strip 31 is inserted and locked. .

  The strip 31 is cut through a cutting line L1 provided along the upper side 21 of the apron main body 20, and the cutting line L1 is formed on one side (left side in FIG. 1) 22 of the apron main body 20. Is defined as a starting point L1a, and a slightly left side from the center in the width direction of the apron main body 20 is defined as an end point L1b.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the strip 31 is cut off while being connected to the apron main body 20 at the end point L1b side of the cutting line L1 on the side 22 side of the apron main body 20 as a free end 31a. .

  Further, in this case, the cutting line L1 is formed as a perforation in which the cutting side forms a continuous cut when the strip 31 is cut out. In this example, the cutting line L1 is used as an opening of the packaging box. For example, a perforation shape similar to a perforation by zipper processing such as a wheat ear shape is used.

  As described above, since the continuous cut is formed in the strip 3, the insertion resistance can be given when the strip 3 is inserted into the insertion slit 32 described later, and the strip 31 can be securely inserted into the insertion slit 32. Can be fastened to.

  In addition, by providing a continuous cut, it is possible to adjust the cut in the insertion slit 32 in multiple stages by the fixing position of the cut, and cut the cut into the insertion slit 31 without using fixing means such as an adhesive. Since it is simply fastened, it can be repeatedly attached and detached.

  In the present embodiment, the insertion slit 32 is formed of a linear slit (cut) provided adjacent to the hanging line 42a of the positioning opening 42. In this example, eight linear slits intersect at their centers. It is formed from radial slits.

  Next, a usage example of the disposable apron 10 of the present invention will be described. First, the strip 31 is separated from the apron main body 20 via the cutting line L1. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, the vertex of the positioning opening 42 (the connection point between the perpendicular 42a and the inclined side 42b) is also cut off.

  Then, the free end 31 a of the strip 31 is inserted into the insertion slit 32. In this case, the strip 31 may be inserted into the insertion slit 32 on either the front or back surface 20a, 20b side of the apron body 20, but this causes the inclined side 42b of the positioning opening 42 to hang down as shown in FIG. It moves along the side 41a, the positioning opening 42 gradually decreases, and the opening 40 changes from a drop shape to a circular shape that can be locked around the neck of the wearer.

  Next, when the opening 40 is at an appropriate position around the neck of the wearer, the apron body is worn by the wearer as shown in FIG. 4 by fastening the strip 31 to the insertion slit 32. be able to.

  Thus, the cut (cut side) of the strip 31 can be locked to the insertion slit 32, so that the strip 31 does not fall off from the insertion slit 32, and the apron body can be stably worn by the wearer. be able to.

  In FIG. 1, the upper side 21 of the apron body 20 is formed as a perforation similar to the cutting side L1, but only the upper side 21 facing the cutting side L1 is provided with the same perforation as the cutting line L1. May be.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the locking opening 41 and the positioning opening 42 are formed such that the junction between the hanging side 42a and the inclined side 42b and the locking opening 41 is on the shoulder line A of the wearer. Therefore, when the wearer wears the apron body 20, the fastening means 30 (the strip 31 inserted through the insertion slit 32) is positioned on the back side of the wearer (see FIG. 4). .

  Therefore, for example, when the disposable apron 10 of the present invention is worn on a patient in a dental clinic, the fastening means 30 is located between the patient and the chair, so that the strip 31 is inadvertently placed. It does not fall off from the insertion slit 32.

  In the above embodiment, the apron main body 20 and the attaching means 30 have been described as being formed in one sheet. However, as shown in FIG. A cutting line L <b> 2 for cutting may be provided continuously along the upper side 11 of the apron body 20 in the sheet body.

  Further, like the cutting line L1, the cutting line L2 is, for example, an ear-shaped perforated barley so that a continuous cut is formed when the cutting is performed. 31 can be securely locked to the insertion slit 32.

  In this case, the apron main body 20, the attaching means 30, the opening 40, and the cutting lines L1 and L2 can be easily formed by pressing a cutter having a required shape on a sheet transferred by a conveyor or the like. can do.

  Then, the long sheet provided with the disposable apron 10 continuously can be housed compactly, for example, by being wound in a roll shape, and the usability can be improved.

  In the above embodiment, the insertion slits 32 through which the strips 31 are inserted are formed as radial slits of eight linear slits. However, the insertion slits 32 of the present invention securely engage the cuts of the strip 31. Anything that can be performed is not particularly limited.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), four linear slits are arranged in a cross shape around a circular hole, or as shown in FIG. 6 (b), two linear slits are formed. It may be a cross-shaped insertion slit crossing at the center position.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), L-shaped linear slits are arranged so that their vertices face each other, and as shown in FIG. 6 (d), four slits are formed at their ends. May be arranged in a cross so as to face each other.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6 (e), V-shaped linear slits may be radially arranged such that their vertices are opposed to each other. Various shapes including two or more linear slits are included.

  As described above, the simple operation of inserting the strip 31 into the insertion slit 32 allows the apron main body 2 to be positioned and locked around the wearer's neck, and the strip 31 and the insertion slit 32 Is attached by the cut (cut side) of the strip 31, so that it can be attached and detached plural times (repeatedly).

  In addition, in the said embodiment, although the size of the disposable apron 10 is not specifically limited, it may be suitably designed according to age and gender, such as for adult male / female, for children, for infants, etc. The lines L1 and L2 may be perforations of an appropriate shape in which continuous cuts are formed on the cut sides of the strip, and are not limited to the above embodiment.
