  However, the clothing provided with the above-mentioned conventional cushioning member has a problem that the appearance is impaired because the clothing has a shape that swells outward when worn with the cushioning member attached. When worn under limited circumstances such as when riding a motorcycle or bicycle, it can be said that the wearer is more likely to accept the fact that the appearance is impaired instead of obtaining safety. However, the sacrifice of appearance for safety in everyday wear is forgiving to the wearer. In this case, the wearer is an elderly person, etc., and avoids wearing because wearing the clothes with the cushioning member gives psychological resistance to performing daily life. In some cases, it may cause a fracture or the like.

  In addition, when care is required when wearing clothes, such as a care receiver, consideration is given not only to the comfort and ease of putting on and taking off, but also the burden on the caregiver such as ease of removal and ease of wearing. Must. In this respect, if the cushioning member is detachable as in the above-mentioned conventional clothing, there is a problem that it takes time and effort to remove the cushioning member at the time of washing, which increases the burden on the caregiver.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such problems, and does not impair the appearance, and is not only easy to take off and attach, but also takes into consideration the burden of a caregiver such as ease of taking off and wearing, and shock resistance. An object of the present invention is to provide clothing with excellent properties.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, clothing excellent in impact resistance according to the present invention is clothing provided with a cushioning member that absorbs shock and pressure applied to the indirect portion of the wearer, wherein the cushioning member is It is formed of a flexible polyurethane foam and is fixed to the skin side of the wearer.

  According to this, since the cushioning member is formed of a flexible polyurethane foam and is fixed to the skin side of the wearer, that is, the inside of the garment, the cushioning member rises to the outside of the garment and becomes unsightly. And good appearance can be maintained. In addition, since the cushioning member is fixed inside the garment, it is not necessary to attach or detach the cushioning member. As a result, the garment can be easily taken off and worn, and the burden on the caregiver can be reduced.

  Here, it is preferable that the buffer member has an opening in which a hole penetrating the buffer member is opened in a dot shape, and the opening has 200 to 250 openings per 10 square centimeters in a plane of the buffer member. More preferably, the portions are formed at a ratio occupying 5 to 10%.

  According to this, the provision of the opening allows the flexible polyurethane foam cushioning member to flex more appropriately following the movement of the wearer, thereby improving the comfort when worn. be able to.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that a recessed portion into which the cushioning member is fitted is provided on the skin side of the wearer, and the cushioning member is preferably sewn to the skin side of the wearer via a patch cloth.

  According to this, the buffer member does not protrude toward the inside of the garment, that is, the skin side of the wearer, so that good comfort can be maintained, and the buffer member is easily fixed to the inside of the garment by the patch cloth. be able to.

  Further, the present invention is a method for manufacturing a garment provided with a cushioning member for absorbing shock and pressure applied to an indirect portion of a wearer, wherein a flexible polyurethane foam is provided on the skin side of the wearer of the garment. The method may include a step of fixing the formed cushioning member, and may be configured as a method of manufacturing clothing having excellent impact resistance.

  As described above, according to the clothing excellent in impact resistance according to the present invention, clothing excellent in impact resistance can be realized without deteriorating the appearance and considering the burden on the caregiver.

It is a front view of an upper garment concerning an embodiment of the present invention. It is a rear view of the upper garment concerning embodiment of this invention. It is a front view of the lower garment concerning embodiment of this invention. It is a rear view of the lower garment concerning embodiment of this invention. It is a figure showing composition of a buffer member. It is sectional drawing of the attachment part of the cushion member to clothing.

  Hereinafter, a garment having excellent impact resistance according to the present invention will be described based on an embodiment.

  The garment having excellent impact resistance according to the present invention is a garment provided with a cushioning member that absorbs an impact or pressure applied to an indirect part such as a shoulder or a femur of a wearer. Here, the upper garment and the lower garment will be described as an example, but the upper garment and the lower garment may be integrated.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of an upper garment according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a rear view thereof.

  The upper garment 1 includes, on the skin side of the wearer, a shoulder cushioning member 11 that absorbs a shock to the wearer's shoulder and an elbow cushioning member 12 that absorbs a shock to the wearer's elbow.

  The shoulder cushioning member 11 extends from the shoulder in the direction of the elbow and is arranged so as to cover not only the shoulder but also the upper arm.

  The elbow cushioning member 12 is arranged so that the ratio of covering the rear side of the elbow, that is, the rear side is higher than the front side. This is because when the wearer is assumed to be an elderly person, the upper garment 1 has a structure in which the back body is widened in consideration of the amount of exercise, and the frontal choreography of the sleeves and the amount of exercise of the elbow are taken into consideration because the wearer tends to lean forward when worn. Is added.

  FIG. 3 is a front view of the lower garment according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a rear view thereof.

  The lower garment 2 includes a side pelvic cushioning member 21 that absorbs impact on the side pelvis and the femur of the wearer, a knee cushioning member 22 that absorbs impact on the wearer's knee, and the like. A buttocks buffering member 23 for absorbing a shock or the like to the buttocks is provided on the skin side of the wearer. Here, the side pelvic cushioning member 21 and the knee cushioning member 22 are illustrated only on the left side of the wearer, but are preferably arranged on both left and right sides.

  The side pelvic cushioning member 21 is arranged so as to cover both the front side and the back side up to around the thigh so as to cover from the wearer's side pelvis to the femur.

  The knee cushioning member 22 is disposed on the front side so as to absorb not only the impact on the shin but also the knee.

  The buttocks buffer member 23 is arranged only on the back side. The buttocks, together with the femur, are likely to become serious when the elderly fracture. In addition, the buttocks are parts that are less likely to care about the arrangement of the cushioning member in the movement of daily life than other parts. For this reason, the cushioning member arranged on the buttocks cushioning member 23 may have a greater thickness than the cushioning members arranged on other parts to enhance the shock absorbing force.

  The lower garment 2, taking into account the momentum, taking into account the ease of wearing, putting on, taking off, and taking off, giving pleats and darts to the places where the momentum is required, giving a three-dimensional silhouette, The streets are good and comfortable to wear. In addition, in the conventional nursing clothing, a large size is prepared for the wearer in order to make it easier for the caregiver to wear, but as a result, there is a risk that the clothes become wrinkled and cause bedsores. It is not preferable because there is.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the cushioning member.

  The cushioning member 5 is disposed in each part as a shoulder cushioning member 10, an elbow cushioning member 11, a side pelvic cushioning member 21, a knee cushioning member 22, and a buttock cushioning member 23, and absorbs shock and pressure applied to each joint part. And is formed of a flexible polyurethane foam. The thickness of the cushioning member 5 is about 5 mm, and the polyurethane foam bends following the movement of the wearer.

  The buffer member 5 has an opening 6 in which a hole penetrating the buffer member 5 is opened in a dot shape. The provision of the opening 6 ensures air permeability, and the buffer member 5 flexibly follows the movement of the wearer, so that the comfort during wearing is improved. In order to exhibit this appropriate bending, the openings 6 are preferably formed in such a manner that 200 to 250 openings 6 per 10 square centimeters occupy 5 to 10% in the plane of the cushioning member 5.

  Although the cushioning member 5 is fixed to the inside of the garment, that is, to the skin side of the wearer, it may be arranged so as to be exposed to the skin side of the wearer. It is preferable to fix to, for example, sew on the wearer's skin side via a patch cloth 7 covering the entire surface (the side on the side in contact with the wearer's skin). This is because, when sewing to clothing, it is easier to sew through the pad cloth 7 than to sew the cushioning member 5 made of polyurethane foam as it is.

  Further, since the patch cloth 7 may directly touch the skin of the wearer, it is preferable to use a material having good touch (for example, cotton or hemp). Further, it is more preferable that the backing cloth 7 is also made of coarse cloth such as a mesh having good air permeability so as not to hinder the air permeability of the cushioning member 5. By improving the air permeability of the cushioning member 5 and the backing cloth 7, the clothes can be easily dried when the clothes are washed, and the burden on the wearer and caregiver of the clothes can be reduced.

  In addition, if emphasizing that the padding cloth 7 fixes the cushioning member 5 to the inside of the garment, even if it does not cover one entire surface of the cushioning member 5, the cushioning member 5 can be fixed to the garment. It can be said that it is sufficient to cover only the part.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically showing a cross section of an attachment portion for explaining how to attach the cushioning member 5 to clothing.

  The cushioning member 5 is arranged on the garment skin side 4 of the garment, which is the skin side of the wearer, and is fixed by the sewing portion 9 via the patch cloth 7. Although the cushioning member 5 may be arranged on the clothing skin side 4 as it is, a convex portion is formed on the clothing skin side 4 by the thickness of the cushioning member 5, which may impair comfort. Therefore, it is preferable to provide a concave portion 8 which is a concave portion capable of accommodating the buffer member 5 toward the clothing outer side 3 on the clothing skin side 4, and to fit the buffer member 5 into the concave portion 8. Thereby, it is possible to keep the cushioning member 5 from protruding toward the clothing skin side 4 and to maintain good comfort.

  As described above, according to the clothing with excellent impact resistance according to the present embodiment, a cushioning member that absorbs an impact to an indirect portion or the like is formed of a flexible polyurethane foam, and is used by a wearer. Since the cushioning member is fixed to the skin side, that is, the inside of the garment, the cushioning member does not have the appearance of rising to the outside of the garment, and the appearance is not impaired. Further, since the cushioning member is fixed inside the garment, it is not necessary to attach and detach the cushioning member, so that the cushioning member can be easily detached and worn, and the burden on the caregiver can be reduced. Furthermore, since the cushioning member is formed of a flexible polyurethane foam, and the hole penetrating the cushioning member is opened in a dot shape, the cushioning member follows the movement of the wearer and flexes appropriately to be worn when worn. Good comfort.

  As described above, the clothing with excellent impact resistance according to the present invention has been described based on the embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can achieve the object of the present invention and do not depart from the gist of the invention. Various design changes are possible within the scope, all of which are included in the technical scope of the present invention.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the cushioning member is sewn to the inside of the garment via the patch cloth, and is fixed. Other fixing means such as a fixing means may be used.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the cushioning member is arranged to protect the shoulder, the elbow, the pelvis side, the knee, and the buttocks has been described. However, it is needless to say that other indirect parts may be protected.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY Clothing excellent in impact resistance according to the present invention is useful as clothing provided with a cushioning member that absorbs impact on a joint part of a wearer. It is also suitable as clothing for a cared person requiring care.
