  However, there are a large number of aprons having a function resistant to dirt and the like in this way, but there are few aprons having a function for wearability, and an apron is attached to the body as shown in FIG. Often uses string. When an apron is worn on the body using such a string, in order to fix the waist part to the body, the hand must be turned behind the waist to tie the string. Also, because the knot is behind, you cannot see the tying work with your eyes.

  This is often difficult for the physically handicapped and the elderly who use a wheelchair, and it is very troublesome to attach and detach the apron used in daily life such as meals. Moreover, in the situation where the apron has to be frequently attached and detached as in the restaurant business, the operation of fixing or unwinding with the string or the like behind has impaired the work efficiency.

  Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an apron in which an elastic annular aggregate that is freely opened and closed and is urged in the closing direction is arranged around the waist so that the opening and closing part is on the back side. The second device provides an apron further having a front pocket, the opening of the front pocket being biased in the opening direction by an elastic semicircular aggregate.

  By using the apron of the present invention, the apron can be easily attached and detached.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of each invention will be described. Note that the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and can be implemented in various modes without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

The relationship between the following embodiments and the claims is as follows. The first embodiment will mainly describe claim 1 and the like. In the second embodiment, claim 2 will be mainly described.
<< Embodiment 1 >>
<Outline of Embodiment 1>

This embodiment is an apron in which an elastic annular aggregate that can be opened and closed and is urged in the closing direction is arranged around the waist so that the opening and closing part is on the back side.
<Configuration of Embodiment 1>

  The present embodiment relates to an apron in which an elastic annular aggregate that is freely opened and closed and is urged in the closing direction is arranged around the waist so that the opening and closing part is on the back side.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of an apron in the present embodiment. FIG. 1A is a front view of the apron of the present embodiment, and FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the apron in the present embodiment has an “elastic annular aggregate” (0101) at the waist. In addition, opening and closing of the waist portion of the apron using the elastic annular aggregate is performed by the opening and closing portion (0102) on the back side.

  Here, the “elastic annular aggregate” will be described with reference to FIG. 2. The “elastic annular aggregate” is urged in an annular closing direction unless it has elasticity and no force is applied from the outside. ) Is retained. The material is preferably a resin such as plastic, but may be a metal having elasticity such as a spring. The elastic annular aggregate is openable and closable. When a force such as the direction B in FIG. 2B is applied, the free end (0201) spreads outward, so that the shape shown in FIG. . However, since the elastic annular aggregate has elasticity, once the applied force is removed, it returns to the shape of (a). Therefore, since the apron of this embodiment has installed this elastic cyclic | annular aggregate in a waist part, an apron can be fitted to a user's waist part by utilizing the said elastic force. In addition, a cross section taken along line XX of (a) and viewed from the A direction is shown in (c) or (d). As shown in (c) or (d), the cross section of the elastic annular aggregate may have a substantially arc-shaped cross section that warps the inside of the ring or warps the outside. This substantially arc-shaped cross-sectional shape has the effect of increasing the elastic force.

  Moreover, you may comprise so that an elastic cyclic | annular aggregate can be attached or detached from the waist part of an apron. As an example of the attaching and detaching method, there is a method of extracting or inserting the elastic annular aggregate inserted into the bag-like portion provided along the apron's waist portion by opening and sliding the end portion of the bag-like portion. Conceivable. By configuring the elastic annular aggregate so that it can be detached from the apron's waist, there are advantages such as easy washing of the apron. Further, when the apron fabric is made of vinyl or thin plastic, the apron and the annular elastic aggregate may be integrally formed as the annular elastic aggregate by giving the waist the thickness to give the elasticity described above. .

  Here, the conceptual diagram of the apron mounting method of this embodiment is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3A, the elastic annular aggregate is spread with both hands or the like to form a “C” shape and is matched to the user's waist. As shown in (b), when the hand that spreads the elastic ring-shaped aggregate is released, the elastic ring-shaped aggregate returns to the ring shape again due to the elasticity described above, so that it fits the user's waist.

  Further, the apron may be worn on the body by a wearing method as shown in FIG. However, the figure shown in FIG. 4 here is a conceptual diagram of the cross section of the elastic annular aggregate (0401) installed in the waist part of the apron and the cross section of the body waist part (0402). As shown in FIG. 4A, the elastic annular aggregate is moved in the direction of the arrow and pressed against the body waist. Next, as shown in (b), the pressed elastic annular aggregate hits the waist of the body and the free end opens. Thereafter, as shown in (c), when the elastic annular aggregate is further pressed, the free end of the elastic annular aggregate opens so as to wrap around the body waist. Finally, as shown in (d), the free end of the elastic annular aggregate that wraps around the back side of the body waist portion tries to return to the annular shape by the elastic force of the elastic annular aggregate. Fixed. Conversely, the apron can be worn in the same manner by pressing the user's body against the apron side.

  In addition, cloth is usually used as the material for the apron fabric, but it may have water repellency and waterproof functions in order to prevent water and dirt from adhering. In addition, when an operation using heat is performed in a kitchen or the like (baking bread or the like), a heat-resistant or fire-resistant material may be used for the dough in consideration of the case where a food with heat or the like adheres. Moreover, when thinking about a disposable use, you may select the thing made from paper for cloth. In addition, when the fabric has water repellency or water resistance as described above, a normal fabric may be used as the lining that contacts the body in consideration of the user's comfort.

Further, the apron collar portion may be configured to be openable and closable, and the apron portion may be closed to prevent the apron from falling off the user's neck. As the structure that can be opened and closed, sticking with Velcro (registered trademark) is preferable in consideration of simplicity, but a normal button or snap button fastening may be used in consideration of design and the like. Further, by gathering both chest side portions, both chest side portions can be expanded and contracted from the vicinity of the collar, so that the collar portion can be closed regardless of the user's body shape.
<Effect of Embodiment 1>

By using the apron in this embodiment, the apron can be attached and detached easily. Moreover, since the waist part of the apron fits the user's waist due to the elastic effect of the elastic annular aggregate, the shift of the apron at the time of work is eliminated, and further, the design at the time of wearing is not impaired when the dress is designed.

<Outline of Embodiment 2>

The present embodiment further includes a front pocket, and the opening of the front pocket is an apron that is biased in the opening direction by an elastic semicircular aggregate.
<Configuration of Embodiment 2>

  The present embodiment relates to an apron that further includes a front pocket, and the opening of the front pocket is biased in the opening direction by an elastic semicircular aggregate.

  FIG. 5 shows an apron pocket (0501) of the present embodiment. An “elastic semicircular aggregate” (0502) is installed in the pocket opening of the apron of this embodiment. When the material of the main body fabric has water repellency and waterproofness like the apron of Embodiment 1, it is preferable that the pocket material also has water repellency and water resistance. In addition, when the pocket receives a large amount of dirt containing moisture such as spilled food, the dough to be used may be doubled.

  The “elastic semicircular aggregate” has a semicircular shape as shown in FIG. 5 (b), and has elasticity and is biased in the semicircular opening direction when no force is applied from the outside. Therefore, an elastic semicircular aggregate can be installed in the pocket opening part of the apron of this embodiment, and a pocket opening part can be hold | maintained by utilizing the said elastic force. The material is preferably a resin such as plastic, but may be a metal having elasticity such as a spring. Further, the elastic semicircular aggregate may be configured to be detachable from the pocket portion. As an example of the attaching / detaching method, the elastic semicircular aggregate inserted into the bag-like portion provided along the apron pocket opening is extracted or inserted by opening and sliding the end of the bag-like portion. A method etc. can be considered. Thus, there exists an advantage that the washing | cleaning of an apron becomes easy by comprising so that an elastic semicircle-shaped aggregate can be attached or detached from the pocket of an apron. Also, if the fabric of the apron pocket is made of vinyl or thin plastic, the apron and elastic semicircular aggregates are used as elastic semicircular aggregates by giving the openings the above-mentioned elasticity. You may form integrally.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6A, the position of the opening of the pocket (0601) is matched with the waist where the elastic annular aggregate (0603) used in Embodiment 1 is installed, and is used in this embodiment. The elastic semicircular aggregate (0602) may be connected. FIG. 6B shows a cross-sectional view of the cross section cut horizontally along the line XX in FIG. Here, (b) shows a state where the apron is installed on the user's body (0604). As shown in (b), the elastic annular aggregate and the elastic semicircular aggregate are connected at a location indicated by (0605). Thus, the opening of the pocket becomes more reliable by connecting the elastic annular aggregate and the elastic semicircular aggregate.
<Effect of Embodiment 2>

  The apron according to this embodiment is provided with an elastic semicircular aggregate in the pocket so that the pocket is always open regardless of the apron state. It is possible to reliably receive dirt, etc. during work attached to the floor without dropping it on the floor. In addition, by using a fabric having waterproofness and water repellency, it becomes easy to clean dirt in the pocket. Moreover, by making the cloth double, it is possible to prevent liquid dirt and the like from leaking from the sewing gap. Moreover, the opening of a pocket can be made more reliable by comprising an elastic annular aggregate and an elastic semicircular aggregate.
