Description

The present invention relates to clothing such as trousers and skirts that store shock absorbing pads.

  Elderly and osteoporotic patients have a high risk of fracture of the proximal femur when they fall, and the use of hip protectors is recommended to reduce that risk. Hip protectors with shock absorbing pads attached to underwear (Patent Documents 1 and 2), those attached with hook-and-loop fasteners to the outside of paper diapers (Patent Document 3), supporter type (Patent Document 4), and wound skirt type (Patent document 5) etc. are disclosed.

  It is desirable that the shock absorbing material is attached so as to be in close contact with the proximal portion of the femur, which is easy to break, and the underwear-type hip protectors disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 achieve this in both functional compatibility with the underwear. In addition, as shown in Patent Document 1, a pad having a high impact absorbing ability has been developed even if it is thin in order to reduce the uncomfortable feeling at the time of wearing.

  Some elderly people who are in a care state with a high risk of fractures wear paper diapers. In that case, it is difficult to attach an underwear type on a diaper in terms of attachment and detachment. Therefore, in Patent Document 3, this problem is solved by attaching an impact absorbing pad to the outside of the paper diaper.

  No matter how good the shock absorbing pad is, it will be bothersome for both the person and the caregiver. Therefore, for the purpose of further ease of wearing, a supporter type of Patent Document 4 and a wound skirt type of Patent Document 5 have been proposed as methods that can be worn from underwear or clothing.

  The challenge is to increase the wearing rate while properly attaching the shock absorbing pad to increase safety. The prior art devised to increase the mounting rate and the penetration rate, but safety and ease of mounting are not always compatible. For example, the wound skirt of Patent Document 5 is excellent in ease of wearing, but the adhesion of the shock absorbing pad is lost.

  In addition, the present situation is unavoidably an appliance to be worn, and it is not an appliance to be favorably worn by the wearer. The current wearer is accepting by the recommendation from the outside, not the intention of the person. Originally, it is desirable to maintain the habit of wearing with a sense of security before it becomes fragile, but there is a fact that it is difficult for elderly people to accept these devices or that they are still not needed. For this reason, the wearing method of the impact-absorbing pad selected by the will of the person is desired.

  Therefore, the present invention attaches a shock absorbing pad to clothing such as trousers or a skirt that can be worn by the wearer on a daily basis, A means for easily bringing the skin into close contact with an appropriate position is provided.

  The present invention is provided with a stretchable cloth having a pocket or a bag-like portion for storing a shock-absorbing pad, or having a bag-like portion for storing a shock-absorbing pad, in various trousers and skirts that can be preferably worn. This is the main feature. Here, the pocket means an accommodating part having an opening and an impact absorbing pad can be taken in and out, and the bag-like part means an impact pad accommodating part having no opening.

  In order to protect the proximal part of the femur, the shock absorbing pad must be attached so as to be as close as possible to the skin on the lumbar side.

  As a means to attach the shock absorbing pad, it is necessary to fit around the waist at the time of wearing, but if it has the property of stretching itself and fitting around the waist due to the material and shape of the trousers and skirt, This purpose is achieved by providing a pocket or bag-like portion for storing the shock absorbing pad.

  If the trousers and skirt have a spacious design and cannot be fitted alone around the waist, a stretchable cloth with a pad inside is provided, and the pad is kept in close contact with the elasticity of the cloth. Let

  The shape of the stretchable cloth that houses the pad can make the shock-absorbing pad tightly contact even if it is close to the underwear, but as a less uncomfortable method, in the vicinity of the chuck or button used when attaching or removing trousers or skirt The stretchable cloth containing the pad is opened, and the chuck or button is fastened at the time of mounting so that the shock absorbing pad can be brought into close contact.

  Furthermore, by making the belt-like shape without a crotch as the shape of the stretchable cloth that houses the pad, it is difficult to get stuffy, and the wearing feeling of the layered clothes can be reduced and made comfortable.

  According to the invention according to claim 1, a stretchable trouser or skirt that fits around a waist having a pocket or bag-like portion inside for accommodating a shock absorbing pad that relieves shock to the proximal part of the femur, or By using trousers or a skirt with a stretchable cloth having a bag-like portion for storing the shock absorbing pad attached to the inside, the shock absorbing pad can be brought into close contact with the body surface in the clothing state. Become. Thereby, a wearer can be in a shock-absorbing pad wearing state as it is by wearing his favorite clothes without newly wearing underwear or supporters dedicated to shock-absorbing pads.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, a cloth made of a stretchable material attached to the inside of a skirt or skirt having a bag-like portion for storing the shock absorbing pad is at least around a chuck or a button that opens and closes when clothes are attached and detached. It has an open band shape, and the shock absorbing pad is brought into close contact with each other by tightening a chuck or a button at the time of wearing. You are free from the hassle of attaching and detaching the absorbent pad.

  According to the invention according to claim 3, the cloth made of a stretchable material attached to the inside of the skirt or the skirt having a bag-like portion for storing the shock absorbing pad is not in an underwear shape but in a belt shape having a crotch portion. This makes it possible to be worn as a more natural garment by being freed from the feeling of bulk due to stuffiness and layering during wearing.

It is the front view (a) which shows the clothes (trousers) containing the shock-absorbing pad of this invention, and perspective drawing (b), (c), (d) corresponding to Embodiment 1, 2, and 3, respectively. FIG. 4 is a side view a) showing a shock-absorbing padded garment (trousers) of the present invention, and perspective views (b), (c), (d) corresponding to Embodiments 1, 2, and 3, respectively. FIG. 2 is a rear view a) showing a shock-absorbing padded garment (trousers) of the present invention, and perspective views (b), (c), (d) corresponding to Embodiments 1, 2, and 3, respectively. It is the front view (a) which shows the clothing (skirt) containing the shock-absorbing pad of this invention, and the perspective view (b) corresponding to Embodiment 3. It is a figure which shows the positional relationship of a femur proximal part and a shock absorption pad.

  Hereinafter, description will be given with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4A, the appearance of the trouser A with the shock absorbing pad of the present invention can take various garments such as arbitrary trousers and skirts.

  Taking trousers as an example, as shown in the perspective views (b) to (d) of FIG. Install by 3. In trousers with a space, a pocket or bag-like portion for accommodating the shock absorbing pad 2 is attached to a stretchable cloth, and the cloth is sewn inside the trouser 2.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, it is desirable that the shock absorbing pad is as close as possible to the waist side surface corresponding to the outer side of the proximal femur 5. This is a demand in order to effectively absorb a shock at the time of a fall with a shock absorbing pad having a small size and a little uncomfortable feeling. The shock absorbing pad is attached so that the vicinity of the center of the shock absorbing pad is the most protruding part of the proximal femur.

  As the first embodiment, a case will be described in which the trouser itself has a property of fitting the shock absorbing pad around the waist for reasons such as elasticity. In this case, pockets are provided on the inside of the pants, as shown in FIG. 1 (front view), FIG. 2 (side view), and FIG. 3 (rear view).

  As a second embodiment, a method of fitting a shock absorbing pad to a waist side portion with a stretchy underwear-like cloth in the case of trousers having a design with a space around the waist will be described. In this case, as shown in (c) of FIG. 1 (front view), FIG. 2 (side view), and FIG. 3 (rear view), a bag-like portion 3 containing an impact absorbing pad 2 inside the trouser 1 The cloth 4 having a shape similar to that of the underwear to which is attached is sewn. At this time, the front of the cloth is open, and when the trouser chuck is opened, the cloth around the chuck is also opened at the same time.

  As a third embodiment, a method of using a belt-like structure in which a cloth formed of stretchable fabric is not an underwear shape and does not have a crotch portion in the case of a trouser with a relaxed design around the waist. In this case, as shown in (d) of Fig. 1 (front view), Fig. 2 (side view), and Fig. 3 (rear view), the pocket 3 containing the shock absorbing pad 2 is attached to the inside of the trousers 1 The strip-shaped cloth 4 is sewn. At this time, the front of the cloth is open, and when the trouser chuck is opened, the cloth around the chuck is also opened at the same time, and the adhesion of the shock absorbing pad is exhibited by tightening the trouser chuck.

  Next, the case of clothing having a shape other than trousers such as a skirt will be described. The same applies to the skirt, and the shock absorbing pads corresponding to the first, second, and third embodiments of the trousers are attached according to the fit around the waist. FIG. 4 shows a case of a belt-like cloth having no crotch portion corresponding to the third embodiment of the trousers.

  Below, the component of the standing auxiliary seat surface which concerns on this invention is demonstrated in detail.

  The pants and skirt designated as 1 in each figure may be any shape or material (cotton, hemp, wool, synthetic fiber, leather, etc.).

  The shock absorbing pad 2 can be selected from various materials capable of absorbing shock that can reduce the risk of fracture of the proximal femur. Examples include isobutylene thermoplastic elastomers, styrene elastomers, polyurethane, air cushions, and the like. In order not to impair the comfort as clothing, it is preferable to select a material and a shape that are less likely to wear the shock absorbing pad in terms of lightness, breathability and thinness while maintaining the shock absorbing ability.

  The size of the shock absorbing pad 2 is about 8 to 12 cm in width and about 12 to 18 cm in length. Although the required thickness varies depending on the material used, it is preferable that the existing material has the thinnest thickness of about 6 mm for the material shown in Patent Document 1 and that polyurethane or air cushion has a thickness of about 2 cm. Various shapes such as a dome shape, a disk shape with a hole, a horseshoe shape, and a honeycomb shape can be used, but a thin material is used in order to make it inconspicuous inside the clothing that is the object of the present invention. It is desirable to use or to devise the curved surface of the outer shape so as not to create irregular irregularities on the body line.

  If the shock absorbing pad 2 is easy to contain water such as polyurethane, it should be stored in a pocket so that it can be removed when selected. Alternatively, a pocket is preferable when the shock absorbing pad is used in a plurality of clothes. For materials that can be washed together with clothing, the shock absorbing pad can be prevented from being displaced or lost by storing it in a bag-like part instead of a pocket. Whether the storage part of the impact pad is a pocket or a bag-like part has a degree of freedom as long as the adhesion of the pad is maintained.

  It is desirable that the pocket or bag-like portion and the cloth holding the pocket or the bag-like portion have air permeability while maintaining stretchability to ensure adhesion. Various materials can be used, but according to the study by the inventors, it was shown that the material containing cotton similar to underwear is less stuffy and comfortable.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, it should be understood that modifications, changes and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the claims.
