BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lumbago band which is fixed to the lumbar region for the treatment and prevention of lumbago.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are various methods for treating and preventing low back pain, one of which is a method of tightening and fixing the lower back part with a lower back pain band. This back pain band is made of a combination of stretchable material and non-stretchable material and made into a band shape.In order to improve the fit and obtain a secure fixing force, stays may be inserted at appropriate places or the material and sewing method may be changed. There is. In order to perfectly fit this back pain band to the curved surface of the lower back of the human body, it is necessary to process the stay according to the line of the body, to combine materials that suit each human body, and to select a sewing method. Accurate measurement and processing of body lines requires specialized experts, which requires a long time for production and increases the product cost, and the fitting and fixing functions must be satisfied. I can't get kimono. In order to solve this point, a thermoplastic resin plate that is softened by heating to be moldable and hardens when cooled to room temperature and has sufficient strength is mounted on the winding base material, and the thermoplastic resin plate is heated. After softening it, apply it to the waist by tightening it with the wrapping base material, press the thermoplastic resin plate over the whole body by hand, deform it according to the line of the body, and cool it. The present applicant has proposed a back pain band that is cured by curing (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-145523). Since this back pain band is for modeling a thermoplastic resin plate with the body directly shaped, it is possible to obtain a fixing band that fits accurately and can be fixed securely in an extremely short time. Since it has a function, it requires strength and, therefore, must have a certain thickness, which is bulky and considerably heavy. Furthermore, the thermoplastic resin plate itself has no breathability at all, and even if a large number of small holes for ventilation are provided in the resin plate, it will get damp when worn for a long time,
It is inevitable that discomfort will occur.

Next, specific examples of each part of the lumbago of the present invention will be described. As a flexible base cloth that constitutes the fixed plate,
A tape formed by warp knitting with a fiber having relatively high rigidity such as glass fiber, polyester fiber, aramid fiber, polypropylene fiber can be used. Among these, a base fabric having a three-layer structure of double-sided knitting using polyester fibers is advantageous in terms of modeling property, strength, air permeability and operability. A particularly advantageous base fabric is a tape knitted with a double-sided knitted three-layer structure using polyester processed yarns on the front and back faces and a thick polyester yarn having high rigidity in the central portion. The size of the base cloth is, for example, 15 to 50 cm in width and 30 to 80 cm in length, but can be arbitrarily selected depending on the site to be used, the wearer's physique, and the like.

The water-curable resin with which the base cloth is impregnated is a resin which is cured by contact with moisture, and examples thereof include polyurethane prepolymers (obtained by the reaction of polyols and excess polyisocyanates). The specific details are as follows: Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-48184, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-61.

A lot of them are described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-71746.

As a material for the adjustable belt, a tape woven with cotton yarn, nylon yarn, tetron yarn, vinyl chloride yarn, or the like, a tape in which elastomer yarn is mixed woven with the above material, or a plain woven fabric alone is used. The width is 3 to 10 cm, preferably 5 to 7.5 cm, and the thickness is 1 to 3 mm. It is desirable that the adjustable belt has such characteristics that it does not stretch or curl and has a limited expansion / contraction range.

The abdominal band is preferably made of a material which has a strength enough to press the lower abdomen, does not cause fatigue even when used for a long time, and has a high sweat absorbing property. For example, non-woven fabric, felt, plastic mesh, and foam such as urethane, vinyl chloride, neprene, and butadiene are used as the core material, and a highly water-absorbent material or tissue such as cotton and rayon is densely packed on the skin side by a capillary action. A material having high water absorption can be used, and a nylon pile capable of connecting the left and right abdominal bands with a surface fastener can be used on the outside. The width is 9 to 20 cm and the length is 18 to 30 so that the lower abdomen can be pressed.
It is preferable that the shape has a rectangular shape of cm, and the lower part has a notch for avoiding the iliac bone and the upper part has a notch for avoiding compression of the gastrointestinal part.
