  The best mode for carrying out the apron according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Embodiment

First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a front view showing the configuration of the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a top view of the same.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the apron according to the present embodiment includes an apron main body 1 having a substantially trapezoidal shape, a lower pocket 2 provided at a lower end of the surface of the apron main body 1 over substantially the entire width thereof, and an opening of the lower pocket. A holding member 3 for holding the state, and a drainage channel 4 which is openable and closable so as to communicate below the lower pocket 2 are provided. The apron main body 1, the lower pocket 2, and the drainage channel 4 are formed of a flexible waterproof sheet. As a material constituting the flexible waterproof sheet, a synthetic resin sheet material such as vinyl chloride or a known material obtained by subjecting a cloth constituting a backing cloth to a surface treatment such as waterproof coating or laminating is used.

  In the upper part of the apron main body 1, a circular cutout 5 and a cutout 6 for connecting the circular cutout to the outside are formed in order to attach the apron to the neck. Are separated. At the upper end portions 7 of the apron, hook-and-loop fasteners 8 are provided on the front and back, respectively, for overlapping and fastening them. The means for fastening the apron upper ends 7, 7 is not limited to the hook-and-loop fastener, but may be a string or the like.

  The lower pocket 2 provided on the front surface side of the lower end of the apron main body 1 is configured such that a pocket cover 10 made of a flexible waterproof sheet having a predetermined height is superimposed on the front side of the apron main body 1, and the side on which the superimposition is performed. It is formed by bonding along the edges 12, 12 and the lower edge 13 in a waterproof manner by adhesion, fusion or the like. The shape of the upper edge of the pocket cover 10 is not limited to the straight shape shown in FIG. 1, and it is also desirable to form a curved shape in which both ends are slightly raised upward to more reliably receive water and the like at both ends. It is. Further, in one embodiment, the upper edge of the pocket cover 10 is formed in a “W” shape or the like for an aesthetic effect.

A drain 4 is provided below the lower pocket 2 so as to communicate with the inside. The drainage channel 4 is formed by extending a predetermined length of two waterproof sheets forming the lower pocket 2, that is, the lower end central portion of the apron main body 1 and the pocket cover 10. Therefore, the portion of the apron main body 1 and the pocket cover 10 connected to the drainage channel 4 are not joined. The width of the drainage channel 4 is preferably about 1/2 to 1/6 of the width of the lower pocket 2, and more preferably about 1/4.
Further, the drainage channel 4 can be folded upward with its base end 9 as a fulcrum, and by snapping the snap 11 provided on the pocket cover 10 and the snap 11 provided on the surface of the drainage channel 4 in the folded state. Can be held. When the drainage channel 4 is turned up, the water and the like contained in the lower pocket 2 are completely sealed. Note that, instead of the snap 11, known fixing means such as a button and a hook-and-loop fastener can be used.
Further, the sealing means of the drainage channel 4 is not limited to the above-mentioned folding method, and a string (not shown) may be provided on the outer surface of the drainage channel 4 and the drainage channel may be sealed from the outside by the string. However, it is not preferable to provide a sealing means in the drainage channel, because the sealing means may hinder drainage in the drainage channel. When draining the water contained in the lower pocket 2, the drainage channel 4 is opened as shown by the solid line in FIG. At this time, cleaning can be performed by supplying water from above the lower pocket 2.

Further, the lower pocket 2 is provided with a holding material 3 for holding an opening of the lower pocket 2 from above. The holding member 3 is not particularly limited as long as it can hold the opening at the upper edge of the lower pocket 2. The holding material 3 shown by a broken line in FIG. 1 and a solid line in FIG. 2 is formed of a waterproof material having a certain shape-retaining force, and is sewn into the lower pocket 2 at the stage of sewing, or is detached. Mounted freely. Since the apron main body 1 and the pocket cover 10 that form the lower pocket 2 are flexible sheets, the holding member 3 may have a certain degree of rigidity and itself have a shape-retaining force. desirable. It is also desirable that the weight be low.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the holding member 3 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The holding member 3 is formed by bending a flexible plate-like material made of a waterproof material at a plurality of locations in the longitudinal direction. There is a structure in which the bending angle of the bending portion 14 can be freely changed. By changing the bending angle, the entire length and width of the holding member 3 can be freely changed.
In the case where the holding member 3 is detachably mounted in the lower pocket 2, the opening state of the lower pocket can be more reliably held by attaching the holding member 3 in the use state of the apron. By removing the holding member 3 in discharging or washing water from the lower pocket, it is possible to easily and reliably discharge the water or liquids contained in the lower pocket 2 or wash the area around the lower pocket 2. can do. Furthermore, since the holding material can be removed even when the apron is stored, the apron can be stored compactly.

FIG. 4 is a front view showing the configuration of the second embodiment, and the same reference numerals as those shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 indicate the same members.
In the apron according to the second embodiment, an upper pocket 18 is formed over substantially the entire width of the apron main body 1 above the surface of the apron main body 1, and an openable / closable drainage channel 19 is provided below the upper pocket 18 so as to communicate therewith. The upper pocket is provided with a holding member 23 for holding an open state, and the upper pocket 18 and the drainage channel 19 are formed of a flexible waterproof sheet.
The upper pocket 18 overlaps the pocket cover 10 made of a flexible waterproof sheet having a predetermined height on the surface side of the apron main body 1, and along the overlapped side edges 12, 12 and the lower edge 13. It is formed by bonding in a waterproof manner by adhesion, fusion or the like.
A drainage channel 19 is provided below the upper pocket 18 so as to communicate the inside. The drainage channel 19 is formed by extending a predetermined length of two waterproof sheets forming the upper pocket 18, that is, the central portions of the lower ends of the apron body 1 and the pocket cover 10. Therefore, the portion of the apron main body 1 and the pocket cover 10 connected to the drainage channel 19 are not joined. The drainage channel 19 can be folded upward with its base end as a fulcrum, as shown by the dashed line, and the snap 11 provided on the pocket cover 10 and the snap 11 provided on the surface of the drainage channel 19 are fitted in the folded state. It can be held by doing. When the drainage channel 19 is turned upward, liquids such as food spills and the like stored in the upper pocket 18 are completely sealed. When washing away liquids such as food spills stored in the upper pocket 18, water is supplied from above the upper pocket 18 with the drainage channel 19 opened as shown by the solid line in FIG. Can be washed.
Although the holding material 23 of the upper pocket 18 shown in FIG. 4 has the same function as the holding material 3 of the lower pocket 2, the structure is different from that of the holding material 3 of the lower pocket 2 and is constant. A rigid rod-like member having the above-mentioned rigidity is fixedly attached by sewing, bonding, or the like so that the apron main body 1 and the pocket cover 10 maintain an appropriate space at the center of the upper portion of the pocket as shown in FIG. Or, it is detachably attached with a hook-and-loop fastener or the like.
Further, the holding member 3 formed in a bent shape as shown in FIG. 3 can be fixedly attached by sewing or further detachably attached to the upper pocket 18.
In the apron according to the second embodiment, since the upper pocket 18 is formed in a portion near the mouth, when used for eating, it is possible to reliably store the spills in the upper pocket 18.

In addition, the drainage channel 21 can be folded upward and fixed to the pocket cover 10 by the snap 11 as shown by the dashed line in the figure. Although the holding member 22 has a structure similar to that of the holding member 3 shown in FIG. 3, it is obvious that the holding member 23 shown in FIG. 5 may be used.

  FIG. 8 shows a state in which the apron shown in FIG. 7 is viewed from the back, and a plurality of anti-slip members 15 are provided below the back of the apron main body 1. As the non-slip member 15, a material having a large friction coefficient such as rubber is desirable. When eating while wearing the apron, the apron can be kept extended on the upper surface of the table etc., so even if liquids etc. are scattered due to spills, it can be received over a wide area of the entire apron It becomes possible. Therefore, it is preferable that the planar position where the anti-slip member 15 is provided be around the lower part of the apron main body 1.

  FIG. 9 shows that the apron body is divided into two parts at substantially the middle of the apron body part, and appropriate means such as a snap 11 or a hook-and-loop fastener (not shown) are provided at the lower end of the upper apron body 16 and the upper end of the lower apron body 17. It shows a possible formed type.

The upper and lower split type apron is basically the upper and lower splits of the apron of the first to fourth embodiments. FIG. 9 shows a state where the one having the upper pocket 18 and the lower pocket 2 of the third embodiment of FIG. 6 is divided. In the case of the apron according to the fourth embodiment, in which the intermediate portion pocket 20 is formed substantially in the middle of the surface of the apron main body 1, the upper portion is divided above the intermediate portion pocket 20.
