  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a protective mat 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention as viewed from one side, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view as viewed from the other side.

  The protective mat 10 includes, for example, a protective member 11, a body fixing member 12, and foot fixing members 13A and 13B.

  The protection member 11 has a protective sheet 11A that covers the waist portion from the buttocks, relaxes the pressure received from the outside by the buttocks or the waist portion, protects the buttocks or the waist portion, and damages the buttocks or the waist portion. Can be prevented. Furthermore, it is preferable that the protection member 11 has a flange contact sheet 11B provided at a portion that contacts the flange with respect to the protection sheet 11A. This is because the portion that comes into contact with the collar is particularly susceptible to pressure.

  The protection member 11 preferably has a curved portion 11C that protrudes in the crotch direction. The curved portion 11C is adapted to fit the crotch portion of the human body, and is deformed in accordance with the movement of the foot. Thereby, the adhesiveness with respect to the human body of the protection member 11 improves more, and operability can be improved more.

  The protective member 11 is preferably formed of a wetsuit fabric. It is because it has moderate elasticity and can protect the buttocks or lower back more effectively. In addition, because it is excellent in durability, it can be used over a long period of time, and also has excellent water resistance, so it can be used at the time of bathing. Because it can. Examples of the wet suit fabric include a material made of a skin material, and a material in which a jersey material is bonded to the surface of the skin material. Examples of the skin material include those containing chloroprene.

  The width W of the protection member 11 is preferably about the same as the width of the collar portion. If it is narrower than the width of the buttock, there will be a portion that cannot protect the buttock, and if it is wider than the width of the buttock, for example, it will be easier to sprinkle water when leaving the bath. The dimension of the width W of the protective mat 10 can be appropriately selected and designed, and is, for example, 280 mm or more and 340 mm or less.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the length L of the protection member 11 is a range that protects the buttocks and the lumbar spine. The dimension can be selected and designed as appropriate, and is, for example, 430 mm or more and 520 mm or less.

  In the protective sheet 11A, the surface on the non-contact side with the human body, for example, when the contact side with the human body is the inner side, the outer surface is preferably a jersey surface on which a jersey material is bonded. Moreover, it is preferable that the surface on the contact side with the human body in the buttocks contact sheet 11B is also a jersey surface. This is because these parts are particularly easy to wear and the durability can be increased by using a jersey surface having high wear resistance. Further, the surface of the protective sheet 11A on the contact side with the human body may be a jersey surface or a skin surface. This is because the cost can be reduced.

  The thickness T1 of the protective sheet 11A is preferably 5 mm or greater and 7 mm or less. This is because if the thickness is thick, the portability is lowered, and if the thickness is thin, the protective effect on the buttocks or the waist is lowered.

  Moreover, it is preferable that thickness T2 of the collar contact sheet 11B is 4 mm or more and 6 mm or less. This is because if the thickness is thick, the portability is lowered, and if the thickness is thin, the protection effect of the heel portion is lowered.

  Furthermore, the total of the thickness T1 of the protective sheet 11A and the thickness T2 of the flange contact sheet 11B is preferably 10 mm or more and less than 12 mm. This is because if the thickness is thick, the portability is lowered, and if the thickness is thin, the protection effect of the heel portion is lowered.

  The height H of the curved portion 11C may be in a range that is in contact with the crotch portion of the human body, and is preferably 50 mm or more and 100 mm or less, for example. This is because if it is too low, the range in which the foot can move is narrowed. Moreover, since there is a limit to the range in which the foot can be moved, there is a limit to the effect even if it is increased.

  The body fixing member 12 is a member that fixes the protection member 11 to the human body at the body portion. Examples of the shape of the body fixing member 12 include a string shape or a belt shape.

  As a fixing method by the body fixing member 12, for example, a string-like member may be turned and tied to the body, or a planar fastener or a buckle is attached to the end of the belt-like member, and this member is turned to the body. After that, the end portions may be pasted or joined together, and further, a means for adjusting the length may be provided for adjustment.

  Moreover, as a material of the trunk | drum fixing member 12, rubber | gum or nylon resin etc. are mentioned, for example, Among these, nylon resin is preferable. This is because, for example, nylon resin is less stretchable than rubber and can be firmly fixed to the human body. Moreover, since it is easy to dry even if it gets wet, durability or water resistance can be improved.

  It is preferable that the body fixing member 12 is detachable from the protection member 11 and can be attached to or detached from the protection member 11. This is because the position of the torso fixing member 12 can be freely changed, and the wearability to the human body can be further improved.

  Specifically, the protective member 11 and the body fixing member 12 can be attached and detached with a planar fastener, and the planar fastener 14 attached to the protective member 11 is made more than the planar fastener attached to the body fixing member 12. The attachment / detachment position can be changed by providing it over a wide range. In addition, it is preferable that the planar fastener 14 attached to the protection member 11 is a female surface. This is because, if it is a male surface, for example, it will come into contact with the cloth of the clothes and damage it.

  The foot fixing members 13A and 13B are members that fix the protection member 11 to the human body at the foot portion. Examples of the shape, the fixing method, and the material of the foot fixing members 13A and 13B include those similar to the body fixing member 12. The foot fixing members 13A and 13B and the protection member 11 may be detachable similarly to the body fixing member 12, but are preferably attached by sewing or the like. This is because the leg portion needs to be firmly fixed because of its large movement.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a state where the protective mat 10 is mounted on a human body as viewed from one side, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view as viewed from the other side.

  The protective mat 10 is attached to the human body as follows, for example. First, the buttock of the human body is aligned with the protection member 11. At that time, the crotch portion of the human body is aligned with the curved portion 11C. Next, the body fixing member 12 is wound around and fixed to the body portion, and the foot fixing members 13A and 13B are wound around the left and right crotch portions and fixed. At that time, the body fixing member 12 is attached to and detached from the protection member 11, and the attachment / detachment position is appropriately changed with respect to the protection member 11 so that the body fixing member 12 is easily fixed. Thereby, the protective mat 10 can be mounted on the human body. Since the bending portion 11C can be deformed in accordance with the movement of the foot, the adhesion of the protection member 11 to the human body is further improved, and the operability can be further improved.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of a state when the protective mat 10 is carried. Specifically, after the protective mat 10 from which the body fixing member 12 has been removed is rounded from the crotch direction, the body fixing member 12 that has been removed is wound around and fixed to the rounded protective mat 10. Thereby, portability is improved.
