[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to shorts suitable for use in combination with absorbent pads such as urine absorbent pads and sanitary napkins.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Absorbent pads such as urine absorbing pads and sanitary napkins are commercially available with hook-and-loop fasteners attached to the back that have male members (hooks) that are secured to the shorts so that they do not move during wear. ing. On the other hand, a hook-and-loop fastener having a female member (loop) for fixing these absorbent pads is attached to the inner surface of the shorts in which such an absorbent pad is used together. The absorbent pad is fixed to the shorts and worn by engaging the male member (hook) of the absorbent pad with the female member (loop) on the inner surface side of the shorts.
[0003]
The hook-and-loop fastener for fixing the absorbent pad is usually attached at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the back surface of the absorbent pad (the surface facing the shorts), that is, at the front and rear when the absorbent pad is worn. It is.
When wearing such an absorbent pad, the wearer must (1) insert and place the absorbent pad in the crotch region of the shorts and then wear the shorts, or (2) the waist opening of the shorts. After inserting the left and right legs into the leg opening through the leg, pull up the shorts to the knee position, then insert and place the absorbent pad in the crotch crotch, and pull up the shorts to the wearing position. ing.
This procedure is the same even when a caregiver wears shorts for a wearer who cannot take a short with his / her hand like an infant or an elderly person and needs care.
[0004]
However, when the absorbent pad is inserted and placed in the crotch part of the shorts in such a procedure, the male member of the surface fastener of the absorbent pad is related to the appropriate position of the female member of the surface fastener attached to the shorts. There is a problem in that the absorbent pad is not positioned at an appropriate position because leakage does not occur because the two do not match or is engaged and fixed at a position where there is no surface fastener on the inner surface of the shorts.
In addition, while the shorts are stretchable in the vertical direction, the absorbent pad does not have stretchability, so when the shorts are stretched and pulled up, the stretched absorbent pad and shorts are stretched. There is a problem that the absorbent pad is displaced due to a mismatch, or the pants stretch is obstructed by the absorbent pad, and a sense of incongruity remains after wearing.
Furthermore, when the pants are extended, the fastener may come off and the male member of the pad may damage the fabric of the shorts.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to obtain shorts in which the absorbent pad can be used in an appropriate position without misalignment or discomfort.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of diligent research on the above problems, the present inventors have found that the above problems can be solved by forming a smooth region where the male member of the absorbent pad is not engaged on the inner surface of the shorts, resulting in the present invention. It was.
In other words, if a smooth area where the male member of the absorbent pad is not engaged is formed on the inner surface of the shorts, the absorbent pad is not fixed to the shorts in that area, so when the absorbent pad is inserted and placed in the crotch area In addition, there is no problem that the absorbent pad is engaged and fixed at an inappropriate place, and even when wearing shorts, the non-stretchable absorbent pad can freely stretch without being hindered from stretching. As a result, the present invention has been made as a result of finding out that there is no misalignment or uncomfortable feeling after mounting.
[0007]
The present invention is characterized in that, in an elastic short that is worn in combination with an absorbent pad, a smooth region in which the male member of the liquid absorbent pad is not engaged is formed on the front and / or rear inner surface of the short. It is about shorts.
[0008]
The smooth region where the male member of the absorbent pad is not engaged is preferably formed adjacent to the upper portion of the hook-and-loop fastener having the female members attached to the front and back of the shorts in order to fix the absorbent pad.
A hook-and-loop fastener that is attached to the front and rear of the inner surface of the shorts in order to fix the absorbent pad is disposed at a position suitable for fixing the absorbent pad in a state where the shorts are stretched when worn. It is preferable to form a smooth region above the position.
[0009]
If a smooth region is formed in this way, for example, the absorbent pad is inserted and placed in the crotch region, and the front end position of the male member and the female member in front of the shorts are engaged to bring the absorbent pad forward. Even if the shorts before wearing are not stretched, the male member at the rear end position of the absorbent pad faces the smooth area and is not fixed to the shorts. Therefore, the front and back of the absorbent pad are not fixed at an inappropriate position. Moreover, when the shorts on which the absorbent pad with the front end position only fixed is placed and the shorts are pulled up as described above, the rear end of the absorbent pad is a smooth area at the rear during the pulling up. The smooth area can be slid freely according to the elongation of the shorts. The male member at the rear end position of the absorbent pad is opposed to the rear female member on the inner side of the shorts, and the rear end of the absorbent pad is also fixed at the rear position of the shorts for the first time at the wearing position after the wearing is completed. Become. Therefore, according to the present invention, since the shorts can be freely stretched without being obstructed by the non-stretchable absorbent pad, it is easy to wear, the absorbent pad does not shift, and it feels uncomfortable even after wearing. There is an effect that no occurs.
[0010]
Furthermore, the hook-and-loop fastener for fixing the absorbent pad on the inner side of the shorts can be disposed only in front of or behind the shorts. At that time, the smooth region is formed only on the side opposite to the side where the hook-and-loop fastener is disposed, that is, the rear side or the front side.
Also in this case, similarly, it is easy to wear, there is no shift of the absorbent pad, and there is an effect that there is no sense of incongruity even after wearing.
[0011]
The smooth region can be formed by attaching a member having a smooth surface to the inner surface of the shorts, or by making the material of the diaper itself in the region a smooth material.

In the present invention, shorts refers to incontinence pants, sanitary shorts, and the like for use in combination with absorbent pads such as urine absorption pads and sanitary napkins.
The material of the shorts only needs to be a stretchable material, and all materials that are normally used for shorts can be used. For example, cotton, nylon, polyurethane, polynosic, etc. are used alone or mixed, and deodorant fibers are used. Sometimes used.
The stretchability is about 0.1 to 3 N / 25 mm, preferably about 0.2 to 1 N / 25 mm, at 130% elongation. Here, when 130% is extended, for example, a 100 mm sheet is extended to 130 mm.
The shape of the shorts may be any of incontinence pants and sanitary shorts, for example, a shorts type, a pants type, a short boxer type, and the like. The shorts usually have a front body, a crotch region, and a back body. For example, a type of one piece in which the front body and the back body are integrated, a type in which the front body and the back body are two-piece, and both sides are sewn. And three-pieces of a front body, a back body, and a crotch, and may be formed of four pieces or more.
[0016]
A hook-and-loop fastener having a female member for fixing an absorbent pad such as a urine absorbing pad or a sanitary napkin is provided in front of and / or behind the inner surface of the shorts. A hook-and-loop fastener having a male member for fixing the absorbent pad to the shorts by engaging with a hook-and-loop fastener having a female member on the inner surface of the shorts is attached to the absorbent pad used in combination with the shorts.
[0017]
When arrange | positioning a hook_and_loop | surface fastener in the front and back of shorts inner surface side, they arrange | position with the space | interval which opposes the male member of the front end and rear end of an absorptive pad in the state which extended shorts.
The hook-and-loop fastener on the inner side of the shorts may be provided only on either the front side or the rear side of the shorts.
The surface fastener is usually a rectangle having a width of 1 to 15 cm and a length (height) of 1 to 5 cm, but is not limited to a rectangle, and may be a circle or an ellipse. The hook-and-loop fastener is not limited to one and may be divided into two. The size can be appropriately selected according to the size of the absorbent pad to be used in combination. For adult shorts, a width of about 8 to 10 cm and a height of about 2 to 3 cm are desirable.
[0018]
The smooth area where the male member of the absorbent pad is not engaged can be formed in front of the shorts, or behind, or both in front and behind.
Whether the smooth area is formed forward or backward, or both forward and backward, is appropriately determined by a person skilled in the art in relation to the arrangement of the surface fastener for fixing the absorbent pad provided on the inner surface of the shorts. can do.
[0019]
For example, when a hook-and-loop fastener for fixing an absorbent pad is disposed both on the front and rear of the inner surface of the shorts, the smooth region can be formed only on the front of the shorts, only on the rear, or both on the front and rear. . At this time, the smooth region is preferably formed adjacent to the surface fastener on the inner surface of the shorts.
[0020]
In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, surface fasteners (2, 2 ′) for fixing the absorbent pad are disposed both in front and rear of the inner surface of the shorts, and adjacent to the surface fastener (2) only in front of the inner surface of the shorts. The shorts which formed the smooth area | region (3) were illustrated. At this time, if the absorbent pad is placed on the shorts crotch and only the rear end is fixed and the shorts are pulled up, the front end of the absorbent pad faces the smooth area in front of the shorts while the shorts are pulled up. And you can slide freely.
[0021]
Further, in FIGS. 3 and 4, surface fasteners (2, 2 ′) for fixing the absorbent pad are arranged on both the front and rear of the inner surface of the shorts, and the surface fastener (2 ′) is disposed only on the rear of the inner surface of the shorts. The shorts which formed the smooth area | region (3 ') adjacent to were illustrated.
At this time, if the absorbent pad is placed on the crotch of the shorts and only the front end is fixed, and the shorts are pulled up, the rear end of the absorbent pad follows the smooth area behind the shorts while the shorts are pulled up. And can slide freely.
[0022]
Further, in FIG. 5, hook and loop fasteners (2, 2 ′) for fixing the absorbent pad are arranged on both the front and rear of the shorts inner surface, and the hook and loop fasteners (2, 2) are arranged on both the front and rear of the shorts inner surface. The shorts which formed the smooth area | region (3, 3 ') adjacent to') were illustrated. At this time, if the absorbent pad placed on the crotch part is fixed by selecting either the front end or the rear end according to the wearer's preference, and pulling up the shorts, the other end that is not fixed is in the smooth region. You can slide freely along.
[0023]
Further, when the hook-and-loop fastener for fixing the absorbent pad is disposed only in front of the inner surface of the shorts, a smooth region is formed only in the rear of the shorts, and when the hook-and-loop fastener for fixing the absorbent pad is disposed only in the rear of the inner surface of the shorts. A smooth region can be formed only in front of the shorts.
FIG. 6 shows the former example, and FIG. 7 shows the latter example.
[0024]
As shown in FIG. 6, when the hook-and-loop fastener on the inner surface of the shorts is disposed only at the front and only the front end of the absorbent pad is fixed to the shorts, the smooth region formed behind the shorts is pulled to wear the shorts. During raising, the free rear end of the absorbent pad must be provided in the area where it moves in contact. By doing so, if the front end of the absorbent pad placed on the crotch is fixed to the shorts and the shorts are pulled up, the rear end of the absorbent pad is placed in a smooth area behind the shorts while pulling up. You can face each other.
In the example of FIG. 7, the same applies except that the front and rear are reversed.
[0025]
The size of the smooth region is about 1 to 15 cm wide and about 3 to 15 cm high. For adult shorts, it is preferably about 8 to 10 cm wide and about 5 to 10 cm high, and the width is at least shorts. It is necessary to make it larger than the width of the hook-and-loop fastener attached to the absorbent pad used together.
For example, in the case of an adult short with a crotch of 40 to 70 cm, the smooth region desirably exists from the crotch fold line to a height of 15 to 20 cm.
Examples of the material forming the smooth region include a woven fabric made of nylon or the like, and a woven fabric laminated with a polyurethane or polyethylene film.
When it is a woven fabric, the fineness is preferably 40 to 80 dtex, and the basis weight is preferably 200 to 350 / inch, and in particular, a nylon smooth woven fabric having a fineness of 50 to 60 dtex and a basis weight of 250 to 300 / inch is preferable.
[0026]
The peeling force in the smooth region is preferably 650 mN / 45 mm or less. Here, the peel force is measured by the following procedure using a tensile tester (Shimadzu Autograph).
1) A dough sample having a length of 45 mm and a width of 60 mm is cut with scissors.
2) Cut the hook-and-loop fastener portion with scissors 45 mm long x 13 mm wide.
3) Attach the hook-and-loop fastener from 2) to the fabric sample from 1).
4) After pressurizing with a roller, grip and pull both ends of the dough, and measure the stress when peeling to make the peel force. The measurement conditions of peeling force are as follows.
Pressurization condition: 2 kg roller reciprocation (roller speed: 300 mm / min)
Peeling direction: Grasping the gripping area of the fabric and peeling peeling measurement condition Peeling direction: 180 degree Tensile speed: 300 mm / min
Atmosphere: 20 ° C 65RH
[0027]
The absorbent pad used in the shorts may be a urine absorbing pad, a sanitary napkin, or the like. The urine absorption pad can be classified according to size, shape, etc. for infants or elderly people. Any sanitary napkin can be used regardless of size and shape.
The absorbent pad is composed of a top sheet positioned on the skin contact surface, a back sheet contacting the shorts inner surface, and a liquid absorbent core interposed between the two sheets, and is non-stretchable at least in the longitudinal direction.
The hook-and-loop fastener attached to the absorbent pad has a hook, and the mounting position of the hook-and-loop fastener is usually at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent pad.
The hook-and-loop fastener may be attached only to one front or rear end in the longitudinal direction.
Usually, the size of the hook-and-loop fastener is 1 to 15 mm in length (width) and about 1 to 5 mm in width, but the size varies depending on the size of the absorbent pad.

[Action]
According to the present invention, a short fastener of a type in which a hook-and-loop fastener for fixing an absorbent pad is arranged on both the front and rear of the inner surface of the shorts, and a smooth region where the male member of the absorbent pad is not engaged is formed on the rear of the shorts. An example will be described with reference to FIG. 8 (shorts of the type shown in FIGS. 3 and 4).
For example, an absorbent pad having male members (4, 4 ') for fixing shorts at both the front end and the rear end of the absorbent pad is inserted into the shorts (1) crotch. The absorbent pad is fixed in front of the shorts by engaging the male member (4) at the front end position of the absorbent pad with the hook-and-loop fastener (2) in front of the shorts. In a state where the shorts before wearing are not stretched, the male member (4 ′) at the rear end position of the absorbent pad faces the smooth region (3 ′) and is not fixed to the shorts (FIG. 8A). When the shorts with only the front end position of the absorbent pad fixed in this manner are pulled and the shorts are pulled up, the rear end of the absorbent pad faces the smooth area (3 ') at the rear while pulling up. It is not fixed because it is. Therefore, during this time, the shorts can freely stretch without being obstructed by the non-stretchable absorbent pad. On the other hand, the rear end of the absorbent pad can be freely slid along a smooth region according to the elongation of the shorts (FIG. 8B). The male member (4 ′) at the rear end position of the absorbent pad is opposed to the rear surface fastener (2 ′) on the inner side of the shorts, and the rear end of the absorbent pad is also behind the shorts only after the mounting is completed. It will be fixed in position (FIG. 8C). Therefore, according to the present invention, since the shorts can be freely stretched without being obstructed by the non-stretchable absorbent pad, it is easy to wear, the absorbent pad does not shift, and it feels uncomfortable even after wearing. There is an effect that no occurs.
Such an action is the same in the shorts of another embodiment of the present invention.
[0029]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, it was possible to obtain shorts that can be used in combination with the absorbent pad without any deviation and uncomfortable feeling.
