Description

  The present invention relates to pants as underwear such as shorts and briefs, and more particularly, to pants that are easy for elderly / non-healthy people who are handicapped to wear and take off.

  For non-healthy people who become physically disabled due to illness and elderly people who have difficulty moving their limbs, whether or not they can excrete and bathe by taking off their own underwear is important. For example, if you have a disability due to a stroke and your limbs become inconvenient and you need rehabilitation therapy, you will not be able to take off your underwear for a long time. In many cases, people lose their willingness to overcome illness because they become used to relying on them.

  On the other hand, if you can put on and take off your own underwear and perform excretion yourself, you will have confidence in yourself and you will be motivated to overcome the disease and will be able to actively work on rehabilitation. . In view of this, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-265307 has proposed a non-healthy garment in which a ring-shaped finger hook portion that is large enough to put a finger at a predetermined position on the upper side of the pants protrudes in the outer peripheral direction.

  With this finger hook part, even if the finger is inconvenient to some extent, it will be possible to move the pants up and down while inserting and hooking while keeping the finger bent, so it is easy to put on and take off by yourself Become. However, because this pant has a structure in which the ring-shaped finger hook part protrudes greatly from the upper end part, there is a possibility that it may be accidentally caught by a saddle-like object or protrusion around you, leading to an accident such as a fall. , There are difficulties in safety.

  Also, even if you can take it off and on like a healthy person, the finger hook part has a ring-like appearance, so it is not easy to design and it is immediately for non-healthy people Since it will be understood by others, it will be a factor to avoid places where underwear is seen as a bottleneck, and it is easy to lead to narrowing the range of activities in life.

  On the other hand, instead of making the finger-hanging part into a ring shape, it is also conceivable to make a horizontal or vertical slit (cut). However, if the slit is simply provided, even if it is initially closed, the mating portion of the slit constituent member will loosen and become an open window at all times, so that the skin of the abdomen is exposed at that portion and it looks very nice. It will be a bad situation.

JP 2000-265307 A

  The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and for pants used by elderly / non-healthy people who are handicapped, ensure safety and ease of wearing without sacrificing appearance. The challenge is to make it possible.

Therefore, the present invention provides a pant as an undergarment having a finger hook portion for inserting and hooking a finger on the upper end side, and the finger hook portion has a length that allows at least a finger to be inserted and hooked. And at least a pair of pants front and left and right sides as having a slit formed in the horizontal direction at the depth, and the lower slit component member lower end side is in a predetermined range on the lower slit component upper end side. The upper and lower slit constituent members are covered from the outside and overlap with each other at least at the positions where they overlap with each other at the positions where they overlap each other, and the shape maintaining ability is enhanced compared to the other parts. Move the finger upward from below the slit so that the pant surface is traced with the fingertip bent upward, the fingertip is inserted into the slit as it is, and the hooking operation of the finger is completed. In the mounted state not inserted, to maintain the state in which the slit is closed by overlapping of the slit component was assumed, characterized in that.

In this way, the finger-hanging part for inserting and hooking the finger on the upper end side of the pants is a sideways slit, and the upper slit component member covers the lower slit component member to form an overlapping portion. This means that even a user with low vision can move the pants surface with his / her finger, and the finger position can be recognized by tactile sensation due to the level difference of the overlapping part.・ The hooking operation is extremely easy, and normally the slit is kept closed, so that it can be prevented from being caught by surrounding objects, and the skin can be exposed by opening at that part. As a result, the appearance at the time of wearing is hardly damaged. In addition to this, the upper and lower slit components have strip-shaped reinforcing materials at positions where they overlap each other in the thickness direction, minimizing irreversible elongation deformation even in areas where fingers are frequently pulled and pulled. The deterioration of the appearance can be reduced to the limit, and the lower side of the slit is loosened so that it is difficult to insert a finger and the appearance is not easily damaged.

  According to the present invention in which the upper slit constituent member covers and overlaps the lower slit constituent member in the finger hook portion, it is possible to realize the ease of putting on and taking off without impairing safety and appearance.

  Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the present invention, the slit includes not only one formed by cutting a single member, but also a slit formed as a result of combining a plurality of members into a cut portion. One formed by overlapping the end sides of two members is also included.

  FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a pant 1 according to the present embodiment. The pants 1 are shorts for women's underwear, but are intended for use by elderly people who have difficulty moving their limbs and non-healthy people who have become somewhat inconvenient due to illness. Even when the finger has little force and the range of movement is limited, it can be removed and attached.

  The pants 1 according to the present embodiment assuming such an elderly person / unhealthy person has a belt portion 6 with a flat rubber inserted at the upper end, and a finger hook for inserting and hooking a finger immediately below the belt portion 6. The parts 21 and 22 are provided at symmetrical positions on the front surface 2 of the pants. The finger hooks 21 and 22 have slits 210 and 220 that are formed in a lateral direction while penetrating from the outer surface of the pants to the inner surface with a length that allows insertion of two to three fingers.

  In addition, when the finger is not inserted as shown in the figure, the finger hook portions 21 and 22 are located on the upper end side of the lower slit constituent members 21b and 22b and the lower ends of the upper slit constituent members 21a and 22a are outside. The overlapping portion is formed by covering the slits, and the slit 210 is maintained in a closed state, which is a characteristic portion of the present invention.

  That is, even in the conventional pants for the elderly and non-healthy people described above, the ring-shaped finger hook portion is provided on the upper end side, and the finger can be inserted and hooked on the upper end side so that it can be detached and attached relatively easily. However, since the ring-shaped finger hook portion always protrudes in the outer peripheral direction from the upper end side of the pants, it has a drawback that it is easily caught on surrounding objects and is unsightly. On the other hand, if a slit is simply provided on the upper side of the pants, the slit is loosened and becomes an opening window, which is similarly unsatisfactory.

  Therefore, in the present invention, the slits 210 and 220 are configured in a normal state such as when a finger is not inserted, in addition to adopting a slit method that does not protrude in the outer peripheral direction in the finger hook portions 21 and 22. As a configuration in which the upper and lower members are overlapped and closed, the appearance is not impaired by avoiding the skin being exposed at the portion.

  Further, by maintaining the state in which the slits 210 and 220 are closed in the state in which the pants 1 are worn, it is rarely inadvertently caught on things around us, and the finger catches 21 and 22 themselves are almost conspicuous. Since it does not look like pants for non-healthy people, it is easy for the user to go out without worrying about places where other people can see underwear.

  Next, the configuration and function of the finger hook portions 21 and 22 in the pants 1 according to the present embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a partial vertical cross-sectional view simply showing the structure of the left finger hook portion 21 on the front surface 2 of the pants. As shown in FIG. 2A, the slit 210 has an upper slit component 21a. And the lower slit constituting member 21b.

  In addition, as described above, the finger hook portion 21 is configured such that the lower end side of the upper slit component member 21a covers the predetermined range of the upper end side of the lower slit component member 21b to form an overlapping portion. The slit 210 does not form an opening window at least in a mounted state, and has a function of maintaining a state in which the skin of the abdomen 100 is not exposed at that portion. In addition, since the step is formed in the overlapping portion where the upper member covers the lower member in this way, for example, for a user who has decreased visual acuity, by touching this portion, before and after the pants 1 It is possible to easily determine the front and back, and when wearing this, the position of the finger hook portion 21 is recognized and the fingertip is inserted into the slit 210 as it is simply by tracing the finger from the lower side on the surface of the pants. The

  On the other hand, FIG. 2B shows a state in which a finger (index finger or the like) 110 is inserted from the outside into the slit 210 in order to put on the pants 1. In this case, the tip side of the finger 110 bent in a bowl shape is inserted obliquely from below with respect to the slit 210, and the fingertip is hooked from the lower end to the inner side surface of the upper slit constituting member 21a. Yes, even in a situation where only a slight force is applied to the finger 110, it can be put on relatively easily by pulling up the pants 1 as it is.

  FIG. 3 shows a case where a finger is inserted into the slit 210 from the inside to perform an operation. This insertion method can be applied not only to the operation of putting on the pants 1 but also to the operation of taking it off. FIG. 3A shows a state in which the finger 110 other than the thumb such as the index finger is inserted from the inside with the palm facing the front. In this case, it is necessary to perform an operation of twisting the wrist to some extent. FIG. 3B shows a state in which the finger (thumb) 120 is inserted from the inside into the slit 210 with the back of the hand facing forward, and if the fingertip can be bent to some extent, it is hooked on the finger hook 21 and the same as described above. Can be performed. In this case as well, since the upper member of the finger hanging portion 21 is formed with an overlapping portion formed by covering the lower member from the outside, it is only necessary to trace the finger from the upper end side along the inner surface of the pants. The position can be recognized and the fingertip is inserted as it is.

  FIG. 4 shows the structure of the upper end side of the pants 1 in FIG. 2 (A) in more detail. The upper front portion of the pants 1 has a double structure 20 that is reinforced by a backing fabric 250 that has a predetermined range attached from the upper side to the upper side. Has improved the form stability.

  When creating the finger hooks 21 and 22, a sewing end or lint protrudes at the festival position on the back side of the pants, and it is difficult for the slits 210 and 220 to be guided by the fingers, and the safety is also impaired. Although there was a problem that it became easy, the back fabric 250 was added in this way, and the problem was solved by setting the lower end side of the festival position to a position below the finger hooks 21 and 22. . In addition, by providing the double structure portion 20 over a wide range in the lateral direction of the front surface 2 of the pants, a heat retaining function for preventing the stomach from being cooled is also exhibited. Furthermore, if this backing fabric 250 is made using functional fibers with enhanced far-infrared function, the thermal insulation function is further improved.

  On the other hand, a relatively thick flat rubber 60 is provided inside the belt portion 6 to ensure the strength and elastic elasticity of the upper end portion of the pants 1. Also, in the finger hook portion 21 (same for the finger hook portion 22), a band-shaped reinforcing material 211 extending over the entire length of the slit 210 is disposed inside the upper slit constituting member 21a constituting the slit 210, and Similarly, a strip-shaped reinforcing member 212 is also arranged inside the lower slit constituting member 21b. Therefore, the finger-holding portion 21 has an enhanced form maintaining ability as compared with other portions.

  As the reinforcing members 211 and 212, a material obtained by knitting a flat rubber or polyurethane fiber having a high elastic deformability and less causing irreversible slack deformation in a tape shape is suitable. It is firmly sewn to the main body at both ends. Accordingly, even after the operation of putting the finger on the finger hook portion 21 and pulling it many times is performed, the slit 210 is reliably closed. Further, since the reinforcing member 212 is also provided on the lower slit constituting member 21b, it is possible to minimize the slack deformation and maintain a state in which a finger can be easily inserted from the inside of the pants 1. It has become.

  The reinforcing members 211 and 212 are not provided inside as the cores of the slit constituting members 21a and 21b as described above, but are directly sewn to the cloth of the slit constituting members 23a and 23b as shown in FIG. Also good. In addition to the configuration in which the upper slit constituting members 21a and 22a partially overlap the belt portion 6 as described above, they may be arranged at different positions as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 6 shows a side view of the pants 1. In the present embodiment, gather members that are more elastic and elastic than other parts are provided on the left and right side surfaces with a predetermined width across the top and bottom. Yes, the side stretchable parts 4 and 5 are configured. Thereby, while giving the free size effect, the stretchability of the pants circumferential direction increases, and the pants 1 are elastically deformed according to the posture of the user in the take-off operation of the pants 1.

  Therefore, even for users who are difficult to move their fingers freely, it is easy to put on and take off by extending and contracting according to the operation with the fingers hanging on the finger hanging parts 21 and 22, and in the wearing state, The comfort is good because it is easy to fit. In addition, from the viewpoint of further improving the comfort, it is possible to prevent the unevenness of the gather member from directly touching the skin by providing a patch cloth made of a stretchable fabric vertically and horizontally on the inner surface of the stretchable portions 4 and 5. preferable. Moreover, in this Embodiment, the water absorption part 25 using the urine absorptive sheet | seat is provided for the purpose of light incontinence countermeasures.

  FIG. 7 shows a finger hook portion 24 as an application example of the finger hook portions 21 and 22 described above. This example is characterized in that the slit 240 does not penetrate the inside and outside of the pants. As shown in FIG. 6A, in the finger hook portion 24, the upper slit constituting member 24a and the lower slit constituting member 24b ( Both of them have a reinforcing material in the same manner as described above, and the slit 240 has a bag shape inside without penetrating to the back side. Therefore, it is not possible to insert a finger from the inside, but the slit 240 does not become an opening window under any circumstances, and the range in which the opening of the slit 240 extends is limited, so that the shape stability is further improved. It has become.

  FIG. 8 shows a pant 1B as an application example of the pant 1 described above, and FIG. 9 shows a detailed configuration of slits 255 and 265 of the pant 1B. This pant 1B has a feature different from the above in the configuration of the finger hook portions 25 and 26. That is, the vertical widths of the reinforcing members 252 and 262 of the lower slit constituting members 25b and 26b are larger than the vertical widths of the reinforcing members 251 and 261 of the upper slit constituting members 25a and 26a, and The lower ends of the lower reinforcing members 252 and 262 and the lower ends of the upper reinforcing members 251 and 261 are substantially aligned.

  The reason why the vertical widths of the lower reinforcing members 252 and 262 are made larger than the upper side in this manner is that when the lower width is narrow when the fingers are pulled up, the stomach skin is easily exposed. The lower width is enlarged to prevent this (see FIG. 9B). In addition to this, when the pants 1B are raised and lowered with the finger placed on the lower slit constituting members 25b and 26b, there is an effect that the strength of the portion increases and the force is easily applied.

  In addition, the upper and lower reinforcing materials that become the core material are stacked, and the lower end sides thereof are aligned at the positions of the slits 255 and 265, and the both end sides are sewn, so that the slit position is easily understood and the finger hooking operation is facilitated. In addition, there is an advantage that the strength and durability of the finger hook portions 25 and 26 are remarkably improved. In particular, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the vertical width of the portion where the upper slit constituent members 25a and 26a overlap the lower slit constituent members 25b and 26b is 25 to 30 mm. , 265 is assumed to be more than one-third of the estimated total length of about 60 mm (width in which two or three fingers can be inserted), so that the shape maintaining ability of the slits 255, 265 is further improved. ing.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, the vertical width of the upper reinforcing members 251 and 261 is assumed to be about 20 mm, and the vertical width of the lower reinforcing members 252 and 262 is assumed to be about 25 mm, and the material is stretchable. It is assumed to be excellent in durability and durability. This is because, as shown in FIG. 9B, it is easy to apply the force with the finger having a predetermined strength while making it easy to be applied in accordance with the width of the finger joint of about 20 mm. It is. In addition, the distance from the upper end of the belt portion 6B to the slits 25 and 26 is assumed to be about 60 mm. However, this is assumed to be within the length of the finger (60 mm) from the base of the finger, and ease of operation. In particular, this is to ensure the ease of the lifting operation.

  In addition, in this application example, as shown in FIG. 8, it has the characteristics also in the structure of the underpants front surface 2B. This is because the front surface 2B of the pants is composed of a combination of five parts: a double-structure part 2a constituting the central part, parts 2b and 2c constituting the left part, and parts 2d and 2e constituting the right part. . In such a configuration, it is said that providing the finger hook portions 25 and 26 formed by overlapping the upper and lower members on the front surface 2B of the pants is not easy in practice and requires labor and cost. Because there was a problem.

  Therefore, the left and right finger hook portions 25 and 26 are divided into parts 2c and 2e having lower slit constituting members 25b and 26b and parts 2b and 2d having upper slit constituting members 25a and 26a, respectively, By adopting the sewing method, the pants 1B of the present embodiment can be manufactured relatively easily without excessive cost increase.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case of women's shorts has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it goes without saying that the present invention is also applicable to women's zulose, men's briefs, trunks, and the like. In addition, the same function as described above can be exhibited.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the pants used by the elderly / non-healthy people who are handicapped can realize the ease of putting on and taking off without impairing the safety and appearance.
