  The present invention relates to a supporter with a reinforcing member.

  Supporters used for medical use and sports use include supporters with reinforcing members that hold joints by restricting movement of the joints or pressing them.

  As a manufacturing method of the supporter with a reinforcing member, there is a method of sewing a reinforcing member made of cloth or metal to the supporter. However, this process is extremely inefficient and requires a high degree of skill in the work. As a manufacturing method for solving this inconvenience, a method in which a liquid elastic material is attached to a supporter and cured to form a reinforcing member has been proposed and widely used by the present inventors (Patent Document 1). This manufacturing method is efficient and easy to work. However, in this manufacturing method, since the elastic material is attached to form a plate, if a large deformation is applied when the supporter is attached / detached, the plate-shaped elastic material will be fatigued, causing cracks or damage. There is. Therefore, the inventor of the present application applies a liquid elastic material on the surface of the supporter by coating, screen printing, or the like, a surface composed of a large number of points, a surface composed of a large number of lines, or a large number of surfaces. A method of manufacturing a supporter with a reinforcing member is proposed and put into practical use by adhering so as to form a surface having a hole, and then curing the elastic material to provide a reinforcing member that bears tension, bending rigidity, or compression force. (Patent Document 2). Furthermore, in order to reduce the frictional resistance of the surface, it has also been proposed to provide a large number of glass beads on the surface of the reinforcing member (Patent Document 3).

  On the other hand, in Patent Document 4, a base material having elasticity, an electrode provided on the base material, an electrode provided on the base material, and an electrode and an electrical circuit are provided in order to give the fabric a heat retaining function. A resistor having a self-temperature control function connected to the substrate, the substrate is formed of a knitted fabric, the electrode is mixed with conductive metal powder, a binder resin, and an elastic material, and the resistor is carbon, There is disclosed a planar heating element that expands and contracts following the substrate by mixing a binder resin, a crystalline resin, and an elastic material (claim 1).

  Hereinafter, specific embodiments to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a usage mode of the supporter 1 according to the first embodiment of this invention. The example shown in FIG. 1 is a knee supporter. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the supporter fabric 1 in the present embodiment, FIG. 2 (a) is a vertical cross-sectional view, and FIG. 2 (b) is a cross-sectional view. Here, for the sake of convenience, the supporter and the supporter fabric are represented by the same reference numerals (reference numeral 1, reference numeral 21, etc.). In the present embodiment, reinforcing members 8 are disposed on the left and right sides of the patella of the knee supporter 1. The supporter 1 has a cylindrical shape and is provided in a substantially “<” shape over the edge portions 6 and 6 at the upper and lower ends thereof. The reinforcing member 8 includes a resistor 5 made of a conductive resin containing a rubber material and an elastic resin 3 covering the resistor 5 (FIGS. 1, 2A and 2B). In FIG. 1, only the left side is shown, but the reinforcing member 8 is similarly arranged on the right side.

  The conductive resin 5 constituting the reinforcing member 8 is formed on both sides of the supporter 1 and is disposed from the upper edge portion 6 to the lower edge portion 6 of the dough 2, thereby While reinforcing the left and right muscles, the area of the resistor 5 is widened (FIG. 1). The fabric 2 is a supporter fabric, and a known knitted fabric or woven fabric is applied.

  The resistor 5 is heated by heating a conductive resin containing a rubbery material so as to form a predetermined width with a thickness of about 1 to 3 mm, or discharged from a nozzle. The resistor 5 is formed by placing on the dough 2 and thermosetting. Then, the elastic member 3 made of an insulating rubber material is applied so as to cover the resistor 5 in accordance with the shape of the resistor 5, and the reinforcing member 8 is formed by thermosetting or natural curing. Yes.

  Examples of the rubber material include silicone rubber, urethane rubber, natural rubber, nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, and elastomer.

  According to the present embodiment, since the conductive resin includes a rubber material, the fabric 2 having high stretchability is configured to stretch and contract following this.

  The conductive resin is a paste-like composition containing conductive fine particles, a protective agent or dispersant that covers the surface of the conductive fine particles, a solvent, and a rubbery material, and is thermally cured. A conductive film that exhibits high conductivity is formed. Metal fine particles are used as the conductive fine particles contained in the conductive resin. The metal fine particles are, for example, metal fine particles having a particle size of 100 nm or less.

  In this embodiment, the conductive resin contains a heat generating material. Examples of the heat generating material include carbon, copper, silver, gold, aluminum, iron, nickel, titanium, cobalt, bismuth, and composite materials thereof. These metal fine particles function as a heat generating material, and the resistor 5 generates heat when energized. Here, a pulse power supply 9 is used.

  According to this embodiment, when the resistor 5 generates heat by energization, the supporter 1 that keeps or warms the body is obtained.

  In the present embodiment, the conductive resin contains a magnetic material. Examples of the magnetic material include iron, nickel, cobalt, and composite materials thereof. These metal fine particles function as a magnetic material, and a magnetic field is formed in the resistor 5 by energization. Here, a pulse power supply 9 is used.

  According to the present embodiment, a magnetic field is formed in the resistor 5 by energization, so that the supporter 1 can obtain a magnetic effect such as improvement of blood flow of the body by the formed magnetic field.

  In this embodiment, the electrode 4 is disposed on the edge portion 6 of the supporter 1 (FIGS. 1 and 2A). The electrode 4 and the resistor 5 are bonded to each other and electrically connected. Examples of the material of the electrode 4 include carbon, copper, silver, gold, aluminum, iron, nickel, titanium, cobalt, and bismuth, and composite materials thereof. Examples of the shape of the electrode 4 include a plate shape, a wire shape, a coil shape, and a foil shape.

  The electrode 4 is connected to the power source 9 via wirings 91 and 92 (FIG. 1). The electrode 4 of the present embodiment is formed by adding a conductive short metal wire to a conductive paste and thermally curing it, and is formed at the same time when the resistor 5 is formed.

  In the present embodiment, the electrode 4 is disposed at a position where the electrode 4 is edged when used as a supporter (FIGS. 1 and 2A). The edge portion as a supporter is made of a thick cloth, so that the electrode 4 can be embedded. Further, the edge portion as a supporter is usually configured to be wide and has a high stretch force. However, in this edge portion, the electrode as the metal wire does not break.

  According to the supporter 1 of the present embodiment, since the reinforcing member 8 is provided on the surface of the fabric 2, even if a large deformation is applied at the time of attachment / detachment, the elongation of the reinforcing member 8 is limited, and the elastic resin 3 is deteriorated, cracked, or the like. It is prevented.

  Here, the supporter in the present specification is not a narrow meaning such as a cloth woven with rubber for protecting a joint or a part by a patient or a sports athlete, but a cloth-like thing for protecting the body, Including those that have the function of restricting the movement of joints and urging and holding bones in a certain direction, the shape for that is not only cylindrical, but also in the form of outerwear and underwear, It is a concept that includes things that maintain a close contact with the body. For example, spats and gaiters are included in the present application.

  FIG. 3 is another example of a cross-sectional view of the supporter fabric 1 in the supporter of the above embodiment, FIG. 3 (a) is a vertical cross-sectional view, and FIG. 3 (b) is a cross-sectional view. In the present embodiment, the fabric 2, the elastic resin 3, the resistor 5, and the elastic resin 3 are arranged in this order from bottom to top to form a multilayer structure. The elastic resin 3 is insulative. For example, a thermoplastic rubber-like synthetic resin manufactured by ThreeBond Co., Ltd. is heated to about 120 ° C. with a hot melt applicator to form a liquid, which is discharged from a nozzle and adhered onto the fabric 2. Formed by natural cooling and curing. This elastic resin 3 is transparent. Therefore, even if an elastic resin having a large number of microspheres, a reflective agent, or a phosphorescent material, which will be described later, is applied, the emitted light is not hindered. In addition, since the internal resistor 5 can be visually recognized from the exposed uppermost elastic resin 3, positioning becomes easy when the supporter 1 is attached to the affected area. And by making it a sandwich structure, while the resistance prevention effect of the resistor 5 increases, the intensity | strength as the reinforcement member 8 can be given strongly.

  FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the application state of the conductive resin in the supporter fabric of this embodiment. When the conductive resin is applied to the fabric 2, the fiber may partially penetrate into the fiber and the applied portion may be concave. By applying the elastic resin 3 thereon, the strength as the reinforcing member 8 is increased. You may make it hold and do not rise so much from the dough 2. The resistor 5 and the elastic resin 3 may be formed on both sides of the cloth 2. In the case of double-sided formation, it may be formed so as to be symmetric on the front and back surfaces, or may have different shapes on the front and back surfaces.

  As a method for forming the elastic resin 3, for example, a liquid material in which two liquid mixture type silicone rubber KE1950-30 manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. is mixed is discharged from a nozzle, and the thickness is about 1 to 3 mm. It is good also as a method of making it into the surface of desired shape, putting the cloth | dough 2 on this surface, and heating and hardening | curing for about 10 seconds at the temperature of about 150 degreeC after that. The two-component mixed silicone rubber KE1950-30 has an elongation to break of 700% (refer to the catalog of Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.) and an elastic limit of about 300%. A stretch jersey fabric (rubber fabric) is used. The material of the fabric 2 is a rubber-supported fabric, but materials containing cotton are suitable because they have good adhesion to the elastic resin 3.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating how the supporter according to the first embodiment is used in another example. FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view of the supporter fabric 1 in the supporter of the first embodiment, FIG. 16A is a vertical cross-sectional view, and FIG. 16B is a cross-sectional view.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 15 and 16A and 16B, a large number of glass beads 7 which are microspheres are embedded in the elastic resin 3 halfway. These glass beads 7 are spherical and have a diameter of 35 to 300 micrometers and are colorless and transparent. Here, the glass beads 7 are preferably uniform in individual diameter, and specifically, glass beads having a diameter of 38 to 50 micrometers are preferably used. Each glass bead 7 is fixed in a state where the lower half is embedded in the elastic resin 3, and the upper half is exposed. Since the glass beads 7 are spherical, they have retroreflectivity, and have a function of reflecting light incident on the glass beads 7 from the outside toward the incident direction. In the same manner, by adding a reflective agent or a phosphorescent material to the resistor 5 made of the conductive resin, light is emitted by more complicated reflection, and different light emission is also caused by heat generation of the resistor 5. it can. On the other hand, it is also possible to make the light emission remarkable by making the color of the support fabric 2 black and also using the resistor 5 and the elastic resin 3 in black.

  The elastic resin 3 is made of an elastic material such as urethane resin, has a predetermined tensile strength due to the elastic force of the elastic resin 3 itself, and holds and fixes the lower half of the glass bead 7 from its periphery. This prevents the glass beads 7 from falling off. Further, when a planar pressure is applied to the glass beads 7 as an external force, the glass beads 7 have a buffer function of absorbing the pressure with the elastic force of the elastic resin 3 itself. In this embodiment, the resin layer made of the elastic resin 3 is formed to a thickness of 30 to 40 micrometers, but the elastic force can be arbitrarily set by changing the thickness. The resin used as the elastic resin 3 can be colored in a predetermined color by previously containing a dye.
