Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a supporter to be attached to a joint part of a body, an elbow, an arm part, a leg part, a thigh part, etc., and in particular, a supporter having stretchability that can be appropriately attached with a heat insulating agent or a cold insulating agent About.

  Supporters intended for body wearing have been developed with various functions and forms according to the wearing site, purpose and application.

  For example, as a supporter attached with a heat retaining means or a cold retaining means (hereinafter abbreviated as “warming / cooling means”) such as gel, liquid, or sheet for the purpose of heat absorption and heat which is the subject of the present invention, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, and Patent Document 4 disclose a configuration in which a dedicated storage bag is attached to the main body of the supporter and the heating / cooling means is stored therein. Further, Patent Document 5 and Patent Document 6 disclose that the knitting structure of the fabric material of the supporter main body portion is made dense or has a double structure to provide heat retention.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 01-0662820 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-257049 JP 2006-345946 A JP 2017-166098 A Utility Model Registration No. 3060591 JP 2014-223106 A

  As is clear from the above documents, supporters for the purpose of keeping warm and keeping cold always have a dedicated storage bag and holding area in the supporter body, and as a normal supporter, that is, keep warm and keep cool It was something that was not planned to be used in a state where it was not.

  Moreover, since this clamping area is also in a pocket shape, there is a limitation in the shape and the like of the heating and cooling means that can be accommodated there, and there is a problem in the selection and mounting method of the use site.

  Further, although it is possible to simply fold back both ends of the conventional cylindrical supporter and sandwich the heating / cooling means, this method is convenient and its holding lacks stability. In addition, there is a risk of slipping or dropping off during long-time use.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made for the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problems, and can be used as a normal support during exercise, and if necessary, an appropriate heating / cooling means is attached to the muscle fatigue. It is to provide a supporter for body wearing for the purpose of recovery.

  Therefore, the body-supporting supporter of the present invention has the following configuration.

A body-worn supporter formed in a cylindrical shape from a stretchable fabric material, and having a predetermined length and a predetermined width at the opening edge of the main body, and a predetermined width at the opening edge of the main body, and A first annular band portion integrally formed with a stronger elasticity than the main body portion, and an outer surface in a direction from the boundary portion between the first annular band portion and the main body portion toward the main body portion, has elasticity. It is characterized by comprising a loop member for folding formed of a cloth material into a cylindrical shape having a predetermined length. The folding ring part may be formed only on one end side of the main body part or on both end sides. The stretchability of the first annular band portion may be the same as that of the main body portion, and may be formed with a stronger stretching force than the main body portion if necessary. Furthermore, it said turn-back annulus portion and the body portion, and a first annular band portion, may be formed in a fabric material having a different elasticity, respectively.

  Here, the folding ring part is formed in a cylindrical shape having a predetermined length continuous from the main body part, with the vicinity of the boundary between the first annular belt part and the main body part being the attachment position. In other words, the state where the first annular belt portion is exposed as a belt-like body that circulates around the opening edge of the supporter when the folding ring body portion is folded on the outer surface of the main body portion (or extended state). This is the configuration presented. By adopting this configuration, the fabric material of the main body part and the fabric material of the folding ring body part are in a continuous state, and the folding ring body part is fixed to the body wearing part of the supporter and is familiar with the skin. There is an effect to improve. In addition, it is possible to eliminate the rise of the crease portion of the folding ring body portion, and to avoid misalignment during use or contact with other places during movement or catching. As a result, the appearance and body sensation are enhanced, and the effect of making the user feel more integrated is achieved.

In addition, a circumferential belt-like second annular belt portion having a predetermined width may be integrally formed at the opening edge portion of the folding ring body portion, and has a stronger stretching force than the main body portion.

  As a result, when the folding ring part is folded back to the main body part side, the effect of improving the supporter's fixability and the familiarity with the skin is obtained, and the temperature held between the folding ring part and the main body part is increased. It is possible to more effectively prevent the cooling means from being displaced or dropped out.

Furthermore, when the body wearing part is a supporter that uses the knee or elbow as a supporter, the body part has stronger stretching force than the body part specified for taping for joint, muscle, ligament, and tendon reinforcement or prevention of injury. It is characterized in that the support portion that is held is integrally knitted, or is formed as a separate overlapping or stacked layer. The term “integrated knitting” means that weaving is performed with different elasticity of yarn when weaving the fabric material. Further, “separately formed separately” means that the woven material or non-woven material having a strong elasticity different from the cloth material of the main body portion is used to form an overlapped shape.

  Further, each of the first annular band and the second annular band may be configured as an annular band by rotating the band-like body once or a plurality of times in the length direction.

  The supporter of the present invention having the above configuration is configured such that the folding ring part is folded back to the body part side when necessary, and can be used by appropriately sandwiching an object.

  With the above configuration, the folding ring body portion can be folded and overlapped on the upper surface side (or outer peripheral surface side) of the main body portion, and the heating / cooling means can be inserted and sandwiched between the overlapped portions. Further, the removal of the sandwiched object is merely to lift the folding ring part on the upper surface side of the main body part and pull out the sandwiched object.

  Furthermore, by constituting each of the first annular band and the second annular band by winding a plurality of band-like bodies, it is possible to increase the tightening force on the body or widen its clamping range, The holding power to time can also be increased.

  Below, the best example of the supporter concerning the present invention is described in detail based on a drawing. In addition, the name of each component is defined in consideration of the function in the present invention, and is not meant to limit the technical component of the present invention. Moreover, each name defined for each component may be referred to as another name in the industry.

  In addition, the supporter 1 of a present Example is demonstrated below as a supporter formed mainly for the purpose of the use to the knee of the body part B, and an elbow circumference.

  The supporter 1 of the present embodiment is mainly composed of a main body portion 2 and a folding ring body portion 4 formed continuously in the vicinity of both end openings of the main body portion 2, both of which are stretchable fabric materials made of arbitrary fibers. (For example, knitted fabric, woven fabric, or non-woven fabric).

  First, the main body 2 forms a cylindrical body with both ends open, and the opening edge 20 at both ends has a belt-shaped first annular band that is a little thicker than the main body 2 or similar material and has a predetermined width. 21 is integrally formed in a circular shape. The first annular belt portion 21 is formed with a stretching force stronger than the stretching force of the main body 2. Depending on the body use site, the stretching force of the first annular band portion 21 may be the same as that of the main body portion 2.

  Near the middle of the main body 2 there is a strong stretching force constructed to tap, which is an existing well-known or special effect aimed at reinforcing joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons, or preventing injury or injury. A support portion 22 is provided. Since the taping specification is not the main point of the present invention, a detailed configuration is omitted. As a material of this support part 22, it forms integrally with materials, such as a woven fabric, a nonwoven fabric, a resinous sheet, or a nonmetallic mesh.

  From the boundary portion 3 between the first annular band portion 21 and the main body portion 2, a cylindrical folding ring body portion 4 is formed continuously. The folding ring portion 4 is formed so as to be in a two-layer state with the main body portion 2 when superimposed on the main body portion 2 from the boundary portion 3. In this embodiment, the turn ring portion 4 is knitted with the same fabric material as that of the main body portion 2, but may be formed with materials having different elongation rates. Rather, in consideration of sandwiching an object, it is a preferable specification that the folding ring body portion 4 has a stronger stretching force.

In this embodiment, the cylindrical length dimension (or the length of the busbar) of the folding ring body portion 4 is set to about half of the longitudinal dimension of the main body portion 2, and the open opening edge portion 40 is opened. A second annular belt portion 41 having the same configuration as that of the main body portion 2 is formed in a circular shape.
(how to use)

  The supporter configured as described above is attached to the body B so as to pass through the opening edge 40 of the cylindrical main body 2 with the folding ring body 4 folded back to the main body 2. While pulling the vicinity of the first annular band portion 21 of the edge portion 40, the body B is moved to a desired part (knee, elbow, arm, upper arm, shin, etc.) and attached.

  In a state in which the folding ring body portion 4 is extended outward from the opening edge portion 20 of the main body portion 2 without being folded back, a separate cylindrical body is added to both ends of the main body portion 2 to form a total of three sections of the cylindrical body. Appearance that is connected. In this state, the main body part 2 having the same or different stretchability and the first annular belt part 21 and the second annular belt part 41 on both ends are used as long-type supporters having different stretching or tightening forces. You can also

  On the other hand, the folding ring body portion 4 can be folded over so that the boundary portion 3 between the main body portion 2 and the first annular belt portion 21 is a folding line and is turned over to the intermediate side of the main body portion 2 (arrow M). . In this folded state, the second annular belt portion 41 of the folding ring body portion 4 covers approximately half of the outer surface of the main body portion 2 and becomes a two-layer state. At this time, the second annular belt portions 41 that are folded and face each other approach each other at an intermediate position of the main body portion 2. And the 1st annular belt part 21 will exhibit the state exposed by the both-ends edge part 20 of the main-body part 2. FIG.

  By taking an exposed structure from both edge portions 20 of the first annular band portion 21, it is possible to ensure adhesion without gaps to the main body portion 2 of the folding ring body portion 4 and to form a two-layer structure. A stable tightening force can be secured.

  In the supporter 1 configured as in the present embodiment, a clamping region 5 in which the expansion / contraction force of the folding ring part 4 becomes a clamping force is formed between the two layers of the main body part 2 and the folding ring part 4. Is done.

  It is possible to insert a hot / cold agent 6 as a heating / cooling means having an appropriate size into the holding region 5 so as to be held and held. In addition, since the hot / cold agent 6 is sandwiched between the two layers, it can be sandwiched and held at an appropriate circumferential position without specifying the position. Further, it may be held only on the lower side (FIG. 5) or on both upper and lower sides (FIG. 6), and various usage forms are possible.

Moreover, since the said clamping area | region 5 is formed in the revolving shape as mentioned above, even if it is a long type heating / cooling agent 61, it can be hold | maintained in a revolving shape. Furthermore, depending on a required part, it is possible to use a form (FIG. 7) in which a long type heating / cooling agent 61 is held over the upper and lower clamping regions 5.
