However, the inventions proposed in Patent Documents 1 to 3 are worn to support the abdomen of a pregnant woman, and when the abdomen of the pregnant woman is impacted for some reason, the abdomen directly impacts. You will receive it. For example, if an infant punches the abdomen of a pregnant woman, the impact of the punch will be directly received regardless of whether or not the baby is dressed. In such a situation, it is considered that the abdomen of the pregnant woman cannot be sufficiently protected.

In addition, pregnant women who are planning to give birth to their second and subsequent children generally give birth while raising their first child. Pregnant women during this period have to do both housework and childcare, and are extremely busy and tend to fall into a situation where they are not careful. For example, it is assumed that during housework, the abdomen may be inadvertently hit against the edge of the table, or the first child may suddenly run up and the head of the first child may collide with the abdomen of a pregnant woman. Will be done.

In the above situation, in the worst case, the possibility of miscarriage of the fetus cannot be denied.

The present invention has been made focusing on these problems, and provides a protector for pregnant women that protects the abdomen of a pregnant woman from the impact even if the abdomen of the pregnant woman is impacted for some reason.

The invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is a protector for a pregnant woman, which is a protector for a pregnant woman, which is connected to an annular outer peripheral frame worn on the outer periphery of the abdomen of the pregnant woman and the outer peripheral frame to cover the abdomen at a distance from the abdomen. The protective unit is provided with a portion, and the protective portion is straddled in the left-right direction of the outer peripheral frame, and is connected to a plurality of horizontal members arranged in the vertical direction and is straddled in the vertical direction of the outer peripheral frame in the vertical direction. It has a plurality of vertical members arranged side by side, and the horizontal members and the vertical members are provided at intervals from the abdomen, and the vertical members are more elastic than the horizontal members and have cushioning performance to further alleviate the impact. It is characterized by that.

According to this configuration, the protective part covers the abdomen at a distance from the abdomen, so that the abdomen is not directly impacted. For example, an infant may punch the abdomen of a pregnant woman, or may inadvertently hit the abdomen against the edge of the table during housework, or the first child may suddenly run up to the abdomen of the pregnant woman. Even when the head of the first child or the like is about to collide, the impact is received by the protective part, so the abdomen is not directly impacted.
According to this configuration, since the vertical members and the horizontal members are arranged in a grid pattern in the protective unit, the impact received by the protective unit is dispersed and transmitted to the outer peripheral frame.
According to this configuration, since the vertical member has more elasticity than the horizontal member, it is difficult for the impact to be directly transmitted from the vertical member to the outer peripheral frame, and the impact received by the vertical member mainly affects the horizontal member. It is transmitted to the outer peripheral frame via. Therefore, the impact is more likely to be transmitted to the lateral portion to which the lateral member is connected than to the upper and lower portions of the outer peripheral frame, and the impact force to the lower abdomen and the upper abdomen, which are easily affected by the collision, is further alleviated. Further, since the vertical member has a cushioning performance for cushioning the impact, the impact received by the infant's head is mitigated even when the infant's head collides.

Preferably, the vertical member is characterized in that it projects to the front of the horizontal member.

According to this configuration, since the vertical member protrudes to the front of the horizontal member, the vertical member first receives an impact, and the impact is transmitted to the horizontal member via the vertical member.

Preferably, the outer peripheral frame is characterized by being fitted with a shock absorbing member.

According to this configuration, the outer peripheral frame is equipped with a cushioning member that cushions the impact, so that the impact received by the abdomen can be mitigated.

Preferably, the holding means for holding the wearing position of the outer peripheral frame is provided, and the holding means is characterized by having a body portion holding portion to be worn around the waist.

According to this configuration, as a holding means for holding the wearing position of the outer peripheral frame, a torso holding portion to be worn around the waist is provided, so that the pregnant woman holds the outer frame around the waist. As a result, the physical burden on the pregnant woman due to dressing can be reduced.

Preferably, the holding means is characterized by having a leg holding that is worn on the thigh and / or a shoulder holding that is worn on the shoulder.

According to this configuration, as the holding means, in addition to the torso holding portion, the leg holding portion to be worn on the thigh and the shoulder holding portion to be worn on the shoulder are further provided, so that the outer peripheral frame is securely attached to the abdomen. Can be dressed in.

It is a front perspective view which shows the wearing state of the protector for a pregnant woman. The same is the rear view. It is a front view of the protector for a pregnant woman. (A) is a side sectional view showing a fitted state of a horizontal member and a vertical member. (B) is a plan sectional view of the same. It is sectional drawing of the outer peripheral frame.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the pregnant woman PW wears a pregnant woman protector 1 (hereinafter referred to as a protector 1) from above the underwear 100. The protector 1 has an outer peripheral frame 10, a protective unit 20, and a holding means 60.

The outer peripheral frame 10 is an annular member that comes into contact with the outer periphery of the abdomen A while being held by the holding means 60. The protective portion 20 is fixed to the outer peripheral frame 10 and covers the abdomen A in a state of being spaced from the abdomen A. That is, the protection unit 20 is provided in the inner region of the outer peripheral frame 10.

The holding means 60 has a torso holding portion 30 that is used by being wrapped around the waist portion W, a shoulder portion holding portion 40 that is used over the shoulder S, and a leg portion holding portion 50 that is inserted and used through the thigh portion T. ..

As shown in FIG. 3, the body holding portion 30 has the body belts 31 and 32. The body belts 31 and 32 are connected to the outer peripheral frame 10, and the surface fasteners 33a and 33b are attached to the ends thereof. The body belt 31 is longer than the body belt 32, and an expansion / contraction portion 35 composed of an expansion / contraction member having a high elasticity is provided in the middle portion. The body belt 31 is wound around the waist W in a state where the stretchable portion 35 is slightly stretched, and the hook-and-loop fasteners 33a and 33b are brought into contact with each other. As a result, the outer peripheral frame 10 is held by the abdomen A without being displaced in the vertical direction.

The telescopic portion 35 is mainly provided at a position where it abuts on the lumbar portion W and the buttock portion BU. The telescopic portion 35 has a function of softly fitting according to the dents and bulges of the lumbar portion W and the buttock portion BU. As a result, the body holding portion 30 can be worn at a fixed position without shifting.

The stretchable portion 35 is preferably made of a material that can stretch and contract in any direction. For example, it is preferable to use a knitted fabric in which elastic fibers made of polyurethane or the like and cotton fibers or rayon fibers are woven together, or a knitted fabric in which elastic performance is ensured by a knitting method without using elastic fibers.

The shoulder holding portion 40 has a pair of shoulder belts 41a and 41b. One end of the shoulder belts 41a and 41b is detachably connected to the outer peripheral frame 10 via buckles 42a and 42b. Further, the other ends of the shoulder belts 41a and 41b are detachably connected to the body belts 31 and 32 via the buckles 43a and 43b. The shoulder belts 41a and 41b are equipped with length adjusting metal fittings 44a and 44b at positions that can be operated by hand. The length adjusting metal fittings 44a and 44b are metal fittings for adjusting the length of the shoulder belts 41a and 41b, and the shoulder belts 41a and 41b can be adjusted to an appropriate length by operating the length adjusting metal fittings 44a and 44b. can. The shoulder belts 41a and 41b are preferably made of a highly elastic material. By applying the shoulder belts 41a and 41b to the shoulder S with an appropriate tensile force applied, it is possible to prevent the outer peripheral frame 10 and the upper abdomen UA from separating even if the posture of the pregnant woman PW changes.

The leg holding portion 50 has a pair of tubular belts 51, 51. The tubular belt 51 is a cylindrical belt, and a connecting belt 53 is attached to the tubular belt 51. The connection belt 53 is detachably connected to the outer peripheral frame 10 via a snap button 52. The tubular belt 51 is used by inserting it through the thigh portion T. The tubular belt 51 and the connecting belt 53 are preferably made of a highly elastic material. By tightening the thigh T with an appropriate tensile force applied, the tightening position does not shift even if the posture of the pregnant woman PW changes. Further, by setting the connecting belt 53 in a state where an appropriate tensile force is applied, it is possible to prevent the outer peripheral frame 10 and the lower abdomen LA from being separated even if the posture of the pregnant woman PW changes.

The outer peripheral frame 10 is an annular member that contacts the outer periphery of the abdomen A, that is, the outer edges of the flank F, the upper abdomen UA, and the lower abdomen LA, and is for supporting the protective portion 20. The end of the protective portion 20 is connected to the outer peripheral frame 10. The protection unit 20 includes a horizontal member 21 which is straddled in the left-right direction D1 (see FIG. 4) of the outer peripheral frame 10 and is composed of seven members arranged at substantially equal intervals in the vertical direction, and a vertical direction D2 of the outer peripheral frame 10. It has a vertical member 22 composed of five members that are straddled and arranged at substantially equal intervals in the left-right direction D1. The number of the horizontal member 21 and the vertical member 22 may be appropriately determined in consideration of the usage situation.

As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the horizontal member 21 and the vertical member 22 are bow-shaped members that are convex in the front D3 (direction in which the abdomen A protrudes). The cross member 21 is an arcuate rod having a circular cross section. The vertical member 22 is a rod having a substantially rectangular cross section having a circular tip portion 22a. The vertical member 22 is provided so as to project from the horizontal member 21, and a fitting hole 26 for slidably fitting the horizontal member 21 is defined. As a result, the horizontal member 21 and the vertical member 22 are fixed to each other.

In the present embodiment, the horizontal member 21 is slidably fitted in the fitting hole 26 defined in the vertical member 22, but the structure is such that the horizontal member 21 and the vertical member 22 are mutually fixed. May be good.

The cross member 21 is preferably made of a material that is lightweight, has excellent elasticity, and has a predetermined strength, for example, made of glass fiber or plastic. The vertical member 22 is preferably made of a material that is softer than the horizontal member 21 and has cushioning performance, for example, rubber. Further, it is preferable that the vertical members 22 are spaced so that the fists of the punched infant do not pass when the infant punches. This prevents the infant's punch from directly hitting the abdomen.

As shown in FIG. 5, the outer peripheral frame 10 has a frame portion 11 and a cushioning member 12. The frame portion 11 is an annular member that supports the horizontal member 21 and the vertical member 22, and is attached to the outer periphery of the abdomen A via the cushioning member 12. The frame portion 11 is preferably made of a material having strength enough to withstand the impact of a collision and having excellent flexibility, for example, made of glass fiber or plastic.

The cushioning member 12 is an annular member having a U-shaped cross-sectional view that is connected to the lower end portion of the frame portion 11, and is for alleviating the impact received by the pregnant woman PW.

Pregnant women who are planning to give birth to their second and subsequent children generally give birth while raising their first child. Pregnant women during this period have to do both housework and childcare, and are extremely busy and tend to fall into a situation where they are not careful. For example, it is assumed that during housework, the abdomen may be inadvertently hit against the edge of the table, or the first child may suddenly run up and the head of the first child may collide with the abdomen of a pregnant woman. Will be done. It is also assumed that the infant will punch the abdomen of the pregnant woman.

As an example, the behavior of the protector 1 when the heads of the first child or the like collide will be described.

When the first child or the like suddenly runs up and the head of the first child or the like collides with the protector 1, the impact is received by the vertical member 22 provided so as to project forward D3 from the horizontal member 21. Since the vertical member 22 has cushioning performance, the impact force received by the head of the first child or the like is alleviated. On the other hand, the impact received by the vertical member 22 is difficult to be directly transmitted from the vertical member 22 to the outer peripheral frame 10 because the vertical member 22 has cushioning properties and elasticity, and mainly passes through the horizontal member 21. It is transmitted to the outer peripheral frame 10. Therefore, the impact is more likely to be transmitted to the lateral portion to which the lateral member 21 is connected than to the upper and lower portions of the outer peripheral frame 10.

Since the horizontal member 21 and the vertical member 22 are provided at intervals from the abdomen A, the abdomen A is not directly affected by the collision. This ensures the safety of the fetus.

Further, the impact force transmitted mainly to the lateral portion of the outer peripheral frame 10 is received mainly by the waist portion W in the vicinity of the flank F via the cushioning member 12. At this time, the impact received by the lower abdomen LA and the upper abdomen UA is reduced as compared with the impact received by the waist W in the vicinity of the flank F.
That is, the impact force of the lower abdomen LA and the upper abdomen UA, which are easily affected by the collision, is alleviated, so that the burden of the impact on the pregnant woman PW is reduced.

This embodiment is an example, and it is needless to say that the present embodiment can be modified without departing from the technical idea of the present invention.

The protector of the present invention has great industrial applicability because it can ensure the safety of pregnant women and fetuses by wearing it, especially for pregnant women who are extremely busy with childbirth while doing household chores and raising children.
