In both the supporters of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, it is assumed that the thickness of the portion used is not constant in the axial direction. However, by providing any of the supporters with a plurality of joint portions, the tightening strength can be adjusted according to the shape of the winding portion. Therefore, the deviation in the axial direction is unlikely to occur, and the effect thereof is also explained in each patent document. On the other hand, since the plurality of joints are generally tightened in the circumferential direction, the deviation in the circumferential direction depends only on the frictional resistance between the main body and the tightened portion, and effective measures are taken. Not.

By the way, during breeding activities, the horse takes a riding posture in which the male horse rests its front legs from the abdomen to the waist of the mare. At this time, the front legs of the male horse may injure the abdomen to the lumbar region of the mare. In order to avoid injury to the mare, it is desirable to use a supporter suitable for the riding posture on the front legs of the mare. When applying the conventional wrap-around supporter to the front leg of a male horse in a riding posture, the supporter rotates or the front leg with the supporter is on the body surface of the mare even if the supporter does not shift up and down. There was a problem such as slipping on.

Therefore, the present invention is a wrapping type supporter provided with a mechanism for preventing rotation in the circumferential direction when wrapping around a portion to be protected and preventing sliding between the contact portion on the surface and the main body portion. The purpose is to provide.

That is, the present invention is intended to achieve the above-mentioned object, and the means of claim 1 is that the supporter of the present invention is a supporter used by winding it so as to be in contact with a covering body, and piles on the outer surfaces of both front and back surfaces. A main body provided with a cloth, a hook-and-loop fastener for fixing a supporter provided on one side end of the back surface of the main body, and a plurality of patches consisting of an inclined pile and a hook-and-loop fastener for fixing a patch. In the patch, the hook-and-loop fastener for fixing the patch can be joined to the pile fabric, and the raised portion of the inclined pile of one of the patches is arbitrarily determined by the pile-processed fiber. The raised portion of the inclined pile of the other patch is inclined in one direction, and the fibers processed into a pile shape are in the direction opposite to the raised portion of the inclined pile of the patch. It is characterized by being inclined to .

According to the configuration of claim 1, when a patch attached to the back surface of the supporter of the present invention so that the pile fibers densely packed with the inclined pile are inclined in the circumferential direction of the winding of the supporter, the patch of the inclined pile comes into contact with the covering body. The pile fiber creates a resistance force in the circumferential direction to stand up, and the rotation of the main body is prevented. Further, since the pile fiber of the inclined pile attached so that the pile fiber densely packed with the inclined pile inclines in the axial direction of the winding of the supporter causes a resistance force in the axial direction to stand up, the supporter of the present invention is used. It is prevented from sliding between the mounted portion and the portion where the surface of the supporter comes into contact.

Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a back view of the supporter 1 of the present invention in a flatly spread state. Further, FIG. 2 is a surface view of the supporter 1 of the present invention in a flatly spread state. The supporter 1 is used by being wound so that the back surface side is in contact with the leg portion which is the covering body. The main body 2 is made of chloroprene rubber as a base, and pile fabric is provided on the outer surfaces of both the front and back surfaces.

A hook-and-loop fastener 3 for fixing a supporter is provided on one side end of the back surface of the main body 2. The side end portion is a portion that overlaps when the supporter 1 is wound around the covering body, and the hook-and-loop fastener 3 for fixing the supporter is joined to the pile fabric on the surface of the main body portion 2, and the supporter 1 is fixed to the covering body. To. Here, the pile fabric of the main body 2 is raised in a ring shape and can be easily joined to the hook-shaped tip of the hook-and-loop fastener 3 for fixing the supporter.

A plurality of patches 4 are attached to both the front and back surfaces of the main body 2. In FIG. 1, patches 4 are arranged at four locations on the back surface, and in FIG. 2, patches 4 are arranged at two locations on the front surface.

The supporter 1 of the present embodiment is provided with the lap stitch portion 5 on the assumption that one of the axial directions is thick and the other is thin. By providing one lap stitch portion 5 at the upper portion and three lap stitch portions 5 at the lower portion, the design is such that the adhesion is enhanced when the upper portion is thick and the lower portion is wound around a thin covering body. Further, in the supporter 1 of this embodiment, the outer edge portion is protected by the bias tape 6.

FIG. 3 is a diagram relating to the patch 4, the upper diagram of FIG. 3 is a side view showing the joining between the main body portion 2 and the patch 4, and the lower diagram of FIG. 3 is an exploded view of the patch 4. .. The patch 4 includes an inclined pile 4a and a hook-and-loop fastener 4b for fixing the patch. The inclined pile 4a and the hook-and-loop fastener 4b for fixing the patch are sewn together to form the patch 4 as a unit. The patch fixing hook-and-loop fastener 4b is joined to the pile fabric of the main body portion 2, and the patch 4 is fixed to the main body portion 2.

As shown in FIG. 3, the raised portion of the inclined pile 4a is inclined in an arbitrarily determined one direction in a state where fine fibers processed in a pile shape are densely arranged in a brush shape. When the inclined pile 4a is brought into contact with the covering body and slid, when the sliding direction coincides with the inclined direction of the pile fiber, it slides without resistance, and when it slides against the inclination of the pile fiber, it slides. , The pile fibers that engage with the hair and epidermis of the covering or try to stand up are prevented from standing up by the surrounding pile fibers that are densely packed, which causes resistance to sliding.

When the patch 4 attached to the back surface of the supporter 1 of the present invention so that the dense pile fibers of the inclined pile 4a incline in the circumferential direction of the winding of the main body portion 2 comes into contact with the covering body, the pile of the inclined pile 4a The fibers generate a resistance force in the circumferential direction to stand up, and the rotation of the main body 2 is prevented. Returning to FIG. 1, for example, the patch 4 on the left side of the drawing is attached so that the inclined pile 4a is inclined to the left side, and the patch 4 on the right side of the drawing is attached so that the inclined pile 4a is inclined to the right side. Is prevented from rotating in either circumferential direction when the main body 2 is wound around the covering body.

As shown in FIG. 2, the patch 4 attached to the surface is attached for the purpose of preventing the main body portion 2 from sliding with respect to the portion where the surface comes into contact. Since the inclined pile 4a of the patch 4 mounted on the surface exerts a resistance force in the circumferential direction in which the dense pile fibers try to stand up, the portion where the supporter 1 of the present invention is mounted is the portion where the surface contacts. , Prevents the surface from sliding against the contact area. For example, the patch 4 on the upper side of the drawing of FIG. 2 is attached so that the inclined pile 4a is inclined upward, and the patch 4 on the lower side of the drawing is attached so that the inclined pile 4a is inclined downward. When wound around the covering body, it is possible to prevent the portion where the supporter 1 is attached from sliding with respect to the portion where the surface of the main body portion 2 comes into contact with each other in either axial direction.

The direction of rotation or sliding prevented by using the patch 4 is not limited to the above-mentioned example. It is also possible to arrange the patch 4 on the surface so as to prevent sliding in the circumferential direction. The number of patches 4 to be attached is not limited to either surface, and may be one. It is also conceivable to attach only one patch 4 to the back surface to prevent rotation only in a specific circumferential direction. By considering the orientation of the inclined pile 4a, the desired effect of preventing rotation or sliding can be obtained. The orientation of the inclined pile 4a is not limited to the axial direction or the circumferential direction, and may be angled with respect to the axial direction or the circumferential direction. Further, the patch 4 can be joined to any portion of the pile fabric of the main body portion 2, and the area of the portion of the inclined pile 4a of the patch 4 can be appropriately determined in consideration of the joining position. ..

As for the inclined pile 4a of the patch 4, a known article can be applied because the raised portion may be inclined in an arbitrarily determined one direction in a state where fine fibers processed into a pile shape are densely packed. can. For example, a lint brush for clothing for the purpose of removing dust and fluff is suitable as the inclined pile 4a. FIG. 3 schematically shows the dense state of the raised portion of the inclined pile 4a as an enlarged view, but the dense state of the raised portion of the inclined pile 4a is not limited to that shown in the enlarged view of FIG. It can be modified and used within the scope of the present invention.

The supporter 1 of the present invention can be applied to the breeding activity of a horse controlled by human hands, for example, a racehorse. FIG. 4 is a diagram in which the supporter 1 is attached to the front leg of a male horse as a breeding horse as a covering body. When the horse is in the riding position, the supporter 1 wrapped around the front leg of the mare is prevented from rotating by the patch 4 on the back surface, and the surface of the main body 2 comes into contact with the surface of the mare. Since the patch 4 attached to the surface of the main body 2 prevents the position of the front legs of the mare and the body surface of the mare from shifting, not only the riding posture is stabilized but also the body surface of the mare can be protected. can.

Further, FIG. 5 is a back view of a human supporter 7 to which the supporter 1 of the present invention is adapted with a human leg as a covering. The human supporter 7 is provided with two recesses 8 on the sides, and has a structure that makes it easy to adjust the tightening when the supporters 7 are wound around the upper and lower thighs and lower legs of the knee at the same time. The patch 9 arranged on the back surface prevents the human supporter 7 from rotating, and a stable wearing feeling can be obtained.
