Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Structure] A knitting material that cannot be piled is attached to the inner surface of a foamable rubber thin plate such as neoprene rubber to generate fine and dense pile-like raised hairs, and a high degree of expansion in each direction. A material having a pile-shaped raised surface that allows expansion and contraction is formed, and a neck insertion opening 3 and a hand insertion opening 4 for inserting the neck and both hands and feet respectively using the material.
4 and the foot insertion openings 5 and 5 are provided, and the detached opening for attachment and detachment, which is usually provided on the back, is removed. [Effect] Since a fastener such as a fastener is not required on the back of the wetsuit, it is possible to obtain a stretchable and easy-to-move wetsuit that fits better to the body.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to improvement of a wetsuit used in marine sports such as diving and surfing.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Wet suits are made of a foamable rubber thin plate such as neoprene rubber as a base material, and a stretchable knit fabric such as jersey is attached to the front surface and / or the back surface as needed, and the neck and Each opening for inserting both hands and both feet, and a detachable opening opened through the neck insertion opening along the back to near the waist or from the neck insertion opening through the chest to the abdomen. There is a one-piece type that has a structure in which a wetsuit is attached and detached by engaging and disengaging fasteners such as fasteners provided in the attachment / detachment opening at the time of attachment / detachment. A two-piece type is generally used, which has a total of two opening / closing openings, one for each. That is, in wetsuits, in addition to the openings for inserting the neck and both hands and feet respectively, attachment / detachment openings for attachment / detachment are required.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, from the perspective of those who wear wetsuits, there is something that fits snugly around your body and fits snugly, just as if you had another skin around your body. It can be said to be ideal. Therefore, it is most preferable to have no fasteners, but on the other hand, the conventional idea was that an opening for attachment and detachment was absolutely necessary to attach and detach the wetsuit. Therefore, as described above, in a structure that has an opening for attachment / detachment in the front or back of the wetsuit, by providing a fastener, it is waterproof to prevent water from entering from the fastener and the seam where the fastener is attached. It was very annoying and difficult to do, as more steps had to be taken. There are also wetsuits provided with waterproof fasteners, but this is not preferable because the fasteners have a large economic burden on the wetsuit body and become expensive as a whole.

[0004] Furthermore, if there are fasteners on the back, the fasteners have the drawback that they interfere with the operation of the diving suit and the cylinder is difficult to carry on the back, and the back is easily damaged. Has the drawback of clogging the clasp and making it difficult to crawl, damaging the abdomen, etc., or damaging the surfboard, while the fastener itself is not elastic, so it does not stretch the wetsuit. However, it is undeniable that it is difficult to move and is uncomfortable. The present invention is intended to address these problems, and as a result of earnest research, it is possible to attach / detach a wetsuit without providing an independent attachment / detachment opening other than the neck and both hands and feet as described below. By developing an ideal wetsuit called ".", We were able to achieve that purpose.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, a knitting fabric (2) which can be piled is attached to the inner surface of a foamable rubber thin plate (1) such as neoprene rubber, and fine piled raised fibers are generated to highly expand in each direction. A pile-like raised fabric that allows expansion and contraction at a certain rate is provided, and a neck insertion opening (3), a hand insertion opening (4, 4) and a neck insertion opening (4) for inserting the neck and both hands and feet respectively using this material. The wet suit (A) has a structure in which only the foot insertion openings (5, 5) are provided and the attachment / detachment openings provided in a normal wetsuit are removed. The wetsuit (A) thus constructed can be attached and detached by expanding the neck insertion opening. The knitted fabric that can be piled as used herein means a stretchable knitted fabric that can be piled by generating pile-like raised hair on the surface described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 38-11189.

[0006]

[Action]

 When the neck insertion opening is expanded, the base material of the wetsuit is a foamable rubber thin plate, so it can be expanded about 5 to 7 times. As the base material expands, the inner surface of the substrate The knitted fabric with a pile-like raised surface that has been subjected to the pile treatment attached to the will also be stretched, and can be expanded to a size that allows the wetsuit to be attached and detached. The expansion of the neck insertion opening does not expand about three times or more, which allows the knitted fabric to expand, so that the foamable rubber thin plate as the base material does not extend too much and break. If the neck insertion opening of the wet suit is stretched about 3 times, for example, if it is a 40 cm neck wetsuit, it will be expanded to about 120 cm and the neck insertion opening will be expanded, so that the buttocks and chest can be easily inserted. You can then put on and take off the wetsuit. As shown in FIG. 3, the stretch of the pile-like raised surface is normally in the state of (a), but at the time of extension, the adhesive part (12) and the base material are as shown in (b) or (c). In both cases, while maintaining the loop shape, only the non-adhesive part (11) breaks the loop shape and expands, and the entire material of the wet suit expands.

[0007]

【effect】

 Since the wetsuit of the present invention as described above is a wetsuit having a structure that has never been considered by common sense, an opening for attachment and detachment is provided at the front or back and a fastener is provided. It is possible to make it highly efficient and easy to make without extra work and to make it highly productive, and at the same time it is very economical with no cost for fasteners and waterproofing means. I was able to.

[0008] Furthermore, since the cylinder does not have a fastener, there is no risk that the cylinder will hurt on the back and hurt the back, or the abdomen will be difficult to crawl and the abdomen will be hurt. There was no sense of incongruity with suppressed movement like the above, and it was possible to make a wetsuit that fits better to the body. Furthermore, it was possible to make a wetsuit with various effects that had never been achieved, which was characterized by being extremely easy to put on and take off.
