Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wearable technology, and in particular to an elastic structure for wearable products and a lightweight incontinence towel. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most common 3D leg warmers on the market use spunbond nonwoven fabric or hot-air nonwoven fabric to directly wrap the elastic band. When worn, this design allows the elastic band to come into close contact with the skin through the nonwoven fabric, and when stretched, it forms a serrated shape, causing friction between the elastic and sensitive skin areas such as the legs during activity, leading to discomfort or even chafing. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new elastic structure that can improve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wearable elastic structure and a lightweight incontinence towel to solve the above problems. The aim is to improve wearing comfort by optimizing the structural design, reducing direct contact between the elastic band and the skin.

[0004] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0005] An elastic structure for wearable products includes an outer covering layer, a cushioning layer, and an elastic element. The outer covering layer forms a closed ring, and the elastic element is wrapped by the cushioning layer to form an elastic member. The elastic member is disposed inside the outer covering layer at a force-bearing location in contact with the wearer's skin. The cushioning layer and the inner wall of the outer covering layer are slidable relative to each other.

[0006] Preferably, the outer covering layer is made of soft non-woven fabric or skin-friendly cotton fabric.

[0007] Preferably, the elastic element is a rubber band or an elastic fiber strip.

[0008] Preferably, the material of the buffer layer is non-woven fabric or cotton fabric.

[0009] Preferably, the elastic element consists of multiple strips, evenly arranged within the buffer layer.

[0010] Preferably, the elastic element and the buffer layer are connected by adhesive.

[0011] Preferably, the buffer layer and the outer covering layer are connected by adhesive.

[0012] Preferably, the buffer layer is a sheet-like structure that wraps around the elastic element, with the interface located on one side.

[0013] A type of incontinence towel incorporates the elastic structure of a wearable product into the incontinence towel's protective layer. The outer covering layer is fixed to the edge of the absorbent layer of the incontinence towel. The outer covering layer material has a hydrostatic pressure resistance of over 100 mmH2O. The elastic element is made of rubber bands with a linear density between 70-800 dtex. The effective length of the rubber bands accounts for 20%-75% of the overall product length, and the spacing between the rubber bands is 1-5 mm. The arched protective layer has a contact area with the human body that accounts for 10%-75%.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. Improved comfort: The hollow tunnel structure design places the contact surface between the skin and the outer covering on a curved surface, reducing friction and thus improving wearing comfort;

[0016] 2. Enhanced fit: The elastic element, with its arched structure design, can better conform to the wearer's body contours, providing stronger support and shaping effect;

[0017] 3. Reduce skin damage: Avoids the jagged edges caused by direct contact between the elastic band and the skin, reducing the risk of skin abrasions due to friction;

[0018] 4. High adaptability: This elastic structure can be widely used in various wearable products such as incontinence napkins, pants, tops and underwear, to meet the needs of different scenarios;

[0019] 5. Structural stability: The elastic element is individually wrapped and attached to the outer covering layer, which enhances the stability and durability of the structure. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: Example 1

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, an elastic structure for wearable products includes an outer covering layer 1, a buffer layer 2, and four elastic elements 3. The outer covering layer 1 forms a closed ring, such as an ellipse or a circle, to form a hollow tunnel-type structure. The elastic elements 3 are located inside the outer covering layer 1 at the stress-bearing position in contact with the wearer's skin 4 and are surrounded by the buffer layer 2. The elastic elements 3 and the buffer layer 2 are connected by adhesive.

[0033] The outer covering layer 1 is made of soft non-woven fabric or skin-friendly cotton fabric to ensure comfortable contact with the skin and can be fixed in the corresponding position according to different application scenarios.

[0034] The elastic element 3 is made of a high-strength, high-elasticity material, and the elastic element 3 is individually wrapped in a soft and wear-resistant buffer layer 2, such as a thin non-woven fabric or silicone layer, to avoid direct contact with the skin. Subsequently, this wrapped elastic element 3 is attached to the inside of the outer covering layer 1.

[0035] The buffer layer 2 is made of soft non-woven fabric or skin-friendly cotton fabric, and can be fixed in the corresponding position according to different application scenarios.

[0036] Since the elastic element 3 is wrapped and attached to the outer covering layer 1, the overall structure presents an arch or arc shape, so that when wearing it, the contact surface between the skin and the three-dimensional protective barrier 156 is always kept on the arc surface. This design effectively reduces the direct contact area between the elastic band and the skin, avoiding discomfort caused by friction.

[0037] The buffer layer 2 and the outer covering layer 1 are not fixed, which ensures that the skin does not slide or rub against the outer covering layer 1 when the user is stationary or active. Only the inner buffer layer 2 and the outer covering layer 1 slide relative to each other. The contact surfaces between the skin and the three-dimensional protective barrier are all on the curved surface and are relatively stationary, effectively avoiding discomfort when wearing it. Example 2

[0038] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the buffer layer 2 and the outer covering layer 1 are connected by adhesive. Example 3

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the buffer layer 2 is finished by a sheet-like structure that wraps around the elastic element 3, with its interface remaining on one side. Example 4

The outer covering layer 1 is fixed to the edge of the absorbent layer of the light incontinence towel 5. The material of the outer covering layer 1 is resistant to hydrostatic pressure of 100mmH2O or more. The elastic element is made of rubber bands. The linear density of the rubber bands is between 70-800dtex. The effective length of the rubber bands accounts for 20%-75% of the overall product. The spacing between the rubber bands is 1-5mm. The contact area between the arched guardrail and the human body accounts for 10%-75%. Example 5

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the elastic structure of the wearable garment in Example 1 is applied to the pants 7, which is suitable for the leg cuffs 9 or waistband pleats 8 of the pants 7. The outer covering layer 1 is integrally formed with the fabric of the pants 7. Example 6

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, the elastic structure of the wearable garment in Example 1 is applied to the top 10, which is suitable for the waist pleats 11 or cuff pleats 12 of the top 10, and the outer covering layer 1 is integrally formed with the fabric of the top 10. Example 7

[0043] like Figure 6 As shown, the elastic structure of the wearable product in Example 1 is applied to the underwear-type sanitary product 13, which is suitable for the guard 15 and waist elastic band 14 of the underwear-type sanitary product 13, and the outer covering layer 1 is fixed to the edge of the sanitary product. Example 8

[0044] An elastic structure for wearable products, the processing method of which is as follows:

[0045] First, cut the outer covering layer 1 material to the appropriate size according to the design requirements;

[0046] Next, lay the buffer layer 2 material at the designated location of the outer covering layer 1 material, ensuring that the buffer layer 2 can completely cover the installation area of ​​the elastic element 3;

[0047] Then, the elastic element 3 is embedded into the buffer layer 2 according to a preset shape (such as an arch), and the elastic element 3 is fixed to the buffer layer 2 by sewing, gluing or other fixing methods;

[0048] Finally, the material of the outer covering layer 1 with elastic element 3 and buffer layer 2 is cut and sewn according to the shape of the wearable item to complete the manufacturing of the entire elastic structure.
