Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to shorts. [Background technology]

[0002] Sanitary napkins used for purposes such as absorbing menstrual blood are provided with a pair of wing portions that protrude outwardly from the left and right longitudinal edges of the napkin body.

[0003] To attach a sanitary napkin to shorts, the adhesive portion on the outer surface of the napkin body is placed against the inside of the crotch cloth of the shorts body and attached, and the wing portion is folded back toward the outer surface at the edge of the leg opening of the crotch cloth, and the adhesive portion on the outer surface of the wing portion is attached to the outer surface of the crotch cloth.

[0004] Taking into consideration the unsightly appearance of the wings of the sanitary napkin exposed on the outside of the shorts, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses sanitary shorts in which a waterproof cloth is placed on the inner side of the crotch cloth and the sanitary napkin is attached to the waterproof cloth.

[0005] In the above-mentioned shorts equipped with a waterproof cloth, the wing portion of the sanitary napkin is placed on the inner side of the waterproof cloth (the side opposite the crotch cloth) and is folded over and attached to the crotch cloth side of the waterproof cloth. This allows each wing of the sanitary napkin to be positioned between the crotch fabric and the waterproof fabric, and allows the wing to be neatly placed without being exposed outside the shorts.

[0006] Furthermore, as shown in Patent Document 2, shorts have been proposed in which an inner crotch cloth is overlapped with the crotch cloth of the shorts body, and a narrow stretch tape is placed between the inner crotch cloth and the crotch cloth in the front-to-back crotch direction, passing through the center of the crotch width direction.

[0007] In addition, the waterproof cloth shown in Patent Document 1 and the inner crotch cloth shown in Patent Document 2 are fixed to the crotch cloth only at their front and rear ends in the crotch front-rear direction. Therefore, the inner crotch cloth is easily displaced by the wearer's movements, and the displacement of the waterproof cloth or the inner crotch cloth causes the sanitary napkin to become misaligned.

[0008] In consideration of the above-mentioned problems, Patent Document 3 shows shorts in which the inner crotch cloth is attached to the shorts body at the front and rear ends in the crotch front and rear direction, and at least a part of the center line of the inner crotch cloth is attached to the crotch cloth, and both left and right side edges of the inner crotch cloth are left free and not connected to the shorts body.

[0009] Furthermore, Patent Document 3 also discloses that the inner crotch fabric is made of a knitted or woven fabric that is stretchable at least in the longitudinal direction, and that the contraction force is increased near both the left and right edges and in the area along the longitudinal center line. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0010] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3002607 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3047126 [Patent Document 3] Patent No. 3372510 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0011] The device disclosed in Patent Document 3, as described above, is intended to prevent the waterproof fabric and the inner crotch fabric from shifting relative to the crotch fabric and moving from their corresponding positions on the body when the winged sanitary napkin is attached, by attaching the inner crotch fabric to the crotch fabric at at least part of its center line.

[0012] However, the portions where the crotch cloth and the inner crotch cloth facing each other sandwich the wing portions of the sanitary napkin are fixed at the front and rear edges in the crotch front-to-back direction and only at the joining position of the center line portion. Therefore, the portion where the wing portion is folded and attached and the inner crotch cloth around this portion still tend to shift relative to the crotch cloth due to the wearer's movements.

[0013] Specifically, the adhesive that attaches the wing portions to the outer surface of the inner crotch fabric (the surface facing the crotch fabric) has an adhesive strength that allows the wing portions to be peeled off from the inner crotch fabric by hand, but the adhesive strength is adjusted so that the wing portions will not separate from the inner crotch fabric unless the wearer voluntarily attempts to peel them off. Therefore, if the inner crotch cloth is displaced in the direction of the joining surface relative to the crotch cloth, the sanitary napkin may be displaced from its position corresponding to the body.

[0014] In view of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to prevent the inner crotch cloth from shifting in the contact direction with the crotch cloth at the area where the opposing surfaces of the inner crotch cloth, which is attached by folding the wing portions of the sanitary napkin, are in direct contact with the crotch cloth, and to provide shorts that have an anti-slip function that prevents the attached sanitary napkin from shifting from its position corresponding to the body, and an anti-wrinkling function that prevents the fabric from overlapping and joining. [Means for solving the problem]

[0015] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems, and provides a method for making a pair of shorts in which an inner crotch cloth is overlapped on the inner side of the crotch cloth of the shorts body. The inner crotch cloth is fixed to the crotch cloth at front and rear ends in the crotch front-rear direction, The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by providing shorts in which the opposing surfaces of the inner crotch cloth and the crotch cloth are joined in a detachable manner.

[0016] In the present invention, it is preferable that the inner crotch cloth and the crotch cloth are incapable of relative movement in the direction of their joined surfaces when their opposing surfaces are in contact with each other. Effect of the Invention

[0017] According to the present invention, even if the wing portion of an absorbent such as a sanitary napkin attached to the inner crotch cloth is located on the outer surface of the inner crotch cloth, the inner crotch cloth and the crotch cloth can be directly joined around the area where the wing portion overlaps, thereby preventing the problem of the crotch cloth separating from the area where the wing portion of the inner crotch cloth overlaps.

[0018] As a result, a wide area can be maintained in the crotch portion of the shorts where the inner crotch cloth and the crotch cloth are joined together, and the joining of the two pieces of cloth maintains the shape of the crotch portion, so that the inner crotch cloth does not shift relative to the crotch cloth due to the wearer's movements, twisting of the crotch portion is prevented, and the absorbent can be kept in the correct position relative to the body.

[0019] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the opposing surfaces of the inner crotch cloth and the crotch cloth are in contact and unable to move relative to each other in the direction of the joining surfaces, so even when the wing portions are folded in and the absorbent body is attached, the overlapping state between the inner crotch cloth and the crotch cloth does not change, and the absorbent body does not shift from its position corresponding to the body. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Figure 4]10A to 10C are explanatory diagrams showing examples of arrangement patterns of parts that are joined so as to be able to be attached and detached; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0021] Next, the present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a pair of shorts to which an absorbent body can be attached for absorbing liquids discharged from the body, such as menstrual blood, secreted mucus, and urine. As shown in Fig. 1, the shorts body 2 of the shorts 1 is connected to the left and right sides of the front body 3 and the back body 4 to form a continuous waistline, and a crotch 5 is disposed between the lower part of the front body 3 and the lower part of the back body 4. This crotch 5 is connected to the front and back body 3 and 4 in the crotch front and rear directions, and left and right leg opening edges 6 are formed from the lower side edges of the front body 3 through the side edges of the crotch 5 to the lower side edges of the back body 4.

[0022] (Inseam) The crotch 5 of the shorts body 2 is formed from a crotch cloth 7, and the crotch 5 portion having the crotch cloth 7 is designed to prevent a sanitary napkin, which is a type of absorbent body, from shifting relative to the body.

[0023] In the shorts 1, an inner crotch cloth 8 for attaching a sanitary napkin is superimposed on the inner side of the crotch cloth 7, and the inner crotch cloth 8 is fixed to the crotch cloth 7 by sewing at the positions of the front end 9 and the rear end 10 in the front-to-back direction of the crotch 5.

[0024] (crotch cloth) The crotch cloth 7 of the shorts body 2 onto which the inner crotch cloth 8 is overlapped is composed of a base fabric 12 made of a fabric material that is continuous with the fabric material 11 of the front body 3 and the back body 4 as shown in Figure 2, and is overlapped on the inner surface of the base fabric 12 on the shorts body 2 (the surface that will become the inner crotch cloth 8 side), and is composed of a hook-and-loop fastener material 13 made of a raised fabric, for example, with the pile tips sheared (shirring) on ​​the inner crotch cloth 8 side.

[0025] The base fabric 12 and the hook-and-loop fastener material 13 of the crotch cloth 7 are connected by sewing at the front end 9 and the rear end 10, and the sides are connected by sewing at positions along the leg opening edges 6. In Fig. 2, the reference symbol 6a denotes a pico rubber.

[0026] (Inner crotch cloth) In addition, the inner crotch cloth 8 is composed of a base fabric 14 made of the same fabric material as the fabric material 11 of the front body 3 and the back body 4, as shown in Figure 2, and a hook-and-loop fastener material 15 made of pile fabric that is superimposed on the outer surface of the base fabric 14 on the shorts body 2, i.e., the surface on the crotch cloth 7 side, and has a loop on the crotch cloth 7 side.

[0027] The base fabric 14 and the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 15 of the inner crotch fabric 8 are connected by sewing at the front end 9 and the back end 10, as in the case of the crotch fabric 7 described above, and the edges of the inner crotch fabric 8 are connected by sewing.

[0028] The raised fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 13 of the crotch cloth 7 and the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 15 of the inner crotch cloth 8 are soft fabric materials which are joined to each other so as to be able to be separated from each other at their opposing surfaces. The crotch cloth 7 is arranged so that the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 13 faces the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 15 of the inner crotch cloth 8, and the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 15 of the inner crotch cloth 8 is arranged on the side of the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 13 of the crotch cloth 7, so that the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 13 and the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 15, which are the opposing surfaces of the crotch cloth 7 and the inner crotch cloth 8, are joined together over their entire surfaces so as to be able to be brought into contact with and separated from each other.

[0029] (Installation of sanitary napkins) When attaching a sanitary napkin 16 to shorts 1, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the sanitary napkin 16 is placed on the inner surface (base fabric 14) of the inner crotch cloth 8, and the napkin body 17 is attached with an adhesive (adhesive tape) 18 applied to the napkin body 17.

[0030] Also, the wing parts 19 extending outward from the left and right sides of the napkin body 17 are folded over the outer surface of the inner crotch cloth 8, i.e., the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 15, and then the wing parts 19 are attached to the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 15 with the adhesive 20 applied to the wing parts 19.

[0031] In this manner, the sanitary napkin 16 is attached to the inner crotch cloth 8. After the sanitary napkin 16 has been attached to the inner crotch cloth 8 as described above, it is overlapped with the crotch cloth 7.

[0032] In the present shorts 1, the entire opposing surfaces of the crotch cloth 7 and the inner crotch cloth 8 are joined so that they can be separated from each other. Therefore, when the crotch cloth 7 and the inner crotch cloth 8 are brought together, the raised fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 13 of the crotch cloth 7 and the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 15 of the inner crotch cloth 8 are joined at the surfaces that directly face each other, including the area around where the wing portions 19 overlap.

[0033] The bonding strength between the raised fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 13 and the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 15 is such that the crotch cloth 7 and the inner crotch cloth 8 will not separate naturally unless a person voluntarily performs an operation to pull them apart.

[0034] In the areas where the crotch cloth 7 and the inner crotch cloth 8 directly face each other, including around the area where the wing portions 19 overlap, they do not naturally separate in the out-of-plane direction of the joining surface (the direction in which the crotch cloth 7 and the inner crotch cloth 8 open up), but remain joined under the above-mentioned joining force.

[0035] Furthermore, the overlapping portion of the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 15 with the napped fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 13 is not joined because of the presence of the wing portion 19. However, since the piled fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 13 and the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 15 are joined around the overlapping portion of the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 15 with the wing portion 19, there is no problem in that the overlapping portion of the inner crotch cloth 8 with the wing portion 19 of the inner crotch cloth 8 moves freely on its own due to a separation between the inner crotch cloth 7 and the overlapping portion.

[0036] As described above, the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 13 of the crotch cloth 7 and the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 15 of the inner crotch cloth 8 are joined together detachably by a joining force that does not naturally move in the out-of-plane direction, which is the direction in which the opposing surfaces open up and move away from each other when they are overlapped. Of course, the hook-and-loop fastener material 13 made of raised fabric of the crotch cloth 7 and the hook-and-loop fastener material 15 made of pile fabric of the inner crotch cloth 8 are joined together detachably by a joining force that does not naturally move in the joining surface direction (in-plane direction of the joining surfaces) when overlapped.

[0037] When the napped hook-and-loop fastener material 13 of the crotch cloth 7 and the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 15 of the inner crotch cloth 8 are overlapped and joined, the joining force is set such that both materials 13, 15 cannot move relative to each other even in the joining surface direction, and since the napped hook-and-loop fastener material 13 and the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 15 are overlapped with this joining force, the inner crotch cloth 8 does not shift independently with respect to the crotch cloth 7.

[0038] Furthermore, as with the explanation of the inability to move in the out-of-plane direction, the overlapping portion of wing portion 19 of pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 15 and pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 13 are not joined because wing portion 19 is present, but since pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 13 and pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 15 are joined around the overlapping portion of wing portion 19 of pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 15, there is no problem such as the overlapping portion of wing portion 19 of inner crotch cloth 8 shifting independently.

[0039] Therefore, even if the wearer moves while wearing the shorts 1 with the sanitary napkin 16 attached, the overlapping state between the crotch cloth 7 and the inner crotch cloth 8 does not change, and the sanitary napkin 16 attached to the shorts 1 does not shift from its position corresponding to the body.

[0040] In the embodiment, the crotch cloth 7 is described as being made of a base fabric 12 and a hook-and-loop fastener material 13 made of raised fabric overlapped together, and the inner crotch cloth 8 is described as being made of a base fabric 14 and a hook-and-loop fastener material 15 made of pile fabric overlapped together, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

[0041] In addition, the configuration in which the entire opposing surfaces of the crotch cloth 7 and the inner crotch cloth 8 are joined so as to be able to be separated from each other has been described by citing the point that the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 13 on the crotch cloth 7 side and the pile fabric hook-and-loop fastener material 15 on the inner crotch cloth 8 side are joined so as to be able to be peeled away, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

[0042] Furthermore, when putting on the present shorts 1, the crotch cloth 7 and the inner crotch cloth 8 are separated, and the inner crotch cloth 8 to which the sanitary napkin 16 is attached is first placed against the body and adjusted to fit the shape of the body. Then, the entire shorts 1 is put on and the crotch cloth 7 is overlapped and joined to the inner crotch cloth 8, so that a three-dimensional shape that fits the shape of the body is formed in the crotch 5 part of the sanitary shorts 1, which improves adhesion and prevents twisting, making it easier to maintain a tight fit.

[0043] This improves the fit of the shorts to the body without compromising the wearing comfort, and also improves the fit of the attached sanitary napkin to the body. The above-mentioned crotch cloth 7 and inner crotch cloth 8 are overlapped without moving relative to each other, thereby maintaining the sanitary napkin in a position corresponding to the corresponding part of the body, and by overlapping and joining the crotch cloths after placing the inner crotch cloth against the body when worn, etc., twisting in the crotch area is suppressed and the sanitary napkin can be more easily adapted to its corresponding position on the body, which has the effect of preventing menstrual blood leakage.

[0044] Although an embodiment of the absorbent body has been described using a sanitary napkin as an example, the present invention is not limited to this example, and incontinence prevention products such as urine absorption pads having the above-mentioned wing portions can also be attached to the shorts as an absorbent body.

[0045] In the above example, the crotch cloth 7 and the inner crotch cloth 8 are configured to be detachably joined over the entire opposing surfaces when overlapped, but the detachably joined portion is not limited to being formed over the entire area of ​​the opposing surfaces. For example, as shown in Fig. 4, a hook and loop fastener material 13 made of raised fabric is provided over the entire inner side of the crotch cloth 7, and a hook and loop fastener material 15 made of pile fabric is arranged in a pattern in the inner crotch cloth 8, so that the detachably joined areas 21 of the opposing surfaces are arranged in a repeated pattern at regular intervals, thereby partially providing the areas 21.

[0046] In addition, in order to make it easier to find a finger grip when opening the gap between the crotch cloth 7 and the inner crotch cloth 8, it is also possible to form an area where the crotch cloth 7 and the inner crotch cloth 8 are partially non-jointed, for example along the side edge of the inner crotch cloth 8.
