Description

[Technical field]

[0001] One of the problems that men face is inflammation such as itching caused by miliaria that develops on the inner thighs. Since this is caused by sweat remaining on the inner thighs, it may be possible to solve the problem by keeping the amount of remaining sweat to a very small amount, and if this is continued daily, it may be possible to prevent the development of miliaria on the inner thighs. Men's health pants make this possible, and the technical field is aimed at creating them. [Background technology]

[0002] In an attempt to treat the inflammation of miliaria caused by trapped sweat on the inner thighs, many men have applied background art ointments. However, although it does have the effect of giving a temporary feeling of freshness after application, it rarely provides a fundamental solution to completely cure the miliaria.

[0003] As background art, an invention and utility model for men's underwear has been published. The main points described in the prior art document and claim 1 of the present invention are presented below for comparison. Document No. 1

[0004] The gist of claim 1 of (Utility Model Registration No. 3143555) is that "male pants comprising a pants body made of ventilation fabric covering a part of the lower body, which is provided with both a waistband and leg insertion openings, a scrotum pocket also formed in the pants body, a scrotum pocket separation band provided around the scrotum pocket, a penis pocket attached to the periphery of the scrotum pocket opening to receive the penis, a penis pocket separation band provided around the periphery, a parabolic cutout formed in the inner fabric of the penis pocket, and a cutout formed at the central lower end of the inner fabric of the penis pocket to define a lower end opening." In other words, document number 1 is a utility model including a waist band and a scrotal pocket made of ventilating fabric, and therefore document number 1 does not include any description of measures to prevent miliaria occurring on the inner thighs.

[0005] The gist of claim 1 of the present invention is as follows: (A:) "Two hanging cloths are sewn and fixed between the vicinity of the leg insertion opening at the front inside the pants and the vicinity of the lower part of the vertical split opening, and the lower part of the unfixed hanging cloths is joined and sewn to the upper part of the net bag at four points, so that the hanging cloth suspends the net bag, and the suspended net bag is free to move. Sweat-absorbing thick cloth is sewn to the sides of the net bag adjacent to the left and right inner thighs, so that the left and right sweat-absorbing thick cloths can come into contact with the left and right inner thighs, and the scrotum surrounded by the net bag does not come into contact with the left and right inner thighs. The sweat-absorbing thick cloth absorbs the sweat produced by the inner thighs while sleeping, and the amount of sweat remaining on the inner thighs is relatively small. If this continues until the time of awakening, the occurrence of miliaria will be almost nonexistent, and if this state continues day after day, there is a possibility that miliaria can be reliably prevented. Men's health pants characterized by being useful for preventing miliaria from occurring on the inner thighs." In other words, claim 1 of the present invention describes a measure to prevent miliaria that occurs on the inner thighs, and therefore claim 1 of the present invention is clearly different from the utility model of document number 1.

[0006] The gist of claim 1 in document number 2 (Patent Gazette No. 3942867) is as follows: "Left and right patches are provided on the inside of the pants body, the left and right patches are in contact with the pants body at the inside of the front body and the inside of the back body of the pants, the upper edge connecting the end of the patch that is in contact with the inside of the front body of the pants body and the end that is in contact with the inside of the back body of the pants is located directly below the groin of both legs, the height from the lower edge to the upper edge of the patch decreases from the front to the rear, and even at the lowest height it is possible to cover the entire male genitalia, the male genitalia is stored between the left and right patches, separating the male genitalia from the left groin, and the lower part of the male genitalia is open between the left and right patches." In other words, document number 2 is a patent for pants that have a structure in which a patch is placed on the inside of the pants body to separate the male genitalia from the left crotch area, leaving the lower part of the male genitalia exposed between the left and right patches. Therefore, reference number 2 does not include any information on preventing miliaria that occurs on the inner thighs.

[0007] Claim 1 of the present invention is as stated above in (A:). In other words, claim 1 of the present invention describes a measure to prevent miliaria that occurs on the inner thighs, and therefore claim 1 of the present invention is clearly different from the patent of document number 2.

[0008] The gist of claim 1 in document number 3 (Utility Model Registration Gazette No. 3227092) is that "There is a need for pants to prevent frequent urination, which have a structure in which the vertically overlapping portion in the middle of the inside of the pants is fixed only in one horizontal row at the top with a horizontal rubber band, leaving the middle and bottom portions unfixed, and have fabric that is not fixed except at the top, and which does not get in the way when the wearer is using the restroom." That is, document number 3 is a utility model concerning the structure of pants for preventing frequent urination, in which the vertical part in the middle of the inside of the pants is fixed in a horizontal row with an elastic band, the middle and lower parts are left unfixed, and only the upper part is fixed. Therefore, reference number 3 does not include any information on preventing miliaria that occurs on the inner thighs.

[0009] Claim 1 of the present invention is as stated above in (A:). In other words, claim 1 of the present invention describes a measure to prevent miliaria that occurs on the inner thighs, and therefore claim 1 of the present invention is clearly different from the utility model of document number 3.

[0010] The key points of claim 1, which is a Japanese translation of the English document number 4 (U.S. Patent No. 6,105,174 (USA)), include a number of descriptions, including "the creation of a male incontinence bag that is expected to be effective in preventing incontinence in men, an explanation of the effects of the male incontinence bag on the body, and a method of preventing incontinence when wearing pants with the male incontinence bag attached." That is, document number 4 is a U.S. patent that describes the creation of a male incontinence pouch, its use, and a method of treating incontinence. Therefore, reference number 4 does not include any information on measures to prevent miliaria occurring on the inner thighs.

[0011] Claim 1 of the present invention is as stated above in (A:). That is, claim 1 of the present invention describes a measure to prevent miliaria that occurs on the inner thighs, and therefore claim 1 of the present invention is clearly different from the U.S. patent of document number 4.

[0012] The key points of claim 1 in document number 5 (Patent Gazette No. 5452743) are as follows: "A men's underwear body having an opening on the front, a urine receiving body provided inside the opening, the urine receiving body having a lower edge approximately the same width as the upper part of the groin, an upper edge wider than the lower edge, and a height approximately the same as the width from the upper part of the groin to the navel, and a hanging cloth part having an inverted trapezoidal shape, a urine receiving bag containing a urine absorbent is suspended from the lower part of the hanging cloth part with its opening facing inwards, and a vertical slit opening is provided from the upper part of the hanging cloth part to the middle part of the depth of the urine receiving bag." That is, document number 5 is a patent for a structure in which a urine receiving body is provided inside the opening of men's underwear, a hanging cloth part is provided in the shape of an inverted trapezoid, a urine receiving bag containing a urine absorbent is suspended at the bottom of the hanging cloth part with its opening facing inward, and a vertically split opening is provided from near the top of the hanging cloth part to the middle of the depth of the urine receiving bag. Therefore, reference number 5 does not include any information on measures to prevent miliaria occurring on the inner thighs.

[0013] Claim 1 of the present invention is as stated above in (A:). In other words, claim 1 of the present invention describes a measure to prevent miliaria that occurs on the inner thighs, and therefore claim 1 of the present invention is clearly different from the patent of document number 5. [Prior art documents]

[0014] Document No. 1 Utility Model Registration No. 3143555 Document No. 2 Patent No. 3942867 Document No. 3 Utility Model Registration No. 3227092 Document No. 4 U.S. Patent No. 6105174 (USA) Document No. 5 Patent No. 5452743 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0015] The problem that the present invention aims to solve is how to prevent the occurrence of sweating on the inner thighs, which is a concern for men, and how to prevent the occurrence of sweating on the inner thighs associated with it. [Means for solving the problem]

[0016] As a means for solving the above problems, the present invention provides a means for preventing the onset of prickly heat on the inner thighs and preventing the inner thighs from becoming stuffy, as described below.

[0017] {1} Prepare the hanging cloth and net bag fabric. Considering that the hanging cloth and net bag are exposed to stuffiness and moisture inside the pants, a breathable fabric should be selected from among the gauze fabric, sheeting fabric, linen fabric, and broadcloth fabric shown in "1. Materials suitable for the hanging cloth and net bag" in the attached [Figure 4].

[0018] {2} Make and prepare the hanging cloth. Prepare the selected fabric and trace the shape of the hanging cloth with seam allowance onto two pieces of fabric as shown in the attached drawings [Fig. 1] and [Fig. 2]. Once you have finished tracing, use scissors to cut out the hanging cloth with seam allowance according to the shape. Sew together all parts of the two pieces except for the seam allowance to create the hanging cloth. Proceed in the same way to make another hanging cloth so that you have two hanging cloths.

[0019] {3} Make and prepare a net bag. Prepare the selected fabric, trace the shape of the mesh bag onto the fabric as shown in the attached drawings [Figure 1] and [Figure 2], cut out the mesh bag according to the shape with scissors, and then sew together to create a spherical mesh bag with a flat top. This completes the mesh bag.

[0020] {4} Prepare thick sweat-absorbing fabric. Since the role of the sweat-absorbing thick cloth is to absorb sweat generated in the inner thighs, we need to find a fabric that is highly absorbent and hygroscopic. To do this, we need to select and prepare one of the fabrics shown in "2. Materials suitable for sweat-absorbing thick cloth" in the attached drawing [Fig. 4] - cotton fabric, linen fabric, rayon fabric, or wool fabric.

[0021] {5} Make and prepare thick sweat-absorbing cloth. First, the fabric for the thick sweat-absorbing cloth is cut into a large number of small pieces, and these small pieces are then gathered into a mass and crushed (to form a thick mass shaped like a cushion). Proceed in the same way to create another (thick mass in the shape of a zabuton) so that you have two (thick masses in the shape of a zabuton). Secondly, a bag is made to wrap the (thick mass shaped like a zabuton), the (thick mass shaped like a zabuton) is inserted into the bag, and the edges of the bag containing the (thick mass shaped like a zabuton) are sewn together to create a thick sweat-absorbing fabric. Repeat in the same way to make another piece of sweat-absorbing thick cloth, so that two pieces of sweat-absorbing thick cloth are prepared.

[0022] {6} Make and prepare a mesh bag lined with thick sweat-absorbing cloth. As shown in the attached drawings [Fig. 1] and [Fig. 2], find the side position of the mesh bag where the left and right sweat-absorbing thick cloth can come into contact with the left and right inner thighs, and after determining the position of the mesh bag, press the sweat-absorbing thick cloth into place and sew the sweat-absorbing thick cloth and the mesh bag together to create the mesh bag with the sweat-absorbing thick cloth. The mesh bag is then ready.

[0023] {7} The hanging cloth and mesh bag are sewn to the inside of the existing pants to complete the garment. As shown in the attached drawings [Fig. 1] and [Fig. 2], two hanging cloths are sewn and fixed almost parallel to each other between the vicinity of the leg insertion opening at the front of the existing pants and the vicinity of the vertical split opening, and the non-fixed parts of the hanging cloths are sewn together with the upper part of the net bag, so that the hanging cloth suspends the net bag and allows the suspended net bag to move freely. Two pieces of sweat-absorbing thick cloth are sewn together on the two sides of the net bag facing the left and right inner thighs, so that the left and right thick cloths can come into contact with the left and right inner thighs, and the scrotum enclosed in the net bag does not come into contact with the left and right inner thighs. With this configuration, men's health pants are produced.

[0024] The following describes a method for preventing miliaria occurring on the left and right inner thighs according to claim 1 of the present invention.

[0025] When you go to bed wearing men's health pants, your body will warm up after a while, and as you get warmer, your inner thighs will start to sweat. When the user turns over to the right side, the thick right sweat-absorbing fabric comes into close contact with the right inner thigh, absorbing most of the sweat that continues to form in the right inner thigh, leaving only a small amount of sweat remaining on the right inner thigh.

[0026] As time passes, you turn from right to left in your sleep. As you turn, the thick sweat-absorbing fabric on the right side moves slightly away from your right inner thigh, and the thick sweat-absorbing fabric on the left side comes into close contact with your left inner thigh.

[0027] When you roll over to the left side, the left thick sweat-absorbing fabric comes into close contact with your left inner thigh, absorbing most of the sweat that is continuing to form in your right inner thigh, leaving only a small amount of sweat remaining on your left inner thigh.

[0028] Immediately after getting up, take off the men's health pants and wipe off the small amount of sweat remaining on the left and right inner thighs with a towel soaked in warm water. After wiping off the sweat, dry them with a dry towel and clean them before changing into regular pants, and send the men's health pants that have absorbed the sweat to the laundry.

[0029] For men who have suffered from miliaria on the inner thighs, by performing inner thigh care that only takes a few minutes almost every day, the symptoms of miliaria will improve day by day, and may be resolved in as little as one week, or at the latest in about two weeks. Furthermore, people who have asymptomatic miliaria on their inner thighs may be able to maintain a miliaria-free life by performing similar care almost every day. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0030] [Figure 1] A side view of the inside of the pants, with the buttocks on the left and the front abdomen on the right. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a front view of the inner surface of the pants. [Diagram 3] The front view of the user turning over in bed illustrates the difference in the amount of sweat absorbed depending on how strongly the thick sweat-absorbing fabric comes into contact with the inner thighs. Effect of the Invention

[0031] The first effect of the invention is that by simply wearing the men's health pants every day to bed, it is possible to reliably prevent troublesome sweat rash and also to reliably eliminate the uncomfortable stuffiness of the inner thighs, and thus to reliably prevent such troubles that occur in the inner thighs. The second effect of the invention is that people who suffer from inflammation of miliaria may be able to avoid the expense of going to a dermatologist for treatment or the cost of purchasing over-the-counter ointments for free or at a small cost. [Industrial Applicability]

[0032] Men's underwear is a consumable item and a necessity, and therefore most modern men wear them. As a result, the underwear industry has a large sales market and is able to meet consumer demand. However, with most men already owning underwear, it seems difficult to expand sales channels any further, and we believe that further efforts from companies are required. The men's health pants of this invention have the potential to be the explosive that breaks down those high walls. In other words, simply by wearing the men's health pants to bed, one can achieve the original purpose of "wearing" the pants and, furthermore, "possibly prevent the development of miliaria on the inner thighs." In other words, these new type of health pants are expected to "kill two birds with one stone," and so the impact they will have on consumers is likely to be enormous. Therefore, they can be said to be men's health pants that have the potential to provide a new "big market" for the pants industry. [Explanation of symbols]

Claims

[Claim 1] Two hanging cloths are sewn and fixed between the vicinity of the leg insertion opening at the front inside the pants and the vicinity of the lower part of the vertical split opening, and the lower part of the unfixed hanging cloth is joined and sewn to the upper four parts of the net bag, so that the hanging cloth suspends the net bag, and the suspended net bag is free to move. Sweat-absorbing thick cloth with sweat-absorbing properties is sewn to the sides of the net bag adjacent to the left and right inner thighs, so that the left and right sweat-absorbing thick cloths can come into contact with the left and right inner thighs, and the scrotum surrounded by the net bag does not come into contact with the left and right inner thighs. The sweat-absorbing thick cloth absorbs the sweat water that the inner thighs produce while sleeping, and the amount of sweat water remaining on the inner thighs is relatively small. If this continues until the time of awakening, the occurrence of miliaria will be almost nonexistent, and if this state continues day after day, there is a possibility that miliaria can be reliably prevented. These men's health pants are characterized by being useful in preventing miliaria from occurring on the inner thighs.
