Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a covering device that is worn around the neck to cover the breasts, etc., when washing the body, for example, in a bath. [Background technology]

[0002] Women who have undergone surgical breast treatment and whose breasts have changed from their original shape may be concerned about others' eyes and hesitate to use public baths. Also, even if they have not undergone surgical treatment, adolescent girls, for example, may feel uncomfortable about others seeing their breasts. While breasts are relatively inconspicuous when soaking in the bath, they may be concerned about the gazes of others when washing themselves or moving around the bathroom.

[0003] In addition, elderly people, sick people, injured people, etc. (hereinafter referred to as "elderly people, etc.") who have difficulty bathing by themselves may ask a caregiver to help them bathe and wash them. In such cases, elderly people, etc. may feel uncomfortable about exposing their breasts or lower abdomen to the caregiver's eyes.

[0004] In response to this, the following Patent Document 1 proposes a swimsuit for hot spring bathing (hereinafter also referred to as Prior Art 1) as a garment for hiding breasts and lower abdomen while bathing. Prior Art 1 is capable of fastening both ends of rectangular or trapezoidal swimsuit fabric or cloth with press fasteners or hooks. By wrapping such Prior Art 1 around the chest or lower abdomen and wearing it, the breasts and lower abdomen can be covered and hidden in the same way as a strapless brassiere or a waist wrap.

[0005] Furthermore, the following Patent Document 2 proposes an apron for washing (hereinafter also referred to as Prior Art 2) in which two pieces of fabric are sewn together on the front and back, and the approximate center of the short side is formed so that the legs can be opened from the middle of the length direction. Prior Art 2 is used by putting the apron around the user's body, passing it around the neck through the above-mentioned part that allows the legs to be opened, so that the end of the opened legs is located in front of the body. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] JP 2020-180397 A [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 6732086 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] However, the above-mentioned conventional techniques 1 and 2 each have the following problems. That is, because the conventional technology 1 has the appearance of a strapless brassiere or a waist wrap, it has a problem of being difficult to use in public baths where swimsuits are not allowed. Even if wearing a swimsuit is not prohibited, many people enter and leave the bathhouse completely naked, so wearing the conventional technology 1 may attract more attention. In addition, Patent Document 1 explains that the conventional technology 1 is removed when washing the body and put on again after washing, and according to this mode of use, the conventional technology 1 does not solve the problem of being concerned about people's gazes when washing the body.

[0008] In contrast, in conventional technology 2, the end of the leg opening is a free end that simply hangs down in front of the user's upper body, so that when washing the body, the user can insert their hands inside from the side of the free end without removing conventional technology 2. However, when wearing conventional technology 2, it looks like a large piece of cloth is worn over the head, and since many people enter and exit the bathhouse completely naked, it gives an uncomfortable feeling to those around and may attract more attention.

[0009] Furthermore, when wearing conventional technology 2, the same fabric is present around the neck as at the end of the leg spread, which causes the problem that shampoo and other foam tends to accumulate around the neck when washing hair, making it difficult to wash off. Furthermore, when taking a bath in a public bath, etc., from a hygienic point of view, it is necessary to remove the prior art 2 from the body so as not to be submerged in the water, and it is necessary to put it back on when getting out of the bath. In that case, it is difficult to remove the wet cloth body without being noticed by people around, and it is also necessary to think carefully about where to place the cloth body when it is removed.

[0010] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems. That is, the object of the present invention is to provide a body washing covering that can cover at least the breasts, is not conspicuous even when used in a public bath, allows the user to wash the body while wearing it, makes it easy to wash away foam that accumulates around the neck when washing hair, and is easy to handle when bathing. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] The body wash covering device of the present invention is an elongated body that is long in one direction, has covering portions on both longitudinal end sides, and has an intermediate portion between the covering portions, and is characterized in that the mesh value of the fabric constituting the intermediate portion is smaller than the mesh value of the fabric constituting the covering portions. Effect of the Invention

[0012] The body-washing covering device of the present invention is long in one direction, so that it can be easily hung around the neck without attracting attention during use. The user of the present invention can wash the body while wearing the body-washing covering device around the neck, and even if shampoo or other foam accumulates around the neck, the coarse-meshed middle part is located just around the neck, so that the foam can be easily washed away. In addition, when entering a bath, the user can wrap the body washing covering of the present invention around his / her head, and when getting out of the bath, he / she can quickly return it to the state where it is hanging around the neck. This series of actions can be associated with the action of wrapping a bath towel around the head and then returning it to the neck, so that people around you are unlikely to notice that you are wearing a covering in a public bath.

[0013] The present invention can at least cover the breasts to prevent them from being exposed to public view, but by appropriately changing the length of the elongated body, it can also cover the lower abdomen. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0014] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a plan view of a body washing covering device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II of the body washing covering device shown in FIG. [Diagram 3] 3A is an explanatory diagram of a state in which a user wears the body wash covering device of the first embodiment, and (3B) is an explanatory diagram of a state in which a user wraps the body wash covering device of the first embodiment around his / her head while taking a bath. [Figure 4] FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram of a state in which a user wears the body wash covering device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In all drawings, the same components are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicated explanations will be omitted as appropriate. First, an outline of the present invention will be described. The body-washing covering device of the present invention is an elongated body that is elongated in one direction. A covering portion capable of covering at least the breast is provided on both ends of the elongated body in the longitudinal direction. An intermediate portion is provided between the one covering portion and the other covering portion. In the present invention, the intermediate portion is made of a fabric having a mesh value smaller than the mesh value of the fabric constituting the covering portion. By hanging the body-washing covering device of the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration around the neck of a user, the intermediate portion can be positioned around the neck of the user and the covering portion can be positioned at a position that covers at least the user's breast. This allows the user to hide her breasts in a bathroom such as a public bath without attracting particular attention.

[0016] In the present invention, the mesh value of the fabric constituting the intermediate part or the covering part refers to the mesh value of the fabric when the fabric constituting each part is one layer (single layer), and refers to the sum of the mesh values ​​of each fabric when the fabric constituting each part is two or more layers (multi-layer). Here, the mesh value is used in the same way as the general definition of mesh value, and specifically refers to the number of fibers (or fiber bundles) per inch (2.54 cm).

[0017] A user who wears the body-washing covering device of the present invention around his / her neck can wash his / her body in that state. Even if shampoo foam accumulates around the neck during hair washing, the middle part arranged around the neck has a smaller mesh value and is made of coarse fabric compared to the covering part, so that the foam can be easily washed away with a shower, etc. On the other hand, the covering part has a relatively larger mesh value and is made of fine fabric, so that the covered body is difficult to see from the outside through the covering part.

[0018] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described using an embodiment in which the middle portion is a mesh portion made of mesh fabric and the covering portion is a covering portion comprising one or more layers of non-mesh fabric.

[0019] First embodiment A first embodiment of the body washing covering device of the present invention will be described below with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3. Fig. 1 is a plan view of the body washing covering device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a II-II end view of the body washing covering device 100 shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3A is an explanatory diagram of a state in which a user 200 wears the body washing covering device 100, and Fig. 3B is an explanatory diagram of a state in which the user 200 wraps the body washing covering device 100 around his head during bathing.

[0020] 1, the body washing covering tool 100 is an elongated body that is elongated in one direction and has a shape that is easy to hang around the neck. In this embodiment, the shape is specifically rectangular in a plan view, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the body may be configured as an elongated body other than a rectangle within the scope of the present invention. The body washing covering device 100 comprises a mesh part 10 made of mesh fabric in the longitudinal middle part, and covering parts 20 provided on both ends of the mesh part 10. The covering part 20 is made of one or more non-mesh fabrics. The mesh value of the mesh fabric constituting the mesh part 10 is smaller than the mesh value of the non-mesh fabric constituting the covering part 20, and the mesh of the fabric is relatively coarse.

[0021] As shown in Fig. 3A, the body washing covering device 100 having the above-mentioned configuration is a long body, so that it can be worn around the neck of the user 200. When worn around the neck, it looks like a towel, so that others are unlikely to notice that the covering device is being worn. In this wearing state, the breasts are covered by the covering portion 20, so the user 200 can avoid exposing the breasts without attracting attention. In addition, the body wash covering device 100 has a mesh portion 10 in the middle of its length, i.e., the portion that fits around the neck, so that shampoo foam and the like that accumulates around the neck can be easily washed away, making the device easy to use.

[0022] Furthermore, when the user 200 is immersed in a bath, he or she can wrap the body washing covering equipment 100 around the head while submerging the body in the bath as shown in Fig. 3B. When getting out of the bath, the user can simply put the body washing covering equipment 100 around the head again. This series of actions is reminiscent of the action of wrapping a towel around the head and then unwrapping the towel, so people around the user are unlikely to notice that the covering equipment is being used.

[0023] The body washing covering equipment 100 of this embodiment is configured so that both ends (ends 40, 40) of the elongated body terminate at the middle of the abdomen when hung around the neck of the user 200, and is suitable for users 200 who wish to avoid exposing their breasts while bathing. In the present invention, the abdomen refers to the area from the epigastrium to the pubic bone of the user 200. The dimensions of the body wash covering tool 100 can be appropriately determined taking into consideration the body shape and age of the user. For example, if the user 200 is an adult woman of average build, the longitudinal dimension is preferably in the range of 90 cm to 125 cm, more preferably 92 cm to 120 cm, and even more preferably 95 cm to 115 cm. If the dimensions are within this range, the breasts can be sufficiently covered and the covering can be easily wrapped around the head when bathing.

[0024] The short-side dimension L3 of the body-washing covering tool 100 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 18 cm to 30 cm, and more preferably 20 cm to 28 cm. If it is within this range, it is possible to sufficiently cover the breasts and not to cause discomfort to people around when wearing it. In addition, by making the short-side dimension smaller than that of a general bath towel, it is easy to wrap around the head as shown in FIG. 3B.

[0025] (Mesh part) The elongated body constituting the body wash covering tool 100 has a mesh portion 10 made of mesh fabric in the middle portion in the longitudinal direction. Here, the mesh fabric is a fabric having a large number of holes formed therein, and is produced, for example, by a tricot knitting machine or a raschel knitting machine.

[0026] In this embodiment, the mesh part 10 is composed of one piece of mesh fabric, but the present invention encompasses mesh part 10 composed of two or more pieces of mesh fabric. By providing mesh part 10 at the part that hangs around the neck, shampoo foam or the like that accumulates around the neck can be easily washed away, and further, the following excellent effects are achieved.

[0027] For example, when a typical bath towel is draped around the neck, the towel tends to gather in the short direction around the neck, which tends to leave drapes on both ends of the towel located in the front of the upper body. Therefore, when a typical bath towel is draped around the neck, part of the breast is likely to be exposed from the towel. On the other hand, in the body washing covering device 100, the mesh fabric constituting the mesh part 10 has a larger mesh size than the non-mesh fabric constituting the covering part 20, so the stiffness of the fabric is relatively weak. Therefore, when the body washing covering device 100 is hung around the neck, the mesh part 10 is likely to gather in the short direction around the neck. The short side 24 of the covering part 20 is not also gathered in the short direction around the neck due to the mesh part 10 gathering in the short direction, but is also likely to spread in the short direction due to the short side 24 of the covering part 20 arranged in an open state in the short direction at the front side of the upper body as shown in FIG. 3A. As a result, the breast of the user 200 can be sufficiently covered without being exposed from the covering part 20. The short side 24 of the covering part 20 here refers to the short side of the covering part 20 closer to the mesh part 10 as shown in FIG. 3A.

[0028] (Covering part) The body washing covering device 100, which is an elongated body, includes a covering part 20 configured with one or more non-mesh fabrics at each end of a mesh part 10 as shown in Fig. 1. The covering part 20 is positioned on the front side of the upper body of the user 200, thereby covering the breasts.

[0029] In the present invention, the non-mesh fabric is a general term for fabrics other than the mesh fabrics described above, and includes woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, and nonwoven fabrics. The non-mesh fabric can be appropriately selected from fabrics made of common fibers such as natural fibers such as cotton, silk, and hemp, and chemical fibers such as polyester and nylon.

[0030] The non-mesh fabric used in the present invention preferably has a mesh value larger than that of the mesh fabric described above, and has a mesh size small enough that the other side cannot be seen when the fabric is unfolded and observed visually from one side under indoor lighting. In the following description, the property of the fabric that the other side cannot be seen from one side is sometimes referred to as non-transparent, and the property that the other side can be seen from one side is sometimes referred to as transparent.

[0031] The covering part 20 may be a single layer made of one piece of fabric, or may be a multi-layer made of two or more layers of fabric. More specifically, the covering part 20 may be made of one non-mesh fabric, or may be a laminate of two or more non-mesh fabrics, or a laminate of at least one non-mesh fabric and a mesh fabric. When the covering part 20 is a multi-layer made of two or more fabrics, the sum of the mesh values ​​of each fabric is adjusted to be larger than the mesh value of the mesh part 10, which is the middle part. From the viewpoint of exhibiting opacity and preventing the body lines from being revealed even when wet, it is preferable that the covering portion 20 be constructed in multiple layers by layering two or more layers of fabric.

[0032] In this embodiment, in order to fully exhibit the property that the body line is not easily revealed even when the body washing covering 100 is wetted while worn on the body, a three-dimensional fabric 25a is used as at least one non-mesh fabric constituting the covering part 20, as shown in Fig. 2. By using a three-dimensional fabric for the covering part 20, it is possible to improve the drainage of water in the covering part 20, and even if the wet body washing covering 100 is hung around the neck for a long time, the neck is not easily burdened, and water is not easily dripped from the body washing covering 100 by simply squeezing it lightly. The effect of reducing the load by drainage and the effect of easily squeezing water can be particularly well exhibited by using a ripple fabric or a textured fabric described later as the three-dimensional fabric 25a. Here, the three-dimensional fabric 25a refers to a fabric having three-dimensionality due to the provision of a relative uneven shape on one side and the other side. Specifically, it refers to a fabric in which a large number of uneven shapes consisting of convex parts 21 provided on one side of the fabric and concave parts 22 provided on the other side opposite to the convex parts are formed in the surface direction of the fabric, and it is preferable that the uneven shapes are formed over the entire surface direction. In view of the purpose of the present invention, it is preferable that the above uneven shapes have dimensions that can be visually confirmed. In addition, FIG. 2 shows an embodiment in which the uneven shape is composed of convex portions 21 with flat convex surfaces and concave portions 22 with flat concave surfaces, but the present invention is not limited to this and includes uneven shapes composed of, for example, bellows-like mountain-shaped convex portions and opposing valley-shaped concave portions.

[0033] The manufacturing method of the three-dimensional fabric 25a is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, a fabric made flat and given an uneven shape by any processing method.Specific examples include ripple fabric that has been subjected to ripple processing and embossed fabric that has been embossed.The ripple processing is a processing method in which a liquid such as caustic soda is applied to a thin woven fabric to shrink it and give the fabric an uneven shape. The three-dimensional fabric 25a may be a fabric that has been given a three-dimensional shape in the process of producing a woven or knitted fabric.Specific examples of such fabrics include waffle fabrics that have an uneven shape given by floating warp and weft threads, honeycomb fabrics with a three-dimensional hexagonal pattern, soccer fabrics made using two or more types of yarns with different shrinkage differences, and pique fabrics that have been given a three-dimensional shape to the surface of the fabric by alternating flat knitting and tuck netting.

[0034] Although the covering part 20 may be a single layer made of one piece of fabric, in this embodiment, the covering part 20 is made of multiple layers, and at least one outermost layer is made of gauze fabric 25b, as shown in Fig. 2. By arranging the covering part 20 so that the gauze fabric 25b abuts against the skin, it is preferable because it provides a good feel against the skin. In particular, as shown in Fig. 2, the body washing covering tool 100 including the covering part 20 including the gauze fabric 25b constituting the outermost layer and the three-dimensional fabric 25a is preferable because it provides a good skin feel when used and, when wet, a layer of fabric (gauze fabric 25b) exists between the skin and the three-dimensional fabric 25a, making the body lines covered by the covering part 20 less noticeable. In this embodiment, the three-dimensional fabric 25a and the gauze fabric 25b constituting the covering part 20 are joined and layered by the sewing part 23 that is sewn together at the outer edge.

[0035] The gauze fabric 25b can be appropriately selected from fabrics generally called gauze, and more specifically, for example, a fabric made of a relatively coarse plain weave using fine cotton threads or the like can be mentioned.

[0036] (Mesh dimension L1 and covering dimension L2) As shown in FIG. 1, in the longitudinal direction of the body wash covering tool 100 in this embodiment, covering parts 20 are arranged on both ends of a mesh part 10 provided as an intermediate part. Here, the dimension L1 of the mesh portion 10 in the longitudinal direction of the elongated body is preferably a length that covers the neck and terminates above the breasts of the user 200, and specifically, for example, is preferably 24 cm or more and 56 cm or less, preferably 35 cm or more and 50 cm or less, and even more preferably 40 cm or more and 48 cm or less.

[0037] In this embodiment, the dimension L2 of each covering part 20 located at both ends of the mesh part 10 is preferably adjusted so that the entire breast can be covered and the longitudinal dimension of the body-washing covering tool 100 is a length that does not feel unnatural compared to a general bath towel. Specifically, in the longitudinal direction of the body-washing covering tool 100, the dimension L2 of one covering part 20 is preferably 20 cm or more and 50 cm or less, more preferably 24 cm or more and 45 cm or less, and even more preferably 28 cm or more and 40 cm or less.

[0038] (Fastening part) In this embodiment, a fastening portion is provided to prevent the body washing covering tool 100 from falling off from the neck during use and to prevent the position of the covering portion 20 from being significantly shifted. 1 and 3, a first fastening portion 31 is provided at an arbitrary position of the body washing covering tool 100, which is an elongated body, and a second fastening portion 32 is provided at a position corresponding to the first fastening portion 31 when the elongated body is folded in half in the longitudinal direction. By fastening the first fastening portion 31 and the second fastening portion 32 together, their positions are fixed, and the wearing state of the body washing covering tool 100 can be stabilized.

[0039] The first fastening portion 31 and the second fastening portion 32 may be any fastening means that can fix the relative positions by fastening them together, and may be appropriately selected from any fastening means such as a hook-and-loop fastener, a hook and eye, a snap button, or a button and buttonhole.

[0040] The positions at which the first fastening portion 31 and the second fastening portion 32 are provided are not particularly limited, but for example, as in this embodiment, it is preferable that they are provided at any position of the covering portion 20. More specifically, the first fastening portion 31 is provided on one side of the first covering portion 20a, and the second fastening portion 32 is provided on the other side of the second covering portion 20b. With such a positional relationship, as shown in FIG. 3A, the first covering portion 20a and the second covering portion 20b can be partially overlapped with one side of each of them facing outward. This allows the breast to be covered more sufficiently, and prevents the first fastening portion 31 and the second fastening portion 32 from being visually observed from the outside. In this embodiment, the fastening portion is provided at one place, but the number of fastening portions may be changed as appropriate.

[0041] (Storage section) The body washing covering device 100 of this embodiment has a storage section consisting of a third fastening section 33 and a fourth fastening section 34 so that it can maintain a compact storage state when not in use. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the third fastening section 33 is a button provided near the longitudinal end of one side of the body washing covering device 100, which is an elongated body, and the fourth fastening section 34 is a ring provided at the longitudinal end of the body washing covering device 100. For example, the body washing covering device 100 is folded in half in the short direction, and the body washing covering device 100 is folded or rolled up from the side where the third fastening section 33 is not provided in such a direction that the third fastening section 33 is exposed to the front side to make it compact, and the third fastening section 33 and the fourth fastening section 34 are fastened together to maintain a compact storage state. The ring is preferably made of an elastic member such as a rubber band. However, the third fastening portion 33 and the fourth fastening portion 34 are not limited to the button and ring described above, and may be anything that can be fastened together to fix the positions of the two, and may be changed to, for example, a hook and loop fastener, a hook, etc. Also, the button of the third fastening portion 33 may be omitted, and the ring of the fourth fastening portion 34 may be made of an elastic cord, and the body washing covering equipment 100 in the stored state may be tied together with the elastic cord to maintain the stored state, or the button of the third fastening portion 33 may be omitted, and one or two cords may be attached as the fourth fastening portion 34, and the body washing covering equipment 100 in the stored state may be tied together with the cord to maintain the stored state.

[0042] Second Embodiment Next, a body wash covering device 110 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which a user 210 wears the body wash covering device 110 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 is configured in the same manner as the first embodiment, except that the longitudinal dimension is designed to be longer than that of the body wash covering device 100 of the first embodiment, and fastening portions each consisting of a first fastening portion 31 and a second fastening portion 32 are provided in multiple locations.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 4, when the body wash covering device 110 of this embodiment is hung around the neck of an adult female (user 210), both ends (ends 40, 40) of the elongated body of the body wash covering device 110 terminate below the abdomen, and when the user is in an upright position as shown in FIG. 4 or sitting on a chair (not shown), the covering portion 20 covers not only the breasts but also the lower abdomen. With this body washing covering device 110, when an elderly person or the like who has difficulty bathing alone asks a caregiver to help them bathe, the chest and lower abdomen can be prevented from being exposed to the caregiver's eyes, thereby reducing the elderly person's resistance to receiving assistance with bathing.

[0044] The preferred dimensions of the mesh portion 10 of the body cleansing covering device 110 are in the same range as those in the first embodiment. On the other hand, the dimension of the covering part 20 in the longitudinal direction of the body washing covering tool 110 is not particularly limited, and it is sufficient that the end part 40 is located below the abdomen of the user 210 at least when sitting on a chair, for example, preferably 35 cm to 70 cm, more preferably 38 cm to 60 cm, and even more preferably 42 cm to 50 cm. The end part 40 of the body washing covering tool 110 preferably terminates below the abdomen of the standing user 210 as shown in Fig. 4, but it is preferable that the end part 40 is located at least below the abdomen of the seated user 210 (not shown) so that the lower abdomen of the user 210 is covered by the covering part 20.

[0045] Although an embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and includes various modifications, improvements, and other aspects as long as the object of the present invention is achieved. For example, in the above embodiment, the middle part is a mesh part made of mesh fabric, and a non-mesh fabric is used for the covering part, but the present invention includes an embodiment in which a relatively weak fabric such as gauze is selected as the fabric for the middle part, and a fabric with a higher mesh value than the fabric for the middle part is selected as the fabric for the covering part. The present invention also includes an embodiment in which a relatively weak fabric such as mesh fabric or gauze is used for the entire elongated body, and further fabric is layered and sewn on both end sides of the elongated body to provide covering parts with a higher mesh value than the middle part. Furthermore, the matters described in the first and second embodiments can also be appropriately referred to in relation to other aspects of the present invention in which the intermediate portion is made of a fabric other than a mesh fabric.
