DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0025] Hereinafter, embodiments of the underwear pad and underwear including the same according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0026] <Overall composition of underwear 1> Fig. 1(a) is a front view of underwear 1 according to the present invention, Fig. 1(b) is a view of underwear 1 turned inside out with pad 3 attached, and Fig. 2(a) is a view of underwear 1 turned inside out with pad 3 removed. As shown in Fig. 1(a), underwear 1 of the present invention comprises a private parts covering part 2 arranged on the front so as to cover a man's private parts, a body part 11 (front body part and back body part) connected to both sides of private parts covering part 2 and covering the waist area, a crotch part 12 arranged under the crotch, and further a waist rubber 13 connected to the private parts covering part 2 and the upper side of body part 11.

[0027] The pad 3, which will be described later, can be attached to the inside of the private parts covering part 2. In this embodiment, the private parts covering part 2 is formed of the same material as the body part 11. In addition, the body part 11 in this embodiment is composed of one piece of fabric for the front body and the back body, but is not limited to this, and for example, the entire body part 11 may be composed of two pieces of fabric. Note that the "inside" here means the side that faces the body when the user wears the underwear 1 (the side that faces the pad 3 when the pad 3 is attached), and the "outside" means the side that is exposed to the outside when the underwear 1 is worn. Furthermore, in the following description, the term "upper" means the side that becomes the upper side (the side of the waist rubber 13) when the underwear 1 is worn, and the term "lower" means the side that becomes the lower side (the side of the crotch part 12) when the underwear 1 is worn.

[0028] <Local covering part 2> As shown in FIG. 1(a) and FIG. 2(a), the private parts covering part 2 is composed of a pair of outer fabrics 21a and 21b, and an inner fabric 22 provided on the inside of the outer fabrics 21a and 21b. The outer fabrics 21a and 21b have a certain degree of elasticity, and are cut to form a three-dimensional shape by sewing their sides together at the sewing part 214. The inner fabric 22 also has a certain degree of elasticity, and forms a three-dimensional shape by sewing the left and right fabrics together at the sewing part 221 with dart stitching at the lower center. The private parts covering part 2 is formed to bulge outward from the inside so that a space capable of storing the pad 3 can be formed inside. The three-dimensional shape due to such bulging does not necessarily need to be maintained when the underwear 1 is not worn, and it is sufficient that the inside is recessed and the inside bulges outward when the underwear 1 is worn.

[0029] The local covering part 2 has a linear upper end 211, both side end parts 212 extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the upper end part 211, and a lower end part 213 curved in an arc shape continuing from both side end parts 212. The above-mentioned depression or bulge of the local covering part 2 is formed so that the degree of the depression or bulge becomes greater toward the lower end part 213 side than toward the upper end part 211 side.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 2(a), an attachment portion 24 to which the pad 3 can be attached is provided on the inside of the local covering portion 2. The attachment portion 24 is a sheet-like engaging member having a locking portion or a loop-shaped portion capable of locking the locking portion on the surface facing the pad 3, and in this embodiment, a cloth hook-and-loop fastener is used. The locking portion is not particularly limited as long as it can be locked to the loop-shaped portion, but in the case of a cloth hook-and-loop fastener, it can be formed from a group of hook-shaped or non-hook-shaped fibers. Such a hook-and-loop fastener is preferable because it can be repeatedly attached and detached, does not impair the comfort when worn, and does not make much noise when removed.

[0031] The attachment portion 24 is formed in a generally rectangular quadrangle, and is provided in an upper region of the local covering part 2. In this embodiment, it is formed in a range of approximately 1 / 5 to 1 / 2, more preferably 1 / 4 to 1 / 3, of the height direction of the local covering part 2 downward from the upper end 211 of the local covering part 2. By providing the attachment portion 24 in this limited region on the upper end 211 side of the local covering part 2, it becomes easier to remove the pad 3 and also easier to fine-tune for alignment, compared to when the attachment portion 24 is provided over the entire local covering part 2 and fixed over the entire surface.

[0032] The attached portion 24 is sewn at its upper end 241 and both side ends 242 to the edges (upper end 211, both side ends 212) of the locally covering portion 2, and also at its lower end 243 to the lining fabric 22. In this way, by having the attached portion 24 sewn to the locally covering portion 2 at its upper end 241, both side ends 242, and further at its lower end 243, the attached portion 24 does not float above the locally covering portion 2 when the pad 3 is removed, and the pad 3 can be easily removed.

[0033] Water-repellent tape (binder 23) is sewn to the sewn part between the private parts covering part 2 and the body part 11 on the inside of the underwear 1, wrapping the edges and seams of the private parts covering part 2 and the body part 11 from the front and back. By providing the binder 23 made of water-repellent tape at the sewn part between the private parts covering part 2 and the body part 11 in this way, it is possible to prevent urine from seeping out from the private parts covering part 2 side to the body part 11 side.

[0034] Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the private parts covering part 2 with the pad 3 removed. As shown in Fig. 3, the binder 23 is attached by covering the part where the ends of the fabric are sewn together with a water-repellent tape, so that part is thicker and more rigid than the rest of the body 11, the front fabric 21a, the front fabric 21b, and the back fabric 22. The binder 23 is formed in a strip shape with a surface 231 exposed to the inside of the underwear 1, and inner and outer ends 232a and 232b which are the boundaries between the private parts covering part 2 and the body 11, and both ends 233 of the binder 23 are connected to the waist rubber 13 as shown in Fig. 3.

[0035] The binder 23 is provided lying on the body 11 side near the waist rubber 13, and is connected with its surface 231 approximately parallel to the body 11. In this way, the binder 23 is provided lying on the body 11 side, not on the local covering part 2 side, so that the edges of the binder 23 and the pad 3 do not overlap when the pad 3 is attached, and the thickness of the attachment part can be reduced. In addition, since the binder 23 is bent in an approximately U-shape as a whole, the surface 231 of the binder 23 gradually twists toward the inside of the local covering part 2 as it approaches the bent lower part. Then, near the lowest part of the binder 23, coupled with the approximately U-shaped bend, the surface 231 is further twisted to face upward.

[0036] That is, the binder 23 is formed in a lying state approximately parallel to the body 11 near the portion where the upper part is connected to the waist rubber 13, but as it moves downward, the inner end 232a moves toward the outside of the underwear 1 and the outer end 232b moves toward the inside of the underwear 1, causing a twist in the binder 23. And, because the binder 23 itself has a certain rigidity as described above, it is angled so as to rise up relative to the body 11 below the private parts covering portion 2, thereby forming a bank-like bulge at the boundary between the binder 23 and the body 11. This twist in the binder 23 contributes to maintaining the shape of the private parts covering portion 2, which is approximately flat at the upper part and bulges outward as it moves downward.

[0037] In this way, the binder 23 is twisted so that its surface 231 faces the inside of the local covering part 2, so that when the pad 3 is attached to the local covering part 2, the surface 231 of the binder 23 can support the outer edge of the pad 3 at the lower side of the local covering part 2. In particular, the binder 23 is twisted more strongly as it approaches the lower end 213 of the local covering part 2, so that the protruding height of the bank-like bulge is higher at the lower part than at the upper part of the local covering part 2. As a result, the pad 3, whose upper part is fixed and whose lower part is more likely to swing, is supported by the surface 231 of the binder 23 from both the left and right sides and from below, and can be prevented from being significantly displaced. In addition, at the lowest part of the binder 23, the surface 231 faces almost upward, so that this part can reliably support the pad 3 from below.

[0038] The binder 23 of this embodiment is made of a fabric that has been treated to be water repellent, and is sewn with water repellent thread. As a sewing method, it is preferable to use a flat two-needle sewing machine or a flat three-needle sewing machine, because this makes the seams flat and reduces the discomfort felt when worn.

[0039] The thread used for sewing is not limited to water-repellent thread, but is preferably water-repellent, and suitable examples include polypropylene thread, polyester water-repellent thread, acrylic water-repellent thread, nylon water-repellent thread, acetate water-repellent thread, and ethylene vinyl alcohol water-repellent thread. It is preferable to use water-repellent thread not only for sewing the binder 23, but also for each sewn part of the private parts covering the genitals 2 and the pad 3 of the underwear 1.

[0040] <Pad 3> Fig. 4(a) is a perspective view of the pad 3 according to the present invention seen from the back side, Fig. 4(b) is a perspective view of the pad 3 seen from the front side, and Fig. 4(c) is a cross-sectional view showing the layer structure of the pad 3. The pad 3 is formed so as to be attachable to the inside of the private parts covering the part 2. As shown in the figure, the pad 3 bulges outward from the inside, and has a spoon-shaped recess on the inside capable of containing the male private parts.

[0041] The pad 3 has a linear upper end 301, both side ends 302 extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the upper end 301, and a lower end 303 curved in an arc shape continuing from both side ends 302. The pad 3 is formed in a substantially flat plate shape near the upper end 301, and the central portion bulges out from the back side to the front side as it approaches the lower end 303, and is formed in a substantially dome shape near the arc-shaped lower end 303. The shape of the pad 3 is not limited to that of this embodiment, and for example, the upper end 301 may be formed in an arc shape similar to the lower end 303.

[0042] In this way, the pad 3 is formed in a three-dimensional shape, and dart stitching is provided at the center of the lower part of the front fabric 31 and the back fabric 32 constituting the pad 3 so that the three-dimensional shape can be maintained. The three-dimensional shape of the pad 3 allows it to support the male private parts when worn. The pad 3 is also formed in a shape and size that fits inside the private parts covering part 2 as a whole. Furthermore, both side ends 302 and the lower end 303 of the pad 3 are formed in a shape that fits along the binder 23 when the pad 3 is attached to the underwear 1. The pad 3 itself has lower elasticity than the private parts covering part 2.

[0043] 4(a), the back fabric 32 described below forms wrinkles and pleats on the inside of the pad 3, especially in the lower part formed to be recessed. The cushioning effect of these wrinkles and pleats allows the male private parts to be supported more softly. Also, there is less space between the male private parts, allowing the pad 3 to fit the body better.

[0044] 2(b), above the bulging top 311 of the pad 3, the inner surface 321a faces diagonally downward, and below the top 311, the inner surface 321b faces diagonally upward. In this way, the inner surface 321b below the pad 3 faces upward, so that urine dripping from the male genitals can be received below it.

[0045] Next, the layer structure of the pad 3 will be described with reference to Fig. 4(c). The pad 3 has a waterproof and moisture-permeable front fabric 31 on its front side, and a water-absorbing and dispersing rear fabric 32 on its rear side. A water absorber 33 is provided between the front fabric 31 and the rear fabric 32. An attachment portion 34 (described later) is provided on a portion of the front side of the pad 3 so as to overlap the front fabric 31. The front fabric 31 may be a waterproof fabric that has been treated to be water-repellent.

[0046] For example, a fabric having a waterproof layer formed from a polyurethane sheet having waterproof and moisture permeability can be suitably used as the waterproof front fabric 31. Also, for example, a water-repellent fabric having a surface coated with silicon or fluorine that repels water in the form of beads can be suitably used as the water-repellent front fabric 31.

[0047] In addition, it is preferable to use a material for the back fabric 32 that has excellent moisture absorption and diffusion properties and also has a function of preventing wetness from returning.

[0048] A pile fabric such as cotton having water absorbency can be suitably used for the water absorbent body 33. In addition to natural fibers such as cotton, water absorbent fibers such as regenerated cellulose fibers such as cupra and viscose rayon, and synthetic fibers such as water-absorbent polyester can be used. As the knitted fabric, a weft knitted fabric such as mille knitting or smooth knitting, or even plain knitting, and a warp knitted fabric such as raschel knitting can be suitably used.

[0049] By arranging the fabrics and materials of the pad 3 in this way, urine is quickly absorbed into the water absorbent body 33 via the water-repellent and water-diffusing back fabric 32. The waterproof or water-repellent outer fabric prevents urine from seeping out and thus prevents it from seeping into the private parts covering the area 2.

[0050] Furthermore, an attachment portion 34 is provided on the upper portion of the front side of the pad 3. By attaching this attachment portion 34 to the attached portion 24 of the private parts covering portion 2, the pad 3 can be attached to the underwear 1 in a detachable manner.

[0051] The attachment part 34 is a sheet-like engaging member having a locking part or a loop-shaped part capable of locking the locking part on the surface facing the attached part 24 of the local covering part 2, and in this embodiment, a cloth hook-and-loop fastener is used. The locking part is not particularly limited as long as it can be locked to the loop-shaped part, but in the case of a cloth hook-and-loop fastener, it can be formed from a group of hook-shaped or non-hook-shaped fibers. Such a hook-and-loop fastener is preferable because it does not impair comfort when worn and does not make much noise when removed.

[0052] In this embodiment, the attached portion 24 and the attachment portion 34 use a hook-and-loop fastener made of cloth, but the present invention is not limited to such a hook-and-loop fastener as long as it is a means capable of attaching the pad 3. For example, buttons, snap buttons, adhesive sheets, etc. can be used as other fixing means.

[0053] The mounting portion 34 in this embodiment is formed in a substantially rectangular quadrangle and is provided in a predetermined range from the upper end 301 of the pad 3. In this embodiment, the mounting portion 34 is formed in a range of about 1 / 5 to 1 / 2, more preferably 1 / 4 to 1 / 3, of the height direction of the pad 3 from the upper end 301 of the pad 3. By providing the mounting portion 34 in a limited area on the upper part of the pad 3 in this way, it becomes easier to remove the pad 3 when aligning it, compared to when the mounting portion 34 is provided on the entire pad 3 and fixed on the entire surface. It is preferable that the length of the mounting portion 34 in the height direction is formed to be shorter than the length of the attached portion 24 in the height direction. This increases the degree of freedom of the mounting position in the vertical direction of the pad 3. It is to be noted that, although the mounting portion 34 is provided in a limited area on the upper part of the pad 3 in this embodiment, it may be provided on the entire front side of the pad 3.

[0054] The attachment portion 34 is sewn to the upper end 301 and both side ends 302 of the pad 3 only at its upper end 341 and both side ends 342. That is, the lower end 343 of the attachment portion 34 is not sewn to the pad 3. In addition, at both side ends 342, the front fabric 31 and the back fabric 32 are sewn together at the sewn parts 35. The front fabric 31 is formed to be slightly larger than the back fabric 32. As shown in Figs. 4(a) and 5, the front fabric 31 goes around the edge of the pad 3 and enters the inside of the pad 3. As a result, the sewn parts 35 between the front fabric 31 and the back fabric 32 are positioned closer to the inside of the pad 3, which contributes to improving the waterproofness of the pad 3.

[0055] In this embodiment, the attachment portion 34 is sewn to the pad 3 over the entire length of its upper end portion 341 and both side end portions 342, but the portions sewn to the pad 3 are not limited to this, and for example, only both side end portions 342 may be sewn without sewing the upper end portion 341 and the lower end portion 343. Alternatively, only parts of the upper end portion 341 and both side end portions 342 may be sewn.

[0056] In this way, by sewing the attachment part 34 only to the edge of the pad 3 and not sewing it to the center of the front fabric 31, the seams with the front fabric 31 are kept to a minimum, and urine can be prevented from seeping out from the seams. Furthermore, since the lower end 343 of the attachment part 34 is not sewn, the pad 3 is permitted to move and can follow the movement of the male genitals. Furthermore, when washing, the attachment part 34 can be turned inside out and placed on the back side of the pad 3 when washing (see FIG. 5). By washing the attachment part 34 inside out in this way, it is possible to prevent dirt from adhering to the attachment part 34 during washing.

[0057] When a hook-and-loop fastener is used as the attachment portion 34, it is preferable that the attachment portion 34 is the male side (the locking portion side) and the attached portion 24 is the female side (the loop-shaped portion side). For example, when a pile fabric with a loop-shaped portion is used as the hook-and-loop fastener of the attached portion 24, the fabric is flexible and easily follows the movement of the body, and also feels good against the skin.

[0058] Fig. 2(b) is a cross-sectional view of the underwear 1 with the pad 3 attached. As shown in Fig. 2(b), the pad 3 is fixed to the attached part 24 of the underwear 1 only by the upper attachment part 34, and the other parts are not fixed, so that the pad 3 is suspended within the underwear 1. As a result, it does not follow the private parts covering part 2 and can move independently to a certain extent, so that it can reliably support the male private parts in accordance with their movements. As mentioned above, the lower end part 343 of the attachment part 34 is not sewn and is free, so that the pad 3 is allowed to move accordingly.

[0059] 1(b), the pad 3 is attached so that its peripheral portion fits along the binder 23 provided from both side ends to the lower end of the local covering part 2. In this way, by supporting the peripheral portion with the binder 23, the pad 3 can be prevented from being significantly displaced.

[0060] <How to use underwear 1> Before putting on the underwear 1, the pad 3 is attached to the inside of the private parts covering the genitals 2. If the attachment part 34 and the attached part 24 are formed with hook-and-loop fasteners, the attachment can be performed while adjusting the upper and lower attachment positions as appropriate.

[0061] If there is a spare pad 3, only the pad 3 can be replaced and the underwear 1 can be used as is. After wearing the underwear 1, the pad 3 can be removed and washed separately from the underwear 1. In this case, as described above, it is preferable to turn the attachment part 34 of the pad 3 inside out before washing. To turn the attachment part 34 inside out, insert a finger into the gap between the lower end 343 of the attachment part 34 and the front fabric 31 of the pad 3, hold the vicinity of the upper end 341 of the attachment part 34 with your finger, and pull it out from the gap between the lower end 343 and the pad 3. Then, move the attachment part 34 toward the rear fabric 32 so that the locking part 344 side faces the rear fabric 32 of the pad 3.

[0062] After washing, the underwear 1 body and the pad 3 can be hung out to dry separately, so that both the underwear 1 and the pad 3 can be dried more quickly.

[0063] <Variation 1> 6(a) is a cross-sectional view of a first modified example of the pad 3 according to the present invention. In the pad 3 of the first modified example, the thickness of the water absorbent body 33 is formed to be thicker in a lower portion 332 than in an upper portion 331 of the pad 3.
