Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to holder pants. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, holder pants have been used to hold absorbent pads, such as urine absorption pads and sanitary napkins, between the legs of a wearer. After the absorbent pad has absorbed bodily fluids, the wearer simply replaces the absorbent pad with a new one, and the holder pants themselves can be washed as needed and reused, resulting in cost benefits and a reduced burden on the environment.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses sanitary shorts as holder pants for sanitary napkins, which consist of a front body, a back body, and a crotch cloth portion located between the two, with both the front and back body having a front waistband and a back waistband at the upper waist area. Support shorts are sewn and fixed to the back waistband of these sanitary shorts. The support shorts consist of a back body seam, a front fastening portion, and a straddling portion located between the two. The narrow belt area of ​​the straddling portion of the support shorts has a narrow belt opening extending from the area contacting the perineum to the area contacting the urethral opening, ensuring stable support of the napkin and preventing menstrual blood leakage. The front fastening portion of the support shorts consists of two joining bands to adjust the pressure of the napkin. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2022-000201 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] When conventional holder pants are worn with pants pads or urine absorption pads (hereinafter simply referred to as "urine absorption pads"), they exert strong pressure and fit too tightly to the body, leaving no room in the crotch area to receive urine, making them prone to urine leakage.

[0006] The sanitary shorts described in Patent Document 1 are designed for menstrual blood and are not suitable for urine absorption pads, and are insufficiently effective against urination.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present disclosure is to provide holder pants that can prevent urine leakage. [Means for solving the problem]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Hereinafter, holder pants according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0015] In this specification, "wearing holder pants" refers to the state in which the holder pants are worn on the body, regardless of whether the absorbent pad absorbs body fluids before, during, or after the absorption. Furthermore, "front" refers to the direction that faces the wearer's ventral side when the holder pants are worn, and "rear" refers to the direction that faces the wearer's back. Furthermore, "upper" refers to the direction that faces the wearer's head when the holder pants are worn, and "lower" refers to the direction that faces the wearer's feet. Furthermore, "left-right direction" refers to the left-right direction as seen from a wearer facing forward. Furthermore, "width direction" refers to the direction perpendicular to the front-to-back direction (the direction along the left and right). Furthermore, the "skin side" of each component of the holder pants refers to the direction that faces the wearer's skin when the holder pants are worn, and the "non-skin side" refers to the direction opposite the skin side. Furthermore, "body fluid" refers to liquids excreted from the body to the outside, such as urine, blood, and water in loose stools.

[0016] Fig. 1 is an external view of holder pants according to one embodiment of the present invention when worn. Fig. 2 is an external view showing the holder pants as viewed from the front. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the crotch portion of the holder pants as viewed from the waist opening side. Note that these figures do not stipulate the relative sizes of the components of the holder pants, and the dimensions of each component can be selected appropriately from a wide range depending on the purpose of the holder pants, the age of the intended wearer, etc.

[0017] (Holder Pants) As shown in Fig. 1, the holder pants 10 according to this embodiment are worn with an absorbent pad 100, such as a light incontinence pad, positioned in the crotch area of ​​the wearer. That is, the holder pants 10 are used to hold the absorbent pad 100 in the crotch area of ​​the wearer. After the absorbent pad 100 has absorbed bodily fluids, the wearer can replace only the used absorbent pad 100 with a new absorbent pad 100, allowing the holder pants 10 to be reused. In this way, the holder pants 10 can be reused by washing them as needed, which is cost-effective and reduces the burden on the environment.

[0018] Examples of the absorbent pad 100 to be held by the holder pants 10 include urine absorption pads, light incontinence pads, light incontinence liners, sanitary napkins, etc. The dimensions specified below are values ​​measured in an unstretched state.

[0019] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the holder pants 10 comprise a front body 11 that is positioned on the wearer's stomach side when worn, a back body 12 that is positioned on the back side, and a crotch portion (crotch area) 13 that is positioned under the crotch and connects the front body 11 and the back body 12.

[0020] The front body 11, back body 12, and crotch region 13 of the holder pants 10 are underwear made by knitting yarn material and are stretchable in the vertical, horizontal, and front-to-back directions. Examples of yarn materials that make up the holder pants 10 include synthetic fiber yarns such as polyester, polyamide, polypropylene, and polyacrylonitrile, regenerated fiber yarns such as rayon, cupra, and acetate, as well as spun yarns, processed yarns, and blended yarns obtained from these. Other examples of the yarn materials include, but are not limited to, natural fibers such as cotton, wool, linen, and silk, as well as blended yarns of these fibers.

[0021] The upper edges of the front body 11 and the back body 12 define a waist opening 14 through which the wearer's waist is inserted when worn. The lower edges of the front body 11, the lower edge of the back body 12, and the left and right edges of the crotch section 13 define left and right leg openings 15 through which the wearer's legs are inserted when worn. The waist opening 14 and the left and right leg openings 15 are each stretchable in the circumferential direction. The upper edges of the front body 11 and the back body 12 that define the waist opening 14 may be made of a stretchable waist elastic member that extends circumferentially. Examples of waist elastic members include stretchable woven or nonwoven fabrics containing polyurethane fibers, synthetic rubber sheets, and natural rubber sheets.

[0022] The holder pants 10 according to this embodiment have an opening 16 that is positioned at the center of the width of the crotch portion 13 and extends in the front-to-rear direction, and leg elastic members 17 that are provided on the edges of the left and right leg openings 15.

[0023] (Front) The front body 11 is made of a thin, stretchy fabric. The upper edge of the front body 11 defines the front side of the waist opening 14. Of the lower edge of the front body 11, the central portion in the width direction is connected to the front edge 13a of the crotch section 13, and the opposite side portions in the width direction define the front sides of the left and right leg openings 15. The front body 11 may be made of a single piece of fabric, or may be made by connecting or layering multiple pieces of fabric.

[0024] (Back) The back body 12 is formed from a thin, stretchy fabric. The upper edge of the back body 12 defines the back side of the waist opening 14. The widthwise central portion of the lower edge of the back body 12 is connected to the rear edge 13b of the crotch section 13, and the widthwise opposite portions define the back sides of the left and right leg openings 15. The back body 12 may be formed from a single piece of fabric, or may be formed from multiple pieces of fabric that are joined or layered. The back body 12 and the front body 11 may also be formed from a single, continuous piece of fabric.

[0025] (crotch area) As shown in FIG. 3 , the front edge 13a of the crotch region 13 is curved in a generally arcuate shape, with the widthwise center bulging forward. The rear edge 13b of the crotch region 13 is curved in a generally arcuate shape, with the widthwise center bulging backward. The left and right edge portions of the crotch region 13 are curved so that the front-to-back intermediate portions are concave inward in the widthwise direction. The length L1 of the crotch region 13 in the front-to-back direction is at least 125 mm. In this embodiment, the crotch region located under the crotch serves as the member (crotch region 13) connecting the front body 11 and the back body 12, but this is not limited thereto. For example, the widthwise centers of the lower edges of the front body 11 and the back body 12 may be connected together without providing the crotch region 13. In this case, the portions of the front body 11 and the back body 12 located under the crotch may serve as the crotch region.

[0026] (opening) The crotch portion 13 has an opening 16 extending in the front-to-rear direction. The opening 16 is located at the center of the crotch portion 13 in the width direction. In this embodiment, the opening 16 has a symmetrical trapezoidal shape with a wide front width W1 and a narrow rear width W2 (W1 > W2). "Locating the opening 16 at the center of the crotch portion 13 in the width direction" means that the center position of the opening 16 in the width direction is located at the center position of the crotch portion (crotch area) 13 in the width direction. Furthermore, the opening 16 is located at the center of the crotch portion 13 in the front-to-rear direction. "Locating the opening 16 at the center of the crotch portion 13 in the front-to-rear direction" means that the center position of the opening 16 in the front-to-rear direction is located at the center position of the crotch portion 13 in the front-to-rear direction. In other words, the length L2 from the front end of the crotch portion 13 to the front end of the opening 16 and the length L3 from the rear end of the crotch portion 13 to the rear end of the opening 16 in the front-to-rear direction are the same length (L2 = L3). In this embodiment, the shape of the opening 16 is trapezoidal, but this is not limiting, and various shapes (including linear slits) extending in the front-rear direction can be applied.

[0027] The length L4 in the front-to-back direction of the opening 16 is preferably 125 mm or more. If the length L4 in the front-to-back direction of the opening 16 is made shorter than 125 mm, it becomes difficult to release the pressure of the absorbent pad 100 that has absorbed and swelled with bodily fluids through the opening 16, reducing the amount of water that the absorbent pad 100 can absorb before urine leakage occurs. The upper limit of the length L4 in the front-to-back direction of the opening 16 is preferably equal to or less than the length L1 in the front-to-back direction of the crotch portion 13.

[0028] At the front end portion of the opening 16, the widthwise distance from the left and right leg openings 15 (left and right edge portions of the crotch portion 13) to the opening 16 is preferably 15 mm or more, and more preferably 20 mm or more. The front width W1 of the opening 16 is preferably 18 mm or more and 35 mm or less. The rear width W2 of the opening 16 is preferably 6 mm or more and less than the front width W1. By setting the front width W1 and rear width W2 of the opening 16 within the above ranges, the amount of water absorbed by the absorbent pad 100 before urine leakage occurs can be improved.

[0029] (Elastic material around the legs) The leg elastic members 17 are elastic cords arranged along the edges of the left and right leg openings 15, one on each side. The leg elastic members 17 are arranged around the entire periphery of the left and right leg openings 15 and are fixed to the front body 11, the back body 12, and the crotch region 13. The elastic cords are preferably knitted elastic with a flat elastic band. By using knitted elastic for the leg elastic members 17, the holder pants 10 can be made to be gentle on the skin while tightly tightening the legs and not easily leaving marks from the elastic cords. Furthermore, by forming the knitted elastic from a material such as Lycra (registered trademark) fiber, the holder pants 10 can be made to be highly durable and resistant to deterioration by dry cleaning. In this embodiment, the leg elastic members 17 are arranged on the edges of the left and right leg openings 15, but this is not limited thereto. The leg elastic members 17 may also be arranged inside the edges of the left and right leg openings 15. Furthermore, it is preferable that the leg elastic members 17 are fixed to the front body 11, the back body 12, and the crotch portion 13 in a state of natural length, but this is not limitative.

[0030] (Positional relationship between leg elastic members and openings) The widthwise distance W3 between the outer widthwise ends of the leg elastic members 17 and the opening 16 at the position where the leg elastic members 17 and the opening 16 are closest to each other (hereinafter referred to as the "distance W3 between the leg elastic members 17 and the opening 16") is 30 mm or more and 60 mm or less. In this embodiment, the position where the leg elastic members 17 and the opening 16 are closest to each other is approximately the center of the crotch portion 13 in the front-to-rear direction. If the distance W3 between the leg elastic members 17 and the opening 16 is less than 30 mm, the fabric of the crotch portion 13 will not stretch in the widthwise direction, the opening 16 will not expand in the widthwise direction during use, and it will be difficult to ensure the absorption capacity of the absorbent pad 100. On the other hand, if the distance W3 between the leg elastic member 17 and the opening 16 is made larger than 60 mm, the tightness around the legs will be weaker, making it difficult for the leg elastic member 17 to support both sides of the width of the absorbent pad 100 (for example, the three-dimensional gathered portion), making it more likely that body fluids will leak sideways from the absorbent pad 100.

[0031] (width of leg elastic member) The width X of the leg elastic members 17 is preferably 9 mm or more and 12 mm or less. If the width X of the leg elastic members 17 is smaller than 9 mm, the leg tightness will be weak, and side leakage of bodily fluids from the absorbent pad 100 will be more likely to occur. Even if multiple (e.g., two) leg elastic members 17 with a width X of less than 9 mm are provided on one side to increase leg tightness, arranging the multiple leg elastic members 17 at a distance from each other may disperse the force of the leg elastic members 17, potentially weakening the leg tightness. Arranging multiple leg elastic members 17 at approximately the same position without spacing them from each other may easily leave marks from the rubber cords. On the other hand, if the width X of the leg elastic members 17 is larger than 12 mm, the area of ​​the leg elastic members 17 will be too large, dispersing the force of the leg elastic members 17 and potentially weakening the leg tightness. The width X of the leg elastic members 17 is the length in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the leg elastic members 17 extend, and is the width of the elastic in the case of a knitted elastic, and is the diameter in the case of a round elastic.

[0032] (Elongation stress of leg elastic material) The tensile stress of the leg elastic members 17 is preferably 0.35 N / mm or more and 0.60 N / mm or less. If the tensile stress of the leg elastic members 17 is less than 0.35 N / mm, the leg elastic members 17 will stretch too easily, resulting in a weaker tightness around the legs and increased risk of side leakage of bodily fluids from the absorbent pad 100. On the other hand, if the tensile stress of the leg elastic members 17 is greater than 0.60 N / mm, the leg elastic members 17 will stretch too little, resulting in a strong tightness around the legs and an uncomfortable fit.

[0033] The tensile stress of the leg elastic members 17 is measured as follows. First, the leg elastic members 17 are removed from the support pants 10. The natural length of the leg elastic members 17 in the extension direction is 135 mm. Next, a mark (scale) is made with a marker or the like at the center of the natural length of the leg elastic members 17 so that the length in the extension direction is 100 mm. Next, one end of the leg elastic member 17 is attached to a force gauge, and the other end of the leg elastic member 17 is pulled by hand. The value on the force gauge when the length of the part marked (scaled) at 100 mm reaches 200 mm (double the length) is taken as the tensile stress.

[0034] The holder pants 10 configured as described above have an opening 16 extending in the longitudinal direction in the crotch region 13, so that the pressure of the absorbent pad 100 that has swelled by absorbing bodily fluids can be released through the opening 16. This allows a space to be secured between the wearer's body and the absorbent pad 100, thereby preventing urine leakage.

[0035] In addition, since the leg elastic members 17 are positioned at the edges of the left and right leg openings 15, both sides of the width of the absorbent pad 100 can be firmly supported by the tightening force of the leg elastic members 17, thereby preventing lateral leakage of body fluids from both sides of the width of the absorbent pad 100.

[0036] Furthermore, since one leg elastic member 17 is placed on each edge of the left and right leg openings 15, unlike when multiple members are placed on each side, dispersion of the force of the leg elastic members 17 can be suppressed, and both sides of the width of the absorbent pad 100 can be firmly supported.

[0037] Furthermore, the widthwise separation distance W3 between the leg elastic members 17 and the opening 16 is set to 30 mm or more and 60 mm or less, which allows the fabric of the crotch portion 13 to easily stretch in the widthwise direction, making it easier for the opening 16 to expand in the widthwise direction during use, and also allows the legs to be tightly fastened, providing firm support on both widthwise sides of the absorbent pad 100. This allows the pressure of the absorbent pad 100, which has absorbed and swelled, to be released through the opening 16, ensuring sufficient absorption, and also preventing leakage of body fluids from both widthwise sides of the absorbent pad 100.

[0038] As described above, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide holder pants 10 that can prevent urine leakage.

[0039] Furthermore, it is preferable to position the opening 16 at the center in the width direction and the center in the front-to-back direction of the crotch portion 13. If the opening 16 is positioned closer to the front than the center in the front-to-back direction of the crotch portion 13, there will be no opening on the rear side of the crotch portion 13, and the pressure of the absorbent pad 100 that has absorbed and swelled with bodily fluids will not be able to escape at the rear side, resulting in a decrease in water absorption capacity. On the other hand, if the opening 16 is positioned closer to the rear than the center in the front-to-back direction of the crotch portion 13, there will be no opening on the front side of the crotch portion 13, making it difficult to ensure space between the front side of the crotch, where the urethral opening is located, and the absorbent pad 100, resulting in a decrease in water absorption capacity and increased risk of urine leakage. In the holder pants 10 of this embodiment, the opening 16 is positioned closer to the center in the width direction and the center in the front-to-back direction of the crotch portion 13, ensuring a sufficient absorption capacity and reducing urine leakage.

[0040] Furthermore, by making the length L4 of the opening 16 in the front-to-rear direction 125 mm or more, the pressure of the absorbent pad 100 that has absorbed bodily fluids and swelled can be suitably released through the opening 16. This makes it possible to secure a space between the wearer's body and the absorbent pad 100, thereby preventing urine leakage.

[0041] Furthermore, it is preferable to form the opening 16 in a trapezoidal shape with a wide width W1 at the front and a narrow width W2 at the rear. Because the width W1 of the opening 16 at the front, which is closer to the urethral opening, is wide, the pressure of the absorbent pad 100, which has absorbed bodily fluids and swelled, can be released at the front, which is closer to the urethral opening, ensuring space between the wearer's body and the absorbent pad 100. Furthermore, because the opening 16 is narrower at the rear, it can be tightened toward the body toward the rear, providing adequate support for the absorbent pad 100. This helps prevent urinary leakage.

[0042] Although the present invention has been described above based on the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the content of the above embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the scope of the present invention. In other words, all other embodiments, examples, operational techniques, etc. made by those skilled in the art based on this embodiment are naturally included in the scope of the present invention. [Example]

[0043] The present embodiment will be described in more detail below with reference to examples and comparative examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0044] (Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3) Holder pants of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 described below were produced under the conditions shown in Table 1. Then, a water injection test was carried out on each holder pants to measure the amount of water injected until water leaked from the absorbent pad.

[0045] Example 1 The holder pants of Example 1 were shorts-type holder pants without leg sections that covered the wearer's thighs. A trapezoidal opening with a wider front width was provided at the center of the crotch section of the holder pants in the width direction and the center of the front-to-back direction. The length of the opening in the front-to-back direction was set to 125 mm, the front width to 18 mm, and the rear width to 6 mm. Furthermore, a knitted elastic (flat elastic) with a member width of 9 mm and an elongation stress of 0.51 N / mm (measured by the method described above; the same applies below) was provided on each side of the left and right leg openings as leg elastic members. The leg elastic members used were strong and resistant to stretch (they do not stretch much unless a large force is applied, providing a strong tightening force; the same applies below). The widthwise distance between the outer ends of the leg elastic members and the openings at the positions where the leg elastic members and the openings are closest to each other was set to 30 mm.

[0046] Example 2 The holder pants of Example 2 were shorts-type holder pants with a different crotch width from those of Example 1, and had openings similar to those of Example 1. Furthermore, a knitted elastic (flat elastic) with a member width of 10 mm and an elongation stress of 0.43 N / mm was provided on each side of the edge of each leg opening as leg elastic members. A strong knitted elastic that was resistant to stretching was used as the leg elastic members. The widthwise distance between the outer ends of the leg elastic members and the openings at the positions where the leg elastic members and the openings were closest to each other was set to 45 mm.

[0047] Example 3 The holder pants of Example 3 were shorts-type holder pants with a different crotch width from those of Examples 1 and 2, and had openings similar to those of Example 1. Furthermore, a knitted elastic (flat elastic) with a member width of 12 mm and an elongation stress of 0.37 N / mm was provided on each side of the edge of each leg opening as leg elastic members. A strong knitted elastic that was resistant to stretching was used as the leg elastic members. The widthwise distance between the outer ends of the leg elastic members and the openings at the positions where the leg elastic members and the openings were closest to each other was set to 60 mm.

[0048] (Comparative Example 1) The holder pants of Comparative Example 1 were shorts-type holder pants with a different crotch width from those of Examples 1 to 3, and had openings similar to those of Example 1. Furthermore, a knitted elastic (flat elastic) with a member width of 33 mm and an elongation stress of 0.15 N / mm was provided on each side of the edge of each of the left and right leg openings as leg elastic members. The leg elastic members used were knitted elastic that was easy to stretch but weak (stretches long with little force, and has a weak tightening force; the same applies below). The widthwise distance between the outer ends of the leg elastic members and the openings at the positions where the leg elastic members and the openings were closest to each other was set to 90 mm.

[0049] (Comparative Example 2) The holder pants of Comparative Example 2 were shorts-type holder pants with a different crotch width from those of Examples 1 to 3, and had openings similar to those of Example 1. Two pieces of natural rubber (round rubber) with a member width of 1 mm and an elongation stress of 0.37 N / mm were provided on each side of the edge of the left and right leg openings as leg elastic members. A weak, stretchy knitted rubber was used as the leg elastic members. The widthwise distance between the outer ends of the leg elastic members at the positions closest to the openings was set to 90 mm.

[0050] (Comparative Example 3) The holder pants of Comparative Example 3 were boxer shorts-type holder pants with leg parts that covered the thighs of the wearer. The holder pants had no opening in the crotch area and no leg elastic members in the groin area. In other words, they were ordinary boxer shorts-type holder pants.

[0051] (Test Method) First, the weight of a new absorbent pad before use (before water is poured in) is measured. Next, the absorbent pad is placed in the crotch area of ​​a standing dummy, and the dummy is made to wear holder pants. Next, blue-colored saline is poured into the absorbent pad from a virtual urethral opening located in the crotch area of ​​the dummy at a constant rate (4.6 ml / sec to 5.3 ml / sec). When it is visually confirmed that the saline has leaked from the absorbent pad, the pouring of saline is stopped. After the pouring of saline is stopped, the absorbent pad is removed from the dummy and holder pants, and the weight of the absorbent pad after pouring is measured. The difference between the weight of the absorbent pad after pouring and the weight of a new absorbent pad before use is taken as the amount of water poured in until leakage from the absorbent pad (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "absorption amount"). Note that the method for measuring the amount of water poured in until leakage from the absorbent pad is not limited to the above and may be calculated, for example, by multiplying (water pouring rate) by (time until leakage). The virtual urethral opening of the dummy is located forward of the position directly below the crotch of the dummy, and faces the approximate center between the front end of the crotch part and the center of the crotch part in the front-to-back direction when the holder pants are worn.

[0052] The results are shown in Table 1 and Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a graph showing the amount of water injected before leakage from the absorbent pad when holder pants of the examples and comparative examples were used. In Table 1, the column "Distance to slit (mm)" indicates the "widthwise distance between the opening and the outer edge of the leg elastic member at the position where the leg elastic member and the opening are closest," the column "Width (mm)" indicates the "member width of the leg elastic member," and the column "Stretchability and strength" indicates the "ease (or difficulty) of stretching and tightness (or weakness) of the leg elastic member." The horizontal axis of Fig. 4 shows Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3, and the vertical axis of Fig. 4 shows the amount of water injected before physiological saline solution leaked from the absorbent pad in the above test.

[0053] [Table 1]

[0054] As described above, from Table 1 and FIG. 4, it was confirmed that the present disclosure can provide holder pants that can prevent urine leakage. [Explanation of symbols]
