Heat shock prevention coat

Abstract

The problem of heat shock, which occurs when the body cools down in a cold changing room or bathroom during bathing, causing a sudden increase in blood pressure, and then when entering a warm bathtub, causing a sudden drop in blood pressure, is addressed by providing a cold-weather coat. [Solution] This is a thermal coat for use when moving between a warm room or personal room in the house and the bathroom, instead of using a cold changing room. You wear the thermal coat while keeping your underwear on, and then take off the coat in the bathroom and shower in your underwear. This prevents a sudden rise in blood pressure due to the cold and a sudden drop in blood pressure when entering the bathtub, thus avoiding heat shock. When leaving the bathroom, dry your body with a face towel, put on the thermal coat, and move to a warm room or your own room to change.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an indoor cold-proof coat used for countermeasures against heat shock.

Background Art

[0002] There are almost no indoor cold-proof coats for countermeasures against heat shock. As similar clothing, there are blankets to wear or long cold-proof coats for outdoor wear.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] There is data indicating that tens of thousands of people fall in the bathroom every year. Many of the causes are problems due to sudden fluctuations in blood pressure caused by the temperature difference between the cold changing room or bathroom and the warm bathtub. Also, it is said that the number of people who die from heat shock every year is about twice that of those who die in traffic accidents. (Government Public Relations Online) The present invention provides an indoor cold-proof coat that can easily take countermeasures against heat shock while leaving the changing room and bathroom as they are.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] Instead of using a cold changing room, use the warmest room or personal room in the house as a changing room, and use this indoor cold-proof coat when moving between this room and the bathroom. Make the collar of the coat high and tighten it to prevent the intrusion of outside air, and also tighten the sleeve part of the wrist to prevent the intrusion of outside air. Also, fasten the front with buttons or magic tape to prevent the intrusion of outside air, extend the hem to the ankles, and fasten between both feet with buttons or magic tape to prevent the intrusion of outside air during walking. Also, a type without buttons on the front can be provided.

[0006] Furthermore, as a way to further enhance the effectiveness of preventing heat shock, we suggest that before bathing, you move to the bathroom wearing your undergarments inside this winter coat, and then take a shower while still wearing your undergarments after removing the coat. This will minimize the rise in blood pressure caused by the cold in the bathroom. We also recommend wearing your undergarments when entering the bathtub to prevent falls in the bathroom, "to protect your life." Hang the winter coat you removed in the bathroom in a place where it won't get wet, and wring out your undergarments by hand before putting them in the washing machine. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] The winter coat of this invention has a water-repellent outer layer, and the inner layer uses a combination of winter clothing materials and fabrics that are gentle on the skin after a bath. The collar, wrists, and hem can be tightened to prevent the body from getting cold while moving, allowing for easy transitions between warm rooms and bathrooms. Skin-friendly fabric... soft fabrics such as cotton that do not harm the skin.

[0008] After taking a bath, drying your body with a face towel before leaving the bathroom, putting on a warm coat, and moving to a warm room or your own room to change clothes minimizes sudden fluctuations in blood pressure. Even in cold changing rooms or bathrooms, this single product can be expected to be highly effective in preventing heat shock.

[0009] In addition, while heat shock is relatively common among the elderly, there are also people other than the elderly who hesitate to take a bath on cold winter days due to the cold in the changing room or bathroom. For such people as well, using a warm coat can be effective in eliminating their hesitation to bathe. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 3] a,b Example diagram of a coat hanger designed to prevent heat shock [Figure 4]Example of use of a heat shock prevention coat in the bathroom with a hanger rack. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0011] Figure 2 shows an embodiment of the present invention. In Figure 1, the material of the protective coat uses a towel fabric or thermal fabric on the back of a water-repellent fabric, covering the neck, wrists, and ankles, and fastening the front with buttons or Velcro, with the aim of minimizing contact between the outside air and the skin and preventing the body from getting cold. In the bathroom, it can be folded compactly with a single touch as shown in Figure 3, and hung in a position where it will not get wet as shown in Figure 4.

[0012] Alternatively, all the buttons on the front could be removed, creating a design that can be slipped over the head in a closed state, eliminating the need to fasten buttons.

[0013] Figure 3 shows how to use multiple long and short straps sewn onto the back of a winter coat at arbitrary positions to create a hanger, allowing it to be hung in a dry location. Instead of the hanger rod shown in Figure 4, adhesive or magnetic hanger hooks can also be attached to walls, ceilings, or other surfaces at any desired location.

[0014] Furthermore, the materials can be safely combined with thermal insulation materials and heated innerwear materials. [Explanation of symbols]

Claims

1. A heat shock prevention coat that uses water-repellent material on the outside and cotton or thermal material on the inside, covering the entire neck to minimize gaps, and covering down to the ankles, with the front fastened with buttons or Velcro, or with the front buttonless and closed.
