Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a treatment gown, and more particularly to a treatment gown that is easy for a person receiving treatment to wear and also easy for a practitioner to temporarily remove when performing treatment. [Background technology]

[0002] In aromatherapy salons, esthetic salons, acupuncture and moxibustion clinics, etc., treatments such as applying oil to the skin of the person being treated and giving a massage are performed. In these cases, out of consideration for the embarrassment of the person being treated, treatment clothes are used that the person being treated wears temporarily.

[0003] On the other hand, in order to perform the treatment smoothly, the treatment clothes are required to have the necessary parts already exposed during the treatment or to allow the practitioner to smoothly expose such parts. In order to meet such requirements, various treatment clothes have been proposed.

[0004] Patent Document 1 discloses an invention relating to a garment for acupuncture and moxibustion treatment that is fastened at two points, the front and the back, by fastening members to make it easy to put on and take off.

[0005] Patent Document 2 discloses an invention relating to a treatment garment in which both shoulder portions of a sleeveless one-piece garment body are formed so as to be separable, and further, the sides are formed so as to be openable and closable.

[0006] Patent Document 3 discloses an invention relating to a surgical garment that is formed in a sleeveless shape that can be worn reversibly and has snap buttons as joining means on both the front and back.

[0007] Patent Document 4 discloses an invention related to a surgical gown that allows easy release of any part of the body. In the invention described in Patent Document 4, the collar can be fastened with a hook-and-loop fastener or the like, and the front body is sewn horizontally at the connecting part.

[0008] Patent Document 5 discloses an invention relating to a partially open surgical garment in which the center of the back panel is fastened with Velcro (registered trademark) etc. The invention described in Patent Document 5 has an area where the Velcro (registered trademark) etc. are densely arranged (non-easy peeling area) and an area where they are not (easy peeling area).

[0009] Patent Document 6 discloses a medical top in which at least one of the two collar and sleeve lines extending from the neckline to the left and right sleeve ends is a separable collar and sleeve line provided with a joining and separating means on a part or all of the way from the neckline to the sleeve ends. The invention described in Patent Document 6 allows the garment to be removed from below the wearer's body, but it is cumbersome to put on and take off because it is necessary to operate a number of joining and separating means.

[0010] However, with these known techniques, although it was possible for the practitioner to manipulate (remove) the treatment gown to expose the required area, there was a problem in that it was not necessarily easy for the patient to put on. Furthermore, in the known techniques, the surgical gown has multiple separate components and the openable / closable parts have a complex structure, which causes the manufacturing cost of the surgical gown to be high.

[0011] For this reason, there is a need for the development of treatment gowns that are easy for patients to wear and can be manufactured inexpensively. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0012] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3132565 [Patent Document 2] JP 2007-016373 A [Patent Document 3] Utility Model Registration No. 3210678 [Patent Document 4] JP 2006-122615 A [Patent Document 5] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-192243 [Patent Document 6] JP 2019-143262 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0013] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned background technology, and its object is to provide a treatment gown that is easy for the patient to operate and wear themselves and that can be manufactured at low cost. [Means for solving the problem]

[0014] As a result of extensive research into solving the above-mentioned problems, the inventors discovered that by making the back of the treatment gown openable and constructing two back pieces that can be overlapped together, and by fastening the two back pieces to a fastening member provided at a position corresponding to the shoulders of the person being treated, it becomes extremely easy for the person being treated to put on the treatment gown and for the practitioner to remove the treatment gown to expose the necessary areas, and thus completed the present invention.

[0015] In other words, the present invention provides a treatment gown to be worn by a person receiving treatment on the back, the back side of which can be opened and, when worn, is constructed so that a second rear body is layered over a first rear body, an attachment member is attached to the upper end of the second rear body, and the attachment member A is attached to the attachment member attached to the first rear body to cover the back of the person receiving treatment. Effect of the Invention

[0016] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a treatment garment that is not only easy for a practitioner to operate (remove) in order to expose the necessary area during treatment, but also easy for a patient to operate and put on by himself / herself, thereby improving the efficiency of treatment.

[0017] In the present invention, the subject can receive treatment without completely removing the treatment clothes, with only the back exposed, so the subject does not feel cold or embarrassed. In addition, in the present invention, the subject is wearing the treatment clothes when he or she steps onto the treatment table, and further, the subject's breasts are not easily visible from the side during treatment, so the subject does not feel embarrassed.

[0018] The treatment gown of the present invention is openable at the back. A possible method for putting on and taking off such a treatment gown with an openable back is to tie it with a string, but tying and untying the string is troublesome. In contrast, the treatment gown of the present invention is attached by an attachment member, so that the work of putting on and taking off can be easily performed. In particular, by making the attachment member a horizontally long hook-and-loop fastener, the treatment gown of the present invention can be worn by patients of various body types, and is highly versatile.

[0019] The treatment gown of the present invention has a simple structure, and a commonly available hook-and-loop fastener (such as Magic Tape (registered trademark)) can be used as the fastening member. Therefore, the treatment gown of the present invention can be manufactured at low cost. Furthermore, the treatment gown of the present invention is extremely easy to maintain, and can be used for a long period of time. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 5] FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the sleeve area of ​​the treatment garment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0021] The present invention will be described below, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and can be practiced in any modified form.

[0022] 1 to 4 show an example of the treatment garment 1 of the present invention. The treatment garment 1 of the present invention is worn by a person receiving treatment when the person receives treatment on the back. "Treatment on the back" includes, for example, treatments such as applying oil to the back of the person receiving treatment or massaging the back. When performing treatment on the back, the person being treated needs to remove (or move aside) the clothing from the upper half of their body, so the treatment garment of the present invention is used to prevent the person being treated from feeling embarrassed during the waiting time, the time it takes to move from the changing area to the treatment area, the time it takes to get on the treatment table and receive the treatment on the required area, etc., and also to keep them warm.

[0023] The treatment gown 1 is used for performing treatment on the back, and therefore the back side is openable so that the practitioner can operate it (remove it) as necessary. The treatment gown 1 of the present invention has a back body divided into two parts, and when worn, the second back body part 12 is layered over the first back body part 11 (FIG. 4). On the other hand, since the front side is not related to treatment, in the treatment garment 1 of the present invention, the front body 10 is not openable (it does not need to be openable) (FIG. 3).

[0024] The treatment garment 1 of the present invention has an attachment member 14 attached to the upper end portion 12x of the second back body 12, and by engaging the attachment member 14 with an attachment member 15 attached to the first back body 11, it is designed to cover the back of the person being treated (Figures 1, 2, and 4).

[0025] The treatment garment 1 of the present invention is used for performing treatment on the back (or the back). While waiting to receive treatment, the person to be treated takes off (or moves aside) the clothes on his / her upper body and then puts on the treatment garment 1. The treatment gown 1 of the present invention can be worn with the fastening members 14, 15 already fastened, and in fact it is easier to wear it in this manner.

[0026] The fastening members 14, 15 may be fastened to the patient after putting on the treatment garment 1; however, when the treatment garment is put on, the fastening members 14, 15 will be located near the patient's shoulders, making it difficult for the patient to operate the fastening members 14, 15 after putting on the garment, and may require the help of another person to fasten the fastening members 14, 15.

[0027] During treatment, the patient wears the treatment garment 1 and lies face down on the treatment table. When performing a treatment on the back, the practitioner can release the back of the person to be treated by releasing the engagement of the fastening members 14 and 15, and perform the treatment. In the treatment garment 1 of the present invention, the fastening members 14 and 15 are located near the shoulders of the person to be treated. This position makes it easy for the practitioner to release the engagement, and by using the treatment garment 1 of the present invention, the treatment can be performed smoothly.

[0028] The "upper tip portion 12x of the second rear body 12" refers to the angular portion of the second rear body 12 shown in Fig. 2. An attachment member 14 is attached to the upper tip portion 12x, and when worn, the attachment member 14 is attached to an attachment member 15 attached to the first rear body 11, so that the back of the person to be treated is covered by the first rear body 11 and the second rear body 12.

[0029] There is no particular limitation on the position of fastening member 15 installed on first back body piece 11, but it is preferable that fastening member 15 be installed at a position on first back body piece 11 such that the state in which fastening member 14 and fastening member 15 are engaged with each other does not appear unnatural. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, when the patient wears the treatment garment 1, the fastening members 14 and 15 are positioned near the shoulders of the patient.

[0030] There is no particular limitation on the method for fastening the first back body piece 11 and the second back body piece 12 using the fastening members 14 and 15, and methods using hook-and-loop fasteners, snap buttons, toggle buttons, two-hole or four-hole buttons, etc. can be used.

[0031] Since the treatment garment 1 of the present invention is intended to temporarily cover the back of the person being treated during treatment, the two fastening members 14, 15 do not need to be able to be firmly fastened; rather, it is desirable that the fastening state can be easily released so that the practitioner can easily operate it. For this reason, it is particularly preferable that the fastening members 14 and 15 in the treatment garment 1 of the present invention are hook-and-loop fasteners. There are cases where the fastening members 14 are hook-and-loop side fasteners and the fastening members 15 are loop-and-loop side fasteners, and cases where the fastening members 14 are loop-and-loop side fasteners and the fastening members 15 are hook-and-loop side fasteners, but either is acceptable.

[0032] When the fastening members 14, 15 are hook-and-loop fasteners, the hook-and-loop fasteners preferably have a shape elongated in the horizontal direction as shown in Figures 1, 2, and 4. Specific examples of a "shape elongated in the horizontal direction" include a rectangle, an ellipse, and a roughly rectangular shape (a rectangle with rounded corners).

[0033] Since the treatment garment 1 of the present invention is intended to temporarily cover the back of the person to be treated (the practitioner releases the hook-and-loop fasteners when performing treatment), it is not necessary for the two hook-and-loop fasteners (fastening members 14, 15) to completely overlap each other when the treatment garment 1 of the present invention is worn, and it is acceptable for only a portion of the hook-and-loop fasteners to overlap each other, as shown in Fig. 4. If the hook-and-loop fasteners (fastening members 14, 15) have a shape long in the horizontal direction, the position where the hook-and-loop fasteners overlap (engage) can be adjusted to suit the body shape of the person to be treated, which is preferable from the viewpoint of versatility.

[0034] When the hook-and-loop fastener is long in the horizontal direction, the horizontal length is preferably 3 cm or more, more preferably 4 cm or more, and particularly preferably 5 cm or more, and is preferably 20 cm or less, more preferably 18 cm or less, and particularly preferably 15 cm or less. When the length is within the above range, it is easy to achieve both versatility and cost.

[0035] Methods for attaching the hook-and-loop fastener to the fabric constituting the first back body 11 and the second back body 12 include, but are not limited to, sewing by a sewing machine, hand sewing, etc.; heat pressing using an iron, etc.; adhesion using double-sided tape, adhesive, etc. Since the treatment gown 1 of the present invention is usually washed repeatedly before use, it is preferable to attach the hook-and-loop fastener by sewing in order to prevent it from falling off.

[0036] In the treatment gown 1 of the present invention, the fabric constituting the front body 10 and the fabric constituting the first back body 11 (or the second back body 12) are sewn together to form sleeves 13.

[0037] There is no particular limitation on the shape of sleeve portion 13, but as shown in Figs. 3 to 5, sleeve portion 13 is preferably a French sleeve (there is no transition between the body and the sleeve, and the sleeve is cut out directly from the body). When the sleeve portion 13 is a French sleeve, it becomes easier for the patient to put on the treatment garment 1 with the fastening members 14, 15 already fastened, and the cost of the fabric can be saved.

[0038] It is not outside the scope of the present invention if the sleeves 13 are in the shape of normal long sleeves, three-quarter sleeves, five-quarter sleeves, short sleeves, etc. However, since the treatment garment 1 of the present invention is worn temporarily by the person being treated, it is not necessary for the sleeves 13 to fully cover the arms of the person being treated (if the purpose is to keep warm, a separate jacket can be worn), and there is little need for the sleeves to have such a shape.

[0039] The sleeve portion 13, which is a French sleeve, has an upper sleeve portion 13a, an under sleeve portion 13b, and a cuff portion 13c, as shown in Fig. 5. At the upper sleeve portion 13a and the under sleeve portion 13b, the fabric constituting the front body portion 10 and the fabric constituting the first back body portion 11 (or the second back body portion 12) are sewn together. However, the sleeve underpart 13b may not be present in the treatment gown 1 of the present invention. That is, the part where the garment transitions from the body may not be sewn at all, and the entire part may be the sleeve opening 13c.

[0040] The length of the sleeve upper portion 13a is preferably 20 cm or more, and more preferably 23 cm or more, and is preferably 40 cm or less, and more preferably 37 cm or less.

[0041] The length of the sleeve lower portion 13b is preferably 10 cm or less, more preferably 5 cm or less, even more preferably 2 cm or less, and particularly preferably 0 cm.

[0042] The length of the cuff 13c is preferably 20 cm or more, and more preferably 23 cm or more, and is preferably 40 cm or less, and more preferably 37 cm or less.

[0043] When the length of the sleeve upper portion 13a is taken as 1, the length of the cuff portion 13c is preferably 0.85 or more, more preferably 0.9 or more, and particularly preferably 0.95 or more. Also, it is preferably 1.15 or less, more preferably 1.1 or more, and particularly preferably 1.05 or less.

[0044] When the lengths and ratios of the upper sleeve portion 13a, the lower sleeve portion 13b, and the cuff portion 13c are within the above-mentioned ranges, it becomes easier for the patient to wear the treatment garment 1 with the fastening members 14, 15 already attached, and it also becomes easier for the practitioner to release the fastening members 14, 15, remove the treatment garment 1, and begin treatment.

[0045] The treatment gown 1 illustrated in Figs. 1 to 4 is a type that covers only the upper body, but the treatment gown of the present invention may be a one-piece type that covers the upper and lower body as a whole. In addition, the treatment gown 1 illustrated in Figures 1 to 4 is designed so that the attachment members 14, 15 are attached near the right shoulder of the person being treated when worn, but the left and right positional relationship may be reversed (the attachment members 14, 15 may be attached near the left shoulder of the person being treated when worn).

[0046] There is no particular limitation on the material from which the treatment gown 1 is made, and examples thereof include polyester, nylon, urethane, rayon, cotton, wool, silk, and the like. Of these, polyester is particularly preferred in terms of cost, availability, durability, etc.

[0047] The present invention also relates to a pattern for producing the above-mentioned surgical gown. There are no particular limitations on the material or thickness of the pattern, provided that it can be used to make the surgical gown. [Industrial Applicability]

[0048] The treatment gown of the present invention is easy to put on and take off, inexpensive to manufacture, and easy to maintain, and therefore can be widely used for back treatment in aromatherapy salons, beauty salons, acupuncture clinics, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
