Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to body-worn articles. More specifically, the present invention relates to body-worn articles that are easy to put on and take off and have different pressing forces on the body according to the part.

Background Art

[0002] For example, there are body-worn articles such as corsets that are worn by wrapping around the body to relieve low back pain. By wearing a corset around the waist, the trunk (torso) can be fixed, and a reasonable posture can be ensured, so that pain in the wearer's waist or the like can be removed. However, for example, a hard corset may cause muscle atrophy when worn for a long time because the muscles that are usually moved are no longer used, and there is a risk of increasing the burden on other muscles.

[0003] In order to address such problems, a technology for corsets that can tighten the waist more firmly is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Also, a technology for medical corsets that aims to stabilize the sacroiliac joint and hip joint parts and prevent excessive burden on the sacroiliac joint part, thereby effectively alleviating low back pain caused by diseases of the sacroiliac joint and hip joint, is known (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

[0004] However, the corset shown in Patent Document 1 has problems in that its structure is complex and time-consuming to manufacture, and it cannot apply abdominal pressure without restricting the movement of the trunk. The medical corset shown in Patent Document 2 has a problem in that although the acupressure tool 71 and the acupressure tool 72 press the side abdomen and the pressing acupressure tool 73 presses the sacrum and the sacroiliac joint part, it only presses the trunk with an equal force. The same applies to cases where not only a corset wrapped around the abdomen but also a part of the body is wrapped around and only a predetermined part is to be pressed with a strong force.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0010] (1) Outline of the Embodiment The body wearing article 1 of the present embodiment includes a main body portion 10, a first end portion 20, a second end portion 30, a connecting means, a first pressing means 60, and a second pressing means 70. The main body portion 10 is formed of an elastic deformable belt-like fabric having a large elongation in the longitudinal direction and can be worn on the body in a ring shape. A first end portion 20 is attached to one end of the main body portion 10 in the longitudinal direction, and a second end portion 30 is attached to the other end of the main body portion 10 in the longitudinal direction. The engaging portion 40 and the engaged portion 50 serving as the connecting means can detachably connect the first end portion 20 and the second end portion 30 to switch the main body portion 10 between a connected state and a released state.

[0011] The first pressing means 60 presses the side of the body in a state where the main body portion 10 is worn on the body in the connected state. The second pressing means 70 presses the side of the body with a stronger force than the first pressing means 60 in the connected state. The body wearing article 1 is worn on the body in a state where the main body portion 10 is elastically deformed, and in the connected state, the second pressing means 70 presses the side of the body with a stronger force than the first pressing means 60, so that abdominal pressure can be applied to the abdomen without restricting the movement of the trunk, and it can be put on and taken off with a simple operation.

[0012] (2) Details of the Embodiment 〔First Embodiment〕 The first embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view (a) and a bottom view (b) of the body wearing article 1 of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the description will be made with the direction of arrow U as the "upward direction" and the direction of arrow D, which is the opposite direction, as the "downward direction". The direction of arrow L, which is one direction orthogonal to the up-and-down direction in the horizontal plane, will be described as the "left direction", and the direction of arrow R, which is the other orthogonal direction, will be described as the "right direction". As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the direction toward the body side will be described as the "inner direction".

[0013] [Body-wearing device 1] The body-wearing device 1 in the first embodiment is a corset that is wound around the body and is a member for reducing low back pain. As shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), the body-wearing device 1 includes a main body portion 10, a first end portion 20, a second end portion 30, an engaging portion 40, and an engaged portion 50. As shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), the body-wearing device 1 is in a strip shape extending left and right and is formed in a rounded rectangular shape with rounded left and right corners. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the body-wearing device 1 is formed to be annular when wound around the body, particularly the torso from the waist to the abdomen.

[0014] [Main body portion 10] The main body portion 10 is a member for winding around the body by forming an annular shape. As shown in FIG. 1, the main body portion 10 is a strip-shaped soft fabric extending left and right and is formed in a substantially rectangular shape. The main body portion 10 is an extremely thin strip, and the thickness is formed to be, for example, 1.5 mm. The first end portion 20 is attached to the left side of the main body portion 10, and the second end portion 30 is attached to the right side. In this example, the first end portion 20 and the second end portion 30 are attached to the main body portion 10 by thermal bonding or sewing.

[0015] The main body portion 10 has very high stretchability in the longitudinal direction (LR direction) and low stretchability in the width direction (UD direction). The main body portion 10 is a first pressing means 60 that has very high stretchability in the longitudinal direction and presses the body with an equal force when elastically deformed and wound around the body.

[0016] Next, the warp 11, the inserted yarn 12, and the weft 13 that constitute the main body portion 10 will be described. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the knitting structure of the main body portion 10. The main body portion 10 has a strip-shaped warp knitting structure formed by the warp 11, the inserted yarn 12, and the weft 13. The warp 11 is a stretchable yarn that forms the stitches of the main body portion 10. The inserted yarn 12 is a stretchable yarn knitted in the longitudinal direction of the warp 11 of the main body portion 10. The weft 13 is a yarn knitted in the width direction of the warp 11 of the main body portion 10.

[0017] The warp thread 11 and the inserted thread 12 are highly elastic threads. For example, they are elastic threads made of any one of polyurethane, latex, elastomer, and natural rubber, or a combination thereof. The weft thread 13 is a low-elasticity thread. For example, it is a thread made of any one of rayon, polyester, nylon, acrylic, and natural fiber, or a combination thereof. The warp thread 11 and the inserted thread 12 are knitted, for example, on a cross stitch warp knitting machine in a state where the elongation rate is set to be 200% or more and less than 500%. That is, the main body part 10 is knitted in a state where a predetermined tension is applied to the warp thread 11 and the inserted thread 12 to cause elastic deformation. Therefore, the main body part 10 is a fabric with uniform longitudinal expansion and contraction, difficult to fray, and high stretchability.

[0018] Next, the main body part 10 manufactured as described above and a conventional product are compared based on Table 1. The main body part 10 uses polyurethane for the warp thread 11 and the inserted thread 12, uses polyester thread for the weft thread 13, sets the elongation rate to be 200% or more and less than 500%, and is manufactured by knitting on a cross stitch warp knitting machine. Power tests were performed on a conventional product made of the same type of thread material as the main body part 10 during elongation and contraction, respectively. The test method was to use a constant speed elongation tensile tester, with a grip interval of 10 cm for the entire width and a tensile speed of 30 cm / min. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0019]

Table 1

[0020] From Table 1, the main body part 10 is a warp knitted fabric that stretches better than the conventional product. For example, when the elongation rate is 80%, the power (tensile force) required during elongation for the conventional product is 15.43 (N), while for the main body part 10 it is 11.18 (N), which is about 70% of the power. For example, when stretched with the same power (15.43 (N)) as the conventional product, the elongation rate of the conventional product is 80%, while the elongation rate of the main body part 10 is 115%, and it stretches more than 1.5 times with the same power.

[0021] Next, the main body 10 and the conventional product are compared based on FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a graph comparing the relationship between the elongation rate and power of the main body 10 and the conventional product. The horizontal axis of the graph is the elongation rate (%) elongation (times), and the vertical axis of the graph is the power (N). According to Table 1 and FIG. 3, for the main body 10, the power when the elongation rate (elongation rate in the longitudinal direction) is 40% is 6.93 (N), and the power when the elongation rate is 80% is 11.18 (N). Therefore, in order to double the elongation rate, the required power is approximately 1.6 times smaller. However, for the conventional product, the power when the elongation rate (elongation rate in the longitudinal direction) is 40% is 6.49 (N), and the power when the elongation rate is 80% is 15.43 (N). Therefore, in order to double the elongation rate, the required power is approximately 2.3 times larger.

[0022] The main body 10 is knitted on a raschel warp knitting machine with the elongation rates of the warp 11 and the inserted yarn 12 set to be 200% or more and less than 500%. The power when the elongation rate (elongation rate in the longitudinal direction) is 50% is 7.96 (N), and the power when the elongation rate is 150% is 20.44 (N). Therefore, although the elongation rate is tripled, the required power is approximately 2.6 times. That is, when the power when the elongation rate (elongation rate in the longitudinal direction) is 50% is N1 and the power when the elongation rate is 150% is N2, N2 is less than 3 times N1.

[0023] The main body 10 has a smaller curve slope compared to the conventional product. When the elongation rate of the main body 10 reaches 200%, the required power is 28.56 (N), and when the elongation rate of the conventional product reaches 120%, the required power is 37.38 (N). From this, it is considered that the main body 10 also requires less power than the conventional product for the power required to maximize the elongation rate. Therefore, for example, when the main body 10 is pulled with a power of 35 (N), the elongation rate of the main body 10 is considered to exceed 200%. The main body 10 can stably produce a fabric with a longitudinal elongation rate of 200% or more in the warp knitted fabric, and can further stably produce a fabric with a longitudinal elongation rate of up to 300%.

[0024] 〔First end portion 20〕 The first end portion 20 is a part for wearing the body-wearing article 1 on the body, and is a part that presses the body when wrapped around the body. As shown in Fig. 1(a), it is formed in a rounded rectangular shape with the left corner rounded. The first end portion 20 has a soft and extremely thin shape, and its thickness is formed, for example, to be 2.0 to 2.5 mm. The main body portion 10 is attached to the right side of the first end portion 20. In this example, the first end portion 20 is attached to the main body portion 10 by thermal adhesion or sewing.

[0025] Since the first end portion 20 has almost no stretchability in both the longitudinal direction and the width direction and its elastic deformation is restricted, when attached to the body, it is pulled from the main body portion 10 and becomes the second pressing means 70 that presses the body. As shown in Fig. 1(a), an engaging portion 40 is attached to the surface of the first end portion 20 as a connecting means for connecting to the second end portion 30. In this example, the engaging portion 40 is attached to the surface of the first end portion 20 by thermal adhesion or sewing.

[0026] 〔Second end portion 30〕 The second end portion 30 is a part for wearing the body-wearing article 1 on the body, and is a part that presses the body when wrapped around the body. As shown in Fig. 1(a), it is formed in a rounded rectangular shape with the right corner rounded. The second end portion 30 has a soft and extremely thin shape, and its thickness is formed to be approximately 2.0 to 2.5 mm. The main body portion 10 is attached to the left side of the second end portion 30. In this example, the second end portion 30 is attached to the main body portion 10 by thermal adhesion or sewing.

[0027] Since the second end portion 30 has almost no stretchability in both the longitudinal direction and the width direction and its elastic deformation is restricted, when attached to the body, it is pulled from the main body portion 10 and becomes the second pressing means 70 that presses the body. As shown in Fig. 1(b), an engaged portion 50 is attached to the back surface of the second end portion 30 as a connecting means for connecting to the second end portion 30. In this example, the engaged portion 50 is attached to the back surface of the second end portion 30 by thermal adhesion or sewing.

[0028] 〔Engaging portion 40〕 FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the looped fiber 41 and the hooked fiber 42 of the engaging portion 40. The engaging portion 40 is a part for fastening to the body when the body-wearing article 1 is worn on the body. As shown in FIG. 1(a), it is formed in a rounded rectangular shape with rounded corners at the left. The engaging portion 40 is a connecting means that can engage when it comes into surface contact with the engaged portion 50. As shown in FIG. 4, the engaging portion 40 is formed by a plurality of looped fibers 41 and a plurality of hooked fibers 42. For example, the engaging portion 40 is formed by knitting a plurality of looped fibers 41 and a plurality of hooked fibers 42.

[0029] The looped fiber 41 is a fiber that catches the hooked fiber 42. The looped fiber 41 is made by twisting two different component substances into one composite fiber and then separating it into single fibers to form a bundle of fine fibers. The looped fiber 41 may be separated by a mechanical process or a chemical process. The looped fiber 41 has a single separated fiber of, for example, 0.097 denier and a diameter of 3.10 - 3.15 μm, and a plurality of loops for the head 43 to catch are formed by the separation. In this example, the looped fiber 41 has, for example, 138,200 loops per square inch.

[0030] The hooked fiber 42 is a fiber that catches on the looped fiber 41. The hooked fiber 42 is formed, for example, by twisting staple fibers so that the tips protrude and then forming a head 43 at the tip. The head 43 of the hooked fiber 42 may be formed by applying heat to the tip or through a chemical process. The hooked fiber 42 has a fiber of, for example, 3.125 denier and a diameter of about 17.8 - 8 μm, and the head 43 is formed in a hook shape, bead shape, mushroom shape, etc., and can be in any shape as long as it catches on the loop of the looped fiber 41. In this example, the hooked fiber 42 has, for example, 96,768 fibers per square inch.

[0031] 〔Engaged Portion 50〕 The engaged part 50 is a part for fastening the body wear 1 to the body when the body wear 1 is worn on the body. As shown in Fig. 1(a), it is formed in a rounded rectangular shape with rounded corners at the left. The engaged part 50 is a connecting means that can be engaged when it comes into surface contact with the engaging part 40. The engaged part 50 is formed by a plurality of fiber loops 41 and a plurality of fiber hooks 42, similar to the engaging part 40.

[0032] Since the engaging part 40 and the engaged part 50 are each formed by a plurality of fiber loops 41 and a plurality of fiber hooks 42, they can be engaged when they come into surface contact. That is, the plurality of fiber hooks 42 of the engaged part 50 are hooked on the plurality of fiber loops 41 of the engaging part 40, and the plurality of fiber hooks 42 of the engaging part 40 are hooked on the plurality of fiber loops 41 of the engaged part 50. Thereby, the engaging part 40 and the engaged part 50 function as a connecting means for detachably connecting the first end part 20 and the second end part 30 and switching the main body part 10 between a connected state and a released state.

[0033] 〔Method of attaching the body wear 1〕 Next, the operation of attaching the body wear 1 configured as described above will be described. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing a state of wearing the body wear 1. In this example, the case where the body wear 1 is worn from above the clothing will be described, but it may be worn directly on the body. As shown in Fig. 5(a), the user places the body wear 1 on the back. At this time, the engaging part 40 is arranged on the front and the engaged part 50 is arranged on the back. Next, as shown in Fig. 5(b), the user pulls the second end part 30, bends the main body part 10, places the second end part 30 on the abdomen, and arranges the engaged part 50 on the front. At this time, since the main body part 10 extends well in the longitudinal direction, the second end part 30 can be arranged with a small force.

[0034] Next, as shown in FIG. 5(c), the user pulls the first end portion 20 to further extend the main body portion 10. At this time, since the main body portion 10 extends well in the longitudinal direction, the main body portion 10 can be extended with a small force. Next, as shown in FIG. 5(d), the user pulls the first end portion 20, bends the main body portion 10, places the first end portion 20 against the abdomen, and brings the engaging portion 40 into contact with the engaged portion 50. At this time, in the body wearing article 1, the plurality of hook-attached fibers 42 of the engaged portion 50 are caught by the plurality of loop-attached fibers 41 of the engaging portion 40, and the plurality of hook-attached fibers 42 of the engaging portion 40 are caught by the plurality of loop-attached fibers 41 of the engaged portion 50. Then, the body wearing article 1 has the main body portion 10 formed in a ring shape and is wound around the body, particularly the trunk from the waist to the abdomen.

[0035] Next, the state of the body with the body wearing article 1 wound around it will be described. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the state of wearing the body wearing article 1. As shown in FIG. 6, when the body wearing article 1 is wound around the trunk, at the location where the main body portion 10 is wound, the main body portion 10 serves as the first pressing means 60 and presses the trunk with a uniform force (arrow α) on the trunk.

[0036] FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view (a) showing the state of not wearing the body wearing article 1 and a cross-sectional view (b) showing the state of wearing the body wearing article 1. As shown in FIG. 7(a), when the body wearing article 1 is not wound around the trunk, the abdominal cavity h hangs downward in the forward and downward directions, and the diaphragm is pulled downward. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7(b), when the body wearing article 1 is wound around the trunk, at the locations where the first end portion 20 and the second end portion 30 are wound, the first end portion 20 and the second end portion 30 serve as the second pressing means 70 and press the abdomen with a force (arrow β) stronger than the force with which the first pressing means 60 presses the trunk. That is, when the body wearing article 1 is worn on the body, the force for pressing the body varies depending on the part.

[0037] As shown in Fig. 7(b), the body-wearing device 1 is wound around the torso, so that the second pressing means 70 presses the abdominal cavity h, expands the abdominal cavity h upward and downward, and pulls up the diaphragm. Then, when the diaphragm is pulled up, the load on the intervertebral disc and the load on the erector spinae muscle group can be reduced. Since the body-wearing device 1 is formed of an extremely thin main body portion 10, a first end portion 20, and a second end portion 30, it is not conspicuous even when worn. For example, when the body-wearing device 1 is worn under clothing, its wearing cannot be seen from the outside.

[0038] Since the body-wearing device 1 is formed of a soft main body portion 10, a first end portion 20, and a second end portion 30, even when worn, it does not cause discomfort to the body, pain to the body, or restrict the movement of the trunk or the movement of the muscles of the body. Since the plurality of looped fibers 41 and the plurality of hooked fibers 42 of the body-wearing device 1 are extremely small and extremely numerous, the engaging portion 40 and the engaged portion 50 can be firmly attached and detached by surface contact. In the body-wearing device 1, not only does the hooked fiber 42 catch on the looped fiber 41, but it is also firmly bonded by the frictional force. Since the plurality of looped fibers 41 and the plurality of hooked fibers 42 of the body-wearing device 1 are extremely small, it is easier to attach and detach compared to a general hook-and-loop fastener. Since the plurality of looped fibers 41 and the plurality of hooked fibers 42 of the body-wearing device 1 are extremely small and soft, other members are not caught and other clothing is not damaged during washing.

[0039] 〔Second Embodiment〕 The second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 8 is a plan view (a) and a bottom view (b) of the body-wearing device 101 according to the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the same parts as those in the first embodiment described above, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

[0040] The body-wearing device 101 of the second embodiment has a restricting member 80 attached to the main body portion 10. The restricting member 80 is a member that restricts the elastic deformation of the main body portion 10, and as shown in Fig. 8(a), it is formed in a rounded rectangular shape with rounded corners. The restricting member 80 has a hard and thin shape and is attached to the main body portion 10 by heat adhesion or sewing. In this example, the restricting member 80 includes a left restricting member 81 disposed slightly to the left of the approximate center of the main body portion 10 and a right restricting member 82 disposed slightly to the right of the approximate center of the main body portion 10. The left restricting member 81 and the right restricting member 82 are arranged parallel to the main body portion 10 so as to be parallel to the back when the user wears the body-wearing device 101.

[0041] The main body portion 10 is partitioned into a central section 14, a left section 15, and a right section 16 by attaching the left restricting member 81 and the right restricting member 82. When the user pulls the first end portion 20 in the leftward direction (arrow L direction), the left section 15 elastically deforms, but the elastic deformation of the central section 14 and the right section 16 is restricted. When the user pulls the second end portion 30 in the rightward direction (arrow R direction), the right section 16 elastically deforms, but the elastic deformation of the central section 14 and the left section 15 is restricted. In this way, due to the arrangement of the left restricting member 81 and the right restricting member 82 on the main body portion 10, the expansion and contraction of the left section 15 and the right section 16 become uniform. Therefore, the expansion and contraction of the main body portion 10 is not unbalanced between the left section 15 and the right section 16. One or more restricting members 80 may be arranged on the main body portion 10.

[0042] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments and can be modified without departing from the object and spirit of the present invention. In this example, the fiber with loop 41 and the fiber with hook 42 are respectively arranged on the engaging portion 40 and the engaged portion 50. However, for example, only the fiber with loop 41 may be arranged on the engaging portion 40 and only the fiber with hook 42 may be arranged on the engaged portion 50, or only the fiber with loop 41 may be arranged on the engaged portion 50 and only the fiber with hook 42 may be arranged on the engaging portion 40.

[0043] In this example, the first end portion 20 is disposed at one end of the main body portion 10 and the engaging portion 40 is attached, and the second end portion 30 is disposed at the other end of the main body portion 10 and the engaged portion 50 is attached. However, without disposing the first end portion 20 and the second end portion 30 on the main body portion 10, the engaging portion 40 may be directly attached to one end of the main body portion 10, and the engaged portion 50 may be directly attached to the other end of the main body portion 10. In this case, the portions of the main body portion 10 where the engaging portion 40 and the engaged portion 50 are directly attached are restricted from elastic deformation.

[0044] In the main body, the body-wearing article 1 is wound around the body, particularly the torso from the waist to the abdomen, but it goes without saying that it may be wound around other places.
