Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to injection-compatible clothing that allows injections to be administered while the wearer is still wearing the clothing. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, syringes have been used to inject medicines for the treatment or prevention of illness, draw blood, etc. When administering an injection, the recipient, such as a patient, is required to roll up their sleeves or take off their clothes.

[0003] Diabetic patients need to replenish their insulin preparations with syringes as needed. However, due to the duration of insulin action, injections are currently required frequently. Therefore, rolling up sleeves or removing clothes every time an injection is administered is extremely time-consuming, making injections less quick and convenient.

[0004] Patent Document 1 discloses clothing that has zippers on the sleeves, allowing the person receiving an injection to expose their skin while wearing the clothing and receive an injection. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-180311 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, the clothing described in Patent Document 1 requires the zipper to be opened and closed to expose the skin, which not only requires time and effort when administering an injection, but also has the problem of making the structure of the clothing complex due to the zipper.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention provides injection-compatible clothing that has a simple structure and allows the skin to be easily exposed during an injection.

[0008] An injection-compatible garment according to one aspect of the present invention comprises a garment body that can be worn by a user, and the garment body has a plurality of slits formed at intervals that penetrate the garment body and through which an injection needle can be inserted.

[0009] In the injection-compatible garment, the distance between adjacent slits may be 10 mm or more and 50 mm or less.

[0010] In the injection-compatible garment, the slit may have a length of 20 mm or more and 100 mm or less.

[0011] In the injection-compatible garment, three or more of the slits may be formed adjacent to each other with an interval of 10 mm or more and 50 mm or less.

[0012] In the above-mentioned injection-compatible garment, the garment body may include at least a body portion that can be worn by the user on the upper body, and may have a main body portion having an opening, and a blocking portion that closes the opening and forms the slit.

[0013] In the injection-compatible garment, the closure portion may have a different color and / or pattern than the main body portion.

[0014] In the above-mentioned injection-compatible garment, the closure portion comprises a plurality of sheet-like members provided in the opening, aligned in a direction intersecting the direction in which the slit extends, and formed of a flexible material, and the slit may be a gap between the plurality of sheet-like members.

[0015] In the injection-compatible garment, each of the sheet-like members may be in the shape of a band with the slit extending in the longitudinal direction.

[0016] In the above-mentioned injection-compatible garment, adjacent sheet-like members may have different colors and / or patterns.

[0017] In the injection-compatible garment, adjacent sheet-like members may be arranged to partially overlap each other in the intersecting direction when viewed from the outer surface of the garment body.

[0018] In the injection-compatible garment, the overlap amount between the sheet-shaped members in the cross direction may be 5 mm or more and 40 mm or less.

[0019] In the injection-compatible garment, the main body may have, as the opening, a body opening provided on the front side of the body portion at a position corresponding to the abdomen of the user.

[0020] In the above-mentioned injection-compatible garment, the main body portion further includes a sleeve portion continuous with the body portion, and the main body portion may have a sleeve opening provided in the sleeve portion at a position corresponding to the user's arm as the opening.

[0021] In the above-mentioned injection-compatible garment, the main body further includes sleeve portions continuous with the body portion, and the main body has as the openings a body opening provided on the front side of the body portion at a position corresponding to the abdomen of the user, and sleeve openings provided on the sleeve portions at positions corresponding to the arms of the user, and when the main body is viewed from the front side, the body opening may be formed on one of the left and right sides based on the center of the left and right sides of the main body, and the sleeve openings may be formed on the other of the left and right sides. [Effects of the Invention]

[0022] The above-described injection-compatible clothing has a simple structure and allows the skin to be easily exposed when an injection is given. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 3] 1A and 1B are enlarged views of the closure portion of the injection-compatible garment, where (a) shows the normal state when no injection is being performed, and (b) shows the state when an injection is being performed. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0024] (Overall composition) The following describes an injection-compatible garment 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the concept of "injection" in this embodiment also includes the actions of "infusion," "vaccination," and "blood collection." The injection-compatible garment 100 is a garment that allows a user (injection recipient) to insert the needle of a syringe S into their skin while wearing it. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the injection-compatible garment 100 includes a garment body 1 that is made up of a main body 2 worn by the user and a blocking part 3 that blocks openings 2x and 2y formed in the main body 2.

[0025] (Main body) The main body 2 is, for example, a jacket such as a shirt made of white fabric. The main body 2 includes a body portion 10 that can be worn by a user around the upper body and a pair of sleeve portions 11 that are continuous with the body portion 10. The main body 2 has a body opening 2x provided in the front portion (front body) of the body portion 10 at a position corresponding to the user's abdomen, and sleeve openings 2y provided in the sleeve portions 11 at positions corresponding to the user's arms. When the main body 2 is viewed from the front, the body opening 2x is formed on either the left or right side of an imaginary line O in the horizontal center of the main body 2, and the sleeve opening 2y is formed in the sleeve portion 11 on the other side. For example, if the user is right-handed, when the main body 2 is viewed from the front, the body opening 2x is formed on the left side (the right side as seen from the user) of the imaginary line O in the horizontal center of the main body 2, and the sleeve opening 2y is formed in the sleeve portion 11 on the right side (the left side as seen from the user) of the imaginary line O.

[0026] In this embodiment, when the main body portion 2 is viewed from the front side, the body opening 2x has a rectangular shape formed by a horizontal side 2a that runs along the left-right direction of the clothing body 1 and a vertical side 2b that intersects (approximately perpendicular to) the horizontal side 2a and runs along the up-down direction of the clothing body 1, and penetrates the main body portion 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, the sleeve opening 2y is formed in the upper half of the sleeve portion 11 at a position corresponding to the upper arm of the user. The sleeve opening 2y has a rectangular shape formed by a vertical side 2c along the extension direction of the sleeve portion 11 and a horizontal side 2d intersecting (substantially perpendicular to) the vertical side 2c, and penetrates the main body.

[0028] (Occluded part) The closure portions 3 are provided at the body opening 2x and the sleeve openings 2y, respectively, and close these openings 2x, 2y. Here, "closure" means a state in which the inside of the garment body 1 (e.g., underwear or the wearer's skin) is not visible or is barely visible when viewed from the outer surface of the garment body 1 when no external force is acting on the closure portions 3. Each closure portion 3 is provided with a plurality of sheet-like members 20 formed of a flexible material such as fiber (in this embodiment, 99% cotton, 1% cupra). Each of the sheet-like members 20 has a rectangular band shape.

[0029] In the body opening 2x, each sheet-like member 20 is aligned at an angle relative to the horizontal side 2a and vertical side 2b of the body opening 2x. In this embodiment, each sheet-like member 20 in the body opening 2x is aligned so as to extend downward at an angle to one of the left and right sides (in this embodiment, the left side, which is the same side as the left side on which the body opening 2x is located) when the garment body 1 is viewed from the front. Furthermore, these sheet-like members 20 are aligned approximately parallel to the direction in which the horizontal side 2a of the body opening 2x extends, i.e., the left-right direction (crossing direction) of the garment body 1.

[0030] Similarly, in the sleeve opening 2y, the sheet-like members 20 are arranged at an angle relative to the vertical side 2c and the horizontal side 2d. In this embodiment, the sheet-like members 20 provided in the sleeve opening 2y are arranged so as to extend in the left-right direction of the garment body 1 when the garment body 1 is worn and viewed from above.

[0031] As shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), in the body opening 2x and the sleeve openings 2y, the sheet-like members 20 are arranged so that they partially overlap in the left-right direction of the garment body 1 when viewed from the outer surface of the garment body 1 (see overlapping region OA). More specifically, when viewed from the outer surface of the garment body 1, one of the sheet-like members 20 adjacent in the left-right direction of the garment body 1 is arranged so that the front surface of the other sheet-like member 20 partially overlaps the back surface of the other sheet-like member 20. In the body opening 2x of this embodiment, when viewed from the front of the garment body 1, multiple sheet-like members 20 are stacked so that, for example, the sheet-like member 20 located on the right overlaps the back side of the sheet-like member 20 located on the left. Although not shown, in the sleeve openings 2y, multiple sheet-like members 20 are stacked so that, when viewed from above, the sheet-like member 20 located on the back overlaps the front side of the sheet-like member 20 located on the front.

[0032] Adjacent sheet-like members 20 have different colors. In this embodiment, sheet-like members 20 of two different colors (for example, orange and yellow) are arranged alternately. In this embodiment, the main body 2 and the sheet-like members 20 also have different colors. As described above, the main body 2 is formed of, for example, white fibers, and the blocking portion 3 made up of multiple sheet-like members 20 has a different color from the main body 2.

[0033] (slit) In the body opening 2x, both longitudinal ends of each sheet-like member 20 are sewn to the main body portion 2 only at positions where they intersect with the vertical sides 2b and the horizontal sides 2a, thereby connecting the sheet-like members 20 to the main body portion 2. Therefore, in the body opening 2x, slits 30 are formed in the gaps between adjacent sheet-like members 20. Similarly, in the sleeve opening 2y, slits 30 are formed in the gaps between adjacent sheet-like members 20.

[0034] Therefore, a plurality of slits 30 are formed at intervals from one another, penetrating the garment body 1 in each of the body opening 2x and the sleeve openings 2y, extending in the longitudinal direction of the sheet-like member 20. In this embodiment, two or more sheet-like members 20 are provided in each of the body opening 2x and the sleeve openings 2y, so that three or more slits 30 are formed in each of the body opening 2x and the sleeve openings 2y. As shown in FIG. 3(b), the slits 30 allow the user's skin H to be exposed, and the needle of a syringe S can be inserted into the slit. More specifically, at least a portion of adjacent sheet-like members 20 is moved away from one another to open the slits 30, and the needle is inserted into the slit 30.

[0035] The distance between adjacent slits 30 is preferably 10 mm or more and 50 mm or less. The length of the slits 30 (the length along the longitudinal direction of the sheet-shaped member 20) is preferably 20 mm or more and 100 mm or less, and more preferably 40 mm or more and 100 mm or less. In this embodiment, the average length of all slits 30 that allow easy injection is 78 mm. Furthermore, the overlap amount between adjacent slits 30 is preferably 5 mm or more and 40 mm or less. In this embodiment, the dimension in the width direction intersecting (perpendicular to) the longitudinal direction of the sheet-shaped member 20 is 33 mm, and the overlap amount (the width dimension of the overlap region OA) is 10 mm or more and 20 mm or less, averaging approximately 13 mm. Therefore, the distance between adjacent slits 30 in this embodiment is 13 mm or more and 23 mm or less, averaging approximately 20 mm.

[0036] (Action and effect) According to the injection-compatible garment 100 of the present embodiment described above, the manufacturing cost can be reduced by using a simple structure in which the slit 30 is formed in the garment body 1, and the skin H can be easily exposed through the slit 30. As a result, the user can give an injection while wearing the injection-compatible garment 100, which reduces the effort required for injection.

[0037] Furthermore, providing multiple slits 30 provides a wider range of injection position options. Therefore, for example, when frequent injections, such as insulin injections, are required, the injection position can be changed as needed, making the device extremely user-friendly. The spacing between slits 30 is preferably between 10 mm and 50 mm, and preferably three or more slits 30 are arranged side by side, allowing injections to be made at different positions each time simply by inserting the needle into a different slit 30. Furthermore, if the length of the slit 30 is preferably between 20 mm and 100 mm, it is possible to inject at different positions within the same slit 30, even in cases where injections are made more frequently.

[0038] The slits 30 are formed by the blocking portion 3 that blocks the openings 2x and 2y of the main body portion 2. Specifically, the gaps between the sheet-like members 20 that make up the blocking portion 3 and the gaps between the openings 2x and 2y and the sheet-like members 20 form the slits 30. Therefore, by arranging multiple sheet-like members 20 in the openings 2x and 2y of the main body portion 2, the slits 30 can be easily formed in the main body portion 2. Furthermore, compared to forming the slits 30 directly in the main body portion 2, forming the slits 30 by providing a blocking portion 3 that is a separate member from the main body portion 2 makes it easier to visually grasp the position of the slits 30 and identify the injection position. In particular, if the main body portion 2 and the blocking portion 3 have different colors, as in this embodiment, the position of the slits 30 can be visually identified even more easily.

[0039] Furthermore, since adjacent sheet-like members 20 have different colors, not only does it become easier to visually identify the position of the slits 30, but the design is also improved, so that the injection-compatible garment 100 can be worn in everyday life without any discomfort, further improving the usability of the injection-compatible garment 100.

[0040] Furthermore, since the sheet-like member 20 is in the shape of a strip, it is easy to move the sheet-like member 20 and the slit 30 can be easily opened wide, making it easy to expose the user's skin H and facilitating injection.

[0041] Furthermore, the sheet-like members 20 are arranged to overlap each other partially, and if the amount of overlap is preferably 5 mm or more and 40 mm or less, even if the position of the sheet-like member 20 changes when the user changes their posture or during exercise, unexpected exposure of the skin H can be avoided, and heat retention can be ensured.

[0042] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0043] For example, the openings 2x, 2y and the blocking portion 3 of the main body portion 2 are not essential, and the slit 30 may be formed directly in the main body portion 2.

[0044] The garment body 1 may also be made up of only the body portion 10 without the sleeve portions 11. The shape of the clothing body 1 is not particularly limited as long as it can be worn by a user. 。

[0045] The position of the slit 30, i.e., the position and number of the openings 2x and 2y in the main body 2, are not particularly limited as long as they are provided in a position where an injection can be performed. That is, the position and number of the openings 2x and 2y can be appropriately selected depending on the type of injection. Therefore, the body opening 2x and the sleeve openings 2y may be located on the same left and right side.

[0046] Furthermore, the colors of adjacent sheet-like members 20 do not necessarily have to be different from each other, and all of the sheet-like members 20 may have the same color. Furthermore, the closure portion 3 formed by multiple sheet-like members 20 does not necessarily have to be different in color from the main body portion 2. Furthermore, the patterns of adjacent sheet-like members 20 may be different from each other, or the colors and patterns may be different. Similarly, the patterns of the closure portion 3 and the main body portion 2 may be different, or the colors and patterns may be different.

[0047] Adjacent sheet-like members 20 do not have to overlap each other. That is, the sheet-like members 20 may be arranged side by side in the left-right direction of the garment body 1 with the slit 30 between them. [Industrial Applicability]

[0048] The injection-compatible garment of the present invention has a simple structure and allows the skin to be easily exposed during an injection. [Explanation of symbols]
