Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a hospital outer garment. [Background technology]

[0002] Various types of hospital outerwear have been disclosed as outerwear worn by patients undergoing medical examinations such as health checkups to determine whether they have any illnesses, or by inpatients who stay in the hospital for a certain period of time for treatment or examinations.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 (JP 2008-025038 A) discloses a medical examination garment in which the front body is formed of an upper front body on the collar opening side and a lower front body on the torso opening side, and the lower front body is formed of a right front body and a left front body, and portions of the right front body and the left front body are overlapped front and back to form a joint, and the upper end of this joint is fixed to the upper front body so that the right front body and the left front body cannot be separated, and a free end is formed at this joint so that the right front body and the left front body can be separated front and back.When worn, the right front body and the left front body can be pulled up to easily expose the front upper half of the wearer's body, and by releasing the right front body and the left front body from being pulled up, the front upper half of the wearer's body can be quickly covered. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-025038 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In the case of the garment disclosed in Patent Document 1, the right and left front bodice sections overlap significantly at the joining portion, posing a problem in that exposing half of the upper body requires the wearer to pull their arms out of the sleeves, exposing an unintended portion of the skin. If a wearer were to try to expose half of the upper body while keeping their arms in the sleeves, the right and left front bodice sections are fixed in a largely overlapping state at the joining portion, so by pulling up the half of the front bodice on the exposed side, a large force acts on the half of the front bodice and the back bodice on the opposite side. Therefore, there is a concern that this force will pull up the half of the front bodice and the back bodice on the opposite side, unintentionally exposing the upper body and back on the side opposite to the exposed side.

[0006] To provide an in-hospital top that allows a wearer to expose the front half of the upper body as needed and prevents the wearer's skin from being unintentionally exposed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] One embodiment of the hospital outer garment of the present invention is as follows. The garment has a vertical direction, a front-to-back direction, and a left-to-right direction which are perpendicular to each other, and comprises a front body covering the front shoulders, chest, and abdomen of a wearer, and a back body provided continuously with the front body and covering the back of the wearer, The front body is a first half portion disposed on one side in the left-right direction; a second half portion disposed on the other side in the left-right direction, The first half comprises: a first surface portion that covers the front shoulder portion on one side in the left-right direction and the chest and abdomen on both sides in the left-right direction; a first connecting portion that detachably connects the other end of the first surface portion in the left-right direction to the second half portion, the second half portion has a second surface portion that covers the front shoulder portion, the chest portion, and the abdomen portion on the other side in the left-right direction, The front body of this hospital top has a second connecting portion at the center in the left-right direction, connecting the first surface portion and the second surface portion to each other between the upper end in the vertical direction and the chest. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present invention, the wearer can expose the front half of the upper body as needed, and can prevent the wearer's skin from being unintentionally exposed. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 6] FIG. 10 is a front view showing a hospital outer garment according to a modified example of this embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the following aspects.

[0011] [Aspect 1] The garment has a vertical direction, a front-to-back direction, and a left-to-right direction which are perpendicular to each other, and comprises a front body covering the front shoulders, chest, and abdomen of a wearer, and a back body provided continuously with the front body and covering the back of the wearer, The front body is a first half portion disposed on one side in the left-right direction; a second half portion disposed on the other side in the left-right direction, The first half comprises: a first surface portion that covers the front shoulder portion on one side in the left-right direction and the chest and abdomen on both sides in the left-right direction; a first connecting portion that detachably connects the other end of the first surface portion in the left-right direction to the second half portion, the second half portion has a second surface portion that covers the front shoulder portion, the chest portion, and the abdomen portion on the other side in the left-right direction, The front body of this hospital top has a second connecting portion at the center in the left-right direction, connecting the first surface portion and the second surface portion to each other between the upper end in the vertical direction and the chest.

[0012] (effect) The hospital top comprises a front body section that covers the wearer's front shoulders, chest, and abdomen, and a back body section that is continuous with the front body section and covers the wearer's back. The first half of the front body section covers one front shoulder and both chest and abdomen sections by connecting the other end of the first face section to the second half section. The second half of the front body section covers the other front shoulder, chest, and abdomen sections by connecting the first face section and the second face section with a second connecting section. As a result, even if the hospital top opens vertically below the second connecting section of the second half section, the first half section still covers both chest and abdomen sections, preventing unintentional exposure of the wearer's skin.

[0013] The hospital top can expose one front half of the upper body by separating the first connecting part, separating the other end of the first panel from the second half, and pulling up the hem of the first half. In this case, the other end of the first panel is separated from the second half and becomes a free end, so that the force pulling up the first half generates almost no force pulling the second half and the back panel in either the left or right direction or upward. This prevents the second half and the back panel from being pulled up along with the first half when the hem of the first half is pulled up.

[0014] Furthermore, because the second half is connected to the first half at the center by the second connecting part, even when the other end of the first half is separated from the second half, one end remains in the center in the left-right direction, so the hospital jacket continues to cover the other front half of the upper body.

[0015] Therefore, when one front half of the wearer's upper body is exposed, the hospital top can maintain the second half covering the other front half of the upper body and the back half covering the back, thereby preventing the other front half of the upper body and the back from being unintentionally exposed.

[0016] Furthermore, the hospital top can expose the other front half of the wearer's upper body by separating the first connecting portion, separating the other end of the first panel from the second half, and pulling up the hem of the second half. Because the second half has a free end below the second connecting portion that is not connected to the first panel, pulling up the second half generates almost no force pulling the first half and the back panel in the other left-right direction or upward. Because the first connecting portion is separated, the first half hangs down exposing the other front half of the upper body. As a result, when the hem of the second half of the hospital top is pulled up, the other front half of the upper body can be easily exposed, and the first half and the back panel are prevented from being pulled up together with the second half. Furthermore, the first half portion hangs down from the second connecting portion due to its own weight, and maintains a state in which it covers one front half portion of the upper body.

[0017] Therefore, when the other front half of the wearer's upper body is exposed, the hospital top can maintain the first half covering one front half of the upper body and the back half covering the back, thereby preventing one front half of the upper body and the back from being unintentionally exposed. As described above, the hospital outerwear allows half of the upper body to be exposed as needed, while preventing the wearer's skin from being unintentionally exposed.

[0018] [Aspect 2] The hospital top according to aspect 1, wherein the second connecting portion detachably connects the first surface portion and the second surface portion. (effect) The first and second halves can be separated into left and right halves by separating the second connecting part. This allows the wearer to easily put on and take off the hospital top while lying in bed. Therefore, the hospital top can be used as patient clothing for hospitalized patients.

[0019] [Aspect 3] The hospital top of aspect 1, wherein the first half is positioned closer to the wearer's skin than the second half. (effect) The first half of the hospital jacket fits closely to the wearer's skin and covers the chest and abdomen, making it difficult for the wearer's skin to be exposed.

[0020] [Aspect 4] The hospital top of aspect 1, wherein the second half terminates at the center of the wearer in the left-right direction. (effect) Because the second half terminates in the center of the wearer, one of the left and right ends of the second face portion extends vertically due to its own weight. Therefore, the second half suppresses the occurrence of unnecessary wrinkles and has an excellent design. Because the first half of the hospital top covers the chest and abdomen on both sides of the wearer's left and right, even if the hem of the second half, which terminates in the center of the wearer, opens, the wearer's skin is prevented from being unintentionally exposed.

[0021] [Aspect 5] The hospital top described in aspect 3, wherein the front body has a third connecting portion between the second connecting portion and the lower end in the vertical direction, which detachably connects the first surface portion and the second surface portion. (effect) The front body portion connects the first and second sides with the third connecting portion, thereby preventing the second half from shifting relative to the first half. Therefore, the hospital top can be prevented from becoming disarrayed, for example, when the wearer lies down in bed. Furthermore, by separating the third connecting portion, the front half of the upper body can be exposed, and the first and second halves can be separated, so the hospital top can be easily changed on the wearer even while lying down in bed.

[0022] (Embodiment) The hospital outer garment of the present invention can be applied to examination clothing worn by patients undergoing medical examinations to determine whether they have any illnesses, such as health checkups. Furthermore, the hospital outer garment of the present invention may also be applied to patient clothing worn by hospitalized patients who remain in the hospital for a certain period of time for treatment or examination.

[0023] The hospital top according to this embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a front view of the hospital top according to this embodiment, Fig. 2 is a front view of the hospital top with the left front body part open, Fig. 3 is a front view of the hospital top with the right front half of the upper body exposed, Fig. 4 is a front view of the hospital top with the left front half of the upper body exposed, and Fig. 5 is a front view of the hospital top with the right and left front bodies open.

[0024] The hospital top 10 shown in FIG. 1 has a vertical direction V, a front-to-back direction L, and a left-to-right direction H, which are perpendicular to one another. The vertical direction V refers to the length of the wearer P when the hospital top 10 is worn by the wearer P, and is synonymous with the vertical direction. The front-to-back direction L is a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction V and refers to the front-to-back direction of the wearer P when the hospital top 10 is worn by the wearer P. The left-to-right direction H is a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction V and the front-to-back direction L. The direction and side toward the head of the wearer P are respectively referred to as the upward and upward sides of the vertical direction V, and the direction and side toward the legs of the wearer P are respectively referred to as the downward and downward sides of the vertical direction V. The direction and side facing forward as viewed from the wearer P are respectively referred to as the forward and forward sides of the front-to-back direction L, and the direction and side facing backward as viewed from the wearer P are respectively referred to as the backward and backward sides of the front-to-back direction L. The direction and side facing left as seen from the wearer P are respectively defined as the left-facing direction and the left side of the left-right direction H, and the direction and side facing right as seen from the wearer P are respectively defined as the right-facing direction and the right side. Furthermore, the side of the hospital top 10 that is closest to the body of the wearer P is defined as the inside, and the side that is farther from the body of the wearer P is defined as the outside. The belly and the belly side, and the back and the back side are defined based on the wearer P. The center of a certain component or a certain side in the left-right direction H refers to a range of length from the center in the left-right direction to 25% or less, preferably 20% or less, and more preferably 15% or less of the maximum length of a certain component or side in the left-right direction H.

[0025] In this specification, joining is not limited to sewing, but also includes using adhesives and heat sealing, and the method is selected appropriately depending on the material of the fabric. Furthermore, "along" a certain reference includes following a direction within a range of less than ±45° from the reference. The end of a certain direction of a certain component refers to a range of a length from the edge of the component in that direction to 1 / 5 (preferably 1 / 10) or less of the overall length of the component in that direction.

[0026] The hospital top 10 is made of fabric. The fibers constituting the fabric are not particularly limited, and examples thereof include polyester fibers such as polyethylene terephthalate and polytrimethylene terephthalate, synthetic fibers such as polyamide fibers such as nylon 6 and nylon 66, semi-synthetic fibers such as acetate fibers, and natural fibers such as cotton, linen, and wool, either alone or in combination of two or more. The form of the fabric in this embodiment is not particularly limited, and any form such as woven fabric, knitted fabric, or nonwoven fabric can be used depending on the purpose.

[0027] The hospital top 10 comprises a front body 12 and a back body 14 that is continuous with the front body 12. As shown in FIG. 1 , the hospital top 10 may have a right sleeve 16 and a left sleeve 18 that cover the arms of a wearer P.

[0028] The front body 12 covers the front shoulders 20, chest 22, and abdomen 24 of the wearer P. The front body 12 has an upper edge 26 at the top end, a lower edge 28 at the bottom end, a right edge 30 at the right end, and a left edge 32 at the left end. The upper edge 26 has a neckline 34 in the center in the left-right direction H and shoulder joints 36 on both sides of the neckline 34. The neckline 34 is U-shaped, recessed downward. A neck tape 38 is attached to the neckline 34. The right edge 30 has, from top to bottom, a right sleeve connection part 40 and a right armpit 42. The left edge 32 has, from top to bottom, a left sleeve connection part 44 and a left armpit 46.

[0029] The front body 12 has a right front body 48 as a first half portion located on the right side in the left-right direction H, and a left front body 50 as a second half portion located on the left side in the left-right direction H. As shown in FIG. 2 , the right front body 48 has a first surface portion 52 and a first connecting portion 54.

[0030] The first panel 52 is a sheet-like member made of fabric and covers the right front shoulder 20R and both sides of the chest 22 and abdomen 24 of the wearer P. The first panel 52 has a right upper edge 26R at its upper end, a right lower edge 28R at its lower end, a right edge 30 at its right end, and a left armpit edge 56 at its left end. The right upper edge 26R has a right neckline 34R in the center in the left-right direction H, a right shoulder joint 36R to the right of the right neckline 34R, and a left extension 58 to the left of the right neckline 34R. The right neckline 34R has a notch cut out to form a downward recess between the left end of the right upper edge 26R and the right end of the left extension 58. The left extension 58 slopes downward further to the left from the left end of the right neckline 34R, which is the lower end of the neckline 34, and is connected to the left side edge 56. The left side edge 56 is linear in the up-down direction V.

[0031] The first connecting portion 54 is provided at the left end, where the left extension portion 58 and the left side edge 56 intersect. The first connecting portion 54 shown in FIG. 2 is a string, one end of which is joined to the first side portion 52 at the intersection of the left extension portion 58 and the left side edge 56, and the other end is a free end. The first connecting portion 54 may be the same material as the neck tape 38. In the case of FIG. 2, the neck tape 38 extends from the neckline 34 along the left extension portion 58 and further extends outside the first side portion 52 from the intersection of the left extension portion 58 and the left side edge 56. The first connecting portion 54 is the portion of the neck tape 38 that extends outside the first side portion 52 from the intersection of the left extension portion 58 and the left side edge 56.

[0032] The left front body 50 has a second side 60 (Fig. 1). The second side 60 is a sheet-like member made of fabric that covers the left front shoulder 20L, chest 22L, and abdomen 24L. The second side 60 has an upper left edge 26L at its top end, a lower left edge 28L at its bottom end, a left edge 32 at its left end, and a central edge 62 at its right end. The upper left edge 26L has a left neckline 34L at its left end in the left-right direction H, and a left shoulder seam 36L to the left of the left neckline 34L. The left neckline 34L has a recessed shape between the right end of the upper left edge 26L and the upper end of the central edge 62. The right end of the left neckline 34L, which is the lower end of the neckline 34, is connected to the central edge 62. The central edge 62 is a straight line extending along the vertical direction V. The second surface portion 60 may be formed from two pieces of fabric via a left front dividing line 64 extending in the vertical direction V. The upper end of the left front dividing line 64 connects to the left sleeve connecting portion 44 of the left edge 32, and the lower end connects to the lower left edge 28L.

[0033] The left front body 50 has a first connected part 66 provided on the inside that detachably connects the first connecting part 54 (Fig. 2). The first connected part 66 is a loop joined to the left front body 50. The first connected part 66 is preferably provided on the left side of the left front body 50. The first connected part 66 may be joined by being sandwiched between the left front dividing line 64.

[0034] The front body 12 has a second connecting portion 68. The second connecting portion 68 connects the first side portion 52 and the second side portion 60 to each other. The second connecting portion 68 is located at the center of the front body 12 in the left-right direction H, between the upper end, i.e., the lower end of the neckline 34, and the chest region 22. The second connecting portion 68 may be located within a range of 25%, 20%, or 15% of the maximum length of the front body 12 in the left-right direction H from the center of the front body 12 in the left-right direction H. The second connecting portion 68 connects the first side portion 52 and the second side portion 60 to each other when the first side portion 52 and the second side portion 60 are overlapped in the front-to-rear direction L. The second connecting portion 68 is located along the central edge 62 of the left front body 50. The second connecting portion 68 may join the first side portion 52 and the second side portion 60 to each other. Alternatively, the second connecting portion 68 may connect the first side portion 52 and the second side portion 60 so that they can be separated from each other. In this embodiment, the second connecting portion 68 is a button or a hook-and-loop fastener. The number of second connecting portions 68 is not limited to one, and may be two or more. The second connecting portion 68 is preferably provided above the midpoint in the up-down direction V between the lower end of the neckline 34 and the bust top of the chest portion 22.

[0035] The back body 14 covers the back 25 of the wearer P. The back body 14 is a sheet-like member formed from a single piece of fabric and is rectangular in shape with its longitudinal direction in the up-down direction V. Although not shown, the back body 14 has a back shoulder joint, a right sleeve joint, a right armpit, a left sleeve joint, and a left armpit at its upper edge, corresponding to the front body 12. The back shoulder joint of the back body 14 is joined to the shoulder joint 36. Similarly, the back body is joined to the right armpit 42 and left armpit 46 of the front body 12, respectively.

[0036] The right sleeve 16 and the left sleeve 18 are each tubular and have a cuff 71 at one end and a right sleeve connector 72 and a left sleeve connector 73 at the other end. The right sleeve 16 is joined at the right sleeve connector 72 to the right sleeve connector 40 of the front body 12 and the right sleeve connector of the back body 14. The left sleeve 18 is joined at the left sleeve connector 73 to the left sleeve connector 44 of the front body 12 and the left sleeve connector of the back body 14.

[0037] As described above, the hospital top 10 is formed by integrating the front body 12, back body 14, right sleeve 16, and left sleeve 18. The right front body 48 and left front body 50 are connected to the first connected portion 66 at the first connecting portion 54, and the first face portion 52 and second face portion 60 are connected at the second connecting portion 68, whereby the right neckline 34R and left neckline 34L come together to form the neckline 34. The right front body 48 is positioned against the skin of the wearer P, i.e., on the inner side of the left front body 50, and the left front body 50 is positioned on the outer side of the right front body 48.

[0038] (Action and effect) The wearer P separates the first connecting part 54 and the second connecting part 68, opens the right front body part 48 and the left front body part 50, puts on the hospital top 10, and puts on the hospital top 10 by passing his / her right hand through the right sleeve part 16 and left hand through the left sleeve part 18 from the inside of the hospital top 10. Next, the wearer P wraps the right front body part 48 around the abdomen 24 of the wearer P, fastens the first connecting part 54 to the first connected part 66, and connects the left end of the first face part 52 to the left armpit of the second face part 60. Furthermore, the left front body part 50 is placed over the right front body part 48 so as to cover the outside of the right front body part 48, and the second face part 60 is connected to the first face part 52 at the second connecting part 68 (Fig. 1).

[0039] The right front body 48 covers the wearer P's right front shoulder 20R and both sides of the chest 22 and abdomen 24 by connecting the left end of the first face portion 52 to the left front body portion 50. The left front body portion 50 covers the wearer P's left front shoulder 20L, chest 22L, and abdomen 24L by connecting the first face portion 52 and the second face portion 60 with the second connecting portion 68. That is, the wearer P's right armpit is covered by the back body portion 14 and the right front body portion 48. The wearer P's left armpit is covered by the back body portion 14 and the left front body portion 50 between the left end of the first face portion 52 and the second face portion 60. Furthermore, the right front body portion 48 and the left front body portion 50 overlap in the front-to-back direction L at the left half of the wearer P's front upper body. As a result, even if the left front body part 50 below the second connecting part 68 of the hospital top 10 is opened, the right front body part 48 still covers the chest 22 and abdomen 24 on both sides, preventing unintentional exposure of the wearer P's skin. Therefore, the wearer P wearing the hospital top 10 can move around the hospital without worrying about the gaze of others.

[0040] The hospital top 10 has the right front body 48 positioned closer to the skin of the wearer P than the left front body 50, so that the right front body 48 fits more closely to the skin of the wearer P and covers the chest 22 and abdomen 24 on both sides, giving the wearer P a sense of security.

[0041] Because the left front body 50 terminates at the center in the left-right direction H, the center edge 62 of the second face portion 60 extends along the up-down direction V due to its own weight. Therefore, the left front body 50 suppresses the occurrence of unnecessary wrinkles and has excellent design. In the hospital top 10, the right front body 48 covers the chest 22 and abdomen 24 on both sides of the wearer P. Therefore, even if the hem of the left front body 50, which terminates at the center in the left-right direction H, opens, unintentional exposure of the wearer P's skin is suppressed as long as the second connecting portion 68 connects the first face portion 52 and the second face portion 60.

[0042] Next, a case where the wearer P exposes the right front half of their upper body will be described. First, the first connecting portion 54 and the first connected portion 66 are released from the connection, and the left end of the first panel portion 52 is separated from the left front body portion 50. By separating the left end of the first panel portion 52 from the left front body portion 50, the left end of the right front body portion 48 becomes a free end. The right front body portion 48 hangs down from the second connecting portion 68 due to its own weight, maintaining the state in which the right front half of the upper body is covered. In other words, the hospital top 10 maintains the state in which the upper body of the wearer P is covered even if the left end of the first panel portion 52 is simply separated from the left front body portion 50.

[0043] Next, by pulling up the bottom of the right front body 48 so that the right front body 48 is placed over the wearer P's right shoulder, the right front half of the upper body, i.e., the right chest 22R and abdomen 24R, can be exposed (FIG. 3). In this case, the left end of the first surface portion 52 of the right front body 48 separates from the left front body 50 and becomes a free end, so that the force pulling up the right front body 48 generates almost no force pulling the left front body 50 and the back body 14 rightward or upward. As a result, when the bottom of the right front body 48 is pulled up, the hospital top 10 prevents the left front body 50 and the back body 14 from being pulled up together with the right front body 48.

[0044] Furthermore, since the left front body 50 is connected to the right front body 48 at the center by the second connecting portion 68, even if the left end of the right front body 48 is separated from the left front body 50, the central end edge 62 is maintained in the center position in the left-right direction H, so the left front half remains covered.

[0045] Therefore, when the right front half of the wearer P's upper body is exposed, the hospital top 10 can maintain the left front half, i.e., the left chest 22L and abdomen 24L, covered by the left front body 50, and the back body 14 can maintain the back 25, thereby preventing the left front half and back 25 of the upper body from being unintentionally exposed.

[0046] Next, a case where the wearer P exposes the left front half of their upper body will be described. First, the connection between the first connecting part 54 and the first connected part 66 is released, and the left end of the first panel part 52 is separated from the left front body part 50. Next, the hem of the left front body part 50 is pulled up so that the left front body part 50 is draped over the wearer P's left shoulder, thereby exposing the left front half of their upper body, i.e., the left chest part 22L and abdomen part 24L (FIG. 4). In this case, because the second panel part 60 of the left front body part 50 below the second connecting part 68 is a free end that is not connected to the first panel part 52, pulling up the left front body part 50 generates almost no force pulling the right front body part 48 and the back body part 14 leftward or upward. The right front body 48 hangs down under its own weight with the left front half of the upper body exposed because the first connecting part 54 is separated from the first connected part 66. This allows the hospital top 10 to easily expose the left front half of the upper body when the hem of the left front body 50 is pulled up, and prevents the right front body 48 and the back body 14 from being pulled up together with the left front body.

[0047] Furthermore, the right front body 48 hangs down from the second connecting portion 68 due to its own weight, maintaining a state in which it covers the right front half of the upper body.

[0048] Therefore, when the left front half of the wearer P's upper body is exposed, the hospital top 10 can maintain a state in which the right front body 48 covers the right front half of the upper body, i.e., the right chest 22R and abdomen 24R, and the back body 14 covers the back 25, thereby preventing the right front half of the upper body and back 25 from being unintentionally exposed. Therefore, the hospital top 10 can be used as examination clothing for examinees.

[0049] As described above, the hospital top 10 allows half of the upper body to be exposed as needed, while preventing unintentional exposure of the skin of the wearer P. When the wearer P wears such a hospital top 10, he or she can expose half of the upper body as needed while preventing unnecessary exposure of the skin when undergoing a medical examination such as a health checkup.

[0050] The second connecting portion 68 separably connects the first face portion 52 and the second face portion 60, allowing the first face portion 52 and the second face portion 60 to be separated into left and right halves (FIG. 5). This allows a caregiver or the like to easily put the hospital top 10 on the wearer P while the wearer P is lying in bed wearing the hospital top 10. Therefore, the hospital top 10 can be used as patient clothing for hospitalized patients.

[0051] (Variation) The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the present invention.

[0052] In the above embodiment, the first connecting portion 54 is a string, but the present invention is not limited to this, and buttons and hook-and-loop fasteners can also be used.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the first half is the right front body 48 and the second half is the left front body 50, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first half may be the left front body and the second half may be the right front body.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 6 , in which the same components as in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals, the front body 12 may have a third connecting portion 76 between the second connecting portion 68 and the lower end, which connects the first face portion 52 and the second face portion 60 in a separable manner. By connecting the first face portion 52 and the second face portion 60 via the third connecting portion 76, the front body 12 prevents the hem of the left front body portion 50 from shifting relative to the right front body portion 48. Therefore, the hospital top 10 can prevent the hospital top 10 from becoming disheveled, for example, when the wearer P lies down in bed for an examination or sleep. Furthermore, by separating the third connecting portion 76, the front half of the upper body can be exposed, and the right front body portion 48 and the left front body portion 50 can be separated. This allows a caregiver or other person to easily change the hospital top 10 on the wearer while they are lying down in bed. A button or a hook-and-loop fastener can be used for the third connecting portion 76. The number of third connecting portion 76 is not limited to one, and may be two or more.

[0055] In the above embodiment, the right front body 48 is positioned closer to the wearer's skin, i.e., on the inside of the left front body 50. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the hospital top 10A shown in FIG. 6 has a first connected portion 66 on the outside of the left front body 50. The first connected portion 66 may be joined by being sandwiched between the left front switching line 64. The front body 12 has a second connecting portion 68. The left front body 50 is wrapped around the abdomen 24 of the wearer P, and the right front body 48 is overlapped on the left front body 50 so as to cover the outside of the left front body 50, and the first connecting portion 54 is fastened to the first connected portion 66. Furthermore, the second connecting portion 68 connects the second panel 60 to the first panel 52. In this manner, the left front body 50 may be positioned closer to the wearer P's skin, i.e., on the inside of the right front body 48, and the right front body 48 may be positioned on the outside of the left front body 50. In the hospital top 10A, the first connected part 66 is provided on the outside of the left front body 50, so that the first connecting part 54 can be easily fastened to the first connected part 66.
