[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-213522 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the hand covers disclosed in Patent Document 1, the fixing bands provided on the wrists are passed through band threaders and tightening aids, and the hand covers are then fastened to the hands.

[0005] However, this hand cover requires not only a fixing band but also a tightening aid, which increases the number of parts, and there is also the risk that the fixing band may loosen depending on the manner of use, such as if the patient struggles or moves unconsciously or carelessly.

[0006] Therefore, a primary object of the present invention is to provide a belt that can be fastened without loosening despite having a small number of components, as well as a nursing mitten, a waist supporter, and a wristwatch that include the belt. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a belt comprising a base portion, a strip-shaped belt main body connected to the outer surface of the base portion, a belt portion including a plurality of sheet-shaped hard materials arranged in a longitudinal direction on the belt main body and harder than the belt main body, belt loops arranged on the outer surface of the base portion for passing the wound belt portion through, and belt presser portions arranged on top of the belt loops for sandwiching the belt portion that has been passed through the belt loops and folded back between the belt loops, wherein the plurality of hard materials are arranged so that, when the belt portion is fastened, adjacent hard materials located before and after the folded back point of the belt portion sandwich the belt loop, and the hard material on the tip side of the adjacent hard materials is sandwiched between the belt loops and the belt presser portions.

[0008] In this invention, the belt is wound into a loop so that the base serves as both the starting point and the end point, and then the tip of the belt is passed through the belt loops provided on the outer surface of the base. The degree of tightness of the belt is adjusted by pushing and pulling the belt. The belt is folded back in a moderately tight state, and the tip of the belt is inserted between the belt loop and the belt presser, completing the fastening of the belt. When the belt is fastened, the belt is folded back at a location where there is no hard material (between two hard materials), and two adjacent hard materials located before and after the folded back location sandwich the belt loop, and the hard material at the tip of the two adjacent hard materials is sandwiched between the belt loop and the belt presser. At this time, the belt loop functions as a wedge driven between the two adjacent hard materials, preventing the two adjacent hard materials from moving, at least in the direction that the belt would loosen, thereby fastening the belt without loosening. Furthermore, there is no need for separate components such as the fastening aids and buckles disclosed in Patent Document 1, and the number of components can be reduced.

[0009] There is also provided a nursing mitten comprising the above-mentioned belt for wearing on the wrist and a hand cover portion connected to the base portion for enclosing the hand.

[0010] In this way, the belt according to the present invention can be applied to nursing care mittens. In this case, the belt can be easily fastened with the hand cover portion surrounding the hand and the base portion surrounding the wrist, and the nursing care mitten can be easily worn on the hand. Meanwhile, when the belt is fastened, the hard member at the tip of the two adjacent hard members sandwiching the belt loop is sandwiched between the belt loop and the belt holder and is difficult to move, so the user cannot easily release the belt fastening, and the nursing care mitten can be kept securely attached.

[0011] Preferably, the nursing mitten further includes a connecting member that detachably connects the base portion and the hand cover portion, so that the user can use their hands freely, for example, when eating or playing, by simply removing the hand cover portion from the base portion.

[0012] Preferably, the care mitten further includes a first opening / closing member that extends across the base portion through a portion of the base portion that the belt portion does not pass through and into the hand cover portion in order to open and close the care mitten. In this case, by simply opening the first opening / closing member with the belt fastened, the care mitten can be easily removed from the user's hand without manipulating the belt. When putting the care mitten on the user's hand thereafter, the care mitten can be quickly put on by simply closing the first opening / closing member without adjusting the belt.

[0013] More preferably, the care mitten further includes a positioning member provided in the hand cover at a position where the thumb and index finger of the hand come into contact. In this case, when putting the care mitten on the hand, the hand is inserted into the hand cover so that the positioning member comes into contact with the thumb and index finger. This allows the hand to be contained within the hand cover without protruding beyond the hand cover. Furthermore, rotation of the care mitten can be prevented.

[0014] Preferably, the hand cover is formed in a cylindrical shape with openings at both ends. In this case, the cylindrical shape of the hand cover allows the user to move their hand freely and eliminates the risk of finger contracture. Furthermore, an opening is formed at the tip of the hand cover, allowing the user to observe the condition of their hand (e.g., color and movement) and touch the user's hand without removing the care mitten.

[0015] Preferably, the hand cover includes a tubular cover main body and a fabric portion covering the cover main body. In this case, when the hand touches the hand cover, the hand touches the fabric portion, so that the user's hand can be protected without feeling uncomfortable.

[0016] More preferably, the hand covering portion is formed in a bag shape with one end open. In this case, the bag-shaped hand covering portion can cover the user's hands and prevent the user's hands from accidentally coming into contact with objects.

[0017] Preferably, the hand cover includes a viewing window made of mesh or a transparent material, which allows the user's hands inside the hand cover to be seen through the viewing window, making it easier to observe the condition of the user's hands.

[0018] Preferably, the hand covering portion includes a second opening / closing member for opening and closing a portion of the hand covering portion, in which case, by opening the second opening / closing member, the user's hands can be reached without removing the care mitten, making it easier to access the user's hands.

[0019] Furthermore, there is provided a waist supporter including the above-mentioned belt for wearing around the waist of a human body.

[0020] In this way, the belt according to the present invention can be applied to a lumbar supporter. In this case, with the base portion and belt portion surrounding the waist, the belt can be easily fastened, and the lumbar supporter can be easily worn around the waist. Meanwhile, when the belt is fastened, the hard member at the tip of the two adjacent hard members sandwiching the belt loop is sandwiched between the belt loop and the belt presser and is difficult to move, so the lumbar supporter can be kept in a good position.

[0021] There is also provided a wristwatch comprising the above-mentioned belt for wearing on the wrist and a watch body provided on the base.

[0022] As such, the belt according to the present invention can be applied to a wristwatch. In this case, with the base and belt parts surrounding the wrist, the belt can be easily fastened, making it easy to wear the wristwatch on the arm. Meanwhile, when the belt is fastened, the hard piece at the tip of the two adjacent hard pieces that sandwich the belt loop is sandwiched between the belt loop and the belt holder and is difficult to move, so the wristwatch can be kept comfortably attached.

[0023] The "hard material" in this invention may be any material that is harder than the belt body. [Effects of the Invention]

[0024] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a belt that can be fastened without loosening despite having a small number of components, as well as a nursing mitten, a waist supporter, and a wristwatch that include the belt. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0026] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0027] 1(a) and 1(b), a belt 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a base portion 12, a belt loop 14, a belt presser portion 16, and a belt portion 18.

[0028] The base portion 12 includes an angular base body 20 made of a flexibly deformable cloth, and a reinforcing member 22 housed within the base body 20. The reinforcing member 22 is made of an angular PP (polypropylene) sheet that is harder than the base body 20, and is formed into approximately the same angular shape as the base body 20 to reinforce the hardness of the base portion 12.

[0029] The belt loop 14 is provided on the main surface (outer surface) of the base portion 12. The belt loop 14 includes a loop body 24 made of flexibly deformable cloth and formed in a strip shape, and a reinforcing member 26 housed within the loop body 24. The reinforcing member 26 is made of an angular PP (polypropylene) sheet that is harder than the loop body 24, and is formed in a strip shape roughly the same as the loop body 24, reinforcing the hardness of the belt loop portion 14.

[0030] The belt presser 16 is provided on the main surface (outer surface) of the base 12 so as to overlap the belt loop 14 in order to sandwich the belt portion 18, which has been passed through the belt loop 14 and folded back, between the belt presser 16 and the belt loop 14. More specifically, the belt presser 16 is placed over the belt loop 14 with a slight offset so that the end of the belt loop 14 facing the belt portion 18 is exposed. In other words, the belt loop 14 and the belt presser 16 are provided so that they partially overlap each other. This makes it easier to pass the belt portion 18, which has been passed through the belt loop 14 and folded back, between the belt loop 14 and the belt presser 16. The belt presser 16 includes a presser body 28 made of flexibly deformable cloth and formed in a strip shape, and a reinforcing member 30 housed within the presser body 28. The reinforcing member 30 is made of an angular PP (polypropylene) sheet that is harder than the pressing body 28, and is formed into a rectangular shape that is roughly the same as the pressing body 28, and reinforces the hardness of the belt pressing portion 16.

[0031] In this way, since the base portion 12, the belt loop 14 and the belt pressing portion 16 each include the reinforcing members 22, 26 and 30, the base portion 12, the belt loop 14 and the belt pressing portion 16 are less likely to deform even if an external force is applied when the belt portion 18 is folded back, for example.

[0032] The belt portion 18 includes a belt-shaped belt main body 32, a plurality (ten in this embodiment) of sheet-shaped hard members 34, a reinforcing member 36, and a plurality (four in this embodiment) of reinforcing members 38. The belt main body 32 is made of a flexibly deformable cloth, and one end thereof is connected to the main surface (outer surface) of the base portion 12. The belt main body 32 is attached to the main surface of the base portion 12 with a slight gap between the belt loops 14 and the belt presser 16. The plurality of hard members 34 are made of rectangular PP (polypropylene) sheets that are harder than the belt main body 32 and are housed at regular intervals within the belt main body 32. In this manner, the plurality of hard members 34 are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the belt main body 32. The tightness of the belt 10 can be adjusted by adjusting the spacing between adjacent hard members 34 (corresponding to the center-to-center distance between adjacent hard members 34). The reinforcing member 36 is housed within the tip of the belt main body 32 and is made of a pentagonal PP (polypropylene) sheet that is harder than the belt main body 32. This reinforces the tip of the belt portion 18, making it easier to pass the belt portion 18 through the belt loops 14 and the belt presser 16. The multiple reinforcing members 38 are arranged at intervals within the belt main body 32, closer to the connection end than the multiple hard materials 34. The multiple reinforcing members 38 are made of angular PP (polypropylene) sheets that are harder than the belt main body 32. This makes it possible to prevent wrinkles in the belt portion 18 and stabilize the shape of the belt portion 18.

[0033] Referring to FIG. 2, when using such a belt 10, the belt portion 18 is wound into a loop so that the base portion 12 serves as the start and end points, and then the tip of the belt portion 18 is passed through the belt loops 14 provided on the outer surface of the base portion 12. The degree of tightness of the belt portion 18 is adjusted by pushing and pulling the belt portion 18. The belt portion 18 is folded back in a moderately fastened state, and the tip of the belt portion 18 is inserted between the belt loops 14 and the belt presser 16, thereby completing the fastening of the belt portion 18. When the belt portion 18 is fastened, as shown in FIG. 3, the belt portion 18 is folded back at a location where there is no hard member 34 (between two hard members 34), and two adjacent hard members 34 located before and after the folded back location sandwich the belt loop 14, and the hard member 34 on the tip side of the two adjacent hard members 34 is sandwiched between the belt loop 14 and the belt presser 16. At this time, the belt loop 14 functions as a wedge that is driven between the two adjacent hard materials 34, and the two adjacent hard materials 34 cannot move at least in the direction that loosens the belt portion 18, so that the belt 10 can be fastened without loosening. In addition, there is no need for separate parts such as a tightening aid or a buckle, and the number of components can be reduced.

[0034] Next, a care mitten 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0035] 4 to 6, nursing mitten 100 is an open-tip mitten configured to enclose at least the hand and wrist, and includes belt 10a, arm covering portion 102, and hand covering portion 104. As shown in FIG.

[0036] Referring also to Figures 7 and 8, belt 10a is configured to be wearable around the wrist and includes a base portion 12a, a belt loop 14a, a belt holding portion 16a, and a belt portion 18a, as well as multiple (four in this embodiment) belt loops 40a to 40d.

[0037] The base portion 12a includes a rectangular base body 20a and a reinforcing member 22a housed within the base body 20a. The base body 20a is made of a flexible, deformable fabric and is sized to comfortably encircle the wrist. The reinforcing member 22a is made of a square-shaped PP (polypropylene) sheet that is harder than the base body 20a. The reinforcing member 22a is located near the connection point of the belt portion 18a on the base portion 12a and the attachment points of the belt loop 14a and belt presser 16a.

[0038] The belt loops 40a-40d are each made of a flexibly deformable cloth and formed in a strip shape, and are provided at intervals in the longitudinal direction (circumferential direction) on the main surface (outer surface) of the base portion 12a to wrap the belt portion 18a in the circumferential direction around the outer surface of the base portion 12a. The belt loop 40a is provided on one side (the belt portion 18a side) of the belt loop 14a, and the belt loops 40b-40d are provided on the other side of the belt loop 14a.

[0039] Belt portion 18a is connected to base portion 12a between the first belt loop 40a from the end and the second belt loop 14a from the end, and has a length that allows it to pass through all belt loops 14a, 40a to 40d.

[0040] Other configurations of the belt 10a are substantially the same as those of the belt 10, and therefore, the corresponding components are designated with the suffix "a" and will not be described again.

[0041] An arm cover part 102 is connected to one end of the base part 12a of the belt 10a in the short direction. The arm cover part 102 is made of a flexible and deformable cloth and is formed in a substantially rectangular shape so that it can be wrapped around the arm to enclose at least a part of the forearm (wrist side). Also, as shown in Figure 5, the arm cover part 102 can be folded over to cover the belt 10a.

[0042] Furthermore, a hand covering portion 104 for enclosing the hand is connected to the other end of base portion 12a of belt 10a in the short direction. That is, hand covering portion 104 is connected to the end of base portion 12a of belt 10a opposite arm covering portion 102. Referring also to FIG. 9, hand covering portion 104 is formed in a cylindrical shape with both ends open, more specifically, a hollow truncated cone shape. Referring also to FIGS. 10 and 11, hand covering portion 104 includes a cover main body 106 and a fabric portion 108 that covers cover main body 106. Cover main body 106 is formed in a cylindrical shape, more specifically, a hollow truncated cone shape made of, for example, a PP sheet. A cushioning member (not shown) made of cotton or the like may be interposed between cover main body 106 and outer fabric portion 108, and a mesh fabric (not shown) may be interposed between cover main body 106 and inner fabric portion 108. By inserting the buffer member, the outer surface of the hand cover part 104 becomes soft to the touch, and by inserting the mesh fabric, the hand cover part 104 becomes more breathable, preventing the hands from getting stuffy, and the nursing mitten 100 can be worn comfortably.

[0043] 4 and 6, base portion 12a and hand covering portion 104 of belt 10a are detachably connected by fastener 110 as a connecting member. That is, base portion 12a and hand covering portion 104 are integrated or separated by fastener 110. In this embodiment, fastener 110 includes cloth tape 110a and teeth 110b provided at an end of base portion 12a, and cloth tape 110c, teeth 110d, and slider 110e provided on cloth portion 108 at the opening end on the smaller diameter side of hand covering portion 104.

[0044] 4, 9, and 10, a belt-like positioning member 112 made of a flexibly deformable cloth is provided in hand covering portion 104 at a position where the thumb and index finger of the hand come into contact. One end of positioning member 112 is connected to the inner surface of hand covering portion 104 near the smaller-diameter opening. The inner surface of hand covering portion 104 is provided with a pressing portion 114 through which positioning member 112 passes and a holding portion 116 for holding positioning member 112. Pressing portion 114 includes a pressing body 118 made of a flexibly deformable cloth and formed in a strip shape, and a reinforcing member 120 housed within pressing body 118. Reinforcing member 120 is made of an angular PP (polypropylene) sheet that is harder than pressing body 118 and is formed in a strip shape roughly the same as pressing body 118, reinforcing the hardness of pressing portion 114. Holding portion 116 is made of a flexibly deformable cloth and is larger than pressing portion 114. The positioning member 112 can be firmly held by the pressing portion 114, and the positioning member 112 can be held by the holding portion 116. The position of the positioning member 112 can be adjusted by pushing or pulling the positioning member 112 that has been passed through the pressing portion 114 and the holding portion 116.

[0045] 11, fastener pocket 124 capable of storing two strings 122 is provided on the outer surface of hand covering portion 104 between cover body 106 and fabric portion 108. Ends of two strings 122 are attached inside fastener pocket 124. Two strings 122 can be tied to, for example, a fence.

[0046] The procedure for putting such a care mitten 100 on the hand will be described.

[0047] First, hand cover portion 104 is connected to belt 10a with fastener 110. Then, as shown by the arrows in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 , belt portion 18a is passed through all of belt loops 40a, 40d, 40c, 40b, and 14a in this order. A hand is inserted into nursing care mitten 100 in this state, starting from arm cover portion 102, and the hand is positioned within hand cover portion 104 so that the space between the thumb and index finger contacts positioning member 112. The degree of tightness of belt portion 18a is then adjusted by pushing and pulling belt portion 18a. Belt portion 18a is folded back with the belt appropriately fastened, and its tip is inserted between belt loop 14a and belt retainer 16a, completing the fastening of belt portion 18a and allowing nursing care mitten 100 to be worn on the hand. At this time, the belt portion 18a is wound around the base portion 12a so that a portion S is generated where the belt portion 18a does not pass through the base portion 12a. In other words, the belt portion 18a is folded back before making a full turn so that the portion S can be formed. When the belt portion 18 is fastened, the belt portion 18a is folded back at a portion where there is no hard material 34a (between two hard materials 34a), and two adjacent hard materials 34a located before and after the folded back portion sandwich the belt loop 14a, and the hard material 34a on the tip side of the two adjacent hard materials 34a is sandwiched between the belt loop 14a and the belt presser portion 16a.

[0048] In this way, belt 10a can be applied to nursing care mitten 100. With nursing care mitten 100, with hand covering portion 104 surrounding the hand, base portion 12a surrounding the wrist, and arm covering portion 102 surrounding at least a portion of the forearm (wrist side), belt 10a can be easily fastened in the same manner as belt 10, and nursing care mitten 100 can be easily worn around the hand. On the other hand, with belt 10a fastened, of the two adjacent hard members 34a sandwiching belt loop 14a, the hard member 34a on the tip side is sandwiched between belt loop 14a and belt retainer 16a and is difficult to move, so the user cannot easily release the belt fastening, and nursing care mitten 100 can be kept in a good condition.

[0049] By simply removing hand cover portion 104 from base portion 12a using fastener 110, which is a connecting member, the user can freely use their hands, for example, when eating or playing.

[0050] When putting on nursing care mitten 100, the hand is inserted into hand covering portion 104 so that the space between the thumb and index finger comes into contact with positioning member 112. This allows the hand to be contained within hand covering portion 104 without protruding beyond hand covering portion 104. It also prevents nursing care mitten 100 from rotating.

[0051] Hand covering portion 104 is cylindrically formed, allowing the user to move their hand freely and eliminating the risk of finger contracture. In addition, an opening is formed at the tip of hand covering portion 104, allowing the user to observe the condition of their hand (e.g., color and movement) and touch their hand without removing nursing mitten 100.

[0052] When the hand touches the hand covering portion 104, the hand also touches the fabric portion 108, so the user can protect the hand without feeling uncomfortable.

[0053] Wearing the nursing mitten 100 not only protects the hands, but also prevents the need for tube and needle removal when administering intravenous drips, gastrostomy infusions, or inserting an indwelling bladder catheter, and further allows for smoother procedures such as excretory exchange.

[0054] Next, a care mitten 100a according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

[0055] Care mitten 100a is a closed-tip mitten, and includes hand covering portion 126 and fastener 128 as a first opening / closing member, instead of hand covering portion 104 and fastener 110 of care mitten 100 according to the previous embodiment. The rest of the configuration of care mitten 100a is the same as that of care mitten 100, and therefore the same reference numerals are used to omit redundant explanations.

[0056] Hand covering portion 126 is connected to base portion 12a of belt 10a at the end opposite arm covering portion 102. Hand covering portion 126 is formed in a bag shape with one open end. That is, hand covering portion 126 is formed so that the front end is closed and the rear end is open.

[0057] Referring also to FIG. 15 , hand covering portion 126 includes a substantially flat lower covering portion 130, a dome-shaped upper covering portion 132, an observation window portion 134 formed of a mesh or transparent material, and a fastener 136 as a second opening / closing member for opening and closing a portion of hand covering portion 126. Upper covering portion 132 is connected to lower covering portion 130 so that its leading end is closed and its trailing end is open. Preferably, lower covering portion 130 and upper covering portion 132 incorporate a hard material (not shown), such as a PP sheet, to maintain their shape. Observation window portion 134 and fastener 136 are provided in upper covering portion 132 so as to extend in the width direction.

[0058] In order to open and close the nursing mitten 10a, the fastener 128 traverses the arm cover portion 102 and the base portion 12a and extends to the upper cover portion 132 of the hand cover portion 126. At this time, the fastener 128 passes through a portion S of the base portion 12a through which the belt portion 18a does not pass.

[0059] With this type of care mitten 100a, the care mitten 100a can be easily removed from the user's hand without manipulating the belt 10a by simply opening the first opening / closing member, fastener 128, while the belt 10a is fastened. When the care mitten 100a is then put on the user's hand, the care mitten 100a can be quickly put on by simply closing the fastener 128 without adjusting the belt 10a.

[0060] Hand cover portion 126 is formed in a bag shape, so that it can cover the user's hands and prevent the user's hands from accidentally coming into contact with objects.
