DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0025] Hereinafter, embodiments of the underwear pad of the present invention and underwear provided with the same will be specifically described with reference to the drawings, although the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0026] <Overall composition of underwear 1> Fig. 1(a) is a front view of underwear 1 according to the present invention, Fig. 1(b) is a view of underwear 1 turned inside out with pad 3 attached, and Fig. 2(a) is a view of underwear 1 turned inside out with pad 3 removed. As shown in Fig. 1(a), underwear 1 according to the present invention comprises a genital covering part 2 arranged on the front so as to cover a man's private parts, body parts 11 (front and back body parts) connected to both sides of genital covering part 2 and covering the waist, a crotch part 12 arranged below the crotch, and further a waist elastic 13 connected to the genital covering part 2 and the upper side of body part 11.
[0027] The pad 3, which will be described later, can be attached to the inside of the private parts covering part 2. In this embodiment, the private parts covering part 2 is formed from the same fabric material as the body part 11. Furthermore, the body part 11 in this embodiment is composed of a single piece of fabric for the front and back body parts, but this is not limiting, and for example, the entire body part 11 may be composed of two pieces of fabric. Note that the "inside" here refers to the side that faces the body when the user wears the underwear 1 (the side that faces the pad 3 when the pad 3 is attached), and the "outside" refers to the side that is exposed to the outside when the underwear 1 is worn. Furthermore, in the following description, the term "top" refers to the side that is the top side (the waist elastic 13 side) when the underwear 1 is worn, and the term "bottom" refers to the side that is the bottom side (the crotch part 12 side) when the underwear 1 is worn.
[0028] <Local covering part 2> As shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 2(a), the private parts covering part 2 is composed of a pair of outer fabrics 21a and 21b, and an inner fabric 22 provided inside the outer fabrics 21a and 21b. The outer fabrics 21a and 21b have a certain degree of stretchability, and are cut to form a three-dimensional shape by sewing their side edges together at seams 214. The inner fabric 22 also has a certain degree of stretchability, and is formed into a three-dimensional shape by sewing darts at seams 221 between the left and right fabrics at its lower center. The private parts covering part 2 is formed to bulge from the inside outward so as to form a space inside it that can accommodate the pad 3. Note that this bulging three-dimensional shape does not necessarily need to be maintained when the underwear 1 is not being worn; it is sufficient that the inside is depressed and the inner bulge is bulged outward when the underwear 1 is worn.
[0029] The local covering part 2 has a linear upper end 211, both side end parts 212 extending in a direction approximately perpendicular to the upper end part 211, and a lower end part 213 curved in an arc shape continuing from both side end parts 212. The depression or bulge of the local covering part 2 described above is formed so that the degree of depression or bulge increases from the upper end part 211 side to the lower end part 213 side.
[0030] As shown in FIG. 2(a), an attachment portion 24 to which a pad 3 can be attached is provided on the inside of the local covering portion 2. The attachment portion 24 is a sheet-like engaging member having, on the surface facing the pad 3, a locking portion or a loop-shaped portion capable of locking the locking portion, and in this embodiment, a fabric hook-and-loop fastener is used. The locking portion is not particularly limited as long as it can be locked onto the loop-shaped portion, but in the case of a fabric hook-and-loop fastener, it can be formed from a group of hook-shaped or non-hook-shaped fibers. Such hook-and-loop fasteners are preferable because they can be attached and detached repeatedly, do not impair comfort when worn, and do not make much noise when removed.
[0031] The attachment portion 24 is formed in a generally rectangular quadrangle and is provided in an upper region of the local covering portion 2. In this embodiment, it is formed in a range of approximately 1 / 5 to 1 / 2, and more preferably 1 / 4 to 1 / 3, of the height direction of the local covering portion 2, downward from the upper end portion 211 of the local covering portion 2. By providing the attachment portion 24 in this limited region on the upper end portion 211 side of the local covering portion 2, it becomes easier to remove the pad 3 and also makes fine adjustments for alignment easier, compared to when the attachment portion 24 is provided over the entire local covering portion 2 and fixed over the entire surface.
[0032] The attachment portion 24 is sewn at its upper end 241 and both side end portions 242 to the edges (upper end portion 211, both side end portions 212) of the local covering portion 2, and also at its lower end portion 243 to the lining fabric 22. In this way, by sewing the attachment portion 24 to the local covering portion 2 at its upper end portion 241, both side end portions 242, and further at its lower end portion 243, the attachment portion 24 does not float above the local covering portion 2 when the pad 3 is removed, and the pad 3 can be easily removed.
[0033] Water-repellent tape (binder 23) is sewn to the sewn area between the private parts covering 2 and the body 11, wrapping the edges and seams of the private parts covering 2 and the body 11 from the front and back on the inside of the underwear 1. By providing the binder 23 made of water-repellent tape at the sewn area between the private parts covering 2 and the body 11 in this way, it is possible to prevent urine from seeping out from the private parts covering 2 side to the body 11 side.
[0034] Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the private parts covering part 2 with the pad 3 removed. As shown in Fig. 3, the binder 23 is attached by covering the part where the edges of the fabric are sewn together with water-repellent tape, and therefore this part is thicker and more rigid than the rest of the body part 11, outer fabric 21a, outer fabric 21b, and lining fabric 22. The binder 23 is formed in the shape of a single strip, with a surface 231 exposed to the inside of the underwear 1, and inner and outer ends 232a and 232b that form the boundaries between the private parts covering part 2 and the body part 11, and both ends 233 of the binder 23 are connected to the waist elastic 13 as shown in Fig. 3.
[0035] The binder 23 is provided lying toward the body 11 near the waist elastic 13, and is connected with its surface 231 approximately parallel to the body 11. By providing the binder 23 lying toward the body 11 rather than toward the local covering portion 2 in this way, the edges of the binder 23 and the pad 3 do not overlap when the pad 3 is attached, and the thickness of the attachment portion can be reduced. Furthermore, because the binder 23 is bent in an approximately U-shape as a whole, the surface 231 of the binder 23 gradually twists toward the inside of the local covering portion 2 as it approaches the bent bottom. Then, near the bottom of the binder 23, coupled with the approximately U-shaped bend, the surface 231 twists further so that it faces upward.
[0036] That is, the binder 23 is formed in a lying state substantially parallel to the body 11 near the portion where it is connected to the waist elastic 13 at the upper part, but as it moves downward, the inner end 232a moves toward the outside of the underwear 1 and the outer end 232b moves toward the inside of the underwear 1, causing a twist in the binder 23. And because the binder 23 itself has a certain rigidity as described above, it is angled so as to rise up relative to the body 11 below the private parts covering portion 2, thereby forming a bank-like bulge at the boundary between the binder 23 and the body 11. This twist in the binder 23 contributes to maintaining the shape of the private parts covering portion 2, which is substantially flat at the upper part and bulges outward as it goes lower.
[0037] In this way, the binder 23 is twisted so that its surface 231 faces inward of the local covering part 2, and therefore, when the pad 3 is attached to the local covering part 2, the surface 231 of the binder 23 can support the outer edge of the pad 3 at the lower side of the local covering part 2. In particular, the binder 23 becomes more twisted the closer it is to the lower end 213 of the local covering part 2, and therefore the protruding height of the bank-like bulge is higher at the lower part than at the upper part of the local covering part 2. As a result, the pad 3, whose upper part is fixed and whose lower part is more likely to swing, is supported by the surface 231 of the binder 23 from both sides and below, preventing it from shifting significantly. Furthermore, at the lowest part of the binder 23, the surface 231 faces almost upward, so this part can reliably support the pad 3 from below.
[0038] The binder 23 of this embodiment is made of a water-repellent fabric and is sewn with water-repellent thread. As a sewing method, it is preferable to use a flat two-needle sewing machine or a flat three-needle sewing machine, as this makes the seams flat and reduces discomfort when worn.
[0039] The thread used for sewing is not limited to water-repellent thread, but is preferably water-repellent, and suitable examples include polypropylene thread, polyester water-repellent thread, acrylic water-repellent thread, nylon water-repellent thread, acetate water-repellent thread, and ethylene vinyl alcohol water-repellent thread. It is preferable to use water-repellent thread not only for sewing the binder 23, but also for sewing each of the genital covering portion 2 and pad 3 of the underwear 1.
[0040] <Pad 3> Fig. 4(a) is a perspective view of the pad 3 according to the present invention as seen from the back side, Fig. 4(b) is a perspective view of the pad 3 as seen from the front side, and Fig. 4(c) is a cross-sectional view showing the layer structure of the pad 3. The pad 3 is formed so that it can be attached to the inside of the private parts covering the male body 2. As shown in the figure, the pad 3 bulges outward from the inside, and has a spoon-shaped recess on the inside that can accommodate the male private parts.
[0041] The pad 3 has a linear upper end 301, both side end portions 302 extending in a direction approximately perpendicular to the upper end 301, and a lower end portion 303 curved in an arc shape continuing from both side end portions 302. The pad 3 is formed in an approximately flat plate shape near the upper end portion 301, and the central portion bulges out from the back side to the front side as it approaches the lower end portion 303, and is formed in an approximately dome shape near the arc-shaped lower end portion 303. Note that the shape of the pad 3 is not limited to that of this embodiment, and for example, the upper end portion 301 may also be formed in an arc shape similar to the lower end portion 303.
[0042] In this way, the pad 3 is formed into a three-dimensional shape, and to maintain this three-dimensional shape, dart stitching is provided at the center of the lower part of the front fabric 31 and back fabric 32 that make up the pad 3. This three-dimensional shape of the pad 3 enables it to support the male private parts when worn. The pad 3 is also formed into a shape and dimensions that allow it to fit entirely inside the private parts covering the underwear 2. Furthermore, both side end portions 302 and the lower end portion 303 of the pad 3 are formed into a shape that fits along the binder 23 when the pad 3 is attached to the underwear 1. The pad 3 itself has lower elasticity than the private parts covering the underwear 2.
[0043] 4(a), the inside of the pad 3, especially the lower part that is formed to be recessed, has wrinkles and pleats on the back fabric 32, which will be described later. The cushioning effect of these wrinkles and pleats allows for softer support of the male private parts. Also, it is less likely that a gap will form between the pad 3 and the male private parts, allowing the pad 3 to fit the body better.
[0044] 2(b), above the bulging top 311 of the pad 3, the inner surface 321a faces diagonally downward, while the inner surface 321b faces diagonally upward below the top 311. In this way, the inner surface 321b on the lower side of the pad 3 faces upward, so that urine dripping from the male private parts can be received below it.
[0045] Next, the layer structure of the pad 3 will be described with reference to Figure 4(c). The pad 3 has a waterproof and breathable front fabric 31 on its front side, and a moisture-absorbing and dispersive back fabric 32 on its back side. A water absorber 33 is provided between the front fabric 31 and the back fabric 32. An attachment portion 34 (described later) is provided on a portion of the front side of the pad 3 so as to overlap the front fabric 31. The front fabric 31 may be a waterproof fabric that has been treated with a water-repellent finish.
[0046] For example, a fabric having a waterproof layer formed from a waterproof and breathable polyurethane sheet can be suitably used as the waterproof outer fabric 31. Also, for example, a water-repellent fabric whose surface is coated with silicon or fluorine, which repels water in the form of beads, can be suitably used as the water-repellent outer fabric 31.
[0047] Furthermore, it is preferable to use a material for the back fabric 32 that has excellent moisture absorption and diffusion properties and also has the function of preventing moisture from returning.
[0048] A water-absorbent pile fabric such as cotton can be suitably used for the water absorbent body 33. In addition to natural fibers such as cotton, water-absorbent fibers such as regenerated cellulose fibers such as cupra and viscose rayon, and synthetic fibers such as water-absorbent polyester can also be used, and knitted fabrics such as rib knitting, smooth knitting, and even weft knitting fabrics such as jersey knitting, and warp knitting fabrics such as raschel knitting are suitably used.
[0049] By arranging the fabrics and materials of the pad 3 in this way, urine is quickly absorbed into the water absorbent body 33 via the water-repellent and diffusive back fabric 32. The waterproof or water-repellent outer fabric prevents urine from seeping out and thus preventing it from seeping into the private parts covering the body 2.
[0050] Additionally, an attachment portion 34 is provided on the upper portion of the front side of the pad 3. By attaching this attachment portion 34 to the attachment target portion 24 of the private parts covering the body 2, the pad 3 can be attached to the underwear 1 in a detachable manner.
[0051] The attachment part 34 is a sheet-like engaging member that has a locking part or a loop-shaped part that can lock onto the locking part on the surface facing the attached part 24 of the local covering part 2, and in this embodiment, a cloth hook-and-loop fastener is used. The locking part is not particularly limited as long as it can be locked onto the loop-shaped part, but in the case of a cloth hook-and-loop fastener, it can be formed from a group of hook-shaped or non-hook-shaped fibers. Such a hook-and-loop fastener is preferable because it does not impair comfort when worn and does not make much noise when removed.
[0052] In this embodiment, the attached portion 24 and the attaching portion 34 use a hook-and-loop fastener made of cloth, but the present invention is not limited to such a hook-and-loop fastener as long as it is a means capable of attaching the pad 3. For example, other fixing means such as a button, a snap button, or an adhesive sheet can be used.
[0053] The mounting portion 34 in this embodiment is formed in a substantially rectangular quadrangle and is provided within a predetermined range from the upper end 301 of the pad 3. In this embodiment, the mounting portion 34 is provided within a range of approximately 1 / 5 to 1 / 2, more preferably 1 / 4 to 1 / 3, of the height of the pad 3 from the upper end 301 of the pad 3. By providing the mounting portion 34 in a limited area on the upper part of the pad 3 in this manner, removal of the pad 3 during positioning is easier than when the mounting portion 34 is provided over the entire pad 3 and fixed to the entire surface. Note that the height of the mounting portion 34 is preferably formed to be shorter than the height of the mounting portion 24. This increases the degree of freedom in the mounting position of the pad 3 in the vertical direction. Note that, although the mounting portion 34 is provided in a limited area on the upper part of the pad 3 in this embodiment, it may be provided over the entire front surface of the pad 3.
[0054] The attachment portion 34 is sewn to the upper end 301 and both side end portions 302 of the pad 3 only at its upper end portion 341 and both side end portions 342. In other words, the lower end portion 343 of the attachment portion 34 is not sewn to the pad 3. Furthermore, at both side end portions 342, the front fabric 31 and the back fabric 32 are sewn together at seams 35. The front fabric 31 is formed slightly larger than the back fabric 32. As shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 5, the front fabric 31 wraps around the edge of the pad 3 and enters the inside of the pad 3. This positions the seams 35 between the front fabric 31 and the back fabric 32 closer to the inside of the pad 3, contributing to improving the waterproofness of the pad 3.
[0055] In this embodiment, the attachment portion 34 is sewn to the pad 3 over the entire length of its upper end portion 341 and both side end portions 342, but the portions sewn to the pad 3 are not limited to this. For example, the upper end portion 341 and the lower end portion 343 may not be sewn, and only both side end portions 342 may be sewn. Alternatively, only parts of the upper end portion 341 and both side end portions 342 may be sewn.
[0056] In this way, by sewing the attachment portion 34 only to the edge of the pad 3 and not sewing it to the center of the outer fabric 31, the seams with the outer fabric 31 are kept to a minimum, preventing urine from seeping through the seams. Furthermore, since the lower end 343 of the attachment portion 34 is not sewn, movement of the pad 3 is permitted, allowing it to follow the movements of the male genitals. Furthermore, when washing, the attachment portion 34 can be turned inside out and positioned on the back side of the pad 3 (see FIG. 5). By turning the attachment portion 34 inside out when washing in this way, it is possible to prevent dirt from adhering to the attachment portion 34 during washing.
[0057] When a hook-and-loop fastener is used as the attachment portion 34, it is preferable that the attachment portion 34 be the male side (the locking portion side) and the attachment receiving portion 24 be the female side (the loop-shaped portion side). For example, if a pile fabric with a loop-shaped portion is used as the hook-and-loop fastener of the attachment receiving portion 24, the fabric is flexible and easily follows the movement of the body, and also feels good against the skin.
[0058] Fig. 2(b) is a cross-sectional view of the underwear 1 with the pad 3 attached. As shown in Fig. 2(b), the pad 3 is fixed to the attachment portion 24 of the underwear 1 only by the upper attachment portion 34, and the other portions are not fixed, so that the pad 3 is suspended within the underwear 1. This allows the pad 3 to move somewhat independently without following the private parts 2, thereby providing reliable support in accordance with the movement of the male private parts. As mentioned above, the lower end 343 of the attachment portion 34 is not sewn and is left free, which allows the pad 3 to move freely.
[0059] 1(b), the pad 3 is attached so that its peripheral edge fits along the binder 23 provided from both side edges to the lower edge of the local covering part 2. In this way, the peripheral edge is supported by the binder 23, so that the pad 3 can be prevented from shifting significantly.
[0060] <How to use underwear 1> Before putting on the underwear 1, the pad 3 is attached to the inside of the private parts covering the underwear 2. If the attachment part 34 and the attached part 24 are formed with hook-and-loop fasteners, the attachment can be performed while adjusting the upper and lower attachment positions as needed.
[0061] If a spare pad 3 is available, the underwear 1 can be used as is by simply replacing the pad 3. After wearing the underwear 1, the pad 3 can be removed and washed separately from the underwear 1. In this case, as described above, it is preferable to turn the attachment portion 34 of the pad 3 inside out before washing. To turn the attachment portion 34 inside out, insert a finger into the gap between the lower end 343 of the attachment portion 34 and the front fabric 31 of the pad 3, hold the vicinity of the upper end 341 of the attachment portion 34 with your finger, and pull it out from the gap between the lower end 343 and the pad 3. Then, move the attachment portion 34 toward the back fabric 32 so that the engaging portion 344 side faces the back fabric 32 of the pad 3.
[0062] After washing, the underwear 1 body and the pad 3 can be dried separately, so that both the underwear 1 and the pad 3 can be dried more quickly.
[0063] <Variation 1> 6(a) is a cross-sectional view of a first modified example of the pad 3 according to the present invention. In the pad 3 of the first modified example, the thickness of the water absorbent body 33 is formed to be thicker in the lower part 332 of the pad 3 than in the upper part 331 of the pad 3. By forming the water absorbent body 33 thicker on the lower part 332 side of the pad 3 in this way, the amount of urine absorbed can be increased.
[0064] <Variation 2> Fig. 6(b) is a cross-sectional view of a second modified example of the pad 3 according to the present invention. In the pad 3 of the second modified example, the water absorber 33 is not provided on the upper part of the pad 3, but only on the lower part. By providing the water absorber 33 only on the lower part of the pad 3 in this way, the pad 3 can be made thinner. The pad 3 of the second modified example is suitable for cases where a thinner pad 3 is prioritized over an increased amount of urine absorption, and the aim is to improve wearing comfort.
[0065] The underwear 1 of this embodiment is boxer briefs type pants, but the shape is not limited to this and may be other shapes such as trunks type.
[0066] Although various embodiments and modifications have been described above, it is of course possible to combine these embodiments and modifications. Furthermore, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be implemented in various forms without departing from the gist of the present disclosure.
