Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a clothing component. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, brassieres with pads inside the cups have been known, as described in Patent Document 1, for example. The pads are stored in pockets that can be easily inserted and removed, and the number, type, and position of the pads can be adjusted. Such brassieres are useful, for example, as medical brassieres for patients who have undergone mastectomy. Flexible and elastic materials such as urethane, silicone, cotton, and nonwoven fabric are used as the pad materials. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3224254 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] As mentioned above, various materials have been used for brassiere pads. While each material has certain advantages, it also has disadvantages when used as a clothing component such as a pad. For example, nonwoven fabric pads have the advantage of being highly breathable, but are too light, resulting in an unnatural feel and texture. Urethane pads have the advantage of being moldable into any shape, but are poorly breathable and too light, which can cause discomfort when worn and lead to slippage. Silicone pads have a moderate weight, excellent texture, and a pleasant soft feel. However, silicone pads have very low breathability. As such, it has been difficult to achieve a clothing component that satisfies all of the following requirements: good breathability, a moderate feel (including concepts of softness and hardness), and a moderate texture (including concepts of weight and density).

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a clothing member that has good breathability, a suitable touch, and a suitable texture. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The clothing component of the present invention is a clothing component having a three-dimensional structure formed by laminating soft resins, and the three-dimensional structure has voids.

[0007] In this clothing component, breathability can be ensured by the voids provided in the three-dimensional structure. Furthermore, by adjusting the type of soft resin and the volume of the voids, the softness and hardness can be changed, and the texture can be adjusted. At the same time, the weight can be changed, and the texture can be adjusted. As a result, a clothing component that combines good breathability, a moderate texture, and a moderate texture is provided.

[0008] The Shore hardness of the soft resin may be A0 to A95. By setting the Shore hardness within this range, the resin will not break and the clothing member can conform to the body.

[0009] The infill density in the three-dimensional structure may be 5 to 80%. By setting the infill density within this range, the above-mentioned touch and texture can be more favorably maintained.

[0010] The three-dimensional structure has a first surface facing the body of a wearer wearing the garment to which the garment component is attached, and a continuous portion in which the soft resin is continuous around the entire periphery of the first surface may be formed. For example, a three-dimensional structure created by a three-dimensional additive manufacturing device typically has many end points on the periphery. The strength of the three-dimensional structure is increased by the structure in which the end points are connected by continuous portions. As a result, the durability of the garment component during use is improved.

[0011] The infill density of the three-dimensional structure may vary depending on the region. In this case, the difference (distribution) in infill density depending on the region allows adjustment of the conformability (comfort) to the wearer's body, weight, etc.

[0012] The structure forming the three-dimensional structure may differ depending on the region. In this case, the deformation characteristics, texture, feel, etc. of each region can be adjusted by the difference (distribution) of the structure depending on the region.

[0013] The three-dimensional structure may have a gyroid structure. By adopting a gyroid structure, the requirements for breathability can be satisfied, and the characteristics of the gyroid structure, which combines "continuity" and "periodicity" in the three-dimensional direction, can be utilized to realize a clothing component that has a uniform (uniform) tactile feel and texture in response to contact or load from any part, as well as sufficient strength.

[0014] The three-dimensional structure has a first surface that faces the body of a wearer who wears the garment to which the garment component is attached, and the first surface may be curved. The curved first surface easily fits the wearer's body.

[0015] The three-dimensional structure may have a fabric provided on at least one surface thereof, and the fabric and the three-dimensional structure may be integrated by impregnating the fabric with a soft resin on one surface. In this case, since the fabric and the three-dimensional structure are integrated by impregnation with the soft resin, no separate adhesive or the like is required, and breathability is not reduced, and a comfortable fit can be obtained even when used as a clothing component. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] According to the present invention, a clothing member having good breathability, a suitable touch, and a suitable texture is provided. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0018] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same elements are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated explanations will be omitted. The clothing components are applied to clothing intended to shape underwear, outerwear, and socks, sportswear (including underwear), workwear, or clothing intended to protect the body for elderly people and caregivers, and supporters. The clothing components are applied to, for example, a part of the body of the wearer wearing the clothing.

[0019] 1 and 2, a clothing component 1 according to one embodiment and a three-dimensional structure 20 constituting the clothing component 1 will be described. As shown in Fig. 1 and 2, the clothing component 1 includes, for example, a pad 10 made of a soft resin and a cover 30 that houses the pad 10.

[0020] The pad 10 has, for example, a three-dimensional shape. Taking into consideration its use as a clothing component 1, the pad 10 is molded into a shape suited to its intended use. The pad 10 is made of a soft resin and has elasticity. The pad 10 has a softness suited to its use as a clothing component 1. The pad 10 can be manufactured using, for example, a three-dimensional additive manufacturing device (3D printer).

[0021] In this embodiment, the pad 10 is made of a three-dimensional structure 20 formed by laminating soft resin. The pad 10 may be the three-dimensional structure 20 itself, or the three-dimensional structure 20 may be coated with or filled with some other material. The three-dimensional structure 20 may be combined with or joined to another member to form the pad 10. In this embodiment, the pad 10 is the three-dimensional structure 20 itself.

[0022] The cover 30 is provided depending on the application of the clothing component 1. The cover 30 is a bag made of an appropriately selected fabric. The clothing component 1 may be attached to the clothing with the pad 10 housed in the cover 30, or the cover 30 may be part of the clothing. The cover 30 is formed, for example, from a stretchable fabric, and has an insertion opening 31 in part. The pad 10 is housed in the cover 30 through the insertion opening 31. The insertion opening 31 may not be provided, and the pad 10 may be built into the cover 30 (in a state where it cannot be removed) during the manufacturing stage.

[0023] The cover 30 may be omitted. That is, the pad 10 may be used as a clothing component by itself. When the cover 30 is not necessary, the pad 10 may be attached (or fixed) to some kind of clothing in an exposed state.

[0024] The clothing member 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 is a pad for a brassiere. The clothing member 1 is applied to the cup portion of a brassiere, for example, and used for the purpose of shaping. Alternatively, the clothing member 1 can be used by women who have had a breast removed (post-mastectomy breast pads). In this case, the pad 10 is shaped to have a feel and texture that will not cause discomfort when replacing a removed breast.

[0025] In this embodiment, the clothing component 1 is described as a brassiere pad, but the clothing component may also be a brassiere cup. The clothing component is not limited to a form applied to a brassiere. The three-dimensional structure 20 can be molded into any (optional) shape and size, and therefore has a shape and size that fits the wearer's body. Therefore, even if a pair of clothing components, one for the left and one for the right body parts such as the bust and the hips, are provided, the left and right can be made to have different shapes and / or sizes to match the shapes of the bust, hips, etc. of each wearer. Other examples of clothing components include body-shaping or protective pads such as bust cups, bust pads, hip pads, shoulder pads, knee pads, elbow pads, and back pads.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 1, the three-dimensional structure 20 has voids. In other words, the three-dimensional structure 20 has a porous structure. The three-dimensional structure 20 is a structure obtained by layer-by-layer manufacturing of a soft resin into a porous structure. The voids in the three-dimensional structure 20 have, for example, a structure in which they are linked (connected) to each other, which gives the three-dimensional structure 20 high breathability. In other words, the voids in the three-dimensional structure 20 are not closed spaces within the three-dimensional structure 20, but are open spaces that communicate with the outside of the three-dimensional structure 20. Note that the voids are not shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 2 (their complicated shape makes it difficult to illustrate).

[0027] The voids in the three-dimensional structure 20 are regular voids. The three-dimensional structure 20 has a structure in which unit voids of the same shape and size are regularly repeated. The three-dimensional structure 20 preferably has a gyroid structure. The entire three-dimensional structure 20 is formed of the same (uniform) gyroid structure. The inventors have found that the gyroid structure is suitable for the clothing member 1 in terms of shaping ability, body protection, creating an appropriate touch and texture, and breathability. Note that the three-dimensional structure may be a lattice structure, a triangle structure, a star structure, a grid structure, a cubic structure, a honeycomb structure, a zigzag structure, or the like, in addition to the gyroid structure.

[0028] The infill density of the three-dimensional structure 20 is preferably 5 to 80%. The infill density is uniform throughout the three-dimensional structure 20. In other words, the infill density is uniform throughout the three-dimensional structure 20 (except for the continuous portion 25 described below). The infill density of the three-dimensional structure 20 is more preferably 20 to 70%, even more preferably 30 to 60%, and even more preferably 30 to 50%. In the field of three-dimensional additive manufacturing, the infill density is sometimes referred to as the infill filling rate or filling ratio. Alternatively, the term "resin volume ratio" may be used instead of the infill density. The resin volume ratio is the ratio of the resin volume of the article to the volume of a resin filled article with the same external shape. If the infill density is 5% or less, it tends to be difficult to manufacture the three-dimensional structure 20.

[0029] The Shore hardness of the soft resin is preferably A0 to A95. By setting the Shore hardness within this range, the resin does not break and the clothing member 1 can conform to the body. The expression "Shore hardness An" (n is a numerical value) is synonymous with Shore A hardness n. A desired softness can be achieved by appropriately combining the Shore hardness setting and the infill density setting. Generally, a resin with a Shore hardness of A0 feels soft regardless of the infill density as long as voids are provided. On the other hand, a resin with a Shore hardness of A95 feels hard regardless of the infill density setting. The inventors have discovered that even with a resin with a Shore hardness of A95, an infill density within the range of 5 to 10% can increase the compressible portion, and therefore a softness acceptable from the viewpoint of wearing comfort can be achieved.

[0030] The soft resin is, for example, a thermoplastic elastomer resin. For example, a styrene-based elastomer resin is preferably used as the soft resin. As the resin material for the soft resin, in addition to a styrene-based elastomer resin, an olefin-based, urethane-based, ester-based, or other soft thermoplastic elastomer resin may be used. Furthermore, a photocurable elastomer resin may be used.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the three-dimensional structure 20 of the pad 10 of this embodiment has a back surface (first surface) 22 that faces the body of the wearer, and a front surface (second surface) 21. The front surface 21 of the three-dimensional structure 20 is a bulging surface (see also Figure 4(a)). The back surface 22 of the three-dimensional structure 20 is a flat surface (see also Figure 4(b)). The back surface 22 may also be a curved surface, such as a concave surface. In this case, the fit to the chest of the wearer is further improved.

[0032] Furthermore, a continuous portion 25 is formed on the peripheral edge 24 of the back surface 22, in which the soft resin is continuous along the entire periphery (see also FIG. 4(b)). When the three-dimensional structure 20 is formed with a gyroid structure or one of the other structures described above, the outer peripheral edge of the peripheral edge 24 has multiple end points lined up in the circumferential direction. The continuous portion 25 is made of a laminated structure of soft resin. The continuous portion 25 connects the end points of the peripheral edge 24 of the three-dimensional structure 20 (a gyroid structure, for example). The continuous portion 25 is formed in an annular shape, which connects the end points to each other and makes them continuous. Therefore, due to the continuous portion 25, the end points are no longer end points but become intermediate portions of a continuous structure (reference symbols are added in the figure to indicate the positions of the end points). The continuous portion 25 improves the strength of the three-dimensional structure 20.

[0033] The continuous portion 25 may be linear between adjacent end points, the distance corresponding to the shortest distance connecting the end points. The continuous portion 25 has, for example, a flat surface on the back surface 22 side. The continuous portion 25 may have a circular or semicircular cross section. The shape of the continuous portion 25 (the cross-sectional shape cut along a plane extending in the radial direction) may be determined appropriately depending on the application of the clothing component 1.

[0034] The continuous portion 25 of this laminated structure does not have to be linear, corresponding to the shortest distance connecting the end points of the periphery 24 of the three-dimensional structure 20. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of end points 26 are formed circumferentially at the outer peripheral edge of the periphery 24. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the continuous portion 25 is not linear, corresponding to the shortest distance connecting the end points 26, between adjacent end points 26, but is intentionally curved, zigzag (a combination of multiple straight lines), or a combination of multiple straight lines and multiple curved lines. For example, the continuous portion 25 forms a wave shape between adjacent end points 26. For example, at least one convex portion (mountain-shaped portion) protruding radially outward from the back surface 22 or one concave portion recessed radially inward from the back surface 22 is provided between adjacent end points 26. When the continuous portion 25 is not linear, the stretchability of the peripheral edge 24 increases, and the conformability improves.

[0035] A method for manufacturing the pad 10, i.e., the three-dimensional structure 20, will be described. The three-dimensional structure 20 is manufactured using a three-dimensional additive manufacturing device (3D printer). The three-dimensional additive manufacturing method for manufacturing the three-dimensional structure 20 is not particularly limited, but for example, a manufacturing method in which soft resin granules (pellet-shaped raw material) are melted and extruded in a screw extruder, and then discharged from a nozzle to scan strands (filaments) can be used. The three-dimensional additive manufacturing device is equipped with a control unit (controller) that controls the position of either the nozzle or the base on which the model is placed. Alternatively, a manufacturing method may be used in which a linear body of soft resin is melted and ejected from a nozzle to scan.

[0036] The control unit is configured as a computer device including a processor such as a CPU, memories such as ROM and RAM, storage, a communication device, etc. The control unit stores 3D data of the three-dimensional structure 20 to be modeled, and moves either the nozzle or the base based on this 3D data. The three-dimensional structure 20 modeled on the base is completed through a cooling process (natural cooling or forced cooling).

[0037] The diameter of the extruded strand (diameter of the filament) can be adjusted by appropriately selecting the diameter of the nozzle outlet. The diameter of the strand may be set depending on the size, shape, structure, infill density, etc. of the three-dimensional structure 20, and may be determined, for example, within the range of 0.1 mm to 6.0 mm. The diameter may be a value within the range of 0.3 mm to 4.0 mm. The strand may be in the form of a very thin fiber called a filament. Even in this case, the filament has a diameter of at least 0.01 mm.

[0038] In the clothing component 1 of this embodiment, breathability can be ensured by the voids provided in the three-dimensional structure 20. Furthermore, by adjusting the type of soft resin and the volume of the voids, the softness and hardness can be changed, and the texture can also be adjusted. At the same time, by changing the structure and density, the weight can be changed, and the texture can be adjusted. As a result, a clothing component is provided that combines good breathability, a moderate tactile feel, and a moderate texture. The thickness can also be freely set. Furthermore, it can be manufactured using general-purpose resin materials, and is easy to manufacture using three-dimensional additive manufacturing. Therefore, cost issues are unlikely to arise.

[0039] When used as a brassiere pad, the garment component 1 has high breathability, which reduces the problem of stuffiness and provides comfort. Furthermore, the pad 10 conforms to the body shape and prevents the garment from becoming loose. When the garment component 1 is used as a breast pad for post-breast cancer surgery, the garment component 1 achieves the softness (touch) and weight (texture) of a real breast. Conventionally, when silicone pads are used, the pad tends to be too heavy, increasing the burden on the shoulders. This problem is also resolved. Furthermore, the interior of the three-dimensional structure 20 flexes, allowing the garment component 1 to conform to the body shape. Furthermore, the garment component 1 can be tailored to the shape, size, elasticity, etc. of each individual patient, allowing the garment component 1 to replicate the pre-operative bust. When the garment component 1 is used as a hip pad, shoulder pad, or joint protection pad, the garment component 1 also achieves high breathability and the effects of conforming to the body shape and preventing the garment from becoming loose.

[0040] The infill density in the three-dimensional structure is 5 to 80%. By setting the infill density within this range, the above-mentioned touch and texture can be more favorably maintained.

[0041] The three-dimensional structure 20 has a back surface 22 that faces the body of the wearer, and the back surface 22 is flat (planar). The three-dimensional structure 20 is soft and therefore fits well, but if the back surface 22 is curved, it will fit the body of the wearer even better. For example, by attaching a curved support to the base during manufacturing and performing three-dimensional additive manufacturing, the back surface 22 can be curved, allowing it to fit the body shape better.

[0042] The three-dimensional structure is a gyroid structure. By adopting a gyroid structure, the requirements for breathability are met while the characteristics of the gyroid structure, which combines "continuity" and "periodicity" in the three-dimensional direction, are realized to create clothing components that have a uniform (uniform) feel and texture regardless of contact or load from any part, as well as sufficient strength.

[0043] In the three-dimensional structure 20, a continuous portion 25 in which the soft resin is continuous around the entire periphery is formed on the periphery 24 of the back surface 22. The three-dimensional structure 20 usually has a large number of end points 26 on the periphery 24. The structure in which the end points 26 are connected by the continuous portion 25 increases the strength of the three-dimensional structure 20. As a result, the durability of the clothing component 1 during use is improved.

[0044] The continuous portion 25 is made of a laminated structure of soft resin (see Fig. 1, Fig. 4(b), and Fig. 5). The laminated structure allows for the formation of a sturdy continuous portion 25, which further increases the strength of the three-dimensional structure 20.

[0045] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. A three-dimensional structure having voids can be realized in any manner.

[0046] For example, the infill density of the three-dimensional structure may vary depending on the region. In this case, the difference (distribution) of infill density depending on the region allows adjustment of the conformability (comfort) to the wearer's body. For example, by increasing the infill density near the center of gravity of the three-dimensional structure, it is possible to adjust the weight while maintaining conformability to the body and breathability. By varying the infill density depending on the region, it is possible to change the softness and firmness. When the clothing component 1 is applied to breast pads for post-surgery breast cancer surgery, the weight balance between the top and bottom can be made closer to that of a real bust, which has the advantage of preventing deformation of the shape when worn.

[0047] The structure forming the three-dimensional structure may be different depending on the region. In this case, the texture or feel of each region can be adjusted by the difference (distribution) of the structure depending on the region. By varying the structure depending on the region, the softness and firmness can be changed.

[0048] The continuous portion may be made of one soft resin filament or multiple soft resin filaments. In this case, the continuous portion made of one or multiple filaments can increase the strength of the three-dimensional structure using only the minimum amount of material necessary. Furthermore, the continuous portion does not affect the deformation characteristics or hinder the conformability to the body. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a continuous portion 25A made of one or two to three ultra-thin filaments may be provided on the periphery. In this case, the end points are also connected, thereby increasing the strength of the three-dimensional structure 20.

[0049] Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, a clothing component 1A may be provided in which the three-dimensional structure 20 is joined onto the surface 40a of a fabric 40. For example, in the clothing component 1A shown in FIG. 3, the fabric 40 is provided on the back surface 22 of the three-dimensional structure 20, and the fabric 40 and the three-dimensional structure 20 are integrated by impregnating the fabric 40 with a soft resin on the back surface 22. If the back surface 22 is concave, the fabric is placed on a base having the same shape as the concave surface, and the impregnated portion A (joint portion) is formed over the entire back surface 22. However, depending on the shape of the three-dimensional structure 20, the impregnated portion A (joint portion) may be formed over most (only a portion) of the back surface 22 rather than the entire surface. In such a clothing component 1A, the fabric 40 and the three-dimensional structure 20 are integrated by impregnation with the soft resin, so that no additional adhesive or the like is required, thereby not reducing breathability and providing a comfortable fit when used as a clothing component. The fabric 40 may be further sewn together to form a cover 30 similar to that shown in FIG.

[0050] The continuous portion 25 consisting of a laminated structure may be omitted, and the continuous portion 25A consisting of one or more filaments may be omitted. When a concentric circular structure is adopted for the entire clothing component or a part thereof (periphery), the above-mentioned end points do not occur, and therefore the continuous portion is not necessary.

[0051] A clothing member may be provided in which the front surface 21 and the back surface 22 are flat (planar), or in which the front surface 21 and the back surface 22 are curved, such as convex (bulging) surfaces. A clothing member may be provided in which the front surface 21 and / or the back surface 22 are wavy curved surfaces. A clothing member may be provided in which one or more protrusions are formed on the front surface 21 and / or the back surface 22.

[0052] (Example) Using resin materials with Shore hardnesses of A0, A65, and A95, samples were fabricated by additive manufacturing into pad shapes, and comparisons were made of their wearing comfort (touch and texture), breathability, and durability. The resin material used was a styrene-based elastomer resin. The shape was the same as that of existing pads for replacing resected breasts. The three-dimensional structure 20 had a gyroid structure, and samples were fabricated with an infill density set to various values ​​in the range of 5 to 90% shown in Figure 7. A continuous section 25 made of a laminated structure was also provided (see Figure 4(b)).

[0053] Breathability was measured using a KES air permeability tester. Wearing comfort was also evaluated by post-mastectomy subjects. Wearing comfort was evaluated using samples with an infill density of 30% to 40% and a Shore hardness of A0 resin material. Evaluations of infill densities of 20% or less and 50% or more were based on tactile comparison with conventional pads. Durability was evaluated by a forced donning / dosing test, in which the pads were subjected to stress for the normal service life of post-surgery breast pads. A 20-day long-term wear evaluation test was also conducted with 12 subjects wearing existing post-surgery breast pads (silicone and urethane pads) using a sample with an infill density of 35%. (Samples with infill densities other than 35% were rated as "×" if they broke under stress equivalent to that of using the pad.)

[0054] The test results showed that, when measured by Shore hardness, the softness of the samples followed a similar trend to that of the resin material, with Shore hardness A0, A65, and A95 being the softest (A0 > A65 > A95). It was also found that even with a resin material with a Shore hardness of A95, a usable softness could be achieved by lowering the infill density to approximately 7%. As shown in Figure 7, when measured by infill density, samples with an infill density of 70% or higher tended to have lower breathability due to the reduced void space in the three-dimensional structure. However, compared to existing products, these samples exhibited superior breathability. Furthermore, samples with an infill density of 80% or higher had even fewer void spaces in the three-dimensional structure, which was deemed insufficient in terms of breathability for use as a pad.

[0055] For a sample with a Shore hardness of A0 and an infill density of 35%, the airflow resistance was 0.002 (kPa·s / m) without a cover and 0.042 (kPa·s / m) with a cover. Compared to existing pads, which all had no cover, the airflow resistance was 0.340 (kPa·s / m) for the nonwoven fabric pad, 2.38 (kPa·s / m) for the urethane pad, and over 250 (kPa·s / m) for the silicone pad, it was found that the breathability of the sample was significantly improved.

[0056] Regarding comfort, there was no noticeable difference in weight between infill densities of 30% and 40%, but an infill density of 35% provided the optimal softness and fit.Specific comments included "It's light, easy, and comfortable," "It fits snugly against the skin," "It doesn't cause stiff shoulders," "It doesn't slip," "It fits well around the sides," and "The bottom of the cup is flat and comfortable."

[0057] Regarding durability, as shown in Figure 7, no damage or defects were observed in the pads of samples with an infill density of 10% or more, demonstrating good durability. Overall, particularly good results were obtained in the infill density range of 30-60%, and good results were obtained in the infill density range of 20-70%. Although durability issues may arise when the infill density is 10% or less, durability can be expected to be met by using a resin material with a Shore hardness of A65 or higher. While comfort and breathability may be an issue when the infill density is 80% or more, comfort and breathability can be expected to be met by using a resin material with a Shore hardness of A5 or lower.
