Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a water dripping prevention cover that has a function of preventing water droplets when scooping water by hand, preventing hands, arms, and sleeves from getting wet with water, and also has a function of preventing water from dripping down the arm and wetting the floor.

Background Art

[0002] There are many opportunities to scoop water by hand, such as when washing the face. When scooping water by hand, if not done properly, the water stored on the hand may run down the wrist and arm, causing clothes (especially sleeves) to get wet or water to overflow onto the floor and wet the floor.

[0003] As a means for preventing water dripping, the glove described in Patent Document 1 has a structure in which the entire circumferential surface of the wrist part of the glove is covered with a water-absorbing ring body and is integrally attached by fixing means. This prevents dirty water from dripping down the circumferential surface of the glove onto the upper arm and clothes.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, since the means disclosed in Patent Document 1 is worn as a glove, it is inconvenient when performing the operation of scooping water with bare hands. There are also cases where it is not necessary to wear gloves to perform the work.

[0006] Furthermore, while it absorbs water using a water-absorbing ring molded from a water-absorbing material, there are situations where water absorption is not necessary. For example, if you are working at a sink or washbasin, any dripping water can be drained away immediately. Also, it cannot prevent your sleeves from getting wet.

[0007] This invention has been made in view of these problems, and provides a water drip prevention cover that prevents water from running down the wrist and arm and sticking to or dripping in unexpected places as soon as water is scooped up by hand. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] (1) A water drip prevention cover comprising a ring portion that can be worn on the wrist, and a receiving portion that extends from the periphery of the ring portion and has a groove formed on the hand side when worn.

[0009] The water drip-proof cover of the present invention can be worn on the wrist, and since a groove is formed on the hand side, even if water scooped up by hand tries to run down the wrist or arm, the water is guided to run down the groove, preventing clothing from getting wet or water from dripping onto the floor.

[0010] (2) A water drip prevention cover configured to have a variable diameter for the ring portion.

[0011] According to the water drip-proof cover of the present invention, since the diameter of the ring portion is variable, it can be fitted to the wrist at a desired diameter to accommodate differences in wrist size.

[0012] (3) The groove of the receiving portion is a water drip prevention cover formed by folds along the direction of water fall.

[0013] According to the present invention, a water-drip effect can be achieved with a simple structure that forms grooves by folds, and it is not necessary to use water-absorbing materials.

[0014] (4) A water drip prevention cover that is shaped like a hat, with the ring portion positioned near the top of the hat's crown. (5) A drip prevention cover that is shaped like a hat and has the groove disposed on the circumferential surface of the hat peak and / or the brim of the hat.

[0015] According to the present invention, the drip prevention cover shaped like a hat has increased variations due to its design and is fashionable. It is rich in fashionability and forms grooves using the hat peak and the brim of the hat, thereby enhancing the water guiding effect and accelerating drying. [Advantages of the Invention]

[0016] According to the present invention, dripping of water can be prevented by a simple structure in which a ring portion and a receiving portion extending from the periphery of the ring portion are integrally molded. [Brief Description of the Drawings]

[Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention]

[0018] Figure 1 is an external perspective view of the water dripping prevention covers 1 and 2 according to this embodiment. The water dripping prevention cover 1 is composed of a ring portion 11 that can be worn on the wrist and a receiving portion 13 with a groove 12 formed on the hand side when worn. The receiving portion 13 extends downward from the periphery of the ring portion 11 and is integrally formed (Fig. 1(A)). Similarly, the water dripping prevention cover 2 is composed of a ring portion 11 that can be worn on the wrist and a receiving portion 14 with a groove 12 formed on the hand side when worn. The receiving portion 14 extends downward from the periphery of the ring portion 11 and is integrally formed (Fig. 1(B)). The materials of the water dripping prevention covers 1 and 2 are silicone resin, plastic, non-woven fabric, etc., and are not limited.

[0019] Regarding the receiving portions 13 and 14 of the water dripping prevention covers 1 and 2, the receiving portion 13 is triangular, and the receiving portion 14 is square. A groove is formed substantially in the center of both, and a crease is provided so that a concave groove is formed on the hand side when worn. Note that the receiving portion 13 and the receiving portion 14 may be circular or elliptical, and the shape is not limited.

[0020] Figure 2 is a diagram showing another example of the ring portion. The ring portion 11 is annular, but the ring portion 11' has a shape with a part of the ring cut out, and the ring portion 11" has a shape with a cut on the circumferential end face. In order to make it easy to change the diameter of the ring portion, the ring portion can be made of a stretchable silicone resin or a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material, etc., or one end of the notch A can be connected to the other end to adjust the diameter. Also, by forming a plurality of cuts B1 and B2 on the circumferential end face and aligning and locking the cuts B1 - B2 at a desired position, the diameter of the ring portion can be changed. The ring portion can be used in winter as long as it does not make the user feel cold when worn on the wrist, and as long as it is soft and does not make the user feel pressured when worn on the wrist, it is easy for the user to wear. Also, in order not to cause adverse effects on the human body by ingesting the adhered material when washing dishes, etc., a highly safe silicone resin or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material, etc. is adopted.

[0021] The shape of the ring portion 11,11" is preferably elliptical rather than circular. Generally, the cross-section of the human wrist is closer to an ellipse than a perfect circle, so the shape should be one that fits the wrist well. Individual differences in fit can be adjusted by forming the ring portion 11,11" with an elastic material.

[0022] Figure 3 is an external perspective view of the water drip prevention cover 3 according to this embodiment. The water drip prevention cover 3 consists of a ring portion 15 that can be worn on the wrist and a receiving portion 16 with a groove formed on the hand side when worn. The receiving portion 16 is integrally formed by extending downward from the periphery of the ring portion 15. The ring portion 15 is marked with scale lines and numerical values ​​that serve as indicators for cutting to the desired diameter using scissors or the like, and the diameter of the ring portion 15 can be varied to match the size of the wearer's wrist to prevent water from leaking out. In addition to the case where the scale lines and numerical values ​​are marked on the ring portion 15, for example, the scale lines and numerical values ​​may also be marked on the product packaging, or a separate cardboard with scale lines and numerical values ​​may be enclosed in the packaging, or a simple measuring tape may be enclosed in the packaging to make a set.

[0023] Figure 4 illustrates an example of how to use the water drip prevention cover 1 (2 and 3 are similar), which is used by attaching the ring portion 15 to the wrist. A pair is used for both the left and right sides. When attached, the receiving portion 16 has a groove formed on the hand side, so even if water scooped up by the hand runs down the wrist, it can be drained through the groove of the receiving portion 16, thus preventing water from sticking to or dripping in unexpected places.

[0024] Examples of water drip prevention covers that mimic the shape of a hat are shown in Figures 5 to 7. Figure 5 is an external perspective view of the water drip prevention cover 4 (cap type) according to this embodiment, and Figure 6 is an external perspective view of the water drip prevention cover 5 (hut type) according to this embodiment.

[0025] The water drip prevention cover 4 (cap type) shown in Figure 5 has a ring portion 41 that can be attached to the wrist near the top of the cap, and a receiving portion 43 that extends from the periphery of the ring portion 41 and is integrally formed. The receiving portion 43 is cap-shaped and has an umbrella portion 43a corresponding to the belly of the cap, in which grooves 42 that induce water guidance are formed, and a brim portion 43b corresponding to the brim of the cap that extends from the periphery of the umbrella portion 43a and is integrally formed. The umbrella portion 43a has a curved shape with a bulge outward or inward, and covers the sleeve that covers the arm to prevent the sleeve from getting wet. The brim portion 43b may be perpendicular to the umbrella portion 43a to allow water to fall off, or it may be inclined upward relative to the umbrella portion 43a. As shown in Figure 7, the inclination of the brim portion 43b above and below the umbrella portion 43a allows water to easily flow down the inclined brim portion 43b even when the arm is raised while wearing it. The user inserts their wrist into the ring portion 41 of the water drip prevention cover 4 shown in Figure 5, from the back of the paper to the front of the paper, with their palm facing forward and the sleeve facing backward.

[0026] The water drip prevention cover 5 (hut type) shown in Figure 6 consists of a ring portion 51 that can be attached to the wrist near the top of the cap, and a receiving portion 53 that extends from the periphery of the ring portion 51 and is integrally formed. The receiving portion 53 is hut-shaped and has an umbrella portion 53a that has a bulge corresponding to the side of the cap, and a brim portion 53b that extends from the periphery of the umbrella portion 53a and is integrally formed, corresponding to the brim of the cap. The umbrella portion 53a has a curved shape with a bulge on the outside or on the inside, and covers the sleeve that covers the arm to prevent the sleeve from getting wet with water. The brim portion 53b may be perpendicular to the umbrella portion 53a to allow water to fall off, or it may be inclined up or down relative to the umbrella portion 53a. The awning portion 53b has intermittently formed grooves 42 that induce water flow, so that water from the umbrella portion 53a is guided into the grooves 42 and flows out from the awning portion 53b. The user inserts their wrist into the ring portion 51 of the water drip prevention cover 5 shown in Figure 6, from the back of the paper to the front of the paper, with their palm facing forward and the sleeve facing backward.

[0027] The water-repellent covers 4 and 5 shown in Figures 5 to 7 are easier to attach than the water-repellent covers 1, 2, and 3 shown in Figures 1 to 4, and their cap-type or hut-type shapes improve the design. The hut-type is preferable for clothing with loose sleeves, and the increased variety in design makes it more fashionable. Although the size of the visor 43 and 53 differs between the larger hut-type and the smaller cap-type, the shape of the crown of the hat is unified, allowing the large and small hats to be stacked together for storage without taking up much space.

[0028] The grooves 12 and 42 are convex or concave grooves, and a groove shape that has a large water-guiding effect is adopted. For example, the convexity can be changed between the umbrella sections 43a and 53a and the visor sections 43b and 53b, or cuts can be made in the middle of the grooves to make them intermittent in order to prevent the water from being blocked along the way. Various changes can be made in consideration of functionality and design, such as the position, direction, angle, and whether the grooves are straight or curved. Also, if the slope of the bulge is large, the grooves in the umbrella sections 43a and 53a are unnecessary, and only the grooves in the visor sections 43b and 53b are needed, as water can be expected to flow by natural fall.

[0029] The grooves 42 shown in Figures 5 and 6 are formed radially around the ring portions 41 and 51, allowing water to be guided and properly flowed into the sink, etc. However, as mentioned above, it is necessary to make the grooves themselves the optimal shape depending on the specific part and usage situation. By forming the grooves 42 so that they face the overhang portions 43 and 53, for example, when raising the upper body from a bent-over position, water can be properly guided to the front side so that it does not flow outwards while rinsing the face and trying to stand up. [Industrial applicability]
