Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a patch attachment garment that allows for easy attachment of patches, such as electrical stimulation patches, to the thighs, buttocks, etc., for rehabilitation and physical therapy. Background Technology

[0003] Recently, there has been an increasing trend in the use of electrode patches (hereinafter referred to as "patches") for functional electrical stimulation (FES) or electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) for rehabilitation and physical therapy.

[0004] Conventional patches typically attach to the skin using adhesive force, but this force decreases with use, causing them to fail to adhere well to the skin. Additionally, since body parts such as the thighs and buttocks have many curves, securing the patch was difficult, leading to the patch easily falling off even with slight movements.

[0005] In addition, there was a problem where the accuracy of patch placement was reduced because each therapist had a different perspective on the body part, which led to a decrease in treatment consistency.

[0006] In addition, there was a problem where patients avoided treatment because the skin on the thighs or buttocks had to be exposed when applying patches at hospitals.

[0007] For reference, the following prior art documents consist of four recent prior art documents found by searching for "treatment*clothing" on the KIPRIS patent information network. By referring to the following prior art documents, one can understand the technical field, background technology, and the state of development regarding the present invention. Prior art literature

[0009] Published Patent Application 10-2025-0008743 Published Patent Application 10-20230-166130 Registered Patent Application 10-1098026 Registered Utility Model Application 20-0389941 The problem to be solved

[0010] The present invention was developed to solve the problems of the prior art mentioned in the background art. In particular, the purpose of the present invention is to address the issue of making it easy to attach, fix, and accurately position the patch, and to prevent the inner tissue from being exposed. means of solving the problem

[0012] The present invention proposes a means for solving a problem by making cuts in the front and back thighs, buttocks, and sides of the buttocks of a garment in the form of shorts made of a stretchable material, configuring a cover to cover the cuts, and joining the edges of the cuts and the edges of the cover to each other so as to attach a patch to the cuts of the garment so as to be in close contact with the skin, and then covering the cover to fix the patch. Effects of the invention

[0014] According to the means of the present invention, the adhesive strength of the patch is reduced as in the conventional method, and even in areas with many curves, the patch can be easily attached and fixed, thereby enabling activities such as exercise. Furthermore, by attaching the patch within the incision, the accuracy of the patch attachment position is improved, thereby enhancing the consistency of treatment. Additionally, by covering the patch attachment site with a cover, the inner flesh of the thighs or buttocks is not exposed, thereby resolving the problem of patients avoiding treatment.

[0017] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings.However, the attached drawings may be exaggerated, omitted, or depicted schematically for the convenience of explaining the essential parts; terms and names used in the description may be implicitly determined by the shape, function, or role of the components rather than their dictionary meanings; descriptions regarding direction are determined based on the direction first presented in the first drawing, and descriptions regarding position are determined based on the center of each component or the center of a circle. Furthermore, detailed descriptions of previously registered known technologies and ordinary technologies may be omitted or replaced with simple symbols or names to avoid obscuring the essentials. Additionally, detailed descriptions of the specific structure, shape, form, arrangement, size, correlation lines, etc., of a component identifiable through the drawings, as well as the operation of the component and its resulting effects that can be inferred from the drawings, may be omitted as they may obscure the essentials. Bolts, welds, holes, etc., applied for joining components may also be omitted from the drawings as they may obscure the essentials. Unless the shape of a component is specifically designated, the planar shape is circular or rectangular, and in such cases, the plan view may be omitted.

[0019] below, Fig. 1 inside Fig. 4 The present invention will be described with reference as follows.

[0020] As described above, the present invention comprises: a garment in the form of shorts (10) made of a flexible material or a general material to fit the user's body size; an incision (12) that is cut to allow a patch (a) to be attached to the front and back thighs, buttocks, and side of the buttocks of the garment (10); a cover (11) formed on the top of the incision (12) to cover the incision (12); and a connecting member (13) installed to connect the edge of the incision (12) and the edge of the cover (11) to each other.

[0021] The above configuration is used by attaching a patch (a) to the cut (12) of the garment (10) so as to be in close contact with the skin, and then covering the cut (12) with a cover (11) so that the patch (a) is fixed.

[0022] By doing this, the adhesive strength of the patch (a) is reduced compared to conventional methods, and the patch (a) can be easily attached and fixed even in areas with many curves, thereby enabling activities such as exercise. Furthermore, by attaching the patch (a) within the incision (12), the accuracy of the patch (a) attachment location is improved, thereby improving the consistency of treatment. Additionally, by covering the patch (a) attachment area with a cover (11), the inner flesh of the thigh or buttocks does not need to be exposed.

[0023] More specifically, the garment (10) is preferably made of a stretchable material such as spandex.

[0024] By doing this, the curve of the body part is revealed as is, and the attachment site of the patch (a) is accurately revealed, and accordingly, the attachment position of the patch (a) can be accurately determined, and the patch (a) can be compressed to facilitate fixation.

[0025] In addition, the above garment (10) can be made of general materials and formed in a loose shape.

[0026] By doing this, it is comfortable as it does not constrict the body compared to elastic materials, and it is convenient to put on and take off the garment. It is also convenient to manufacture the garment, allowing it to be produced at a low cost.

[0027] Additionally, the connecting member (13) may be made of Velcro, snap buttons, buttons, zippers, etc., installed along the edge of the cut portion (12) and the edge of the cover (11).

[0028] By doing this, the cover (11) can be easily attached or detached from the cut portion (12) or opened and closed.

[0029] The configuration as described above makes it convenient to use a patch (a) in which the conventional patch (a) and the terminal (30) are configured as a single set.

[0031] Meanwhile, conventionally, since the patch (a) and the terminal (30) are configured as a set and must be attached individually to the body parts, there is a problem that the attachment time is long, and there is also a problem that the number of patches (a) that can be attached is significantly small.

[0033] To this end, the present invention may include a belt (20) formed to be worn on a user's waist; a rechargeable terminal (30) installed on the belt (20) to drive multiple patches (a) at once; and a cable (31) connected from the terminal (30) to each patch (a).

[0034] When including the above configuration, multiple patches (a) can be attached at once to the skin within the cut portion (12) of the garment (10), then a cover (11) is placed over the cut portion (12) to secure the patches (a), then a cable (31) is connected between each patch (a) and the terminal (30), and then the patch (a) can be operated by driving the terminal (30) of the belt (20).

[0035] By doing this, compared to a conventional set-type patch (a), multiple patches (a) can be operated at once through a single terminal (30), the time required to attach patches (a) to each part is shortened, and a large number of patches (a) can be attached.

[0036] When including the above configuration, the connecting member (13) is preferably made of one of Velcro or a snap button.

[0037] By doing this, it is easy to attach and detach the cover (11) from the cut portion (12), and also has the effect of easily allowing the cable (31), which will be described below, to be pulled out and fixed from the patch (a).

[0039] With that, the description of the present invention is concluded.This invention provides drawings of the configuration and specific components included therein to facilitate understanding of the principles of the configuration sought in this invention, and explains them based on these drawings.
