Description

Multi-functional absorbent pad using hemp and microcurrent

[0001] The present invention relates to a multi-use functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrent, and more specifically, to a multi-use functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrent that absorbs secretions discharged from the body regardless of the user's intention and then dries them quickly to enable daily life, and that can be reused repeatedly through washing.

[0002]

[0003] In general, underwear absorbs various secretions such as waste, sweat, and sebum secreted from the skin due to physical activity, keeping the skin always clean and comfortable, eliminating the unpleasant feeling caused by the rough parts of outer clothing directly touching the skin, and smoothing out the friction between the body and heavy outer clothing that occurs whenever you move.

[0004]

[0005] Meanwhile, panty liners or sanitary pads are attached separately to underwear to deal with secretions such as menstrual blood and urine discharged from the skin, and disposable products are widely used for reasons of hygiene and convenience of wearing.

[0006]

[0007] Most of these disposable products consist of an absorbent layer and a cover, and although they are convenient to use, they are expensive, have a negative effect on the user's skin, and pollute the environment.

[0008]

[0009] Additionally, the thickness of the area worn separately from the underwear increases, which causes aesthetic problems, and especially in the summer, problems such as odor due to the heat, bacterial infection due to high humidity, and skin disease can occur.

[0010]

[0011] To compensate for these shortcomings, as shown in Fig. 1, a technology is proposed to prevent the sanitary pad from being exposed to the outside by inserting a sanitary pad wing between the inner and outer fabrics of the double fabric, and to remove odor through multiple ventilation.

[0012]

[0013] However, these underwear have the problem that the sanitary pad needs to be replaced, and the moisture or secretions of the wearer can seep into the double fabric, causing the secretions to leak out of the underwear over time, and because they do not dry, there is a problem that the secretions are absorbed and cause discomfort and discomfort in daily life.

[0014]

[0015] The purpose of the present invention to solve the above problems is to provide a multi-use functional absorbent pad using hemp and microcurrent that can quickly absorb secretions when secretions are discharged and prevent odor from being generated by the absorbed secretions, thereby allowing one to maintain activity without having to change underwear.

[0016]

[0017] In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-use functional absorbent pad using hemp and microcurrent, which can quickly dry the moisture of absorbed secretions, reduce the weight of underwear, and prevent infection or skin disease of the skin in contact with it.

[0018]

[0019] In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-use functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrents that can improve immunity and alleviate hormonal imbalance, atopy, and menstrual pain by electrically stimulating the area around the genitals through microcurrents.

[0020]

[0021] The present invention for solving the above problem comprises a multi-functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrent, characterized in that it comprises an absorbent layer formed of a lyocell material that can absorb and accommodate secretions, a hemp layer formed on the upper portion of the absorbent layer and deodorizing, drying, and antibacterializing the absorbent layer in which secretions have been absorbed, a skin contact layer formed on the upper portion of the hemp layer and preventing the hemp layer from contacting the skin and damaging the skin due to friction, and a waterproof layer formed on the lower portion of the absorbent layer and covering the absorbent layer and the hemp layer to prevent secretions absorbed in the absorbent layer from leaking to the outside.

[0022]

[0023] In addition, the multi-use functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrent of the present invention is characterized by further including a functional layer formed to be detachably attached to the upper portion of the skin contact layer and having a functional material coated on the surface so that it can be absorbed into the skin when in contact with the skin.

[0024]

[0025] In addition, the multi-use functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrent of the present invention is characterized in that it further includes a microcurrent portion formed on the skin contact layer and generating microcurrent and far-infrared rays when in contact with the skin.

[0026]

[0027] In addition, the microcurrent portion of the multi-use functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrent of the present invention is characterized in that it is formed by printing conductive ink in a honeycomb structure on the surface of the skin contact layer or attaching a conductive fabric.

[0028]

[0029] In addition, the hemp layer of the multi-use functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrent of the present invention is characterized in that it is formed by blending hemp yarn and lyocell yarn.

[0030]

[0031] In addition, the hemp layer of the multi-use functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrent of the present invention is characterized in that it is impregnated with an aqueous solution containing hemp components so that the hemp components are absorbed into other yarns blended with the hemp yarn.

[0032]

[0033] In addition, the present invention is characterized in that it further includes a cover layer formed on the lower part of the waterproof layer of the multi-use functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrent, which protects the waterproof layer and prevents the waterproof layer from being contaminated or damaged from the outside.

[0034]

[0035] As described above, the multi-use functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrent according to the present invention has the effect of quickly absorbing secretions when secretions are discharged, preventing odor from being generated by the absorbed secretions, and allowing for maintaining activity without having to change underwear.

[0036]

[0037] In addition, according to the multi-use functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrent according to the present invention, the moisture of absorbed secretions is quickly dried, thereby reducing the weight of underwear and preventing infection or skin disease of the skin in contact.

[0038]

[0039] In addition, according to the multi-functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrent according to the present invention, it is effective in improving immunity and alleviating hormonal imbalance, atopy, and menstrual pain by electrically stimulating the area around the genitals through microcurrent.

[0056] The specific features and advantages of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. If a detailed description of the functions and configurations of the present invention is deemed to unnecessarily obscure the gist of the invention, the detailed description will be omitted.

[0057]

[0058] The present invention relates to a multi-use functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrent, and more specifically, to a multi-use functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrent that absorbs secretions discharged from the body regardless of the user's intention and then dries them quickly to enable daily life, and that can be reused repeatedly through washing.

[0059]

[0060] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0061]

[0062] Figure 2 is a front view showing the layer structure of a multi-use functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrent according to the present invention.

[0063]

[0064] As illustrated in FIG. 2, the multi-use functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrent according to the present invention is characterized by including an absorbent layer (100) formed of a lyocell material that can absorb and accommodate secretions, a hemp layer (200) formed on the upper portion of the absorbent layer (100) to deodorize, dry, and antibacterialize the absorbent layer (100) in which secretions have been absorbed, a skin contact layer (300) formed on the upper portion of the hemp layer (200) to prevent the hemp layer (200) from contacting the skin and to prevent skin damage due to friction, and a waterproof layer (400) formed on the lower portion of the absorbent layer (100) to cover the absorbent layer (100) and the hemp layer (200) to prevent secretions absorbed in the absorbent layer (100) from leaking to the outside.

[0065]

[0066] It is characterized in that it further includes a cover layer (not shown) formed at the bottom of the waterproof layer (400) to protect the waterproof layer (400) and prevent the waterproof layer (400) from being contaminated or damaged from the outside.

[0067]

[0068] The absorbent layer (100) is a fabric formed using lyocell material, and has a high moisture absorption capacity, so it can effectively absorb and store secretions such as urine and menstrual blood discharged from the body, and can be used as a substitute for disposable incontinence products or sanitary products.

[0069]

[0070] At this time, it is preferable to form a fiber yarn using eucalyptus tree or beech tree extract as the lyocell material, and by weaving this fiber yarn into a fabric, an absorbent layer (100) can be formed.

[0071]

[0072] The hemp layer (200) is a fabric formed by weaving yarn produced using hemp seeds, and is formed on top of the absorbent layer (100). It is formed so that only a portion of the secretions flowing down from the top can be absorbed and passed through the absorbent layer (100).

[0073]

[0074] That is, it is preferable that the hemp layer (200) be formed with a low density by providing ventilation holes so that secretions can pass through the absorbent layer (100) or by weaving it in a knitted form in which the warp and weft yarns intersect one another.

[0075]

[0076] In addition, the hemp layer (200) contains hemp ingredients, so it has antibacterial and deodorizing properties, and can remove odors caused by secretions. It has excellent breathability and has a moisture absorption and discharge ability that is 20 times faster than cotton, so it can quickly dry secretions absorbed in the skin contact layer (300) and absorption layer (100) to maintain comfort, and it has good sturdiness and durability, so it can have strong resistance to external impact.

[0077]

[0078] The skin contact layer (300) and the absorption layer (100) adjacent to the hemp layer (200) can prevent the odor of secretions from leaking to the outside through the antibacterial and deodorizing effects of the hemp layer (200), and can prevent the occurrence of skin diseases by suppressing the growth of bacteria due to secretions in the skin contact layer (300).

[0079]

[0080] In addition, since the moisture of the secretion absorbed by the breathability of the hemp layer (200) can be quickly dried, the moisture of the skin contact layer (300) or absorbent layer (100) adjacent to the hemp layer (200) is reabsorbed by the hemp layer (200) and the moisture is released into the air, thereby drying the skin contact layer (300) and the absorbent layer (100).

[0081]

[0082] The skin contact layer (300) prevents the rough texture of the hemp layer (200) from touching the skin, thereby preventing skin diseases caused by friction between the hemp layer (200) and the skin when performing activities that require a lot of movement, such as daily life or exercise.

[0083]

[0084] The skin contact layer (300) is formed of polyester, a hydrophobic material, so it is durable and has excellent elasticity, does not wrinkle, and dries quickly due to non-absorbency, so when secretions are discharged, the secretions can quickly pass through the skin contact layer (300).

[0085]

[0086] As the secretion passes through the skin contact layer (300), the secretion remaining on the surface is absorbed by the hemp layer (200), and due to the characteristics of polyester, the skin contact layer (300) can quickly dry after the secretion is discharged.

[0087]

[0088] The waterproof layer (400) is formed on the lower part of the absorbent layer (100) and has an open upper part so that the absorbent layer (100) and the hemp layer (200) can be inserted inside, thereby preventing secretions absorbed in the absorbent layer (100) and the hemp layer (200) from leaking out in the lateral and downward directions.

[0089]

[0090] The waterproof layer (400) is formed of polyester material, and the waterproof layer (400) can be formed by applying a waterproof material to the surface of the waterproof layer (400) or bonding a fabric made of polyurethane, silicone, or fluoropolymer material to the outer surface.

[0091]

[0092] If necessary, the waterproof layer (400) may be formed of polyurethane, silicone, or fluoropolymer materials.

[0093]

[0094] The cover layer (not shown) is used to wrap the outer surface of the waterproof layer (400) to protect the waterproof layer (400) from external impact or contamination, and it is preferable that the cover layer (not shown) wraps the outer surface of the waterproof layer (400) and is connected to the skin contact layer (300) located on top to form a sense of unity, and it is preferable that the cover layer (not shown) and the skin contact layer (300) are joined by sewing or ultrasonic welding.

[0095]

[0096] At this time, the cover layer (not shown) can be underwear to which an absorbent pad is attached or sewn, and can be towels, pants, swimwear, yoga wear, leggings, sports equipment, wet wipes, diapers, sanitary pads, bras, running, socks, clothing, shower towels, and, if necessary, can be used for pets to absorb secretions of non-human pets.

[0097]

[0098] That is, the cover layer (not shown) is preferably formed into a form of clothing that can be worn by a user, and the absorbent pad can be sewn or ultrasonically bonded to such clothing to maintain a bonded state.

[0099]

[0100] The hemp layer (200) is characterized by being formed by mixing hemp yarn and lyocell yarn.

[0101]

[0102] The hemp layer (200) is formed by weaving hemp yarn containing hemp seeds to form a fabric. However, if a fabric made of 100% hemp is used, the unit price is high and there is a limit to how much secretion can be stored, so it is necessary to blend other yarns.

[0103]

[0104] To this end, the hemp layer (200) is woven by mixing hemp yarn manufactured using hemp seeds and lyocell yarn that can absorb and store moisture, thereby allowing the hemp layer (200) to absorb and store some of the secretions and inducing the absorbed secretions to dry quickly due to the characteristics of the hemp material.

[0105]

[0106] At this time, the hemp yarn of the hemp layer (200) is formed at 10 to 40% and the lyocell yarn at 60 to 90%, and the hemp yarn and the lyocell yarn are formed to be woven alternately according to the ratio.

[0107]

[0108] Lyocell yarn can absorb and store secretions, and hemp yarn can deodorize the odor caused by secretions absorbed by the lyocell yarn and suppress bacterial growth through antibacterial action.

[0109]

[0110] Through the lyocell yarn, the hemp layer (200) can maintain the secretion in an absorbed state, and when the moisture of the secretion absorbed by the lyocell yarn evaporates due to the hemp yarn, the moisture contained in the secretion can be quickly dried while reabsorbing the secretion absorbed by the skin contact layer (300) or the absorption layer (100).

[0111]

[0112] The hemp layer (200) is characterized by being impregnated with an aqueous solution containing hemp ingredients so that the hemp ingredients are absorbed into other yarns blended with the hemp yarn.

[0113]

[0114] The hemp layer (200) is formed by weaving hemp yarn and lyocell yarn. Since lyocell yarn only has a high moisture absorption effect, the deodorizing, drying, and antibacterial functions must be expressed in the lyocell yarn as well.

[0115]

[0116] To this end, fabric made by weaving hemp yarn and lyocell yarn is made by freeze-drying hemp seeds, crushing them, forming them into fine particles, diluting them in water, and impregnating them with an aqueous solution containing hemp ingredients so that the hemp ingredients are applied or dyed onto the lyocell yarn, thereby applying the properties of the hemp seeds.

[0117]

[0118] That is, when lyocell yarn absorbs moisture, it can absorb hemp seed particles contained in the moisture, and hemp seed particles are applied or dyed onto the lyocell yarn.

[0119]

[0120] Lyocell yarn coated or dyed with hemp seed microparticles remains in the lyocell yarn even after drying, so although the moisture absorption may be reduced somewhat, it can exhibit the same deodorizing, drying, and antibacterial functions as hemp yarn.

[0121]

[0122] If necessary, a hemp layer (200) can be formed by impregnating lyocell yarn with an aqueous solution containing hemp ingredients without hemp yarn, so that hemp seed particles are applied or dyed onto the lyocell yarn.

[0123]

[0124] FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a microcurrent portion (500) of a multi-use functional absorbent pad using hemp and microcurrent according to the present invention formed of a conductive fabric, and FIG. 4 is a plan view showing a printed microcurrent portion (500) of a multi-use functional absorbent pad using hemp and microcurrent according to the present invention.

[0125]

[0126] As illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the multi-use functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrent according to the present invention is characterized in that it further includes a microcurrent section (500) formed on a skin contact layer (300) and generating microcurrent and far-infrared rays when in contact with the skin.

[0127]

[0128] In addition, the microcurrent section (500) is characterized by being formed by printing conductive ink in a honeycomb structure on the surface of the skin contact layer (300) or attaching a conductive fabric.

[0129]

[0130] The microcurrent unit (500) is used to alleviate hormonal imbalance, atopic symptoms, menstrual pain, and waste care by promoting blood circulation by contacting the genitals and the surrounding skin and using microcurrent and far-infrared rays.

[0131]

[0132] It is preferable that the microcurrent unit (500) uses graphene in which carbon atoms have a hexagonal honeycomb structure, and by utilizing the high conductivity, electron mobility, and thermal conductivity of graphene, microcurrent can be generated around the genitals.

[0133]

[0134] The microcurrent unit (500) can generate microcurrents by friction between skin and bioelectricity generated in the human body, and radiates microcurrents and far-infrared rays to the genitals and surrounding skin that come into contact with the skin through graphene.

[0135]

[0136] In order to form graphene on the skin contact layer (300), a method of printing conductive ink containing graphene on the surface of the skin contact layer (300) can be used, or a method of attaching a conductive fabric printed with graphene to the skin contact layer (300) can be used.

[0137]

[0138] As shown in Fig. 4, it is desirable to form a detachable adhesive material on the back of the conductive fabric containing graphene so that the user can selectively attach the conductive fabric to a desired location, and the conductive fabric is formed in a circular shape so that the attachment location or number can be adjusted according to the user's taste or preference.

[0139]

[0140] As shown in Fig. 5, when printing graphene, it is desirable to form the graphene so that it is printed in a honeycomb structure around the area that comes into contact with the genitals, so that secretions can pass through the honeycomb structure.

[0141]

[0142] In addition, when using a printing method, hemp seed fine particles can be selectively mixed into the conductive ink and printed together as needed, thereby enabling the deodorizing, drying, and antibacterial functions to be expressed in the skin contact layer (300) without the rough feel of hemp fabric.

[0143]

[0144] FIG. 5 is a plan view showing a functional layer (600) of a multi-use functional absorbent pad using hemp and microcurrent according to the present invention, and FIG. 6 is an exemplary view showing a functional layer (600) attached to a multi-use functional absorbent pad using hemp and microcurrent according to the present invention.

[0145]

[0146] As illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, the multi-use functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrent according to the present invention is formed to be detachably attached to the upper portion of the skin contact layer (300) and further includes a functional layer (600) coated with a functional material on the surface so that it can be absorbed into the skin when in contact with the skin.

[0147]

[0148] The functional layer (600) is used to supply a functional material to the genitals and the skin around the genitals, and is formed of a material through which secretions can pass, has a functional material applied to the upper surface, and has an adhesive component formed on the lower surface so as to be attached to the skin contact layer (300).

[0149]

[0150] Here, the functional material is applied with a drug to treat skin diseases that occur around the genitals when it comes into contact with the genitals, or collagen, nutrients, and whitening ingredients for skin beauty are applied around the genitals.

[0151]

[0152] To prevent the functional material from being contaminated or deteriorated, any of the following methods can be used: applying a powder form, applying a cream or liquid form and then drying it, or impregnating the functional layer (600) in an aqueous solution containing the functional material and then dyeing it.

[0153]

[0154] The functional material applied to the functional layer (600) must be maintained in a moisture-free state, and the functional material can be gradually dissolved by moisture on the skin surface when in contact with the skin and absorbed into the skin surface.

[0155]

[0156] In addition, it is desirable to prevent foreign substances from being mixed into the functional material and adhesive component through a protective film on the upper and lower surfaces of the functional layer (600).

[0157]

[0158] When the protective film formed on the functional layer (600) is removed, the functional layer (600) can be attached to the upper part of the skin contact layer (300). At this time, the functional layer (600) is provided with an opening (610) to allow the microcurrent section (500) to be exposed to the outside.

[0159]

[0160] That is, the microcurrent portion (500) can be exposed to the outside through the opening (610), so that it can come into direct contact with the skin and can be used together with the functional layer (600).

[0161]

[0162] In addition, it is preferable that the functional layer (600) be formed in a mesh shape or have ventilation holes so that the secretions can move smoothly to the skin contact layer (300) when secretions are discharged, so that the secretions can quickly pass through the functional layer (600).

[0163]

[0164] The most ideal method is to configure the functional layer (600) to gradually dissolve when it comes into contact with the skin and the moisture generated from the skin, so that the functional material is absorbed into the skin, and when secretions are discharged, the secretions are secondarily dissolved by the secretions, so that the secretions quickly move toward the absorption layer (100) through the skin contact layer (300).

[0165]

[0166] In addition, the functional layer (600) can be formed of gold-colored Korean paper containing plant-based collagen, and elasticity can be improved by supplying plant-based collagen to the area in contact with the skin through gold-colored Korean paper.

[0167]

[0168] As described above, according to the multi-functional absorbent pad utilizing hemp and microcurrent according to the present invention, when secretions are discharged, the secretions are quickly absorbed, and the absorbed secretions prevent odor from being generated, so that one can maintain activity without having to change underwear, the moisture of the absorbed secretions is quickly dried, so that the weight of the underwear is reduced, and infection or skin disease of the contacting skin can be prevented, and the microcurrent electrically stimulates the area around the genitals, thereby improving immunity and alleviating hormonal imbalance, atopy, and menstrual pain.

[0169]

[0170] While the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and variations can be made to the invention without departing from the technical spirit and scope described in the claims. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be construed in accordance with the claims, which are intended to encompass these numerous modifications.
