JP6391648B2 - Urine absorption pad and pants equipped with the same - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a urine absorbing pad to be used by being worn on a male pant, and a pant provided with the same.

Incontinence pants for men who are concerned about urine leakage when going out are generally composed of a pant body and a urine absorbing pad. The urine absorbing pad is disposed so as to cover the genitals in the vicinity of the inner crotch of the pant body. As the urine absorbing pad, for example, disposable paper ones can be used.

  In the pants having the urine absorbing pad as described above, the urine absorbing pad must be replaced every time urine leakage occurs, and may be replaced several times a day. For this reason, in the case of a disposable urine absorption pad, the cost burden is increased by frequent replacement. In addition, when a cloth reusable pad is used, the replacement frequency is high and the replacement work becomes complicated. In particular, in situations where the pads cannot be frequently replaced, for example, when traveling, playing golf, or working at a construction site, it is extremely inconvenient to carry many pads.

  The present invention has been made in view of the situation as described above, and by reducing the frequency of replacement of the urine absorption pad, the urine absorption pad that reduces cost and improves convenience, and the same are used. The purpose is to provide pants.

  In order to solve the problems as described above, the present invention is a urine absorption pad that is used by being worn on a male pant, and is located on the rear side of the pant and the first water-absorbing region located on the front side of the pant. A water-absorbing second region and an intermediate region formed between the first region and the second region are provided. The intermediate region protrudes to the surface (the genital side of the user or the crotch side) more than the first and second regions, and has a front surface on the first region side and a rear surface on the second region side. Molded.

  With the above configuration, the first area and the second area separated by the intermediate area can be used separately. That is, since the intermediate region protrudes, it is difficult for leaked urine to reach the other region from one region between the first region and the second region. As a result, the same pad can be used twice, for example, for 24 hours a day by changing the orientation of the pad. Note that the timing of the first and second switching in the pad of the present invention can be adjusted as appropriate depending on the degree of incontinence of the user and the preference of the user. In short, the greatest advantage of the present invention is that a single pad can be used twice.

  For example, in the first use, the rear surfaces of the second area and the intermediate area are used. When there is urine leakage, that is, at the time of second use, the front surfaces of the first region and the intermediate region can be used with the direction of the absorption pad reversed. For example, about 12 hours of use in a day can be the first, and the remaining 12 hours of use can be the second.

  Alternatively, in the first use, the intermediate region is used by being tilted in one direction, either forward or backward. When there is urine leakage, that is, in the second use, the intermediate region can be used by tilting it forward or backward in the other direction.

  Here, the intermediate region can be formed by double folding around the center of the absorbent sheet. And the said intermediate | middle area | region can be formed by sewing or adhering the base vicinity of the said absorption sheet | seat piled up.

  The urine absorption pad according to the present invention can be directly fixed to the inside of the pants.

  Moreover, the holding member fixed in the state suspended over the front and back of the crotch is provided inside the trunks-type pants, and the urine absorbing pad can be detachably fixed to the holding member.

  In the present invention, the intermediate region protrudes to the surface more than the first and second regions, for example, when the vicinity of the center of the rectangular water absorbent sheet is picked up to form a protrusion (wall shape) or absorption There are cases where the thickness of the sheet near the center itself is increased and the sheet is raised, or a water-absorbing member forming an intermediate region is retrofitted as a separate member.

  A commercially available paper pad can be used as the urine absorbing pad. However, it is also possible to create a new dedicated pad and employ it.

The “front surface” of the intermediate region means, for example, a surface (wall surface) facing the first region when the intermediate region extends vertically upward from the surface of the absorbent pad. Similarly, the “rear surface” of the intermediate region means, for example, a surface (wall surface) facing the second region when the intermediate region extends vertically upward from the surface of the absorbent pad.

Hereinafter, the urine absorption pad and the incontinence pants according to the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a configuration of a light incontinence pant 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an internal side view showing the configuration of the pants 10 for light incontinence. The light incontinence pant 10 includes a trunks-type pant main body 12 in which a urination window 18 that can be opened and closed is formed near the front center, and a water-absorbing support member 16 disposed inside the main body 12. Yes. In addition, FIG. 1 shows the whole image of the pants, and the illustration of the urine absorption pad (100) which is the main part of the present invention is omitted.

  In the present invention, the support member 16 is not necessarily required, but is a preferable configuration in terms of being convenient for mounting the urine absorbing pad (100) and absorbing urine leaking from the pad (100). . For the purpose of merely holding the urine absorbing pad (100), it is also possible to use a simple belt-like cloth with poor water absorption as the support member (16). When the support member 16 itself is omitted, the urine absorption pad 100 is directly attached to the inside of the pant body 12.

  The pant body 12 is manufactured using, for example, cotton 40 count yarn in consideration of water absorption and touch. The support member 16 has an incision 24 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) that can be opened and closed at a position corresponding to the urination window 18 of the pant body 12. The support member 16 is used in a state where both front and rear end portions are fixed to the waist portion 14 of the pant main body portion 12 and suspended in a U shape. Due to the presence of the support member 16, not only the support member 16 itself but also the urine absorption pad (100) always fits between the crotch, which is significant for prevention of urine leakage.

  The support member 16 includes an absorbent body 20 disposed around the wearer's genitals and a support portion 22 made of a stretchable mesh material that supports the absorbent body 20. The support member 16 has a narrowest portion corresponding to the crotch portion of the wearer and has a shape that widens toward the front and rear ends. Since the support portion 22 has elasticity, even when the wearer exercises vigorously, the crotch can be securely held and used without a sense of incongruity.

  The absorber 20 has a three-layer structure of (1) a waterproof film, (2) a deodorizing / water-absorbing nonwoven fabric, and (2) a material having an absorption / diffusion / backflow preventing function from the outside. As shown in FIG. 3, the absorbent body 20 has a front (upper side in the drawing) end portion that is bifurcated to form left and right side portions.

  A urine absorption pad 100 described later is disposed inside the support member 16. When the pad 100 is used and the urine absorption is sufficient, the absorber 20 can be omitted. Here, as the urine absorption pad 100, a disposable paper or a cloth that can be repeatedly used after washing can be used.

  Since the urine absorbing pad 100 needs to absorb urine efficiently, the urine absorbing pad 100 is located near the genitals of the pants wearer, and the urination window 18 is not completely blocked so as not to disturb the normal urination operation. Is preferred.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the support member 16 is fixed to the pant body 12 in a state in which both side portions of the absorbent body 20 are three-dimensionally overlapped. Thereby, a cut 24 having a three-dimensionally superimposed structure is formed at a position corresponding to the urination window 18 of the pant body 12. When the wearer urinates, urination is performed by exposing the genitals through the notch 24 of the support member 16 and the urination window 18 of the pants body 12.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing the structure of the urine absorbing pad 100 and the incontinence pants 10 using the same according to the embodiment of the present invention. (A) shows the three-dimensional shape of the urine absorption pad 100, (B) shows the plane (upper surface) shape of the pad 100, (C) shows the back surface of the pad 100, and (D) shows the pad 100. The side shape is shown.

  The urine absorption pad 100 according to the present embodiment includes a first water-absorbing region 100a located on the front side of the pants 10, a second water-absorbing region 100b located on the rear side of the pants 10, and the first region 100a. And an intermediate region 100c formed between the second region 100b. A waterproof base sheet 102 is provided under the first region, the second region, and the intermediate region (100a, 100b, 100c).

  Reference numeral 108 in FIG. 4C is an adhesive tape for fixing the urine absorption pad 100 to the holding member 16 or the inner surface of the pant body 12. The urine absorption pad 100 can be fixed by hooking cloths such as Velcro (registered trademark) or holding by friction in addition to the adhesive tape.

  As clearly shown in FIG. 4A, the intermediate region 100c protrudes from the surface of the pad, and a pad front surface 106a on the first region 100a side and a pad rear surface 106b on the second region 100b side are formed. . The intermediate region 100c can be formed by double folding around the center of the absorbent sheet. And the shape is hold | maintained by sewing 104 the base vicinity of the piled up absorption sheet. Instead of sewing, the intermediate region 100c can be formed by bonding the pad inner surface with an adhesive.

  FIG. 4E shows the inside (back side) of the pants 100 before the urine absorbing pad 100 is attached, and FIG. 4F shows the state where the pad 100 is attached.

  In the present invention, the presence of the protruding intermediate region 100c makes it possible to use the first region 100a and the second region 100b separated by the intermediate region 100c separately.

  Here, when the intermediate region 100c is used without being laid down (not laid down), it is difficult for leaked urine to reach the other region from the first region 100a and the second region 100b. . Therefore, the pad 100 can be used twice before and after by changing the direction of the pad 100 or the like.

  FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the usage state of the urine absorbing pad 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, where (A) is seen from diagonally forward, and (B) and (C) are seen obliquely from the rear. Show the state. In the example shown in FIG. 5, when the urine absorption pad 100 is used for the first time, as shown in FIG. At this time, urine is absorbed by the pad front surface 106a of the first region 100a and the intermediate region 100c. Then, when the second use is performed in a situation such as when there is actually urine leakage, as shown in (C), the intermediate region 100c is tilted forward and the second use (reuse) is performed. To do. At this time, urine is absorbed by the pad rear surface 106b of the first region 100b and the intermediate region 100c.

  6 (A) and 6 (B) are schematic explanatory views showing another usage pattern of the urine absorption pad according to the embodiment of the present invention. In addition, illustration of the waterproof base sheet 102 is abbreviate | omitted for convenience of explanation. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the first and second use was performed without removing the urine absorption pad 100 once attached to the pants 10, but in the example shown in FIG. 6, the orientation of the urine absorption pad 100 is changed to the first time. And the second time.

  When the urine absorbing pad 100 is used for the first time, as shown in FIG. 5A, urine is absorbed in the range 200 of the pad rear surface 106b of the second region 100b and the intermediate region 100c. Then, when the second use is performed in a situation such as when there is actually urine leakage, the first region 100a and the intermediate region are reversed with the absorbent pad 100 turned back and forth as shown in FIG. A pad front surface 106a of 100c is used.

As mentioned above, although the Example of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to these Examples at all, It can change in the category of the technical idea shown by the claim. For example, the urine absorption pad 100 can be used by being directly fixed to the inside of the pant body 12. In this case, the support member can be omitted, and it is possible to use the urine absorption pad 100 according to the present invention by attaching the urine absorption pad 100 according to the present invention to a general commercially available pant instead of a special pant, and the burden on the cost of the user is remarkably reduced.
